The first major move that Bryan Colangelo made in charge of the Toronto Raptors was universally praised. He moved Rafael Araujo — a highly drafted big man that struggled in Toronto and was emblematic of the previous failed regime — to Utah for Kris Humphries. Humphries never set the world ablaze, but he was a solid depth big man for the Raptors, and a massive upgrade over Araujo.
The first major move that Masai Ujiri made in charge of the Toronto Raptors has also been universally praised. He moved Andrea Bargnani — a highly drafted big man that struggled in Toronto and was emblematic of the previous failed regime — to New York for Steve Novak, Marcus Camby, a 2016 first-round pick, a second-round pick and likely Quentin Richardson. It was an addition-by-subtraction move, and getting increased flexibility and a pair of draft picks would seem to be a massive upgrade over Bargnani.
This is obviously heading for a "wait a second" moment, but Ujiri's work deserves the praise. At the trade deadline, Bargnani was virtually unmovable, unless the Raptors wanted to take back a bad contract for Bargnani and his two remaining years worth US$23-million. Araujo was not nearly the player that Bargnani was, but he was still on his rookie-scale deal. In terms of degree of difficulty, Ujiri's maneuver was higher than Colangelo's.
But, a lesson from the Colangelo era: Be stingy with the executive idolatry. In moving Bargnani, Ujiri did something that was a) inevitable; b) obvious; and c) necessary. The return was not poisonous, as was expected, and Ujiri should be praised for that.
All it has done, for now, is open up the possibility of having options down the road. The Raptors are still well over the salary cap this year, and could be next year, depending on whether or not Rudy Gay picks up his US$19-million player option. Ujiri certainly is not done making moves — buying a Raptors jersey with any name other than Jonas Valanciunas's on the back would seem to be an imprudent move right now.
Meanwhile, the Raptors' philosophical position remains undetermined. Although there were multiple suitors for Bargnani (yes, it is true), it is unclear what offers the Raptors turned down for the former first-overall pick. That makes it impossible to gauge what Ujiri's true intent is: whether he wants to build the Raptors into a playoff team or tear it down with an eye toward the top of the 2014 draft. That decision will say a lot more about the where the Raptors are heading than the Bargnani move.
Raptors fans should celebrate Bargnani's departure, if that is their will. His value has been cratering for years, something Colangelo either did not realize or did not care to act on. This is more than Toronto should have got at this point for Bargnani, and that will not change if produces in New York. Nothing good was going to happen for the Raptors with Bargnani here.
In the midst of the celebration, though, it should be remembered that tearing a franchise down is far easier than building it back up.

I read a scary article about TB that is resistant to anti-biotics and other drugs breaking out in London and UK right before olympics! I couldn't find the article online, but here is some other info on it showing up in Italy and India too.
I remember there being A LOT more than usual during the SARS and H1N1 outbreaks.....as well as hordes of people looking for iodine after the tsunami in Japan. When you see people that who aren't walking steotypes wearing masks, or it's recommended by public health, then I think it's time to jump on the bandwagon.
A friend of mine was hospitalized with TB a few years ago. Another friend of ours contracted it from the first guy by being in the same car as him.

I do not know where is it described in the docs ... I just found it
while playing with the drawing tools.
This is how to do it:
1. Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]
2. Double click the graphic, then click the sine curve to select it.
3. Choose Graphics -> Graphics Inspector from the menu.
4. Drag the slider for thickness (now it will be easier to see color,

Cut through all the positive spin around corporate downsizing and the journalism industry looks downright bleak these days. Just look at what happened locally early this week: The Missoulian and the Ravalli Republic, both owned by Lee Enterprises Inc., announced Tuesday they will merge newsrooms in the interests of being "better able to cover the wide breadth and depth of issues facing western Montanans." The release told readers to be on the lookout for enhanced news reports and online content from both papers, and added, "No one was laid off in either newsroom as part of the merger."
That last statement may be true, but it's misleading. Tim Akimoff, the Missoulian's web manager and dedicated beer blogger, says the paper fired him around 2 p.m. Monday. He was told his position was a "luxury" the Missoulian "could no longer afford."
Akimoff wasn't part of the newsroom, but over the past three years he's overseen staff training in new media at both papers, launched social networking profiles for the Missoulian on Twitter and Facebook, and monitored the implementation of the Missoula daily's new online content management system.
"Digitally, there wasn't much I didn't have my hands on," Akimoff says.
Shortly after finding himself "in the enviable position of being a stay at home dad" this week, Akimoff posted a farewell letter on his Facebook page. The letter turned up on the Poynter Institute's online forum Tuesday morning under the title "The next adventure," and stated that while Akimoff's fragile love for newspapers remained intact, he sees the writing on the wall.
"Unfortunately, newspapers are helmed by old, decrepit captains who cannot see past their bifocals way down their noses reading about yesterday with all the relevance of the Hindenberg blimp disaster," he wrote.
Calls to publisher Stacey Mueller, who was Akimoff's direct supervisor, went unreturned.
Akimoff says he knows of no other layoffs this week, but he's certainly not the only name to disappear from local mastheads. The Missoulian laid-off part-time video reporter David Brown earlier this summer. Two other newsroom staff members also announced in August they were leaving the paper.
Akimoff's not sure what he'll do next. He might sit back and watch how online media evolves before seeking other positions. If his bosses at the Missoulian stick to their word, he'll even retain rights to his popular beer blog, the Grizzly Growler.
"It's my blood, sweat and tears, so I think it's pretty magnanimous of them to let me keep it," he says.
In the age of new media, it seems only fitting that a tech-savvy employee's severance package comes complete with a blog.

Users reported problems ranging from failing alarm clocks to iPhones tweaking time settings when they weren't supposed to. Tracking down the root cause of the issue is proving a bit tricky for now, but some are suggesting that this may have something to do with the iOS software not getting along well with the time information, which is provided wirelessly by the carrier. Giving the phone a reboot or adjusting its clock manually seem to be the first logical solutions that come to mind and have even proven to work for some.
This actually isn't the first time Apple's iPhone is having difficulties with its clock. Back in November of 2010, when clocks were being turned an hour back, similar glitches plagued many iPhones throughout the country. On January 1 of 2011, once again the iPhone was cursed by frustrated owners for causing them to sleep in after failing to set off its alarm clock.
Has your iPhone caused you any trouble over the weekend? Feel free to share your pain by dropping a comment below.

The amino acid R has how many ionizable protons?
The amino acid arginine (R) has how many ionizable protons?
Looks like one(1) COOH group to me so one proton that ionizes.
I think it would be three, depending on the environment. Basic environments would cause the CO2H group to become ionized because it would be deprotonated and would thus become negatively charged. Conversely, the amine group and the amino acid's R group would become ionized in an acidic environment by accepting protons to become positively charged.
Devron, you may be right; however, the way I interpret the problem is "ionizable proton" to me means the deprotonation of the COOH group. "Ionizable" to me does not mean the acceptance of a proton. Since this is a new term to me I googled "ionizable proton" and "ionizable proton for bases" and I received ONLY discussions that agreed with my thoughts. If you find different please let me know and please give me a source (link). As previously stated, this is a new term to me; therefore, I'm interested in learning all I can about it
The answer is three. Each of the twenty amino acids has a carboxyl terminus (CO2H), an amino-terminus (NH2), and a R-group. At least two of these groups of an amino acid will always be ionizable groups, and the R-group may or may not be depending on the amino acid. I am pretty sure that you would agree that the CO2H group is acidic because of its ability to donate protons. However, most people forget to look at the other two groups of an amino acid. The 20 amino acids can be broken down into four groups; non-polar amino acids, polar amino acids, acidic amino acids, and basic amino acids.The carboxyl-terminus of an amino acid has a pka value because it has the ability to donate its proton, and the amino-terminus also has the ability to donate a proton if it is ionized.Therefore, in biochemistry, the amino-terminus is assigned a pka value because it also can not donate a proton making the number of ionizable groups at least two.The specific amino acid in question in this post is a basic amino acid, and its R-group can also become ionized, so it s R-group is also assigned a pka value. This is why the answer is three and not two or one. But why isn't it four with this logic since their are two amines in Arginine's R-group? I am not sure, but I believe it has to do with resonance and the different structures that it can undergo because of resonance.You wouldn't have been able to see three ionizable groups looking at the image that you provided because the picture doesn't show you the structure of the amino acid in a very acidic environment, neutral environment (native), or basic environment. If you google isolelectric points, pka values, and/or titrations for amino acids, this will all make sense.

Why, oh why am I responding?...so many inaccurate, out of proportion, misguided inferences in the previous posts...suffice it to say that, unequivocally, what's transpired recently is for the better
...believe what you will...
What can I say about the crazy contradictions of Thailand?
...I'm horrified to see anyone supporting such a brazen assault on democracy.
You mean a coup is for the better of Thailand and the Thai population?
appicchato wrote:You mean a coup is for the better of Thailand and the Thai population?
Potentially, yes...
Horrified is to see anyone describing Thailand (now, or ever) as a democracy...
then act to place right minded nonmilitary leaders in charge to set temporary national policy, calm the Thai business and capital markets, and establish a path toward constitutional elections.
Dan Rooney wrote:Horrified is to see anyone describing Thailand (now, or ever) as a democracy...
An unbelievably asinine comment. Just incredibly stupid. Democracy is not a binary condition - countries exist as democracies to greater or lesser degrees. Some countries are far enough along the continuum (North Korea for example) that they can safely be labelled as non-democracies. It should be absolutely clear to anyone in possession of a functioning brain that this is (or at least was until a few days ago) not the case for Thailand. Was, prior to the imposition of military rule, Thailand as democratic a state as the Scandinavian countries? Obviously not. Does this mean that Thailand was not a democracy? Obviously not. Does the action of the judiciary in usurping power the power of an elected government (elected in a process which is recognized as having met international standards) increase the strength of the democratic process? Obviously not. Does the seizure of power by the military, the suspension of most of the constitution (all those parts which relate to democracy and human rights but not those which relate to the entrenched power of the elite in state institutions) and the cancelling of elections increase the strength of the democratic process? Obviously not.
Dan Rooney wrote:^ Some areas are:
In 2011, there were free and fair elections. There was a high voter turnout and seats (and party lists) were contested by wide range of candidates. Evidence of vote-buying was low (I think 5 red cards were handed out) and the election was accepted as valid by essentially everyone. The electoral system, mixing FPP and party lists, does a reasonable job of producing governments which reflect national voting patterns.
There was (until recently) a (semi-) viable opposition.
There is a vibrant civil society, highly involved in political life (for example, The Assembly for the Defence of Democracy has just shy of a million supporters. Note the name: defence, not establishment).
There was (until very recently) an active and engaged media, representing a broad range of political opinions.
There is separation of powers, with judicial review of the government.
There are, of course, also major failures with the system of governance in Thailand including, but not limited to:
Unelected bodies are able to wield power way beyond anything which could reasonably be justified - the judiciary in particular, but also the 'independent agencies' and the unelected portion of the senate, sit above the electoral process and are able to decide on matters far from their remit, overruling the democratic process, either in terms of policy (the high-speed train, for example) or elections themselves (the last 3 elected PMs).
The feudal system lives on in the extraordinarily large numbers of political families in parliament/government.
The civil service is deeply politicized and closely aligned with the Democrats/PDRC.
The main opposition party no longer believes in democracy and neither do large swathes of the middle classes.
Even at the best of times, civilian control of the military is non-existent.
Freedom of speech is non-existent in certain areas (112, most obviously).
State transparency and accountability is low to non-existent.
But none of these failures are going to be rectified by a military dictatorship, most of them having in fact been made worse as a direct consequence of the last spell of military rule and given the way that this coup is shaping up, it's now reasonable to expect the situation to deteriorate further, probably dramatically.

#1: Curls.biz product review and pics
Okay so I used the samples from the curls.biz website this morning when I washed my hair. I used the cleansing cream, coconut sublime, and curly milkshake. I must say I am pleased with the products. My hair is moisturized my curl defined. I still feel like I have a frizz problem with my natural curls but I will leave that for you all to decide. Also I barely had any shedding or breakage like maybe a sliver of strands escaped down the drains. However, I am not going to give Curls products full credit for that just yet. I finger combed my hair for the first time today and co-wash every three days. My shedding had decreased when I had passed three month mark of not getting a relaxer. Also guys, this stuff smells soooooo good. I mean my dog was trying to lick my hair. I will let you know how the quench moisturizer works once my twists dry, which of course will be tomorrow. Also what do you guys think of my hairtype/texture? 4A/4B or something else? I give up trying to figure out!!!

Razer Naga: Hands-on test of the MMO Mouse - Update: New pictures
At the Gamescom 2009 Razer has introduced the Naga. PC Games Hardware did a hands-on test: Can the button monster be operated easily?
As soon as the Razer Naga was announced, people asked themselves how a mouse with twelve thumb keys is operated. Accordingly the feedback on the announcements had been rather reserved. But PC Games Hardware can already offer more than an announcement of the mouse: Our input specialist Frank Stöwer got his hands on the Naga and explains his first impressions.
Razer Naga: Hands-on test
Due to its ergonomic design the Naga fits well into the hand and even gamers with big hands and long fingers can use it without symptoms of fatigue. The rest for the ring finger is advantageous and offers additional grip. The two main buttons have a direct pressure point and are of easy motion. The twelve thumb buttons are reacting immediately, too, but aren't triggered as easily. The pressure point of the two additional buttons on the left side of the primary button is weak though.
The arrangement of the keys is good and all of them are easily reached. But here one of the Naga's weaknesses becomes obvious: If you don't want to use the thumb keys you might trigger them anyway because they can't be deactivated. A dpi switch for changing the sensitivity is not available. The mouse wheel on the other hand doesn't reveal any negative attributes. Furthermore the reaction of the 5600 dpi sensor leaves nothing to be desired. Assigning the thumb keys with commands for World of Warcraft isn't complex - Razer published a video that shows how the add-on for WoW is programmed.
Razer Naga: First conclusion
The Naga is a useful input device for players of online RPGs and a valid alternative to programming macro keyboards. For office usage it is less ideal though. Action and Shooter gamers will have to get used to the huge number of buttons at a position that usually is used to get a better grip on the mouse.
A final conclusion of course isn't possible until the final Razer Naga and its software have been fully tested.

Granny Rose's Hot Rolls
These hot rolls are the perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving dinner. Try using rosemary leaves to create a monogram.
- Yield: Makes 2 dozen
Photography: Anna Williams
Source: Martha Stewart Living, November 2007
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for bowl and baking sheets
- 1 envelope active dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon)
- 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
- 5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- Rosemary leaves (optional), for garnish
Bring milk, sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons butter to a simmer in a large saucepan, stirring until sugar and salt have dissolved and butter has melted. Remove from heat, and let cool to 110 degrees.
Meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir into milk mixture. Add 5 cups flour, and stir until a stiff dough forms (if dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time).
Turn out dough on a lightly floured work surface, and knead until smooth. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Divide dough into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Space 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets, and cover each with a towel. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and lightly brush on top of rolls. Decorate with rosemary if desired. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

I recently bought a 2011 WRX Limited Sedan. It had a few electrical issues when I got it which I have since been able to resolve. However in doing so I discovered this connector which is obviously broken and I cannot figure out from the service manual what it is. I disconnected it all together and have no CEL and everything seams to be functioning as it should. I discoved the connetor under the driver's side headlight and it ties into the from main wire harness. Any info on this connector would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.

Kaspersky's Analysis Finds Malicious Code within Twitter Links
Security investigators at Kaspersky Labs, after deploying an application for analyzing URLs that move within tweets, have found that a large number of web-addresses, at the rate of one in 500, that are posted on Twitter take users onto malware hosting sites.
Reportedly, malware spreads with the help of shortened URLs, popularly used on Twitter that conceal the actual web-address users intend to click, with the result that links are not filtered even if they are bogus.
States Kaspersky that it has devised an application named Krab Krawler that pulls out URLs from several million tweets daily. This application enlarges condensed URLs so that words within them can be assessed for that matching popular malware websites. However, for new websites, Kaspersky visits webpage and finds out whether they are hosting malicious software which could infect visitors.
In the meantime, approximately 26% of tweets carry at least one URL, said Kaspersky's Chief Security Expert Costin Raiu. WIRED reported this on October 29, 2009.
Raiu further said that nearly half of the URL-embedded tweets seem to be generated by spammers or people intending to do malicious activities. He added that these URLs spread faster through re-tweets.
Apart from this, several thousands of accounts, possibly those created through bots, are posting malicious links, with the most common links connecting to dating websites, stated Kaspersky.
Although Twitter has an internal system for filtering malicious links, still some of them manage to pass unnoticed, the company said.
Likewise Kaspersky said that however its own anti-virus software could intercept and stop 95% of all malicious codes that threaten Twitter users, but these codes often change form to dodge filters, and nearly 2-12 hours could get spent in detecting and classifying new stuff as malware.
Thus, while AV firms have conventionally concentrated on defending users against virus-laced e-mails, they are now focusing more and more on social-media websites that are being increasingly targeted by the attackers.
Moreover, attackers popularly target social-media websites not just for the reason that they receive huge user traffic, but also for the reason that users normally rely more on messages from friends on these websites than they rely on ordinary e-mails, investigators stated.

The hunt for poachers in the Timor Sea is a daily drama for customs officers. Stathi Paxinos joins them on patrol.
Col McMaster looks out from the customs patrol boat Storm Bay and knows this is not going to be a good day. The Timor Sea, usually achingly blue and mirror-like at this time of year, has turned grim and grey, its surface whipped into a million whitecapped waves by gusting 18-knot winds.
Any other day this wouldn't trouble the navy veteran and his eight hardened crew members, nor his high-tech 38-metre aluminium vessel. But he has just received an alert from a coastal surveillance plane. Somewhere out in the vast chopped-up gloom are two targets.
The first is an Indonesian boat thought to be illegally fishing in Australian waters. The second is probably another poacher but at this stage it is no more than a blip on a radar screen. And in these difficult conditions, it will probably stay that way.
The former navy patrol boat captain
is not optimistic about locating the
small wooden vessels, known as
perahus. It is, he says concisely, a
"speed, time and distance problem".
McMaster relays the co-ordinates of an intercept course to his helmsman, who plugs the information into the navigation computer and the Storm Bay is turned into the swell. It is the beginning of a day-long chase covering several hundred kilometres.
Storm Bay's patrol is part of an air and sea surveillance program that protects Australia's northern fishery stocks against an alarmingly increasing number of Indonesian boats illegally fishing in Australian waters.
The Indonesian fishermen seek delicacies, such as shark fin, trepang (sea cucumber) and trochus (a large, conical-shaped, marine snail), that fetch high prices in the Asian market. There have been more than 80 perahus detained already this year, including 33 in a two-week period in May. And with the peak months still to come, the number is likely to exceed the 1994 record of 134 boats.
The problem for Australian authorities is how to deter these traditional fishermen, or fishers as they are known, from coming into waters where traditionally they have always fished.
As part of the Federal Government's response, the Customs National Marine Unit (NMU), the navy and Coastwatch aircraft patrol the northern waters. The hotspot for illegal fishing is a 1600-kilometre stretch from the Torres Strait to Ashmore Reef, 800 kilometres north-west of Darwin.
The NMU has a number of responsibilities including the protection of fisheries and the environment, participating in anti-drug and tax avoidance operations and assisting with seizing refugee boats. But at this time of year, with the seasonally calm seas, a lot of its time is taken by inspecting and, if an offence has occurred, detaining Indonesian fishing boats. The officers, who say they have never felt threatened during boardings, are nonetheless armed with Glock nine-millimetre hand guns and the Ashmore Reef patrol boats, while not carrying mounted weapons, also have a supply of shot guns and M-16s.
Keith Johnson, the superintendent of the NMU, says policing the fisheries has significantly improved since customs introduced its fleet of light-weight and fuel-efficient patrol boats in 1999-2000. Johnson says the NMU now has the "teeth to go out and enforce" fisheries legislation. "We are a new kid on the block to some extent but what we are able to do now is pretty well the same sort of operations when it comes to fishery management and enforcement that the navy has always done in the past."
However, the fisheries that separate Australia from Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are already showing signs of stress. Mike Yates, a senior compliance officer with the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA), says the fragile marine ecosystem, especially among the shark populations, has been damaged by unsustainable and illegal fishing practices.
"Australia has a responsibility," Yates says. "If we allow unfettered access to the Australian fishing zone... your kids are not going to have any fish in the future."
Fisheries officer Mick Munn, who has conducted more than 1000 boardings of Indonesian boats, says fishers say that it is becoming more difficult to make viable catches. Mr Munn says fishers are now mainly targeting sharks, particularly the large-finned shovel-noses and hammerheads, because the trochus population has been nearly wiped out, particularly around Scott Reef.
"It's all driven by money and the Asian market is screaming out for shark fin and trepang," Munn says. "I don't mind them being fishermen but they cannot come down here and rape our resources."
The culprits are poor, illiterate villagers who know only one way to survive and that is to fish. Seafarers such as the Bajau, the sea gypsies from near Sulawesi and the men from Rote, an island only 150 kilometres north of Ashmore, travel hundreds of kilometres in sail-powered perahus, known as Type 2 vessels, equipped only with homemade magnetic compasses and knowledge handed down through the generations.
These fishers are burdened by debt to the handful of families that own the boats. They are barely able to eke a subsistence lifestyle. They are allowed to travel to and fish by traditional methods in a 50,000 square kilometre reserve on the north-west continental shelf, with boundaries set by a memorandum of understanding between the Australian and Indonesian governments. The waters include Ashmore, Scott and Seringapatam reefs and Cart
Australia's fishing zone is also being invaded by fishers who use motorised perahus, known as Type 3s. These boats, which are equipped with GPS signals and navigation charts, usually use the Irian Jayan port of Merauke and the port of Dobo in the Aru islands as launching pads into the Torres Strait. The motorised vessels, which concentrate on shark fishing, are more commercial operations.
With poorer catches becoming more frequent, the traditional fishers are also being forced to make more trips and increasingly fish outside the boundaries, taking the gamble — like the motorised perahus — that they will be able to avoid the air and sea surveillance.

However, for many their journey ends in detention holding areas off Darwin and Gove in the Northern Territory, Broome in Western Australia and Thursday Island in Queensland.
A group of rainbow-coloured vessels is held a short distance offshore from Darwin's popular Stokes Hill wharf. The fishers are kept on board, waiting in cramped and stifling condi-tions for the day they will be told to return to their homes.
They remain under 24-hour surveillance and are rarely allowed ashore. They complain they do not receive enough food. Indeed, earlier this year, a 21-year-old Indonesian fisherman died on one of the boats after complaining of intense hunger and suffering a seizure.
Anwar Lamaya, former president of the Islamic Society of Northern Territory, says the conditions are inhumane. Zacharias Manongga, Indonesian consul in Darwin, says he has been arguing with the AFMA to place the detainees in houses so that they can at least walk about or even play a game of soccer.
However, the Federal Government is unmoved. Fisheries Minister Ian Macdonald says the fishers are sea people who prefer to stay on the boats rather than be jailed, and Australia's interests must be protected.
"If we weren't doing it, I could guarantee there would be a lot more coming down and a lot more reoffenders," Macdonald says. "A lot of these operations are overtly commercial. People do get big money by their standards to break the law knowingly."
Since 1997, 3311 fishers have been arrested by Australian authorities. The masters of the detained boats, who are rarely the owners, are prosecuted and reoffenders can spend several months in jail.
The crews wait on the boats until court proceedings are completed and then they are either deported to Indonesia or allowed to sail back after they pay a bond to have their boat released from custody. If the money, usually $3000 to $5000, is not paid, the vessel is burnt.
It is a policy that is criticised by academics and advocates who have studied the issue. They say the Federal Government, by destroying the fishers' only means of survival, is putting them further into debt to the handful of families that owns the boats and controls the fishing industry.
These powerbrokers can easily replace the destroyed vessels and pass the costs on to the masters and crew members, who have no choice but to re-enter Australian waters and most likely reoffend to repay the debts.
Even the authorities acknowledge these men will be back within a few months. Deterrence is not easily achieved when necessity and tradition combine.
"Time to start looking for the green clouds," Keith Purvis says as points to the distant horizon. "That's how the Indons know where it is." Purvis, the engineer of the customs patrol vessel Corio Bay, explains his ability to pinpoint Ashmore Reef when the boat is still almost three hours away from the national nature reserve. It is a trick he learnt from the Indonesian fishers, or "Indons" as they are called in patrol lingo. The clouds above Ashmore, 840 kilometres west of Darwin, turn a light green as they reflect the shallow waters. This can be seen for kilometres.
Tom Therik, an academic from Rote, says there are tales of a Rotenese king who encountered Nusak Solok Kae, (sandy beach) — the Rotenese expression for Ashmore — a couple of hundred years ago. He says records kept by Indonesia's Dutch colonists show Rote's continuous ties to the area, which is also known as Pulau Pasir.
"From my childhood I have been told by my parents that Ashmore is actually part of Rote," says Therik.
Professor James Fox, director of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the Australian National University, says that records show voyages — albeit chance ones, particularly by the Bajau — dating back to the eighteenth century. The sail-powered perahus at Ashmore are therefore one of the last traditional fishing fleets in the world. The fishers use their knowledge of currents, the stars and the colour of the sky to navigate. Their skill is based on tricks that have been passed down by generations of sea-farers.
Ashmore Reef's western island is the only one which people are allowed to set foot on and is where many refugees landed at the height of the Federal Government's border protection push several years ago. Now, fishers use the fresh water bore and visit the burial grounds of the fishers who have not made it home.
But for the men on the perahu anchored just off shore, Ashmore is the last stop before returning home. On board the wooden structure that is no more than seven metres long and two metres wide, there is a crew of eight people, including two teenagers who look about 14 years old.
These are seafarers from way back. They wear ragged shirts and traditional sarongs or pants. The master, disregarding the 30 degree-plus temperatures, wears a multi-coloured beanie and heavy turtleneck jumper.
Shaking his head, he says there are no sharks around and shows the customs officers a pitiful catch of a few small shark fin.
The customs officers speak with admiration about the endurance and skill of the fishers, who risk their lives in vessels which resemble three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles of dozens of short planks of timber held together by wooden pegs.
These fishers, according to former legal aid lawyer Tim Prichard, are not pirates but are usually "up to their eyeballs" in debt that can be passed on to future generations and "effectively puts them into slavery until the debt is paid of. It's a savage system".
Prichard saved the boats of three Bajau masters 10 years ago by being the first to successfully argue that detained perahus should not be burnt because they were the men's only means of livelihood, without which they would have no hope of paying off their debts.
And even the authorities have some sympathy. Johnson, superintendent of the NMU, says fishers now regard being caught simply as an occupational hazard. "They fish or their families go hungry, so to a large extent they don't have much of a choice," says Johnson. "That's why you do see a lot of them coming back."
AFMA's Yates says while many fishers come from the same villages, the fishing was rather ad hoc, unlike piracy in Australia's sub-Antarctic fishing zones, which is largely controlled by an Asian syndicate. The solution, according to Fox and Therik, who have extensively studied this issue, is education. They are trying to establish a "beach school" in Rote, where villagers can learn basic literacy and numeracy skills. They say the Australian and Indonesian governments must also fund programs to provide alternative livelihoods, such as the seaweed growing program that is being trialled in Rote.
McMaster, back on the Storm Bay, is however philosophical about failing to catch the wrong-doers. "It's one of those times you count your losses," he says. There will be plenty more opportunities to catch offenders in the coming months.

5 yr old urinating in the house (dark and smelly?)
I also have a 5 yr old(I know thats not old) but he will NOT stop peeing inside. We just got him. He was outside and is now inside. He urine is dark and smells HORRIBLE! IDK what to do.... help :(
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Second - TAKE HIM TO A VET!!! "urine is dark and smells HORRIBLE" screams infection.
Poor guy :(
Everything about that sounds like a urinary tract infection, so I think he needs a vet visit ASAP! But, when you say he was outside (for like the last five years before your got him?) and is now inside, he may also not be housetrained. Repost if you need some help with that, it takes some concentrated time and effort, but GSD's are SUPER easy to housetrain, so that is fixable. But vet check first, since it's impossible to housetrain a dog with a UTI. Good luck!
Dog Urine Color Why Clear Yellow Brown Orange Red
This is not a vet page so not from a medical source, but you can see - go to the vet immediately is the idea.
Males usually tend to get more issues with crystals and blockages so you never know what's going on.
I would have the urine checked, and a heartworm/tick test done unless he's had that recently done. I'd probably do a fecal while I was there, too.

Fourth Annual Alumni and Friends Lobster Bake
The event, held on September 10, 2016 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. under a tent behind Bowne Hall, was an opportunity for Foundation supporters to have dinner and mingle with alumni, students, faculty, staff, Foundation board members and College trustees. It is a way to thank those who have supported the Foundation throughout the years and raise awareness about the organization among a new audience. Diana Pollard, Foundation executive director, talked about the many ways in which the Foundation has provided support to Dutchess Community College.
The guests were treated to the sounds of three DCC students in the Jazz Band Trio, Alexander Boffoli, Joseph Nieves-Luecke, and John Donohoe. Daisy Bopela, a 2004 DCC graduate and guest of Foundation board member and professor Jacqueline Goffe-McNish, recently relocated back to Dutchess County after 12 years. She said, "It was so wonderful to see my alma mater..so many great memories." She said it was wonderful to be back on campus and that attending DCC was the best decision she ever made.

Most phones automatically turn off the wireless when they go to low power mode. Even though the device reacquires an IP address and the XBMC server connection is soon reestablished, I think it is a bad user experience to have a popup containing only options to go to the Settings or Close dialogs.
Sometimes the reacquiring of the connection takes just a little more than the timeout. So right as the timeout is reached, the network becomes available. You can increase the timeout, but the problem still exists: The first connection attempt might not go through because the network is not ready, causing a timeout.
I perhaps think a more friendly dialog box should have a spinner, indicating a countdown to reconnect or it just continuously doing it in the background. Below that, I was thinking of perhaps a 'Host Settings' button that goes to that host serve configuration -specifically- and a 'Abort' button ('abort' the connection attempt not 'close' a dialog).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I am a cat person.
Even if I hadn't become a librarian (cat-appreciation being an occupational hazard), I would still have always been a cat person. True, a lot of that has to do with cats being the pets that we had growing up. Well, cats and the goldfish, but we don't talk about the fish, as they met an unfortunate end when our family moved house in 1979 on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year. By the time they got to the new house, they were rather more buoyant than they had been when they started their "house move of death".
In any event, the appeal of cats for me has always been their independence. I have respect for that. But for the past year and a half I've been living with a dog person. I'm tempted to say that he has an affinity for the canine set because he's smelly, drooly and loves meat but that would probably be unwise so I definitely won't say that.
In the past I've not only been a cat person, but I've been a cat person who is a bit scared of dogs. Apparently as a child I had an unfortunate experience with one of the neighbourhood dogs that baled me up against a house with its barking and snarling and general bad attitude and consequently it took many years for me to feel relaxed in one's presence.
But as I said, I now live with a "canine advocate" and over the past year and a half he's been trying to convert me from the righteous feline path. And it's kind of working.
His main method of enticement has been his mother's dog, a Lassie lookalike who's about as aggressive as rice pudding and has a fondness for fetching tennis balls and coating them in a disgusting slick of drool. Over time, I have become completely okay with not only touching said items but with throwing them about in parks and gardens, over and over and over again.
The Silver Fox's family dog is also an extremely good-looking animal and I have to admit that when we sometimes take her for walks (these walks being for the purpose of exercise, not dog brainwashing - heavens no!) the fact that at some point someone will stop us and compliment the attractiveness of the dog does please me. She's not even my dog. And even if she were, her resemblance to Lassie would have nothing to do with me. But it doesn't matter. I still like it.
But we really turned a corner this week when I discovered Puppy cam, to which I am now addicted. Puppy cam is exactly what you would expect. It's a live feed of some puppies. But not just ordinary pups. There are six golden retriever bundles of fluff - five girls and a boy - and they live in Maryland, USA. They are "service puppies" who will eventually become companions to disabled war veterans; until then they will be socialised by being petted by returned servicemen with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. So they're not just heartwarming because they're cute. They're heartwarming because they're cute with a purpose. Awwwwhhhh.
I find that puppy cam helps me feel better when I am stressed, sort of like a livestreaming Prozac. There is no ailment that Puppy cam can't treat. It's like the massage pillow* of webcams. Cures sciatica! aches and pains! Stress! Bunions!
To be honest, I think I'll always be a cat person by nature but I'm just not so scared of dogs as I used to be and that's definitely a good thing. I still think they smell but I have come to appreciate how goshdarn cute they can be.
Have you ever made the switch from cat to dog person or vice versa?

Oh. My. God.
Puppy cam.
I am a convert. I never thought I would be. Dogs are smelly, and drooly (much like children, in my opinion). I got given a kitten as a surprise several years ago, which is named "Cat". About 2 years ago, after a series of robberies, and the neighbour's cat taking a leak in my house, nagging from husband about dogs being awesome, I caved and we got a dog. And she is beautiful and I love her. Other people's dogs are still smelly and drooly. But mine is perfect.
Puppy cam!! How am I possibly going to get any work done today??
(Also a cat person)
I am a total cat person, always have been and always will be. I love their indepdent streak but also when they do choose to give you affection it's like a special treat as dogs seem to just want your attention all the time.
I am partial to a cute dog or puppy, I do like the idea of daily walkies but can't stand the drool or the smell of dog.
I was always a cat person till we got our dog. He looks like a black and white version of Silver Fox's family dog.
He is very popular too and loves to be told what a good looking boy he is. I haven't made the switch as such I am now a cat/dog person.
Not sure puppy cam was very zen for me - I switched over when they looked like they were all dead and I had to watch for ages to assure myself there were signs of breathing...
I am sitting in a computer lab at university struggling with a law essay due tomorrow lunchtime - but I have been led astray by puppy cam!! They are so cute when they are sleeping ( a bit like my children) I too am a cat person, we have 4 at the moment
I like both...but was only recently able to get a dog because before a few months ago we were flatting, its too hard to own a dog when flatting.
Now we have a 3 month old lab/staffy x puppy who is adorably cute...which helps offset that fact that it chews everything in sight and runs off with my shoes. I am starting to suspect the puppy is in fact part land-piranha.
Our two cats are not as fond of the puppy as we are, especially when it chases them around the house (in a puppy playful manner, not a I wanna eat you manner)...although they can hold their own when they get annoyed enough and then its the puppy who ends up being chased.
The puppies are sleeping at the mo. So I took my mouse and tried to poke them awake. For future reference, that doesn't work.
But now I am left wondering if I spend too much time at the computer?!
I Love Cats and Dogs! Like you, I like Cats because of their independence and (maybe just my cats growing up) the way they dictate when it's appropriate to have snuggles!! Love that they can be annoyed, snuggly, playful and completely uninterested.. But I love dogs because they just always seem to be there for me.. I grew up with dogs and cats and nothing beats the eternal love of a dog - that's why they call em mans best friend..

We disagree with the European court of human rights ruling that the dismissal of BNP councillor Arthur Redfearn was a breach of his human rights (Bus driver sacked for being in BNP wins case, 7 November). Redfearn was employed by Serco, a Bradford council contractor, and his job involved driving Asian adults and children with disabilities. The BNP is known to be a fascist and racist organisation, with leading members calling for an all-white Britain. BNP leader Nick Griffin has a conviction for inciting racial hatred after describing the Holocaust as a hoax.
Therefore members of such an organisation do present a threat to Asian and disabled people, and others targeted by fascism. Redfearn specifically presented a threat to Asian and disabled passengers. British local councils, paid for by the tax payer, have to adhere to race relations legislation. This should not be undermined by the ECHR. Membership of the BNP should be viewed in the same way as membership of the Nazi party.
Weyman Bennett and Sabby Dhalu
Joint secretaries, Unite Against Fascism
• Your report leaves perhaps the most important finding of the European court of human rights to the final two sentences – that the court criticised the fact that the bus driver could not pursue a claim of unfair dismissal because he had not worked for the employer for long enough.
Setting aside the issue of BNP membership and/or activity, this case highlights the appalling lack of basic, fundamental rights workers in the UK have. In this case the employee would have had to wait 12 months before having the right to claim unfair dismissal. Thanks to this vicious government it is now 24 months.
Why should I enter amicably into a contract with an employer and not be able to seek redress if that employer unfairly or wrongly breaks that contact? Unfair dismissal is exactly that – it is unfair and should be remedied and punished from day one, never mind even 12 months.

Delays mar PNG general election
Police have fired warning shots to subdue restless voters as major delays in setting up polling booths in Papua New Guinea hampered the start of the country's general election.
On the morning voting was due to start, authorities in Tari were still organising the dispersal of ballot boxes and papers.
Police in Tari fired several shots into the air to keep voters under control as tensions boiled over.
Some polling officials did not even have transport to get to booths outside town.
In the nearby Tebi village, ballot papers and boxes could not be dropped off because the police who were supposed to be providing security had not arrived.
In the end, the locals decided to start the polling without them.
Voting will be extended until to tomorrow in both provinces because of the setbacks.
The voting in the Southern Highlands and Hela provinces was supposed to be completed in one day but police commissioner Tom Kulunga says he will be asking the electoral commission to extend the deadline.
Australian army personnel have been stationed in Papua New Guinea to help out with the election by flying voters from remote areas to polling booths.
Australia's parliamentary secretary for Pacific Island affairs Richard Marles says the Australian Government is providing as much support as it can.
"At its peak there'd be something like 250 military personnel from Australia and New Zealand who'll be providing support, mainly in air logistics, to get people around PNG and election material around PNG. Something like 1,700 people have been transported to date," he said.
It is hoped the general election will put an end to the political turbulence PNG has seen over the past year, during which two men claimed to be the country's rightful prime minister.

Well IMO it's a bit more complicated than that. haha. The muffler delete isn't horrible on the highway, it's just louder than stock.. I recently drove a 300mi freeway trip and if you have 0 music it is loud and kind of annoying... A constant fairly fast paced rumble.. (nowhere near as bad as that weird vibrating drone at 1500rpm on the stock exhaust) Any sort of music will drown it out but you have to have more music than stock... for me on the stock stereo system, I listen to the radio on 12(street) 14(freeway)... after the muffler delete, it is 12(street) 18(freeway).. I dont like my music super loud, but enough to really listen to it.. and I listen to all types of music. The other thing is what I have gathered from asking others on this forum and from other forums, and I will be getting an aftermarket Midpipe soon, and it will make the system a tad bit louder still.. so for me, I wouldn't recommend it, but in reality.. To each their own.. haha
Ah I understand. Well I like loud music and a loud exhaust! It'd be perfect! lol
yeah loud exhausts all the way!!

Village Child Care
El Cerrito, CA
To view the State's license info—inspections, citations, and complaints—click the License number below. Also see About Childcare & Preschool Reviews.
- (July 2014) No facility license was found for this daycare at CCLD, so we have assumed it is either unlicensed or no longer in operation.
Parent Reviews
Parents, have you used this organization's services? Sign in to post a review.
I would like to recommend Julie Overman's Village Child Care just off of Central in El Cerrito. My toddler Ariel has thrived under Julie's care for three months now.
What Julie provides goes well beyond day care and is really a Reggio Emilia program: TONS of play activities offered (puppets, music, different arts, nature exploration, math manipulatives, etc.)
Julie is highly educated. If you are at all concerned (as I am) about intellectual, language and emotional development-- you should consider this place.
Unlike many day care providers, they are fluent in English to the nth degree-Ariel is learning the sounds and syntax of English and she will be ready for school when she leaves.
Julie is also an incredibly warm, intelligent, nurturing Mother Goose-Earth Mother type.
You just can't get this quality of educated child care for the price. Her number is 510-527-1804. Martina
Sept 2004
Our child care provider, Julie who runs ''Village Child
Care'' in El Cerrito has been great! She has been running a
child care program in MD for many years and just opened
here this fall. We feel very pleased with her philosophy:
she cares for the children by following the child's lead
with lots of creativity and gentle guidance. The
atmosphere Julie creates is peaceful and caring. The cost
is reasonable and she provides healthy lunches and
snacks. It's been nice to get into a great program
without the year waiting list. The kids have a great
outdoor area to slide, run, ride cars, water table... They
also have an indoor room with lots of fun play things that
inspire learning. We live in Berkeley and the 10 mn. drive
is totally worth it! Julie has a 2 day slot available for
the infant/toddler age (we use 3 days a week).

Still, I wouldn't mind seeing this design in the future.
El Oh El. I also thought, "Ninja Panda."
Maybe if the mom was larger, and had on a nice rope of pearls...or a pill box hat or something, and the babies looked more like babies. I think the depth makes it look like they would all be the same size, if they were standing together. I really like the premise, though, and the bamboo green in contrast against the dark. I would be concerned about the dark brown/black issue again, too.
This also looks pretty good on asphalt - thoughts?

Wow, all I intended was a joke along the lines of "your mom goes to college", not some crass implication. I'm morally opposed to crude humor and should have run this by more people first.

Combat flight simulators have littered us in recent years, but
the scenario wasn't much different during the last years of the 80s and
beginning of the 90s. Productions like LHX: Attack Chopper (which Brent Iverson
developed who also developed Yeager), SU-25 and F-29 Retaliator stormed the
market. Most of them had 256 colors VGA graphics, just like Chuck Yeager's
Air Combat.
But Yeager's Air Combat really stood out from the crowd.
Sure it was sponsored by a celebrity, but the fact that Iverson actually used
Yeager as an advisor made all the difference. The planes are even with today's
standards behaving very realistic.
The core of the game is dog fighting and they are unbelievable
realistic, fun, addictive and sometimes hard. There are three campaigns that
you can participate in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Each campaign comes
with a number of different planes such as the P-51 Mustang, the Sabre and the
Sure the modeling of the planes leaves much to be desired. However
it's not as bad as in many other games from this time. There are some
details, such as different colors and also markings.
The missions in the campaigns are mostly about dog fighting,
however the timeline of the campaigns doesn't work as in present flight
simulators. You can select a number of missions on each campaign without having
to complete a mission to gain new. So you can start with the absolute hardest
mission if that's what you want.
As all missions are against the computer AI it can sometimes
feel a bit predictable. If you play the game for a couple of games you almost
know what the computer will do before it acts, at least if you choose the easier
difficulty levels. On the other hand when playing on the hard level you really
have to think and take it easy.
When things start to go down the drain Yeager himself will pop
up and tell you what to do. It's a nice feature and adds some personality
to the game, even though his tips are pretty meaningless.
Chuck is also integrated in the menu system of the game where
he tells you what to do. Before and after each mission he presents numbers and
statistics and closes with a famous quote, for example "It's the
man not the machine" (actually a pretty good quote).
This game would have been better if there was a built in multiplayer
mode. However it's not vital for the game itself. A more important part
that could have been improved is the campaign missions. Sometimes it would have
been nice if there were some unexpected events during the campaigns to add some
A very nice feature is that you can create missions of your
own. You simply go through a wizard selecting the plan you want, the opposition,
the setting and so on. It's a nice uncomplicated way of getting some action
Chuck Yeager's Air Combat is quite a special game, since it's hard
to explain the feelings you get when playing it. You can almost feel like you
are there, in the air combat, smell the petrol, feel the fear and speed and
the excitement when you manage to hit your opponent. All of those experiences
makes the game addictive and one of the best flight simulators out there, even
8088 Processor or higher.

When spiders forced Halle Berry out of her house
Los Angeles: Actress Halle Berry was forced to move out of her Hollywood home after a gardener found a colony of black widow spiders under a lawn chair in her pool area.
The Oscar-winning star says she freaked out when she realised the poisonous spiders were living beneath a chair she used every other day - and left the house until they had been destroyed.
"(There were) hundreds under this lawn chair that we would all sit on around the pool every other day. We found out there was a whole village, a colony of black widows...One of the gardeners decided he should clean it and when he looked under it was like, `Argh!`" a website has quoted her as saying.
"I just left... I said, `I`m gonna leave and you`re gonna have to handle that because I can`t stand spiders...` I don`t even like Daddy Long Legs (crane flies)," she added.
