Making it easier for our target audience to get Fedora is a goal. Getting more of our target audience to download and try out Fedora is a goal. Getting more of our target audience to fall in love with Fedora is a goal. Simplifying the download page is one means towards those ends. The conflicting goals that I'm (possibly falsely) seeing are: * Retention of existing contributors * Growth of Fedora user base * Growth of Fedora contributors Simplifying the get-fedora page is aimed at growing the userbase in total. But the argument is being made that the new design will hurt the ability of some areas of the project to retain and grow the contributor base. I think that beefing up the spins page is aimed at rectifying that but it doesn't help if people who are looking to download fedora aren't being enticed to click to the spins page. -Toshio

GM's founder lost his shirt in the Depression and ended his days managing a bowling alley in flint, Michigan.
flint is right in saying that this was not "a first" for cable television.
They remain that way for three months, making grazing in the flint Hills a 90-day experience ending in early August.
"If you are a waiter, you can make twice as much in Austin relative to flint," remarked Moretti.
The flint Hills are not cool and foreboding like the Sahara or Negev.
When these were lighted with flint and steel the problem was solved.
But she thought, and said, that she loved little Will flint.
Her laughter was less merciful than the ring of flint on steel.
Use every effort, harden your face to flint, and give eloquence to your tongue.
These flint daggers differed also in size, but seldom exceeded a foot in length.
Old English flint "flint, rock," common Germanic (cf. Middle Dutch vlint, Old High German flins, Danish flint), from PIE *splind- "to split, cleave," from root *(s)plei- "to splice, split" (cf. Greek plinthos "brick, tile," Old Irish slind "brick"). Transferred senses were in Old English.

One of the best ways to access this growth has been through tracker funds. These are low-cost unit and investment trusts which mirror the growth in a stock market index by buying its constituent shares.
Over the year to the end of 1997, trackers like the Direct Line's FTSE 100 tracker, the HSBC Footsie Fund and Marks & Spencer 100 Companies returned around 22 per cent. This compared with an average for all UK-invested unit trusts of around 12 per cent, and clearly outpaced the 3 per cent average growth for internationally invested funds.
But financial advisers warn that the UK may not yield so much treasure from here on in. "The UK is looking really overvalued now," says Alastair Conway, of London independent financial advisers Clark Conway. "Investors should almost certainly be diversifying into other markets, particularly continental Europe where potential growth is far greater."
This view is reflected in the funds topping the performance league tables. The tables in the spring 1998 issue of What PEP magazine are dominated by funds investing in continental Europe (see table). Shares there are being bolstered by a benign interest-rate environment and the fact companies are striving to increase profitability in time for monetary union.
Funds investing in smaller UK companies are also garnering more interest now the mighty corporations of the FTSE 100 are looking pricey. Gartmore UK Smaller Companies is the top-performing "PEPpable" smaller company unit trust over five years. To the beginning of this month, it has posted a return of just over 281 per cent, compared with an average five-year return for PEP unit trusts of 197 per cent.
Some smaller company investment trusts have done even better, partly because their return can be pushed up by increased investor demand for their shares, as well as the performance of their underlying investments.
Shares in Foreign & Colonial Enterprise, a venture capital & development investment trust, have chalked up a staggering 528 per cent growth over five years, while Invesco English & International investment trust, which invests across a wide spread of mostly UK smaller companies, has returned 434 per cent to PEP investors.
Even so, advisers like Alasdair Conway still believe at least half of any PEP investor's UK exposure should be in larger companies. "Companies like Marks & Spencer are very stable and they are the first ones to bounce back. If the market gets nervous, they are less affected," he reasons.
Amanda Davidson, of independent financial advisers Holden Meehan agrees. She says: "We particularly like the Schroder Enterprise unit trust because it has a good mix of British companies, even if it has become more oriented to smaller companies recently."
Both Alasdair Conway and Amanda Davidson recommend growth seekers to spread their PEP among different markets. Conway suggests, for example, that of the pounds 6,000 PEP allowance, pounds 3,000 should go into the UK, pounds 1,500 into continental Europe and the rest in what he terms "something more exotic such as emerging markets in general or, for those willing to take a long-term view, the currently troubled markets of Japan and the Far East".
Young, developing stock markets such as Latin America and the Far East can offer very dynamic returns but to ride out events such as the crisis currently hitting the Far East you need to take a long-term view, say at least five-years.
For those interested, Alasdair Conway recommends looking at investment houses such as Schroder, Perpetual and Fidelity.
"The advantage of using these management groups is that they also have good UK and European funds. So if things get a bit jittery you can move easily into safer markets without having to switch your PEP to a different fund manager," he says
Meanwhile, PEP investors who want investment thrills without the spills have a growing number of options.
Protected unit trusts, such as the Lloyds Bank Safety First Fund and NatWest Safeguard Fund, aim to limit losses in the event of a stock market meltdown by setting a floor on their fund's selling prices. Others guarantee to return all or most of your original investment at the end of fixed length of time, even if the market falls.

Does a Normal Foetus Really Have a Future of Value? A Reply to Marquis
Lovering, Robert P.
Bibliographic Citation
Bioethics 2005 April; 19(2): 131-145
The traditional approach to the abortion debate revolves around numerous issues, such as whether the foetus is a person, whether the foetus has rights, and more. Don Marquis suggests that this traditional approach leads to a standoff and that the abortion debate 'requires a different strategy.' Hence his 'future of value' strategy, which is summarized as follows: (1) A normal foetus has a future of value. (2) Depriving a normal foetus of a future of value imposes a misfortune on it. (3) Imposing a misfortune on a normal foetus is prima facie wrong. (4) Therefore, depriving a normal foetus of a future of value is prima facie wrong. (5) Killing a normal foetus deprives it of a future value. (6) Therefore, killing a normal foetus is prima facie wrong. In this paper, I argue that Marquis's strategy is not different since it involves the concept of person--a concept deeply rooted in the traditional approach. Specifically, I argue that futures are valuable insofar as they are not only dominated by goods of consciousness, but are experienced by psychologically continuous persons. Moreover, I argue that his strategy is not sound since premise (1) is false. Specifically, I argue that a normal foetus, at least during the first trimester, is not a person. Thus, during that stage of development it is not capable of experiencing its future as a psychologically continuous person and, hence, it does not have a future of value.

favorites would be the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett and Tom Clancy's Ryanverse. Other than those, I mostly read sci-fi and fantasy books, with the occasional war, thriller, and horror thrown in. no drama or romance please :D
Too many to put down. I love watching Sci-fi, fantasy, war, adventure, thriller, horror, and comedy. You'd need to put a gun on my head to make me watch romantic dramas :D
The Beatles, Queen, The Smiths, The Cure, The Strokes, The Pixies, Radiohead, Oasis, Ash, The Adams, Sore, Payung Teduh, Naif, Pure Saturday, The Submarines, Vampire Weekend, Suede, and many more.
I'm willing to try anything as long as its not too spicy, or seafood. I have eaten brains, eyeballs, lungs, tripe, intestines, and even uterus, but can still enjoy a good thick steak :9

To all of you who don't know what's going on in my latest Tournament release, I plan to fill you in. However, if you haven't read these special Games and would like to see this for yourself and/or add yourself to the list of Tributes (we haven't even finished Training yet) you can go to this site:
To recap what has happened so far:
Act 3: The Parade
Primrose1444 (an honorary Tribute) asks Brony12 and TotalDramaRox97 to ally with her for the Games. However, they both say that they will ally with her only if she acquires a Training Score of 80 out of 96 (equivalent to a 10).
Mockingjay5 and Firecatcher3 gossip about a conspiracy that every Espinoza Tribute, except for JERealize, is in on.
Typingwestern015 and Regel Torrance plan to ally with each other to defend themselves against the gang leader Tributes out to get Typingwestern015, and Seder Torrance from Newfoundland and Labrador, who's out to get Regel Torrance.
Anthony Gonzales spies on a meeting of the Californian Tributes, and even hacks into RueRose's account just to mess with them... but it all backfires when the real RueRose steps in.
Act 4: The Training
The Wisconsin Mentor asks Franco Toledo to mentor energetic maniac and fellow Tribute Sedra Alsypse, and even goes to the point where the mentor commands Franco to learn from her and act like her.
Madge Undersee (yes, you've heard it right) is given a new persona called Dark Matter, and has even decided to battle Sedra Alsypse in a swordfight.
... and more!
We add new info daily, so always tune in for the latest details. If you want to comment, all comments must be redirected to the Tournament page, unless you really want to comment on this page. Thank you for considering this tournament to watch. We hope to start the Games soon.

Mattel, the famous toy company, has made the decision to now diversify their dolls in Barbie line. Barbie has always been the face of dolls and now that face, along with the body are going through a few tweaks and changes.
Mattel has always had their original Barbie, who is bleach blonde with blue eyes, not too dark but not too pale, and of average height. But, now, they have decided to enter 2016 with the introduction of the curvy, tall, and petite body types. Although that is already a drastic change, they have went a step further and introduced different races.
Yes, races have already been implemented into the world of Barbie, but really they were just rehashes of the original barbie in different colors. You can spray paint a Barbie green from head to toe and say it is an alien Barbie.
This is a big deal in society, it is starting to make the dolls that we know today look more like the women we see each day. Every woman cannot and will not look like the original Barbie that so many of us, including our female children, have set as our ideal portrayal of what a woman should look like.
"This is what I've been waiting for my whole life, it makes me happy seeing that Mattel has acknowledged that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes," says Tanjanae Walter.
Christopher Udo had a very positive outlook and view on the matter, saying, "It's a good thing that they're making the dolls more diverse and realistic, all the beautiful intelligent women I see everyday are the ones that should've been cast as the model for [Barbie] from the very start."

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Goldman Sachs ( GS) confirmed three month old reports it is trying to sell its mortgage servicing unit--Litton Loan Servicing. Goldman's interest in shopping the unit was first reported by the Financial Times in December. Late Tuesday and early Wednesday, spokesman Michael Duvally confirmed to several news organizations, including TheStreet, that Goldman is "exploring strategic alternatives, including a sale," of the unit. Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove believes Goldman may have trouble getting a good price for the unit because potential buyers don't want to be liable for lawsuits or regulatory problems that may emerge, given the intense scrutiny of the mortgage servicing industry. "They're trying to get wider knowledge out that this thing is up for sale, and that's why it's all over the press," Bove says. Duvally declined to respond to this assertion. Goldman acquired Litton in December 2007 for $470 million. At the time of the deal, spokesman Duvally told Bloomberg that``given the stress in the residential mortgage market, a premium is being placed on quality workout-servicing capabilities, for which Litton is very well-known.'' A person familiar with Goldman's strategy said Goldman had hoped to buy pools of home loans Litton could service, but though it did some of those deals, the opportunity did not play out as Goldman had hoped. The opportunity to buy such pools has slowed down significantly from where it was a year ago, according to Joe Murin, Chairman of advisory firm The Collingwood Group and a former president of Ginnie Mae. Litton is the 23rd largest mortgage servicer in the U.S., according to Inside Mortgage Finance, which lists Bank of America ( BAC), as the largest, followed by Wells Fargo ( WFC) and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM). Together, those top three banks' servicing units comprise nearly 50% of the market. Citigroup ( C) is fourth with just over 6% of the servicing market. Another factor contributing to Goldman's decision may be increased government scrutiny of the mortgage servicing business. Problems with mortgage servicing have already proved very costly to Bank of America and remain among the chief worries for many followers of the stock. The other big servicers have similar issues, though not as severe.

If X3(k)=X1(k)X2(k) then the sequence x3(n) can be obtained by circular convolution defined as
x3(n)=∑ x1(m)x2((n-m))N
29.How to obtain the output sequence of linear convolution through circular convolution?
Consider two finite duration sequences x(n) and h(n) of duration L samples and M samples. The linear convolution of these two sequences produces an output sequence of duration L+M-1 samples, whereas , the circular convolution of x(n) and h(n) give N samples where N=max(L,M).In order to obtain the number of samples in circular convolution equal to L+M-1, both x(n) and h(n) must be appended with appropriate number of zero valued samples. In other words by increasing the length of the sequences x(n) and h(n) to L+M-1 points and then circularly convolving the resulting sequences we obtain the same result as that of linear convolution.
30.What is zero padding?What are its uses?
Let the sequence x(n) has a length L. If we want to find the N-point DFT(N>L) of the sequence x(n), we have to add (N-L) zeros to the sequence x(n). This is known as zero padding.
The uses of zero padding are
1)We can get better display of the frequency spectrum.
2)With zero padding the DFT can be used in linear filtering.
31.Define sectional convolution.
If the data sequence x(n) is of long duration it is very difficult to obtain the output sequence y(n) due to limited memory of a digital computer. Therefore, the data sequence is divided up into smaller sections. These sections are processed separately one at a time and controlled later to get the output.
32.What are the two methods used for the sectional convolution?
The two methods used for the sectional convolution are
1)the overlap-add method and 2)overlap-save method.
33.What is overlap-add method?
In this method the size of the input data block xi(n) is L. To each data block we append M-1 zeros and perform N point cicular convolution of xi(n) and h(n). Since each data block is terminated with M-1 zeros the last M-1 points from each output block must be overlapped and added to first M-1 points of the succeeding blocks.This method is called overlap-add method.
34.What is overlap-save method?
In this method the data sequence is divided into N point sections xi(n).Each section contains the last M-1 data points of the previous section followed by L new data points to form a data sequence of length N=L+M-1.In circular convolution of xi(n) with h(n) the first M-1 points will not agree with the linear convolution of xi(n) and h(n) because of aliasing, the remaining points will agree with linear convolution. Hence we discard the first (M-1) points of filtered section xi(n) N h(n). This process is repeated for all sections and the filtered sections are abutted together.
35.Why FFT is needed?
The direct evaluation DFT requires N2 complex multiplications and N2 –N complex additions. Thus for large values of N direct evaluation of the DFT is difficult. By using FFT algorithm the number of complex computations can be reduced. So we use FFT.
36.What is FFT?
The Fast Fourier Transform is an algorithm used to compute the DFT. It makes use of the symmetry and periodicity properties of twiddle factor to effectively reduce the DFT computation time.It is based on the fundamental principle of decomposing the computation of DFT of a sequence of length N into successively smaller DFTs.
37.How many multiplications and additions are required to compute N point DFT using redix-2 FFT?
The number of multiplications and additions required to compute N point DFT using radix-2 FFT are N log2 N and N/2 log2 N respectively,.
38.What is meant by radix-2 FFT?
The FFT algorithm is most efficient in calculating N point DFT. If the number of output points N can be expressed as a power of 2 that is N=2M, where M is an integer, then this algorithm is known as radix-2 algorithm.
39.What is DIT algorithm?
Decimation-In-Time algorithm is used to calculate the DFT of a N point sequence. The idea is to break the N point sequence into two sequences, the DFTs of which can be combined to give the DFt of the original N point sequence.This algorithm is called DIT because the sequence x(n) is often splitted into smaller sub- sequences.
40.What DIF algorithm?
It is a popular form of the FFT algorithm. In this the output sequence X(k) is divided into smaller and smaller sub-sequences , that is why the name Decimation In Frequency.
41.Draw the basic butterfly diagram of DIT algorithm.
The basic butterfly diagram for DIT algorithm is
Where a and b are inputs and A and B are the outputs.
42.Draw the basic butterfly diagram of DIF algorithm.
The basic butterfly diagram for DIF algorithm is
Where a and b are inputs and A and B are outputs.
43.What are the applications of FFT algorithm?
The applications of FFT algorithm includes
1) Linear filtering
2) Correlation
3) Spectrum analysis
44.Why the computations in FFT algorithm is said to be in place?
Once the butterfly operation is performed on a pair of complex numbers (a,b) to produce (A,B), there is no need to save the input pair. We can store the result (A,B) in the same locations as (a,b). Since the same storage locations are used troughout the computation we say that the computations are done in place.
45.Distinguish between linear convolution and circular convolution of two sequences.
Linear convolution
If x(n) is a sequence of L number of samples and h(n) with M number of samples, after convolution y(n) will have N=L+M-1 samples.
It can be used to find the response of a linear filter.
Zero padding is not necessary to find the response of a linear filter.
Circular convolution
If x(n) is a sequence of L number of samples and h(n) with M samples, after convolution y(n) will have N=max(L,M) samples.
It cannot be used to find the response of a filter.
Zero padding is necessary to find the response of a filter.
46.What are differences between overlap-save and overlap-add methods.
Overlap-save method
In this method the size of the input data block is N=L+M-1
Each data block consists of the last M-1 data points of the previous data block followed by L new data points
In each output block M-1 points are corrupted due to aliasing as circular convolution is employed
To form the output sequence the first
M-1 data points are discarded in each output block and the remaining data are fitted together
Overlap-add method
In this method the size of the input data block is L
Each data block is L points and we append M-1 zeros to compute N point DFT
In this no corruption due to aliasing as linear convolution is performed using circular convolution
To form the output sequence the last
M-1 points from each output block is added to the first M-1 points of the succeeding block
47.What are the differences and similarities between DIF and DIT algorithms?
1)The input is bit reversed while the output is in natural order for DIT, whereas for DIF the output is bit reversed while the input is in natural order.
2)The DIF butterfly is slightly different from the DIT butterfly, the difference being that the complex multiplication takes place after the add-subtract operation in DIF.
Both algorithms require same number of operations to compute the DFT.Both algorithms can be done in place and both need to perform bit reversal at some place during the computation.
48. What are the different types of filters based on impulse response?
Based on impulse response the filters are of two types
1. IIR filter
2. FIR filter
The IIR filters are of recursive type, whereby the present output sample depends on the present input, past input samples and output samples.

These filters can be easily designed to have perfectly linear phase.
FIR filters can be realized recursively and non-recursively.
Greater flexibility to control the shape of their magnitude response.
Errors due to round off noise are less severe in FIR filters, mainly because feedback is not used.
IIR filter
These filters do not have linear phase.
IIR filters are easily realized recursively.

53.What is Gibb's phenomenon?
One possible way of finding an FIR filter that approximates H(ejw) would be to truncate the infinite Fourier series at n=±(N-1/2).Direct truncation of the series will lead to fixed percentage overshoots and undershoots before and after an approximated discontinuity in the frequency response.

Io(α) 2
0 otherwise
where α is an independent parameter.
57. What is the necessary and sufficient condition for linear phase characteristic in FIR filter?
The necessary and sufficient condition for linear phase characteristic in FIR filter is, the impulse response h(n) of the system should have the symmetry property i.e.,
H(n) = h(N-1-n)
where N is the duration of the sequence.
58.What are the advantages of Kaiser window?
o It provides flexibility for the designer to select the side lobe level and N
o It has the attractive property that the side lobe level can be varied continuously from the low value in the Blackman window to the high value in the rectangular window
59. What is the principle of designing FIR filter using frequency sampling method?
In frequency sampling method the desired magnitude response is sampled and a linear phase response is specified .The samples of desired frequency response are identified as DFT coefficients. The filter coefficients are then determined as the IDFT of this set of samples.
60. For what type of filters frequency sampling method is suitable?
Frequency sampling method is attractive for narrow band frequency selective filters where only a few of the samples of the frequency response are non zero.

The mapping from the S-plane to the Z-plane is in bilinear transformation is
76. What are the properties of bilinear transformation?
• The mapping for the bilinear transformation is a one-to-one mapping that is for every point Z, there is exactly one corresponding point S, and vice-versa.
• The j Ω-axis maps on to the unit circle |z|=1,the left half of the s-plane maps to the interior of the unit circle |z|=1 and the half of the s-plane maps on to the exterior of the unit circle |z|=1.
77. Write a short note on pre-warping.
The effect of the non-linear compression at high frequencies can be compensated. When the desired magnitude response is piece-wise constant over frequency, this compression can be compensated by introducing a suitable pre-scaling, or pre-warping the critical frequencies by using the formula.
78. What are the advantages & disadvantages of bilinear transformation?
• The bilinear transformation provides one-to-one mapping.
• Stable continuous systems can be mapped into realizable, stable digital systems.
• There is no aliasing.
• The mapping is highly non-linear producing frequency, compression at high frequencies.

85. What is meant by sign magnitude representation?
For sign magnitude representation the leading binary digit is used to represent the sign.
If it is equal to 1 the number is negative, otherwise it is positive.
86. What is meant by 1's complement form?
In 1,s complement form the positive number is represented as in the sign magnitude form. To obtain the negative of the positive number ,complement all the bits of the positive number.
87. What is meant by 2's complement form?
In 2's complement form the positive number is represented as in the sign magnitude form. To obtain the negative of the positive number ,complement all the bits of the positive number and add 1 to the LSB.
88. What is meant by floating pint representation?
In floating point form the positive number is represented as F =2CM,where is mantissa, is a fraction such that1/2<M<1and C the exponent can be either positive or negative.
89 What are the advantages of floating pint representation?
1.Large dynamic range 2.overflow is unlikely.
90.What are the quantization errors due to finite word length registers in digital filters?
1.Input quantization errors2.Coefficient quantization errors3.Product quantization errors
91.What is input quantization error?.
The filter coefficients are computed to infinite precision in theory. But in digital computation the filter coefficients are represented in binary and are stored in registers. If a b bit register is used the filter coefficients must be rounded or truncated to b bits ,which produces an error.
92. .What is product quantization error?.
The product quantization errors arise at the out put of the multiplier. Multiplication of a b bit data with a b bit coefficient results a product having 2b bits. Since a b bit register is used the multiplier output will be rounded or truncated to b bits which produces the error.
93. What is input quantization error?.
The input quantization errors arise due to A/D conversion.
94.What are the different quantization methods?
Truncation and Rounding
95.What is truncation?
Truncation is a process of discarding all bits less significant than LSB that is retained
96. What is Rounding?
Rounding a number to b bits is accomplished by choosing a rounded result as the b bit number closest number being unrounded.
97.What are the two types of limit cycle behavior of DSP?.
1.Zero limit cycle behavior 2.Over flow limit cycle behavior
98.What are the methods to prevent overflow?
1.Saturation arithmetic and2.Scaling
99.State some applications of DSP?
Speech processing ,Image processing, Radar signal processing.
100.Draw the Block diagram of channel vocoder.

Arrabiatta Sauce
Recipe by bggio
This is a great favorite of anyone who loves spicy sauces for pasta and can be made either vegetarian or with my way with a good Italian Pancetta. The ultimate way is to use fresh tomatoes and not canned but canned works as well to save time. The amount of herbs and hot pepper can be adjusted to your own tastes but this guideline is awesome.
Top Review by Dr. Jenny
Wow! This is an excellent sauce. I am so glad that we picked this one last night for our anniversary dinner to go over the homemade pasta ("pici") we were making. Excellent flavor and perfect amount of heat. I used fresh roma tomatoes from my garden ( 3 to 3.5 lbs) and I de-seeded 3 of the 5 chili peppers because I also added 1 lb hot Italian sausage to Step #4 with the pancetta. The result was amazing. Our pici took awhile to make, so I am quite certain that the arrabiata sauce simmered much longer than 45 mins (probably an hour and a half). We served this with Bev's Recipe #94388, which complimented nicely and a strong red wine (Nobile di Montepulciano) we picked up in Italy last year. Thanks for making our first anniversary special. We will definitely make this sauce again. We loved it!

The risk of the EU breaking up is "real" and negotiations of the UK's future membership remain "very fragile", the President of the European Council has admitted.
Speaking ahead of the crucial summit on 18 February in which David Cameron will try to successfully renegotiate the terms of Britain's membership, Donald Tusk warned that talks have reached a "critical moment".
If Mr Cameron is able to secure the backing of other EU leaders at the summit in Brussels for his demands to renegotiate the terms of Britain's membership.
If he clinches a deal, he will call an immediate Cabinet meeting on 19 February, after which Eurosceptic ministers such as Iain Duncan Smith would be free to join the "Brexit" campaign – sparking the beginning of the EU referendum battle in earnest
The potential timetable – leading to an in-out referendum in late June – emerged as David Cameron embarked on a last-minute flurry of diplomatic activity ahead of the summit.
Last night he held talks in Paris with President Francois Hollande and will meet key figures in the European Parliament on 16 February in an attempt to gain their backing.
Tory sources confirmed that the Cabinet would be called on 19 February in the event of a deal being struck the night before.
Mr Cameron hopes it will be finalised during a working dinner at the summit on late on 18 February, although sources in London and Brussels have stressed there are still several important sticking-points to be resolved. The Prime Minister's spokeswoman said: "Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."
Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, also warned last night that negotiations over Britain's demands had reached a "critical moment". Speaking after talks with the Romanian and French presidents, he tweeted: "The risk of break-up is real because this process is indeed very fragile."
This is a critical moment. Risk of break-up is real as #UKinEU negotiations very fragile. Handle with care. What is broken cannot be mended— Donald Tusk (@eucopresident) February 15, 2016
Next #EUCO has 2 biggest challenges to EU's future on agenda: UK's future membership of EU and migration crisis pic.twitter.com/uT7Y7jxdT0— Donald Tusk (@eucopresident) February 15, 2016
If agreement is reached in Brussels, the summit will end at lunchtime on 19 February, at which point Mr Cameron would hurry back to Downing Street to chair the meeting of senior ministers.
The Prime Minister had come under pressure – most vocally from Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee – not to delay the Cabinet session until 22 February.
Campaigners to leave the EU had warned it would be seen as very unfair to leave the airwaves free over the weekend for supporters of EU membership while Eurosceptic ministers were still bound by collective Cabinet responsibility.
The timetable will now allow them to attend a major pro-Brexit rally being staged on 20 February and to give interviews over the weekend to make the opposite case from the Prime Minister.
Chris Grayling, John Whittingdale, Priti Patel and Theresa Villiers are expected to join Mr Duncan Smith in arguing for Brexit, while Michael Gove is understood to be agonising over which way to jump.
What has the EU ever done for us?
What has the EU ever done for us?
1/7 1. It gives you freedom to live, work and retire anywhere in Europe
As a member of the EU, UK citizens benefit from freedom of movement across the continent. Considered one of the so-called four pillars of the European Union, this freedom allows all EU citizens to live, work and travel in other member states.
2/7 2. It sustains millions of jobs
A report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, released in October 2015, suggested 3.1 million British jobs were linked to the UK's exports to the EU.
3/7 3. Your holiday is much easier - and safer
Freedom to travel is one of the most exercised benefits of EU membership, with Britons having made 31 million visits to the EU in 2014 alone. But a lot of the benefits of being an EU citizen are either taken for granted or go unnoticed.
4/7 4. It means you're less likely to get ripped off
Consumer protection is a key benefit of the EU's single market, and ensures members of the British public receive equal consumer rights when shopping anywhere in Europe.
5/7 5. It offers greater protection from terrorists, paedophiles, people traffickers and cyber-crime
Another example of a lesser-known advantage of EU membership is the benefit of cross-country coordination and cooperation in the fight against crime.
6/7 6. Our businesses depend on it
According to 71% of all members of the Confederation of British Influence (CBI), and 67 per cent of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the EU has had an overall positive impact on their business.
7/7 7. We have greater influence
Robin Niblett, Director of think-tank Chatham House, stated in a report published last year: "For a mid-sized country like the UK, which will never again be economically dominant either globally or regionally, and whose diplomatic and military resources are declining in relative terms, being a major player in a strong regional institution can offer a critical lever for international influence.
Sources would not be drawn on whether Mr Cameron would take the unusual step of calling a weekend Cabinet meeting if the negotiations in Brussels run over into late on 19 February or even 20 February.
Last night's talks in Paris were due to focus on French concerns over Mr Cameron's demand for Britain and other nations outside the single currency to be protected from decisions made by Eurozone countries. The French have raised objections that the UK is asking for special treatment for the City of London.
In Brussels, Mr Cameron will meet the European Parliament's president, Martin Schulz, as well as leaders of the centre-right EPP and the Socialist groupings.
Downing Street has confirmed that key British reform demands, including curbs on in-work benefit payments to EU migrants and cuts in child benefit for youngsters living abroad, will require legislation in the Parliament even if they are backed by EU leaders. Both moves have encountered fierce opposition, particularly among MEPs from central and eastern European states.
Asked whether this could enable MEPs to block the changes after the referendum has taken place, the PM's spokeswoman replied: This would be a legally-binding document under international law, entered into by the 28 leaders of member states. There are a number of decisions subsequently which would have to be delivered by secondary EU law by co-decision with the European Parliament.
Meanwhile, HSBC warned that it could move 1,000 staff to Paris if the UK votes to leave the EU. Following a lengthy review, the group announced it was keeping its HQ in London, and chief executive Stuart Gulliver said the referendum result would not affect this decision. But he added: "If the UK leaves the EU it could have a significant impact on our non-ring-fenced bank - our trading room, corporate banking and investment banking ... We have 5,000 people in global banking and markets in London and I could imagine that around 20% of those would move to Paris."
Don't go two EU: Founding fathers urge UK in-vote
Two elder statesmen who helped build and shape the EU have urged Britain not to leave the union.
Valery Giscard d'Estaing, father of the European Monetary System that was the forerunner of the euro single currency, said keeping Britain in was well worth the trouble.
"I strongly hope they stay," the former French president, who turned 90 this month, told Reuters.
"Britain has an ancient and very brilliant history, the good citizenship of its population, an old and deeply authentic democratic tradition and expertise in international trade," he added.
Étienne Davignon, 83, the Belgian statesman and business leader who served in the European Commission under its only British president, Roy Jenkins, said the EU could adapt its structure to allow the eurozone to integrate further while keeping Britain in the EU's single market. "This is not an impossible question to resolve," he said.
Explainer: Who opposes what?
Cuts in child benefit for children living abroad
Being fiercely resisted by the so-called "Visegrad Four" – Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia – whose nationals would be most affected by the plan.
Reducing in-work benefits for EU migrants
Again, the Visegrad Four are strongly opposed; the Hungarian Prime Minister has attacked the idea that Hungarians in Britain were "parasites". They are being backed by Romania. Other countries also fear that the proposal undermines the principle of freedom of movement across the EU.
Protection from eurozone decisions for countries outside the single currency
France is sceptical, and suspects that the UK wants special treatment for the City of London.
The unexpected
Could debt-ridden Greece use the occasion to demand extra concessions in return for backing Britain's deal?

text: My yard was sprayed in late March and we had a significant amount of rain on and off afterwards. I first started to notice the damage on or around May 17th on one spruce. It was only the top one third of just one tree which can be seen in the link below: http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x438/justanotherhomeowner/Imprelis/DSCF6188.jpg Around May 22nd we started a long period of very warm and dry days that continued until recently. The rest of the trees started to decline during this dry period. A week after the dry period started I began to heavily irrigate my lawn when needed in hopes of slowing the damage. My neighbor on the other hand has not irrigated at all. Both properties have had damage to spruce trees. I am just a homeowner and am not a specialist in any way so take the following with a grain of salt. The initial difference I can see on both properties is that on the irrigated property (my property) any new growth (much more new growth in general) has curled but most of the older parts of the branches are still green and have managed to survive. This can be seen in the picture below: http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x438/justanotherhomeowner/Imprelis/DSCF6202.jpg On the non irrigated property there is less new growth in general on the tree but the branches that did show new growth started to curl and have completely died with no hope of regrowth. On my irrigated trees I noticed new buds forming on the portion of the trees that turned brown. Only time will tell if these new buds will survive. Again please take this last part with a grain of salt. There could be other differences causing this discrepancy between the two properties such as application rate of Imprelis.

|Microfinance Against Malaria: Impact of Freedom from Hunger's Malaria Education when Delivered by Rural Banks in Ghana
|De La Cruz N., Crookston B., Gray B., Alder S., Dearden K.
|Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg. 2009 Apr; 103(12):1229-36.
|A community randomized pre-test/post-test design was used to compare the knowledge and behaviors of microfinance clients receiving malaria education (n=213) to those receiving diarrhea education (n=223) and to non-client controls (n=268). Comparisons assessed differences at follow-up as well as within-group changes over time. At follow-up, malaria clients had significantly better malaria knowledge than comparison groups: 48.4% of malaria clients were able to identify groups most vulnerable to malaria compared with 39.2% of diarrhea clients (P=0.044) and 37.7% of non-clients (P=0.024). Malaria clients were more likely than diarrhea clients (P=0.024) (P<0.001) and non-clients (P=0.028) (P=0.004) to report that insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) provide the best protection against malaria, and to agree that pregnant women should use ITNs, respectively. Between baseline and follow-up, malaria clients were most likely to: improve in knowledge of malaria complications during pregnancy; to own at least one bed net; and to report at least one child or woman of reproductive age sleeping under a bed net. Malaria clients also experienced the greatest increases in ITN ownership/use (9% vs. 2.9% and 6.7% among diarrhea clients and non-clients). Results indicate that, although significant barriers to malaria control remain, a malaria education program provided by microfinance institutions can effectively contribute to community and national malaria initiatives.

WLC to ACS v5 to AD - PEAP Handshake Failed
I have a Cisco WLC talking to a ACS 4400 version 5.1 which in turn talks to Active Directory.
Ive been trying to get 802.1x for wireless clients going, I have a cert on the ACS from verisign on the box but when users try to sign in they get 12309 PEAP handshake failed in the ACS RADIUS log.
The cert was exported and placed directly on the testing laptop and at one point it all worked. I stepped away from it for 2 weeks to get a new internal CA built on a windows box, now coming back to it with the intent of issuing new certs to the ACS from the internal CA and thought I would check it to make sure all was good, but its not.
Google doesn't return happy results for "12309 PEAP handshake failed", I opened a TAC case on it and they took my cert to their lab. Haven't heard back. I was wondering if the netpro community had any ideas.
Try to authenticate to an internal ACS user and see if you have the same problem.
If that works then you at least have it narrowed down to ACS/AD communication and
can concentrate on that in the TAC case. Unfortunatly I have not seen the exact error

When the Vikings drafted kicker Blair Walsh in the sixth round last year, it sent the clear signal that Ryan Longwell's days as a Viking were numbered. A little more than a week later, the Vikings released Longwell. Walsh exploded on the scene and changed the Vikings special teams, routinely bombing kickoffs for touchbacks, making 10 field goals of 50 or more yards and earning a Pro Bowl spot in his rookie season.
Whether a product of that success, one gets a similar impression from the Vikings' decision to draft UCLA punter Jeff Locke in the fifth round of the 2013 draft Saturday. It may have sent a clear message to outspoken Vikings punter Chris Kluwe that he may well have the same fate.
Ten days prior to Locke being drafted, Kluwe told Viking Update, "If I can punt the ball well, then I'll have a job. If I can't, I won't. That's the reality of life in the NFL."
Locke was as heralded as any punter in the college game during his time with the Bruins. A four-year starter, the left-footed Locke averaged 44.2 yards, dropped 99 of his 275 career punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line, had 70 punts of 50 or more yards and never had a kick blocked. His 44.2-yard punt average was second all-time in school history, surpassing the 43.0 career average Kluwe had from 2001-04 at UCLA.
Locke and Kluwe have crossed paths during their careers and, while he doesn't know Kluwe personally, he said he's looking forward to challenging his fellow alumnus for the punting job on the Vikings.
"I met Kluwe one time at UCLA," Locke said. "He was the USC game and I saw him on the sideline, shook his hand and we talked a little bit. We haven't talked a whole lot."
While Locke is looking forward to an NFL career, football wasn't his first sporting love. Until he got coaxed into trying his hand (or, more accurately, his foot) at football by his high school coach prior to his freshman year, he thought his sporting future would be as a soccer playing during his formative years in Arizona.
"Growing up, I was a big soccer player," Locke said. "I hadn't really touched a football until I got to high school and then I just took from there when I started kicking and getting more serious about it."
A tremendous student-athlete who boasted a 3.9 grade point average at UCLA, he earned the respect of his college coach Jim Mora for his work ethic on and off the field.
"He's one of the best punters I've ever been around," Mora told The Los Angeles Times last October. "It's fun to watch him work. It's fun to watch his professionalism in practice and you hope that rubs off on everybody."
Locke had quite a bit of contact with Vikings special teams coach Mike Priefer. While many Vikings draft picks comment on the lack of contact they have with Vikings coaches and front office personnel, Locke had an idea the Vikings were interested in him because of the level of interest they showed in him in the months leading up to the draft.
""Pre-draft, we talked at the Senior Bowl and at the combine," Locke said. "We had one-on-one sit-downs and went over some stats and spoke at both of those events. Then he came out for a private workout at UCLA with me and we had dinner that night before."
Whether the Vikings decide to break ties next month with Kluwe as they did in a similar situation last year when Walsh was drafted and Longwell was released shortly thereafter or if the two are going to have a full-blown competition at training camp, Locke said he doesn't worry about the situation being awkward. They're both competing for one roster spot and that isn't unusual in the NFL.
"I don't think it will be (awkard)," Lock said. "I'm just going to come in and compete. Either way, you're competing with someone in the NFL no matter where you are. I'm just going to come in and give it my best. I'm just ready to come in and ready to play football."
