UNC Center for Civil Rights Study Highlights Racial Disparities in Public Education
A staggeringly high number of minority students in New Hanover and Pender Counties live near high-poverty elementary schools.
That's according to a recently-published report by the UNC Center for Civil Rights – part of the University of North Carolina's School of Law. The Inclusion Project examines statewide racial disparities from several angles, including proximity to polluting facilities, access to affordable housing, and voting rights.
It's the wealthiest counties in the state that display the most striking racial disparities, according to the Inclusion Project, a study documenting the data behind segregated communities in North Carolina. Peter Gilbert, author of the study, says "excluded communities" are those largely-minority groups that are left out of the political, social, and economic life of the state.
And equal access to quality public education, says Gilbert, is an issue for the Cape Fear region.
"What we found, for example, in Pender County only 52% of the population has a high-poverty school as its closest elementary school. But 81% of residents of these excluded communities had their closest school as a high-poverty school."
In New Hanover County, the disparity is even greater, says Gilbert. 91% of residents of these racially-excluded communities have a high-poverty elementary school as their closest school as opposed to only 43% for the county as a whole.
If school board members study what's going in the county, says Gilbert, and study the success of integration in other places…
"They'll realize that part of building a healthy, growing, and thriving society has to be educating all of the children in the county and that the only way to really do that in an equal way to make real the promise of equal opportunity may be to make some difficult choices."
A spokeswoman for New Hanover County Schools said that school officials have not yet verified the study results.

Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell Get Key Todd Akin Endorsement
"I'm fully behind [Mitch McConnell], I'm fully behind our great team of Ryan who I work with in the House," the controversial lawmaker tells Fox's Neil Cavuto.
Charlotte, NC — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has at least one vote in his pocket for Majority Leader if Republicans take the Senate in November — controversial Rep. Todd Akin.
"I'm fully behind him," Akin said during an appearance on Fox with Neil Cavuto, when asked if he would be able to work with McConnell, who has called for him to quit his Senate race.
Akin, who has become persona non grata within the GOP after his "legitimate rape" comments, also used the chance to express his support for Vice Presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan, with whom he has authored controversial abortion legislation.
"I'm fully behind our great team of Ryan who I work with in the House," Akin noted.

Students find it difficult to open up in the initial days of college. But with some effort and initiative, they can break through the barriers.
It's always exciting to face a new group of students and to watch a new set of dynamics unfold each year. The new class of 40 or so is a diverse group of young men and women, mostly strangers to each other. On the first day, they sit in tight, isolated bubbles, maybe one or two in a shy conversation with each other. By the afternoon perhaps, the ice is broken and the conversation extends in waves across the room. There are however, groups that have various kinds of barriers around them — linguistic, socio-economic, and cultural. But these will to some extent disappear as the semester progresses and as the demands of the course bring individuals from diverse backgrounds together.
Understanding campus life
The first few weeks — sometimes months — in a new place, and in a new programme, can be extremely disorientating and even scary for some. If you are starting an undergraduate degree programme, the sudden shift from school can be a big change. For those going into a master's course, it may be an even bigger change, as the level of independence and the nature of expectations can be quite different. The only comfort during those first few days is that everyone else around you is in the same boat!
Last fortnight we had talked about the need to spend some time reading and assimilating the material that is given to new students. That helps us get an understanding of the formal structure of the programme and the individual course that we will be taking. It also provides information on the various supports that are available to students. However, there's a lot of unwritten or what is called "tacit" knowledge that exists in the college or university community that never gets into these orientation packages. Details such as which parts of the administration work efficiently and which are less responsive, whom to go to if one needs papers moved quickly, which faculty member is approachable and helpful and whom to avoid, what the unspoken expectations are and what is considered acceptable behaviour…all this is learned by trial and error or through the grapevine. Usually, it is a helpful senior who volunteers such information. So, one of the important activities that one needs to put some energy into relates to getting to know the seniors.
But these initial days are also about understanding the physical and intellectual space within which your classes are going to take place. Many elements form a part of this environment, and they can enrich your experience considerably. If you are lucky enough to be on a large enclosed campus, maybe you have the chance to explore nature in a way you've never been able to before. Taking long walks, becoming part of nature or eco clubs, learning how to bicycle (if you haven't had that opportunity so far), even climbing trees, can become part of enjoying campus life. The university or college may host visiting scholars from other parts of the country and abroad, and usually there are open talks given by such people. Keep an eye out for posters and bulletins announcing such events, and of course, with social media this becomes much easier. All you have to do is to sign up for Twitter and Facebook alerts.
Out of classroom learning
A university is perhaps the most intellectually charged space there can be. It is full of young minds keen to learn and question the way things are. While classrooms are definitely spaces where such engagement and questioning can and should happen, many of the best conversations take place over coffee and chai in the canteens and during late night sessions in crowded hostel room — and these are the stuff of our campus memories.
You don't need a large campus to find out-of-the-classroom opportunities for learning, however. The lessons come in other, less obvious ways. As the new class of individuals becomes a group with a particular character, you see there is a sharing of perspectives and experiences, with new understanding emerging across people from different backgrounds. Arguments and misinterpretations still happen, but as time goes by, they are tempered by a growing realisation—and appreciation—that people are different. If you're lucky enough to be at a large state or central university, you will meet people from many different backgrounds, each offering a unique worldview.
Often it is these spaces outside the classroom, among people who are not your teachers (in the conventional sense of the word) that a lot of this "tacit" knowledge is shared. Spend the first few weeks of this new academic year discovering them. It will go a long way in making you feel at home with the new environment. And where better to learn than a place in which you're comfortable?

Apple and Google-Motorola Stop Suing Each Other
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | May 17, 2014 - 04:07 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Lawsuit, google, apple
If we all could just get along and get back to work...
On Friday, May 16th, Apple and Google (including the remains of its Motorola Mobility division) released a joint statement marking the end of all patent litigation between the two companies. The two companies have been in legal warfare for three-and-a-half years, now. The two companies will also "work together in some areas of patent reform". It is unclear what that actually means.
This decision does not seem to affect Apple's ongoing litigation with Samsung. Those two companies are still in a famous and fierce skirmish over mankind's greatest UX innovations, like slide-to-unlock and the little bounce that happens when you scroll to the end of a list too fast. Those are, honestly, the issues that we are facing. I have a suggestion for an area to reform...
... but that has been beaten to death for years, now. It, at least, shows a willingness to cooperate going forward. It also shows a slight bit more promise for products like Ubuntu on phones, Firefox OS, and even smaller initiatives. You can say what you like about the current litigation, but closing the road for independent developers with great and innovative ideas is terrible and bad for society. Unique smartphones could be made, each with slide-to-unlock, just like unique OSes can use icons and web browsers can use tabs.
Why, hello again Moto

Motorola has carved a nice niche for themselves with smartphones costing around $100 and have just released a new device called the Moto E. This phone sports a 4.3" 960x540 resolution display with a small bezel and a water resistant which gives a good grip and some protection against water damage. The 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor and 1GB of RAM are running Android 4.4, see the full review at The Inquirer.
"MOTOROLA ANNOUNCED the Moto E on Tuesday, a dirt-cheap Android 4.4 Kitkat smartphone that it hopes will see the same success as last year's Motorola Moto G."

Xiaomi MiPad Tablet is Tegra K1 Powered
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors, Mobile | May 15, 2014 - 05:02 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, xaiomi, mipad, tegra k1
Tegra K1 is NVIDIA's new mobile processor and this first to implement the Kepler graphics architecture. In other words, it has all of the same graphics functionality as a desktop GPU with 364 GigaFLOPs of performance (a little faster than a GeForce 9600 GT). This is quite fast for a mobile product. For instance, that amount of graphics performance could max out Unreal Tournament 3 to 2560x1600 and run Crysis at 720p. Being Kepler, it supports OpenGL 4.4, OpenGL ES 3.1, DirectX 11 and 12, and GPU compute languages.
Xiaomi is launching their MiPad in Beijing, today, with an 8-inch 2048x1536 screen and the Tegra K1. They will be available in June (for China) starting at $240 USD for the 16GB version and going up to $270 for the 64GB version. Each version has 2GB of RAM, an 8MP rear-facing camera, and a 5MP front camera.
Now, we wait and see if any Tegra K1 devices come to North America and Europe - especially at that price point.
Creative Labs Announces Sound Blaster E1 and E3
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | May 15, 2014 - 02:59 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Sound Blaster E3, Sound Blaster E1, Creative
Okay, so these products (SoundBlaster E1 and SoundBlaster E3) are confusing because they have several roles. Both are billed as "headphone amplifiers" with battery power. These types of products are somewhat rare and niche on the whole. Probably the main reason for using the amplifier portion is if you had high impedance headphones. Creative claims to support 600 Ohm headphones with both of these models.
And this is where Creative started tossing other features in.
Both the E1 and E3 can be used as an external sound adapter for PCs and Macs. While features, such as EAX, have gone by the wayside due to modern audio APIs, there is still room for sound devices to differentiate in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and so forth, especially when compared to some on-board solutions. Speaking of SNR, the E1 advertises 106dB while the E3, 110dB. Also, sometimes you just want another sound card and USB is convenient. Both include ASIO drivers which is especially useful, although not too uncommon, for professional recording software.
The E3 then goes off on a tangent. Its USB hookup can attach not just to PCs and Mac, but also Android and iOS mobile devices. While it also has Bluetooth for iOS 5+ and Android 3.1+, it can be used as a wired, external sound card over USB on Android 4.2+ (using USB Streaming over Android Open Accessory Protocol 2.0) and iOS 7+ (using a Lightning USB adapter). This allows users to bypass the built-in amplifiers of their smartphones and tablets without Bluetooth compression. I would be interested to see reviews of this unit compared with the 3.5mm jack quality of typical mobile devices.
The Sound Blaster E1 is available now for $69 and the E3 will follow "soon", for $169.
NVIDIA Teases Half-Life 2 on SHIELD with a Crowbar
Subject: Mobile | May 8, 2014 - 11:02 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, tegra, shield, half-life 2
Remember that cake we got last week? It was sent by NVIDIA to celebrate the release of Portal (May 12th) on SHIELD. They are at it again...
When you get a FedEx box meant for a poster or tube of some kind, but you didn't order said poster, you are likely to be confused. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and found...a bright green crowbar. This might become a habit for them; we received a pry bar from NVIDIA in April of 2012 to tease the release of the GeForce GTX 690.
Based on the message on the crow bar it seems that a Half-Life 2 release on SHIELD is going to be following soon. Sorry to disappoint anyone that was expecting Half-Life 3...
NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti on Thunderbolt 2 by DIYers
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile | May 7, 2014 - 02:26 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Thunderbolt 2, thunderbolt, nvidia, GeForce GTX 780 Ti
Externally-attached GPUs have been a topic for many years now. Numerous companies have tried, including AMD and Lucid, but no solution has ever been a widely known and available product. Even as interfaces increase in bandwidth and compatibility with internal buses, it has never been something that a laptop salesperson could suggest to users who want to dock into a high-performance station at home. At best, we are seeing it in weird "coin mining" racks to hang way more GPUs above a system than could physically mount on the motherboard.
Apparently that has not stopped the DIY community, according to chatter on Tech Inferno forums. While the above video does not really show the monitor, MacBook Pro, and GPU enclosure at the same time, let alone all wired together and on, it seems reasonable enough. The video claims to give the MacBook Pro (running Windows 8.1) access to a GeForce GTX 780 Ti with fairly high performance, despite the reduced bandwidth. Quite cool.
Check out the forum post for a few more details.
Upgrades from Anker
Last year we started to have a large amount of mobile devices around the office including smartphones, tablets and even convertibles like the ASUS T100, all of which were charged with USB connections. While not a hassle when you are charging one or two units at time, having 6+ on our desks on any day started to become a problem for our less numerous wall outlets. Our solution last year was Anker's E150 25 watt wall charger that we did a short video overview on.
It was great but had limitations including different charging rates depending on the port you connected it to, limited output of 5 Amps total for all five ports and fixed outputs per port. Today we are taking a look at a pair of new Anker devices that implement smart ports called PowerIQ that enable the battery and wall charger to send as much power to the charging device as it requests, regardless of what physical port it is attached to.
We'll start with the updated Anker 40 watt 5-port wall charger and then move on to discuss the 3-port mobile battery charger, both of which share the PowerIQ feature.
Anker 40 watt 5-Port Wall Charger
The new Anker 5-port wall charger is actually smaller than the previous generation but offers superior specifications at all feature points. This unit can push out more than 40 watts total combined through all five USB ports, 5 volts at as much as 8 amps. All 8 amps can in fact go through a single USB charging port we are told if there was a device that would request that much - we don't have anything going above 2.3A it seems in our offices.
Any USB port can be used for any device on this new model, it doesn't matter where it plugs in. This great simplifies things from a user experience point of view as you don't have to hold the unit up to your face to read the tiny text that existed on the E150. With 8 amps spread across all five ports you should have more than enough power to charge all your devices at full speed. If you happen to have five iPads charging at the same time, that would exceed 8A and all the devices charge rates would be a bit lower.

Lenovo Launches Two New 11-Inch Chromebooks
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | May 6, 2014 - 02:48 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Lenovo, Chromebook, celeron, Intel
Today, Lenovo announced its first set of Chromebooks aimed at consumers. The N20 Chrome and N20p Chrome Chromebooks join the existing ThinkPad branded Chromebooks which targeted the education sector. The new N20 series devices are 11.6" laptops weighing less than 3.1 pounds powered by an Intel Celeron chip and running Google's Chrome OS.
The base N20 Chrome is a traditional laptop sans touchscreen or Yoga-style acrobatics.
Both the N20 Chrome and N20p Chrome sport an 11.6" display with a resolution of 1366x768, a 1 megapixel webcam, stereo speakers, AccuType keyboards, and large trackpads. Further, the Chromebooks have two USB ports, one HDMI output, a SD card slot, and an audio mic/headphone combo jack. Wireless connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.2.
The N20 Chrome has a traditional laptop clamshell design while the N20p Chrome features a 300° hinge that allows the display to flip around into tent mode as well as the traditional laptop mode. Further, the N20p Chrome adds a 10-point multi-touch digitizer to the 11.6" display. The N20 Chrome weighs 2.8 lbs (1.3 kg) whereas the N20p Chrome weighs 3.1 lbs (1.4 kg) because of the added hinge and digitizer. Both models come in Graphite Grey with silver accents.
Internally, Lenovo has gone with an unspecified Intel Celeron processor (with Intel integrated graphics), up to 4GB of DDR3L memory, and up to 16GB of eMMC storage (expandable via SD card). Lenovo is pairing the device with up to 100GB of Google Drive cloud storage as well. Lenovo claims up to 8 hours of battery life which bodes well for students and office workers on the go.
The N20p Chrome with its 11.6" 10-point multi-touch display and 300° hinge.
The N20 Chrome will be available in July for $279 while the N20p Chrome is coming in August with an MSRP of $329. Lenovo's first take at consumer Chromebooks looks to have all the right pieces. The company should have a very successful product on its hands so long as the keyboards and overall build quality hold up to reviews.

Lenovo Preparing To Launch New ThinkPad 10 Windows 8.1 Tablet
Subject: Mobile | May 2, 2014 - 10:34 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Windows 8.1, thinkpad tablet, thinkpad 10, Lenovo, Intel, Bay Trail
Details on a new 10-inch tablet from Lenovo emerged following a product page being posted on the Lenovo Australia site prior to an official announcement. The page was quickly taken down, but not before German technology site TabTech snagged all of the details and photos of the new ThinkPad branded mobile.
The leaked ThinkPad 10 joins the existing ThinkPad 8 tablet which was first shown off at CES 2014 earlier this year. The business-focused device runs x86 hardware and the full version of Microsoft's Windows 8.1 operating system. The ThinkPad 10 sports rounded edges, a hefty bezel, (and if it follows the ThinkPad 8) a machine cut aluminum back panel with ThinkPad branding. The front of the device hosts a 10-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1200, a 2MP webcam, and Windows button. The top corner of the tablet hosts an 8MP rear camera with LED flash. Exact dimensions and weight are still unknown.
Internally, Lenovo is using a quad core Bay Trail SoC clocked at 1.6 GHz, up to 4GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of internal storage. If the ThinkPad 8 is any indication, the base models should start with 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a Wi-Fi chip. From there, users will be able to choose versions of the ThinkPad 10 with more memory, more storage, LTE cellular data connections, and stylus options.
Additionally, the ThinkPad 10 will support basic covers, basic docks that allow it to be used in tent mode, keyboard docks, and keyboard cases. Unfortunately, the keyboard dock does not appear to latch onto the tablet, and once docked the screen cannot be rotated further like with devices like the Transformer T100 and upcoming Aspire Switch 10. With that said, from the information available so far, I am interested in the ThinkPad 10 from a mobile productivity standpoint (I have been on the fence on getting a T100 for months now, heh). If Lenovo can maintain ThinkPad quality in this tablet and the keyboard options, I will definitely be considering it.
With the ThinkPad 8 starting at $399 for the WiFi-only model with 2GB RAM and 64GB storage, users can expect the ThinkPad 10 to start at least $499. Unfortunately, as with most product launches and leaks, official pricing and availability are still unknown.
Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more details on the ThinkPad 10. In the meantime, check out our video of the ThinkPad 8 to get an idea of the aesthetics and performance of the upcoming Windows 8.1 tablet!
Acer Intros Budget 7" Intel-Powered Iconia One 7 Tablet

Tagged: tablet, Intel, Clover Trail+, atom z2560, Android
Acer is introducing a new 7-inch tablet due for release in June. The upcoming Iconia One 7 is an Intel-powered tablet running Google's Android 4.2 operating system. It is a budget device that cuts corners on the operating system and hardware so that it can reach a starting price of $129.99.
The Iconia One 7 tablet will be available in black, blue, red, pink, and white, and features a 7-inch IPS display with a 16:10 resolution of 1280x800, a 5 megapixel rear camera, and a 0.3 megapixel webcam. The tablet has rounded corners and edges (especially on the back panel).
Internally, Acer has chosen to use a dual core SoC based on Intel's previous generation Clover Trail+ architecture (2-wide, in order cores that support Hyper Threading). The chip features two CPU cores clocked at 1.6 GHz, 1 MB of cache, and a PowerVR SGX544 GPU. THe chip is paired with 1GB of system RAM and either 8GB or 16GB of internal flash storage. The internal storage can be expanded with up to a 32GB microSD card. The tablet is powered by a 3,700 mAh battery.
The tablet hardware is reportedly compatible with Android 4.4, but Acer has yet to outline an upgrade path.
Acer has obviously cut corners here, both on the hardware and software. However, these sacrifices have allowed the company to offer up a tablet at a base price of $129.99. It will not be the fastest device, but it should be a good-enough web browsing and reading tablet for those that prefer the portable 7-inch form factor. (Personally, I would have liked to see a Bay Trail-powered variant at a slightly higher price point.) The Iconia One 7 will be available in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East by the middle of this month and will hit US shores in June.

UK's first cinema to re-open on Regent Street
The Regent Street Cinema is open to the public once more following a £6m refurbishment.
It was first used for film screenings in 1896 when the Lumiere brothers chose it to showcase their film projector, the cinematograph.
It will screen Howard Hawks' 1939 classic 'Only Angels Have Wings', starring Cary Grant and Rita Hayworth.
The venue, dubbed 'the birthplace of British cinema', is the only cinema in the UK that can show 16mm, 35mm, Super 8 and 4K digital formats.
The cinema was also the first in the UK to screen an X-rated film in 1951. It closed in 1980 to become a lecture hall.

Dismissing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's three-day fast as a political stunt, post-Godhra riot victims, in an open letter to him, said that there cannot be sadbhavna without justice.
"No amount of power or arrogance gave Midas his glass of water nor will you get your sadbhavana with all your developmental publicity," riot victims stated in an open letter to Mr. Modi.
"We have no ill-feelings towards our Hindu brothers and sisters despite our terrible loss and sufferings. We both are the victims of powerful political forces whose strength lies in our division," the letter written by Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM), an NGO on behalf of riot victims said.
"We alone can create 'sadbhavana' by uniting and defeating the forces of fraud and deception for vote politics. You may be doing all this for your great ambition to become Prime Minister of the country, but we have only one small demand for Justice," it said, adding that there cannot be Sadbhavna without justice.
"If you were so great a Chief Minister as you claim today, why could not you protect these innocent, helpless Muslims? In fact, why did you fail to protect the innocent 58 passengers of Sabarmati Express who also died in the terrible fire on 27th February 2002," riot victims asked.
Are you celebrating the pain of the victims or are you trying to confuse the people by organising the five-star programme to give an impression that the cases against you have been closed, they further questioned.
In the letter, Mr. Modi has been accused of helping a handful of rich and powerful. "Have you ever peeped into the hell through which we the victims and community as a whole is going through? No, you have not and we know, you have no desire or intention to give us justice," they stated.
Seeking an explanation from Mr. Modi, the victims asked him why POTA was applied to only the Muslim accused in different cases and why did he not order investigation into the alleged fake encounters and take action against the police officers involved.
Referring to the encounters of Sameer Khan Pathan, Sadiq Jamal, Ishrat Jahan, Sohrabuddin, Kausarbi, Tulsi Prajapati among others, the letter asked," as to why in every FIR it was alleged that they were intending to kill you (Mr. Modi) and why did he not order for investigations in the fake encounter cases."

My "It" Bag It holds so much without looking bulky. I ALWAYS get compliments on it. Seriously my day to day bag. Love that it has the handles or the long strap. May 6, 2015
Love this bag I use it for going out and work. Its perfect. Ive got 2 black ones and even a red one. Super sleek and chic. March 31, 2015
Fabulous Bag... Perfect go-to black bag for any outfit. March 8, 2015
Best College Bag Ever! I bought this bag in a nude color for school which was the best choice ever. It fits all my books and everything that I need for school. When I open the bag, nothing falls out of the bag. It is super comfy because it has multiple straps. I suggest buying the textured one as opposed to the patent one because the patent one easily gets dirty. February 12, 2015
Very Cute Purse I am a little bias because I love large purses. I really like this purse because of it's color and size. I can fit everything from large book to all my necessary stuff that I carry with me on a daily basis. So if you have a lot of items to hold in your purse, this one is for you. Not to mention all the compliments I get on it. It's big, sturdy, and durable. I use it as my everyday purse for work and everything else. The zippers go all the way down but the sides have expandable cloth on them so your items don't fall out when you open your purse. Definitely a must have. I have the pink one. I was a little worried that it was a Spring purse and that it wouldn't match my darker colored stuff but it actually does go with everything. I was quite surprised. January 21, 2015

Nepal & Tibet
Historic Kathmandu Valley; Bhaktapur - UNESCO site; The Jokhang, Tibetan Buddhism's most important temple; Barkhor, largest bazaar in all of Tibet; Fabled Potala Palace; Himalayan peaks, high plateaux
Full Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Kathmandu
Today we arrive in Nepal, a country with spectacular geography and a rich cultural diversity. Within its narrow borders we will find a complete climatic range, from tropical to temperate, alpine to Arctic. As many as 30 different languages and dialects are spoken among the many ethnic groups. Transfer the short distance to Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu Valley.
NOTE: Due to variables such as festival dates, internal flights, and ever-changing entry (visa) requirements, our published tour dates and / or itinerary can shift right up to departure. As such, we will not accept any LAND ONLY bookings for this tour. Booking your air with Adventures Abroad offers you protection from the possible costs and complications associated with tour changes. Exceptions to this rule will only be granted to those passengers who are willing to fully accept the risks of booking their own air tickets given the above circumstances.
Overnight in Kathmandu.
Meal plan: dinner
Day 2 Kathmandu: City Tour
This morning we travel to Kathmandu's central meeting area, Durbar Square, a profusion of temples reflecting the different architectural styles dating from the eleventh century. The area also includes the Royal Palace with its gilded gates and elaborate statues. The square is alive with a multitude of nationalities, intermingled with stalls displaying a wide variety of Nepalese and Tibetan handicrafts. We will also see "Freak Street" -- a famous hippie meeting place
from the 60's.
We then proceed to Swayambhunath Temple, Nepal's most significant centre of Buddhist worship. There has been a temple on this site since at least the 5th century. Swayambhunath is also known as the "Monkey Temple" due to the large population of monkeys that make the grounds their home. The temple buildings are set atop a hill and offer an excellent view of Kathmandu and its valley.
This afternoon we visit Patan, the second largest town in the Kathmandu valley. Patan's Durbar Square contains some of the finest examples of Newari Architecture in Nepal.
Overnight in Kathmandu.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 3 Kathmandu, Nepal - Lhasa, Tibet
Today we transfer to Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport for our flight to Tibet.
This remarkable trans-Himalayan flight takes us directly past the Everest group of peaks. In a little over one hour, the Kathmandu-Lhasa flight covers rugged terrain that once took trade caravans months to cross. On a clear day as many as eight of the world's fourteen 8000+ m (26,000+ feet) peaks can be seen. The landscape changes dramatically as we cross the great barrier of the Himalaya, from Nepal's green terraced hillsides to the high and dry, barren plateau typical of Tibet. We fly over deep-blue Yamdrok Lake to land at Gonggar Airport, 85 km (53 miles) south of Lhasa.
We will be met by our Tibetan guide on arrival and drive along the flat valley of the Tsangpo River to our comfortable hotel in Lhasa (3650 m / 12,045 feet). Balance of the day at leisure to acclimatize to the altitude.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 4 Lhasa: Jokhang Temple
We have an easy morning to acclimatize followed by a visit to the Jokhang, the religious and geographical centre of Lhasa, and the most important temple in the world for all sects of Tibetan Buddhism. Pilgrims from across Tibet, many of whom have walked hundreds of kilometres to see the Jokhang once in their lives, queue for hours to enter the temple and perform a ritual circuit in prostration of its many sacred shrines. It is a moving experience to join them in the dark hallways, filled with the sound of low chanting, lit only by butter lamps. The main image worshipped here is Jowo Rinpoche, a gilded statue of Buddha Sakyamuni said to have been modeled during his lifetime.
The Jokhang is encircled by the Barkhor, an 800m (2,645 feet) flagstone pathway that is both a sacred circumambulation route and the biggest bazaar in all of Tibet. Night and day, Tibetans walk clockwise around it, earning religious merit as they shop, people-watch and chat with friends. Here you find people from all corners of Tibet: striking, tall Khampa men from the east with big knives and red tassels wrapped about their heads; Golok women with their hair plaited in 108 tiny braids; nomad families bundled in sheepskins. The Barkhor is the real heart of Tibet, you can spend hours watching the passing parade or bargain for the trinkets and souvenirs, displayed in street stands, everything from prayer flags to silver jewelry to yak butter.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 5 Lhasa - Potala - Sera - Lhasa
This morning we visit the fabled Potala Palace that rises above the city like a fairytale castle set atop its rocky pedestal. The Potala has been the home of successive Dalai Lamas. It was also the seat of the Tibetan government, and with chapels, cells, religious schools, and even tombs for the Dalai Lamas it was virtually a self-contained world. Begun in the 7th century, but not reaching its full glory until the 17th century reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama, the 13 storey Potala rises 117m (383 feet) high and is made entirely of wood, earth and stone. It has over 1000 rooms.
We proceed to Sera, one of the two most important Gelugpa (Yellow Hat sect) monasteries. The monastery is the location of the famous 'monk's debate' on some afternoons every week. During this ritual 'question and answer' session, a senior monk quizzes a junior and there is much grimacing, clapping and mock threatening. The important part of this ritual is the passing on of knowledge of the theosophical questions of the Tibetan lamaistic Buddhist faith.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 6 Lhasa - Drepung - Norbulingka - Lhasa
This morning we visit Drepung, a monastery which, during its peak, had 7,700 monks in residence and a single kitchen where food for them was cooked in enormous urns. It and Sera suffered damage in varying degrees during the turbulent days of the Red Guards and their Cultural Revolution but have now been restored and the monks have returned.
During our time in Lhasa we will also visit the Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's summer palace and currently the site of a simple museum.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 7 Lhasa - Shigatse
An early departure takes us from the high Tibetan plateau to Shigatse.
We pass colourful rock carvings of Buddha as we approach the outskirts of Lhasa at the start of a long road journey. We leave the city limits and follow the course of the Tsangpo River which, entering India, becomes the Bramahputra. From the Kamba La (4794 m 15,728 ft) there is a spectacular view of the blue waters of Yamdrok Tso, one of Tibet's sacred lakes. Now we travel the zigzag road to cross the mighty Yarlung Tsangpo River on our way to Lhasautra. The road then drops down to Yamdrok Tso Lake and follows the twisting northern bank for hours, prior to climbing up to the Karo La Pass. On either side are gigantic peaks including 7260 m (23,958 foot) high Nazin Kang Sa.
On our way to Shigatse, we stop and visit Gyantse, famous for its multi-tiered stupa known as the Kumbum.
Overnight in Shigatse (3900 m / 12,870 feet).
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 8 Shigatse Area
We visit the main site of interest in Shigatse, the Tashilhunpo Monastery.
Tashilhunpo, the principal monastery of Tsang Province, is one of the Great Six centers of the Gelugpa sect. The others are Sera, Drepung, and Ganden, all in or near Lhasa, and Labrang and Kumbum in Amdo (southern Gansu / Qinghai provinces). Tashilhunpo is the largest, most vibrant monastery in Tibet, the only one that does justice to the term 'monastic city'. Founded in 1447 by Tsongkhapa's nephew and disciple, Gedundrub, the First Dalai Lama, it was substantially enlarged under the Fourth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen (1570-1662).
This afternoon is free to explore Shigatse town and the market.
Overnights in Shigatse (3900m / 12,870 feet).
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 9 Shigatse - Lhasa
Today we follow the path of the often turbulent east-flowing Yarlung Tsampo River as it winds it's way towards Lhasa. You will see the new Lhasa-Shigatse railway in various stages of construction on either side of the river and through the Yarlung Valley's mountain walls (scheduled for completion in 2014). We will hop back and forth across the river that cuts through the rugged canyon and witness the clash between Tibet's past and it's future.
Overnight in Lhasa.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 10 Lhasa, Tibet - Kathmandu, Nepal - Bhaktapur
Today we drive back to Lhasa'a Gonggar Airport and fly to Kathmandu. On arrival, we will drive to historic suburb on Bhaktapur now designated as a World Heritage Site. Walking tour of Bhaktapur.
Overnight in Bhaktapur.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 11 Kathmandu Valley - Depart
Today we have a tour of the fascinating Kathmandu Valley. This morning we will visit Changu Narayan, a Hindu temple set on a hilltop a few kilometers from Bhaktapur. On the way to Changu Narayan, we pass through terraced rice fields and enjoy a glimpse of the rural life of Nepal.
Our next stop is Pashupatinath Hindu Temple, a very interesting place located on the sacred Bagmati River where there may be cremations taking place on the ghats. We also visit Boudhanath Stupa, one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Kathmandu and one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal.
We then transfer to Kathmandu Airport for our flights homeward.

It's not a problem as such because apache httpd will run fine. If you don't want to see that message, edit httpd.conf, look for the ServerName section and enter the computers hostname in that section.

can i ssh from a mac since it uses a bash shell?

You should be able to ssh from anywhere you have an ssh client; dependent on being allowed to by the firewall sshd configs of course."I used to be with it, then they changed what it was.

The original, Dream Warriors and New Nightmare I think are really great horror movies. Dream Master is really fun in that highly polished, late 80's, studios were actually starting to make money and made one good mainstream one before it all went to their heads kind of way.
The remake is really kind of terrible. It was going somewhere interesting when there was a taste of Freddy possibly being wrongly accused, but then of course no one had the balls to go there. That would have been too interesting. Jackie Earle Haley was really great in the role with what he had to work with. I really liked the performance and he made it his own, but everything around him was just bad.
That's pretty much how I feel about the franchise, too.

Two minor's testimonies have ensured that their 46-year-old father will continue to be behind bars till his life ends. This was decided as the high court recently rejected the appeal made by the man challenging the conviction holding him guilty for murdering his wife, in 2009.
A division bench of Justices V K Tahilramani and A S Gadkari upheld the conviction of Pandhari Sukhdeo Mothe. In its eight page judgment, the court said "The evidence tendered by the two children inspires confidence in the court to show that Pramila Mothe was killed by her husband."
As per the testimonies, the children had seen their father assaulting the mother at home and later, throwing her into a nearby well, on December 16, 2009, at village Chikhale in Palghar. Both children told the court that their father was a habitual drunkard and used to beat their mother often.
Apart from the testimonies, the court also took into account the medical evidence given by the doctor in the post-mortem report of the mother, citing the cause of death to be due to asphyxia after drowning.
As per the prosecution case four years prior to the incident, the appellant had caused injuries to his wife and mother-in-law. On account of this, he was prosecuted. Ultimately, the case was compounded. About 15 days prior to the incident, Pandhari again assaulted Pramila and out of fear, she came to her brother's house and took shelter along with the children. However, she was sent back by her brother.
After the murder, the accused allegedly dropped the children at his in-laws house and told his mother-in-law that he was fleeing and she should look after the children. During the trial, the accused denied the charges and pleaded not guilty.
After going through the evidence as well as the arguments made by the defence advocate and the prosecution, the high court held "Looking at the evidence on record, we find no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that it was the appellant who assaulted his wife and threw her in the well, causing her death. Thus we find no merit in the appeal."

Hamas lawmakers say barred entry to Egypt
Acting parliament speaker Ahmed Bahar says he and six oher lawmakers were denied entry en route to other Arab countries.
A senior Palestinian parliamentarian said Sunday that he and five colleagues from the militant Islamic Hamas movement had been barred by Egypt from crossing its border with Gaza on their way to visit other Arab countries.
Acting parliament speaker Ahmed Bahar said in a statement Sunday that the Egyptians have rejected a request for the six lawmakers to travel through Egypt. The statement did not give the lawmakers' destination or the purpose of their trip.
An Egyptian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the men tried to cross the border without the necessary prior coordination and were therefore turned away.
The coastal strip's only other frontier is with Israel, where Hamas officials are subject to capture and imprisonment. Israel also prevents air and sea traffic from Gaza.
Bahar is standing in for speaker Abdel Aziz Dueik, who is in an Israeli jail along with scores of other Hamas lawmakers from the West Bank.

What does the future hold for an online patient? On a personal note, I believe the future looks rosy for the internet based patient (but that could easily be because of my day job). The online health care realm has penetrated remote areas and is taking medical care facilities right to the bedroom of the patients. In the financially poor regions, many people are deprived of health care facilities simply due to the fact that medical services, such as hospitals and clinics, are far away. E-Patient, therefore, has emerged as an alternative to the conventional methods of seeking care.
The Current State of E-Patient
So far, people have only started to explore what online healthcare is all about. We are into nascent stages of development of the technologies such as tele-medicine, Tele-pharmacy etc. Most E-Patients are limited to seeking prescriptions for small diseases. Comprehensive health care based on the internet alone is a tool still missing from the E-Patient's toolbox . Also, we have been unable to set up comprehensive systems that help connect patients with physicians through online networks. These systems don't allow monitoring of every aspect of care.
The Future
We may not be seeing holographic physicians anytime soon. However, online care is moving at a relatively fast pace. The rate of international coalitions in the field of medical science will soon yield results. We can see development and implementation of sophisticated online medical systems. The future holds great promises when it comes to healthcare, especially for the E-Patient.
Medical Devices
Real time communication between patients and doctors is another major hurdle. Slow internet connection is the prime cause behind it. Most of the present internet connections are unable to deal with video conferencing and cannot carry large medical files. This can delay medical care, especially in times of emergency. Setting up a fast internet connection is the only way out. Governments worldwide are creating the infrastructure required to set up these advanced systems. This will increase the reach of Telepharmacy and Tele-health.
In the near future, technology will help an online patient in the following ways:
Social Media Networks
The social media channels have evolved a lot in the past few years. Face Book and Twitter are the two main hubs. They are increasingly being used for seeking healthcare services. Patients can discuss some issues and get instant replies using these platforms. However, future may witness dedicated networks devoted to the medical sector. They may be paid in the beginning, just like a medical health insurance plan.
The networks may consist of in-house network of doctors and specialists catering to a community. These communities will hold all the medical data of a patient and will be inter-connected to other communities. People with similar conditions will be able to contact and share healthcare tips.
Safety and Laws
E-Patients today have to deal with fraudulent healthcare services. This is due to the fact that there are no such laws governing this industry. People are lured in by fake online doctors. However, with the big players stepping in, the online healthcare realm has improved a lot. The quality of services provided has also improved a lot. In the future, we will see governments stepping into this arena.
Laws and codes to be followed will be laid down. Physicians and doctors will become more transparent in their online dealings. The doctors will be able to get online education to improve their skills.
The technological part is easy and will progress without any issues. The legal framework, however, will be a little trickier. The technical as well as ethical codes have to be laid down in order to control the misuses of this realm of healthcare. E-patients will be able to access full leverage of online healthcare only after the optimum safety guidelines have been specified by their respective governments.

Former Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani has startled the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership with an apparent endorsement of Gujarat Chief Minister's claims to be the party's candidate for Prime Minister in the next general election.
In an article posted on his blog on Friday, Mr. Advani wrote: "Now, American lawmakers and the State Department are being primed for the return of the BJP to power in New Delhi, with [Mr.]Modi at the helm as Prime Minister, following what U.S. analysts say is a precipitous decline in the Congress party's fortunes due to a string of corruption scandals."
For his assessment of United States official opinion, Mr. Advani has relied on a recent report of the Washington DC-based Congressional Research Service.
The report, like others regularly produced by the non-partisan CRS, is intended to provide U.S. legislators an overview of various shades of media and public opinion. The lead author of the report, K. Alan Kronstadt, said in a letter to The Hindu that the CRS reports "are not primary sources", making clear the report is not intended to provide an independent evaluation of Mr. Modi's position.
Mr. Advani's September 8 announcement that he would undertake a country-wide yatra against corruption had been widely read as an effort to project himself as the party's Prime Ministerial candidate .
In turn, the Gujarat Chief Minister had said he would be undertaking a three-day fast for communal harmony. Mr Modi made his announcement after the Supreme Court issued orders asking a trial court to consider charges that he had been complicit in the communal violence that rocked the State in 2002, a decision the BJP proclaimed to be a victory.
The apparent jockeying between Mr. Modi and Mr. Advani has caused some bemusement among the BJP's leadership. "Shaadi to hui nahin, bache ki baat ho rahi hai ("even though the marriage is yet to take place, people are talking about the children that will be born of it")", one senior party leader told The Hindu, a sardonic reference to the fact that a leadership race seemed to have broken out even though elections were still distant. .

Data management is a growing challenge for government. Petabytes of information -- including digital documents, consumer data, transactions and photos -- are piling up at all branches and divisions of local, state and federal government. Management and analysis of that data is a top priority, as is security and prevention of data leaks.
But while agencies focus on protecting their data networks, facilities and digital assets, they might be missing an unexpected area of vulnerability: multifunction printers (MFPs) and the hard-copy and digital workflows that surround them.
According to Verizon's 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report, employees contribute to 36 percent of data loss incidents in larger organizations. Furthermore, devices used by employees are generally the first point of entry for a potential security breach, including printers and MFPs.
When considering information security, agencies must carefully evaluate both physical and digital access. Who has access to confidential information printed from your devices? Are sensitive documents with confidential information lying exposed on the output tray where anyone could see them or accidentally take them? Can anyone in your organization walk up and retrieve a document?
The following preventive measures can help agencies minimize and defend against potential MFP data security breaches.
Authenticate users. It is important to remember that the data users send to a networked device can potentially be seen by anyone. Controlling an MFP begins by securing access to the device via user authentication, such as card access, keypad logins or personal identity verification. As an initial component of network hardening, a device-based login is a simple, effective way to control who can access particular features on a given MFP. It also enables an organization to build a detailed record of use that can be reviewed in response to security issues or to monitor overall efficiency.
Manage documents in the cloud. Data is moving to the cloud at an accelerated rate. Security (or lack thereof) is one of the biggest concerns for IT professionals because they must ensure that information is carefully tracked and managed. Consider output management and cost control software for MFP devices. Such tools are designed to provide effective control over your entire print fleet by offering solutions such as secure printing, document output accounting, cloud access management and device management.
Encrypt the devices' hard disks. The data processed and stored on an MFP might be laden with confidential information, especially in the government sector. Disk encryption is intended to protect data by using proprietary software or hardware to make files unreadable to unauthorized parties. Be sure encryption keys are unique to each device; otherwise, hard disks can be moved from one device to another and easily read. Also store the keys separately from the encrypted data.
In addition, it could be fairly simple to extract confidential information from an MFP even after it has been deleted unless the file has been effectively overwritten. To prevent such breaches, organizations should implement a hard-drive data-erase function to ensure that no traces of temporary data or deleted documents remain accessible on the device's disk drive.
Government agencies and the IT professionals who guide them are constantly looking for solutions that simplify and improve critical processes within their infrastructures. Given the risks associated with daily use of today's MFPs, don't leave your critical information exposed. Take a holistic view of security and partner with your office equipment vendor to ensure that you have a comprehensive strategy in place to mitigate risk.
