The story is HERE:
Former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels pledged to promote academic freedom when he became president of Purdue University in January, but newly released emails show he attempted to eliminate what he considered liberal "propaganda" at Indiana's public universities while governor.
Emails obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information Act request show Daniels requested that historian and anti-war activist Howard Zinn's writings be banned from classrooms and asked for a "cleanup" of college courses. In another exchange, the Republican talks about cutting funding for a program run by a local university professor who was ...

On March 22, 2013, U.S. President Barack Obama headed to Jordan for the final stop on the first foreign trip of his second term. He was greeted at Al-Hummar Palace in Amman by King Abdullah II and his son, Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah. The President and the King held a bilateral meeting, in which they discussed several issues of importance to both countries, including the ongoing conflict in Syria.
During a joint press conference, President Obama praised Jordan for its close cooperation on regional issues, remarking that, "His Majesty was the first Arab leader to publicly call on Assad to step down because of the horrific violence that was being inflicted on the Syrian people. Jordan has played a leading role in trying to begin a political transition toward a new government. We're working together to strengthen a credible Syrian opposition."
President Obama also announced support for those affected by the conflict in Syria. President Obama said, "Every day Jordanians are extending a hand of support to neighbors far from home, but this is a heavy burden. And the international community needs to step up to make sure that they are helping to shoulder this burden. The United States will certainly do our part. We are already the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people. Some of this has helped people here in Jordan, and today I'm announcing that my administration will work with Congress to provide Jordan with an additional $200 million in budget support this year, as it cares for Syrian refugees and Jordanian communities affected by this crisis."
Today, President Obama wrapped up his visit to the Middle East with a tour of Jordan's ancient city of Petra. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. View photos of the President's entire trip here.
Bruce W., USAF (Ret.) in Utah writes:
I recently submitted a recommendaton for the President's consideration. This proposal could potentially save hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. These savings could be used to return flying hours to units tasked under the US Nuclear Triad so they could be prepared to face the incrreasingly threatening rhetoric from North Korea. I submitted this info to David Simas at the White House and did not receive a reply. I hope he is in fact loyal to his boss. I believe the President may be interested in this proposal. It is low impact with huge savings for the government and the President. He could use these saved monies to help fund some of his proposals in his SOTU address a few months ago.

Okay, have a little sample of silver needle and brewed some up. It tastes a bit like soy beans. So maybe someone can give me a little direction? Of course, I'm assuming it's not supposed to taste like beans. I could be wrong.

Competitive pressures, aging domestic consumers, margin/growth pressures and a saturated domestic market are encouraging companies to pursue opportunities internationally. The flattening of the global world through new technologies is fueling this trend, which means that companies can more easily handle operations on a global scale that were once thought to be too complex. In order to succeed, companies need to ensure they are knowledgeable on the region's social/cultural/ geopolitical climate, its pricing and tax structures, and that they understand consumer market behaviors. Organizations need to think and act locally while operating globally.

Expert Q & A Answers About
For people who get out of breath easily, what are some ways to still enjoy sex?
I would like to know the easiest, least strenuous sexual positions for a man with emphysema so that he doesn't get too out of breath. It's been more than three years and it's getting frustrating to both of us.
Is it okay to ask my partner to do things my attendant would usually do?
If I'm totally frank about what works for me, sexually, it involves asking my partner to do things for me that are normally performed by an attendant. Isn't that too imposing, too much to expect?
How do I convince potential non-disabled partners that I can enjoy sexual activity?
The most satisfactory sexual experiences I've had are with other people with disabilities. That's fine, but how can I convince potential non-disabled partners that I have a libido and a responsive body?
I can't use my arms...how can I become more active in sexual positioning?
I can't use my arms to position myself because of my disability, so I feel locked into a very passive role. I hate asking my partner to make all the moves. How can I become more active in the relationship myself?
My partner's spinal chord injury makes me feel self-conscious...what are some ways we can bring equal pleasure into the bedroom?
I'm very attracted to a man with a spinal cord injury, but when we've tried to be intimate, I find that I'm very self-conscious because the focus is more on my pleasure than his. I'm used to there being an obvious sign of a man's arousal (erection) and I feel awkward being the only one who appears to be aroused.
I can't lift my legs...what are some different ways my husband and I can increase our pleasure?
I have multiple sclerosis and use a walker. I cannot lift my legs over or behind my husband when in the missionary position, and this limits my pleasure. How can I accommodate my husband and increase our pleasure?
Is a surrogate partner right for me?
I'm 36, and I've been a C2-3 quad for the last 15 years. In that time, I've never had a relationship. I feel so incredibly sexually frustrated I can hardly stand it anymore! I would like to meet a woman but I don't have much confidence and I have a poor self body image. I have a colostomy, a mucous trap and an indwelling catheter. Do you think a surrogate partner could help and how do I go about hiring one?
I'm a quad woman and I've only been able to have an orgasm from manual stimulation. Am I missing something?
I'm a woman and – due to muscular dystrophy – I'm a quadriplegic who uses a ventilator. I've also had a hysterectomy. Both of these changes came before I started sexual activity…so I can't compare "before" and "after." I've only ever had an orgasm from manual stimulation instead of intercourse. That's great, but am I missing something?
I'm a C5 quad and my girlfriend wants me to stimulate her anus...is that safe?
I'm a male C5 quad, and I like to perform oral sex on my female partner. She enjoys it, but after prolonged stimulation of her clitoris, she says it gets numb and orgasm is harder to reach. She wants me to stimulate her anus to give her clitoris a rest. Is this harmful?
My boyfriend is a quad. When I give him head, we leave his indwelling catheter in...is that safe?
I'm a healthy 46-year-old woman. My boyfriend is a 47-year-old quad. After being together a year, we've found many ways to be sexually intimate with each other...even though he can't have sexual intercourse. One of the things he enjoys is my giving him head. He has an indwelling catheter, which we usually leave in. Can I contract any infections from doing this? I'm concerned because he has frequent bladder infections.

I was wondering whether I should start to do a tea business as a hobby. I can do this as a non/minimum profit kind of thing. As long I don't make lost it is fine with me
What I mean is I would like to share good tea (mainly puerh) which are easily available here in Malayisa. There are many sellers here who have good tea, but they just don't have e-commerce to introduce/sell their tea.
Here I can get branded puerh (Dayi, Xiaguan, etc). There also quite a number of local custom brand puerh too, which some are good. Not to mention availability of aged puerh which Malaysia is known for one of the good place to store. For young tea, price wise here is still ok, cheaper than some other english online store but may be more expensive than some chinese online seller at china which you may have to be careful about authenticity. But for aged tea, here is usually cheaper as some were exported from Malaysia back to China.
I can even hunt for you items that you like and purchase for you, eg Ru Ware, Tea Pots, Tray, etc.
As I am personally going around exploring tea and making friends, I would like to share my experience with you guy in a non/minimum profit manner and not being a tea seller. I will rate tea based on independent or with my friends opinion, giving rating of what kind of taste the puerh is, and let you decide. Basically it is going to be review + selling site.
I don't intend to keep stock. It will most likely be a back2back order. You want, I check availability, You pay, I buy then send. My friend who is doing an e-Commerce biz is willing to let me use his service at a discounted price. It has payment gateway via Credit Card / Online banking and also delivery tracking system. There is even a 14 days buyers guarantee too. He said I can only receive the money 14 days after you received the goods. I think I shouldn't have problem coming out with some capital to do buy some tea (so long you don't order in container)
Before I start doing this, as I have never done this before, my concerns:-
1) If I do send tea will there be problem at my local customs or your customs?
2) Is there any country that I cannot send tea into?
3) Is there tax that I have to pay upon sending?
4) What if the tea went missing or damaged while delivering?
I have to do some homework, cause as much as I hope to do this as a hobby, I don't want to get myself into trouble

- About the brand
Splat Rebellious Colors Hair Coloring Kit creates a Splat of Rebellious Color!...Be expressive, be shocking, be extreme! The possibilities are endless!
Bleach ingredients: Ammonium Persilfate, Cellulose Gum, EDTA, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Kaolin, Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide, Potassium Persulfate, Silica, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Metasilicate, Ultramarine Blue.
Developer Ingredients: Deionized Water, Hydrogen Peroxide
Coloring Ingredients: Deionized Water, Phenylmethanol, Polyquaternium-7, VA/Crotonates, Methyl Paraben, Diazolidinyl, Urea. May contain CI Yellow3, Orange 7, CI Blue 1
Bleaching Directions:
For unbleached natural hair color, skip bleaching directions below, and go to coloring directions. For extreme, intense, shocking color, proceed with bleaching directions below.
Make sure hair is clean and dry. Wear a cape or towel over shoulders and clothing during application.
1.) Begin by slowly removing the cap on the Splat-Oxide bottle, (point bottle away from face) and carefully pour contents of Splat Lightening Bleach packet into bottle.
2.) Replace cap securely and shake well for 1 minute.
3.) Slowly remove cap while pointing away from face.
4.) Cut end of applicator tip before applying to bottle.
5.) With applicator tip in place, apply bleach to desired areas of hair immediately. To achieve best results, do not let mixture stand and settle after shaking. Do not apply if skin or scalp is broken or abraded. Do not apply directly to scalp. When using, keep mixture 1/4 inch off scalp area. Cover with plastic cap. When application is complete, remove bottle cap and rinse out. DO NOT leave contents inside bottle with cap on.
Bleach Processing Time:
Processing time depends on natural hair color and the condition and porosity of the hair. The darker and/or coarse the natural hair color is, the more time is needed to process. Check hair color after the minimum processing time by removing product from a small strand with a damp paper towel. Be sure to check progress after every 10 minutes to avoid over processing or damaging of hair. Resistant hair can process up to 1 hour. Make sure bleach remains moist during processing. When hair has reached pale blonde, rinse hair thoroughly, then shampoo and dry. Your hair is now ready to apply Splat color.
If deep vibrant color is desired, make sure hair is bleached to a very light pale blonde. Re-bleaching may be necessary for deep vibrant color. Do not apply bleach to hair that has been processed with metallic dyes.
Coloring Directions:
Dry hair thoroughly. Protect clothing with a cape or an old towel. Protect forehead area and ears with Vaseline to prevent staining of skin. Shake Splat color bottle thoroughly while pointing away from face.
Twist open tip, and squeeze color generously onto desired areas. Do not rub into scalp or it will stain. If color gets on your skin, wipe off with damp cloth immediately. Let color process for at least 30 minutes. (Use cap & dryer for best results) Rinse hair until the water runs clear. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Dry and style hair as desired.
Note: It is very important to make sure the water runs clear every time after you shampoo. Always use an old towel when drying hair, since the color will stain your towel. Keep product off of all bathroom and kitchen surfaces.
Timing Chart
Light Blonde to Dark Blonde = 30-35 minutes
Light Brown =35-45 minutes
Medium Brown =45-50 minutes
Dark Brown to Black =50-60 minutes
Splat hair dye can take your color from normal to wild. Choose from four extreme colors to suit your style. Each kit includes hair color, bleach, peroxide and gloves; results last up to 6 weeks.
Splat ColorsI used splat so many times. All times it has worked for me after i bleached it. What I did I left it on for approximately an hour. Then what I usually do is grab a blow dryer and dry it with that. Which in my case made the color more intense from the heat, Especially the purple. It might not have worked cause you didn't leave it on long enough. I have had my hair every single one of the splat colors. :) I was satisfied with everyone of them :)Nov 4, 2011DanibooHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair

Pink Fetish Hair DyeI was really excited to dip dye my hair pink, I had already bleached it a month before so I thought it would be a good time to finally dye it. Honestly, I did not get the results I wanted. First of all, the dye I applied all over the blonde part of my hair didn't dye all of it pink (there was still blonde parts). When all of it was finally pink, within 12 hours the dye faded from a bright pink to a dull blonde/pink. I was not happy at all. I do NOT recommend Splat whatsoever.Oct 23, 2011AlyssaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

SplatTo the people that got Splat on there skin. Use rubbing alcohol to get it off. It works. Other than that I to did not get the purple that was on the box it turned a maroon color with purple highlights. Just go to a salon to get the punk colors done. Its a little more expensive but worth it.Oct 22, 2011TigressHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair

Not True To ColorLusty Lavender Pros: Cheap! This kit is super cheap and it's really nice that everything comes with it. You get tons of color. Convenient. You don't have to go to a specialty store to buy it because it's sold at basic drug stores. I had dyed my hair about a week before I used this product and the bleach still worked. Cons: I strayed from the instruction manual to get desired results. My hair is very dark and I left the bleach on with my hair wrapped in foil for an hour and a half. My hair was quite light, but not white blonde. It was decidedly yellow with orange-y bits (though I suspect that has to do with the previous dying). I also left my color in for 2 hours, also wrapped in foil. My color is, at best, magenta with purple undertones. In the shade it looks more purple, but it is definitely more pink than anything else. This was a huge disappointment considering how long I left the dye in. The gloves that come with the kit are very cheap, and I wish the kit came with a mixing container of some sort. I also wish it came with a small brush, like the L'Oreal Colour Effects. Other things I've heard complaints about: I got dye on my hand and arm, and it washed out in just 1 or 2 washes, but I also did not unknowingly let the dye sit on my skin. I washed it immediately. I also got TONS of the dye on my towel after washing my hair. I just washed my (white) towel and it's only slightly off-color. That being said, I wouldn't recommend purposely laying on pillows and white towels - just in case. I also did not find the dye to be all that drippy. I've worked with much drippier dyes. If anything, I had trouble squeezing it out of the bottle because it seemed pretty determined to stay in. Also, I've washed my hair 3 times since I dyed it and it hasn't shown any signs of coming out. Perhaps that's because I left it in for two hours, but the dye seems to have stuck to my hair very well. I know this hasn't been the case for some other people. All in all, I think it's a good product, minus a HUGE downfall - the fact that my hair is pink, not purple as advertised. While I like the color and am pleased with the result, I would have been much happier if my hair had turned the color I was expecting it to. This is a huge downside to the product and it is why I am giving it only 3 stars.Oct 10, 2011JuliaHAIR TYPEBlack / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Don't Use On Dyed HairI have died my hair before and this dye did not take to any of the previously died hair, So now i have dull red-blonde ends and a bright purple head. Very unflattering. Also i normally need only one bottle of hair dye, but with this brand i needed two.Oct 7, 2011RoseHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Splat Is Amazing For MeI have always had good results with splat. They're color lasts just long enough, not too long, not too short. I find it not too messy, just as messy as any other. I've been dying my hair for awhile now, and have created a website dedicated towards helping people understand how dying your hair works. ( http://splathair.webs.com/ ) It's dedicated towards Splat! But it's got a lot of tips for hair coloring in general. You can post in the forum section as well and ask questions that I, or hopefully another, can help you with. It doesn't have to be about Splat. You'll be surprised by the information you find here. don't hesitate to take a look.Oct 4, 2011Cecelia / Nova ScotiaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair

Purple Scalp DyeShould have read the reviews BEFORE I bought this. I tried this today and while I haven't dyed my hair [brown] in awhile but it hasn't grown out either...but this color didn't take to my HAIR at all... however my scalp is a BRIGHT purple... sighSep 9, 2011Alethea / Central New York

Not So GreatI bought this product in blue to dye a streak of my hair. I followed the directions exactly. I left in on for 30 mins so it would last for 1 to 6 months (according to the directions). It turned out to be a turquoise color, probably due to my medium brown hair that turned blonde, instead white when bleached. That was okay, but then it only lasted about 3 days. My streak is now a dirty blonde/sea green color.I definitely wont be buying this again.Aug 20, 2011MaddieHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Oily Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Luscious Raspberries And Blue EnvyMy boyfriend and I decided to try out this dye he has more of a curly hair while i have the opposite straight/wavy hair. What we found was that the color basically washed right out and was already faded. the blue was more of a gray and the red is more pink. We both did bleach our hair and it isn't even vibrant so I am stuck with nasty bleached pinkish hair. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Try manic panic it works way better than this.Jul 31, 2011Nooo

Don't Even Bother With This ProductWhen I had first dyed my hair purple, I didn't use bleach. The dye completely washed out three days later, after I had left it on for more than it recommended. Yesterday, I tried it again but bleached it first. The color is dull, and I can see it fading already. Not to mention the dye gets everywhere, even after you completely rinse it out! It's stained my pillows and various things in my bathroom. Do not use.Jul 8, 2011BlehHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Sunday, March 18, 2012 - Pictures by Badmintonphoto (archive)
India's Saina Nehwal, who has not had the best of time with injuries in the last 18 months, showed some of her old fire as she retained the Yonex Swiss Open on Sunday.
The former world junior champion, who this week was replaced as the world No. 4 by China's Li Xuerui, outplayed second seed Wang Shixian of China in straight games to hold on to the only title she won in 2011.
Saina (left), who celebrated her 22nd birthday on Saturday, dominated the opening exchanges to race to a 11-3 lead in the first game.
Wang Shixian (below), however, managed to draw level at 17-17. Saina conceded two more points before closing out the first game.
The Chinese star took the lead in the second game, going up 11-8 at the break, but once again, faded towards the end as Saina finally returned to the winner's circle with a 21-19, 21-16, victory.
Saina had reached the quarter-final of the All England last week and in the other two BWF World Superseries tournaments this year, was a semi-finalist in Malaysia and reached the last eight in South Korea in January.
In the women's doubles, two young Chinese pairs, who have already tasted glory in Superseries tournaments, clashed to find out the winner of this Grand Prix Gold event.
China Masters winners Huan Xia-Tang Jinhua, who knocked out former world No. 1s Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui in the semis, had too much firepower for Japan Open champions Bao Yixin-Zhong Qianxin.
Although unseeded, Huan Xia-Tang Jinhua (left), had marched into the final without dropping a game and they continued their perfect record in the final with a dominating display to clinch the title with a score of 21-17, 2-10.
Bao Yixin-Zhong Qianxin had reached the final by upsetting third seeds Mami Naito-Shizuka Matsuo in the quarter-finals and top seed Ha Jung Eun-Kim Min Jung in the semi-finals.
Their earlier exploits took a toll and they were clearly a spent force in the title decider.

Filed under Core Blog, Cosmo Cricket
Today Linda Beeson shares a few simple steps to create this beautiful box that is perfect for your special Mother's Day gifts.
All you need is some Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions Core'dinations Cardstock, adhesive and a scoring tool and you can create this gorgeous project, too. One of the reasons we love Core'dinations is that is a sturdy cardstock that will stand up to scoring and projects such as this.
For more information on scoring, please use this link and check out our videos.
Linda started with a 5″ square and scored 1″ lines on each side.
After scoring, cut on the scored lines on both sides and adhere:
VOILA! You have a gorgeous gift box:
The Great thing about using Core Impressions is that the cardstock is embossed and ready to go!

When Renie Greenberg put down the telephone, she was still in a daze. Her immediate thought was that the cheerful clutter of her children's toys would have to be removed from the floor. First reactions are always superficial, so practical. But then she drifted back to her world of a decade before, when she and her friends were thirteen and their world was carefree, except for the typical catastrophes of teen-age life: tests, homework, rivals for the love of best friends. There was a mysterious teacher and a national contest. All the things that make a Bais Yaakov girlhood a marvelous experience. Then a genuine tragedy struck, in the form of a sudden accident and a seriously injured best friend. A world of make believe had become numbingly true, and the last page might not have a happy ending. Renie and the others had to grow up and grope with a tangle of hope and despair, of failure and triumph, of accepting and conquering an unexpected reality, of closeness and separation. The experience had faded with the years, and now the unexpected phone call had brought it back. In this very fine first novel, we relive it with Renie and her friends. Estie Florans has woven together suspense, warmth, humor, courage. She develops her characters; we know them; we laugh and thrill with them; and when we learn who was on the other end of Renie's phone call, we share her tense expectancy as she waits for the door to open to her past. This is a delightful book for young women of all ages.

The Common (or Eastern) Copperhead, Austrelaps superbus, is variable in colour and pattern, ranging from pale brown to black, with white edging on the scales of the upper lip. It has 15 mid-body scale rows, a single anal scale and single subcaudal scales. Adults are up to 1.7 m long.
Common or Eastern Copperhead Snake (dark form)Photographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
The Common or Eastern Copperhead prefers reasonably damp habitats, near streams or swampy areas. It is common and widespread at lower altitudes throughout southern Victoria.
It is active day and night and feeds on small vertebrates including frogs, lizards and small mammals. Females give birth to up to 30 live young in mid to late summer.
Copperheads are extremely dangerous and are capable of inflicting fatal bites. However, they are not usually aggressive and bites are uncommon.
If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continual direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound as the venom can confirm identification.

Hi Greg, a lot of the larger Australian venomous snakes will flatten their heads when threatened, although our snake expert has not seen a copperhead do it. She has seen tiger snakes and eastern brown snakes displaying this behaviour however.
Catherine - we've forwarded your question to our curator here, and she thinks the most likely candidate would be Common Copperhead. Red-bellied Black Snakes can have very indistinctly coloured or coppery bellies, however, I think that they just wouldn't be found commonly around Lorne. Other than that we would need a photo for identification. If you are able to get a photo, feel free to forward it to us via the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page
Hi Yoni,
Without a photo, we can't say for sure. Please refer to the Victorian Snakes page of our Bioinformatics website for further information.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Polaris Grill
This project is an existing Restaurant that was in need of refresh. A popular Columbus restaurant whose "…mission is to treat our customers as if they were guests in our homes." We wanted to create a New York Chop House type feel with urban renewal by utilizing the existing warm cherry wood creating a more elegant atmosphere. By using warm grey colors we created a more masculine feel. Solar shades and film were added to window to reduce direct sunlight. We added granite table tops to all of the tables for a more sophisticated feel. Softer lighting was added for a warmer feel. The white ceiling tile was replaced with a darker and warmer surface. Fabrics and carpet with modern patterns were used for a contemporary feel. The wine rack and planters were removed and new artwork was added as focal points.

Surely, you have a suggestion that will get us to ten attributes? Visionary. It's best to address a problem before customers realize that it's a problem. Provocative.

I guess this is aimed at Chinese greens because I have yet to experience Japanese greens, so this topic is split into two! Firstly, would anyone be able to recommend some Japanese green that would be nice to buy now, or should I wait till next spring/summer to have my first experience with it?
Now the real topic. How do you brew your green tea? When I first started drinking tea I brewed it western, then I thought gongfu was the way forward! But after buying off verdant tea and watching some of their videos, they are obsessed with grandpa brewing it in an open top glass (and I must say I enjoy grandpa brewing greens at low temperatures now, great while doing college work and tasty)! I found with my last batch of green that I couldn't get much flavour out of the tea gongfu, that realistically I was just western brewing on a small scale in the end because I had to leave it so long (that was a light tea though). So far I prefer western or grandpa, but I was wondering what you guys think? How do you brew your green tea? (Japanese is cool too, but I can only relate to Chinese greens currently).
Greens I have had: Dragonwell (very nice grandpa), Jade Snow (a bit too bitter for grandpa), Loashan Summer Harvest (just tried it today, very nice grandpa and lasts a long time), and An Ji Bai Pian White Slice (very light and very suited to grandpa, no bitterness at all).
Thanks guys!

A/I Mail for OSX Configuration Howto
Apple Mail, also known as mail.app or simply Mail,
is the full featured mail client which comes with OS X.
It is pretty and easy to use, but we don't recommend it because it is not Free Software. However, it is more stable than Thunderbird, so for many it is the best choice when using OS X.
Before you configure Apple Mail, you need to decide if you will be using IMAP or POP. Apple Mail has very good IMAP support, so we suggest that most people use IMAP.
If you would like to use GPG with Apple Mail follow the instructions:
- Download the latest version of GNU Privacy Guard for your version of MacOS.
- Mount the GnuPG Mac OS X disk image and run the .mpkg installer.
- Download the latest version of GPGKeys.
- Decompress the .tar.gz and drag the GPGKeys file to your Applications folder.
- Run GPGKeys. From the "Key" menu, select "Generate". A Terminal window will open. You can select the default options for each choice unless you know what you're doing. When prompted, enter your real name, email address, and comment (handle). Once the key is generated you can quit Terminal.
- Download the Sen:te PGP plug-in for Mail.
- Run the "Install GPGMail" script.
- Open Mail. Everything should be working now. When composing a new message you'll see a new checkbox that lets you choose your key and sign your message. When receiving a signed message you'll be able to verify it.
How to configure Mail for OSX to download mail from A/I via POP protocol (with SSL support)
Note: screenshot for the POP protocol are in Italian but we hope you'll be able to glimpse how to configure your Mail.app software anyway.
- Open Mail.app and click on Mail on the Menu bar. Then choose the Preferences tab.
- In the Account window click on the + sign below.
- In the popup window fill in your connection parameters as shown in the picture below
- Click on Server Settings to configure the outgoing mail server.
- Enter the Advanced tab and choose SSL
- Confirm the choice and Mail will be ready to download your messages from A/I servers via Pop/SSL
How to configure Mail for OSX to download mail from A/I via IMAP protocol (with SSL support)
First Time User
If you are already using mail, see Existing User below.
The first time you start mail, a dialog will appear requesting your account information:
- Enter your name.
- Enter your full email address, i.e. firstname.lastname@example.com
- Incoming and SMTP servers should be "mail.autistici.org" and "smtp.autistici.org" respectively.
- Select "IMAP" account type
- Your username coincides with your email address, in this case, "email@example.com".
- VERY IMPORTANT! If you plan to set up secure connections, do not enter your correct password, because it will be transmitted over the internet in "clear text". Enter an incorrect password here. You will occasionally get a dialog box requesting your password when mail attempts to check your mail. Ignore it until you finish setting up the secure connections. Just hit cancel when these messages appear.
- Select "OK".
An error message will appear, but just click continue:
Existing User
This section is for adding an account profile if you have already been running Apple Mail. Users who just configured an account in the First Time User section should skip this.
- Select menu item Mail > Preferences...
- Select the Accounts tab.
- Click on the + button in the lower-left corner of the screen.
- For account type, select IMAP.
- Enter a description (it can be anything, we suggest your email address).
- Enter your full email address, i.e. firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Your incoming mail server is mail.autistici.org
- Your user name is your A/I address.
Managing Account Settings
In this section, we assume you have the preferences window open. To do so:
- Select menu item Mail > Preferences...
Setup Encryption For Receiving Mail
- Click on Accounts and select your A/I email account
- Now select the Advanced tab.
- Click "Automatically sychronize changed mailboxes"
- Click "Use SSL"
Setup Encryption For Sending Mail
Note for existing mail users: You will need to select "Add Server" from the SMTP pull-down menu.
Complete the Setup!
Now, simply enter you correct password in the password box. Your password will be encrypted when sent to A/I server to send and receive email.
When using secure connections, you will likely receive an error message saying that the A/I certificate is not trusted. Visit our certificates page for detailed instructions on how to configure your computer to work well with our certificates.
We wish to thank riseup for the inspiration for these howto.

An efficient compass
By Chris Mortika
from Minneapolis MN
About Me Avid Gamer, Educator
Comments about Learning Resources SAFE-T ® Bullseye ® Compass:
This is a plastic compass, designed to draw circles of various sizes. This product is easier to use than the venerable two-legged compass. And it is much harder for diabolical 7th-graders to cause injury with these tools.The orange SAFE-T compass, with several dozen holes, is probably easier to use, but that device doesn't allow for a student to draw a circle of precisely the correct radius, while this device does.The compass holds its position through friction; there's no "tightening" of the device that holds the radius constant. Plastic being what it is, eventually the frictive edges smooth down, and the compass loses its ability to maintain a constant radius. But there should be a couple dozen hours of use before this problem occurs.This is the tool I use in the classroom, and I am generally pleased by it.The "protractor" at one end is too small to be of much use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

People hardly ever send letters anymore, so it's pretty exciting to receive one amongst all of the Kmart catalogues and Pizza vouchers. And even more exciting when it's an invitation. And even more exciting when it's an invitation to an art exhibition. And even more exciting when it's your friend's exhibition! So, I was over the moon to find an invitation to Tessa's exhibition at the Percolator Gallery in Brisbane. Tess is an amazing artist/creator, and is always working on a project – from prints to set design to music film clips to delicious jam-filled chocolate cakes. She's one of those people that are too clever and need to share around some of their creativity. Luckily for us, she shared her talents with us for the Leanne Shea Langdown Carmen Miranda inspired illustration.
Her exhibition invitation is proudly sitting on our fridge but very sadly, I won't be able to go – so hoping she adds some more of her pieces to Etsy. If you're in Brisbane from 5th – 11th June – please go, love you'll it. Have a look at some more of Tess' work on her website.

JARAGUA DO SUL, Brazil – The young dinosaur continues to put away young lions.
Known for his lightning-fast hands, former Ultimate Fighting Championship champion Vitor Belfort shocked ex-Strikeforce titleholder Luke Rockhold with a wheel kick before fully removing him from consciousness in the first round.
The middleweight bout headlined Saturday's UFC on FX 8 event at Arena Jaragua in Jaragua do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil. It aired on FX following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Belfort's highlight-reel performance marked the second time he's used a kick to bring a fight to a swift halt. In his previous outing, he dispatched top contender Michael Bisping with a head kick and punches.
Like Bisping, Rockhold (10-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who relinquished his Strikeforce belt when the promotion folded shop earlier this year, hoped to cement his status as a UFC contender. Instead, he found himself a victim of pinpoint striking from Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC) when referee Leon Roberts waved off the fight at the 2:32 mark of the first round.
"The Phenom," who months prior to the fight was told he needed several knockout wins to get another title shot at Anderson Silva's belt, declined to use his victory to ask the UFC to reconsider. But the promotion may end up doing just that.
"I'm here to fight," he told the cheering crowd. "I don't pick fights. I accept fights."
Rockhold was a slight betting favorite heading into the headliner, which ended a contentious buildup between the middleweights. Rockhold blasted Belfort's use of doctor-prescribed testosterone and got in Belfort's face at the weigh-ins.
But afterward, he gave Belfort respect.
"He landed a spinning heel kick to the head," Rockhold said. "Kudos to him."
Belfort attempted the kick he used to end the fight early in the first frame, but Rockhold managed to elude it. The Strikeforce vet shot early for a takedown but was rebuffed. The two continued to snipe at each other before Belfort's sudden explosion.
Belfort now boasts back-to-back victories in the middleweight division following an unsuccessful attempt at light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones' belt. Rockhold, who hadn't fought in 10 months prior to UFC on FX 8, sees a nine-fight win streak snapped.
The full UFC on FX 8 results included:
Vitor Belfort def. Luke Rockhold via knockout (strikes) - Round 1, 2:32
Ronaldo Souza def. Chris Camozzi via submission (arm-triangle choke) - Round 1, 3:37
Rafael dos Anjos def. Evan Dunham via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Rafael Natal def. Joao Zeferino via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28)
Nik Lentz def. Hacran Dias via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-28)
Francisco Trinaldo def. Mike Rio via submission (arm-triangle choke) - Round 1, 3:08
Gleison Tibau def. John Cholish via submission (guillotine choke) - Round 2, 2:34
Paulo Thiago def. Michel Prazeres via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

City needs better buses
Tammi Barnes, Minot
The front page of a recent Sunday edition of The Minot Daily News boldly spells out the major reason why Minot needs to expand the city bus services.
With the present lack of parking spaces downtown and also around Minot State University, by building up the downtown area and also the campus it is just going to make it worse.
Minot needs to increase their bus services to include every area of Minot. Not only would a better public transportation system help with the lack of parking, it would also help decrease the amount of traffic on Broadway, enable people to get to school or their job, it could potentially cut down on the number of winter accidents that occur every time it snows.
With an improved public transportation service offered to Minot, there may be a decrease in the revenue made by giving out parking tickets and citations for traffic violations and accidents, but there would be an increase in the revenue brought in by the large number of people who would benefit from taking the bus to work, school, downtown, Dakota Square Mall, Walmart, the YMCA and when it is finished, the new Marketplace Foods up north of the valley area.
It is time to stop complaining about the lack of parking and increase of traffic in Minot. By improving our public transportation system Minot might be able to put those complaints to rest.

A Pine Grove Township man has been charged with nearly 180 total counts, including over 100 felonies, stemming from alleged sexual abuse of two victims between 2003 and 2010.
Daniel Lynn Brecht, 62, Priest Hollow Road, Russell, was arraigned before District Justice Laura Bauer on Tuesday and placed in the Warren County Jail after he was unable to post bail.
Bail was set at $100,000 in each case.
Warren-based state police arrested Brecht after an investigation into him "assaulting a known female between the ages of 11 and 18, between 2003 and early 2010," according to a press release.
In that case, Brecht was charged with 14 counts of felony rape, 10 counts of felony statutory sexual assault, 14 counts of felony sexual assault, 21 counts of felony aggravated indecent assault, six counts of felony aggravated indecent assault (victim under 13 years of age), six counts of felony indecent assault (victim under 13 years of age), 39 counts of felony corruption of minors and one felony count of endangering welfare of children.
He was also charged with 37 misdemeanor counts of indecent assault and 20 misdemeanor counts of indecent assault (victim under 16 years of age).
According to police, in a parallel case, he was also charged for assaulting another victim between the ages of 10 and 12 during the same time span." The gender of that victim was not disclosed.
In that case, Brecht has been charged with two counts of felony indecent assault (victim under 13 years of age), two counts of misdemeanor indecent assault, and one felony count each of endangering the welfare of children and corruption of minors.
Online court records indicate that Brecht has no prior criminal record.
His preliminary hearing for both incidents is slated 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30.

Willmar Poultry Company to close Marshall hatchery next month
MARSHALL – Willmar Poultry Company, dba Ag Forte, has announced it would close the Marshall hatchery sometime next month.
WPC is an affiliate of Life Science Innovations.
"Sustained high commodity prices and turkey cooler inventories will present significant challenges to our customers for 2013, which directly impacts our breeding and hatchery business," the company said in a press release. "Our industry is cyclical in nature, with years of contraction ultimately following years of growth. Ag Forte understands this cycle and has proactively prepared for the current downturn to maintain our business and operational efficiencies."
The Marshall facility is dedicating to producing turkey breeders rather than turkeys for immediate consumption, according to communications director Jenn Baumgartner,
According to Rick VanderSpeck, president and CEO of Ag Sector, Life Science Innovations, the hatchery was originally built by the Swift company, which owned the Butterball Turkey label at the time, and was built sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s. WPC acquired the company in 1989.
VanderSpeck said there has been no decision at present as to the final disposition of the building and expects to leave the equipment in place for the foreseeable future.
"If and when the equipment is removed, we most likely will then put the real estate up for sale," VanderSpeck said.
The Marshall facility has 10 full- and part-time employees, some of whom, according to Baumgartner, have worked for the company since it was owned by Swift.
According to the press release, company representatives will meet with employees in the coming weeks to discuss placement and severance options.

I am wondering whether anyone has experienced this. The DI box stopped working the other day, so I figured a battery change was due. Despite the fresh battery , the DI refused to work. On top of that the battery had become so hot I couldn't touch it! Scary stuff. I was concerned it might combust. Has anyone seen this before. I am betting the unit is a throwaway.
It was such a pleasure of sweet sound, playing it with the lyric pickup on my old J45. I don't know whether I should just replace it, or move up to the Venue.

CHICAGO — William C. Lowe had a bold idea: IBM should develop a personal computer that could be mass marketed, expanding the company's reach beyond businesses and into people's homes.
That was in 1980. One year later, the IBM 5150 personal computer was selling out at stores such as Sears and ComputerLand for $1,565, not including a monitor.
Lowe, who was credited with fostering collaboration within the computer industry and led the team that developed IBM's PC, died on Oct. 19 in Lake Forest, Ill., of a heart attack, his daughter Michelle Marshall said. He was 72.
Marshall said she didn't realize the magnitude of what her father helped accomplish until she was an adult.
"I'm so incredibly proud of him . . . he's touched everything," Marshall said Wednesday. "If he hadn't taken a risk and had the chutzpah he did to make it happen, it could have taken so many more years before everyone had a computer on their desktop."
Other companies were making PCs as early as the 1970s, but IBM was behind the curve. Lowe was lab director at IBM's Boca Raton, Fla., facilities when he convinced his bosses that he could assemble a team to build a personal computer in a year.
Lowe and his team were able to develop the IBM PC so quickly by adopting open architecture — using parts and software from outside vendors, including Microsoft, which was not well known at the time, according to IBM's website.

Puerto Rican-Style Roasted Pork Shoulder with Rice and Black Beans and Fried Sweet Plantains
- 1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 12 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 (8 to 9 pound pork shoulder, skin intact
- 4 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 cups sour orange juice, or 1 1/3 cups orange juice and 2/3 cup lime juice
- 3 ripe plantains (black with streaks of yellow), cut into 6 slices each
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup Cilantro Crema, recipe follows
- Rice and Beans, recipe follows
- Cilantro Crema:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Rice and Beans:
- 1 pound dried black beans, picked through and rinsed
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup small diced salt pork or bacon
- 1 cup small diced yellow onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1/4 cup diced cubanelle or hot Italian pepper
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups long-grain rice
- 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons salt
In a mortar or food processor, place the oregano, thyme, garlic and black peppercorns. Use a pestle to mash the ingredients into a paste. Once a smooth paste is formed, add the olive oil little by little to the mortar and set aside. Rinse the pork shoulder under cold running water and pat dry. Use a sharp paring knife to score the skin about 1/4-inch deep in a cross hatch pattern all over the thick skin of the pork roast. Season with 2 tablespoons of the kosher salt and rub well. Rub the entire roast well all over on all sides with the paste from the mortar and pestle. Place the pork in a plastic oven bag and add 1 cup of the sour orange juice over it. Seal the bag and force out as much air as possible, then place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, and up to 24 hours. Be sure to turn the bag over once or twice to redistribute the sour orange juice.
The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Be sure to pull out the pork at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours before roasting. Place the pork in a roasting pan and season with the remaining 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Wrap the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Roast the pork for 1 hour before turning the oven down to 275 degrees F. Continue to roast the pork for 3 more hours. Remove the foil and baste the roast with the remaining cup of sour orange juice. Roast for 1 additional hour and remove from the oven.
To fry the plantains, set a 10-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the plantains to the pan and fry in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on a paper-lined plate, and season with salt. Serve while hot, with the Cilantro Crema on top, pork and Rice and Beans on the side.
Combine the heavy cream and buttermilk in a glass bowl or jar with a lid and stir or shake well to blend thoroughly. Allow to sit in a warm place, unrefrigerated, until cream is thickened and somewhat "set," up to 6 hours. Shake well and refrigerate overnight before using. When ready to serve, add cilantro, lime juice and salt and pepper.
Put the black beans and bay leaves in a large pot, cover with 3 quarts of cold water, and place over medium heat. Cover and cook the beans until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check the water periodically; add more, if necessary, to keep the beans covered. Drain the beans and reserve 4 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid (if you do not have enough cooking liquid, use water to bring the liquid volume up to 4 1/2 cups).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a large Dutch oven or other ovenproof pot with the olive oil and place over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the salt pork and cook until most of the fat has rendered, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and peppers and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Do not allow to brown. Add the chicken broth and continue to cook until the liquid is evaporated, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, and black pepper and stir to combine. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cooked black beans to the pan along with the reserved bean cooking liquid, lime juice and salt; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing the lid and serving.

|The following story was submitted by the team's parent volunteer reporter. To submit stories about your team, send text and photos via e-mail.
The girls started the tournment with a nail-biter win in the first game, scoring the only point with under 5 minutes left against Barcelona 98. It was a wonderful break away with an assist and score up the center. Rush dominated the game throughout with a few balls that went in the net but were called back for one reason or another.
Game 2 was very similar to Game 1 with a late score that put them up by one late in the game against the Lady Rattlers. Game 3 was a bit different in that Nevada Pride 98s scored first and early. This would be the only goal scored on the Nike girls in the whole tournament. Coming out of halftime with a new-found energy, the girls tied it up 1-1 with a nice left cross to center and a tap in. As a tie was all that was needed to play through to the championship, they played a great defensive game as they had throughout the first two games and kept the score tied at the end.
The championship game was scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon in 80-degree heat. The teams were very close at the beginning with both teams having control of the ball and United making some very clean crosses to center and a couple of narrow misses at the goal. It soon became obvious that it was going to be about who wanted it more.
Rush's passing began to wear United down and then the Nike girls stepped up hard with a beautiful cross from the left from Emily and a light tap in from Katie to open the scoring at 1-0. The second and final score came on a penalty kick from Emily. The defense really shined through the whole tournament keeping the teams outside and away from the box and giving the offense more opportunities up front.
-- Brian Shults
In honor of the girls' win, coach Jeff Schatz
