Georgian-Russian DDoS-attacks: a third party provocation
For last two weeks, Western media including many respectfull newspapers was spreading hysteria about "Russian hackers" who attacked Georgian sites during the fight on the border between Georgia and South Ossetia. No, our Webplanet magazine is not going to tell you "Russia is always right". We just say this story is a perfect situation to tell the difference beetween professional journalism and propaganda dummies. It is true that IT topics are hard for a common journalist. Yet the job of journalist is not about being a passive carier for the media viruses. So next time you want to recall "that story about Kremlin cyber-attacks", please take into account these facts:

Wow, who would have ever guessed that the criminals wouldn't turn in their guns ?
I hope this serves as a lesson . I'm going to e-mail this to every anti that I can think of, thanks for posting it.
I'm really amazed that this even happened in Australia, I would not have thought that the people would just give up their guns.
In a country where just about every plant,insect,and animal can or will kill you, I wouldn't walk across the lawn unarmed....lol

The Tampa Bay Rays announced the trade of catcher John Jaso for right-handed pitcher Josh Lueke and a player to be named later or cash considerations from the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Lueke, who turns 27 on December 5, made his Major League-debut in 2011 with Seattle, becoming one of the most effective relievers for the Mariners over last half of the season. The 6-foot-5 right-hander, who made the Opening Day roster but was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma after pitching in eight games, allowed 10 earned runs in 26 1/3 innings (3.42 ERA) in 17 appearances while surrendering 22 hits and seven walks with 21 strikeouts during his second stint with the Mariners.
"Josh has the stuff to get hitters out in the American League East and began to show that during the second half of last season," said Rays Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. "We believe he can be an important part of our success here for many years."
In five seasons in the Mariners and Texas Rangers minor league systems, he struck out 261 batters in 220 innings over 149 appearances, all in relief. In 2010, he was a combined 5-2 with a career-high 17 saves and a 1.86 ERA while pitching for four different teams at the Class-A, Double-A and Triple-A levels.
Lueke was sent down to the Minors in April after allowing 12 runs in 6.1 innings over eight appearances. After compiling a 2-4 record with 11 saves and a 2.76 ERA, Lueke, who was named to the midseason Pacific Coast League All-Star Team, returned to the Mariners and saw action in the second-most relief innings on the staff.
He was drafted by Texas in the 16th round of the 2007 June Draft out of Northern Kentucky University but was traded to the Mariners in 2010 along with Matthew Lawson, Blake Beavan and Justin Smoak for Cliff Lee and Mark Lowe.
Lueke faced rape and sodomy charges in Bakersfield, Calif., in the summer of 2009, but later pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of false imprisonment with violence. Lueke was sentenced to 40 days in prison, but was freed with time already served after agreeing to the plea bargain.
Jaso, 28, has been with the Rays for parts of the past four seasons. He batted .224 in 2011 with five home runs and 27 RBI in 89 games (67 starts).
His best season came in 2010 when he batted .263 in 109 games with five home runs, 44 RBI and 59 walks, tops among American League rookies.
In parting ways with Jaso, it appears the signing of veteran catcher Jose Molina may come in the next day or two.
Based in St. Petersburg, Fla., Chris Girandola has been a sports journalist for over eight years. After receiving his Master of Arts in Journalism and Media Studies from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, Girandola took his talents to New York, where he worked as an associate reporter for MLB.com covering the New York Mets. Following this stint, Girandola was hired as a regular contributor for Major League Baseball Advanced Media. His credits also include the Associated Press, St. Petersburg Times, Naples News, Florida Football Magazine, Kentucky Basketball Magazine, and Tampa Bay Business Journal. Girandola has also dabbled in collegiate athletics as a member of the St. Mary's College basketball team and is a coach for high school hoops.

Take an adventure holiday in TIBET with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Tibet has for centuries evoked images of a lost Shangri La! To this day, it's stunning Himalayan views, high plateau, beautiful Buddhist monasteries and extraordinary people combine to make Tibet one of the world's great travel experiences.
Tibet borders India, Burma, Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal. Covering a massive 1.22 million square kilometers, the plateau is surrounded by the highest mountain ranges, the Himalaya to the south, the Karakoram to the west and the Kunlun to the north. With an average elevation of 14,000 feet, Tibet is literally the highest nation on earth. Five of Asia's great rivers including the Indus, Mekong and Brahmaputra have their headwaters in Tibet, nearly half the world's population lives downstream from Tibet. Tibet's high plains, forests and mountains form a unique ecosystem on the planet and are home to an array of rare wildlife, including the snow leopard, blue sheep and Tibetan wild ass. This ecosystem and many of its species are now endangered.
Not only is Tibet home to Chomolongma – the local name for the highest peak in the world, but also to an incredible culture and history that emanates from the high, arid plateau that characterizes this striking land. World Expeditions' trekking & adventure travel holidays in Tibet take you well beyond the tourist trails, to discover the cultural heart and hidden corners where few travelers have been before.

I guess I'm the first to post here! It's PFD time, what are ya buying?
Eagle River here. Already got it spent. 4000 bullets, mag well and base pads for the XDs..........and paid off the lawn mower I used twice this year!
If your interested in shooting competitions and not busy this weekend, come out to the Mat Valley Sportsmans indoor range in Palmer. Shooting IDPA match Saturday 8:45 sign-in, and USPSA on Sunday same time.
I lived in Anchorage for ten years. Got there courtesy of the USAF. 21st Security Police (1979-1983). Went to UAA. Almost bought land in Wasilla but backed out at last minute.
I lived in Talkeetna when I was a kid if that counts('70-'72). Still have friends that live their. One is well known for climbing Denali, another works at the radio station.
Kenai here, and I thought I was the only Alaskan on here! where have you guys been hiding?!:cool:
I live in Anchorage! I sometimes shoot at the Rabbit Creek Range down by Potters Marsh.
Just found this forum today. I've been a long time member of thehighroad.org forum. I've lived in Kodiak for 3 years now
I lived in Anchorage for 12 years, left the State the year before the Permanent Fund payouts began, so I missed out on that.
I drew a brown bear permit on Kodiak in the spring of 1979, my partner and I hunted out of a cabin on Red Lake for 10 days. Never did see a bear, but the fishing was fantastic!
Figured I'd try to expand the Alaska page here. I've lived in Fairbanks now for about 12 years.
Mostly handgun shooting for me. Springfield TRP Operator .45, H&K .45 USP, Springfield XD 9mm, GLock 19 9mm, TZ75 9mm...etc. etc. etc... I love USPSA/IPSC shooting.
Hope to hear from someone soon!
I flew into, and out of Talkeetna once... Great little town. More sled dogs than humans... We hopped out of Achorage, into Talkeetna, resupplied some climbers at Denali base-camp, and flew back to Anchorage.
No better scenery on earth. Truely God's Country...
I hiked in to the Russian River (12 miles as I was told) back in 1967. I had a Ruger .44 Mag on my belt. Got to the river and ran into a fella with a big Rifle on his shoulder that said he was hunting Bear. His barrel had a hole in it as big as the one in my .44 and a bunch more brass behind the bullet. For some reason I went from real confident to feelings of way under gunned. I think you better at least double that .22 tn. :anim_lol: :anim_lol:
Agreed. The cold of a Fairbanks winter SUCKS! I've now lived in Alaska six years and I'm ready for warmer climates and easier (read cheaper) access to goods and services on par with the lower forty-eight's standards. Summer's here are HEAVEN but what a price to pay the other nine months of the year!
Nice to meet you all. ;)
Guess I'm a late comer to this forum. Hope some of you are still here. Been living outside Wasilla since 09/89.
I lived in Fairbanks for 6 years. Best 6 years of my life! Went back to Ca. for a L.E. job. 5 years to go for retirement.
God willing, I'll go back to stay.
Seward in March....o'boy is that fun!
I froze my butt off protecting the USS Alaska there.
It's cold enough in Missouri if you ask me!

Why is the Request For Enhancement Good?
jeffreylo 120000DQMW Visits (2355)
At Impact, we are announcing the new WebSphere Request for Enhancement Community. On Monday, we talked about why what it is in detail. Well, the next logic discussion is "why it is good for you and IBM"?
To start, the results of IBM's community-driven RFE system are remarkable. Over 20,000 RFEs have been submitted to date with almost 2,300 already delivered into a previously released version of a product, or in the next available release. Customers may submit RFEs for products in five IBM product families: Lotus, Rational, Tivoli, Information Management, and, recently WebSphere. And with the success of the program, more product groups are getting onboard, bringing closer to making the IBM RFE the one-stop shop for customer-driven requirements gathering. As a customer, never again do you have to worry about your requirements falling into virtual black holes. And as a product decision maker, the IBM RFE gives you access to your customers through a direct, manageable, and productive model.
Join the Unconference today (Wed May 2) at Impact to learn more about WebSphere RFE Community with Andrew Bates!

World Series of Archery
Last night we at our local club league we shot our first World Series of Archery event. We stuck with the their format other than we had 15 shooters, giving us an odd number, so we decided since this was the first time any of us have shot this round we all would be in the elimination bracket. With the odd number the top seed got a bye in the first round.
We did not allow anyone to pre shoot the paper, we started with an open mind and two practice ends. Top seed was my 12 year old son, shooting the only 11 on the final arrow. (He spanked his 15 year old brother with the final arrow, who shot a 332 during the 8 end portion) There is a total possible score of 44 on each of the 8 ends preceding the final arrow and many of us shot 40/41 or better the first shooting this target face. We had several 43s but no 44s. They will come as this face is larger than the 5 spot circles and I found it comfortable to center my scope.
The Final arrow, the one that matters! This dot is small, a 1/2' red dot that scores an 11, centered among scoring circles measuring ¼ out to a possible lowest score of a 5. These are red rings but you cant see them, all you see is the red dot! For those of you that have shot the Saturday night event at Iowa, you get the idea. I struggled a bit with this portion of the evening!
We shot the qualification round in exactly one hour including the two practice ends. Every one had a blast and I believe this target face will be a permanent portion of our spot league.
We will be hosting a WSOA money shoot on March 13th. The flyer is posted in the Tournament Discussion section. For those of you looking to give your league a boost, I strongly suggest this target face. Bret York (WSOA) has been very helpful and quick to reply with any questions we have had.
wsoa will get your league "fired up"
Thanks for the post Eric! These guys shot this round in their league and now want to host a tournament! Don't miss out on this exciting archery game, get your league to try this, you won't be dissapointed!

|[jira] [Commented] (CB-629) File API tests failing on WP7
|Mon, 07 May 2012 04:48:45 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-629?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13269363#comment-13269363 ] Ben Page commented on CB-629: ----------------------------- I'm pretty sure I'm correct is saying that the way the WP7 library reads the options from the exec command are completely wrong. The exec command sends an array of options, eg this one (I know this doesn't relate to the File API but it seems to be throughout the code): exec(successCallback, errorCallback, "Capture", "getFormatData", [this.fullPath, this.type]); However, in the WP7 library, it tries to evaluate that array via a JSON deserializer?? In the above example, it tries to deserialize to an object 'MediaFormatOptions' - but all the deserializer gets is a JSON representation of an array (ie, no member names), like this: mediaFormatOptions = JSON.JsonHelper.Deserialize<MediaFormatOptions>(options); Either the js code needs to be modified thus: exec(successCallback, errorCallback, "Capture", "getFormatData", {fullPath:this.fullPath, type:this.type}); OR the library needs to be changed so that each class (in this case, MediaFormatOptions) are built by deserializing a JSON **ARRAY** and then referring to the relevant member names. > File API tests failing on WP7 > ----------------------------- > > Key: CB-629 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-629 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: WP7 > Affects Versions: 1.7.0 > Environment: WP7 Jasmine tests > Reporter: Jesse MacFadyen > Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.8.0 > > > There are multiple failing tests in the updated Jasmine tests for the File API on WP7. Need to evaluate them individually, and fix them. > Some are trivial like "//" in a file path versus "/" or returning error result of 1 instead of 5, ... These all need to be evaluated and fixed, so we can have a clear idea of API support. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

QOTD: "The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president." –Prager Zeitungon

Jennifer Lawrence used to have a huge crush on Justin Timberlake and would spend hours staring at photos of him.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire actress would sometimes feel sick because she liked him so much.
Speaking in a Yahoo! fan Q&A, Jennifer said: "My teen crush [was] Justin Timberlake. Early 90s Justin Timberlake. I remember buying the 'N Sync CD. Remember how CDs had the pull-out picture things? I got so overwhelmed with hormones I almost threw up."
The 23-year-old star also shared her funniest memory from filming the highly-anticipated Hunger Games sequel, in which she reprises her role as fearless heroine Katniss Everdeen.
Jennifer believed she had a supernatural experience on set when she felt ancient spirits slap her butt, but realised after watching the playback that it was actually newcomer Sam Clafin's trident poking her in the rear.
She recalled: "We were in the middle of doing this scenes with the monkeys, There were all these choreographed fight. Something just whipped my butt. Something slapped my butt.
"We're watching playback. Josh [Hutcherson] is telling me it's ancient spirits and I'm believing it. Then we slowed down.
"The end of Sam's trident and flew off and whacked me in the butt. There was a red mark on my butt. That was funny."

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
To be honest, I was rooting for the Eagles football team to go 1-11.
When I mentioned this to friends, they jokingly responded, "What, to get the top draft pick?" While this vestige of pro sports fandom probably had more of an effect on rooting against my team than I imagine, more than anything I wanted to drive home just how bad this team is.
Frank Spaziani is not an FBS head coach, and the more horrendous a season he had, the more change would be enacted. I fully expect him to be fired after this season, although with a presumably 3-9 finish, there is unlikely to be a complete overhaul of the program.
There should be though. Why would anyone want to watch Boston College play at this point? Chase Rettig is probably more suited to be a Chaser than a quarterback, and that's a position in a sport that doesn't exist. Luke Kuechly is the only decent player on the team, and he is forced to do everything for every other member of the defense.
I do not feel the same way about the basketball team. I believe in head coach Steve Donahue, but there are going to be some growing pains this year. He was dealt a very difficult hand, with the loss of a bounty of seniors and junior Reggie Jackson.
Those departures accounted for the entire starting lineup and almost all of the team's production. There are only three players on this year's squad who saw action last year. John Cahill is the only starter of those three, and he is a former walk-on who is currently listed in this year's program as a student manager.
I doubt he was on Coach K's recruiting radar. The other two returnees are little more than decent rotation players. Danny Rubin is a good shooter who seems to have no idea what weights are, and Gabriel Moton's only discernible skill appears to be, "decent dribbling."
There is some talent among the freshmen, and there is reason to believe that they will be competitive as soon as next year.
They will be a tortured mess this year though, as evidenced by Friday night's 22-point loss to Patriot League titan Holy Cross. It was the Crusaders' first win of the season, after sound defeats to the murderers row that is the College of Charleston and Harvard.
The Eagles' leading scorer in the game was Jordan Daniels, a freshman point guard I could easily post up (I'm 6-foot-1). In their defense, forward Patrick Heckmann, a German player who led the Eagles in their home-opening win over UNH, was out with a sprained ankle.
If they are so thin that the loss of a relatively unknown freshman sends them into a tailspin, I can't imagine how the ACC schedule is going to go.
This athletic program is a far cry from where it was just a few years ago, when the basketball team racked up All-Americans, Matt Ryan was in the Heisman discussion, and Al Skinner was named National Coach of the Year.
On the bright side, the Eagles are first in Hockey East.

Brazen theft from Parisian bridge baffles city
PARIS (Reuters) - The gilded Pont Alexandre III bridge in Paris has lost some of its sparkle after thieves made off with the historic monument's bronze plaques in the latest theft from a Parisian landmark.
Despite the watchful eye of its elaborate statues of nymphs and winged horses high above the Seine River, two plaques proclaiming the name of the monument were seized by thieves this month, officials said.
While the bronze used to make the two stolen plaques sells at about 10 euros ($13.06) per kg, the city of Paris declined to comment on the value of the ornamental pieces stolen.
"We have no idea whether they were taken for their metal or by collectors," a town hall spokeswoman said.
She said they would be replaced as soon as possible with identical copies.
"It's not a question of metallic value but of historic value," she said.
French police have struggled with metal theft in the years since the global economic crisis hit, with 5,800 hours of train delays caused in 2010 by the removal of copper from railways.
General metal theft in Paris dropped by about a quarter between 2011 and 2012, a police official said, meaning that whoever removed the plaques from the bridge were part of a die-hard few left targeting public monuments.
Thieves routinely hack bits of steel off the pedestrian Pont des Arts bridge further down the river, city officials say. Continued...

Push button flush WC - how do I get the lid off?
I have a push button flush on my Loo. The cistern is constantly flowing into the pan (not just when you flush). 2 problems - 1 -Cant get the lid off ... 2- what then?
If it is a twin button flush try gently prising the buttons out, there is usually a screw underneath the buttons that hold the cistern lid down.
If it is a single button try turning the whole button housing anti clock wise as it is usually screwed into the top of the flush valve to hold the cistern lid down.
Once inside you will probably find the float valve to be at fault but without more information it is hard to give any advice on this, as there are several different designs
All fixed. Thanks very much!

Limiting the number of messages
I'm creating a program with procedures that often depend on
sub-procedures. Many times I allow the sub-procedures to do the input
checking, so I don't have to write a the same error trapping conditions
and messages for each level of the program. The problem is however that
although the 'input checking' is passed on to a sub-procedure, the main
procedure continues to attempt to evaluate, and can usually return a
very long list of error messages whilst it foolishly attempting to
evaluate with improperly input variables.
I would like to know how to make a procedure abort its evaluation after
say 3 or so messages, and simply return the name of the procedure and
the variables (as happens when you use /; for conditionals). I have
tried the use of Check[], and although it checks for messages, it will
only return what is typed in to the space for a second argument (eg:
Check[f[a], "problem"] will return simply "problem"), I would like to be
able to tell the user how they have screwed up.
Many thanks,
Sean McConnell.

Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande will meet the leaders of student representative councils on Thursday. He has urged student leaders to talk to him if they still have problems over university fees.
Nzimande was reacting to the news that #FeesMustFall protests had resumed at Wits University and at the University of Johannesburg (UJ).
Unisa's Sunnyside campus was closed in Pretoria following violent outsourcing protests. Nzimande earlier unveiled a plan to avert protests.
This includes R10 billion for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), and a further R6.9 billion to cover students whose financial aid was not paid for the last three years.
Meanwhile, Wits University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Tawana Kupe says: "We are going to do online and telephonic registrations. We will resume face to face registrations for 3 faculties on Wednesday because in those faculties like Humanities and Science students need to walk in and choose specific subjects from a variety of courses. In the faculties where we are registering now it's what we call an extra-curriculum. If you are not choosing anything so you can actually register online."
Professor Kupe also says the registration fee has been cancelled.
"We have phased out registration fees. However, if a student has the money to pay something that's fine by us. If they are not able to pay something they must just fill in a form that says they are not paying. You don't have to prove that you can't pay."

In terms of purchasing a trolley gantry crane, there are numerous of things you must consider to buy the right kind of gantry crane. Here is a set of the factors you must consider to get an ideal crane to meet your needs.
Just about the most critical factors in deciding the design of high quality gantry crane will be clear about your expectations. There are numerous of things you need to decide on like the weight in the average load that this crane will be likely to lift. Similarly, in addition, you need to take into consideration the amount of loads that this crane will lift per hour and per shift but the number of shifts each day and the amount of days in one week.
You should also take into account the typical travel distance of the port crane along with the speed of crane. You ought to be clear about crane service class classifications before you speak to various crane suppliers to make sure that you realize the most significant factors that affect the complete efficiency in addition to pricing of any engineering gantry crane of Ellsen. There are several types of hoists including electric, air powered along with manual hoist. The type and brand is typically suggested with the crane supplier.
Visit here http://ellsengantrycranesales.com/trolley-gantry-crane-sale/ to know more informatio about Ellsen's trolley gantry crane with advanced technology and cheap price.
Several steel plates and sections are welded together to create a crane. The greater steel can be used, the heavier plus more expensive the device will probably be. You can reduce the overall cost and weight from the crane by controlling several of its structural design elements. Do not forget that high quality hydraulic gantry cranes will even require regular maintenance. Additionally it is recommended to look at the service walkways towards the crane because it will offer a safer working environment for maintenance personnel and also aid in reducing maintenance downtime.
There are mechanical and electrical components on the crane. The service classification affects each of the components around the crane and for that reason, you need to discuss the true secret components with the supplier of the crane to be sure that they are suitable for your financial allowance as well as the intended application.
Just about the most important components in a trolley gantry crane of Ellsen is its motor. A crane is useless with no good motor. Therefore, you have to properly look into the type along with rating in the motors with your crane to make certain that it is actually adequate for that intended application. Usually, a totally enclosed frame is preferred as bigger motor frame dissipates more heat.
The latest technology you can purchase today allows for better speed control and excellent crane positioning. However, solid-state electronic control systems are certainly not the best choice in certain particular environments. Therefore, you want to consider possible control systems along with their life cycle expense of maintenance to create a decision.
Operator control can be another factor you have to consider. For instance, the crane might be operated in the operators?cab, coming from a pushbutton pendant station or from your radio handheld remote control.
Overall, these are some of the important factors you should consider prior to signing up a buying agreement by using a crane supplier.

Twenty plus years ago Bea Salazar was blessed with a vision and a mission after observing the needs of many low income apartment children. These many years later, hundreds of these youngsters have attained a high school diploma and succeeded in stepping out into life with strength and confidence in their future...some even with advanced education in mind. I bake a monthly cupcake treat for the Carrollton Center and am welcomed by the smiling faces of three rooms of extremely polite and well behaved youngsters eagerly finishing their homework with the help of caring volunteers knowing their dedicated help is giving these young minds a definite chance to grow and succeed in the years ahead. Thank you Bea Salazar for the long time success of "BEA'S KIDS" ... through your faithfulness to a much needed cause, your determined efforts have seen this wonderful program continue to grow.
Mi name is Jairo Casados and I am 22 years old, 16 years ago I traveled to the USA for the first time with my mother and sister, yes we were immigrants, we didn't have much family in Dallas, Texas, we were on our own and my parents didn't speak english, how would they help us with our education and personal development? It was difficult to adapt since we came from a different country and culture, by that time we needed to learn english to get through school and life, we never lost hope and my mother was a very friendly person, she found out with one of our latin neighbors, that there was this club named Bea's Kids where they helped children with low incomes, she saw a great opportunity, long story short...I remember Bea's Kids as a great place where they helped me with my homework, where I had the opportunity to learn and socialize with other kids, they made me feel like in home (great snacks =9), I was a confident kid and was not afraid to confront the world, thanks to that I got a lot of great notes in school...I will never stop thanking Bea's Kids for helping me and my family when we most needed it...now I live in Mexico and I am studying computer engineering, I am happy to know that Bea's Kids keeps helping children, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! ñ_ñ
Bea's Kids has been helping children from low-income families stay in school and break the cycle of poverty for more than 20 years. I have worked for Bea's Kids for 11 years and have had the pleasure of working with many amazing children. Many who are now responsible adults making a positive contribution to our communities. Bea's Kids has helped hundreds of kids graduate from High School, who may not have done so if not for this program. The positive impact that this program has made throughout the years is invaluable. I'm proud to work with Bea's Kids and even more proud of my mother Bea Salazar. I'm honored to be Bea's kid!
Bea's Kids is a great organization!! Not only do they help the kids, they help the community which is great. I have been working with Bea's Kids for almost 3 months now and I love the kids and enjoy the people I work with.
I have been with Bea's Kids since I was in the 2nd grade and can honestly say that it is a wonderful organization. I have now graduated high school and am part of the program serving as the Farmers Branch Center Director. Everyday is both satisfying and rewarding, the fact that Bea's Kids helps all of these children do something better with their lives and keep them occupied on good things is a very good thing. Everyday I get to help kids with their school work as well as have fun with them, and let me tell you, there is no better feeling at the end of the day than knowing you helped make a positive difference in someones life. I can personally say that Bea's Kids can and has changed lives, it helped me become the person I am today. Instead of being out doing other things, everday I would go to the center and work on my homework as well as on other activities and thatnks to the daily encouragment and help I received from the volunteers and everyone else there I suceeded at school. There was not one day that I would not look forward to going to the tutoring center, everyday was fantastic. This truly is a great organization that I will be thankful to for the rest of my life.
I volunteered for four years at Bea's Kids as the Tutoring Manager. My most satisfyng outcome was the high school graduation of six students those four years. There is nothing like the feeling you are making a difference every time you tutor a student.
Bea's kids provided both my daughters with exposure to the non-profit world as well as to helping children. It inspired them to create an initative "Sitting for snacks" where monies they earned was used to procure heallthy snacks which were then donated to the center for Bea's Kids to have while studing after school. Many of hours were volunteered during the school years and during the summers. Bea's Kids allowed them to volunteer in accordance to their own schedule and was a win-win-win opportunity for all. After meeting Bea and understanding the origin of the organization, one daughter vowed to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches almost every day at school to remind her of how fortunate she is and how others may not be so much.
I have been volunteering at Bea's Kids for a few years. Each time I volunteer feels great because I know that I can make a difference in someone's life and that feeling is priceless.
Bea's Kids has been helping low income children after school for years and years. Their after-school program is often the help and encouragement and love these children receive on an on-going basis. I'm thrilled to help in every way possible!
I've been volunteering for Bea's Kids for five years. They do a great job of providing a safe place for kids to go after school to get help with their homework. Bea Salazar started it more than 20 years ago because she saw a need in her community. She's still very involved in the organization and the good it does for the Dallas, Farmers Branch, and Carrolton communities. They encourage kids to stay in school and give them the tools to help them succeed.
Previous Stories
I've been volunteering with Bea's Kids for over five years. I've also served on the board for one year. I think it is a wonderful organization. Bea Salazar, the founder, is the most caring person I've ever met. The kids who come to Bea's Kids enjoy having a safe place to go after school and get help with their homework. They learn that someone other than their parents considers their education very important. They also learn that there are other people out there who care about them and will listen to them when they have problems. I started volunteering with Bea's Kids with my daughter for her service hours for school. My daughter is now away in college, but I still volunteer as much as I can.

A few thoughts from the week in sports ...
Say what you want about the Cleveland Indians' prospects entering the 2013 season opener at the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday, and as the year progresses, but don't say owner Paul Dolan is cheap anymore.
The Indians certainly opened their check books during this offseason, but now the biggest storyline surrounding the team will be if it was money well spent.
In the biggest one-season overhaul in team history, the Indians assembled a team with a projected payroll of $76 million for this season. It will be the second biggest bankroll in team history.
The Indians' makeover started with Terry Francona being hired as the team's new manager a few days after the 2012 season ended. He replaced Manny Acta, whose low-budget club went 68-94 last season and 80-82 in 2011.
Francona ranks with former Cavaliers' coach Lenny Wilkens as the two highest profile, most accomplished bench bosses to come to Cleveland in the last four decades.
Although Francona stressed no promises were made to him about the Indians opening up their wallets, one has to think that he was told in private by GM Chris Antonetti that the team had a plan to get significantly better.
With free-agents signees Nick Swisher (1B-OF), Michael Bourn (CF), Mark Reynolds (DH-1B), Mike Aviles (INF) and Brett Myers (P), along with trade acquisitions Drew Stubbs (OF) and Trevor Bauer (P, likely to start in Triple-A), the Indians have the potential to be much, much better.
The projected Opening Day lineup could bring back memories of GM John Hart's 1990s wrecking crew at Jacobs Fields on some nights, but a huge propensity to strike out could also spell big trouble.
Here's how the Tribe's expected to open up the season: 1. Bourn (CF), 2. Asdrubal Cabrera (SS), 3. Jason Kipnis (2B), 4. Nick Swisher (1B), 5. Michael Brantley (LF), 6. Carlos Santana (C), 7. Reynolds (DH), 8. Lonnie Chisenhall (3B), 9. Stubbs (RF).
Of course, it's Cleveland and there could be a flip side to the roster overhaul. The Tribe's lineup returns the third most strikeouts in baseball, with seven players who fanned 100 or more times; topping 140 punchouts were Bourn, Swisher, Stubbs and all-time single-season record-holder Reynolds (180 last year for Orioles, record 223 in 2009 for Diamondbacks).
The starting pitching staff has more question marks than a middle school grammar book. Opening Day starter Justin Masterson went just 11-15 last year and had a 4.30 ERA, while No. 2 starter Ubaldo Jimenez was 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA. Myers (3-8. 3.31 ERA combined for Astros, White Sox), Zach McAllister (6-8. 4.24 as a rookie) and Scott Kazmir (pitched in Independent league for Sugarland Skeeters) don't exactly solidify a fan's confidence in the Tribe playing October baseball.
The Indians' bullpen should be a strength, though, led by All-Star closer Chris Perez.
X-FACTORS -- If the Indians collectively play to their potential, they will compete for a playoff spot and it will be a memorable summer on the Lakefront. If many of the aforementioned flaws show themselves, Cleveland will struggle to even play .500 baseball and it will look like the front office overpaid for this squad.
Four players who will have the biggest impact on the season are Masterson, Jimenez, Bourn and Kipnis.
The front-end righthanders must start strong and find the consistency they lacked last season. I can see Masterson taking the next step, but there's a reason why the Rockies were willing to part with Jimenez (has gone downhill since 19-8 season in 2010) and Tribe fans should be concerned that he'll struggle again.
Bourn (.279, 9 HRs, 42 SB with Atlanta in 2012) will need to have a big season to set the tone as the leadoff hitter and center fielder and has all the tools to do that. Francona has told Kipnis (.257, 14 HR, 76 RBI, 31 SB) to relax with all the veteran hitters surrounding him, but the young second baseman will still need to produce in the all-important No. 3 hole for the lineup to click.
TRIBE PREDICTION -- The law of averages says that the Indians will fall somewhere between contender and pretender and that's what I'm going with.
There will be lots of fun games and personalities to follow this summer, but the lack of starting pitching and hitters who consistently make contact will keep the Tribe from overtaking the loaded Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.
Most media outlets are predicting a third- or fourth-place finish for the Indians, including Sports Illustrated projecting the Tribe to be 75-87 and wind up fourth.
I'm hoping for better things. The optimist in me is forecasting an 82-80 second-place finish behind the Tigers -- and a big step toward contending in 2014.
(NOTE: Watch for a complete Cleveland Indians' season preview, including statistics and a season schedule, in Monday's Daily Record).
SPRING SPORTS SEASON OPENS -- The Daily Record Spring Sports Preview is in today's paper a day after the 2013 season opened for high school teams Saturday. Here are some of the top baseball-softball storylines I'm looking forward to following:
n As featured in today's preview, West Holmes and Orrville have loaded lineups returning from long tournament runs last year. It will be interesting to see if one of those teams can break through and win the Ohio Cardinal Conference title and if both can duplicate or better last year's tourney runs.
n The Wayne County Athletic League has significantly changed the schedules for baseball and softball this year. Instead of a round-robin format in which WCAL teams play a particular opponent in two rounds during the season, they will play both their games against the same league foe in the same week using a Monday-Wednesday format. It's a schedule already in use by the Ohio Cardinal Conference and Principals Athletic Conference, which makes a much bigger difference in baseball.
Instead of being able to use the same ace pitcher against a top challenger twice in the same season, with a Monday-Wednesday format it will take a No. 1 and 2 starter to sweep an opponent.
"We let the principals know that all of our baseball coaches were in favor of it," Northwestern coach Josh Frank said. "Ideally, with this format you won't see the same pitcher twice. You'll see who the deeper teams are.
"I think it's a welcome change."
Longtime Norwayne coach Bruce Slater said he's not entirely sure if he'll like the change, but was willing to go along with it and see how it works.
"I think it has its good and its bad," Slater said. "We start off with Northwestern, but we won't see them again the rest of the (regular) season. We'll get to see some different pitchers from each team, though.
"I'm willing to give it a try."
This may be one of the most balanced years for the WCAL baseball chase, with no clear-cut favorite. Last year's co-champs Hillsdale and Norwayne suffered some key losses, but should be strong again. Coaches are also pointing to Chippewa and Dalton as much-improved, while Northwestern always seems to be in the hunt.
"I really think it's going to be wide open this year," Slater said. "It should be a real fun league."
n Hiland graduated most of its Div. IV State Final Four lineup, but the pipeline of talent is so strong in Berlin the Hawks will likely be strong again. Wooster graduated two Div. I college pitchers in Luke McGee (Ohio State) and Devin Daugherty (Bowling Green), but will still try to push veteran teams from West Holmes and Orrville in the OCC race.
n Dalton surprised a lot of people by sneaking in for a share of the WCAL softball title with Hillsdale last season. Those two teams should be strong again. Orrville is the defending champ in the OCC and looks strong again, while Wooster and West Holmes will be trying to get out of the bottom half of the league.
PARTING SHOTS -- Congrats to the Ashland University women's basketball team for winning the Div. II national title Friday night. The Eagles wound up 37-1 on the season after defeating Dowling (N.Y.) 71-56 in the title game. It's the first national title in any sport for an Eagles team.
n It's been a pleasure watching Ohio State pull off consecutive buzzer-beater wins in the NCAA Tournament to reach the Elite Eight, where it took on Wichita State Saturday night. Buckeyes coach Thad Matta is as good as any coach in the nation in my book and point guard Aaron Craft plays as hard as anyone.
That's a pretty good 1-2 leadership duo and the rest of the Buckeyes have developed some pretty good chemistry as well in building around leading scorer DeShaun Thomas.

Request the 12-1-4 or not?
I guess I should start by saying I'm a relatively new 2012 Focus owner. I've had my SFE for 3 months and have 4500 miles on it (build date is 15.08.2011). And I have the Automated DCT
I took a couple test drives and was impressed by the overall driving characteristics of the car. This is also the first time in 19 years that I've owned a vehicle with an automatic transmission of any kind.
I've noticed a few oddities after I had the car for a few days. The oddities persist to this day.
1. There is a VERY slight shudder when the car shifts at slow speeds (meaning low RPM and low gear). Accompanying the shudder is what sounds like a heat shield rattle.
2. Initial acceleration from a stop is inconsistent. Sometimes it starts off smoothly. Sometimes there is a sudden acceleration. This is all with about the same amount of foot pressure on the accelerator.
Other than that, the transmission seems to perform just fine. Throttle response is good. Shifting is reasonably smooth. All the varying responses to the 12-1-4 TSB has me wondering. When I go in for my first maintenance, should I request the TSB be applied -or- specifically request that the dealer DOES NOT apply it?

Weeden, who played pro baseball before starring for the Cowboys at quarterback and helping the program to a Big 12 Championship and BCS bowl win in the Fiesta Bowl, completed 141 of 267 passes this season for 1,731 yards with nine touchdown passes and nine interceptions.
RA: Tell me about the good news you and Melanie received this fall?
Weeden: We've been trying for awhile and finally got lucky and it has happened. We are expecting a boy in July. It kind of puts things in perspective, and when he arrives it will be even more so. We're extremely excited about it and once he comes a lot of things will become secondary and we'll put things into even more proper perspective, I would imagine.
RA: Fans will be able to see you do something different this weekend with the Gridiron Outdoors appearance on the Outdoor Channel and the tarpon fishing. How was that experience for you?
Weeden: It was quite the trip because I'd never been fishing for big fish like that. I went down there and the first day was too windy and we couldn't get out to the big boys. The second day we went out and I landed a couple but those things require technique and the first one I hit, I sat the hook just like I would do with a bass and that thing went right back out at me and that is kind of like the ultimate slap in the face, and the competitor I am, I wanted to try and get right back out there and get another one. I caught one for about 25-30 minutes and I just couldn't get it to the boat. We caught some little guys and that is a whole other story.
They are like Greg Maddux throwing a fastball in the black and you have to throw a perfect cast every single time. It was very challenging. We had a guide named Sand King and he is the best in Mexico. it was cool because he has a really great set up at his house with all the people that he's fished with and have caught big fish. We had a couple of hours before our flight left and I said let's go out and try again and land one. Then about an hour and 15 minutes late we had one in the boat. it was worth the trip and it made for better TV.
RA: I know it was a tough season in Cleveland, but I prefer to look at the best memory. I really enjoyed when you came off the bench on the Thursday night game and led the Browns to a win over Buffalo. I'd have thrown away the Deion Sanders memorabilia that the NFL Network people gave you.
Weeden: Obviously, I was facing a little bit of adversity there after I got hurt in week two and I couldn't come back until that Thursday night game and I didn't get the start and it was too bad that Brian (Hoyer) went down. It had been a tough time and throw an incomplete pass and they boo you. That's just the way it is up there. To hear boos on the first play when I came in there and we ran a trick play throwback and they boo me.
To come back and lead that offense down and score 30-35 points, whatever it was and beat a good Buffalo Bills team, that was the highlight of my year. It was a crazy year. To put it in perspective it was a crazy, crazy year for me. Like I said, I've never been faced with that kind of adversity and to pat myself on the back, I thought I handled it like a true professional. I think that will really help me out down the road.
RA: I followed the news conferences and it is tough when you have a coach your first year as a rookie. You bring in a new coach and now after a year, he's gone.
Weeden: You know, you look across the league and it's going back to the '80s and '90s, but the teams that are having success have stability whether it is coaching, players at key positions, guys like Manning, Brady, and Brees. Those guys have been in the same system with the same coaches calling plays. When you have that stability with the same head coach... When you have coaching changes and a revolving door, it's hard enough in that league as it is without that kind of stability. Cleveland, it is just a revolving door up there. This is such a win now league and there is no patience.
RA: I know you really appreciated Clint Chelf as a friend and a backup when you were at OSU. You had to be happy with how he has overcome adversity and finished strong in his Cowboy career.
Weeden: Obviously, I was very excited about the way he handled it. I know there were rumors out there that he had quit but he stuck through it and continued to fight through it and got his number (called). That Baylor game he was on fire and I think again, he didn't face the best scenario and got through it and really played well.
We are good friends and still talk some and I was happy to see him have the success he has. There is no bigger thrill than playing in Boone Pickens Stadium and winning a football game and walking through that tunnel. That is a great feeling. It is something that he will remember like I will for the rest of his life. It is a special time when you are playing at Oklahoma State.

becoming a teacher
I wasn't sure just where to put this....
I'm interested in becoming a teacher (elementary/special ed) and I'm currently in school. I haven't started taking any education classes I still need to finish up some pre req. classes.
It will about two more years and I will be finished with school.
For those of you who are teachers what things did you do to prepare for this career? Are there any books, websites, etc you can recommend. I have a friend who teaches middle school and she has a ton of children's books - did you start collecting them early for your classes?
I have played around and looked at a few websites and they have neat ideas...should I start keeping these lesson plans for ideas later?
Thanks for any advice!!
Daphne, I too teach EC students. It is one of the most rewarding jobs you'll ever do. Yes collect them, and go to the schools and tell them you are interested in watching one of the EC classes. Most EC Teacher would love for you to come in and just hang out and get the feel of what goes on in an EC classroom. Some schools will even hire you as you are going to school.06-09-2003, 07:01 PM #3

OPPOSITION Leader Dr Keith Rowley has described the Constitution (Amendment) Bill as the embodiment of dont split the vote, and is advising the Independent Bench to consider that the bill, which will be laid today in the Senate and debated on August 26, was not supported by the entire Cabinet.
I would say to all the Independents...just take a look. Any prime minister that cannot get the Cabinet to agree to a measure, such a measure has no place in the Parliament. They couldnt even get the Cabinet to agree to it. So Im waiting to see how the Independents can agree to it, he said.

South Korea confirms North Korea conducted third atomic test
The White House is calling North Korea's latest nuclear test a "highly provocative act" that threatens U.S. security and international peace. In a statement issued early Tuesday, President Barack Obama promises to "continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies."
He also urges "swift and credible action by the international community."
North Korea says it successfully detonated a miniaturized nuclear device at a northeastern test site Tuesday, defying U.N. Security Council orders to shut down atomic activity or face more sanctions and international isolation.
Obama says such efforts "do not make North Korea more secure." Instead, he says, North Korea has "increasingly isolated and impoverished its people through its ill-advised pursuit of weapons of mass destruction."
The U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting Tuesday morning on North Korea's nuclear test. South Korea's U.N. Mission says the closed-door meeting will begin at 9 a.m. (1400 GMT).
South Korea joined the Security Council in January for a 2-year term and currently holds the council's rotating presidency. South Korea's Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan is in New York to preside over a council meeting scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. (1500 GMT) on the protection of civilians in armed conflicts.
South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok says North Korea informed China and the United States of its plans to conduct a nuclear test.
Kim says that shortly before noon Tuesday an earthquake was detected in North Korea.
The earthquake was detected just north of a site where the country has conducted nuclear tests, providing strong indication that Pyongyang has gone ahead with a highly anticipated third test. There was, however, no confirmation of the test.
The South Korean Defense Ministry, which raised its military alert level after the quake, said it was trying to determine whether it was a test. Nuclear blasts can create tremors but they are distinct from those caused by natural earthquakes.
The U.N. organization monitoring nuclear tests says it has detected an "unusual seismic event" in North Korea.
The U.S. Geological Survey as well as earthquake monitoring stations in South Korea detected an earthquake just north of a site where North Korea conducted its second nuclear test in 2009.
The United States and its allies have been on edge since North Korea said last month it will conduct its third nuclear test to protest toughened sanctions over a December rocket launch that the U.N. called a cover for a banned missile test.
North Korea's politburo vowed to continue firing "powerful long-range rockets," but a statement by state media Tuesday made no mention of a nuclear test.
North Korea's National Defense Commission said Jan. 23 that the United States was its prime target for a nuclear test and long-range rocket launches. North Korea accuses Washington of leading the push to punish Pyongyang for its December rocket launch.
Last October, a spokesman from the commission told state media that the country had built a missile capable of striking the United States, but did not provide further details. A missile featured in an April 2012 military parade appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile, but its authenticity has not been verified by foreign experts.

Course programme
- Clinical and Applied Science in Urological DiseaseTaught by practising, research-active consultant urologists, this module will link your studies to your own practice. You'll deepen your understanding of the anatomy, basic sciences and path-physiology of urological conditions, improving your clinical decision making for e¬ffective diagnosis and determining appropriate surgical and non-surgical management pathways. You'll gain an enhanced understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of pathology, and the correct clinical and radiological examination options together with current evidence base to underpin practice.
- Clinical Leadership and Service Development (30 credits)Clinical governance provides a framework through which healthcare organisations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish. Several strategies in achieving continuous quality improvement include effective clinical leadership, development of staff, implementation of evidence based practice and engaging in effective audit and evaluation of services against a backdrop of best practice to identify service development needs. Central to this is accountability and risk management. Doctors/surgeons are in a unique position with which to lead and develop care. The role of clinical audit is pivotal in providing supporting evidence for service development. Allied to this is the need for robust knowledge of leadership theory and the management of change, together with ethical and legal principles. The role of the team will be identified with the importance of clinical competence as a key component in the continuing professional development of the doctors/surgeons and the staff that they lead. Assessment will be a service development plan from your own area of practice.
- Research StudiesDesigned to provide you with a critical overview of the main methodologies and designs applied to research within health, social work and social care, professional practice and policy. It provides you with an opportunity to explore the theoretical dilemmas which underlie the process of inquiry and its relationship to practice. All professionals need to be highly skilled and knowledgeable to meet the demands of complex activity which underpins much professional practice and demonstrate that research directly informs practice. It'll provide a framework within which to select, evaluate and justify the research methods chosen by you for your research project. The module requires you to prepare and write a research proposal which will normally lead to a level 7 dissertation. Hence prior knowledge of some research approaches at level 6 is expected. This module is taken by students on a variety of MA/ MSc/MCh courses. Learning will usually be with a group of students who bring different academic and/or professional interests to their study, thus providing a community of collaborative working well suited to interdisciplinary exploration.
- Major ProjectThe major project is at the centre of the Masters award and allows you to demonstrate your creativity and apply the skills and concepts you have learned in the previous modules. It is the opportunity for you to carry out an in depth study in a specific area and to expand or redefine existing knowledge. In practical terms, you'll be provided with a list of available research projects prior to the major project but will also have the opportunity to suggest your own projects. It is hoped that many of these projects will be carried out with either an industrial partner or a clinician. In the course of the project you may generate intellectual property, defined as an idea, invention or creation which can be protected by law from being copied by someone else.
We use a range of assessment methods to check your progress during your studies and make sure that you'll meet the required standards when you complete the course.
Methods include essays, case reports, blogs, presentations, on line activities, literature reviews, a research proposal, a work-related project, a major project (dissertation/report), exams and a viva voce oral Q&A.
Although they vary, our assessment strategies are all carefully designed to challenge you so that you expand your critical and creative thinking as well as your problem-solving skills.This is a two year, part-time programme
Please note that you will need to complete all of the above core modules. This course does not have any optional modules. Modules are subject to change and availability.
Additional information
Course fees:UK & EU students, 2016/17 (per year part time) £4,600

Redesigning the Creating Healthier Communities Fellowship Program
For the past 12 years, the Health Forum (now part of the Health Research and Educational Trust) has offered a leadership training program for individuals involved in improving community health. The Creating Healthier Communities (CHC) Fellowship Program is a 15-month intensive educational and action learning curriculum that has trained more than 500 individuals. Despite continued need for leadership in community health, the Program's enrollment has declined. This grant supports a multicomponent assessment and redesign of the CHC Fellowship Program so that it might better address the leadership needs of the current environment in communities. Assessment will include literature review, focus groups, and in-depth interviews coordinated by a redesign working group. From this research, recommendations for redesign will be made with the expectation that a redesigned program could accept applications in fall 2005. Success for this project will be the design of a program more responsive to the needs of communities.

Timo Glock says there are 'no downsides' to his partnership with Charles Pic amid reports of a rift between the two drivers and speculation that the Frenchman could be replaced next season.
Problems surfaced in Hungary when the German criticised his teammate for holding him up in qualifying, although Glock has since denied there are any issues at Marussia.
"He's quite strong for his first year in Formula 1 and we work together quite well. There are no downsides to it," he told F1Pulse.com exclusively.
"Let's see what he can do next year or what he does if he stays or if he changes team. We'll see," he added.
The former Toyota driver has come under pressure from his rookie teammate this year and their battle in Spa demonstrated the intense rivalry between the two.
Glock initially passed Pic into the La Source hairpin but the Frenchman re-took the position exiting the corner, forcing Glock to pull another move on the run down to Les Combes.
"Until a certain point it was good. On the other side, we had some good discussions after that but in general it was a good fight," the 30-year-old pointed out.
Since moving to the team in 2010, Glock has had three different teammates in three years but the German, who is contracted until the end of 2014, doesn't see this as an issue.
"No, it's not a problem for me because I just try to help the team and bring it forward. So far I don't have a problem with changing teammates," he explained referring to speculation that Pic may give way to recently appointed reserve Max Chilton next season.

Washington, Dec 12 (IANS) Pope Benedict XVI Wednesday took a bold step into the world of social media, when he issued his first tweet from his personal account using the handle @Pontifex - meaning "bridge builder" in Latin, CNN reported.
"Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart," the pope tweeted.
He followed it up with two more tweets.
"How can we celebrate the Year of Faith better in our daily lives?", which was followed by the answer: "By speaking with Jesus in prayer, listening to what he tells you in the Gospel and looking for him in those in need."
An hour after his first tweet, the pope had around 700,000 followers on his English account.
He is also tweeting in other languages, including Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic.
A Vatican official told CNN the pope would compose the tweets himself.
Monsignor Paul Tighe, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, told Vatican Radio that the first tweet was "an extraordinary moment".
The first tweet had more than 2,000 retweets in under two minutes.
Anyone could send in a question to the pope's personal account via the hashtag #askpontifex or #B16.
Pope Benedict had last year launched the official Vatican news site on Twitter, @news_va_en, CNN said.
John Paul II, who preceded Benedict, was the first pontiff to use the internet. Pope Pius XI made the first papal radio broadcast in 1931. His successor, Pope Piux XII, made the first papal TV appearance in 1946.
