OakCLT was established as a tool to steward land and housing for the permanent benefit of the community. While the stewardship of affordable housing is the most common role that CLTs play, many also steward other beneficial community uses. OakCLT is in the midst of developing a plan to support urban agricultural and community gardening activity in Oakland. Our primary role will be to acquire and provide secure access to land for residents and organizations looking to grow their own produce. Recognizing that fresh food options can be scarce (and often prohibitively expensive) in East and West Oakland, active urban agriculture and community gardens can serve as a healthy and locally accessible source of vegetables and fruits for neighborhood residents. OakCLT will support the gardening efforts of land trust homeowners, as well as residents and organizations already engaged in agricultural activities.
For now, check out the great work of our friends and allies in Oakland working on food access and justice issues:

Triboelectricity is the physics of charge generated through friction. The photo to the left shows a girl's hair
standing on end while she has her hand on a Van de Graff generator, which transfers electrons to the metal sphere
via a rubber belt. Another familiar example is rubbing a balloon on your shirt and sticking it to the wall.
the table below, rubbing any material in the list with any material below it will cause the upper material to become
positively charged. For example rubbing celluloid on nylon will produce a negative charge on the celluloid and a positive
charge on the nylon. The farther apart the materials are in the list, the greater the charge will be.
Click here for the Electrostatic Discharge Association's
web site on ESD.
Electrostatics is the branch of science that deals with the phenomena arising from stationary or slowly moving
electric charges.
Since classical antiquity it was known that some materials such as amber attract light particles after rubbing.
The Greek word for amber, ήλεκτρον (electron), was the source of the word 'electricity'. Electrostatic phenomena arise
from the forces that electric charges exert on each other. Such forces are described by Coulomb's law. Even though
electrostatically induced forces seem to be rather weak, the electrostatic force between e.g. an electron and a proton,
that together make up a hydrogen atom, is about 40 orders of magnitude stronger than the gravitational force acting
between them.
Electrostatic phenomena include many examples as simple as the attraction of the plastic wrap to your hand after
you remove it from a package, to the apparently spontaneous explosion of grain silos, to damage of electronic components
during manufacturing, to the operation of photocopiers. Electrostatics involves the buildup of charge on the surface
of objects due to contact with other surfaces. Although charge exchange happens whenever any two surfaces contact
and separate, the effects of charge exchange are usually only noticed when at least one of the surfaces has a high
resistance to electrical flow. This is because the charges that transfer to or from the highly resistive surface are
more or less trapped there for a long enough time for their effects to be observed. These charges then remain on the
object until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge: e.g., the familiar phenomenon
of a static 'shock' is caused by the neutralization of charge built up in the body from contact with nonconductive
surfaces. - Wikipedia

Here we are again, another round of Best and Worst Celebrity Looks of the Week! Here's what happened last week. Go through this week's photos and pick your favorites for BEST, WORST, and WTF looks. And discuss whether or not Kate Hudson did something to her face.
Welcome back to Best and Worst Celebrity Looks of the Week! Time once again to take a gander at what celebs are wearing and dub someone BEST, WORST, and WTF. My picks are at the bottom. Let's get right to it!
Every year the Met Gala happens in New York City, and every year it's the same thing: super-big-name celebrities are invited gratis, and other, more fledging celebrities have to pay through the nose to secure admission (no joke—Kate Upton paid $25k for her ticket and she does CAT DADDY), and you have good fashion and bad fashion and not a whole lot in between. The event's always cool, though, because you get to see the best and the worst of celebrity fashion and this year was no exception.
In today's list, we have Jessica Biel, who wouldn't be on this list if it weren't for her engagement to Justin Timberlake (that's actually not true, but it's probably how she feels about the situation); Emma Stone, who looks like every little-girl-who-prefers-red-instead-of-pink's fairy princess come true; Marion Cotillard and bangs that are as short and choppy as that one time when I cut my own with meat scissors back in after I saw them on some girl on E! on wine night—only difference is they look good on her; Gisele Bundchen, who can barely do any wrong ('til she opens her mouth, anyway); and Camilla Belle, who is really coming into her own and looking fierce as hell.
Honorable mention? Carey Mulligan, up top. Not many people can pull off a dress that says, "No, don't look at me—look at you!"
#5 – Jessica Biel
#4 – Gisele Bundchen
#3 – Marion Cotillard
#2 – Emma Stone
#1 – Camilla Belle
Who looked the best?
Ok, I love Camilla Belle. Love. Her. So much. I think she's so stunning and she was in one of my tip top favorite movies, The Chumscrubber, plus she used to date the hot Jonas Brother, so basically she's perfect. And then this outfit happened.
Lady tuxes, really? I hate a damn lady tux. Camilla Belle was looking totally gorgeous, as always, and then she has to throw on this gross, silky mess of a tuxedo. I want to rip this trend off of the entire world and burn it in a barrel in my backyard, along with Katy Perry's worthless demands and anything that Courtney Love has ever worn. Who's with me?
Really, she doesn't. Remember when those two weren't sleeping together but having ice cream dates instead and it sort of weirded everyone out because they looked like brother and sister with those wavy, permed eyebrows and long, somber, emo'd out faces?
Well apparently, Camilla Belle has grown up and shed her bushy brows, ditched the grey-tone skinny jeans and is looking frankly AMAZING these days, especially in her recent Jezebel magazine shoot.
Keep at it, girl. If we're comparing apples to oranges here, you're way hotter and more sophisticated than Taylor Swift, so own it. Just don't be surprised if old girl Taylor pulls a voodoo doll out on your ass for being all gifted on the mattress and stealing her once-chaste boyfriends.
The 19-year-old Joe Jonas and his actress girlfriend Camilla Belle have split, a fact that was confirmed by her rep. "Yes, it's true. [Joe and Camilla] have broken up. There is no third party involved and they care deeply about each other and will remain friends."
For Joe's part, he made a public statement of his own at a concert Sunday night in Detroit. He changed a line of song lyrics from "Get a rep for breakin' hearts, now I'm done with superstars" to "Get a rep for breakin' hearts, now I'm done with movie stars."
Oh, the teenage angst of it all.
They've been rather secretive about their romance, but Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle looked very much the couple as they took in an LA Dodgers game on Monday. The whole Jonas clan attended — including Frankie, the one who's not in the band. I'd actually never even heard about him until now. I'm gonna go ahead and be pleased with myself about that.
The woman in the blue dress is Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt. When I went to business school in LA, in my past lifetime, I had the opportunity to take a course Jamie taught on women in leadership. Although she gave me a B — not cool, Jamie — it was one of the most useful courses I took during the entire degree program. I totally use way more of what Jamie taught me than anything I learned in investment finance or accounting (which is probably a good thing, given the economy right now — sorry to all my classmates who became I-bankers!). She's a total inspiration who manages to be a well-respected professional in a male-dominated industry while maintaining a healthy, loving marriage and raising children who adore her. I wanna be her when I grow up.

In the last few weeks, persons from all parts of Nigeria have been gathering at the Civil Service club located along the Shehu Yar'adua express way, Utako, Abuja, ostensibly to collect the Civil Service employment forms in response to a directive from a circular issued by the Federal Government to the unemployed. The gathering broke into a protest a few days ago because of the seemingly endless waiting, temporarily interrupting activities along that route. After long hours of waiting, the job seekers could not obtain the forms, and were told in some instances that the forms were not available or had finished. This led to the protest which thankfully was not violent, even though some policemen got drafted to the scene, well armed as usual.
This obvious tokenist approach to alleviating the problem of unemployment is just not it. Trying to get the Civil Service to absolve the unemployed at a time when the government is telling us it is cash strapped smacks of irony of the absurd: How is it possible to employ when there is no cash backing and right in the last quarter of the year and with what budget? It's beyond the understanding of those out there in the street. This is no way to create jobs or employment. If the government is serious about creating jobs and employment it must embrace a holistic approach that dissuades attention from employment into the Civil Service.
The best bet is to establish enabling environment to encourage individuals and groups exploration of their latent entrepreneurial skills and talents. This would demand the enactment of practical policies or a review of existing ones to accommodate innovations and creativity in different fields and sectors of the economy. Unless the government gives serious attention to such development policies, unemployment and consequent youth restiveness would remain with us for a time to come.
Unemployment is agreeably a global issue, but a number of countries have evolved policies that have not only halved their unemployment rates, but look to curtail future economic crises that would result in the reawakening of the scourge in unacceptable proportions. There is need to be proactive in this particular regard, as our army of unemployed grow, so do our fears of the resultant insecurities. Nigeria has seen and is still witnessing the result of government negligence and/or lackadaisical attitude to issues in the high spate of kidnappings for ransom, recruitment into insurgency activities and assassinations. The list goes on.
Economic revival in all its ramifications is definitely what we need. It should be beyond imported Bretton Woods' ideas to something that must situate within our peculiarities and circumstances. We believe that there are ideas out there worth exploring, but which out of wrong attitude we choose to ignore them. We suggest that to start a sincere economic revival, we need to revisit those failed industries and provide them in all sincerity with the required interventions, not just on paper, but in all practicalities. Anything short of this will lead to a lot motion without movement and the next protest from the unemployed may not be that peaceful again.

Shola Oyeyipo — A former Vice-President of the World Bank, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has again stressed the need for governments at all level to be accountable and transparent so as to strengthen the countries democratic process.
Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, said this in her lecture presented at the Open City Conference held in Port Harcourt.
She said: "Democracy is not complete until the citizens participate in the political activities of their nation in the way that they have credible voice to demand for accountability and good governance.
"The first is to understand what democracy is, the second is to understand the role of citizens in upholding a viable democracy. If citizens do not participate in democracy, then you consider that democracy as near enough a military government."
She also stressed the need to understand public policy.
She also expressed belief that Nigeria would overcome its challenges, saying: " You are going to be constrained by the failing Nigeria, you would be limited by a failing Nigeria until you understand that Nigeria's success is your success.
Addressing the forum which was largely attended by youths, she added: "You are the generation that is most interconnected. The idea of this conference, when you look at it in true ramification and dept of understanding, it's really about the interconnection, the integrated solutions that emerge as a result of the multi sectoral element that you find within a framework.
Ezekwesili was on Sunday attacked by the Federal Government over her allegation that the Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan's administrations squandered $67 billion in foreign reserves and from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) left behind by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
She had alleged that the squandering of $45 billion in foreign reserves and $22 billion in the Excess Crude Account (ECA) by the Yar'Adua-Jonathan administration was "the most egregious" instance of Nigeria's failure to make the right developmental choices
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has been urged to come out clean to inform Nigerians about the true position of the country's $67 billion foreign reserve purported to have been squandered.
Making this call yesterday, Lagos-based constitutional lawyer, Fred Agbaje, described the claim by the government that Ezekwesili did not render account for N458 billion during her tenure as a "bare face rhetoric."
While noting that "the Federal Government is only putting up an unacceptable alibi and bare face rhetoric in other to distract and fool the nation" in the face of Ezekwesili's accusation, he advised that the "Federal Government should as a matter of urgency, tell Nigerians what happened to our $67bn foreign reserve without further rhetoric and delays.
He queried the rationale behind the FG's initial quietness over its allegation that Ezekwesili had not accounted for N458 billion, maintaining that it was simply an attempt to water-down the weighty allegation of corruption levelled against the government.

Where Are They Now: 16 and Pregnant's Cleondra Carter
Cleondra Carter's episode of 16 and Pregnant aired almost a year ago on May 17, 2011 — and we're dying to know what she's up to now!
Last time we checked on Cleondra, she and her baby daddy, Mario Escovedo, had just given birth to a little girl named Kylee Sue. During her episode, Cleondra was reluctant to move in with Mario, but it looks like times have changed!
Cleo and Mario still live in Horn Lake, Mississippi, but now the happy couple are shacking up together with their daughter. "Mario and I are happier than ever," Cleondra explains to The Ashley. "I'm so ready for him to propose to me!"
In the meantime, Cleondra can drool over the promise ring Mario gave her. "It's his promise to love me for eternity and to be there for me until he could make his real commitment by marriage," Cleondra says while we dreamy sigh.
Cleondra and her man sound like the cutest couple ever, but they hit a major bump in the road back in the fall of 2011. Both Cleo and Mario were arrested on August 28th due to a domestic dispute (yikes!), but now their relationship is back on track.
"us going to jail didnt effect kylee or us arguing," Cleondra explains on Facebook. " so none of that makes us bad parents. we are grest parents. we take care of our child, our bills, && all our responsibilities."
Cleondra and her man are both hard at work, and Cleo graduated high school as an honor roll student and now attends college.
"We are both still working and I'm still in school but I changed my major [from nursing] to photography," she explains. "Kylee is 14 months now and is just running around! She is such a happy baby."
Want to know even more about Cleondra and her family? Check out her "Where Are They Now?" episode on MTV, which is expected to air at the end of March!
In the meantime, head over to Cleondra's Facebook page — she posts updates and adorable pictures of Kylee all the time!

Uganda will chair the first ever East African Arts and culture festival slated to take place in Kigali, Rwanda in February.
The East African Community Secretariat based in Arusha, Tanzania chose Uganda as chair and Rwanda as host for the annual festival with hope to rotate it around the region.
The Six-day festival will see member states show-case their uniqueness through art and culture in the Rwandan capital from 11 to 17 of February, gender state minister Rukia Nakadama said.
Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and Uganda have confirmed attendance of the festival code named "Juiimiya ya Afrika Mashariki Utamaduni (JAMAFEST)".
The theme of the festival is: "Fostering East African Community Integration through Cultural Industries".
Arts and crafts pieces, cultural wears, music and dance, literary works, foods and beverages among fortes are to be showcased.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame will officially open the non-competitive festival with other regional leaders expected to grace the occasion.
Initially, each member state was to send 50 participants, however, as the D-day draws closer, participants have shown increasing enthusiasm, forcing the organisers to leave it open-ended.
The fete is organised by Uganda's ministry of Gender, Labour and Social (MGLSD) Development and East African Community Affairs (EACA) in conjunction with the Secretariat.
Uganda has selected a-141-man team to represent her in the festival. The team is comprised of 60 children and senior officials from ministries of MGSLD, EACA, Health and Education and Sports.
Others are from notable art and culture related institutions like the movie industry, Makerere University, Fountain publishers, Net Media Publications, Uganda Industrial Research Institute.
Sh410m has been put aside to facilitate the team.
State Minister for Gender and Culture Rukia Nakadama the festival will be a golden opportunity for Uganda to market her largely untapped tourism potential especially in arts and culture.
Uganda currently earns $800m from tourism without marketing the sector but experts believe the amount increase three-fold in a year with little marketing.
The Secretariat hopes to use the fiesta as a means to appreciate the diversity of East African Culture in a bid to interweave the region's people.

Before volcanoes erupt, they must "defrost". The magma beneath some of the world's most dangerous volcanoes might be relatively cool and solid for more than 99 per cent of the time. That means evidence that it has warmed up and melted could be a sign of an imminent eruption.
Deep beneath each volcano there is a vast magma chamber filled with bubbling, molten rock. Or, at least, so the thinking goes. Magma chambers sit in Earth's crust, which is relatively cold – between about 200°C and 400°C – so geologists have long wondered whether they are really hot or not.
To find out, Kari Cooper of the University of California, Davis, took samples from the lavas around Mount Hood, a potentially active volcano in Oregon that last erupted 220 years ago.
With Adam Kent of Oregon State University in Corvallis, she isolated crystals from the solidified lava. Using the radioactive decay of uranium in the crystals as a ticking "clock" that begins when the crystals form in the magma chamber revealed that they are at least 21,000 years old.
Telltale strontium
But when Cooper and Kent looked at the level of strontium within the crystals, they noticed something unusual. There was far more strontium in the cores of the crystals than near their margins. That is strange, because igneous rock begins to melt at around 750ºC. At this temperature, the strontium is mobile and diffuses throughout crystals within a few thousand years.
Since the strontium is not evenly mixed, the Mount Hood crystals can have spent no more than 2800 years above 750°C, and perhaps as little as 140 years. That is 13 per cent – or potentially even less than 1 per cent – of the 21,000 years since they formed.
Magma has to be in a mostly liquid state above 750ºC for a volcano to erupt, says Cooper. Yet the evidence from Mount Hood suggests that it is rarely in this hot state.
"If we do detect a mostly liquid magma body [under a volcano], the probability of an eruption would be higher," she says. "This process of 'defrosting' a magma body could happen before we get any other evidence that an eruption is imminent."
Melt that magma
"It's very elegant work," says Christian Huber of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. It also raises an obvious question: what triggers melting? There are a few ideas, says Huber, mostly built around the idea that an injection of magma from a greater depth heats up the chamber.
However, a study last year suggested that the magma chambers beneath some volcanoes remain molten for long periods, rather than melting just before they erupt (Geology, doi.org/rgf). That means looking for melting would only help predict some eruptions.
Not all volcanoes melt in this way, agrees Alain Burgisser of the University of Savoy in Chambéry, France. "But the ones that do happen to be the volcanoes that produce the most infrequent and most powerful eruptions."
"Alain's point is true," says Huber. "Defrosting applies in general to crystal-rich eruptions – Pinatubo in 1991 is a good example."
The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines was the 20th century's second largest eruption from a land-based volcano.

More Than A-Train and Brock Returned This Week
by, 04-05-2012 at 11:11 AM (7705 Views)
Hello, Everyone.
This is my first blog here, so please bear with my inexperience with how this is written.
July 16th, 2001 : This was the night that Stone Cold Steve Austin returned to save the WW(F) from the invading forces of the WCW and ECW. Besides the chaos in and out of the ring, this night also produced arguably the single, hottest live audience in wrestling history.
Fast Forward...
April 2nd, 2012 : This past Monday's Raw was the big follow-up to WrestleMania. This night marked the returns of both A-Train, and more incredibly, Brock Lesnar. Also, this night marked the return of a really hot and energetic audience. The WWE had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands nearly all night.
My Point ?
When the crowd is absolutely on fire, it makes me feel as energetic and excited as they are.
Example : When Brock Lesnar's music hit, the entire building exploded with cheers. Even though there was a long Lesnar chant during Cena's promo, and everyone seemed to know what was going to happen, the crowd still erupted. So, likewise, I too "marked-out," even though I had been following the story since early Sunday.
In my opinion, this was the true spirit of what professional wrestling was during the "Golden Age" in the eighties to mid-nineties, as well as the true spirit of the "Attitude Era" of the late-nineties to the turn of the millenium. In those days, you rarely got a dead crowd at a wrestling show. Also, people at home were just as excited as the audience in attendance.
However, as great as an energetic crowd is at making me feel compelled to watch, a dead crowd can just as easily make me want to change the channel, or worse yet, begin to make me regret a pay-per-view purchase.
Example : This past Sunday at WrestleMania, CM Punk and Chris Jericho put on a solid match. This was a match that I looked forward to more than any other on the card. However, for whatever reason, the crowd just wasn't that into it, and I, in turn, was not into the match either. Don't get me wrong... For those of you who didn't see, it was a good match from a technical standpoint, as well as told a great story. The crowd, though just didn't have any real interest until the end, and I didn't either.
Moments like the CM Punk/Chris Jericho match should not be happening. WWE proved that they can in fact create a generate an energetic crowd, yet they haven't done that on a consistent basis for far too long. WWE should take an honest look at their extensive library, and re-establish a winning strategy in controlling the crowd, so to speak. Doing this really shouldn't be as hard as they must think it is, either.
Just yesterday, I was watching the 2006 One Night Stand, and the Balls Mahoney/Masato Tanaka match stands out right now. In the match, Balls Mahoney proved that he knew something about the business that CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler and so many others seem to know nothing about : involving the crowd.
That match was not a highly-anticipated match. However, the crowd was into it. The reason, in my opinion, is because Balls had them involved. Of course, some may say that ECW crowds are always like that, which they are.
However, allow me to make a related point.
During the build-up between the Rock and Cena, many people (myself included), felt that Cena's promos were better. His promos were about their rivalry, and their big match. So yes, if they were having an actual debate, Cena would have definitely won. However, I would not say that Cena had the more entertaining promos. The Rock's promos were more entertaining. One of the main factors in this is that the Rock actually interacted with and involved the audience. Because the crowd was so into it, I enjoyed it much more than I did Cena.
The live audience also recently played a role in my opinion of the "End of an Era" match.
An Undertaker match at WrestleMania is as predictable as matches come in professional wrestling. Also, with this being the second year in a row, and third time all together that Undertaker and Triple H would square-off with one another, everyone was down on this match before either star made a return. However, during the match, the crowd was WAY into it. No one in the match directly interacted with the audience. Instead, all three men involved in the match told an absolutely amazing, dramatic story. To add to the feel, WWE even had J.R. do the commentary. Everything about this match just felt dramatic, and the audience bought it.
Final Thoughts : WWE has been having an awful blend of confidence and apathy in its product, and the crowds and ratings have proven that fact. The WWE can't just rely on a storyline to generate interest. They can't just have a wrestler give a cookie-cutter promo and work a cookie-cutter match. They can't just hope that the storyline itself will make people buy their pay-per-views.
They can't have a huge star return every week, because the shock and anticipation will wear off. What WWE needs is fan interaction. They need to write promos that get the crowd involved. They need to teach their guys to do more than just wrestle a match, but, to also tell a story. They need to keep generating these hot crowds. If the crowds are constantly and consistently as hot as they were this past Monday, then I can guarantee that ratings will climb. Merchandise sales will climb. Ticket sales will climb. Pay-Per-View buys will climb. The WWE will finally get the money that they want because the fans will be getting a product that they want.
Well, that is the end of my first blog. I hope you guys enjoy it, because I feel it is one of the most underrated aspects of what makes wrestling sell. Sorry if the length is too much, and feel free to comment.
Thank you all for reading

What he means is "if they are the only supplier".
I have an issue with Pirelli wanting to be the only supplier or taking their toys away. What's wrong with competition?
I have an issue with the current compounds. Given the amount of problems that the teams are having getting them to work consistently, I wonder what data Pirelli gave the teams, if any. And surely, they can do something about the marbles. After x number of laps, there is only one line. Surely that is bad for racing.

Presidential candidate and former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi (R) gestures to his supporters as he arrives with his bodyguards at a polling station to cast his vote during the presidential election in Cairo May 26, 2014. REUTERS/Amr Abdallah Dalsh
CAIRO: Former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is expected to emerge from a second and final day of voting on Tuesday as Egypt's next head of state, returning the presidency to a military man as hopes for democracy fade three years after Hosni Mubarak's downfall.
Seeking to boost turnout that appeared low on the first day of voting, the government declared Tuesday a holiday and extended voting by an hour so that polls would close at 10 p.m. (1900 GMT). The central bank also declared a bank holiday.
With victory for Sisi a foregone conclusion, the turnout is seen as crucial to shoring up the legitimacy of the field marshal who toppled Egypt's first freely elected head of state, the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammad Morsi last July.
The limited showing contrasted with parliamentary and presidential elections held after Mubarak's overthrow, when voter lines were measured in the hundreds and stretched far into the streets leading to the polling stations.
Sisi himself had called for a record turnout.
He enjoys backing from Egyptians worn down by three years of turmoil since Mubarak's downfall in 2011. While the Islamists demonise him as the mastermind of a coup, his backers see him as a hero for toppling Morsi after mass protests against his rule.
Polling stations were guarded by soldiers, some in black face masks, with plain clothes police also in evidence.
Sisi faces only one challenger: the leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, who came third in the 2012 election won by Morsi. Other candidates who contested the election won by Morsi did not run, saying the climate was not conducive to democracy following a crackdown on Islamist and other opposition groups.
The Brotherhood, which came first in both parliamentary and presidential polls held after Mubarak's downfall, has been driven underground in a campaign of repression that has killed hundreds of its followers and landed thousands more in prison.
In a move that has alienated many liberal Egyptians, secular dissidents have also been jailed, often for breaking a new protest law criticised as a threat to free assembly.
Sabahi's campaign described turnout on the first day as "moderate, and below moderate in some cases". In a statement, it said there had been many violations, including physical assaults on Sabahi representatives, and "intervention by police and army".
The Brotherhood had called for a boycott, while other Egyptians described the election as a waste of time.
Media run by the state and businessmen loyal to the army-backed authorities presented a different picture. "Egyptians make history," declared Al-Ahram, the state's flagship newspaper, showing a snaking line of men waiting to vote.
"Egyptians choose the president and declare the end of the Brotherhood," announced Al-Masry Al-Youm, an independent newspaper hostile to the Islamist movement that was toppled after mass protests against Mursi's rule last year.
On Monday, lines at 20 Cairo polling stations visited by Reuters consistently over the past three years appeared shorter than in previous elections. The interior minister said turnout was good.
As the polls opened at 9.00 a.m. (0600 GMT) on Tuesday, there was no line at one Cairo polling station. At two others, around a half dozen people were waiting in line, fewer then on Monday when the queues there had been measures in dozens.
Though young Egyptians - the generation that drove the 2011 uprising - were often hard to spot at polling stations on Monday, 19-year old Hamdy Abdelrahman was one of the first to cast his ballot on the second day of voting.
"This country needs a military man now - someone who understands everything including laws, someone who can control the country," Abdelrahman said.
Outside a polling station in the affluent area of Zamalek dentist Adnan al-Gindi, 54, waited in line to vote for Sisi.
"I am voting for Sisi because we need to get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood. He stood behind the people to overthrow this garbage (Brothers). He will improve security and the economy."
The majority of those waiting with him said they would vote Sisi, except for one.
"It is not right to have a military man as president after the revolution. Even though we know somehow he will be the president, we can't let him win with 99 percent," said Mohammed Khodr, 34, a film-maker.
In Imababa, an Islamist stronghold, a line of young women waited in the heat to cast their votes for Sisi.
"He is the head of the army, he is respected, he is not corrupt or a thief so am voting for Sisi," said Douaa Mohammad 34, mother of two.
Sisi, 59, faces serious challenges including an economy in crisis and a campaign of Islamist violence that has spiraled since he overthrew Morsi.
Several hundred members of the security forces have been killed in a campaign of violence by radical Islamists since last July. The last year has been the bloodiest period of internal strife in Egypt's modern history.
Human Rights Watch estimates the number of political dissidents and Islamists in detention at more than 20,000.
Western governments have raised concern about respect for freedoms.
The Brotherhood and its allies, which had declared it "the election of the presidency of blood", issued a statement saying their call for a boycott had been widely observed. The group has been declared a terrorist organisation by the state, which accuses it of turning to violence - a charge it denies.
Sisi won 95 percent of votes cast in advance by Egyptians abroad, but an opinion poll by the Washington-based Pew Research Center suggests a more mixed picture, with Sisi viewed favourably by 54 percent and unfavourably by 45 percent.
It is the second time Egyptians are electing a president in two years. And it is the seventh vote or referendum since 2011.
Once president, Sisi will have to meet the high expectations of those who have backed him enthusiastically in the hope that he can tackle poverty, unemployment and other social problems.
He will also be expected to address the corruption, cronyism and inequality between rich and poor that caused the 2011 revolution that overthrew Mubarak.
Since the army overthrew the king in 1952, Egypt has been ruled by a succession of military men - Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Mubarak. That pattern was briefly interrupted by Mursi's divisive year in office, during which important institutions of state resisted his authority.

While Facebook's Terms of Service have consistently barred businesses from engaging with their communities using a Profile (versus a Page), there has been very little movement from the platform in the way of policing those presences that disregard the terms until this year. Today however, I've seen what may be the first real step in its foray to weed out businesses that are engaging on the platform inappropriately.
Facebook is asking, "Is this your friend's real name?" Here's more on Facebook's Name Policy.
Some are concerned that this is an attempt to identify individuals who are using nicknames instead of legal names on the platform. While that may be true, I also see it as a prompt that will allow individual users to anonymously report Profiles that are run by businesses. Once a Profile is revealed or designated as fake (meaning it's not the Profile of a human being), it runs the risk of being closed and removed from Facebook's servers. That's all your work and connections … gone with the push of a button.
"Who might do such thing", you ask? Perhaps people who are tired of being spammed with too many Event Invitations and Private Messages; Pages don't have this capability for invasive activity. Possibly your competition who is playing by Facebook's rules and is tired of your flagrant disregard for the Terms of Service; a leveling of the playing field. Maybe a very upset customer; revenge served cold.
Regardless of who reports you, if you have a business engaging on Facebook through a Profile instead of a Page, it's high time you started doing things properly. Before you wake up on a random Tuesday and find your entire Facebook presence gone.
Ready to move from making Friends to seeing who Likes you? Download a copy of your Facebook data and roll your Facebook Profile over to a Page here. If you need help, I can provide it.

Poll: Are you part of the 90% of iPhone users on iOS 4?
Which version of iOS is running on your iPhone? According to the developer of Bump on Quora almost 90% of us are running a version of iOS 4 on their iPhones. The current iOS 4.2.1 alone accounts for almost 53% and iOS 4.1 almost 28% (I suspect up to half of that might just be Jailbreak, hmm?). iOS 3.1.3 is next with over 6% which just might be some hesitant iPhone 3G users...
(If you're curious TechCrunch contrasts these with Android numbers: 2.3 is 0.4%, 2.2 is almost 52%, 2.1 is just over 35%.)
Which version of iOS are you running? Vote in the poll above and let us know why you're on your chosen version -- developer, jailbreak, performance, etc. -- in the comments!

Poll: Are you part of the 90% of iPhone users on iOS 4?
4.2.1 Only cause i won't give up my Lock Info #teamjailbreak
Same for me. I can't stand tethered. Plus I fly a lot so I don't want to re-jailbreak my phone every time I power it down
Same here. I won't upgrade from 4.1 until there is an untethered jailbreak.
I am on iOS 4.2.1 for now until this coming thursday where i jump ship and go to sprint and the EVO 4G i am going to get me an ipod touch 64GB after i sell my iphone.
i have had an iphone since Iphone 3G i had the 3GS and now the iphone 4 other than the hardware tweaks to me the software has grown satale and boring. i am simply taking a break from the iOS scene other than my ipod touch i am planning to buy. if sprint gets the iphone i will be back cause i am sure it will be using wimax if they ever do get it.
iOS 4.2.1 stock. I'm happy with what I get from my phone. Don't really see the reason to jailbreak now. Will wait till 4.3 just to activate the hotspot and FaceTime over 3G. Everytime I jailbreak, something on my phone stops working.....
I am really digging 4.2 i finally caved and got my ipad even though the next one is coming
I have a hard time believing people who read an iPhone blog would still be using iOS 1.x. If so, however, that's pretty amazing.
I'm will most likely to stay on 4.1 until ios 5. Too many jailbreak apps break and its just a painful waiting process for the devs to update. My iPhone works great as is right now and I have no complaints.
I'm on 4.1 bc of the jailbreak and want upgrade until iOS5 comes out
4.1 Jail breakers Jail
I have a 3G. 4.0 got me folders and clipboard but apart from that i'd probably go back to 3.1.2 if i could be bothered.
Damn I miss be the only one on 4.0.2 & that is to prevent upgrading my 1.59.00 baseband on my iPhone 4. Thing is people said it was buggy but hell I have not experienced bugs & I never shut down apps in the background really without issues past 2 days I have about 30 apps in multitask dock
This post right here is the reason I call Rene a fanboy. I was surprised by how Android was inserted in this article.. low and behold .. I look at the author and IT"S NOT Rene.. .. If it was Rene .. the title would definitely be different .. it would probably be like TechCrunch's title on the matter.. which is really misleading
4.0.1... Don't wanna lose my JB+unlock and don't know how to not change my baseband upon iOS upgrade. #yesimalamer

Authors: Monshi, Mahmoud A.S.; Abdel-Salam, Naser M.

Abstract: The reaction of a Schiff base (formed by the condensation of S-benzyl dithiocarbazate with benzoin [HBBTC]) with some bivalent metal ions give mono-ligand complexes having general formula M [BBTC]X., nH20 where [M= C02+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, and Hg2+; X=Ac or Cl and n =0-2]. Elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility and spectral (Ir, Dv-vis and NMR) measurements have been used to characterize the complexes and suggest their structures. Ir data show that the ligand behaves as mononegative tridentate.

Authors: Soliman, M.S.A.; Badran, R.A.M.

Abstract: The effect of four mycotoxins on the chromosomal arrangement during mitotic cell division of Allium cepa was examined. Results indicate the presence of certain changes in mitotic stages index (M.S.I) as well as some chromosomal anomalies which reflect toxic activity due to the exposure of the tested bulbs to the four fungal species. F. equiseti gave the highest deviation of chromosomal index from the normal chromosome behaviour followed by F. solani, F. moniliforum and F. culmorum.

Authors: Abu-Tarbosh, F.M.

Abstract: Normal adult inbred C57 BL/6J mice were used to investigate the teratogenic and other possi-ble toxic effects of indomethacin on both dams and their foetuses. The dams have been treated with vari-ous doses of the drug once each day from day 7 to day 12 of pregnancy. The prenatal administration of the drug at 2, 3, 4 or 6 mg/kg body weight has significantly increased foetal mortality rate and decreased the mean number of live foetuses. The highest dose used (6 mg/kg body weight) has also significantly decreased the live foetal body weight. None of the doses used has induced any foetal malformations but the highest doses of the drug (4 and 6 mg/kg body weight) used were toxic on the dams.

I didn't want to hijack the wonderful History Buffs thread currently ongoing that's discussing some of the world's most important battles through history so I've created a new thread and figured this would be a good place to post any pictures of battlefields that RZ'ers have visited.
I went to Gettysburg back in May, 2005, and while I was only there for a few hours (it was a stop while passing on by), a few buddies and I were able to snap a few pictures that I figured a few people may enjoy. If anybody is ever passing through on the PA Turnpike and has any interest in war history or any history, Gettysburg is a place that I'd recommend stopping at.

Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock are just three of the more than 200 classes of vehicles featured in NHRA competition. Those classes are grouped into 15 categories, or eliminators, each governed by NHRA rule makers. Class eligibility is based on various requirements and specifications, including type of vehicle, engine size, vehicle weight, allowable modifications, and aerodynamics.
The four Professional categories are Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle. They, along with Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car, the three "Super" classes – Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street – and Pro Mod feature a single class of vehicle in heads-up competition. Comp, Super Stock, and Stock are made up of a variety of classes and use a handicap starting system to equalize competition. Top Dragster and Top Sportsman feature a single class of vehicle in bracket-style competition.
Funny Car
Similar to their Top Fuel counterparts but with a shorter wheelbase and a carbon-fiber body that loosely resembles a production-based automobile, Funny Cars, or "floppers," routinely run in the 4.0s and can exceed 315 mph.
Pro Stock
Often called "factory hot rods" because of their resemblance to production-based cars, Pro Stockers can run in the 6.4s at more than 210 mph. They can rev to more than 10,500 rpm and make in excess of 1,300 horsepower.
Pro Stock Motorcycle
These highly modified vehicles, which can run under 6.8 seconds at more than 195 mph, feature a purpose-built tube chassis and a lightweight, aerodynamically enhanced replica of original bodywork.
Top Alcohol Dragster
Top Alcohol Dragsters may look like Top Fuelers, but they have significant differences. They may use a supercharged methanol-burning engine or an injected nitromethane combination. They can run in the 5.1s at more than 280 mph.
Top Alcohol Funny Car
Similar in physical appearance to their nitro-burning Funny Car counterparts, Top Alcohol Funny Cars are restricted to the use of methanol fuel and have three-speed transmissions. They can run in the 5.4s at more than 265 mph.
No category in NHRA competition features more variety than Comp. Each of the 88 classes is assigned an index based on what a well-built car should run, and races are handicapped according to those indexes.
Super Stock
Super Stock vehicles may look like ordinary passenger vehicles, but they are highly modified race cars. Entries are classified using factory shipping weight and horsepower and compete on indexes. The breakout rule is enforced.
Stock cars are similar to Super Stockers, but rules regarding everything from engine modifications to body alterations are much stricter. Virtually any car is eligible to compete, and entries are classified using factory shipping weight and horsepower.
Super Comp
The quickest of the heads-up Super classes (8.90 index) is composed primarily of dragsters. Most cars are capable of running well under the index but use electronic aids to run close to the index without running quicker than it, or breaking out.
Super Gas
Super Gas entries, which run on a 9.90 index, are primarily full-bodied cars and street roadsters. No dragsters or altereds are permitted. As in Super Comp, competitors use electronic aids to run as close to the class standard without going under.
Super Street
Racers compete on a fixed 10.90 index. All vehicles must be full-bodied cars and weigh no less than 2,800 pounds except for six-cylinder cars (2,000) and four-cylinder and rotary-powered cars (1,200). Engine and chassis modifications are virtually unlimited.
Top Sportsman
Competitors in these full-bodied entries may choose their own dial for eliminations, generally from 6.00 to 7.99 seconds. Full Tree starts are used, and the breakout rule is enforced. Cars can run in the sixes at more than 200 mph.
Top Dragster
Competitors in these open-wheel entries may choose their own dial for eliminations, generally from 6.00 to 7.70 seconds. Full Tree starts are used, and the breakout rule is enforced. Cars can run in the sixes at more than 200 mph.

Fire Service Lends Support to Cambridgeshires Carers
|Published: 9th June 2011 09:40
THIS Carers Week (13-19), Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) is reaching out to local carers to remind them that help is available to keep them, and the people they care for, safe from fire.
Fire safety can easily become yet another worry on an ever-growing list for those with the extra responsibility of looking after an older relative, sick friend or disabled family member.
With over 520,000 carers in the East of England, there are many issues to consider - from the extra time it takes for people with difficulty moving to escape a house fire, to the risks of flammable care equipment such as oxygen cylinders.
This week, CFRS is reminding carers that they are not alone. Local carers can contact their local fire station, or the Home Fire Safety Check freephone number 0800 9179994 to hear what help and advice are available to help make their jobs that little bit easier.
Wendy Coleman, Risk Manager for CFRS responsible for vulnerable people in Cambridgeshire, said: "There is a range of assistance available for carers to help make sure that they and their loved ones are protected - be it simple safety advice over the phone or on our wesbite, to a FREE Home Fire Safety Check or helping them find the specialist equipment that they need.
"The simplest thing any carer can do to prevent fire in their home is make a few easy additions to their normal routine. Testing their loved one's smoke alarm weekly could help give them the vital extra seconds they need to escape in a fire, while simple steps such as closing doors at night and avoiding overloaded plug sockets will help reduce the risk in their home.
"A huge variety of specialist safety equipment is also available - smoke alarms that are connected to vibrating pad for people with a hearing impairment, easy-reach smoke alarm testers for those with limited movement and linked alarm systems are just a few options to help you feel safer."
Paul Matz, Carers Week Manager said: "It is important for carers to know there is support out there to help them care for their loved one.Protecting vulnerable people from fire hazards is an important part of looking after somebody. It's great to see Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service helping carers to get appropriate smoke detectors and advice for both them and their loved one.
If you take care of a loved one, CFRS' advice could help make your - and their - jobs easier should the worst happen:
- Make sure the person you care for is registered with your local fire and rescue service if they have sight, hearing, mobility problems, or if they use oxygen. This will mean a fire crew is made aware of your circumstances in the event of an emergency.
- If you have a text phone or minicom, you can contact the emergency services on 18000.
- Make sure that the person you care for knows what to do in the event of a fire.
- It's a good idea to practise an escape so that you and your loved ones feel confident enough to do it day or night.
Some simple everyday checks can help prevent a household fire:
- A working smoke alarm can give your loved ones the extra time they need to escape a house fire. Make testing the batteries of their alarms part of your weekly routine.
- If you can, close inside doors at night. This will help prevent a fire from spreading.
- If the person you care for uses oxygen cylinders, ensure the equipment is stored safety out of direct sunlight, is well ventilated and always dry and away from heat sources.
- Never have open flames, smoke or use electrical appliances - such as hairdryers - while using oxygen cylinders.
Specialist equipment is available:
- If you live with the person you care for, consider fitting an intercom which will allow you to alert someone else in the house in an emergency.
- If you or the person you care for has a hearing difficulty you can get specialist smoke alarms which use a strobe light and vibrating pads.
- Alternatively, consider linking the alarm system to your own - this will alert you to danger.
- A coloured sticker on the smoke alarm can help people with trouble seeing it to test it, or your local Fire Service might be able to provide a coloured cover.
- Placing a tactile indicator along your escape route can make it easier for those with sight difficulties to find the exit.
- Easy access smoke alarms are available for people who have trouble moving around, which can be tested from the wall rather than the ceiling. The Disabled Living Foundation can provide more information on these products.
For further information on fire safety, please contact your local fire station or book a FREE Home Fire Safety Check on 0800 917 9994 or visit www.direct.gov.uk/firekills or www.cambsfire.gov.uk

Where Fairy Tales Come to Life
One wall of the master bedroom is devoted to the framed paintings Jan makes for Joe each year, portraying their favorite experience from the year past. The couple loves to gather family and friends for dinner, so their latest home addition, two years ago, expanded the dining room (which can now seat 16) and upgraded the kitchen.
A loft above the living room serves as Jan's library. An entire section of it is devoted to Norway, another to the Arctic, yet another to books on coins, which Jan delved into for her latest book, Hedgie Blasts Off. "Small nuances make things real for me and for the reader," Jan says. "I try to include visual details in my drawings that readers may not even recognize or know about, but that nonetheless make them feel that they can walk right onto the page."
Ultimately, their home reflects Jan's ongoing explorations — of her world, of her past, of her art. "I tell both kids and adults to create the mental space for their art by listening to their muse, that quiet voice that points you in a certain direction, that says draw this, or write this, not that," Jan explains. "For me, it's the same as listening to my six-year-old self, who sits on my shoulder. The beauty of art is that it lets individuality flower — whatever you create is something only you could have made."
"Jan's business is to create," adds Joe. "She gets endless ideas from a place I call 'Jan-Land.'" If Jan's enchanting books and home are any indication, Jan-Land is a magical place indeed.
