, which can only be found in Scandinavia! Scandium is an extremely hard substance which can be found in the production of Soviet hydroplanes.

Eye witnesses have sometimes heard, sometimes seen (or both), how the UFOs have cut through the ice cap, making a massive sound. The Norwegian research team has now, as mentioned above, expanded their staff to include college students and others, because they need much more manpower to go to the bottom with this interesting phenomenon. It should be mentioned for research purposes that this phenomenon has also been observed in combination with the aurora borealis, starting out around 9:30 in the evening (fig. A-11).[10]

Modeled after traditional British afternoon tea, High Tea provides a time for students and guests to relax and experience global cultures through transformative learning experiences.
Guests are served loose-leaf Chinese oolong and green teas as well as British-style butter cookies. Malaysian, African and Thai teas, as well as Turkish and Arabic coffee, are available upon request.
"High Tea offers a warm, relaxing atmosphere for our community. Guests can enjoy a cup of tea and experience diversity. It's a short stop between work and home, or just a place to meet up with a friend," Mrchkovska said.

The new World of Warcraft SteelSeries mouse contains 15 separate, macro-programmable buttons, both for the poop socker and the gold farmer alike. It will be ergonomically unusable, but I do quite like its carapace-like design. SteelSeries drops WoW oriented 15 Button Mouse [Crunchgear]
SteelSeries to release 15 button World of Warcraft mouse

Hmm, might be interested if I can scrap the WoW branding off of it…
That thing looks like it would kill my hand if I touched it. I want one and I don't even play WoW.
I've already got a mouse built for WoW rogues. It's got two buttons.
15 buttons, I guess you could macro in all sorts of stuff and when you accidentally press the wrong one and accidentally aggro Arthas causing your entire party to wipe worse than what Leroy Jenkins did you don't have to use 'I got chicken' as your excuse.

The ubiquitous pink ribbons of breast cancer philanthropy - and the hand-in-hand marketing of brands and products associated with that philanthropy-- permeates our culture, providing assurance that we are engaged in a successful battle against this insidious disease. But the campaign obscures the reality and facts of breast cancer - more and more women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and face the same treatment options they did 40 years ago. Yet women are also the most influential market group, buying 80 percent of consumer products and making most major household purchasing decisions. So then who really benefits from the pink ribbon campaigns -- the cause or the company? And what if the very companies and products that profit from their association have actually contributed to the problem?
In showing the real story of breast cancer and the lives of those who fight it, Pink Ribbons, Inc. reveals the co-opting of what marketing experts have labeled a "dream cause."

Una Galani says the only way to give Islamic finance a big boost in Egypt would be to issue new banking licences and offer tax incentives to institutions managing Islamic funds
November 12, 2012 6:46 by Reuters
Egypt may struggle to meet its Islamic finance targets. The new Muslim Brotherhood government aims to boost the sharia-compliant share of total banking assets from 5 to 35 percent within five years. The potential is undoubtedly big. Egypt is predominantly Muslim and only 10 percent of the 80 million people have bank accounts. But the rise of Islamic finance in Egypt might be slow.
Hosni Mubarak, the long-time former president, didn't hold back Islamic finance, although he didn't encourage it either. However the nascent sector was badly tarnished in the 1990s by a series of investment scams. Demand was also restrained by a 1989 declaration from a top Egyptian scholar and preacher that some forms of financial interest on deposits were permissible to Muslims. Out of Egypt's more than 30 banks, only three are full-fledged Islamic institutions.
The government can gain from developing Islamic finance. New regulatory structures will allow it to tap a new pool of capital by issuing sukuk, or Islamic bonds. Still, the Brotherhood's ambition to grow Islamic banking seems to be mostly driven by ideology. In a country with so many pressing economic needs and where the banking sector is in good shape, it seems an odd thing to prioritise.
In any case, the goal looks ambitious. The uptake of Islamic banking has been gradual in other countries where it co-exists with conventional finance. Islamic banking assets account for an average of 25 percent of the total in the Gulf region, according to Ernst and Young. The International Monetary Fund says it took Malaysia, now the world's biggest market for Islamic bonds, six years and a relaxation of its foreign ownership rules to almost double its Islamic finance share to 22 percent.
The only way to give Islamic finance a big boost in Egypt would be to issue new banking licences and offer tax incentives to institutions managing Islamic funds. For a weak government in need of more revenue, that hardly sounds like the way to go. The Brotherhood would be better off spending its limited political capital elsewhere.

HERE BACK AGAIN. So photos are not updated but keeping more or less same status NEW STATEMENT: I do not look for an adventure or sexual relation. That is part, just for saying, "realized past". Also, I may say that I'm realized/satisfied on most of living and wanted needs. "Only looking" for a friend or companion, intelligent and educated. A person who can enjoy a nice conversation; pass good time watching an interesting movie, play, documentary, show; to travel; workout together; much better if likes sports, and play cards or table games. Oh, oh… If Chemistry sparks, it will be very welcome indeed. Almost nothing :-):-)... FORMER STATEMENT: I am optimist; love laughing, comedies, traveling, going out; hate sadness and superficiality. I love teaching, the only profession I know and think to do well. I always take care of my family and friends. I have a beautiful, very smart daughter, who studies to become dentistry. We have traveled around the world; having a lot of fun, interesting experiences and culture. My future tours will have to be long river cruises in Europe and Asia. I hope to keep living a normal and tranquil life as of today. Not looking for arrogant, self "insufficient", frustrated and complicated. The one that says to love humor, and is incapable to assimilate a simple joke; as well as the one who shows one photo and looks actually 110% different.

DOD's High-Risk Areas:
Challenges Remain to Achieving and Demonstrating Progress in Supply Chain Management

The Department of Defense (DOD) maintains a military force with unparalleled logistics capabilities, but it continues to confront decades-old supply chain management problems. The supply chain can be the critical link in determining whether our frontline military forces win or lose on the battlefield, and the investment of resources in the supply chain is substantial. Because of weaknesses in DOD's supply chain management, this program has been on GAO's list of high-risk areas needing urgent attention and transformation since 1990. Last year, DOD developed a plan to resolve its long-term supply chain problems in three focus areas: requirements forecasting, asset visibility, and materiel distribution. In October 2005, GAO testified that the plan was a good first step. GAO was asked to provide its views on DOD's progress toward (1) implementing the supply chain management improvement plan and (2) incorporating performance measures for tracking and demonstrating improvement, as well as to comment on the alignment of DOD's supply chain management improvement plan with other department logistics plans. This testimony is based on prior GAO reports and ongoing work in this area. It contains GAO's views on opportunities to improve DOD's ability to achieve and demonstrate progress in supply chain management.
Since October 2005, DOD has continued to make progress implementing the 10 initiatives in its supply chain management improvement plan, but it will take several years to fully implement these initiatives. DOD's stated goal for implementing its plan is to demonstrate significant improvement in supply chain management within 2 years of the plan's inception in 2005, but the time frames for substantially implementing some initiatives are currently 2008 or later. While DOD has generally stayed on track, it has reported some slippage in the implementation of certain initiatives. Factors such as the long-standing nature of the problems, the complexities of the initiatives, and the involvement of multiple organizations within DOD could cause the implementation dates of some initiatives to slip farther. DOD has incorporated several broad performance measures in its supply chain management improvement plan, but it continues to lack outcome-focused performance measures for many of the initiatives. Therefore, it is difficult to track and demonstrate progress toward improving the three focus areas of requirements forecasting, asset visibility, and materiel distribution. Although DOD's plan includes four high-level performance measures that are being tracked across the department, these measures do not necessarily reflect the performance of the initiatives and do not relate explicitly to the three focus areas. Further, DOD's plan does not include cost metrics that might show efficiencies gained through supply chain improvement efforts. In their effort to develop performance measures for use across the department, DOD officials have encountered challenges such as a lack of standardized, reliable data. Nevertheless, DOD could show near-term progress by adding intermediate measures. These measures could include outcome-focused measures for each of the initiatives or for the three focus areas. DOD has multiple plans aimed at improving aspects of logistics, including supply chain management, but it is unclear how these plans are aligned with one another. The plans were developed at different points of time, for different purposes, and in different formats, so it is difficult to determine how all the ongoing efforts link together to sufficiently cover requirements forecasting, asset visibility, and materiel distribution and whether they will result in significant progress toward resolving this high-risk area. Also, DOD's supply chain management improvement plan does not account for initiatives outside the direct oversight of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and DOD lacks a comprehensive strategy to guide logistics programs and initiatives. DOD is in the process of developing a new plan, referred to as the "To Be" roadmap, for future logistics programs and initiatives. The roadmap is intended to portray where the department is headed in the logistics area, how it will get there, and what progress is being made toward achieving its objectives, as well as to link ongoing capability development, program reviews, and budgeting. However, until it is completed, GAO will not be able to assess how the roadmap addresses the challenges and risks DOD faces in its supply chain improvement efforts.

Court says current school funding levels do not meet constitutional standards
Jan 11, 2013 - 3:50:24 PM
This afternoon, the Shawnee County Court handed down a decision in
Gannon vs. State of Kansas
. The court said that the Legislature may not lower state school finance dollars from 2008 levels and that the previously-set $4,492 per pupil base state aid may not be altered.
The current BSAPP is $3,838. Theis' decision states that does not meet constitutional standards for providing a "suitable" education to Kansas public school students.
"The State of Kansas is hereby enjoined," Theis wrote, "from performing the unconstitutional act of enacting any appropriation, or directing, modifying or canceling any transfer, or using any accounting mechanism or other practice that would will, or may in due course, affect, effect or fund less than the base student aid per pupil of $4,492."
Friday's decision follows a 2005 Kansas Supreme Court ruling in another school finance case that determined the Legislature had not met its constitutional obligations and ordered a larger education appropriation.
The three-judge panel included judges Franklin Theis, Robert Fleming and Jack Burr. The decision is expected to be appealed.

Chuck Hagel sworn in as Defense secretary. Will he be sorry? (+video)(Read article summary)
The office for Chuck Hagel is palatial, his responsibilities extraordinary, his staff vast. But his job is also probably the second most difficult in the executive branch after the presidency itself.
Chuck Hagel on Wednesday morning was sworn in as secretary of Defense. He took the oath of office in a private ceremony at the Pentagon and immediately set to work at his new and challenging cabinet-level job, preparing an address to department employees.
After a bitter seven-week confirmation fight, will this be an occasion that the Republican former senator from Nebraska treasures the rest of his life? Or will he rue the day he walked into the bureaucratic snake pit that is the E-ring?
To a certain extent, this question is rhetorical, of course. No matter how this turns out, Secretary Hagel will always have the memory of holding one of America's most coveted political jobs. His office is palatial, his responsibilities extraordinary, his staff vast. When we covered the Pentagon, a friend who worked there would occasionally drag us out to the helipad. We'd stand there and watch the secretary of the time stride out with his military escort and then disappear in a roaring, gleaming US Marine helicopter.
"Now that," our friend would say as the dust settled, "is American power."
But for all the glory, it's also probably the second most difficult job in the executive branch after the presidency itself.
As of now, Hagel is CEO of a $700 billion company. He's just taken office, yet all his division heads, otherwise known as the "Joint Chiefs of Staff," have spent their whole adult lives working up through the company's ranks. He'll never match their institutional knowledge.
He'll immediately confront crucial billion-dollar decisions. ("Chief, what should we do about the F-35"?) The Joint Chiefs will have their own opinions on these, which they've had lots of time to hone. Oh, and these decisions affect thousands of jobs in congressional districts across the United States, so Congress will weigh in as well. Often.
Did we say these decisions also involve the nation's very security? And that Hagel is in the nation's chain of command, meaning he's also got some responsibility for formulating policy and directing the operations of US troops now in harm's way, wherever they are?
All this is why some SecDefs appear happy to spend time on morale-boosting visits to foreign bases, while underlings run things back in Washington.
In addition to the weight of the job, Hagel will face a number of problems particular to him.
The 'sequester.' The big automatic budget cuts known as sequestration look almost certain to take effect Friday. That means Hagel could be grappling with a semi-crisis within days as he loses $46 billion of his budget.
The Senate. Part of the job of secretary of Defense is dealing with the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and military appropriations subcommittees. Right now, Hagel's got problems with the Senate part of this equation. His nomination passed SASC by only 14 to 11, and his performance at his confirmation hearing was unimpressive, at best.
"He will take office with the weakest support of any Defense secretary in modern history, which will make him less effective [in] his job," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the GOP's minority whip.
Of course, a revenge-minded SecDef might find opportunity in the fact that he's supposed to rebuild relations with people who came after him in the first place. As former Pentagon official Lawrence J. Korb writes in Foreign Policy, there are lots of ways he can get back at his GOP foes if he chooses.
He could draw up lists of bases in his adversaries' states for possible closure, cancel weapons systems that senators support, move military units out of his foes' states, and so forth.
"His choices could hurt the constituents of the very officials who have done the most to hurt him," Mr. Korb writes.
The press. Finally, Hagel may face a media primed to cover any misstep. During his confirmation hearing, he hemmed, hawed, and occasionally misstated administration policy. Any similar mistake he makes now will be picked up and magnified.
He doesn't even have to make them now; it might be enough to newly unearth stuff he said in the past. Witness the latest flap: A 2011 Hagel speech, in which he said India has over the years financed trouble for Pakistan from across the border in Afghanistan, has riled the Indian government.
The remark was published by the Washington Free Beacon, a muckraking conservative journal.
"Such comments attributed to Sen. Hagel ... are contrary to the reality of India's unbounded dedication to the welfare of the Afghan people," said a statement issued in response by the Indian Embassy in Washington.
