"Burundi: Violence and Security"
There is a fragile peace in Burundi following the killing of a senior military official, his wife and daughter, last Monday. President Pierre Nkurunziza has condemned the killing and given his security forces a seven-day deadline to find Brigadier General Athanase Kararuza's killers. Kararuza was a military adviser in the Office of the Vice-President. He previously worked as a deputy commander of an international peace force in the Central African Republic. Attacks and counter-attacks between Nkurunziza's security forces and his opponents have escalated since April 2015, when he announced a disputed bid for a third term as president. Members of the Burundian diaspora and exiled civil society leaders demonstrated recently in front of the United Nations, urging the international community to send a robust UN police force to help protect civilians as their country enters a second year of post-election violence.
Join us for our live, one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast of "Straight Talk Africa" when host Shaka Ssali and his guests discuss the violence and security situation in Burundi.

Flea Bottom
this wiki
- "An open heart is what you'll get in Flea Bottom if you're not careful, my dear."
- ―Cersei Lannister to Margaery Tyrell
Flea Bottom is the poorest slum district in the city of King's Landing, located on the western side of Rhaenys' Hill. It is a maze-like warren of narrow streets, ramshackle buildings, and dark alleys.
Many of its inhabitants subsist primarily on a meager, slow-cooked stew containing meat of questionable origins known as a "Bowls of brown."[1]
Notable residents
- Ser Davos Seaworth was born in Flea Bottom, the son of a poor crabber, but escaped that harsh life as soon as he could by becoming a smuggler.[2]
- Gendry was born to a tavern wench in Flea Bottom and spent much of his childhood there, which was made even harder after his mother died when he was very young. When royal agents discovered that he was secretly a bastard son of King Robert Baratheon, however, it was decided to look after the boy's well-being by secretly arranging for him to work as a blacksmith's apprentice for Tobho Mott. Gendry was happy to leave Flea Bottom, moving to the better district of the city near Tobho Mott's armory on the Street of Steel.[3]
- Armeca the prostitute working at the high-end brothel in King's Landing owned by Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish feigns being unable to speak the Common Tongue in order to seem more exotic to her clients, but Ros pointed out that she's actually from Flea Bottom in King's Landing itself.[4]
Season 1
Arya Stark takes refuge in Flea Bottom after fleeing the Red Keep. She kills a pigeon in the Street of Flour where the bakers ply their trade, as birds are attracted to the crumbs. When she tries to barter it to a baker for bread, he refuses. Arya is in Flea Bottom when she hears the crowd say her father is being taken to the Sept of Baelor.[5]
Season 2
While talking to Daisy, a new prostitute in Petyr Baelish's brothel, Ros identifies Armeca as being from Flea Bottom, but notes that she likes to pretend she is from more exotic climes and doesn't speak the Common Tongue of Westeros.[6]
As the royal family is returning from the docks where they saw off Princess Myrcella Baratheon for her voyage to Dorne, the starving smallfolk of the city hurl insults at Joffrey, and ultimately someone hurls cow excrement in his face. Joffrey brashly shouts for his guards to "kill them all!", sparking off a city-wide riot. Flea Bottom is badly affected by the food riots.[7]
Season 3
Lady Margaery Tyrell stops in Flea Bottom unexpectedly to visit an orphanage and interact with the children. Her servants pass out bread and toys, earning her the love of Flea Bottom's Smallfolk. That evening, Joffrey and Cersei visit Margaery and her brother Loras Tyrell, for a small dinner party. Cersei admonishes Margaery's boldness and reminds her that her impromptu charity work took place on the same streets where the royal party was assaulted weeks earlier.[8]
Behind the scenes
The Flea Bottom scenes in Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed at the Walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The riot scenes were filmed at the Gate of Pila.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Flea Bottom was the home of the famous knight Ser Duncan the Tall, who ended up as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Davos Seaworth also grew up in Flea Bottom, the son of a poor crabber. He left as soon as he could by becoming a smuggler operating in Blackwater Bay and the Narrow Sea. The books do state that Gendry was born to a tavern girl in King's Landing, though they haven't specified that he lived in Flea Bottom before he came to work for Tobho Mott. Logically, though, as the son of a tavern girl he probably wasn't living in good conditions before he began to work for Mott as a teenager.
It is a dismal and disreputable place. The alleys are narrow and buildings lean toward each other. King's Landing was rapidly constructed within the first century of rule by the Targaryen dynasty, to serve as a capital city for their new unified realm. This rapid expansion didn't keep pace with organized "city-planning", resulting in numerous slums, of which Flea Bottom is the worst. Many of these slum districts are poorly organized, ugly, and filthy because their placement wasn't thought out during the rush to slap down new buildings. In contrast, the second largest city in Westeros, Oldtown in the Reach, is thousands of years old, but grew only in incremental steps which were well planned out beforehand, resulting in it being a much better organized and beautiful city without the squalid slums of King's Landing, while being only slightly smaller than the capital itself.
Survival on the streets of Flea Bottom is tough and hardening. The district is full of tanneries (which make the air stink), cheap brothels, low-class inns, winesinks, and pot-shops serving meager bowls of brown. Arya finds an establishment in Flea Bottom where she can take a pigeon and get half of it back cooked, in exchange for the other half. Before that she had to eat it raw. When Arya left the Red Keep she took a bundle of clothes and things to sell, but they were stolen the first night she slept in Flea Bottom (she was sleeping on top of Needle or would have lost it too).
A large part of Flea Bottom burns down the night following the riot that Joffrey started. Cersei Lannister later recounted the riot during a dinner party in the Season 3 premiere, "Valar Dohaeris". This scene does not occur in the books and introduces a minor discrepancy: the docks of King's Landing are located on the south side of the city, along the Blackwater River (the books explicitly state that it is the Blackwater), while Flea Bottom is located north of the Red Keep. Thus when the royal party was returning from the docks, they actually didn't pass through Flea Bottom itself - the novel explicitly states that they took a road known as "the Hook" to start ascending Aegon's High Hill itself, which the Red Keep is located at the top of. Flea Bottom is located further north of this, on the southern side of Rhaenys's Hill. That being said, the crowds of peasants and refugees lining the streets as the royal party passed were assuredly from the slums of Flea Bottom, they just weren't physically in Flea Bottom at the time. The riot then spread throughout the city, and was particularly bad in Flea Bottom where so many angry and displaced people were. In the TV series, Cersei mentions being attacked "in Flea Bottom", which wouldn't be entirely accurate, though it can easily be reconciled that she meant to convey the more complicated statement "attacked by peasants from Flea Bottom, who at the time were swarming the road back from the docks and not actually in Flea Bottom" etc.

STMicroelectronics Expands Strong Lineup of Broadcast Set-Top Box Products Built on a Unified Platform for Cost-Effective, Fast Time-to-Market
New products deliver unique balance of CPU power, video quality, full security, and reduced Bill-Of-Materials for feature-rich, popular-priced broadcast equipment
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and a top player in ICs for digital TVs and set-top boxes, has added new devices to its latest range of set-top box system-on-chip ICs for high-definition terrestrial, cable, IP, Over-The-Top and satellite equipment.
Expanding ST's off ering of interactive digital video recorder (DVR) -capable solutions, the new STiH253 full-featured digital video broadcast device integrates a single DVB-T2 demodulator for highly integrated terrestrial set-top box.
Another addition in the Company's set-top box portfolio, the STiH271EL , is perfectly suited for price-sensitive markets requiring basic zapper functionality without compromise in video performance.
The center of ST's expanded family of set-top box (STB) system-on-chip (SoC) ICs is an enhanced processing engine with integrated on-chip features for more efficient end-product design. This robust processing engine enables operators to use lower-cost memory while meeting the latest low-power objectives. These STB SoCs support the full range of HD broadcast and multimedia codecs, hybrid and IP standards, as well as the latest security and content-protection standards with integrated critical middleware stacks from the leading providers.
ST's chip family expands access to HD zappers, PVRs, Internet Protocol (IP) clients and dual-HD boxes supporting connected-TV services (Internet Protocol TV), information channels and Over-The-Top (OTT) video, gaming, catch-up TV and social networking. The new devices enrich ST's existing line-up of SoCs for generic IP ( STiH207 ), HD cable/terrestrial ( STiH273 ), and HD satellite ( STiH237 , STiH239 ) set-top box applications. Pin and software compatibility throughout the family enables OEMs to optimize their design effort across multiple customer/operator cases.
"Across-the-board compatibility of ST's family of set-top box SoCs is a key advantage for Jiuzhou," said Huang Wei, Sales Director for Jiuzhou, a leading Chinese set-top box maker. "This uniform model design shortened our development cycle allowing us to address simultaneously the hybrid satellite, cable and terrestrial markets."
"Replicating the success of previous joint projects, ST's super-integrated, secure and optimized HD cable chipset with robust security delivers seamless support for our popular Inspur middleware, allowing great user experience in entry-level set-top boxes," said Wei Cui, General Manager of Digital Media Division at Inspur, a leading set-top box manufacturer in China.
The new additions in ST's set-top box SoC portfolio – STiH253 and STiH271EL - are sampling now to lead customers, in 27 x 27mm and 23 x 23mm BGA packages.

Many artists have idolized Andy Warhol, but few have had the guts to walk up to him at a signing and ask for a job. Such was the all-or-nothing approach of illustrator and artist Robert Risko, then 22, now known only by his last name. "I was pretty ballsy back then," says the world's most celebrated caricaturist, 56, who like the King of Pop Art grew up in Western Pennsylvania. "Of course Warhol was the hero of Pittsburgh. He was my role model. I mean, my God! When I saw his Marilyn Monroe, I thought…I get it."
Risko's talent for composition emerged when he was five years old in profiles he drew of his sister and again a few years later in sketches of his teacher, Sister Monica, at his Catholic middle school. At Kent College in Ohio, he thought he'd be a fine art painter and was influenced by Van Gogh and the Cubists. Yet friends always asked for his caricatures, and he found himself earning pocket money by drawing funny faces for passersby on the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore and Provincetown, Rhode Island. "But I wasn't happy drawing caricatures for people on the street for $5 when I knew I had talent as a painter. So when I moved to New York, in 1976, I said, I'm going to fuse these things together. I'm going to take my love for Cubism and combine it with the ability to do likenesses and raise the level of taste of the average man." The result was a style influenced by Picasso, the Bauhaus movement, and 1930s Vanity Fair caricaturists Miguel Covarrubias and Paolo Garretto.
Which brings us to Warhol. "I met him while I was out for the day on Fire Island and he was signing copies of Interview with Halston," Risko says. He waited in line with his copy, and when it was his turn to get Warhol's signature, he showed him his portrait of Diana Ross. "And he said, 'It looks exactly like her. That's great.' And I said, 'Well, I think I should work for your magazine.' That was that." It was 1978 and he started doing caricatures for Interview, including an infamous cover of Dolly Parton. In the early 1980s, Risko was working part-time as a retoucher at Vanity Fair when the magazine poached him from Warhol's Interview, much like they poached Annie Leibovitz from Rolling Stone. In the past four decades at VF, he has drawn politicians, actors, artists, divas, and anyone else of note; since 2002 his work has appeared on the back page of the magazine, with its Proust Questionnaire. His work has also appeared in The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Playboy, and Esquire. Next up is a series of specially commissioned pieces for the Macy's flagship in New York, which is currently undergoing a $40 million refurbishment. His portraits of Macy's pioneers, like Madonna and her daughter, Lourdes, Florence Henderson, Al Roker, and Martha Stewart, will be hung in the top tier eatery, Stella 34 Trattoria.
What makes someone easy to draw? Clearly defined and contrasting facial features. Risko says he looks at the architecture of the face, which goes beyond decoration and makeup. "I think that's what makes my work stand out, it's anatomically focused," he says, adding that sometimes subjects don't recognize themselves at first. "Without all of the superficial icing, some people don't know who they are." Certain blondes, like Goldie Hawn and Jennifer Aniston, can be tough, because their public images rely so much on makeup (can you imagine Goldie without her false lashes?) or they have very soft features. But, he says, someone like Bill Cosby or Meryl Streep is fun to do.
One perk of being drawn by Risko is that his medium naturally flatters. "I'm the best skin doctor a person could ever have," he laughs, likening his work to Egyptian hieroglyphs. "I'm convinced that Queen Nefertiti was a squat, four-foot-tall, short-necked woman who told whoever was drawing her picture, 'Give me a longer neck. Longer!' Sometimes I think I'm in the same business."

Iowa City, IA (Sports Network) - The Indiana Hoosiers' first true road game of
the season also happens to be their Big Ten Conference opener, as they spend
New Year's Eve tangling with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Indiana, which had ruled the land as the No. 1 team for the first month and
change of the 2012-13 campaign, brings a 12-1 record into its league
lidlifter, and the team is riding a three-game win streak since suffering its
lone defeat versus Butler in overtime on Dec. 15. During their current run of
success, the Hoosiers have blasted the likes of Mount St. Mary's, Florida
Atlantic and Jacksonville by an average of 36.3 ppg. This is the first of two
straight IU will play away from home, and the team will play just nine true
road games this season.
Iowa has had similar success to its counterpart today, posting an 11-2 record
for its best start since the 2004-05 season. However, the Hawkeyes haven't
beaten many teams that anyone would consider to be of high quality, save for
perhaps Iowa State (80-71). Still, you can only play the games laid in front
of you so there is reason for UI fans to be excited as they hope their beloved
teams' non-conference mark is a precursor of things to come. The Hawkeyes are
riding a six-game win streak, with their latest victory coming in an 80-50
rout of Coppin State.
Indiana owns a 95-74 advantage in the all-time series with Iowa, but the
Hawkeyes won the last meeting, 78-66, on Feb. 19, 2012.
Indiana leads all Division I teams in scoring (89.4 ppg), and its 30.2 scoring
margin is also tops in the nation. Add one of the country's best field goal
percentages (.520), 3-point percentages (.421) and rebounding margins (+13.2)
to a defensive effort that allows just 59.2 ppg on typical shooting outputs of
.364 overall and .306 from beyond the arc and it's not surprising to see the
Hoosiers having the kind of success they are to this point. Cody Zeller (16.4
ppg, 7.9 rpg, 17 blocks) continues to pace the club in scoring, rebounding and
blocked shots, and he is joined by highly-productive teammates Victor Oladipo
(13.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg), Christian Watford (12.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg), Will Sheehy (12.4
ppg, 4.1 rpg) and Jordan Hulls (11.8 ppg, 3.8 apg) to give coach Tom Crean one
of the most talented core groups in the nation. In their final non-conference
game of the regular season, which also put the wraps on a lengthy eight-game
homestand, the Hoosiers blew out Jacksonville, 93-59. Hulls paced the team
with 20 points, while Zeller added 16, Oladipo and Sheehy each had 14 and
Watford chipped in with 11 for an Indiana squad that drained 11-of-25 3-points
attempts while shooting 50.9 percent from the field overall. A 24-5 edge in
points from the foul line was also key, as was the fact that the Dolphins
committed 20 turnovers.
While Iowa doesn't have the kind of impressive stats Indiana does, the
Hawkeyes have performed well this season, relying on a pair of double-digit
scorers as they go in search of their first seven-game winning streak since
2004. Roy Devyn Marble (15.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg) and Aaron White (13.6 ppg,
6.5 rpg) have been productive players for coach Fran McCaffery's club, which
averages 76.9 ppg while permitting just 61.2 ppg. Further evidence that UI is
enjoying a banner year is the fact that the team ranks first in the Big Ten in
3-point FG percentage defense (.278) and third in overall FG percentage
defense (.367). White was high man for the Hawkeyes in their 30-point win over
Coppin State, as he was a near-perfect 7-of-8 from the field in netting 20
points. Gabriel Olaseni came off the bench to contribute 14 points and seven
rebounds, while Marble tacked on 11 points. As a team, Iowa made good on 51.7
percent of its total shots, but missed every one of its 17 3-point attempts
and converted only 18-of-31 free throws. The Hawkeyes were also guilty of 20
turnovers, but were fortunate in that the Eagles were just as careless (19
miscues) while shooting a dismal 29.2 percent from the floor. Iowa dominated
the low post, easily winning the rebounding battle (54-29) while outscoring
CSU in the paint (50-16).

A couple of months ago, KPL started to circulate Blu-ray DVDs. Since then many patrons who do not own a Blu-ray player have checked one out on accident. I understand how this can be confusing since a standard DVD and Blu-ray DVD look exactly alike! The trick is to look at the case. A Blu-ray case is smaller, usually labeled with the Blu-ray logo, and is the color blue. We will be getting more Blu-ray DVDs each month in both the Hot Picks and circulating collections.

We drove down the middle fork of the John Day on Sunday, searching for a snow-free hike and the early buttercup.
We found mud, mainly.
And although there were no buttercups in evidence we did see a few sprigs of that other yellow bellwether, desert parsley, its bright new blossoms about the size of a nickel.
We left the parsley.
(Which, when I think about it, is the usual fate for parsley, whether it graces a Grant County hillside or a restaurant plate.)
We intended to leave the mud too, but a skim of clods clung to our boots, like barnacles on a long-beached boat, even though the last quarter mile back to the car we walked on a paved road.
No mud, I've noticed, is quite so stubborn as the mud that forms when the frost has recently gone out of the ground.
To our good fortune, Oregon, generous as ever with its flora and fauna, atoned for fouling our footwear by supplying a bald eagle that posed for one perfect instant against a patch of blue sky, and a brief but rejuvenating scent of sun-warmed ponderosa pine.
If the chemists who strive, with their nasty artificial concoctions, to conjure the full complement of nature's aromas ever confine that particular essence in a spray can ... well that will be a company to own stock in.
I doubt that dismal day is near, though.
I've sampled laboratory pine and my nose, which I don't believe is especially keen, knew from the first whiff that it was in the presence of a cheap fraud.
It's a grim task, it seems to me, this putting in a bottle and selling to people ersatz sensations they could experience just by going for a stroll in the woods or a flower garden.
Besides which the stroll gets you out in the fresh air, and burns calories instead of cash.
I didn't mean to go off ranting against the makers of air-fresheners. There is, I suppose, a certain nobility in trying to make a living room or a car smell like a forest rather than, say, a pair of sweat-stained sneakers.
Yet it saddens me to think that people willingly settle for shoddy imitations when Oregon is so rich in the real things.
The trip last Sunday, six days before my native state celebrates its 150th birthday, reminded me, as such journeys often do, just how wealthy Oregon truly is.
There is nothing much that's noteworthy about the place where we hiked. We parked next to the bridge where Highway 395 crosses the Middle Fork. This is a main junction — the Middle Fork Road comes in from the east, and from the west the road that follows the meandering Middle Fork downstream to Ritter Hot Springs.
We climbed the ridge above the river's north bank. The landscape is typical of Eastern Oregon, with a few ponderosas and junipers on the south slopes, dogwood in the draws and a slightly thicker stand of pine on the ridgetops and north slopes.
Even so, the forest seemed to me qualitatively different from, for instance, the ponderosa pine stands in Sumpter Valley.
I struggle, though, to explain this difference in a coherent way.
It's a feeling, really, ephemeral rather than concrete, and one which defies easy translation into language.
I'm glad for this feeling, though, even if I can't express it as well as I'd like.
There are other examples.
It pleases me that a mountain lake in the Wallowas is distinguishable from one in the Cascades, even though both are the handiwork of glaciers and are inhabited by brook trout.
Even the quality of the light at dusk can differ dramatically depending on where I am in Oregon, and no matter that it's the same sun dipping below the horizon. The last dim minutes before a winter nightfall in Baker County, for instance, when you know the temperature will go below zero by dawn, melds blue and pink into a hue I've never seen west of the Cascades.
That Oregon should be blessed with such variety, even among apparently similar landscapes, seems to me almost more than any place deserves.
This is, after all, one of the few states in which a person can surf the Pacific and ski a volcano on the same day, or watch the sun rise above a rain forest and set against a backdrop of desert.
I don't as a rule celebrate Oregon's birthday.
I've never thought I needed to.
I can't think of a better way to honor this place than to keep on climbing its mountains and watching its eagles and looking for its buttercups.
And reveling in that inimitable sense of peace and good tidings that refreshes my very spirit whenever, and wherever, a breeze brushes my cheek, heavy with the essence of good pine.

Is anyone aware of any negative health effects fom sitting for long periods?
This could be arthritis, blood clots, deep vein thrombosis or nerve damage.
I generally sit for up to an hour before bedtime and get the occassional "pins and needles" etc.
A little pain is very common for most practicioners when sitting and is generally accepted as par for the course,
but recently I sometimes experienced some uncomfortable tingling for a while after going to bed.
My concern is that many of us could be slowly damaging our bodies.
I sit crosslegged (not lotus, half or burmese) on a thick squab with buttocks raised on a cushion. It is quite comfortable
but evetually the blood supply to the left leg is compromised by pressure from the right. All positions seem to have pros
and cons and this has worked the best for me so far. I am in my mid 30s and am in otherwise good health.
your thoughts are appreciated,
an expert opinion even more!

London riots US supercop hails police gang crime fight
18:17 04 June 2012
Emma Bartholomew
Police efforts to combat gang crime have been praised by an American 'supercop' who advised the government on last year's London riots.
Bill Bratton, 64, who tackled gangs as head of police departments in New York, Boston and Los Angeles over the last two decades, told Radio 5 Live he does not believe police cuts will lead to a rise in crime.
And he hit out at those who criticise police, saying: "To blame the police, I am sorry, there are other issues at work here.
"Lots of these people are just, unfortunately, criminals."

Recent news and developments
- November 2012: GloboSol annual report: Switzerland/Germany - Partner-meeting "Skillshare" - As a "première", some of our closest friends and solar colleagues from various foreign countries were invited to visit Globosol with Michael Götz. In the course of a manifold study and sight-seeing program, they also became acquainted with parts of Switzerland and southern Germany. Unfortunately only two guests were able to participate: Lorena Harp from Oaxaca, Mexico, the co-organizer of the project "Food-stalls in Mexico", and Sourakatou Ouro-Bangna, head of the solar center "Solasol" in Sokode,Togo. It was a stimulating event that nevertheless raised questions and unfortunately required significant administrative expense.

One characteristic of metabolic syndrome is an increased level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. This can also be a sign of prediabetes. When you have prediabetes, your risk of developing full-blown diabetes increases. Your chance of developing heart disease and stroke goes up, too. But, you can help control and possibly reverse prediabetes by making some basic lifestyle changes.
Insulin is a hormone that helps cells turn glucose into energy. When the body's cells don't use insulin properly, you have insulin resistance. It can cause glucose to build up in the blood.
Glucose levels are measured using a fasting glucose test or a glucose tolerance test. According to the American Diabetes Association, you have prediabetes if your fasting glucose result ranges from 100 to 125 mg/dL, or your glucose tolerance result ranges from 140 to 199 mg/dL. The hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) test measures how high your blood glucose has been over the past several months. Prediabetes is also diagnosed in adults when HbA1C levels are 5.7% to 6.4% (a normal level is less than 5.7% in adults).
Many people with insulin resistance are overweight and carry excess, dangerous fat around the waist. Often, they don't get enough exercise. In addition, they tend to have a hard time controlling their cholesterol and blood pressure. For people with metabolic syndrome, controlling these health issues is essential to preventing diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Regular physical activity and weight loss can help improve the way your body uses insulin. That can help treat prediabetes and may reduce your diabetes risk. You may even be able to get your glucose level back into the normal range. The following tips can help:
Talk with your health care provider about starting an exercise routine.
Build up to moderate-intensity exercise for an average of 40 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week.
If you're overweight, aim to lose 5% to 10% of your body weight gradually.
Eat your usual foods in smaller amounts.
Limit fat intake to less than 28% of your daily calories. Get healthy fats from plant sources such as nuts, eat little fat from animal meat, and avoid trans fat.
Also have your blood glucose rechecked at least once each year to see whether it has changed.

Should we throw more money at the government?
After much consideration and study, I must admit I've been wrong, wrong for years and years.
My critics can take great solace today, as I'm fessing up.
Curiously, since right about the same time I started paying taxes — and seeing the numbers of tax payments climb — I've been of the opinion that government isn't good at much.
Sure, we need law enforcement, fire protection and some infrastructure oversight. But I've been pretty convinced that nearly all of the rest of government's functions — legislatures, regulatory bureaucracy, etc. — were largely fluff.
Government is the rich kid buffoon in the room that trips over itself.
The infamous saga of the massively expensive hammers and toilet seats the government purchased back in the 1980s is a good reminder of just how buffoon-like the government can be.
But all of that criticism is wrong; I'm here to say. I've simply misunderstood the beauty and wisdom of government.
Locally, a prime example was shown last week.
The public doesn't need to have a say in the long-term use of public lands.
We elected the brilliant members of the board of aldermen and the mayor. That should give them all carte blanche. We should all just shut up and let them do what they feel is best.
Instead we should continue to work hard and give the wonderful machine more and more of our hard-earned money. They will take care of us all. They've started to do great things a few years ago with "health care reform."
I know, I know, it doesn't seem like health care coverage has improved since, but we're just not being patient enough.
I know that my insurance premiums have continued to go up, but that's because the government hasn't taken over insurance companies yet. As soon as that happens, the good hands people will be safely living in the Capitol.
What a day that will be when the government assumes all aspects of our lives.
Before the people who really know me call to have an intervention, realize, I'm joking.
I'm not a fan of big government.
In fact, I've been wondering about whether America actually has the electoral fortitude to make some serious changes in our government.
Clearly, America needs radical changes to stop our ever growing, ever deficit dependent government.
With the level of U.S. debt per U.S. citizen at more than $49,000 or nearly $136,000 per taxpayer, something must change.
Nothing should be off the table, either. Rather than continuing partisan fights, our country needs radical change.
From beginning to curtain massive public pensions to considering how we might reduce general government spending, much needs to be considered.
Though it would be a small drop in the bucket, cutting congress' pay in half would be a good place to start. With that done, we should do the same thing for our state legislators, too.
Then, with that done, let's put them back on the same retirement and health care plans as regular folks.
Perhaps when a few of those simple tasks are done, we'll scare away the fat-cat politicians and elect some folks who are really dedicated, not to lining their own pockets, but to making the fundamental, but necessary changes to get our national, state and local government downsized to something we can afford.

Valparaiso, IN (Sports Network) - Ryan Broekhoff recorded a double-double with
10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds as he helped guide the Crusaders of
Valparaiso to a 74-50 win over the Cleveland State Vikings in Horizon League
action at the Athletics-Recreation Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Crusaders (11-5, 1-1 HL) were Matt
Kenney and Will Bogan with 14 and 13 points, respectively, as the team won for
the fourth time in the last five outings.
The Vikings (8-7, 0-1) were paced by Luda Ndaye who tallied 15 points off the
bench, followed by Bryn Forbes with 12 as he knocked down all six of his
attempts at the free-throw line for a team that lost for the third time in
four games.
Valpo opened the meeting on a 12-1 run and never looked back, holding the
visitors to just 6-of-26 (.231) shooting from the floor in the first half, en
route to a 35-18 advantage at the break.
In the second half CSU again had trouble shooting the ball from the field
(.375) and missed all eight chances behind the 3-point line as Valpo ran away
with the 24-point victory.
The Crusaders, guilty of 18 turnovers, held CSU to just 1-of-18 shooting
beyond the arc on the night.

A Virginia man was arrested in Nash County after deputies say they discovered more than 100 gallons of moonshine in his van.
The Nash County Sheriff's Office arrested 68-year-old Clayton Bolling of Richmond, Va. on November 9. Officials say they were contacted by the Harnett County Sheriff's Office about Bolling and stopped him on I-95.
Captain Pat Joyner says boxes with four gallons each of moonshine covered every seat in the back of the van, covered by a blanket. In total, there were 114 gallons of the illegal liquor.
Bolling was charged with possessing or selling an alcoholic beverage without a permit, transporting a non-tax-paid alcoholic beverage and possessing or selling a non-tax-paid alcoholic beverage. He was released from jail after posting a $2,000 bond.
Bolling is due back in court in Nash County on December 11.

- "...death is coming for me as surely as the Chudley Cannons will finish bottom of this year's league."
- —Albus Dumbledore, commenting on the certainty of his imminent death[src]
The Chudley Cannons are a British Quidditch team that played in the British and Irish Quidditch League. They wore bright orange robes, and their logo included two black Cs and a speeding cannonball. They have won the League Cup twenty-one times, the last time in 1892; many consider their glory days to be over. There is a Chudley Cannons Fan Club.
The club motto was "We shall conquer" until 1972, when it was changed to "Let's all just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best".
The Chudley Cannons won the League for the last time.
The Cannons won the Josef Wronski Award for Excellent Pitch Skills.
The team changed their official motto.
In August the Cannons were ninth in the League.[4]
The Appleby Arrows defeated the Chudley Cannons in the summer, aided by a pathetic performance by Cannon's Seeker Galvin Gudgeon.
The Cannons were at the bottom of the table on 31 July.[1]
The Chudley Cannons broke a sixteen-game losing streak by drawing with the Caerphilly Catapults.
On 8 February they languished bottom of the League with 230 points.
The Cannons narrowly defeated Wigtown Wanderers in Bodmin Moor.
On 1 June the Falmouth Falcons were the team at the bottom of the League. The Cannons then defeated the Falcons in Exmoor, keeping the Falcons in bottom place. The shock of the victory caused the Cannons' manager Ragmar Dorkins to collapse.
On 1 October the Chudley Cannons were in eleventh place in the League.[1]

Behind the scenes
- They are Ron Weasley's favourite team. The bedspread, walls, and ceiling of his room at the Burrow were all decorated in a "violent shade of orange", and posters of the team's players covered nearly every inch of the walls.
- J. K. Rowling, when asked if the Chudley Cannons would ever win a game, replied that "they'd need to replace the entire team and down several cauldrons of Felix Felicis."
- In the 8 February 1999 edition of the Daily Prophet, 'Chudley Cannon memorabilia - fan making "clean break"', is an advertisement in the 'For Sale' section.[1]

It's official. The force is with J.J. Abrams.
The Walt Disney Co. issued a statement Friday night confirming reports that had been circulating for two days that Abrams, creator of TV's "Lost" and director of 2009's "Star Trek" movie, has been pegged to direct the seventh installment of the "Star Wars" franchise.
Disney said the movie will have a script from "Toy Story 3" writer Michael Arndt and a 2015 release.
Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote two of the movies in the original trilogy, will work as a consultant on the new project.
Disney bought "Star Wars" maker Lucasfilm last month for $4.06 billion.
"Star Wars" creator George Lucas said in the statement that Abrams is the "ideal choice" of director and his legacy "couldn't be in better hands."

A recent report about the Dutch biofuels market, compiled by research institute CE Delft, reveals that the environmental performance of biofuels sold on the Dutch market could be significantly improved by shifting to biofuels that produce low levels of CO2 emissions.
Europe and Central Asia
Following a campaign led by Nature Kenya, supported by other BirdLife Partners, Kenya's National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has officially rejected a proposal to convert 10,000 hectares of Dakatcha Woodland IBA to grow the biofuel crop jatropha.
A high-level meeting has stated the need for a strategic plan for the Delta.
Hope rise that the planting of the biofuel crop jatropha within the Coast region of Kenya is to halt.
Hopes of a sustainable future for EU biofuels policy have been dealt a blow following the European Commission's decision to delay a critical decision on how to account for the impacts of 'indirect land use change' (ILUC).
Europe and Central Asia
Biofuels are any kind of fuel derived from living things. In principle, they are a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fossil fuels like oil and coal. It is also estimated that emissions from burning biofuels are broadly comparable to the amount of the gas absorbed from the atmosphere when the biofuel plants are grown. Sounds great. Right? Sadly not...
One of the attractions of spending a couple of weeks in South Africa was the chance to escape a bit of the British winter – so why was I wrapped up, wishing I had brought gloves, walking into a foggy dawn? Altitude.
New research warns of massive increase in carbon emissions and land conversion through the use of biofuels in Europe.
Meeting a European target to use biofuel in Britain's 30 million cars will result in the destruction of an area of wildlife habitat the size of the West Country, a study has found...
Current demand for biofuels is leading to conversion of natural habitats, on a huge and potentially catastrophic scale.
The Tana River Delta on Kenya's coast is at cross-roads. The massive pressure to exploit the area for growing sugar and biofuel crops amongst other development pressure is forcing an intense campaign to ensure that the delta's peerless natural environment...
BirdLife International welcomes the CBD's consideration of the impacts of biofuels on biodiversity1. The draft COP-10 decisions refer to minimising the negative impacts of biofuel production on biodiversity and maximising the benefits.
Full list of BirdLife Products and Policy Briefs for COP-10 in Nagoya, Japan.
Last Thursday, the Green Con-vergence for Safe Food and Healthy Environment, a loose coalition of networks and NGOs, held its third Green State of Nature Address (SONA). We were very appreciative that DENR Secretary Ramon Paje stayed the entire day to hear out our long complaints, urgent pleas and sturdy arguments particularly on forestry issues and mining.
Tropical forests are disappearing at a rate of one football pitch per second - more than 10 million hectares per year. These losses are driven by global demand for timber, paper and land for food crops and bio-fuels. BirdLife's work has shown that 913 species worldwide are threatened by forest destruction and degradation; that's almost one in ten of the world's birds.
In a move that buys a little time for the Dakatcha Woodlands, Kenya's National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has refused a licence to a 50,000ha biofuels plantation.
BirdLife works hard to hold governments to account, ensuring they keep their promises. And when governments fail, or fall below international best practices, BirdLife is ready with the practical solutions and encouragement to get them back on track...

I am learning with GIMP but what I am learning and what I am good at doesnt seem suitable for the mars map I want to create. It is more suitable for my other projects . . .
so I still need help with this
I am trying to start a web-project called forgotten mars. It is supposed to be a webcomic, I am having a hard time finding an artist, and learning how to have a website. I have a lot of financial difficulties in my life that I really dont want to talk about and I am trying to have a creative outlet.
Right now it is just me and a buddy building the world the comic is supposed to take place in . . . It takes place on mars 45,000 years ago, it is a medeval variation on the world, kinda like sinbad meets assassins creed. There is no magic (there are of course fantastic creatures, but nothing to unreal), but there is also no supertechnology . . . Just the ancient world of mars, with a single species (with racial variations). . .
It is kinda like . . . it is supposed to bekind of like a historical drama on another world, with no human or alien influences . . . I am making it more confusing than it should be. Anyways I have been trying to create the map of the world to try and figure it out . . . but I am not very good at this.
It looks extremely cluttered, the geography is broken . . . there is almost no discerning between the environments. I would like that someone revamp the map I am creating . . . maybe not recreate it . . . but just help me out. I cannot afford to pay anyone :'( money is non-existent right now.
this is what I got so far.

Ralok, the artist you wind up collaborating with will set the aesthetic of your site and your stories. The map ought to mesh with that, so without seeing even a sample of your "look" it'll be hard to match. I understand it's a chicken and egg thing - if you had a marveloussp in hand, it could help you draw the right artist.
With all the elements you lack, do you at least have stories? Even snippets might clue us in enough to entice interest.
You say your efforts thus far don't match your Martian vision - mind showing us what you've started, even as negative examples? We might be able to help you achieve a look you'll be satisfied with.
I agree with jbgibson that it would be really helpful to have a bit more idea what you're looking for - even just examples of maps whose style you like or want emulated would help guide the project. Hearing/reading some of the stories, or seeing what you've got for the webcomic site could also help.
I did post to your previous request - even threw together a quick-and-dirty map sample (which admittedly could use a lot of work/refinement). Of course, if you're looking for a full-blown webcomic artist and/or web designer, I'm probably not your guy, as my artistic endeavors are mostly limited to cartography. (I suppose I could emulate xkcd's artistic style - but if that's what you're looking for, I imagine you could probably manage it yourself)
No I got the artist, and am looking for a web designer elsewhere . . . I am just looking for someone to do the map.
The style shouldny be to different from a medieval or archaic map. I referenced assassins creed, gladiator, and troy when making the universe. It is a historical drama set on a different planet. Somehwat like Edgar Rice Burroughs mars but with less fantastic elements, and the planet isnt a desert.
Tehre are forests, grassy plains, arctic areas, tundra, jungles, swamps. . . .
In my map that I made black represents a forested area, as the larger plant-life has black leaves, and the smaller plant-life has yellow leaves. Red is supposed to be desert but I couldnt figure it out - _ -
I have a reidculous amount of concept work for this proejct, I ahve a cooncept artist seperate from the person doing the actual pages.
these are the native martians
this piece of concept work might provide soem flavor for the world as well

Giovanni's Persian (anime)
this wiki
Giovanni's Persian is one of Giovanni's Pokémon. It was always seen with its master and Giovanni actually seemed to care about Persian and was often seen petting it. In return, Persian was very loyal to Giovanni and went with him wherever he went. Persian has rarely been seen in battle, instead being treated as a pet. Team Rocket's Meowth hates Persian because it was Giovanni's favorite Pokémon. It was stated by Meowth that he used to be the top cat, but was replaced by that "stuck up good for nothing" Persian. Persian and Meowth have both always been wanting to get all of Giovanni's attention but it is Persian that gets Giovanni's attention. Persian and Meowth met for the first time in the episode "Battle Aboard the St. Anne" and when Persian came petting up to Giovanni's side, Meowth was horrifed that he was replaced.
Persian had appeared in the Best Wishes! series. It was shown to be very powerful against Ash's Pikachu, taking him out by using Shadow Claw and Power Gem.
- Rica Matsumoto, who plays Satoshi, is the original Japanese-language version voices Giovanni's Persian in both the Japanese and English language versions of the Pokémon anime.

I met this woman on the street after seeing the new documentary about Arthur Russell, "Wild Combination" (I highly recommend it). The thin orange lines in her windowpane pants, her orange sweater, scarf, blush, and even her hair are a wild combination in their own right.

The Linerunner is a semi-truck featured in most 3D Universe. It is the only vehicle of its type in all of the games, except in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where it is supplemented by two other semi-trucks. It is replaced by the Phantom in GTA IV.
The Linerunner is design as a typical American standard cab-styled semi truck with an extended drivers' cab quarter. The truck remained largely similar throughout its appearances, with the exception of the radiator grill design, among other minor cosmetic changes. The name sounds like a parody of Freightliner, and its design resembles a Kenworth W900L with a shorter pointed grille in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the grille is taller and flattened in the subsequent games.
The Linerunner's performance is what would be expected for a vehicle of its size and weight, it's slow to accelerate and hard to maneuver in tight spaces, but once it gets going it has a decent top speed. Disappointingly, though, it's not quite as strong as its intimidating appearance and size would suggest, and it gets knocked around by other vehicles surprisingly easily; nevertheless, the truck proves effective breaking through police roadblocks, provided it is sufficiently speedy. The Linerunner's handling is fairly steady, but if the player does manage to roll it over it's very difficult to get it back onto it's wheels, due to it's height.
Along with the Tanker and Roadtrain, the Linerunner in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas can be connected to a trailer in order to haul cargo, and is used in the Trucking missions; with the presence of two new semi-trucks in GTA San Andreas, the Linerunner is also revealed to be the slowest and least powerful semi-truck of the three. It is also the smallest out of the three.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it can be easily driven and balanced on only one side, making it the easiest vehicle to get a two-wheel bonus in.
- The "Linerunner" name may refer to a person who snorts lines of cocaine.
- A Linerunner appears as a wreck in Rockstar North's Manhunt, and in its GTA San Andreas form in Manhunt 2.
- The Linerunner only has one breather.
- The Linerunner features single wheel on the rear axles as opposed to double wheels as seen in the Tanker and Roadtrain.
- When attatched to a trailer, its handling becomes very similar to a train, as that it will have a higher top speed, while sacrificing acceleration, and is nearly unstoppable; nothing will ever actually stop a Linerunner (or any other truck), it will just slow it down a bit.

This is heart wrenching film from Swedish director Jan Troell focuses on one woman's tumultuous life as a psychologically and physically abused wife and mother who momentarily escapes her domestic torment by picking up a camera—an instrument of creativity and documentation that she uses as a means for both personal expression and as a gateway to escape her unforgiving life. Shot with exquisite cinematography, Everlasting Moments takes the viewer on an anguished ride through the minefield of Maria Larsson's troubled life—one defined by her amazing strength and fortitude in the face of heartbreak and disappointment. As bleak as her prospects are, Maria (brilliantly portrayed by Maria Heiskanen) discovers that there are moments, sublime in their ephemerality, when she and her alcoholic husband face the obstacles of war, poverty and hunger together and tenderly. Troell has masterly rendered a humane portrait of a family struggling to survive in pre-WWI Sweden, with the centerpiece constituted by Maria's endless capacity for grace, forgiveness and persistence.

India Government has yesterday launched a new Indian Cultural Centre in Tanzania to promote cultural relations between Tanzania and India.
This was revealed yesterday by Indian High Commissioner to Tanzania Kocheril Bhagirath while addressing his country's citizens living in Tanzania to mark the country's 65th Independence Day at the Indian Cultural Centre, officially inaugurated yesterday.
Presently three teachers from India are currently in the country to train people on Indian culture.
People would be trained on Yoga- a life style, dance as well as India's famous Tabra's drum.
He said right now the Indian Cultural centre has begun Tabla classes by Maestro Keshab Kanti Chowdhury a Tabla teacher nominated by Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) at Indian Cultural Centre.
Also the India Cultural Centre, Dar es Salaam is commencing yoga classes by Acharya Seema Singh M.Sc in Yogic Science and experienced yoga together nominated by (ICCR).
He said we encourage Tanzania from various parts in the country to come to us to learn on Indian culture so that we can promote culture among two countries, business link and speed up our economic activities.
According to officials the programme would help people them to become physically fit, mentally relaxed, emotionally balanced and spiritually evolved.
India, one of the world's largest democracy will also reap a demographic dividend, only when it has an educated population equipped with the necessary skills.
"This entails a focus on education and skill development to build their capacities to meet the requirements of the nation as well as help other countries to reach where we are," he said.
He said India is a country shaped by "experiences, sacrifices and hard work," noting that the country has many success stories earning a goodwill for the country wherever its people are working inside and outside the country," he said.

I am trying to find a good smaller lcd or another quality tv that has an on/off timer that will automatically play a video either via dvd player or via usb connection.
I am exhibiting video work that needs to be able to power on at the same time each day because the building automatically shuts off the power each night. I need it to play video files automatically without anyone pressing on or off.
Any help on specific brands would be awesome. Any size possible in the price range, small is good. l need to buy three of these so I am hoping to stay under $150 for each.
Thank you!

Finished Length Length of foot can be adjusted as desired
CORRECTIONS: None
22 sts + 28 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st in the round (knit every round). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
SW (slip and wrap) Bring yarn to front of work, slip next st, turn, wrap yarn around slip st and slip same st back onto right hand needle. On next row, work wrapped st by picking up wrap and working together with st on left hand needle.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog.
K1, p1 Rib (Even number of sts)
Rnd 1: *K1, p1; rep from * to end.
Rep Rnd 1 for K1, p1 Rib.
Grafting Holding the 2 needles parallel with wrong sides of fabric together, thread a large-eyed blunt needle with yarn end and work as follows:
Insert needle as if to purl into first stitch on front piece. Insert needle as if to knit into first stitch on back piece. Then follow steps 1-4 as outlined below. 1) Insert needle as if to knit through first st on front needle and let the st drop from needle. 2) Insert needle into 2nd st on front needle as if to purl and pull the yarn through, leaving st on the needle. 3) Insert needle into first st on back needle as if to purl and let it drop from the needle, then 4) insert it as if to knit through 2nd st on back needle and pull the yarn through, leaving st on needle. Rep 1-4 until all sts are grafted. When finished, adjust tension as necessary. Weave in ends.
