"The argument for up-armoring is always based on the least likely of terrorist scenarios. Anyone can get a gun and shoot up stuff. No amount of SWAT equipment can stop that."—Mark Randol, former terrorism expert with the Congressional Research Service
In Montgomery County, Texas, the sheriff's department owns a $300,000 pilotless surveillance drone, like those used to hunt down al Qaeda terrorists in the remote tribal regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Augusta, Maine, with fewer than 20,000 people and where an officer hasn't died from gunfire in the line of duty in more than 125 years, police bought eight $1,500 tactical vests. Police in Des Moines, Iowa, bought two $180,000 bomb-disarming robots, while an Arizona sheriff is now the proud owner of a surplus Army tank.

Vaporetto Passes
Hello, When you purchase a vaporetto pass (24, 48 hour etc), does the clock start ticking from the time of purchase or the first time you use it? I can't seem to find an answer on the actv website or the guidebook. I used the 72 hour pass last visit but we bought it right before getting on the boat for our first ride. This time we may not be getting on until we're at an unmanned stop. Which I guess brings me to my second question: can you buy the passes at the ticket machines at every stop vs. staffed ticket booths? Thanks so much, Jodi

According to the Korea Herald – South Korea is making it's last ditch effort to gain a seat on UN Security Council:
Seoul is pitching its role in Northeast Asian security and world peace stemming from its strategic location and North Korea's threat, to achieve one of this year's biggest diplomatic projects.
The election for the seat that India held is on October 18. Korea's competetion is Bhutan and Cambodia. What are the other countries' selling points?
"As a responsible member of the international community, committed to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter, Bhutan is now prepared and seeks to engage directly in the process of building a more secure world through non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council," he noted. "This we regard, not only as a privilege, but also, as a responsibility of UN membership."
"Never having served nor sought membership on the Council before, we are convinced that all states, regardless of size, population, level of development, must be permitted the opportunity to contribute by bringing diversity of thought, approach and indeed, their will, to the work of the Council," he said.
Cambodia is apparently taking the election pretty seriously. Dissing Bhutan's efforts as being "cute" and its Happiness Campaign as being :"idealistic" but it is with Korea that they are getting nasty. According to Inner City Press:
The lead Cambodia campaigner, who gave Inner City Press his business card and said it was fine to report on the meeting, said that Ban as Secretary General should count AGAINST South Korea. "It's too much," he said. "I'm hearing about the Koreanization of the UN." He paused. "Some day we'll come here and it will be nothing but Samsung."
"This should not just be about money," he said. "It should be about values." He contrasted what he called Cambodia's concern with the whole world – he said the country contributed observers to Syria – to what he can Ban's or South Korea's focus on their own peninsula.

|I took many lead falls trying to get this route, watch your shins! I didn't think it was run out too much. #9 metolius I believe,or a big hex to protect the mungy middle of the climb. There were a couple of pockets in/near the crux that offer decent holds. I got to the anchors but never redpointed. Oh yeah, that was 8-9 years ago. I live in boulder now and still think of this route.

|Excellent climb. Like the previous poster, Ive fallen more times on this than I care to remember. Blue camalot protects the step across - but probrably not needed. Bolt placement makes it not at all scary, but uber frustrating to keep slowly coming off the moves. Fun climb to work and very subtle changes reap huge rewards.

What I can tell you is, now that I've discovered this treasure, it's on my list of favorite New Mexican food in Las Cruces.
This small homestyle New Mexican restaurant sits in a small strip, at the corner of Idaho Avenue and Solano Drive.
What Mi Pueblito lacks in size, it makes up for in taste . . . in a big way.
Seating yourself isn't hard, there are only about 10 tables to choose from and the large plate windows keep the restaurant full of sunlight. The tables were comfortable and clean, and we were greeted by the staff right away with menus, a bowl of chips and a steaming cup of green salsa. A few dashes of salt and it was superb. The chile temperature was solid and seemed to increase with each bite - hot enough to stay interesting, but never overwhelming.
There aren't any surprises on the menu, you're going to find the standard burrito selection, carne plates as well as posole and a breakfast menu served all day.
When it was time to order, the wife picked green huevos rancheros with red carne, while I asked the waitress for the most popular selection. She suggested the red combination plate with carne, an enchilada, taco, and tamale. That sounded like more than enough for me. The wait time was great, only about five minutes for the plates to come out, and everything looked fantastic on the plate.
My taco was tasty, an overstuffed corn shell that was hand-fried — far superior to pre-made shells — and the ground beef was seasoned well.
The red carne at Mi Pueblito has a lot of flavor, but not a lot of bite. The pork and potatoes were tender enough to fall apart at the touch of my fork, but still juicy and pleasant. The green chile on the eggs had a bit more kick, but wasn't that spicy. I was pleasantly surprised that nothing on my plate needed any salt to finish off the flavor.
For most restaurants, the side dishes are usually afterthoughts, but Mi Pueblito puts a little bit of TLC into their frijoles and arroz. The rice was some of the most fluffy and moist I've had while writing reviews, and if their beans were from a can, then they got one over on me, this time.
Before we left, I had the urge grab something from their burrito menu, so I ordered a beef fajita burrito to go. I didn't get around to eating it until several hours later, and re-heated it in the microwave. I can still say I highly recommend it. The beef, just like the pork, was juicy and tender, and the onions and peppers were still full of flavor.
All the clichés about the hole in the wall restaurant being a great place to stop in and try are true when it comes to Mi Pueblito. You might have seen the menu before, but you might find a new favorite place to enjoy it.

The grandiose reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater has negatively effected its neighbor, the Maly Theater, causing the building to sink faster into the earth, according to the drama house's director.
Both theaters, built on the city's Teatralnaya Ploshchad, had the same problem connected with ground waters flowing through the area, but the destruction has never been as fast as now, Tamara Mikhailova, the Maly Theater head, told Moskovsky Komsomolets last week.
"The issue has been going on for many years, but [now] the hydrogeology has changed," she said linking the changes to reinforcement works in the Bolshoi's basement. "It came out, that they went 40 meters deeper, and we are on the bank of the [subterranean] Neglinka River".
Show must go on
Currently, the theater is surrounded by a fence as a long-awaited reconstruction has finally started.
But the repair works will not affect the Maly's program for now, Mikhailova said, thanks to jet piles which can be used to fix the basement without much disruption.
"We will close only while a slab is installed directly under the theater," she told MK.
Last time the theater underwent a serious reconstruction was back in 1949 during which it lost its original historical appearance.

Finding a job in Rochester remains tough going. But it's getting measurably easier, as the region heads into 2014 with unemployment levels falling to levels not seen for five years.
As of November, the area unemployment rate was 6.3 percent, the state Labor Department said Tuesday. That was more than a full percentage point improvement over the 7.4 percent unemployment rate in November 2012. And it was the lowest unemployment figure for the area since December 2008, when unemployment - then growing in the face of the 2007-2009 recession - was 6.5 percent.
While that 6.3 percent remains above ...

'Tis the season ... to pose for David LaChappelle. The Kardashian - Jenner crew revealed their latest family holiday card on Sunday's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians: a Very Merry Christmas," and it is a doozy. Shot by legendary fashion shutterbug David LaChappelle against a backdrop of Hollywood movie theater props and old tabloids, the family photo features plenty of cleavage (Kim), leg (Kendall) and general oddball behavior (we're lookin' at you in that glass case, Bruce). Various photos of the family members -- including one in the form of Bruce on an old Wheaties box from his Olympian heyday era -- also dot the scenery.
In previous years, the family's holiday card has included Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's significant others, but this year, Kanye West, Scott Disick and Lamar Odom are notably absent (Yeezy does, however, appear on a copy of Rolling Stone that's been strewn on the floor). Also missing from the frame is Kimye's baby daughter, North, although the lack of a few loved ones doesn't seem to have dampened anyone's photo shoot fun.
"I loved working with David LaChapelle," Kris Jenner recently told E! News of the shoot. "It was amazing and it was so much fun!"

text: EIGHTEENTH DAY Wednesday, 12 December 1945 Morning Session THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will adjourn this morning at 12:30 for a closed session and sit again at 2:00 o'clock. MR. DODD: May it please the Tribunal, I should like to report to the Tribunal this morning with reference to the questions which arose yesterday afternoon concerning three documents. After adjournment we found that Document 2220-PS was in the defendants' Information Center in photostatic form, and that the two other documents, being respectively two entries from the Frank diary, were also there but in a different form. The Frank diary consists of some 40-odd volumes which we, of course, were not able to photostat, so we had placed instead in the defendants' room the excerpts. As a matter of fact, we had placed the entire document book there. DR. ALFRED SEIDL (Counsel for the Defendant Frank): Yesterday the Prosecution submitted documents concerning the Defendant Frank; the numbers are 2233(a)-PS and 2233(b)-PS, which were presented as Exhibits USA-173 and USA-174. These are not ordinary documents, but excerpts from the diary of Frank. Six weeks ago I applied in writing to have this diary, which consists of 42 heavy, thick volumes, submitted to me. I made this request for the first time on the 2d of September, the second time on the 16th of November, the third time on the 18th of November, and the fourth time on the 3rd of December. Unfortunately, I have not so far received this diary, and I should like to ask the Tribunal that it be submitted to me as soon as possible, not least because this material was surrendered by the Defendant Frank himself to the officers who arrested him and was to be used as evidence for his defense. I am of course not in a position to work through all this material in a few days, and I should like to ask the Tribunal that this diary be put at my disposal without delay. In this connection I should like to call the attention of the Tribunal to another matter. The Tribunal has already approved that the four long speeches which the Defendant Frank delivered in Germany in 1942 and which led to his dismissal by Hitler from

JERUSALEM (AP) - An Israeli court delivered two consecutive life sentences to a U.S.-born Jewish extremist for the murder of two Palestinians and the attempted murder of others.
The Jerusalem District Court sentenced Jack Teitel on Monday.
Originally from Florida, Teitel was living in the West Bank when arrested in 2009. He was convicted in January for the 1997 killings.
Teitel was given additional time for charges including weapon violations and incitement to violence. He was ordered to pay compensation to victims' families.
The indictment said Teitel sought to avenge the deaths of Israelis killed by Palestinians.
In addition to his Palestinian victims, Teitel also targeted a dovish Israeli professor and messianic Jews who venerate Jesus. A teenager was injured when opening a booby-trapped package.
The court rejected his insanity plea.

Capt. Jeffrey Haney, who died in the November 2010 crash, joined the Air Force in 2003. (Air Force)
- Filed Under
More on the crash
PDF file: Read the accident board report
Sources: Bleed-air issue led to Raptor crash (Sept. 8)
Sources: Toxins in cockpit grounded F-22s (July 25)
Capt. leaves wife, 2 daughters after F-22 crash (Nov. 25, 2010)
An Air Force accident investigation board report blames the Nov. 16, 2010, crash of an F-22 Raptor on Capt. Jeff "Bong" Haney despite a malfunction of the jet's bleed air intakes, which caused an automatic shutdown of multiple aircraft systems including the primary oxygen system.
An aircraft's engine bleed air system extracts air from a jet engine's compressor section to generate power and supply gases for an aircraft's life support system, among other systems.
The AIB report confirms http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2011/09/air-force-bleed-air-issue-led-to-raptor-crash-sources-say-090811w/">Air Force Times' Sept. 8 report, in which an industry source and a pilot both said that a bleed air malfunction had caused the crash by shutting down the oxygen system. The AIB, however, places the blame on Haney for not reacting quickly enough to activate the jet's emergency oxygen system or recover from a dive he inadvertently entered into as he struggled to regain his air supply.
"I find the cause of the mishap was the MP's [mishap pilot] failure to recognize and initiate a timely dive recovery due to channelized attention, breakdown of visual scan and unrecognized spatial disorientation," wrote Brig. Gen. James Browne, president of the AIB.
The F-22's On-board Oxygen Generating System, which supplies breathing air to the pilot and has been under investigation for most of the year, did not malfunction and wasn't a contributing factor, the report said. But the crucial device did shut down because of the bleed-air problem. In September, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz said oxygen had not played any role in the crash.
The report notes that "the MP most likely experienced a sense similar to suffocation," but also rules out hypoxia as contribution factor however despite the shut down of the oxygen system.
"Due to the high affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin, the MP would have had adequate blood oxygen supply after the OBOGS failed," the AIB report states. "It was concluded that the late recognition of the MA's [mishap aircraft's] unusual attitude and appropriate corrective actions attempted by the MP demonstrates that hypoxia was not a factor in this mishap."
A knowledgeable source agreed that Haney would not have fully succumbed to hypoxia, but would have been showing symptoms. Despite what the report says, the source said hypoxia would have played a role even if the pilot had not been rendered unconscious.
"The rate at which he descended, though, he would have been at a hypoxia-safe altitude within time to have not fully succumbed to hypoxia and should have only had symptoms versus unconsciousness," the source said.
The environmental control system, air cycle system, On-Board Inert Gas Generating System, cabin pressure and OBOGS were all shut down when the aircraft's computer shut off the malfunctioning bleed-air system, according to the AIB report. The bleed-air system remains closed in the event of a malfunction to prevent fires.
The aircraft's memory unit showed "partial pressure to the MP's [mishap pilot] oxygen stopped shortly after 19:42:37 L, which would lead to severely restricted breathing," the accident report reads.
However, Haney did retain enough consciousness to attempt a recovery from a steep dive the aircraft entered into right before the crash. It was too late, however, as the Raptor impacted the ground a scant three seconds later.
However, Haney did not manage to active the Emergency Oxygen System to supply him with air, which he needed to do in case the OBOGS shutdown. As the report notes "severely restricted breathing is a physiological symptom which would have prompted the [mishap pilot] to active the EOS."
Pilots have said that the emergency oxygen supply is notoriously difficult to use in the Raptor.
The AIB report states that as Haney struggled for air, "he channelized his attention on restoring airflow to his oxygen mask."
As Haney fought to restore his oxygen supply, he inadvertently began to roll the aircraft and his "visual scan" of the aircraft's instruments and external situation broke down. He entered into a state of "unrecognized spatial disorientation," according to the AIB report. The aircraft rolled 240 degrees and dropped to a 53 degree nose down attitude. Had Haney not been distracted by trying to breathe, he would have recognized the problem, the report reads. Haney didn't make any intentional control inputs for some 39 seconds.
"The fact that the [mishap pilot] went from a controlled flight regime to an unusual attitude and did not take corrective actions for 30 seconds suggests he had unrecognized spatial disorientation," the AIB report reads. "At 19:42:24L the [mishap pilot] recognized the [mishap aircraft's] position and attempted to perform a dive recovery."
Ultimately, the Air Force chose to blame Haney rather than attribute the crash to a malfunctioning bleed-air system and a difficult to use emergency oxygen supply.

CHICAGO -- Devin Hester sometimes takes criticism to heart. This time, he took it in stride.
The kick returner understood what Dave Toub meant when special teams coordinator pointed out Hester's lack of aggressiveness during the Bears' 13-7 victory against the Lions on Monday night.
"He's right," Hester said Friday. "I have to be more aggressive to the ball. I'm going to man up and confess that I haven't been as aggressive as I normally should be.
"The good thing is I know what mistakes I've made and I know how to fix them. That's the best part about being the type of player I am now."
Toub was critical particularly of Hester's decision to call a fair catch on a punt he fielded at the Lions 47-yard line.
"If he decides to return that last one instead of fair-catching it, it's a touchdown," Toub said. "Everybody knows it. He looked right over at the sideline. He knows."
Again, Hester agreed.
"I did look at (Toub) because I just couldn't say anything," Hester said. "I knew he was right. There was a lot going in my head. I'm not going to make excuses. I just should have made the play."
Hester hasn't had a return touchdown since Nov. 13 of last season, when he took back a punt 82 yards against the Lions. He stands 15th in the league in kickoff-return average at 26.9 yards and 17th in punt-return average at 7.6 yards. His longest kickoff return is 38 yards and longest punt return 23 yards.
The seven-year veteran holds the NFL record with 17-career kick-return touchdowns.
Hester refused to blame his slump on his increased responsibilities on offense. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice has promised to increase Hester's packages at receiver with Alshon Jeffery out with a fractured right hand.
Hester played 59 snaps against the Lions, which was 82 percent of the offensive plays.
"That really wasn't hindering my return game," Hester said. "I just have to be more aggressive. ... We look forward to this week."
Toub says he remains confident in Hester despite inserting Eric Weems and Earl Bennett for returns Monday night.
"I've been through this before with (Hester) and, all of a sudden, he'll just come out of it and get three in a row," Toub said. "We're not hitting the panic button yet."

Adventures of a Cyclist in Mexico City
Written by Gabriela Garcia Calderon OrbeTranslated by Gabriela García Calderón On 24 May 2014 @ 6:00 am | No Comments
In Citizen Media, Ideas, Latin America, Mexico, Quick Reads, Spanish
Global Voices contributor Andrea Arzaba [1] blogged about her adventures [2] the first time she went through Mexico D.F.:
There was no turning back. I took the card from my wallet and slided it through the Ecobici reader. This was the first time I went to work riding a bike. You usually know how to ride a bike at very young age, when you go to the park and after hours of practicing, from four wheels you go to just two. You feel the king of the universe, invincible, nothing can reach you, not even the wind.
Well, Andrea, you are ready. This can't be that difficult. Very well combed and formal, wearing a beige jacket and a black dress. Ready to be on time at the office.
Because a cyclist can move around in a car and can be a pedestrian too, just as a driver might want to take the bike once in a while. I mean, we are not in different teams: we are all individuals looking for more efficient ways to move around the city.
According to some estimates, in Mexico there are around 225 vehicles [3] [es] per thousand residents, and Mexico City and its metropolitan area houses more than 20 millionp people.

Preston Temple Pageant, 2013
The First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles have approved the performance of an official Church pageant at the site of the Preston England Temple in 2013. It will be the first official Church Pageant ever staged outside of North America. The Pageant itself will be an original work with an original script, but the story will be the story of the Saints of these islands and their faith in the unfolding drama of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ. We want as many young people – Youth and YSA – from all parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland – as is practical and possible to take part in the Pageant. We will need a cast of many hundreds and a support crew in all kinds of areas of activity to match. Watch this space.

How do I register to participate in Commencement and/or the Hooding Ceremony?
We offer a webform through which you may register to participate. The form will open in mid-April 2016.
Where do I pick up and return my rented regalia?
Information about regalia will be available on the website ~February 15, 2016.
Where is assembly for faculty on Commencement morning?
Faculty are asked to report to the assembly tent on Kresge Oval on Friday, June 3, between 8:45 am and 9:15 am for robing and assembly. Continental breakfast will be available. Further detail about arrangements for 2016, including those that pertain to security, will be sent directly to participants by Professor Paul Lagace.
How long are the Commencement Exercises?
The Commencement Exercises, which officially begin as the Academic Procession enters Killian Court at 10 am, conclude at approximately 1:30 pm. The names of graduates are read in alternating order between undergraduates and graduates.
Do I need a ticket to participate in Commencement?
If you are marching in the Commencement procession, you do not need a ticket. If you would like a ticket for your personal guest, please request it via firstname.lastname@example.com.
An important note: tickets available to MIT professors are intended for use by faculty members or their guests only. Faculty tickets are not to be given to students. This is a matter of both fairness and logistics, as these tickets are separate and apart from the "general seating" area for which degree candidates receive four guest tickets.
If you are not marching in the Academic Procession but would like to attend Commencement, please request a ticket by sending a note to firstname.lastname@example.com. We ask that you request a ticket in advance because Killian Court truly is at capacity due to the increased number of degree candidates over the past few years. Kindly request your ticket via email; you will receive a response and a wait list will be created and monitored as needed. Thank you.
Can I greet a special graduating student at Commencement?
There is limited space for moving on stage during the ceremony, but our faculty marshals work to allow faculty to find a way to greet special students.
Can I leave the stage and return during Commencement?
Faculty are an important part of the greeting during Commencement and are therefore asked to remain on stage. However, if you need to leave, there are stairs off the back of the stage and the faculty marshals can help you leave and return to stage once the actual awarding of degrees begins.
What happens after Commencement?
Graduates, guests, and faculty are invited to the individual School and department receptions held across campus.
Where do I go to assemble for the Hooding Ceremony?
Please report to Rockwell Cage on Thursday, June 2. Faculty are asked to arrive after 10:25 am, but no later than 10:35 am. Professor Paul Lagace, the Commencement faculty marshal, will assemble faculty in the line of march.
How long is the Hooding Ceremony?
The Hooding Ceremony lasts about 135 minutes. Faculty are asked to remain seated throughout. Thank you.
Who invests the hoods of Doctoral candidates at the Hooding Ceremony?
Either the department head or the department's representative invests the hoods, along with the chancellor, host of the event.
Further questions? Please send a note to email@example.com.

Watch these luscious cheesecakes bars disappear fast from your dessert table - a perfect treat for all chocolate lovers!
Purchase chocolate wafers to crush for the recipe. Look for them in slim boxes at the grocery store near cookies, baking ingredients and/or ice cream toppings. Or, use chocolate cookie crumbs found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.
Let the cheesecake stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting and serving it; the stand time helps the fudge adhere to the cake.
To make buffet service easy, pre-cut the cheesecake squares in the pan.

Just a quick thanks for this component: works really well, and really cleans up the look of my config...
I'm a bit a n00bie, so sorry if this an obvious question: is it possible at present to configure it to show mouseover tooltips? I'm thinking it would be good to have precise info on the potential chosen volume level or time point in the track before clicking. If this can't be done yet, is this a feasible feature request?

That three dozen Bristol residents turned out to the first public hearing held by the selectboard last week to review the town plan bodes well for the process. That most of the audience gave favorable reviews of the proposed plan, and were interested primarily in tweaking a few words and sentences also bodes well for what may be a long-sought consensus.
To be sure, residents found a few things they hope will be changed.

"We support the legitimate authority but legitimacy should not deprive us of our legitimate rights..."
Thursday, March 1, 2012
Enough laaar!
Not only The Star. Utusan Malaysia, NST, China Press and others should face the music for playing up such sensitive tunes. The Opposition-owned publications too should face the axe from the ministry. And what about pamphlets and other printed material by religious sects all over the country that belittles each other.
Also, may as well we tell the MCMC to screen and censor all similar elements on the Internet so that is won't reach our eyes and mind.
At the same time, ask the government to regulate a much harsher punishment to those involved. Send them to jail, if ours can accommodate them. Our jails would probably be full of journalists, writers, editors, politicians, lawyers and other professionals. Other criminals should spare the space for them.
Come on la bro!
A silly unintentional error does not reflect the mistake of the whole organisation. If an accountant errs in his calculation, we don't need to close the whole bank! The accountant should be put to task instead - issue him a warning or remove him.
I personally don't like the err committed by The Star the other day but to put the publication on suspension will eventually turn out to be a more disastrous decision. The Home Ministry has already issued out a show cause letter to the respective bosses, and I believe that's good enough.
The Star has already taken action against the sub-editor and personnel who made that mistake. An apology was published and that was sufficient enough. To err is human, and I was told the person who chose the picture was not aware of such tattoos on Erykah Badu.
Yes, this is a country that takes Islam as its official religion. However, the Muslims share the country with other faiths - Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. As Muslims, we have to admit that we sometimes make derogatory remarks about other religions too.
So, let's not be carried away by emotion. If we keep asking for 'capital punishment' to be taken each time when such a mistake happens, then we should be willing to take up the punishment ourselves.
Its also no point to cling on to our sentiment for the sake of the party or organisation we lead. If we keep on with such an approach, sooner or later the whole nation will fall apart. There are plenty of ways to settle such disputes in a multiracial Malaysia!
Unless we want to politicise the issue for personal gain or throw it out of proportion.

Okay, honestly did not read the star but reading from online reports, i should think those who oppose the concert should say thanks to them. After all, don't the organisers seek some sort of permit or appoval to bring foreign artists in? So, dah book venue, dah jual tiket, dah advertise, melayu dah protes lama, authorities buat tak layan. Tup, tup terbit gambar baru kelam kabut nak cancel. THAT picture was worth a million words obviously.
- March 1, 2012 at 7:58 AM
Bro Jai,
Maybe the writers are not at fault but we must take this issue seriously, not lightly.
This issue will happen again and could get worse if we tend to overlook the insensivity associate with it especially in religious matters.
Thus, there should be a check point in the process to screen this sort of thing.
Have a nice day.

How can you choose a picture when you are not aware of the tatoo??? Blur gilerr.
Astro uses the same picture - but with the name "Allah" deleted from the tatoo. Bukan susah nak edit gambar tu.

Yes bro you are right.
There were many calls for the government to suspend the paper. This I think is very irresponsible.
Nobody would like to make this kind of mistake.
As a non-Muslim I would not know the Arabic for ALLAH. This is really an honest mistake. To the Muslims, be forgiving.

We'd been picked up at our hotel in downtown Melbourne around 4:20am! ARRRGH! Everyone met at Rochford Winery, checked in, selected from the breakfast options and then were transported to "launch pad". There were 3 balloons going up. Each held 16 passengers plus the pilot. Now at the launch pad, our pilot (Brian) and another ground crew member connected the balloon to the basket! Brian definitely wanted to be sure he returned softly to the ground! That was good for us!

The cinnamon sugar topping on these sweet scones gives them the same appeal as a Snickerdoodle cookie. The fact that there's chocolate chips inside? Well, good luck keeping any leftovers for yourself. In fact, we advise making two (or three) batches, just to be safe.
Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Chip Scones
1 2lb bag Loveless Cafe Biscuit Mix
2/3 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup (2 sticks) Butter, cold and cubed
1 cup Milk, cold
1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
Splash (2 tsp) Heavy Cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend together biscuit mix, brown sugar and salt in a mixer bowl with a blade attachment. Add the cold butter (cubed) and mix until the mixture looks like fine granules (approximately 2 minutes). Add vanilla extract to milk to dry mixture and mix until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Roll out the dough to approximately 1 inch thickness and cut into triangles. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. With a fork, mix together the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the scones, lightly pressing. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

6.5 Histoplasmosis6.4 Understanding the Effect and Mechanisms of Occupational Exposures on Pulmonary Susceptibility to Infection | 6.6 RDRP Publications of Special Note Relating to Infectious Diseases
Over the past 25 years, RDRP scientists have investigated seven documented outbreaks of histoplasmosis among workers. The main cause to be a lack of worker and employer awareness regarding: the health risks of exposure to Histoplasma capsulatum; the type of activities which could cause an exposure; and methods to protect workers and others from being exposed. RDRP efforts in this area have been to educate workers and employers on the environments where histoplasmosis may occur and steps to prevent infection. These efforts have led to recommendations designed to reduce the incidence of occupational histoplasmosis.
Workers may develop Histoplasmosis when they inhale spores or hyphae of the soil-borne fungus, H. capsulatum. Histoplasmosis is not transmissible from person to person but occurs when soil or dust containing the fungus is disturbed and inhaled. This fungus is endemic in the U.S., with most of the documented infections occurring in central and eastern states, particularly in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. Soil and dust from areas where birds or bats roost are particularly prone to contain the fungus, as the animal droppings increase the nitrogen content of the soil and allow the fungus to proliferate (A6-114).
The first documented cases of occupational histoplasmosis in the U.S. occurred in a 1938 outbreak among 23 Works Progress Administration workers removing pigeon droppings from a schoolhouse in Plattsburgh, New York (A6-115).179 A search of the scientific literature from 1938 to the present found 35 reports of occupational histoplasmosis in either individual or groups of U.S. workers. From these, RDRP scientists identified occupations at risk of histoplasmosis: bridge inspectors or painters; chimney cleaners; construction workers; demolition workers; farmers; gardeners; heating and air conditioning installer or service persons; microbiology laboratory workers; pest control workers; restorers of historic or abandoned buildings; roofers. Histoplasmosis has also been documented in workers incidentally exposed either downwind of soil-disturbing activities or through airborne soil particles entrained in building ventilation systems. It is likely that many of these infections could have been prevented if the potential for exposure had been identified and the proper precautions implemented.
RDRP efforts in this area have been to conduct HHEs on histoplasmosis exposure and to educate workers and employers on the environments where H. capsulatum may occur and on the proper steps to take when dusts or soils potentially containing the fungus are disturbed. RDRP scientists, in conjunction with others from NCID, developed a guidance document entitled "Histoplasmosis: Protecting Workers at Risk," disseminated by NISOH in 1997 and (in a revised form) in 2004 (A6-114).
In addition, RDRP scientists have developed a PCR method that has reduced the analysis time for detecting H. capsulatum in soil samples from many weeks to just two days (19, A6-116).
Outputs and Transfer
RDRP transferred its research results on histoplasmosis to others through: two HHE reports (A6-117, A6-118), two peer-reviewed scientific papers (20, 21, A6-119, A6-120), one industry trade journal paper (A6-121), a English and Spanish Fact Sheet (A6-122, A6-123), a MMWR article, (A6-124) three presentations at conferences and meetings (A6-125, A6-126, A6-127), and one NIOSH numbered document (A6-114).
Intermediate Outcomes
The NIOSH recommendations on preventing histoplasmosis have been adopted by other agencies and organizations, including: Laborers' Health and Safety Fund of North America (A6-128); Clemson University Research Medical Surveillance Program (A6-129); Defense Supply Center Richmond, Defense Logics Agency, Hazardous Technical Information Services (A6-130); StaffScapes Professional Employer Organization (A6-131); Korean Radiological Society (A6-132); and New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Epidemiology, Environmental, and Occupational Health, Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health Program (A6-133). The new RDRP NIOSH publication on protecting workers against histoplasmosis is cited on the OSHA Respiratory Protection Hazard Recognition Web page (A6-134). The CPWR electronic library of construction occupational safety and health replicates verbatim "Histoplasmosis: Protecting Workers at Risk" (revised edition) in both English and Spanish (A6-135, A6-136).
What's Ahead
This is a mature area of study. No new RDRP research in this area is planned or anticipated at this time, though we intend to continue dissemination of relevant information to prevent outbreaks of occupational histoplasmosis by maintaining awareness. New initiatives would only be undertaken should recurrence or worsening of the problem occur as documented through surveillance or by disease outbreaks.
Strategic and Intermediate Goals Moving Forward
The RDRP strategic goal is to prevent and reduce occupational respiratory infectious diseases.
To achieve this strategic goal, the following intermediate goals have been developed:

High school teachers and administrators may not see how to help them. But The Reporter editors and writers should. ...

I found one of the most helpful things for me as I started my journey was telling everyone about the things I was learning and what I had accomplished. It drove my friends crazy, I'm sure, but by constantly talking about the process it kept it at the forefront of my mind and kept me passionate about it! PASSION = MOTIVATION = SUCCESS!
When cooking or eating the smallest changes can make a big difference such as using non fat sour cream and lower fat cheeses. That is also true when eating condiments. I always go for the liter versions. I also try to stay away from white flour and sugar. I try to eat whole wheat products.

It may sound strange coming from an adult, but don't be afraid of the baby food aisle! The Gerber Graduates for toddlers line has low calorie finger/snack foods for kids, but grown-ups can eat them, too. There are healthy cereal and fruit bars and the apple cinnamon grain puffs are great mixed into greek yogurt!

2013 Tansley Lecture - Strategic Targets for Public Services: Lessons for Canada from the English Experience
Presented by Peter C. Smith, Professor of Health Policy, Imperial College London
April 18, 2013
When it came to power in 1997, Tony Blair's government sought to revolutionize the way in which UK public services were planned and delivered. In particular, it sought to focus the actions of ministers on explicit objectives and targets, in the form of 'Public Service Agreements' (PSAs). The distinctive feature of this system was a range of high profi le mechanisms designed to ensure that PSAs led to measurable changes in public service performance. This presentation summarizes the history of the PSA regime, describes some of the major issues that arose in its implementation, and assesses its general relevance to the management of public services by governments in Canada contemplating, implementing or using performance management regimes.
Peter C. Smith is Professor of Health Policy at Imperial College London, where he co-directs the Centre for Health Policy. He is a mathematics graduate from the University of Oxford, and was formerly Director of the Centre for Health Economics at the University of York. He is author of many academic papers on the financing and efficiency of public services, and is with Sherry Glied joint editor of the Oxford Handbook of Health Economics. Particular research interests include health system performance assessment, value for money, and the equitable financing of public services. Smith has advised many government ministries and international agencies, including the World Health Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

A graduate of two Ivy League institutions, the author of one highly regarded book (the less said about The Audacity of Hope, the better), and a former lecturer at the University of Chicago, President Obama has a reputation for being something of an intellectual. It's clearly part of his self-conception as well; "I'm comfortable with complexity," he's been known to say. And as anyone who slogged through David Remnick's Ulysses-length interview with him in the New Yorker last month can attest, Obama likes to laboriously argue both sides of any issue. It's as if he's trying a little too hard to live up to F. Scott Fitzgerald's dictum that intelligence "is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time."
So it was jarring, to say the least, when the president took a tasteless shot at that most esoteric of intellectual disciplines—art history—during a recent speech in Wisconsin. "A lot of young people no longer see the trades and skilled manufacturing as a viable career," he told an audience in Waukesha, "but I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." (He later walked back the remark, offering weakly, "I love art history.")
Obama's jab might have been offhand, but it was, nevertheless, disturbing. For one, the president used art history, essentially, as a punch line. He implied that there is something inherently risible about devoting one's time to studying mankind's highest cultural achievements. One would be hardpressed to imagine an example of more naked philistinism. It may, in fact, be prudent for many people to learn a trade. But making that point doesn't necessitate taking a cheap shot at the small, self-selected group of Americans (less than 0.2 percent of workingAmericans with college degrees) who devote themselves to the serious study of art. What's more, it's unlikely anyone in America right now is agonizing over whether to pursue an art history degree at Sarah Lawrence or instead train as a welder. His shot was simply gratuitous.
Besides, even by his own cramped and mercenary standards, which imply that the sole consideration when choosing a course of study is one's future earning potential, Obama is wrong. That art history majors are poor, as the president implied, must come as news to the 6 percent of them who are in the top 1 percent of income earners. Indeed, a higher percentage of art history majors are "one percenters" than are chemistry, computer science, pharmaceutical sciences, microbiology, or finance majors. Even within the humanities, the study of art history is unusually lucrative. A recent report from Georgetown University found that among Americans who earned bachelor's degrees in the liberal arts, art history majors earned the second-most, behind only those who majored in U.S. history. None of this is particularly surprising, given how intellectually challenging the discipline is. No one who spent their college years attending toga parties and sleeping through their morning classes graduated with an art history degree.
Nor is it particularly surprising when one considers that art doesn't only provide spiritual and intellectual nourishment: It's also a business. A big business, in fact—the global art market was valued at north of $60 billion in 2012, according to the European Fine Art Foundation. Art museums, meanwhile, are notching record visitor numbers and boast growing endowments. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, to take just one outsize example, has an endowment of nearly $3 billion. Is it any wonder, then, that the myriad art history majors who go on to become curators, gallery owners, or art dealers are doing quite well? Not to mention those art history majors who use their facility with the visual arts and their intellectual dexterity to become wildly successful fashion designers (Vera Wang) or big-time businesspeople (Fidelity Investments president Abigail Johnson).
All told, the average midcareer salary for an art history major is about $59,000—almost $10,000 higher than the median household income in the United States. Those jobs in the trades and manufacturing that Obama assured his audience in Wisconsin were more lucrative than art history? The average midcareer salary of a skilled carpenter is $44,000. Basic plumbers, meanwhile, earn $41,000, about as much as journeymen electricians. The average hourly wage in Obama's beloved manufacturing sector, meanwhile, is $19.60, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That equates to an annual salary of roughly $40,000. Even Obama's ballyhooed "green jobs" fail to generate actual green. Solar photovoltaic installers earn, on average, less than $38,000 a year.
Where people get into trouble is in going tens of thousands of dollars into debt to earn putatively "useful" degrees that end up paying the equivalent of those aforementioned jobs in the trades. Those who major in elementary education, for example, with its average salary of $41,400, or the culinary arts, with mid-career earnings of $46,800, may be setting themselves up for a lifetime of penury. Starting salaries—which are even more important, because students usually must begin repaying their loans within a year of leaving school—tell an even starker tale. Starting salaries for those who took the "pragmatic" course and majored in hospitality/tourism average $36,200 a year. Horticulture majors, meanwhile, can hope for a cool $37,000. The median starting income for journalism majors is $31,000, meaning that fully half of journalism majors start out making $30,999 or less. The choice, contra Obama, isn't between training as an electrician and studying art history—it's between training as an electrician and sinking tens of thousands of dollars into a "pragmatic" degree with no payoff.
So Obama is wrong on the facts. But perhaps what's most distressing about his dig at art history is what it says about the way he views the American people. Given his own liberal arts background (Obama's alma mater, Columbia, is noted for requiring all of its students to take a course in art history), one imagines that Obama doesn't actually dislike art history. He was probably just pandering. But in a way, that's even worse; it suggests that the president thinks that "Real Americans" in places like Wisconsin relish denigrating intellectual pursuits. As the president has it, in addition to religion, guns, and anti-immigrant sentiment, anti-intellectualism is just another thing that Americans "cling" to.
No, the problem with America is not that it has too many people studying art history. The problem with America is that it has a president who often fails to understand it.

If you think that sliding both tires around a corner is boring then reset your playstation settings and give it ago.
This was not a borning race for those who are really into the tech side of racing but I guess for Playstation Kings or riders who only ride when its sunny or who only ride to get a coffee with a magic vest on (with the design on the back that your mum did) then yes you would think its boring.

A new and innovative form of marketing through electronic mail is continuing its growth as a superior substitute for the marketing ad along with produce offers to the clientele, but in addition as the technique to carry on a communication with the consumers which keeps them affianced and returning back to the same websites again and again. This amalgamation of advertisements, offers and newsletters starts to boost up the volume of monthly electronic messages. At such a point individuals start experiencing few of the challenges regarding sending mass electronic mail online, particularly to electronic mail addresses belonging to the big and well known ISPs. At this point individuals start realizing that the communications they have can at the moment be insufficient to grip the level of electronic message they are sending.
It is very evident that the electronic messages individuals are sending are actually getting jammed in the line for several hours, or even a number of emails fail to get delivered on the whole to their end targets. If this trouble is what occurring to individuals then they are required to take into consideration the up gradation to the latest level of email software accessible commercially. Among other obtainable ones, SMTP relay server is a major piece of the system of the electronic mail marketing.
Causes of the importance of this server
The mail transfer agent or MTA agent or the SMTP server is actually the engine to carry out the system of emailing and send the mass electronic emails. This server actually accepts generated electronic mail from the email promotion application, decides what the domains of electronic mail distribute it to, plus gives the transportation and deliverance of those mails to the a variety of electronic message domains on their list.
Without this SMTP relay server, the emails of any person do not insinuate it of their website. Imagine the mound of envelopes not delivered to the end targets which just park themselves on the desk since no post office is there in order to sort out along with delivering those to their ends. In the previous periods of the marketing through electronic mails while quantities of mails were much lesser, lots of individuals made use of their in-house electronic mail servers such as Exchange, or even made use of freely obtainable servers including Postfix, Microsoft IIS SMTP server or Sendmail.
But with the increment in the use of electronic mail for the purpose of marketing and increase of volumes the systems of in-house email began to break down and freely obtainable Simple mail transfer protocol servers became incapable to sufficiently deal with the deliverance challenges regarding bulk emails.

Giving up has been a subject heavy on my mind lately. If you think about it, what does giving up accomplish? Showing everyone that you're weak? When you give up, you let someone else win. You let someone else have the satisfaction of knowing that you aren't going anywhere.
There are so many people out there capable of changing the world; so many people capable of making the world a better place. Unfortunately, there are also so many people trying to drag others down. I want every one of you to make a stand for yourself. Don't let someone else drag you down.
I want to make the world a better place and I want to start by having everybody be exactly who they are. Don't change to "fit in."
I want you to stand out. I want your personality to shine through in everything you do! When you change yourself, you are hiding. If you are not yourself, the world is missing out on something wonderful.
Every person has something special to offer this world. When we all join in together and help each other succeed, we could change the world one tiny step at a time.
So please, take my hand, and start making a difference today. Keep a smile on your face, and let people know how special they are.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD/NBC) - Doug Kuiphoff and his family, including his autistic son Robert and his "Paws with a Cause" service dog Brice, planned a day at the zoo Sunday for Robert's birthday when officials turned away Brice.
When the family got to the gates at Lansing's Potter Park Zoo, they found Brice was not welcome unless they could answer a number of questions and produce a lot of paperwork.
"We have to be able to verify that his health record is current or we can't let him into the park. You'll have to leave him out in your vehicle." Kuiphoff said he was told by a gate attendant.
All of which is apparently illegal under federal and state law.

Doug Morrison
Hal Wick
Following two weeks of hullaballoo over a policy change involving the Pledge of Allegiance, the Sioux Falls School Board will consider revising its policy to require high school students to say the pledge daily.
School Board President Doug Morrison said Friday the board will consider the revision during its regular meeting Monday.
The board contacted 10,000 parents and guardians in the district earlier this week, Morrison said, and asked them their thoughts on the districts policy on the Pledge, which now requires it to be recited daily in elementary and middle schools, but not daily in high schools. It is said during group activities or assemblies of the entire student body and has not been said regularly in decades.
Morrison told Fox News Friday night the board received 3,500 responses to the survey, and more than 70 percent of the responses were in favor of requiring the pledge to be said daily in the high school.
We put a man on the moon, we can certainly find the time in the school day to be able to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Morrison told Foxs Megyn Kelly.
Morrison said because there wasnt much feedback about the proposed policy revision, the board opted to keep the high school policy the way it was.
In our mind, we didnt want to force our own personal opinion on policy, he said.
The decision upset some veterans, and local and national TV news reports have framed board members as unpatriotic. Board members have fielded a barrage of menacing phone calls, including death threats from out of state.
The school boards recent change added middle schools as a matter of written policy. Middle school students already had been saying the pledge daily, school officials said. The change was to make written policy consistent with practice in the schools.
The issue became distorted and inflamed, however, after KELO-TV, which did not have a reporter at the school board meeting, reported that the board had voted to end the practice of saying the Pledge in high school. Fox News then picked up on that, and the inaccurate story stirred passions nationally. The Fox News story also referred to something called Sioux Falls High School.
Area veteran Jim Boorman had pushed the board to go further and require the Pledge for high school students. School board members said it was not feasible to find a consistent time to say the Pledge daily at the high school level, and it was more meaningful during assemblies of the student body.
Being a veteran, the respect that the veterans deserve is important to me, Boorman told Kelly on Friday. Even more important to me is the respect of the Pledge of Allegiance and the respect our country and our flag receives, but my concerns go much deeper than that. Its the future of our country.
Boorman said he is concerned about todays students.
If they dont understand where our country has come from, if they dont understand how weve gotten to where we are, if they dont understand the high cost for freedom, then how are they going to lead our future country? he said.
Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, recently announced he intends to propose legislation that probably would require that schools make time for students to say the Pledge every day.
Wick said on the Fox program Friday that his concern goes beyond Sioux Falls, and he wants to ensure all schools at all levels make time for the pledge.

Location: Hard Winter Wheat Genetics Research Unit
2012 Annual Report
In order to produce commercially competitive varieties of the future, new stem rust resistance genes must be incorporated into a forward breeding program. In addition, a backcross breeding program is required both for parent-building and as a hedge if commercially acceptable resistant varieties are needed in the short term. Rapid breeding methods, such as doubled haploids, will be needed to achieve results as quickly as possible.
Phenotypic selection for resistance using common North American races will be difficult in most backgrounds due to the high frequency of endemic stem rust resistance genes. Therefore, marker-assisted selection for new resistance genes will be necessary. Molecular markers are available or under development for virtually all new sources of stem rust resistance. Marker genotypes will be generated locally or in a high throughput facility at the USDA-ARS Regional Small Grains Genotyping Laboratory in Manhattan, KS. Resistance of advanced lines against African races of stem rust will be confirmed by field testing at cooperative research facilities in Kenya or at the USDA-ARS Cereal Disease Laboratory. Testing for agronomic traits, yield, and quality will be performed as usual by the breeding program.
We were successful in evaluating 155 advanced breeding lines for resistance to stem rust in replicated greenhouse and field nurseries trials in South Dakota and Texas. In addition, crosses between adapted SD winter wheat varieties and breeding lines were initiated with new sources of resistance to Ug99. The new sources are represented by Th. ponticum chromosome addition and substitution lines identified by Dr. Stephen Xu, USDA-ARS, Fargo, North Dakota.
Major accomplishments over the life of the project include;.
We expect to continue to select and advance SD adapted winter wheat breeding lines with superior resistance to prevalent regional races of stem rust and to develop new lines and varieties with new sources of resistance to Ug99.

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G hits T-Mobile for $150 in March
updated 05:00 am EST, Wed February 22, 2012
Samsung Galaxy S Blaze launched ahead of WMC
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze, first teased in early January has been confirmed by T-Mobile to be landing on the network in 'late March' for $150 on a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate is applied. The device is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. It supports 42Mbps HSPA+ speeds, which T-Mobile claims is faster than the average home Internet2 broadband connected to a home.
The Galaxy S Blaze centers on a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and sports a 5-megapixel rear camera that shoots video at up to 720p, with a 1.3 front-facing camera for video chatting. While it boats a respectable set of hardware specs, the only real disappointment for users is that it will ship with the superseded Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS with no word on when it might be updated to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
The Galaxy S Blaze 4G announcement arrives just ahead of World Mobile Congress next week, where it is likely to be put into the shade by a range of smartphones running ICS, with some expected to sport NVIDIA's Tegra 3 quad-core processor. The early discounted offer makes the device attractive for cost-conscious buyers in the market for decent performance; however, while it is likely to receive and ICS update, Android makers including Samsung seem unable to push fast OS upgrades to devices despite promises to the contrary.

1. My question is really stupid to warrant an answer.
2. My question is too sophisticated for a straightforward answer.
In any case - I am still stuck with this issue. If there is any more information that I could give here, please let me know!

Since it's weblogic.jar.classpath property that you're referring to in your call, it's not going to be able to find the class it needs. You'll need to investigate why weblogic.jar.classpath isn't being set.
I think you still need to resolve this.
