Re: Section 31 after DS9
Section 31, by its very nature, can never be "legit". It's just as much an enemy to the Federation (despite its constant bitching that it "protects" said Federation) as any other hostile superpower.
As for post-DS9:
Section 31 will one day be brought down and destroyed, its members put on trial for their crimes. We don't know exactly when it will happen, only that it's in Jake and Nog's lifetimes. I look forward to reading that storyline.

Thankful for everyday!
I am a very dedicated person in everything I do.. Family and friends are extremely important to me. I believe if they were to describe me they would say I am hardworking, caring, and silly (once I come out of my shell). My career takes up a lot of my time, but I don't mind. I am a teacher and truthfully love every moment of it. It is the only career I ever wanted. Currently I teach 6th grade math. I love to laugh and to have a good time, whether that means watching a funny movie, going out dancing or, even if just sitting at home. I have been through some challenges in my life, which have made me a very strong person. I value life and education and I don't take things or people for granted. I would like to meet someone who is intelligent and enjoys having good conversation. I think these two things make a great relationship because it will keep communication flowing, which helps to maintain trust and honesty.

It's official: The District will no longer be home to Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Instead, the bureau's next headquarters will be suburban, according to a short list of potential sites released Tuesday by the General Services Administration that includes plots in Greenbelt, Landover, and Springfield.
Since the FBI announced plans in 2012 to leave the hulking, brutalist Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, local jurisdictions have scrambled to win the agency's favor. The FBI is desperate to consolidate more than 11,000 regional employees—currently spread across 20 sites—on a single campus, and the Hoover Building, home to about 5,800 of those workers, is showing its age after 39 years as an eyesore squatting on Washington's most famous street.
While today's shortlist cements it, the FBI's departure to the suburbs was telegraphed by its requirements for a new headquarters: a plot of at least 50 acres big enough to hold a 2.1 million-square-foot building, parking, and other ancillary facilities that's also within two and a half miles of the Capital Beltway and two miles of a Metro station.
The District's best offer when the GSA started taking proposals in March 2013 was 40 acres on Poplar Point, an empty swath of Southeast that has frequently been touted as one of the city's last remaining opportunities for high-value waterfront development. Republic Properties, a large private development firm, floated a tract a few blocks behind Union Station that would have displaced another federal building.
Besides wide-open spaces, the FBI also wants its new headquarters to be a fortress behind a wide security perimeter and without "close proximity to community facilities," as the federal government's request for expressions of interest read.
Poplar Point proved too close to densely populated Anacostia, while the site behind Union Station would be neighbored on every side. The FBI's desire for heavily armed isolation was one of the factors that led Victor Hoskins, DC's former deputy mayor for planning and economic development, to tell the GSA last November that the District was effectively rendered ineligible to keep the bureau within its borders.
The sites announced today, by contrast, fit the FBI's wish-list to a T. Greenbelt's 82-acre plot is mostly occupied right now by parking for the nearby Metro station. The Landover Mall was demolished in 2006, leaving 88 acres of open space; and the Springfield site would replace a GSA warehouse and land owned by Boston Properties.
Prince George's County has been making the hard sell for Greenbelt, offering $112 million in subsidies to the firm that would eventually develop the site for the FBI, according to the Washington Post. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin, Representatives Steny Hoyer and Donna Edwards, and Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker already have a celebratory press conference scheduled for this afternoon.
But DC, home to the FBI for 106 years, shouldn't feel like a big loser. While the District stands to forfeit $9.2 million in tax revenue in the short term, it will gain much more than that back when the Hoover Building, which takes up 6.7 acres and an entire city block, is knocked down and redeveloped, especially if its replacement is a taxable property. A report issued last year by Natwar Gandhi, then DC's chief financial officer, suggested a privately owned, mixed-use development could generate $28 million in new annual revenue, along with several hundred new taxpaying residents. As a federal building, the Hoover Building's only economic contribution to the District is the sales taxes FBI employees pay when they go off-campus.
"We are happy to see the solicitation process is moving along and look forward to the opportunity to redevelop the site along Pennsylvania Avenue," reads a statement today from Jeff Miller, the current deputy mayor for economic development.
Fiscal projections aside, the FBI leaving suits city and federal planners' desired future for Pennsylvania Avenue. With the Old Post Office turned over to the Trumps to transform into a super-luxury hotel, the roadway that's purportedly "America's Main Street" is about to get a jolt of commercial activity it sorely lacks. When the GSA floats 935 Pennsylvania Avenue on the real-estate market, as it has said it intends, developers will undoubtedly jump all over each other to claim the sexy address while local officials await a potential windfall that will fill city coffers a lot more than law-enforcement sentimentality will.

The FBI is probably going to go to the suburbs. The likelihood of the feds staying in town when they vacate Pennsylvania Avenue's garish J. Edgar Hoover Building has all but evaporated with the District's top economic official effectively pulling the city from contention.
The FBI's preferred criteria for a new headquarters renders ineligible any sites the District might have proposed, Victor Hoskins, the deputy mayor for planning and economic development, wrote in a letter last month to Dan Tangherlini, the head of the General Services Administration, the agency that manages federal real estate. Hoskins's letter was first obtained by the Washington Post.
In a Request for Expressions of Interest published last month, the GSA wrote that the FBI is looking for a plot of about 50 acres on which to build a 2.1 million square foot headquarters, plus parking. The site also needs to be able to fit the bureau's security needs without making "significant impacts on the quality of the human and natural environment."
Those and other requirements appear to disqualify the District's proposal for putting the FBI on a 40-acre plot at Poplar Point, a tract Southeast DC along the Anacostia River that is currently used by the National Park Service but has been eyed for redevelopment in the future. Even with Poplar Point seemingly out of the mix, the District is unlikely to suggest a different location for where the FBI might land.
"Poplar Point is what we have," Pedro Ribeiro, a spokesman for Mayor Vince Gray, told the Post.
UPDATE: Dan Cruz, a spokesman for the GSA, writes in an email that the agency still wants the District to compete for the FBI relocation.
"The ad states that GSA anticipates approximately 50 acres would be needed to satisfy this project based on assumptions regarding building height, density, and security requirements," Cruz writes. "However, the language regarding the acreage is not a minimum nor a maximum requirement; it is a general ballpark figure. Smaller sites that satisfy all minimum requirements of square footage, security, access to public transit, and access to the Capital Beltway will be considered."
The GSA is taking submissions through December 17, and any landowner—public or private—can express interest.
Aaron Alexis, the Navy veteran suspected of carrying yesterday's shooting spree at the Washington Navy Yard, entered Building 197 with a valid identification pass while carrying a shotgun he purchased legally at a gun shop in Virginia, the FBI said in the latest update from law enforcement on the massacre that left 13 people dead, including the assailant.
The dead suspected gunman in the Navy Yard shootings, Aaron Alexis, joins a long and growing list in America of mass shooters, particularly lone males. There have been 15 this year alone, former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt said in an MSNBC interview. In the 24 hours since the Navy Yard shootings occurred, claiming 13 including Alexis and injuring another eight, information about Alexis has developed quickly. The picture being painted of him by police, forensic profilers, and friends is of a man with possible mental health, anger, and violence issues.
Here's what we've gleaned so far from a variety of sources, including the FBI, police, and media stories:
• He was 34 years old, stood 6-foot-1, and weighed approximately 190 pounds, according to public records.
• He moved to DC from Fort Worth in the past month. Authorities said that as of September 7 he lived in a Residence Inn near the Navy Yard.
• He was pursuing an online aeronautical engineering degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
• The Washington Post reported on Tuesday afternoon that while he was in the Navy "Alexis was cited at least eight times for misconduct for offenses as minor as a traffic ticket and showing up late for work but also as serious as insubordination and disorderly conduct," quoting a Navy official who asked for anonymity. The paper reported, again quoting the anonymous source, that Alexis was arrested in 2008 in DeKalb County, Georgia, and held for two nights in jail. The story includes a link to the citation.
• His prior police record includes a 2004 malicious mischief charge in Seattle for shooting out the tires of another man's car. He was also arrested in 2010 in Fort Worth for discharging a firearm at the Orion Oak Hill apartments, where he lived.
• Seattle police, investigating the 2004 handgun incident, talked with Alexis's father, who said his son had anger problems and post-traumatic stress disorder after being an "active participant" in the rescue efforts at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
• Alexis served in the Navy Reserves from May 2007 through 2011, according to the Navy. He left the service on his own decision and entered into private contracting work. He was decorated twice by the Defense Department, with a National Defense service medal and a Global War on Terrorism service medal.
• He had converted to Buddhism, enjoyed meditation, and was fascinated with Thailand. He was learning the language and had visited the country. He occasionally worked as a waiter at the Happy Bowl Thai restaurant in a suburb of Fort Worth, speaking Thai with the customers.
• In a wide range of interviews, friends and acquaintances of Alexis described him as friendly but also reclusive and shy.
• Law enforcement authorities told the Associated Press that Alexis suffered from paranoia and sleep disorder, and that he said he was hearing voices. He was treated by the Veterans Administration, but the Navy did not declare him mentally unfit.
• Friends said Alexis was drawn to playing video games, including some that skew particularly violent, such as Call of Duty. A Fort Worth, Texas, friend and on-and-off roommate, Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, who described Alexis as being like his "big brother," said Alexis would sometimes play video games "all day and all night."
• His family lives in New York, where he also lived before moving to Seattle. Alexis also had relatives in Seattle and Georgia.
See below for a biography of Alexis released by the Navy's Office of Information.
The SUVs and helicopters arrived one by one all morning at Camp David, the presidential retreat hidden deep within the Catoctin Mountains on Maryland's border, assembling on September 15, 2001, the men who would lead the nation into war. There was President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, Secretary of State Colin Powell and his deputy, Richard Armitage, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and her deputy, Stephen Hadley, General Hugh Shelton, CIA Director George Tenet with the agency's head of counterterrorism, Cofer Black, and Attorney General John Ashcroft with the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller. Sitting at a large conference table in casual clothes—the President wore a parka—they spent the morning and afternoon plotting the nation's response to the devastating terrorist attacks and by day's end settled on a course that would lead the country first into Afghanistan and, later, into Iraq.
Twelve years later, they're all gone from the government—their war on terror over, their memoirs written, their speaking tours mostly wrapped up, their consulting firms up and running. The George W. Bush presidential library opened this spring in Dallas, and the former president has now taken up painting.
They're all gone, that is, except one.
Robert Mueller's war on terror has continued.
On the day of Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration, Mueller, who started as director just a week before 9/11, watched from the seventh-floor windows of the Hoover Building as the new President and the inaugural parade passed below on Pennsylvania Avenue—one of just two senior national security officials, along with Secretary of Defense Bob Gates, who carried over from one president to the next. He's gotten used to the revolving doors around him. In his roughly 4,000 daily terrorism threat briefings—give or take a few hundred—he's worked with four attorneys general and six CIA directors. Internally, he's seen five deputy directors and nearly a dozen heads of counterterrorism rotate through.
In 2011, he became the longest-serving FBI director since J. Edgar Hoover himself—and undoubtedly the most influential since. Later that year, his mandatory ten-year term poised to force him from office, Mueller was considered so vital to national security that Congress at President Obama's request passed unprecedented special legislation allowing him to extend his term an additional two years. In almost any meeting now, he's the senior and most experienced voice. "He's the grownup around the table," says one senior Justice Department official. "He's like EF Hutton—when he talks, people listen. He can redirect a whole conversation, because he's been doing this the longest. Everyone respects him."
But today, after nearly 4,400 days, Bob Mueller's war on terror is set to end.
At midnight tonight, he'll hand over the reins of the nation's premier domestic law-enforcement agency to newly confirmed FBI director Jim Comey, his longtime friend and onetime companion in the trenches of the war on terror.
Mueller has remade the Bureau from top to bottom, transforming its intelligence capabilities, focusing it on counterterrorism and cybercrime, and growing it internationally in ways Hoover never could have imagined. With little public note, the FBI under Mueller has become the first truly global police force, transforming the domestic agency created to combat interstate crime into one focused increasingly on transnational crime, especially in the arenas of cybercrime and counterterrorism. Whereas Hoover in his lifetime never crossed either the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, Mueller has become a global diplomat. A world map in the deputy director's office shows more than 60 locations abroad where FBI agents are now posted, and Bureau leaders talk of its reach "from Indianapolis to Islamabad." As Mueller says, "The FBI has never faced a more complex threat environment than it does today, whether one considers terrorism, espionage, cyber-based attacks, or traditional crimes."
Indeed, Mueller's final year has been especially difficult—perhaps his most challenging since the year after 9/11. In March, he personally fell victim to the rising tide of online identity theft when the details of his life—along with those of celebrities like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Britney Spears, and Donald Trump—were leaked by a Russian hacker website. It was as disruptive to him as it was to anyone else, with Mueller spending evenings and weekends reassembling the mundane details of modern life, changing credit cards and bank accounts, and so forth.
The following month, the Boston Marathon bombing—the first successful terrorist attack on US civilians since 9/11 itself—tested the agency, first with the initial attack, then with the subsequent citywide lockdown and manhunt, then finally with the public questions surrounding whether better investigation in previous years might have stopped the attackers earlier. In the weeks after the bombing, too, in a confusing incident that still remains murky publicly, an FBI agent in Florida shot and killed a Chechen immigrant being interrogated about his connection to the Tsarnaevs.
Amid the 35 proposals to relocate the FBI's headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue—the area's biggest economic development gem in years—is a surprising plan that might just keep the Bureau in downtown Washington, constructing a new building close to Union Station and answering the dreams of many senior FBI leaders.
The Union Station proposal—not previously reported—is backed by Republic Properties and renowned DC architect Arthur Cotton Moore and would provide the FBI with the full required 2.1 million square feet (2,107,242 to be exact) of new space. Republic Properties proposes to build on an empty lot—bordered by North Capitol Street, Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, and New Jersey Avenue—currently used as parking for the Government Printing Office, which occupies the eastern portion of the block. The neighboring GPO building, which handles the printing of the Congressional Record and passports, among other projects, is underused and in need of renovation itself. Republic Properties is proposing renovations to the GPO facility, the addition of underground parking, and the construction of a new FBI headquarters.
While much of the attention around the headquarters move has focused on the suburbs—suggested sites include Springfield, Virginia, and Greenbelt, Maryland—many senior FBI officials have longed for a viable solution that would keep the Bureau's 11,000 headquarters staff in downtown DC. The Hoover Building, built nearly 40 years ago and aging badly, has forced the FBI to split its headquarters staff across more than 20 annexes in Washington. Yet FBI officials are wary of moving to the suburbs, which would complicate relations with Congress, the White House, and especially the Department of Justice—currently just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the existing Hoover Building. FBI officials also hope to reopen its public tour, closed since 9/11, in a new headquarters, allowing the building to once again be a major stopping point for tourists.
Dear Mark Owen (a.k.a. Matt Bissonnette),
On Tuesday, I wrote a review of your new book, No Easy Day, about your role in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. There are few easy days ahead of you. The government apparently is considering whether to take legal action against you for allegedly violating the terms of two nondisclosure agreements you signed while still in uniform that the Pentagon says remain in force today. And this administration, as you may already know, is not too fond of employees who talk about sensitive national security operations without asking permission.
The Pentagon says there are secrets in your book. It seems officials are preparing to move against you, possibly with an eye to indicting you. (They've already determined they can't stop the sale of your book.) I'm not a lawyer, but I've written about leak investigations, the government prosecutors who run them, and the pledges government employees often sign to keep quiet about their work. We journalists also have to be cautious these days about whom we talk to and what secrets we publish. So here are some tips learned in the field that you might keep in mind as you mount your defense.
The French say it like "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This week unfortunately has brought a fresh reminder—two, in fact—that the FBI and the CIA continue to struggle to get along, more than a decade after the 9/11 attacks exposed a glaring—and deadly—lack of communication between the two cornerstones of the US national security apparatus.
A Washington Post story this week reports that the office of director of national intelligence, a post created after the September 11 attacks, has handed the FBI an "expanded role in coordinating the domestic intelligence-gathering activities of the CIA."
Coincidentally, the National Security Archive at George Washington University released a trove of decade-old CIA documents dealing with the hunt for Osama bin Laden. While much of the media's attention today has focused on the Counterterrorism Center's budget woes before 9/11, one of the most striking documents is the CIA's inspection report of its Counterterrorism Center from the summer of 2001 (PDF). Conducted while, unbeknownst to the agency, Mohamed Atta and the 9/11 hijackers were finalizing their plans to attack Washington and New York, the CIA inspector general's routine investigation discussed the overall effectiveness of CTC. After generally giving the center good marks—despite its budget and staffing shortfalls—deep into the report, the IG raises the agency's working relationship with the FBI, listed on an earlier page as one of its key relationships. "CTC described cooperative relations with the FBI," the report said. "The growth in joint activities and cross assignments suggests that the relationship is now more institutionalized and less personality dependent."

In the second century, Claudius Ptolemy, an Alexandrian astronomer and mathematician, wrote Mathematike Syntaxis (in Greek) or The Mathematical Compilation, a treatise on the apparent motions of the stars and planets. This work soon became known as The Greatest Compilation and it established the model of a geocentric universe, a scientific schema that would be followed for the next thousand years. When Ptolemy's Greek work was adopted in the Islamic world, its title in Arabic was shortened to The Greatest, which when transliterated into Latin became Almagest. (The Greek Mathematike Syntaxis translated into Latin as Syntaxis mathematica.) European summaries and commentaries were based on Gerard of Cremona's 12th century translation of the work from Arabic into Latin. The first complete Latin edition of the Almagest was published in 1515 by Petri Liechtenstein (fl. 1497-1528), who was a printer residing in the German colony in Venice at this time. Copies of Liechtenstein's 1515 Almagest are extremely rare. The digital images shown here are from such a copy contained in the collections of the Library of Congress. The title page shown above has an altered date of 1465.
Table I, an illustration of known constellations, bears a date of 1532 and appears to be a later addition. Early books were frequently altered, especially when new information brought them "up to date" or made them more desirable.
On page 56 of the Almagest, we find a discussion of a geometric investigation by Hipparchus of Nicaea (ca. 190-120 BCE) of the distances between the earth, the sun, and the moon, accompanied by marginal notes of a previous reader.

Bend, OR
Born in Rhode Island, I spent most of my early years in a small town in Southern Connecticut. My Great Grandfather and Grandmother Ira on my dad's side were both artists and their art hung in nearly every room in our home. My formal art training began at a community college in Western Massachusetts, where I earned an Associate degree in graphic design. I later moved to Boston to attend Massachusetts College of Art and achieved a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography. In July of 2006, I retired after 25 years of service as a staff photographer and imaging technician with the Photographic Services department at the University of Massachusetts. A strong desire to live in the west brought me to my present day residence here in Bend and the beautiful high desert of Central Oregon.
As an artist, avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast, my focus has been primarily on the Oregon landscape. Creative inspiration is not hard to find while high atop the Central Cascade Range or watching towering canyon walls reflect off the Deschutes River at sunset. A short drive west and I find myself wandering through the deep greens of old growth forests or strolling on the coast's rocky beaches. Nature as a divine sculpture is often a recurring theme in my work, from polished river rocks to ghostly gnarled trees as subjects. After my many years as a photographer in a university environment I enjoy the human landscape as well, sporting events, fairs, festivals, or a fun day at the local farmer's market. I hope you enjoy viewing the images I have put forward, thanks for visiting and please come again. Sincerely, Paul Carew

David Niu, his wife Alice, and their daughter Keira started his careercation in New Zealand David Niu
The UpTake: Serial entrepreneur David Niu, founder of BuddyTV and TinyPulse, decided to sell everything he owned and buy one-way tickets to New Zealand for himself, his wife and his 10-month old daughter. He's sharing the lessons he learned along the way.
I've been a serial entrepreneur most of my adult life. My parents emigrated from Taiwan to the United States when I was 2 years old. Since my father was a petroleum engineer, I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. This means I'm a suffering Dallas Cowboys fan now living in a Super Bowl-proud Seattle Seahawks town.
Along the way, my career would make any "Tiger Mom" proud. After my senior year in Tulsa, I went to U.C. Berkeley for my undergraduate studies. Yes, I did see the "Naked Guy" lollygag around campus during my time there. What an eye-opening experience for a teenager coming from the buckle of the Bible Belt.
I graduated with distinction and joined the prestigious Strategic Services group of Andersen Consulting for three years. I then went to Wharton for my MBA and with a classmate, Andy Liu, I started NetConversions during my first year. We won a Wharton business plan competition and subsequently raised over $1 million from angel investors and venture capital firms like Guy Kawasaki's Garage Technology Ventures. We made our share of mistakes, and the company had a near-death experience, coming close to folding. We came out of that scrape okay, and sold NetConversions to aQuantive(AQNT) in 2004.
After serving as executives at aQuantive, Andy and I took a trip together to Peru. It was either the high altitude, voluminous amounts of beers or the guinea pigs we ate that led us to dream up the next company we'd start together. One caveat we agreed upon: we'd never raise money again. So of course, we turned around and raised over $10 million from tier one investors like Madrona Venture Partners and Charles River Ventures to start BuddyTV in 2005.
David Niu is a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and author of Careercation: Trading Briefcase for Suitcase to Find Entrepreneurial Happiness. His current product, TINYpulse, helps hundreds of organizations like Hubspot, OxFam, and GSK get a pulse on how happy, frustrated, and burnt out their employees are before retention sinks and issues fester.

The film is an adaptation of the French 2003 thriller "Nathalie." In this version, Moore's character will suspect husband Neesen of cheating. The obvious solution? Hire a working girl (Seyfried) to test the hypothesis.
Thieriot, 20, was last seen as the younger version of the main character in 2008's "Jumper."

"Very kind host and good location"
I spend there one week with a two years old son. It is an studio with two single beds and a full kitchen. The host,Toni, is very kind. He lives just one block from the apartments and he is always willing to help with everything. The apartment has a washing -drying machine which was very convenient. The location is good, 15 minutes walking to the main part of the centre and there are several pubs, restaurants and the river in the same street. Maybe the only drawback is the shower, it is small and the pressure of the water is low. In general, I fully recommend this place.
Thank you! Shower power is now sorted.

"Loved staying here."
A very warm welcome form the owner, who gave a full guided tour of the studio, which is comfortable and very well equipped. The location is brilliant - everything we needed was within easy walking distance - shops, restaurants, colleges, the river and (our favourite) Kettles Yard, is almost next door.
We loved being able to spend the day in the city and to have such a comfortable 'home' to come back to.
Thank you very much!

"Bright Studio, Convenient Location"
My wife and I stayed at the Bells Apartment studio for a week in early April. The owner, Mr. Loizou, lives very nearby and and is available for assistance if needed. He clearly keeps this studio in tip top shape. The studio is roomy, bright, and very clean and tidy. The two beds were comfortable, with nice comforters. Although a studio, it has a small separate kitchen which had everything we needed for the week, including a coffee maker. It even had kitchen soap and new sponges for washing up. It has a small bathroom, with plenty of good towels, and a heated towel rack--which my wife and I loved.The studio has a flat screen TV, clock radio and a CD player. It is also well heated, which was appreciated when the nights turned very cool for the week. It also has several nice pubs, restaurants, and coffee shops in the immediate vicinity, is very convenient to the bus route to Histon/Cottingham, and only 10-15 minute walk into the center of Cambridge. We highly recommend the Bells studio for anyone looking for a reasonably priced studio for a holiday in Cambridge.
Thank you!

"A lovely place to stay"
This is a really nice place to stay. It's so near to the town center and the Cam, it only takes about five minutes by foot. The rooms are very nice and clean, and the manager is lovely. I can recommend this flat to anyone wanting to stay in Cambridge for a few days.
Thank you. Nice having you.

"Perfect location for enjoying and exploring Cambridge"
1. Location. The location of the apartment COULD NOT BE BETTER. Everything of interest is within walking distance. You feel like you are living in the historic centre of Cambridge. It is literally 2 minutes walk to the River Cam and Magdalene College and St John's College. It is only 1 minute walk from Kettle's Yard Art Gallery and it's collection of Gaudier-Brzeska sculpture.
2. The apartment. The apartment is clean and comfortable. The beds are modern and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is clean and functional. There is wi-fi which worked perfectly and there is a private (shared) entrance. Clean towels every day and the parking facilities were a huge advantage.
3. Overall summary. This apartment is absolutley ideal for exploring Cambridge. It is perfectly located and has all the facilities you need and would expect. The owner is very friendly and knowledgable about the city and it's history. He is a real Cambridge enthusiast. He seems genuinely concerned that everything about your stay is to your satisfaction. I have recommended the apartment to friends and family."
Thank you! See you again I hope.

Stone thrower-in-chief: Abati's shameless dance
SIR: Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Reuben Abati's futile and appalling exercise at defending President Goodluck Jonathan mounting garbage of unexplainable gaffes and public relations deficiency last week assumed a most remarkable failure.
Abati shamelessly tried to justify a President's penchant for gaffes and in the process cast aspersions on respectable and distinguished journalists whose only offence was performing their constitutional roles as the conscience of the nation. In the article "Much Ado about Stones" Abati, an erstwhile brilliant scholar however undid himself by taking his war of attrition to several fronts namely; Former Governor of Bayelsa State Timipre Sylva, Ayodele Akinkotu of Tell magazine, Sam Omatseye of The Nation and the newspaper itself.
Abati had accused the columnists and The Nation of being the mouthpiece of the former Bayelsa governor as the advice contained in the 'offensive' articles were "calculated to please former Bayelsa governor Timipre Sylva." Save for his misguided attempt to draw Governor Sylva into a needless exchange of words, Abati's article was painfully lightweight.
Abati had claimed that President Jonathan's unpresidential speech in which he not only deplorably justified the throwing of stones and further recommended stone throwing as a treatment for inaction on the part of a public servant was not after all a justification for such primitive and uncivilized action but a speech in excellent metaphor.
If President Jonathan has a penchant for using embodied words and sentences laced with the supernatural and hidden meanings, and if he presides over a largely uninitiated population which do not appreciate his literary gifting, he will need to henceforth speak the language of mortals and the simple and issues on "embodied meanings" will need not arise.
But Abati crossed the boundary of rationality when he accused governor Sylva of purveying "discreditable lies" and seeking to "denigrate the office of the President. For all men of honour and those who aspire to integrity, this is nothing but an imagery generated from a fantastic imagination of the Presidential spokesperson, to cover up the salient points contained in Sylva's response. What Sylva did was to match the President's "embodied meanings and coded contexts" in logic leaving Nigerians in general and Bayelsans in particular to draw out the conclusions themselves. Where there had been obvious misrepresentation of facts, Sylva simply drew the attention to the truth as exemplified in the reference to the Tower Hotel.
Why is Abati not responding to Sylva's indictment of the contractor who was handling the Tower Hotel project? Is it true that there have been a N5 billion variation in the cost of contract? Is it true that the Sylva administration has actually taken the hotel from the second floor where it was abandoned by the Jonathan administration to the 18th floor before the powers-that-be threw spanners in the wheel of progress? Is it true that the contractor hired by GEJ as Bayelsa governor is building a house for him at Otuoke, his home town?
Towards the eclipse of his diatribe, Abati accused the distinguished writers of hard hearing and low intellectual capacity to assimilate his "embodied" sentences. This is downright childish and ironical. Abati had earlier conceded to these writers their degree of informed and intellectual capacities. What he sought to achieve by this offensive may well dwell in the realms of hidden and coded contexts. Abati need no Mark Anthony to outline the tangible progress our nation has made under President Jonathan. The statistics speak for it. And if there have been progress, he need not bother himself; the people would see it as no one can argue with success.

'Ellen' Celebrates 'Pranksgiving' With Favorite Hidden Camera Gags (VIDEO)
Ellen DeGeneres celebrates "Pranksgiving" with a montage of her favorite hidden camera gags on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (weekdays, syndicated). After all, nothing evokes the holiday more than celebrities and regular people behaving bizarrely.
'Minute to Win It' - Beauty Queens Eat Cookies Without Using Their Hands (VIDEO)
The cookie was placed on top of the women's eyes ... and then they had to move it down to their mouths. So they winked, twitched, and wiggled in order to win the contest. Cookie-eating has seldom seemed so alluring before. The former Miss Puerto Rico got the cookie in her mouth first -- she attributed her victory to a lack of Botox, which made her face more flexible. Good to know!
Bush and Cheney Take Power on 'The Special Relationship' (VIDEO)
[Spoiler alert.]
Preview: Dennis Quaid as Bill Clinton in 'The Special Relationship' (VIDEO)
Quaid reportedly packed on the pounds by hitting McDonald's every day to play President Bill Clinton in HBO's new flick 'The Special Relationship.'
NY Mag's Vulture blog pointed us in the direction of this brief clip for the TV movie, about the relationship between Clinton and Britain's former Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen). The film also stars Hope Davis as Hillary Clinton and Helen McCroy as Cherie Blair.
'The Special Relationship' airs Sat., May 29 at 9PM on HBO.
Is the Clinton/Blair relationship really the Clinton movie people want to see?
Even if you don't go with the most sensational stories, there is a certain historic Presidential campaign. Hell, tell both stories from her perspective, that should be fun. Casting, should HBO greenlight the film, has Dennis Quaid playing Bill, Julianne Moore taking on the current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Michael Sheen (who played Frost in the aforementioned Frost/Nixon) playing Tony Blair. This would be his third film appearance as Blair, which makes you wonder if more people think Blair looks like Sheen than Blair.
A happy 10th birthday to Mr. Squarepants
I didn't realize that the late 90s offered up so many cartoons that are still around today. A week or so ago, I mentioned that The Powerpuff Girls were celebrating a 10th birthday with a Cartoon Network special and complete DVD box set. Now comes news that a certain walking and talking sponge is celebrating a 10-year anniversary, as well.
Nickelodeon's pants-wearing sponge will be celebrating his decade of entertainment in a number of ways. If you go to the new SpongeBob.com you'll have a chance to play SpongeBob games, watch SpongeBob videos, and read the blog of Mr. SquarePants' creators. If you watch any of the networks of the MTV universe (which Nickelodeon is a part of) you'll be able to view a documentary on the character and its popularity. Finally, if you can wait a few months, you will be able to catch some new SpongeBob SquarePants episodes featuring Dennis Quaid (March) and Johnny Depp (April).
Ten actors I want to see on TV

The event will provide an opportunity for you to learn more about the Oxford MBA and Executive MBA (EMBA) programmes. Alumni who will attend the event will be happy to share their experience of the programme with you. Should you wish to attend the information session, please book a ticket.

The Oxford MBA is a full-time one-year programme comprising an intensive series of stimulating lectures, energetic seminars and small group work, which can take students anywhere in the world. In little more than a decade, the Oxford MBA has become one of the best one-year programmes in the world. In the Financial Times' Global ranking (Jan 2012) the MBA programme is ranked number 20 in the world. We offer a flexible, but rigorous course delivered by international scholars.
The Oxford Executive MBA is designed to help senior professionals realise their potential whilst delivering international general management competence to their organisations. Although the course content is identical to the one-year full time MBA, the EMBA is delivered in a more flexible format of 17 one-week modules starting in January each year and concluding in September of the following year. More than 60% of Oxford EMBA participants do not live in the UK.
Should you require any further information about the event, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We look forward to meeting you in New York.

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
I was born and raised in Las Vegas getting to see all of the changes this town has gone through over the years. I was in Show business for a little bit when I was a kid and recently I have thought about getting back into that life. I love racing motorcycles and off-road cars kinda my passion if you couldn't tell. I like to exercise daily if I can by running, cycling, going to the gym, and try to eat healthy if I can as well. I like to be active, but at the same time I do enjoy just sitting at home and relaxing by being a bum on my days off. I am very easy going, caring, laid back and like to have fun. I'm tired of playing games with people that I meet that aren't on the same page as I am. I'm just looking for some one to share my passions with and have fun. But it seems to be hard to do that in this town lately. Hence, why I'm on here to meet new people and hopefully find the right one too. Want to know more about me just ask!

I hope they serve beer in Hell

accidentally skipping a gear in downshift
View Single Post
Joined: Jul 2009
Location: Chandler, AZ
Oddometer: 5,069
I saw a brand new dirt bike ridden by a beginner completely explode from doing that a few years ago. I believe it was a Honda XR250. Seems the rider was going pretty fast in top gear, and downshifted it all the way to first gear, and let the clutch out, scattering engine and transmission parts all over the place. The sudden shock cracked the case in several places where the crank and trans shaft bearings were mounted. One of the shafts was sticking way out through a large hole in the case.
When I first started teaching my kids how to ride MANY years ago, I drilled it into them to never downshift more than once without letting the clutch out. After a few years they learned how much they needed to downshift depending on their speed and the gear they were in. Two kids, they went through 6 dirt bikes, as they got older, still have the last 2, and never damaged a single one, or themselves. Both girls, today they can ride as good as any guy.

Nforce make line in the rear channel
I have an ASUS A7N 266 VM Motherboard (nForce). I can use the line in port of the on board audio as rear channel in Windows. But can I enable this feature in Linux.
I tried for some time with the ALSA and OSS driver but failed miserably
Any help will be appreciated ...
afaik it is not supported yet :(
u could use the line in as rear channel using ALSA driver, but u won't have multi stream though....
Can u sent me some information as to how to do this .. ie I installed alsa drivers alright bu can't get them to make the line in the rear channel...
if not then grab it and install it.
After installed, execute it and tick on the tick box labelled as "Line in As Surround"
then don't forget to unmute surround
that's it :D
good luck

Letter: While hard-working capitalists pay twice, Obama's cronies seem to cash in
Ronnie Hulick, Fort Pierce
Letter: While hardworking capitalists pay twice, Obama's cronies seem to cash in
Picture a man who has a business; he makes a profit and pays taxes on that amount. He invests some of the profit for his future or old age. He must pay 15 percent on any earnings from his investment. That's the government "double dipping." Now the government wants more. Hence the class warfare.
The communists in our midst are threatened by wealthy people, for instance the Koch Brothers. Many of our leaders are disciples of Saul Alinsky, the 20th century Karl Marx.
Solar firm Solyndra got $528 million of the taxpayers' money. George Kaiser, a major donor to Barack Obama and majority Solyndra stakeholder, took his share, paid of his executives and declared bankruptcy. Did he also kick back to anyone? Our gutless leaders in Congress should find out. Instead, they are just talking heads, enamored with seeing their faces on TV
Kenneth Feinberg is in charge of distributing the $28 billion given by BP for the fishermen who lost their livelihoods in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi due to the oil spill. I called the offices of the senators of Louisiana and Alabama for information. One said, "I don't know." The other said, in a sneering tone, "Why don't you call BP?"
Obama appointed 18 czars without the approval of Congress. What are they doing?

Effects of EDTA versus media storage of patient blood samples on flow cytometric results. Peripheral blood cells were (a) stained immediate following collection with CD11b and CADO48A or maintained in EDTA collection tubes for (b) 24 or (c) 48 hours or in media for (d) 24 or (e) 48 hours prior to staining with CD11b and CADO48A. Both EDTA and media samples were kept refrigerated. These findings show a decrease over time of population distinction in EDTA with minimal changes when cells are kept in media up to 48 hours. All cells were gated on P1.
