In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Mr. President:
The Palestinian issue still occupies the interest of the international community because of its repercussions on international peace and security. From the early years when the United Nations was founded, the Palestinian issue has been on the agenda of the General Assembly. In its 29th session, the assembly passed its Historic Resolution 3236, in which it affirmed the right of the Palestinian people for self-determination, and their right for independence and sovereignty in their homeland, Palestine.
The General Assembly established the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People in Resolution 3376 of November 10, 1975, to conduct studies and submit recommendations whose aim is to enable the Palestinian people to practice their legitimate rights. The committee submitted its report to the current session welcoming again the Middle East peace conference, which was opened in Madrid on October 30, 1991, and which was co-sponsored by the United States of America and the former Soviet Union, as a significant step towards establishing a complete and just peace in the region.
Mr. President:
The concept of nationalism is based on two fundamental principles: the first is that national rights evolve from a nation which is aware of its independent identity, and the second is that self-determination is a fundamental right for achieving national rights. And without self-determination, which is practiced without foreign pressure or repressive practices, no nation will have any political choices. Consequently, national rights, including the rights og independence, sovereignty, and return, are the result of the actual and authentic practice of self-determination.
One of the aims of founding the United Nations was to establish friendly relations founded on the principle of equitable rights and the right of self-determination for people all over the world. I would like here to refer to General Assembly Resolution 2672, which affirmed the right of the Palestinian people to enjoy equitable rights and self-determination in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and according to which it was declared that complete respect for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people is an intrinsic element in achieving a permanent and just peace in the Middle East.
Mr. President:
The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People expressed in its report before us its deep concern over the increased deterioration in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel's continuing harsh repressive practices in violation of international law and United Nations resolutions. The committee condemned in particular Israel's continuing use of armed force in suppressing the intifada which is in its fifth year. The committee affirmed in its report that Israel's continuing occupation of the Palestinian land and depriving the Palestinian people of their inalienable rights, including their right of self-determination without foreign intervention, is the main obstacle in the face of achieving a permanent and just peace.
Israel's violations of international law, and in particular its obligations according to the Fourth Geneva Convention concerned with the protection of civilians during armed conflicts, make it a priority for the international community to take specific measures to guarantee Israel's respect and application of this convention in all circumstances in accordance with its obligations under Article One of that convention. The second article of the convention specifies that military necessity does not give an occupying army the right to deprive the people under occupation of basic protection. The report says that the number of Palestinians who were killed during the fourth year of the intifada (1991) was 117. Children represent 37.6 per cent of that number, bearing in mind that 50 per cent of the dead were assassinated by secret units which consist of persons from the Israeli Army, the border forces, and the Shin Beth Police, who disguise themselves in Arab garb and shoot Palestinian youth indiscriminately and without warning.
Israel continues to violate the Fourth Geneva Convention by appropriating land and building settlements in the occupied territories. The report of the committee on the exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people says that the Israeli authorities appropriated, by military decrees, 60 percent of the West Bank and Gaza between 1967 and 1992; 230,000 Israelis were settled in 212 settlements all over the occupied territories, including the holy city of Jerusalem. Israel continues in its projects to alter the demographic status of the old section of Jerusalem and the areas surrounding it in order to alter the Arab and Islamic identity of Jerusalem. The Israeli authorities are executing regional plans to exploit the natural resources in the Palestinian land by appropriating water resources and controlling them and by restricting the use of water by the Palestinian people for use in irrigation and other necessities.
The Israeli Housing Ministry has lately allocated huge amounts of money to execute projects that connect the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza with Israeli areas in an attempt to eliminate the borders between Israel and the occupied Arab territories. It continues to destroy the West Bank by harming the fabric of Palestinian society, which worsens the dilemma facing the Palestinians and deprives them of the right to work and movement and exposes them to collective punishment like school and university closures for long periods of time, the disruption of health care, and arbitrary mass arrest. And according to reports by international human rights organizations to the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the Israeli authorities killed at least 1,062 Palestinians from December 1987 to June 1992, most by bullets. As collective punishment, the cities and villages in the occupied Palestinian territories were subjected to 11,500 days of curfew, and more than 145,000 trees were destroyed.
Mr. President:
The report of the committee (A/AC.183/1992/CRP.2/REV.1 of October 27, 1992) says: "The committee reiterates its most urgent appeal to the Security Council, to the high contracting parties to the Geneva Convention and to all concerned to take all necessary measures to insure the safety and international protection of the Palestinians in the occupied territories pending the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the achievement of a just settlement." The committee also calls upon the international community to "take all possible measures to halt the rapid deterioration in the living conditions of the Palestinian people and to develop socio-economic structures that will lead to genuine development of the occupied Palestinian territory in preparation for independent nationhood."
In this regard, I would like to say that the Arab countries have affirmed their sincere wish for establishing a permanent and just peace in the Middle East. They also proved their positive positions within the framework of participating in the peace negotiations, co-sponsored by the United States of America and the Russian Federation, and according to Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and the other related resolutions.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given its full support to the peace process in the Middle East. It believes that no real peace in the Middle East could be established unless there is a just and permanent solution to the Palestinian question, and unless there is a complete Israeli withdrawal from Arab occupied lands, foremost among which is the holy city of Jerusalem, which is an integral part of the occupied Arab territories.
The question of the holy city of Jerusalem is a constant to which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gives full importance according to the resolutions by the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference concerned with this issue. Therefore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia believes that the success of the current peace process in the Middle East depends on Israel's clear and serious adherence to the implementation of legitimate international resolutions and to the complete withdrawal from occupied Arab land, including the holy city of Jerusalem. Then there is hope for security, peace, and prosperity in the region.

The South Summit High School softball team has been on a roll lately, picking up a huge 18-6 rout of 4A Wasatch and an 11-1 thrashing of 2A foe Gunnison last week.
That roll continued for the 2A Wildcats on Monday afternoon in Oakley when 5A Lone Peak came to town.
The Wildcats took a 2-0 lead after one inning and never looked back, cruising to an easy 10-0 victory in just five innings.
Though South Summit scored more runs in the games last week, coach Cody Bowen said Monday's game was one of the best he's seen his team play.
"That was a complete game," he said. "We hit well, we played defense and we pitched well that's what I'm hoping for. We didn't have any meltdown innings. There were a couple things we could have done better a couple baserunning problems in one inning but if we can play like that, we'll be tough to beat."
The most damage came in the bottom of the fourth inning, when the Wildcats put up six runs.
Natalie Nichols started the scoring by smacking an RBI single. Hannah Peterson followed with a two-run double. McKaye Woolstenhulme then lined an RBI single through the middle. Jamie McNeil tacked on another two-run double to finish up the big inning.
Bowen was pleased with the way Nichols and Peterson continued their season-long hot streak, getting on base from the top two spots in the batting order to set the table for their teammates to drive them in.
"[Natalie] and Hannah are both very similar," he said.
Nichols also had a strong day on the mound, turning in one of her best performances of the year.
"Natalie pitched a great game," Bowen said. "She went a solid five innings four hits, five strikeouts, no walks."
Defensively, Bowen praised the play of his infield, made up of Woolstenhulme at third, Peterson at shortstop, Taylor Reidhead at second and McNeil at first.
"The infield was very solid today," he said. "It's a very athletic group. They've all got great arms and good hands. [Woolstenhulme, Peterson and Reidhead] can all play anywhere on the field."
Getting strong infield play is important to Bowen, who hopes to see more errorless games from his team as the season wears on.
"That's the key," he said. "It's a big deal when you only give up three outs an inning not four, not five."
After the string of big wins, Nichols said the confidence of the entire team is growing.
"I feel like we're getting better and it's just in time for state," she said.
"I'm hoping we're starting to peak at the right time," Bowen added. "We'll see, though I've said all along Manti is the team to beat and we've got to go there next Friday. We've got to beat Gunnison prior to that and we have to play North Summit [Tuesday]. I'm hoping we're continually building."
Nichols said the road ahead will be tough, but she and her teammates are ready for the challenge.
"It'll take confidence in ourselves and making sure we're playing like we know we can," she said.

getIC.pl - This program returns the information content of a concept or a term.
This program takes in a CUI or a term and returns its information content.
Usage: getIC.pl [OPTION] IC | FREQUENCY FILE [CUI|TERM]
Concept Unique Identifier (CUI) or a term from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS)
File containing the information content or the frequency counts of CUIs in the following format:
CUI<>freq CUI<>freq
See the example files called icpropagation and icfrequency in the samples/ directory.
Note: if you are using a frequency file you must specify --icfrequency on the command line because the propagation counts are computed on the fly
Flag to indicate that the FILE specified on the command line is a frequency file.
Flag to indicate that the FILE specified on the command line is a propagation file. This is the default.
This is the configuration file. The format of the configuration file is as follows:
SAB :: <include|exclude> <source1, source2, ... sourceN>
REL :: <include|exclude> <relation1, relation2, ... relationN>
RELA :: <include|exclude> <rela1, rela2, ... relaN> (optional)
For example, if we wanted to use the MSH vocabulary with only the RB/RN relations, the configuration file would be:
SAB :: include MSH REL :: include RB, RN RELA :: include inverse_isa, isa
SAB :: include MSH REL :: exclude PAR, CHD
If you go to the configuration file directory, there will be example configuration files for the different runs that you have performed.
Incorporate Laplace smoothing, where the frequency count of each of the concepts in the taxonomy is incremented by one. The advantage of doing this is that it avoides having a concept that has a probability of zero. The disadvantage is that it can shift the overall probability mass of the concepts from what is actually seen in the corpus.
Takes a file of CUIs (one per line) and returns their information content.

Sacred Geometry
The new and exciting field of entropic gravity with its
sacred geometry
implications is yielding new ways to view the underlying nature of the universe. Physicists are using some concepts of sacred geometry to look at possible explanations for how matter is constructed at the most basic level.
There are many great informational sites on Sacred Geometry but it is hard to beat Bruce Rawles Sacred Geometry page. It provides an introduction to the concepts of sacred geometry and proceeds on to the more complex ideas like Fractals and Recursive Geometries. He also publishes a highly recommended Sacred Geometry Design
which is packed with information and patterns.
Sacred Geometry is considered an informational and geometry system that underlies the fabric of the universe. Many scientists maintain that, "Sacred Geometry holds that the geometry, mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportion that we have uncovered in our science and mathematics are also found in music, biology, light and cosmology." Once one becomes familiar with some of the patterns, one is liable to start finding them repeated elsewhere in other disciplines. Sacred geometry may be understood as a world view that posits that there are patterns that underlie the outward manifestation of what we call reality. Feng Shui holds that the Geometry that represents and underpins these basic patterns of reality are considered by many as Sacred. By connecting with these patterns of Sacred Geometry, a believer can contemplate the Great Mysteries, and the Great Design. Insights into the working of the universe may be derived from patterns, forms and their relationships and interconnections, ideas may be gained into the mysteries; the laws and form of the Universe. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown has peeked the curiosity of many. Sacred Geometry is such a vast area of exploration that there is no one perfect place to start. We have provided a few tools that we hope may help you in your journey of discovery.
Zometools Geometry sets
allow a diversity that can enhance your sacred geometry explorations. Zometools also known as Zome Systems provide a wide range of geometry kits for enhancing your awareness of the sacred geometry aspects of the universe. Speaking of ZomeTools, here is an interesting article showing physicist Garrett Lisi using Zometools to blend physics and sacred geometry to demonstrate his E8 model for his theory of everything.
I use many of these items as hands-on-teaching tools when I facilitate my Sacred Geometric Quantum Holographic Workshops.
Feng Shui
Feng Shui relates to Sacred Geometry in that it is in part an interpretation of the natural world involving geometric positioning of features in the environment.

Where to Stay
Accommodations in Buenos Aires range from palatial opulence to budget hostels and hotels to fit anyone's wallet. There are several preferred neighborhoods to choose from. Elegant Ricoleta, home to the famous cemetery, has many 4 and 5 star hotel chains. Palermo is a fashionable neighborhood with parks and trendy eateries and is the location of many boutique hotels like the Palermitano. Another area lots of travelers stay in is Puerto Madero, the old port, where there is excellent security, tons of restaurants and where many big hotels like the Hilton have set up shop. The bohemian San Telmo area is the best budget option.
Book well in advance during the annual Tango Festival or other big B.A. events and Argentinian summer holidays.

In December, we dreamed of fabulous presents and sweets. Now that it's January, however, we're more interested in conquering belly bulge. On his Jan. 8 talk show, Dr. Mehmet Oz explained how you can get a flat tummy fast with his new 21-day weight loss plan. In addition, he revealed how his special belly-blasting smoothie recipe can help.
Dr. Oz's belly-blasting expert for this episode was Liz Vaccariello, author of "Flat Belly Diet" and "Flat Belly Diet Family Cookbook." The science behind the flat belly diets: Bacteria. Scientists have discovered that when your digestive bacteria are not balanced, you are more apt to gain weight and experience problems such as belly bloat, explained Dr. Oz and Liz. When you achieve a balance of "good" bacteria, you have your own weight loss weapon to boost fat-burning.
Here are the guidelines for the 21-day flat tummy diet:
- To reduce inflammation and decrease bad stomach bacteria, consume a food with magnesium each morning and take a supplement. Dr. Oz recommends adding one tablespoon of chia, flax or pumpkin seeds to your breakfast and taking a 400 mg supplement.
- For lunch and dinner, flatten your belly with oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice and polenta. These foods keep your digestive tract running on track and minimize inflammation. Avoid foods like pastry and cookies.
- Stay away from salt and fatty snacks. Instead, enjoy foods that contain belly-blasting MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids), such as avocado and olives.
- Spice up your life with belly-bloat-battling ginger. You can use the recipe below.
Sip the maple and ginger elixir once a day.
Ginger & Maple Elixir Ingredients
- 6 thin slices of ginger, peeled
- 3 cups boiling water
- 2 tsp maple syrup
Directions: Steep the ginger slices in the boiling hot water. Add maple syrup. Stir.
Dr. Oz also talked about a new food to add to your weight loss arsenal: Green bananas. They contain resistant starch, which curb your hunger while reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Makes 1 1/2 cups
- 1 green banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 3 dates, pitted
- Juice and zest of 1/2 lime
Process all ingredients in a blender and serve.
For a thinner smoothie add another 1/2 cup almond milk.

Auburn defensive back Jerraud Powers gambled and won when he threw his name in the NFL. His decision to forgo his senior season was rewarded when he was selected by the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Powers joins Auburn teammate -- and defensive lineman -- Sen'Derrick Marks in the draft. Marks was taken in the second round by Tennessee on Saturday. Look for offensive lineman Tyronne Green to go next.
Auburn's running draft total: 20 players beginning with the 2005 draft.
Some other Auburn names to consider -- either for the draft or as a free agent signee -- are running backs Brad Lester and Tristan Davis, linebacker Merrill Johnson, defensive lineman Tez Doolittle and receivers Rod Smith and James Swinton.

Comics Time: Slow Storm
Slow Storm
Danica Novgorodoff, writer/artist
First Second, 2008
176 pages
Buy it from Amazon.com
This is like half of a good book. The visual half, for the most part. Danica Novgorodoff's story of a Kentucky firefighter and the undocumented Mexican worker she kinda sorta befriends after a fire claims the stable he tended is a stunning-looking thing. She has a wiry line that often suggests handwriting, with all its idiosyncracies, so that the occasional wonky scale or perspective seems like (or can be passed off as) a deliberate choice. Individual moments beam out a little Taiyo Matsumoto, a little Ralph Steadman, a little Gerald Scarfe, only with the dial turned from savage to lilting. And her watercolor coloring takes a limited palette of greens, browns, grays, and oranges and fleshes out the artwork so lushly I barely even realized just how few colors she limited herself to in the first place. It's in the moments where she really draws with the colors--a creek, a tornado, the omnipresent cloud and fire motifs--that the book comes alive.
But its in moments where the dialogue takes the lead where it sputters. Frequently too portentous--every conversation creaks under the weight of capital-M Meaning--it fails to convince us of firefighter Ursa's shattered psyche, so that when she perform's the book's central act it feels like a horrifying, selfish overreaction. Which, granted, it's supposed to feel like, but you're also supposed to think "okay, I could see where that came from," whereas I just thought "Christ, what a fucking maniac." Ditto her behavior during the event's fallout, which adds "asshole" to the equation. Meanwhile, Rafi, the Mexican immigrant, is laden with poetic visions of saints and white horses--it's just laid on too thick. The key for Novgorodoff (an Isotope winner and Eisner nominee who clearly doesn't need any advice from me but what the hey) will be to scale back her swing as a writer and tell a story as understated as her art is sweeping.

HTC Smart2 render apparently shows up. HTC Speedy (with Froyo) to join the Epic 4G on Sprint?
Remember the rumored HTC Smart2? We've first heard about it in May: it should be HTC's second Brew-based handset, coming with Wi-Fi and Office Suite (two features that the first Smart doesn't have).
YouHTC has what seems to be a render of the HTC Smart2. Sure enough, this could be a fake, but it looks HTC-ish enough to be the real deal (and similarities with the first Smart can be observed if you look at those three hardware keys).
From what we've previously heard, the HTC Smart2 will be launched in India (among other markets), where it could cost around 10,000 INR ($213). We don't know when HTC plans to announce the new phone, but we'll bring updates on the matter as soon as we have them.
Brew aside, YouHTC also has an Android story: reportedly, Sprint is getting ready to launch the HTC Speedy, an unannounced Android 2.2 Froyo smartphone.
Like the Samsung Epic 4G, the HTC Speedy should feature a QWERTY keyboard. However, its other features are not on par with the Epic 4G's, including a 3.5 inch, 320 x 480 (HVGA) touchscreen display, 5MP camera with flash, 386MB RAM, and an 800MHz processor.
It's said that the Speedy will come with an improved HTC Sense UI that includes some "innovations" – which are likely the result of HTC acquiring Abaxia.
No word on a launch date or anything like that for the HTC Speedy, but we'll keep you posted.

Google Reader vs. Bloglines
bibliosk8 does a bit of comparison…
bibliosk8 does a bit of comparison…
Search, Flickr View, Add Page. I haven't seen any numbers lately. Is Google Reader still kicking Bloglines?
Wow. Two new features in as many days? Will Bloglines be able to keep up with Google Reader? I doubt it. Google has an infinite amount of money. Bloglines? Not as much.
Google Reader makes me feel smarter. Bloglines never did that (and I won't find out if it does now, because I'm not going back to it).
If you are not into statistics and rankings, stop reading.
Bloglines introduced their top 1000 feeds today. Of course, I checked my ranking. As of right now, I'm at 151. Not too shabby.
Rats. I actually have to log in and check out the new Bloglines (Must. Remember. Password.) Can RSS reading get better, easier, and quicker than Google Reader? Doubtful, but there needs to be competitors in the market.
Bill Drew makes the switch. Have you?
Somehow I missed the news of Bloglines Image Wall. Well, apparently, they got a few complaints. So, they fixed it:
"[W]e now realize we didn't take into proper consideration how the Image Wall might impact educators, librarians and other people who have a responsibility for limiting access to adult material. Many of these good folks are users and even advocates of Bloglines. They form a community that we respect and admire. For them, simply making the personal choice not to view the Image Wall after reading the disclaimer is not sufficient to satisfy their obligations to those they are charged with protecting.
These valid concerns place the Image Wall squarely in the middle of the classic tension between "freedom of expression" and "freedom from expression". It's not a tension unfamiliar to libraries, schools (or, for that matter a search company), as each struggles to strike the right balance between access and restriction.
Over the past week, with the help and advice of many of you, we've been working to strike that balance for the Image Wall and the users of Bloglines. We feel we've found it."
They've moved the image wall to http://www.bloglinesimagewall.com/
Librarians and teachers rejoice. I think.
Laura "Tegan" Gjovaag does a stream of consciousness review of Google Reader while comparing it to Bloglines. Do take a look. I like this quote, which I was thinking too as I fell madly in love with Google Reader:
"Here's my thoughts, as I go through the new Google Reader… First off, before I even open the thing, I'm thinking how Google is slowly taking over my life. Their e-mail system is better than many others (I love being able to put emails in multiple "folders" with the labels function, and the spam filter is better than just about anyone else), I use their search engine almost exclusively, and they've bought Blogger. Despite their mantra "Don't Be Evil", they've made some very depressing choices regarding politics and internet freedom. Hmmm… do I really want to turn over my blog reading to them as well?"

Can Hackers be Stopped: Who Are They?
Posted on August 19, 2011
ManTech International, the computer security company worth $2.6 billion that recently won a contract with the F.B.I. to keep our nation's computer network secure just got hacked. Wow, if that doesn't raise some of the hairs on the back of your neck I don't know what will!
Jeff Moss, founder of two popular conferences on hacking and the security industry, aptly named Black Hat and Defcon, said of the incident, "Whether an intrusion is conducted by a skilled outsider with criminal intent, an adolescent hacker seeking a thrill or a disgruntled employee bent on revenge or espionage, the potential risks to the organization are enormous."
ManTech was just the latest organization to be put at risk. An operation of Internet vigilantes ironically calling itself "Anonymous" is taking responsibility for hacking into ManTech's computers to highlight the fact that all companies are at risk from hackers and that there is no such thing as a truly secure network.
After " Anonymous " broke in and confiscated internal company documents they left the computer security company a tongue-in-cheek message saying, "It's really good to know that you guys are taking care of protecting the United States from so-called cyber threats."
Needless to say besides the embarrassment, ManTech is taking measures to step up their efforts to install more secure firewalls and are literally scrambling to find more sophisticated ways to protect their own, as well as our nation's, security networks.
In the months preceding this latest computer information hijacking debacle several other security and consultant firms have been hacked into by the very people they were hired to thwart.
Many of these security companies liken themselves to the Pinkertons; a posse of security men of the Wild, Wild West hired by the government to protect wealthy ranchers and banks.
Well who are those guys?
More to the point, how are they going to keep our nation's corporate, government and intelligence data safe from… well… everybody?
At a Las Vegas Conference of Black Hat this week Mr. Moss went on to say of the hacking, "With the rise of hacktivism, now the people who break into you tell you they break into you," He went on to say, "A little bit of public humiliation is going to go a long way in helping the security industry clean up."
Although "Anonymous" claimed it went after defense and intelligence contractors to simply expose their vulnerabilities and were not in it for the glory, spite or any financial gain, this may have set a dangerous precedent for other brilliant albeit misguided computer hackers who wish to do no harm.
In a previous incident the group hit another computer security company called Booz Allen Hamilton based in McLean, Va. However in that particular hacking heist they put 90,000 military personnel in danger when they released their e-mail addresses.
Just a quick message to the happy hackers calling themselves "Anonymous"… exactly who's side are you on?

Network Traffic Monitoring
My company is looking for a monitoring app/tool that would allow us to capture and graph statistics on network performance. As a starting point, we would like to ping remote host(s) and gateway(s) from several of our servers, grab an average of the ping times from each of our servers to the remote host(s), and then graph it (preferably in a central location). Also, we would like to be able to graph the results for time frames as short as a week to as long as 6 months.
It is reasonable to expect that we would ask more of the selected monitoring app/tool as we come up with other key network performance indicators in the future. So an app with great flexibility and features would be ideal.
Upon first glance, Cacti looks like it might be a fit. Any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Taylor Cawthon's family is pretty proud of her.
And they should be.
Besides being at the top of her class at Lorain High School, where she is involved in student government, she was crowned last night as 2012 Lorain International Festival queen.
They put that pride on display Friday evening as International Festival's bazaar kicked off, with at least seven family members showing up in T-shirts proclaiming "I'm the queen's mom," "I'm the queen's dad," "I'm the queen's grandmother," and "I'm the queen's sister."
And the T-shirts became quite a conversation starter, according to dad Steve Cawthon.
"As you walk through the crowd, people are kind of like, 'Oh, congratulations!' " he said.
Click any image to view larger.
"A lot of looks," he continued. "When you're walking with Taylor people figure it out, but then when you have this shirt on, it's kind of a dead giveaway. … It's a nice feeling. You're already proud of her, but when you have people thanking you and congratulating you and doing all those types of things as you walk through the crowd, it makes it really nice."
Cawthon credits Taylor's stepdad, Andy Santoro, with coming up with the T-shirt idea.
"After the crowning last night we were talking about doing something," Cawthon said, and Santoro said a friend of his could make T-shirts.
For T-shirts made in less than a day, both Cawthon, and his wife, Jenny, called them "way better than we expected" and all they could say for how he did it is "Andy pulled some strings."
Cawthon said most of the family members probably won't wear the T-shirts all weekend long because they will be getting dirty working the festival booths Saturday and will need to dress up a bit Sunday for the royalty breakfast.
"We figured it would be a nice way to start the festival off," he said. "Like my wife said, we're here every year, but this year it takes it to a whole 'nother level.
"When she won, when we heard her name announced last night — it was like — the closest thing I can compare it to is winning a championship in sports. It had that feeling for me, and seeing it happen — it was just amazing."

|Women's tennis wins finale
MOSCOW - The Idaho women's tennis team picked up its second straight 5-2 win on Sunday, beating Louisiana Tech in Western Athletic Conference action in the regular season finale.
Idaho swept the doubles point with an 8-4 win at No. 1, an 8-2 win at No. 2 and an 8-6 win at No. 3. Victoria Lozano earned a 6-3, 6-4 win at the top singles spot, and Almudena Sanz won 6-2, 7-6 at No. 2.

"I just told them out there that they should be really proud of themselves," Idaho coach Dan Pollock said. "They've done a fabulous job and 3-1 in the WAC is an amazing record. It's a tough conference and they've done a great job. Hopefully we'll get good seed in the tournament and we'll see what we can do down there."

The Russian Federation has once again stated that if any Russian citizen or if any Russian interest is attacked that it will retaliate in kind. In other words Russia is saying they are going to treat this like the Crimea and they are going to move in no matter what.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that if any pro Russian interest is harmed or attacked, that Russia will enter the Ukraine and take over when they feel like. Russia is simply making this up as they go along.
Russia is behind all the unrest in the Eastern Ukraine. Why? They want the industrial complex of a neighboring country and they are going to get it by lying their way to the bank. Russia has fabricated most of all that has gone on for the last few months. They wanted the Crimea for its oil and Black Sea Ports. They came up with the same story as they are doing now and they marched in after a laughable vote and took it.
Currently some 600 paratroopers are in Poland during a war game practice with Polish forces. More men and supplies are coming to other neighboring countries.
It seems like the time for sanctions are coming to an end. It is now time to take the bull by the horns and if attacked by the Russians that Ukraine will be getting help from NATO and the United States. It seems the Russia has upped the anti with the discovery of the tortured body of Ukrainian Government official Volodymyr Rybak.
With the city of Slovyansk being controlled by pro-Russian activists it is safe to assume that Rybak was tortured with Moscow's knowledge. It is time for Russia to realize that the European Union and the United States are no longer going to tolerate this kind of action.
Moscow's warnings are being heard but this time for different reasons. You see Moscow did this same type of action right before it crossed over to the Crimea. This is very possibly the same way they will enter the Eastern Ukraine. This time though they will not be going up against the Ukrainian forces but against true military special ops personnel. This time someone is going to get a bloodied nose and I believe it is Mr. Putin. Your time of being a bully is coming to an end sir.

Public access is available but difficult to get to. Best bet is to take the secondary entrance alongside the Plaza Marina Shopping Center and follow the road all the way to the beach, keeping to the right. You can walk westerly to the Boca de Tomates beach, a nice walk, which has a few restaurants and ends at the entrance to the Ameca River.

Managing the Java DB 10.2 Project
By MortazaviBlog on Jun 22, 2006
Managing and leading the Java DB 10.2 project, which involves the coordination of Sun's contributions and involvement in the Apache / Derby 10.2 effort, has taught me some valuable lessons regarding medium size projects composed from large global distribution of resources and effort crossing national as well as firm boundaries.
To begin with, when some 25 highly talented, technical and professional people from Sun work full or part-time in three major time zones (San Francisco Bay Area, Bangalore, Trondheim), the project manager as well as many of the leads and participants have to split and extend some amount of their working hours among all these zones. (For example, this week while working from my brother's apartment in Wiesbaden, Germany, my own work day has extended most fully, spanning both the Bay Area and Trondheim and a good chunk of the time in Bangalore. When we first released our Java DB package for Mustang, we coordinated qualification, evaluation and anticipation of JDBC 4 API changes across all three geos. The sense, desire and volunterism for collaboration was astounding.)
There are always communication challenges and misunderstandings that demand various types of solutions. E-mail, instant messaging, regular conferences and 1-on-1s as well as small, task-oriented one-time meetings bring together our focused attention on the goals of the global project and the larger community. However, these are simply the basic elementaries with which the team begins in order to bridge the gaps, build concensus and create group purpose. Other means involve conferences and meetings (e.g. JavaOne and ApacheCon) which bring us together in closer proximity to intensify the dialogues and create a more effective conversation within the team. Interactions of the less formal and ordered type prove particularly useful. The more random type of engagement, when possible, has tremendous effect in increasing harmonization of the "vibrating team strings" in all dimensions: personalities, tasks, external contacts, mini team and short-lived task force engagements, etc.
I've seen how people invited to a large room, in one of our global meetings or conferences, meander about to engage in conversations with many of their colleagues generating subtle but lasting effects on the project.
When it comes to the wider team of people who collaborate, on a larger scale, with various functions such as management, engineering, marketing, sustaining and support, the project demands a more formal and broad-based weekly meeting in which the team properly handles and swiftly generates and dispatches necessary action items on the path to successful coordination. The ultimate goal are the deliveries of the project and a quality release.
When this happens, the sense of elation and team accomplishment produces the greatest, most fulfilling rewards for everyone involved, and those who have sat by the wayside either miss the opportunity to be part of it or mistake what is going on for some sort of cult feeling, which it is not. Full engagement in the work of the team and the community becomes necessary in order to understand its work and to appreciate and partake of its accomplishments. It is wonderful and most rewarding to see this when it happens.
The ideal team works like a watch. Conflicts are resolved and lines of communications are clearly set. Perhaps, no place other than a battle field, the proper placement of these lines of communications within the organization are more important than we see in a global project of appreciable size involving more than a couple of dozen people and interacting with even a larger community that goes beyond the members drawn from one's own firm.
The challenges of the open source environment are only matched by the rewards offered by the whole community engaged in veting and examining one's own biases and intentions as well as reaching out to offer help and share knowledge.
Sharing is economically valuable because of the "excess" intellectual powerhouse that exists in all organizations.
In many industries, the high-tech firm has stopped being the absolute work boundary because no firm can fully and optimally deploy the complete impact of its employed intellectual powerhouse due to cognitive limitations of the form noted by transaction cost economists--limitations that have to do with coordination of complex projects and activities, as these activities grow in their intensity, depth of intellectual requirement and fullness of impact.
The sharing environment of the "open source" movement literally brings to life that "excess" capacity that is only "excess" because within the boundaries of the firm it lacks the complete opportunities offered in a larger-than-any-firm community context that can increase and multiply the value of that intellecutal capacity.
More, later ---

Jimmy Johnson on whether the Miami Dolphins have talent
During an appearance this morning on The Joe Rose Show, NFL on FOX analyst Jimmy Johnson had plenty to say about the Miami Dolphins, one of his former teams.
Asked flat-out by Rose on WQAM (560-AM) if the 2011 Dolphins have talent, Johnson was lukewarm in his assessment.
"I think they've got some talent," he said. "You know in the NFL the difference between the best and the worst is not that much. That's one reason why every single week if a team's not playing well and they're not protecting the ball, they've got a chance to get beat. Doesn't make any difference who they're playing.
"This team's got talent. Now, does it have the right talent at the right places? I know they had quarterback problems there early in the year and that was a problem for this team. You've got to have the right pieces to the puzzle. Obviously they didn't have the right pieces to the puzzle there early in the year."
Earlier Johnson praised the job Tony Sparano has done to keep this team playing hard amid a 1-7 start, but cautioned the Dolphins might need to play more backups and younger players in the second half of the season in order to get accurate evaluations on them going forward.
That, as Johnson pointed out, might run counter to the goals of Sparano and his coaching staff, which have been in survival mode for several weeks now.
"There's no telling how many games they might win now," Johnson said.
That's how impressive the Dolphins were on Sunday in Kansas City while winning 31-3.
And that's how much of an internal conflict any sort of too-little, too-late winning streak could present for this franchise.
How would you rate the Dolphins' talent out of the 32 NFL teams? Is it much higher than what their record suggests? Or does that record, as Bill Parcells always said, tell us what they really are?

Every metro area of a certain size deserves to have a kitschy, distinctive and laid-back coffeehouse such as Dancing Dogs, and Idaho Falls can count itself among one of those lucky cities. The atmosphere is great, the on-site roasted coffee is delicious, and patrons can feel comfortable coming to do schoolwork, meeting a friend for a game of chess, or just relaxing and reading a book. Walking into the building is just like walking into someone's home, and patrons are welcomed with generous hospitality.
Dancing Dogs is located in a refurbished farmhouse on north Hitt Road (otherwise known as 25th East), near the exit from Highway 20. Due to its out-of-the-way locale, many coffee aficionados in Idaho Falls are unaware that the coffeehouse even exists, but recent efforts by its new owners are hoping to change all that. Efforts such as more marketing and more visibility in terms of a satellite store are being put forth. A second, coffee-hut location at Sunnyside and southern Hitt serves up a "mini-me" Dancing Dogs menu.
Is the (face it, relatively short) drive to the fringes of Idaho Falls to experience the Dancing Dogs Coffeehouse worth it? Definitely. Not only is their coffee fabulous and locally roasted, but their baked goods are incredible in their homemade goodness (try the cinnamon rolls!).
Coffeehouse Hours:
Monday – Friday 6am-2pm
Saturday 10am – 9pm (with open mic night starting at 6pm)
Sunday 10am-2pm
Coffee Hut Hours:
Monday-Friday 6am-3pm
Saturday 8am-3pm
Closed Sunday

After Bold Move into Japan, Hartford Financial Relieved To Exit
Nearly 15 years after pioneering moves to break into the Japanese insurance market, Hartford Financial Services Group is happy to be exiting—though it will book a loss on its retreat.
Hartford announced Monday it has agreed to sell its Japan business for $895 million to Japanese financial conglomerate Orix Hartford said the transaction will take a bite of about $675 million out of its quarterly results.
But company Chairman and Chief Executive Liam McGee, in a news release, celebrated the deal as "a significant accomplishment in our efforts to transform The Hartford and create value for shareholders." The company expects a roughly $1.4 billion "capital benefit" from the deal, a result of freeing up about $540 million in money that had been used to back the unit and net sales proceeds of about $860 million.
Analysts are certain to be listening for Mr. McGee's comments on how Hartford plans to use the capital on the Connecticut-based company's first-quarter conference call Tuesday morning. The insurer reports results after the close Monday.
The sale of the Japanese business is one of the biggest transactions in a lengthy turnaround Mr. McGee has undertaken since coming aboard in 2009.
That turnaround was required, in part, because of the very Japan business the company is now selling. As stock markets around the world slid during the 2008-09 financial crisis, the meltdown exposed shortcomings in the way many life insurers had tried to hedge themselves as they sold market-linked, retirement-income products known as variable annuities. The variable annuities Hartford was selling with gusto in Japan were some of the industry's most problematic.
In short, guarantees sold with the products meant the insurers were on the hook for customers' market losses. Hartford had some of the heaviest financial exposure from such guarantees of any insurer in the U.S. and Japan, thanks to years as an industry leader in both countries. It was No. 1 in variable-annuity sales for Japan for a while after obtaining a life-insurance license in the country in 2000 to take advantage of the country's financial deregulation.
Hartford's stock lost 95% of its value at one point in 2008. The company was one of three insurers that took U.S. federal bail-out money, which it has since repaid.
Since arriving at the company in October 2009, Mr. McGee has narrowed the focus of the property-casualty and life-insurance conglomerate. Under his direction, Hartford kept its property-casualty business, a group-benefits operation that sells products to employers and a mutual-funds business.
Mr. McGee put the company's variable-annuity businesses in "run off," meaning claims are being paid and customer service is provided, but no new sales are made. Hartford also sold its individual-life-insurance business, as well as a broker-dealer firm, among other transactions.
Hartford's Japan business hit a peak in 2008 of $38.98 billion in account value on more than 580,000 annuity contracts. As markets rebounded, many customers cashed out of the contracts, and as of Dec. 31, the unit's annuity account values totaled $23 billion for 375,000 contracts, the company said.
In the U.S., Hartford's variable-annuity contracts peaked in 2004 at more than 1.5 million in force, while account value topped $120 billion in 2007. As of Dec. 31, the U.S. variable-annuity values stood at $61 billion, with 774,000 contracts.
When Hartford was a major seller of variable annuities, some of its innovations to protect consumers against market losses proved so popular that it set off an annuity arms race. In the early to mid 2000s, insurers added versions that lock in investment gains annually, monthly or even daily.
But the double whammy of credit-market and stock-market meltdowns dramatized the cost to the insurers of the guarantees. Since then, insurers that have continued to sell the products have rejiggered the guarantees so that they are less generous to consumers.
"This transaction is another step in The Hartford's transformation, which increases the company's financial flexibility, and meaningfully decreases our market risk and net income volatility," Hartford Chief Financial Officer Christopher Swift said in Hartford's Monday news release.

GCC/G++: some stress testing
<lucio <at> proxima.alt.za>
Before I apply some serious effort to bring P9GCC in line with the latest release, I'd like to convince myself that the effort is worth it. I'm keen to catch two birds with one stone: (a) make sure that version 3.0 is sufficiently functional and (b) determine how useful it really is. Please will anybody who has a Plan 9 objective that can only be attained using GCC/G++ please drop me a line to let me know briefly what it is? If the whole exercise gets a lot of support, I'll happily set up more infrastructure to deal with it (wiki, blog, remote access, whatever Bell Labs would rather not do themselves). ++L PS: I prefer if you use the 9fans list, I may miss your mail if I haven't already have entered your sender address in my whitelist. Use your discretion.

1D To Play Special Whitehouse Gig For Obama's Daughters
Lucky Malia and Sasha!
One Direction are apparently set to play a special concert for newly re-elected US President Barack Obama.
The band have been invited to perform as a thank-you to both girls for their help during the Presidential campaign, said the Daily Star. The boys were originally invited earlier in the year but were unable to make it due to a busy touring schedule.
The Daily Star said:
"It's an open invitation for a date to be arranged that fits in with everyone's busy schedules," the source said.
"It's not every parent who can invite the hottest band in the world to their home. They will be the envy of girls across the world."
Awww not fair – we want a personal concert from the lads!

Where and when were you born?
I was born in New York City on September 15, 1950.
Where did you go to school?
I went to St. Hugh's Elementary and Walt Whitman High School in Huntington, New York. I graduated from State University of New York at Albany.
Where do you live now?
I live in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, on a street I love as much as Mo loves Fox Street.
Do you have a family?
My husband Paul is a teacher. We have three beautiful, grown-up daughters: Zoe, Phoebe and Delia. Wait, who's nibbling my ankle? Oh, yes, can't leave out Habibi and Billy, our darling doofus cats.
Did you always want to be a writer?
The first thing I wanted to be was a dog. When I realized the odds of that, I switched to a cowgirl. Then an archeologist. I also wanted to be a mom. (Hooray! That came true.) I didn't decide to be a writer till I was grown-up.
Where do you get your ideas?
For me, stories always grow out of a real event or experience that sparks a memory or touches some strong emotion.
FOX STREET began with something that actually happened in a neighborhood not far from mine. Developers wanted to replace the little houses there with fancy condos and high end shops, but the home owners had other ideas. This made me think of the field behind the house where I grew up. I loved to play there--it was my bit of paradise--but one day bulldozers appeared, and soon my lovely, wild place was gone, replaced with new houses. As I wrote the book, I was also thinking of my own father. I loved him as much as Mo does Mr. Wren, but he sometimes let me down, and wasn't always the father I wanted. At certain points in life, we all have to let go of places or people. We find ways to both say goodbye and keep them in our hearts forever. I wanted to write about all that.
MO WREN got written because people kept asking me what happened after FOX STREET. I loved Mo and Dottie so much, I wanted to find out, too. Boy, was I surprised! (And yes, I do think about writing a third book someday, probably starring Dottie!)
PHOEBE AND DIGGER has its roots all the way back to when my daughters were little and I'd take them to a wonderful playground called Turtle Park. One day Zoe, all of two years old, was playing in the sandbox with her favorite toy car when a big kid came along and snatched it away. Poor Zoe! It was her first real experience of casual cruelty, and the dawning of the fact that she wasn't, after all, the center of the universe. I also wanted to write about how deeply and completely a child can love a toy, and feel that toy loves her back.
How do you write?
On a computer, though my pocket's always got a pen and notebook in it. I like to work in the morning, then go for a walk or a swim to think over what I wrote and what comes next.
Do you have any hobbies?
I love to garden and to look at other people's gardens. I also like to ride my bike and swim (not at the same time).
What would you be if you couldn't be a writer?
I'd have that job where you drive around and deliver flowers to people.
How can I become a writer?
1) You're already doing the most important thing: you're a reader! Read read read read…sorry, getting carried away.
2) Of course, you also need to write. Write about things you love, things you need to figure out, things that get you excited or angry or rolling around on the floor laughing. Write write write…sorry.
3) I've never written anything that didn't need to be re-written. I love revising, because it always gets me closer to the true heart of my story.
4) Finally, share. Celebrate! The world has a brand new story--hooray!

Friskies will donate one can of Friskies wet food for each vote (up to 250,000 cans), and these will be given to shelter cats. Earlier this year, the Purina subsidiary donated 50,000 meals to shelter cats in Texas.
There are nearly 86 million cat owners in the United States, according to the Humane Society.
Four Video Categories
YouTube celebrities are enlisted to announce winners in four categories: Grace Helbig (Funny), Zach King (Epic), Will Braden (Strange) and Jesse Wellens (Res-cute). There were 2,000 video entries and "now it's up to America to vote for the winners," according to a press statement.
"We're so impressed with the quality of the finalist cat videos; this is the third year of 'The Friskies' and the videos just keep getting better," said Whitney Evans, Friskies Assistant Brand Manager.

You can watch cats while you help cats; it doesn't get better than that."
According to a spokesperson, visitors to TheFriskies.com may vote daily; one vote per video, per person every day. The video that receives the most votes in each category will be deemed the winner of that category.
One Year's Supply of Cat Food
Each of the four category winners will take home $5,000 in cash as well as a golden catuette to commemorate the win. The video with the most votes overall will be crowned as the Grand Prize winner and will receive $25,000 in total.
All 12 finalists will receive a one year supply of Friskies cat food and cat treats as well as a trip to Los Angeles, Ca. to attend "The Friskies" Awards Gala.

Drawing | Painting | Ceramics | Sculpture | Printmaking
Drawing is the most basic skill needed to succeed in all the visual art disciplines. Whether you go into fine art, graphic design, or web design, there is no tool or technique that can replace the knowledge and ability to see and interpret the visual world than is acquired by learning to draw well. In the drawing series you will begin to explore a variety of approaches to the two dimensional surface and become familiar with the language and concepts of drawing and the tools of the trade: charcoal, pencil, ink line and ink wash.
Contour, gesture, value studies, perspective, proportion, and composition are addressed through interpretations of the still life, landscapes, interiors, and the figure. Students completing the series can feel confident in increased visual skills as they proceed to the fine or applied arts. The drawing course series can also be counted part of the foundation requirements of the Associate of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art which is an excellent preparation for transfer to a BFA program in art at a four year college.

I recall growing up in Charlotte hearing preachers on TV and the radio talk about the rapture of the church occurring soon. Jehovah's Witnesses came to our house many times talking about the soon to come kingdom of God. I remember hearing about the True Light Church of Christ in Charlotte predicting the end of the world in 1970. Some members of this church quit their jobs in anticipation of the event. When the end failed to happen, one church member even committed suicide.
I also remember the famous booklet, "88 Reasons Why the Rapture is in 1988." A few Charlotte radio preachers capitalized upon the popularity of the book but would hedge their bets on the accuracy of the prediction. "He may not come in 1988, but the signs of his coming soon are clear"
False prophet Harold Camping has declared that May 21, 2011 is the beginning of the pouring out of the wrath of God in judgement of the earth. First off, why would I risk the wrath of God myself by declaring Harold Camping a false prophet?
If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him. Deuteronomy 18:22 (New International Version)
Camping was made prophecies which did not come true. Yes, we have been down this road with him before. He declared September. 6, 1994 to be the end of days. His people gathered together looking up into the clouds for the first peek of Jesus coming on the clouds -- but it never he never came. The day of sorrows and woe never happened. Why? Camping said he made an error in calculations. This from a man who was trained as a civil engineer at the University of California, Berkeley.
But the resourceful engineer has put a spin on the missed prophecy. Here is what he said really happened in September, 1994: www.familyradio.com/graphical/literature/waat/almost_ch03.html
7. But then, as we shall discover in this study, 2,300 days after the beginning of the great tribulation, God's final great salvation program began. That day of history was September 7, 1994 (A.D.). It was on that date that God again poured out His Holy Spirit, so that for the next 17 years, all over the world, a great multitude of people would become saved.* Indeed, no one was aware of this awesome action of God at the time it occurred. But the Bible assures us that it did occur. That September 7, according to the Biblical calendar, was the first day
Excellent! But we have seen this kind of spin before. William Miller and his followers expected Jesus to return in 1844. Jesus did not show, of course. This day was called by some the "Great Disappointment". But the faithful had and explanation. Seventh Day Adventists teach that Miller's calculations were correct, but the interpretation was wrong. Jesus did not come to earth, He entered the Holy of Holies in heavenly temple.
Jehovah's Witnesses taught that the world would end in October 1914 and that 1918 would mark end of Armageddon. Clearly the world system did not end in 1914. What happened to the prediction? Here is one spin.
Just as Jesus predicted, his "presence" as heavenly King has been marked by dramatic world developments—war, famine, earthquakes, pestilences. (Matthew 24:3-8; Luke 21:11) Such developments bear powerful testimony to the fact that 1914 indeed marked the birth of God's heavenly Kingdom and the beginning of "the last days" of this present wicked system of things.—2 Timothy 3:1-5.
Camping also teaches that the church age ended in May 21, 1988 and that very few will be saved from now until the end of days. Here is the quote from the website linked above:
6. As we continue in this study, we will learn that the church age ended on May 21, 1988 (A.D.). This date coincided with the beginning of the time when God began to prepare the churches and the world for what the Bible calls the "great tribulation." We shall also learn that during the first 2,300 days of this 8,400-day tribulation, virtually no one could become saved.
As an engineer by training, Camping is good at math. Well so am I. I can prove mathematically that Michael Jordan is the antichrist.
Michael's number throughout most of his career was 23.
23 x 32 = 736
The Jews returned to the promised land after 70 years of captivity.
732 - 70 = 666
Solid proof right?
So the point of it all is this. Jesus said no man would know the day ror the hour, but everyone should live as if it would happen at any moment. Not by going off to a mountain top. Not by raining down curses and condemnation at the unsaved. Not by thinly veiled schadenfreude at the miscues of President Obama or disasters happened across the world.
No let's prepare for the end by doing the will of God. Heal wounds. House the homeless. Encourage the hopeless. Comfort the hurting. Feed the hungry. Preach the Good News. Love.
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
Each of us has something we can do to manifest the love of God on this earth. My thing may be different from yours but my motive should be the same. So in the days leading up to May 21, 2011 and the days beyond ...
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

stormwench wrote:My suggestion would be to wait for the release so that you can test, even if not add, the things coming with the SP, so you know you have your colors right and such. It would be upsetting to release now and find out that the colors did not work well together.
Also, worlds can have a lot if bumps in the roads, so to speak, so you probably could use the time for testing your roads and sidewalks and pathing, your empty lots for any glitches with putting houses or community lots in and such. You do want some at least empty default ones so people have lots to use when first starting the world and being asked to place special lots from other EPs. If empty commercial lots are not there people have to skip that and then remember which lots to place later.
It can be very frustration to get a world that there is not enough 'straight' pathing for placing lots, broken pathing so sims cannot walk or drive to where they need to go and so on. Also need to test for areas where sims - NPC's specifically - could get stuck like dead ends. Testing and quality control often takes twice as long as building does. Some of the best worlds I have used had little building done but a lot of testing and the greatest looking ones have had glitches because testing was not thorough enough. I know several great world builders that have had to make several versions of their worlds to get all the glitches out so its obvious to be easy to have problems no matter how experienced you are.

Mike Martin: Former Cincinnati Bengal and Taft High coach honors son Marcus with football camp
Teaching kids the same lessons he taught his son
CINCINNATI - A sudden death.
A family's grief.
And from it all, a way to honor the dead by serving the living.
It's the saga of Mike Martin and his family after his son's death.
Cincinnati has known Martin since he got drafted by the Bengals back in 983. He has been a player, a singer, a broadcaster, a successful high school coach and a club owner.
Mike has done it all. We know Mike. Now he wants to know his son, Marcus.
There's a time in life to be tough and Mike Martin made his living in a very tough sport. But sometimes being tough just doesn't cut it. Martin learned that two months ago when Marcus, 25, died from a blood clot.
"We pray a lot. We know he's in a better place. We never ask why," Martin told WCPO this week.
Martin admits he wonders. He stares at family pictures in his office:
A terrific wife and daughter and a son who was more like a brother.
"He thought I was the greatest. He thought his pop was up there with everybody," Martin said. "He wanted to make sure that folks heard my message."
It's the message that transformed Taft High School football back into a viable program.
Not just to play and win, but to live and understand.
Marcus was his dad's middle man.
"Whenever I would go off on one of the kids and they would get upset and start crying and going crazy – we had kids beating up bushes and all kinds of stuff – Marcus would reel them back in," Mike said.
"Even when he was playing, he would reel them back in and say, 'Hey, listen, man. All my dad wants you to do is be the best that you can be. He wants you to work hard and don't cheat yourself.' "
As high schools gear up for football season, Martin is holding a camp this weekend - in Marcus' honor - for the little kids.
To teach boys and girls to learn fundamentals.
It's how Marcus learned the game.
It's what bonded Mike and Marcus.
It's what Marcus would have wanted.
That camp is free for boys and girls ages 5 to 12 on Saturday at Taft's Stargel Stadium. Children can register starting at 8 a.m. Nobody will be turned away.

I have one XP computer on a Windows network which I want to isolate from the network shares of other machines on the network. I do not want this machine to be able to access other network shares on the network. How can I do this?
You need to remember that there are user accounts and machine accounts. Machine accounts are used pretty much just to join the machine to a domain. User accounts are used to log on to computers or domains. Managing access to shares is done via user accounts. Users log on to either local computers (i.e. Workgroup scenario) or to a Domain (i.e. a machine that acts as a domain controller supplies authentication credentials to all network users - runs either Windows server or Linux Samba). Simplest home use case is logging to each PC separately which is workgroup model. That happens even in the case if your PCs just start up and go to start button screen without any login - there still will be a user account on that machine which "auto-logs-on". (Explore users with
Case 1: Workgroups
Disable "simple file sharing" via
Case 2: Domains
Way more simple - all users log on to a domain - so all usernames are stored centrally. So you can restrict access to shares from the central server - just when you share, then you specify allowed users like this
Case 3? Firewall
You, I suppose, could use a software firewall on the sharing machine to specifically exclude traffic coming from the IP address of the machine you want to exclude. It would be enough to tell the firewall to drop tcp/udp traffic for ports 138 and 139 if requests come from that IP address. That would have to be some other firewall than the standard windows XP firewall though. Well, you could even use a firewall on the machine that you want to exclude - tell that machine to drop all packets from the sharing machine that come from ports 138 and 139. Another Chtulhu way ... may work, provided your users will not undo your changes ;).

When one defines "order" as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant yet most overlooked works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls "exotic charm". Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.

Chevy Spark EV gets tagged, bagged and priced
General Motors has detailed its upcoming 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV.
The vehicle will initially be available in California, Oregon, Canada, South Korea and other international markets, and looks to carry an approximate price tag of $25,000 after tax incentives, which may be a bit of sticker shock for some. Indeed, if you remove the federal tax incentive for EVs, it kicks the price up to just under $32,500.
The push of the Chevy Spark EV is part of GM's aggressive strategy to have 500,000 green cars on the roads by 2017. When the electric car goes on sale early next summer, it will mark the American automaker's first true electric car releases. The company's primary green vehicle of the moment is the Chevy Volt, which is more of a plug-in hybrid design.
What consumers buying into the Spark EV will get is "a technology-filled, all-electric mini car that goes from zero-to-60 mph in less than eight seconds," noted Mark Reuss, president, General Motors North America, in a statement.
It will have under the hood an oil-cooled, permanent magnet motor that produces at least 100 kW (130 hp) and instantaneous torque of about 400 lb.-ft. with the coaxial drive unit. This is mated to an over 20 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged up to 80 percent of battery capacity in approximately 20 minutes when one connects it to DC Fast Charging technology.
Inside the Spark EV, vehicle functions are displayed on one of the vehicle's two reconfigurable, high-resolution, seven-inch color LCD screens, including "a confidence gauge" that shows the expected driving range based on driving habits and other conditions.
As for what the driving range of this electric car will be, that's a bit of a mystery at the moment as GM didn't reveal that little detail, only saying it "is expected to have among the best EV battery range in its segment."
Those looking for a little extra technology to play with will be happy to take note of the Spark EV being equipped with Chevy's MyLink radio that comes standard and brings smartphone-based infotainment – including apps for BringGo full-function navigation, TuneIn global internet radio, Pandora and Stitcher – into the vehicle.
And, as an interesting added bonus, it will also play nice with Apple's Siri voice activated system for customers with compatible (4S and newer) iPhones.
