SOMA, Turkey (AP) — With photos of their loved ones pinned to their chests and chanting the names of lost miners, grieving relatives laid their dead to rest in mass burials Thursday, as gravediggers labored to make room for scores more victims of Turkey's worst mining disaster.
"The love of my life is gone," women wailed loudly, swaying and singing improvised laments about the departed as bodies were lowered, one by one, into the freshly dug graves.
Rescue teams recovered another nine victims, raising the death toll to 283 from Tuesday's disaster, with at least 140 miners believed still trapped underground, according to government figures.
Rage blended with grief as revulsion over poor safety conditions and what some perceived as government indifference set off protests across Turkey. "It's not an accident, it's murder," read a banner waved by trade unionists who marched through the streets of Istanbul.
The disaster has stirred up new hostility toward Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government and thrown his presidential ambitions off stride. Blackening his reputation further, Turkish newspapers published a photograph Thursday of one of Erdogan's aides kicking a protester who was being held on the ground by armed police.
At a graveyard in the mining town of Soma, where coal has been the main industry for decades, mourners said they spent their whole lives fearing a disaster like Tuesday's, in which an explosion set off a deadly fire just as workers were preparing for a shift change, trapping hundreds underground. No miner has been brought out alive since before dawn Wednesday.
"The wives of the miners kiss their husbands in the morning. When they come back, even if they are five minutes late, everyone starts calling, said 45-year-old Gulizar Donmez, whose husband and father are both miners and whose neighbor was among the victims. "You never know what is going to happen."
Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said the search for survivors was being hampered by a fire that had spread to a conveyor system — engulfing a 650-foot (200-meter) stretch of tunnel — but progress was made Thursday toward extinguishing it. Rescue operations have been suspended several times as fire created toxic fumes and too-risky conditions for rescuers.
Emergency crews detected a drop in carbon monoxide levels "which means that the fire has gotten smaller," Yildez said.
Erdogan, who is expected to announce his candidacy soon for Turkey's presidential election in August, was greeted by angry protests during a visit to Soma on Wednesday after he referred to mining accidents as "ordinary things" that "happen all the time."
The Turkish leader was forced to take refuge inside a supermarket after angry crowds shouting "Murderer!" and "Thief!" — in a reference to alleged corruption — clashed with police.

Hate to say it...
but I think I am done with Blackberry. I currently have the 1st gen storm and am mainly sick of battery / memory issues and lack of customization and a horrible web browsing experience.
That said, I need help picking my next phone!
I am still considering the Storm 9550, but I recently saw videos of the Nexus One AND hear its coming to Verizon this spring. With the 2.1 OS out for it and multi-touch etc. it looks very tempting and insanely fast! Really, the speed of the Nexus One web browser BLEW me away.. and from what I've heard the email is great, which was my one reason for using BB so long. Plus, all the open programs and stuff.. seems hard to beat.
So, to those of you who own BBs and have tried Android, what do you think? Should I get the Nexus One? Storm2? Is there a better phone coming in the next few months?badabing badaboom -
If you don't like the Storm, why are you considering the Storm 2?
If you don't want to wait, get the Droid now. You can get the 2.1 goodies on the Droid now without even rooting it.
If you root your Droid, you can overclock it and will run FAST. No need to wait for the Nexus to come to Verizon.

Coming from blackberry I feel android messaging and email lacks compared to blackberry, however is excells in every other way.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 02-05-10, 09:52 AM #10
Agreed. In that line of thought, IM prgrams aree lacking as well.
I do think BB's have better battery life, at least on mine. I don't do well on the Droid battery at all, but, the phone does a lot more so that's fairly understandable. I bought an extended battery and life is better.
Text editing and the keyboard in general is a pain on the Droid, but, probably on the Storm as well.
Overall, I like my Droid a LOT and won't be back to BB until stuff changes bigtime.8830 126.96.36.199 and Droid, both on Verizon - 02-05-10, 10:12 AM #11
I was really hating my Storm 1 after having it for a year. Mainly because of having to do a battery pull every day. Verizon finally replaced it with a Storm 2. I wasn't expecting much difference, but it is night and day.
The Storm 2 has been rock solid. The lowest I have seen File Free memory drop to is 105 MB. My Storm 1 would drop all the way to 0 frequently, and never had more than 23 MB.
All I can figure is that it's like trying to run Windows on a PC with 256 MB RAM versus one with 2 GB RAM. If you don't have enough memory, the platform will probably be unstable. At least, the Storm 2's extra memory is the only difference I can see that would make it more stable.
And with Opera Mini and WiFi, browsing is pretty good. Maybe not AS good as on Android, but good enough for me. Not worth the tradeoff in how email sucks on Android compared to my BB. - 02-05-10, 10:29 AM #12
after owning four blackberries myself, i'm actually picking up my droid tomorrow. i just got fed up with the poor OS's, constant leaks, upgrades, and it still doesn't work all that great. i've been much happier recently with .419 on my Tour, but i'm still switching to the droid tomorrow. Droid messaging isn't quite up to par with blackberry, but it's a much more techie oriented phone with tons more features, so i know it will keep me happy.
-Twitter / mjesenovec -
Yeah, at first I was realllly missing some BB stuff. But, as you assimilate, you become cool with it. I immediately loved the Droid for a lot of stuff the BB can't even come close too, then it took me a couple weeks to get ok with a few other things.
Email on K9 seems to be improving, using SWYPE on the keyboard really helped al lot (although it has it's own pain). Found a great RSS feed to replace my beloved Viigo. etc etc...
Just give it time and you'll be pleased mostly.8830 126.96.36.199 and Droid, both on Verizon - 02-05-10, 10:40 AM #14
I will agree with this as far as e-mail push. But the other work around with the Android/Droid since the browser is so good u can just log directly on to say yahoo and check your emails that way. If u use your phone to keep yourself fed then u might want to take that into consideration.
Other than that I would definitely go for the Droid, or wait for the Nexus1/Passion.
I honestly was considering getting the N1/Passion but after overclocking my Droid and updating it with Bugless Beast which has the oc feature built in.
I can say me getting the Passion/N1 may not happen. But with me u never know.
Also someone siad whats the point of over clocking a 1mhz phone?
Simply put there geek freaks out there who just love to push the limits.....
Gotta love the geeks baby - 02-05-10, 01:24 PM #15
LOL, not that I don't see the point of 1ghz, just wondering at what point the risk-reward becomes offset or too high. How much faster does the phone have to be over 700-800mhz to really notice a difference. Just curious as I know nothing of processors, but running hotter than normal to me would wear the phone down eventually? - 02-05-10, 01:29 PM #16
I have noticed a significant difference in the performance of my phone at 950
as far as the rest of your statement I cannot elaborate myself. But u know full well htere are just gonna be those that wanna test the limits.
One thing I'm guessing what speed will do is allow u to run more sophisticated applications on your phone. Thats my two cents - 02-05-10, 02:03 PM #17
messaging? seriously? if you are having problems messaging of all things i'm not sure you are maxing out its potential. try Handcent SMS (free) or Chomp SMS (free) to try and ease your worries.
hah, email is just fine on this beast. if you are having problems i would think about 90% of the time it can be solved!
this phone is ALL that it's cracked up to be! and this is google just getting started?!!?hey, i had a stroke. if my words are jumbled or dont make sense, BACK OFF. its fine in my world.... - 02-06-10, 02:42 PM Thread Author #19
does overclocking the droid reduce the battery life significantly? I do have a need for email / sms but all the other IM apps i could care less about. All of my email / business is run through gmail anyway. It seems the N1 maintains decent battery life even with its 1ghz processor. That said, i've never used a touch device that hasn't had a click (ala the storm) or an actual keyboard. I might go play with a droid soon and see if i can find someone with the N1 to see if I like how their touchscreen works.
badabing badaboom - 02-06-10, 02:58 PM #21
I agree. I switched from a BB Bold 9000 to the Nexus and I haven't missed a beat when it comes to email. I simply migrated to Gmail...and feel as connected as I ever did with BB. Texting is so much nicer as well. My gmail comes in just as quick as my @blackberry email. Setting up a yahoo account was a pain in the **** though. However I just closed that account as well and moved entirely to gmail. It feels polished compared to BB email. I have several other enail accounts but I just check those with the browser...it's just as quick and easy as on a laptop anyway.
There is nothing I can think of that I miss about the BB experience.

I'm running at 1.1GHz/250MHz and my Droid is lighting fast and EXTREMELY stable. Couldn't be happier right now. Plus with the profiles I have set, battery life is awesome.
It is much faster. Pages seem to render a lot faster and everything overall I feel is much smoother. I had it set at 950MHz and 1GHz, and I can tell the difference when I have it set on 1.1GHz. Also, my device has not heated up at all. It does get a little hotter, but it is almost unnoticeable unless you use the device for 4 hours without putting it down.
There are a lot of features from the BB that I can't give up. I like the Droid; I like a lot of other devices too. But BBs have those particulars that I need.

Belgian Economic Mission to Japan, Days Five and Six
While the Princess Mathilde took a flight to come back in Belgium, Prince Philippe started his fifth day in Japan, on June 14, visiting the Panasonic Center, the multinational electronics corporation.
At the Panasonic Headquarters in Osaka the Prince, along with Belgian Ministers, discovered the newest technologies of Panasonic, including the new 3D technology. Prince Philippe also attended the signing ceremony of the collaboration agreement between Panasonic and Imec, a world-leading research in nano-electronics and nano-technology and also attended a decoration ceremony during which Mr Masayuki Matsushita, vice chairman of Panasonic Board, received a Belgian honorary distinction (Commander in the Order of Leopold).
In the early afternoon, the Prince visited the Headquarters of Daikin Corporation. After that the Prince inaugurated the "Belgian Beer Weekend Osaka 2012", he visited the different beer and food stalls and also he tasted some Belgian fries and a Belgian beer.
In the evening Prince Philippe was present at the closing cocktail of the seminar on Life Sciences and then he attended a gourmet dinner at Hotel Hilton Osaka.
On the last day of the economic mission, June 15, Prince Philippe visited the Silver Ginkakuji Temple in Kyoto. The Prince had lunch at the State Guest House with the Belgian delegations where they attended a classical Japanese dance show.
The economic mission ended with a press conference with Belgian journalists about the conclusions of the mission.

Lake County, Fla., Manager David Heath is working to accommodate an $8.6 million decrease in revenue through workshops with department heads to identify places for cuts. The budget has been Heath's top challenge since taking office last year, he says, because of falling property-tax revenue and county commissioners' decision not to raise the rate. "We're going to live within our means," Heath said. "The budget I'm putting together will be based on existing revenues."

Pennsylvania-based fund-of-hedge-funds firm Attalus Capital has launched a dedicated portable alpha product targeted at institutional investors.
According to Patrick Egan, president of Attalus, the new product, which became available earlier this month, bundles together alpha and beta in order to offer clients one product instead of two. Attalus creates the alpha portion of the product, while Minneapolis-based overlay specialist The Clifton Group builds the beta portion.
The first client for the product, a large institutional investor, which Egan declined to name, has placed $25 million in the strategy. Egan said the dedicated portable alpha product was a result of client demand. "There were a number of clients who mentioned that they would like to do it, but there were a lot of moving parts," he said, referring to most portable alpha products, in which alpha and the beta are each managed as separate products.
Rick Ballsrud, senior portfolio manager at The Clifton Group, said institutions would rather educate their committees on a single product rather than multiple ones. "We have seen a number of clients around the country that have indicated they have wanted one turnkey product," said Ballsrud.
According to Egan, portable alpha can provide excellent returns. "Portable alpha generates a strong outperformance over benchmarks on what we think will be a consistent basis," he said.
"We have generated close to 500 basis points over the S&P since inception in 2000," says Egan, referring to when the firm first began working with The Clifton Group on portable alpha. "They were separate [the alpha and the beta portions], but if you put them together, that is what we got," he added.
Egan says that a side benefit to this product is that it allows institutions to rebalance their portfolios without having to fire any managers.

In an effort reflecting South Korea's global importance, the world's most influential commercial and investment banks -- working with the regulators that oversee them -- gave the country's borrowers a one-month reprieve yesterday on up to $15 billion of troubled loans due by the end of the year.
The agreement, which essentially bent the rules for large borrowers near default, was the only realistic alternative for these banks. They would have faced the prospect of losing much more and perhaps causing a far greater crisis had they demanded repayment.
Their decision followed moves by the International Monetary Fund and other lending institutions last week to provide $10 billion in accelerated aid to the beleaguered country.
There was no reaction in the South Korean stock market, closed until Saturday for a year-end holiday. But the news contributed to a stock rally in the United States, where the Dow Jones average rose 113.10 points, or 1.5 percent, on optimism that the Asian crisis will be contained.
Although South Korea is the 11th-largest economy in the world and is considered a bulwark against security threats posed by North Korea, more than the fate of that one country is at stake. Japan's economy is ailing and all lenders, particularly the Japanese, are looking past South Korea and assessing the impact corporate defaults there eventually might have on Japan -- South Korea's single largest creditor and the world's second-largest economy.
The latest rescue efforts were also aided by South Korean legislators' decision yesterday to pass major financial changes pushed by the I.M.F.
The changes include deregulating interest rates, opening up the country's markets to foreign investors, and, effective two years from now, forbidding subsidiaries of the country's giant conglomerates to finance one another's activities. South Korea also consolidated financial supervision under the auspices of one regulator, a move intended to appease critics of a lax regulatory system.
To allay concerns among South Koreans that the economic crisis would result in huge layoffs, the legislature declined to pass a law that would have made it easier for banks there to dismiss workers. That could prove to be a sticking point between South Korea and the I.M.F., which had sought such a change.
In the United States, about a dozen American commercial and investment banks met yesterday morning with Federal Reserve officials in New York, then reconvened with international counterparts later in the afternoon at the headquarters of J. P. Morgan & Company. J. P. Morgan is one of the largest American banks and is coordinating the response of financial services firms to the South Korean crisis.
The banks have agreed to roll over $10 billion to $15 billion in loans and other financial contracts until the end of January.
After that, the troubled debt will be repackaged as bonds, guaranteed by the South Korean Government, that commercial and investment banks will purchase and either hold or resell, according to American commercial bankers.
''From what we understand, this process is proceeding in a constructive way,'' said Lawrence H. Summers, the Deputy Treasury Secretary. ''It reflects the general awareness in the financial community of the importance of financial institutions' taking responsibility with respect to Korea's financial problems. Going forward, there will be a great deal of work to do.''
But discussions of how to repackage the loans are unwieldy because lenders have different needs and are owed debt with varying due dates. Bankers said South Korea had about $40 billion in short-term debt maturing by March 31.
''I think there's a certain spin on this in Washington that this is under control,'' said a senior commercial banker. ''We've been at this a grand total of two and a half workdays. Generally, the trading world is not around during the holidays and you can't do a bond execution after Dec. 15. There wasn't any great game plan here until today.''
World regulators are concerned that South Korea's own lenders not use the enormous rescue operation as an opportunity to rid themselves of bad loans. Repackaging these loans as bonds is seen as a mechanism that would shift the risk of nonpayment to investors willing to buy them and away from taxpayers. But the main reason for repackaging the loans as bonds is to convert short-term debt into long-term debt. That would ease South Korea's cash shortage by easing the pressure for enormous amounts of money needed to pay loans coming due soon.
The South Korean Government announced yesterday that its external debt at the end of November totaled $156.9 billion, with $92.2 billion of that in short-term debt due to repaid by the end of 1998. South Korea said external debt as of Dec. 20 totaled $153 billion, compared with $160.7 billion owed at the end of last year. There are a variety of ways to calculate the debt, however, but American bankers said they were comfortable with the figures.
The exact breakdown of how much South Korea owes to whom is unclear because the information is partial and some is outdated. Moody's Investors Services Inc. figures suggest Japanese lenders hold about 40 percent of South Korea's total external debt, while West European lenders hold 45 percent and United States lenders hold about 15 percent.

If there's ever been a poster child for the folly of government intervention, it's the housing market. Decades of political manipulation set the stage for the collapse that sunk the entire economy. It's going to be a long time before the country gets back on its feet, unless we embrace reform.
Last month, new housing starts fell to 571,000, down from last year's figure of 606,000 and about one-third of the 2006 peak. As the housing market goes, so too does the construction industry, which has shed more than 2.2 million jobs in just over five years.
More than 800,000 properties are now owned by lenders, a similar number are in the process of foreclosure and 3.5 million mortgages are delinquent. Some 11 million mortgages, a staggering 22.5 percent of all American homes, may be underwater - where the amount of debt exceeds the value of the house. Such dire statistics are examples of what follows when government meddles with the market. Congress and the White House promoted loans that should never have been made in the first place. When owners defaulted, government turned to taxpayers to pay the bills.
Instead of learning the lesson of what happens when risk is severed from reward, both the White House and Congress seem to think more interference is needed, not less distortion. Two weeks ago, the Obama administration floated the idea of letting anyone with a mortgage backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac refinance to the current lower rate of around 4 percent, even if the mortgage was underwater. That would have saved the homeowners a lot of cash but would cost Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hundreds of millions of dollars. Ultimately, the bill would be passed along to responsible taxpayers because all those mortgages are ultimately backed by the government, which means us.
President Obama's latest deficit-reduction plan proposes that Fannie and Freddie reduce taxpayer risk by requiring more mortgage insurance and charging lenders higher fees. This will result in shifting costs from taxpayers to borrowers, and it's a welcome step in the right direction. The problem is it still envisions a permanent role for Fannie and Freddie, the government-sponsored enterprises that are a disaster.
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, Texas Republican, offered a bill to wind down Fannie and Freddie and force government to exit the conventional mortgage market. However, many of Mr. Hensarling's Capitol Hill colleagues think the feds should continue playing a dominant role in the mortgage market. Competing legislation from other members would establish a public "credit facility" or establish new chartered mortgage guarantors. Doing so would only perpetuate the current problem.
Lenders are sophisticated entities with a lot of resources to decide whether someone is a good credit risk. When lenders have their own money on the line and know they can't rely on taxpayers for a bailout, they will be more inclined to make smart calls. Until the housing market shakes itself out, the economy is going continue to struggle. It's time for the bumbling federal government to get out of the way and let the market work.

Pinus strobiformis Engelm. |
Natural range |
The Chihuahua white pine, Pinus strobiformis, family Pinaceae, is a species of pine tree that occurs in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains of Northern Mexico, from a short distance south of the US–Mexico border south through Chihuahua and Durango to Jalisco.
It is typically a high-elevation pine, often growing mixed with several other pine species. In favourable conditions, it makes a tree to 30 m, rarely 40 m tall.
Chihuahua white pine, Pinus strobiformis, is a member of the white pine group, Pinus subgenus Strobus, and like all members of that group, the leaves ('needles') are in fascicles (bundles) of five, with a deciduous sheath. The needles are finely serrated, and 8–14 cm long.
The cones are very large, 16–50 cm long and 9–11 cm broad, and have scales with a very characteristic prolonged and often recurved or S-shaped apex. The seeds are large, and with a very short wing; they are dispersed mainly by birds, particularly the Mexican Jay. It is a very drought tolerant tree but greater populations grow on moist and cool places living in association with Pinus hartwegii and Pinus rudis.
The seeds were used as a food by Native Americans in the present day Southwestern United States.
The wood is used in Mexico for furniture and doors.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
I agree. I have traded around it for the last week or so when it was stuck in a range. After the close at 11.00 and very influential upgrade by M.W I know when not to fight a major trend - just go with it. You don't have to own it (BAC) however I would not consider a short (Puts) at much higher levels.
He means buy BAC stock, everybody knows the tricks.
Must be short.
BAC at 11.23 now and Whitney pump is on!!! This girl hated financials past two years and now it's a strong buy??? nice to be analyst!!! just say whatever without any repercussions!!!

"This was so easy to design, and I love the small size, as I will be tucking these into Christmas cards. The order was delivered quickly and without issue. I would use Tinyprints again in a flash."
"This postcard was super easy to customize. The colors (granted, only black and white) are vivid and crisp. The paper for the postcard is nice and thick. All the printing looked superb. Basically I'm very impressed and want to buy other things like address labels and see if they are just as high quality!"
"Arrived more quickly than estimated- overall pleased without complaints. Just wish that there were matching return address labels and that it came with an option for a card format allowing personalized messages rather than a postcard with all of one's personal info open to the public. :("

My Dad, the Switcher: Day 7
Last week, my previously-very-anti-Mac dad started using a Mac mini, and I wrote about his experience -- positive, to say the least. If you haven't read the story of his first day with the Mac, you might want to read that first. Yesterday, one week in, I checked in to see how he's doing. So far, Dad...

The Apple Developer Connection has just posted a nice article about MySQL (the famed open source database) and OS X, calling it an 'ideal development combination.' The article reveals that some of the developers at MySQL AB (that's the commercial company that makes MySQL) program in XCode, for a num...
Blogging the switch to Mac OS X
I found another one of those 'switcher blogs' and I thought it might make an interesting read for both Mac newbies and power users. I honestly can't find any information on the author, but My Journey to Macintosh provides up some interesting switcher experiences, such as loading up Firefox just bec...

Slaughterhouse-Five Chapter 6, Section 19 Summary
- The men guarding the American prisoners in Dresden are all kids and old guys sworn into the army the day before the Americans arrive.
- They are a little nervous to be meeting American troops straight from the front.
- When they arrive at the train station to see Billy Pilgrim (in his blue toga and silver boots), Paul Lazzaro (who is clearly nuts), and Edgar Derby (filled with puffed up notions of patriotism and wisdom), they immediately relax.
- These Americans are ridiculous, nothing to be afraid of.
