Many people suffered severe cuts and burns, while others suffered severe shock. At the Indian government's request in Maharastra, local Red Cross volunteers and staff were immediately mobilized to provide first aid to the injured and help take care of incoming patients at the Sion hospital in central Mumbai.
Dozens of trained Red Cross volunteers have been travelling in ambulances between the different train stations hit by the explosions, helping to transport people to hospitals and taking bodies to the city's mortuaries.
The volunteers have also been working to contact family members of people who were killed or hurt in the blasts.
So far, the Maharastra Red Cross branch has provided 37 units of blood to the Bhava hospital.
Mumbai, previously known as Bombay, is India's financial capital. The city's suburban train system carries more than six million people each day, making it one of the busiest commuter lines in the world.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a preseason win at home, and it was the first time fans saw the team in action since the playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts on January 4. The Chiefs had some ups and downs in their first preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals and will look to make those adjustments against the Carolina Panthers.
Considering this is a preseason game, Chiefs fans will mostly judge the team's starters on how they do against Carolina's starters. How long can we expect the starting quarterbacks for each team to be on the field?
Randy Covitz of The Kansas City Star writes that Andy Reid announced Alex Smith would play the entire first half Sunday night.
As for the Panthers, Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that quarterback Cam Newton is expected to play at least one quarter, making his preseason debut. Newton did not play in Carolina's preseason opener due to his ankle, which he had surgery on during the offseason.
The main storylines and a lot of the talk will surround the activities in the first quarter since it appears the starters for both teams will stay on the field for at least that time.

Cedar Key is going to have a Community Garden, work has already been started, on the site.
At the Garden Club meeting on Nov. 9, the membership overwhelmingly showed support, for a suggestion that was made to establish a Community Garden.
This was due to the fact that a parcel of land, which is 50' x 100', was offered, on a long term basis, to establish a Community Garden. The lot is located on 2nd Street in the same block as the Island Hotel and goes to 3rd Street.
The Cedar Key Woman's Club hosted a reception Thursday, Dec. 10, at The Island Hotel, to honor the photographic contributors for the 2016 Cedar Key Calendar. Pictured left to right are Coordinator Vicky Crumpley, Ann Kamzelski, Wanda Davis, Joan Selby, Frank Morgan, Hans Henning Bunge, Henry Coulter, Rita Baker, Heath Davis, Carol Sakellarios, and Jeffrey Schleede in front. Other photographers included Rory Brennan, Laia Gore, Christine Ford, Debbie Tsimpedes, Steven Deam, J.D. McCormick, Jim Wilcox, Jackie Lambert, Galina Binkley, and Donna Bushnell.
There will be an opening reception on Saturday, Jan. 9, from 5 to 7 p.m. for sculptor Leland Williams at the Cedar Key Arts Center.
All are invited. Appetizers, drinks and conversation will be available to all.
Come share a little time with the art community of Cedar Key as we enjoy the art produced by the Florida sculptor and miniature painter Leland Williams and quilter Gayle Wolfe.
Nothing says Cedar Key more than a group of canines, and the Cedar Key Woman's Club Canine Companions Parade said it all! Raising awareness for the Wounded Veterans Initiative, the event in the Cedar Key Park last Thursday brought together pooches and people and also raised funds towards new Canine Companions.
The Birds of a Feather 2016 Open Art Show will run until Sunday, March 27.
Cedar Key is uniquely situated in the middle of the Lower Suwannee and Cedar Key National Wildlife Refuge and is bisected by Florida's Birding Trail and home to nationally recognized shore bird habitats. What better location to highlight the artists that create art focused on our feathered friends. Come share a little time with the art community of Cedar Key as we enjoy the art produced by regional artist that reflect this month's theme, Birds of a Feather.
The Cedar Key Woman's Club Annual Fashion Show & Luncheon will be Wednesday, March 16 at the Cedar Key Community Center. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for shopping from vendors.

Featured Golf News
Muhleman to Receive 2011 Joe Dey Award
Inez "Nez" Muhleman of Houston, who has dedicated herself to the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship and assisted young female golfers from Texas for more than three decades, has been named the recipient of the 2011 Joe Dey Award from the United States Golf Association.
Muhleman will officially retire from the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship Committee in December after 31 years of service. She will receive the award at the USGA's Annual Meeting on February 5 in Phoenix. The Joe Dey Award, which has been given since 1996, recognizes an individual's meritorious service to the game as a volunteer. The award is named for Joseph C. Dey Jr., who served as the USGA's executive director for 35 years, from 1934 to 1969, and later became the first commissioner of the PGA Tour.
Whether overseeing sectional qualifiers for the U.S. Girls' Junior, serving as a rules official at the national championship or establishing a fund to help defray travel expenses, Muhleman has strived to ensure that every junior golfer from her adopted state of Texas had a positive and memorable experience.
"It means the world to me," said Muhleman of the honor. "You do something like this because of the love of the game and you don't think about receiving an award. If someone says, 'Thanks, Nez,' that's great."
"Beyond the sheer length of Nez's service to the USGA is her true devotion to the game," said John Kim, chairman of the Joe Dey Award Committee and a member of the USGA Executive Committee. "She sets new standards for volunteers. She embodies all of the attributes that distinguish past and future recipients of the Joe Dey Award."
Seven years after joining the Girls' Junior Committee in 1980, Muhleman created the Girls' Junior Travel Fund for Texas-based qualifiers. What began with a modest $250 of her own money quickly evolved into a fund that has provided reimbursement for airfare and caddie fees to every Texas qualifier, more than 340 girls to date.
The genesis of the fund came in 1987 when an alternate from Muhleman's qualifying site had to turn down a last-minute invitation to the Girls' Junior at The Orchards in South Hadley, Mass., due to the high cost of the airfare. Muhleman wasted no time making the rounds at her club, allied golf associations within Texas and local businesses. Today, the fund can support every Texas qualifier, which this year totaled 11 golfers.
"It's inspiring to have a committee member who is willing to donate that much time and energy to the Girls' Junior," said Cece Durbin, a member of the USGA Women's Committee and the chairman of the Girls' Junior Championship Committee.
When Muhleman moved to the Houston area from her native Georgia, she wanted to continue her involvement in the game, which began at Atlanta Country Club. She started at her home club, Riverbend Country Club, where she went on to become president of the women's golf association. She moved on to the Houston Golf Association, and in 1982, she became president of the Women's Texas Golf Association, which in 2007 established a scholarship in Muhleman's name.
In 1980, she was asked to join the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship Committee, and despite two bouts with lung cancer and heart-bypass surgery, she attended every U.S. Girls' Junior from 1980-2010.
Several of the players Muhleman has assisted have gone on to successful professional careers, including 1994 U.S. Girls' Junior champion Kellie Kuehne, Brittany Lang, Stacy Lewis, Angela Stanford and Wendy Ward, all of whom competed in the Curtis Cup Match and now play on the LPGA Tour. Others such as 2010 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links runner-up Lisa McCloskey of Houston are blossoming into elite amateurs.
"It's just been absolutely the most wonderful career and experience that I could have possibly had," said Muhleman. "I can be down in the dumps from my health issues or my husband's health issues and then I have a call from one of my juniors, and it just perks me up."

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Get ready for a show.
A new meteor shower could possibly hit the skies from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. tonight.
The meteor activity could happen as Earth cruises through the tail of Comet 209P/Linear for the first time. This has never happened before, so space experts aren't exactly sure how great a show it will be.
But it could be a good one, up to 400 meteors per hour. So Longway Planetarium astronomer Richard Walker isn't taking any chances.
"Me, I'm going to the local golf course," Walker said.
The idea, he added, is to get as far away from lights and in a wide-open space where you can see as much of the sky as possible.
To get the best view, lay flat on your back and try to take in the whole panorama, not just focusing on one spot.
And don't bother with the binoculars or telescope. You need a wider perspective.
"You need to make sure you can see the entire sky," Walker said.
According to MLive Meteorologist Mark Torregrossa, Michigan should have clear skies.
"There should only be between 10 and 20 percent cloud cover at most. This limited amount of cloud cover should allow for excellent viewing of the possible meteor shower," Torregrossa wrote.
According to the National Weather Service, the Flint area is expecting only about 17 percent cloud cover. This is slightly better than some nearby areas, like Saginaw (25 percent) and Port Huron (27 percent).
Want to impress your stargazing buddies? Learn to pronounce the shower's name. It's a mouthful: Camelopardalids (CA-mull-oh-PAR-duh-lids). It's named after the giraffe constellation.

It's 2 a.m. You're writhing in pain. Has the Big Bad Deficit come to kill you in your bed? Cheer up. Doc Raymond's on the way.
We're told the federal budget should be managed like a household budget. Republican House Leader John Boehner's quite certain: "Every family in America has to balance their budget." Most voters believe that balancing the federal budget would "significantly increase economic growth and create millions of American jobs," according to Politico.
But it's entirely false. "The trouble ain't what people don't know. It's what they know that ain't so." (Mark Twain)
Robert Shiller, Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman (economics Nobel Prize winners) have explained the difference between a family budget and a national budget. It's pretty obvious. A family's small. Uncle Sam's family is 319 million people, namely, the American economy. A family is a small closed system; an economy is a huge open system. The father's spending is not the mother's income. But my spending is your income; your spending is someone else's income, etc., etc. There's a "multiplier effect" as spending ricochets around the economy creating jobs.
Uncle Sam can issue bonds to raise money. These are impressive IOUs with low interest rates. He can raise taxes. And he can print money, then burn it later if inflation becomes a problem. Inflation isn't even remotely a problem right now. (The Economist, Nov. 9, 2013)
Uncle Sam doesn't die. Unlike a family, he can borrow forever. In fact, Sam has borrowed forever (well, since 1836). Yes, the size of the debt has increased over the years, but so has the size of the economy. What matters is the ability to pay the interest out of current earnings, just as wtih any other debt.
Right now, America's debt and earnings are about the same. Put formally, the debt-to-GDP (gross domestic product) ratio is around 100 percent. So what? After WWII, it was around 120 percent. And there were millions of unemployed soldiers. But rather than cut spending, we grew the nation out of this debt with MORE government spending. "Look after the unemployed and the budget will look after itself." (John Keynes, economist)
Notable efforts were building the interstate highways and sending GIs to college. So more people were put to work, they had more money to spend, more businesses hired more people to supply the higher demand, etc., etc. Ever heard how the Hoover Dam workers got Las Vegas going? Sam did the same for the entire nation. Americans were earning more money and paying more taxes. As a result, the debt-to-GDP ratio (Sharper Focus, "Debt and Taxes, Part I") fell from around 120 percent to around 30 percent in 1975. So, why don't we do this again?
We did. Lest we forget, President Obama approved a "stimulus" to pull the economy out of its fatal nosedive in 2009. But it was tiny. The poor sap thought he'd get Republicans to buy into it. Brainless Republicans attacked all stimulus efforts, like a sinking warship firing on the rescuers.
Why so? The super-rich weren't affected much by the Great Recession of 2008. Republicans aren't worried about you plebs. They care only for the super-rich. President Bush Junior even said that his base was the "haves and the have-mores." Next time you drive to Las Vegas, and fume over that miserable two-lane highway, remember that God gave you a brain. Use it. Kick out Republicans like Paul Ryan who won't make it three lanes. Their friends have private jets. Vote Republican only if you have a private jet.
If you must worry about a deficit, worry about the Deficit on Current Account. This is mostly the excess of imports over exports. It's massive, around $400 billion, every year. After 10 years, that's the entire cost of WWII. It's wealth siphoned out of the economy, leaving workers unemployed. But importing cheap stuff makes the super-wealthy even wealthier, so Republicans couldn't care less. Republicans aren't worried about you plebs.
If you must worry about debt, worry about household debt. Since 1975, Americans have not been paid higher wages in line with higher productivity (earlier Sharper Focus, "Short of Money?"). To make ends meet, Americans went into debt, big-time. This was one of the causes of the Great Recession.
This household debt, around 81 percent of GDP (http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred), is holding the economy back. Yes, it's fallen substantially, but Americans are still paying it down. This means we're not spending that money to keep the economy going. It's like the sand trap that wrecks your golf game. Economically speaking, we're in a "liquidity-trapped demand-deficient economy." The super-rich aren't affected, so Republicans don't worry about it. Frankly, Scarlett, Republicans aren't worried about you snot-nosed plebs.
Well, Doc Raymond had good news. It's only food poisoning. You'll be OK. Finally it dawns on you. Thanks to Republican stupidity, there were cutbacks on food inspections.

Is Your Teen Depressed? How To Know, and What to Do
The teen years are full of many changes – changing bodies, changing schools, and making important choices for the future. A teen's life is very full and, for some, can become overwhelming. What can parents and families do to help teens that may experience feelings of depression, or try to cope by abusing drugs?
"Depression is a medical illness," said Kelly Rogalski, M.D., the medical director of outpatient pediatric psychiatry for Henry Ford Health System. "Teen depression can be triggered by many factors. Common stressors in teens include the demands of school, peer relationships, family life, physical or sexual abuse and, many times, feeling overwhelmed from balancing too busy of a schedule."
Substance abuse, including marijuana use, can frequently trigger depression. "But there doesn't always need to be a cause," Rogalski said.
Teen depression is common. "Twenty percent of teens will experience depression by the age of 18," Rogalski said. "Approximately 8 percent of teens are currently experiencing depression." She noted that although depression is common, most teens are not getting the treatment they need. "Depression treatments are both safe and effective."
To identify symptoms of depression in your teen, Rogalski recommends looking for the following possible signs of concern: less attention to appearance, isolating behaviors, irritability, decline in grades, dropping out of activities once enjoyed, drug use, suicidal thoughts or comments about death, insomnia, anxiety and frequent physical complaints, like headaches and stomach aches.
Any comments a teen makes about death or suicide should be taken seriously. "Depressed teens frequently experience suicidal thoughts with up to 60 percent having suicidal thoughts," Rogalski said. Some parents are concerned about bringing up suicide for fear that it will plant the suggestion in their minds, but Rogalski said that's an unfounded fear. "It is safe to ask your teen about suicide, and this should be done in a caring, nonjudgmental and straightforward manner," she said.
If you suspect that your teen may suffer from depression, suicidal thoughts or is abusing drugs, contact a mental health professional. Rogalski advises seeking a psychiatrist specifically trained to work with children and adolescents. "Some treatments differ from adults, and extra training is needed to work with children, but not all psychiatrists have this training," she said. "Henry Ford Health System has one of the largest teams of board-certified pediatric psychiatrists and pediatric psychotherapists in southeast Michigan."
Henry Ford Health System's child and adolescent psychiatric department offers inpatient, outpatient and substance abuse services. Individual, family and parental guidance therapy are available, as well as group therapy for teens and children.
Kingswood Hospital in Ferndale cares for children and teens needing inpatient care. Maplegrove Center in West Bloomfield specializes in substance abuse, and there are five outpatient clinics throughout metro Detroit.
Henry Ford also has one of the nation's only walk-in clinics for comprehensive outpatient pediatric psychiatry, located in Dearborn. No appointment is necessary for the teen to be seen by a child and Adolescent psychotherapist and pediatric psychiatrist. Call 800-422-1183 for days and times.
If you believe a child or teen may require an evaluation for depression, or need other services, visit the Henry Ford Health System website, – or call 800-HENRYFORD to schedule an appointment.

EVERYBODY'S a multitasker these days. And thrilled with devices that can do more with less. The onslaught started years ago in the kitchen, of all places, with the likes of those multifunction ("but wait, there's more") slicer/dicer/choppers/churners immortalized by TV pitchman Ron Popeil. Now there's a whole lotta shaking, baking and making going on in the kitchen kapers department.
Dyson Hard: If British inventor Sir James Dyson has his way, we'll soon keep a variety of Dyson vacs - little and tall, battery-powered and plug-in - around the house. The new Hard ($329.99 at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond) is the first to combine dust-sucking and washing in a slim-line, cordless stick. Hard's also dandy for tile and wooden floors. And converts to a hand vac.

One of the ways that many parents teach their children money management skills is by paying an allowance. An allowance, whether a true allowance or payment for chores [3], provides your children with their own money to manage. The idea is to provide children with a way to develop good money habits from a young age.
At some point, though, it is no longer necessary for you to pay children an allowance. You have probably increased the amount of allowance [4] you pay as your child grows. However, as your child begins to make his or her own money, you can start paying less — or even stop paying allowance altogether.
Does Your Child Still Need Money from You?
Your first determination to make is whether or not your child still needs money from you. When your child is younger, and his or her options for earning money are limited, money from you is important. However, older children begin getting jobs, and earning their own money. At that point, you can revisit your allowance policy.
An after school job [5] can be a great way for teens to earn money. In many cases, your teen can earn more with such a job than he or she receives from you. Review your child's income. Assess what expenses you expect him or her to pay. You can start encouraging your child to cover more of his or her expenses when he or she makes more money.
In some cases, your teen's after school job may not provide enough money to completely cover what he or she is expected to pay. In those circumstances, you can continue providing an allowance, but explain that you will reduce the amount you pay, since your teen can supplement some of the money on his or her own.
Paying Allowance in College
My parents stopped paying me an allowance when I went to college. They stepped down what they gave me as I earned more from my job as a cashier at a craft store, and from teaching piano, and when I moved out, I was expected to be more responsible for my weekly expenses (I got a part-time job in the university cafeteria). However, in a way, my parents still gave me an allowance of sorts. While they didn't give me a weekly amount, they did pay for my housing while I was at school. This eased matters for me, and I covered all my other expenses.
Other parents, though, still consider college as a "job," and provide an allowance to help students cover their expenses. What you do depends on your priorities and preferences, and what you have agreed on with your student.
Bottom Line
At some point, though, you do need to stop paying an allowance. Whether you do this when you teen gets his or her first after school job, or whether you wait until after your child graduates form college, is up to you. If you want your child to become financially independent, at some point you have to stop giving them money, even if they "earn" it through chores.

MOBILE, Alabama – A second person has been arrested in connection with the March 20 fatal shooting of a 31-year-old U.S. Coast Guard member stationed in Mobile.
Christopher Anthony Williams, 25, was arrested today in the Atlanta area and is charged with murder in connection to the fatal shooting of Robert "Andrew" A. Roberts.
His arrest comes one day after 25-year-old Shaniah Michele Woods was arrested in the same vicinity and booked on a similar murder charge.
Both will be extradited to the Mobile County Jail later today, according to Ashley Rains of the Mobile Police Department. They are both being held in the Clayton County, Ga., Detention Facility, although no records of Williams' arrest were available Saturday afternoon.
The arrests were made with the assistance of U.S. Marshals.
While police continue with their investigation, Rains said no other arrests are likely.
"We believe this is going to be the final arrest," she said.
The connection between the two suspects and Roberts is unclear, although Rains said Friday that Roberts knew Woods.
Roberts was found shot near his clavicle in the parking lot of the Baymont Inn and Suites on West I-65 Service Road South. He was pronounced dead on the scene around 9:50 p.m.
Officials believe Roberts got into a "physical altercation" with the people before the shooting.
He was buried in New York on Wednesday.
Homicide Detectives will continue the
investigation. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the
Mobile Police Department at 251-208-7211.

Bills working their way through Congress would give patients the right to sue manufacturers for injuries incurred from medical devices approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The intent of the bills, the Medical Device Safety Act of 2009 (HR 1346 and S 540 [http://thomas.loc.gov]), is to overturn a 2008 Supreme Court ruling (Riegel vs Medtronic). The ruling held that FDA approval of a device prevents a person injured by that device from suing the manufacturer in a state court.

My dear Eric.. there are a great many ships here, some very large ones. There is one from Norway, and a French one unloading at the quay. Some of the sailors have little dogs, and cocks and hens on the ships. I have read about the owl & pussy cat, who went to sea in a pea green boat, but I never saw anything of that kind til today. I was looking at a ship called the Pearl of Falmouth which was being mended at the bottom because it had rubbed on a rock, when i heard something grunt!'

on October 27, 2012 - 9:29 PM
An audit of selected operations in the city Parking Department reveals that one company is receiving nearly 90 percent of the city's private towing business.
The city comptroller's report shows that from January 2011 through March 2012, Riverside Towing and Recovery had 89 percent of city business among private contractors, or $89,810, while two other contractors, Jim Mazz Auto Inc. and South Buffalo Auto Parts, each had about $5,780 in business.
The long-awaited audit was filed with the Common Council this week and had been in the works for about a year. The audit began before Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder took office in January, and its completion was delayed by the firing of former city auditor Darryl McPherson, said comptroller spokesman Patrick Curry.
Parking Commissioner Kevin Helfer declined to comment directly on why one company was receiving so much towing business, but he said Mayor Byron W. Brown is aware of the situation and that he would be willing to discuss it with the Council during an executive session.
He also declined to comment on the comptroller's suggestion that new bids for towing services be sought, based on state procurement law that requires purchases of more than $35,000 to be formally bid. The audit states that current contracts date back to March 2000.
The city changed its towing policy in May after a federal investigation into allegations of bribery and the murder of a tow truck driver.
Under the policy, the city has an authorized list of towing companies, and the companies are rotated weekly. The first tow truck that is called in the case of an accident is from the city's Police Department, Helfer said.
The audit focused on the department's towing and storage operations, as well as its auto auction procedures.
It follows a guilty plea from May 2011 in which the superintendent of the city's fleet operations, John R. Womer, admitted skimming money from the city's impounded car auctions.
Womer, who resigned from the city, paid $8,575 in restitution. He was caught after Helfer started at the department and instituted better internal controls, Helfer said.
An earlier version of the audit noted that since the arrest of two employees accused of stealing quarters from parking meters, meter revenue has increased 38 percent.
Helfer said that though the revenue increase was good news, it wasn't relevant to the audit, because the comptroller's investigation concerned towing and storage, not parking meter operations.
The audit credits Helfer's leadership and better advertising with the growth in revenue – 77 percent from 2009 to March 2012 – from the city's auction of impounded cars.
The audit also suggested changes to the city's impound lot, including computerization of inventory, but Helfer said a manual count is more effective.

Source One has teamed with noted BPO expert, George Brooke, and has released a new whitepaper providing a high-level outline of the processes necessary to ensure a successful BPO implementation. This whitepaper outlines seven steps, starting with internal evaluation and ending with negotiation and implementation. "Seven Steps to BPO Success" details the questions companies need to ask themselves when they are looking to outsource a business process and helps them to recognize when doing so would be advantageous to their business.
"BPO providers that also propose to host and license the enabling applications on which the in-scope transactions are performed may be of great convenience and benefit, but require a much more comprehensive, two-phased evaluation. We strongly recommend an evaluation of the application "fit" first and then a separate evaluation of the competitiveness of the BPO capabilities."

An alternative pluralization of boxes. In 60-80s hacker lingo (when hacker ment something very different, btw), it originated from vax/vaxen (the, at the time, correct way to referr to two or more vax computers). Because of this unusual pluralization, it because common to use -en instead of -es or whatever else was correct for all words ending in x or with an x sound, such as soxen or socksen for more then one sock. Box was/is usually referring to a computer (pc, server, workstation, whatever).

ECOSOC High-Level Meeting with IFIs Addresses Financial Crisis, MDGs
11 March 2011: A two-day High-Level Meeting of ECOSOC with the Bretton Woods Institutions, the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was held in New York, US, from 10-11 March 2011, and addressed pressing issues related to the global financial crisis and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The meeting included a short opening plenary with brief statements by the Heads of relevant intergovernmental bodies and other senior officials, and informal thematic debates on: the follow-up to the 2010 MDG Summit outcome; the role of the UN system in global economic governance; financial support for development efforts of Least Developed Countries (LDCs); and financial support for development efforts of Middle-Income Countries.
Opening the meeting, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon encouraged participants to make the most of the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio 2012), and to take an integrated approach to the challenges of recovering from the financial and economic crisis, devastating natural disasters and the impacts of climate change, underlining that they continue to jeopardize development gains. He called for increased investments in job creation, food security, health, clean energy, infrastructure and climate adaptation. Ban also underscored that the world's poorest countries continue to confront significant levels of poverty and hunger, and that they are among the most vulnerable to climate impacts.
During the panel on "Financial support for development efforts of Middle-Income Countries: development cooperation, trade, capital flows, policy space and reserve system," middle income countries expressed their concerns that the development of a "green economy" would lead to "green protectionism" in trade, blocking exports from those countries. Countries also discussed the "Role of the United Nations system in global economic governance," in light of other groups like the G20 taking the lead in tackling the latest global financial crisis.
These discussions are expected to feed into the Development Committee Discussions to take place during the World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings in April 2011. [Meeting Website] [Ban's Statement] [Note from Secretary-General (Document E/2011/74)] [UN Press Release]

Review: 'The Big C' - 'Losing Patients': The truth wins out
"The Big C" returned to Showtime tonight, and I have a few thoughts on where the show finds itself at the start of season 2, coming up just as soon as I pose as a pharmaceutical rep...
I stopped writing about "The Big C" after only 4 episodes of the first season, deciding that I didn't like Laura Linney enough to overcome my fierce dislike of Cathy Jamison. Simply put, Cathy's decision to keep her cancer a secret from her family was a choice that didn't seem to provide nearly as much benefit as either she or the creative team thought it did, so I bailed. I watched bits and pieces of the rest of the season, was pleased to see Cathy finally tell her husband and son the truth, and looked forward to seeing how the show worked going forward with that on the table.
And, indeed, I found the start of season 2 (I've seen 4 episodes) much more palatable than season 1. Both Cathy and the show still tend to come across more smugly than they realize, but the possibilities created by honesty are a lot more interesting to me than everyone wondering why Cathy seems to have lost her damn mind. The Cynthia Nixon character's reaction to the news -Â "You're gonna be my first really good friend that has had cancer! I will be forever changed!" - was priceless, and Cathy and Paul are much more entertaining when they're working together than when they were constantly yelling at each other last year.
I imagine this is at best going to be a show I like but don't love, but it's nice to see a series find a way to fix its greatest flaw. (Though, given the evolution of the story, I imagine people would have found out by now, regardless of how people reacted to season 1.) Probably not something I'm going to write about weekly, but at least not something I'm going to grit my teeth through the majority of the airtime.
When I dropped the show from the rotation last year, reaction was mixed between those who had already given up and those who loved Cathy and didn't understand why others didn't. For thos of you still watching the show, how did you feel about the premiere?

The company on Monday is expected to detail changes to its server product licensing to better accommodate virtualization software, an emerging technology that big companies are eyeing as a way to consolidate servers and cut costs.
Advocates argue that virtualization lets companies reduce the number of servers they need by letting jobs run more efficiency on a smaller number of machines. Virtualization software such as Microsoft's Virtual Server, EMC's VMware and XenSource's Xen lets a server simultaneously run multiple operating systems, or multiple instances of the same operating system. Each instance essentially behaves as a self-contained computer.
Bottom line:
What's new:
Microsoft will change its licensing practices to address emerging technology called virtualization. Rather than charge per physical processor, server products will be priced based on the number of instances that are running.
Microsoft executives said the new pricing scheme is meant to encourage use of virtualization, where a single server runs multiple operating systems. Analysts said other software vendors will likely alter their policies for virtualization as well.
Bottom line:
Microsoft's new policy seeks to reconcile new technology and old licensing models. Starting in December, the company will calculate the cost of server software products by the number of running instances of that product on any given server, rather than the number of physical processors contained in that server.
The shift will benefit customers, Microsoft says, by allowing them to parse up the processing power of a machine in a cost-effective manner. The company is looking to expand the use of virtualization with its own products, within partner programs and through its pricing policies, said Andy Lees, Microsoft's corporate vice president of servers and tools marketing.
"Things like pricing and licensing get in the way of the adoption of technology," Lees said. "And customers want to know they're not heading down a cul de sac."
Before: the price of SQL Server is the license fee multiplied by the number of processors in a server. For example, $2500 x 4 processors, or $10,000.
After: Using virtualization software, customers can choose dedicate two "virtual processors" to SQL Server, rather than the four physical processors, to cut the price in half.
Source: Microsoft
Analysts were quick to note that the new policy also helps Microsoft stay one step ahead of competitors by staking out a policy that others will eventually be forced to respond to.
Any significant changes to license policies from virtualization and other emerging technologies pose potential risks for software vendors, said Gartner analyst Tom Bittman.
"Software vendors are scared--the whole paradigm is forcing them to change how they price and they don't want to reduce revenue in the whole picture," he said.
With the current policy, a company that runs a virtualized server application would have to pay for a full four-processor license even though only some fraction of the server is dedicated to running that application. Under the new policy, a company could choose to dedicate only two virtual machines to a server application on a four-processor machine, and pay accordingly.
The new policy is meant to set an example of how software vendors should cope with virtualization as it becomes more widespread, Lees said.
"The licensing scheme enables customers to utilize virtualization technology. Today that is not the case," Lees said.
More broadly, Microsoft's decision will likely cause other software makers to reassess their policies, said Gartner analyst Alvin Park.
"It will force other vendor to rethink their licensing strategies and over time will cause them to make changes to stay competitive with Microsoft," Park said.
Some of those companies, such as Oracle, SAP and BEA Systems weren't immediately available to comment on Microsoft's policy. A few

Putting Linux on a Sun SPARC machine
We all know Linux works smoothly on PCs, but the PC's x86 archictecture is just one of a range of platforms Linux supports. This article gives you a head start with setting up Linux on a Sun SPARC machine.
During the .com era, nearly every company was running on Sun systems, and the Sun SPARC platform was also a big part of the market share in academia. This abundance of SPARC machines means you can pick up a SPARC for not much money – you might even have an under-used SPARC sitting around your office. Linux has supported the SPARC platform for many years, and SPARC is still one of the most popular alternative platforms for Linux. In many ways, Linux on a SPARC is very similar to Linux on a PC, but if you want your SPARC installation to go smoothly, there are some differences you should keep in mind. This article describes some SPARC systems that work with Linux, some Linux systems that work with SPARC, and some details you'll need to know if you're putting Linux on a Sun.

communication by electronic mail, instant messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) "phone calls", two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web
with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking,and online shopping sites.
With the approach of education authorities and simultenaously the impact of the internet, football industry jumped and transferred into the web world with games and
other activities. All web companies began to simulate and chracterize the game with its rules on this different and brand-new ground.

A French-Canadian bishop, b. 26 April, 1798, at Ile-aux-Grues, P. Q.; d. 13 October, 1870. He studied theology at the Seminary of Quebec, where he taught rhetoric. Ordained in 1822, he was successively chaplain at St. Roch, pastor of St. François, Isle of Orléans, of the joint parishes of L'Ange-Gardien and Chateau-Richer. While rector of Notre Dame de Quebec, he displayed apostolic zeal and charity during three visitations of cholera (1832, 1834, 1849), and the horrors of typhus (1847), assisting many Irish orphans. He was made Bishop of Tloa and coadjutor to Archbishop Turgeon of Quebec, 23 February, 1851; being the first Canadian bishop since the conquest appointed without the intervention of the British Crown. He became administrator in 1855 and succeeded as Archbishop of Quebec, 26 August, 1867. He attended the Vatican Council. He published a French translation, with commentary, of the New Testament (2d ed., 1865), lauded by Pius IX, "Recueil d'Ordonnances" (1859), and over thirty important Pastoral Letters, besides many other official documents.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

ContentsStaggering Your FoesClassesEidolons Final Fantasy 13 introduces the Paradigm Shift system, which is based on a few simple concepts. The real battle is to fill the Chain Gauge that you see in the corner for each enemy, after which it's possible to focus on the hit-points. While you're doing this, you'll need to switch your party to various combat roles, which is where the Paradigm Shift comes into play -- it's like having multiple parties at once!
Staggering Your Foes
Sometimes it will be quite easy to stagger an enemy, and sometimes it will seem like nothing will get that gauge moving. The trick is to attack with the Commando role, which will automatically slow the gauge's recovery, then strike hard with magic attacks from Ravagers. This basic tactic will be of immense help when facing some of the tougher enemes and bosses.
After clearing the first couple areas, you will be given access to a variety of classes. Different characters will start off with different roles, which should inform how you use them in battle. Here's a quick overview of each class.
Special Trait: Adds a percentage bonus to the damage dealt to enemies
The standard attacking class, which is represented in the beginning by Lightning. This class will be primarily used to deal as much damage as possible, particularly after the Chain Gauge reaches its maximum.
Special Trait: Adds a fixed amount to the Chain Gauge; can stack with other Ravagers
These magic users quickly drive up the Chain Gauge with their magic attacks. Vanille splits time between Ravager and Medic, and will contribute magic attacks when you're on the offensive.
Special Trait: Reduces the damages to the party from physical and magic attacks
The defensive class is at its best when fending off attacks from foes. Snow is the only character with access to this class in the early going, and you probably won't be seeing him very much. When you do have access to Sentinel, activate it ahead of a particularly devastating attack.
Special Trait: Increases the success rate of all status attacks.
If you want to give your enemies trouble, have one character act as a Saboteur while your other characters act as Synergists. That will allow your party to pick up positive status effects like Protect while the enemy struggled with negative status effects of their own.
Special Trait: Increases the duration of offensive and defensive status effects
The best way to strengthen your party is to make use of a Synergist. These guys are particularly useful ahead of a boss battle, since they add lots of positive status effects like Bravery and Faith. With the extra strength, you can take down your foes that much faster.
Special Trait: Increases HP recovery by a percentage
Your primary healers are the Medics. Chances are you'll only need one character to take on this role early on, but two healers might be ideal as you encounter foes that dish out heavier damage. When setting up your attacking Paradigms, leave these guys out to avoid watering down the damage.
Eidolons are Final Fantasy 13's summon monsters, and will likely serve as your strongest attackers for a good portion of the game. Characters each receive their own Eidolons, which all have their own special abilities. Summoning an Eidolon requires a certain number of TP Points, and they will fight for you until the Summon Point bar is empty.
After the summon has appeared, you can activate Gestalt Mode by pressing the Square Button. This functions as a special attack that does massive damage over a set time limit. When the timer runs out, the summon will vanish and the party will have all of their health and status effects restored. Check out the Meet the Party section if you want to see which Eidolon corresponds with which character.GO TO BASIC TIPS & STRATEGIESGO TO MEET THE PARTYGO TO UPGRADE MATERIALS GUIDEGO TO CHAPTER 01: HANGING EDGE

Lighting candles, a ritual in many religious traditions, is an act of prayer, a moment of intention. A deliberate, conscious gesture of placing flame to wick slows time, forces reflection, and engenders stillness inside one's heart, bringing the noise and chaos of the external world to a halt. Candles can symbolize a vigil, a lamentation, a request, gratitude, celebration, or simple union with other believers. In Memorial II (cover), votives float on the surface of the painting and appear to lift themselves into the void from an indistinct blend of stylized sea and sky. The wraiths of crematory urns suspended in the miasma underscore the funereal theme; an eerie 3-dimensional effect startles and encourages close examination. Ross Bleckner (1949- ) executed a series of paintings in the 1980s and 1990s, emphasizing his deep concern for and dedication to those individuals who had contracted—and died of—infection with the human immunodeficiency virus and from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Memorial II belongs to that set of works; it is a perfect example of how Bleckner's passion brings forth his style.

How Gay Americans Went From Criminals to Brides, Grooms
Linda Hirshman's "Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution" is harder-headed than its giddy title suggests.
Most Americans over 40 have experienced the forward march of gay rights as the product of a gradual change in the social air. Hirshman, a retired professor and labor lawyer with a Ph.D. in philosophy, is more interested in the movement's legislative and judicial ups and downs, and she's got an opinion about every one of them.
She flays the obvious villains (Lewis Powell, Sam Nunn) and a few surprising ones (Tom Hayden). She goes after some of the heroes, too, for making strategic decisions she considers inept.
Nor does she get misty about the otherwise courageous men who laid the foundations of the movement in the frightening days before Stonewall but were tone-deaf to feminism and, in some cases, just plain didn't like women.
Her style is breezy (sometimes gratingly so), but her research is very solid; most of her best material comes from the more than 100 interviews she conducted. Her analysis of what makes social movements succeed is always thoughtful and sometimes profound.
No Pleading
Hirshman, who is straight, doesn't insult the reader by "defending" homosexuality or making an argument for equal rights; the day for that kind of pleading, her approach implies, is over. Anyway, she doesn't have time.
She's writing for a general audience, not an academic one, and she refuses to plod, covering a century of struggle in less than 350 pages of text. The result is always entertaining and frequently exhilarating.
As a lawyer, Hirshman is especially lucid on the Supreme Court -- more lucid, sometimes, than the court itself. In the notorious 1986 Bowers v. Hardwick, it upheld Georgia's right to criminalize sodomy, dismissing gay claims to equal protection as "facetious."
The decision had the paradoxical but predictable effect of electrifying a movement dispirited at that point by thousands of AIDS deaths and the Reagan Administration's indifference to them. A year later, the furiously inventive AIDS protest group ACT UP initiated a new phase in the fight for rights.
The antigay forces eventually went too far. In the 1996 Romer v. Evans, the court overturned an outrageous initiative that Colorado voters had passed depriving homosexuals of a whole gamut of legal protections that, it held, were "taken for granted by most people ... in a free society."
Clinton Years
That decision led the way to the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas, in which the court finally (if belatedly) overturned the repulsive Bowers v. Hardwick.
Hirshman chronicles the gloomy origins of Don't Ask Don't Tell early in the Clinton administration and the tortuous path to its abolition last year.
She shows how the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), restricting marriage to opposite-sex partners, "sailed through Congress" in 1996 and was signed into law by a cowardly Bill Clinton during "full campaign season."
After considerable squirming, the Obama administration backed away from the law; at the end of May, a federal appeals court ruled it unconstitutional.
Approaching Victory
Although Hirshman acknowledges that "Victory" is a title open to misinterpretation, her rationale for using it is clear. Her book demonstrates that the reversal in social attitudes toward gay men and lesbians, despite various (but always temporary) political and judicial setbacks, is itself irreversible.
When the question of marriage lands before the Supreme Court, it could disgrace itself with a repeat of Bowers v. Hardwick. But Hirshman very skillfully shows that, even if it does, down the road a court drawn from a less bigoted generation will inevitably send such a warped decision into the dustbin of history.
"Victory" is published by Harper (443 pages, $27.99). To buy this book in North America, click here.
