Trying to give something back to the Community...
Well I'm pleased to be able to blog about the availability of the first book relating to Windows Deployment using MDT 2010 Lite Touch and WDS written by WMUG's good friends Johan Arwidmark and Mikael Nystrom.
The book is called "Deployment Fundamentals – Volume 1: Deploying Windows clients using MDT 2010 Lite Touch" in Johan's own words this is:
"the first real world book on deploying Windows 7 (and Windows XP) using MDT 2010 Lite Touch and WDS. The book covers end to end deployment, inventory, applications (even ugly ones), real drivers, real hardware, real problems, real network environments and of course, real world solutions."
Currently available via Amazon at:
PS – The guys are investigating options for making this more readily available to non-US buyers but for now you'll need to buy from Amazon.com and wait for it to ship.

Major Barbara at the National
Last night, I went to see Shaw's play Major Barbara at the National Theatre (Wikipedia, Gutenberg) along with Web Cowgirl and a few others.

Do you have favorite websites that you need to search? You might already know that you can search specific websites by using the pull down menu on the built-in search box in Internet Explorer. You can see a list of sites, such as Bing, Google or Yahoo; these are called Search Providers.
You can add Search Providers in Internet Explorer very easily, but what if the site you want isn't included in Microsoft's list of providers? Here are a few of the providers listed by Microsoft:
Bing Search – New York Times Instant Search – Wikipedia Visual Search – Amazon Search Suggestions – eBay.com Visual Search – Google Search Suggestions – Yahoo! Search Suggestions – ESPN Search – Realtime Web Search (by OneRiot) – Sports Buzz from Buzztap
Creating your own Search Providers is an easy trick to learn. It might save you several minutes every day if you have to perform lots of web searches. I'm only going to show instructions for Internet Explorer 7 and 8. If you have Internet Explorer 6, you should upgrade to a newer version. IE6 is getting too old, slow and insecure (like me). Unlike me, however, IE6 is not getting any wiser.
Let's start with a good example. let's say that you are in love with the Techie Buzz site and you need to search it every day. Follow the steps below to add your own "Techie Buzz Search" to Internet Explorer.
1. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Techie-Buzz.
2. Find the Techie Buzz site search box (upper right on page) and search for TEST (Use all CAPITAL letters).
3. When the results page appears, copy the address (URL) of the page from the address bar at the top of your web browser.
4. At the built-in search box, at the top right of the web browser, and use the pull down menu to select "Find More Providers".
5a. (IE7) In the yellow section of the page, labeled "Create Your Own", paste your copied URL into the first empty text box.
5b. (IE8) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link Create your own Search Provider. The next page will have form for creating the new provider.
6. Then add the name of your new search "Techie Buzz Search" into the next box.
7. Click the install button.
Now you'll immediately be able to use this new search by choosing it in the pull down menu on your web browser's built-in search window.
You can create a search like this one, at any website with a search box that displays the search results URL in the browser address bar. Some websites don't display the URL, but I've discovered a few other tricks that gets you what you need.
A. Go to your favorite search engine, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo.
B. Use the site:search directive and the keyword TESTas I show below. Make sure that there is no space in between site:and the website domain name. You also shouldn't use http://or wwwin the address.
C. Once you initiate the search, copy the URL from the address window in the browser and go back to step 5 above.
Now you know a couple more of my search tricks, but I have one last trick to share. Use the Advanced Searchfeatures in your search engine to generate some really fancy site searches.
- Have fun with your new Search Providers, and be sure to comment below if you find a great site to that you think Microsoft should add to the list of Search Providers. Are there any requests for a similar custom search tutorial using Firefox, Opera or Chrome?

Atomica de sommerfeld teoria
The two ends of a gay silk handkerchief thrown loose about the neck danced upon the displayed ebony of his chest; in his ears were big hoops of gold, and atomica de sommerfeld teoria Scotch Highland bonnet with a tartan band set off his shapely head. It was a hot noon in July; and his face, lustrous with perspiration, beamed with barbaric good humor. In jovial sallies right and left, his white teeth flashing into he rollicked along, the centre of a company of his shipmates. These were made up of such an assortment of tribes and complexions as would have well fitted them to be marched up by Anacharsis Cloots before the bar of the first French Assembly as Representatives of atomica de sommerfeld teoria Human Race. At each spontaneous tribute rendered by the wayfarers to this black pagod of a fellow-the tribute of a pause and stare, and less frequent an exclamation,-the motley retinue showed that they took that sort of pride in the evoker of it which the Assyrian priests doubtless showed for their grand sculptured Bull when the faithful prostrated themselves.

Tampa City Council holds off on Ordinance dealing with neighborhood groups
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Last week Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda questioned the appropriateness of a developer giving money to a neighborhood association.
Saying he was uneasy about such side deals, he introduced a resolution that added a provision to the City Ethics Code, prohibiting requests for "money, service or other thing of value" in exchange for support or opposition to a matter pending before the council.
Miranda also directed the city legal staff to change the city code so that rezoning petitions for West Tampa and East Tampa will no longer have to be reviewed by neighborhood groups. Today he said that it was critical that such groups, like the West Tampa Community Development Corporation, or CDC deal with developers in the open (roll tape#1 o.q.âthatâs the intent of this thingâ)
The CDC is a nonprofit that focuses on improving housing in West Tampa. The issue in that led to Mirandaâs concerns involved a developer who would have given the CDC $225,000 to improve housing. Miranda raised that objection on the same day it was revealed that Tampa Police are investigating another developer promising $50,000 to a different neighborhood association. Whether that is legal is questionable, but Councilmembers all say it is inappropriate.
Councilman Miranda said that all negotiations should be done in front of the City Council, regardless of how lengthy it takes (roll tape#2 o.q.âwant the same thingâ)
As discussion on the proposal began, City Attorneys were questioned by Councilchairwoman Gwen Miller as to why the Cityâs Ordinance only calls out the East and West Tampa overlay districts.
Such rezonings work differently on the Hillsborough County Commissioner. Former Commissioner and now City Councilman Thomas Scott said the City should model the County and use a Hearing Master, so they wouldnât have to contend with such issues(roll tape#3 o.q.â you still hear itâ) That proposal brought out many citizens from West Tampa, saying that changing the Ordinance was a move in the wrong direction, such as Delphine Jones (roll tape#4 o.q.ââtil itâs rightâ) Janice Dewlan said she was a lifelong resident of West Tampa.(roll tape#5 o.q.âtil itâs rightâ) Because the Chair of the CDC, Margaret Fisher, was not present, the Council voted 6-1 to continue the issue until laterâ¦.But Councilman Charlie Miranda voted no because he said nothing could change his mind on that the revised ordinance is required (roll tape#6 o.q.âso my mind is not going to changeâ)
The Council will vote on the issue probably sometime later next month

Sign semantics solved: Sétima, Séptima both included on Ybor road signs
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Tampa City Council has finally solved the Ybor City Seventh Avenue Sign debate. Some natives want the main street to stay La Sétima, others want what they call a more grammatically accurate La Séptima. So in todayâs meeting, the board voted to include both versions of the word on street signs. John Cinchett is a sign painter by trade. He spoke at the meeting to tell council members that was an ugly idea.
âThat is going to look completely out of place on Seventh Avenue. Not only that, Seventh Avenue is a historic district and the street signs that are there should look beautiful, not strange.â
The compromise was initiated by council member Yvonne Yolie Capin after emails and public comment flooded in on both sides of the argument. Supporters of La Séptima argue that the tens of thousands of visitors expected for this summerâs Republican National Convention will see the signs and think the natives are a bunch of dumb-dumbs. Those who donât want to welcome a âpâ onto their street signs say the current spelling is accurate. Capin said the signs would look just fine with 7th Avenue and both Spanish translations. She showed pictures taken in Spain to prove her point.
âAs you can see, the street signs are multiple. They are in Bavle which is the dialect. They are in Castellano which is the modern Spanish. They are explaining to you the culture and heritage of that region.â
After a back and forth at multiple City Council meetings, there was a general consensus that both spellings were accurate. But to add to the controversy, a new group emerged. Fran Costantino, president of the East Ybor Historic and Civic Association, said the city should nix the Spanish translations and just call the street 7th Avenue because Ybor has been recognized nationally by that name, not the others.
âI think it is sad that our ancestors will be looking down and seeing that we have now been reduced to a cartoon. I donât usually compromise on much, and usually stick to my grounds like when I extended the historic district to let everyone know something existed past the Columbia restaurant, but I think this is a good compromise for everybody. It was Seventh Avenue, it was Broadway, it reflects on the award that we got.â
The prospect of axing Spanish altogether brought council member Capin to tears.
âWhatever we decide here, the only thing I ask is do not erase the history. I have been called stupid, double laughable, ridiculous in emails. And the stupid and ignorant ones were the ones who brought this forth in the first place. I have nothing else to say.â
No one from the public spoke in favor of changing the signs to La Séptima, unless it was to support Capinâs compromise. But there was an impassioned handful of Sétima supporters â without the âpâ. Rene Gonzalez, an Ybor City performer, was one of them.
âWeâre here to present the case of what was historical and sentimentally called La Sétima. Seventh Avenue? Oh yes, whenever we spoke English, we said Seventh Avenue. If we say Seventh Avenue, thatâs fine â in English â but we are not preserving Cape Codâ¦or Williamsburg. We are talking about Ybor Cityâ¦.â
And Frank Marso Lastra has good reason to be attached to the current spelling â his father, Frank Trabin Lastra was the one who pushed council to put up the La Sétima signs up in 1998.
âHe saw La Sétima as honoring the unique way of speaking that the majority of our early ancestors had and also serving as a unique marquee of Ybor Cityâs main street that would shine forth its energy and excitement. When he wrote the book, a book that many call the bible of Ybor City, he took almost 12 years to write it â not because he was slow, but because he was meticulous in his research and documentation. The name La Sétima is grammatically, historically and culturally accurate.â
Jose Vivero argued that changing signs was a waste of taxpayer money.
âMore importantly, from a history, cultural and heritage point of view, the word La Sétima needs to be preserved as the legitimate name that our forefathers and mothers intended it to be.â
Council member Lisa Montelione and council chair Charlie Miranda were the only two who voted against the compromise. Montelione did some homework and found that replacing each sign would cost about $200. She made an unsuccessful motion to keep the signs as they are because if Sétima stays, only signs that are missing an accent mark on the e would have to be replaced.
âIâm just looking to go the lease expensive route possible and to preserve what we have in our history and looking at all three options, Iâm thinking that at this point in time we leave the signs the way we are, we replace the signs that are broken because that would be the least expensive route to go.â
The resolution adopted today allows the city to auction off the old street signs. Council members hope the proceeds from that will help offset the $2,000 original estimated cost. That figure could be higher now that the signs will contain extra text.

The only people who are making themselves look stupid and childish are the ones unwilling to compromise. We all know who those people are.

We have a vast and varied collection of American journals and magazines in the arts and humanities. The holdings range from microfilm of John H. Payne's The Thespian Mirror, originally published between December 1805 and May 1806, to The Last Supplement to the Whole Earth Catalog, edited by Ken Kesey and Paul Krassner in 1971.
Early Magazines | Little Magazines | Contemporary Magazines | British Library Collections
The history of periodical publishing in the U.S. is rich and well documented. The beginning of the last century ushered in a spate of books examining the publishing history of the 18th and 19th centuries. Lyon N. Richardson, A History of Early American Magazines 1741-1789, 1931 [20017.b.20], already draws on several earlier publications in the field. Focusing on the early years of American periodical publication, Richardson identifies characteristics that, by and large, define the field in the following 100 years. Written by and for the educated classes, these periodicals were predominantly eclectic in content but were typically didactic in nature.
Material from Europe, which included contemporary works and "classics", was juxtaposed with home-grown American content such as poetry, science, politics, rhetoric, social comment, essays and occasional narrative. Periodicals were vehicles for intellectual communication and extended discussion of the issues of the day. Neither this, nor the education of the authors, guaranteed the quality or the success of the publication and many only appeared in one or two editions. Perhaps this did not overly matter: the authors were typically highly-educated amateurs for whom the production of periodicals was not a career per se but rather a pleasurable pursuit.
The end of the 19th century saw significant developments in every area of the publishing business, leading to a considerable professionalisation of the industry. Syndication became prevalent, distributing articles simultaneously across the U.S. and Europe. Copyright agreements with the U.K., originally intended to protect British authors from piratical reprints, now served U.S. authors sending their work to the U.K. Magazines such as McClure's [p.p.6383.ae] began employ staff writers who would extensively research articles for illustrated serialisation. No longer offering just the personal views and opinions of an educated but amateur elite, magazines now proffered apparently independent journalism, based on well researched "facts" eloquently presented.
Little Magazines
The flipside of this increasing professionalism was an increasing sense of homogenisation that sparked a backlash in the form of what are now commonly termed "the little magazines". These, in many ways, harked back to the earlier era of American periodicals in their tendency towards coterie, their intellectual pretensions, and their frequently short lifespans. Unlike earlier journals, many women played prominent roles in the editing of little magazines, a development explored in detail by Jayne E Marek, Women Editing Modernism: "Little" Magazines and Literary History, 1995 [YA.1997.a.13656].
Since those who began to champion the modernist cause (the raw material of which appeared in these irregular and provocative little magazines) were frequently academics, it comes as no surprise to find that the next trend in publications came from the universities and colleges. With a certain inevitability, these periodicals whose cause was initially revolt and innovation became in time the bastions of received wisdom: bastions against which new writers in turn arrayed their artillery in another wave of little magazining.
This later spate of little magazining grew out of the beat and hippy movements. Drawing eclectically, as much from transatlantic Dadaism as from regionalised folk traditions, they presented political and social radicalism in aesthetic forms. Like the modernist little magazines before them, and the late 18th century periodicals before them, these publications appeared for a coterie audience and were frequently short-lived.
Contemporary Magazines
The development of both academic and independent strands in periodical publication has been symbiotically supported in the past thirty years by the proliferation of provision for creative writing, whether within the academic setting of university or the communal setting of urban and rural writing groups. Moreover, such proliferation has led to increased hybridity in content and editorial policy. Today, the internet and the accessibility of blogging provides the possibility for even greater hybridity and has given a new lease of life to the American traditions of miscellanies, satire, and communal production.
British Library Collections
The British Library collections represent an extensive cross section of America's periodical output in original copy and microfilm. They are augmented by a wide range of auxiliary material such as bibliographies and critical histories.
Of particular use is American Periodicals, 1741-1900, edited by Jean Hoornstra and Trudy Heath, 1979 [RAM 094.30973]. This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the microfilm contents, through four separate indexes for periodical title, subject, editor and reel number. [Series 1 mic.a.130-162; Series 2 mic.a163-416, mic.a.3621-4212, mic.b.604/846-1966; Series 3 mic.b.606/1-771]. Frederick John Hoffman. The Little Magazine (Second edition), 1947 [HUR 051.09] is also invaluable; see also Steven Clay, A Secret Location on the Lower East Side: adventures in writing, 1960-1980: a sourcebook of information, 1998 [RF.2002.a.44]./p>
Twentieth century collections are supported by predominantly thematic bibliographies, such as Nancy K. Humphrey's American Women's Magazines: An Annotated Historical Guide, 1989 [2725.e.1297] and Walter Goldwater's Radical Periodicals in America 1890-1950, 1966 [2764.m.29]. The Greenwood Press series, Historical Guides to the World's Periodicals and Newspapers, devotes the majority of its output to American publications, presenting descriptive and bibliographical information about significant publications within thematically contrived volumes, for example, American Indian and Alaska Native Newspapers and Periodicals, 1971-1985, 1986 [2725.d.373] and Corporate Magazines of the United States, 1992 [YC.1992.b.4355].
For contemporary material the CLMP (Council of Literary Magazines and Presses) Directory of Literary Magazines and Presses is invaluable and is updated each year (the most recent holding is 2003 [YA.2003.a.29533]. This lists alphabetically individual presses and periodicals, along with information on editorial policy and contact details. The listing is also available through CLMP.
Many Americans, as authors and editors, have contributed to British Little Magazines over the years: the British Library collection is among the greatest of its kind.

Second Language Learning through Drama
Practical Techniques and Applications
Edited by Joe Winston
Routledge – 2012 – 156 pages
Routledge – 2012 – 156 pages
Drama is increasingly being recognised as a valuable pedagogy for language learning as it can harness children's imaginations and stimulate their desire to communicate. Second Learning Language through Drama draws on current theories of additional and foreign language learning and illustrates through practical case studies how drama can be used to support the four key skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Drawing on the work of an international group of practitioners who are all highly experienced in using drama for the purpose of second language learning, the book clearly explains key drama conventions and strategies and outlines the innovative ways they have been used to create enjoyable and stimulating classroom activities that allow for multiple ways of learning.
Throughout the book the emphasis is on making language learning accessible and relevant to children and young people through creative, physically active and playful approaches. The strategies described are all highly flexible and readily adaptable to different teaching contexts. Specific themes include:
Second Language Learning through Drama will be of great interest to those studying on undergraduate and postgraduate courses and will serve as a highly valuable text to practitioners looking to incorporate the approaches described into their lessons and classroom activities.

Info & Phones News Reviews › Forum
Is this legal?
I would like to know why and how U. S. Cellular representatives have talked customers such as myself into upgrading and purchasing new phones from them, knowing full well that these devices were going to be useless in a few short months? I've purchased 2 new phones from us cellular in the last 5 months... I had heard rumors of the future sprint buyout and spoke with the us cellular agent about it... She confirmed the rumors with me.... Yet still sold me 2 new galaxy's... Never mentioning the the devices weren't going to be compatible with Sprint... and I basically handed us cellular a good amount of money for nothing! Maybe that was my own fault for not researching the facts more before the purchase... However I do think any merchandise sales made by Us Cellular in the last 6 months or more is at the very least unethical and in my opinion criminal. Even more disturbing... I was just on the phone with a Us Cellular agent less than two weeks ago concerning a bill question... and she tried to talk me into using my 'points' to move up an upgrade for my son to purchase a new phone with them!! This was only two weeks before I recieved the letter that my new devices will soon be useless!!! Like I said unethical.... Basically theft and attempt at more theft.... How is this a legal business practice??

rental car situation, and while we were on hold, they called Budget, and located our reservation. It was in their system all along. The reason they couldn't find it was because it was under Michael - the name I go by, which isn't my first name. And when I travel, all of my documentation is under my first name.
So why this reservation was under Michael is a mystery, particularly since the Kona reservation, made at the same time, was correct. But after a quick jaunt back to Budget to deal with the paperwork of voiding out the screwup and returning to our existing reservation, we were back on our way with a rental car that isn't going to cost us hundreds of dollars.
We spent the morning at the pool, where Char met up with a dental hygienist from Toronto. They had a great time swapping stories about their work. I chatted up the husband, an architect, and we talked a lot of politics. It was the only time I've thought about work since being here.
After lunch, it was a short walk down to the beach, which is conveniently located next to the ocean.
The waves were good and the water was warm, even though it was overcast and the wind was fairly cool.
Michelle and I spent about an hour playing in the waves but everyone got in the water for a little bit.
After supper, we walked back down to the ocean to watch the sun set.
Tomorrow: I step outside my comfort zone and step off the edge of mountain. And that's if everything goes according to plan.

I was so flummoxed - I couldn't imagine nursing my child with a strange 14 year old boy sitting two feet away from me. Not that they can really keep anyone who wishes to from sitting there, nor should they - I just thought it was a dumb way to pay lip service to being nursing friendly, when really I would have had more privacy and been more comfortable sitting somewhere else in the mall.

It just seems bold to say you wouldn't use one. To each her own, I supposed.
Is it just that name that people are having a problem with? What if it were called the "Baby Comfort Zone" or something like a pp suggested?
now, i have been in "mother's rooms" that are pretty grubby and uncomfortable, where the feeling really is more like they're just trying to get us out of the way, and i wouldn't go way way out of my way to find the lactation room when we just need a quick snack and change, but overall i think they're great.
That's suprising to me. I haven't been to many state fairs, but I can't imagine finding a chair or bench to use at random. I suppose you could sit on the ground, but again, I think it's gravel and dirt where I've been.

I'm just of the belief that nursing should be a normal part of life, not something we go out of our way to make a point of accommodating or anything else.
And I suppose, if the concern is heat, then yes, making a baby area makes more sense to me overall.

"That rug really tied the room together."
I think they are nice as long as it's clear the location is offered as a convenience, with no expectation that mothers should nurse only there and not in other locations.
I also feel that mothers who are bottle feeding should be clearly welcomed. Someone who is bottle feeding a young infant or who chooses to hold her baby while bottle feeding may really appreciate a place where it is easy to sit down and hold the baby. Someone who is bottle feeding a baby who is easily distracted may appreciate a quiet and more private place to do it.
I am all for supporting breastfeeding in a very positive way that does not lead to anyone feeling excluded or looked down on for not breastfeeding. I think these areas would be better called "infant feeding stations" where all mothers who could use a quiet, cool place to feed their baby are clearly welcome, regardless of how they feed their infant.

What about the dad there alone with a bottlefed baby? Should he also be welcome somewhere like that where there are nursing mothers that may be there specifically because it's for MOTHERS?
It has always bugged me (and my DH) when there are diaper decks in women's bathrooms but not in men's. I don't care for it when men are excluded from special accommodations for babies/young kids.
and 3 , in our happy secular
Our mall has a nursing room, but it is one chair and a lamp. I don't ever use it, I sit on the chairs outside the bathroom. Lots of traffic, but if I am with friends or DH, I am not stuck somewhere all by myself. I would rather have people to talk to. Also, the JCPenney's has a couple chairs outside the fitting rooms in front of a TV, I've nursed there as it is kind of private, even though there is nearly always a guy in the other chair, waiting on his wife/girlfriend/mother. doesn't bother me a bit. I think nursing rooms are nice to have. Not offensive at all! I haven't seen one I like better than just sitting out on comfy chair though.
I will keep my eyes peeled at this year's state fair and see if there are any accomodations. (I am in SC, so um. we'll see!)

I thought about that too...but I'm not sure how to balance it with wanting to provide a more private place for nursing mothers who don't feel comfortable NIP, and would feel uncomfortable with a father being right there....maybe a separate, more private corner with a curtain or screen for those mothers who really want the privacy ?

As for Dads, personally I like how Disneyland/Disneyworld does it. They have a nursing room with rocking chairs set up thats private. It basically has a sign that says "for nursing mothers and their children" on that room. Then they have a seperate room with couches, high chairs, tables, a tv for older children etc for fathers/older children or if you just want to give your child some food. In Disneyland the changing area is also seperate (and I love it has a faucet that you can rinse off cloth diapers in, I had no clue what it was for with my first so I asked the lady she told me). It also has little pottys for if you have a potty training toddler that isn't comfortable in the big potty. I have also nursed just about anywhere you can think of in the parks including waiting in line for rides, during parades, during flag lowering ceremony, at restruants.. I could go on.
Trust me there are times that I have WISHED for a nursing room when my girls were at that age where everything was distracting them and it was hot/crowded/hard to find someplace to sit down. When both went through that age nursing in the carrier didn't work because they would get distracted by the carrier.. It was a fun age..
As for nursing covers in the nursing rooms. I used them with my first. I had a LOT of trouble breastfeeding and basically almost had to remove half my shirt so I could get my baby properally attached. Even in a room full of women I didn't feel comfortable doing that. I think I stopped around 2 months when nursing got easier and a friend of mine at church told me not to worry about fussing with the cover she had the same equipment I did (she also introduced me to carriers! I miss her!).

we had one at Fryeburg Fair and I loved it. Heated (it was cold here) and with nice comfy rockers and a changing station. It was a quiet place to nurse and totally beat the outdoors on a frigid day. I don't find it offensive at all, at least they are thinking of nursing moms you know?

After a long and contentious election campaign, U.S. President Barack Obama has his work outside the United States cut out for him. During his first term, Obama witnessed global developments that strained world economic growth in different ways. These included the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, the resulting economic slowdown in Asia and political instability in the Middle East. In addition, the president's administration confronted very different issues with America's neighbors, Canada and Mexico. These developments will continue to confront the president as he embarks on his second four-year term. In the U.S. political system, presidents must work with Congress to shape domestic policy. Already, Obama's focus has turned to addressing the so-called "fiscal cliff," which threatens the U.S. economy with another recession right as consumer confidence and jobs growth are picking up. In addition, the president will have to negotiate with a Congress still dominated by rival Republicans over extending the national debt ceiling in January. Both of these domestic issues are important to the world, because recession in the U.S. will hurt global trade.
But, when it comes to foreign policy, U.S. presidents are given more executive power to formulate a course of their own choosing. Obama will need to focus on the coming storm from Europe that threatens America's shores. For the U.S., the stakes are too high not to get involved: the U.S. and the EU trade $700 billion in goods and services a year, making it the world's biggest trading relationship.
The economic relationship with China is just as important. U.S.-China trade totaled $531 billion in 2011, but it's growing. China has seen economic output shrink to 7 percent after years of 10 percent annual growth. For China, the slowdown comes just as U.S. companies are expanding Chinese operations. First, Obama will have to mend relations with the new leadership in Beijing. It's become a U.S. election tradition for both presidential candidates to bash China for "stealing American jobs," through currency manipulation or outright theft of intellectual property. Obama realizes that China presents more of an opportunity for the U.S. than a challenge. On the issues brought up during the election campaign, there has been more progress than many Americans realize: China's currency has appreciated during the last four years and enforcement of intellectual property rights is starting to pick up pace.
The Middle East is a greater challenge for Obama. Last year, his administration tightened sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, which the U.S. accuses Iran of developing for military purposes. Iranian oil exports have shrunk as a result, hurting Iran's economy and fueling inflation there. But, it also led to a spike in gasoline prices at home in the U.S., which was then used as fodder against the president by his rival Republicans in the run-up to the election. So far, Obama has resisted pressure from Israel to use U.S. forces to strike Iran. He has also put pressure on Israel not to launch its own strikes. This is a powder keg that the president needs to diffuse, not escalate. One-fifth of the world's oil exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has threatened to block the 32-kilometer-wide waterway if it is attacked. With "Arab Spring" protests spreading to U.S. allies in the Gulf – like in Bahrain, and now Kuwait and even Saudi Arabia – the potential for regional instability and/or disruption of oil output grows exponentially if the U.S. makes a wrong move.
Finally, Obama will have to address ties with America's neighbors. Canada is the number one source of imported oil for the U.S. Last year, the Obama administration blocked an extension of the Keystone XL pipeline that would help deliver oil from Canada's controversial but highly productive "oil sands" to the Gulf of Mexico and, ultimately, to world markets. That move was generally interpreted as an election year ploy for the president to shore up support among environmentalists. The State Department is now reviewing an altered pipeline route and could approve an extension in 2013. Either way, the energy relationship between the two countries is growing, and Obama will foster this during his second term.
Immigration will be a sure topic when the U.S. president meets with his newly elected Mexican counterpart, Enrique Pena Nieto, later this month. During Obama's first term, the number of Mexican immigrants, both legal and undocumented, actually fell due to the recession. While the president supports immigration reform that may include more worker permits for Hispanic workers in the U.S., he can only get that done with the cooperation of Congress – unlike other foreign policy priorities.
Obama has some major international challenges to contend with as he embarks on his second term: a crisis in Europe, a slowdown in Asia, instability in the Middle East and shoring up relations on his own North American continent. How he deals with each could have profound effects on the global economy.

King Lear is Shakespeare's bleakest and profoundest tragedy, a searing dramatization of humankind at the edge of apocalypse that explores the family and the nature of being with passion, poetry, and dark humor.Under the editorial supervision of Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, two of today's most accomplished Shakespearean scholars, this Modern Library series incorporates definitive texts and authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works. Each play includes an Introduction as well as an overview of Shakespeare's theatrical career; commentary on past and current productions based on interviews with leading directors, actors, and designers; scene-by-scene analysis; key facts about the work; a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times; and black-and-white illustrations. Ideal for students, theater professionals, and general readers, these modern and accessible editions set a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the twenty-first century.
A king foolishly divides his kingdom between his scheming two oldest daughters and estranges himself from the daughter who loves him. So begins this profoundly moving and disturbing tragedy that, perhaps more than any other work in literature, challenges the notion of a coherent and just universe. The king and others pay dearly for their shortcomings–as madness, murder, and the anguish of insight and forgiveness that arrive too late combine to make this an all-embracing tragedy of evil and suffering.Each Edition Includes:• Comprehensive explanatory notes • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English• Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a… More about William Shakespeare

Hi All,
Been a long time since I posted on the forum however I am currently running into an issue with a new router. I got the Asus RT-N66U Dark Knight router to replace my very old and basic Netgear router. The reason for the upgrade is because I have about 8 devices that are connecting to the router and I always get an IP clash issue with the old Netgear router. So I moved to the Asus RT-N66U router and have not had an issue yet.
However, on one of my laptops I constantly get errors when using the internet with the new router. i.e. can log on, visit some sites, then I get the "Resolving Host" errors out pop up in the bottom right for any browser and the page errors out. (Using Chrome most of the time) It only happens on this laptop (Dell Latitude newer model). The router software is configured on my desktop in the other room. Both laptop and desktop running Window 7. I also have 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, and another work laptop (XP) that I use without any problems. It only started on the Windows 7 laptop since switching to the new router.
Any help on how to get this fixed?

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
ExxonMobil is preparing to open up a new frontier for the coal seam gas industry in Australia.
In doing so, it may help reshape the debate around unconventional fuels that has increasingly pitted the energy industry against farmers and prompted legislators to make large tracts of land off limits to exploration and production.
Exxon is setting up a joint venture with closely held Ignite Energy Resources to explore and potentially develop coal reserves of methane gas occurring naturally within more than 16 billion tons of brown coal close to the surface in the Gippsland Basin of southeast Victoria, and over 280 billion tons in deeper seams.

Education Dept. approves learning program for NAU
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- The U.S. Department of Education has given Northern Arizona University the go-ahead to teach classes using an online, competency-based program.
It's called "Personalized Learning," and it helps students earn a degree using skills they already have, in addition to what they learn in the classroom.
"Personalized Learning is a set of three degrees," said Allison Brown, NAU's Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for Extended Campuses. "They are in Computer Information Technology, Small Business Administration and Liberal Arts. They are offered completely online as a competency- and skills-based program."
Brown says you may be able to skip some of the course work to get your degree sooner.
"Students are able to show us that they are competent in various skills," Brown said. "If they are, they pass a pretest in an area, and they don't need to take the coursework associated with what they already know."
Brown says a student with just a little life experience could be able to graduate in about three and a half years.

Barnstaple One Mile Milestones at Pilton and Bradiford
- from: Martin.Haddrill
- uploaded: Jan 30, 2014
- Hits: 2185
The Barnstaple Turnpike Trust was formed in 1763 to manage all the roads leading into the town. At its peak the Trust covered an impressive 104 miles, making it the second largest turnpike in the county. Just prior to its closure in 1879, the Trustees agreed to set up a series of new milestones within the boundary that would be measured from a common centre of the whole of Barnstaple Turnpike Roads. A polished reddish granite quoin engraved in gilt was inserted into the corner of Barnstaple Guildhall for this purpose.
A largely uniform set of stones were set at the roadside, many of which survive today but in varying states of repair. Unfortunately, further from the town the stones have suffered from decades of neglect with many succumbing to unchecked vegetation or buried in banks during road widening. However, the seven stones at a distance of 1 mile from the Guildhall still exist. Of these, two survive and can be found in Pilton - on Westaway Plain near Youings Drive - and in Bradiford - near the bridge across Bradiford Water.

Microsoft, Toyota Financial Services and Cliffs Natural
Resources are finalists for the Association for Financial
Professionals 2012 Pinnacle Award.
Sponsored by Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), the Pinnacle
Awards have recognized excellence in treasury and finance each year
since 1997.
Finalists were selected based on their dynamic solutions that
helped their treasury and finance operations run more efficiently
and effectively. The AFP Pinnacle Grand Prize winner will be named
Oct. 14 at the AFP Annual
Conference in Miami.
Wells Fargo will make a $10,000 donation to a charity of the
winner's choice. Danny Peltz, executive vice president and head of
Wells Fargo Treasury Management, and Jim Kaitz, AFP President &
CEO, will host the award ceremony.
"AFP is pleased to honor the 2012 Pinnacle Award winners," said
Kaitz. "The theme of this year's Annual Conference is Bold Visions
for the Future, and the solutions presented by Microsoft, Toyota
Financial Services and Cliffs Natural Resources certainly meet that
high standard."
Microsoft was selected as a finalist for its approach to
enhancing zero balance account arrangements. By working with its
bank to add additional information to better identify transactions,
Microsoft streamlined collection sweeps for hundreds of its bank
accounts and created a just-in-time funding model for subsidiary
disbursements. As a result, Microsoft's treasury team reduced its
balances in Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain by more
than 94 percent in the past year.
Toyota Financial Services
Meanwhile, the Toyota Financial Services treasury team led a
cross-organizational effort to establish robust transfer pricing
that was consistent across product lines. Instead of using a
benchmark rate as an approximate cost of funds, each loan was
match-funded based on its characteristics and expected monthly cash
flows. The impact helped treasury, finance, analytics, sales, and
marketing make more-informed decisions and more-accurate funds
transfer pricing for 4 million consumer retail and lease loans
outstanding and over 2,000 dealer lending loans outstanding.
Cliffs Natural Resources
Based in Cleveland, Cliffs Natural Resources was selected as a
2012 AFP Pinnacle Award finalist in recognition of how its treasury
team managed transformational growth in two ways. First, while
increasing staff from four to 14 in less than 18 months as the
company grew globally, Cliffs implemented a global risk management
policy to manage its increasing foreign currency exposures across
many newly acquired business units. Second, Cliff's treasury team
emphasized managing talent, developing bank relationships, and
leveraging real-time data and technology throughout the process
with its treasury groups in Australia and America.

Hurricane season starts on June 1, and it's time we the people took control -- of naming them. Almost every year, these bad boys and girls have been storming up and down our coastlines, leveling Florida homes, tearing open New Orleans levees, floating Vermont pickup trucks and generally causing havoc.
So what can we do about them? Well, we can't stop 'urricanes from 'appening, to paraphrase Eliza Doolittle; they have international passports. Hurricanes often form as dust clouds in the African Sahara, soak in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and then languish on exotic Caribbean islands before crashing onto our shores like texting drivers.
So if we can't beat 'em, can we at least name 'em?
Banish Beulah
The World Meteorological Organization began naming hurricanes in 1950. The tradition is relatively recent considering that the first recorded howler was "the Great Tempest of 1609," which struck the Chesapeake Bay. And the worst hurricane to hit the United States -- which killed up to 12,000 people and washed away 3,600 homes in Galveston, Texas, in 1900 -- was never named.
Enter the meteorologists, who haven't done a very good job. This is no surprise, since their forecasting hasn't been great, either. But thanks to them, hurricanes have names like Fifi and Fabian. Might be fitting for a poodle or an aging rock star, but would you pick a moniker like Beulah for your offspring?
Why not names like Jacob and Sophia, which topped the Social Security Administration's list of the most popular baby names for 2011? And don't forget fifth-ranked Noah. Well, maybe not such a good idea since it conjures up memories of a certain flood.
And meteorologists aren't creative, either. They roll out the same list every six years, so predictably (unlike the weather) Alberto will head the list of this year's storms, just as he did in 2006 and will again in 2018. The only exceptions are the 76 storms that were so big and tough that they had their names "retired," sort of like the jerseys of great athletes.
And why ignore the letters near the end of the alphabet such as u, x, y and z? Haven't weathermen ever heard of Ursula, Xavier, Yolanda and Zoe?
Let the 'Mayhem' begin
So here's my modest proposal. Since there are already reality show contests like "Dancing with the Stars" or "American Idol," where judges either pick or vote for contestants to make the cut and then the public calls or texts in their votes, why not do the same for hurricanes? Judges could choose the names from the 30,000 in a typical baby-names book in January, and the voting would run until the season opener on June 1.
But you'll need to treat this contest like politics, where money talks. Those with a lot at stake -- such as property casualty, business and auto insurers in hurricane-prone areas -- should be the judges. GEICO's gecko, Progressive's Flo and Allstate's "Mayhem" would make splashy celebrity judges. Mayhem is particularly appropriate for Allstate, since it lost $5 billion from Hurricane Katrina.
It's too late to begin our new contest this year, but we could have our reality show ready for the 2013 season. And that would mean we would never have to hear the names Felix or Humberto again.

I'm just going to get it out of the way: Bristol Palin looked smokin' hot. Continue Reading
Bristol Palin is not a good advocate for this cause, unwed mothers. She is from a very affluent family that can give her all the financial support she needs. My guess is that the other young mothers are no where that lucky and can't identify with her.
Like or Dislike: 7 4
She is the perfect person. Bristol as not brought in to council those young women. She was brought in to gain attention to and shine a spotlight on the issue. To raise money for the center because of the attention. From the posts I have seen on inFourm and all the articles in the news paper no sane person can pretend she did not create an attention whirlwind around the issue of unplanned teen pregnancy and the problems these young mother face. While money and support is part of being a parent there is much more to the sacrifices these young single women are going to have to make to raise their child.

Actually she is not from a very wealthy family ay all. Remember when he wacko liberals went after her they did it by spending millions on ambulance chasing attorneys so as to try and consume all her family's savings just in defending themselves. This was a tactical move by a desperate group of radicals. All part of the reason that group has their reputation.

Fargo is full of pseudo intellectuals, people who think and act the part but are dumber than a mud fence, particularly in the area of common sense. Too many of them, like reality check hate the Palins because they are told they should be the biggest block of pseudo intellectuals on the planet, the democrat party and their former mainstream media lapdogs.

Google Cloud – a cloud services platform designed to compete with Amazon's EC2 – looks set to launch this Wednesday at Google's I/O developer conference.
The company has been working on extending its cloud offerings for some time now with the expansion of Google Docs and the unveiling of Google Drive.
Sources inside Google have indicated it will reveal its EC2 competitor at the conference, reports GigaOM.
Google has focused on making it easier to write, deploy, and manage apps on its service so as to retain its developer community that could make or break the incoming cloud service.

I have looked for weeks on Craigslist and all the nicer ones seem to be sold or the owner decides to not sell it at the last minute. Thank you.

An astronomer in the US has discovered a huge tunnel through our Galaxy. The tunnel, which is virtually free of neutral, or non-ionised, gas, is at least 1000 light years long and stretches from the Sun to the star Beta Canis Majoris and beyond. It may allow astronomers to observe distant objects that emit extreme ultraviolet light, a type of radiation which is usually absorbed by intervening neutral gas.
Barry Welsh of the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Astrophysics in Berkeley, California, discovered the tunnel while extending the work of two other American astronomers: Priscilla Frisch and Donald York of the University of Chicago. In 1983, they discovered that the Sun is in a void which contains very little neutral gas (Astro-physical Journal (Letters), vol 271, p L59).
The void, dubbed the 'Local Bubble', extends 100 light years in most directions. But it reaches even farther in the direction of Beta ...

Richard Trumka was all about the public option back in September, when he said in no uncertain terms that the AFL-CIO "won't support the bill if it doesn't have the public option in it." And to his credit, one of the only reasons it stayed in the debate as long as it did was because Trumka kept bringing it back up.
But the public option was never more than a bargaining chip for Trumka, something that the AFL-CIO could cash in when it wanted something. Of course, he got nothing he wanted, and in the end settled for a fix on taxing "cadillac" insurance plans. And now he is actively trying to block a vote on the public option, dooming its chances. In doing so, he's insuring that his "fix" gets paid for by cannibalizing $22 billion from student loan reform.
The excise tax is both unpopular and bad policy, and it unfairly targeted skilled workers who live in states with high insurance costs. People who are represented by Trumka's labor federation. And it's his job to protect them.
But taking money out of the pockets of community colleges, state schools and early education programs is not the way to do that. These colleges are trapped in the midst of the state budget crises, shutting down programs and firing staff just to keep their doors open. The money in the Senate "fix" came from putting an end to Wall Street banker middlemen in the student loan process, cutting out their outrageous, crippling fees. It was passed by the House as the Student Loan and Financial Aid bill (SAFRA), and was meant for education. With a double-digit jobless rate, enrollment at community colleges is surging as minority youth urgently try to improve their job skills. By denying a vote on the public option, Trumka is forcing his "fix" to be paid for by taking $22 billion directly away from education funding.
There is another way to pay for health care, one that doesn't involve raising taxes or cutting $22 billion from education: the public option. The Congressional Budget Office says it will save $25 billion in the health care bill, and the only people who stand to lose are the insurance companies, who don't want the competition.
But Richard Trumka says the AFL-CIO is telling Senators not to even allow a vote on an amendment to the public option. The public option that could easily pay for the money taken straight from cash-strapped schools for Trumka's union fix.
Michael Bennet of Colorado went on the floor of the Senate, telling the outrageous, bald-faced lie that allowing a vote on the public option would "kill the bill." For someone who has been in the Senate now for quite some time, he obviously needs a basic civics lesson. The health care bill has passed. It's already been signed into law. The sidecar reconciliation bill is essentially a tax "fix," negotiated after the unions threatened to "kill the bill" after the Senate passed it the first time. If these changes were so critical to saving lives, one wonders how the Senate deliberated for so long and managed to overlook them in the first place.
But one of the more shameful things about the union "fix" is that money that was initially targeted to help colleges and students across the country got seized to pay for it. The student loan direct lending program saves $61 billion that was supposed to go straight to education, but unions cut a deal with the White House to reduce the excise tax. But somehow that fix had to be paid for. And so they took $22 billion from student loans.
It's wrong for Richard Trumka to have used the public option as a bargaining chip in the first place, and it's terribly wrong for him to be opposing so much as a vote on it now. The excise tax doesn't even kick in until 2014. Those students need money now.
And it's dishonest to claim that failure to pass the "fix" means people won't get health care. But that's what Michael Bennet is doing, desperate to save his seat as his primary challenger — Andrew Romanoff — calls on him to stand by his word. Trumka is covering for Bennet, pretending that a public option vote will happen later on. The amendment could pass with 50 votes now under recociliation — not when the "60 vote" barrier magically reappears in some fantasy future.
The President said he supports a public option. The House already passed one. There are 53 Senators who say they have supported a public option. The only ones who don't want one are the insurance companies.
Trumka shouldn't be covering for Michael Bennet's desperate lies. And he certainly shouldn't be holding community college students up by their heals and shaking them til the change falls out of their pockets, while Aetna stands over his shoulder counting their millions.

FORT WALTON BEACH - A 46-year-old man told officers he didn't know how a woman had gotten scratched or why her skin was red after being accused of battery.
On June 19, Fort Walton Beach officers were called for a disturbance, according to the arrest report. The caller was a witness who said she saw Earl D. Maye push a woman into a wall with his hands around her neck.
The woman said he and Maye had been arguing all day, the report said. She said May had been upset and intoxicated.
She said Maye had hit, slapped and pushed her, according to the report. Maye said he did place his hands on the woman out of self defense.
He gave officers multiple answers as to how the woman had been injured, the report said. At one point, he said he had "no idea" why her skin was red or scratched.
Maye is charged with battery - intentionally touching or striking.
His next scheduled court date is July 8.

Ben Foster's journey as a developer and technology aficionado
My name is Ben Foster. I am a developer based in the UK. I particularly enjoy working with Microsoft .NET technologies. This blog is all about my journey as a developer and the things I learn along the way. Enjoy!
This morning I have been looking for a better way of formatting code on my blog. Many blogs such as WordPress have plugins that use the SyntaxHighlighter javascript library by Alex Gobatchev.
Well lucky for me, someone has done just that for BlogEngine. You can download the extension here.
Rtur has made if very easy to manage the javascript library settings by encapsulating them into BE extension settings.
The install notes aren't very descriptive so to help others, these are the steps I went through to install the extension.
I've already started adapting the Midnight theme for my site. You can tweak the css inside the syntaxhighlighter_2.1.364/styles directory. If you want to add a new CSS file for your custom theme, you will need to update the extension to provide this as an option:
private void AddCssStyles()
if (_themes != null)
switch (_themes.GetSingleValue("SelectedTheme"))
case "Django":
case "Emacs":
case "FadeToGrey":
case "Midnight":
case "Dark":
The thing I did like about the old code formatter is that it was easier to use within Windows Live Writer.
To use this extension within Windows Live Writer, you just need to switch to source view and wrap your code with the following tags:
<pre class="brush: c-sharp;">private void AddCssStyles()
} </pre>
Tags: syntax highlighting
Categories BlogEngine.NET | Development
One thing I wanted on my blog was too display nicely formatted code snippets. Looking in the extensions section within settings CodeFormatterExtension was enabled. Documentation does seem to be a little scarce in how to actually use it – but eventually I came across this article. So all I needed to do was wrap it in code blocks and it should work right??….wrong (well at least for my theme). I got:
The root cause of this is that the Clarity theme I installed has not been updated to support version 1.5 of BlogEngine.NET – so it does not support widgets and apparently did not support code formatting.
Since I did not have the source for BlogEngine.NET on my machine I opened up BlogEngine.Core.dll in Reflector and thought I would see how the server side formatting was done:
Sure enough looking in PostView.ascx for the standard theme I had:
But in PostView.acsx for my theme, I just had:
To resolve all I did was add the asp:PlaceHolder instead, then found the css in the standard theme style.css and added this to the Clarity theme.
I think I will probably end up creating a theme from scratch based on the standard theme so I can make sure it is fully compatible with the latest version of BE – but for now, at least I have pretty code snippets.

President Obama paints Romney as ignorant of Americans
MIAMI (AP) - Stepping up his criticism of Mitt Romney's caught-on-tape moment, President Barack Obama said Thursday that his Republican rival's comments about voters suggest he doesn't know Americans very well.
"When you express an attitude that half the country considers itself victims, that somehow they want to be dependent on government, my thinking is maybe you haven't gotten around a lot," Obama said at a candidate forum on Spanish-language network Univision.
Obama was speaking a day after the Republican appeared at the same forum and said he was committed to all Americans.
Romney continued to try to clarify his remarks Thursday before an audience of about 250 in Sarasota, where donors paid between $2,500 and $50,000 to meet the Republican nominee.
"I care about every person in America," Romney said. "I know what it takes to help those people and I will."
Obama and Romney were crisscrossing Florida on Thursday, with their travel plans nearly overlapping in Miami. Romney departed the city for fundraisers and a rally in Sarasota only a few hours before Air Force One landed at the same airport.
Obama was attending a fundraiser in Tampa later Thursday where Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder was scheduled to perform. About 85 people were expected at the event, with tickets starting at $20,000 a person.
The Univision forum gave them a chance to chase support from Latinos who vote in large numbers in many of the swing states that will decide the election.
Democrats have traditionally had an advantage with Hispanics, but Obama faced tough questions on his unfulfilled pledge to overhaul the nation's immigration system.
Obama said the lack of immigration reform legislation was his biggest failure as president and "not for a lack of trying or desire."
He said he couldn't find a single Republican to help work on the legislation.
"I'm happy to take responsibility for being naive here," the president said when pressed to admit he broke his promise.
Univision anchor Jorge Ramos interjected, "You promised us, and a promise is a promise. And with all due respect, you didn't keep that promise."
Obama responded that the president is not "all powerful" and needs cooperation.
He argued that he would be a better president for Hispanics than Romney.

press release
An inter-governmental forum bringing together Ministers, national departments, provinces, municipalities and state owned enterprises convened yesterday, 10 December, to launch the Strategic Integrated Project (SIP)13: the National School Build Programme.
The forum aims to coordinate and integrate the actions of all spheres of government and state owned enterprises, in the implementation of the National Infrastructure Plan, as unveiled by President Zuma in his 2012 State of the National Address, and developed by the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC).
The aim of SIP 13 is to consolidate and integrate plans to remove inappropriate and unsafe school structures, upgrade and refurbish existing schools and construct new schools across the country. The school build programme also aims to ensure focus on maintenance of existing and new schools.
Further, the programme seeks to align the provision of services to ensure that all new schools are connected to water, electricity, sanitation, information and communications technology (ICT), good access to roads and bridges, libraries and laboratories.
The forum agreed on the steps to be taken by all stakeholders to implement the SIP as well as appoint interim coordinating agencies. We are satisfied that on all accounts the inter-governmental forum was a success.
The forum was addressed by the Ministers of Basic Education, Public Works and Economic Development who collectively emphasised the need for speed and innovation to eradicate all unsafe and inappropriate schools and to respond to the additional demands.
Going forward, the technical team (made up of Departments of Basic Education, Public Works, the PICC technical team and state owned companies) has been asked to work around the clock to further develop the plan and table a revised programme by January.
The plan should stipulate the scope of work in terms of what will be implemented, when and the cost on a year-on-year basis, starting in 2013. The Development Bank of Southern Africa and the Independent Development Trust were appointed as interim project coordinators to fast track implementation and ensure coherence across all spheres of the state and state owned entities.

President Kibaki has urged Kenyans to embrace peace as they go into the elections. He said a peaceful election will send the right signals to investors.
Kibaki said a peaceful poll is important for tourism as it will boost the country's position as a preferred tourist destination. "A peaceful and just election will send the right signals that we are a people tolerant to different shades of opinion and varying political affiliations," he said.
The President was speaking yesterday when he opened the Sh2 billion Boma Hotel in Nairobi. The hotel is owned by the Kenya Red Cross Society which President Kibaki is the patron.
He commended the leadership of the Kenya Red Cross Society for actively seeking to be financially stable. He said the new hotel will not only supplement the income of the organisation but it will also boost Kenya's tourism.
The President encouraged other non-profit organisations to develop innovative income generating projects in order to by financially independent.
Tourism minister Dan Mwazo and his Special Programmes counterpart Esther Murugi supported the establishment of the hotel, saying it will go a long way in providing the necessary resources for its humanitarian activities. A number of MPs had questioned in Parliament why the Red Cross was engaging in income generating activities.
