(NOTE: I'm running BT5 with an NVIDIA GeForce GT130M)
I've run into the apparently common problem of trying to install NVIDIA drivers and getting the problem:
Based on proposed solutions by other people, this is what I've been trying:Error: unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernal source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured
Code:uname -r 2.6.38
Code:apt-cache search linux-source linux-source-2.6.38 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.38 linux-source-2.6.38-rc8 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.38-rc8 linux-source - BackTrack Linux Kernel Source Virtual Package source-linux-source - BackTrack Linux Kernel Source Virtual Package so there I see the linux source file I was supposedly supposedly missing, linux-source-2.6.38
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.38
this appeared to install fine. (typing the command again into the terminal shows this: linux-source-2.6.38 is already the newest version.")
so it seems the kernel is installed properly...Code:reboot
same problem. "Error: unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel."Code:sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-280.13.run
I also tried
based on someone's suggestion, no luck. "linux-headers-2.6.38 is already the newest version."Code:apt-get install linux-headers -'uname -r'
I've been trying to fix this problem for almost a month to no avail, it's so frustrating. Maybe I need to specify the path that the linux source is stored in? Maybe I should install linux-source-2.6.38-rc8 instead of linux-source-2.6.38?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Too Good to 'B' True: Did Beyonce Lip-Sync the National Anthem?
So, some are giving her a break, noting that it is "standard practice" to lip-sync at the inauguration and sure, there's a lot of pressure singing "The Star Spangled Banner," but damn, if it doesn't reek of Milli Vanilli in here. Via The Times UK:
"We did pre-record it and it was Beyoncé's decision at the last minute to go with the pre-recorded version," said a spokeswoman for the band.
"We pre-recorded all music as a matter of course and have done since time immemorial," she said. "This is our 54th inauguration… There is no question of there not being any music – it's not because the performer cannot do it."
Eh, we know we're just giving her a hard time, but that's not saying we wouldn't still like to hear it live.

World No.1 Novak Djokovic predicts Australian Bernard Tomic will become a force on the men's tour in the not-too-distant future, but says the rising star needs to become an anywhere, anytime player first.
Djokovic felt the full brunt of Tomic's talents in a shock 6-4 6-4 loss to the 20-year-old at the Hopman Cup on Wednesday night.
Vote: How far will Bernard get in this year's Australian Open?
Tomic was at his sizzling best during the 84-minute romp, unleashing 25 winners to 12 to notch his second career win over Djokovic, with his first triumph coming during a light-hearted exhibition match in 2010.
A gruelling fitness campaign at the end of last season has left Tomic in the best shape of his life.
But a more mature mindset has also benefited Tomic, who was dogged by on and off-court controversies in 2012.
Djokovic predicted a bright future for Tomic, but said the Queenslander's next challenge was to produce the goods on a more consistent basis.
"He's very talented and tactically plays very well for somebody his age," Djokovic said.
"But obviously for him it's important to be consistently successful throughout the whole year.
"I mean he has been playing really well in Australia the last few years but he wasn't managing to maintain that level.
"I guess it's up to him to see how he can adjust to many different surfaces. But he definitely has the game.
"He has a great touch and he can play equally well in defence and offence, so he has this great transition.
"I see he physically got stronger.
"He moves well for his size and has a good serve. So it's just about the experience."
Tomic, who was beaten by Djokovic during the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in 2011, said the pain he went through during his gruelling off-season fitness campaign was well worth it.
"I was doing a lot of stuff. A lot more hours than I've ever been doing," Tomic said.
"Looking back on it, it was hard. But hard work does pay off.
"I've also been working on my head a lot and trying to focus in between points.
"The past year, on the court, was very difficult for me.
"I lack concentration. I play really well for a few sets and then lose it.
"So I'm happy I'm not losing my focus.
"And I've also improved a lot in my movement and my serve especially."
Australia suffered a 2-1 loss to Serbia on Wednesday, and will need to beat Italy's pairing of Andreas Seppi and Francesca Schiavone on Thursday night to have any chance of reaching Saturday's final.

Following a recent slide in resource stocks and despite weakness in
The outlook for the company was boosted by last week's surprisingly good production figures, which prompted Citigroup to lift its fiscal 2010 earnings estimates. It is now expecting a 16 per cent increase in EBIT, leading to a similar jump in net profit.
AQP revealed its second quarter output of 225,000 ounces of PGM (platinum group metals) beating expectations of 198,000 ounces.
Citi said if Palladium remained around $US400 an ounce and Rhodium at $US2500 an ounce, AQP could have scope to deliver earnings upgrades.

Process industries rely on vast piping systems and connected equipment that must be sealed safely to protect their employees, profits and the environment. Safely sealing these systems can be challenging, but failure to do so can result in serious problems—including injury and death. Leaking pipes, pumps and valves can cause accidents and release substances that are harmful to human and environmental health. Leaks can also disrupt processes, resulting in downtime, maintenance problems and lost production.
Because they represent an insignificant portion of the total cost of the systems in which they are installed but play a critical role in their operation, sealing devices are characterized as low-cost, high-consequence components. For this reason, they warrant more attention than they often receive. Lower quality seals may be less expensive initially, but the savings can be diminished by:
- More frequent replacement
- Downtime
- Maintenance
- Regulatory penalties
- Workers' compensation claims
The key to safe sealing is diligent selection and installation of the optimal product for the desired performance within the operating parameters of the service.
Sealing Selection
Service conditions and performance expectations should be defined and compared to published product information to select the best sealing solution for a given application. This helps eliminate a low-performance seal from a critical service or, conversely, prevents unnecessarily selecting a more costly, high-performance seal. The total cost should be considered, which includes the product itself and the potential cost of failure in human, environmental and economic terms.
A simple acronym, TAMPSS (temperature, application, media, pressure, speed and size), serves as a guide for selecting the proper seal for each application.
The continuous temperature to which the seal will be exposed—including high/low excursions and any regular thermal cycling inherent in the process—should be the first consideration. The frictional heat generated by the rotating equipment will increase the temperature of the fluid contacting the seal. Temperature parameters will immediately limit the number of viable seals for an application.
The seal's use and function also influence the selection. This information indicates the anomalies of an application and the special requirements for optimal seal performance. Defining the parameters of an application requires information regarding the seal's installation location.
Selecting the proper gasket for a flanged piping connection requires the following:
- Knowledge of the flange types involved
- The flange's material of construction and physical condition
- The grade of bolts used to secure it
- Whether collectively these factors can provide sufficient compressive force to affect a leak-proof seal, which is extremely important because more than 70 percent of gasket failures are attributed to insufficient load
If the application involves sealing a valve, selection of the compression packing depends on:
- The condition of the stem
- If the valve's motion is reciprocating, helical or continuous
- If a specific level of leakage must be attained to meet environmental regulations
Identifying the media that will contact with the seal is imperative. Some processes use secondary media, such as food processing lines that are flushed daily with a sodium hydroxide solution. These processes require a seal that is compatible with this corrosive medium and the food being processed.
This refers to the internal pressure that a seal must contain. Most systems operate at fairly constant pressures, but as with temperature, end users must know if the seal will be subjected to pulses and other variations as a normal part of operation.
The speed of a rotating shaft or reciprocating rod must be considered when selecting oil seals, bearing isolators, mechanical seals or compression packing for dynamic applications. High speeds require seals made of materials that can withstand and effectively dissipate frictional heat.
Standard sizes for American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) flanges, American Petroleum Institute (API) valve stems, pump shafts and bore are available. Non-standard sizes are best conveyed to the sealing manufacturer in the form of dimensional drawings. Some applications may require field measurements.
Deciphering Published Information
End users should consider the published specifications in Table 1 for a braided carbon fiber compression packing.They should note that the highest and lowest temperature ratings to ensure that the product is suitable for use under the service conditions. The pH range is a general guide—not a shortcut to identifying the actual chemicals that will contact the seal. Maximum shaft speeds and pressure ratings differ for rotary equipment—including pumps and quasi-static equipment, such as valves.
The typical physical properties of two different modified polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) gaskets for flanged equipment connections are shown in Table 2.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Apr. 8, 2010) -- The National Space Symposium is the premier gathering of the global space industry and one reason it's so special is the support and hard work of a team of 250 volunteers. These extraordinary people donate hours of their time to assist Symposium staff and attendees in various capacities, from helping with registration to staffing the media center to assisting with logistics for the more almost 100 speakers appearing on the agenda.
On Wednesday evening, April 7, some of this year's Symposium volunteers attended an orientation meeting at The Broadmoor Hotel, where the event will be held April 12-15. Space Foundation CEO Elliot Pulham welcomed the group and told them that, with record attendance this year, the Space Foundation anticipates that almost 9,000 people will move through The Broadmoor next week as part of the event.
"The Symposium is a force of nature," Pulham told them, "and something we couldn't do without our volunteers. I'm delighted with the support we receive from the community, from local military bases, and even from some who travel from out of state to help out."
Every year the Space Foundation accepts volunteer applications through the National Space Symposium website (www.NationalSpaceSymposium.org), starting about two to three months before the event.

Trafford MV 65 All Out v Winsford 75 All Out TRAFFORD MV's 1st XI had a potentially good performance ruined as a poor batting display from Trafford MV failed to knock up the required target in a low scoring game. After winning the toss skipper Steve Haughton asked Winsford to bat first and following a tremendous bowling performance from Rashid Parvez who took 7-39,supported by Haughton,Tom Armstrong and Rags Nagaragu Winsford were bowled out for an achievable 75.
A weakened MV batting line up struggled to chase the low total due to some excellent bowling from the Winsford opening bowlers and only passing 20 in the 22nd over. Simon Lee was the only MV batsman to reach double figures hitting 26 before being last man out as MV fell ten runs short of the required total. The Winsford captain Mark Dean finished with excellent figures of 5-5 off 13.2 overs.

If I had done everything correctly, of course I wouldn't have gotten an error message at all. Surely the point is that if I do something wrong, I should get an error message that describes what I actually did wrong rather than an error message telling me that I did something wrong which I clearly did not do.

Hi everyone,
Its been a few years since I posted in here last. I'm looking to do a trip this April to Indonesia to do as the title says. I will have between 3 and 4 weeks. I want the main emphasis of my trip to be improving my surfing. I've done a couple of weeks here and there but I'm still a beginner. I'd consider a reasonably priced surf school or surf hire. I've had surf camp Lombok recommended to me but the price (600 pounds) for two weeks surf school seem a bit too much. Also having travelled a bit before I know how great it is to have flexibility.
As well as surfing I'd like there to be a party emphasis to it. Place to go out and meet people from all over the world. I'm 29 and whilst I don't mind partying it up now and again with 18 year olds, if I was surrounded by them away from anyone closer to my own age it would get tiresome. A few days downtime away from the partying would also be okay.
Also I have Advanced Padi and would like to do 3 or 4 days diving. Possibly from a live aboard boat, I hear the Gili islands are world class.
Will it be Spring break any time from April 6 to early May?
Advice on flights from Manchester, Accommodation, dive companies, anecdotes etc would be great.
I realise I don't have much time to plan.
Is April a good time to travel there? And what should I budget. I think I saw a flight for 650 return the other day. I have between 1500 and 1750 in total. Possibly a bit more if I had to.
Thanks in Advance

Arlington TX (SPX) Jun 20, 2011
A new Baylor University study has found that sunlight decreases the toxicity of golden algae, which kills millions of fish in the southern United States every year.
While golden algae is primarily a coastal species, it has been found in Texas rivers and lakes, including Lake Whitney and Lake Waco in Central Texas, and Lake Granbury in North Texas.
Experts believe that several environmental factors influence toxin production, but new research from Baylor scientists shows that sunlight is a key component in the magnitude and duration of the toxicity of the algae to fish.
Specifically, the study found that the longer golden algae toxins are exposed to natural sunlight, the less toxic the algal toxin becomes to fish and other aquatic organisms.
"What we think happens in terms of the large fish kills is that sunlight only penetrates down so deep in a lake, so in a lake with golden algae blooms, fish located at greater depths may be exposed to more algal toxins," said study co-author Dr. Bryan Brooks, associate professor of environmental sciences and biomedical studies at Baylor and director of the environmental health sciences program.
"Golden algae is aggressive and very unique because it can produce its own toxins, swim, photosynthesize and feed on other organisms. If we can figure out what stimulates and decreases the growth of this algae, we might be able to control it."
Along the Brazos River in north and central Texas, at least seven-million fish have been killed since 1988 due to high golden algae levels, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.
In fact, in 2005 more than a million fish died in Lake Whitney over a three-month period. Officials believe large golden algae blooms contributed to the deaths, attacking the fishes' gills and causing them to suffocate.
The study appears on-line in the Journal of Plankton Research. Scientists from the University of Texas at Arlington and Texas A and M contributed to the study. The study funded through a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Help save our native fish
Help save our native fish
Saturday 24 May is World Fish Migration Day, an event highlighting the importance of open rivers and migratory fish, and celebrated in over 250 locations worldwide.
This year Auckland Council is celebrating by completing remedial works across the region to open up stream habitats for native fish.
This is the third project in a region wide programme tackling barriers such as poorly installed culverts (pipes that allow water to flow under a road or obstruction) preventing fish from moving up the stream to breed.
This project on Great Barrier Island improved over 40km of stream environment for native fish. Other projects in South Auckland improved habitat along stream beds, removed barriers and re-established fish passages.
Culverts can prevent fish from migrating upstream to breed. As our native fish such as eels and whitebait species kokopu and īnanga don't have the jumping skills of salmon or trout, poorly installed culverts have had a significant impact on our native fish populations. Of particular concern are īnanga, which form the majority of the whitebait catch.
To make the culverts fish-friendly, ramps and ropes are installed to replicate a stream bed or the tree roots that the fish are able to climb.
These small fish are also sources of food for larger marine fish such hapuka, red cod and kahawai, and even some birds such the kingfisher, so by improving the habitat for these fish at a bottom of the food chain, many other species also benefit including us.
"The key to making these projects work is picking the right stream," says Craig McIlroy, the stormwater manager at Auckland Council. "We are targeting streams with good upland habitats, as that is the area of the stream these fish need the most."
The removal of streamside habitats can also harm our native fish population as trees and foliage provide shade and many fish lay eggs in stream bank grasses.
Environmental Services Manager Gael Ogilvie says, "Auckland Council is working with landowners across the region to fence and re-establish shading vegetation along many of our waterways.
"What we do on land and in streams has an impact on our native biodiversity. It's important to protect our natural taonga for future generations."
The culverts project is just one of a number of projects led by Auckland Council freshwater scientists and stormwater engineers to improve our stream environments across Auckland.
In South Auckland, the acquisition of Clover Park, bordering on Otara Creek, has provided Auckland Council with an opportunity to remove a disused ford and re-establish fish passage in the area, and in New Lynn, the council is working with Fruitvale School and Ritchies Coachlines to uncover a piped stream, improving passage for fish and creating an educational resource for the school.
Everyone has a part to play in helping to protect, restore and connect our native environment. To find out how you can help visit www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz

Stars' lawyer dies
Page Tools
Marvin Mitchelson ... attorney to the stars. Photo: Reuters
Celebrity divorce lawyer Marvin Mitchelson, who pioneered "palimony", has died, aged 76.
Mitchelson died yesterday after a battle against cancer at the Rehabilitation Centre of Beverly Hills, his longtime publicist Sy Presten said today.
"He was practising up until the time he got sick a couple of months ago," Presten said. "He was a workaholic, he worked around the clock."
Mitchelson began practising law in 1957 and first gained national attention in 1963, when he won a landmark US Supreme Court decision guaranteeing lawyers for indigent people appealing previous court rulings.
But gold-plated Hollywood divorces became the speciality of the flamboyant lawyer - even when there wasn't an actual marriage involved.
The Marvin vs Marvin palimony case made him a household name in the 1970s. Mitchelson won a $104,000 award for Michelle Triola Marvin, the live-in lover of actor Lee Marvin.
The award was later overturned, but the precedent-setting concept of palimony upheld by the California Supreme Court as part of the case came to signify a new social order for unmarried, cohabitating partners.
Michelle Triola took the name Marvin during their liaison.
Mitchelson fought for and won her right to bring the lawsuit and would say later that the day she was allowed into court was the day marriage and family law changed forever.
While Mitchelson saw the indigent defendants case as his greatest accomplishment, his practice took a turn toward the glamorous following Marvin vs Marvin.
"They came to him," Presten said of celebrity clients. "The more celebrities you have, the more you get. ... He loved to get the publicity."
His notoriety once landed him a guest role playing himself on the television show Golden Girls.
In his first celebrity divorce case in the 1960s, Mitchelson won a then-astonishing $1 million settlement for actor James Mason's wife Pamela.
He represented actress Joan Collins and model Bianca Jagger in high-stakes divorces, won millions for the ex-wife of billionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, and took on a Saudi Arabian sheik, Mohammed Al Fassi, in a lawsuit that spanned two decades and ended with an order for the sheik to pay his estranged wife $270 million.
"I had a tremendous practice," Mitchelson told The Associated Press in a 2001 interview. "I practised in 45 of 50 states and had lots of overseas cases. I was flying around a lot. I was totally caught up in it for 20 or 30 years. ... I was all over the place and I was totally stressed out."
In 1993, the high-flying lawyer lost everything when he was convicted and jailed for evading taxes on $2 million in income.
The state bar suspended him and he was forced into bankruptcy. He lost the fabled Beverly Hills "castle" where he and his family lived and a collection of Rolls-Royces.
During the next three years, he fought to stay out of prison while undergoing treatment for heart disease and malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.
Mitchelson would recall later how he wept during his first day in federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, and his determination to survive the sentence.
He became a prison appellate lawyer and helped gain freedom for three inmates. He also helped others learn to read and write and started prison French and opera clubs.
When he left prison in 1997, Mitchelson returned to law. He worked as a consultant for other lawyers until his licence was restored in 2000.
"I've been through a load of stuff," Mitchelson said in 2001. "I always believed you do the best with what you have."
In recent years, Mitchelson worked from an office high above Sunset Boulevard that was much more spartan than the ornate quarters where he once presided under a stained glass replica of Botticelli's Venus.
Mitchelson had no need for his own counsel as a divorce lawyer. He was married for 45 years and often joked that he wasn't setting a good example for his practice, Presten said.
Mitchelson is survived by his wife, a son and a sister.

Kevin Hughes, MP for Doncaster North, believes the plans for the Hatfield Colliery site will provide a huge boost to the local economy.
The Government gave approval for the scheme last week with the company behind the project, Coalpower Limited, hoping the plant will be up and running by 2006.
But Mr Hughes believes the power plant development, which includes a business park, will attract more investment to the area.
'Fantastic news'
He said: "There are plans to put in a link road straight from the M18.
"If that happens then it is possible to open up land to either side for further development.
"We could be looking at 2,500 jobs around the power plant and another 2,000 on the adjacent developments which is fantastic news."
The power station is expected to generate power for thousands of homes in the Stainforth area.
The proposals for the 430 megawatt plant had been referred to the government by Doncaster Council.

The building services group hasn't been spared in the recent bout of profit-taking hitting the markets, recording a loss of more than 6 per cent for the week.
Sentiment towards Hastie has been affected by the group's relatively large debt profile and its exposure to recession-stricken Europe and the Middle East, which is struggling to recover from the Dubai World debt crisis.
However, most brokers are confident about the group's future, and rate the stock a "buy", as it is trading on undemanding multiples.
JPMorgan is one with a bullish take on Hastie, although it warns that the group's interim result, due on February 24, is likely to show a two-speed organisation.
The broker expects Hastie's operations in Australia to record gains in market share and to hold their margins, but believes pressure will coninue for the group in the UK and Ireland. The broker doesn't expect a turnaround in the latter region until next financial year.
The good news is that the Australian business could more than offset this weakness and JPMorgan believes the group could post interim earnings above market expectations.
JPMorgan is forecasting a 6 per cent dip in revenue over the same time last year to $870 million and a 15 per cent fall in attributable net profit to $27.2 million.
For the full year, consensus forecasts are for a slight dip in revenue to $1.8 billion and a 10.5 per cent drop in net profit to $52.2 million.
The key things JPMorgan will be looking for include any increase in bad and doubtful debts, particularly in the Middle East, and Hastie's tax rate, which has previously been positively affected by research and development tax credits.
The stock is trading on a forward price-earnings multiple of 8.5 times for 2009-10 - a 28 per cent discount to other small cap building products companies.
Hastie shares closed down 8¢ on Friday at $1.89.

While countries like China and Brazil get much of the attention for their growth rates, many other emerging economies also have posted strong performances over the years. One is Peru. In 2010, the gross domestic product grew by 8.8%, and it is estimated to increase by 7.5% in 2011.
Well, IPO investors will soon have a chance to participate in Peru. Cementos Pacasmayo, which is Peru's largest cement producer, has filed to go public in the U.S. The lead underwriters include JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Banco Santander (NYSE:STD).
The origins of Cementos go back a hundred years, with the efforts of German mining engineer Mauricio Hochschild. He created the Hochschild Group, which built a variety of strong businesses in Latin America. Then by 1956, the firm acquired the controlling interests in Cementos, which controlled the cement market in northern Peru.
It turned out to be a great investment. Cementos has become one of the world's most profitable cement manufacturers. For the first nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011, the company generated $71.5 million in adjusted pretax earnings, which comes to an operating margin of 27.6%.
A key growth driver has been Peru's construction market. The housing sector is mostly underinvested and, as a result, is getting lots of traction. Consider that from 2006 to 2010, Cementos grew its cement volume by a compound annual growth rate of 12.8%.
In terms of reserves, the company is in a strong position as well. Cementos' quarries have enough supply of limestone for approximately 70 years, assuming current production levels.
And another advantage for Cementos is its independent retail distribution network, which includes 130 retailers of small, local hardware stores. It has been a smart way to create a brand as well as get premium prices.
No doubt, Cementos does not have the excitement of a Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN), Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) or LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD). But the company has a steady growth rate and a lock on its market, which should continue to see strength for the long haul.

Monsoon is set to hit Calcutta by Tuesday, at least 10 days behind its expected time of arrival.
The Met office announced the meteorological equivalent of achchey din aane wale hain (good days are ahead) on a Sunday when the sun made way for a canopy of dark clouds, thunder, lightning, wind and rain that many might have mistaken for monsoon.
The depression over the Arabian Sea and Cyclone Nanauk that were holding back the south-west monsoon have apparently subsided, making way for the annual rain-bearer to move smoothly towards the city.
The south-west monsoon was held back by a strong low-pressure zone over the Arabian Sea that had intensified into a cyclone. But the system has disintegrated and monsoon is now on course. It reach Calcutta within the next two days, said an official of the India Meteorological Department, Delhi.
Monsoon usually arrives in Calcutta between June 8 and 10.
Weather scientists classified the afternoon storms over the weekend as pre-monsoon activity. Swirling, movie-like clouds accompanied by a squall, thunder and lightning brought heavy rainfall to the city on Sunday. It was a rerun of Saturdays weather sultry till noon, thunderstorm and rain in the afternoon and a tolerable Celsius at night.
Sundays weather was better in the sense that the rain lasted till about 8pm even after the squall blew past.
Just a perfect night for catching the Fifa World Cup action on the telly, with a soft cool wind blowing through the window.
The downside of the squalls was that lightning killed two persons in Howrahs Uluberia. Prasanta Pal, 42, was charred to death while on his way home while Basanti Das met the same fate tending crops in her farm.
Sundays rain was not directly related to monsoon winds since the northern limit of its Kerala arm is still stuck near the southern coast of Andhra Pradesh. The squall has more to do with a south-western wind blowing moisture inland from the Bay of Bengal as well as a cyclonic circulation over Bihar.
Relatively small columns of cumulonimbus clouds formed in three districts north of Calcutta got into the act to drench the city.
Rainfall was skewed as parts of north Calcutta got more than the south. Between 3.10pm to 4pm, the Calcutta Municipal Corporations Ultadanga pumping station recorded 70mm precipitation. South Calcutta received moderate rainfall: Kalighat registered 18mm while Ballygunge got 17mm (see chart).
The Alipore Met office recorded 38.4mm of rain. The wet seasons perennial scourge returned with usual-suspect Thanthania going under a foot of water after 23mm of rain in the area.
Elsewhere, people made the most of the wet weekend afternoons, catching raindrops on outstretched palms from car windows and in the face on the terrace. The city was almost dark at 3pm as thick clouds accompanied by a strong wind enveloped the city. The Met office said the wind speed reached 57kmph between 3.15pm and 3.16pm.
Other than a handful of enthusiastic footballers, Maidan was empty in the afternoon. So too was Victoria Memorial. It was soothing initially but drizzle turned into downpour in a matter of minutes, said Akanksha Seksaria, a Delhi resident who had gone to Victoria with relatives.
Sundays maximum temperature was 38.3 degrees Celsius until the squall swept in. The discomfort index will keep low on Monday as much of the humidity has been sucked out, said G.C. Debnath, the director of IMD, Calcutta.

The San Diego Padres gave former South Hills High School pitcher Adrian De Horta an offer he couldn't refuse.
And the reigning Tribune Player of Year didn't.
De Horta, who helped the Huskies to their third consecutive Sierra League crown and a spot in the CIF-Southern Section quarterfinals this spring, signed with the Padres on Wednesday and will forgo a scholarship offer from Cal State Fullerton.
He was drafted in the eighth round of the MLB First-PLayer Draft earlier this month. He signed for $425,000, which is about $269,000 above the MLB's slot value for an eighth-round pick. De Horta will report to the Arizona Summer Rookie League, which runs late June to late August. The Padres team is based in Peoria.
"It was a tough decision," De Horta said. "I had become close to the guys at Fullerton. I was looking forward to being part of that tradition and being able to play with guys like (former Bonita pitcher Justin) Garza and those guys.
"But this was also about my family and a chance to help my mom out. Plus, I'm chasing that dream."
De Horta was the top player in the area this season. He was a pitcher/designated hitter. He hit .366 with 22 RBIs and 10 extra-base hits. He was 11-1 on the mound, with a 1.47 ERA and 97 strikeouts. His fastball hovers above 90 mph.
The former Huskie said the extra bonus money played a part in his decision.
"For them to want to pay that much over (the slot value), it showed how much they like me," De Horta said. "It was a big thing. They've showed a lot of interest in me, so it was a major factor."
He also likes the idea of starting out near his home.
"It's only a (few) hours drive from (Southern California), so my family and friends can watch me play," De Horta said. "That's great. I'm really excited to get over there and start working out and getting my pro career started. It's really exciting."

Could it be the United States Federal Reserve is getting a little desperate?
A key development from the minutes of the latest meeting shows the world's largest central bank is now entertaining an idea it firmly knocked back more than once just a few years ago.
In August 2010 when markets where getting ready for the second round of quantitative easing
Back then it was thought such a move would be disruptive and money markets might become less liquid.
But not anymore. Now it seems that most Fed officials see the idea as worthwhile.
It doesn't mean it will happen, but it shows the bank is mulling over any idea to dull the pain that might occur as they look to wind back their ultra-loose monetary policy in the months ahead.
Investors can be excused for feeling a little confused after the release of these minutes. On the one hand, the Fed wants to start tapering, but on the other, they still need to get the US economy strong enough to create enough jobs.
And earlier this week Ben Bernanke and
If you think the timing of retail investors is bad, that statistic from Morningstar might also make you very nervous.
So far this year mutual funds have been handed $US172 billion to invest, the largest amount since they got $US272 billion in 2000.
But at some stage the Fed is going to unwind all the stimulus and it seems that even they don't quite know how it's all going to pan out.
To take a line from Bernanke's speech he said "we are somewhat less certain about the magnitudes of the effects on financial conditions and the economy of changes in the pace of purchases or in the accumulated stock of assets on the Fed's balance sheet".
If they don't know who does?
Financial markets have relied on central banks since the crisis and maybe other banks are also getting a little worried.
Earlier this month the European Central Bank caught more than just a few experts off guard by cutting the benchmark interest rate a quarter of a percentage point to a record low 0.25 per cent.
And the Reserve Bank of Australia has also been caught by the Fed's policy that has led to a very weak US dollar and a much stronger than desired Australian dollar. It has forced the RBA to try and talk the $A down, a thankless task by anyone's standards.

text: drones Yonts is OK with Idea of Drones Being Used by Businesses By John Null • Dec 2, 2013 A Kentucky state representative who has co-sponsored legislation to limit the use of surveillance drones says the bill provides an exemption for the use of drones by businesses, like the ones that Amazon plans to use for the delivery of products. Brent Yonts says his support of the bipartisan bill hinges upon an exception for business drones. "There are a lot of business uses for drones," said the Muhlenberg County Democrat. "For example, at certain heights that are low to the ground, they're used in agriculture purposes to look for bugs in crops, for drought areas that might need to be irrigated and any number of things that are cheap and quick and efficient." Yonts says his bill's intent is to make sure drones are not invading Kentuckians' privacy. The drones Amazon plans to begin using in four to five years are capable of delivering five pound packages to a location within 10 miles of one of its distribution centers. Kentucky has a number of these centers that are closer to urban areas like Lexington and Louisville. Rand Paul: FBI Answers to Questions about Drones "Insufficient" By WKU Public Radio News • Jul 26, 2013 A letter sent to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul from the FBI says the bureau has used domestic drones for surveillance in ten cases since 2006. The letter came in response to a series of questions Sen. Paul asked the FBI regarding its drone use. Sen. Paul says he will maintain a hold on the nomination of James Comey to be the next FBI Director. Senators can place holds on Presidential nominations, something that is often done to draw attention to a specific issue. Paul says the FBI's answers to his questions about domestic drone use are "insufficient". The Bowling Green Republican has sent the bureau a follow-up letter with more questions. Politico reports that in its response to Paul, the FBI says the agency has used domestic drones for surveillance in the U.S. in eight criminal cases and two national security cases since 2006. Sen. Rand Paul: FBI Not Forthcoming with Information on Drone Use By WKU Public Radio News • Jul 18, 2013 Kentucky Senator Rand Paul says he's still waiting for FBI officials to answer questions about how the agency is using drones in the U.S. Appearing Thursday on the public radio program The Takeaway (broadcast at Noon C.T. on WKU Public Radio), the Bowling Green Republican said he's disturbed by the recent admission by FBI leaders that they are using drones in this country without having privacy guidelines in place. Paul told host John Hockenberry that he has sent the FBI a series of questions about the agency's use of drones, such as whether or not the FBI obtains search warrants before using the surveillance tactic. Paul said the revelations about domestic drone use combined with the amount of information being collected by the National Security Agency should concern lawmakers and citizens alike. Senator Paul Wants Answers on Drones, Threatens to Block FBI Director Nominee By Lisa Autry • Jul 10, 2013 U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is telling FBI director Robert Mueller that he will object to the nomination of his successor until he gets answers on domestic drone use. In a letter this week to Director Mueller, Senator Paul turns up the heat for an explanation of how the FBI uses surveillance drones on U.S. soil. "The American people have a right to know the limits that the federal government operates under when using these drones, and whether further action is needed to protect the rights of innocent Americans," writes Paul. The letter is a follow-up to a previous letter sent on June 20 that asked for a response by July 1. Senator Paul states in his latest correspondence that until he gets adequate answers to his questions, the Kentucky Republican will object to the nomination of James Comey as the next FBI director and encourage his colleagues to the do the same. Drone use is a hot-button issue for Paul, who in March, filibustered for 13 hours the nomination of CIA Director John Brennan over the use of domestic drones. Bill Limiting Drone Use Already Filed for Kentucky General Assembly's 2014 Session A bill has already been pre-filed for the Kentucky General Assembly's 2014 session—and it deals with the use of drones in the state. Republican state Rep. Diane St. Onge bill limits how unmanned aircraft can be used. It allows U.S. military personnel to use drones in Kentucky for practice purposes. And it also allows drones to be used by law enforcement agencies if they have a specific warrant to do so. Under St. Onge's bill, all other drone usage would be banned into Kentucky, including general use by law enforcement and corporations. The freshman lawmaker from Lakeside Park says she's filing the bill because she's concerned about the threat to civil liberties with frequent drone use. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 next › last »


text: note rubasov This post is a little late, but I've just came across [mod://Regexp::Compare] and remembered your OP. Putting aside the theoretical complaints on complexity consider the following code: <c> use strict; use warnings; use IPC::Run3; use Regexp::Compare qw( is_less_or_equal ); my @re = ( qr/asdf/, qr/asd/, qr/as/, qr/a/, qr/./, qr/.*/, ); my $stdin = ''; my $stdout = ''; my $stderr = ''; for my $i ( 0 .. $#re ) { for my $j ( 0 .. $#re ) { $stdin .= "$i $j\n" if is_less_or_equal( $re[$i], $re[$j] ); } } # tsort (GNU coreutils) 8.4 run3 [ 'tsort' ], \$stdin, \$stdout, \$stderr; print $stderr; my @idx = split /\s+/, $stdout; print "$_\n" for @re[@idx]; </c> <p> In the output the most specific regex comes first and the most generic comes last. If you put more than one equivalent regexes into your input then you get a nice warning on loops: </p> <c> my @re = ( qw/./, qw/./, qw/.+/, ); </c> <c> in $stderr: tsort: -: input contains a loop: tsort: 0 tsort: 2 tsort: 1 tsort: -: input contains a loop: tsort: 0 tsort: 2 tsort: -: input contains a loop: tsort: 1 tsort: 2 </c> <p> I've used [wp://topological ordering] because the <i>more-specific</i> relation on regexes is not a total ordering (I hope I'm using the correct math terms), however this still guarantees that a more specific item comes earlier therefore you won't get the "false" (more generic) match first. </p> <p> As a sidenote: while playing with this, I've realized that your sample regexes are a little "dirty". Let's take <c>\AHi</c> and <c>\b(Hi(ya)?|Hello|Greetings)\b</c> for instance. None of these two is more specific than the other, because none of the sets of every possible match is a subset of the other. (Consider the strings <c>His</c> and <c>Foo Hi</c>.) </p> <p> Specifically GNU [wp://tsort (Unix)|tsort] is probably a better choice than [mod://Sort::Topological] as it does not die on cyclic graphs. </p> <p> Of course Regexp::Compare uses heuristics, I suppose something along like this: <c> hypothesis: $re1 <= $re2 is_less_or_equal( $re1, $re2 ) specific -> $re1 $re2 <- generic if exists $str that $str =~ /$re1/ and $str =~ /$re2/ -> no consequence $str =~ /$re1/ and $str !~ /$re2/ -> falsifies hypothesis $str !~ /$re1/ and $str =~ /$re2/ -> corroborates hypothesis $str !~ /$re1/ and $str !~ /$re2/ -> no consequence </c> But I cannot tell how well it performs for real regexes. </p> <p> I hope this is useful for you. </p> 829117 829117

I had Botox around the eyes 10 days ago. But when I smile, I get accentuated deep lines under both eyes over the cheek bone that I've never had before. There are also some residue lines leading off that have not been captured by the Botox. This makes it look as though my eye area is very tight and shallow and my cheeks swollen. I am told this cannot be corrected. Is this true as I have never seen this on other people? I can't attach a picture at present.

Deep Under Eye Lines After Botox
Hi Marie,
Sorry for the unsatisfactory Botox results. You should share your concerns with your injecting physician who best knows how much and where the Botox was placed.
The physician may or may not be able to correct your problem at this time. You should make sure that both your physician and you know exactly where and how much Botox was injected so that the exercise will not ever be repeated.
I hope that you recover quickly. Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Under eye lines after Botox are reversible
I am trying to get a mental picture of your concern, but I am not sure.
First, the Botox is temporary, so even if you hate it, it is reversible, and no permanent damage has been done. I would recommend discussion with your doctor. Nothing better for reassurance than evaluation from the person you trusted to do your therapy. He may be able to supplement the Botox and take care of the untreated areas, or balance the areas that resulted in the disatisfaction.
You might also like...
Botox affects the balance of the facial muscles.
The facial muscles are in balance. When Botox is injected, the goal is to achieve a new, enhanced balance. Sometimes, Botox is too effective. If you had fairly significant wrinkles and lines around your eyes and had Botox injected into the crow's feet, then there is a chance that the transition zone is accentuating your other periorbital lines. Additionally, you still have active midface muscles which, when they contract, will cause the lines. You should not have Botox injected into these muscles, as it will affect movement of your upper lip and smile. You should find out how much Botox was injected into your crow's feet and have less injected next time. If you provide a picture, we may be able to give you more specific advice. Good luck.

Barron Hilton Shows Off His Wounds in Hawaii
Hilton looked to be enjoying himself as he hit the water while doing some paddle boarding with his lady friend. You can see that Barron's injuries from his altercation with one of Lindsay Lohan's friends in Miami, that he is healing up nicely.
Barron got in to an altercation with Ray Lemoine at a house party in Miami on December 6, 2013.
No charges have been brought over the incident because Hilton hasn't been been talking to police detectives.
The Miami Herald reports, "The victim in this case was very uncooperative at the scene, and continues to be uncooperative," said MBPD spokesman Bobby Hernandez. "Detectives have been calling him since Friday, but he hasn't been answering his phone and returning calls."
It sounds pretty fishy to me.
Check out more pics of Barron, his wounds and lady friend in the gallery above.

canadian rockies' trails
best day hikes and short backpacks
Hiking trails in the Canadian Rockies
Each of the great mountain ranges in North America has claims to be an outstanding hiking destination. The Sierras have Yosemite and the best weather; Alaska the highest and wildest peaks; the North Cascades and Coast Mountains of British Columbia the most diverse climate (and some gruelling trails). I've enjoyed fantastic hiking in all of these, but the Canadian Rockies get my vote for the best hiking trails in America. The scenery is spectacular and the range of trails unmatched: from short easy day hikes to long backpacks. This page describes some of the best day hikes and short backpacking trips in the Rockies.
  Berg Lake trail, Mount Robson Provincial Park
Whether you hike, bike, or run the trail the Berg Lake hike in British Columbia's Mount Robson park should be atop your wish list of Canadian Rockies' adventures. It's my top hike in North America. Mount Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rocky Mountains (3,954m or almost 13,000 feet) and, thanks to its isolated location at the northern extremity of the range, the most heavily glaciated. The sight of the Berg Glacier flowing some 2,000m down from the summit snowfields into its namesake lake is the single most spectacular vista in the Rockies.
Hiking to Berg Lake requires just enough effort to add value to the view. From the trailhead, 60 miles west of Jasper along Highway 16, it's 13 miles of hiking (one way) to the Berg Lake campground and shelter near the shore of the lake. Most people tackle this as a short backpacking trip, camping either at Berg Lake itself or at some of the other well-situated campgrounds (especially the Emperor Falls campground) en route. The trail is well maintained and, for the most part, only moderately difficult, though there's a stiff section of climbing through the Robson River gorge to attain the upper Robson River Valley containing Berg Lake. The hike is outstandingly scenic the whole way: landmarks such as Emperor Falls or the Valley of a Thousand Falls - which if you're making good time are here mere diversions to the goal of reaching Berg Lake - would be major destinations almost anywhere else.
Practicalities: I've hiked the Berg Lake trail twice, the first time as a day hike, which is not quite as crazy as it sounds because you can use mountain bikes for the first few miles. Most people though do this as a short backpack, in which case I'd recommend camping at the Emperor Falls or Berg Lake campgrounds. From the Berg Lake campground it's possible to take a day hike to Snowbird Pass, which yields a spectacular vista of the Robson glacier. Camping permits can be reserved by phone through Mount Robson Provincial Park, though you can also chance your luck for a walk-up (except on the busiest days, this is unlikely to pose a problem). The main hiking season starts in mid to late June, and runs through September.
  Lake Magog, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park
Lake Magog lies at the heart of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, in the southern part of the Canadian Rockies. Options to see the stunningly beautiful region surrounding the mountain cater for pretty much every level of fitness (and levity of wallet): you can helicopter, ski or hike in along numerous trails, and thereafter enjoy either the considerable luxury of the Mount Assiniboine Lodge or the more basic charms of the backcountry campground. In 2009, we hiked to the lake out-and-back along the 18 mile trail that starts at the Sunshine Village ski area in Banff National Park (at high elevation) and proceeds to the lake via Citadel Pass. The hike in, although scenic from the start, does not compare to the beauty around Lake Magog (for this reason the hike does not quite match the heights of the Berg Lake trail). I'd recommend not dawdling and going at least as far as Lake Og (13 miles), and ideally all the way to Lake Magog, before camping. Be aware though that while Citadel Pass is a trifling obstable on the way in, it's much stiffer on the way back! You might consider either breaking the return into shorter pieces by camping at Lake Og or, with a shuttle, hiking out via a different route, such as the Wonder Pass trail which returns to the Mount Shark trailhead.
Whether reached by dint of muscle power, or with the aid of one of man's infernal machines, Lake Magog is a magical spot. The campground occupies a forested rise at the far end of the large lake, just above rocky beaches from where there are great views of the peak. Dawn saw the postcard reflection of a golden Mount Assiniboine seen in the photo above. Several day hikes are possible from Lake Magog, so it's worth basing yourself at the campground for at least a couple of days to explore some of the surrounding ridges and passes.
Practicalities: This is an easy trip to organize. Reservations are only needed if you plan to camp in Banff National Park near the start of the trail from Sunshine Village (not recommended in any case), otherwise permits are issued on a self-service basis at the Lake Og and Lake Magog campgrounds (if you arrive at Lake Magog to find the campground officially "full", which happened to us, you'll be directed to pitch your tent on whatever flat spot you can find in an adjoining meadow). The only booking to consider making in advance is for the Sunshine Meadows shuttle bus which goes from the parking lot at the base of the Sunshine Village ski area up to the meadows where the trail starts. Taking the bus saves 4 miles of tedious uphill road walking on the way out (if you hike out from Magog in a day, as we did, skipping the downhill at the end will seem like an even more blessed relief!). The nearest towns are Banff and Canmore in Alberta.
Wildlife: Watching an osprey fishing in Lake Magog was one of the highlights of our trip, but otherwise we didn't see much in the way of large wildlife. You should still go loaded for bear, though, not on account of bruins (though grizzlies call both Banff and Assiniboine home) but rather for bugs. Voracious members of the phylum Arthropoda were thick in the air when we visited Magog at the very end of July, and withough long sleeves, pants and headnets we wouldn't have enjoyed our Mount Assiniboine hike nearly as much.
  Iceline trail, Yoho National Park
Yoho National Park is home to both cerebal and visceral wonders. The cerebal highlight is the Burgess Shale, historically one of the world's most important fossil beds, whose Cambrian fauna play the starring role in Stephen Jay Gould's best book "Wonderful Life". As a professional scientist myself (though an astronomer, not a paleontologist), it's with some shame that I have to confess I haven't taken the guided hike that's the only way for visitors to see Walcott's Quarry. I have, on the other hand, seen the visceral highlight, the almost 400m (1260 foot) high Takakkaw Falls at the end of Yoho Valley Road. It ranks alongside California's Yosemite Falls (during the Spring runoff) as one of the most impressive waterfalls in North America.
Takakkaw Falls itself is not difficult to see. In fact, you can almost reverse your car into the falls from the parking lot at the end of the Yoho Valley road, which, although enormous, is not enormous enough to cater for tourist demand in high season. Once you've seen the falls, I'd recommend hiking the Iceline trail, which connects with other trails to allow several excellent loop hikes. From Takakkaw Falls the trail climbs steeply to ascend the opposite valley wall from where, above treeline amid a barren landscape of rock and vestigal glaciers, there are excellent views of the falls, the Daly glacier, and the distant peaks that ring Lake O'Hara. Among many hiking options, the simplest is an 8 mile out-and-back along the Iceline to the highpoint. The scenic rewards amply repay the effort required to gain some 2,000 feet. Alternatively, it's possible to make several loops, either by descending on the Highline trail via Lake Celeste or by taking the Iceline all the way into Little Yoho Valley. The loop options add 2 to 5 miles to the distance and pass some attractive meadows and (smaller) waterfalls, at the expense of adding a rather tedious final trudge through the forest to get back to the trailhead.
  Lake O'Hara hiking trails: the Lake O'Hara Alpine Circuit
The Lake O'Hara region of Yoho National Park is often cited as being the most beautiful single spot in the Canadian Rockies. Every element of the quintessential Rocky Mountain scene is present and accounted for here: emerald green glacial lakes, lush forest, barren cirques and snowy peaks. It is, genuinely, a wonder to behold, though I hesitate to say it's a great photographic location. Shame on you if you fail to take a picture postcard photo amid such scenery; deepest respect if you can make an original image from such stereotypical building blocks.
A wealth of mostly easy trails allow you to explore some of the other lakes and viewpoints above Lake O'Hara. For the keen hiker, the best single option is probably the 8 miles of the Lake O'Hara alpine circuit loop, which combines stretches of trail with marked routes along rocky ledges to visit Lake Oesa, Opabin Lake and Schaffer Lake. Along the way there are several impressive viewpoints of the lakes and valleys below, with the panoramic vista from All Souls Prospect (below) being my personal favorite. Overall though I'd rate the hike merely as very good rather than excellent, with my gripe being that the whole thing feels rather manufactured: the ledges and traverses of the alpine circuit, although scenic and adventurous, don't actually take you anywhere you can't also go to via shorter, more direct trails.

Practicalities: Since you cannot drive the unpaved road that leads from the trans-Canada highway to the lake, there are only two easy ways to visit Lake O'Hara. The first is to book a room at the Lake O'Hara Lodge, thereby taking care of eating, sleeping and transportation in one fell swoop. Alas the lodge is both extremely pricey and absurdly overbooked. The second is to walk to the lake along the road from the parking area. Alas it's 7 rather tedious miles each way. If neither of these options appeal, you'll need to book a shuttle and / or reserve a campsite, which requires advance planning. Reservations for the Lake O'Hara bus are accepted, by phone only, up to three months in advance of the date of your trip, but to stand a chance in summer you'll need to reserve exactly three months ahead (and then pray for good weather on the day). Call the reservation line (250.343.6433 - in 2009 it seemed to be staffed by one charming, but surely harried, woman) at 8AM Mountain Standard Time, and be prepared to hit redial for an hour or more until you're accepted into the queue (in which case rejoice, as the phone queue itself is short). It's a moderate hassle.
  Wilcox Pass trail to Athabasca Glacier overlook
The Athabasca glacier, whose snout lies within walking distance of the Icefields Parkway, is one of the signature tourist sites in Jasper National Park. There's an interpretive center just off the highway, and you can take a tour on modified buses out onto the ice. For a slightly more wilderness experience, the Wilcox Pass trail climbs to a low pass on the opposite side of the road, from where there are spectacular views of the glacier and the surrounding peaks. From this elevated vantage, the scale of the glacier is much more impressive than from the highway. It's a pretty easy but highly recommended hike - about 6 miles out and back with a little over a thousand feet of elevation gain. It's possible to continue over the pass, away from the glacier, into a high and barren alpine valley, which is extremely scenic in its own right.
  Parker Ridge trail to Saskatchewan Glacier viewpoint
Driving the Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper is one of the highlights of a Canadian Rockies vacation. Among many possible Icefields Parkway hikes, most of which are mere leg-stretchers, the short but quite steep climb (about 3 miles round trip, with 900 feet of elevation gain) to the Parker Ridge may yield the greatest reward for the least effort. Although the view of Mount Athabasca from the highway is already impressive, there's no hint of either the Saskatchewan Glacier or of the epic panorama of peaks that unfolds once you crest the ridge. The trailhead is right on the highway about 3 miles south of the boundary between Banff and Jasper National parks at Sunwapta Pass. This popular hike is unmissable if you're driving the Icefields Parkway.
  Mount Fairview trail from Lake Louise, Banff National Park
The summit of Mount Fairview, above Lake Louise in Banff National Park, is the highest point you can reach on a maintained trail in the Canadian Rockies. Down south in Colorado the elevation of 2744m (9000 feet) would be considered derisory, but this far north both the plains and the peaks are a lot lower. The summit affords a great panorama that encompasses the glaciated peaks at the head of Lake Louise, snowcapped Mount Temple, and distant glaciers that lie to the north along the Icefields Parkway. Overall, this is a good moderately strenuous day hike that fully satisfies one's craving to make it to the top of something!
Practicalities: the trail leaves from the shore of Lake Louise. From there, it's just 3.3 miles to the summit of Fairview, but 1000m vertical meters (3300 feet). The last mile is especially stiff. Although Lake Louise is the most popular destination in the Canadian Rockies, the hike is long and difficult enough to be merely popular rather than intolerably crowded. Nonetheless, one should avoid Lake Louise like the plague on holiday weekends: when it might take an hour or more just to find a parking space.
  Mount Edith Cavell, Jasper National Park
Mount Edith Cavell and its hanging glacier, located less than an hour's drive south of Jasper at the end of the Cavell Road (normally open June through October), is one of the premier drive-up attractions of Jasper National Park. Two short hikes leave from the parking lot at the end of the road: the easy Path of Glacier loop (about one mile roundtrip) and the Cavell Meadows Loop, which is about 5 miles long with more than a thousand feet of elevation gain. Both trails offer great views of the mountain and the icy lake at the foot of the glacier. Since access is so easy, this is also a good location for photographing sunrise in Jasper National Park.
Longer hikes into the Tonquin Valley also depart from the Mount Edith Cavell Road, shortly before it dead ends at the Mount Edith Cavell parking area. Camping near the Ramparts and Amethyst Lakes is supposed to be exceptional, and there are also some backcountry lodges in the valley.
  Nearby hikes in the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains
East of the main peaks of the Rocky Mountains lies nothing but foothills (interesting perhaps for hiking in the off-season) and interminable plains. Just to the west of the Rockies in British Columbia, on the other hand, rise the Columbia Mountains. Although geologically distinct from the main body of the Canadian Rockies, the ranges are close enough together that it's easy to hike in both. Lying to the west, the Columbia Mountains are probably wetter than the Rockies, certainly less visited, and unfortunately much less well protected against logging and other commercical activities.
Of the small number of hikes I've done in this region, the standout is the day hike to the Conrad Kain hut in Bugaboo Provincial Park (part of the Purcell Mountains), which I rate as outstanding. The granite spires of the Bugaboos are well-known testpieces for climbers, and together with the Bugaboo glacier they provide a spectacular backdrop to a handful of marked hikes. This is a remote area accessed by lengthy approaches along (mostly excellent) logging roads, so a 4WD and / or brazen disregard for the provisions of a rental car contract are needed to get the most out of a Bugaboos adventure. But the effort is well worth it.
Another alternative is to hike in the Selkirk Mountains, part of which are protected as part of Canada's Glacier National Park (not to be confused with the US Glacier National Park in Montana!). The trans-Canada highway runs right through Glacier, which is a major plus (access is as easy as it gets) and a major drawback (you can see and sometimes hear the highway from some of the hikes). The hikes in this park are steep and not for the faint of heart, but they lead swiftly to some great overlooks of the mountains and of what remains of Glacier's glaciers. The picture above and to the right was taken from the Glacier Crest trail, which I'd rate as good to very good just for the barren and other-worldly vista at its culmination.

It must be quite a shock for Julia Gillard to find that President Barack Obama's re-election somehow transformed her into Australia's male, Christian president who "actually supports what he says".
Confused? So was Kristen Neel, a teenager from Georgia, who gained Twitter infamy in Australia in a matter of hours on Wednesday evening.
After news President Obama won four more years, the 18-year-old tweeted: "I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian and actually supports what he says."
She has since deleted her Twitter account, but search tool Topsy showed she was retweeted over 1500 times.
Before she went offline, Ms Neel tried to explain.
"I was referring to the prevous (sic) office that actually had a moral position," she wrote.
Australian political and media observers didn't take long to pounce, sending out numerous tweets:
.@kristenneel_ our "president" is a prime minister, is a woman, and is an atheist. I think you meant Antarctica. Move there.— Gilbert (@post_rock0) November 7, 2012
@kristenneel_ You do know Australia has a progressive female leader who is an athiest? Yes? I knew you did.— Concera Vota (@conceravota) November 7, 2012
@kristenneel_ Not one word of that sentence is true. I'm not even angry, I'm impressed.— ABCnewsIntern (@ABCnewsIntern) November 7, 2012
.@kristenneel_ 1) Australia does not have a president.2) Our prime minister is an atheist.3) Yes, she really is.— Mark Pesce (@mpesce) November 7, 2012
I feel sorry for @kristenneel_. USA, may I suggest more funding to Public Education to avoid another Twitter-tragedy in 4 years time.— Ken Sekiya (@ki_sekiya) November 7, 2012
Attempts have been made to contact Ms Neel.

Hi, I'd been using the contracts.ss library for a while. I don't mean any offence, but I find them almost completely unreadable =(. I know that obviously a lot of effort has gone into this library, but why was this particular syntax decided on? In any case, I've been playing around with some simple pre-post condition macros, and I've managed to come up with something which lets you specify a procedure like this: (define my-sqrt (lambda/pp (x) ((real? x) (>= x 0)) (result (or (and (< x 1) (> result x)) (and (> x 1) (< result x)))) (sqrt x))) > (my-sqrt 'a) precondition failed: (real? x) === context === stdin::19: my-sqrt > (my-sqrt -1) precondition failed: (>= x 0) === context === stdin::19: my-sqrt > (my-sqrt 9) 3 > (my-sqrt 0.25) 0.5 > (my-sqrt 1) postcondition failed: (or (and (< x 1) (> result x)) (and (> x 1) (< result x))) === context === stdin::19: my-sqrt (The error messages are more helpful with errortrace =) I like this because I find it to be a very clear and simple syntax, though I admit it falls short in a couple of areas (returning multiple values for one). Does anyone have any comments? In case you're interested, here's the code. Don't be too tough on it, though improvements are welcome. I'm still a macro noob =). (module private-pp mzscheme (provide lambda/pp-full) (define-syntax lambda/pp-full (syntax-rules () ((lambda/pp-full args preconditions () . body) (lambda args (do-conditions "precondition" . preconditions) (begin . body))) ((lambda/pp-full args preconditions (result . postconditions) . body) (lambda args (do-conditions "precondition" . preconditions) (let ((result (begin . body))) (do-conditions "postcondition" . postconditions) result))))) (provide lambda/pp-pre-only) (define-syntax lambda/pp-pre-only (syntax-rules () ((lambda/pp-pre-only args preconditions post-stuff . body) (lambda/pp-full args preconditions () . body)))) (provide lambda/pp-none) (define-syntax lambda/pp-none (syntax-rules () ((lambda/pp-none args preconditions post-stuff . body) (lambda/pp-full args () () . body)))) (define-syntax do-conditions (syntax-rules () ((do-contitions str) ()) ((do-conditions str ()) ()) ((do-conditions str cond1) (if (not cond1) (error (format "~a failed: " str) 'cond1) #t)) ((do-conditions str cond1 . conds) (begin (do-conditions str cond1) (do-conditions str . conds))))) ) ;; end module (module pp-full mzscheme (require "private-pp.ss") (provide (rename lambda/pp-full lambda/pp)) ) ;; end module (I also have pp-pre-only and pp-none modules, useful for speed or to preserve tail recursion) Henk Boom

THE overall turnout in Wyre Forest at this year's local election hit a three-year high but was just 36 per cent.
More voters turned out this year than the 30 per cent from Wyre Forest who voted at last year's Worcestershire County Council elections and the district council poll in 2012 despite heavy rain on Thursday last week but 64 per cent still did not bother.
It is thought several first-time electors and voters who had not turned out for many years were galvanised by the UK Independence Party's offering but district council staff and leaders will still be disappointed at the poor showing.
District returning officer Ian Miller said: "It was encouraging to see turnout increase to 36 per cent, compared to 30 per cent who voted in the local elections in 2012 and 2013 but no one should be happy about the level of participation in elections.
"I expect the turnout at the general election in 2015 to be much higher, in line with past trends, however, I will continue to take steps to encourage registration and participation. For example, the participation rate for people voting by post again exceeded 70 per cent and therefore encouraging more people to register for a postal vote may assist the overall turnout."
The highest individual ward turnout was 44 per cent in Bewdley and Arley where Conservative councillor Stephen Clee was re-elected.
The lowest was Oldington and Foley Park, in Kidderminster, at 27 per cent, where UKIP's Michael Wrench was victorious.
Next year's general election, which will also feature an all-out district council election and Kidderminster Town Council yes or no referendum, is expected to attract a turnout of about 60 per cent.

NEW DELHI – A 15-month-old Indian girl whose head has swollen to nearly double its normal size is "doing well," a doctor said Friday, but treatment could be complicated by the extreme nature of her case.
Roona Begum, who suffers from hydrocephalus, a rare disorder that causes fluid to build up on the brain, was discovered earlier this month living with her parents, who are too poor to pay for life-saving treatment.
The publication of pictures taken by a photographer in remote Tripura state in northeast India last week saw a top hospital in Delhi offer to examine the child and led well-wishers abroad to set up an online donation fund for her.
Roona's condition has resulted in her head swelling to a circumference of 94 cm , putting pressure on her brain and making it impossible for her to sit upright or crawl.
Her doctor, leading Indian neurosurgeon Sandeep Vaishya, who heads neurosurgery at the flagship hospital run by the private Fortis Healthcare group near New Delhi, said, "the child is doing well so far."
But he added: "Her case is very complex, so we are currently considering options of how best to proceed."
The most common treatment involves the surgical insertion of a mechanism known as a shunt, which drains cerebrospinal fluid out of the brain and toward another part of the body where it can be absorbed easily into the bloodstream.
In Roona's case, however, the huge size of her head relative to the rest of her body complicates matters, according to Vaishya.
"Her head is several times larger than her abdomen, so we have to consider how that much fluid will be absorbed by her body if we put in a shunt," Vaishya said.
"I am also worried because she has developed a skin condition on the base of her head, suggesting that her scalp is quite delicate, so a shunt could pierce through and leak fluid through the skin, causing other problems," he added.

EasyPBI searches for this default icon in the current working directory and, if it's not there, it will check PREFIX/share/pbimaker/

 The underlying library has been updated so it no longer assumes ports are kept in /usr/ports. We should now be able to work with a port tree in any location. So if the user downloads the ports tree using EasyPBI, we can now work with ports under the user's home. This removes the last "root requirement".

 The latest version is attached. If it works okay, I'll submit an updated PBIMaker and EasyPBI to FreeBSD's ports collection.
