The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I live in Walnut Creek, supposedly an upscale school district, but like
all districts these days, they are short of funds. When their computer
teacher told me she was very worried about the cost of Microsoft
products, I mentioned OpenOffice. She was aware of it, but refused to
even consider using it. She said, "I don't want to learn anything new."
To me, as a parent in that district, that was an amazingly unpolitic
thing for her to say, but it may be a common attitude.

We may not be world-renowned for our cuisine, but really the UK is a country full of foodies. The summer is the time when we really show it, with food festivals all over the British Isles. If you're looking to book a weekend away, why not centre it around an event where you know there'll be all sorts of delicious goodies to try? Here are some of the top food festivals of this summer:
The spiciest
Chilli Fest UK runs spicy events all over the country, and on the 24th of August, they'll be organising The Great Eastleigh Chilli Festival. The event, which will take place on the Leigh Road Recreation Ground, is free for all, and promises to heat up even the hardiest of chilli eaters. Come try hot sauces, hot dips, chilli jams, pickles, chutneys, chilli cheese, and even chilli cocktails or chilli beer. There will also be chilli merchandise, chilli seeds and chilli plants on sale. Stay in our Eastleigh Central hotel to be within walking distance of the festival and within easy reach of all Southampton has to offer.
The fishiest
Don't worry – there's nothing suspicious about Newlyn Fish Festival, but as its title might suggest, it'll be packed full of seafood. With live cooking demonstrations, lots to taste, a full seafood auction and even a fish display made from the creatures of the Cornwall sea, this festival promises to impress even the most experienced of fishermen. The live entertainment will keep the kids amused too. Head to Cornwall for the last full weekend in August and stay in our Hayle hotel to enjoy the best of the seaside summer.
The smelliest
You really can't get more pungent than 25,000 people eating garlic at once. You're in luck if you typically don't have garlic breath once you've eaten garlic yourself, otherwise The Garlic Festival on the Isle of Wight in the middle of August might not be bearable! As it turns out, it's actually a whole lot of fun, with the unusual mixture of late sixties pop festival ambience, country fair stalls and garlic cuisine. Book a room in our Newport Isle of Wight hotel to experience the unique event for yourself.
The cheesiest
No need to fake smiles at the Big Cheese Festival in Caerphilly – just enjoy the tasty Caerphilly cheese and the happiness it brings you. In fact, anyone will enjoy themselves at the weekend long affair at the end of July in the grounds of Caerphilly castle. Quite apart from the cheese, there will be over 50 Welsh food producers showing their goods, and entertainment including street entertainers, re-enactments, music, a traditional funfair, folk dancing, falconry, minstrels, and much more. Book a room in our Caerphilly hotel to join in the fun!
The rowdiest
With more than 800 types of real ale, cider and perry on offer and 55,000 expected visitors, you can be sure that The Great British Beer Festival will be far from peaceful. But book to stay in our London Fulham hotel for the weekend and you can guarantee you'll have a whale of a time. If you're feeling a little out of your depth, surrounded by all those beer nerds, you can always opt to join one of the tutored tastings that will teach you all you need to know.

Earlier this week, former porn star Aurora Snow wrote a piece for The Daily Beast examining one of porn's final taboos for performers: interracial sex scenes.
The piece was written in reaction to TMZ's revelation that Alexis Texas had never done an interracial sex scene, even though she is one of the biggest stars in the adult industry and has appeared in over 100 films.
Based on the 10,000 porn star study, we know that only 53% of all performers appear in interracial sex scenes. Why are interracial sex scenes still considered to be taboo in this day and age of porn?

Lagos — The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC)has arraigned a suspected fraudster, Adepitan Olawale Opere, alias "skin money" before a Lagos State High Court, sitting in Ikeja for fraudulently collecting the sum of N3.9 million from members of the public.
Opere, who is facing a 30-count charge of obtaining money by false pretence, forgery and impersonation, was arraigned before Justice Lateefa Okunnu.
The anti graft agency told the court that around February 11, 2008 in Lagos, with intent to defraud, the accused obtained the sum of N90,000, from one Anibolo Nkemdilim through his Guaranty Trust Bank account number 9044408081590.
Counsel to the anti-graft agency, Ben Ubi, also
alleged that Opere impersonated by presenting himself as Wale James to defraud one Lisa Womack, a citizen of the United States of America of $1,400.
The defendant was also said to have forged a driver's license. But when the charges were preferred against him, he pleaded not guilty.
He was however granted bail in the sum of N7.5 million with two sureties in like sum.

Not Self Defense Advice Fridays: Didn't Axe Nicely
Ax-Wielding Woman Chases Burglar: "I Hit What I Aim For"
The woman awoke to find a man trying to steal her watch right off her arm, then reached for her ax that she keeps near her bed
A burglar was scared off early Saturday morning when a skilled ax-thrower grabbed the weapon she keeps next to her bed after she felt the man trying to remove her watch from her wrist as she was sleeping.
The burglar, who broke in through a window, had already ransacked other rooms before entering the bedroom. The homeowner awoke Saturday at about 8 a.m. when she felt someone touching her wrist.
"I sat up and screamed," said Robin Irvine. "He was taking my watch off."
That's when Irvine reached down and grabbed her bed-side ax, which leans against a small table, and took aim. Wearing her underwear and T-shirt and harboring no reservations about unleashing the ax, she chased the man down the hall.
"I wouldve gotten him right in the spine or the back of his head," she said. "I hit what I aim for."

Left peaceful Crestone today :(
Part of me wanted to stay, and part of me had to go.
I get restless when I stay somewhere too long, no matter how beautiful.
While back on the road riding and looking at the scenery I started to wonder if I am running from something or toward something. Then a gorgeous scene pops in front of me, and it feels like I am part of a show I am watching, totally connected to the beauty of my surroundings, and it doesn't matter anymore if I am running from or to. The only thing that matters is the amazing nature around me and being able to experience it.
I rode from Crestone to Durango today, and just loved the ride.
Every time I go through a gorgeous area, coming into a city or even town gets harder and harder to handle. I really don't like the noise and crowds. But I can deal with it for just a little while. Have to get some better oil for Spirit, and some batteries for my flash light.
Tomorrow I will ride the million dollar Hwy that Hondo suggested, and hopefully camp at Ridgeway somewhere. I do like that little town.
I just hope that Spirit will be ok on the road into the mountains, she's been stuttering sometimes, like she's not getting any gas.
I wonder if my petcock is causing the trouble or my float. Oh boy, I really do not like trouble, makes it hard to really enjoy oneself!
Of course I thought that West Fest started the 23rd, I have no idea why, so now I am way to early in the Lake George area. I might just head to Kansas for a while to visit a friend.
Thought this was pretty funny, it says "Don't even think of parking here"
Am I awake, or am I dreaming?

People stand at the site of a suicide bombing in Damascus, Syria, Friday, Dec. 23, 2011. (AP Photo/Muzaffar Salman)
BEIRUT: In diametrically conflicting attitudes reflecting the political schism between Lebanon's rival factions, Hezbollah and former Prime Minister Saad Hariri differed sharply Friday over who was responsible for the twin suicide car bombings that targeted security service buildings in the Syrian capital Damascus, killing at least 44 people.
While Hezbollah accused the United States of responsibility for the bombings, calling it the "mother of terrorism," Hariri said the blasts were the work of the regime of Syria's embattled President Bashar Assad.
Syrian officials say at least 44 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in Friday's bombings in Damascus, which they have blamed on Al-Qaeda. The attacks were the first of their kind against the powerful security services in the heart of the capital since unprecedented protests against Assad's regime erupted in mid-March.
The blasts came a day after an advance team of Arab League observers arrived in Damascus to monitor Syria's promise to end its violent crackdown on protesters."These bombings which resulted in the death and injury of dozens of people, mostly women and children, are the specialty of the United States, the mother of terrorism," Hezbollah said in a statement. It accused the U.S. of "specializing in targeting, killing and terrorizing the innocent in order to push them into bowing to the U.S. policy that is seeking to achieve the Zionist interest which the Americans put above any other consideration."
Hezbollah, which is a major ally of Assad, said the timing of the bombings clearly signaled they were an act of revenge for the U.S. "defeat" in Iraq following the withdrawal of its troops from the warn-torn country.
"This horrific terrorist crime committed by the enemies of humanity in the city of Damascus came one day after the coordinated bombings that targeted Baghdad and other Iraqi cities," the statement said. "This signals that the parties that stand to lose from the big defeat inflicted on the United States, which led to the humiliating withdrawal of its troops from Iraq, have begun a cowardly, bloody act of revenge by targeting all forces and states that helped the heroic Iraqi resistance in its Jihad [holy war] to evict the U.S. occupation."
A cold war has been heating up for months between Washington and Hezbollah, with the militant group denouncing the planting of CIA "spies" in its ranks and the U.S. accusing the group of illegal financial and drug dealings in recent weeks.
Commenting on Hezbollah's accusation that the U.S. was behind the Damascus bombings, Hariri, speaking to his supporters on the popular social networking website Twitter, said: "We are at a loss. Is it the specialty of Al-Qaeda or the specialty of America? Something that is really puzzling. I think that the bombings were the work of the Syrian regime."
Asked whether the attacks in Damascus were designed to target Arab observers sent by the Arab League to monitor a League plan to end a nine-month brutal crackdown on protesters, Hariri said: "This is one of the biggest possibilities."
Asked whether Assad, who is facing the most serious threat to his 11-year rule from the popular uprising, was stronger than NATO states, Hariri said: "A weak is the one who kills. This is his end." Hariri and his March 14 allies have come out staunchly in support of Syrian protesters demanding Assad's ouster.
Meanwhile, President Michel Sleiman telephoned Assad to condemn the bombings, saying they were aimed at scuttling Arab efforts to end the crisis in Syria. "The attack, which coincided with the arrival of the advance observer team in Syria, is aimed at disrupting the Arab solution that was agreed upon between Syria and the Arab League," Sleiman said, according to a statement released by his office.
Speaker Nabih Berri sent a cable to Assad condemning the "terrorist bombings" in Damascus and extending his condolences for the victims who fell, the state-run National News Agency said.
Former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, head of Hariri's parliamentary Future bloc, strongly condemned both the Damascus bombings and the Syrian authorities' continued crackdown on protesters.
"The innocent lives that were killed and the blood that was shed are Arab lives and the blood shed is Arab blood. Hence, we strongly condemn these bombings," Siniora said, adding: "We also at the same time condemn the continued fall of scores of martyrs throughout Syria, particularly what happened today and yesterday as a result of a blind crackdown used by Syrian authorities against innocent civilians who are peacefully demanding freedom and dignity."
"This bloody path used in dealing with matters can only harm Syria and all the Arabs," he added, and urged Syrian authorities to comply with the the Arab initiative and ensure freedom for the Arab observers to do their job.

Government sticks to its promise on aid, kind of..
Yesterday the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, delivered the annual 'Autumn Statement' to Parliament. His statement was set against a stark context. The Eurozone is in crisis, UK unemployment is at the highest level for years and is set to rise still further. Budget deficits are leading to the most severe public sector austerity measures in decades.
It is in this light that the Chancellor announced that the UK would be reducing our contributions in overseas development aid by approximately £1.2bn during this Parliament. That is a huge amount of money not to spend on aid.
So why is Aid being cut?
At the 1970 UN General Assembly rich governments agreed to spend at least 0.7% of their gross national product (GDP) per year from 1975. In the run up to the UK General Election in 2010 all of the major political parties in the UK re-committed to spending 0.7% of gross national income (generally a bit less than GDP) on development assistance by 2015. The UK Coalition Government has repeated time and again this promise and indeed have committed to enshrining this level of spending into legislation during this Parliament.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is responsible for giving the country an independent analysis of the UK budget and forecasts the health of the budget for years to come. Yesterday their analysis and forecasts showed far slower growth than their previous forecasts. Their reduced predictions suggest that rather than UK growth of 1.7% this year, our GDP will only grow by 0.9%. Their prediction of 2.5% growth in 2012 growth has been reduced to 0.7% and likewise, 2.9% for 2013 has been cut to 2.1%. Those of you that studied compound interest in your school days will know that not only is that bad in each year but the culmination is even worse. By the end of those three years GDP itself will about 3.5% lower than the OBR was predicting as recently as March 2011.
The Government's promise was to spend 0.7% of the GDP/GNI – whatever that amounted to. Unfortunately 0.7% of 96.5 is less than 0.7% of 100. When it comes to forecasts of development spending that difference is £1.2bn over 3 years. Even though we are effectively talking about small percentages of difference the absolute amounts of money concerned are enormous.
So what difference will this make to people living in poor countries and poor communities?
Well when I heard the news, this was my first question too. It's yet to be seen where exactly the axe will fall and what the impact will be for people living in poor countries and communities.
Clearly £1.2billion is an enormous amount of money and so it will be essential for DFID to explain which programmes and areas of planned spending will be going ahead and which ones will not.
It will also be essential for DFID to continue to develop and finesse its work on understanding and improving the real impact of their work, to ensure that every pound of spending is making a difference to real people.
At the same time our political representatives, led by the Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell and the Prime Minister David Cameron, must continue with efforts to enshrine into law the principle of spending 0.7% of GNI on overseas assistance from 2013.
This drop in UK spending on development assistance makes it all the more important that the whole Government is contributing to overcoming global poverty. Every Government department has a role to play, whether it's the Business department working to ensure UK business has a positive affect rather than a negative one when it invests abroad, the Foreign Office upholding principles of human rights in international diplomatic forums or the Department for Energy and Climate Change ensuring that we lower UK emissions and work with countries to adapt lifestyles to the changes in the world's climate. The whole Government can, and should act.
The announcement yesterday recommitted the Government to reaching the 0.7% target by 2013. We welcome that ongoing commitment; a 41 year old promise will be realised in 2013 and the Government is taking a bold political step in maintaining their promise. At the same time the world's poorest people need the UK to enshrine this principle into law, to focus on impact for real people, and to ensure the whole Government operates in a way which helps them prosper and take control of their own lives.

Replying to: Good or bad? by Vmac39
Re: Good or bad?
This would mostly be for games and media. World of Warcraft is far too big to run...assuming you have all the patches and updates. It is in the 10GB range...unless a mobile version is developed. At this point, we will just have to wait and see.

Bill Cosby wore them. Michael J. Fox had a whole closet full of them. Arsenio probably got canceled because of them. Yep, we're talking about ugly sweaters.
Every guy has these sweaters somewhere in their closet. Maybe they were given to them by their senile Aunt Martha, who thought burgundy, gold, and green were really "smart" colors. Or maybe you purchased them during your stint as a manager at the local Chess King. Or maybe your mom bought them to help "brighten" up your wardrobe. Whatever the case, every guy (and their unfortunate partners) has been affected by an ugly sweater.
The Epidemic, which we call "ugsweat", peaked in the mid to early 80's and finally fizzled out with the rise of the metrosexual. Although traumatized, Manistas like Kevin, the founder of the site BadSweaterGuy.com, can look back at that the epidemic with the insight of men who have fought the good fight and came out wearing Dolce & Gabbana.

GMAT Tips: How to Analyze an IR Two-Part Question
Sep 19, 2012 | 0 comments
Today's GMAT tip comes from test prep firm ManhattanGMAT. In this article, they provide helpful information on analyzing a two-part Integrated Reasoning question. Read on to see what they have to say!
This is the latest in a series of "How To Analyze" articles that began with the general "How To Analyze A Practice Problem" article (click on the link to read the original article). This week, we're going to analyze a specific IR question from the Table prompt category. The GMATPrep problem we're using this week is one that we've already discussed how to solve in a previous article; click here to read that article and try the problem first.
After trying the problem, checking the answer, and reading and understanding the solution (which you can do via the original article, linked above), I try to answer these questions:
1. Did I know WHAT they were trying to test?
– Was I able to CATEGORIZE this question by topic and subtopic? By process / technique? If I had to look something up in my books, would I know exactly where to go?
The question is an IR Table prompt. The question prompt is pretty distinctive ("select Would help explain if it would, if true, help to explain some of the information in the table. Otherwise select Would not help explain."). This problem is a mix of math and verbal, then, and I have to understand the numbers in order to infer some qualitative things about the data.
– Did I COMPREHEND the symbols, text, questions, statements, and answer choices? Can I comprehend it all now, when I have lots of time to think about it? What do I need to do to make sure that I do comprehend everything here? How am I going to remember whatever I've just learned for future?
(*Note: I'm going to pretend that I got this one wrong!) I messed up a bit when reading the question. I reversed what they were asking me to do: I tried to use the data to see whether we could infer the statement, using the CR standard that an inference must be true. That's not actually what they asked me to do. Instead, they told me that I should accept the statements as true (the question stem says "if true"). This is more like a strengthen / weaken CR question; my mistake was that I originally treated it more like an inference / draw a conclusion CR question.
I need to look for that "if true" language in the question stem. When I see that, I'll know I'm supposed to accept the statements as true and then do something else with them (in this case, check to see whether the data then lends support to each true statement).
– Did I understand the actual CONTENT (facts, knowledge) being tested?
They were testing me on certain math concepts, such as proportion, and certain definitions, such as per capita. I handled those things fine – in fact, once I realized my error in reading the question stem, I re-did the question and didn't have any problems.
2. How well did I HANDLE what they were trying to test?
– Did I choose the best APPROACH? Or is there a better way to do the problem? (There's almost always a better way!) What is that better way? How am I going to remember this better approach the next time I see a similar problem?
Now that I realize what the question is really asking, I would read the first statement:
"The proportion of the population of Brazil that lives within close proximity to at least one museum is larger than that of Russia."
Then I'd look to see whether the given data about Brazil and Russia does lend support to the idea that this statement is true. (See original article for full analysis.) I'd repeat that for the remaining statements.
– Did I have the SKILLS to follow through? Or did I fall short on anything?
Actually, yes, I was fine on what I needed to do once I correctly interpreted the question.
– Did I make any careless mistakes? If so, WHY did I make each mistake? What habits could I make or break to minimize the chances of repeating that careless mistake in future?
I think I could probably call my misinterpretation of the question a careless mistake. I just wasn't reading carefully. Why? (This is a CRUCIAL question – don't skip this step!) I tried to figure out the table first and spent too much time, so when I looked at the question stem, I felt rushed and didn't really take the time to understand what they were asking. Next time, I should read the question stem first and really concentrate on understanding it before I try to start solving.
– Am I comfortable with OTHER STRATEGIES that would have worked, at least partially? How should I have made an educated guess?
I found the third statement the trickiest, I think because the data did not actually support the statement. I worried that maybe I was overlooking something – that there was data somewhere to support the statement but I just wasn't looking in the right place. But I'll probably always feel that way when the answer really is "would NOT help explain," so I should be prepared for that feeling of uncertainty in general. It's similar to when I'm testing numbers on data sufficiency and I keep getting the same answer – have I found the actual solution, or have I just not tried the right set of numbers yet?
– Do I understand every TRAP & TRICK that the writer built into the question, including wrong answers?
See above – I found the third statement the trickiest.
3. How well did I or could I RECOGNIZE what was going on?
– Did I make a CONNECTION to previous experience? If so, what problem(s) did this remind me of and what, precisely, was similar? Or did I have to do it all from scratch? If so, see the next bullet.
– Can I make any CONNECTIONS now, while I'm analyzing the problem? What have I done in the past that is similar to this one? How are they similar? How could that recognition have helped me to do this problem more efficiently or effectively? (This may involve looking up some past problem and making comparisons between the two!)
I knew this was a table problem – that's obvious – but I hadn't seen wording quite like the wording in this question stem before. Now that I've seen this, though, I'm going to be prepared for next time (see below).
– HOW will I recognize similar problems in the future? What can I do now to maximize the chances that I will remember and be able to use lessons learned from this problem the next time I see a new problem that tests something similar?
The key thing here, I think, was the "if true" language – they told me to accept the statements as true! I could almost think of this as a kind of data sufficiency question, and the three answers here are like the two data sufficiency statements. I accept them as true and then I try to figure something else out using those statements. I like that idea – I think that "similar to DS" idea, along with keeping an eye out for "if true" language, will help me to recognize similar questions in future.
And that's it! Note that, of course, the details above are specific to each individual person – such a write-up would be different for every single one of you, depending upon your particular strengths, weaknesses, and mistakes. Hopefully, though, this gives you a better idea of the way to analyze an IR problem. This framework also gives you a valuable way to discuss problems with fellow online students or in study groups – this is the kind of discussion that really helps to maximize scores.

Placenta previa is medically categorised into 4 grades of severity. These are:
Where part of the placenta is implanted in the lower segment of the uterus, but the edge is more than five centimetres (two inches) away from the woman's cervix. Most of the placenta is situated normally, in the upper segment of the uterus. The cervix needs to dilate 10 centimetres in labour, usually five centimetres each way, for the woman to give birth vaginally.
Most of the placenta is implanted in the lower segment, and the edge of the placenta touches the edge of the cervical opening, but does not cover it.
The placenta is implanted in the lower segment and part of the placenta covers some of the cervical opening.
The placenta totally covers the woman's cervix.
There is another type of placenta previa, where most of the placental tissue is situated in the upper segment, but there is a small piece of placenta that implants away from the main body of the placenta, over or near the cervix. This is a satellite lobe or succenturiate lobe and is connected to the main placenta by a large blood vessel running through the sac or membrane . This is rare and may be difficult to detect on ultrasound.

I still have a fridge full of Sherry, it has been very civilised to come home from work to a glass or two.
What makes Jerez and surrounds such a good place to make sherry? As always, there are a couple of things that make this area unique. Firstly the climate, but also the soil. They call it albariza, and its a fine, chalky soil. Its a start contrast to the other soil types in the area and is perfect for growing palomino in the hot dry conditions.
Lustau have been around for quite some time and produce a huge range of sherries. This one comes from their middle tier range.
Fine and light on the nose, almonds and apple with a hint of salt and flor. Its a fruit plate in the mouth, crisp apple and nuts with an orange like tang on the finish. Fresh, light and zingy is a good way to sum it up. So well balanced, its far too easy to drink. This would be a good introduction to dry sherry, as well as making the old hands very happy. 90 Pts.

I did read most of morocco-knowledgebase.net .... his level 2 off-road routes are exactly what I was looking for, but he basically just posts teasers on there to buy a book that doesn't exist? I think he would have done better to have jump-started a crowd sourced morocco-knowledgebase and profited off the ads instead. I'd buy the book if I have time, but nowadays a thriving forum would be perfect for Morocco
I've read WIBO's Morocco thread you linked before as well and many of his great posts on Spain/Morocco while searching old threads (I've read through most of the recent threads on Spain/Morocco) I still need to find this infamous Michelin Map #742 haha
I'm still missing a decent reliable lists of non-technical scenic off road routes.. but I'll wing it! I've downloaded Chris Scott's waypoints and I've watched some youtube clips of the well-known ones anyways. I can't really do anything technical with a loaded F800 alone, just looking for the quiet "off the beaten path" err ok scenic beaten path routes
Thanks again
Hi from norther coast of Spain,
If you make up this far you won't be disappointed. I don't know anything about gravel roads as its never been my thing, but if you don't mind a bit of smooth tarmac and never ending mountain passes and valleys you have come to the right place. If there was one place in particular that I would recommend it would be the Picos De Europa, the scenery is fantastic and loads of places to stay and better still - there's no bloody tourist caravans and cars at this time of year.
The coastal roads are worth doing, the further North west (Galicia) you go the better.Lovely little coastal villages built-up on the local fishing industry. The food and wine in this region is second to none. Word of warning, keep away from the coastal roads at the weekends. They tend to be full of local tourists.
If I can be of any help at any time just PM me.
Good luck on your journey and may the force be with you.

Between a quarter and a half of all birds, along with around a third of amphibians and a quarter of corals, are highly vulnerable to climate change. These findings have emerged from the most comprehensive assessment to date of the impact of global warming on life. Its results have led some researchers to warn of the need for unprecedented conservation efforts if we don't cut our emissions.
The new assessment of climate change risk was performed by scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the organisation that produces the Red List of Threatened Species. "When the Red List was invented, it was long before anyone worried about climate change," says Wendy Foden of the IUCN in Cambridge, UK.
Red List assessments of extinction risk do consider climate change, but in a limited way. The main tools used in these earlier assessments are species distribution models, says Foden. These map out the climate conditions where a species lives now, then estimate how that liveable area will alter as the climate changes. In many cases, species' habitable ranges will move and shrink, putting them at risk.
But that's not enough to assess risk. Some species may be able to cope if their environment changes. Others may be particularly suited to evolving new adaptations that will allow them to acclimatise to the changing environment. And yet more species may simply move to new areas.
Pace of reproduction
Foden and colleagues tried to take all that into account in their new assessment. They considered how quickly species could relocate, and whether they were barriers like mountain ranges in their way. They also examined how rapidly species could evolve. For instance, species that reproduce quickly have a better chance of evolving new adaptations than those that do not.
"If you're a narwhal and only breed once every two years, it's not going to happen," says Foden. Species with low genetic diversity are also slow to evolve.
"These ideas have been milling around," says Chris Thomas of the University of York in the UK. "But the way they've clarified them will be really helpful."
So far, the team has applied their criteria to all birds, amphibians and corals. Species were classed as highly vulnerable if their local climate is changing rapidly, they are sensitive to these changes, and have little ability to adapt or relocate.
The results make for grim reading. Among birds, 24 to 50 per cent of species are highly vulnerable, according to the team's most optimistic and pessimistic forecasts, as are 22 to 44 per cent of amphibians and 15 to 32 per cent of corals. The figures are similar to those obtained in a 2004 study by Thomas, which estimated that 15 to 37 per cent of species will be "committed to extinction" by 2050 due to climate change (Nature, doi.org/c34wgp). "These are high percentages," says Thomas.
"Safe" species at risk
What's more, many of these species are not currently classed as threatened. Foden says that 17 to 41 per cent of birds are highly vulnerable to climate change despite being considered safe by the Red List.
Certain areas are hotspots of threatened species. For instance, the Amazon rainforest contains huge numbers of birds and amphibians that are highly vulnerable to climate change. Most Arctic birds are also highly vulnerable, as are corals in the Caribbean and the Coral Triangle in south-east Asia.
"The moment you start thinking about the magnitude of the conservation programme we might need to put in place, it's mind-boggling," Thomas says. Protected areas would need to be much bigger than at present to safeguard relocating species. Also, we would have to intervene to move many species, often to new countries. Such translocations are difficult and expensive, and in any case many countries don't allow them.
The best thing we can do is cut greenhouse gas emissions. "Minimising the rate and extent of climate change will reduce the amount of action required," says Thomas.

xf86config is the configuration tool for X4, but under Debian you can
also set up X by running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86."
Configuration files for X are a little bit tricky under Debian. The
stardard XFree86 distribution is capable of reading your configuration
from many different locations (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4,
/etc/X11/XF86Config, /etc/XF86Config, etc.) Once it finds a config file
under one of those names, it will use that one and ignore the rest.
Debian allows you to have both X3 and X4 installed on a system at the
same time, so your X4 configuration file should always be named
"/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" in order to differentiate it from the X3 config
file. I believe that "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" will always
write to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, but last time I checked, xf86config
writes to /etc/X11/XF86Config (without the "-4" at the end). If you use
the xf86config tool make sure that you move the XF86Config file to
XF86Config-4 (or make a symbolic link between the two) so that X won't
continue using your old configuration.
I realize that I probably didn't explain this all that well, but you can
find more information in the XF86Config(7) manpage.

Vampire welcomed to airport attraction
Posted: February 13, 2013|
NEWQUAY airport welcomed a special visitor this week – a vampire.
The de Havilland Vampire was the latest historic aircraft to move down to Newquay airport, as part of the relocation of the Classic Air Force company to the resort.
The de Havilland Vampire G-HELV T55 twin-seat trainer, with its distinctive twin boom layout, will also be the first jet-powered aircraft to arrive at the new visitor attraction, which is due to open at the end of March.
The plane was the second jet fighter to enter service with the RAF although it arrived too late to see combat during the Second World War.
It served with front-line RAF squadrons until 1953 and continued in use as a trainer until 1966. Almost 3,300 Vampires were built, a quarter of them under licence in other countries. The Vampire design was also developed into the de Havilland Venom fighter-bomber as well as naval Sea Vampire variants.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
City weighs door-to-door regs
Oct 3, 2013 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff Writer
Chief Mike Broadhead said his officers field a number of complaints from residents who are uncomfortable having salespeople on their property.
Not every knock at the door is a welcome one.
Citizen complaints about door-to-door merchants and solicitors in Riverton have prompted city council member Mary Ellen Christensen to bring forward the idea of regulating the practice.
"I don't want to stop free enterprise, but I think there's a way to regulate it a little bit," Christensen said. "It's somewhat of a public safety issue for me on different levels -- we should know who's in our city selling."
Christensen proposed that the council talk about the information that could be required from salespeople and discuss potential fees for going door to door in Riverton.
"We require fees from our day cares, our tree trimmers, our cabs," she said. "We should have something to regulate door-to door-sales."
She suggested that the regulations could apply only to people who come from out of town to make sales in Riverton.
Police response
The Fremont County Sheriff's Office responded at about 3 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27, to a report that two men were "selling something" at a woman's door in the 3800 block of Wind Drift Lane in Riverton. Deputies were unable to locate the men, who reportedly left the area on foot.
Riverton Police Department chief Mike Broadhead said his officers also field a number of complaints from residents who are uncomfortable having salespeople on their property.
"(It's) mainly elderly people who don't have the wherewithal to deal with a very aggressive sales person," he said.
Eventually, the sales person can end up inside of the resident's home, he said.
Broadhead pointed out that anyone could pretend to be selling something to gain access to someone else's property.
"I'm a little bit concerned about people from out of town (who aren't) accountable to anyone," Broadhead said. "(They) can just show up and have a legitimate reason to hang out in the neighborhood and go door to door and see who's home and who's not."
He added that police haven't investigated any thefts connected with door-to-door sales, but he said, "the threat is out there."
No ordinance
Community Development Director Sandy Luers said the city doesn't have an ordinance on the books regulating door-to-door sales, though in the past salespeople have been required to register before working in the city.
"(It's similar) to contractor registration," she said. "It's fairly simple."
She said the city requests each business' federal identification number, liability insurance information and contact information along with a list of the people who will be doing business in the city. A $50 fee also is required.
Council response
Mayor Ron Warpness called Christensen's idea "reasonable."R32;"I don't think it's inappropriate for us to know who's in the community selling," he said. "I think we should have something on our books."
Council member Jonathan Faubion also was in favor of some regulation, with a small fee -- or no fee at all. Instead, he said, the city could charge salespeople who ignore residents' requests for privacy.
"I'm in support of passing an ordinance that says if you knock on a door that says, 'No soliciting,' that there's a fine that goes along with that," he said.
Deputies reportedly responded to a similar situation at about noon Sept. 24 when a man on Zuber Road said a person selling cleaning supplies had disregarded the "no trespassing" sign on his property.
Christensen had suggested creating a list of residents who don't accept certain solicitations. She said the document could be distributed to door-to-door merchants.
"Citizens (would be) responsible for coming into the city to say, 'I want to be on that list,'" she said.
Council members Todd Smith and Richard Gard were against the additional regulation. If a door-to-door ordinance is created, they said it should not include fees for salespeople.
"I'm opposed to a merchant having to report to the city before they can offer me siding or those kinds of things," Smith said. "I think there's a lot of logistics to consider."
Gard wondered about nonprofit groups or children who go door to door to raise money for club activities.
"I have some reservations because I don't want to (negatively impact) the Girl Scouts or the Boy Scouts or any service organization that's trying to work the community," Gard said.
Christensen said the city could exempt non-profit organizations, religious groups or schools from the temporary merchant permit.
The council directed staff to look into the issue and report back to them in the future.

Currently working on for 2013 release:
Love Of A Lifetime. An erotic paranormal romance of a different kind – to be released September 25th. Here is the link for the book video and excerpts are here. This story has been with me for a very long time. Jack and Finley's romance is the reason I became an author. It's hard to describe, but this hero and heroine's plight touched my heart in a very special way and I can't wait for readers to meet them. This is a good cross between Reluctant Surrender and Stare Me Down with a little of Required thrown in as Jack is the consummate alpha male. Yum. Seriously, if I weren't married and he wasn't already head-over-heels in love with Finley I'd clamp that ball and chain on him myself!
Then next up? A Perfect Holiday. This will be released the end of October. It's an erotic contemporary starring Riker Mitchell and Sidney Capp. He's a bad boy looking to be good and she's a good girl looking to be bad so, um, yeah, they're screwed when they're marooned together over a weekend before Christmas. But as they say, Christmas comes early until their hot weekend ends and both of them are left reeling when reality literally knocks at the door. In an instant Riker's world view is turned upside down and Sidney's new found happiness is shattered. Now one of them must make amends and pray that the other is willing to forgive…but is he?
So here's the line-up for summer, fall and winter of 2013
Love Of A Lifetime (Jack Midland and Finley Cullen's story) Erotic paranormal

What Is The Bush-Cheney Game?
Commonly one would think that strategies in world leadership could be loosely based on the moves of a chess board. Chess requires concentration, forward thinking, and alternative move planning and keeping a cool head. Was that the Bush-Cheney game? You would have to liken their game more to the wiles of poker players than to the intelligence of chess players. Strategies of world leadership require a keen sense of what is in the minds of other leaders as well as of history. Basing a nation's welfare on the principles of games is highly irresponsible.
What Did History Teach Us And Why Did We Not Listen?
History has taught us many times over about wars that can't be won. Russia has suffered great losses in the Middle East when they tried to conquer Afghanistan. Nine years of conflict brought Russia nearly to its financial knees not to mention the lives that were lost. Viet-Nam was another great teacher of places that cannot be won by our present war strategies. That is what history should have taught us. That is a strategy that would have been better played out on a chess board.
Playing poker does require a certain amount of concentration. It also requires knowledge, experience, perhaps even conservatism if playing with someone else's money. On the other hand, if not playing with one's own money, other people's money can be used to feed the interests that fuel the companies involved in the outcome of the game. It can be quite simple really, even if not to everyone's advantage.
The Bush-Cheney Poker Game — Who Would Be Sitting At That Table?
Well, Bush and Cheney, of course. Some oil people from Saudi Arabia perhaps. Companies involved in the production of all types of war material would be there. Companies supplying the alimentary welfare of our troops would have a seat. Finance personnel from our own government, and those who report the proceedings of the game to the people. This is quite a diverse group of people. What's more astounding is that they all seemed to have emerged winners. Which begs the question: Who are the losers?
Texas Holdem
It should not really be surprising that political poker is the game played during the Bush-Cheney administration; after all, Texas is the Bush state. The game may have been carried over to the Oval Office for sentimental reasons. Perhaps the cards had already been there. Ranking the powers that be, we would probably have a full house: Three cards of the same suit plus two of another same suit. In other words, we may have had three aces or perhaps three kings and two jokers or two queens.
How Does The Game Continue?
Now that everything has changed, from the game players to the occupants of the Oval Office, the game of poker may have been put to rest. History and time will tell which game predominated decision making and what the outcome will be in the end. Some may wish that poker would remain in the realm of the gamblers and stay out of politician's hands.

The Spousal Unit has been known to happily say that he will give the beggar 10 gold. All the beggar has to do is meet him in front of the bank in 10 minutes. Then 9 minutes later, he logs off. The tenacious ones will actually add him to their Friends List and bug him the next time he's on. He is willing to string them along as long as they are willing to keep trying.
Just like Gold Sellers are only around because people are willing to buy, beggars only keep begging because people are willing to give them money.
Yesterday I asked why beggars beg. Today I want to know, do you give to beggars? If not, what do you say when you turn them down?

continued Lewis said he felt this case had the same theme as his case against the Adirondack Park Agency.
"These things speak to the behavior of government," Lewis said. "The APA's attitude was on trial in that case and there have been some changes since. Whether that will cut the deck, I don't know.
"With this case, again, a citizen raises his hand and said I don't think this is right and again, the citizen is proven correct," Lewis continued. "At the end of the day, what you are really seeing is people being told to quit misusing their authority. You saw that message with the APA and now you have seen that message with the town of Essex."
Lewis said he still feels that he was a target of the system.
"This is the last thing that I wanted to do. I didn't want to sue, and I didn't want to fight," he said. "But this was a capricious, horrible misuse of authority. It is dead wrong what they did, and the court has recognized this. We got clammed, and it probably goes back five to 10 years. As far as I am concerned, it is clear, this was a conspiracy to get the Lewises."

Philatelists rejoice! Top Gear now has its own stamps
A series of six have been issued by the Isle of Man Post Office. Check them out here...
Posted: 14 Oct 2011
Although both parties will deny it, stamp collectors have a lot in common with some hardcore car fans. Think of the obsessive attention to detail, the arcane knowledge of products last usefully seen in operation decades ago, the desire to spend weekends with like-minded individuals discussing ephemera that sends the rest of the world to sleep.
So what better than some Top Gear stamps! Issued by the Isle of Man post office (sometime home to Jeremy)! The run consists of these six beauties - based on some of our more bizarre and ingenious motoring challenges over the years.
They're officially released on 5 November. You can find out more and buy the usual presentation sets at www.iomstamps.com.
Were you aware, until today, that there existed a stamp for the precise sum of £1.82?
