By Jill Lawrence, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Democratic candidates who oppose abortion, gun control and gay rights have some unusual fans this year: liberal online activists desperate for their party to win control of Congress.
Putting aside their own preferences, the Internet activists are promoting and raising money for moderates in swing districts across the country. Many of the candidates have military, business or law enforcement backgrounds. Some, such as Virginia Senate candidate Jim Webb and House hopeful Eric Massa of New York, are former Republicans.
As of Tuesday, online activists had contributed some $826,000 to Webb, a former Navy secretary, via ActBlue.com, a clearinghouse that has raised $16 million for scores of Democrats. Massa had $377,000.
"There is not a single issue that takes precedent to the Democrats winning back a majority in the U.S. Senate this year," Jerome Armstrong, founder of MyDD.com, wrote last week.
President Bush's unpopularity, the Iraq war and congressional scandals are making it easier than usual for Democrats to bury their differences for now. The moderate makeup of contested states and congressional districts also helps.
"There's a sense of reality here," says Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., chairman of the centrist, 47-member New Democratic Coalition in the House. She says 30 prominent House challengers are potential members of the group, which favors free trade, strong security and high-tech development.
The Republican counterpart to ActBlue.com is Rightroots.com, a small operation that has raised $274,000 for 21 House and Senate hopefuls. Most are conservatives tagging their opponents as liberals. Three moderates — Senate candidates Tom Kean of New Jersey and Michael Steele of Maryland and House hopeful Ray Meier of New York — had collected nearly $60,000 from Rightroots.com as of Tuesday. Moderate Northeastern incumbents in tight races are not on the group's list of recipients.
GOP's 'tremendous effort'
Congressional Republicans have proposed bans on gay marriage, flag-burning, human cloning and Internet gambling that could energize conservatives. Republicans say they have not abandoned the center. The GOP is making "a tremendous effort" to help endangered House and Senate moderates in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island, strategist Frank Luntz says.
Former GOP chairman Ed Gillespie says "so-called centrist Democrats," if they win, will end up dragged to the left under pressure from liberal Democrats such as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She is in line to be speaker if Democrats take control.
Many Democratic bloggers are liberals who don't hesitate to criticize their party. Arianna Huffington and others protested, for instance, when Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine was chosen to respond to Bush's State of the Union Speech. They said he was too conservative.
This week, bloggers reacted angrily when Tauscher told two newspapers Democrats should not run "over the left cliff" if they win a House majority. Self-described progressive Chris Bowers wrote on MyDD.com that he felt "stabbed in the back." He later added that "now that I have had the chance to vent, I'd like to ... return to actually trying to win the elections."
The results of a spring survey of 1,936 members of MoveOn.org, the liberal online activist group suggest such pragmatism is widespread. Nearly eight in 10 said Democrats should run moderates in conservative and swing districts rather than "truly progressive or liberal candidates" who have little chance of winning.
Democratic leaders aggressively courted moderates this year. Rep. Harold Ford of Tennessee and Pennsylvania Treasurer Bob Casey, both social conservatives, ran unopposed in Senate primaries after opponents were pressured to drop out. Senate leaders publicly backed Webb, a former Navy secretary for Ronald Reagan, in the Virginia primary. They gave backstage help to Montana Senate president Jon Tester, a wheat farmer and custom butcher, in his primary.
Casey and Tester are leading GOP Sens. Rick Santorum and Conrad Burns, respectively. Ford and Webb are in tight races against Republican Bob Corker and Sen. George Allen.
Blog power in Connecticut
The purest test of blog power this year has been in Connecticut. Senior Democrats backed Sen. Joe Lieberman, a centrist and Iraq war booster, but online activists helped power anti-war Ned Lamont to a primary win. Lieberman is running as an independent and is ahead in polls, despite a recent survey that showed 60% of Connecticut voters oppose the war.
Some observers say Lamont, a politically inexperienced businessman, failed to capitalize on the war's unpopularity. "The distinction between himself and Lieberman became blurred," says Gary Rose, a political scientist at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn.
Bloggers, however, point to the party's treatment of Lamont and the Democrats who nominated him. "Total abandonment," Matt Stoller said on MyDD.com.

Are there a limit to how many Fraxel Restore one can perform with 4 weeks in between?
Doctor Answers 2
Fraxel and other devices
To answer your question, yes, Fraxel can improve acne scars, however there are many other devices out there that are better. The best approach to acne scarring is to find a solution or method, and not a device. See the video below as I explain why I do not like Fraxel for acne scars, but like it for other skin related issues.
All the best, DR Davin Lim.

AbstractSandia Systems, Inc. will apply novel processing techniques to demonstrate an improved fabrication process for SiC optical elements. We will combine the CVD of SiC replication process and ion beam figuring process to demonstrate fabrication of high quality optical elements. The CVD SiC would have no subsurface damage layer, and this would alleviate many of the materials problems associated with processing the material. Demonstration of this proposed integrated processing arrangement would provide a methodology to rapidly fabricate complex SiC elements which have improved optical properties, yet at a significantly reduced cost.

text: 5. Francesca's Foolishness Listen up Dumbest fans, because here's a little cautionary tale about one really big twit. Last Friday, shares of women's specialty retailer Francesca's ( FRAN) inexplicably sold off late in the trading day, falling more than 15% at one point. Rumors abounded at the time that Francesca's, which went public last July, was going to sell additional shares in a secondary offering and thereby dilute the company's stock. Another gaggle of gossipers attributed the company's nosedive to pre-lock-up selling. Not until this past Monday was it revealed that the real cause of the stock's shellacking was not a potential secondary offering but a primary idiot in the form of Gene Morphis, the company's chief financial officer, who was fired over the weekend for improperly communicating company information through social media. Yep, good old Morph apparently got canned for tweeting too many non-public details about the company under the handle "theoldcfo." Of course, his nom de Twitter is even more apropos now that Francesca's has named a new CFO in Cynthia Thomassee, who hopefully has learned the valuable lesson that certain thoughts -- like, say, ones that the Securities and Exchange Commission may care about -- are better left unblogged. Here, for example, is one of Morph's greatest hits. On March 7, he tweeted, "Board meeting. Good numbers=Happy Board." Morph wasn't kidding. Not even a week later Francesca's shareholders were certainly cheery, driving up the stock after the company beat Wall Street's fourth-quarter estimates by a hefty 3 cents and raised its first-quarter 2012 guidance. In other words, had some savvy investor been following Morph's blog they could have profited handsomely from his inability to control his opposable thumbs. Perhaps most stupidly, not to mention ironically considering their diligence led to his firing, a quick review of Morph's Tweets shows that he was well aware of his board's attention to detail. Back on Nov. 30, he posted, "Survived another audit committee meeting. Why couldn't I get one of those lazy audit committees I read about?". And then on December 9, he presciently told his followers: "Board meeting in NYC. See if I get to keep my job another ninety days." Look on the bright side Morph. At least you beat your tweet.

Oram, who was sidelined for most of 2005 with a major back problem, flew home at the weekend after experiencing stiffness while bowling in the first Test victory against the hosts.
"It is reassuring to know that it is only a soft tissue injury," he said in a statement.
"I have had some major lower-back problems over my career and while you are always hopeful that the latest problem is not a pointer to something more serious, you can never be certain."
Oram will head to the gym on Wednesday to begin his rehabilitation but it is not yet clear when he will be able to play again.
New Zealand will be hoping he can make a speedy return with Tests against Australia and the West Indies coming up before the end of the year.
"I will be reassessed in a week's time by the medical staff and we should be able to get a better indicator then of when I am likely to get back to the bowling crease," Oram said.

Maine Black Bears (1-0, 0-0 American East)
Maryland Terrapins (2-0, 0-0 ACC)
Sun, Nov. 14
2 p.m. Comcast Center, College Park, Maryland
Leading Scorers
Black Bears: Gerald McLemore (11 ppg), Troy Barnies (16 ppg), Raheem Singleton (15 ppg)
Terps: Jordan Williams (21.5 ppg), Cliff Tucker (15.5 ppg), Sean Mosley (12 ppg)
Scouting Report
The Black Bears return four starters from their 2009-2010 team that many experts predict should finish first in the American East Conference, which would translate into their first NCAA Tournament bid in school history.
The returnees are led by their 6-3 junior guard Gerald McLemore who averaged over 14 points last season en route to earning All-American East First Team honors. McLemores 102 three-pointers made were the second most in the nation.
Maines supporting cast includes senior forward-center Sean McNally, who averaged 10 points and seven rebounds a game as their primary force on the interior. Sophomore forward Murphy Burnatowski enters his second season after being named to the All-America East Rookie Team, and senior forward Troy Barnies is coming off a game against Utah Valley state where he led the team with 16 points.
The Black Bears sported the 19th-best defense in 2009, allowing opponents to shoot 39.5 percent from the field.
Their starters average 6-5 in height, compared to Terrapins who average 6-6. Aside from Jordan Williams, Maine can match up with the guards and forwards in terms of size.
After one game, the Black Bears rank 38th in the nation in field goal percentage. They shot .520 against Utah Valley State in a 71-66 OT win Friday night.
In their overtime victory, Maine had just eight assists; in contrast, the team turned the ball over 12 times, including five from their starting guards. They shot a mere 14.3 percent from long-range and were outrebounded.
2009 Season
The toughest test of 2009 for Maine was a contest against Big East power Syracuse, in which they fell to Orange in convincing fashion.
The Black Bears averaged 64 points per game, shot .407 from the field and made about a third of their three-pointers. They averaged 36 boards per game, less than one more than their opponents. They were also shaky in terms of ball control; they owned .9 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Matching up with the Terps
Jordan Williams will be the tallest player on the court Sunday, so establishing the offense through him once again with favor the Terrapins. Williams is coming off a career-best 26 points against the College of Charleston, and is averaging the third-most points per game in the conference early on.
Marylands 10 steals per game should favor the team too, as the Black Bears are turnover-prone. Conversely, the Terps have turned the ball more often than any other team in the ACC in their first two games, which favors Ted Woodwards defensive team.
Keys to the Game
Improve free throw percentage – Maryland has collectively shot .644 from the free-throw stripe, compared to 2009 when the team shot 72 percent.
The Terps shot 29 percent from distance against the Cougars, and allowed Andrew Goudelock to nail down five threes. Shooting from and defending the perimeter needs to improve.
Sean Mosley and Dino Gregory are coming off out-of-character games. Mosley had one bucket versus the Cougars, while Gregory was held scoreless due to foul trouble.
PeShon Howards heroics with 4.6 seconds remaining is encouraging, but the Terps will cannot rely on the freshman to do it all at point guard. Look for more of Adrian Bowie (nine points, three assists) and Terrell Stoglin (two points, two assists) to see action to allow Howard to become a scoring threat (14 points, four assists).

Darkness Shall Rise
Rachel, a rookie cop, is about to begin her first night shift in a neglected police station in a Scottish, backwater town. The kind of place where the tide has gone out and stranded a motley bunch of the aimless, the forgotten, the bitter-and-twisted who all think that, really, they deserve to be somewhere else. They all think they're there by accident and that, with a little luck, life is going to get better. Wrong, on both counts. Six is about to arrive - and All Hell Will Break Loose!

South African motorists need to learn personal accountability and regard for the rules when on the roads.
Annual statistics show that during the Easter weekends, traffic volumes peak and road users are more susceptible to crashes and vehicle damage, and it is during such periods that everyone needs to exercise the utmost caution.
The Automobile Association (AA) says, however, that general motorist behaviour during the rest of the year leaves much to be desired and that lack of accountability is fast becoming a contributor to the increasing numbers of crashes � especially the fatal ones.
The AA, says that the lack of personal accountability on South African roads is further manifested by the blatant disregard for the rules of the road and dismissive behaviour. �Looking around, it�s easy to see what is happening on our roads � the construction and revamping of freeways requires that we follow the signs and do as we are told. With a widespread lack of understanding and tolerance, most drivers choose to ignore road signs and dismiss them when it suits them.�
The AA also adds that personal accountability is about choosing to get into your car and making a decision to be a fair, patient and pleasant motorist. �You cannot adapt the rules according to what is momentarily favourable for you or your time; and you cannot continue being reckless just because you manage to get away with it. Bad decisions lead to even worse consequences.�
The AA urges motorists to begin practising personal accountability � not only during holiday periods but every day too. While waiting for Government and the Department of Transport to implement stricter laws and more stringent punishment for traffic offenders, South Africans have to do their part and practice responsibility every day, take responsibility for their actions and do the right thing.

I have a used cisco pix 501 firewall and want to setup for my home network for my R n D. I have a high speed internet modem connected to netgear Wireless router.
My network is a basic network . From Wireless router I am connected to one of its port to pix port saying 0. I tried https://192.168.1.1/startup.html but I did not get any answer. I am not able to connect to router.
I do not have password of the router or any information/ not even the version.
How should I go ahead? I read few cisco materials online but nothing really helped to gain access or I am doing something wrong. I came across a discussion of cisco on spiceworks (through google)and though the discussions may help.
Any help is appreciated.

Hope this helps!

How do I find my pix version??
Sep 1, 2009 at 7:32 UTC
During boot you will see it. Just make sure your console cable is plugged in and your terminal session is active before you startup your pixie.
Sep 1, 2009 at 9:09 UTC
You can also type show version at the CLI if you telnet or ssh in.
Sep 1, 2009 at 12:24 UTC
This is my progress :
Chnaged my netgear access ip. I tried connecting using one of the 4 ports and discovered that px ip was 169.254.239.144 . I plugged in the same in my lapto tcp/ip and laptop connected to it. I tried to connect to internet but it did not work. Ironically when I typed the above ip address, spiceworks desktop opened up but very slowly.
I tried connecting to terminal but my laptop port needs a serial to usb convertor. I will be buying in few hours.
QUESTION : Once I connect the terminal you are saying that I must see a new window of pix ? I am sure its a silly question but I want to follow your directions without making mistakes.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

As part of the annual recognition of World AIDS Day, the Harm Reduction Services Branch of the Hawai`i Department of Health gives the Suzanne Richmond-Crum award to an individual in Hawaii "for outstanding contribution in providing HIV/AIDS services." This award is dedicated to the memory of Suzanne Richmond-Crum, the former Director of the Hawaii Seropositivity and Medical Management Program (HSPAMM), an HIV/AIDS medical care program of the STD/AIDS Prevention Branch. Suzanne passed away in August 2004 after serving as Director of HSPAMM for more than ten years. This award was established in memory of the competence and compassion Suzanne demonstrated in her HIV/AIDS work.
The 2016 Suzanne Richmond-Crum Award Winner is…Charles "Chuck" Lyden
Chuck started his work in HIV in Hawaii in 1990, when he joined the Board of Directors of Pacific Care, a local HIV organization, where he served until 1998. In 2001, Chuck joined the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii at Manoa as an Instructor with the AIDS Education Project (AEP), where he continued until his retirement in 2015. In 2004, Chuck became the Executive Director of the AIDS Community Care Team (ACCT), which coordinated the Ryan White Title II (now called Part B) funding through Hawaii which he continued until 2014. While on paper Chuck worked with HIV/AIDS in Hawaii for 25 years, he was also involved in HIV work less formally prior to 1990, and committed his life to fighting HIV, Parkinson's disease and other health issues affecting our Kupuna with his focus and work in Gerontology.
One of the most unique aspects to Chuck's work in HIV is that he supported those who were at risk for or living with HIV. He took care of the caretakers, and provided education, training, and support to those who were working hard every day to save lives in the HIV epidemic. Chuck realized the importance of nurturing and supporting the frontline workers, especially case managers and physicians, and he always took the time to respond to those who needed his support. As part of his work with the AEP, he provided educational and social opportunities for HIV healthcare providers to get together and learn how to best serve their patients. Chuck did the same for HIV case managers for years – he brought trainings, education and self-care to support their work. He developed trainings, identified relevant speakers and worked with case managers to make sure the education was suited for them and reflected their needs.
Through his work with ACCT, Chuck supported the HIV planning group for HIV prevention planning, as well as Hawaii CARES and the HIV care planning group. He also helped facilitate the integration of these two planning bodies to support overall integration of HIV services in the State. Through ACCT, he also helped the Hawaii Dept. of Health implement Ryan White Care Act. He ensured that information from DOH was shared with the community and visa-versa. In essence, he was "da coconut wireless" for the HIV community and he seemed to know all when it came to HIV in Hawaii.

Stephen Hawking: Aliens may exist but contact would hurt humans
April 26, 2010 by USA Post
Stephen Hawking: Aliens may exist but contact would hurt: USsPost.com , A British scientist who named by Stephen Hawking has warned humans about contacting to aliens , That Humankind is not ready to face the aliens at this stage and results can be very devastating, Originally posted on yahoo news (Sun Apr 25 2010).
LONDON (AFP) – Aliens may exist but mankind should avoid contact with them as the consequences could be devastating, British scientist Stephen Hawking warned Sunday.
"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," said the astrophysicist in a new television series, according to British media reports.
The programmes depict an imagined universe featuring alien life forms in huge spaceships on the hunt for resources after draining their own planet dry.
"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach," warned Hawking.
The doomsday scenario is suggested in the series "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking" on the Discovery Channel, which began airing in the United States on Sunday.
On the probability of alien life existing, he says: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
"The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."
Glowing squid-like creatures, herds of herbivores that can hang onto a cliff face and bright yellow predators that kill their prey with stinging tails are among the creatures that stalk the scientist's fantastical cosmos.
Mankind has already made a number of attempts to contact extraterrestrial civilisations.
In 2008, American space agency NASA beamed the Beatles song "Across the Universe" into deep space to send a message of peace to any alien that happens to be in the region of Polaris — also known as the North Star — in 2439.
But the history of humanity's efforts to contact aliens stretches back some years.
The US probes Pioneer 10 and 11 were launched in 1972 and 1973 bearing plaques of a nkd man and woman and symbols seeking to convey the positions of the Earth and the Sun.
Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977, each carry a gold-plated copper phonogram disk with recordings of sounds and images on Earth.

Chris Eagles and Carlos Tevez did the damage for the English and European champions in a friendly against FA Cup winners Portsmouth in Nigeria.
With both sides in action 24 hours beforehand, there was little surprise that Sir Alex Ferguson and Harry Redknapp made wholesale changes.
Only Tomasz Kuszczak, Michael Carrick and Nemanja Vidic kept their places for United, with Wayne Rooney giving way to a dead leg and Rio Ferdinand returning home to be with his pregnant partner.
Portsmouth opened with a stronger line-up, but Redknapp was forced to make changes before half-time as Noe Paramot and John Utaka were forced off. The twin setback did not help Pompey find rhythm in their game, and they were second-best for most of the match.
There were a few glimpses of an emerging partnership between £11?million new boy Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe, but with Vidic and Jonny Evans performing well at the back, Portsmouth's chances were limited.
The same could not be said for United, who were unfortunate not to be in front after just six minutes. Fraizer Campbell's pace seemed to catch out the Portsmouth defence and Glen Johnson clattered into the United striker to concede a needless penalty. Tevez's second attempt, after the referee ordered it be retaken due to encroachment by Eagles, came crashing back off the bar.
Eagles must be running out of chances to prove himself at Old Trafford, so he would no doubt have been relieved to get his name on the scoresheet just after half-time. The goal was somewhat scrappy, Portsmouth failing to make a routine clearance inside their penalty area. Eagles, though, finished in clinical fashion, the undoubted high point of a 78-minute outing for the 22-year-old.
Eagles was soon to be upstaged by Tevez, keen to atone for his penalty miss. He did so spectacularly, surging into the box before unleashing a thunderous shot that gave David James no chance. His display, despite a booking for a blatant hack at Papa Bouba Diop, left little doubt his talent is worth the £33?million deal United are believed to be putting together to gain full ownership of the player.
Defoe halved the deficit in the final minute but United, for whom captain Gary Neville came through the full 90 minutes, looked comfortable throughout the final game of their four-match tour of Africa. Manchester United (0) 2 Portsmouth (0) 1

Now 50 and Wanting to Bring Sexy Back
I'll be 50 years old in 5 months and want to feel completely sexy again.

Published: January 8, 1981
HAMPTON FALLS, N.H., Jan. 7— Former Gov. Wesley Powell, who mounted 12 political campaigns over four decades in New Hampshire, died last night at his home. He was 65 years old.
Dr. Charles Bailey said that Mr. Powell had died of natural causes. Mr. Powell's health was poor since a heart attack in March 1962 in his second term as Governor. In 1973 he was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage.
''He was an outspoken and forthright politician who will be sorely missed,'' said Gov. Hugh J. Gallen, who called for all state flags to be lowered to half staff.
Though he ran for Governor seven times and for the United States Senate five times, Mr. Powell held office only once, when he was Governor from 1958 to 1962.
His term was marked by a reorganization of the state government, viewed by many state leaders as one of his most lasting accomplishments.
In 1961 he was chairman of the New England Governors Conference and the National Governors Conference. His final campaign came last fall, when he finished third in the 11-man Republican primary for the United States Senate behind Warren Rudman, who was elected last November. Served as Baptist Minister
Mr. Powell was graduated from the University of New Hampshire and obtained a law degree from Southern Methodist University. He served as a Baptist minister before joining the Army Air Corps in 1942, becoming a tail gunner in a B-24 bomber.
After his discharge, Mr. Powell became administrative assistant to the Senator Styles Bridges. In 1950 Mr. Powell made his first bid for public office, running unsuccessfully in the Republican Senate primary.
In 1958 he defeated former Gov. Hugh Gregg in the primary and the Democratic candidate, Bernard Boutin, in the general gubernatorial election. He was re-elected in 1960.
After losing a bid for a third term in the 1962 Republican primary, Mr. Powell never held office again. Mr. Powell leaves his wife, Beverly Swain Powell; two sons, Samuel and Peter; and a daughter, Nancy Powell Brighton.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Citigroup ( C) is adding annual fees to many popular credit cards a week before the CARD Act goes into effect.Some Citigroup cardholders are receiving letters about a $60 annual fee that is being attached to their account effective April 1. If consumers make $2,400 in purchases during the year, the annual fee will be credited to their account. Only about 20% of credit cards in the U.S. have annual fees, according to data compiled by LowCards.com. It appears that Citigroup's test of adding an annual fee to a small share of customers in August 2009 proved to be successful for the issuer, which competes with Visa ( V), MasterCard ( MC) and Capital One ( COF). At that time, Citigroup began charging some cardholders an annual fee of $30 to $90 unless they spent at least $2,400 a year. Now a far greater number of customers are receiving this notice. "The reason we are making this change is to maintain the quality of our service amid the rising cost of doing business," said Ken Stork of Citibank in a letter to the cardholders receiving this notice. Citigroup's decision may be a sign of things to come. Issuers such as Citigroup have been squeezed weaker consumer spending, higher default rates and the enactment of the CARD Act, which puts limits on some interest-rate increases. Adding annual fees is a way to easily generate revenue. For consumers who spend at least an average of $200 a month on their Citigroup cards, the fee may not be a big deal. Those who own credit cards for emergencies will now have to pay for that safety.

Employment insurance, or EI as most call it, is a crucial component of Canada's social safety net. The EI program is funded by Canadian workers and their employers, not by government. That is why EI should operate like any other insurance plan, and provide temporary financial assistance to Canadians who find themselves without work through no fault of their own. One thing the EI fund should not be is a political slush fund operated by the Harper government for political gain.
It is no secret that our primary industries in P.E.I. remain farming, fishing and tourism. This means our economy is largely dependent on seasonal work, and is likely continue to be so. Yet, seasonal workers and their families have been under attack by successive Liberal and Conservative governments in Ottawa for the past 20 years or more.
During his tenure as finance minister and later as a short-lived and scandal-plagued PM, Paul Martin raided the EI fund, to the tune of $40 billion, in his efforts to slay the deficit. It now seems Mr. Harper has no less shame raiding the same insurance fund for the same political purpose. This amounts to nothing more than a hidden tax on employers and workers. This from a party that states that lower taxes are their goal.
In 2014 the EI program posted an estimated $3.4 billion surplus. Similar surpluses are forecast for 2015 and 2016 while contributions are to remain conveniently frozen. By 2017 Mr. Harper plans to take more than $17 billion excess dollars from the EI fund. That misappropriated money should be left for its intended purpose. To support unemployed workers and their families in their time of need.
Most islanders know Stephen Harper and the Chrétien-Martin government before him used the EI fund as a slush fund, but Stephen Harper has directly punished the unemployed in our region with his mean-spirited and damaging policies. It was Stephen Harper who introduced the 50 cents on the dollar EI claw back. It was Stephen Harper who implemented the deeply unfair rural-urban EI boundary divide in P.E.I., and it was Stephen Harper who made hardship and jobs out west mandatory for many Island families, especially rural Islanders.
Meanwhile, the Harper Government neglects the EI system to the point that only 38 per cent of jobless Canadians even qualify for benefits. Not only is this a problem for workers and their families who are struggling to get by every day, it also excludes them from any job and training opportunities that may have been available under the program were they able to qualify for EI in the first place.
Here's what needs to happen. Eliminate the two week waiting period, build a wall around the insurance fund to prevent any future government from misappropriation of the fund, and reverse the unfair measures that have been imposed.

A Japanese systems engineer using a homemade computer has doubled his own world record for calculating the value of pi, crunching the mathematical constant to 10 trillion digits, according to news reports.
Just 14 months after hitting 5 trillion digits, Shigeru Kondo, 56, bested his record Sunday, Kyodo News said in a report picked up by other outlets, including The Telegraph. He began his quest last October.
Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, commonly noted as 3.14. Math whizzes celebrate it March 14.
Kondo's DIY computer features a 48-terabyte hard drive, which generates considerable heat. The temperature in the computer room of the family's home in Nagano, in northern Japan, hit 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
"We could dry the laundry immediately, but we had to pay 30,000 yen (about $390) a month for electricity," said his wife, Yukiko.

This action research project investigated the use of a collaborative learning approach for addressing issues associated with teaching urban design to large, diverse cohorts. As a case study, I observed two semesters of an urban design unit that I revised between 2011 and 2012 to incorporate collaborative learning activities. Data include instructional materials, participant observations, peer-reviews of collaborative learning activities, feedback from students and instructors and student projects. Themes that emerged through qualitative analysis include the challenge of removing inequalities inherent in the diverse cohort, the challenge of unifying project guidance and marking criteria, and the challenge of providing project guidance for a very large cohort. Most notably, the study revealed a need to clarify learning objectives relating to design principles in order to fully transition to and benefit from a collaborative learning model.

I just came across an article on AskMen.com that had me do a double-take. The article is two pages of tips on how to endure a sex marathon! The author advises the reader not to orgasm, to pleasure his partner in order to keep the focus off himself, not to drink too much, to get creative, to keep lube handy, and to have a glass of water handy.
While I'm all for an extended romp every now and again, a sex-a-thon doesn't interest me in the slightest. Does it you? Would you be interested in taking all these precautions if it meant sex for hours on end, if not all night, with your special someone?

Question about Computers & Internet
Posted by greenhillspa on
The proposed solution was to open the corrupted QuarkXPress file in "Show Colours". This didn't work: the document wouldn't load. There isn't an Autosave version of the file: I didn't know about Autosave when the problem occured. I have the corrupted file on a disc.
An expert has recommended the use of Autosave. That's the benefit of hindsight: see my comments.
Quark Doc Xtractor has been recommended, but i can't load it without running Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0. Would it do my computer any harm to download Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0?
No haram to download .net frem work 2.0 your software need it so can downlod it install in your system
Posted on Jul 12, 2008
In Windows open folder with file saved inside.
In folder choose from top menus tools/folder options/ view (tab)
in View chose display hidden file and display system files.
If a temporary files had been saved you can recover it opening it with QE
If there is a temp file it will start with ~ char.
Posted on Jul 12, 2008
From what I gather, trhere is a utility/tool specifically for this purpose; reconstructing/recovering a QuarkXpress 5.0 Bad file format. It is Markztools. Unfortunately, it is not freeware and there is no Demo Version.
However, you can try getting in touch with Robert de Jong (firstname.lastname@example.com) Technical /Training Managerc for Markzware (Europe) bv in the Netherlands and explain your concern or call +31 70 3072977 (in the Netherlands). I was made to understand that "You can send your document to us,
through an attachment to an e-mail. We will try to salvage the document and sent it back to you also through an e-mail attachment."
The original posting is here.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.
Posted on Jul 12, 2008
This problem usually occurs when you work on a file over the network and your machine crashes. There is one tool that CLAIMS it can repair this. Go to http://www.markzware.com/markztools/ which I haven't tried before, but if you're desperate, then maybe the 189US$ is worth the try.But in the future please try to use the AUTOSAVE option which be really useful..Every lesson is well and learned..HOpe this helps you..Thank you!!...

Description of The Regiment – 15 Years in the SAS:
The Regiment – 15 Years in the SAS (General Military)
From its early beginnings in World War II, the Special Air Service (SAS) has won renown in some of the most dramatic, dangerous and controversial military special operations of the 20th century. It is a secretive and mysterious unit, whose operations and internal structures are hidden from the public eye. Now, one of its longest-serving veterans offers a glimpse into the shadowy world of the SAS. Rusty Firmin spent an incredible 15 years with 'The Regiment' and was a key figure in the assault of the Iranian Embassy in London in May 1980.
Newly revised and available in paperback, this is the unforgettable chronicle of Rusty's combat experiences – a fascinating and intimate portrayal of what it was like to be part of the world's most respected Special Operations Force.

I have read in the survival guide that the typical Na'vi is probably 4 times stronger than the regular human. The page on this wiki about the Na'vi says that pound for pound, humans are probably stronger. Jake Sully's avatar body looked physically stronger than the bodies of the male Na'vi, so does that mean humans are physically stronger? Does gravity play a role in determining the level of strength? How much does a typical Na'vi weigh?
I personally believe that pound for pound, a human would be stronger than a Na'vi. The Na'vi body structure is more willowy and doesn't seem like it can support a lot of weight. The human body structure seems sturdier and more able to support weight. So what do you think?

The world's smallest breathalyzer
If you're out on the town and want to know just how much you've had to drink, or want to test a friend, DrinkMate has your BAC (blood alcohol content). Eliminate all doubt with this pocket-sized breathalyzer test. It's easy to use, accurate to within 0.01% of your BAC and, to top it all off, it looks pretty nifty too.
Advanced semiconductor sensor ensures accurate readings
Drinkmate uses an advanced semiconductor-based sensor along with an air inlet which flows perfectly over the sensor, ensuring readings are accurate and repeatable. It'll show an accurate reading up to 0.20% BAC, too, which is more than most people will ever need.
Intuitive free app
Just download Drinkmate's free app on your Android smartphone, plug the Drinkmate device's high-quality Lightning connector into your iOS device's Lightning port and follow the app's instructions. Within seconds, you'll be looking at your BAC (blood alcohol content).
Extremely low power consumption
Drinkmate runs from your phone's battery, making it light and compact. What's more, the power consumption is so low you won't even notice the difference (30mAh for steady state and up to 90mA during a 7-second warmup), so you'll always be able to run it, even after a long night.
