WASHINGTON — Terrorism is speech – speech that gathers its audience by killing innocents as theatrically as possible. The 19th-century anarchist Paul Brousse called it "propaganda by deed." Accordingly, the Boston Marathon attack, the first successful terror bombing in the United States since 9/11, was designed for maximum effect. At the finish line there would be not only news cameras but also hundreds of personal videos to amplify the message.
But what message? There was no claim of responsibility, no explanatory propaganda.
And even though we know who did it, at this writing there still is no definitive explanation. The Tsarnaev brothers are Chechens. The older one appears to have become radicalized.
He is reported to have shared radical Islamic videos urging jihad. One, for example, that showed bombs exploding was captioned "then Allah will rise an army from the non-Arabs … their weapon will be the weapon of faith."
Uncharacteristically for Islamist terrorism, however, the Boston bombing produced no claim of responsibility.
What does this mean?
There was much ado about President Obama's nonuse of the word "terrorism" in his first statement to the nation after the bombing.
Indeed, the very next morning, he took to the White House briefing room for no other reason than to pronounce the event an "act of terrorism."
There was no need to be so sensitive about the omission, however. The president said that terrorism is any bombing aimed at civilians. Not quite. Terrorism is any attack on civiliansfor a political purpose. Until you know the purpose, you can't know if it is terrorism.
Sometimes an attack can have no purpose. The Tucson shooter who nearly killed Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was simply deranged, a certified paranoid schizophrenic. Or there might be some personal vendetta – a purpose, but not political.
In this case it's extremely improbable. (Schizophrenics are too disorganized to set off simultaneous bombs, for example.) It's overwhelmingly likely that the Tsarnaev brothers were politically motivated.
Why was the president sensitive about his nonuse of the word "terrorism" in the first place? Answer: Benghazi. There, the administration had been roundly and correctly criticized for refusing to call it terrorism for so long.
Regarding Benghazi, however, the word mattered. The administration tried to peddle the story of a spontaneous demonstration, rather than a terrorist attack, in order to place the blame on a mob incited by a nutty Coptic American who had made an offensive video. This would have spared the administration any culpability.
In Boston, in contrast, there never was any question about deliberateness.
Here, the linguistic challenge for the president is quite different. What if this was an attack inspired by Islamist ideology?
Most Chechen terrorism has been nationalist and aimed at Russia, which has twice waged war and is now engaged in a counterinsurgency to suppress Chechen separatism. Some of the most gruesome terrorist attacks of our time – the attack on a Moscow theater and on Beslan's School No. 1 – were the work of Chechen separatists.
But many other Chechen fighters are religiously oriented, having enlisted in the worldwide jihad and fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Balkans, some reportedly now in Syria.
If the Tsarnaevs are anti-Russian nationalists, it's hard to see why they would be attacking American civilians. It's far more likely that their motive was Islamist.
And here the president faces a challenge. Will Obama level with the American people and use the word? His administration obsessively adopts language that extirpates any possible connection between Islam and terrorism. It insists on calling jihadists "violent extremists" without ever telling us what they're extreme about. It even classified the Fort Hood shooting, in which the killer screamed "Allahu Akbar" as he murdered 13 people, as "workplace violence."
In a speech just last month in Jerusalem, the president referred to the rising tide of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists as the rise of "non-secular parties."
Non-secular? Isn't that a euphemism for "religious," i.e., Islamist?
Yet Obama couldn't say the word. This is no linguistic triviality. He wouldn't be tripping over himself to avoid any reference to Islam if it was insignificant.
Obama has performed admirably during the Boston crisis, speaking both reassuringly and with determination. But he continues to be linguistically uneasy.
His wavering over the word terrorism is telling, though in this case unimportant.
The real question is: If it turns out that the Tsarnaev brothers were acting in the name of jihad, will the president forthrightly say so to the American people?

Antares VS is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine
If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders' width apart), you are a chameleon. Your degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far, before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position. You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.
Provided this saddle's width isn't too narrow for them, some women may find this model comfortable due to the presence of the relief channel.
Specification information
|ICS: (Integrated Clip System) A convenient design that allows Fi'zi:k bags and lights to be attached instantly to the saddle base. no additional brackets or tools required.
About Performance Saddles
Performance saddles are narrower than the models designed for shorter ride comfort. They're intended for riders who have a committed riding style with weight on hands and feet so they're narrower and lighter. High tech padding materials and flexible body designs keep your pressure points comfortable and lightweight chassis components keep the weight down. Most have some kind of ergonomic design to reduce pressure on nerves and allow unrestriced blood flow to your sensitive areas. Womens models have a wider design to suit their naturally wider pelvis. Saddle widths vary across the ranges from narrow (upto 130mm), medium (upto 138mm) to wide (upto 146mm). Narrower saddles are the popular choice for longer distance riders as they do not cause the hips to be placed in an unnatural position. Wider saddles will often feel comfortable initially due to their greater surface area but then progressively decrease in comfort as the miles increase, the correct choice of saddle is a case of getting the balance between initial comfort and overall comfort.
About the Fizik brand
Fi'zi:k is the premium, racing brand of Selle Royal S.p.a. Its name is synonymous with the shape and form of the human body; hence the intuitive association with products that are contact points between riders and their bikes. More than this, fi'zi:k represents beauty, speed, passion, freedom for those who race against each other, race against the clock and for enthusiast cyclists around the world who identify with the feeling of the fire of competition. The humble origin in 1998 stemmed from a vision to improve rider performance by creating superior saddle comfort. Today's Spine Concept™ provides a guideline to help riders find their most comfortable saddle. Integral to this comfort is the design collaboration with professional athletes and the fact that each saddle is 100% "fatto a mano" (hand-made) in Italy. Some credit Fi'zi:k with redefining the racing saddle category thanks to its destructively-innovative elegant products that are not only comfortable, but also a source of style and beauty in their own right. The Arione, launched in 2003 is one such example. In 2006 fi'zi:k launched a product for riders' hands: a strong, washable Microtex bar tape. Shoes were then launched in 2010 offering a unique blend of innovative materials with an inimitable style. 2014 sees fi'zi:k launch road cockpit components employing The Spine Concept™ to help riders choose their perfect handlebar shape. In 2013 fi'zi:k saddles were ridden by 8 out of the 19 UCI World Tour Teams. Fi'zi:k's relentless innovation is facilitated by many such committed professional athletes, from all cycling disciplines. Relentless testing and refinement has helped fi'zi:k to push the boundaries of possibility. It will come as little surprise then that Fi'zi:k products have been ridden to many Cycling World titles, Ironman World Championship titles and beyond.

Could Chargers' Jackson be gone?
Chargers spoke with Seattle, others interested in receiver
Rather than waiting for Jackson to show up and then not knowing at what level he will play, the Chargers could receive draft picks, players or both in exchange for a player who is coming to be known as one of the league's most dangerous weapons.
While the Chargers could use the franchise tag on Jackson in 2011, they would likely prefer to have that available in case they can't come to terms with McNeill.
For Marshall, the Broncos received a second-round pick in this year's draft and a second-rounder in 2011. Marshall, the primary target on a less-productive offense, is one of just two players to top 100 catches the past three seasons. Over the past two seasons, he has the same number of touchdown catches and 120 more yards than Jackson.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Frans Steyn says he has already improved as a player at French club Racing Metro.
In South Africa, Steyn was known for his physicality, big boot and defence, brute strength and his ability to smash defensive lines.
However, since his move to Racing Metro after the Tri-Nations, the Bok fullback said he has had to adapt to the speed and skill of the rugby in the French Top 14.
'I had to adapt my game considerably,' he told Die Burger. 'I had to lose weight to gain more speed and greater explosiveness from standing positions on the field. The fields are muddy and heavy. You can't afford to be too heavy because then you will not make it.
'The skill of the French players immediately impressed me, particularly the manner in which they attack space. I'm enjoying learning as much as possible from my team-mates, which includes players from different countries.'
Since Steyn made his debut for Racing, he has helped them to eight consecutive victories, which has seen them rise to third on the log.
His most recent heroics came in the 28-15 win over Toulon last Sunday, where he scored 11 points through two trademark long-range penalties and a try.
'I'm enjoying it. I am in the best physical condition of my life [he lost 7kg] and have not been on the losing side in a Top 14 game for Racing Metro,' said Steyn. 'I can play instinctively. It really makes me happy. I have discovered strengths that I was not previously aware of during this short period.'
Steyn, who is mainly used at inside centre, added that he feels there are aspects of his game that he can work on.
'But there are also aspects of my game which I thought were good that I have to improve. The more you achieve in your career, the harder you have to work. No attribute is as important as putting the team's needs before your own,' he said.

Pentagon highlighting bomber missions in Korea
Monday - 3/18/2013, 1:15pm EDT
By ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States is flying nuclear-capable B-52 bombers on training missions over South Korea to highlight Washington's commitment to defend an ally amid rising tensions with North Korea, Pentagon officials said Monday.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said one B-52 flew over South Korea on March 8, and the deputy defense secretary, Ashton Carter, said during a visit to Seoul that another bomber mission is scheduled for Tuesday.
B-52 bombers are capable of launching nuclear-armed cruise missiles, but Little said those participating in the Korean exercise are not armed with nuclear weapons.
The use of Air Force warplanes as part of an annual U.S.-South Korean military exercise called Foal Eagle is not unusual. But the Pentagon used the occasion to draw attention to the role B-52 bombers play as part of an American nuclear "umbrella" over South Korea and Japan _ both of which feel threatened by North Korea's development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
"We're deeply concerned about North Koreans behavior and rhetoric," Little told reporters.
In a more dramatic demonstration of that concern, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Friday announced that the U.S. is beefing up its defenses against a potential North Korean missile attack on the U.S. He said that over the coming four years the Pentagon will add 14 missile interceptors to the 26 it already has in place at Fort Greely, Alaska, at an estimated cost of $1 billion.
Hagel cited three recent developments in North Korea that prompted the Obama administration to act, including a nuclear test in February deemed reckless by Washington and condemned by the United Nations Security Council.
Hagel also cited Pyongyang's launch in December of a rocket that put a satellite into space and demonstrated mastery of some of the technologies needed to produce a long-range nuclear missile. And he noted that last April the North Koreans put on public display a road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile, the KN-08. Navy Adm. James Winnefeld Jr., vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that missile is believed to be capable of reaching U.S. territory.
Although not mentioned by Hagel, the North Koreas raised tensions further by threatening last Thursday to pre-emptively attack the U.S. Among its recent declarations, North Korea has said it will no longer recognize the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War, though it has made such remarks before.
Carter said in Seoul on Monday that he discussed with South Korean officials the North's "continued pattern of provocative actions" and offered assurances that the budget crisis in Washington will not weaken the U.S. military commitment to South Korea.
North Korea routinely condemns U.S. and South Korean military exercises as provocations and unwarranted preparations for war.

Hyperintensity is a term used to describe how the part of an image looks on MRI scan. To get a good look at brain tissue which differs from surrounding tissue, there are a variety of sequences used (ie. T1, T2 or FLAIR) which highlight or suppress types of tissue so that abnormalities can be seen.
Hyperintensity on a T2 sequence basically means that the brain tissue in that particular spot differs from the rest of the brain. A bright spot on T2 is nonspecific by itself and must be interpreted within clinical context (symptoms, why you had the MRI done in the first place, etc). T2 hyperintensities may occur in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis , vasculitis (inflammation of the arteries in the brain), lyme disease - anything with a high water or protein content will tend to appear very bright on the T2 sequence.
The FLAIR sequence is used to suppress the hyperintense signal produced by water (or cerebrospinal fluid) in the brain. This is especially helpful when looking for lesions around the brain ventricles (which contain cerebrospinal fluid).
When we're talking about hyperintensities as seen on MRI in the context of MS, we are talking about lesions .

Whether surprising or not, it worked without doing any labeling on the fd. I don't know if that's a hole in SELinux. In fact, it's more than just the SELinux labeling - it's also the DAC labeling (that is, pre-patch, the file is owned by qemu:qemu during the migration, then chown'd back to root:root on completion; post-patch, the file is never chown'd in the first place, and it is the SCM_RIGHTS of the open fd that lets a non-root process write into a 600 root:root file). But that's not a hole (it's always been possible in Unix to do things on open fds where you can't do the same by attempting open() yourself on the same underlying file - for example, open(file,O_CREAT|O_RDWR,0000) lets you read and write into a temporary fd that not even another process with the same uid can reopen. Or put another way, an open fd is stateful - it remembers the permissions at the time of the open, and not is not impacted by any intervening chmod or chown of the underyling file). > > If it passed testing with SELinux in enforcing mode, then ACK It does indeed pass (to my relief). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

A man was killed, and two others injured, after a private bus rammed into their car near Ujire early on Friday morning. Around 6.50 a.m., Prajwal, Aditya and Nityananda, who reside in Bangalore, were headed towards Ujire from Belthangady, when an oncoming speeding private bus, that had veered to the wrong side of the road, crashed into them, said the Belthangady police.
While Prajwal and the driver Aditya have been admitted to the hospital with serious injuries, Nityananda succumbed to his injuries later. The driver of the bus has been arrested.
Police accused of assault
Police have begun investigation into a complaint filed by a truck driver, who alleged he was assaulted by three police personnel, near Kumbra, Puttur taluk.
The complaint names four police constables: Harish, Dayanand (prime accused) and Gangadhara and Ramesh.
"Depending on the report of the Deputy Superintendent of Police, we shall take appropriate action," said Superintendent of Police Abhishek Goyal.
According to the Puttur Rural Police, on Saturday afternoon, Mohammad Nazir, from Haryana, had "run away" when the police were checking his arecanut-loaded vehicle. When the police chased him to Kumbra village, a large number of people surrounded Mr. Nazir, who had accused them of assaulting him.
However, in his complaint Mr. Nazir alleges that he did not see the police who were gesturing out of a non-police vehicle. He further alleges that he was targeted and beaten because of the community he belongs to.

Sewn Spring Chicken

Looking for an adorable sewing Easter project? Look no further. This tutorial from Heather Parsons gives you the steps it takes to make your cute Easter chicks.
These can be made for scraps you have laying around your house. They are super fast to make but do involve sewing. I used my sewing machine but you could do them by hand it would just take longer. Hot glue is also needed.
- Cut out pattern pieces and the appropriate number of pieces of fabric according to the pattern. The pattern has a piece for the beak but I keep it as a general rule of thumb that I never cut out a pattern piece that small, I always just eye ball those kind of pieces.
- Sew together the body pieces-right sides together-leaving a small opening for turning. Backstitch both sides of your opening. Repeat for the head. Turn right sides out.
- Using beans, rice or popcorn pour some into the bottom of the body to weigh it down. I used popcorn. This isn't necessary depending on what you will use these for but if you want them to stand on their own like in a little nest then you will want to do this.
- Fill the remainder of the body with stuffing and the head too. Don't over stuff.
- Sew openings closed. I didn't bother tucking in my opening edges or even trying to hide the opening in any way because both will be hidden when you assemble the chick.
- To make some hair gather a small bunch of yarn like so and....
- glue it to the back of the head like so with hot glue. Then cut the folds and trim to uneven lengths.
- like this.
- To make the beak, take the beak piece you cut out and put a small dab of hot glue in the middle and fold it in half. This will make the beak so that it stays partly closed on the chick and doesn't just flap open. Hot glue the beak to the head piece. Add eyes. I drew mine with a marker and I used some chalk to make cheeks. Then glue the head to the body.
- Here is a side view.
- Finally take the scarf/blanket piece and tie it around your chick with a knot. I tied mine to the side a bit. This will cover up the seam on the head. You could glue this in place. I didn't.

I like it8/13/2010
We bought three of these unit and I think they are fine
Large LED Lasts Long Time3/1/2010
This light really does the trick since it comes on when the power goes out. The Single LED is a Large Bulb not a dinky one like were all used to. After Hours of use it never dimmed. The Kids can play with it too since it's rechargeable, who cares!!!Its also very Durable. I used it in the rain with no problem. If you live in a hurricane prone area , Get one or 5 ___ J. Shepherd Texas
Awsome little light1/18/2010
I have a couple bigger rechargeable lights that I use around the farm here and I really didn't expect much light out of this small flashlight. I was just getting it so I had some close at hand when the electric goes out. But one night I grabbed this to go outside and close the chickens up and I couldn't believe the amount of light it puts out. It is really awesome. It really lights up a pretty good size area. I've started carrying this at night now because it fits in my pocket and now I am going to order a couple more.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Great Light1/1/2010
I have one and bought one for my Mom, nice light.
I like it12/29/2009
A good bright light with a 2-3'spot & 30' distance, all for the price of two packs of batteries. I bought three.
Nice performance12/2/2009
I purchased this light for small size, rechargeable, good review. And it really nice product for the price. Bright led light for personal use. It serves its purpose.
I was impressed with this light. Totally blows away the conventional flashlights. A side by side look at the lighted area makes me throw the conventional lights in the trash. A must have replacement for all my rechargeable emergency lights. I got several to keep plugged in around the house
Garrity rechargeable flashlight8/9/2008
I was replacing an old rechargeble flashlight with this Garrity product. It has a much brighter and concentrated beam. It is very compact which is nice because it is plugged in a hallway. I am very pleased with my purchase. The price was right, delivery was fast and the flashlight is of excellent quality. I would recommend this flashlight to anyone who wants to keep an emergency light on hand. I also would recommend Buy.com a great vendor.11 Helpful | 2 Not Helpful

The most common side effects that required intervention had to do with infusions. These included muscle and joint aches, headache, fever, rash, hives, itching and increased blood pressure. These side effects decreased over time with continued ELAPRASE treatment.
About half of the patients in clinical studies produced antibodies to treatment with ELAPRASE and these patients had an increase in infusion reactions. The presence of antibodies on the effectiveness of ELAPRASE is unknown.
More information about ELAPRASE and Hunter syndrome is available at http://www.elaprase.com or http://www.hunterpatients.com.
About Hunter Syndrome
Hunter syndrome (MPS II) is a serious genetic disorder mainly affecting males that interferes with the body's ability to break down and recycle waste substances called mucopolysaccharides, also known as glycosaminoglycans or GAG. Hunter syndrome is one of several related lysosomal storage diseases.
In Hunter syndrome, cumulative build up of GAG in cells throughout the
body interferes with the way certain tissues and organs function, leading
to severe clinical complications and early mortality. Physical
manifestations for some people with Hunter syndrome may include distinct
facial features, a large head and an enlarged abdomen. People with Hunter
syndrome may also experience hearing loss, thickening of the heart valves
leading to a decline in cardiac function, obstructive airway disease, sleep
apnea, and enl

Excessive oil consumption—defined as more than one quart per 1,000 miles (on vehicles with less than 50,000 miles) or more than one quart per 750 miles (on vehicles with more than 50,000 miles)—is common. Common causes include exhaust valve guides, valve cover gaskets, camshaft plugs, camshaft seals, and crankshaft seal.
Shifting harshness and shuddering issues related to the operation of the automatic transmission have been addressed by factory service bulletins. The shuddering can feel like the vehicle is being driven over rumble strips.
Intermittently, the key may not start the car or release from the ignition. If it is excessively worn, replace the key. If the new key doesn't work, replacing the lock cylinder including tumblers should correct this concern.
Some vehicles may develop a musty odor coming from the HVAC system, Dodge has issued a cleaner/disinfectant and a coating for the evaporator designed to inhibit bacterial growth.
Headlight switches can fail, causing the headlights to intermittently stay in the on or off position. Repeatedly turning the switch on and off may temporarily fix the problem. Replacement of the switch is needed to resolve this issue.
Remote start fails to start vehicle or vehicle starts and then shuts off within 2 min. Problem occurs at random. Dealer replecated problem but currenly unable to fix.
The front legs for the third row bench seat may not retract. Our technicians tells us a new parts kit and/or spring is available to correct this concern.
One or more power windows may stop working due to a failed regulator or motor which will require replacement. Our technicians tell us the regulator and motor is replaced as a set on these vehicles.
There have been reports of excess oil consumption due to oil burning in the combustion chamber. This can be occurring even without the traditional blue oil smoke noted from the tail pipe. In some cases this oil consumption is due to problems with the PCV system. It is recommend a complete inspection of the PVC system, including this oil baffle inside the valve cover, be performed if excess oil consumption is noted. According to the manufacturer, usage of 1quart of oil every 1,000 miles is acceptable.
I have had the Van for 2 months. The A/C was hissing and then blowing warm air. Lucky still have the manufactures warrenty and I am told the rear evaporater needs to be replaced. I am still waiting for this part to arrive so far 1 week has passed and it will be July this week. I need this fixed asap.
A failing head lamp switch can cause the head lamps and/or instrument cluster lighting to flicker or dim. The head lamp switch should have a noticeable click between each position; a "mushy" feel is a strong indication of a failing switch.
A dirty throttle body may cause low engine idle speed or frequent stalling, as oily residue blocks air flow in the throttle when the throttle is closed. Throttle body cleaning may be necessary to correct this condition. Our technicians caution against spraying cleaner directly onto the throttle body as this may damage the throttle position sensor (TPS).
A "tapping plate cage" on the driver side frame rail may cause a squeak or tick noise while driving, this is often misdiagnosed as a suspension problem. The tapping plate is a threaded plate which accepts one of the front sub-frame mounting bolts. The "cage" of the threaded plate may be touching the frame rail causing noise as the vehicle is driven. "Adjusting" the rear tab on the tapping plate cage so it no longer is touching the frame should eliminate this noise.

Putin tones down rhetoric on Ukraine
YALTA, Crimea (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin traveled to a much-hyped meeting in Crimea amid expectations of more saber-rattling over Ukraine, but he instead struck a conciliatory note and called for peace in a speech Thursday that received surprisingly brief coverage on Russian television.
Putin's cautious statements and the terse reports in state media could signal a Kremlin desire to de-escalate the worst crisis in Russia-West relations since the Cold War. Putin's remarks contrasted with hawkish speeches by senior lawmakers in a carefully choreographed performance apparently intended to contain the nationalist fervor that has become a problem for the Kremlin.
Putin's show came as a large Russian aid convoy pulled close to the Ukrainian border amid tense arguments over its route and border clearance. Ukraine has threatened to use all means to block it if it's not duly inspected by Ukrainian border and customs officers and the Red Cross, but Russia sent it toward a rebel-controlled checkpoint instead in a clear show of defiance.
During a meeting with hundreds of lawmakers, Putin spoke with a restraint that contrasted sharply with lawmakers' bellicose speeches.
Referring to a suggestion by firebrand nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky that the Kremlin should take as an example the czar's decision to enter World War I and test new Russian weapons on Ukrainian forces, Putin said that "Russia should learn from mistakes."
Contrary to the long-established pattern of broadcasting key Putin's speeches live and covering them prominently in every news program throughout the day, Russian state television stations had no live feed from Yalta and buried the event deep in their programs, only showing Putin with a voiceover.
Other television crews in Crimea were not allowed into the room to film it, even though the meeting had been advertised as a major political event.
There was no explanation for the unprecedented brevity of the media coverage, but it could reflect Kremlin efforts to tone down rhetoric and soothe passions over Ukraine.
Russian state media have for weeks clamored over a "fascist junta" in Kiev and purported atrocities committed by Ukrainian troops in their campaign against pro-Russian rebels in the east, whipping up rage among ordinary Russians. In a seeming response to the public's indignation, Russian lawmakers who met Putin at a giant conference hall in the resort town of Yalta called for blood.
Sergei Mironov, leader of the Just Russia party, called for Russia to assume "a tougher stance" against Kiev, arguing that "the lack of a vocal position of our country prevents us from fully protecting the people and stopping the bloodshed."
But Putin called for a quick end to the conflict: "The country has plunged into a bloody chaos, a fratricidal conflict, a humanitarian catastrophe has hit southeastern Ukraine. We will do all we can to stop this conflict as soon as possible and end bloodshed in Ukraine."
Putin has resisted nationalist calls for sending the Russian army into Ukraine, apparently realizing that it would trigger devastating Western sanctions that could send the Russian economy into a nosedive and quickly erode his power.

Local women, minority and small business owners are learning of an Ohio Business Expo on Nov. 21 at the Rhodes Center at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus. To support the effort to expand access to state contracts for minority, women-owned and small businesses, the State of Ohio is hosting the 2013 Expo on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"The expo will be a great networking opportunity for business owners," David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency, said. "There are countless state contracts out there, and minority, women-owned and small businesses need to be made aware of the possibilities."
During fiscal year 2013, the state spent more than $225 million with firms certified through the Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) program and more than $156 million with firms certified through the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program. The MBE program is the state's minority business set-aside program. EDGE is a business and economic development program for economically and socially disadvantaged businesses.
Goodman said the expo also will include five free workshops. Topics include the Ohio Capital Access Program and the Check Ohio First program, both of which are administered by the Ohio Development Services Agency. In addition, attendees can learn how to navigate the state procurement website and obtain advice from mentors. The day also will include a panel discussion about how small businesses can partner with large businesses.
"This free expo will allow Ohio business owners to meet one-on-one with procurement professionals from state agencies to discuss how to work together to provide the goods and services the state requires," Robert Blair, director of the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, which is sponsoring the expo in partnership with the Ohio Development Services Agency, said.
Admission is free. Parking is $5, and registration for the expo is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Anyone wanting to register or learn more about the expo or the state's MBE and EDGE programs, can visit the Ohio Department of Administrative Services' website at das.ohio.gov/OBERSVP or call 614-466-8380.

Hot answers tagged emacs
By now Cassou's PPA offers not only an emacs-snapshot but also an emacs24 package which provides the current stable version of Emacs 24. ppa:cassou/emacs (Click here for instructions on using PPAs.)
I love Vim. It's so powerful and effective and perfect in every way. However, most of the time I just use gedit, because I'm not as powerful and effective as Vim.
That would be emacs22-nox I believe. Description: The GNU Emacs editor (without X support) So, just as before but with that package: sudo apt-get install emacs22-nox For cases like this, where you wonder what's in what package, try this : apt-cache search ^emacs then apt-cache show <whateverpackage>
The command-line emacs is installed along with the GUI. To run it, use the -nw option. An explanation from man emacs: -nw, --no-window-system Tell Emacs not to use its special interface to X. If you use this switch when invoking Emacs from an xterm(1) window, display is done in that window. So run the following ...
Nano is the easiest to use and learn. A lot of people will swear by Vim and Emacs but Nano is a very good text editor. Nano is good for editing a config file but if you are going to program you'll be better off using Vim or Emacs. Nano supports highlighting. But this is very subjective. Everyone is going to have their favorite editors for some reason. Find ...
The temporary solution You can press C-x C-+ and C-x C-- to increase or decrease the buffer text size. The permanent solution Put the following in your .emacs-file: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 100) The value is in 1/10pt, so 100 will give you 10pt, etc. Source: How to set the font size in emacs?
Consider using Damien Cassou's PPA: To add this PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cassou/emacs sudo apt-get update For emacs-snapshot: sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-el emacs-snapshot-gtk emacs-snapshot Or, for emacs24 (i.e. 24.3, stable): sudo apt-get install emacs24 emacs24-el emacs24-common-non-dfsg Update As mentioned in Damien Cassou's ...
I had this same issue and it looks like it's a problem with ibus. From the commandline run: ibus-setup Under General::Next Input Method you should see <Control>space. Click on the three dots and change it to something else. Hit Apply and close out. ctrl-space should work in Emacs now.
The short answer is that you almost certainly want emacs23: it's the full version of Emacs 23 with graphical support. emacs23-nox is the same, but without any graphical support. If you're installing Emacs onto a server or other environment that lacks an X window system, you should fetch this version instead. (Note that emacs23 works just fine on the ...
emacs without suffix is the GTK+ version of Emacs emacs-nox with the -nox suffix is the emacs version without the X server support. emacs-lucid with the -lucid suffix includes the Emacs with a Lucid user interface. Now the question is "What is the Lucid interface?" Certainly the package description isn't helpful in this case. Fortunately I found a bug ...
First off, you should download the Emacs 24.4 source tarball: cd ~ mkdir emacs-src && cd emacs-src wget http://mirror.team-cymru.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-24.4.tar.gz tar xvf emacs-24.4.tar.gz Now, you want to compile the Emacs binary. sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get build-dep emacs24 cd emacs-24.4 ./configure make sudo make install ...
Is this an insane request? No! :-) You can install the Firemacs addon to get emacs keybindings in Firefox: There's also a rather technical article on MozillaZine on how to enable Emacs-style key bindings for Firefox via GTK. Both work very well, but I recommend the extension since it's so easy to install.
The solution is to create an emacsclient.desktop file including a directive to it the class of the window using the StartupWMClass settings. Without it, Unity can't tell that that window came from Emacsclient. This will create one based on the contents of the Emacs one (/usr/share/applications/emacs23.desktop): mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications cat ...

Another good one to use is Geany, found in the Ubuntu package manager or at geany.org . Has really good features and the built-in terminal window is really nice. I use it for most programming projects. I use VIM alot too, mostly when ssh'd into a server. The built-in Gedit is useful for quick edits and config files.
emacs-snapshot is a development version of Emacs. It has more goodies but likely also more bugs, so use it at your own risk. The others are released versions; the only reason I can think not to install the latest one is if you're very short on disk space. The emacs package depends on emacs23 (you can see the dependencies in any package administration tool). ...
Simple answer is ... Nano is a simple text editor. Emacs is a full fledged text editor with features for programming. This one is usually easier to learn but is still confusing. This is because advanced features are key combinations like crtl + e (goto end of line). Vim is like Emacs only it uses a much different form of input. Vim is modal meaning that ...
There is a cron job that executes emacs weekly for updating AUCTeX auto-loads. You can expect that behaviour if you installed auctex. To confirm, check out if the file /etc/cron.weekly/auctex is pressent.
If you're using gtk3 the settings are in the libgtk-3-common package in /usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-3.0/gtk-keys.css and you can enable them with: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme "Emacs" And to switch back: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme "Default" If you're using gtk2 the settings are in the ...
To run emacs in the Terminal without a GUI (i.e., without it creating a graphical window for itself), use: emacs -nw The -nw flag stands for "no window."
So thanks to the kind people at #emacs, I've found out. It's color-theme-tango. Check out the code here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/color-theme-tango.el
emacs has inbuilt support for git. If you are using old version of emacs (say 22.1) you might want to install 'magit' plugin. I like using magit in any version since it is way better than the generic inbuilt. here are few key bindings generate (got by pressing C-x v C-h in a git repo dir) Global Bindings Starting With C-x v: key binding ...

If you're running it in default mode, it's in the menu: Options > Show/Hide > Line Numbers. Then Options > Save Options to save it for future sessions. If you're running it in a terminal (emacs -nw), then it's M-x line-number-mode. M- is usually the Windows key, but may be Alt, or you can press Esc followed by x.

~/.bashrc is usually read for secondary interactive shells after you log in. If you want to initialise your parameters on login the use ~/.profile instead. To apply you parameters system-wide use /etc/profile. It's the first file read by bash.To make things clearer I think I'd explain a bit more.

I had the same error yesterday. I tried installing every emacs package in the repository, and when that didn't work, it occurred to me that maybe conflicts were the problem.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Congratulations to Hawaii, where same-sex marriages commenced shortly after midnight on December 2, 2013, when the state's marriage equality law took effect.
As Oskar Garcia reports for the Associated Press, six couples were the first to exchange vows at a Waikiki resort in front of a few hundred guests. Later in the evening dozens of others wed there on the 30th floor of the Sheraton Waikiki.
Elsewhere in Honolulu, an openly gay Unitarian minister wed his partner of 15 years in a ceremony attended by clergy who pushed for the new marriage law and Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who called last month's special legislative session that passed the bill.
Hawaii helped begin the national gay marriage discussion more than two decades ago when a same-sex couple was denied a marriage license, leading to a court fight that eventually helped prompt Congress to pass the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. Part of that law, which stipulated that marriage was between a man and woman, was struck down earlier this year by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Honolulu Pride Chairman Michael Golojuch Jr., said at the Sheraton "We started this battle [for marriage equality] 23 years ago and we get to finish it tonight."
Inasmuch as tourism is the lifeblood of Hawaii, it is not coincidental that the new law allows couples to register for a license and be married the same day, a process that is especially convenient for tourists. Couples can also sign up for a license online then be verified by any license agent throughout the state.
Below is a video from the Daily Mail reporting on the Hawaii nuptials.
