One of the best things about Linux is that there's literally a distribution for everybody. Linux offers users the greatest range of choices of any desktop operating system. But do we need even more options? Softpedia thinks that we do and explains the advantages of having more desktop environments and distros.
According to Softpedia:
What people don't really understand is that Linux needs as many Linux distributions and desktop environments as possible, much more than it has now. This is not about competition, but the other way around, it's about completion.
If someone makes something good, all the other developers will want to have it. This is one of the most important ways in which a project is capable of influencing another project without actually sharing code. This can only be efficient if there are many people out there doing similar, but parallel work.
If developers were to gather around a few major projects, like some members of the Linux community would suggest, these kinds of innovations would be much less frequent. The same is true for Linux distributions and any other kind of applications.More at Softpedia
I've always believed "the more, the merrier" when it comes to Linux so I'm inclined to agree with Softpedia's take on this. Innovation often comes from different people offering their own ideas about how to do something, and that helps push Linux development further along with each software iteration.
Pear OS downloads continue
Softpedia also reports that Pear OS downloads continue despite the fact that the distribution was sold to an undisclosed company a while back.
According to Softpedia:
What's even more interesting is the fact that Pear OS continues to be downloaded quite a lot and surpasses some newly launched Linux distros that promise support for a long time. Since the developer announced the end of Pear OS in January, the distribution was downloaded from Softpedia over 35,000 times, with an average of 300 downloads every day.
To end this with a fun trivia fact, Pear OS was forked shortly after its closure by a developer. The new Clementine OS was announced, but its developer received a letter from an American company that forced him to abandon the project. The name of the company was not revealed, but the Clementine developers said that it wasn't Apple.More at Softpedia
The mystery of who bought Pear OS continues, and I find it more than a little amusing that so many people are still downloading it. How odd that a Linux distribution made to resemble OS X has gotten so much attention, and generated so much interest in the Linux community. It's a strange story all around.

The Publishing Queue is the place in SDL Tridion where the workload of the content (to be) published to websites is visualized and managed. This eXtension adds a �Publish� option to the context menu on the Publishing Queue. At first glance this looks superficial, but it enables an item to be republished with changed publication options (e.g. other websites or override priority). The publishing uses standard SDL Tridion publishing, so the item is fully rendered, scheduled, prioritized and deployed again.
The eXtension leverages standard SDL Tridion GUI code to pop up the Publish dialog, and to support multiple selections. It uses the GUI extension mechanism to extend the context menu in the Publishing Queue.
This building block is a GUI Extension and should be installed using the TCM Extension Installer. On a standard installation of Tridion, the command line might be something like:
C:\Program Files\Tridion\bin\TCMExtensionInstaller.exe �add Extension.zip
These are the most popular Building Blocks. Did you already get them?

The Disney Princesses and Sexism
I found this picture on feministing yesterday. Considering the response to my last post about Disney, I thought you guys might find this pic interesting.
I think the sexism they point out in the picture is legitimate as far as plot lines go, but statements like, "Her only asset, physical beauty…" and "her only asset, sexuality" get to me a little bit. Sure, I think Disney created some pretty sexist characters here. But they weren't exactly dumb bimbos who acted without any purpose throughout the entirety of the movies.
As I recall, I actually identified with Belle quite a bit because we were both voracious readers. I'd say an appetite for literature is a pretty good asset to have. And Jasmine was totally empowered by demanding to marry only who …

Erigena teaches the restitution of all things under the form of the Dionysian adunatio or deificatio.
The Scholastic philosophy sent forth such daring thinkers as Erigena and Abélard.
Two medallions of Alfred and Erigena ornament the outside of the Hall, so as to overlook the field of battle.
Erigena translated Dionysius into Latin along with the commentaries of Maximus, and his system is essentially based upon theirs.
Perhaps John, called the Scot or Erigena, also came, but we do not know certainly.
Necessarily, therefore, Erigena fell under the displeasure of the Church.
Erigena is the most interesting figure among the middle-age writers.
Erigena, Joannes Scotus, 417;the modern founder of the school of pantheism, 424.
At this same palace school half a century later the Irishman Scotus Erigena exhibited his learning, wit, and logical acumen.
Erigena in all probability never left France, and Haurau has advanced some reasons for fixing the date of his death about 877.

Brad Pitt Throws Matthew McConaughey a Hopitoulas IPA in New Orleans
The Internet is treating this like it's some kind of landmark exchange of resources between two superpowers . . . and it's hard to argue that it's NOT.
On Saturday, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY was hanging out with friends on a balcony in New Orleans, when someone on the balcony noticed that BRAD PITT was on a balcony across the street.
They acknowledged each other, and it was somehow decided that Matthew needed a cold beer . . . and Brad just happened to have one. So he tossed a Hopitoulas IPA by Nola Brewing Co.. And someone just happened to catch the whole thing on video and in a series of photos.
(Here's the video.. You'll notice that Saints quarterback DREW BREES was part of Matthew's party posse.)
Brad was in New Orleans for a charity event . . . at which he grabbed a tambourine and joined BRUNO MARS for a little "Get On Up".

You look amazing!
Thank you! I'm going to DC to my niece's wedding leaving on Friday so I do plan to spend some time on a style. It will probably be a strawset since I've mastered it and don't want to risk a bad hair day on Saturday. I'll strawset on Thurs. night keep the curls unseparated until right before the wedding on Sat. and then separate and fluff. I like Nikki's twist & curl styles but so far its been hit or miss for me and my hair don't always come out just right and my natural curl is basically gone thanks to Henna. If I brush it w/ my Goody brush its darn near frizzy straight. It takes nothing to zap it straight with my Sedu flat iron w/one pass. I just enjoy practicing the natural styles and only use the iron occassionally.
I know this is too long. I'll post a photo after the wedding.
No more $248.25/mo train pass to buy and its the same train (different route) that had the big crash with the Engineer sending text messages--since I'm now riding with my oldest daughter, who is a lawyer and has a Hybrid car, I'm enjoying sitting back and relaxing. I'm really enjoying having her take care of Mom. She drops me off and picks me up at my job. What I poured into her is coming back to me. I'm blessed!!! I know this is off subject. Just wanted to let you guys know that in spite of my husband going home to be with the Lord, my family has kept my spirits high and that I'm fine.

Using `thread' seems fine, but I recommend triggering an update by calling `refresh' on a canvas instead of `on-paint'. Calling `refresh' queues a refresh event for the canvas, which will be handled in the GUI's main thread. Calling `on-paint' directly from a thread, in contrast, means that your `on-paint' might run in two threads at the same time.

Streets in Wanstead are going to be deep cleaned to get rid of stains and chewing gum.
Paved areas of the High Street from Grove Park to Cambridge Park, Grove Park to Nightingale Lane and from Nightingale Road to Wellington Road will be included.
The total cost of this will be £12,500 with half of it being taken from the Area One Committee discretionary budget and the other half being match funded by Highways.
Councillor Sue Nolan welcomed the move saying that after a walk along Wanstead High Street the amount of chewing gum was "disgusting".

Mojo Juju releases new single & announces tour dates!
Mojo Juju Celebrates the Release of Pulsing New Single
'Think Twice' with a String of Live Dates through August/September
Dame Joan Sutherland has been remembered as an unassuming legend of the opera world at a state memorial service in Sydney.
Thousands of people packed into the Opera House to honour La Stupenda, or the stunning one, who died at her home near Geneva last month aged 83.
The morning service opened with an orchestral piece from the Australian Opera and Ballet orchestra. A 1976 video recording of Dame Joan singing Lakme Bell Song at the Opera House followed.
On a stage lined with flowers, Prime Minister Julia Gillard praised Dame Joan as the "greatest singer of the 20th century" in her opening address. "And, of course, it is fitting that we gather here at the Opera House," Ms Gillard said. "Where better to say goodbye to the greatest singer of the 20th century than in the greatest building of the 20th century?" Ms Gillard furthered her praise of Dame Joan by predicting that no one would ever rival her talents. "We will not look upon her like again," she said. "A figure of this stature comes along once in a century and, in Joan Sutherland, Australia has been richly blessed. "So today across our nation, flags stand at half-mast and our people unite in gratitude for this final farewell."
Former Opera Australia artistic director Moffatt Oxenbould also spoke of Dame Joan's jaw-dropping talent. "Dame Joan was undoubtedly one of the greatest singers the world has ever known; an artist who richly deserves the honorific 'prima donna'," he said. He said Dame Joan was as humble and down-to-earth as she was gifted and successful. "Her public loved her and she loved them back," Mr Oxenbould said. Two years after her retirement in 1990, Dame Joan told Oxenbould she missed the people she worked with more than being on stage. "She thrived on a camaraderie founded on mutual trust, respect and affection," he said. "This precious lady now has a high place in the pantheon of the lyric stage as one of the finest artists of any generation forever woven into music's history."
Dame Joan's husband and collaborator, Richard Bonynge, could not be at the ceremony. Their son, Adam Bonynge, delivered the eulogy he gave at her small funeral in Switzerland last month, describing her as a loving and dedicated mother who was "the most unassuming person you could ever meet".
Thousands packed the Concert Hall to hear tributes to the soprano and watch excerpts from her career, including performances from Lucia Di Lammermoor, Lakme and La Traviata. The musical program was put together by Opera Australia's current artistic director, Lyndon Terracini.
Notable guests at the service included foreign minister Kevin Rudd, NSW Premier Kristina Keneally, NSW Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell, Margaret Whitlam, Ros Packer, Bell Shakespeare founder John Bell, theatre director Neil Armfield, NSW Art Gallery director Edmund Capon and composer Richard Mills.
Long-time fan Fern Wolfe was also in the audience. "I just feel I need closure," she said. "I've been to every one of her performances in Sydney. She's given me and my late husband such a lot of enjoyment. I just really want to say goodbye. Hours, hours of enjoyment, both here and playing the records. "It's a big loss for the country, the world," she added.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – With the offseason coming to a close, the Saint Leo University volleyball team is set to announce its upcoming 2014 schedule. The Lions' competitive season features five teams ranked on the final AVCA Division II poll and three regional champions from the 2013 campaign.
Head coach Sam Cibrone's squad ended 2013 with a South Regional tournament appearance after finishing third in the Sunshine State Conference behind a 23-11 overall record. Cibrone enters his eleventh season at the helm of the program and owns a 185-133 record during his tenure. The 2014 season boasts 34 games, nine of which will be played at home in the Marion Bowman Center.
The Lions will look to the senior leadership of Tawni Warren, Lauren Campbell, Alexa Griffith-Hardy and Yaidimar Santiago to continue last season's success.
Outside hitting tandem Campbell and Warren were first and second on the team in kills respectively, as the former grounded 384 while the latter amassed 314. Campbell was second on the team with 296 digs while Warren served up a team leading 38 aces in her junior campaign.
Griffith-Hardy electrified the right side with 195 kills at a torrid .330 attack percentage. Libero Santiago anchored the Saint Leo defense, setting the single-season dig mark with 549 her junior year.
Sophomore outside hitter Hope Lemon will look to build off a promising freshman season where she grounded 172 kills at a polished .310 attack clip.
The Green and Gold will begin the season in the Alaskan frontier, playing a pair of foes in Alaska-Anchorage and 2013 East region winner, LIU-Post. The four-game set is slated for the weekend of Sep. 5 before returning to Florida for the Lynn University Tournament. The event features competition from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, Fort Valley State and Colorado Christian as the Saint Leo squad will play seven contests in a short two-week span.
The team opens SSC play the following weekend, facing FIT in the home-opener. After concluding the first round of conference play, the Lions will begin another set of back-to-back tournament appearances, opening the Palm Beach Tournament against reigning Atlantic regional victor Wheeling Jesuit. The tournament begins Oct. 11 and features a Saturday doubleheader against WJU and Cedarville followed by a Tuesday showdown with Weber International (Oct. 14).
Saint Leo will play a set of crucial regional opponents in the annual South Region Crossover, hosted by Florida Southern. The Green and Gold open up play against top-25 talent West Florida on Oct. 17, and then finish the day facing North Alabama. Day two showcases Valdosta State and Lee University to round out the crossover.
The regular season will conclude with the second round of SSC contests before awaiting postseason selection in November.

Interest in Bonds waning?
We may find out as the Barry Bonds watch continues. Bonds went homerless for the 19th time in the past 21 games Tuesday night and the media is either losing interest or has reached the limit on the company credit cards. At least five national writers have pulled off the chase in the past week and more may drop off if Bonds doesn't homer soon. A noticeable number of fans even left the ballpark after the eighth inning Tuesday despite the fact that Bonds was due up in the ninth.
The Giants are playing a day game against the Cardinals Wednesday, which normally would mean a day off for Bonds. But these are unusual times. Manager Felipe Alou said he'll make a decision after seeing how Bonds feels in the morning while Bonds said after Tuesday's game that he wasn't sure whether he'll play. The Giants have Thursday off before starting a three-game series against the Rockies on Friday.

Anyway, let's see. I'm a math geek at core, but I get my salary from computer programming. I've been in Pittsburgh a few years now. One time, I actually understood directions to "turn where the gas station used to be".
I spend a good deal of my free time swing dancing! Pittsburgh has a fun and friendly scene. (Single ladies: If you already dance or want to learn, that's awesome, but if not, that's cool too.)
I can slip silently into the background without even trying. Sort of a bad habit, actually. But when I'm comfortable and among friends, I can let my sillier side out for a while.
My motto: Never treat anything too seriously.
I am goofy, intellectual, and caring.
Piano, though it's just something I do for fun. I have a backpack full of books with classical, jazzy, and Christian music, plus combinations of the above.
Math, but I already said that.
Languages. I'm pretty darn good in German and can follow a bit of Koine (biblical-era) Greek and a smidgeon of Hebrew.
Movies: All Pixar movies. Napoleon Dynamite, Forrest Gump, Star Wars series (even the prequels), Princess Bride, Truman Show.
Television: Nope. The ads these days are too much of an assault on the brain. Well, okay. I did get a brief Hulu subscription just to watch Firefly, and did not regret it.
Music: Swing music, pop classics, jazz, the "Oldies", and a few other things from before I was born.
Food: Yes.
Or you want to know more about swing dancing in Pittsburgh.
Or you just have an interesting comment or any other reason to drop a line.

Home educators putting on Christmas pageant Sat.
From Staff Reports
Nov 29, 2007 - , 2007 - The Christmas story will be re-enacted by a group of almost three dozen youths at a Christmas pageant Saturday.
The Christian Home Educators of Sulphur Springs are presenting the pageant, compiled by Marci Kerby, in two performances at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at First Assembly of God, 434 Jefferson St. There is no admission charge.
Kerby said 35 home-schooled students in fourth through 12th grade are working on the production.
"It's similar to 'The Nativity Story,'" said Kerby, who came up with the story, in part borrowing from other sources. "It's a full-blown play. It's going tobe a pretty big deal. It's big to us, anyway."
The pageant, "Zoe's Christmas," focuses on a young girl who is torn between the call to the mission field and her parents' desire for her to attend college. When her Bible falls to the floor and opens to the Christmas story, the play acts out the events. The story provides a parralel parable for the concept of God calling people to take on awesome responsibilities.
The performance culminates in "a full-blown Nativity."
The 35 students involved in the production serve as cast and crew for the production.
"Some are working behind the scenes with props and sound or the spotlight," Kerby said. "We've been working all week with the props."
A final dress rehearsal was scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

Anna Faris is a long way from her Playboy bunny character in 2008's The House Bunny.
In The Dictator she plays crunchy Brooklyn co-op owner who falls for a Middle-Eastern despot (Sacha Baron Cohen). The traditional blond-bombshell Faris underwent a short, dark haircut and showed off some serious underarm growth - all of which, she admits, was hers.
"(The filmmakers) said if you don't feel like growing it out, we can glue something on," says Faris. "I was like no way. I can do this."
She adds, "Turns out it was a big deal. It defined my summer. It was really uncomfortable, kind of grotesque. I just didn't realize that I could grow so much."
Husband Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) was supportive. "He is so great, he was like, 'You own that, go for it,' " says Faris. "He was probably secretly gagging."
The moment Faris wrapped up her scenes, she immediately "hopped in the shower, trimmed it, shaved it and clogged the shower."
She adds, "I think the production office called saying, 'Just in case, can you keep you're armpit hair for a while?' I said, 'Nope, it's all gone.' "

Some data centers use biometric scanners to control access. Others use ID cards. Here's an access control strategy that probably never occurred to you: put the data center in the women's restroom. The Daily WTF shares the unusual story of a company that was forced to relocate its offices within its building, with implications for access to its existing server room. Here's an excerpt from the internal email:
As you all are aware, we have new tenants that have moved into the 2nd floor suites. The access to the server room is now via the women's bathroom. There will be a sign on the woman's door that can be changed from OPEN to CLOSED and vice versa. Should you need to enter the server room, please change the sign to CLOSED. Once you are done, please change it back to OPEN. Once you enter the bathroom, you will be able to access the server room via the handicapped stall. Please close the stall door prior to entry, just in case someone doesn't see that the bathroom is closed. I know this isn't ideal, but if we adhere to this protocol, I don't think anyone will be disrupted.
Is this story for real? There are few details, but there's a photo. Read The Stalled Server Room to see it.

Washington (CNSNews.com) – A survivor of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in China appealed to President Barack Obama during a press conference on Tuesday to push Chinese President Hu Jintao to end the practice of forcing women to have an abortion as part of China's one-child-per-couple policy.
"President Obama, we're speaking to you as the president of this great nation, we also speak to you as a great father for your two beautiful children," said Chai Ling, who came to the United States in 1990 and founded All Girls Allowed, a Christian organization that helps Chinese victims of forced abortions and sterilization in China and works to end the practices.
"Just imagine, just imagine, among your two beautiful children, all you are allowed to have is one; the other one has to be put to death," Ling said.
"And President Obama, just imagine, among your two beautiful girls, if none of them would be allowed to live because they are only, and only because they are girls."
Ling began her remarks by citing chilling statistics about the forced abortion and sterilization policy in
"As we gather here in Washington, over 35,000 forced and coerced abortions are taking place today in China; every 2.5 seconds a precious baby's life is taken; among every six baby girls, one will never be born simply because she is a girl; 500 women will commit suicide, at five times the world average rate; 3,000 baby girls are abandoned on street corners; and more than 200 children and women are trafficked into slavery," Ling said.
Reps. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and Frank Wolf (R-Va.) invited Ling and a large group of human rights activists to take part in the press conference, timed to coincide with the visit of the Chinese president.
Activists included former political prisoners and families of Chinese dissidents who have been jailed and tortured or have disappeared. Forced abortion was described at the conference as violence in
"I particularly want to mention Chinese women," Smith said. "The Chinese government's one-child-per-couple policy, with its attendant horrors of forced abortion campaigns and rampant sex-selective abortion, is, in scope and seriousness, the worst human rights abuse – the worst gender crime – in the world today.
"Few people outside
"As the U.S. China Commission summarized, the system is 'marked by pervasive propaganda, mandatory monitoring of women's reproductive cycles, mandatory contraception, mandatory birth permits, coercive fines for failure to comply and . . . forced sterilization and abortion,'" Smith quoted.
Reggie Littlejohn, president of Women's Rights Without Frontiers who has testified before Congress on human rights and forced abortions in
"When I say forced abortion I mean women are literally dragged out of their homes and off the streets," Littlejohn says in the video. "They can be jailed in family planning jail cells, forced to abort children that they want and this can happen all the way up to the ninth month of pregnancy. Some of these forced abortions are so violent that the women themselves die along with their full-term babies."
Smith recounted the testimony of a Chinese woman who told the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the U.S. Congress that she was forced to have an abortion.
"Since it did not come out as expected, they decided to cut my baby into pieces in my womb with scissors and then suck it out with a special machine," the woman said. "I did not have any time to think as this most horrifying surgery began by force. I could hear the sound of the scissors cutting the body of my baby in the womb.
"Eventually, the journey in hell, the surgery, was finished, and one nurse showed me part of a bloody foot with her tweezers," the woman said.
"Through my tears, the picture of the bloody foot was engraved into my eyes and into my heart, and so clearly I could see the five small bloody toes," the woman said. "Immediately the body was thrown into a trashcan.
"The one-child policy and forced abortion policy have killed millions of innocent lives in
Ling also spoke of the
"Yesterday we celebrated Dr. King's birthday," Ling said. "His passionate dream led to a generation and a world that restores life, value and dignity to all races. Today, we too have a dream," Ling said. "We dream a dream that will restore life, value and dignity to all children, all gender, in
"We dream a dream that tomorrow China's forced one-child policy will become history; we dream a dream that children will grow up with brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts; we dream a dream that all tears will be wiped from the faces of parents whose children were taken," Ling said.

An Arizona woman was arrested today on suspicion of crashing an SUV packed with illegal immigrants as she fled from U.S. Border Patrol agents, killing four of her passengers and injuring seven others, the Associated Press reports.
Casa Grande police arrested Angela Celaya Gonzalez, 29, on four counts of second-degree murder the same day she was released from a Phoenix hospital where she was treated for injuries from the crash, AP says.
Bond was set at $2 million. Gonzalez is accused of crashing the SUV into a wall while fleeing agents Wednesday. Gonzalez is accused of trying to smuggle the group into the United States.

City Chic Rooftop {Tablescape}
Today we would like introduce you to a new Floral Decor & Design Company, Nineteen Eighty Five. Christine recently met up with Jackie and Isabel, the two dynamic ladies behind Nineteen Eighty Five, in Illovo to shoot this chic rooftop table setting. Since a lot of the venues offer their clients round tables, they wanted to introduce a different take on the typical round table setting. For the table they sourced deep buttoned upholstered benches to offer alternative yet comfortable seating and combined it with signature arm chairs. And instead of one table arrangement they clustered vases of different heights adding simple flowers. We're loving the bright yellow billy ball flowers. The colour scheme they opted for was undertones of greys and taupe, with yellow as the complimentary colour. The bright yellow chesterfield worked great to combine old school charm with the modern urban setting. We would just like to thank Isabel and Jackie for helping us set up our stand at Kamers Irene. You were wonderful, such a joy to work with.

Private Mobile Safari
A week at Ndutu with no one else around. In May it can be either green and flush or turning dry. The migration is on the move at this time of year if rain has stopped. As we arrived at Ndutu I could see that this was the case and to our pleasant surprise no one else was camping there. We settled in for one of the best cat weeks I've ever had at Ndutu. The migration was 30 miles away so we did a day trip to see it – concentrated at Moru the wildebeest were tightly packed and moving .
A spectacular week and highly recommended if you have a spare seven days in May.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit MORE UMLAUTS!
World faces Umlaut shortfall due to learned articles about Motorhead on Uncyclopedia. In the short term semicolons can be recycled into commas with their top bits(to use the technical term) being refashioned into half Umlauts. Colons (or Guts) can be turned through 90 degrees and balanced on top of letters as an effective substitute for regular Umlauts. Amazingly,the Germans do not have a word for Umlaut, instead speaking of "those double dots we put over certain vowels to indicate a slight broadening of the sound". The seldom-appreciated, and even less remembered (except by its founding drunkards) English metal band, Overdose,went so far as to have an Umlaut on every vowel in their name,and their signature song was "I'm an all-out Umlaut Lager-lout (24 hours a day)".

Protesters march in London for Mideast ceasefire
Protestors in London march against the Middle East conflict.
Photo: AFP
Bianca Jagger, the daughter of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, has led a march through London to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East.
Police said between 7000 and 8000 people gathered at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park before marching past the US Embassy and on to Parliament.
Organisers - a coalition of peace, Muslim, Palestinian and Lebanese groups - said they expected more than 50,000 to join the march, demanding an end to fighting that has killed more than 600 people.
Many protesters carried Lebanese flags or placards with slogans including "Yo Blair, go Blair" - a reference to US President George Bush's overheard greeting to the British leader during last month's Group of Eight Summit.
"The demonstration shows the unity of any normal thinking person in this country that there should be an immediate ceasefire and that the government's line is incomprehensibly wrong," said Jeremy Corbyn, a government MP.
Jagger, a veteran peace campaigner, said the protest was not anti-Israel.
"I support the existence of Israel and I think we are wrong to say otherwise," she said. "But watching the images of innocent children dying as we have been for the last 24 days does not promote a peaceful solution in the region."
Blair postponed his summer holidays yesterday to stay in London to work towards an end to fighting.
Aides said he discussed the wording of a proposed United Nations resolution to stop the fighting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, French President Jacques Chirac, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and other leaders, and met with a delegation of Lebanese officials.
A spokesman said Blair was spending today on the phone and in briefings on the diplomatic and humanitarian situation in the Middle East.
US and French officials, who are leading the negotiations, have said they are close to agreement but that some issues remain unresolved.
Work and Pensions Secretary John Hutton denied reports of a rift within Blair's Cabinet over the prime minister's refusal to call for Israel to halt its offensive in Lebanon.
Blair has repeatedly said a ceasefire can happen only once the groundwork for a long-standing peace is in place.
"I think the government is very strongly behind what the prime minister is trying to do here, which is to find a way to build, yes, an immediate ceasefire that ends the death and destruction ... but then pUSin place a process where we can allow the peace and security in the region to begin again," Hutton told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

What does it take to convince someone to become an organ donor?
For Ora Carter of Harker Heights, it has been experiencing a life-threatening illness and losing two brothers to kidney disease.
Carter suffers from end stage renal failure brought on by undetected hypertension. She has already had one kidney transplant that lasted three weeks before her body rejected the organ due to a secondary blood-clotting disorder.
Three days a week, she goes for hemodialysis, which removes wastes and free water from her blood.
She has been on dialysis since 1995 and now because the veins in her arms, legs and stomach are no longer viable, she has a central line in her chest to connect her body to the machine.
"Yesterday the machine clotted off on me so they couldn't give me my blood back," Carter said. "I was really wiped out. When I got home, I couldn't even get up, and it messes with my eyesight."
According to OrganDonor.gov, there were 11,906 transplants from January through May 2009. The number of registered donors for the same period was 6,005, and the number of candidates on the transplant waiting list is 103,013, as of Aug. 11, 2009.
Carter said her family and friends offer to donate a kidney for her, but she explains to them that it would do no good to get a new kidney if her blood is going to clot and choke off the organ.
But new hope is on the horizon. She was recently referred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where she underwent a multitude of tests and consultations.
She plans to return there for her second transplant in September. Her brother will donate one of his kidneys. They told her they treat individuals with clotting disorders like hers.
"Johns Hopkins is the top in the nation," Carter said. "They told me I could use any kidney, it doesn't have to be a match."
Spending years on dialysis has torn her body down, Carter said. She used to be able to go out and do things after dialysis, but now she does well to just make it home. She relies on a large network of family and friends for support.
"It gets stressful sometimes and I just don't want anyone around me," she said.
For a while she was able to go into the dialysis center on her "days off" and talk with the other patients, especially those who are just starting treatment. She offered support and shared her experiences.
It's like a job and you have to keep going to this job if you want to live, Carter said. Many of the people she has grown to care about are no longer there.
"I wake up in the morning a lot of times and I just don't want to go," she said. "But I go and I haven't missed any dialysis."
It all started for Carter when a friend who is a nurse convinced her she needed to see a doctor after declining the friend's shopping invitation for the fourth time.
After being such an active individual, her friend recognized that Carter was tired, weak and not herself.
Her husband was in Germany at the time and she wanted to see what was going on before she told him she was sick, expecting that the doctor would fix the problem and she would be fine.
But the doctor directed her to contact her husband to return home immediately. She needed a biopsy but that couldn't happen because at that point she had only three-fourths of her kidney function left.
Now all of her family and everyone she knows are donors. People don't realize that after a family member dies, they can donate the organs, Carter said.
"We are not promised tomorrow – not the next few minutes," Carter said. "If you want to give the gift of life, be an organ donor."

FACIALLY hirsute men from across the UK will soon descend on Chelmsford.
The British Beard Club are coming to the Queen's Head pub in Lower Anchor Street on Saturday,February 15 to commemorate their fifth anniversary.
Men sporting a wide array of facial hair styles from simple moustaches to knee-length goatees are set to come from far and wide for the party.
It will be hosted by the Essex Beardsmen thatch, their name for a local branch, with members chatting about beard culture over a pint or two.
Alongside this, the group will also be on hand to give tips to anyone thinking of putting down their razor and growing a bristly bush on their face.
Founding member Frazer Coppin said having a beard is great fun and should be done by more men.
Mr Coppin, 54, who lives in Wivenhoe, said: "Women talk about make up and their hair all the time so there is absolutely no reason why men should not be talking about their beards.
"There has been a noticeable fashion change of late with events like Movember and famous guys like Jeremy Paxman growing beards.
"We are encouraging young people to grow beards because facial hair is free, it can change how you look and no-one can force you to shave it off, it is your choice."
The fun will begin at noon with the club's AGM being held first before the socialising takes off.
For more information about the event and the group, visit www.thebritishbeardclub.com or visit their Facebook page.

The internal accounting report the Florida GOP doesn't want you to see
Here is the Florida GOP's 2009 financial statement for the state party's core operations (the administrative side, as opposed to the political side). Chairman Jim Greer suggested it was an outdated document that doesn't reflect reality.
UPDATE: And the state GOP sent this statement in response: The attached document is one of many working budget documents and does not reflect all of the income received or the expenditures incurred by the Republican Party of Florida in 2009. The document was created at the request of Vice Chairman Cox. Mr. Cox is the only member of the committee who received the document and he was informed that it is not a complete representation of the Republican Party of Florida's financial situation. A complete representation of the Party's financial position can be found in our financial reports filed with the Division of Elections, which show not only that the Party has raised more than 8 million in 2009, but also that we are currently operating under a surplus.
UPDATE 2: Allen Cox responds: Aggregate funds received and reported by RPOF represent the funds of House, Senate, Cabinet, Governor and other monies which are deposited with RPOF for the benefit of the respective campaigns and candidates, as are aggregate expenses reported. The core administration expenses of RPOF have been approximately $4.0 million in deficit for calendar 2009, due to excessive travel, staffing, and consultant expenses. The RPOF core operations has repeatedly failed to be managed in a fiscally responsible manner. Simply put, spending by RPOF is out of control with no checks and balances, even though the accounting reports may be accurate.
A $4.0 million deficit is simply outrageous, and unsustainable.

Nathan Bracken hopes that tutorials from Wasim Akram and "double agent" bowling coach Bruce Reid will help boost his case as he aims to return to the Australian side for the Boxing Day Test against India.
After being named 12th man for the loss in Adelaide after his debut in the draw in Brisbane, Bracken's hopes for a recall in the crucial third Test appear to have been strengthened by the return of Brett Lee.
The pair worked well for NSW in its Pura Cup draw against Tasmania that finished on Monday. Bracken took an economical 4-113 from 60 overs for the match while at the other end, Lee took wickets but bled runs.
Bracken said the match highlighted the results of his work in the nets while 12th man in Adelaide, which had sharpened his in-swinger, in particular.
The 26-year-old feels he is benefiting from the help of former Australian paceman Reid, who honed his fellow left-armer's in-swinger during the winter. The pair's continuing relationship - albeit on a correspondence basis - paints Reid as either a cricketing philanthropist, or mercenary, or both, since he is also working for the other side as India's contracted bowling coach in this series.
But not content with one former left-arm paceman, Bracken will this week also seek out the best ever. Wasim is covering the series as a TV commentator, and Bracken intends to meet the former Pakistani great for some late pointers before Boxing Day.
"I spoke to Wasim on the Ashes tour in 2001, but I haven't had direct contact," Bracken said. "Now that he's here, it's a good opportunity to sit down and have a chat. Hopefully he's got a few other ideas to help me out as well."
Bracken said he was pleased that Reid was not devoting himself exclusively to India.
"He's working for both sides at the moment, which is good. He works with the NSW guys and helps us out a lot. A lot of it is through email contact, but anything he gives us helps out."
Bracken, of course, stands a chance of being left out of the XI again, with Brad Williams and Andy Bichel having performed creditably in Adelaide. He feels confident, however, that he will perform if given the chance.
"It was disappointing to be left out for Adelaide, but also, I spoke to selectors there and worked on things. It gave me an opportunity to work in the nets, and basically start to bowl really well and feel really comfortable. I think I showed that going back with NSW against Tasmania.
"I've started swinging the ball again. I'm just bowling well and I have confidence, especially with NSW, with Brett bowling at the other end. We just work together and keep it as tight as possible.
"He was bowling really well in the first innings against Tassie, taking wickets, so I just did my job and kept my line at my end and let him do the work at the other end.
"Whatever they ask me (in the Test), I'm happy to do. If they want me to go out there and try to take wickets, I'm happy to do that."
Bracken, who troubled the Indians greatly in the recent one-day series on their home turf, said he would draw much benefit from the rain-marred draw in Brisbane, where he dismissed opener Virender Sehwag twice in taking 3-102 from 30 overs for the match.
"The positive thing was I bowled well in patches and took a lot out of it. The nerves have settled and I feel a lot more comfortable now," said Bracken, who said he was hoping for a traditionally lively MCG pitch over the weekend.

On completion of the course all children will receive a York City F.C. Foundation certificate.
This can be added on to an in-school coaching programme or completed as a stand alone event.
The Foundation will organise a sponsored penalty shootout which is a great day for the children, and a good fundraiser for the school. All children and teachers in the school will be given the opportunity to take part in the penalty shootout. Each person takes 5 penalties against our goalkeeper, and the child that scores the most goals in each class will receive a prize.
Participants are provided with sponsor forms and will be required to return these with their sponsorship money within two week of the event. The monies raised will be then split 50/50 between the school/other organisation and York City Football Club Foundation.
The Foundation also offer incentives to help the children raise sponsorship:
Raise £25 or more and receive a signed York City ball
Raise £50 or more and receive a signed York City ball and two match tickets
Prizes will be presented following monies being returned.

Windsurfing: It's All About Balance
Windsurfing: It's All About Balance
A great way to enjoy the summer weather is to take advantage of lakes and oceans. The air is usually much cooler near the water and there are so many fun things you can do to work your body besides swimming.
Windsurfing is fun and feels adventurous. You can rent a board, thats what you stand on, and a rig - the sail, a mast and the boom (the bar you hold onto). The board and the rig together are sometimes referred to as a "kit." There is the uphaul, a rope attached to the boom and the bottom of the mast that you use to pull the sail up.
I'd highly recommend getting a lesson from an experience instructor. They can give you pointers on how to position your board in regards to the wind, how to pull the sail up without getting knocked over, how to stand and stay balanced on the board, as well as the simple but important skill of how to steer.
If you want to know more about getting started, then
It's a good idea to first start out on land. You've got to learn how to control the sail first without worrying about staying balanced on your board. You can do this by sticking the base of the mast (it has the sail attached) into the sand or ground. Practice holding the mast (sometimes it has a little handle on it) with one hand, and pulling the boom closer to you with your backhand - this is how you catch the wind and start moving.
When you get a handle on that, venture into some shallow water with just the board. Practice standing on it to get a feel for its movements. Then you can stick the mast into the center of your board and let the mast and sail float in the water (it can swivel down). Learning to pull your sail up by pulling on the uphaul rope is a little tricky so don't get frustrated if you fall off a million times. Remember laughing is a workout too.
Once you get the hang of staying up and slowly pulling the boom towards you to catch the wind, you'll be cruising along in no time. It's a great upper and lower body workout because you use all your muscles to try and stay balanced. Since it's challenging, it's a lot of fun, and once you get the hang of it, you'll feel so proud of yourself.
Here's a video explaining how to get your board ready, how to get on it, and how to do some basic windsurfing moves.

French designer Sinan Sigic of Atelier Hapax creates one-of-a-kind objects using recycled materials. This unique cat tree is made from an old lamp base wrapped with 444 meters of sisal rope. The base and shelf were added to give the cats a place to perch. Brilliant! I'm hitting the thrift stores this weekend to see what I can find for making something similar.
I'd love to see other creative ideas you might have for re-purposing objects to make beautiful cat-friendly pieces.
Thanks to Jaime from Design-Milk for passing this one along.

Al-Qaeda Coming Back Despite Obama´s Claims, Says Expert (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari 05/08/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/155562#.T6iaSeiO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
U.S. President Barack Obama said last week that the Al-Qaeda was on a path to defeat, but Seth Jones, a former U.S. Special Operations Command senior adviser, says the evidence he has collected points to the contrary.
Jones recently wrote a book called Hunting in the Shadows: The Pursuit of Al Qa´ida Since 9/11, in which he draws upon his expertise and thousands of pages of court transcripts, including wiretapped conversations and communications intelligence intercepts, to paint a picture of a terrorist organization that has been transformed, but not defeated.
Jones spoke with the U.S. News website last week about his theory of waves of violence from Al-Qaeda and what needs to be done to prevent the next cycle.
When you look at fatality data, what you see is three major waves of activity, he said. The first wave really begins around the time of the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 and crests around September 11 [2001]. And then it comes way down after that. By the invasion of Iraq [in 2003], we begin to see a major increase in Al-Qaeda attacks. And it first starts in Iraq itself, where Al-Qaeda in Iraq is established after the invasion. And then it starts to get reinvigorated overseasBali, Casablanca, Madrid, and a very successful attack in London. The third wave starts around 2008 and into 2009, in particular with Al-Qaeda´s successful establishment of a sanctuary in Yemen.
He noted that Those waves tended to rise when the United States and its allies have deployed large numbers of conventional forces to Muslim countries, Al-Qaeda has adopted a selective engagement strategy, and governments collapse in countries where Al-Qaeda has a support base. And these waves have tended to ebb when the United States and foreign powers have utilized a light-footprint, clandestine strategy, Al-Qaeda has embraced a punishment strategy that kills a large number of civilians and undermines its support, and local governments have developed competent security forces.
Jones noted that he believes that a fourth wave of attacks will probably begin to happen now.
The biggest variable is the weakness of multiple governments coming from Arab Spring, he said. Al-Qaeda activities, the number of attacks now, have actually increased, even around the time of [the killing of] bin Laden.
He added that Osama bin Laden´s death had a little bit of an impact on Al-Qaeda, mainly in the core element in Pakistan. He noted however, that, at the same time, and this is part of a conscious decision by Al-Qaeda, is they have established what you might call a mergers and acquisitions strategy, where they have reached out and cut deals with a range of affiliated groups.
These groups, Jones said, include Al-Qaeda in Iraq, al Shabaab in Somaila, as well as Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula based out of Yemen and Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb.
He said these groups clearly, especially with the Yemen group, have continued to plot attacks against the U.S. homeland and its interests, including U.S. embassies in Africa. If you take the formal affiliates and the less formal allies, what Al-Qaeda´s done is become a little more decentralized. The central part in Pakistan after bin Laden´s death is less important than it was.
Asked what advice he would give to President Obama today, Jones said, One, [I would emphasize] that Al-Qaeda is regenerating. And two, that we have got to focus our intelligence and special operations and FBI presence on probably about eight or nine countries, to work with their governments, including Afghanistan and Pakistan. We cannot leave in 2014 based on the trends right now in this area.
He concluded by saying that the U.S. should have a very robust special operations presence in Afghanistan.
Obama said last week his goal of defeating Al-Qaeda is within reach and that it´s time to turn the country´s attention to domestic concerns.
After more than a decade of war, it is time to focus on nation- building here at home, he said in his weekly radio and Internet address last Saturday, taking note of the agreement he signed with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, which shifts security to the Afghan people.
Obama said the nation now should concentrate on economic issues such as tax disparities and government spending.
That´s why I´ve called on Congress to take the money we´re no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt and use the other half to rebuild America, he said. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 05/08/12)

An independent security researcher has issued warnings through the federal U.S. Computer Emergency Response Readiness Team that utilities, traffic-management systems and other organizations in the U.S. are vulnerable to the same type of attacks that bedeviled Iran's nuclear development program in 2009 and 2010. According to researcher Luigi Auriemma, who posted the results on his Web site and on Bugtraq, four leading SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems contain security flaws, bugs and other vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote users connecting through the Internet.
The standout of the four products is, Siemens' Tecnomatix FactoryLink – an obsolete pharmaceutical and metals manufacturing application Siemen has announced it will replace by 2012 with replacing with a newer application called WinCC.
Oddly, WinCC is the application the Stuxnet virus targeted when it attacked the Iranian nuclear facilities.
Other companies with apps that appear vulnerable are the oil/gas/pharmaceutical industry application Genesis32 and Genesis64 from Iconics, utility automation developer 7-Technologies and oil/utility/transport software developer Datac's RealFlex.
Unlike flaws in most other types of software, SCADA vulnerabilities carry the risk that exploits could have direct, disastrous impact in the real world, rather than just the virtual one.
The Stuxnet virus, for example, attacked SCADA applications running on Windows computers, changing the way they interacted with thousands of high-speed centrifuges used to process nuclear materials to ensure the centrifuges were spinning at the wrong speeds, making them less effective.
The result was to hinder Iran's nuclear development effort. If the effect were a little more drastic, the result could have been to destroy the centrifuges, expose workers to radioactive material or cause other catastrophic problems in the fuel-refining process.
It's not as if those opposed to Iran's nukes avoid such drastic action. Two top Iranian nuclear scientists were murdered under suspicious circumstances during 2009 and 2010 and a third was critically wounded.
Iranian officials charge was developed and released by Western powers, probably Israel and the U.S. Israeli officials have acknowledged testing Stuxnet after it was found in the wild, but have been cagey about what other involvement Israel might have had.
Iran responded by expanding the militia it dedicates to cyberwar systems.
Terrorists attacking SCADA systems in the U.S. could potentially hinder or destroy automated industrial systems in hydroelectric dams, oil-refining facilities, water-processing facilities, traffic systems and other systems that make the real world work.
Hacking banks or the cell phones of celebrities may be sexier exploits because they make the hackers rich or famous. If they're serious about attacking the U.S. and making a real impact – killing people, damaging the economy or civil infrastructure, SCADA systems are the way to go.
Today's news just confirms what security experts thought – that SCADA systems running U.S. industrial facilities are vulnerable, and so are the people who rely on them.

text: Hyundai Debuts HCD-14 / Future Genesis Concept at North American International Auto Show KehlBayern January 21, 2013 Science & Technology Visually stunning Hyundai HCD-14 makes a splash at the 2013 Detroit North American International Auto Show. Hyundai debuts the new HCD–14 concept, which many have interpreted to be a future interpretation of Hyundai's Genesis coupe and sedan. With dramatic, futuristic styling that simultaneously evokes Audi and Chrysler, the HCD–14 is a dramatic turn in Hyundai's already well-received styling. Does the HCD–14 continue that trend? Is it more German roadster or angry kitchen appliance? Of course, many in the market won't care as long as the Genesis holds its own in performance if the concept were to ever become a reality.

I had laser therapy for the second time this past month and it was very painful during the procedure. Right away I developed large watery blisters that eventually turned into dark scabs. I have been soaking my legs in a bath for the past two weeks and using neosporin to fight infection.
The blisters broke and opened up. Three very sore areas became red around the lazer sites and inflamed. I called the drs' offcie 2 X and finally went up. The technician that did the lazer therapy took me into a room looked at my legs and said I looked normal. I was in a great deal of pain and did not like the red area around the sores. Finally after another week and not getting better, I called in and said I needed antibiotics becuse I feared I had a raging infection brewing.
I am into the 24th day and still feeling discomfort. I have deep scabs and redness around some areas. I feel I was literally burned during therapy. How can this procedure be run of the mill as I was told? Can you tell me if I am exeriencing a normal reaction or if something went wrong?
