BHUBANESWAR: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday wrote to Union External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee urging him to take measures to ensure release of Anand Patri, a resident of Bhadrak district of the State, from a Pakistan jail. In his letter, the Chief Minister said that Mr. Patri was in a Pakistani jail as a war prisoner since the 1965 Indo-Pak war. Mr. Patri's son had recognised his father when the latter's photograph was published in newspapers in 2003.

Happy to have Bailey get off to a good start, especially against a team like the Nats.
Haha, Cozart just called em the Angels. He don't care.

Wow, that was as impressive as a Reds game as I have ever seen. Have I mentioned how much I love Choo at the top of the lineup?
Bruce with two opposite field doubles? Good sign.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Frazier said they're playing for Luddy. Now I don't think there's anything to that, but I do appreciate how much the guys try to pick each other up when someone goes down. Ludwick did it last year when Joey got hurt, Latos when Cueto came out.

In spring of 2012, the world's tallest vertical drop ride will open in the park that has more thrill rides than any other park in the country, Six Flags Magic Mountain.
"Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom" is not only named after one of DC Comic's most dangerously intelligent super-villians and Superman's greatest enemy, but is also an integral part of the Superman experience.
You see, the Drop of Doom is attached to both sides of the iconic Superman: Escape from Krypton tower. While you're rushing towards Earth, you and your fellow riders will experience the thrill while Superman: Escape from Krypton cars are blasted to the top of the same towering structure.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox
Riders will sit inside a floorless gondola on one of two vertical tracks flanking each side of the Superman: Escape from Krypton tower. The cars are then pulled to the top of the 400 foot tower, experience a brief pause then drop at speeds of up to 85 mph.
After the five second freefall, you'll be stopped by a sophisticated magnetic braking system just a few feet from the ground.
Or maybe, the raised hand of the Man of Steel himself.

Best of Technical Support
Net Radio vs. Downloads
An engineer wants to listen to music over the Internet using
a 1MB, two-way DSL connection. Another engineer complains during this
session that his downloads are very slow. Now these two engineers
want the technician to monitor the network and show the percentage of
use of the music and downloads on this Ethernet connection.
The technician has Ethereal installed and resolves most problems with
this tool, but he finds it a poor performance monitoring tool. I,
being the technician, want to know if I am not using Ethereal to its full
capability in monitoring the network. Or, is there another tool I can
use to perform this function?
George Van Tuyl
A product called the Multi Router Traffic Grapher,
www.mrtg.org, when configured properly and in conjunction
with your iptables and other network settings, could provide the data
analysis you need.

router to balance the need for responsive interactive
connections with the demand for fast downloads,

Changing Desktop Environments
How do you change the default window manager on Red
Hat? Let me clarify. I log in with text, and when I
type startx, it starts GNOME, but I'd like to use KDE.
You can change the content of /etc/sysconfig/desktop
from DESKTOP="GNOME" to
DESKTOP="KDE" or
DESKTOP="WINDOWMAKER", and X will start the
corresponding window manager. The file that controls
which window manager it starts is /etc/X11/xinit; take
a look at it.

Hardware Specs for Laptop?
I am attempting to load Red Hat 7.3 on a Sony VAIO notebook,
model no. PCG-GRT 250P. I need to know what horizontal and
vertical sync values must be entered for the LCD screen.
Noel Haynes
From what I have found, your VAIO
should have a horizontal range of 27–115 and a vertical range of
50–160. My last suggestion would be
to install, say, Fedora Core 1 instead of Red Hat 7.3,
which has newer X versions.
I do not own a VAIO, but in looking around I
found this page that may be a good reference for
you: www.prongs.org/linux/sony/sony.html.
The page www.linux-on-laptops.com links to
configurations for many laptop models.

I'm working on digital image processing on Linux. I have read

Encrypted Cross-Platform Remote Desktop?
Does Linux come packaged with something similar to Windows 2000 Advanced
Server's Terminal Services? I have a Windows XP workstation that needs
to be configured to have remote access to a Linux server's applications.
The connection would be over the Internet—a VPN, perhaps?
Yes, there is a cross-platform remote desktop
solution. VNC for Linux and Microsoft Windows is
available under the GNU GPL from RealVNC (realvnc.com), and
there may also be VNC packages available for your
Linux distribution. If your distribution supplies
a VNC package, you should probably use it so that
the software will be easier to update if necessary.
See the RealVNC FAQ for how to encrypt a VNC
session using SSH.

Mysterious Freezing Hardware
I recently purchased a new computer for the boss,
an AMD 2500+ with a Biostar M7NCG motherboard,
1.5GB of RAM and two IDE hard drives. After a
couple of months, it began freezing once or twice
a day. No single application is to be blamed. I've
tried replacing hardware and even went so far as to
put the hard drives in a totally different computer,
which did not resolve the issue. What are the best
ways of troubleshooting such a problem?
Leroy Powell
First, this looks like a hardware problem, not necessarily Linux-related
though. Without specifics, it is hard to guess what is going on. Let's
suppose you have Linux in it, then when you say "freezing", is it the
whole machine that freezes or only the graphical user interface? Those
are quite different situations. I'd first look at the system logs. If
it is the whole machine locking, probably switch memory banks,
take some memory out and try the system. If the GUI is what freezes,
I would inspect the video card. Also, check for the latest drivers, or
a newer Linux distribution may solve your problem.
Felipe Barousse Boué
I hate to say it, but in a business, a PC that's
out of warranty and has an intermittent problem is
worth less than the time required to diagnose it.
Assuming your boss pays you a fair wage, he's better
off buying a new box with a longer warranty. Put this
time-sucker out on the sidewalk.

Binding a Key to Send a Signal
What should I do to generate a SIGHUP signal when I
press Ctrl-K?
Narayanan Iyer
You can use the bash bind command to assign certain
behavior to key sequences. The .inputrc file is
related as well. Do a help bind from within bash
or see the "shell builtin commands" section of the
bash man page for further information. Take a look at
for more information, or go to
for a hot key creation tutorial.

A recent survey undertaken by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to identify damaged portions of the century-old underground storm water drain and other underground utilities lying beneath the Peddar Road, shows four severely-damaged spots and drainage obstructions at five points. The damages have been identified on the stretch between Cadbury Junction and Jaslok Hospital.
The civic body has now proposed to carry out the repair of the 400 metre stretch at a cost of Rs3 crore in October after the monsoon is over. The proposal will soon be presented at the standing committee meeting for its approval. It has already got the green signal from the civic variation committee which is headed by municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte.
"CCTV images showed heavy damages in certain portions of the storm water drain due to continuous seepage of water and corrosion. Some of the spots detected are in such a bad shape that they can cause sudden cave-ins, unless repaired immediately," said Laxman Vhatkar, director of engineering services of the BMC.
Vhatkar added the work to replace the portion of the stone-drain with a proper cement pipeline drain will take at least three months to complete. "Given that it is one of the busiest road, the work has to be carried out during the night in patches of 10 metres, with the help of the traffic police, so that the traffic movement is not affected," he said.
Apart from the major damages, the survey also showed several minor damages across the drain. The arterial road measuring around 1.5km that connects south Mumbai to the suburbs has seen several cave-ins in the past, because of the damages in the 2X2 feet drain.
In 2009, the BMC had proposed to repair the drain, which never materialised because the proposed plan of constructing a flyover on Peddar Road never took off, said a civic official informed requesting anonymity.
Another portion of the road from Jaslok Hospital further down to August Kranti Marg has one such dangerous spot but and has four major obstructions in the drain. So, the BMC doesn't plan to undertake immediate repair of that portion of the road.

By Matt Martin
Tonight on Tangents, Dore Stein's Tangential mix will include the sounds of Natalia M. King's new album SoulBlazz.
Says Dore: "As a Francophile and an American, the singer, composer and guitarist Natalia M. King carries inside her the legacy of black music, as much in its groove as in its impassioned lyrics on issues of identity. Her whole album has flamboyance, carried by her pure voice: lovers of authenticity in search of a thrill, this album is for you!"

This was a great year for sports in the Savannah area. The Savannah Christian girls' basketball team reached the State championship game before coming up short against Wesleyan. The Savannah Sand Gnats reached the post season for the first time since 1996, after winning the first half championship. Georgia Southern made a run through the post season, advancing to the semi-finals thanks in part to the triple option offense making a triumphant return.

No matter how hard I try to prepare for every assignment, it's inevitable- once and a while things will just not go as planned. I was excited about the final Blues show of this year's Savannah Music Festival. I had a great vantage point for the show and was ready to enjoy some classic Blues. Jerry Portnoy and Ricky "King" Russell got things started and did not disappoint. Toward the end of his set Portnoy made his way off the stage and strolled along the aisle playing up-close and personal for the audience. After a short break it was time for the James Cotton Band.

Saturday night I photographed the Savannah High basketball team as they played their way into yet another State Championship game. Looking back over my time at the Savannah Morning News that seems to be how it has always been. During my first year as sports photographer, the 2000/2001 season, "the High" played in the championship game inMacon. Since then I have missed very few play-off appearances. Savannah High took the court knowing that eastside rival, Johnson High, had already punched their ticket forMacon.

After a Holiday vacation, I will be picking up my camera and returning to work this week for the first time in 2011. Looking back on 2010, I had a lot of fun and interesting assignments including the Circus, B.B. King, and State Championship games. I drove around looking for remnants of the first real snowfall the area has seen in years and I followed the President during his visit. I took pictures of Memorial Services and funeral of former Savannah State president, Prince Jackson. All in all, 2010 made for one of the most exciting years for me since working at the Morning News.

Have you ever had "one of those days"? You know, the days where your timing feels off, or you just don't seem to be in the right place at the right time. Things just don't seem right, I hate those days! Unfortunately, that's what I was feeling during the Georgia Southern-Elon football game. I just did not feel that I was getting the best photos to tell the story of the game. As I was talking about my "bad game" in the Press Box while editing, a fellow photographer said "well you have a lot fewer of those than the rest of us".

"Elegant "final touch" when used with the matching invitation. Happy with design and look. I changed the font to match the address font for a cleaner look."
"I ordered personalized address labels for our little man who has a 1st birthday coming up and sends monthly "letters" to his grandparents. They are the perfect amount of cute and with large font for even grandparent's to read. The only bummer is the light blue upper portion of the labels are extremely faint. You can barely see the blue. I would still re-order these though, I really like them."
"I ordered address labels for my home-based business. I love them! They turned out so pretty. The turn around time from ordering to receiving was so quick! I'll definitely be reordering!"
"The colors are vibrant, the printing is super clear and the size is just great. I'm very please with these address labels. Traditional address labels crumble or flake off when they become wet, but the quality of these are just perfect for mailing in harsh weather."
"The labels look just as pictured. The only changes I made were to capitalize a few letters. Several friends have commented on how nice they are."

Report of the Demand-Side Resources & Smart Grid Committee
This report summarizes a selection of legislative, regulatory, and judicial developments at the federal and state level in the areas of Smart Grid, demand response, and energy efficiency during 2010.*
A. Federal Activity
1. National Institute of Standards and Technology and FERC
In 2010, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) took steps to fulfill a joint statutory mandate to develop Smart Grid interoperability standards. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA),1 which lays out the policy of the United States with regard to modernization of the nation's electricity transmission and distribution system, mandates the development of a framework to achieve interoperability of Smart Grid devices and systems, including protocols and model standards for information management.2 The EISA directs the NIST to coordinate the development of this framework and directs the FERC, once it is satisfied that the NIST's work has led to "sufficient consensus" on interoperability standards, to "institute a rulemaking proceeding to adopt such standards and protocols."3
In January 2010, the NIST released a framework and roadmap that identified a number of standards that are applicable to the ongoing development of the Smart Grid.4 In October 2010, after further discussion with stakeholders and an analysis of the standards' cyber security protections, the NIST identified five suites of standards that it stated were ready for consideration by regulatory authorities.5
The standards and their functions are:
* IEC 61970 and IEC 61968: Providing a Common Information Model (CIM) necessary for exchanges of data between devices and networks, primarily in the transmission (IEC 61970) and distribution (IEC 61968) domains;
* IEC 61850: Facilitating substation automation and communication as well as interoperability through a common data format;
* IEC 60870-6: Facilitating exchanges of information between control centers;
* IEC 62351: Addressing the cyber security of the communication protocols defined by the preceding IEC standards.6
The FERC responded to the NIST announcement by stating that while it had made no determination yet on whether "sufficient consensus" exists for these standards, it was establishing a docket, RM11-2-000, for a possible rulemaking proceeding pursuant to EISA section 1305(d).7 The FERC stated that it would issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for comment before adopting any of the five suites of standards identified by the NIST.8 The FERC stated that while the EISA does not authorize the FERC to require compliance with the final standards, it might consider requiring compliance with the standards under its Federal Power Act authorities.9 In November 2010, the FERC convened a technical conference on Smart Grid Interoperability Standards and in December 2010 the FERC announced a planned technical conference in January 2011 to obtain further information to aid the FERC's determination of whether there is "sufficient consensus" that the five NIST families of standards are ready for FERC consideration in a rulemaking proceeding.10
2. Federal Communications Commission
a. National Broadband Plan
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has prescribed timelines for state and government agencies to process applications for authority to construct and attach wireless communications, or broadband, equipment on public utility towers.11 The FCC has gone further in issuing a document entitled, "Connecting America: The National Broadband Plan" (National Broadband Plan),12 which details steps to increase access by network providers to poles, conduits, ducts, and rights-of-way. Under the National Broadband Plan, the FCC intends to set: (1) lower and more uniform rates for pole attachments; (2) a timeline for each step of the pole attachment process, including dispute resolution, to be backed up with damage award authority if so enacted by Congress; (3) procedures for improved dissemination of information on the availability of poles, ducts, conduits, and rights-of-way; and (4) a joint task force with state, tribal, and local policymakers to provide guidelines for rates and terms and conditions of access to public rights-of-way. …

Spinal Stenosis is characterized by the narrowing of the spine, occurring in one or more of the following areas: the canal through which nerves branch out from the spine; the spaces between vertebrae; and the canal that runs through the spinal column, containing the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Generally occurring in men and women over age 50, the condition can be the result of the thickening and calcification of the ligaments that support the spine, a factor that increases with age. Bones can also become enlarged with age, which can cause the spine to narrow. Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to spinal stenosis. People who have experienced a spinal injury or who have a condition such as scoliosis are also at risk for developing spinal stenosis. Symptoms of spinal stenosis include back and/or neck pain, pain that radiates down the leg(s), numbness or tingling sensations in the leg(s) and foot issues.
Below you will find alternative and natural treatment options including those from a Chinese Medicine perspective for Spinal Stenosis.

Valencian nationalism
|The Catalan / Valencian cultural domain
Geo-political divisions
Government and politics
Valencian nationalism (Valencian: Nacionalisme valencià; IPA: [nasionaˈlizme valensiˈa]) or Valencianism (Valencian: Valencianisme) is a political movement in the Land of Valencia, one of the Autonomous Communities of Spain.
It advocates to reach the highest level of self-government, or independence itself, for the Valencian nation.

Rival types[edit]
So-called Valencianism has been historically split in two opposed movements bitterly divided over the very nature of the Valencian identity, something which is best reflected in the debate over the philological affiliation of Valencian.
For some, the Valencian language is a language by itself, no more related to Catalan than it is to other Romance languages. These are characterised by their opposition to Catalan nationalism, regarded as an expansionist movement that tries to impose Catalan language and culture in Valencia. In particular, a complete rejection of the idea of Països Catalans is central to this kind of Valencianism. This group is mostly (but not exclusively) conservative leaning and pejoratively referred to by their rivals as blavers. This mostly conservative Valencianist group tends to demand further self-government rather than political independence from Spain. Catalanistes (see below) typically accuse this group of not being genuinely interested in Valencian matters, but representing a revamped Spanish nationalism.
Conversely, the other part of Valencianism stresses the proven linguistic identity between Valencian and Catalan, then inferring a political project closely connected to Catalan nationalism which is more or less identified with nation building within a Països Catalans framework. This group is mostly (but not exclusively) left leaning and is pejoratively referred to as catalanistes by the aforementioned. Political independence from Spain is popular among this left leaning group. Blavers typically accuse this group of not being genuinely interested in Valencian matters, but working as a fifth column of Catalan nationalism in Valencia.
In between these arch-rival types of Valencianism, there are a number of even smaller splinters and minority groups which may adopt more or less eclectic Valencianist positions, but, overall, both movements are deeply opposed and point at each other as their main rival. Discrepancies go to the extent of not even agreeing on the name of the Valencian Region. Conservative valencianists may still prefer to designate the territory as Regne de València or Kingdom of Valencia, stressing its medieval roots (even though this term has diminished over time, having been slowly replaced by the official neologism "Valencian Community"). Conversely, left-leaning Valencianists prefer the traditional term País Valencià or "Valencian Country" (see Names of the Valencian Community).
The Valencian Nationalist Bloc (Valencian: Bloc Nacionalista Valencià, Bloc or BNV; IPA: [ˈblɔɡ nasionaˈlista valensiˈa]) is the largest Valencian nationalist party in the Valencian Country, Spain.
The Bloc's main aim is, as stated in their guidelines, "to achieve full national sovereignty for the Valencian people, and make it legally declared by a Valencian sovereign Constitution allowing the possibility of association with the countries which share the same language, history and culture".[1] For the 2011 Valencian Regional elections, they stood in an electoral new coalition called Coalició Compromís and won six seats in the regional parliament. For the local election of the same year they continued the coalition and won more than 300 council seats and at the 2011 Spanish General Election this coalition won their first seat in the Spanish parliament.
Development of Valencianism[edit]
In its origins in the second half of the twentieth century, Valencianism was a popularist and heterogeneous movement, which grouped together regionalists and supporters of Valencian foral civil law. Support for Valencianism has been strongest in the city of Valencia and in the areas immediately surrounding it.
The early Valencianists[edit]
It is widely considered that the first Valencianist movement was born in 1907, at the Regionalist Assembly, promoted by Lo rat penat. Based on the ideas of Faustí Barberà in his 1902 speech, "de regionalisme i valentinicultura", many regionalist and pro-independence think-thank groups were born. Basically, the early Valencianism had the Land of Valencia as their only national mark, but also worked together with the nationalists of the lands of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands promoting closer ties with those nationalities who shared language and culture with Valencia.
Fuster and his critics[edit]
The ideas expressed by Joan Fuster in his 1962 essay Nosaltres, els valencians ("We, the Valencians") were very influential among Catalan nationalists during the 1960s and early 1970s. Fuster's thesis was that the Valencians and the Catalans form part of the same nationality. In his words,
- "It isn't that the Valencian flag should be the same as the Catalan. It is the same. Same as with the language, and so many other things."
The Catalanist type of Valencianism originally stems from this analysis, even though it acknowledges it has been mostly overridden by the current political scenario, very different from that of the Spanish transition to democracy, when Fuster's ideas were most popular, though controversial.
Conservative Valencianism not only rejects the thesis of a common nationality (flag, language, culture, etc.) but also promotes symbols of a distinct Valencian nationality from the Catalan one.
The democratic transition[edit]
Some observers warned as early as in 1976 that the transition to democracy, and particularly the economic problems of the time, could radicalize the conservative positions of a part of the right.[2] The first public attacks against a perceived pan-Catalanism of the left-wing parties occurred in the run up to the first democratic elections, in June 1977,[3] and there were a number of violent attacks on left-wing activists and bookshops from this time on.
In terms of democratic politics, the party which most closely espoused the valencianist cause was the centre-right Unión de Centro Democrático (UCD), which was in power nationally (under Adolfo Suárez) but which trailed the socialists in Valencia and Alicante. The first speech attacking pancatalanism came in December 1977 from Emilio Attard, its leader in the province of Valencia. Manuel Broseta, another leading member of the UCD, published an influential essay "Paella and the Catalan Countries" a few months later, the first in a substantial series of anticatalanist articles to appear in the newspaper Las Provincias.[4] The UCD would defend, with some success, a staunchly valencianist position throughout the negotiations leading up to the first Statute of Autonomy.
Valencian autonomy[edit]
The Consell del País Valencià was established by Royal Decree on 17 March 1978 and held its first meeting at the Monastery of El Puig on 10 April. All four main parties—the UCD, the post-francoists of the Alianza Popular, the socialists of the PSOE and the communists (PCE)—were represented, and all signed a call for Valencian autonomy on 8 October, the eve of the Valencian national day.[5] After the approval of the Spanish Constitution in December 1978, the Consell approved the first draft of a Statute of Autonomy at its meeting in Morella on 9 January 1979: this draft has become known as the "Statute of Morella".
The political climate worsened significantly after the elections of March and April 1979—with some hyperbole, the period has become known as the "Battle of Valencia". The elections gave the left another majority in the parliamentary deputation (PCE, 3; PSOE, 19; UCD, 19) but gave the UCD the majority of seats on the Consell del País Valencià (PCE, 1; PSOE, 7; UCD, 10), which were assigned under a different voting system. It was initially agreed that socialist Josep-Lluís Albinyana should become President of the Consell but the tensions between left and right were such that Albinyana was ousted after a vote of censure on 22 December 1979. The UCD accused Albinyana of using his position as President of the Consell to bounce through a Statute of Autonomy without consensus, while the socialists accused the UCD of wanting to challenge the consensus reached at Morella. There were elements of truth in both positions, and the close balance of electoral strength made the arguments particularly virulent.
As a result of the tensions in regional politics and of a certain number of developments at national level, the Statute of Autonomy remained deadlocked throughout 1980, despite petitions in favour of Valencian autonomy from 529 of the 542 municipalities. The Valencian parliamentarians took the matter in hand after the failed military coup of 23 February 1981 (during which the city of Valencia suffered several hours of military occupation), producing a compromise draft Statute known as the "Statute of Benicàssim". It is this draft, along with a set of amendments proposed by the UCD and the communists, which was submitted for approval to the Cortes Generales in Madrid.
The Statute of Benicàssim was modified in favour of Valencianist held positions by the Constitutional Committee of the Congress of Deputies, where the UCD held a majority.[6] However Article 1 of the modified text, which named the autonomous community as the "Kingdom of Valencia", was rejected by the full Chamber (for, 151; against, 161; abstentions, 9) on 9 March 1982 and the text returned to the Constitutional Committee. A final compromise resulted in the name "Valencian Community": the Statute of Autonomy entered into force on 1 July 1982.
Valencianist positions[edit]
The positions associated with Valencianism have varied somewhat since the return to democracy, depending on the direction of the supposed "threat". Some Valencianists positions have become mainstream (e.g., the flag), some have lost their association with Valencianism (e.g., role of the autonomous institutions) while some have become more associated with valencianism, and more hotly debated (e.g., the Valencian language).
Flag of the autonomous community[edit]
The question of which flag should be used to represent the Valencian Community is at the origin of the name "Valencianism", which is derived from the Valencian "blava", meaning "blue". The origin of the dispute can be traced to Fuster's "Nosaltres els valencians", where he claims that Valencians and Catalans have always shared the same flag (the Senyera) and that Valencian groups who had used different flags in the years before Franco "knew not what they did" (no sabien el que es feien, p. 26). The Senyera in its simplest form—sometimes referred to as the quatribarrada—gained a certain (but not overwhelming) support in Valencianist circles, and was on view at the march in favour of autonomy of 9 October 1977.
The Statute of Morella proposed that the flag of the autonomous community be the Senyera with the royal coat of arms at the centre (those of Peter III of Aragon (1336–87), who did much to formalize the autonomy of the Kingdom of Valencia within the Crown of Aragon). This was adopted as the flag of the Consell del País Valencià on 24 April 1979: however the decision was seen as a provocation by the UCD,[7] coming as it did after elections which would have given the centre-right a majority on the Consell but before the new Consell could be constituted.
The more Valencianist groups seized the opportunity provided by the tense political climate: the flags of the Valencia Town Hall were burnt by demonstrators on 9 October 1979,[8] far from the only act of political violence that year.
The socialist representative left the Consell on 22 December 1979 and the choice of flag was reversed on 14 January 1980. The Valencianists continued to insist that the flag of the new autonomous community be recognisably different from that of any other, and particularly that of Catalonia (the Senyera in its simplest form). The Statute of Benicàssim proposed a new design, but the UCD representative on the Constitutional Committee of the Congress of Deputies managed to impose an amendment making the flag of the autonomous community the same as that of the city of Valencia (for, 17; against, 16; abstention, 1) which includes the blue fringe (the Senyera Coronada).
Since the adoption of the first Statute of Autonomy, the issue has lost much of its controversy. The use of the Senyera coronada has a wide acceptance within the Valencian Community, although some small groups on the left of the political spectrum (e.g. Els Verds, ERPV) continue to refer to it as the "blavera" and the Senyera quatribarrada can be seen from time to time, particularly in the districts furthest from the capital.
Name of the autonomous community[edit]
The question of the name of the autonomous community was initially seen as fairly minor compared to the debates over the flag and the powers which would be granted to the Generalitat Valenciana. However it became the issue which almost caused the rejection of the Statute of Autonomy by the Congress of Deputies in 1982.
At the start of the democratic transition Valencian: País Valencià, Spanish: Pais Valenciano (roughly translated as "Valencian Country") seemed to enjoy a wide consensus. It was under this name that the Consell del País Valencià was established, and it was this name which was used in the Call for Autonomy of 8 October 1978, signed by both the UCD and by the postfranquists of the Alianza Popular.
The blaverist view, minority even on the right at first, was that the term País Valencià implied an identification with the Països Catalans, an anathema to the valencianists. In the context of the political tensions of 1979–80, they called ever more loudly for the alternative name Regne de València ("Kingdom of Valencia").

Newbery Medal
The John Newbery Medal is awarded each year by Association for Library Service to Children for outstanding contributions to children's literature in America. Along with the Caldecott Medal, the Newbery is one of the most prestigious awards a children's author can receive. But although countless graphic novels are written each year with children in mind, none have ever won a Newbery. The reason may surprise you. Read More
A Wrinkle in Time in 90 Seconds
If you went to grade school (and had a slightly hippy-dippy teacher), you probably read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. The story, published in 1962, entails a bunch of misfits and the search for their missing scientist father through space and time. The following year, it won the Newbery Medal, the most prestigious honor in children's literature. And now, it's author James Kennedy's entry in the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival, which will feature 90-second video adaptations of Newbery award-winning books. Because according to Kennedy:
It turns out that any book, no matter how worthy and somber, becomes pleasingly ludicrous when compressed into 90 seconds.If it's been on your "must re-read" list for a while, maybe this 90-second version will convince you to finally pick it up. I laughed, I cried, it was way better than Cliff's Notes. (BoingBoing) Read More

Daniel BryanBryan Lloyd Danielson
- Birthdate: 05/22/1981 (age 34)

- Weight: 210 Ib
In WWE, Danielson is a four-time world champion...
On why fans should take Randy Orton as champion seriously after losing multiple "non-title" matches: "It's an old school philosophy. The champion losing non title bouts gives the impression that the title holder is vulnerable and ripe for the pickings."
On a potential Daniel Bryan vs. Kurt Angle match: "If both were healthy and the match was creatively presented as it should, there is no doubt that those two wouldn't have a great performance."
On how WWE should handle the upcoming event in Chicago without CM Punk: "The show must go on and hopefully it will have enough good content to help some fans move on so as to not to negatively disrupt the broadcast to an unwatchable degree."
On the recent hatred from the fans towards Batista: "I'd guess it was merely the fall out of the Daniel Bryan situation and not directed directly at Batista."

If the UK is to be a world-leading economy, it needs to be matched with world-class infrastructure... Future economic growth depends on a significant increase in airport capacity in order to encourage international trade and inward investment, attract tourists and increase employment.
We want to see the UK close its goods trade deficit from a worrying £9bn; we want to see British businesses shipping UK products all around the world, from Cambodia to Canada; and we want to see these exporting companies creating jobs and wealth. If we want to realise this ambition, we will need at least three, possibly five, extra runways over the next few decades.
Writing from London -- When I arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport earlier this week for my United Airlines flight to London, the check in...
Do any of the new proposals deliver on environmental issues? Many of the new ideas, such as noise compensation schemes and a congestion charge, aim to tackle these impacts but much of what has been proposed either misses the key questions or makes impressive promises on issues that are outside the control of airports.
Unexpected events happen all the time and even to airlines. However when something goes wrong in the system, air passengers often feel that they have entered a poker game with embarrassingly low hands.
If you live in London, you may find Heathrow and St. Pancreas two of the busiest points of departure from the city. However, there are better things to do in these ports instead of staying in the waiting areas if you've arrived early for your journey. Here are my top 3 suggestions to keep you chilled before crossing UK borders.
If we are to prosper and become a great trading nation once again, we will need to boost our airport capacity. We need modern airports with larger freight and passenger capacity; we need to be able to export British-made goods and compete against our European neighbours. No-one disagrees with this.
As an environmental campaigner I try to live as sustainably as possible and put my beliefs into practice. Skipping for food is, for me, an integral part of being both true to my beliefs and leading a truly sustainable life...
We're in the air en route to Lisbon for the first leg of a once in a lifetime journey around the world in fourteen days. It's early and whilst the team rest up before a day exploring the city, it seems like a good opportunity to reflect on where we are at.
In business, it is essential to be fast on your feet, identifying new opportunities and reacting to threats as quickly as possible. In public life, decisions are taken far more slowly, if at all, and, often, for all the wrong reasons...

The Politics of Women's Rights in Iran is most appropriate for academic law libraries. It could, perhaps, prove a useful addition to a law firm library as well, particularly for a firm that serves a substantial clientele from an Iranian or Islamic background. The text is written at quite a high level, which prevents me from recommending it for all but the most scholarly types who also have a specific interest in the subject matter.

It was set to become the next big thing after Facebook and Twitter. But Chat Roulette has become terribly twisted
Bored of Channel Surfing? Up next is Stranger Surfing. Keep an eye on your kids though. You don't want them logging on to one of those sites that randomly pair strangers over a webcam chat. But Chat Roulette (website link withheld to shield you from live pornography) is an interesting idea that's gone disastrously wrong for social networking.
It could've been the next big phenomenon for restless channel-surfing remote control addicts hooked to reality television but the website started by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old high school student from Moscow in November 2009, has become a phenomenon for all the wrong reasons.
From 500 users a day in November 2009 to over 1.5 million users in March 2010, parodied on South Park, and used by celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Kelly Osbourne, Chat Roulette was all set to become the next big thing after Facebook and Twitter but for one small problem — for some reason, all the sex-starved men around the world decided to hit that website.
Social experiment
As a purely social experiment, we made a few social networking regulars try Chat Roulette. And here's what they reported.
But first, a little about how it works.
The moment you log on to the website, it asks you for access to your webcam. The next thing you see is two windows. The one at the bottom shows you staring at your computer. The one at the top shows a stranger doing the same thing and, of course, you can chat but most of the time, it's a male hoping he'll see a female form at the other end and soon, the stranger disappears.
Why? Because, he's moved on to the next stranger to see who else he can find.
So how do you "play" Chat Roulette?
There are three buttons above the video windows. One says Play, another says Stop and the last one says Report. Hit Play, and the website shows you a new user. Hit Stop, it boots out that stranger and gets you a new stranger when you hit Play again. If you find objectionable content (and you are most likely to), you can report the user. According to the website, users indulging in obscene acts are blocked for 40 minutes when reported by three users.
But given the response from our dipstick social experiment, the Report button really hasn't helped clean up the latest social networking phenomenon.
"I had used Chat Roulette for a long time but am fed up with it. It lacks the magic that Omegle (another such website) has," says Ganesh APP, known as Sagaro, in geek circles. "I used to hang around Omegle when it started. Then, you could end up bumping into someone interesting and maybe have a decent conversation. It was a good experience, just like talking to a stranger at a train station who ends up questioning your belief and that was like Wow!"
"I have never had more than five seconds worth of conversation on Chat Roulette. Mostly, it is some guy unclothed or doing something obscene. That is when I realised the charm of Omegle where there was always a way to get people's attention. But Chat Roulette, now, is just a bunch of people who lack a life," observes the adventure-seeking techie.
Vijay S. Raja, who has used Chat Roulette and Omegle, reports: "If you truly need some experience of online video chat, try out Omegle.com. Yes, there are perverts there too but not so many."
"I was welcomed with an unflattering image of my unhygienic self chewing gum," says Mihir Fadnavis, freelance writer and blogger. "I'd have closed the window, had my interest not been spiked by a certain online ad with promising women. This was followed by video feeds of a random bunch of dudes, ranging from those asleep to those blinking confusedly or doing things I cannot talk about. It's like Twitter on LSD. At best, Chat Roulette would work very well as a Real Time tool AND as a peppy place to meet strangers, like on Facebook. Shuffling quickly between various strangers may prove exhilarating. And for those wanting to hook up, it may serve as a digital version of those 'group dating establishments' where one gets to meet and interact with strangers for 10 minutes each. However, the presence of adult content in the videos is a disappointment. I wonder if the site could incorporate filters like on YouTube."
Yes, it all sounds sleazy but is it the medium that makes it so or the users? It is a little disappointing to think about what it could have been. If only people used it for the four-letter word it was originally meant for – chat!

Freshman helps Mukwonago make first title game
Corey Wilson for the Journal Sentinel
Mukwonago's Bre Cera, who had 22 points, gets ahead of Arrowhead's Tori Miller.
Bre Cera sure didn't look like a freshman. In her inaugural state tournament game, the Mukwonago center outscored the entire Arrowhead team, 11-7, in the opening quarter of a WIAA Division 1 state semifinal, helping the Indians build a 19-point lead en route to a 64-44 victory.. »Read Full Article

Back in Israel, Netanyahu Stays Serious on Iran
Gives press conference in front of Navy-intercepted rockets bound for Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back in Israel, and back to business. He gave a press conference today about the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, standing in front of neatly stacked piles of Iranian-supplied missiles that the Israeli navy intercepted last week, reportedly en route to Gaza.
An additional 180 mortar shells and 400,000 rifle rounds sat beside the captured missiles on the Eilat pier where Netanyahu was speaking, bolstering the prime minister's stern message. An Israeli naval missile boat that took part in the raid was docked behind the weapons.
"(The world) wants to delude themselves that Iran has changed its intention to obtain nuclear weapons," Netanyahu told reporters. "All I heard was a handful of soft condemnations of Iran from the international community in response to this murderous cargo."
"Before it is too late, the world must awake from the illusion it is currently in and prevent Iran from achieving the capability to develop nuclear weapons," Netanyahu added.

Automatic transmissions have been around nearly as long as the automobile. They served their purpose, but for those who were looking for performance, the manual gearbox was the way to go. And the more gears in that box the better. Even though high gear is traditionally a 1:1 setup, having many gears to choose from makes keeping the engine in the meat of the power band that much easier. The "three on the tree" became a four, then five, and finally six speeds capable of handling whatever the driver/racer asked of it. Of course, this was all via a floor-mounted shifter usually using an "H" pattern. (more…)

'Stang Stop Tips – Baer Brakes Upgrade for Our Late-Model MustangMonday, February 14th, 2011
As any racer will tell you, you can't drive any faster than you have the ability to stop. Brakes allow you to have the confidence to drive deep into the corner, apply the brakes and drive on through. Our heavy Mustang (around 4,000 pounds in convertible trim) was running strong with plenty of power from the Magnacharger induction system, but required some help in the braking department. To the rescue came Baer Brakes. (more…)
Installing a B&B Serpentine Belt System and a U.S. Radiator Aluminum RadiatorFriday, February 4th, 2011
It's been said that it's better to look good than to feel good, but what if you want to have both? That analogy especially works with your engine. Everyone wants to have a mill that looks good, but it has to work well, too. And as if that weren't enough, nobody wants to spend all weekend bolting on new parts when they could be out cruisin'. That's why for our first installment of "Weekend Update," we are featuring the installation of a B&B Street Rods serpentine belt system and an aluminum radiator from U.S. Radiator. (more…)
Installing a Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension SystemFriday, February 4th, 2011
We admit it, we don't like leaf spring-based suspensions. They may have been fine when this now-radical RS Camaro was new and their shortcomings not so glaring given the stock horsepower, bias ply tires and drum brakes of the day all conspired to hold the car back performance-wise. (more…)
KBS Coatings Restores Your Chassis to Look Good as New in Your DrivewayFriday, February 4th, 2011

Some perfect examples are the 40-plus-year-old projects that grace the pages of this magazine every issue. Most of the muscle cars that we love to read about were at one time worn out shells of their former Detroit glory, in dire need of restoration. (more…)

Hotchkis Suspension Makes the A-Body Hang HairpinsWednesday, February 2nd, 2011
Pavement rushes under you as you bury the pedal and feel the horsepower glue your back to the seat. You push and pull the gears as you fly through the corners and the meticulously appointed chassis and suspension make child's play of the twisties. Upgraded big brakes keep the horsepower in check, but the power under your right foot is calling to be released from the stables and you force the throttle southbound and feel the rush as the tach needle climbs and your heart starts to pound.
Baer Brake Systems' Big Grippers for the 2010 MustangWednesday, January 26th, 2011
Horsepower and speed have been at the top of the performance food chain since enthusiasts were dropping warmed over V-8s in hot rods in the '40s. Today we are spoiled with fuel-injected and aluminum head-equipped engines that when topped with a blower fuel quick horsepower into the hands of the lucky pilot. Just as tire-igniting horsepower is paramount to the driving experience, being able to control and safely halt that horsepower when the performance blaze gets a bit too hot is also important. Stopping safely when you are pushing your muscle car through the cones or on the road course is important to enjoying the experience behind the wheel with confidence. (more…)
Installing a Spectre ProFab Cold Air Intake on a Camaro Street MachineMonday, January 24th, 2011
Look under the hood of any vehicle built after around 1990 and you'll notice one thing in common: They all have an intake system that pulls air from a fender well or from the front of the core support, supplying the engine with fresh cool air for maximum power and efficiency. Why? Because cool air is denser then warm air, which means there is more oxygen packed into every square inch. The higher the oxygen content, the more powerful and efficient your engine will be with every stroke of a piston. Cooler intake air becomes a denser charge, which equals more tire-churning power.

Building Blocks – Dart Machinery Has the Goods to Save You From Junkyard CoresThursday, June 10th, 2010
Building a stout power plant for your muscle car is usually the first step in the build. Calculating horsepower and torque helps navigate chassis and suspension set-up as well as transmission and differential needs.
When building a small-block mouse or big-block rat for your pride and joy there are a few roads you can travel. You can pick up a donor block and head for the machine shop, or you can purchase a brand new engine block from Dart Machinery and skip the worries of paper-thin cylinder walls from numerous bore jobs and potential cracks revealed after the hot tank and magna flux sessions. Consider the cost involved with using an original equipment used block. (more…)

Star Trek character. Jim Kirk's personal Yeoman. A bit of a dimwit at times.< read all 4 reviews
It was fortunate that the character of Janice Rand was of short duration. It was clear that she was to be Kirk's love interest but the series was so much stronger when the Enterprise became Kirk's true love. Roddenberry admits that he felt the show was stronger after she was gone and I find it impossible to disagree with that. The dynamic Kirk as an unattached woman chaser was a more effective character in the context of the late sixties.

Court appears conflicted over DNA sampling issue
The state Court of Appeals said King had "a sufficiently weighty and reasonable expectation of privacy against warrantless, suspicionless searches."
The Supreme Court is reviewing that decision. The justices will make a decision later this year.
Almost all the justices participated in the spirited back-and-forth with lawyers Tuesday - Justice Clarence Thomas did not say anything, as is his custom. And a decision may not fall along the court's ideological lines - for example, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia seemed at times to concern himself about the program's reach, and the usually liberal-voting Justice Stephen Breyer seemed to think that DNA cheek swabs were no more intrusive than fingerprinting, a position expected more from the court's conservative wing.
King's lawyer, Kannon K. Shanmugam, told the justices there's "legitimate expectation of privacy" in the contents of an individual's DNA. "An individual's DNA contains far more information and far more personal information than an individual's fingerprints," Shanmugam said.
But prosecutors argued that those arrested have less expectations of privacy than people not in police custody. An arrested individual "by virtue of being in that class of individuals whose conduct has led the police to arrest him on, based on probable cause, surrenders a substantial amount of liberty and privacy," said Maryland Chief Deputy Attorney General Katherine Winfree.
In addition to solving cold cases, prosecutors argued that DNA testing is needed to help identify the person in custody, just like fingerprinting - when police make ink impressions of suspects' fingers and compare them quickly to others kept by authorities and found at crime scenes.
With arrested individuals, the government has a compelling interest in "knowing who that person is, which includes knowing what the person has done. And DNA does that in a far more powerful way than fingerprints have done," Justice Department lawyer Michael R. Dreeben said.
If that comparison can be made, "I think that you would have a quite good case," Kagan said.
But Winfree said it currently takes 11-17 days to get results from a DNA swab, making it useless for instant identification. Winfree argued that technology will soon go into use give the police the ability to get results back from DNA swabs within minutes, instead of the days it takes now. But "can I base a decision today on what you say is going to happen in two years?" Roberts said.
"You can't demonstrate that the purpose is immediate identification of the people coming into custody. You just can't demonstrate that now," Scalia said to Winfree. "Maybe you can in two years. The purpose now is the purpose you began your presentation with, to catch the bad guys, which is a good thing. But you know, the Fourth Amendment sometimes stands in the way."
Justice Anthony Kennedy, usually a swing vote on the court, compared the DNA swab to police patting a person down after an arrest, something they don't need a warrant to do. "Does the justice system have an interest in knowing whether the person committed other crimes?" he asked Shanmugam several times.
"They have that interest, but if they want to investigate other crimes, they have to do what they would have to do as to an ordinary citizen. They have to have a warrant or some level of individualized suspicion," Shanmugam said.
The case is Maryland v. King, 12-207.

True story: I wore this outfit once, crouched for a long time, and then found a warp whistle. But then I didn't use it, because warp whistles are for chumps. True story.
I hate that feeling when you complete the game without getting all of the Chaos Emeralds and you have to go back to your room and listen to The Used while your mom makes grilled cheese sandwiches.
Not that I wouldn't jump at the chance to be joined in holy matrimony with Sub-Zero, but come on.
