On Sunday, Nigeria's Defense Chief said military troops have located nearly 300 school girls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists in April. Nigerian officials did not say where the girls were found, but said force cannot be used to rescue the girls.
U.S. President Barack Obama announced on Wednesday that eighty U.S. military personnel were deployed to Chad to assist in the search for the hundreds of school girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria on April 14. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan was forced to accept international assistance earlier in May, and several other countries, including the United Kingdom, Japan and Israel had already joined in the search for the missing girls.
Air Marshal Alex Barde on Sunday told demonstrators supporting the country's much criticized military that Nigerian troops can save the girls, however, Barde added:
"we can't go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back."
In November, 2013, the United State Department of State designated Boko Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, and as Specially Designated Global Terrorists under section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security describes Boko Haram as a Nigeria-based militant group with links to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) that is responsible for thousands of deaths in northeast and central Nigeria over the last several years including targeted killings of civilians in multiple suicide attacks on churches, seeking "to eradicate Christians" from areas in Nigeria, in addition to newspapers, government officials, and security forces.
The U.S. State Department has been criticized for refusing to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the high-profile suicide attack that targeted the United Nations headquarters in the Nigerian capital of Abuja in August, 2011. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen senators and congressmen.
The Nigerian government has faced national and international outrage over their failure to rescue the girls taken from a remote northeastern school six weeks ago. Local residents and parents of the missing school girls said they reported the location of the militants and the girls in the days after the kidnapping, but security forces did not respond.
Human rights groups have documented widespread abuses by Nigerian forces over the last few years, including the burning of homes and farm buildings, shooting suspected Boko Haram members as revenge for attacks on police, and detaining young men indefinitely without trial. Sarah Margon, the Washington director of Human Rights Watch said Nigerian military and police are not disciplined and are very abusive.
A 1997 law known as the Leahy Amendment, prohibits American forces from working with foreign military units that have been accused of chronic human rights violations. The Leahy Amendment limits the U.S.government's options, and has prevented U.S. officials from dealing with a Nigerian counter-terrorism unit that has experience tracking Boko Haram, officials said.

Home to Positive Atheism
Go to Previous || Next || Notes
I grew up on a long cul-de-sac, and was the only kid my age who went to public school. The rest of my friends went to Pinocchio school. The word "parochial" wasn't in my 7-year-old vocabulary, so I thought they'd said "Pinocchio school." They didn't play hooky like Pinocchio did, so I never got to test that donkey-ears yarn.
I vividly remember an encounter with religious discrimination. In the second grade, several of the kids were asking everyone: "Are you Cath-o-lick or are you Prodda-stin?" I had never heard these words before. The kids didn't like my answer; I had to be either Cath-o-lick or Prodda-stin.
And I was real bad for not knowing about God.
I didn't like this argument everyone was having; I wanted everybody to be friends. I yelled, "I hate God!" That's about how it felt, since this "God" fellow had started it all.
They said, "Ummm! He hates God!" and many of the kids stopped talking to me.
When I asked my parents, my Mom said something like, "We aren't any religion and we don't believe there's a God, but you can believe whatever you want." And I replied, "I'd rather go to the beach than go to church."
Later, one of my Catholic friends on the cul-de-sac taught me how to cross myself so I wouldn't "go to hail." I don't like cold, frozen rain, so I did what he said. He told me that "God is everywhere."
I said, "Is he in my hand?"
He said "Yup!"
"Is he in that tree?"
I looked on the ground and something strange occurred to me: I asked him, "Is he in that dog poop?"
He had to think about that one.
Soon after that, Mom started getting me books and toys about science and space. I learned about Galileo and Thomas Edison and John Glenn. This was probably the best thing that could have happened to me as a kid. The pursuit of knowledge kept me very, very busy. With my burning curiosity, I needn't depend on the loyalty of any group.
I still find this skill very useful in life.

|60m will get you to the ground, but you can't belay your follower from the ground. Instead build a trad anchor near the tree lower down. Also, this can be done one long awesome pitch. Just sling the gear in the right facing dihedral before the ledge extra long, or extend it after you make the move below the ledge.

|Not sure what went wrong but the "Right Facing" corner seemed unfun so I went straight up over the roofs at the "Right Facing" corner, which was really fun, not 5.9 but great holds and protection. Doing it this way I was able to do it in one pitch and belay the follower from the ground.

|Not sure what "wrong" for us either. The right facing corner was awkward and harder than 5.7. We belayed on the ledge above and left of the corner. This was more like 60-70 ft from the ground. P2 wound up being more like 40-50 feet. Frankly we thought P2 wasn't any harder than P1. The last bit before the anchors seems tricky but is all there.

News from the slugarium—Part 3
I am continuing with feeding trials of the 2 captive slugs, Megapallifera mutabilis. Here is one of them right after I interrupted its feeding on a piece of algae-covered beech.
The enlargement of the area in front of the slug's tail shows the teeth marks at the edge of the feeding track.
I still haven't figured out how exactly they create those marks, because I still haven't observed them feeding. As soon as I turn a light on, start opening lids and moving things around, the slugs stop feeding. The best I have done so far is the following shot. It shows the front of one slug's head. The mouth is right below the lower tentacles; it was, however, raised above the green crust of cyanobacteria.
I'll get lucky one of these nights.

The thieves are working full time;BY ADAM H. BEASLEY firstname.lastname@example.com
A botched home burglary by three men led to a wild police pursuit and a blocks-wide lockdown, with heavily-armed SWAT team members searching door-to-door in Northwest Miami-Dade County for the culprits Tuesday.
By evening, two of the men police believed responsible were in custody. The third slipped through their grasp.
Police said they found two assault weapons in a car used by the men, who allegedly tried to break into a Hialeah house Tuesday morning.
The incident prompted the lockdown of two Northwest Miami-Dade schools.
Neighbors reported seeing armed men trying to break into an unoccupied home in the 700 block of East 18th Street about 11 a.m., Hialeah police spokesman Frank Gonzalez said.
The burglars fled the home in a silver Dodge Magnum, and a patrol officer in the area chased them to Northwest 16th Avenue and 41st Street in Miami, where the car blew a tire and came to a stop, according to police. Officers apprehended two men and set up a perimeter to search for a third, he said.
Two AK-47s were found in the vehicle, Gonzalez said.
Police found one of the men underneath a nearby house.
The second man was on top of a house but jumped off the roof when he saw a police helicopter.
Police blocked off Northwest 41st Street and brought in the SWAT team and an ambulance.
Allapattah Middle, 1331 NW 46th St., and Lenora B. Smith Elementary, 4700 NW 12th Ave., were locked down as a precaution for most of the school day.
The lockdown was lifted around around 2:15 p.m., district spokesman John Schuster said.
Assault weapons huh? Those dangerous AK-47's will bring the world to its knees!
Gun control can be blamed in part for allowing 9/11 to happen.

Thanks to a small ring that is installed around the gas cap, incorporated with the unique structure of the base of the bag, the bag can now be attached by simply aligning it to the ring and pressing lightly until you hear a positive "click." It is equally as easy to remove the bag. To release pull the red lever located in the base. The mounting rings vary by the fuel cap type. Please confirm compatibility with the Easy Lock Ring Application Chart provided below to verify which ring is for use with your model of motorcycle.

Miles Davis: Seven Steps to Heaven
Seven Steps to Heaven
Miles Davis (trumpet)
Seven Steps to Heaven (Columbia / Legacy 93592)
Miles Davis (trumpet), George Coleman (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums).
Composed by Victor Feldman and Miles Davis.
Recorded: New York, May 14, 1963
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
Miles Davis, artwork by Michael Symonds
When Miles Davis added Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams to his band in 1963, they were far from household names, and not even widely known in the jazz world. But even on this debut recording, you can tell that Miles had found another dynamite rhythm section, one destined to influence the later evolution of jazz combo playing. Hancock plays with absolute authority from the intro to the final coda. And Carter moves this piece through the paces like a jockey heading for the finish line at Churchill Downs. And could it possibly be true that drummer Tony Williams was only seventeen years old when he made this recording? He might have been too young to register for the draft (not a bad thing in '63), but his drum breaks sound like they could lead a regiment of hipsters into hard-bop hand-to-hand combat. Where does Miles find 'em? Can't say. But where does he lead 'em? Easy, right up the seven steps to jazz heaven.

That's great - thank you for those suggestions. Off to the garden centre today so gives me plenty to look at
Have just widened my flower beds and would like to put in some ground cover - something that will survive underneath various deciduous trees along an east facing border. Soil is very heavy clay and alkaline. Has been improved a bit after a few years of mulching and adding lots of additional compost and manure. Any suggestions gratefully received
Very useful advice thank you!
My photinia currently has lovely red new growth but the older leaves are pale and mottled which as you suggest, Flowerchild probably means it's not happy in my soil. I'm thinking about replacing it with a laurel as they do very well in my garden - I may buy another photinia to grow in a large pot instead.
Hope your photinia recovers successfully Drywsdad
I've used them in the past - the lawn was beautiful after treatment. Sadly it's one of those 'extra' costs that has to go when money gets tight!
Glad you posted as was worried about my photinia bush which is dropping a lot of leaves too. I've also had the black spots on the leaves for the last year or so. Your tree looks really lovely at the front there - hope it recovers ok!
Can anyone tell me what kind of soil they prefer? I've got a very alkaline soil and have been mulching with ericacious compost to try to reduce the PH. This is an attempt to improve the leaf colour which is very pale. Am I just fighting a losing battle with this plant??
(Hope you don't mind me asking here OP - was about to post but saw you had already asked similar q!)
Thanks.. appreciate your replies! Yes am watering it and has been fed fortnightly. Am very relieved you think not fireblight though as as this was my main worry and I had thought the pyracantha next to it was showing signs last year. There is no sign of oozing or weeping on branches and no fungus that I can see.
Will try to get pic of whole tree tomorrow but is mainly the lower middle section - new growth is currently fine.
Can anyone help - please?
I'm really concerned about the tree as many of the leaves are now yellowing
I have a Sorbus aria which is around 3 yrs old and the leaves in the centre of the tree are all going yellow/brown and falling off - see pic. The tree is in quite a shady area although it does get Sun most of the day. I also have yellowing leaves on some of my other plants nearby - a solanum and honeysuckle.
Do you think this is a soil problem - is very alkaline when I tested it? If not, any ideas what could be the cause?
I nearly lost mine last year after moving it at the wrong time. A dose of epsom salts brought it back practically from the dead! It's growing brilliantly this year even after this terrible weather.

Protective service occupations have highest union membership rate
January 20, 2000
Among occupational groups, protective service had the highest union membership rate in 1999, at 38.2 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
The unionization rate for protective service occupations—which include police officers, prison guards, and firefighters—was well above the average of 13.9 percent for all occupations. Other occupational groups with higher-than-average unionization rates were precision production, craft, and repair workers (22.4 percent); operators, fabricators, and laborers (20.7 percent); and professional specialty (19.7 percent).
At 4.1 percent, the lowest union membership rate was in sales occupations. The unionization rates were also under 10 percent in executive, administrative, and managerial jobs and in service occupations other than protective service.
These 1999 data on union membership are from the Current Population Survey. Unionization data are for wage and salary workers. Find out more in "Union Members in 1999," news release USDL 00-16.

Lights for cavers and cave rescuers should be bright, long lasting, and light weight. Petzl has long been recognized as the worlds leading designer of caving headlamps, lights and rescuer light needs. We feature a variety of top quality Petzl headlamps, cave lights and emergency light sources. cavers should always carry at lest three sources of light, each with back up power supplies. When the lights go out and your deep underground, you'll be wishing you had another Petzl headlamp tucked away.
Caves are one of least explored ecosystems on the planet. Each year about 100 miles of new caves are discovered and mapped. Many cave features and formations are still a mystery as to their formation. Cave rescuers have one of the most difficult jobs in the world. A typical cave rescue may take 6 - 24 hours to remove an injured speluker from the cave environment.

The 25th GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Awards show was held last night in Beverly Hills, and hosted by Ross Matthews. The awards show may not have the best red carpet in the history of awards shows, but the red carpet usually boasts a few breathtaking looks. Last night, many of the worlds favorite actors and models attended the awards show, walking the red carpet in looks that ranged from casual to red carpet-worhty. Among the best dressed of the night were supermodel Naomi Campbell and actress Lupita N'yongo.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell never disappoints when she walks the red carpet. From the signature super model walk to her beautiful complexion, Naomi works the red carpet effortlessly no matter what she wears. However it doesn't hurt for the beauty to have a great sense of style as well. Campbell stepped out onto the red carpet last night donning a beautiful black and gold animal print maxi dress. The halter style gown accentuated her shoulders and slim silhouette, and the animal themed look was paired with a chic afro, giving her the look of a disco goddess.
Actress Lupita N'yongo continues to wow the fashion world one red carpet at a time. Lupita donned a midi Antonio Berardi jacquard colorblock dress from the Pre Fall 2014 collection. The jacquard dress contained bold royal blue paneling which she accessorized by wearing matching blue Christian Louboutins. Lupita also styled her natural hair in a crown style.

LOS ANGELES-It looks like the state of California is tackling the transgender issue in the fight game.
California State Athletic Commission has decided to look into whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete with other prizefighters. A subcommittee was formed to look into the complicated issue.
Fallon Fox (seen above), a transgender female, seeks to compete against female prizefighters in California and took the first official step at the CSAC meeting at Ronald Reagan Building. She was represented by a team consisting of three women including Amy Whelan and Helen Carroll from the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
Dr. Paul Wallace who works with CSAC said that, "its been an interesting process. I've already been contacted by 12 other commissions."
Fox was not present.
Two subcommittees were formed to look into the transgender competition issue.
Executive Officer Andy Foster emphasized that the rest of the country is looking to see what process CSAC takes on the issue.
"I think that it's important to do it right," said Foster.
Advisors estimate the process should take at least a year.
"It still has to go through the regulatory process," said Michael Santiago, senior staff counsel for CSAC.
Pension Plan, Grading Officials and other stuff
With a build-up of more than $5 million accumulated through the boxing pension plan since the early 1980s CSAC decided on early requests from former junior lightweight world champion Gabriel Ruelas and fighter George Parra.
Both Ruelas and Parra asked to be given their pension monies though neither is at the minimum 50-year-old age requirement. But both satisfy the amount of rounds and years needed to qualify in California.
"I need it. I'm homeless," said Parra, 45. "How low can I go."
CSAC 6-0 voted to give Ruelas and Parra their pension monies.
"We've been having a hard time finding the boxers," said Commissioner VanBuren Lemon about the inability to dole out pension money because of the unknown whereabouts of many of the retired boxers that qualify.
Judging the judges and referees
The Commission also voted to use a grading list devised by the late Larry Rozadilla and used by prior commissions to assess the judges and referees after prizefights.
Commissioner Martha Shen-Urquidez asked to reinstate the evaluation process that proved successful in her opinion. Others agree that a change is necessary to have the best officials especially on the major fight cards.
"We're not always using our best officials," said Executive Officer Foster, who is a former mixed martial arts fighter. "If you have a (referee) John McCarthy sitting on the sideline, that's a tragedy."
The Commission also wants a better system of assigning the best referees and judges to fight cards instead of basing assignments on geographic locale.
Next Meeting
CSAC voted to have the next meeting on June 10 in Los Angeles. Chairman John Frierson asked that meetings be held more frequently, perhaps once a month or every six weeks.
Transgendered woman = man that cuts his cook off. That's it. That's the reality . Born a man then you are a man no matter what surgeries ,wigs makeup you wear. Listen if these people want to marry a shoe it is fine with me,live and let live but fighting sports is something different. People get hurt. A man in makeup can kill a female . Can I be a lion? I feel like a lion. I want my rights to be a lion! Seriously the nuts should just legalize men vs woman in every sport. Men vs woman in football basketball hockey.
Ditto deepwater.
How is this not crazy unsafe?
This is a dude smashing women wtf.
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe! Hahahahahaha! There goes Deepwater taking 'em deep, drowning 'em with reality and actuality and calling a spade a SPADE. OMFG! I wish that I could do this without cyberspace knuckleheads bulling me. WOW! Go on, DEEPWATER! You da MAN!
CSAC is corrupted and dumb as a straw-made log cabin. The wolf would huff and buff and blow dat muthasucka down. Those in da game with a brain, the CSAC cannot clown.
Let the transgender dude fight other man without a penis, or just let the corrupted-arse alphabet-sanctioning organization come up with another catagory for transgender boxers. And those penis-less bytches could have an alternate fighting options if they are good enough and can fight. [Skills pay the bills and talent will get you over any hill.] The freaks -- and that is what they are -- could became double champions -- champions in the male divisions with penises, and champions in the transgender divisions without penises. Bottomline, BABBBEEEEE! A spade is a spade and cannot be phonied up and remade. Holla!
This ain't right.... No way, No how. If you clone a transgender female..all you get is another male.
If he lacks the cajones to beat another male. Don't give him a license to beat up women.
I think Cyborg would wreck that chick/dude.[ATTACH=CONFIG]72[/ATTACH]
Hehehehe! I, of course, second Deepwater. Ann Wolfe would whup dat dude's transforming @SS! Let da penisless dude call that woman, since he wants to fight a dame, damsell or doll. Holla!
Be gentle, boys.
As it happens, I've studied this. Don't laugh. During my university days, I ran across one of the best articles I've ever read - and this was the topic. A person changing their sex does more than cut ther dicks off - a lot more. For years, they nibble oestrogen at such levels they develope female forms - and, vice versa, lose muscle. The consequences of having the organs removed & replaced adds to this internal process, where the bodys actually change.
With that said, there could still be a difference - big enough to render second thoughts for a woman to fight a transgender. But, hey, if it's all in the open, why not let said woman make that choice? It's not like these transgender women have been juicing in secrecy. Everobody knows what they've been taking, and it aint testosteron.
Btw, in Thailand there are babes born boys that fight in Muay Thai. They're fighting boys, though.
Grimm, I hear you. In the Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan that is the deal too -- "babes boys fight in Muay Thai" against females and most of the times, the he-shes lose. It is a whole different combat discipline. See in Muay Thai, it's mostly a lot of mad leg-and-foot action. And because females have more innate leg and feet strength and power, snap and speed than men, they are primarily equal in that form of martial combat. And it a hard science that this is because nature has prepared females for fifty years that they can get pregnant and have to carry and move, walk and run with up to 30 pregnancies in a lifetime. Women have mean, mad KICK. And with their legs, they can whup any dick.
Boxing and wrestling are ancient combat sports that were made strickly for man because of our superior upper body power and strength. Muay Thai, Ku Fung, Taikuan do and any other Asian martial combat was made for both genders -- especially the women -- to be able to fight foreign invaders from Europe and Africa during ancient times and even now. Our Asian dames, damsels and dolls can whup arses with the strong legs. Holla!
Before some bigot jumps in my syet -- because of Asian hate -- I was talking about strong legs for striking speed, power and strength, not RUNNING or high or long JUMPING. Holla!
Well thats just freakin weird. Dude looks like a lady up there might try some MMA. Ronda Rousey will break his... uh.. her arm. Dude kinda looks like Sammy Sosa.
Its all politics, Mr Avila youre just trying to publisize your cause to get attention! This article doesnt warrant attention! Any transexual that enters in combat sports is not doing it for the love of the sport! Its for an axe to grind, for publicity! I dont care if it was Mickey Rooney fighting in a match! Id cheer him on for the honest competition! You make a farce of this website and an arse of your readers! I dont even agree in women boxing!
@deep: I don't entirely agree with you, but respect - you make a good argument.
@radam: You're right about the differences between the sports. Elite female practicioners of the kicking arts can whack and crack both skulls and legs with their kicks.
Is this a real question if your born a man your a man period.
B-Camp, be easy! No darn friscoes' jive! Hahaha! Holla!
This girl from my team will knock this guy out!
That girl has some skill deep,
but unfortunately this He/she is a damn HE.
A damn man.
How is a fight like this even sanctioned?
The chick, formerly a dick, is not yet sanctioned. [S]he wants to be. I say NO! NO! NO! Let he[r] fight against the guys, as came-outta-da-closet gay Orlando Cruz does. This chick, former a dick, can make big-time history. [S]he and Orlando can fight for a world title that will surely be created by one of the crooked alphabet-sanction organization.
Just imagine [S]he and Orlando will make BIG PAY in the first world title match between a transgender and gaybender. Hahahaha! OMFG! Orlando has already made serious money endorsement BLING-BLING! Now just imagine how much moola can be made between a gay guy and a former guy, who has no ding-a-ling.
Ching,ching! Da game is prizefighting. Get dat prize. It doesn't matter what your poison may be. I think that the transgender oughta grow some cojones and pick a fight with the straight and gay pugilists. Holla!

Welcome back! I'm glad that your mourning period is getting easier and better. Holla!

Review: Mango White Tea
Posted: Apr 11, 2005 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Dec 27, 2006 at 9:37 AM)Honest Tea's first glass entrant into the white tea sweepstakes is a winner, albeit not a runaway one. Its strong mango scent isn't matched by strong mango flavor, and the tea flavor, although apparent in the finish, is at first overtaken a bit too much by the sweet combination of sugar and agave syrup. But it's a highly drinkable beverage overall, with not just the stylish tea of the moment but also the au courant antioxidant açaí, a "superfruit" from the Brazilian rainforest. So you can live longer to drink more of it.

Multiplayer !*?
I'd like to know more about multiplayer *!
I think the multiplayer mod in every game is nearly the most important, IA is kewl but fighting VS humans is really more interessant.
Death match, co-op will be able for sure...
Will there be NEW multiplayer mod ?
IF you know more about multiplayer and so on, post here. :D :) :D
Some cool saber team based mod would wipe out the competition.
I cant see em coming up with anything really new 'n' unique.. but then gameplay modes that are fun and new are quite hard to make..
Yeah dudes
MBMP :) Mission Based Multi Player
, another thing about MP I'd like to say is:
How will the saber throw work in MP???
I can see it all before me;
Playing with some friends hacking and slacking on each other, suddenly some newbie comes in and does Saber Throw at the group all the time...oh boy isn't that fun...
just like some brats are doing in BGJ ever since JK is out.
I think for SP, saber throw is good but I can't really see it work in MP
Open your eyes Luke..see the light side before you
Want to see how Saber throw works? Fire up MotS and choose the power and join a game.
; )
Saber throw works fine, it's not unfair at all. It looks like both Obi-Wan and JK2 will have saber throw (just watch the videos) and frankly I think that's a good thing. I like it. It's really star-warsy. ; )

Home - Pectoral Implants
Pectoral implants are really the male equivalent of female breast implants. The intention of the operation is to enhance the appearance of the male chest muscles by placing solid silicone implants on top of the pectoral muscles and beneath the skin. These chest muscles are often referred to as pecs or pec muscles and are the muscles that normally bulk up and increase in mass when a male exercises.
The main difference between a pectoral augmentation and a breast augmentation is that muscle is not separated from its attachments to the rib cage or breast bone as they are during a breast implant procedure, so in this regard it is a considerably less surgically invasive operation.

van der Heiden, N (2007). City's Foreign Policy: Competitiveness through Citizens Exclusion? In: EURA Conference 2010, Darmstadt, 12 September 2007 - 14 September 2007, 23pp.
According to the rescaling literature, the increasing global economic competition between metropolitan areas leads to new necessities for a political response to these developments. City partnerships and international networking are one of the instruments of such a response where cities try to increase their room for manoeuvre in the multi-level governance setting. It is theoretically unclear whether cities do this to stay competitive and therefore follow a neoliberal way of policy-making within these activities or if they try to regain political steering capacities to foster social cohesion through international networking. In general, there is a tendency of exclusion of the public in these international activities as they are mostly carried out in a top-down way of governing and do not involve citizens or parliamentary inclusion. The increased engagement of cities in international activities raises thus questions of democratic legitimacy. Our empirical analysis of the international activities of five Swiss and to European cities shows that not all cities are increasingly engaged in international activities. But those which are clearly target an increase of their global economic position with these activities.

Managing your system with YaST
Super Tool
One of the highlights of openSUSE is YaST, the Swiss Army knife of configuration tools for Linux. YaST will help you with everything from managing hardware to configuring users.
YaST – Yet another Setup Tool or Your awesome Setup Tool – has a long history with SUSE. SUSE, which was called S.u.S.E. for "Softwareund System-Entwicklung" (Software and System Development), was a Slackware-based distro with an early version of YaST. Originally, YaST wasn't the buffed up, GUI-enabled tool you now know and love – the first iterations of YaST were text mode–only, and nowhere near as full-featured as YaST is today.
In 1999, YaST2 made its first appearance in SuSE Linux 6.3, as the installer. Over time, YaST has continued to evolve and mature. After Novell acquired SUSE in 2004, YaST was released under the GPL. In this article, I'm really talking about YaST2, but to simplify things, I'll just call it YaST.

Sometimes I see a recipe that has a good idea but I may not like some of the ingredients. That's what happened on this adventure.
I found a recipe for Mini Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups that I wanted to take to a New Year's Eve gathering. I didn't really want spinach lasagna. I decided to improvise by using the idea of mini roll-ups but making it with a different type of lasagna — Chicken Bacon Lasagna to be precise.
A new year has begun and I have resolutions for Dash of Class. One resolution is to continue to honor men and women in Hardin County who are nominated as "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks," a feature that will continue in February.
It's New Year's Eve so you better get your black-eyed peas soaking.
One New Year's Day tradition includes black-eyed peas and cabbage. It is said the peas symbolize prosperity because they swell as they cook and the greens, in this case cabbage, symbolize money.
Mention the smells of Christmas and most people have little trouble ticking off their favorites: The perfume of evergreen, the citrusy smell of fruit in the Christmas stockings, cinnamon spice tea brewing, the aroma of gingerbread cookies and pumpkin bread baking.
So popular are these smells that they've been packaged in Christmas aerosol sprays, candles and refresher oils.
Not so with the New Year.
When children are home on Christmas break, sometimes you can run out of things to do. It's always a great idea to head to the kitchen and make some fun treats.
Pinterest has plenty of ideas to choose from. But sometimes, including the two I chose, there only is a photo to go by with no recipe instructions.
As I write this column, on Dec. 18, it is exactly one week until Christmas. Our mail lady brought three packages to the front door today. Gee, I thought I was through wrapping presents.
When thinking about what to write this week, I became nostalgic and wondered what I wrote in columns at this time of the year during the last seven years. Two years I wrote memoirs without recipes. This week I present to you a collection of favorites from 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
I know many of you have your Christmas trees up, but I want to tell the recipe, you might say, for a Christmas tree.
First, there is the tree. While growing up, we always had a cedar tree from our farm. Later, Mike and I bought our first trees from a tree stand until the fresh tree succumbed to the artificial tree, but where is the aroma of a fresh tree?
I saw a video this week of Cookie Monster learning the concept of delayed gratification while waiting to get a cookie from actor Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki in the "Thor" films. Cookie Monster had a hard time grasping this concept, but by waiting and not eating Hiddleston's cookie, he was rewarded with an entire plate of cookies.
It's only 15 days until Christmas and if you are like me, you are trying to think of the right gift for someone on your list.
A cookbook might be the answer and I have a couple suggestions. I love cookbooks; I can sit down and read one like a novel. Just within the last month, I've added two new cookbooks to my collection.
If you like to cook and bake, Christmas is a time to share that joy with others. One of the staples of this tradition is making Christmas candy.
This Christmas I wanted to try a couple new things.

Dedicated November 23, 1996, the San Diego State University War Memorial was commissioned and funded by the SDSU Alumni Association's War Memorial Committee. Located just west of the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union and north of the campus trolley station, it is recognized as one of the few free-standing tributes of its kind on a college campus in the United States.
The monument is a three-sided reinforced concrete monolith faced with Sierra White granite standing 25 feet high. The sleek column, its broken and jagged top symbolizing untimely death, was designed by former SDSU art professor Jesus Dominguez. Its three sides are etched with the names of 233 former San Diego State students lost in service to their country during military conflicts: World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) the associated press April 15, 2014; 10:03 a.m. Comments WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder is urging Congress to approve $15 million for training law enforcement officers in handling shooting rampages. Holder's comments follow the recent shootings at a Jewish Community Center in Kansas and at Fort Hood, Texas. In a video message posted on the Justice Department website Tuesday, the attorney general says training is critical since patrol officers who arrive first on the scene are increasingly being relied on to respond directly to shooters rather than waiting for SWAT teams. The Justice Department and the FBI have provided this special training to 50,000 front-line officers in the past decade. ——— On the Net: http://www.justice.gov/tmp/041514/041514.html Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

'Taxi Driver': A Look Back in Photographs
With the onslaught of e-readers, physical books are on the slow boat to extinction. On the flip side, they are also becoming incredibly collectible works of art (listen up, Art Basel). The point was illustrated last week at a book launch for "Taxi Driver: Photographs by Steve Schapiro" at Taschen Beverly Hills. While the crowd was small, attendees were serious film connoisseurs; guests included director Michael Mann and photographer Howard Bingham.
Schapiro, whose iconic photographs have graced the pages of Life Magazine, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, was on hand at the party to sign copies of his new book. The photographer — who also worked as a behind-the-scenes photographer on over 200 films — was on the set of "Taxi Driver" for about 10 weeks. He had free reign to shoot whatever he wanted, in that wonderful era before the shackling constraints of the publicity machine cuffed creativity and editorially stifled what would and would not see the light of day.
Paul Duncan, who has edited over 50 books for Taschen, said for him, Schapiro's "Taxi Driver" photographs were one of those rare finds. "Having researched film material for so long, there are some films that everybody adores; so you're always looking for photos, and 'Taxi Driver' is one of those films," said Duncan. "But there are very few photos available. So when Steve pulled out 1,000 slides [to show me], I almost fell over. Then he showed me 80 rolls of film from the movie that he shot, that hadn't ever been developed."
"Taxi Driver" is a collection of never before seen photographs from the set of Scorsese's masterpiece, starring Robert De Niro as psychopath Travis Bickle. The book is an oversized, limited edition of 1,200, with the first 200 art editions coming in at a whopping $2,000 apiece (at this writing it is well on its way to selling out).
Speakeasy spoke to Schapiro about the images contained in his book.
Some of the more violent images left us aghast.
You have realize two things: One, the only way you could really see the blood scenes is in this book because all the existing copies of the film had that taken out of them… The other thing that's amazing about the film is just how Jodie Foster, at the age of 12, created an incredible characterization that mature actresses don't come up with… and that was an extraordinary performance.
How did you end up working on the set?
I was a special photographer, and at that time, that was someone who was hired because not only they were a great photographer, but their connection to magazines was such that you had a good chance of placing those pictures in major magazines. So studios were anxious to have you work on the film because if they could get 6-8 pages in a major magazine, it was free advertising that was much less expensive for them. Today it's very different –- the studio does a buyout early on and they own all the material and their handling is much more different than it was back then.
You own all this material?
Yes. The first teaser poster is made from a photograph that I took… But if they [the studio] weren't going to use photos for advertising purposes, they never did a buyout.
I love magazines and books, but producing a high end book with beautiful photographs is a bit of a risky proposition.
I worked for Life, and I did an enormous amount of documentary [work]; I traveled with Bobby Kennedy, I did Haight-Ashbury, I did everything from poodles to presidents. I can only explain it by saying, when John F. Kennedy died, for three days, everyone was glued to television to watch it. But then they had to go out, to buy a copy of Life's memorial issue, because they had to own history. So it's very much like that; with a film that you like, it goes by so quickly, but this way you have it in front of you and you can spend time with it and see more of the individual moments. It creates an emotional flow like the old Life Magazines where you had an emotional sense that went through a story.
With this, you're a book that isn't ordinary in any way but extraordinary in every way.
You see in his character that there is an enormous disconnect –- he's like a child when he tries to connect with Cybill Shephard or Jodie Foster. He stumbles. But you can see how the war affected him.
This may not be relevant, but Paul Schrader and Scorsese were deeply religious and at one point, each of them thought about becoming a minister or a priest. They saw this film as a ritual film, and almost as a religious film but in everyday terms. And in the end, a lot of people have asked what it meant when De Niro holds a gun to his head and it basically that he's missed his martyrdom there.
I went to a lecture where Paul Schrader spoke at the Academy some years ago, where he said his character, Travis Bickle was a man who was incredibly lonely. He has people coming in and out of his cab all night, yet he still cannot connect.
Two things: Paul Schrader almost wrote the book autobiographically. He supposedly wrote the script in about 15 days, with a loaded gun on his desk.. I also feel that the relevance of Taxi Driver today is still very prominent. It came out at the end of the Vietnam War and Travis Bickle is a Special Forces Marine, he's popping pills, and driving a taxi because he can't sleep at night; he really likes guns. And today we have soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan, and it's really exactly the same situation. So I feel the movie has added relevance to today besides being a classic movie, it's something we're living through once more. And the violence is coming out once more as well.

The Tart Marg
You can use the recipe below to make a single, day-erasing, stress-obliterating margarita (though for the glass size pictured, you'll need a double) but I actually find the ratio approach easier. I squeeze all of the limes I have into a liquid measuring cup, add an equal amount of Triple Sec or Cointreau, and two times as much tequila. You got that? 1:1:2. Now close your eyes and be in Mexico with me.
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounce) tequila
1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) Triple Sec or Cointreau
1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon simple syrup (optional)
Garnish: Lime slices and/or salted rims
Shake, strain, and serve over ice in margarita glass, preferably one of those with a cactus stem.

Kasia Struss debut season was Spring 2006. She walked for Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton, but most of all - drew the attention of fashion journalists and magazine editors. One year later, she opened the runway shows of best fashion labels like Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Jil Sander, Balenciaga, Giambattista Valli and more.
Once Struss became a familiar face on the best fashion stages, more top designers casted her for their own shows. Here is a partial list of designers Struss worked with: Armani Privé, Valentino, Prada, Gucci, Dior, Givenchy, Cavalli, Hilfiger, Chanel, Elie Saab, Balenciaga and the list goes on and on.
During the Spring/Summer 2008 season, Struss was the most booked model, walking a total of 75 shows. The Fall 2009 season was almost as successful, when the Polish model appeared in 71 shows. During Spring/Summer 2010 season Kasia walked about 61 shows and was ranked number 8 on FTV's First Face countdown.
Although 2010 and 2011 were a bit slower for Struss on the catwalks, she managed to open and close some of the best fashion shows. She opened the Roberto Cavalli and No. 21, Viktor & Rolf, Diesel, Yves Saint Laurent and other runway shows in Paris, Milan and New York fashion weeks.
Kasia Struss' first ad campaign was for Pringle of Scotland in 2007. Photographer Steven Meisel was behind the cameras while Struss posed along with Irina Kulikova and Denisa Dvorakova. The same year, she became the face of Jil Sander and photographed for Dolce & Gabbana and for Valentino ad campaigns.
During 2009 Struss became the face of Chloe' and in 2010 she was chosen to be Jil Sander's face once again. 2011 was also a very fruitful year in terms of ad campaigns. Struss was chosen to be the face of Miu Miu, and also starred in Kenzo and Bottega Veneta Fall ad campaigns.
When she is not on the runway, Kais likes to spend time shopping. Usually she is looking for unique vintage items for her own personal collection.

There's a rabbit in Mandela's ear?
The arts department says it will investigate if a rabbit was put into the bronze statue of former president Nelson Mandela at Union Buildings.
A rabbit hidden in the newly erected Nelson Mandela statue at the Union Buildings had the department of arts and culture baffled, Beeld reported on Saturday.
The sculptors of the nine metre bronze-plated statue, Andre Prinsloo and Ruhan Janse van Vuuren, secretly added the rabbit to the work, according to the report. The duo told the newspaper the rabbit was a "small trademark" of their work after the department did not allow them to engrave their signatures on the statue trousers. They said it also represented the tight deadline they were working under as rabbit in Afrikaans haas also meant haste.
"The time factor was big and at times we had to work hard," Prinsloo said, adding that the "small symbol" was hidden in the ear and it did not take anything away from the statue.
"You need a long lens or binoculars to see it," he said. "During the moulding process a lot of people had seen the statue up close and nobody noticed it."
Department spokesperson Mack Lewele told the newspaper he was not aware of the addition to the statue and it would investigate the matter.
"We can't comment until we have seen it with our own eyes," Lewele said.
Lewele did not say whether the department would consider removing the rabbit. – Sapa
