Why is the U.S. MIA in Latin America?
- By José R. CárdenasJose R. Cardenas was acting assistant administrator for Latin America at the U.S. Agency for International Development in the George W. Bush administration.
U.S. policy in Latin America under President Obama has been mostly defined by a decline in U.S. influence and a languorous response to anti-democratic actions by a passel of populist regimes. Now we know the reason why: It's those obstructionist Senate Republicans.
That's the clear implication of an article last week in the Wall Street Journal, "U.S. Sway Clipped in Latin America," in which Senate Republicans are left largely holding the shears.
According to the Journal, "Republican lawmakers have been blocking many of the Obama administration's Latin American nominations for three years," and that, "The Republican strategy has left many in the U.S. government perplexed about how to engage the vast territory."
Both assertions are patent nonsense.
While it is true that the nominations of a new Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs and one ambassadorship are being held up and that another ambassador was blocked from returning to post after a recess appointment (a third nominee was redirected to Panama after both a Democrat and Republican objected to his initial posting to Nicaragua), that is hardly indicative of a three-year campaign.
In fact, prior to these current holds, the only Obama nominee held up by Senate Republicans has been career official Tom Shannon, who is now Ambassador to Brazil. (Senate Democrats blocked not one, but two of George W. Bush's nominees for Assistant Secretary for the Western Hemisphere.)
Secondly, the notion that Senate Republicans are hindering a more robust U.S. policy in the hemisphere mixes up cause and effect. One senior official told the Journal, "Obviously, embassies continue to work on important issues without an ambassador. But not having an ambassador muffles our voice. There are things that need to be spoken about. The bully pulpit just isn't as effective without an ambassador."
But it is precisely because the administration has failed to use ambassadorial bully pulpits in the face of the ongoing assault on democratic institutions in the region that has partly fueled Senate Republicans' current frustrations.
A particularly risible assertion is that a lack of an ambassador in Ecuador — the last one was unceremoniously expelled by President Rafael Correa — is hurting U.S. interests, because "Some point to progress being that was being made in bringing Ecuador's left-wing President Rafael Correa toward more moderate governing, particularly toward the business community, despite efforts by Mssrs. Ortega and Chávez to sway him further to their side."
Progress? In Ecuador? The only progress being made in Ecuador is in President Correa's systematic dismantling of separation of powers and rule of law and his unremitting war against the media, which the Washington Post recently called, "the most comprehensive and ruthless assault on free media underway in the Western Hemisphere."
Rather than being criticized, Senate Republicans — primarily Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) — should be applauded for trying to pressure the administration into injecting some purpose and energy into its hemispheric policy. Rather than attempting to placate angry leftists in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Argentina, the administration needs to be more vocal in its support for democrats throughout the region who feel abandoned by the lackluster response from Washington.
The administration has had three years to develop and implement a regional policy that serves U.S. interests and those of our responsible neighbors. Rather than being obstructionist, all Senate Republicans are trying to do is help bring that about.

Research Overview
In 1906 the Swiss Neurologist, Edouard Claparede, concealed a pin in the palm of his hand and greeted a patient with a handshake. The patient, who suffered from Korsakoff's syndrome and lacked the ability to form episodic memories, winced in pain and immediately withdrew her hand. A few moments later the episode was gone from her mind but the patient refused to shake Claparede's extended hand. When asked to explain her reluctance, the woman commented, "Doesn't one have the right to withdraw her hand?" The patient had no conscious recollection of the event but it guided her behavior towards Claparede nonetheless (Claparede, 1951/1911). This is perhaps the first scientic description of implicit impression formation-- the formation of intuitive, nonverbal impressions that exists independent of explicit memory for the episode on which the impression is based.
Now, consider the sentence, "Sally solved the mystery halfway through the book". Most people who read this sentence automatically infer the trait "clever" and subsequently rate Sally as more clever than the average person (although they will not remember the sentence from which this inference was made). These "spontaneous trait inferences" occur outside of conscious awareness and nearly two decades of research has demonstrated their ubiquity(Uleman, Saribay & Gonzalez, 2008).
But what is the functional significance of personality traits that are inferred subconsciously? Are they mere descriptions of actors or are they more sophisticated inferences that function as explanations for a person's behavior? Do people's consciously held beliefs about the causal determinants of behavior influence trait representations and does manipulating people's beliefs about the causal determinants of behavior influence the types of spontaneous social inferences a person makes?
These are the core questions addressed by my dissertation research. I use different experimental paradigms to test the hypothesis that traits and actions (e.g. clumsy-stumble, shy-blush, gullible-believe) are causally (not associatively) linked in semantic memory and that trait-action pairs are represented in a manner analagous to nonsocial, mechanistic causal concepts (e.g. spark-fire, acid-corrosion, etc.). Recent experiments measure the relationship between causal (versus associative) trait representations and spontaneous trait inference tendencies.

If it weren't for HC mode, I'd probably have stopped playing games like BC2 and the newer CoDs after two days.
...and I hate running across the battlefield for 2 minutes to get back into the action while some jack wagon on the other team hides in a tree and keeps picking me off before I can figure out where he is. I died like 10 times last night trying to get back to the capture points (playing rush), this guy was just camping the bushes but he kept moving around. With the 9 miles of fog on these maps its impossible to see anything without a scoped rifle and they have the power of a one pump bb gun.
This game is just so frustrating to me. At least in BO there is a kill cam, also you usually know who got you since the maps aren't 14 miles long with 9 miles of fog compensating for short draw distance and pop in textures that load as you move. I found the BF series and MOH to have really crappy game play experiences. They just aren't fun.

Yes, he'll kick up stuff to a right hander's backhand, but everyone does that. Heck, I do that and I suck. But generally he hits really hard, with a lot spin. The ball is heavy and kind of violent.
Indian Wells isn't peculiarly fast, but it ain't clay either; anyone -- including Nadal -- will try to take advantage of the lower, faster bounces of a hard court. On clay, he hits higher and slower, but good observation.
Anyone who saw a court level view of a professional tennis match could tell the ball travels lower than what you'd normally expect given the average height an amateur would go for. With that said, bear in mind that the net is 3 feet high at its lowest point and 2 feet of clearance means the ball is still travelling 5 feet above the ground, which is relatively high if you think in terms of an average adult body.

Men and Prevention
While individuals of both genders are perpetrators of sexual assault, the majority of those who commit sexual assaults are men. Even so, it is important to remember that the vast majority of men are not rapists. There are many things men can do to help prevent sexual violence. (source: RAINN, 2009)
Understand Consent
- Communicate clearly with your partner
- Don't engage in sexual activity without a clear "yes"
- Learn more about consent
If You See Someone in Danger of Being Assaulted
- Step in and offer assistance. Ask if the person needs help. NOTE: Before stepping in, make sure to evaluate the risk. If it means putting yourself in danger, call Campus Safety at 215-204-1234 (1-1234 on campus) or 911.
- Dont leave. If you remain at the scene and are a witness, the perpetrator is less likely to do anything.
- If you know the perpetrator, tell him or her that you do not approve of what s/he is doing. Ask him or her to leave the potential victim alone.
Be an Ally
- When you go to a party, go with a group of friends. Arrive together, check in with each other frequently and leave together.
- Have a buddy system. Dont be afraid to let a friend know if you are worried about her/his safety.
- If you see someone who is intoxicated, assist them in getting home safely.
If Someone You Know Has Been Assaulted
- Listen. Be there. Dont be judgmental.
- Be patient.
- Help to empower your friend. Sexual assault is a crime that takes away an individuals power, it is important not to compound this experience by putting pressure on your friend to do things that he or she is not ready to do yet.
- Encourage your friend to report the sexual assault to law enforcement (call Temple Campus Safety at 215-204-1234 or 1-1234 on campus). Any Temple staff will help you to contact resources to report incidents and to get help.
- Let your friend know that professional help is available for free through Tuttleman Counseling Services.
- If your friend is willing to seek medical attention or report the assault, offer to accompany them wherever they need to go.
Changing the Culture
- There are certain things in our culture that make sexual assault more possible. By speaking out and educating ourselves and others, we can help to decrease the number of sexual assaults.
- Become knowledgeable about the issue and share your knowledge with others.
- Get involved with a local rape crisis center and help educate your community about preventing sexual violence.

This time around, it's some Hulk vs Thor action.
But, before we get to that, we have two major first appearances, once that will stay with the book.
In Tales to Astonish 61, Major Glenn Talbot walks onto the base for the first time, as the Hulk chases Bruce Banner's stolen robot.
Then, in issue 63, The Hulk must face the Chameleon, as The Leader graces the pages of comic books for the first time.
And, in both, Betty Ross is referred to as Miss Brant. As in Betty Brant of Spider-Man fame.
Then, we move on to Journey into Mystery 112, in which we find out that there was more to the battle in Avengers #3 than we thought- Hulk had a one on one with The Mighty Thor.
Moving into the eighties, we have a flashback tale featuring the savage Green Hulk going up against Thor again.
And for Thor, it's a truly painful lesson.
For a great Thor podcast, i recommend THE MIGHTY THORCAST. Just follow the hyperlink.
Then, the main feature- Incredible Hulk 338, featuring a new villain on a mission of mercy, that could prove deadly for both Bruce Banner and The Hulk.
A truly epic episode, ready for your downloading pleasure.

Knoxville/UT panel to examine options for World's Fair Park
An eight-person panel whose members have connections to Knoxville's arts, educational and business communities will examine potential changes to the city's World's Fair Park. Deputy to the Mayor Bill Lyons and UT professor Jan Simek will co-chair the exploratory committee that will look at options for the park that hosted the 1982 World's Fair. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports one of those options is a new home for the Clarence Brown Theatre. The UT-based theater is in need of plumbing upgrades and more classroom space. City agencies, including the Metropolitan Planning Commission and the Public Building Authority, will work with the panel. Public input will also be solicited as the group's work unfolds.

22 May 2013 11:00 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Here is Wednesday's end-of-day Asia oil and chemical markets summary.
CRUDE: July WTI $95.47/bbl, down 71 cents/bbl; July BRENT $103.05/bbl, down 86 cents/bbl
Crude futures weakened in Asian afternoon trade, undermined by a firmer US dollar and demand worries in a well-supplied market. US oil industry data revealed an unexpected build in US crude stocks and a larger-than-forecast increase in gasoline inventories.
NAPHTHA: $863.50-865.50/tonne CFR Japan, down $10.50-11.50/tonne
Open-spec first-half July prices fell in tandem with crude futures. However, the backwardation widened to $11.50/tonne from $10.00/tonne on Tuesday. The second-half July contract was done at $858/tonne and at $877/tonne, while the second-half July/second-half August was traded at a backwardation of $10.50/tonne.
BENZENE: $1,300-1,310/tonne FOB Korea, down $2/tonne on the low end, up $2/tonne at the high end
Four deals on the intermonth spread between July and August were concluded at a backwardation of $10-12/tonne on FOB Korea basis. Offers for July loading were at $1,305/tonne FOB Korea against bids at $1,300/tonne FOB Korea.
TOLUENE: $1,135-1,155/tonne FOB Korea, stable
Offers for August loading were at $1,157-1,160/tonne FOB Korea, against bids at $1,149-1,152/tonne FOB Korea. For July lots, discussions were at $1,143-1,147/tonne FOB Korea.
ETHYLENE: $1,190-1,230/tonne CFR NE Asia, up $10/tonne at the low end
Selling indications were maintained at the low- to mid-$1,200/tonne CFR NE Asia levels, but buying ideas from some end-users were at below $1,200/tonne CFR NE Asia.
PROPYLENE: $1,330-1,350/tonne CFR NE Asia, up $10/tonne at the high end
A regional spot cargo changed hands at close to $1,340/tonne CFR China for June arrival. Selling ideas at or above $1,350/tonne CFR NE Asia were met with buying interest capped at $1,330-1,340/tonne CFR NE Asia.

A repository of extensions for GIMP, the FREE and Open Source image manipulation program.
This script allows to draw n rhomb around the circle in parametric modality.
Tutorial: http://xoomer.alice.it/lwcon/gimp/scripts/draw-circle-rhomb.htm
Windows binaries for the Abr brush loader plug-in byEric Lamarque.
Save all layers as TGA files, discarding alpha channels and applying layer masks as alpha if they exist. Name becomes imagename-layername.tga
This script is created by Joao S. O. Bueno at my request and I take no credit for it's development.
Appears in /Layer/Transparency/Copy Mask to Other layers of the Image window.
Apply other layers masks. Copy mask in active layer to all other layers.
This script is created by Joao S. O. Bueno at my request and I take no credit for it's development.
Appears in /Layer/Transparency/Copy Mask to Other layers of the Image window.
Merge visible using the active layer transparency to create a mask, visible layers below are discarded.
This can be useful in 3d applications to preserve texture maps that belong in the alpha channel by using the bottom layer's mask to hold the information.
Appears in /Image/Merge Visible with Layer Mask & Alpha of the Image window.
The script is useful to be able to easily compare and edit the two images of a stereo pair in the gimp, by handling the two images as separate layers.
1. This script bisects the two images of a stereo pair to change it into two separate layers.
2. The two layers are piled than by repositioning the right image above the left one
3. the canvas is cropped to the width taken by the two layers (the two stereo pair images) than (cutting the width into halve of the stereo pairs width).
This script finds and removes the white framing around and inside stereo pair images assembled with stereophoto maker with the default settings. (Tested and running with Gimp 2.4.5)
see also:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/8617, script to bisects a stereo image into two layers,
http://registry.gimp.org/node/10170, script to adjoin two separated stereo layers
Iconify2 plug-in converts a single layer of a single image into a multi-layered image ready to be saved as a Windows icon.
;The new image will contain all standard sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48) at all standard bit depths (16 colors, 256 colors, 32-bit RGBA), with transparency support.
*Note: Not fully tested though, so be sure to try it on an "expendable" copy of an image first.
**Tested on - Gimp 2.4.6
- Gimp Portable 2.4.6
this script adds an "anitools" submenu to the "script-fu" menu with entries useful for creating (optimized) animated GIFs:
create scanlines: paint every other horizontal line in each layer with the current foreground layer. this can decrease the size of the resulting GIF and some people like the look :-)
set image framerate: set the frame rate for all layers in the current image.
set layer framerate: set the frame rate for just the current layer.
I wrote this script using GIMP bug #88361 as inspiration.
This script provides three functions that expand GIMP's ability to deal with indexed colors. I designed them with pixel artists in mind, who frequently store their target palette as a set of swatches in one region of the image they're working on.
(Image) > Colors > Map > Colormap to palette
Creates a GIMP palette based on an indexed image's colormap, which can then be used just like any normal GIMP palette.
Unless otherwise noted, the rights for the individual plugins are with their respective authors. Logo image by Jakub Steiner.

For a Mac connected to one of AirPort Extreme's Ethernet ports, is there any degradation in speed or performance?
Currently the Mac is connected directly to cable modem.
- Asked by John G from Plano
QA AirPort Extreme Base Station
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
No. There should be an *increase* in speed/performance. The wireless operates at up to around 50 Mbs (depending on the version of Airport Extreme you have) while recent versions of Airport Extreme WAN/LAN (wired ethernet ) ports that operate at 1 Gbs. There can be a small loss of performance when the AE is functioning as a router but you can also set it up to function as a switch, in which case you will get whatever speed is available on the WAN ("in") port, up to 1Gbs.

Loomis Books
I just downloaded these PDFs because I couldn't find the actual books anywhere, wondering which order I should read them in and which are the most useful to a beginner who is trying to learn to draw, or should I wait until I'm a little better?
- Creative Illustration
- Figure Drawing For All It's Worth
- Fun With A Pencil
- Eye Of The Painter (I don't plan on painting until my drawings are better)
- Successful Drawing

Just a bump before bed and hope for a reply in morning, please, anyone who has read these books by Loomis give me some insight before I waste my hours away that could be spent drawing (very slow reader)
April 5th, 2011 #3
I think its best to complement Successful Drawing with a good and easy book on perspective, like Ernest Norling's "Perspective made easy". Reason being Loomis straight away jumps into the more advanced perspective principles which is daunting. And the perspective theories in Successful Drawing is really intense.

Eye Of The Painter is more about art theory than technique.

Yep, you should start with - Fun With A Pencil... ut teach you important stuff about structure and form before stressing you too much with getting realistic proportions, it still covers it but later in the book, and you should transition to the other books like arenhaus said.

Drawing the Heads and Hands in October
April 5th, 2011 #7
Just started the fun with a pencil book, and I feel like I'm stuck at the first hurdle, drawing the funny character heads, all the ones copied from the book just look wonky and out of proportion, and if I try to make my own I just get lost on which lines to erase etc.
I'm beginning to wonder if I could ever even become an artist

Just try to understand what he is trying to explain with all these examples, and do your best. You may not understand everything now, but with time and practice it will start to make more sense. Its ok to make mistake dont get discouraged. I covered at least 2 sketchbooks with only stick figures before i started to understand what it was worth.. i was frustrated because i could not draw these stick figures as well as loomis.. dont struggle too much with the accuracy of the line of the ''block-in'' or construction.. in a sense its only meant to be a guide, so dont get crazy erasing too much stuff.. draw lightly and keep copying the drawings from the book.

IMO, I think it's better to just draw from life and get those basic drawing books first before starting on any of Loomis' books including Fun with a pencil.
"Fun with a pencil" may look simple and easy for beginners but its' not.
The part on the ball / plane method on drawing the head in that book requires a super solid understanding of perspective which I myself is still shaky at this moment. Those parts where he adds those smaller forms to the cartoon heads requires a good understanding of form and structure. The drawing of those cartoony clothes requires understanding of drapery.
Cartooning and stylization is a step after realistic drawing, not the other way round.
Because he teaches mostly cartoon drawing in that book, and if you don't have a good understanding of realistic drawing from life and you jump straight into stylizing your drawings as cartoons by copying from his books, you may end up not knowing what you're doing.
Better to draw and study from life at this stage as your first priority, and if you want, play with that book in your spare time. Just my 2 cents because I encountered this same issue before. You're feeling discouraged because Loomis' books are too advanced for you and thus you end up feeling drawing isn't for you. Wrong! Try "Keys to drawing" or "Drawing with your artists' brain" (Carl Purcell).
I checked out your SB but the images don't show up, so I dunno what level you're, but you could very well be on the level of folks like Arenhaus or Jeff or DPaint or Joe Kubert, and if that's the case, I eat back all my words. LOL
(it's always like this: people come to CA to say they can't draw and when I check out their SB, their works are professional grade LOL! Better to advise with caution)
I'm beginning to wonder if I could ever even become an artist
If you quit now, you have zero hopes of becoming an artist.
Good luck,

Loomis Books
Start with Fun with a Pencil. Figure drawing for all it's worth, Drawing head and hands, sucesfull drawing. Creative illustration,then Eye of the painter. In using fun with the pencil don't copy as much as use his guidelines to work from memory. another good book is perard anatomy and drawing and vanderpool's book on drawing. Just using perard and loomis I am working on being able to draw the figure in any position from memory . Look at mentlers work on this site as it is full of good information. Do hope they republish loomis' books so they will get into the hands of people that can use them without being ripped off paying collector prices for needed information.

Saw that drawing of the hand. Not bad considering you've only drawn for a week! If it's any consolation, I wasn't even anywhere close when I first started out.
It's best to start with simple still life objects (boxes, books etc.) and then slowly proceed to more organic-looking objects (shoes, leaf, flower) and then take it on from there.
Just make sure to study perspective as well. Seedling here has a Perspective 101 thread. Try searching for it.

I did Fun with a Pencil first then Successful Drawing and I think it works best that way because you get a reminder to have fun drawing while your doing studies. Xeon is right, the perspective techniques in Successful Drawing can get daunting but they are extremely valuable to add to your skill set.

Don't read them page by page, use them for reference. Chances are you will be going back over and over again anyway because you forgot something. Also, Loomis doesn't use perfect English in the jotted notes, so reading it page to page might not be wise. Scroll through the PDF until you find something related to what you want to find out about and read it.

I already pre-ordered my figure drawing one back in March or so.
My Sketchbook
And then God said, "Let us make man in our likeness and our image. Let us make him ridiculously hard to draw so that poor artists everywhere will have to spend 10,000+ hours failing repeatedly before they can begin to capture the form and likeness onto a two-dimensional surface." And there was man. And it was good. And artists everywhere lost their minds.

So does this mean all the sites we sent beginners to so they can download the books won't be online any more (or even if they are, site rules would forbid us providing links)? Much as I like the idea of having physical copies I'm afraid it might be just that slight bit harder to help artists just starting out get to the information they need.

05 June 2013 08:39 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China Offshore Oil & Gas (Taizhou) will resume bitumen production at its 1.5m tonne/year crude distillation unit (CDU) at Taizhou in Jiangsu province on 6 June after completing its routine maintenance, a company source said on Wednesday.
The CDU was shut on 27 May for turnaround, according to the source.
The refiner will produce AH-70/90 bitumen after the restart, the source said, without disclosing its specific daily output plan.
In May, the company mainly produced AH-70 bitumen, with an daily output of 1,500-1,600 tonnes.
Besides bitumen, China Offshore Oil & Gas (Taizhou) also produces industrial fuel oil and residue.

During the severe drought of 2012, some local residents got a taste of the hardships of living without enough water.
Center Grove area residents were told not to water lawns and conserve water at home when the Bargersville Utilities plant couldn't produce enough water. White River Township Fire Department arranged for other departments to bring in tankers in the event of a large fire because water towers were running near empty. And residents in rural parts of Hensley Township were forced to drive to water plants to fill up plastic drums because their wells were dry.
Johnson County sits along a dividing line in the state, between the northern half, which has plentiful water, and the southern half, where water is more scarce. Across the county, water supplies vary widely. For example, around Edinburgh, water wells can pull upward of 600 gallons per minute out of the ground. Travel a few miles west toward Trafalgar, however, and you'll find spots where getting 10 gallons per minute is a challenge.

Capuano pitches Dodgers to 3-1 win over Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. The more runners that are on base, the better Chris Capuano seems to pitch. The Los Angeles Angels found out the hard way how much the Dodgers' left-hander digs in when he is in trouble.
Capuano outdueled Ervin Santana with seven gritty innings, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory on Saturday in Game 2 of their "Freeway Series" revival and helping end the NL West leaders' four-game losing streak.
"He does a really good job of making pitches." batterymate A.J. Ellis said. "When guys are on base, the opposing hitters are a little more aggressive. And that plays into Cappy's hands because of his ability to throw his off-speed stuff. Cappy's been amazing, the way he's been throwing the ball - and it started in spring training. He has a lot more velocity on his fastball. And when he has that, it makes all his off-speed stuff better."
Capuano (9-2) allowed a run and seven hits, struck out four and walked none while lowering his ERA from 2.71 to 2.51. The eight-year veteran worked with runners on base in every inning except the second, giving up a leadoff hit in each of his last four innings. He also benefited from a late-afternoon starting time for national television.
"He was mixing his pitches in and out and keeping us off-balance," Angels slugger Albert Pujols said. "He threw a great game. He kept the ball down, made the pitches when he needed to and got a couple of double plays. But it was also pretty tough to see the ball after the second inning with those shadows out there. I'm not making any excuses, but you should have seen the way both sides were taking swings. It was ridiculous. But you can't take anything away from Capuano."
Ronald Belisario pitched a scoreless eighth and Kenley Jansen worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 15 chances.
The Dodgers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first with the help of throwing errors by the Angels' infield. Dee Gordon singled, stole second on a pitchout and advanced on grounder wide of first base by Jerry Hairston Jr. Pujols went for the lead runner instead of the sure out, but his low throw skipped off Gordon as he slid into third and Gordon continued home.
"That's a play that I make a lot," said Pujols, who made a similar gambit in Game 4 of year's NLDS to help St. Louis beat Philadelphia. "I saw him in the corner of my eye, and I figured if I throw him out right there, they don't score that inning. It was a gamble play. I know it's early in the game, but that isn't going to take any aggressiveness out of me.
"If it happens again tomorrow and I've got an opportunity, I'm going to try to do it again. This isn't going to stop the way I play the game. ... If I make that play, it's a great play. But it didn't work out."

Voipswitch Now Interoperable With Sangoma's NetBorder Expres Gateway
Sangoma Technologies (TSX VENTURE:STC) today announced the completion of
successful interoperability tests between the companies' product lines.
Voipswitch's award-winning softswitch, and Sangoma's NetBorder Express
Gateway are both based on the SIP communication protocol for Voice-over-IP.
This successful validation of interoperability which included
comprehensive functionality and stability tests ensures that users of the
Voipswitch software can now select Sangoma's NetBorder Express Gateway as a
gateway device to create cost-effective switching applications.
"The combination of Sangoma's NetBorder Express Gateway and Voipswitch
Softswitch provides a robust and reliable PSTN switching platform," said
Dr.Chris Oglaza CTO Voiceserve Inc. "The boards are available in different
configurations with ISDN E1/T1 ports as well as analogue ports. NetBorder
Express provides in addition a set of management tools which allow for
seamless configuration with voipswitch."
"We are thrilled to bring our wide range of telephony connectivity
options to users of the Voipswitch software. NetBorder Express TDM-to-SIP
Gateway solution in combination with Voipswitch's software makes a great
switching platform for networks of all types", said
of Product Management at Sangoma.
This additional facility now available for Voipswitch clientele, the use
of Sangoma hardware cards, enables its customers to deploy PSTN trunks with
extremely modest costs. The Sangoma board is simply inserted into the
Voipswitch server. Clients will not need any expensive external gateways. The
calling card, wholesale termination and IP PBX scenarios will be enhanced
dramatically with the NetBorder Express Gateway installed. Also, having a
Sangoma board will act as a secure backup in the event that the internet link
is severed, thus permitting traffic to pass through PSTN trunks.

"Quality paper and much larger than expected. Beautiful color printing.. Added three images and they are all very crisp and clear. Love it all around. Such a deal for the quality!"
"We chose this design because of the simplicity. It wasn't too frilly or busy. Just simple. It turned out great. We went with the signature Matte after reading other reviews... it was perfect. I liked how heavy the paper was, and our image, which was very bright colorful turned out looking great. I had friends comment on how great the card turned out. I was a little disappointed in the printing, there was a very faint stripe that went down the center of each of my cards, as if the printer was running out of ink. However, it was very slight, and I probably only noticed it because I was looking for any problems. I'm not sure anyone else would look close enough to notice it."
"This was an announcement for the birth of our second child. I chose the pearl finish and it exceeded what I had in mind when it arrived! I also ordered on a Tuesday and the prints were here by Friday!! Super fast delivery! I will recommend to everyone!"
"I used navy/gray colors with black&white pictures. The paper was semigloss. It really looked elegant and simple. I just love it! I received many compliments from ALL My recipients."
"I personalized the cards to look very similar to the one pictured and they came out beautifully. The quality is great and they were adorable... heard from so many family and friends that they loved them. I couldn't choose just one picture, so I love the option of adding photos to the back, which I did!"

I had my 30yo Lewmar 40s hard chromed two years ago and they look fantastic. Nassau Chromium in Mineola, NY did them -- wasn't cheap (about $300 for the pair, IIRC) but they look like new. No flaking/chipping and a deep, wet-look finish. I'm not a chrome/bling guy and probably would go with grey anodized if I were replacing, but these were originally chrome with roughly 50% or more worn off, and re-chroming brought them to like-new condition. FTR, I keep them under covers when we're not sailing.
Some have suggested going to a custom motorcycle shop. Some larger places wait until they have a number of smaller jobs and do them together instead of doing them individually. I had to wait about a month to get them back.

Arm tags switched "accidentally"
One of the mothers refuses to accept girl child
CHENNAI: A bizarre turn of events frustrated the joy of two mothers who gave birth to babies within 20 minutes of each other: hospital staff had mixed up the newborns.
For several hours on Friday morning, tension prevailed at the Government RSRM Hospital in Royapuram, with the parents demanding that hospital authorities establish the parentage of each child.
The mothers, Kamakshi and Farida, had developed complications and undergone Caesarian sections on Thursday.
As per hospital records, Kamakshi was delivered of a girl baby and Farida, of a boy.
Resident Medical Officer K. Hebzibah said an announcement was made over the hospital's public address system about the sex of each child immediately after birth.
This information was recorded in six different hospital registers.
Arm tags were fixed, as per procedure, on the mothers, and the babies were given coordinated numbers. Confusion set in after the babies were taken to the mothers after a bath.
Initial enquiries revealed that the tags on the babies' arms were switched "accidentally" after the bath.
The boy was taken to Kamakshi and the girl was taken to Farida. The mothers fed the respective babies.
The mistake was discovered by the hospital authorities themselves, who then informed the mothers.
While Farida agreed, Kamakshi insisted that she had given birth to a boy and refused to accept the girl child. Dr. Hepzibah said the only option was a DNA test.
However, it is learnt that the request for a DNA report would have to be made by a police officer on receipt of a complaint.

French start-up manufacturer Lisa Airplanes has launched a two-seat amphibious ultra-light aircraft and plans to develop a six-seat, turbine-powered version for the private flyer and leisure travel markets.
The two-seat Akoya, said to be the first aircraft designed to "operate from land, water and snow", is set to make its first flight next month, followed by an unveiling at the Aero 2007 general aviation show in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The manufacturer is developing the Akoya with high-tech company Savoy Technolac.
The aircraft is powered by a 100hp (75kW) Rotax 912S. It has a removable folding wing, integral safety parachute and range of 1,500km (810nm), maximum cruise speed of 160kt (300km/h) and maximum take-off weight of 495kg (1,090lb). Certification and first deliveries are planned for the fourth quarter of the year and early 2008 respectively.
Erick Herzberger, co-founder of the Chambery-based company, says Lisa will launch the turbine version within three years to compete with very light jets.
Two-seat Akoya will make its first flight in April before air show unveiling
