Water fight: A new Catholic environmental issue emerges in Italy
By John Thavis, Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- A referendum in Italy has spotlighted an emerging social justice issue for the Catholic church: access to safe water as a basic human right.
Italians were going to the polls June 12-13 to decide whether to revoke a decree that imposed the privatization of water resources. The issue has stirred an unusually intense debate, with church leaders arguing that water is the archetypal "gift from God" that should not be polluted by the profit motive.
On June 9, a group of more than 100 missionary priests and nuns fasted and prayed in St. Peter's Square to underline their support for the referendum and their opposition to the privatization of water. Beneath Pope Benedict XVI's windows, they unfurled a giant banner reading: "Lord, help us save the water!"
The next day, the Vatican's Cardinal Peter Turkson weighed in. Cardinal Turkson, head of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said water distribution should be a service provided by governments to their citizens as part of their role in protecting the common good.

Australia will "continue to discuss" with India its "differences" on whether to allowaccess to Australian uranium for civil nuclear purposes.
The discussion will now take place "within the framework" of the "strategic partnership" that Canberra established with New Delhi in 2009, Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd said after holding talks with External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna in Melbourne on Thursday.
The two leaders reviewed the whole gamut of bilateral relations and discussed international issues under a bilateral "framework dialogue."
Mr. Krishna was assisted by Secretary (East) Latha Reddy, High Commissioner Sujatha Singh and Adviser Raghavendra Shastry.
Mr. Krishna later told The Hindu from Melbourne that he suggested to Mr. Rudd that Australia would be "well advised to revisit its policy" of not selling uranium to countries such as India, which did not accede to the discriminatory Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The issue was "discussed in all its implications," especially in the perspective of India's "developmental angle and climate change angle."
As for Australia's response, Mr. Krishna said: "I wouldn't put it in terms of assurances either being asked or being given." He emphasised that "the strategic partnership is on track."
At a press conference that the two foreign ministers addressed after their talks, Mr. Krishna said he was pleading for "a larger public debate" in Australia on its current policy about uranium sale.
Mr. Rudd, however, emphasised that Canberra's "policy continues into the future." At the same time, "Australia fundamentally respects India's longstanding credentials on the non-proliferation question. India has not been responsible for a single act of nuclear weapons proliferation anywhere in the world."
Ruling out "assumptions" and forecasts about whiffs and winds of change in Canberra's policy towards India, Mr. Rudd said Australia would, however, take note of India posture in the light of non-proliferation and climate change concerns.
'Improved situation'
On the protection of Indian students in Australia, Mr. Krishna said the situation had "drastically improved" and "confidence-building measures have been taken." The old "anguish has disappeared," he added.
During his meeting with the Indian community in Melbourne, he said no complaints about the current situation had been brought to his attention.
On the new Australian immigration rules, Mr. Rudd said that "particular cases of hardship," if any, would be addressed.
In a television interview on the sidelines of the India-Australia talks, Mr. Krishna said New Delhi "will certainly consider" any request from Myanmar for help in the civil nuclear energy sector. He also described Pakistan as "the epicentre of terrorism in our region."

It can be a challenge to locate products that are truly natural. The staff at Spa Mountain Naturals, a natural body care company, offer the following suggestions:
1. Many ingredient labels are quite hard to read. Take a magnifier with you when shopping.
2. Most product ingredient lists can be found online. Review these before deciding to purchase. If these are not available for the products you are considering, e-mail the company and request they provide you with an ingredient list.
3. Make it a project to start researching natural alternatives for each of the products you and your family frequently use. Products with potent levels of truly natural ingredients can be very effective and pleasant to use.

EPIA-P910 Pico-ITX Motherboard 6
Credit: Images by Matthew Nawrocki for TechRepublic
"ridiculously small." Wow!
In the first image of the system, you can see the power wires running to the board. Looking at the images of the board, it looks as if there is a power connector near the SATA ports and one near the VGA port. At a guess, one supplies power out for the SATA drives and the other is the input power connector. The board power suppy is likely a 12V wall wart. In the first image of the system, you can see the power wires running to the board. What I am wondering more about is the memory -- a single SODIMM mounted to the bottom of the board would be my guess but a image would have been nice.
Where is the power supply?
This M'Board comes with a Power Adapter similar to a NB and that is where it gets it's power from. It doesn't have conventional M'Board type power connectors. But you can try reading the review here http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/hardware-review-via-epia-p910-pico-itx-motherboard/6907?tag=main Col

Buffer: I had no clue that this would ever happen. I would watch the fights with my kids back in the early '80s, and a ring announcer in a fight announced the split decision. And he did it without the proper sequence, to give you the dramatic effect of -- 'and the winner by split decision,' pause, everybody waits and he gave away this -- the winner after two judges. And my oldest son said, 'Dad, you could do that.' And, and I thought, 'Well, yeah, OK. I'm a big fan. I can't afford a ticket, so maybe I could just get my way in to the ring that way.' And I came up with a sort of enhanced resume that said I had experience, and got my foot in the door and was quite terrible the first time. But I got another shot and it just took off, the power of television.
Berman: So you went into this thinking, 'I need to come up with some saying.' You went in saying, 'I've gotta come up with something to get them going?'"
Buffer: Well, I wanted something, and I tried, you know, 'Man your battle stations' and 'Fasten your seat belts.' And it was, like, just crickets out there, you know, nothing was happening. And I came up with -- Muhammad Ali, I'll do my Muhammad Ali impersonation now. [Imitating Ali:] 'I'm so pretty. I'm ready to rumble.' And he used to have this line, 'Rumble, young man, rumble.' So, it was there. It was in boxing. And Sal Marchiano, great sports announcer from New York, used to say on the ESPN fights, 'Well, we're ready to rumble from Resorts International.' And so I kinda fine-tuned everything to, 'Let's get ready to rumble.' And that's what you hear today.
Berman: Was there a moment where you thought, 'Man, I have something here.'
Buffer: Yeah, you know, and I, of course, I say it a lot differently than I did 20 some years ago.
Berman: How'd you say it in the beginning?
Buffer: I would just say '12 rounds of boxing in the heavyweight division, let's get ready to rumble. Introducing first...' and I would just like roll through it, 'cause I was almost like afraid that I shouldn't be too dramatic with it, like, I didn't want to bring attention to myself. And it was kind of like, just rolling out there, and -- a great friend, he's passed away, Jody Berry, was a singer in show business and a great Hollywood guy, and he said, 'You know, when you say, 'Let's get ready to rumble,' shut up. I'm like, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'Because they're dying to hear you say it, and they want to go crazy.' So, I took a chance and said it and paused, and it started to work a lot better.
Berman: When did you trademark it?
Buffer: I realized that it was popping up everywhere, like for editorial use and headlines, and, you know, for a big fight. It would say, it's time to rumble, ready to rumble. And so, occasionally, a car dealer, a local car dealer would say 'let's get ready to rumble' for knockout deals. And they were, like, using my line. And I checked with attorneys and found out that this could be considered what they call intellectual property.
Berman: And what does that mean for you, exactly?

So without further ado let's get down to it, and we'll start as always taking a look back at the campaigns that ended since our last weekly meeting:
This time neither the good nor the bad news have prevailed: there are as many from one type as from the other. But considering many of the failed projects still have a chance of becoming finished games someday, we have reasons to feel optimistic about the overall results:
· Mik'64 crowdfunding campaign ended abruptly when its IndieGoGo page was taken down without prior notice. Obviously we don't know anything about the future outcome of this game or the one-man studio behind it, which was to be sustained by this campaign's pledges.
· Spacecraft: Galaxies wasn't unsuccessful either, even though it stood the entire duration of the campaign. But ultimately raising less than 10% of the base goal can't be considered anything but failure. There hasn't been any announcements from the developers, so the future of this game is as doubtful as the previous one.
· Zombie Kill of the Week is the last presumably doomed project of the week. It totally failed to raise any funds in spite of the fast-paced action and fun gameplay it provides. Given the absence of news from the developers, the existing single-player beta may be the closer we ever get to playing this game.
· Black Talons, the promising tactical RTS game, was canceled by its developers after having raised only 10% of the funding mark in almost half of the allotted time. However this is not the end of the story, as the creators will continue to work on the game nonetheless.
· Hell IX was canceled as well, although this one had performed notably worse than the previous project. But just like it, its developers are determined to keep developing this game and they are considering a Kickstarter comeback in the future.
· Cropling is a game we never talked about before because it was very early in development and was hard to tell if it had potential or not. Its IndieGoGo campaign ended recently having also gathered about a 10% of the base goal, but since it was a flexible funding the creator has obtained some funds that will allow him to further develop a game that was starting to look very good in recent updates. We'll certainly keep an eye on it and will be reporting any potential new crowdfunding campaign for it.
· Tread Lightly is another game we never featured before. In contrast with the previous project, this one achieved its humble funding goal thanks to a couple of generous pledges during the ending rush. One of the reasons we remained silent about it was the initial lack of information about its plot, mechanics, and goals. But as the campaign progressed the creator gave away some details about gameplay, and as it successfully ended he inmediately made the game publicly available for anyone to play.
· Insignificant, the open-world RPG that lets you play as a tiny person reminiscent of The Borrowers from classic literature, conquered the base goal along with a bunch of stretch goals: indoor settings, underwarder settings, a second playable character, soundtrack by a professional composer, Oculus Rift support, character appearance customization, NPCs, as well as alchemy and enchantment skills. Non early-access backers and regular Joes alike will have to wait almost a year before getting their hands on it and beginning their insignificant adventures.
· DwarfCorp's Mysterious Benefactor turned out to be a legitimate one, so the entire $46k raised will count towards unlocking almost all planned stretch goals. Well, maybe all of them since you can still make your pledges through PayPal at their website -- but only until August 30th! After that date, you'll only be able to help this game by voting for it on Greenlight.
· Monochroma managed to become another winner this week, partly thanks to some generous pledges from other people in the game industry. Whatever the source of funding the important fact is that this game will see the light of day, and on a date not too far from now: on next December. So if you dig it but you didn't back this project in spite of its long funding period, you'd better take advantage of the PayPal donation system they've put ut on their website before it's too late. Whether you back the game or not, you'll always be able to play the demo, available for Linux. Monochroma is also on Greenlight, ready to be voted for by interested Steam members.
· Orbs CCG successfully achieved its base goal quite early in the campaign, but it practically stayed there for the rest of the funding period. A bittersweet victory indeed, as the $2k mark was a bare minimum to ensure the existence of the game. However the show goes on and hopefully when it is released it will gain enough popularity and support to allow for further development.
· And finally the OpenGL support improvement for the Linux Graphics Drivers campaign ended successfully, thus proving that crowdfunding doesn't need inmediate tangible rewards to work out, and that it can succeed by promising a long-term benefit for the whole community. Even before the campaign ended, Timothy Arceri was already hard at work and documenting his progress on a wiki. He's already into his second week of working on the GL_KHR_debug extension, so we'll be able to see his results soon -- and hopefully use them.
Now you know what you can do nothing about, it's time for Speedster to update you on the ongoing campaigns for which you can make a difference with your pledge:
· Fran Bow promises to be a worthy game for fans of creepy thrillers starring little children, who can check out the mood in the Linux-supporting demo or even watch

Instead of replacing just the Wheel, I replaced the whole unit. Took the front of the Dryer off again, took out the Tumbler, removed the 2 screws on the motor assembly tray, moved it a couple inches forward to gain access to the Idler. R&R the Idler( a little contortion for the arms and wrists, but not horrible) and put it all back to together. Works perfectly and ZERO NOISE. YOU CAN DO THIS.

Dual-Function QR Codes Enabled With codeREADr's Alter-Scan Technology
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/02/14 -- The developers of codeREADr, an enterprise barcode scanning app, have today released alter-scan technology to support dual-function QR codes for printed asset labels and transaction-related media, such as coupons, vouchers, tickets and IDs.
Dual-function codes differ from typical codes because they have unique, variable transaction IDs appended to a URL. When scanned with apps meant for consumers, the code's URL points to web pages optimized for mobile devices. However, when the same code is scanned by merchants or enterprises with codeREADr's app, the variable IDs are captured, validated and stored as formal scan records.
To capture appended IDs, codeREADr applies custom rules specific for each URL. The parsed ID is then checked and validated against a client's database stored locally on iOS, Android or BlackBerry devices or stored on servers managed by codeREADr or clients. After validation, app users can collect associated information as part of the scan record including time, date, location, text, voice-to-text and photos.
Dual-function codes printed on transaction media would typically point consumers to Web pages offering promotional content. They can even include links to download apps and Passbook Passes, initiate purchases or subscribe to marketing campaigns.
For asset labels, a consumer's scan would typically present contact and general information about the asset or its owner. A field service technician's scan with codeREADr would typically present more specific asset info, including item-level service manuals and warranty status.
"Marketers and enterprises can use the codeREADr app and Web services or alternatively license the technology for implementation within their own native or web apps," said Rich Eicher Sr., codeREADr's Director of Business Development.
For images and demo codes please visit codeREADr's Knowledgebase here.
About codeREADr The codeREADr app and SaaS platform enable enterprises and third-party integrators to easily implement local and cloud-based auto-ID and data capture solutions (AIDC) using smartphones, tablets and other smart devices.

1. Yes if you are using power to weapons
2. Fast travel is borg engine. Id stick with ageis since you have the hole set.
3. Again Id go with ageis, you have the hole set. But only keep it if it fits your sci abilities.
4. Everyone has different setting. For me unless Im running a shield strip/torp set up then I always go 100 weapon power.
A few other things, that Sci team 3 isnt as good as your tss3, you could get great hull heal with a hazard emitter 3. And then a sci team 1 or 2. Im also assuming that transfer shield you have listed is really extend shield. If it was me Id drop the power to weapons go 100 weapon power, and pick up a Eng team 1.
Also, that bio function console is not doing you anything. Crew as of right now means nothing. Nothing at all. And maybe grind some emblems and get the console to boost shields by a %

BACKGROUND: Severe sepsis is a common, costly, and complex problem, the epidemiology of which has only been well studied in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, nearly half of all patients with severe sepsis are cared for outside the ICU. OBJECTIVE: To determine rates of infection and organ sys- tem dysfunction in patients with severe sepsis admitted to non-ICU services. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: A large, tertiary, academic medical center in the United States. PATIENTS: Adult patients initially admitted to non-ICU medical services from 2009 through 2010. MEASUREMENTS: All International Classification of Dis- eases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes were screened for severe sepsis. Three hospitalists reviewed a sample of medical records evaluating the char- acteristics of severe sepsis. The International Consensus Conference (ICC) for sepsis defines severe sepsis as an infection leading to acute organ dysfunction.1,2 Severe sepsis afflicts over 1 million patients each year in Medicare alone, and is substantially more common among older Americans than acute myocardial infarction.3–5 Recently, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality identified severe sepsis as the single most expensive cause of hospitalization in the United States.6 The incidence of severe sepsis continues to rise.4,5 Severe sepsis is often mischaracterized as a diagno- sis cared for primarily in the intensive care unit (ICU). Yet, studies indicate that only 32% to 50% of patients with severe sepsis require ICU care, leaving *Address for correspondence and reprint requests: Jeffrey M.

RESULTS: Of 23,288 hospitalizations, 14% screened posi- tive for severe sepsis. A sample of 111 cases was manually reviewed, identifying 64 cases of severe sepsis. The mean age of patients with severe sepsis was 63 years, and 39% were immunosuppressed prior to presentation. The most common site of infection was the urinary tract (41%). The most common organ system dysfunctions were cardiovas- cular (hypotension) and renal dysfunction occurring in 66% and 64% of patients, respectively. An increase in the num- ber of organ systems affected was associated with an increase in mortality and eventual ICU utilization. Severe sepsis was documented by the treating clinicians in 47% of cases. CONCLUSIONS: Severe sepsis was commonly found and poorly documented on the wards at our medical center. The epidemiology and organ dysfunctions among patients with severe sepsis appear to be different from previously described ICU severe sepsis populations.

Seven cops were among ten people injured in a clash between primary school teachers and police who used mild force to prevent them from heading towards the Uttarakhand Assembly, prompting the state government to order a judicial probe into the incident.
The trouble erupted when contractual primary school teachers, also called shikshamitras, broke the barricades and tried to march towards the Legislative Assembly, IGP (Law and Order) Ramsingh Meena said.
The shikshamitras are demanding among other things a hike in their remuneration from Rs 10000 to Rs 22000 and exemption from a mandatory eligibility test for confirmation.
When the contractual teachers, who had threatened not to allow MLAs to enter the House, were prevented from marching towards the Assembly they jumped over the barricades and even broke them forcing police to use water canons to disperse them, Meena said.
This did not help in restoring calm and the agitators began hurling stones at police who swung batons to disperse them.
Seven policemen and three teachers were injured in the clash, the IGP said.
Opposition BJP raised the issue in the state Assembly terming the incident a "callous act of coercion" by the authorities.
The state government ordered a judicial probe into the incident.

Mich. lawmakers halt teacher pension proposal
By AP
Lansing, MI – LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Lawmakers are pulling the plug on a
retirement incentive proposal pitched by Michigan's largest
teachers union.
The Michigan Education Association wanted to entice school
employees already eligible for retirement to retire by promising
them higher monthly pension checks. That would have cleared the way
for younger workers making less money to stay in Michigan.
The plan didn't make it out of a Republican sponsor's Senate
committee after concerns were raised about the long-term cost to
The MEA on Wednesday said it was disappointed more legislators
and school officials didn't see the plan's "broader benefits."
Detractors say getting an influx of younger teachers by enticing
veterans with higher pensions would cost too much later on.

I do think the third group is pointless and just there for annoyance... generally if you can get past the second, you can get past the third. That aside, it really isnt that hard of a concept. Kill the workers. Push them back. Turn on all the transformers at a decent pace. Anyone can do it, so long as they are willing to put a minimal amount of effort in.

Only thing wrong here is that stupid bug where you get transported way, way back if you die toward the end of the mission, instead of at the second checkpoint. Think its just a problem with calculating the closest spawn point instead of checking the pathing to the closest one (or why not just send people to the most recent...). Do agree with you here...

Some bugs, still easy to beat. One person melees close range, others distract the borg. Fairly simple and hard to screw up, even with random bugs.

I do it whenever a group of friends and I get together, take over an instance, and fill it up with people what are competant. Same with STFs. Run with people that listen, and it's easy. Run it with people that dont pay attention, dont read, dont listen, and you're going to get frustrated.

I do agree with you, it should be made fun for everyone. I heard there was talk of making single player versions of all the STFs. I assume it wouldnt give assimilated borg set and higher tiered gear as reward, but at least it will let others have fun and experiance the story line. I am all for something like that (lets call it easy mode
) But if you are trying to make STFs overall easier, then I have to say no. They are frustrating to do in PUGS. Easy to do with a group of good, competant people. So stop pugging if you care so much.

A swinging big band, a hot swing group (like Royal Crown Revue), or the soulful styling of Diana Krall. It's all good and it's all definitely jazz. Most importantly, it's not boxed music being packaged and marketed as jazz.

Santana, Hannahan homers to lift Indians over A's
Lou Marson and Ezequiel Carrera reached on infield singles. Fukudome, hitting .379 (11 of 29) with five RBIs over his last eight games, then doubled to the wall in right-center, scoring both runners.
Oakland pulled to 2-1 in the fifth, helped by an error by Gomez covering first base. That sent Jemile Weeks to second, where he scored on Coco Crisp's two-out single to right.
Indians designated hitter Jim Thome went 1 for 2 with two walks. That extended the 41-year-old Thome's team record to 1,000 walks. He has 1,717 for his career, eighth all-time and 16 behind Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle.
Notes: Cleveland optioned 1B Matt LaPorta to Triple-A Columbus. ... Indians OF Grady Sizemore, out since July 18 with a sore knee and recovering from abdominal surgery, will start a rehab assignment Wednesday at Double-A Akron. ... Oakland called up hard-throwing RHP Neil Wagner from Triple-A Sacramento. Cleveland's 21st-round pick in 2005 and sold to Oakland a year ago, Wagner had 87 strikeouts in 66 1-3 innings in the minors this year and fanned the first batter he faced, Santana, in the eighth. ... A's RHP Michael Wuertz (thumb) is scheduled for a rehab outing Wednesday and could rejoin Oakland this weekend. He's been out since July 30. ... RHP Rich Harden (4-2) will face Indians RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (2-2) on Wednesday. Harden's 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings are sixth-best among AL pitchers with at least 50 innings. Jimenez is 2-0 at home since being acquired by Cleveland from Colorado for four prospects at the trade deadline July 31. ... A's manager Bob Melvin said OF Ryan Sweeney, batting .200 (9 for 45) in August, may play the last two games of the series. ... Weeks is 12 for 29 (.414) in a seven-game hitting streak. ... A's OF Brandon Allen went 0 for 4 and is in an 0 for 14 slump.

Dossena keen to see Aquilani make Liverpool move
Liverpool fullback Andrea Dossena is keen to see Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani join him at Anfield.
"Aquilani is destined to improve even more and could do so even more quickly under a great coach like [Liverpool boss Rafael] Benitez," Dossena told laroma.net.
"A player like him can comfortably play for Liverpool or any other club. He was sidelined due to physical problems last season and could not be at his best, but he has proved to be a great footballer.
"Aquilani can do well in the Premier League, even though it is a more physical league than Serie A."
He added: "Benitez is very good at setting up the team and moving it around.
"He has many solutions at his disposal and could employ Aquilani in different ways."

Thanks for all these replies. I worry that with fine fine hair (I've got lots of it, but the strands are crazy fine) the flat iron may just toast it. I like the idea of washing at night -- though there's still the problem of it being cold in the house! Maybe I can try diffusing again. My hair tends to get big (not in the good way) fast, but I can try to be more careful than in the past . . . Thanks for your input!

Peabody award–winning journalist Andrea Bernstein is Senior Editor for Politics & Policy for WNYC News. She has previously served as Metro Editor, Political Director, Director of Transportation Nation, and Senior Reporter.
New York, NY —Seven upstate counties will be the first to get federal transportation stimulus dollars. WNYC's Andrea Bernstein has more. REPORTER: New York will spend the first $41 million of federal money on bridge and road repairs in Steuben, Onondaga, Oneida, Herkimer, and Albany counties. The projects were chosen because planning agencies in those counties got their requests in first, according to a spokeswoman for Governor Paterson, and not because of any tilt towards upstate. Bids for the projects will be solicited as early as next week. Meantime, Common Cause New York is pressing the Governor's office to abide by a strict set of disclosure requirements for economic stimulus contracts. Under the act, only federal contracts require disclosure. The governor's office says its reviewing the common cause recommendations. For WNYC, I'm Andrea Bernstein.

Anganwadi workers from Chickballapur Lok Sabha Constituency staged a protest in front of the Bangalore Zilla Panchayat office here on Friday against a government move to outsource maintenance of their day care centres to Vedanta Prathishtana, a corporate social responsibility arm of global mining company Vedanta Resources.
The workers staged the protest under the aegis of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU).
As many as 2,635 anganwadi centres of four districts in the Lok Sabha constituency were adopted by Vedanta Prathishtana as per a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed between the foundation and the zilla panchayats.
Now, 1,139 anganwadis in Chickballapur district, 1,207 in Bangalore Rural district, 222 in Bangalore Urban district and 67 in Ramanagaram district are covered by the MoU, according to which the foundation is expected to run the centres without seeking any assistance from the government, providing awareness about mother and child care, slippers and uniforms for children, and training of anganwadi workers.
The workers felt that the MoU is detrimental to the development of women and children, which is the purpose of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme, under which anganwadis are run.
Sponsored by the Union Government, ICDS has worked for over three decades, to tackle malnutrition and health problems in children.
Vedanta Resources has been under the scanner for alleged violation of laws of human rights and natural resources in various parts of India. "By undertaking such projects, the company is attempting to attain an image makeover," alleged Nagamani D.R., Secretary of Karnataka Rajya Noukara Sangha (CITU).
"If the Government needs help from non-governmental organisations, it can be limited to stationery items. Handing over the entire responsibility of the development of anganwadis is not right. The government has done well to maintain and develop infrastructure, and we want it to continue with the programme," she said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Arkansas Business) -- Investors yesterday gave the S&P 500 index another record close and its sixth straight month of gains. The S&P logged an increase of 0.2 percent Tuesday.
For the month of April, it rose 1.8 percent marking the longest advance since the seven months ending in September 2009.
Investors will be looking for signs about the health of the economy today when the Federal Reserve Board announces its latest decisions on monetary policy.
Most expect the Fed to keep interest rates at historic lows. The Fed will announce its decision at around 1 p.m. today.
Arkansas earning season continues
Here in Arkansas, earnings season continuing with the latest results from Arkansas Best Corp., the publicly traded trucking and logistics company based in Fort Smith.
That company reporting a first-quarter net loss of $13.4 million -- that's a narrower loss than the $18.2 million loss it reported last year.
Also on the bright side, revenue increased as well, hitting $520 million, up $80 million from last time.
In its report, the company cited "encouraging trends" but said gains were offset by higher wage and benefit costs for its union employees, which are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Arkansas Best has been negotiating with the Teamsters on a new employment contract.
And speaking of earnings, Murphy Oil Corp. of El Dorado is set to report its quarterly results after market close today.
Analysts are expecting the oil and gas company's earnings to be about 97 cents per share.
Leo's Greek Castle get new owners
And finally, there are new owners at a long-time Hillcrest restaurant.
Frank Cox III and Thomas Alford III, both 24 years old, have bought Leo's Greek Castle, a Mediterranean restaurant on Kavanaugh Boulevard.
The two bought the place a few weeks ago from Hector Parodi. Parodi had run the restaurant for almost 20 years. The place was originally built as a filling station more than 60 years ago.
Cox and Alford say they've frequented the restaurant since childhood. They didn't disclose a purchase price, and they plan to make the restaurant as efficient as possible before adding new features.

Centos 4.6 Catches Up with Updates
Shortly after a revision of the current 5 branch of the Centos release, the Red Hat Enterprise source-based distribution has now updated the older release to version 4.6.
In doing so, CentOS follows in the footsteps of US Linux corp. Red Hat, which recently released version 4.6 itself. In what is the normal procedure for older versions, the release contains updated packages for standard components and a number of bugfixes. Centos includes Samba 3.0.25b, an update of the server that removes various vulnerabilities. The developers have introduced a new version of Yum as the installation of the Yum Metadata Parser goes to show. The new Yum offers performance boosts without introducing new controls. The release notes have a full list of changes.
Downloads of the current 4.6 version are available for the i386 and x86 64 bit platforms. Versions for IA64, Alpha and IBM's S390 are also available. The developers are still working on server images for i386 and x86 64 bit architectures.

Mauritius Likely to Keep Interest Rates Unchanged on Dec. 6
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Mauritius's central bank will probably keep is benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.75 percent on Dec. 6 to help support an economic recovery even as inflation accelerates.
The monetary policy committee will keep to its word of holding the repo rate steady for two quarters after cutting it by one percentage point cut in September, Eric Ng, director of the consultants PluriConseil, said in a phone interview from Port Louis, the capital.
The Indian Ocean island nation's government and central bank are concerned an economic crisis in Europe may slow its expansion. Europe is the source of two-thirds of Mauritius' tourism and the destination for 71 percent of its manufactured exports, according to the statistics office. The economy is estimated to grow about 4 percent this year and in 2011.
Mauritius doesn't have room to cut interest rates further as inflation pressures are building, central bank Governor Rundheersing Bheenick said on Nov. 3. Inflation accelerated to 3.2 percent in October from 2.5 percent a month earlier, the Bank of Mauritius said.
"They will wait for the budgetary measures to be implemented, gauge its effect on the economy before the monetary policy revises its rate," Chandan Jankee, associate professor of banking and finance at the University of Mauritius, said by phone.

American League Preview from The Sports Network
Sunday, April 21st (All times Eastern)
Cleveland Indians (6-10) at Houston Astros (5-12), 2:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Cleveland - Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2, 11.25) Houston - Erik Bedard (0-1, 7.04)
(Sports Network) - After losing a one-run decision in Friday's opener, the Cleveland Indians saw their offense break out in a big way the following night.
Given how Ubaldo Jimenez and Erik Bedard both pitched last time, the offense could come fast and furious again on Sunday afternoon when the Indians and Houston Astros complete a three-game series.
The Astros snapped a five-game slide by winning Friday's opener 3-2, but were helpless in stopping the Indians' attack in the second game. Cleveland scored eight runs in the first inning, six in the second and ended up with 22 hits in all by the end of a 19-6 triumph.
Jason Giambi hit a three-run homer and drove in five runs, while Mark Reynolds added his own three-run shot as the Tribe snapped a five-game losing streak. Nick Swisher went 4-for-7 with three doubles and a pair of RBI.
Scott Kazmir, who had not pitched in the major leagues since April 3, 2011, got the start for the Indians and despite the overwhelming run support was unable to pick up the win. He lasted 3 1/3 innings and allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks.
"Up 10 runs, I guess it's just one of those things when it's my first time out there, (they) just got the best of me," Kazmir said. "I just wasn't able to pitch my game. I'm the type of guy that likes to pitch off my fastball."
Other than Kazmir failing to get the victory, the only other negative to come out of Saturday's win was shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera coming out of the game following the top of the first inning with a bruised left wrist. He started despite hurting himself after slipping on the steps from the clubhouse to the dugout before the game.
X-rays were negative, but Cabrera is unlikely to play today.
Cabrera batted twice in the first inning and had one of the eight hits Houston starter Philip Humber allowed. Humber had opened the game by recording a fly out, but allowed the next nine batters to reach base and yielded eight runs before getting the hook.
"It has been hard on the bullpen. We haven't exactly held up our end of the bargain this past few weeks or so. We have to do a better job," Humber said.
Ronny Cedeno drove in three runs while Brandon Barnes had a two-run homer and Brandon Laird hit a solo shot for the Astros.
Following Humber's quick exit, the Astros will need some innings today from Bedard, something he also failed to give last time out. He makes his third start and fourth appearance of the season and was drilled for six runs on two hits and four walks while recording just one out in a loss at the Oakland Athletics on Monday.
The lefty hadn't allowed a run over his first 7 1/3 innings this season, scattering two hits and picking up a save.
However, Bedard walked the first three Oakland batters he faced and, following a strikeout, unleashed a wild pitch that scored a run. The 34-year-old then yielded a two-run single and three-run homer to end his outing.
"I was trying to throw strikes. It just didn't happen," Bedard said on Houston's official website. "It's happened before and it will probably happen again."
Bedard will make his 12th career start versus the Indians and is 2-2 against them with a 4.53 earned run average.
Jimenez will try to avoid a third straight disastrous start when he takes the hill for the Indians. After pitching well in his season debut, the right- hander has given up seven runs in each of his last two starts and recorded just five outs versus the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Before departing, Jimenez allowed two hits and five walks.
"Everything felt good coming out of my hand (early on), but then it just failed me fast," said Jimenez, who is 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA in three starts this season.
The 29-year-old stands a good chance at rebounding today as he is a perfect 4-0 in six lifetime meetings with the Astros to go along with a 1.88 ERA and 32 walks in 38 1/3 innings.
The Astros won two of three matchups with Cleveland last season. It was the first series between the teams since Houston won two of three back in 2001.

On Monday Intel unveiled its new 330 Series model of SSDs, but not all is as it seems. First, the 330 Series is not actually a replacement for the current 320 Series. Instead, the 330 is intended to act as Intel's new budget friendly model, for reasons we will delve into below. Secondly, unlike the 320 Series the 330 does not use Intel's own G2 controller, but instead houses a SandForce controller. As such, the 330s will offer the expected SATA 6Gb/s interface with the typically fast 550MB/s reads and 520MB/s writes we've come to expect from SF-2281 powered drives, along with 50,000 read and 60,000 write IOPS.
We did mention these will be Intel's budget friendly family of SSDs, and as such prices will start at $89 for the 60GB, $149 for the 120GB, and $234 for the top 180GB model. Intel and budget-friendly are two words not usually found in the same sentence together, so what exactly makes these drives cheaper than other solid-state drives, especially Intel's own 320 and 520 Series brands? Quite simply, it's the P/E rating for the flash NAND.
Intel's 320 and 520 models both use the same 25nm IMFT NAND found in the new drives, but the 330 utilizes flash rated for 3,000 program/erase cycles as opposed to the 5,000 P/E rating NAND the 520 and 320 both utilize. This is also why the Intel 330 Series comes with a 3 year warranty, while the 320 and 520 feature a full five year warranty.
How large of a difference will the loss of 2,000 P/E cycles actually affect the lifespan of the SSD? Well, Intel isn't the first company to launch a 3,000 P/E model drive; Kingston just recently launched its own HyperX 3K model drives with the "3K" needing no explanation at this point. Readers can head over here for the full explanation, but suffice to say an Intel 330 Series 120GB drive would last over eight years with 12GB written to it every day. It is far more likely a power supply failure, a surge from the power grid, or some sort of other accident will occur and kill the drive long before the NAND inside it wears out.
Back to the Intel 330 Series, we're left with an interesting, affordable second choice for enthusiasts that want Intel's stability combined with SandForce performance, namely the 520 Series, and now the 330 Series drives. At a $149 MSRP for the 120GB model 330 Intel has actually undercut all but the cheapest SandForce SSDs currently on the market, and street prices for SSDs have always tended to be lower than MSRP. For example, Intel's 120GB 520 Series drive launched at a $220 MSRP, but can be found easily for $190 before any promotional discounts or rebates.
All-in-all, the 330 Series is an intriguing new option in the SSD market. Although exact performance for the 330 is a smidge lower than the 520 variants, it's not enough to mention. Except for the most strenuous, write-intensive workloads, the 330 Series is yet another attractive choice for consumers looking for an affordable, reliable, high-performance solid-state drive upgrade.

60% of Women Prefer to Die Over Living Knowing They Caused Death, Tellwut Finds
Almost 60% of females would rather die than live knowing they were responsible for another´s death a Tellwut survey finds. Only 44% of men felt the same way, in the online survey which asked "If you were involved in a fatal car crash where the passenger was killed and the driver survived and the crash was a result of driver error, would you prefer to be the driver or the passenger?"
(PRWEB) September 18, 2012
57% of close to 5,000 voters preferred to be the driver and live. However Tellwut´s demographic gender survey results showed that females had a very different stance than men, with almost 60% of women saying they would prefer to be the passenger and die. Only 44% of men chose this answer. Why the stark difference in gender response? There is a lot written on females having a far greater capacity towards empathy; with females often viewed as being more altruistic than men. Studies looking at the differences in the composition of the human brain of men and women have shed some light on why women think differently. Research by both Dr. Godfrey Pearlson and Zeenat F. Zadi found that in women versus men the right brain is larger than the left brain; the right brain being responsible for perception and the ability to process the senses. Thus one might presume that with greater perception comes greater empathy, which can lead to greater feelings of guilt; hence why women are said to be more prone to depression than their male counterparts. As one female tellwuter said; "I couldn´t live with the guilt if it was my fault."
Though one hopes never to be or have been in this morbid situation, Tellwut´s survey results do highlight that the physical gender differences found in the human brain provide support to the divergence in thinking between men and women and in the case of this survey the desire to live or die.
Tellwut is an online survey company providing a unique mix of both private business survey packages and an open opinion poll forum. The open forum provides voters the opportunity to vote on, or post surveys, offering online users a unique combination of survey software and a rewards program, coupled with a social network element that will facilitate dialogue, argument and conversation across an infinite number of subjects. Tellwut´s business application allows companies, associations, researchers, students to send their own private surveys or canvass the tellwut voter base. Free survey trial packages are available.
