WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Consider this new risk like a digital form of kidnapping. Your computer and your private data held for ransom by hackers.
Hackers are taking control of computers. "Ransom" notes can read like this: for $3,000, you can get your computer unfrozen and your data back and you'll have to fork over $1,000 for each week you don't comply.
Randomware is a crime so pervasive, it has prompted the FBI to put out a warning. The Bureau says it's getting dozens of complaints each day. It's believed most are operating overseas, so tracking them down has become futile as well.
One reason some people fall for the scam is that the messages look like they're from the government, accusing users of things like child pornography.

It's Rocket Science at Vol State March 29
Submitted on March 22, 2012 at 11:52 AM
The Volunteer State Community College Science and Math Expo goes to new heights this year with a rocket theme that should provide plenty of excitement. It's titled "2012: A Rocket Odyssey." It's the eleventh year for the annual event, which brings in hundreds of kids and parents to explore science. There will be more than fifty demonstrations and hands-on activities covering subjects from chemistry and biology to environmental science and astronomy.
"We'll have Moon rocks and meteorites on loan from NASA on display," said event co-organizer Parris Powers. "We're also going to have an event where the kids can make bottle rockets and compete as they fire them off."
The Expo is designed for kids from kindergarten through middle school. The activities are put together by Vol State Science and Math students, who gain a new perspective on science and math education.
"It enhances our student's critical thinking skills by taking something they have learned in class and then having to conceptually understand it, to the point where they can explain it to elementary and middle school students," said Powers.
Activities this year include: telescope viewing with the Cumberland Astronomical Society, wildlife rehabilitation and animals from Walden's Puddle, a talk by News2 Meteorologist Davis Nolan and the always popular egg drop contest.
The Vol State Science and Math Expo will be held on Thursday, March 29 from 2:30 to 6:00 p.m. It will take place in the Wallace Building on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. The event is free and open to everyone. For more information call 615-230-3261.

Restart my phone
If your Windows Phone stops working or responding in the way you're used to, you can quickly restart it to get back on track.
Some examples of your phone becoming unresponsive include:
- Your phone freezes or gets stuck, and when you tap or swipe the screen nothing happens.
- You see a big exclamation mark, a gear and lightning bolt combo, a pair of gears, or your phone manufacturer's logo.
- An app or game you're trying to use doesn't work as expected.
To restart your phone
To restart your phone, press and hold the Power button until you see Slide down to power off, then swipe down. (This usually takes about 3 seconds.) Once it's off, press the Power button to turn on your phone again.
If restarting your phone doesn't work, do one of the following:
- Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time until you feel a vibration (about 10–15 seconds). Your phone will restart automatically.
- Sometimes your phone will vibrate right away when you press the Volume Down and Power buttons—this is probably due to your ringer changing to Vibrate. Wait to release the buttons until a second vibration after 10–15 seconds.
- If you don't let go of the Volume Down and Power buttons right after the vibration at 10–15 seconds, your phone may show a black startup screen and not restart normally. If this happens, just repeat the button combo to try again.
- Not all phones support the ability to restart your phone this way, so check with your phone's manufacturer to find out how to force a restart.
- If your phone has a replaceable battery, remove and reinsert the battery located under your phone's back panel, and then press the Power button to turn on your phone. (The date and time may be incorrect after restarting your phone, which can cause issues when you try to sign in with your Microsoft account. To set the time correctly, go to Settings > Date + time.)
- Keeping your Windows Phone up to date with the latest software can improve performance and stability. If restarting your phone didn't fix your issue, try updating to the latest version.
- You can reset your phone to the same state it was in the first time you turned it on. Be careful. Resetting your phone will erase your personal content, including text messages and apps you've downloaded, and your phone will be restored to its factory settings.

WVU comes up short vs. Kansas State
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia followed the same formula it used against Texas Wednesday night in Saturday's game with No. 18 Kansas State at the Coliseum.
The results weren't quite as pleasing, though.
The Mountaineers scrapped and clawed their way back into a late-game lead but couldn't hold it in the hectic final seconds and fell 65-64 to Kansas State.
The loss leaves the Mountaineers at 8-7 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12. Kansas State is 13-2 and 2-0.
Afterward, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, normally bordering on irate after a loss, seemed more disappointed than anything else. He seemed to understand that his team played well enough to put itself in position to win but just failed to do so at the end.
Actually, for a team that only a week ago seemed lost while blowing a big lead and losing to Oklahoma, that's improvement.
"But it's hard knowing you only play 18 league games,'' Huggins said, "and we've already lost two at home.''
West Virginia lost this one because it couldn't make plays in the final seconds. Freshman Eron Harris made an off-balance shot from the baseline with 25.8 seconds to play to give the Mountaineers a 64-63 lead, but four seconds later Dominique Rutledge was called for a foul on Shane Southwell at the other end.
With a Coliseum crowd of 10,039 as loud as it had been all day, Southwell sank both shots for the lead.
"Give him credit,'' said WVU guard Jabarie Hinds. "It was really loud and he made the shots.''
Still, with more than 20 seconds to play and the ball, West Virginia had ample opportunity to counter and couldn't.
First, Hinds tried to drive and make something happen. He threw up a bad shot from about 14 feet that had no chance. But the rebound was batted out of bounds to the Mountaineers with 9.1 seconds to play.
The plan there?
"Run the play we ran for [Da'Sean Butler] when he made five game-winning shots,'' Huggins said.
Hinds was to play the part of Butler, but the inbounds pass was tipped, Hinds couldn't catch it and Kansas State's Angel Rodriguez nearly had it heading to his own basket.
"The pass got to me. I got my hands on it,'' Hinds said. "I just didn't catch the ball.''
The guy who threw the inbounds pass, though, Gary Browne, hustled down and got it back as Rodriguez was trying to get a handle on it. By that time about five seconds remained and Browne took it all the way to the baseline and tried to score. But he was stuffed by Southwell and the game was over.
But while the focus was naturally on those final seconds, West Virginia perhaps lost the game earlier and in other ways. The Mountaineers allowed Kansas State to shoot nearly 70 percent in the first half, negating their own 65 percent shooting.
West Virginia didn't hit the boards at all in that first half, either. True, there weren't many misses, but at halftime the Mountaineers had just four rebounds, none of them on their own misses. By game's end the rebounding was virtually even, but there were some lost opportunities there in that first half.
"That's all we talked about. We have to win the battle on the boards,'' Huggins said. "We get four rebounds in the first half. Four.''
But the real difference was perhaps at the free-throw line. West Virginia missed 10 of its 22 shots, including a 1-for-6 performance by Hinds, a 68 percent shooter. Kansas State had far fewer opportunities but made nine of 14.
"I think we'd made more free throws than anyone in the six power conferences,'' Huggins said. "And then we go 12 for 22.''
Hinds, who has at least temporarily broken out of a shooting slump that saw him make just 32 percent in the first 14 games, led WVU with 15 points, made six of his 10 shots and both of his 3-pointers. Aaric Murray had 11 points and Terry Henderson 10.
Southwell, averaging 6.3 points, scored 17 for Kansas State, the same as preseason All-Big 12 guard Rodney McGruder.
As was the case in West Virginia's overtime win at Texas Wednesday night, the Mountaineers trailed most of the game. Kansas State led by as many as five in the first half and seven in the second, although that seven-point edge (48-41) came at the end of a 12-0 run that wiped out WVU's biggest lead (41-36) after the Mountaineers scored the first eight points of the second half.
As was the case with that Texas game, each time Kansas State opened a bit of a lead, West Virginia refused to let it get out of hand and eventually clawed back.
The game was the Mountaineers' last at home until Jan. 23 when they face TCU. West Virginia plays twice on the road this week - Wednesday at Iowa State and the final non-conference game of the year Saturday at Purdue.

Dolores Umbridge's wand
this wiki
The wand of Dolores Umbridge was "unusually short", according to Harry Potter. Its wood and core material are unknown.
This wand was destroyed during the Skirmish in the Forbidden Forest when it was snapped cleanly in half by a centaur's hoof in 1996, when Umbridge was carried off by a herd she offended. Before its destruction, Umbridge used the wand to cast a Shield Charm when a centaur fired an arrow at her and Incarcerous to strangle Magorian during the skirmish.
New wand
Presumably, Umbridge acquired a new wand later, and it was with this wand that she conjured her cat Patronus to ward of the Dementors from her as she prosecuted Muggle-borns as Head of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. However, this wand was probably taken away when she was sent to Azkaban.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Umbridge's wand is a crimson colour with a pink gem placed in the centre. It, too, is shorter than the other wands shown.
- Due to the great possibility of the wand snapping around the pink gem, Imelda Staunton had to use precise flourishes to avoid breaking her prop.
- This prop was used when the Hogwartians raised their wands in mourning for Albus Dumbledore who had just died.
- A new wand was made that connects the gem to the wand itself, so the wand would not break near the gem.
- According to Pottermore, short wands tend to belong to people who are "lacking" in personality, as there are many short witches and wizards with average sized wands.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game)
- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
Notes and references
- ↑ On Pottermore Ollivander classes 9" as average, with any wand under as being abnormally short.

Once a hunter is sure that the downed game animal has expired, it is time to tag the animal. Take your time at this stage. A hunter's main concern at this stage is to cool down the game animal; otherwise, there is a good chance that the meat will spoil.
Three factors can spoil meat and make it unsafe to eat:
Bacteria may start to grow if the meat is not cooled. Start the cooling process by field dressing the game animal as quickly as possible. The warmer the weather, the sooner this has to be done.
When dragging or moving the game animal to a pickup point or a vehicle, keep it as clean as possible. If you are hunting in an area that has livestock, ensure the game animal is not dragged over manure in the field. Avoid getting dirt or vegetation inside the cleaned-out body cavity.
Water on exposed meat breeds bacteria. Carry the game animal over small streams or creeks. Use paper towels or a clean rag to dry the body cavity if it gets wet. Protect your harvested game from rain, snow and ice when transporting it.

Comments On Nov 17, 2012:I've been riding for two years now and the bike is my only way to go. I've got goosedown jackets and carhartt pants and insulated boots and a full face. I had insulated leather gloves. but after about 5mins. if it was cooler than 55 degree, you could count on the fact that you were going to get colder and colder each minute until you arrived. After saving up for and doing large amounts of research about these gloves, I decided to go ahead and get them. Installation took 5 mins. They are a little snug, but I understand that any leather item has a break-in period. I turned the heat all the way up and began to ride. 40 degrees outside. 30 minutes later of highway speeds on my shadow, IM CONVINCED! It gets hot enough that you have to turn it back down. I feel as though I could ride for days now. Extremely satisfied with performance, quality and the new quality of riding life.

The Obey Tailgater is a four-door sedan in Grand Theft Auto V.
This car features styling elements that have been inspired by the C6 Audi A6 for the greenhouse area, and the D4 Audi A8 for the headlamp units, grille, lower body bulge and ten-spoke wheels. However, the quarter panel bulges appeared to have been inspired by the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. The rear end of the vehicle mostly draws its inspiration from the B7 Audi A4. The taillight units are inspired by the FG Ford Falcon.
The front end of the car features a dominant grille which decreases in width as it gets closer to the lower edge of the bumper, unlike Audi models, this grille only occupies the upper half of the front face. This grille has rounded chrome edges and two horizontal chrome strips. Either side of this grille, the headlamp units have sharp edges and multiple geometric LED formations. The line for the top edge of the headlamp units coincides with a line for the quarter panel bulge above the wheel arch. Above the headlights an elevation line for the bonnet/ hood runs from the inner-top corner of the headlight unit to its corresponding windscreen corner. Directly below the grille there is a shallow duct, shaped to continue in formation with the grille. Either side of this duct there are two ducts which are twice as tall as the central duct. These ducts are split by a horizontal strip of bodywork and close to the inner edge they have a circular fog-lamp.
The main body area features a variety of curves. Close to the base of the body there is a large bulge that spans almost the entire wheelbase. Above that, at around mid-body height, a straight line connects the front quarter bulge to the rear quarter bulge. Above the straight line, a curve that runs parallel with the lower edge of the windows is visible. The greenhouse features very thin B and C pillars, which appear to be covered by a polymer. The D pillars of the car are very long, with the intention of creating an elegant appearance. The rear quarter area features a bulge around the wheel arch similar to that found at the front. The car features split ten-spoke wheels, wrapped in low-profile tyres.
Surprisingly enough for a sedan, the Tailgater has performance that is on par with most sports cars. Acceleration and top speed are both above average, able to hold ground against sportier vehicles such as the Exemplar or F620. It has decent grip at low to moderate speeds, but can understandably begin to understeer without use of the brakes. It is fairly durable, even in regard to deformation damage. It takes several hard blows to the engine to begin drawing smoke, and can take a couple more hits than most other vehicles before any wheels become stuck.

- Parked in front of Michael's mansion in Rockford Hills as this is Michael's own vehicle (unavailable between Did Somebody Say Yoga? and Monkey Business mission, as Jimmy takes the car). Michael's Tailgater will be parked nearby every time the player switches to Michael, too.
- At the end of Eye In The Sky, three Tailgaters will be left in the hangar, Franklin is instructed to take any of them, to drive away from the airport.
- Franklin, may be seen driving a red Tailgater after The Big Score is completed.
- After completing the mission Complications you can take one of the tailgaters parked in the Premium Deluxe Motorsport shop and drive it.
- In the Strangers and Freaks mission Unknowing the Truth, there's a unique Tailgater painted on the Epsilon Program baby blue color and with the custom plates KIFFLOM. It is obtainable after completing the mission.
GTA Online
- Offered as a choice of starting car.
- Appears sometimes in the parking lot of the Los Santos Golf Club.
- Parked behind the tennis court in Vespucci Beach.
- Maybe a High Priority Car for Simeon Yetarian's Import/Export Garage. It is rarely seen in traffic, and when it is, the driver drives recklessly, making you chase them.
- This is the third vehicle in the entire Grand Theft Auto series to be inspired by Audi automobiles, after the Sindacco Argento and the 9F (which also appear in GTA V).
- The name Tailgater is a reference to tailgating, the practice of driving a car close to the rear end of the car in front. This could also be a reference to the fact that Audi owners are notorious for tailgating other motorists in the US and UK.
- Its engine may be inspired to Volkswagen Group's V6 engine, which is used in many Audi vehicles in real life.
- The GPS in the middle of the console shows a map of Liberty City, this is because the interior model has been reused from GTA IV.
- If the player modifies Michael's Tailgater, it will respawn still modified. This happens with Franklin's Buffalo and Bagger, Trevor's Bodhi, Tracey's Issi, and Amanda's Sentinel.
- Despite the Tailgater's rear-wheel drive layout, in real life, all of Audi's sedans (the A4, A6 and A8) have either front-wheel drive or permanent 4WD.
- The default radio stations for the Tailgater are:
- GTA V: Los Santos Rock Radio or Vinewood Boulevard Radio.
- Although Jimmy does modify the transmission, engine and brakes on Michael's Tailgater before he returns it to Michael after Monkey Business, he does not give it the maximum upgrades possible. He adds a EMS upgrade level 3, street transmission, and sport brakes. He also customizes the grille and adds a lip spoiler.
Notable owners
- Michael owns a black Tailgater throughout the first few missions of the game. However, following a series of incidents culminating with him taking drugs, Michael's family leaves him, and Jimmy takes his car with him. Michael then takes up driving a red Premier. It is returned to Michael later in the game by Jimmy but he has customized it with dollar wheels, a musical horn, upgraded transmission, engine, brakes, xenon lights and light smoke windows in an attempt to make the car look "cooler" in his opinion. Like all of the cars assigned to the three protagonists, the player can customize Michael's car and it will retain these modifications whenever it respawns.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Starbucks Corp. is looking to expand its food business, with a $100 million cash deal to buy a small bakery chain.
The Seattle-based coffee shop chain says baked goods and pastries from La Boulange will start replacing its current lineup early next year. Starbucks also says it plans to make the San Francisco-area bakery into a national presence in the years ahead.
Food has become an important part of Starbucks' revenue stream in recent years. About a third of the purchases in its U.S. locations now include a food item.
La Boulange, which also serves salads and sandwiches in a casual sit-down setting, has 19 locations in the Bay Area. The deal also positions Starbucks to enter a fast-growing segment of the restaurant industry currently dominated by Panera Bread Co.

American River 50: Endurance run from Sacramento to Auburn set for April 6By: Special to the Journal
The 34th annual American River 50 Mile Endurance Run will be held Saturday, April 6.
Beginning in Sacramento at 6 a.m., this popular 50-miler presented by Clif Bar and NorCalUltras beneficiaries—California Conservation of Trails and Running School — offers runners a chance to view picturesque scenery as they navigate the challenging American River Bike Trail and the Pioneer Express Trail all the way to Auburn.
The race begins at Guy West Bridge, located at 865 University Ave. in Sacramento, and finishes at the Auburn Overlook located at 855 Pacific Ave. in the Endurance Capital of the World.
Spectators are invited to cheer on the runners, who train for an average of six months prior to competing. The race's winners are expected to cross the finish line around noon. The middle of the pack figures to reach Auburn around 3 to 5 p.m., and the last runner may take until 7 p.m. to complete the task.
Many runners use the AR 50 as a training run for the popular Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of this race, all participants' spots are currently filled.
Runner check-in is at the Fleet Feet Sports store at 8128 Madison Ave. in Fair Oaks on Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m., and Friday from 10 a.m. – to 7 p.m.
"Whether you are attempting your first 50-miler, seeking a personal record or dreaming of a qualifier for the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run, this race is for you," said Julie Fingar, ultra endurance coach, athlete and race director.
This year's American River 50 Mile Endurance Run is sponsored by Clif Bar®, Patagonia®, Fleet Feet Sports, GU Energy Labs, Moeben, Bank Card USA, Ultra Signup, TrailRunner, 2XU Compression, Future Ford of Roseville, Sacfit, UltraRunning Magazine, Auburn Running Company, Sports Basement, The Recovery Stock, Injinji, Skweet® Sports Bottle Wash, Monsters of Massage, BlueBugGraphics, Larkspur Landing, Bungalow Munch, Rock Creek, Rishi Tea, RYP Wear, US Cryotherapy and Massage by Lilly.

History of the race:
Established Fleet Feet Founder Sally Edwards and Mo Livermore had a discussion back in 1979 about the American River Ride horse race, which started in Sacramento and finished in Auburn. When Livermore described the trails used by the riders and horses of this event, Sally realized the course could be a challenging and beautiful 50-mile endurance run. And thus, a race was born. In 1980, nearly 200 runners toed the line at the Auburn Fairgrounds for the start of the inaugural AR 50. Since 1982, the run has started in Sacramento. Over the years, more than 12,000 runners have accepted the challenge.

text: It is very difficult to hit the vital areas in a head-on shot, since the hunter has a very small area at which to aim, and the bullet has to travel through bones to reach the vital organs. Missing the aiming point even slightly once again means ruining a good amount of meat in a front quarter. Again, it is advisable for firearm hunters to wait for a better shot. Bow hunters should always pass on this shot.

Water projects in Kanawha announced
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia American Water is replacing more miles of aging water main lines and spending more money on projects this year than it has in recent years, the company's spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Laura Jordan said the water company is investing $2.1 million on construction projects in the Kanawha Valley to replace water pipes, some which date back as far as 1920.
The projects will restore 7.5 miles of main lines in Kanawha and Putnam counties.
Some construction has already been completed, including a new water main line along 7th Street in Charleston, down 21st Street in North Charleston, along Sharon Hollow Road in Cabin Creek and down Smithers Hill in Smithers.
The 27 other pipelines projects are underway or will begin in the next few weeks, Jordan said.
She said the company "did back off investments in 2010 and 2011" when the company requested rate increases from the state Public Service Commission but was granted much less.
In early 2011, the PSC denied $10 million of a $15.4 million rate hike request from the water company.
West Virginia American Water wanted a 13 percent rate increase, but the PSC granted a 4.4 percent hike.
Company executives said at the time that the lower increase wasn't sufficient to recoup operating expenses. To try to save money, the company announced they were going to lay off 10 percent of the company's employees.
The Utility Workers Union of America and Laborers International Union asked the commission to block the water company's job cuts because, they alleged, the company wouldn't be able to provide safe and reliable water service without them.
The PSC ordered the water company keep 10 of the 31 employees it had planned to lay off.
Wayne Morgan, the utility's president at the time, told area contractors after the PSC decision that it was reducing its capital investments.
But Jordan said the company's current "ambitious project schedule" in the Kanawha Valley is "absolutely necessary."
"Most of the pipes we are replacing were laid between 1920 and 1950 so they are passed their useful life," Jordan said. "It's a necessary investment. Customers pay with these through their rates so seeing this type of investment is key to a healthy economy and infrastructure."
The $2.1 million for the projects comes from the company's capital investment fund, she said.
West Virginia American Water gets money from investors to improve water pipes, tanks and stations in the state, which is ultimately recovered through rate cases, she said.
The company spent $23.9 million in improvements statewide last year out of its annual capital budget.
Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said he understands that it is costly to maintain proper upgrades, but customers' water bills shouldn't become "totally unaffordable."
Carper disagreed with the water company in 2011 when it requested rate increases because they were "excessive." On Tuesday he said that the company's latest investments are "a good thing."
"It means the water company is back in the water business and we are pleased," Carper said. "Yes, I had a great disagreement with them, but this is very, very good news and we're pleased to move forward."
West Virginia American Water asked for a 19.7 percent rate increase in December. The additional $24 million in revenue is needed to help recoup more than $85 million the company has spent to improve water lines and treatment plants since 2009.
The upgrades include replacement pipes in water distribution systems, rehabilitation of the company's water system tanks and upgrades to pumping stations and computer systems.
The average West Virginia American Water customer would see a jump of $8.13 per month if state regulators approve the request.
The company's rates will have increased 50 percent over the past five years if the PSC approves the latest rate hike request.
The PSC is hosting a hearing for the rate request July 8-11. The rate increase, if it were granted, would go into effect Oct. 11.
The 27 other pipeline projects that are in progress or beginning later this spring:
* Charleston: South Ruffner, Edgewood Drive, Sugar Creek Drive, Reveal Drive, Vermont Drive, Corvair Drive and Walnut Drive.
* South Charleston: Ohio Avenue, Kentucky Street and MacCorkle Avenue alley.
* Cross Lanes: Brick Lane, Carolyn Drive and Casto Road.
* Nitro: Woodland Drive, Frederick Street, Walker Street and Main Street.
* Poca: Poca River Road.
* Sissonville: Old Tuppers Creek Road.
* Clendenin: Cromwell Estates, Beech Avenue, Reamer Road, Thorofare Road and Grandview Road.
* Campbells Creek: Campbells Creek Road.
* Cannelton: Red Row.
* Montgomery: 700 block of 3rd Avenue.

With brew flowing and a serrated knife slicing through a tender prime rib, a New Year's Eve resolution was made. Starting tomorrow, therell be a lot less of this. Things had gotten out hand in the lead-up to Christmas and in the six days since the Yuletide. It had been a period of excess, with far too much eats and ale. On top of that, the most strenuous activity was pulling the tab on a Guinness or trying to rip open a stubborn bag of Party Mix. But all that changes with the new calender. There'll be regular exercise, healthy eating and a lot less beer. The commitment had been made before and has yet to be kept permanently. This time will be different. It has to be. Enough is Enough. The celebration of the New Year's Eve continues, with optimism about the year ahead and the pledge to take better care of myself. About two hours into the first slumber of 2010, that hope is crushed, temporarily at least. The big toe on my right foot is the same size as a Purolator truck. Gout! Add an accent over the U and gout is the French word for win, but in English, it means intense pain and, according to some doctors, overindulgence. A week has passed and the old gout is still making it painful to walk, let alone exercise. Hopefully soon. And hopefully 2010 is being good to you. Hopefully, unlike some of us, youve at least been able to start the year off on the right foot.
Resolution derailed two hours after 2010 begins

World Aids Day 2015
A statement by Martin Bloem, Senior Nutrition Advisor at the World Food Programme.
We have seen tremendous success in the AIDS response: against all odds, we have achieved the AIDS targets of MDG 6 and halted and reversed the epidemic. A new goal lies ahead of us now: ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 is ambitious, but realistic, and requires continuous activism. We need to build on this momentum and ensure continuous scale-up of testing, treatment and adherence to treatment. Read the full statement.
For every operation that the World Food Programme (WFP) undertakes, it has to establish what type and quantity of food people need. It's not just a question of providing food, but also making sure what arrives is nutritionally appropriate to address the problem at hand.
Using international standards and guidance, WFP's nutrition experts advise on appropriate food baskets for people facing hunger and the risk of malnutrition. Of course, diets are different all over the world and food assistance has to be matched with what the local population is used to cooking and eating. Learn more about WFP's nutrition food baskets that are distributed in programmes and humanitarian emergencies
Early Years Crucial
Some of our programmes have a very specific nutritional objective and try to address a specific deficiency or improve the nutritional intake of a specific group of people.
Research confirms that good nutrition in the early years of life is crucial for human growth and mental development. That's why a large part of WFP's nutrition work is directed at young children and mothers. WFP also works with other vulnerable groups, such as people living with HIV and children orphaned by AIDS. Learn more about WFP's response to HIV, AIDS and Tuberculosis.
Nutrition In All Operations
Nutrition considerations cut across all WFP operations and programmes. The agency is giving nutritional input, even in an emergency-related general food distribution. The same is true, in less dramatic circumstances, when it provides a snack of fortified biscuits or a hot meal for school children during the school day.
Malnutrition affects billions of people around the world. 45 percent of all deaths in children under the age of five are linked to undernutrition. WFP's role in fighting malnutrition is not only to treat it but also to prevent it becoming severe in the first place.
Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger
Key United Nation (UN) agencies working on food and nutrition issues are working to help countries with high levels of child undernutrition to scale up their response through an approach called REACH -- Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger and undernutrition. It puts countries in the lead and works through partnerships and coordinated action by UN agencies, civil society, donors, and the private sector. WFP is involved, along with the Food and Agriculture Organisation, UNICEF, World Health Organisation and IFAD. Learn more about REACH's tackle on undernutrition and its nutrition-sensitive approach that integrates the support and participation of different government sectors.
World Food Day 2014: Progress And Challenges
Senior Nutrition Advisor at the World Food Programme, Martin W. Bloem, highlights another year of progress in reducing global hunger.

It's a Pirates Life – Enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean Ship Tours and Sailings in Oregon
Save the date to join the fun and unleash your "inner pirate" as you set sail aboard the historic Tall Ships, Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain. Both ships will spend seven weeks navigating the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon with a stop in Stevenson, Washington. The ships are making the 225th Anniversary of the first American vessel to make landfall on the west coast of North America.
Considered the Official Ship of the State of Washington, the new Lady Washington is a full-scale reproduction of the original Lady Washington, a brig that sailed from Boston around Cape Horn to what would be later know as Vancouver Island in Canada. The expedition was led by Capt. Robert Gray, who discovered the mouth of the Columbia River and who gave his name to Grays Harbor, the home port to the modern Lady Washington.
Today, Lady Washington is better known as the HMS Interceptor from the first in the Disney "Pirates" movie line. In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Capt. Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, steals the Interceptor with the help of Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom.
The topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain is a replica of a typical European merchant trader of the turn of the nineteenth century. The Hawaiian Chieftain joins Lady Washington as part of Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority's educational cruises and ambassadorial visits along the west coast.
Skamania Lodge is pleased to host a weekend of fun, June 22nd and 23rd with these historic tall ships. Book our Pirates Stay-n-Play package and enjoy a two hour evening adventure sail aboard one of these exciting ships.
Learn more about this exciting package, adventure sailings and public tours by visiting Skamania's Pirate web page, or call the Lodge at (800) 221-7117.
This lodge is one of the friendliest places I know. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy working there and doing whatever they can to assist the guests.

Nelson Mandela, 95, first Black president of South Africa who fought for the freedom of his people and against apartheid, died at about 8:50 pm local time on Thursday. Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, current president of South Africa, said, "Our nation has lost its greatest son."
Mr. Zuma announced in a televised message late Thursday, "Our people have lost a father." Dressed in black, Zuma added that Mandela's death is the country's moment of "deepest sorrow" and that the Mandela family has "sacrificed much and endured so much that our people could be free."
Mandela has been in and out of the Mediclinic Hospital in Pretoria on more than six separate occasions this year undergoing treatment for lung infection. "His commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to," said U.S. President Barack Obama in an official statement on Thursday evening, adding that the late Mandela was "influential, courageous and profoundly good."
The noble family
Born on July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, a village close to the banks of the Mbashe River in the Transkei region, Mandela is the most famous South African in the world. His father, Gadla Henry Mphanyiswa Mandela, was a tall, imposing man who settled village quarrels. "I define myself through my father," Mandela once said. Continue Reading →

|Briar Patch
Sector 441
The planet Ba'ku was an inhabited M-class planet located in the Briar Patch, in Sector 441. It was the location of a Ba'ku colony, and was characterized by a unique effect caused by the planet's rings that cause the planet's inhabitants not to age.
Ba'ku was a ringed planet, the rings themselves being saturated with metaphasic radiation. The planet was home to a Ba'ku settlement, established in 2066 by a group of approximately 600 of the Ba'ku, fleeing their homeworld for fear of their race's self-destruction. The planet's radiation allowed the inhabitants to live extended life spans, In the late 23rd century, a group of the Ba'ku, disillusioned with the settlement's ways, left the planet, and became the Son'a.
In 2375, an attempt by the Son'a – led by Ahdar Ru'afo, and assisted by Starfleet officers under Matthew Dougherty – to strip the planet of its metaphasic particles and to forcefully relocate the Ba'ku to another planet, was stopped by the actions of Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E.
There are several mountains near the Ba'ku settlement that contain caves lined with kelbonite ore that protect from transporters.
There are many species of animal life on the Ba'ku planet, several of which can be seen in a Ba'ku children's book. These species' names are unknown, but pictures have been seen of a six-legged turtle-like animal, a polar bear-like animal, an animal that resembles an ancient Earth pterodactyl, and a Ba'ku butterfly.
Ba'ku also has a small caterpillar-like mammal, known as a rhyl. There are also several species of goats, llamas, fish, and a two-tailed kolibri.
Ba'ku wildlife
A deleted scene would have established that the Federation would ultimately make Ba'ku a protectorate.
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 60) and on the chart "United Federation of Planets I", Ba'ku was located in the Ba'ku system. This system was located in the Beta Quadrant. This system was a single star system. Primary was a Class K star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol. Ba'ku was listed as a member planet of the Federation in 2378.
Visual effects in scenes set on the Ba'ku planet were handled by Blue Sky/VIFX. (Cinefex, No. 77, p. 71)

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Funtoo Linux Installation"
(→stage3 filename changed: new section)
(No difference)
Revision as of 14:57, August 10, 2012
The crazy chroot command, while necessary I guess, is getting out of control. Is there a way we can trim it down and still keep things sane?
AFAK this is a SysRescueCD specific issue, alternative:
- chroot /funtoo/mount/path /bin/bash as usual
- once chrooted just unset path: unset path
Here are the rules for this doc -
- Keep things simple, and reasonably short.
- Explain all steps just enough to provide context, but not enough to interrupt the flow of the document.
- Integrate reasonable defaults into the doc that users can and will be expected to use successfully for their own installs. Don't include millions of "if/then" statements. Make reasonable assumptions.
- Recommend preferred approaches for install rather than exhaustively cover all possibilities.
- Don't use this doc to make your own personal recommendations.
- Don't cater to a specific sub-community - keep things general.
- Following this guide should result in a successful installation of Funtoo Linux.
- Optional topics should not clutter the main flow of the document - break them out to their own pages.
- Installing Funtoo can be educational, but the primary goal of this document is to help users get Funtoo Linux up and running successfully. Changes to the doc should be made in the hopes of increasing the % of successful installs. Educate, but do not overwhelm.
OK, I think I have repeated myself enough :)

WASHINGTON – Those little memory lapses, like forgetting names or losing keys, are aggravating for some people and worrisome for others.
But there is a way to fight back.
"It is pretty clear that memory loss is something you can do a lot about," says Dr. Neal Barnard, an adjunct professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine.
Think of your brain like you think of your heart — a vital muscle that needs nutrition, rest and, perhaps most of all, exercise.
"In the same way that you can keep a healthy heart, you can keep strong bones, you can keep a strong brain as well," says Barnard.
Experts agree that sleep is essential, and that not getting enough shut-eye can do damage to memory functions. Barnard says it is during the various phases of sleep that the brain integrates all the memories made over the course of a day.
"If you are awake during those times, your brain can't do the remembering, and you are going to have trouble keeping track of all of those things," he says.
He says a heart-healthy diet that keeps cholesterol in check also benefits the brain. And while some researchers say omega-3 fatty acids can help, Barnard says most supplements are not effective for the brain. The one exception he cites is the use of certain B vitamins for people with too much of the amino acid homocysteine in their blood.
Barnard, who is also president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, says exercise is key for both the body and the brain.
He says physical exercise gets blood and oxygen flowing to the brain. But equally as important is keeping the brain stimulated.
"People who have higher levels of education, people who speak more than one language, people who do the crossword puzzles or do the newspapers, their brains tend to age much more slowly," he says.
Barnard says it just goes to prove that when it comes to brain activity, "it really is use it or lose it."
He says people who stay active and mentally engaged are better able to resist the effects of aging.

A judge signed a restraining order against a former La Grange mayor Tuesday.
The emergency order prevents Elsie Carter from continuing renovations to her building at 114 E. Main St. due to safety concerns.
A stop-work order was issued by code enforcement officer Jeff Richardson in February after he noticed the second-story roof sagging.
Richardson has said he has concerns about the building's structural integrity.
Carter is having the second floor balcony renovated, including replacement of the columns that support the balcony's roof.

Thomas Warren, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Former NFL lineman Brian Holloway says the effects from numerous concussions he suffered in his eight-year playing career are starting to show in the form of slurred speech and forgetfulness.
"If there's a stage level of dementia, there's people that would say I have indicators of some level of that," says Holloway.
He was an offensive tackle for the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Raiders from 1981 to 1988. Holloway, 54, stands 6-feet-'7-inches tall and weighed between 280 to 290 pounds during his playing days.
He says he started paying more attention to his own well-being after watching the health of Hall-of-Fame player John Mackey deteriorate during the three years they toured together on speaking engagements.
"I saw him go from a dynamic, inspirational, relevant, clear, lucid, powerful, poignant, focused speaker to not even know who he was," Holloway says.
In 2011, Mackey died at the age of 69 from dementia. He was considered one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, and was the first president of the NFL Players Association.
Earlier this month, the league announced the "Head Health Initiative" to deal with concussions. The partnership with GE, and sports apparel maker Under Armor, commissions a four-year, $60 million study for developing new strategies to diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries players may suffer.
"The launch of the innovation challenges puts us on an accelerated path to progress with experienced scientists, academics and entrepreneurs dedicated to developing game-changing technologies that will benefit athletes, the military and all members of society," NFL Commissioner Roger Goddell sa id in a statement.
It's a move Holloway approves of.
"I think now for the first time we're able to find the ballplayers who disappeared, or are embarrassed, or are disabled and don't want to talk about it," he says.
Holloway maintains a very active lifestyle. The father of five sons and three daughters travels the world as a motivational speaker. He recently launched a women-friendly football website Donttellhim.com. And, is currently working on a children's book.
He says the strategies he's developed help him deal with his physical limitations.
"How can I offer myself the support, the strength, the ideas and resources to handle what may be going on in my body," he says.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Mikhail Grabovski scored the eventual
deciding goal in the third period as the Toronto Maple Leafs posted a 4-2
victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center. Phil Kessel and
Nikolai Kulemin also lit the lamp for Toronto, with Jay McClement adding
an empty-net tally to help back a 23-save effort from Ben Scrivens.
Philadelphia's Jakub Voracek continued his recent hot streak by recording a
goal and an assist, while Scott Hartnell netted his first marker of the season
in the loss. Claude Giroux assisted on both Flyers' scores. Ilya Bryzgalov
stopped 18-of-21 shots in Philadelphia's second defeat at the hands of the
Leafs this month, with Toronto registering a 5-2 home triumph in a Feb. 11
Final Score: Ottawa 2, Montreal 1 (SO)
Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Peter Regin's goal in the fifth round of the
shootout and Ben Bishop's 44-save effort lifted the Ottawa Senators over the
Montreal Canadiens, 2-1, in a Northeast Division battle. Dave Dziurzynski
scored in regulation for the Senators, who have won five in a row. Bishop
started his second straight game in net for an injured Craig Anderson,
who is out with a sprained right ankle suffered last Thursday against the New
York Rangers. Ottawa, which improved to 9-1-2 as the host this season, now
sits one point behind Montreal in the division standings. Andrei Markov
scored the lone goal for the Canadiens, who have recorded a point in eight
straight games, going 6-0-2 in those contests. Carey Price stopped 23-of-24
shots in defeat.
Final Score: Nashville 5, Dallas 4 (OT)
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Pekka Rinne had an off night for the
Nashville Predators. Fortunately, his team managed to break out of its scoring
slump. Roman Josi recorded a career-high two goals, including a power-play
tally 28 seconds into overtime, as the Predators halted a two-game skid
with a 5-4 come-from-behind triumph over the Dallas Stars at Bridgestone
Arena. After being shut out in their two most recent setbacks during a
stretch of four defeats in five games, Nashville received a four-point night
out of Josi and rallied from a 4-2 second-period deficit to offset a sluggish
performance by the usually reliable Rinne, who let up four goals in the middle
session and made just 20 saves. Mike Fisher tied the contest with 8:22
left in regulation with his 200th career goal, with Craig Smith and Patric
Hornqvist also lighting the lamp for a Nashville squad that entered the
contest as the NHL's lowest-scoring team. Matt Fraser netted his first
career NHL marker and Loui Eriksson had a goal and an assist for Dallas,
which suffered its third loss in four games despite three assists from Michael
Ryder. Christopher Nilstorp finished with 26 saves for the Stars.
Final Score: Chicago 3, Edmonton 2 (OT)
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The streak continues for the Chicago
Blackhawks. Marian Hossa scored 1:44 into overtime to lift the
Blackhawks over the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2, on Monday. Viktor Stalberg and
Patrick Kane also scored for Chicago, which is riding an NHL-record streak of
19 straight games to open the season with a point (16-0-3), surpassing
the previous record of 16 held by the 2006-07 Anaheim Ducks. Ray Emery made
17 saves for the Blackhawks, who have won six in a row. Chicago also improved
to 8-0-1 at home this season. Jeff Petry and Nail Yakupov scored for the
Oilers, who started a nine-game road trip on Monday. Nikolai Khabibulin
stopped 31-of-34 shots in defeat.

When he meets with about a dozen business executives at the White House today, President Barack Obama will be looking for support for $1.6 trillion in new revenue, to avoid the "fiscal cliff" in January.
A spokesman says Obama is bringing to the table a proposal involving new taxes on business and the wealthy. The targeted revenue is twice the amount Obama discussed with Republican leaders during debt talks last year.
Jay Carney says the figure, combined with $1.1 trillion in spending cuts already signed into law, would reduce deficits by $4 trillion.
Today's meeting with CEOs follows a gathering of labor leaders and liberal groups yesterday. Participants said Obama remained clear that he would push for his campaign pledge of making the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes.
Failure to act would bring automatic spending cuts and higher taxes on all Americans. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, middle-income families would pay an average of about $2,000 more next year.
The President has scheduled a news conference immediately before today's meeting with business leaders.

Schlongberg Sachs

Schlongberg Sachs is a company featured in Grand Theft Auto IV which engages corporate and investment banking. They are based off of the real life financial institution Goldman Sachs. They are sometimes mentioned on Weazel News in financial reports.
The Schlongberg Sachs headquarters are located on Asahara Rd., near Babbage Drive, in Alderney City, Alderney. It is a parody of the Military Park Building, also known as the NorCrown Bank Building, in Newark, NJ.
Other locations include:
- Bismarck Ave. and Silicon St., Lancaster, Algonquin
- They are apparently very well known for their successes and their employees' high bonuses, referencing the lucrative bonuses usually given to bankers at the end of the financial year. This is supported by the fact when Playboy X tells Niko Bellic during Blow Your Cover "I pay like a Schlongberg Sachs bonus!".
- Apparently the Pegorino Family owes money to the corporation as there is the place of start of the Out of Commission chase with Pegorino's men when they may be paying or getting money out of there.
- The name, "Schlong", referring to male genetalia, "berg" as a common Jewish surname ending (mocking the Jew/Money stereotype) and "Sachs", referring to "Goldman Sachs," a real-life bank that gains increasing attention from the public since the recent recession.

I just got this one today. it is a small Sea Urchin Basket. They were made by the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy tribes. They were very hard to make and they could not use a basket mold to weave around to get the shape. They would have to bend the splints too and keep everything uniform for the shape. Because of this, the artist could charge more for Urchin Baskets. Even after they are done, the splints can still break and it is hard to find one now that does not have damage. This one is about 4 1/2 in diameter by 3 1/4 in height, and has red and natural colors. It has faded some due to sunlight and time but the color is still very visible. I have other Urchin baskets and they all are different from each other. I would say this one was made around 1910-1930. This type of basket is getting harder and harder to find, and I only know of one Native American artist that is still making Urchin baskets, and that artist is Jeremy Frey of the Passamaquoddy Tribe. His baskets are very sought after and I am happy to say that I have a Urchin basket that was made by him now. I do love how he has taken the shape of the old Urchin basket and made it modern.
This is the fourth old Urchin Basket I have been able to find (that was not damaged totally) in 4 years of looking. Enjoy the pics. :)

About Gioco
Gioco pioneered the retail development of the South Loop when it opened in September of 1999. The restaurant has been a mainstay in the neighborhood as other restaurants and stores have opened up over the years. Gioco is located in an historic building built in 1890 and is one of the few remaining buildings in Chicago from that era. The Gioco space features the original old brick and plaster walls, an old wooden walk-in cooler and a walk-in safe built into the wall, used by the Chicago gangsters for one of the gambling and/or brothel houses that dominated the area in the early 1900s. Gioco Restaurante was designed to retain these old world elements and to feature them in a modernized space.
Gioco's menu offers rustic Italian dishes prepared with the finest available seasonal products. The menu features homemade pastas and wood-fired thin crust pizzas.
