Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes: It's Over?!Sassy Smith
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been married since November 18, 2006 and are parents of one child together, Suri, 3 (Tom has two teen kids with ex Nicole Kidman), and all seems wonderful, right? Not so, according to sources. The couple are reportedly "close to splitting."
Why all the tension between Tom and Katie? Well, Tom wants another baby with Katie, but she's not ready to have another child yet. She does want to have more kids, but right now, is focused on her career.
An insider told Grazia mag, "The situation has gone from being a difficult relationship, fraught with problems that seemed solvable, to a very unhappy situation that could well end in a split. No one would be surprised if Katie was considering her options in a worst case scenario.
The source added, "Katie's father [Martin Holmes, a divorce attorney] would be able to advise her on the names of the top California-based divorce lawyers should she need them."
But, pals of the Cruises say the divorce rumors are just that – rumors. They say Katie would fight to make her relationship with Tom work. "It has often been claimed that Katie is controlled by Tom and that's not surprising given home much they adhere to the strict rules of Scientology.
"But Katie knows Tom is a good husband and, more importantly, a great father and he loves nothing more than to shower her and Suri with gifts and attention."
I'd have to agree. For all of Tom's weirdness at times (when it comes to Scientology), it's clear he loves his family and is a good daddy.

Running Time: 92 min.
Production Date: 01 / 1998
Director: Candida Royalle
Cast: Missy. Mickey G., Miss Sharon Mitchell, Tony Tedeschi, Herschel Savage, Chloe, and Tom Byron
Initial Expectations: The scene or two I've already watched from this movie really impressed me and gives me some good hope.
Initial Reaction: It's okay, but seems afraid to go all the way.
Who Should Watch It : Anybody who's more interested in plot than sex
Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants to see pop shots and penetrations
Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced for the most part, but a couple background noises do intrude into the movie. There are also a couple spots that appear to have been dubbed. The dubbing appears to have been very well done, but things still don't seem to quite line up like they should. The video is often a bit dark, and also has a bit of grain. I know this feature was made in the late nineties, but the video quality makes it look more like it was from the early nineties.
Music: The music is soft, very non-threatening, and often even romantic. It's pretty well balanced with the rest of the audio, but approaches being a little on the loud side. Also, the music isn't a constant throughout the movie. It disappears at times during the sex scenes so you can clearly hear the real action.
Menus: The main menu is nicely animated and gives a good first impression. The chapter menu is pretty standard and lets you choose a scene from a small clip of each scene and a scene number.
The Feature: Miss Sharon Mitchell lets Missy stay at her home while Missy tries to figure things out with her current relationship. When Sharon checks in on Missy, she's surprised to find that Missy hasn't peeped on the neighbors with the telescope she has set up by her patio door. After trying it once, Missy finds herself going to the telescope more and more, peeping on her neighbors and getting drawn into the mystery of one of the homes which is supposedly abandoned but has a telescope that moves to point at her.
Miss Sharon Mitchell starts things off with Herschel Savage while Missy watches them through the telescope. She knows full well that Missy's watching her, as she told Missy when she'd start laying it on Herschel before she left, and plays nicely to Missy and the camera. After stripping down and teasing Herschel a bit, Mitch lets him tongue her twat. She goes back to teasing a bit as she undresses Hershcel to suck him, riding his leg as he slides his cowboy boots off, stripping away his pants, and then giving him a bit of knob gobbling. Mitch forgets about Missy and the telescope as she starts fucking Herschel, and gets into the sex completely as they go through a couple positions and end things with an internal pop and a kiss. Although it does occasionally work for me, the internal pop didn't work at all for me this time. It just comes out as pump, grunt, pump, grunt and that's all. I know that it's a realistic ending for many couples, but it comes off as completely fake here and brings down the scene.
Tony Tedeschi shows Missy how much he misses her as he comes by to visit her in the second scene, while somebody watches them through a telescope. Tony lets his tongue pleasure all of Missy's body before she wraps her amazing mouth around his cock. They fuck missionary and cowgirl style before Tony acts like he pops inside her. It's an okay scene that didn't do much for me outside of Missy's amazing blowjob. The fucking was okay, but the camera work seemed to prefer focusing on things like Tony's shoulder rather than the fucking. On the plus side, you could actually see the penetration a fair amount of the time, which isn't too common in Candida's movies. In the end, this scene doesn't quite get up to average due to the camera work and what looks like a badly faked internal pop.
Tom Byron and Chloe team up for the penultimate scene, not knowing that Missy is watching them. They're supposed to go to a formal event, but Tom would rather wear one of Chloe's dresses than the tux he's supposed to. This scene starts off as a lot of fun, and continues as Chloe and Tom strip each other out of her clothes. Tom and Chloe give each other a quick oral warmup before Tom flops himself down on Chloe and thrusts his cock into her snatch. They move on to a bit of scissors and reverse cowgirl. Tom has Chloe watch his cock before he gushes into the air like Old Faithful, and then lets her drop down to get a taste. It's a really great scene that surprisingly, especially with these two people, doesn't contain any anal sex. Tom and Chloe also have great chemistry together, which helps to make this one heck of a fun and great scene. The only thing that's missing is Chloe breaking out a strap-on and treating Tom like the woman he wants to be.
Finally, Mickey G. and Missy hook up. He gives her directions for stripping and masturbating across the phone, which Missy gets into pretty well. He tells her to come up and see him, and has her strip for him again. He admires her ass, fingers it, and kisses it before letting her admire his body and suck his cock. He plays with her a little before they move on to fuck with some amazing chemistry before ending things with another internal pop. It's almost obvious that Mickey and Missy are married here with the chemistry they show. It's a hot and long scene, and probably the best one in the movie. It really reminded me a lot of Jonathan Morgan's excellent Tell Me What You Want, which took the feel of this scene and spread it over an entire movie.
Eyes of Desire feels like the missing link between Skinamax and hardcore porn. The plot isn't great, but it gives the movie a nice format and is treated very well by the cast. Missy does a great job as the central character, and shows that she can act as well as fuck. The use of the telescope also lets Candida Royalle bring in a bit of artistic shots, which work pretty well. Unfortunately, Candida's desire to keep things very soft and non-threatening doesn't let Eyes of Desire live up to its full potential. The scenes feel like they're being held back, and the passion that's normally between the people in the scenes isn't enough to help it take the final leap. It's hurt even more by the actual camera angles, which choose to focus on things like close-ups of a performer's side or shoulder rather than the fucking or giving a few distance shots, as well as an overabundance of internal pop shots. This gives many of the scenes an anti-climactic feel that hurts the overall movie. The last two scenes, however, really work well and end up bringing the entire movie a little above average. Eyes of Desire is a great start to a couples movie, having a nicely done plot and a lot of chemistry in the sex, but sadly doesn't take it all the way.
For another perspective on this DVD, please check out DeathIncarnate's review.
Extras: The photo gallery lasts about three and a quarter minutes with five seconds per okay looking photo. There's also preview of Eyes of Desire 2, website information, and a short message from Candida Royalle about the Femme line of films that's mostly Candida beating her own drum about her movies being able to be used educationally. Finally, there's outtakes and bloopers and a commentary from Candida.
The blooper reel lasts about two and a half minutes. It's a nice mix of what happens after the scene, flubbed lines, and sexual bloopers. It's a nice couple minutes, but the video quality leaves a bit to be desired. Roughly half of it has excessive grain.
Finally, there's Candida's commentary. It lasts about forty nine minutes and covers the scenes with Miss Sharon Mitchell and Herschel Savage, Chloe and Tom Byron, and the final scene between Missy and Mickey G. It's a pretty good commentary, but the audio was poorly balanced when it was mixed. This really holds back it back since Candida is barely audible during many points of the commentary, although Candida shows some great enthusiasm when you can hear her. She talks quite a bit about the shots in this movie, as well as her movies in general, including how she did them and what she likes about them. She also talks about what she likes about the performers and gives a little background on many of them. With the exception of the balance problem, t's a very nice commentary that gives a nice background into the making of Eyes of Desire and Candida Royalle's movies.
Themes: Straight, voyeurism, masturbation, cross-dressing, and anal (finger)
Raincoat Factor: Medium
Condom Usage: One scene, but the others are shown to be long term and married couples
Overall: Currently, most of the movies from Femme Productions can be found online for between $14 and $25 with several stores offering them near the low end. This is pretty fair for what you get here. The movie won't be for everybody, due to a soft feel and a lot of plot, but there's some very nice extras to help round it out. Sadly, the video is grainy enough to hold back the movie a bit, but the audio is good.
Note to Femme Productions / Adam & Eve: You've got a good start here, especially for the overall DVD, but toning things down isn't always the answer. If you'd make movies with a little more graphic scenes and keep the excellent chemistry you have here, I think you'd be just as well received.

Campaign of the Month: June 2014
Battletech : The Farscape Campaign
The District of Garcia
Industrialized district of Terramatrix
The District of Garcia is a a province of The Republic of Sangria, on Terramtrix in the System – Dumassas.
Population : 285,000
Capital : Ciudad Garcia
Ruler : Mayor Albertina Diego
Economy : Agriculture, Timber, Ranching, Silver, Bauxite, and Light Industry.
The local population consists of three distinct castes: The Darrians, the Terramatrix Indians and the Foreign Nationals. The Darrian population, roughly one-third of its total, are the tenant farmers and skilled labourers who are able to trace their bloodlines back to the Reunification War, and are of mixed Taurian and Davion blood. They are the only citizens of the state able to legally own land, and represent its middle class. The bulk of the population are local Terramatrix Indians, lower-class citizens who are natives of the planet, and have few rights or privileges. Many of those unsatisfied with the status-quo of the caste system have made their ways into the fringes of society, living in the wilderness and raiding Sangrian military convoys and bases for food, supplies and munitions. There are also several thousand Foreign Nationals (mostly Taurian or Davion) who represent the upper class of society, and constitute its corporate executives, bankers and industrialists. Recent governmental reforms, however, are blurring these caste lines.
The district consists of rough forest/jungles, an ever-widening central grassland, the barren rocky highlands of the Blue Mountains and the Atlantis Ocean along the eastern edges. The largest city of the district is Ciudad Garcia, or the City of Garcia, an important community for its burgeoning educational, industrial and service development. Other settlements in the district are numerous, but rarely larger than a village.
Dorado is a large boom-town along the western edge of the district, and nearby a new boom-town Diablo Mines has sprung up with the recent discovery of a vast bauxite deposit. Gaucho is a large central community in the heart of the grasslands, and the focus for a large series of ranches. Mercado is located along the eastern edge of the district, and is a growing community noteworthy for its burgeoning industry, boasting a pair of textile factories and a canning plant. Roughly in the center of the district is the growing community of Garrison, originally built to support a local military garrison, and recently becoming a center of education and military training efforts. Off along the south-western edge of the district is the large body of water, Lake Orlando, that boasts a single hydro-electric facility that remains important to the district as a power source. Near the dam is the village of Ourinhos, which supports the technicians and skilled laborers who look after the power generators so essential for the industry of the region.
Economy : Though long known for agriculture and timber, the economy is quickly becoming dominated by services. The district's economic progress is exemplified by its improved telecommunication system, and developing transportation infrastructure. Nevertheless, unemployment, government corruption, and inconsistent electric service remain major local problems. The district also has "marked income inequality". International migration (primarily refugees from San Marcos ) affects the District of Garcia greatly, as it receives increasing numbers of migrants seeking a better life in the factories and farms of this region.
Government : Until recently, Governor Ferdinand Dominica led the civil government of the district, but following the assassination of the nation's president, Hugo Vargas, he was implicated in the plot, and the subsequent civil war in the capital spilled into the district. Presently, the government of the district is over-seen by Mayor Albertina Diego, and she is the titular head of the local Sangrian Provisional Government (SPG). In the absence of higher government controls, she has begun sweeping district-wide reforms, including rural land grants to urban poor families. She has, however, retained the old government bureaucracy, though it is being "trimmed" of its traditional corruption.
Military : The local military is stronger than ever. Protected from external and internal threats, the district has numerous forces available to it.
Sangrian Army Command : Roughly a full regiment strong, the national army consists of the 4th (Motorized) Rifle Infantry Battalion – "Garcia's Own", the 19th (Motorized) Rifle Infantry Battalion – "Black Skulls", and their support battalion, the 20th Engineering Battalion "The Hammers of War".
Sangrian Naval Command : Consisting of various combat vessels, the Sangrian Naval Command provides protection of the district's waterways and coasts.
Sangrian Air Command : A collection of air transports, helicopters and strike fighters, the Sangrian Air Command has been re-organized by the civilian government, primarily as they began replacing older aircraft for newer, more capable models.
National Police Force : Known as the Policia Federales this unit provides internal protection from criminal elements.
Mercenary Forces : The possession of various landholds and other interests by * "The Iron Dingoes", has led them to permanently station one combined-arms battalion in their fortress at * Landhold : Garrison. In addition, they have another two mixed battalions that rotate through their primary base from contract to contract, making them a valuable defensive force in the district.
The district's past is closely tied to the nation as a whole, but until recently was a back-water district with few resources. The discovery of large quantities of silver, bauxite, and a growing timber industry have helped fill its coffers and brought off-world investment in developing its local industries. Even the recent failed invasion by First FIre and the civil war wracking the rest of the nation has done little to deter investment in the district or its industries.
At present, the district stands above the rest of the nation in importance, and has become a hot-spot for Terramatix Indian attacks, though bandit raids from other nation-states have slackened with the demise of most of its traditional enemies. The District of Garcia is now the center of a new emerging nation-state being built from the ashes of The Republic of Sangria, and its future remains unknown.

Community Notes
Jon Masters follows the recent foibles surrounding DRM – Digital Rights Management – and gives a roundup of the latest news from a variety of Linux community groups.
February was a month filled with discussions around DRM. News stories, blogs, editorials, LUG discussions – you name it – DRM was a hot topic. It all started when Apple CEO Steve Jobs posted a blog-style editorial on the Apple corporate website defending Apple's much-publicized use of DRM technology in products like iTunes and the iPod. His editorial was timed, in part, to coincide with reports of mounting criticism in Europe of the difficulties faced by third parties who want to interoperate with the "FairPlay" DRM technology Apple uses to lock up its digital media. Did I say "lock up"? I'm sorry, I meant "protect you from yourself."

It should be leaked very soon indeed. It seems they do toy around with the community over there too much. It's hard to filter thru what's true and what's not over there. Thank Goodness for BBOS!

Oh boy! More juicy gossip which raises a question in my mind and perhaps somebody here will be able to answer.
---Is it typical for RIM to issue OS's with the same number for different models? I was of the impression that .152 was a released OS for the 8900 in Saudi Arabia. It would seem odd that RIM would be naming a different OS for a different model with the same version number. Somebody? Anybody?

A small community has stepped up to the plate following one family's tragedy, raising thousands Saturday in support with a rummage sale.
A motorcycle accident killed one Skrzyniarz family member, leaving another seriously injured and out of work.
To support the family, organizers asked the community for donations to host a rummage sale and say they were overwhelmed with the results.
They expect to have raised $4,000 so far, but the community isn't just coming for bargains.
"We had people that came in and bought a $200 cup of coffee," said Cynthia Rahoi. "Another gal just bought a hot dog for $50."
The sale will continue Sunday at Prime Assemblies in Crystal Falls at 9 a.m. until noon. They still have quite a few items for sale, including larger furniture items, like TVs and a dining room table and chairs.

Rahima Foundation's Philosophy of Operation
Rahima Foundation, as an organization operates on some foundational principles that were introduced by its founder Habibe Husain.
Serving our Creator by serving His creation
Rahima Foundation is a local 501 C(3) Charitable and Educational Foundation
We serve the people in need in our local communities regardless of religion, race, gender, or nationality
We provide uncooked food (perishable and non‐perishable), zakat, scholarships, and other services
Make intentions and leave the rest to Him. Allow Him to operate through you. Obey Him because He is our Gracious Master and we are His grateful servants.
The strongest house is where the foundation is placed one layer at a time allowing for the first to solidify before the second is laid on. This has always been the way Rahima has operated. Although it makes for a slow process, nonetheless the product is sounder.

It was my first Soul Fly Day ever. Momma got me a new black dress and told me it was all right to cry. Katie's dress had white ruffles and silver flies stitched into it. She pointed at my wood fly and called us poor.
There were so many people there was barely enough room for the shaman to get to Gramma. Everyone got real quiet so we could hear him say words I didn't understand. Gramma's Soul Fly came out of her mouth and started flying over us. It was like a paper doll, only just black. It landed on my head and Momma cheered and we sang Soul Fly Day songs. Katie whined about how she should have got the blessing because her fly was so pretty.
And that's how my painting won first prize at the fair.

Twiggy's legs are perfectly free of muscle.
She may be this year's phenom, sneers Time,
but those legs are like two white worms.
Wider than it is long, her gold corduroy skirt
sprouts her thighs, scarcely bigger than her ankles.
She is an English girl who drinks Cokes, not teas.
Is this what girls should look like? The concept teases
at me. Her spaghetti shape is nothing like my muscles.
Twiggy's a waif with sad eyes. Her arms dangle
like Baryshnikov doing Petruschka, old-time.
She is the new natural. That must be why her skirts
hang on her willow waist, sinuous like a worm's.
Now my gym teacher laughs so hard I squirm.
As we practice, she gasps, "Ladies, ladies, don't tease!"
We are pretending to exit a VW bug, wearing miniskirts.
Mrs. Patterson's shorts reveal eye-popping muscles
(you just didn't see many buffed women at the time)
and she shows us, again, how our knees have to angle.
Twiggy's hair is short as a boy's, straight as right angles.
I have Shirley Temple ringlets that twist like worms.
I Scotch tape my bangs flat, but all night isn't enough time
to tame my natural curl. At least we're freed from teasing
our hair to Marie Antoinette heights. Seems some of us'll
never have the good hair, or the right legs for the skirt.
Twiggy's furry eyelashes are longer than her skirt.
I study her photo for hours, my head at an angle
that is guaranteed to spasm my neck muscles.
She is pale, blank as a peeled egg. Nothing to be wormed
out of her. She stands for that moment in the sixties
when the revolution hit dress stores. Talk about timing.
I've got homework to do. I write a book report, beating time
to Revolution on my sturdy calf. My history teacher is curt
about late papers. He grades strict. I'm shy and ill at ease
with him. In his class, even mean kids turn into angels.
That spring we studied all about the Diet of Worms.
Austere Luther must have had some serious fervent muscle.
Time would let me figure my own angle on being a girl,
how to leave off skirting around like some outcast worm.
I had the muscle to use my eyes and still cross all the t's.

How can you generate a higher price for your divestment?
Corporates can benefit from private equity expertise – learn about divestment strategy and execution leading practices.
Convergence in media and entertainment
The media and entertainment sectors are becoming ever more entwined. Capital Insights explores the impact that this is having on M&A.
Need to make better and more-informed decisions about how to strategically manage capital and transactions in a changing world? Let us help.
The Capital Agenda puts your capital needs at the heart of our strategy and focuses on the issues that matter most to you:
Raising capital
A company's ability to raise capital quickly and effectively is integral to its growth potential and financial well-being. This is true in good times and in bad.
Whatever the motivation for raising capital, companies can access new funds more effectively if they have planned ahead. They should know how and where they could access capital, if they need it.
The focus should be:
- Fundraising (equity and debt): IPO readiness, right issues, PE, private placement and capital markets
- Optimizing funding structures
- Asset divestment
- Infrastructure projects
- Cost- and tax-efficient structures
Investing capital
Investors in your organization want to know why: why this transaction, why at this price and why now?
Complicating matters, differing stakeholders increasingly bring differing expectations of investments and returns.
The focus should be:
- Acquisition and alliances
- Delivery of synergies and effective integration
- Planning and structuring transactions to optimize stakeholder return
- Focused due diligence to mitigate risk and drive value
- Asset valuations
- Cost- and tax-efficient structures
Preserving capital
Every business needs to continuously assess the potential impact of evolving market conditions on the performance of its operations and its capital base. Even in a recovering market, companies believing themselves in a stable position can find their situation can change.
The preservation of capital requires that companies continuously scour their strategies, markets and balance sheets to reassess strengths and weaknesses.
The focus should be:
- Stress and distress — e.g., liquidity issues and turnaround plan
- Customer and supplier analysis
- Preserving tax assets and minimizing costs
- Refinancing and restructuring debt, equity and other obligations
- Dealing with stakeholder relationships and pressure
- Dispute resolution
Optimizing capital
Today's economic climate is forcing businesses to candidly assess their financial fitness.
More than a mere review of operations, companies today must conduct objective assessments of the alignment of their business strategies.
The focus should be:
- Optimizing asset portfolio
- Delivery of synergies and effective integration
- Improving working capital and releasing cash
- Optimizing capital structure
- Optimizing tax and corporate structure

The JRC's Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC) has provided input to the 2008 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) issued today at the International Economic Forum in Davos by Yale and Columbia Universities.
The JRC's Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC) has provided input to the 2008 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) issued today at the International Economic Forum in Davos by Yale and Columbia Universities.
The level of innovation in regions varies considerably across almost all EU countries. This is one of the main findings of the 2009 Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS), published today by the JRC's Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC), together with the Commission's Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry and the Maastricht University (MERIT).
The European Commission has adopted a Communication on reinforcing the Union's Disaster Response capacity. In order to respond to the growing challenges posed by natural and man-made disasters, the communication proposes that the European Union strengthens its abilities at home and abroad to provide civil protection and humanitarian assistance. The Commission has undertaken a screening exercise of all its existing resources and puts forward as a first step an action plan of specific measures to be implemented before the end of 2008. As a concrete example, the communication includes a specific focus on how to improve the Union's response to forest fires.
The JRC is supporting the EU's disaster response and civil protection activities in many areas. The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) is one of the cornerstones of this action plan. EFFIS, managed by the JRC Institute for Environment ans Sustainability (IES), provides the fire danger forecast (currently up to 6 days forecast) during the fire season helping in improving preparedness for forest fire fighting. In addition, EFFIS monitors the forest fire situation in Europe through the provision of information of active fires (hot spots) and the rapid assessment of forest fire damages in the countries. This information is critical for the Member States and the Commission in cases of catastrophic fire events (e.g. Portugal 2003 or Greece 2007) and facilitates the work of the Union's Monitoring and Information Center in is work of coordination of forest fire fighting.
The JRC IES also develops the European Flood Alert System (EFAS), that will be capable of providing medium-range flood simulations across Europe with a lead-time (time between the detection and the arrival of the flood) of between 3 to 10 days.
With its expertise in satellite images analysis and information technologies, the JRC Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC) is conducting several activities to provide scientific and technical support in crisis situations. IPSC's work supports different phases, from crisis preparedness to damage assessment, including also early warning, alerting and situational monitoring. Some recent examples of IPSC's activities in support to Crisis Management are:
Following the spread of major forest fires in Corsica earlier this month, French authorities made a request for additional fire fighting aircraft through the European Commission's Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC), based in Brussels. The MIC responded by providing European reserve fire-fighting aircraft within three hours of the request.
A recently published JRC report makes recommendations on the creation of a global index to monitor the progress of climate-resilient development policies. The index should include metrics on extreme climate events, climate vulnerability and adaptive capacity, taking into account the climate vulnerability of ecosystem services and the role of natural resources in climate adaptation. As a first step towards building the index, JRC scientists propose to construct a platform which will act as interface between science and policy on climate-resilient development.
A JRC-designed path for the visually impaired was inaugurated today in Melsungen, Germany. The new path will enable a visually impaired person to move around independently in the historical centre of Melsungen using a walking cane, which recognises the signals emitted by microchips placed in the pavement.
A novel approach to fishery management has been presented during the stakeholders meeting of the Assessment for All (a4a) initiative, held today and tomorrow at the JRC's premises in Ispra. Under this initiative, the JRC developed a new assessment model for the rapid assessment of fish stocks.
Favourable weather conditions and an increase in the planted area farmed should lead to a total cereals harvest close to 301m tonnes for this year in the European Union, 43m tonnes more than in 2007. This represents an increase of 16% on the 2007 harvest and 9% on the past five years' average production. This forecast, published today by the European Commission, is based on an updated analysis by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), using an advanced crop yield forecasting system.
The European Commission has presented the latest data on Member States' progress towards the 2010 goals they have set themselves for their education systems under the Lisbon strategy. This annual "indicators and benchmarks" report looks at individual countries' performances in key areas such as completion of secondary education, early school leavers, low achievers in reading literacy, graduates in maths, science and technology and the participation of adults in lifelong learning activities.
The key finding of the 2008 report is that overall Europe is making progress in all areas with the exception of low achievers in reading. However, though education and training has been improving steadily in EU Member States since 2000, progress will need to be faster in almost all areas in order to meet targets by 2010.
The report was prepared by the Directorate-General for Education and Culture in close cooperation with Eurostat, the Eurydice European Unit and the JRC's Centre for Research on Lifelong Learning based on indicators and benchmarks (CRELL). With its expertise in econometrics and statistics in the education field, CRELL has extensively contributed to the whole report. In particular, in the chapter dedicated to lifelong learning, CRELL developed and analysed a composite measure of participation in lifelong learning for European countries based on Eurostat data.
CRELL was established in 2005 within the JRC's Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen in order to gather expertise in the field of indicator-based evaluation and monitoring of education and training systems. CRELL combines fields of economics, econometrics, education, social sciences and statistics in an interdisciplinary approach to research.
The Annual reports 2007 from the JRC Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC) and the Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU) are now available. These reports give an overview of the activities, accomplishments and resources related to the Institutes' work carried out in 2007.

The Indianapolis Colts have started the season 1-1 against the NFC North, but they will now start playing the meaningful division games, and that starts this weekend with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Blaine Gabbert looked good against the Vikings in week one, but took a huge step backwards in week two against the Texans top ranked defense. This is only his second season, but he has a lot of room to grow before he makes the Jaguars a significant contender. Maurice Jones-Drew hasn't played up to his standards, and this is largely due to him holding out during the entire off season and preseason. The Jaguars defense has been sub-par through the first two weeks as well. This was supposed to be the strength of the team, but they've struggled to stop the run, giving up nearly 170 yards per game on the ground. That average will come down after this weekend because the Colts are not capable of running the ball. The offensive line has been decimated with injuries and they've only managed 7...

Iron Storm en
Iron Storm is a video game for the Sega Saturn. It was released in 1996 in North America. Iron Storm is a strategy game that takes place within the context of World War II. The game's general premise is to allow players to pick a side (United States, Nazi Germany, or Japan) and then work their way across several battles within the war. The game takes place in both the Pacific Theatre and European Theatre. In addition, if a player wins certain battles then the path of the war changes. For example, Nazi Germany winning the Battle of Britain will allow for an eventual invasion of America, as will Japan defeating the United States at the Battle of Midway. During battles in campaign mode, the player mobilizes a large variety of customizable units (tanks, aircraft, submarines, and warships) across a hexagon-shaped grid in order to defeat the opposing Allied or Axis forces controlled by the game's AI. In addition, as time progresses you are able to upgrade individual units either based on experience levels or as a blanket technology upgrade. Experimental weaponry is used in some later battles, including some German jet aircraft like the Messerschmidt Me 262. The map system itself is [ - ]

Forest Service Planning under Way
Byline: Susan Palmer The Register-Guard
Anyone interested in a new planning directive for the U.S. Forest Service can check out a live Webcast on the topic this week and attend a roundtable discussion being held in Portland next week.
This isn't a revision of a management plan for an individual national forest or even a region: It's the guiding document that tells the Forest Service what the agency must consider and how it must engage the public as it makes land management decisions all across the country.
To understand the significance of the effort, look no further than the northern spotted owl, that controversial denizen of the very oldest Pacific Northwest forests. When the owl was listed as endangered in 1990, it was enforcement of a Forest Service planning rule that brought logging on Oregon's national forests to a virtual standstill.
Mandated by Congress in 1976 and put into practice by the Forest Service in 1982, the National Forest Management Act required that fish and wildlife habitat be managed to maintain viable populations of existing native species.
It was language judges couldn't ignore, said Andy Stahl, executive director of the nonprofit conservation group Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics, and the key to the lawsuits that halted logging and eventually led to the development of the regional Northwest Forest Plan that's still in place today, governing wildlife protection and logging on the federal forests that comprise millions of acres in Oregon.
The 1982 planning rule is a dense document that includes the way the Forest Service must evaluate recreation, timber, mineral, wilderness, cultural and historic resources as it manages forests.
Administrations going back to President Reagan have tried to change the planning rule, Stahl said. But alterations by the Clinton administration in 2000 were too complex to implement, and revisions in 2005 and 2008 by the Bush Administration got shot down in the courts.
Now the Obama administration is going to try its hand at making changes.
The 1982 version needs an update for several reasons, said Phil Mattson director of resource planning and monitoring for the Forest Service in the Pacific Northwest region.
Its analytical requirements aren't particularly useful, he said, and it doesn't address the contribution of forests to the social and economic well-being of communities. It also is silent on the use of science.
Stahl agrees that the analytical benchmarks (which Stahl said he wrote while working as a timber industry lobbyist at the time) should be scrapped and the overall language simplified. But the standards that protect the environment should be kept, he said.
"They have substantive mandates that are enforceable in a court of law," he said.
Advocates for the timber industry would like to see alterations that reflect changing conditions on the forest, said Tom Partin, president of the American Forest Resource Council.
"We'd like to see a balance in the forest planning process," Partin said.
"We're reminding people that balance and sustainability are important, as well as survivability for rural economies," he said.
National forests represent 70 to 80 percent of the land ownership in many western rural counties, Partin said.
The American Forest Resource Council has submitted written comments including a request for a revision on the species viability rule. …

Birth of a Hero by TylerCreatesWorldsWatch
©2012-2016 TylerCreatesWorlds
So I was trying to make an early view of a solar system, shortly after a new stars bursts into life. I could have done a lot more with this but I'm happy with how it turned out. I probably should have added a few more forming planets but I'm lazy.
Nasa photos of some hurricanes were used (but not harmed) in the making of this.
**I'll upload a wallpaper pack of this a little later**
Nasa photos of some hurricanes were used (but not harmed) in the making of this.
**I'll upload a wallpaper pack of this a little later**
This image is a great representation of something we don't see very often which is the origins of a solar system. The swirling gases and the shadow cast by the planet onto the gas are great additions to the piece that give it that realistic feel. However, I can't help but feel that this image represents a very calm formation of a solar system (which could be what you're after) instead of a more violent upbringing (coming from the widespread descriptions of planetary bodies colliding and forming larger planets, space debris impacting the crust of forming planets, etc.). To me, the gaseous mass also seems to be lacking volume and looks rather flat. I think what you have here is a great start to an image that, with a little more refining, could evolve into something spectacular and eye-opening.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
22 out of 22 deviants thought this was fair.
This is amazing. Really great work. I was wondering if I can borrow this image for a story I'm working on? ALL credit will be given to you, as I don't like taking credit for what is not mine. I'm a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due.
It's great! Love it!
This is really beautiful. I think my head is playing with me - If you look at the nucleus of the galaxy it looks like its rotating.
Habatchii says;
very well...
very well...
Love this picture. Great shadowing effects. Well done. Favorited.
Gorgeous work. I love the deep rich colors and overall concept.
Great picture. I like that you did something so different. BTW, nice touch with the title and the font! Not sure if anyone else caught that yet but I think it's cool.
Thanks man. Yeah, theres not enough early space art. Im glad some one noticed. Its basically my favorite font. It kinda inspired the piece because I've been wanting to use that as a title for some time now, I just need something fitting.
Big bang? Oh, It's so beautiful.
try big bang???o.O
This is so very beautiful... great work!
A lovely piece. Wonderful job.
It's always better to say 'okay, I'm happy with this picture' rather than say 'It's not perfect yet!' and potentially make it worse in the end.
I found my new desktop!!
I hope you enjoy it.
What a great idea, using hurricanes! Excellent artwork too!
I love this, I am really impressed!
Great Work .. ..
Very beautiful, for sure. Instant
lol 'not harmed'
XD 'stellar' work as usual!
