AT&T Wi-Fi Handles More Than 85 Million Total Connections in 2009, More Than Four Times 2008
Nearly Three-Fourths of Wi-Fi Connections in Fourth Quarter Made by Smartphones and Integrated Devices. AT&T Leads Market in Including Wi-Fi at No Charge for Millions of Customers with Key Devices and Services.
Dallas, Texas, January 25, 2010
AT&T's mobile broadband customers are increasingly using the company's Wi-Fi network — the nation's largest — to connect to the Internet for e-mail, searching the Web and downloading music and video. AT&T* today reported that its customers made a record 85.5 million connections to the Internet in 2009 using AT&T's Wi-Fi network, four times the number of Wi-Fi connections made in 2008.
In the fourth quarter 2009, AT&T customers made 35.3 million Wi-Fi connections — up 10 million connections from the third quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter connections also surpassed the number of connections made in the entire first half of 2009.
AT&T, which offers the nation's most advanced mobile broadband experience, expects Wi-Fi usage to continue to surge as more customers utilize Wi-Fi on their smartphones and integrated devices and have Wi-Fi included with their service.
More and more customers are choosing Wi-Fi for its simple, reliable and fast connection and for its convenience. With the rapid rise of Wi-Fi enabled smartphones and integrated devices, connections from these devices now comprise the majority of connections made on AT&T's Wi-Fi network. Smartphones and integrated devices accounted for 72 percent of fourth-quarter connections and 61 percent of the total connections in 2009.
According to industry research firm In-Stat, Wi-Fi is seeing renewed interest and increased usage as more users and businesses discover its benefits. "Hotspot usage is skyrocketing, and our research shows that will only continue as the number of Wi-Fi capable devices and hotspot venues increase," said Frank Dickson, Vice President of Research, Mobile Internet, for In-Stat. "Wi-Fi access has become easier than ever before with carriers like AT&T including it in wireless and broadband plans, with more businesses making Wi-Fi available as an amenity to their employees and customers, and with smartphones and other portable devices making it fast and simple to connect."
AT&T continues to lead its competitors by including Wi-Fi for more than 27 million customers — as of third quarter 2009 — with AT&T High Speed Internet, AT&T U-verseSM High Speed Internet, and qualifying smartphone and 3G LaptopConnect plans. Those customers have convenient access at AT&T's more than 20,000 U.S. hotspots
A recent AT&T survey found that 43 percent of AT&T Wi-Fi users said they accessed an AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spot four or more times in the past 30 days.
"Last year was a landmark year for AT&T Wi-Fi, and it shows in the tremendous response and usage we've seen from our customers and the leading venues we work with," said Angie Wiskocil, senior vice president, AT&T Wi-Fi Services. "The record growth has been driven by our commitment to provide reliable connectivity solutions, the choice and simplicity of convenient locations, an unmatched portfolio of Wi-Fi enabled devices and plans, and strong venue support. We look forward to accelerating that growth even further in 2010 and beyond."
AT&T's Wi-Fi network complements its wired broadband and wireless 3G networks, offering Wi-Fi connectivity in more than 20,000 U.S. hotspots — including retail stores and restaurants from coast-to-coast. A full list of AT&T Wi-Fi locations is available at www.attwifi.com.

One who wants to develop these four should practice them towards beings
first as the promotion of the aspect of welfare—and loving-kindness has the
promotion of the aspect of welfare as its characteristic; and next, on seeing or
hearing or judging
that beings whose welfare has been thus wished for are at
the mercy of suffering, they should be practiced as the promotion of the aspect of
the removal of suffering—and compassion has the promotion of the aspect of
the removal of suffering as its characteristic; and then, on seeing the success of
those whose welfare has been wished for and the removal of whose suffering
has been wished for, they should be practiced as being glad—and gladness has
the act of gladdening as its characteristic; but after that there is nothing to be
done and so they should be practiced as the neutral aspect, in other words, the
state of an onlooker—and equanimity has the promotion of the aspect of
neutrality as its characteristic; therefore, since their respective aims are the aspect
of welfare, etc., their order should be understood to correspond, with lovingkindness stated first, then compassion, gladness and equanimity
Though they have a single characteristic in having a measureless scope,
yet the first three are only of triple and quadruple jhána [respectively in the
fourfold and fivefold reckonings]. Why? Because they are not dissociated from joy. But why are their aims not dissociated from joy? Because they are the escape
from ill will, etc., which are originated by grief. But the last one belongs only to
the remaining single jhána. Why? Because it is associated with equanimous
feeling. For the divine abiding of equanimity that occurs in the aspect of neutrality
towards beings does not exist apart from equanimous [that is to say, neitherpainful-nor-pleasant] feeling
pegembara wrote:Another simile to show the gradual development in sequence:
A mother is not only born with the child she brings forth, she
also grows up with the child she brings up. Her growth is in terms of
the other three Divine Abidings or Brahma Vihara- compassion,
sympathetic joy and equanimity. In bringing up her child, some-
times a mother has to be stern and tactful. Her soft tender love
matures into a compassionate sternness, when the child is pass-
ing through the unruly boyhood and reckless adolescence. But
that hardness of her heart melts at the correct moment, like
The child has now reached manhood. He can stand on his
own feet with enviable self-confidence. The mother also grows
up with sympathetic joy enjoying the fruits of her labours. Her com-
placence, like curd, is serene and has nothing meddlesome about it.
The bringing forth and the bringing-up is over. The time comes
now to let go - of the attachments and involvements regarding
the child. But for that separation too, the mother, now mature
in her experience, is fully prepared with equanimity. Like a pot
of ghee, she is not easily upset.

Modus.Ponens wrote:In this sutta the Buddha advises that the practice of metta and other brahmaviharas should be taken from the first to the fourth jhana. Specificaly, it recomends practicing equanimity from the first to the 4th jhana, proving that the Visudhimagga is wrong.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
Then you should train yourself thus: 'Good-will (1), as my awareness-release, will be developed, pursued, [...]
"When this concentration is thus developed, thus well-developed by you, you should then train yourself thus: 'Compassion (2), as my awareness-release... Appreciation (3), as my awareness-release... Equanimity (4), as my awareness-release, will be developed, pursued, handed the reins and taken as a basis, given a grounding, steadied, consolidated, & well-undertaken.'
Furthermore, In the most systematised way the Buddha taught the entire path, which is found in the Mahaparinibbana sutta, of the 37 things to develop to attain enlightenment, there is only direct mentioning of one brahmavihara: equanimity. Aditionaly, development of each brahmavihara leads to rebirth among the brahmas, and equanimity leads to rebirth among the highest brahmas.
I don't think the Brahma Viharas are intended to be practiced in order any more than the Eightfold Path is. I think the idea is to develop all parts simultaneously, as much as one is able. But I've been wrong before.
Cittasanto wrote:One possibility is that we need to gladden the mind before balancing it.
but the reverse could be true also.
Alobha wrote:That may be right for a less-formal training of the Brahma Viharas, where it depends much on the situation what is most skillful to develop. However, it stands in contrast with the non-random order given like in the Sankhitta Sutta (and a few other Suttas) and the Visuddhi Magga.
Alobha wrote:Cittasanto wrote:One possibility is that we need to gladden the mind before balancing it.

Believe it or not, that was helpful.
I'm sure yet, but I'll investigate further. It is possible that Metta, Karuna and Mudita prepare the mind for Upekkha. So Upekkha would be the most important, but the others need to be trained before that. Considering how easy it is to drop from equanimity into indifference, taking out all anger with Metta, Karuna and Mudita before going for Upekkha would be a very skillful approach. Hm.

David Sokol, a potential successor to Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, has abruptly resigned, according to a company announcement.
The resignation comes as Mr Sokol's investment in Lubrizol, a specialty chemicals company that Berkshire recently announced it would acquire, faces some scrutiny.
"Dave brought the idea for purchasing Lubrizol to me on either January 14 or 15. Initially, I was unimpressed, but after his report of a January 25 talk with its CEO, James Hambrick, I quickly warmed to the idea," Mr Buffett said. "Though the offer to purchase was entirely my decision, supported by Berkshire's board on March 13, it would not have occurred without Dave`s early efforts.
Mr Sokol purchased 2300 shares of Lubrizol on December 14, which he then sold on December 21, according to Mr Buffett.
"Neither Dave nor I feel his Lubrizol purchases were in any way unlawful. He has told me that they were not a factor in his decision to resign."
Mr Buffett said in the company announcement that he did not ask for Mr Sokol's resignation, which "came as a surprise to me". Mr Sokol had twice before mentioned resigning but Mr Buffett was able to persuade him to say, he said.
"Dave's contributions have been extraordinary," Mr Buffett said.
Mr Buffett said he had spoken with Mr Sokol the previous day and "received no hint of his intention to resign. This time, however, I did not attempt to talk him out of his decision and accepted his resignation."
The announcement included an excerpt from Mr Sokol's resignation letter.
"As I have mentioned to you in the past, it is my goal to utilise the time remaining in my career to invest my family's resources in such a way as to create enduring equity value and hopefully an enterprise which will provide opportunity for my descendents and funding for my philanthropic interests," he said. "I have no more detailed plan than this because my obligations from Berkshire Hathaway have been my first and only business priority."
Mr Sokol helps run several Berkshire subsidiaries, including MidAmerican and NetJets, and is seen as Mr Buffett's right hand man.
Mr Buffett has said he has no plans to step aside anytime soon. Still, the succession race at Berkshire has been among the most watched in America. Mr Buffett, 80, has previously said he will likely split his job in two – into separate CEO and investing functions.
Mr Buffett has spent years getting the right people in place. In late November Berkshire tapped Todd Combs, manager of a small hedge fund from Connecticut, to potentially succeed him as chief investment officer. Mr Combs was tapped to oversee a sizable portfolio which would likely grow as he got comfortable with it and Berkshire's operations.

Trent Gilbert drove in five runs Friday night as the Arizona Wildcats battered Pac-12 baseball foe Utah 15-4 at Hi Corbett Field.
The victory was the second in two nights for the UA (17-11, 2-6 Pac-12) over the Utes (12-12, 2-6).
The Cats led 1-0 until the bottom of the third inning when Gilbert's two-run double and Riley Moore's two-run triple highlighted a five-run outburst.
Arizona broke the game open in the bottom of the fifth with seven runs. Gilbert drove in three with a bases-loaded triple. The sophomore second baseman also scored three runs.
The Wildcat hitters were clutch all night. Seven of Arizona's runs scored with two out.
Freshman Tyger Talley, who worked two perfect innings after starter James Farris was lifted with no one out in the fifth, got the win. Nick Cunningham allowed one run over the final three innings for the save.
The Wildcats, swept in their first two Pac-12 series this spring, go for a sweep of their own today. Lefthander Tyler Crawford will get the start in the noon game at Hi Corbett.

Liberty Bible Church of the Nazarene Tour to Israel & Jordan
February 4–15, 2008 • Hosted by Pastor Larry Rounsley
Includes airfare, fuel surcharges, great hotels, transfers, most meals, guided touring and more!
Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Monday, February 4: Depart USA. Departure on the first leg of our overnight trip to Israel. Aloft, we will have dinner, a little sleep time, breakfast, and the opportunity to praise the Lord for His great creation from the vantage point of 35,000 feet!
Day 2: Tuesday, February 5: Arrive Tel Aviv, Israel. We arrive at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, modern center of Israel, on the Mediterranean Sea. After meeting our guide, we'll pass through customs and then board our touring coach to head to our hotel. Check in at our hotel, enjoy our first dinner in Israel and settle in for a well-deserved night's sleep after our long journey. Sheraton Moriah Dinner provided.
Day 3: Wednesday, February 6: Ceaserea, Mt.Carmel, Megiddo. Our amazing tour of Israel begins after breakfast this morning as we drive north along the Mediterranean Sea to Caesarea, Roman capital of Judea. Here we view the beautifully restored theater, and the ruins of the ancient town, its harbor and aqueduct. We travel inland to Megiddo (Biblical Armageddon), then continue to Muhraka on Mt. Carmel, where Elijah defeated the priests of Ba'al. On to Nazareth, boyhood home of Jesus. Modern Nazareth is a busy city with a population of approximately 70,000 people. For nearly 2,000 years hundreds of thousands of pilgrims have found their way to the setting which shaped the Man who changed the course of history. Gai Beach Hotel Breakfast & dinner provided..
Day 5: Friday, February 8: Jordan Valley, Beit She'an, Jerusalem. This morning drive south via the Jordan Valley to Beit She'an, where we'll discover some of Israel's most spectacular archaeological finds. The site features an extraordinary excavation of an ancient Roman city, and Jericho, the oldest known city in the world. Continue to Jerusalem, where we begin our exploration at the Mt. of Olives which has always been an important feature in Jerusalem's landscape. From before the time of Jesus until today, it has served as one of the main burial grounds for the city, and it is on its eastern slope, near Bethany, where Scripture indicates Jesus ascended to heaven.
We'll walk down into the Kidron Valley past Dominus Flevit (where Jesus wept over Jerusalem) where we enjoy a beautiful view of the city through its distinct chapel window, to the Church of All Nations and the Garden of Gethsemane, whose ancient olive trees have been estimated by some scholars to be two thousand years old. Dan Panorama Hotel Breakfast & dinner provided.
Day 6: Saturday, February 9: Shiloh, Bet Guvrin, David's City. This morning we'll drive to Herodion, one of the most fascinating structures from the ancient world, where Herod built a great fortress and palace between 22 and 15 B.C.E. We continue to Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant was placed after Joshua conquered the Land of Israel. Located in the area settled by the tribes of Benjamin and Ephraim, Shiloh became known as the "place of the Lord's Tabernacle " and where the Tabernacle stayed for 369 years. It was to Shiloh that the Israelites brought their sacrifices. It was at Shiloh that the priest Eli promised that Hannah would bear a son. That son, Samuel, became a prophet who dedicated himself to the Lord and served the Tabernacle in Shiloh.
Our day continues with a special opportunity to participate in an archeological dig at Ben Guvrin, ancestral home of King Herod. We'll sift through the sand, examine the pottery, tour the National Park, and crawl through unexcavated cave systems at this fascinating site. Later we'll visit the City of David excavations, including Hezekiah's Tunnel. Built under the reign of Hezekiah to bring transport water across the city, this tunnel is often considered one of the greatest feats of water-engineering from the pre-Classical period. Breakfast & dinner provided.
Day 7: Sunday, February 10: Jerusalem. Today our sightseeing in the Old City of Jerusalem begins, as we explore further our Christian heritage and its Jewish roots. We begin at the Davidson Center, where we'll enjoy a rare opportunity to explore and study the most significant archaeological site in Israel by means of exhibitions and illustrations describing Jerusalem's main episodes. We continue to the Western (Wailing) Wall, the most sacred spot in Jewish religious and national life. We'll explore the area around the Wall including the Western Wall Tunnels and the Temple Mount with the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque.
We'll also explore the Southern Wall excavations including the western flight of stairs leading to the main entrances of the Temple Mount. Excavators uncovered the easternmost part of this staircase with its alternating long and short steps. Some suggest that the fifteen long steps may have been one of the locations where pilgrims sang the fifteen Psalms of Ascent (120-34) as they went up to worship.
Day 8: Monday, February 11: Jerusalem, Qumran & Dead Sea. After breakfast, we'll continue our sightseeing in Jerusalem with a visit to the Temple Mount and the Jerusalem Model. We then say goodbye to Jerusalem as we drive south to Qumran, the famous caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. After a tour of the site, including remains of the palace, the lavish bathhouse and synagogue, we'll continue our drive to Ein Gedi for a view of the beautiful oasis and David's Waterfall before arriving at our hotel at the Dead Sea. Arrive in time for a float in the mineral-filled water before dinner or take advantage of the first-class spa facilities at our Dead Sea hotel. Daniel Hotel Dead Sea Breakfast & dinner provided.
Day 9: Tuesday, February 12: Masada, Timna Valley National Park, Red Sea. Drive south then along the shore of the Dead Sea to Masada. Ascend by cable car and tour the mountain fortress built by Herod, where the Zealots made their last stand against the Romans. Visit the remains of the walls, palaces, water cisterns and mosaic floors. Descend by cable car and continue to nearby Timna Valley National Park, located in the Negev Desert, this national park both natural beauty and archaeological sites, including 6,000-year-old copper mines, prehistoric rock drawings, the ancient Temple of Hathor, and King Solomon's Pillars (red rock pillars).
Meridien Hotel (B,D).

About your tour host Pastor Larry Rounsley
Pastor Larry is the senior pastor at Liberty Bible Church of the Nazarene, where he has served for the last 12 years. He is married to Michelle and has four children. This will be pastor's third time to Israel. His last tour was in 2006 and included over 20 people. Everyone had a great time. It is likely that this year's tour will include some new faces along with some repeats from previous years. Being able to go to Israel is a gift. Without question, it takes some sacrifice and some planning to meet the cost of the trip, but it is well worth the effort. Not only is this trip fun, but it is even more so because it is life-affecting. If I can help answer any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I would count it a great joy to be able to be at your side as you see the land where Jesus lived, ministered, gave up himself, and rose victoriously. Words cannot express all that you will see and experience.

As residents of Findlay brace themselves for another round of potential flooding this weekend, making preparations is critical right now. Todd James of the American Red Cross said by now people know how they are going affected based on how high the river actually gets..
Audio: Todd James
Should the river get to major flood stage, Red Cross volunteers are activated and on standby should emergency shelters need to be opened. When severe weather threatens there may be a tendency to think that forecasters are over reacting or instilling panic, but the intention is to make sure residents and business are prepared..
Audio: Todd James
James said the Red Cross will be there afterwards to help pick up the pieces if you need anything like a cleanup kit or assistance if you're not able to get back into your home or if there has been damage.

Photo Credit {marthastewart.com}I choose to make a flower caddy inspired by this Tin-Can Caddy posted on Martha Stewart's website {here}. While the concept is basically the same, I altered the steps and materials since I plan on using my caddy outdoors. I just adore that this caddy is made from recycled materials and scraps that many can find around your own home, making this an easy project to tackle.
The materials needed for the flower caddy are;
6 Lg 4 inch Diameter Tin Cans {emptied and cleaned}
A Scrap Piece of 1X6 Pressure Treated Deck Floor Board {cut to 9 inches long}
To make the handle I used a 2 1/2 inch Hole Saw Drill Bit. The bit attaches directly to your hand drill and can be found at your local hardware store for under $10.
It cuts a perfect circle, quick and easy, every time! The hole is centered on the board and approximately 3/4 inches from the top edge.
The wood was then sanded with a palm sander to smooth any rough spots and round the edges just a bit. One coat of white spray paint was applied then another round of sanding to achieve a worn distressed look.
To prepare the cans holes were drilled in the bottoms, with a hand drill, to allow for proper water drainage for the plants.
I just love white wood and galvanized metal together and tried to create that 'look' for the caddy. Each can received a light spritz of satin nickel spray paint which seemed to dull the shiny tin just enough. {the can on the left above has been sprayed}
To assemble the caddy, pilot holes were drilled into each can and then screws were screwed in at an angle.
It's now ready for some beautiful blooms.
Since I had all the materials on hand, they only thing I had to purchase was the pack of flowers from our local nursery.
Thank you Martha Stewart for the inspiration!

My vote is the minisimmons. got one last may and its all i rode last summer until hurricane season. really fun to ride. mines a twin, so its way different to ride and put on rail than a small wave shortboard like a dumpster dirver or something, but its fun as hell for the summer. i rode it in all different surf just for the fun of it- knee high up to head high. its much better in the mushier stuff. no steep drops or late takeoffs. but you probably dont have to worry about that too much in the summer
Suddenly they are two-three-five years into it and they still can't really paddle properly, can't take off on a steep wave, still ditch boards on chest high days, never learned to duck dive and have lineup issues because they've never learned the spot rotation/positioning that comes with sitting in a lineup of shorter boards.
I love longboarding by the way, and this is not a knock on it, just an observation on how it affects the learning curve.
I guess to each their own.....I had a WRV 8ft funshape that was sweet 20 years ago.....but yesterday I found this Hobie 7'6" from the 80's.....Attachment 7314......I'll let you know how it goes, but I got a good feeling :cool:
I moved to south Florida a couple years ago from San Diego. I bought a firewire sweet potato for the smaller surf. The board was a great go to for the smaller conditions...super rippable and floats over all the flat sections. I moved back to San Diego six months ago and still use the sweet potato more than any other board in my quiver...up to head high. I have been surfing mostly reef breaks and the potato absolutely kills it! I'm 6'3 and ride a 5'4 sweet potato. The new timbertek baked potato looks insane...I want one so bad but can't justify spending $700 on a board so similar to the one I got!
I have decided not to go with a funshape board or longboard. Im leaning towards to a board like the Coil Megamind or the Lost Couch Potato. The Couch Potato has a more rounded nose is that going to make a bigger difference since theres more foam in the nose?
sell your surfboard and smoke crack, way more fun than surfing and healthy for your body and soul

Consultants are frequently called to help organization leaders identify and solve problems. However, few research reports reveal the holistic nature of the process. This case study helps fill that void with naturalistic inquiry into a process consulting intervention. This action research describes an external consultant's intervention with leaders of a large federal agency over an 18-month period to help conduct and implement a training needs assessment (TNA). A naturalistic inquiry design used multiple methods to gather quantitative and qualitative data through three action cycles. The first cycle describes the TNA process and deliverables answering the organization's questions "What training was required and was being done, for whom, by whom, at what cost?" The second cycle revolves around the research questions "How do the organization's leaders view, value and make use of the TNA?" and "What happens as a result of the consultant/researcher's intervention?" The third cycle answers the question "What are the organizational dynamics that facilitate or inhibit the adoption of planned change?" Research findings were:
1) Organizational leaders valued and used the TNA to reorganize and centralize their training;
2) The intervention provided documentation and recommendations for short and long-term planned changes;
3) Cultural biases cast training as important but a low priority with hierarchical structures complicating centralizing actions.
The case study frames complex change through a systems perspective that combined theories from multiple disciplines. Action learning in the process reflects the paradoxes of learning that are often unrecognized and ususally unreported. The open-ended nature of the inquiry reveals the need for a high tolerance for ambiguity, extensive knowledge, flexibility, networking ability, and trust in the process. Research theories, methodologies, and assumptions were reassessed with some revealing conclusions: action research is not intuitively obvious nor widely recognized in fields of practice reinforcing the need to continuously improve ways to intervene.
Future recommendatios are to: encourage more candid holistic reporting of action research; recognize that traditional research paradigms make action research riskier to pursue and defend; encourage leaders in all fields to continuously develop and use more tools, models, and networks to help improve our future organizations.

What the minister said
Page Tools
Edited statement by the Minister for Defence, Robert Hill:
"Defence has thoroughly reviewed the information available to it and has confirmed the key facts in this issue:
Australia did not interrogate prisoners.
Australia was not involved in guarding prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison or any other Iraqi prison.
Australia was in no way involved in perpetrating the acts of abuse against Iraqi prisoners we have seen in photos published in the media.
I have been asked previously when did the Government become aware of the issue of alleged abuses of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and I have said that from the time of the January media release by the US military and the subsequent CNN report the Government would have been aware of allegations of abuse and that these allegations were being investigated - that is of course when the world at large learned of it.
I have also stated that it was only with the release of the horrific photos in late April of this year that I became aware that abuses had occurred and the extent of those abuses.
... I have stated that Defence became aware of the existence of the February report of the Red Cross relating to detention practices in Iraq in February through ADF legal officers working for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad.
It has subsequently emerged that, some time after November 12, an ADF legal officer, Major O'Kane, working with Coalition Force Headquarters in Baghdad, had access to working papers from Red Cross inspections of two prisons in October. The officer had not been present during the inspections.
Defence has confirmed there is no record of those working papers being passed up through the chain of command back to Australia.
It is important to note that the Red Cross did not deliver either its February report or the earlier October working papers to Australia.
... The work of the Red Cross saw it visit the Abu Ghraib prison twice and the special detention facility at Baghdad International Airport once during October of last year. As a result, two working papers were delivered to the Coalition Forces Headquarters where Major O'Kane was tasked to assist in responding. Officials in Australia were not informed of those working papers at the time. Until recently, Defence believed it did not have access to those working papers.
I have expressed that belief publicly, as has the Prime Minister. It subsequently emerged that while Defence was not officially provided with those papers, Major O'Kane had brought copies of them back in February of this year among other papers from his time in Iraq.
Those papers were provided to the International Policy Division in Defence on May 11 but were not recognised as what was subsequently referred to as the "October Report". I regret that incorrect information was provided to me and, through me, to the Prime Minister.
... In closing I would like to quote from the advice provided to me by the head of the Defence Legal Service on May 28 which stated: "Australian Defence Force personnel, whether dealing with prisoners or detainees, acted at all times consistently with their international obligations, including under the Geneva convention."

A grand forks committee did not close the door on the idea of a casino run by the turtle mountain band. The city's finance committee listened to a pitch by tribal leaders last night who want to open a gaming entertainment complex in grand forks. The casino plan was first proposed back in 2005. councilman doug Christensen noted the city adopted a resolution at that time saying they were interested in working with the tribe -- and that resolution was never rescinded. Tribal chair Richard mccloud says a lot has changed over the years including the mood about gambling.
Council president hal gershman says for the idea to move forward it will need public support.
the full council will talk about the issue next week.

Volvo Ocean Race - Southern Ocean returns in force + Video
by Volvo Ocean Race on 27 Mar 2012
Wet conditions in the Southern Ocean aboard PUMA's Mar Mostro. Amory Ross/Puma Ocean Racing/Volvo Ocean Race©
In the Volvo Ocean Race at 1900 UTC, Groupama and Puma Ocean Racing powered by Berg (Ken Read/USA), the only two teams to have avoided serious damage to their boats so far on Leg 5, were 38.7 nautical miles (nm) apart. Groupama is 223 nm from the eastern ice limit set at 47 degrees south/150 degrees west and once past the waypoint they will be free to dive south again without the worry of colliding with icebergs as they set a course for Cape Horn.
Despite avoiding damage to their boats, both teams have crew on board who are recovering from injury. Phil Harmer from Groupama has a damaged shoulder and could miss the next leg, while on board Puma, Casey Smith has hurt his back and Thomas Johanson has dislocated his shoulder.
As the Southern Ocean returns again in force, Telefónica (Iker Martínez/ESP) in third are now 253.3 nm behind Groupama, nursing damage to the bow serious enough for the crew to slow the boat.
'We're battling on and making sure we don't do any more damage. We could push harder, but we think that could lead to further problems,' said watch leader Neal McDonald earlier today. The team has had two crewmembers in the bow for a week, patching up a repair. McDonald says they will continue as they are and monitor it carefully. 'Time will tell. It looks stable at the moment and, at the pace we are going, we are in good shape,' he said.
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker/GBR) is midway between the western and central ice limits, 1231.2 nm adrift of Groupama 4. The team has not had the easiest of Southern Ocean rides so far and were becalmed when they reached the first of the three ice waypoints.
'It seems surreal that the leaders are now over 1200 nm ahead, but it doesn't faze us,' said skipper Ian Walker. 'Bizarrely, morale is very high on board despite our predicament,' added Walker, who believes Leg 5 could still be all about who makes it to Itajaí in one piece.
Those that are limping, Camper with Emirates Team New Zealand (Chris Nicholson) bound for Puerto Montt in Chile, and Sanya (Mike Sanderson/NZL) heading for Tauranga in New Zealand, are making progress although the Camper team is concerned about a low-pressure system forming in their path. Their aim is to make the repairs to the bow without hauling the boat out of the water in Chile and return to the racetrack as quickly as possible to complete the leg.
Team Sanya announced today that after exhaustive enquiries, the boat will be shipped to re-join the fleet for the in-port race in Miami and the start of Leg 7. The team are due to arrive in Tauranga on Tuesday evening, where they will immediately prepare the boat for shipment to Savannah in the United States. Once the repairs have been completed, the team will sail the boat the 350 nm to Miami, arriving in early May.
For the leaders, it will be a further six or seven days of liquid hell before they are in range of the notorious Cape Horn, approximately 1500 nm ahead.

The Boston Americans became a professional baseball team in 1901. They later changed their name to the Boston Redsox in 1908. In 1912 the Redsox built their baseball field Fenway Park, which they still play in today. Over the Redsox 109 years as a professional baseball team, they have won seven World Series championships. They won the World Series in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, and 2007. The 86 years in between the World Series championships was known as "The Curse of the Bambino". The Bambino was a nick-name for Babe Ruth, who the Redsox traded after their 1918 World Series win. The Redsox have retired the numbers of six players, Bobby Doerr, Joe Cronin, Johnny Pesky, Carl Yastrzemski, Ted Williams, and Carlton Fisk.

Homosexualité et bisexualité au Sénégal : une réalité multiforme
The first surveys on men who have sex with men (MSM) carried out in Senegal in the context of the fight against AIDS, revealed high rates of bisexuality. In 2007, a new epidemiological and behavioural survey (ELIHoS) approached the question of bisexual practices in greater depth. That survey is used here to depict the plurality of forms that bisexuality may take in Senegal. A six-group typology of current modes of sexual activity was constructed based on the characteristics of sexual partners over the past year and at the time of the survey. Various factors in the respondents? social and sexual life event histories were then analysed according to their current mode of sexual activity. It showed that these modes correspond to different sexual practices and characteristics of first sexual intercourse with a man. However, the systematic use of a condom for similar sexual practices did not depend on the mode of sexual activity. Fewer men who engaged in regular intercourse with women and only occasionally with men were infected with HIV because they less frequently engaged in high-risk anal intercourse.

In early April software developer Mark/Space Inc. announced The Missing Sync for Tapwave, a software application that enables users of Tapwave's Zodiac game console and PDA to work with the Macintosh. Now the other piece of the puzzle is available: Tapwave on Tuesday announced its Tapwave System Software 1.1 release, which is also needed in order for the device to work with Macs.
The Tapwave Zodiac is a hardware-accelerated game console that utilizes Palmsource Inc.'s Palm OS as its operating system. In addition to a stylus, the Zodiac features an analog thumbstick, directional pad and action buttons. It uses Motorola's i.MX1 ARM 9 processor and ATI Imageon graphics acceleration. It combines both game play abilities with personal information management software and connects to Macs or PCs using USB or Bluetooth. It's also expandable with SDIO, MultiMediaCard and Secure Digital (SD) expansion cards.
Beside Mac compatibility, the Zodiac 1.1 update additionally provides the ability to play MP3 music in the background, features "Quick Launch" capabilities, and other changes made in response to user feedback. In conjunction with The Missing Sync for Tapwave, Zodiac users can synchronize data with their Macs, install downloadable games using drag and drop and sync game high scores using a Palm Desktop conduit.
Tapwave also announced that its console and software would be available in June 2004 from CompUSA retail stores. Tapwave plans to release 10 new premiere titles by the end of the year along with 60 to 75 "Tapwave Certified or Tuned" titles -- Palm-compatible games that have been adapted to run optimally on the Zodiac.
The Zodiac is available in two models -- a 32MB system costs US$299 and a 128MB system costs $399. Until June, you can order the Zodiac from Tapwave's Web site. The Missing Sync for Tapwave is available from Mark/Space and costs $39.95. The Zodiac 1.1 update is a free download from Tapwave's Web site.

Grief FAQ's
- What is Grief?
- How Long Does Grief Last?
- Does Grief Just Affect Emotions?
- Is it Wrong to Have Conflicting Feelings?
- Is it More Difficult to Recover From the Impact of a Sudden Death?
- What Do I Say to Someone Who is Grieving?
- Do Children Grieve?
- Does Grief Affect Men and Women Differently?
- What Do We Tell the Children?
- What Can I Do to Help Someone Who is Grieving?
What is Grief?
Grief is a normal emotional and physical response that can occur when we have experienced a significant loss and/or change in our lives. The death of someone we love results in emotional responses such as disbelief, anger, guilt, depression and a feeling of emptiness. Physical symptoms can include sleeplessness, loss of concentration, the feeling of detachment, and numbness.
How Long Does Grief Last?
Grief responses are very individual. Each person will react in their own unique way. There are certain chemicals released by the grieving person, sometimes for months after the death, which is normal. These chemicals change the way we think and feel. Often a birthday, Christmas and the first anniversary of the death of a loved one are especially difficult times. It can take anywhere from two to five years to readjust after a death of a loved one.
Does Grief Just Affect Emotions?
Grief affects us both emotionally and physically. Our thought processes can be altered for some time. Being vague and forgetful, the fear of going crazy, too much sleep or lack of it, are all normal reactions to the death of a loved one. Some people say they see or hear the person who has died. Our bodily systems can change, more infections, coughs, colds, high blood pressure all occur with some grieving people and can be checked by your doctor.
Is it Wrong to Have Conflicting Feelings?
When a loved one has suffered a long drawn out illness, it is common to feel a sense of relief when the person dies. In time you will feel sad at the loss of that person in your life and perhaps experience guilt at your earlier reaction of relief, especially if the death has given you greater personal freedom. Grief is like being on a roller-coaster, your emotions can change from day to day or even hour to hour. When grieving, we need to be kind to ourselves and not make judgements on our own behaviour. If you find yourself having a good day, enjoy it, the next day could be completely different.
Is it More Difficult to Recover From the Impact of a Sudden Death?
A sudden death is different from an expected death. When someone is dying we have the opportunity to deal with 'unfinished business' and perhaps lessen our regrets of things we wish we had said or done. With sudden and unexpected death there has usually been no opportunity for this and the grieving can be different. It can be most important then to spend some time with the deceased person i.e. viewing to say goodbye.
What Do I Say to Someone Who is Grieving?
People who are grieving need to be allowed to express their feelings in a safe environment. They need to know you will not judge or devalue their feelings by using clichés such as 'at least he didn't suffer'. What you can say to a grieving person is something like 'I wish I had the words to ease the pain you are going through right now'.
Do Children Grieve?
Children from the ages of three to four are aware that someone is missing and need to be involved with the family in the funeral if they so choose. Older children will often outwardly copy adults in their grieving e.g. crying or not crying, while inwardly having their own grief reactions as individuals.
Does Grief Affect Men and Women Differently?
It appears there are male and female responses to grief. A typical male reaction can be to not talk about things because this will 'only cause upset'. They need to feel in control, to be the 'protector', 'leader' and 'fixer'. Some women can use this method also. A typical female reaction will be to talk over and over again about the deceased person and the death, often with tears and emotion. These reactions are both normal, and can cause conflict in relationships.
What Do We Tell the Children?
Children under the age of three need to be kept in their routine with primary care givers as much as possible. Over that age they need to be told simply and honestly what has happened and what will happen in the funeral and in a 'viewing', and then asked if they would like to take part. They are more likely to accept matters if they are kept informed and given a choice. Often children will draw a picture, use a photo or a toy to place in the coffin to say goodbye.
What Can I Do to Help Someone Who is Grieving?
In times of grief, people need acceptance of their emotions for however long it takes for them to heal. Providing help with practical tasks such as shopping, cooking or minding children is very helpful for the person grieving. Often the grieving person is afraid that others are 'sick of them' and will not ask for help. Phone the grieving person on a regular basis, with their permission, just to show you care. Allow them to grieve in their own way.

What Is Cholesterol Ratio and Why Does It Matter?
Learning Your Numbers
Learning Your Numbers
You skip breakfast, have a blood test, and get your cholesterol results a few days later. You're probably familiar with your total cholesterol- that's the number you want to keep below 200. Your total cholesterol is the sum of high-density lipoprotein, HDL (good cholesterol), plus low-density lipoprotein, LDL (bad cholesterol), plus 20 percent of your triglycerides, a type of fat carried in your blood. But what about your cholesterol ratio? Learn what this health statistic tells you.
Get The Basics On Cholesterol & How You Can Manage Your Cholesterol Ratio »
What's In a Ratio?
What's In a Ratio?
Your cholesterol ratio is calculated by dividing your total cholesterol by your HDL number. For instance, if your total cholesterol is 180 and your HDL is 82, your cholesterol ratio is 2.2. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), you should aim to keep your ratio below 5, with the ideal cholesterol ratio at 3.5.
Ratio and Risk for Men
Ratio and Risk for Men
According to Harvard Medical School, a cholesterol ratio of 5 indicates average risk of heart disease for men. Men run double the risk for heart disease if their ratio reaches 9.6 and have roughly half the average risk for heart disease with a cholesterol ratio of 3.4.
Ratio and Risk for Women
Ratio and Risk for Women
Same Numbers, Different Ratio
Same Numbers, Different Ratio
Two people with the same total cholesterol number can have different cholesterol ratios. The ratios indicate different levels of heart disease risk. Harvard Medical School cites the following example: If your total cholesterol is 200 and your HDL is 60, your cholesterol ratio would be 3.3. That's near the AHA ideal level. However, if your HDL is 35—below the recommended level of 40 for men and 50 for women—your cholesterol ratio would be 5.7. This ratio places you in a higher risk category.
Heart Health Shorthand
Heart Health Shorthand
Some people may find it easier to remember their cholesterol ratio—one number—than their HDL, LDL, and total numbers. This is fine if you're in a low-risk category, but if your bad cholesterol has climbed, it's best to pay attention to all your numbers. Knowing your total cholesterol and the risk indicated by your cholesterol ratio helps you set the appropriate goals to keep your numbers in a healthy range.
Use the Numbers to Your Advantage
Use the Numbers to Your Advantage
The AHA believes that absolute numbers for total blood cholesterol and HDL cholesterol—rather than a ratio—are more effective in determining cholesterol-lowering treatment. But both are useful in looking at your overall risk. If your total cholesterol level is high, your doctor will also look at the ratio of your total cholesterol to HDL. If that number is below 5, indicating average risk, your doctor may consider this in the overall evaluation of your risk.
Finding the Right Treatment
Finding the Right Treatment
Your cholesterol ratio clarifies the picture of your risk of heart disease. But the ratio alone isn't enough to assess what treatment will be best if your risk is high. Your doctor will take your total cholesterol into account to determine the correct mix of diet, exercise, and medication to bring your numbers into the desirable range.

Words Covered Are:
again, away, because, come, could, help, house, how, jump, little, look, make, one, run, should, their, there, they're, three, to, too, two, want, we're, were, when, where, who, why, and would.
We've updated another set of our Sight Word songs with fun animations and actions, created specifically to help children memorize the spellings of 30 more high frequency words. This program has been used with children from Kindergarten up to the beginning of third grade. With the words written out onscreen and fun movements choreographed to help with memorization, these fun songs help children easily memorize the spellings as they are able to learn the alphabet and begin writing. This set of songs also includes words with multiple meanings and spellings, such as homonyms like "there," "their," and "they're." For these words, the songs also help the children remember the meanings and spellings of each of these tricky words that even adults consistently confuse!
The Importance of Sight Words
"Sight word" is the term that many teachers use to describe a word in written English that cannot be sounded out, and therefore must be memorized on sight. The reason that most sight words cannot be sounded out is because they do not follow the regular spelling and phonics patterns that are often taught to children when they are beginning to read.
For example, in the word, "the," the reader must first recognize that the "th" together forms one sound /th/, and the "e" makes neither the short or long /e/ sound, but a short /u/ sound. Likewise, the word, "said" may start and end phonetically, but the middle of the word has short /e/ sound spelled with two letters ("ai") that are not sounded at all.
In addition, when the children find the words or movements amusing, they are also more likely to remember that song/word, since it touched their emotional side as well. All of this adds up to a learning tool that can reach even special needs children in a regular classroom setting, while at the same time keeping the faster learners happy and challenged as well- because ALL kids learn best when learning is FUN and ACTIVE!

HeidiSongs has partnered with Vimeo to offer you streaming, on-demand videos of many of our DVD's through a one-year rental with Vimeo! This platform brings you unlimited, easy playback on all your devices, anywhere you have a connection. Once your rental purchase is made through Vimeo, all you need is the Vimeo Player app for your devices, and/or an up-to-date browser on your computer, with a fairly fast internet connection, and you're all set! (Please note that this a separate transaction through Vimeo.) While many folks will still prefer the convenience and accessibility of our video DVD's, this video on-demand option is a nice addition for your iPad, phone, or other tablet device. Plus, the one year rental option is a nice way to try our wonderful HeidiSongs videos in your home or classroom, or to supplement your existing DVD's with multiple viewing devices. One other thing to remember is that our on-demand movies play straight through, with no chapter divisions for skipping to specific songs or menu's for navigation, so please be aware of that.
It's important to test your device before you make your rental purchase through Vimeo, as we don't have the ability to refund purchases made to Vimeo if your device is unsupported or if you have a poor quality internet connection to your school or home. Heidi discovered this when she tried to use the videos on her school computer, only to realize the Window's Internet Explorer browser was outdated, and she had to call the district for an update. An easy test is to verify that the movie "trailer" plays well on your device or computer, if it does, you should not have a problem with purchasing a movie.

Robert Oatley Mudgee Chardonnay 2009
Chardonnay from Australia
Winemaker's Notes
This Chardonnay, grown on Mudgee's high altitude climate and ancient red-brown earth, was produced in our modern winery with the best of traditional winemaking techniques – giving an aromatic and fruit-driven wine with structure and minerality at the core.
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Light, bright colour; as much in the modern style as is the Margaret River Chardonnay, but of course, has a very different flavour profile, with stone fruit and honeydew melon to the fore. It does share the same restraint and elegance, particularly with its oak handling."
Wine Spectator - "Polished, lively and appealing for its sunny pear, cream, vanilla and lychee flavors, which slide smoothly through the long, elegant finish. Drink now through 2016. 7,000 cases made."
Robert Oatley Winery
Famed Australian Vintners, Bob and Sandy Oatley, founders of Rosemount Estate, began their next wine venture to pay homage to the many terrific regions of Australia and the grapes most suited to the terroir.
Wherever he makes wine, Bob Oatley's underlying philosophy is to find the right vineyard with the right soil and match it to the right variety.
With the guidance of winemaker, Larry Cherubino, Robert Oatley Vineyards shares the expression of regions, such as Margaret River, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Great Southern and Central Ranges. View all Robert Oatley Wines
About Other AustraliaView a map of Other Australia wineries
With a landmass the size of the US, Australia has just as many appellations. Many wines are simply labeled from their state of origin. Some of these are the most popular:
New South Wales- New South Wales has a variety of smaller wine growing regions. Many wines are a blend of these smaller appellations, leading to the more encompassing designation of New South Wales.
Western Australia– A small percentage of Australia's winemaking occurs on the West Coast. The largest Australian state, Western Australia, includes the appellations Margaret River and Great Southern.
Southeastern Australia– This appellation encompasses the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Grapes are often trucked in from at least 2 of these states for crushing and bottling, giving the wine a more general appellation of origin. This is the broadest appellation in Australia.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

This looks good for me too. Only background pattern could be the problem and I would try without it. And maybe smaller body font size. Did you get specific reason for rejection?
I find it very good and stylish. The only thing that disturbs me a little bit is too strong blur effect applied onto images (on slider; and by the way–you used a remarkable and fresh option to drag images manually).
There is a couple of things which could be improved (main icons are not pixel-perfect, justified text in text widget (on sidebar), orphans on About The Author, padding between paragraphs in blog posts could be increased as well as font-size) but these things are really minor ones and definitely are not the reason of rejection.
I wish I could give you an advice what to change but seriously, I do not see anything screaming. Try to ask the reviewers and get from them more specified explanation why the template was hard rejected.
I noticed that you have several h1 elements on your page. Personally, I think that there should be only one h1. Well, several h1 headings don't actually harm anything visually. However it's not good for the semantics. The h1 should describe the site, or perhaps the current page. And even if you use more h1 elements, they should be describing the site, they should not be used like you used them in "Why Us" section. I don't see a reason, why features are displayed in h1. The semantics are just not right.And even bing says that:
"Every page should include a single h1 tag."http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff724059(v=expression.40).aspx
Also check out this article: http://www.seounique.com/blog/multiple-h1-tags-triggers-google-penalty/
It's just my opinion, many people will disagree.
Thanks for your replies and suggestions.
The worst thing for me is that this theme was hard rejected without any specific note. Also, is it strange that you can find similar themes which are accepted?
Shoomury said
Also, is it strange that you can find similar themes which are accepted?
No. It's common.
Ask reviewers for more specific explanation.
