Brussels (AFP) Feb 21, 2013
NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen pressed alliance members Thursday to halt cuts to defence spending, warning that military readiness and capabilities would otherwise suffer.
With governments squeezed financially, Rasmussen said there were limits to what could be achieved through greater cooperation and 'smart spending.'
Such efforts "are an important part of the response to economic austerity ... but there is a limit to how much we can achieve that way," Rasmussen told a press conference.
"We also need a sufficient level of defence spending," he said, warning that persistent cuts could "damage severely" the ability to meet new and emerging threats.
The first of a two-day NATO defence ministers meeting at its Brussels HQ was dominated by concerns over spending as the alliance prepares to wind down its biggest operation, in Afghanistan.
The United States, NATO's dominant power, has increasingly complained that European defence cuts mean it shoulders more of the burden even as Washington faces huge pressure on its own spending.
The situation could become acute next month if President Barack Obama and Congress fail to reach a budget accord.
Afghanistan and NATO's withdrawal in 2014 is also a major talking point at the meeting after Obama announced last month that he would cut US troop numbers by just over half this year from 66,000.
As the troops leave, the focus is on what the US and NATO role and presence will be after 2014. The plan is for a military training and advice mission but numbers have not yet been fixed in the absence of a US agreement with Kabul on the future legal status of US personnel.
Rasmussen reiterated Thursday that NATO plans were on track, with local Afghan forces due to take over the lead in combat operations in the coming months.
However, it appears more work needs to be done.
Rasmussen confirmed that a June summit on Afghanistan was being considered to try and nail down more of the post-2014 details.
Significantly, a NATO official said earlier the alliance was "strongly considering a proposal" to keep the Afghan army at around 350,000 through to 2018, rather than reduce it steadily to some 230,000 once foreign troops leave.
Rasmussen confirmed too that this was being discussed, along with the budget numbers involved.
The reduction, agreed at a NATO leaders summit in Chicago last May, was meant to ease the costs involved for the allies who will otherwise continue to fund the Afghan army.
The meeting has also been overshadowed by other developments in US domestic politics.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had not expected to make the trip but the Senate has delayed a vote on President Obama's nominee to replace him, Chuck Hagel, citing concerns over parts of his otherwise distinguished record.
At the same time, the withdrawal of US General John Allen, the former commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, from consideration for Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR) led to much speculation about who will take the post.
Reports said the new commander could be General Philip M. Breedlove, currently in charge of US Air Force units in Europe and Africa.
"Yes, that is true," one official said when asked about the report.

The authors of this study are looking at the evolutionary process of determining a mate for the purposes of reproduction.
This is not a study that looks at marriage, which is a legal union that ties people together.
Just because the first paragraph mentions marriage, it is not a discussion about marriage. In fact, the authors specifically use the words mating relationships; which, as we know, not all marriages are mating relationships.
Now you may say Im splitting hairs, but in the opening paragraph, did you happen to notice how the authors define marriages as being usually regarded as formal reproductive alliances? Another way of saying this would be While some marriages are usually regarded as formal reproductive alliances, NOT ALL marriages are defined in this manner.
I think this is an important distinction; one that cannot be overlooked.
Next, this article is focused exclusively on heterosexual RELATIONSHPS (not marriage) that are SPECIFICALLY for the purposes of reproducing.
It doesnt touch on those relationships in which couples make the conscious and mutually agreed upon decision that they will not reproduce.
As Ive pointed out to you time and again, the numbers of married couples who are choosing NOT to have children has been increasing over the past few decades. This article doesnt not address it and therefore does not ask or answer the question why?
Another problem with this article is that it does not examine homosexual relationships (long-term or short-term) at all.
Obviously same-sex relationships exist. Theyve always existed.
But since this is an article about the evolutionary processes involved with regards to opposite-gender couples in determining who to mate with; and NOT an article about marriage; the authors dont spend time talking about gays.
Their exclusion of researching same-sex relationships probably has more to do with the specific interests of the authors and the fact that in 1993, the same-sex marriage movement was not as prominent an issue as it is today.
Keep in mind, the first country to legalize same-sex marriage happened seven years after this article was published and who knows how long after the authors began their research.
Regardless of why homosexuality is not discussed by the authors, their exclusion of the subject CANNOT be viewed as an endorsement that marriage MUST BE reserved for opposite-gender relationships only.
Lastly, I did a search on David M. Buss, just to see what he has to say about homosexuality. One of his theories is that some men choose homosexuality because they are unattractive to women.
We know that homosexuality is not a choice. Thats stupid. Even the most homely straight man could notwould notchoose to become gay.
And all that David Schmitt has to say about gay men is that they, like heterosexual men, enjoy having more sexual partners than gay and straight women.
Heres the bottom line, you total rube; the article you cite is not about marriage. Its about mating and how it MAY have evolved over the millennia. Since it does not examine heterosexual relationships in which couples consciously decide to forgo having children and since there is no discussion at all about homosexual relationships, you CANNOT conclude that this article in ANY WAY supports the belief that marriage should be confined to opposite-gender couples.
Perhaps you should read beyond the first paragraph of an article before you decide to throw it around as proof-positive for your notions.

What's really funny is that he claims that the polygamists are trying to get on welfare, when they can have THEIR OWN BABIES, and work as well... Less likely to go on welfare when 1 spouse can stay at home and watch all the naturally earned babies, while everyone else goes to work. At least they can take care of all of their own business. They don't have to adopt kids, and leave 1/2 the household at home to watch the "Flowers In The Attic"... They are more able to avoid welfare than the SSSB couples...

Agreed. He should have remained in his car. Any history of violence should have been relevant, in such a high profile case. Pappy/Judge or not.

After two years of working with KDE, we think it is now time to share the results of our efforts to create a restricted KDE as part of our Linux-based thin client project that is now nearing completion. A write-up of our design and strategy is available as well as the patches that we used to customize KDE to our needs.
In a restricted desktop (kiosk-mode), the goal is to prevent the user from:
Michael Goffioul, the main architect of the new KDE Print system, has posted an HTML version of the presentation he gave at LinuxTag. The presentation is complete with screenshots and gives a good overview of the KDE Print technology featured in KDE 2.2. More info, screenshots and photos are available from the KDE Print site.
Sure to put an end to countless discussions on the ever-lively kde-look mailing list, and to cut off a stream of "wishlist" bug requests, KDE CVS (look for it in the upcoming KDE 2.2-beta1 release) now features task-grouping in Kicker, the KDE panel.
Our recent poll (courtesy KDE.com) on the upcoming KDE 2.2 suggests that the area of
This new KDE tutorial on IBM developerWorks is designed to teach you about KDE themes: Learn how to create, save, load, and share the fundamental look and feel of the KDE environment. After completing this tutorial, you should feel confident in your ability to customize KDE to fit your personal working style. (free registration required).
KDE developer Michael Goffioul today announced that he is actively addressing an area in KDE that warrants improvement: printing. He has committed source code to KDE CVS for a new KDE printing system to replace the limited Qt printing framework.
Support for LPR, CUPS and PDQ printing systems is already there.
There have been countless requests from KDE users, on the dot, on the lists, and even elsewhere, for a KDE Installer and Updater. Nick Betcher (aka Error403) has stepped up to the challenge and now needs your help to make this project really happen. His current code is in CVS and the project is in active development.
Bradley T Hughes has implemented multihead support for KDE 2.1, and is currently commiting the code. This is one fine feature masquerading as a bugfix but which should make a lot of people with multiple monitors quite happy.
Up to now, the KPart component model was limited to embedding in-process parts. XParts is an extension written by Matthias Ettrich, Simon Hausmann and Lars Knoll to extend kparts and make it possible to embed out-of-process components. The approach chosen is toolkit independent, as can be seen by their choice to embed Mozilla. Read on for the full announcement and details.
Kurt Granroth has taken the plunge and compiled KDE and X with a number of the cutting-edge extensions which Keith Packard has been working on. The result of hours of compiling and following a few simple instructions: a fully anti-aliased KDE session, with a screenshot to show how it looks.

Bikini Kill, a new release from M.I.A., a playlist for pride and more in our recap of music we tweeted this week
Bikini Kill: Rebel Girl
If you need a break after attempting our previous week's "Miley Cyrus challenge," check out the other end of the spectrum with this clip from the Bikini Kill archives featuring a live performance in Washington, DC in 1992. A shining symbol of feminism, Kathleen Hanna confronts the audience with her powerful vocals, reminiscent of the 1990s punk rock scene. Thankfully, "The Punk Singer," a documentary about Bikini Kill and Le Tigre lead singer Kathleen Hanna and her role in the riot grrrl movement was just picked up for distribution by Sundance Selects this week and will be released in the fall.
M.I.A.: Bring The Noize
The London-via-Sri Lanka female rapper is back with a high energy, club-ready new single and video with "Bring The Noize" in anticipation of her upcoming fourth album Matangi. Calling on longtime collaborator Switch and newcomer Surkin for beats, M.I.A.'s new track sounds like a culmination of her best efforts throughout her career with a contemporary UK house vibe. M.I.A.'s lyrics and visuals are no less controversial than before, taking shots at big banks and reminding us that "just 'cause I'm a mom it don't make me thick." While "Bring The Noize" is enough to get our attention, the track's visuals are equally interesting. An accomplished visual artist, M.I.A. draws heavily on religious imagery set inside a massive club. Keep an eye out for upcoming releases in anticipation of her new album, set to release this fall.
Ebony Bones: I See I Say
British singer-songwriter, record producer and actress Ebony Bones is big and getting bigger. She just released a new single from her second album Behold, A Pale Horse, and the sound and composition are undeniably explosive. Dynamically charged, the intense vocal loop and riveting orchestral strings in "I See I Say" drive the song all the way through. The children's choir accompaniment that comes in and out brings some sweetness to the song's more ominous personality, making for a very compatible contrast. After the success of her debut album Bone of My Bones and the promise of this single, be ready for the album to launch 5 August.
Yoko Ono and Cat Power: Revelations
This track comes from Yoko Ono's 2007 Yes, I'm A Witch remix album. Cat Power aka Chan Marshall took the vocals from Ono's original 1995 "Revelations" and transformed the song into a beautiful, stripped-down duet—a dialogue between the past and present. Marshall's choice to remove the guitars and drums puts the focus on Ono's poetic lyrics, parts of which are tenderly spoken in a mesmerizing manner; revealing a rare, tamer side of Ono, who just wrapped up curating this year's Meltdown Festival in London.
The Year in Queer Playlist by Rdio
It's been a huge week for LGBTQ politics and pride. To celebrate NYC Gay Pride Week, National Pride Month across the US and a marriage equality ruling by the Supreme Court, we're listening to Rdio's The Year In Queer Playlist. With songs from Frank Ocean, Tegan and Sara, Beyoncé, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mykki Blanco and Brenmar, the selection reflects "the biggest gay moments of the year." Each song and artist has been hand-picked for a particular—and excellent—reason. From Elton John and partner David Furnish having a baby, to Madonna being banned from Russia for publicly supporting gay rights, all of the songs reflect a significant moment from the year so far in the LGBTQ community. It's the perfect playlist to party to this pride weekend.

Sir Liam Donaldson, who is chief medical officer for England, said the move would cut deaths and encourage smokers to quit.
His comments come just days after doctors also urged the government to outlaw smoking in public places.
Sir Liam said the ban should apply to all workplaces and enclosed spaces, including bars and restaurants.
The Department of Health has indicated that ministers have no plans to introduce such a ban.
Public support
Earlier, the Office for National Statistics published a survey which suggested 87% of people would support such a move.
There was also wide support for restricting smoking in bars and restaurants.
Publishing his annual report on the state of the nation's health, Sir Liam said a ban would cut deaths from cancer and heart disease by reducing people's exposure to second-hand smoke.
An estimated three million people in the UK are exposed to second-hand smoke at work.
Sir Liam suggested a ban would also encourage one in five smokers to kick the habit.
Sir Liam said a ban on smoking in public places in Vancouver, Canada, had resulted in a fall in the proportion of people smoking from 22% to 15%.
"International experience has shown that the way to rapidly and successfully tackle the health risks from second-hand smoke is to take action on smoking in public places," he said.
"Moves to make public places and workplaces smoke-free would create a climate in which 'no smoking' is the social norm."
He urged ministers to give "very serious consideration" to banning smoking in public places and added: "Parliament should set an example and become smoke-free."
Voluntary approach
The Department of Health said ministers will consider the proposal.
A spokeswoman said: "Major changes to increase the number of smoke-free places will only come about, or be accepted, if people want them.
"We would prefer to continue working with the industry to raise awareness and change behaviour."
A Bill outlawing smoking in any premises that sells food is expected to be debated in the Commons later this month.
However, it is unlikely to be passed unless the government backs it.
There are moves to ban smoking in restaurants and pubs in Scotland and Wales.
The Tobacco Manufacturer's Association criticised the proposals.
Its chief executive Tim Lord said: "We have voluntary codes in place to deal with this problem. We do not need legislation."
Broad support
But anti-smoking groups welcomed the move.
Deborah Arnott, director of the anti-tobacco campaigning group ASH, said: "The government must listen to the chief medical officer and move to ban smoking in public places now."
She added: "Smoke free laws are needed to protect both the general public and employees."
Jean King, Cancer Research UK's Director of Tobacco Control, said: "The public's exposure to the huge range of cancer causing agents present in second hand smoke must be reduced."
She added: "All over the world countries are adopting bans on smoking in public spaces - protecting children in the home, safeguarding employees at work and encouraging smokers to quit."
Lesley King-Lewis, chief executive of Action on Addiction, said: "If there was a ban on smoking in public places it would need to be responsibly implemented.
"Companies would need to ensure that smokers were given the appropriate support and assistance to give up smoking prior to banning it in the work place. "
Professor Martyn Partridge of the National Asthma Campaign, said: "We welcome and fully support the CMO's steps to raise awareness of the dangers of second hand smoke."
The NHS Smoking Helpline will launch a new television advertising campaign next week highlighting the dangers of second-hand smoke.
Dame Helena Shovelton, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said: "I hope this new TV advert reinforces the message to parents that smoking around children is definitely a health risk that should not be ignored."

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, my name isXXXXX is the fill procedure from G.M.
Caution: The procedure below must be followed. Improper coolant level could result in a low or high coolant level condition, causing engine damage.
Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Note: Use a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL antifreeze and clean, drinkable water.

Hmmm - ok . You there?
Ok - didn't know this rad had a vent cap - had a 2004 Impala and it has over 400 000 km on it and always managed to get rid of gurgling - this 2010 is being a pain... any TSBS on that issue?
no known TSB just the published fill procedure for this car
I noticed that the rad overflow tank never seems to get lower after the engine cools. I also noticed that when the car is idling, it gets coller inside at the vents - is this all attributed to the air locks and gurgling?
Yes, the air in the system tends to get trapped in the heater core thus giving you the "gurgling" noise that you here and the reduced heat from vents. It will also cause your temperature gauge to fluctuate.
Temperature gauge seems to stay steady. Anyways - thanks for your help - one last question - this was a one shot deal - I didn't sign up for any monthly plan or charges , did I?
nope, you will only be charged when asking questions and then clicking "accept"
Thanks - lets hope it works!
Thank you for using Just Answer

Thanks so much - I am going to try tonight to see if I can remedy the issues without buying the tool - if it still doesn't work I'll go to NAPA - we have them up here in Canada. Thanks again! Rick
Well, I tried the fill procedure - worked for about 1/2 hr but then when the engine was turned off, started to gurgle again when it cooled. unreal. Was NO swishing / gurgling after following the procedure... ran hot ok. Seems to suck air into the system somewhere when it cools. Overflow tank also doesn't go down... what do you think? Air getting into the system somewhere else? I see no leaks on the outside of the engine block (head gasket leak) and the exhaust isn't white (internal head gasket leak)... the rad fluid seems abit frothy and bubbly when I use the flushing tee to bleed off the air (not brown as would indicate a head gasket leak) but the fluid in the overflow tank doesn't appear off colour.... and I don't smell any inside the car (heater core leak)...
I dunno... guess I have to buy that vacuum tool... hate to spend money if I don't have to.. The overflow tank doesn't suck fluid back when it cools and it gets the air in again when it cools... seems to me that somehow air is getting into the system. What do you think (sorry for the multiple questions).
I know the 3.1 Ls (notoriously), the 3.4 Ls, and even the 3.8 Ls (lesser extent) had an intake manifold gasket leakage issue at one time... could THAT be a spot where air could be coming in, causing this constant gurgling to occur after it cools?
But I see no white exhaust that would indicate that...On my old 3800 Impala engine, I also had one of two plastic elbows (which transfer rad fluid from the main block to the heater core outlets - they are located above the water pump) leak - THAT took me forever to find as the upper elbow had only a small crack and slowly dribbled it over the block where it would evaporate off. But I don't see such elbows on the 3.5L.
Anyways - could a leaking intake manifold gasket cause the bubbling to occur? I know the intake has been removed once on this engine...
OTHERWISE... guess I'll see if I can rent the vac tool or borrow it somewhere...
Ah - I don't know what to do with the thing... went to a Partsource and they don't have the equipment to rent or buy. Haven't made it to the NAPA store yet but suspect they won't either. I can bleed the sir out till it makes no noise then its back again the next morning when it cooled down.
One thing I didn't mention before is that I have a propane package on the engine - the installers put the propane converter in-line originally with the heater core lines and the propane system kept shutting down cause it would get too cold. Then they switched it to be in-line with the bypass line at the front of the engine and the converter stays hot. But the gurgling continues.
I can only surmise that the system is sucking air somewhere either on the lines leading to the converter, or in the converter itself. I see no leaks though.
This is a PRINS propane system - vapour sequential injection - similar to multiport fuel injection. Not cheap - a $5000 add-on. I do alot of commuting so it pays off well. In fact it was in the 2004 Impala and it ran well from 166,000 km to the day I took it out just shy of 400,000 km. The 3.8 STILL runs smooth - almost better than the newer 3.5L.
Anyways - this has ticked me off a fair amount because it had no issues in the 3.8L, but does with the 3.5. Could the water pump simply be too weak to handle the additional piping and converter?
What do you think?
The installer believes the water pump should be able to handle it as well - unless it is weak / bad. Hard to say. This is not a full propane conversion but more like a hybrid . The propane system is actually a second fuel system which attaches to the car - so a separate fuel tank, separate computer, separate set of injectors and injection lines. It has a module which copies the timing from the OEM system and puts it to the propane injection system... I can change between propane and gasoline at will. The converter takes coolant from the system and uses it to turn liquid propane into gaseous - so its basically a heat exchanger. I have attached a few photos of the converter and the injectors (stock photos not of my system but exactly the same).
This is a view from the top of the converter;Attachments are only available to registered users.Register Here
These are the individual injectors...Attachments are only available to registered users.Register HereIt doesn't need a huge volume of rad flyuid from the OEM system...and the lines leading through the converter from the front of the engine (bypass line) are in series... it worked just fine on the 3.8 L engine.Anyways - the installers figure it is just an anomoly with the 3.5 L engine. That, or a bad water pump. They will charge me $$$ to rip the intake apart to check the installer work.
My last ditch effort is to use a liquid stop leak and see if that stops the gurgling from coming back, once I bleed it. I know I know - heater core... I have used them before without any ill effects.
The only other thing I can think of is that the installers messed up the intake manifold gaskets and it is sucking air through there when it cools down. They did have to take the intake manifold off to install the individual injector lines.
Other than that... seems to run ok once it gets up and running down the road. If I leave it and don't purge it the gurgling just gets worse.
Its too bad you're not too far from the Canadian border - sau near Niagara Falls or Buffalo - I would drop by for you to look at the system up close.
Otherwise - keep posted. I'll let you know what I come up with .
TTYL then.
Well, lets see what has happened. I used stop leak and it didn't seem to change. Then I took it back to the propane guys and we exchanged some hoses and fittings. Refilled and re-ran and tried to get air locks out. Then they figured the rad cap was not working properly because it had pressure in the system still when it was ice cold... they figured it should have vented off when colling and the system had no pressure. So I replaced rad cap and am waiting to see if that fixes it. if not, will go to UAP / NAPA and get tool and do the last procedure once and for all.
Hmmm. No smoke. Runs ok when on the road. Idles ok. No oil in coolant. Possible loss of coolant but I think its coming out the back of the overflow tank.
What is weird is that the system is pressurized when cold. I guess the fact it is holding pressure negates that it has a leak of any sort, wouldn't you think?
I have called a local shop and they have the vacuum refill apparatus... just will cost me $40 to have this done. So will take it there next week to get done by them. See if there are any pressure leaks as well. But the fact it is not losing pressure when cold, is telling me there is none...
Think this is occurring because of the propane converter.... don't remember the swishing when i first bought the car and propane wasn't on yet...
Ok, well here's the finale - what was wrong...
After looking at all the symptoms, being;
- pressurized rad hoses when cold,
- air / liquid surge into overflow tank when loosening cold rad cap,
- constant bubbling off in overflow rad tank when running,
- pressure being maintained when cold and not leaking off,
- no rad fluid on ground, no other apparent leaks,
- no white smoke in exhaust,
- oil not white / opaque,
- rad fluid not brown / oily,
- no pooled fluid near intake manifold gaskets,
- steady (non erratic) idle
- loss of heat in cabin when idling long time
- waterfall swishing sound when cold startup
I used my home gas detector (propane / natural gas / co2) to check the air coming from the rad when I unscrewed the rad cap and it all gushed into the overflow tank. Upon doing this, I got a GAS alarm... so it was propane in the rad and not air... no wonder I could never bleed it out.... propane converter was leaking propane into coolant system. After turning off propane system at tank and re-bleeding system, no more problems. No more gushing sounds under dashboard. Changed propane converter and am running on propane again for last two days - all is gone.
Thought you might like to know.
Thanks for the help!

When your child is diagnosed with epilepsy, education is likely to be one of your first concerns. Many children, especially once their epilepsy is controlled by medicine, are unlikely to need any extra support. But some children will continue to have seizures and need medical or other support. Making sure the school knows about your child's epilepsy will give them the best chance of getting the learning, social and health support they need.
This information covers the ways in which the school should be supporting your child, and the laws behind that.

Last week, the head of Iran's government Mahmoud Ahmadinejad counseled the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) to sell its acquisitions and real estate assets to meet its budgetary and financial needs. This week, Guard commanders responded by saying no. A Majlis representative who used to be a senior military Guards commander attributed the issue to the disagreements between Ahmadinejad and Majlis speaker Ali Larijani and stressed that "IRGC assets have a military Dimension."
Former Guard commander General Mohammad Ismail Kowsari told a weekly newspaper belonging to the ruling Principlists that "It was not clear based on what information Mr. Ahmadinejad has said that the Guards had idle assets that should be relinquished. Even though I have been away from the Guards for the past six or seven years, I doubt the IRGC has any idle assets."
He further said, "Most of IRGC's assets and belongings have a military dimension and it is not as if that we as Majlis representatives have a list of IRHC items and assets," questioning what Ahmadinejad had said.
Speaking to weekly Matn (meaning content), which is close to Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, the former deputy minister of intelligence when Ali Falahian was minister of the interior but who was subsequently removed by Ahmadinejad, Kowsari said Ahmadinejad's suggestion about IRGC's assets was the result of the differences the president had with Majlis speaker Ali Larijani. Pour-Mohammadi is currently the head of the State Inspectorate Organization.
In the interview, Kowsari further said, "At a meeting on the rebuilding of the Khatam Reconstruction base, both Mr. Ahmadinejad and Mr. Larijani were present and the latter asked the IRGC to take action to reinvigorate the economy. IF Mr. Ahmadinejad had anything to say, why did not engage in the conversation then?"
"The IRGC is a revolutionary force and has repeated announced its readiness to help, in the direction of the constitution. This has always been the position of the force. Till now whatever Mr. Ahmadinejad has asked the Guards they have provided him. If he has not been able to take care of something, that has nothing to do with the Guards," he continued.
Kowsari also claimed that when he was in the force, the IRGC had so many shortages that it had no alternative but to engage in some construction activities to meet its needs. "When I was there, there were many shortages," he said.
Kowsari was a senior IRGC commander of the 27th Mohammad Rasoolalah, the deputy commander of the Tehran Sarolah force, the operational commander of the Tehran IRGC Force, the deputy commander of the Sarolah Force, the commander of the security bureau of the General Staff of the armed forces and also the Basij commander of Tehran province. During his tenure, he was normally referred to as Mohammad Kowsari. More recently until now he has been an active member of Majlis's national security and foreign policy committees. News agencies tied to the IRGC refer to him as Ismail Kowsari.
Kowsari's response to Ahmadinejad's calls is the second from the IRGC force. Last week another general Mansour Haghighatpour, also a former commander who is also a member of the national security committee in the Majlis spoke with Bahar newspaper and talked about Ahmadinejad's comments.
As a former member of the Ghods force of the IRGC – its foreign arm – Haghighatpour said, "I do not understand why Mr. Ahmadinejad even engages in this at this time. If he is really anxious that every institution should sell its extra assets, why does he not sell the ministry of roads building? He can sell this building and build two thousand kilometers of roads in villages. If he is really sincere and wants to set a precedent I think that by selling the ministry of roads and the central bank buildings half of the state budget would be met."
Haghighatpour also criticized Ahmadinejad for raising this issue in public. "If such a proposal was to be made to the IRGC it wasn't necessary to announce it in public. He claims he has created a body called 'State Assets' for institutions to sell their surplus assets, so it would be best if he first sold the government's beach villas. Of course all the resorts in the north of Iran and those in the city that belong to the government can also be sold. The ministry of the interior has a palace in the town of Mahmoudabad in the north of Iran. All government ministries have hotels in the city of Mashhad. They can sell their hotels and everybody's problems will be solved."
These remarks about government assets follow Ahmadinejad's comments during the "The Reconstruction Base of the IRGC" seminar last week when he said, in the presence of senior IRGC commanders, "There used to be a long tradition through which all government agencies until recently looked upon the state treasury as theirs source of income and everyone strived to get a larger share of the budget. But since this system had been created by Westerners, they (Westerners) had pinned their hope in it [in the recent confrontation]. But our country is full of resources and these are so vast that if they are utilized properly, the state treasury will be miniscule in comparison." He then continued, "There are many such instances in the Guards and the military. For example, Ghale Morghi or the Dooshan Tapeh air base which I think has about 65 hectares of land within a city can be used for this purpose. And there are other vast lands in various other cities."

Sydney (AFP) June 20, 2011
Airline passengers faced more frustration Tuesday as the Chilean ash cloud returned to Australia, forcing the cancellation of flights to Adelaide, Canberra and Sydney.
The cloud, created by the eruption of the Puyehue volcano high in the Andes more than two weeks ago, has looped the globe and made its way back Down Under to wreak havoc again.
Qantas has suspended services to and from the South Australian capital Adelaide, and will cancel flights to Canberra from midday local time (0200 GMT) and all Sydney routes from 3:00pm (0500 GMT).
Its discount airline Jetstar has also called off Adelaide flights while Tiger Airways grounded its entire fleet, with services around Australia cancelled until at least 2pm.
Virgin suspended all flights to Adelaide and Mildura.
"Volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Puyehue Cordon Caulle volcano in Chile continues to cause flight disruptions to the Qantas network," Qantas said.
"At Qantas safety is our first priority and a number of flights have been cancelled or re-routed to avoid the volcanic ash cloud."
It added that its morning services from Sydney to Bangkok, London, Singapore and Frankfurt would fly, but international flights after 3pm were under review.
Meteorologists said that while the ash had thinned during its travels around the world it was still clearly visible on satellite images and was travelling at an altitude of 8-13 kilometres, generally cruising level for aircraft.
The cloud first entered Australian and New Zealand airspace just over a week ago, causing some airlines to ground all flights to affected areas while others chose to divert their planes under and around the plume.
Ash poses a significant threat to aircraft because once sucked into engines it can be converted into molten glass as a result of the high temperatures and potentially cause an engine to fail.
earlier related report
The Puyehue volcano's activity has been steadily decreasing, allowing people to return to their homes in the Andes mountains, but the huge ash cloud it ejected is still floating over the southern hemisphere.
Qantas, Virgin and Tiger Airways all cancelled some flights to and from Adelaide scheduled for Tuesday after forecasters said the ash would drift over the South Australian capital at that time.
"It will obviously cause disruption, it will obviously prevent aircraft flying at the altitude of the cloud," Andrew Tupper, head of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, said of the plume.
"How they (airlines) choose to cope with that is their decision."
Tupper said the cloud was about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) offshore on Monday but was expected to cross the southeastern coast and affect Adelaide by early the following day. It is also likely to affect Melbourne, he said.
He said while the ash had thinned during its travels around the globe it was still clearly visible on satellite images and was travelling at an altitude of 8-13 kilometres, generally cruising level for aircraft.
"Although much of the ash that came around us last week has dissipated, the leading edge of it... is coming around for another shot," he said.
He added that it was too soon to know whether it would affect the country's busiest airport Sydney, but admitted the cloud would be an "uncomfortably close" distance of about 100 kilometres from the hub.
For now, Adelaide was the focus of the disruption, with Qantas cancelling services to and from the city, and to and from the South Australian town of Port Lincoln, scheduled for between 6:30am and 2:00pm Tuesday. Some Qantas flights leaving Adelaide prior to 6:30am would go ahead, the airline said.
"Qantas will continue to monitor the movement of the ash cloud and assess its impact on flight operations," it said. It did not say how many flights in total would be affected.
Virgin has also suspended all flights in and out of Adelaide on Tuesday, as well as the regional town of Mildura, due to the ash, and said it was watching the situation in Melbourne and Tasmania.
"Our main focus for the near future is looking at Melbourne and Tasmania," a spokesman for the airline said, adding that the chance of the ash affecting Sydney was a lot lower than for airports further south.
Tiger Airways also cancelled eight flights to and from Adelaide for Tuesday.
The ash cloud entered Australian and New Zealand airspace just over a week ago, causing some airlines to ground all flights to affected areas while others chose to divert their planes under and around the plume.
The ash disrupted the travel plans of tens of thousands of people in Australia and New Zealand, cancelling some travel across the Tasman Sea and affecting flights to Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart.
Tupper could not say how long the new ash front would last, but said it would probably linger over any one place for only a day.
Ash poses a significant threat to aircraft because once sucked into engines it can be converted into molten glass as a result of the high temperatures and potentially cause an engine to fail.

Chile lifts evacuation order as volcano quiets down
Santiago (AFP) June 19, 2011
Thousands of evacuated Chileans were allowed to return home Sunday two weeks after the eruption of the Puyehue volcano, which sent a huge ash cloud into the sky and disrupted air travel in the southern hemisphere. "The volcano's activity has been steadily decreasing, which allows us today to lift the evacuation order in the area and permit the 4,270 people who have been evacuated to return t ... read more

EDITORIALS>>Giving away natural gas
Sand and gravel miners pay three times the taxes that producers are charged.
Here is a stunning measure of the power of the gas industry in Arkansas over much of the last century: The men who mine sand and gravel pay three times the taxes to the state that the energy exploration and production companies pay for the gas they sever from the earth. And Arkansas is one of the leading gas states.
The state collected $1.8 million in severance taxes last year from sand and gravel haulers but a paltry $619,000 from the gas companies. The sand and gravel people never carried much clout but the gas industry did, primarily in the personage of Witt and Jack Stephens, the late financiers. Mr. Witt, as he was affectionately known, made it a point of personal privilege that the state would not levy a real tax on one of his activities.
He agreed in 1957 to let Gov. Orval E. Faubus and the legislature raise the tax from two-tenths of a penny per thousand cubic feet of gas to three-tenths of a penny. Faubus was raising the sales tax, which is levied on the little people, and he wanted to say that he was also raising a tax on the privileged. The little tax did not produce enough revenue to make as difference, but it was the principle of the thing.
Gov. Bill Clinton proposed to do the same thing in 1983 when he was raising the sales tax for education, but Mr. Witt drew the line. Three-tenths of a penny was all he was willing to pay for the gas that Stephens Production Co. and the other family gas interests were exporting from the Arkoma Basin. The severance tax bill died in the Senate.
Now Gov. Beebe, who voted for the bill back then as a state senator, wants to try again sometime, maybe in 2009 or 2010. He would use the taxes for highways and bridges since motor-fuel taxes are approaching diminishing returns. Sen. Mary Anne Salmon, D-North Little Rock, is trying to develop a consensus bill for the governor, but there will not be one. Sen. Bob Johnson of Bigelow, the servant of every monied interest in the state, says there will be no severance tax increase he runs the controlling bloc in the Senate because it would discourage the big energy companies from exploring for gas in the Fayetteville shale.
It is a laughable argument. The exploration companies will drill where the gas is, and it is in Arkansas. Any tax that the legislature might levy would not affect the market enough to deter one company a single day.
The Department of Finance and Administration supplied legislators the figures on what Arkansas might reap from a severance tax equal to that of any of the gas-producing states of the region, all of which levy a tax that is based on the wellhead value of the gas.
If Arkansas levied a tax like Texas, it would collect $99.3 million a year instead of $619,000. At Oklahomas rate it would be $92 million, at Mississippis $79 million, at Tennessees $39 million, at Louisianas $11.3 million. A revenue official emphasized that the figures were very conservative.
Those sums would climb rapidly with the development of the Fayetteville formation. Most of the gas is exported to other states, so to the extent the exploration companies pass the tax on to consumers it would be paid by industries in other states to help build our roads. We in Arkansas are paying heavily now to support schools and other services in Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana through their severance taxes on the gas and coal that fuel our electricity generators.
But the comparison is not fair, a few northwest Arkansas lawmakers complained, because Texas does not levy income taxes on the gas companies there. Oh, but it does. Its called a corporate franchise tax and it is based on a companys federally reported net income and capital.
It produces $2 billion a year in state revenues (nine out of 10 Texas companies have developed loopholes to escape filing) and it will produce far more than that in the future because the legislature and the states conservative governor overhauled the tax effective next year to produce several times the revenue to support school reform and offset a reduction in property taxes. It is being called the biggest tax increase in Texas history.
Texas politicians, as you know, are famous for catering to corporate interests, particularly energy companies. They cant hold a candle to Arkansas.

Scientists recreate virus that killed millions
Oct. 5, 2005
Special to World Science
Scientists say they have made a virus identical, in most key respects, to the Spanish flu virus that killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million people in 1918.
The purpose of the recreation, the researchers said, is to protect humanity from another world outbreak, which may be imminent because the virus is related to bird flu viruses that have been killing growing numbers of birds and some humans.
"This will advance our ability to prepare vaccines" and effective drugs in case of an outbreak, said
Jeffery Taubenberger, chairman of the molecular pathology department of the Armed forces Institute of Pathology in Rockville,
Md. He is the lead author of a paper on the virus to appear in the Oct. 6 issue of the research journal
Researchers have warned that existing bird flu viruses may be on the verge of leaping to humans and killing millions of people. This seems to be exactly how the 1918 pandemic started, researchers involved in the reconstruction
project say.
The newly minted virus is being held under close surveillance for testing at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Ga., U.S. health authorities said in a conference Tuesday.
But Taubenberger acknowledged terrorists could theoretically use information from the project to construct the virus themselves, since researchers published the recreated virus's genetic sequence in a public database. If someone else wants to reconstruct it now, "the technology is available,"
Taubenberger said in a Nature news article.
The researchers and CDC officials said they simply accepted this risk because the potential benefits are much greater. If the virus escaped into the population today it's "unlikely" to cause a global pandemic, said CDC Director Julie Gerberding, because most people have some built-in immunity to it from exposure to related viruses. Also, effective vaccines and drugs exist. Neither was the case in 1918, she said.
Nonetheless, in testing, the reconstructed virus has turned out to be deadlier to mice than ordinary flu viruses, researchers reported in a separate paper published in the Oct. 7 issue of the research journal Science. This suggests "that this property of the 1918 virus has been recovered in the published sequence," wrote the journal's editors in an editorial.
Researchers said they reconstructed the virus by drawing fragments of it from the lungs of a woman who died in the 1918 outbreak, and was buried in the frozen ground of Alaska.
Viruses are packets of genetic material that inserts itself into living cells, hijacking their genome to turn it into machinery that produces more copies of the virus.
The CDC's Terrence Tumpey led a team of researchers that reconstructed a live virus containing all eight of the genes that the 1918 virus contained, which they described in the Science paper.
In addition to genes, the 1918 virus also contained some genetic material that doesn't consist of actual genes. Tumpey said his team wasn't able to reproduce this part of the virus exactly, so they instead used similar material from a closely related virus to complete the reconstruction.
By reconstructing the virus, researchers say they have now discovered at least part of what made it lethal, thus providing essential information for influenza drug and vaccine research.
The Spanish flu virus is more closely related to bird flu viruses than other human flu viruses, according to researchers.
Therapies against a new flu strain would need to disarm the parts of the virus that do the most damage to the body,
Taubenberger said. By studying the reconstructed 1918 virus closely, researchers said they can determine which parts these are.
Tumpey and Taubenberger said their findings may also help researchers assess the potential virulence of future flu strains as they emerge.
The research is beginning to reveal how the 1918 virus changed from its bird form to a human form,
Taubenberger explained. Based on this information, researchers can monitor whether these same changes are occurring in existing bird flu viruses. Indeed, they are starting to, he said, although several more changes would probably have to take place before serious human outbreaks can occur.
"We felt we had to recreate the virus and run these experiments to understand the biological properties that made the 1918 virus so exceptionally deadly. We wanted to identify the specific genes responsible for its virulence, with the hope of designing antivirals or other interventions that would work against virulent pandemic or epidemic influenza viruses," said Tumpey.
Gerberding said U.S. health authorities had consulted extensively before the publication, and agreed with scientists that the benefits of the project outweighed the risks.
The publication of the sequence will let "the best and the brightest among the scientific community… join the team" of researchers studying the virus, said Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, at the conference. Ultimately this will lead to greater protection of the public, he added.
To reconstruct the 1918 virus from the separate fragments of it they had recovered, the researchers said they used an approach called "reverse genetics." This involves transferring combinations of he viral genes into living cells, where they combine on their own to form a full virus.
The researchers also produced variations of the virus for comparison, with certain Spanish flu genes replaced by the corresponding genes from other flu viruses. Then they studied the viruses' effects in mice, chick embryos and human lung cells and identified the constellation of genes that was responsible for the Spanish flu virus' extreme virulence.
One gene associated with high virulence was the HA gene. This gene creates a protein molecule that goes on the surface of the virus and helps it attach to cells properly so it can infect them. This gene seemed to be responsible for much of the severe lung damage reported in people infected with the Spanish flu, according to the authors of the Science paper.
Three genes that code for the production of viral "polymerase"—enzymes that form the virus' basic replication machinery—were also found to be important for high virulence, the authors said.
"Given that HA is responsible for so much pathology in the lung, if we could identify the mechanism for how that happens and then block it, perhaps it would be useful for antiviral development. With the identification of the polymerase genes contributing to disease, that represents another set of genes that might also be a good target," Tumpey said.
Although more research needs to be done on antivirals and vaccines for a future flu pandemic, Tumpey noted some encouraging signs. The FDA-approved flu antiviral drugs, oseltamivir and amantadine, have been shown to be effective against viruses carrying certain genes from the Spanish flu virus. And, vaccines containing the Spanish flu HA gene, as well as another gene from this virus, were protective in mice, he added.
Gerberding said the virus is being held under a security regime known as Biosafety Level 3, the second most stringent level of security under CDC guidelines. The first, Level 4, is reserved for pathogens "for which there is no vaccine and no antiviral treatment," she said.
Level 3 involves filtering the exhaust air from the laboratory, requiring self-contained breathing apparatuses for lab workers to avoid having them pick up the virus, and showering before leaving the facility, she added. "It is a very, very high level of containment."

HI, can anyone tell me the best way to dual boot XP and Vista 64?
Can't run so many games so have decided to try dual boot.
Current OS is Vista 64 Ultimate
Well, your best bet really is to uninstall vista then partition your drive, so you have two partitions. install xp on one and completely finish installing xp with all the latest drivers and updates, then with the other partition you can install vista and do the same with updates and drivers.
Its best to do it this way as vista will take the boot manager, just remeber to wait for the boot loader screen to pop up when booting up, so you can chosses what installation you wish to use.
The main reason for this is because xp is older, its alway best practice, with dual booting, to put the latest os on top of the old one, you can do this vise-versa, but it may bugger up your installation's.
Once you have installed all, google BCDedit, download that and install, as this will tell the computer you two os's and then you can choose between them, with out it, the pc will just boot into vista all the time and uignore xp.
Hope this helps
Edit: install BCDedit under vista, little tip aswell, when you install bcdedit under vista, download the tweaker and install that, that way, if you ever forget to choose xp and it boots into vista, you can then choose xp from the menu that will be installed next to your clock, this will allow you to choose xp and it the pc will restart into xp and you wont have to wait for the bootloader screen as it will automaticallly choose xp as it boots. I do believe doing all what i said under xp (install bcdedit under xp and install the tweaker again, this way you can chop and change between with ease.
If this helps, please tip those little ol' scales.

Although two of the most quoted reasons for moving infrastructure into the cloud are scalability and elasticity, another reason organizations might consider the cloud is to avoid the painfully expensive costs of building and maintaining a highly available data center. More typically, to get higher control and more customization, organizations choose to house their infrastructures in a third-party data center or colocation center that offers better protection than the company could afford on its own.
Choosing the right colo for your needs is not as straightforward as looking one up in the Yellow Pages. There are a wide array of facilities geared toward different types of users, as well as a similarly wide array of levels of redundancy and scalability. And many of the best colocation centers tend to fly under the radar for security reasons -- chances are you've driven past them without even knowing they were there.
Let me help you know how to find a good facility and what to look for when you visit to help you make the right decision.
The kinds of businesses that typically offer colocation space typically boil down to three categories:

Generic Name: rotigotine (roe-TIG-oh-teen)
Brand Name: Neupro
Neupro is used for:
Treating Parkinson disease. It is also used for the treatment of moderate to severe restless legs syndrome (RLS).
Neupro is a dopamine agonist. Exactly how it works is not known. It is thought to work in certain areas of the brain to reduce the symptoms (eg, uncontrolled muscle movements) of RLS and the early stages of Parkinson disease.
Do NOT use Neupro if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Neupro
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Neupro:
Some medical conditions may interact with Neupro. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have blood vessel problems, high or low blood pressure, liver problems, kidney problems, asthma or other lung or breathing problems, fluid retention or swelling, mental or mood problems (eg, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia), drowsiness, unexpected or unpredictable sleepiness or periods of sleep, or a sleep disorder (eg, daytime sleepiness)
- if you have or have had heart problems (eg, heart failure)
- if you feel dizzy, nauseated, sweaty, or faint when you stand up
- if you drink alcohol or have had a personal or family history of addiction (eg, gambling, alcohol)
- if you are scheduled to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat (cardioversion)
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Neupro. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Benzodiazepines (eg, diazepam), medicines for mental or mood problems (eg, antidepressants, antipsychotics), or medicines for sleep (eg, zolpidem) because the risk of severe drowsiness may be increased
- Dopamine antagonists, such as phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) or metoclopramide because they may decrease Neupro's effectiveness
- Levodopa because the risk of its side effects may be increased by Neupro
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Neupro may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Neupro:
Use Neupro as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- An extra patient leaflet is available with Neupro. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
- Apply Neupro only to clean, dry, intact skin on the front of the stomach, thigh, hip, side of the body between the ribs and hip, shoulder, or upper arm as directed by your doctor or on the package labeling.
- Do not apply Neupro to hairy, oily, red, irritated, or damaged skin or where it will be rubbed by tight clothing or under a waistband. Do not apply to skin folds. If you must apply Neupro to a hairy area of skin, shave the hair from the area at least 3 days before you apply Neupro to that area.
- Do not apply creams, lotions, ointments, oils, or powders to the skin where the patch will be applied. Never cut or tear the patch.
- To use Neupro, gently wash the application site with soap and warm water. Rinse until all soap is removed. Dry the area with a clean, dry towel.
- Remove the patch from its sealed pouch and peel away one side of the protective liner. Apply the sticky side of the patch to the skin immediately after opening the pouch. Peel away the rest of the liner so that the patch lies flat against the skin. There should be no bumps or folds in the patch. Press the patch against your skin firmly with the palm of your hand for 30 seconds to make sure there is good contact with the skin, especially around the edges.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying Neupro. Do not touch your eyes until after you have washed your hands.
- After 24 hours, remove the used patch and fold it in half with the sticky sides together. Discard out of the reach of children and away from pets. Wash the area with mild soap and warm water to remove any adhesive remaining on the skin. Baby or mineral oil may also be used to remove adhesive. Do not use alcohol or nail polish remover to remove adhesive. Apply a new patch to a different area of skin. Use a new application site each time you apply a new patch. Do not apply a patch to the same area of skin within 14 days.
- You may bathe, shower, or swim while wearing your patch.
- Do not suddenly stop using Neupro without checking with your doctor. You may have an increased risk of side effects (eg, fever; confusion; muscle stiffness, pain, or weakness; kidney problems). If you need to stop Neupro, your doctor should gradually lower your dose.
- Apply Neupro 1 time each day at about the same time to get the most benefit from it.
- Continue to use Neupro even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If the edges of your patch lift, you may tape them down with bandaging tape. If your patch falls off, apply a new patch for the rest of the day.
- If you miss a dose of Neupro or forget to change your patch, remove the old patch and apply a new patch to a different area of skin. Then change the patch according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not wear 2 patches at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Neupro.
Important safety information:
- Neupro may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Neupro with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Check with your doctor before you drink alcohol or use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using Neupro; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.
- Some people who use Neupro may experience sudden onset of severe drowsiness or may even fall asleep during normal daily activities (eg, eating, talking, driving). This could occur without warning. Some of these events have been reported as late as one year after Neupro was started. If this happens, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other possibly unsafe tasks while you use Neupro. Tell your doctor right away.
- Do not use more than the recommended dose or stop using Neupro without checking with your doctor.
- Some people have experienced new, unusual, or increased urges (eg, gambling, sexual urges) while using Neupro or other medicines used to treat Parkinson disease. Tell your doctor right away if you notice such effects.
- Neupro may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- Do not apply heating pads, electric blankets, or other such sources of heat to the area where you apply Neupro. Avoid other sources of heat such as heat lamps; saunas; hot tubs; heated waterbeds; long, hot baths; or prolonged, direct exposure to sunlight while using Neupro. Heat may increase the amount of Neupro released into your skin.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Neupro before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Patients with Parkinson disease may have an increased risk of developing a certain type of skin cancer (melanoma). It is not known if Neupro also increases the risk of melanoma. You may need to have skin exams while you are using Neupro. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- In patients with RLS, Neupro may cause RLS symptoms to come back or become worse or start earlier in the day. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- This product contains a sulfite (sodium metabisulfite). Sulfites may cause an allergic reaction in some patients (eg, asthma patients). If you ever have had an allergic reaction to sulfites, contact your doctor.
- Remove Neupro from the skin before you have certain medical tests or treatments (eg, MRI, cardioversion). It may become hot and cause burns if left on the skin during such procedures.
- If you have a skin rash or irritation from the patch, avoid direct sunlight on the area until the skin heals. Exposure to sunlight could lead to skin color changes.
- Use Neupro with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially hallucinations or other mental or mood problems.
- Neupro should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 18 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Neupro while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. Neupro may decrease milk production. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Neupro, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of Neupro:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Constipation; decreased appetite; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; headache; increased sweating; joint pain; minor redness, swelling, or itching at the application site; nausea; symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (eg, cough, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat); tiredness; trouble sleeping; vomiting; weakness.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); abnormal dreams; burning, numbness, or tingling; chest pain; confusion; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; hallucinations; loss of coordination; new or worsening mental or mood problems (eg, agitation, depression, paranoia); new or worsening uncontrolled, sudden movements of arms or legs; persistent irritation, itchiness, redness, or swelling at the application site; persistent trouble sleeping; ringing in the ears; severe or persistent dizziness, light-headedness, or headache; shortness of breath; sudden, severe drowsiness or falling asleep during normal daily activities; sudden, unexplained weight gain; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet; tremors; unusual skin growths or changes in the appearance of a mole; vision changes.

Big South Network Re-launched
The Big South Conference officially re-launched www.BigSouthSports.com this week, which now fully integrates the conference website and the Big South Network (BSN) as part of a joint venture between the conference office and Webstream Sports. In addition, the BSN -- the conference's online video channel presented by corporate partner State Farm, is no longer a subscription service and all live and on-demand events can be viewed for free.
The dynamic redesign of the site and video service offers all visitors a "one size fits all" experience, one that can be seen through the web browsers of phones, tablets, laptops or desktops that adapt to best fit the desired display -- all major platforms are supported. In addition to the new look, the site features simpler navigation as well as an instant click to launch the Big South Network's free live and on-demand offerings of the more than 900 events the Big South Conference and its member institutions have produced annually.
More than 30 Liberty home events are slated to be broadcasted on the Big South Network this fall, highlighted by six football games and field hockey's NorPac Tournament (Nov. 7-9). The first Liberty event to be aired on the BSN this fall will be the field hockey team's home opener against Saint Joseph's on Aug. 30.
Webstream Sports, in conjunction with Indianapolis-based TGFI, hosts the fully integrated website and digital network. In addition, Webstream Sports will produce a minimum of 50 Big South events covering every conference team sport -- football, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, softball, baseball and women's lacrosse -- exclusively for ESPN3 in high-definition.
Viewership for the Big South Network increased annually under the previous subscription model, and now with free access for all video products, the conference expects immediate growth.
"The Big South Conference has been a leader in the digital space ever since the inception of the Big South Network in 2005," said Big South Commissioner Kyle B. Kallander. "This next generation of the BSN keeps us at the forefront in the industry in providing quality programming anytime and everywhere. We are very excited to air the 900+ annual live events that showcase our talented student-athletes on the BSN for free and on any device. We are also looking forward to our long-term partnership with WebStream Sports and TGFI, two recognized leaders in the digital industry."

Gravatar problems with eximius 2.2
Hey, its not a question, its a solution.
WordPress was generating bad links to gravatar images and it was able to show only pictures of registered emails at gravatar. No images for unregistered emails – no Identicon, no Wavatar, no even a "default" image – just empty ugly frame in place when image should be.
Link to gravatar images contained ?amp;d=%3Cpath_to_url%3E – which is definitely bugged.
To solve this, go to themes/eximius/ open functions.php and search for
<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='60',$default='<path_to_url>' ); ?>
Replace it with
<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='60' ); ?>
Now links are generating correctly and all gravatars shows ok.
Above problems started after upgrading to 2.2, so previous versions (don't remember which i have used) should be bug free.
- The topic 'Gravatar problems with eximius 2.2' is closed to new replies.
