|Operating system
|abstraction layer for the files system
GVFS is the virtual filesystem for the GNOME desktop, which allows users easy access to remote data via SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, SMB, and local data via Udev integration, OBEX, MTP and others.[1]
Attached resources are exposed via a URI syntax, for example smb://server01/gamedata or ftp://username:firstname.lastname@example.com/public_html, but are also mounted in the traditional manner under
~/.gvfs/ or
/run/user/$USERNAME/gvfs or
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs directory[2][3] to make them available to applications using standard POSIX commands and I/O.
Technical details[edit]
GVFS may use FUSE,[4] and replaces the earlier GnomeVFS.[5] It consists of two parts:[6]
- a shared library which is loaded by applications supporting GIO
- GVFS itself, which contains a collection of daemons which communicate with each other and the GIO module over D-Bus.
A collection of command-line utilities (such as gvfs-mount, gvfs-less) works with VFS resources.[7]
GVFS uses libgphoto2 to expose on-camera photos to GNOME applications via a virtual filesystem.

About the Project
The Main Interior Building (MIB), located at 1849 C Street NW, has been undergoing a major renovation since November 2002. The primary purpose of the MIB renovation is to improve the quality of life and ensure optimum habitability for all Department of the Interior (DOI) occupants. The building, which encompasses more than 1.3 million square feet, is receiving a major overhaul and will be completely modernized in areas including environmental health and safety; life safety; accessibility; technology; security; and environmental responsibility. Extensive work is being performed to restore and preserve the historic integrity of the building as new systems are put in place. When complete, this 1930s-era building will boast state-of-the-art health and safety features. The modernization project is being managed by DOI in tandem with the General Services Administration.
The Original Project Management Plan (PMP) for the Modernization of the Main Interior Building dates back to 1992. Even in those very early days, the renovation was always planned to occur in phases so that the Main Interior Building could remain occupied and functional. In 1995 the move management plans considered 12 separate construction phases. By 1996 the construction document were 100% complete. In FY 2000 Congress authorized funding for GSA to begin construction. Grunley Construction Company was awarded the contract for the first of six phases, however, just after the sixth wing was vacated, the events of September 11, 2001 prompted a need for the DOI's swing space and the project was delayed by approximately one year while the National Park Service moved back into the building and the search for a new swing space started all over. New swing space was acquired at 1201 I Street and finally in November of 2002, ten years after the development of the first PMP, work was able to begin in the sixth wing.

Natalia has been acting since the age of six, and made her acting debut at age 9 in 1995 in New Voices. During her early years, she worked hard on Guildhall and LAMDA examinations. By the age of 13 becoming the youngest to achieve a LAMDA Gold Medal for acting. She also studied Verse, Prose, Mime and Shakespeare. She had a regular role as Sima on the second series of the BBC1 sit-com All About Me (2002) and also played Amy Franks in the BBC's long-running radio drama The Archers. She has also guest-starred in Casualty (1986) and, more recently, appeared in Coronation Street (1960). She then got signed to the UK record company Adventures in Music and released her first single "Don't Play Nice" under the name Verbalicious in February 2005. In January 2008, Will i Am signed Cappuccini to Interscope Records via his will.i.am Music Group imprint. She was noticed for her demo EP Wommanequin, which she produced and wrote herself. Once signed to Interscope, she was placed with Cherrytree Records. Cherrytree encouraged her to find a name that was more direct and descriptive, and she then came up with the name Natalia Kills. (During this time she also wrote songs for French recording artist M. Pokora and met underground director Guillaume Doubet, who as of 2011 now directs all her visual efforts in Paris.) Kills released her debut album Perfectionist in April 2011 in Germany. She has also wrote, produced and co-directed a web mini-series titled Love, Kills xx (2010) and an additional film under the working title The Exhibition, which was made concurrently with the album, the soundtrack to the film. The album's first single, "Mirrors", was released in the United States in August 2010 and in the UK in April 2011. Her second single, "Wonderland", was released on in April 2011 in Germany. The song was featured in the 2011 film Beastly (2011). Kills opened for Kelis' European All Hearts Tour, as well as supported Robyn Carlsson on her Body Talk Tour in November 2010 and early 2011. Kills supported Ke$ha on the UK leg of her Get Sleazy Tour alongside LMFAO.
Devin Lucien is a native, born and raised product of the city of Los Angeles. His signature sound is what has made him one of the most requested and admired DJ's within the city and around the globe. Devin grew up during the MTV era when artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna ruled the charts. He was also immersed in his parents music collection growing up, that spread from funk and soul to classic rock and oldies. His eclectic musical knowledge and forward taste in today's developing music world have allowed him to easily transition from the biggest nightclubs in the world to the most high profile events. Devin has been fortunate enough to play for a long list of high profile corporate clients that include the likes of Range Rover, OK Magazine, Bing, Playboy, DreamWorks, L'Oreal, Hulu and MOCA. Over the last year Devin has been called upon by Microsoft to spin the openings of their 75 retail stores across the globe. He has had the privilege to open up for the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Kelly Clarkson, The Black Keys, Maroon 5, Flo Rida and Weezer to name a few during the Microsoft concert series that have been apart of all their grand opening celebrations. He has also been featured in numerous publications including Vanity Fair, Angeleno Magazine, US Weekly, OK Magazine and InTouch. Devin was also hired as the music consultant for the Warner Brothers feature film Project X. He helped hand select the music featured in the film as well as the soundtrack. The soundtrack hit #1 on iTunes in its first week after being released.
It probably all began for Adam Auburn in 2004, after winning the first ever Traxsource DJ Competition, sparking a whirlwind of international attention for the young, East Coast native. In 2008, the house music advocate moved to Los Angeles, where Auburn was blessed to be discovered by Insomniac, placed on display at their weekly house music event, Inception at Exchange, and ultimately the main stage at Nocturnal Wonderland, Escape from Wonderland, and EDC Week Las Vegas. Adam's unique versatility as a DJ has allowed him to share the stage with a range of Artists as wide as his love for house – including everyone from Maceo Plex, Maya Jane Coles, and Martinez Brothers, to John Digweed, Sander Kleineberg, and Danny Howells, to Kaskade, Bingo Players, and Krewella, to Diplo, Passion Pit, and Chromeo, to Derrick Carter, Louie Vega, Kerri Chandler, and so many more in 13 years of DJing. Auburn's deep love of house music can not only be found in the boundless energy that emanates through his infectious DJ Performances, but also through the award winning events his production company, Auburn Events, has put on for over 10 years (Afternoon Delight, Soul & Tonic, Departure: "Top 10 LA Club Nights" – LA Weekly | "5 Best Miami Daytime Events" - Mixmag). Firmly planted in the riches of house music history, but neatly poised to move forward into the future, Adam has humbly dedicated his life to the music he loves.

Strategy was not easy to develop. The United States was wealthy in resources but most were in the private sector. If government used too many, that would cause problems in the private sector. This was one of the problems the space age presented to the U.S. government. What is a proper space strategy for America? There were two big questions posed by space. First, how to constrain the arms race that was to take place and second, what to do about areas that are outside of territories like air, Antarctica, and outer space. It seemed to many that there would have to be international treaties to work out these issues.
There were a lot of articles and debate about space law and who owned what in outer space. After Sputnik there was hope that the U.S. could counter...

met both Made Subaga and his staff, get more understanding on the Balinese people. Our family enjoyed very much the 4days stay in Cilinaya. Staff are well trained and with cheerful character.
Suggest you to walk once from the Villa to Ubud market. It takes about 25 minutes. On the way, you will see a lot of art work wholesale shop with very good price point. You will have no trouble to get souvenirs from there.
Highly recommend!

Thank you, General Chilton, and thank you all for being here. Today I have two very welcome – and very overdue – tasks: promoting General Keith Alexander to his fourth star and activating the new organization he is about to command.
I'm glad that Keith's wife Debbie and their extended family – who have turned out in force –could join us. Thank you for the sacrifices you have all made in order to support Keith over the course of an impressive career spanning more than three decades.
In the military as elsewhere, the reward for a job well done is generally more work. That is certainly true of General Alexander and the additional task he is being given today. Setting up a new command is always a challenging undertaking, even more so for a domain such as cyberspace, where roles, missions, and org charts are still being defined. The precedent set by the first commander will forever shape the organization. I am grateful to have as capable and versatile an officer as Keith to assume this role.
My confidence in General Alexander comes from his long record of success in many aspects of military intelligence. This includes posts as:
He also possesses an impressive intellectual pedigree, having earned advanced degrees in business administration, systems technology and electronic warfare, physics, and national security strategy.
Since 2005, General Alexander has ably led the National Security Agency, transforming the organization from its Cold War posture so that it is capable of meeting diverse, unconventional, and ever-changing threats. NSA has taken on this institutional shift while admirably executing the day-to-day responsibilities it must shoulder in a time of war.
General Alexander has the experience, the expertise, and the agility to lead CYBERCOM to success. And success in the coming years is critical. Our nation as a whole has become ever more dependent on computer systems and networks – and so has our military. The intelligence, logistics, weapons technologies, and other capabilities we have gained are enormous, and critical to maintaining U.S. military supremacy.
However, there is no avoiding the fact that our expanded networks, with their wealth of sensitive information, present numerous tempting targets to our enemies, strategic rivals, and criminal organizations. Those who could never hope to challenge the United States by conventional means can, at a relatively low cost, seek vulnerabilities in the vast amount of cyber territory we must defend.
By establishing CYBERCOM, we put a single military commander in charge of monitoring and defending this virtual theater, just as other commanders bear responsibility for geographic theaters. The purpose and jurisdiction of this command is clear: to defend the military's operational networks against attacks. Overcoming the wider cyber threat to America's economy and society will require a whole-of-government approach, with CYBERCOM in a supporting role. As such, General Alexander will coordinate this command's efforts the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the NSA, and other stakeholders.
Finally, let me close by taking a moment to thank all those at NSA and elsewhere in the intelligence community for what they do every day to protect our country. As a former Director of Central Intelligence, I fully understand and appreciate the challenges you face and the battles you fight in the shadows to keep our nation safe.
General Alexander, congratulations on your promotion, and good luck. Thank you.

Below is the poem entitled A Change which was written by poet
Shanazar. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Muhammad Shanazar
Was this the face upon which,
Beautified innocence danced and danced?
How looks gazed, riveted untiringly!
The black lashes cast glimmering shadows,
In the dark deep blue glassy eyes;
As the reedy tufts along the banks,
Do while throwing wavering reflections,
In the unpolluted azure deep lake.
How frantic heart urged to explore,
Plunge into the depths, to be lost,
Never to be found, to endure the pangs.
The black curly locks eclipsed,
Enchanting more the broad fair forehead.
The words slipped from the tender lips,
As do the dews from the blooming roses,
When the breeze shakes them gently,
Like beads they dropp one by one.
And as the dancing waves do travel,
Spread smiles onto the smooth cheeks.
Ah! What a horrible change brought,
Imperceptible feet of the passing decades,
Trod trampling the stage of beauty.
The deep creasy wrinkles seem to us,
As a dull furrowed farm of Autumn.
The cloudy eyes with spots of cataracts,
Pouring out fluid full of disgust,
Teethless gums behind the withering lips,
Dribbling mouth from both the corners,
Flesh hanging down like loose sleeves,
White worn out hair as brittle juty fiber,
Present catastrophe, inevitable, bare,
Which is forsaken in the days of vigour.

Cheltenham Town video: 'Cold showers, no heating all part of learning curve' - Michael Hector
Posted: February 22, 2013|
MICHAEL Hector says there will be no culture shock as Cheltenham Town visit Accrington Stanley.
The Reading loan defender experienced the less than luxurious surroundings of the Crown Ground during his time with Barnet last term.
His team won 3-0 that day, with Sam Deering among the Bees' scorers.
Hector may be contracted to a club in the top flight, but he has built up plenty of experience at lower-level football, with spells at a host of non-League and League clubs.
The 20-year-old has turned out for Didcot Town, Bracknell and Havant and Waterlooville and he sees the cold showers and poky changing rooms at Accrington as all part of his learning curve.
"I remember we played at Accrington in December last season and half the pitch was frozen, so it shouldn't really have been played," Hector said.
"It's not a nice place and it was like going back to my non-League days.
"They definitely use it to their advantage because the showers were cold and the heating wasn't on, but it's good to experience these things."
Another new experience for Hector was the booing he was subjected to from some of Aldershot Town fans in last week's 1-1 draw at Whaddon Road.
Hector turned down a chance to extend his loan spell with struggling Aldershot to join promotion-chasing Cheltenham.
"It was a funny playing against them and strange being booed, but that's football and you have to get on with it," Hector said.
"You don't get that in reserve games and in League Two matches there is atmosphere, tension and pressure to win games, so it's good to be here on loan and play in these games."
Hector wants to stay at Cheltenham for the rest of the season and all being well his loan spell will be extended next week. Boss Mark Yates has encouraged him to try and play the ball out from defence, but he is also aware that with valuable points at stake in Cheltenham's push for promotion, he cannot afford to take too many risks.
"The gaffer wants us to play from the back if we can, but the way the pitches now after the snow means it's hard to pass it," Hector said.
"He wants us to get it forward because if we make a mistake it's going to cost us like it did at Dagenham, so he doesn't want us to take risks.
"It's going to be a battle at times now, with a lot of the pitches not really made for playing football, but we have battlers and ball players so we can cope with different types of games."

CD57 (HNK-1) is a oligosaccharide antigen that is expressed by cells of several lineages. It is present on multipotential neuroepithelial cells during embryogenesis, and tumours of epithelial, neuroectodermal and nerve sheath origin also express CD57. Its role in the diagnosis of thyroid tumours is controversial. We have studied CD57 expression by immunohistochemistry to determine its utility in the classification of thyroid follicular lesions. Study material included 114 normal thyroid sections, 77 benign thyroid lesions (29 colloid nodules, 22 follicular adenomas, 20 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and 6 of Grave's disease) and 83 thyroid carcinomas, including 31 follicular variants of papillary carcinoma. We observed CD57 positivity in 95% of thyroid carcinomas, 27% of follicular adenomas and 10% of colloid nodules. It was not expressed in the normal thyroid. CD57 expression in thyroid carcinomas was significantly different from that in normal and benign thyroid lesions (P < 0.0001). The follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma also showed significantly higher CD57 expression than colloid nodules (P < 0.0009) or follicular adenomas (P < 0.0009). No significant difference was seen between colloid nodules and follicular adenomas. We conclude that CD57 immunohistochemistry is valuable in the classification of thyroid follicular lesions into benign and malignant groups and is also helpful in the diagnosis of the follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

I would love some advise for the finishing touches in my family room/dining room. I painted the walls cream, and I have a grey and white theme right now. I would really love to incorporate some colours in the the room by a new rug, pillows and accessories. I bought the black/grey couch and cream/black chair, I will also be buying a new chair in the future and a new coffee table. I would love to hear your ideas on how I can finish it off! The dining room was originally on the other side, but I wanted to incorporate a informal eating area for myself and my 7 year old son.

Sanford Rotary clubs send meals around the world
In systematic fashion, Lee County residents scooped and stuffed bags of food during the Stop Hunger Now event at the Sanford Lions Club Fairgrounds Saturday, creating 26,000 meals to be distributed around the world.
This is the sixth year the three Sanford Rotary Clubs — San-Lee Sunrise Rotary Club, Jonesboro Rotary Club, Sanford Rotary Club — have sponsored the event, said Dr. Mitch Reese, chairman of the Stop Hunger Now program for Rotary Club of Sanford.
"Our goal is to send these meals overseas and, in particular, to schools," Reese said. "Our goal is for the kids to go to school, be fed and maybe take meals home to their families. We're feeding the mind and the body."
With every 1,000 meals prepared, one volunteer rushed to a golden gong to inform his or her fellow volunteers on their progress, halting the program for just a moment before it kickstarted back into gear.
Stop Hunger Now System Program Manager Ryan Howe said Saturday's volunteers did an excellent job keeping pace and staying energized throughout the process. Nearly 100 local residents turned out to help during two-hour shifts.
"It's a great way to get involved in your community and neighbors to do good and help others dealing with crisis," he said.
Abbey Beahm and her 16-year-old daughter, Hannah, both said they had a fun time packaging the food.
"I've done it once before with my church," Hannah Beahm said. "It's been good and I'd encourage others to participate."
This was the fifth year of participation for San-Lee Sunrise Rotarian Terry Mullen, who called the day delightful.
"It's doing something good," he said. "And it's fun."
His wife, Deb, said it was her first time and that was glad she could contribute to a worthy cause.
With this year's total number of meals prepared, Reese said the local Rotary Clubs had provided more than 150,000 meals in the six years.
"You are helping lots of families and it's a good way to be active," he said. "There are good feelings when you help those less fortunate. It's saving lives."

- people in the U.S. have this name View Tracy Gibbar on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname, in origin a Norman baronial name from places in France called Tracy, from the Gallo-Roman personal name Thracius + the local suffix -acum. In former times, Tracy was occasionally used as a boy's name, as were the surnames of other English noble families. Later, it was also used as a girl's name, generally being taken as a pet form of Theresa. It became a very popular girl's name in the 1960s and 70s, but has gradually declined since. It continues to be used as a boy's name in the United States but is rarely, if ever, so used in Britain.

I second that. Still, after reading this thread, I get a little nervous. I often have a glass of wine in the darkroom and, of course, I try to be careful, but maybe in the future I will put the glass on a little table in the corner, on the other side from my negs. I don't want to spill it and have to go through this kind of torture, even if wine is less nasty than sugary pop. I will also keep it well away from any chemistry. I don't want to tone in French red (which might have an interesting effect) while drinking selenium (which won't have a desirable effect).

ELIZABETHTON — A man who previously had been arrested on a methamphetamine charge was back in jail after allegedly making threats toward a Carter County deputy.
Dustin Caleb Potter, 29, 203 Old Charity Hill Road, was arrested early Thursday morning by Deputy Matthew Ainsworth of the Carter County Sheriff's Department on a charge of retaliation for past action. He is scheduled to answer the charge in Sessions Court on April 23.
Ainsworth said the arrest came following a tip from a regional television station that had alerted the Bristol, Va., Police Department about comments that had been posted on Potter's personal Facebook page on the Internet.
The alleged comments from Potter were: "Hell yea bro gitem. They are getting ridiculous around here they think if u got a mason jar that your straight mass producing hell bro u know what happened I ain't done nothing since and I'm still getting followed around and if I catch that pig that was going thru my baby mamas trash like a ful stick I got that ak47 n I will touchem up. Holla at ya. Boy Cody and stay low key not 3d."
Ainsworth said the threat stems from an arrest Feb. 13, when the deputy arrested Potter on a charge of promotion of the manufacture of methamphetamine. Ainsworth said one of the items found on Potter's possession was a Mason jar that had been modified in a way that would be consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine.
Ainsworth said the comments about "going thru my baby mamas trash" was from an incident Feb. 4 when Sgt. Derrick Hamm, Deputy James Stevens and Ainsworth responded to a smoke-investigation call. Ainsworth found that smoke was coming from a trash fire next to a mobile home on Betty Street in Hampton,
He said the deputies dug through the trash to make sure the fire was out and the Hampton-Valley Forge Volunteer Fire Department did not need to respond.
Ainsworth said the mobile home was once Potter's residence. He said Potter had a child with the woman who still resides at the trailer.
The Carter County Sheriff's Department became aware of the threats after Major Sean P. Carrigan of the Bristol, Va., Police Deparment took the tip from the television station and emailed the information to Lt. Penny Cornett of the Carter County Sheriff's Department on March 12. Cornett passed the information to Hamm.
Potter was found at the Zoomerz gas station on Broad Street at 3 a.m. Tuesday and was taken into custody on the charge.

Someone asked about cracking - here's the secret for all biscotti. When you take them out of the oven the first time, cover with a damp towel while they cool. They'll slice perfeclty without crumbling.
This biscotti was just ok. I didn't find the flavor was all that great, and the texture wasn't the greatest either. But they weren't a complete flop - I've just made better ones before so this was a disappointment.

This was very easy to make. I used fresh orange juice in place of the liqueur and they were wonderful. I would cut back on the almonds a bit for my own personal taste next time.
I make this recipe all the time, it is so easy and tastes so good. I leave out the almonds though and use 2 teaspoons orange oil instead of the zest and liqueor. Then because of the oil I cook 10 minutes longer. And of course, because I love chocolate I dip these halfway in melted chocolate and cool on set on wax paper.
These are crispy and delicious. We love the orange flavor, so if I have orange oil available, I'll use 2-3t of the oil in place of the orange.In place of chopped toasted almonds, try toasted sliced almonds.I think it gives more of a nutty flavor than the small bits.
These are very good. I used orange juice in place of the liqueur and added a tsp of orange extract. I doubled the recipe. I reserved some of the almonds to sprinkle on the top of the loaves before baking. Next time I will cut back on the cinnamon to about half - personal preference. I formed the dough on the cookie sheet which was covered by foil - much easier to handle.
I made these and they were so good! I love these!! I made the recipe exactly and once they cooled I dipped them in white chocolate.. I will be making these again, Thanks!!
My mom cannot eat sugar so I made some major changes to the original recipe, plus I thought I'd add somethings of my own to it. Here's what I changed: 3/4 cups white sugar became: 3/4 cups splenda 1 orange zested became: 1 orange zested and juiced 2 tbs orange liquor became: 2 tbs dark rum I mixed everything the same, creamed the butter with the splenda and mixed the orange juice, zest, and rum in with the splenda, butter, and cinnamon. Otherwise I followed the directions exactly. I am quite pleased with the result, and my parents liked it a lot too. I thought this was a great recipe and I enjoyed playing around making it, thanks for sharing :)

Indonesia is set to have more eyes in its skies with the launch of the Lapan A2 satellite to monitor traffic across its vast maritime expanses.
The satellite, weighing 78 kilograms, was designed, assembled and tested in-house by the Institute for Aeronautics and Space (Lapan) and will be the nation's first satellite running in an equatorial orbit that is equipped with an automated remote-sensing system.
Suhermanto, chief of Lapan's Satellite Technology Center, said the satellite would be launched in mid-2013, piggybacking on India's PSLV-C23 rocket from its base in Sriharikota, India.
"The Lapan A2 satellite will run in an equatorial orbit so it will pass over Indonesia up to 15 times a day," Suhermanto said on Friday at a press conference at the center's facilities in Rancabungur, Bogor.
The frequency at which the Lapan A2 will pass over Indonesian territory is a significant increase from the Lapan Tubsat. That satellite was launched in 2007 and runs on a polar orbit, meaning it can only pass over Indonesia two to three times a day, a rate far from sufficient to monitor the nation's seas, which are prone to illegal fishing and poaching, and the transit of vessels used for transnational crimes.
Lapan had previously expected that the satellite would be launched in 2011, but Suhermanto said the plan had to be put on hold pending completion of India's Astrosat satellite, which will be the rocket launcher's main cargo.
"We have completed developing the Lapan A2 and in the meantime, it will undergo regular maintenance before we send it to India for its launch in the second quarter of 2013," Suhermanto said.
However, he couldn't specify the launch date, saying it would depend on many other factors such as the weather.
The satellite's remote sensing device, the Automatic Identification System, will be able to tag a maximum of 2,000 ships in a single coverage area and it will be able to identify the ships' positions, speeds, destinations and specifications in Indonesian waters.
The satellite will orbit at a height of 650 kilometers, from which it will be able to detect transmissions from ships located within a more than 100-kilometer radius.
"This identification system is used mainly by commercial vessels and it would be complementary to our existing maritime surveillance system," said Heru Triharjanto, a scientist at Lapan's satellite center.
Heru added that with data gathered from the monitoring system, the Ministry of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, as the agency authorized to issue licenses for fishing vessels, would be able to quickly distinguish those vessels with valid permits from those operating illegally.
"Our main concern is that we would be able to safeguard the country's interests with the data yielded," Suhermanto said.
Apart from its monitoring ability, the satellite will be useful for disaster mitigation and communications.
"We can use this satellite for amateur radio communications through which we would be able to send text messages as well since it will be equipped with a repeater device for text messaging," Heru said.
"Journalists would be able to send their stories from disaster areas through this satellite," he added.
The project to develop the satellite was a follow-up to Lapan's successful launch of the Tubsat satellite, which was made and designed in Germany.
"We set a goal to develop our own satellite and we came up with programs with specific targets to master this satellite technology," Suhermanto said.
The Lapan A2 satellite project was approved in 2008 and the institute began assembling it in 2010.
"We had to import most of the components because we don't yet have a sufficient upstream industry for electronics parts to support the program," Heru said.
Heru said the satellite underwent several tests before being declared spaceworthy by Lapan and the project's supervisor from a German institution.
Lapan has set a timeline to further develop Indonesia's satellite technology capabilities.
"We aim to go operational with our own satellite technology beyond 2015," Suhermanto said.

As the Mayor's Economic Development Taskforce continues seeking out new business ideas and strategies to improve Turlock's economic recovery, the 25 member board will meet on Tuesday afternoon, bringing forth diverse areas of expertise to help create an economic plan for the city.
Turlock Unified School District Trustee Dr. Harinder Grewal is adding his name to this November's ballot, as he seeks to replace incumbent Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto) in the California State Assembly.
As the Oscars generally fall in February or March, many are getting ready for award season. This year, a new "award" has been launched in the form of a political website – The Denham Awards.
With House Democrats filing a discharge petition on Thursday that would force Republicans to take a vote on raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, pressure has increased to address the issue which has left many on different sides of the table.
Turlock has a new way of doing business, making the local economy stronger each day, says Mayor John Lazar.
Although the Turlock City Council voted unanimously to support a countywide transportation tax expenditure plan developed by the Stanislaus Council of Governments, the county's regional transportation planning agency, council members expressed skepticism as they moved forward, questioning whether or not the generated funds would truly benefit Turlock.
California Gov. Jerry Brown stopped in Stanislaus County Monday afternoon to talk with local officials on the impacts of the prison realignment program at the county level.
Homeowners who received home loan modifications in 2013 could be provided with tax relief should Senator Anthony Cannella's (R-Ceres) new bill, SB 339, get passed by legislators.
The California High Speed Rail Authority is heaving a sigh of relief, as the Federal Railroad Administration announced its decision to give the Authority an extension on a $180 million payment.
The City of Turlock is next on the list for representatives from the Stanislaus Council of Governments - the regional transportation planning agency - who are making their way through the county garnering support for a half-cent countywide transportation sales tax.
When the City of Turlock decided to hold a public workshop on the proposed increases to water rates, city staff were preparing for Turlock residents attending the meeting to be in opposition or protest. But as Wednesday's workshop came to an end, many of the residents were calling for the City to include harsher penalties for ratepayers, as they believe it would create an incentive to conserve water.
As the drought continues to devastate agriculture dependent communities, Gov. Jerry Brown has announced emergency legislation to immediately help communities deal with the extremely dry conditions, while providing funding to increase local water supplies.
The City of Turlock's Sunnyview Park might soon bear the name of the late Mayor Quaile Norton, following the request of a Turlock resident.
Although Councilmember Steven Nascimento's ordinance related to campaign finances did not gain approval at Tuesday's meeting, his other resolution aiming to refine the council's Code of Conduct was approved in a 3-2 vote.

We are a leading Manufacturer & Supplier of Sulfide Chemical such as Ammonium Sulfide, Potassium Sulfide, Sodium Sulfide and Zinc Sulfide from India.
CAS No 12135-76-1
Application / Uses Preparation
Ammonium sulfide, is an unstable salt with the formula (NH4)2S. Aqueous solutions purporting to contain this salt are commercially available. With a pKa exceeding 15,[2] the hydrosulfide ion cannot be deprotonated to an appreciable amount by ammonia. Thus, such solutions mainly consist of a mixture of ammonia and (NH4)SH.
CAS No 1312-73-8
Application / Uses Preparation
Potassium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula K2S. The colourless solid is rarely encountered, because it reacts readily and irreversibly with water, a reaction that affords potassium bisulfide (KSH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
CAS No 1313-82-2
Application / Uses Preparation
Sodium sulfide is the name used to refer to the chemical compound Na2S, but more commonly it refers to the hydrate Na2S·9H2O. Both are colorless water-soluble salts that give strongly alkaline solutions. When exposed to moist air, Na2S and its hydrates emit hydrogen sulfide, which smells much like rotten eggs or flatus.
CAS No 1314-98-3
Application / Uses Preparation
Zinc sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula ZnS. Zinc sulfide is a white to yellow-colored powder or crystal. It is typically encountered in the more stable cubic form, known also as zinc blende or sphalerite.[1] The hexagonal form is also known both as a synthetic material and as the mineral wurtzite.[

Solar Impulse, the solar plane is currently preparing to depart from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. They have been entertaining the curious public as well as other renewable energy supporters. The team is waiting for the right conditions to continue on their mission which is scheduled to happen on Monday the 3rd of June. This leg will take them to Lambert – St. Louis International Airport in St Louis, Missouri.
While they were still at Moffett Airfield in Mountain View, California, Richard Branson visited the Solar Impulse team. You may remember his aviation adventures which include his hot air balloon "Virgin Atlantic Flyer" crossing the Atlantic in 1987. It is said that a new venture of his will offer a revolutionary, cheaper fuel for automobiles and, in the near future, aircraft. Seems a great fit with the solar plane, Solar Impulse. This is what the Solar Impulse team had to say:
Welcome to Sir Richard Branson! Our New and Enthusiastic Patron
AcrossAmerica, Richard Branson visits Solar Impulse, Bertrand Piccard, André Borschberg and Richard Branson discussing in front of the Solar Impulse, Moffett Field hangar in Mountain View, CA, USA, 01.05.2013 | © Solar Impulse | Ackermann | Rezo.ch
Last month, the Solar Impulse team at Moffett was presented with an unusual visit. Sir Richard Branson, Founder and Chairman of Virgin Group, British business tycoon and entrepreneur, showed up at Moffett Airfield. Although it might have appeared as a surprise, the parallels between Solar Impulse and Richard are all too evident for it to be a simple coincidence.Click HERE or on the image to go to view the video. Remember CAPTAIN CHELSEY "SULLY" SULLENBERGER? There are interviews with him and SIR RICHARD BRANSON on the video.
Richard and Bertrand have a relationship that stretches back to their ballooning days. In fact, Richard, with Per Lindstrand, were the first to cross the Pacific Ocean in a hot air balloon in 1991. Seven years later, in 1999, Bertrand, with Brian Jones, were the first to circumnavigate the globe beating Richard, Linstrand and Fossett's similar attempt in 1998.
I doff my cap to him. –Richard responded elegantly when asked about the potential rivalry this might have caused.
Richard is also looking at ways to harness solar power by using it to tow aircraft onto the runway in the near future.
I just need to find a way to smuggle that plane out in my pocket! –Richard was extremely enthusiastic and impressed at the sight of Solar Impulse, to the point that he jokingly added.
One could feel the camaraderie between André, Bertrand and Richard as the pilots showed off their engineering jewel to the Englishman. He even recognized, in HB-SIA's sleek silhouette, a great communication tool – a message carrier, a "weapon" to showcase the potential of clean techs and innovation – values Richard also shares.
I always set myself challenges that might seem impossible… –Richard didn't hesitate to become Solar Impulse's Patron and, as he was leaving for another engagement in his busy schedule, he gave big thumbs up with his trademark smile.
Wait, haven't I heard that somewhere already? André? Bertrand? I think we found our project's new soul mate!

Organic Chinese Food/Restaurant
Does anyone know of an organic Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area, preferably one that specifies where the meat comes from (since "organic" doesn't mean much with respect to meat and dairy).
my impression is that chinese people don't pay as much emphasis on organic food as they do on taste. some of them, however, do care about the quality of the meat and the source of it, for example, certain type of chicken, etc.), so certain higher end chinese restaurants do use better ingredients.
i suspect that if there is an organic chinese restaurant, the food may not be as 'chinese' as one would like.
what kind of chinese are you specifically are you looking to eat? that may help narrow it down.
i think there is an organic dim sum place somewhere in sf, there may be an organic place in the marina. both are somewhat westernized as i vaguely recall.
re: ckshen
Hi, interesting you mention your impression that Chinese people put more emphasis on taste than farming practices or quality, as I got the same impression.
I'm just looking to eat chow mein, fried rice, wonton soup, kung pao, etc. In other words, dishes you'd find on this menu:
re: Nate650
I don't think organic is a word that chinese people use a lot. i tend to believe that it is because farming practices in china/ asia resemble closer to the western mechanization/ fertilization/ pesticide practices long after the same practices become prevalent in the western world, particularly in the states. before that, everything is pretty 'organic' and somewhat local but nobody will label their food as organic because that's the norm rather than the exception. to this day the word organic still is not used frequently in the chinese world. on menus, good ingredients may not be emphasized the same way as in western menus - 'marin sun farm grass fed beef with soul food farm organic free range egg, etc.'. but discerning patrons is aware of the source and gravitate towards the good ingredients.
when i said that chinese people don't place as much emphasis on organic, i don't necessarily think that they don't like organic or care about organic practices as you mentioned, but i believe that the word 'organic' is used a lot more frequently in the western world and carries the 'allure' whether or not the ingredients itself, organic they may be, justifies such attraction. and as i mentioned certain segment of Chinese people care very much about the quality of the food/ meat, just like a certain segment of western folks care about the same and they go to restaurants that offer the better ingredients/ options. on the flipside, there are also a bunch of chinese and westerners who don't care about quality of their food, and choose their dining options accordingly.
nowadays, where quality is demanded, the source of the ingredients is also heavily stressed. when the dish where the meat is the star, like whole chicken, etc, nicer restaurants have good ingredients and people know the source of the ingredients. that said, for dishes such as chow mein, fried rice, wonton soup where the preparation calls for mincing and dicing of the meat to somewhat unrecognizable shapes, its rare to see the best ingredients used in those cases.
re: ckshen
Also for many of us, organic isn't worth the price differential that you have to pay.
re: ckshen
Well said, thanks.
re: mlutsky
Charlie Hong Kong is a pretty novel concept for the Bay Area (order food at a window and eat it at outdoor tables), but to me barely qualifies as a Chinese restaurant. There are lots of preps that are clearly Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, etc. The emphasis is much more on healthy ingredients than authenticity of flavors/cuisine.
re: bigwheel042
A UCSC alum suggested it to me and I was very disappointed. It's not Chinese food at all.
Danny Bowien waited on us today at Mission Chinese Food and happened to mention that all their meat & vegetables are organically (or maybe he said responsibly) sourced. Food was tasty and spicy! Definitely worth checking out.

re: possumspice
Responsibly sourced would make more sense.
He's all about trying to balance value and quality, which is why he used Harris Ranch (granted, still organic) beef for Mission Burger instead of something like Niman Ranch or Marin Sun Farms. So I'm guessing that the ingredients at Mission Chinese Food are all high-quality, they just might not come from t he famous farms we're used to hearing about.

re: vulber
Harris Ranch beef is not organic. It is typical industrial (i.e., GMO) corn-fed feedlot beef and is an example of the type of beef I'd like to avoid.
re: Nate650
If you have any questions about organic and Harris, just put down your window when driving on I5 in San Joaquin valley.
re: OldTimer
re: Nate650
I was wrong abou tHarris Ranch, but keep in mind that large amounts of cattle in confined feedlots does not prevent something from being organic.
re: vulber
Yeah, the definition of "organic" is sketchy sometimes.
re: Nate650
"Organic" is strictly defined by federal regulations, but they cover only what animals are fed and how they're slaughtered.
re: Robert Lauriston
There is a new law that applies to organic beef (not sure if it applies to all organic meats) which states that organic beef must come from cows that spend at least 30% of their time grazing on pasture grasses. I'm unclear though whether it took effect this past June or it will take effect next June.
re: Nate650
It took effect last June 17, but enterprises certified before Februalry 17 of this year are given until June 17, 2011 to comply, so it's next year for all practical purposes. http://is.gd/fLbbp
re: soupçon
Thanks for the link soupçon!
re: possumspice
Bowien said "responsibly sourced proteins and vegetables" in this interview:
Neither Harris Ranch nor Niman Ranch nor Marin Sun Farms beef is organic.
re: Robert Lauriston
I'd be more interested in grass fed beef than certified organic beef, as organic feedlots do exist. So sadly the only difference between industrial meat and some organic meat brands may be that the feed is organic, and no anbiotics and hormones are used, but that's about it. Marin Sun Farms is not certified organic by choice, but they do raise their meat organically and is by far the best option out of those three.
re: Nate650
The sticking point for most would-be organic beef ranchers is getting through the winter without occasionally having to resort to non-organic feed. I'm skeptical that Marin Sun Farms' statement "choose to not certify with the federal government" should be read as a claim that they could be certified organic without changing any of their practices.
Prather Ranch is certified organic, but many of their expensive practices are subsidized by their primary business of producing raw materials for the production of medical products such as pharmaceutical-grade collagen.

re: Morton the Mousse
I've no experience with Heaven's Dog or Imperial Tea Court, but Tru Gourmet makes some really delicious Dim Sum. The stuff we had was locally caught and sustainable fish, Marin Sun pork (I think), and all-around wonderful. They don't have a brick and mortar location, so you'll have to find them at the Marin farmer's market or various street eats events. They are worth searching out--the dim sum was that good, to me.
I really love the food at Mission Chinese Food. Not really authentic, but not Americanized either. This is a weird analogy, but here goes nothing: Delfina is about as Italian as Mission Chinese Food is Chinese. They both innovate in ways that make sense in California, and both use good quality California ingredients.

re: Chandavkl
Other than being Vegan, calling their food "healthy" and tossing the word "green" around, I don't think Loving Hut makes any representations about the source of their food.
re: soupçon
The SF branch's menu specifies that a few things are organic, including the rice.

Other than Denver's early four-goal streak, the game remained a back and forth battle between the top two teams in the league. Earning the Bud Light Playoff MVP was Toronto's Merrick Thomson, who over the weekend helped seal the Nationals' fate by scoring six goals in two games.
The first quarter showed promise for another exciting one as the score remained close at 2-1 in Toronto's favor. To start things off, the Nationals got on the board in less than one minute with a goal from long stick Nick O'Hara. Next, Josh Sims of the Outlaws kept his streak alive after a four-goal performance yesterday by putting up Denver's first mark of the championship game when he carried the ball from the midfield and fired one in over goalie Doc Schneider's head. The next play served as one of the most exciting plays of the weekend as Canadian All-Star John Grant Jr. carried the ball around the crease and got around defender Brett Hughes with a behind the back shot that went top corner for the lead.

Both defensive systems came out on fire with attitudes to match as Toronto picked up 11 ground balls and Denver got 9 in the first quarter alone. Shane Walterhoefer, who was an all-star face-off specialist in college, also made his mark today winning 14 of 22 face-off attempts against Toronto's Geoff Snider.
An uneventful first few minutes of the second quarter ended when Toronto's Jeff Zwicki got on the board with Toronto's third goal of the game. Then, after a clear from Denver goalie Jesse Schwartzman, who finished with 14 saves, rookie midfielder Max Seibald saw Matt Brown in front of the net for a goal with 8:42 remaining in the half. And it was only a matter of time before Brendan Mundorf got on a hot streak beginning with a crease goal off a pass from Drew Westervelt to tie it up 3-3. Mundorf followed his first goal with an assist to Brian Langtry from behind the net for a Denver behind-the-back powerplay goal before he scored his third point in just over two minutes to make it 5-3. Toronto's Zwicki rounded out the f irst half scoring with a goal to make it 5-4 before the buzzer sounded.
After the break, Toronto Nationals goalie Brett Queener made his first appearance of the weekend in front of a roaring crowd after breaking his right hand during warm-ups at yesterday's semifinal game. Queener, who is known for his passionate play and his memorable performance at this year's MLL All-Star freestyle competition, leads the league in save percentage. Stepping in for rookie Schneider, who ended with 12 saves, Queener finished out the game with 11.
Thomson opened up the second half with his first goal of the day before Jeff Sonke took the Outlaws back into the lead, caitching a pass from Mundorf to make it 6-5. Then, Denver's Mike Ward got on the board off an assist from Matt Bocklett to go ahead by two for the second time today. But the scoring streak would end there as Zwicki scored for a hat trick before Thomson got a goal on a powerplay to tie the game for the fourth time. Four minutes later, Mundorf scored his fifth point of the day to bring the Outlaws into the lead by one.
Despite coming out after tweaking his knee in the first half, Toronto's John Grant Jr. came back in the game to score the first goal of the final period just 36 seconds into play to even it up at 8-8. But, Denver went ahead yet again with a second goal from Sims before Toronto got a mark from Shawn Williams to tie it at 9-9 with 4:30 left to play.
A grueling final few minutes saw both teams scrambling to get ahead when it mattered most. Then, with just 45 seconds left to play, Williams struck again off of an assist from Walters to finish off the Outlaws and win it 10-9.
* * * *
Annapolis, Md. - The Denver Outlaws fell to the Toronto Nationals in the waning seconds today in the MLL Championship game, losing by a score of 10-9 in Annapolis, MD. Attackman Brendan Mundorf (UMBC) performed well once again and recorded his second consecutive hat trick (to go with two assists for five points on the day) of the post-season and midfielder Josh Sims (North Carolina) contributed another two goals to lead the team in scoring. Outlaws netminder Jesse Schwartzman (Johns Hopkins) came up big between the pipes yet again, making 14 saves include several key stops in the final minutes of play. Leading the Nationals in scoring was Jeff Zywicki who recorded a hat trick and an assist of his own.
Toronto was the first team to find the back of the net with a goal from Nick O'Hara 59 seconds in. After two end-to-end possessions Sims showed he still had the offensive magic shown in last night's game, taking the ball the length of the field before blasting in a shot at 4:45. The next 10 minutes saw both sides exchange a fast break and several solid saves by Schwartzman. Nationals attackman John Grant Junior broke the scoreless run with a behind the back shot with one minute remaining.
In quarter two the two teams continued to test other's defensive units, with goalies Schwartzman and Doc Schneider playing well in net. Just over five minutes in (5:25) Toronto's Jeff Zywicki scored to put his team up 3-1. Less than a minute later attackman Matt Brown (Denver) answered for the Outlaws on an assist from midfielder Max Seibald (Cornell). Momentum stayed with Denver as attackmen and UMBC grads Drew Westervelt and Mundorf connected for another tying goal at 7:04.
This was just a glimpse of things to come in the quarter though. Midfielder Brian Langtry got into the act when Mundorf found him charging inside and the Hoftra grad scored on a diving behind-the-back shot for his first goal of the weekend (8:02). Than at 9:35 Mundorf completed the Outlaws' four goal run with one of his patented low, inside goals (while muscling easily through a defensman). Rounding out the scoring in the half was Zywicki who brought the Nationals back within one at 13:01.
Nationals goalie Brett Queener started the second half despite breaking his hand in warm ups before yesterday's game, which seemed to add energy for his team. Nearly five minutes in Merrick Thomson scored on Schwartzman after being left open next to the net (assist to John Grant Junior; 4:27). Midfielder Jeff Sonke (North Carolina) responded for Denver and fired in a high shot from 15 yards out (assist to Mundorf) to put the Outlaws back up 6-5. Midfielder Mike Ward (Duke) then scored his first goal of the season about a minute and a half later (1:23) when he blasted in a shot from the 2-point arch (foot on the line however).
With the game settled at 7-5 Zywicki and Thomson battled back for momentum with their own respective goals (8:54 and 9:58) to tie the game once again. Play evened back out for the next four minutes with both sides struggling to break the deadlock. Mundorf would be the one to answer the call, recording a hat trick with a high-rising shot over a Toronto defenseman to put Denver up 8-7 with just over a minute remaining. Mundorf almost had his seventh goal of the weekend with the clock winding down but was called for a crease violation.
In the final quarter of the season, Grant Jr. struck first with a goal 37 seconds in. In the next seven minutes of play the top-two offensive units in the league swung back and forth to no avail. With the first TV timeout wrapped up in the fourth quarter and the game tied at 8-8, an intense finale was guaranteed. A few seconds after that (7:43) Outlaws midfielder Dan Hardy (Syracuse) found Sims for a goal after a quick restart while the Nationals were protesting a substitution infraction.
The seesaw battle continued with Shawn Williams scoring on an easy point-blank shot at 10:30 when a Denver miscommunication left him alone in front of Schwartzman. In the most tense string of play seen this year, both teams tested each other consistently. Schwartzman kept his team in it with a huge save at 3:09, and the squads continued to battle back and forth down the stretch. With 45 seconds remaining Williams scored his second goal of the game in what would be the nail in the coffin. The subsequent face-off was then won by Toronto and after a quick timeout the Nationals clinched the win and the title, 10-9.
