The last communication received from a Malaysia Airlines plane suggests everything was normal on board minutes before it went missing over the South China Sea, Malaysian authorities say.
Flight MH370 replied "All right, roger that" to a radio message from Malaysian air control, authorities said.
The search has been widened to waters off both sides of the peninsula.
Malaysia's air force chief has denied reports the plane was tracked to the Malacca Strait in the west.
The China-bound plane went missing on Saturday with 239 people on board.
It vanished about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as it flew over the South China Sea, south of Vietnam's Ca Mau peninsula. No distress signal or message was sent.
Malaysian authorities revealed the plane's last communication at a news conference held in Beijing for relatives of the 154 Chinese who are among the missing passengers.
As the plane reached the boundary between Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace, the Malaysian air control announced it was handing over to Ho Chi Minh City Control.
Minutes later, all contact with Flight MH370 was lost.
China's foreign ministry said conflicting information about the plane's flight path was "pretty chaotic".
Earlier on Wednesday, Malaysia's air force chief Rodzali Daud denied remarks attributed to him in local media that flight was tracked by military radar to the Malacca Strait, far west of its planned route.
Gen Rodzali Daud said he "did not make any such statements", but the air force had "not ruled out the possibility of an air turn-back".
Early search efforts focused on waters between Malaysia and Vietnam.
The search was later extended to the Malacca Strait and the Andaman Sea, off Malaysia's west coast, amid reports that the plane could have turned back.
Operations are now covering some 27,000 square nautical miles (92,000 sq km).
Malaysian authorities on Wednesday requested assistance from India in searching the Andaman Sea, north of the Malacca Strait.
Vietnam has confirmed an investigation into a possible sighting of the plane has so far yielded no results.
Vietnam's air traffic management earlier said it had received an email from a New Zealander working in one of the oil rigs off Vung Tau.
"He said he spotted a burning [object] at that location, some 300 km (200 miles) southeast of Vung Tau," deputy general director Doan Huu Gia said.
Officials still do not know what went wrong with the aircraft, and several leads pursued so far have proven not to be linked to the plane.
After more than four days of fruitless searching, there is an element of desperation creeping into this operation, the BBC's Jonathan Head in Kuala Lumpur reports.
'Shock at allegations'
Some 42 ships and 39 aircraft from several countries are taking part in the search for the plane.
Two-thirds of the passengers on board the plane were Chinese. Some were from a range of other Asian countries, North America or Europe.
Meanwhile, Malaysia Airlines said in a statement that it was "shocked" by reports made against its First Officer, Fariq Ab Hamid, who was the co-pilot of the missing flight.
A South African tourist told Australia's Channel Nine that she and her friend were invited to sit in the cockpit with Fariq Ab Hamid and the pilot during a flight in 2011, in an apparent breach of airline rules.
Malaysia Airlines said it took the reports "very seriously".
None of the debris and oil slicks spotted in the South China Sea or Malacca Strait so far have proved to be linked to the disappearance.
In the US, CIA Director John Brennan said the possibility of a terror link could not be ruled out. But he said "no claims of responsibility" over the missing jet had "been confirmed or corroborated".

Trees planted to hush pipeline pump noise in ND
BISMARCK — A Canadian pipeline company is planting more than 100 mature spruce trees around a pump station in southeastern North Dakota to help hush noise at the facility and quiet complaints from nearby residents.Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. said the tree-planting project began this week along the Keystone pipeline near Fort Ransom, a town of about 80 people, 60 miles southwest of Fargo. The work is slated to be completed in a few days, the company said.
The Keystone has been operating for three years and transports crude oil from tar sands near Hardisty, Alberta, across Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, on the way to refineries Patoka, Illinois and Cushing, Oklahoma. The pipeline is separate from the company's controversial Keystone XL pipeline that still needs the Obama administration's approval to proceed.
The Keystone pump station that contains four, 5,000-horsepower electric turbines has been operating lower than the permitted 55-decibel level since it came on line, according to the company and state regulators. But Bruce Pantzke, who owns a farm less than a mile from the Keystone pump station, said it emits a sound that's like "fingernails on a chalkboard."
Not all sound is the same, he said.
"There is a lot of difference between 55 decibels of soothing elevator music and the whine off those turbines," he said.
Pantzke said there are 18 homes within three miles of the pump station. The facility also is within a few miles of two state parks.
"It's not something you grow used to and you can't sleep with the windows open when that thing is going," Pantzke said of the high-pitched whine from the turbines. "A lot of the neighbors are getting more irritated and sensitive to it every day."
Pantzke said the tree buffer might help hush the noise but he and other residents would rather see the pump station enclosed with sound-deadening insulation.
"We are doing everything we can reasonably do — there is never going to be absolute quiet," said Shawn Howard, a TransCanada spokesman in Calgary. "To completely enclose one site would cost millions of dollars that would be passed along to the cost of the product we transport."
Building a structure to enclose the pump station also could spur "aesthetic issues that others might not appreciate," Howard said.
Pantzke, who lives closest to the pump station, has been among its most vocal critics. He and other residents have written letters to the editors of several North Dakota newspapers complaining about the noise problem.
The company said it hired an independent noise monitoring expert who set up equipment at the Pantzke's property, about a mile from the pump station.
"This expert had a hard time even detecting noise from our facility at that distance," Howard said. "During some of the testing, a coyote howling was more discernible."
North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak said she and fellow commissioner Randy Christmann have been to the pump station site to get a first-hand look at the noise issue.
The commission's duties include regulating coal mining, land reclamation, pipelines and electric and gas utilities. A big part of its recent work has been determining locations for oil and natural gas pipelines that are needed to keep pace with North Dakota's booming energy industry.
Fedorchak said on the day she visited the site it was windy and she could hear the pump station from Pantzke's property but it wasn't "super loud." She said it's important for regulators and companies to do everything possible for peace and quiet.
"We hold our quality of life in North Dakota near and dear," she said. "I believe the company has been coming up with methods to do what is needed and to do what's right."
For its sound-buffering project, TransCanada purchased some 110, 6-foot tall spruce trees from a local nursery at a cost of about $40,000, Howard said. The company also is attempting to acquire additional easements to plant more trees in the area.
Howard said there are no "scientific studies" to indicate how much the trees will reduce the noise, if at all.
The company also has spent "hundreds of thousands of dollars to enhance the insulation around some of the pipes at this facility, which has helped reduce noise to some degree," Howard said.
There are four other pump stations in North Dakota and a total of 25 located along the pipeline's route through South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, Howard said.
"We are not dealing with any other active noise issues with any of these other facilities," he said.

I am not a makeup remover wipe kind of person (I typically remove my makeup with cleansing oil) but I wanted something quick and mess-free that I could keep in my bag to use to remove my makeup for the gym. For the most part, these towelettes did remove my makeup (save for a bit of stubborn mascara/eyeliner from under my eyes, which I had to go over two or three times to really remove) but I do not recommend these if you have sensitive eyes. I do not and these still made my eyes sting horribly. I mean, I had tears rolling down my cheeks, that's how terrible they were. I ever had to check the package to make sure they were safe for eyes, and apparently, they are.
They also made my face feel sticky (I always rinsed my face afterwards) and I didn't like the perfume-y smell. They're also not as wet as I'd hope they'd be.

Removed makeup well, however stung my eyes for about 30 seconds after use. I've used the eye makeup removers in the purple oil-free packaging since I started using mascara at age 13. Now I'm 25 and still love those eye makeup removers, so I got excited when I saw the face wipes. I don't understand why the face wipes would sting the eyes when the eye makeup remover pads do not. Disappointing. Will use up the pack but not repurchase. Plus the scent is not good- try the PONDS wipes- truly HG especially the purple soothing ones.

These are my favorite make-up removing wipes. I don't know what's up with all the bad reviews, I find that all the other wipes on the market are either too oily or too damn dry to wipe anything off. These are perfect. <3

PURPLE PACKAGE product review: (I think they may have re-worked this product?)
I have very sensitive skin. I think they are quite gentle, and I haven't noticed any dryness or reactions from them. I always rinse my face after using. (they say you don't, but I still do)
Overall I am satisfied with these. (I did pick them up for under a dollar with a coupon) In comparison to the maybelline towelettes, these are much less saturated with product. Although they are a bit dryer, they remove my makeup fully.
I do think the maybelline wipes leave more of a film on your skin, and I do not feel that what I use these. My face feels clean, soft, and not dried out after use.
On a full face, heavy application day, I will grab my maybelline wipes, but for everyday face makeup, this work really nice for me. Mascara comes right off, even with only a couple of swipes. (big plus, because I hate rubbing my eyes over and over to remove makeup)

The purple package is the newest package they come in. They actually work really good. The smell is a bit strange. I don't know. I'm on the fence about these, the Neutrogena ones were horrible (smell wise) gag. These ones are kinda strange smelling, not bad, but not very pleasant. It smells a little like plastic. My eyes are very sensitive and they irritate them. I'll come back in a couple of days and add more to this review if it changes. I really did like the Neutrogena ones and they didn't irritate me at all, just that awful smell. Since they don't seem to be that eye friendly to me, I think I'm going to try something else. It isn't a burn, but it definitely is irritation.

I bought these on a whim and will not be repurchasing. Don't be fooled by the calming lavender package with the little picture of cooling aloe. These wipes are not good for sensitive types in spite of the fragrance free and hypoallergenic claims. They burned my face and my eyes, rendering them useless for anything but freshening my hands or removing makeup swatches.

Not impressed with these at all. Huggies wipes work way better, and they were designed to clean up babies. These towelettes are expensive ($6.49 for 25 at CVS), and they don't really work unless I add liquid remover to them, which sort of defeats the purpose. I may as well just use cotton balls. I gave them a shot since they were on sale this week and I had a coupon (BOGO 1/2 off, plus $4 off at CVS). In the future I'll stick to Huggies wipes which are a way better deal ($2 for 72 at Target), and I don't have to add anything to them.

I've tried a lot of make-up remover wipes/towelettes and they're all about the same. I hated Biore, they dried out quickly, smelled just ok, and kinda scratched my face. These on the other hand, are simply wonderful! My mother gave them to me, but they're about $5 for 25 wipes. Despite the typical packaging, they stay very moist which I love. Also, it's not some small flimsy wipe, it's slightly bigger than I'm used to, and stronger too. They soothe and refresh my skin and manage to remove most of my makeup (I always wash my face after for a deep clean). They do not irritate my skin or sting my eyes. The smell is light and pleasant. These will be my go to wipes from now on, love them.

I have been using these to remove my makeup for a while. They do the job quite well and I don't have the problem with the stinging. I really do think it removes most of my full coverage makeup and it hasn't irritated my skin. Whenever I am in a pinch I just grab on of these towelettes and I'm quite happy with it compared to the Neutrogena ones I used to use. Definitely will repurchase these when I run out.

Baton Rouge, LA (FOX44) — Louisiana is expected to add hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next decade. That's great news for anyone with a trade certification, or a degree in fields like engineering or nursing.
But there are 600,000 people in our state who never went to high school, but still want a good career.
David Richard is one of them. He left school before he graduated to help support his family.
"But now, since I have my own family, and I have my own things I need to do for myself, now it's time for me to take care of my own goals and accomplish what I need to," he said.
It used to be that a high school education was enough to land a high-paying job, but not any more.
"As recently as 1970, 75 percent of middle-class jobs could be achieved with no more than a high school diploma," stated Dr. Joe May, outgoing president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS), "meaning that companies could find the people they needed with simply that pool that graduated from high school. Today, that's dropped to well below 40 percent. And it's dropping every day because, what's happened, as companies have changed, as they've become more competitive, they've invested in technology. That technology requires a higher-level skill than they had in the past."
"The people who are in our state, who have struggled for one reason or another, we want to scoop them back up and get them into a great career here in Louisiana," explained Curt Eysink, Executive Director of the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Like Richard, Shartavia Payne chose to go back to school.
"It's not really a tough decision," she claimed. "Especially when it affects you financially, so it's a situation where you can advance and make more money and you can take care of your family and your children."
WorkReady U is the state's adult education division. Its goal is to help Richard, Payne, and the rest of the 600,000 undereducated members of the state's labor pool find a career.
"We have a tremendous amount of talent throughout Louisiana," said Sean Martin, WorkReady U's Executive Director. "And within these 600,000 Louisiana citizens that do not possess a high school equivalency, many of them are extremely intelligent; they're very dedicated; they're raising their families; they're working two, three jobs. But they've experienced life, and they did make a mistake: they dropped out of school. But that shouldn't be a life sentence."
WorkReady U is under the umbrella of the LCTCS. It partners with schools and nonprofits, including the Greater Baton Rouge Literacy Coalition, to provide equivalency training and job-readiness skills.
"These skills could be as simple as showing up to work on time or being able to answer the phone," Martin said. "But more importantly, they go deeper into work ethic and that kind of thing."
Richard and Payne are part of the Literacy Coalition's Accelerated Career Education (ACE) program. Along with their equivalency, they are taking classes in industrial maintenance.
"We're really seeing that need to end the perception of the high school equivalency diploma being the end-all, be-all," said Debbie O'Connor, Executive Director of the Literacy Coalition. "Students come to us and they say they want it, they want that diploma. But usually, what they're really saying is they want to be able to get a better job, earn a better paycheck.
"And what we know, and what they're learning, is that that high school equivalency is not going to do that. It's what comes next, and what door is opened with that credential."
The ACE program focuses on construction and nursing training, because those industries are projected to be in high demand over the next decade. It is a unique program in that it uses team-teaching: one teacher covers personal skills, while the other teaches technical skills.
"They don't just run you through subjects, they actually make sure you know what you know," Richard said.
"It's just like having a mother and father," Payne agreed. "The mother is just as important as the father, so they kind of mesh together."
"The thought is, if we put in this team-teaching model and we're bringing the students not just the basic skills that they need, but also that career training, we're shortening the time," O'Connor explained. "Their time is so precious. They're adults, they have competing priorities, we need to get in and we need to get it done. So when we have those two teachers working together, we're able to shorten that time a student spends in the classroom."
Many of the students in the ACE program, including Payne and Richard, had been out of school for ten years before enrolling. But by going back, getting their equivalency, and getting certified for a trade, they'll be ready for the job growth coming our way.
"It's always good to have a job, but at one point in time in your life, you want to have a career," Richard said. "You know, some place that you're happy being at."
"Opportunity is endless with this program," Payne said, "so why not take advantage?"
While there are 600,000 workers statewide who do not possess a high school equivalency, approximately 10,000 take the exam each year, and only 7,000 pass it.
"We're only serving a drop in the bucket, to be honest with you," O'Connor stated. "We would love to expand that number and reach more learners, and we can do that, of course, by building strong programs that draw people in, but also by reaching out to the community to build awareness and to garner more support for the services that we do provide."
For many potential students, the realities of their lives make going back to school impossible. But Richard sees a much different future for himself since he enrolled, earned his high school equivalency, and started industrial training.
"Basically, more clearer now," he said. "I know where I want to go, I have more set goals and I have everything wrote down. As I accomplish each goal, I cross them out on the paper. And basically, it's like nothing can stop me now."

Cowboys' Sean Lee put on IR
IRVING, Texas -- Sean Lee's season is over.
The Dallas Cowboys announced they are placing the inside linebacker on season-ending injured reserve with a toe injury and have signed veteran linebacker Ernie Sims to fill his roster spot.
Cowboys Will Miss Lee
With Sean Lee being placed on IR, Dallas will be without one of its most important defensive players. Since the start of the 2011 season, no Dallas player has had more tackles, tackles for loss or interceptions.
Lee's Cowboys defensive ranks,
last 2 seasons
last 2 seasons
Category | Stats | Rank |
Tackles | 162 | 1st |
Tackles for loss | 13 | 1st |
Interceptions | 5 | 1st |
-- ESPN Stats & Information |
Lee will have surgery on his right big toe next week with a full recovery expected for 2013. Running back Felix Jones had a similar surgery in 2008 and has not had any issues with the toe since.
Coach Jason Garrett said the team initially believed Lee would miss 4-6 weeks with the injury, which was suffered in the third quarter Sunday at Carolina, but a second MRI on Tuesday confirmed extensive damage.
Lee's agent, Mike McCartney, said Wednesday morning that Lee would be seeking a second medical opinion, but that the linebacker suffered a "significant tear."
"We're not hopeful," McCartney added. "I'm sure he's having surgery sooner rather than later."
Lee leads the Cowboys in tackles with 77 in the first six games, according to the coaches' film. He has two tackles for loss, eight quarterback pressures, one interception, two pass deflections and a forced fumble.
"Injuries are part of the NFL, as you know, in Dallas and 31 other cities," Garrett said. "We've had them. Everybody's had them. You have to deal with them through the season.
"Sean Lee is an outstanding football player. I can't tell you how well he's been playing since he's been our starting inside linebacker. He's the leader of the defense. He makes the calls. He plays the right way in practice. He plays the right way in the game. He defends the run. He defends the pass. He's a bell cow for us and a guy that really, really everybody on our defense and football team looks up to. He goes about it the right way and he's an outstanding person as well. We love everything about him. It's obviously unfortunate and disappointing that he had the injury."
More on Sean Lee
Sean Lee's potential absence creates a huge void, and the Cowboys defense has no choice but to fill it, Calvin Watkins writes. Story
The Cowboys are deep at the linebacker position but defensive co-captain Sean Lee's contributions are irreplaceable, Dan Graziano writes. Blog
• Darren Woodson weighs in on Lee
• Cowboys blog | ESPN Dallas
The Cowboys plan on Lee being around the team for the rest of the season in a similar way Tony Romo remained with the club in 2010 as he recovered from a broken collarbone.
"He has so much intensity about him," Garrett said. "Talking to him yesterday, he's had injuries in the past and he's come back from all of them both in college and here in the NFL. And he has such an intensity about him. He said, 'You know, I'm not getting down. I'm ready to go. I'm going be part of this football team and we're going to get this thing fixed. I'll be back before you know it.' So he just has that way about him in everything he does. He's an outstanding human being and a great guy to have on your football team."
Sims, 27, played in 13 games last year for Indianapolis with four starts and was credited with 32 tackles. In 2010 he started 15 games for Philadelphia and had 55 tackles and two sacks. He spent his first four seasons with Detroit.
The Cowboys view Lee as a key piece of the future of the team, but he has had trouble staying healthy. He almost had his 2011 season come to an end with a dislocated left wrist but managed to miss only one game and played the rest of the season with a cast. He missed two games in 2010 with a hamstring injury after coming in with a knee injury.
Dan Connor will replace Lee in the starting lineup, and Bruce Carter will take over as the defensive signal-caller.
Dallas also put punter Chris Jones on injured reserve and signed safety Charlie Peprah.

I'm too knackered to think of some different wording, but the first of your given meanings is what I intended to get across. i.e. you can upgrade to perl-5.8.7, but you'd still be vulnerable to the last issue in the list. Additionally, we don't offer any advise on dealing with that last issue, as in our (errm, *my*) opinion it's too low risk to bother with. Matt.

Renaissance Man: Bob Ross or Da Vinci? You Judge
Conde Nast Traveler stuntman Mark Schatzker is on a mad quest to make himself into a modern-day Da Vinci during a month's stay in Europe. So far Mark has "mastered" golf in Scotland, "excelled" at gardening in England, "ruled" the kitchens of Paris, and tinkled the ivories in Vienna. His last task: Painting beside Lake Como.
You see before you "La Villa Clooney." I for one and shocked. I'm not saying this painting is going to be hanging in the Louvre anytme soon--the Musée d'Orsay would be more appropriate--but those of you with some familiarity of my artistic history will be able to appreciate this feat of applying paint to canvas.
Let's give credit where credit is due. If Giuliana Gandola hadn't been standing behind me and guiding me, saying things like, "Don't be afraid. Just use the brush," or "No, not like that," and if she hadn't helped me with the Herculean task of mixing colors, then the result would have looked considerably different. At one point in the process, George Clooney's villa was looking more like George Clooney's dilapidated shed with a crooked roof. The problem was one of perspective, and Giuliana helped me fix that.
But most of the paint on that canvas was put there by me.
Of course, it's not enough to just look at a painting. You have to "understand" its deeper meanings. So for those of you not schooled in the intellectually thrilling arena of art criticism, you may be missing out on some high-quality nuance. This is a work rich in meaning. Allow me to explain.
George Clooney's villa is symbolic of not only of George Clooney's villa, but of nice villas everywhere. In this way, it is a universal symbol.
The mountains are symbolic of extremely tall hills made out of rock that are not only majestic and grandly imposing, but also they're difficult to get over. They represent the boundary separating George Clooney's special world from our own.
The man fishing in the boat. This is George Clooney, and by the looks of things, he's hauling in a sizeable lavarello. This is the painting's most significant feature. Clooney as fisherman is symbolic of: a) Slow Food; b) Jesus; c) A sly nod to Clooney's appearance as Lenny Colwell on an episode of "Riptide" in 1984. ("Riptide" was an awesome show. Almost as good as "Simon and Simon.")
The man rowing the boat. This is the "artist" (me). Artists first started putting themselves in pictures during the Renaissance. For example, in Boticelli's "Adoration of the Magi," which hangs in Florence's Uffizi Gallery, you can see Boticelli staring back out at the viewer. It's like Boticelli is saying, "Hey, how's it going?" That's what I'm saying, too.
Tonight, I will be presenting this painting to Count Gherardo Scapinelli. The Count lives in one of the grandest villas in all of Lake Como; it was designed by the same architect who did Milan's La Scala opera house. His family tree goes back to the 1280s. His aunt was Ernest Hemingway's lover, and Hemingway--who, I would like to point out, was an incredible writer but didn't exactly leave a lasting impression with his cooking or piano playing--wrote his one and only children's story for the Count.
I will also be cooking for the Count. And while we eat and appraise my work of art, we will listen to the Schubert piece I teamed up with Albert Frantz to produce.
And who knows, I might even write and dedicate a children's story to the man. It will be about golfing and botanical gardening, though I might throw in a talking animal to give it some zip.
This, in short, is the big test. In a few hours' time, I will see if I have what it takes to be a real Renaissance Man. Wish me luck.

Upcoming competitions
Arts & Culture
We are in the process of making some major changes in our competitions. In the past the competitions ended when the winners were announced. We want to change that. We want our competitions to result in ideas and products that can, and will be, made available for actual use. That requires a different way of thinking in coming up with competition themes. But we believe that it'll be more fun and rewarding for the designers, and of course it will serve the whole purpose of our existence much better. So please be patient. We are very excited about unveiling our new competitions!

America is at a disadvantage here?

In response to America is at a disadvantage here, posted by Mark Wieczorek,
in the thread Fuel Efficiency - is there any controversy?I don't know if the US is at a disadvantage - but yes, attitudes and infrastructure will be difficult and costly to change now. Agree that developing nations should be wary of becoming gas-guzzling societies that privilege convenience and commodity over community and environment. So how do you balance that concern with the need for moving more people and goods around at a more efficient rate to improve business and daily activity?

Fuel efficiency - bit of a conundrum?
Votes (1)
In response to Fuel Efficiency - is there any controversy?, posted by Mark Wieczorek,
in the thread Fuel Efficiency - is there any controversy?This is an interesting point. Because while coming up with ways to facilitate low-energy forms of transport in an overly-reliant car culture like here in the US is necessary, so is providing safer, more efficient and affordable transport for families in India. (Kind of reminded of how some in the US love to talk about China's rapid development and its impact on the environment, when the US has a fraction of the population and only up till very recently was the biggest producer.) Still, every country has a responsibility to the environment and something that's going to be more accessible and high production run should guarantee low emissions (as in real, not labeled). Perhaps some of the solutions for DESIGN 21's bicycle competition will address these needs.

I received the 4.4.3 update for my Nexus 4 earlier, and decided to update it. But it's been going for well over an hour now, and seems to be in a loop.
It's showing the Android robot with the rotating thing coming out of his stomach, saying "installing system update", and the progress bar is moving. But when it reaches the end, the screen flashes, and the screen appears again, and the progress bar does the same. It appears as if the progress bar moves at different speeds each time (never more than about 2/3 minutes to reach the end), but I'm not too sure. Is this normal?
My Nexus 4 is near enough completely stock, the only things that I think could effect it are that I'm running ART and the Google Experience Launcher, and have quite a lot of apps/photos etc. on it. I'm just worried because it's been cycling through this for about an hour now and that doesn't seem right.

Tony Pulis backs Peter Crouch for England
As a proud Welshman, Tony Pulis admits that he has no particular reason to bang a drum on behalf of England. As a proud manager of Stoke City, Pulis cannot contain himself any longer. Peter Crouch, unorthodox, ungainly and unflappable, is playing the best football of his career, according the man who works with him every day. Pulis does not do hyperbole yet does not hesitate to shower his 31-year-old ?10million striker in compliments following Crouch's 13th goal of the season in the 2-1 win over Wolves.

Ok, I show that the derivatives of each of these expressions do indeed equal the integrand but remember that there is a constant of integration when you integrate. So the two expressions you have that integral equal to can in fact differ by a constant, which they apparently do.

1 rubbish.kisskissx | 07/12/2008 | See all kisskissx's reviews (13)You cant really interact with anybody, the options for redecorating/upgrading are very limited. You can only go as far as the parking lot. I dont think you can change your appearance. Its very very repetitive doing the same boring actions over and over again. I took it back and traded it in for another game the very next day when i realised just how little there is to do. This is probably the worst game i have ever played.
3 Not as good as you think!pinkmolly | 18/09/2008 | See all pinkmolly's reviews (8)I've had all the sims games for the ds. When i saw this was out i bought it without any hesitation. I can only say that you can't do as much as you would imagine you'd be able to do, like interact with the customers so well, and i have just had the game 4 days and i'm getting fed up of it already. I did love the castaway sims game, and completed it, and found that the best sims game so far.
4 better than i expectedrozzaer | 19/10/2008 | See all rozzaer's reviews (5)I got this game with my own money, and it was worth it, your pets are a snake, rabbit, guinni pig, parret, and a hamster, the cat and dog are not yours, you have to take crae of them and cure them, the pets are very good graghics, as they aren't blocky like sims 2 pets on the DS. You can decorte your apartment from the money that you have urnt from the pet spa. the pet spa is quiet big but if you save up 15 thousand simoleons, which isn't that hard to reach you can upgrade your spa, and then the spa is really big. The only bad thing about this game, is that to find the cure you don't have to work that hard But overall its a must buy game.
3 RepetitiveSunshade08 | 06/05/2009 | See all Sunshade08's reviews (3)When I first started playing this game it was really fun but after a short while it got really repetitive as you do the same things everyday. Ok, so you can upgrade the spa etc. but you can't interact with anyone or build up relationships or do anything else really...
3 Good GameLankidoodles | 04/09/2008 | See all Lankidoodles's reviews (23)Bought this the day it came out, graphics really good but limited one things you can unlike normal Sims games, unable to cook proper foods, go into town, do certain things with pets. Overall game is good fun earning sim money to upgrade Spa is challenging with loads of mini games. A good buy.

Again, you just recieve your normal FTB payments that you get all through the year, any year, you aren't getting more to vax. Just your usual payment. People are not getting paid to vax. People are, however, being financially penalised for not vaxxing.
If you don't care and wouldn't take a million dollars to vax what's the issue?

It's not about me, it's about the people to whom $2000 would be a lot of money, who shouldn't feel they are being blackmailed to vax.
As this is a Rudd policy, which will only be enacted if the Labor party wins the next election, I don't know that they should be holding their breath any way.
Teach children through love not fear.
Lots of reasons, still many unknowns, too many past mistakes etc. I did a massive risk assessment when my DS and decided not to vax, I certainly admit part of the risk assessment took into account low rates of vpd's in the community and high vax rates.
DS has intolerances so may be medically excused - have not looked into it
Teach children through love not fear.
Just to clarify this supplement payment was put into place to help centrelink get back any accidental overpayments throughout the year, not so that it could be used as bribery as Hootenanny says below. These families are entitled to receive FTB, it has been skimmed off to allow CL to get back any overpayments at reconciliation and now they are planning on denying these families money that they are entitled too. This supplement isn't a 'bonus'.
I doubt very much we will be entitled to any FTB this fy anyway so it probably won't affect my family, nor will we miss it. But what Hootenanny says below concerns me.

CORD USA has many projects that have genuine impact on those who need help. I am very impressed with the volunteers and everyone at CORD for the way they plan and execute programs to offer help.

How do you rate a charitable organization that gives 100% (OK, 99%) of its revenues directly to the targeted recipients? With 10 Stars, not 5!!
I have volunteered for this organization for the last 5 years and I can vouch for their honesty and their dedication to improving the lot of rural Indians and Sri Lankans.
More Feedback
I have been a volunteer with CORD for 2 years. CORD is an organization that works directly in the remote villages in India without any overhead costs to maintain an organization. What I like about CORD is the personal touch it provides the volunteers by putting them in contact with the people who are benefitting from CORD. I also like the youth service-visits that CORD organizes, and I have seen many high school students being inspired to help others and look at life with a different perspective. The mission and vision of CORD is truly inspiring.
More Feedback
I've been volunteering and fundraising for CORD for past 6 months. What I liked about CORD is that they don't do charity, but empower the people in such a way that they don't need charity. I was very impressed by the well organized programs and training for people for all vocations. The best part about CORD is that they work in a very organized way to cover all aspects of life for the people in the villages - medical, social, education and livelihood.

Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
In July 2013, I got the opportunity to volunteer at Sidhbari H.P. India. I really enjoyed this experience because it is unlike anything I have ever done before. Rather then donating money, the organization helps empower the underprivileged. They do not believe in handing out resources, but rather teach the skills to make people self-sufficient. This experience helped me realize that sometimes I take things for granted, and that I should appreciate and be grateful for everything around me. -Megan Mehta

CORD is a wonderful way to share our talents and resources with the underpriveleged. It uplifts both the giver and the receiver. i like CORD because, it is based on holistic principles and the volunteers are genuine and truly caring people. We need more and more volunteers so that we will have a world where no one is suffering.

In August 2013, I had the opportunity to volunteer at CORD's Chinmaya Vijaya Orphanage for GIrls. The experience truly changed my life. CORD does such incredible work for the orphaned girls by providing them with nutritious food, excellent education and healthcare, and many social/artistic opportunities. It was so heartening to see the girls thriving in CORD's outstanding facility. CORD deserves recognition for it's amazing service!

I volunteered with CORD at their Sidhbari center in November of 2011. I was there for just over a month. The work that CORD does in these rural areas of India is just incredible. I feel blessed to have been part of such inspiring work for even a small amount of time. I will definitely go back as soon as i get the chance.

CORD represents the ultimate in Chatitable work. It was inspired by the great saint master Chinmayananda Swamy forty years ago and has been serving the poor all over India. It has low overhead and uses the philosophy of teaching to fish instead of giving fish to eat. It empowers women by small loans, education, health care and many many ways. It has continued to grow in recent years.
More Feedback
CORD is a charitable organization whose philosophy is " Don't give fish, teach how to fish"; "CORD is a bond of love and understanding, encouraging a process of sharing which enriches both the giver and the receiver. " CORD has been serving the poorest of the poor for over 50 years with education, primary health care, micro loans etc with very little overhead. is activites have expanded in the last 10 years to other states in India and abroad. I am very proud of being a supporter of CORD.

Was your donation impactful?
How likely is it that you would recommend that a friend donate to this group?
How likely are you to donate to this group again?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
CORD epitomizes what a charity should do. Specifically, its focus is to empower less fortunate people in rural India to raise their socioeconomic status. CORD helps them achieve these goals by assisting with education and self-sustaining cottage industries. The organization particularly emphasizes the education and training of women

I volunteered with CORD at the Sidhbari centre in Himachal Pradesh a few years ago as a high school senior. It was truly an amazing experience with an even more incredible organization. The group of volunteers were devoted to the cause and infused with positive energy, the various departments tackled the issues existing in rural development from many different angles, and most importantly, the nonprofit exemplified the long-standing sustainability concept: Don't give a man a fish, teach him how to. I can attest that their programs aim to help the populations with the greatest need--through the Community-Based Rehabilitation for the Disabled Department, teams of physiotherapists and social workers made weekly rounds of the surrounding villages for checkups with patients suffering from paraplegia, cerebral palsy, and skeletal deformities. CORD not only provided the necessary medical materials but also helped connect patients with hospitals and advocated for subsidized care from local hospitals and healthcare centers. CORD also successfully implemented microcredit theory for local women to support small business ventures, and even supplemented them with Mahila Mandals (groups designed to discuss women's issues in day-to-day life). As part of economics seminar for school I analyzed the work of CORD with Grameen Bank and found that CORD provided a much more supportive and sustainable structure for engaging local women in long-term business ventures. I was only in India for a month but I would gladly go back to spend more time with this amazing organization. Every person who worked there was inspiring in their goodness and the organization's aims are noble and well-executed. There were no internal politics; only people who strove to make a difference as best as they could.

LinuxPPC 1999
The Red Hat-based installer is geared somewhat more toward the command-line user, though other users should not anticipate any difficulties with it. Perhaps the most stringent problem arising with this installer is the difficulty of going back and making changes to adjust for a problem encountered during the installation.
Nevertheless, booting in the Red Hat installer is very simple. Either add an option to the kernel arguments in BootX (; redhat) or remove the live file system from the MacOS (renaming it is sufficient). The installation process then prompts for various configuration information: keyboard type, type of installation (upgrade or new install), source installation (FTP, NFS, local or CD-ROM), and the partitioning step. Rebooting the computer after the partitioning step is required rather than suggested as per pdisk instruction, otherwise the file system may be corrupted. Then the file system is configured, the mount points are set, and the package selection is proposed. Once installation of all packages is finished, the installer will try to configure the X Server (e.g., by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config). Unfortunately, this operation will likely fail in a frustrating manner; the workaround to this problem is proposed later.
Then, the root password is set and the system is rebooted. Since the X Server configuration failed, the system will boot in runlevel 4 until the X Server is properly configured.
The current implementation of XFree86 is somewhat peculiar to LinuxPPC: the incantation of the X Server is XF68_FBdev, written by Geert Uytterhoeven. This X Server uses a hardware abstraction for the frame buffer by creating a special device file in /dev/ (usually /dev/fb0) and using it to drive the graphics. As with any devices/special files, kernel support is required. The default driver for the frame buffer device is called the open firmware frame buffer (offb). This driver is common to all Macintosh computers, which makes it inherently slow, hence the poor graphics performance of a basic installation (or the total failure thereof).
Fortunately, patches are available to build a kernel to support a particular frame buffer. Such is the case for Apple Powerbooks (1998: G3/233, G3/250, G3/266, G3/292 and G3/300) sporting an ATI Rage controller (either RageII LT or RagePro LT) with 4MB SGRAM. Booting with such a patched kernel will provide users with accelerated 2-D graphics, and an overall improved experience with the X Server (often mistakenly associated with the overall system speed, by first-time users).
To configure the graphics for such a kernel, do the following:
Pass the correct kernel arguments in BootX to indicate the use of another frame-buffer device, screen size, screen depth and refresh rate. For instance, to boot in 1024x768x32@60Hz on a Powerbook G3/266, use the following:
Once the booting process is finished, run Xconfigurator. Note that the correct amount of VRam is now detected. Select a monitor which suits your needs and the resolutions to be used.
Let Xconfigurator try to start the X Server; in the event it fails, be sure to select at least one configuration at 8bpp. In the event it keeps failing to start the X Server, select another monitor.
Start the X Server using startx.
Xconfigurator edits the /etc/X11/XF86Config file for specific hardware. Admittedly, this is more work than most users are willing to do, and there is no guarantee that the list of monitors provided will match a particular monitor. Fortunately, some alternate X Servers are available. Such X Servers are Xpmac and Xpmac_mga (accelerated), which are essentially software-only X Servers (although Xpmac_mga offers a degree of acceleration on some hardware). Installing them requires simply copying them to /usr/X11R6/bin in an existing XFree86 installation and linking X to either Xpmac or Xpmac_mga.
All in all, while this version of LinuxPPC certainly has its flaws, once the problems are resolved, the system is rock-solid and very responsive. Furthermore, the LinuxPPC community is fairly responsive. The support newsgroup is a great source for help on most common problems, as are the mailing lists. Hardware support is currently at its best, as most devices do function properly (even PPP works). For Mac users on the search for a robust alternative to the MacOS, whether for development or server applications, LinuxPPC certainly delivers the goods.

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

Character Plus at the Library
CHARACTERplus is the first county wide initiative to develop character education in EVERY school in Cole County and is dependent upon the participation of all members of our community.
This program was started in 1988 by a concerned group of educators, parents and business leaders who decided that something had to be done about the deterioration of basic values, CHARACTERplus now reaches more than 600 schools in over 100 districts, 25,000 teachers and more than 300,000 students throughout Missouri and Illinois. It is the nation's largest community-wide initiative in character education.
This initiative started by our community voting on 12 character traits, one for every month of the year. These community values will be prominently placed on banners in every school each month out of the year and teachers will educate on the importance of that months value in their classroom.
October - Respect
November - Politeness
December - Compassion/Kindness
January - Self-Discipline
February - Trustworthy
March - Honesty
April - Dependability
May - Hardworking/Motivation
June - Accountability
July - Forgiveness
August - Integrity
September - Responsibility
Check out the displays and booklists throughout the Library on the current Character Plus Trait: Respect.

For instance, we find there the definition of Fat-Finger Dialing: "Fat finger dialing scams take advantage of customers whose fingers are too large for the tiny buttons on the telephones. For example, a customer might unintentionally dial 1 (800) COLLETC, 1 (800) CULLECT, or 1 (800) CALLECT, instead of 1 (800) COLLECT. Class action lawsuits have been filed against several companies that intentionally own knockoff numbers that are just digits away from popular 1 (800) phone numbers." You can also order his book, Fraud in Other Words, which is a collection of fraud slang and jargon.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Bajan won the $100,000 Moccasin Stakes for 2-year-old fillies by 21/4 lengths at Betfair Hollywood Park on Saturday.
For Emma returned $3.80 and $2.80, and Lemon de Oro was another 41/4 lengths back in third and paid $3 to show.
Bajan trailed the field early before Espinoza angled her outside pacesetter Sergeant O'Rourke and Lemon de Oro for the stretch run.
"She's very easy to ride and when I ask her to go she's quick, really fast," Espinoza said. "It's nice to ride horses like that. She's such a nice filly right now and she's still learning."
Bajan has three wins in five career starts and earnings of $159,150.

Comments about Mustang Survival Mustang Auto Hydrostatic Inflatable PFD MD3183:
Wife and I bought two of these to wear every time we boat. Needed to avoid making things hot. The completely open back and mostly open front allows air flow and keeps you from getting hot. Wearing a life vest could save our lives so it's worth the cost.
