text:
This was the first contract between ideologists (priests) and those in power (warriors-kings): the kings, who retain actual power (over life and death of other people) will recognize the formal superiority of the priests as the highest caste, and, in exchange for this appearance of superiority, the priests will legitimize the power of the warriors-kings as part of the natural cosmic order. Then, however, around the sixth and fifth century BCE, something took place, a radical "revaluation of all values" in the guise of the universalist backlash against this cosmic food chain: the ascetic rejection of this entire infernal machine of life reproducing itself through sacrifice and eating. The circle of food chain is now perceived as the circle of eternal suffering, and the only way to achieve piece is to exempt oneself from it. (With regard to food, this, of course, means vegetarianism: not eating killed animals.) From perpetuating time, we pass to the goal of entering the timeless Void. With this reversal from the life-affirming stance to the world-renunciation, comparable to the Christian reversal of the pagan universe, the highest values are no longer strength and fertility, but compassion, humility, and love. The very meaning of sacrifice changes with this reversal: we no longer sacrifice so that the infernal life-cycle goes on, but to get rid of the guilt for participating in this cycle.
What are the socio-political consequences of this reversal? How can we avoid the conclusion that the entire social hierarchy, grounded in the "great food chain" of eaters and those being eaten, should be suspended? It is here that the genius of The Laws of Manu shines: its basic ideological operation is to unite the hierarchy of castes and the ascetic world-renunciation by way of making the purity itself the criterion of one's place in the caste hierarchy. As Wendy Doniger says in her introduction to this text,
"Vegetarianism was put forward as the only way to liberate oneself from the bonds of natural violence that adversely affected one's karma. A concomitant of this new dietary practice was a social hierarchy governed to a large extent by the relative realization of the ideal of non-violence. The rank order of the social classes did not change. But the rationale for the ranking did."
"Vegetarianism was put forward as the only way to liberate oneself from the bonds of natural violence that adversely affected one's karma. A concomitant of this new dietary practice was a social hierarchy governed to a large extent by the relative realization of the ideal of non-violence. The rank order of the social classes did not change. But the rationale for the ranking did."
Vegetarian priests are at the top, as close as humanly possible to purity; they are followed by the warriors-kings who reality by dominating it and killing life — they are in a way the negative of the priests, i.e., they entertain towards the wheel of Life the same negative attitude like the priests, albeit in the aggressive/intervening mode. Then come the producers who provide food and other material conditions for life, and, finally, at the bottom, the outcasts whose main task is to deal with all kinds of excrements, the putrefying dead remainders of life (from cleaning the toilets to butchering animals and disposing of human bodies).
Since the two attitudes are ultimately incompatible, the task of their unification is an impossible one and can be achieved only by a complex panoply of tricks, displacements and compromises whose basic formula is that of universality with exceptions: 'in principle yes, but…' The Laws of Manu demonstrates a breath-taking ingenuity in accomplishing this task, with examples often coming dangerously close to the ridiculous. For example, priests should study the Veda, not trade; in extremity, however, a priest can engage in trade, but he is not allowed to trade in certain things like sesame seed; if he does it, he can only do it in certain circumstances; finally, if he does it in the wrong circumstances, he will be reborn as a worm in dogshit…
In other words, the great lesson of The Laws of Manu is that the true regulating power of the law does not reside in its direct prohibitions, in the division of our acts into permitted and prohibited, but in regulating the very violations of prohibitions: the law silently accepts that the basic prohibitions are violated (or even discreetly solicits us to violate them), and then, once we find ourselves in this position of guilt, it tells us how to reconcile the violation with the law by way of violating the prohibition in a regulated way…
British colonial administration of India elevated The Laws of Manu into a privileged text to be used as a reference for establishing the legal code which would render possible the most efficient domination of India – up to a point, one can even say that The Laws of Manu only became the book of the Hindu tradition retroactively, chosen to stand for the tradition by the colonizers among a vast choice (the same as its obscene obverse, "tantra," which was also systematized into a coherent dark, violent and dangerous cult by the British colonizers) – in all these cases, we are dealing with what Eric Hobsbawm called "invented traditions." What this also implies is that the persistence of the phenomenon and social practice of the Untouchables is not simply a remainder of tradition: their number grew throughout the nineteenth century, with the spreading of cities which lacked proper canalization, so that the outcasts were needed to deal with dirt and excrements. At a more general level, one should thus reject the idea that globalization threatens local traditions, that it flattens differences: sometimes it threatens them, more often it keeps them alive, or resuscitates them by way of adapting them to new conditions – say, like the British and Spanish re-invented slavery.
With the formal prohibition of the discrimination of the Untouchables, their exclusion changed status and became the obscene supplement of the official/public order: publicly disavowed, it continues its subterranean existence. However, this subterranean existence is nonetheless formal (it concerns the subject's symbolic title/status), which is why it does not follow the same logic as the well-known classic Marxist opposition of formal equality and actual inequality in the capitalist system: here, it is the inequality (the persistence of the hierarchic caste system) which is formal, while in their actual economic and legal life, individuals are in a way equal (a dalit today can also become rich, etc.). The status of the caste hierarchy is here not the same as that of nobility in a bourgeois society, which is effectively irrelevant, just a feature which may add to the subject's public glamour.
Exemplary is here the conflict between B.R. Ambedkar and Gandhi during the 1930s: although Gandhi was the first Hindu politician to advocate the full integration of the Untouchables, and called them "the children of god," he perceived their exclusion as the result of the corruption of the original Hindu system. What Gandhi envisaged was rather the (formally) non-hierarchical order of castes within which each individual has his/her own allotted place: he emphasized the importance of scavenging and celebrated the Untouchables for performing this "sacred" mission. It is here that the Untouchables are exposed to the greatest ideological temptation: in a way which prefigures today's "identity politics," Gandhi is allowing them to "fall in love with themselves" in their humiliating identity, to accept their degrading work as a noble necessary social task, to perceive even the degrading nature of their work as a sign of their sacrifice, of their readiness to do the dirty job for society. Even his more "radical" injunction that everyone, Brahmin included, should clean his or her own shit, obfuscates the true issue, which is not that of our individual attitude, but of a global social nature. (The same ideological trick is performed today by injunctions which bombard us from all sides to recycle personal waste, to put bottles, newspapers, etc., in the appropriate separate bins… in this way, guilt and responsibility are personalized, it is not the entire organization of economy which is to blame, but our subjective attitude which should be changed.) The task is not to change our inner selves, but to abolish Untouchability as such, i.e., not as an element of the system, but the system itself which generates it. In contrast to Gandhi, Ambedkar saw this clearly when he, as Christophe Jaffrelot says, "underlined the futility of merely abolishing Untouchability: this evil being the product of a social hierarchy of a particular kind, it was the entire caste system that had to be eradicated: 'There will be out castes /Untouchables/ as long as there are castes.' … Gandhi responded that, on the contrary, here it was a question of the foundation of Hinduism, a civilization which, in its original form, in fact ignored hierarchy."
In 1927, Ambedkar symbolically burnt a copy of the Manusmriti; Gandhi always held in his hand a copy of the Bhagvad Gita—a text that extolled the varna order in its originary four-fold form. Ambedkar mounted a severe critique of the Gita for being a counter-revolutionary defence of the caste order. The Gandhi-Ambedkar difference here is insurmountable: it is the difference between the "organic" solution (solving the problem by way of returning to the purity of the original non-corrupted system) and the truly radical solution (identifying the problem as the "symptom" of the entire system, the symptom which can only be resolved by way of abolishing the entire system). Ambedkar saw clearly how the structure of four castes, or the varna system, does not unite four elements which belong to the same order: while the first three castes (priests, warrior-kings, merchants-producers) form a consistent All, an organic triad, the Shudras (slaves) and Untouchables (outside the four-fold system) are like Marx's "Asiatic mode of production" the "part of no part," the inconsistent element which holds within the system the place of what the system as such excludes — and as such, the Untouchables stand for universality. Or, as Ambedkar's put it in his ingenious wordplay: "There will be outcasts as long as there are castes." As long as there are castes, there will be an excessive excremental zero-value element which, while formally part of the system, has no proper place within it. Gandhi obfuscates this paradox, as if harmonious structure is possible.
Slavoj Žižek is the international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, University of London. His most recent book is Less than Nothing: Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism. A shorter, edited version of this appears in print.
Slavoj Zizek's article on Ambedkar was very perceptive (The Apostate Children of God). The distinctions between Gandhi and Ambedkar are more clearly drawn here than I have seen before.
Anwaar, Dallas
In the photograph on page 51, Ambedkar is not wearing Buddhist robes, as the caption mentions. It is the dress code of the Kaivalyadham centre, located on the Mumbai-Pune highway where Ambedkar learnt yoga after the untimely death of his beloved Raamu, his first wife (respectfully known as Ramaai). Also, the name of his guru, Mahatma Jotiba Phule, is not Jyotirao, as you have printed. If you cannot spell even our names properly then how can we believe that justice would be delivered to us?
Shuddhodhan Aher, Mumbai
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
@ D-61/40 Shyamal Barua, Kolkata, India
Thanks for the advice.
Yes I have been to Fo Kuang Shan monastery. But as a tourist. My ex's mother is devotee there.
Karmanye Vadhikarestu, Ma Faleshu Kadachana; meaning, 'keep on working but don't expect anything in return
My problem is with this translation/interpretation itself.
cause the fruits of your labor belongs to your master, the Brahmin
Amazing man, you are unbelievable. Neither Krishna or Arjuna in this context, are Brahmins.
By no mean I am trying to defend untouchability, but everything is not about caste system.
As you say, "... poor, neglected and downtrodden lot".
I think Sudama (and must be many others like him) also fit in this category.
Valmiki writes Ramayan and accepted by all.
"Buddha sucessfully rebelled against above lies & deceit...."
I don't think Buddha perticularly fought against this. His fight seems more against Karm-Kaand. But anyways I don't know much about that.
But thanks to Ashok that Buddhism is what it is. Otherwise there are hundreds of buddhas, we don't talk about.
@ Santosh Gairola, Hsinchu >> Your academic interest in Manusmriti, or in sloka's of Gita (Karmanye Vadhikarestu, Ma Faleshu Kadachana; meaning, 'keep on working but don't expect anything in return'; cause the fruits of your labor belongs to your master, the Brahmin) are one thing, but if are trying to find some truth or moral in it, I must say you are on a wrong course, for both are an act of fraud and deceit.
The hierarchical and repressive structure of Indian (Hindu) society came into existence during the period of manusmriti about three thousand years ago. The manusmriti set the tone of social discrimination based on birth. This, in turn led to social exclusion, economic degradation and political isolation of the Untouchables now popularly known as Dalits. Dalits are the poor, neglected and downtrodden lot. Their social disabilities were specific, severe and numerous. Their touch, shadow or even voice was considered by the caste Hindus to be polluting. They were forced to live in the outskirts of the villages towards which the wind blew and dirt flowed. Their houses were dirty, dingy and unhygienic where poverty and squalor loomed large. They were denied the use of public wells. The doors of the Hindu temples were closed for them and their children were not allowed into the schools attended by the children of caste Hindu. Barbers and washermen refused their services to them lest they lose their business from the upper castes. Public services were closed to them. They followed menial hereditary occupations such as those of street sweeping, manual scavenging, shoemaking and carcasses removing.
Buddha sucessfully rebelled against above lies & deceit but fearing losing their evil grip on the masses, the cunning Brahmins made him an avatar of Vishnu, and slowly destroyed his ideals and teachings; and similarly Gandhi and Nehru had pacified the Ambedkar's rebellion over the rights of Dalit by false promises.
I think you should take a week long pilgrimage to the Fo Kuang Shan monastery at Kaohsiung to seek truth and peace through Vipassana.
"At a time when it's scientifically proved that the universe started from nothing..."
Nothing of this sort has been proved.
This article is a joke! But, the comments are worth it - Outlook, you have better scholars and journalists in your readers than your contributors.
@ Paavendran Devendran: I agree that anybody should be eligible to be head of religious matts, if they show the aptitude and inclination for it. The key word here is aptitude: it does take a certain amount of scholarship to learn the vedas and the puranas and speak it in chaste sanskrit. It is the study of a lifetime. Gimmicks such as replacing priests in temples with 25+ year old lower castes may work in politics for Karunanidhi, but who will respect such priests? If Karunanidhi or anybody else is interested in changing the system, they must ensure that children of all castes grow up in matts and learn together. The best amongst them can become the head, meritoriously.
Gods don't eat humans. The cycle of life is not a food chain. The author of this article is an example of reclusive scholarship taken to extreme with ridiculous analogies. Somewhere down the line, common sense is lost amidst all the quotations.

While the winds of an Iraq war are gusting ominously, peace advocates from across the religious and ethnic spectrum are joining forces. Pope John Paul II turned more than a few heads on Valentine's Day by hosting Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz at the Vatican and asking God to bless Iraq. But these two men share more than just a desire to avoid war: Aziz is a baptized Chaldean Catholic—Iraq's branch of Roman Catholicism.
Given the ruthless and bloody history of Iraq's Ba'athist regime, critics have questioned Aziz's Christian credentials. Still, the high profile of a Catholic in Saddam Hussein's overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim government has become a source of intrigue and curiosity. And it raises the larger question: How has Christianity fared in the history of Iraq—the geographic area that was once Mesopotamia? A few weeks ago we examined the origins of Iraq's Christian minority from Pentecost until Constantine's conversion in A.D. 312. Now we pick up their history from there.
Despite severe Persian Empire persecution, the ancient Mesopotamian Church blossomed during the fourth century while allied with Antioch, which was a major early hub of Christianity in the Roman Empire. In A.D. 410, at the Council of Seleucia, the Persian church declared its separation from Antioch.
Soon after, these Persian Christians fell under the influence of Nestorian teachings. Nestorius (d. 451), a patriarch of Constantinople, was condemned as a heretic by the Roman Church for leading his followers to question Jesus' dual nature as fully God and fully man. Many scholars of theology now believe poor Nestorius was more misguided than mischievous. He did not intend to separate the divine and human natures of Christ into distinct persons. But in his zeal to distinguish between those natures, he used unguarded language that led to his banishment and the persecution of his followers, who began fleeing the Roman Empire in the fifth century to seek refuge in Persia and Mesopotamia.
Over the next 600 years, the Nestorian Church developed into one of the most successful missionary-sending churches in all Christendom. Active in international trade, Nestorians spread as far as northern China. Their influence waned only when Islam gained regional dominance around A.D. 1000.
Islam first appeared on the Mesopotamian scene in the seventh century. Ironically, it got its first and biggest boost from a Christian.
At the time, the Persian Empire still exerted considerable influence. Persian ruler Chosroes II conquered Constantinople in 605 and by 615 and possessed every major city in the formerly Roman-controlled Middle East. But thanks to their leader's unquenchable lust for women, the Persians' Empire began crumbling by the mid-seventh century.
Despite his harem of three thousand wives and twelve thousand female slaves, Chosroes II demanded to have a woman named Hadiqah, the daughter of a Christian Arab named Na'aman. Na'aman stood up to Chosroes II because he wouldn't allow his daughter to marry a Zoroastrian. Chosroes II, enraged, trampled him with an elephant. Infuriated and emboldened after hearing the story, Arabs rose up and thoroughly defeated Chosroes II. The victory marked the beginning of a period of Arab assertiveness that culminated in the later Islamic conquests.
By 1000, an entrenched and powerful Islam had greatly curtailed the Christian influence in Persia and Mesopotamia. Already suffering from Islam's territorial and religious gains, the Nestorian Church was further weakened by internal dissent and corrupt church leadership.

I recently bought an HP Compaq dc5700-SFF dual core machine for home use. It has Win 7 32 bit profesional loaded onto it.
My son wants to use this machine for study and also to run games on it. The graphics card supplied with the machine is pretty poor and I wanted to upgrade to a more capable card. The computer is classed as SFF small form factor - so only low profile graphics cards can be accepted.
In the manual for this machine HP say that it has a PCIe x 16 1.0 slot but not all PCIe cards are supported.
It further says that cards must be ADD2 compatible.
Does anyone know which modern cards are available which will work with this machine?
(Graphics cards which HP have checked for use with the machine are shown below).
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000
DVI ADD2 SDVO single head graphics adapter (SDVO connector)
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 64 MB PCI dual head VGA
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 55 64 MB PCI low-profile DVI w/TV-out

Not really a challenge. My neighbours are a lot more social than I am. We've talked about energy consumption and how much the bills are. I spend much less than they do. Here it's actually hydro (water) that is the biggest bill. Heating is almost cheap by comparison.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry, through Bukit Aman, will intensify operations against militants and terrorist cells in the country, said Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
The Deputy Home Minister said the police would not allow Malaysia to be used as a hub to train or harbour terrorist elements.
"The police, especially the Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division, are working closely with international enforcement agencies, including Interpol, to uncover any terror activities.
"The police have always closely monitored suspected militant or terrorist activity but action will only be taken when enough evidence has been collected," he said yesterday.
Saving special praise for the Counter Terrorism Division, Dr Wan Junaidi said the police would not stop until all militants were caught.
Sandakan Naval Base Commander First Adm Ahmad Abdullah said the Royal Malaysian Navy would give its full cooperation to the police after one of its officers were detained for suspected militant involvement.
"We will let the police conduct their investigation first before taking action against the officer," he said.
Separately, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin stressed terrorism has no place in Malaysia and those involved would be pursued relentlessly – even if it was a local.
"We cannot allow anyone, be it our citizen or foreigner, to intrude or do something that can cause worry, more so if it involves terrorism and violence," he said.
Muhyiddin was commenting on the arrest of a Royal Malaysian Navy officer who was among the three detained in Sabah for being part of a military group planning to undertake suicide bombings in Syria and Iraq.
They are linked to the rebel Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) in the Middle East and al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf in southern Philippines.
The Counter-Terrorism Unit has arrested 15 members of the group since April 28.
"What is important is that there is solid proof that those involved in such acts can be brought to court," he said after attending the Bukit Damansara charity carnival here yesterday.
It was organised by the Bukit Damansara Home Owners' Association and Persatuan Anak Muda Bukit Damansara.

Do fans want the prime timeline back?

Re: Do fans want the prime timeline back?
Just forget about it, do a Prime timeline, post-TNG film, and don't mention it.
In my opinion, a simple 5 minute flashback would suffice. Just explain the backstory a bit. Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, Dominion War, blablabla. And only if it's relevant to the story of the film. If not, then you don't need to know it.
Lord of the Rings gave such a backstory exposition at the very beginning, and nobody complained about being "confused" by so much backstory.
It doesn't matter that there are 700 episodes, it doesn't matter AT ALL. All you need to know is the essence and gist of all of it, which isn't that much. There is the Federation, there is a famous line of starships, there was a big war, and that war is over now and that's it.
Heck, nobody complained about being confused by Old Spock's appearance in Abramstrek. His character has the "baggage" of 70 episodes and 6 films, and what did you need to know about all of it to get the film? NOTHING.
All you needed to know about First Contact was that Picard was previously assimilated. You didn't need to know how, you didn't need to know anything about later episodes with Hugh or Lore, nothing.
All those claims that the franchise somehow got caught up in its own continuity, and that audiences would be confused by so much baggage, is absolute rubbish.
A movie aiming low should not be praised for hitting that target.

John Horn, Senior Environmental Specialist, Kansas City, MO-based Great Plains Energy Service/KCPL
Saving Water, Energy, and the Environment
Being Green is Green
An Integrated Approach to Sustainability – From the Start
John Horn, Senior Environmental Specialist, Kansas City, MO-based Great Plains Energy Service/KCPL, on sustainability and environmental practices …
Q: What does green mean to you?
A: The first thought that comes to mind is money, quite frankly. We found in the early days, the green chemicals cost more. They were green for the suppliers. Now, the suppliers are beginning to fill that market niche and we're finding that those products are no more expensive than anything else. And because of lower disposal costs at the other end, if there's any material left over, we save money. Being green is green for us right now. We're finding that we actually save money rather than spending money. It kind of raises my hackles when I hear somebody say, "Oh, we'll have to budget X number of dollars extra because we're going to go on this green program?" Well, not if you do it right.
Q: Are there certain organizations that you have used in your process of finding information?
A:In the Kansas City area, we have an organization: EEBN (Environmental Excellence in Business Network). It's the result of a not-for-profit organization here called Bridging the Gap. It [received] an EPA grant to start this networking, and it networks environmental professionals and other people in business [on] sustainability ideas; ideas on how to get things, how to handle wastestreams, and right now, we're starting to look at by-product production that can be used as raw material for other industries. We're trying to make matches there rather than having to dispose of these by-products. The whole purpose is to get people together to meet each other, to network ideas, and to just have a face and a name so they can talk.
Q: What initiatives has your company taken in terms of lessening the impact of your facility on the environment?
A: We've had huge initiatives in our power production side. On the office side, we remodeled and rebuilt our service centers and our home office. We went into low-energy lights and electronic ballasts. That allowed us to cut our air-conditioning load because of less heat being put off by the lights and the ballasts; not only the savings in electricity from the lights, you have the savings on the air-conditioning. That was significant. It was over 20 percent on the air-conditioning load. Then, we also went into longer-wear carpet, and we went into better glass and window systems to keep radiant heat from coming into the buildings. We also went to variable airflow in the air-conditioning systems so people could control and be more comfortable without just having to crank up the compressor.
Q: Why is sustainability important to you?
A: In our company, it's a matter of personal integrity. It starts at the very top of the organization with the CEO, and our last CEO made it one of the hallmarks of the administration – to be a good corporate citizen, both in the community and in the environment. And we're not only thinking green, but we have proactive programs that we have funded to reintroduce endangered species that have died out in the area, and we've built wetlands. But on the commercial side, we do it in a way we can make and save money. It's been very comforting to work here and know that, at the very top, there's a sense of integrity. It's just a moral issue, quite frankly, and it should be for everybody.

The Oakland Raiders secondary have played well during the first two games of the regular season, making plays in coverage and in the backfield.
Oakland's top three tacklers during Sunday's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars were defensive backs: safety Charles Woodson and cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and DJ Hayden.
Three of the five sacks that brought down quarterback Chad Henne came from blitzing defensive backs.
Tracy Porter made his presence felt early by deflecting two passes targeted for wide receiver Cecil Shorts during the first quarter.
Woodson, who came back to Oakland to be a leader for an overhauled defense, is doing so by example.
The 36-year-old veteran was the Raiders leading tackler in the game with six, including a jumping tackle over a Jaguars blocker in the red zone that brought down running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
"Charles made an exceptional play," head coach Dennis Allen said to the media after the game via csnbayarea.com. "Anytime you see a guy like Charles Woodson, who has played as long as he has … to make an effort play like that really gives the whole team a lot of momentum."
The Raiders hope to carry that momentum into next week when they go on the road to face AFC West rival Denver Broncos.
The Raiders secondary will really have to show its worth when it faces Peyton Manning and company.
Things won't get easier for the Raiders defense as it lost one of its more productive players in safety Tyvon Branch during the first quarter.
Branch suffered from a fractured fibula and is out indefinitely csnbayarea.com reported.
"I took a glance at the score after our game and it looks like Denver put up a lot of points again," Woodson said to the news source after the game.
He also said that while it was good get their first regular season victory, the team will have to "get over it quickly" as it looks forward to playing in Denver for Monday Night Football.
Raiders running back Darren McFadden showed he is one of the best in the NFL when healthy as he rushed for 129 yards on 19 carries.
Days after signing a contract extension, fullback Marcel Reece rewarded the team by scoring the Raiders' only touchdown of the game during its opening drive.
If Oakland can establish its ability to run the ball and Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor can minimize mistakes, then the team will have a puncher's chance to steal one in Denver.
However, it will be up to the Raiders defense to keep the game close enough to give Pryor and the offense opportunities.

With all the talk of how WoW kills editors I figured i'd see a WOW thread here or something. If I missed it i'm an idiot...
So, who plays? What server? Character info?
I started back in October of 06 on Thorium Brotherhood with an Orc Warior (Rhunat). I made a Gnome Warlock (Nyaah) that got tossed aside after I joined a guild with it (yea... i still feel like an ass about it) and an Undead Warlock (Salid) that I've been ignoring since it hit 25 or so.
Anyone else care to share?

Lane Street Medical CentreMedical Centres Wentworthville, NSW
Since moving to Wentworthville 8mths ago, I decided 4 weeks ago to look for a new doctor. I wanted to make some general health enquiries & also take the time to find someone I trusted & build a good repore. Little did I know that my first meeting with Dr Madas would be life changing!
To ensure that Dr Madas was able to give me thorough care, he applied for a copy of my medical records from my previous medical centre. After reviewing this information, he noticed that I had an abnormal pap smear result 2yrs ago & had seen a specialist/received treatment at that time. He enquired when my last visit was & I recalled that I was overdue - I had missed my reminder letter when I moved residence. He insisted that I return to the specialist for a followup visit without delay. The following week I was tested by the specialist & was contacted 2 days later to come in urgently to discuss the results. I was informed that I had abnormal cell activity which indicated early stages of cervical cancer & 2 days later I was admitted to hospital for removal.
Today (2 wks later) I returned to Dr Madas for the first time since & had the pleasure of showing my gratitude in person. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate his thorough work ethic & genuine pleasure at seeing me healthy once more.
I have definitely found my new doctor.

I'm not good at writing about myself, but I would like to think that I'm intelligent, professional, educated and I love organization and cleanliness. I like sports and a good wine. I like travel but I'm glad I have slowed that down, I'am looking to a meet a beautiful woman for dating and if things go positively, the sky is the limit thereafter. As for the woman I'm looking for, she doesn't have to be super intelligent but it would be good if she is driven or have great goals in life. She needs to be very respectful, organized, mentally strong and most importantly, loyal. I'm have a close knit family and my circle of friends is one of positive and elevating influence. I could write a lot about me but I'm not into myself... to meet me is to know me, thats what I believe!!!

'Pacemaker' Device Helps You Regain Bladder Control
Some people with overactive bladder try treatment after treatment, but nothing seems to work. Others find certain treatments difficult to tolerate. Don't lose hope! A new treatment, called neurostimulation, may be worth considering.
Neurostimulation is a way of controlling urinary incontinence, frequency, and problems emptying the bladder. It works by sending mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves—the nerves in the lower back that help control bladder function. The treatment requires only an outpatient procedure, and results can be seen quickly.
The Bladder "Pacemaker"
The therapy, provided by FDA-approved Medtronic InterStim® Therapy for Urinary Control, works similarly to how a pacemaker helps regulate the heart. A small device is surgically implanted under the skin close to the tailbone. It's programmed to emit electrical pulses that interrupt poor communication between the brain and sacral nerves. Without clear communication, the body is unable to store and void urine correctly.

OAS Permanent Council Advances Debates on Drugs and Strategic Vision and Pays Tribute to Former Haitian President Lesly Manigat
July 9, 2014
The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) today appointed a committee to consider the resolution to be sent to the Special General Assembly on drugs to be held on September 19 in Antigua, Guatemala, re-elected the Permanent Representative of Mexico to chair the Working Group on Strategic Vision of the hemispheric institution, and paid tribute to former Haitian President Lesly Manigat, who recently passed away.
In the corresponding point on the agenda, the Council decided to form a Working Group to consider the proposed resolution for the Special General Asembly to be held in Guatemala City. The event is convened for the purpose of implementing the provisions of the "Declaration of Antigua Guatemala: "For a Comprehensive Policy Against the World Drug Problem in the Americas , approved at the Annual General Assembly in 2013.
The Permanent Representative of Guatemala to the OAS, José María Argueta said the Declaration of Antigua Guatemala, together with the report presented by the OAS that year on the World Drug Problem, Analytical Report - Scenarios Report -prepared by a team led by the Secretary General, José Miguel Insulza and pursuant to a mandate from the Summit of the Americas 2012- constitute "the policy framework that sets the tone for the discussion and debate about the global drug problem in the Americas, and without false modesty, beyond the Americas."
Ambassador Argueta highlighted the progress of the region in the discussion on drug policy over the past two years; and stated that the September meeting will be a success if the Hemisphere reaches an agreement to present a joint position at the United Nations General Assembly in 2016, which will discuss the global drug problem.
Secretary General Insulza stressed the importance that the issue be addressed by the Organization and its member states, and stressed the importance of the Assembly as a forum "to express our opinions to know where the drug issue is heading." The Secretary General expressed his support for the conventions on drugs signed internationally, while recalling that "this Organization and several of its member countries have shown their ability to flexibly interpret these conventions in pursuit of the welfare of their own people." In particular, he positively valued experiences on drug policies that have been made in some countries and cities of the Americas, with a more comprehensive approach linked to the prevention and care rather than repression of the drug issue, adding that "we must make clear our irrevocable decision to continue to fight more effectively against organized crime."
At another point on the agenda and in response to a request from Brazil, the Council re-elected the Permanent Representative of Mexico, Emilio Rabasa, to continue to lead the Working Group on the Strategic Vision of the OAS.
The Council -which met at the headquarters of the hemispheric institution in Washington, DC, and was chaired by the Permanent Representative of Saint Lucia, Sonia Johnny- paid tribute to former Haitian President Professor Lesly Manigat, who recently died at age 83. The Council observed a minute of silence in his honor.
The Interim Representative of Haiti to the OAS, Bocchit Edmond, recalled former President Manigat and noted his "sense of the patriotic ideal and high esteem for Haiti as the first independent country in the Hemisphere." "His departure leaves an immeasurable void in the intellectual universe of Haiti and also in the region, he was a great humanist and not only belonged to Haiti, but to the whole world," he said. Representative Edmond stressed the long academic career of the former Haitian President, during which he taught world history at universities in the United States, France and Venezuela. "Thank you for your eclecticism and intellectual humanism" added the Haitian diplomat.
Secretary General Insulza noted that when professor Manigat took office in 1988 he did so with the purpose of working for democracy in Haiti, "and that's why the military overthrew him four months later." "It is right that we provide this tribute to someone who always strove to give Haiti the democracy to which all our countries are fully entitled. Our tribute to Lesly Manigat and condolences to the people of Haiti and his family for his death," said OAS Secretary General.
Also during today's meeting, the Council approved the convening of the First Special Conference of States Parties to the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence against Women (Convention of Belém do Pará) on October 23 and 24, 2014; received the draft agenda of the 89th Regular Meeting of the Directing Council of the Inter-American Children's Institute; and heard a presentation by the Permanent Representative of Peru to the OAS, Juan Federico Jiménez Mayor, on the inclusion of the Qhapaq Ñan Andean Road System on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In his presentation, Ambassador Jiménez highlighted the cultural and historical importance of the infrastructure of Inca origin that crosses six countries in the region, as well as its recent recognition by UNESCO.
Finally, the Council bid farewell to the Permanent Representative of Costa Rica to the OAS, Edgar Ugalde, who has concluded his mission. The Chair of the Council said that with his presence in the Organization, all the countries "have benefited from your knowledge of international law and your advice on legal matters." In addition, she highlighted his "true professionalism" and said "your willingness to dialogue has not gone unnoticed."
Secretary General Insulza, for his part, highlighted the "great wisdom" of Ambassador Ugalde, his "knowledge of history and law," as well as his "courage in defending his principles." "I want to express my appreciation and respect for the enormous contribution that you have made to this Organization and also to its Secretary General," he concluded.
In his farewell, Ambassador Ugalde said it "hurts my heart" to leave the OAS, and thanked the collaboration of the representatives of the member countries as well as the staff of the hemispheric institution for the fulfillment of their tasks. In his farewell, he summarized the challenges facing the body, and emphasized the importance of continuing to work on the Strategic Vision of the OAS, proposed by Secretary General Insulza.
During the meeting, the representatives of Antigua and Barbuda (on behalf of CARICOM), the United States, Costa Rica, Honduras, Venezuela, Mexico, Guyana, Colombia, Canada, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Belize (on behalf of SICA), El Salvador, Brazil, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Paraguay, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Dominica, Guatemala, Saint Lucia, Haiti, and the Observer of France and Germany took the floor.

RIBA-linked educational design society anyone?
I was wondering if there would be any interest among architects involved in the design of schools, colleges and university buildings in setting up a RIBAlinked society, along the lines of Architects for Health, as a forum for discussing and promoting all and any issues relevant to educational design?
Anyone who would like to discuss this further can contact me at sarah. curl@cltarchitects. co. uk Sarah Curl, partner Curl la Tourelle Architects, London NW5

Very good
1 个顾客认为以下的评论有帮助
Reviewer1662056发表于 Apr 16, 2012
This is a collection of soaked sprouted grains and seeds with apricots. It is very crisp and is actually very good. I use it with coconut milk. It is delicious and very filling. However, it has to be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly because the ingredients are on the hard side. I haven't tried this, but I think putting liquid over it several minutes before eating might make it easier to eat as it would soften the seeds and grains. I also add a few raisins to the mix. I think dates would also be a good addition. I will buy more but I think I will do a lot of experimenting with it by adding some of the above ingredients plus coconut, walnuts and maybe even some fresh fruit. It is good and filling.

One of my two favorites of Lydia's cereal. The other is Vanilla Crunch. They are filling and pure. The price is waaaaay better than the other Raw sprouted cereal brand, although that one is tastier, however it has added sweeteners. This is pure and better for dieting or those who prefer unsweetened.

Loved it as a snack or with yogurt. Healthy fiber intake, not too sweet as I like. Good fill up in a evening when you have no idea why you're hungry. I'm not sure I'd eat it with milk like regular cereal, but have not tried. Has a sunflower seed in it. Kids did not like it, said it tastes too healthy :)).

My favourite of the Lydia's cereals. All sprouted grains mean i can now digest the seeds and nuts.

I love this cereal and the bits of dates mixed in ... plus, it's low in sugar, high in fiber, and not too high in calories. I stir it into yogurt for breakfast, and I feel great all morning long!

I rode out at Hunting Island State Park, SC for the first time since this past fall. This once beautiful park, and recently renourished beach, isn't looking so good. All of the Red Bay trees are dead from a forgien beetle and fungus invasion that makes the forest look half alive. The State Park Service has installed groins perpendicular to the beach, making beach riding a cyclocross like adventure.
Some of you like to camp there and visit while visiting the Lowcountry. I thought I'd pass on this information to help anyone planning a trip here.

But the book my teacher recommended (Mathematical Methods for Physicists - Arfken) is way too hard to understand this subject. Does anyone know any good material about this that I can find on internet? Thank you.

More than 150,000 people crowded into hotels on the famous Copacabana strip and even paid for space in converted office and 'love motels' for the eagerly anticipated conference 20 years on from the original 1992 Earth Summit.
The jamboree cost the Brazilian Government pounds 134million and each country hundreds of thousands to pay for flights and accommodation. The 50 strong UK delegation will have cost at least pounds 100,000. The UN, that is paid for by taxpayers around the world, will have had to fork out for helping poorer countries and officials attend.
The conference also emitted 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, despite calling for a reduction in global greenhouse gases.
It was hoped that 'Rio+20 would come up with a new UN resolution to shift the world economy from polluting fossil fuels to green energy like wind and solar.
But as rain swept across Rio at the end of the summit, civil society groups were left angry and disillusioned.
The final document, called The Future We Want, calls on the world to shift to a 'green economy' and to phase out fossil fuels but there is no timetable for action.
The principle of Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs has been agreed but there is no detail, despite countries including the UK calling for clear targets on ending food waste, water pollution and overfishing.
Efforts to limit global population growth by calling for improved access to free contraception were watered down by protests from the Vatican.
Barbara Stocking, the head of Oxfam, who was part of the UK delegation attending meetings with ministers, said it was "shamefully devoid of progress".
"Rio will go down as the hoax summit," she said. "They came, they talked, but they failed to act. We elect governments to tackle the issues that we can't tackle alone. But they are not providing the leadership the world desperately needs. Paralysed by inertia and in hock to vested interests, too many are unable to join up the dots and solve the connected crises of environment, equity and economy."
Nick Clegg, the UK Deputy Prime Minister, admitted he was "disappointed" with the outcome.
He blamed a 'neocolonial world' where developing countries that want to continue using fossil fuels to develop, like China and Brazil, have more power than the West and Europe.
He explained that countries like India see the green economy as a "euphemism for protectionism" that will stop them using huge natural resources of coal to grow.
"We no longer live in a neocolonial world where a small number of Governments can get together and write a text and say to the rest of the world you have to accept this," he said. "The developing world is much more assertive."
Much of the anger at the conference was directed at world leaders for failing to take the crisis in rising temperatures and loss of species seriously enough. Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron and Barack Obama, the President of the United States did not even bother to turn up.
However Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, insisted that the conference was a success.
She said that the inclusion of 'green economy' in the text has given the concept much more power and will encourage both government and business to start cutting carbon and investing in renewables.
The text also promises to give more money to the UN environment programme to help poorer countries tackle pollution and calls on all nations to start measuring natural capital as well as GDP.
Quoting Steve Jobs, the late head of Apple in saying 'Don't think big, think different'', Ms Clinton said it will be the private sector that will drive the shift to a green economy through innovation and market forces, rather than state intervention.
But Craig Bennet, Friends of the Earth's Director of Policy and Campaigns, said businesses will only act once Governments give a clean signal.
"These talks have been completely undermined by a dangerous lack of ambition, urgency and political will – and weak politicians too afraid to push for anything tougher.
"World leaders are understandably concerned about the broken economy – but until they stop treating it separately from our social and environmental problems this will never be fixed," he said.
As storm clouds gathered over Rio, Dame Barbara agreed that Governments have failed to make the agreement strong enough.
But, alongside other NGOs, she vowed that even the weak agreement to sign up to SDGs and start moving towards a green economy could be used to force change.
"It's been a painful birth but the vision of an ambitious set of goals on environment and development, applicable to all countries, is a solitary light in the fog."

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
As I've discussed before, we try to reserve warnings for only those situations where we can say with almost certainty that the code is broken, misleading or useless. One reason for trying to ensure that warnings are not "false positives" is that we don't ever want to encourage someone to take working, correct code and break it so as to remove the warning. Another is that since many people compile with "warnings are errors" turned on, we do not want to introduce a whole lot of unnecessary build breakages should the warning turn out to be unwarranted.
An unused using directive is almost certainly not "broken", and it's probably not misleading. It certainly is useless though. Why not produce a warning for this, so that you can remove the useless directive from your program?
Suppose we make an unused using into a warnings. Suppose you do have "warnings are errors" turned on. And suppose you create a new console project in Visual Studio. We generate you this code:
using System;using System.Text;using System.Linq;
class Program{ static void Main(string[] arguments) { }}
… which doesn't compile. Which is better, generating code that doesn't compile, or omitting the using directives and making you type "using System;" the first time you try to use Console.WriteLine?
Either way is a really bad user experience. So, no such feature.
"Which is better, generating code that doesn't compile, or omitting the using directives and making you type "using System;" the first time you try to use Console.WriteLine?"
Umm, the latter. I have already edited all of the major project and item templates that come with Visual Studio (which should really be a lot easier, btw) to remove the superfluous using statements; I am going to do it again when Visual Studio 2010 goes RTM. Why would Visual Studio assume that I am going to use Console.WriteLine in *every single class* that I create? Most of the time I don't need the System namespace at all, and the other namespaces are even less likely. And even if I do end up needing it, it is trivial to select "Resolve" from the context menu and have it added for me.
Contrary your assertion, I DO find unused namespaces to be misleading, just like unused types, members, or local variables. They are a sign to me that code has been modified and not properly reviewed. The difference between namespaces and the other code elements is that with the other elements, you cannot be sure that they are not being accessed through reflection; but with namespaces (and type aliases for that matter) you KNOW whether or not they are being used.
I agree with Danyel: I have "warnings as errors" turned on because I WANT to be warned when there is a potential problem with my codebase. Why the C# team is so intent on not warning me, when that is specifically what I have asked for, really bewilders me. That illogical line of reasoning has been used to justify not adding all sorts of very useful warnings.
As for the rest of the discussion, I strongly agree with all of Jon Skeet's points, except for event handler names, where I agree with Pavel. But the others are all long-standing annoyances I have with Visual Studio. It is even more annoying when posts like this one hold up my annoyances as virtues and then use them to justify not adding other useful features. As Jon said: "I can see that the decision not to produce warnings for useless code makes some sense in the light of Visual Studio *encouraging* you to have useless code." I would love to see a push in the next version of VS for EVERY single area of the IDE to start encouraging good practices, instead of catering to the lowest common denominator.
Xml comments are parsed by the compiler. If a namespace is used in the xml comments, it is not unused, and should not generate the warning.
It may be worth pointing out that an unused using directive *may* mean a bug in your code. It may be that you're using an extension method from namespace A instead of the one you intended to use from namespace B. Admittedly this is partly due to one of my very few peeves about how C# has evolved (the way that extension methods are discovered) but it really could change behaviour.
Naming Conventions:
If your first form is called MainForm, is your second form called MainForm1? You have the same issue, namely that the IDE developers are probably NOT psychic. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) They wouldn't follow this age-old convention if it didn't satsify the general market.
The numeric suffix conveition has been around since before most fresh-out-of-school coders were born and is used in the vast majority of software tools name their objects using the "type + index" convention, including 3-D software. I'd assemble a list upon request, but Eric probably doesn't want me filling up his allocated blog space.
Personally, I will end up renaming my controls no matter what Microsoft calls them, just as I do with Photoshop layers, 3ds max edit objects, etc. etc.. The idea is, protoype fast, beautify when it matters.
Directive Warnings:
I second the suggestion to use the Message box. It's practically useless right now anyway.
If you think unused usings are bad, try collapsing the block and see how quickly you forget about them.
Even Visual Studio 2008 Standard *without* SP1 has the option to right-click, Organize Usings, Remove Unused Usings. How any self-respecting coder could miss this is beyond me. Methinks you should explore and understand the tools you use on a day-to-day basis to feed your family before you complain about a feature that already exists.
Bear in mind that VS only creates usings for existing references. If you removed unwanted references when you first create your project, you won't get all those extraneous directives in every code module you add. The problem is when you remove a reference mid-development, and all those extra usings you were never warned about suddenly become errors. That's where right-click | Organize Usings is very handy.
To amend myself, I don't know if VS2005 or VS2003 have the Organize Usings option out of the box, as it's been quite a while since I've used either of them. I apologize to the folks still using the older IDE's. As mentioned before, you have Power Commands and other tools at your disposal. If you don't like adding extra tools, upgrade to VS2008. If you're not using VS at all . . . good luck to you.
@Tom: "Even Visual Studio 2008 Standard *without* SP1 has the option to right-click, Organize Usings, Remove Unused Usings. How any self-respecting coder could miss this is beyond me." - which is why I specifically said "throughout a project" (although what I really meant was throughout a solution). With a large codebase the idea of opening up hundreds of .cs files and right clicking each one is ridiculous. It's nice to have it in the code editor but it'd be much nicer to have it globally.
"Bear in mind that VS only creates usings for existing references. If you removed unwanted references when you first create your project, you won't get all those extraneous directives in every code module you add."
This is a complete fabrication. If I remove the extraneous System.Data and System.Xml references when I initially create a project, then not only will the extraneous using statements still be there when I add another class, but Visual Studio will actually *add* the references that I already removed! Which is why I edited the default templates to get rid of that nonsense.
It'd be annoying if I temporarily commented out some code and then started getting warnings about the now-unused Using statements.
@Andy: You'll get exactly the same thing if you remove all uses of a local variable, but not the declaration. In the case of using directives it's extremely easy to get rid of that warning though - or you could just ignore it, if the commenting out really is temporary.
Seems the most obvious (and easiest?) solution is to enabled severity levels for code analysis rules (this would definitely be one) and make "Unused Using Statements" report as Information. The Error List already supports these levels, so why not use them.
As an extension of this would allow filtering which rules are reported as errors and which remain warnings when "warnings as errors" is set.
Just my two cents.
Not always unused usings are really unused. Parts of codes that are not being compiled due to macro directives #IF may need those "unused" usings when they actually being compiled.
Resharper can clean the unused usings (and other unused code parts) automatically throughout solution for you, btw.

Please help! I am 31 weeks pregnant and have placenta previa.....
I had an anterior placenta from the beginning but after getting an ultrasound yesterday, my doctor told me I have placenta previa and it looked like a complete placenta previa from the scan. I have to go to a specialist in 2 weeks for another ultrasound and 2nd opinion. I am wondering if anyone has had this and it moved? I also wonder since a c-section is likely, how is that gonna effect me wanting to breastfeed? Anyone who has been through this and would like to share with me, please do to help ease my mind.

I had it in my first pregnancy. It went away, but I still had to have a c-section due to the size of my baby. A c-section didn't cause any problems. I was up and about by the next morning and was able to fully care for my baby. My milk came in just fine within the first 48 hrs. However, if you have a c-section a week prior to your due date (as I didn't with my 2nd), your milk will take a little longer to come in (took nearly a week).posted 06/10/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a complete previa in my first pregnancy and it never moved. I had to have an emergency c-section at 33 weeks because of bleeding caused by the previa. Don't worry too much about it.....it's really not that bad. Just try to stay off of your feet as much as possible to try and prevent any big bleeds. You should be able to breastfeed immediately. The c section isn't a barrier to that. I also had a previa with my current pregnancy, but it did move, so don't lose hope. I hope this eases your mind a bit.posted 06/14/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

I know it's been around for a while, but it's still my favorite Adam and Eve video.
"S'up?, yeah, whatever, going over to the Tree of Knowledge, comin'?"

It says video not found for me :o( anyone else got a link?
