Privacy Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Opaque products to maintain privacy
- Routeless slats avoid light seepage
- Add a liner for increased opaqueness
- Layer coverings for light versatility
- Good for bed, bath & streetside rooms
Privacy blinds and shades are opaque, or non-transparent, enough to prevent view-through, even when backlit. Perfect for rooms facing the street or a neighbor, privacy shades or routeless blinds are perfect for keeping the inside of your home hidden. Some blind styles, such as woven woods, will require an added privacy liner to provide the extra opacity needed. We also recommend choosing a top down/bottom up lift option or layering your treatments, like a faux wood combined with drapery, to best balance your light control and privacy needs. While these products will block view-through, they will not necessarily block all light like our blackout shades.

"Badly needed"
By Landlady from British Columbia Canada
These apartments face North and in BC falls and winters are cloudy, so we decided for skylights. The last two summers have been very sunny and hot so we needed shades badly. Our cellular shades from Blinds Galore have made a huge difference blocking the heat coming through the skylights and our tenants really appreciate having them.View this product

In Sexual-Misconduct Policies, Difficulty Arises in Defining 'Yes'
Twenty years ago, the "No Means No" campaign, created by a group of Canadian college students to raise awareness about sexual assault, pretty much encompassed the limits of the discussion. Since then, however, ideas about consent have grown more...

, updated April 8, 2014 at 7:45 PM
PRETORIA, South Africa – It was the kind of flourish more often seen in courtroom dramas than in real-life murder trials. In the middle of his emotional and harrowing testimony Tuesday, Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius stood up in full view of the packed courtroom, removed his prosthetic legs and demonstrated how very vulnerable and exposed he can be.
The moment came on a grueling day in which a shaky, tearful Pistorius for the first time gave a full account of what he says happened the night that he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. And it went toward bolstering the case the defense is trying to make: that Pistorius, the world's most celebrated disabled athlete, is at the same time an anxious and physically fragile man who sprayed bullets through the door of his bathroom because he believed someone had broken into his house.
"I was overcome with fear," he said, speaking of the moment he says he heard noises coming from outside his bedroom in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013.
It was a hot and muggy night, Pistorius testified, and his air conditioning was not working. He woke up in the middle of the night, spoke to Steenkamp and then – without turning on the lights or putting on his prosthetic legs – went to the balcony next to his bedroom, he said.
Then, he says, he heard a noise.
"My lady, that's the moment that everything changed," he told the judge, Thokozile Masipa. "I thought that a burglar had entered my home. Initially I froze. I didn't know what to do. The first thing that ran through my mind is that I needed to protect myself," he said, "that I needed to protect Reeva and I."
Pistorius is accused of murdering Steenkamp by shooting her four times in a fit of violent rage. If convicted of the most serious of the charges, he faces a minimum of 25 years in prison.
He contends that it was a tragic mistake, that he grabbed his gun from under the bed and went in search of intruders.
Even under mild questioning by his own defense lawyer, Barry Roux, Pistorius stuttered, paused, cried and lowered his voice to a whisper. And when he got to the crucial part of his story – the part where he fired through the bathroom door – he began weeping in earnest.
By his account, he believed that Steenkamp had remained in bed, in their dark bedroom, because he had spoken to her before getting up. Apparently, too, he believed she failed to respond to his screams because, hearing him shout that intruders were in the house, she feared for her own safety.
"I was just panicked at this point," he said, describing how he took the cricket bat he kept in his bedroom and used it to batter down the locked door. "I don't think I've ever cried like that or screamed like that. I was crying out for the Lord to help me. I was crying out for Reeva."
He bashed the door open, he said, and sat over Steenkamp's lifeless body. "I sat over Reeva and I cried," he said – for how long, he cannot remember. "She wasn't breathing."
It was then that he broke down completely, convulsing and heaving in sobs, and could not go on.
Pistorius' lack of composure Tuesday does not augur well for how he will stand up under cross-examination by the prosecutor, Gerry Nel, who is known for his aggressive, unforgiving questioning.

Chili Oil
Posted By Toni Fiore On March 13, 2006 @ 8:57 am In Vegetarian Tips | 4 Comments
Chili Oil
A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog about flavored oils, which are a great pantry item to have on hand. Unfortunately, flavored oil can have a short shelf life. The other night I needed chili oil for a peanut sauce. I had discarded the bottle I had and, because I don't use it often, I'd forgotten to replace it.
Always willing to do it myself, I made some and was surprised to remember how simple it is to make it. Should you find yourself in my predicament, here's my recipe for do-it-yourself chili oil.
Take 2/3 cup of oilve oil, 2 small very hot Thai red chili peppers slit down the middle (not minced or chopped) and 1 teaspoon of hot paprika. The paprika is optional, but I think it adds a nice layer of flavor. In a small heavy pan, heat the olive oil with the chilis until they begin to sizzle. Remove the pan from heat, add the paprika if desired, and put the oil aside to cool.
When it's no longer hot, transfer the oil to a container, leaving the peppers suspended in it. The peppers left in the oil will intensify the heat. This chili oil should keep for a couple of weeks.

All who are interested in the remarkable science of genetics which has gone ahead at a tremendous rate in the past ten years should read this book. It is fascinating and wonderfully well written. Leonard Engel, now unfortunately deceased, was probably the ablest science writer of his time.
Now that so many diseases are being identified as hereditary in origin, it becomes essential that every physician know something more about genetics. It is sad that so many physicians seem to be willfully ignoring the wonderful discoveries that are teaching us so much, especially about mentally defective and sexually deviated persons. Any number of physicians who have written about the causes of schizophrenia have said either that the cause is unknown or that it is all due to environment and conflict with "difficult" relatives. The work of Franz Kallmann who spent his life studying the heredity of schizophrenia is seldom mentioned

Interview: Herbert Van de Sompel
Developing new protocols to support and connect digital libraries
Herbert Van de Sompel is a digital library research pioneer known for his cutting-edge work in linking technologies and metadata harvesting. He received a masters degree in mathematics in 1979, a masters degree in computer science in 1981 and a doctorate in communication science in 2000, all from Ghent University, Belgium. He was Head of Library Automation at Ghent University from 1981-1998. From 2000-2001, he served as Visiting Professor in the Computer Science Department of Cornell University, where he was part of the Digital Library Research Group and taught computing methods for digital libraries. Prior to accepting his current position as Digital Library Researcher at the Research Library at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), he served as Director of e-Strategy and Programmes at the British Library. The 2003 recipient of the Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology, Dr. Van de Sompel has played a major role in creating the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, the OpenURL Framework for Context-Sensitive Services and the SFX linking server. He is also a member of the OCLC Research Advisory Committee.
What do you do at the Los Alamos Laboratories?
I lead the Digital Library Research and Prototyping Team, a group of highly qualified individuals who are well established in the digital library research community. Our team explores architectures/solutions for next generation digital library services in the context of the Los Alamos Research Library and beyond.
You recently won the Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology for your work in linking technologies and metadata harvesting. How important are these to libraries?
I think this work is significantly changing the nature of library services. Probably the OpenURL/SFX work on linking is the one that currently has the highest impact on libraries. There are quite a few academic and research libraries across the world operating an OpenURL-compliant linking server. Libraries now have a say in the nature and target of links, and users enjoy a consistent linking experience across resources. Interestingly, the linking work is not very well known in the digital library research arena. There, the impact of metadata harvesting protocols is more visible. Maybe thats because metadata harvesting has its origins in an effort to transform scholarly publishing. Initially, libraries had little involvement in those efforts as they were mostly initiated from within a given research community. As libraries start taking a more active role in that transformation, for example, through institutional repositories, they will be adopting a protocol to become part of a global, interoperable network of scholarly repositories. So, eventually, the impact of the OAI-PMH might become more profound.
What is the Open Archives Initiative (OAI)? Can you talk a little about the philosophy and driving force behind it?
Initially, OAI was about transforming scholarly communication. The idea was to increase the impact of communication through preprints by making repositories interoperable. For example, if we could make it easier to find preprints than electronic published papers, preprints might become a viable (and cheaper) alternative, which would change the dynamics of scholarly publishing. Later, mostly through the influence of the Digital Library Federation (DLF) and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), our work became more generic. Preprint repositories were not the only islands on the Web. So were digitized library collections. There was a clear need for interoperability at the resource-discovery level for all kinds of materials, not only for preprints. Supported by DLF and CNI, Carl Lagoze, Senior Researcher, Information Science Program, Cornell University and I embarked on a mission to create a generic protocol for metadata harvesting. The modus operandi is the creation of simple, generic, high-quality, vetted specifications that can enhance the experience of dealing with the networked information environment we live in.
What do you see OAI accomplishing for libraries?
There are a zillion things libraries could do with the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) because it is so generic. In Los Alamos, we use it for things as diverse as a read-only Repository Access Protocol, as a protocol to synchronize bibliographic data between different components in our infrastructure, and as a means to share digital library usage logs with our research collaborators, Johan Bollen (Old Dominion University) and Luis Rocha (LANL), who will be using them for creation of a recommendation system. I have been hoping that libraries would put pressure on publishers to make their metadata harvestable via the OAI-PMH. Unfortunately, so far, I havent seen a lot of action. Not sure why that is. Probably academic libraries are too busy worrying about integration with educational systems.
Hows the reception been to OAI-PMH around the world?
Beyond what I had expected or hoped for. The protocol is all over the place. Whichever meeting or conference I attend, the OAI-PMH comes up. As Cliff Lynch, Executive Director, CNI, mentioned, the protocol has become a part of our information infrastructure. I feel that the timeframe in which this has happened (less than 4 years) is quite surprising and impressive. It is really difficult to give quantitative measures about the adoption of the protocol because there is no requirement to publish usage, and in many cases usage actually occurs in an Intranet context. Recently, we have seen an increasing interest in the protocol from industry. Dot.coms and dot.nets that I had never heard of are playing around with the OAI-PMH.
What were some of the challenges in developing OAI and OAI-PMH?
With the OAI, things have been rather straightforward. Initially, in 1999, my ideas to move to action in the preprint realm were supported by Paul Ginsparg, Professor of Physics and Computing and Information Science, Cornell University; Rick Luce, Research Library Director at Los Alamos National Laboratory; Cliff Lynch; Don Waters, Program Officer, Scholarly Communications, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; Deanna Marcum, Associate Librarian for Library Services, Library of Congress; and Rick Johnson, Enterprise Director, Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC). This support was crucial for assembling a group of experts to discuss how to make preprint repositories interoperable. In Michael Nelson, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, Old Dominion University and Thomas Krichel, Assistant Professor, Palmer School of Library and Information Science, Long Island University, I found the perfect partners to demonstrate a possible solution: metadata harvesting. At the expert meeting, my connection with Carl Lagoze was established. Initially our collaboration was quite informal. Later, the DLF and CNI expressed interest in generalizing the protocol, and generously provided us with some funds. With that came the creation of an advisory board, and Carl and I became the OAI executives, leading the effort to deliver a protocol. Things have been very smooth. The funding expired at the end of 2002, and ever since then OAI has faced organizational challenges that are well known to anyone who has been involved in defining infrastructural components.
Developing the OAI-PMH has not been a challenge but rather great fun. It has probably been the best experience in my professional life. Carl and I have been able to assemble two generations of the OAI Technical Committee with people who excelled through their talents, insights and determination to get the job done. If I would have to name a single challenge, it would be remaining faithful to the fundamental principles of sticking to scope and maintaining simplicity.
How much input from librarians went into OAI-PMH? How many libraries are involved with the project, and what are their roles?
We had people on the OAI Technical Committee from the Library of Congress, the California Digital Library, the CERN library, the British Library, the Engineering Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and OCLC. And we had some more people with library backgrounds on the OAI Steering Committee.
How can OCLC help advance open access content systems?
I think OCLC can play a very important role through the creation of tools that can easily be deployed in a variety of institutional contexts, through educating its constituency about the better kind of place we could live in if they would collectively move to action to initiate some real change in scholarly communication, and through using their longstanding and valuable experience in novel ways that help in making such action successful.
How do you see OAI evolving? What are the future plans?
We have several pieces of work in thinking or in the pipeline. An important one is an upcoming collaboration with the JISC RoMEO project, in the realm of expressing rights statements about metadata and content in the OAI framework. We will soon set up a new technical committee for that work. Another effort that we have already done significant work on is the so-called OAI Static Repository. Its a file-based solution to lower the barrier for people to share metadata through the OAI-PMH; they dont need to run any special server, only put a file of a specified format on a Web server. We also think about the creation of a SOAP version of the OAI-PMH. Our good friend, Hussein Suleman (Cape Town University), is currently doing research in that realm, the results of which will probably become the starting point of an OAI effort. And there is more great stuff we have in mind. Just trust us and wire the money so we can get going.
What other communities are working on linking technologies, and how is the library community connecting with them?
The problem that comes closest to the librarys appropriate copy problem is the one in e-commerce whereby companies want to offer Web visitors a choice of online vendors of their products, but instead of providing that information themselves, they rely on third party services to do so. Interestingly, in their world, offering more choices is better than offering the appropriate choice. But its a similar thing, and companies like Channel Intelligence are providing services in that realm. I am not sure about what exactly their solution is but I can see that it could be addressed by using OpenURL and an OpenURL Resolver. Then theres Microsofts Smart Tags and related ideas that have led to some helper applications that let a user consult an authoritative database on a specific topic by selecting a word, or by clicking links overlaid by those applications. Again, this feels very similar to OpenURL ideas. As far as I know the library community is the first one to devise a standard in this realm of linking; we seem to be leading the way. The hope is that other communities will adopt the upcoming NISO OpenURL Standard to address their linking needs; by all means, the standard is written in such a generic manner that they could.
Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Web, describes the next generation of the Web as the Semantic Web, when people create many programs that collect Web content from diverse sources, process the information and exchange the results with other programs. How close are we to the Semantic Web that Berners-Lee describes?
Yes, and my American garage door talks to my Belgian toaster, and they agree I am hungry. Great idea. I think it will take long time to realize, and that we will go through several generations of enabling technologies before we find ones that are suitable to actually get the job done. Suitable in this case means both powerful and simple. Like the technologies that led to the emergence of the Web. Also, the Semantic Web will probably happen very gradually, with some sample implementations in niche areas illustrating the capabilities, and by doing so, slowly convincing the world at large. Quite a different deployment than the Web itself. While I have become increasingly receptive to the Semantic Web ideas in general, I remain puzzled as to why it takes so long for a killer illustration to emerge. My personal take on this is that too many people feel uncomfortable with the technologies at hand, or the lack thereof. While I keep hearing that RDF is simple, I remain to be convinced that the technology is straightforward. Also, maybe we are too focused on seeing a garage-door/toaster illustration of the Semantic Web concepts. Probably we should settle for an application that is less exotic, more useful and hence more convincing.

|Christopher St. John Smith
May 7, 1957 (age 59)
Santa Monica, California, U.S.
Medal record
Christopher St. John "Sinjin" Smith (born May 7, 1957 in Santa Monica, California) is a professional beach volleyball player. He won one U.S. championship and two World championships with Randy Stoklos.
He began to compete as a professional in the two man beach volleyball tournaments of Southern California at age fifteen. In 1977 he won his first tournament, teaming with "Stormin" Mike Normand. He went to college at UCLA, where he played volleyball as a setter and outside hitter under head coach Al Scates. The UCLA Bruins won the national championship in Smith's freshman year. Smith contributed more substantially in the 1978 run, where the Bruins reached the finals before losing to Pepperdine.
In 1979 the Bruins defeated cross town rival USC to win the national championship. Smith received All American honors both years. In the early 1980s he made a successful beach team pairing with former UCLA teammate Karch Kiraly. They split up after Karch began focusing on the National Olympic Team. He moved on to partner with Randy Stoklos, and the two became the most dominant pair in men's beach volleyball. Smith was the first player to reach 100 career open tournament wins. He was a primary force behind the growth of beach volleyball as a sport, and the development of the Association of Volleyball Professionals, which formalized the sport as a professional athletic competition.
Smith had a brief career as a television actor, appearing most notably on an episode of Magnum, P.I. as Magnum's volleyball partner who winds up dead under suspicious circumstances.

Daniel's Hobbies - Berlin Heights, OH - Phone: (419) 588-2029
Toys in Berlin Heights are objects that can be used by young children for play. Playing with toys is training the young for their social role. Another consideration is interactive digital entertainment, such as video game. Some toys are intended for display only. Toys, and play in general, are important when it comes to growing up and knowing the world around us. The young use toys and play to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships, and practice skills they will need as adults.
Each year as a tradition to myself and this green movement website, I write on the events of Earth Day (April 22nd) this year is no exception. I will focus more on some new ideas and representations of our planet Earth. The symbols of Earth Day have been similar throughout the years, including an image or drawing of the Earth..

My original invoice was $2.10 and with the late fee they raised to $4.60... it's not about the amount of money, it's about the principle of doing things right. With this company it is a cold shower. What ever happened to the "customer is always right"? They don't have to care about at all, they can issue any fees they want and if you try to fight the system, you can end up paying hundreds or thousands for lawyer fees etc.
Someone with the means should put this company thru a magnifying lense, because this smells rotten. A class action lawsuit should do the trick.

I called national support and they had never even heard of "LapNet"!!! when I told him Kinkos has used it for years, support said (and I kid you not) "We and Fedex not Kinkos". Unbelieveable!! I finally got him to admit that since they merged they are the same company. What a responsibility dump!
Then he said I had to call the actual store. I spoke directly to the manager who said I had to come in because it requires a CD to uninstall!!! Whoa! I live 2 hours travel time away and now I have to go in to get rid of this thing.
This is the type of unbelievable poor customer service that causes me to never go in that store again! Also who was the IT idiot that designed and coded such a piece of junk that causes such pain in the butt? I am surprised they they do not get sued over this.

Anyway, what kind of software it is? Why does a software need a CD to be uninstalled? This is very odd because a software should never be allowed to stay in a computer and cannot be uninstalled without its original CD. What if you try to uninstall it by yourself (on Windows via Control Panel, on Linux via synapse or apt-get/aptitude).
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

This was absolutely delicious! I sort of screwed up the directions, though, but it still came out fine. I added the first 6 ingredients to the saucepan all at once, so I brought it all to a boil, and then cooked it for another 3 minutes or so, which is all it seemed to need. I only added 1 T. of brown sugar, which was plenty sweet enough for me. Then, instead of blueberries, I had some fat, juicy blackberries to use. A wonderful breakfast and a great way to start the day. Thanks so much for sharing this "happy accident". Made for SPRING PAC 2013.
Fabulous, and so easy. DH took one bite and said that this was his new favorite oatmeal :) This makes a really nice big, filling portion. I made it again and divided it in half for a lighter yet still filling meal, and that worked well too. Personal preference for us, I reduced the amount of salt the second time since it was a little salty for us the first time. Thanks for sharing! PAC Fall '12

Green Button from Coast to Coast
Last week was a flurry of energy activity with FierceEnergy editors covering conferences on both coasts. While I was in Long Beach, Calif. at Utilimetrics' Autovation, Travis was in D.C. at Clasma's GridWeek.
It was difficult to choose which conference to attend, since they were both held at virtually the same time.
Utilities faced a similar difficult decision. Take San Diego Gas and Electric, for example. Ted Reguly, SDG&E's Director of Customer Programs and Assistance, who had been slated to present at Autovation, found himself at Datapalooza in D.C. with SDG&E Smart Grid Director Lee Krevat. Meanwhile in Long Beach, Carol Manson, SDG&E's Technical Strategy Development manager, was taking the podium for Reguly.
Regardless of which coast you were on or which event you were at, one thing was evident. Green Button is red hot.
At Datapalooza and GridWeek, SDG&E rolled out Green Button Connect My Data, an automated, more advanced level of the initial Green Button data download tool, and the next step in the industry-led Green Button initiative. At Autovation, SDG&E was recognized by the Department of Energy's Chris Irwin as the first utility in the nation to move to this next level.
Whether you call it big data, data analytics, interoperability or any other buzzword, the high-level presentations on each coast covered the energy data initiative effectively, providing real world examples direct from the mouths of respected utility executives from across the country. The dynamic, interactive presentations addressed industry issues from strategic deployment to collecting, analyzing and measuring data to opt-out issues for electric, gas and water utility professionals from investor owned utilities, municipals and electric cooperatives.
And the conversations didn't stop there, with utility executives (both presenters and attendees) sharing their lessons learned and best practices without reservation.
As I said, the decision to attend Autovation vs. GridWeek was a difficult one but, ultimately, my experience could not have been better, having learned so much about the industry initiatives of specific utilities, as well as meeting so many highly respected utility executives. Next year, I hope I will not be faced with another difficult choice and can attend both.
If you would like to share your experiences regarding Autovation or GridWeek, please use the "inShare" button to the left-hand side of this article.

Sock Marathon!!
You know, like in limenviolet, they had a sock marathon. This is basically what that is, with some changes. What they did was posted pics of their stash and set a goal (i.e. "I'm going to knit 3 mi of my stash.) Every so often, they posted what they made and how many yards of yarn used converted to miles. (From yards to feet, feet to miles.) The period of time is negotiable, so this can change to what works for you.
Sorta. Here are some of the rules that I made (again, these are negotiable):
1. If you find a skein/skeins of yarn that you MUST buy, this KAL isn't stopping you.
2. You need to post pics of your stash (if you're just doing a sock marathon, just post pics of your sock yarn) before you start this KAL, and after this KAL is finished.
3. It would be gladly appreciated if you updated frequently, but things come up, so...
4. You need to post pics of your finished objects. (You don't have to post what yarn you used, but you have to post the milage.)
5. For now, the time period is 3 months. (Starting date is July 1st. This is negotiable if this doesn't work for you.)
6. This sock marathon is for 3 miles. (This is also negotiable.)
This is really just the basics, so just about all of these are negotiable.

A NATION CHALLENGED: BIOLOGICAL TERROR; 2 Pakistanis Linked to Papers on Anthrax Weapons
By DOUGLAS FRANTZ with DAVID ROHDE
Published: November 28, 2001
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov. 27— Pakistan said today that it had detained two retired nuclear scientists after the recent discovery in offices they had used in Afghanistan of documents describing ways to use anthrax as a weapon and other suspicious material.
The scientists, Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood and Chaudry Abdul Majeed, were first questioned in October after American intelligence officers expressed concern about trips the two had made to the Afghan capital, Kabul. They were interrogated about their ties to the Taliban.
After he retired from Pakistan's Atomic Energy Agency in 1998, Mr. Mahmood founded a private relief organization, Ummah Tameer-e-Nau, in Afghanistan.
Documents from the organization's Kabul offices examined by The New York Times over the past several days describe the history of anthrax and a Pentagon program to immunize all members of the United States military against anthrax attacks.
Also found were a box of gas masks, a diagram showing a plane shooting down a weather balloon and promotional material from militant Islamic groups. These findings were first reported last week in the British daily The Evening Standard.
Plans for building a balloon and what appeared to be a rocket were found on a piece of paper along with empty steel tubes and parts of a rocket-propelled grenade. A container of helium sat on a work bench.
The diagrams of the balloons seem to show a possible method for slowly dispersing some type of biological or chemical agent from the air. Words scribbled in the diagram appear to say ''cyanide.''
One diagram found in the Kabul offices shows four balloons flying together in tandem with a box around them. The box appears to show how the agent would be dispersed across a wide area.
The house, like others in the Afghan capital apparently used by Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, Al Qaeda, seems to have been hastily abandoned when the Taliban fled Kabul two weeks ago. It is not clear who may have been in the house since then, or whether the littered papers and rough sketches may have been left by someone else.
Referring to the scientists, Maj. Gen. Rashid Qureshi, the top Pakistani military spokesman, said today in Islamabad, ''Both of them are under detention.'' He declined to elaborate, but officials said the new detentions related to the discoveries in Kabul.
The first arrest of the scientists, last month, was linked to American suspicions that Pakistan's nuclear weapons technology could have found its way into the hands of Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda or the Taliban.
An American intelligence official said today that the first interrogation of the two Pakistani scientists led to an assessment that Mr. Mahmood and Mr. Majeed did not know enough to help build a nuclear weapon. ''These two guys were nuclear scientists who didn't know how to build one themselves,'' the official said. ''If you had to have guys go bad, these are the guys you'd want -- they didn't know much.''
Neither of the scientists has been charged with any wrongdoing. Their families have said that they are innocent and that their interest in Afghanistan was humanitarian. The families have written to government officials protesting their interrogation and earlier detention.
They had been released after the initial questioning in October, but remained under loose house arrest. The new detentions indicate that concern about their activities in Afghanistan have intensified.
Mr. Mahmood and Mr. Majeed worked for the relief organization, whose official purpose was to upgrade roads, build flour mills and carry out other projects to assist Afghanistan. Both spent a considerable amount of time in Afghanistan.
General Qureshi, the military spokesman, said of their new detention: ''When we have completed the investigation, I'm sure the details will be coming out.''
The diagrams in the Kabul offices of the relief organization were detailed. One had an arrow pointing to a balloon and the word ''wireless'' written next to it, suggesting that some type of communications device might be used as a trigger. Other diagrams had the word ''SAM-7'' and ''Stinger'' written near the balloon, suggesting that the two types of anti-aircraft missiles could be fired at the balloon to get it to release it contents.
Nearly all of the information found about anthrax in the house came from the United States military. The copies of the military paper describing the anthrax immunization program and expansion of anthrax vaccine production in Michigan were all from original documents, not documents downloaded from the Internet.
Someone had written a half dozen stars across the top of the Michigan study, suggesting that it was thought valuable.
Whoever was conducting the research also effectively mined United States military Web sites for information. Copies of a printout of the first page of a military Web site devoted to better informing Persian Gulf war veterans with related illnesses were found in the house.
The site offers highly detailed descriptions of how anthrax can be used as a weapon and spread through artillery shells, airplanes and trucks. It lists what size of anthrax dose kills people who have been immunized, and refers readers to more detailed academic studies on anthrax.

Way of the Samurai 3 Detailed
Take control of your own destiny in ye olde Japan.
The Way of the Samurai series might be something of an underground sensation worldwide, yes, but a sensation it is -- and its inherently silly combination of feudal-Japan samurai and GTA-style sandbox play is a remarkable amount of fun to screw around with. The series is still going strong, too -- a PSP port of the original Way of the Samurai is slated for the end of this year in Japan, and coming hot on its heels is Way of the Samurai 3 for the PlayStation 3, a fully-revamped bushido-'em-up that's set to take the series to new levels of mayhem.
Like the previous two games, it's Japan during the feudal era, and you're a nameless, wandering samurai who's just popped into town. The "town" in this case is the land of Gishu Amana, a fiefdom ruled by the tyrannical Fujimori clan from their towering castle complex. Fighting against them is the Ouka faction, a band of low-level samurai that once served the Sakurai clan (previous rulers of Amana) but are now little more than a pack of bandits. In the middle, as they always are in Japanese samurai dramas, lie the peasantry, brutally abused by both sides -- and to add to the drama, the samurai representing them is the father of one of the Fujimoris' most trusted and powerful warriors. What your samurai does in this land, and which side he chooses to align himself with, is all up to you -- you'll shape your own fate with your actions and conversation choices, eventually reaching one of several endings (or death, whichever comes first).
Besides the graphical upgrade you'd expect from a PS3 title, Samurai 3 is set to feature an entirely new weapon system, according to the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine. There are over 100 weapons in this game, more than any previous installment, and you can now wield spears in addition to swords for those meddlesome occasions when you need just a couple more feet of reach. Not enough? Then you've got the ability to craft your own weapons for the first time ever, building a katana out of its four constituent parts (handle, cap, handguard and blade) and assigning it skills. The number of sword moves at your disposal is directly proportional to the quality of the raw parts you use, so it might pay to hit the shops and slash up anyone particularly gruff-looking on the road in case they've got some primo rare parts.
Way of the Samurai 3 is due out this fall in Japan; no US release has been announced.

So I've been asked to create a plugin by a client which I would like to charge them for and give them a 6 month exclusivity before releasing it under GPL and have it hosted on WordPress.org.
I'm confused as to which license I should use here... I'm happy to release it under GPL to my client but was wondering if I could add the GPL after the 6 months is up? My understanding is that if I create a plugin for a specific client that this is not classes as "distribution" and so does not need to be released under GPL but am getting a little confused.
All help/advice greatly welcomed
