Have you been searching the internet, looking to discover how do I fix a relationship problem with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Are you concern with conflicting advice and ideas about relationship problems? "Leave him!" "Think of yourself first!" "It's not worth saving anyway," they say. It's easy to start feeling like there is nothing you can do to make things better.
Well, The Magic of Making Up is here to tell you that there are things you should know about how to fix a relationship, even when it seems like your problems are too severe to fix. Save your marriage, get your ex back – discover how to be happy again! The Magic of Making Up will help you learn how to make the right decisions so that you can repair a relationship. Using some of the following simple techniques, along with revolutionary real world advice from someone who has "seen it all," you, too can turn your bad relationship into a good one.
Showing understanding is part of any relationship, but it is also something easily tossed aside when things start getting rocky. Over time, couples who forget to show each other understanding can drift apart, forget why they fell in love in the first place, and ultimately lose the will to keep the relationship alive. Magic of Making Up helps us take a step back, look at our partner and our relationship objectively and remember that even when we disagree it's important to figure out where they are coming from and acknowledge their valid feelings. Many people find that after simply saying "Yes, I understand why you're feeling that way," the problem simply vanishes! Often, all our partner really needs is for us to show we care about them.
Along with showing understanding, forgiveness is also a key element. Once we've identified the problems, talked them out, and come to a solution, the most important – and many times most difficult – thing to do is to authentically forgive our partner, no matter what their mistake. It can be all too easy to hold onto past problems and bring them out during future arguments just to score a few "points." The Magic of Making Up shows us how to really let go of these past hurts, and not to let them destroy our future. Forgiveness – like understanding – is an important concept that will go a long way towards saving a broken relationship. Visit http://www.magicofmakingup.com/ to learn exciting and effective new techniques for putting these and other key ideas into practice, and to learn how to fix a relationship no matter what your situation!

Course overview
With more fluid labour markets and career patterns, and governance models increasingly characterised by public–private partnerships and other cross-sectoral arrangements, the combined Master of Politics and Policy/Master of Business Administration provides a unique opportunity for you to acquire a broad range of knowledge and skills applicable in many sectors of the economy.
The Master of Politics and Policy/Master of Business Administration is a 16 credit point combined course which brings together two existing courses: the Master of Politics and Policy, which is a program tailored for employees in the public and community sectors; and the Master of Business Administration, which is designed for managers in the private, public and community sectors who wish to extend their knowledge and advance their career.
The course will provide you with a strong grounding in the development, implementation and analysis of public policy. Interrelationships between government, the private sector and community organisations, as well as between different levels of government (municipal, state, national and international) will also be studied. More broadly the course addresses the problems of governance within democratic political systems, at the same time aiming to impart knowledge and business skills in areas such as strategic management, finance, economics and marketing.

"Keeping Our Eye On" is a continuing online series highlighting young professionals (under 40) in Mississippi. If you would like to be featured in this series please contact Stephen McDill at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gordon "Sandy" Sanford, III
Sandy Sanford says he has always had an interest in solving problems. "When you're a lawyer a lot of time you're resolving disputes," he says. "In lobbying you have to be more involved in the company's goal and mission. You're really looking to help them with their whole business purpose."
Sanford says lobbyists can't be reactionary but have to stay ahead of issues that would impact their clients. One case involving the Mississippi 811 ("Call before you dig.") organization had him focusing on everything from construction law to how to make utilities safe for the public. "Somebody hits one gas line with a back hoe and you have a huge safety issue," Sanford says. "Most people would agree there's an inadequate enforcement of our excavation laws."
The Pascagoula native attended Ole Miss where he was president of the student body and a member of Sigma Nu. After a short stint in accounting, Sanford attended Mississippi College School of Law where he graduated first in his class and was chief editor of the law review.
Prior to working for Adams & Reese, Sanford was employed as a lobbyist with the Willoughby Law Group. He was also legal counsel to AT&T Mississippi for seven years.
Sanford believes up-and-coming attorneys will be successful when they invest their mind and heart into the client. "You have to go all in," he says. "You only have one shot at a good reputation and to be trustworthy and have integrity. It's just not worth it taking shortcuts in those departments."
Sanford has served as an adjunct professor at MC Law and is an active member of the Mississippi Bar Association and the Mississippi Corporate Counsel Association.
Sanford spends most of his leisure time coaching little league sports and spending time with his wife and four children.

Semi-Integrated Dishwasher with Flexible EasyRack™ Plus System
LDS5540WWCOLOR : Black Stainless Steel White
- EasyRack™ Plus
- 10-Year Limited Warranty on Inverter Direct Drive Motor
- LoDecibel™ Operation
- SmartDiagnosis™ System
$749.99Suggested Price
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 141 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RCM No Problems Very satisfied with the dishwasher. Extremely quiet. July 5, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Donna Features, poorly thought out. This dishwasher is a major disappointment. It's not easy to load (broken glasses), drying is not good, leaves a film on the door and utensils do not dry properly leaving a film on the items. The upper rack configuration is a joke, with it shape dishes do not sit flat or cannot fit in the space available. (Normal cups and glasses not oversized). Design on this unit is not functional at all. When unit finishes washing it does NOT have an indicator light showing dishes are done. Very disappointed with this unit. Having said that, the washer is very quite. June 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jake LDS5540/WW review I purchased this dishwasher at Low's a few months ago and have not encountered a single issue. I installed the unit myself with no problems. I followed the instruction guide. This dishwasher cleans my dishes and silverware very good using the recommended (Finish x12) cleaning product. I would recommend this dishwasher to a friend. April 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ready50 Cleans great wished we would've bought this one 2 years ago,simple and quiet dishwasher even for a guy, wife loves it cleans better then last 1 we had, plastics are dry stainless steel pots come out great now May 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by My little corner Very quiet, energy efficient, great features This dishwasher is great. I love the adjustable racks for loading. The problem is cleaning the filter. The instructions I received and the ones I am referred to online are not for my machine. My filter is totally different than pictured. But, I've solved that problem, so far, by using 1 cup of vinegar in a cup, placed in the bottom rack, instead of Jet Dry. That stopped the white residue on everything. Plus, I use 1/2 a tablet of detergent and I rinse the dishes before loading. So far, so good. It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem. April 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sterph1 Qualified No recommend (it's close) Really quiet and overall cleans pretty well but bit of a design flaw as to wine glasses. Watch the video on this website for loading and you'll see that she has to almost lay the glasses down on the top rack and they still roll a bit and clink. LG would gain points with owners by designing and issuing free an attachable stemware holder for the top shelf that sits taller & is sturdier. Till then (will not hold breath) it will be handwashing for our wine glasses. April 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dana Best dishwasher I've ever had. This dishwasher is great! Very quiet, easy to operate and does a fantastic job of cleaning. This is the first dishwasher I've had that did not have a heating element. I find that the fan does an ever better job of drying. This is the 4th appliance I've replaced in the last 2 years with LG products. I will continue this practice!! April 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrustratedDave Good Product, Bad Support My wife and I are very happy with our new LG dishwasher. It is quiet. It cleans the dishes well. Dishes are dry when finished (except for items that will hold water). And it looks good. Hopefully, it will be maintenance free forever - we have been using it for 1 month. However, I do have an issue with the manual and website. The manual clearly states that the filters need to be cleaned periodically in order to maintain peak performance. In fact, it suggests that the filter be cleaned after each use for optimum results. My issue is that the machine I bought does not have any filters, but the manual that came with it describes a step by step procedure complete with pictures, so I spent a lot of time reconciling the two. I went on-line to learn more, and found the same manual and the same directions - and this is searching by model and serial number. I called LG support and they led me to the same on-line page I found by myself. The tech rep thought that I should easily find the filters which were apparent on-line. I sent her a picture so that she could see what I was looking at. She said she would consult others and call me back, but she never did. In the meantime, I searched other machines on the LG site and found one that looked like mine, and decided that I got the wrong manual and that the website misdirected me to the wrong machine. The tech didn't know about the bad info and instead gave me the same misinformation. Otherwise, the website is difficult to use, e.g., registration. February 13, 2015
Thanks to LG's brilliant LoDecibel™ Operation, you can look forward to a dishwasher that's among the quietest in its class. The 48dB rating might not mean much to you, but to your ears it's pure nirvana. Since it has fewer moving parts, LG's exclusive Inverter DirectDrive motor ensures "tip-toe" quiet load after load…along with utmost operating efficiency. No surprise, our motor is backed with a limited 10-Year Warranty. And that's something to shout about!

Judge rules fired Rogers treasurer should get job back
Posted: April 29, 2014 at 12:02 p.m.
A federal judge has ruled fired Rogers Treasurer Jerry Hudlow should get his job back, along with more than $80,000 in attorney fees.
In his complaint, Hudlow, through attorney Stephen Lee Wood, argued Mayor Greg Hines and the Rogers City Council violated city ordinances and a state statute regarding firing an appointed employee.
Hines fired Hudlow on May 12, 2012. A federal jury awarded Hudlow $300,000 in November in his wrongful termination lawsuit.

Devils Lake gets a drain for overflowing water
July 20, 2012 in Grand Forks Herald
The 800-foot-structure, built between Stump Lake and a natural rise in the Tolna Coulee, is designed to prevent a catastrophic spill from the Devils Lake Basin to the Sheyenne River Valley. The unique design mimics the natural erosion that likely would occur in the coulee, while restricting downstream flows. Continue Reading

THE DETAILS: Over the summer, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act by an overwhelming majority; President Bush signed the law banning the sale of toys containing lead or any of six plastic-softening chemicals known as phthalates. The ban was supposed to go into effect by Feb. 10, 2009, but the agency implementing the ban—the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)—is allowing stores to stockpile phthalate-tainted toys up until the ban date. Stores can then sell them long after the ban date, until they run out. Phthalates are believed to be endocrine disruptors, and have been linked to reproductive and developmental problems and, studies indicate, an increased risk for asthma and allergies, birth defects, kidney and liver damage, obesity, and damaged sperm in men. The Natural Resources Defense Council has filed a lawsuit against the CPSC, claiming the agency isn't enforcing the Congress-backed ban.
The decision is an appropriate implementation of the law, says Julie Vallese, spokeswoman for CPSC. "The very specific language used on phthalates makes it allowable for those products to be sold after the date, but not manufactured after the date," she explains. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says the CPSC is not implementing the law with the intent of Congress, and is calling on the agency to make sure phthalate-containing toys are off shelves by Feb. 10, according to a statement from her office.
WHAT IT MEANS: Buyer beware. The state of California banned the chemicals for use in toys last year, but until all of these phthalate-containing toys are removed from shelves across the country, there's no way to completely avoid them. Wal-Mart, Toys"R"Us, and Babies"R"Us have announced that they won't sell children's products containing the chemicals as of January 1, 2009. But the toys are still on store shelves during this holiday season.
Follow these tips to avoid phthalates in toys and other products:
• Avoid vinyl. Stay away from toys and products made from PVC or vinyl; they can leach harmful phthalates. Some, but not all, vinyl products are marked with a "3" inside a triangle somewhere on the exterior. There's no requirement for manufacturers to list phthalates on the label, though, so avoid unmarked plastic. One phthalate-free alternative is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
• Call the toymaker. Call the manufacturer's customer service number and ask if their products contain phthalates. If they don't know, don't buy the product.
• Know where phthalates lurk. Phthalates aren't just in toys. They're used in many cosmetics, hairsprays, detergents, air fresheners, vinyl flooring and shower curtains, and many personal care products. They're often used to disperse scents, and can be disguised by a product's "parfum" or "fragrance" ingredient listing. Choose products and cleaners that are fragrance-free or contain pure essential oils, or make your own cleaners out of white vinegar and water. And hang a cotton or hemp shower curtain instead of a smelly vinyl one.
• Reheat wisely. When you heat or store food in plastic containers, phthalates can leach into your food. Glad Cling Wrap, Ziploc containers, and Tupperware bowls are phthalate-free. But to stay clear of other chemicals present in plastic, we recommend using glass or ceramic containers.

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross men's lacrosse program has announced the Crusaders' 2014 schedule. Holy Cross is scheduled to play 15 regular season games, including six contests at Holy Cross Field. The Crusaders will play two teams that qualified for the 2013 NCAA Tournament (Lehigh and Loyola).
For the seventh consecutive year Holy Cross will start the season with a game against St. John's. The meeting will take place at St. John's DaSilva Memorial Field on Feb. 15.
On Feb. 22, the Crusaders will play host to new Patriot League member Loyola (Md.). The Greyhounds are coming off a trip to the NCAA tournament in 2013 and are just two years removed from their 2012 national championship winning season.
Holy Cross will then play its next four games away from Worcester. The Crusaders travel to Harvard (Feb. 25), Navy (March 1), Richmond (March 4) and Army (March 8). Last season Holy Cross defeated Navy, 7-5, at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. The Crusaders matchup with Richmond will be their first in program history as the Spiders enter their first season at the Division I level.
Holy Cross returns home to face Bucknell (March 15) and Fairfield (March 22), before leaving Worcester for games at Hartford (March 25) and 2013 NCAA Tournament participant and Patriot League champion Lehigh (March 29).
On April 5, Holy Cross returns home to take on Patriot League opponent Lafayette (April 5) and Sacred Heart (April 8), while it then hits the road to play Colgate (April 12). The Crusaders will host new Patriot League addition Boston University (April 19). This is the Terriers' first season at the Division I level.
The Patriot League Tournament will now feature a six-team field with a pair of quarterfinal games played at the site of the higher-seeded team, with the sixth-seed visiting the third-seed and the fifth-seed at the fourth-seed. Those winners will then join the top two seeds in the weekend semifinal and championship rounds, played at the site of the highest overall seed in the tournament. The brackets will re-seed after the quarterfinal round. The quarterfinals will be on April 22 before semifinals on April 25 and the championship game on April 27.
The Crusaders will conclude their regular season with a game at Dartmouth (April 29).
Last year, the Crusaders posted their most wins since the 1988 season with a 7-8 record. The Crusaders' 131 goals scored were their most since netting 138 in 1994. Holy Cross went 2-4 in the Patriot League, marking the first time in program history that the Crusaders had won two Patriot League games. Holy Cross defeated Navy on March 17 for first time in school history and also defeated Lafayette on April 6. The Crusaders return 35 letterwinners and six starters.

London, UK (PRWEB) January 14, 2013
Mark Kane of InstantBusinessFunding.com has announced he will be holding a new series of webinars to mark the New Year. The webinars aim to cover the subject of business funding and how ordinary people can get access to it.
Many small to medium size businesses in the US mix both personal and business funding sources when they need finance and this can cause a number of problems. Of the estimated 26 million small businesses currently operating in the US around 92% of them use personal credit lines.
Among the problems that mixing personal and business credit can cause are:

A former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu, has questioned the constitutionality of the committee set up by the Chief Justice to investigate claims made by former deputy Minister of Communication Ms. Victoria Hammah, that Nana Oye Lithur influenced the outcome of the election petition.
Victoria Hammah inferred on a leaked audio conversation that the wife of the lead counsel for the first respondent in the disputed election petition, Mr. Tony Lithur, might have influenced the outcome of the Supreme Court decision.
The said audio recording, which received massive air play in the country, soon became the most topical issue which was extensively discussed in the media. She was, thereafter, relieved of her position as deputy Minister.
Many Ghanaians, including key members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), had challenged the government to probe the issues discussed by Victoria Hammah in the leaked recording, as a sign of its commitment to fighting corruption.
The Chief Justice, acting on a petition sent to her by the General Secretary of the NPP, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, set up a committee, headed by Dr. Justice Date-Bah, to investigate the matter, but Mr. Amidu holds the opinion that the exercise has no legal basis.
"My contention is that the Constitution does not entrust any disciplinary power over superior court justices to the Chief Justice or the Judicial Council, or to an appointments and disciplinary committee, or any other committee of the Judicial Council.
"The independence of the judiciary, and the individual justice in the performance of his judicial functions, are guaranteed in article 127 by the framers of the Constitution. The reason for those provisions is simple. Mahama v Soli [1976] 2 G. L. R 99, and those lines of case, showed how Chief Justices tried to interfere with superior court justices in the performance of their judicial functions," he said.
According to Mr. Amidu, reposing disciplinary authority at first instance in any Chief Justice over other superior court justices is to make superior court justices apprehensive of the Chief Justice's ability to intimidate such justices with threats of removal from office, and thereby, interfere with their judicial independence.

Willamette professor earns NSF grant to study plants and climate change
The National Science Foundation has awarded Willamette University Biology Professor Gary Tallman with a grant of $249,980 towards his ongoing research on plant cell division and growth in the face of global climate change.
The grant will allow six Willamette undergraduates to work collaboratively with Tallman on his research, and it will help him create an upper-level biology seminar on plant signal transduction.
Tallman also plans to develop a workshop for the Willamette Valley Biological Education Network, a network among Oregon colleges to improve undergraduate biology education, which will help science faculty develop ways to integrate their research and teaching.
The grant is through an NSF program supporting research that addresses questions about "life in transition," including how living organisms are responding and adapting to climate change.
Tallman's endeavor, entitled "Effects of Heat Stress on Hormonal Signaling in a Thermotolerant Equatorial Perennial Plant, Nicotiana glauca (Graham)," is the latest in a long line of similar research that he began long before Al Gore brought widespread public attention to the climate change crisis.
Tallman's project seeks to determine whether a 5- to 6-degree Celsius difference in temperature has undesirable effects on growth and cell division in plants. Tallman's research to date shows that auxin, a growth hormone located in plant cells, is incapable of activating growth if temperatures are too high.
"This study has implications for conservation management of native, heat-tolerant plants and the animals that may depend on them," according to NSF. "It may also find application in the development of strategies to genetically engineer heat-tolerant perennial crops and ornamentals."
Read more about Tallman's grant on the National Science Foundation website, or learn more about his research in a 2007 article.
Campus community learns about Cambodia at Center for Asian Studies event
A recent event hosted by the Willamette University Center for Asian Studies gave the campus community a firsthand account of genocide in Cambodia and one man's battle against corruption in the country's education system.
Sokchea Monn told of his childhood and his recent work as director of the Supplementary Teaching Education Program (STEP), one of the only Khmer-operated non-governmental organizations in Cambodia.
He was introduced by Mika Lim '11, a sociology major who had the opportunity to work with Monn during her time studying in Cambodia. This past
summer she interned with the Pari Project, located in Cambodia's capital, which consults with NGOs to help them improve their business models.
Lim observed the trials of a country still trying to recover from widespread genocide initiated in the early 1970s after the Vietnam War.
"I wanted to have Sokchea come to Willamette because I think it is key to hear about these issues from a Khmer person who has lived the experience of genocide and is now involved in the development of Cambodia," Lim says. "I also know that Sokchea is at a place in his life where he can publicly share his deeply personal and powerful story."

Archives office unveils congressional collections at Hatfield Library
Shanel Parette, circulation supervisor at the Hatfield Library, has curated a new exhibit showcasing Willamette's seven congressional collections -- four of which are connected to notable alumni public officials (Mark Hatfield, Bob Packwood, Bob Smith and Denny Smith). This is the first time in about 20 years that a new exhibit of this type has been orchestrated, and it is currently ready for all visitors to the library to see.
Additionally, two of the four paintings done by artist and alumna Marjory Horton '56 (which were part of the Class of 1956 gift) have been hung near the archives entrance. These large and colorful paintings depict student traditions such as glee and serenading. Alumni may remember them as they used to hang in the UC.
These additions are part of the archives department's many duties as a keeper of campus history. Local visitors are always encouraged.
Willamette alumna generates big city buzz
Pull shots at the Bistro today, own a booming coffee business in fast-paced, coffee-crazed Seattle tomorrow. So goes the story of Willamette alumna Dani Cone '98, a business economics graduate who was recently named one of the Puget Sound Business Journal's 40 Under 40.
Each year beginning in April, the journal begins a search for the 40 most successful young entrepreneurs in the Puget Sound area who demonstrate excellent leadership and management skills, as well as practice community outreach. This year, out of more than 500 nominations and 232 applicants, Cone was selected after a five-month-long process.
Cone, now 33, worked at the student-run Bistro on campus when she was an undergraduate. Today she is living up to the enterprising reputation of the Willamette community as she lights up the Seattle coffee scene with her businesses: Fuel Coffee, with shops spread across Seattle, and High 5 Pie, a wholesale bakery.
Her businesses, the first of which kicked off in 2004, now roll in more than $1 million annually, according to the Business Journal.
When she isn't managing her enterprises or pouring joe, Cone is an advocate and sponsor for breast cancer research, an author (try: Tall, Skinny, Bitter: Notes from the Center of Coffee Culture), and, in the Willamette spirit, fond of being engaged in her community.
"One of my favorite parts is truly being a part of a neighborhood. I think [that] involvement and being around people has always been paramount on my mind," she says. "In general, I've always really loved business, I love being a barista and I love making coffee."
Cone was honored on Sept. 22 at the Showbox SoDo in Seattle.
Willamette theatre alumna earns prestigious national fellowship
Shana Cooper '99 was recently named a Princess Grace Theater Fellow, a national award that will allow her to build on her foundations with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and define herself in the artistic community.
The fellowship, distributed by the Princess Grace Foundation-USA, is awarded each year to continue the legacy of Grace Kelly, who anonymously assisted emerging young artists.
Winners from 18 states and 11 organizations were recognized this year in the fields of theater, dance, choreography and film. Students are eligible for scholarships, and artists working in their careers may receive fellowships or apprenticeships.
Cooper earned a theatre degree at Willamette and an MFA in directing from Yale School of Drama. She was associate artistic director of the California Shakespeare Theater from 2000 to 2004, and she co-founded New Theater House with Yale School of Drama alumni in 2008.
She was named an Oregon Shakespeare Festival Killian Fellow in 2009, and during the 2011 season, she will direct "Love's Labour's Lost" on the Elizabethan Stage, the festival's largest stage. In past seasons, she was the assistant director for the OSF productions of "Macbeth" and "Equivocation," and she produced the "Twelfth Night" parking lot project.
"From an early age, watching plays at the OSF instilled in me the importance of performance as a vital artistic form able to bridge social divides and access our common humanity," says Cooper, who grew up in Ashland, Ore., site of the festival. "The Princess Grace Foundation will support my bringing these life-changing stories to audiences in my hometown and throughout the country."

An Open Letter to President Obama
Dear Mr. President,
Although we were separated by more than a decade, we lived a few steps apart in Hyde Park and were both professors at the University of Chicago. There I established the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and was also president of the Adlai Stevenson Institute of International Affairs. Before going to Chicago, during the Kennedy administration I was the member of the Policy Planning Council responsible for the Middle East and Central Asia. A Democrat, I was an early supporter of yours. So I hope you will accept the following analysis and proposals as being from a friend as well as a person with considerable experience on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In recent events I see an opportunity to accomplish American objectives while avoiding a course of action that could derail plans for your presidency, just as the Vietnam War ruined the presidency of Lyndon Johnson.
According to press accounts, you are being told that America can win the war against the Taliban by employing overwhelming military power. Just like President Johnson's generals, yours keep asking for more troops. You are also being told that we can multiply our power with counterinsurgency tactics. Having made a detailed study (laid out in my book Violent Politics) of a dozen insurgencies, ranging from the American Revolution to Afghanistan, and fought by the British, French, Germans and Russians in America, Europe, Africa and Asia, I doubt that you are being well advised. When I was in government, we were told we could achieve victory in Vietnam by the same combination of force and counterinsurgency recommended by your advisers in Afghanistan. But as the editors of the Pentagon Papers concluded, the "attempt to translate the newly articulated theory of counter-insurgency into operational reality.... [through] a mixture of military, social, psychological, economic and political measures.... [were] marked by consistency in results as well as in techniques: all failed dismally."
What actually brought all the insurgencies, including the one in Vietnam, to a halt was the withdrawal of the foreigners. Some foreigners left in defeat, but others left in ways that achieved their most important objectives. I believe you have an opportunity to achieve America's important objectives in Afghanistan.
In Vietnam we never understood the Vietnamese and were defeated; so here I lay out the essential features of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir and then show how they set the context for a successful policy. I begin with Pakistan.
Pakistan has long been obsessed with Kashmir, frightened of India and favorably inclined toward its Pashtun ethnic minority. To help Pashtun "freedom fighters" in the 1979-89 war against the Soviet Union, we funneled billions of dollars into Pakistan. Opposition to the Soviet Union was our motivation, but Pakistan had a different motivation: to protect Islam. This necessarily involved it not only in Afghanistan but also in Kashmir. Since Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, is about as close to the Indian-held capital of Kashmir, Srinagar, and to the Khyber Pass, which leads into Afghanistan, as New York is to Hartford, both Afghanistan and Kashmir appear to the Pakistanis to be nearly domestic issues.
Kashmir is one of those legacies of the age of imperialism that still blight international relations. Today's problem was created in 1846, when the British sold Kashmir and its Muslim population to a Hindu who became its maharaja. Cruel and rapacious, he and his descendants were bitterly hated by Kashmiris. When the British were leaving South Asia in 1947, they assumed that because the people were mainly Muslim, Kashmir would be folded into what became Pakistan. But the maharaja opted for India. Despite a promise from Jawaharlal Nehru, then prime minister-designate of India, to Lord Louis Mountbatten, then viceroy of India, that a plebiscite would be held to ascertain the wishes of the Kashmiris, it has never been held. Ever since, the Indians have occupied Kashmir with half a million troops as a conquered enemy country. Under Indian rule, thousands of Kashmiris have been imprisoned, hundreds "disappeared" and almost everyone afflicted by lesser tyrannies. In shorthand terms, Kashmir is the Palestine of Central/South Asia. Pakistan and India have fought three wars and innumerable bloody engagements over Kashmir. The drain on the resources of both India and Pakistan has been immense. In part because of the destabilizing effects of this conflict, Pakistan has never developed a durable, coherent government. The only really solid Pakistani organization is the army. Civilian governments have been marked by massive corruption, ineptitude and fragility.
There are many reasons for Pakistan's problems, but one stands out: it is an amalgam of ethnic/cultural nations. The British ruled the Punjab and Sind directly, but sought merely to divide and weaken the Pashtuns. That was the purpose of the Durand Line, which they drew in 1893 along the mountainous frontier. The effect of the line is that today about 25 million Pashtuns live in Pakistan and roughly 14 million live in Afghanistan. The Pashtuns wanted to form an independent nation-state in 1947 but were prevented from doing so. Until its recent military campaign against the Taliban in Swat, the Pakistanis made little attempt to integrate the Pashtuns, but because of them Pakistan has always been deeply affected by Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has always baffled foreign invaders. After three attempts from 1842 to 1919 to rule it, the British gave up; at the end of a decade of costly war, the Russians did as well. Neither understood the complex social and political makeup of the country. Without doing so, we cannot hope to accomplish our objectives, so let me highlight the main points.
When I first went to Afghanistan, in 1962, to prepare a US National Policy Paper, I found a good analogy for the land and the society to be a rocky hill sliced by gullies and covered by 20,000 Ping-Pong balls. The balls represented the autonomous village-states. Politically and economically divided, they shared a common adherence to a blend of primitive Islam and even more primitive tribal custom (varying throughout the country but known in the south as Pashtunwali). During their occupation, the Russians crushed many Ping-Pong balls, but they could not defeat enough of them to win. At any given time, roughly 80 percent of the country remained outside Russian control; so the Russians won all the battles but lost the war. Afghanistan became the graveyard of the Soviet Union.
The brutal Soviet occupation shattered the Afghan social structure. Nearly one in ten Afghans was killed or died, and more than 5 million fled the country. Living wretchedly in refugee camps, mainly in Pakistan, hundreds of thousands of young Afghan men were "reshaped." Like the biblical Children of Israel after forty years in the wilderness, these Afghans emerged very different from their fathers. The new generation kept their stern code of belief, but they lost touch with the humanizing aspects of growing up in families. Living apart from mothers and sisters, many of the young men, mostly Pashtuns, were incorporated into male-only madrassas in which they were housed, fed, armed and radicalized. They emerged as the foot soldiers of the Taliban.
When they were in power, the Taliban enforced an ugly, repressive regime, but it was no worse than some other regimes in Asia and Africa. And, as we can observe, societies and regimes evolve. Look at what has happened in postwar Vietnam. No one in my time in government could have guessed that the Communist regime would evolve into a relatively open and indeed capitalistic society. In Afghanistan there are signs, still faint to be sure, that while the stern code remains intact, at least the Taliban leadership is beginning to modify its program. As I will point out, we can encourage this trend.
But as insurgents, the Taliban remain formidable foes. Our chances of defeating them are poor. Indeed, some independent observers believe they are becoming more popular while we are becoming less popular. They, and many non-Taliban Afghans, regard us, as they regarded the Russians, as foreign, anti-Muslim invaders. Moreover, they see that the government we are backing is corrupt and rapacious. Observers report that it is deeply involved in the drug trade, stealing aid money and even selling US-supplied arms to the Taliban (as the South Vietnamese government did to the Vietcong). Moreover, it is ineffective: its writ hardly runs outside Kabul. Most of the country is in the hands of brutal, predatory warlords. The Karzai government will not last long after our withdrawal--that was the fate of the Soviet puppet government there and of our puppet government in Saigon. Forced to choose between the warlords and the Taliban, Afghans are likely to choose the Taliban. As Gen. Stanley McChrystal has said, "Key groups have become nostalgic for the security and justice Taliban rule provided." Thus, we are courting long-term strategic defeat.
Even in the tactical short run, I believe, trying to defeat the Taliban is not in America's interest. The harder we try, the more likely terrorism will be to increase and spread. As the history of every insurgency demonstrates, the more foreign boots there are on the ground and the harder the foreigners fight, the more hatred they engender. Substituting drone attacks for ground combat is no solution. Having been bombed from the air, I can attest that it is more infuriating than a ground attack.
Our principal objection to the Taliban is that it has given Osama bin Laden and his immediate entourage a base of operations. The two groups, however, are very different: the Taliban are a national political organization, anchored in Afghanistan's largest ethnic group, while Al Qaeda is a loose alliance of dissidents from many countries, united only by their belief that their legitimate aims of ethnic/national self-determination and religious culture are being denied.
For us, the overlap of the two groups comes when we try to get the Taliban to surrender Osama. We have offered what to poor tribesmen is an astronomical reward for him "dead or alive." This ploy has failed. In the Afghan code of Pashtunwali, to fail to protect someone who has been given sanctuary (melmastia) is a mortal sin, so our attempts to get the Pashtuns to do this insults their sense of honor.

For awhile, many had thought the iPod touch had dealt blow to the Zune that Microsoft didn't have an answer for: the 2008 Zune update was just a mild refresh, and even the software team was mostly quiet for the next year. The Zune HD, then, is Microsoft's return salvo. It promises not only to put the Zune level in terms of features like multi-touch input and Internet access but to have features Apple lacks, such as 720p support, HD Radio and an OLED screen. We plan to discover just whether or not Microsoft's return to form is enough to quiet Apple's guns in our complete review.
Garmin said on Thursday that it has teamed with wireless provider AT&T to provide the mobile data connection for its upcoming nuvi 1690 GPS mapper. The cellular access gives the nuLink feature integrated into the nuvi 1690 a connection to Google Local searches as well as updated local information that includes traffic, weather, fuel price, movie listing, flight status, local event and white page listings. Users can also connect with other Garmin users thanks to Garmin's Ciao social networking system.

Nokia Siemens on Thursday announced that it has made the first voice call on a 4G LTE network. Although the technology has been previously tested, the latest demonstration was performed on a commercial base station while using standards-compliant software. The call was placed at Nokia Siemens research and development facility in Ulm, Germany, using the company's Flexi Multiradio Base Station.
Palm today reported a turnaround in its results for its just-ended summer quarter. Compared to the spring, the company's smartphone shipments surged 134 percent and topped 823,000 devices, nearly all of which were successfully sold. The number is a 30 percent drop from summer a year earlier but is believed to have stemmed much of the rapid decline in the company's influence.
Gyration has recently introduced its Air Mouse Elite wireless mouse that, like the original Movea Air Mouse unveiled nearly one year ago, can be used for navigation a pointer without the need for a flat surface. Similar in operation to the Nintendo Wii MotionPlus, there is a gyroscope built into the mouse that measures the angle and speed of movement.
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has made a deal with AT&T to sell the carrier several licenses for wireless spectrum in the Pacific Northwest, according to Bloomberg. The deal was exposed in government documents, although the agreed price has not been disclosed by either party.
Sony Ericsson's first Android-powered handset will be released in January, according to unofficial sources. The device is expected to launch just a season after the XPERIA X2 and should receive the XPERIA X3 badge despite running the Google platform. Both the X1 and X2 have run Windows Mobile.
Lenovo recently released its latest all-in-one nettop, the IdeaCentre C100. It sports an 18.5-inch, 16:9 aspect ratio screen with a 1600x900 resolution but measures just 2 inches thick. The system can be equipped with either a single- or dual-core 1.6GHz Atom.
T-Mobile has dropped the price of its G1 smartphone down to $130 with a two year agreement. Although the recent price cut is only $20 below the previous $150 promotion, it could be an indication that T-Mobile is clearing out inventory ahead of its Motorola Cliq launch.
Microsoft plans to make social networking a major component of Windows Mobile 7, the company revealed today through a new job listing. The post demands a Senior Program Manager for a "Mobile Social Platform" that, in Microsoft's early view, would show multiple social networks' news feeds in a single location. Alternately, it might hook data from those networks into other apps: an incoming call could show status updates from the contact.
Microsoft has launched a new educational discount for Windows 7, aimed at college and university students. Eligible buyers can now order a copy of either Home Premium or Professional for just $30; the discount runs until January 3rd at 12AM CST.

Pioneer will soon release two new digital turntables that do not require a PC, including the CDJ-2000 and the CDJ-900. The former sports a 6.1-inch, 480x234 LCD that displays waveforms, album art, and song info. Below the screen is a Needle Pad touschstrip that lets DJs drag directly to the part of the song they wish. An SD memory card and USB port lets users play music without the need for a connected PC. The CDJ-900 makes do with a dot matrix display instead of an LCD screen, an SD memory card reader or an optical disc drive.
Apple has won every category it participated in as part of a new study of service and reliablity. The reader-driven PCMag rankings saw it lead the cellphone, desktop, notebook and portable media categories, in some cases with particularly wide margins compared to rivals. Apple's best success was in the notebook category, where MacBooks earned an overall score of 9.2 out of 10 and a very high 9.4 out of 10 "would recommend" score.
Sprint and AT&T revealed signs of tension between carriers this morning over cellphone exclusivity in back-to-back presentations at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference. Speaking at the New York City event, Sprint chief Dan Hesse said it would be a "fair question" for the US government to challenge the length of exclusive phone deals and implied that he might agree to shortened periods of sole access to a given model.
Audiovox has partnered up with FLO TV to bring the latter's live mobile TV service to cars, the two companies announced on Thursday. FLO TV (formerly MedaiFLO) was offered to mobile phone subscribers, and the new service, called FLO TV Auto Entertainment, will be offered before the end of 2009 through 12,000 new car dealers. Audiovox will supply the hardware to enable this, including a small antenna that is no bigger than a human hand.
Epson on Thursday announced it will soon add to its home entertainment projector lineup with the MovieMate 60 and PowerLite Home Cinema 705HD. The 3LCD MovieMate 60 is being billed as the lightest and brightest in Epson's all-in-one projector offerings, with 2,000 lumens of brightness. There is also a built-in CD and DVD player, along with a microphone input and stereo speakers. Connections include common standard definition ports as well as HDMI.
Magellan gave its navigation units a new crowning model today in the RoadMate 1700. The GPS mapping device is one of the largest in the US and has a 7-inch, 800x480 display that's both easier to read from a distance and which provides more information onscreen. A video input jack helps exploit the extra size as an external display for a portable media player.
Toshiba on Thursday began shipping a new version of the dynadock U as its first wireless docking station for notebooks. The device uses an ultra wideband link to connect as many as six USB devices at once but also has enough bandwidth for Ethernet, wireless audio and video: it can put out up to a 1920x1200 image on a secondary DVI or VGA display and 7.1-channel audio through speakers attached to the dock. Sound also works in both directions and will let webcams send audio over the wireless link.
LG on Thursday announced the release of its WIDEBOOK family of notebooks, made up of the R380, R460, R480, R560, and R580. All have a 16:9 HD LED-backlit display and a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs. The R380 has a 13.3-inch display with a 1366x768 resolution, the R460 and R480 have 14-inch displays with the same resolution, while the R560 and R580 use 15.6-inch LCDs with 1366x768 panels or an optional 1600x900 display.
Windows Mobile may have been dealt a blow through a quiet shutdown of i-mate, an investigation has found. The company is said to have abruptly closed its offices one week ago and cut off communication with the media and resellers other than unverified statements that the company has stopped running. Its website is still active, but the company reportedly didn't launch a promised updated phone line in August and hasn't done more this year than release the ruggedized 810F.
MSI this morning took the X-Slim line into AMD's territory by officially launching the X410. The crossover, 14-inch ultraportable uses the lower end of AMD's Congo ultrathin platform and uses both an Athlon Neo processor and the newer chipset to reportedly get twice as much battery life as a regular 14-inch notebook, although MSI is silent on actual numbers. The system uses the older Radeon X1250 for integrated graphics but claims its power is enough to decode 1080i video smoothly.
Music royalty groups ASCAP and BMI are pressing online music stores like Apple's iTunes to pay performance fees not only for actual song downloads but also videos and even the 30-second samples used to preview the music in advance. While these stores already pay the distribution fees for the songs themselves, ASCAP, BMI and labels claim that just downloading and playing the content also counts as a live performance and should bring an extra fee.
Samsung today pledged itself to Windows Mobile with both a major software update and a new phone. All of its current Windows Mobile devices, including the Omnia II I8000, Omnia Lite B7300, Omnia Pro B7610, and Omnia Pro B7320, will be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5 for free. The update availability will vary by the carrier but at the earliest should be available sometime after the official debut of the new OS on October 6th.
Pentax tonight aggressively tackled the starter DSLR field with an overhaul for its least expensive K series camera. Now using the Japanese naming scheme, the K-x becomes the least expensive DSLR ever to shoot video and records 720p at 24 frames per second. Compared to the K2000 it replaces, it also gets a much improved 12-megapixel CMOS sensor (up from a 10-megapixel CCD) that takes in more light and has a dramatically larger ISO range that normally sits between 200 and 6,400 but can extend to 100 and 12,800 with an override.
HP has introduced several new wireless-connected standalone displays, the DreamScreen 100 and DreamScreen 130. Both products are similar to digital photo frames, but with additional connectivity to services such as Snapfish, Facebook and Pandora. The interface is also capable of presenting weather forecasts, calendar information and a digital or analog clock.

My 2 cents.
Unless you plan on getting off pavement frequently, my advice would be to look at the F650GS. Still plenty of power, a little lower, and with the smaller front tire, easier to maneuver. It's an awesome street bike, and capable of taking on fire roads.
By all means ride both before you decide. The snatchy throttle on the 800 takes quite a bit of getting used to, even for someone who has been riding for awhile. You can't go wrong with either bike, but I'd start with the F650 as the default choice.
Like I said. Free advice is worth just that.

If you love it.....
I am a noob rider compared to the adventurers on this site so please take my advice for what it is worth. I ride probably 70% on road and 30% off road with my '09 800GS. I love it. It is super fun in the winding twisty roads, plenty of power to haul my fat ass around, and does more than I will probably ever be able to handle off road. My inseam is 30" and I had the bike seat switched for a lower option from the dealer. The seat is made the bike manageable for me and I can have both feet pretty solidly on the ground at a stop. It is still a little tall when doing offroad but I haven't had any incidents. I have dropped the bike a couple times but both were either at stand still or very slow speed. It had to do with gravel where I was putting my foot down (I live in Colorado and there is sand/gravel on the roads all the time). Both times my hard bags (Hepco and Becker Gobi) kept the bike from messing up anything requiring money or time to fix. I highly suggest these bags as they have been proven (in my world) to be pretty bombproof and easy to handle.
Here is the biggest 4 pieces of advice I can give as a non-beastly adventurer..........
1) TAKE THE CLASS. There is no substitute for learning to ride (again) than a structured class in the care of professional teachers on other people's bikes. As much as there is daring and sometimes outlandish things on this forum, I think most would agree that you are ultimately responsible for your own safety which includes your bike handling skills and wearing the proper equipment even if it doesn't look as cool as some of the other MC riders out there.
2) The biggest thing I had to get used to with the 800 GS was the twitchy throttle. At low speeds it can really throw you off balance and if you are attempting single track offroad or something that requires precision, the throttle can take some getting used to. There are those that say switching to a 17 tooth gear in the front will reduce the twitchiness and lower your RPM's at highway speeds. I don't know but I have been considering it.
3) It is easy to get sucked into these forums and ADV is absolutely the most fun and easy to get sucked in to. There are many people on here with a myriad of opinions on how to set up your bike, what the best things to do on your bike are, and how you should behave in order to become a beastly adventurer. Take all of it with a grain of salt and integrate what works for you. There is a ton of great information here on bikes, rides, great people, and tech advice. But, ultimately, you are the one who is going riding and you have to find what works best for you.
4) Your bike should give you a boner. I have had the bike for almost two years and still open the door to the garage to look at it from time to time. I love the way it looks, rides, and just the sheer enjoyment of riding a quality machine. I was at the dealership today picking up the bike from a couple of recalls I had done. I was looking at all the new bikes and color schemes (love the 30th ann. color scheme too :) but was excited about going out and getting on my bike. In the end, you are the one that has to find the bike that gives you a boner. The 800 is a great choice but you may find you like something else too. Ride them, compare them, and enjoy them.

I dont know if my bike is a he or a she but it sure as hell gives me a boner.
Not strange though since it is the really quick 30th ann. boner alert version..

Plan The Proposal And The Wedding On The Same Day? This Groom Did!
While the average engagement is about 14 months, this groom knew his girlfriend wouldn't want to wait that long, so he planned an engagement that lasted only a few hours. The first surprise happened on the morning of June 7th when Ryan Leak popped the question, "Will you marry me, today?" to his girlfriend Amanda Roman while they were in Miami– he was completely serious.
Ryan's second surprise was that he'd been secretly planning an entire wedding based on the 224 photos she'd pinned to her "My dream wedding" Pinterest board and he had already invited her family and friends to be there too. The video outlines the whole story of how it all went down, but if you want to skip to the wedding start at the 22 minute mark.
It was definitely a sweet gesture for Ryan to plan a surprise like that, but there's something to be said about being able to enjoy the engagement period and the wedding planning process, whether it's picking out a gown with your mom, taking an epic trip with your girlfriends for your bachelorette, or just letting the proposal sink in. It's not news that brides are using Pinterest to plan their ideal wedding before getting engaged, but that doesn't mean that's what they'll decide on they want when it comes to actual planning. What do you think about ditching the engagement altogether and going straight to the wedding?
Want more? Right here!

I want to be able to get texture templates for several Genesis items that were released with no link to a template.
Then I find that there is no underlying obj file but these dsf files only. All of the methods that I have for making templates require obj files or something that can be converted to an obj file.
If I can't create my own textures, items are useless to me.
So how can we extract templates from dsf files?

BRISTOL — The Bristol Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities on Tuesday announced the grand prize for this year's Sharky 500 rubber shark race coming up Oct. 1 at Bristol Motor Speedway will be the track's Irwin Tools 500 pace car, a 2011 Mustang GT donated by area Ford dealers and valued at more than $30,000.
For a chance to win the Mustang, $5,000 worth of furniture from Grand Home Furnishing, four American Airline tickets to anywhere in the continental United States, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada, BMS race ticket packages and a half-dozen other prizes donated for the event, sharks are $10 each. The sharks are on sale at the BMS ticket office, Grand Home Furnishing and Pizza Plus locations across the Tri-Cities and online at bristolmotorspeedway.com.
SCC Director Claudia Byrd said the rubber shark race along Beaver Creek in the BMS hospitality area has become one of the largest fundraisers of the year for SCC, second only to the annual holiday light show at BMS. Last year, the event's guests and sponsors helped SCC raise nearly $625,000.
The money was awarded to 79 nonprofit youth service organizations across the Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia region and brought the total raised and donated by SCC to more than $6 million.
Byrd said applications for this year's SCC grant awards are already in and show just how dramatically local nonprofit agencies have been hit by the decreases in government funding and an overall decline in charitable giving that have occurred since the onset of the 2008 recession.
"Things have been cut back so much, we really need support," Byrd said. "It's a great day and an amazing way for us to raise money for kids."
This year's shark race once again will be held in conjunction with a free Kid's Expo featuring a variety of fun attractions, games and exhibits for children. Byrd said all of the items for the expo have been donated so that every $10 rubber shark purchase will go entirely to local children's services.
Wes Ramey with BMS said this year's Sharky will be followed by a full day of racing at the track, beginning with an afternoon sprint car race at the oval track, and the season's final "Street Fights" street car at the dragway.
For more information about the shark race, call SCC at 989-6974.

ACTIVE TIME: 15 min
TOTAL TIME: 45 min
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in upper third.
Cut broccoli florets into 1-inch pieces, then peel large stems with a knife and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Cook broccoli in boiling salted water (2 tablespoon salt for 6 qt water) 5 minutes, then drain.
Meanwhile, whisk together milk, cream, cheese, eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Put broccoli in a 2-quart shallow flameproof baking dish, then pour milk mixture over top. Toss bread crumbs with oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper, then sprinkle evenly over gratin.
Bake until custard is set, about 30 minutes. Turn on broiler, then broil until bread crumbs are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
