Kovacevic: How will Pirates face adversity?
Given the public panic at the Pirates losing twice to the lowly Cubs, then coming home and falling to the high-flying A's for the first three-game losing streak since ... what, Grapefruit ball? ... it surely was safe to project that a fourth consecutive loss on this Tuesday night at PNC Park would have summoned no less than the Four Horsemen of the Epic Collapse.
So, Oakland 2, Pittsburgh 1?
Batten down the hatches!
Trade Brandon Inge to the Cardinals!
Trade him to the Reds, too!
Fire Lamont!
Ask Teke!
Do something!
Fair enough on the Inge thing, actually. He's hitting his weight at .184, punctuated by 3-for-19 pinch-hitting. And if his primary role on the roster is clubhouse chemist, that's as expendable as his production. As attested by a few players themselves in this space a week ago, this tight-knit group has lab coats to spare.
What it needs are more bats, including what's already here.
In that same piece a week ago, I advised caution with any major trade that risks blowing up whatever cosmos aligned to get this team this far, while also expressing confidence in the pitching and the everyday eight. I stand by that, as well as the lingering asterisk attached to right field.
But no bench trade is ever a major trade, and that's now mandatory territory. Between Inge, Travis Snider, Gaby Sanchez, Garrett Jones and Michael McKenry, the Pirates are .148 as pinch-hitters, with one home run and 11 RBI.
That's not just upgradable.
That's unconscionable.
And to his credit, Clint Hurdle acknowledged as much when pressed Tuesday, saying management is having "conversations about the best direction for the club."
Keep talking, gentlemen.
In the seventh inning, Hurdle sent Sanchez up as a pinch-hitter with a man on second. One out, one run down.
We've seen it all year and, fair or not, tight games are what the Pirates play, and all it takes is a pinch-hit to win.
It also takes, especially with this franchise's recent history, some real resolve.
Let's not kid anyone: The sky isn't falling — not even during 90-minute rain delays that have no rain! — but this is the first real adversity the 2013 edition has faced. Sure, there was the 1-5 start and another identical stretch in June, but that was before soaring to the best record in the majors, before expectations soared concurrently.
It's important — imperative, actually — to hold it together.
"We're not changing lanes," Hurdle fairly beamed moments after this loss. "We're staying the course."
I think they will.
Call me crazy after seeing this team just drop series to the Phillies and Cubs and now the A's, but it's still playing quite well per its strengths — pitching and defense — and, to be blunt, several hitters are performing below par. Not just in right field, either.
There's more to be had from Neil Walker than .244 and two stints on the disabled list.
There's even more from Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte, who have been good but can be great.
And what of Jones, who is capable of huge tears, but who has dragged through two months at .239 with little pop?
He assured after an 0 for 2 in this one he's "getting there," and I'm prone to believe him.
All can and should do more.
If they don't, then revisit.
Here's something else: It's wholly possible that this little slide will be good thing.
No, think about it: If the Pirates don't ever struggle, or even if their struggles are delayed beyond the July 31 trade deadline, a lot of warts can stay hidden until it's too late. Better to start fretting over real needs right now.
Coming out of the All-Star break, the Pirates have a nine-game road trip that includes the Reds and Nationals, then six each against the Cardinals and Rockies in a 15-game span.
That's a lot of hard ball.
But that's also how it goes. It's just the natural ebb and flow of baseball that the Pirates had somehow — unnaturally — sailed past until now.
Healthiest reaction of all came from the precocious Marte: "Everything is good. Tomorrow, you'll see."

Seward Announces $250k Hospice Grant
The 2007-2008 state budget includes $250,000 for the capital expansion program of Catskill Hospice and Palliative Care, Senator James L. Seward said today.
"The funding will provide a shot in the arm for Hospice's efforts to update its campus in Oneonta," Seward said. "Thousands of families every year benefit from Hospice's service to patients and their families facing terminal illnesses. And Hospice helps reduce the cost of government services tremendously by providing end-of-life care at home instead of in institutional settings. It's appropriate to support the work of Hospice because of its many benefits."
"We are grateful for your grant which will help us expand our services to meet the needs of out patients and families. The aging population in our three counties is in need of our services and we continue to do everything in our power to meet their needs," said Development Director Huemac Garcia.
According to Hospice officials, the state funding will help pay for computer upgrades, an HVAC system, replacement roofs, rebuilding and resurfacing roads, and improvements to the interior of 542 Main Street.
Hospice is considering a $4 million capital fundraising campaign to support construction of a 15,000 square foot, ten bed hospice residence.
Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care serves Otsego, Delaware and Schoharie Counties.

Editorial: Iran's elusive motives
Three days after U.S. officials exposed a bizarre Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, skeptics, including close U.S. allies, are scratching their heads over the "why" questions:
•Why would Iran — or whatever elements of the regime were involved — take such a foolish risk? If traced back to Tehran, a successful attack would have virtually guaranteed U.S. military retaliation.
•And why would the Iranians be so inept — hiring a used-car salesman to outsource the killing to Mexican drug lords? Never mind the tack-on plan to bomb embassies in Washington and Argentina.
About Editorials/Debate
Opinions expressed in USA TODAY's editorials are decided by its Editorial Board, a demographically and ideologically diverse group that is separate from USA TODAY's news staff.
Most editorials are accompanied by an opposing view — a unique USA TODAY feature that allows readers to reach conclusions based on both sides of an argument rather than just the Editorial Board's point of view.
President Obama promised Thursday that when everyone had the facts, there would be no doubt about an Iranian connection, and based on the evidence so far, that is not hard to believe. The car salesman is talking, and wiretaps establish his connection to Iran's Quds Force, the elite unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that directs Iranian terrorism and holds significant control in other matters, including the Iranian nuclear program.
But answers to the whys remain elusive.
The leading explanation for the incompetence — that the savvy Quds Force lacked operatives here — seems thin, and the cost/benefit analysis is tougher.
The Iranians certainly had reasons to target the ambassador. They are locked in a contest for regional power with the Saudis, and the ambassador is known to have urged a U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. U.S. officials also assert that the Iranians hoped al-Qaeda would be blamed. But is that really enough to risk an attack on U.S. soil?
From a reasoned, Western perspective, the calculus doesn't add up. But religiously driven terrorists see the world through a different lens.
Successful attacks on the USS Cole, and on two U.S. embassies in Africa, led Osama bin Laden to believe the 9/11 attacks would prompt the United States to pull out of the Middle East, not unite Americans to launch a massive counter-attack.
The Quds Force's regional success might have similarly inspired global hubris. It arms and trains proxy forces in Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq and Afghanistan, and it has been linked to many successful terrorist attacks, including the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
Obama said Thursday that there will be accountability. It needn't be swift or military, but once the evidence is in, it must be effective enough to deter the terrorists from bin Laden's reasoning.

Wayne Bennett says the Brisbane Broncos have banded together behind forward Francis Molo in the wake of James Ackerman's death.
The rugby league community has rallied around both Ackerman's family and Molo, who made the tackle on Ackerman while playing for Broncos feeder team Norths in Saturday's match.
Bennett wouldn't comment on the QRL's decision to send Molo's case straight to the judiciary at a date yet to be determined, saying only the club had engaged legal representation for the young forward.
That date is more likely to be confirmed after the announcement that James Ackerman's funeral will be open to the public at Sunshine Coast Stadium at 11am on Wednesday, July 1.
Bennett said Molo and his teammates were responding as well as could be expected after an emotional week.
"It seems to go with the territory these days, coaching (goes into) the background a little bit and it's just making sure that everybody in the club's handling the situations and particularly (Molo).
"Everyone's been really good and supportive."
The NRL sent welfare officers to Queensland and Molo has been offered counselling.
Bennett said there was no pressure on the 20-year-old.
"He needs to be around his teammates ... he was there this morning but it's pretty optional what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do," Bennett said.
"We're not going to put any demands on him or tell him what he should do or shouldn't do - we just support him.
"The best place at times like this is to be with your friends and your mates and it's important that he's around us."
Bennett was Newcastle Knights coach when Alex McKinnon was left a paraplegic after a tackle went wrong during a game against the Melbourne Storm.
Brisbane takes on Newcastle on Friday and will be without centre Jack Reed (head knock), with Jordan Kahu replacing him in the centres.
Dale Copley comes on to the bench, returning from injury.

Math Education Mojo
McDaniel's graduate faculty boasts one of the nation's most respected and effective mathematics educators, Francis "Skip" Fennell, past president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and its 2012 Lifetime Achievement awardee.
Fennell's efforts to improve curricula and teaching methods at the elementary school level led to the creation of McDaniel's Mathematics Instructional Leader certificate program for teachers of pre-K through grade 6 — the first of its kind in Maryland.
"We need elementary school mathematics specialists, elementary classroom teachers who know and understand mathematics and can effectively mentor their colleagues," says Fennell, who spent the first decade of his career as an elementary teacher and principal. "Given our country's need for students with a mathematics and science background and interest, this project is a first step in that direction, with multiple national implications."
In recognizing Fennell, NCTM cited his impact on elementary mathematics specialists regionally and nationally, especially his work with the Brookhill Foundation's Elementary Mathematics Specialists and Teacher Leaders Project. In March, Brookhill awarded a $375,000 grant to Fennell to renew his research studies that provide teaching models to mathematics professionals worldwide. This is the second grant Brookhill awarded to Fennell; a $400,000 grant was made in 2009.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan authorities have unveiled 17 ancient Roman figurines, which they say revolutionary forces seized from Moammar Gadhafi's soldiers during the battle for the capital Tripoli.
Director of the state antiquities department Saleh Algabe showed the recovered objects to reporters on Saturday, hailing the find as an important recovery of national treasures.
The pieces include a female figurine and several small human busts in marble, as well as two pottery fragments. Albage said they date back to the second and third centuries A.D.
He says the pieces were seized from a truck on the road to Tripoli's airport on August 20, as revolutionary forces were entering the capital. He says it appeared Gadhafi's forces wanted to smuggle them out of the country and sell them.

Commercial Pet Food
Commercial pet food had been around since the late 19th century but in the fifties it really took off. With better manufacturing and utilising bi-products from the human food industry; packaged pet food became the norm.
But something else happened at the same time. Dogs and cats started to get ill with diseases that had not previously been common such as, obesity, diabetes and pancreatitis as well as degenerative conditions such as heart, lung, and liver disease. Diarrhea, allergies, skin conditions and gingivitis became more common too.
Although more commercial pet foods today are now offering better ingredients (dump the junk section) processing requires them to be cooked to high temperatures, destroying much of the goodness found in raw food.

George Ranney '66 Named Chairman of Northeastern Illinois Public Transit Task Force by Gov. Quinn
From the Chicago Tonight website:
Also today, Gov. Pat Quinn appointed a team to recommend overhauling the region's entire transit system.
Quinn issued an order to create the Northeastern Illinois Public Transit Task Force, an independent panel of transit, finance and government leaders. The 15-member task force will issue recommendations to reform the mass transit system in northeastern Illinois, according to a release from Quinn's office.
"It's clear that the mass transit system in northeastern Illinois is not working for taxpayers," Quinn said. "This task force is a step forward to make our transit system worthy of the public's trust. Their recommendations will be valuable as we work in both the veto and spring sessions to reform mass transit in northeastern Illinois."
Initial recommendations will be provided to Quinn and the llinois General Assembly before the fall veto session, and the task force will issue a final report by January 31, 2014.

Before being discovered by med spas, lasers were used exclusively for slicing turkeys during space Thanksgiving. Give thanks for lasers with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- C$69 for one signature anti-aging cold-laser facial (up to a C$169 value)
- C$179 for three signature anti-aging cold-laser facials (a C$507 value)
A microdermabrasion exfoliates damaged, dull cells without tugging or suction before a cocktail of Forlle'd products caters to the client's individual skin concerns such as wrinkles or sagging skin around the eyes. This prepares complexions for the gentle laser treatment, in which mild rays stimulate lymph flow, cellular repair, and the production of firming collagen to chase off fine lines and wrinkles. Then an ultrasound treatment helps to infuse the skin with a final mix of products, finishing off the roughly one-hour treatment.
Though this merchant sometimes offers a discounted price online, this Groupon is still the best deal available.
Reveal Laser
Reveal Laser specializes in gently healing signs of facial aging and tissue damage with cold lasers. Every technician on staff has completed a comprehensive course in the Swiss technology, which is mild enough to treat those suffering from rosacea and couperose. The light is engineered to promote cellular renewal and the production of collagen—a compound responsible for firm, youthful skin—to lift under-eye bags, soften wrinkles, and diminish scars. Exfoliation precedes most cold-laser treatments, clearing pores with an exfoliation technique that eschews suction and tugging, making it a safer treatment for those with rosacea and couperose. Keeping with the centre's ethic of gentle care, the team puts on teddy-bear hand puppets to apply special blends of products which nourish complexions with natural ingredients and are customized for each client's skincare needs.

Has anyone got any experience building a hackintosh?
I much prefer building my own computer and I really need to upgrade my rig.
Seeing as it's going to be upgraded I was thinking of just making a hackintosh and get the best of both worlds with mac and windows
Obviously it means a lot easier upgrading with new SSDs and RAM and works out quite a lot cheaper for an epic build
Ninja edit. I'll be running on 1×29" monitor and 2×21.5" monitors so choosing a IMac would be a big reduction on screen size
Just get a Mac Pro it will do you fine.
check it out.http://www.apple.com/ca/mac-pro/
Cheers Lester
Dont get a mac pro. I like apple products and mostly they are well worth the premium price, but the mac pro is just a ripoff in a fancy case.
If you are interested in building a hackintosh http://www.tonymacx86.com/home.php is a good starting point. Ofc at your own risk and liability.
mafloral said
Just get a Mac Pro it will do you fine.
check it out.http://www.apple.com/ca/mac-pro/ Cheers Lester
I really don't like the look of the new mac pro, and I'd much prefer to spend £1,000 on something that's "worth" £4,000
Mac Pro vs Hackpro
- Price – £2,499 vs £1,693.97
- Processor – 3.7GHz 4 Core vs 3.8GHz 6 Core
- RAM – 12GB vs 32GB
- Usbs – 4 USB3 vs 6 USB3 & 5 USB2
- Storage – 256gb vs 3×128gb
Just seems like a massive no brainer, seeing as I can add another 32GB of Ram, or more graphics cards or change the processor etc
You'll need to do some serious research into working hardware first. A few years ago I turned an Acer netbook into a working mackintosh. It was great, until I realised there was absolutely no way to integrate the Wi-Fi chip with OSX.
Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VKON0S/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tonymacx86com-20 In US only
As Tommus said above building a hackintosh requires alot of preparation into the hardware you will be choosing, look around for drivers etc. (alot will be 3rd party) Also be prepared for one day something to just not work after a update (or sometimes randomly).
I built one a few years back just to have a go. It latest a few days until i started having driver issues of which i could never find a updated version and gave up.
You have to think of a hackintosh as a project in it's own right. There will be alot of stress and headaches along the road but if you get it all right then i'm sure it would be awesome.
I turned a fairly decent HP Envy 14 into a Hackintosh around two years ago (it did require quite a bit of trial and error as others have mentioned above). I had no problems with the drivers and everything from CPU to GPU to WiFi was fully compatible.
I bought a lesser spec'ed Macbook Pro 15 a year later.
The difference was IMMENSE.
Moral of the story: DO NOT expect the hackintosh machines (esp. the laptops) to even come close to the experience of Apple machines irrespective of whether or not the drivers for your hardware are available. The premium price is worth it, trust me.
I personally never build one myself but this guide is told to be the "bible of Hackintosh"http://lifehacker.com/the-always-up-to-date-guide-to-building-a-hackintosh-o-5841604

Fixes For Distracted Driving Remain Unclear

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Bans are not working in many instances proving you can't fix stupid
Governments at both the state and federal level are working to find some way to
reduce distracted driving
in the United States. Automakers and mobile phone makers are also joining in the fray to help reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers being distracted while texting, e-mailing, and talking on the phone while driving.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a survey last week that shows how problematic distracted driving is. The survey shows that distracted driving is especially pronounced among younger drivers with 58% of high school seniors admitting to having texted or e-mailed while driving the previous month. According to the survey, 43% of high school juniors acknowledged having texted or e-mailed while driving. Those numbers are despite the fact that 39 states ban texting and driving for all age groups and five more states ban texting and driving for teen drivers.
The fact of the matter is there is no absolute cure for distracted driving despite technology. Many apps that promise to eliminate the ability to text or make calls while driving have limitations that make them unusable in some circumstances. One circumstance is that these applications can't tell if the user is a passenger or driver in the car. Since the app can't differentiate between a passenger in the driver, they're easy to override if the driver decides to text or make phone calls.
A potential solution for this problem are similar products offered by companies called ZoomSafer and CellControl. These companies offer apps that put the driver's phone into driving mode blocking texting and e-mail using a device that plugs into the engine diagnostic port or listens for a while the signal from the cars integrated electronic system. The systems are able to differentiate between a person driving in the car and the person who is riding the bus where they can text while moving. The downside is that the systems are expensive with one company charging $130 for the device that admits the tone the phone listens for to block texting.
While parents of young drivers and drivers themselves may be looking apps to help curb distracted driving, the federal government is looking to law enforcement. The Transportation Department awarded $2.4 million to Delaware and California to operate pilot projects combining more police enforcement of bans along with publicity campaigns against distracted driving. Reducing accidents caused by distracted driving is one of the reasons some auto manufacturers and search giant Google are pushing for automated vehicles. An automated vehicle in some instances is able to drive itself, taking the driver out of the equation.
"If you are really going to look to the future, you are going to have to ask yourself: Is Google right? Should we have driverless cars?" said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Automotive Safety, a consumer group. "The computer driven car with a GPS system is going to make less mistakes than a human being. The question is, is society ready for it?"
The Detroit News
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

Besides the five main mural sites that are undergoing transformation this summer as part of the Tacoma Murals Project, there is one additional smaller-scale mural project you will want to keep an eye on. Cloverdale Park Neighbors submitted an application to have a series of cement Eco-Blocks painted on the East Side. Four artists – Janice Lee Warren, Natalie Oswald, Yvette Simone and Kate Cendejas – volunteered to take on these challenging sites.
In May, the artists met with members of the community to talk about the mural. At that meeting themes began to surface including the diverse multi-cultural make up of the neighborhood, the desire to engage and inspire youth and the hope of conveying ideas such as peace, growth, achievement and leadership.
Oswald, Simone and Cendejas are teaming up to affect 11 Eco-Blocks at East 56th and Pipeline streets and four Eco-Blocks at East 58th and East 'Q' streets. Their proposal includes a puzzle-piece pattern merged with imagery depicting the social activities of area residents. Encouraging and inspirational words will be interspersed throughout the design, which will be painted in colors that pull from the track at the adjacent First Creek Middle School.
Warren will be painting five Eco-Blocks at East 57th and East 'S' streets. Her proposal revolves around "gift wrapped" blocks, painted with patterns inspired by cloth designs from around the world.
On June 27, the artists presented their mural proposals to the Cloverdale Park Neighbors group. Both proposals were embraced with enthusiasm. The neighbors have prepared the sites, trimmed away overgrowth, pressure washed the blocks and primed. Next step – painting!

House Speaker John Boehner says things have gotten a little "frosty" with President Obama in recent weeks, but he still hopes their parties can work together as Congress prepares to confront the federal debt problem.
"The president and I have a pretty good relationship," Boehner said on ABC's This Week With Christiane Amanpour. "You know, it's been little frosty here the last few weeks. But we've got a pretty good relationship."
Boehner spoke less than a month before the special congressional "supercommittee'' is scheduled to make recommendations of how to tackle the federal debt that is approaching $15 trillion.
Congress -- and the White House -- are scheduled to pass a debt reduction bill by the end of the year, or face the prospect of automatic budget cuts under a deal struck in the summer by Obama and Republican lawmakers.
"I've told the president, you know, I'm the most straight-up, transparent person in this town, that I would never mislead him," Boehner told Amanpour. "My word is my bond. Democrats and Republicans here in Washington understand that."
Boehner added:
"And so we've got a pretty good relationship. Doesn't mean that we always agree. But the American people expect -- even though we have very different ideas -- the American people want us to look for common ground and then act on it.
So far, we've been able to do that. We've taken some steps in the right direction here over the last couple of months. We've got a lot more steps to take together."
Also last summer, Boehner and Obama tried to work out a "grand bargain" on the federal debt that would have included tax increases as well as budget cuts; the two also played a now-famous round of golf, but they were unable to strike a deal.
"If it was easy, the president and I could have solved it," Boehner said. "If it was easy, Congresses over the last two decades would have solved it. It's hard."

Port Vale 2-1 Stoke
Marc Bridge-Wilkinson was the hero of Vale Park as he netted a 105th-minute penalty to see off Potteries neighbours Stoke in the LDV Vans Trophy.
Vale booked a meeting with Lincoln in a two-leg Northern Final after Bridge-Wilkinson fired a low shot inside Birkir Kristinsson's right-hand post.
The spot-kick followed a handball by Nicky Mohan.
Vale had taken a deserved lead in the 64th minute when Michael Cummins drove through a crowded penalty area from an Alex Smith cross.
But Stoke forced extra-time when Mohan crashed home a left-wing cross from Wayne Thomas with just three minutes of normal time remaining.
Port Vale: Goodlad, Cummins, Walsh, Carragher, Burton, Smith, Brammer, Brisco, Bridge-Wilkinson, Brooker, Naylor. Subs: Delaney, Widdrington, Burns, Viljanen, Eyre.
Stoke: Kristinsson, Petty, Thomas, Mohan, Kippe, Clarke, Risom, Kavanagh, Thordarson, Thorne, Goodfellow. Subs: Gunnarsson, Gudjonsson, Muggleton, Neal, Cooke.
Referee: M Messias (York)

Design and Implementation of E-1 Stream Analyzer for CCSS7 Protocol
Khan, Ahmadyar, Ahmad, Mansoor, Azhar, Ali, & Khan, Omer A. (2003) Design and Implementation of E-1 Stream Analyzer for CCSS7 Protocol. In 7th International IEEE INMIC Conference, 08-12-2003, Islamabad, Pakistan.
|PDF (375kB)
E-1(PCM -30) Stream is a European Telecommunication standard for communication of data/voice channels in a digital network. This paper will deal with the design and implementation of a transparent stream analyzer, capable of handling (up to 2 Mbps) E-1 stream and analyzing 30 voice /data channels using an out-of-band Common Channel Signaling System number 7(CCSS7) [1] protocol .The analyzer is capable of generating an E-1 stream and thus can be used for generation, monitoring and blocking of channels. The analyzer can be used to test any E-1 link. As our analyzer performs the analysis functions in the software it is very flexible and can perform many additional features such as algorithms and protocols testing and analysis.

In an echo of Bob Geldof's 1984 campaign to Feed the World, the singer talked about his experiences in Africa and warned Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, with whom he shared a platform, that delivering justice for Africa would cost money.
Delegates waited for over an hour to hear his speech, enduring the strictest security checks yet ("Do you have any pockets? What's in them?"). In return, they heard a mostly subdued, heartfelt, self-deprecating appeal from the U2 star.
"You may now kneel," he told the hall after they gave him a standing ovation, for a speech which took up this week's rallying call to the party's grassroots: We've had our differences, let's unite for the sake of a greater good.
He made no bones about his opposition to the war. Bono's disdain for the Bush administration was obvious, even if the US was seldom mentioned by name: "Surely it's cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than it is to defend yourself against them. Can I just say that again?"
Sceptics may wince at his undisguised admiration for the prime minister and, especially, his chancellor: "They are kind of the John [Lennon] and Paul [McCartney] of the global development stage, in my opinion." But Bono had a riposte: drop the cynicism, let's work for the important stuff.
"If Britain can't turn its values into action against extreme, stupid poverty ... then the critics tomorrow will be right: I am Tony Blair's apologist."
There was bad language ("horseshit" in the draft of the speech became "bollocks" on the podium) and unsparing attacks on European Union agricultural subsidies, the World Trade Organisation, the World Bank and the EU: "Onerous trade burdens, duplicitous trade rules, no wonder people are pissed off with us."
The conference loved it. It may not come up on the doorsteps come next May, but it did push Africa back towards the top of Tony Blair's agenda, which is exactly where he wants it.

What's hot: Gusty winds and frigid water temperatures associated with each passing cold front have taken their toll. Between fronts, there are some opportunities. Silver trout are a winter staple and less cold-water conscious than most. On a trip in 55-degree water we caught more than 200 feisty silvers just outside the swim buoys on Redington Beach.
Allow a couple days of easterly winds to clear the nearshore water for best results. Increasing numbers of sheepshead are showing up. Being able to fish them in the protected waters of the bays and canals makes them among the best bets. Anglers out of Mastry's Bait and Tackle reported a good number of pompano and permit showed up over the weekend. Area passes, including Bunces and Pass-a-Grille, often hold the best numbers.
Offshore: With red snapper season closed and gag grouper closed through March, offshore trips have largely been limited to amberjack in 60-plus feet and mangrove snapper a bit closer in.
Great catches: The Southern Kingfish Association's first tournament of the season kicked off in Key West with some impressive action. Five smokers more than 50 pounds were landed, including the winning 55.35-pounder. Several area teams made the leaderboard, including St. Petersburg's Brian Hasson, whose team won the 23-foot-and-under division with a 46.90-pounder.
Jay Mastry charters Jaybird out of St. Petersburg and can be reached at (727) 321-2142.

Here's another product announcement I just don't get. Hulu has introduced a desktop application to act as a window to its service. They say it improves "lean-back" viewing. Can I get an eye-roll over here?
So what does Hulu Desktop give you that accessing Hulu through a web browser doesn't? The ability to use your computer's remote. Because they think it is somehow easier for me to dig around to find that remote I've never, ever used than it is to reach out and grab my mouse?
I'm one of those people who likes Hulu in theory, but in practice, I spend 10+ hours a day sitting in front of a computer working. When I'm ready to relax and watch a television show, I head for the couch, away from emails and IMs and Tweets. If Hulu gave me a way to easily watch their service from my couch, I'd be thrilled. I understand that some small percentage of the population has a PC connected to their TV, and for them this new desktop app is probably welcome. Ditto dorm-dwelling college students who forgo a TV for their laptop screen and probably do watch it from across the room.
But for most (or at least, more) of us, what would make Hulu really wonderful is an easy way to get the service on our Tivo, Roku, Xbox, PS3, net-enabled Blu-ray player or whatever other device we have in the living room, ready to pipe content to the big-screen TV. Hulu can't, or won't, give that to us, and they block other solutions such as Boxee. This flaw in their strategy has to be holding them back. I find it ironic that I see ads for Hulu on TV, but can't watch Hulu there.
Hulu Desktop is one of several offerings to come out of the new Hulu Labs site that was also just launched. Accompanying Desktop was an interesting Video Panel Designer (to help you create a customized Hulu widget for your website) as well a new Recommendations system, and Time-Based Browsing (allowing you to find content based on original air date).
Here's a video introducing the Hulu Desktop. Put it on my TV, Hulu, and I'll happily use it!

Money 101: Do I Really Have To Give So-And-So A Gift?
You've probably made your shopping list and checked it three or four times by now this holiday season. Some of the people on there are no-brainers; you know you have to buy your mom a gift. But after you put the obvious folks on there and move further down the list, you always get the point where you can't help but think, "Do I really have to buy them something?" Even if you grudgingly accept that yes, you really need to leave that person on your "nice" list, there are ways to show them holiday love without blowing your budget. Gifting expert and New York Times best-selling author Robyn Spizman, who has partnered with Office Depot to serve as a Smart Gifting Expert, offered these tips for tackling those obligatory gifts your list with your holiday spirit – and budget – intact.
Do something kind. There are people on your list who just make your life better, but you don't have to rack up the credit card bills to thank them. "Start a new tradition where you exchange a book, or take each other to lunch," Spizman suggests as cheaper but thoughtful gift alternatives. "Consider homemade gifts such as a family favorite recipe for cookies, handmade ornaments or a thoughtful holiday "thank you" card expressing how you value that individual."
Don't treat Christmas like a popularity contest. Whether you're trying to decide who to leave on your shopping list or how much to spend on them, remember that you don't need to buy their love. "Holiday gifting is not a popularity contest," Spizman cautions. Even if you're shopping for the employees who make you look good, now's not the time to play favorites. "Use other opportunities throughout the year to recognize the individual achievements." Even outside the workplace, ask yourself who really makes your life better throughout the year – and we aren't talking about the FedEx guy who makes you happy Santa can't read your dirty little mind. "Make a list of the people that have made an impact on your life. Maybe you have a great personal trainer, landlord, or assistant. These folks should definitely be remembered during the holiday season," says Spizman.
Don't try to buy favor at work. Buying your boss (or her boss) a stellar gift won't get you a promotion – it will only make both of you feel awkward and make you look like the office kiss-ass. This doesn't mean you can't do something nice for the guy or gal in charge of your daily to-do list, it just means you need to keep it appropriate. "Aim to cap your gift giving off at your most direct boss. Your boss is most likely someone you communicate with on a daily basis. Listen to their stories; is there a gift that can make their commute better or save them time?" I hear Amelia has a thing for J. Crew.
And if you're the boss? Your employees will appreciate a holiday gesture, but keep it equitable for everyone who reports to you. "A gift is always nice, but it doesn't have to come at a big expense," says Spizman. "Think about giving them something that might make their work day better, like small speakers for their desk, or host a pizza party or bagel breakfast."
Remember that it really is the thought that counts. Just because you feel like you need to do something for your hairdresser doesn't mean that it has to come with a hefty gift tag. "Even the smallest and most affordable gifts can be transformed into something fabulous with a little creativity and thoughtfulness," Spizman says. "Add your personal style and creative flair. Sometimes the littlest gifts are the biggest hits if you add something that makes a statement and shares your appreciation!"
Keep small gift cards ready to go. It never fails that you knock someone off your shopping list and then they knock on your door with a wrapped gift in hand. "Think about having some gift cards on hand. A $10 gift card is a great gift that won't break the bank." And with a stack of cards to the coffee shop in your desk, you can slip one into a card before the recipient ever knows you forgot about them.

I've generally found > that the default CFQ scheduler (default) is terrible for file servers. Agreed. The scheduler may not be the cause of his issue, but switching to deadline or noop should certainly help overall I/O a bit. I'm no fan of CFQ either. I've been using deadline for quite a while and it seems to be good for local single disk and JBOD, as well as for Linux software RAID to local disks. Deadline and noop are both good choices if using a good intelligent PCI RAID controller, or if doing I/O over a FC/iSCSI HBA to a SAN controller; in fact noop probably shouldn't be used with anything but intelligent I/O controllers. My informal testing some time ago revealed that deadline will pick up some of the performance slack if you're unable to use NCQ due to a crappy SATA chipset/HBA and/or drive firmware (or both). Testing also showed that it basically ties noop when used with Qlogic 4Gb FC HBAs and IBM and Nexsan SAN array controllers. Deadline just seems to work pretty well with anything, picking up slack when lacking intelligent I/O hardware, and not really getting in the way when you have it. ** Testing will reveal which is better for a given server/storage and application mix. Such testing is why I only include deadline in my custom kernels (that and the fact I like to keep my kernels tight, as small as possible--dropping CFQ and noop simply cuts a little more dead weight from the binary). -- Stan

My DD is 33 months (so getting pretty darn close to 3) and absolutely refuses to sit on the potty. We have had the potty around for over a year and she is gone from very interested, to not interested, to absolutely hating it. We don't force her to sit it on it. We say it is time to sit on the potty and she says NO! or starts screaming or running away and then we say OK and move on. She hates having accidents but this just causes her to hold it as long as she possibly can and then pee an incredible amount all over the floor causing even more anxiety. She has never once actually got any pee in the potty. We have tried diaper free weeks in August with no success and tried again recently but we feel kind of stuck because we can't even convince her to sit on the potty let alone go in it. Any suggestions?
I'm sorry. Only advice is what my grandmother told me, "Put them on backwards" I've noticed a huge difference in DS1 when I did this. He seems to be much more stable and not afraid of falling in. Maybe that has something to do with her fear?
(Oh and this is in addition to potty seat)
DS 10/09 DS 2/17/11 Blessing #3 sometime 2/13
Have you tried sitting her on the toilet? Is she more open to that?
How about putting her in the bathtub to pee? If she's willing to tell you she needs to go, that is.
Or offer her a small bucket or bowl she can squat over, if that's more accessible to her.
If she doesn't like / is afraid of the potty, there are other options. It doesn't have to be something marketed as a potty, it just has to be a way of catching the pee.
Cristeen ~ Always remembering our warrior ~ Our is 3, how'd that happen?!?!
We welcomed another warrior in May 2012!!
2012 Decluttering challenge - 575/2012
These days, she gets upset if I even ask her if her diaper is poopy.
Sorry I don't have any helpful suggestions, but I thought you might like to know you aren't alone.
My older one as like this. Personally, I would disengage and put her back in diapers. This is probably more about control than the potty. If you give her control, she will probably stop liking the feeling of wet diapers and use the potty before too long.
Kids have absolute control about intake (eating), output (potty), and sleep, and they know it. If they're going to have a power struggle in those areas, the more you can disengage, the better off you are, because you can't win - you can't force someone to eat, poop, or sleep.
Option 2, which still gives her the power, is to put her in underwear, keep the clean underwear in a drawer in the bathroom, put a hamper in the bathroom, and tell her that she can use the potty or change her wet/dirty underpants herself, and take care of the mess.
I would personally go with #1, but my mom tells me she went with #2 with me, and I was using the potty within a day or two. (The #1 and #2 are not intended to be puns. LOL)
My daughter was like this, and bribery worked. First, I just started working on getting her to sit on the potty at all. Then it was 1 sticker for sitting on the potty, 2 stickers for potty with no pants, 3 stickers for potty with no diaper. She would actually consider and choose what she was comfortable with, plus with stickers she got to decorate her potty. After a few weeks of this she was pretty comfortable sitting on the potty frequently and we started working on getting her to use it.
Potty training has been a long drawn out process for us, unfortunately, but we haven't had any giant regressions and it hasn't been traumatic. Eventually the rewards phase out and she doesn't need them anymore.

Rihanna & Chris Brown: Recording Studio Sweethearts
They've been on a romantic roller coaster as of late, and it seems all the tension has helped Rihanna and Chris Brown with their creativity.
The "Love the Way You Lie" babe and her on/off boyfriend showed up at a West Hollywood recording studio last night, though they made separate exits to avoid being photographed together.
Speaking of music, Ri-Ri recently sang Eminem's praises when discussing her brand new song "Numb."
She gushed, "I just love working with Eminem. He's just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics - he's a true poet, and I enjoy that about him."
"I needed someone who really understands the perspective and the metaphor of the in the song of going numb and being numb to everything around and to say, '(expletive) you.' Eminem is definitely the perfect guy for that."

Dennis Hissink : December 16th 2004 - 14:33 CET
CeBIT 2005 demonstrates stability at high level
CeBIT has solidified its position as the world's leading event for IT and telecommunications: with 6,115 exhibitors from 65 different countries (2004: 6,109 exhibitors from 64 countries) and orders for floor space currently running at 306,000 square meters (312,539), CeBIT 2005 - running from 10 to 16 March - will easily outdistance its closest rivals on the exhibition circuit. As one of the economy's key sectors, the international ICT industry is embracing its penultimate flagship fair. According to BITKOM, the Berlin-based Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, a total of almost EUR 2.2 billion will be spent on IT and telecommunications in 2004, and the curve continues to point upward.
CeBIT's strong suit consists of its broad range of offerings, highly international appeal and high impact on the business world. It is the only ICT trade show to boast a complete range of products and solutions for today's and tomorrow's digital world, offering the ideal prerequisites for demonstrating today's changed market structures, such as redefined sales channels in the wake of the convergence between information technology and consumer electronics. No other trade fair in the world sheds so much light on the connection between digital photography and telecommunications or displays this complex so thoroughly. And no other trade fair offers such a complete overview of solutions for creating and optimizing IT-supported business processes.
Second-highest rate of international participation ever, with record figures from Asia
CeBIT's international appeal is also unique: more than 3,000 exhibitors from outside Germany have already signed up for the upcoming event. Not counting the record year of 2001, this is the second-highest level of foreign participation at CeBIT ever. For the first time, around 1,570 companies have registered directly from Asia-Pacific, reserving net floor space of more than 38,000 square meters. These figures top any comparable Asian ICT trade show by a big margin. Once again, Taiwan is the leading exhibitor nation apart from host country Germany, with 774 participating enterprises. China will be represented with 248 firms, followed by the United States with 203, South Korea with 189, Great Britain with 178 and Hong Kong with 154 exhibitors.
A must for top-level decision-makers from business and government
CeBIT is an absolute must for top-level decision-makers from business and government. Over 30 percent of all trade visitors at the last event came from top management echelons. Some 56 percent were responsible for procurement decisions. And - perhaps even more important - around half of attending professionals came to the show armed with concrete investment plans. Not only that, but all of the relevant dealers and distributors were also represented. The importance of CeBIT to the economies of participating nations can be seen in the presence of numerous delegations as well as high-ranking representatives from government and business. More than 100 delegations from every continent are expected at CeBIT 2005.
Many top mangers will be arriving a day earlier to attend the 'Technology Industry Summit at CeBIT - Driving growth in the ICT sector," an event which features key players in the global ICT industry. And the opening ceremony of CeBIT 2005 will also be honored by some highly prominent guests, with German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, SAP CEO Henning Kagermann and BITKOM President Willi Berchtold all featured speakers at the event.
SMEs and retailers as key visitor target groups
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and retailers are considered among the key target groups at CeBIT. For this reason, Hannover based Deutsche Messe AG has teamed up with BITKOM to create a greatly expanded range of offerings tailored to the needs of SMEs. The key magnet will be the 'SME Forum" in Hall 6, with an enlarged program and new lecture series at CeBIT 2005. The SME-focused website www.cebit-mittelstand.de is also new. A further important target group consists of retailers in the field of IT, telecommunications, consumer electronics, photography and office equipment. Their main focus will be the 'Planet Reseller" display in Hall 25, where they can find out about the latest trends and derive new facts and information for their sales discussions back home.
Visitors benefit from new thematic layout at CeBIT
CeBIT 2005 will have a more customer-focused approach than ever: applications-oriented, transparent and easy-to-navigate. The focus is not just on individual products, but especially on the different ways of networking them and putting them to work for a variety of application areas. Three main display sectors serve as the foundation of the upcoming CeBIT: 'Business Processes" (i.e. solutions and services for the development and optimization of IT-based business processes), 'Communications" (fixed-line and mobile communication plus networks) and 'Digital Equipment and Systems" (computers, storage technology, digital entertainment and office automation).
Additional display sectors include 'Banking & Finance," featuring technical equipment for banks and complete solutions for the financial services and loan industry; 'future parc," highlighting the latest scientific research findings; and 'Public Sector Parc," showcasing eGovernment solutions for national and local government as well as public-sector institutions.
Topical issues at CeBIT 2005
CeBIT 2005 will put a spotlight on numerous topical issues, including business content and electronic publishing, digital imaging, document management and chip development dynamics. As a new first, there will be a special display on the topic of IT outsourcing. Other trendsetters include the new area of telematics and navigation, Internet telephony, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and home entertainment plus home automation. The field of mobile communications again promises to offer an array of exciting innovations, particularly in the area of UMTS applications, plus the corresponding multimedia cell phones, mobile Internet services and the latest WLAN applications.

Uninsured Women and Children
The percent of uninsured women (15-44 years of age) and children (<19 years) is obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau. Estimates of uninsured women and children by state are reported as a three-year average in order to ensure reliability of rates. Children <19 include all individuals under the age of 19, regardless of whether they are dependents. Data is collected by the Census using the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly survey of about 50,000 households. The sample is selected to represent the civilian non-institutional population. More background can be found at the CPS
