Since Obito and Madara are like the 'leaders' of the villians at this moment I think that if I was them what my war plan would be.
1. Would have Zetsu attack the Villages. Why so? Because all of the shinobi are in one place. And if squads have to go away from that war zone to protect the villages making that Win chances of them a little bit better. (We saw how it was before. )
2. Previous Kages of the villages attack them. Why so? Wouldn't that be badass to have their current Kages VS the Old Kages?
3. Kill Sakura, and Hinata. Why so? Hinata Naruto, Naruto Sakura, Sakura Sasuke *I support NaruHina* and Naruto will go berserk either way.. even if it was Sasuke.

One of the aims of this meeting is to allow researchers to gain a background in areas that they may know little about. Towards that end a number of tutorials are planned. Some participants in the conference may be interested in learning about technical matters such as EEG or other important brain imaging techniques. Others might enjoy a seminar on a philosophical topic, or a tutorial on relevant matters in cognitive psychology. Tutorial presenters are expected not to present just only their own material, but to give a broader tutorial overview and encourage discussion and debate.
Tutorials will be held in parallel sessions on the morning and afternoon of 5 June 2009. Each tutorial is intended to last approximately three hours. The size of the tutorial audiences will vary between a minimum of 10 to a maximum of around 35 attendees. The cost of attending a tutorial is 50 euros. Tutorials that do not achieve the minimum enrolment of 10 people may not be offered.

Tutorial M1: Willpower: From metaphysical problems to empirical challenges
Henrik Walter
Department of Psychiatry
University of Bonn
Heather Berlin
Department of Psychiatry
Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Freedom of will continues to be a hotly debated topic. Most discussions concern the question of whether the brain is a deterministic machine and what consequences this has for the concept of personal responsibility. Above and apart from this metaphysical discussion, cognitive neuroscience has begun to investigate volition empirically. In contrast to free will, "willpower" is an emerging concept which is subject to empirical science and can be measured and quantified. Willpower, a quantitative aspect of volition, is the strength of self-regulatory functions that enables people to come to wise decisions on the basis of anticipated future outcomes and to pursue long-term goals in the face of conflict, temptations and distractions. After a brief introduction to the metaphysical problem of willpower, we will present experiments in psychology, neuropsychology and neuroimaging which demonstrate how willpower can be empirically investigated and quantified. We propose to introduce the concept of willpower as a new research topic in cognitive neuroscience.
Willpower can also be viewed as the cognitive ability to modulate or inhibit impulsive behavior. Impulsivity (i.e. weakness of will)-the failure to resist an impulse, drive, or temptation that is potentially harmful to oneself or others-is a common clinical problem and a core feature of human behavior. What makes an impulse pathological is an inability to resist it and its expression. In this tutorial we will also discuss what we know about the neurocircuitry of impulse control based on empirical research with brain lesion and psychiatric patients, and how this relates to the scientific study of willpower. This will include a discussion of such disorders of volition as intermittent explosive disorder, kleptomania, pyromania, pathological gambling, and trichotillomania (representing a failure to resist aggressive impulses, and urges to steal, set fires, gamble, and pull one's hair, respectively). Clinical research provides an important tool to expand our knowledge of the neural basis of willpower.

Tutorial M2: Manipulating perception: Misdirection, magic and consciousness
Amory Faber
Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich
Gustav Kuhn
Department of Psychology
Durham University
David Edelman
The Neurosciences Institute, San Diego
Recently, it has been suggested that magic techniques could be adopted as valuable research tools for cognitive science (Kuhn et al., 2008, Macknik et al., 2008). In particular, common magic techniques such as misdirection and illusions could be exploited to gain new insights into the inner workings of conscious perception. Our challenge is to find ways of incorporating these techniques into the scientific study of consciousness.
It has been suggested that attention and conscious perception may sometimes constitute two distinct cognitive processes (O'Regan et al., 2000; Lamme, 2003; Koch, 2006). Through the use of misdirection, magicians manipulate these constituent processes of the perceptual chain. In the field of visual attention, studies have been published in which special magic tricks were developed and deployed as stimuli (e.g. Kuhn and Tatler, 2005; Kuhn and Land, 2006). Others have used magic tricks to investigate the neural correlates of causality (Parris et al., in press). However, these methodological tools are still in their infancy.
In this tutorial, we will present experimental designs built around a variety of magic techniques and share some preliminary results that bear on the nature of consciousness. We will discuss the findings of three different research groups, each taking a distinctly novel approach.
Three main topics will be covered: (1) Misdirection of attention: How can we investigate misdirection in the lab, and what can it tell us about attention and awareness? (Kuhn); (2) A working definition of misdirection: From methodology to theory; misdirection as an interdependent signaling process (Edelman); (3) Developing a battery of magic stimuli: Problems and pitfalls (Faber). To unpack these topics, several mini-talks and practical demonstrations of magic tricks will be embedded: Mark Mitton (magician): A practical demonstration of a deception model ; Thomas Fraps (magician): The Blind Spot - Filling-in mechanisms and perceptual illusions.
The tutorial will be divided into three 50-minute sessions. Each session will cover one of the topics listed above, and include a 25-minute talk, followed by 10 minutes of discussion, a practical demonstration or mini-talk of no longer than 10 minutes, and a wrap-up Q&A of no longer than 5 minutes. After each session, 10 minutes will be allotted for a break.
Tutorial M3: Philosophical issues concerning consciousness and representation
Uriah Kriegel
Department of Philosophy
University of Arizona
The tutorial will survey current approaches to consciousness in Anglo-American analytic philosophy. It will focus on four approaches, to which I will refer as (1) mysterianism, (2) dualism, (3) representationalism, and (4) higher-order representation theory. With each approach, I will present in order (i) the leading account of consciousness along its line, (ii) the case for the approach, and (iii) the case against the approach. A discussion of the merits and demerits of each approach will follow the presentation of these three aspects. The specific accounts I will cover are McGinn's mysterianism, Chalmers' dualism, Tye's representationalism, and Rosenthal's higher-order theory. The purpose of the tutorial is not to issue a final verdict on any approach, but rather to get a clearer picture of the logical geography of the issue, that is, of the logical interconnections between the various theoretical issues.
- Mysterianism and the prospects for a science of consciousness (40 minutes)
- Dualism and the reducibility of consciousness (40 minutes)
- Break (10 minutes)
- Representational theories of consciousness (40 minutes)
- Higher order representation theories of consciousness (40 minutes)
- Conclusions (10 minutes)
Tutorial M4: Synesthesia
Noam Sagiv
Department of Psychology
Brunel University
Have we grossly underestimated how different our own perceptual experiences may be from other people's experiences? Studies of synaesthesia reveal a remarkable diversity. In this tutorial, I will provide an overview of the phenomenology, behavioural and neuroimaging studies, as well as theoretical frameworks for understanding this diversity and it implications for understanding consciousness. First, I will review a wide range of synaesthetic experiences (beyond the relatively more familiar varieties of coloured graphemes and coloured hearing), how we study those in the lab, and what is known about their neural mechanism and course of development. In the second part I will discuss the relationship between synaesthesia, phantoms and hallucinations; visuo-spatial variants of synaesthesia; and a number of related phenomena including personification, animistic thought, and mirror synaesthesia. I will consider what they tell us about of the self, the way in which we understand others, and contribution of the debates on embodied cognition. In the final part of the tutorial I will discuss how findings from synaesthesia studies constrain our ideas about consciousness. These include the problem of qualia, representation and meaning, synaesthesia and functionalism, and the neural correlates of consciousness. An open discussion will follow.
Tutorial A1:How can we experimentally induce and measure emotional feelings?
Silke Anders
Department of Neurology and Neuroimage Nord
University of Lübeck
Raffael Kalisch
Department of Systems Neuroscience
University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf
Phenomenal experience of affect is one of the most vivid aspects of consciousness. The study of neural correlates of different kinds of phenomenal experience has made great progress during recent years, but there are relatively few studies that have investigated the neural correlates of affective experience. Affective experiences differ from all other experiences in that they have a valence (they are perceived as positive or negative). At the neurophysiological level, affective experiences might be associated with neural activity in a much more distributed network than phenomenal perception of external events. In this workshop we will first discuss what makes an emotion an emotion and how emotions (and particularly phenomenal emotional experience) can be assessed. This will be followed by a brief review of neuroscientific studies that have attempted to induce and to measure emotional feelings. One focus of this review will be on the experimental paradigms used in these studies and whether they are suited to induce "real" emotional feelings. The second focus will be on the question how we can best relate phenomenal affective experiences to brain processes. Finally, we will (with the help of the participants) ask how neuroscientific research into the neural correlates of emotional feelings can contribute to our general understanding of the neural correlates of phenomenal experience.

Tutorial A2: Consciousness in a natural world: From biological function to the meanings of life
Güven Güzeldere
Department of Philosophy
Center for Cognitive Neuroscience
Duke University
Darwinist theory plus neuroscience are considered by many to present a disenchanting conception of the human person (in Max Weber's sense). We call this disenchantment neuro-existentialism. If we are just animals (smart but animals nonetheless) and if (as neuroscience assumes as a regulative ideal a la Kant) that there is a naturalistic explanation for consciousness and for our subjective experiences, then our significance as human persons, the meaning of our lives, are deflated.
The workshop will discuss the history and current status of the conflict between (W. Sellars') the manifest and the scientific images as they pertain to the scientific study of consciousness. The naturalistic framework we adopt does in fact disallow for super-natural elements (immaterial soul, irreducible mental properties) into the ontology of consciousness and personhood. But we'll argue that this does not steal away from our existential significance as persons, in a multi-layered pluralistic epistemic view of consciousness and agency we embrace. To the contrary, this is the only way to do justice to the proper understanding of ourselves as both biological organisms shaped by our evolutionary history and sentient rational subjects and autonomous agents in our social and cultural world.
I'll wrap up the workshop with a broader discussion looking at the ties the history of consciousness studies has to cultural studies, sociology and history of science, and even popular understanding of science.
Tutorial A3:Neurocognitive theories of consciousness
Sid Kouider
CNRS Paris
Anil Seth
University of Sussex
Vincent de Gardelle
CNRS Paris
The two last decades have given rise to a large number of scientific theories of consciousness. The aim of this tutorial will be to provide an overview of the most influential cognitive and neurobiological accounts of consciousness. We will first introduce the difficulty of constructing a scientific theory of consciousness, and the necessity to rely on neural "correlates" rather than "bases" of consciousness. We will then provide a brief historical overview of the precursors to a theory of consciousness, both in philosophy and in early cognitive psychology. We will in turn present several influential cognitive accounts. We will overview theories focusing on the architecture of consciousness (e.g., The Global Workspace theory of Baars, the Multiple Draft theory by Dennett, the Intermediate Level Theory by Jackendoff and extended by Prinz, the Information Integration Theory by Tononi), those focusing on consciousness as a by-product of learning mechanisms (The Sensory Motor theory by O'Regan and Noë, the Radical Plasticity Thesis by Cleeremans, the Higher-Order theory by Rosenthal). We will then turn to the most influential neurobiological theories, depicting them from the most globalists to the most localists accounts of the link between brain structures and conscious contents (The Re-entrant Dynamic Core theory of Edelman & Tononi, the Global Neuronal Workspace theory of Dehaene, the Coalition model of Crick and Koch, the Duplex Vision theory of Milner & Goodale, the Local Recurrence theory of Lamme, the Micro-Consciousness theory of Zeki, etc). We will contrast these theories according to their functionality and explanatory power. We will also discuss how these theories deal with important issues, such as the existence of a hard problem, the distinction between access and phenomenal consciousness, the link between attention and consciousness, the dissociation between primary and self-consciousness, and the problem of measuring consciousness.
Tutorial A4: Markers of awareness? EEG potentials evoked by faint and masked events, with special reference to the "attentional blink"
Rolf Verleger
Department of Neurology
University of Lübeck
Averaged event-related EEG potentials (ERPs) indicate cortical activity with extremely good temporal resolution and therefore continue being the most illustrative means of looking at the brain's activities in perceiving single events. Searching for brain-physiological correlates of the subjective state of being aware of perceptual input has always been a major goal of ERP research. To this end, ERPs have been measured in response to stimuli that were hard to perceive. This research started with ERP correlates of the detection of auditory signals and later focused on tasks where visual stimuli were briefly displayed that either were masked by following stimuli or were presented in rapid series to produce the "attentional blink". Relevant ERP components proposed in this context as perceptual correlates of awareness have included early components related to perception (e.g., visual P1), middle-latency negative peaks (posterior N2, N2pc), and the P3 complex. Of interest are also the ERP signs of motor activation (Lateralized Readiness Potential) and semantic processing (N400) which may be evoked by stimuli even if remaining unidentified. The tutorial will suggest as a conclusion that there is no "awareness component" but that components may only be correlates of awareness, with P3 being the closest correlate. In contrast, variations of early components like P1 are evidently decoupled from variations in awareness, and N2-type components are more related to attention than to awareness. The reason why P3 is the best indicator of awareness is its close association to processes of classification and decision.

Most probably you want to learn how to use cgi. The best to do is use the standard CGI library, see its documentation. In case you'd want to embed perl code into html (like php does), instead of Embperl I recommend you to try PLP which is much better.

Participation in extremist organizations and activities by Army employees (both appropriated and non-appropriated fund personnel) is inconsistent with Army values and the responsibilities of employment in the federal government.
Extremist organizations and activities are ones that: a) advocate racial, gender, or ethnic hatred or intolerance; b) advocate, create or engage in illegal discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion, or national origin; or c) advocate the use of or use force or violence or unlawful means to deprive individuals of their rights under the United States Constitution or the laws of the United States, or any State, by unlawful means.
Involvement with or in an extremist organization or activity, such as membership or presence at an event, could threaten an employee's ability to successfully perform his or her assigned duties with the Army organization. Moreover, when connected with government employment, participation in extremist organizations and activities by Army employees is inconsistent with government service.
Respect is one of our cornerstone values shared by all of the Army. Respect relates to appreciation and support of the rich diversity among the work force and recognition of the dignity of all individuals. Actions or expressions espousing extremist philosophies or causes, including statements or non-verbal expressions, clothing or tattoos that suggest or convey extremist views, are prohibited in the workplace. Such actions diminish work unit cohesion, create an atmosphere of intimidation and hostility, and interfere with productivity, morale, and esprit de corps. The following activities on behalf of extremist groups are prohibited while on Government property and/or during official duty time; (1) Sponsoring or publicizing an extremist demonstration or rally; (2) Knowingly attending a meeting or activity while on duty or otherwise appearing to represent the Army or the Government; (3) Conducting fund-raising activities; (4) Recruiting or training members of an extremist group; (5) Organizing or leading such a group; or (6) Distributing or posting literature.
Supervisors should remain alert for signs that they have an employee who may be participating in an extremist group. When there is credible evidence of employee involvement with or in an extremist organization or activity, to include receipt of literature or presence at an extremist event, supervisors should consider taking appropriate actions to educate the employee regarding Army policy and the incompatibility of participation with or in extremist organizations or activities with Government service. Such actions may include: (1) Remind employees of their responsibility to abide by DA programs that emphasize fair and equitable treatment, such as EEO; (2) Consider assessing the employee's access to classified information, where appropriate; and/or (3) Consider appropriate disciplinary or adverse action if there is a nexus between the employee's conduct and official duties. If formal or informal disciplinary action is considered necessary, it must be appropriate to the specific facts surrounding any incident. Supervisors should not take formal disciplinary actions without coordinating with the servicing Civilian Personnel Advisory Center (CPAC), who will provide advice, assistance, and legal coordination.
Supervisors should intervene early, primarily through counseling, when observing such signs, even though the signs may not rise to active advocacy or participation, or may not threaten good order and discipline, but only suggest such potential. The goal of early intervention is to minimize the risk of future prohibited activities.
One of the effects of extremist activity is tension leading to violence in the workplace. Guidance for dealing with violence in the workplace may be found in the OPM Pamphlet "Dealing with Workplace Violence," available at http://archive.opm.gov/Employment_and_Benefits/WorkLife/OfficialDocuments/handbooksguides/WorkplaceViolence/full.pdf

Foxconn produces a majority of Apple's iPhone 5 devices but has recently been hit with manufacturing delays. According to the company the issue isn't with their workers or equipment but rather the "complex nature" of the devices including its new coating which appears to be prone to scratching.
An unnamed official for the company recently revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the iPhone 5 is "the most difficult device that Foxconn has ever assembled."
That same official notes:
"To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated. It takes time to learn how to make this new device. Practice makes perfect. Our productivity has been improving day by day."
To avoid issues in the manufacturing process the speed at which the iPhone 5 is being developed has slowed.
The Foxconn source says it has been hard to "satisfy both aesthetic needs and practical needs." Although they admit that Foxconn has been working to increase quality control at Apple's request.
Not all delays are believed to be caused by manufacturing issues, Foxconn employees have been regularly striking and in some cases have become engaged in violent clashes over extremely poor working conditions.
Most recently Foxconn was found to be employing underage workers who were sent to its factories by schools. Students under the age of 16 have since been sent back to their educational facilities at the urging of governmental officials.
Tear downs of the iPhone 5 have shown a complex device that fits a lot of hardware into a very small space.

We were living in Sault, Ontario in the early sixties when the first Kentucky Fried CHICKEN Franchise came to town. Before that it was mainly Dairyqueen and A&W .
Over the years as our family grew it was the most economically viable way of feeding a family of nine as back then a barrel of chicken (20)pieces of chicken, two large fries and a large colesaw would come to just under twenty dollars. ($19.99 to be exact) In fact, I think that a large gravy was included as well. Over the course of a few years we ended up moving to Alberta where I began a small moving company and when the economy took a dive in the early eighties because of the national energy policy.
A lot of people who had moved out west were desirous to return to Ontario . As well, our family had been travelling back to Ontario for a vacation at least once a year
and we would always stop at a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise for our meals. It became such a regular routine at our stops along the way that one of our daughters, Stelena, when she would notice the Picture of the Colonel and the barrel on the store front would point and say,"kicken,kicken" and put her right hand in the air as if she was grabbing something. We would all laugh and then naturally pull into that particular store and have our meal. At one time I was sharing with the children that
apparently Colonel Sanders had become a born again christian believer. At the which, one of them piped up and said,"Does that mean we'll have chicken in heaven dad?" We all had a good laugh over that one too. During one move back to Ontario, I was travelling with 10 other fellows and we were moving someone to Winnipeg, Manitoba and then down to the Ontario region. I had purchased an older moving truck and three of us were riding in it and I had a crewcab truck that another seven were riding in. I hadn't even driven the truck around the block when I first looked at it (1963 cab over 17 foot moving truck). I chatted with the mechanic in the back of the large facility where it was located and when he asked if I would like to try it out, I said no, I will take your word for it. So when we had loaded all of the furniture that we were to be delivering and headed out towards Ontario, one of my sons who was driving the crewcab pulled up along side of me and said, "Dad, can I drive ahead of you?" I said,"at least wait until I've driven at least fifty miles, because if this will go fifty miles without a problem, I'm sure that it will go five thousand", he said,"ok dad" and at exactly the fifty mile mark east of Calgary, my son pulled up again and said, "Dad, it's fifty miles" I said, "ok, go ahead but don't go to far ahead just in case anything happens" he said, "ok dad and away he went. The spare tire for the furniture truck was in the back of the crew cab.About forty minutes later while driving and communing with the Lord and thanking Him for how well this truck was running. All of a sudden "wham", the right front tire blew and I was just on a descent on a hill, a very steep hill I might add. One of the fellows travelling with me had been sleeping and he bolted upright with a look of terror on his face. I went to apply the brakes but found out
that I had none. The blown tire had caused the brake line to malfunction so I was at the mercy of the Lord. Praise God that there wasn't any traffic coming because the truck took on a life of its own. It was moving back and forth from one lane to the other. It was on a two lane highway, fortunately by the Providence of God there was no other traffic at that early morning hour. I was in an immediate attitude of prayer, praying, "Dear God please protect these people's furniture and our lives as well. Bump, bump, bump it would go and then bump, bump, bump it would go again. I was holding on to the steering wheel but I was not steering. Finally on the final bump, bump, bump, the truck pulled off on the right hand side of the road right near a guard rail. Now my son, had gone ahead of us with the spare tire and I didn't have a flash
light on me. I got out to surmise the damage and all of a sudden I heard someone say "hello". I answered "hello" back and he said "do you have a problem?" I said "yes I do, my right front tire is blown and my brakes are gone, but I have a bigger problem than that right now". He said "what's that". I said, "my son has gone on ahead and I don't know when he will realize that I am not coming behind. "Where are you heading I asked him" He replied,"I'm heading to Nova Scotia. I have been laid off as a transport driver and I'm going back home. I said, " I'm not going that far, I'm only heading to Ontario, Toronto area. "Could I get a ride with you that far" he said, I said "sure , if you don't mind small quarters" Basically that furniture truck could only hold three comfortably and we were already at that quota. My son Steve laid
down on the rest area behind us. After about an hour my son appeared with the crew cab and we changed the tire and then had to head back towards Calgary to purchase some brake fluid. My son put a screw in the brake line and we limped into Brooks , Alberta at about seven o'clock in the morning. I pulled in behind a General Motors
dealership and waited for it to open. I went to the parts department and told them about my dilema and when asking me what year that the truck was, I was told that it was too old of a vehicle for them to be able to help me out but they gave me a location of a store that would probably be able to help me. I used the crew cab to go over there and explained the scenario to that fella.When I inquired as to what the cost of repair would be, he said that it would be seventy five dollars. That was the exact amount I had and had been expecting to use it for our meals until we got to Winnipeg where we would then be reimbursed for the move. I asked when he would be able to have it fixed and he said come back in a couple of hours. I left and headed back to the General Motors dealership. All of the other fellows had stayed behind and it was really hot out. They were just sitting on the grass behind the dealership. Myself and the hitchhiker (laid off transport truck driver) were just sitting and chatting when he asked me if I had a hydraulic jack. I told him that I did. He said, while we are waiting for the part to be fixed we might as well jack the truck up
and put the best tires on the outside in case we have a flat on the back, this way the best tires would be able to hold the weight. I said, good idea and proceeded to look for a small piece of two by four to put under the jack. Just as I began to look along the chainlink fence behind the dealership my son came over and said "Dad, do you have any money for chicken?" "No son, I said, I don't." He said, "I thought that you had seventy five dollars". I said " I did, but that is what it is going to cost to get truck fixed." He said,"we are all hungry dad," I said, " I know son, I'm hungry too but the Lord knows". Somehow that didn't seem to be much consolation to him. He turned and walked away. As I proceeded down the fence line I looked and there amongst some crumpled leaves lay a twenty dollar bill. I reached down, picked it up and yelled, "Hallelujah, chicken money". I went back to where my son was sitting with the other fellows and said, Stafford here's twenty dollars, go and get us a barrel of chicken, large fries and gravy and a large coleslaw." He said "dad, I thought that you were broke," I said, "I am son but the Lord had a twenty dollar bill sitting here in some crumpled up leaves for us." He said " hey guys, my dad found a twenty dollar bill here along the chainlink fence." You couldn't have found ten more swift footed men as they began searching themselves. Needless to say they didn't find any. When my son returned with the chicken, I noticed that someone had thrown out a pile of carpeting in the laneway. I said, "boys lets get this carpet and sit on it while we're eating and let me pray and give thanks to God for blessing us with this meal.
They all heartedly agreed, we prayed and ate, Hallelujah, what a Saviour, "hallelujah, chicken money!"
Five years later, as a further blessing with this above story. My wife and I and a few of the kids were travelling back to Calgary, Alberta from Ontario and it was on a Sunday morning. Often when we found ourselves travelling we would look for a church to attend as was our regular custom. We came across a Baptist church and it was just before the time of the service to begin. It was a Thanksgiving Sunday service. After we had taken our seats and the pastor was about to begin his message, he said,"I have never ever done this before but seeing it is Thanksgiving Sunday, I wonder if anyone would have a testimony to something that they can be thankful to the Lord for.
I waited a while and looked around to see if there was any response, when there wasn't, I raised my hand and said, " I would like to share a "Hallelujah, chicken money story, how the Lord blessed me and ten other fellows five years ago in this community of Brooks, Alberta. After his message a couple of people came up and thanked me for that testimony and said that it had blessed their hearts. I said, "Praise the LORD".
Remember friends, never be too "chicken" to share a testimony as to what God has done for you! It gives God glory, and will be a blessing to others as well. Have a great day!

Does anyone have a testimony
Can I get an Amen!
Don't be shy to testify
About the sinner's friend
Witness to His workings
What He's done for you
Some needy heart is waiting
To hear your story too
Our God takes great pleasure
When Him we glorify
Stand up and give Him praises
Testify, testify!

I had an absolute NIGHTMARE with a Cisco Enterprise Wireless Enterprise
It was in a highly reflective environment, and the controller was trying
to out-think the reflections. No one could stay connected for more than
a minute or two, and all the reconnection and netbios broadcast storms
were killing that entire network segment. After a full week with the
Cisco TAC, the vendor engineer and the parent company engineer on the
phone (Can't trust the poor contractor to know what he is doing...) and
no fix, we replaced it all with 3 EnGenius APs and everything was rock
solid in 3 hours.
And we had a $20k credit with the vendor.
Sometimes you do NOT get what you pay for. :)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/9/2014 (1054 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon police said that they'd enjoyed a relatively quiet 24 hours from Wednesday morning through Thursday morning.
In that time, they made just four arrests — that was two who were wanted on the strength of previous warrants and two more who were taken to the drunk tank.
Wednesday afternoon, police went to a home in the 400-block of Seventh Street, looking for a 25-year-old man who was wanted for assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats and for possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. That same man was also wanted by Winnipeg police for failing to attend court.
He was found and arrested without incident. Police say he was held overnight at the Brandon jail, and was to appear in court on Thursday.
Then, a 21-year-old man was arrested at his Brandon home on behalf of the Dauphin RCMP. They wanted him for four counts of failing to comply with his probation. He, too, was arrested and held overnight in jail, to appear in Brandon court on Thursday.
Local officers also picked up two people who were drunk in public.
The first was an 18-year-old woman who was spotted wandering in and out of traffic in the 1000-block of Middleton Avenue during the noon hour on Wednesday. She was found highly intoxicated, police say, and no one could be found to care for her. She was held in jail to sober up.
Then, about 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening, police found a 54-year-old man who was passed out in the zero-hundred block of Ninth Street. He was also highly intoxicated, and with nowhere to go, police gave him a place to stay at the Brandon Correctional Centre.

Inspecting your engine cylinder head on a regular basis protects you from engine failure and costly repairs. It's important to know the symptoms of a failing cylinder head, so you can replace it with a durable component.
Excessive amounts of white smoke emanating from your tailpipe is a tell-tale sign of a defective cylinder head and can result from leaking valve stem seals. Fizzy antifreeze in the radiator is another sign of a malfunctioning cylinder head. Built-up pressure in the cooling system—which permits your coolant to blow out and your engine to overheat—is a clear indicator of a faulty cylinder head. It's also time to swap out your cylinder head if you notice that the coolant in your crankcase is causing your oil to turn milky. Prevent your engine from dying with an upgraded cylinder head from AutoZone.
AutoZone provides top-quality replacement engine cylinder heads for a variety of vehicles, including an engine cylinder head for Ford Taurus or Malibu cylinder heads, so you're sure to find the perfect cylinder head for your specific make and model.

Cambodia HIV/Aids patients come out of isolation
In Cambodia, until recently, people living with the Aids virus were treated as social outcasts.
Most people refused to share food with them and in many cases avoided contact all together.
For people like Lay Sarin, once a relatively prosperous rice farmer who contracted the virus from her husband, her life became one of almost total isolation as fearful villagers excluded her from almost every facet of normal life.
Now, thanks to the Buddhist Leadership Initiative - a joint Unicef and Cambodian Government training scheme that places traditional Buddhist pagodas and the country's more than 50,000 monks at the centre of a redemptive healing process - life is slowly returning to normal.

Something major happened in my life this week, and we should probably talk about it. Something so big and jarring that my life will never be the same, and the course of human (and non-human) events is likely altered forever. I promise this time (just this once) I am totally not exaggerating at all.
Anyway, I cancelled cable.
I cancelled cable and I could not be more excited about it. I did it mostly because I was tired of paying their exorbitant fees, but it's also directly affected my baseball viewership. Out are ESPN and MLB Network, in is my MLB.tv subscription routed through my new Roku box. So far, so good (and yes, I realize these things were not mutually exclusive before, since I already had an MLB.tv account, but whatever, okay? I'm happy with the heavier wallet).
All of this lead me to wonder how my Waiver Wire family ingest their baseball. So let us know in the comments below, or via Twitter (@jackweiland, @Karl_de_Vries). Cable? MLB.tv? Both? Rabbit ears? Anyone tossing MiLB.tv on there as well? Anyone out there give up on their fantasy teams and subsequently their baseball viewing?
Before we jump into the meat of today's column, let's take a quick look at some of our recent subjects.
Will Venable has continued his hot hitting, with two more home runs since I wrote about him here, and I'm still cautiously optimistic that this is a legitimate breakthrough.
I think I read somewhere that Alex Rodriguez had an eventful trip to Boston? Did I get that right? At this point he's essentially trolling the baseball world, but as a fantasy asset he's still underowned right now (just 61 percent at CBS). Bad karma be darned, he's a wonderful free addition for leagues where he's still toiling on the wire.
Ryan Ludwick hasn't set the world on fire since rejoining the Reds, but he's picked up the pace in his last few games, and I still like him as outfield help down the stretch.
Danny Farquhar is still excelling in ninth-inning duties for the Mariners. He's worth speculating on for saves down the stretch, and he'll probably make a good target for drafts next spring.
Today let's look at a scorching-hot Cub and an American League outfielder whose playing time might press him into usefulness.
Donnie Murphy | Chicago Cubs | 3B | ESPN: 11.5 percent ownership; Yahoo!: 17 percent; CBS: 11 percent
YTD: .340/.397/.811 in 58 plate appearances
ZiPS projection: .304/.363/.684 in 95 plate appearances
We need to talk about Donnie Murphy.
I've made it no secret here that I watch many Cubs games. (Why? Now that's one for the therapist.) So I've been patiently waiting for Donnie Murphy to come back down to Earth to save me the trouble of addressing his production here. That has not happened, and twice in the past week I've endured Cubs announcers mentioning Murphy's incredible home run production during his short time with the club. In some ways, the talk is fair. His seven home runs in just 58 plate appearances is a pace that equates to 72 bombs over 600 PAs. That's pretty incredible. If he kept posting a .472 ISO all season, it would rank as the third best single season ISO since 1900 (behind just Barry Bonds' 2001 and Babe Ruth's 1920).
Also, if we're being honest, what else are Cubs' announcers supposed to talk about these days? This is the part of the season where nothing happens and nobody cares. If that sounds bitter, it's because I'm bitter.
Anyway, the thing is, Donnie Murphy is not very good. The Cubs are Murphy's fourth team in eight partial major league seasons, and over the 698 plate appearances that make up his big league resume, his triple slash is a rather pedestrian 216/.281/.410. He has 25 career home runs, of which more than a quarter are from this run alone. He's doing so based on a HR/FB rate of 35 percent, and three of his seven dingers were either "Just Enough" or "Lucky" according to Hit Tracker Online.
On top of that, Cubs' corner man Luis Valbuena is beginning his rehab soon, and his return would likely steal playing time away from Murphy.
Recommendation: Officially, for the record, look elsewhere. No matter how crazy his success is in the short term, there's very little reason to believe Murphy can continue anything close to this pace.
Emilio Bonifacio | Kansas City Royals | 3B/OF | ESPN: 27.3 percent ownership; Yahoo!: 16 percent; CBS: 24 percent
YTD: .219/.264/.325 in 306 plate appearances
ZiPS projection: .224/.272/.324 in 403 plate appearances
It's worth mentioning up front that there is nothing new about Emilio Bonifacio. His appearance here is not because I've noticed a change in his statistical profile, or read a story about a change in his mechanics that is worth monitoring.
No, he's here mostly because he's been playing a lot, all over the diamond, and can provide short-term help to owners in need of steals.
Bonifacio came to Kansas City from Toronto at the trade deadline for a player to be named later and cash. Since then, he's played on a regular basis in the outfield, and at third base in place of the ailing Mike Moustakas. With just Chris Getz and Jamey Carroll standing in his way at second base, as well, it stands to reason that Bonifacio could grab odd starts there as well.
And while he's not hitting well (even worse than his career triple slash of .260/.319/.340), this is a player who has 40-steal potential if inserted into the lineup enough. He hits for very little power, poor average, and doesn't walk a ton. But when he gets on, he can run, and his real-life defensive versatility makes him worth using in the right situation, for an owner with the right need. Nothing more, nothing less.
Recommendation: Worth grabbing for the steals alone. Don't expect anything else.

Kenya is a country of geopolitical and economic importance in East Africa. It shares borders with unstable states such as Somalia and Sudan while being a hub for trade, communication, finance, and transportation across the region. Although relatively stable since its independence in 1963, the country still faces poverty, inequality, and corruption. In addition, the contested election of 2007 led to severe ethnic strife that tested its political stability, leading to a new constitution in 2010. This unique survey by a leading expert on the region provides a critical analysis of the socio-economic development in Kenya from a political economy perspective. It highlights Kenya's transition from being a centralized state to having a clear separation of powers and analyzes key issues such as economic growth, urbanization, corruption, and reform. The book identifies Kenya's key socio-development problems and offers solutions to improve both governance and economic performance, making it an essential resource to researchers, academics, and policy makers working on development issues and African politics.
""The Political Economy of Development in Kenya is written by a seasoned scholar of African studies and is intended to make a significant and timely contribution to the debate on state reconstruction, peaceful coexistence, and sustainable development in Kenya, in particular, and Africa in general. The book contains a very refreshing, rigorous, informative, multidisciplinary and policy-relevant analysis of transition in Kenya and provides practical and effective policy options for policymakers in Kenya and Africa. It breaks new ground in that it emphasizes the importance of effective governance institutions to the fight against corruption and other growth-inhibiting behaviors and provides well-reasoned policy options for promoting economic growth and development. It differs significantly from previous efforts, which have failed to provide a balanced treatment of the informal sector-the volume places the informal sector in its right context and provides policymakers with options on how to strengthen this critical sector and bring it into the core of the country's human development agenda. Although the volume is analytically very strong and extremely rigorous, it is, nevertheless, very accessible to a wide audience. Each chapter contains not only clear and well-documented analyses of various issues that deal with Kenya's transition to democratic governance and sustainable development, but also well-articulated policy recommendations. Hence, the volume is useful, not only for policymakers in Kenya and Africa, but also for the student of African political economy. Students at colleges and universities globally who are seeking a text that provides a balanced and informative analysis of Africa's struggle to achieve peaceful coexistence and sustainable development should find that this volume meets and exceeds their expectations." -John Mukum Mbaku, J.D., Ph.D., Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, USA. " –
""Hope's timely book provides an original, comprehensive, engaging and thorough analysis of policy framework for sustaining development in Kenya and within the context of the opportunities and environment provided by the 2010 constitution. This succinct and comprehensive treatment of the political economy of development of Kenya should provide an indispensable reading for scholars, development professionals and all those interested in the political economy of development of Africa in general and Kenya in particular." - Bornwell.C.Chikulo, PhD, Professor of Development Studies, North West University, South Africa" –
"This book is about the socio-economic development of Kenya from a political economy perspective. It is divided into eight separate but interlinked chapters that provide a detailed account of the political and socio-economic challenges Kenya faces; which include the country's historical context, the role of urbanization and the informal sector in the economic growth process of the country, poverty and inequality, and corruption among other challenges. The book also critically examines Kenya's political transition and the enactment of the new constitution, which provides a framework for devolution of power from the centre to forty-seven county-level administrations. It also highlights the causes and effects of the post-2007 election disputes that sparked violent conflicts among rival political and ethnic groups and plunged the country into political chaos, which tarnished Kenya's hard-earned reputation as a stable and prosperous democracy, a veritable world class tourist destination. This book not only highlights Kenya's current socio-economic and political problems, but it also provides policy prescriptions to address poor governance, poverty, inequality and sluggish economic growth. The book is of immense value to scholars and policymakers, students and representatives of international organizations that are interested in the political economy of Kenya." -Dr. Asfaw Kumssa, Coordinator, United Nations Centre for Regional Development Africa Office, Kenya" –

Though the idea of tech prep (technical preparation) was launched well over a decade ago, few communities adopted it. Some people didn't understand or appreciate it. Others did, but elected to continue existing practices. It was not until passage of the Tech Prep Education Act that attention was drawn to tech prep on a national scale. Beginning in 1992, federal grants for tech prep planning and implementation flowed to the states and local consortia to encourage the establishment of core secondary and postsecondary, academic and vocational curricula. Once distributed to the states, federal funds were available to implement changes. These grants signaled the importance of restructuring academic and vocational, secondary and postsecondary curriculum around something called tech prep.
Assuming that most tech prep consortia needed one or two years for implementation of their reforms, it is only now that the opportunity exists for a comprehensive evaluation of tech prep. This article describes the first NCRVE-funded research project devoted to an evaluation of tech prep. An overview of the study is followed by a list that highlights lessons learned by experienced partnerships about the best way to implement these reforms.
Like many new reforms, tech prep has had difficulty becoming established in local school systems, particularly within comprehensive high schools. Hard questions continue to be raised about how tech prep should relate to other school reforms and restructuring endeavors. Is tech prep predominantly about readying the middle majority for two-year college, or does it have something to offer all students including the four-year college bound and academically disadvantaged? Is tech prep intended to raise the academic standards of capable but disengaged students, or simply to ensure they finish? How does tech prep differ from existing vocational education programs--or does it? Without clear answers to these questions, the goals of tech prep are ambiguous. In turn, colleges, businesses, and other stakeholder groups don't know what to expect, nor how to respond. Community colleges in particular contend with competing demands, especially requests from local business and industry for short-term training of incumbent workers. Often these demands overshadow tech prep, impeding implementation efforts.
Despite the unresolved issues and conflicting demands, tech prep programs have proliferated, and have been linked to a number of promising trends. By the fall of 1995, tech prep was offered in well over half of the comprehensive high schools and the vast majority of community colleges in the United States. As tech prep implementation progressed, a wider net was cast for local partners. Now, as compared to the early 1990s when tech prep first began, more high schools, two-year colleges, businesses, and community-based organizations are engaged. Although federal funds continue to be the mainstay of local tech prep programs, a more diversified approach to funding tech prep is evident, including the use of more state and local funds. Increasing numbers of business/education partnerships and the growing use of work-based learning are also important signs of how tech prep is evolving. Support for tech prep is strong among the stakeholders who seem most integral to its long-term sustainability: state agency personnel, local secondary and two-year college administrators, business/industry representatives, vocational faculty, and students. Finally, local leaders identify tech prep as a foundation for newer school-to-work partnerships, and there are positive signs of collaboration between tech prep and school-to-work; hence, the appearance and use of such terms as tech prep/school-to-work systems.
Thus far, national research and evaluation has resulted in primarily program-level findings that focus on the reform process. Far less is known about the students who participate in tech prep/school-to-work, and almost no information exists regarding student outcomes or benefits attributable to tech prep/school-to-work participation.
Our 1998 research project focuses on enriching and deepening our understanding of student outcomes associated with local partnerships. Three goals guide the research:
Building on case study research that began in 1996 or earlier, the project continues in-depth study of six sites in Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Oregon, New York and Texas. The sites are "mature," and are committed to tech prep/school-to-work as a primary means of educational reform and restructuring. Each site has taken a somewhat different approach to tech prep implementation, emphasizing key components (academic and vocational integration, articulation, career guidance) to varying degrees. The different approaches of the six sites are highly indicative of the variation that exists throughout the country in tech prep/school-to-work implementation. All sites have considerable experience with program evaluation and outcome assessment.
Though each site has its own issues and concerns, each has made a long-term commitment to tech prep/school-to-work that guides its everyday decisions about policy and practice. Our previous research at these sites revealed important lessons about tech prep/school-to-work implementation. These lessons reveal the wisdom of experience over a number of years and in a variety of contexts. They will benefit other educators working on ambitious reforms at their schools.
In 1998, a cohort of tech prep/school-to-work students will be randomly selected from the six sites. A comparison group of non-participants will also be selected. Approximately 3,000 students will be sampled. Using a follow-up survey as well as student records and transcripts, we will determine the students' educational and economic experiences and outcomes. In-depth interviews will be conducted with three to five students at each site, to provide further insight into how students personally experience and benefit from tech prep/school-to-work.
By the end of 1998, preliminary findings will be reported on a site-by-site basis, providing evidence of how each unique tech prep/school-to-work system influences student educational and employment experiences and outcomes. The investigators hope to provide new insights into the complex relationships between secondary and postsecondary education and work in tech prep/school-to-work partnerships.
By December 1998 we'll offer a technical report oriented towards practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. It will provide insights into how the different models of tech prep/school-to-work operate, how student achievement can be assessed, and how students experience and benefit from such programs. The report will present highlights of successful relationships between high schools, community colleges and universities, between education and business, between academic and vocational education, and between school-based and work-based learning.
The East Central Illinois Education-to-Careers Partnership is headquartered at the Danville Area Community College (DACC) in Danville, IL. The consortium is located in a rural region of East Central Illinois serving twelve high schools, a regional vocational center, and the community college. The tech prep initiative is directed at grades 9-14. Over 70 business and labor partners are involved, several of whom sponsor youth apprenticeships for tech prep students in the areas of manufacturing, accounting, banking, health occupations, and food service. The consortium sponsors a tech prep student leadership organization that prepares students to be ambassadors for tech prep, encouraging student leaders to market tech prep to younger students. Mentoring is another key feature of this tech prep/school-to-work partnership.
The Miami Valley Tech Prep Consortium is headquartered at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, OH. This consortium is located in an urban area, but the large geographic region served is suburban and rural as well. Besides the community college, eight vocational education planning districts (involving 64 comprehensive high schools) are part of the consortium. Over 100 businesses (manufacturers, automotive dealers, hospitals) are engaged as well. The consortium awards scholarships to most students who matriculate from the secondary to postsecondary level in a 2+2 curriculum sequence (grades 11-14). The University of Dayton participates in the consortium, offering students the opportunity to complete the final two years of college with a baccalaureate degree.
The Golden Crescent Tech Prep/School-To-Career Partnership is headquartered at Victoria College in Victoria, TX. Like many of the partnerships in Texas, the region served by the Golden Crescent Partnership is expansive and primarily rural. It involves nearly twenty high schools or independent school districts (ISDs) directly, and another twenty high schools or ISDs outside of its region. Since passage of the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, this consortium has developed a governance structure and supporting policies to fully combine tech prep and school-to-work activities. Tech prep pathways are offered in such areas as electronics/instrumentation advanced technology, associate degree nursing, and microcomputer technology.
The Hillsborough Tech Prep Consortium is located in the large and growing metropolitan area centered around Tampa, Florida. Students in Hillsborough County matriculate to the community college from eighteen comprehensive high schools, one magnet comprehensive technical high school, and three adult vocational centers. Several courses of study are offered at the secondary level, including the tech prep course of study where students take appropriate community college preparatory courses, plus applied technical courses, and the college/tech prep course of study, where students meet both college prep and tech prep requirements. Utilizing the expertise of both the Hillsborough School District and the Hillsborough Community College, the consortium has developed an extensive evaluation system, documenting student academic performance in core subjects such as mathematics, English/communications, and science at the secondary and postsecondary levels.
The Mt. Hood Regional Education Consortium is headquartered at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, OR, outside Portland. This consortium serves eight high schools in seven school districts, as well as Mt. Hood Community College. The consortium started such curricula a decade ago; its long history with tech prep contributed to its selection as a national demonstration site for tech prep for the U.S. Department of Education in the early 1990s. To date, Mt. Hood Community College has articulated thirteen professional-technical areas with its "feeder" high schools. It serves over 30,000 students each year, one-third of whom are graduating high school seniors from inside the district. A major secondary school partner, Reynolds High School, consistently matriculates 35% of its graduates to Mt. Hood Community College, and has a particularly strong tech prep/school-to-career initiative in the career pathways of business management systems, industrial and engineering, and natural resource systems. Reynolds High School has moved aggressively to changing the learning environment by re-organizing around four houses or families, named after the mountains that surround the community-Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Jefferson.
The New York City Technical College Tech Prep Consortium is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Six secondary schools are partners with the New York City Technical College (NYCTC) of the City University of New York. Each of these secondary schools offers a distinctly different curriculum: one is an elite entrance-by-examination school, another is a traditional vocational-technical school, a third is a health professions magnet school, a fourth is a small "New Visions" high school, and the two remaining are comprehensive high schools, one of which serves a large limited English proficient (LEP) student population. NYCTC has three career divisions that lead to associate and/or baccalaureate degrees in engineering technology, business and communications technology, and health and human services. Among its accomplishments, this consortium has developed an integrated English course titled "Great Thinkers" to help students improve their writing skills and prepare for the college placement tests.
