France remembers slavery victims
"It profited from the commerce in human beings... ripped from the African homeland," Junior Co-operation Minister Brigitte Girardin said in Senegal.
She was visiting a notorious slave island off the coast of Senegal.
In Paris, President Jacques Chirac said facing up to the colonial past was a "key to national cohesion".
He opened an art exhibition in Paris's Luxembourg Gardens while other cities and venues around France held their own ceremonies for Slavery Remembrance Day - the first such event in an EU state.
Wednesday's day of commemoration was ordered by Mr Chirac, on the fifth anniversary of the passing of a law by the French Senate recognising slavery as a crime against humanity.

Vernon Clayson - 5/13/2006
It's 2006 and France has recognized that slavery is a crime against humanity. France is the world's California, always starting new fads, soon they will recognize the world is round, pass a law and celebrate it annualy. In their defense, they take the blame, saying nothing about those who sold slaves to them. One could only hope that it isn't fear that holds them back from mentioning that it was a trade arrangement, surrendering to fear would spoil their image.

STOCKHOLM — U.S. researchers Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka on Wednesday shared the Nobel Chemistry Prize for their pioneering studies on cell receptors, which enable each cell to sense its environment, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
Their research on "G-protein-coupled receptors" could also contribute to developing better drugs, according to the Nobel Committee.
Receptors serve as sensors for cells, communicating from outside the cell to the inside, similar to the body's sensors for light (eyes), smell (nose) or taste (mouth), the committee said.
G-protein-coupled receptors comprise "a whole family of receptors," it said, noting that "about half of all medications achieve their effect through G-protein-coupled receptors."
Antihistamines, beta blockers and different drugs for psychiatric conditions use receptors.
"The receptors are a bit like the switchboard in a building," explained Sara Snogerup Linse, a committee member. "How it works is very important information for the development of drugs."
"Thanks to the receptors I now can enjoy a cup of coffee," she said, as an assistant poured her a cup. "And thanks to Lefkowitz and Kobilka I know how it works."
Lefkowitz is with Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. He used radioactivity in 1968 to trace cells' receptors, discovering several and gaining an initial understanding of them.
Kobilka, affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine in California, worked as a research assistant with Lefkowitz in the 1980s and was instrumental in tracing a key gene that codes the receptor for adrenalin.
The 57-year-old told dpa that the news had hit him "like a thunderbolt ... I keep trying to convince myself that this is not a dream."
The phone had rung in the middle of the night, he said. "Since then there's been one call after the other. I am answering the house phone, my wife is on the mobile."
But the prize has not gone to his head. "I am not interesting, rather dull," he said. "I can't offer much besides a bit cycling here and there."
Earlier he told Swedish Radio that the Nobel Committee had had to phone him twice, because "I didn't make it to the phone in time."
Lefkowitz told the committee in Stockholm by phone that he was "very, very excited," to receive the prize.
"I was fast asleep and the phone rang. I was wearing earplugs. My wife gave me an elbow. And there it was, a total surprise."
"By then, I was wide awake. Surely, Stockholm did not call to ask me for the weather," Lefkowitz told dpa a few hours after the call.
After the flood of emails from friends, he said it felt as though he was "reliving my whole life."
He hadn't yet found the time to notify his five children and five grandchildren. "Not one of them is in science. I think they saw how hard I was working and came to the conclusion: This is not for us," he laughingly told dpa.
"I was going to get a haircut today, I am afraid I will have to postpone that ... It'll be a pretty crazy day at my office," he told Swedish Radio.
Both plan to travel to Stockholm for the award ceremony on Dec. 10.

What text editor can you recommend me for writing a book? I already decided to use LaTex. The editor should also have a Windows version
What text editor can you recommend me for writing a book? I already decided to use LaTex. The editor should also have a Windows version
must it be the same editor in windows as linux?
gedit is a good simple editor in linux (its the ubuntu default text editor). it has spell checking and syntax highlighting.
Well its a matter of taste. Do you want a semi-wysiwyg interface like lyx or would you prefer something like emacs?
I know both emacs and lyx run on windows. A few years ago (the last time I actually used windows to do any work) I remember setting up lyx on windows was a bit irritating but things may have changed.
I've just started using the latex plugin for eclipse (texlipse) as my latex editor and I think its pretty good. Eclipse being java based will run on many platforms
another option is texmaker which apparently runs on windows and linux
instructions for setting up emacs and latex under windows:
I like SciTE. You can install it from the repositories and you can install a windows version. http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html. Just pick the language you want to use. TeX is available as an option. When you're in Linux, though, gedit is just fine.
It depends on what you are writing. If it is a novel or something that is straightforward text, it simply does not matter much.
If you need to include indexing and a bibliography, then you want something that helps with these tasks. LyX does a pretty good job this way: it can help you find bibliographic references in a Bibtex database, and the index structure is OK.
I write legal texts that require multiple indexes (at least three: regular index, table of cases and table of statutes). The texts have *lots* of cross-referencing. For this, I haven't found anything that offers as much support as Emacs + Auctex + Reftex. There is also a "folding" mode that hides the latex markup if you like. The resulting screen is as readable as LyX.
There is also a good outlining feature with Auctex that gives you a lot of organising power.
I am completely new to LaTeX myself as well, but downloaded LyX last week. It seems pretty good and easy to understand. I haven't tried anything else, but can say LyX is good for a beginner anyway.
IBM ThinkCentre 8142 - Ubuntu 10.04
Acer emachines D620 - Ubuntu 9.04
LyX is good. I am self-publishing a cookbook written by my wife. I used LyX to set it up and typeset it. The book has a lot of line drawings, so the layout was more complicated than simple text, but not complicated enough to use a desktop publishing program.
Using the LyX "boxes", I was able to get quite nice layouts with little stress. It is a very good program.
Also, the exported LaTeX coding was remarkably clean, so if you needed to deal with "real" LaTeX for some reason you could write in LyX and then export.
I've written many scientifical reports with LaTeX, but in win.
I've used MiKTeX + Texnic Center..
What whould be equivalent (better ) in Linux to these two??

Captain Richie McCaw is not immortal

Life has its inevitabilities - death, taxes and hangovers to name a few.
Time waits for no man, not even legends. Spartacus fell, Muhammad Ali's hands lost their punch and Carl Lewis could no longer break 10 seconds.
Each minute Richie McCaw spends on the park in 2014 it becomes more apparent that his induction into this elite company is nigh.
McCaw's perfect swan song played out at Eden Park in October 2011 as he finally and rightfully held the William Webb Ellis Trophy aloft, cementing himself as the All Blacks' greatest captain.
A broken foot, the World Cup demons put to rest, an exhausted body, 100 test caps, McCaw had done it all and deserved to bow out on his own terms with his reputation intact.
He didn't.
After just 120 minutes of Super Rugby this year McCaw has only made one trademark pilfer. His presence at ruck time is a shadow of his former self. He is noticeably behind the speed of the game, he's injury-prone, and perhaps most alarmingly seems unwilling to fully commit in collision.
He has lead the resurgence of the All Blacks to its world-beating prowess. He is a New Zealand hero, consummate professional and a god of the game.
He has sweated, bled and all but died for the black jersey, but McCaw's desire to sacrifice himself physically and mentally may prove his greatest failing.
Kieran Read's performances in both the red and the black jerseys over the past two years have seen him become the greatest player on the planet today.
With Read's uncompromising passion, tenacity and talent he is the perfect player and person to be McCaw's successor.
If the All Blacks are to be the first team to successfully defend the World Cup, Read must lead.
A broken thumb may prove a merciful end for our mighty conqueror.
The weary, ageing McCaw's days at the helm of the All Black empire are numbered.
Michael Jordan's body had checked out when he tried to prolong his career.
Sachin Tendulkar batted well past his prime to diminish his test stats.
Brett Farve refuses to hang up the cleats and Roger Federer is the same with the racquet.
Here's hoping McCaw wont sully his legacy by playing past his use by date.
A similar scenario exists above the footy field in the commentary box.
Grant Nisbetts' career will forever be etched in New Zealand rugby folklore.
His infamous line "Pops it Lomu, can he make it? You bet ya, you bet ya, Lomu's in", will echo in our heads for eternity.
Now the time has come for a new commentary king to usurp the leather throne and that man is Tony Johnson.
Nisbett appears disinterested and unenthusiastic while calling his matches so far this year, affecting the spectacle of the game.
Conversely, the underrated Johnson brings a level of excitement that transforms a good match to a great one.
Nisbo must hang up the head set and hand the microphone to Johnson before his best days are also behind him.

SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/28/14 -- Opportunistic individuals do not need a great deal of personal information about a victim in order to assume that person's identity to commit a crime. Documents retrieved from the trash display names, addresses and other information. When paying for goods and services with a credit card, service providers may quickly copy the number or swipe the card for erroneous charges. Creditnet, a leading credit card comparison site, suggests using a number of safeguards that reduce the likelihood of becoming an identity theft statistic.
1) Stay Aware of Surroundings
Before entering PIN numbers or other personal information to complete a transaction, take note of someone in close proximity who may watch your actions from behind in attempts at gathering vital personal information.
2) Use Photo ID Only
Avoid signing the backs of credit cards. In the majority of instances, service providers never look at the signature block. Suggest that clerks verify your identity by checking the photograph against your appearance. If a card is stolen, thieves generally only make purchases over the phone or online, which does not require a signature.
Dumpster-diving or trash-picking are common methods used to find general mail, receipts or statements that contain a name, address or other information. Consider investing in an inexpensive personal shredder that adequately destroy papers and makes acquiring identity information more difficult. Many communities regularly schedule shredding events that assist residents in safeguarding information by properly destroying and disposing papers.
4) Eliminate Digital Data
Before selling, trading or disposing of CDs, DVDs, portable memory devices, computers or even smartphones, consider the personal information that each may harbor. Merely deleting internal data, reformatting or performing a factory restore does not erase the information contained within. Break, shatter or shred CDs and DVDs. Physically destroy memory devices, SMS cards and hard drives.
First, make sure that you receive statements on a regular basis. In the event that a statement does not arrive, check with the bank or service provider. If an error has not occurred, statements may have been stolen at some point during the mailing process. Checking the entries on statements alerts consumers to erroneous charges or other illegal actions. In the event that an unauthorized transaction occurs contact the appropriate service provider.
6) Hazards of Online Transactions
Buying, selling or performing other business transactions online increases the likelihood of someone having access to personal data. Unscrupulous individuals often use keylogging software or other types of hacking techniques to monitor digital devices and steal data. Restrict online transactions to reputable or well-known businesses and organizations. These venues protect clients and consumers by implementing encryption software or other safety measures.
7) Pay Bills Cautiously
If paying bills by mail, physically go to a mailbox or the post office and deposit the statement. Leaving the statement and check in a personal mailbox for the carrier to retrieve provides a chance for thieves to strike and obtain a wealth of information from the statement and the enclosed check.
8) Limit Displayed Information
Out of convenience, some prefer having driver license, phone numbers or social security numbers displayed on checks. However, this information provides another piece of the puzzle toward having enough data for hacking into accounts. Some law enforcement professionals also advise against using the first initial combined with a last name in place of displaying a full name.
9) Evaluate Credit Reports
Equifax, Experian and TransUnion provide consumers with one free credit report every year. Individuals easily apply for this revealing data through these agencies by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com. Review each report and make sure that all of the information and transactions displayed are accurate. If you find an error, contact the agency and follow the necessary steps to resolve the problem.
10) Safeguard Social Security Numbers
Regardless of your opinion on the viability of social security as a source of income during retirement, having access to this number provides another portal and opportunity for others to assume your identity. Protect this number from prying eyes. Avoid using the number in a password. Never provide the number over the phone or during questionable seeking ventures.
About Creditnet:
Creditnet is an authority credit card comparison site that offers innovative comparison tools to help users find the best credit card for their needs. In addition, the Creditnet Credit Talk Forum is a community of over 100,000 members that discuss credit cards, credit, debt, and credit repair daily.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats.

1. I'm not just a nurse. I'm serving those who have unselfishly served our country. Arlette, VA RNBecome a VA nurse.
Why VA?The best care starts withthe best opportunities.More than a century ago, President Lincoln made a promise to America'sservicemen and women, pledging the care and concern of a grateful Nationfor the sacrifices they made to preserve freedom. Since 1930, the mission ofthe Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA) has been to keep that promise.Today, VA has more than 1,400 medical centers and outpatient clinicsacross all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories, and is thelargest, most technologically advanced health care system in the U.S. Ouremployees work at 153 medical centers, 909 ambulatory and community-based outpatient clinics, 135 nursing homes, and many other facilities, suchas domiciliaries and readjustment counseling centers.

VA supports nurses pursuing advanced degrees in this specialty by offering scholarship opportunities. VA nurses can also further their careers as nurse executives, nurse educators, or in other leadership roles through a variety of nursing leadership programs, including the Nurse Manager Core Curriculum, Nurse Executive Rotation, and the Nurse Executive Leadership Program. NURSES AS INNOVATORS VA nurses are encouraged to pursue their ideas for improving patient care and patient safety. A VA nurse suggested VA's most rapidly adopted technology, the Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) system.

Monteverdi Choir/ English Baroque Soloists/ Gardiner, Christ Church Spitalfields
Thursday 18 December 2008
Over at Christ Church Spitalfields, as part of the annual Winter Festival, John Eliot Gardiner has been serialising Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
Actually Bach did so long before him, separating the cantatas within the larger work and performing them over several days. But Gardiner has added a motet and a Brandenburg Concerto to his twice-nightly Christmas fare, leaving appreciative congregations in no doubt as to the abiding joy and astonishing diversity of J.S. Bach's music.
His Monteverdi Choir are true specialists and with the Motet "Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden" ("Praise ye the Lord, all ye nations") they offered an object lesson in articulation with expressive purpose. The lightness and uplift of the counterpoint was so refreshing. Just the way these voices can ride rhythms, deflecting the weight of attack and subtly nuancing the dynamics, is a pleasure for anyone with an ounce of musicality to behold. Celestial cloud-hopping might be one way of describing the jubilant outer sections of this particular motet but with the words "For all that his grace and his truth have power over us for evermore" Bach's music and Gardiner's choir paused for reflection, the sound swelling through one glorious harmonic suspension to a moment or two of real spiritual contentment.
A pity, then, that we had to pause so long for a BBC platform rearrangement before the crisp, clean, dulcet tones of two recorders (Rachel Beckett and Catherine Latham) played musical tag with their string counterparts in the Fourth of Bach's Brandenburgs. Fugues can be fun, or so said this performance shrugging off the lachrymose sighs of the slow movement to revel in the toe-tapping and ever resourceful interplay of the finale. Kati Debretzeni's earthy first fiddle got stuck into the earnest passage work and bristling trills leaving inhibition at the vestry door.
But then there were shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night, and a chorus of oboes lending their rustic timbre to a gently bucolic pastorale. At the heart of the Second Cantata of Bach's Christmas Oratorio is the Nativity, and at the heart of the Nativity is the Angel's heaven-sent lullaby over the manger. Clare Wilkinson sang this with humbling simplicity accentuating the miraculous sustaining notes that fall like benedictions over the Virgin's boy child. Bach nurtures this tender aria two-fold to maximise the impact of the ensuing song of praise where Gardiner's "heavenly host" encircled the English Baroque Soloists to belie their small numbers in resounding counterpoint.

KOROLEV, Moscow region, November 19 (Itar-Tass) — The head of Russia's federal space agency Roscosmos, Vladimir Popovkin, said on Monday a decision to fire the director-general of the joint-stock company Russian Space Systems (RKS), Yuri Urlichich, will be taken this week.
"We've submitted necessary materials to the Ministry of Economic Development concerning dismissal of Mr. Urlichich. I believe that all decisions will be taken this week," he told a news conference on Monday after the successful landing of a Soyuz spaceship.
"We are still not ready to say who will take the position of director-general, therefore one of the deputies will temporarily perform these functions. Now we are considering a candidate for this position," Popovkin said.
"It became known about financial embezzlement last year. We've taken a number of preventive measures and set up a commission that worked in Russian Space Systems. We found out that 565 million roubles were misappropriated, all materials were sent to the Interior Ministry for additional investigation and institution of a criminal case, if necessary," he said.
"Further there were pre-investigation and investigation checks," he said.
On November 11 Urlichich was dismissed from his position as designer-in-chief of the GLONASS system.
Earlier the head of the Moscow Metro's police department, Igor Bozhkov, who until July worked in the Interior Ministry's criminal investigation department, told reporters that police found out that around 6.5 billion roubles were embezzled in the process of implementation of the GLONASS project.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Dutch rescue workers have resumed their search for seven crew missing after their cargo ship sank in the North Sea, but said there was little hope of finding survivors.
"There are still seven missing, we're now searching with planes and helicopters," coastguard spokesman Peter Westenberg told AFP news agency after the search resumed early on Thursday.
"We're currently only searching for bodies because the chance that anyone has survived is very small," he said.
Rescuers, including the Dutch navy, on Wednesday plucked 13 survivors from the water after the Baltic Ace car carrier collided with the Corvus J container ship about 100km southwest of Rotterdam.
They also pulled four bodies from the water before suspending the search overnight.
The Baltic Ace sank shortly afterwards, the coastguard said. The Corvus J was also damaged, but assisted in the search for missing crew.
Dutch coastguard spokesman Marcel Oldenburger told AFP that the crew was made up of Poles, Filipinos, Bulgarians and Ukrainians.
Polish media reported that 11 of the crew were Polish, but it was not known how many of them had survived.
"The police are trying to identify the bodies that have been found," Oldenburger said. He could not say if the bodies had been pulled from the water wearing life vests.
Four of the survivors were flown to a hospital in Rotterdam, seven taken by rescue helicopter to a hospital in Belgium and two were treated on board a rescue ship.
The coastguard said all survivors were suffering from hypothermia.
The Baltic Ace was heading from Zeebrugge in Belgium to Kotka in Finland and the Cypriot-registered Corvus J from Grangemouth in Scotland to Antwerp in Belgium.
The shipping lane where the accident happened is one of the busiest in the North Sea and an important passing point for ships sailing into Rotterdam port, Europe's largest and the fifth-largest in the world.
Rotterdam port spokesman Sjaak Poppe told AFP the collision would not affect shipping in and out of the port.
Source: Agencies
Despite the collision, both Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits remain open to shipping traffic, Turkish officials say.

BW: Steve Ballmer Should Focus -- Like the Other Steve
BW: Steve Ballmer Should Focus -- Like the Other Steve
by , 1:05 PM EST, February 8th, 2008
Big mergers in the high-tech industry have been colossal failures, and the same can be expected of Microsoft and Yahoo. Steve Ballmer, who appears to be anxious to make his mark on his company should stop trying to be all things to all people, according to Arik Heseldahl at BusinessWeek on Friday. Instead, Microsoft should focus, like the other Steve. The one who's killing Microsoft in the smartphone business.
In an open letter to Steve Ballmer at Microsoft, Mr. Hesseldahl was particularly crisp and direct in his criticism of Microsoft's proposal to buy Yahoo.
"After all, who knows what will happen to the Internet while you're busy splicing these companies together," Mr. Hesseldahl wrote. "Name one truly important Internet innovation that has come internally from either Microsoft or Yahoo. I can't either. All the best new stuff at Yahoo has come by way of acquisitions: Flickr, Oddpost, Zimbra, and Overture."
Mr. Hesseldahl pointed out that, in addition to the expected difficulties in the acquisition and Microsoft's sprawling growth, other things have been left unattended, like Vista and a Web-based office suite. Instead, Microsoft has dabbled as a consumer electronics company, a digital media company, and with Yahoo in its sights, an online advertising company. "Before long you'll probably want to sell me telephone and TV service, too," Mr. Hesseldahl wrote with only a little hyperbole.
The round house punch, however, came when the noted BW author compared Steve Ballmer's lack of focus to the laser-like focus of the other Steve down south. "You know, the turtle-necked guy in California who keeps annoying you by selling iPods and computers that typically don't run on Windows. You could learn a lot from him. Focus saved his company from oblivion. Apple does what it's good at, and it expands into new areas carefully," Mr. Hesseldahl explained.
This is the very best explanation of what ails Microsoft in 2008 published to date. After reading it, one has to wonder why Microsoft, as Mr. Hesseldahl pointed out, with a server, OS, and Office business that generates a $43B revenue with a 62 percent operating profit, seems so bent on self destruction.
