Man konnte es in Berlin beobachten. Als der Economist im Sommer 2013 in einer aufwendigen Titelgeschichte Deutschland als "zögerlichen Hegemon" bezeichnete, fühlte sich die deutsche Außenpolitik seltsam geschmeichelt. Natürlich wurde in offiziellen Reaktionen die Assoziation zwischen Deutschland und "Hegemon" als nicht passend zu einer "Kultur der Zurückhaltung" (Guido Westerwelle) zurückgewiesen. Aber in vielen Hintergrundgesprächen schwang …Read More

In the final lead-up to the German elections on September 22, Andrei Markovits and Joesph Klaver look at how Europe features in the campaign.

The Dead Will Rise
When Samantha (Jessica Drake) reopens the tomb of Neferkala (Kaylani Lei) first discovered 20 years earlier by her father (Randy Spears), she releases a sexual animal that has survived through millennia.

The area underneath Heth's Run bridge—a portion of Butler Street between Morningside and Highland Park—had long been a dumping site for industrial waste. City Councilwoman Deb Gross, whose district includes the area, said many of her constituents didn't even know a bridge was there. But that area is slated to get a major facelift, which Gross said has been a long time coming. Photos: At Highland Park Track, Cyclists Are Put Through Their Paces By Haldan Kirsch • Aug 7, 2013 Haldan Kirsch / 90.5 WESA Fifteen years ago, the Allegheny Cycling Association was hosting their summer cycling races in the parking lot of the Pittsburgh Zoo. Today, racers have found a more fitting home at the Bud Harris Cycling Track in Highland Park. Formerly a driver training course, according to the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, the track is a half-mile concrete oval featuring banked walls and a slight hill.

I promise to lie about how we met :)
Hmm, it's always hard to put the essence of your character into a small box. Here goes :) I'm a very loving, loyal, passionate and real person. I know who I am and what I want out of life and hope to find the same in someone else. I love hiking, the outdoors, being active, movies, dinner, drinks and of course, cuddling on the couch. I'm playful and have a wicked sense of humor, although I tend to be shy at first. I'm easy going and forgiving by nature with an affinity for a sharp sense of humor. I have no idea what's going to happen, and I love it! :) I try to live in gratitude every day for the wonderful life I enjoy. I am infinitely curious, I believe everything has a purpose and I don't believe in coincidences. If you've ever been moved to tears or pumped up for your day by a piece of music, or been awed by the view from the top of a mountain, we should definitely talk! I also love travel, feeding my internet addiction, trying new restaurants, reading, hiking, galleries, street festivals, etc. I also like to grab a drink, talk for hours and laugh, laugh, laugh. I'm up for just about anything but the people make the activity and being with cool people always makes for the best time no matter what we do. I value friendships with people who are intelligent but not necessarily intellectual, confident but not arrogant, who can handle healthy debate, are not afraid to agree to disagree, and who want to try new things and live their lives instead of watching them go by. I like people who place value in the intention behind their efforts, not only in the outcome. I try to surround myself with positive people of various backgrounds who are inspiring, thoughtful, unconditional, positive, open-minded and with whom I can laugh and learn from. . I have a phenomenal group of friends and I enjoy that they have a large role in my life; they're an excellent extended family. I am attracted to feminine/sporty intelligent, compassionate, and quick witted women. Someone who is passionate about what they believe in and is willing to stand up for those beliefs. . Someone who loves caffeine in the morning, listening to inspired souls during the day and the conversations before we fall asleep. Someone who wants to enjoy everything life has to offer, and is not afraid to jump in with a fierce spirit. If you would like to know more or have any questions, let me know, Hope to hear from you soon.

Please welcome author Daniel Brook and reviewer Rick Perlstein for our book chat, and keep the conversation on topic. Thanks! Other open discussion can go on for the fresh topic thread just below this one. The original version of this review ran here: be sure to bookmark Rick's blog! Also, to buy the book, one option for you is here.
Brook's got guts. Because frankly, his topic – the fate of the best and brightest graduates of our top-flight universities – sounds like a subject for whiners. Who cares about them, right? They'll do fine on their own. What do the lifestyle and career choices they make after college have to do with the well-being, moral and material, of the rest of us?
A whole lot, Brook has me convinced. Their plight is a window onto the fate of nothing less than American liberty itself – and how the right has run it into the ground.
The book begins, provocatively enough, by quoting Barry Goldwater's 1964 nomination speech – the one in which he proclaimed, "extremism in defense of liberty is no vice." What he also said was, "The tide has been running against freedom…. In our vision of a good and decent future, free and peaceful, there must be room for the liberation of the energy and talent of the individual… Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our own time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism."
What's the argument? That conservatives' tragic misunderstanding of freedom has produced exactly what Goldwater feared most: stifling the energy and talent of the individual, crushing creative differences, forcing conformity – and, yes, even leading us to despotism (and I'm not talking about habeas corpus or NSA spying). By methodically undermining the public's will and ability to underwrite the public good, systematically accelerating economic inequality, and making turning oneself into a commodity – "selling out" – the only possible route for young people who wish a reasonably secure middle class existence, conservatives killed liberty. The canary in the coal mine is the death of young people's "freedom to live adult lives typified by choice rather than economic compulsion."
And, despite all Goldwater's guff about honoring "our founding fathers," conservatives did it by dragging our founders through the mud.
Take the destruction of affordable public college education – a development for which Ronald Reagan was in the forefront, as the first governor of California to impose a tuition for students at state universities. WWTJD – What Would Thomas Jefferson Do? He expressly established the University of Virginia as a haven for bright students "Whose parents are too poor to given them further education," who Jefferson proposed could be "carried at public expense through the colleges and university." Now, at the University of Virginia, only 8 percent of the students come from the bottom half of Virginia families, and only 8 percent of the 2005 budget came from taxpayer funds. They should take down the statue of Jefferson. It's not his university any more.
It's not his nation any more, either. Jefferson argued that too much economic inequality violated "natural right," and proposed "to exempt from all taxation [property] below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise." You and I know that as a progressive income tax, but Barry Goldwater, who claimed to revere Jefferson, must have missed that part of his oeuvre. In Conscience of a Conservative, he put it in italics: government has a right to claim an equal percentage of each man's wealth, and no more.
Brooks shows conservatives drag the classical thinkers they claim to revere through the mud as well. I love Brook's find that the first society with a progressive income tax was ancient Athens – "In its earlier tyrannical period, the Athenians had lived under an imposed flat tax" – and I love the way he uses it to demonstrate how an economically just society is for that reason the only truly free one: "Consequently, democratic Athens became the world's first society to fully unleash its most talented citizens. Among the free male population at least, Athenians were free to pursue their talents, writing plays and philosophical texts, not merely making money, the great preoccupation of both underdeveloped societies and dramatically unequal societies like our own." And he notes that "one of Athens' greatest unleashed talents, the philosopher Aristotle, discerned a connection between a society dominated by the middle class and political stability and justice. The rich and poor…were prone to criminality…while the middle class obeyed the laws. He concluded that a just and well-run state must be controlled by a middle-class majority."
Were conservatives better multiculturalists, they might be interested to learn that Confucius agreed. But they don't even listen to their own conservative forebears – for instance, Andrew Mellon, who said "the fairness of taxing more lightly incomes from wages [than] from investments is beyond question." It really is transcendent moral wisdom, echoing across the ages.
Instead, because investments are taxed so lightly, America has for all practical purposes adopted what only tyrannies had before – a flat tax: "Americans making $50,000 to $75,000 pay the same percentage of their incomes in taxes as the four hundred highest-income families in the country."
It hasn't given us Athens. It's given us a world that better resembles Thomas Hobbes's state of nature: "No Arts; no Letters," as Brook quotes him – or more broadly, no chance for us to flourish to the best of our abilities.
Brook's portrait of the generation that grew up with Reaganism and the choices they face graduating from college now is striking. They can't afford to go into public service, even though a 2005 survey showed that public service was the most desired profession at top universities; Washington-area real estate is so expensive, he points out, that people are commuting from as far away as West Virginia. (not a problem, by the way, for Heritage Foundation interns; they have subsidized room and board at a $12 million Capitol Hill dormitory.) It is, in fact, a vicious cycle: "only a return to more egalitarian economic policies could free talented young people to fight for the social change so many of them believe in. But without such a change, a broad-based movement for reform is much harder to build."
What with all that college debt, they can't afford to go into much of anything except for the fields that immediately dangle the biggest the biggest paycheck in front of them. He writes about the recruiter for a law firm who boasts that his firm allows for its associates to have one outside hobby (his is reading); the banker forced to cancel her honeymoon in favor of an office project. If a mad scientist tried to devise a system to best stifle "room for the liberation of the energy and talent of the individual," he couldn't do a better job than this.
Brook, citing the social critic Brendan Koerner, calls college debt America's new "ambition tax." Inspired by Brook, I coined some other new taxes bequeathed to us by the demons a triumphant Goldwaterism has set lose. There is, for instance, the "idealism tax." In 1980, a University of Chicago student paid a $5,100 tuition – and, if her heart called her to teach in a Chicago public school, earn two and a half times that: not impractical. Now the relevant numbers are $31,500 and $38,500. Brook's stuff on teachers and even mayors priced out of the cities they serve is devastating.
There is, too, the "public school" tax. Brook cites one of the most shattering public policy insights of our age, the fact that there is no longer any reasonable distinction between "equality of opportunity" and "equality of outcome" when those who can't afford to live in the most expensive neighborhoods, whose high property taxes support the best "public" schools, can't provide a decent education for their children. In California, Proposition 13 has turned "public" schools into de facto private ones, where ordinary amenities are paid for by tax-deductible local foundations. "Funding to Navato Public Schools from the state of California will never be what it should be for a stimulating, quality education. Support your local public school and students by donating today!" Thus does Goldwaterism bequeath us the makings of a hereditary aristocracy.
Most damning for conservatives who actually think they've accomplished something for freedom these twenty-six-plus years since Ronald Reagan's inauguration is the "entrepreneur tax." Put simply, in a society where to fail in business is to make economic survival impossible, fewer and fewer are willing to take the chance. Where are entrepreneurs better off? Dreaded Old Europe, according to the quite conservative Financial Times: "With its low [real estate] costs and generous welfare net, Berlin is an entrepreneurs' heaven, where barriers to entry are low and failure rarely entails personal ruin." Brook claims, counter intuitively, that America's self-employment rate is lower than it has been in decades. What if you do give it a go? "[T]he holes in the American safety net, health care chief among them, make entrepreneurship and family life mutually exclusive." That's not freedom.
No, conservatives kill freedom. That's my message this Independence Day. They kill the possibility of future of economic dynamism, the flourishing of the human spirit, the family, diversity, the arts. They didn't mean to; grant them that. Barry Goldwater's words about a good and decent future, free and peaceful, with room for the liberation of the energy and talent of the individual – all that by gutting government and killing taxes!! – suggest a genuine nobility of intention.
But so what. Now they've gone and done it: killed our New Deal social democracy. It's left our young people nothing but traps. It leaves me wanting to quote Barry Goldwater's nomination speech again, against Barry Goldwater: "We must, and we shall, return to proven ways – not because they are old, but because they are true."

You'll Never Get Rich was the first of two films made by Fred Astaire at Columbia, and also the first in which he was paired with his favorite female dancing partner--not Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse, but Rita Hayworth. Fred and Rita play a team of Broadway dancers whose partnership is abruptly rent asunder when Fred is drafted into the Army. Unable to adapt to military routine, Astaire frequently ends up in the guardhouse; during one of these visits, he and the Delta Rhythm Boys collaborate on the lively song-and-dance number "The A-starable Rag." Back to the plot: Rita shows up on the army base as the girl friend of captain John Hubbard. This leads to more fancy footwork, and, of course, a happy ending for our stars. Though the Cole Porter score yielded no hits, one of the songs, "Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye", was nominated for an Academy Award. Robert Benchley provides comic relief, as he would in the subsequent Astaire vehicle The Sky's the Limit. You'll Never Get Rich was followed by the even better Astaire-Hayworth pairing You Were Never Lovelier. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Narrow your search
If you're looking for a higher-end sound bar with excellent movie sound, advanced streaming features and full control of dialogue intelligibility, then the Polk Omni SB1 fits the bill well.

The LG LFC22770ST performs well enough to be worth your consideration if you're looking for a small French door fridge, but you can find fridges that cost less and make better use of limited space.
The Creative Sound Blaster X7 offers a ridiculous number of features for the money and sound quality is generally very good, but its appeal is limited.
For everyday action photography, the D7200 promises longer bursts and built-in Wi-Fi.
The Sharp HT-SB602 offers plenty of features, a wide soundstage and high-energy movie playback, but its overall sound quality can't stand up to similarly priced rivals.

Jetpack processes are created by
nsIJetpackService interfaces, and their parent chrome process communicates with them via a
nsIJetpack interface.
These processes are relatively lightweight, don't have access to XPCOM, and can innately do little other than compute. Messaging facilities that allow them to communicate with their parent chrome process are the only means by which they can be endowed with any real power.
Privileged APIs
When script is evaluated in a Jetpack process via a call to
nsIJetpack.evalScript(), the script's global scope is endowed with the following privileged APIs:
sendMessage(aMessageName [, v1 [, v2 [, ...]]])
- Similar to
nsIJetpack.sendMessage(), this function asynchronously sends a message to the chrome process.
callMessage(aMessageName [, v1 [, v2 [, ...]]])
- This function is like
sendMessage()but sends the message synchronously. It returns an
Arraywhose elements are the return values of each receiver in the chrome process that was triggered by the message.
registerReceiver(aMessageName, aReceiver)
- Similar to
nsIJetpack.registerReceiver(), this function registers a callback that's triggered when the chrome process sends a message with the given name.
unregisterReceiver(aMessageName, aReceiver)
- Similar to
nsIJetpack.unregisterReceiver(), this function unregisters a callback previously registered with
- Similar to
nsIJetpack.unregisterReceivers(), this function unregisters all callbacks for the given message name.
- Similar to
nsIJetpack.createHandle(), this function creates a new handle and returns it.
- This creates a new JavaScript sandbox and returns its global scope. This global scope does not contain privileged APIs, or any non-standard JavaScript objects for that matter, though new globals can be endowed by simply attaching them to the global scope as properties.
evalInSandbox(aSandbox, aScript)
- Evaluates the given script contents in the given sandbox's global scope. At minimum, JavaScript 1.8.1 is used. Individual lines of the form
//@line 1 "foo.js"can be used to specify filename and line number information for debugging purposes.
- Synchronously performs garbage collection.
Messages that communicate between the browser and jetpack process may contain only serializable (JSON) data and handles. A handle can be used to provide context for messages. Either the browser or the jetpack implementation may create a handle. A handle keeps any arbitrary properties attached to it alive, and has the following native methods and properties:
- Invalidates the handle. Either process may invalidate a handle when it is no longer useful.
- Creates a child handle which becomes invalid when its parent does. This is useful for associating handles to the lifetime of a particular window, context menu, or other element, and helping ensure that they do not leak.
- The parent handle of the object, if any. Read-only.
- Whether the handle is still valid or not. Read-only.
- Whether the handle is GC rooted or not. Read-write.
- A callback to call when the handle is garbage collected, either through an explicit call to
invalidate()or being unrooted and then unreachable. The callback is only called from the process that the handle wasn't garbage collected in. Read-write.
A handle that is created without a parent stays alive until it is either explicitly invalidated or unrooted.
See {{ Bug("556846") }} and {{ Bug("578821") }} for details.

The updated identity sees the Rugby Football League rebrand as the RFL.
Created by Surrey-based design agency The Jones's and Leeds-based Intermarketing, the new visual identity is more modern and simple than the previous logo.
Simon Malcolm, RFL director of marketing and corporate communications, said: "We have to achieve our goals and develop our activities in an increasingly competitive and complex world. In such an environment, a clear and relevant identity is vital.
"At the same time, we need to convey the right messages and proactively manage our reputation among stakeholders, supporters and colleagues."
The RFL has started the process of distributing the new logo and guidelines for its use. The organisation is also preparing to release details of how the review will effect the identities of the sport's league, cup and international brands.
"We want the RFL to be seen as modern, dynamic, commercial, caring and professional," Malcolm added. "In short, we want to be setting the standards for one of the very best sports governing bodies in the UK."

Is violence back in Niger Delta?
The Niger Delta seems set to explode again, with a series of explosions recorded in the last few days. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), which was at the heart of past violence in the region, has claimed responsibility for the renewed hostilities. Is it back to teh era of bombs and bullets? SHOLA O'NEIL writes
Indications that all might not be well in the creeks of the Niger Delta emerged on Friday, February 4, when a group of ex-militants destroyed the Brass trunk line of the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) in Bayelsa State. The multi-factional umbrella group of warlords in the oil-rich region, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack.
Before the dust settled on the attack, a popular hotel in Osubi, near Warri, Delta State, Lawfab was rocked by a massive explosion. The incident occurred in the the morning. Barely six hours earlier, ex-militants quartered there protested what they described as shabby treatment by the Amnesty Committee, the consultant handing their rehabilitation training and the hotel management.
Although nobody has yet claimed responsibility for the Lawfab incident, MEND speaking, through its faceless spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, owned up to the NAOC attack and a previous incident at the country home of a minister. He listed a number of grievances as the reason for the actions and vowed that the group would cripple the oil industry in the next few days.
Before the attacks, the rumour was rife in riverside communities that disgruntled former MEND leaders were regrouping and recruiting disenchanted foot soldiers who were not included in the Amnesty Programme.
On February 3, a group of ex-militants threatened to return to the creeks following the failure of the Kingsley Kuku-led Amnesty Committee to include them in the over N120 billion Amnesty Programme. In fact, barely hours before the pipeline was destroyed, the group, under the auspices of Amnesty Phase 3 ex-militants, had at a meeting in Bomadi, headquarters of Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State, threatened to renounce the deal midwifed by the late President Umaru Yar'Adua in 2010.
The leader of the Delta State wing of the group, 'General' Ekiyes Para, gave the Federal Government a two-week ultimatum to address their complaints or risk the collapse of the oil industry in the area. He advised foreigners to quit the region before the expiration of the deadline.
But, that warning was not the first by aggrieved ex-militants. Last year, traffic on the busy Lokoja– Abuja highway was stuck for several hours following a protest by some youths claiming to be ex-militants.
Similar blockades were mounted on the East/West Highway, particularly at Mbiama Junction leading to Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital and others.
The Joint Task Force (JTF), whose code-name was changed from Operation Restore Hope to Operation Pulo (Oil) Shield, blamed it on charlatans and persons who did not mean well for the region. JTF's image-maker Lt. Colonel Timothy Antigha warned communities harbouring criminals of deadly consequences. In a further reaction on Monday afternoon, the JTF media coordinator released the names of seven persons, mostly members of the disgruntled 3rd Phase Amnesty protesters as masterminds of the attack. They are: Friday Burutu,Lord Onipa, Robinson Agagudu, Eyala Karo,Stanley Uduorie, Para Ekiye and Ramson Omukoro.
Investigation by The Nation revealed that the matter might not be so open-and-close as the JTF has assumed. In fact, our checks revealed that more than anything, the attacks may continue in view of growing disenchantment with the amnesty package and rivalry among the ex-militants.
Before the February 4 attack, there were handwritings on the wall that were either not deciphered, misread or were ignored. The home of one of the militant leaders in Bayelsa State, 'General Africa', was attacked in late January. At least three persons, including policemen deployed to safeguard the house, were shot during the midnight attack. It was blamed on armed robbers and sea pirates even though residents of the town said the attackers had good knowledge of the area. His former boys, perhaps? That is hard to tell.
One of the grievances of the aggrieved foot soldiers is the refusal of Kuku's committee to credit their individual accounts during the payment of their monthly stipends. It was gathered that most of the youths are not happy that the fund is transferred to the accounts of the ex-militant leaders who then pay them whatever they deem fit and when they want.
Again on January 24, the country home of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe in Ogbobagbene, Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, was bombed. The gate was blown open, after which the palatial home and an accompanying cathedral were ransacked. A statement initially credited to the minister said he fingered the ousted governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, as the mastermind.
But MEND has finally put the question over who did it to rest. Gbomo, while claiming responsibility for the Friday's assault, said: "MEND wishes to confirm that our fighters were responsible for the attack at Ogbobagbene in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, on the compound of Godsday Orubebe, Minister of Niger Delta."
What remains unanswered is why the house was attacked. The Nation gathered that the brewing crisis transcends agitation for the betterment of the region but also involves disagreement among the former warlords following President Goodluck Jonathan's alleged patronage to a section of the ex-militants' leaders.
An aggrieved former 'general' of MEND, who spoke on condition of anonymity, accused Jonathan of dividing and ruling the Ijaw nation and the ex-militants.
A source said: "The President has graded the ex-militants by his own standard and their abilities to do damage. The special ones and their boys are receiving all the best contracts and the best recognition, while others get nothing. You will recall that recently one of the ex-warlords got a multi-million naira contract, inspite of the wide outrage.
"Some people are also angry that their contributions are not being recognised. It is this attitude that led to the rivalry between Okah and Tompolo. That same anger led to the October 1, 2010 attack at the Eagle Square."
Investigations revealed that a section of the warlords and activists in the region are unhappy with Ijaw personalities that are appointed and empowered by the President. Specifically, it was gathered that Orubebe, Kuku and the Minister for Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Alison-Madueke, have not endeared themselves to some of the ex-militants.
Gbomo, in a statement, said the the government is more concerned with enriching its key figures and family members than attending to the problems of the Niger Delta and the continuously depreciating standard of living of the ordinary Nigerian.
Comrade Austine Ozobo of Ijaw Development Initiative, in an interview with The Nation Evening Express, said: "I do not subscribe to violence because I am an advocate of peace and development. But the militants who stormed Ogbogbabene, Burutu, on a mission to destroy Orubebe's palatial home are not the only ones irritated by the wilful failure the minister has made of his portfolio. I say it is willful because Orubebe is failing to deliver on purpose."
The Nation gathered that some key associates of Henry Okah, who is facing trial for the Independence Day bombing, are determined to express their displeasure about his fate.
It was gathered that the plan to attack South African firms, such as MTN, SACOIL and others, is aimed at forcing the country to have a rethink about the trial. A similar ploy forced the Federal Government in 2009 to release Okah, after he was arraigned.
The Presidential Amnesty Office has, however, asked the security agencies to nip the hostilities in the bud.
In a statement, its spokeman, Henry Ugbolue, said: "Following the widely reported threat by persons claiming to be elements of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to resume hostilities in the Niger Delta, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and the Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku wishes to reiterate the confidence of the Presidential Amnesty Office in the ability of the nation's security agencies and Armed Forces to tackle security challenges in the Niger Delta as well as other parts of Nigeria.
"Similarly, Kuku condemns in the strongest terms possible the unconscionable attacks on the facilities of Agip by those who claim to be operatives of MEND and urges the nation's security agencies and Armed Forces to devise proactive and creative ways of nipping insecurity in the bud in the Niger Delta, which is the nation's oil and gas hub.
"Kingsley Kuku wishes to assure all stakeholders and the public that the posturing of a few persons will not dissuade the Federal Government from doggedly pursuing the ideals of the Presidential Amnesty Proclamation as well as the post-Amnesty Programme.
"On this score, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta urges stakeholders and the public to note that the Federal Government through the Amnesty Office is currently pursuing with profound vigour, the reintegration of the already demobilised 26,358 Niger-Delta ex-agitators enrolled in the Amnesty Programme.
"Following the completion of their non-violence training and career classification in camps in Obubra (Cross River) and Akodo (Lagos), the Amnesty Office has successfully placed a total of 7,395 former combatants in skills acquisition/training centres as well as in formal education within the country and offshore. Of this number, 3,078 are being trained offshore while the balance of 4,317 has been placed in either formal education or skill acquisition centres within the country.
"Similarly, 12,067 transformed ex-combatants are currently being processed preparatory to their deployment to reintegration centres to pursue either formal education or vocational training.
"He maintained that as at today, the Amnesty Programme has been of benefit to 33 local training centres in 12 states of the Federation; while the 3,357 ex-agitators placed in offshore educational and skill acquisition centres are in the United States of America, Italy, Russia, South Africa, Malaysia, Israel, Sri Lanka, India, Benin Republic, Cyprus, Poland, Ghana, Belarus, United Arab Emirates, The Philippines as well as Trinidad and Tobago.
"More of the trainees are due to be deployed to skill acquisition facilities in Greece, Germany, Canada and England."

The Washington Redskins promoted offensive tackle Tom Compton from the practice squad to take the active roster spot of cornerback Cedric Griffin. Griffin was suspended for the rest of the regular season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Compton was a sixth-round draft pick by the Redskins this year out of South Dakota. He has yet to appear in an NFL game. The Redskins also added two players to their practice squad, linebacker Kourtnei Brown and defensive back Korey Lindsey. Brown was an undrafted rookie out of Clemson this year. He was with the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason. Lindsey was a seventh-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011, but he failed to make the team. He has spent time on the practice squads of the Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Gallery: 10 MW Dubai Skyscraper Makes 10X More Renewable Energy Than It...
4 Comments
Dr George Mamulashvili June 30, 2011 at 8:23 am
Modern solar-wind technologies in the world architecture. It is important that modern architecture has turned its attention to the latest technologies in renewable energy. Architectural bureau Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture is different in that it is the first time already in this century has used in the design of skyscrapers, such as Kingdom Tower is widely known in the past century construction technology of Solar Towers, producing clean energy. The first tower built Germany's "Schlaich Bergermann und Partners" in 1980 in Spain. She was a pilot and produce only 50 kW of power with a turbine propeller type. Although it took after almost 40 years, and in recent years the government of leading European countries pay little attention to these technologies, many researchers have developed various concepts and tried to put them in Israel, Germany, Russia, USA, UK and Australia (see . Website: http://www.solar-tower.org.uk/news-informations-en.php). I received an inventor's certificate vortex power plant in 1985, number 1319654. Technologies differ, but the essence of one – the ability to control air flow and benefit from this low-cost electricity. Artificial wind is good precisely because wind turbines are installed where power is constructed and the number of necessary capacity, at the same time the perception of the natural wind flow is possible only where they exist, at least for a year, known as the average measurement. The technology of the past century, although it has not been worked out for various reasons, including perhaps the hope of creating safe nuclear power plants in our time has lost its meaning as to pull the pipe air thermal power indefinitely in order to increase capacity is not economically feasible, but the use of a cyclone artificial air flow, allows you to set output at lower elevations with more compact dimensions. It is known that premium German Aerospace Society DLR scientists have for the experimental vortex installation height of only 12 meters which allows to get 10 kW of electrical energy from the rotating air flow in it. In principle, there are theoretical, but now and finite element analysis in the medium ANSYS, proving that the power of the vortex to reach 100 MW in power is possible at altitudes of up to 600 meters. This shows that the use of the world's leading architects in the design of such technologies can be effective for the full energy-independent buildings. For example, to provide the very tall skyscraper Burj Khalifa in Dubai 820 meters to 5,000 kW of instantaneous power needed for this vortex power plant up to 300 meters, which is comparable with the height of the skyscraper. The main design problem and their co-release of an exclusive building based suppliers of renewable and not all the time rising in price of electricity will be ensured for a long time.

Very ambitious indeed. Of the three systems mentioned the up draft system may not generate 2 MW unless of course it is of special design, but the attempt to incorporate three systems in a building is commendable, and if all buildings are designed in the same manner, the city may not require additional source of energy. Compliments to the lead architect Robert Ferry
desertEco March 10, 2010 at 1:10 pm
a certainly ambitious concept. I hope that Dubai Worlds recent debt crisis doesn't impact the progression of projects like this.
I have to commend the ambition and quick progression the UAE present with projects of this nature. I just wish that we in the western world could get behind ambitious and creative projects like this in our cities with equal speed.

2 MW solar updraft is just impossible, just hype.

I started at a new company that doesn't have much in the way of documentation, despite having countless servers around the globe. I'm working on a new wiki and server documentation project. SYDI should be a great start for getting server information at the least.
However, yesterday we encountered an issue where some of our servers were set to auto-negotitate instead of being hard-corded to 1000/Full.
T. J. Brumfield
Oops, it posted before I was done typing.
Anyway, looking on Google I'm not seeing much in the way of standard WMI calls to determine speed and duplex settings for NICs, sadly. Though Intel is a WMI provider.
I imagine Intel and Broadcom provide most server NICs. If you can get information on those two, you'd be doing pretty well.
It looks like I can get NIC speed from here:
`strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\WMI")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT * FROM MSNdis_LinkSpeed",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------"
Wscript.Echo "MSNdis_LinkSpeed instance"
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------"
Wscript.Echo "InstanceName: " & objItem.InstanceName
Wscript.Echo "NdisLinkSpeed: " & objItem.NdisLinkSpeed
The issue then becomes, finding the Duplex setting, which is usually in the registry.
This is where I'm stuck.

Modeling spatio-temporal dynamics of global wetlands
The RECORD Catchment project investigates what measures are most effective to influence the river corridor so that river restoration and groundwater flow systems can help to mitigate the effects of floods and droughts, in particular in the context of climate and global change. The study is centered on the Thur catchment. Future management strategies will be developed based on forecasted climate data in close collaboration with river managers of the Thur catchment. The project includes local- and catchment-scale studies and will improve our understanding of key processes at these scales, including subsurface-surface interactions, and links to climate drivers. The coupled hydrological and hydrogeological model to be developed for the Thur catchment will deliver the scientific basis for the decision making process. This will be done in close collaboration with the river managers. For the economic analysis, a dynamic economic model will be adapted which includes a Dynamic Water Use Model for the specific conditions of representative pilot areas with high potential of extracting water for different water consumption purposes and temporary water storage in retention areas. We provide the current RECORD field sites Niederneunforn/Altikon and Widen as well as the pre-alpine Rietholzbach catchment as long-term natural hydrological, atmospheric and ecological observatories to study water fluxes, ecological and biogeochemical interactions within the context of climate change. They provide field platforms for further studies and come with a comprehensive database, and the ability for data transfer and management. In the end, we plan to distribute a Document of Recommendations for Implementation of river restoration projects.

Chop the onion medium thin.
Wash the fresh basil and set aside.
Process the can of pelati.
On a medium high flame brown the onion...
When golden, pour the pelati, add salt, pepper and red pepper, and lower the flame to medium.
The cooking time is about 15 minutes...this is what it takes to the sauce to get to a nice consistency.
A few minutes before taking your sauce of the fire, put in the pan half of the basil...
Serve your dish; sprinkle the parmesan, grate the pepper, one or two leaves of basil...the olive oil!

help with XF86config-4
How can I edit this in runlevel3? I need to modify some lines and cant startx to do it.
I get an error that says "Failed to load module "GLcore". I want to remove this line.
Total linux newbie BTW.
You need to use a texteditor like vi for example. But vi is not that easy to use if you never used it before. An easy editor is mcedit part of midnight commander (a clone of the good old norton commander).
how to use vim
if you just want to comment-out a line do this:
vim /path/file
go to the line with the cursor keys.
press "i" (to go to insertion mode)
type "#" (to comment out the line)
press "ESCAPE" (to go back to command mode)
type ":x" (to save and quit)
I hope this helps
I use pico personally, it's much like the old DOS edit program without the annoying blue background :D Just make your changes, then hit ctrl-x to save, make sure the filename is correct, and hit enter.
as is pointed out in this nice reference link:
that line referring to GLCore should be deleted. The GLCore will be loaded by glx
That is a nice reference for GeForce users, but Im sure some others too... Now, If only I didnt forget my install discs at work, I could fix MY problem, hehe, oh well /shrug
p.s. - I use Pico too, you crazy vi users are whacky! :) just kiddin'
It works now.
Thanks a mil for everyone's help!!
