Hill's high on USD's Series shot
Sometimes the family makes the right decision, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes kids don't peak until they get to college, sometimes they peak in high school. Baseball scouting is a crap shoot on hallucinogens.
"We give a power-point presentation (to the families)," Hill says. "We have visuals and pie charts that back up our data. Eighty-five percent of American-born middle infielders (in the majors) come from college. Only four high school catchers — Joe Mauer, Jason Kendall, A.J. Pierzynski and Brian McCann — have turned pro and gone to the majors in the last 10 years. That's staggering to me.
"Many publications have our recruiting class in the Top 5 nationally and we tell recruits the best path to the major leagues is college. We try to sign one or two premium, possible first-round draft picks. We've signed Dylan Covey (a pitcher out of Pasadena Maranatha High) and we don't expect him to last past the 20th pick, but his family really, really wants him to go to college.
"History tells us we have to have a few guys like that to get to the next level. If you want to make a run at a national championship, you need guys like that. You've just got to be lucky, like we were with Brian Matusz (USD class of 2008, now pitching with Baltimore). He turned down a million-dollar contract. He's the poster boy for why you should go to college. It takes a gut feel; that the family will honor the commitment."
For now, Hill only can play what he has, and what he has very well may do.
"This team has that feeling, that thought process; we believe," Hill says. "There are teams as talented as us, maybe more, but it's not the best team that wins — it's the team that plays best."
If Rich Hill never is right again, he's right about that.

Human Rights in Iran; Prison; Poverty and Health
Monday, March 31, 2014
On today's show: we'll talk to the former head of Iran's largest student organization, who fled the country after being held in solitary confinement for 100 days. Filmmaker Timothy Skousen on the program at Sing Sing prison that has allowed inmates to earn a college degree. He's joined by one of the program's founders. Our series Strapped: A Look at Poverty in America examines the effects poverty has on health and mental health. And food writer Michael Ruhlman tells us about his new cookbook devoted to eggs.
A Former Iranian Political Prisoner on Human Rights in Iran
Mehdi Arabshahi, was president of the largest student organization in Iran, the Daftar Tahkim Vahdat, and a former political prisoner who fled Iran after being held in solitary confinement for 100 days. He and Gissou Nia, Executive Director of the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, discuss the status of human rights in Iran. Over the last few years, there have been a significant rise in human rights abuses in Iran with 624 executions in 2013, and over 75 executions since January 1, 2014, and more than 800 human rights defenders imprisoned; figures that are on the rise each and every day. Recently, UN Secretary General's offered a sharp rebuke of Iran's President Rouhani for failing to improve human rights in Iran since taking office in August.
The University of Sing Sing
In 1998, five former inmates founded the privately funded Hudson Link for Higher Education, which enables incarcerated men and women to earn a college diploma. Since partnering with Mercy College, Sing Sing prisoners are able to receive the same curriculum and diploma as on-campus students. Sean Pica, a former inmate who helped found and runs the Hudson Link for Higher Education, and Timothy Skousen, director of the film "The University of Sing Sing," discusses the transformation that occurs when inmates receive not only a college diploma, but also a chance at redemption and a reason to hope. "The University of Sing Sing" debuts on HBO March 31.
How Poverty Affects Mental Health
For the first part of this week's installment of our series Strapped: A Look at Poverty in America, we're finding out how poverty affects mental health. Epidemiologist Dr. Jane Costello examines the impact poverty has on mental health, especially among children. She tells us about her Great Smoky Mountains Study—a longitudinal study of more than 1,400 children in North Carolina—looking at who gets mental illness, who gets treatment, and how rising out of poverty improves the mental health of children and families. Dr. Costello is Associate Director for Research, Center for Child & Family Policy and Professor of Medical Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University.
Why Being Poor Is Bad for Your Health
For the second part of this week's installment of Strapped: A Look at Poverty in America, Dr. Benard Dreyer, Professor of Pediatrics at New York University School of Medicine, and Dr. Peter Muennig, Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, discuss the impacts poverty has on cognitive development and overall health, especially in children, and what policies could improve health and mental health of children and families.

Temasek's pivot to private investment heralds billion-dollar listed asset sales
Published on Mar 10, 2014 10:01 AM
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's Temasek Holdings is shedding the skin of a sprawling sovereign investment house, cutting stakes in big publicly listed companies as it puts more money into growing private companies and private equity firms in search of better returns.
Under the guiding hand of chief executive Ho Ching, the wife of Singapore's prime minister, the US$170 billion (S$217 billion) state investor is morphing into a leaner form. The firm's returns have often lagged its own internal metric in recent years due to its focus on big stocks.
The evolving strategy at the world's ninth-largest sovereign fund is significant to corporate and financial professionals across the globe. Temasek deals worth $159 billion in the last 10 years have generated big bankers'fees.
New-look Temasek is already showing that it will shed more stakes and be more selective in providing money to large, listed global companies that come knocking in their hour of need, as they did before and after the 2008 financial crisis.

Published on Sep 19, 2012 6:50 PM
ISTANBUL (REUTERS) - Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said on Wednesday he would await the outcome of European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton's talks with the six world powers she represents before he held more talk with her.
Mr Jalili said his talks with Ms Ashton had been constructive.
"We evaluated the common points and what we could do for further cooperation and future meetings," Mr Jalili told a news conference in Istanbul, after meeting Ms Ashton late on Tuesday.
"The result was that the six countries should evaluate the outcome of our meeting amongst each other... We are waiting so that after (Ms Ashton) discusses with the six countries we will contact each other again," he said.

Believe it or not, the first three passes that former Westover and St. Thomas Aquinas star receiver Rashad Greene caught during his redshirt freshman year at Florida State all went for touchdowns. It was just that kind of season for the Albany native, who left his hometown after his sophomore year to live with his grandmother in Fort Lauderdale and play for St. Thomas, a national prep football powerhouse that competes for state and national titles every season. The decision to gain more exposure certainly paid off as Greene earned a scholarship to FSU, where he led the Seminoles in receiving this past season, despite missing four games due to injury. (Photo courtesy of The Tallahasse Democrat)
Stories this photo appears in:
Greene-r Pastures
Rashad Greene never wanted to leave home — but he knew that a bigger, brighter world of football awaited him outside of Albany. And after taking his talents to national powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas and eventually Florida State, three years later, he's now right where he hoped — and everyone back home in Southwest Georgia expected him -— to be: one of the fastest rising stars in the nation.

Fleet Merger vs Alliance
With the state of fleets now, there should be a discussion on whether a Diplomatic venture between two fleets is necessary to accomplish a more larger goal.
There are a lot of small fleets who don't want to lose their progress they have with their members to join a larger member and just become part of them and lose their identity...
Also, Larger fleets might take advantage of these smaller fleets.
So I propose a Fleet Merger Option.
Both fleet leaders from both fleets meet on a embassy to start the option.
From their, they discuss the changes in ranks, banks, fleet name, and other options Diplomatically. Once each side comes to a unanimous decision, can their fleets merger. Heck, you can even make it where each side has to donate a set amount of items to do so. Kind of like a Fleet Project.
Now with the Fleet Alliance Option, this is for fleets to work together gathering resources such as dilithium mining or another valuable outpost released where each fleet in the alliance will split the profits.
This will help combat the more powerful PvP fleets from monopolizing outpost.
You can declare war on a fleet, neutrality, or form an alliance.
This can make way for espionage, maybe getting betrayed, or so many other options.
So what do you guys think? This will bring some excitement to the fleets! Help PvP and so much more!

William Blake, a London hosier's son, began having mystical visions at the age of eight and came to see his life as a revelation of eternity. While eking out a living as an engraver, he offered, quite unsuccessfully, his great series of prophetic books, Songs of Innocence and Experience. For Ackroyd, biographer of both Charles Dickens and T. S. Eliot, Blake was a visionary, who long before Freud saw warfare as a form of repressed sexuality and believed there were eternal states of rage, desire and selfhood through which a man passes, keeping his soul intact. The tragedy was that he had the capacity to become a great public and religious poet, but instead turned in upon himself, gaining neither reputation nor influence in his lifetime.

"Wine is one of the most civilised things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing."
Ernest Hemingway, 'Death in the Afternoon'
I was absolutely thrilled and excited that after so long I would be creating a Bang On menu for the legendary wine maker from Spain @ my restaurant NIDO where I have now frequently started a cordoned off area called THE NOOK dedicated to food paired with wine dinners
Bodegas Mauro is the first family-run winery under Mariano García to lie in Castile-Leon and is named in honour of his father, Mauro García. The Fine Wine Forum is THE premier club of wine lover and afficionados in the country from Mumbai and Delhi who invite top dog vino masters every few months. It's not just about white wine – white meat, red wine with red meat, not totally yes but I don't really agree and for sure this menu which I created for these amazing reds worked wonders. Check out the menu below.
The evening was perfecto with selected group from the forum. It was an honour and treat to go all out to make their experience more than just an experience.
A couple of weeks before I was sent a five page document with tasting notes for all the wines, so picking up elements from the notes, putting them together and created this menu which was actually sent across to Spain to the legend himself, approved and got a thumbs up for it!
Dinner – May 2014
Hummus and parmesan flat bread
Duck and fig flat bread
Tuna tartare vol au vents
Prima is like nectar concocted from cherries and red and black fruits. Lively and densely coloured, and fresh on the nose, hints of barely ripe black olives, citrus and sweet notes from the fruit itself, all on a mineral background. My thoughts were Salmon, butter poached cooked sous vide , with some citrus, olive oil and minerality which I got from the artichoke.
Block of Salmon
Olive oil poached, citrus talc, pickled beets, jerusalem artichoke puree
Mariano García is one of the accepted authorities in the world of wine in Spain. After spending 30 years as technical director of Bodegas Vega, he decided to set up independently in 1998 in order to work full time on his own personal projects. It is some time ago since the first of these, Bodegas Mauro, consolidated its position as one of the finest wineries in Castile-Leon
Black Spice & Coffee compressed Tuna loin
Celeriac fennel puree, peperonata, caper berry aioli, pea shoots, pecorino shower
The 2005 San Roman is 100 per cent Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) sourced from the estate's older, higher elevation vineyards. It was aged for 23 months in a mix of new French oak and seasoned American oak and bottled without filtration. Opaque purple-colored, it gives up a superb perfume of pain grille, pencil lead, mineral, spice box, espresso, and wild black cherry. Layered on the palate, it has tons of succulent fruit, plenty of spice, my dish for the 2005 was…
Charcoal griiled tuscan Crostini
Wild mushrooms, panzanella, chevre espuma, liquid cherry olives
My 36 hour Lamb Love
Raan and Rice
Slow braised n strung lamb, brown rice, lentil & quinao pilaf, chipotle chocolate gel, hummus yoghurt
Root vegetables, black bean paella (V)
Cheese, Choolate & Berries
This wine had to be treated with care. I did not want to distract them from the goodness and seriousness of what had gone dwon to create the MAURO VS 2000
Medium ruby. Super ripe aromas verging on roasted: bitter cherry, dark chocolate and sandalwood. Dense and very ripe, with slightly cooked berry flavors complicated by chocolate, coffee and licorice. A 84 per cent single origin chocolate deesert, some ripened spanish cheese and local mulberries and imported red currants did the trick.
Check out some of these wines on your travel overseas, Salute to all and have a great weekend.

The Storage Team Blog about file services and storage features in Windows and Windows Server.
Hi, I'm Navjot Virk, program manager for Offline Files in Windows Vista, and I'll be blogging a multi-part series about the new features in Offline Files.
Offline Files is a feature of Windows Vista that enables access to files on an SMB server even when the client is not connected to the server. Offline Files was first introduced in Windows 2000 and then revised in Windows XP. Offline Files in Windows Vista has been completely redesigned based on the feedback we received from our customers. Offline Files in Windows Vista has many new features, such as seamless transitions and better synchronization, both of which I'll describe below.
Seamless TransitionsOffline files has two main modes of operation--online mode and offline mode. The user is working in online mode when they are connected to the server and most file requests are sent to the server. The user is working in offline mode when they are not connected to the server and all file requests are satisfied from the Offline Files cache.
Offline Files in Windows Vista offers seamless (no user intervention required) transition from online to offline mode and from offline mode to online mode.
In Windows XP, the transition from online to offline mode was seamless. However, the transition from offline to online mode was very disruptive. The user would be working offline and suddenly Offline Files would detect that the server is available for reconnection and pop up a balloon to notify the user. At that point the user would need to close all open applications, and then initiate synchronization, and only then would he be transitioned back to online mode. This was very disruptive.
In Windows Vista, the transition from online mode to offline mode is seamless just like in Windows XP. However, in Windows Vista the transition from offline mode to online mode is also seamless and non-disruptive. When Offline Files detects that the share is available for reconnection, all open handles are recreated on the server and the user is immediately transitioned to online mode. The user can now see the server namespace and open files online. Also, Offline Files will automatically initiate synchronization in the background to push all offline changes to the server and pull in any changes made on the server while the client was offline. If a file happens to be in conflict, then just that one file will continue to stay offline (all requests for that file will be satisfied from the cache). The user is notified of the conflict by the sync center system tray icon. The user can resolve this conflict by going to the sync center whenever they are ready. Until the user resolves the conflict, this file will continue to be offline and the user can keep working with his version.
Another big difference from Offline Files in Windows XP is that in Windows Vista the transitions happen at the share level. In Windows XP, the transitions happened at the server level. In other words, in Windows XP if you had a network error or if the share on the server was down (maybe due to maintenance), then the client would be transitioned offline against the entire server even though other shares on the same server were available. This gets much worse against a domain-based DFS path, such as \\microsoft.com\public\users. In Windows XP, if one server or share in the domain goes down then the entire domain-based namespace is transitioned offline. While offline the user can only access that part of the domain-based namespace that has been cached by Offline Files.
In Windows Vista, this transition happens at the share level. In other words, only that part of the namespace that is backed by the share that is down is transitioned offline. Other shares on the same server are still available online. In case of domain-based DFS, only the part of the logical namespace that is backed by the share that is down is transitioned offline. The rest of the domain-based namespace continues to be available online.
Offline Files in Windows Vista also offers a user interface to force a share to transition to offline mode even when the client is connected to the server. Using Windows Explorer, the user can browse to the share or a directory inside the share. The command bar of Windows Explorer in Windows Vista has a "Work Offline" button that the user can click to force the share to transition to offline mode. The button then changes to "Work Online." The user can click the "Work Online" button to transition back to online mode.
Better SynchronizationOffline Files in Windows Vista offer much improved synchronization. The improvements to synchronization are two-fold. First, Offline Files in Windows Vista uses a new faster algorithm to determine what files or directories are different between the client and the server. Second, Offline Files in Windows Vista uses "Bitmap Differential Transfer" when synchronizing changes from the client to the server. Bitmap Differential Transfer is essentially a mechanism to keep track of what blocks of file were modified when offline. When synchronizing changes from the client to the server, Offline Files in Windows Vista sends only those blocks of the file that were modified offline. In Windows XP, Offline Files always copies the entire file even if only a small part of the file was modified.
Bitmap Differential Transfer makes the synchronization in Windows Vista more efficient and enables Offline Files to cache large files like .pst and .mdb files. Because Offline Files in Windows XP could not synchronize large files efficiently, files like .pst and .mdb were by default not cached. Offline Files in Windows Vista can cache all file types and by default no file types are excluded.
Please note that the Bitmap Differential Transfer in only used when pushing changes from the client to the server. This optimization is not used when pulling changes from the server to the client. If a file is modified on the server when offline, Offline Files in Windows Vista will still copy the whole file down to the client during synchronization. The impact of this will be more pronounced for those users who modify the same files from multiple client computers.
Also, note that Bitmap Differential Transfer only works for pre-existing files that are modified in place. Bitmap Differential Transfer will not happen for files that are created while offline. Some applications, like Microsoft Word, do not modify the file in place. These applications create a new temporary file with the changes and later rename the temporary file to the original file. Bitmap Differential Transfer will not happen for such files.
All improvements to synchronization including Bitmap Differential Transfer will be available against any SMB server, for example, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows R2, NetAPP server, etc.
Offline Files in Windows Vista also provides per-user synchronization. All synchronization operations only synchronize files that the currently logged on user has access to. Offline Files in Windows XP would always try to synchronize all files in the cache including files that where cached by other users. The logged on user would see synchronization failures for the files that he did not have access to. In Windows Vista, the user will only synchronize his files (files that he has access to) therefore he will never see errors for files that belong to some other users (files that he does not have access to).
Also, synchronization of Offline Files in Windows Vista can be scripted using WMI.
Does the limitation that you mention WRT to Word files also apply to the Word 2007 file formats (which are similar to compressed folder, with individual files contained within)? Or only to Word 2003 (and older) files?
Jim Allchin blogs about changes to offline files in Vista and includes the great titbit of information that now, finally, the pc will only sync the files belonging to the user that is logging off so that the access denied...
This is all fantastic, but has there been any work on the CSCCMD such as addressing what appears to be the number 1 oversight - no command line to force a syncronisation?
This is absolutely critical in order to be able to automate a few things - eg for one client application, one user is virtually always out of the office and works with offline folders constatntly. But for him (using XP), he has to manually establish a VPN connection, then go and right click on the folder and syncronise, and then close the VPN connection after the sync has finished. This is a major pain to do manually. But this would be a really simple batch file if CSCCMD actually had a full range of options.
The new offlines files looks to be very promising; however, I am experiencing an unusual problem that I hope you might be able to help me diagnose. I am making changes against a Windows Server file system that has been "made available offline". Every file I changed fails to synchronize with the error "Access is denied." What permissions does the offline files engine require on the server to function properly? I am not experiencing this problem on XP.
Edan, check to see if oplocks have been disabled on the server. See article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296264/en-us for details.
Greg, I will follow up on your question.
I assume you're discussing possible updates to the CSCCMD utility to be used on Windows XP clients. As you may know, CSCCMD is not supported for Offline Files on Vista. On Vista that functionality has been replaced by a WMI provider to enable scripting of a subset of the Offline Files COM API. If you're interested in that see the classes in CIM Studio prefixed with the name Win32_OfflineFilesXxxxxxx. For synchronization you would use Win32_OfflineFilesCache.Synchronize. We're working on the documentation for MSDN. The documentation for the COM version is already present on MSDN. Just search for IOfflineFilesCache.
Now back to CSCCMD. There will be no further updates to CSCCMD. The desire for sync capability in that utility is well understood but the fact is that the the architecture of the Offline Files sync engine in Windows XP does not support adding that to a separate EXE such as CSCCMD. Even if this were possible, the current code is designed to work in an interactive GUI environment, not a scripted environment.
Note that there is a way to initiate a script of an item in the Offline Files cache on a Win2000 or WinXP system using the shell's object model. Using that model you can bind to the file or folder item then invoke the "sync" verb. That will perform the very same code that runs when the user right-clicks on an item in explorer and selects the "Synchronize" menu item. The one issue is that the sync progress UI will appear as will the conflict resolution UI should any sync conflicts be detected. Again, this is merely replicating what happens when the user clicks the menu item in explorer.
I hope this has helped explain the situation. We have received requests for sync capabilities in CSCCMD in the past but that is simply not possible given the architecture of the feature in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Thanks for the suggestion. Optimistic locking is enabled on both the client and server. And, permissions are right.
Could anything else be causing "Access Is Denied" when making changes offline files directories on my Vista x64 client?
For anyone else experieincing the "Access is denied." problem using offline files in Vista, be sure to adjust your server's share to provide Full Control for all users who need to write to offline files. This was not necessary under Windows XP and may be a bug in Vista. More can be found at http://help.wugnet.com/vista/Offline-Files-Access-Denied-error-ftopict42292.html
I have a crisis and was wondering if anyone can help. I use the offline files feature in XP Pro and it works fine. I'm in India on business, working with a partner. Their IP person connected me to their network so I could print somethings by changing the domain name in My Computer/Properties/Computer name, and in so doing "disconnected" me from my home network. I am now no longer able to access my on-line files,though I can "see" them in Windows Explorer. My IT people in the US say that they cannot reconnect me unless I am physically connected to the home network. While they can send me my week old files off the network, I have an enormous amount of work which I've done in the last week I need access to. Can anyone help? I'm on line and also at email@example.com
I have loaded 2 laptops with vista enterprise, they have been added into a SBS2003 domain, all the patches etc were loaded. The client wanted to make documents available offline from their home dir. So Simple right !! click the network folder and say make available offline and the files sync across to the laptop. so now if all is ok and its working fine you can either click and say work offline or disconnect and work offline ? Naada the files all say they are unavailable ..... vista is cr...p.. and so are ofline files.... plse respond to email@example.com
The seamless approach seems to be causing me a lot of problems. I have been using Offline files in XP and never encountered the following:
Being online I open a file on the network drive, my collegues are able to open the same file (all of them on XP) without any warning of it being locked /opened by me.
After saving the file I suddenly realise that soemone has been editing the network file, there is sync conflict and although being online I have edited the offine file????
Anyone else encountered similar problems?
As per the previous post from Fabian, regarding no warnings on offline files, i am seeing the same problem.
It seems to be also while in office, if a file is marked for offline sync, it is not locking or reporting open by another user (if file inuse).
For Example, we normally use Excel Spreadsheets for some reporting. Under XP, if you went to access this file, it would report "XYZ user has this file open, would you like to use read only"
Under Vista, we are seeing that no dialogue box or warning is happening, an constant saving over the file is happening resulting in loss of data.
I try to enable offline files and than I reboot, It always tells me that Offlines file won't be available until after I restart. Well I have restarted 10 times. Any suggestions. I am using Windows Vista Business
I have same trouble as Bob pot a 8:57 am on 1/23/08...
With XP I could make files in a WORKGROUP Share avaialble offline on another WORKGROUP peer....
With VISTA changes do my files have to be on a full fleged server?
When online where does the client read its file first the server or the cache? In XP didnt it always read frm the cache first while online? my observations seem to point that in Vista it always reads from the server while in online mode.
This has become an issue for me becuase some applications that rely heavily on a redirected folder, like if the application data is redirected or if the "my games" folder in the documetns folder, many games will store saved games and such there and saving or reading from that area is usually really slow or not at all due to anti piracy software restricting access to game data that is on a network share.
Can this behaviour be fine tuned?

Debian 5.0
Debian 5.0
The iconic Debian Project has long been a Linux leader. As the world's biggest and most popular community distro, Debian is built by a worldwide army of hundreds of developers. The focus is on freedom: Debian is 100% free software, with no proprietary applications or drivers. And Debian is stable.
The iconic Debian Project has long been a Linux leader. As the world's biggest and most popular community distro, Debian is built by a worldwide army of hundreds of developers. The focus is on freedom: Debian is 100% free software, with no proprietary applications or drivers. And Debian is stable. The long release cycles and thorough testing processes are reasons why this volunteer distro serves as a source for dozens of other Linux projects. The comprehensive testing system means that major Debian releases are typically so far apart that seasoned Debian watchers make a point of checking the progress at intermediate moments. We are proud to bring you the July 7, 2008, Debian 5.0 Lenny "testing" version as this month's Linux Magazine DVD.
What's New
Debian 5.0 Lenny comes with Linux kernel 2.6.24, and you'll find new and improved features throughout the vast Debian application set. Write to NTFS partitions with ntfs-3g. Monitor your network with Nagios 3. The Gnome 2.22 desktop rolls out several useful new features, such as native Flash support and automatic configuration of hotplug printers, offering improvements to applications such as the Evolution mail and calendaring client, the Evince document viewer, the Totem movie player, and the Network-manager and Power-Manager admin utilities. Also included with Debian 5.0 are X.org 7.3, OpenOffice 2.4, Gimp 2.4, and Inkscape 0.46, as well as the Iceweasel 2.0 web browser (Debian's all-free version of Firefox).
Debian veterans remember long installations with geeks-only utilities and text-based installers, but recent Debian versions have come with a simple yet sophisticated graphical installer. The Debian 5.0 installer includes several improvements, making Debian as easy to install and configure as an ordinary desktop system. New features include a new boot menu, better language support, improved mouse configuration, and support for encrypted partitions.
Package Management
Debian's Apt package system provides a simple and reliable structure for installing and managing software. Either install the packages easily from the command line, or use one of the many GUI-based tools designed for managing Debian packages.
This single DVD will help you get started with Debian on a 32-bit or 64-bit Intel or equivalent system. If you slip the disc in your drive, you'll find an easy installer with improved hardware detection. The package system will help you keep current and find the applications you need. We hope you enjoy this month's Debian Lenny DVD.
Supported Hardware
Intel 386: Lenny needs at least a 486 Pentium or compatible CPU by AMD or VIA, an Athlon XP, or a P4 Xeon. AMD64: Standard computer with the AMD 64-bit extension or Intel EM64T.
The Debian installer requires a minimum of 64MB of memory and 500MB of disk space. Debian recommends 256MB of memory and a 1GB hard drive for a text-based system or 512MB of memory with a 5GB hard drive for a desktop system.
Double-Sided DVD
This month's Debian DVD is a double-sided disc, with a 32-bit version on one side and a 64-bit version on the other. DVD devices already read the side of the disc that is facing down. This disc is labeled like a normal DVD – the label you see as you place the disc into the tray applies to the data on the opposite side. For example, if you are installing the 32-bit version, the 32-bit label should be facing up in the tray.
Help & Support
For questions about Debian installation, see the Debian Installation Guide http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/installmanual. Also, you will find useful information at the Debian forums http://forums.debian.net/ and the Debian wiki http://wiki.debian.org/.

The district unit of Kudumbasree poverty eradication mission will generate 10,000 new jobs during the current financial year as part of the mission's social security campaign aimed at securing livelihood for people in the economically disadvantaged groups.
An official of the Kudumbasree mission said on Monday that 10,000 of the new jobs would come in the farming sector with groups of women taking up collective farming on leased land.
Another 10,000 jobs will be created in the micro and tiny sectors for people skilled in various crafts and food processing, among others. Kudumbasree mission will also help 5,000 women find placement in different jobs depending on their skills.
The mission will extend its social security projects like Ashraya — housing for the homeless — and establish 12 more Buds schools for mentally challenged children in the districts. Thirty-three libraries will be established as part of the mission improving its reach through the Balasabhas, councils of children spread across the 84 panchayats in the district.
The mission has also formed 2,438 new neighbourhood groups in the district as part of a total inclusion campaign.
With these, the number of neighbourhood groups in the district has gone up to over 20,000, with over four lakh women members in it.
The State has seen an addition of 31,557 new neighbourhood groups under the total inclusion campaign, which is aimed at bringing all the economically disadvantaged families in the State under the Kudumbasree mission.

Um, No, I coooked this for my gathering for my sisters marrige and this was a disapointer for the crowd. they expected more of me, Cause after all, Im a chef and they always eat what I prepare for them, I made them Chicken and said "Hey Maybe I'll Give Them A delicious Desert to Enjoy" And I've never made anything like this before. so I gave it a shot,Biggest mistake ever for a chef, I thought this seemed good by all the positive feedback so I went along with it. I was confused........
This was very good. Very sweet though. I liked the tropical flavors. I didn't add the milk though since the pineapple was a bit juicy even after I drained it. I used colored mini marshmallows and crushed pineapple because it is what I had. Good stuff. Thanks!

Los Angeles TimesLike other writers, Jim Sleeper emphasizes the importance of overcoming a fragmenting culture, but he has a keener sense of the role of market capitalism, as well as liberal ideology. His Liberal Racism is the most intellectually sophisticated of these critiques, the most resistant to ideological formula. It is also the only one that treats race relations as more than a crisis in black and white.

Because it is desirable to verify that either 1. The person in front of the system really is the logged-in user and authorizes an action 2. The person in front of the system really is an administrator An example where 1. is useful includes, funny enough, a last guard against having malware dial 1-900 numbers in other countries at $50 per hour - e.g. NetworkManager should only allow connections previously marked as trusted to use the modem to dial out. (OK, so having malware in the first place is bad... having it cost you $50/minute because someone wasn't thinking right when designing the OS is even worse. So this guard really is warranted. Notably Windows has suffered from this issue and it is naive to think that the Linux desktop won't suffer from this once we get many more users than the 1% of the market we have right now.) An example where 2. is useful includes lockdown - e.g. as a head of household you may restrict other users from installing new software while still allowing them to update existing software providing it is signed. So you ask for administrator authentication. There are many other examples. Just use your imagination. David

Joe Budden - R.I.P.
Artist: Joe Budden
Producer: J. Cardim
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 31 votes )
Joe Budden's never been a pacifist, but even for him he's been on a particular rampage lately. The latest addition to Budden's enormous "tracks where rappers get served hard" catalog is R.I.P., a net-only banger that was the product of a late-night studio session. Produced by regular production partner J. Cardim, who puts together a beat that at first sounds like a montage from a '80s sports movie before turning on the juice, R.I.P. appropriately kills any wack rappers that dare stand in its path. In typical fashion Budden drops a notebook's worth of material on the track, but my favorite line is "I refuse to ball my fist when the heart of New Jersey's in my hand." That, my friends, is the definition of dope lyricism. R.I.P. won't be included on Budden's upcoming album The Great Escape, which currently has no release date, but in the meantime I think we can all rest assured this is far from the last we've heard from Joey.

Rangana Herath returned career—best match figures of 12-157 to propel Sri Lanka to a seven-wicket win against Bangladesh on the fourth day of the second test and seal a 1-0 series victory.
Chasing 160 to win on Tuesday, Sri Lanka reached the target losing three wickets in the final session, led by Tillakaratne Dilshan (57) and Kumar Sangakkara (55).
Seamer Robiul Islam took the wickets of both openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Dilshan.

Dam Square, Amsterdam

This irregular rectangular square half a mile south of Central Station is a logical starting spot for any historically oriented visitor to Amsterdam. It is stated to be the site of the original dam across the Amstel River in the 13th Century, allowing for the first time direct communication by land between settlements on the banks. Historians are unsure of the exact year, even the century - it seems likely that earth dikes and other dams were present here for many years as the name Amsterdam is documented at least 100 years earlier. Gradually the dam grew in size, with two squares later combined to the present one. Ships sailed right up the river and loaded and unloaded cargo right onto the square, a safe harbor and one of the factors favoring the city's development as a world trade center. The river was filled in during the 19th Century becoming the main thoroughfare named Damrak, today a totally tourist oriented location.
The square is a natural gathering place for both visitors and locals, served by multiple tram lines and easily reached on foot from anywhere in the central city. Important buildings of historic import surround much of the square, although sadly Madame Tussaud's Wax Emporium also fronts. On one corner stands the venerable high class Krasnopolski Hotel. Important activities include people watching in good weather, gathering at the National Monument, watching street performers, and feeding fat pigeons. During the latter part of our visit, a travelling carnival ( image 4 ) set up a group of rides and food kiosks with resultant chaos - certainly hope that square view rooms in the big hotel are soundproof.
But Dam Square is lacking in some amenities normally seen in major squares both in other cities and in Amsterdam. The surrounding buildings are important tourist attractions but the facades are generally drab and grey and there were no cafes or open air restaurants directly on the square, detractions. The original high yellow sandstone exterior of the Royal Palace now offers the dull grey of auto exhaust. The square remains most important in the historical context.
The historical centre of Amsterdam is situated between Central Station (north), Muntplein (south), Spuistraat (west) and Rokin, Damrak (east).
This is the commercial and economical part of Amsterdam. Here you will find a lot of shops in pedestriazed zones all leading to the most important square of the city "Dam". On this square you can admire the National Monument, New Church and Royal Palace.
Dam Square is the main town square in Amsterdam. Its notable buildings and frequent events (as street artists) make it one of the most well-known and important locations in the city. It lies in the historical center of Amsterdam, not far from the main transportation hub, Centraal Station. It is roughly rectangular in shape. A short distance beyond the northeast corner lies the main red-light district, de Wallen. On the west end of the square is the neoclassical Royal Palace, beside it are the 15th-century Gothic Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) and the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. The National Monument, a white stone pillar erected in 1956 to memorialize the victims of World War II, dominates the opposite side of the square. Also overlooking the plaza are the NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky and the upscale department store De Bijenkorf.
La Plaza Dam es la principal de plaza de Ámsterdam. Sus destacados edicios y los frecuentes eventos (como espectáculos callejeros) convierten la plaza es uno de los lugares más importantes de la ciudad. Se encuentra en el centro de Ámsterdam, no lejos del príncipal polo de transportes, la Estación Central. Es prácticamente rectangular. A muy poca distancia de su esquina noreste está el principal barrio rojo, el Wallen. Al oeste se encuentra el neoclásico Palacio Real, junto a él la iglesia gótica del siglo XV Nieuwe Kerk (Nueva Iglesia) y el museo de cera Madame Tusseaud's. El Monumento Nacional, un pilar de piedra blanca erigido en 1956 para recordar a las víctimas de la II Guerra Mundial, domina el lado opuesto de la plaza. También dominando la plaza se encuentran el Gran Hotel NH Krasnapolsky y el enorme centro comercil De Bijenkorf.
A lively and vast expanse of cobbled area surrounded by grand but grey buildings. Not a scenic place - it lacks colour and it needs some flowers – and maybe some GRASS (the kind you can sit on)!!
There was also a distinct feeling that you weren't supposed to outstay your welcome here – because unless you sat on the steps of the monument, there was nowhere else to sit!
Oh, and don't forget to drop a coin or two in their collection hat if you want a pic of the living statues – they can get quite upset if you try and snap them - as this guy did with me! (If he hadn't been so rude, he might have got something!!)
I was wandering the city w/out a map, exited a side street and entered Dam Square! I sat at a cafe and consulted my map to see where I really was at that point. Coming from the back of the monument, all I saw was a phallic pilar flanked by naked male bums of stone ... nice, but I really wanted to know more about it :)
This area is a hub of activity, and a great place to use a guide - if you know where you are staying in relation to Dam Square, you can never get lost!
This area has tons of history, so the link I've provided will let you know, what I didn't :)
NOTE: the original links I provided are no longer active. A real shame since they were amazing and full of information. I have updated the links today, but they aren't as good - so I will be continuing to look for other links that provide more history of the Square, and the feelings behind the monument.
Walking along Rokin street up from the Leidseplein, my friend and I came upon Dam Square. The first thing that appeared in our field of vision was the Dam National Monument, the grand pilar situated in the middle of the square. But the next thing that caught both of our eyes were all the bikes that were parked in the square. Now granted, Amsterdam is the city of bicycles, and there are bikes being ridden all over the city. But I had not seen that many bikes grouped together since my visit to the Schwinn factory outlet (see my page on that visit, JUST KIDDING!). Anyways, after the intial bike trauma you may or may not experience, you will notice the lovely Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace), the Niewe Kerk church, and of course, Madame Tussauds. And don't leave without checking out some of the street performers, just make sure you tip 'em if you want to snap a photo!
At the end of the 13th century the first people (fishermen) settled here along the river Amstel and built a dyke (=dam). This is where the name Amsterdam is derived from.
So this square is the real heart and oldest part of Amsterdam.
Today, this is a very lively square with lots of tourists, shoppers and street animators. During the night, you will find drugs users here looking for some drugs and money.
Although you will pay the dearest prices in town, why not have a drink or meal at a cafe on Dam Square, Amsterdam's main square, and do some people watching.
We had breakfast at one of the cafe's and noted that all the locals there just had a beer for their breakfast!!
The "Dam Square" is the central most part of Amsterdam, minus Central Station. Its called "de Dam" in Dutch, or simply "The Dam". Here resides notable buildings and events that bring together more visitors to the Netherlands than any other places in the country. Deep in the historical center of the city, it is located only 750 meters from "Centraal Station" - the main transportation hub. The square is rectangular in shape, roughly 200 x 100 meters in dimension. It connects Damrak, Rokin, Muntplein (Coin square), Nieuwendijk, Kalverstraat, Damstraat, and Muttoren streets. The main Red Light District (de Wallen) is a hop and a skip from here. On the west end is the neoclassical Royal Palace, bordered by the 15th century Gothic Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), and the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. The National Monument is in its heart which is a white stone pillar designed by J.J.P. Oud in 1956 to memorialize the victims of WWII, and is one of the most famous meeting places in the city, and is where the New Amsterdam tours meet daily. The NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky and the upscale department store "De Bijenkorf" also border the square. The square was originally a Dam built in 1270 until 1544 in the river Amstel. As the dam built up, it became wide enough for a town square, as the city developed around it. The square began with the "Naatje of the Dam" statue in 1890, but was taken down in 1914. The weigh house that once stood here was demolished in 1808 by order of Louis Bonaparte who complained it blocked his view from the royal palace. The Damrak of the Amstel River was partially filled in during the 19th century and became the land blocked square it is now since then. The first stock exchange, the Beurs van Zocher was also originally housed here, where the department store now sits. The square became a "national" square well known to everyone in the Netherlands and became the main location for demonstrations, riots, street performers, meetings, and celebrations. Every May 4th it houses the National Memorial Day celebration at the monument. Queens Day hosts a big funfair in the center. Throughout the year various fairs and carnivals will set up here too.
I found the Dam square full of hustle and bustle, lots of people, some with work, others without, just people watching. It is a central area in Amsterdam close to the main railway station Centraal. The dam square hosts the Madame Tussaud's wax museum, the Royal palace and the national monument and is also an entry or exit way to the famous Red Light District. However, while I have heard a lot of people going there just for people watching, I had a different experience. I came across a variety of vehicles there and was impressed. So here are some of them.
Centre of town is the "Dam"-square. Here used to be a dam in the river "Amstel" and the start of our nations capitol was a fact. Now-a-days this square is not only the centre of Amsterdam, but on certain days also the centre of our whole country. Royal highlights (like changes of the crown or – like lately – the wedding of crownprince Willem-Alexander are held here. The palace, a prominent building on the square, gets back then his official royal function. The new church (pressed in the corner right of the palace) is the place where the rituals are taking place then. On the 4th of May the ceremonies around the "monument" (white column with sculptures) are followed by almost all Dutch, in rememberance of all those who fell for the peace in the world.
After walking through Damrak you will reach Dam Square - a bustling city centre square with loads of things to do and see. As many streets in Amsterdam, this square is crossed by trams, so any attempt to shoot a photo will be crossed by those electrical lines up there. As i visited Amsterdam by the end of November, Dam Square had some x-mas decoration and some wooden stands selling sweets. I even found a clown hanging around amusing children.
As you reach Dam Square you will be able to see: Madame Tussauds Museum, Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), the National Monument and the Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace).
The Dam square in Amsterdam is a natural centre of the city. The square is surrounded by famous landmarks such as the Royal Palace, Nieuwe Kerk, National monument and Madame Tussauds. The distance from the central station. It is 750 meters from the the Central station, and you pass through the river Damrak on the way. There are also several tram lines stops here.
Not damn! it's Dam. you'll never complete with an Amsterdam visit if you haven't hangout at the huge dam square.
It's a 10-15 minutes walk from Amsterdam Central Station or you may wish to take the tram to get here. The Royal Palace, Nieuwe Kerk, Madame Tussaud's museum, the National Monument, etc.
It's the meeting place for most m- like the free walking tour that I took - as it's known to everyone. There are also a lot of people doing their own show - magic, acrobat, what-have-they - also there was a political demonstration of a small group from I think Azerbaijan when I was there.
It's the town square so definitely it would be your first sight after walking along Damrak.
It's a place where many tourist meet. Around the Dam square you'll find several attractions; the Royal Palace, Nieuwe kerk (with several exhibitions), Bijenkorf (one of Amsterdams largest luxury shops.), monument on the Dam, pigeons, and start of several shopping streets.
