Hey thanks for the patch. I never actually got it to work so I ending up reinstalling libdvdread4 in synaptic and then using
Code:sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
to reinstall libdvdcss. Then just for the heck of it, I tried Thor again and it is now working! I looked at lsdvd and it still reports no VTS_TMAPT but the process continues. So I think that the code may have been updated in libdvdread4. In any case a simple reinstall maybe worth a shot before patching.

The Journalism Studies Division of the International Communication Association is concerned with journalism theory, journalism research, and professional education in journalism. The division invites a wide array of theoretical, epistemological and methodological approaches, all of which are united around an interest in journalism and share the aim of enhancing existing understandings of how journalism works, across temporal and geographic contexts. The division is intended to facilitate empirical research and to bring more coherence to research paradigms, and in so doing, to further support the professionalization of journalism studies and journalism education. With journalism as its focus, the division will create a setting in which scholars employing different kinds of academic approaches can engage in dialogue. It would be a clearinghouse for the wide range of scholarship on journalism.
ICA Journalism Studies Division Outstanding Journal Article of the Year
The Journalism Studies Division of the International Communication Association (ICA) announces its 2014 Outstanding Journal Article of the Year Award. The award competition is open to authors whose articles have appeared in peer-reviewed journals in the year 2014.

Examples include explorations of the circumstances in which journalists do their work; the quality of journalistic products; journalists' relationship to audiences, sources, and other communication practitioners or roles; and the effects of their work on society and its structures, such as politics or economics. Research that has tackled these or related issues can be based on historical, critical or empirical methodology. The division especially welcomes comparative research or research that significantly extends our general, not culture-bound, understanding of journalism.
Who can nominate?

What are the prerequisites for the authors?

Which journals qualify?

What must be supplied by the nominator?
The nominator must supply a pdf version of the published article and an explanation, no more than 250 words, of why the article deserves the Award.

All application materials must be in English. Each nomination should include: 1) an 8-10 page summary of the dissertation with no author-identifying information, addressing a) the problem addressed by the work; (b) its theoretical framework; (c) the method used; (d) key findings; (e) and a statement explaining its contribution to journalism studies; 2) a copy of the full doctoral dissertation (author-identifying information should be included); and 3) two supporting letters from faculty mentors. One of these letters must be a nomination from the graduate student's degree advisor that includes a statement articulating the impact of the nominated dissertation and its contribution to the field of journalism studies.

Books published within the last ten years will be considered. Monographs as well as edited volumes of exceptional quality and coherence will be considered for the award.

Nominations including a rationale of no more than 350 words should be emailed by February 15 to Rasmus Kleis Nielsen at email@example.com.
The nomination must specify why the book should receive the award by outlining the importance of the book to the study of news media and politics and by identifying its international contribution and relevance. Please include links to or copies of relevant reviews in scholarly journals.
Arrangements should be made with the publishers of nominated books for three hard copies to be sent by February 15 to the Rasmus Kleis Nielsen at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, 13 Norham Gardens, OX2 6PS, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Supporters gearing up for Saints with Heart 2015
Saints quintet see Six Nations action
Click here
02 December 2013 Categories: Fixture News | views (3389)
In recent weeks there has been an increasing number of Season Ticket Holders who have come to games without their Season Card and requesting a paper ticket to be issued in its place for that match only.
With a large number of people coming to Franklin's Gardens for the Leinster game on Saturday, December 7th, Season Ticket Holders are politely reminded that they must bring a valid Season Card with them to the game as the issuing of paper tickets will not be available.
Failing to bring a valid Season Card will require a new card to be issued and a non-refundable £10 charge being incurred. This new card will supersede the original, rendering it invalid.
The Saints Ticket Office thanks Season Ticket Holders for their understanding and co-operation in this matter. Any queries should be emailed to email@example.com, including a daytime telephone contact number.

Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee's website: 7 April 2011
Date on which the narrative summary was updated: 3 February 2015
The Abu Sayyaf Group was listed on 6 October 2001 pursuant to paragraph 8(c) of resolution 1333 (2000) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden or the Taliban for "participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf or in support of", "supplying, selling or transferring arms and related materiel to" or "otherwise supporting acts or activities of" Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01).
Additional information
The Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) was founded in the early 1990s by Abdurajak Janjalani. It was formed from the more militant elements of the Moro National Liberation Front, an established separatist movement in the southern Philippines. ASG is based in the southern Philippines, primarily the Sulu archipelago, Tawi Tawi, Basilan and Mindanao. Members also occasionally travel to Manila. ASG often resorts to criminal activity, including murders, bombings, extortion and kidnap for ransom both for financial profit and to promote its agenda.
Abdurajak Janjalani was killed in a clash with Philippine police in December 1998. His younger brother, Khadafi Abubakar Janjalani (QI.J.180.04), replaced him as the leader of the group. In September 2006, Janjalani was killed in a gun battle with the Armed Forces of the Philippines; Radulan Sahiron (QI.S.208.05) became the new ASG leader.
ASG has links to Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01) and Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) (QE.J.92.02), and ASG members have been trained by both organizations in guerrilla warfare, military operations and bomb making. Usama bin Laden's (deceased) brother-in-law, Mohammad Jammal Khalifa, used an organization to channel funds to ASG to pay for training and arms.
ASG has been involved in a number of terrorist attacks, including assassinations; bombing civilian and military establishments and domestic infrastructure, including airports and ferries; kidnapping local officials and foreign tourists; beheading local and foreign hostages; and extortion against local and foreign businesses. For example:
- in April 2000, an ASG group kidnapped 21 people from a Malaysian holiday resort;
- in May 2001, ASG members kidnapped three American citizens and 17 Filipinos from a resort in Palawan, Philippines. They later murdered several of the hostages;
- on 27 February 2004, ASG members bombed a ferry in Manila Bay, killing 116;
- on 14 February 2005, ASG members carried out simultaneous bombings in the cities of Manila, General Santos, and Davao, killing at least eight and injuring about 150;
- in 2006, ASG leader Janjalani's group relocated to Sulu, where it joined forces with local ASG supporters who provided shelter to fugitive JI members from Indonesia;
- in July 2007, ASG and Moro Islamic Liberation Front members fought Philippine marines on Basilan Island, killing 14;
- in November 2007, a motorcycle bomb exploded outside the Philippine Congress, killing a Congressman and three staff members. While there was no definitive claim of responsibility, three suspected ASG members were arrested during a subsequent raid on a safe-house;
- in January 2009, ASG kidnapped three International Red Cross workers in Sulu province, holding one of the hostages for six months.

Thanks Eileen I am still doing some research and my sister and I are curious to know if James Kinghorn who married Isabell Waddell/Wadie had any siblings. Our 7xgreat-grandfather was maried about the same time they were only a few miles apart. I don't know if you know but Ormiston the village, where there is still a Kinghorn House (now a newsagent shop as well as a home), was created by an entrapreneur by the name of Cockburn. He was encouraging people to go and build their own homes in this lovely setting and start a new community. Our side of the family seem to stem from there although we did move through inveresk, Haddington and Leith. there is a gravestone in Ormiston graveyard through which I have been able to find some information. Also my fathers direct line have a beautiful marble obelisk in South Leith church Graveyard. So far the weather has been too wet for me to pursue North Leith Graveyard. I ahve a lot of names in right places but have, because so many have the same name, difficulty in finding the right conections. I am having fun trying to work them out. I saw your web page and was interested to see that the Kinghorns have very distinctive eyes and noses. If you would like I could e-mail some photos direct so that you can se what I mean. Christian

Our Perspective
Protecting people with disabilities in times of disaster | Jo Scheuer
12 Oct 2013
Approximately 10 percent of the world's population lives with a disability. Often ignored, forgotten or stigmatized, people with disabilities not only struggle for daily recognition, but face life-threatening challenges in times of disaster. Those whose mobility is impaired cannot access evacuation routes; those with visual or hearing impairment don't receive early warnings; and those dependant on health and other community infrastructure suffer disproportionately from disaster. During the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, the death rate amongst people with disabilities was twice that of the general population, and when Hurricane Katrina hit the US in 2006, the immobile poor were disproportionately left behind in New Orleans. Fourteen percent of those who remained were living with a disability that made them physically unable to evacuate, while 23 percent were caring for a disabled person. October 13 is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. The theme this year is 'disability and disasters,' a welcome move to draw awareness to the difficulties those with disabilities face in times of disaster. 157 countries have now signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities pledging, among other things, to protect persons with disabilities during conflict, humanitarian emergencies and disasters. In planning and preparing for disasters, however, Read More
The time is right to place governance and anti-corruption at center stage | Rebeca Grynspan
30 Sep 2013
Thirteen years ago, when the MDGs were formulated, governance-related goals or targets were not included, mainly for political reasons, but what we learned from that experience is that deficits in governance — such as corruption, elite capture of key resources, and low capacity of government institutions — hinder inclusive growth by squandering resources badly needed for development. I was pleasantly surprised that more than 1 million people, who voted through the MYWorld global survey, expressed their opinion that "an honest and responsive governance" should be one of the top priorities in the post-2015 development framework. It is reassuring that both the High-Level Panel Report and the Secretary-General's report to the General Assembly corroborated many of the views expressed by citizens on holding their governments transparent, accountable and responsive. According to data from the World Bank, each year US $1 trillion is paid in bribes and it is estimated that corruption can cost a country up to 17 percent of its GDP. Imagine the impact of reversing this! A recent UNDP study found that 76 percent of women surveyed think corruption has prevented them from accessing public goods and services. To counter this, we are promoting and supporting specific anti-corruption measures integrated into basic service delivery systems. Momentum is shifting Read More
On the jobs crisis, people want to see action now | Selim Jahan
23 Sep 2013
Sustainable and inclusive development will not be possible unless economic growth is combined with the creation of decent jobs. The International Labour Organization has warned that 470 million new jobs are needed for new entrants into the labour market between 2016 and 2030, in addition to jobs for 202 million currently unemployed people. Tackling the global jobs crisis is not an easy task; it will require bold national policies, private-sector dynamism and an enabling global framework. The discussions on the new post-2015 development agenda represent a unique opportunity to put job creation in the center of the new framework. "Growth and employment" was one of 11 themes at the heart of consultations we organized with nearly 1 million people, asking them what should replace the Millennium Development Goals after they reach their 2015 deadline. This global outreach helped us to better understand the concerns people have regarding employment; it also helped us combine and present their main recommendations to UN Member States and to the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, which are taking the lead in the post-2015 planning processes. And what are these recommendations from people all over the globe? Six key messages from the new report on Read More
Employment and social protection for inclusive growth | Selim Jahan
29 Aug 2013
We live in times that seem to be defined by shocks and crises, and these have the potential to slow down, or even reverse, impressive achievements in human development over the years. There is, in fact, evidence that certain human development indicators have suffered setbacks in the context of a crisis. For example, as a result of the Asian crisis of 1997, the poverty rate in the Republic of Korea went from 2.6 percent in 1997 to 7.3 per cent in 1998. Similarly, the poverty rate in Indonesia almost doubled in the same period. Social protection can be an effective tool for helping people, households and economies to cope with vulnerabilities arising from economic shocks. Countries that had social protection programmes in place were better able to weather the recent economic downturn, and some economies were even able to recover faster. Brazil, for example, was one of the last economies to be hit by the recent crisis and one of the first to begin recovering from it. An important reason was an increase in cash transfers to families, which helped offset the negative effects of the crisis. But social protection can only go so far unless it is linked Read More
I dare you to finish this paragraph about peace | Ozonnia Ojielo
29 Jul 2013
"The core mandate of UNDP is to strengthen national capacities for development. From this basis, the concept of 'infrastructures for peace' has served to guide UNDP's support to assessing and addressing country structural vulnerability. 'Infrastructures for peace' can be defined as 'the network of interdependent structures, mechanisms, resources, values, and skills which, through dialogue and consultation, contribute to conflict prevention and peacebuilding in a society.' Still here? Congratulations. You are probably in the minority. My point in presenting this eye-watering statement unedited is perhaps facetious, but important: All too often in development, jargon is used to obscure activities that are not only vitally important – but actually quite simple as well. The "infrastructures for peace" concept is a case in point. What could be more important in a conflict-ridden country than giving governments, police, quarrelling groups and factions the skills they need to engage peacefully? This means giving communities the resources and support they need to mediate and resolve conflicts, analyze where conflict may re-ignite, and to be warned in time so that rapid response is possible. For example: - In Lesotho in 2012, the political environment was becoming heated and violence was a possibility. UNDP gave mediator training to four Read More
Can states empower poor people? Your thoughts please | Duncan Green
17 Jul 2013
I'm currently writing a paper on how governments can promote the empowerment of poor people. Nice and specific then. It's ambitious/brave/bonkers depending on your point of view, and I would love some help from readers. First things first. This is about governments and state action. So not aid agencies, multilaterals or (blessed relief) NGOs, except as bit players. And not state-as-problem: here I'm looking at where state action has achieved positive impacts. The idea is to collect examples of success and failure in state action, as well as build some kind of overall narrative about what works, when and why. Here's where I'm currently at: Empowerment happens when individuals and organised groups are able to imagine their world differently and to realise that vision by changing the relations of power that have been keeping them in poverty. The current literature suggests a neat fit with a 'three powers' model first proposed by our own Jo Rowlands (I think). According to this reading, power for excluded groups and individuals can be disaggregated into three basic forms: power within (a sense of rights, dignity and voice, along with basic capabilities). This individual level of empowerment is an essential precondition for collective action. For Read More
Nothing threatens the future as much as the debt of the past | Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi
15 Jul 2013
The "complementarity" principle embedded in the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court gives national criminal justice systems primacy in prosecuting serious international crimes. Whenever possible, international crimes should be tried by domestic courts, since this strengthens national ownership, legitimacy and confidence in the justice system. Transitional justice is not a special kind of justice, but an approach to achieving justice in times of transition from conflict and/or state repression. I spoke recently at UNDP's Annual Meeting on Strengthening the Rule of Law in Crisis-Affected and Fragile Situations about complementarity and the challenge for development actors (PDF) to effectively embed these efforts within transitional justice processes, rule of law assistance and the broader development framework. Holding perpetrators to account for serious violations is a complex and sensitive issue, which must be driven by the national society to be successful. Working with partners such as Denmark, South Africa and the International Centre for Transitional Justice, we can build and capitalize on the solid policy and knowledge base already developed. For example, UNDP and other UN agencies supported regional consultations in 2011 and 2012 in the Arab States, bringing together Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen to help national actors Read More

Tactical Ripstop Pant - Dickies Dickies Tactical Ripstop pant, engineered to work as hard as the officers who...
With the 4th of July just around the bend, California state and local officials are preparing to put a damper on the transportation of illegal fireworks into the state this year.
"We are here to tell the people who traffic illegal fireworks," says David Hillman, Cal Fire Chief of Law Enforcement and Fire Prevention, "that we don't care if you do it for fun or for profit. We are determined to put a stop to it."
State and local fire and law enforcement agencies say California continues to see a growing influx of illegal fireworks into the state by organized, commercial operations as well as small, individual, criminal entrepreneurs.
Statistics compiled over the last few years cite that in many communities people have looked up into the sky to witness dazzling fireworks displays that often last for hours and rival authorized publicly launched displays. This wasn't always the case.
Large-scale illegal fireworks operations that smuggle trucks full of fireworks from out of state have increased. At the same time, the number of officers has decreased.
"While 10 years ago this was a problem that local government could be expected to handle and control, today it will take a massive, coordinated effort between state, federal, and local agencies to stop the supply of these illegal items coming across our state's borders," says California Sen. Ron Calderon.
California law defines dangerous, illegal fireworks to include such items as sky rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers, and other miscellaneous types of fireworks that explode, go up in the air, or move about the ground in an uncontrollable fashion.
In California, possession of dangerous, illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor, which is punishable with a fine of up to $1,000 or by imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year. Additionally, parents may be held liable for any fire damage or injury caused by their children using illegal fireworks.

Thekla, Inc.'s Jonathan Blow, creative lead of Braid and upcoming game The Witness, revealed the following Italo Calvino quote, from the book "Invisible Cities," as the origin behind his new dev studio's name.
"Those who arrive at Thekla can see little of the city, beyond the plank fences, the sackcloth screens, the scaffoldings, the metal armatures, the wooden catwalks hanging from ropes or supported by sawhorses, the ladders, the trestles. If you ask 'Why is Thekla's construction taking such a long time?' the inhabitants continue hoisting sacks, lowering leaded strings, moving long brushes up and down, as they answer 'So that it's destruction cannot begin.' And if asked whether they fear that, once the scaffoldings are removed, the city may begin to crumble and fall to pieces, they add hastily, in a whisper, 'Not only the city.'
If, dissatisfied with the answers, someone puts his eye to a crack in a fence, he sees cranes pulling up other cranes, scaffoldings that embrace other scaffoldings, beams that prop up other beams. 'What meaning does your construction have?' he asks. 'What is the aim of a city under construction unless it is a city? Where is the plan you are following, the blueprint?'
'We will show it to you as soon as the working day is over; we cannot interrupt our work now,' they answer.
Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. 'There is the blueprint,' they say."
- Italo Calvino, "Invisible Cities"
