[PS3/Vita Double Review] Q*Bert Rebooted
Posted by the_nmac in Double Review, Featured, Media, PlayStation Vita Software, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, PS3 software on February 24th, 2015
Q*Bert Rebooted is a game that takes the classic Q*Bert gameplay and brings it to Playstation consoles. This game offers the original and classic gameplay from 1982, as well as a new "Reboot" mode in which you can experience Q*Bert in a new way.
Does the 1982's Q*Bert character still holds up in 2015? Read our double-review to see what we thought about it!
[PSP/Vita Double Review] Brandish: The Dark Revenant
Posted by Ceidz in Brandish: The Dark Revenant, Double Review, Featured, Media, PlayStation Vita Software, PSP Software on January 30th, 2015
Brandish: The Dark Revenant is a remake of Brandish, a game that was released on the SNES back in 1995. This remake was made by XSEED and Nihon Falcom and features full 3D graphics, and a few new floors to discover. Surprisingly, this title was released to the PSP so it might be one of the last releases we'll ever see on that console and has full compatibility with the PS Vita.
Vittoria: A medieval kingdom banished deep underground a thousand years ago, brought down by the hubris of its ruler upon the slaying of a god. Lost and forgotten, a new kingdom was built upon the empty hills that mark its grave — but its ruins are still populated by the vengeful, twisted spirits of its once-proud people, and whosoever falls into these depths is most certainly doomed to suffer a torturous demise at their hands.
Bounty hunter Ares, however, is not quite so willing to accept this fate. In this reimagining of a golden era classic, Ares must work his way up to freedom through over 40 floors of unimaginable danger while his archrival, Dela — a powerful sorceress who fell into the ruins with him — is hot on his tail.
Solve brain-busting puzzles, battle unique enemies and forge ever onward in this contemporary dungeon-crawling action RPG from the makers of Ys and The Legend of Heroes!
[Vita JRPG Double Review] Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation
Posted by Ceidz in Double Review, Featured, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, Media, PLAYSTATION Store, PlayStation Vita Software, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, PSN on January 27th, 2015
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 is an enhanced remake of the Playstation 3 game Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 that released back in 2012, and its a direct follow-up to Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 which we reviewed last summer. The Hyperdimension Neptunia games take place in the world of Gamindustri, which parodies our own video game industry, and the main characters are the sisters of the CPUs of Re;Birth 1. While this game is meant as a sequel, it can totally be played as a standalone title because the story doesn't rely too much on the previous game, and the first hour recaps the events of Re;Birth 1.

Our oceans and best surf breaks are becoming more and more crowded each day. The media and its marketing have pushed this rise to a new high where many breaks are now dangerous to surf due to the amount of punters lining up. Therefore it is nice to know that the future of surfing and its technological developments are safe, as new artificial environments can be created to provide the ultimate surfing park!

The most important things in life aren't things....treasure the people in your life.
I'm an easy-going person who loves people. I'm also a good communicator so I would appreciate having that quality in a partner. Also, a sense of humor is a MUST -- laughter is so important! My greatest accomplishment is having raised 3 beautiful children who are now grown and on their own. Being a mother has been by far my greatest blessing in this life. Like everyone else who has lived, I have had some valleys, but I am grateful for every lesson learned and experience that helped me evolve into the woman I am today. The thing that makes me smile the most is making someone else smile. There are so many times I set out to be a blessing to someone else yet I am the one who walks away blessed. Attitude is everything -- life is too short and too precious to waste. I always try to see the best in people. I find negativity very unattractive. No matter what the situation, life is still good! There is always something to be thankful for. Life's experiences are always richer when shared with people you love and enjoy being with. I am looking forward to making new memories with my special someone. I am interested in a long term relationship, but also hope to meet some new friends along the way. You can never have too many friends. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and if you think we would make a good match, please send me a note. Good luck to all in your search .....

I like a variety of music- the oldies, love Motown classics, soft rock, jazz, gospel, some country. As for TV - still enjoy Seinfeld reruns; The Middle; Castle; Blue Bloods, Chicago Fire, 60 Minutes, Food Network; Travel Channel.
Enjoy movies, going out to dinner or meeting up for coffee with friends. I also love to read and shop. I think that when you are with someone you love that everything is more enjoyable, even the smallest, everyday things.

Feynman Prizes Awarded by Foresight Nanotech Institute
Nanotechnology Think Tank Honors Top Researchers, Author and Student
Foresight Nanotech Institute, the leading think tank and public interest organization focused on nanotechnology, awarded prizes to leaders in research, communication and study in the field of nanotechnology at the Productive Nanosystems Conference, being held today in Arlington, Virginia. These prizes are conferred on individuals whose work in research, communication and study are moving our society towards the ultimate goal of atomically-precise manufacturing.
The 2007 Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes, named in honor of pioneer physicist Richard Feynman, are given in two categories, one for experimental work and the other for theory in advances in nanotechnology. This year the Theory Prize was won by David Leigh of University of Edinburgh, UK, and the Experimental Prize went to Fraser Stoddart of UCLA.
The Foresight Prize in Communication was presented to nanotechnology author and theorist Robert A Freitas Jr. A Rice University graduate student, Fung-Suong Ou, received the Distinguished Student Prize.
"This year's winning research illustrates the great strides toward productive nanosystems now taking place throughout the world," said Dr. Pearl Chin, President of Foresight Nanotech Institute. "The goal of manufacturing with atomic precision advances daily, and we can expect even faster progress building on the work being honored today."
Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes - Experimental and Theory
Winning in the Experimental category for 2007 is J. Fraser Stoddart, Fred Kavli Professor of NanoSystems Sciences, UCLA, and former Director of the California NanoSystems Institute, who has pioneered the synthesis and assembly of unique active molecular machines for manufacturing into practical nanoscale devices. His many accomplishments in synthetic chemistry have produced functional molecular machines, in particular a 'molecular muscle' for the purposes of amplifying and harnessing molecular mechanical motions, that may ultimately lead to the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of molecular machine systems.
This year's winner in the Theory category, David A. Leigh of University of Edinburgh, is the world's foremost pioneer on the design and synthesis of artificial molecular motors and machines from first principles and one of the most dynamic and innovative chemists of his generation, focusing on the construction of molecular machine systems that function in the realm of Brownian motion. Leigh's theoretical studies of synthetic molecular motors and machines contribute an important element toward the development of molecular machine systems capable of atomically-precise fabrication.
Foresight Institute Prize in Communication
The 2007 Communication prizewinner — Robert A. Freitas Jr., a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing — is best known for Nanomedicine, the definitive book on the medical applications of molecular nanotechnology and available in its entirety at http://www.nanomedicine.com ; and Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines, the foundational description of system architectures for molecular nanotechnology, available at http://www.molecularassembler.com . With almost 100 technical papers, book chapters, or popular articles he is one of the most prolific authors in the field of molecular nanotechnology.
Foresight Institute Distinguished Student Prize
Fung Suong Ou is a Ph.D. candidate now at Rice University who has demonstrated that it is possible to use a combinatorial approach to build nanowires from dissimilar components. Specifically, he has fabricated multi-segmented one-dimensional hybrid structures composed of carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires.

Tonia was a great host! The room was clean and the whole place is bigger than it looks from the pictures! Tonia also had plenty of towels, shampoo, soap, and conditioner prepared in the bathroom. I highly recommend staying at her place!
Tonia and her dog, Lupita, were both warm and welcoming. I had come to Raleigh for my nephew's wedding, and it was a busy time. Tonia was the perfect host. She respected my privacy and provided good information when I needed it. Lupita, or 'Pita, was a happy little dog. I think we bonded. Two thumbs up!
Nice location in a quiet and clean area. Clean room and bathroom as described on the site. Thank Tonia for her hospitality.
Great space. Convenient to downtown and dining/shopping. Private bath and lots of separation between bedrooms. Tonya was great - as helpful or discreet as you wished.
Tonia was an excellent host and her apartment was the perfect refuge in Raleigh. It was clean, quiet, bright, and her dog is the most friendly greeter! All in all, it was the perfect place to stay.
This was my first airbnb experience and Tonia made it perfect! The accommodations were as described but our host was super.
When my daughter and I arrived I commented that she had just flown in from New Orleans and had a sore throat. Tonia immediately offered some relief and during the stay offered to drive us to a clinic. Now if that isn't going above and beyond I don't know what is!
The location was perfect because we could walk to Cameron Village for boutique shopping and a comfortable dining experience. A 5 minute drive brought you to Glenwood Ave/W. Peace St where you could go to the Cornerstone Tavern or a great pizza restaurant, Mellow Mushroom.
Leaving was tough because we fell in love with Tonia's dog Lupita (Pita for short).
I would highly recommend Tonia's home to anyone!
Tonia was very welcoming - she was leaving as I arrived, but showed me where to park, had WiFi instructions ready, and knew everywhere to go in the neighborhood. She lives in a great neighborhood - it's walkable, close to everything, and full of trees, lawns, etc. Her place is very comfy and pleasant. Pita, her dog, is a cutie :-)
About the Host, Tonia
Enjoy music, art, food/drink, fun, outdoors, animals, travel - not necessarily in that order. ;-)
Love to travel and not doing enough of it. Hoping AirBNB can change that.
I work in technology but love getting away from it when I can. Horseback riding is a huge love I have that I don't do nearly enough.

Often, designers need to convey simple data without the overhead of a relational database such as MySQL. This course introduces web technologies that make it easy for a designer or developer to store, retrieve, and display data online.
First, discover how data is collected via standard and advanced HTML5 forms. Then look at a client-friendly approach to storing that data using simple CSV files. Next, Joseph shows how to store, manage, and style data with the three big players: the granddaddy of static data, XML; the popular JavaScript-based JSON; and the recursively named YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language), frequently used in Ruby-based projects. Plus, take a close look at basic HTML5 data options, including local storage and the flexible data attribute.
While HTML5 is not a technology dedicated purely to managing data on the web, the advances in that regard and the latest version of our most basic web language are substantial. In this lesson, we'll take a look at the key enhancements that make it far easier to work with data on the web. The primary data-oriented features in HTML5 are a slew of new input types. The ability to store and retrieve data on the client side, the multipurpose data attribute, and the new data list tag.
Let's break those down starting with the input types. There are in all 13 new input types including URL, date, tel for telephone and e-mail. Most are partially supported in modern browsers with the primary changes coming in mobile browsers. Input types are covered in depth in Chapter 1. Local storage is a particularly useful HTML5 data-related feature, largely because it adds the ability to maintain state without resorting to server side technology.
That means if some data has been saved using local storage and its displayed on the webpage, if you close your browser and then reopen it, the data can be retrieved and displayed again. Unlike cookies, local storage is handled on a per browser basis. And the capacity is much larger, 5 MB versus 4 kb for cookies. Local storage uses a basic name value pair structure and is limited to strings. The two most common commands for local storage are very straightforward.
setItem takes two arguments, the ItemName and its value. While getItem only needs the name of the item to retrieve it. We'll continue to explore local storage later in this chapter. One of the more annoying problems with earlier versions of HTML, was that there was no way to add custom attributes to an element without invalidating the code. That problem is gone with the introduction of the data attribute. You can create any custom attribute you need, just add the data- prefix.
Now this opens the door for further JavaScript manipulation. The next two lines of code illustrate how divs could be set up for dynamic charting by SVG or Canvas through the application of the data-country and data-size attributes. Best of all, everything is perfectly valid HTML. I'll show you how to use it later in this chapter. Another data-related element you should be aware of is datalist. datalist defines the autocomplete options for a certain targeted select list, as you can see from the code depicted here.
To apply a datalist to a select list, you use the new list attribute with the ID of the datalist as its value. Unfortunately, datalist has, for whatever reason, not garnered support in the current iOS browser set. So in my view, its use is still pretty restricted and we're not going to dive into it any more in this chapter. Now that you're armed with an overview of what's hot data-wise in HTML5, you're ready to put some of that knowledge to work in the next lesson.

BirdLife Species Factsheet for Grey-headed Albatross Grey-headed Albatross Thalassarche chrysostoma is currently listed as Vulnerable under criterion A4bd on the basis of an estimated population decline of 30-49% over three generations (90 years). This estimate is based on documented declines to date suggesting that the population has decreased by 15% since the mid-1980s, which, if continued, would equate 49% over three generations. However, given the uncertainty around these estimates, particularly the likely future trends, and the long trend period, a decline of 30-49% over 90 years was provisionally estimated. Approximately half the global population of Grey-headed Albatross breeds on South Georgia (Georgias del Sur), with a further c.18% breeding in Chile, c.15% on the French islands of Iles Kerguelen and Iles Crozet in the southern Indian Ocean, 8% on Campbell Islands, and 10% in the Prince Edward Islands (ACAP 2010). At South Georgia, the population is estimated to have declined by 25% between 1977 and 2004 (R. Phillips verbally 2012), which equates to a projected decline of 85% if declines continued at this rate over three generations. On Campbell Island, data from 2004 suggest that the population declined by over 75% between 1940 – 2004 (Moore 2004; Nel et al. 2002), which would equate to a 95% decline over three generations. Population trends are unknown for Chile, Iles Kerguelen and Iles Crozet (representing around one third of the global population). Also, in contrast to South Georgia and Campbell Island, the population on Marion Island has reported a 1.2% annual population increase from 1988-2011 (ACAP 2012), which would equate to a doubling of the population over three generations. Combing these data (see attached spreadsheet), even if the Chilean, Iles Kerguelen and Iles Crozet colonies are assumed to be stable, the data from South Georgia and Campbell Island result in a projected global population decline of 62.6% over three generations. This suggests that, despite the variability in data quality and considerable uncertainty over trends for this biennial breeder, the species could qualify as Endangered under criterion A4bd. Discussion is welcomed on whether, given reanalysis of the best available data, it is appropriate to estimate an ongoing population decline of 50-79% over three generations (90 years), which would result in the species being uplisted to Endangered. If so, it would be important to pinpoint when the rate of population decline is thought likely to have first exceeded 50% over three generations (was this prior to, or since 1988?). In addition, any count data from colonies lacking more recent information is sought to enable more accurate assessment of trends. Thalassarche chrysostoma trend analysis References: ACAP. 2010.

GSA's Dave McClure felt some heat at a hearing on IT leadership. (File photo)
Dave McClure of the General Services Administration felt some heat during a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing on July 25.
House subcommittee troubled over data center updates
Subcommittee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) pummeled McClure for setting a poor example in IT decision-making for other agencies to follow.
GSA, Mica said, has only closed one data center in three years, despite having identified 115 non-core data centers ripe for closing or consolidation.
The hearing was held to discuss the status of federal IT initiatives, including the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative led by GSA and the Office of Management and Budget. Mica was on the attack.
"Then we've got McClure here, from GSA, you guys haven't set a very good example in operation," Mica said, after listening to testimony from Federal CIO Steve VanRoekel and Dave Powner of the Government Accountability Office.
McClure answered that GSA has planned to close 38 data centers by the end of fiscal 2013 and 47 by the end of fiscal 2014, but did not deny GSA had only closed one over the past three years.
However, other committee members, including Meadows, were skeptical of the ambitious numbers expected in the two months remaining in the fiscal year, given the track record.
"Where does the buck stop?" Meadows asked, staring at McClure.
McClure responded that the agency CIO "owns the issue" and the "head of the agency is ultimately responsible," noting that he is simply "the head of an office that provides tools" to get the job done. McClure is associate administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies
Meadows, staring at McClure, asked what would happen if GSA doesn't make the closure target.
"I think you should ask for an explanation," McClure said, suggesting the responsibility fall to GSA CIO Casey Coleman.
Meadows was not satisfied.
"We have a whole bunch of people that come and give testimony, but really don't have responsibility for implementing those things," Meadows said, clearly annoyed. "Hearing after hearing and nothing gets done. I think you have three core (data) centers, 115 non-core, and you've closed one in the past three years. Now we're going to ramp it up. Why is that?"
Subcommittee Ranking Member Gerry Connolly, (D-Va.) said GSA's move to close the data centers, announced after the subcommittee criticized GSA during a field conference it was invited to but didn't attend, looked like a disingenuous attempt to appease the subcommittee.
McClure responded that it "might have the appearance of that," but explained that the agency was not finished collecting data, thus its delay in publicizing planned closures.

Three-time Federal 100 winner is leaving government in July.

Senate bill carves out exemption for supercomputing and other lab IT; an earlier version of the measure would have exempted the entire Department of Energy.
OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.
Steve Kelman applauds the OMB's move to make career employees "goal leaders" for performance management initiatives -- but wishes it had come far earlier in the administration.
In an exclusive interview, Jimaye Sones, who was Defense Information Systems Agency comptroller from 2005 to 2013, says he was reassigned after revealing questionable accounting practices at the agency.
Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
The real problem is agencies are not incentivized to save. Their reward if they cut costs and claim savings is less budget and more importantly, less operational flexibility than they have now. So why should they voluntarily "get in the box"?
Until congress realizes this and figures out a way to reward rather than punish "success", they have no one to blame for their frustration.

"We love this house, neighborhood, the bubbly and efficient property manager and responsive owner. We stayed for 2 weeks in April and the whole month of December in 2014. The house is very comfortable, completely equipped and much better looking in real life than in the photos. The yard is perfect for our dogs and the neighborhood a friendly place to trot them around. The neighborhood doubles as a bird sanctuary; beautiful beautiful birds sing and play. In December a Bald Eagle stopped by. This is a really great home, welcoming in every way, a definite must stay."Guest: Sam K. Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: February 14, 2015View listing
"My family and I had a lovely visit in your clean, quiet home. This bungalow is the perfect size, updated, cozy, so quiet, and sunny. My 1 year old loved all the floor space to run around, and spent a lot of time exploring the front & back yard spaces and walkways. We loved the convenience to downtown (5 mins) and to Lido Beach (10 mins) and Siesta Key Besch (15 mins). It's 2 mins to Publix grocery store too. Thanks for the beach towels, umbrellas, and sand toys. What a nice treat. The only thing we didn't like was the very squeaky bed in the master bedroom. The metal frame made a loud sound when getting in and out of bed and rolling over. We would stay here again for sure!"Guest: tanya h. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 4, 2015View listing

If you follow reviews, you will see by our last review of this property that there is nothing more we can add that hasn't already been said, except how sorry we were the day we locked the door to this heavenly home behind us !!!"Guest: Ron O. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 7, 2015View listing
"We have been spending holidays in Sarasota for the past 23 years and during this time have stayed in a variety of rental properties. The last two years we have stayed in Barry and Sue's beautiful rental in Osprey and really feel as though we have found our "home from home". They have, literally, provided everything a family would need to make their stay truly memorable. From the moment you enter the property you just know you are going to have the most enjoyable, relaxing holiday which you will never want to end. Everything in the villa, from the super comfy beds to the leather sofas and large screen TV's will not disappoint and the kitchen has every appliance you would ever need. The villa has a lovely pool/spa area which overlooks a tranquil lake and it is just so pleasant to sit out, at whatever time of day, soaking up the ambiance. There is also a BBQ if you want to cook outdoors. The villa is on a very quiet residential estate and is in the perfect location to enjoy local restaurants/shops, it is only a short drive to beautiful beaches and Siesta Key ( which is our all time favourite ) is easily accessible. Barry and Sue have even provided beach umbrellas/chairs etc for guests to use, which are an added bonus when in the intense Florida heat. Bikes are also available for guests to use and there are plenty of cycle paths to explore the natural habitat. As we now live in Australia ( originally from the UK ), it is a very long journey for us but we wouldn't have been doing it for so long if we hadn't fallen in love with Florida, the lifestyle and we can now add Barry and Sue's home to our list. We are now counting down the weeks to our next trip and cannot wait to see the improvements, we know, Barry and Sue have made to the villa."Guest: Fletcher Family, Queensland, Australia Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 19, 2015View listing

The Tanzeem-e-Islami is an Islamic organisation based in Lahore, Pakistan that advocates the implementation of the Quran and Sunnah in the social, cultural, legal, political, and the economic spheres of life;[2] the establishment of a global Islamic Caliphate;[2] and the "refutation of the misleading thoughts and philosophy of modernity".[3]
The organization has emerged as a "strong conservative force" within Pakistan.[4] It opposes the development of a "modern secular curriculum" in universities, "friendly relations with the United States", and the influx of "Western values and vices" into Pakistan.[4] While it supports jihad, it emphasizes the need for "passive resistance and perseverance", to first gain a "substantial foothold" and build momentum in society.[5] While primarily active in Pakistan, TI has developed "affiliates based in the Indo-Pakistani Muslim communities in North America and Europe".[4]
The organization was formed by author and Islamic scholar Israr Ahmed in 1975 following his break with the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party in 1957,[4] after the JI entered electoral politics in Pakistan.[2] Ahmed's son, Hafiz Akif Saeed assumed the leadership role of the organization after the voluntary resignation of the founder in 2002.
History of Tanzeem-e-Islami[edit]
According to the Tanzeem website, after Israr quit JI in 1957 he continued his Quranic lectures, but waited for his former colleagues "to initiate efforts of Islamic renaissance through the revolutionary process". However upon realizing that this was not happening to his satisfaction, he decided to step-up this effort and call people to make a disciplined organization and he therefore laid the foundation of Tanzeem-e-Islami.[2]
After TI's founding in 1975, it functioned as a "conventional religious organisation", according to Dawn.com, sharing Dr. Israr's commentaries on the Quran and Hadith with "the few followers that it had gathered" after he quit JI. However, Israr's following began to grow after General Zia ul-Haq's 1977 military coup.[6]
His first TV programme was called "Al-Kitab" and broadcast in the month of Ramadan of 1978. The other programmes were known as "Allf Lam tim", "Rasül Kamil", "Umm ul Kitab", and "Al-Huda". These and various other speeches where telecast in Pakistan.[7] In 1981 Zia ul-Haq asked PTV, the state-owned Pakistan television channel, to give Dr. Israr a weekly show. His show became one of the first in Pakistan in which an Islamic scholar would sit in front of an audience and give lectures on Islam.[6] According to Dawn, Israr's irritation with the poor hijab of women in the audience of his show, became the basis for Zia's Ministry of Information encouraging women newscasters, and actresses in TV plays on Pakistan state television to be 'modestly dressed', and use a minimum of facial make-up.[6]
In 1983, Dr. Israr introduced his audience to what he felt was the pressing need for a worldwide caliphate or Khalifat.[6] In that year he also surprised a TV studio audience by announcing (during a successful series being played by the Pakistan Cricket team), that 'Cricket is making Pakistanis ignore their religious obligations .... I am convinced that cricket matches should not be shown on TV. ... Even after the showing of matches on TV is banned, only men should be allowed to go to the stadium to watch these matches.' This episode was not aired on TV and his program was temporarily cancelled. Israr resigned in protest but continued to have a large following as middle class interest in the Islamic revival grew.[6]
In 1975, 103 people attended TI's first convention and 62 became members. In 1992 there were 1778 members in Pakistan and 234 members in the Middle East. The ladies' wing of TI was formed in 1983, and as of 1990, there were 122 members.[7]
As of 1994 TI had two regional branches in Sakkhar and Islamabad, and two overseas branches in Toronto and Chicago, Quranic academies in Lahore, Karachi and Multan, and plans to found a university.[7]
In 2013, Tanzeem-e-Islam's name was associated with a campaign against Valentine's Day, featuring billboards around Pakistan emblazoned "Say no to Valentines Day".[6]
The essence of what Tanzeem calls the "Islamic revolutionary thought" consists of the idea that it is not enough to practice Islam in one's individual life but that the teachings of the Qur'an and those of the Sunnah of Islamic Prophet Muhammad must also be implemented in their totality in the social, cultural, juristic, political, and the economic spheres of life. Unlike other Muslim political parties, TI is not interested in taking power through the ordinary political process of Pakistan or any other country, but in changing society through influencing its ideas and values.[7]
The credit for reviving this dynamic concept of Islam in the Indian subcontinent, after centuries of neglect and dormancy, goes to Allama Muhammad Iqbal. The first attempt towards the actualization of this concept was made by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Another attempt was made by Maulana Sayyid Abul A`la Maududi (founder of JI).
In its mission statement, the organization states that its most important task is the "effective refutation of the misleading thoughts and philosophy of modernity".[3]
Mission Statement[edit]
|This section may stray from the topic of the article. (March 2011)
According to the Mission Statement of Tanzeem-e-Islami:
"The addressee of Islam is an individual. The main objective of Islam is to provide moral and spiritual fulfillment and salvation to the individual , and the proposed collectivity is required chiefly for the purpose that it may help an individual in achieving his goal, that is to seek the pleasure of Allah.[3]
With regard to the Da`wah, Tanzeem considers that the practice of Da`wah and reform should extend from an individual to his family, his kith and kin, and then gradually to his surroundings.[3]
In regard to the collective responsibility of the Muslim community (Ummah) concerning the work of Da`wah and propagation among the masses, Tanzeem considers that the most important task is to counteract the false beliefs and customs of the period of ignorance (jahiliyya)[that are still prevalent today] and to effectively refute the misleading thoughts and philosophy of the modern times. Moreover the guidance given by the Book (Qur'an) and Sunnah concerning the various aspects of human life should be explained in clear terms so that their real wisdom and rational worth can be made clear, and the doubts in the minds of the people of the present times may be removed."[3]
Obligations of members[edit]
|This article only describes one highly specialized aspect of its associated subject. (February 2013)
The ultimate goal of a Muslim is to seek Allah's pleasure and salvation in the Hereafter.[8] The objective of establishing Tanzeem-e-Islami is to assist the Muslims in carrying out obligations as ordained by the Qur'an and Sunnah. The obligations have four levels:
- A Muslim is required to develop real faith and conviction (Iman) in his heart;
- He is required to live a life of total obedience to the injunctions of the Shari`ah;
- He is required to propagate and disseminate the message of Islam to the entire Humanity;
- And he is required to try his utmost to establish the ascendancy of Islam over all man-made systems of life.

Supreme court decision questions EPA wetland restrictions
A U.S. Supreme Court decision could open the doors for Oregon landowners and property developers to battle government land-use decisions.
The court unanimously ruled March 21 that the Environmental Protection Agency can face judicial challenges on certain land-use decisions. The court ruled in favor of Idaho property owners who faced fines of up to $32,500 a day. The landowners had filled in parts of their property that EPA said was protected by wetlands rules.
Supreme Court justices overturned several lower court decisions ruling that EPA's compliance order, on specific wetlands issues, aren't subject to judicial review.
While the decision won't necessarily bring a cascade of new lawsuits, it could comfort property owners who want to develop their land.
"Private property owners now have the right to appeal a decision by a government regulator," said Paul Agrimis, vice president and a wetland scientist with Portland-based environmental consulting firm Vigil-Agrimis Inc. "If people feel there's a bad decision, they can have it revisited by the courts."
The National Federation of Independent Business claimed a big victory in the ruling. The group, which represents 7,500 Oregon businesses, said that hundreds of thousands of small business owners nationwide rely on their land-use rights to operate their companies.
Many have gotten on EPA's bad side because of property issues, said Jan Meekcoms, Oregon's NFIB director.
"A door is now opened that was closed because of the EPA's strong-arming tactics," said Meekcoms, whose national chapter filed an amicus brief in the case. "It's nice to have a win against the tremendous onslaught of regulation."
Mike and Chantell Sackett, the couple that battled the agency, faced fines after the EPA ruled they improperly added dirt and rocks to their property near an Idaho lake.
"There is no reason to think that the Clean Water Act was uniquely designed to enable the strong-arming of regulated parties into 'voluntary compliance' without the opportunity for review — even judicial review of the question whether the regulated party is within the EPA's jurisdiction," wrote Justice Antonin Scalia.
The ruling isn't expected to apply to property issues stemming from the EPA's Superfund program, which is intended to clean large bodies of water. Last week, large companies affected by the program unveiled long-awaited recommendations on the Willamette River's clean-up plan.
Environmental attorney Donald Haagensen, a partner in Portland law firm Cable Huston Benedict Haagensen & Lloyd LLP, said the ruling does raise issues about developing wetlands in general. He advises clients to have consultants study their property before filling or modifying any part that might be considered wetlands.
"I wouldn't want to get into that situation, where it's already been filled, and then figure out whether it's subject" to EPA regulations, Haagensen said.
Land use experts also noted that Oregon landowners need state approval before developing any property that may contain wetlands.
The extra oversight tends to eliminate surprise EPA decisions.
"We haven't dealt with clients who've gotten sideways with the agencies on issues," said Matt Kuziensky, a senior wetland scientist with Airfax, Va., environmental consulting firm ICF International's Portland office. "But we have state wetlands (oversight) here as well as federal. Typically, the process in place here is pretty good."
Others maintain that the ruling will only help those who have enough money to fight EPA.
"I guess there's a gain here, but it's so dinky that it doesn't have a lot of effect," said Jim Wilcox, the mayor of The Dalles and a veteran of several city land-use battles. "You can spend yourself into poverty suing a federal agency with unlimited funds to defend themselves with tax dollars."

The plant business trying to sprout again
It's estimated that since 2008, around a third of all plant nurseries in the U.S. went out of business. The industry was hit hard by the housing bust, competition from big box stores, and some bad winters, to top it all off. But the plant industry's roots run too deep for it to disappear, and many nurseries are looking for niches to survive their economic winter: sell online, sell interesting, sell weird.
That's the strategy growing in the immense, hot, and humid greenhouses owned by Gardens Alive 20 minutes outside of Dayton, Ohio.
Felix Cooper, vice president of Gardens Alive, stands in front of a black raspberry - "the first black raspberry to ever have two crops, a fall bearer and a spring bearer," he says. The company owns several plant nurseries, seed companies, and offers environmentally friendly garden products. "Right across there we have one of our new grapes. It has this continuously fruiting trait. It's the coolest thing we've seen in a long time."
The grape plant is so popular that last year, it sold out in January before the company even started shipping.
Such novel varieties are critical to the business, says Gardens Alive founder Niles Kinerk . "There's no question in my mind that the future in our industry has to rely on providing to particular niche markets - that the big boxes don't view as big enough to justify their interests."
Big box stores are the biggest source of competition for plant nurseries, and between them and the recession, the plant nursery business has gotten nailed. Nationwide it's lost a third of its growers.
Tony Avent runs Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina, where half of the nursery industry was wiped out during and after the recession. He has taken the whole sell-interesting, sell-weird strategy to the next level.
"There's an Amorphophallus titanum," he says, pointing to a photo of the currently dormant giant bulb. "It's a plant with a flower that's seven to nine feet tall. It has a smell that resembles, say, running over a pack of animals in the road - and the smell that would occur several weeks later."
Yes, people want to buy it.
Greg Matusky is not one of them. But he is the kind of adamant gardener that Plant Delights and Gardens Alive caters to.
"Every year I try something I consider exotic, something different. I have an olive plant, this year I'm going to grow capers," he says, noting that he didn't get them from a big box store.
"If you can find four or five varieties of tomatoes at Home Depot, you're doing pretty well," he says. Matusky grows hundreds of tomato plants a year in his garden outside of Philadelphia. "The selection is much greater if you go online."
Avent says the decline of the nursery industry and the rise of the garden department has had a fundamental impact on the plants themselves.
"Everything has shifted to plants that have a fast production time, plants which are what's called a 'seven-racker' – breed them short enough so they can fit on a seven-racker truck," he says. "It doesn't really matter anymore to a lot of plant breeders how it will perform in the garden."
Avent says some growers will spray hormones on plants to keep them compact and attractive on shelves, but not particularly verdant in the garden.
While there are, in fact, many new plant varieties available than ever before, obtaining them can be a challenge, which is where some nurseries see an advantage.
There are a few other things in the nurseries' favor. One is the simple fact that so many of them have gone out of business, which means there's less competition for the ones still around. There are now shortages of some plants that take a while to grow, like landscape trees. Most growers didn't plant many of them five years ago when things were bad, so there aren't enough ready now. That's great for businesses in that niche.
"There are actually people who go out and scout landscapes. They will go out to properties and proposition the owners, saying we will pay you $50,000 for this tree if you allow us to dig it and move it to a property because of the shortage in the industry," says Avent. It's a story confirmed by real estate agents in the Northeast.
But the main thing the plant nurseries are banking on is gardeners like Matusky, gardeners with a discerning green thumb and a penchant for growing their own food.
"Tomatoes are one thing that really blow your brains out when you taste them and realize what a real tomato tastes like," Matusky says. "Cucumbers, the same thing. Eggplant less bitter than you'll ever taste from the supermarket."
