PRO TIPS FROM OUR PRIOR #AORoadtrip TO MEMPHIS:
* Eat the ribs pretty much anywhere in Memphis. Rendezvous was our favorite in 2013 for the Ole Miss trip. Also, don't leave town without stopping by the ORIGINAL Gus' Fried Chicken, which has been featured on numerous TV shows. There will likely be a wait, but it's worth it.
* Enjoy Beale St. - Think, Bourbon Street, but cleaner, and when Aggies Maroon Out Beale Street, it's one of the best parties on the road in the SEC!
* Take the tour at Sun Studio where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and countless other musicians recorded some of the greatest music in American history. You can even take your photo with one of the microphones that was used by Elvis, and see the hole in the floor left by his upright bass player.
* Visit the National Civil Rights Museum where Martin Luther King was assassinated. It's a very touching tribute to one of the most renowned civil rights leaders in American history.
Follow Aggieland Outfitters & the #AORoadtrip online for any last minute updates as well!

It's an exciting time for Chad Michael Murray and his new wife Sarah Roemer as they just announced they have a baby on the way.
The "One Tree Hill" hunk and his "Chosen" lady, who secretly got married, are now in the preparation phase for becoming first-time parents.
Though she usually takes on more of a comedic role, Kat Dennings shows her impressive range in the new preview trailer for "To Write Love on Her Arms." The "2 Broke Girls" star joins Rupert Friend, Corbin Bleu and Chad Michael Murray in the project, a true story from director Nathan Frankowski.
Getting back to his television roots, Chad Michael Murray just scored a major gig on the small screen.
Earlier this week, Marvel announced that the "One Tree Hill" star scored the role of Strategic Scientific Reserve Agent Jack Thompson in its new series "Agent Carter."
More than moved on from the end of his previous engagement, "The Haunting in Connecticut II" stud Chad Michael Murray is now dating Australian actress Nicky Whelan.
The 32-year-old posted a passionate black-and-white snapshot on Twitter, showing him and his new lady love in lip lock mode on Wednesday (October 30).
He put a ring on it seven years ago, but Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton never seemed to make it down the aisle.
Now, on Friday (September 20), news broke that the former "One Tree Hill" costars have called it quits on their longtime romance.
Fully immersing themselves in Tuesday's political festivities, the stars took to the polling booths and Twitter to sound off on the Presidential election.
In a new clip from the always-entertaining people at Funny or Die, Chad Michael Murray and Rachael Leigh Cook are featured engaging in a smooching spree that takes the term liplock to a whole new level.
Bringing their new work to Tinseltown, the stars of "Lawless" hit the red carpet at ArcLight Cinemas on Wednesday night (August 22) for their film's big west coast premiere.

Council chief executive Dr Sue Bidrose this afternoon issued
a media statement confirming the resignation of the council's
financial controller, Maree Clarke, had been accepted "with
Mrs Clarke's decision to resign meant she followed in the
footsteps of two other senior managers, Tony Avery and Kevin
Thompson, who have already resigned after details of the
council's alleged $1.5 million vehicle fraud were revealed.
Dr Bidrose said Mrs Clarke was "well regarded" by her
colleagues, and the Deloitte report made it clear she was not
aware of the alleged fraud "in any way".
However, responsibility for the council's financial reporting
and controls rested with Mrs Clarke, as financial controller,
Dr Bidrose said.
"Maree has told me that she believes the ongoing process of
improvement of the Council's systems will benefit from fresh
leadership and I have accepted her resignation on that
Dr Bidrose's statement also confirmed Mrs Clarke was among 25
past and present council staff to have bought a Citifleet
That was "normal practice" within the council at the time,
and the money she paid for it made it to the council's
account, Dr Bidrose confirmed.
Mrs Clarke's 11-year career at the council began in 2003 and
saw her promoted to financial controller in 2008.
Dr Bidrose said Mrs Clarke had "led by example" within the
council's finance team, working to achieve "the best outcomes
for the council and the city".
She had agreed to continue in her role during a transition
and recruitment period, but was expected to finish prior to

Those Who Hunt Elves DVD Complete Collection (Hyb) (Thinpak)
Ogie Doggie - Apr 15 2006 email@example.com
Rating: Pretty good!
Wacky like Slayers and Louie the Ruin Soldier
This is a over the top wacky kind of series like Slayers & Louie the Ruin Soldier (if you haven't seen these yet you are really missing something).
What I enjoy so much is that the English dubbed voices are even more over the top than the Japanese voice actors (just like in Slayers).
The only thing I need to warn you about is that the second eposide should have been the first eposide. You will be a little lost until the second eposide because that is when they explain how they got into this situation.
Needless to say this very funny/crazy stuff worth seeing.

So long, Hotmail. It was nice to know you.
Microsoft unveiled a major update to its consumer mail platform today, with a new look, a slew of new features, and a new name that is surprisingly familiar.
The "modern email" service has been in super stealth mode for several months under the codename NewMail. With its formal launch as an open-to-the-public preview, the service gets a new name: Outlook.com. I've been using the NewMail beta for a week now and can share some first impressions here.
Outlook, of course, is the serious, business-focused mail client included with Office. Microsoft used the brand with Outlook Express, its lightweight email client in Windows XP, but dumped the name with the launch of Windows Vista in 2006.
Restoring the Outlook name to Microsoft's consumer email service accomplishes two goals. First, it dumps the Hotmail brand, which is tarnished beyond redemption, especially among technically sophisticated users who have embraced Google's Gmail as the default standard for webmail. More importantly, it replaces the Hotmail domain with a fresh top-level domain that's serious enough for business use.
(If you have an existing Hotmail.com or Live.com address, you can continue to use it with the new Outlook interface. But new addresses in the Outlook.com domain are up for grabs. if you have a common name, I recommend that you get yourself over to Outlook.com now to claim your preferred email address while it's still available.)
The Outlook.com preview will run alongside Hotmail for now, but when the preview ends, this will be the replacement for all Hotmail and Live Mail users.
With Outlook.com, Microsoft is taking dead aim at Gmail, positioning Google's flagship service as the old and tired player that is ready for retirement. Gmail, they point out, is eight years old, and its interface and feature set aren't exactly modern. It doesn't play well with any social media except its own, it handles attachments in a stodgy and traditional way, and it's not particularly elegant when it comes to managing the deluge of email we all have to deal with every day.
So what's new about NewMail—sorry, Outlook.com? And why would anyone consider switching from Gmail?
The most obvious change in the web interface, of course, is the overall design, which gets the full Metro treatment.
That three-pane layout follows the familiar Outlook standard, but the typography is definitely new. It's clean and crisp with no wasted ornamentation or clutter. It should come as no surprise that the default organization is optimized for use on touch-enabled devices.
A pane on the right shows different content, depending on the context. If you're communicating with a friend of colleague who's in your address book or connected via a social-media service, you'll see updates about that person on the right side, with the option to chat with them (via Messenger or Facebook chat) in that pane. In a demo, Microsoft showed off Skype integration and said it will be coming later in the preview.
If you've selected no message, the right pane might show ads, which appear in Metro style boxes with text--an image preview appears if you hover over the ad. As part of its positioning against Google, Microsoft has taken pains to note that your messages aren't scanned to provide context-sensitive ads, as they are with Gmail.
This is a pure HTML interface, which means the functionality is consistent across different browsers and on alternative platforms. I tested NewMail on a Mac using Safari and Chrome and in both Firefox and Chrome on several Windows PCs. Everything worked as expected. I also tested the web-based interface in mobile Safari on an iPad, where it also displayed perfectly (after switching from the default mobile layout).
On mobile devices, you'll be able to use native apps. An app for iOS devices should be available immediately. Microsoft promises an Android app "soon" that will enable Exchange ActiveSync support for older Android versions.
A few pieces of the web-based UI are worth calling out separately. You'll find screenshots and details on the next page.

Bryant police said they were called to Fred's Pharmacy on Hwy 5 around 11:30. According to a report, Cedric Cobbs, 32, and Gary Hunt, 59, were trying to pass a fake prescription for 180 Roxicodones, a pain medication. Officers say the two men initially tried to make run for it, but were pulled over a short time later.
Cobbs was arrested on charges of conspiracy to obtain drugs by fraud, fleeing and driving on a suspended driver's license. Hunt was arrested on a charge of 2nd degree forgery plus outstanding warrants out of Sherwood and a felony parole warrant.
Cobbs played for Arkansas from 1999-2003. He was drafted by the New England Patriots and later played for the Denver Broncos.

Britons moving to the Mediterranean end up less happy than if they had stayed at home, according to research based on the European Social Survey.
ESRC-funded research shows that the majority of people immigrating from Romania and Bulgaria have been highly educated, and have chosen to work rather than claim benefits.
London is the destination of choice for the ambitious French, according to research carried out by ESRC-funded researchers. According to the French consulate, up to 400,000 French expats live here.
Charitable causes in the UK benefit from strong traditions of giving among such groups, which result in generosity to UK charities and support for needs in countries of origin, according to research from the Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy.
The new Instruments for Research into Second Language Learning (IRIS) database allows any language researcher to upload and download materials free of charge.
Muslim ethnic minority communities have been integrating into British and German cities for some time, according to research presented at the NORFACE Migration Conference at University College London this week.
A comparison of Bangladeshi women living in Cardiff and in Bangladesh shows poorer health among those living in Cardiff, with considerably more obesity. A less active lifestyle and a more unhealthy diet are the main reasons.
New ESRC- funded research shows that if you live in an isolated rural area you are likely to concentrate better than if you live in a city.
A recent ESRC study found that many working-class ethnic minority families are inspiring their children to be high educational achievers – even if the parents have had very little education themselves.

Burke is from Columbus, Ohio, and grew up an Ohio State football fan while rooting for Duke basketball. The sophomore still knew of the Wolverines' history and isn't surprised to be back in the Final Four again so quickly after arriving in Ann Arbor.
"I said it in the summer and the coaches kind of got on me saying we can be national championship contenders. But that was coming from my heart," said Burke, surrounded by the sons of three former NBA players. "I knew once we put the talent with the toughness and execution, then I knew this team could be special. We're coming together at the right time."
Despite being the only team to make regional finals each of the last three seasons, the Gators haven't been to the Final Four since winning consecutive national titles in 2006 and 2007 for coach Billy Donovan.
Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy, the four-year seniors who came in not long after those titles, will leave without one of their own. They were part of the only Gators class to win consecutive outright SEC regular-season championships, but came up short in the biggest games.
Florida is the first team to make it to three consecutive regional finals without winning at least one of them, according to STATS LLC. Wyoming lost in the round of eight from 1947-49, but that stretch ended two years before the NCAA tournament expanded to more than eight teams.
"I feel more upset for Boynton, (Mike) Rosario and Murphy, who don't get a chance and have come so close," Donovan said. "This one, we didn't play well enough or deserve to win."
Boynton and Will Yeguete had 13 points apiece for the Gators.
The Gators were able to recover from an early deficit against Florida Gulf Coast for a 62-50 win Friday night on the raised stage at Cowboys Stadium.
It was another story facing Big Blue.
After McGary started the scoring with a layup, Stauskas made a behind-the-back pass to McGary for a slam before making his first 3-pointer less than a half-minute after that.
Burke passed to McGary for a layup before driving for one of his own. McGary's jumper made it 13-0 only 3:05 into the game.
Stauskas, who was 2 of 12 from 3-point range the first three games of this NCAA tourney, was on target against the Gators.
The 6-foot-6 guard from Canada put the Wolverines up by 24 points with 4:08 left in the first half after two consecutive 3s from the left corner in a span of 27 seconds.
Like he did on all of his makes, Stauskas came back down the court with a smile on his face, sharing the moment with the Wolverines fans who made the trip to North Texas.
"I can't even explain the feeling. I was having so much fun," Stauskas said. "I've been working and dreaming my whole life about something like this. To finally have it, I have a smile on my face and I'm enjoying the moment."

link farming(1) The process of exchanging reciprocal links with Web sites in order to increase search engine optimization. The idea behind link farming is to increase the number of sites that link to yours because search engines such as Google rank sites according to, among other things, the quality and quantity of sites that link to yours. In theory, the more sites that link to yours, the higher your ranking in the search engine results will be because the more links indicate a higher level of popularity among users of the Internet. However, search engines such as Google consider link farming as a form of spam and have been implementing procedures to banish sites that participate in link farming, so the term link farming has garnered negative connotations across the Internet.
Also see How Web Search Engines Work in the Did You Know . . . ? section of Webopedia.
There are many service providers who promise to help you boost your link popularity by automatically entering you into link exchange programs they operate, often linking your page with Web sites that have nothing to do with your content. But users should be aware of the repercussions of this action as the major search engines penalize sites that participate in link farming, thereby reversing their intended effect. A link farm is a Web page that is nothing more than a page of links to other sites.

Not that I know of! I just figured it´s something anyone can do and decided to try it myself. Although it would be a nice feature to have instead of doing it manually, which takes a bit of time.
Sometimes, it is better to associate a specific image next to the thread instead of your avatar.
For example, Christmas, New Year´s, Birthdays, Notices and many other threads will look nicer and easier to identify.

Why should religious get up in the morning?
During the last few weeks, my friend's words have stayed with me while I've read several books that examine the future of Roman Catholic religious life: Out of Chaos: Refounding Religious Congregations, by Gerald A Arbuckle (Paulist Press, 1988); Living the Vision: Religious Vows in an Age of Change, by Barbara Mand (Crossroad, 1990); Reweaving Religious Life: Beyond the Liberal Model, by Mary Jo Leddy (Twenty-third Publications, 1991); Religious Life, A Prophetic Vision: Hope and Promise for Tomorrow, by Diarmuid O'Murchu (Ave Maria Press, 1991); and Creating A Future for Religious Life: A Sociological Perspective, by Patricia Wittherg (Paulist Press, 1991).
Each book discusses the critical identity, existence and meaning questions that face all religious communities today, and each writer offers a unique analysis of the future of religious life from a different perspective: Arbuckle from cultural anthropology, Fiand from philosophical theology, Leddy from cultural history and sociology, O'Murchu from social psychology, and Wittberg from sociological group theory.
I found many insights that resonated with my early experiences as a member of a large international women's congregation, which I entered from high school in 1963. In addition, the authors spoke clearly about my experience of the critical transformations that have occurred in religious life in the last three decades since Vatican II. What failed to satisfy me in most of the books I read, however, were the writers' reflections on the future reality of religious life.
No one writer seemed to resonate fully with important new experiences in my life. In the fall of 1983, I began teaching in England in a senior girls'day and boarding school founded by our congregation during World War II.
Before England, all my ministry experience was as an elementary and highschool teacher in Roman Catholic schools in Ontario, Canada. All my students had been baptized in the Roman Catholic tradition, and all students had some shared faith experience of this tradition from their homes, school and/or parish life. This was true, too, of the teachers with whom I worked.
My experience in England was dramatically different. Only a few colleagues were Roman Catholic, and I had entire classes of students who had never been baptized into any Christian tradition. Students originated from around the globe. There were representatives of most of the world's great religious traditions; however, the great majority had no community or shared faith experiences outside of this particular school context.
As the teacher of a designated Roman Catholic curriculum, I soon learned that I did not have a common religious language and heritage with those around me. Ministry experiences since my return to Canada in 1986 continue to awaken in me an appreciation of cultural and religious diversity. The world around me is not the white, Western, Roman Catholic or Christian context I experienced for many years.
At the same time, I have gained new respect for the uniqueness and universality of religious experience, which seems to have a broader horizon than the perspective of any one culture or religious tradition.
As I read each of the books considered in this article, I looked to find a basic worldview that situated the present and future of religious life in the context of the multicultural and multifaith reality of our globe. I read to find how the traditional Christian understanding of call and vocation relates to the current global quest for spiritual vision and values.
I read to find how my cross-cultural ministry experience related to many of the contemporary theological questions about the nature of revelation, the uniqueness of Jesus, and religious pluralism, syncretism and relativism.
Wittberg, Leddy and Arbuckle seem to address all issues from a North American, Roman Catholic perspective and context. Only Fiand and O'Murchu situate their reflections on the future of religious life within a critique of the limitations of an isolated Western/Christian worldview.
O'Murchu boldly declares that the tendency to study Christianity in exclusive context is the fruit of a restrictive consciousness. My cross-cultural ministry experience taught me that my Roman Catholic tradition and heritage are important to me. It also convinced me that I must find new ways to live and to share this faith tradition with others. The future of religious life seems deeply connected to how it will understand itself in a world that seeks a radical revising of the restrictions of an isolated Western/Christian worldview.
Any phoenix that rises from the current demise of the progress and prosperity of 19th- and early 20th-century religious congregational life will have to situate itself outside the dual paradigm of spiritual perfection and privilege that fostered not only the expansion of religious life, but also contributed to the white/Western/Christian/Colonial domination and exploitation of the entire globe.
If Roman Catholic congregational religious life is to have a viable future, it seems necessary to envision that possibility by examining honestly the present pluralism, ambiguity, failings and limitations not only of religious life, but of Christianity itself.
As I read Arbuckle, Fiand, Leddy, O'Murchu and Wittberg, I looked for an understanding of the future of religious life that reflected my growing awareness that life itself is relational, mutually interdependent and dynamically interconnected.
I read to find a sense of the genesis of the Christian story within the primary source of revelation - the universe story, I read to find an understanding of religious life that is grounded in a biocentric vision of the human and the natural world as a single, sacred community. I read to find how the Christian mysteries of call, vocation, ministry, community and vowed life are understood in a worldview that embraces the cosmic integrity and the time-developmental processes of the universe.
Of the five authors I read, only Arbuckle and Wittherg did not directly acknowledge in some way that the present chaos and decline of religious communities is deeply connected to a global transition of human consciousness from a mechanistic paradigm of Newtonian science and Cartesian philosophy to a new bolistic paradigm of interbeing and interdependence.
Only O'Murchu, however, explores in depth the implications of recent discoveries in science and religion on the future of religious life. Those who write about the future of religious life, I believe, must be attentive to the challenges that the recent discoveries in science and religion present not only to the future of traditional Roman Catholic religious life, but also to the continued existence of the world's great religious traditions.
Demographic and life-style changes in religious life must be examined as part of the larger dynamic of change wrought on the entire global community by the current ecological imperative to transform every facet of human relating, working, living, valuing, learning and exchanging.
Similarly, concerns about individualism, plurality and common vision in religious life cannot be resolved from within restrictive androcentric and anthropocentric visions of reality. From the perspective of the universe story, the future of religious life is intimately related to the ecological viability of human life itself. Mission statements, vitality curves and life-cycle studies of religious life take on new meaning in the larger realities of the evolution of the entire universe.
In his-book, The Dream of the Earth (Sierra Club Books, 1989), Thomas Berry identifies three essential processes of the universe: differentiation, which is the primary expression of the universe as variety and multiple modes of expression; subjectivity, which gives the interior identity and formation, the inner spontaneity, the indwelling self of every being its immediacy with ultimate mystery; and communion, wherein each element or dimension of creation is integrally related to one another in terms of mutual presence, and wherein each being finds its fulfillment in beings outside itself.
These three principles suggest that a tremendous resource for revising and refounding religious life may be the universe itself as the most basic expression of community.
Perhaps the concerns many religious have about diverse understandings and pluralistic expressions of ministry, community life, spirituality, vows, membership, government, prayer and leadership can find new inspiration and vision from a deeper understanding of the subjectivity, differentiation and communion inherent in all reality.
Aside from the work of O'Murchu, all the literature I have encountered on the future of religious life seems to dwell on renewal, refounding and restructuring from within a traditional modem worldview. The life experiences, concerns and spirituality of many members of religious congregations no longer fit into the sustained existence of this worldview.
Those who write about the future of religious life need to examine paradigmatic and experiential differences far more radical than differences grounded in age, ministry or personal piety.
Postmodern consciousness asks that religious life re-envision itself within a new social and cultural paradigm that is challenging traditional understandings of anthropology, economics, politics, ethics, education, religion and spirituality.
The strongest influence in my reading of Arbuckle, Fiand, Leddy, O'Murchu and Wittberg is my experience of being In 1965, I vowed publicly to live my life for Christ in the service of the church. In 1993, this same promise is grounded in an entirely new feminist consciousness and spirituality.
The church I knew in 1963 is not the same church I know in 1993. The public image of the Roman Catholic Church in 1963 was positive, one that spoke to the whole world of aggiornamento. A high-school teacher with whom I work described this same church as "sexist, rigid, male-dominated, paternalistic and irrelevant."
Feminist consciousness has brought new relevance and meaning to my life. For me, feminist consciousness is a liberative worldview that seeks a radical, global transformation of the dualistic, androcentric, anthropocentric and patriarchal structures, attitudes, values and injustices of our entire social, political, cultural and religious heritage.
My own feminist consciousness is rooted in an understanding of the gospel egalitarian discipleship of Jesus, and it seeks the liberation, respect, well-being and nurture of all persons and all of creation.
Feminist consciousness as entered into and transformed every fiber of my life. It has touched most radically my experience of myself as a woman, my experience of God, how I pray, what directs my ministry, with whom I work and dream, and how I envision the future of religious life.
When I read Arbuckle and others, I looked for a critical, liberative critique of any patriarchal categories of thought that condition our living of religious life now and in the future. I looked for a rejection of any patriarchal attitudes that justify androcentric, anthropocentric, dualistic and hierarchical patterns of relationship that are the root causes of sexism and all other forms of hierarchical exploitation.
I searched for basic expressions of a critical feminist consciousness: inclusive language; sources that included the perspectives and research of women and men; and sensitivity to women's struggles with the inherent sexism in the scripture, theology, liturgy, ministry and leadership in the church.
Arbuckle appears to need most growth in sensitivity to the experience and concerns of women. His entire book seems lacking in any feminist consciousness, in its uncritical use of sexist language, scripture, cultural anthropology and on congregational entrepreneurs as prophetic refounders fail to reflect key discoveries about patriarchy, power and leadership.
Barbara Fiand's book begins and ends with a deep concern for the future of religious life to re-envision and find itself free of a dualistic, hierarchical and patriarchal view of the sacred. Although Fiand writes passionately about the future of religious life within a holistic paradigm, radical feminists may find that Fiand does not speak as readily to their concerns when she discusses the vows, authority, the church and the Eucharist.
Mary Jo Leddy invites us to see the destructive hold liberal political and economic theory has not only on North America but on religious life. While many of Leddy's concerns for a radical living of religious life are the same as critical feminists', Leddy's book lacks an explicit and extensive exposition of the relationship of patriarchy to her liberal and radical models of religious life, especially in her discussions of individualism, ministry, community, church, scripture and prayer.
Patricia Wittberg writes inclusively for both women and men. Her sources draw on the expertise of both women and men. One wonders, however, whether patriarchy has an uncritical hold on her sociological methodology, research and reporting such that her entire work needs considerable feminist revising. Her study offers an effective analysis of the past, but it speaks with less inspiration about the future of religious life.
Although O'Murchu is not explicitly attentive to a feminist consciousness, his cosmic, multifaith, transcultural vision of the future holds room for what is important to feminists. Much of his vision is inherently feminist despite his one paragraph reference to feminism, reporting of women's history and experience in religious life.
Anyone who evinces concern for the future of religious life, I believe, can not re-envision that future within a dualistic, hierarchical and patriarchal view of reality. The future of religious life, therefore, will be deeply dependent upon the resolution of its tensions with any ecclesiastical structures which foster sexism and hierarchical dualism.
Those who write about the future of religious life must be attentive to the deep concerns that women and men have about their postmodern experiences of the sacred and what it means to be human The future of religious life is dependent upon its foundation in the egalitarian gospel vision and life of Jesus Christ, and upon its freedom from medieval monarchical patterns of relationship that permeate its understanding of the vows, community life, leadership, membership, prayer and spirituality.
While no one author I read fully inspired me with her or his vision of the future of religious life, I saw common threads in Leddy's search for a radical model Fiand's hopes for a holistic paradigm, Wittherg's exposition of intentional community, Arbuckle's convictions about refoundation personalities, and in O'Murchu's belief in liminal, prophetic values and experience.
Each author acknowledges there are tensions and unresolved questions that face those who seek a viable future for religious communal life. Whatever the shape of its future, I believe religious life will be rooted in tbe deepest dimensions of the mysteries of call, response and communion that have been archetypically known in every religious tradition throughout history.
In the Roman Catholic tradition, religious life will continue to exist as a profound expression of shared faith in the gospel life and works of Jesus Christ.
Roman Catholic religious life has, in its essence, been a communal faith expression of shared meaning. The challenge of our times is to heal any divisions and dichotomies that destroy shared faith and prevent the discovery of new and creative expressions of religious life.

Source code review starts Thursday
MANILA, Philippines—The review of the "source code" for the 2013 midterm elections will begin Thursday, a top official of Smartmatic International said Wednesday.
Cesar Flores, president of Smartmatic Asia, said the review of the source code, or the readable computer program, that would be used by the 78,000 precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines would begin Thursday.
"The review will start (Thursday) but it will finish after the elections," Flores said in an interview.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) issued an advisory for a 9 a.m. press briefing Thursday with Comelec chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. who reportedly would make a "big announcement."—Philip C. Tubeza

Building a Next-Generation Residential Gateway
Before embedded Linux became the de facto standard for networking devices, building a residential gateway (RG) or similar appliance used to be an expensive and nontrivial task. Real-time operating systems (RTOSes) used on these kinds of devices, such as VxWorks or pSOS, are relatively expensive and lack many features needed for an RG, which has to be purchased separately. VxWorks 5.5, for example, comes with a TCP/IP stack that has performance problems and does not even implement an L2 bridge, not to mention a firewall. This situation created a business opportunity for a number of companies, such as Ashley Laurent and Jungo, who sell RG software stacks for various OSes. The advent of embedded Linux distributions, such as uClinux, reduced the process of building an RG to choosing the right hardware, writing the drivers for peripherals and adding some kind of Web-based configuration utility. Embedded Linux reduced the development and cost of RG devices not only by providing many important features that either were missing or expensive in RTOSes, but also by easing the integration and debugging of drivers and applications, thanks to the clear POSIX driver model and kernel/user-mode separation.
However, Linux dominance in the embedded networking market is now challenged by new technologies. In the past, RG devices with ADSL, DOCSIS and 802.11 peripherals rarely were required to pass throughput beyond 10Mbps. New technologies, such as 802.11n and PON, make 100Mbps throughput a reality, challenging embedded engineers with the task of creating RGs capable of handling much higher traffic on the same or at least similarly priced hardware.
Before designing your own residential gateway, it may be worth taking a closer look at one of these devices.
If you decide to take a look inside your 802.11 access point or ADSL gateway, which probably will void your warranty, you will find an embedded board with a CPU (probably some MIPS variant), Ethernet switch, ADSL/DOCSIS and 802.11 chips, as illustrated in Figure 1.
Some (or even all) of the above can be integrated into one piece of silicon to form a System-on-Chip (SoC). On the other hand, you also may find the same stock mini-PCI (mPCI) 802.11 card connected to an embedded board as the one you will find in your laptop.
Chances are, your home gateway runs Linux. If you'd like to know for sure or maybe hack a bit on it, you have to solder the UART connector, which is relatively easy (most boards come with UART enabled, but without a connector). The software stack usually includes some version of Linux (2.4.x kernels are still pretty common in the embedded world), the usual user-space utilities and libraries, peripheral drivers and a configuration utility—either command-line interface (CLI), Web or both, as shown in Figure 2.
Now that you have a general picture of what makes a residential gateway, and assuming you have working hardware (more details on hardware later in this article), let's see what pieces of software you'll need. At the bare minimum, you need kernel sources, some variant of the libc library, basic user-mode utilities (at least a shell) and a cross-compiler toolchain to build them all. In short, you need an embedded Linux distribution. uClinux is a good choice, as it supports a wide range of CPUs (not necessarily CPUs without MMU, as the name might imply), comes with many useful user-mode utilities and has an easy-to-use kernel-style configuration system for all the packages. As always, the choice is not limited only to one distribution. There are a variety of free and commercial Linux distributions from which to choose.
Assuming your board (not just the CPU) is supported by uClinux, the process of building a working image boils down to downloading the distribution itself and the cross-compiler toolchain for your CPU and then simply following the build instructions. If your board is not supported by uClinux, chances are the board manufacturer will provide a board support package (BSP)—that is, adapt uClinux (or some other Linux version) to that hardware. If this is not the case, you have to write the BSP yourself, which is beyond the scope of this article.
The major components of the uClinux distribution are, of course, the kernel itself, the uClibc library and BusyBox. The uClinux kernel has support for MMU-less CPUs, but this feature is of minor importance nowadays. Because the cost of adding the MMU is so small, I expect that most, if not all, embedded CPUs used on an RG will have it. Nevertheless, uClinux is a great distribution, even if you don't exploit the MMU-less CPU support. The same goes for uClibc. It originally was created to support MMU-less systems, which, for instance, cannot have a fork(2) system call. But, even if you don't need this functionality, it is a great alternative for glibc on embedded systems, as glibc has much larger RAM requirements. BusyBox is a collection of standard UNIX utilities, optimized for embedded systems with low RAM. It comes with uClinux, and as with uClibc, you usually will prefer it over full-featured standard utilities, unless you have a system with enough RAM (typically above 16MB).
You need two important pieces of software that are not a part of uClinux. The first piece is a bootloader, which is software that usually resides in ROM (at least partially) and is responsible for loading the Linux image from Flash to RAM and performing some hardware initializations. Unfortunately, there is no standard bootloader for uClinux. In fact, there are no standards for bootloaders in the embedded world, and you cannot use PC bootloaders, such as GRUB or LILO. Your hardware manufacturer almost certainly will provide a bootloader, and I strongly suggest using it. If it does not support Linux, it usually is easier to adopt it than to port a different bootloader to your hardware. If you still choose to port the bootloader, Das U-Boot is a good choice, as are many others.
The second missing piece is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI), which most users come to expect from RGs. Most, if not all, currently available RGs have a Web interface written from scratch. However, it does not have to be like this anymore with the introduction of the X-Wrt Project, one of the components of the OpenWrt Project, which you almost certainly will want to look at if you are building an RG. OpenWrt is a Linux distribution for the Linksys WRT routers (and not only those).
Add to this a bit of init script writing, and you are done, except for the peripheral (802.11, ADSL and so on) drivers, which is a topic for a another article.

NEW DELHI: Children will now get a chance not only to read their favourite Ruskin Bond stories, but also to watch them. "Dehra Kids'', a series to be telecast on Doordarshan beginning this Sunday, will bring alive the stories of one of India's best-loved children's authors. SaaReeGaa Productions' "Dehra Kids'' will be telecast on DD-Bharati every Sunday at 8-30 p.m.
Humour, adventure and an element of the supernatural -- the hallmark of Bond's stories -- will make Dehra Kids a fun experience for children. The episodes are loosely based on some of Bond's best known stories like "Ranji's Wonderful Bat'', "The Black Cat'', "The Great Train Journey'', "When the Guavas are Ripe'', "Mukesh Starts A Zoo'', "Eyes of the Cat'' and the classic "Dust on the Mountain''.
The 10-part series directed by Ajay Shetty will remain faithful to the spirit of Bond stories but the episodes have been adapted to fit into the half-hour format. The stories have been adapted for television by Anasuya Vaidya.
The "Dehra Kids'' are a group of children living in a small hill town and has some of Bond's enduring fictional characters. The cricket-crazy Ranji, the know-all Koki, the animal lover Mukesh, the mischievous Teju, and Chashmu who observes everything around him make up the Dehra kids.
The characters will be brought to life by child artistes Nisa Shetty, Mohit Arora, Govind Marodia, Dhruv Shetty, Sarthak Ghonkrokta, Bhavya Mahajan, Nishant Gambhir and Yashna. And the surprise package will be Ruskin Bond himself who will make an appearance at the beginning and end of each episode. The stories are set in Manali and its surroundings.
The series will begin with "Billi Aur Broomstick'', the story of a struggling writer who buys an old broom that in turn unleashes a series of mysterious happenings.
Theatre personality Jalabala Vaidya will be appearing in a cameo in this episode.

11 March 2014 06:28 [Source: ICIS news]
By Ajoy K Das
KOLKATA (ICIS)--India has decided to impose an antidumping duty (ADD) of $146.09/tonne on phenol imports from the US, a government official said on Tuesday.
The country's Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) has recommended the levying of the ADD after completing investigations on dumping complaints filed by two local producers – Hindustan Organic Chemicals Ltd (HOCL) and S I Group India Ltd, the official from the Ministry of Commerce said.
India's Central Board of Customs and Excise (CBEC) is expected to issue a formal notification on the ADD implementation soon, the official said.
The DGAD probe completed on 5 March 2014 concluded that phenol imports from the US were "below their normal value and resulted in dumping and thereby caused material injury to domestic producers", the official said.
India's phenol imports from the US had steadily grown over the past three fiscal years – 46,571 tonnes in 2010-11; 50,258 tonnes in 2010-11; and 90,378 tonnes in 2012-13, according to data collated by DGAD. The country's fiscal year ends in March.
In 2012-13, the share of US phenol to India's total imports of the product stood at 56%, from 35% in 2011-12 and 39% in 2010-11.
In contrast, phenol sales of domestic producers showed a steady decline over the three-year period ending March 2013. Their sales totaled 63,712 tonnes in 2012-13; 67,361 tonnes in 2011-12; and 80,020 tonnes in 2010-11, with their market share shrinking to 28.7% at the end of the three-year period covered in the investigation, statistics from DGAD showed.
HOCL had sought protection from threats of cheap phenol imports, which, together with the company's shortage of funds to buy raw materials, had forced it to consider a permanent shutdown its phenol/acetone plant at Kerala in southern India.

Currently cleaning up my act, with a view to being that person I've so wanted to be for years:) I love laughter, and, surprisingly, still love life. I'm an urban hick at the moment, my real place is in the hills, up in the woods, sat outside the workshop with a glass of stout, my dog laid at my feet, and a guitar on my lap.
I've been privilaged to know so many exceptional people in my life, EP seems a natural place to meet up and share. I love my kids, grown up too fast, and I want to give the world as many good things as I can
I wish however, that the truth was easier won, and that love was easier come by, and easier to give

Avignon, France
My Rating
We really enjoyed the ancient theater in the town of Orange. The town visit to Le Baux was a disappointment since we were unable to enter the castle without paying an additional fee-the tour description included the breathtaking view from this castle. Loved the quaint village of Roussillon, but felt rushed. Pont du Garden was an amazing site. Again, not enough time to climb to view points or visit the museum. This was the second time the guide had done this tour, so, although he was friendly, he did not have much to add about the sites and should have narrated the various sites while we rode in the van. Lots of driving. We took a Viator tour when we were in Barcelona. The tour guide there was constantly giving us a commentary of the places on our tour. So, overall we were disappointed in this tour for the money we spent.

My Rating
My husband and I really enjoyed the tour of the Dali Museum and the visit to Dali home in the fishing village of Cadaques. The tour guide was a wealth of information about the artist and talked about him during the ride to reach Figueres. Those in the tour who sat in the back of the van could not hear the guide very well, so i would suggest that Viator give each person a head set for the ride so they don't miss the information about the artist's life. The museum was interesting and unusual as was the artist. Don't miss the separate jewelry collection-amazing. There was time in the lovely and quaint village of Cadaques to have lunch before visiting Dali's beach front home-another look into the strange and fascinating life and creations of the ecentric artist.

The Frozen Rabbi: Week 7, Part 4
As she recovers, Jocheved endures terrible dreams
Oscillating between horror and disbelief, Mr. Karp turned again to his son. "You knew all the time he was still around?"
"Uh-huh," replied Bernie, surprising himself by his utter lack of contrition. "Can I keep him?"
His father exploded: "He's not a pet!"
Upon which Mrs. Karp, who seldom concerned herself in domestic mat-ters, for once made to advise her husband, "The responsibility might be good for the kid."
"Who asked you!"
"Touchy, touchy."
Bernie twisted his head back toward the rabbi in the hope of gaining some show of support, but the old man was already gone. It was three days before he turned up again. In Bernie's late addenda to the annals of the Boibiczer Prodigy that Grandpa Ruby had detailed in his ledger book, old Eliezer's absence is referred to as "the three lost days."
Jocheved awoke on her woven-rope cot after a terrible dream. In the dream she had been in a strange house full of unfamiliar women and men—the women mostly stationary in loose kimonos and wrappers, lounging on moth-eaten divans in an ill-lit parlor, while the men came and went, came and went; though what their purpose was in the house she wasn't sure. Her father had figured in the dream in a frightful fashion, bursting with an unwonted fury into the parlor where she reclined. The years of sitting vigil in the icehouse and patrolling its frozen merchandise had replaced the marrow of Salo's bones with rime, leaving his joints stiff and his back as curved as a shepherd's crook. But in the dream he charged like a bull into the parlor, wielding a crowbar of the type used to pry apart ice cakes, which he swung at the head of a man who was pawing a disheveled Jocheved. Other men assaulted her papa, bloodying him with dirks and blows, since, having dropped the bar in order to lift his daughter, he was now defenseless. In fact, he seemed almost to welcome the knife blades, turning this way and that to receive them, protecting the girl from injury in an improvised waltz. This vision of her papa shielding her as the blood jetted from his wounds seared Jocheved's brain like a signet in hot wax, the wax losing the vision's imprint as it seeped into her breast and bowels. She was aware of her lantern-jawed mother hovering over her in their cellar flat, bathing her forehead with a compress and babbling complaints, but this did not seem to be part of the dream. She was also aware of the half-drawn patchwork curtain and beyond it the featherbed, a deflated cloud in its enameled iron frame, on top of which lay the naked body of her father. His ivory-white limbs were chevroned with gashes the size of open mouths, which a gathering of dour men endeavored to stitch closed, swabbing him with sponges dipped in brine. Jocheved thought it curious how her father's lacerated body had been transported out of a dream and into the cellar crowded with milk churns in cobweb skirts; then having observed as much, she groaned aloud and sought the deeper, dreamless depths of sleep.
When she woke again, her mother was still attending her, wetting her lips and insisting she take a spoonful of barley broth, against which her stomach rebelled. Alongside her mother stood the midwife with her hussar's mustache, the same old crone who had presided at the girl's nativity nearly two decades before; but the bed where her father had lain was now empty. Jocheved took this as proof that the bad dream was finally over and she was awake indeed; it was a conclusion corroborated by the ache in her heart and vitals, which yearned for something her murky mind could not name.

My Husband and I experienced the one night package and it was amazing. The people are so nice and the Inn is gorgeous. The Pkg deal is well worth it!

Beautiful Car but the Mileage for the 3.8 Sedan is terrible and no way matches what Hyundai Claims it gets. Maybe that's why they were just fined $100,000,000 for Inaccurate mileage data reporting on their new vehicles.
The average mileage on my 2014 3.8 sedan & other owners I have spoke to is 11 to 12 miles a gallon in the City.

RealOps Carries 2006 Momentum into 2007 with Launch of New AutoPilot Product Line.
HERNDON, Va. -- RealOps, Inc., the pioneer and leader in Run Book and IT Process Automation, today announced the launch of AutoPilot[TM], a new product line that helps customers solve operational pain points more quickly and easily. AutoPilot, which runs on top of the core product platform AMP[TM], provides out-of-the-box best practice process designs, embedded measurement key performance indicators (KPIs) and pre-canned reports focused on specific areas within IT Service Management, including problem, change and service management.
"The AutoPilot product line extends the power of RealOps AMP, providing ready to use automation targeted at common pain points we've helped customers address repeatedly over the past several years," said John Scott, vice president, marketing and product development. "The AutoPilot product line is built based on the IT Infrastructure Library, so that customers can feel confident that as they address areas of current need, they are establishing a roadmap for best-practices adoption within their environment. Customers have the flexibility to modify the base process designs within AutoPilot to support unique policy, procedures and service level parameters, while maintaining the overall integrity of ITIL process adoption."
The new product line marks the next step in an evolutionary transition toward "ready to use" automation solutions by RealOps. "We recognize that customers are using our products to address specific areas of challenge and need within Operations. The new AutoPilot solutions are designed to offer simpler and more rapid deployment of automation in areas where manual, error prone functions can cripple their business," noted Scott.
The product release comes on the heels of a record year for the company in 2006. RealOps surpassed a number of key milestones set for 2006, including customer, revenue and employee growth. In 2006, corporate revenue grew by more than 300%, anchored by a number of Fortune 500 customers. This growth was fueled in part from the success RealOps has had in its partner ecosystem, which culminated with participation of more than 25 member companies and several strategic partnerships that opened additional channels to market. The release of RealOps AMP version 2.5 and the company's first AutoPilot application - AutoPilot for Network Problem Management - demonstrated continued commitment toward meeting the needs of a growing enterprise customer base and leading the market in IT Process and Run Book Automation.
"2006 was a banner year for RealOps in which we solidified our position as the clear leader in Run Book Automation and IT Process Orchestration within the enterprise management software market. We expect to continue rapid acceleration of growth in all areas of our business throughout 2007," said Sean McDermott, president and chief executive officer of RealOps. "Our momentum has outpaced expectations and we are excited about our plans in 2007, starting with the release of the AutoPilot product line and our plans to launch additional AutoPilot applications throughout the year. We will carry the momentum from 2006 into 2007 as we expand our market leadership, grow our customer base and continue to pave the way for the IT Process Automation market with innovative solutions."

text: Talking Heads 'Psycho Killer' (greg wilson edit) by gregwilson published on 2012/07/04 14:38:27 +0000 Talking Heads 'Psycho Killer' (greg wilson edit) 118 bpm Previously limited DJ only vinyl / CD 2007. Pressed in 2007 as 'Gotta Tape I Wanna Play', I originally put this together for my US debut in October 2005, at APT in NYC – recording here: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/first-time-in-nyc-apt-21-10-05 I was a big fan of 'Stop Making Sense', the Talking Heads concert from 1984, which was released as both a film and an album. It starts with David Byrne on an empty stage with just a ghetto blaster and acoustic guitar, performing one of the band's best-known tracks, 'Psycho Killer, which was originally released in 1977. The beats, courtesy of a Roland TR-808 drum machine, re-appear in extended form over the closing credits. The idea of an edit was there from the moment I bought 'Stop Making Sense' on VHS back in the 80's, but the sound quality from the video wouldn't have been up to scratch. However, when it was released on DVD later down the line, this was no longer a problem, and I was able to let the beats run on their own for a couple of minutes before the guitar enters and the track really kicks in. The edit took off in a big way for me, and later with DJ's including Andrew Weatherall and Optimo. It subsequently became a major festival tune for me and featured in my Essential Mix in 2009 (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/essential-mix-greg-wilson-mix-for-bbc-radio-1). More recently it appeared on my Festival Anthems mix (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/greg-wilson-festival-anthems), and given this, I thought it was a good time to share here. There's more info about 'Stop Making Sense' on the blog, as this was last month's featured album: http://www.gregwilson.co.uk/2012/05/living-to-music-talking-heads-stop-making-sense/ Greg Wilson – July 2012

2008 BEST Brunch
Eastern Standard
This brasserie's knack for maintaining civility amid Kenmore Square's chaos is but one reason to worship Sunday brunches here. The others are the creme brulée French toast, the tomato and basil quiche, and the bloody marys made with vegetable-infused vodka (take that, V8!). The swank-looking digs may scare off the budget-fretful, but that'd be a shame. At $15 or less per brunch entree, Eastern Standard gives better (and tastier) bang for the morning buck than most.
