Woman faces felonies in shoplifting incident, police say
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 9:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 12:55 p.m.
A woman suspected of shoplifting $300 worth of merchandise from Kohl's and speeding through the parking lot to avoid police was arrested Monday night.
Cassandra Carson, 50, was charged by the Gainesville Police Department with two counts of aggravated assault on a officer, grand theft, resisting arrest without violence, fleeing an officer and leaving the scene of an accident, according to an arrest report.
The incident happened about 8:53 p.m. at Kohl's at Archer Road and Southwest 34th Street. The report states that a loss prevention officer saw Carson in the store for about two hours cutting the price tags off merchandise and concealing the items.
Carson left the store without paying for the goods and was confronted by two GPD officers who had been called to the store, the report states.
Instead of stopping for police, she got into her car and quickly backed it up toward one of the officers, who had to get out of the way. The report states that Carson drove toward another officer while careening through the parking lot at high speed. Carson drove recklessly through the parking lot, sideswiping another car before leaving the parking lot, police reported.
Carson eventually was stopped nearby by other officers and arrested.

Synology's DS213j Targets Budget-Conscious Home NAS Marketby Ganesh T S on 5/7/2013 6:36 AM EST

tech6 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI love Synology NAS devices for their functionality but their entry level models are usually underpowered and painfully slow. Reply
RoboJ1M - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI have a DS413j.
For anybody having transfer speed problems with a J series Synology NAS, try setting up Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000) across your network. My write speeds with 2 x WD RED drives jumps from 12MB/s to 50MB/s because of less CPU load on the NAS. In fact, during transfers with JF *on*, CPU usage stays at about 80%, so the HDDs become the bottle neck. Four drives and RAID5 may be a different story. I guess they don't have TCP offload engines? Hopefully checksumming is offloaded to a dedicated chip. Reply
TrackSmart - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkAny idea on pricing? I have no idea what "budget-conscious" means in the NAS market, so this post has very little meaning. Reply
Cow86 - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI think the 212j was $170 or so (€170 anyway here in europe...) at launch (not that it's really dropped), so I'd expect the same with the 213j. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkMSRP is $220, but I expect it to sell in the US at USD 200 (just like the 212j) Reply
TrackSmart - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkThank you for the responses. I also appreciate that the article has been updated with this very useful piece of contextual information. Excellent. Reply
xaueious - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkCan the FPU just be enabled on the Marvell 6281 Kirkwood CPUs? Or is it a hardware option?
Also, does this have USB 3.0? Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkPretty sure it is a hardware option (probably fused off by Marvell depending on the pricing at which the SoC was obtained).
No USB 3.0 (just two USB 2.0 ports) Reply
xaueious - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkSupposedly it supports WOL now, unlike the DS212J? Can someone confirm? That's a big deal. Reply
wicketr - Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - linkI wonder how this will compare to the DS714. It should be released next month. And rumored is a release of a more more consumer priced version of the DS714. Would love to get something with that Intel chip in it at a reasonable price. Reply
thebigfudge - Monday, May 13, 2013 - linkI have a DS211J with the latest DSM (4.2). It is rock solid, I have never had any issues with it. I have it running 24 hours a day as a backup destination and file server. The Synology apps are commendable, I use CloudStation as a Dropbox replacement (on desktop at least, their mobile apps are not quite there). You can certainly stream music from it, and I have hosted photo albums using it, but the performance is what you should expect from this tier. In other words, it is slow. Multiple-gig file transfers on LAN are quick enough. The DSM user interface is highly polished and is very well documented. That said, I am finding the Linux underpinnings more and more handy. I installed a JVM and run some Java apps that require 24/7 polling. It's a decent sandbox for screwing around with a server without getting involved in a full blown development machine. Reply
patters - Saturday, June 15, 2013 - linkThis model is the first product to use an ARMv7 processor (Marvell Armada 370 SoC), and the FPU is a significant speed bump for these entry level units. I have updated my third party packages for Java, Serviio, and CrashPlan to support it, by cross compiling the various native dependencies:

On December 10, 2010, a US court sentenced convicted terrorist Mohammed Junaid Babar, 35, to time served. Khan was one of four suicide bombers that targeted London on July 7, 2005. Three suicide bombers targeted the subway system, while the fourth detonated his bomb aboard a double-decker bus. The bombers, aged between 18 and 30, killed 52 people and injured more than 770.

Sometime before the football games are watched, and the turkey and stuffing and pies are consumed this Thanksgiving Day, take a few minutes to read this extraordinary speech, extraordinary for what it says about your Marines, your Armed Forces, and your Country, and even more extraordinary for what it does not say.
The speech talks about the patriotic youth who answer the call to serve their country. The general discusses in detail the deaths of two Marine heroes for whom he posthumously recommended the Navy Cross. As you read the speech, you will find that it does not mention anything about the death of 1stLt Robert Kelly, USMC, who lost his life in Afghanistan just four days earlier, on November 9, 2010. This speech was delivered on November 13, 2010, by LtGen Kelly, his father.
1stLt Kelly was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, November 22, 2010.
This purportedly is a book report written by a school child (probably a boy). The source for this piece is unknown, but it has the ring of truth.
On October 1, 2010, Daniel Pipes published this rather lengthy monologue on his blog: http://www.danielpipes.org/8913/two-decades-rushdie-rules. Mr. Pipes is director of the Middle East Forum, Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, and a columnist at National Review. He delivered an earlier version of this text on receiving an award from the Danish Free Speech Society.
This monologue is so important, I believe, that it needs the widest possible dissemination. Mr. Pipes graciously granted permission for reproduction of his words on TDH.
When Murphy is out and about, there is little you can do about it – especially when you're in an inflatable kayak shooting the Salmon River rapids.
From white water rafting and jet boating the rapids, to hunting, fishing, horseback photography or backpacking tours, climbing, skiing, diving – think of it, and you probably can find it in or near the Lewis-Clark Valley.

Those of us who are unequivocally willing to follow the data, there appears to be virtually no chance that humans have affected global climate.
This report comes from primary sources - Naval Surface Warfare Center Norfolk and Special Operations Command Tampa. The writer has a point of view, and the report is not "official." Nevertheless, it presents a very interesting and different story of the incident off the Somali coast.
In its most concerned and strongly worded press release to date, the Space and Science Research Center, (SSRC) today issued the following grim assessment of the impact of the planned Obama administration climate change policies on the citizens of the US and the world.

Did you know?
The Calvinia-Williston area is home to the lively and newly revived Nama Riel folk dance.
Our journey in the upper Karoo begins in a tiny Anglican church in Victoria West, as we gaze up at the stained-glass windows.
Some of the images displayed portray scenes from a devastating flood that hit the small Northern Cape town in 1871. More than 60 people were killed when a wall of water, following a typical Karoo cloudburst, rushed down the gorge where Victoria West stands. Of the victims, 21 were revellers dancing at Quirk's Hotel that night.
We check in at Die Pophuis Hoekie ('the doll's house corner') self-catering cottages along the main street. If it is springtime the daisies will be out in full profusion, lining the sidewalks and adding even more flair to the Victorian-era buildings.
The next morning we leave for Loxton, which is about 80km away. This little sheep-farming centre has a special charm, and comes complete with water furrows and donkey carts meandering in the streets. Apart from being a favoured Karoo hideaway for Capetonians, Loxton is also the official headquarters of the Riverine Rabbit Working Group, which is trying to manage and save the highly endangered and last few hundred riverine rabbits still living in the region.
We take a long lunch at Die Rooi Granaat ('the red pomegranate') and, goodness, look at the time! We were going to drive up to Carnarvon this afternoon, but best we stay over in Loxton and leave in the morning. So we check in at one of the many self-catering cottages in the town and enjoy a braai (barbecue) under the Karoo stars.
The next day we're in Carnarvon before lunch, even though we took our sweet time getting up. There are some special places in Carnarvon, including the local museum with its reconstructed corbelled house. There's also the Blikkies (Tins) Bar in the local hotel, where we'll have a drink completely surrounded by wall-to-wall beer tins. There's a jukebox in the corner and we'll play a couple of classics before moving on.
Carnarvon's main attraction, although access is restricted at present, is the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope field about 80km away. Once built, it will be the world's biggest telescope complex – a very exciting coup for South Africa and its space scientists. You can book a tour there and it's well worth it, but be sure to go in advance as they don't run every day.
After an interesting night on a nearby farm, where we sleep in an original corbelled house built sometime in the mid-1800s, we head for Williston, nearly 120km to the west.
Lunchtime finds us at the humorously named Williston Mall, wandering about the junk-art displays, the little bookshop and curio stalls. We have lunch here, and the pudding consists of the very special Williston Milkshake.
Williston is the site of the annual Williston Winter Festival, where people of all cultures come together to feast and dance.
After a night spent in Williston, we continue to our last point on this route: Calvinia. This is another of those attractive, energetic little Karoo towns where many residents are tourism-savvy. We stay in one of the Hantam Huis cottages and spend the afternoon behind cameras at the local flower reserve, getting up close and personal with daisies. It just doesn't get any better than this...

Breast Cancer Symposium
September 11, 2012
A new simulation study indicates that women with stage II breast cancer who have a high risk of the cancer remaining in their axillary (underarm) lymph nodes after treatment, called residual nodal disease, may benefit from having these lymph nodes removed in a procedure called an axillary lymph node dissection. Women who have more cancerous lymph nodes in the underarm generally have a higher risk of residual nodal disease. Cancer in this area is found through a sentinel lymph node biopsy. A sentinel lymph node biopsy is the removal of one or a few lymph nodes in the underarm to look for cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, additional treatment may be needed.
In this study, researchers pulled together information from previous studies on women with stage II breast cancer to estimate the risk of residual nodal disease in the axillary lymph nodes, lymphedema (swelling of the arm), and quality of life after having either a lumpectomy with radiation therapy or a lumpectomy with radiation therapy and an axillary lymph node dissection. A lumpectomy is the removal of the tumor and some of the surrounding tissue during an operation.
Through this simulation, researchers found that 38% of the women with a high estimated risk (about 30% to 60% of women) of residual nodal disease who have lumpectomy plus radiation therapy would live at least 20 years after diagnosis, compared with 42% of those who also have an axillary lymph node dissection. Researchers were also able to show that women with a high estimated risk of the disease returning have a better quality of life for longer when axillary lymph node dissection is added to treatment.
What this means for patients
"This simulation may help inform what options doctors discuss with their patients and give doctors a basis for considering axillary lymph node surgery for patients with a high risk of recurrence in the axillary lymph nodes," said lead author Monica Shalini Krishnan, MD, a resident in the Harvard Radiation Oncology Residency Program. Talk with your doctor about the procedures you need to learn more about the cancer, and what the results may mean for your treatment and recovery.
Questions to ask your doctor
- What type of breast cancer do I have? What is the stage?
- What are my treatment options?
- What is the risk of the disease returning?
- What were the results of my sentinel lymph node biopsy? What do the results mean?
- Will an axillary lymph node dissection be needed? What are the risks and benefits?

DETROIT - In a special election on Wednesday, early election results showed voters decided Republican Kerry Bentivolio will face off against a Democrat in November to serve the rest of Thaddeus McCotter's term.
McCotter resigned from his 11th Congressional District seat after failing to get enough valid signatures to appear on the ballot. Members of his campaign are facing charges for an alleged petition-rigging scandal.
Bentivolio had the lead Wednesday night over four other Republicans on Wednesday's ballot to appear on the November ballot. If he wins, he will face the lone Democrat, David Curson. Wayne County's website offered unofficial results Wednesday night.
The official winner has yet to be decided. An Oakland County spokesman said no results are official until 5 p.m. Thursday. They have until then to count military ballots.
Whoever wins in November will serve in the U.S. House of Representatives for the remainder of former congressman McCotter's term.
A separate contest on the Nov. 6 ballot decided who fills the seat in 2013-2014. Ex-teacher Bentivolio faces Democratic Canton Township Trustee Syed Taj in that race.

If There's a CamelLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Every year during his birthday, the Sultan sponsors 3 camel races with the following prizes (listed in order 1st, 2nd, 3rd):
$500 bonus for winning all 3 Races. (SLAM)
$200 bonus for winning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in any one Race (SWEEP).
ALI BOBO tells you that he owns the 3rd ("Aluminum"), 6th("Boron"), and 9th("Copper") fastest camels. He concedes that KAREEM owns the 1st, 4th, and 7th fastest camels, while SHARIF has the 2nd, 5th, and 8th fastest entries. There are other owners but with far inferior camels.
The Rules
a. Maximum 3 camels per owner.
b. A camel can run only in one race.
c. An owner may enter his camels all in one race or distribute them as he desires.
Last year ALI BOBO's camels won third place in each of the 3 Races. His gross winnings amounted to $225.
ALI BOBO wants a risk-free strategy to increase his total winnings.
QUESTION: What should be ALI BOBO's strategy?
HintSometimes we must sacrifice some battles to win the war.
AnswerAli Bobo must enter Copper in Race A, Aluminum in Race B, and Boron in Race C.
1. Kareem defends his Slam and fields his camels in RACES A,B, and C according to their speed. Shariff follows that same strategy.
ALI's Aluminum will win in Race B over the K(4th) and S(5th). Boron will win in Race C over K(7th) and S(8th). Copper will still place 3rd in Race A. Total Winnings $500.
2. Kareem defends his SLAM. Shariff follows Ali's strategy.
Aluminum will place second to S(2nd) in Race B. Boron will place second to S(5th) in Race C. Copper will place third to K(1st) and S(8th). Total winnings: $350.
3. Kareem loses his mind and does not go for the grand slam. He enters his 3 camels in Race A. Shariff follows his strategy in Scenario 1.
Copper will not win anything in Race A. Aluminum will win in Race B. Boron will win in Race C. Winnings: $400.
4. Same as Scenario 3 but Shariff has same strategy as Ali.
Copper loses in Race A. Aluminum places second in Race B. Boron places second in Race C. Winnings $250.
5. Kareem camels all in Race A. Shariff's all in race B.
Copper loses in Race A. Aluminum still places second in Race B. Boron wins in Race C. Winnings $300.
6. Kareem defends his slam. Shariff camels all in race B.
Copper will place second in Race A. Aluminum will still be second in Race B. Boron will win over K(7th) Winnings:$600.
7. Kareem and Shariff has same strategy as Ali.
Copper will be third, Aluminum will be third. Boron will be third. Winnings:$225. Same as last year.
There are other scenarios but with the strategy with the worst case scenario for Ali is $225.

SPRING, Texas - Investigators said a driver shot after a bar fight crashed into a northwest Harris County AT&T store.
It started around 1:45 a.m. Friday when a man and woman were asked to leave the Lord Loudouns Pub at 4660 Louetta near Kuykendahl.
When they left, officers said they got into a Hyundai and the man driving tried to run over some people in the parking lot. Two people pulled out guns and shot at the driver four to six times, police said.
The driver, Ross Warax, 24, was hit and took off, driving in the wrong direction on Louetta, authorities said. The man collapsed and crashed into an AT&T store about a 1/4 mile away, where he was pronounced dead.
According to officials, the man's female passenger, who was kicked out of the bar with him, suffered minor injuries from the accident and was transported to a hospital in stable condition.
Authorities interviewed 10 to 15 witnesses at the scene.
"We are conducting this as a homicide investigation. We have identified two subjects that may have been discharging their firearm down there," said Sgt. Ben Beall with the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Jamal Turner, 22, and Chad Kilpatrick, 23, has been arrested and charged with murder.

NRL chief executive Dave Smith cancelled a trip to Newcastle on Friday to announce the new Knights entity after an unexpected 11th-hour delay.
Fairfax Media was told on Thursday night that Smith would appear at a press conference at the Wests Mayfield club on Friday to discuss the end of Nathan Tinkler's reign and the handover to new management, to be run by the NRL for an interim period.
The function was cancelled about 10am on Friday.
Both the NRL and Knights Members Club were happy for the media briefing to proceed but Tinkler's Hunter Sports Group – which had reportedly agreed to all terms and conditions more than a week ago – were still perusing documents one last time. ''It's disappointing,'' one source said. The delay is mystifying, given that NRL head of club services Tony Crawford said last week the NRL and HSG had ''agreed on a package which would make the Knights financially secure'' and HSG chief executive Troy Palmer said eight days ago: ''The NRL and HSG have been agreed for weeks.''
The process of removing Tinkler, the Knights' first private owner, kicked off almost three months ago when Fairfax Media revealed he was struggling to raise a mandatory $10.52 million bank guarantee. After protracted negotiations to remove HSG, the NRL has elected to assume control of the franchise until a new owner can be sourced.
Eight months ago Newcastle travelled to Sydney to face the Roosters in a preliminary final. On Saturday, the Knights make the journey down the M1 with virtually no prospect of finishing in the top eight, a devastating fall from grace for Wayne Bennett's side.

The sweetness of the cake, are just nice, no need to cut down the sugar.
I adapted this recipe from 100道小蛋糕 . This recipe called for a small tin, (18cmx8cmx6cm), but I used slightly big (23cmx8cmx8cm). So I made 1 1/2 half recipe.
Ingredients:( for small 18cmx8cmx6cm)
15 gm butter ,let it soft at room temperature
55 gm oreo
150 gm Cream Cheese
50 gm caster sugar
85 gm whipping cream
1 tsp flour
1 egg yolk
Method :
Use a roller pin and a plastic bag, finely crush the oreo.
Mix butter with crushed oreo. Set aside.
Line the tin with aluminium floil.
Beat cream cheese & sugar over double boiler , till smooth.
Add in whipping cream & cream well.
Take off from the heat, add in egg yolk & flour, mix well.
Spread mixed (A) onto the bottom of the prepared tin.
Pour in cream cheese mixture , top it with the remaining oreo.
Cover with aluminium floil and bake in preheated oven 180 C for 30 minutes.
Cool on wire rack, and chilled in fridge before serving.
Crush the oreo this way, safe time, and it gives the oreo crust more crunchy.
Mix in the butter. No need to melt the butter, just leave the butter to room temperature till soft.
Line the tin.
Beat cream cheese and sugar over double boiler till smooth, and no more lumps.
Top with the remaining oreo.
Ready to bake.
And thanks to Amelia for the lovely award.

yes, indeed, it is a partition problem.
One question: Do you get the menu screen? (The Operating System screen: BT4, Memory Test, etc)?
You have 2 solutions:
1. If you get to the menu, you can use the grub console by typing "e" at menu...You will get a prompt: >, now you are in the grub console...Now start to repair the grub.
2. Use a live cd and mount partition (USB) and then fix grub.
Please, post if you get to the menu screen...As I said you have 2 options...
Hope it helps

CABCHARGE is heading for a ''second strike'' at this week's shareholders meeting, with investor advocates and proxy advisers recommending investors vote down its remuneration report for a second time. But no one is pushing for a spill of the board despite some scathing assessments of governance and pay practices at the company.
The Australian Shareholders Association and proxy adviser CGI Glass Lewis have recommended that investors vote against all resolutions at the shareholders meeting, including the re-election of company founder and executive chairman, Reg Kermode.
Another proxy adviser, Ownership Matters, has recommended against the remuneration report and the re-election of director Neill Ford but supported the re-election of the 85-year-old Mr Kermode.
None of the parties is recommending at this stage that shareholders vote to spill the board if the second strike is triggered by a vote of more than 25 per cent against the remuneration report. ''In our view, spilling the board is an option of last resort,'' said CGI. The proxy adviser said it would only consider this after it has made three consecutive recommendations against a company's remuneration report. ''In the event of three strikes and the lack of material improvements to the board, remuneration committee or remuneration practices, we will then consider spilling the board at the next available opportunity.''
The ASA said it was ''strongly minded'' to support a motion to spill the board ''if only to trigger a process that might generate some long-overdue board renewal and governance reform at Cabcharge'' but would listen to debate and make up its mind on the day.
The lone standout in favour of Cabcharge's board is ISS proxy advisers, which has recommended investors vote for all resolutions, and against any resolution to spill the board. A vote for the remuneration report was warranted, said ISS, ''as the company has provided additional detail on the various elements of its remuneration philosophy and practices, and there is prima facie evidence that the STI targets are robust''.
Cabcharge has not paid any short-term bonuses over the last two years.
Not helping the investor mood would be the fact that shares are now trading at levels not seen since August last year. The stock has plunged more than 20 per cent this month after the company's public transport joint venture lost two bus contracts in metropolitan Sydney.
The Victorian taxi industry will soon conclude an inquiry that could slash the service-fee charges that are the core of Cabcharge's business.
''Cabcharge's group earnings are exceedingly sensitive to changes in the service fee it charges,'' said UBS analyst Martin Byers.
''Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 1.0 per cent change in the effective service fee equates to an 11.7 per cent change in service fee income and a 5.1 per cent change in group earnings per share.''

Pronunciation: têr-dê-form • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Shaped like a thrush; resembling a thrush.
Notes: I am really very cleanIf you would feel a little awkward using this Good Word in conversations with your friends, there are two other variants with the same meaning, turdoid and turdine. All these adjectives can also mean "belonging to the family turdus," as do the song-thrush (Turdus musicus), Santa's favorite, the mistletoe thrush (Turdus viscivorus), and others. If you are a genuine thrush-fancier, you will want to keep your thrushes in a specially constructed turdarium. However, if you put other varieties in with your thrushes, you can't call it that any more.
In Play: This is a good word with which to attract attention to yourself in discussions with bird-watchers: "I saw an interesting little turdiform flyer in my backyard yesterday but it was green and pileated. Have any idea what it might have been?" The many types of birds that resemble thrushes provide plenty of work for today's word: "Do you happen to know the name of the lovely little turdiform creature sitting on the birdfeeder right now?"
Word History: This rather startling word comes from a Latin compound based on turdus "thrush" + forma "form". The root of turdus started out as *trozdos "thrush", but the [r] and the vowel metathesized, i.e. changed places, in Latin. In Germanic languages these two sounds held their positions and produced English thrush, German Drossel "thrush", with the diminutive suffix -el, and the Russian word, drozd "thrush".
–Dr. Goodword, Alpha Dictionary
"I do hereby comdemn this unfortunate word to the forgotten annals of that particular branch of biology called ornithology. Let this word neither be seen nor heard outside the bounds of that specialized scientific study of birds!
Sitran Apoclima, May 31, 2005"
Thrushlike works just fine for me!

Bernie Mac dies of pneumonia (1957 – 2008)
Comedian Bernie Mac passed away Saturday morning from pneumonia. Earlier last week, it was reported he would make a full recovery despite have been previously diagnosed with sarcoidosis a disease that affects the immune system. Sadly, Bernie didn't pull through. People reports:
"[He] passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his rep, Danica Smith, told PEOPLE. "No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family's privacy continues to be respected."
It was later revealed Bernie's hospitalization was more serious than it was reported. He was put into intensive care a full week before the media was aware of his health problems which were played down to protect his family's privacy, according to People:
The sister-in-law says Mac's inflammatory lung disease contributed to his death. "He had sarcoidosis, but it was in remission," she says. "But because he had it, his immune system was compromised. He had an infection … He was on a new medication that suppresses the immune system, and that's where the pneumonia came from."
She reveals that Mac – having trouble breathing and running a fever – was actually hospitalized on July 24, eight days before the date given for his admittance. The actor was diagnosed with pneumonia and immediately placed on a ventilator.
Bernie Mac is survived by his wife Rhonda of 30 years and their daughter Je'Niece who were at his bedside when he passed. 'Merica, we lost a good one. Rest in Peace, Bernie.

5,000 Digital Marketers invade Utah for Adobe's Digital Marketing Summit
From March 6th to 8th, 5,000 digital marketers, a world record holder, a Grammy nominated band, the world's leading marketing experts, an innovative educator, the creative genius behind Portlandia and an American Idol descended upon Salt Lake City, Utah for the Adobe Digital Marketing Summit.
Day 2
As people settled into the main halls for day two's opening keynote – some still feeling the effects of the previous night's Bash – the second day's presentation took on a much different tone. Whereas the first day's keynote was to shock and awe, the second day's opening keynote was to inspire and push people to take risks.
The overall theme of the keynote was "Taking the Leap" which was perfectly embodied by the first guest speaker, Felix Baumgartner. Baumgartner is the skydiver who, in October 2012, set the world record for the highest jump and first person ever to break the sound barrier assisted only by gravity. Baumgartner discussed his experience leading up to his record shattering jump and the need for people / organizations to push the boundaries and venture into the unknown.
While Baumgartner represented taking the leap literally, the second guest speaker approached it from a more metaphorical angle. Sal Khan, the founder of the Khan Academy – a nonprofit with the mission of providing free, high-quality education to "anyone, anywhere" in the world – spoke of the formation of his organization as a way tutoring his cousins online and his decision to take the leap and leave the life of a hedge fund analyst to dedicate himself to his cause full time.
Khan's speech was filled with humour and pulled on the heart strings of all those attending, reinforcing the idea that there's potential in the world and that we just need to give people the tools to tap into it. At the end of the speech, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause giving Khan a much deserved standing ovation.
Feeling inspired by the morning's keynote and ready to take the world by the horns, the crowd broke off into another day of breakout sessions.
The end of day two wrapped on a comedic note. The Summit's closing keynote offered attendees sneak peeks at digital marketing applications Adobe will be rolling out in the next six to twelve months. The keynote was co-hosted by Portlandia creator and star, Carrie Brownstein, who delivered an irony soaked soliloquy on wry (pun intended), discussing the general love/hate relationship most people have with social media.
As the sun set on the second day, the Summit again took on the appearance of a concert with the Depot After Dark party. Summit goers converged at Salt Lake City's famous Depot, to be entertained by live music and karaoke.
About an hour into the party, Adobe's Matt Langie, Director of Product Marketing, joined the band on stage, announcing his attempt to cover Led Zepplin. Thankfully, after about two seconds into his debut performance, Matt confessed that he would not be able to do the song justice and instead brought out a friend who was better equipped to deal with the task – American Idol winner, Taylor Hicks.
Day 3
With the formal portion of the event over, Adobe decided to end the Digital Marketing Summit on a high note. The final day was dedicated to fun in the sun and snow with 5,000 marketers invading Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah for Adobe's ski day.
While the first day focused on celebrating how far the digital marketing industry and tools have come, the second day looked at where the industry could go. Adobe Sneaks offered a glimpse of the next stage in the Marketing Cloud's evolution and Felix Baumgartner and Sal Khan both reinforced the idea that the only way to reach the top/summit is to take risks.

DICE has detailed the upcoming title update for Battlefield 4 launching in September.
I'd really appriciate a better update schedule. For CTE improvements foremost. It's been months now that i've seen medic revive "count downs" and better character models not going full seizure when shot.
Come on already i was intiated on the 4th floor, i deserve better then this.
How about we fix how every time I leave a lobby my classes get reset to an earlier set? That would be great DICE
Anyone else feel as if they dropped the ball with this game? I've sunk a lot of hours into and found it a blast but those days when it didn't seem to run well sure took away from the experience.
PC gamers can play this game for free for one week
So .... anyone else disliking the mystical red dot never moving easy kill sights? If I wanted that I'd play COD.

When I was a child, I can remember wondering about all kinds of seemingly insoluble questions. Why am I here? Where was I before I was born? How could I come from not existing at all to being a real person? If my parents had not married, would I have existed in someone else's body, as the child of other parents?
If the world and the universe was created, what existed before it? Nothing? How could nothing exist? How could there be no things, and no time? Is all of this a cruel joke, or is it an ineffable mystery? One of my favorite problems had to do with colors. What if what we both agree is green looks different to you and me? Could one person's red be another person's purple? I wasn't talking about color blindness, as my father always assumed; I was talking about people who could differentiate colors who nevertheless perceived them differently.
I remember pondering some questions of existence along these lines one day while riding in the car. I can still remember exactly where I was when it all overwhelmed me, and I felt overcome with a dazzling confusion. An eight-year-old runs out of words for these kinds of things quickly, but we might just consider that honesty, as opposed to an adult who can go on for a bit longer without really saying anything.
Few of the clergy and none of the school teachers are interested in questions like this, and so I went years without realizing that there is a whole body of work that deals with the ultimate—or, if you wish, fundamental—questions. I speak, of course, of philosophy. As a graduate of a music conservatory, my only class in this lasted a mere semester, and it wasn't very good, at that. But it did introduce me to thinkers like Plato and Aristotle and Augustine—even Erasmus (a loveable fellow) and Luther. And after I got over my hatred of the course work (when the class was over, obviously), I developed a delight in delving into these volumes.
Over the years I picked up a spotty self-education in philosophy and religion, with lots of gaping holes and little systematic understanding. Until two weeks ago. I was in Baltimore and stumbled upon a used book store, which—like most used book stores—had an ample philosophy section, compliments of the incurious who are eager to dump old required reading from college. Among other things, I picked up Richard Tarnas's book, The Passion of the Western Mind, which covers the whole of Western thought from pre-Socratic Greece up until its publication in the early 1990's. I've been looking for something like this for awhile, something good in which the author does not have an ax to grind and in which he does not, once he gets to modern times, go down obscure rabbit holes while trying to pass them off as the whole of contemporary thought. Tarnas's book is such a work.
This book possesses one of the foremost hallmarks of greatness, which is the invisibility of the author. It is as if you're reading directly from Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas. I think this has something to do with Tarnas's genuine curiosity. While he intimates that he does not agree with the thinking of Medieval Christianity, he nevertheless gives it quite a fair hearing and urges the reader to understand the importance of knowing what people like Aquinas really said, so that we can better appreciate what came later, particularly the work of William of Occam and the epistemological conundrum that the West found itself in once reason and revelation were separated. This problem led to the work of Descartes and the debate between the English empiricists and the Continental rationalists and culminated—for a short time—in the synthesizing work of Immanuel Kant.
Two things dawned on me while reading all of this. First, there is not a thought or a question that you or I have ever had that was not considered centuries, if not millenia, ago. We have been wrestling with the same angels and demons in the night for our entire history, and one idea comes into ascendence as another fades away. There is not much originality in the world; the scale of our thought only has so many notes. Second, it seems that philosophers, as much as I love them, often stake out opposite but equally ridiculous positions in a given debate. Those who try to come up with something more reasonable or nuanced are often ignored. Etienne Gilson, in his book Reason and Revelation in the Middle Ages, discusses Thomas Aquinas's attempted compromise between the Latin Averroeists, who were ultimately rationalists, and the mystics in the thirteenth century. Aquinas was ignored, thanks to the inroads the Averroeists had made, and this resulted ultimately, for better or worse, in the divide between science and religion.
But it is not just a problem of philosophical stubbornness or extremism that causes this. As we think and write and question, it seems as if we're going around in circles around a great big hole, an empty space where truth seems to reside and which will tolerate no description in words. Our attempts to get there only lead to distortion and confusion. The musical scale of our thought, as it were, must be translated into a new mode, and from what place will these New Songs come?
Does this mean that philosophy is a waste of time? I don't think so. To approach even the unanswerable questions makes us more human, if only because it makes us more humble. We don't know as much as we think we do, and philosophers are usually the first to admit that, the folksy protestations of the pragmatic notwithstanding. This confrontation with the ineffable is precisely what makes philosophy a passion, in both senses of the word: It is a love affair, but it is also a suffering. Even today, borrowing from St. Paul, humanity groans as it tries to give birth to a fuller understanding of what it means to exist. There is, in my opinion, only one disastrous outcome possible—that we cease our labors and begin to live as animals, witless participants in a technologically-advanced dark age of stupidity.
One cannot write, or read for that matter, a history of Western thought without wondering where we go from here. Tarnas puts a lot of stock in the idea of a collective conscious and in the reuniting of male and female which he shows has been a recent theme in many spheres. He's surely no cultural traditionalist, but I don't think this idea should be dismissed out of hand. In Christ, St. Paul said, there is neither male nor female. Maybe this has eschatological and not just evangelical meaning. Angels have no gender. Think, too, of all the ancient texts that intimate that the sexes grew separately out of the same source. There are, of course, crazy people who would put all boys on Ritalin if they could so they behaved more like girls, but I don't believe this is what Tarnas is aiming for. He's on another plane entirely. If I tried to sum up his position I would likely do it some violence, so just read the book, and allow yourself to wonder along with the author.
Every commentator has his favorite hobby horse when it comes to theories about what it is that ails modern society. Maybe the good news is that they all seem to agree that society is ailed. This is a start. I myself am unmoved for the most part by drug use, teen pregnancy, wars, violence, and the like. They should be eliminated, yes, but they are nothing new. What troubles me is the fundamental shift in what knowledge is considered to be. You are thought educated these days if you can perform brain surgery but few believe it to be essential to be curious about what the first cause of the material world is. We will not cease to feel homeless—and therefore prone to all manner of self-destructive behaviors—until we can at least begin to be curious about these ultimate questions. Many philosophy books are dry, and so the undergraduate careerist shirks them off and takes them to the used book store. But Tarnas's book is anything but boring and has the power to stir up the enthusiasm of even the most rotten materialist. Whoever gave this book to the used book store was a fool.

I have thought of a few good tactics, such as Safe Guard and Outrage/Petal Dance/Thrash (avoids confusion ailment) Mimic and Imprison (permanent Disables last move) Swagger/Flatter and Psych Up/Haze (either gives you upped stats or resets theirs) Defense Curl followed by Roll Out (makes roll out stronger) Rain Dance and Thunder (Thunder never misses) Belly Drum and Rest (works best with a chesto berry. Maximizes attack) Sunny Day and Solar Beam (solar beam no longer needs to charge) Endure and Flail/Reversal (makes the attack moves really strong compared to normal) What are some of the best move combos that you have found so far? :D Explain your choices, and why they make good combos.

Heal Pulse Earthquake Set one Strategy: Here is how you use it Start up with a use Taunt Attack to Make the opponent use offensive moves for sure, Then, use a Feather Dance to lower it's Attack, After that, use a Sucker Punch that is sure to hit, (With alot of Power!). Roost is to heal all the damage it's taken while doing this. Keep doing this for Ultimate power! Try out an Metronome or a Leftovers as an item. Set two Strategy: Heal Pulse Just in-case team-mate needs help. Mean Look Keeps the opponent from switching out & ruining this combo.

Zoroark/Life Orb EVs: 252 special attack, 252 speed, 4 HP Nature: timid Ability: illusion Moves: Nasty plot (boosts for sweeping) Dark pulse (STAB, more reliable than night daze) Focus blast Hidden power ice (coverage) The trick here is that you set up your team so that zoroark will be disguised as a Toxicroak, which is pretty much the perfect pokemon for zoroark to look like. With toxicroak's 4X weakness to psychic, and zoroark's immunity to it, you are often able to set up with nasty plot and use dark pulse to belt the fool who switched in with a psychic type. Also, HP ice covers all of toxicroak's non-psychic weaknesses, effectively murdering anything that switches in on zoroark for what they believe is a type advantage. One more thing that makes this strategy ruthless is that Toxicroak can learn all of the moves in this set, leaving less suspicion as to whether it is an actual Toxicroak. answered Aug 29, 2012 by the_netts edited Aug 29, 2012 by the_netts Dude, that's a Toxicroak....... commented Aug 29, 2012 by Pokemod3 You already have one person fooled it seems.

Have one Pokemon such as charizard with belly drum and max speed. Then have another polemon with follow me holding focus sash That gives Bellyzard a chance to use belly drum then use a powerfully move next turn without the chance of being killed the first turn unless the foes quiker. Then Bellyzard uses moves such as earthquake paired up with a flying or levitating Pokemon. These two could work alright i would recomend if using this strat to have maybe two follow me pokemon one for setup and one such as Togekiss that can support charizard on low health as well as dodge its earthquakes. Other pokemon work well. answered Mar 15, 2012 by Blobyolo edited Mar 15, 2012 by Blobyolo pokemon not polemon commented Apr 29, 2012 by CRAZED Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes Double Battle Strategy: Use This With A Poke'mon That Knows Spite.

(Only for use in double battles) Ok so looking back at this strategie it works similar to Pikas idea where you spam surf with Gastrodon, just this is an idea thats leading off from my bum bait idea and this hits twice as hard. Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd (394 SAtk and 339 Spd) Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd) - Eruption - Flamethrower - Earth Power - Dragon Pulse Typhlosion (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd (317 SAtk and 439 Speed) Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Eruption - Flamethrower - Extrasensory - Hidden Power [Ice] Okay a Flamethrower from a Heatran hurts but an Eruption is deadly and as is Typhlosions. So Typhlosion uses Eruption unfortunatly it gets reduced by 25% (Because of new gen5 double battle mechanics) but it is still dealing deadly damage thanks to stab and its sheer power. This will hit all pokemon very hard already even taking around 25% off pokemon resisting it and the fact that it hits the whole field is a plus because not only are you hitting 2 opponents very hard but you also are giving Heatran a free 50% boost on its next move. Now you have managed to suvive an Eruption from a Typhlosion with 317 SAtk now can you take an Eruption from a Heatran with 394 SAtk as well as having a 50% boost on a stab attack with 112 base power (Stupid new double battle mechanics) alowing it to deal super effective damage on a neutral effected pokemon. Heatran is also scarfed making this couple a very hard double team to take down and if you manage that you will possibly loose many pokemon as the result. But it can be countered but if you alow it to take your first two pokemon you have a few problems. This is because now typhlosion gets a boost for its next eruption. (Note that when using the Heatran set it is using quiet as that is the only compatible nature with Heatran that can leagally abuse Eruption) Ok so Cresselia is common in double battles and posses no threat to the strat so its a good example. Typhlosions(first Eruption on a calm 252 Hp 252 SDef) 21.8% - 25.9% Heatrans(Now has flash fire boost) 40.8% - 48.2% Okay now ive given you them stats you may be thinking thats rubbish but this Cresselia is the best special wall from Ou and down excluding Blissey and Chansey who are never used in double battles. Heatran (Now on standard Zapdos) 124.6% - 147% Remember that Zapdos has good SDef. But nothing will suvive 3 Eruptions and ecen if they do there is over a 70% chance of a burn to finish them off but i doubt anything will suvive more than two. Its good to use these pokemon as leads to avoid the uncommon rocks but ive been using them later on in the team a sive been using sun which brings there power to insane levels, but does decrease the chance of them being on the field at full hp at the same time. answered Jul 5, 2012 by Blobyolo Interesting... But don't forget E-Quake!!! commented Jul 9, 2012 by XtremeKiller Wait....Heatran.... Quiet and Scarfed? You mean Timid, right? commented Jul 9, 2012 by Mewderator Just have to say, add Sun. commented Jul 9, 2012 by trachy Palkia and Kyogre will dominate this, but it's pretty cool! AFter all, all combos have their counters... commented Jul 9, 2012 by XtremeKiller Only quiet heatran can learn eruption, thanks to TrollFreak commented Oct 17, 2012 by MiniNinetales Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes OK, this is pretty ballsy, but i think it could be fun. This is a Double Battle Strategy!! First, you get Exeggutor with Harvest & then your choice of Groudon or Ninetales(Drought). Exeggutor (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Harvest EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Skill Swap - SolarBeam - Stun Spore - Psychic Ninetales (M) @ Custap Berry Trait: Drought EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd IVs: 0 HP 0 Def 0 SpDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Endure - Dark Pulse - Flamethrower - SolarBeam Groudon @ Custap Berry Trait: Drought EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd IVs: 0 HP 0 Def 0 SpDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Endure - Hammer Arm - Stone Edge - Earthquake So here is what you do: You send out Exeggutor and, for now, Ninetales. Ninetales uses Endure while Exeggutor uses Skill Swap on Ninetales(weather is already set up, so it won't matter.) Now, Ninetales has Harvest. Most likely, people want to take out weather leads, so it is knocked down to 1 HP or whatever as long as it is below 25%. Exeggutor is done. Now, next turn, Ninetales' Custap Berry will activate allowing it to go first. With Harvest, it will get the berry back every turn(as long as it is Sunny). Give it any attacks you think are good. BEWARE OF PRIORITY!! This can work on any Pokemon that can learn Endure. I just chose Ninetales & Groudon because of the instant sun. So if you choose a non-Drought Pokemon, setup sun beforehand. Try using a Pokemon with low overall bulk. Groudon might not work too well because of his natural bulk, but hey. answered Jul 6, 2012 by 5th of November edited Aug 29, 2012 by Pokemaster I like that Ninetales has Flash Fire :P commented Jul 6, 2012 by Mewderator Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes Good for stealing other teams advantages 1.Have a pokemon that has skill swap 2.You just so happened to run into a rain/hail/sand storm/sun team 3.wait until he switches some of his pokemon that can gain stats in certain weathers like swift swim/sand rush/snow cloak/solar power 4.use skill swap and BAM!! you ended up getting the advantage The chances of success are very low but higher in certain tiers like NU NOTE:make sure the pokemon with skill swap can take some hit just in case their pokemon is faster than you and can hit hard answered Jul 8, 2012 by A Very Nice Guy Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes Have a pokemon with pickpocket such as weavile hold a rare bone (100 fling damage) and teach it fling. You use fling and then there is a good chance that you pickpocket the foe's item, letting either reuse fling, or keep it if it is beneficial, or does very little fling damage. answered Jul 8, 2012 by the_netts Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes Encore + Torment.

COCOA, Fla. - Cocoa police officers have given the all-clear at Cambridge Elementary Magnet School nearly two hours after a staff member reported seeing two suspicious men dressed in camouflage walking near the campus.
Police officers methodically checked the hallways, portables, school bus loops and the surrounding fence line before allowing the campus to reopen.
"When the school tech arrived (before sunrise), there were two men at the gate. It could have been two homeless men, but we don't know. We didn't find anyone," Cocoa police spokeswoman Barbara Matthews told Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
The suspicious incident was reported to Cocoa Police about 6:52 a.m., nearly an hour after a school technician first spotted the pair.
The technician first alerted Brevard County School District officials who called police about 45 minutes later, just as teachers and other faculty members began arriving at Cambridge Elementary Magnet School at 2000 Cambridge Drive, officials reported. There were some children in one of the classes and other students were kept on nearby buses, officials report.
The 550-student campus was ordered on lockdown as a precaution as several patrol officers arrived and began a canvass of the area surrounding the school grounds. Rockledge police and the Brevard County School District security office were also notified.

A "seller's market" for banks is shaping up in Arizona according to a new report by industry advisor Invictus Consulting Group LLC. Invictus says that 13 Arizona banks have too little capital and must or should sell, but that there is sufficient "Free Capital" among potential in-state buyers to make acquisitions.
"Free Capital is the chief measurement among regulators of a bank's capability to pursue strategies to increase returns or grow, and it fortunately is sufficiently available in Arizona," says Kamal Mustafa, Invictus founder and CEO, and a former head of M&A at Citibank.
Free Capital represents the difference between a bank's current capital and its stress tested capital, as measured by the institution's ability to survive a potential distressed economy over the next two years. Regulators will not approve strategic initiatives without a bank demonstrating sufficient Free Capital, regardless of the likelihood of a recession.
Invictus performs quarterly capital adequacy tests on the nation's 7,000-plus banks. Regarding Arizona banks, it found:
13, with low capital, low net interest margins and poor profitability that must or should sell. Invictus estimates the aggregate investment required to purchase these banks, after taking into account their post-stress position, at approximately $228 million.
13, with low returns but having $213 million in Free Capital. They are firms that must or should buy, and might be expected to seek acquisitions to improve growth and profitability.
4, with satisfactory returns and capital, are "wildcards." They don't have to sell or buy, but could consider acquisitions. They have Free Capital of approximately $62 million.
As a result, together — banks that should/must buy and those that don't need to do anything — Arizona banks have Free Capital totaling $275 million, or roughly 120% of the amount needed to acquire the must/should sell banks.
"Arizona has satisfactory in-state purchase capacity, as measured by Free Capital and relative to local banking industry needs, and is in much better shape than the national picture" says Mr. Mustafa. "As a rule, mergers among in-state banks generally offer the best opportunity for cost savings, and while Arizona banks could also turn to out-of-state buyers, they can be expected to make only modest bids. Consequently, Arizona banks considering a sale should do so now while the market is agreeable."
"Buyers and Bleeders"
The report, titled "Buyers and Bleeders," is an offshoot of Invictus's quarterly stress testing review of 7,000 plus banks within the US, and is focused on identifying institutions that have limited expansion options in the present regulatory and market conditions. Today, banks across the country are facing increased regulatory capital requirements, declining net interest margins and increased competition, leaving many with little prospect for organic growth, part of the reason for expectations of a wave of M&A activity in the banking community. The Invictus report separates them as:
· "Buyers," or those banks with low returns and excess capital, for which acquisitions are the principal option to increase size and returns.
· "Bleeders," or banks with limited capital and low returns. Barring unique capital-raising solutions, their relative performance and valuation will continue to deteriorate over time.
Invictus Approach in Line with Regulators
Invictus uses methodology similar to the stress testing requirements of the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and Capital Plan and Review (CapPR) processes, and Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III. As those programs have demonstrated, a bank's Free Capital as determined under severely adverse stress is the single greatest measure of its ability to reward shareholders, determine expansion strategy and achieve long-term viability.
The public version of the report can be accessed on www.invictusgrp.com. The report details the potential numbers of buyers and sellers and asset levels by state and regions, but not by individual names, and is not intended to be a comprehensive review of present or expected mergers and acquisitions activities in the marketplace.
Invictus clients, which include banks, hedge funds and investment banks, can access the detailed data upon which the report was based. Invictus can also perform custom analysis, screening and sorting of potential buyers and sellers on a geographic basis, and can calculate a potential acquisition's impact to the buyer's stressed tested earnings and capital levels.

First portion of the code shows like there's a bit of irq conflict or something to do on the hardware level.. Maybe google could yield more results.
Have you also tried bt3?
cd /etc/init.d
./networking start
it only show the lo and eth0 of local network
then i serch for the problem:
Code:$ dmesg | grep b43 b43-pci-bridge 0000:06:00.0: device not available because of BAR 0 [0x0-0x3fff] collisions b43-pci-bridge: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -22i run the firmware loader script at /usr/share/b43-fwcutter andCode:$ lspci | grep Broadcom 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
test again with modprobe and ./networking restart
and it is not working.
iwconfig and ifconfig wlan0 up and the other variants with no results.
First portion of the code shows like there's a bit of irq conflict or something to do on the hardware level.. Maybe google could yield more results.
Have you also tried bt3?
first of all give us the output of lspci -nn
I suspect this rev. 1 may be Broadcom 4312.which is not supported one.
if the PCI ID return is PCI ID 14e4:4315 then this card won't work & you need Ndiswrapper to function it for connecting in managed mode only.
I have exactly the same problem like described with the same output from dmesg, lspci
lspci -nn returns 14e4:4311
Does this mean this card is not supported? Are there some other workarounds than ndiswrapper?
Thanks in advance.
I've got BT4 Pre-Final, and I had that same message about b43 not available because of BAR 0. After I installed the broadcom STA (wl) package, I had no problems with connecting to the wireless networks, encrypted or otherwise. I do have to keep running wicd from a command line, and then the wicd-client from the internet menu.
Google Broadcom STA for the driver page.
One problem I am having, is doing anything with the wireless card, beyond simply connecting and browsing the net. If I issue mode monitor, i get the set failed error and cannot use the wireless connection without rebooting. If I use `airmon-ng start eth1`, I can't reconnect without rebooting. Using Kismet yields the same results. Just about anything I do, I can't get the interface to reconnect. I think it's not flushing the routing table, but not 100%. Anyway, just giving you a heads up. That package will work fine. Just follow the instructions on the readme.
Any suggestions on that reconnecting issue?

Some experts say voluntourism is something of a misnomer and should rather be called participatory tourism.
Voluntourism in South Africa sounds like one of those win-win scenarios.
As a traveller, you come out and work with orphans, or schools, or animals (for example). The institute and individuals you are helping benefit immensely from your efforts. And the money that you pay enables them to get important work done without having to find large budgets.
You, in turn, leave after a few weeks or months, knowing you have made a positive difference in the world, probably having gained invaluable experience that will help your sense of self or even your career.
The world, in some tiny way, is a better place.
But to make your voluntourism stint in South Africa a success for all concerned, here's some advice.
Before you even start looking for a reputable operator, give your voluntourist dreams plenty of thought. Define for yourself where you think you can most benefit other people or projects. Skills transfer, for example, is very highly prized.
But you should also be clear about what you want to gain from the experience.
Bear in mind that the longer you stay, the better your chances of making a meaningful difference. Most responsible volunteering operators recommend four to six weeks. More is better. If you have only two weeks to share, you will have to tailor your expectations, but can still make a valuable contribution (and have fun).
To find a reputable operator, ask around. Speak to previous voluntourists. Once you've decided on an operator, don't be afraid to ask questions. How much of your money will be going towards the actual project? Who runs the project? Where will you stay?
Make sure that your self-subsidised labour is not taking someone else's possible job. Also, carefully consider what your 'legacy' will be. For example, it's tempting to go and assist orphans for a month, but is it really helpful if they suffer separation anxiety after you leave?
Many problems can be avoided by choosing the right operator. In South Africa, seek out those that are accredited with Volunteer South Africa, the South Africa Youth Travel Confederation, and perhaps Fair Trade Tourism South Africa.
