Police Nab Shamil Basayev's Former Driver

The Federal Security Service on Tuesday captured a high-profile rebel leader and police mole in the Chelyabinsk region, a day after 500 law enforcement officers conducted a raid against him and suspected terrorists in neighboring Bashkortostan.
That operation in Ufa was one of the largest raids against suspected militants in recent years, particularly in an urban center outside the North Caucasus, but it went largely unnoticed amid the media attention on the twin suicide bombings in the Moscow metro.
Bashir Pliyev, a 44-year-old ethnic Ingush, known among rebels as the emir of Bashkiria, escaped the initial operation but was detained by FSB officers on Tuesday, Interfax reported, citing local security officials.
Ingush authorities say Pliyev was close to reputed Chechen rebel leader Shamil Basayev, who was killed by federal troops in 2006. Authorities twice reported Pliyev killed, including after the September 2004 siege of School No. 1 in Beslan.
Authorities in the restive North Caucasus republic say Pliyev took part in a Basayev-led siege there in 2004, during which some 300 rebels briefly took control of Nazran, Ingushetia's largest city. At the time, Pliyev was working in the local police's internal security department, a post that he used to tip off rebels to sensitive information and even to drive Basayev in his police car.
Pliyev is also wanted in the southern republic of Bashkortostan, between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains, for organizing the March 23 armed robbery of a wholesale food store 250 kilometers from the capital, Ufa. Two workers who resisted the attack were seriously wounded, Interfax reported.
On Monday, Bashkir law enforcement officials detained eight members of the local Uigur Bulagaar Jamaat group controlled by Pliyev, which authorities accuse of terrorism.
A spokesman for the local Interior Ministry told The Moscow Times that the operation was mostly carried out by the federal security forces, although hundreds of local police officers played a supporting role.
"We even had an armored car up our sleeves, since we were dealing with extremely dangerous people," he said.
One of the suspected terrorists attempted to hide in a hospital and take staff hostage, but police managed to capture him after he barricaded himself in a room.
Rossiiskaya Gazeta said the suspected rebel captured at the hospital, Alexander Yashin, 27, was wounded. There were no other reports of casualties.
Maxim Rodionov, a spokesman for Bashkortostan's Interior Ministry, told reporters Monday that extremist literature, passports and explosives were discovered at apartments that belonged to members of the group.
As a result of the raids, "one of the persistent financing channels for terrorist activity was eliminated, and the kidnapping of the son of a major Russian businessman in the energy sector has been solved," the Bashkir branch of the FSB told Interfax, without elaborating.
In February, investigators said they captured in Ingushetia a suspect in the 2009 kidnapping of Rosneft vice president Mikhail Stavsky's son, who was later released.
Albert Miftakhov, an independent political analyst in Bashkortostan, told The Moscow Times that the operation was a success for local Interior Ministry officials.
The ministry's head, Igor Alyoshin, was appointed by President Dmitry Medvedev in December 2008 and has begun to act independently of Bashkortostan Republic President Murtaza Rakhimov, Miftakhov said.
The presence of radical Islamic groups in Bashkortostan, a largely secular Muslim republic, went unnoticed by local officials for a long time, even though many of them had strong ties to rebels in the North Caucasus, he said.
"The ruling authorities saw many of the anti-Russian groups as friends. What goes around, comes around," Miftakhov said.

Shailene Woodley and Ellen Page are at the center of some new Hollywood gossip this weekend. There are reports out that connect the two young women in a romantic relationship. Ellen Page came out as lesbian in March, and Woodley spoke out about her thoughts on sexuality in an interview released that same month. She didn't openly admit her bi-sexuality, but she made it clear that when it comes to love she is open to dating someone she had feelings for. Their sex does not matter. The Spread It shared more about these reports on July 4.
Ellen and Shailene are not new acquaintances. The two young women have known each other for years, and they have been spotted out together several times in recent months. They have been photographed on the red carpet, and they have been caught by the paparazzi as they left a restaurant after eating lunch together. Both times, the photographs didn't reveal much. The reports of the pair dating come from OK! Magazine, and the report doesn't reveal much about the relationship. In fact, Ellen and Shailene have not admitted that they are an item themselves.
The report from OK! Magazine used a source that revealed that Ellen leaned on Shailene after she came out back in March. This is what lead to the rumored relationship between the two women. Ellen came out in a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's Time To THRIVE conference in Las Vegas that month. During her speech, she said the following:
"I'm here today because I am gay. And because… maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."
Page is 27 years old, and she had her film career start in 2005. "Juno" launched her career. Her last appearance on the big screen was as Kitty Pryde in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." She also recently starred with Alexander Skarsgard in "The East." That actor commended her decision to come out, and he called her an inspiration, according to the Sunday Express. Back in 2013, reports connected Skarsgard and Page as a couple as well. It is clear those reports were false.
These reports about Ellen and Shailene might also be false. OK! Magazine has very little in the way of real evidence that the two women are really dating. Shailene is making a big name for herself right now. "Divergent" and "The Fault in our Stars" have done really well at the box office. The 22-year-old actress is at the start of her career.
In the press, Woodley has been connected to her "Divergent" co-star Theo James. Reports have them dating now for some time. Fans also pushed for a relationship between Woodley and her "The Fault in our Stars" co-star. However, Ansel Elgort is already in a relationship. Woodley has not admitted that she is dating anyone. Ellen Page has though. She spoke about dating someone in a recent interview, according to Fashion & Style. She did not name the person though, and she was photographed with a blonde women in recent months.
Are Ellen Page and Shailene Woodley dating? There is no way to know for sure. The two young women would have to confirm the relationship themselves. It is clear that the OK! Magazine report has the women being talked about this weekend though. What do you think? Are these two hot young Hollywood stars the latest item?

What 'old' FPS titles have you been playing, if any, lately?
The First PC game I played was Unreal. It came out in 1998 and it was quite simply amazing in so many ways. The story and immersion, the multiplayer, BOT matches, amazing graphics! ... it had everything you could possibly want in a game. It had more then than many games have now.
I've stated using Steam again recently and decided to buy Unreal Gold from the online store. Unreal Gold was a pack that included the original Unreal and the expansion pack that was released the following year, Return to Na Pali!
I never got to play the expansion pack 'back in the day' and have just put a couple of hours into it and I have to say I'm very impressed! Yes the graphics are outdated but the immersion is certainly still there. And... there's even still multiplayer servers going with many still playing!
TOG public forum | FPS - Everything Unreal
For the sake of this thread, let's say an 'old' game is four or more years past it's release date. So who's been playing what? Singleplayer, multiplayer or both.
There's more to good gaming than new releases!

hahaha!!!! Love this...
Battlefield 2!!!
Actually, it's still coming up on it's 4th birthday - so I'll leave it out for the time being.
Battlefield 1942, and it's winning mod, Desert Combat. Combining air land and sea attacks, this game (and mod) are just winners. There's been very little come close to matching the brilliance and scale of this once genre defining title. To be able to walk up to any vehicle in the game (and oh how many vehicles to choose from!) and to get in and fly, drive or sail it anywhere on the map is still simply unmatched today. BF2 and Frontlines: Fuel of War both fell short of acheiving this openness and accessability, despite bringing other elements to the genre.
Desert Combat was, and still is for me, simply the very best example of modern warfare on a theatre scale. It's a truely tiered system of war - bombers, jets, helicopters, tanks, mobile artillery, jeeps, foot soldiers of all roles, battleships, aircraft carriers, detroyers and even submarines! And the flexibility to jump into any role at any time. Unparrelleled.
Has dated quite badly in the graphics area - but it's still played on a few busy servers every night, and still gets the blood pumping easily! A truly great mod, of a great game.

The other day a mate and I played a game that we played countless hours on as kids. It is called BodyCount. We laughed our way through it.
Just amazing how far games have come really. Seemed like there were only 10 colours in the game. lol

I know the feeling mate - look at Wolfenstein to Crysis and then think it's actually not been all that long between them when you put it all into perspective. However, in computer land, it's ten or so generations... amazing!
However - Desert Combat is simply bloody brilliant - still an active TOG division for it, and still one or two busy local servers for it too. The sheer scale of the mod is whats most impressive - the number of different vehicles that all handle so very differently - BF2 still wouldn't have been released if they put that many objects in-game

It seems like i've been playing counter strike for many years and keep coming back to it after trying other single player games and a couple other fps. Lately i reloaded Battlefield 1942 and that got me going out to buy 2142 which i recon is awsome. As Spectre8 says the Desert combat mod was and is still a lot of fun

I just can't get tired of the original Ghost Recon, plus its various mods (does anybody know/remember the BOOM! maps? I loved them!). And then there's Operation Flashpoint...
Those two games = for the win!

Father and Son,
Like a bullet to a gun
Born to blood,
In the scars of love
Cheating the cold grave with power and rage
Caught in a shadow of the crows
Those black dressed figures in a row
One mans pain
Anothers gain
The circle grows
Secrets and lies,
The sharks in crime,
Brought to the edge
But always crossing the line
Faces in doorways
Beckon you in
One way in,
No way out
Closer to danger
Away from the crowds
So silent and still
He goes for the kill

"Teen Mom" dad Adam Lind gavehis girlfriend Taylor Halbur a diamond ring for Valentine's Day, but are the couple engaged? Taylor posted a photo of the ring on Instagram saying it was a Valentine's gift, but hasn't confirmed what type of ring it is, Wet Paint reported on Feb. 15.
Halbur and Adam Lind, who is the father of "Teen Mom" Chelsea Houska's daughter Aubree, have been together for over a year and have a baby daughter, Paislee.
Currently, Taylor's pregnancy is being featured on season 5 of "Teen Mom 2." Meanwhile, fans are watching Chelsea Houska have a hard time dealing with the fact that Adam's having another child.
So, how will Chelsea react if Adam Lind did pop the question to Taylor Halbur? It seems Taylor's getting everything Chelsea used to want. However, Houska says she's no longer attracted to Adam, and she's been busy with school, work, and being a mom to Aubree.
"Teen Mom" fans know that Adam gave Chelsea a promise ring a couple of years ago, so it seems this diamond sparkler for Taylor could be a promise ring as well. So far, Taylor's not talking.
What are your thoughts on "Teen Mom" dad Adam Lind possibly getting engaged?

What is Sjorgens
The illness is named after a physician Sjogren and is named Sjogren's Syndrome. Sjogren's Syndrome or SS is an "autoimmune exocrinopathy" or condition where the tear producing lacrimal glands in the eye and saliva producing glands in the mouth are damaged and sometimes destroyed by the bodies own white blood cells, Most patients complain of dry eyes often with the foreign body or sandy or gritty sensation and dry mouth, Blood tests taht may be abnormal include ANA, anti-Ro also known as Sjogren Syndrome or SSA and anti-La or SSB. Treatment can include artificial tears and saliva. There are 2 prescription medications to increase saliva production, evoxac and salagen. Patients with SS can have arthritis and this can be treated with hydroxychloroquine or plaquenil, Rarely, patients with primary SS develop lung, kiney or brain problems and medication such as steroids or cytotoxics may be required. Finally SS can appear in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma and dermaopolymyositis and then is referred to as Secondary Sjogren's Syndrome.
Sjorgens' syndrome is an autoimmune disease, which means that it causes the body's defence system to attack parts of the body's own tissue. Most of the damage done by Sjorgens' syndrome is to the glands which produce saliva and tears; it sometimes also affects production of stomach acid, making eating difficult. This condition is also classified as a connective tissue disease because it causes damage to the body's connective tissue, such as the padding on the soles of the feet. In some cases, Sjorgens' syndrome can cause swelling and soreness in joints.

Space Shuttle:
Status of NASA's Efforts to Address Workforce Issues Related to the Space Shuttle's Retirement
GAO-05-718T: Published: May 18, 2005. Publicly Released: May 18, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3600
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) space shuttle program is key to implementing the President's vision for space exploration, which calls for completing the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of the decade. Currently, the space shuttle, which is to be retired after ISS assembly is completed, is the only launch system capable of transporting ISS components. To meet the goals of the President's vision and satisfy ISS's international partners, NASA is examining alternative launch vehicles and ISS configurations. Retiring the space shuttle and, in the larger context, implementing the President's vision, will require NASA to rely on its most important asset--its workforce. Because maintaining a skilled workforce through retirement will be challenging, GAO was asked to discuss the actions NASA has taken to sustain a skilled space shuttle workforce and the challenges it faces in doing so--findings reported on in March 2005 (see GAO, Space Shuttle: Actions Needed to Better Position NASA to Sustain Its Workforce through Retirement, GAO-05-230).
While NASA recognizes the importance of sustaining a critically skilled workforce to support space shuttle operations, it has made limited progress toward developing a detailed long-term strategy to do so. At the time of our March 2005 review, the Space Shuttle Program had identified lessons learned from the retirement of comparable programs, and United Space Alliance--NASA's prime contractor for space shuttle operations--had begun to prepare for the impact of the space shuttle's retirement on its workforce. However, timely action to address workforce issues is critical given their potential impact on NASA-wide goals. Significant delays in implementing a strategy to sustain the space shuttle workforce would likely lead to larger problems, such as overstretched funding and failure to meet NASA program schedules. NASA and United Space Alliance acknowledge that sustaining their workforces will be difficult, particularly if a career path beyond the space shuttle's retirement is not apparent. Fiscal challenges facing the federal government also make it unclear whether funding for retention tools, such as bonuses, will be available. Our March 2005 report identified several factors that have hampered the Space Shuttle Program's workforce planning efforts. For example, the program's near-term focus on returning the space shuttle safely to flight has delayed other efforts that will help the program determine its workforce requirements, such as assessing hardware and facility needs. Program officials also noted that due to uncertainties in implementing the President's vision for space exploration, requirements on which to base workforce planning efforts have yet to be defined. Despite these factors, our work on strategic workforce planning has shown that even when faced with uncertainty, successful organizations take steps, such as scenario planning, to better position themselves to meet future workforce requirements. Since we issued our report and made our recommendation, NASA has publicly recognized, at its Integrated Space Operations Summit, that human capital management and critical skills retention will be a major challenge for the agency as it progresses toward retirement of the space shuttle.

String Manipulations In C Programming Using Library Functions
Strings are often needed to be manipulated by programmer according to the need of a problem. All string manipulation can be done manually by the programmer but, this makes programming complex and large. To solve this, the C supports a large number of string handling functions.
There are numerous functions defined in
"string.h" header file. Few commonly used string handling functions are discussed below:
|Work of Function
|Calculates the length of string
|Copies a string to another string
|Concatenates(joins) two strings
|Compares two string
|Converts string to lowercase
|Converts string to uppercase
Strings handling functions are defined under
"string.h" header file, i.e, you have to include the code below to run string handling functions.
#include <string.h>
gets() and puts()
Functions gets() and puts() are two string functions to take string input from user and display string respectively as mentioned in previous chapter.
int main(){
char name[30];
printf("Enter name: ");
gets(name); //Function to read string from user.
printf("Name: ");
puts(name); //Function to display string.
return 0;
Though, gets() and
puts() function handle string, both these functions are defined in
"stdio.h" header file.

Not done buying yet, I see myself with 5 or 10 more before I'm ready to take to the rocking chair for good.
If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes.
I feel so inadequate with only 8.
Before I privately sold them all to law enforcement officers who wanted them for Homeland Security purposes in enforcing the Patriot Act off duty because they were too dangerous for a mere civilian to own, I might have possibly owned something like 7 target shooting handguns, 1 duck hunting shotgun, and 4 deer hunting rifles for sporting purposes.
But that was years ago before I went to the state education center and got re-educated by the nice men in the white coats.
I got rid of mine, because I found out that guns kill. I never did figure out where they were hiding all of the bodies.

I know that this thread has degenerated to a joke, BUT . . .
My chief asks all LTC (MA "permission slip" to own/use guns) applicants (new or renewal) for exactly how many handguns, rifles, and shotguns s/he owns. And if you are foolish enough to answer this, he inputs it to the PD computer. His excuse is that if they get called to robbery and face off a bad guy, he wants to know if the perp puts down one gun, might he have another one! Such BS . . . and I told him so . . . I said if you ever respond to my house, just consider them "armed and dangerous"!
A few of us have refused to tell him, so he meekly asked if "a few of each" was OK to put down. I said sure.
BTW, since ALL transfers (private or dealer) must be recorded with the state, the PD has access to all such info from 1986 onward (for dealer transfers and 1998 for private) that they can pull up on the PD computer from the state.
My suggestion (in all seriousness) is to tell NO ONE how many of what you own, or exactly what you do own! Let it be a surprise to your heirs!

The latest food technology news creating a buzz amongst food enthusiasts is about Chef Andoni Aduriz of Mugaritz, Spain and his partnership with a UK based computing scientist to develop an application that will allow diners to smell food on their mobile devices. An app named Scentee is to be used with an add on device to allow diners to virtually prepare a recipe and then savor the aroma with the help of the app.
Aduriz is an internationally acclaimed chef, his restaurant ranks #3 on the Restaurant Magazine's World's 50 Best restaurants list, who introduced sprays to mimic food flavors at Madrid Fusion in 2012 and this year created a sensation with this moderately priced application for mobile devices to be launched in the market. This add on device, Scentee for iPhones and Android, will allow diners to virtually prepare a recipe and then savor the aroma with the help of the app. The techie device is moderately priced at $35 with the cartridges for the Smell-O-Vision are projected to be sold for $5 each.
What will the average diner or layperson infer from this bit of food technology? Can we safely comprehend that if we cannot travel to Mugaritz in Spain or any other destination restaurant, we will no longer need an obscene amount of money to afford a meal there since we can now simply experience it by a whiff on your smart phone and save a bundle. This digital olfaction might eventually replace the action of putting food in your mouth or chewing and digesting it.
What will the business repercussions be if this came into use all over the world? Will it be enough to satisfy a craving or substitute an actual meal at a glorified restaurant, or be the best choice for some one watching their caloric intake and not ready for a 20+ course meal? Will we now transform into armchair diners watching reality food shows on TV and smelling our mobile devices? The mind boggles at this concept but who knows ten years from now we will be judging a dish by its smell before deciding where to eat say an Osso Buco, a Chicken Tikka Masala, a mole, ramen, or a flavorful pho if they have not morphed into unrecognizable forms by then. Maybe it can feed the hungry in the world by them just inhaling the flavor of food to satisfy their hunger pangs. We will no longer anticipate a journey to a so called temple of cuisine since now with the instant release of pictures of plates on social media, we will be able to savor simultaneously the flavors as well. That's 'virtual food' for thought.

First ...
Time for a little perspective here. Amid all of the teeth-gnashing and consternation, the New Orleans Saints can match the fifth best start in club history with a win Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Saints' have twice won their first seven games - in 1991 and 2009. They won six of their first seven games in 1988 and 2002.
If they win Sunday - and they are heavily favored to do so - they'll match one of the eighth best starts in club history. They also started 5-2 in 1992, 1993 and 2006.
Granted, the Saints are a couple of Drew Brees' fourth-quarter comebacks away from being 2-4. But they're also a couple of fourth-and-goal plays away from being 6-0.
The key is the Saints are 4-2 and have not come close to putting it all together.
"I don't think there's a coach or player on our team right now that considers us to be in turmoil," assistant head coach Joe Vitt said this week.
Indeed, the Saints are a win away from one of their best starts in a long time. And with winless St. Louis on deck, 6-2 is a strong possibility.
And 10
1. Numbers game: Darren Sproles is one of the few players to wear the same jersey number - No. 43 - throughout his pro, college and prep career. He's had it from Olathe North High School to Kansas State University to San Diego to New Orleans. Joique Bell actually had jersey No. 43 last season but he switched to No. 20 after Randall Gay was released. The jersey has been primarily by defensive backs over the years, including Tyrone Legette (1992-95), Ashley Ambrose (1999), Keyuo Craver (2002-2003), Mike McKenzie (2004) and Kevin Kaesviharn (2007-2008). The last Saints running back to wear No. 43 was the inimitable Larry Collins in 1980.
2. Tweets of the week: "Looking forward to getting back in the Dome this week with our home fans. We missed you guys! Feels like we have been on the road forever." - Drew Brees (@DrewBrees), 6:59 a.m., Tuesday.
3. Quote of the week: "You set your jaw, and you keep your eye on the target, and you move on. So, hey, this is very, very unfortunate what's happened to Sean. And I know there's a lot of people in the league saying, 'Boy, the poor Saints and yeah, yeah, yeah.' No. There are 31 other teams out there that are glad that he got hurt, and he was in the hospital, missing practice, because they don't want us to be successful. That's just the truth. So, we need to move on and keep our eye on the target and keep our preparation meticulous and win a football game." - Assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt on the effect of Sean Payton's injury and absence to the team this week.
4. Didya notice?: The Saints wore black jerseys last week and lost. That snapped a 10-game winning streak in their black jerseys/gold pants combination, according to Saints jersey-color beat man Bradley Handwerger of WWLTV.com.
5. Fact of the week: By passing for 383 yards against Tampa Bay last week, Drew Brees ended the Bucs' streak of 36 games not allowing an opposing player to reach the 350-yard mark, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. That had been the longest current streak in the NFL, a distinction now inherited by the Bengals (32).
6. Encouraging stat of the week: Punter Thomas Morstead's net average of 44.7 yards leads the NFL and his gross average of 49.6 is on pace to shatter the Saints' record of 45.8 set by Mark Royals in 1997.
7. Disturbing stat of the week: After allowing two touchdown passes to Josh Freeman last week, the Saints have now surrendered 12 this season. That's one fewer than they allowed all of last season.
8. What I liked from Week 6: Patrick Robinson continues to blossom at cornerback. He made a handful of nice plays, including some strong open-field tackles on screen plays. Robinson is playing with more confidence each week. If he continues to progress, he could unseat Tracy Porter as the starting left corner.
9. What I didn't like from Week 6: The tackling. It was about as poor as I've seen it in the Gregg Williams' era. And it wasn't just one man. The secondary and linebacker corps, in particular, struggled to bring down ball carriers in open space. Consequently, Earnest Graham looked like Jim Brown as he rambled for 109 yards, his best day since 2008. I expect the tackling to be much sharper this week against the Colts, and it will need to be. The Colts' stable of perimeter players is more talented than Tampa Bay's.
10. Fearless prediction for Week 7: Emboldened by accurately predicting Jimmy Graham's historic 100-yard game last week, I'm ready to go out a real limb and shock the world. I'm predicting a 100-yard game by a Saints running back. I realize this is akin to predicting the Mobile Bay Jubilee but something tells me the Saints are going to try to ground and pound against the Colts this week. This year's top rushing performance was a 75-yard effort by Darren Sproles against the Jaguars. In case you're wondering, Chris Ivory had the last 100-yard game by a Saints back, rushing for 117 yards against the Bengals in Week 13 of last season.

Yesterday afternoon's Old First Concerts recital at Old First Church featured two young performers from the Bay Area currently continuing their studies in New York. They were twenty-year-old cellist Nathan Chan, now in the exchange program between Columbia University and the Juilliard School and winner of the 2013 Julliard Cello Competition, and eighteen-year-old Audrey Vardanega. During her debut performance with the Midsummer Mozart Festival in 2010, fourteen-year old Vardanega (the youngest soloist in the history of the Festival) performed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's K. 467 piano concerto in C major during the first half of the program and then, in the second half, joined the rearranged string section when concertmaster Robin Hansen left her chair to perform the K. 218 violin concerto in D major. (The program book for that concert called Vardanega a "triple threat" because she is also a composer.) Vardanega is also at Columbia while studying piano with Seymour Lipkin at Juilliard.
Yesterday's program was particularly impressive because, along with two duo compositions, it provided solo opportunities for both Chan and Vardanega. Indeed, each half of the program began with a solo followed by a duo. The major work, however, was saved for the last, Johannes Brahms' Opus 99 cello sonata in F major.
Opus 99 was composed in 1886. Brahms was at the height of his maturity, and the following year he would compose his groundbreaking Opus 102 double concerto in A minor for violin and cello. Nevertheless, there is an almost youthful exuberance to the rhetoric of Opus 99 for which Chan and Vardanega could not have been better suited. Each of the four movements (even the Adagio affettuoso second) takes its own characteristic approach to unleashing intense energy. Furthermore, this is very much music for cello and piano, rather than cello accompanied by piano. (Brahms felt too strongly about the piano for it to be otherwise.) Thus, it provided the opportunity to listen to Chan and Vardanega as equals; and both of them seemed perfectly comfortable with this arrangement.
The result was all that one could hope for from a Brahms performance. The technique was rock-solid from beginning to end. Nevertheless, there was never any shortchanging of Brahms' capacity for expressiveness and for his channeling that expressiveness through four distinctively different rhetorical settings. Most of all, however, this was a vivid in-the-moment experience of Brahms, a dazzling reminder that the proper place for music is in concert settings rather than any audio equipment, no matter how high the technical quality.
The duo performance for the first half of the program also involved a similar "encounter of equals." This was Ludwig van Beethoven's WoO 46 in E-flat major, a set of seven variations on the duet "Bei Männern weiche Liebe fühlen" from the first act of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's K. 620 opera The Magic Flute. Beethoven composed these variations in 1801, by which time he was already well established in the Viennese musical community. It is therefore a bit hard to imagine why he never took the trouble to publish the music, since it is an impressive piece of work. By using Mozart's duet for Pamina and Papageno as a point of departure, he structured both the theme and the variations to develop his own rethinking of the nature of duet.
Thus, in yesterday afternoon's performance one could appreciate the equal terms of cello and piano in Beethoven as much as one could in the Brahms performance. Indeed, in some respects, the interplay of the parts was even a bit more imaginative in the Beethoven than in the Brahms. Nevertheless, on the basis of what remains a highly memorable account of these variations by cellist Steven Isserlis and fortepianist Robert Levin, I would say that one element was missing in the account by Chan and Vardanega; and that was the element of wit. Perhaps as they become more familiar with the music, Chan and Vardanega will allow themselves to relax a bit and appreciate the opportunities for fun that it offers.
Vardanega took her solo after the intermission. This was Frédéric Chopin's Opus 61 in A-flat major, which he called "Polonaise-fantasie." She chose to offer a few remarks about the dual nature of the composition, approaching it as a confrontation, so to speak, between the formal nature of the polonaise and the less structured approach to fantasia. Personally, I think that the distinction has more to do with rhythm than with form: The rhythm of the polonaise is always clearly and sharply defined; but it is then "interrupted" by the freer improvisational rhythms of the fantasia. Indeed, the entire composition may have been born of an exercise in improvisation based on those rhythmic distinctions. Vardanega seemed to appreciate those improvisational "roots," bringing a clarity to her execution that has sadly been muddled by too many other pianists.
Chan began the program with Johann Sebastian Bach's BWV 1009 solo cello suite in C major. In many ways this music is also an exercise in the contrasts between well-defined rhythmic patterns (the dance movements) and freer approach to rhythm in the prelude. However, it is also a pedagogical exercise through which the pupil acquires not only technical proficiency but also the ability "to have good inventions [ideas]," a phrase that Bach included on the title page for what we now call his two-part and three-part inventions.
From this point of view, Chan still seems to be at the technical proficiency stage, even if he has mastered it impressively well. By passing on most of the repeats for the dance movements, he also passed on opportunities to use a second statement as a chance to explore different approaches to performance. Similarly, the prelude felt less like an exploratory improvisation and more like a major technical challenge that had been admirably conquered. It was clear from his Brahms performance that Chan appreciates how much more there is to music than the notes marked on paper, but his appreciation still needs to extend into his Bach repertoire.
The performance concluded with a single encore. This was the "swan" cello solo ("Le cygne") from Camille Saint-Saëns' The Carnival of the Animals. This is very much the warhorse of the cello repertoire, and Chan gave it a sincerely moving account. Vardanega kept the shimmering piano accompaniment quietly in the background, creating just the proper hushed environment in which the cello's "swan song" could have its full impact.

At the age of 29 Jessica Rich has already accomplished more than most could hope to in a lifetime. Currently working as an actress and TV personality, Jessica (who is the niece of singer, Patti LaBelle) has always pursued her passion of helping people look like stars without spending a car note on an outfit with her "Style It Rich" segments online. But while clothing changes with the seasons, the right piece of jewelry will never go out of style.
In an exclusive interview with The Examiner Jessica talks about her new jewelry line, The Jessica Rich Collection, what inspired the switch from clothing to jewelry and how she plans on taking her brand to the next level.
Going back, talk about how you got into show business and what advice did you get that encouraged you to pursue your dreams?
Dad always said never go back on your dreams even though it may be hard, cause if you do a job that you don't like, it's not going to be worth living, so no matter how hard it gets if you're doing something you love it'll be worth it. And Patti, told me don't listen to the bad things people say about you cause it will break you down. Ignore it because know who you are.
Before your jewelry line, you had a clothing line. What made you decide to switch?
I started my clothing line last year and it kinda got a little expensive, making a line and getting samples made, it was a lot more than I thought it would be so after I found out the production cost I decided I wanted something more simple that can change with an everyday outfit. It's a lot easier for a woman to change jewelry than to change clothes, because clothes change based on the season but jewelry works regardless of the climate and that was my epiphany. And me being a style expert based on budgeting I like my stuff to be very inexpensive yet look very nice. I don't have anything that costs more than $80.
Your line has already had quite a bit of success but what is your ultimate vision?
I want to be the African-American version of Rachel Zoe. Simply put, She's a style icon. She has her own show and her own line and it's a terrific platform, so something like that is where I see myself. I'd love to build an empire like Jessica Simpson. Even beyond just fashion, I want to help people decorate their homes on a budget.
And how did the name 'Style it Rich' come about?
I got teased a lot in high school, people thought I was rich. I came from a single mom with two jobs and I'd be like, "I'm not rich." This is just stuff from Kmart. I just present it well. So fast forward, when I got out to LA and began pursuing a hosting career my hosting teacher Marki Costello said I have to have a brand, so I call it 'Style It Rich,' cause I style myself to where people think I'm rich but I'm not spending a thousand dollars on my clothing. So I do an online show and I blog about it to help people be at the top of their game regardless of their budget. I mainly focus on guys cause that's my passion, I love dressing men and showing what ladies like in them. Anybody can look good and my goal is to help people realize that, because with style comes confidence.

This site endeavours to provide information on caring for pet chinchillas with pages on feeding chinchillas, their general care, equipment and cages. The general care and feeding of your pet chinchilla is very important. The health page covers the more common problems and there is a helpful page on hand feeding if your chinchilla is sick. Keeping and looking after a chinchilla is a long term committment.
There are also photographs and videos of chinchillas, along with a page on the different sounds and noises that a chinchilla can make.
I have also included details and photos of the more common colours of chinchillas
This site is for owners of pet chinchillas and not a breeder's site.
However, I have included some very basic information on breeding with photographs of kits.
Along with information about the care, health and feeding of your pet chinchilla, there are pictures, videos and fun things to see and do such as jigsaws, games, wallpapers, puzzles and lots more.
There is always a competition running, so why not enter and try and win one of the chinchilla prizes.
Adopt one of the Virtual Chinchillas or make your own chinchilla or pet calendar
Read about the famous chinchilla Professor Chewit who discovered the Chincha Cave and the Treasure Map, which led him to find the long lost Chincha Gold.
Download a Desktop Chinchilla These cute chinnies will stay on your desktop for a long as you want.
You can drag them, clone them and some will even make chinchilla noises when you click on them.
The Cheeky Chinchillas Challenge has helped to raise funds for Chinchilla Rescue
For those of you who are not familiar with chinchillas, they are members of the rodent familyand originate from the rocky mountain range of the Andes
in South America. Discovered by Spanish explorers in the 1500's, they were named after the Chincha Indians, who through necessity to keep
themselves warm and have food to eat, used them as a source of food and made clothing with their fur.
Later introduced to Europe, their soft luxurious fur became very popular and was sought after so much, it nearly caused their extinction, as literally
millions of chinchillas were killed for their pelts. It is very distressing to know that it takes well over a 100 chinchillas just to make one coat!
Today, hunting the wild chinchilla is banned and they are protected by the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Animals.
Mr M.F. Chapman, is responsible for the domestication of the chinchilla. He worked as a a mining engineer in Chile. In 1923, after finally getting
permission from the Chilean Government, he transported 11 chinchillas to California. They bred successfully and were originally sold to fur ranches
and then later sold as pets. It is more than likely that most of our pet chinchillas today are descended from Mr Chapman's original eleven.
I hope you will enjoy your visit and call again soon to see what is new.

The Chinese government has continued to take an antagonistic posture towards His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his supporters. Phayul.com reported on April 13, 2014, China has denied a visa for a Thai activist supporter of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Sulak Sivaraksa, a prominent Thai activist and social worker, has been denied a visa to visit his ancestral home in China by the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok.
Sivaraksa was apparently denied a visa to visit China because of his association with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader His Holinesss the Dalai Lama. Sivaraksa has said it is clear the Chinese government feels uncomfortable with his support for the Dalai Lama but that he always insists on standing by righteousness. Sivaraksa was planning to visit the homeland of his ancestors in Taechiew in eastern Guangdong province
in China.
Sivaraksa and the Dalai Lama met in 2008 when he led a 17-member delegation from Thailand on a visit to
Dharamshala in India. He expressed his support for the Dalai Lama in public saying that he offers perhaps the one voice leading the world. Sivaraksa feels when you fear 'a man of love' such as the Dalai Lama than clearly there is something wrong with you.
Sivaraksa is a veteran social campaigner, Buddhist activist and writer reports the International Network of Engaged Buddhists. The Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has called him one of the most influential thinkers in all of Asia. The refusal of a visa for Sivaraksa to visit China makes it perfectly clear that
the situation between Beijing and the supporters of His Holiness the Dalai Lama remains as tense as ever.

Opening/Closing for everyone
To close the sidebar for everyone in your room, just roll over the minimizer button. A tooltip will popup then click "Close for all users." To open, do the same thing: roll over it, then click "Open for all users."
How do participants change their display name as shown in the Userlist?
Any participant can change their display name using via the Userlist Options Menu in the Userlist. Simply click on the icon that looks like wrench and select "Change my screen name":
Do users in my Vyew Room always have to see what I see, or can they go to a different page?
Owners and persons granted "Moderator" status can let persons navigate pages at their own pace, if desired, via the Page Sync/Un-sync options next to the Page Navigation:
Owners and Moderators can also just un-sync themselves. For example, a Moderator might want to jump ahead to edit a page prior to discussion during a live conference.
NOTE: Vyew Rooms are set to Un-sync Mode by default. During live conferences, the Owner or Moderator needs to toggle to Sync Mode to make all persons see what they see. When the live conference concludes, and the Owner and all Moderators have left the session, the Vyew Room will default back to Un-sync Mode automatically. To change the default to Sync Mode, select "Default this Vyew Room to Sync Mode" via the Sync Toggle.
Vyew Rooms can also be set to Sync Mode by default via the Room settings found under the Book Menu:
How do I see what specific persons have added to my Vyew Rooms?
Use the Filter by User tool to view objects, including white-board annotations and embedded comments, added by specific persons over time. The Filter by User tool is found in the Userlist:
Simply click on a person's name to see just what that person has contributed, filtering out all other person's input.
User Roles/Permissions
You can assign different people different types of access. Some may edit, while others can only view:
- Moderator – like an Owner, they have access to everything except the Room Settings
- Collaborator – can draw, edit, delete their own content, and change Sync Mode. They can't delete pages, change other's content or change other's permissions.
- Reviewer – like a Collaborator, except they can't import any media, such as images or documents, into a room.
- Viewer – can't edit or change anything.
- With Sync Mode ON, they are locked onto the currently sync'd page, and cannot navigate.
- With Sync Mode OFF, they can navigate pages as they wish.
Why can viewers navigate when Sync Mode is OFF?
- When giving a presentation, Sync is usually ON so that everyone will follow you from page to page.
- When using Vyew for document review or collaboration, when you may or may not be present, Sync is usually OFF to allow collaborators to browse as they need.
Assigning Roles to New Invitees
For most invitations, assign invitee's permission levels in the invite wizard. See Inviting and Sharing Rooms.
Changing Roles of Current Attendees
In the UserList pod near the upper right of Vyew, click on their username, Change user type to:, then on the desired level.
Different user roles have different interfaces
The lower the permission status of a user, the simpler their interface will be, since certain functions will not be available.
For example, a Collaborator has access to the drawing tools, Insert button, Page Manager and Screen Share tab,

In April, 1992 the Russian Zvezda institute sold to China a single Sokol space suit for $50,000 cash. This single example was torn down, reverse engineered, and became the suit for the Chinese Shenzhou program. The suits cost $15,000 apiece to produce in China.
There is no regulation of temperature and pressure, and no environmental control system. The helmet is integral to the one-piece suit. In case of depressurization of the spacecraft, external emergency tanks supply oxygen at a rate of 21 liters per minute. Suit pressure is kept at 39kpa for three hours, and then 28kpa for three hours. The suit was worn for the entire one-day mission on Shenzhou 5, the first Chinese manned spaceflight. For Shenzhou 6, the crew removed the suits and donned blue coveralls after entering orbit.
Gross mass: 15 kg (32 lb).

According to a new study, vitamin supplements marketed for infants and children often contain more than the recommended amount of individual vitamins, according to a new study. Lack of vitamins can be detrimental to one's health; however, excess amounts can also be harmful. The study was published online on January 27 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics by researchers at LECOM School of Pharmacy (Erie, Pennsylvania) and Provider Resources Inc. (Erie, Pennsylvania).
For the study, the researchers accessed data from the Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), which was created in July 2013 by the Office of Dietary Supplements in collaboration with the National Library of Medicine. The DSLD was recently created to facilitate the scientific study of dietary supplement labels; it allows researchers to evaluate dietary supplement labels for research purposes. The amount of vitamins an individual requires on a daily basis is known as the recommended daily allowance (RDA). The RDA is determined by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which provides independent advice to US policymakers.
The investigators reviewed the labels of 21 supplements marketed for use among infants younger than 12 months of age; they also reviewed labels of 172 supplements marketed for use among children between the ages of 12 months and four years. They evaluated nine individual vitamins in supplements marketed for infants and 14 vitamins in supplements marketed for older children. The investigators found that only Vitamin D fell within the recommended RDA for vitamins in both groups. All the other vitamin's exceeded the RDA. The average amount of Vitamin C contained in the supplements intended for children younger than 12 months met the RDA requirements; however, in supplements intended for older children, the Vitamin C levels were approximately five times the recommended amount. Vitamin C is necessary for normal growth and development. It has the following functions: it forms an important protein used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels; it aids wound healing and scar formation; and maintains healthy cartilage, bones, and teeth. Excess Vitamin C can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Although Vitamin C prevents scurvy, excess vitamin C can also cause scurvy. Scurvy is characterized by fatigue, widespread connective tissue weakness, and capillary (small blood vessel) fragility.
Biotin is a vitamin that helps convert food into energy. It supports the health of the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. The investigators found that the average amount of biotin in children's supplements was between five and nine times the RDA. Even at high levels, biotin appears to be fairly safe. It is currently unclear what dosage of biotin might start to pose a health risk.
They study authors caution that the vitamin levels in supplements should not exceed the IOM's RDA recommendations. The IOM notes that data is inadequate regarding about potential side effects from excessive vitamin levels among children in those age groups evaluated in the study and it is preferable for children to obtain their vitamins from food.
Take home message:
For children, dosage of medication, including vitamins, is determined by the child's weight. If you give your child vitamin supplements, check with your pediatrician or family physician regarding the correct dosage. If your child has a healthy diet, consisting of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, vitamin supplements may not be necessary.

Telus HTC Desire HD Android 2.3 Gingerbread update now rolling out
It's a happy day if you own an HTC Desire HD, are in Canada, and your carrier of choice is Telus. And you got that Desire HD of yours from Telus. If all of the above describes you, then you should know that your beloved Android-powered smartphone is finally receiving an update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, after months and months of waiting.
The update will reach your phone over-the-air, and the handset will notify you when it's available. It's a 99.68 MB affair, so if your mobile data plan is capped, you should probably make sure you're downloading it via Wi-Fi.
If you have rooted your Desire HD and/or are running custom ROMs on it, the update notification probably won't make it to your device. Then again, if you are using a custom ROM, it's probably been based on Gingerbread for quite a while now (since unlocked and unbranded HTC Desire HD smartphones have been getting the update for more than a month).
This update will not bring the Sense 3.0 (a.k.a. Sense 3D) UI, as seen on the HTC Sensation, to the Desire HD. It will however make your smartphone run the latest version of Android, and that should be good enough for most.

So you are thinking about a new bike, group set or set of wheels?
While most retailers want you to buy NOW, we want to get to know you and find out what you actually need. Everyone's journey is different and we think its best started with a delicious (and highly addictive) beverage. After a chat, you'll have a clear understanding of everything involved and we go from there.
The correct fit is the key to enjoyable cycling. By getting a proper fit you optimise comfort, performance, positioning and reduce the risk of injury. Cyfac developed the CPS (Cyfac Positioning System) which is the culmination of 10 years of lab studies and has been applied to more than 10,000 cyclists including Thor Hushovd, Thomas Vockler, Sylvain Chavenel and more.
Cyfac ('See-fac') started hand-crafting frames in 1982 as a frame-builder to cyclings elite. Nearly 3 decades on, they continue to build low-volume, high quality frames using the latest materials then hand-paint every frame in-house for a unique frame everytime.
It is rare to find a brand that has stuck to its morals to expertly craft products by hand using methods perfected over decades yet continues to evolve and improve. From 1982 beneath the sponsorship and paint, the first frames were custom-made to spec for cycling professionals and up until 2004, 1/3 of the European professional peloton were supplied frames by Cyfac. Cyfac has a rich heritage with victories in famous races such as the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, La Vuelta a Espana, World Championships, Paris-Roubaix… the list goes on.
If you value quality, attention-to-detail and understand the benefits of a well-fitted frame, then a Cyfac frame is for you.

|Expander families and variation of Galois representations
|Algebra and Number Theory Seminar
|Chris Hall, University of Wyoming
|Given a pair of curves U,V over the complex numbers, one can associate to a finite unramified map V-->U a finite Cayley-Schreier graph. In this talk we consider families of maps V_i-->U indexed by a parameter i such that the family of associated graphs is an expander family. As we will explain, the expander hypothesis has remarkable geometric implications, e.g. the set of V_i such that the gonality of V_i is less than your favorite positive number N is finite. We will also explain some of the arithmetic implications, e.g. for all but finitely many V_i, there are only many points on V_i defined over some extension of K of degree at most N. As one an application, we can derive results on the variation of Galois representations in a one-parameter family of abelian varieties defined over a number field.
