CATHOLIC Priest Father Viateur Banyangandora is willing to come back to serve the Zambian people after his deportation to Rwanda was revoked, Chipata Catholic Diocese Auxiliary Bishop Benjamin Phiri has said.
Meanwhile, Bishop Banda has commended the Government for reversing the deportation of Fr Banyangandora, who was based in Lundazi.
He was speaking when newly-appointed Eastern Province Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Mwamba paid a courtesy call on him yesterday at his residence.
Bishop Phiri indicated that the priest was willing to come back to serve the people in Chipata Catholic Diocese.
Bishop Phiri said although Fr Banyangandora had during his time of deportation been holding a Rwandan passport, he was part of the community of Zambia.
He also revealed that the Rwandan authorities were reluctant to give Fr Banyangadora a new passport because the Zambia Government had not confirmed in writing that the deportation order was reversed.
He said once the paper work was done by the Zambian Government, the Rwandan authorities would be willing to issue a fresh passport to Fr Banyangandora to facilitate his return to Zambia.
"The Zambian Government has to do paper work to confirm that truly the deportation order was reversed to facilitate the issuance of new passport to Fr Banyangandora," Bishop Phiri said.
He said the Church was grateful to President Michael Sata for reversing the deportation order.
"On behalf of Bishop George Lungu who is away in USA, let me express my gratitude to the Head of State over his decision to reverse or indeed to revoke the deportation order.
"When everything happened, we felt that one of our priests who had stayed in Zambia for more than 20 years had been subtracted from the diocese, "he said.
Bishop Phiri, however, complained about the bad state of the road network in rural areas and appealed to the Government to expedite the rehabilitation exercise.
He said he was hopeful that the recently launched 'Link Zambia 8000' project would open up the rural areas.
"From the onset, let me state that the Church is involved in a number of activities and we feel that if the Government can improve on the markets, improve on electricity as well as road network, most people can be assisted a lot, "he said.
In response, Mr Mwamba said he would take up the issue by talking to Home Affairs Minister Edgar Lungu to ensure that the papers relating to the deportation order were quickly worked out.
He said the relationship between the Church and the Government had been excellent, adding that the State would bring the Church even closer.
"Even the President has stated that the Church should be closer to the Government for development to take root," Mr Mwamba said.
Mr Mwamba assured the Bishop that Chipata would attain a city status because it had required infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Anglican Diocese of Eastern Zambia Bishop William Mchombo appealed to the Government to start funding health institutions that were under his church.
Bishop Mchombo said at his residence when Mr Mwamba paid a courtesy call on him that there had been disparities in the way the Government was funding health institutions being run by the Church.

They called to schedule delivery and all went smoothly. The install directions however left out you need a 15 mm socket to remove the bumper bolts and a 19 mm socket for the stainless nuts to mount the guard. Also you need to measure 36" between the upper mounts before you tighten them else your be removing the grill again to get this dimension correct.You will need a second person to lift the guard into place. Heavy, nice. All is all, I love it. A lot a whole day to install with a winch and order the tow rings as you will need them as the factory ones do not get reused.Was this review helpful for you?

Nice look and quality. needed to purchase longer bolt to install thru bull bar. Electrical schematic was good except i needed to watch video to understand the hook up to the " parking lights".

The Westin universal off-road chrome lights were just what I needed to accent my 4Runner. They definitely help to set my SUV apart from the others. The off-roading lighting has been less than I expected. Their light beams are strong, but I was looking for more distance. I also wish they included a better on/off switch.1 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful for you?

Was a little worried at first with a long shipping time but got the lights in with the rest of my purchase. They are very bright. I had them professionally installed as the instructions called for, but they seemed really easy to install. I put them on the steel craft bull bar and they look very good.

Ordered this for my son, who has been wearing the suit for about two weeks. The graphics are fantastic and the quality of the suit is high.
Good quality thick material that I think will last a long time, it has scrunchy elastic around the legs which I thought was a little weird and I never usually see but looks ok when on.
This is a great practice suit.

What's so good?
By Rhett Flowers | Jan 20, 2013 | Total plays: 4,660
This tune, "Living Lens," is a perfect example of how patient musicians Koen Holtkamp and Brendon Anderegg are with their slow build-ups. It's the kind of album that's a real pleasure to put on in the background and let wash over you. With its ambient tunes, this is perfect Sunday afternoon listening.
Centralia is streaming over on Pitchfork, and is also available to purchase from Thrill Jockey.

I think I see it. Unless I'm missing something, the statement below is the same as (note: I removed the GROUP BY clause in the EXISTS test because it doesn't contribute anything -- I think we're all agreed on that ;-):
select * from miscchg A
where (a.AMSCHGC in ('S','B') or a.AMSCHGA in ('S','B'))
and a.ASHPNBR = 'BN460619' and a.ABLDNGD = '20120817'
and exists
(select ASHPNBR, ABLDNGD, AMSCHRG from MISCCHG b
where a.ASHPNBR = b.ashpnbr and a.ABLDNGD = b.ABLDNGD)
order by ASHPNBR,ABLDNGD,APLSQNB,AMSCHRG
The tests for ASHPNBR and ABLDNGD can happen anywhere, since you're joining on those two fields, and it seems easier (and I think more efficient) to make them as early as possible. But after moving them out of the EXISTS clause, the EXISTS clause really
does do nothing (or, actually, adds nothing -- it's always testing to see if theres at least one row with ASHPNBR='BN460619' and ABLDNGD='20120817', and it's going to get the same answer every time, because either there is or there isn't).
If you leave the tests inside the EXISTS clause, then removing it will return all rows that satisfy the AMSCHGC and AMSCHGA tests, which it sounds like a lot do. But if you take them out and remove the EXISTS clause, I think you'll get what you're
looking for:
select * from miscchg A
where (a.AMSCHGC in ('S','B') or a.AMSCHGA in ('S','B'))
and a.ASHPNBR = 'BN460619' and a.ABLDNGD = '20120817'
order by ASHPNBR,ABLDNGD,APLSQNB,AMSCHRG
Hope this helps,

OK please explain:

order by ASHPNBR,ABLDNGD,APLSQNB,AMSCHRG
I removed the GROUP BY, you are correct, same result.
If I remove the entire EXISTS clause, millions of rows are returned.
How can what you and others are stating be accurate if the result set with the EXISTS returns 6 rows, and without EXISTS returns millions?
Are you suggesting that the EXISTS "does nothing to change the final result" ? But yet it does change the final result.
What am I missing?

Modern dramas, even tragedies, typically have only three acts – the Setup, the Confrontation and the Resolution. An actual knife, or at least a psychological one, appears in the third to kill someone off and resolve the conflict.
The drama between Facebooka and Zynga, seems to be playing out in the classical five-act form. There are surely more fireworks to come.
Facebook's 8-K filing with the SEC yesterday announced a third amendment to the agreement between the two companies. It's short but important given the symbiosis between Zynga and Facebook. Almost all of Zynga's revenue still comes from Facebook and a material portion of Facebook's revenue comes from Zynga. I've talked about the relationship before as incestuous, but it's really more like Siamese, but not at all identical, twins. Facebook has always been the more dominant of the two, allowing Zynga to feed off an apparently healthier carcass like a mutant parasite.
Facebook's filing has several components:
- Zynga doesn't have to use Facebook Payments as a means of payment and/or display ads served by Facebook on its zynga.com site. But it can if it wants to.
- When Zynga uses the Facebook platform to distribute its games – which is still the primary way players play the games – the relationship will be governed solely by Facebook's standard terms and conditions for game developers. That's as opposed to a "favored nation" status previously enjoyed by Zynga that other gaming companies complained about and that looked like unfair favoritism or even a restraint of trade.
- Facebook no longer will exert an exclusive on Zynga's launch of new social games. Previously Zynga was required to launch new games on the Facebook site concurrent with, or shortly following, any launch on Zynga sites or third-party social platforms. This eliminates the requirement that Zynga use the Facebook platform as its primary non-Zynga platform to launch social games. I'm not sure why Zynga would stop doing this, though, as the company has not yet developed any viable alternative platforms.
- Zynga doesn't have to use the Facebook login as the exclusive way to sign in to games not hosted on the Facebook.com site. The umbilical cord is cut. Can the baby breathe on its own?
Missing still is any detail about the non-cash credits that may be going back and forth between the two companies and propping up both sides' revenue numbers.
Zynga may be recognizing revenue from Facebook that it's receiving via undisclosed credits instead of cash for Facebook's advertising on Zynga game pages and on Zynga.com. Facebook may also allow Zynga to pay for direct advertising on Facebook via credits instead of cash. There's a lack of correlation between increased revenues, higher confidence in collections from Facebook and higher cash flow from operations.
My bet is still on the last two acts of this classic tragedy to be Facebook subtly squeezing the life out of Zynga until it acquires the company for pennies. Why else would Zynga's CFO, an investment banker, jump ship to Facebook? Then you'll see the Facebook master plan realized – online casino-style gaming by Facebook abroad, and in the US when it's allowed, using Zynga infrastructure.

Adult dating is one of the easiest things to have in a city like Toronto. First, one of the reasons why it is so easy to have easy sex dating is because Toronto happens to be a huge city, and with more than 4 million people living in its core, it is no surprise that it is super simple to find other individuals looking for adult no strings attached fun.
Toronto is the largest city in Canada and 5th compared to all other cities in North America. With this many people it is obvious that it cannot be hard to find other adults looking for easy sexually liberated encounters without all the strings and drama of dating and stable relationships.
With almost half the population of Toronto being immigrants, also, you can see on multiple occasions experience international and even interracial sex dating couples and relationships. If one of your fantasy has always been having a one night stand with somebody from a difference ethnic background Toronto for sure will be the perfect place to make such fantasy a reality.
Beside the huge amount of people looking for adult dating and sex dating in the city of Toronto, the city has also a lot more to offer when you are going on a date or simply going out with your friend with benefits or whenever you are out with friends looking to hookup. Overall Toronto has some beautiful architectures and great places where to spend a nice fun evening. Toronto has some of the tallest buildings in the world, from the CN tower to the Wills Tower that is about 100 meters high, being the 2nd highest in the world. Notable attractions are the Royal Ontario Museum on Bloor street west (also know as the ROM), the Distillery District that has some great pubs and beer factories where you can taste hundreds of different beers, and last the Royal Gallery 0f Ontatio (also known as the AGO) on dundas street west. These are some of the best places in Toronto where you can easily meet finer individuals looking for adult dating in Toronto.
Then when you are ready to hookup and you know you are interested in the person Toronto has some of the best hotels for some steamy hotel room sex after a nice sex date. Some of my favorites are the Four Seasons in Yorkville, the Ritz Carlton, and the Trump International Hotel.
From personal experience though I like meeting Toronto Adult Personals in public places where I know that I will be safe and I will also be able to leave if the adult dating meet up does not work out. You will find that Toronto has many many great parks and great places where to meet dates and people you have met online. Some of my favorite places are Allan Gardens at College and Jarvis Street, Riverdale Park, High Park on Bloor Street West and the Toronto Islands with Hanlan Point that allows naked tanning . Places like shopping malls and local coffee shops have become also very popular when meeting adult personals met on the internet.
Finally, Toronto has some of the most amazing clubs and lounges in North America, and if you are a social person I am sure you will definitely not leave a bar or a club without a one night stand partner. Bars and Clubs in Toronto are definitely the easiest place when it comes to Adult Dating.
However if all you are interested in is to find sex here and now, all I can suggest you to do is to register to this dating website where people signup to meet other individuals looking for no strings attached sex and discreet encounters. There are many Toronto adult dating sites, but this one is definitely one of the best and I definitely suggest you to check it out.. registration is free..

For the meatballs:
1/2 pound ground pork (pastured preferable)
1 pound ground beef (grassfed preferable)
1 cup almond meal or coconut flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 extra-large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil
Olive oil
For the sauce:
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or plum tomatoes in puree, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place the ground meats, almond meal, parsley, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and egg in a bowl. Combine very lightly with a fork. Using your hands, lightly form the mixture into 2-inch meatballs. You will have 14 to 16 meatballs.
Pour equal amounts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large (12-inch) skillet to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat the oil. Very carefully, in batches, place the meatballs in the oil and brown them well on all sides over medium-low heat, turning carefully with a spatula or a fork. This should take about 10 minutes for each batch. Don't crowd the meatballs. Remove the meatballs to a plate covered with paper towels. Discard the oil but don't clean the pan.
For the sauce, heat the olive oil in the same pan. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Return the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve hot.

Will stem cells mean doctors are no longer needed nearly as much?
Of course we'll still need them for emergency medicine like broken bones etc, but with stem cells there exists the very real chance that entire organs can be regrown... specialists would be obsolete, as why fix something you can just replace with a brand new part?
We will definitely need them for everything they do now. Stem cells don't do everything as of yet. We are not even positive what they can do now.
Also, Most people will not be able to afford it and many many people will be hesitant to use it.
We are only in the stage of experimenting. We have only looked at the positives of using stem cells. The negative effects may take up to a decade to discover. Yet, there are many controversial issues with using them. There are still problems to be solved. For example, people need stem cells compatible with their bodies.

Mami, I don't work whn the kids are home. It's hard to get anything done with all 3. Sara isn't going to be left with all 3 for a long time if I can help it. We are talking about setting up more of a morning routine because of how much harder things are. 4 will be a trip, but Sara isn't planning to go back to work for several months after she gives birth, so we won't have a 4:1 ratio for age.

So happy for you all. Welcome to the world, baby A!
Can't wait to hear the details, but CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!

Welcome baby A! Congratulations! Happy baby mooning Indigo and DP!!!!
DS - planned born via 4/4/2011
Horray for baby A making it into the world on her own schedule! Congrats to you, Indigo, and your whole family. Happy babymoon!
DW and I are moms to two teens (DD 17 and DS 15) adopted through CAS in 2007 and a toddler (DD 2) born at home in March 2011.
DS - planned born via 4/4/2011
Whoa, I'm behind again.
Congrats, Indigo! How wonderful! I can't wait to hear all about her!
Thanks everyone for the name suggestions! Astrid, Evangeline, and Ellery were definitely on my main list at one point, but have been removed for various reasons. Josephine is very, very high up as a middle name contender, as it was my grandmother's name. Which she hated. Too bad I like it, eh?
I put all of your suggestions in a list for DP, and then got pouty and sad that she didn't just like the one we've been talking about. She said that since nothing else (except for Harriet, which I like, but don't love, and she totally shot down Verity, so I feel like we're one for one on name rejections) really seemed right she'll just stick with our frontrunner unless it really doesn't seem to fit. It's enough to make me hope for a boy so we can not have to worry about this again until #2 comes along…
Desert—don't worry, you'll get into it! It's a different kind of chat, for sure.
Library—I love the idea of your little baby dance party! Sounds like heaven!
Gumshoe—what a strange thing to be allergic to! But since eggplant is about the worst vegetable (in my humble opinion) maybe it's better that she not be able to eat that so she'll have more room for delicious broccoli and peas! Hopefully it doesn't extend to being allergic to tomatoes or peppers—have you tried giving her those to see if she has any reaction?
AFM—we spent all weekend doing nursery/baby things. Mostly getting a dresser and a bunch of relatively plain onesies to decorate at a baby shower my friend is hosting. I thought it'd be more fun to have colored (and striped!) ones than just plain white. And my aunt has apparently been keeping her childrens' baby clothes in case there were ever grandchildren. My cousins are now 28 and 26. She offered us anything we want, so I'm getting kind of stoked to see what was hip in 1983 that we could re-use on our little.
My midwife also said I need to get out of holiday mode and start eating better. So more veggies and less sugar for me! Anyone else on a (modified, non-weight-loss, better health) diet for new year's?
She's here!
And so are the boys!
Congratulations indigo and DP! I'm glad everyone is safe and healthy. Can't wait to read your story and see some photos of your lovely new daughter!
Mom and Mama to our Clever daughter (9.1.12), and cautiously expecting our rainbow baby after a miscarriage in February! We have a blog, too!
Isa, I have to clean up my diet but I also have weight to lose. The hard thing is getting everyone else in the house to eat it if I make dinner. The kids were really healthy eaters back in the day, but now they're both getting pickier and I'm afraid to offer foods to Sara that I know she's unlikely to like. I'm thinking about just offering what I want/make/something healthy and let the chips fall where they may. I'm so freaking sick of cheese, which is the only food everyone in the house will eat.
I just got a series of messages from Sara. She has been bleeding on and off since the first time. She went to the doctor again and they found a lake? I'm off to research.
Congratulations Indigo and family!!! Hooray for avoiding induction~ well done mom and babe! Glad all is well and I can't wait to see pix!!!
Alice had her 9 month checkup today and she is awesome (natch!). 27 inches long, 17 lbs 12 oz (she's been chunking up since we started 'real food') and in the words of the doc, 'She's perfect'. Hooray!!
Sorry to post and run~ more tomorrow xoxox
(Who's next in the birth roster? So exciting!!)
Indigo and DP: Congrats on the arrival of your little girl!
A (36) DP (52), over losing DD at 38 weeks in 2011. Our boy/gril twins arrived in April 2012!
congrats to indigo and your dp!! Welcome little A!!
Home alone with mr. shay today. We are having a bit of a rough morning but hopefully the afternoon goes better. Right now he is sleeping on me while I type.
We all drove up to Cleveland to see my parents this weekend and I've never seen the kids enjoy themselves so much up there! Ari said her favorite thing of the weekend was "your parents". That was so cute. Osha and my dad bonded many times, over frizbee, the zoo, and just making jokes. Shay loves my mom and kept talking to her and smiling at her too!
I'm really starting to show now and most of my regular clothes barely fit me. My work wont let me lift anything for myself now. I hate always having to ask someone to get the cheese out of the walk in for me, or put away a box of tortillas. I find it really silly! I also am feeling like I'm not looking so great anymore. More hair is growing and the hair on my head seems constantly dirty. Also I'm having more weird dry skin break outs on my face lately. My morning sickness seems to be a bit more under controll but certain things are still making me sick and if i forget my meds at all, I still get sick. Oh, and heartburn. But thats enough complaing.
Okay, so we went to get the oil chamged cuz he was ready to sleep in the car and as we were leaving, i went to the bathroom. Well low and behold, theres more blood. GREAT! Well I called the doc and they said to come in. They are testing me to see if I have any infections and checked the ultrasound too.
Baby boy is doing fine. 144 heartbeat, fluids have gone up to 14.85 which she is thrilled about and he is still breech. The ultrasound tech saw what looked like the placenta was seperating from the uterus but it isn't says the doc and I'm fine there. I do however have a 'placental lake' which is a tiny pocket of blood on the very edge of my placenta. They said as long as I only have one and it doesn't get better, its fine. We have to come back in 2 weeks for monitoring and to check to make sure its either gone or not bigger. Only restrictions are the fun things, no sex till its checked out again (I'm bummed!).
What a day. Will post ultrasound pictures later, but ill leave you with a 21w4d picture (from Cleveland)!
DP to Sara, two crazy kids running around, lil dude born 11-1-11 and the new guy is home !! (5/2/12)
Well, I had another Dr. appointment today and everything is looking good. He got her heartbeat immediately on the doppler and her heart rate is 147. Baby is still moving frequently, so we think everything is great. My next appointment is in a month and baby's parents are coming to that one. We'll have the growth ultrasound and I'll be 20 weeks so it should be fun! On my Dr. appointment days I drop DD off at daycare and have the rest of the day to myself- a one-per-month treat... She absolutely loves daycare, so I don't feel guilty leaving her once in a while! I am going to go enjoy my day off now. :)
Smilingsara- I totally had a dream last night that you and I were sitting on my couch and commiserating about morning sickness together. So funny since we've never met in person!
Mama to two, and second-time surrogate. Expecting May 2015.
ks, thats such a funny dream! but it sounds like lots of fun! congrats on the strong heartbeat and healthy baby for a deserving family. You are such a wonderful woman for helping them so much! Enjoy your day to yourself!!
indigo: baby A was born 1/8, correct? Just wanna have her birth date right on our list!!
DP to Sara, two crazy kids running around, lil dude born 11-1-11 and the new guy is home !! (5/2/12)

About MIT Press Ebooks
Look Inside
With Me++ the author of City of Bits and e-topia completes an informal trilogy examining the ramifications of information technology in everyday life. William Mitchell describes the transformation of wireless technology in the hundred years since Marconi--the scaling up of networks and the scaling down of the apparatus for transmission and reception. It is, he says, as if "Brobdingnag had been rebooted as Lilliput"; Marconi's massive mechanism of tower and kerosene engine has been replaced by a palm-size cellphone. If the operators of Marconi's invention can be seen as human appendages to an immobile machine, today's hand-held devices can be seen as extensions of the human body. This transformation has, in turn, changed our relationship with our surroundings and with each other. The cellphone calls from the collapsing World Trade Center towers and the hijacked jets on September 11 were testimony to the intensity of this new state of continuous electronic engagement.Thus, Mitchell proposes, the "trial separation" of bits (the elementary unit of information) and atoms (the elementary unit of matter) is over. With increasing frequency, events in physical space reflect events in cyberspace, and vice versa; digital information can, for example, direct the movement of an aircraft or a robot arm. In Me++ Mitchell examines the effects of wireless linkage, global interconnection, miniaturization, and portability on our bodies, our clothing, our architecture, our cities, and our uses of space and time. Computer viruses, cascading power outages, terrorist infiltration of transportation networks, and cellphone conversations in the streets are symptoms of a dramatic new urban condition--that of ubiquitous, inescapable network interconnectivity. He argues that a world governed less and less by boundaries and more and more by connections requires us to reimagine and reconstruct our environment and to reconsider the ethical foundations of design, engineering, and planning practice.

Merry Christmas to all.
The film of the video comes from the Nativity Story
The film has many theological and plot problems (it changes the story for dramatic effect, but then goes boring when the well known part is followed).
But the actress who played Mary, Keisha Castle-Hughes, gets the spirit of Mary correct. She is friendly, strong, attractive, and glows with joy, unlike too many actresses who portray Mary as a passive withdrawn dreamy personality.
(Keisha Castle Hughes is best known for her previous role in WhaleRider...and indeed, she is half Maori).
When the movie was released, reporters noted snidely that the actress was pregnant during filming even though unmarried, and confronted one Vatican cardinal with the "scandal".
The Cardinal instead said, (I paraphras) ah yes, and because of the pregnancy she could play Mary with that glow of all expectant mothers.
So although I didn't really like the film, when I think of Mary at the time of Christ's birth, I find this movie portrays her the best.
And for Mary during Christ's passion, I see the Mary of Passion of the Christ, Maia Morgenstern.
Ironic, isn't it, that the best portrayals of Mary in the Cinema are by non Catholic actresses?

Harry Potter Cast Members Reunite to Shoot New Scenes for Universal Orlando's 'Escape From Gringotts' Thrill Ride
Let's cut to the chase here: Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts (i.e. the feature attraction for Diagon Alley, that new Harry Potter-themed land that will be opening at Universal Studios Florida later this summer) isn't just a thrill ride. It's really Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.1.

Barclays, a UK-based bank, has recently bought 8,500 iPads "to assist [their] branch colleagues to interact with customers, improving their customer experience." Apparently, the iPads will be used as part of a new scheme called "Mortgage Brain," which will allow Barclays staff to scan the entire UK market quickly and easily using a tablet computer.
Here's what Barclays (via The Register) had to say regarding the implementation of iPads:
"We investigated a number of different tablet options and in this instance, we concluded that iPads were the best solution for their specific needs. We are now starting to use these across Barclays branches in the UK," she said.
Interestingly, Barclays seems to have completely bypassed the Windows 8-powered Microsoft Surface tablet, and also Google's Android OS. It's no secret that the iPad works well in business, and Barclays isn't the first to the game when it comes to mass-buying and implementing tablets in large-scale companies.
Remember, if you're a businessman looking to utilize the power of your iPad, take a look at our AppList for ideas.
So if you're in a Barclays branch and see a staff member ambling around with an iPad in hand, now you know why. He or she might also be able to score you a great deal on a new mortgage, if you're interested.
For more information, check out The Register's original article.

The poet thinks of America as the "centre of equal daughters, equal sons," who are "strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable," and who identify themselves with "Freedom, Law and Love." He salutes America as the "grand, sane, towering, seated Mother," who is "chair'd in the adamant of Time."
This short poem is a reassertion of the poet's faith in the destiny of the American nation. It demonstrates his love of the masses, his devotion to democracy, and his belief that in responding to the call of a democratic process, America is fulfilling a spiritual need of her people.

Start with prepared stuffing mix for these easy mushroom appetizers, with plenty of tangy Cheddar cheese.
Instead of Cheddar, stuff these mushrooms with your favorite cheese; try crumbled blue cheese, feta or shredded Swiss.
Wash sand or soil off the mushrooms by swishing them briefly in a large bowl of cool water. Lift them out and transfer them to another bowl. Repeat two more times with fresh water. Do not dump the bowl of mushrooms into a colander; sand from the bottom of the bowl will end up on top of the mushrooms. Gently dry mushrooms with a paper towel.
Stuff the mushrooms one day ahead of serving time, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Not sure we are talking about the same thing. I didn't get mine from the DS 4.5 reset but from resetting the Dynamic Clothing Control entry, see below. It gives you a list of files for both 4 and 4.5, again see below. I too paid for 4 Pro so this is what you probably should have as well.
As to whether it works or not I can't say as I haven't installed 4.5 and plugins yet.
The Dynamic Clothing Control entry Haruchai lists is exactly the one I reset and downloaded. I have no problem bringing up the Dynamic Clothing tab and performing the draping actions, and I have the Physics tab available so I appear to have the full paid-for version of the plugin available. But…
On machine 1, with DS 4 Pro I have Dynamic Cloth Plugin - Control plugin as shown in M1Plugin.jpg
On machine 2, with DS 4.5 Pro (using the same serial number as the first DS), I have Dynamic Cloth Plugin - Control plugin as shown in M2Plugin.jpg
So, why does machine 2 show this as an evaluation version?

This is a great glaze for nearly all meats--especially pork, chicken and salmon. It is wonderful with Goose, Duck and most other wild game also. My husband requests it regularly to use up our game from winter/fall hunting seasons. I just toss all the spices in the mix together vs. coating the meat since I quite often JUST make the sauce/glaze. It can be as tangy or as spicy as you prefer---for kids, you can add ketchup in place of Chili Paste. It works great with apricot/pineapple preserve as well. Try making it up just for a tangy dipping sauce for a party with meatballs or other appetizers.

This was great! I used butterfly cut pork chops which signifcantly reduced the cooking time.
Delicious sauce!
This was very good. I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, so I substituted the following: Orange Marmalade for the Peach Preserves, and 1 tsp. Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning for the chile paste. (Note: Walkerswood is a very thick jerk seasoning paste--comes in a jar-- that you generally rub into meat. Found in Caribbean section of grocery store here in the northeast.) The result was great, although glaze was a little on the thin side. I would probably decrease wine to 1/4 cup next time.
This recipe is so quick and easy - and very tasty. I added a little extra chili paste (I like it hot) and a couple cloves of minced garlic and it was superb. I will definitely be making this one again.
I made a couple of changes just to accomodate what I had on hand. I used pork loin instead of chops, marmalade instead of peach preserves, mild curry paste instead of chili paste and sherry instead of wine. Still turned out incredibly tasty!!
These were delicious. I made no changes except to use 1/2 cup Peach Sauce and 1 cup Apricot Preserves. I'd make this recipe again in a hot second. Thank you so much, Virginia!

THE High Court in Kisumu has given former Kasipul Kabonndo MP Oyugi Magwanga the nod to contest for the newly created Kasipul parliamentary seat on an ODM ticket.
Justice Hilary Chemitei yesterday threw out an application filed by one of the contestants challenging the procedure with which Magwanga got his ODM certificate clearance.
Sam Okoth Kotiende, who had been issued with the ODM certificate and his name forwarded to the IEBC, had gone to court challenging the inclusion of Magwanga's name in the IEBC list.
Kotiende had said the rules of natural justice had not been followed and wanted the ODM's national election board and IEBC decision to clear Magwanga squashed.
The IEBC appeals board in Nairobi cleared Magwanga to run after hearing a dispute lodged by the former Kasipul Kabondo MP against Kotiende.
Kotiende was perceived to have won the ODM nominations only for Magwanga to contest against the same before the IEBC appeals board.
In his application Kotiende claimed that he was not duly served by the IEBC appeals board in order to appear before it.
But Justice Chemitei ruled in his judgment that he was served via a short text message due to the limited time the electoral body had.
The judge said that the judicial review filed before him has a clear mandate and cannot interfere or circumvent the mandate of the IEBC appeals board.
Magwanga was enjoined in the suit as an interested party while the IEBC was the fourth defendant.
It was Kotiende's prayer that Magwanga's name be omitted from the ballot papers pending the hearing and determination of the petition.
Magwanga initially said through his lawyer William Kanjama that the suit should be sent before the chief justice so that a three judge bench can be constituted to hear it.
Kanjama told Justice Chemtei that other interested parties who are ODM officials are also based in Nairobi where they can give their side of the story.
He said the issue is not about jurisdiction but convenience for the benefit of all the parties.
Kotiende wanted the court to stop the IEBC from publishing the name of Magwanga on its ballot papers ahead of the general elections until the suit which he has filed is heard and determined.
Kotiende says he won the primaries and was given the ODM nomination certificates only for Magwanga to contest the same before the IEBC disputes committee.
The applicant says that the high court in Kisumu has the jurisdiction to hear the judicial review application.
The IEBC through Eric Gumbo argued that they have spent some 3 billion shillings on the ballot papers.
He said that it will be costly to the tax payers if the process is stopped by a single individual.

Teen Mom
Jenelle Evans Worried She Fractured Her Skull!
Hot off the heels of announcing her second pregnancy, Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after a rowdy fight with her new hubby, Courtland Rogers!
Jenelle has remained vague about the details of her hospitalization, but she was admitted right after her blow-out with Courtland and it looks like she suffered a mysterious fracture to her skull. "Oh yeah and my skull might be fractured," Jenelle posted to Facebook after revealing that she almost had a miscarriage. "Can't do X-rays right now."
As you might expect, Jenelle's fan base is concerned that her fight with Courtland turned physical. So far she hasn't said anything outright, but Jenelle's Facebook Fan Page moderator, Kristen Raeon, has re-tweeted several tweets (here, here and here) about Courty's alleged abuse.
As for Courtland, he's denying any wrongdoing. "I never did anything to hurt my wife I always loved her with every ounce of my heart :( I can't take life like this!" he tweeted on January 23.
Fingers crossed that Courtland and Jenelle's altercation was nonviolent — after all, Jenelley just got out of a physically abusive relationship with her ex-fiance, Gary Head. How much can one girl take?!

Hi all! I am new here and although I have been a horse owner for about 15 years, I just got my first gaited horse, a 15 yr old Foxtrotter mare, this past October. I am riding her and getting to know her as much as I can, but the winter weather makes it tough sometimes!
Anyway, this may be kind of a stupid question, but can I just ride her like a "normal" (non-gaited) horse? I have read a bunch of articles on the internet about riding them into the bit and such, and although I have had some success, I really am not used to riding with so much contact. Also, she seems calmer and more willing to walk when I give her a loose rein. With contact she kinda wants to "go," especially towards home. She is a bit barn sour but I am working on that.
I just want her for enjoyable trail rides, I ride western, and normally give my horses totally slack rein at the walk. I collect them up for faster gaits though.
I guess where I am getting confused, is I was reading an article, maybe at the Gaits of Gold site, and they talk about pushing the horse into the bridle at the walk, and eventually your horse is supposed to slip into it's natural gait.
Can I just let her walk on a loose rein if I am not worried about a faster gait at this point? Or is that gaited horse taboo?
Isabelle was used as a rental horse a bit and although she has a lovely Foxtrot and sometimes a running walk, she will also go into a hard trot if you let her. Basically, I feel like I have all these lovely gears but no way to hold the right one in place once I feel it! I know that will take practice. I do have a neighbor who has Foxtrotters and she has always discouraged me from "throwing the reins away" (riding without contact) but at this moment I really just want to enjoy the horse and give her some slack rein, at least at the walk.
Sorry for the ramble! I guess what I want to know is, can I ride her at a walk on a loose rein, and then practice gaiting when I want, or do I really have to constantly push her into the bridle, even when we are walking? We are never going to be a show horse and rider, I only want to do trails. Thanks in advance!

WASHINGTON, DC - After President Obama delivered a speech on the economy today, Mary Kay Henry, President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), issued the following statement:
"The President today laid out a bold framework for how to grow our economy and address the critical economic issue of our time - income inequality. Among the critical proposals he put forward is raising the federal minimum wage. Today marks the 4th anniversary of the last time the federal minimum wage was increased and President Obama clearly restated his commitment to raising it. By raising the minimum wage, we can reduce income inequality in our country and provide dignity to people who work 40 hours a week and still cannot provide for their families. Nobody with a full-time job should live in poverty.
"As they struggle to put food on the table and pay their rent, minimum wage workers aren't standing for it any more. Across the country, we have seen courageous workers go on strike to call attention to the fact that their wages cannot support their families. We stand behind these workers in their effort to raise their wages. We cannot rely on employers to pay a living wage, the federal government must intervene and that is what these workers are fighting for.
"Congress should follow the President's lead and take steps to increase the federal minimum wage as soon as possible so that millions of working families can emerge from poverty and make ends meet."

Geneva 2011: Gumpert Tornante
Second model from German supercar builder hits the Geneva show floor
Posted: 07 Mar 2011
The Gumpert Tornante has been revealed at the Geneva motor show, and it's actually quite nice.
Touring Superleggera - the team behind the Bentley Shooting Brake concept - were brought in to add a touch of elegance and class to the Gumpert's hard-to-swallow looks, and they seem to have been working overtime.
It gets gullwing doors, composite body panels and a chrome-molybdenum steel space frame together with a carbon fibre monocoque. Power comes courtesy - as in the last Gumpert - of a 4.2-litre Audi V8 producing 700bhp, mated to a paddle-shift auto.
Not at all shabby for a V8-powered 'Fast Tourer' GT, you might agree...

XM, who yesterday announced the signing of the NHL Commissioner for his own XM talk show, will be the title sponsor of the NHL All-Star fan ballot (which starts today).
The NHL lets the fans cast votes to decide who plays in the starting line-up for the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star starters for the annual NHL All-Star Game. You can cast votes online at nhl.com, and U.S. fans can also cast votes on Verizon wireless phones.
Voting takes place starting today, November 13th through January 2nd. The 2008 NHL All-Star Game itself is on January 27th in Atlanta.
Being the title sponsor of the XM/NHL All-Star Fan Balloting gives XM a ton of visibility in front of devote NHL fans. And here's a good move: everyone who registers to vote gets a 14-day trial to XM Radio Online.
XM is also throwing in daily prizes like XpressRC radios with 3-months of service included. Select NHL arenas and the new NHL Powered by Reebok store in NYC will have NHL.com voting kiosks. And the balloting is heavily promoted in the NHL's "Vote Now, Vote Often" print, broadcast, online and wireless advertising campaigns.
More deets in the NHL press release.

Robert Reich - former Labor Secretary on globalization and the future economy
Seán Kinane
Alan Watts
This morning at the Tampa Convention Center, former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich (pronounced "Rysh") addressed more than 1300 representatives of business schools. They were gathered for the International Conference and Annual Meeting of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Reich spoke on "China, India, and the Future of Everything," which focused on globalization and what the economy might be like in the future. WMNF Seán Kinane reports.
Reich said that he thinks there are three major vectors propelling the economy of the United States and propelling the global economy. Those are globalization, technological change, and demographics. Due to the effects of globalization, every product has components that are built all over the world. Because of this, Reich believes that where companies have their headquarters matters less than the value that their employees add to an economy.
"The standard of living of people depends and is going to depend less and less on the profitability of companies headquartered where they live, in their country or in their state. And more and more on the value that these people add to an internationally integrated system of global commerce."
At the end of this June, Fast Track trade authority runs out for the President of the United States. This authority allows the president to negotiate trade deals with other countries while legislators and states are excluded from the process with the exception of a yes or no vote on the un-amended agreement in Congress. Reich thinks that Fast Track should be reauthorized but it probably won't be.
"That's the only reason that any other country would sign a trade treaty with the United States. You're not going to sign a trade treaty with the United States if it can be amended all the way through Congress because you don't know what you're going to end up with. That Fast Track trade promoting authority is vitally important. But in June that runs out for this president and all the people I know in Washington DC on Capitol Hill tell me the chances that trade authority, fast track trade authority being renewed are very low. Why? Because the pendulum of popular opinion in the United States has turned against international trade and against globalization. "
Reich said that the range of opposition to so-called "free trade" spanned the ideological spectrum from Lou Dobbs to Patrick Buchanan and was due to xenophobia and fears about declining wages.
Eric Rubin is the former director of the Florida Fair Trade Coalition. He told WMNF that by narrowly framing the opposition to globalization in that manner, Reich ignored the concerns of many who feel that so-called "free trade" does not take into account environmental protection or workers' rights.
"The workers, the religious organizations, the environmental groups have opposed them unilaterally in every single country. So it's hard to argue xenophobia on that. In fact, it's just the opposite. These trade agreements are undemocratic. They're put forward by the large corporations. It's corporate welfare and it's almost universal in almost every country in the world. There is opposition among these groups opposed to these trade agreements, specifically because it is a transnational corporate-led movement to basically destroy any democratic rights of people in various countries and also the environment and democracy in general."
Rubin said that it does not make sense why Reich supports maintaining President Bush's authority to Fast Track trade agreements.
"Well, very simply, Fast Track is a bad idea all the way down the line. It fundamentally goes against any of the rules of discussion and or democracy. In fact we've seen in many of the trade bills that have come forward where they're submitted in the middle of the night, two hours before it's supposed to be voted on. Very many of the folks in Congress do not have an idea what the bill is. The fact that he [Reich] is doing this and giving Bush a carte blanche to vote on additional trade bills is ludicrous and makes absolutely no sense at all."
After globalization, the second vector that Reich's thinks will play a role in the future economy is technology. Reich said that more of an emphasis is needed on education because there are not enough people who have the skills needed to take advantage of new technologies.
"There is a mismatch between the demand for technicians and the number of people who have the technical skills. That's probably the biggest mismatch in our economy right now. And so technological change and the management of human resources with regard to technological change is as important a determiner of the next economy, of the emerging economy, as is globalization and they go together. And the common denominator of both are skills."
The third vector that Reich predicts will influence the economy in the future is demographics. The American population, like that of most developed, industrialized countries is aging while most developing countries are getting younger. Reich predicts that this will inevitably lead to immigration, especially of poorly educated and unskilled workers.
"Now when you have huge populations of young people over here, and you have here in post-industrial societies and countries, huge populations of graying people. What's the almost inevitable consequence of that? It's called immigration. Immigration: it's happening it is going to continue to happen."
Reich says that today any company can compete with the mega-companies like Wal-Mart. According to Reich, oligarchies, or small groups of companies that dominate an industry because of economies of scale, are not as important today as they once were.
"In an economy in which globalization and technological change, including digitalization and the Internet, allow anybody to get into anybody's business, where economies of scale are no longer the preeminent business strategy. Where does sustainable competitive advantage come from? Well, one place it comes from is your people."
But Florida Fair Trade Coalition's Reuben disagrees that oligarchies are less powerful today than they used to be.
"It's worse than it used to be. What we see right now is consolidation of capitalism. Transnational corporations have absolutely no allegiance to any country. They have allegiance to the bottom line and profits. Workers in the United States are upset with the fact that their jobs are leaving for other countries, workers in China are upset of the fact that they're working 12-14 hour days 7 days a week and there are no unions. These are both products of the consolidation of capital. You look at the media, you look at the auto industry; you look at the insurance industry; you look at the finance industry and all you see is the consolidation into a handful of transnational corporations. It's antithetical to what he [Reich] says."
Reich stated that social security was not in trouble because projections of its solvency were based on much less than the long-term average growth rate of 3%. However, he said that the rising cost of medical care is threatening the Medicare program that Reich claims won't get fixed until this country's health care system is fixed.
