Q: My Zebra R110Xi only prints half way down the label, what is causing this?
A: If your Zebra R110Xi does not fill the entire label it could mean that your printer is not fully calibrated, or that your driver settings are not set properly for the label size you are using. To calibrate your printer see: How to calibrate a Zebra R110Xi. SimplyRFiD recommends that you use a Generic/Text driver with your printer to allow On-Demand to make all the adjustments for you, but if you are using the Zebra printer driver you should follow these instructions to adjust your label length.

A predominantly Latino San Fernando Valley School has voted to change its name to honor First Lady Michelle Obama.
The Valley Region Elementary School No. 13 school name change came after the Los Angeles Unified board (LAUSD) voted unanimously this week for the change.
"This name was selected by the school-site council because Michelle Obama supports active living and eating healthy, and the school models itself on that," said LAUSD board member Nury Martinez to the Pasadena Star News.
The $23 million school was opened last year to relieve overcrowding in the nearby schools of Burton, Nobel, Panorama City, and Valerio elementary schools.
The student body is very diverse made up of 5 ethnicities. The largest ethnic group are Latinos which represent 91% of the student body followed by African-American, Asian and Fillipino students. The majority of students (52%) are English learners with nearly all families socio-economically disadvantaged according to official school demographics.

"Differ a little bit" doesn't really help much. How do they differ? Exactly.

Rahul Divedi wrote:Please look at both the files for the complete differences...
No, you tell us. Presumably this isn't the only piece of HTML that needs to be converted, so there must be some rules involved. What are they?
To be honest, if you list them out, it'll probably be a major step in working out a solution.
Rahul Divedi wrote:Yes this is not the only piece of HTML, there are more files but all of them have same structure. These are the files containing some quiz questions, so in the sample code I have included only one question while there can be many. First difference between the source and desired HTML files is the 'Javascripts'. I have copied those Javascripts from package B to A, which were not present there and now those 3 Javascripts should be included in the desired HTML file and one javascript has to be excluded from the source file. This remains true for all the HTML files and not affected by the number of questions in the quiz.
Second difference is the desired HTML Body tag should be like  while in the source it is like .
Third difference is there is a Form tag <form name="quizForm8" id="quizForm8" action="javascript:calcScore2();"> in the desired one, which is not there in the source (action event is important).
Fourth one is <input type="radio" name="option1b12" id="true1b12" onclick="getFeedback(0,2,'1b12','truefalse')"/> , here I need to eliminate this onclick event.
Last one is that there should be a submit button in the desired file. <input type="submit" name="submitB" value="SUBMIT ANSWERS"/>

</form>
These rules remain same for all the HTML files.
Paul Clapham wrote:Well, fortunately your HTML is actually XHTML (at least the first couple of lines claim it is), so you should be able to use XSLT.
If your goal is a transformation which leaves the document basically the same except for a few modifications, then what you should do is to start with the identity transformation and add some templates which do those modifications. Your requirement to change the  element, for example: you need a template which handles a  element by writing out a revised  element and calling xsl:apply-template for its contents.
And don't forget that all of your elements are in a namespace. Don't make the mistake of treating them as if they aren't. Declare the "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" namespace with a prefix and use that prefix in your XSLT.
Winston Gutkowski wrote:
Right. Now we have something to work with. Personally, I'd look at a solution based on a simple parser like Sax. That way you can look for tags by name and simply replace the attributes or contents as you need. The alternative (which I wouldn't recommend), is simply to treat the whole thing as a big String edit: read the file into a big String, replace whatever contents you need, and then write it out again.
The first will take a bit more work (including possible conversion to XHTML), but it's a lot more generic, so if you have any files with the same basic content but slightly different format (different tag order perhaps), the changes should still work. It's also good practise.

Mississippi State quarterback Tyler Russell (17) throws despite the defense of Alabama linebacker Adrian Hubbard (42) during the first half of Saturday's game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. No. 1 Alabama will play No. 5 Louisiana State this Saturday in Baton Rouge.
- Filed Under
BATON ROUGE -- Like many Louisiana State football fans, head coach Les Miles spent his Saturday night watching the Alabama-Mississippi State football game on ESPN.
The result was what the Tiger Nation wanted as the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the No. 12 Mississippi State Bulldogs, 38-7, to stay undefeated and top ranked. This will help LSU's rankings should the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 SEC) upset the Tide this Saturday. Alabama is a nine-point favorite to beat the No. 5 Tigers at 7 p.m. on CBS in Tiger Stadium.

Brian Nicholson, Deseret News
Maybe you've heard the debates on talk radio or seen the e-mail blasts, arriving with increasing urgency as people take sides over Arizona's new immigration law.
You can hardly turn on your computer without tripping over statistics like these: "Every day, illegal aliens murder 12 Americans" and "$200 billion a year in suppressed American wages are caused by illegal aliens."
Or you may have heard some of these claims: "Illegal immigrants cause most of the crime and drug problems here. They don't pay taxes. They crowd our schools."
With immigration reform on the horizon, the Deseret News set out to see if we could confirm or debunk what's being said. Try to get to the bottom of the data, though, and you often find yourself going in circles, finding figures quoted and requoted with no actual source. There are conflicting studies that lump together illegal and legal immigrants without distinguishing between the two. There are reports with outdated numbers and sometimes no real numbers at all. There are government reports, academic studies and statements by groups that have a clear agenda, either for or against illegal immigrants. The claims can inflame the debate, even though many make no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants and aim vitriol at anyone of Hispanic descent. Others have little to no basis in reality. And yet, some of the claims and statistics regarding immigration are driving the push for reform and could end up influencing legislation and the fate of tens of thousands of Utahns and millions of Americans.
So how much of what is being said is fact, and how much is fiction?
Here's what we found.
WHAT YOU HEAR: Illegal immigrants cause most local crime, crowding prisons.
WHAT WE FOUND: A just-completed study seems to refute that and show how wrong perceptions by whites can be. It was conducted by the Consortium for Police Leadership in Equity and looked at crime by all Hispanics in Salt Lake City over five years. It did not single out those who are illegal immigrants.
That study found that whites thought Latinos caused about half of local drug crime. In reality, they caused 27 percent, less than expected, given they account for 28 percent of the city's population. It did not single out those who are here illegally.
Whites also thought Latinos caused about half of all violent crime. Data showed that they actually caused about 26 percent of it.
Whites blamed Latinos for just over a third of all identity theft, figuring illegals use stolen Social Security numbers to work. The study said Latinos are responsible for 17 percent of identity theft.
Again, those numbers are for all Hispanics, not just illegal immigrants. Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank has suggested looking at prison populations to figure how many criminals are undocumented aliens.
U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics data show that in 2008, about 4 percent of prisoners in Utah were illegal immigrants — about the same percentage as in the overall population. In 2007, about 3.6 percent of prisoners were undocumented.
Meanwhile, many specific claims about illegal aliens and crime on the Internet seem to lack credible sources. Such claims include that 12 Americans are killed each day by an illegal immigrant, 13 Americans are killed every day by uninsured drunken illegal immigrant drivers and "nearly one million sex crimes" have been committed by illegal immigrants in America.
Often cited as a source for "12 Americans killed each day by illegals" is a 2006 letter from Rep. Steve King of Iowa in which he makes this claim but cites no source.
King's letter is also quoted as a source for the claim that 13 Americans killed each day by illegal immigrants driving drunk. It quoted an article in WorldNetDaily.com, which says a AAA Foundation for Traffic study "found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license."

Best Appointed to Board of Ed
Dr. Shelley Best, the President and CEO of The Conference of Churches, has been appointed to the Board of Education by Mayor Segarra.
The mayor has also announced today that he has selected current appointed board member Rich Wareing to serve as its Chair.
City Council and the Board of Education will need to confirm these appointments.

I didn't realize that the Mayor had the power to appoint the board chair. I always thought that was the decision of the body.

If you're into healthy living, then you undoubtedly know that there's a bit of a war going on between endurance athletes and CrossFit/HIIT athletes. And as I've mentioned before, this drives me crazy. Mostly my annoyance stems from the fact that anyone feels the need to judge others for the method of staying fit they choose. As long as people are getting of the couch, that's great in my book.
My second complaint with this anti-CrossFit/anti-endurance sport attitude is that I really don't think they have to be mutually exclusive of one another, if you don't want them to be. I've followed Jess at Blonde Ponytail, Kovas at Midwest Multisport, and Tasha at Healthy Diva, among others, who are all great examples of people who are combining the two schools of thought into one fit athlete.
Lately I've done my own experimenting with CrossFit and marathon training. I bought a Living Social deal a few months back for a local CrossFit box, along with a couple of friends. By the time our schedules all meshed and we could get started, it was the beginning of January, which also happened to be when I started ramping up the miles and speedwork for my March marathon. Perhaps as silly a time as I could find to embark on a new strength training regimen, but I didn't want to wait any longer.
My findings? I think you can do both marathon training and CrossFit, as long as you let one take the bigger priority. In my case, of course, marathon training is number one on the list. CrossFit, for me, is a way to gain some muscle, work on weaknesses, and thus enhance my running.
With this being the case, I am going to CrossFit just two times per week. I aim to do it on the same days I do speedwork so that my easier run days are truly easy days. It helps that I know I am one limited chick when it comes to CrossFit style training, and I check my ego right at the door when I walk in. I don't have a competitive bone in my body with CrossFit, so I am focusing on technique and not pushing myself to any point where I might invite injury. So far, I am really liking it.
My 30-day Living Social deal will come to an end before long, and as much as I have enjoyed CrossFit, I won't be joining on at regular prices. I'd love to, honestly, but we already belong to an amazing gym system that we'll never leave (I need a pool and Mr. Z. needs his basketball courts), so I can't justify the extra expense. I am, however, considering investing in a few key pieces of equipment and setting up a CrossFit shop at home, then grabbing the WODs online each week.
So that's how it's gone down for me. We are all an experiment of one–what works for me isn't going to work for you. But let's get over ourselves and not judge each other for our approaches–what do you say?

As the June 2013 presidential election in Iran draws near, it appears there is an effort underway to rekindle a national debate about the regime's legitimacy. This effort, led by senior opposition figures pushing for clarification on the legal status of Green Movement leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi, and Zahra Rahnavard, under house arrest since February of 2011, has prompted a series of harsh reactions from regime officials. These reactions have, in effect, been a redrawing of the regime's political redlines and a reemphasis of the fact that the world of Iranian politics has been closed permanently to the Green Movement. If the Green Movement's supporters are, indeed, able to refocus the public's attention on the national trauma that was the 2009 protests, this simmering conflict has the potential to undermine the perceived legitimacy of the 2013 election. However, the regime has moved quickly to stifle the opposition's efforts, and it is yet unclear the extent to which the Green Movement is willing or able to reengage their obstinate opponent.
The opposition launched this recent effort in earnest in early December 2012. Fatemeh Karroubi, wife of Green Movement leader Mehdi Karroubi, told a reporter on December 10, "it is not clear whether [Karroubi, Mousavi, and Rahnavard] are prisoners, detainees or under house arrest." She then called on the regime to "clarify their situation" and bring their case before a court "so that we can know how long our prisoners will remain [in detention]." That same day former president and outspoken reformist Mohammad Khatami expressed his concern for the health of these three individuals, and said, "We trust that we will soon witness their release, as well as an opening in [the country's] economic, political, and cultural space, which is to the benefit of all; the government, the people, and all those who love the nation and the revolution." Khatami's remarks take on added significance when one considers that some had speculated he may be allowed to return to politics and, perhaps, to even run for president. His statement, therefore, is more than just a call for the release of political prisoners, in itself a bold move; it is a clarification of his current political orientation, and he very clearly aligned himself with the Green Movement. Also worth noting, as it was surely noted by the regime, is that Karroubi and Khatami both made their statements on Iran's Student Day, an annual event commemorating the death of three students during anti-American protests in 1953, and a day on which anti-government protests have occurred previously.
The regime's response to the opposition was decisive and unequivocal. Their first order of business was to preempt any debate on the possibility of the Green Movement's reentry into politics. Hossein Shariatmadari, the supreme leader's representative to, and editor in chief of, Kayhan, a publication widely seen as Khamenei's unofficial organ, published an editorial on December 22 in which he harshly criticized the "sedition" (a term used to refer to the Green Movement and its supporters) and rejected the possibility of their return to politics:
Those who were active in the American-Israeli sedition of [2009], or who supported the seditionists…have no doubt that their participation in the upcoming elections, or any other election, is impossible. This is because they openly committed treason and crimes as the 'fifth column' in service of the American, British, and Israeli triangle…. Why is it that those who claim reform, but clearly know that there is not even the slightest possibility for their nomination in the eleventh presidential election, are setting conditions for their participation in, or boycott of, elections?

Iranian authorities first arrested Shiva Nazar Ahari in 2001, when she was seventeen. Her 'crime' was attending a candlelight vigil in Tehran that commemorated the victims of 9/11.
There is only one thing that terrifies Washington's foreign policy establishment more than the prospect of an American airstrike against Iran's nuclear-weapons facilities: an Israeli airstrike. Left, right, and center, "sensible" people view the idea with alarm. Such an attack would, they say, do great damage to the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, where Tehran would counterattack, punishing "the Great Satan" (America) for the sins of "the Little Satan" (Israel).
Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former case officer with the CIA's clandestine service, lays out a compelling case for supporting Iran's Green Movement:
Nearly a year ago, the final seconds of Neda Agha Soltan's life flashed across computer screens worldwide. Peacefully protesting the controversial Iranian presidential elections of last year, 26-year old Neda was shot in the heart by a member of the para-governmental Basij militia. Her dying moments were captured on video by cell phones, and then circulated worldwide via YouTube and other websites.
An FPI event featuring Bill Kristol, Reuel Gerecht, Elliott Abrams, Danielle Pletka, Bob Kagan and others:
In the days preceding the thirty first anniversary of Iran's Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei threatened that Iran would deliver a "punch" to the West. Most observers assumed that this meant that Iran would launch several missiles, perhaps photoshopping in a few more for added effect, and call it a day. But February 11, 2010 may go down in history as the day Iran made its real intentions for its nuclear program known publicly, while the rest of the world exerted a collective yawn.
Reza Pahlavi learned an important lesson from Vaclav Havel: The Cold War opposition only thought they might be successful when Ronald Reagan called Russia an evil empire and triumphantly commanded Mr. Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. Pahlavi hopes Barack Obama speaks as definitively against to the Iranian regime -- he eagerly waits for the president of the United States to say, "Mr. Khomeini, tear down this wall!"
Iran's Supreme Leader raised some eyebrows yesterday, claiming that Tehran would deliver a "punch" that would leave Western powers "stunned."
Unlikely. Here's why:
On Saturday, January 23, the Iranian opposition community from the environs of the nation's capital gathered in a George Washington University auditorium. They were drawn to a ceremony that imported the idiom, if not the total experience, of the Green Movement against clerical tyranny in their native country.

What a long, stange trip it's been.
After an off-season spending spree which landed the Yankees another crop of overpaid free-agents and one month of actual baseball, we here in the New York Metro area are already arguing over the merits of GM Brian Cashman's acumen in bringing in stars such as Mark Teixiera, CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett (How long until A.J. drops the periods in his monicker ala CC? I say July). One can not turn on any sort of sports show without being bludgeoned by so called "die-hards" spewing his virtuous vitriol over how the Yankees need to rebuild instead of spend, put an end to their orgiastic spending and move back across the street into the old Stadium since opposing teams are hitting dingers into right field at an alarming pace.
Calm the H-E- DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS DOWN, PEOPLE.
Nothing makes me more mad than fans killing a team for a poor April performance; ready to slap the panic button and prematurely deeming the young season a failure. Let's break down the Yanks' major moves with a broader scope than 25 games, shall we?
Move #1: CC Sabathia
The argument: "Wow, we spent all this money on a guy who didn't want to be here, threw an extra year and $20 million at him to break his resolve, he came, and he stinks."
The reality: Has anyone ever watched Sabathia in April before? It hasn't been pretty, kids. In his career, CC has a 1.96 KO/BB rate per game in the months of March and April, with an opposing OBP of.337. This point is aimed at the fans who can not believe that he hasn't come in this season and struck out 15 batters per game, and that his control is not that what it once was, therefore confirming the fact that he's a bust. By September/October, however, his Ko/BB rate jumps to 3.36 and his opponents' OPS deflates to .279, while his BA against drops from .263 to .220 within that same span. Not to mention the fact that Sabathia is good for 220+ innings per year, will take the ball on short rest and is a devestating lefty option worthy of the "Ace" title bestowed upon him. I have no qualms about stating the fact that by the time the leaves begin to turn and we're all tired of summer, we Yankee fans will be dancing a dance and will be eating Quarter Pounders in reverence of the Bombers' new Hefty Lefty.
The Prediction: 16-8 with a whole pile of no-decsisions, 220+ strikeouts and the knowledge not to go eat too many falafels or beef-kababs after the games.
Move #2 : Mark Teixiera
The argument: "This guy is hitting .187 and all he has is warning track power in a home-run hitter's ballpark. He's too soft for New York."
The reality: If you've watched any film on this guy, you'd know that he's dropping his back shoulder every time he's swinging the bat. It's a mechanical issue, and balls that he would normally drive into the seats are dying on the warning track. Add that to the fact that he's not batting in front of Alex Rodriguez yet, and you will understand that he's seeing many less pitches to hit. As his .354 OBP shows, he is still getting his walks, as he already has 19 BB during this young season. As much as I like Nick Swisher, he's no A-Rod; I know that as soon as A-Rod starts batting behind Big Tex that Teixiera will be dealt a lot more pitches to hit, thereby raising every average one could come up with. Teixiera's Yankee inititation has already begun, with the boos raining down upon him loudly, I have no doubt those boos will turn to cheers within the next 30 days. Again, in March and April, Tex has a career average of .249/.349/.433 in the categories of BA, OBP and SLG in April. By September, those numbers balloon to .309/.392/.605 respectively. He'll be fine and I'm sure that he will heat up sooner than later.
The Prediction: .303 BA, 37 HR, 110 RBI
I'm not going to comment on A.J. Burnett or the forgotten move for Nick Swisher right now, as they are the subject of tomorrow's blog. The only point I really wanted to convey was that Yankee fans are quicker than most to dismiss the bigger picture than most other fans. Maybe it has to do with the 24 hour news cycle, maybe it has to do with the fact that New York is the largest media market in the country; either way, this short sample size of one month of baseball is in no way indicative of what the long term benefits will be by these two over the top free agent signings. Relax, have a cream soda and get back to me in July.
Tomorrow is another day, Yankee fans.

VBA error handling just got easier...
Let me introduce you to: vbWatchdog
" vbWatchdog is off the chart. It solves a long standing problem of how to consolidate error handling into one global location and avoid repetitious code within applications. "
- Joe Anderson, Microsoft Access MVP
Provided by Allen Browne, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Filter property of forms (introduced in Access 95) makes it easy to filter a form based on a control in the form. However, the simple filter cannot be used if the field you wish to filter on is not in the form.
You can achieve the same result by changing the RecordSource of the main form to an SQL statement with an INNER JOIN to the table containing the field you wish to filter on. If that sounds a mouthful, it is quite simple to do.
Before trying to filter on a field in the subform, review how filters are normally used within a form.
Take a Products form with a ProductCategory field. With an unbound combo in the form's header, you could provide a simple interface to filter products from one category. The combo would have these properties:
Now when the user selects any category in this combo, its AfterUpdate event procedure filters the form like this:
Private Sub cboShowCat_AfterUpdate()
If IsNull(Me.cboShowCat) Then
Me.FilterOn = False
Me.Filter = "ProductCatID = """ & Me.cboShowCat & """"
Me.FilterOn = True
End If
End Sub
You cannot use this simple approach if the field you wish to filter on is in the subform. For example, some products might have several suppliers. You need a subform for the various suppliers of the product in the main form. The database structure for this example involves three tables:
tblProduct, with ProductID as primary key.
The main form draws its records from tblProduct, and the subform from tblProductSupplier.
When a supplier sends a price update list, how do you filter your main form to only products from this supplier to facilitate changing all those prices? Remember, SupplierID exists only in the subform.
One solution is to change the RecordSource of your main form, using an INNER JOIN to get the equivalent of a filter. It is straightforward to create, and the user interface can be identical to the example above.
Here are the 2 simple steps to filter the main form to a selected supplier:
1. Add a combo to the header of the main form with these properties:
2. Click the build button (...) beside the AfterUpdate property. Paste this code between the Sub and End Sub lines:
Dim strSQL As String
If IsNull(Me.cboShowSup) Then
' If the combo is Null, use the whole table as the RecordSource.
Me.RecordSource = "tblProduct"
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCTROW tblProduct.* FROM tblProduct " & _
"INNER JOIN tblProductSupplier ON " & _
"tblProduct.ProductID = tblProductSupplier.ProductID " & _
"WHERE tblProductSupplier.SupplierID = " & Me.cboShowSup & ";"
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
End If
That's it! Although the SELECT statement does not return any fields from tblProductSupplier, the INNER JOIN limits the recordset to products that have an entry for the particular supplier, effectively filtering the products.
Even if you know nothing of SQL, you can create these strings easily in Access. Use Query Design view to create the query you want, and then copy the statement from SQL View and paste into your code.
When you change the RecordSource, Access turns the form's FilterOn property off. This means that if you use both the Filter and the change of RecordSource together, your code must save the filter state before changing the RecordSource and restore it.
Assume you have provided both the combos described above (cboShowCat and cboShowSup) on your main form. A user can now filter only products of a certain category and from a particular supplier. The AfterUpdate event procedure for cboShowSup must save and restore the filter state. Here is the complete code, with error handling.
Private Sub cboShowSup_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_cboShowSup_AfterUpdate
' Purpose: Change the form's RecordSource to only products from this supplier.
Dim sSQL As String
Dim bWasFilterOn As Boolean
' Save the FilterOn state. (It's lost during RecordSource change.)
bWasFilterOn = Me.FilterOn
' Change the RecordSource.
If IsNull(Me.cboShowSup) Then
If Me.RecordSource <> "tblProduct" Then
Me.RecordSource = "tblProduct"
End If
sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCTROW tblProduct.* FROM tblProduct " & _
"INNER JOIN tblProductSupplier ON " & _
"tblProduct.ProductID = tblProductSupplier.ProductID " & _
"WHERE tblProductSupplier.SupplierID = """ & Me.cboShowSup & """;"
Me.RecordSource = sSQL
End If
' Apply the filter again, if it was on.
If bWasFilterOn And Not Me.FilterOn Then
Me.FilterOn = True
End If
Exit Sub
MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, vbInformation, & _
Me.Module.Name & ".cboShowSup_AfterUpdate"
Resume Exit_cboShowSup_AfterUpdate
End Sub
Note: For comparison, this example shows a text-based SupplierID, where the previous example assumed an AutoNumber type.

Extension:MobileFrontend/Configuring browser auto-detection
This document explains how a site admin can enable a mobile site for their mediawiki extension such that when a user visits the site from a mobile device they are automatically redirected to the mobile view rather than the desktop view.
Built-in autodetection[edit | edit source]
As of commit 5a1867e, MobileFrontend supports automatic device detection with minimal configuration. All you need to do is set:
$wgMFAutodetectMobileView = true;
in your LocalSettings.php. While this is the easiest method, it will almost certainly be the least performant. This solution is NOT compatible with front-end caching, as it provides no way for your cache to know the difference between a mobile view and a desktop view.
Apache Mobile Filter (AMF)[edit | edit source]
As of commit 0fb2c72d, MobileFrontend supports the Apache Mobile Filter (AMF) for device detection. You must be using the Apache webserver. Follow instructions for setup/configuration of AMF, and it should 'just work'. This functions very similarly to built-in auto detection, and will not be compatible with front-end caching without special configuration.
Webserver/proxy-cache device detection[edit | edit source]
Please [<tvarMore information might be found in a section of the [[<tvar|talk>Extension talk:MobileFrontend/Configuring browser auto-detection</>|talk page]].</translate>
MobileFrontend supports the usage of two separate domains for a mobile version and desktop version of the site, and this is the recommended approach. While more complicated to set up, it is ultimately easier to manage and to scale - particularly if you are using frontend caching. This way, you need to point both domains, mobile and desktop, to the same MediaWiki installation however set a custom header for requests coming from from the mobile domain.
For example, in Varnish:
sub vcl_recv { if (req.http.host == "<mobile domain>") { set req.http.host = "<desktop domain>"; set req.http.X-WAP = "no"; } }
Then, you will need to define your mobile domain by setting
$wgMobileUrlTemplate in LocalSettings.php.
The simplest, and likely most common, thing to do is to define a completely unique domain for your mobile site:
$wgMobileUrlTemplate = 'mobile.mydomain.com';
Or, if you use one configuration to manage multiple wikis, you could define a mobile domain template:
$wgMobileUrlTemplate = '%h0.m.%h1.%h2';
Where '%h<#>' maps to a segment of the hostname of
$wgServer. So, if
$wgServer = 'en.wikipedia.org';, %h0 is 'en', %h1 is 'wikipedia', %h2 is 'org'. Given this, the above
$wgMobileUrlTemplate will automatically interpolate your mobile URL as 'en.m.wikipedia.org'. This is particularly useful for the WMF and projects like Wikipedia, which follow a template of <lang code>.wikipedia.org, so the mobile domain will always look like <lang code>.m.wikipedia.org.

Specialized Care
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital offers a wide range of healthcare services including acute care, disease management and wellness programs.
Patient Testimonial
"We would like to thank the staff of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital for the compassionate and effective care given our son. When our son was rushed to the emergency room on a recent weekend, Dr. Kolm and Jen, the ER nurse saw to it he was diagnosed promptly.
When it was determined he needed emergency surgery, Dr. Evans and Dr. Hay, the Anesthesiologist, were called in the middle of the night from what must have been a sound sleep, the operating room prepped, and our son's surgery successfully performed.
While all this was very professionally coordinated, our son and ourselves were treated with much compassion and kindness from not only the medical staff, but the ER registration, who because the cafeteria was not yet open, assembled a care package for us and the lady in the cafeteria who single-handedly opened the cafeteria, cooked our breakfast and was also the cashier. This is even more remarkable given the tremendous constraints placed on our healthcare system these days.
The people in the Dover area should be proud of these people and are very fortunate to have them guarding their health."

Do you envision a seperate dialog for each eventuality or one dialog that has all the above information but is enabled differently depending on mode ?
Also in Max's book we start with a choice between local and remote on first dialog. I had been doing this too. But do I take it now that this dialog doesn't make sense given that the flag you pass has already decided this for you ?
i see that the monkhouse book is not released yet on amazon - when is it out?
re: "All configuration must be done via a GUI, and must be persistent between runs of the program. Such configuration information must be stored in a file called suncertify.properties which must be located in the current working directory." -- still confused - what is this file for? Does it not exist until somebody has run the program for the first time, then it is written to? I don't understand its purpose. Why not just have user enter db location/port each time they run the program?

New Zealand Embassy Washington, United States of America
Prime Minister John Key visits Washington, DC
Prime Minister John Key visited Washington, DC from 18 to 20 June, where he undertook a packed programme of meetings with members of the Cabinet, Congress, senior figures in the trade and economic sphere, and engaged with the business community on TPP. The visit cultimated in an hour-long meeting at the White House with the President of the United States Barack Obama.
The Oval Office meeting reaffirmed the strength of the strategic partnership between New Zealand and the United States. President Obama summed this up in his public comments following the meeting:
"I think it's fair to say that the U.S.-New Zealand relationship has never been stronger. We share values, we have enormously strong people-to-people relationships, we have excellent commercial ties, and we have increasing consultations and relationships between our militaries."
Prime Minister Key began his visit to Washington at the New Zealand Embassy giving remarks at Pacific Day alongside US Secretary of State John Kerry. Pacific Day is a major event on the Washington calendar. Climate Change, Oceans, renewable energy and fisheries featured in this year's discussions.
The Prime Minister's strong speech to the Chamber of Commerce on TPP was a highlight and has received positive feedback from TPP supporters around Washington. Meetings with members of the Cabinet and Congress provided useful opportunities for high level read-outs on the US recovery and an opportunity to discuss the New Zealand economic story.
While in Washington the Prime Minister also met with a range of senior Administration figures and Congressional representatives including:
- United States Trade Representative Ambassador Mike Froman
- Secretary of State John Kerry
- Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel
- Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew
- Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Janet Yellen
- Senators including Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
- Director of the National Economic Council and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy Jeffrey Zients

Where does Marzocchi want to go?
Making a difference means investing in innovation.
It's in our blood. We were born to ride. Since 1949, every mountain bike or motor bike product we have built has come from our passion for two wheelers.
We at Marzocchi are passionate about bikes. Our single objective is to design the most sophisticated, high tech suspension products for the ultimate riding experience.
Despite the crisis that hit the two-wheeler world in 2008, and from which we are still feeling the effects, Marzocchi has continued to invest in research, development and marketing.
The results are evident: Just think about the new aluminum USD 50 light on the Ducati Panigale 1198 (awarded best motorbike at the recent EICMA show in Milan), or the 888 RC3 EVO V2 Titanium – the queen of downhill included in Dirt 100.
Where does Marzocchi want to go? We want to go on riding. We all know that making the distance requires training and sweat – particularly in the current economic environment. We have plans for facing the challenges of succeeding in the future, despite the difficult times we face today.
Hard times require even harder work. But we believe that Italian design can still make a difference in a global market.
Making a difference means investing in innovation.
Marzocchi's heart is still beating.
We're riding on with the same passion and love for bikes as we have for the last 62 years.

Targeted Resumes – How to target your resume to the job you want
1. Determine what you are trying to achieve.
Make sure you have a clear objective in mind. The hiring managers are too busy trying to figure out what you want to achieve.
Write a general one size fits all does not resume court in the competitive job market. You must make an effort to stand apart from all others.
If you do not know what he wants done, and STOP to this. You can not create a stunning, knock-your-socks-off resume without a goal. If you are struggling with this, get help from someone to brainstorm with you.
2. Know the keywords that the industry is "hot" in their professional field and put them into their curriculum.
Why do this? Because more and more companies are using automated databases to store resumes. When you need to hire someone, they are potential candidates using keyword phrases (such as type of search on Google using a keyword). If you're using the right keywords, your resume will be included in the top contenders.
You can find the keyword phrases for search Monster.com or hotjobs.com for the job you want to apply a. Read more ads from all regions of the province and look for the qualifications and duties.
For example, I watched "executive assistant" and found the following phrases that seemed to be repeating:
"Microsoft office"
"Setting appointments"
"travel arrangements"
"correspondence, presentations and reports"
"Preparing and editing PowerPoint presentations executive"
"arranging travel, scheduling meetings"
"preparing high quality presentations and reports"
"master-level experts in the ability of MS Office"
As you can see, the emphasis in the programs of MS Office, programming, and presentations. So you must include these words in your resume.
3. Always include a letter detailing the exact position you are interested, which saw the job advertised and why you are interested, not only that you are interested.
Doing this will automatically make you stand apart from everyone else and make it clear to the hiring manager you have to offer and what you're looking for.

Seriously, what is it about Terrell Owens?
From NFL.com
According to Terrell Owens, he is no longer a member of the Seattle Seahawks.
The 38-year-old receiver spread the news via Twitter on Sunday:
I'm no longer a Seahawk. I THANK the organization 4 the opportunity, I'm truly blessed beyond belief. My FAITH is intact & will NOT waiver.
Owens failed to separate himself from Braylon Edwards and the rest of Seattle's receiving group.
Outside of a beautiful circus catch against the Chiefs on Friday, Owens didn't look like a serious candidate to make Seattle's roster after three subpar preseason games. He was toyed with by defenders and we saw him drop too many catchable balls. He still has the speed — he still looks 25 — but something was missing.
It's been a wild year for Owens, but this likely ends the football portion of 2012 for the long-time veteran.
H/T to Mr. Will

Long time readers of Edwize may recall that on a number of different occasions, we have written about how the UFT and Randi Weingarten have reached out, in public and in private, to the charter school community in New York. [The discussion is summarized here.] We offered to support an increase in the cap of charter schools for New York City, provided that it was accompanied by labor rights for teachers working in charter schools, so that they could freely choose to be represented by a union. We even suggested ways in which charter school issues such as full funding could be addressed.
If lifting the cap was truly the objective of charter school advocates, here was a path for how it could be achieved — and it was a path laid out in public, so there would be no turning back. All that we required in return was that teachers in charter schools have the ability to exercise the right guaranteed in the first article of the New York State Constitution — to organize into a union and bargain collectively. Here in New York City, we have seen charter school teachers fired for discussing such matters as salary and missing pension contributions, and we have seen charter schools where an entire faculty had signed up to join the UFT one Spring, only to be "union cleansed" the following Fall. That is not acceptable in a state that proclaims the inviolability of labor rights in its Constitution, much less in a free and democratic society.
Our offer had the virtue of putting the question into a form where the response of charter school advocates would make it clear what their true objective is — the lifting of the cap on charter schools, or the power to run non-union schools, supported with public money, where teachers work "at will" and can be fired on the whim of The Man in charge.
Many of us on the teacher union side hoped against hope that New York charter school advocates were men and women of their public word, but we have been sorely disappointed by those who control NYCSA. These days it is not possible to read the puerile, tabloid prose of the New York Charter School Association blog, The Chalkboard, without being hit over the head by the message that their prime objective is charter schools where management exercises absolute power over teachers, that labor rights must be avoided at all costs. Lifting the charter school cap clearly comes in second, a goal only worth achieving if it can be done on NYCSA's terms — schools where teachers have no labor rights.
The story here, like that in all too much of American public life, is one of the corrupting power of money and the undue influence of those with large amounts of it. Three significant, rather flush entities of the anti-union, far right wing — the Walton Family Foundation of Wal-Mart fame, a network of foundations and corporations connected to the corporate raider and junk bond dealer Carl Icahn, and a network of foundations and corporations connected to ultra-conservative Richard Gilder — give massive amounts of money to NYCSA, to allied organizations and to their political campaigns. [Closely connected to Gilder in his charter school advocacy and political work is the Hickory Foundation of Virginia Manheimer, Gilder's former wife.]
Between 2000 and 2004, the Walton Family foundation and the Gilder Foundation gave over $900,000 to NYCSA. Over the same period of time, the two foundations gave over $1.5 million to the New York Charter School Resource Center, an organization that has shared the same address and a number of the same principals [most prominently, Gerardo Vasquez and Peter Murphy, a particularly venomous foe of teacher voice and teacher unions] as NYCSA. Walton and Gilder also give large sums of money to other foundations, such as the Robin Hood Foundation, which in turns funded charter school activities in New York and elsewhere. Icahn sponsors his own charter school in New York, and funds it and campaigns of New York charter school advocates.
According to tax returns and corporate filings, NYCSA shares a single address [Four Chelsea Place in Clifton, NY] not only with the Charter Resource Center, but also with the Foundation for Education Reform and Accountability [FERA], the Brighter Choice Foundation, and the School Choice Scholarships Foundation.
FERA is the successor to the ultra-conservative Empire Foundation and is part of the right-wing State Policy Network, a coordinating body of anti-union right wing state foundations. It was an affiliate of CHANGE-NY, a now defunct anti-tax, hard right wing umbrella group in New York. FERA's 2004 tax return includes a $200,000 contribution from the Gilder Foundation [Richard Gilder and Virginia Manheimer sit on the FERA board] and a $170,000 contribution from the Charter Resource Center. FERA President Thomas Carroll, often in the news with attacks on teacher unions and on labor rights for teachers in charter schools, is also the founder and chairman of the Brighter Choice Charter Schools. Caroll and Gilder sit together on the board of School Choice Scholarships Foundation.
And there's more. Roger Hertog, publisher and financier of the New York Sun, also sits on the board of School Choice Scholarships Foundation. [Now you know why Carroll's byline appears regularly in the Sun, and why the Sun editorialized that the UFT's two charter schools should be closed down, simply because we wouldn't agree to an increase in the charter cap without accompanying labor rights — so much for caring about creating good schools for kids.] Hertog, Manheimer and Brian Backstrom [Charter School Resource Center Treasurer, FERA Vice-President and Brighter Choice Foundation Vice-President] all join Gilder in the Club for Growth, a national anti-union policy organization dedicated to laissez-faire economic principles.
He who pays the piper calls the tunes, and the anti-union troika of Walton-Gilder-Icahn has NYCSA and its allied organizations doing their bidding. NYCSA is completely bought and paid for. The anti-union, right wing economic agenda comes first, and charter schools and the students their serve come in a poor second.
It was this anti-union agenda that led NYCSA to play a central role in facilitating the introduction of the notorious union-busting law firm, Jackson, Lewis and its Atlantic Legal Foundation, to New York charter schools. In the past, Edwize wrote extensively about an Atlantic Legal Foundation conference specifically organized for New York Charter Schools on the subject of union busting; in addition to helping facilitate this conference, NYCSA has had the Atlantic Legal Foundation sponsor workshops at its annual conference.
Desperate to make a case — any case — against labor rights for charter school teachers, Chalkboard, the NYCSA blog, has now twice referred to events in Broward County, Florida. In fact, the events in Broward prove exactly the opposite of what the Chalkboard claims. The local teachers' union signed up a majority of the teachers at the seven Pembroke Pines Charter Schools, only to have the County Commissioners renege on an agreement to recognize the union as the collective bargaining agent once a majority of teachers signed authorization cards. The ostensible reason? The wording on the card was "ambiguous," so teachers did not understand what they were signing. Once the teachers were signed up, a full court pressure campaign was launched to stop union recognition, and a couple of teachers were pressured into endorsing this claim.
There's only one problem with this scenario: teacher unions don't get to put any old deceptive wording on an authorization card — this is an area of labor law which is tightly regulated by the government, precisely so there is no question about the intentions of the individuals who sign them. And because the signers were teachers, we are talking about individuals who have, at a minimum, a four year college degree. To believe the story of teachers being misled told by the Chalkboard and the usual anti-union forces [Michael Antonucci of EIA and the State Policy Network, to which FERA is affiliated], you would have to start from the premise that college graduate charter school teachers are unable to comprehend the most straightforward and simple written English.
What we have in the Pembroke Pines Charter Schools is precisely the problem that has led American workers to increasingly turn to 'card check recognition' in union organizing drives. Rather than recognize unions once workers have indicated their desire to have one, anti-union employers engage in long, drawn out campaigns to destroy the union that go on for years, with the introduction of professional union busting operations that refuse to negotiate contracts, that harass and fire union leaders, that tie up union victories in elections with court challenges, and that use intimidation and pressure to coerce individual employees to withdraw their support for their unions. The New York Times article "Who Drove Out A Union? South Carolina Factory Provides a Textbook Case." [$] fully documented one particular vicious iteration of this sort of campaign by the very law firm that NYCSA brought into New York, Jackson, Lewis. Immediate recognition of the union in the Pembroke Pines Charter Schools would have made that sort of campaign impossible.
Being from New York, it is hard not to think of the old folk definition of chutzpah when reading The Chalkboard these days. Chutzpah, the saying goes, is exemplified by the defendant who kills his parents, and then begs the court's mercy because he is an orphan. If any blog fits that definition, it has to be NYCSA's Chalkboard. NYCSA puts itself in the pay of Walton, Icahn and Gilder, brings in notorious union busters like Jackson, Lewis and the Atlantic Legal Foundation, and then calls NYSUT a gorilla and a thug. They spurned the UFT's offer to fashion a compromise that would help charter schools, because they were intent upon forcing legislation that would continue to deny charter school teachers labor rights. Now that they have been turned back at that effort, not once but twice, the playground bullies with the bloody noses are telling everyone how they were victimized. Their tale evokes as much sympathy as Donald Rumsfeld's forced retirement from public life.
But there are real losers in this story — charter schools that understand their mission as serving needy kids, and that want to attract and retain the best teachers to that end. They are being terribly ill-served by a NYCSA that places an anti-union agenda of its funders and of dogmatic ultra-right ideologues like Carroll and Murphy above the needs of their students, their teachers and their schools. How long can they continue to let a NYCSA which is bought and paid for speak in their name?
I am indebted to the AFT's Ed Muir for much of the research cited in this piece.

see all DPSCS web features here
DPSCS partners with Cambridge and Romano Construction to give inmates tremendous job training and pedestrians safer streets
(June 29, 2012)---Thanks to a $370,000 grant from the MD Dept. of Housing and Community Development, Cambridge and DPSCS have entered into a unique partnership that is allowing inmates an invaluable opportunity: the chance to learn concrete work from experts as they help pedestrians negotiate streets that never before had sidewalks.
The historic Eastern Shore town of Cambridge now has sidewalks, curbs, and gutters along some of its streets thanks to this first-of-its-kind inmate labor effort. Romano Construction is so pleased with the inmates work ethic, its president says hed consider hiring the men when they get out.
The inmates are low-security men from Eastern Correctional Institution, the states largest prison. Theyre getting the chance to learn useful job skills and an actual trade while paying society back in a truly meaningful way---which is exactly the plan of DPSCS and its many restorative justice projects.
In late June, DPSCS Secretary Gary Maynard and other top DPSCS leaders joined the Cambridge mayor and town officials for a site visit. All were thrilled to see the progress---of both the men and the streets. So far, inmates have completed more than 2,000 linear feet of sidewalk, complete with ADA-compliant curb cuts, gutters, and drainage systems.
DPSCS appreciates Cambridge showing faith in our restorative justice effort, and looks forward to similar partnerships with other Maryland cities.

A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Dark-haired character actor Sam McMurray has made a career of playing gaseous windbags of low moral fiber, often adding a salacious sneer to heighten the effect.

Decentralization of Governance May Help Some Middle Eastern Countries in Turmoil
Although the world is focused on the military coup in Egypt, the accompanying repression of the supporters of the duly elected democratic government, and the real possibility of massive societal strife, another authoritarian government is busily taking its country down a similar road to civil war.
Iraqi President Nouri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite who was originally democratically elected but who has gradually accumulated power using extralegal means, is repressing Sunni opponents and is thus creating blowback in the form a rise in al Qaeda attacks on Shi'ite targets. The al Qaeda attacks have, in turn, resulted in a reconstitution of Shi'ite militias, a major perpetrator of sectarian violence that raged in Iraq in 2006 and 2007. Maliki has employed Shi'ite security forces disproportionately in Sunni areas, ordered the detention of Iraq's vice president and other Sunni leaders on trumped up charges, and is accused of arresting and torturing political adversaries en masse. Despite these autocratic moves, according to John Glaser of Antiwar.com, the United States approved of the attempt to arrest the vice president and continues to slather the Iraqi government with even more aid than it gives Egypt.
It is tempting to conclude that if Maliki had been more inclusive in his governing style, violence would not be spiking, sparking renewed fears of all-out sectarian warfare. Similarly, in Egypt, the U.S. government soft-pedaled the coup by saying that Mohammed Morsi, the elected president from the Muslim Brotherhood, was not inclusive in his governing style. The United States seems to be using a double standard here, since in the US system, one party in a two-party system wins the election, the other loses the election, and no grand coalition is ever formed between the two parties. The problem in both Iraq and Egypt is not that their elected rulers didn't include every societal group in the government and let them sing kum ba ya, it is that they don't have a culture of political tolerance that will yet allow liberal democracy and the rule of law to take root. Inclusion in government is less important than the government's respect for minority rights and than the losers of the election waiting to compete in the next one rather than resorting to violence to attempt a coup.
The hard truth is that at this juncture, these countries, as currently configured on a map, may be ungovernable without authoritarian leaders to prevent anarchy. Yet unlike Egypt – in which the divisiveness is over whether the state should govern using religious principles or secular ones – the conflicts in Libya, Syria, and Iraq are more tribally based or ethno-sectarian in nature. The latter three may be more solvable without the need for a despot, elected or not, at the helm.
In Libya, instead of trying to strengthen the central government after the despotic Muammar Gaddafi's overthrow, perhaps instead the existing situation on the ground of many tribal militias governing certain local areas should simply be ratified. Such decentralized governance might prevent a civil war in which competing groups attempt to control a stronger government to prevent it from being used to oppress their group.
Syria and Iraq instead have ethno-sectarian groups, and much the same ones at that, but might also benefit from decentralizing governance – so that most or all governmental functions, including security and justice, would be handled locally. In Syria, the likely outcome of the brutal civil war may be a patchwork of areas held by different groups – Bashar al-Assad and the Alawites (an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam) might govern a corridor from Damascus to the coastal Alawite areas on the Mediterranean Sea, the Sunni rebels might govern in the northern and eastern parts of current Syria, and the Kurds may have their own autonomous area in the extreme northeast of the country.
To prevent such partitioning by fire, Iraq, which went to the brink of ethno-sectarian civil war in 2006 and 2007 and is heading that way again, might want to explore a voluntary, peaceful decentralization or partition. Governing locally allows security forces and the justice system to be provided by people of the same ethno-sectarian group, thus instilling more confidence in the governed population.
The international community – which includes many multi-tribal, ethnic, racial, or sectarian states – frowns on solutions that formally or implicitly break up states. Many have their own minorities that might be encouraged to break away. Thus, arguments are used that it's a form of apartheid or that boundaries cannot be drawn exactly and will always leave some unfortunate souls on the other side of the line. In South Africa, apartheid was forced separation using armed might of a minority against a majority. In Iraq and Libya, such decentralized governance would have to be voluntary and would reflect existing ethno-sectarian or tribal areas, respectively. Even in Syria, where such decentralized governance, or even partition, would reflect the realities of the civil war, the groups would eventually have to voluntarily ratify it in a peace settlement or continue fighting. Furthermore, the boundaries drawn between groups' areas don't have to be perfect. Research shows that groups tend to feud when a significantly large minority poses a threat to a majority, whereas minorities under 10-percent on the other side of a boundary line are more likely to live in peace with the majority.
Yet despite the international community's reluctance to allow devolved governance or partition, if the choice is moving to decentralized and autonomous governing authority or anarchy or civil war, the stability and peace of devolved governance should start to look much better.

Sure enough, let's destroy them, and then let them "decentralize", creating new feudalism that allows for empire to easily control them. This is acceting the "reality" of invasions and wars by proxy. And in Egypt religion has nothing to do with anything. In fact, the anti-Morsi protestors were 99% Salafists, who were convinced that Morsi was not — religious enough. Morsi did not allow Sharia legislation to be automatically approved, unless approved by Egypt's Sunni authority, Al-Azhar. Now, why would Salafis object to that? Because Salafis are loyal to Saudi Arabia allowing for only Sharia as interporeted by Saudi Wahhabis.
So, who exactly were the "islamists'? General Al-Sisi is Salafist. REAL Islamists are used to stage a coup, destroy all elected institutions, and now Mubarak's regime is being restored nationwide along with the rule of terror.

If these dead where cause by rebel action would Obama EU the Russians bomb the American/Gulf backed rebels?
They should.
Is anyone knowledgeable enough to understand the writer is promoting the policy of the US /Israel based on ODED YINON to erect "greater Israel"? He is openly promoting DIVIDE AND RULE. This person pretends does not know why we have destabilization and partition in the region. Iran is a modern state yet US/Israel are training Kurds, Arabs and Baloch to destabilize the country as they did in Libya and Syria. If Iran, China and Russia do the same, US will be divided into many pieces. I hope they try it soon. In Iraq the Saudi Arabia on behalf of the Israel and US is killing large number of people. This is policy of the US/Israel. Do you that ignorant not knowing this basic so writing about partitioning the regional states? or you on purpose promoting Oded Yinon to form public opinion? People get suspicious. Do According to Oded Yinon, the "New Middle East" beneficial to apartheid state will emerge through "Decentralization of Governance" that you promoting. I hope people who visit this page knowledgeable enough to reject your suggestion.
You were advocating PARTITION of the regional countries of the M.E to benefit Israel. This is Israel plan. Why are you promoting partition? Why this site is promoting US/Israel plan? Israel wants to break up Egypt too. Israelis are pushing for Kurdistan, Baluchistan, Berber, Qebtis Christian, Assyrian, and so on and so forth. Stop your propaganda at once. This propaganda was brought to you in May. http://original.antiwar.com/eland/2013/05/07/poli…
Don't you know that partition of Sudan was Israel's project for more than four decades? They want to partition Darfur as well, that's why we have so much blood shed. Please don't act like you don't know.
Israel/US are trying to change the Middle East map for the interest of ISRAEL through balkanization based on religious and ethnic divide. This bloody plan is based on Oded Yinon that aims to partition the regional states into mini state like Kosovo to be impotent against Israel. Oded Yinon strategy makes the partition of the Arab states essential for erection of "the greater Israel". To know about this issue please read the following: http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/853/op2.htm
Egypt and the Zionist plan of division :Oded Yinon's 1982 study entitled "A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s" is the most detailed account so far of the Zionist mindset; how it works and how it aspires to manage conflict with the Arab world in a way that leads to the creation of a dominant Jewish state in the region.

Caught on video: Police search for mall shoplifting suspects
SALEM, Ore. – Police are looking for two women suspected of shoplifting from stores in a Salem mall.
The two women carrying over-sized purses stole more than $1,000 worth of iPhone and iPad accessories from the Mac Store at the Lancaster Mall on Wednesday night, police said. They also stole items from the mall's Radio Shack, according to police.
Staff at both stores said the women came back on Friday.
"It's really frustrating," said Mac Store Manager Nick Zatta.
Zatta shared their surveillance video with KATU News. "They go to the wall here and they just pick out a couple things that they want."
The video shows the suspects selectively seeking out items that aren't tethered down.
"One of my associates walks by there, unfortunately, missing what had happened there," Zatta said.
The suspects got away despite triggering alarms when they left the store.
It's not just the Mac Store that suffers from these thefts, said Zatta. Customers will pay for them too, in the form of higher prices.
"We're a computer store. We have cameras everywhere, and they aren't wearing masks."
If you recognize the women in the surveillance video, you're asked to call Salem police.
"They're going to get caught in the end, so justice will be served," Zatta said. "They deserve to get what's coming to them."

As the late Lou Reed was to rock 'n' roll, Bertolt Brecht was to theater. Each used his art to take you inside the too often unexamined lives of common folk and outcasts, doing so with artistic adventurousness, poetic eloquence and disarming directness. But while Reed believed in emotionally engaging an audience, Brecht consciously avoided it.
He may have been the most innovative and influential playwright of the 20th century, but Brecht's chief focus was getting an audience to think and act.
It's not often enough that Twin Cities audiences receive the Brechtian call to action, which makes Theatre Pro Rata's current production of "The Good Woman of Setzuan" worth considering. It's a very solid staging of one of the playwright's landmark World War II-era works, a briskly paced bare bones production that cuts to the gist of the story and will likely provoke a response from whomever attends it, just as Brecht would want it.
The play comes from an era when the author was creating parables for the stage, works that invite you to consider such issues as how economics affect life decisions and how power is surrendered and wielded. In this one, three "gods" descend from Heaven to seek one good person and find themselves frustrated until encountering a prostitute who puts them up for the night and receives a bundle of cash that she uses to open a tobacco shop.
This is a story of the streets, its action taking place in a poverty-stricken neighborhood with plenty of crime, so it's appropriate that director Carin Bratlie and Theatre Pro Rata have chosen to make it something like street theater. The curtain is ragged vinyl, the props minimal, the set consisting primarily of a crate and three small wooden palettes, one of which becomes the title character's crowded shop a la the stateroom scene from the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera."
The costumes aren't very Chinese, and that's OK, when you consider Brecht was pretty cavalier in choosing its setting. He didn't find out "Setzuan" isn't a city, but a province, until after the play had premiered. But the garb designed by Mandi Johnson is eye-catching (especially the bow to Bauhaus that adorns the gods), and the quick costume changes by the multi-tasking actors are often astounding.
Brecht may have eschewed emotional engagement, but there's plenty to be found in Kelsey Cramer's performance as the alternately sweet and cold-hearted title character. Also impressive is Foster Johns as the young lout for whom she falls and the benevolent old shopkeeper who falls for her. Standing out among the increasingly uncertain gods is Peyton McCandless as an optimist who's always willing to revise goals and declare they have been achieved.
Critiquing capitalism is an underlying theme, so it's not surprising Brecht designed this to be a not very satisfying play. But Theatre Pro Rata does a fine job with tricky material, and provides a good opportunity to fill a Brecht-sized hole in your theatrical education.
