Mauritian club AS Port Louis 2000 are the first team to qualify for the second round of the Champions League after beating debutants Coin Nord Mitsamiouli of the Comoros Islands 1-0 on Sunday.
The match was decided by just the one tie because Coin Nord's ground in the Comoran capital Moroni is not suitable for international competition.
Coin Nord were beaten 1-0 but the islanders took the game to extra-time and were undone by Mauritian international Giovanni Jeannot's goal two minutes from time in Curepipe.
AS Port Louis 2000 will now meet the winner of Sunday's match between Swaziland's Mbabane Swallows and South African side Orlando Pirates.
Also on Sunday, two-time champions Enyimba of Nigeria suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Gabon's Mangasport while their compatriots Enugu Rangers secured a 2-2 away to Botswana's Police XI, in the first round of their first leg ties.
Former champions Kumasi Asante Kotoko of Ghana got a crucial 1-1 draw away to Cameroon's Aigle Royal Menoua.
The visitors took the lead in the first half through Mike Adu Amofa, before the home side equalised later on.
Another former champions ASEC of Ivory Coast thrashed East End Lions of Sierra Leone 4-0 in Freetown while Zimbabwe's CAPS United staged a remarkable comeback in Bujumbura as they drew 3-3 with Burundi's Inter Stars.
The visitors were 3-0 down with 12 minutes remaining but they rallied and equalised.
CS Sfaxien of Tunisia secured a 3-1 away victory over Niger's AS FNIS while Equatorial Guinea's Renaicemento were held to a goalless draw by Ivorian side Africa Sport.
Meanwhile, Kenya champions Tusker FC look set to make it to the second round of Champions League, with a 3-1 win over Eritrea's Red Sea in Kasarani on Saturday.
Tusker dominated the early exchanges and opened the scoring in the 9th minute through George Midenyo.
The Kenyans then doubled their lead two minutes later thanks to a strike by Nicholas Ochieng.
The Eritreans rallied and got a goal after Binam Fasehaye managed to get the ball past the crowded Kenyan defence at the stroke of half-time.
With only five minutes remaining, Ochieng took advantage of a Red Sea defensive blunder to score the third goal for the home side.
In Saturday's other matches, Young Africans of Tanzania beat Zambia's ZANACO 2-1 while DR Congo club St. Eloi Lupopo beat visiting AS Police of Congo 2-0.
Egyptian club ENPPI travelled to Ethiopia to hold the St. George to a goalless draw.
Police of Uganda also played out to a goalless draw in their home tie against Sudan's Al Hilal.
The first round, second leg matches are scheduled for the weekend of 3-5 March.

Crack Rap: A self-fulfilling prophecy?
To listen to the radio these days, you'd think this was some new halcyon era of crack dealing. Every rapper and his mother is "into distribution." You hear more songs about slinging yay, in fact, than you did during the original crack era of the late '80s/early '90s.
Meanwhile, statistics show that actual crime, including drug dealing, is way down these days. Unless you live in the kind of neighborhood featured in the "awesome" straight-to-DVD film Havoc, you don't see crack vials lining the streets and junkies blowing mothefuckers on the sidewalk like you did back in the day.
That said, I wonder if this current fascination with all things crack might herald the return of rock smoking to America's ghettos. If Young Jeezy and the Clipse can get young jigs to walk around with advertisements for crack on their t-shirts, what's there to say that they can't get them to walk around with actual crack in their pockets?
I rarely venture into America's ghettos myself, for the safety of my car, but it could be the case that this phenomenon is already beginning to take root. We know for a fact that something like 70% of black male high school dropouts are out of a job. They've gotta be doing something to make money, right?
Indeed it was suggested recently, in an op-ed in the New York Times, that rap music is one of the main reasons why young black men are drifting further and further from the mainstream in an era when other groups are making strides. Why waste all that money on a college degree that's not gonna be worth a shit anyway when you can deal crack?
Crack dealers, after all, get a lot of pussy. A brother with a college degree (read debt out the ass), meanwhile? Not as much as you'd like.
Back in the '70s and '80s you had a lot of black dudes dealing drugs because there weren't as many viable ways to make a living. While that's still true to a certain degree, I get the idea that a lot of kids today are getting wrapped up in that shit because it's the thing to do.
Here's hoping they all get raped in prison.

It seems these days that every inanimate object can speak to us. Robotic voices are everywhere, from talking elevators instructing passengers to stand clear of the doors, to cars warning occupants that seat belts should be fastened. On top of all this, there are automated telephone systems that offer us multiple number choices and infuriating recorded options.
"If you have been holding for more than 4 hours and feel you need to go to the bathroom, please press 2"
Obviously, this is an exaggeration, but it makes the point that as companies grow, far from employing more people to talk and interact with their customers, they head off in the opposite direction and put an answer machine on the end of the phone; most of which tend to make callers hang up before the recording has offered them the first set of numbers to choose from.
A talking machine will not sell a product to a potential customer. Not only is it completely lacking a personality, it can't interact with people, it can't share a joke; it's totally incapable of making a caller feel welcome, yet many companies inflict this type of system on the people they want to sell their products to.
It is unfortunate, but all this change is simply the world of commerce evolving and getting ever faster, and although not everyone agrees with it, most of us accept it as being here to stay. So where has the personal touch gone? Thankfully, in smaller businesses, it is usually very much alive and kicking.
The most effective communication tools between companies and customers are people, and increasingly, a growing number of small business owners are realising this and reintroducing the human factor by employing somebody simply to answer the phone.
Customers want to talk to a 'person,' someone who will answer the telephone without instructing them to press 3 if they prefer cream in their coffee or 4 if they take it black! Someone who takes the time to ask the right questions instead of telling them to "press 6 for all other enquiries." People generally like to spend a few minutes
in idle conversation or banter before going on to more important issues, it makes them feel better knowing that someone, and not a machine is listening to what they have to say.
Having a business website is a must for anybody who wants to trade in today's markets, but there also has be a 'human' presence to compliment it. Larger companies above all should start realising this and not hide behind the Internet or their communication systems. It is human nature to want to talk, that is what language is for, and a website or telephone should not be an obstacle to that.

Luna Selene
The USSR captured the first photos of the moon taken from space in 1959 by the Luna 3 probe. 46 years ago today, the Soviet space program also achieved the very first soft landing on the moon, with Luna 9.
Earthlings have sent 94 spacecraft to the Moon with various orbiting, landing or sampling goals: 43 from Russia, 45 from the USA, 2 from Japan, 2 from China, and 1 each from Europe and India. Mission success rate is about 58%. Sixteen more missions are planned.
Today's average laptop contains 12 times more computing power than was used to land two men on the Moon in 1969.
The Greek word mēnē branched into the Latin mensis, Germanic mōna and Middle English mone -- eventually becoming "moon" in modern English. From these roots, we also derive the related words "month" and "menstrual."
The Greek moon goddess, Selene, was called Luna by the Romans. Most things associated with the Moon are still referred to as lunar.
This root also gave rise to the words lunacy and lunatic, indicating folkloric link between moon phases and madness, perhaps because cyclical symptoms of some illnesses led to belief that the Moon influenced the sufferers. However, in Russian and Slovak language families, a "lunatic" simply refers to a sleep-walker.
Researchers reviewed police stations calls, homicides, psychiatric consultations and ER visits, but found no consistent relationship with lunar changes. Nonetheless, a 1995 poll found that 43% of people still believed superstitions about how the Moon phases alter behavior.
You've heard terms like Blue Moon, Harvest Moon or Hunter's Moon – but how about Wildcat Moon? Kindly Moon? Moon of Horses? Many names given by various cultures indicate appearance of our satellite, weather during particular phases, seasonal human activities, animal behavior -- even the best time to catch fish!
Here are all the Full Moon Names for calendar year 2012.

HARRIS-HUNTERS-L ArchivesArchiver > HARRIS-HUNTERS > 2008-03 > 1204489324
From: Carol Barron <>
Subject: [HARRIS-HUNTERS] Thomas Jr. & Harrison Harris
Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 14:22:04 -0600
I believe the 1747 Amelia Tithable list (below) indicates father &
possibly two sons--Thomas Harris, Thomas Harris, Jr. & Harrison
Harris...altho I keep wondering why the name of Tho. doesn't come down
thru Harrison's immediate line. My Tho. Harris Jr. died 1782 Orange Co.
VA w/previous records showing he formerly lived in Louisa Co. 1763-66.
Harrison Harris is found in records of Goochland & Louisa Co. & migrated
to early frontier Kentucky in the mid-late 1780's where he left his will
in 1795 Woodford Co., KY. Need DNA from Harrison Harris line. My DNA
line is from Tho. Jr.'s son Lewis Harris in Group 8.
Children of Thomas Harris Jr. d 1782 & wife Sabra: Lindsay Harris (m
Atkins), Thomas Harris (m Gardner), John Harris (no info.), Lewis
Harris(m 2) Smith), Elizabeth Harris (m James Payne), Mary Harris (m
Lewis Walker).
Children of Harrison Harris d 1795: Nathaniel, Randolph, David, Susanna
(m Caldwell), Elizabeth (m Hicks/Hix), Mourning (m Adams).
So, judging by the below tithables, looks as tho both Tho. Jr & Harrison
are tithable age which would put their birth ca 1720-30'ish with Tho.
Sr's birth ca pre-1700.
The Edward Harris w/slaves Major & Madam in the tithables below left his
1747 Amelia Co. will naming his son, Nathaniel, also attached below.
Does anyone have this Nathaniel Harris of Amelia Co. VA?

Woman becomes first person to get a tattoo of former EastEnders star Lucy Benjamin's face on her calf, regrets it pretty quicklyLeave a comment
February 21, 2014 by kitcac
For years, no-one has believed me when I spoke about "that woman who had a tattoo of Lucy Benjamin on her leg." They thought I had suffered a bump to the head, such was the chance of such a thing being true.
I cut the article out of the Metro in 2003 and stuck it on my wall at work. It made me happy on a daily basis, I don't know why. But then I changed jobs and I woefully regret not taking that article with me. I currently have a photofit of Ken Morley on my wall but it just doesn't hit the spot in the same way.
I spoke of the tattoo several times over the last few weeks (each time getting disbelieving looks) and it must have been a bit like "If you build it, they will come" cos hecky flip she is real! And back in the Metro!
Thank you baby Jesus! Now people will realise I don't invent urban legends for kicks! She is REAL! Praise be!
Emma Smith is now having laser surgery to remove the tattoo (Picture: Endemol/Channel 4)
This is Emma and she is almost definitely the only person on this planet to have a tattoo of Lucy Benjamin's face on her calf.
For most of us, Lucy Benjamin is just the woman who played Phil Mitchell's lady friend in EastEnders for a while. She appeared in the gossip mags for a bit afterwards because she did a salsa DVD and the celebrity jungle programme, but that was about it.
But for Emma Smith, Lucy Benjamin is so much more; she's an inspiration. And also a tattoo.
In 2003 the actress was starring as the princess in the Aladdin pantomime at Southampton's Mayfair Theatre.
Emma went along to see the show and as they say, 'the rest is history.'
Unmistakeable: Emma's tattoo is the spitting image of Lucy Benjamin (Picture: Endemol/Channel 4)

270-degree movie screen might be coming to a theater near you
While all the talk about 3D movies has dominated the movie-going experience in recent years, theaters are experimenting with 270-degree movie screens.
A South Korean cinema chain has developed movie viewing that literally surrounds you with the film by putting the movie on three separate "screens" that wrap around the theater.
While filming such a movie is a hassle because directors have to point cameras in three different directions, the experience of having the action surrounding you as you sit in a seat is pretty cool – and might end up being the future of cinema.

Re: Weird result in Mathematica 6
Actually nevermind my previous post. If one adds i (as I should have)
then Mathematica does not appear to have a problem. So
Simplify[Im[x], Assumptions -> (x - x\[Conjugate])/\[ImaginaryI] > 0]
returns Im[x] as it should. So in this case Mathematica recognises

2008 Mercedes-Benz S550 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2008 Mercedes-Benz S550 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The HVAC blower motor may fail. This is commonly caused by water entry through the cabin air filter areas during heavy rain or snow. Failed blower motors should be replaced. Our technicians tell us there is no special fix for this issue at this time.
As a way to increase braking performance, the brake pads and rotors are make of a softer material and may be in need of replacement after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
The engine may develop a stalling and/or no start condition due to a failed crankshaft position sensor.
The Mercedes Benz S550 may have engine oil seeping or leaking from the back of the cylinder heads. This is commonly misdiagnosed as leaking valve covers.
On the back of the cylinder heads there are three, in total, plastic expansion plugs that plug access ports to the camshafts. These plugs are well known for seeping oil, and leaking if left unattended. The oil will run down the back of the engine and eventually make it to the ground.
Replacement of these three plastic plugs is extremely simple, and should be done as regular maintenance. The recommended interval for replacement is every 60,000 miles.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.

My Ride: 325ci M sport coupe
2004 E46 325ci sport - constant humming noise
Hey Guys,
This is a first post for me on here, its a tad long and i apaolgise. For the past 2 years, i have had an annoying electrical type humming noise that developed on my car that would change pitch and tone with everything in the car including turning the steering slightly to using the window switches. I had various replies previously from members on another site last year who advised a change of power steering fluid to possibly correct the problem - this was done and it was still there. I eventually took the car to my BMW main dealers who had the car for a few days and agreed that they could here the noise, so a brand new genuine PAS pump, pulley, belt, and modified hose were fitted - but to no avail. The diagnosis was then given to be the 'characteristics of the engine' funny this, considering that this noise was never present for the first two weeks of owning the car. Anyway - i lived with this noise for all this time and i eventually got hacked off with it, so i tried to investigate it myself. Whilst driving the car, it sounds like the old austin metro (or a route master bus if your UK based) and then when idling - the normal persistant humming noise is there. So i got a friend to do two passes past me with both the clutch enagaed and disengaged - car sounds beautiful and quiet. Once my friend pulls up, i get inside and i hear the usual noise on idling and driving. Only the road noise covers it up. So i decided this was definatly something interior related (or can be heard inside) and i traced the exact same noise to around the steering cowling. I put a screwdriver against the plastic and my ear against the screwdriver, and that noise can be heard as though its coming from inside - also its confined to that area. before i start ripping it apart, does anyone have any clues as to what this is? Or what electrical (if it is electrical) is behind hear? or even if someone has had this problem.
Many Thanks guys

The Hill, January 22, 2013
President Obama used his inaugural address Monday to defend popular but expensive entitlement programs, including Medicare. Obama said it is imperative to reduce healthcare costs, but he made clear that he's not on board with Republican plans to dramatically cut Medicare and Medicaid. Entitlement programs "do not make us a nation of takers," Obama said, rejecting part of the principle underlying the push to cut entitlements, particularly Medicaid.

Testimonials from My Clients
"Before Heather even became a doula I knew she was the one friend I wanted with me in the delivery room! Her calm demeanor, bright & cheery outlook, and infectious smile are the perfect combination... she was such an encouraging support during my first delivery there was absolutely no hesitation on my part to include her for my second. I am so glad that she was there with me both times, and I am certain that my husband was too! Thank you, Heather, for such wonderful birthing experiences!" Jeremy, Jen & Babies Joella & Ben (June 13, 2004, April 19, 2006)
"Having a doula present at my childbirth was very important to my husband and I. During my initial doula interviews, I knew from the start that Heather was the doula for us. She was very personable and enthusiastic and I knew that she would help us achieve our goals for the birth. We live in Cordova so we didn't get to meet Heather until 3 weeks prior to my due date. Still, we felt completely comfortable and confident with our decision. The birth of our daughter was the most amazing experience I've ever had. My husband and Heather were the perfect team to coach me through the entire process. Jim, who knows me so well as an individual, knew nothing about childbirth and what I was going through. And Heather, who didn't know me well as an individual, had lots of experience with childbirth, both as a mother and a doula. The two of them together had all the knowledge needed to guide me and assist me. Heather was fully aware of my wishes and desires and she was amazing at helping me achieve that. From Jim's perspective, he feels that his experience was enhanced because Heather could offer him advice on how to help me. He never once felt that having her there took away from his role as my coach. Heather is a very special person to be able to do the job that she does. It takes a lot of energy and dedication. Jim and I are forever grateful for her being there for us." Jim, Signe & Baby Ingrid (Oct 8, 2007)
"From a new dad's perspective, having Heather there with us during my wife's labor and delivery was a godsend. When my wife first mentioned wanting to hire a doula, I will admit being a little skeptical. I wasn't sure how I would feel about having someone else there, if I'd feel at all pushed aside, or if it would just be "weird". When the time came, however, I was so very thankful to have Heather there. She was an extremely valuable resource, not only helping my wife through the experience, but showing me what I could do to help, and offering us all of her knowledge and expertise throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Heather to my family and friends who were looking for someone experienced, caring, and knowledgeable about helping to welcome their new baby into the world!" Shaun, Sara & Baby Isaac (May 6, 2008)
"Wow! I don't know where to start on how to thank you for the fantastic job you did for us. We are so very thankful for your words of encouragement, the back and foot rubs (they worked!) and all your positive, positive words." Michael, Colette & Baby Graham (June 4, 2008)
"Thank you for your support and care during Greta's birth. We were so happy to have you there. It truly made a difference in making the experience wonderful (and a lot less scary!). Many thanks!" Mark, Kristy & Baby Greta (January 3, 2008)

We construct a modi¯ed secret key, a modi¯ed decryption algorithm and a subset of the ciphertext
space. When the ciphertext is from the subset, we can correctly decrypt it by our modi¯ed secret key
and modi¯ed decryption algorithm. We also discuss when our modi¯ed decryption algorithm is e±cient,
and when the subset is not negligible.
In this paper, we propose two aggregate signature schemes based on the Camenisch-Lysyanskaya signature scheme that sufficiently satisfy the conditions of real applications. At first, we construct an efficient sequential aggregate signature scheme and prove its security under the LRSW assumption without random oracles. The proposed scheme has the shortest size of public keys among the sequential aggregate signature schemes and very short size of aggregate signatures. Additionally, the aggregate verification of this scheme is very efficient since it only requires constant number of pairing operations and $l$ number of exponentiations where $l$ is the number of signers in an aggregate signature. Next, we construct an efficient synchronized aggregate signature scheme and prove its security under the LRSW assumption in the random oracle model. The proposed scheme has very short size of public keys and the shortest size of aggregate signatures among the synchronized aggregate signature schemes. The signing and aggregate verification is also very efficient since these requires constant number of pairing operations and $l$ number of exponentiations.
Furthermore, a signer of our aggregate signature schemes can use two mode of aggregation ``sequential\'\' and ``synchronized\'\' at the same time just using the same private key and the public key since the private keys and the public keys of two schemes are the same.

Are you running a NAT or Proxy of some kind on your server? Double NAT

PHILADELPHIA - After five seasons as the head coach of the University of Pennsylvania lightweight rowing team, Nick Baker announced on Thursday that he will officially resign from the position at the end of the 2014 season.
"It's with a heavy heart that I have made the decision to leave my position here at the University of Pennsylvania," Baker said. "Over the past five years, I've had the opportunity to work with some of the best people in the world here at Penn as well as in the rowing community on Boathouse Row. I believe this decision is best for not only myself but for the betterment of the lightweight rowing program."
Baker took over the Penn lightweights in the Fall of 2009 and in his first spring season with the Quakers, the Red and Blue enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in recent years. The varsity won its first race under his guidance and continued to improve from there. The Red and Blue nearly captured the Matthews-Leonard Cup for the first time in 20 years - losing on a photo finish. The team's progress also shined through on a national level as the Quakers finished sixth at Eastern Sprints to reach the IRA Regatta for the first time in three years. At the national championships, the Quakers posted the program's best finish since 2005, placing seventh.
Most recently, in 2013, the Quakers claimed the Callow Cup for the first time in 13 years and returned to the IRA's where they finished first in the petite final and seventh overall. In addition, the Penn freshman boat went undefeated against the Ivy League and earned a medal at EARC Sprints for the first time since 1990.
This year, the Quakers will compete in the Eastern Sprints on May 18 with a chance to reach the IRA's in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the current form of IRA championship qualifying began.
A national search for Baker's replacement will begin immediately. Assistant coach Colin Farrell will take over as interim head coach at season's end.

Australia's medium-term inflation risk is greatly reduced, but the risk of higher unemployment has increased, just as unions are flexing the new muscle given to them by the Gillard government's industrial relations reforms.
The December-quarter consumer price index confirms that underlying inflation is in the centre of the Reserve Bank of Australia's target range, but the sharp fall in employment in December suggests the labour market could be more vulnerable to Europe's economic crisis than previously thought.
Already the Treasury is forecasting a sustained rise in the unemployment rate to about 5.5 per cent, and it is not difficult to imagine circumstances in which the plateau could be 6 per cent or more.
The outlook for inflation and the labour market has changed dramatically in the past few months.
In the first half of last year, the concern was that the decline in the underlying inflation rate from its peak of 4.5 per cent in 2008 was coming to an end. Inflation was expected to rise gradually over the next couple of years.
The forces driving this deterioration in the inflation outlook are summarised by the economists at Deloitte Access Economics in their latest Business Outlook report: "For some time now forecasters (including ourselves and the Reserve Bank) have projected that inflation would start to rise again. The reasoning was simple: First, unless the $A kept climbing, the dampening impact of currency appreciation on inflation would run its course. Second, continuing economic recovery would see both businesses and workers regain some pricing power, thereby adding to wage growth and to profit margins. Finally, Australia's poor productivity performance meant that the buffer provided to inflation risks by rising efficiency was disappearing."
Wages were in the process of accelerating towards annual growth of nearly 4 per cent as a sequel to a fall in unemployment to a low of 4.9 per cent in the first half of 2010.
That growth was not particularly high by historical standards, but combined with Australia's very weak labour productivity growth, unit labour costs looked seriously out of kilter with the RBA's inflation target. Even when adjustment was made for the temporary slump in productivity as a result of the Queensland floods, labour costs were rising too quickly to keep inflation within the RBA's 2 per cent to 3 per cent target range.
The next move by interest rates, it seemed, would be up.
But then the situation in Europe and, to a lesser extent, the US, deteriorated sharply, with a resounding effect on confidence in Australia and elsewhere. At the same time, Australian producers of internationally traded goods and services were confronted with a further rise in Australia's real effective exchange rate.
This measure of the exchange rate is a critical measure of our competitiveness. For miners, whose foreign prices were rising with the exchange rate, this further real appreciation was an irritation. But for manufacturers, tourism and everyone else producing internationally traded services, it was a disaster.
As well as a high dollar, Australian producers faced depressed export markets and a world awash with spare capacity.
Employment growth, which peaked in the second half of 2010, turned negative in the last few months of 2011. Some increase in the unemployment rate was inevitable. As always, the slowdown was felt first by unskilled new entrants to the labour market, and it will be they who make up most of the increase in unemployment when it comes. If the problem is prolonged, many will be at risk of sliding into debilitating long-term unemployment.
The RBA estimates the economy is growing at about its trend rate and, in its November monetary policy statement, forecast growth in 2012 of about 4 per cent. As a result, the unemployment rate was expected to increase "a little before moving lower again, to around its current level" of about 5.2 per cent. Treasury, in its midyear forecasts, was slightly less optimistic about the unemployment rate, which was forecast to still be 5.5 per cent in mid-2013.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/3/2014 (1237 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI) has received a $1-million boost from Viterra Inc. that will serve as a springboard in its efforts to re-capitalize one of the jewels of the Canadian agricultural industry.
Kyle Jeworski, CEO for North America of Regina-based Viterra -- the bulk of which was acquired last year by the Swiss commodities firm Glencore Xstrata Plc -- said the $1-million, no-strings-attached contribution is an investment, not a donation.
The only concrete effect of the million-dollar largesse will be the naming of large meeting room at CIGI's Main Street facility as the Viterra Knowledge Centre.
Industry sources say if a company such as Viterra is willing to make such a commitment, it signifies the value CIGI has to the industry.
CIGI is a not-for-profit organization that works with all the agricultural industry stakeholders to promote the best utilization of Canadian field crops. Among other things it operates a flour mill, pasta plant, bakery and Asian noodle plant in its downtown Winnipeg facility.
It also provides customized training programs and technical expertise for customers around the world.
Over that last 12 months, it delivered more than 44 programs to more than 1,200 people from 35 different countries.
But its funding reality changed dramatically with the end of the Canadian Wheat Board's marketing monopoly in 2012 and Earl Geddes, its CEO, said the organization has now outgrown its facilities and is being forced to turn away work.
Geddes said Tuesday's announcement of the Viterra investment is the first of what he hopes will be more to come. He said CIGI has not yet finalized its plans or gone out to the industry looking for capital but it's getting ready to.
Viterra approached CIGI on its own volition
"This is a tremendous boost for is to move the momentum forward on this," Geddes said. "There will be pitches to others. It has not started yet. But there are a couple of long-term partners we are talking to about different things."
One of the things Geddes and his board are talking about is the possibility of relocating to a new facility to deal with under-capacity issues and some outdated technology. He said it would likely cost between $10 million and $12 million to do that and there are several options currently being considered.
There had been talk in the past about an the creation of an ambitious centre of excellence co-housing several agricultural research facilities, possibly located at the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry campus.
But the talk on Tuesday centred on CIGI remaining downtown.
Mayor Sam Katz, on hand for the Viterra announcement, referred to CIGI as an "invaluable asset" and one of the city's best-kept secrets.
CentreVenture CEO Ross McGowan was also in the room for the announcement, further signalling the general intentions to keep the facility downtown.
In the past, CIGI received about 40 per cent of its funding from the Canadian Wheat Board. That money has largely been replaced by project funding from the federal-provincial cost-shared Growing Forward 2 program and a check-off program of 15 cents per tonne of all Prairie wheat sold.
Since the restructuring of the wheat board, Geddes said CIGI has been doing much more fee-for-service work with the private sector and the demand has been growing much faster than the 40-person facility has been able to cope with.
Jeworski said that's why Viterra was keen to take a leadership role.
"We looked at how we have utilized CIGI and the value it has brought to the company and the industry," Jeworski said. "We need to support CIGI in a very meaningful way. This gives CIGI good footing for them to continue to deliver the services we think are invaluable to the industry."

Working with the artist
From the beginning, Dean and I both had very strong notions about what kind of art this book should have. Some of the children's comics we'd seen were very cartoon-y or heavily manga-influenced, neither style appealing to our sensibilities and our sense of this story. Others use very spare drawings, and that style wouldn't fully take advantage of the Hollywood Era Old West we wanted to invoke. We spent a lot of time in comic book stores, searching for illustrators. It's the publisher's prerogative to choose an illustrator, but we thought we'd send a list of artists we liked to my editor so she could get the sense of what we were going for.
Around the same time, I was collecting signed books from other Utah writers for a Christmas-time charity. One of the books I received was called "The Devil You Know," written and illustrated by Nathan Hale. I liked it immensely and so did Dean. We had it on our kitchen counter for a week, and one day while Dean was flipping through it, he said, "You know, from his style, I think this artist would be a good comic book artist."
I emailed Nate Hale (no relation). We'd met briefly at a conference the year before, but I didn't know him well. Here's our email conversation, slightly trimmed:
Hey Nathan,
I was just looking at your wonderful The Devil You Know and I was wondering, are you a comic book fan? Would you enjoy doing a graphic novel? I'm asking because I'm pitching a children's graphic novel to Bloomsbury and I want to provide the names of a few artists I'd recommend for the project. It'd be a mega-project - 130 illustrated pages, so quite a commitment. Would you be interested to have your name in the ring?
Hi Shannon,
I'm glad you like my Devil book--I was thinking it would be a great tree-topper, you know, in place of the traditional angel.
I'd love to be part of your pitch! If you want to see some graphic novel style stuff I've done, look at page five of my portfolio at www.shannonassociates.com
What kind of story are you doing?
(Shannon replies)
The story is Rapunzel in an Old West setting. In her tower, she trains herself to use her braids as lassos and whips. When she breaks free, she becomes a vigilante heroine, seeking to crush the witch's evil tyranny.
Something we did recently when pitching a graphic novel to DC was have an artist friend illustrate the first two pages, help the editor get a visual, just in b&w. We don't need to do that, but if you'd like to have a stab at it, I could send you some sample pages.
(Nate replies)
This week I'm eyeball deep in work, I'm doing a big painting of Paleo-Indians field dressing a mastadont. I've been painting fur for six hours today...But next week I'm starting a part-time holiday job. I'm going to be working a kiosk at the mall. Don't laugh. In my experience, nobody talks to those kiosk workers, so I'm hoping I'll be able to work on drawings while making a few extra holiday bucks. I can't take big paintings in, only little, page-sized jobs. That's where I'd like to do your sample pages, if you're interested.
If Rapunzel gets too muscle-bound, I might not be your guy. I definitely wouldn't get hired at D.C. But skinny girls, using hair-lassoes in the Old West--sign me up.
The next day I sent Nate three sample pages from the script we were working on. About four hours later, he sent me this sketch of Rapunzel.
copyright Nathan Hale 2007
It was PERFECT. Clearly, Nate was as excited about the Rapunzel Old West idea as we were, and there's nothing better than an artist excited about a project, except maybe a BRILLIANT artist excited about the project (so two points for Nate!). A couple of weeks later (the kiosk was good to Nate) he'd done character sheets on Jack, Rapunzel, Mother Gothel, Brute, as well as a world map and three sample pages of script, fully colored and gorgeous. I had no doubt once my editor saw them, she wouldn't want to use any other artist. And of course, she didn't. When she made us an offer on the book, Nate was was part of the gig.
Nate is an amazing artist, but in my experience, that's not enough to make it as an illustrator. He's got gumption, he's got moxie, he's got obsessive commitment. Rapunzel was a huge project. In the comic book industry, you have a penciler, inker, colorist, and letterer--four separate people creating the final images, and often many more. Nate was doing it all. He penciled, inked, and colored a 140-page, full color comic and did it in about eight months. That's crazy. He was working 16-hour days, weekends, barely seeing his wife, toddler and baby, working from a chair in the Orem, Utah library. Mindy Hale, Nate's wife, helped out by doing the word balloons and caption boxes, a huge job done brilliantly. So count 'em, that's FOUR Hales involved on this book. A regular Hale family party!
[Warning, SPOILERS in the next paragraph]
Any great comics artist is also a gifted storyteller, since the pictures help tell the story. Nate is brilliant. It was so fun for us to see his penciled pages, see how he took our script and description of what was happening and added to it to make it even more exciting, more gorgeous. For example, in an early draft, we had Rapunzel in just a boring old tower. Nate had the idea to make it a tree, which made SO much more sense, given Gothel's power with growth magic, besides also being much more cool visually.
He loved the boar in the part 1 and said, "Give me more creatures!" Nate started out as a natural history painter, doing big murals in museums, and is genius with creatures. So we altered our concepts a bit when we wrote the rest of the script, having Rapunzel fight the coyotes and the giant snake instead of bandits. Originally, we had the beanstalk just grow in Gothel's garden behind the villa, being a mostly "distracting" distraction. Nate had the idea of having the beanstalk grow up through the villa, transforming it into a magnificent, shuddering treehouse. There are many other examples of innovations he had, but I'm afraid I can't remember them. I'd have to go back to the script and look to see what we wrote and how Nate made it better. At this point, the ideas of three separate storytellers have so merged we can't remember who thought of what anymore.
It's a little scary to turn your baby over to an illustrator and let him take over. Dean and I couldn't be more ecstatic about how it turned out. No disappointments here, only grateful praise. A tip of my cowgirl hat to the brilliant artist. All hail Nate Hale! Here here!

FLORENCE – Five Francis Marion University staff members with nearly 125 years of combined service to the university are retiring at the end of the fall 2000 semester.
The retirees are N. Casey Frederick, senior vice president for administration and finance; Alice C. Baker, assistant vice president for human resources; Donald E. Pierce, director of information resources management; Jerome Johnson, lead custodian supervisor for projects; and Eliza B. Crawford, lead custodian.
Both Frederick and Baker have been employed by the university since it was founded in 1970. Frederick came to FMU as director of purchasing, later becoming business manager and vice president for administration.
"It's been a wonderful experience; it's been a challenge," Frederick said of his time at FMU. He said he is thankful for "the opportunity to have hands-on experience in building a university."
Frederick was instrumental in establishing several campus facilities, such as the university bookstore and the library. "I remember when that was a cotton field," he said of the spot where the library stands. The Asheville, N.C., native earned a bachelor's degree from Mars Hill College and a master's degree from Appalachian State University. He was an instructor of business administration at both Mars Hill and Western Carolina University before coming to FMU.
Even though he is retiring from Francis Marion, Frederick is not quite ready to stop working and has accepted a position with Pee Dee Electric Cooperative. "It's been a good three decades," he said.
Baker has also been at the university since its inception. "My first day of work was the first day of Francis Marion: July 1, 1970," she recalled. She started as a secretary and became director of personnel, before assuming her current position. Baker describes the changes at the university as "miraculous." The only buildings present when she started were the Wallace House, which is now the president's home, and a small building that now houses Office Services.
The biggest change she has witnessed in the human resources office is that years ago "you could work with an employee without worrying whether there was a rule or regulation."
Her professional affiliations include service as a board member of the College and University Personnel Association Foundation. She received the association's Outstanding Service Award for the Southern Region in 1986. Under Baker's leadership, the FMU Office of Human Resources was presented the 1995 Insurance Benefits Recognition Program Award by the state Office of Insurance Services.
The Pamplico native attended Meredith College and Kings College and worked as a secretary at First Union National Bank in Charlotte before returning to the area to work at Francis Marion. Baker said she has no concrete plans for her retirement, but may travel and do volunteer work.
Pierce's affiliation with FMU also dates back to the university's beginnings, when the computer company he was then working for was contracted to do data processing and programming for the new school. "I've only been employed here for 14 years, but I've been dealing with the university for 30," he said.
The department Pierce heads handles administrative computer services, telecommunications and payroll. He said it is fascinating that students have gone from "registering for classes on punch cards to registering on the Internet. We've come a long way."
The Indianapolis, Ind. native attended Columbia College, and his wife, Ruth, was a member of the first class at Francis Marion. All three of the couple's sons have attended FMU as well.
As far as retirement plans, Pierce said, "I have two years of deferred maintenance around the house and a golf game that needs serious work."
Eliza B. Crawford of Florence has worked as a custodian at Francis Marion for 22 years. Through the years, she has worked to keep campus buildings clean, including the Smith University Center, Founders Hall and Cauthen Educational Media Center.
In her retirement, she plans to visit relatives in New York and continue to exercise. "I enjoyed working at Francis Marion," she said. "I worked around some of the best staff."
Jerome Johnson has served the university for 26 years. As lead custodian supervisor for projects, one of his responsibilities is supervising set-up for special events on campus. The Marion native said he plans to take time to visit family members in his retirement.
When asked what he'll miss most about Francis Marion, Johnson echoed the other four retirees: "I'll miss the people."

A senior public prosecutor who specialises in fighting money laundering and corruption is 'assisting'' anti-triad police in a top-level probe into the handling of evidence in a fraud trial.
Assistant director of public prosecutions Gavin Shiu was spoken to by detectives from the organised crime and triad bureau late last week.
It is understood Shiu's secretary was also interviewed, along with other department staff. No one from the department has been arrested but police seized computer material.
'No staff of the Department of Justice have been arrested. However, we can confirm that on June 7 staff of the department assisted the police in an investigation. As the investigation is ongoing, it is not appropriate for us to comment any further,' said a departmental spokeswoman.
It is understood the District Court fraud trial, which involves allegations of misuse of letters of credit, was adjourned last month because of missing evidence.
A police spokesman declined to comment, but a source close to the investigation said: 'It involves a longstanding letters-of-credit fraud case in the District Court and suggestions of improper influence. The investigators are looking at how certain files were handled. '
Shiu has more than 20 years' experience as a lawyer and joined the ranks of Hong Kong's prosecution service in 1994.
He was promoted to senior crown counsel in 1995 and to senior assistant director of public prosecutions in 2003.
His expertise as a prosecutor is in corruption and commercial crime cases, and he has extensive experience in the appeal courts.
Shiu previously headed the department's asset recovery unit, responsible for confiscating and restraining criminal assets.

I feel like on lazy sundays like today, it gives you the right to dress a little more relaxed and a tad bit more street than just the two chains you'd usually wear on a day-to-day basis. Bring out the oversized hoodies, puffer jackets, low slung jeans and Air Jordan's and say hello to dressing like
Rita Ora you-wish-you-were-from-Brooklyn. This may be a reoccurring theme ever since my 2 glorious weeks spent living in a cute apartment in Brooklyn, commuting to Manhattan and people watching while on the subway. So here is my take at street style: **snapback optional
Elie Tahari pants paired back with my go-to J.W Anderson x Aldo white heels
|Sportsgirl Sunglasses, vest and singlet, Elie Tahari pants, Marni cuff, J.W Anderson x Aldo heels and Brooklyn Nets cap.
I must admit, after watching Jay-Z's 'Where I'm From' documentary while packing up my things for New jersey, I did then hop in the shower and crank Empire State of Mind and possibly rap like I was Jay-Z too. But sshhh, that part no one else knows.

Which bug is this? 1. The inode eating bug This is caused by a (fixed) bug in the .../linux/fs/posix_acl.c file. I could send you a patch for just this bug if you are interested. (You would need to recompile the kernel afterwards of course). 2. The umask/default acl bug This bug involves several files (5 I think). Again, I have cut out just this change as a patch and could send it to you. You can get around this bug on your Samba server, I think, by setting your umask to 777, the default ACL to rwxrwxrwx and then letting Samba control the permissions with 'create mask' and 'create mode'. > > When there will be a new stable release that fixes it? > I presume the fix is on CVS, but i'd rather wait for the next stable > release in which, i presume, that problem will disappear. The fixes are in the CVS tree. It's up to the SGI folks to determine when the next release will be. There are also some fixes in the Samba CVS tree that should make XFS ACL support more useful. > BTW, when that day comes, i suppose i won't have to re-format the > partition, right? Did you reformat the partition to support XFS this time? If you have already formatted the partition to be XFS, I think it would be pretty unlikely you will need to reformat later. From what I can gather, the IRIX XFS format has been around long enough that they (SGI) want to maintain the format. > Just compile the kernel with that new release and things will work well, > right?

UK teenagers Ryan Cleary, 19, and Jake Davis, 18 have admitted their involvement in the LulzSec hacker group.
The two have pleaded guilty to charges they attacked a number of high profile websites including the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA).
Two others from the group – Ryan Ackroyd, 25, and an unnamed 17-year-old denied the charges.
LulzSec appeared in May 2011, as a splinter group of the Anonymous hacker group.
They have launched multiple DDoS attacks against websites, choking them with traffic as well as uploading prank stories on news sites. It claimed responsibility for an attack on The Sun's website which placed an article reporting that News International boss Rupert Murdoch had died.
Cleary is also in hot water with the authorities in the US where he is accused attacks on websites including the US X Factor to deface them and steal personal details.
The trial is set for April 2013, and while the other three have been released on bail, Cleary has been denied bail after breaching a previous internet usage ban.

I'm not much for fundamentals, but the story these charts are telling is clear. Technical signs identified by my Trending123 Pattern Scan powered by Recognia are pointing to drops ahead for two social media darlings: Facebook (FB) and Zynga (ZNGA).
Downside Breakout in FB
Click to EnlargeFacebook's price broke downward out of the trading range that began in late March, suggesting we're entering a new downtrend. The downside breakout pattern represents a trading range in which prices move sideways between two parallel horizontal lines. It's often a pause or congestion area within an existing trend, though sometimes the breakout results in a reversal to the prior trend. Either way, a downside breakout through the lower support line signals an end to the consolidation period and the start of a downtrend.
Recommendation: Short FB for a $20.90 – $21.70 target.
Diamond Top in ZNGA
Click to EnlargeThe price seems to have reached a top, showing signs of reversal as it has broken downward after a period of uncertainty or consolidation. The diamond top pattern begins during an uptrend as prices create higher highs and lower lows in a broadening pattern. Then the trading range gradually narrows after the highs peak and the lows start trending upward. When the price breaks downward out of the diamond's boundary lines, as it just did Friday and today, it marks a significant reversal to a new downtrend.
Recommendation: Short ZNGA for a $2.75 – $2.85 target.

By: Jack Hendricks How Have Cell Phones Changed Our Society? Mobility Back in the 1970's cell phones were not even invented.
If you wanted to talk on the phone with somebody, you
would either have to use your home phone, or a payphone.
But when cellphones were created you could make calls to anyone, from anywhere. Cellphones were especially good for emergencies. For an example if you needed to call and get somebody to a place right away. Smart Phones But Cellphones Aren't all Perfect Many kids spend lot's of times on their cellphones, and less time outdoors. This leads people to believe that cell phones are a major contributing factor to obesity in America.
Also the whole idea of texting has brought a whole new form of bullying into play. The End I hope you liked my presentation,

This activity used simple ingredients that we already had on hand and made for a fun hands-on activity that kept the 2-4 year-olds engaged in letter formation.
For this activity, we used:
construction paper
white school glue
My little guys are fascinated by letters right now and love to write and watch me write. To start this activity, I sat down with the kids and wrote each of their names. As I formed each letter, I explained how to write them. I love how Jaime from Happy Hooligans explains this process. I laughed at her description of stretching out her words because that's exactly what it sounds like.
For example: "A - dowwwnn, dowwwn, accroosss. V - straight line dowwwn, and uuuuuup, E - straight line acrooooosss, up and aaaaroound.
Then, the kids identified which name was theirs and we got ready for the glue. As I traced each letter with the glue, we explained again how to form each letter. This time the kids joined in on some of the ones that they remembered.
Once all of their letters were traced, the kids got to work forming each of their letters with marshmallows. They worked very hard to place their marshmallows to cover each part of their letters and were so proud when their names showed up covered in "snowballs". Of course, we ate the rest of our snowballs as an added treat.
For more name recognition activities, check out our
Rainbow Names.
