"Israeli experts have calculated in detail exactly how many calories, literally, Gazans need to survive, and if you look at the sanctions that they impose, they're grotesque," Chomsky says....August 11, 2014 | Story
- Hideous. Sadistic. Vicious. Murderous. That is how Noam Chomsky describes Israel's 29-day offensive in Gaza that killed nearly 1,900 people and left almost 10,000 people injured. Chomsky has written extensively about the Israel/Palestine conflict for decades. After Israel's Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, Chomsky co-authored the book "Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War Against the Palestinians" with...August 07, 2014 | Story

Among Palestinians, Sharon was one of the most reviled political figures in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is seen as father of the settlement movement and an...January 13, 2014 | Story
- We look at one of the most shocking incidents in the career of the late former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon: the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Up to 2,000 Palestinians died on Sept. 16-17, 1982, when the Israeli military allowed a Christian militia to attack the camp. Then-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon was forced to resign after a special Israeli investigative panel declared him to be "personally responsible" for the massacre....January 13, 2014 | Story
Rashid Khalidi & Noam Chomsky: For Peace Today, US Must End Support for Sharon's Expansionist LegacyUpon the death of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, we look at how his legacy of separating Gaza from the West Bank and building a "separation wall" to seal off Israeli settlements has impacted the peace process in the Middle East today. We speak with Noam Chomsky, world-renowned political dissident, linguist, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said...January 13, 2014 | Story

- Noam Chomsky, the world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author, weighs in on today's 12th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks and how the civil war in Syria appears destined to permanently break the country apart. "[9/11] was very significant, a major terrorist act, thousands of people killed," Chomsky says. "It's the first time since the War of 1812 that U.S. territory had been attacked.

MILAN -- Eni, Italy's biggest energy company by market value, said on Wednesday its minority venture in Venezuela started production from the vast Junin-5 heavy oil field.
In a statement, Eni said the PetroJunin venture--in which it has a 40% stake and Venezuela's state-owned company PDVSA the remaining 60%--began production nine months ahead of schedule.
The two companies plan to increase production to about 15,000 bopd by the end of the year, rising to 75,000 bopd by early 2015, through the drilling of about 180 wells.
The development of Phase 2 will bring daily output to 240,000 bbl, by the end of 2018, it added.

Dr.Bhatt would not agree to spend his time on useless product.He is principal investigator of Reduce-IT study. He is a top Cardiologist in USA. Read his profile.
When Lipitor came out-Merck people did not think much of it in 1996.
Around Dec.1997 or early 1998--Merck was shocked when Zocor sales dropped.
Lipitor also conducted a study similar to Reduce-It--which showed superiority of Lipitor and Sales doubled.
Same thing happened with Crestor--Jupitor study.
You think he did it for free? mtdsus you are a retard, pure and simple.

I just came home from a good massage. My shoulders and back have been aching and the massage was a great relief for me. This is one holistic treatment I would recommend if you are feeling tired and worn out.
Massage is a fantastic natural antidote for relieving stress. There are various massage oils for different treatment and I would recommend using aromatherapy essential oils over artificial ones. Nature always presents the best cure. In the past, natural herbs were used as an ailment to curb the disease and other problems.
When properly used, aromatherapy oils can relax and cure various joints with the help of an experience therapist. Aromatherapy massage oil can be put to diverse uses namely relaxation, romance, stress reliever, children's massage and many more depending on your aspirations and needs. Just a simple massage with aromatherapy massage oil works as a helpful healing process, where disease or injury has occurred in muscles, connective tissues, bones or any other part of the body.
You can choose the most appropriate massage oil that suits your needs and aspirations the best. If you find it difficult to decide which aromatherapy massage oil is appropriate for you, always check with your natural health expert. My aunt used to tell me that she loved to use a dab of lavender oil near her exam table when she was feeling stressed.
When buying essential oils, make sure they are 100% pure and natural. You can visit natural health stores to experience the various scents of the oils or if you are already familiar, online shopping may be the next option. You can browse through various sites selling access wide range of aromatherapy massage oil. They also give you the benefit of reasonable low prices on bulk purchase of aromatherapy massage oil.

By Allison Dunne

This decision from the county's Human Rights Commission cites the college's connection to the Roman Catholic Church as the reason. More from WAMC's Hudson Valley Bureau Chief Allison Dunne.

England Rugby
England agony as they hammer France but miss out on title
Steve James Rugby union has probably never had a day like this, with three successive magnificent matches, and Twickenham has probably never seen a game quite like this.
This is the worst France team ever
Austin Healey This is one of the worst French teams that I have ever seen. Ever. Watching them play last week against Italy reminded me of those silent disco nights when everyone is listening to music through headphones.
World Cup will break records: rugby chief
A record number of tickets will be sold for this year's rugby union World Cup in England, the head of the sport's ruling body says.
France a different prospect: Lancaster
England have to recalibrate for a "completely different challenge" from France after digesting the lessons from the victory over Scotland that gave them a real chance of winning the Six Nations title, coach Stuart Lancaster said.
Error-riddled England beat Scots
Steve James England put themselves back in the mix for the Six Nations title after beating Scotland 25-13 at Twickenham.
Rugby's newest 15-year-old sensation
Eryk Bagshaw Tyrese Johnson-Fisher is quick, really quick - 100 metres in just over 10 seconds quick.
Ireland beat England to go top in Six Nations
Ireland take a major step towards retaining their Six Nations title with a pulsating win in Dublin.
Burgess remains an outside chance for Cup
With England set to meet Ireland in the Six Nations on Sunday, Lancaster remains upbeat over his progress but insists Burgess pulling on the England jersey during the World Cup starting in September might be a stretch.
I will not blow it again: Danny Cipriani
Mick Cleary Precious talent often thinks that it has life cracked, that great things can be achieved on instinct alone and that there is nothing much wrong with rampant ego.
Burgess still flying the flag for Rabbitohs as he steps up World Cup bid
Brad Walter As he attempts to make a new career in English rugby union, Sam Burgess is still recognised for his feats with South Sydney.
This was no run-of-the-mill concussion
Paul Hayward There is no reason to hasten fullback's return to action after a blow which was horrific to see, writes Paul Hayward.
Joseph praised as England pile on the tries
Gary Fitzgerald Centre Jonathan Joseph grabbed a brace of tries as England gained their second win in the Six Nations Championship and swept aside a brave Italian side 47-17 with a dominant second half display at Twickenham.
Welsh scars may last for years
Steve James Hosts' approach felt too contrived after all the pre-match nonsense, writes Steve James
England fight back to beat Wales in Six Nations thriller
England bagged early World Cup bragging rights by clawing back a 10-point deficit to claim a thrilling 21-16 victory over Wales in the opening match of the Six Nations on Friday.
Cipriani and Easter in squad to face Wales
England have named five-eighth Danny Cipriani in a 25-man squad for the Six Nations opener against Wales in Cardiff on Friday.
Sam Burgess flops for England Saxons
Duncan Bech Sam Burgess made a forgettable representative union debut as England Saxons ground out a worthy victory over the Ireland Wolfhounds in Cork.
England injury crisis might help Sam Burgess
Sam Burgess could see his bid for a place in England's rugby World Cup squad given a boost by the injury crisis engulfing Stuart Lancaster's back division just weeks before the Six Nations starts.
Bad-boy Dylan Hartley faces discipline dressing-down
England's Kiwi-born hooker faces dressing down about poor discipline from coach Stuart Lancaster ahead of Six Nations.
Lancaster could not ignore the maverick Cipriani
Paul Hayward The charge sheet that kept Danny Cipriani out of the England rugby squad is old and yellowed now, so there was no disciplinary justification for extending his Six Nations exile to a seventh year.
England recall Cipriani, Easter for Six Nations
Mick Cleary Mercurial No 10 who last played a Six Nations match seven years ago named in England team.

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with award-winning composer, Omar Thomas, about his new album, 'We Will Know', a monumental work of art that breathes new life into the word "movement". Inspired by the popular civil rights protest song, "We Shall Overcome", Omar has just gifted the (U.S.) LGBT civil rights movement with their very own soundtrack, one which is sure to spark powerful conversations about what it means to exist at the intersection of struggle, triumph, and history, as both black and gay.Read More

Bengals beat Eagles 34-13
Rookie Nick Foles made his fifth straight start for Michael Vick, who just returned to practice this week after sustaining a concussion on Nov. 11. Foles threw for 182 yards, one TD and one interception. Reid said Foles is still the starter.
Down 13-10, the Bengals started their rally with a turnover.
Hall intercepted Foles' deep pass and returned it 44 yards to the Eagles 40. Foles underthrew Jeremy Maclin, who was a few steps behind Hall.
"I feel really good anytime I have one of our receivers vertical on a guy," Foles said. "I just have to get the ball out there and make a better throw."
Green made an acrobatic catch for an 11-yard gain on third-and-9 a few plays before Dalton ran for the score to put the Bengals up 17-13.
Foles, who threw for 381 yards to lead that comeback against the Bucs, hit Riley Cooper on an 11-yard TD pass to cut it to 10-7. Foles connected with Maclin on a 46-yard pass during the drive.
The Eagles then forced their first turnover since Nov. 5 against New Orleans. Brandon Graham sacked Dalton, the ball popped loose and Trent Cole recovered at the Bengals 29.
Just two plays in, Maclin fumbled after a 6-yard catch. Carlos Dunlap recovered and the Bengals started at the Eagles 44. Green-Ellis ran 29 yards on first down and scored a few plays later for a 7-0 lead.
It got uglier for Philadelphia on the next possession. Mat McBriar punted into his own blocker, Daniel Herron picked it up and ran 3 yards to the Eagles 11. But Graham sacked Dalton and Cincinnati settled for Brown's 24-yard field goal that made it 10-0.
The Bengals would get their act together and put a playoff berth in sight.
"We're in control right now of where we end up," Dalton said. "And that's how you want it to be. We have two tough games ahead of us. But I know we will be ready to go."
NOTES: Green-Ellis surpassed 1,000 yards rushing for second time in his career. He did it with New England in 2010. ... The Eagles had a season-high six sacks. They have eight in two games since defensive line coach Jim Washburn was fired, and had 20 in first 12 games. ... Bowles confirmed he interviewed for the coaching vacancy at Temple, his alma mater. ... Eagles RB LeSean McCoy and TE Brent Celek also sat out. Both players also are recovering from concussions. McCoy missed his fourth straight game, but returned to practice this week with Vick.

I was curious why the "Analysis" tool does not indicate when a stalemate would occur. It shows checks ("+" by the move) and it shows mates ("#" by the move), but if a stalemate occurs during the analysis, it does not indicate it.
I am not advocating that it should or should not, and I understand completely that in order to be a better player, one should not rely on the Analysis tool telling you anything of the sort -- a player should know when he's delivered a mate, hash sign notwithstanding! (Further, the analysis tool itself is a bit of a crutch, and not something you have the luxury of in any game except correspondence). Still, it indicates checks and mates already, and the game programming already knows when a stalemate occurs because the game will automatically end in a draw should one occur. What is the logic behind not indicating that to the player using the analysis tool?
PS -- Of course I'm talking about stalemates where no move is possible that does not put the King in check, not stalemates from repeated moves w/ no pawn movement, etc.
I don't think there is a symbol for stalemate, maybe there should be...

Will Rahul Gandhi come to aid of Omar Abdullah?
The row over Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah's decision to withdraw the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) threatens to derail the political ties between the Congress-National Conference and the coalition in the state.
The big question is not whether Omar can keep up his word to remove the Act from certain areas of J&K as announced by him on October 21. Rather, it is whether the Congress will let him continue in the saddle after January next year, by which time he would have completed three years in office.
Omar became chief minister in 2009 because his friendship with Rahul Gandhi, the AICC general secretary. Rahul ensured Omar had a free rein. Unlike in the case of the previous arrangement with the People Democractic Party (PDP), the Congress did not insist on a rotational arrangement of chief minister's post– because Rahul had full confidence in Omar's abilities. A sullen J&K Congress had to accept Rahul's diktat to support Omar without any condition.
But Omar track record in office has left much to be desired. It has emboldened local Congress leaders to raise a banner of revolt against the arrangement.
Omar is naturally surprised by the behaviour of J&K Congress leaders. The idea to lift AFSPA was not his idea alone. Home Minister P Chidambaram, with whom he has had several rounds of discussions, and mooted the proposal as part of a political package to solve the Kashmir tangle.
True, Defence Minister A K Antony and Army chief V K Singh were not warm to the idea because they were not sure J&K would remain peaceful in the months ahead. The AFSPA gives sweeping powers to the Army to conduct operations without any legal question being asked in the event of any death or violence.
What weighed heavily on the minds of Chidambaram and Omar was that local population has been resentful of the Army's sweeping powers under the AFSPA. Often, public outrage over custodial and encounter deaths have forced politicians to scurry for cover.
There's no doubt there is a political angle to Omar's decision. He was beleaguered by one controversy after another slamming his party and wanted to deflect the PDP's campaign against him.
Omar also wanted to silence the local Congress, which wants to install its nominee as chief minister by pressing for a review of the Congress-NC arrangement.
With J&K Congress president Saifuddin Soz criticizing Omar for announcing the withdrawal of AFSPA without any consultation, the chief minister is naturally very upset that his plans can go haywire.
If Omar cannot implement his decision in the next few days, he will cut a sorry figure and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti will not let go the opportunity to taunt and run him down further.
Omar thinks that his decision to limit the AFSPA to only border areas and belts having militant movement should have been welcomed by the Congress when the Home Ministry had no problems.
Of course, the security agencies still think that the Kashmir Valley is volatile and are against the Army being deprived of immunity when it acts against terrorists.
Local Congress leaders say Omar's luck is running out and it is doubtful whether his friendship with Rahul will help him again. They have minced no words in conveying to the Gandhis that Omar is a disaster and that the Congress must rewrite the terms of engagement and endearment with the National Conference now.

Falls in Epileptic and Non-epileptic Seizures During Childhood
At the Mariani Foundation meeting held in Milan, October 1995, highly qualified specialists were invited to assist in understanding of the basic principles of cerebral development and brain function, with specific attention to those structures and mechanisms involved in the phenomenon of falls. Epiliptologists illustrate the different semiologic modalities and clinical conditions in which the fall is an essential symptom. A main part of the book is dedicated to the medical and surgical treatment of syndromes where falls appear in the foreground. This volume has the mission of improving life conditions of children who suffer from drop seizures, by limiting the risks to which they are subjected, and to try and compensate for the psychological and social limitations affecting them.

making it possible to highlight text with different colors (not only yellow)
This would allow more thorough work with the document, such as highlighting by topics or by importance
Mendeley is most satisfying. While flawless, there could be trivial features that could really matter. Adobe Reader for example features selecting a colour for the highlight. Now, I believe 3 or 4 colours should do it, but it really helps with visualising and remembering my take on a a document. Say, I use blue highlight for topics I am going to read more about, yellow for those I need to learn as is, and orange for those I am against and that needs discussion.
Please add a switch highlighter color option. Five colors would do.
I'd like to express my gratitude and appreciation for everything.
it's really useful serice!
my idea is that using more highlights colours insead than one if this possible? for example yellow red , blue
Make it to highlights in three/four colours into in-text.
Yellow for comments
Blue for most relevant quote
Red for important
Document Highlighting
In the desktop mendeley, adding more color highlighters and more text colors would definitely increase the visual appeal and also the differentiation of highlights..
The user could choose the highlight colors in order to be able to "categorize" what he is highlighting while reviewing the paper. Or find a way to classify the highlights.
Using color coded highlighting is a useful way to select text for different purposes. I love that the highlighted text can be copied, but it would be much more powerful if this could be applied to different colors. An option for "copy all [color] highlighted text" would be very useful. I could highlight with multiple colors and be able to copy and paste (or even export) all yellow highlighted text separate from all blue highlighted text, etc. When copying text this way, the page number where each text string appears in the article could be used to separate the selections, as well as serve to easily locate them after pasting or exporting in another place.
would be very very useful, so we can have our own code colour for some references e.g. to read, important for this, important for that etc. This is already possible in Mac OS which allow highlighting files in different colour which I find super useful!
Create an option to highlight text with different colours
It is very user-friendly to add a tool to remove highlights by selecting the highlighted part, as if highlighting them. And give different color options for importance classification.
This would do a great deal for the usability and would probably be quick to implement.
Maybe around 8 to 12 colours would be convenient. And also a possibility to label (and see the labels) the colors in both cases.
When highlighting text, different colours would be very helpful.
It will be very good if user could modify colors when using highlight function, That would be very helpful.
There should be more colors for highlighting the texts.
As mendeley supports sharing pdf inside a group. It would better to add more color choices to highlight the text to facilitate the communication(different group member use different colors to highlight the shared file). When used separately, multi-color highlighting is also more convenient.
When printing the annotated notes in B&W I can't read the note number that is listed in the margin because the black and yellow blend together. And yellow is ugly anyway.
Having multiple colors would make it easy to distinguish between different types of information and to highlight key words within already highlighted text
Maybe adding other colors to the highlight feature in handling pdf's can improve the note-taking feature.
Also adding the possibilities of having a pen to underline the text with different colors can be useful.
I am trying out Mendeley for the first time, and mainly came to it while looking for a (more) cross-platform alternative to Skim (for Mac). Skim is an excellent PDF viewer with strong and highly customizable annotation features. Mendeley is a far stronger bit of software since the last time I looked at it, and the inclusion of a PDF viewer and annotation is a big step up. Nice work.
There are a few improvements that would make Mendeley's annotations much better (from my perspective):
1. Clean up the Notes pane (perhaps as an optional setting)
1.1 Replace the fixed-size "yellow stickies" with simpler, expandable text fields.
- I think this would make better use of the real estate within the notes pane. The "sticky note image on a field" pushes the horizontal margins inward substantially. If I have a one-sentence annotation then a lot of empty yellow sticky note pushes the rest of the annotations down the pane. Inversely, if I have a long comment then I must scroll within the yellow sticky to read the entirety.
1.2 Collapsable, re-sizable, titled annotations
- This would also add flexibility to the display of notes to help users make the best of the available space. Check out a (free) copy of Skim to see a very good example of this idea in practice. Each note can collapse down to a title, the text box displaying the body of each note is vertically resizable (and the whole notes pane is horizontally resizable), and by right clicking you can "expand all" or "collapse all" notes. This is so awesome to work with in practice--the only reason that I am looking for alternatives to Skim is that the developer is not interested in non-OSX platforms (specifically, not interested in iOS).
1.3 RTF-formatted notes (or something on that order)
- Besides the fact this this may be a cheap way to get some of the features of (2) [see below], I make frequent use of heavy-handed italics and bold to signal things about my notes to myself later on.
2. Customization of Highlights and Annotations
2.1 Colors
2.2 Categorization/Tagging
2.3 Category-based view options / Search-and-filter
- Use case: Reading a PDF, I keep one set of notes that summarizes key points of the text, another set of notes with follow-up questions or "read such-and-such cited here," another for statements I wish to elaborate or expand on, another for statements I disagree with (and the nature of that disagreement), and another for simple notes like "cf. Such-and-such" or "Bob would like this." I could, using categories or tags (preferably tags), identify notes with each of these categories, and perhaps assign colors to each category. Then, I could filter my notes view by tag or category. So, if I am coming back around to a paper that I read early in my research project, I can get back up-to-speed on it by filtering out the non-summary annotations and briefly go through the summary I created while reading the article. When I am working out the next stage of to-do tasks for a project, I can filter to just my follow-up questions and "read this" notes. If I am looking for a particular note, I have a Search Notes box that will filter out notes that don't have the search term.
2.4 Copy highlighted text into note, or into title of note
- Sente has a pretty impressive means of dealing with adding comments to underlined or highlighted text in a PDF, if you want an example. Sente also as a fairly impressive price tag, not in a good way.
2.5 Click-to-higlight
- The "Click highlighter, then highlight text" works OK, but some folks might prefer "Highlight text, then click highlighter button" instead. If I have highlighted text, and then I click the highlighter button, it's pretty probable that the highlighted text is what I want to apply the highlighter to.
Thoughts? Is any of this within reason?
When doing research or when reading long documents I find it easier to highlight according to theme by highlighting in multiple colours- in the same document that is.
When I review a printed paper, I do not only write notes on the margin or mark text but use a certain code made out of symbols and colors to give a certain quality beyond simply "important" (different levels of importance, criticize, research further, like/dislike idea, don't understand, etc.) without having to do a note, and recognizing this specific quality of the mark instantly.
There should be a plug-in or a function in Mendeley to change the color of the marker or maybe a set of icons that can be put on a PDF or a note.
I'd like to be able to insert the post-it style notes in different colours, to resize the notes, and to tag the notes.
It would be nice to add a palette to choose the annotation color, preferably on the toolbar
Hey everyone, we've added a comment below explaining the situation with this feature in more detail, to give you all a better understanding of why this is a non-trivial change. We've changed the status to "Planned" now that we have some actual movement towards it, as outlined below.
Appreciate your patience, especially with such sparse updates from our end. Apologies for that.

the possibility to highlight in several colours would be highly appreciated. maybe a simple and ergonomic way for users would be to automatically switch to orange after the same text was highlighted twice, or red after the same text was highlighted three times etc. :-) (Indeed, highlighting several times the same text just makes it dimmer and is not really useful; changing hue only might improve it and even be quite useful IMO).
Melisa Spadaro commented
yes, please add more colors!!!
Gian-marco Melfi commented
Please add more colors ASAP!
Mehrdad Yousefpoori-Naeim commented
Yes, more colors, pleaseeee!
Alexandra Andrei commented
Now it's 2015 and still no other color. This is NOT trivial at all, because when you actually make your research for a paper in Mendeley, you really need at least 2 colours to use. Otherwise you get a lot of golden text, but no real keywords. More colours is desired, but at least 2. It is a small, but very important thing.
Miriam Barcus commented
Would still like more colors! And an underline option! More ways to annotate text would be highly desirable. The inability to do simple annotations is making me think about switching to a different platform.
Julia Mathis commented
Yes, more colors would be great to know which part of the text to use for which point in the paper…
I would, for example, need at least 4 different colors… ;)
Lori Fenton commented
Yes, more colors!! I've waited for this for a few years and can't believe we still can't do it.

José Pereira commented
Please, this feature is really important :)
Mathieu Lohr commented
Is there any update on this available? It's been almost a year, and it seems obvious that this is a key feature everyone is requesting.
Brian Gockley commented
If color is such a problem, why not add underlining and strike through?
Martin Stefanic commented
Yellow color became very dull. It is not in fashion anymore
Martin Stefanic commented
Yes, we want more colours. Give us at least one or two more!
Mackenzie Catron commented
It's been almost two years since this (actually very helpful) response was posted by the Mendeley Admin. Come on, Mendeley! Your users clearly want this, let's see a solution!
Greg Des commented
Tyler Poppenwimer commented
Yes please, more colors so I can differentiate, what is important, what I question, what I find odd, and what I think is a good idea for future work

Robert, I am no expert and you are no expert, therefore its no use for us to get into a heated climate change discussion, but I can apply basic logic, the logic goes like this:
We are currently overly dependent on a finite source of fuel which will not only run out but is also polluting our planet causing millions of deaths annually http://bbc.in/1eQRD20
As an alternative we have a nuclear fusion furnace blasting in the sky with everlasting energy supply guaranteed to outlast us and which will greatly diminish pollution. There is no other way for us than to eventually utilize that source of energy. Now we are at a point in time where PV technology is economically viable and financially on par with other energy suppliers in a growing part of planet earth. (please lets not get into the subsidy aspect as we all know that nuclear etc. is subsidized as well).
It is common sense logic that we will draw substantial amounts of energy from the sun in the near future, this has nothing to do with who is at fault regarding climate change, this is just basic math.
You are attempting to support your point by proving that we are not causing climate change but you completely ignore that fossil fuels are finite that millions of people die from it every year and that wars are being fought over it etc etc. even if everything you say is true, it would still not change any of the above.Mar 26, 2014. 04:32 PM | 6 Likes |Link to Comment

LINDON — It's common for deer and elk to come down the mountains to the outskirts of Lindon, but a few weeks ago a bear wandered several blocks into town, and residents are still talking about it.
"I was surprised," said Lindon resident Dara Card. "I thought that they wouldn't come down this far. We have deer all over the place, but we've never had a bear. It was a little unnerving."
The 250-pound adolescent black bear was spotted in a back yard in September.
"He started messing with some people's garbage and got into a garden spot, and that's when they contacted us," said Lindon Police Chief Cody Cullimore. "They heard some noise in their back yard and realized it wasn't the neighborhood dog."
The bear had wandered several blocks into one of the neighborhoods on the border of Lindon and Orem, Cullimore said.
"The thing that I was worried about was where the mother was," resident Jill McEwen said. "It was a baby bear and it was out wandering where the mother could be. We get a lot of deer, but never a bear," she said.
The bear dug through garbage cans, wandered through gardens and found a raspberry bush.
"They are doing what comes naturally to them when things become hard up in the mountains. They come down to the lower country," Cullimore said.
Officers from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources were called in. The bear was tranquilized and relocated. Cullimore said a snowy winter could make bear sightings more common.
"If we have a wet winter, so they have difficulty in snow and moving around, we may have more of those large game animals come down," Cullimore said. "The predators follow the game animals. It's very possible that we see more this winter than normal down in the neighborhoods."
He advised residents to give wild animals a wide berth and never approach, corner or catch them. The best approach is to keep an eye on it from a safe distance and to call the police with the location of the animal at 801-769-8600.
The bear wasn't the only big animal to come through a Lindon neighborhood in September. A bull moose also caused quite a stir.
Cullimore said wild animals such as skunks, raccoons, rattlesnakes, lizards, scorpions and tarantulas are an almost daily occurrence.
He said the natural environment in the area is great for people to use for recreational opportunities, but that was important to remember that large animals call the area home. "People need to remember that these are wild animals," he said. "They are not moving into our neighborhoods, we moved into theirs."
McEwen saw the bear in her neighbor's yard and hopes it won't happen again.
"I don't think we'll see too many more bears, I hope not, or cougars or anything like that," she said.

DDoS attack - Distributed Denial of Service
DDOS is short for Distributed Denial of Service.
DDOS is a type of DOS attack where multiple compromised systems -- which are usually infected with a Trojan -- are used to target a single system causing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Victims of a DDoS attack consist of both the end targeted system and all systems maliciously used and controlled by the hacker in the distributed attack.
According to this report on eSecurityPlanet, in a DDoS attack, the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources – potentially hundreds of thousands or more. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single IP address; plus, it is very difficult to distinguish legitimate user traffic from attack traffic when spread across so many points of origin.

Muskegon City Commission Accepts Action Plans as Road Map to Muskegon's Future
On April 8, 2014, the Muskegon City Commission took action to accept the staff recommendation to begin working toward implementation of the action plans for nine City Commission goals that were adopted earlier this year. As the actions plans are implemented, city staff expects to see measurable results in the following areas:
KALAMAZOO, Mich.—West Michigan will be well-represented during the Detroit Tigers' opening weekend at Comerica Park.
During the game against the Orioles Saturday, April 5, the 120 children that comprise the Kalamazoo Children's Chorus will sing the national anthem. Taylor Stevens, an alumna of KCC, will be directing the chorus.
"This is so exciting for the children and for me," Stevens said. "We've never done anything like this before."
During the game, Mona Shores High School's ball teams will also be accepting a $10,000 Grand Slam Grant check. Coach William Lent will also throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Muskegon County Mayors Join Nationwide Effort to Recognize Impact of National Service
[Muskegon, MI]– Mayors from the cities of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, Norton Shores, and Roosevelt Park join more than 1,600 mayors across the country on April 1, 2014 for the second annual Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service, a nationwide bipartisan effort that highlights the impact of national service in tackling city problems. These Mayors have signed a proclamation naming April 1, 2014 as National Service Recognition Day.
MUSKEGON, Mich.-- Organizers of Muskegon's largest event are looking for sponsors.
Muskegon Bike Time will return for its eighth year in the third week of July. Organizers say Bike Time attracted more than 100,000 people and 65,000 bikes last year, with a $25 million economic impact on the community. The proceeds are shared and donated to local charities.
Because Muskegon Bike Time is a nonprofit 501c3 organization, contributions are tax deductible. For more information about how you can become a sponsor, visit the Muskegon Bike Time website or contact Clyde Whitehouse or Dave Burlingame at (231) 722-0000 or firstname.lastname@example.com .
MUSKEGON, Mich.-- Mona Shores High School's baseball and softball teams will have 10,000 reasons to be on the field during Detroit's opening weekend at Comerica Park.
The school is the 2014 Grand Slam Grant winner. During the Tigers-Orioles game Saturday, April 5, the teams will be invited onto the field to receive a $10,000 check. Coach William Lent will also throw out the ceremonial first pitch during the Saturday game.
The money will go toward a much-needed second baseball diamond at the school. Mona Shores has three teams within its baseball program, but only one field to practice on. Often, lower-level ball players must resort to practicing on the football field or inside the school's gymnasium.

How to get a tan
Did you know you could get a tan on animal crossing? Well you can...Go to a sunny day in summer and stand outside. depending on how dark you want it you can stay out longer. I usually go for 2-5 minutes but if you want to be really dark, just stand out longer. If you dont stay outside at least once a day it will disappear within a week. All tans will disappear but i have been able to keep a successful tan for about a month...

Christmas Sunshine
We stayed in the villa from December 4th until January 5th and had a great Christmas and New Year. We have been visiting Florida regularly since 1996 and this is the first villa we have stayed in that we would rebook. If we had any concerns the management company are right next door and Mannie even called to ensure everything was ok during our stay. The location of the villa is good being near Disney and the 192 and the upstairs balcony was enjoyed by my wife who likes sunbathing. The villa has everything you need to enjoy your holiday whilst being able to relax when not visiting the parks.

Sochi: Matt Lauer to Fill in for Bob Costas on Primetime Olympics Coverage (Video)
The veteran sports broadcaster has been struggling with an eye infection since the beginning of the Games.
Matt Lauer will fill in for Bob Costas during Tuesday's primetime Olympics coverage, NBC announced on Tuesday's Today show. Costas has been struggling with an eye infection that has drawn much attention on the Internet. NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell told The Hollywood Reporter that he hopes the substitution is just for one night.

Indeed, during the morning banter on Tuesday to announce the move, co-host Savannah Guthrie noted that Costas' eye issues are a "trending item." And certainly the blogosphere has been closely -- maybe a little too closely -- tracking the anchor's worsening eye infection, which began in his left eye and spread to his right eye by Monday night.
Costas, on the phone with the Today team this morning, noted wryly that he is "reluctantly" allowing himself to be benched.
"I was trying to throw a complete game," he said, comparing himself to a pitcher.
"You're Mariano Rivera, at least for one night," he said to Lauer, referencing the great Yankees closer.
Costas, a veteran NBC Sports personality, has hosted every Olympics Games since 1992. And he demonstrates a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of myriad obscure Olympic sports and athletes. But his eye infection, which has likely been exacerbated by the studio lights and makeup, is now interfering with his vision, he admitted.
"Right now, I'm walking around like Marco Polo," he said this morning. "I have no idea where I am."

Australian Gov't Loses Privacy Alert Subscription Information In the Mail 33
from the this-is-a-data-breach dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I'd say it's a pretty good example of irony, from wikipedia "A situation is often said to be ironic (situational irony) if the actions taken have an effect exactly opposite from what was intended [wikipedia.org]".
People were concerned about their privacy so they subscribed to a breach notification list, instead they had their privacy potentially violated as a result of the list that was supposed to notify them.
I suppose a better irony would be if they were subscribers to some sort of breach avoidance system but it's still a pretty ironic situation.
Why were they taking information, which they have electronically, and putting it on a physical medium where it loses its usability, presumably so someone could use it. And they used regular mail? Seriously? Is this April fools or something, this is just too much fail to be real.
atleast the packet has legal protection
in australia, the government owned physical packet switching network known as 'australia post' has huge legal protection over every single packet switchted through the network, unlike digital networks. even retaining the header (sender/reciever) data is illegal, and any deep packet inspection will be met with the full force of the federal police. so from a legal perspective the data is a lot safer in post than in your email inbox
Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

Beautiful invitations
Deco Glam Square Invitations My fiancé loves Art Deco design. But there weren't too many out there and we were on a budget. We were not too fond of the dark color. MagnetStreet had the flexibility that allowed us to change the color scheme. They even called us to let us know that one of the suits color might not turn out well and advised us on the possible change of color scheme. The invitation cards, RSVP card, place card and details card turned out great with the iridescent paper. We loved it!
Perfect Wedding Favor Hang Tags
Deco Glam Wedding Favor Tags The Wedding Favor Hang Tags were perfect, professional and of excellent quality. They compliment our 'Great Gatsby' wedding theme with the beautiful Art Deco design and colors. I was so glad I found this website.

Deco Glam Wedding Favor Tags I was going to make my own favor tags. But I came across this and it was everything I needed. It was easy to design and it was one less thing I had to craft. Thank you Magnet street??
Bold and beautiful
Deco Glam Rectangle Invitations Very chic invitation with great color, font, and text customization! We ordered the rectangle-sized card, although we were torn between this one and the fold out. We changed most of the fonts but still kept the art deco theme by using the "Parisian" font. Shipment was speedy. The only downside was the packaging. The top RSVP card got dented, but customer service was quick to respond and take care of our needs.
