PNP chief now on Twitter
More News from Jamie Marie Elona, Nikko Dizon
More News from INQUIRER.net, Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Philippines National Police Director General Alan Purisima is now tweeting.
@AlanLPurisima, the PNP chief's personal Twitter account, was launched Friday by the country's top cop himself, even as he struggles to type and look for the @ symbol.
It's his first foray into social media and he's not embarrassed to admit it.
"What's social media?" Purisima asked reporters when they wanted to know if his Twitter account was his first social media account. He was told that social media included Facebook.
"Ah Facebook! I had an account but that was fake," he said laughing. The PNP had immediately taken it down.
Reporters and photojournalists gathered around Purisima while his top lieutenants taught him the basics of tweeting on his laptop. "I am willing to learn this," he said.
One was overheard telling him that to find Twitter on the Internet, he must look for the blue bird ("Iyong blue na ibon, Sir") on the screen. Another pointed out where the @ sign was.
Purisima smiled throughout the quick tutorial, seemingly amazed at the wonders of technology. After he sent his second tweet, he glanced at reporters, looking relieved.
His first tweet was "Serbisyong Makatotohanan Para Sa Bayan." He followed it with "Follow me @AlanLPurisima."
As of 5:13 p.m., Purisima already had 248 followers. One had already sent a complaint to him about the vehicles in front of the Bacoor Police Station, which Purisima promptly acknowledged with mention of his course of action.
Initially, Purisima's account was locked, even if it was announced that it would be open to all those who wanted to follow him. After reporters pointed this out, his account was made public.
At a press conference, Purisima said that he wanted the PNP to maximize the use of technology to improve the police's service to the public by getting immediate feedback from them.
"We want to improve our services. As the chief PNP, I also want to know on a personal and official note what the people's sentiments are. Twitter can help me in the performance of our duty," he said in Filipino.
"We can talk here on a personal note," Purisima told reporters. I want to hear the feedback of our community."
He said his Twitter followers could send him any message they want. But he also directed them to the PNP's other Twitter account, @ireportangkrimen, where they post their specific complaints about the PNP. The PNP's public information office also has its own Twitter account, @pnppio.
Purisima said that he would encourage all the PNP's commanders to have their own Twitter accounts.
"Those who cannot go to the office and express their opinions can do so in the Twitter accounts. We should use technology to say what we want to say to our police, especially our commanders," Purisima said.
Purisima earlier said the idea of the police going online was prompted by a report showing a significant number of crime victims do not report to police due to several reasons, including the inaccessibility of police stations.
He said information and figures that could be derived from these reports could help PNP to come up with an effective deployment strategy.
"This also manifests the responsiveness of the PNP to the ever growing need for socially relevant information on matters of public interest," the PNP chief said.
Social media monitor Semicast estimated in 2012 that there were some 9.5 million Filipino using Twitter.

It's one thing to model for looks, but I'm assuming there will be things like tolerances for fit and different material properties to watch out for.

For our March Italy Blogging Roundtable, we threw a party! We were joined by fellow blogger roundtable COSI and talked about "authenticity".
Italy Roundtable: Lost at the Table
At this month's Italy Blogging Roundtable, we all get a little lost…lost in translation, that is…along with our new roundtable member: Michelle Fabio from Bleeding Espresso!
The Torta al Testo Taste Test
A head-to-head or, ahem, testa-a-testa comparison of three different recipes for one of Umbria's most ubiquitous flat breads: torta al testo. A special guest post by Jennifer McIlvaine of Life…Italian Style!
Italy Roundtable: The Hardest Thing
We tried. We did. We tried to quit, but we just couldn't do it. We missed our monthly Italy Blogging Roundtable date too much, so I'm back with Kate Bailward, Jessica Spiegel, Melanie Renzulli, Alexandra Korey, Gloria and to tackle this month's theme: cha-cha-cha-changes.
Olio Nuovo: One for the Bucket List
One of the foundations of Italian food, at least from central Italy and continuing south, is olive oil.
Sustenance: A Satisfying Guide to Food Traditions in the Upper Tiber Valley
There is no greater joy than receiving a book in the mail. Unless, of course, it turns out to be such a gem of a read that you find yourself thinking two things: 1. I wish I had written this book; and 2. I can't wait to share this book.
Umbria's Surreal Ideal City: La Scarzuola
A visit to this mind-bending "theatrical complex, with its adjoining sacred and profane "cities" which form a vast architectural allegory for the physical and existential journey through life, is a trip down a rabbit hole…

A visit to the Sant'Eutizio abbey in Umbria's Nera RIver Valley and a reflection on faith and patience.
From Chicago to Città di Castello: Arriving at Burri's Abstract Expressionism

Once More with Feeling: Finding Magic in Narni the Second Time Around
The last time I went to Narni, I went specifically looking for magic. I didn't find it in the town, but in the enchanting (enchanted?) countryside nearby. This time, I went to Narni simply looking for a fun time. And guess what: magic.

Buoyed by latest by-poll results, Congress has decided to choose candidates for ensuing elections in four states solely on inputs from the ground. In order to strengthen ties with the ally Nationalist Congress Party in Maharashtra, the party high command has asked to concede those seats to the NCP where the Congress has lost consecutively in past two or more elections.
Choosing candidates on the basis of winnability and from ground surveys means denying tickets to a large number of sitting MLAs, including ministers, as the party is fighting anti-incumbency in atleast three states — Maharashtra, Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir.
Source told dna that Congress president Sonia Gandhi has approved of Rahul Gandhi's proposal to pick up candidates on ground surveys to overcome local level anti-incumbency. The party vice-president has convinced his mother that there was nothing to lose in experimenting with new faces in order to re-build the party, as reports suggest a rout for the party in these four states.
In the last Lok Sabha polls Rahul's plans had gone awry when Sonia succumb to pressure from several senior leaders, chief ministers and general secretaries that the best bet were sitting MPs.
At a recent meeting of party general secretaries she told them that ignoring ground surveys and views of local workers had hurt the party badly. Also, those who worked against party candidates in the Lok Sabha elections would be denied ticket.
In the closed door Pradesh Election Committee meeting, Congress screening committee chairman PC Chacko also read out guidelines by Sonia Gandhi for the Haryana elections. In all likelihood, the same guidelines would be followed for other poll-bound states too.
Accordingly, state and district units have been told not to accord an undue weightage to sitting MLAs unless they are really popular. The dictate has caused a consternation in party nationwide as it means that a large number of new faces would be fielded in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and J&K.
The guidelines also include not to recommend candidates who lost assembly polls twice in a row or lost the previous election with over 20,000 votes or lost their deposits or secured third positions. While those coming third in the last elections are also to be avoided, exception may be made if the difference is less than five per cent in the votes polled by him and the winner. The guidelines also lay down that preference will be given to local candidates and women ensuring that those selected have a clean record.

'A Small Number' of European PSN Passwords Reset as a 'Precautionary Measure'
Posted on November 21, 2013 AT 03:33am
Sony has reset the passwords on a small number of European PlayStation Network accounts as a precautionary measure.
An online support coordinator took to the PlayStation official forums to assure users that this was "purely as precautionary measure and there was no specific evidence that any accounts had be compromised."
"We monitor PSN account for any irregular activity. If such activity is detected we will sometimes reset passwords," the post reads. "Only a small number of users were affected by this and as I said this was precautionary so there is nothing specific to worry about.
"I cant provide any further details as this would affect out ability to keep you guys safe. If anyone has any concerns about there PSN account drop me a PM or give PlayStation Support a call.
"You should also contact Support if you are unable to reset your password for any reason."

This is one of the toughest things I've ever had to write. But I feel compelled to say a few kind words about — shudder — a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta. Oh, this is gonna hurt.
Dave Hancock has announced his retirement from politics. At 59, and after 17 years in elected office and pretty much every position in cabinet from minister to premier, it must have been a difficult decision. He would almost certainly have won another term, regardless of how the next election goes for the PCs, and have enjoyed a very well paid (Read more…)

Some worry about survival; backers say initiative will help all
Jim Groth, the San Diego-based representative on the California Teachers Association board, said it is vitally important to business to ensure that schools have the support necessary to graduate an educated and trained work force.
"Everyone will feel the effects of Proposition 30 in a positive way," Groth said.
Also, the California Budget Project, an independent think-tank that advocates for the poor and middle-class, said business could lose if Proposition 30 had been defeated.
In a pre-election policy paper, California Budget Project analyst Hope Richardson said slashed state spending would lead to widespread layoffs of teachers and other government employees.
"Since these individuals and their families tend to spend most of their incomes — and spend them locally — budget cuts have a ripple effect throughout the economy," according to her analysis.
After the election, Richardson estimated that only about 5 percent of Californians who report business income will fall under the higher tax rates. The state Department of Finance confirmed that estimate.
Separately, the Franchise Tax Board said Friday that based on 2009 data, 47,874 business owners who were sole proprietors had taxable income of more than $300,000.
An additional 97,930 had taxable income of more than $200,000, but how many of those fell below the $250,000 mark was not available.
According to Kabateck, a small business making $250,000 will pay 1 percent more under Proposition 30, or $2,500. The rates then get progressively higher as income rises. For example, those that make $400,000 will owe the state an extra $8,000.
That's money that could be plowed back into the business by expanding investment, adding jobs or taking other steps to grow, he said.
Kinner, the bookstore owner, said in addition to the income tax hike, the sales tax hits in two ways: first, companies must pay that sales tax on all the goods they buy. Secondly, a higher sales tax could be the final straw when customers debate whether to buy or walk.
"The more money you take from the end users for taxes, the less money they have to spend," Kinner said.
The sales tax hike starts Jan. 1. The new income tax rate covers all 2012 earnings.

No complaints
Philter Shoe is an awesome shoe. I bought two pairs and have used both in different terrain. We were at Disney World for a week and I used them walking all day without getting blisters or feeling discomfort. They also got quite wet and the water was "philtered" out perfectly. Used them on the trail and even though the shoes are extremely light, they held up great with no complaints. Great shoe!

Sri Lankan Airlines on Wednesday announced it has joined oneworld, a grouping of global airlines, making the national carrier of the island country the first from the Indian subcontinent to join any global airline alliances.
Sri Lankan Airlines becomes the 15th global airline to be part of the oneworld alliance. Airlines such as Airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines and Qatar Airways are part of oneworld.
The airline has been in talks with oneworld for the past 3 years, according to the officials.
The airline said that it is expecting $25 million of additional revenues per annum with its entry into the alliance. The airline currently operates in 20 countries and 32 destinations with a share of almost 40% of the total in-bound passengers that flew into Sri Lanka last year. Post the alliance, the airline will get an access to 900 destinations.
The airline is also in the process of adding additional aircraft to its fleet. It currently has a pending order of 10 aircraft starting from 2014. It will take deliveries of 4 Airbus A350-900s.
The airline also announced its codeshare with two more oneworld partners – Finnair and S7 Airlines.
Apart from oneworld, the other global alliances include, Star Alliance and Skyteam.
Air India, India's national carrier, is expected to join the biggest grouping, Star Alliance, in the current financial year. Star Alliance recently said that Air India's induction is on track.
When asked if oneworld is looking at adding any Indian carriers, Bruce Ashby, oneworld CEO said, "We had conversations with India earlier. However, as and when we find the right airline to partner, we will announce. But we will certainly look at it."
Now grounded Kingfisher, was slated to become the member of oneworld, which would have made the carrier part of the alliance in the region. However, its entry was put on hold after financial problems plagued the carrier.
"As of now we don't have any gaps in our network. But if we see any airline matching the standards and quality, we will surely consider," he added, when asked if they are in talks with more airlines.
Currently India is the biggest markets for Sri Lankan Airlines in terms of volume while UK is the biggest market in terms of revenues. The airline is also evaluating adding more destinations in India. Currently they have 8 destinations, with about 70 flights per week.

In a major breakthrough against the gangs which are illegally selling skins and other parts of dead animals, the crime branch of Mumbai police on Monday arrested four men who were trying to sell a leopard skin for Rs. 4 lakh.
Ironically, two of the four arrested are sons of forest officials who work in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP).
Acting on a tip-off from sources, the crime branch on Monday laid a trap outside the national park, where the gang members were supposed to come to sell the leopard skin.
"After spotting four suspicious men outside the gates of national park, we sent our informer to speak with them. The gang members told the informer that the skin will cost him Rs. 4 lakh. We swung into action and arrested all four members," said Ambadas Pote, spokesperson for the Mumbai police.
Those arrested are: Anup Khaire (27), Prashant Patel (26), Tushar Bagwe (20) and Abhishek Rane (23). Fathers of Patel and Bagwe work in different posts in the national park. The police have filed complaint against the arrested persons under sections 39 and 51 of Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

Insulin Pump Therapy Improves Diabetic Control in Young People
Nov. 5, 1999 (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) -- Teen-age diabetics who use insulin pumps were able to reduce their risk of severe low blood sugar by 50% while maintaining better control of their diabetes than youths on multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin, according to a study in the November journal Diabetes Care.
Insulin pumps are worn next to the skin, and deliver a programmable dose of fast-acting insulin through a small plastic tube, or catheter, which is placed just under the skin. In addition, extra insulin can be given based on blood sugar level results. They are about the size of a pack of cards and are battery-powered. Newer pumps are easy to use and reliable, allow better control of blood sugar, and remove much of the hassle associated with multiple insulin injections.
"The young people in our study who chose to go on insulin pump therapy achieved and maintained nearly normal [blood sugar] control and had 50% fewer severe hypoglycemic [low blood sugar] episodes than a group of similar adolescents using MDI," lead researcher Elizabeth A. Boland, a diabetes educator at Yale University School of Medicine, tells WebMD.
The study involved 75 youngsters on insulin pumps, ages 12-20, from the Yale Children's Diabetes Clinic, who completed the 12-month study. Fifty volunteers used MDI. All participants received intensive educational and motivational guidance on monitoring and controlling their diabetes.
HbA1C levels indicate how well the blood sugar has been controlled over the past several weeks. Lower levels indicate improved control. Average HbA1C levels in the insulin pump group decreased from 8.4% at the beginning of the study to 7.5%at the end of 12 months, a significant drop. Boland says the youngsters on pump therapy also needed "significantly less insulin" than those using MDI.
"These results show that pump therapy is a much more attractive alternative than MDI for the intensive management of type 1 diabetes," says Boland.
Philip Levy, MD, agrees. He says insulin pumping is enjoying new popularity among adults and adolescents alike. Reasons for that popularity, he believes, include the publicity given the technique by Nicole Johnson, the 1999 winner of the Miss America contest, and the fact that insulin infusion pumps have become smaller and easier to use. Levy is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine in Tucson and chairman of the endocrinology department at Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix.

Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.

Anna Hazare said he would break his fast at 10 a.m. Sunday, The Times of India reported. Hazare, 74, a follower of Mohandas Gandhi, said the unanimous passage of the resolution made him "very happy."
The resolution pledges both houses to support the Jan Lokpal bill, which would set up an independent ombudsman to keep an eye on the government. Lokpal is the Sanskrit word for protector of the people.
The measure was first introduced in 1968 and quickly passed the lower house of Parliament but has failed to win approval in the upper one. Hazare began a non-violent campaign this year aimed at convincing Parliament to approve the bill.

GeForce FX Go5600 & Suse 9.0
Hi there,
I have this problem with Suse 9.0 and GeForce FX Go5600 which already many people have reported. Installed the 1.0-5328 installer in my notebook and the X going into black screen and crashed.
I would like to ask if it is possible for someone who knows these issues, to give a guidance from scratch as I feel very confused.
Except from installing 1.0-5328 (through the installer) and editing the XF86 file "change driver from nv to nvidia"and adding "load glx"is there any other edit that must be done? Any kernel alterations? Any other action to be taken? or that is all?
Also i would like to ask someone to assist on HOW to install the driver from that other site (I don't remember the name) which is enhanced for use with kernel 2.6 because I am not so experienced to understand exactly what is the meaning of the instructions given in that site.
I have found SO many but SO spreaded information in here that I feel really lost. Could someone make a "resume"of it all in a new post?
From A to Z?
Thanks for the attention
PS : I am not a linux geek. I just love its idea and I would like to support it, but day after day I come to believe that linux is only for experts.
The rest of us may stuck with windows (and I hate it)

Not enough time...
The living area of the cottage has a well equipped kitchen, comfy den, bathroom and a wonderful bed in a nook with big windows so you can lie in bed and look at the stars. The cottage is well placed for star gazing; the sky is very dark with no city lights for miles.
The cottage and grounds are very well kept. It's located on a quiet one lane road that makes for wonderful walks. I look forward to returning and spending a longer time enjoying the tranquil peace.

Spectacular, Quiet and Starry!
Our rooms were very clean, new locks and key, and everything was ready on time ( we arrived at 3:15pm). I would recommend the owner to mention in her description (sorry if I missed it somewhere, Janice!) that the bedroom does not have an internal pass through.. this is an unusual feature, and one normally expects a one bedroom to have an internal door. It was no big deal to us, but we probably would have used that room's bed if it had a pass through, and it might be important for families with young children.
If you are expecting hotel-like accommodations, you should stay in a hotel. This is a cottage (and we wanted just that), but people should know that they might have to put up with a few spiderwebs in the loft (our daughter loves spiders), the linens are a bit 'tired' though clean, and not all basic toiletries are supplied (we did miss having shampoo, but appreciated having soap). Thank you for a wonderful stay--I know we will return!
Quiet Beauty, Priceless View
Sunsets dazzle & entertain, leaving you transfixed towards the melting sun into the liquid horizon. Night is when the playful stars prove your lookout second to none. Dizzying dimensions unfold. Inky black nights allow these celestial beauties full canvas to awe inspire even the crudest of heart. Sleeping in the main alcove provides an added sensation if awoken at midnight of swimming with the stars.
Sunrises cast their brilliant light and cast soft shadows onto rolling hills and shimmering ocean. While the morning's crispness keeps you slumbered, dreaming of twilight's passing.
This stand alone humble cottage is owned by an Alaskan couple, Steve & Janice Tower. On site hosts are Ray & Barbara Bane, whose previous adventures are chronicled in "Going To Extremes" by Joe McGinniss (pgs 223-225) and available for interesting and inspiring reading.
Accommodations are available via website and by contacting Janice through email. Rate includes a full kitchen stocked with utensils, cookware & all the plates, cups & glasses you'll ever need and then some. Added perks are the wood burning fireplace, firepit, hot tub and BBQ grill. Flat screen TV, free WiFi, stereo & iPod docking station satisfy the tech inclined. And not to be outdone by the cat mascots, Gin & Tonic; charming additions to the homey aura.
However the most spectacular part of this cottage is the breathtaking scenery, allowing pensive moments of serenity that heal & inspire in ways I cannot express and perhaps transcend deeper than I realize; energizing my soul's renewal. Priceless moments that need not be read about, but experienced. Moments like these are few & far between. Quiet beauty awaits.

Why Watching Isn't Enjoying
What greeted me when I went to Netflix just now:
New Release For You!
Because you enjoyed:
- Idiocracy
- Swimming with Sharks
We think you'll enjoy:
- Visioneers
I hate this kind of thing. I watched "Idiocracy" but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it. In fact I was horribly disappointed by it. And while I re-watched "Swimming with Sharks" for this article, that doesn't mean I liked it any more than when I saw it in a theater in '95. Which is to say: Not much.
Hollywood makes this kind of mistake all the time. See, for example, this year's backlash against "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which, yes, many people watched.

- Make the batter (see 'Goes well with', right) but first separate 2 of the eggs and set aside the 2 egg whites. When the batter is mixed, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until they just start to hold their shape, then fold into the batter. Peel, core and cut the pears into wedges. Peel, core and cut the apple into rings and toss both in a little lemon juice to stop them going brown. Mix the cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 180C or in a wok until a drop of batter sizzles and turns golden within 20 secs. In batches, dip the fruit in the batter, then carefully fry in the oil until golden and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to drain onto kitchen paper, then toss in the sugar. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
