New U.S. Defense Cooperation Agreement With Senegal
Emblematic of the growing U.S. defense presence in West Africa is a new defense cooperation agreement signed on May 2 with Senegal. According to the low-key report carried by Associated Press (AP), the agreement improves access for the U.S. military to Senegal should they need to deploy in the event of a security or humanitarian crisis. In Dakar, U.S. Ambassador James Zumwalt said, "With this agreement, the United States military and the Senegalese military can plan better together, accomplish more with joint training, and better prepare to respond in concert to risks to our shared interests."

What if every aid worker - local and international - at every level were given a micro investment fund, over which they have total personal discretion? How would aid delivery change?
The US government is attempting to change the model of how it provides poverty-reducing aid to developing countries. The reforms introduced may seem like obscure regulations, but the Implementation and Procurement Reform 2015 target of 30% of USAid funds delivered to local partners is no joke.
To aid practitioners who value country and community ownership of aid, this is a welcome shift in the way USAid does business. This is not the case, however, for many Washington DC bureaucrats and USAid's go-to implementing partners -- contractors and international NGOs -- who now see their business model as under threat.
If the 30% target and other reforms are being resisted by USAid's 'traditional' partners, perhaps there are other incentives that are being overlooked. Large bureaucracies are certainly not renowned for being entrepreneurial, but it's an important time in Washington to make sure that reformers at USAid do not slip backwards. The question is -- how can staff in Washington and around the world see beyond business as usual?[view whole blog post ]

Saturday 20 April 2013, 12:00
After the successful return of the Highland 7s in 2012, Highland will be holding the tournament at Canal Park, Inverness on Saturday 20th April 2013. The exact format of the tournament will depend on the number of teams, but we hope to attract 20-24 teams again. The event last year attracted teams from all over Scotland and a guest side made up of players from Ireland, England and Wales.
The Tournament is the biggest 7s competition in the Highlands and one of the biggest in Scotland. It attracts a mixture of club and social sides. Last years format included a Cup, Bowl and Shield competition starting at 12 noon with the final around 6.30pm. For those on the sidelines there is a beer tent as well as a fully stocked clubhouse, burger and food stalls and not to mention the famous Highland hospitality.
Highland are encouraging Teams to make a weekend of it and will be arranging an after party at one of the local nightclubs as per 2012. Teams will also be able to camp at the clubhouse, but there are also a number of hostels and other accommodation providers in Inverness itself.

Almost a year ago, my left rear brake seized up. Grinding and Squeaking noises ensued. I kept putting off the needed repair(s)due to lack of funding and general stupidity. Now the car is leaking brake fluid from that wheel/brake. My mechanic hasn't taken an official look at it, but based on my description, he says it sounds like the wheel cylinder needs to be replaced. However, based on my research, I've gotten the impression that a wheel cylinder only exists in cars with drum brakes. I'm fairly certain my car has all disc brakes. I'm not faulting my mechanic as he has not actually looked at my car, and he's not a specialist on Acura Integras; So I don't expect him to just know, off-hand, that it's all disc. I wanted to know what actually is/are the potential necessary repair(s) so I can get a better idea as to the cost.

Artist: Whitechapel
Album: Recorrupted (EP)
Genre: Rock
[Originally by Pantera]
There is nothing. No education. No family life to open my
Arms to. You'd say that my job is today, yet gone tomorrow.
I'll be broke in a gutter.
I know the opinion. A broken record. Fuck you and your
College dream. Fact is, we're stronger than all.
You're working for perfect bodies, perfect minds and perfect
Neighbors. But I'm helping to legalize dope on
Your pristine streets and I'm making a fortune.
You're muscle and gall. Naive at best. I'm bone, brain and
Cock. Deep down stronger than all.
A sad state of affairs. A crippled America. A pipe dream
Buttfucked. Immune. Stronger than all.
A lament for a rookie officer, punk ass weak little lamb.
For the mob, truly, does rule at this particular time.
We've grown into a monster. An arrogant, explosive motherfuck.
Hard as a rock. Shut like a lock.
Finally, the president in submission. He holds out his hand on
Your television and draws back a stump. It's too late for some.
Far too late.
No more holdbacks. No more paying a cops paycheck. Let him
Bust his own child. The son that heeds my word and smokes my dope.
The daughter that sucks me off and snorts cheap anything.
Hail Kings. The new Kings. Stronger than all.
A simple process to legalize. There would not be a choice but to
Take our side. Be there no question of certain strengths. Know
This intention. Forever stronger than all.

Make-A-Wish Foundation of Alaska and Washington, celebrating its 25th anniversary, has found success matching local athletes and kids.
Jack Zduriencik was having a bad week. The Mariners were losing and the team's general manager was taking flak from all sides, reading criticism in the newspapers and getting blasted on talk radio for his team's downward spiral.
In Bothell, a 15-year-old boy with a life-threatening illness felt the sting as surely as Zduriencik. Cullen Rogers knew intuitively that his good friend Jack Zduriencik needed a lift.
Cullen sent Zduriencik a note that encouraged him to keep his head up and remember to have faith in himself. It was signed, "Your No. 1 Fan, Cullen."
This is the kind of magic that happens when the Make-A-Wish Foundation matches its wish kids with their wishes.
- Seattle-area home prices set record; 2nd-fastest rising in nation
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Florida man runs over couple on motorcycle during road-rage incident
- The best deli in Seattle that you've probably never heard of
- South Florida officers find 2 alligators eating human body
Most Read Stories
The foundation asks a very simple question: "If you could do anything in the world, what would it be?"
When he was 13, Cullen's wish was to meet Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez.
"Why me?" Hernandez asked.
You see, many of the athletes who are chosen by the wish kids are overwhelmed by the idea that a child with a serious health issue would want to spend time with them.
When they met, Cullen and Hernandez hit it off like pitcher and catcher. A student of the game, Cullen asked Hernandez thoughtful questions about the art of pitching. Leaning on a bat, in front of the dugout, Hernandez answered the questions as if he were talking to the pitching coach.
"Cullen loved the science behind the game, and when he was talking with Felix you could just see the love both had for baseball," his mother, Shelley, said last week. "Felix extended himself to Cullen.
"He was remarkable, and for a parent it was just so much fun to see Cullen so happy. He was a kid just enjoying what he enjoyed the most. It was perfect."
Subsequently, Cullen met Zduriencik at a Make-A-Wish breakfast, and quickly they became friends. Zduriencik often called for health updates and sent Cullen notes and gifts.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Alaska and Washington is celebrating its 25th anniversary. That's 25 years of lifting spirits — not only of the children whose wondrous wishes it fulfills, but those athletes who help make the wishes come true.
"I'm not a scientist or physician," said Barry McConnell, president and CEO of the foundation, "yet after 20 years of working with wish children, I am convinced there is a positive and direct relationship between a magical wish experience and a child's physical and emotional health."
Make-A-Wish is enduring. The value isn't just in the experience of the day, it's in the anticipation and preparation before the day of the wish, and it's in the reliving of the experience afterward.
It allows children that spend so much time in hospitals and sick beds, to spend a day feeling normal. It allows kids to be kids. There are no procedures, no medical appointments, no lab tests to run on the day of their wishes.
"His Make-A-Wish experience was a light source for Cullen when things were tough," his mother said.
Seattle is fortunate that its sports teams are enthusiastic in their support of M.A.W. Some of the city's biggest stars have been the foundation's most ambitious supporters.
If there were a Make-a-Wish Hall of Fame of Seattle athletes it would include Ken Griffey Jr., Dan Wilson, Jay Buhner, Gary Payton, Ray Allen, Lofa Tatupu, Matt Hasselbeck and the Washington athletic department.
Griffey has granted more wishes than any Seattle athlete. And when he's with a wish kid, he is totally immersed in the child.
"It's like there's nobody else around," said vice president Donna Verretto, the foundation's wish coordinator, who has maybe the best job on the planet. "I like to say at those moments, 'It's Griffey's world and we just live in it.'
"Everything else for him stops and he just takes care of the kids. It's overwhelming, it's amazing to watch. Ken set the standard. Now, when every other Mariner grants a wish, they think, 'What would Ken do?' "
Make-A-Wish is so important to the Mariners that former players like Griffey, Wilson and Buhner have often mentored the younger players about their wish days. Sometimes after the experience, players come up to Verretto and ask, "Did I do OK?"
Seahawks linebacker Tatupu had lunch with Make-A-Wish kid Kyle Cronk after practice last season. Shortly after, Tatupu had a pick-six against Carolina and, without fanfare, sent the football to Kyle with the inscription, "This one's for Kyle."
Every opening day since Safeco Field opened, M.A.W. has chosen a child to run around the bases before the game. This April, Kamrin Cramer will be the first person in a Mariners uniform to cross home plate.
When Zduriencik returned from last year's winter meetings, he learned that Cullen Rogers had died from complications following a double-lung transplant. The Mariners general manager attended the memorial service.
"Jack is really a remarkable individual," Shelley Rogers said. "When he would visit Cullen he would talk about what the Mariners were doing and he'd ask Cullen, 'What do you think of that?' It meant so much to Cullen."
Cullen spent most of his final months at Children's Hospital. Last Nov. 4, Cullen's 16th birthday, Zduriencik came to the hospital. He brought new manager Eric Wedge with him.
"A 16th birthday, that's a time in a kid's life when he should be learning how to drive and getting his license and all of that fun stuff," Shelley said. "Obviously, Cullen wasn't going to be able to do that and Jack, even though he was crazy busy, understood that. His visit was the highlight of Cullen's birthday."
For 25 years, Make-A-Wish has been making these moments happen. The foundation has granted thousands of wishes that are as enduring as memory.
Here's to a future for Make-A-Wish that is as bright as Cullen Rogers' spirit.

Synopsis: Two brothers drift aimlessly through their summer days, trashing abandoned cars and playing with paintball guns, until the accidental death of a young woman forces them to make drastic decisions. With few options, the duo flee across state lines to dodge arrest and search for refuge. Poetic, funny, and poignant, this quietly mesmerizing film follows the brothers' transitions from boys to men through an absorption of the world—good and bad—around them.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite
Manufacturer: Corel Corporation
Price: $199 US
Reviewer: Choong Ng
Corel's CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 9 is the first major commercial graphics package for Linux, combining both the object-oriented drawing capabilities of CorelDRAW and the bitmap photo editing capabilities of Corel PhotoPaint. If Graphics Suite 9 can provide end users and artists with good paint and draw capabilities, this will be a major step forward for Linux as a desktop operating system. Let's see how it measures up.
GS9 requires kernel 2.2 or higher and glibc 2.0 or better running on a 200MHz processor with 64MB of RAM and 255MB of free disk space. My test box substantially exceeded all of the requirements, but this actually ended up causing problems. Installation via the installation script went without incident, but due to incompatibilities with both XFree 4 and Red Hat 7.0 the FontTastic font system was not correctly installed. A short call to Corel's technical support, manual installation of the FontTastic software took care of the problem (I recommend calling Corel technical support for instructions specific to your system). Once the initial font problems were resolved, both Draw and Paint loaded without problems.
For a user migrating from Windows, both CorelDRAW and PhotoPaint should have comfortingly familiar interfaces. This is in part because Corel chose to use the WINE Windows compatibility layer (http://www.winehq.com/) to enable their applications to run on Linux with minimal changes. This approach has several implications from a technical standpoint, but from a user's perspective it simply means that you can expect Graphics Suite 9 for Linux to have the same features in the same places as Graphics Suite 9 for Windows.
While the user interface may be the same as it is on Windows, that by no means guarantees that the interface will be good. In fact, both CorelDRAW and PhotoPaint tended to have clunky interfaces and features that don't work quite the way one would expect. They also don't offer much in the way of key-stroke compatibility with their Adobe counterparts—that is the keyboard shortcuts in the two sets of applications are different and the Corel products are missing shortcuts to some often-used features. While their product may be targeted at a different market, Corel has attempted to duplicate all of the features and most of the interface of two applications (Adobe's Photoshop and Illustrator) that are targeted more at the graphics professional than the home user.
There are both good and bad points to the effort to provide a duplicate feature set. On the good side is the relative ease of learning CorelDRAW and PhotoPaint once you know their Adobe counterparts. Most of the menu options are familiar and function much the same as they do in the Adobe apps, and PhotoPaint includes a complete set of functionally identical filters. CorelDRAW and PhotoPaint will even open .psd and .ai documents produced by their Adobe counterparts. On the downside is the fact that trying to replicate the working environment of someone else's software is rather difficult and, in this case, not very thoroughly done.
The biggest problem areas that I encountered were in PhotoPaint's relatively awkward handling of layers and layer transparency (the bread and butter of any image editor) and CorelDRAW's lack of keyboard shortcuts for many common functions.
Despite these deficiencies, Corel does do a fairly good job of adding features that a home user will appreciate, such as a helpful splash screen offering options to do common tasks such as creating a new document, opening the last one you worked on, viewing a tutorial or scanning an image. They also developed some of the best file load/save dialogs that I've seen in any Linux application; by default they open with your home directory as the root directory, but they still offer the option to look at other drives and everything under the root directory via a drop-down menu. These and other features help make Graphics Suite 9 (and in particular the CorelDRAW portion) a worthwhile option for many people.
One of the most interesting things about Corel's Linux products is that they use WINE (the GPL'd Windows compatibility layer) to run what are otherwise essentially the same applications as Corel's Windows-based products. This isn't really a good or bad thing; there are several distinct advantages to this approach, but there are also major problems. I noted earlier that using WINE ensures that the Windows and Linux versions will function essentially identically, but WINE isn't perfect. I ran into problems with the main windows expanding beyond the bounds of the screen in both Corel applications. While easily fixable, a new Linux user would most likely not know the solution (holding down the Alt key and dragging the window to a position where a window border is visible, then resizing). Both packages also had problems rendering fonts on-screen, and I suspect that this too is at least partially a result of running through WINE. Though this is ultimately not a big deal in CorelDRAW—the visual artifacts do not appear in printed documents—it does present a problem in PhotoPaint where fonts get rasterized at screen resolution. These and other similar glitches make Graphics Suite 9 appear a little rough around the edges, but the glitches are for the most part offset by the features that Corel offers.

Until recently, IBM's Power Platform was looked upon as being the system that hosted IBM's flavor of UNIX and proprietary operating system called IBM i. These servers often are found in medium-size businesses running ERP, CRM and financials for on-premise customers. By enabling the Power platform to run the Linux OS, IBM now has positioned Power to be the platform of choice for those already running Linux that are facing scalability issues, especially customers looking at analytics, big data or cloud computing.
Running Linux on IBM's Power hardware offers some obvious benefits, including improved processing speed and memory bandwidth, inherent security, and simpler deployment and management. But if you look beyond the impressive architecture, you'll also find an open ecosystem that has given rise to a strong, innovative community, as well as an inventory of system and network management applications that really help leverage the benefits offered by running Linux on Power.Get the Guide

Utterly is an intensifying word: something utterly delicious is very, very delicious.
One thing people love to do is exaggerate. You often hear people talking about how awesome or awful things are. When you're laying it on thick, utterly is an utterly useful word: it means something similar to completely, totally, or very. Something utterly disappointing is extremely disappointing. Something utterly wonderful is wonderful times ten. When you get tired of writing very, utterly is a good word choice.
Definitions of utterly
adv completely and without qualification; used informally as intensifiers
"utterly miserable"
- Synonyms:
- absolutely, dead, perfectly
