We would draw particular attention to the correspondence with Sir joseph hooker.
No attempt will here be made to give any consecutive biographical sketch of Sir joseph hooker.
This, therefore, seems an appropriate place for the following notes, which Sir joseph hooker has kindly given me.
Major General joseph hooker was now placed in command of the corps.
Sir joseph hooker estimates the number of the latter at nearly 8000, of which about 1800 were from drawings executed by himself.
He had many warm friendships, but to Sir joseph hooker he was bound by ties of affection stronger than we often see among men.
Sir joseph hooker would probably have declined to consider himself as a Geologist.
The following extract from a letter to Sir joseph hooker refers to his election to the former of these societies.
joseph hooker a place among the greatest commanders of the late civil war.
This time the commission was given to General joseph hooker.
"prostitute," often traced to the disreputable morals of the Army of the Potomac (American Civil War) under the tenure of Gen. "Fighting Joe" Hooker (early 1863), and the word might have been popularized by this association at that time (though evidence is wanting). But it is reported to have been in use in North Carolina c.1845 ("[I]f he comes by way of Norfolk he will find any number of pretty Hookers in the Brick row not far from French's hotel. Take my advice and touch nothing in the shape of a prostitute when you come through Raleigh, for in honest truth the clap is there of luxuriant growth." letter quoted in Norman E. Eliason, "Tarheel Talk," 1956).
One early theory traces it to Corlear's Hook, a section of New York City.
HOOKER. A resident of the Hook, i.e. a strumpet, a sailor's trull. So called from the number of houses of ill-fame frequented by sailors at the Hook (i.e. Corlear's Hook) in the city of New York. [John Russell Bartlett, "Dictionary of Americanisms," 1859]Perhaps related to hooker "thief, pickpocket" (1560s), but most likely a reference to prostitutes hooking or snaring clients. Hook in the figurative sense of "that by which anyone is attracted or caught" is recorded from early 15c.; and hook (v.) in the figurative sense of "catch hold of and draw in" is attested from 1570s; in reference to "fishing" for a husband or a wife, it was in common use from c.1800. All of which makes the modern sense seem a natural step. Cf. French accrocheuse, raccrocheuse, common slang term for "street-walker, prostitute," literally "hooker" of men.
[first noun sense apparently fr the notion that such women are ''hookers of men'']

On July 6, 2004, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York asking the Court to allow nine Black and Latino individuals to intervene to protect their rights as custodians in the New York City public schools. The nine were given benefits under an earlier court-approved settlement of the case because they had been identified as victims of the Board of Education's discriminatory hiring practices. LDF's clients now stand to lose all of the remedies granted under the terms of the settlement reached nearly five years ago, including their permanent employment status, their seniority, and ultimately their jobs.
The case began in 1996, when the United States Department of Justice sued the Board of Education, alleging discrimination against Black, Latino, Asian and women school custodians in the Board of Education's hiring of custodians. The Board settled with the Justice Department in 1999, agreeing to give permanent positions with retroactive seniority to those affected by the discriminatory hiring practices.
A group of white custodians then challenged the lawfulness of the settlement, claiming that it discriminated against white men. In September 2003, the Justice Department sent the court proposed revisions that would significantly water down the remedies outlined in the settlement agreement, signaling that the government was not willing to defend the remedies it had previously negotiated for the Black, Latino and women victims of the Board's employment discrimination.
At a status conference with the court on July 9, the motion to intervene was granted, allowing LDF to participate in the case by presenting factual evidence and legal arguments in support of the lawfulness of the settlement. LDF believes that the suit is important not only to the individuals involved, but also to vindicate the lawfulness of race-conscious relief in the settlement of employment discrimination claims.
"This case is of crucial importance not only to our clients but also to Title VII plaintiffs more generally," said LDF Assistant Counsel Matthew Colangelo. "The challenge to the remedies our clients received in the settlement agreement is part of a broader effort to undermine the adverse impact standard of discrimination, which has been a firmly established part of employment discrimination law for over three decades."
The ACLU Women's Rights Project previously intervened in the case on behalf of a separate group of custodians who were included in the settlement agreement.

A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lung. It happens when a clot that forms in another part of the body, usually the legs (see deep vein thrombosis), breaks away and travels through the veins to the lung. If the clot lodges in one or more of the arteries in the lung, it very suddenly blocks your blood flow. When this happens you may notice an unusual shortness of breath, have chest pain when breathing or begin coughing up blood.
Not everyone has symptoms, however. Many healthy people can develop a pulmonary embolism. Unfortunately, once you've had it, you're also more likely to have the condition again. So it's important to learn all you can, including the signs or symptoms of deep vein thrombosis.
If you think you have a pulmonary embolism, contact your doctor right away. It's usually treated in the hospital. Your doctor might prescribe medication that thins your blood, helping to break up the clot and prevent new ones from forming. You may need to stay on this medication for a period of time. Be sure to talk with your doctor about the risk of bleeding, as well as other things you can do to lower the chances you'll have another clot in your lung.
Use this condition center to learn more about pulmonary embolism, create a list of questions to ask your health care provider, and much more.

GEC+ Cape Town
Entrepreneurial Mindset in Action
The growth of GEN's annual Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) over the past 10 years has created demand for smaller, follow-on events around the world. GEC+ events, which were developed in 2016 to fill that demand, gather experts from around the world for deep-dives into specific regions or issues.
The latest GEC+ was held in Cape Town on March 16-18, 2017, and offered an introduction to Cape Town's vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem. Following on the heels of GEC 2017 in Johannesburg, the event was sponsored by the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation (AGO) and the Cape Town GEC+ Host Committee, which is made up of the city's leading entrepreneurship organizations.
In addition to an overview of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, GEC+ Cape Town hosted a member meeting of the Global Entrepreneurship Research Network as well as a deep-dive into innovative new methods for understanding entrepreneurial mindset around the world.

Understanding Cape Town's Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
GEC+ Cape Town featured visits to various parts of Cape Town's burgeoning local startup ecosystem.
Global Entrepreneurship Research Network (GERN)
GEC+ Cape Town hosted a GERN Executive Session where those who fund, conduct, and apply entrepreneurship research reviewed GERN's collaborative projects, discussed pressing programmatic research questions, and shared new knowledge and expertise on entrepreneurial mindset in action.
While the Executive Session was for members only, GERN took the opportunity to reach out to all participants in a design-thinking session to generate input on what research would be most useful to entrepreneurs and practitioners during the coming three years in order to inform its members' research agendas.
The Entrepreneurial Mindset
Recently, the Global Entrepreneurial Mindset Project was launched under GERN's and AGO's leadership. The goal is to design and construct a robust, evidence-based methodology for measuring entrepreneurial mindset in a region or a country. The project is supported by MindCette, which is led by Professor Kelly Shaver. In Cape Town, Shaver hosted a public feedback session and described the design principles and methodology that underlie the study.
The pioneering study – currently being tested through a pilot study in South Africa – provides a practical example of how GERN fosters collaboration across national borders with an overarching commitment to spurring new firm formation.
In addition to discussing what conducting it in other countries would mean for startup ecosystems and the research communities that study them, GEC+ Cape Town opened opportunities for public discourse to elevate the focus of entrepreneurial mindset education as a fundamental building block for developing and improving individual and societal entrepreneurship competencies.
Entrepreneurial Mindset in Action encompasses a variety of topics, such as Entrepreneurial Mindset for Entrepreneurs, Educators, Policymakers, and Researchers, that was explored during GEC+ sessions. These not only delved into basic understandings of entrepreneurial mindset, but also presented cases and practical examples to illustrate how the application of an entrepreneurial mindset can create sustainable value in societies.
GEC+ Cape Town would not be possible without the generous support of the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, Philippi Village, Silicon Cape, Workshop17, the SA Angel Investor Network and the Lagoon Beach Hotel.

WASHINGTON -- The 20 suburban houses standing this week on the National Mall are demonstrating the use of alternative energy systems. One of many interesting aspects of this government-sponsored project is how IT is used to manage and monitor energy consumption via iPhone apps and Web interfaces. The end results are remarkable.
Undergraduate students from Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley, for instance, have built a solar powered house that monitors and measures every aspect of energy generation and consumption. The house produces 150% more energy than it uses, making it a net supplier of electricity to the power company.
Along with solar energy and computerized management technologies, these houses put a lot emphasis on things like blinds and shades for directing light.
Some of the homes are costly, but mass production could make them affordable in many housing markets. And affordability only improves once the cost of living without an electric bill, or the price of oil for a furnace, is considered.
A Canadian team , for instance, made up of three universities, says it has built a house that can produce about double the amount of energy its occupants consume.
"I don't think people realize we can build that," said Lauren Barhydt, the team's program manager, and a graduate student in architecture at the University of Waterloo. Students from Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario, and Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, are also involved.
The Canadian entry in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon is designed for the snowy north and its physical appearance defies the conventional look of housing in cold climates. Its windows are floor to ceiling, creating a loft-like, cube shape, open structure.
But the windows are as sturdy as a normal Canadian stud wall that doesn't allow heat to escape. The house includes salt-hydrate packets under the floor that absorb heat, with the help of sunlight directed by blinds that is released as the temperature cools. The construction includes solar panels on the side so the building can capture light from low angles, another aspect of northern climates, said Lauren.
Electric power is measured at every circuit, which is done through a branch circuit power meter by Schneider Electric. The solar systems are also monitored, as well as hot water used. An industrial computer by Beckhoff Automation manages the control system but also works with a Windows-based, touch-screen system, which has controls that are also accessible via an iPhone application .
From the iPhone a user can control lights, exterior shades, interior blinds, temperature and humidity, as well as a switch that will retract the bed into the ceiling to create more floor space in this 800 square-foot house, the maximum limit for any house in the biannual decathlon.
The Department of Energy selects 20 universities, which receive a grant to get the project going but typically have to seek donations for much more. The houses must be built in such a way that they can be moved to the National Mall for display and judging.
The houses are rated in 10 categories, including architecture, market viability, engineering, lighting design, communications, appliances, metering, among others. The final winner will be announced on Friday.
Team California won the architecture award in judging held on Monday.
Architectural Juror Jonathan Knowles, a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design and architect, said that one of the things the judges looked for is how successfully the designers used technology and incorporated it into a house. He was impressed by the use of iPhone apps in many of the houses. Being able to monitor and control a house via a device that you carry around is something "I think is pretty incredible," he said.
Eventually, these homes may save people a lot of money. Rice University, which took second place in the architectural judging, has an entry in the Solar Decathlon that cost $140,000 to build . "That's affordable by any metric," said Knowles.
Team Ontario's house, including research and development work, cost $1.2 million, but if mass produced it may cost $400,000 (Canadian), said Barhydt.
Although it cost Team California about $550,000 to build its house, Preet Anand, an engineering and physics major at Santa Clara University and the water systems and digital communications lead on the project, said a mass produced model of its home would cost about $300,000 to build.
New technology from Cisco Systems Inc. is used to control all the home's systems. Integration work is required because a lot of the systems in the house, such as those that provide the radiant heating and cooling, speak their own language, said Anand. A Mac Mini aggregates in all the data.
The energy use in the Team California house can be monitored, shades adjusted, lights turned off and on, air and hot water temperature adjusted all via iPhone.
This remote management allows occupants to cut circuits to appliances remotely, turning off any energy consuming sources. You can even swivel a TV to face the kitchen via the remote application, if you happen to be working there.
"Our house was designed to save people time," said Anand.
This story, "Students show how to heat, cool, watch TV electric bill-free" was originally published by Computerworld.

The Ascent of Science (1998)
by Brian L. Silver
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an outstanding survey of science and scientific thinking. It gives excellent overviews of some difficult but important concepts - chaos, entropy, relativity, and quantum mechanics. It primarily is about physics, but has several chapters on biology and evolution.
All is given the perspective of the importance of science to everday life and living.
I will read this one again.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0195116992, Hardcover)The Ascent of Science is a remarkable achievement: a concise, informative, and easily readable book that breathes life into an often dry, impenetrable subject. The lengthy text spans several centuries of scientific discovery and theory, from the Renaissance to the nineties--it even looks to the future. This is also a who's who of major scientific players throughout history: Voltaire, Newton, Bacon, and Einstein, among others. But don't be put off by the prospect of information overload--author Brian Silver remains succinct and engaging throughout, and even highly complex areas such as relativity and chaos are made accessible by Silver's wit and energy. This is more than a primer on science; Silver contextualizes science within the philosophy and politics of past and present times. Of particular fascination is the Renaissance era, when scientific reasoning was equated with a violation against God. Descartes was accused of fostering atheism, because of his belief that God's role was as creator of the universe only, and not as "mover of the planets." (Descartes's books were banned by the Catholic church in 1663.) Although Silver died prior to the publication of The Ascent of Science, his book remains a lasting testament to his love for science and his remarkable ability to open up this world to everyone.

The trainer at the gym is looking at my left shoulder. He presses a spot at the base of my neck with his thumb, causing a deep twinge that runs all the way down my left arm, and whistles in ironic admiration. People who work in physiotherapy are invariably impressed by how tense I am. I'm like a giant fist, permanently clenched in anxiety.
"It could be from the way you sit while you work," he says. "You probably lean forward when you type."
"Probably," I say.
"But it's odd it's only on one side."
I know exactly what it's from; I just don't want to tell him. It's from playing the banjo.
When I took up the banjo three years ago, I thought of it as a harmless pastime, or at least as a pastime that would harm only others. When I joined a band last year, I didn't imagine I was following a path that would inevitably lead to injury.
But being in a band means keeping up with other musicians, and I have some unfortunate history here. When I was in the City Youth orchestra, I had to teach myself the violin without making any noise, the bow hovering just above the strings, because any noise I made was the wrong noise. When I was in a band in college, I was always on the verge of being kicked out for my lack of application. When you hang out with students who drink beer, smoke pot and play guitars all day, establishing yourself as the lazy one is no mean feat, but I managed it.
This time I don't want to be left behind, and I have vowed to attack musicianship with as much dedication as I can muster without inviting unwanted sarcasm from my wife. As part of this new ambition, I have devised a banjo arrangement for a song that is both fiendishly complex and nakedly impressive.
Or it would be if I could play it, but I can't. I spend most of my time sitting at my desk, banjo on my knee, running over the same notes at half speed and staring at a blank computer screen. The ritual might be calming if progress were in any way perceptible. After a few hours of frustration, I go downstairs to the kitchen, where my wife is sitting.
"Working hard?" she says. "Plinkety plink."
"It helps me think," I say. At that moment I'm thinking: index, middle, thumb, middle, thumb, index, middle, thumb. "My neck hurts."
"I see," she says. "Anything else to report?"
"Next week's gig is cancelled," I say, looking out the window. "But the rehearsal is still on, because the studio was already booked."
"Oh, are we still talking about you?" she says. "How interesting."
So I have failed to master the banjo part, I have failed to evade my wife's sarcasm and I am now unable to look over my left shoulder. There has been some progress – I've learned to type with finger picks on my right hand – but I'm still worried about holding the band back.
The next evening my wife catches me in the hall as I'm preparing to leave with my banjo case.
"Where are you going?" she says.
"Acton," I say.
"What for?" she says.
"Rehearsal," I say. "It's Thursday."
"It's election night," she says.
"Yes," I say, "so it is. But, I mean, there's never really any news before midnight. I'll be back by then."
"We're having a party," she says. "Eight people are coming to dinner."
"Are they?" I say. "Well, in that case, um…" I stop, poised between two competing commitments, feeling obliged to weigh my next words carefully. I breathe out and think: index, middle, thumb, middle, thumb, index, middle, thumb.

Combo posted a topic in Networking and MultiplayerHello there! My site yesterday was a victim of a DrDOS attack for some odd reason. They were attacking from the port 80 up until i blocked it. Same for the http. Blocking that port, my whole website becomes off line. My game servers were also attacked but they are up and running but very slow. What can be done to protect my VPS and my game servers from getting "hacked" like this? Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

Real Madrid will block any attempts Jose Mourinho makes to take Sami Khedira, Luka Modric or Diego Lopez with him to Chelsea.
Mourinho's last game in charge of the Spaniards is against Osasuna tomorrow and his return to London is expected to be confirmed early next week.
The 50-year-old has fallen out with most of the dressing room during his time at Real but still enjoys a great relationship with the trio.
He was hoping to buy Khedira or Modric to strengthen Chelsea's midfield, while Lopez was seen as a goalkeeper to provide stronger support for Petr Cech.
However, it is understood Real have already made a move to prevent Khedira from becoming unsettled by beginning talks over a new contract.
The Germany international's current deal only has two years left to run and he has impressed while playing in front of the back four.
Real still have bad memories of when they allowed Chelsea to take advantage of a contract dispute with Claude Makelele in 2003, who went on to play a huge role in the Blues success under Mourinho. Khedira showed just how much he has come to appreciate playing under Mourinho by writing a tribute to the coach on his official Facebook account.
He said: "Goodbye Jose Mourinho! As you know, my dear friends, our coach is leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season. We all respect his decision. I am personally very grateful to him.
"I want to thank him for the opportunity he gave me at Real. I want to thank him for the support he has given me. He has always had my back, sometimes because I received criticism from the press!"
It is believed Real are also keen to keep Modric despite the Croatian making a minimal impact during his first season at the club.
Modric joined from Tottenham for £33million last summer and has struggled to win over the supporters, even though he scored a key goal to help knock Manchester United out of the Champions League.
Lopez, meanwhile, became one of the focal points of Mourinho's battle against player power as he started in goal during the second half of the season instead of Real and Spain legend Iker Casillas.
With Mourinho leaving, the 32-year-old appeared to be keen to depart, too, but has had a change of heart and wants to stay.

As the media obsess about Obama on the Leno show and Michelle's new White House garden, the real story last week went virtually unnoticed. Namely, the Fed announcement that it will be pumping another trillion bucks into the economy. That's one trillion dollars it will manufacture out of thin air.
Consider: What would happen if you maxed out your credit cards, borrowed to pay your mortgage, spent all your savings, and then went out and got a new loan, which you had no hope of repaying?
Ronald Reagan knew. He had the rare ability to recognize the obvious, being the sole voice predicting that the former Soviet Union could not possibly sustain its level of spending, and would collapse. It did, to the surprise of all the 'experts.'
It doesn't take an expert to predict what will happen when individuals, businesses, or countries spend beyond their means. Joe six-pack in flyover country knows better than most politicians that there are no free lunches; that actions have consequences.
Our elected officials remain blissfully unaware of these basic tenets. Whether through economic ignorance or a political lock-step mentality, both Republicans and Democrats not only continue the massive raid on our present and future tax dollars, they continue to enact policies that make an economic recovery virtually impossible.
While the media focus the nation's attention on the faux brouhaha of the AIG bonuses, our elected officials lay plans to implement a costly cap and trade system to address the new 'crisis' of global warming. Heritage Foundation estimates this will add approximately $1,800 in energy costs to every American household.
Meanwhile, the popular 'soak the rich' class warfare has resulted in a massive tax increase on those making over $250K. Obama blithely states that 'the rich shouldn't mind paying their fair share.' Notice, it is now the government that defines what is 'fair' and who is 'rich.'Noticeable only by its absence, is the historical fact that raising taxes in a recession is economic suicide. Not one of our elected officials has pointed out the obvious and proven fact that lowering taxes fuels the economy while, at the same time, replenishing government coffers. Instead, most of our elected officials have opted to continue promoting class warfare as both an explanation and a solution to the current economic mess.
Between 70% to 90% of our economy is fueled by and dependent on small businesses, who routinely file taxes as 'sole proprietors.' Meaning, all their receipts are figured into their gross income, automatically placing them in the ranks of the 'rich.'
These are the people who are paying for the government's largess. These entrepreneurs are the very ones who are being demonized, taxed to death and run out of business. These guys are our neighbors. And we are now all complicit in denying them the legitimate fruits of their labor. We are killing the golden goose. One of the rare political hold outs against the prevailing tsunami, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, was twice rejected by the White House when he humbly asked to use the 'stimulus' money to pay down his state's debt.
Like Reagan, Gov. Sanford has been predicting for years what will happen if the U.S. continues its present course. In virtually every public speech he makes, he includes this timeline of nations, learned from 200 years of history:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith
2. From spiritual faith to great courage
3. From courage to liberty
4. From liberty to abundance
5. From abundance to complacency
6. From complacency to apathy
7. From apathy to dependence
8. From dependence back into bondage
Gov. Sanford's voice is being ignored. As are the voices of an awakening populace, only now realizing that the new Messiah does not have the ability to wave a magic wand and replace reality with a blissful utopian paradise.
Our enemies have realized this all along. And now that the U.S. is in appeasement mode, cutting military spending, and believing that the war on terror can be ignored by redefining it, it is only a matter of time before some Islamic fanatics take advantage of our weakened economic status and our new priority of Kumbaya.Â
Alas, they may be too late. The Obama administration, with the help of Republicans, has already inflicted more economic damage on this country than the terrorists ever did. And the media have done more to destroy America 's will to fight than legions of suicide bombers ever could. Our enemies may now rejoice that America appears to have been defeated from within. Allah Akbar.Â

In life, there are times when things get rough, and we want someone to simply listen while we bare our souls (shoulda listened when adults told us, as kids, that getting older sucks). The people who sit back, and don't say a word are like a gift from God. At the end of the conversation, we usually feel alot better. Like a burden has been lifted off our shoulders.
But as a company founder, oftentimes we want someone who has been through the wars, and can feel our pain. The Hero's Journey is relatively unique, and when you cross paths with a fellow warrior, it can be instant magic.
Except from Steve Blank's "The Four Steps to the Epiphany" on "The Hero's Journey":
"Joseph Campbell popularized the notion of an archetypal journey that recurs in the mythologies and religions of cultures around the world. From Moses and the burning bush to Luke Skywalker meeting Obi wan Kenobi, the journey always begins with a hero who hears a calling to a quest. At the outset of the voyage, the path is unclear, and the end is not in sight. Each hero meets a unique set of obstacles, yet Campbell's keen insight was that the outline of these stories was always the same. There were not a thousand different heroes, but one hero with a thousand faces.
The hero's journey is an apt way to think of startups. All new companies and new products begin with an almost mythological vision–a hope of what could be, with a goal that few others can see. It's this bright and burning vision that differentiates the entrepreneur from big company CEOs and startups from existing businesses. Founding entrepreneurs are out to prove that their vision and business are real and not some hallucination; to succeed they must abandon the status quo and strike out on what appears to be a new path, often shrouded in uncertainty. Obstacles, hardships and disaster lie ahead, and their journey to success tests more than financial resources. It tests their stamina, agility, and the limits of courage.
Most entrepreneurs feel their journey is unique. Yet what Campbell perceived about the mythological hero's journey is true of startups as well: however dissimilar the stories may be in detail, their outline is always the same. Most entrepreneurs travel down the startup path without a roadmap and believe that no model or template could apply to their new venture. They are wrong. For the path of a startup is well worn, and well understood. The secret is that no one has written it down."

While Papua New Guinea's competing leaders have their eyes on the valuable election war chest that comes with the prime minister's office, they should also realise that a protracted leadership struggle is unlikely to win significant public support.
The country's voters are growing increasingly disillusioned with big-man politics and politicians who pursue their self-interest at the expense of the people.
The origins of the constitutional crisis can be traced to prime minister
His prolonged absence from the country led to the opposition claiming, in an August sitting of Parliament, that the office of prime minister was vacant. The Speaker, Jeffrey Nape, accepted the claim and allowed a vote to fill the position. Peter O'Neill, who was Somare's treasurer, formed an alliance with members of the opposition and other deserters from the National Alliance party and won a vote of 70 to 24.
The Supreme Court then ruled on Monday in a 3-2 decision that the election of Peter O'Neill in August was unconstitutional as there was no vacancy in the office of prime minister at the time of his election. The court also ruled that Michael Somare should be restored to the office of prime minister.
After a stand-off on Monday night and Tuesday – during which O'Neill's government passed retrospective laws making their actions in August legal, confirmed O'Neill as the prime minister in Parliament, had Michael Somare's seat declared vacant and made their case to the Governor-General – the Governor-General Michael Ogio on Wednesday decided to swear in Somare's cabinet.
Even for the notoriously unpredictable nature of politics in PNG, the constitutional and legal events of this week have been unprecedented. Differing interpretations of the constitution and confusion among lawmakers and worryingly, in the Governor-General's office, have cast doubt on the capacities of those responsible for implementing the nation's laws.
Somare still does not have the support of the majority of members of Parliament and has suffered from a loss in public support after nine years in power. He will struggle to build the confidence necessary to govern. The O'Neill government, while far from perfect, offered hope and a chance at a fresh start for PNG at a critical time in its development. It promised to take action on corruption and appeared committed to reforms.
There are huge benefits to being the government in PNG now. First, the government has primary responsibility for managing the resources boom. PNG's economy is growing at 9 per cent in 2011. The promised bounty from the $15 billion ExxonMobil liquefied natural gas investment is but one source of increased wealth. Second, occupying ministerial offices leading up to elections in June 2012 is immensely advantageous. Having access to cash reserves and resources to invest in a campaign and fund the financial inducements that are crucial to success cannot be underestimated.
PNG has a robust and vibrant democracy. The impressive contribution of social media – Twitter, Facebook and the blogosphere – to providing information and encouraging debate throughout this crisis has highlighted the role an engaged and youthful citizenry in PNG can make to the nation. Addressing the expectations of the country's burgeoning younger generation for a fairer share of the nation's growing wealth and for better government services will be important for whatever government forms after the elections.
PNG would be better served by a fresh, younger and energetic government – like that O'Neill promised – capable of mobilising the nation's wealth to improve living standards. But it is also in PNG's interests to maintain the rule of law and respect for the constitution and for the separation of powers. These factors, together with the effective functioning of the key institutions of state, prevent PNG from becoming a failing state and help maintain confidence in foreign investors, which is vital for the nation's future. To date the public has not resorted to violence and there is no threat of the military interfering. The rule of law has prevailed among the intense political confusion.
The political impasse does not augur well for confidence in political actors as PNG prepares for general elections in June.
There have been suggestions that a way out of the political impasse could be found by the formation of a government of national unity. While it would be hard to convince the competing prime ministers and it may be outside the remit of the constitution, there are merits to this suggestion. A national unity government would be only temporary as it would be dissolved when the election writs were issued. It would force both sides to act in the national interest, enable the passage of vital legislation and give the public confidence in the political system following the current crisis. Importantly, it would remove the political advantage that the governing side has before the elections and establish a more level playing field for genuine and open electoral competition.

Sarah Jessica Parker Plays With Her Twins (PHOTOS)
Sarah Jessica Parker had bonding time with her twin daughters in New York City on Friday. The actress, who is also a very hands-on mother, took her two girls out for a walk in the West Village.
Still looking effortlessly cute, Sarah bent down to give her girls kisses as they walked around town. It's crazy how big Marion and Tabitha are getting!
SJP has been busy filming I Don't Know How She Does It in NYC, and it's hard not to think life is imitating art.
The fashionista, wife, socialite, and actress is always out and about but somehow manages for family to come first.

I spent a few days this past week talking with many people for a feature on Penguins C Evgeni Malkin, who appears poised for a career-best season – no small thing given he has twice posted 100-point seasons, won a scoring title and is a two-time runner-up for the NHL's MVP award. Of all the people with whom I spoke, one person interested Malkin most. That person was a fellow Russian and his idol, Igor Larionov.
Before interviewing Malkin I handed him my Blackberry to show him an email of the transcribed interview I conducted with Larionov earlier this week.
"It's tough still to read a book in English, but shortly I can do that too," Malkin said, though he did not struggle to comprehend the words from Larionov on the Blackberry screen.
One quote particularly struck Malkin.
"Geno makes people understand the game of hockey because he makes teammates better," Larionov said.
A wide smile overtook Malkin upon scrolling past that quote.
"Teammates," Malkin said. "I like what he (said) there."
Portions of the Larionov interview that did not make into my Sunday blowout on Malkin:
RR: If Malkin re-establishes himself as one of the NHL's elite players, what will that do for the perception of Russian hockey on a global level?
IL: When you have a big superstar in the NHL it makes a huge impact in Russia. It makes a big impression on Russians globally if, as it looks like, Evgeni is back at top of his game. It will be big for Russian hockey because the NHL is the best league in the world and for him to again be one of the best players should open doors, hopefully, for other younger Russians.
RR: Malkin is often compared to Alex Ovechkin, but they seem to be completely different people. Still, if they are rivals that means they are equals as superstars, and doesn't Russian hockey benefit most from that?
IL: They are different players. If you have a profile globally of a Russian player, Alex is that guy. He is in the public eye. Geno looks like a different guy to the public. He is friendly, quiet and doesn't want to be in the public with his life. But Russian kids see a smart, true professional.
RR: Malkin seems like a classic Russian player – humble, team-oriented and his own harshest critic. Do you see him as a throwback to the Russian stars of your day?
IL: Geno makes people understand the game of hockey because he makes teammates better. To me there is a certain way to accomplish fame and Evgeni has been doing this for years. When a player works hard and uses his skill and mind to be a team player, to win – there is a reward that is greater than fame. The Stanley Cup is that reward; not status, not stats. The Cup is the best fame, and that is the one thing Evgeni always talks about. That is what I like most about him.
RR: He seems to be more open at this point than at any time during his NHL career. Is that a sign of maturity or just his natural personality coming out as he grows more comfortable with the North American culture?
IL: You don't see him in the public eye in Russia. You don't see him in the press there. He doesn't seek fame. He hasn't in North America. It is not him. But for him to be more comfortable now with English, he is a guy people will like more and more.

Five months ago, Nerlens Noel wasn't even in the 2012 recruiting class, much less the top of the class. Now, he's being heralded as Anthony Davis 2.0.
Wednesday, the nation's top recruit chose Kentucky over Syracuse and Georgetown, signing a letter of intent in the first day of the spring signing period for basketball.
"I'll be taking my talents to play at the University of ...," Noel said, then he turned around to show UK shaved into the back of his head.
"(My mom) thought it was the best fit for me and I did too," he said.
But he wasn't always going to "take his talents" to college this soon. Noel, a 6-11 center from Everett, Mass., who plays for Tilton (N.H.) Prep, had played well over the past summer, showing he could be a shot-blocking machine while playing for the Boston Amateur Basketball Club. But he dropped back a grade after having knee problems and hadn't planned on graduating until next year.
Not long after he dominated Michigan signee Mitch McGary at the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass., in January, scoring 22 points with eight blocks, he decided to reclassify to his original grade, making him a senior now.
Another elite defensive big man, Davis, led Kentucky to the national championship as a freshman. Some see Noel, who averaged 12.6 points, 3.9 blocks and 7.9 rebounds this season at Tilton, as capable of a Davis-type impact next season.
"We just watched Anthony Davis dominate the national championship game, almost without scoring a point, and Noel impacts the game in a big way defensively," said ESPN recruiting analyst Dave Telep. "We also saw an uptick in his offense, which is why we put him at No. 1 in our rankings."
While Noel has yet to play a college game, he has more than 19,000 followers on Twitter and a nickname "The Eraser" that refers to his shot-blocking prowess and the shape of his high-rise flat-top haircut.
The barber who cut the UK into Noel's hair was a little torn about the attention his styling got on ESPNU.
"He didn't tell me what he was getting until he got in my chair," said James McDonald of Charlotte's V.I.P. Barbershop. "I'm used to doing logos and things on people's heads. A lot of people here get (Carolina) Panther logos. I was excited for him to get to play for a team of his dreams, but it was a little bittersweet for me to see my work messed up a bit (on TV) by his wearing a hoodie all day to keep it secret."
Noel's older brothers play Division I college football. Joe Noel will be a senior defensive back at Boston College this fall, and Rodman Noel will be a sophomore linebacker at North Carolina State.

But he said he hoped investors would recognise the reasons behind the stoppage, "a precautionary step" to ensure waste water was properly managed at the Ranger site, which lies surrounded by the Kakadu national park in the Northern Territory.
"I really think this is a decision which goes to the values of the company," Mr Atkinson said in an interview, adding that the stoppage could be shorter than 12 weeks if the weather is dryer than forecast.
"Water management is a key part of our business, probably moreso than any other business in Australia, and it's something that we take as very important and we're certainly prepared to take a hit on production if it means making sure we manage the water successfully," he said.
Particularly heavy rains experienced at the Ranger site since October have filled up the tailings dam, taking it close to capacity. Halting the milling of ore will provide extra capacity in the pond to allow for what is expected to be a continuing rainy next three months.
"We think this is the prudent thing to do as a precautionary step," Mr Atkinson said. "Given the forecasts that we've seen from the Bureau of Meteorology, what we've seen on the east coast and also after experiencing a heavier than normal wet season I would certainly prefer not to take any risks with the business."
The mine will continue as normal during the 12-week plant shutdown, giving the mining team an opportunity to stockpile ore and also to carry out waste stripping, which is typically done during the wet season.
"Hopefully we'll be able to come out of this in better shape, better availability, better reliability, and we'll really come out at full steam," Mr Atkinson said.
News of the shutdown, combined with the announcement of a 83 per cent slump in full-year net profit, knocked 13 per cent off ERA's share price last Friday, taking the stock to $10.34. The stock has now halved in the past 12 months, wiping about $2 billion off its market value.
The shutdown will increase ERA's costs per tonne of production but Mr Atkinson said the company would be working to minimise those effects. It has no intention of reducing staff numbers, however, he emphasised.
He said he hoped investors wouldn't miss the positive aspects of Friday's announcements.
"I certainly hope that what is not lost in the announcements today has been strong safety performance, record plant performance, and it also gives us an opportunity to set ourselves up very well for when we do resume production after this period of suspension," Mr Atkinson said.
He added that while initial expectations are for 2011 output to be roughly flat with last year, ERA will provide more detailed guidance in its March quarter report, after the worst of the wet season.
Mr Atkinson added that he hoped the company would make "significant progress" this year on both its heap leach project and its Ranger 3 Deeps project.

Semi Truck Driver Kills 2 Injures 4 on PA I-70; Charged with Homicide By Vehicle
SOUTH STRABANE, Penn. — A semi truck driver was traveling west on the Interstate 70 in Washington County on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when he drove his tractor trailer across a grassy median hitting two cars that were traveling in the opposite direction, crushing a Maryland woman and her adult daughter to death in their Dodge Charger. Four other people were injured.
The accident occurred just before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24, just west of the Lakeview Drive overpass, closing the eastbound lanes for several hours. Authorities told the media that weather due to a light snowfall was not a factor in the crash.
The accident also caused a Chevy Trailblazer traveling on the I-70 to drive into the roof of the overturned 18 wheeler. Four people in the SUV, including two children, were injured. Police did not name the children. Brandy Lynn Gray, 33, of Scenery Hill and one of the child passengers were injured seriously, police said. Driver Darlene Gray, 59, of Washington and the other child sustained moderate injuries.
The trucker, 44-year old Yevgeniy Bugreyev of West Sacramento, Calif.,was charged with two counts of homicide by vehicle by state police. Bugreyev was arraigned Saturday afternoon in Washington before District Judge Robert Redlinger, who set his bond at $1 million pending a preliminary hearing.
The two victims were identified by Washington County Coroner Tim Warco as 57-year old as Karen Babka and her daughter 21-year old Kaitlin Babka, both of Hughesville, Md.
The incident remains under investigation at this time.

My basic review of a new technological advancement it starts up well, looks quite awesome, is simple to run and actually power resourceful, the technology really is a fine product. I'm pleased I bought it, read more below.
Scientists functioning at the University West of England (UWE) in Bristol, United kingdom, have worked out a way to power a mobile phone with Human urine.
The company have been able to charge a Samsung phone by putting the liquid through a cascade of microbial fuel cells. Using this method, enough power has been produced to send text messages, browse the Net and even make a short telephone call.
According to the scientists in charge, the next stage is to fully charge the device with pee...I assume cleaning their hands immediately afterwards.
Dr. Ioannis Ieropoulos has labored for ages with microbial energy cells; he is considered to be an expert in harnessing energy from unusual sources. The potential applications of his work are very appealing from an environmental perspective.
Dr. Ieropoulos said, "We're very excited as this is a world first, no-one has harnessed power from pee to do this so it truly is an interesting finding. Using the ultimate waste product as the supply of power to provide electricity is almost as eco as it takes." Eco-friendly tech is, obviously, the good doctor's main area of curiosity.
The microbial cells work as the energy converter, they turn the organic matter directly into electricity, via the metabolism of live microorganisms. The electricity is the by-product of a microorganism's natural life cycle, meaning that as they 'eat' the urine, they produce power the energy that powers the mobile. Now that's what we call 'pee as you go'.
Bathroom humour aside, the team have engineered a world first, as nothing as large as a phone battery has ever been charged using this method before.
There are, at the present, no plans to market this tech on a huge scale, but perhaps someday we can be signing a 'P' mobile contract, the trick, as they are saying, will be pissistance.
PS – I'm sorry about this one. The task and its implications are actually amazing. All credit to the UWE team. On the other hand, I always wanted to do one to those 'And Finally' type tales and now I conclusively get to. Please forgive me, one and all.

We adore these with colby jack cheese broiled until crispy.

The federal government has launched a campaign to support Australian companies involved in the sports business sector that work on major sports events.
Targeting work in countries hosting or bidding for future major events such as the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and football world cups in Brazil, Russia and Qatar, Sports Minister
Senator Lundy told the crowd, which included sports ministers from Britain and Brazil and a large group of Australian corporate leaders, that, as on the playing field, Australian business "punched above its weight" in the sports business sector.
Senator Lundy cited small Adelaide company FTC Flames, which specialises in the design and manufacture of flame effects for ceremonial and sporting events and the supplier of the gas burning system used to ignite the cauldron during the opening ceremony on July 27, as an Australian success story in the sector.
Australian companies have also been involved in the manufacturing of the artificial hockey pitch, as well as building the Olympic Village and supplying the technology used for Polecam and Divecam at the Aquatic Centre.
"It highlights the Australian sports business capacity and what is a highly capable sector with a strong track record," Senator Lundy said.
"The sector is innovative and as a platform for business there is just about none better than the world of sport."
The Track Record initiative is an 80-strong Australian business directory that can be downloaded as an Apple or Android app.
It is part of a wider Australia Unlimited campaign that promotes Australia's creative, economic and corporate credentials through Austrade.

The humanities by nature engage fundamental questions of human life and explore the cultural expressions humans have produced in response to their reflections. Whether the concern is the individual search for meaning or the nurturing of civic awareness in service to society as a whole, the humanities provide a rich venue for shared inquiry into the pressing human dimensions of the challenges we all face in living. But such engaging humanities explorations should not only be the private preserve of the undergraduate classroom, since the diverse communities of our society are in serious need of the opportunity to join carefully considered conversations on issues of contemporary significance through respectful discussion and debate in order to learn from one another.
The humanities have the capacity to transform individual lives through the discovery of meaning, and to transform society through the discovery of shared civic ideals. The Center for Public Humanities' role, therefore, is to kindle the conversation and invite more people to it. In this spirit the Center seeks to bring together collegiate faculty and students together with secondary school teachers, cultural and civic leaders, and potential learners whose resources and life situation have discouraged them from considering a college education. Such a public humanities outreach program has the power to transform individual lives and communities, and is very much in keeping with the College's mission of preparing all for lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation.
To realize its goals, the Center sponsors innovative forms of public humanities outreach through a variety of collaborative programs. Working groups of faculty and student fellows, as well as individual faculty members and students, have opportunities to offer their expertise to the wider community through service, teaching, and public speaking. In addition to off-campus outreach and collaboration with other humanities-based organizations (schools, libraries, museums, regional societies, state councils, colleges and universities), the Center sponsors a variety of public events on campus as a service to the wider community. In fact, the Center for Public Humanities is an enabling agent to bring together various groups interested in humanities-based education, cultural events, and civic issues of contemporary significance.

I found a pill in my son's pocket it is straight white pill with gg 2 4 9 on it what is it?
Answers: There are various drug/pill identification websites. I put your pill in google and it produced something called "Alprazolam" which is a group of antidepressants/anti-anxiety pills. The site I saw had pictures of pills and variations of drugs in that group (http://www.drugs.com/imprints.php?action...
If I were you, I'd research it on google and see where it leads. Key words such as "pill identification", "gg 249 pill", etc. should provide you with a wealth of the most accurate information you can actually get short of a pharmacist. Not to mention, a pharmacist may also use his own pharmacology database to identify the pill. I would, as others have mentioned, take the pill to a pharmacist as well and ask for help in identification.
Take it to your local pharmacy.
I don't know but if you call poison control they may be able to help you .
ask him. Oh, You were snooping, nevermind.
Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug from the class of benzodiazepines. It's a Schedule IV controlled substance.
The pill you described is alprazolam.
Here is what it's used for
You'll get the most accurate answer from a pharmacist.
Is it Long, like a oval rectangle type thing, and going down it u have GG then under it 2|4|9.then its Alprazolam, its for anti anxiety,
Alprazolam is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class used to treat anxiety disorders and as an adjunctive treatment for depression. It is also used as a medication to help aid in the beginning treatment of SSRI type drugs, since these can notoriously cause anxiety in the beginning of use.
yup, it's alprazolam, generic name for Xanax, a benzodiazipine, in other words a sedative, and can be addictive, even dangerous if mixed with alcohol. I suggest you need to have a long talk with your son.
I don't know but just a suggestion-- don't get mad at him, just have a calm nice talk and that will scare him that you found it and he will know not to do it agian. Thats just opposed to you getting mad and him getting depressed and seeking drugs or better methods of concieling them. Young people experiment. It happens.
Alprazolam. Its an antianxiety pill that can also be used to treat depression. heres the website I looked up for the side effects... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/alprazolam#...
yup - like others have said ...
check out ...
The Ol' Sasquatch Ü
alprazolam...also known as xanax. Its used to treat anxiety disorders. If your son hasn't been prescribed it, then he is abusing it. Many people buy them off of the street to get high. If your son has been especially lazy or "down" then this drug is why. From what I have heard, the drug makes you not care about anything. Anyway, this is a popular drug to abuse-especially among teens. You should get him help if he hasn't been prescribed this med. Here's a website with prescribing info http://www.drugs.com/mtm/alprazolam.html...
Also, here's info about the abuse of the drug...http://www.alprazolam.cc/xanax-bars-fact...
Hi Keri, as I always do, I checked out what the others said and some are correct. It appears to be the drug they describe, so now comes the question: why did he have it and more importantly, whom did he get it from? How old is he? I have a 15 yr. old son is HS and some of the stuff he tells me, scares the dickens out of me. May I suggest you sit down with him for a real one on one. If you have a good relationship with him, by all means, have a good talk. If not, you have to watch what he does, where he goes and whom he is with very closely. Did it come out of his school clothes? In that case, I'd involve the school counselor, there might be a problem in his school. Be that as it may, it is imperative that you don't lose your cool right now. You'll run the risk of losing your child then. This drug is nothing to play around with. It is addictive and only available by prescribtion. Don't let off either. If he does ingest this on a regular basis without being monitored by a doctor, it could be very harmful. Especially, if he suddenly comes off it. In either case, like some members suggested, take the pill to a pharmacist to make certain it is what it seems, before you confront your child. But please do talk to him. Calmly and collectively. There is power in knowledge! Good Luck to both of you. MsB.
