Hold elections that will remove the troublesome Aristide from the National Palace.
The U.S. under Bill Clinton ("He is my twin," Aristide told me in 1993) put Aristide back in power.
By then Aristide had become considerably less popular and less democratically elected.
Aristide returned to power, and left peacefully when his term expired two years later.
There was, of course, much pressure exerted on them by France, which had found Aristide's demand politically disconcerting.
He drew a crumpled sheet from his pocket and handed it to Aristide.
Aristide, I would have you remember, was a child of the South.
On the twenty-eighth, a loud knocking on the door of the house brings Aristide Dauvray to the door.
"You and the good Jules were always sympathetic," said Aristide.
Aristide replaced the baby, and with a complicated arrangement of string fastened it securely to the seat.

Hubble's Deepest Look at Space
NASA'S Hubble Space Telescope has looked into deeper into the universe—and further back in time—than ever before. And it's turned up a suite of galaxies that are new to astronomers.
WISE to Scan the Infrared Sky
NASA's latest infrared space telescope—the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE—was launched on December 14, 2009. It recently began a six-month survey of the entire sky around Earth.
Once in a Blue Moon
On New Year's Eve the Full Moon will rise shortly after sunset—doing just what full moons are supposed to do. In this case, however, it'll be the second full moon in the calendar month of December.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Thank you Dr. Hasan for your reply.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I did have a stool culture done about 6 months ago to check for c-diff and it was nagative. But I have been feeling worse the last couple weeks. Is this common with IBS, for it to change or be worse at times? Also, me being on the low dose keflex for three years now, do you in your professional opinion believe that since I have been on the low dose keflex for so long, would I have already gotten c-diff a long time ago if I was going to get it from taking the low dose keflex? I was told that keflex is not a huge cause in c-diff like the second and third generations, is this true?? Also I mentioned I do take probitoics daily, is this suppose to help prevent c-diff??

The stock market indices ended mixed on the session, but quite volatile with a lot of pressure from the Nasdaq 100, particularly, Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Google Inc. (GOOG), which were both down sharply. The day started out with a gap up, and then they sold off fairly sharply, until midmorning when the S&P 500 started to bounce, but the NDX, at that point, couldn't do more than just stabilize. As the afternoon approached, the NDX started to move up a little, reaching key resistance near 2645, and near 1416 on the S&P 500. They backed off in the last hour, only to come on again at the close.
Net on the day, the Dow was up 81.09 at 13,155.13, 2 points off the high and about 80 points off the low. The S&P 500 closed above 1400 at 1418.07 up 4.13, 2 points off the high and 7 points off the low. The Nasdaq 100 was down 16.76 at 2640.54, 31 points off the high and 9 points off the low.
Advance-declines were 16 to 13 positive on the New York Stock Exchange, and about 160 issues negative on Nasdaq. Up/down volume was 2 1/2 to 1 positive on New York, with total volume of 570 million shares. Nasdaq traded over 1.5 billion and had a 3 to 2 negative plurality, declining volume over advancing volume.
TheTechTrader.com board was mixed with Apple Inc. (AAPL) down 13.99 to 533.25, 3 points off its low, and Google Inc. (GOOG) down 6.92 to 684.21, 2 points off its low, which kept pressure on that index all day. Amazon Inc. (AMZN) did close flat however, down just 10 cents to 253.27.
There were some spectacular moves on our board today. CombiMatrix Corporation (CBMX) came out with a major scientific discovery, or at least a fact sheet indicating that their technology should be used. It closed at 8.60, up 6.63, or 336.5%, on 1.3 million shares, a 46,000% increase in volume. Good Times Restaurants Inc. (GTIM) gained 77 cents to 2.72, or 40.5%, on 1 million shares.
In addition, Groupon, Inc. (GRPN), which we traded today, was up 88 cents to 4.69, or 23%, on 50.5 million shares. Uni-Pixel, Inc. (UNXL), a stock we picked and traded today, jumped 1.49 to 9.75, or 18%, on 1.1 million shares. The GEO Group, Inc. (GEO), one of our swing trades, did well, up 1.49 to 9.75, or 18%, on 1.1 million shares.
Other gainers of note included Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (RKUS), a new IPO, up 1.20 to 17.60. Sears Holdings Corporation (SHLD) was up 2.71 to 42.96, Approach Resources, Inc. (AREX) 1.06 to 24.20, Universal Display Corp. (PANL) 1.26 to 26.70, Workday, Inc. (WDAY) 2.80 to 51.20, and Yelp, Inc. (YELP) 96 cents to 19.05.
Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices were up early, but came down hard in the morning, bounced around midday, tried to rally in the afternoon, but the Nasdaq 100 wouldn't cooperate, its weakness being AAPL and GOOG. The S&P 500 and Dow continued to press higher and closed near the afternoon highs. They ended the day up on the session, while the Nasdaq 100 was down nearly 16 today.
It was a mixed day, so we'll see what that brings next week.

member of the RIA Novosti Expert Council
Moscow (RIA Novosti) Mar 28, 2007
The fight for control over energy resources has been gaining momentum over the recent years, becoming a dominating factor in international relations.
Players in this fight are both individual states and regional or international organizations, such as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the International Energy Agency (IEA) and others that represent the interests of their member states.
Struggle for control over energy-rich regions sometimes goes in the open. One example is the attempts to "democratize" post-Soviet republics. Western geopolitical centers that impose managed crises on these countries are worried that reserves in the fields that supply oil to their markets are becoming exhausted.
Experts estimate that global energy demand will grow by 2.4% a year on average in the next several decades, while the output in the North Sea and Indonesia will fall due to exhaustion. Moreover, instability in the Middle East has shaken the fragile foundations of the world's energy resources. So key electricity consumers are beginning to eye post-Soviet countries seeking to diversify their hydrocarbon imports, as these countries can boast not only huge reserves, but also stable economic growth. In these circumstances, new independent states have an increasing influence on the global market.
But there is another factor that needs to be acknowledged. This growing influence is not brought about by any coordinated steps or thought out policies of commodities exporters related to transportation, transit, optimal price setting and energy security. The situation on energy markets has been favorable for them so far. It can push aside regional or inter-state disagreements for some time, but it does not help to resolve them.
The latest events related to gas supply from Russia to Belarus and from Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan showed clearly that transition to market prices on gas is a painful process that requires meticulous preparations. Central Asia is a good example in this respect. Its security depends to a large extent on how it resolves the existing problems in the energy sector.
The need for common approaches has led to increasingly frequent calls for setting up a single energy market within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Some propose to call it the Asian Energy Strategy, others the Energy Club. Yet the essence does not change: it is time to ensure energy and, consequently, economic and political security of the SCO members by establishing a special body.
It will be difficult to achieve significant results without streamlining national energy strategies and legislations, said Vitaly Bushuyev, director of the Russian Energy Security Institute. Decisions made without thorough expert analysis are often left unimplemented because it is hard to find a balance between national interests and mutual concessions for the sake of integration. Moreover, SCO energy cooperation has already shown that its members' interests are not just different, but sometimes opposite.
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, for example, are first of all interested in promoting hydropower generation in the region. Tajik experts estimate their country's hydropower potential at 550 billion kWh a year. But development of hydropower generation in these countries without considering water consumption in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan would irrevocably damage the latter countries' agriculture.
Moreover, Kyrgyz experts believe that thermal power plants built near glacier areas will disturb the fragile ecological balance. Many present oil and gas production and transportation projects are carried out under bilateral agreements, which affects price setting and results in ongoing tensions between producers and consumers.
The great potential of energy supplying countries requires a coordinated price policy on both domestic and foreign markets. The SCO countries control 23% of the world's oil, 55% of natural gas and 35% of coal, Bushuyev said. At the same time, they waste the most energy and their energy efficiency is the lowest.
Given the dynamic growth of SCO economies and high energy prices, joint efforts seem a good way to tackle many problems. The idea to set up an energy club is gaining relevance because the global energy market requires coordinated and well-considered moves on the part of all interested countries, not just one or two players. Only then it will be possible to stand up to the market's whims.
OPEC's experience shows that such a body would assist in developing common tactics. Russian experts believe that interests of the energy club members should not be limited to energy production, transportation or consumption. They can be both geopolitical and concern investment. Central Asia and China, which has a huge workforce, could create many new jobs by attracting investment in the energy sector.
Many have rushed to describe the energy club as an OPEC analogue. But its format is unique. OPEC, for example, coordinates oil prices for 11 oil exporters, while the IEA unites mainly oil consumers. The energy club, however, will unite both producers (Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) and consumers (China, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan).
Despite these differences, OPEC's experience and the IEA's policies can be used as models when establishing the new body. The energy club can become an expert site for offering recommendations that would take into account interests of all SCO member states. And it will also make it possible to go from discussions and analysis to implementation of real projects.

I loved "Potiche"
If you don't mind subtitles but like a good movie with some social emphasis for the "common person" this one was fun for me. I selected two reviews but, I think people of a "certain age" would find this movie interesting...expecially if female but my male partner thoroughly enjoyed it too. Also loved that the aging Catherine Deneuve is incredibly enjoyable in this...she and Depardieu plus the husband...Fabrice Luchini do an outstanding job making this work.
Anyway...in this gloomy time..folks of a "certain age" and experience might find this a welcome relief...and some chuckles along with some basic humanitarian emphasis made it worth the watch for us. There's a good bit of history there, too, about women in that time which is done with a very nice touch.

Director François Ozon spins a deft social comedy of the French bourgeoisie starring some of that country's most celebrated actors, including Gérard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve and Fabrice Luchini. After Suzanne Pujol's (Deneuve) husband has a heart attack, she must take charge of the umbrella factory he manages. The resulting clashes between the genteel Suzanne and the Marxist union boss (Depardieu) generate plenty of riotous class conflict.
Instant Queue
09-26-12, a French comedy depicting some of the challenges that ensue, when an erstwhile trophy wife, decides to turn the tables on her rather boorish spouse, as she shocks everyone by coming to work and taking charge of the family business. Set in the era of turmoil, political conflict, and growing female empowerment of the 1970s, issues of culture, class, and spousal relations are playfully spoofed, as; Catherine Deneuve, a rather large Gérard Depardieu, and a strong supporting cast, appear to have a grand time playing with the conventions of the day. The music, costuming, and set design, readily evoke the time period, and it is all done in good fun. Light and fluffy, with plenty of humor, a bit of wit, a few surprises, and a healthy dash of feminism, I would rate this one at two fairly well done soufflés, that manage to rise to the occasion. (TML)
I really enjoyed this movie when I caught it at the Florida Film Festival. It has that great spirit of change is what you make it and never count some one out. Catherine Deneuve is stunning in the film as a housewife that decides that may be that is not all that she is capable of.I enjoyed the backdrop of the 1970s with the music, fashion and attitude. This is a fun film to watch.

Angelina Jolie & Her Right Leg Hit First Red Carpet Post Oscars (PHOTOS)
Angelina Jolie attended the 3rd Annual Women in the World Summit at David H. Koch Theater in New York City on Thursday evening.
Angie's right leg was the breakout star of the Oscars, but it looks like Ms. Jolie is keeping it covered up in a demur pantsuit. Wearing a white blazer, and black pants Angelina gave a smile and a wave to photogs and fans. It's quite the honor to be there!
Aside from a McDonalds run and days out with Brad Pitt's mom, the Oscar winner and mother of six has kept a low profile after awards season.
What do you think of this red carpet look? We think she looks fab!

We Have Entered The Golden Age Of "Gossip Girl"
Last night, during the season four finale of "Gossip Girl," Cecily von Ziegesar, the author of the books the show is based on, made a surprise appearance—Headmistress Queller introduced her to Serena van deer Woodsen as they brushed past each other at an alumni benefit. I believe this was the perfect time for Cecily to make a cameo, since "Gossip Girl" has gotten really, really good the past few episodes. Why? Finally, the show's spotlight isn't shining on Serena and one of the 98,000 paramours she's had on the show—in fact, she's single at the moment. The action is about Blair and Chuck, who I have always thought are the most interesting characters on the show, hands down. (If you haven't watched yet, SPOILER ALERT.) In last night's episode, after Chuck and Raina save her from being incinerated by Russell Thorpe, Chuck convinces Blair to join him for a drink, even though she should be meeting Prince Louis at the benefit and sealing their engagement. Instead, she and Chuck crash a bar mitzvah, and in one of the sweetest moments on the show ever, grasp hands as they're lifted in chairs during the hora. They end up boning in a posh bathroom.
"The great loves are the crazy ones," says Blair as they head to find the Prince, with Blair intending to ends things with him. But when Chuck sees that the Prince has waited for her all night and still believes she is coming, he has a change of heart and stops Blair. "It's not about the great love, it's about the right love," he says, realizing for the first time that he is truly toxic. "I left the Empire State Building in two minutes when you didn't show. Louis waited all night." Blair makes the right choice—the Prince.
Most shows deliver a cliffhanger in the form of unresolved action. The gun fires and … cut to black. So-and-so is shown on the ground … and are they dead? You have to wait to find out. "Gossip Girl"—and I believe this is the second time they've done this—takes a slightly different approach. They resolve all the threads of action that have been wound up during the season. We see Blair make her choice between the Prince and Chuck. We see that Serena's cousin Charlie doesn't jump out a window. We see Serena apologize to Dan and Nate for never having chosen between them. All the ends are tied up, and then in the last minutes they flash forward, almost starting the new season.
In this flash forward, Vanessa takes Dan's novel, a satire of the Upper East Side that he started writing before he and Serena as much as spoke, to a publisher without his knowledge. Serena lands a job consulting with David O. Russell on a film after flirting with a cute guy reading a book. (Boo. Did I mention how over Serena I am?) Charlie arrives back in Miami, where she is greeted by Lilly's sister. Only we find out that her name is actually Ivy and that she isn't a relative—she was simply hired to steal Van Der Woodsen checkbooks. And the final wowzer—our beloved Dorota empties a wastepaper basket in Blair's bathroom that contains a positive pregnancy test.
Oh man, I cannot wait for next season. Kudos, "Gossip Girls" writers. You got me back on the wagon.

School of Pharmacy's Kristen DiDonato recognized in inaugural class of NACDS Faculty Scholars
Program designed to advance education of junior faculty in pharmacy-based patient care research
University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy Clinical Assistant Professor Kristen DiDonato was recently inducted by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation into the 2012-2013 inaugural class for the Foundation's Faculty Scholars Program. Launched earlier this year, the Faculty Scholars Program is designed to educate assistant professors from U.S. schools and colleges of pharmacy about designing, implementing and publishing community pharmacy-based patient care research.
Along with her other faculty responsibilities, DiDonato is the Red Cross site coordinator for UMKC's Community Pharmacy Residency Program, which is designed to give residents experience in a variety of community pharmacy settings. Through partnerships with Red Cross Pharmacy, Ball's Foods Price Chopper Pharmacy and Walgreens, residents have the opportunity to participate in a range of training experiences, including ambulatory care experiences focusing on family practice, diabetes mellitus, anticoagulation, HIV/AIDS, and pain management.
DiDonato graduated from The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy and completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency with an Emphasis in Community Care from The Ohio State University and the Kroger Patient Care Center in Columbus, Ohio. She has been a member of the UMKC faculty since 2009 and practices at Red Cross Pharmacy in Excelsior Springs, Missouri.
"Dr. DiDonato is a champion in the classroom as an educator and in her practice site as a teacher, preceptor, and patient care provider. She has built and expanded a tremendous collaboration with Red Cross Pharmacies that has enabled development of an outstanding extramurally funded community residency program," said Russell Melchert, Ph.D., dean of the School of Pharmacy. "Her efforts have benefited our students and residents as well as the community and patients at Red Cross Pharmacies. We hope to build upon her example in expanding pharmacy services throughout the state."
DiDonato was one of only five professors of pharmacy from across the country to receive this year's inaugural distinction. As participants in the NACDS Foundation Faculty Scholars Program, each Scholar will participate in advanced educational opportunities through in-person meetings, regular conference calls, individualized mentoring, web-based lecture material, and online discussion forums. The Scholars will engage in peer-to-peer review, receiving support from an experienced network of researchers nationwide. They will also be eligible to receive a research grant to launch a community pharmacy-based patient-centered care project.
"This highly accomplished and energetic team of Faculty Scholars really captures the excitement surrounding this program," said NACDS Foundation President Kathleen Jaeger. "The NACDS Foundation created the Faculty Scholars Program with the confidence that this type of research can make a meaningful difference for patients' lives and public health, and this is an ideal group to live up to those high expectations."

2014 CFN Preview: The Big 12
Preview 2014
Big 12 Preview
By Pete Fiutak
- Suggestions or something we missed? Let us know
- Follow us ... @ColFootballNews
To be fair, it wasn't all that long ago that the question was whether or not there'd still be a Big 12 at all.
Texas was rumored to be courted by the Big Ten – which was never going to happen – and Oklahoma was supposedly flirting with just about everyone, including two Kardashians. Baylor, Iowa State and maybe Kansas and Kansas State were at least thrown out there as possibly moving over to the Mountain West, and Missouri and Texas A&M were shopping around.
Of course, Texas ended up staying put, Oklahoma didn't go to the SEC or the Pac-12, and the league survived and advanced, but there were some huge hits taken in the process.
The top teams were still good, and the emergence of Baylor as a fun powerhouse has helped, but the Big 12 is like a team trying to get out from under NCAA sanctions – there's no depth.
The Pac-12 taking Colorado was a hit to the history of the Big 12, losing Nebraska to the Big Ten was a body blow, and it was particularly painful to not only lose Missouri and Texas A&M to the SEC, but to see them each turn in special performances with an East title for the Tigers and a Heisman for the Fighting Manziels. So while it's not healthy to lament about what might have been – and again, the Big 12 did survive and didn't whither into the problems of the Big East or even the WAC – it's hard not to think of what the league would be like right now with the Huskers, Tigers, Aggies, and even the Buffs, still around.
It's not helping the cause that the new additions aren't exactly adding much so far., and they haven't stepped in to fill the void left by the departed former Big 12ers. West Virginia initially brought over a fun offense, but that's been fizzling, and TCU has remained tough defensively, but it's not scaring anyone in its first few years in the new league - these two need to do for the Big 12 what Mizzou and A&M did to help the already nasty SEC.
How can the Big 12 find programs that bring more bang for the buck? The league could probably have any Conference USA team or American Athletic team it wants, but would it make sense to expand geographically and go after UCF and/or South Florida? Does it help in any way other than market size to bring in Houston? After not getting Louisville – somewhat surprisingly – does Cincinnati make sense, or is it time to look on the other side of the country and bring in BYU and all its devoted fans and followers. Boise State? San Diego State? Anyone? Who cares who the league gets to get back up to 12?
The 13-person College Football Playoff committee might.
If all things are equal in the new landscape of the Power 5 conferences and their autonomy, the Big 12 loses out to the other four conferences with conference championships. Even if an Oklahoma or a Texas turns in a juggernaut year, 13-0 beats 12-0, and 12-1 as a star runner-up – or 11-1 like an Alabama of last year – still might do more than an 11-1 Big 12 champion. And it doesn't help that this is a bit of a down year.
Oklahoma has the juice coming off its Sugar Bowl shocker against Alabama, but suspensions, expectations and a tough schedule could be too much to overcome. Oklahoma State's reloading, Texas is undergoing a transition, and Baylor and Kansas State, while terrific, don't quite stack up to the stars of the other top conferences (although, watch out for Auburn's trip to Manhattan).
This is where West Virginia and TCU are supposed to make up the tough midsection, but instead there's not too much of a buffer between the still-new Big 12ers and the programs just struggling to put something consistently great together.
Perception counts now more than ever, and while this might be a Power 5 league, it'll quickly see where it is in the pecking order if the other four conferences do their part. Miss out on the playoff once, and watch the expansion timetable get moved up. Until then, enjoy the weekly offensive show.
Bold Statements
- People love, love, love to put stock into the big, shocking bowl performance of the previous season. Bowl games are self-contained entities. Oklahoma came up with a stunner against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, but this was the same team that needed a minor miracle against Oklahoma State just to get into the BCS fun, and was weird in a loss to Texas and miserable in a blowout loss to Baylor.
- When was the last time Oklahoma lost fewer than two games in a season? 2004.
- The Frank Shannon suspension doesn't help the cause no matter what, but it's Oklahoma. There are other really, really good players ready to step in and pick up the slack.
- Trevor Knight can't just be above-average.
- It'll be interesting to see how Texas, as a program, continues to spin this. Everyone still likes Mack Brown, and no one seems to want to trample on his legacy or what he did for a program that hit the skids of mediocrity before his arrival, but Charlie Strong's need to make the team tougher and more disciplined suggests that the Longhorns were soft and a bit loose.
- Call this simply a case of a monster football team needing a change. It's not that Brown was bad, it was just time for a new way of doing things.
- Strong's toughest job this year? Developing the No. 2 quarterback.
- The West Virginia running game could be dominant, even if Alabama won't make it seem that way in the opener.
- Texas Tech won't win the conference, but the offense will go back to the Mike Leach days when it could tag someone on the right day, and there will be nothing an opposing Big 12 defense can do about it.
- And there will be those days when Davis Webb throws for 428 yards and the offense only manages 17 points in a blowout loss.
- Too soft to make the call of TCU QB Matt Joeckel earning All-Big 12 honors, but he'll be close. Don't be shocked in any way if he turns out to be the Big 12's second-best quarterback behind Petty.
- 8,036 yards of total offense and 681 points later, Baylor still doesn't seem to get much in the way of respect. Losing to UCF didn't help the cause, but this offense isn't going to be stopped this year. It's going to take a massive offensive effort to beat the Bears.
- In the two losses, Bryce Petty threw for 359 yards and two scores against Oklahoma State, and went for 356 and two touchdowns against UCF.
- Iowa State and Kansas will be better, but outside of playing each other, they'll be underdogs against everyone else.
- Is it okay to say that Kansas State will be sneaking up on everyone? That's sort of hard to do at this point considering all the recent success, but this is a Big 12 champion-caliber team.
- The problem for the Wildcats? Three of the final four games on the road. Even if West Virginia and TCU aren't superpowers, those are going to be nasty November games to deal with.
- Oklahoma State's Tyreek Hill will be the most fun player in the Big 12 this year.
- Yes, Kansas State's Tyler Lockett will put up some big moments, too.
- The Big 12 won't be represented in your inaugural College Football Playoff.
Coach on the Hot Seat
Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia - There are different types of hot seats. Charlie Strong can't fall flat on his face early on at Texas. Paul Rhoads could really use a winning season at Iowa State. And then there's ol' Chuck Weis, who needs to show some sign of life at Kansas at a miserable first two years. Holgorsen, though, falls into a different category. No one was Iowa State seens to have any interest in seeing Rhoads go, and Strong can blame a rough first year - if there is one - on the culture and trying to change it, but Holgorsen started out rough with a strained relationship with former head man Bill Stewart, set the bar high with a 10-3 first year and an Orange Bowl appearance, and then pffffffffft - the air went out of the baloon going 6-12 in Big 12 play. 6-6 keeps him around, but anything else might mean a change.
5 Non-Conference Games the Big 12 had better take very, very seriously
1. North Texas at Texas, Aug. 30
2. North Dakota State at Iowa State, Aug. 30
3. TCU at SMU, Sept. 27
4. Central Michigan at Kansas, Sept. 20
5. Toledo at Iowa State, Oct. 11
Team That'll Surprise
TCU - The defense learned what life was like without Devonte Fields last year, and it should be fine going foward this season. The big difference will be an offense that'll do more down the field and be more explosive. Former Texas A&M Aggie Matt Joeckel should be the answer at quarterback, and with just enough talent returning across the offense, the pop will be there. This won't be Baylor in terms of lighting up the scoreboard, and it would be nice if Fields was still around, this should still be an eight-win team.
Team That'll Disappoint
Oklahoma - The bar is raised high after the Sugar Bowl victory. This will be a very, very good team that will be front and center in the hunt for the Big 12 title - as always. However, it's still Oklahoma and it's going to pull an Oklahoma and biff a game or two it probably shouldn't. Can Trevor Knight be the Sugar Bowl Trevor Knight for a full season? Will the skill players step up on offense, and will the defense be fine without Frank Shannon? Probably, on all counts, but anything less than an appearance in the College Football Playoff will be a major disappointment. Anything less than a Big 12 championship will be a disaster.
Game of the Year …
Baylor at Oklahoma, Nov. 8 - The Sooners used to throttle the Bears on a regular basis, but everything started to change a few years ago with a Heisman-cinching performance from Robert Griffin III, and a 41-12 Bear blowout last year in Waco. Baylor has Oklahoma's Big 12 title, and if Bob Stoops and company want it back, they can't lose their third game in four years in the series.

Russia already has the world's largest reserves of conventional natural gas and is the world's largest gas exporter. So more could hardly be a bad thing for Moscow, right? According to the EIA, Russia has the ninth-largest technically recoverable shale gas reserves in the world. But Russia has serious fracking problems, of which the biggest by far is the fecklessness of its state-owned gas company, Gazprom.
Gazprom generates 20 percent of Russia's government revenues. If it struggles, so too does Russia. Profits were down 10 percent last year, and there's little reason to expect a turnaround. Anders Åslund, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, calls the state-owned firm the most "spectacularly mismanaged" large company in the world. He details Gazprom's failings in a thorough opinion piece for Bloomberg:
At the heart of Gazprom's mismanagement lies extreme inertia; reluctance to absorb new information; corruption and outlandish arrogance. Its managers are used to exercising Soviet-style monopoly over consumers, not having realized that the market has taken over. The company has traditionally varied prices by countries for opaque reasons. For example, Lithuania pays 15 percent more for Gazprom gas than neighboring Latvia. […]
The Gazprom business model is as simple as old: to produce conventional gas from giant fields in West Siberia and pump it through pipelines to Europe. In the last decade, the company has missed three big revolutions in the industry: the shale-gas expansion in the U.S., the global liquefied-natural-gas boom, and the rise of Chinese demand.
There are a host of reasons to be pessimistic about Gazprom's future.
The country and its frequently bare-chested leader both like to remind the world that they're still relevant—take, for example, the recent announcement that Russia would consider offering asylum to the now-infamous NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. If Gazprom can't turn things around, the Russian government is going to have a hard time paying its bills. If that happens, expect these diplomatic chest-thumpings to get a lot more dangerous. Gazproblems could beget Kremlinstability.

and we are just emperors, serious
and accurate and fugitive
in such dormant lines of gorgeousness
the day is a locksmith
dew lies long on the grass
and I a rustic ask: what is
a surface—and respond
only omniscience, the crumpling face
as the domestic emotions elucidate
themselves a sea of mist
exists so strangely side by side
the potent mould of anarchy and scorn.

I want to be tall but not so tall that nothing is above me.
I want to be still but not so still that I turn into a mannequin or get mistaken for a tree.
I want to be in motion but I want the ants in my pants to sometimes take a vacation.
Sometimes I want to be slow but not so slow that everything passes me by.
Sometimes I want to be small but not so small that I am easy to miss.
Sometimes I want to be invisible but not gone.
I want to be all the people I know, then I want to know more people so I can be them too.
Then they can all be me.

Look behind you, I'm about to pass you twice.

Timmy Martin from "Lassie": I know what you're going to say: But Timmy fell down a well. Well, actually, no he didn't. He fell into abandoned mine shafts, off of cliffs, into rivers and lakes and, in one freakish incident, into a pool of quicksand. That's it. Hes perfectly capable of fetching our water.

Heralded Gibbs DE Tim Jackson has narrowed his list of potential schools to eight.
Here's who made the cut (in alphabetical order): Iowa State, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Stanford, USF, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
In all, Jackson has scholarship offers from 18 schools.
Jackson has already visited Wake Forest, and plans to trip to Stanford in late November. He also expects to visit Ole Miss and UNC, meaning the other schools on his list will try to score his final trip.
"I'll be making my decision soon after I've taken all five visits," Jackson said in an email to the Times.
Rivals.com rates the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Jackson as a three-star prospect.
You'll notice that something stands out about Jackson's list of schools: Most of them are top-notch academic institutions.
That makes sense – according to Rivals.com, Jackson not only has excellent grades, but scored high on his SAT.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Deed in John Smith's name. John Smith wills land to three parties. Of the three parties, two are deceased. Is the remaining party the sole heir or does the heirs of the other two parties entitled to proceeds from a possible sale?
If there is a will it depends on what the will says about deceased beneficiaries. Look for the language "or their issue, per stirpes." if that is there it is a good indication that the children of the deceased beneficiary "step into" their parent's shoes. You should have this reviewed by an attorney.
This is not legal advice nor intended to create an attorney-client relationship. The information provided here is informational in nature only. This attorney may not be licensed in the jurisdiction which you have a question about so the answer could be only general in nature. Visit Steve Zelinger's website: http://www.stevenzelinger.com/Ask a similar question
I agree with the prior answer. The Will should state who inherits if the designated beneficiaries predecease the testator. An attorney should review the Will for you.
Ms Smith is licensed to practice law in Texas and Arkansas. The response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than the educated opinion of the author. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change. Responses are answers to general legal questions and the receiver of such question should consult a local attorney for specific answers to questions.Ask a similar question
You definitely should consult with an attorney. The exact language of the will must be reviewed. Transfers at death have general rules found in Chapter 854 of the Wisconsin Statutes. This chapter can be obtained free on the web site of the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau.
Section 854.06 Predeceased transferee should be read. At Subsection (3), the legislature discusses a substitute gift to issue of a covered transferee. Subsection 4 discusses contrary intent of the decedent. In other words, did the decedent intend the transfer to lapse if a relative dies first?
Your question should be fully answered when you supply all the relevant information
to the consulting attorney.

The combination of sensing technology with information and communication technology (ICT) could serve both as global eyes that monitor the environment for environmental issues, and as local eyes that monitor humans for aging society issues. System technology is also required to form such global and local eyes. This special issue, "State-of-the-Art Sensor Technology in Japan", contains articles and reviews related to the monitoring of humans and the environment, and the integration of sensor systems.
It is often pointed out that Japan faces both human issues and environmental issues, the former originating from the domestic situation and the latter from international circumstances. In terms of human issues, Japan's demographics are rapidly changing as the population ages. Japan has become a nation of elderly people, with the proportion of people over sixty-five exceeding 21% in 2007. As for environmental issues, Japan needs to play a leadership role, not only in international politics, but also in industrial and academic fields.
Sensing technology and information and communication technology (ICT) can help tackle these two issues. For example, sensing technology could play a primary role in gathering data into the global network. Environmental issues together with ICT [
Because sensing technology is related to the gateway to the network, we also examine intelligent information processing to realize sensor fusion, intelligent sensing, sensor networks and sensor systems. Both environmental monitoring and human monitoring require flexibility and adaptation, hence a third category is the integration of sensor systems and networks that involve machine learning and adaptation technology.
Sensors for monitoring humans and bio-systems require several technologies. Optic technologies [
For the aged society, human monitoring in pioneering fields is required, such as oropharyngeal swallowing [
Sensing technology can also be used to understand human sensors [
Sensing technology for monitoring the environment requires global monitoring involving sensor systems (including sensor networks), as described in the next section, and infrastructure such as satellites [
The specific sensing technologies required depend on the target, which includes land surface temperature [
Global-scale monitoring is important for environmental monitoring, but it involves systems science and technologies other than earth science and sensing technologies. The difficulty of environmental monitoring comes from not only its large scale but also its complex system aspects (entanglement of cause and effect; mixture of slow and rapid processes; inextricable linkage between humans and natural environment).
Sensor system technologies need to involve many technologies to allow the integration of multiple and multimodal sensors (
Fortunately, intelligent information processing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are sufficiently mature to provide such flexibility. These include feature extraction [
Globalization has been driven by the explosive expansion of the information network involving the Internet, satellites, and sensor networks. Since the network now covers the globe, the next stage is to organize the functions and integration for each level, place, and situation.
Network expansion and globalization can be considered to be the development phase of the central nervous system of the earth. In the next phase, the network should be integrated with sensor and motor systems.
Sensing technology R&D requires many disciplines: sciences and humanities; science and engineering; and many sections within each branch of science and engineering. Although it is usually convenient and necessary to work within a discipline, it is also necessary to conduct studies spanning different fields. Sensing technology and science inherently require cross-sectional studies, and articles of this special issue indeed show the importance of such studies.
Although globalization with ICT encourages such cross-sectional studies by enabling a cooperative R&D involving intensive computing and networking (as found within the frameworks of
We are grateful to Matthias Burkhalter and Shu-Kun Lin for giving us the opportunity to publish this special issue. We are indebted to Laura Simon, Kathy Lai, Laura Li, Iris Li, Zeno Schumacher, Dietrich Rordorf, Maggie Sun, Hibby Li, Yolanda Ughini, Ophelia Han and all the staff of MDPI for their great support in managing the review process and organization of this special issue. Finally, we sincerely thank all the authors who submitted their important work to this special issue.

The Columbia University SuperResearch Fund presents, "Overcoming barriers to environmental health protective behavior: Examples from private well testing and treatment for arsenic in Maine" with Sara V. Flanagan, a researcher with the Columbia SRP Community Engagement Core (CEC). Ms. Flanagan works at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and is a doctoral student at City University of New York (CUNY) School of Public Health. She has been collaborating with Dr. Yan Zheng, PI of the CU SRP CEC, to develop and apply innovative community participatory tools to target key behavioral factors so that the behavior of residents of Maine at risk from arsenic exposure can be understood and changed to improve health. Household surveys were sent to homeowners to determine relationship between well-testing and treatment rates and psychological factors favoring or hindering taking these actions. This seminar will explain in detail the tools used and the study findings.
If you are planning on driving to the Lamont campus for the seminar,
please contact Jessica Levinson by email email@example.com or call 845-365-8301 by Friday, November 15th. She
will add your name to the seminar guest list and give this to Lamont's
gatekeeper. Please mention that you are attending the Superfund seminar
when you arrive at Lamont.
The Columbia Superfund Research Program Seminar Series is open to everyone interested in the topic.

Hey all,
I answer enough "stupid" questions that I feel I'm entitled to ask one
myself. ;)
For the custom images available on my site, like the increased PPTP
limit and newly added serial console images, I use Jeb Campbell's
workon.sh (also available on my site). But it doesn't work for
editing the iso images.
Anybody know of a script similar to workon.sh for editing iso images?
That makes it quick and easy to put up custom images like I have on my

Update: A correction to the Pajamas Media article has been posted.
In an exclusive investigative report at Pajamas Media I've written about the truly terrifying reality that a convicted felon has gone beyond the normal criminal behavior of acquiring guns to acquiring entire gun companies… while law enforcement officials have turned a blind eye.
I wish I could say I was kidding, or discussing the script to a film, but I'm not.
This is real life, and as scary as it gets.
A taste:
In the dark fantasies of comic books, villains with pathological intent maniacally plot to build super-weapons to decimate cities, countries, and even planets. In Hollywood movies, the corrupt and evil plot to build cop-killing firearms to bring anarchy and chaos to our streets.
Imagine, if you can, a convicted kidnapper with additional arrests for communicating threats and simple assault acquiring not just a weapon or two, but an entire gun company while the federal government stood idly by.
Imagine that this same felon then started another gun company from scratch, and then used that company to acquire a third company that was licensed to build machine guns. Imagine further he was given a concealed carry license, and that local law enforcement and federal agents turned a blind eye to everything.
This isn't the plot latest reboot of the RoboCop or Lethal Weapon movie franchises, but the extraordinary alleged real-life story of Lee Franklin Booth, 51, a Greensboro, North Carolina resident with an incredibly checkered past.
As I understand it, the possession of a firearm or gun parts by a convicted felon is worth ten years in prison.
A single photo contains enough evidence for a 20 year stretch.
But far more worrisome is why a convicted felon would take the risk of literally thousands of years of jail time to take control of a gun company.
Is he after the guns themselves, to sell or divert them to the black market? Or is he after the tooling and machines, so that he can strip these companies of their physical assets and provide cartels and terrorists the equipment to build their own high tech weapons manufacturing factories?
I don't have the answer to these questions, and those sworn to protect this nation from men like Lee Booth aren't going after him… yet.
Something is very, very wrong with this picture.

The basilisk could have originated from the horned adder or hooded cobra from India. Pliny the Elder described it simply as a snake with a golden crown. By the Middle Ages, it had become a snake with the head of a cock, and sometimes with the head a human. In art, the basilisk symbolized the devil and the antichrist. To the Protestants, it was a symbol of the papacy.
According to legend, there are two species of the creature. The first kind burns everything it approaches, and the second kind can kill every living thing with a mere glance. Both species are so dreadful that their breath wilts vegetation and shatters stones. It was even believed that if a man on horseback should try to kill it with a spear, the power of the poison conducted through the weapon would not only kill the rider, but the horse as well. The only way to kill a basilisk is by holding a mirror in front of its eyes, while avoiding to look directly at it. The moment the creature sees its own reflection, it will die of fright.
However, even the basilisk has natural enemies. The weasel is immune to its glance and if it gets bitten it withdraws from the fight to eat some rue, the only plant that does not wither, and returns with renewed strength. A more dangerous enemy is the cock for should the basilisk hear it crow, it would die instantly.
The carcass of a basilisk was often hung in houses to keep spiders away. It was also used in the temples of Apollo and Diana, where no swallow ever dared to enter. In heraldry the basilisk is represented as an animal with the head, torso and legs of a cock, the tongue of a snake and the wings of a bat. The snake-like rump ends in an arrowpoint.

BIRKENHEAD MP Frank Field has launched moves to bring the Syrian regime to trial for crimes against humanity.
The former minister opened a government e-petition urging the UK to spark an International Criminal Court investigation into the bloodbath.
If it receives widespread public support the focus will be on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad whose attempts to crush dissent have led to the deaths of thousands.
Mr Field believes that the threat of a war crimes trial could lead to restraint and reduce the need for Britain to get involved in another Middle East conflict.
He said: "There is a terrible silence from politicians and government alike on one strategy that I believe could make a difference to what is going on in Syria which would not endanger a single service person's life.
"Slowly, over time, countries are agreeing that, through international law, the idea of war crimes should be pursued through the International Court. Much of the Nazi regime was tried on this principle.
"Why there has not been a referral to the ICC on the murderous regime in Syria remains a mystery to me.
"This would have a sobering effect in Damascus.
"Not only on the leadership, but also on those lower down the hierarchy who are part of Assad's killing troops. They will realise that they no longer act with impunity.
Mr Field has also written to the Chief ICC Prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, asking him to begin an investigation.
At the weekend Assad rejected any political dialogue with rebels despite an appeal by Arab League envoy Kofi Annan.

Psoriasis is a common skin disease in children although the prevalence is much lower than in adults. The total rate of psoriasis in children younger than 18 years found in Germany was 0.71% while this was 1.4% in Great Britain.[1][2] In the Netherlands and the US even lower figures were found and juvenile psoriasis seemed to be less common in the US among African Americans than among Hispanics and Caucasians.[3][4][5]The prevalence among girls is normally higher than in boys. Hospital based studies from Africa show prevalences of 1.5% in Egypt, 0.9% in Nigeria, 0.05% in Mali and 3.5% in Kenya.[6][7][8][9]Population based studies among schoolchildren in West and Eastern Africa showed very low prevalences.[10]
Etiology and pathogenesis
Psoriasis is characterized by the proliferation of keratinocytes and inflammatory cell infiltration of the dermis and epidermis. This reaction is caused by dermal infiltration of T lymphocytes and macrophages and leads to a fast turnover and hyperplasia of the epidermis. This results in a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the skin, nails, and joints.[11]Patients are genetically predisposed to psoriasis. Psoriasis in adults is associated with comorbidities such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus (metabolic syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.[12] Physical trauma may trigger psoriatic lesions at sites of injury (Koebner's phenomenon).[4][11] Other triggers are antimalarials, lithium, beta blockers, stress, infections such as streptococcal angina and a cooler climate.
Clinical findings
The plaque type; this is the most frequently observed variant of psoriasis. It is characterized by sharply demarcated erythematous plaques covered by silvery white scales which shows the typical candle wax phenomenon after scratching. Lesions commonly appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, umbilicus, and lumbar area. The scalp is the most frequently affected site of involvement in pediatric psoriasis. Facial and intertriginous lesions may be difficult to differentiate from seborrheic eczema if there are no other typical psoriasis lesions. Guttate psoriasis; is more frequently seen in children and consists of numerous papules and plaques (like "drops") all over the body. Guttate psoriasis is often preceded by a streptococcal throat infection.[11][13] The prognosis is good, with spontaneous remissions in weeks to months. The inverse type of psoriasis; in this type of psoriasis the lesions appear as sharply defined erythematous plaques which show no or minimal scaling in intertriginous areas like the groin and armpits. Erythrodermic psoriasis; nearly the whole body surface can be involved but this is rare in children. Nail involvement (especially the fingernails) is uncommon in children with psoriasis. If it occurs nail-pitting is the common manifestation. Onycholysis and the "oil drop" sign are rare.[13] Psoriatic arthritis; is an extracutaneous manifestation which is rare among children in Africa. A recent African review suggested an association between psoriatic arthritis and HIV infection.[9]
Differential diagnosis
- Tinea capitis
- Tinea corporis
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Eczema
- Lichen planus
- Pityriasis rosea / secondary Syphilis (d.d. Psoriasis guttata)
- Discuss the chronic character (" come and go") of the disease with the patients and the parents/caretakers. Explain that psoriasis is not contagious but can be triggered by an infection
- Approximately 70 to 80 percent of all patients with psoriasis can be treated adequately with use of topical therapy!
- Salicylic acid 5-10% in an oil, lotion, cream or ointment base 2x daily to reduce the scaling
- A moderate to strong topical topical steroid like betamethason ointment 2x daily on the lesions. Cannot be used continuously for a long time because of side effects.Can be used in combination with salicylic acid 2-10% ointment.
- Coal tar 5-10% ointment or sulphur 5% in coal tar 5-10% for the night
- Vitamin D3 analogue like calcipotriol 2x daily on the lesions, especially with plaque psoriasis. Can be used in combination with local corticosteroids
- Anthralin 0.1-1% cream or ointment.especially for plaque psoriasis. Has to be wiped or washed off after 10-60 minutes. Not always suitable for children because of the irritative reaction
- Find the possible bacterial sources of streptococcal infection (pharyngeal and perianal) and treat with antibiotics like erythromycin, penicillin or cephalosporines.
- If possible refer the patient to a dermatologist for phototherapy (UVB is the preferred form of phototherapy for pre-adolescent pediatric psoriasis)
- Methotrexate: can be given for severe cases of guttate psoriasis in children who are unresponsive to antibiotics, topical treatment and UVtherapy and to children with severe arthropathic psoriasis.
- Dosage: 0.3 mg/kg weekly dose of methotrexate, not exceeding the maximum standard dose of 22.5 mg weekly. Daily supplement with folic acid, except on the day of methotrexate therapy.
- Ciclosporin: is an appropriate therapy for severe guttate psoriasis in children
- Dosage : 1–5 mg/kg per day is used for both maintenance and crisis therapy. The renal function tests (creatinine) should be regularly checked.
- Biologic therapies: These therapies are very expensive and can, in the case of psoriasis, only be given by a dermatologist.

There is something in the way that B.Way handles his music that comes across as both blissful and welcoming to listeners of all genres. "Morgan's Song" served as more of a introduction to the talents of B.Way, with a standout figure like Nuri behind the boards. As a South Florida native and ProClub representative, B.Way shifts gears a bit with this new collaborative effort with Nuri and FrankeL, titled "Forbidden Fruit". This track gives great justice to the demonstration of the versatility of ProClub in all of their sounds. The combination of singing and rapping comes off as natural, presenting a rather pleasant aura. The Lusting.Over.Visual.Emotions (L.O.V.E.) EP release date is on the horizon, and it will be a project that will arouse much interest in the efforts of ProClub.

text: Yeah. Not to be too nit-picky here, but it isn't really *orange juice*. There have been some that have tried, some studies (*like this one at RIT*<http://people.rit.edu/andpph/text-coffee.html>). OJ simply doesn't have *nearly* enough ascorbic acid content IIRC. Use of Vitamin C tablets or pure ascorbic acid is recommended. I had been buying my ascorbic acid from a store on Polk near Broadway (is it Real Foods?). Well, they had run out one day. I asked a sales person when more would be in. It is their own brand, and was 40% of the price of the other brands... She happened to be the buyer for the store. She looked at the shelf and said to me, "*oh my, that price isn't right. It shouldn't be $7.62 for that size. *[checks order pricing sheet] *That is mismarked. The price is $15.80. *[places new shelf tag]. *We'll have more in by next week."* Oooops. You can blame me for that one. (not that I had pointed it out to her or anything). I've never walked into the store again. And they had a couple sales persons who did caffenol-C development too. Bummer. *sigh* *One of my caffenol-C recipes is listed in the photo description of my flickr photo here* <http://www.flickr.com/photos/ambientimages/4254223891/>. It might seem like a convoluted 'stretch', but I *frequently* used *this site to research household food items* <http://nutritiondata.self.com/> that might work well as developing agents. Laugh at me if you will, but their info has proven to be extremely relevant for my soup recipe needs.

Brevard's running key to SSA's success
Jared Brevard, a junior, has rushed for nearly 300 yards and five touchdowns in two games for the Shady Side Academy football team.
"Jarred is just a real, real good football player," SSA coach Dave Havern said. "He'll break 2,000 yards pretty soon and already has 29 TDs, but we could line him up at guard and he'd give us a good game. He's one of the most coachable kids we've had at SSA.
"He has a great understanding of the game, especially the little nuances that a lot of people don't notice. The bonus to all this is that Jarred is also an excellent student and a real solid citizen."
Brevard, 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, has been receiving letters from colleges and wherever he goes, he hopes to major in engineering.
Here's a closer look at Jarred:
Q: Is this the year you crack the 1,000 yard mark?
A: I hope so.
Q: Who have been the most influential people in your life?
A: My parents.
Q: What's your favorite things about Pittsburgh?
A: I love the atmosphere, especially during football season.
Q: Is there a food you refuse to eat?
A: Broccoli.
Q: Who's faster, you or Dennis Briggs?
A: I'd have to say Dennis, but we're pretty close.
Q: What movie could you watch over and over?
A: "Friday Night Lights."
Q: What's your favorite TV show?
A: "Jersey Shore."
Q: Do you have a most embarrassing moment you'd like to forget about?
A: Nothing yet.
Q: Who's your favorite athlete?
A: Trent Richardson.
Q: If someone gave you a choice of a free ticket for a Steeler game, a Pirate game, a Penguin game or $200, which would you take?
A: The Steeler game.
Q: Who would be your dream date?
A: Megan Fox.
Q: Do you think the Pirates will regroup and make the playoffs?
A: I hope so. They're struggling.
Q: What would make up your all-time favorite meal?
A: Ribs, mac and cheese and green beans from J.T's Rib Shack in Penn Hills. (Former SSA star) Reggie Mitchell's dad is the owner.
Q: If you were stranded on a desert island, aside from food and water, what three things would you have to have with you?
A: My phone, my Ipod and either a football or basketball.
Q: People would be surprised to know that I…
A: ...Used to be in a bowling league.

в случае недобора определённой суммы, ничего не мешает Марку лично подбросить пару тройку миллионов)
Hi everyone
So ends a crazy month. We've broken records, we've been written and talked about across the world, we've worn out our F5 keys, and we've learned a lot of invaluable lessons about crowdfunding. Our bold campaign to build a visionary new device ultimately fell short, but we can take away so many positives.
We raised $12,809,906, making the Edge the world's biggest ever fixed crowdfunding campaign. Let's not lose sight of what an achievement that is. Close to 20,000 people believed in our vision enough to contribute hundreds of dollars for a phone months in advance, just to help make it happen. It wasn't just individuals, either: Bloomberg LP gave $80,000 and several smaller businesses contributed $7,000 each. Thank you all for getting behind us.
Then there's the Ubuntu community. Many of you gave your time as well as money, organising your own mailing lists, social media strategies and online ads, and successfully reaching out to your local media. We even saw entire sites created to gather information and help promote the Edge. We'll be contacting our biggest referrers personally.
Most importantly, the big winner from this campaign is Ubuntu. While we passionately wanted to build the Edge to showcase Ubuntu on phones, the support and attention it received will still be a huge boost as other Ubuntu phones start to arrive in 2014. Thousands of you clearly want to own an Ubuntu phone and believe in our vision of convergence, and rest assured you won't have much longer to wait.
All of the support and publicity has continued to drive our discussions with some major manufacturers, and we have many of the world's biggest mobile networks already signed up to the Ubuntu Carrier Advisory Group. They'll have been watching this global discussion of Ubuntu and the need for innovation very closely indeed. Watch this space!
As for crowdfunding, we believe it's a great way to give consumers a voice and to push for more innovation and transparency in the mobile industry. And who knows, perhaps one day we'll take everything we've learned from this campaign — achievements and mistakes — and try it all over again.
Thank you all
Mark Shuttleworth, the Ubuntu Edge team and everyone at Canonical
P.S. We've been assured by Paypal that all refunds will be processed within five working days.
И кто знает, возможно, в один прекрасный день мы возьмём все, чему мы научились в этой кампании — достижения и ошибки — и будем пробовать снова и снова.
What if I don't reach my funding goal?
If your campaign is set up as Flexible Funding, you will be able to keep the funds you raise, even if you don't meet your goal. If your campaign is set up as Fixed Funding, all contributions will be returned to your funders if you do not meet your goal. Flexible Funding campaigns that meet their goal are only charged 4% as our platform fee, whereas campaigns that do not meet their goal are charged 9%.
Martin Molin said 3 minutes ago
I don't think extending the campaign is an option. However I've heard that it'd be possible to lower the Goal of the campaign. If Canonical would want they could easily pay for all the "free promotion" they've received by buying out this campaign, aka lowering the Goal to $ 12.000.000 and then supply the rest of the required money to produce the 20.000 devices that has been pledged for.
Might not be the best solution, I don't know… I'm just speculating possible endings of this campaign.

Mark Bolger Meets Mark Bolger – Thanks to the Internet
It was kinda weird talking with Mark Bolger last week, mainly because I am Mark Bolger. I mentioned to Kimberly that someone had "Trumped" my Mark Bolger in the Morning domain named on the internet and she searched for markbolger.com. That is how I found my brother from another mother.

Arthritis Collection
