This means we'll have a setup like this: rdac pg1 sda failed sdb failed pg2 sdc active sdd active Correct? So, given your assumptions, the proposed scenario would be represented like this: rdac pg1 sda active sdb failed pg2 sdc active sdd active So it is really a good idea to switch paths in this case? The 'sdb' path would not be reachable here, so any path switch command wouldn't have been received, either. I'm not sure _what_ is going to happen when we switch paths now and sdb comes back later; but most likely the entire setup will be messed up then: sda (pref & owned) 6 sdb 0 sdc (sec) 1 sdd (sec & owned) 3 and we'll be getting the path layout thoroughly jumbled then. So I don't really like this idea. We should only be switching paths when _all_ paths of a path group become available again. Providing not all paths have failed in the active group, of course. Then we should be switching paths regardless.

LVM (Logical Volume Management) is a very important tool to have in the toolkit of a MySQL DBA. It allows you to create and extend logical volumes on the fly. This allows me to, say, add another disk and extend a partition effortlessly. The other very important feature is the ability to take snapshots, that you can then use for backups. All in all its a must have tool. Hence, this guide will allow you to understand various terminologies associated with LVM, together with setting up LVM volumes and in a later part will also show you how to extend...

This picture to my mind remains a pattern for the page, so far unrivalled by any of the other configurations that have been tried. Viewed at arm's length, it drew the reader closely in at eye level to a dramatic event, gave the necessary contextual information very briefly and then left the reader to his or her reflections.
So far as British daily journalism is concerned, this two-page spread provides a unique space for photography, offering a picture area that, excluding the heading, measures roughly 42cm x 60cm, or 16½in x 23½in - somewhat larger than a whole broadsheet page.
Size is not everything, and the use of the space in this way may seem to some an extravagance. The relative allocation of space to home and international news, and financial matters, in the main paper is a cause of common interest to readers and editors. Each of these pictorial centre spreads has to argue its justification.
Committing the space to photography, and carrying as few words as possible, has presented a challenge to editors, picture editors and photographers. To use a picture this size, the scale has to be demanded by the content. The wrong choice would immediately appear over-inflated. Your first reaction, if the right choice has been made, should not be to question the size of the picture, or - the ultimate condemnation- to wonder why it has been used at all.
They have not all been concerned with conflict or disaster. Dan Chung, a Guardian staff photographer, took readers backstage at London Fashion Week, showing, you might say, the graft behind the glamour. David Levene took us to Pietrasanta, in the Tuscan hills, to see Marc Quinn at work on his sculpture Alison Lapper Pregnant, now on its plinth in Trafalgar Square where it invites us to think about the relationship between those of us who are disabled and those who are not. Johnny Green showed us the scale and present state of the new Wembley stadium with the cluster of cranes that has given the impression, as the structure rises over north London, that it is being knitted.
The spread seems to work best when used for a single strong image. One example was Emilio Morenatti's picture, taken from a high vantage point looking down on the aftermath of a missile that destroyed a school in Gaza City, with a crocodile of schoolgirls walking past the collapsed building. A legitimate purpose of pictures such as this, on this scale and with this directness of presentation, is, I suggest, to prompt uncliched thought in an area where opinion is polarised (the opposite, in other words, of the purpose served by propaganda). Does it do that?
Which brings me to the photograph by Paul Sancya to which the spread was devoted on September 22. The picture itself was taken in New Orleans on September 20, "22 days after Hurricane Katrina". It showed a scene in one of the poorest areas of the city with, in the foreground, the body of man - rather the clothed skeleton of a man - whom the receding flood waters had draped over a wire fence. Several readers criticised the Guardian for showing the picture. One reader expressed disgust that the Guardian had used it. Here is a question: what was disgusting or disrespectful here, the fact that this person had been left lying for three weeks after the hurricane, or that the Guardian had shown that to be the case, or perhaps both? I felt strongly that the decision to publish the picture was right, but that does not close the debate.

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF23) Serum Levels in Juvenile Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE): A Potential Link with Renal Involvement.

Phosphatonins are involved in phosphate homeostasis, Vitamin D metabolism, and bone mineralization. FGF23, the master phosphatonin, acts through FGFr1 present in kidney, vessels and heart; its levels are high in chronic renal disease, and association between FGF23 levels and high death a part of other risk factors has been reported. JSLE is associated with high risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction, by autoantibodies, ICC and cytokines play a role in vascular injury.
1.To evaluate the serum level of intact FGF23 in JSLE pts. 2.To correlate FGF23 values to lipid profile, renal function, renal biopsy, and cardiac data.
Patients and Methods:
53 consecutive pts (46 F 7 M, mean age at diagnosis 13.3±5.6) with SLE onset before 18 yrs entered the study. 12/53 had renal disease (GN) at onset while 13/53 developed GN signs over time. Steroids were the first drug in all pts, then hydroxychloroquine, AZA, CyA, and MMF while antiCD20 was applied to 3 pts. At study entry, the disease was controlled by hydroxychloroquine in 28/53, while in 25/53 with low dose prednisone, MMF or AZA; 1 pts developed renal failure and went on dialysis. All pts with GN were biopsied 6 mths from renal manifestations onset: 4 WHO IIA, 6 IIB, 10 III, 5 IV. 35 sex and age matched subjects acted as controls. Serum intact FGF23 levels were measured with an ELISA assay (Immunotopics Inc. San Clemente, CA, USA).
FGF23 serum levels resulted higher in JSLE pts than in controls (t-student:67.1±40SD vs 5±3.2SD pg/ml). By Mann-Whitney U Test; GN pts had FGF23 values higher than those without (45.3±20 vs 13,77±9.2 SD pg/ml; p=0.0001). By Ancova analysis pts with severe disease (WHO III-IV) had higher levels than patients with biopsies WHO IIA-IIB (52,5±21 and 58,5±15 pg/ml respectively vs 13.7±9 and 35±10 pg/ml p=0.004). No significant correlation was found among serum FGF23 levels, lipid profile and cardiac function. A trend characterized by an inverse correlation between FGF23 and HDL was found (r-0.07;p=n.s.).
Serum FGF23 levels are higher in JSLE pts and seem to correlate with renal damage. FGF23 serum values should be a helpful biomarker for assessing the risk of renal damage, and helpful in pts with early kidney disease in whom FGF23 levels firstly increase. Data in a larger cohort of pts are needed to define the role of FGF23 in renal disease of JSLE pts.

President Dr Mohamed Waheed has said that the government gives a very high priority to give economic and political empowerment to women, and to increase the participation of women at the decision-making level.
The President made this remark while speaking at the official function held this evening to mark this year's International Women's Day. The function was held in Kanditheemu of North Miladhummadulu Atoll.
Underlining that increasing the number of women in politics was a necessary step towards the future of the country, the President said that the government gives high priority to promote gender equality. He noted that women's participation in national development was growing, and said that women must be provided educational opportunities and skills development opportunities, for effective women's empowerment.
In his speech, Presidents Waheed said that it was very disturbing that sexual abuse against women and children in the Maldives has been increasing. He said that as violence against women was growing, we must strive to give justice to those women who suffer.
"I assure you that my administration is fully committed to provide protection and security to everyone who is suffering from all forms of violence. My administration will give voice to women, children, the elderly and the disabled people. We will not hesitate to speak the truth."

Soul Jazz Records announce Studio One Dancehall compilation
Soul Jazz Records have announced the release of a new compilation: "Studio One Dancehall – Sir Coxsone in the Dance: The Foundation Sound".
This new collection spans Studio One's dancehall period – singers and deejays on classic Studio One rhythms, studio and electronic wizadry from the Brentford Road headquarters, lots of rare 12" singles, all effortlessly brought together to nice up the dance.
When Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd first ruled the dancehalls of Kingston in the 1950s, fighting off the soundsystem competition of Duke Reid, King Edwards and others, few could imagine how far the reign of Studio One would last. But the emergence of 'Dancehall' as a distinct style of reggae at the end of the 1970s, as upstart competing producers began recording vocalists and deejays performing over replayed classic Studio One rhythms, in many ways made the influence of Clement Dodd's vision more omnipotent than ever before (and lasting to this day).
Not surprisingly, Clement Dodd's creativity and business acumen made him quick to respond to this musical phenomenon and he soon began voicing the new stable of Studio One singers and deejays, such as Sugar Minott and Lone Ranger, over original classic Studio One rhythms recorded in the late 1960s, to produce some of the most innovative, time-bending and creative music of his career.
This album comes as CD with slipcase, triple vinyl album with free download code and as a digital download.
Busto Power Trio is a London based noir-spy-experimental band. They have just released their first EP "The Deal".
In their own words: "Music for a surreal, twisted, perverted spy movie that will -hopefully- never be shot. It tells a short detective story gone completely wrong by using surfish, noir, jazzy sounds. It's music for villains. "The Deal" is a love letter to all those all those smoky, dark movies we love."

Just a week before week 2 of course 4, I watched a video posted on Google+ on how Paul Anderson of BOZEMANSCIENCE is using game design in his AP Biology class.
The video really stuck with me and I was questioning whether I could apply some of the same game design techniques into my own classes. I really was intrigued and joined Gamification in Education and Gamification 4 Teachers by Teachers Google+ Communities. I am still a lurker on these communities but watching the conversations has been very interesting.
As week 2 began I was stoked to find out our topic and I really started researching gamification and looked back at the communities I had joined the previous week. A few themes always stood out in my research. Gamification is a way to transform teaching by increasing engagement and motivation. As Adrian Camm said during his Learning 2 speech, "the moment we invite kids to see the world in a pleasurable way, it connects pleasurable moments with learning." Who wouldn't want to add pleasurable moments to one's class where student motivation and engagement are increased?
I know I would but the actual integration of gamification within my business classes is something I am still trying to wrap my head around. Reading Andrew Miller's article confirmed my main question about gamification, where am I going with this? We need to "begin with the end in mind" which has become standard practice when applying UbD. It wasn't about what I would need to do to gamify my classes but rather why I would do it and how does it really meet the learning outcomes expected of my students. Increased engagement and motivation are great but are they running parallel to goals I have for my students.
According to Karl Kapp's book, The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game-based Methods and Strategies for Training and Education:
"On its surface, gamification is simply the use of game mechanics to make learning and instruction more fun. It seems "fake" artificial or like a shortcut. It's not. Underneath the surface is the idea of engagement, story, autonomy, and meaning. Games give experience meaning, they provide a set of boundaries within a "safe" environment to explore, think and "try things out." Games Provide motivation to succeed and reduce the sting of failure."
Theoretically I believe Kapp's points are true. In a game if one doesn't pass a level, you try again and again all the while improving and eventually obtain the necessary mastery to pass the level. This is very different than most formative assessments where typically everyone is on the same level and progress at the same pace and eventually continue to the next level whether they are ready or not.
This potential for increased autonomy seems very powerful but could also lead to unhealthy fragmentation within the class. How would one feel if they are always three levels behind their peers? If their score never reaches the leaderboard, how will they react? Also, how does this differ than the current system my students are in where they may not be an official leaderboard but in reality many students do share and compare marks and some feel it impossible to move up that leaderboard. I really don't know how my students would react to this but it all comes down to motivation.
Perhaps gamification will be the trigger that increases student motivation. One of the most influential books on motivation is DRiVE by Daniel Pink. In his book he pushes away from the conventional extrinsic motivators (carrot and sticks which are grades for my students) and instead focuses on intrinsic motivation. Pink breaks down the most important intrinsic motivators as:
- Autonomy — the desire to direct our own lives
- Mastery — the urge to get better and better at something that matters
- Purpose — the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.
Can gamification authentically meet these intrinsic motivators? Can I really apply gamification that provides purpose? Perhaps competition, (something I am wary of) where the focal point is bringing a team up instead of just oneself will be enough? Will students just game the system in order to meet their extrinsic motivator of good grades? A motivator that does deserves to be validated due to the current system in which students are accepted into university.
These are questions I struggle with and in the end I feel it all comes to game design. I do feel that gamifying one's class has real potential but I also can see it blowing up in my face. I have flipped a unit before and though I found it to be relatively successful, I also found the necessary preparation time to be quite extensive and believe gamifying would just add another exponent. I already had a hard time keeping up with my flipped unit and ended up taking a break. However, I plan on building up my flipped resources and believe gamification and a flipped classroom model would work quite well together. I feel gamification can enhance the flipped model as it can extend the potential autonomy for students while also providing more purpose.
I keep thinking back to learning outcomes and whether gamifying really can meet them. Is it possible to meet higher order skills when considering Bloom's taxonomy within a gamified setting? Will students be able to analyze, evaluate, explain, discuss, distinguish, examine and evaluate (most commonly used command terms for IB Business) within a gamified class? Once again it comes down to game design and as the creator of the game, I do believe I could accomplish these goals but every aspect of the game would need to be purposeful.
In the process of writing this blog post I do feel I have convinced myself the "why" to gamify my class. Next I need to focus on the "how" and then "what" which seems overwhelming. These are extremely important though as I can't meet my objectives of "why" if the "how" and "what" aren't well thought out and executed properly.
In order to succeed in gamifying my class, I feel I need two things. Time and someone to collaborate with. Potentially course 5 will be the opportunity for this so if you know of any business teachers (doesn't need to be a COETAILer) interested in gamifying a unit, please have them contact me.
Note that this doesn't mean I believe gamifying will define how teach and in the process of creating a unit I may even abandon it. However, I do believe it is worth looking into.

I've just a simple Question concerning the Soundex implementation.
I thoungth htfuzzy builds a Database Soundex-Key->Word_in_a_document.
And htsearch builds the soundex-key of the KeyWord and looks in the
soundex-database for all Words with the same Key.
Then You get all pages with matches the same soundex-key.
First test search of 'shhk':
Htsearch matches all pages with 'shk' (because where no words with
Second Test search of 'brenwert':
Htsearch found no pages although there are pageswith 'brennwert'
What's wrong?

In this task, you will use the chi-square test in Stata to determine whether gender and blood pressure cuff size are independent of each other. The chi-square statistics is requested from the Stata command svy:tabulate.
There are several things you should be aware of while analyzing NHANES data with Stata. Please see the Stata Tips page to review them before continuing.
Remember that you need to define the SVYSET before using the SVY series of commands. The general format of this command is below:
svyset [w=weightvar], psu(psuvar) strata(stratavar) vce(linearized)
To define the survey design variables for your blood pressure cuff size (bpacsz) analysis, use the weight variable for four-yours of MEC data (wtmec4yr), the PSU variable (sdmvpsu), and strata variable (sdmvstra) .The vce option specifies the method for calculating the variance and the default is "linearized" which is Taylor linearization. Here is the svyset command for four years of MEC data:
svyset [w= wtmec4yr], psu(sdmvpsu) strata(sdmvstra) vce(linearized)
In this example, a new variable (cuff_size) is created to regroup blood pressure cuff size (bpacsz) from five categories to four categories. This collapses the infant (1) and child (2) groups. Use the gen command to create a new variable.
gen cuff_size=1 if bpacsz==1 | bpacsz==2
replace cuff_size=2 if bpacsz==3
replace cuff_size=3 if bpacsz==4
replace cuff_size=4 if bpacsz==5
Now, that the svyset has been defined you can use the Stata command, svy: tabulate, to produce two-way tabulations with tests of independence. Some of the options for the tab command include:
The general command for generating two-way tabulations is below.
svy:tabulate varname, subpop(if condition) options
Use the svy : tabulate command to produce two-way tabulations for gender (riagendr) and blood pressure cuff size (cuff_size) with tests of independence for people age 20 years and older. (See Section 5.4 of Korn and Graubard Analysis of Data from Health Surveys, pp 207-211). Use the subpop( ) option to select a subpopulation for analysis, rather than select the study population in the Stata program while preparing the data file. This example uses an if statement to define the subpopulation based on the age variable's (ridageyr) value. Another option is to create a dichotomous variable where the subpopulation of interest is assigned a value of 1, and everyone else is assigned a value of 0. The options specified for this example, use the column, rows, obs, percent, pearson, null and wald test statistic options.
svy:tab riagendr cuff_size, subpop (if ridageyr >=20 & ridageyr<.) column row obs percent pearson null wald
Here is a table summarizing the output:
age 20 and older
age 20 and older
|p value
|Cuff size
|(1) Infant
|(2) Child
|3 Adult
|4 Large
|5 Thigh
Men have a larger cuff size than women – for example, 70% of men had cuff size of 4 or 5 compared to 51% of women. Cuff size varies significantly according to gender (p<0.0001). NOTE: The grayed cells have too few observations to create stable estimates and should probably not be reported.

In the Reserve auction you are not necessarily bidding to hit the reserve but to be the high bidder. That is when the Haggle begins. If you are not familiar with the Haggle process click on: Help & Info Often the Reserve is the price the Seller would like to get but is not necessarily the minimum price the Seller may be willing to accept. We hope this explains why we don't disclose.

I am new to this list and would like to post my interests.
I am a descendant of MARTHA BATTERSBY [c. 1790 St Mary, Bury] who married
ROBERT SCHOLES at Saint Mary, Bury in 1810. Children of Robert Scholes and
Martha Battersby [all c. Saint Mary, Bury] were:
JOSEPH SCHOLES c. 1811 [my gg-grandfather]*
JACOB SCHOLES c. 1812
ROBERT SCHOLES c. 1815
MARY SCHOLES c 1817 (m. EDWARD BLACKBURN and migrated to Melbourne,
Australia in 1841)
ANN SCHOLES c. 1821 [and d. ?]
THOMAS SCHOLES c. 1824
ANN SCHOLES c. 1827
* JOSEPH SCHOLES m. SARAH RYLANCE (formerly of Dukinfield, Cheshire,
daughter of SCOFIELD RYLANCE) around 1833 (I can't locate marriage on IGI).
They migrated to Australia in 1841 with three of their sons and settled in
the New England district of New South Wales. Children born in England were:
ROBERT SCHOLES c. 1834 Saint Mary, Bury
JACOB SCHOLES c. 1836 [died prior to 1841]
JOHN WOOLNER SCHOLES c. 1838 Cathedral, Manchester (my g-grandfather)
JOSEPH SCHOLES c. 1840 Cathedral, Manchester
In correspondence back to England in 1841 and 1843, Joseph Scholes refers to
relatives in Manchester, Oldham, Heywood, Pendlebury, Bury, Hyde and
Ringley - "and elsewhere" (some of these would be relatives through
marriage). Joseph also refers to an "UNCLE WOOLNER" - presumably JOHN
WOOLNER who may have owned a cotton mill in Bury or Manchester.
If anyone has any connection with these families, I would very much like to
hear from you.

Well Saturday rolled around, and I had a race to run. This would be a family event, my Wife and son were also racing, however my daughter was with friends so no cheer squad. This was in Carrollton, so we just had a short drive to get there. This was the third year for the race, and the first year that it was listed in the local series. All in all this was very well organized, we went through the packet pick up quickly, put our bibs on, and I started warming up with my son.
I had no idea what I was in for course wise, but the temperature was going to be no fun. The race started at 9:30 and at 8:30 the temp was already in the mid 80's with a clear sky, no wind, and plenty of humidity. I had no time goal, outside of sub 20, and to see what I could do with the training that I've had.
I lined up conservatively, there were a lot of kids toeing the line, and I told my son to be careful of them. There were the normal announcements, and the asked all of the walkers to start in the back. Then we were off.
I managed to get out quick without tripping on any children(or anyone else for that matter), and just tucked in behind the leaders. I was in the top 10, and there was one of the guys from the series that is just a bit faster than me up ahead. I decided to just try to stick with him, and see how I could finish this thing. The first mile was rolling and ended with a downhill. 6:12.
To this point I had only been passed by 1 younger guy, and I had passed 2. My rabbit was still a little way ahead, but I could tell there was no way I was going to catch him. I was still feeling good, just hot, and getting hotter. Mile 2 was rolling hills through town, very little shade. Of course we had climb into the town, but the good thing was we would be going back down that hill at the beginning of the last mile. Everyone was holding up well, at least I wasn't passing people yet. I skipped the water stop, although water would have been great. It was getting hotter by the minute. 6:25.
Last mile I had to pick it back up. For the start it was down hill which was nice, I just tried to let it pull me down. Then we had a short up back into the fairground. This whole stretch we were running back by the walkers, so lot's of cheering. When we got into the fairground, I knew what was going on, and we were getting close, so I had to push it. I passed two guys, and then the next one I passed when he stepped aside to throw up. We were pushing hard and the heat was making it tough. I sprinted into the finish, just missing passing another guy. 6:16, and then 5:54 for the last .14.
Somewhere in that last mile I went around a corner and the guy that I was chasing was just gone. He ended up taking 2nd over all, but was awarded 1st in my AG because the do top finishers, and then AG. I was 2nd in my AG. With a finish time of 19:43.61.
So I waited for my son to finish, and catch my breath. I cheered him in for a final kick to pass up one more guy, and then went to check on him. He was feeling worn out, this was his first 5k since CC last year, and he had missed the last quarter of Track with upper resperatory, and heart troubles. He's only been back at it for just over a month now. He didn't push himself, just ran a little past comfortable, any way he was happy to have finished, and checked out fine. Now I had to go find my Wife and run her in.
I didn't actually have far to go, she was less than half a mile from the finish, so I ran her most of the way in, and encouraged her to finish strong. She was surprised to get 3rd in her AG. Ben did not place, but he was in the 15 to 21 AG, so not much of a chance there.
We all had a good time, enjoyed the race very much, and I have a few more take aways if you are interested.
1. If you want to run 5k's and compete, you have to run 5k's regularly. My last 5k was back in March, and to tell the truth I wasn't prepared for this one. I could have run it harder, and I know that I could have done it faster, but practice doesn't give you the edge you need.
2.Running in the heat is the best prep for for running a hot race. I don't think that the heat bothered me as much as it could have, but I've been running in the weather all the way thru this year.
3.Runners are great people, and a small community. After I got my award, the guy that I had been chasing came up to me and asked if I had any big race plans for the Fall, I told him about the Erie Marathon, and he told me about his crashed attempt at running the Cleveland Marathon. Then he said that he knew I coached and stuff, but if I wanted to he and a bunch of other runners get together at Metzger Park every Wednesday and run as a group. If I wanted to join them I was welcome, and maybe I could give them some pointers. The guy just beat me in a 5k by a couple of minutes, and asked me to join his group and teach them some stuff. Yes once again I feel like a bit of a Rock Star. I told him I would try. Of course if I get involved in another fast running group who knows where I will end up.
Next up, Sunday's 15mile Long Run
Have fun,

`Afghanistan progressing but challenges remain`
Noting that Afghanistan had made remarkable progress in the last ten years, the US Wednesday said that considerable challenges still remained in the political, security and economic spheres of the war-torn nation.
Washington: Noting that Afghanistan had made remarkable progress in the last ten years, the US Wednesday said that considerable challenges still remained in the political, security and economic spheres of the war-torn nation.
"I think we have been clear that we believe that Afghanistan has made considerable progress over the last 10 years. Particularly if you compare it to the country that it was on September 11th, 2001, it is now a democratic country with an elected government, with human rights for all," State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters.
Obviously, like all transitioning democracies, there are a huge number of challenges, she noted.
"There are security challenges; there are political challenges; there are economic challenges, as the US is deeply invested with our international partners in supporting and helping Afghanistan as it continues to try to move forward on all of those fronts. And that`s what this visit is going to be about," she said, referring to the visit of Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai that begins on Wednesday.
"We have upcoming elections in Afghanistan in 2014, the next stage in their political development. We have an intensive conversation underway about continuing to develop and improve the economic support that we give to the government of Afghanistan," Nuland said.
"And we have a security conversation that we have to have, as we`ve been clear, about what the enduring US and NATO presence might be after 2014 and how the Afghans are doing meeting their goals of being able to secure themselves after 2014," she said, adding that all these issues would be on the table when President Karzai meets US leaders including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The US, she said, is currently evaluating the distribution of its aid to Afghanistan.
"Historically our economic support for Afghanistan has been channeled in a number of directions. Some of it goes to government of Afghanistan for distribution through its various programmes that it manages. Some of it goes through NGOs and local governments, etc. So it`s been a mixed programme," she said.
"We are constantly reviewing the effectiveness of the programme with the Afghan government, with our folks on the ground, with local leaders, to refine it. One of the things that the Afghan government has wanted for some time is for more of the US government assistance to go into federal government-administered programmes," Nuland said.
"We have continued to evaluate what the appropriate percentage is. We`ve made a pledge that about 50 per cent ought to go through the Afghan government, but this has been tied to our expectation that the Afghan government will in turn meet the commitments that it made at the Tokyo meetings earlier last year with regard to continuing to make progress on corruption, on transparency, on accountability," she said.
"So that`s a conversation that we`ll have with President Karzai when he`s here and probably also at the White House," Nuland said.

Google's Chrome OS has many virtues. Based on a solid foundation of Ubuntu Linux, it uses the Chrome Web browser as its interface to any and all applications. Chrome OS is also not so much a Windows replacement, as it's an attempt to get rid of the entire traditional idea of a PC desktop. If Google is successful with this, one big reason will be its vastly improved security.
Before I go into why Chrome OS will be much more secure than Windows, I have to point out that Google has one big, honking huge security problem to fix first: it's reliance on the fatally flawed login/password model. If they can beat that problem, then Chrome is likely to be most secure 'desktop' operating system we'll have ever seen. Here's why.
First, Google accepts that it's impossible to make an absolutely secure operating system. They use a phrase to describe this design philosophy that I think every developer should have tattooed on their hands: "The perfect is the enemy of the good." In other words, Google won't waste its time on trying to find some perfect system that only exists in fantasy. Instead, Google is spending time on making the best practical security system. This is how it plays out.
1. Harden the operating system
Chrome developers are using a variety of Linux security techniques to minimize how much system access any given program will have and to reduce the number of exposed attack surfaces. In addition, Chrome OS is adopting a defense in depth (PDF Link) approach. The core idea here is that you use multiple layers of security so even if someone breaks in at one point, they're faced with yet another security barrier.
Google is using multiple methods to harden Chrome, but I'm going to glance at just two here. One, namespaces (PDF Link) is rather old. The other, cgroups (Control Groups), is quite new, but the pair have similar goals. In each, the idea is to isolate a hierarchical collection of tasks, cgroups, or a set of processes, and process trees, namespaces, from unlimited access to the system.
So, using both techniques, when an application runs on Chrome its processes gets only as much access to the operating system as it needs to do its job. If the program doesn't need say to use the local file system, then it won't be able to read or write to files. You get the idea, by strictly limiting, what any given application can do to the over-all system that makes it that much harder for even a successful attack on a program to do much harm to the computer, the operating system, or other programs.
2. Sandboxing the operating system
All of the above makes it easier for Google to create an operating system where as many processes and operations as possible are 'sandboxed' from each other. Sandboxing is a common security technique and you often see it used in Web applets and the like. With Chrome, Google takes sandboxing to a new level.
For example, in future versions of Chrome OS say you have two Web pages up. One is a secured Web page that uses SSL (secure socket layer) to secure its Internet connection and the other is an ordinary Web page. On other operating systems you use the same TCP/IP network stack to access both of them. Not on Chrome OS you won't. Instead, each gets its own separate stack. So, even if a successful attack is made on the plain-Jane network stack, nothing happens to the secured link.
This is in stark contrast with Windows where application and process interoperability trumps security every time. Chrome OS will have program interoperability. Instead of doing it as Windows does at a low level, Chrome OS relies on mid-level IPC (interprocess communication) mechanisms), such as D-Bus and ICCCM (Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual) and on higher, application level mechanisms such as those provided by HTML 5 for safer application and process interoperability.
3. Locking down the file systems
OpenBSD is generally regarded as the most secure general purpose operating system out of the box. Chrome OS will give it a run for its money though when it comes to file systems. In Chrome OS, everything that can be locked down in the file system is locked down.
Like what? For starters, the root partition, where software lives on Linux systems, is read-only. You can't add a program to it even if you tried. Oh, and your home directory? Where you keep your files and settings? You can't put executable files or device drivers there either. When Google said that all Chrome OS applications would be Web applications, they weren't kidding.
Oh, and if something is wrong with the data from a Web application? The plan is to minimize the damage from poisoned data by restricting data from each Web domain to its own local storage and then controlling access to that data at a process level. Here again we see the idea of sandboxing to prevent attacks from spreading making its appearance.
4. Secured, automatic updates
An eternal problem with most operating systems is that if a user doesn't choose to update the system, they're vulnerable to the very next attack to come down the road. Or, even more annoying, you can be stuck patching and patching again until the vendor gets it right.
With Chrome OS that's not a problem. You turn on your computer and it gets the newest patches. Something goes wrong with your computer? The entire operating system is replaced with the latest patches included. A new zero-day exploit comes out? Chrome OS auto-updates to fix it as soon as possible rather than waiting for the next monthly Patch Tuesday.
5. Verified boot
Do you know if your computer is secure when you boot it up? Probably not. But, you will with Chrome OS. Every time you start a Chrome OS based device, it will check first its firmware and then start checking its core programs for unauthorized changes as you start using the system. If it finds any, it will tell you about a potential security problem and how to restore the system to a new, good version of the operating system.
No fuss, no muss, and from what I can see of the design it looks like it will also put a real road-block even in the way of a cracker who had stolen your device and is trying to break into it.
All-in-all, Google Chrome OS security is outstanding... once you get pass that login/password problem. If Google can come up with a fix for that, then we may well be looking at the more secure desktop operating system that's ever showed up.

About the Book
This book is a compilation of narratives and pictures from students and professors from Upper Iowa University who traveled to Haiti in May of 2011. The team did construction work with Partners in Development (PID), a non-governmental organization (NGO) that is making a difference for the people of Haiti. Some of the group were seasoned travelers while others had never been on a plane, yet all came back transformed in one way or another.
We hope you enjoy their stories, and are encouraged to do your own bit of work, no matter what that might be, to make a difference in the world.

About the Creator
Dr. Katrina Mcneely Farren-Eller: For as long as she can remember, neely, Assistant Professor of English at Upper Iowa University, has always been interested in why people believe what they believe and how they come to do what they do. Ultimately, it is about the ways in which our beliefs affect how we relate to and treat each other, especially others who live so differently than we do. For Neely, traveling and experiencing difference is one of the best ways to question the stories and judgments she tells about herself and others. She has come to find out that what matters most is the humanity we all share in common, not the differences that threaten to divide us.

Pittsburgh Laurels & Lances
Lance: To Pennsylvania State Police. It forced a Butler County man, denied his right to purchase a rifle because his background check erroneously flagged him for having an involuntary hospital commitment for mental issues, to file a lawsuit to correct the record. It's the kind of arrogance that continues to give government a bad name.
Lance: To the Baldwin-Whitehall School Board. It's pretty much clammed up over its legally dubious hiring of a school director who resigned his seat to take a cushy $120,000-a-year job created just for him. The state Department of Education says the hiring was illegal. But don't expect this board to do the right thing. It looks like this matter will have to be settled in court.
Lance: To Allegheny County's proposed capital budget. It contains a $500,000 line item to help bail out the insolvent August Wilson black cultural center. But as County Councilman Michael Finnerty, D-Scott, astutely notes, that's not a capital budget function. Here's hoping its inclusion was a mistake and not an attempt at sneaking and snookering.
An observation: Whether Black Friday has the oomph it once had remains to be seen, what with all the pre-Thanksgiving sales and expanded Thanksgiving Day shopping. But that doesn't mean the still-traditional opening of the Christmas shopping season won't be busy. So, buy some patience with all those presents today. And be careful out there.

Coles's suppliers have complained to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission that the company bullied them into contributing to its $1 billion supply chain project upgrade.
The complaints emerged after Industry Minister
Suppliers have claimed that in the past two weeks, they have been forced to sign up to a new Coles supply chain portal and pay up to 1.5 per cent of the value of their contract with the company to use it.
As a result, they have mounted a campaign to push the ACCC to investigate what the disgruntled suppliers call "bullying tactics" and have urged others to provide anonymous tips to the competition regulator relating to Coles' behaviour.
"None of us have had a choice," said one supplier, who declined to be named.
Another said he was told by Coles that his products would not be promoted if he did not pay the levy.
"I was told don't bring any new lines because they won't be listed – they did not even blink an eyelid," said the supplier.
Coles confirmed that it had sought a contribution from suppliers to use its new portal, but said it would deliver substantial savings to them as well as to the company. The portal would also give suppliers access to information they now did not have to improve their business, such as inventory and production levels and logistic schedules, it said.
"Coles wants to retain and grow all of our trading relationships with suppliers," a company spokesman said.
"Those suppliers who agree to sign up . . . get additional benefits from Coles' investment in supply chain efficiency. We are negotiating with suppliers who want to join . . . about sharing the benefits of the program."
A spokeswoman for Woolworths said it did not require its suppliers to pay for use of its supply chain system.
The disaffected suppliers claim they were given two weeks to sign up to the new portal with little time to consider the cost or implications.
A spokesman for the suppliers, Grant Müller, the editor of FightBack magazine, which is sponsored by IGA, said no one was prepared to speak publicly because they feared repercussions from Coles.
"The suppliers say the fees amount to an additional 1 per cent of costs to the bottom line in industries with already very low margins and it could force them out of business," Mr Müller said.
"If they don't join the supply chain project, then Coles could drop their contracts and force them out of the business anyway."

Jason Derulo & Lady Gaga stop by South Florida on December 31 and on January 2, 2010
Jason Derülo only has a few weeks to put the finishing touches on his opening set for Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour. The "Whatcha Say" singer has been tapped to join the tour starting December 28, and he still hasn't talked to Gaga — who is currently on the road with Semi-Precious Weapons and Kid Cudi — to plan what his part of the show will look like.
"Oh, not yet, man! Not yet. We just both have crazy schedules," he told MTV News at KIIS-FM's Jingle Ball on Saturday in Los Angeles when asked if he's talked to Gaga. "My schedule is so crazy that I had Thanksgiving in Ruby Tuesday's!"
He did say the show would be high-intensity and involve plenty of fancy footwork. "My stage show is really high-energy," he said. "There's a lot of dancing. I've been dancing my entire life. A lot of people don't know how well I dance, because I didn't dance much in the 'Whatcha Say' video, just a little flavor-ish. The 'In My Head' video, I'm definitely going to pull out lots of stuff on that one."
With "Whatcha Say" being such a big hit for the singer, who is set to drop his debut album in early 2010, he's already looking forward to releasing his next single. " 'In My Head' is gonna introduce Jason Derülo a little bit more," he explained. "I'm really excited for people to kind of understand that I really am a music lover and pull from a lot of genres. I'm just a music lover, so that's going to be the product of my album. 'In My Head' has rock guitars, rock drums. It's just really, really exciting."

Billy Bob Thornton Is Making A Film About Angelina Jolie
I'm too young to remember Angelina in the age of Billy Bob [Sigh. — Editor], but of course I've heard the legends: the tattoos, the tumultuous relationship, the blood vial necklaces. As if anyone needs to be reminded, before Angelina was an altruistic philanthropist, she was the baddest of bad girls, and Billy Bob Thornton only served to stoke her fire. They divorced in 2002, and while Angelina never mentions her ex to the press, he's vocal about the fact that he still loves and respects his former love. Interesting it is, then, that Billy Bob has reached out to co-write a film, entitled "And Then We Drove," that will be something of an interpretation of his relationship with Jolie. The film is set to be an "ethereal" story of a man on a road trip who picks up a "wild woman" and takes her along on his journey. I'm not too worried: Angelina was notoriously wanton, but it seems to me like Billy Bob reveres his ex-wife and would do little to incite her. Angelina was more public with her life and struggles during that time, so I don't think there's much we don't know already know about her past… or is there? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

THE sister of a man who died a year ago today has raised almost £2,000 in his memory.
Paul Nixon died from a sarcoma tumour in his leg, just two months after being diagnosed.
His sister, Leah, decided to raise money for Sarcoma UK, a charity that raises awareness of the rare form of cancer.
Earlier this year, Miss Nixon, 23, took part in a sponsored skydive for the charity.
Mum Lynn said: "Leah has finally got all the money in for her skydive and raised a total of £1,881, almost double her target. We're very proud of her and so thankful to everyone who sponsored her in memory of Paul."

I'm very much a kid at heart and love to have stupid fun. I love to laugh and I love everything that's new and improved. It's all about the packaging... I'm very up on style and trends, even though I do love old houses, cars etc. Variety is key to me. If I could live in the city and the country that would be the best, again I love variety.
I have two amazing daughters (21 and 29), both very talented and my best friends. You'll have to pass their test if you want to go out with me.
Married once for 5 years in my 20's and have had 2 major relationships since. The last one ended after 7 years to someone 20 years my junior. I was a cougar before it was popular.
I love photography, running and lifting weights.
I'm not looking for the perfect man, just looking for someone to have a great time with and someone who can make me laugh. If your a stylish dresser that's a huge plus. I'm a very visual person, so the way you look is really important to me. It can be casual as long as it's hot! Being in shape is really important to me and it's more about health. I'm not planning on spending my time on the couch so I need someone who can keep up.
Just message me if there is anything else your curious about.
I'm taking a leap of faith and working on my own photo business.
Movies: Monte Python and the Holy Grail and a ton more. Yes, I'm a rom-com kind of a girl, but also love Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Love animation as well. I really like the behind the scenes and how the movies are made almost more than I like the movie.
Music: An R&B girl at heart, but also like country, hip-hop, some rap, pop, rock, big-band, zydaco, bassa brava, jazz... Allergic to 80's that decade just had bad music and bad fashion. Glad that's over.
Always have to have the latest music on my ipod.
Food: Love food and great restaurants, but currently trying to eat clean most of the week. Became a foodie when I was the Marketing Manager for the culinary team at Google.

Exclusive: "My Investment Paid Off"
Not everything is sweetness and light behind the scenes in San Diego. Steve Forbes has been all too willing in conversations with reporters at the Republican Convention to take credit for Bob Dole's choice of Jack Kemp as well as his embrace of what he calls a Forbesian (some say Kemp-inspired) tax reduction plan. On Monday morning, his visions of grandeur growing by the hour in the glow of the TV lights, Forbes was stepping up his attacks on House Budget Chairman John Kasich, saying that if Kasich thinks eat-your-spinach deficit-cutting is more important than tax-cutting, he is out of sync with the GOP ticket and ought to just sit down on the sidelines. By Monday afternoon, word reached Kasich that Forbes was running around telling people that Kasich ought to be stripped of his chairmanship. An incensed Kasich went straight to Speaker Gingrich and demanded that Newt "tell Forbes to shut up!" No word yet on that particular tete-a-tete. Lamia Abu-Haidar

Lela Rose Spring 2014 Hair and Makeup | Runway Pictures
Lela Rose Masters Whimsical Beauty For Spring
For her Spring 2014 collection, Lela Rose's inspiration came from the architecture of Arne Jacobsen's swan chair, which translated to bold colors on the makeup and a structural updo. "We wanted to design the hair with structure but keep it soft at the same time," said lead stylist Ted Gibson for Beauty.com. The top of the head was kept sleek, while the updo was textured and wispy with pieces of gold leaf dusted on the strands.
Makeup artist Romy Soleimani, using Stila for Beauty.com, stuck with the ethereal vibe using contrasting chartreuse on the lids and a pop of pink on the lips. "I'm definitely seeing acid-y colors for Spring," she said. "Whether it be greens, pinks, or oranges." And the nails also had a pop of color in the form of soft blue. Katie Hughes for Beauty.com used Butter London Lady Muck ($15) to create two nail looks. One with a top coat for a velvet finish, while a second look featured a blue moon to create "floating nail art."

NEWTON, Mass. -- It was a pivotal moment.
The Eagles were pinned deep in their own territory after Wake Forest nose guard Nikita Whitlock blocked a Nate Freese punt and Brandon Chubb recovered the ball at the BC 3-yard line with 52 seconds to go in the half.
The Eagles had built a 17-7 lead, mostly by taking advantage of Wake Forest's mistakes. Now the defense had to keep Tanner Price & Co. out of the end zone and hold them to three points to try to regain some of the momentum that they'd built earlier in the evening.
As Wake Forest lined up, the noise level in Alumni Stadium built up higher and higher.
Don Brown's defense stopped Josh Harris at the 1 on first down, then stood him up for no gain on second down. On third down, Price looked to pass and had a wideout open in the back of the end zone but wasn't able to get it to him, skipping it in as Kasim Edebali came flying at him in the backfield.
That made it fourth-and-goal from the 1, and Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe had a decision to make. Take the field goal and make it a one-score game, or go for the touchdown. He decided to go for the end zone.
BC stacked the line of scrimmage and dug in. The fans got loud. And while Wake Forest had been full of tricks all night, there were none coming on this play. Price handed it off to Harris, who tried to stuff it up the middle. But Mehdi Abdesmad met him in the backfield and slowed him down enough for his teammates to join in and stand him up for no gain.
The Eagles took over on downs, preserved the lead and took back momentum for the second half.
"I was proud of the way our defense played," BC head coach Steve Addazio said after the 24-10 win. "They held that unbelievable goal-line stand, which was really incredibly important for us, obviously. Played real strong all night."
Edebali said the pumped-up crowd, announced at 32,465, helped fuel the defense for that critical series.
"It was amazing," the fifth-year senior captain said. "It was a Friday night game, and the student section was wild. I think the energy that was going on in the stadium went over us. We were creating energy the whole game, we played really tough and physical. And then got after them.
"We executed a little bit better on the goal line. We took a lot of energy and momentum that was created throughout the whole game [and used it] on that goal-line stand."
No one-trick birds of prey, the Eagles made another goal-line stand later in the game, holding the Demon Deacons to a field goal after they had first-and-goal from the BC 4 in the fourth quarter.
But it was that first stand that was most crucial.
"When we blocked the punt at the end of the half, we've got to get that in," Grobe told reporters after the game. "We've got to have a better mentality when we're down there -- and that's us as coaches, that's not the kids. We've just got to do the things that we need to do down in the red zone, especially short-yardage stuff."
For the game, the Eagles held the Demon Deacons to just 246 yards of total offense and 10 points. They forced three turnovers (though Price helped, with two of them coming on fumbles from wayward pitches) and produced two sacks (allowing them to tie their season total of six from 2012 in the first two weeks of 2013).
"Our plan to win starts with playing great defense," Addazio said. "You want to win, you want to build your program, you've gotta play great defense. You've gotta play great defense and you've gotta have a run game."
The Eagles did that, too, on Friday night. Senior tailback Andre Williams had a career-high 204 yards rushing on 35 carries.
"You play great defense when you complement your defense," Addazio said. "One of the good things I think that we're doing, people say 'Oh, you run the ball.' Don Brown's sitting there at the end of the game saying, 'I love what we do.' Because our offense complements your defense."
With the win, BC starts the season 2-0 for the first time since 2010, when the Eagles opened with wins over Weber State and Kent State. It's also the first time the Eagles have won their ACC opener since 2007, when they beat Wake Forest to open the season.
While they'll celebrate the win this weekend, the Eagles aren't close to overconfident. They know it's early. They know they have a stiff test awaiting them next week, when they fly to Southern California to take on No. 25 USC.
"I'm proud of the fact of where we are," Addazio said. "We're 2-0 and that's great. That's great. We're fighting, we're scratching, we're clawing. And that's fantastic, but we've got a lot of work to do."
But after matching their win total from 2012 in the first two weeks of the 2013 season, fighting through adversity to come out on top in both weeks, the Eagles seem to be taking on the personality of their new coaching staff, led by Addazio. They're fighting hard.
And that can only be a good sign for the rest of the season, when the level of play and caliber of opponent picks up.
"I thought the resounding thing here was that we played hard, we played physical, we played like a team," Addazio said. "When one was down, the other was up. We complemented each other. Our kids had great resilience and great will, which I think is critically important. As important as anything right now."
In the pivotal moments of this young season, Addazio's Eagles have passed their tests with flying colors.

Mega Man is one of a select few legacy franchises that has survived since the Nintendo Entertainment System days and is not a Nintendo bred title. There are not a lot of other titles in this group so it is quite an elite list. Mega Man is also a title that has touched nearly every console that reach mainstream success over the years (Capcom did snub a couple here and there). With Mega Man X8 though, Capcom marked the changing of the guard so to speak- Keiji Inafune was not in charge of the blue bomber anymore and a new team took charge.
Featuring gameplay similar to Pandemonium (anyone remember that 32-Bit classic?) with smooth transitions from 2D side scrolling to 3D sections of the level, Mega Man X8 was not a title that was well received. Hovering around the 7/10 mark, while not bad, is not great for a Mega Man game.

(CNSNews.com) - As Katie Couric hosts the CBS Evening News for the last time Thursday night, the Media Research Center has assembled ten of her "most biased moments" on the air.
The list showcases Couric's "infatuation with liberal politicians and her chirpy promotion of left-wing policies."
The Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, notes that Couric's five years at CBS were marked by a liberal agenda and low ratings.
Snippets of Couric's most-biased moments include the following exchange with President Obama: "You're so confident, Mr. President, and so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say, 'Damn, this is hard. Damn, I'm not going to get the things done I want to get done, and it's just too politicized to really get accomplished the big things I want to accomplish'?"

All Android applications categories
by: jcesarmobile • 9
Iago Classic is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board, where White player ( Iago ) fights against Black player ( Othello ) to fill the board with his color.
It's my own version of Othello, Reversi or Yang, the rules are the same, but here White Player moves first.
The object of the game is to have the majority of your color discs on the board at the end of the game.
A move consists of "outflanking" your opponent's disc(s), then flipping the outflanked disc(s) to your color If a player can't place his disc, the game will automatically change the turn.
You can know the turn by the color of the background.
You can play against a friend on the same device or alone vs the machine on 1 player mode.
It has 2 levels of difficulty.
Iago Classic is my own version of the classic game Othello, one of the most famous board/strategy games, also known as Reversi or Yang.
The game starts with a 8x8 board with 2 white stones and 2 black stones.
The White Player start moving and the game ends when there is no moves left (the board is full or one player doesn't have any stones)
It's a game for 2 player, but if you are alone you can practise with the 1 player mode.

Did You Know?
The adverb sic, usually enclosed in brackets, is a word editors use in the reproduction of someone else's speech or writing to indicate that an unexpected form exactly reproduces the original and is not a copier's mistake. Sic comes from Latin, in which it means "so" or "thus." Though it's a useful tool, some usage commentators feel it is bad manners to use a sic to needlessly call attention to someone's error or to deride the language of a less-educated person.
