Spring: Flowers LbNA # 46541

Find the intersection of 116 and Mariner Way in East Peoria. Turn onto Mariner Way toward Burklund, then immediately turn left on the access road. You will find Bennetts Terraqueous Gardens on your right; park on the side of the road.
These terraqueous gardens are also known as a seep, where groundwater seeps out and saturates the area, creating a wetland. Many native plants can be found here, including swamp thistle, bottlebrush sedge, spotted Joe-Pye weed, swamp goldenrod, marsh marigold, and skunk cabbage.
It is because of skunk cabbage that we chose this spot for our Spring: Flowers box. Skunk cabbage is usually found in wetlands and is one of the first plants to flower in the spring, often when snow is still on the ground. This is due to its remarkable ability to generate heat; it is capable of raising the temperature of its immediate vicinity by 15-35° Celsius. In early spring, the rather mottled purple, leaf-like flowers can be seen poking out of little melted spots in the middle of a blanket of snow. Later in the spring, more attractive flowers also abound at this spot.
Enter the garden via the rocky path and go left toward the observation deck. Go up into the shelter and look out over the seep. The red color of the water and soil is due to the high amount of iron found in the groundwater. You may notice an oily-looking film on the waters surface in the summer; this is not due to pollution or contamination. The substance is actually a natural byproduct of the oxidation of iron by bacteria found in the water. They convert dissolved iron in the water into insoluble iron, and thus are responsible for the red color of the area.
After viewing the gardens, turn around and look over the back railing of the shelter. The box is located underneath the right side of the large rock, nestled inside the rotted wooden beam.
Please bring your own ink.

Arsenal cement Group B lead with 'sloppy' win over Greeks
Olympiakos put up a good fight at the Emirates, but Arsenal did enough to go three points clear at the top of Group B
Arsenal 3 Olympiakos 1. It wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests, but Arsenal maintained their winning start to the Champions League with a 3-1 defeat of Olympiakos. The Gunners were made to work for their three points against a dogged Greek side, but with Schalke drawing 2-2 with Montpellier in Group B's other game of the night, it means Arsenal are three points clear at the top of the table.
"This is a results industry and we got the result," said Steve Bould, again deputising for Arsene Wenger, who was serving the second of a three game touchline ban by Uefa. "We ground it out. I don't think they had too many chances, we limited them to a few and we could have perhaps scored a few more. So without being fantastic, we've had a great result."
There was a subdued atmosphere at the Emirates from the start, the heavy rain not helping, and a noticeable number of empty seats suggested Arsenal fans had better things to do with their Wednesday evening than watch their boys take on the Greek champions.
Though Arsenal dominated possession in the first 30 minutes it was the visitors who had the best chance of the opening period, Paulo Machado blazing over from point blank range after good work by Giannis Maniatis down the right flank.
Five minutes later Arsenal punished the Greeks for their poor finishing when Gervinho's low shot beat Balazs Megyeri in the Olympiakos goal. It was the Ivorian's fifth goal of the season and further proof that he's come of age in an Arsenal shirt.
Not that Gervinho had much time to bask in his triumph. The visitors struck back almost immediately – and right on the stroke of half-time – as Leandro Greco's swinging cross was headed home by Kostas Mitroglou.
With Wenger watching from the stand it was left to Steve Bould to deliver the half-time rocket and whatever he said worked. Arsenal emerged for the second half looking sharper, keener and altogether more dangerous.
Ten minutes after the restart they had their reward when Gervinho's mazy run down the left resulted in Lukas Podolski firing home a shot that beat Megyeri for pace.
The Gunners had more chances to kill off their guests in the final quarter but it wasn't until the last minute of stoppage time that Aaron Ramsey ran on to a neat flick on from Olivier Giroud, and coolly chipped the ball over the keeper and into the net. Harsh on the Greeks, perhaps, but Arsenal won't care about that.
Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen admitted later that they had been "sloppy" in the first half, but said it was the half-time team talk that turned it around. "Steve Bould was not angry," explained Vermaelen. "He said what was wrong and he said that we needed to be more cautious with the ball and not to lose it."
Arsenal's next opponents in Group B are Schalke, who visit the Emirates on 24 October, and Bould warned that his side must guard against complacency. "There is an awful long way to go," he said.
"The [Schalke] game is two weeks away… we'll address that when it comes but it'll be tough."

Labour MP signs PGA letter to Nigerian President
13 June 2014
Labour MP signs PGA letter to Nigerian President
President of Parliamentarians for Global Action Ross Robertson, has signed a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, President of the Republic of Nigeria, on behalf of Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA), expressing the organisation's heartfelt sympathies with the Nigerian people following the kidnapping of over 200 girls from a school in Chibok in April.
Mr Robertson says that the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) had already stated in its 2013 report that there is a reasonable basis to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed in Nigeria by Boko Haram, and this has been reaffirmed in the statement of the ICC Prosecutor on the abduction of the schoolgirls.
"Because the Rome Statute has not yet been implemented into Nigeria's domestic legal order, the Republic of Nigeria cannot domestically prosecute the leaders of Boko Haram for crimes against humanity, which they are allegedly committing," said Ross Robertson.
"We are therefore encouraging President Goodluck Jonathan to take all necessary action to ensure that the legal, judicial and prosecutorial system of the Republic of Nigeria will be able to indict the leaders or Boko Haram and other persons allegedly responsible for these and other atrocities falling under the umbrella of crimes against humanity.
"We in PGA associate ourselves with the global campaign promoting the prompt and immediate liberation of the girls, and welcome the international cooperation that neighbouring countries and foreign powers have offered to Nigeria.
"It is vital that the human rights of Nigeria's civilian population are protected, regardless of their religious beliefs and cultural orientation. There can be no justification for these heinous crimes," said Ross Robertson.

WPDH radio (101.5/106.1 FM in Poughkeepsie) officially started its new "Boris & Robyn Show" from 6 to 10 a.m. Wednesday, marking a new era in morning programming two weeks after the death of host Mark Cooper.
"I did a morning show on WRRV for 17 years and wasn't planning to start again anytime soon, but after losing Coop, it's been difficult for everyone around here," said Andrew Boris, who is also WPDH's program director and host of an afternoon show.
Boris and co-host Robyn Taylor took over the morning slot when Cooper went on hiatus in July; they continued after Cooper's death at age 49 on Aug. 14.
"Listeners have been really enthusiastic," Boris said. "I've known Robyn for 20 years, and this is the first time I'm actually working directly with her. I forgot how much fun this was."
Listeners can expect the same slightly sarcastic edge that Boris is known for, but will have opportunities to fire back on Facebook, Twitter and phone lines throughout the show.
Boris also plans an increased number of celebrity guests, from rock stars to film actors.
"And of course, they'll get the best in classic rock," Boris said.

Taste of the Wild cat food is a brand of dry and wet cat food that is manufactured by the same company that makes Diamond Pet Food. They are based in Meta, Missouri, and have three processing plants: one in the aforementioned Missouri, another in California and the last one in South Carolina.
Taste of the Wild Cat Food Reviews
Taste of the Wild cat food prides itself on healthy ingredients. It is grain-free. That means there is not a load of corn-based filler in the food like there is with many other cat foods. Some manufacturers use fillers so they don't have to use as much meat, but Taste of the Wild cat food definitely does not do that.
The cat food has sweet potatoes added, which helps to make it digestible. It is high in protein and somewhat high in fat, so if your cat is overweight you will need to measure out his food. Of course, cats need protein and fat in their diet, so you never want to buy cat food that does not have those two ingredients. The protein and fat will give your cat a glossy and luxurious coat, and the sweet potatoes and other ingredients will give him energy to burn. Taste of the Wild cat food is an excellent all-around cat food for active cats. In fact, it is the favorite of many breeders and also used by those who show their cats.
One of the few disadvantages of Taste of the Wild cat food is its cost. While it is not the highest on the list when it comes to cat food price, it is more expensive than many of the brands you might see in the grocery store. Of course, the cost is because they include real salmon and venison in the food, both of which are favorites with thousands of our four-legged friends.
Types of Taste of the Wild
For dry food, Taste of the Wild comes in the following:
- Canyon River Feline Formula, which has trout, smoked salmon, antioxidants, taurine and omega fatty acids
- Rocky Mountain Feline Formula, which has the same as Canyon River except it is flavored with real venison and smoked salmon
For wet food, Taste of the Wild comes with salmon, chicken liver and venison, plus fruits and vegetables.
Online Taste of the Wild Cat Food Coupons
As we mentioned above, Taste of the Wild cat food is more expensive than many other brands. But there are several ways to help you save money and get the premium cat food at the same time. Printable Taste of the Wild Cat Food coupons are the most straightforward way for you. Another way to buy cheap Taste of the Wild cat food is online. It is also the most convenient way. When you shop online, you should be able to find Taste of the Wild cat food sales and discounts. And you may get free shipping for Taste of the Wild cat food sometimes.

PCC Hires Well Known Financial Analyst. Hiring what PCC says is a top, well known Dallas firm to conclude everything is OK is totally consistent with the way management operates. Hire a consultant who agrees with you.Who needs a Wall Street analyst at $400 an hour who will tell you the way it is when you can hire a Walnut Street Analyst in Dallas for $8.75 an hour who will say whatever you want them to say.
What the deuce are you ranting about? Are you referring to Houlihan Lokey? Is so, yes they do have offices in Dallas.And offices in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Los Angeles (HQ), as well as overseas London, Frankfort, Paris, Tokyo, China, India... In fact it is the largest private investment bank in the world.Your statements are false. Anyone reading them should beware.
Be patient and thou shall see. The report was written shortly after the check cleared and the outcome was defined, or visa versa. It will be released when the timing suits management. It's title is probably going to be something like---A Strategic Path, subtitled....This Is What Management Wants.In other words, pick and pay the analyst who tells you what you want to hear.Don't you get it ? Only a cave man chooses an analyst whose outcome report is tuly objective.ORMaybe you just don't understand how it works,but remember that all "strategic paths" lead to management grabbing the lions share of the results if they are good and walking away free and clear if they are bad.So, if you believe in fairy tales, good luck.

Install Sun Ray Server software in Oracle Enterprise Linux
By Jaap on May 28, 2010
In this article I continue my installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux from an earlier blog post. The below instructions are based on an internal Wiki article written by a Sun colleague (thanks for the pre-work).
Prepare Oracle Enterprise Linux for Sun Ray Server software
I'm now ready to install the Sun Ray Sever software. After you logged in for the first time as the root user in your just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux server, you have to prepare the system for Sun Ray Server software installation: add additional packages and change some Linux configuration files.
In Oracle Enterprise Linux yum is used to install additional packages. Reconfigure yum to run from the DVD repository. This is done by adding the following contents to a new file (Note that the mediaid comes from the file /media/Enterprise Linux dvd 20090908/.discinfo):
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/dvd.repo [dvd] mediaid=1252451316.580231 name=DVD for RHEL5 baseurl=file:///media/Enterprise%20Linux%20dvd%2020090908/Server enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
Oracle also hosts a yum-server for Oracle Enterprise Linux, this also should work but I have not tested this.
You are now ready to install additional packages or groups of packages. The package list and versions which must be installed prior to Sun Ray Server installation are:
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools" # yum install glib-1.2.10 # yum install dhcp-3.0.5 # yum install openldap-clients-2.3.43 # yum install libXp-1.0.0 # yum install openmotif22-2.2.3
# vi /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 192.168.100.39 host19.sunvdi.local host19
This finished the preparation on Oracle Enterprise Linux, we are now ready to install Sun Ray Server software.
Install Sun Ray Software
For download instructions for the Sun Ray Server software I refer to the Sun Ray Wiki website. After downloading the the Sun Ray Server software for Linux zip-files in my staging directory I start the installation:
# cd /stage/sunray # unzip srss_4.2_linux.zip
Check Java version
Sun Ray Server software 4.2 requires a 32-bit implementation of a Java(TM) 2 Platform, Standard Edition JRE(TM) of at least 1.6. The latest Java release is available at http://java.sun.com/j2se. To check what JRE version is installed on your system, use the following command:
# java -version
JRE version 1.6 is also bundled on the Sun Ray Server software zip-file in the Supplemental directory. For my test installation I used the provided JRE in the Supplemental Directory:
# cd /stage/sunray/srss_4.2/Supplemental/Java_Runtime_Environment/Linux/ # sh ./jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin <enter yes when prompted> # mv jre1.6.0_13 /opt
Install Tomcat
The Sun Ray Administration Tool (Admin GUI) requires that a Web server be installed and running on each Sun Ray server. The Admin GUI is hosted in a Apache Tomcat 5.5 Web container. For my test installation I used the provided Apache Tomcat in the Supplemental Directory:
# cd /stage/sunray/srss_4.2/Supplemental/Apache_Tomcat/ # gunzip apache-tomcat-5.5.20.tar.gz # gtar xvf apache-tomcat-5.5.20.tar # mv apache-tomcat-5.5.20 /opt # ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.20 /opt/apache-tomcat
Install Sun Ray Server software
Installing Sun Ray Server software is nothing more then an install CLI-command and a reboot of the server:
# cd /stage/sunray/srss_4.2 # ./utinstall - read and accept the license - answer Y or N when prompted for French, Japanese, Chinese Admin GUI. - enter Java v1.6 (or later) location: /opt/jre1.6.0_13 - continue installation with the selected packages # reboot
Before you reboot make sure you have unmounted the OEL installation DVD, it might be used as the primary boot device during the reboot.
Configure Sun Ray Server softwareSun Ray Server software installed, time to configure the software. This is done by a CLI-command and works straight-forward. Most of the defaults are OK, but here is what I used for my test server:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utconfig - Continue ([y]/n)? Y - Enter Sun Ray admin password: - Configure Sun Ray Web Administration? ([y]/n)? - Enter Apache Tomcat installation directory [/opt/apache-tomcat]: - Enter HTTP port number [1660]: - Enable secure connections? ([y]/n)? - Enter HTTPS port number [1661]: - Enter Tomcat process username [utwww]: - Be sure to enable "remote administration" (non-default) Enable remote server administration? (y/[n])? y - Be sure to configure "Kiosk Mode" (non default) Configure Sun Ray Kiosk Mode? (y/[n])? y - Enter user prefix [utku]: - Enter group [utkiosk]: - Enter userID range start [150000]: - Enter number of users [25]: - Configure this server for a failover group? (y/[n])? It lists a summary and if you happy with it choose yes to continue the configuration. - Continue ([y]/n)? y
Configuration of Sun Ray Server Software has completed.
Turn on Sun Ray Server services
Sun Ray Server has multiple network configuration options to start the services. I used the easy one which turns on the services on all ethernet-interfaces on the server and does not configure DHCP services:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -L on # /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c
At this time, you are ready to connect a Sun Ray to this server.
Linux Firewall
If you did forget to turn off the Linux Firewall during installation, you can do that afterwards via the following CLI commands as the root user:
# service iptables save # service iptables stop # chkconfig iptables off
If the Firewall keeps running on the server, the Sun Ray device will not connect to the servers and you will see a 26B OSD message on your Sun Ray device.
Install Sun Ray Windows Connector on OEL
Installation of the RDP connector is straightforward. I only had one minor issue with a missing library-filename on OEL during the installation, when I found the other version of that library it worked without problems. Here is what I used on my test system:
# cd /stage/sunray # groupadd srwc # unzip srwc_2.2_linux.zip # cd srwc_2.2 # ./installer Accept (Y/N): Enter "srwc" as group name # /opt/SUNWuttsc/sbin/uttscadm -c Enter complete location for libcrypto.so.0.9.7 [/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a] : /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8e # /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c
OK, that's it !!

Dallas ISD plans task force to address achievement gap for black students
Dallas ISD will form a task force to focus on closing the achievement gap for black students, who have fallen behind academically more than any other group.
Black students lost ground in the latest STAAR results in social studies, science, reading and writing.
DISD trustee Lew Blackburn, who has been vocal with concerns with the achievement gap, will lead the task force. The group will review progress made under the district's African-American Success Initiative, which focuses on closing the achievement gap, and will look for ways to improve its outcomes.
"It is incumbent upon all of us, not just trustees and the administration, to work together to best prepare these young men and women for the future," Blackburn said in a district news release. "I look forward to exploring ways to improve academic achievement for our African-American students."
The creation of a task force to focus on black student achievement is significant. District officials have shied away from focusing on the gap for black students, and instead have said the focus is on improving achievement for students in "every ethnicity."
Even at Thursday's board briefing on black student achievement, Superintendent Mike Miles pointed out that there's also a gap for Hispanic students. That's true, but Hispanic students in DISD outperform black students in every subject at every grade level – and the gap for Hispanic students has not widened at the pace that it has for black kids.
Blackburn reiterated concerns with the achievement gap at Thursday's briefing.
"Quite often we hear that the African-American students are rising," he said. "It is not going up as much as everyone else."
Blackburn continued, "I've said it two years in a row, we need to do something for the least of ours. Right now the least of ours is African-American students, in particular African-American male students."

The ninja endures excruciating physical strain to succeed at difficult tasks. Standing out online means not calling yourself the exact same thing as tens of thousands of other people. So "social media ninjas" suck at both parts of their own name.
If you want to call yourself a ninja you should still be able to wind-sprint 50 kilometers and leap into a pit filled with fine ash to disappear in a puff of smoke. I don't care if they ever really did that. You don't care about what they were really like either, otherwise you wouldn't name yourself after an eminently disposable murderer who worked himself to death for no other reason than he'd been told to. Besides, a true social media ninja would be someone no-one else could see, except a very few people who really didn't want to, and so would suck at their job.
There are also an appaling number of "social media mavens." A maven is a "self-proclaimed expert," which should be the perfect social media match because self-proclamation is all it's for. Except people don't say maven. And when you're using words which nobody ever says, but there are still thousands of other people using that exact word to describe themselves, you suck at social media. Because you call it "social media" instead of "talking." From now on when someone buzzwords instead of communicating we can say That's So Maven.
They're all side effects of how we turned talking to people into a job, then hired people who couldn't do anything else to do it. If you absolutely must describe yourself as a "social media noun', you have my sympathy. And my suggestions for better names:
Social media golem: a thoughtless lump created with specific instructions by someone else. Most corporate accounts on every social service.
Social media vampire: an account which must survive by stealing social media life from others, with replies and trending topics and manual retweets instead of fangs. Considerably less sexual. Yes, even less sexual than the Twilight vampires. And they look like someone bleached a Ken doll because it had too much convincing human magnetism.
Social media megavillain: someone presenting themselves as an absolute authority on a subject, often backed by a gigantic corporation, but whose mistakes are routinely pointed out by teenagers.
Social media mamluk: One who rises to strength and prominence by slavishly following/loving/hating someone else.
Social media viking: accounts that barge into other conversations just because they contain one thing the Viking wants. Usually a mention of a brand. Vikings barging into polite conversation for the sake of trademarks is somehow even more tragic than burning monks for gold.
Social media self-flusher: someone who screams about unfollowing you because you pissed them off, unaware that they're improving your life in the process.
Social media quality control officer: the worst thing is this isn't even a joke for some poor @$$#()!%. Hey, buddy, I know you need the money, but if you leave and look around you can probably get a proper job with a hammer somewhere. Because if you've ever worked in social media, the idea of smashing things with a hammer all day sounds pretty good.
Social media knights: charging forward weighed down by the antiquated weight of obsolete customs based on feudal superiority. Only to be shredded by people with more modern technology. As seen in all racist/sexist celebrity tweets.
Social media spartans: anyone who gets naked online but vastly overestimates how tough and awesome they actually were.
Social media sphincter: This one's physiologically accurate. A corporate intern with a list of pre-approved responses which they're employed to release at a predetermined frequency. It's bad enough that some idiots will take such $#!+ for no pay, but now they're using computers to give it to the rest of the world.

Pakistan constitutes commission to probe Osama bin Laden killing
June 1, 2011
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan government today formed a commission to probe the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a covert US raid in the garrison city of Abbottabad and to determine the nature and causes of lapses associated with the incident. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani constituted the five-member commission headed by Supreme Court Justice Javed Iqbal to investigate the "Abbottabad incident", said a statement from the premier's office.
Osama bin Laden dead: US should not have violated Pakistan sovereignty, says Gilani
May 8, 2011
ISLAMABAD: Facing all round attack over the US secret operation that killed Osama bin Laden , Pakistan has fired a salvo at Washington saying it should not have taken a shortcut and bypassed Islamabad, violating the country's sovereignty. Islamabad has also made it clear that it will take "some time" for biletaral ties between the US and Pakistan to normalise. The Pakistan establishment has come under stinging criticism in the wake of the unilateral US action as also for its claim that it had no knowledge of the al Qaeda chief's presence in Abbotabad.
Pakistan should decide on issue of conducting joint operations: US
May 9, 2011
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will have to decide on the issue of conducting a joint operation with the US against Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders like Mullah Omar and Ayman al-Zawahiri if they are found in the country, American Ambassador Cameron Munter said today. The future of Pakistan-US relations is closely linked to Islamabad's replies to questions that have been raised by al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's presence in Pakistan, Munter indicated in an interview to Geo News channel.
Osama bin Laden dead: Pakistan will have to disclose more about Osama
May 3, 2011
Robert Kaplan, Senior Fellow Center for a New American Security, Washington Finally, Osama bin Laden is dead. Yet, the world's most-wanted man was not killed in the rugged terrains of Pak-Afghan border, but right under the nose of the Pakistan Army establishment, in a safe house 800 metres away from the Pakistan Military Academy in the garrison city of Abbottabad. I think that though it is too early to forecast what it means for United States' ties with its long-term ally Pakistan — whether it will lead to a huge change in relations or not — the fact that bin Laden was hunted down and killed in Pakistan will certainly lead to tensions between us and them.
Osama dead: Killing of Osama in Pakistan will not help Indian cause, says security experts
May 3, 2011
NEW DELHI: Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden may have been killed near a Pakistani military establishment in Abbottabad but it will not be of major help to India which is pursuing extradition of masterminds of several terror attacks, including the 26/11 Mumbai strikes, say security experts. "I don't think there will be any impact on India. We can only clap from sidelines," A S Dulat, former chief of Indian External Intelligence agency RAW, said. Agreeing with him another former Special Secretary of RAW Rana Banerjee said on a TV channel that India may be able just to score "some brownie points" vis-a-vis Pakistan with Laden's killing in that country.
Dossier on Osama Bin Laden needs an open debate
July 11, 2013
By Omar R Quraishi The leaked 337-page report of a four-member commission that was formed by the government of Pakistan in 2011 to investigate the US raid to get Osama bin Laden has created quite a stir in Pakistan, and one would assume, elsewhere as well. First of all, there seems to have been a blunder: the report was released not by the government but by a foreign TV channel, Al Jazeera English. The commission had said in the report that its findings, after being submitted to the prime minister's office, should be made public in English as well as Urdu, and that this was "in the national interest".
Osama bin Laden dead: US closes its consulates in Peshawar and Lahore
May 4, 2011
ISLAMABAD: US today closed its consulates in the Pakistani cities of Peshawar and Lahore to the general public until further notice, a day after American special forces killed Al-qaida chief Osama bin Laden in a daring raid near the garrison city of Abbottabad . The US Embassy in Islamabad and the consulate in the southern port city of Karachi, which too were closed to the public earlier in the day, had been reopened,...
Osama bil Laden dead: Osama's killing inside Pakistan major embarrassment for army
May 2, 2011
ISLAMABAD/NEW YORK: In a major embarrassment for Pakistan's powerful army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani , al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was killed just yards from a military compound that he visited last month where he had famously claimed that his forces had broken the "terrorist backbone". "The terrorist backbone has been broken and Inshaallah we will soon prevail," Kayani said in his address at a passing out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy at Kakul on April 23 in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
Osama death: Contractor who built Osama's house taken into custody
May 4, 2011
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani authorities today arrested the contractor who allegedly built the million dollar complex where al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was shot dead during a raid by US special forces in Abbottabad. Gul Muhammad, who was also known as Gul Madah or Mithu Khan, was picked up from his residence near Bilal Town neighbourhood, near the garrison city of Abbottabad, where bin Laden's compound is located, TV news channels reported. Muhammad, aged between 45 and 50 years, was detained by security forces at 2 am, the reports said.
Talks with militants within constitutional parameters: Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani
October 12, 2013
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani military fully backs the government's move to hold peace talks with banned militant groups but these parleys must be held within constitutional parameters, army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said today. There is an opinion that the government was forced to go in for talks with militants because of the failure of military operations but this is far from the truth, he said. Kayani, set to retire next month after leading the army for six years, further stressed the need for strengthening democracy while addressing a passing-out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy in Abbottabad . The 61-year-old army chief described terrorism as a "big challenge" that goes against both Pakistan's ideology and Islamic teachings.

Project shows benefits of applying sex and gender analysis in research
From Stanford University News:
Since Schiebinger launched the Gendered Innovations project in the summer of 2009, the project has produced 14 case studies to demonstrate how applying sex and gender analysis to research studies has helped create new knowledge and technologies.
The project was initiated with start-up funding from Stanford's Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research. Schiebinger, a former director of the Clayman Institute, is the editor of the 2008 book, Gendered Innovations in Science and Engineering.
All the project's peer-reviewed case studies can be found on its website, including:
- Stem Cells: Analyzing Sex
- Animal Research: Designing Health and Biomedical Research
- De-Gendering the Knee: Overemphasizing Sex Differences as a Problem
- Heart Disease in Women: Formulating Research Questions
- Pregnant Crash Test Dummies: Rethinking Standards and Reference Models
- Water: Participatory Research and Design
"The website is a resource for researchers," Schiebinger said. "It's globally accessible and freely available to anyone with an Internet connection.
An international cast of contributors
The Gendered Innovations project was developed through six international workshops. In 2011, the European Union joined the project, followed by the U.S. National Science Foundation in 2012.
"The project was created through a unique international collaboration of scientists, engineers and gender experts," Schiebinger said.

Arsene Wenger's side have not lifted silverware since winning the 2005 FA Cup, and that competition appears their last genuine chance to secure a trophy this term.
The Gunners were dumped out of the Capital One Cup by Bradford, lie a distant sixth in Barclays Premier League, and face a daunting Champions League last-16 clash with Bayern Munich next month.
They must come through a third-round replay with Swansea to book an FA Cup fourth-round trip to Brighton, after being held to a 2-2 draw in south Wales on Sunday, but Wilshere and his team-mates are desperate to finally taste success.
"We all want a trophy," said the 21-year-old. "As players, when you finish your careers you look back and see how many trophies you have won, so we all want trophies, and the fans want trophies as well.
"We are hungry for trophies and if we get a trophy this year, then maybe it can open the way for a few more.
"We have got a good group of young players here and experienced players as well.
"So, if we get a trophy this year or in the next couple of years, we can really build something over the next few years.
"Obviously it is easy to sit here and say that when we get one trophy it will happen, but we need to get that first trophy. We know how tough the FA Cup is this year and we are still in the Champions League as well.
"So we are in a good position, we just need to make sure we get the results now."

To the Editor.—
In a small, personal series of postoperative patients, certain observations have been made that suggest an additional therapeutic use for edrophonium chloride (Tensilon). Edrophonium belongs to a family of anticholinesterase agents, producing effects equivalent to continuous stimulation of cholinergic nerves, ie, continuous vagotonia.It is noted for rapid onset and brief duration of action. The principal use has been as a provocative drug for the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis or for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.1While observing the intravenous administration of 10 mg of edrophonium chloride for a tachyarrhythmia in a patient postoperatively with protracted severe adynamic ileus, I was struck by the prompt onset of borborygmi and strong peristaltic sounds. Flatus and stool were produced. The bowel had been nearly silent for several days prior to the injection.The drug has since been used in 12 cases of postoperative ileus in doses ranging from 2.5 mg to

NEW WINDSOR — Interviews of candidates to replace Michael Oates as president and CEO of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. are to begin next week.
Oates announced last week he was resigning Feb. 4 to become CEO of Hudson River Ventures, a small-business investment firm. The announcement gave potential candidates only until Wednesday to send resumes to Oates, but he said on Wednesday that HVEDC earlier used social media as well as its business contacts to spread word of the opening.
The interviewers will be Oates, Steven Lant, chairman of HVEDC and CEO of Central Hudson, and James O'Donnell, executive director of the Orange County Industrial Development Agency.
The IDA oversees Orange County's Business Accelerator, which it hired HVEDC to manage. O'Donnell, who's also deputy county executive, said he expected interviews to continue through the end of the month.
Oates' departure from HVEDC comes less than four months after it began managing the accelerator, an incubator for small businesses. Oates was appointed managing director by the IDA with a $72,000 annual contract through Dec. 31.
IDA Chairman Robert Armistead said Wednesday that O'Donnell will oversee the accelerator until Oates is replaced.

San Francisco Opera's stylishly creepy new production of Offenbach's "Les Contes d'Hoffmann" ("The Tales of Hoffmann") is a tale of multiple sopranos. There's much excellent singing here, though one member of the cast leaves an indelible memory mark: Hye Jung Lee, who sings the role of the flying mechanical doll named Olympia.
In her gleaming silver gown, she moves like a herky-jerky robot and, yes, she flies up, down and all around -- and straight out over the orchestra pit at War Memorial Opera House. All the while at Wednesday's opening performance, she sang her leaping coloratura passages with rare precision, rich tone and off-the-charts high notes. Let's just say there seemed to be no discernible top to her range; she just kept going one note higher in this strange and demanding role in this famous and exotic French psychodrama, which might as well have a subscript from Lionel Richie.
Once, twice, three times a lady.
"The Tales of Hoffmann" -- based on the play of the same name by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré -- fictionalizes the triplex love life of German romantic poet E.T.A. Hoffmann, a role handled here by tenor Matthew Polenzani, who sings with fervor, a lusty controlled vibrato and admirable stamina through five acts.
A dissolute artist in a downward spiral, Hoffmann recounts his three great love affairs: with Olympia, a sort of female (and oh so beautiful) Frankenstein's monster, created by a scientist named Spalanzani, who must crank the windup key on his mechanical "daughter" to make her sing; with Antonia (Natalie Dessay), a soprano who sings herself to death as the result of a rare malady inherited from her mother; and Giulietta (Irene Roberts), a courtesan who robs Hoffmann of his mirror reflection and is accidentally killed by the enraged and confused poet.
It's like pre-Freudian sci-fi with a Gothic twist, as Hoffmann's love life becomes a hall of mirrors: The three women reflect three aspects of the same idealized woman -- whose name is Stella and who appears in the final act.
Laurent Pelly directs this coproduction with Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu and L'Opéra National de Lyon and he mostly keeps it cooking. That's an achievement, because -- with a few exceptions, including that weird love scene in Spalanzani's laboratory, where Hoffmann dons magic eyeglasses and becomes convinced that flying Olympia is an actual human being -- the opera often is purely psychological and somewhat static.
But this is a cast of first-rate actors, and the orchestra, conducted by Patrick Fournillier, was crisp and popping -- vivid sound from the opening moments -- as was the chorus. Always there was tension: Offenbach's sumptuous scoring and songfulness belies the deep-brewing sense of solitary doom in Hoffmann's tale. That mood is enhanced by Chantal Thomas's sets: great bare walls of muted color, shadowy and angled, fading toward the horizon, like a de Chirico painting. (The actual inspiration here is Belgian symbolist painter Léon Spillaert.)
Some of Offenbach's most aching music goes to Antonia: Dessay, the French soprano and the cast's biggest star, sang with ethereal tenderness in her soft passages, but came up short of charismatic, not fully warming to the role (and perhaps not fully warmed up). As Giulietta, mezzo-soprano Roberts dazzled in her company debut; what a plush, opulent voice she has.
As Hoffmann's Muse (disguised as his friend Nicklausse to accompany the poet through his ordeals), mezzo-soprano Angela Brower, also making her debut, was exceptional; her voice was silky, rounded, refined. As Hoffmann's nemesis -- a devil character, transforming four times, including as the murderous Dr. Miracle -- bass-baritone Christian Van Horn threw back his head to shout "ha ha ha" just a few too many times. But his voice could peel paint.
Offenbach died in 1880, leaving "The Tales of Hoffmann" unfinished. Composer Ernest Guiraud polished it up in time for its 1881 premiere, and there have been debates ever since over what constitutes the best, truest or "final" version of the opera. This production tosses out most of Guiraud's recitatives, replacing them with spoken dialogue, and -- so we are told -- bringing it close to Offenbach's dramatic intentions. But in the end, whatever the version, what we have here is the story of an artist brought to his knees by life, by love.

We screened 2786 patients from 5 northern California hospitals between May 1998 and October 2000. Of these, 70% (1951 patients) were excluded for 1 of the following reasons: 1) clinically significant comorbid condition complicating the interpretation of symptoms of heart failure during nurses' periodic telephone contacts, 2) psychosocial disorders limiting patients' participation in treatment, or 3) logistic limitations precluding patients' participation in a telephone-mediated intervention. The Appendix Table contains further details on study exclusions. Among the 835 medically eligible patients, 55% (462 patients) were randomly assigned to either usual care or nurse-based case management. Thus, we randomly assigned 16.6% of screened patients: 228 patients to the treatment group and 234 patients to the usual care group (Figure 1).
*Four patients declined to participate and 4 dropped out for medical reasons. †Eight patients declined to participate and 7 dropped out for medical reasons.

Contrary to popular belief, the random controlled trial (RCT) is not bias free and the paper by DeBusk et al. highlights a potential threat to validity, the "Hawthorne effect," that is not recognized by the authors. The medical staff at the five Kaiser hospitals was informed of the study protocol. Considering that Kaiser is a "closed system" of care, we do not know if those physicians behaved differently as a result of being aware that they would be indirectly scrutinized for the care they provide One assessment that could provide insight as to whether this was an issue would be to indicate the CHF population-wide change in ACE-I and beta- blocker usage in addition to just the experimental and control groups. As it stands now, the reader is left to wonder if the Hawthorne effect in the reference group negated the potential positive effects of disease management (DM) services in the intervention group.
Secondly, and potentially more importantly, telephonic-based DM is intended to guide participants toward improving control of their condition by bringing the individual and their physician in line with evidence-based practice guidelines. If in fact most individuals already adhered to self- management behaviors -- as seems evident here -- there is little gain to be expected from a DM program.
For these two reasons, the "external validity" and generalizability of this study is unknown. Thus, the conclusion drawn by the authors that the benefits of disease management may not valuable to low-risk patients elsewhere is overreaching. An equally valid conclusion, with stronger "internal validity" would be: "A telephonic-based disease management strategy does not appear to work in tightly-controlled, well-managed, low risk CHF patient population."

Dr. Linden notes that physicians' awareness of the study may have influenced the care provided to study participants. However, any such effect was substantially mitigated by the fact that our study was conducted by an "outside" group of Stanford-based investigators without the incentive or means to provide feedback to Kaiser physicians or administrators on the quality of care provided to patients during the study. Given the nature of excluded patients, Linden's suggestion of an analysis of changes in medication prescription rates among these subjects would be difficult to interpret. As Linden suggests, the evidence-based "baseline" care provided by Kaiser physicians for these low-risk heart failure patients might not have been amenable to improvement. However, our group has conducted a series of multi-center randomized trials in Kaiser Permanente Hospitals in which care management produced superior outcomes. (1-4) These trials focused on behaviors (exercise, smoking, diet, drug adherence) that were under the direct control of patients. As we noted in our present paper, rehospitalization is only partly influenced by patients' adherence to medication regiments for heart failure. Indeed, most rehospitalizations in the present study were not for heart failure, but for coronary artery disease and other medical conditions. This underscores the need to address the multiple comorbidities associated with chronic diseases (5). We agree with Linden that our study was not designed to evaluate the generalizability of our findings to non-HMO settings. Regarding the value of disease management in low-risk patients treated elsewhere, our conclusions speak for themselves: "Although nurse care management did not statistically significantly reduce the rate of rehospitalization compared to the Kaiser Permanente HMO-treated group, its potential value in non-HMO settings should not be diminished."
Dr. Linden raises an interesting methodologic problem with evaluating nurse care management: such studies rely on physicians' willingness to collaborate closely with the nurse care managers. It is our impression that physicians practicing in HMO settings are more willing to do so than those practicing in other settings. A future challenge is how to organize and conduct rigorous studies of care management for various chronic conditions outside of environments such as HMOs whose physicians place a high value on collaboration.

By Darren Mims, Hq. SDDC AT21 OfficeNovember 21, 2012
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- A central pillar in Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's strategic management of human capital is the alignment of human capital strategies with the command's mission, goals and objectives.
The development and implementation of a strategic human capital plan is a key step in SDDC's progress to maintain a highly effective, performance-based organization. The plan, when fully developed and implemented, will serve as the roadmap for continuous improvement and provide a framework for transforming the culture and operations of SDDC as the command moves to meet the challenges of the future operating environment.
Human Resources professionals from SDDC's G1/4 Personnel and Logistics Directorate are forging the necessary strategic partnership by reaching out to senior leaders, managers and employees up, down and across other SDDC organizational functions. According to Virginia King, deputy chief of staff for Personnel and Logistics, for SDDC to remain strategically aligned, key leaders must be involved and actively engaged throughout the human capital planning process.
"Our [Human Resources] experts are currently coordinating with senior leaders, managers and employees to develop a comprehensive, flexible and living Human Capital Plan to help facilitate the achievement of SDDC's mission, goals and organizational objectives, both now and in the future," she said.
Amy O'Connor, Human Resources division chief, and her team, together with other subject matter experts across SDDC, are currently developing a plan of action for implementing ways SDDC can "onboard" new employees in a strategic and comprehensive manner that reflects SDDC's human capital needs.
"SDDC must do more than attract new talent, we must lay the groundwork that will encourage new employees to grow and stay," O'Connor said. "Therefore, one of the first areas we have chosen to focus our efforts in is to invest in an effective onboarding program."
O'Connor explained that onboarding is the process of integrating and acculturating new employees into the organization and providing them with the tools, resources and knowledge to become successful and productive.
"Our HR staff recognized that employee needs for onboarding do not end in the first days or weeks of employment," added O'Connor. "Our hope is to develop a strategic onboarding program that begins when the employee accepts the job offer and continues through their first year of employment. With that goal in mind, we have formed a Strategic Onboarding Program Integrated Project Team to take a look at our current processes and make what we expect to be relatively inexpensive enhancements that will generate a variety of short- and long-term benefits."
King added that the onboarding initiative is just the beginning and will become a part of a much larger retention strategy.
"As the overall human capital plan takes shape, it will lead to a clearer vision of the kind of future workforce needed by framing the desired state of human capital," she said. "From recruitment, retention, talent development and performance management, the plan will touch upon the full spectrum of HR functions, services and capabilities necessary for SDDC to achieve its strategic imperatives."

Further information about research courses
Research at Sydney
Your research at Sydney
Research at The University of Sydney is dynamic and always evolving; inspiring the active mind and providing new tools and ways of thinking that lead to innovation. A postgraduate research degree is a training exercise in which the candidate acquires knowledge of research methods and experience in planning, performing and publishing research under the guidance of a supervisor. The success of that training is assessed through a thesis, which in the case of a PhD is expected to provide some evidence of originality and thereby make some significant contribution to knowledge, at least some of which is publishable. A successful research master's thesis will likewise demonstrate a grasp of training in research methodology but may make a less original contribution than a doctoral thesis. Over the years, The University of Sydney has consistently outperformed other Australian universities in the measure of research performance used by the Australian Government to allocate funding. The numbers are impressive, but what really matters is the research this funding supports. This exceptional outcome is testament to the breadth, depth and scale of Sydney's research enterprise and demonstrates the superior quality of Sydney researchers in the eyes of their research peers
The supervisor is that member of the academic or, as appropriate, senior research staff, appointed to take primary responsibility for the conduct of a student's research candidature. The supervisor must be available at all stages of the candidature for advice, assistance and direction and is responsible for the progress of the candidature to the head of department/school and the faculty or college. At least one associate supervisor is also appointed. The role of the supervisory team will change over the course of the candidature but will generally always comprise: ensuring sufficient resources are available to support the candidate; providing advice about an initial research plan; ensuring that the candidate is aware of the particular research skills to be acquired and that appropriate techniques are established for gathering and analysing data; monitoring progress made within the context of the research plan; agreeing on a timetable for frequent and regular contact and acknowledging the need for periodic review of these arrangements; establishing agreed indicators of progress; providing regular and constructive feedback on written analysis and drafts; and providing sound advice about relevant administrative matters.
The University of Sydney offers a number of research scholarships to outstanding domestic and international students. Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and citizens of New Zealand are domestic applicants. Scholarships information for domestic applicants http://sydney.edu.au/scholarships/research/ Overseas nationals (citizens of all other countries) are international applicants. Scholarships information for international applicants http://sydney.edu.au/future_students/international_postgraduate_research/costs_scholarships/scholarships/index.shtml
About RTS
The Research Training Scheme (RTS), http://sydney.edu.au/future_students/domestic_postgraduate_research/costs_scholarships/costs.shtml administered by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), provides course fee exemptions for Commonwealth-funded higher degree by research (HDR) students for the duration of an accredited HDR course, up to a maximum of four years full-time equivalent study for a doctorate by research (including a professional doctorate which meets the research program criteria), and two years' full-time equivalent study for a master's by research. RTS students may be enrolled full-time or part-time.
Progression and completion
Progression rules
A candidate for the Master of Veterinary Science will have an annual review of progress, in which the candidate will be required to provide evidence of progress in their research and towards the completion of their thesis. On the basis of the evidence provided, the faculty will recommend the conditions of candidature to apply in the following year, and may request a further review at the end of a semester.
If a candidate is not progressing satisfactorily towards the completion of the degree, they may be asked by the faculty to explain why their candidature should not be terminated.
Annual progress review
The Academic Board has determined that all research candidates are required to undertake an annual progress review (APR). The APR comprises a written report and a mandatory interview. The report requires written statements from the candidate, the supervisory panel, the staff member responsible for coordinating or directing research within the department, and the Chair of the review panel. The interview is conducted by the review panel, which should include the participation of an academic staff member or members from outside the department. Members of the candidate's supervisory panel may be present for part of the interview, but the interview must provide the candidate with the opportunity to speak freely to the review panel without the presence of supervisors. On the basis of evidence provided and the interview, the head of the department recommends the conditions of candidature to apply for the following year.
Completion requirements
Thesis submission requirements and examination procedure as set out in the Academic Board resolutions for this course and the Higher Degree (HDR) Rule 2011.

Australian Court Rules for Prostitute Who Was Turned Away By Motel
An Australian court has ruled that motel owners violated an anti-discrimination law when they refused to rent a room to a prostitute.
A sex worker known as "Karlaa" sued after management at Drover's Rest Motel in the mining town of Moranbah after she was turned away. Her lawsuit claimed violations of the country's Anti-Discrimination Act, which bans discrimination on the basis of lawful sexual activity. (Prostitution is legal in parts of the country.) Karlaa lost her original case but appealed last year to a Queensland court.
She argued her use of the bed was no different from somebody who checked into a motel and used the phone or internet for business. Prostitution is legal in Queensland.
Karlaa told The Australian yesterday: "At the end of the day, it's not acceptable to discriminate against people. What I do might not be to everyone's taste but it's legal, and it's how I make my living.
"Not everyone would choose to do the job I do, but it's not right that they can treat me like a second-class citizen. They wanted me to go away, but I am a tenacious little terrier and I would not give up."
The court hasn't released its ruling. Karlaa is seeking $30,000 compensation.
Richard Munro, chief executive of the Accommodation Association of Australia, told the newspaper the industry will review the ruling before deciding whether to appeal.
"But in general terms," he said, "we say that it should be up to the owner, the proprietor, the licensee, to protect the amenity of their business."
