The Witty Bits of a Play
LONDON—Two new plays and one revival, just opened here, focus our attention on the playwrights and their skills in an odd way. From its title, "No Naughty Bits," fans know instantly that this new piece by Steve Thompson at the Hampstead Theatre (until Oct. 15; www.hampsteadtheatre.com ) has to do with Monty Python's Flying Circus. Indeed, it's about the real-life 1975 legal case in the U.S., when the Pythons tried to stop ABC from censoring their final series (the one without John Cleese) by cutting out "the naughty bits."
As the main characters are Michael Palin (whose pathological pliability is perfectly caught by Harry Hadden-Paton) and Terry Gilliam (Sam Alexander, who makes his character's grudge against his native U.S. unpredictably attractive), you expect Mr. Thompson to have written his play in Python-length sketches (like the bisexual war hero in a World War II-skit that has to be explained to dumbfounded network executives). Instead, you get witty one-liners delivered by the judge, blissfully played by Matthew Marsh. Edward Hall directs this improbably successful comedy with sharp teeth disguised by its silly grin.
At the Almeida, Stephen Poliakoff directs his own first stage-play in 12 years, "My City" (until Nov. 5; www.almeida.co.uk ). The plot: a grown-up man and woman meet three teachers who inspired them at school. The plot is interspersed between flashbacks to the daily assemblies held in most British schools. At their particular North London school, assembly was used as an opportunity to teach the art of storytelling, and the significance and importance of observation and memory.
Just at the interval, when you sense there's something creepy about the teachers, and hope they'll rescue the play by turning out to be vampires, it turns into a state-of-the-nation play. Commendable concern is shown about the harm done to young people's aspirations by celebrity culture—and so on. The cast is sensational: Tracey Ullman, David Troughton and Sorcha Cusack are the teachers who make your flesh crawl, and Tom Riley and Siân Brooke the oozing-charm students.
Inside this holdall, carrying everything you can think of (even the Holocaust), there's a play struggling to get out. But not a stage-play. It might just work on TV or film, where jump-cuts and montage can get you from one scene to another. But here, even the entrances and exits are so arbitrary that you feel slightly embarrassed for actors having to say clunky lines such as, "And now I'm off into the night, what's left of it," for no better reason than that the character is no longer needed on stage.
At the Vaudeville (until Dec. 10; www.nimaxtheatres.com ), the versatile, clever Iqbal Khan directs the marvelous Antony Sher (as Phillip Gellburg, the "only Jew ever employed" by his Brooklyn mortgage firm), Tara Fitzgerald (as his wife, Sylvia) and Stanley Townsend (as the classy Jewish doctor who treats them both) in Arthur Miller's 1994 "Broken Glass." Miller specified that a solo cello (a composition by Grant Olding rendered splendidly by Laura Moody) should play between each scene, which makes the transitions so elegant that it doesn't matter that you see Ms. Fitzgerald, the (psychosomatically) paralyzed wife, climbing into bed.
The actors work too hard at their Brooklyn accents and Miller belabors his point, but he at least demonstrates the craft to do it poetically and smoothly. The play's title refers to Kristallnacht, it's set in 1938, and it solves the mystery of why Sylvia has lost the use of her legs: Thanks to these dazzling performances, you can just about accept Miller's slightly humorless conclusion, conveyed in typical bravura fashion by Mr. Sher, that her illness is caused by the Hitler that lurks inside every impotent, self-hating Jewish husband.

It's hard to look anywhere these days without running into a stark warning about the global economy, courtesy of FedEx Corp. The company has been exerting its status as a bellwether company in recent weeks, warning about its earnings outlook, reporting a dip in quarterly earnings and cutting its full-year forecast – all by noting that the global economy is acting as the company's biggest headwind.
In a conference call with analysts on Tuesday, FedEx's chief executive Fred Smith sounded like an economic strategist: According to the Wall Street Journal, he warned that some observers were underestimating the impact of slowing Chinese exports, and new product launches by Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp. were likely to provide little more than a temporary lift.
Because FedEx is a global shipping company, it is seen as having an on-the-ground view of how the global economy is functioning, and without any significant time lag. As an economic forecaster, the company is worth listening to.
The company is also cutting its global economic outlook. It now sees the global economy growing just 2.7 per cent next year, down from an earlier estimate of 3 per cent.
That's very different from the most recent outlook published by the International Monetary Fund. The IMF in July trimmed its global growth forecast, but at 3.9 per cent that growth is still expected to be far stronger than FedEx's outlook.
With FedEx warning that things aren't so great in the economy, you have to wonder why the S&P 500 is within 1 per cent of a four-and-a-half year high. We pointed out in this space two weeks ago that the broader market in recent years has failed to heed FedEx signals: "FedEx's share price successfully predicted the bear market decline that followed the financial crisis about five years ago. The shares began to retreat from their high point in February 2007, five months before the benchmark S&P 500 began to show any signs of concern. By the time the S&P 500 began to retreat, in October 2007, FedEx shares had already fallen 12 per cent."
For what it's worth, FedEx has fallen 10 per cent since February, while the S&P 500 last week rallied to its highest level since the end of 2007.
Kevin Crissey, an analyst at UBS, noted that in general freight transportation stocks have been reflecting the global economic slowdown – not just in China, but Europe and the United States as well: The stocks have been languishing this year as the S&P 500 climbs 16 per cent.
"If transport stocks had rallied with the market, we'd be very bearish on all of them," he said in a note. "However, for the most part they haven't and valuations are reasonable to cheap with bad news mostly telegraphed."
So he asks: Are these stocks dead money or is there upside from current levels?
In the case of U.S. railway stocks, Mr. Crissey believes that dead money is the most likely scenario for now. He reduced is recommendation on Union Pacific, CSX Corp. and Norfolk Southern to "neutral." And he cut his recommendation on Kansas City Southern to "sell."
Meanwhile, analysts remain upbeat on FedEx in their recommendations, but have been reducing their 12-month target prices on the stock. On Wednesday, Goldman Sachs cut its target to $97 from $101. JPMorgan cuts its target to $99 from $104. And Barclays cut its target to $100 from $107.Report Typo/Error

Naseem's Group
She lives in Faisalabad, which is famous for its textile industry. She lives there in a two-room brick house in the area of Barkatpura. She moved here 15 years ago with her family.
Her husband is a mason by profession. Naseem has three sons. She couldn't educate them due to financial constraints. Her eldest son follows the same profession of his father. He supports his father in his business. The son next to him is a car mechanic while the youngest one works as a salesman for a low income.
Naseem is also a very good mother and a housewife. She takes care of her family very well and does her household responsibilities. She has two years of experience in her business and she is hopeful that a loan investment will prove beneficial for her business' further growth.
She is a regular loan user of Asasah and this is her second loan application. In her previous loan year, she established good credit behavior and never missed a meeting.
Note: In the photo, the lady with her hand raised is Naseem.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1425 Studio in the Marina
If you're in the market for a studio in the Marina you're in luck, as we saw lots of viable apartments while finding this week's Craigslist deal. We chose this particular space, located on Chestnut about a block away from Fillmore, because it has been recently remodeled and features a more spacious common area than most of the other available places. We like that the kitchen is separate from the bedroom/living area and includes a little nook for a small dining table, so you don't have to eat a foot away from your bed. More snaps for all the storage space in the kitchen (love those white cabinets) and the included dishwasher and microwave.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1599 1 Bedroom in North Beach
For some, North Beach calls to mind alcohol-fueled debachery, strip clubs, and bus loads of tourists as far as the eye can see. If that's your thing, sweet. If not, don't write the place off yet. Stop by on a weekday and you'll find a charming, picturesque neighborhood filled with little Italian grandmas, one-of-a-kind boutiques (Al's Attire is our fave), and amazing bakeries (have you ever tried a slice of Stella Bakery's sacrapantina? Fuggedaboutit - so good). The location is nothing to sneeze at either. If you work downtown it's just a brisk walk away, meaning you could say 'arrivederci' to that soul-crushing morning MUNI ride you loathe.
Craigslist Deal O' the Week: 1 Bedroom in Noe for $1600
Livin' the dream in Noe Valley usually entails a golden retriever and at least one baby, but it could just as easily entail scoring a one bedroom for less than $1700. Yup, it's a notoriously pricey neighborhood, and with good reason - consistently decent weather and more breakfast joints per capita than anywhere this side of the Mississippi (uncorroborated fact) means you're almost guaranteed a relaxing, sunny weekend (should the screaming children not spoil your three hour brunch). You can also use your Noe Valley digs as a calming respite between jaunts to the Mission or Castro (both nearby), and really show those yuppies how to live the dream.
Craigslist Deal: Dog Friendly Apartment in Cole Valley for $1375
We've resigned ourselves to the fact that a cute, dog-friendly apartment in San Francisco just might be an urban legend. For some reason landlords equate a dog's destructive tendencies to something on par with housing a wild grizzly bear or pack of weasels. That said, somehow there are dogs everywhere in the city, which begs the question, where do they all live? Our quest for finding decent housing for a human and a dog (at a deal) at first seemed like attempting to locate El Dorado, but we soon stumbled upon this little gem in Cole Valley.

So why might you, if you are operating a cPanel-based VPS for your own Drupal sites, want to consider switching from suPHP to DSO ?
"Your Drupal site got hacked ? Well it's entirely your own fault ! You should always do your updates ! You've only got yourself to blame (and don't dare blame the security holes in that older Drupal code) !!!"
This guide will cover how to deploy multiple sites from within a single Drupal installation for a local user
There are plenty of alternative debugging methods using some popular PHP libraries XDebug, XHProf, NuSphere PhpED, etc. and also most of the IDE have already built-in step-by-step debugger.
Following are some useful Unix/Linux commands which are helpful if you are dealing with large sites (files and db size). I find these really handy when moving sites from one server to other, taking backups of Files, Database etc.
Note: To get access to the Unix command line, you will need an SSH client (e.g. Putty). You can also use WinSCP if you are not comfortable with Command line. WinSCP has a feature to enter custom commands using its interface.
Please add other command-line commands that you use while setting up, developing and managing your Drupal sites.
Zip Contents of current directoryzip -r zipfile.zip *
zip -r zipfile.zip *
Unzip Contents into current directoryunzip zipfile.zip
unzip zipfile.zip
Unzip (and extract) the tar'd, gzipped archive (tarball) Contents into current directorytar zxvf tarballfile.tar.gz

This information enhances the documentation for the Drupal Memcache module. The Drupal configuration on this page is for Drupal 6, while the other information below is Drupal version agnostic. For Drupal 7 sites on Ubuntu 12.04 you may want to see this post.
Drupal allows you to run multiple sites from a single Drupal code installation -- each with its own modules, content, theme, etc. For instance, you can run:
For a live multi-site installation, see Multisites Using Drupal 7.
This page describes one way to run multiple test sites on your local computer with Drupal 7 on Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04 and Mandriva 2010.2. But the method probably works with little modifications for other distributions. Purposedly, we only present one way to do that, in details, and we try to explain a bit what we're doing. We're not sure whether this procedure contains mistakes or not, and we think it probably contains useless things.
Note: if you are creating multiple sites, it is desirable to make a list of the desired sites before reading through these instructions completely. Some steps can be done in bulk to save time.

Intuitive Reinvention
Things Aren't Right
You Know it, but you can't quite put your finger on it.
And you want it fixed... NOW.
You've read books, bought a new home and boarded planes to escape, but you're still stuck in the same place. Why? You can try on a new outfit, but that doesn't change what's underneath. Using energy, intuition and psychology, I dig into what's really going on (chances are it's not what you think!). Then I provide tools to chip away at the real blocks… not the ones you've unsuccessfully tried to knock down.
I've been there, and will navigate so you stop rationalizing and start seeing movement.
In Tracy's Words (And Others)

American Flyers=way too emotional. Great movie but hard to watch a second time... not saying that I have any emotions or anything...
This bicycle by no means is anything special. I built this lil bugga up for my wife to cruise around on. Right now it has a mash up of parts but will eventually be full Shimano 105 1050 series
this is my bike. It was a garbage found and should be a Winora Amateure. I Painted it and mounted new tyres, saddle and pedals. All Shimano gold arrow. After polishing the aluminium:
Hopefully I can take it with me when we move from Germany to Seattle.
Best regards, Wolf
wow, awesome bikes everyone.
i saw this lejeune today, it won a "most classic bike" contest after a ride/event. cottered cranks, wingnuts, and a crusty lookin saddle. there were only like 4 people competing for the gift card anyway, including my '73 ron kitching fixed gear conversion, an 80s columbus serotta with fastback seat stays and dura-ace, and an 80s aluminum guerciotti just like this one

In 2004, the U.S. Government asked farmers to use EID or Electronic Identification ear tags on all their cattle. This request was part of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) spurred by the discovery of the first case of mad cow disease in the United States. Problem is - the EID tags they told farmers to use don't work very well. If you tried to use an EID tag to identify an animal, you had to walk right up to that animal and stick a long rod within a few inches of the animal's ear, which is not always very easy. Clearly, the designers never tried to get a 1200 lbs cow to stay still after giving it a vaccination.
Animal Identification Number (AIN) Tags also had to be visible, which typically meant tagging the animal a second time. In addition to these challenges, farmers were concerned that other people could access their confidential information and so only about 30 percent of cattle producers tried using these EID tags. Even so, the majority of the EID ear tags on cattle in U.S. and Canada are using this older generation technology.
All EID tags use radio frequency identification, or RFID, technology. The first international standards used specifically for animal identification are ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. RFID standards have improved a lot since this standards were introduced and today farmers all over the world are now using the next generation RFID technology for Electronic Identification of Cattle, which uses the ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard. This is the same standard being used by retailers for global supply chain operations and traceability, which includes fresh produce and other food items. Not only does Ear tags using this standard meet the Animal Disease Traceability criteria for official identification for individual animals, but farmers can identify all the animals in a herd faster (hundreds per minute) and from further away (4 meters or more). Most importantly, the next generation cattle management systems that use this standard keep farmer's confidential information secure so they're in control of who sees their records.

"I'm looking at it only with what I can save," Gregoire said at a news conference on Wednesday. "Not whether I will sign it."
SB 5073 would license storefront dispensaries and grow operations, and protect registered patients from arrest, reports Andrew Garber at the Seattle Times.
But the governor indicated the bill would not survive in its present form.
"I cannot and will not subject state employees to criminal prosecution at the federal level," Gregoire said, despite the fact that no state employees have ever been subjected to federal prosecution in any medical marijuana state.
"I think that would be highly irresponsible on my part," she said, not mentioning how irresponsible it is to leave thousands of seriously ill patients with no safe access.
Gregoire was referring to state employees who would collect fees or inspect and audit dispensaries and producers under the bill.

|Lee Rosenberg: "As a result of the governor's veto, a slowly emerging medical marijuana industry that wants to operate legally, pay taxes, and adhere to state regulations is now preparing for armed raids on their establishments"
"As a result of the governor's expected veto, a slowly emerging medical marijuana industry that wants to operate legally, pay taxes, and adhere to state regulations is now preparing for armed raids of their establishments," wrote political commentator Lee Rosenberg at Horses Ass.
"Gregoire, as it turned out, fabricated a controversy to argue that if state employees issued the dispensary licenses, they could be held criminally liable (even though other states license dispensaries, none of those state employees have been prosecuted, and federal policy and procedure on medical pot hasn't changed)," wrote Dominic Holden at The Stranger. "Gregoire's speculation is unfounded, but that's her argument."
"In doing so, Gregoire would guarantee that these dispensaries remain out of compliance with state law, and thus, Gregoire is inviting federal raids on sick people and their care providers," Holden wrote. "So in order to avoid a fake specter of something unrealistic happening (feds busting state employees), she is welcom[ing] a real, consequential set of raids on some of the most vulnerable people in the state."
"I don't even know that I could implement the law," the governor said, because two U.S. Attorneys in the state have warned -- after being "asked for direction" by the governor, mind you -- that state workers could be subject to federal prosecution, despite the 2009 policy statement from the Obama Department of Justice that patients and providers (let alone state employees) wouldn't be federal targets.
"If I ask state employees to do it, I don't know that they'd volunteer," Gregoire fibbed. "I wouldn't. So I don't expect any state employee to volunteer. Therefore I can't implement it."
Gregoire claimed there were certain aspects of the bill -- such as arrest protection for patients -- that she'd like to save, if possible.
"I think we need a registry to prevent arrest of medical patients," she said.
The governor didn't mention what would keep federal agents from raiding everyone on the state medical marijuana registry -- in fact, if her concerns about federal raids on state employees are real, why doesn't she seem at all concerned about federal raids on patients?
Meanwhile, Washington patients and providers are battening down the hatches and preparing for federal raids -- thanks to the hen-hearted non-leadership from the governor's office.

Update on Lilliana PatriciaLiliana is married and the mother of 3 daughters, one who is 13 years old, and twins who are 2 years old. She is a saleswoman and an owner of a local convenience store. She is thankful for having benefited from her first Kiva loan, which she used to purchase grains, milk products, cleaning products, and she stocked her store and offered variety to her customers.
Today she requires financing to purchase basic grains, perfumes, cosmetics, makeup, and decorations. Mother's day is nearing and the majority of her customers are looking for presents to give, so she wants to be prepared to attend to the demand of her customers. Furthermore, it is an opportunity to improve the incomes of her businesses. The other business that she wants to have in the future is the sale of electric appliances in order to diversify her income and improve the quality of life of her family.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Hey all, we're having our first meeting of 2012, a meet-and-greet at 7 PM on Thursday, May 24 at Gordon Biersch in beautiful downtown Burbank.
This is going to be a very informal meeting. That means we'll mostly just be hanging out and talking on the Gordon Biersch patio, weather permitting, so there won't be any speakers or demos scheduled (and you're totally going to be paying for your own check!) But that also means you can show up a little late or leave early, no problem.
We're just going to have a little social time, make friends and enjoy the evening, much like our 2011 meeting. But this time we're going to devise our schemes, er, make our plans for upcoming meetings. So if you have an idea about something you might want to speak about in the future, that would be so very welcome.
We'll put the details on our newly-minted Meetup group soon as well if you want to join there, but no RSVP is needed — you can just drop by. Hope you can join us for the inaugural GDG LA meeting!
Had a great time!

Hi John! We are hoping to have events throughout the LA area (our last event in 2011 was nearly in Orange County). I am practically sure we will be in or near Santa Monica for an upcoming meeting, just thinking of the convenience of any potential speakers. But everyone in the Valley and near Burbank, this one's for you!
0 · May 24, 2012
Hi! I live in South Bay. I really wish I could go, but the thought of driving north on the 405 at rush hour gives me preTSD. Will there be any future meetings a little farther south, maybe in Santa Monica? Have one for me. -John

Small little update with huge results. I updated my tool to work with showing exactly where goto commands will lead to, and this has gotten me MUCH better at finding out what things do. The debug menu and tests are a big help as well! Most/all sound related commands are now known, setting dungeon modes known, a few placing commands known, and a bit more about actions known. I might actually release an alpha later this week. Maybe on Saturday. In any case, working on this and getting breakthroughs is awesome =D

What's the Craziest Place You've Breastfed in Public?Emily Malone
With my due date creeping closer and closer, I'm starting to worry less and less about labor and delivery, and am focusing my energy now on learning how to take care of the baby once it actually arrives. One of my main topics of research? Breastfeeding.
I think every new mom worries that breastfeeding will be challenging. And even if my baby does get the hang of it, I still can't quite imagine what it's like to be a human milk machine all day long!
The Babble editors recently polled moms on Twitter, asking "What's the craziest/coolest place you've breastfed in public?" From a state fair to a royal palace, these moms showed me that breastfeeding can truly be done anywhere…
The Happiest Place on Earth 1 of 8In a theme park full of moms, it's bound to happen eventually.
Putting on a Show 2 of 8Dolphins and airplanes! When the baby is hungry, mom's gotta do what she's gotta do. Hopefully the shows helped distract and gave this mom a bit more privacy.
Meal with a View 3 of 8This sounds like such a peaceful and relaxing place to feed a baby. While the nursery and glider are relaxing at home, it doesn't get any better than fresh air and a gorgeous view.
Animal Instincts 4 of 8Mama elephants carry their young for two YEARS - can you imagine? After 24 months of pregnancy, I imagine breastfeeding is no big deal to them.
The Royal Breast 5 of 8Talk about a meal fit for a king!
Play Ball 6 of 8Hey, it's not traditional ballpark food, but babies need to eat at the game too!
C'est La Vie 7 of 8When your baby needs to eat, you're gonna feed him. Such is life, right?
To the Races 8 of 8Breastmilk was probably one of the healthiest dining options at the state fair! This mom definitely gets our vote for craziest place to feed in public.
What's the craziest/coolest place that YOU have breastfed? Can you top any of these?

AUSTIN (AP) - A new neighbor moves in down the block. An average Joe, or a paroled sex offender who still may be looking for victims?
The state requires law enforcement agencies to publish in local newspapers the age, gender and general address of every paroled sex offender.
For Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, that information doesn't go far enough.
Wentworth has filed a bill to require police to publish photographs of those paroled offenders. Pictures, he said, are the easiest way to identify paroled sex offenders and are vital for parents to keep their children safe.
The bill has been heard in the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, where it remains pending.
"All we're telling you right now is there's a sex offender living in your neighborhood. Good luck," said Wentworth, who is noted in the Legislature for his efforts to open government records to public access.
The identification requirements he wants to expand were created in a package of regulations known as "Ashley's Laws." They were passed in 1995 after the 1993 abduction and murder of 7-year-old Ashley Estell of Plano by a paroled sex offender. Louisiana currently publishes the pictures of some paroled sex offenders, Wentworth said.
However, some lawmakers and law enforcement officials are cautioning that a published photograph could lead to mistaken identity and tragic consequences should someone attempt to pursue vigilante justice.
Among them is Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, author of "Ashley's Laws."
"The problem I see, people see the picture . . . now what are they going to do with that information?" Shapiro asked when the bill was heard in committee.
Wentworth responded: "I would hope he would keep his kids away from that person."
Despite her concern, Shapiro said she supports the bill.
"I think sometimes people do fly off the handle in an emotional way when they see someone who might possibly could be a sex offender," Shapiro said.
"I am for anything that will give people more tools," she said. "The balance that we took in (1995) was what I thought was necessary to implement this in Texas."

Free Agent looking for work
Area looking for work
I work on multiple fields, but I'm more skilled towards designing and spriting characters and creatures of many sorts (Fakemon), maps, animations, and helping out with storyline/quests. I am however no coder, sorry! In the near future I'll be able to make music.
Pacific Standard Time (PST) Timezone only matters on school days, haha.
Preferred method of contact
Private message here would be fine.
Examples of work
I'll admit I only have traditional artwork with me since I only have one pixel Fakemon on this computer (and it's not my best), but if you give me something to sprite I'll be more than happy to do what you instruct for an example. Don't be afraid to contact me.
Additional Info
I have never been on a team before besides my independent project, but I hope to find people who are as enthusiastic and excited about game development process as I am. I am dedicated and have a lot of patience, as it would break my heart to see any of these great projects discontinue.

Jobs, economics complicate Brazil's Amazon fight
NOVO PROGRESSO, Brazil Drawing his .40-caliber pistol, Severiano Pontes dashes across the steaming, muddy jungle floor, a hunch telling him what he would find around a bend.
The thick Amazon rain-forest canopy suddenly opens to a clearing where massive Jatobas and other hardwood trees have been reduced to 40 waist-high trunks lying on the ground. Fires set to help clear the underbrush still smolder nearby, sending sinewy gray smoke columns into the sea-blue sky.
Pontes and his environmental agents patrol the Amazon to prevent illegal clearing, part of Brazil's new, aggressive effort to preserve a jungle the size of the U.S. west of the Mississippi River. The government says such teams are the main reason that deforestation has slowed this year to its lowest level in two decades.
But more often Pontes' agents arrive too late.
Instead, they find graveyards of felled trees resembling twisted, blackened fossils and earth covered in a gray layer of ash. They leave with their hands and faces coated with charcoal dust and a barbecue smell that lingers even after showering hours later.
Pontes holsters his pistol, confident armed ranch hands who often defend the illegal clearings are not around, and pulls out a tape measure.
"This one, let's start with this one here!" Pontes yells, pointing to a huge chunk of a Jatoba, trees that grow higher than 35 meters (120 feet) and are popular for flooring in the U.S. and Europe. "We've got to measure all this up."
The evidence will help their agency, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources, or Ibama, impose fines and other penalties.
"These trees have been cut, you cannot reverse that," Pontes says. "What must be done at this point is swift punishment to stop more from being knocked down."
World leaders set to gather in Copenhagen next month to draft a new accord on fighting climate change already admit the much-anticipated summit won't produce a global treaty. There are too many disagreements among countries on how to reduce heat-trapping carbon emissions blamed for warming the planet.
So far, the Brazilian government has focused mostly on enforcement.
The Brazilian Amazon is arguably the world's biggest natural defense against global warming, acting as a "sink," or absorber, of carbon dioxide. But it is also a great contributor to warming. About 75 percent of Brazil's emissions come from rainforest clearing, as vegetation burns and felled trees rot.
Advocates have long pressed to defend the world's rain forests, to save animal and plant species, safeguard watersheds and protect indigenous people's homelands. For Brazil, water vapor from the forest is also vital to its rainy climate. But the government now has another reason to protect the Amazon: A new global climate agreement is expected to reward countries for "avoided deforestation," with cash or credits tradable on the global carbon market.
In the last year, the government says its stepped-up patrols have confiscated about 230,000 cubic meters (8 million cubic feet) of wood, have frozen development on more than a million acres of land and have resulted in $1.6 billion in fines.
But policing a giant region that is mostly impassable because of thick vegetation is daunting for any country, rich or poor.
So the Ibama strategy has been limited to selective shock and awe, targeting states such as Para – home to Novo Progresso – where deforestation rates from August 2008 through this July, the period Brazil uses to calculate its annual deforestation, were three times that of other Amazon states.
Ibama doubled the number of agents to 1,400 to cover the Amazon. About 50 at any one time are concentrated in Novo Progresso, a county the size of Maryland with its 14,800 square miles (38,300 square kilometers) and 21,500 residents, most of whom make a living off jungle clearing.

POLL: Men prefer curvy women!
Men 'prefer curvy women to those those who are size zero', study claims
Men prefer "normal" sized women with average weight and curves than those who are fashionably thin with a size zero body, a study claims.
Hollywood actresses Scarlett Johansson or Kate Winslet are considered more attractive and healthy-looking than Victoria Beckham or Paris Hilton, Scottish researchers found.
The University of St Andrews study, published in the scientific journal Perception, surveyed a group of students, aged between 18 and 26, were asked to rate photographs of female faces for attractiveness and health.
They concluded that young men rated girls in the "normal" weight range as the most attractive and healthy looking.
The researchers say the findings send a strong message to young women who believe that you need to be underweight to be considered attractive.
"We often remark on how healthy or unhealthy someone looks, but it can be very difficult to say precisely how we know this," said lead researcher Vinet Coetzee.
"Scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and have made many breakthroughs in our understanding of health and attractiveness, but until now they have tended to overlook the influence of weight."
The University's Perception Lab asked 84 female students a variety of questions on their health, took their blood pressure and photographed them.
The photographs were then shown to a group of male students who were asked to rate them for health, attractiveness and weight.
Professor David Perrett added: "A take home message for young people is that maintaining a normal weight benefits current health and will improve good looks.
"In our study, people in the normal weight range were judged healthier and more attractive than under or overweight individuals.
"This sends a strong message to all the girls out there who believe you have to be underweight to be attractive.
"The people making judgments in our study were all between the ages of 18 and 26 and they did not rate underweight girls most attractive.
"They preferred normal weight girls."
Having this information, are you happy with your current weight/figure?

Single-Family Housing:
Stronger Measures Needed to Encourage Better Performance by Management and Marketing Contractors
T-RCED-00-180: Published: May 16, 2000. Publicly Released: May 16, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6520
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) single family housing program, focusing on the implementation of its management and marketing contracts.
GAO noted that: (1) HUD has experienced widespread problems with the management and marketing contracts since they started in April 1999; (2) property maintenance and security, which was a problem under HUD's previous property disposition approach, remains a significant problem; (3) although monitoring improvements have aided HUD's ability to detect such problems, these improvements have not had a sufficient impact in remedying them; (4) in addition, older properties have accumulated in inventory as the contractors have focused their sales efforts on the newly acquired, more saleable properties; and (5) also, while HUD encourages contractors to sell properties quickly, it does not provide incentives for the contractors to focus on properties that have been in inventory for a long period of time.

Very cute pops!!!
By G's Party
from Aurora, IL
Comments about ... 80's Personalized Lollipops (12 Pack):
I used this for my son\'s theme party and the pops are great size. The personalized stickers are cute but very faded as if they were sitting out in the sun. So it was a bit disappointing when I recieved because I didn\'t have time to trade them in and reorder new ones..but overall they are cute ideas.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

As other reviewers have said, the original Nenya design has been altered for the purposes of creating a sturdier, more wearable ring. This improves it in my opinion, as I prefer chunky jewellery to the frail, spidery, diaphanous ring that appears in the films.
The best replica available, and I'm sure no-one could regret buying it. Hide.

I'm very impressed by the workmanship of this piece. As others have stated, it's a perfect balance between practical, wearable design and stunning craftsmanship.
The cubic zirconia is a nice addition, much higher quality that the improperly set crystals that many other Nenya replicas have. Hide.

Supreme Court Denies Teva's Request - Analyst Blog
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
) announced that the Chief Justice of the U.S. denied its appeal
of a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit that invalidated the claim of U.S. Patent 5,800,808
covering Teva's relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
product, Copaxone 20mg/mL. The company said that it will continue
pursuing its appeal in the Supreme Court.
We remind investors that the '808 patent was invalidated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit last year. The U.S. Orange Book patent covering Copaxone is set to expire in May 2014 and worldwide in May 2015.
Copaxone generated approximately $4.3 billion in worldwide sales in 2013, accounting for more than 21% of the company's total revenues. U.S. sales were $3.2 billion in 2013. Teva has undertaken several initiatives (including developing new candidates targeting multiple sclerosis (MS) and a new formulation of Copaxone) to mitigate the impact of genericization.
Earlier this year, Teva launched its three times-weekly (3TW) formulation of Copaxone (40mg/mL) in the U.S. and is looking to switch 30%−50% of Copaxone patients to the new formulation by year's end.
We note that several generic companies including Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ( MNTA )/Sandoz Inc. and Mylan ( MYL )/Natco Pharmaceuticals are looking to get marketing approval for their generic versions of Copaxone. Mylan expects to gain approval for its generic version by May 25 and expects to be the first to launch a generic version of the product.
Meanwhile, Teva settled its patent infringement lawsuit with Pfizer ( PFE ) regarding its generic version of Pfizer's Celebrex (50, 100, 200 and 400 mg capsules) in the U.S. Teva, which has received tentative FDA approval for its generic version of Celebrex, can launch its generic Celebrex in the U.S. in or before Dec 2014. According to IMS Health, Celebrex generated revenues of $2.2 billion in 2013.
We remind investors that Teva's guidance for 2014 includes two scenarios: Copaxone remaining exclusive and Copaxone going generic from Jun 1, 2014. The entry of Copaxone generics in 2014 could reduce total revenues by about $500 million and earnings by 60 cents. According to Teva, each month of delay in the entry of generic versions of Copaxone will add $78 million to revenues and 8 cents to earnings.
The MS market is crowded with several approved drugs (injectables and oral therapies) including Gilenya and Tecfidera.
Teva carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Momenta and Mylan also hold a Zacks Rank #2.

It seems to be an increasing trend since the economy took a dip several years ago. Private fundraising for government programs is not necessarily new. State universities have long engaged in fundraising, especially with their alumni and elementary school groups have long held bake sales. End and Means: Reports Say Tax Cuts Won't Spur Economic Development By Charles N. Wheeler III • Apr 1, 2014 WUIS/Illinois Issues Guess what? State tax cuts don't improve economic growth. No, that's not an April Fool's Day zinger. Rather, it's the conclusion of a report issued last month by the Fiscal Policy Center at Voices for Illinois Children, a nonpartisan advocacy organization for the state's youngsters (Poor Finances, Uncertainty about Looming Revenue Collapse Threaten State Economy). Decatur Job Troubles Spur Business Law By Brian Mackey • Aug 22, 2013 Brian Mackey/WUIS Thursday's unemployment numbers show Decatur is once again lagging the rest of Illinois. That long-term trend is partly responsible for a new law aimed at changing the way Illinois handles economic development. In Decatur, 13.2 percent of job-seekers can't find work. State Sen. Andy Manar — a Democrat whose district includes Decatur — says that's part of the reason he thought it was time to blow up the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and start over. Got a Plan? Some Illinois communities are preparing for the effects of growth By Bethany K. Warner • Jul 1, 2003 It's a land-use squeeze play: Rockford is expanding eastward, while Chicagoland is creeping westward from McHenry County. Boone County is sandwiched in between. "We're getting hit from both sides," says Mark Williams, executive director of Growth Dimensions, a nonprofit organization promoting economic development in that county. Development spilling out of Chicago, for example, is just miles from consuming Belvidere, the Boone County seat that is more than 70 miles from the Loop. Joliet Rising: The foundation for renewed prosperity was built on diversification and expansion By Ken O'Brien • Jun 1, 2001 John Randolph / WUIS/Illinois Issues Two decades ago Joliet faced an economic crisis. A national depression hammered industry and related businesses, and layoffs pushed the local unemployment rate near 25 percent, the highest of any municipality in the country. City Hall ran late on health insurance premiums for its own employees. And the housing market hit bottom. In 1982, only 16 homes were built in this city southwest of Chicago. "Things got so bad then that they could only issue us one bullet," says Joliet Mayor Arthur Schultz, a police lieutenant at the time.

I definitely want to see a Scrafty evolution, if only to see what kind of things they could come up with.
As for that gory Cubone theory, that's definitely a very interesting way to look at things. I'd never thought of it that way, and with the already sad past/backstories of the masked Pokemon, I'd say that's a very good possibility. (Pokemon already has hinted at some creepier things in Pokedex entries.)
As far as evolutions go, I'd love to see more evolutions of Eevee, possibly one for Flying and/or Steel, as they haven't done one yet. (What would they evolve with? Stones or rocks like Glaceon and Leafeon?)

Many people use Enterprise Vault to finally remove the thousands of PST files from their messaging environment. One thing to consider if you go into this area in any detail, and for any sort of medium to large scale of implementation is what to do with the PST Holding Area folder. In fact you should take note of the information in this article whatever the size of the Enterprise Vault environment, as it will help show that you shouldn't just take even the small things at face value.
The question is "Where should the PST Holding Area reside?"
In this article I'll describe three possible ways of siting the PST Holding Area folder in your environment.
As-is, just on one Enterprise Vault Server
This is the simplest approach that can be taken and is actually not as bad as you might think. When you are configuring the PST related tasks on the Enterprise Vault server you are quite often suddenly presented with a dialog saying you need to set the PST Holding Area on the site properties before you continue. So quick as a flash, you create a folder on the Enterprise Vault server, share it out, and put that down on the site properties. The immediate problem is then solved, and whatever you were configuring when you got the pop-up dialog will now let you continue, and your PST migrations can actually begin.
In small to medium environment this actually works out quite well. Your migrations are usually taking place outside of any kind of normal archiving window, and the tasks themselves also have the ability to throttle based on the number of threads, so you won't be placing too much additional load on the Enterprise Vault server.
The question comes though as to what happens if there is more than one Enterprise Vault server. In this situation, the tasks on the second server will use the PST Holding Area on the first server. Again this usually isn't a problem either. The first server is going to incur a small increase in the overall load placed on it, but again normally this isn't too much of problem.
If you want to have the same sorts of load across a number of servers though, or your environment is much larger, then you might consider the next option...
Using some sort of network attached storage device is often the route that administrators take for storage, especially with the promise of 'near limitless' space. After all it is sometimes difficult to deduce exactly how much space will be required to migrate the PSTs that are distributed across a wide environment. This means it can be a bad idea to have the PST Holding Area folder co-located with your Enterprise Vault. But with a NAS, the PST Holding Area on the site properties will be a specific share on the a remote device. The device, of course, can be shared with other applications too; it doesn't need to be exclusively for PST migrations. Also with this approach no additional disk I/O is added to any of the Enterprise Vault servers in the environment. This means that the Enterprise Vault servers can be more gamely employed in actually doing the migration of the data, rather than hosting it, and serving it up to either itself, or to other Enterprise Vault servers in the environment. There is a small downside in that it is going to increase the network traffic because the server does have to go and get the data from the NAS.
The biggest issue that these approaches don't cater for is what happens in a single site environment where the Enterprise Vault servers are in different cities, or different countries? They might still be well connected, in networking terms. A fast link might exist between the locations, which is why the machines have ended up in the same Enterprise Vault site, but you as the administrator don't want all the PST traffic flying over WAN links.
The issue here is that the PST Holding Area is a site wide property. One solution to this is hostname mapping as we see in the next section.
Hostname mapping
Hostname mapping tries to address the situation where the PST Holding Area would ideally be best suited to be 'local' to the Enterprise Vault server - wherever that server is. So if you have a server in Manchester and a server in London, you really want a 'fake' or 'virtual' host that each server can then resolve more locally, perhaps even to themselves, or a local NAS device.
For the purposes of this article let's assume that we want the holding area for our machines in Manchester and in London to be local to the Enterprise Vault server. In order to do that we could:
1. Create a folder on a drive on each server, let's call it PSTs.
2. Share the folder out.
3. Apply two specific registry keys (see below) to each server.
4. Pick a fake/virtual name, let's say we decide on PSTSrv.
5. Add a hosts file entry on each Enterprise Vault server so that PSTSrv resolves to the local machines IP address
With these in place it means that we can edit the site properties and change the holding area to \\PSTsrv\PSTs. We can then test on each server what happens if we browse to that UNC, and even create a small text file. You will be able to see the text file from the machine you create it on, but not from the other machine. It's actually quite spooky when you first do it! However it's not spooky or magical, and it does work.
The registry keys that need to be set are:
The machines need to be restarted when the keys have been added.
These allow you to browse network shares and hosts via an alias, which is effectively what we've done in the preceding steps. So for this situation it solves things quite nicely. The PST Holding Area folder specified at the Enterprise Vault site level is resolved to a 'local' share, and migrations can happen like this - no problem.
In Summary
As you can see there are a number of different options which are available when designing and implementing this particular aspect of Enterprise Vault. Which option you choose, and even whether you go with a different option is down to you, and the team that is going to work on the environment. Do you use one of these methods, or a different solution altogether? Let me know in the comments...
