Salman Rushdie, John le Carre 'end 15-year-old literary feud'

- Rail budget missed the opportunity to lay out an agenda for the future, writes Nitish
After more than a decade of 'one of the most gloriously vituperative literary feuds of recent times,' Indian-origin author Salman Rushdie and popular writer John le Carré have reconciled.
Last month, Rushdie told an audience at the Cheltenham literature festival that he "really" admired Le Carré as a writer.
"I wish we hadn't done it. I think of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as one of the great novels of postwar Britain," the Guardian quoted him, as saying.
According to the paper, now Le Carré has also made an attempt to end the 15-year-old feud.
"I too regret the dispute. My position was that there is no law in life or nature that says great religions may be insulted with impunity," he told the Times.
"I admire Salman for his work and his courage, and I respect his stand. Does that answer the larger debate which continues to this day?" Le Carré told the Times.
The pair began arguing 15 years ago about the merits of freedom of speech versus the limits of religious tolerance.
It, however, degenerated into Rushdie calling le Carre a 'pompous ass' and le Carre describing Rushdie as "arrogant" and having undergone "self-canonisation".
But following in the footsteps of Paul Theroux and VS Naipaul, who shook hands at last year's Hay festival after a lengthy falling out, Rushdie and Le Carré's wounds appear to have finally healed, the paper said.

International projects a growing part of Balco's business
In a nondescript concrete building on an industrial street in southwest Wichita is a 56-year-old company whose products are found in some high-profile buildings around the world.
Balco Inc. manufactures nine different categories of architectural products that are in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; Palm Island Resort in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Hong Kong (China) Convention Center; and the 88-story Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
International projects have become an increasingly important part of the company's business. They have also proven a buffer against a slowdown in commercial building projects in the U.S. brought on by the 2008 recession.
"The number of buildings dropped in half," Balco chief executive Ronnie Leonard said. "Building is not back to where it was … but at least we're headed in the right direction."
The company's products include the following:
• Expansion joint systems – flexible material inserted between concrete joints in a building that allows the concrete to expand and contract as well as to flex in instances of movements or shifts underground• Floor and wall fire barrier systems
• Egress systems and exit signs using photoluminescent materials that absorb and store natural light and illuminate in the dark without the aid of power.
The company employs 53 in Wichita and 38 in Oklahoma City.
Balco was started in 1958 by Claude Balzer. The Balco name is derived from his last name, said Leonard, who has been with the company for 18 years. Leonard, a Wichita State University graduate, worked as Balco's chief financial officer for 16 years before being promoted to CEO two years ago.
The company's majority owner for 25 years has been Dallas-based private equity firm Capital Southwest Corp. Leonard and Ron Knak, vice president of engineering, also have ownership in Balco.
Leonard said the 2008 recession wasn't really felt in the commercial construction industry until about 2011 – because many of the building projects her company and others were working on had already been financed and were underway before the severity of the downturn became clear.
About the same time Balco started to feel the effects of the recession, the company was seeing the results of its efforts to increase exports.
Those efforts included expanding its worldwide distribution and increasing its export department staffing from one employee to three. The effort has led to a 200 percent increase in exporting at Balco between 2011 and 2013, Leonard said.
"That has really afforded us the opportunity to increase our market share," she said.
Also adding to the company's growth in recent years, she said, were a focus on value-added services to clients – while competitors cut back – and making strategic acquisitions of firms that allow Balco to tap into new markets.

The Wichita Eagle is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point.

HealthSouth Amends Senior Credit Facility
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthSouth Corporation (NYSE: HLS) today announced it has amended the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facility. The amendment increases the size of its revolver from $500 million to $600 million, eliminates the former $100 million term loan ( $95 million outstanding), extends the revolver maturity to August 2017, and lowers the interest rate spread by 50 basis points to an initial rate of LIBOR plus 1.75 percent.
"The strength and consistency of our financial performance and the reduced debt level led to an upgrade in our credit ratings in the second quarter of this year," said Doug Coltharp, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of HealthSouth. "As a result, we were able to access improved terms in the senior credit market. The amended credit facility lowers our debt service requirements and further enhances our financial flexibility."
The Company intends to file a Form 8-K relating to the amended credit agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission today. When filed, that Form 8-K will also be available on the Company's Web site, www.healthsouth.com, in the investor section under SEC filings.

10 Ways to Grow Your Facebook Following
Has your Facebook Page growth stalled?
Now is a good time to examine your Facebook activities, cutting out what isn't working and expanding what works.
Here are ten tips to help grow your Facebook community.
#1: Connect With Other Page Managers
This is a powerful tactic to a make a live connection with other Page admins who have a similar demographic to yours and cross-promote each other.
So if you are an ice cream store with a Facebook Page, make a live connection with the pizza parlor in your neighborhood that draws the same clientele (you may already know the owner of the pizza parlor). Then talk to him or her about doing a little Facebook cross-promotion and share each others posts with your audiences every once in a while.
Joint ventures also help forge these meaningful connections. Host a webinar with another company that has a similar audience. This can be a great way to become visible to their audience.
#2: Share Original Content
Content is still king and when people share your content, your Page name travels with it. Think of new ways you can add original photos as part of your content.
Maybe it's a screenshot from a hot tip. Or maybe it's a photo from something happening behind the scenes at your business that you ask people to caption. Or you can add an inspirational or thought-provoking quote to a photo.
Just make sure you are following photo copyright laws. Notice how this photo is also branded with the name of the blog.
#3: Tag Your Page From Your Personal Profile
Make sure it's easy for your friends to like your Page. As we know, Pages are not being seen as much in the news feed, so what is a page owner to do?
I recommend you post about your business occasionally on your Personal Profile. If you tag your Business Page (type "@" and then start typing your Page name until you can select it from the drop-down menu that appears) rather than share the status, people who mouse over your Page name in your post can easily like the Page right from your update.
#4: Link Your Profile to Your Page
This is a very simple thing to do, yet I see so many people skipping this step. If users are searching and finding your Personal Profile on Facebook, you want to make it as easy as possible for users to find your Business Page as well.
When people list where they work and it's not properly linked to their Facebook Page, a strange "Community Page" is created with that same name and it has a suitcase icon. Then people start liking that Community Page rather than your real Facebook Page.
All you need to do is to delete the Community Page from your Work and Education section in your About area (click Edit in the About section), then add in the correct Facebook Page.
#5: Add Facebook in Your Email Signature
How many emails do you send each day? Again, this is not rocket science—just consider this tip as your gentle reminder to add a link to your Page in your email signature. Many email programs such as Gmail make it easy to customize your email signature with clickable icons.
Or you can use WiseStamp to make your email signature stand out.
#6: Comment (Thoughtfully) on Other Pages as Your Page
This is a great way to get more exposure for your Business Page with a target audience. Participate on other Pages where your audience is already having conversations. Find complementary Facebook Pages and like them as your Page, then watch your Page home feed and comment on the posts.
Use Facebook as your business the same way you use it personally: by interacting and having conversations as your Page.
Remember to add to the conversation and authentically build relationships. That will lead to those meaningful connections I mentioned in point #1.
This activity takes time and you may find that you only have 10 minutes a week to do this. But it's a good habit to get into to get more visibility for your Page.
#7: Run a Contest
Running a contest can be a great way to get new likes on your Business Page. It does cost some money to run a contest, but hopefully you have a marketing budget for your business.
Many of the apps that are available for Facebook contests (and you MUST run a Facebook contest through an app) are not too expensive and are easy to set up yourself.
Running a contest is also a great way to promote your product or service in a fun way. Running a contest with a like-gate on your contest app also gives you the ability to make sure people like your Page before they enter. And it's a great way to get folks on your email list to come over to your Page to like you and enter your contest. Who's the winner here? It's you.
#8: Add a QR Code to Your Business Card
How many business cards do you give out? Make it easy for the people you have connected with in person to connect with your Page. Creating a QR code is easy and free at sites like Kaywa and QRStuff.
Use the link for your Facebook Page and you have automatically created a QR code that you can add to the back of your business card.
#9: Advertise Your Page on Facebook
Today there are many options for advertising on Facebook. To get the best value for generating new likes for your Page, I would suggest you use a Sponsored Like Story. This will advertise your Page to friends of your current fans and give social proof in the ad by showcasing that the user's friend likes your Page.
Sponsored Like Stories can be a bit cheaper to run, but you won't have any ad copy to help convert people into fans. Hopefully seeing that their friend likes you is a sufficiently compelling reason.
Your Sponsored Like Story will be targeting the friends of your fans, but you can also use the regular Facebook targeting features to narrow the audience to your perfect demographic.
It's easy to create your ad and limit your budget so you know how well it works before spending an arm and a leg.
#10: Add a Like Box to Your Website
In the Business Pages I have seen, a Like Box is one of the largest sources of likes for the Page if the website gets good traffic. It's very easy to add a Like Box—just go to the Facebook Developers site, add the URL of your Facebook Page, configure the settings for how you want your Like Box to appear and click Get Code.
You will now have a choice among HTML5, XFBML, iFrame or URL. For most WordPress sites, you can choose HTML5, XFBML or iFrame for your code. But your WordPress theme may affect your choice. In this case, the easiest thing to do is to paste the code into a text widget on your sidebar.
Finally: Watch what is working.
Know where your likes are coming from and do more of that. Do some tracking by using link shorteners such as bitly to drive traffic to your Facebook Page and see how many clicks you get.
Dive into your Facebook Insights and click on the likes link to see your sources of likes. Many of these you can't control, but at least you can be informed about your statistics and know what is currently working for you.
How about you? What are you finding to be a good way to get new likes for your page? Let us know in the comments section below.

Here are three of the season's brightest and cleanest gifts for a greener holiday celebration.
Everything you need to know about avoiding problems when you build or remodel your own house - learn...
Build your own wood-fired earth oven for baking fluffier, more flavorful bread and other baked delig...
If you begin tomorrow, you can be soaking in fresh, 103-degree water by the evening.
You can let the sun heat your noontime meal using a briefcase solar cooker . . . while you go about your work or play. (See the briefcase solar cooker diagram in the image gallery.)
Brown bagging it at lunchtime is a great way to save your pennies . . . but the monotony of eating the same old salami every midday can eventually take its toll on your taste buds. If you'd like to broaden your menu, yet still relish the flavor—and price—of a variety of home-prepared lunches, this inch vest-pocket inch solar cooker might be the perfect solution!
Though sun-powered ovens are certainly nothing new, Dennis Burkholder's compact model (it's about the size of a briefcase) is unusually convenient to carry and use. It's large enough to heat four sandwiches, a pair of TV dinners, or a shallow casserole, but small enough to be built quickly and inexpensively, without concern over insulation or fancy reflective surfaces. Furthermore, it's also a lunch box, since the handle and latch fasteners make it portable.
If you study the photo and illustration, you'll see that the briefcase cooker is simply a container with an adjustable hinged lid that incorporates a mirrored inner surface. When that reflective panel is angled correctly, the sun's rays bounce off it and are directed onto a square sheet of single-strength glass set into a groove at the upper edge of the box. Just below that glazing, a second mirror—this one reversed so its black rear surface is exposed—is similarly mounted to act as an absorber. Finally, a third reflector is fixed, shiny side up, about 1-1/2 inch below the absorber plate and is protected on its lower face by a sheet of 1/4 inch hardboard, which serves as the bottom of the box. The front side of the frame is hinged, latched, and sealed with felt to provide a handy access door.
To make your own portable solar oven, you'll need a strip of 1 by 4 no less than 49 inches long, two pieces of 1/4 inch hardboard measuring 12-3/4 inches by 13-1/4 inches, three 12 inch by 12 inch mirrored wall tiles, a sheet of glass with the same dimensions, a 1 inch by 12 inch continuous hinge, a 1-11/16 inch by 2-1/2 inch butt hinge, a 1-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch draw pull catch, a 5/8 inch by 5 inch friction lid support, a 5 inch drawer pull, four No. 8 by 1-1/4 inch flathead wood screws, about two dozen 18 gauge wire brads, and a 3 inch by 12-1/2 inch piece of felt.
Start by ripping a 1/2 inch strip off one edge of your 1 by 4 with a table saw, then cut a 1/8 inch by 3/8 inch dado into the 1/2 inch face of that piece. Trim a 36-1/4 inch section from the 3 inch -wide leftover board, and cut three more equally sized grooves into it, spacing them so the end kerfs are 1/4 inch from the edges and the middle channel is 1-1/2 inches from one of those. (If you're partial to casseroles, hoagies, or deep-dish meals, you can increase this distance to 2 inches.)
Next, cut the triple-dadoed board into one 12-3/4 inch and two 11-3/4 inch pieces, then butt the two shorter walls against the longer one—with the grooves aligned—and fasten them together with countersunk flathead wood screws, making sure not to penetrate the dadoes. Tack the open-sided frame to one of the hardboard pieces so the rear surface is flush with the panel edge, again taking care with the placement of the fasteners. Finish the frame by gluing the felt to the ungrooved 3 inch by 12-3/4 inch board and attaching it to the front of the box with the butt hinge and the draw pull catch (you may need to trim the strike so it fits on the door edge).
To make the lid, cut the 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch by 49 inch grooved strip into an 11-3/4 inch, a 12-3/4 inch, and two 12-1/4 inch pieces, then set a mirror tile into the strips' sockets and tack the other hardboard panel over the perimeter, opposite the reflector, to secure it, checking to see that this cover overhangs the shortest strip by 1/4 inch
Finish up by fastening the continuous hinge to the rear of the frame and the longest lid perimeter strip, and attaching the friction lid support to one side of the box and the handle to the rear. Slip the surface glass and the two remaining mirror tiles into their respective slots as described earlier, and you'll soon be cooking.
Strictly speaking, this solar cooker wasn't designed as an oven, meaning that it won't achieve temperatures much over 230 degrees Fahrenheit. But the slow, even heat that it does provide makes it ideal for warming precooked dishes, grilling sandwiches, and cooking things like hot dogs and prepared pot pies, as long as the lid is aimed properly and the box is reoriented every hour or so to keep up with the moving sun.
Naturally, the degree of success you have with your warmer will depend upon the locale, the ambient temperature, and the cloud cover. But to give you a sampling of our experiences, we brought an 8-3/4-ounce turkey TV dinner from a hard freeze to a simmer in just shy of four hours on a clear, windy, 50 degrees Fahrenheit morning, and made a melted cheese sandwich in about 15 minutes on a mild, partly cloudy day!

Patrick-Murray Administration Celebrates Renovation of Halifax Boat Access Area
Boat ramp and docks provide boaters and anglers with improved access to Monponsett Pond
The $200,000 project, led by DFG's Office of Fishing and Boating Access, involved the complete reconstruction of the boat ramp and parking lot, drainage improvements, and the addition of floating docks. The widened ramp and addition of a float system greatly improves the functionality and safety of the system for boaters at this popular site.
"This is largest inland boat access project this year, providing much improved access to Monponsett Pond, which has excellent fishing for large-mouth bass, white perch, yellow perch, chain pickerel, bluegill and other species," said Commissioner Griffin. "I would like to thank the town of Halifax for the great job that they do in managing this popular site, and the anglers and boaters here today who support the access program."
The site is located on a causeway between West and East Monponsett Ponds on Monponsett Street (Route 58) in Halifax. The facility provides direct access to the 282-acre West Monponsett Pond; small boats can also access the 246-acre East Pond underneath Route 58 through a low culvert. The facility provides parking space for 21 vehicles with trailers, nine standard auto spaces, and two handicapped accessible parking spaces. The ponds provide high quality fishing, as evidenced by the four bass tournaments hosted by fishing clubs there this summer and fall.
The DFG's Office of Fishing and Boating Access completed 17 fishing and boating access projects valued at just more than $1 million around the Commonwealth in fiscal year 2010. DFG oversees public boat access sites, shore fishing areas and sport fishing piers open to the public at more than 275 inland and coastal locations throughout Massachusetts. Funding for these projects comes from federal sources and from the environmental bond signed by Governor Patrick in 2008.
DFG is responsible for promoting the enjoyment and conservation of the Commonwealth's natural resources. DFG carries out this mission through land preservation and wildlife habitat management, management of inland and marine fish and game species, and enforcement of the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act. DFG promotes enjoyment of the Massachusetts environment through outdoor skills workshops, fishing festivals and other educational programs, and by enhancing access to the Commonwealth's lakes and ponds.

Cole Valley, San Francisco
San Francisco
Concierge.com's insider take:
A stroll in Cole Valley, to the south of the Upper Haight, is a pleasant way to escape that area's crowds. Admire the Victorians on Ashbury Street, or go up Shrader Street, passing the "Angel of Hope" in front of #1591, carved from a cypress trunk after the tree fell in a 1997 storm. Turn left on Belgrave Street to enjoy the glorious vista from Tank Hill.

I hope you are a well respected linguist that specialises in Chinese, or at least one that is so knowledgeable in the subject that others come to you for advice and inspiration. Otherwise, this article is pretty much trash and even if what I have proposed above is true, this is nothing more than an opinion piece, since linguistics are rarely so clear-cut.
The difference between Cantonese and Mandarin as an example for these two "dialects" being different languages is facetious.
Within English "dialects" we often have different uses of grammar to express a single sentence, think of the difference between Cockney English and Standard English for example, and if you were fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, you can find that most sentences differ only in the use of words: like "not" being "bu" in Mandarin and "ng" in Cantonese for example and that if you were to replace the words appropriately, the grammar remains the same.
Another point that is frequently used to make the case for Chinese "languages" is their varying pronunciations for the same words that is essentially non-sequential if considered in the light of Chinese (language) history, with agreement in that most major dialect branches share a common heritage (in pronunciation) from older forms of spoken Chinese, such as Middle Chinese.
This can easily be shown in Cantonese and Mandarin, were "ng" opening sounds in Cantonese tend to be "y" sounds in Mandarin, with the word "I" being a noted exception: "ng" sounds that are words in Cantonese tend to become "wu" sounds in Mandarin.
And in variations of Cantonese that continue to contain "older" pronunciations, such as "ny" sounds in human; yan in standard Cantonese, but nyan in variations. The "ny" opening sound becomes a "r" opening sound in Mandarin, hence "ren" for human.
Mandarin has dropped all hard ending sounds that still exist in Cantonese and thus the word used for not in Mandarin is "bat" in Cantonese, but "bu" in Mandarin.
This is one of the major differences that render Mandarin and Cantonese mutually un-intelligible.
The acknowledgement that this is more of a case of "advanced accents" rather than several languages with a common influence from an older language is the reason why they are labelled "dialects" and until the Chinese themselves wish to quash this "ideal", all I see is foreign arrogance in trying to decide the classification of Chinese in place of the Chinese themselves.

The inflation squeeze tightens
Prices spiked 4.1 percent last year, the highest increase in 17 years.
Dennis Cook/AP
New York
Inflation is starting to take its toll on the economy.
Almost anyone who drives knows it costs more to tank up than a year ago. Add in higher prices at the grocery store or the specialty-food shop, and consumers are beginning to feel the impact on their wallets. Higher food and energy costs are the main reasons that inflation last year was at its highest level in 17 years – a galloping 4.1 percent as measured by the consumer price index.
"The middle class is getting squeezed," says Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James & Associates in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The rising cost of living is a big reason that holiday sales were disappointing, economists say. Consumers, faced with lower wages and higher prices, are shopping less. Disposable income is shrinking. Last year, wages fell 0.9 percent after adjusting for inflation, says Mr. Brown.
"Real purchasing power is being constrained," he says.
On Wednesday, the extent of this economic squeeze became more apparent when the government reported the December CPI as well as the results for the full year. For December, inflation rose 0.3 percent, down from 0.8 percent in November. But, over the past three months, inflation has grown at a 2.7 percent annual rate.
"These numbers clearly reveal disturbingly high levels of inflation, due mainly to a surge in energy prices in the second half," says Richard DeKaser, chief economist at National City Corp. in Cleveland. "Even removing food and energy, the level is clearly at the high level of the Federal Reserve's comfort zone."

quote:You must know this isn't true. Literally hundreds of thousands of cops and you think most of them are bad?
quote: I'm saying a cop shouldn't go down to the suspects' level and get into a mud slinging contest.
quote:What, specifically, am I saying that's so out of touch?
quote:What makes you think I've had any? Are people so simple minded to believe that only personal experiences can dictate opinion? I've never been to war, but I have opinions on that. I've never worked at the Federal Reserve, but I have opinions on that.
quote:B/c of the power (both real and perceived) they hold, cops should be held to a higher standard of behavior than most other professions.
quote:I dont know who is dumber in that video. The cop or the kid.
quote:2. nicely ask you to surrender
quote:Again, learn the law. THey do not have to explain shite to you to enter your room.
quote:but the kid agreed that school officials could enter his room at any time with no other stipulations. Meaning they don't have to even have a reason, let alone give the kid one.
quote: And they are. Do you have an internal affairs division at your company that reviews any complaints filed by consumers against you? Did you undergo a background invetigation and polygraph in order to be hired? Did you know that one of the tenants of every police academy is integrity and if one violates it by lying or not being honest at any time they are immediately expelled? I truly don't see what more can be done.
quote:Man, that student is a fricking prick. Wish they would have tased him.
quote:Have you ever been in combat or any life or death situation involving an aggressive opponent in your life? Loud verbal commands and physical posturing is grenerally the only thing that will work short of the use of physical force if you are about to be attacked or shot at. This is true even in the animal world exclusive of humans.
quote:People tend to naturally comply when spoken to in an authoritative manner. WHich like it or not is usually the fastest way to resolve a situation. If you're a suspect and I'm the cop, and you are being a douche. I essentially have three options 1. just walk away - and that's not really an option 2. nicely ask you to surrender 3. in an authoritative voice ORDER you to surrender. I'm sorry man, but you are beyond retarded if you don't understand that option 3 is going to be the quickest resolution 99 out of 100 times.
quote:Now that doesn't mean violate anyone's rights, but some of you seem to think you have a right to not have cops be mean to you. There is no such right.
quote:Probably he shotgun-blast approach you're taking against all cops in general instead of examining this specific case on its merits. People don't develop stereotypes in a vacuum, generally, so it's reasonable to assume that there's some reason you have such strong opinions on the matter. And don't get me wrong, I have some serious problems with the way many police agencies operate: dressing like military personnel, removing identification from their regular patrol vehicles, approaching policing like it was still the 1950s and they're Sgt. Joe Friday, etc., but I don't make overly-general, exceptionally broad statements about the entire profession.
quote:Then the policy of every police force in the country, when arresting someone for failure to, say, pay child support, is to come guns drawn?
quote:2. To provide routine inspections to ensure that residents are following health, fire, and safety regulations

My experience is that whatever the reason for the encounter, cops often have a tendency to treat you as sub-human. Again, given the nature of police work, that's understandable in extreme situations but not otherwise.

Bali bombers looming execution to test Indonesia
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's ability to keep a lid on militant Islam is likely to be put to the test soon with the long-awaited execution of the Bali bombers, who killed 202 people in 2002 when they blew up two clubs on the resort island.
The three bombers, Amrozi, Mukhlas, and Imam Samudra, have become media celebrities during their years on death row.
Their execution by firing squad could turn them into martyrs in the eyes of hardline Islamic groups, who represent a small but vocal minority in officially secular, but predominantly Muslim Indonesia.
Hundreds, even thousands, of the Bali bombers' supporters are expected to escort the bodies of the three men as they leave the prison grounds and are driven to their home towns for burial.
To avoid the risk of clashes between followers and the police, the authorities may send the bodies home by helicopter instead.
"With hundreds of supporters and emotions running high, you could see mobs throwing bricks at police or police posts, or other symbols of government," said Sidney Jones, a Jakarta-based security expert at International Crisis Group.
The Bali bomb blasts devastated the resort island's tourist industry and proved a wake-up call for Indonesia, alerting it to the threat from Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a militant Islamic group set on creating a caliphate in Southeast Asia.
JI plotted and carried out several other attacks in the region, bombing the Australian embassy and JW Marriott hotel in Jakarta, and beach restaurants in Bali. Western allies suddenly saw Indonesia as a second front in the war on terror.
But Jakarta responded swiftly. It forged security links with Australia and the United States, received help with the use of sophisticated technology and surveillance techniques, and, more controversially, engaged with members of the militant groups.
Indonesia's main counter-terrorism agency, Detachment 88, caused an uproar among Australians when it invited former JI members to a barbecue. But its methods, including the use of former militants to try to "turn" or "de-radicalise" extremists, have worked.
Altogether, officials say 450 militants have been arrested, of which more than 300 have been tried, ensuring that Southeast Asia's biggest economy has not experienced a major attack since 2005.
Still, that does not mean the threat is over. Some JI leaders, including Noordin Mohammad Top, remain free, while some hardline groups are growing more militant.
"As long as Noordin is still at large, Indonesia must always be on alert, because Noordin once said his intention was to attack every year as long as he lives," said Nasir Abas, a former JI commander who is related by marriage to one of the Bali bombers and who now helps the Indonesian police.
As recently as Tuesday, police said they had foiled a plot to blow up an oil storage facility in Jakarta, following raids on houses in Jakarta and Bogor, West Java.
While JI has turned its focus from Western to domestic targets in Southeast Asia, such as government agencies and police, some splinter groups could still pose a threat to foreign interests in Indonesia, Jones said, despite their lack of expertise and experience.
The overwhelming majority of Indonesians are moderate and do not support violence by militants.
In a recent survey by Setara Institute, 95 percent of those polled said they disagreed with organisations that used violence on behalf of religion, while 3 percent supported such action.
But the hardline minority can still wield considerable influence, through protests and political pressure.
Counter-terrorism officials say their job is made harder by the fact that their action is often portrayed as "anti-Islam" in the world's most-populous Muslim nation.
"In Indonesia, support for militant groups is strong because they are seen as fighting for Islam," said Ansyaad Mbai, a senior official in the coordinating ministry for political, legal, and security affairs, in contrast to Malaysia and Singapore where there is little public sympathy for militants.
These militants "will avenge their permanent enemy, the secular", said Mbai. "Even the government is considered evil, infidel."

I have a business meeting this evening and my morning meeting went long but I intended to brew today. Can I mash now, mash out and collect the wort before leaving for the meeting, and leave the wort on the stovetop for a couple of hours before I can get back home to begin the boil?
I wouldn't sweat a couple of hours.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)
I don't see a problem either. Pre boil is forgiving since you will kill anything that wants to move into the wort when you boil it.
Let's see if I keep this updated! On tap Black Butte clone In secondary Pumpkin ale In primary Honey wit Up next.. Firestone Union Jack clone
I would keep the stove on medium-low, just so it stays hot and uninhabitable, but either way O bet you'll be fine.
Don't worry about it. Don't keep it on the stove if you don't want to. I have left wort for a week+ in kegs before boiling it. In fact, that batch won two medals.
I always mash and collect the runnings at night. I then boil in the morning and have never had a problem. My wort sits in the covered kettle on the floor and cools overnight for 8 hours or more.
I myself would rather risk the beer than to leave the stove on while I'm out of the house for hours. Just saying.
Throw some hops in the kettle. For a preservative. Also for FWH. TURNED out beautifully the time I accidentally did thhat.
I frequently leave my wort in the kettle (covered) on the counter for 2-3 hours while we have dinner and put the kids to bed, then start the boil. It's usually still hot enough that it's uncomfortable to touch when I get back to it, so it's not even a particularly welcoming environment for most of the lag period. Plus, the mash is hot and long enough to pretty well sanitize the wort at the start of the process. It's going to take a while for something to find its way in and get a foothold, even if the wort does enter the temperature danger zone. (I guess this is more true for BIAB systems where there's very little contact between wort and surfaces that haven't been heated.)

Col. Harry Riley (ret) Discusses American Spring
in Politics
Col. Harry Riley Will Discuss Operation American Spring And The Current State Of The Nation. Operation American Spring California Leader Pastor Sylvestor Bland Will Join The Discussion.
Col. Harry Riley, Operation American Spring
Col. Harry Riley, organizer of the Operation American Spring rally in Washington, D.C., May 16, calls in to discuss the event and its call for the resignations of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Boehner and other elected leaders. Col. Riley has laid out the case for impeachment of Obama and a number of grounds. Other topics to be discussed include the incident at Bundy ranch, the IRS and Benghazi scandals, NSA spying, Obamacare and eminent domain. Listeners who would like to talk with Col. Riley can call during the live broadcast at 646.478.5135.
Col. Harry Riley Speaks About Operation American Springs Event
Col. Harry Riley Speaks to Americans Talk Show Along With Deborah Howard
Operation American Spring has sprung. The momentum has been building, and our forces growing, for over eight months.
The cries of millions of Patriots coalesce, in this coalition of Constitutionalists. We come with courage of conviction, with peace in our hearts. We are determined to mass.
We will make our voices heard! We are armed only with our prayers. Our determination to rescue the government of the United States of America from the amoral enemies of Liberty is without bound. We must not fail!
We come to the seat of power to speak truth. America has fallen away from the founding principles of freedom that once made her prosperous and great. We have become a nation not of liberty and law, but of elitist intimidation and crony corruption. Merit and hard work mean nothing anymore.
No longer are American citizens free to exercise their God-given rights without interference from government.
We come not as an attacking army of invaders, but in the bold vision of OAS founder Col. Harry Riley, as a massive 'human petition', demanding our elected Representatives begin the long-overdue task of cleansing our government of corrupt and criminal elements who have usurped their proper role as servants, and seek to rule, instead.
Colonel Harry Riley, Founder of "Operation American Spring" My Guest Tonight
U.S. Army Col. Harry G. Riley, retired, who runs the Patriots for America website, and founder of the "Operation American Spring" event is my guest tonight. Colonel Riley has been in the news lately for the creation of an event, modeled on the 33 million Egyptians who stood up to their government and removed the Muslim Brotherhood officials from office, that hopes to bring possibly millions of Constitutional Patriots to the District of Columbia to protest the erosion and escalating disregard for our constitutional rights under the current, and former administrations, and it is his desire to see a good many of the current administration removed from office immediatly.
Col. Riley hopes for at least a million of the protesters to make a permanent camp in D.C. until the changes protestors are requesting are made.
We will get the details of the planned event, what Col. Riley hopes to accomplish with this event and how this will be different than other "million person marches", or the "occupy" movements from the last few years.
Also, while the event is planned as a peaceful and non violent movement, there has been talk of violence from other groups not associated with Operation American Spring who may be attending the event as well, and we will ask Col. Riley what effect that is having on the event.
Join us tonight live, 7:00PM Central Time and be sure to call in with any questions or comments you may have. The call in number is 347-308-8790
Hope to see you there!

Defending The Republic: Operation American Spring with Col. Harry Riley, Ret.
This show is dedicated to Lt. Col. Thomas Knowlton
In 1776 George Washington picked Thomas Knowlton to command the Continental Army's first intelligence unit, known as "Knowlton's Rangers." Intelligence failure during the battle of Long Island convinced Washington that he needed an elite detachment dedicated to reconnaissance that reported directly to him. Knowlton, who had served in a similar unit during the French and Indian War, led 130 men and 20 officers-all hand-picked volunteers-on a variety of secret missions that were too dangerous for regular troops to conduct. The date 1776 on the seal of the Army's intelligence service today refers to the formation of Knowlton's Rangers.
Defending the Republic with Annie "The Radio Chick" and "Cool" Mike is an ongoing discussion of recent events, issues and the upcoming elections.
Guest: Lt. Col. Harry Riley:

Literary Names
I'm a writer, and I love to read. I decided semi-recently that some names deserve a mention. And I want to do that via boys' middle names.
1. Hugo (Victor Hugo- I'm not really a fan of Victor. I think it's the tough sounds of the "C" & "R" that turn me off.)
2. Emerson (Ralph Waldo Emerson- Not into Ralph or Waldo. lol)
3. Henry (Henry David Thoreau & Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
What do you think of Henry vs. Thoreau? I feel like Thoreau is a little too much, but I'm not totally opposed to it. I think David is too common to really make this specific connection.
Also, when I searched for Thoreau, Walden came up too. I hadn't thought of that. Does Walden sound too...geeky? It makes me think of Walter, a name that I don't really like. It's only a mn, but would it be a name that a kid would be embarrassed by? Would any of these be embarrassing for a kid to admit to?
Thanks for your input!Nicole

Great namesakes, especially the two Henry's. Here's the thing. If you want people to know you've named your kid after one of these fellows, you can't go with Henry. I'd choose Thoreau because it's amazingly cool, and he's my favourite of the bunch. I also really like Walden, that's his most famous piece of work and I do like the name very much.
From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow you could also get Kavanagh, which I quite like. I'm not very familiar with Emerson.
I like Victor Hugo, both his names as well. Hugo is a lovely name, I've always been very fond of it.[FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

I know someone with a son named Walden. I think it's unique but not too "out there," especially for a middle name.

TCM Johnny Weissmuller TARZAN DVD Collections: Vol 1 & Vol 2 (April 5)
Welcome to the Jungle!
Based on the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs...
Welcome to the Jungle!
Based on the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs...
On April 5, as part of the ongoing popular series of Turner Classic Movies DVDs, Warner Brothers will release 8 classic TARZAN films that star Johnny Weissmuller, the most popular actor who ever played the title role in motion pictures. Most of the films include Maureen O'Sullivan in her famous role of Jane.
TCM Greatest Classic Films: Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan, Volume 1 -and- TCM Greatest Classic Films: Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan, Volume 2 -- Each contain two DVD discs, with a suggested retail price of $27.92 per set.
Contents of Volume One:
Contents of Volume Two:
(Each film's Synopsis further below)
Johnny Weissmuller (June 2, 1904 – January 20, 1984) was an Austro-Hungarian-born American swimmer and actor. Weissmuller was one of the world's best swimmers in the 1920s, winning five Olympic gold medals and one bronze medal. He won fifty-two US National Championships and set sixty-seven world records. After his swimming career, he became the sixth actor to portray Tarzan in films, a role he played in twelve motion pictures. Dozens of other actors have also played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known. His character's distinctive, ululating Tarzan yell is still often used in films.
The most popular series of Tarzan films began with Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), starring Johnny Weissmüller and Maureen O'Sullivan. Weissmüller, the son of ethnic-German immigrants from Romania, was already well-known as a five-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming. He became the most famous and longest-lasting screen Tarzan, starring as the Ape Man in a total of twelve films, through 1948, the first six with MGM and the last six with RKO.
The beauteous and scantily-clad O'Sullivan was a major factor in the early popularity of the series. The role of Jane in the films was reduced after O'Sullivan departed in 1942 following the sixth film in the series (and the last for MGM), Tarzan's New York Adventure. Two Jane-less films followed before Brenda Joyce took over the role for the last four Weissmüller Tarzan films.
Starting afresh with an extremely free adaptation of Tarzan of the Apes which threw out everything that had gone before, the Weissmüller series was a boon to the franchise if not to the character. In contrast to the articulate nobleman of Burroughs's novels, Weissmuller's Tarzan was a natural hero with a limited vocabulary. The ersatz pidgin of his dialogue has often been mocked as "Me Tarzan, you Jane," although that particular line was never spoken in any of the films.
Tarzan and Jane were married in the novels, but the relationship was never specified in the Weissmuller films, even though they shared a jungle treehouse and (particularly in the second film of the series, Tarzan and His Mate) a strong sexual chemistry. In keeping with production code requirements, their son "Boy" was found and adopted rather than born to Jane. Weissmüller's yodel-like "Tarzan yell" became so associated with the character that it was sometimes dubbed into later films featuring different actors. Cheeta the chimpanzee provided comic relief through the series.
With the exception of The New Adventures of Tarzan, which was partially filmed in Guatemala, the Tarzan movies of this period were mostly filmed on Hollywood sound stages, with stock jungle and wildlife footage edited into the final product.
Trivia: TARZAN AND HIS MATE (1934)
In 2003, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
For an infamous swimming scene in this pre-code film, alternate footage was shot of Jane in various stages of dress, ranging from totally nude to fully covered. According to film historian Rudy Behlmer: "From all evidence, three versions of the sequence eventually went out to separate territories during the film's initial release. One with Jane clothed in her jungle loin cloth outfit, one with her topless, and one with her in the nude."
Maureen O'Sullivan did not play the naked Jane in the alternate footage; she was doubled by Olympic swimmer Josephine McKim, who competed in the 1928 games with Johnny Weissmuller. A version with alternate footage with Jane swimming nude or topless was restored in 1986 by Turner Entertainment for its video release (included in this set).
Like other Tarzan/Weissmuller films, the elephants were Indian and not African. Large ears and tusks were fitted onto the animals in an attempt to make them look authentic.
Tarzan rides a rhinoceros in one scene - a first for film. The rhino, Mary, was imported from the Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany. Weismuller did the scene himself, sustaining only minor scrapes to sensitive places from Mary's rough hide.
Welcome to the Jungle!
Based on the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs...
TARZAN THE APE MAN (1932) The first teaming of Johnny Weissmuller as Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jungle Lord and Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane sets a high adventure standard and includes an exciting sequence of elephants rescuing Tarzan and Jane from pygmy captors.
TARZAN ESCAPES (1936) A vile bwana has Tarzan caged and ready to ship to England for display as a sideshow freak. Can steel bars hold the ape man? Catch fascinating glimpses of Tarzan and Jane's jungle domesticity, including their dazzling treehouse.
TARZAN AND HIS MATE (1934) This second Weissmuller/O'Sullivan film includes footage edited shortly after the movie's original release, including a playful skinny-dip sequence. Tarzan also subdues a rhinoceros, wrestles a crocodile and rescues Jane as she's besieged by lions and warriors near a sacred elephant burial ground.
TARZAN FINDS A SON! (1939) There's a new cry in the jungle – the cry of an infant. A baby that survived a plane crash is adopted by Tarzan and Jane. John Sheffield debuts as Boy and outside intruders trigger a family rift igniting a crisis of kidnap, rescue and reunion.
TARZAN'S SECRET TREASURE (1941) A gold discovery endangers the Jungle Lord's family. Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan and John Sheffield star. Reginald Owen, Barry Fitzgerald, Tom Conway and Philip Dorn play interlopers who stir up trouble.
TARZAN'S NEW YORK ADVENTURE (1942) "Stone jungle," Tarzan says when he sees New York City. But the Lord of the Apes can master any jungle – especially when determined to find son Boy, kidnapped by unscrupulous circus operators.
TARZAN AND THE AMAZONS (1945) Tarzan welcomes home Jane (Brenda Joyce) from a family visit to England and then rushes to the aid a secluded female tribe put in jeopardy after Boy leads a party of archaeologists to their hidden valley.
TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN (1946) A murderous tribe that wears the disguise and claws of leopards attacks a visiting caravan and menaces Jane and Boy. Could the cult's beautiful and calculating queen (Acquanetta) outmatch the strength and fury of Tarzan?

Customer Reviews Could be soooo much betterNow I remember why i deleted this app the first time. I expect a much better app from such a highly rated news cast. First, turn off the ad at the top of the screen. Second, allow user to set which notifications received for weather, news, sports, etc. I only want weather alerts. I don`t need, nor want, every little thing that happens to pop up as a news alert ten times a day. At least, allow me to turn that off and still get weather alerts. I am deleting app again.

The law throws more than a few bones the way of married couples, and nowhere is this in greater evidence than in how property rights and taxes are treated. When one member of a legally married couple dies, the surviving partner is protected in ways designed to increase the odds that he or she will be able to hang on to the deceased partner's estate.
LGBT couples lose out on these rights unless they sign a will and/or trust that leaves all their belongings to their surviving spouse. Even if they take these smart steps, they must pay inheritance and estate taxes that legally married couples don't have to pay.
