Iran continues to defy international pressure to stop its nuclear program.
The Islamic Republic announced it test-fired a surface-to-surface cruise missile in international waters near the strait of Hormuz on Monday. The launch came during a 10-day exercise designed to be a show of force by the Iranian Navy.
The missile, called Ghader, or Capable in Farsi, was described as an upgraded version of a missile that has been used before. The official IRNA news agency said the missile "successfully hit its intended target" during the exercise.
One-sixth of the world's oil supply passes through the strait.
Iran has threatened to shut down the oil passage if Washington imposes additional sanctions targeting the country's crude exports.
"The Strait of Hormuz is completely under our control," Iran's navy chief Adm. Habibollah Sayyari said after Monday's test. "We do not allow any enemy to pose threats to our interests."
Iranian state TV said two more missiles, with a shorter range, were also tested Monday.

8. FunctionFlip
Free, Kevin Gessner
Media keys on Apple keyboards are useful, providing fast access to media playback controls, Launchpad, Mission Control and brightness settings. However, Apple hardwires controls to keyboards, meaning if you've an old Mac running a new OS, you're likely lumbered with a pointless Dashboard key. System Preferences enables you to turn all these functions off, but FunctionFlip is far more useful, because you can 'flip' individual keys. This means with an old Mac, you can, for example, leave the media keys on, 'flip' just F4 and then bind that key to Launchpad in the Keyboard System Preferences pane.
9. Caffeine
Free, Lighthead Software
If your screensaver or sleep mode kicks in after a short amount of time, this can be an inconvenience when you're doing something on your Mac that doesn't require interaction, such as reading. Caffeine simply keeps your Mac awake when it's active, a status denoted rather sweetly by a steaming coffee cup in the menu bar. Command-click and you also get access to a number of timer options other than 'indefinite'.
10. Printopia
£13 ($19.95), Ecamm
Apple's iOS devices merrily print to any printer that's AirPrint compatible. These days, that's quite a few, but many people still have older printers they don't want rid of. Printopia acts as a bridge between shiny new iOS devices and veteran printer kit, and it also provides options to print jobs directly to your Mac. The $19.95 price-tag means it isn't the cheapest Mac add-on, but it's a lot more affordable than a new printer!

Ever wonder why certain bus drivers seem agitated, rude or downright mean when passengers cross that hallowed yellow line while others simply smile and make no big deal about it?
Do you wonder about how many of society's boundaries - figurative yellow lines - you and your fellow passengers may come in contact with, cross or adhere to during a simple bus ride or the course of a normal day?
Better yet, have you ever considered what you could learn about society just by taking a bus ride and observing what happens when rules and regulations are applied to small slices of life?
If so, you'll definitely want to get on board and attend one of the most interesting topics to be presented at a College of the Canyons Scholarly Presentation.
By the way, no fares are required for this ride (admission is free!).
Featuring original research and first-hand accounts integrated with a collection of familiar bus-themed songs and movie clips, original photos and videos and a live performance element, the scholarly presentation 'Busology: Standing Behind the Yellow Line' will take place 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, on the main stage of the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons.
Busology, of course, is a made-up word created for marketing purposes but which, loosely broken down into its word roots means - a study related to buses.
"Everyone has a favorite bus related story, experience or anecdote of their own," said College of the Canyons sociology professor, and presenter Pamela Williams-Paez, who conducted the research for this presentation over a two-and-a-half year period in Seattle.
"So this presentation is definitely something the audience will be able to relate to as we look at some of the theoretical aspects in which sociology can take something as simple as a bus ride and use it to show us the connections between our daily lives and much larger social realities."
Over the course of her research - which included countless hours riding buses at all hours of the day and night, during all seasons and on all routes of service, more than 30 driver interviews, countless hours of onboard observation and a two-and-half week new driver training course - Williams-Paez attempted to baptize herself into the 'bus driver culture' in order to better understand the occupation and tie it to its larger sociological context.
What she found, and what audience members will learn, is that bus driving is an occupation that places its members on the front lines of a wide variety of social issues and problems, which must be confronted, dealt with or incorporated into the driver's daily routine.
"Most of the public thinks 'oh this is a snap job, all you have to do is open the door and collect fare, how easy,'" said Williams-Paez, "but in fact it's probably one of the most stressful occupations out there next to law enforcement. And part of that stress comes from dealing with social issues that drivers really don't have any control over."
Explaining that variables such as a transit service area's ridership demographic, economic climate, homeless population, crime rate and potential for on-board instances of violence and assault are all issues a driver must take into account, Williams-Paez points to an ongoing tension between drivers and riders that helps explain why drivers may develop a reputation for seeming angry, grumpy and unhelpful behind the wheel.
"Under these conditions it's impossible for them to keep all the rules, so they look for shortcuts," Williams-Paez said, "and one shortcut is to classify their ridership, sort of size them up psychologically, to determine 'ok this is probably a good passenger, this is probably a less favorable one that I definitely want to stay behind that yellow line.'"
Designed to both inform and entertain, Williams-Paez is confident that audience members will leave the 'Busology' presentation with a greater understanding of 'bus culture,' a deeper appreciation for the value of sociological study and a new context to place their favorite bus-related stories, memories, jokes and anecdotes.
"I'm trying to make this presentation something really fun for people to be a part of," said Williams-Paez, "but I'm also trying to give the community an empathetic view of the world drivers work in, what they are up against and what that can tell us about our society."
The Scholarly Presentation is sponsored by the College of the Canyons Foundation and the reception following the event is hosted by the Santa Clarita Community College District Board of Trustees.

Gardening: Starting and keeping a garden journal
by Mary Robson, WSU Area Extension Agent
Year's end finds many of us thinking over what habits or personal commitments we want to build during the new year. This often connects with opening a gift package containing a crisp, fresh and possibly fancy garden journal.
Keeping a garden journal may seem sensible, and it's certainly recommended by garden teachers and writers. But often the practice gets lost in busy spring days, and the fancy journal stays untouched.
But keeping a garden log helps advance the gardener's education, and can be a wonderful family record as the years pass. My own mother's diaries reflect her interest in gardening. Though not creating a garden log, she generally wrote two or three times a week and always included a note about shrubs or perennials in bloom, birds she'd seen, and plants added to the garden. Looking back at those short notes, I have a nostalgic record of her interests and her observations.
What form should a garden journal take? Choose one that will be most useful for your own interests and tendencies. Some gardeners enjoy using computers to produce effective logs and charts. For others, the beautiful, hard-bound journals with art reproductions are soul-satisfying. But I need something I can pick up with a muddy hand and write in during wind and rain. I use a loose-leaf notebook, about two inches thick for the year.
At the beginning of the year, I get a monthly calendar, without pictures, and make a divider for each month with the calendar page included. Additional pages include graph paper sheets and ruled notebook paper. I add some see-through plastic envelopes.
The calendar pages serve for short notations: "Snowdrops in bloom," varied thrush visiting, "transplanted sarcococca." At the end of each month, on back of the page, I paste the weather chart for the month. Local newspapers often print these on the first day of the new month. After keeping these records for over 10 years, I can document the lowest temperatures, the deepest snow, and the highest winds. If your garden equipment includes a minimum-maximum thermometer and a rain gauge, you an also record unusual deviations in your own microclimate. Weather records help in diagnosing plant difficulties: Is the rainfall high or low? Did we have a late freeze that ruined the camellia buds?
In addition to weather records, records of the time of growth and blooming and the appearance of insects and animals also help gardeners make plans. A predictive branch of science call phenology tracks climate effects on blooming and other botanical events. Keeping weather records helps with personal prediction. When the lilacs are in bloom, do the apples usually flower?
For generations back, gardeners and farmers have used the clues offered by plant growth to time their activities. Much of this advice falls into the category of what might be found in an elderly and unscientific almanac, but it's fascinating to reflect on the relationships between plants and insect appearance. Remember, plants and animals respond to weather events, not to the calendar as we read it in our daily work.
Other valuable journal entries include reordering new trees and shrubs. The surprising growth rates of many plants can be celebrated year by year. And if a fruit tree, for instance, isn't bearing after five or six years in the ground, its culture should be investigated to find out why. I also keep records of transient plantings: annual seeds started from year to year, which perennial cuttings grew best and bulb planting locations. (Then, when the squirrels move the tulips around, I can tell where they were intended to be.)
Vegetable growers are particularly helped by records. In the pleasure of the chase for more garden production, timing and planning vegetable and fruit plantings must be done. The specific cultivars that perform best in your own garden may not be those recommended by catalogs or even by other gardeners. Keeping track of the yield of the plant is especially useful, since vegetable gardens are, after all, about growing food. How many salads did that patch of lettuce provide? When did the cantaloupe ripen?
Monitoring problems in the garden can also be satisfactory. Many gardeners have heard of the concept of "Integrated Pest Management" but aren't sure how this term, which originated in agriculture, applies to their garden practices. The phrase means adopting a careful management strategy that identifies pests, figures out what level of damage an be tolerated, chooses control if needed and works with the least-toxic control. Results are monitored.
This relates to journal keeping because records are vital for pest management. When did the aphids first appear on the rose leaves? How much of the plant is affected? Are beneficial insects present to reduce the problem? Which method of control is needed if the problem continues? What was applied, and when? Did it work? Records including this pattern of reasoning and observation will assist in helping all gardeners reduce unnecessary pesticide use and learn to use pest control methods properly.
Other bits that may wander into the yearly journal are soil test results, addresses needed for nurseries, or garden visits and sketches of garden layouts. Informal photos are fun, but not necessary. Some gardeners get into keeping a "clean hands" scrapbook to supplement the working notes in the daily or weekly journal.
Keeping a garden log can be fascinating and one of the most useful garden tools possible, valued right along with waterproof gloves and a sharp shovel.

With the completion of the NBA draft lottery last Tuesday, we now know the order of the 2011 NBA draft. The Cleveland Cavaliers hold the top pick in the draft, as well as the fourth pick.
This draft will be an important part of Cleveland's rebuilding phase after LeBron James left the franchise last summer via free agency.
The Cavaliers have many needs, and Duke's Kyrie Irving, Arizona's Derrick Williams and Turkey's Enes Kanter are all options for Cleveland at No. 1.
Jimmer Fredette is also being looked at by several teams, with the Utah Jazz possibly being pressured into taking him.
Jazz fans know Fredette and his abilities very well from his time at Utah school Brigham Young University.
The NBA draft combine also took place this week, and I will go over the performance of many of the top prospects, including some concerns about Kemba Walker.
Now let's look at the latest news from all the top NBA draft prospects and results and analysis from the NBA combine.

Rachel Resnick's debut novel, GO WEST YOUNG F*CKED-UP CHICK: A NOVEL OF SEPARATION, not only landed her on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list in 2000, it also taught her first-hand how involved an author must be in promoting her own work. She's applying what she learned with her latest book, the provocative memoir LOVE JUNKIE, released last month to rave reviews, which has helped to create a buzz that continues to fill her schedule with television, radio and podcast interviews; panel discussions; signings and myriad other book events.In addition to her books, Resnick, a Los Angeles-based writer, has published a number of articles and essays in newspapers and national magazines, as well as stories in literary magazines and anthologies. She has taught creative writing since 1995 at UCLA Extension Writers' Program, USC Professional Writing Program and other universities, and operates her own luxury writing retreat and private coaching program, Writers on Fire.
What were the top 5 things you did to market your most recent book after publication?
1. Stayed on top of incoming press, with Google Alert and manual checking
2. Disseminated incoming press via Web site, other social networks (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace), via word of mouth to fans as well as publicity team.
3. Started a blog on my Web site.
4. Insisted on book tour and book party for morale and for spreading the word bit by bit nationwide (in cities only where I had support already).
5. Went to a therapist (self-care).
What were the best things you did before publication to prepare?
1. Hired a web designer.
2. Hired an online publicist.
3. Created a book tour and book launch, and an inventive strategy for creating buzz.
4. Hired personal publicists.
5. Personally spread the word via online, via friends.
You must prepare FAR in advance of your publication date. Minimally six months prior. Use your creativity the same way you do in your writing, but direct it toward marketing.
As I said above, I hired other professional people to help me instead of trying to do it alone or only with the excellent publicists at Bloomsbury. They rock, but they have to handle a lot of books at once. And if your book isn't chosen as one of the "anointed" books with a ton of money set aside to promote, you damn well better pull out the stops yourself. I didn't depend on any one of these talented professionals alone to strategize nor stay on top of constant communication or updating. I think successful book promotion requires constant refining of goals, and integrating of reviews, news, sales patterns and reader response. It requires your constant attention. Some people say the writers' real job begins once the book is completed. Once you have poured your heart and soul into the book, you must shift gears entirely. It may be awkward. Even embarrassing. Too bad. It is crucial. Today, publishing is in crisis. They literally do not know how to sell books anymore. The old models aren't working. Book reviews and venues are disappearing daily, as are bookstores. You have to think outside the box, experiment, and figure out the online world. You've got to get involved.
Added 12/11/08: Then there's image. Even if you're only giving bookstore readings, it pays to pull your look together. If you're like me, while writing you've been dressing like crap. Pajamas, sarongs, sweats -- whatever's comfortable for facing the daily existential abyss of the blank page. Now that you're reemerging into the world and meeting the public, it's your job to get your look polished. It's revealing that I forgot to mention this important aspect the first time I answered your excellent questions! But getting a fantastic professional author photo -- which includes hiring someone to do your hair and makeup along with a great photographer -- is key. You'll be living with that photo for a long time. In the case of LOVE JUNKIE, when I started getting media attention -- including even television -- I realized I needed to step up my game even more. I was clueless, so I hired some consultants for a crash course to help me learn how to do my own hair, makeup, and choose a simple wardrobe that I could use as a uniform for the book tour. What a relief. I still suck at getting my picture taken. As these consultants/photographers said, unlike the quiet, pliant, photogenic actors they usually work with, I made too may faces, thought too much, and generally wouldn't stop moving. Still, all you can do is your best. Try to relax! And breathe. Knowing you look as good as you possibly can helps take some of the pressure off writers when they finally emerge from their shadowy creative caves into the public light.
Did you work alone on your book promotion strategy, or in conjunction with a publicist?
I didn't work alone, but the same way the book was ultimately mine, the publicity campaign is ultimately mine as well as a joint effort. I have to be the one to keep all the elements in place in the big picture. What are my goals? What's realistic? I am always open to gathering information from fellow amazing writers and promoters, and also from the professionals with whom I'm lucky enough to work.
What do you know now that you wish you had known before you started promoting your book?
I'm in a good position with this book because I learned the hard lessons with my first book, GO WEST YOUNG F*CKED-UP CHICK. I learned that you have to start preparing at least six months in advance. Any later is, frankly, too late. By the time I started with GO WEST, it was too late. I also learned back then you have to do it yourself, and you need professional help. I tried so hard to promote that book – my first book ever! – that once it was published I got myself sick. I shot my adrenal system and was ill for a full year afterward. You do not want to do that. This time, I got smart. I'm way out on a limb with hiring these people. I'm not loaded. I don't have a trust fund. I'm investing my advance in making this book happen. You have a very small window to give your book a chance. Six weeks, maybe, from publication time – unless it develops legs. A lot of it is about having faith, gambling, and for me adding yet more debt. By the way, I would never have made the same kind of expensive effort for my first book, because it simply didn't have as much potential for broad appeal. It wouldn't have been worth it.
Was promoting a nonfiction book different from promoting a novel?
It's very different promoting a nonfiction book, because you usually have a topic in addition to narrative. In my case, I'm very lucky that the topic of love and sex addiction is in the news currently. This is the kind of thing you have to be aware of, and to capitalize on. It seems that the time is ripe for people to learn about this addiction, and the time is now to promote discussion. That is exciting. Then it becomes about an issue. It becomes about you as an author being of service in furthering education and adding your voice to a cultural discussion, in whatever small way. That's stimulating, and gratifying, and keeps the focus off you as an ego-driven author. You are being of service. This is also a beautiful principle of the twelve-step programs that have helped me so immensely. I firmly believe the books we produce are no longer ours once we complete them. Then they belong to the readers. We authors become merely ambassadors. And marketers.
How do you balance writing with the business side of being an author?
Balance is very tricky. I'm an addict, so I am all about extremes. I lost all sense of balance with my first book. With this one, I'm making a conscious effort to try and balance the constant work of promoting with basic self care. I'm trying hard to eat and eat right, to exercise, to make downtime, to sleep. I don't always succeed! When I was writing this memoir I thought I had narcolepsy. I found I would go unconscious around the material it was so hard to write. Re-creating the scenes literally retraumatized me. Part of the writing process included insanely long naps. Now I find I'm an insomniac. I'm constantly anxious about what's next, what I have to do, will it all work, and will it pay off. I just have to make a conscious effort to take care of myself and only do what I can without hurting myself.
Any other advice for newly published authors?
The most important thing is to write well. To go deep. Don't hold back. Unleash everything you have onto the page, and create a book that you can be proud of and stand behind. That is your job as an artist, and the foundation for promoting. I can't imagine doing it any other way. Otherwise you become merely a circus barker, a snake oil salesman. In this case, you are simply doing your complete job as a writer in the modern world, which these days also requires you to be a damn good businessperson. As I learned in facing my addiction, I have only myself to blame. It's my job to take responsibility for myself as a woman seeking intimacy and health, and also as a writer seeking to share my work with as many people as I can.

Frozen spinach cubes
Do you have more fresh greens than even Popeye could handle? Then, why not make spinach cubes? The process is easy: steam the spinach until wilted, pat it dry, and pack it into ice cube trays. Pop a cube out to add to a sauce, soup or omelet or at some other time when a Popeyesque effort is required. Ice cube trays also work well for freezing pesto. Creative Commons photo credit: Pinprick

Kroll Ontrack, a provider of information management, data recovery, and legal technology products and services, has announced the launch of Verve, a do-it-yourself, e-discovery software-as-a-service (SaaS). The new platform gives users the ability to upload data, select processing criteria, conduct early data assessment and review, and manage production in an intuitive, web-based interface.
As a remotely-hosted, self-service e-discovery platform, Verve has a subscription pricing model, providing predictable monthly discovery spending or an on-demand pricing model for project-by-project application.
The Verve platform capabilities and benefits offer users the ability to:
- Quickly upload data. The Verve platform is available on-demand for any size case. A matter can be created in minutes by uploading data to the industry's most secure tier III data centers.
- Easily select processing criteria. Users have the ability to identify custodians, determine filtering options and select output within an intuitive interface.
- Effectively conduct Early Data Assessment. Users can conduct EDA to winnow a data set by 85 percent or more and sort data using the following tools: visual analytics, e-mail threading, topic grouping, concept searching, near duplicate detection, and near duplicate document comparison.
- Efficiently review documents. Once users are ready for review, they can control the movement of data into the Verve review platform, Ontrack Inview. Within the review platform, users can leverage Intelligent Review Technology, which automates aspects of the document review process to increase review quality and efficiency.
The new platform builds on trends revealed in a recent Kroll online survey conducted by Harris Interactive. According to the survey findings, 86 percent of 200 attorneys—100 from Fortune 1000 corporations and 100 from medium- to large-sized law firms—in-source some aspect of e-discovery.
Respondents ranked ease of use; security and compatibility with existing platforms; highest over software reputation; installation time; and training as the most critical factors for purchasing in-house or in-firm e-discovery tools. Additionally, the survey found that 81 percent of corporations and law firms have plans to turn to cloud and SaaS-based platforms for e-discovery in the next two years.
For more information about the Verve platform visit http://www.krollontrack.com/e-discovery-software/.

Creating animated characters with Blender
Blender not only generates realistic single frames; it is also capable of capturing the natural movements of people and animals. We'll introduce you to some of Blender's animation features.
Character animation – the art of bringing virtual characters to life – is the computerized counterpart to the hand-drawn cartoon. Replacing the drawing board with the computer does not really change the craft. Computer-generated animations still benefit from a realistic look and feel. Blender is capable of producing photorealistic images, and Blender offers some benefits that conventional cartoonists will never enjoy. For instance, objects in a Blender scene "interact" autonomously, and Blender correctly calculates the highlights and shadows when 3D objects change their positions (Figure 1). Last month we showed you how to create a 3D image in Blender. This month, we'll show you how to put an image in motion using Blender's animation tools.

Good point on the relay analogy.

Key points
Gaming firm offers 39 million shares in IPO
Market capitalisation of 113.6m beats expectations
Immediate future 'will be exciting time for firm'
Key quote
"The worldwide online gambling market was estimated to be worth in the region of $5.7 billion [3.06bn] in 2003 and we believe that the immediate future will be a very exciting period for BetonSports and the market in general" - David Carruthers, chief executive BetonSports
Story in full
GAMING company BetonSports has hit the jackpot, raising 54.6 million in the third-biggest initial public offering on London's junior stocks market, the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), this year.
Interest was stronger than expected in its placing of 39 million shares with institutional investors at 140 pence apiece, representing 48.1 per cent of its issued share capital.
The placing price will give a market capitalisation of around 113.6 million. That is considerably better than the 100m that the firm, which operates a US online betting agency and casino, had expected, it said.
The stock will start trading on the AIM from 7am on Thursday.
"We already have a track record of successful, profitable, organic growth and our listing on AIM will allow us to consider possible value enhancing acquisition opportunities in various geographical locations and also to explore possible complementary brand acquisitions," chief executive David Carruthers said in a statement.
He added: "The worldwide online gambling market was estimated to be worth in the region of $5.7 billion [3.06bn] in 2003 and we believe that the immediate future will be a very exciting period for BetonSports and the market in general."
Half the money raised was through the placing of existing ordinary shares and half from the placing of new shares.
From the 27.3m proceeds from new shares, 8.2m will be used to buy out the 49 per cent of Millennium Group not already owned by the firm. Millennium runs some of BetonSports' online gambling portals. The rest will be used to fund international acquisitions, mainly in the Far East and Latin America, the company said. BetonSports previously aborted an attempt to join the junior market in 2001.
More than 33 million bets were placed with the firm last year, equating to more than one bet every second. Online gaming is an increasingly successful sector, with an estimated nine million people worldwide gambling on the internet.
Earlier this year, UK company Interactive Gaming Holdings announced a revenue-sharing deal on one of its 1100 gaming internet sites with online betting firm - and BetonSports rival - Sportingbet. IGH said that Sportingbet, which has more than one million customers, would operate betting on its oneworldsportbook.com website in return for a monthly payment based on net revenue.
IGH did not say what the deal was worth.
London-based Sportingbet last year reported profits of 14.6m, but this year saw bets placed by punters in Europe double to 2.9 million in the three months to March 31, while it took a total of 9.1 million bets worldwide.
Gambling is, however, a risky business. In the autumn of 2003, Sportingbet said it had suffered at the hands of lucky punters, after posting wider first-half losses.
The firm said too many results had gone as expected, meaning it had to pay out more than planned. Pretax losses were widened and the company's gross margin was dented by 2m in the last two weeks of September 2003 alone.
UK firms lead the internet betting industry because the United States is more tightly controlled by gambling laws.

Remembering Your First Day at School
So, now that most kids are back at school and are getting into the swing of things again, it's easy to forget just how daunting that time can be for some of us.
For those of us who remember the first few days at school, it is mostly a sensory nightmare, an all-consuming environment that couldn't even be navigated with a map. You've been thrown in at the deep end with only a pencil case and book bag for company.
I remember my very first day at Secondary school, we were made to line-up along a very dark corridor and then shake hands with the headmistress- fairly nerve-wracking when you've just found out that she used to be in the female England rugby team. She was a force to be reckoned with and had a killer handshake.
Well, that's what I thought at the time. Now, when I see the ex-headmistress in question at my local supermarket buying wholemeal bread, she doesn't bother me so much!
Do you have a particularly memorable story or picture about your formative time at school? Do you still cower in fear when you hear the name "Mrs Davidson"? If so, then you can share it with us on our Twitter and Facebook accounts, or in the comments below.
*Image: Lois Lowry, 2009
Search for your ancestors:
- I remember my first day of school. I went to a one room school in Moorse Mills , New York.
It was heated with a stove in the back of the room. There where 6 or 7 grades in it. It started with first grade then. We had one teacher for all the grades. We did have a art, and music. Don't remember gym.
I do remember a Christmas program where we all had to memorize something.
I remember that year we had a May Pole in the spring.
I only went one year to that school we moved the beginning of the following school year.
The school was open for quite a few years after we moved. The last time I was in the area they had torn it down.
- From the very first day I started elementary school in Rock Hall, MD. I loved it. Despite the fact that the teacher thought I was mentally slow and put me in the lowest level reading group when I knew she was wrong! By the time I was in the 3rd grade my test scores proved that I was at least two years ahead of my age in reading. This teacher could have ruined my life if I had not had a strong family support system. Watch out for evil witches, kids!
- On my first day at 4 years old I was very proud of my new hanky that mum had pinned to my top.I accidentaly spilt some of my milk and the teacher told me to use my new hanky to wipe it up and I refused.She then hit me across my face with a dish cloth.Beware teachers named Rushden.Mum had an interesting visit!! and I did not return until I was five and a half.
- I can't remember much of my first day in school but what I cannot forget is one headmistress that when we are late or absent in coming to school or have our grades signed by our parents to see her and have her sign as well. We were all nervous seeing her since she was so strict, gives you a wink if you seem to be in trouble.

World expresses outrage over Farc attacks
The international community was vocal in its rejection of the atrocities committed by Farc in Cauca and Nariño with attacks that killed 19 people in just 24 hours.
The first to speak out was the Organization of American States through its Secretary General, Jose Miguel Insulza, who said the attacks are "an insult to the Colombian State and a despicable crime against its people which deserves the emphatic rejection of the entire international community."
A spokesperson from France's Foreign Relations Ministry expressed his country's "profound shock" over the attacks and sent condolences to the people of Colombia.
Meanwhile Spain condemned the "abominable and cruel actions, which are an attack against Colombians' efforts to secure a safe and peaceful future." The Spanish government reiterated its commitment to "cooperate in the fight against terrorism." Mexico and the Group of 24 also condemned the attacks and sent deepest condolences to all victims and Colombians.

As useful as a pair of binoculars can be, some people often find them to be too bulky and a hindrance when hunting, bird watching, hiking etc. For something which provides similar performance and is a fraction of the size of a pair of binoculars, monoculars may be the perfect alternative. Many people prefer monoculars as they are far more compact than a set of binoculars with some being as short as an average sized pen. They can easily be placed inside pockets and bags without taking up a considerable amount of space and can save you from having to carry them around your neck. The weight of monoculars is often half of the weight of a pair of good binoculars and you will often find that they provide the same quality that a compact or pocket sized pair of binoculars would offer. Despite their sleek and neat size, they will still provide you with sharp and crisp images in all terrains and landscapes. There is no better piece of equipment to call upon when you need a better view of something that has someone has written or a rare type of insect as they provide fantastic magnification. Wilkinson Cameras supply a huge range of Hawke monoculars, Leica monoculars, Minox monoculars and Praktica monoculars, who are renowned for producing some of the most sophisticated monoculars on the market. All of their offerings are hand held and are an affordable substitute to binoculars which can be effective in bright and low light conditions.

As the founder of a $338 million shoe empire, Steve Madden had grown accustomed to traveling in style, whether jetting to the famed golf course at Pebble Beach or to his stores in Miami. But the private plane he boarded on Sept. 18, 2002, was for a trip Madden wished he didn't have to take: After pleading guilty to two counts of securities fraud and money laundering, the shoe designer was off to a Florida correctional facility, where he would spend the next 31 months locked up. "It was unbelievably mind-blowing," says Madden, who was also ordered to pay $5 million in restitution. "I checked myself in, and the next day, I was cleaning bathrooms and picking up cigarette butts out in the rain."
As humbling as the experience may have been—Madden's prison job was to operate and repair the sprinkler system, and he slept in a cubicle with another inmate—Madden says it also gave him "a lot of time to think" about what had led him, back in '94 and '95, to get involved with two brokerage firms in manipulating IPO prices. "Fear of losing my talent, letting my family down and greed—that's how I got in trouble," he says. "I regret the mistakes I made, and I don't blame anybody else. I took responsibility and did my time like a man."
Now Madden, 48, who was released from prison last April, is working to rehabilitate his reputation as the driven head of Steven Madden Ltd., which he founded in '90 with $1,100. The company itself wasn't implicated in the scandal and continued to thrive during Madden's incarceration, expanding to 93 stores and beating out Nike and Adidas as favorite footwear among 13- to 29-year-olds in a recent survey. "I don't think Steve Madden the person is as important as Steve Madden the brand," says consumer expert Michael Berland, who conducted the poll. "That there is a Steve Madden would be a real shock to some people."
There is, of course, and while he was out, his moderately priced label continued to tempt both celebs (Beyoncé, Hilary Duff) and less affluent shoppers with stylish shoes. (Some critics charged they were akin to knockoffs.) "Not everyone can buy Chloé," says Carmen Electra, who owns Madden gold flats. "But you can get the closest thing at Steve Madden."
For his part, Madden, who was allowed to receive his $700,000 salary throughout because his crimes didn't involve his company, says he "wasn't that interested in shoes while I was away." What he did miss was "being able to take a shower without shower shoes. Walking down the street on a fall day in Manhattan. Getting up in the morning and reading the newspaper."
He found some solace in reading books, from David McCullough's bio of John Adams to The Devil Wears Prada—and from a course he taught fellow inmates about how to start a business. He says he also "got in touch with the prayer thing." Madden, who says he used alcohol and drugs in the '80s and relapsed during his legal troubles, also underwent court-ordered rehab. Sobriety, he says, "is not a struggle, but it's not something I take lightly."
If there was an upside to his forced time off, it was that Madden, who says he used to "work seven days a week and sneak a round of golf in," fell in love. Wendy Ballew, 34, his director of operations who says she used to view Madden "like a brother," visited him often in prison. They would talk, watched by guards, in the cafeteria and, recalls Madden, "I would hold her hand. [One day] I kissed her. Obviously there was no sexual intimacy until I came home, but it was very romantic."
Two months before his release, Madden proposed, and he spent his first weekend as a free man with Ballew in Montauk, shopping and enjoying a spa. "It just was so nice," she says, "being out."
No doubt her fiancé would agree. But Madden isn't trying to forget the past three years entirely. Faced with challenges now, Madden says he thinks back to prison. "There's a quote from Winston Churchill I put up on the wall," he says." If you're going through hell, keep going.' That's what I've done. I've kept going."

Heidelberg women v. Oberlin
December 30, 2010 - Zach Baker
Four 3-pointers in the first three and a half minutes have given Oberlin a 14-3 advantage. Heidelberg made one of its first five shots.
Heidelberg answers with a 9-0 run, and has cut the deficit to 14-12. (14:07)
Right now, outside shooting appears to be the thing for both teams. Jenny Miller hasn't scored yet, but Heidelberg is hanging in thatnks to Emily Giel's 13 points and Kristen McConkey's nine. It's Oberlin, 34-32 at the half.
Ashley Young has made four of five 3-pointers in the first half, and Oberlin has made 6 of 13 overall. Heidelberg has made 5 of 9. Giel has three of those. I don't want to say Heidelberg needs this game, but it seems like the first one is the toughest to get, and it'd be nice for the Student Princes to have a victory before Sunday's OAC game at Capital.
Heidelberg has opened up a 50-45 lead after a Nicole Lamb trey with 10:40 left. Also, HU SID Morgan Hawley has informed me that Kristen McConkey has her first career double double.
The Student Princes lead was up to 8 moments ago, now it's 52-48 with 8:44 left.
Giel just buried a 3. She has 16. Heidelberg leads, 59-50 with 5:49 left.
Miller has nine points, all in the second half. McConkey has 15 points, 12 boards and it appears Heidelberg is pulling away with 5:16 left. It's 61-53.
Heidelberg's lead is 64-54 with 1:52 to go. Giel, a freshman, has 18 points. Looks like Heidelberg will get its first win.

Memorable Turkey Hunt
A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of spending some time with Mike Ficht of Sugar Springs, Michigan.
Mike had won a turkey hunt at a fundraising banquet sponsored by the good folks at Ameristep. His prize was two days in the woods with Chet Loar of Star Creek Guide Service, and me.
Chet is one of the best turkey hunters I've ever met. If there are birds in an area, Chet can find them and get his hunters close enough for a shot. I was along to provide support and encouragement….and to videotape the hunt.
I liked Mike right away. I could tell he had a few years of experience behind him, but I was surprised to find out he was 74. He looked a lot younger.
He was in good shape too.
Chet likes to cover some ground while chasing turkeys, and Mike was able to keep right up with him. We were both relieved though when Chet said it was time to change tactics and sit in an Ameristep ground blind for a while.
Our first day of hunting was pretty slow. It was real warm and the birds weren't talking. We tried calling, sitting on dusting bowls and setting up an ambush…but nothing worked.
The second morning found us sitting in a blind near a roosting area. We could hear at least one tom gobbling at daybreak, but he shut up shortly after hitting the ground. I was afraid we were off to another rough day in the woods.
We tried a couple more spots with no luck. Again the birds weren't talking and the temperature was rising fast.
About ten thirty Chet set Mike and I up over a couple dusting bowls on the edge of a field. He said when it gets hot the birds like to dust themselves to cool down.
That turned out to be a good move.
Before Chet even had a chance to leave we had two hens walk ten yards in front of us and put on a show. After about twenty minutes they left and so did Chet.
While Mike and I sat there we had a chance to talk. I learned he was an avid hunter who hadn't spent much time chasing turkeys before. I also found out he was a retired cop. Hunters and cops, two groups I respect….no wonder I liked Mike so much.
After about an hour Mike nudged me and said "There's a bird". I looked out the side window and saw what I thought was a hen about fifteen yards away, on the edge of the field. Then the bird turned sideways and I realized it was a jake.
Mike had already told me he'd be more than happy to shoot a jake, but it didn't look like this guy would give us the chance to do that on camera.
The bird was slowly making his way around the blind and I had no way of getting the video camera pointed his direction.
I had to make a decision. Pass on the bird and risk a TV show, or get out of the way and let Mike shoot him.
I figured with the hunting conditions so tough the last couple of days it might be our only chance, so we switched places and Mike got ready for his shot.
Chet's gun is patterned pretty tight. In fact, his hunters routinely take birds out to fifty yards with it. This jake was only about twenty yards and at that distance there's not much room for error.
I didn't need to worry. With the calmness that only years of experience can provide, Mike settled the bead on the bird's head, pulled the trigger and dropped him.
As we walked up to the bird and I saw the smile on Mike's face, I knew we'd made the right decision.

Hello I am trying to design an 68k single board computer.
I have considered and already bought various devices and device programmers.
Recently I changed my consideration, not to use 5v, PAL/GAL anymore,
but to use a MAX7000 CPLD.
The system has 68SEC000, PIC18f86j16, 32K static RAM + MAX7000 CPLD.
It would be possible maybe alternatively to use logic including single gates,
the memory bus sharing is not very complicated. It is still messy to have too many different chips around,
and a CPLD can do it using only one chip.
What are your ideas/comments? I can use SMD parts excluding BGA/QFN.
MAX7000 is not a FPGA but also has JTAG interface. I have not yet found any good forum
for CPLD, usage of older PAL/GAL technology almost seems to have deceased.
There are these devices still available, I have some already, even made the software IDE working.
But they are 5 volts only...
Do you know if it is possible to implement a simple video interface using a small CPLD?
How much logic would be required for this? I am thinking of something like 320x200 in monochrome or 4 gray levels.
Do you have any information about this topic?
I have one MAXII demo board available already + USB Blaster + Altera software installed.
Right now I am working at the PCB layout.

I have couple of queries regarding iscsi initiator behaviour. I shall
describe the setup that I have.
Initiator PC: iSCSI initiator (installed using Initiator-2.06-
build3497-x86fre) running on a pc with XP.
Target PC: Third party target software on a XP pc installed using Star
Wind Software 3.5.1 Build 20071204.
I made a USB Pen drive as a target using the Start Wind software and
set it up for shared read write access.
On the initiator side I made an "add target" and a "login target" from
the command prompt to form a session to the Pen drive.
Now there are two observations I made which I would like to confirm if
they are correct.
a) I copy a file to the pendrive at the initiator end. I check the Pen
drive at the target end to see if the newly added file is seen, but it
is not.
I would have to logoff from the session at the initiator end,
safely unplug the Pen drive from the target machine and then plug it
back. Only then will I be able to see the file that got copied.
Does this mean that the target has to be unplugged and plugged
again to see the changes on the target machine?
b) Now in this scenario, I copy a file in the target on the target
machine. I dont see the change at the initiator side.
I would have to logoff from the session and login again to see the
So, when something is added in the target, does it not reflect
straight away at the initiators.
Is using a third party Target software the cause for the above
problems OR what I see is what everyone else gets?
Looking forward to comments on these.
Thanks in advance.

in the last few attempts I have got the following errors - 48 (mouse)

IACP Holds Global Summit on Terrorism
By Paul E. Santiago, Director, International Policing Division, IACP
errorism, a subject that has many facets, was recently the subject of an IACP global policing summit in Paris, France, September 21–22. The IACP held the event, titled Terrorism and the Prevention of the Radicalization of Youth, which focused on the youth facet of the terrorism picture. Partnering with the IACP to conduct this event were INTERPOL, FRANCOPOL, and the French National Police. Opening remarks for the summit were offered by the leaders of each organization: Frederic Pechenard, director of the French National Police; Chief of Police Michael Carroll, then-president of the IACP; Ron Noble, secretary general of INTERPOL; and Emile Perez, president of FRANCOPOL. Each provided remarks on the topic to set the tone and frame the summit. Perez, who also served as moderator for the conference said, "We as police have to realize that when the only response is police, it is too late. We need a political and social response."
The summit attracted attendees from 49 countries and featured a distinguished list of panelists. Panels were organized in a logical order so as to cover all aspects of the radicalization phenomenon: causation of radicalization, recruitment, deradicalization programs, prevention strategies, and a summary regarding the future.
After the organizational leaders set the focus and tone for the summit, each participant was asked to share their thoughts on the subject of radicalization of youth from their own experiences or that of the countries they represent. This created a sense of cohesion in the group and added to the cohort experience. These comments were nonattributive and provided great benefit to those in attendance.
Prior to the beginning of the five panel discussions, Alain Bauer, professor of criminology and president of the French National Crime Commission provided an overview of the issue of youth in terrorist organizations and radical activities. But he began on the macro level by saying that "strategic surprise is an outcome of strategic blindness that we must fight outside of our comfort zone and recognize that intelligence isn't just for large cities, but that small cities and local towns play an important role, just as the Gendarmerie does in France. Moreover, "we must also understand that the term 'national security' is not solely a matter of national defense, but that it goes much deeper than that, and that for the first time since 9/11, on both sides of the Atlantic, the understanding seems to be joined." Further, that "we cannot put together a strategy simply by electronically collecting and disseminating information; it is important to establish conceptual and operational foundations." Bauer went on to say that "criminologist[s] try to understand the criminal not judge the criminal," and as such we must recognize that "terrorist use the tools and mechanisms of criminals. Bauer feels that, "the war on terror has failed, failed in determining who the enemy is." Finally, Bauer said, "we must look at the organized crime terrorism continuum, in that there is a symbiosis between various types of crime, and that to detect is prevention, and therefore part of the process of combating terrorism."
The first panel moderated by Christer Ekberg, formerly of the Swedish Criminal Intelligence Service and presently of the Royal Academy of War Sciences in Sweden, helped to focus on the first step of the process: causation. Javed Ali Mustafa of the FBI talked about the three notions that had heretofore been made about the causation of radicalization in the United States, and that those notions are now being questioned. Antoine Sfeir, journalist, professor, and editor of the magazine Les Cahiers de l'Orient, spoke about the mere fact of building a madrassa does not contribute to fundamentalism; it is the person who preaches inside that contributes to the causation. Emiliano Calzada, police attaché to France from Spain, explained that radicalization disconnects the person from assimilation, that the gradual shift can be identified by certain variables, and that identifying these variables is important. Carstan Voss of the German Bundeskriminalamt (Federal Criminal Police Office) spoke on right-wing extremism and the German experience.
The second panel, moderated by David Beer, IACP international vice president, focused on recruitment. This panel comprised Dawn Scalici of the United States Department of Homeland Security; Christophe Chaboud of the Central Directorate of Interior Intelligence, France; Nicolas Jauniaux, head of the Penitentiary Intelligence Office, Ministry of Justice, France; and Sean Martell, chief inspector, New Scotland Yard, United Kingdom. This panel discussed the difficulty in identifying at-risk youth for the purposes of focusing governmental preventive measures. The panel also talked about propaganda and the smart use of the media as important tools for those doing the recruiting, perhaps making up 90 percent of the recruitment effort, according to one of the panelist. The Internet is a virtual university for educating and recruiting jihadist, just as are prisons. While in prison, inmates are not hermetically sealed off from the outside world and are susceptible to the contagion effect of fundamentalist recruiters. And, while in prison, it is easy for inmates to move from "I" to "we;" sometimes, this shift is a convenient conversion to avoid being ostracized and isolated, which means unprotected.
The third panel, facilitated by Emile Perez, president of FRANCOPOL and director of the French National Police International Cooperation Division, concentrated on deradicalization programs. Panelists presented on regional successes and programs from Jordan, Singapore, and countries from the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. Major Feras Mahmoud Mohammad Al-Rashid provided the Jordanian experience, highlighting the role that intelligence gathering plays to facilitate prevention, as well as the importance of police dialogue with people holding extremist thoughts. Major Al-Rashid articulated Jordan's active participation in the international network to combat terrorism through police cooperation and information sharing after a terrorist event. Grace Li from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Singapore, provided the Singaporean experience, which detailed two key components of Singapore's counterterrorism approach: the rehabilitation of detained terrorists and a counterideology outreach to the community. Dr. Omar Ashour from Exeter University focused on a few of the near two dozen countries that have deradicalization programs. He stated that they fall into two basic categories: that is, those that are considered process driven such as Egypt and Algeria, and those that are program driven such as Saudi Arabia and Singapore. He went into some detail with respect to the process-driven ones that fall into three categories: comprehensive, pragmatic, and substantive. His research and fieldwork found that leadership, classical security and military tactics, selective inducements, and interactions with the subject are primary drivers of deradicalization and ending political violence.
The fourth panel, facilitated by Paul E. Santiago, director of the IACP International Policing Division, focused on prevention strategies. Tony Heal from the Home Office in the United Kingdom presented the United Kingdom counterterrorism strategy known as CONTEST, with focus on one of the four components known as PREVENT, whose aim is to address specific causes of radicalization by meeting five objectives:
Gilles Michaud, assistant commissioner for national security criminal investigations, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), stated that the police cannot influence ideology. Instead, the emphasis should be on stemming criminal violence by building community resilience to radicalization and violent messaging. Michaud discussed the RCMP's approach to counterradicalization, with a particular focus on the Clients, Analysis, Partnerships, Response, Assessment (CAPRA) community policing model, which lies at the heart of the RCMP's intelligence-led, community-based policing philosophy. Jennifer Buntman of the New York City Police Department, Intelligence Division, provided a case study on the importance of intelligence in prevention strategies. Finally, José Fernández Duarte from Spain reported on the European Union Working Group on Terrorism, which took place during the Spanish presidency of the European Union in the first semester of 2010.
The summit was closed out by the fifth panel titled Future/Summary, facilitated by Andrew Castor, deputy assistant director, Counterterrorism Division, FBI. Ivan Gelbard from the Europol Counter Terrorism Unit stated, "Prevention is the key which can be applied to all crime, and that radicalization is not just a police problem, it is a societal problem." He was joined in the panel by Laurent Moscatello, assistant director of INTERPOL's Public Safety and Terrorism Sub-Directorate. Haider Shah of the Counter Terrorism Executive Directorate of the United Nations talked about different perceptions of the threat and great challenges to a global response to the problem.
He stated,
At the national level, the response needs to be broad, holistic, and integrated. The need for international cooperation, including mutual legal assistance, in dealing with incitement to commit terrorist acts cannot be stressed more. There is also great scope for regional and subregional cooperation, which remains an untapped potential. Regional organizations can play their role more effectively since they are closer to the scene and are better placed to understand the issues of their region.
There is a need to empower and enlist women as a resource and as an active partner in addressing incitement. For example, women can provide a vital perspective on youth rehabilitation programs in different societies.
By all accounts the conference was a success, in no small part thanks to the hard work of the conference host, the French Ministry of Interior, and members of the French National Police. This summit was made possible through generous donations from the Motorola Corporation and the Target Corporation.■
