Susan Tsui Grundmann, Chairman, Merit Systems Protection Board
The director of the Phoenix VA hospital and two other employees are on administrative leave following allegations that the hospital delayed medical treatment to veterans. Note: they have not been fired. Legislation moving through Congress would make it easier for the VA secretary to give the boot to senior executives. Susan Tsui Grundmann is chairman of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which hears appeals from federal employees on personnel issues. She joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to explain how the law could change. Read related article by Federal News Radio's Shefali Kapadia.
John Palguta, Vice President for Policy, Partnership for Public Service
The problems at the Veteran Affairs Department continue to unfold. Meanwhile, the largest civilian agency lacks a Senate confirmed leader. We've seen this pattern before: troubled agency, departed leadership. Some come roaring back, some limp along. John Palguta is the vice president for policy at the Partnership for Public Service. He joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss how the VA can shape a more promising future.
Senate bill doubles spending on veterans' health
Spending on veterans' health care could double under Senate bill to cut long treatment waits
Lawmakers push to approve unified veterans' bill
After 2 votes, Congress hopes to send veterans' health care bill to White House
Yevgeniy Feyman, Fellow, The Manhattan Institute
The House and Senate have both passed bills to shore up the Veterans Affairs Department. Now they are in conference to reconcile. The final bill would give veterans more opportunities to seek care outside of VA hospitals, while beefing up the VA's own medical staff. The Congressional Budget Office has scored the VA bill and estimates the expense of the additional care would be about $50 billion. Yevgeniy Feyman, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss whether all the money will help.
Senate backs bill to improve health care for vets
The Senate acted Wednesday to help thousands of military veterans enduring long wait times for VA medical care, as the FBI revealed it has opened a criminal investigation into a Veterans Affairs Department reeling from allegations of falsified records and inappropriate scheduling practices.
Retirement programs, VA scandal, shrinking workforce
NARFE's Jessica Klement and Andy Medici from the Federal Times discuss a number of issues affecting feds, including proposed changes to the federal retirement program and the scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
June 11, 2014
Too many vets spoil the soup?
One of America's new guessing games is trying to figure out what went wrong at the Department of Veterans Affairs and how to fix it. Some have suggested the problem is that the VA has too many vets?
Jason Miller, Executive Editor, Federal News Radio
The Veterans Affairs Department will try to address one major aspect of its patient scheduling scandal by looking to industry for help. VA is planning two major acquisitions in the coming months. Federal News Radio's Executive Editor Jason Miller joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss what VA is trying to do. Read Jason's related article.
VA planning two RFPs to help fix patient scheduling problems
The first solicitation will address near-term fixes for the current application. The second one will look to commercial technology for a wholesale replacement of the scheduling application. VA says it will build off the contest it ran in 2013 where it awarded $3 million to competitors to develop VISTA-friendly scheduling software.
Congress moving to ensure speedier care for vets
Responding to uproar over delays, House votes for speedier care for US vets; Senate is next
Martin Matishak, Staff Writer, The Hill Newspaper
Leaders of both the House and Senate pledge to move quickly on legislation to help the Veterans Affairs Department treat the more than 100,000 vets who are either waiting months for medical appointments or have been unable to see a doctor. At a House hearing late last night, a top VA official apologized for the delays, calling them indefensible. Martin Matishak, staff writer at The Hill, joined Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss prospects for legislation and VA's future.
Rob Levinson, Senior Defense Analyst, Bloomberg Government
The Veterans Affairs Department now says more than 57,000 veterans have waited at least 90 days for their first medical appointments. An additional 64,000 appear to have never gotten appointments at all. One solution Congress is considering entails giving the VA more money to close the gap. Robert Levinson is a senior defense analyst with Bloomberg Government. He joined Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to take a closer look at VA spending.
Audit: More than 57,000 await first VA appointment
Huge backup: 57,000 vets waiting 90 days or more for first VA appointment; more never seen
More problems with VA scheduling systems revealed
The electronic wait system for keeping track of and monitoring initial primary-care appointments for new patients at Veterans Affairs medical facilities is not the only scheduling system at VA that's now under scrutiny. A separate system for monitoring VA patients' access to outpatient specialty care -- such as cardiologists, gastroenterologists and physical therapists is also "unreliable," according to GAO's Debra Draper, who testified before the House Veterans Affairs Committee Monday evening.

Julia Ziegler, Web Manager, Federal News Radio
What implications will the VA scandal have on other federal agencies? Many feds and management groups are asking that question as Congress considers legislation that would allow the VA to fire poor-performing employees. Federal News Radio's Web Manager Julia Ziegler joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss why the Senate might not pass its version of the bill today.

Burkina Faso soldiers in Mali worry about defense
TIMBUKTU, Mali African soldiers in the fabled city of Timbuktu worry their equipment, training and circumstances are not adequate to defend against another takeover by Islamic extremists who know the terrain as a double bombing by radical elements has also threatened neighboring Niger.
Burkina Faso soldiers officially took over at the end of April after hundreds of French forces left the northern Malian town several months after their military operation largely ousted the radical Islamic fighters from the area.
French forces parachuted into Timbuktu in late January to liberate the city from the radical Islamic fighters who had occupied it for 10 months. Al-Qaida's wing in Africa imposed their harsh interpretation of Islamic law, requiring women to wear the veil and carrying out public whippings. The French are now scaling down their deployment from 4,000 to 1,000 soldiers in its former colony by the end of the year, leaving other forces in charge.
But a report by obtained by The Associated Press this week indicates that some 500 soldiers from the neighboring West African country are facing problems with defense.
"Insufficient night vision capabilities and radio communications with the Malian army for coordination," are among the issues, the report turned in to the head of the African-led mission in Mali said.
Col. Gilles Bationo, who leads the Burkina Faso soldiers, also said that their second-generation night vision equipment doesn't allow them to see if there is wind, dust or no moon in this desolate area of the world. He said that the jihadists also circulate faster through the deserts in their vehicles because they know the terrain so well, making it difficult for the forces to capture them.
"Weak capacity engineering, the need for air combat assets on site, transport logistics," and shielding tactics are also missing, according to the report and Bationo.
The fight against the radicals is also hindered by an airplane runway that is blocked by trees.
"The trees around the airport prevent U.S. military from coming into the airport, and security is not guaranteed," Bationo said, adding that jihadists also can hide out in the thick trees to shoot at any planes landing or taking off.
He said that they also lack reliable electricity. Bationo submitted the report to Pierre Buyoya, the head of the African-led mission, in hopes the battalion's concerns will be addressed. Buyoya visited Timbuktu on Monday.
"The battalion is going to stay in place in Timbuktu and will transform into the MINUSMA which is the U.N. mission for maintaining peace around July," Buyoya said. "The Burkina Faso battalion will be made up of 850 soldiers."
Bationo said the situation in Timbuktu remains calm, despite frequent reports of robberies and inter-communal clashes in neighboring communities, but that amped up defenses are needed.
"The double bombing in Niger means we must prepare," he said, adding that an attack on Timbuktu is likely after suicide bombers in Niger detonated two car bombs simultaneously, one inside a military camp in the city of Agadez and another in the remote town of Arlit at a French-operated uranium mine, killing at least 35 people, according to Niger's president.

Did anybody else experience trouble with their Monos? Thy all felt like something was rattling inside the handle. How did you fix it?
Should TW ever consider a re-edition, I would order 4 or more of them. Also the PJ was simple beautiful.
Thinking back it feels like a childhood love
If you take off the butt cap their is a cylindrical lead weight that weighs almost ONE FULL ONCE encased in some silicone type of material. The silicone in mine had broken down into a slimy mush (Something I assume to be very common for this racket as my research has shown me). I cleaned it out and removed the weight entirely. This worked out great as the heat shrink sleeve and leather grip I installed perfectly counterbalanced the lost weight.

Monfils Cruises In Rome Opener; Tomic Sets Djokovic Clash
Rome, Italy
by ATP Staff|
French No. 13 seed Gael Monfils made light work of his opening match at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia on Monday in Rome, dismissing Alex Bogomolov Jr., 6-4, 6-1. Monfils converted five of his 14 break point chances and won 70 per cent of points on his first serve for victory in 79 minutes.
The 25-year-old Monfils is coming off a third-round showing (l. to Berdych) in Madrid, where he was playing his first tournament in over a month. The right-hander improved to a 14-5 match record on the season, highlighted by two runner-up showings in Doha (l. to Tsonga) and Montpellier (l. to Berdych).
Australian Bernard Tomic set a second-round clash with defending champion Novak Djokovic after edging Colombian qualifier Santiago Giraldo 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in a two-hour contest. The 19-year-old Tomic, who lost to Djokovic in the 2011 Wimbledon quarter-finals, is making his debut at the Foro Italico.
TV Schedule | Buy Tickets | Watch Live Online
World No. 4 Andy Murray will open his campaign against David Nalbandian after the Argentine overcame Spanish qualifier Albert Ramos 6-3, 6-4. Former World No. 3 Nalbandian has reached two clay-court semi-finals this season in Buenos Aires (l. to Ferrer) and Belgrade (l. to Seppi) and improved to a 14-9 match record.
Stanislas Wawrinka will face eighth seed Janko Tipsarevic in the second round after edging Dutch qualifier Robin Haase 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 in two hours and 15 minutes. The Swiss No. 2 reached the final of this ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tournament in 2008 (l. to Djokovic).
Italian wild card Fabio Fognini prevailed in increasingly blustery conditions, breaking serve five times as he defeated Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 6-2, 6-2 in 75 minutes. The 24-year-old Sanremo native recently reached his first ATP World Tour final in Bucharest (l. to Simon).
Fernando Verdasco was granted a place in the second round when his opponent, Alexandr Dolgopolov of the Ukraine, was forced to retire with intestinal pain after losing the first set 6-0. The Spanish left-hander goes onto face countryman and sixth seed David Ferrer.

Luke Cage has a problem, and Brian Michael Bendis throws virtually every hero in the Marvel Universe at the problem, which makes for an offbeat, engaging issue to read.
: "Blackest Night: JSA" continues to expand the saga of "Blackest Night" throughout the DC Universe. This series makes way too much sense, given how many potential Black Lanterns are in some way connected to the JSA.
Set up as a tie-in to the "Siege: The Cabal" this issue throws the spotlight on Taskmaster. Of course, with "The Initiative" once the spotlight is on one character, others find the footlights.
Straczynski is living out the dreams of many a fanboy in his time on "B&B," as he connects random characters. Saiz takes it from there and the duo delivers a book that is consistently enjoyable.
"Curiouser and curiouser," as Dynamite continues to explore the stories from other media that many a modern comic book reader grew up with. In this case, "Alice in Wonderland."

Black Alice is looking for a pack to run with, and it seems as though the Secret Six might be that pack, regardless of whether they want her around.
"Blackest Night" continues here with the "resurrected" Doom Patrollers raising hell on Oolong Island. In the backup tale, the Metal Men take on artificially intelligent mannequins, the Clique.
The Batman corner of the DC Universe gets kinda cozy and more than a little bit awkward in this issue as Batman and Robin -- Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne -- cross paths with the new Batgirl.
"Web of Spider-Man" continues to investigate the past of some of fan-favorite foes of Spider-Man. This issue focuses on the Rhino.
Just in time for the appearance of War Machine in the next Iron Man movie, this series ends. That doesn't necessarily mean the adventures of James Rhodes stop though.

David over at ironicsans shared this little piece of inspired genius with us: Google Voice Speed Dial Bookmarklet Generator.
Bookmarklets are little snippets of JavaScript saved as bookmarks that, before there were apps on the iPhone, did all sorts of wonderful things (editor emeritus Mike Overbo whipped up a smorgasbord of them a couple years back). Since Google Voice apps are currently forbidden in the App Store, David's solution works similar wonders for them:
If you're browsing the web on a PC, you can just hit CTRL-F or CMD-F and quickly find any text on a webpage. It's great for finding things fast, especially on long reams of text, and Safari does a nice job of it -- just not Mobile Safari on the iPhone, not yet.
We're running a new series here at TiPb (Titanium Powerbook? No, The iPhone Blog!) that brings older but still relevant/interesting/noteworthy articles, reviews, and blog posts back into the forefront of the discussion. Hopefully, we'll be able to uncover some great articles that you might have missed and offer further insight on everyone's favorite toy.
Also, it'll help transition our still new merger, PhoneDifferent fans will get a taste of TiPb writing and TiPb readers will catch up with what has happened in the PhoneDifferent world! Think of it as a blog within a blog or for the metaphorically inclined, dinnertime stories at a big happy family reunion..
Today, we'll bring back the topic of Bookmarklets. Mike Overbo, our Editor Emeritus, found that Bookmarklets extend the reach and capabilities of the iPhone's Safari browser. Essentially, Bookmarklets are small computer applications stored as a URL on your bookmarks bar. Examples would include a Find feature, IMDB search, eBay search, etc.
To use these Bookmarklets, simply store them to your iPhone's bookmarks and when you are in need of, say a quick Wikipedia search, open that particular Bookmarklet and it'll prompt you with a direct search screen rather than waiting for the page to open up. I use Bookmarklets everyday to quicken my online searching (darn that EDGE), take a look and see if there is anything you can use!
Read On For The Rest of the Links!
figure 1: the most important feature is highlighted
There's another password manager on the scene, and this one looks to be the most secure version that I've seen. 1Password is a mac-only application, so there unfortunately isn't a password manager I could securely recommend to Windows iPhone users yet. The application has a little button that sends an encrypted bookmarklet to Safari that you can then sync to your iPhone. You can open the bookmarklet and view your passwords with a master password that you assign within 1Password.
So, yeah. Favelets and bookmarklets. In the podcast, I promised a review article about useful bookmarklets and favelets, for the iPhone. And here it is.
I've written a few simple bookmarklets as well; it seems a lot of the bookmarklets are designed for web editors, and not always so much for the average web user. I'm guessing that not many regular folks need to edit CSS from the iPhone, and those that do already have those bookmarklets synched over. But still, there's a void for popular sites. It seemed that all I found were eBay, Amazon, and Google sites. So I set out to make a few of my own, and edit a few others so that they'd work on iPhone Safari (henceforth, iSafari).
If you have any requests for a custom bookmarklet, put them in the comments. It has to be said that I make no guarantees that I can make the resulting request as I'm not an expert with javascript by any means, but the worst that can happen is that I say no. Okay, that's not the worst that can happen. The worst is that I say no VERY IMPOLITELY.

Cosmology -- area of science that aims at a comprehensive theory of the structure and evolution of the entire physical universe. Modern Cosmological Theories Present models of the universe hold two fundamental premises: the cosmological principle and the dominant role of gravitation. Derived by Hubble, the cosmological principle holds that if a large enough sample of galaxies is considered, the universe looks the same from all positions and in all directions in space. The second point...
Redshift -- Redshift is the phenomenon that the frequency of light when observed, under certain circumstances, can be lower than the frequency of light when it was emitted at the source. This usually occurs when the source moves away from the observer, as in the Doppler effect. More specifically, the term redshift is used for the observation that the spectrum of light emitted by distant galaxies is shifted to lower frequencies (towards the red end of the spectrum, hence the name) when...

According to this theory, the universe expanded rapidly starting 13.7 0.2 billion years ago.

Cal 28-2 - Owners Group
I'm a new owner of a 1987 Cal 28-2 and haven't been able to find much as far as an owners group for this model. I'm having her relocated from Lake Lanier outside Atlanta to Lake Norman, just north of Charlotte, NC.
Most of the posts I've found through Google are old and/or dead. eMail addresses are no longer good, links are dead, etc.
My new boat is the shoal draft version of the C-28. I'd be interested in any facts, opinions, or otherwise on the performance differences between the two. I haven't seen that there's any difference in either PHRF or Portsmouth ratings based on the draft. Not sure if that means that the shallow draft makes up for time on the downwind legs or if there just weren't enough made to justify a rating.
At any rate, I'd be interested in hearing from other owners of this model.

The 3 C's – Common Sense, Courtesy, Communication
Ahhh the old question: where has common sense gone? Is it really gone?
In this day and age of modern technology, we are able to communicate and stay in touch with each other 24/7, with a plethora of ways in which to do so: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, BlackBerries, etc.
With all the new channels of communication, the basic human need for common sense and courtesy has not been outdated.
Face time with people is very important as this is how relationships are formed. There is nothing better than being able to meet with a client or vendor and have that one on one time. It lays the foundation and assists in building the bond over time.
Please do your homework when meeting with a client to discuss their needs, particularly if you have dealt with this client previously. It's simple common sense and courtesy. It also works the other way when a vendor is meeting you to discuss your needs. Case in point: You have a meeting with a vendor to review some work that needs to be done. The vendor shows you items with the old logo, even though materials have been created with the new logo. How would you feel? Probably not very confident in this vendor.
Taking the time and thinking things through really goes a long way with people. I know I appreciate it. Don't you? You can't always count on your client or vendor to hang in there with you just for "ole times sake".

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) has published the first two in a series of reports that will impact the future of residential energy efficiency in the Northwest. The Residential Building Stock Assessment (RBSA) is a comprehensive research study of energy consumption in more than 1,600 Northwest residential buildings. It will establish a regional baseline for single-family, manufactured and multi-family homes that will inform the region's future energy planning efforts.
The final RBSA sample consists of households across the Northwest representing the service areas of ninety-nine utilities: eighty-nine public utilities, seven investor-owned utilities, and three natural gas-only utilities.
NEEA is conducting this study on behalf of more than 100 utilities throughout the Northwest region, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. The region's utilities, the Energy Trust of Oregon and the Bonneville Power Administration will use the study results to identify opportunities for energy efficiency programs.
"Similar studies were implemented in the early 1990s, and since then, much has changed in the way the region uses energy," said Tom Eckman, manager of conservation resources for the Northwest Power and Conservation Council. "Appliances and HVAC equipment are now more efficient, the region uses more electronics, and many new types of lights are available on the market. Data collected from the study will provide critical support for the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's 7th Power Plan development, as well as updated load shape information for our region."Utilities, power planning and energy planning experts in the Northwest will also leverage the results of the RBSA to design energy efficiency rebate programs to help the Northwest meet increasing residential energy needs through energy efficiency. "Together with our funders, NEEA is able to coordinate research that will help utilities around the Northwest develop residential energy efficiency programs and incentives that best meet the changing consumption needs and demands of their customers," said Susan E. Stratton, NEEA's executive director. The first two reports in the series focus on single-family and manufactured homes and are available online at neea.org. These reports present a comprehensive view of the current state of residential single-family and manufactured stock characteristics through an understanding of the distribution of energy-consuming equipment and lighting. Some key highlights of the single-family report reveal that:
- About 57 percent of single-family homes use natural gas for space heating, 49 percent of which surveyed report gas heat as their primary heating fuel.
- Electricity fuels approximately 55 percent of the water heating use in Domestic Hot Water (DHW) tanks.
- Lighting audits indicate that total lamp (socket) count, across the region, is approximately 63 lamps per single-family home. This finding compares with the lamp count in the previous 2007 RLW study (RLW 2007a) of 61.5 lamps per home.
- About 70 percent of manufactured homes use electricity as their primary fuel for space heating, approximately 11 percent of homes surveyed report gas as their primary heating fuel.
- Electricity dominates about 90 percent of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) fuel use in manufactured homes.
- The average number of lamps (sockets) across all manufactured homes is 35 per home. The mean saturation of CFLs throughout the manufactured homes in the region is about 28 percent of all lamps.
- The study suggests uniformity in manufactured homes across the four states, largely a result of preemptive federal standards and the region's energy efficiency programs.

Latest Kaposi's sarcoma Stories
HORSHAM, Pa., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Centocor Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. today announced that it received a Complete Response letter from the U.S.
UCSF researchers have identified a new potential drug target for the herpes virus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma, re-opening the possibility of using the class of drugs called protease inhibitors against the full herpes family of viruses, which for 20 years has been deemed too difficult to attain.
HORSHAM, Pa., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on the data presented today, the U.S.
Scientists know that some cancers are triggered by viruses, which take over cellular systems and cause uncontrolled cell growth. Doctors – and patients who get shingles late in life – have also known for many years that some viruses, particularly the herpes virus, can lie dormant in a person's cells for long periods of time and then reactivate, causing disease.
In a series of recently-published articles, a research team from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered clues to the development of cancers in AIDS patients.
SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (PTC) today announced the initiation of two clinical trials of the company's product candidate PTC299 in adult patients with solid tumor cancers and Kaposi Sarcoma, a HIV-related cancer.
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. today announced that the Company has submitted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to the U.S.
Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) have identified a molecule called xCT which is found on the surface of human cells and is involved in aiding infection by Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV.) The virus causes Kaposi's sarcoma, a major HIV/AIDS-related cancer, as well as certain forms of lymphoma.
A new study has found that long-duration regular use of aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen) may be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
TUESDAY, Nov. 30 (HealthDayNews) -- The drug Gleevec (imatinib) has shown promising activity in AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, says a small study in the Nov. 30 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Giuliani Donor Fined
Monday, August 09, 2010 - 05:06 PM
A contributor to Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign was fined $30,000 in civil penalties to the Federal Elections Commission after he was found to have made contributions to the campaign under the name of other donors in order to skirt donation caps.
The contributor, Dr. Jose Valdez, is alleged to have funneled $11,500 to Giuliani's campaigns under the names of four other donors.

The Fun Theory, he said, was developed as a way to get consumers not just interested, but engaged and thinking about how being responsible could be fun.
The contest was promoted on YouTube and social media networks earlier this year. Launched primarily in Sweden, it spread to Europe and the United States, then beyond.
Swystun said it ended up getting thousand of entries from across the world.
"They came in [from] absolutely everywhere and they were some very neat ideas," he said.
Finalists included the idea of turning a set of stairs into a functioning piano to see if people would exert the extra energy to take the music-making stairs versus the nearby escalator. They also included a proposal to turn a bottle recycling center into an arcade-like game.
Swystun said DDB is continuing conversations with Volkswagen to determine how much father they can take The Fun Theory.
Speaking personally, Swystun said he "would love to see a continuation of the campaign because I think it has application in everyday life."
Richardson said he understands his project isn't going to revolutionize life on the road, but hopes at least some will take away his message.
"Of course people are still going to speed. But if it makes more people slow down and there's a positive reason to do it, it's better than always looking out of the corner of your eye and wondering if you're going to get caught," he said. "Focus more on the positive and what results you want, and not the negative."

Cricket fans from across the border are set to flock to Indian cities. At least 500 Pakistanis are expected to travel to each of the venues for the three One-Day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals to be played between the traditional foes in December-January.
A four-member Pakistani recce team, currently in India to inspect the facilities and security at these venues, has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to reserve at least 500 tickets at every centre for Pakistani fans. Besides, the PCB has sought 50 VIP tickets.
The request, of course, is different for Delhi, which will host the final ODI on January 6, 2013. The PCB wants 1,000 tickets for its fans in the national capital and 100 VVIP tickets.
"This is a Friendship Series and we are hoping for warm interaction between the fans. Pakistani fans will be here in numbers and we hope for a great carnival," said Nadeem Sarwar, spokesperson for the touring delegation. Bangalore (T20I on December 25), Ahmedabad (T20I on December 27), Chennai (1st ODI on December 30) and Kolkata (ODI on January 3) are other cities that will host matches against Pakistan.
According to the PCB official, the recce team sought some facilities for the fans. "We wanted hotels to be demarcated for Pakistani fans and for them to be provided certain concessions so that they don't face too many hurdles while they are in India," Sarwar said.
The touring team completed its inspection in Kolkata and reached Bangalore on Monday. The team was happy with the arrangements at the two centres. "We have no reason to be not satisfied. Everything is fine," said Sarwar. "Javagal Srinath and other Karnataka State Cricket Association officials were there and we had a very useful meeting."
On Tuesday, the PCB team will be in Chennai where it wants to interact with BCCI president N Srinivasan. "The tour could be possible only because of Srinivasan's effort and our chairman Zaka Ashraf's initiative. We had a meeting with Mr Jagmohan Dalmiya in Kolkata and we are looking forward to meeting Mr Srinivasan," said Sarwar.
The PCB team is accompanied by two BCCI officials, chief administrative officer Ratnakar Shetty and anti-corruption official Ravi Sawani.

Parents of 2 slain NY kids post feelings online
NEW YORK — The parents of two children who police say were stabbed to death by a nanny at home are sharing their hurt and healing with the world on Facebook as they make plans to carry on with their surviving child.
Kevin and Marina Krim spent weeks grieving their children's October slayings with relatives in their native California. In recent days, they have been postings messages online as they drive a recreational vehicle back to New York with their 4-year-old daughter, Nessie.
"She saves us every day," Kevin Krim, a media executive, wrote on Dec. 28, Nessie's birthday. "Marina and I couldn't be more proud of her — she is very smart, beautiful and tough."
Nessie was at a swim lesson and her mother had gone to pick her up when 6-year-old Lucia, called Lulu, and 2-year-old Leo were stabbed in a bathroom of the family's apartment a block from Central Park. Nanny Yoselyn Ortega lay nearby after slitting her own throat and wrists, police said.
Ortega, who is from the Dominican Republic, survived. She pleaded not guilty to murder charges and is in a prison hospital, undergoing psychiatric evaluations. Police and friends have said she was in debt, had lost her apartment and had expressed frustration the Krims didn't pay her more.
After the children's funeral, the shattered couple established the Lulu & Leo Fund to raise money for children's education and enrichment programs.
On the Facebook page for the fund, the parents write that they are doing things their children would have enjoyed and "hoping to experience some inspiring moments that will help us with our healing and rebuilding."
In Los Angeles, they found a gallery that displayed a mural by Leo Politi, Lulu's favorite children's author.
"Lulu and Leo were there in spirit with us for our Christmas Eve adventure," Marina Krim wrote.
On Jan. 5, the third day of their cross-country trip, they were in Santa Fe, New Mexico, visiting art galleries "that we are sure Lulu and Leo would have loved."
Lulu's art fills the Facebook page, along with photos of the smiling little girl and her brother. And now, there's also Santa Fe art the children might have liked: a painting of two bears riding a bicycle, another of three hearts.
Krim, who worked as general manager of CNBC's digital media division, and his wife, a stay-at-home mom, did not return messages from The Associated Press. A family friend said the Krims weren't ready to give interviews.
After last month's massacre of 20 first-graders and six school administrators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the couple expressed their feelings for those children and their families.
"Our hearts especially go out to all the families who have lost their children in an act of unspeakable violence," they wrote. "As parents who are dealing with loss and grief, we understand how much these children will be missed every minute of every day."
Online, hundreds of friends, relatives and strangers have been posting responses.
The grieving couple said they're hopeful 2013 "will be a year of healing, growth and peace."

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Beyond the Market launches a sociological investigation into economic efficiency. Prevailing economic theory, which explains efficiency using formalized rational choice models, often simplifies human behavior to the point of distortion. Jens Beckert finds such theory to be particularly weak in explaining such crucial forms of economic behavior as cooperation, innovation, and action under conditions of uncertainty--phenomena he identifies as the proper starting point for a sociology of economic action.
Beckert levels an enlightened critique at neoclassical economics, arguing that understanding efficiency requires looking well beyond the market to the social, cultural, political, and cognitive factors that influence the coordination of economic action. Beckert searches social theory for the components of an alternative theory of action, one that accounts for the social embedding of economic behavior. In Durkheim and Parsons he finds especially useful approaches to cooperation; in Luhmann, a way to understand how people act under highly contingent conditions; and in Giddens, an understanding of creative action and innovation. Together, these provide building blocks for a research program that will yield a theoretically sophisticated understanding of how economic processes are coordinated and the ways that markets are embedded in social, cultural, and cognitive structures.
Containing one of the most fully informed critiques of the neoclassical analysis of economic efficiency--as well as one of the most thoughtful blueprints for economic sociology--this book reclaims for sociology the study of one of the most important arenas of human action.

The Hummingbird Wars

2014, 11 min, Video, US
"A theatrical fiction, collapsing time and place: turn-of-the-last-century performers apply stage makeup as if for war, to engage in battle for the soul of the world. The injuries are more emotional than physical, but cut deeply just the same. A visual/aural collage film, drawing on sources as seemingly disparate as Ibsen's A Doll's House, Japanese Gagaku music, makeup illustrations for 19th-century actors, the biography of a Shakespearean performer, blooming and decaying flowers, and a World War I First Aid Book, The Hummingbird Wars suggests theater in a time of war, which is the theater of any time."

It is a search for a renewed consciousness, for reinvention, a 'what if,' the formal equivalent of asking a question expressed with a broken tongue—or not so broken after all. Mainly made with images from the January 1 issues of The New York Times since its beginning in 1851 to 2013, Broken Tongue is a heartfelt tribute to avant-garde sound performer Tracie Morris and to her poem 'Afrika.'"

The Innocents

2014, 13 min, Video, Canada
"Partially constructed around a shot-by-shot reenactment of segments from a 1966 Albert and David Maysles documentary, The Innocents features an image stream, an interview with Truman Capote's desire, and shapes that correspond to the former through the instructions of the latter."

"In 1843, Andrea Lezuo, a woodcarver born in Arabba, a town in the Dolomites, leaves for 'la Merica' onboard the ship Ehon. Through an anthological collage of heterogeneous audiovisual material, the film portrays the physicality of the voyage, as it traces an experience that is a sort of initiation." (GB)
Enduring Ornament
MM Serra and Josh Lewis
2015, 14 min, Video, US
"Sourced from five found 16mm filmstrips once used in coin-operated peepshow booths on New York's formerly seedy 42nd street, Enduring Ornament is a film that confronts the cinematic history of idealized patriarchal desire at its fundamental existence as celluloid. Making use of a salvaged industrial contact printer and chemical alterations applied directly to the subsequent photochemical prints, we have transformed these images from a privatized male experience into a primordial celebration of bodily spectacle. Threaded throughout the film is the exuberant compound word poetry of Baroness Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven, giving voice to an immediate and transgressive consciousness." (MMS + JL)
Kingdom Come: Rituals
Vika Kirchenbauer and Martin Sulzer
2014, 7 min, Video, Germany
"KINGDOM COME: RITUALS is a large projection of aerial footage that has been shot by pigeons equipped with lightweight digital cameras. With heavy wind and the nervous flapping of wings, the viewer gets only a fractured impression, though immediately identifiable, of a political demonstration. The signature elements of protest are captured only in glimpses: masses of people moving steadily in the same direction, banners, police, police cars, barriers, etc. The political motivations of the demonstration remain ambiguous as the images primarily highlight the mere shape of political protest. In RITUALS, political protest in public space is reduced, presented as a visually uniform and dramaturgically ritualized movement of bodies." (VK + MS)

"Catalogue is a silent 16mm black-and-white film that considers the time it takes to look at desirable objects, in this case, the objects for sale in a mainstream furniture catalogue. The catalogue presents de-saturated photographs of staged rooms shot and printed to resemble sets for film-noir era movies, hypothetically increasing their desirability. In these photographs the designer furniture knock-offs are indistinguishable from the original pieces. The film gazes at page after page of objects, each one exquisite and exquisitely photographed, minding the time it takes for the rise of desire and its dissolution." (DBD)

The Age of Animals
Gregg Biermann
2014, 40 min, Video, US
"The Age of Animals (2014) is a somewhat different beast (pun intended) in that it features not found footage but rather contemporary video footage Biermann himself shot in the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, the Vatican, and the Bronx Zoo. However, Biermann applies similar manipulations to this footage, producing a complex three-dimensional illusion in which foreground and background are forever trading places. Indeed, the visual experience of this film is akin to being trapped inside an M.C. Escher painting or riding a rollercoaster after taking a hallucinogen. Yet we can still see the documentary world though these disorienting distortions. In the Museum of Natural History, we see visitors looking at taxidermic animals lost to extinction along with the skeletons and footprints of dinosaurs and other bygone species. A sign reading "What makes the Earth habitable?" spins by, implying the fact that the Earth could very well become uninhabitable. In the Vatican, we see tourists videotaping and photographing the soaring ceilings dedicated to the Creator of animals according to Christian theology. The opposition between the spaces of the natural history museum and the church is emphasized through the soundtrack. This alternates between a repeated segment of sampled choral music, silence, and a recorded interview with paleontologist Peter Ward who laments the politics surrounding the discourse on global warming and evolution as well as the misguided notion that previous mass extinctions were caused only by asteroids and not by changing temperatures. The space of the Bronx Zoo, framed by the soundtrack and the other two spaces, reads not as a space of joyful childhood discovery, but rather as the last living relics of the coming mass extinction caused by human ingenuity and greed. Despite the visual distortions, we recognize tortoises, gorillas, giraffes, birds, and so on, but they, too, are barely recognizable in that they suddenly read as the last of their kind. Whether these animals are the product of supreme Creator or evolution becomes irrelevant if they are doomed to disappear. The very title of the film "Age of Animals" implies that the age can end, that there may soon be an age without animals. This film suggests that in the political opposition between science and religion, the casualties are entire species – perhaps all of them. As a whole, Gregg Biermann's recent work suggests a sense of the overwhelming in a historical moment in which we are disoriented visually, sonically, socially, politically, and even biologically. It reflects and refracts the sense that, even as we attempt to make sense of the contemporary world, it continues to shift, becoming a foreign and unfamiliar territory. In Biermann's work, as in contemporary life, our landmarks are constantly shifting, forcing us to find new ways of locating ourselves in a spatial and temporal situation that is ever slipping beyond our mind's grasp."

Sauerbruch Hutton Architects
Harun Farocki
2013, 72 min, Video, Germany
"Three months in an architects' firm in Berlin. From the architecture down to the tiniest door handle, a questioning of matter and the verb." (Harun Farocki)
"Architects at work: a priori nothing lends itself better to cinema, nothing is more graphic than shots that alternate between the drawing and the built structure, between the two-dimensional plan and the three dimensional result. Yet this film, with its corporate-sounding title, shot over three months in a large Berlin-based firm abandons this clarity to instil a generalised doubt — not so much about the value of those it films as about its own critical viewpoint. Certainly, it is no trifling matter that in one of their on-going projects (a Virtual Reality Centre in Laval), the architects are trying to merge the building into the landscape: the invisibility justified by the end use of the building operates as a clue to the fact that, in architecture, during the design phase there is nothing to see, and that actual construction is less a matter of a change in scale than a sudden, demiurgic leap where there is no going back. In this group portrait, the creators appear both as master rhetoricians and children playing with materials and colours. Through their changing opinions, what Farocki is questioning is nothing less than the relationships between word and matter — which inevitably finds a mirror of cinema in the renewed mystery of architectural art: producing form from discourse."

"AGED is a 45 minute experimental documentary about the relationship between aging and corporeal perception. From 2005-2011, along with my sisters, I was a caregiver for my father, during his swift movement into old age. Over this period I maintained a practice of diaristic sketching using film, video and sound, and through this process I collected a significant archive of intimate moments, at the summer cottage, where my father chose to die. This raw material has been worked and reworked through various modes of digital and filmic manipulation. Ultimately `AGED' uncovers the common process of aging, the cinematic elements acting as a corollary for changes in human perception with a view to exceptional vision." (PH)

"The title … is loosely based on a psalm, and Hempel accordingly designed her work as a kind of medieval prayer book, with animated miniatures, ornaments and text banners that wildly intertwine. The film recounts a man's traumatic life story using passages from interviews the director conducted with him–resulting in a work that is at once disturbing, comical and sensual, or, as the jury of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen put it: 'Horror and cuteness are inseparably interlinked here.' It is once again a tale about people and things that are no longer needed, about the marginal elements in our society, which however experience unprecedented appreciation in the film."

"Red Capriccio is an anaglyph found-footage film thematically inspired by the capriccio paintings of Giovanni Paolo Panini (viz. Ancient Rome [1757]), Thomas Cole (viz. The Architect's Dream [1840]), and Charles Robert Cockerell (viz. The Professor's Dream [1848])—which depicted fantastical, sublime, and dilapidated architectural landscapes—and is structured in the style of Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky's capriccio music compositions—freely formed from clashing staccatos and glissandos, and propelled by swift tonal shifts. The film's three movements depict a parked Chevy Caprice police vehicle, Montreal's grandiose and decomposing Turcot Interchange, and an empty basement-turned-rave room." (BW)

Grin Department rocker down with disease cries for help
More News from Ann Clariz Yap, Jaymee T. Gamil
"Miss, miss, sa loob ng jeepney, sana naman ako ay bigyang pansin," goes the line from the song "Miss U" by the rock band Grin Department.
It was about a man in a jeepney developing a crush on a beautiful co-passenger. The band gained fans in the 1990s with such happy-go-lucky, if not comical, songs.
Today, however, a serious medical condition plagues its frontman, Bong Pascasio.
The musician was recently discharged after a two-month confinement at Sta. Ana Hospital in Manila. He now awaits an operation for a chronic abdominal disease.
Pascasio, also a tattoo artist, has been struggling with finances since his house on Teresa Street, Sta. Mesa, burned down in December last year. An appeal for financial assistance and blood donors has been launched on Facebook in his behalf.
In a phone interview with the Inquirer, Pascasio said he had gone under the knife to have a tumor removed from his small intestines after it started affecting his large intestines and bladder.
The operation left Pascasio malnourished and almost unable to walk.
His fraternity, Tau Gamma Phi, and his friends have launched an online campaign for donations. Peers in the rock music circuit have also held three charity concerts.
Pascasio said he still owed the hospital about P10,000 for the blood transfusions and that he could use a little more help for his maintenance drugs and further checkups.
Those who wish to help Pascasio may call 0922-9339664.

The VT Spelling Bee, Now Even Better!
October 28, 2008
Since we launched the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee this past summer, we've been delighted to see how much you've all been playing it. The numbers tell the tale: so far about 500,000 words have been spelled by about 15,000 players. All of that player data has allowed us to improve the Bee on a continuous basis: every five minutes, words are rescored for difficulty taking into account the latest results from spellers. We've made some additional changes to fit the Bee to different skill levels, in order it make it an even more challenging and educational experience for players of all ages and abilities.

Re: nvidia driver very unstable on gtx260m
Seems like we have a similar problem in a similar lap (m15x 260m).
I'm running in openSuse 11.2, and I noticed two things in your logs:
1.- In the gentoo log, the xorg.log says:
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)
This message appears several times in the log (like +2
). Long time ago I had this problem with other lap... but can't recall exactly what was going on. All I can say is that it should be something with the installation of the driver.
2.- The kubunto has +- the same error I've noticed in my log:
[ 333.102478] Xorg[2698] general protection ip:7f3680ccb10f sp:7fff5ad89dc0 error:0 in ld-2.10.1.so[7f3680cbd000+1f000]
My log says:
[ 95.152705] Xorg[2004] general protection ip:7f2559c81f6f sp:7fffd6f71540 error:0 in ld-2.10.1.so[7f2559c75000+1e000]
I've seen some stuff about ld-2.10.1.so....+1f000 but did not read it, since is not the memory I'm going after. But it could help you, may be you should give it a try.
I've spent the last two days reinstalling my system trying to guess whats going on. And I'm pretty sure that it has to do with the driver or some hardware damage; I've started with a clean installation of openSuse + driver and the problem persists.
The sad part is that some days ago everything was perfect... and I can't recall what changes I've done, neither which driver version I was using.
I'll start using Windows 7 to check if is a hardware problem. But I blame driver :P.
Hope someone could help us...
P.S.: Sorry for bad English.
