I am going to assume part of your difficulty is not knowing how to get a picture into Mathematica. Look up Import in the Help Browser. That should get you started. If you need more help, you need to provide more detail as to your situation.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a photograph of you taken by yourself, usually for use in social media
'If cinema was the great art form of the 20th century, the selfie (a self-portrait uploaded to social media sites) will stand as the pinnacle of creative expression in the 21st.'New York Daily News 10th April 2013
'He's noticed that when he doesn't post a selfie, his followers go down by fifty a day. A lot of people are following him because of the selfies.'Courier Mail [Australia] 15th April 2013
Even as little as ten years ago, the idea of pointing a camera at your own face and taking a picture which you later share with a random group of people would have been considered unusual, a bit weird, ostentatious even. These days however, it's not only a perfectly acceptable but also a fashionable thing to do, as the popularity of social media steers us on a course of self-interest epitomized by the selfie.
some people argue that the popularity of the selfie … is a cultural marker of the current generation. The selfie could be considered another example of the kind of narcissistic tendencies … engendered by social media
A selfie is a picture of yourself that you take using a camera on a mobile phone or other hand-held device, usually composed of no more than head and shoulders. Selfies are often taken with a pose and/or camera angle that attempts to add a little something unique – not just a conventional picture of someone looking straight at the camera. The domain of the selfie is almost always digital – they are not printed, framed and put on the mantelpiece, but circulated via mobile phones, tablets, etc, for consumption by fellow partakers of social media. Arguably this is the key to their appeal – we can use them to remind each other of what we actually look like, or to put a face to names where acquaintance is restricted to the online universe. But of course another possible reason for the emergence of the selfie is practical – in the analogue era of photography, it was awkward to take a photo of yourself, and potentially rather wasteful to use up one of your precious exposures on a roll of film for a picture that would more than likely be out of focus. Today by contrast, we can snap away, bin anything we're not happy with, and edit and titivate to our heart's content to get that all-important image we're so keen to circulate.
Some people argue that the popularity of the selfie, like social media and reality TV, is a cultural marker of the current generation. The selfie could be considered another example of the kind of narcissistic tendencies (interest in your own life, appearance, experiences etc) engendered by social media, a phenomenon which previously spawned the term Facebook narcissism. Whatever you think about the selfie, it's a concept which seems to be embraced by a range of ages and walks of life, as this photograph of world famous actress Meryl Streep and former US secretary of State Hillary Clinton aptly illustrates.
The term selfie, sometimes though less commonly spelt selfy, first emerged in 2004 as a catchy Internet abbreviation of the word self-portrait. It was initially used as a hashtag on photo-sharing sites to indicate that the subject of a photo was the person who had uploaded it, but gradually began to take on a life of its own as a general reference to a self-taken digital photo.
Selfie/selfy is a recent example of the use of suffix -ie/-y to form diminutive nouns and pet names (compare, e.g. kid > kiddie, television > telly, Bill > Billy, etc). The same process also features in lappy, a newly coined reference to laptop, though this has so far been slower to catch on. In British English, use of -ie/-y generally has affectionate overtones, and its adoption in selfie could perhaps have been inspired by observing that it often features in 'guilty pleasures' or indulgences, as in e.g. choccy, biccy, drinkies, etc.

Spring 2011 SPD Committee Report
Phi Delta Kappa became fully integrated into the SBU community through the auspices of SPD. This professional education related fraternity currently has approximately 100 members and honored Dean Edelson and Dr. Moraghan at its "Friends of Education"
Spring semester overall enrollment in SPD is about 2600 matriculated students. Online education is expanding at a significant rate with approximately 1300 students per semester enrolled in online courses this past year. The largest online program after the MA/LS is the Educational Leadership program with students in Western New York (Tonawanda and Jamestown/Fredonia), Central New York (Syracuse area and Oneonta) and the Adirondack region and Northern New York. In addition SPD is servicing students in Hawaii, North Carolina, California, Europe, and in several cases, servicemen serving in Qatar and Bahrain.
Online dilemma – too much of a good thing? Online classes vs face-to-face was discussed. Enrollment figures show an increased percentage of online students as opposed to face-to-face. The EDL (Education Leadership) Program was used as an example, where student preference is driving growth in online courses.
New Program/ MA/HEA (Higher Education Administration): The program has been approved and has 20 matriculated students already enrolled. The program began in the fall semester with three classes.
The Driver Rehabilitation Program added a training center in Southampton for East End participants. In addition, Spanish speaking trainer/facilitators have been added to the program to provide full service to the Hispanic community. This program currently has over 3700 participants.
Non-Credit has hosted a CSI Challenge in Forensics for high school Students across Long Island and New Rochelle (Westchester County). They also hosted the Digi Girls Camp this summer, which was underwritten by Microsoft Corporation. This camp is designed to get young women involved in working computer hardware and software with the ultimate goal of having some matriculate into majors in computer science, software engineering, information systems management, etc.
The Teachers Professional Development Institute increased its outreach to the education community by 10% this past year through School Districts, Teacher Centers and NYSUT in New York City. TPDI has programs in 26 locations on Long Island, New York City and Westchester.
SPD sent representatives to expositions and career fairs in New Jersey and has been very active in on-campus recruitment as well as attendance at AACRAO sponsored events in the New York metropolitan area.
The current president of the SBU Alumni Association is Gloria Snyder, an SPD graduate. SPD is working with her and two other SPD graduates on her staff to begin development for 20,000+ SPD graduates who heretofore have been an untapped resource for the school and university.
Paul Edelson was named to a position on the Board of Directors of the Continuing Education Association of New York (CEANY) and was asked to be a keynote speaker at the University Professional and Continuing Association (UPCEA) international conference to be held in Toronto, Canada.

Two policemen and a female bystander were killed when a suicider bomber blew himself up in a car near the Iraqi Kurdish city of Kirkuk [2], AFP reported on Monday.
The attack in Dibis northwest of Kirkuk [3] wounded around 100 people, many of them schoolchilren, a local official said, speaking to the news agency.
Iraqi Kurdistan has been hit by a number of attacks in recent months [4] as the security situation across the country deteriorates and the regional government continues to dispute oil contracts with Baghdad.
The blast on Monday morning targeted the police station but also struck the adjacent girls' secondary school. Attacks of the same nature have killed 220 people in Iraq in the last month [5], according to AFP's count, using security and medical sources.

Welcome to internet television, where there… are… no… rules! At least that's what we're told. But usually internet tv shows boil down more or less to the same conventions we see everywhere else, except people say "fuck" way more. That was certainly the case with The After. Chris Carter was really going for a record with this one! Add up all the movies starring Harvey Keitel ever made and you still don't hear the word "fuck" as much as you do in the fifty-five minutes this supernatural apocalyptic thriller took to unfold.
The heroine of The After is Gigi, a sexy French girl we first think is an assassin but actually turns out to be an actress merely preparing to audition for the role of an assassin. Because it's always important to reference modern technology in an internet pilot to keep the kids interested, she FaceTimes with her sexy husband and adorable little girl who mumbles incoherently and toddles back and forth in a way I suppose parents who have kids find adorable, but that lead my mind to drift to more important issues like "What ever happened to Shields and Yarnell?" and "Why do my fingers smell like roast beef?"
Bad news, people: Gigi doesn't get the part. Even worse news: the audition was in Century City, which is basically a single street with big buildings sandwiched between Beverly Hills and the Westfield Shopping Mall and can apparently be rented out super-cheap because it's subbed in as "important big city business hub" on every tv show since Knots Landing was still on the air.
Next thing you know, Gigi finds herself trapped in an elevator with a diverse group of strangers with varying ethnic backgrounds and mysterious pasts, including a Latina cop, a white middle aged dowager with a cane, an Irish loud-mouth brute ("We're goona have tah take the fookin' starwell!"), and a pudgy birthday clown. The maximum capacity of the elevator did not allow for an emotionally-brittle Korean or a mean-faced Middle Easterner who regrets his past, so we'll have to wait on them til we get a series pick-up.
In the span of about five seconds, everyone in the jammed elevator goes into red-alert panic, which I can tell you from first hand experience is not believable because once I got stuck in an elevator with Emmy-winning actress Tyne Daly while we were both on our way up to Islands Fine Burgers and Drinks, and instead of freaking out we sat down on the floor and played Uno until Guapo the security guard came and freed us with his special elevator key.
The gang eventually makes it into a locked parking structure, where they encounter a wrongly accused African American who's recently escaped from prison, a sexy Southern "gal on the go," and Adrian Pasdar, who has yet to be hired for a role where he doesn't have to wear a dress shirt and an Armani two-button dress vest. For the next ten minutes, they all spend so long arguing and yelling at each other about what their next move should be that I honestly thought this show was going to be about a group of people having to re-populate the Earth from inside an underground West L.A.-adjacent parking structure (My boyfriend said that he'd be willing to have sex with the clown). –>READ MORE< --

Texas billionaire Tom Hicks warned Dubai International Capital group that he would block Liverpool co-owner George Gillett from selling his investment in the club to the Arab investment group. Gillett, who recently fell out with Hicks, has been receptive to the prospect of selling his 50 percent stake at a quick profit, but Hicks revealed that any move the Montreal Canadiens owner makes would have to be approved of by him.
"Not only am I not going to sell, my partner cannot sell without my approval," Hicks told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram yesterday. "So I
kind of have the ability to determine the outcome of what is going to happen and I am right in the middle of that."
According to the Guardian, Hicks would allow DIC to purchase Gillett's
stake only on the condition that he remain in charge of the club's management structure. DIC has rejected those terms and is reluctant to thrust Liverpool into another 50-50 joint venture that has
thus far proved to be damaging to the club. The investment group is determined to walk away from any deal if the impasse continues. In the Star-Telegram interview, Hicks also suggested that one way
to fix the situation would be for him to buy out Gillett's remaining stake and become Liverpool's outright owner. "For a lot of reasons I can't discuss, I haven't been able to fix it yet," he said.
"But I am preparing to be in a position to fix it."

Versailles show unveils creative life of Sun King
By Sophie Hardach
PARIS (Reuters) - A new exhibition at the gilded Chateau de Versailles outside Paris for the first time brings together hundreds of artworks owned by Louis XIV, the "Sun King" who remains one of France's most flamboyant monarchs.
A fierce ruler whose exclamation, "L'etat, c'est moi" ("I am the State"), summarizes a concept of power that still permeates French politics, Louis XIV was also a ballet dancer whose private tastes at times diverged from the official line.
"Louis XIV has suffered from a very negative image, an image of the king as absolute, frightening, almost like a despot," curator Nicolas Milovanovic told Reuters. "That's one of the reasons why there's never before been an exhibition."
Some 300 artworks were retrieved from all over Europe for the show at Versailles, which the king transformed from a hunting lodge into the dazzling heart of an absolutist state.
Even with the monarchist rule gone, the exhibition evokes its continuing influence on French culture -- President Nicolas Sarkozy himself chose Versailles as the backdrop for a policy speech earlier this year.
"Louis XIV implemented a political regime that was very typically French," said Jean-Jacques Aillagon, president of Versailles, standing next to a marble bust of the king. "In his hands, he held much of the political, religious, military, economic and even cultural power."
Among the most intriguing exhibits are a golden bodice and matching short skirt worn as a ballet costume by the young king. A wax relief complete with human grey hair and a glass eye shows the aging Louis, pock-marked and stubble-chinned.
"The king's taste became the taste of his kingdom, he had such a strong personality that it impressed itself on his environment," Aillagon told Reuters. Continued...

I'm so drawn to the work of Jennifer Davis, she is one of my favorite artists working today and I own several of her original paintings and some prints, too. I can't wait to display them in my new home because the walls feel so empty and are screaming for color and pattern and art is my favorite way to bring beauty into the home. You can purchase her work, including three new prints, over at Sebastian Foster which happens to have lots of other great art to adorn your walls.
Aren't these color combinations just fab? So many of Jennifer's peices could inspire a palette for an outfit, table setting, party or room design don't you think?
It's Friday everyone! Aren't you happy? This was a very challenging week for me, I was so busy with a million projects and now I have to read and edit the entire Decorate book from start to finish so wish me luck, I hope I make it through!!! :) And I need to get prepared for Morocco – I leave in one week! Yay!
How are you doing? What's new?

The success in D.C. was just the most recent for an orchestra that has performed at its best for the past 13 years under director John Robertson. For 11 straight years, the BHS orchestra has taken home top marks in the Michigan State Band and Orchestra Association festivals.
Before January, the orchestra had performed in two other Heritage music festivals and took first place in both.
So, when Manhattan Concert Productions in New York was trying to find 10 ensemble orchestras to perform at the National Band and Orchestra Festival March 23 at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the BHS orchestra stood out.
"That National Band and Orchestra Festival is a two-day event with renowned guests who provide recorded and written comments on schools' performances, and we have invited 10 orchestras from across the country," said Matthew Workman, director of public relations at Manhattan Concert Productions. "My dad sent me an article about the Berkley orchestra when they competed in D.C., and I reached out to Mr. Robertson and learned more about the program and realized they were a perfect fit for this national festival."
When Robertson was notified that the BHS orchestra had been selected to perform at the historic hall, he said it took a few minutes for it to sink in.
"I was very excited, and it took a moment, but obviously it is something we would not pass up, and it did not take much to convince me to go," Robertson said. "We normally go on trips every other year, but this is a tremendous opportunity and the students and parents jumped on board with it. And we have been practicing and making plans to visit different things in the city and putting on fundraisers to raise money.
"It is very exciting, and I have never been there myself. ... This is the first time our orchestra will ever play at Carnegie Hall."
One of the things that sets the BHS orchestra apart from some of the schools they have competed against, Robertson said, is that usually orchestras of similar size contain string, wind and brass sections. Berkley, however, will take 95 students to Carnegie Hall who only play stringed instruments.
"I doubt any of the other schools performing at Carnegie will have this large of a string ensemble, because most include brass and wind and percussion," Robertson said. "I think we have cultivated a very unique string orchestra sound here in Berkley. We have a bit of a reputation when we travel, with the quality of our performances, and we have developed a very warm and beautiful string tone that is rare to hear from other high school orchestras."
Robertson doesn't only work with a string orchestra throughout the year, however. Several performances include some of the top wind and brass players from the school's band, including an upcoming performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 to close out the year.
Part of the reason the BHS orchestra has been so successful, Robertson said, is the continued support from the school district and the parents of the students.
"More so than other programs in the area, our parents are willing to make sure students have adequate instruments and private lessons, if needed," he said. "I have been very fortunate to have students that come to class and work really hard, and I want them to enjoy the program and have fun. Our No. 1 goal is to become a pretty outstanding performing group, and the better you are at performing music, the more enjoyment you get from playing, and my students have worked hard for the past 13 years."
When performing at Carnegie Hall, the BHS orchestra won't be competing for a first-place trophy like the one they received in Washington, D.C. Rather, they will be there to learn more about performing orchestras, Workman said, and to see how schools from all over put together a performance.
For Robertson, he hopes his students can walk away with a little better grasp of classical music.
"I want (the students) to get a deeper love for classical music and see the possibilities and enjoyment you can get by playing classical music on a string instrument," he said. "I am so surprised by how many students have not seen the Detroit (Symphony) Orchestra, and the music they listen to on the radio is completely different than what we do in class. Classical music is a dying art, and I want this experience to be something they take with them for the rest of their lives."

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
It's been 3 months now that Social Security benefits started rolling in. Notified OPM of the SSI payment awards right away and seems that took them 3 months to do some calculations. Today I noticed that my August OPM annuity has a new section included titled " CAO" in the amount of a couple of hundred dollars. I thought that my montly OPM annuity will be reduced by 100% of my SSI award for one year followed by 60% reduction afterwards. Why are they collecting this little? Let's say my OPM annuity is $2000 and my SSI is $1200. Why isn't my new OPM annuity $800?
I am lost at this point...
You can't be collecting SSI? I assume you meant SSDI.
Happy 4th to Attorney McGill and almost the entire crew here! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, SSDI. Left the "D" off...

Battling the "Baby Blues"
Saying the first weeks of motherhood can be overwhelming is a total understatement. Your life has changed, your body has changed and there's this new little person who's totally depending on you for his very survival. Between the very real upheaval in your daily life and the rush of post-pregnancy hormones, many women end up going through some pretty tough emotional times.
Fortunately, new research has shown that there is a simple way to help you cope and possibly even prevent these lows. A recent study has shown women who have strong networks of emotional support have a lower risk of postpartum depression. Feeling understood, accepted and cared for helped the women in the study stay emotionally and physically healthy, which was good for them and their babies and resulted in lower incidences of postpartum depression.
How can you make sure you're surrounded by plenty of support? Start with your partner and other family members, before and after baby's arrival. Have someone come to your checkups with you; take a birthing class with your partner; read pregnancy books together. Make sure your nearest and dearest understand and empathize with what you're going through. Don't be afraid to talk to them when you're scared or anxious about becoming a parent!
If you don't have family close by, try to create your own support network. Consider joining a prenatal yoga or lamaze class to meet other moms-to-be. Your community might have new moms' groups, too (your local birthing center might have information on this, or check out pregnancy.meetup.com to see what's happening in your area). Even participating in an online pregnancy and parenting community can create a sense of belonging and friendship. The point is to become part of a community that makes you feel comfortable, valued and listened to -- which will help prevent postpartum depression.
Another wonderful way to lift your spirits and relax is a soothing bubble bath! Burt's Bees® has a wonderful array of bath salts and body oils to help melt the stress away.

The title of the just-released CD by Christian hip hop powerhouse Blaze – "Exposed" – is the perfect word to describe this collection of music written and performed by the artist herself. Blaze (a.k.a. Ashly Miles) bares her heart and soul in this album just as he does in all of her inspiring, soul-stirring music. In short, "Exposed" knocks it out of the park in its realness, its high-polished tracks and in its holy message of redemption for anyone who seeks it.
It's an understatement to say that Blaze holds nothing back in her rhymes or her delivery – she's got a big, bold voice that demands to be heard, and what she's got to say may very well save a life just as hers was saved years ago from the grip of darkness.
When Blaze tells her story, she is speaking of what her eyes have seen and her heart has felt in her young life, reaching back to when she was a teenage girl. Surrounded by drugs and alcohol when she was growing up, she went that path for a while. "Everyone I was cool with was in some type of pain, so they did drugs, partied and chased money to forget about it," Blaze recalls. She says she developed a tough exterior at the expense of finding peace and happiness.
Upon experiencing the complete spiritual re-awakening she desired and prayed for, she went on to release her acclaimed debut album "He Reigns" in 2009. She ministers to military troops across the country and when she's home in Seattle, she attends Christ the King Bible Fellowship serving as the Youth Ambassador.
With her second CD, Blaze is reaching new heights of excellence. Every song on "Exposed" sounds completely different from the other, making for a rich listening experience. Blaze and her guest artists make full use of stereo effects and all kinds of musical and electronic sounds. Writing credit on about half of the 13 tracks on "Exposed" is given to Blaze solo; the others include guest artists Willie Will, Kelly Ketz, Jazz Digga, PRo, Michelle Bonilla, Chris Lee Cobbins and Tony Stone.
Blaze owns what she is saying in her music. Behind a mic is where she seems to receive her power to teach of living one's life for Christ. This woman may be petite in size, but her voice is the right hook that could knock some sense into the most self-destructive disbeliever.
Blaze sings of ancient truths to a contemporary hip hop sound like a minister preaching from the mountaintop. This is the kind of music you can crank in your car and rattle the windows. The kickoff track "Holy (feat. PRo)" will give your bass a good workout – and the words you rap along to will be a prayer.
The title of the song "Press Play (Live My Life) (feat. Michelle Bonilla)," is a metaphor for stepping off into the arms of pure faith – the first step toward salvation.
"Do Something," with its intense, layered vocals, and "I Got It," a song about choosing Jesus over sex and drugs, are being released as singles. "Do It For Love Interlude" is tight drum-and-bass, then "Do For Love (Feat. Jazz Digga)" smoothes into R&B while Blaze gives reveals a performance-artist style of inflection to her flow.
If you're into hip hop or just enjoy listening to uplifting music that will stir a fire within you, "Exposed" will bring something very special to your CD collection. Go to www.blazemusic5.com to order "Exposed."

Good metric for stance angles?
I usually ride a 15/-15 stance because I like to ride switch. But everyone always says it's preference. To me it seems like it should be more than just preference. Sure different angles suit different styles of riding, but it seems that whatever you're doing it should be anatomically ergonomic.
I was playing around with more drastic stance angles today. My feet kind of naturally duck out a little bit when I walk. I decided to jump really high in the air and stomp down and see what angles my feet were at. Turns out my feet angles were pretty drastic; 23/-20.
I put my feet at 15/-15 and I started to bend my knees and noticed that my knees kind of bent inward. As I started to angle my feet outward from 15/-15, my knees started to bend more in line with my foot. It felt more natural and comfortable. To most it probably seems drastic but that's how my legs are built :P
Do you think there's some merit to what I'm saying in terms of knees bending in line with your foot as a decent metric? How did you find your optimal stance angles?
I can't wait to ride to test this out. I'm currently nursing a dislocated shoulder though. I've broken it before and i've dislocated my left shoulder as well, so I'm using the same methods physical therapists use and I've gain back a lot of strength just in the last 5 days. So far this year I've sustained a mildly sprained wrist and dislocated shoulder. 5 days ago my arm felt like a heavy, dead dangling piece of meat with loose ligaments and tendons. It's a terrible feeling. :P Anyhow, I'm done with injuries for the year. Smooth riding and stomping my landings from here on out!

Like others have said, I normally only get compliments if I have a new cut or style. Or I might get a "your hair is getting so long!", something like that. I get the occasional random compliment, but not often. As long as I'm happy with the way it looks, it doesn't bother me.

China Launches War To Get Quality
The Chinese government has been shaken by recall of millions of toys and complaints concerning the quality of Chinese goods. The government has appointed a new minister whose function is supervising the quality of goods, instituted new licensing procedures, and created a black list of exporters and importers who are engaged in selling shoddy goods. The four month campaign is designed to ensure China's reputation as a producer of quality goods is restored.
The old adage about haste makes waste is certainly true about China.

Obesity Sparking Population Decline
The Lancet report issued in England claims the rise in obesity will have a devastating effect on the capacity of women to become fertile. There is already evidence an increasing number of women are unable to conceive due to being overweight. Experts argue that obesity hampers being able to become fertile. Fertility clinics in England increasingly are refusing treatment to women who are overweight.
The number of people in England who are overweight has quadrupled over the past 25 years and current estimates are that two-thirds of people in Great Britain are overweight. Of course, similar figures are evident in other post industrial societies such as the United States. There is something ironic in having increased wealth and decreased ability to conceive.

Airman Attacks Gays, Minorities and Gov. Schwarzenegger
An aide to the top ranking general of the California National Guard was revealed to have a web site in which he urges mass violence, spews hatred toward women, gays, and Governor Schwarzenegger of California. Travis Gruber explained, "I was under the impression I was writing anonymously.'
I guess if it was anonymous, we should all just forget what he wrote. The good news is the quick action by military officials to get rid of this creature who holds a responsible position but is unaware of his responsibilities to his fellow servicemen. Women, gays, and minorities are risking their lives in Iraq. I figure, Arnold can handle himself and doesn't need any of my help.

The oil and mineral race is on in the Artic. Last month, Russian scientists began making claims the Arctic region belongs to Russia. Now, geographers are claiming the Arctic is an extension of a geographic feature in Russia known as the Lomonsovov Ridge. Unfortunately, for the Russians the same ridge is found in Greenland which raises questions as to whether or not Denmark owns the Arctic. Obviously, this eventually will wind up in the hands of the United Nations.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the UN established claim to the Arctic and promised to respect the region's environment in any effort to extract wealth? This could become the first area of the world owned and governed by the world. Its riches would benefit all areas of the world.

Palestinians Move Away From Hamas
A new survey by the Palestinian led Jerusalem Media and Communications Center indicates Hamas has suffered a significant decline in popularity among Palestinians. About 47% of people support the Abbas government and only 24% are supporting the Hamas government. It is most surprising that even in the Gaza strip which is controlled by Hamas, 44% supported the Abbas government. The study also indicated 61% of Palestinians oppose Israel's offer of exchange of territories in order to maintain control of West Bank settlements but 38% were willing to accept it.
If this study is valid, it reveals a strong under current among Palestinians for peace. The fact that 38% are willing to accept the Israel proposal suggests there is a base for peace. If Israel would abandon the West Bank settlements, there is powerful evidence peace could be achieved with Palestinian leaders. Hamas would be left behind if Israel offered to evacuate West Bank settlements. Now is the time for Israel to make a dramatic offer of peace, it will be received by the Palestinian people.

Bush Vietnam Analogy — True or False
President Bush's speech before the Veterans of Foreign Wars drew an analogy between leaving Vietnam and leaving Iraq. He also cited Germany, Japan, and South Korea as examples of nations in which we remained leading to dramatic results in democracy. His hypothesis is interesting, but deeply flawed. For example, Bush argues if we leave Iraq it will result in other nations falling victim to terrorism. The United States left Vietnam as critics argued the 'falling dominoes" theory which insisted other southeastern nations would fall to communism. As of this date, no other southeast Asian nation went communist despite the success of communism in Vietnam.
The success in Germany, Japan, and South Korea was attributable to various factors. For example, all three nations are homogeneous and were never divided over issues of religion or fighting factions. Each of these nations slowly evolved into democratic entities because they possessed political institutions which all parties accepted as the basis of government. None of these characteristics is present in Iraq. The Bush surge has brought absolutely no evidence of increased political cohesion. If anything, political divisions have gotten even worse.
One might also point out that the United States provided economic stimulation which resulted in Germany, Japan and South Korea becoming modern post industrial societies. Iraq is much different, and contains, at this point, no prospect for economic development. In fact, over 2,000,000 have fled the country. What percent of those who fled came from economic entrepreneurs or well educated leaders? Iraq is losing its vital center of educated professionals due to violence.
President Bush, as always, is confused about history. He was confused in his speech about Cambodia which was the scene of the "killing fields" and confused those murders had anything to do with American withdrawal from Vietnam. Ironically, the examples cited by Bush represent policies that are dramatically opposite of what he is trying in Iraq.

Family killed in Dallas shooting
One of the worst episodes of family violence in Dallas history left five people dead and another injured, authorities said.
Two young children were shot dead, along with their mother, their grandfather and a 20-year-old woman. Another woman was wounded.
The injured woman alerted neighbours after fleeing the house bleeding and screaming.
Police discovered the victims' bodies in the kitchen and living room.
"This is the worst that I've ever seen, and I've been in homicide 10 years," police homicide Sergeant Gary Kirkpatrick said.
Neighbours reported hearing sounds resembling "a string of fireworks going off" coming from next door.
Then the neighbours saw the 29-year-old suspect race off in the family car.
A semi-automatic handgun was found at the house, Sergeant Kirkpatrick said.
Domestic problems
The suspect's brother told police the family had domestic problems, the officer added.
The woman who survived the attack was in critical condition from a gunshot wound in the upper body.
The shootings shocked the family's neighbours.
"He was a very cordial person," Delia McClendon said of the man taken into custody.
"He was out just yesterday painting his house," she added.
"He and my mom stood out there talking and a couple of weeks ago our car was stolen and he came over to see if there was anything he could do to help."

PLAYOFFS!? Yep, playoffs. It's time to get real with the fake football, kids. To help you this morning, as always, we'll be letting you know who is active and inactive for the 1 p.m. Eastern kickoffs. With 10 early games, there are a lot of names to watch this morning. Chief among them are no Chiefs, but they do include Michael Turner, Danny Amendola , Steve Johnson and Michael Bush . Keep refreshing this page until the early kicks for all of the necessary info.
Players who have already been ruled out for Week 13 include Jordy Nelson, James Starks, Cecil Shorts, Rashad Jennings, Donald Brown and LeSean McCoy. For a full list of injuries around the league this week, click on the link below to the NFL's official injury report.
-- Good news for Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris: NFL Network's Alfred Breer is reporting that Terrell Suggs will not play today because of his torn biceps muscle.
-- Danny Amendola is inactive for the Rams. He has made some strides with his foot injury, but it's still holding him back, and there's no reason for the Rams to risk him. With Amendola out, I really like Chris Givens as a high-upside WR3.
Jonathan Stewart and Brandon LaFell are inactive for the Panthers. No surprise there as both didn't practice this week. Steve Smith is the only Panthers wideout you can trust versus the Falcons. And DeAngelo Williams is merely a flex option.
-- Bengals kicker Mike Nugent is inactive. But tight end Jermaine Gresham is active. He's a decent play versus the Cowboys.
-- Tim Tebow is active for the Jets, Greg McElroy is inactive. Whatever, So now that we have that out of the way ....
-- Falcons RB Michael Turner is active despite an elbow injury. He is losing snaps to Jacquizz Rodgers, but I like him as an RB2 against a Panthers team that he always rips up.
-- Steve Johnson is active for the Bills. He was limited during the practice week because of a hamstring injury. He is an OK WR3 against the Rams, who have a sneaky-good pass defense.
-- Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray is active. There are questions about his health, but he looked OK against the Eagles, and he should get another 20+ carries. Easy RB2.
-- Michael Bush is active for the Bears. Matt Forte's owners all give an annoyed grunt.
-- Alshon Jeffery is also active for the Bears. He is starting and is a desperation WR3 as a big-play threat against the Vikings. Devin Hester is active, but he's not on the fantasy radar.
-- Ben Roethlisberger is active, as expected, for the Steelers. He is a low-end QB1 today, and his return raises the values of Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown a lot.
-- Titans WR Kenny Britt is active. He is no more than a WR3, but he has been heavily targeted near the end zone in recent weeks.
-- Rashard Mendenhall is inactive, a healthy scratch for the Steelers. Jonathan Dwyer will start, and Isaac Redman will be his chance of pace. Mendenhall is off the fantasy radar.
Fantasy Analysis:
Nelson is out with another hamstring injury. Starks has a knee injury that will keep him out for a while, probably the rest of the regular season. The Packers' offense shouldn't miss a beat without Nelson as they go to Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb, James Jones and the rest numerous times tonight versus the Lions. I don't like any RB at all in this game other than Joique Bell. This will be a pure aerial show.
Cecil Shorts and Rashad Jennings are out with concussions. Shorts seems to be futher along than Jennings as he has reportedly passed his baseline tests, but he is still being bogged down by concussion symptoms. For today, Justin Blackmon is the Jags' No. 1 WR and the only passing option there worth using. But a day against Antonio Cromartie might be a long one for the rookie. He's a WR3. And Montell Owens will get the start at running back. He's a flex just because of opportunity, but who knows if he can actually get it done.
Donald Brown was ruled out for today's action back on Wednesday because of an ankle injury he suffered last week. If you follow me on Twitter (@Spokes_Murphy), you'll see that I absolutely love Vick Ballard today versus Tennessee. He's a strong RB2.
We already know that Michael Vick, barring an injury to Nick Foles, will be on the sidelines for the rest of the season. There appears to be a chance that McCoy could return to the field at some point this year if he gains clearance. Why would Philly play him down the stretch of a lost season? I don't know, and I don't think they will in the end. For this week at least, Bryce Brown is a low-end RB1, even against the Buccaneers' solid run D.

Revenue performance across the fixed and mobile segments was positive with mobile providing the largest gains with increased subscriber numbers. Revenue growth was seen across all business segments, with the exception of the wholesale which was highlighted in Q2 09 as being exceptional.
Net profit (before royalty) was AED157.1 million (US$42.8 million) for the quarter a 398% outperformance vs Q3 08 and up 36% vs Q2 09.
Commenting on the results, Ahmad Bin Byat, Chairman of du, said, "In a challenging economic environment, du continues to focus on its core business objectives, our customers, by providing continual upgrades to our network infrastructure and product range in order to bring continued customer satisfaction on all interactions with the company. Both profit and subscriber number growth is a clear indication that we have a robust business strategy".
During the third quarter du's pre and post paid mobile subscriber numbers saw continued growth with the addition of 25,900 post-paid mobile subscribers, representing a 55% increase in subscriber additions over the second quarter as a result of continued marketing strategy to increase market share. Post-paid customers represent 3.6% of du's mobile business. Pre-paid mobile subscribers also increased with an additional 207,300 subscribers added for the quarter.

The study
"The Bees´ Burden. An analysis of pesticide residues in comb pollen (beebread)
and trapped pollen from honey bees" is the largest of its kind in Europe
comprising over 100 samples from 12 countries. In total 53 different chemicals
were detected. The study is a snapshot of the toxicity of Europe's current
agricultural system. It demonstrates the high concentrations and wide range of
fungicides found in pollen collected around vineyards in Italy, the widespread
use of bee-killing insecticides in pollen from fields from Poland, the
intriguing detection of DDE (a toxic, bioaccumulative breakdown product of
historically banned DDT) to the frequent detection of the insect nerve-poison
thiacloprid, another example of the notorious class of the neonicotinoids,
found in many samples from Germany.
Matthias Wüthrich, Greenpeace ecological farming campaigner: "This study on contaminated pollen reveals the unbearable burden of bees and other vital pollinators. Bees are exposed to a cocktail of toxic pesticides. This is yet more proof that there is something fundamentally wrong in the current agricultural model which is based on the intensive use of toxic pesticides, large-scale monocultures and corporate control of farming by a few companies like Bayer, Syngenta & Co. It shows the need for a fundamental shift towards ecological farming."
The report confirms the findings of a recent study [2] carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In its study, EFSA acknowledges vast knowledge gaps related to the health of bees and pollinators, including on the effects of chemical 'cocktails', and calls on the EU and national governments to fill this gap with further scientific investigation. In light of its findings on pollen contamination and following EFSA's recommendations, Greenpeace calls on the European Commission and policy makers across Europe to:
· Extend the scope of restrictions already imposed on the use of certain pesticides harmful to bees, namely clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and fipronil, so that their use is completely banned.
· Fully ban all other pesticides harmful to bees and other pollinators (including chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin and deltamethrin).
· Set ambitious Europe-wide action plans to better assess pesticide impacts on pollinators and reduce their use.
· Encourage research and development of non-chemical alternatives to pest management and promote the widespread implementation of ecological farming practices on the ground.
In order to protest against beekilling pesticides in pollen and the current bee-kill incident in Germany with about one million of dead bees caused by the Bayer neonicotinoid clothianidin [3] more than 20 Greenpeace-activists unfurled a 10 x 17m fotobanner with bees at the Bayer headquarter in Leverkusen (Germany) stating: "Bayer: STOP KILLING US!". With this action the activists are further exposing the agrochemical industry as the main beekiller and driver of the current destructive industrial agricultural model.

Romelu Lukaku is on a mission to outscore Chelsea's strikers.
The Belgium international has hit four for Everton, where he is on a season loan, but the Blues trio of Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba have drawn a blank in the League for Jose Mourinho, although the Spaniard has scored twice in other competitions.
Lukaku told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad: "The coach decides and as a player you have to respect that. I chose to leave and it's up to me to prove the coach wrong.
"The only thing I can do is play well and score a lot. And then I think people will say that I'm a good player. I want to score more goals than the strikers of Chelsea. We will see at the end of the season who made the best choice."

LAND O'LAKES — After two unusual miscues handed Sunlake a 14-13 victory over Nature Coast on a soggy, lightning-delayed evening, Seahawks quarterback Josh Zifer had only one heavenly explanation.
"Give it to God, I guess, basically," Zifer said. "It was a lot of luck tonight …"
And a lot of rain-induced errors that helped the Seahawks (4-1, 2-1) keep their hopes of back-to-back postseason appearances alive with a sloppy win in a game delayed 30 minutes because of lightning.
Nature Coast (3-3, 2-1) took advantage early when Joey Berrios stuffed a fourth-down rush at the Sharks 21 to kill a Sunlake drive. Neither team could maintain much offense on a slushy field, sloshing their way to 102 total yards in a scoreless first quarter.
As the skies cleared in the second, the scoring began. Sunlake's Connor Gilboy booted a 29-yard field goal to give his team a 3-0 lead with 3:53 left in the half.
"This was pretty much just a good old backyard brawl is what it amounted to," Seahawks coach Bill Browning said. "Our kids really scrapped and never gave up."
Sunlake's defense bottled up Nature Coast star running back Matt Breida, holding the Division I recruit to 62 yards — his lowest output since a blowout loss to Hernando in NCT's ninth game last fall.
The Sharks finally got into rhythm under a new quarterback in the final 1:04 of the half. Trevor Castro replaced runner Ryan Quigley and immediately sparked the offense.
Castro completed 3 of 4 passes in a 32-second span with 28-yard completions to Jonathan Thomas and Ryan Roscillo. Thomas fell in the end zone on the next play, but Castro hit the 6-foot-3 sophomore, who collected the ball on his knees for his third touchdown of the season. Castro's 63 passing yards on that drive were more than NCT gained in the previous 23 minutes combined (44).
Sunlake continued to get close but couldn't come away with touchdowns against a stingy Sharks defense. Zifer busted through a hole and had a path to the goal line but lost the ball inside the Nature Coast 5.
"I put it all on me," Zifer said.
The fumble rolled into the end zone, and DeShawn Smith fell on it to preserve the Sharks' lead. It didn't last long.
Breida committed a rare fumble on the next possession, and Sunlake's Darren Bainbridge recovered to set up another 29-yard field goal from Gilboy.
Sunlake's defense forced a three-and-out and caught a break when Nature Coast's punter touched his knee down while fielding a low snap inside his 10.
"Our defense played their butts off," Zifer said.
And it gave Zifer a chance to atone for his mistake. Two plays later, he rumbled 3 yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score. He fired a pass to a leaping Eddie Burgos for the two-point conversion to boost the lead to 14-7.
"We knocked on the door enough," Browning said. "We finally put a couple scores in there."
The Sharks had two more drives left in them. Castro led NCT on a 55-yard drive early in the fourth quarter and capped it off with a 1-yard rush that cut the deficit to one. But a personal foul on the play pushed Nature Coast's extra-point attempt back 15 yards.
The Sharks attempted to run the extra point in and failed.
NCT made a final push in the last five minutes, converting on a fourth-and-one rush by Breida. But Burgos intercepted a last-gasp, fourth-down pass to seal the victory.

Installing 4-way switch in garage
My garage lights are currently controlled via two 3-way switches (one at the top of the stairs, one at the bottom). I'd like to add another 4-way switch so I can control the lights from the other end of the garage.
I understand how to do the electrical part (how to setup the circuit), my question is more about the materials and permitting aspects of this work. I live in San Francisco, so if someone happens to know the actual permit guidelines for this area, I'd be much appreciative.
My original plan was to run a 12 or 14 gage armored cable from the bottom 3-way switch, along the top of the garage (under the floor joists), to the other end of the garage, where I'd install the new 4-way switch. As I was picking out the armored cable at Home Depot, the sales guy told me that armored cable is not allowed in San Francisco garages, and I would need to use plastic-clad wire inside a pipe conduit. This seems like a huge pain, is it true?
I tried to read the San Francisco electrical code, but it's very hard to follow. The electrical code seems to allow "armored cable AC" but is more restrictive about "metal-clad cable MC", but I can't quite figure out the difference between them. Further, the code seems to care about such cable being installed in "wet areas", but the top of my garage isn't wet by any stretch of the imagination. Looking at the existing conduit in my garage, most of it is run in metal tubes, but there are occasional short runs of armored cable, although I'm not sure how old they are (they could be from before the electrical code changed?).
Also, would I need to get permit for this kind of work? It seems like such a simple project. The lights that this new switch would control consume around 200W (2 neon tubes), so this isn't a big circuit by any stretch of the imagination.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Actually you be installing a three way switch in the new box and the four way switch in the old three way box.

San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Brown suffered a broken left ankle during Saturday's preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. While hauling in an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, Brown went down and was carted off. The penciled-in starters at wide receiver for San Diego should be Robert Meachem, Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal in the slot.
Fantasy Analysis:
With Brown out for nearly half the season, this is a death blow to his fantasy status. After a solid rookie year in 2011, the second-year wideout out of San Diego State was poised to take a big step forward and see a definite increase in playing time. This injury puts that potential to bed and Brown should be limited to dynasty rosters only. The Chargers hope to have him back by Week 6, but he'll also need time to rehab his injury and get his leg back in shape.

You been VERY patient throughout this Build my friend so listen to what they're saying and correct a few things BEFORE strapping it down.
*As said the pump "MUST" be gravity fed from the tank, THAT IS A MUST
*As for it starving for fuel after you drove it, that in itself has to be corrected before you strap down. What Fuel Pump are you running ??? I had that problem once when I used too much pump and it went into thermal overload when hot (on a different SC vehicle I had).
*As for Boost you have to remember with the Big Blowers you dont need insane boost to make insane power so I agree to Dyno it with 5 or 6.
You have to remember that the more boost you run the more octane you need. Have you done the math on yours and figured out the final compression ratio ??? My 871 is -5.5 underdriven and I'm only running 7-8 lbs of Boost and it's the equivalent of 13.1 compression ( I started with a 8.75 motor). I have The Pulley Drive Ratio Chart, The Drive & Boost Chart, The Final Compression Chart, and the Upper & Lower Pulley Charts, but it's all for the 871 so it wouldn't do you any good unfortunately.
As for the belt here you go straight from The Blower Shop and exactly how I have mine for 2 years now
The blower belt adjustment should be done with the motor cold, and have 3/4" deflection in or out on the long side of the belt. This should give you 1 1/2" total deflection. Once the motor is warm this will decrease to roughly 1/4" deflection in or out, or a total deflection of 1/2". Over tightening the belt can cause severe damage to the blower and/or crankshaft.
Here's a general final compression chart to give you an idea of how much the compression will rise with different boost levels
