Dozens of children are suffering from heart diseases in Takhar
Sat Feb 18, 1:32 pm
Many children in northern Takhar province are suffering from heart diseases but their families due to poverty cannot treat their children and are waiting for the registration in the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS).
Mustafa is a child who suffers from cardiopathy disease. "Through multiple agencies, he has gotten access to the Afghan Red Crescent Society and we have tried to send our child abroad for better treatment," his father said.
Takhar ARCS officials said efforts are underway to transfer the children suffering from heart diseases to hospitals in other countries. "In previous years a large number of children who were suffering from this illness have been sent out to foreign countries and the registration of new patients has continued," Takhar ARCS Chief, Ahmad Javed Makhdom-zada said.
The Afghan Red Crescent Society annually sends out dozens of patients abroad with the cooperation of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Nonetheless, a large number of patients are waiting for help while many others lose their lives due to ignorance and lack of access to the health centers in the remote areas of the country.

COLUMBIA CITY — Seven years ago today, Tammy Gross, a Whitley County native, heard the words, "you have breast cancer."
With cancer fought and beaten, Gross now celebrates her recovery as an advocate for the American Cancer Society and finding a cure for breast cancer.
"I never thought this would be the path I would find myself on," Gross said. "I am not a public speaker — I am rather shy in front of crowds. However, I find myself in front of more people now more than ever. If it gives me a chance to encourage someone else fighting cancer, then so be it."
Recently, Gross put aside her fear of public speaking to be the keynote feature for the area's Making Strides event in Fort Wayne.
At the breakfast, Gross shared her story with an audience of hundreds. The event was designed to launch the breast cancer fundraising walk to be held in Headwaters Park in Fort Wayne, Oct. 12.

10. Keeping Up with Kimye
Long distance ain't easy, but thankfully there's Instagram! We loved seeing Kanye West brag about the pics he was sent of his "baby," Kim Kardashian, while in the studio.
9. Kim's Pop of Color
When you're somewhere tropical like Miami, you've got to do as the locals do and add a little flavor. Kim did exactly that with her bright jacket and we loved every inch of it!
8. Family Boat Race
If there's one thing we've learned, it's that you never know what to expect with the Kardashian family. Case in point: the dragon boat races they competed in over the weekend. Kourtney Kardashian even blogged about the day, saying, "My team won! What a blast. I need to do more active things like this more often. YOLO! Our Miami motto."
See how Khloé and Lamar celebrated their third anniversary
7. Toy Shopping with Mason
We love seeing Mason Disick do just about anything, but shopping for toys? That was just too precious for words!
6. Kylie's Style Evolution
While visiting her big sisters in Miami, we got to see two amazing looks from Kylie Jenner: her style twinnage with big sis, Kim, and this fantastic boohoo Darcey print long-sleeved bodycon dress. Yowza!
5. Beach Play
Just when we thought we couldn't love Mason and more, he and daddy Scott Disick chased each other around the beach in white trunks.
Check out Kim's Instagrams of Mercy
4. Kim's Sexy Swimsuits
Kim. Sexy. Bathing Suit. Sorry, we just don't think we need to say anything more than that!
3. Meeting Mercy
Hello, new fluffy kitty friend that we want to squeeze and take endless photos of! Thank goodness Kim is doing a lot of the photography for us.
2. Unicorn Magic
If you didn't believe before, Kourtney and Khloé's Instagram party of playing with their new unicorn buds will make you!
1. Kourtney & Kim Bonding
If you've been Keeping Up with the Kardashians, then you know that having a sister can get a little dramatic. So, it's been great to see Kourtney and Kim spending time together and trying to reconnect. It's something we can't wait to watch on the January premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami!

Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years, June 3–September 24, 2007
Artist, Richard Serra: I had built, I think, six or seven large lead pieces, all dealing with the relationship of a pole and a plate to the wall. But I got very dissatisfied with the wall pieces that somehow they were still dealing with some sort of pictorial convention. And I wanted to move the pieces out onto the floor.
And so we decided to take four lead plates and just lean them up like a house of cards. And that piece weighed about a ton: it was called One Ton Prop. And that was the beginning of a whole series of pieces dealing with basic tectonics of building. I nicknamed it House of Cards.
Once you understand how the House of Cards is being held in terms of one edge leaning against the other holding up all four plates then you can think, what if you took these plates apart? Could you hold all four of them up simply with a roll overhead?

Cid (Tactics A2)
this wiki
|Job class
|Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Character
The leader of Clan Gully, Luso's new family in Ivalice. A mentor and help to Luso in many ways, though ties to a mysterious organization shadows his past. Though a Revgaji, Cid has mastered the jobs of the Bangaa.
- —Description
Cid is a character from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. The Rev leader of a group of hunters, Clan Gully, Cid will make his first appearance by saving Luso from being attacked by a monster, alongside his clanmates from Clan Gully. Intent to help Luso return to his world, Cid acts as a big brother throughout the story, serving a major role not only in the main quests, but also in some sidequests. He seems to hide a mysterious past and connection with Illua and the Khamja.
Meeting with LusoEdit
Cid appears with a viera White Mage and a nu mou Black Mage, hunting a mark, Klesta, who plays an integral role in the game during most of the quests involving House Bowen. Before the mission even begins, Luso Clemens arrives in a flash of light and lands in the middle of the battlefield. Fearing for his safety, Cid tells Luso to trust him and guarantees that Klesta will not do such a thing. Cid then summons a Judge, and the battle is stopped. Luso then swears to serve Clan Gully and becomes a member of it.
Khamja TiesEdit
Cid was previously a member of Khamja, serving as one of Illua's servants. But then Cid lost faith in the organization due to its rules and in-fighting as well as methods. During his attempt to leave the clan permanently, Illua attacked him and left him for dead. It was then that Cid saw a Judge, and realizing the value of life, took a pledge to dedicate his life to a clan, Clan Gully, which would in consequence grant him partial immortality, as members of adjudged clans cannot die from battle. It is sometime after this that the game's plot begins.
Cid can access all bangaa Jobs and functions as a bangaa with relation to laws; for example, the law which forbids "Actions by Bangaa" will be broken if Cid uses an ability in battle. In addition, he is the strongest unit in the clan at the beginning of the game.
At the beginning, he is a guest unit, meaning he cannot be controlled. He will become fully playable when Luso gains access to Fluorgis.
As with all other bangaa units in the game, Cid is best served as a long-distance tank unit. Have him train/level up for some time as a Dragoon, Master Monk, and Templar until he masters the majority or all of the corresponding Jobs' abilities. Then make him a Trickster or a Cannoneer (up to personal preference, but the Trickster is recommended due to its severely high Speed increase) and master their abilities as well.
After that, keep leveling Cid up, alternating between Dragoon, Templar, Master Monk, and Trickster (or other Jobs if desired). Remember to concentrate on Trickster, though. Once he reaches level 99 (or whatever other level one has in mind) he will be one of the strongest units in the game, trained in all or most of his stats (including magic), making him an unstoppable war machine, especially with the Trickster's and Templar's abilities.
Musical ThemeEdit
The name of Cid's musical theme is "Cid". Another song which uses parts of this theme is "Mad Dash!". "Cid" is also played when Al-Cid Margrace is recruited to the player's clan.
Creation and DevelopmentEdit
During an interview with character designer Ryōma Itō, it was revealed that Cid was originally supposed to be thinner, but the idea was scrapped in favor of the final artwork. Some of these early designs of a thinner Cid were used to design Lezaford. In that same interview, Ito said that some inspiration for the bulkier Cid's structure came from American bison. To fit with this, he was given clothes with South and Central American colors and themes.
Other AppearancesEdit
Final Fantasy ArtniksEdit
Final Fantasy Trading Card GameEdit
Cid appears in the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game.
Cid is a recurring name in the Final Fantasy series. [view · edit · purge]The word Cid derives from the Old Spanish loanword cid, which comes from the dialectal Arabic word سيد sîdi or sayyid, which means "lord" or "master."
- In the Spanish translation he speaks in Andalusian Spanish, usually speaking with abbreviations and words usually associated with country people.

San Antonio declares Ellen S. Quillin Day
On this day in 1960, the city of San Antonio officially honored the longtime director of the Witte Memorial Museum by proclaiming the day as Ellen S. Quillin Day. Born Ellen Dorothy Schulz in Michigan in 1892, she did postgraduate study at the University of Texas in the early 1920s and held various positions in the field of science in the San Antonio public school system. She helped found the San Antonio Museum Association in 1925 and was the driving force behind the establishment of the Witte Memorial Museum in 1926, serving as its first director until her retirement in 1960. In 1927 she married ornithologist Roy W. Quillin. Ellen Quillin successfully guided the Witte through the lean Depression years and added the facility's Reptile Garden in the 1930s. This popular tourist attraction also became an important center of research for herpetologists. Quillin was active in numerous civic and professional organizations, and she authored several books on Texas flora and fauna and coauthored The Story of the Witte Memorial Museum, 1922-1960.

A Fair Point on Player of the Year
I've been reading Jeff Rude since I was in high school, mostly because I got Golfweek every week and because he's the back page guy and Rick Reilly had all of us in a Pavlovian condition with the "back page first" maneuver.
Anyway, his recent column on the Player of the Year debate was extremely well done, even if I'm swaying the complete opposite direction of his vote.
Though majors carry extra weight, Woods gets my GWAA vote not only because of his broken-leg mind-blower but because he has three more victories than Harrington. What's more, Woods' dramatic victories at Dubai, WGC Match Play, Bay Hill and the Open, not to mention his blowout at the Buick Invitational, were stuff of fairy tales.
It's hard to argue that Tiger's wins this year were anything short of spectacular, but the bottom line is Padraig Harrington has won two majors and that takes precedent.
There are four tournaments a year that count more than anything else, and even with Woods carding one (and not playing in two) it was Harrington who stepped up from the field and it was Harrington who put together such fantastic back nines.
One of my points that has been lost in arguments is there was more pressure on these golfers after Tiger went down than when he's in the field. Most of the time, you have the top golfers trying to battle Woods, but if they lose it's alright because they were supposed to. When he went out with the knee surgery, everyone turned to the top dogs to show what they were made of. Harrington was the only one that did anything.
As much as I'd like to say Padraig is a shoe-in to win this award, I'm not so certain anymore. People can't get the Tiger taste out of their mouth, and after that performance at Torrey Pines, the taste was sweeter than ever.
If you get a chance, read the rest of Rude's column, because the picks for the U.S. Ryder Cup team are different but very interesting. I think I'm on board.

Yes, but Tiger won one and finished 2nd in the other. Plus he can walk on water...

- The Web Guide offers several features for exploring questions and concepts. These features include: an interactive exploration of critical questions that links to Reference Guide topics and hyperlinks, a presentation about the TB case management timeline this is part of the Visual Guide, an online glossary, and downloadable learning guides for self-paced or mixed self-paced and classroom-based learning curricula. (Flash presentation with downloadable Word and PDF files)
To put these materials to use, two learning guides suggest training curricula for self-paced learning and for a combination of self-paced and classroom-based learning, adaptable to the needs of your jurisdiction or agency. The Facilitator's Guide offers suggestions for presenting a curriculum that combines self-paced study with classroom discussion and activities. The Self-Paced Learning Guide outlines a learning curriculum that can be completed by the learner at his or her own pace.

Marshall softball team beats Radford, 5-1
RADFORD, Va. -- Marshall scored four runs with two outs in the eighth inning and defeated Radford, 5-1, on a blustery Wednesday afternoon at RU Softball Field.
With runners on second and third, Katalin Lucas doubled down the leftfield line to give the Thundering Herd (11-12) its first lead of the contest. An RBI double by Alysia Hively and a run-scoring single by Shaelynn Braxton added the final two runs and Marshall spoiled the home opener for the Highlanders.
Radford (3-13), which stranded seven runners, had the potential game-winning run on second in the sixth and seventh innings, but failed to score. In the sixth, Marshall's Andi Williamson (11-11) recorded two of her 13 strikeouts and in the seventh, she induced a pop up to end both threats.
The Herd's Ashley Gue was 2-for-3 on stolen bases, officially knocking associate head coach Amanda Williams out of third place for the all-time career record of 88. Gue's totatl is 90 now. Gue also had two hits.
Radford's run came in the first on a solo homer by Jesse Hutchens.
Marshall will return to action this weekend at home against Southern Miss. Saturday's Conference USA doubleheader will start at 1 p.m. at Dot Hicks Field.
The finale Sunday begins at noon.

Recently a scholar came to us and presented credentials that he was from the Dragonslayer Covenant. He studied with us for many months, claiming his order was in desperate need to fight the forces of House Aelfwar. Instead we have found that this was a lie. He was a Defiant operative who stole certain unique books including the "Tome of Amber". We have been working with a scout to track the man. I'm sure that he could use your assistance in recovering the book from that literary thief.
Well done, [%NAME]. This will give us the insight we need about what Hylas's ultimate goals are. It also gives us insight into these planes of existence. Are there worse threats than the Primordial Dragon? That thought chills me, but we must be prepared.

President Paul Kagame has put an end on reports that the Rwandan constitution will be amended to allow him run for a third term in office. He made the revelation during a press briefing in Kigali on Feb.27.
The constitution allows a maximum of two seven year terms and president Kagame is currently in the third year of his second term which ends in August 2017.
"Look at me; I am not the person who needs the third term. I don't need it. I don't need your third term," Kagame said, blaming the media for having started the third term talk.
"I want to do my business for which the Rwandans entrusted me to do and when am done I will be done...I can continue to serve my country in very many different ways."
Kagame said he was thinking about the future of Rwanda not the third term.
Referring to the Feb. 8 meeting of the extended National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) of which Kagame is the Chairman, he said, "My version was clear. I said everything I had to say and I meant what I said."
The President said he raised three important issues during the NEC, which are change, continuity and stability.
"I raised the issue of change and which is indeed entailed in the constitution of Rwanda. And what is expected in 2017 is change subject to term limits."
"I also raised the issue of continuity: Meaning continuity of progress Rwanda has been making. I believe the country has been making progress but you might have your own views," Kagame said.
"Lastly I talked about Stability-Rwanda's situation is very complex and unique. We have our history that is complicated," he further said, adding that there should not be any ambiguity on what was discussed in the NEC meeting.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
DOHC Ford Modular Engine - What a (Big) Bore
How Big And Wild Can You Go With Today's Modular Technology?
Horse Sense:
If you're thinking that a big-bore modular Ford small-block is just what you want for your high-performance Mustang, make sure you hook up with a machine shop outfitted with the right equipment to handle the specific hardware this engine demands. Check out the modular specialists in this magazine and talk to folks who have completed similar projects.
Everywhere you look, the modular Mustang takeover is in full swing. Ford is offering the hot-test Mustangs ever with the GT, the Mach 1, and the Cobra; our magazine is full of ads offering cool parts for your new Mod-'Stang; and modular-powered Mustangs are legitimate threats in heads-up Ford drag racing.
It would seem that everything is perfect in the modular performance arena. But the bulk of parts sold to modular racers are basic ones-shifters, cold-air kits, suspension components, and bolt-on power adders. Hard-core fanatics of the modular Ford are longing for the aftermarket to develop proven stroker kits, ported heads and intake packages, and-perhaps most of all-reliable valvetrain and camshaft gear that can take the ravages of big modular power without puking all over the starting line.
Andrew Cluck of Columbus, Ohio, approached us with an interesting story idea. He wanted to share his trials and tribulations of designing and building a big-bore modular DOHC engine to help educate anyone else facing the same daunting task. A reformed street racer with 13 speeding tickets on his résumé, Andy knows a thing or 13 about fast cars. His bolt-on '98 Cobra had run 12.30s at more than 110 mph with the stock exhaust manifolds and no computer tuning, so he was off to a good start. Having driven 450-rwhp cars before, he set that as his goal for a wild-street-car combination.
Not wanting to go the blower route or rely on nitrous during those "special" moments, Andy decided that a naturally aspirated version of the Four-Valve motor that the car came with could be just what he needed to scratch that itch. Once he began looking around, he realized that modular bore-and-stroker kits were coming onto the market, so he thought he'd add that into the project as well. When all the details were listed on paper, Andy had planned out a 5.3 naturally aspirated combination that would reliably crank out 450 rwhp on pump gas, with the strength to take a 200hp shot of spray if the opportunity arose. With the right suspension and supporting gear in place, the car would have the potential to run in the nine-second zone while still having the quality reliability of a commuter car. But where to begin?
When you're talking DOHC modular Ford small-blocks, you begin with those massive cylinder heads that are just dripping with high-rpm potential. Andy was nice enough to share his personal notes on all the different versions of these cylinder heads that are available to the hot rodder.

Carmina for Epaulet | Salinger Shell Cordovan Double Monk
As most menswear enthusiasts, I'm an admirer of Horween Shell Cordovan and also a lover of the double monk strap, so Carmina for Epaulet marrying the two together in holy monk matrimony is truly a sight for sore eyes. And while you will have to "pony up" in price for the shell, these shoes are more than leather and stitching one buckles onto his feet but grandeur you can physically wear; majesty for the feet.
From Epaulet, "This particular shoe is crafted in beautiful "saddle" Horween Shell Cordovan. This vibrant color is an excellent match to navy, grey, and brown trousers. It's incredible with denim as well. Saddle is a bit darker and paler than Whiskey, a bit lighter and less red than Ravello. This beautiful shade is quite rare in the world of footwear, and we're absolutely smitten with it. The Salinger sits on the Inca last – which is an excellent balance of a sleek shape with ample toe room and comfort. Its details include: silvertone buckles, stitched captoe, signature purple leather liner, elastic top buckle attachment (allowing you to slip into them easily), and a sturdy goodyear-welted double leather sole."
For a further inspection, head over to Epaulet.
Bob permalinkMarch 5, 2012 4:56 pm
A beautiful shoe but if (and when) I have to choose, I think I would go with Sid Mashburn's double monk strap as I prefer the double outsole.
Nevertheless, a double monk in shell cordovan is pretty enticing.
Oh well, I will add these to this wish list.

Verizon Holiday Phones
Intro Voyager Venus Juke Pearl 2 Comments
Top message: Not impressed by Wireless Buddy
Replying to: Re: Not impressed by vega7racer
Re: Not impressed
Very true indeed. Good point. I mean Sure the Venus is basically the chocolate w/ a touchscreeen on it as you've already said and thank fully they upped the camera fro a 1.3 to 2 MP. Finaly. It took them forever to do that. I just wish they would've given the new Motorola Q9M a 2 MP camera instead of a stingy 1.3. That would've made it all the more better honestly. Wait, is the Voyager the only phone with Verizon's newer UI on it then? I thought the Venus had it newer UI on it as well. Yeah from a marketing standpoint and considering I'm an advertising/marketing major, Verizon hit the market big w/ the Chocolate phone because it looks good.

For over a century, the Smithsonian has been a shrine to famous Americans. Whereas cathedrals traditionally display the relics of saints, museums display relics of secular heroes. One can learn much about America by considering who has been enshrined in the Smithsonian. The National Museum of American History's collections contain a few literal relics—the hair of the presidents, for example. More typically, the museum has collected personal belongings and symbolic items, from George Washington's sword to Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves. Heroes reflect the experiences and needs of the generation that creates them, and those needs have changed as America has changed. Who has been included in the Smithsonian's historical hall of fame, and how have these people reflected certain American values and ideals?

Book DescriptionA partly Biographical tale from Chetan Bhagat, the book is about how Punjabi boy and a Tamil Girl meet each other in IIM-A, fall in love and decide to marry each other but the problems arise when on the convocation day their parents meet and due to cultural differences their marriage is called off. What ensues is a combination of love and humour laced with small tragedies in between. Soon to be adapted on screen by the same name the book takes subtle jibes at the cultural differences in India and specially the two cultural backgrounds to which the boy and the girl belong.
About the AuthorChetan Bhagat is the author of best-selling novels like Five Point Ssomeone and 3 Mistakes of my Life amongst others. He is regarded as "the biggest selling English language novelist in India's history" by The New York Times and all but one of his books have been adapted on screen and proved to be blockbusters. He is a graduate from IIT-D and completed his education from IIM-A, and hence is well connected to the problems most of today's generation face and has a huge connect with the youth of India.

Nautical Lamp Re-Vamp
Summer is in full force with days so hot you have to get in the water. If I can't get away to the shore, I like to escape in my beachy bathroom.
The room needed a few new nautical additions, so I took an old lamp and gave it a re-vamp using thick boat rope, and adding a new shade with hand-painted stripes on it. An easy project with a great end result!

In 3ds Max 2011 Essential Training, author Aaron F. Ross demonstrates how to use this top-tier application for digital content creation, widely used in diverse industries such as architecture, industrial design, motion pictures, games and virtual worlds. This course covers modeling with polygons, curves, and subdivision surfaces, defining surface properties with materials and maps, setting up cameras and lights, animating objects, and final output rendering. Exercise files accompany the course.
So our rendering is complete, and I've got a sequence of images here in my renderoutput folder, and I've got 241 frames. As you can see, because it's a PNG, 24- bit Windows is able to build thumbnails. So I can check these out. I can even click on them and see, spot check to make sure that these are good, which they are. I am going to use QuickTime Pro to combine all these single images into a movie and compress it out to a nice lossy but good-looking format.
Then if I want, I can put that on the Web or e-mail it to someone or whatnot. So I am going to use QuickTime Pro to do that. Now I could use lots of programs to do that. Any video editing program or compositing program will have this capability, but this is just a very simple example of where I am just taking the images and stitching them together and exporting it out to a compressed format. So I'll use QuickTime Pro to do that, and you do have to have QuickTime Pro. The non-pro version or the free version doesn't have this functionality. I am going to go to the File menu and I'm going to Open Image Sequence, and I want to navigate to my image sequence, and that's actually on my desktop under Exercise Files > renderoutput > robot_ sequence, and I'll just choose the first frame, and I do need to tell QuickTime what my frame rate is, because since these are individual still frames, they don't have any implicit duration.
So I have to actually tell QuickTime what my frame rate is and either 29.97 or 30 will work fine. 3ds Max doesn't support 29.97 so the actual true frame rate of these is actually 30, so I'll do that and I'll click Open. QuickTime loads those images into memory. It'll take a moment to think about it, and now I've got a new window open. And kind of like the 3ds Max RAM Player, actually if I press Play here now I'm seeing a playback from memory.
Cool! So I am ready to export this, so I'll go to the File menu and what you don't want to do is save, ironically, because if you use the Save command here what you would end up doing is either you would create just an empty file that just had links back to the original PNGs, or you would create a mega mondo PNG file. Basically all those PNGs would then be encapsulated inside of QuickTime movie container. Neither one of those is a good result.
What I want to do actually here is export it to a completely different format. So I need to use the Export command and within QuickTime, actually I can define my file name and everything but first I want to check out the options for the export. So the default options are actually good, and I might just leave it alone. You'll see compression is H.264 and that's the current gold standard for video compression. In fact, Flash and Blu-Ray and a lot of other formats, even YouTube, uses H.264 because it's very efficient.
It'll compress this down to a very small size while preserving the image quality. But if I wanted to, I could go into the settings here and tweak this out and change it up. Maybe I'll increase the Quality up to Best. In this case, I don't want to restrict the Data Rate. If I was putting this on the Web, I might need to restrict the Data Rate to target a certain bandwidth for my users. But this is fine. I am going to leave this alone. Click back out here again and I am going to save it out to a movie file. I don't want to put it into the same folder as my PNGs because that's going to kind of pollute my assets.
So I am going to go up one step here, one level, and I'll just call this robotArm.mov. I click Save and QuickTime thinks about it for a second. It exports it out to a new file. When it's finished, I am going to want to open up my new file because what I'm seeing here in this window is not the output. This is still the input. It's the image sequence. So I want to close this window and I want to go to my output folder and there is my new file and I want to open that up.
You'll notice that it's only 2 megabytes. Double-click on that and play this back. You'll see there's a little bit of color sampling issue where it's looking kind of little bit blocky, and there is nothing I can do about that, but that's just the nature of H.264 and most video compressors are going to do that. So you can see there is a little bit of a loss in this process. By and large, H.264 is pretty good and it's only because I have this really extreme green color that it's obvious that I'm getting a little bit of artifacting.
So that's the process for rendering with the Default Scanline Renderer. You'll output an image sequence and then take it into some program, combine that to a movie, maybe edit it or composite it and finally, export it to whatever final output medium.

Are you actually saying you believe commit/rollback is a *bad* thing?
If so, you are definitely the first person I've ever heard say that...
I'm not criticizing your opinion; I'm just trying to understand. I
agree with you that feature creep causes major bloat, which in turn

important feature for guaranteeing data reliability, I would
definitely consider it worth the slight risk the added code
One reason I avoided using mysql for so long was specifically because
it lacked commit/rollback functionality.

S. Korean Bellicose Forces' War Exercises Flayed
| Pyongyang, March 19 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet bellicose forces staged the joint exercises for airlifting supplies for the first half of 2010 in Kyonggi and South Kangwon provinces on Mar. 15 and 16 and a river crossing drill in Kyonggi Province on Mar. 17, according to Yonhap News of south Korea.
Involved in those exercises were the fifth tactical airborne corps of the puppet air force and the first logistic support command of the army. The exercises were reported to be mainly designed to rapidly hurl armed forces, equipment and war materiel necessary for executing a war in "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula.
"C-130H" and "CN-235" and other huge war equipment were hurled into those madcap air dropping and air-lifting and landing exercises.
The warmongers of the sixth engineer brigade under the puppet sixth army corps were busy with ensuring the river-crossing of attacking units by mobilizing K-1 tanks, various type river-crossing facilities and huge forces.
This indicates that the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet bellicose forces are keen on the exercises for mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK.

Ubuntu Touch – SDK alpha and preview images released
The Software Development Kit (SDK) and preview installation images for Ubuntu Touch have been released. Ubuntu Touch is the umbrella name for Ubuntu for Phone and Ubuntu for Tablets. Both platforms were released this year, with the latter coming just a few days ago.
This is a developer preview release for the code-happy to mess with. But since Canonical does not have its own hardware for its platforms, developers can only install (flash) them on existing hardware. Currently, only four devices are supported – the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and the Nexus 10. Flashing or installation guide for all devices available here.
Mark Shuttleworth and his crew appear to have most of the pieces to one-up industry leaders in the mobile arena, but something is missing. Without that missing piece, it's going to be tough sledding for his company. And that missing ingredient? His own hardware – a Ubuntu phone or tablet. More on that in a future article.
More information about the images and the SDK here.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Battered by the economic downturn and years of animal rights activism in their own backyard, American mink farmers are now in a different sort of quandary: scrambling to keep up with China's demand for all things fur.
Driven by a hunger for high-end clothing and luxury home goods among China's burgeoning middle class, U.S. exports of mink pelts to China jumped to a record $215.5 million last year - more than double both the value and volume shipped in 2009.
That Chinese consumers are clamoring for fuzzy-trimmed backpacks, ermine-edged coats and mink-covered office supplies comes as a welcome respite for the U.S. mustelidae world.
The industry's fortunes had chilled in recent years, with farms shuttering and prices slumping amid the past two recessions and mounting criticism of the fur trade by U.S. and European animal rights groups.
Now, prices of farmed mink pelts are soaring to all-time highs. South Korea and Russia, too, have contributed to a surge in demand that led to shipments of 11.8 million pelts worth $479 million worldwide by U.S. farmers, trappers and auction houses last year. That was nearly triple the level in 2009.
Weather has kept the demand piling on in recent months. Both Russia and China experienced unusually cold winters late last year.
For now, at least, Chinese buyers and manufacturers are flocking to fur auction houses in Seattle and Canada by the droves. At a recent sale held at North American Fur Auctions in Toronto, the demand drove black male mink pelts to an average price of more than $141 each.

Two-goal substitute Charles N'Zogbia sparked a second-half fightback against Hull to fire Wigan into the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-1 victory.
Hull had led through a Geovanni free-kick but N'Zogbia's entry proved inspired as he quickly struck twice and set up another for James McCarthy at the sparsely-populated DW Stadium.
Scott Sinclair then wrapped up victory by capping a fine performance with an excellent individual effort in the last minute.

For almost a decade, Elisabeth Hasselbeck couldn't figure out what was making her so sick. She consulted doctors and nutritionists—no one had any answers. But while starving in the Australian Outback on the TV show Survivor, her symptoms vanished. It was clear that something in her diet back home had been severely damaging her body—but what?
Upon her return to the U.S., Hasselbeck diagnosed herself with celiac disease (she was later formally diagnosed by Dr. Peter Green), an autoimmune reaction to gluten: the protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and some oats. Removing this one element would be the key to restoring her health. But she still had to revamp her diet, spot gluten in popular products, and order G-Free meals at restaurants. THE G-FREE DIET simplifi es all this work for the estimated three million Americans who have celiac disease, the 30 million who have food intolerances, and the millions more who want to reshape their bodies inside and out.
In November 2003, Elisabeth Hasselbeck joined ABC's The View, as a co-host. Unafraid to express her candid views, Mrs. Hasselbeck has proven herself as a woman who will not let her voice be compromised, while maintaining thoughtful conversation ranging from war to womens' issues.
The View, recipient of the 2003 Daytime Emmy® Award for "Outstanding Talk Show," is the original forum where real women discuss relevant, everyday issues and share their daily, no-holds-barred opinions and lively, colorful conversations. The program premiered in August 1997, and is broadcast live weekdays from New York City. In addition, The View has received 22 Daytime Emmy Awards and has 10 consecutive nominations for Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host for Ms. Hasselbeck and her co-hosts. The View celebrated its 2000th Show on February 2, 2006 and is currently in its 11th season. On it, Mrs. Hasselbeck has interviewed celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Madonna, to politicians including Senator Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Former President Clinton, Former President Bush, and current President Barack Obama.
In August 2004, Mrs. Hasselbeck spoke at the Republican National Convention, where she delivered a heartfelt speech that emphasized her continued effort in support of Breast Cancer prevention and research. In 2008 she joined the Presidential campaign, and hit the trails in support of the Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain.
In June 2004, Elisabeth ran through the streets of New York City carrying the official Olympic Torch in celebration of the Summer Games in Athens, Greece. In recent years she has worked with the, Alzheimers Association, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Making Memories Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, The Wireless Amber Alert Program Initiative, and Autism Speaks, and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. Since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, Elisabeth has committed to raising awareness about the autoimmune disease. She is the author of "THE G-FREE DIET", released May of 2009.
Previously Mrs. Hasselbeck exhibited her flair for fashion as host of the Style Network's The Look for Less, where she helped viewers find designer styles at bargain prices. She has served as spokeperson and done commercial work for Reebok, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble, Bright Beginnings Infant Formula and Dreft. Elisabeth was formerly known to television audiences as a participant on the wildly popular second edition of Survivor: The Australian Outback. While competing in Australia, Mrs. Hasselbeck used her competitive drive and survival skills to outwit, outplay, and outlast her way to the final four.
Prior to working on-camera,, Mrs. Hasselbeck designed shoes for PUMA. Currently, she designs womens' apparel line for QVC: "Elisabeth Hasselbeck for Dialogue".
A 1999 Fine Arts graduate from Boston College, Mrs. Hasselbeck's focus was on large scale paintings and industrial design. While at B.C. she captained her Division-1 softball team to back-to-back Big East championships. In 1999 she completed the Boston Marathon. She has been honored with the Boston College Distinguished Alumni Award.
Mrs. Hasselbeck resides in New York City with her husband, Tim Hasselbeck-ESPN NFL Analyst and former NFL quarterback, and their children. Grace and Taylor. The couple is expecting their third child in August.

Perk up ham, pork or poultry with this chutney.
In a medium size saucepan add pineapple and the juices from the can. Add raisins, sugar, ginger root, dried cherries, cinnamon, onion, and vinegar. Stir on medium heat for 10 minutes then lower heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let chutney cool and place in containers to store in the refrigerator. Use with a pork or poultry dish; it just adds a bit of tang!

M'Poko Airport in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic, is a hub of activity. Internally displaced Central Africans camp on the runway; soldiers from all around the continent line the perimeter; while advisors and combat forces from as far away as France patrol the gateways.
Which of these groups you perceive to have the strongest presence depends, to a great extent, on your point of view. From the air it seems to be the Central Africans, seen from the terminal building it is the African Union (AU) soldiers who are most visible, but at the entry checkpoints it is the Europeans that are in control.
French forces under Operation Sangaris were deployed to the airport in December 2013. They were soon followed by the African-led International Support Mission in the Central African Republic (MISCA) that included troop contributions from Rwanda, Chad, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Burundi, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In April 2014, France voted to increase its presence from 2,000 to 4,000 men. Member states of the European Union (EU) also began sending troops to M'Poko; Finnish and Estonian troops have already deployed as part of the European Union Force for the Central African Republic (EUFOR RCA). At the April EU-Africa summit, the United Nations (UN) authorised a new mission to the CAR that would increase MISCA's numbers from 6,000 to 10,000, as well as providing an additional 1,800 police officers from September 2014.
With half of all troops resting at any given moment, there are currently several thousand active peace-keepers deployed at M'Poko Airport, across Bangui and in the CAR's key rural towns. They share a mandate to "help protect civilians, stabilise the country and restore State authority over the territory, as well as create conditions conducive to the provision of humanitarian assistance". Their presence is aimed at discouraging random internal movement by providing civilians with a sense of security. It is also designed to facilitate systemised movement - or evacuation - when the circumstances render that necessary. Additionally, peacekeepers play a key role in securing the transport of aid and consumer goods through M'Poko, border posts and rural hubs.
Following the recent summit, France is expected to extend its mandate to include the use of "all necessary means" to enable a national disarmament campaign. Nevertheless, the Sangaris, MISCA and EUFOR troops are, and will remain, a joint peace enforcement operation and not a force for offensive action.
The UN authorises and advises the collective intervention force. It cannot, however, ensure adherence to the mandate it approved or create a sense of unity. This has proven to be unachievable among the MISCA ranks. In December 2013 for example, a group of Burundian soldiers - of which a total of 850 were deployed to the CAR under MISCA - opened fire on a Chadian unit, killing three peace-keepers. In May of this year, rumours circulated in Bangui that opportunistic Burundian soldiers were lending their uniforms to militia for economic gain. Reports have also leaked through the Central African press that Congolese units have refused to cooperate with other MISCA units, while members of the Cameroonian deployment, owing to wage arrears, have refused to cooperate at all.
Most significantly, Chadian soldiers withdrew following accusations that they committed human rights abuses during fighting near the airport in March that killed 24 and injured over 100. The 800 strong Chadian unit had been instrumental in evacuating Bangui's Muslim population to towns north of the city and to refugee camps over the CAR's borders. Chadian-led convoys leaving the city each week became a prime target for militia grenade attacks. The abuse accusations were made after Chadian soldiers responded by opening fire on one occasion.
Despite being nominally coordinated by Multinational Operational Commander, General Martin Toumeta Chomu of Cameroon, each African contingent has the scope to act independently on the ground. This is in part due to the changing nature of the conflict, which requires situational reactions, but it is also because direct orders of AU units come from a national (i.e. Chadian, Burundian, Cameroonian or Congolese etc.) commander. This commander himself follows nationally stipulated, rather than coordinated or international, terms of engagement. This leaves considerable room for regional agendas. The direct action that Chadian peacekeepers took to defend convoys leaving Bangui might be understood as a reflection of Chadian President Idriss Déby's policy of direct mediation in the CAR, particularly since the national commander of the Chadian troops is the president's brother.
The combined UN force is limited by its peace-keeping mandate and hampered by lack of unity and inadequate funding. This intervention force will not relieve the conflict. The supplementary UN mission expected in September and supported by the April EUFOR arrivals is equally unlikely to resolve it.
The absence of a national army, reliable infrastructure and institutions, as well as an established government, will hinder progress towards a resolution. The activities of several armed groups with strong designs for artisanal mines, the presence of over 500,000 displaced civilians and the wide-spread sharing of toxic rumours of cannibalism and disenfranchisement due to displacement, will only make matters more difficult.
It is overly optimistic to expect that peace will soon be restored to the CAR. The fluidity of the situation, as evidenced by the last six months, does, however, demonstrate that significant changes are possible. In December 2013, the country was led by Michel Djotodia and threatened by a rebel group known as the ex-Séléka. In January, Djotodia sought exile in Cameroon and was replaced by Interim President Catherine Samba-Panza, backed by France and the Republic of Congo. By February, the self-formed vigilante militias that forced the ex-Séléka to flee Bangui became the new number one enemy of the state. By March, these groups had grown confident enough to include UN troops amongst their targets. In April, ex-Séléka began orchestrating reprisal attacks outside of Bangui and in May, new self-defence groups were established in the capital to fight against the vigilante militias.
When the new UN recruits arrive at M'Poko airport they will not face the same situation that resulted in their deployment. But their mandate and command structures will not have changed to reflect the new facts on the ground. They will attempt to establish order and stability, but are unlikely to succeed.
