THE tiny Apple TV has undergone an iPad-style makeover to coincide with the launch of the new wundertablet.
The Apple TV is a little set-top box designed to bridge the big gap between your television and your Apple gadgets. Its menus now have a similar look and feel to the iPad, although it was overshadowed amid hype around the new iPad and an unfulfilled expectation that we might finally see the fabled Apple Television.
So what does the Apple TV do? It's a tiny media player designed to hook up to your home network via cable or wi-fi and to your television via an HDMI cable. It doesn't actually let you watch digital broadcasts or DVD and Blu-ray movies.
Its primary job is get Apple content on to your television streamed from an iGadget, a computer running iTunes or online from the Apple Store. Among its best features are a slick movie-rental service, the ability to buy TV shows and access to other online services (YouTube, Vimeo and Flickr).
Apple has dropped the price on the new third-generation Apple TV to $109, while packing in extra grunt to handle the demands of 1080p high-definition video. Previously, Apple's high-def movies were limited to 720p. The number refers to how many lines of detail there are in the image - the higher the number, the sharper the picture.
The Apple TV lets you start watching a rented movie once it's downloaded the first few minutes. Even so, you might still be left waiting for hours to start watching a high-def movie. Apple recommends download speeds of at least five megabits per second for 720p movies and has upped this to 8 Mbps for 1080p.
Unfortunately, Apple doesn't make it clear how big its movies are. Standard-def movies weigh in at roughly 1.5 gigabytes, while 720p bumps this to about 4GB. New 1080p movies push this closer to 5GB, which could take a long time to download and seriously dent your allowance.
If you're on cable broadband or the National Broadband Network, you shouldn't need to wait long for a 1080p movie. It's more hit and miss if you're at the mercy of copper phone lines and distance from the telephone exchange. Don't bother with 1080p (or even 720p) movies if you're using slow ADSL1. Even with ADSL2+, you might not get 8Mbps (or even 5Mbps) and thus could be in for a long wait. If in doubt, head over to speedtest.net to test your download speeds.
So is it worth hiring 720p or 1080p movies, if you can spare the bandwidth? Only if your television measures at least 40 inches across (100 centimetres) and you particularly care about picture quality. Even then, if you pay really close attention you'll notice in some scenes that 1080p movies from Apple don't look as good as those on a Blu-ray disc.
Blu-ray movies also sound better than the Apple TV if your home theatre supports the new high-def 7.1 surround-sound formats such as DTS-HD. Apple's 1080p movies come with standard Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound (comparable with a DVD).
So, while the Apple TV might be OK for renting movies, you'll probably want to buy your favourites on disc so they look and sound their absolute best.
The other new trick, available on the second- and third-generation Apple TVs, is the ability to stream your own music and video from Apple's cloud.
If you're using the US iTunes store you can now stream movies which you've previously purchased. This is quite handy, assuming you can spare the bandwidth, as otherwise you need to stream your movies from an iGadget or iTunes on your computer.
Unfortunately streaming previously purchased movies isn't available in the Australian iTunes store yet. Australians can, however, stream their music from Apple via iTunes Match. It's not a subscription music service such as Rdio or Spotify - it only lets you listen to music you already own, from the internet to your iGadgets, iTunes on your computer or the Apple TV.
Again, the advantage is you can enjoy your music without the need to stream it from another device, although you're chewing up broadband allowance.
The real frustration is that iTunes Match doesn't let you stream music from the Apple TV to wireless AirPlay speakers, a feature lost when Apple ripped the hard drive from the original Apple TV that we were hoping to see return with iTunes Match. More on iTunes Match next week.

Forestview - A small school in a big building
Forestview Middle School is 339,000 square feet, the entire site area covers 180 acres of land, and we currently have 1,880 students in grades 5-8. At first glance, it could be said that the building looks "imposing." Imposing? Yes. It's a big building that covers a lot of ground and houses a large number of students and teachers. But what's unique about the school that is contained in this big building?
As the principal of Forestview, community members have asked me (more than once), "Why do we need such a big school in our community?" To best answer that question, let's take a closer look at how Forestview works. More importantly, I want to describe how Forestview's structure and staff provide personalized instruction and support to our students in grades 5-8.
Forestview is physically organized by grade-level "wings." Each grade-level wing is then organized by grade-level "teams." Each team area has a commons area, a locker area, and classrooms surrounding the commons. In essence, Forestview personalizes the learning experiences for its 1,880 students by creating smaller "schools" within the school.
Here's an example. A sixth-grade student is assigned to the 6A team. In the Forestview 6th grade, there are currently four teams. That student would have math, science, social studies, and language arts within the 6A team area with teachers specifically assigned to the 6A team. A typical student spends no more than two class periods (out of seven total) outside of his or her team area.
In addition to their core academic areas, Forestview students take physical education, music, art, multimedia, family and consumer science, technology and engineering, and health classes. The staff members in these curricular areas do an outstanding job connecting with kids and personalizing their education.
The average size of a grade-level team at Forestview is around 134 students. Let's look at it another way. A typical Forestview student gets off the school bus, walks to his or her team area, and spends the majority of his or her day as one student in a "school within a school" team comprised of only 134 students.
This "school within a school" structure has many benefits for both students and staff. Forestview students benefit because they have a place in the school to call their "home." They also have the opportunity to know their classmates and teachers on a deeper level. (This can be quite daunting for middle school students with almost 500 students per grade.)
Our staff members benefit because they can build positive relationships with the students in their team, understand each student's strengths and weaknesses, and learn about each student's individual interests. Research consistently shows that students who build close relationships with their teachers have a better chance for academic success. With our academic results exceeding State averages, we are confident that this structure is maximizing the strengths of our staff and students and validating this research.
If you walk through Forestview before school, you will see our teaching staff out in their respective team areas greeting and talking with kids, assisting them with work, and setting the tone for the leaning that will take place that day. Each team area really has its own "small school" feeling.
The overall structure of the Forestview building accomplishes two distinct yet complementary tasks. First, it keeps our community's students in grades 5-8 in a learning environment that allows individual learners to forge close ties with their teachers and receive the level of instruction and support they need to excel. At the same time, as a bigger school, Forestview leverages tremendous academic, technological, and recreational resources not often available at smaller schools that can be used to enhance learning opportunities for all students in grades 5-8.

Mayhem # 2169852
About MeI'm currently taking a break as a fashion design major at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I was living with two photography majors in the Coco Chanel Hall and became very accustomed to being photographed quite frequently.
I am currently studying cosmetology at the Cinta Aveda Institute in San Francisco.
I grew up participating in many activities, such as the San Francisco Girls' Chorus and the San Francisco Opera Company, and plenty of sports. Even when I was working in the San Francisco Opera, co-workers who were also photographers in their spare time always fancied photographing me. As a small child I did work with a company that prepared children for acting on television, movies, modeling, etc...
My goal isn't to become some model because realistically, I know that I am not tall or long enough to be one, but I truly enjoy not just being photographed, but the process of being photographed and the experience. If friends or strangers express their desire to photograph me or need help with a model, I'm always eager to help. In the same token, I look at modeling as a way to have photographs and memories to look back on when I get older. It's fun, it's harmless, it's thrilling, and I adore it.
I am petite with dark brown curly hair (which I am growing long again), dark brown eyes, and beautiful full lips. I am not tan, but will tan if need be. Last but not least, I am a lover of nude modeling—and even more so—erotic, fetishistic, sexual, pinup, lingerie, fashion, makeup, etc...
My favorite photographer for the last year and a half has been Nan Goldin. Her work is just absolutely astonishing.
I love the works of fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth. I find her to be very sassy, playful, sexual, kinky, voyeuristic, and exhibitionistic.
I also love the late fashion photographer Guy Bourdin because he managed to create absolutely beautiful, sexual, fetishistic, voyeuristic, and somewhat sinister photographs where sex and death always seemed to come fused together.
Another photographer, although not a fashion photographer, that I love is Diane Arbus. I am truly a dark person, and I think von Unwerth and Bourdin instill some of that in their work, but Arbus really can bring out the darkness in something light. She managed to make people who were innocent look stark and sinister. That is a sign of true talent.
Other photographers that I love are Karl Lagerfeld, Juergen Teller, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Horst P. Horst, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, etc...
I am just looking to have some fun, help others out with their photography, and learn about their line of work. It's all very intriguing.
If you would like to contact me, please send an email to email@example.com with a clear subject header and a means to contact you within the message.
Warmest regards,
February 26, 2013 - February 2, 2013

(Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, July 03, 2014 11:35 AM
By Alex Onken / American PressGet ready to celebrate America's birthday with fireworks and fanfare.
Lake Charles' Fourth of July celebration, Red, White, Blue & You, will kick off Friday with a parade at 6 p.m.
The route will run from Mill Street down Ryan and will end at Seventh Street. The celebration is expected to have record attendance due to the holiday falling on a Friday.
According to Denise Fasske, the city's director for cultural events, parade float entries are being accepted throughout today. It's free to enter and participate, she said.
"You can put the neighborhood kids in the car and decorate it, then be in the parade," Fasske said.
This year's parade grand marshal is 7-year-old Emma Leger. Other parade participants will include Miss Armed Forces queens, local festival queens, dance lines and marching units.
A bevy of different vehicles will be displayed in the parade such as golf carts and bicycles.
After the parade, there will be live music provided by bluegrass band Market Blue, which has played at the Cash and Carry Farmers Market on Tuesdays.
There will be a concert by the Lake Charles Community Band, with accompaniment by the Louisiana Choral Foundation.
"It's a patriotic program," Fasske said. "Everyone receives a little complimentary flag to wave and a fan to keep us cool on this beautiful summery day."
The event will end with fireworks at 9 p.m. The show will last 15 minutes.
"Some of the items in the beginning of the show will be the golden rain, chrysanthemums, flowers, red tail happy-star, and those are a few of the descriptions of what we'll have," Fasske said.
"Then, our grand finale will end up with as large as 10-inch shells. Lake Charles is fortunate to shoot off shells that are 10 inches since it's over the lake."
For children, there will be face painting.
At the events downtown there will be food vendor trucks selling pizza, snow cones and ice cream.
Commemorative souvenir shirts will be available for purchase. This year's logo was designed by Darrel Buck, an instructor at Sowela Technical Community College.
"This is a feel-good event. The whole community comes out for camaraderie. It's a summer event and a chance to salute the armed forces and to just enjoy what our country is all about in celebrating our freedom," Fasske said.
In case of inclement weather, the program portion will be held in the Lake Charles Civic Center Coliseum.

Virb8im Asks:
Hi: Could you please help settle a debate? Often while we're in the barn doing chores in front of our horses in their stalls, my husband almost always gives his rather unruly gelding a handful of sweet feed, hay, carrots, or apples if he starts putting his head through the stall or kicking at the walls. My husband says, "It'll get him out of our hair." I couldn't disagree more with this pattern as I believe it essentially rewards the horse for his bad behavior. Also, I believe it has taught him to associate our presence in the barn with being fed every time, all the time. He believes it's not a big deal and I'm being too hard on the horse. Please weigh in on this for me and help us settle this issue!
Most definitely, horses always see being fed off their regular schedule as a reward. If you allow your husband to continue feeding this gelding of yours when he is kicking at the stall walls, he will indeed be teaching your horse to continue just such behavior. When he finds himself building new walls for this horse's stall, let's hope he learns his lesson.
Thank You and Happy Trails!

HYDE PARK, Sunday—I have a letter in my mail which I think shows a bit of short-sightedness that we should take note of and explain very promptly. The writer, evidently someone with boys in the service, feels that people who have worked in war plants—where before the war they were farmers, or household workers, or perhaps mothers of families who stayed at home—should all be urged to return to their original employment and should not receive unemployment compensation.
I don't believe that men or women will have to be urged to return to their former work, for I think one predominant trait of the American people is that they prefer to work than to sit idle. By and large, we do not like receiving money and sitting in idleness unless we are ill, tired out or cannot find work. In this last case, unemployment insurance is not only a godsend to the unemployed, but a godsend to the economy of the country as a whole.
* * *
That is the point I want to bring out today. Unemployment insurance is not a plan just for the benefit of the people who happen to be out of work—or who do not want to work, as certain people seem to feel may happen. It is a plan to keep our whole economy from starting on a downward spiral. If many people stop buying, there is no market for anyone's goods.
I think mothers will go back to their homes and, where they have small children, it will be better for the children. Many people went to work for patriotic reasons or because they had debts they wanted to pay off—perhaps a mortgage on the farm—and they wanted to meet the post-war period in a stable financial condition. That was the reason why many farmers went to work in shipyards or in war plants. In the days when they couldn't sell what they grew, they had to incur debts and mortgage their farms. War work gave them an opportunity to get out of the red, and they took it, as they should. But often they put in long hours at home, after the war work was done, to keep the farm going, and even the younger children helped.
* * *
To deny unemployment insurance to war workers, however, would be a very unwise move. Every citizen of the country, including our returning servicemen, depends for a livelihood on factories, farms and businesses going at full tilt. Our servicemen must find work to do. Unless people are able to buy food and clothing and goods of all kinds, the reconversion period will be a very bad period indeed, and may even start us on a new depression. Anyone who went through the early 'thirties can hardly wish to see those conditions return.
President Truman has done a wise thing, from the economic standpoint of the country as a whole, in advocating more generous unemployment insurance.

Readers and editors of SAE International's Automotive Engineering International (AEI) magazine have selected the Chevrolet Volt as the "Best Engineered Vehicle" of 2011. This award highlights the innovative engineering that led to the "production of the world's first electric vehicle with extended-range capability," according to the SAE.
Doug Parks, Volt vehicle line executive, says that the "selection of the Volt as the 2011 Best Engineered Vehicle by our peers is an honor" and commends General Motors' engineering team for creating a "truly transformational vehicle."
SAE International members voted on the "Best Engineered Vehicle" from a list of candidates, including the Nissan Leaf, BMW 5 Series, Kia Optima and Volkswagen Jetta. The vehicles were judged based on these criteria: commonality, flexibility, cost, innovation, package efficiency, powertrain performance, chassis systems, interior accommodations, occupant safety and engineering benchmark.

Creating simple, captivating presentations
It is with presentations as it is with much else: less is more. If you've ever suffered through a meeting with slides jam-packed with Times New Roman 8 pt text, catastrophic clip art or illegible spreadsheets, you know what I'm talking about. Here are my ground rules for creating simple, captivating presentations.
Make your point
Sit down with analogue tools (pen and paper will suffice), and draft a single sentence that describes explicitly how want your audience to feel when you cross the finish line. Here's an example: "My future customers will be convinced that my solution will improve their everyday workflow, and can be tailored to their specific needs without delay or significant increases in cost."
Or: "My boss will realize that even though we are behind on three out of four KPIs, we have identified the following measures, assigned responsibilities, and based upon this remain confident that we will have reacquired our running rate by April 1st." You may want to pick a different date, but the gist remains.
Simplicity shines
If excessive use of text makes you look unprofessional, does the reverse hold true as well? In fact, it does – up to a point. The perhaps best known example of this would be the late Steve Jobs, whose presentations won universal acclaim for primarily promoting major talking points and applying visuals to get a point across. Or, as one might say, to replace a thousand words.
Text creates an invisible barrier between you and your audience. Excessive use implies that you don't know what you're talking about, and reading it back verbatim, guarantees you being perceived as rehearsed, disengaged and quite possibly insecure. Just recall the last celebrity you observed reciting a public apology from a set of index cards, and you'll know what doesn't work.
For text, I keep it short – three talking points at most on a page, and preferably no sentences longer than fifteen words. I allow myself the occasional quote, but refrain from using popular ones to avoid blending in.
And then, I just let my shoulders down and talk. It's rehearsed talking, not memorized; I always keep a close eye on the time; I use a remote clicker to allow for freedom of movement; and – more on this in a bit – I make a point of being prepared for the topic at hand.
Vary your visuals
And keep audio out of it, for the love of God. Sound effects are not amusing in presentations; they merely serve for the purposes of distraction and embarassment. Good visuals, on the other hand, are welcome – but I do have a few rules for those as well, the primary one being that just as with text, too much is still too much.
At the risk of sounding chauvinist, visuals and women are much alike: few and pretty always trumps many and frumpy. I suspect women hold the same opinion of men.
To achieve this, consider purchasing access to a high-quality clip art source, or alternatively purchase stock photos from a range of providers – just Google the terms, and you'll find several providers as (unsurprisingly) there's high demand for such services.
To tie your presentation and visuals together, opt for a professional colour palette rather than using the built-in ones found in presentation software such as Powerpoint or Keynote. Granted, they have improved vastly over the years, but anyone who's sat through a presentation or a hundred will silently reward you for caring enough to make an effort to stand out.
Pick a popular palette from a site such as COLOURlovers, and use it for anything from bullet points to scorecards to KPIs, borders, lines, arrows and suchlike. Just make sure that your primary text always stays black, or – if I can make a personal recommendation – a very dark shade of gray, which is a tad easier on the eyes. As important as they may be, however, good visuals are only a part of the experience, and serve only as backup for the main attraction: you.
Know your topic, and know it well
It's alright if you're not an expert, but you should be able to answer eighty to ninety percent of the questions that might be thrown at you at any given time during a presentation. Having to get back to someone because they asked a particularly good question only gives you an opportunity to compliment them, and then promise – and deliver – rapid feedback.
Anything below that rate, and you'll be considered a lightweight if you have an audience that's anywhere near what you want to be presenting for (which would be the kind that you strive to impress for your common benefit).
If you can't engage, disengage
How good would you say you are at judging whether someone presenting to you actually cares about what they're talking about? I'm willing to wager that, on par with humanity, your answer would be along the lines of 'fairly good'. Thus, every time you're making a presentation, you face an audience of human lie detectors.
Fortunately, no matter how polished your presentation is, it all comes back to you. Why fortunately, you ask? Well, if you don't care about what you're talking about, you have to be a world-class presenter not to let it shine through. Alas, very few people are included in such an exclusive club, and the rest of us have but one option: don't.
As in, don't do the presentation. Instead, do something you care about. Whether it's something else entirely, or simply not presenting on your particular area of expertise, just don't present. I've attended a few presentations where presenter and audience were equally disinterested, and would prefer strangulation by aubergine (if at all possible).
Oh, and lest I forget: be yourself. If you know someone whose style as a presenter you admire, don't copy – emulate. Pick up what you can, but never, ever, try to act as if you were someone else. That's one thing that will make your audience of human lie detectors dismiss their interest in you in a matter of mere minutes.
Questioning time
Last, but not least: there are two kinds of presentations: monologues, and dialogues. The former kind is oft reserved for grand announcements, product launches and the likes, and requires a highly skilled presenter in order to engage emotionally with the audience.
If you have more than a thousand presentations under your belt, you likely have the skill to judge whether you're one of those presenters; if not, be very careful about doing a 'kahuna', as a poorly executed presentation at that scale and level will alter people's perception of you for a long, long while. On the other side, so will a skillfully executed one.
Personally, I prefer more intimate presentations where I get to have a dialogue with my audience, and have objections or questions alike hurled at me. This allows for close engagement, and creates equal opportunity for either party to benefit and learn.
Think outside the slide
P.S.: If you're looking for an alternate take on how presentations can be made in a free-flowing format as opposed to the rigid, carousel-style approach favoured by traditional slideware, I suggest you take a look at Prezi. Although limited in term of platform support, it's fun and fresh and offers novel navigation (provided you don't swoosh around in there as if you were DUI).

Without the enthusiast features of the HDC-TM700, the Panasonic HDC-SD600 is not as easy to recommend. However, it is significantly cheaper - as much as £200 cheaper from some vendors. For those who want dependable, top quality in the widest range of conditions but are unlikely to fiddle with manual settings regularly, the SD600 could be an economy worth making.

Ayaan Ahmed Khan (Vikrant Massey) and Humeira Siddiqui (Ketki Kadam) are ready to let their love shine, even if it is in the dark place like a store room. Of course, every love needs a little help and Badi Bi (Vidya Sinha) has given the necessary wind beneath the wings for these love birds to fly. How much of turbulence will come their way looking at the Muqaddar ka Khel promo is something that all of us will have to wait and watch, but one thing we know, love is definitely in the air where these two are concerned.
On the other hand we have the other couple Asad Ahmed Khan (Karan Singh Grover) and Zoya Farooqui (Surbhi Jyoti) who have found love after lot of turbulence. Will they find a happy landing in form a marriage that is happily ever after is something we can only hope for as the promo points to something else.
Now what will happen is something that is only speculation at this stage. As the story unfolds we shall perhaps get answers to what, where and the why foes. Till then we bring some pictures that at least depict the love that the couples have for each other.
Keep watching Qubool Hai, for the twists that seem to be coming our way will definitely keep us guessing as to why and what is the consequence is again something that one will know as they happen.
Stay tuned to Forum 32 as we bring some exclusive photos of Ayaan and Humeira shortly and the behind the scene segment of the song sequence once it comes on air.

Jamey Johnson's 'The Guitar Song' Strikes Gold
Jamey Johnson's sophomore album, 'The Guitar Song,' has officially been certified gold, selling more than 500,000 copies since it was released in September. While many artists define their careers by the number of albums they sell, Jamey says that's not his measure of success.
"My dream already came true," Jamey writes on his website. "All I ever wanted was just to get to ride around and sing country music. It's cool when things like that happen along the way. Because those are the things I never thought I could achieve. Whether or not it's gold or platinum or hell, diamond for that matter, it wouldn't surprise me anymore. I'll just keep doing what I do. I wake up every day and go play some more country music and have another drink."
The critically-acclaimed double-disc project, which debuted at No. 1, has already garnered a lot of buzz, including a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album, plus a second nod for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for a track on the CD, 'Macon.' But Jamey, who prefers to let the music stand on its own, chose to shy away from doing much public promotion for the album.
"There's a type of personality that works really well in that environment of over-driven press," Jamey says. "The red carpet deals, the high-dollar dinners. Looking good is way more important than being intelligent. Nobody cares what you have to say or really what you think about anything — just stand there and look good and keep signing those autographs. That's not what I signed up for. That's never been on my agenda, trying to get to somebody's VIP party or trying to look big and rich and all that kind of stuff. That's never been on my priority list at all."
It was his confidence in 'The Guitar Song,' which is admittedly a bit different than what is played on mainstream radio, that allowed the former Marine to release the 25-song package. "I don't even know how best to describe this album," Jamey tells The Boot. "When I started off, it was just songs I'd recorded, one for 'That Lonesome Song,' and some other ones I had intended being on different records … I think we're making the best record by combining all these different sessions. There's songs that work together that tell the best story from a certain period of time. Then there are songs that don't work as well together if taken out of context. What we've done is put the songs together in a way that I think people would want to hear connected."
Jamey will kick off 2011 with a packed schedule that has him traveling all over the country, including stops in Michigan, Ohio and Florida. See his schedule here.

BAMIYAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan — In Bamiyan Province, the Afghan National Police are supposed to be the first line of defense against insurgents. Problem is, they are often out of gas, short of ammunition and in need of basic supplies.
On a recent patrol, a group of U.S and New Zealand troops attached to the New Zealand-led Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Bamiyan happened on half a dozen Afghan National Police officers stranded by the road. They were on their way to Sayghan, farther north in the province. But their Ford Ranger ran out of gas shortly after they crossed over the pass from Bamiyan Valley.
The PRT convoy was already limping along with vehicle trouble. One of the Toyota 4x4s had a blown clutch — a casualty of Bamiyan's primitive mountain roads — and it was being towed back to base. Still, the New Zealanders could spare a can of fuel. After filling up, the Afghans were back on their way.
Keeping the ANP properly equipped and supplied is one of the obstacles to maintaining security in Bamiyan Province. Warrant Officer Class One Ian Lawrence of the New Zealand Army described the challenges the PRT encounters when working with the local police.
"We're supposed to train them, but they don't even have training rounds for the weapons," he said. "It's a bit frustrating. When we take them out on joint patrols, we have to feed them, give them water, provide the diesel. They give them nothing, they have no supply system."
Bamiyan's police aren't the only ones strapped for cash. The local government has a similar lack of resources. District sub-governors, who are the central government's representatives in district centers like Sayghan, often have few funds at their disposal. The district sub-governor in Sayghan is described by PRT members as "very proactive" – he helped organize relief after spring floods devastated the area in back May – but he has no government resources to allocate.
That's where the PRT steps in: By funding small community projects, and giving the district sub-governor a say in steering them, it gives the sub-governors just a little bit more power. They may not have a budget, but U.S. and coalition funds give them legitimacy and stature.
This is not, of course, development for development's sake. This approach feeds the basic counterinsurgency aim to shore up the weakest link of the central government, at the local level.

France, Join The Wired World
France has never had a love affair with computers or the Internet. Its tradition-bound culture doesn't value instantaneous communication and information the way techie-loving Americans do. Students at the nation's elite schools still write long compositions by hand, no PCs allowed; it's more elegant. There are even executives at a major French bank who refuse to have a PC in their office because it clashes with the 18th century decor. No wonder France's computer use is among the lowest among Western nations. But however painful, it's time for France to enter the 21st century.
PCs and the Internet offer France more than information technology. They offer a way out of economic stagnation. French students should be dreaming of creating their own companies, not of a plodding career as civil servants or corporate bureaucrats.
Paradoxically, France is great at technology. In the 1970s, it launched the world's first electronic commerce market with the Minitel teletex system. But in an Internet world, the Minitel's closed system has long outlived its usefulness.
Prime Minister Lionel Jospin has asked France Telecom to transfer merchants using electronic commerce from the Minitel to the Internet. Paris should make sure Minitel's proprietary payment system isn't moved as well. France needs to move to a universal and open payments system. Its engineers should tap the country's leading-edge smart-card technology and develop a world-beating payments system that will work not only in France but around the globe.

The hobbit : An unexpected journey [based on the book by] by J.R.R. Tolkien dir. by Peter Jackson
One Comment
"he went on adventures with some dwarves looking" – well, that just sounds… wrong. :-)
I loved it too and had also low enough expectations. I was also a bit put off by all the dwarf japery in Bag End and the Old Bilbo framing device. But once that was past, I just grinned all over my face so many times! The music! Hobbiton! Rivendell! It was like being back home again. I loved it.
Presumably by the end of the the third film, all the dwarves will have gotten a bit more screentime each but in this film the ones who stood out for me were Kili (because I ADORE Aidan Turner and he's not only pretty and badass, he's a gorram archer to boot and I love me an archer) and of course, Thorin. Richard Armitage has been on my radar for a few years now and I was so pleased when he was cast because he's a terrific actor who doesn't get much recognition. But what he did with Thorin exceeded all my hopes. He was WONDERFUL. He became Thorin, just as Viggo became Aragorn. I'm so looking forward to seeing more of him next time.
Other standouts were of course Ian McKellan, very much grumpier but still awesome as Gandalf, Andy Serkis utterly perfect as Gollum (I'm assuming we won't see any of him in the next film and it is SUCH a shame) and Martin Freeman was a fantastic Bilbo.
My favourite scenes were the bits in Rivendell, with all our old friends gathering together – and lovely Bret McKenzie's cameo! – and the terrific fight-and-flight sequence in the Great Goblin's cave. Also thoroughly enjoyed the dwarven diaspora backstory – so, so sad! And Bilbo's reason for remaining with the Dwarvenship when he really wanted to go home was wonderfully well done.
All in all, I'm very happy. It's still not up there with the glories of LotR but very damn close. And I am already shivering with anticipation at the thought of the Battle of the Five Armies, when Jackson did such wonderful things with the battles in Two Towers and Return of the King. I want the hairs to stand up on the back of my neck as they still do when I even THINK of the March of the Ents, the Ride of the Rohirrim or Aragorn's speech at the Black Gates. I also know that I will be crying my eyes out, just as I did over Theoden King. *sniff*

Where I stayed
Nga Hoang
Rudely awaken by some suspect Vietnamese tunes and the firm nudge of the bus conductor, she proclaimed "Saigon". My watch indicated 4.25am. A Vietnamese bus arriving 1 hour 35 minutes early - it felt unnervingly surreal. Zombie-like we descended the bus steps to a barrage of eager-eyed touts and an incredible wall of heat and humidity. Were we still in Vietnam?
Having eventually found a hotel that was open and better still perhaps offering the opportunity of a bed (although trying to operate the broken tap in the sink felt like you were competing on the Crystal Maze), we crashed out enjoying the artificial comfort of a packet of marshmallow "Choco Pies"
Daylight in Saigon and the racetrack of roads was alive with highspeed maneouvres converging from all angles, often using the pavement as an alternative slipway. I often find driving on the "correct" side of the road overrated!
However, the streets of Saigon seemed a long way away as we stepped into the War Remants Museum. Without doubt the most horrifying and harrowing visual experience of our lives, the museum told the story of the Vietnam people through the recent conflict. The photographs were taken by courageous journalists, who perhaps more than anyone helped swell the anti-War movement in America that eventually led to US withdrawal. It was a display of inhumane, if not insane, brutality. It is almost incomprehensible to think that human life is attached such a value. Never will we forget turning the corner to see a pair of glass jars containing the foetuses of a generation savagely decimated by chemical warfare. It was difficult to hold back one's emotions. All the while you were somehow haunted by the reflections of US Defense Secretary, Robert S McNamara's In Retrospect - it was all a seemingly unbelievable mistake. Full stop.
A visit to Reunification / Independence Palace was a natural completion of the story
Hot and rather sweaty (sorry Kim!), we wandered to the Notre Dame Cathedral and on to the central market for another delightful nasal experience. Nothing like a bit of dried fish in 30+ degree heat!
In the evening we sampled the delights of Quan An Ngon. A Saigon institution, patrons were spilling onto the streets waiting for a table. Around the courtyard are around a dozen small kitchens each cooking up a particular specialism. The Hue-style pork compacted as if a loaf of spam and diced into cubes was a little interesting. Fortunately, no "loose bowel movements" to report.
With our departure from Singapore in less than 6 weeks we managed to buy the "last 2" seats on the bus to Cambodia. A brief, but fascinating stay in Saigon ended as did Vietnam. As always wishing we had another week to explore, we can't really complain...

i had dermabrasion done in early august around my upper and lower lips. i look worse around the corners of my mouth now than before. I now have deep wrinkling of the contour of my skin in those areas. Will this subside after I have completely healed or has the doctor damaged my face? There is not anything mentioned on the internet about these kinds of wrinkles as a result of the procedure. Please advise.

Some thoughts on James Kim
Original post made by Andrea Gemmet, Almanac staff writer, on Dec 7, 2006
Yet, seeing the picture of the missing Kim family last week really struck a chord with me. I anxiously scanned the newspaper each morning, checked the Web for updates, even turned on the evening news -- and I hate TV news. I alternated between hope and fear when Kati Kim and the two children were rescued, and the search for James dragged on.
I guess it's easiest to empathize with people you identify with. People with young children, people who go on car trips, people who rely on cell phones and downloaded directions to navigate unfamiliar places --it was hard not to see ourselves in the plight of this young family on a vacation gone horribly awry.
Particularly for my family. I've got a handsome Asian-American husband and a spunky hapa-haole (half-white) daughter. We live in a time and place where mixed race marriages are not remarkable, but we don't often see families like ours, where Daddy is Asian and Mommy is white.
We've got our own short-hand for the phenomenom -- "some" couples and "lots" couples, because there are lots of Asian women with white men, and while there aren't many Asian men with white women, there are some.
Seeing the faces of that "some' couple, and knowing that their beautiful kids will grow up without their father really did a number on my heartstrings.

J&J asks doctors to limit Natrecor use
Natrecor was approved in 2001 by the FDA specifically for use in acutely ill heart-failure patients who arrived at the hospital with breathing difficulties.
However, in recent years, Natrecor has also been dispensed in outpatient clinics where patients have come in for scheduled treatments. Such outpatient use contributed to global sales of the drug reaching $400 million last year.
The new education campaign will be rolled out over the next several weeks and consists of re-training the entire Natrecor sales force and its promotional speakers regarding the recommended use of the drug. Scios said it would also create new Natrecor promotional materials for use with healthcare providers and new language in promotional speakers programs and advertising in medical journals.
The campaign follows the appearance of two medical journal articles earlier this year that questioned whether the drug contributed to worsened kidney function and higher rates of death in patients and an April 2005 call from a panel of leading cardiologists asking J&J to review the drug.

By making use of a new 'super resolution' microscope that provides sharp images at extremely small scale, scientists have obtained unprecedented views of the immune system in action. This new stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscope shows how granules within natural killer (NK) cells pass through openings in the dynamic cell skeleton to destroy their targets: tumor cells and cells infected by viruses. Deeper understanding of these biological events may allow scientists to devise more effective treatments for inherited diseases that impair the immune system.
"This new technology enables researchers to see individual elements previously below the physical limits of imaging using light," said study leader Dr Jordan S. Orange, of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Previously, microscopes could not distinguish objects smaller than 200 nanometers (a nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter). The STED microscope uses a unique arrangement of lasers and fluorescence to image fine structures, such as protein filaments, smaller than 60 nanometers.
The new study is published Sept. 13 in the online, open-access journal PLoS Biology.
Orange has long researched the biology of NK cells at the immunological synapse -- the site where the NK cell attaches to its target cell and delivers granules packed with molecules that, when released, perforate and kill the target cell. Before they can be released from the NK cell, these granules must pass through a dense network of filaments made of a protein called F-actin.
Previously, F-actin was thought to be absent from the center of the synapse where the granules fuse with the cell surface. With super-resolution microscopy, the new study of live human cells reveals that F-actin pervades the synapse, but leaves openings just large enough to allow granules to pass through. "At the same time, F-actin appears to be dynamically interacting with the granules to move them toward their targets," Orange added.
Orange compared the F-actin filaments to the rails of a roller coaster, but one that quickly rearranges itself to guide the rider through a narrow tunnel. Further studies of NK function, Orange said, will investigate the mechanisms that allow lytic granules to navigate the immunological synapse. He added, "As we better understand how this process is regulated, we will work toward manipulating immune responses to treat immune deficiency disorders."
The work was supported by US National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants R01AI067946 to JSO, and R01GM070898 and S10RR22482 to TS. GDR was supported by NIH training grant T32AR007442.

- Friday night's "Dig for the Cure" match against the visiting Missouri Tigers marks the fourth all-time and second meeting of the season between the two now-Southeastern Conference opponents.
- In its first season in the SEC, Mizzou is making its first trip to Knoxville and Thompson-Boling Arena.
- With a thrilling come from behind five-frame win in Columbia in the conference opener, Missouri took a 2-1 lead in the all-time series and claimed the first league match between the two sides.
- Prior to the 2012 slate, both previous meetings came during the 2005 season. UT posted a 25-9 overall mark in 2005 en route to the program's only NCAA Final Four appearance. The Big Orange lost in straight sets at Missouri early in the campaign, but avenged the loss when it counted with a victory over the Tigers in the Elite Eight.
- The annual "Dig for the Cure" match helps raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. A silent auction of UT athletics memorabilia will be held, with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation of Knoxville.
- With their new SEC era in full swing, the Tigers make their first trip to Knoxville on Friday with a 12-4 overall record and as one of four league teams with at least four conference wins with a 4-2 mark.
- Mizzou has league wins over the Lady Vols, Ole Miss, LSU and Georgia, while dropping matches to then-No. 13 Florida and fellow new member Texas A&M. The Tigers play six of their next seven matches on the road.
- Currently in second place in the Eastern Division, the Tigers are second in the SEC in hitting percentage and 17th nationally with a .282 attacking clip and lead the SEC in blocks with 2.81 per set.
- Mizzou comes in having averaged 3.17 blocks per set over the past eight matches. The Tigers have posted at least 10 blocks in seven of 16 matches this season.
- Sophomore Whitney Little is the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Week. She leads the SEC in blocks per set (1.49) in all matches and in conference matches (2.0). She has a pair of block-kill double-doubles and ranks 11th nationally in hitting (.423) and blocks (1.49), and is third in solo blocks (16).
- Junior All-American Lisa Henning leads the team offensively with 238 kills and a 4.33 kills per set average. She recently became the 11th Tiger in program history to go over 1,000 kills. She is currently No. 5 on the SEC's active kills list with 1,027.
- Wayne Kreklow and his wife Susan have combined to win over 250 matches at Mizzou. After his wife led the team for five seasons (2000-04), Wayne took over control and is in his eighth year at the helm and 13th overall season. The Kreklows have reached the NCAA Tournament 10 of the last 12 seasons.

Police investigate smoke bomb, bank robbery and carjacking
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Police are investigating a string of events in close succession including a smoke bomb, a bank robbery and a carjacking.
Just prior to the armed bank robbery at the Key Bank 3605 Hartsel Drive, some kind of smoke device was set off near the intersection on Woodmen between Rangewood and Lexington, possibly as a diversion.
Following the bank robbery there was a carjacking nearby that police say involved the same suspect.
Police say the suspect is a white man around 30 years old about 5'10" tall.
He may be in a black Toyota Corolla with Colorado license plate 999-UOA.

Flott liten leilighet midt i sentrum Her ligger uterestauranten på rad og rekke rett utenfor vinduet Det merkes også på lørdager. Helt super for 2 personer Vi var der i 10 dager Kunne vært greit om det var ett sett til med håndkler til disposisjon. Men det er vaskemaskin der så går fint an å vaske. Nespressomaskin og oppvaskmaskin var det også der. Anbefaler virkelig denne leiligheten hvis du skal til Alicante og oppleve byen. Vi var på golftur og parkerte bilen i parkeringshus rett ved. Helt genialt
We had a very good time at Ana's place! Ana is very lovely host and her flat offers everything one needs. Moreover the apartment is clean and it's location is perfect to explore the city.
We can recommend it
The apartment looks like on the pictures. Very nicely decorated. If you cook for yourself, there are enough pans, cutlery and other matters. Bed is comfortable. Fine shower. Good coffee maker. By Ana is also paid attention to many small details that very nice if you arrive sufficiently clean, toilet paper, towels.
Right in the middel of the center. At the end off the street,than to the left a bakkery for frech bread and it opens at 07.00 o clock. Also some supermercado at walking distance.
Excellent place to stay. It is very well equipped and as described. It is very near bars and restaurants and there can be a bit of noise from these at night.
Friendly, to the point, simple process.
Apartment is as in the pictures, very clean, great location. recommended.
L'appartamento è splendido in zona centralissima e molto viva e divertente. Ana è gentilissima e molto disponibile, è andato tutto a meraviglia. Torneremo sicuramente!
The apartament is awesome, in the very centre of the city, in a very good position repect to the night life, downtown, the port and the beach. Ana is very very kind and nice. Everything was sooo good! We will go there again, for sure!
Top Apartment ! Very good location , not far from the beach and supermarket ! The apartment is very clean and very nicely furnished ! Ana is very very nice , and it has for us , as a family with a two year old child everything works very well !
The appartment was very clean. It smelled lovely and the whole vibe was cosy. Ana was very helpful, wanted to book us another appartment when on our last night there was a problem with the plumbing. But we decided to stay cause we felt so at home there.
I would recommend an apartment at 100%. Flat nice, clean and right in the center of Alicante. Equipped with all appliances. Close to shops and restaurants. 10 minutes to the beach. The owner helpful and polite. I recommend :)
A very nice apartment in the center of Alicante. Very clean and cosy and functional.
Newly modernised with a good taste.
If you do not like the life on street friday and saturday night you have to keep the windows closed - if not it will be a bit noisy.
We had a pleasant stay and can recommend the apartment if you like to be close to everything.

Expanded Title:
The large resource base coal zones of the Waterberg Coalfield, located in the Limpopo Province, will enable the mining of coal in this area and will continue into the future. As the demand for energy in South Africa increases in the coming years, the coal produced from this area will prove essential. The main aim of the study was to identify the potential of acid generation from the overburden, interburden and plant discard that will be removed and placed on the discard dumps, and possibly used as backfill material. Acid Base Accounting (ABA) is used as a prediction tool to determine the acid potential of the lithological units. This aim was met via four objectives: 1. To determine the acid-base potential of all the different geological layers. 2. To determine the best methods of how to handle these spoils and discards in order to minimize the risk of acid generation. 3. If underground mining methods will be practised, what mining methods will be best to minimize the risk of acid generation? This was not investigated as too little information is available for such future mining. 4. Identify which further research need to be undertaken concerning the impact of mining of the Waterberg coal reserves on water resources. The ABA analyses of overburden indicated a dominantly neutralising potential, as well as an acidic potential for the shale units on top of the coal. The samples indicated non-acid producing potentials and some with neutralising potentials. The cumulative mass of sulphate produced, indicated that the overburden samples do not continue to produce sulphate, but rather reaches a constant rate where sulphide is produced. During the kinetic tests, the results for calcium and alkalinity were relatively high. The relatively low calcium values indicate that carbonates are immediately available and demonstrate the balance between the released alkalinity and the acidity generated. If the balance between the alkalinity and the acidity stays positive, the system will not acidify. The interburden contained both acidic and neutralising potentials. Mudstone, shale and calcrete layers indicated a neutralising potential, while sandstone had a relatively high acid generating potential. With prolonged exposure the system would acidify as sulphate is released into the system. Calcium and alkalinity results showed high calcium values, with relatively low alkalinity for the interburden. The high calcium values indicate the availability of carbonates, whereas in this case the carbonates are not immediately available. The plant discards consist of unwanted material that remains after coal separation, also known as composite samples. The different density composite samples were analysed and indicated that they all have a high potential to produce acid. The report presents management options for overburden, interburden, ash, spoils, and plant discards.

Bestchoice123.comInternet USA
Bestchoice123.com Overcharged $600 month to defer payment instead of withdrawing balance due Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company charges half of the loan balance per month to extend the payoff date. They charged me over $600 dollars per month on a $1100 dollar loan, reducing the balance by only $40 a month, while interest charges were added to increase the balance due. By contract, they were to withdraw the outstanding balance on the first payment. Every time I tried to arrange a payoff, they told me I was calling past the due date and they had no choice except to charge me $300 every two weeks to extend the due date. I never requested an extension.
This is a loan that is almost impossible to pay off. I spoke with a "supervisor" named Sharon, who laughed at me and stated that their company was not bound to observe any laws or regulations in California, even though they do business in this state.

Greetings dear art friends!
I've been having so much fun designing our new art goodies. I've been obsessed with hearts lately....so you'll find them as Buttons, Charms, Wood Cuts, Paper Dolls and more! I've also been into vintage labels and you'll see them in some of our new Collage Sheets and Wood Cuts. Check out What's New!
Are you planning to make valentines for some of the special people in your life this year? I sure am!
ARTchix products shown here: Lovely Labels, Red Labels Wood Cuts and Eco Hearts.
As I mentioned, I'm a heart lover and while playing in my studio one day, I realized that I'd love to have a special tin of hearts on hand that I could pull out whenever I needed a heart. Well, guess what?! I hand picked a dazzling selection of precious hearts and put them all in a handy tin for myself...and for you too. : ) This is a limited edition collection that even includes a few vintage hearts from my personal stash. Get them while you can!
Guess what? Inca helped me make some pretty valentines last weekend.
And the good news is...If you place an order over $30, I'm going to tuck one of these adorable handmade valentines in with your order. Woohoo! : )
Do you like the engraved heart with "H" on my valentine? I thought it was such a cute, unique way to "sign" my valentines.
Btw, curious about our Wine Cork Art Challenge from last week? Check out the amazing entries on facebook and help pick the winner.
See you next week with more fun and creativity! Wishing you a heART-filled week! : )

Hi guys,
I've trawled through the forums and have not found the answer I am looking for, so I decided to post my problem here.
I just bought the WD My Book Live 2TB drive and managed to connect it to my router which is connected to my desktop computer running Win XP SP3.
The initial setup went well, it was detected and all, created a public share and mapped the drive on my desktop.
But when I tried to create a second private share for myself, it keeps telling me that the drive has been mapped to another user name and password.
I have tried to manually map the drive, but there is still no change.
When I try to specify the user name and password to map the drive, it tells me that it has been set to USERPC\USER, where USER is my Win XP account name.
My user account name on XP had a space, but since the WD drive couldn't create a user with a space in the name, I changed the XP account name to one without a space.
Workgroup has also been changed from MSHOME to WORKGROUP, which is the default one from the WD drive.
My XP account is an administrator account, and it does not have a password as well. When I try to map the drive, I put USER in the user field and leave the password blank, same as for the user I created on the WD drive.
But it cannot map the private share and there will be a login popup that puts USERPC\USER in the user field with no password.
My laptop on Win 7 runs fine, mapped another private share drive in seconds. I know Win XP has problems with this, but I have tried the solutions on the knowledge base without any luck.
Is there anything else I can do?
This is actually a limitation in Windows, even in Windows 7. SMB connections are authenticated using the first username/password you mount or access a network drive with. Since Public has no password, subsequent connections are immediately authorized with no password, regardless of whether you specify one. You can attempt a work-around by using the drive's IP for one share and its Name for the other, i.e. \mybooklive\public and `220.127.116.11\privateshare. In Windows XP I have had no trouble using that "spoof."
Hi, where do I put the 2nd address into? Start > run?
Start > Run, or if you select "Map Network Drive" under "Tools" in explorer (not internet explorer). For the private share, make sure to access the share folder's name first or Windows will get the wrong credentials, and you'll have to restart to lose the password. Doing a cmd of:
net use /del *
will also remove all shares and their passwords (it will unmount any mapped network drives).
Thanks for the help, managed to set up one public and one private share on my desktop with XP and one public and 2 private shares on my laptop with Win 7.
One other thing, my WD smartware keeps saying that there is no writable WD smartware partition available in the drive although I have transferred nearly 100GB of files to the drive. Why is that so?
The Smartware issue can occur if Smartware can't read or write to the drive. The latest version of Smartware may resolve the issue. You'll also need to check UPnP on your PC and your Router, since Smartware uses UPnP for connections.
You may also need to update the firmware on your drive if the issue persists.
Make sure you are on the latest firmware release for the My Book Live. That issue (No writable smartware partition) was resolved.

A 25-year-old Paihia man has made his second appearance in court in relation to the bashing of a security guard.
Warren "Tiny" Dawson was struck from behind in the early hours of March 25 as he went to investigate a report of suspicious behaviour at the town's volunteer-built toilets on Marsden Rd.
He suffered a cut lip and bruising.
Later that night police arrested Kevin Micheal James Johnston, charging him with threatening to kill and assault with intent to injure.
Johnston, whose occupation is listed as a technician, was further remanded on bail and is due back in court on May 7.
He was in a group of three men and one woman, aged 17-25, who are suspected of vandalising the Marsden Rd toilets on the same night.
As of yesterday no arrests had been made in relation to the damage, but the Northern Advocate understands two of the suspects have lost their jobs.
