Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite P305
Source: PC Mag
Desktop PCs have a lot going for them: big screens, high-performance parts, and comparatively low prices, just to name a few. But if you're working in a smaller space, you don't always have room to squeeze in a whole desktop setup. The P305 incorporates an uncompromising feature set into a very affordable 17-inch widescreen laptop.

Toshiba's new 17-inch Satellite P305 is a well-made, inexpensive desktop replacement, but much more powerful laptops are available for just a little more money.

ATI Radeon Xpress X1270: Built in RS690T chipset and is based on an X700 graphics core (with less pipelines). It features no dedicated graphics memory but Vista Aero support.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

AMD Turion 64 X2: AMD Turion 64 X2 is intended to be positioned against the Intel Core Duo was presented in 17. May 2006. The current consumption is not higher than with Centrino-Duo-notebooks (TL-45 with ATI Xpress and Mobility Radeon X300). This means, that approximative the same battery runtime and fan functions can be expected (with this chipset). However, the performance was 20% below the T2300 (1.66 GHz) due to the lower L2 Cache (Core Duo has 2048 Kbyte shared L2 Cache). Nevertheless, the performance is sufficient.
TL-60: First in 90nm, later in 65nm produced dual-core processor based on the K8 core. Compareable performance to a 1.8 GHz Core Duo CPU with 1MB Level 2 Cache (Celeron Dual Core e.g.).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.9 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.

The Minister of State for Finance, Dr Yerima Ngama, on Thursday in Abuja called for an effective tax management system to help boost the country's economy.
Ngama made the call at the African Tax Forum organised by the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) in collaboration with the International Tax Investment Centre of Washington DC in the U.S.
He said tax remittance in the country was yet to reflect positively on the current economic growth in the country.
According to him, the African continent has witnessed a rise in economic activities in recent years.
The minister said there was the need to research and strategise on innovative ways to improve computation and tax rendition in countries.
"The tax collected in Ghana is about 27 per cent of the country's GDP and, in fact, in most African countries tax collection amount to about 10 per cent of their GDP.
"But in Nigeria, the total tax collected amount to just seven per cent of the GDP. This shows that so many people and companies are not rendering tax returns," he said.
Ngama said Nigeria needed to work on its taxation methods "because what is being collected now is a pittance compared to what can be gotten if we improve on our methods.
"It just has to be like it is being done successfully in the Customs' duty collection, with businesses going online to access it by themselves.
"They then pay through the bank and later reconciliation is done. That can be extended to tax payment as well.
"You don't need the tax collector to be at your door for you to compute and surrender your tax."
Ngama said that government was yet to get some of the informal business transactions into the tax net.
"A lot of economic activities are taking place, but most of it is informal. And when you have this kind of business structure, it is difficult to collect all the taxes that government is supposed to collect.
"But we have had a lot of improvements. Five years ago 54 per cent of the business that took place in this country was informal, but today that has been reduced to 46 per cent.
"More people are registering their businesses and adopting the right accounting practices by keeping records of all transactions, thereby making it easier for the tax collectors to do their jobs," he said.
The Acting Chairman, FIRS, Alhaji Kabir Mashi, said the meeting was aimed at partnering with international experts such as the International Tax Investment Centre.
"The ultimate aim is to help Africa improve on its tax collection," he said.
Mashi said the forum would help countries learn best practices and how best to improve on task collection.
"Nigeria has its own peculiarity, but the bottomline is how does this generate more revenue for the various governments to execute their day-to-day projects.
"Nobody wants to pay tax. So, the taxpayer wants to minimise the tax he is supposed to pay and the tax collector wants to see that everything that is expected is paid.
"This is why we have come together to deliberate as a team on how to improve by tapping from successes from other countries and improving on them," he said.
Dr Daniel Witt, the President of the International Tax Investment Centre, said the key lesson for Africa was to understand that the engine to economic growth was the private sector.
He said the forum's focus would be on how best to harness the activities of government and the private sector to ensure effective tax remittance in Africa.
"What we are going to be teaching is how to set some of the fundamental role for the country's private sector on how best to manage its tax policy," he said.

Free Malaysia Today reported on 29-09-2010 about "Cases involving the Petaling Jaya City Municipal Council (MBPJ) are being given to a law firm where two PKR leaders R Sivarasa and Latheefa Koya, a MBPJ councilor, work." In fact, this was an open secret within the Selangor government for at least a good one year. I am surprised that it took so long for this to surface into the open. (more…)

This afternoon the good news came that my blog been successfully revived! That's why this happy news.
I am so relieved because a lot of work has gone into this blog and there's so much information here. What's even more crucial is the next session of Parliament is just round the corner and references to old postings are necessary.

Justice for TBH-2! — Protest against The Innocent Man in Pandamaran, Klang!

About 10.30 a.m. this morning (Sunday, 19 September 2010) at Pandamaran, Klang there was a public protest by local residents and supporters of Tee Boon Hock clamouring for Ronnie Liu to resign! The 'innocent man' is more trouble than a boon to the rakyat of Pandamaran it seems. The placards speak for themselves.
Is it ominous or what? A picture (below) was found submerged in a puddle of water among dirt. Perhaps it is foretelling the sign of a man drowning or simply it is "Good riddance to pure rubbish!"

Being hit with a Taser stun gun in the chest can lead to cardiac arrest and death, according to a new study.
The research by Douglas Zipes, a heart specialist at the Krannert Institute of Cardiology in Indianapolis, Indiana, was based on records he acquired as a plaintiff's expert witness in a number of lawsuits involving US police use of the controversial stun gun. Zipes examined eight cases between 2006 and 2009 in which "previously clinically healthy males" aged between 16 and 48 lost consciousness during or after tasings, when one or both of the current-carrying darts were lodged "near or over the heart". Seven of them died.
In each case, Zipes analysed how long each shock lasted and cardiac responses measured by paramedics, when available (Circulation, DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.112.097584 or bit.ly/stundeath). He found that 50,000-volt stuns to the chest can induce irregular heartbeats that lead to cardiac arrest.
The study will fuel opposition to the weapon, which Amnesty International says has now been associated with over 500 deaths in the US. The US National Institute of Justice recently posted videos advocating caution in the way police use Tasers and pointing out that they are not meant to be fired at the chest.
The weapon's maker, Taser International of Scottsdale, Arizona, is disputing Zipes's peer-reviewed findings, saying there are "key facts that contradict the role of the Taser device" in all eight cases.

Hi Albedo,
You mentioned about how high doses of folic acid and selenium promoted tumor growth. What would be considered a high dose of selenium? My wife is currently taking 200mg a day of selenium and has had breast and colon cancer in the past so is this a concern?
Out There
Hi Out There. I do recollect concerns for folic and benfotiamine (in this thread) but not for selenium. Please search on the web and talk to your doctor and/or oncologist. There is lot of information on
effects of selenium (and would not exceed 200 mg),
this study abstract
points to benefits against
so supplementation might be good choice.

albedo (2/14/2011)
Hoping for some critics I just wish to let you know I cut by 4 the carnosine recommended dose in LEF formula (1000 mg). I understand that according to LEF a dose less than 1000 mg might be ineffective but I do not wish to take risks with large doses of benfotiamine.
Any critics on this?
Hello albedo, I will present my thoughts on all this: Moderation in all things is best in most cases [ not all cases for everyone at all times], including any and all supplements, exercise and such. Too much of anything is generally BAD for anyone. Our species, people, evolved in an environment that did not include excessive amounts of any particular nutrient.
Never the less: I do see life enhancing value in supplements. But what is the ideal dosage for all the different people ? Hopefully, in this forum, we can find some guidance about all this amongst each other.
Also, importantly: the knowledge base has grown exponentially in the last 50 years or so about all this and many new and important discoveries have been made and investigated. It is an ongoing process with many questions left unanswered and new ones appearing, arising constantly.
The goal is life extension and enhancement. We wish to live a long time with a youthful physical body. Eternal Youth the ultimate goal.
Some risks including cancer are associated with excessive amounts of some supplements. There is a growing body of evidence that BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] taken in small dosages [ 100mg to 400mg ] per day REDUCES the risk to many cancers in a very many mice studies beginning with Dr. Denham Harman`s back in the 1950s and 1960s.
I also only very recently ran across some important discoveries being look into by some Canadians and others about a compound with very promising results as a treatment for many cancers and maybe all cancers. I will dig up a link to all that now and post it here:
How can the importance of this discovery be overstated ? Yet, it remains IGNORED, by conventional medicine and the alternatives community. You hear, read very little about it. How can this be ? That article answers that question very well. Please do read it. ...syntax

I've found a abstract report here
which states AGES/RAGE may be a cause of tumors in the first place because they sustain autophagy and limits apoptosis.
So Benfotiamine may be good because it inhibits AGE/RAGE, but on the other hand there is this thiamin tumor study. Which state Benfotiamine may promote tumor development by shuttling glucose through the pentose pathway.
So now I'm even more confused, but have decided to supplement with LEF's recommendation of 400-500mg daily.
It would be great if Dr. Smith or somebody with obviously more brains than me gave their opinion in the matter.

Good or bad? This is definitely on the good side:
"Powerful beneficial effects of benfotiamine on cognitive impairment and β-amyloid deposition in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin-1 transgenic mice"
What I found particularly interesting (but did not read the fully study, sorry) is the apparently uniqueness of benfotiamine vs all other thiamine derivatives.

What I find strange in the following study, when comparing with the link posted above (post#3878) is that, while clearly confirrming better absorption than thiamine, benfotiamine apparently shows no increase of thiamine in the brain
"Our results show that oral administration of benfotiamine leads to significant increases in thiamine, ThMP and ThDP levels in blood, liver but not in the brain. This difference is in agreement with the known pharmacological profile of benfotiamine, i.e. the beneficial effects of the drug concern peripheral tissues but not the central nervous system. Like disulfide derivatives, benfotiamine may be useful for the treatment of acute peripheral syndromes of thiamine deficiency because it is better absorbed than thiamine, but in contrast to sulbutiamine, it seems to be devoid of specific effects on brain function."

Liam & Aine Mulchay - Dublin
Four of us had a lovely time here over the last three weeks and the apartment was very clean, modern and well presented and very centrally located.- with easy access to all the shops and amenities. We had a great time overall and would be happy to recommend it to other and will probably return again our selves in due course.
12 Fantastic Nights! : April 2014
Jan and John Fletcher - Preston Lancs
We have just returned from this super apartment, having spent 12 fantastic nights there with our family. The apartment is very spacious and probably the best equipped apartment we have stayed in. The complex is in a great location with easy access to everything and the complex is beautifully maintained. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
Just Lovely! : July 2013
Niamh & Jim Lynott - Dublin
We stayed in this lovely apartment mid July to mid August 2013. The main terrace is very spacious and faces the pool, it has a lovely large open aspect & a fab breeze coming off the sea. Just fab and especially in summer, it is like an extra room and a lovely place to sit, read and chat with friends. Two of the bedrooms share the second terrace- so our teen girls had there own space- great for them & us! Phill and Martine are very helpful and friendly and very easy to work with. Makes for a very pleasant experience, on top of the fact that the apartment is clean, well laid out, has every thing you need in a lovely secure gated complex with beautiful grounds. Just Lovely!
Up to our expectation! : June 2013
Graham & Marie Heathfield - Southampton, England.
We had a family of six stay for the first two weeks of June. The apartment lived up to our expectation. The place was very clean and had all the mod cons. The TV had English BBC and ITV so the kids were happy. I would stay there again the next time we go to Marbella. Thanks again to Phill and Martine for the stay.
Fantastic Apartment! : July 2012
Diane & Phil Lester - Mytchett, Surrey.
We stayed at the end of May and could not have asked for any more than we received with this fantastic apartment. The apartment is of a really high standard, the surroundings lovely, with a big choice of clean pools in use. The owners go out of their way to help make the stay easy and extremely homely. We will definitely be booking again!
Fabulous Apartment! : July 2012
Terri Smith - Hetton-Le-Hole
I have just spent a great week away with the girls at this fabulous apartment. We stayed 17th-24th June. We were so pleased on our arrival to find how beautiful the apartment is. It has all mod cons and a great location (10 mins in a taxi to Puerto Banus). Three spacious bedrooms, perfect for four girls with too much clothes/ shoes! It has a huge balcony, perfect for having breakfast in the sun. There are two pools right on the doorstep and a few others further up the complex. We loved that the premises had security, fully gated and a guard patrolling. Also there were lifeguards on duty daily. We had a great time and hopefully we will return again soon! Thanks again Phill for the lovely apartment and all your help planning our trip!!
Great Value for Money! : January 2011
David Golf Weekend - England
Five of us just spent a long weekend at this great apartment playing golf and enjoying playing golf and enjoying the local culture. I would recommend this modern, well presented, clean and centrally located apartment to anyone looking for accommodation that sleeps six comfortably and has sufficient room for six big chaps and six large sets of golf clubs. Great value for money will use again.
5 STAR : September 2010
Heather Bowling - Huddersfield
During the month of August me and five friends spent a week at the apartment and thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the décor of the apartment and communal areas were immaculate. and were very secure in terms of gated access, including electric gates on the entrance with a vehicle. The two pool areas were very clean and well kept, there was a life guard present at all times whilst the pool was open. The furniture on the terrace was lovely for breakfast in the mornings, and another nice touch was the apartment's position which took advantage of the sunshine at this time, which made breakfast even more enjoyable. The beds in the apartment are very comfy as in the living area which features a 'L' shaped sofa fitting upto six people on! The apartment has satellite TV, we found this to be a homely touch, waking up to GM TV whilst making breakfast. There is lift access which is useful when arriving and leaving with suitcases, however being on the first floor we used the stairs for the duration of our holiday. The apartment is very well positioned and easy walking distance to San Pedro for local amenities such as, the supermarket, bars and typical Spanish restaurants. We regularly visited Puerto Banus during the evenings and the taxi cost about fifteen euros each way for a four seater taxi. The apartment is in walking distance of San Pedro beach, this took around thirty minutes walking at a steady pace. We would recommend this apartment to every type of holidaymaker and the apartment exceeded our expectations in every sense and we plan to return to the apartment on our next visit to Marbella. The owners made booking and the lead up to the holiday most enjoyable, answering all questions we had to ask about the apartment and surrounding areas. We thank them both for a very memorable holiday to Marbella, it was our first visit and it certainly won't be our last.
A Very nice holiday. : August 2010
Jim and Mandy Brown - UK
We have just arrived back from a weeks stay at the apartment, and found it to be clean, spacious and very comfortable. We were particularly pleased to find that each pool had its own life guard that watched it all day long. The location was perfect, away from the main roads, but two minutes from the town centre and ten minutes from beautiful beaches! A very nice holiday.
We will definitely be returning! : July 2010
Malcolm Watson - East Yorkshire
We enjoyed two weeks at this superb apartment! Every thing we could need was provided- as advertised on this web site, and the owner could not have been more helpful and efficient. We will certainly recommend this to any one, it is spacious, smart, quiet, private, secure and has excellent pool areas (with lifeguards) It is conveniently located particularly if you like golf!! We will definitely be returning!
We shall return! : September 2009
Sadouk Nisrine - Tunis Morocco.
I crossed (spent) of very maids vacances. The apartment is luxurious and equipped well. The residence is very peace. I advise to every body to go there! We shall return to it, certainly.
We have booked for next year!! : August 2009
Jane and Peter Scarff - West Midlands
We have been regular holiday visitors to the Costa Del Sol for many years and can safely say this is by far the best apartment we have stayed in. It is huge, very well equipped and in a great location. All the bedrooms are very spacious and having the added benefit of each having their own terrace as well as their own bathroom. We also loved the wall mounted plasma TV. Puerto Banus is a five minute taxi ride and Benhavis with its lovely restaurants is only a ten minute drive. We have booked for next year!!

We're accustomed to having all sorts of movers and shakers in the automotive world pop into the Automobile offices on occasion, but it's not every day the reigning Formula 1 world champion walks through our doors. Yet that's exactly what happened on Monday, when Sebastian Vettel – fresh off his win at the Montreal Grand Prix – stopped by to say hello.
Our time with the Infiniti/ Red Bull Racing star was fleeting, but Automobile President and Editor-in-chief Jean Jennings still managed to talk to Vettel about beating Ferrari in Canada, working with Infiniti's road cars, and the inevitable comparison to Michael Schumacher.

Hmmm the fog of politics descends again
NCA Votes Against Committee To Investigate Attacks on U.S. Embassy
By Paul Rosenfeld | Nov 9 2012April 9 ,Commission for Investigation ,Ennahdha ,National Constituent Assembly (NCA) ,September 14 attack ,
The National Constituent Assembly (NCA) voted Wednesday against a proposal to form a committee to investigate the events surrounding the September 14 attack on the U.S. Embassy.
Najib Hosni, a member of the opposition Freedom and Justice bloc, proposed the committee, but his efforts fell short of the necessary 109 votes over concerns that the NCA was not equipped to handle the investigation.
Support and opposition for the proposal crossed party lines, and the vote ultimately came down to political wrangling between the executive and legislative branches of government.
Investigating what happened at the embassy is very important, said Ikbel Msadaa, a representative of the Congress for the Republic party. But the decision should be interpreted in its context. It's not a political issue.
Under Tunisia's current political structure, the NCA cannot access necessary and reliable information to effectively investigate the incident, Msadaa said.
The Constituent Assembly launched a similar commission to investigate the events of April 9, when police assaulted both civilians and journalists after a protest on Habib Borguiba turned violent. That investigation took months to begin and ultimately yielded no meaningful results, according to Msadda.
After the failures of the April 9 committee, some members voted against Wednesday's proposal, feeling that committees were being used by the government to bury the truth and not reveal it, said Issam Chabi, a member of the opposition party Jomhouri who voted for Wednesday's proposal.
Some NCA members said they hoped Wednesday's vote only postponed the investigation into the events at the Embassy until a permanent investigative committee could be devised under more amenable terms.
Mona Ibrahim, a member of Ennahdha who voted for the proposal, said that a potential Defense and Security Committee could deal with future incidents as opposed to the NCA undertaking investigations on a case-by-case basis.
She said that she had voted for Wednesday's proposal in hopes that the investigation would send a message to the world that Tunisia does not condone violence.
She added that she did not foresee the failed proposal harming Tunisian-American relations.
"The decision should have no impact on the relations between the U.S. and Tunisia because everyone has condemned the attack from the beginning," Ibrahim said.

Continual coverage of the trial of Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
6:10 p.m. Jury asks to go home
Judge Edward Burmila told jurors they could go home or keep deliberating, and the jury has requested to go home. Burmila will bring them in to remind them to avoid any media coverage and dismiss them for the night.
6 p.m. Jurors ask about dinner
Judge Edward Burmila said that jurors have asked for dinner.
But Burmila said he is concerned about how long the day has been for the jury, noting a recent conviction in Will County was overturned after an appellate court found they were made to deliberate for an excessive length of time.
The defense suggested that the court simply let them know that they have the option to continue or resume deliberations tomorrow, but prosecutors said the jurors have made their intentions known.
"Clearly they have communicated their desire to continue," Assistant State's Atty. Chris Koch said.
Burmila sent jurors a note asking if they would like to continue deliberating or stop and resume in the morning.
Jurors sent a note back to Burmila asking, "If we want to resume deliberations tomorrow, will we go home or will we stay somewhere?"
3:25 p.m. Deliberations resume
Transcripts have been read and jurors have resumed their deliberations.
3 p.m. Defense objects to transcript reading
For the second time, the defense has objected and requested a sidebar during the reading of the Harry Smith transcript.
In both instances, Joel Brodsky complained that the court reporter skipped over a portion of the transcript.
In the second objection, Brodsky objected to court reporter leaving out one of his questions to Smith that the state objected to at the time because it was a compound question. Burmila sustained the objection.
Burmila wondered why a question that was stricken due to a sustained objection should be read again.
"You asked a question. The state objected, and I sustained the objection. Why would we read that to the jury?" Burmila said.
"I'm sorry. I know that question was asked. You just asked me to ask it a different way," Brodsky mumbled.

Puig homers, but then strikes out twice in loss
San Diego Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig homered on his first swing at Petco Park, giving him six overall and three against the Padres since his big league debut on June 3.
But crafty veteran Jason Marquis wasn't about to give Puig anything else to hit, striking out the phenom on sliders in his next two at-bats as the Padres went on to beat the Dodgers 6-3 on Thursday night.
"The next time up, he ran a ball off the plate and it seemed to irritate Yasiel," manager Don Mattingly said. "He started swinging out of the strike zone. He chased a ball in, then he chased a breaking ball. The rest of the night, he wasn't going to give in to him. Yasiel has been fairly patient. Tonight, he was a little bit more aggressive out of the strike zone."
Puig, a 22-year-old Cuban defector, drove a fastball from Marquis an estimated 406 feet into the sandy play area beyond the fence in right-center with one out in the first in his 58th big league at-bat.
Puig's average dropped to .452 after he went 1 for 5.
Puig made his big league debut June 3 against the Padres, hitting two singles and making a strong throw from right field to first to complete a game-ending double play in a 2-1 Dodgers victory.
The next night, he hit two homers and drove in five runs as the Dodgers rallied to beat the Padres 9-7.
In his third game, he went 0 for 3 with a strikeout against Marquis.
Mattingly said he told hitting coach Mark McGwire that "I hadn't seen him swing and miss this much. He's a quick learner. He'll make adjustments quick. He'll understand."
Padres newcomer Pedro Ciriaco tripled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and hit a two-run homer in the eighth.
The Padres, who had three terrific defensive plays, won for the eighth time in 10 games and popped above .500 for the second time this season.
The Dodgers, who've been in last place in the NL West since May 6, have lost eight of 11.
It was L.A.'s first visit to Petco Park since the teams brawled on April 11 after Zack Greinke hit Padres slugger Carlos Quentin with a pitch. Quentin rushed the mound and slammed into Greinke, breaking the pitcher's left collarbone. Greinke is scheduled to start Saturday night.
The Padres had impressive catches against consecutive batters in the seventh. Retreating second baseman Logan Forsythe made a sprawling catch of Mark Ellis' blooper and left fielder Chris Denorfia tumbled over the low wall along the line to catch a foul ball by pinch-hitter Elian Herrera.
In the eighth, Padres center fielder Alex Amarista made a great diving catch of Juan Uribe's sinking liner.
Ciriaco, acquired from the Boston Red Sox last Friday, capped his big night with a homer to left off Peter Moylan with one out in the eighth for a 6-2 lead. It was his first with the Padres and second overall.

Masvingo Bureau — ABOUT 400 000 villagers in Masvingo require food assistance amid fears that the province might have another poor harvest next year owing to erratic rains. Nearly 75 percent of the staple maize crop was written off in the last farming season due to drought.
The 2012/2013 farming season has started on a bad note with erratic rains hampering preparations across the province.
Zaka has the highest number of people starving with about 150 000 people in need of food relief.
Masvingo Governor and Resident Minister Titus Maluleke recently said Government would intensify efforts to move grain to hunger stricken villagers under the Grain Loan scheme.
Government, he said, would ensure that no one starves.
He urged GMB to set up more satellite depots and deliver grain to hunger-stricken villages.
"There is a serious food shortage in the province with the worst affected districts being those in the southern parts of Masvingo such as Zaka, Mwenezi, Chiredzi and Chivi," said Governor Maluleke.
"But as Government we will make sure that all the hunger-stricken villagers receive food assistance under the Grain Loan Scheme.
"We want to assure our people that as Government we do not want to see anyone starving. We are going to make sure that grain moves to all the cornersof the province."
He said Government would continue developing irrigation schemes in Masvingo and shift from over dependence on rain-fed agriculture.
"We are going to continue to push our people to shift to small grains and also develop more irrigation schemes because the changing weather patterns have been causing droughts, especially in Masvingo more frequently over the past 10 years," he said.
In most districts, farmers are yet to prepare their land and plant crops because of erratic rains since the beginning of the rainy season.
Zimbabwe Farmers Union regional manager Mr Jeremiah Chimwanda said only 40 percent of the total arable land has been planted in the province so far due to poor and erratic rains.
"The erratic rains have severely affected farming preparations and out of the total arable land in Masvingo, about 40 percent has so far been put under crops with farmers in other areas still waiting for rains to enable them to prepare the land," he said.
Mr Chimwanda urged farmers who have not yet planted to select short season crop varieties as the main agricultural season was almost midway.

Salesforce.com to Offer Companies Social-Network Data Sifting
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Salesforce.com Inc., the largest seller of online customer-management software, is working on technology to help corporate clients sift through social-network traffic to track what potential customers are saying.
The company may add the products through internal efforts or through acquisitions, Chief Scientist JP Rangaswami said today in an interview in Munich. That would allow Salesforce to add to a lineup that includes Social Marketing Cloud, which enables companies to react to messages such as tweets sent by users of Twitter Inc.'s network.
"Lots of devices, lots of people on the network means lots of noise," Rangaswami said. "The next generation of value is, what is the smartest way to create filters? How do you know which of all these tweets to listen to?"
Chief Executive Officer Marc Benioff is expanding Salesforce's offering beyond Web-based software for managing sales and customer service to include social-media tools that track customer preferences and connect clients' staff directly with potential buyers. Salesforce has won contracts provide such tools to companies including Toyota Motor Corp., Burberry Group Plc and Coca Cola Co., Rangaswami said.
Salesforce, which is based in San Francisco, had to cut the price of the first version of its Chatter internal business-collaboration platform to $15 a user per month from $50 to gain more customers, Benioff said last year. Chatter will be able to command higher prices as services are added, such as temporary subscriptions to content such as messages regarding a specific customer problem, Rangaswami said today.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Remember who voted to ruin the superintendent's elected office
Feb 12, 2013 - Joanne Vandersill, Riverton
Here are the local Fremont County legislators who voted to destroy the office of state superintendent and to try to ruin career of the person we all elected to do that job:
Eli Bebout
Lloyd Larsen
Patrick Goggles
Rita Campbell
They voted to ignore the wishes of the voters and will of the people. This is mean, unfair and outrageous. Now the state is being sued over it on top of everything else.
I do not always agree with Rep. Dave Miller of Riverton and Sen. Cale Case of Lander, but they did have the common sense and decency to vote "no" on SF104.
Remember what Bebout, Larsen, Goggles and Campbell did if and when they run for re-election.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 2, 2013
Board of Natural Resources authorizes new Teanaway Community ForestState acquisition protects 50,000 acre watershed in Kittitas County
OLYMPIA – The Board of Natural Resources today gave its unanimous approval to the $97 million acquisition of 50,000 acres of forested watershed in Kittitas County. The Board also approved the designation of the property as the Teanaway Community Forest, making it the initial property to be managed under the Washington State Department of Natural Resources' (DNR's) Community Forest Program.
"Today's vote is great news for all who have worked so hard for years to protect and restore this cherished landscape for future generations to enjoy," said Peter Goldmark, Commissioner of Public Lands. "The Community Forest Trust program will prove to be a remarkable tool to protect Washington's working forests from conversion, and support the communities that treasure the values they provide."The acquisition of the Teanaway property, located north of Cle Elum, was approved by the 2013 Legislature, which also appropriated $87 million for the purchase. Last month, the Board of Natural Resources approved a loan of $10 million from DNR's Real Property Replacement Account to complete the purchase of the commercial timber property. The creation of the Teanaway Community Forest is a key element in the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan, a long-planned project to increase water availability for agriculture, development, and instream flow for vital watershed habitats across the Yakima River Basin. The purchase also will protect habitat for threatened species, including the northern spotted owl, and safeguard public access for recreation on a cherished local landscape.The Washington State Legislature directed DNR to manage the property as a Community Forest in consultation with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
DNR… caring for your natural resourcesDNR manages more than 5.6 million acres of state-owned forest, range, commercial, agricultural, conservation, and aquatic lands. More than half of these lands are held in trust and produce income to support public schools, universities, prisons, and other state institutions. Lands managed by DNR provide other public benefits, including outdoor recreation, habitat for native fish and wildlife, and watersheds for clean water.

First News Fall 2006
Business Feature - Colfax County
Fine Art in the Heart of Cimarron
Many of the gallery artists have been featured in magazines such as Southwest
Art Magazine, International Artist Magazine, and Wildlife. Recent shows
displayed the art of such well-known artists as J.D. Challenger, Sean Conrad,
Doug and Sharon Quarles, and J.K. Lamkin. In addition to artists' openings,
several annual events draw big crowds such as the Memorial Day Juried Art Show,
which kicks off the season, and the Annual Black Tie Blue Jean Art Scholarship
Auction. The auction is the social event of the year where people dress up in
black tie yet, all cowboys need to feel comfortable (thus the jeans!). Ladies
enjoy the chance to dress to the nines, and many do. The auction includes live
music, food, drinks and most importantly affordable, fabulous art! Artists have
the choice to receive half the purchase price or donate their proceeds to the
scholarship fund. This year members of the Texas Top Guns will mingle among the
audience. Many have backgrounds in television and movies, while others draw
their experience as actual working cowboys, dressed in authentic Old West
costumes, and are always entertaining.
Another important aspect of the Buffalo Nickel is to support the artists
affiliated with the gallery, young artists in the community, and the educational
pursuits of aspiring or advanced artists through workshops. This year's
workshops will include sculpture and painting, and there is an effort to
schedule photography workshops also. The instructors are well-known, developed
artists who are excellent instructors. They must be proven in their area of
expertise, and be able to impart their experience and passion so students
consider the workshops a valuable experience.

of this country.
Now they will call me a "namak haram" because I went to Doon School and St Stephen's College and I am trashing my own kind. They deserve it. Their snobbish elitist education has made them arrogant, inaccessible, insensitive and devoid of any humanity or humility. Just because they received a Western education, they think they know their country. Superficially, they may know urban India but they are clueless about rural Bharat.
Alvin Toffler, in his book Future Shock, said, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be someone who cannot read or write. It will be someone who is not prepared to learn, unlearn and relearn." In the 40 years that I have lived and worked with the rural poor in Rajasthan, what have I learnt that I did not manage to make my own kind "unlearn and relearn"?
It was not for want of trying. What did the prime minister, the deputy chairman of the Planning Commission and finance minister of the decimated UPA government have in common? They were all "educated" abroad. They were all for subsidising the rich and cutting subsidies for the poor. They had no idea about real poverty and hunger and how the rural poor survived, expecting the whole country to be gullible enough to believe that the rural poor today could survive on Rs 27 per day.
Out of sheer ignorance of rural realities and showing extremely poor political judgement, the three of them almost managed to strangle the MGNREGA. The MGNREGA prevented migration by the millions into cities. The bungling and corruption by village officials notwithstanding, the rural poor now have more money to spend on food, clothing, housing and essentials. So, of course, prices will go up.
The prime minister is evidently serious about improving the quality of life of the rural poor, as he eloquently stated in his speech on Independence Day. So what are the out of the box solutions that need to be considered urgently?
The MGNREGA should stay with "Modi-fications". Pay minimum wages, which the Congress's three armchair foreign-returned economists so stubbornly and unethically refused to do, in spite of a high court order. Make it more transparent and accountable, take action against corrupt officials exposed in social audits to set an example. Pass the public grievance bill in Parliament as soon as possible. Call a meeting of respected grassroot practitioners across political ideologies who know the MGNREGA from the village level and follow up on their recommendations.
The focus has to be on innovative job creation in the rural areas. Provide 100 days of employment at minimum wages to construct low-cost toilets for girls and rooftop rainwater harvesting tanks for drinking water, tree plantations and flush toilets in rural schools by the thousands. Construct rural godowns to store food grains instead of letting nearly 5 million tonnes of grain just rot in the open. Start community colleges on Gandhian lines instead of sending delegations of "experts" on education to study the American model. There are enough indigenous examples to …continued »

45-year-old Blaine Woman Dead
This morning a 45-year-old woman was shot and killed inside her own home in Blaine.
Her husband, 47-year-old Gary Tomassoni, and 14-year-old son were the only other people home at the time. The son called 911 to report that a male intruder had shot the woman.
Police conducted a full search of the area, but later arrested the husband.
Nearly everyone at the Metro Gun Club in Blaine knew the victim, who worked there as a part-time cashier for the past couple of years.
"She pretty much brought the life here. I always enjoyed working with her," said employee Roxxi Kroschel.

A successful lung transplant depends on:
- Properly evaluating the person receiving the donated lung
- Properly matching the lung donor to the person receiving the lung to assure compatibility between them
- Expertise in the surgical procedures needed to remove the failing lung and replace it with a donated lung
- Expertise in transplant medicine to ensure the health of the transplanted lung and manage any potential complications such as rejection or infections.
To measure the quality of care provided to lung transplant patients, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center examines one-month, one-year and three-year survival rates.
The table below highlights both the numbers and percentages of lung transplant patients surviving one month, one year and three years.
In addition, survival rates for lung transplant patients at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are also compared to survival rates expected for lung transplant patients with similar ages and health conditions. These data are reported to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Our results at Cedars-Sinai are not statistically significantly different than expected and reflect the high risk patients that we have elected to transplant. We are committed to excellence in the care we provide to our patients and are willing to consider lung transplantation in patients that other centers consider to be too high risk for this procedure.

our mission
What sets us apart from other natural skin care companies is the belief that you should only pay for healthy beneficial ingredients rather than a bunch of fillers like water, emulsifiers, thickeners, preservatives and other harmful ingredients.
I once read a statement that caught me off guard; "put on your skin only what you would put in your mouth." There I was spending tons of time learning about and preparing healthy whole foods to nourish the bodies of those I loved and yet it never occurred to me that what went on our skin was just as important. Even the nicotine patch people know skin absorbs what is put on it.
I began to research the most effective ingredients for nourishing skin. After researching the ingredients list of lots of "natural" skin care products I wondered why skin care needed to be so complicated. Who has time for a 5 step cleansing/moisturizing regime? Was the long list of ingredients necessary to achieve beautiful glowing skin? Believing that using only beneficial active ingredients was the key to healthy radiant skin, my kitchen became my laboratory, my blender; my test tube. Nourish was born. I loved the results!
My sister's children suffered from eczema. I gave some to them and they loved how it soothed their eczema. The name came so easily; Nourish was perfect. Because all our ingredients came from the BLOOM of the plant, our company name just, well...bloomed!
What sets us apart from other natural skin care companies is the belief that you should only pay for healthy beneficial ingredients rather than a bunch of fillers like water, emulsifiers, thickeners, preservatives and other harmful ingredients.
If you were to look at the ingredients list of most personal care products, you would find water as the first ingredients. Water breeds mold and bacteria when mixed with other ingredients in the same way a grapefruit will mold on the counter but if you dehydrate it it will last indefinitely. To inhibit the growth of mould and bacteria, a powerful preservative is needed. The term "parabens" (a preservative) have received a lot of bad press, with good cause. New non-paraben preservatives are being created so companies can claim they are "paraben-free." The problem with these new preservative is that they are actually a cocktail of "naturally-derived" ingredients along with harmful toxic preservatives. Just because something began as a natural ingredient doesn't mean it ended up being one.
We've all learned in chemistry class that water and oils don't mix. Well, they do in the cosmetic world if you add an emulsifying wax. Emulsifiers suspend oil molecules in water which results in a creamy consistency at the cost of adding toxins. All these additives or fillers are cheap ingredients, have no benefit to the skin, and are either absorbed into the blood stream or remain on the surface of the skin to be washed away by harsh cleansers. In our years of research, we have found one must dig deep to understand what is really in products and how to understand each ingredient. Lots of companies claim that they have healthy ingredients but once we dug deep we discovered that isn't usually the case. We love that you can trust every one of our ingredients and we are shouting it from the mountain top...or on our website.
Experience skin care in a whole new way!
We never test on animals. We recycle + compost and hope you do too.

The U.S. government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided US$9.1million grant, directly to the Liberia Electricity Corporation to expand the electricity grid in Monrovia, including the Sinkor-Tubman Boulevard route.
The Management of the Liberia Electricity Cooperation (LEC) and the United States Embassy near Monrovia signed the grant agreement for the expansion of electricity at the LEC Head Office on Thursday, December 6, 2012.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, US Ambassador accredited to Liberia, Deborah Malac described the agreement as important in several ways, adding that it will provide funding directly to the corporation.
She said the US government's willingness to provide direct funding to the LEC reflects its confidence in the capacity of the current management there. Ambassador Malac noted that the responsibility to manage the funds will further strengthen the LEC's ability to manage complex, large scale activities.
Ambassador Malac, who signed the agreement on behalf of the United States government, noted that her government is working closely with the government of Norway to support LEC's accelerated Transmission and distribution project.
The US envoy noted that the LEC will receive over US$20 million from both Norway and the United States to significantly increase the number of connections, while improving the technical capacity in the energy sector.
She applauded the Government of Norway for being a major partner to the Liberian government and the US government. The Liberia Electricity Cooperation Chief Executive Officer Shahid Mohammad, said the expansion will cover the remaining parts of Monrovia that have not benefited from energy.
Signing the agreement on behalf of the Government of Liberia, Acting Finance Minister, Dr. James Kollie, said government appreciates the partnership with the U.S. and Norwegian governments in the energy sector.
Dr. Kollie, who arrived at the program very late after the US Ambassador and other foreign officials were seated, awaiting him for over 45 minutes, noted that the only way government can move the country's development forward was through the provision of cheap electricity. Dr. Kollie noted that Liberians are yielding for electricity and it is necessary for government to focus on the reduction of energy in Liberia.

Christine Martin-Schraa
When Christine Martin-Schraa decided to return to school after 20 years, she had a lot to think about. She was afraid that it would be too difficult to make the return, she was nervous about fitting in and was worried she didn't have the skills to succeed.
"I knew it was going to be a significant commitment, and I wondered if I could do it. I just decided it was important to me," she said. "It was the one thing that I really never finished."
Christine attends classes online and at the UW Oshkosh Campus through the Center for New Learning, which offers accelerated degree programs for adult students.
She is working towards a Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) in Leadership and Development and says campus services and the makeup of her program helped her address her fears and be successful.
Christine's first main fear, the fear of not being familiar with the university environment, was the first one she addressed.
"The ANSR (Adult Nontraditional Student Resource) Office was my first contact," Christine said. "I didn't' know where to go or where to start. I just didn't know how to begin my education again.
"They helped me plan my actions step-by-step and helped me through the initial processes to build my confidence so I can be more independent down the road," she said.
Christine's second source of worry was her fear of not fitting in.
"I was afraid I was going to be the oldest person in the class, and that I would not be able to relate to the other students."
But this wasn't the case. Christine chose a program at UW Oshkosh that is specifically designed for adult learners. "It was really cool that in my first class, the age range was from mid 20's to 62," Christine said.
Her third and largest obstacle was her lack of self-confidence in her ability to succeed in school.
"I was very concerned that I would not have the ability to focus," Christine said. "I asked myself, 'Do I really want to do this again? Do I feel capable of being able to have that discipline and do the coursework?'
"So when I got my first A, it just really affirmed that I made the right decision, and that I was smart enough to be there. It built my confidence significantly."
"This is not how I remember college," Christine said. "Twenty years ago I wasn't aware of the services. Between the professors, the ANSR Office and my academic adviser, I really have been made aware of the campus tools that help me be an adult student."

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
A coroner has called for new laws to be passed after a young driver was killed in a collision with stray horses on the A14.
Thomas Allen, 23, suffered fatal brain injuries when he crashed into the escaped animals near Sproughton while driving home to spend Christmas with his family .
Today's inquest at the Ip-City Centre, heard that the horses had been seen regularly roaming loose on roads in the area, having been left to "fly graze" on land without the owner's permission
Coroner Peter Dean described the tragedy as an "accident waiting to happen" and called for fly grazing to be made illegal to prevent a recurrence of the "dreadful tragedy".
"It's very clear that what took place was an awful tragedy," he said.
"There had been numerous reports of horses on the loose on or near the road or in locations where the potential for an accident was always there."
The horses' owner, Stacy Humphrys, 27, of West Meadows, Ipswich, was jailed for 28 months on March 13, after admitting a public nuisance offence by allowing his animals to stray.
Pc Jeffrey Cribb, giving evidence to the inquest, said Humphrys had been grazing his horses on a sugar beet site without the owner's permission and that the practice, though legal, was a "national problem".
Referring to a report from the National Farmers' Union, Dr Dean said there had been calls for Parliament to make fly grazing a criminal offence and for management plans to be drawn up by police and local authorities.
"The picture here seems to be a recurring problem with potential deficiencies in the legislation that might have enabled it to have been dealt with more swiftly," he said.
Dr Dean, recording a verdict of accidental death, said he would write to police forces and local authorities to "ensure sufficient priority is given to the problem".
He will also write to the secretary of state for environment food and rural affairs asking for fly grazing to be made a criminal office "so that action can be taken swiftly to minimise the chance of such a dreadful tragedy happening again."
Mr Allen, a stock controller from Soham, Cambrideshire, had been travelling with his girlfriend on Christmas Eve 2012 when the accident happened.
Pc Cribb, a forensic collision investigator with Suffolk Constabulary, said the car had been "heavily damaged" with the roof "concertinaed" by the force of the collision, which left three horses dead.
Mr Allen's Vauxhall Corsa had travelled 200ms along the road before his girlfriend grabbed the handbrake.
Following motorists said the road was very dark and that it would have been "impossible" to see the horses approaching.
Pc Cribb said there was no suggestion Mr Allen had been driving inappropriately, under the influence of drink or drugs, or distracted by his mobile phone.
Dr Dean offered his condolences to the family "and all touched by this loss in these very sad circumstances".

The sooner they make fly camping by this rubbish illegal too, nationally, the better.
Thursday, April 10, 2014
Dr Dean said he would write to police forces, well, I hope he has better luck than I did. The matter I raised with an Inspector was met with a "Not our priority" response!
Thursday, April 10, 2014
Its legal? This is a serious issue probably one of the most significant in this area. You would have thought the MPs would have been on this. In the grand scheme of things, this would be a rather simple Bill to write. Mr Gummer has written a book, surely a much more useful bill would be less challenging?
