OK? I would not release it new marked deprecated. One option would be to move it to the package where it is used for now and give it package scope (so not part of public API).

18-24 year old woman treated with Breast Implants
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
This is a 24 year old breast implant patient who came to see us because she was very unhappy with her small breast size. She is a petite woman so special attention was taken to ensure that the size and type of implant would appear natural and proportional to her slight frame. 275 cc smooth round saline implants were chosen and surgically implanted at the sub-muscular position via an inframammary incision and inflated to a volume of 330 cc. Patient was checked for symmetry and because her left breast was somewhat larger than her right breast,10 cc was removed from her left breast and 10 cc was added to her right breast for ideal evenness.

Headphone company Skullcandy recruited a supermodel crew—including Chanel Iman, Jessica Stam, Kate Upton, and Chrissy Teigen—to pose in brand's newest ear-toppers, all while wearing barely-there bikinis. "Everyone talks about how the age of the supermodel is dead, but I don't think it's dead," Upton told the Today show earlier this year. With this new campaign, it seems she's right.

Suck it up, work your backside off and don't be distracted.
Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley says that's what he would have told Scott Pendlebury if his captain was on the wrong end of what is now known in the AFL as a Macaffering.
Buckley is dismissive of what has happened since Friday night, when Collingwood's specialist tagger Brent Macaffer shut down Richmond captain Trent Cotchin.
Macaffer's tactics have reignited strong debate about midfield tagging.
But Buckley says the reaction has been hysterical.
"When I was playing and I got held, how I would expect to be coached and how I felt was that I just didn't work hard enough," Buckley said.
"I made it too easy for the bloke to defend me.
"On some occasions, when you're going through learning how to deal with that tag, you realise ... that you've put your hands up and given up.
"If that happened to Pendles, I'd be pulling him aside and saying 'I know you've been through it quite a few times, but you didn't work hard enough today'."
There was a light moment in the debate when Buckley reflected on how he used to handle hard tags during his stellar playing career.
"I can tell you there were times personally ... it didn't happen very often ... there was this one time ..." the Brownlow Medallist said with a smirk.
But otherwise, Buckley is deadly serious that the reaction has been over the top.
He revealed Collingwood had contacted the umpiring department about the Macaffer-Cotchin duel and asked for any video examples of missed or unwarranted free kicks.
"They sent through two edits - one of them was questionable in our eyes," Buckley said.
"Their feedback would be ... that contest was umpired well, which is against the hysteria that has taken place over the last couple of days."
Buckley also was unimpressed that umpires coach Hayden Kennedy had passed comment.
"With all due respects, I don't really care if Hayden likes it or doesn't like it," Buckley said.
The 'Pies coach again gave Macaffer full support for the job he did on Cotchin.
"He did it particularly well," Buckley said.
"He's a ball player; he's a fair player; he's a disciplined player; he sticks to his task and he did it particularly well.
Buckley added Pendlebury was expert at countering a heavy tag.
"Keep working, keep moving - get to the next contest," Buckley said.
"Pendles does it really well. Don't be a sitting duck."
Buckley said there is no doubt where most attention will be at the start of Saturday's game against North Melbourne.
"It's going to be on Caf and whoever he goes and picks up and it's going to be on Clokey (Travis Cloke) and probably Scott Thompson, if he picks him up," Buckley said.
"The umpires are going to be under some duress - they're going to be under some pressure. So are the players.
"Let's play the game - it's not in bad shape; it's going alright."

Mr Fukuda, a former chief cabinet secretary from the moderate wing of the Liberal Democratic party (LDP), easily won the vote, held among lower house MPs, to replace Shinzo Abe, who announced his resignation on September 12. Mr Abe, who has spent almost two weeks in hospital with a stress-related illness, attended his final cabinet yesterday before he and his ministers resigned en masse.
Mr Fukuda, 71, acknowledged that his party's popularity had suffered after a year of scandals and gaffes involving cabinet ministers, and his predecessor's failure to address voters' concerns over the economy and pensions.
"The situation surrounding the LDP is very severe, and we will face difficulty in keeping the government under control unless we have the cooperation of all party members," he said.
He faces a bruising battle over plans to extend Japan's naval refuelling mission in the Indian Ocean in support of US-led forces in Afghanistan. The Democratic party is threatening to block the extension in the upper house, where it became the largest single party in July.
The Democratic party leader, Ichiro Ozawa, repeated his call for an early general election. "The only thing to be done is to seek the will of the people," he told reporters.

DETROIT (Oct. 31)
A book containing a compilation of responses by 45 leading Jewish scholars throughout the world to a question posed several years ago by then Premier David Ben-Gurion about Jewish identity has been assembled, financed and published by Baruch Litvin, an Orthodox Jewish resident of Mount Clemens.
Mr. Ben-Gurion posed the question as "Who is a Jew?" and in so doing touched off a world-wide Jewish debate. Mr. Ben-Gurion disclosed he had posed the question to the scholars. The compilation of "Jewish identity–Modern Response and Opinions," was edited by Prof. Sidney Hoenig of Yeshiva University. A number of scholars assisted in translations of replies in Hebrew, French and other languages. The only Hebrew material in the book is a letter to Mr. Ben-Gurion from the late Chief Rabbi Isaac Halevy Herzog and another letter from Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik of Boston.
One of the scholars protested against the book's publication and the former Premier Ben-Gurion withdrew his permission to allow the book to be published. After intercession with the former Premier by another Israeli leader, permission was restored. Shaul Litvin, son of the Orthodox Jewish lay leader, presented the first copy of the book to Mr. Ben-Gurion recently.

TRIPOLI, Libya -- Suspected Islamic militants attacked the security headquarters in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi early on Friday, killing eight soldiers and policemen and wounding 24, a security official said.
The official said the attack started when dozens of unidentified gunmen opened fire and fired mortar shells at the security building. The onslaught lasted for an hour and the gunfire and the shelling was heard from miles away.
Libyan commandos were sent to the scene and engaged with the attackers but sustained heavy casualties in the battle. Six commandos and two policemen were killed.
A local hospital official said some of the slain troops were badly butchered and their bodies burned before the attackers fled the scene.
The official said his hospital was also treating the 24 wounded in the fighting, most of whom had gunshot wounds to the chest and the abdomen. Some were in critical condition, he said.
The security official said four troops were also missing after the battle. A number of militants was believed to have been wounded in the fighting, he said, but they did not seek medical help in any of the local hospitals.
The officials said the attackers likely unsuccessfully tried to get their hands on a car loaded with weapons and ammunition that the security forces had confiscated the previous night.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.
Benghazi, the birthplace of the 2011 uprising that led to the downfall of longtime dictator Muammar Qaddafi, has since witnessed a series of attacks, assassinations and bombings, mostly targeting military and police who served under the ousted ruler.
The city was also the scene of a 2012 attack on two U.S. diplomatic outposts, which left U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead.
The Obama administration came under fire once again this week for its response to that attack -- both its immediate military response and its rhetorical response in the days following the assault. The White House was forced onto the defensive again, insisting that the initial assessment given by administration officials was based on "what we knew at the time," and not a deliberate effort to mislead the American public about the nature of the attack.
Libya has seen a severe deterioration in security and the government has depended on unruly militias to fill the security vacuum in the absence of a strong police force or a unified military.
On Tuesday, a car bomb exploded in front of a military compound in Benghazi, killing two soldiers and wounding two others.

text: Not sure if this topic fits in this forum but anyways, I just want to know your views between the two. Im now thinking between the Kaossilator and Nano controller pack. I know that each are diff from the other and each serves diff purpose. Ok, im a noob to all these DIY music / Midi instruments and all. Im kinda familiar w/ the Kaossilator bec few years back i have a zoom st224 and Kaos Pad 1. I want to know w/c is more versatile, the kaossilator or the Nano controllers? considering that the NanoPad has X-Y axis like the Kaossilator. Also I want to know if i can use Garageband as DAW for the NanoControls coz i also dont want to purchase Ableton live for the Nanos anytime soon. My purpose for these toys are just to create music for my friend's longboarding / wakeskating videos and maybe create tracks for fun, nothing too serious though. Just to keep myself busy and at the sametime be able to create tracks with good (not best) qualilty. Thanks!

- 5,000-Foot Glider Ride for One
Sylvania Soaring Adventures
From nearly a mile above the ground, the sailplane's wraparound windows open onto sweeping views of the Wisconsin countryside. Rolling hills and forests, streams, and lakes dot the landscape, and on a clear day, the Chicago skyline peeks out from the horizon. Sylvania Soaring Adventures's FAA-certified flight instructors pilot guests over these vistas in a fleet of Schweizer SGS 1-26E, Schweizer 2-33, and Grob 103 sailplanes. Towed by a traditional airplane, the gliders reach altitudes of up to 5,000 feet, well above the habitat of endangered birthday balloons. Once released, professional pilots demonstrate basic flight principles, point out landmarks of interest, and sometimes hand over the controls. They also helm training programs to certify students who want to fly solo or pilot gliders for their friends and family.

Handheld shooting with Zacuto
Toyota car dealer. Prices and funding are dumbfoundedly good! We had just gotten our Zacuto camera rig together, so of course it was shot handheld. Just a very simple idea and kind of easy to execute. But great lighting by Hans Petur. I love the clean look this ad has, something that lots of our older commercials didn't have. We just started stripping the idea and the room down to its bare bones, and I think it worked.
Everything has a price
Home contents insurance for all your furniture and stuff in your house.
This ad was shot on DV, and we were at the time really tired of the video look and working with shitty camera formats like DV. The HDSLR revolution was still a couple of years around the corner. It was hard to figure out ways to make the DV-signal look more like real film. And I think we pushed it as far as we could.
This ad is an excellent example on how good you can make the DV signal look, by color grading and adding that fake depth of field into an otherwise too-crisp-bluish-video-looking-picture. Price tags were put on by using tracking software which was real magic back in those days.
High-energy ad
High-energy ad for a special youth bank account. In order to create the feeling of the ad it was essential that the young people were both fired up and active, as well as positively aware of the camera. The easiest lighting setup ever: A powerful flashlight straight into their pale faces.
Impossible to break
To advertise high performance building materials (house sidings) for Import.fo we used classic slapstick humour in this ad. The concrete slabs were actually made of styrofoam, which were surprisingly impossible to break. Special effects and tooth picks completed the illusion.
The winner is…
Company of the year 2010
Pushed to the absolute limit
For iConcept we wanted to create a bleak, typically Nordic atmosphere with this film. The actors Hjálmar Dam and Nicolai Falk did a superb job playing two desperate suits on the run, especially Hjálmar who had to lie in the freezing mud way too long. The expressions on their faces are real signs of being pushed to the absolute limit. One of them threw up blood..
Car financing from Bank Nordik.
Everyone needs one.
Just get one.
Call Bank Nordik.
That's all.
(…hmm..now what were the rules for haikus?)

It's been a very memorable year for reality star Kristin Cavallari, who welcomed her son Camden in August. Motherhood has been a natural fit for the 25-year-old, who calls it "the best thing in the world."
"It's so much fun," she tells HollywoodLife.com. So will Camden be a big brother before too long? While Kristin says that she and her fiance Jay Cutler definitely plan on having another baby, they're still trying to figure out the timeline.
"Sooner than later," she says of baby #2. "But I'm not trying to get pregnant right now."
The former Laguna Beach star also dished on her wedding plans, saying, "We're talking about it, we know exactly what we want, but everything is sort of up in the air. We have a 4-month-old and it's like, do we wanna have another baby first or get married?"
But first comes Camden's very first Christmas!
"We'll spend Christmas Eve night at Jay's parents' house and then we will go to my mom's house for Christmas dinner," she recently revealed of their holiday plans.

General News of Tuesday, 6 May 2014
Source: Myjoyonline.com
The Public Accounts Committee has recovered over GHC190,000 in lost revenue from second cycle institutions in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions.
Additionally, the schools have been forced to implement measures to stop further leakages of revenue and misappropriation of funds.
Chairman of the Committee, Kwaku Agyeman Manu, said the committee's six-day sitting in Kumasi has highlighted the many lapses in accounting and procurement procedures that have bedeviled the schools.
PAC ended the sitting on Monday after probing many schools for breaching procurement rules, failing to collect rent from teachers occupying government bungalows and undeserved payment of salaries.
According to Mr Agyemang Manu, taxes which have been withheld amounted to 46,347 cedis; unpaid rent amounted to 9,723 cedis only in Ashanti Region.
Schools in Brong Ahafo also suffered similar breaches with several thousands of monies recovered from the schools and given back to the state.
"Apart from these tangible, countable recoveries, you must bear with me that we have learnt a lot from you and you too from us. And we visited some of the rules and laws we are using for revision. I believe we are going to see improved systems and controls that will help us manage the resources entrusted into our care," he stated.

Tom Cruise Fends Off Masked Men at 'Valkyrie' Premiere
Apologist Tom Cruise's new Nazi-drama-thriller Valkyrie premiered in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
The film details a failed plot by highly placed Nazi's to assassinate German dictator Adolf Hitler during World War II.
The debut narrowly escaped a group of anti-Scientology protesters who were planning on throwing a monkey wrench into the proceedings.
Anonymous.net, an organization dedicated to exposing what it considers to be shortcomings in Cruise's religion, obtained their permit to assemble very late Monday. That, compounded with a location mix-up, meant only a few protesters got near the red carpet.
Cruise, 46, a major spokesperson for Scientology, has been one of Anonymous.net's favorite targets. A faction protested at the opening of Tom's wife Katie Holmes' Broadway debut in All My Sons in September.
"Anonymous ruined [Katie's] photos by being in the background. They didn't want the same thing [at Valkyrie]," an insider told MSNBC. "Tom loves being with his fans, signing autographs. It's really where he shines. He and the fans lose out this way."
"Tom never came out to talk to us," complained one protester. "That said, I think we were able to get our message out about Scientology peacefully."
Despite the group's disruptive efforts, Cruise spoke easily to media outlets about his role as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in the film.
He even took time to confess to ET that daughter Suri has become a bit of a fashionista and is dictating her Mom's wardrobe.
"We went to some huge event, and Suri had insisted that Kate wear these blue shoes," Tom said. "So she's very insistent."
So Suri is responsible for some of Katie's more outlandish fashion choices. It's all coming clear now.

CNN Hosts Confront Director Of Anti-Obama Film About Falsehoods In Movie
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the August 27 edition of CNN's Starting Point:
Loading the player reg...
ROLAND MARTIN (CNN contributor): Just curious -- how do you deal with folks who lie? So, for instance, I heard one of the women say, "Oh my God, taxes have gone up." You look at the stimulus bill, actually, 40 percent of that is actually tax cuts. So when you look at analysis of what has happened, taxes have actually -- they have not gone up. So when somebody lies in the film, what do you do?
STEPHEN BANNON (conservative filmmaker): These are called voters.
MARTIN: No, no -- right. But they also lie.
BANNON: Remember, voters can be low-information voters, they could be mid-information voters. We went and took a pool of voters, right, who voted for President Obama, who are active in the voter pool today, registered voters who are likely to vote. Some said they're not going to vote because they may not vote for President Obama. But we got their feelings. Some of them had information that's not absolutely perfect. I mean, some -- a lot of them didn't know a lot about Obamacare.
MARTIN: But if somebody lies, why include the lie?

Wall-to-Wall Carpet Buying Guide
Previously called olefin, polypropylene is a solution-dyed synthetic that is both water- and stain-resistant, making it a good choice for indoor/outdoor carpeting. Because it is solution-dyed, it will not fade, making it good for rooms that get a lot of light or traffic from the outside or from a cholorinated pool. Because it is less resilient than nylon, it is best used in low-pile carpets such as berbers (low, loop-pile carpeting with flecks of different colors).

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. - A 26-year-old Orange Park man convicted of beating his girlfriend to death with a baseball bat in August 2006 was sentenced Monday to life in prison.
Joshua Maulsby was found guilty earlier this month of killing 19-year-old Alicia Castaneda after they got into an argument over laundry. Prosecutors played Maulsby's taped confession in court during the trial.
In it, Maulsby told investigators that he and his girlfriend had an argument at his parents' Orange Park home. He said he went to his car, got the bat and beat her to death, then dragged her body into a swimming pool.
Defense attorneys did not deny the killing for which Maulsby was convicted, but they disputed the state of mind of the defendant at the time of the killing.
After his arrest, Maulsby was found not competent for prosecution and was sent off to the state mental health facility in the Panhandle for treatment. He was returned to Clay County court in 2008 for a mental competency hearing and was later ruled competent to assist in his own defense.

Shareholders in junior exploration companies will be able to claim tax credits for the cost of finding new discoveries from July, under a $100 million plan released by the Abbott government.
The Coalition will, in line with its election commitment, introduce an "exploration development incentive" that will allow investors in small exploration companies to deduct the expense of mining exploration against their taxable income.
A Treasury discussion paper on the scheme, released on Thursday by Industry Minister
Eligibility for the tax credits will be limited to investors in companies with no taxable income. A tax credit will be provided to Australian resident shareholders for eligible "greenfields" exploration; petroleum and geothermal are excluded in Australia. The deadline for submissions to Treasury is April 4.
"The future prosperity of the resources sector and the Australian economy is dependent on our ability to make new mineral discoveries and this scheme will provide an incentive for exploration," Mr Macfarlane said in a statement.
"It will . . . give a significant boost to Australia's junior explorers in their quest to uncover new mineral resources."
Senator Sinodinos said the incentive would help get the "exploration industry back on its feet".
Scheme to be reviewed annually
The discussion paper said the final details will be determined in consultation with peak industry groups, and the scheme will be reviewed annually. "Subject to these review outcomes, the program may be extended for a further period," it said.
The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies suggested the incentive before last year's election as "an innovative tax reform measure" that would help junior exploration companies raise equity capital for minerals exploration projects.
Grant Thornton tax partner Peter Hills also said the incentive would encourage investment amid a "rapidly declining exploration investment in Australian greenfield mineral projects".
He said given mining projects have different lead times to production, a junior explorer may choose not to pass back the exploration losses to their shareholders.
"The reforms require the company to choose the amount of losses they want to reduce, calculate the exploration credits and notify its shareholders of the tax offset. Only eligible expenditure incurred from post 1 July 2014 greenfield exploration can be used for the tax offset," he said.

History of Rainbow Sandals: An American Story
The functional fashion icon that is worn by millions around the world, Rainbow Sandals, was created in 1974. Jay "Sparky" Longley started testing his sandal ideas in Laguna Beach, California in his garage. The idea came from a desire to create a sandal that would last. Sparky took product we know today from concept to completion through trial and error. In 1972 he put his idea to the test. He purchased high quality leather, using a sewing machine to make the stitching he wanted to prevent the leather from tearing, and experimented with different glues to find one with optimal strength that would keep the leather and foam layers together.
After honing in on a final product he started selling sandals in the parking lot of the Saw Dust festival. He would sell his sandals and use the money to buy more leather and glue. One of the first stores to sell the sandal was Hobie. Sparky established a consignment deal with Dick Metz. In 1974 Sparky moved to San Clemente where he officially established Rainbow Sandals. In San Clemente, he opened the original store and factory where Rainbow Sandals are produced to this day.
Mostly, Rainbow Sandals have stayed the same from 1974 through today. The single layer and double layer sandals have become staple products for Rainbow. The essential colors Dark Brown and Sierra have been around for decades and continue to be best sellers. In the late 2000s the Flirty Braidy was added to the lineup and was an instant success. Additional colors Expresso and Mocha were also also added to both Men's and Women's Rainbow Sandals. In 2015 the newest addition to lineup, the T-Street Rainbow Sandals , was created. It's the trendiest Rainbow yet with its unique design yet retaining the classic Rainbow arch.
The future of Rainbow Sandals is bright with new styles set to release in 2017. This iconic brand isn't fading out as some trends do. It is the American Birkenstock that has and will be the staple sandal from California to Florida for years to come.

About Santa Cruz Indymedia
Santa Cruz Indymedia is an Independent Media Center for the Monterey Bay Area.
Santa Cruz Indymedia is an open-publishing website for the Monterey Bay Area. Please contribute by publishing your news or adding an event to the calendar.
If you would like to help maintain this important community resource, have questions or ideas, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Indymedia is a tool for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of truth. Since 1999, Indymedia has grown into a network of Independent Media Centers (IMCs) all over the world with a commitment to equality, decentralization and autonomy.
On Santa Cruz Indymedia you can easily publish articles, audio, photography, and video. Your stories and analysis go right up on our newswire. You can also add comments and additions to other stories posted on the site. Santa Cruz Indymedia has dedicated itself to improving coverage of local issues and events.
Santa Cruz Indymedia has been an Independent Media Center for the Monterey Bay Area since 2001. Indymedia activism can take many forms, but is rooted in the Indymedia Principles of Unity which profess that the open exchange of and open access to information is a prerequisite to the building of a more free and just society. The Santa Cruz Indymedia principles of unity (see below) are based on this document. Santa Cruz Indymedia is not a membership organization; it is a tactic, a concept, and a movement that can be effectively utilized in many different ways.
The Website
Like all IMCs, Santa Cruz Indymedia hosts a website with an open publishing newswire to which anyone can post text, images, audio and video using the online publish form. Unlike a newspaper or other form of media, content uploaded to the website using this form is published directly to the newswire without being approved or edited. The articles that are featured in the center column are taken right from the newswire, thus highlighting original content and reporting. This system empowers anyone to become the media for the purpose of sharing information and views that are blocked out or misrepresented by the corporate media; that is, to stand with the oppressed against the oppressors.
On February 1, 2006, the Santa Cruz Independent Media Center's website became regionally integrated with Indybay.org, the website of the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center. The website address for Santa Cruz Indymedia is Indybay.org/SantaCruz.
Working Groups
Santa Cruz Indymedia's structure is not derived from a centralized bureaucratic process, but from the self-organization of autonomous working groups that recognize the importance in developing a unified approach. These groups can be centered around a set of tasks (e.g., editorial, tech, design), a type of media (e.g., video, print, audio), an activity (e.g., promotion/outreach, reporting/coverage), or some other project. Santa Cruz Indymedia working groups can organize themselves in whatever fashion they find most appropriate to their needs (e.g., frequency of meetings, method of communication, open or closed listserves, etc.) as long as they stick to the Santa Cruz Indymedia principles of unity (see below).
General Meetings
General Santa Cruz Indymedia meetings occur regularly to foster cooperation among individuals and working groups, and are open to people who are interested in supporting Santa Cruz Indymedia projects or starting new ones. When there are upcoming meetings, they are published to the SC-IMC Calendar. If you would like to help maintain this important community resource, have questions or ideas, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Occasionally, people who gather at these meetings might collectively address an issue that affects more than one of the working groups. In such cases, decisions shall be made by consensus, which requires open minds, active listening, and mutual respect. "Blocks" or the threat of a block to an idea presented at a meeting should not be made lightly.
"I block" means "I feel that the group has compromised its own values with this choice," or "If we move forward with this idea, I cannot personally continue to work with this group." The individual making a block should balance their opposition to the idea with their willingness to continue working with the group. Instead of blocking, an individual may also "stand aside" from a decision.
To address the individual making the block, the group will go around the circle to see if anyone else agrees. If no one else does, the blocker is asked if s/he wants to stand aside. If not, the individual needs to give another, new reason to block. Going around in the circle like this can happen up to three times. The individual making the block is then asked if they are choosing to stand aside or leave, and the idea passes.
Principles of Unity
* All Santa Cruz Indymedia working groups are not-for-profit. All contributions to Santa Cruz Indymedia are on a volunteer basis and no money shall be paid for Indymedia work.
* All working groups recognize the importance of process to social change and are committed to the development of non-hierarchical and anti-authoritarian relationships, from interpersonal relationships to group dynamics. Therefore, they shall organize themselves collectively and be committed to the principle of consensus decision-making and the development of a direct, participatory democratic process that is transparent to those involved.
* All working groups recognize that the contribution of an individual's labor is a prerequisite for participation in the decision making process of a working group or at a Santa Cruz Indymedia general meeting. Individuals who are not committing tangible labor to a Santa Cruz Indymedia working group are encouraged to share their views but may not "block" a consensus.
* All working groups are committed to caring for one another and their respective communities both collectively and as individuals and will promote the sharing of resources including knowledge, skills and equipment.
* Whenever possible, all working groups shall be committed to the use of free software and open source code, in order to develop the digital infrastructure, and to increase the independence of themselves by not relying on proprietary software.
* Openess: All working groups shall be committed to the principle of human equality, and shall not discriminate based upon race, spiritual belief, gender, age, class or sexual identity. Working groups are committed to the ideal of building diversity within their activities.

Ben-Jumbo Highlights | 2012-13 Schedule | LMU on Facebook | LMU on Twitter

his point was: its bass. its barely heard. why are you going to waste money on that?
seriously, i dont see it as a waste of money. as a guitarrist, i dont feel like I need too many basses. I have 2 precision basses, 1 standard one and 1 that has a jazz pickup too. I'm not going around gigging, playing bass at shows.
What I want to do is take an already decent bass, and make it great.
the bass is a squier.
Which is an awesome bass. problems? the tone is very good, but I want something deeper and punchier. i heard that a quarter pounder even makes the bass LOUDER, which i dont know is fact, but oh well.
also, the bridge on it is rusting, and the height adjustment screws are stripping at the top. I will have to take measurements to be sure what size the spacing and the screws are, but I am almost sure that these fender specific bridges will fit. (5 screws on my bass, identical to a friends mexican jazz bass).
Because, if all you need is ONE bass, for recording and ocassional gigging, wouldnt you want to make it awesome?
right now im wondering this, when one is considering buying a replacement bass pickup, what specs do you have to look for? DC resistance, like a guitar?
is there anything else i can upgrade? tuners? nut?

Generations of families turned out to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a popular nursery.
The event marked the success of Sunshine Nursery in Waltham Abbey, which has been providing childcare for a quarter of a century on the King Harold Academy site.
Owner Julie Holmes organised a celebration to thank hundreds of families who have supported the nursery over the years.
She said: "It was a lovely day. The children sang a selection of nursery rhymes and we had tea and cake afterwards.
"It's like a second home. I've devoted my life to the nursery so it's nice to hear all of the good things that people have to say about it.
"Some people talk about their own time here. Amy, the first ever child we had came along with her baby.
"The town mayor had a look around and said how lovely it was."

Sherwood Schwartz, who created Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch, passed away of natural causes Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. He was 94.
Schwartz's iconic series were often ridiculed throughout the '60s and '70s, but both The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island lived on in syndication.
In a 1996 interview, as excerpted by the New York Times, Schwartz said despite its silliness, Gilligan's Island had a deeper underlying theme. "It's one world," he explained. "And we all have to learn to live with each other." Schwartz was also responsible for writing his shows' catchy theme songs.
The Brady Bunch's Florence Henderson tweeted her condolences for Schwartz and his loved ones. "Sherwood had a wonderful family who loved and respected him," she wrote. "I know his Brady Bunch family felt the same way. He will be greatly missed."
Schwartz is survived by his wife, Mildred; three sons, Donald, Lloyd and Ross, and a daughter, Hope Juber.

Since the new collective bargaining agreement was reached, NHL teams are now required to reserve an increased amount of tickets for players, NHL officials and referees.
If these tickets aren't used, teams release these tickets to the general public. Typically, these tickets are hard to find, but the Buffalo Sabres have decided to start the "Sabres Standby" program, where you sign up on a first-come first-served basis.
The afternoon before a game, when the tickets are released, fans will be contacted in the order that they signed up with the ability to purchase these tickets. Fans will have 30 minutes to contact the dedicated standby line to speak to a customer service representative, who will be the "Sabres Standby" game-day concierge.
The first game that will be available through "Sabres Standby" is the Friday night game against the Boston Bruins. Fans can sign up up to 48 hours before game time.
To sign up for a game, or for more information, go to www.sabres.com/standby.Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres, Hockey, NHL

Feature Article of Saturday, 10 May 2014
Columnist: Okoampa-Ahoofe, Kwame
By Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., Ph.D.
He has been able to cozily get away with it because as a people, Akans are less cohesive that we need, and ought, to be. I am not talking about the sort of clannishness or tribalism that hermetically admits of no healthy assimilation of friendly and well-meaning outsiders. What I am talking about here is the proactive need to heartily celebrate our "political" differences even while also accepting the fact that culturally, as clearly defined and articulated by the kinship mortar of our eight clan, or matrilineal, divisions, we fundamentally are one people.
Heaven knows that we, Akans, are perhaps the most hospitable meta-nation of indigenous Africans - spanning Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and other parts of the West African sub-region - which is why we are increasingly becoming ethnic minorities in our homelands. Our self-proclaimed and avowed enemies recognize this insidious state of affairs, thus their patently cavalier and even downright disrespectful attitude towards us.
The fact of the matter is that the man vigorously campaigned for President on the platform of Northern Entitlement, as we have scandalously witnessed with the SADA Afforestation scam-artistry; then also, we have witnessed GYEEDA and other regionally biased instances of flagrant frauds shamelessly disguised as accelerated development programs for the northern-half of the country. The guilt trip being mischievously pulled over the eyes of us, southerners, will not wash.
Akans, for such is how southern Ghanaians are homogeneously envisaged by many a northern Ghanaian, have not at anytime, held back the economic development clock, or agenda, of northern Ghanaians and cannot, and ought not, be held in any way responsible for the same. We have simply been more ingenious in putting to maximum use the talents which Divine Providence has availed all nationalities and ethnicities of humans. We are especially envied and pooh-poohed because we have relatively held ourselves to higher standards than most of our neighbors. This has been the theme of the so-called Rawlings Revolution, and of all the other faux-revolutions that have emanated therefrom.
We are, of course, ungrateful for developmental pittances because we are not a self-pitying people. For that matter, the Bole-Bamboi petty chieftain is quite right in suggesting that not even if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regime were to pave all the streets and highways in Oseikrom with gold, would Asantes/Akans be apt to feel grateful for such "kindly gesture." You see, we have seen and been mining this global symbol of wealth for centuries, and had been doing so for ages before all these other pathologically envious and kleptocratic folks swarmed our lands - from Ancient Ghana to Wagadugu and Modern Ghana.
It is not that we lack any remarkable sense of gratitude, it is just that we tend to think bigger and have been able to deal with our environments relatively and remarkably better than all these other jaundiced souls who seem to equate their prosperity and success with our "revolutionary" liquidation. Anyway, I am glad that the Russian-trained Gonja drum-major insulted the Asantehene and Asanteman in much the same manner that he recently thumbed his snub-nose at the Okyenhene and Okyeman on the apocalyptic tragedy that is Galamsey.
To be frank with the dear reader, I was beginning to be worried silly over his rather deft and suave divide-and-dominate strategy. So far, the game appears to be going great and even producing miracles for the Fante chieftains and their loyal subjects. But even here, it is the proverbial mouse and cat, or cat and mouse, at play. The Fantes have, so far, smartly demonstrated that they know how to play the game of forked-tongues. Talk Galamsey here and spport this patently suicidal venture there. That is the vintage strategy of our "elected" Gonja petty chieftain. And this is also what we, New Yorkers, call "talking a good game and doing absolutely nothing and getting away with the same."
There, of course, will surely be hell to pay in the offing. It is only a matter of time. And if the hawk still despises the "dorky" dance of the fowl, then maybe the fowl needs to learn a trick or two about the genius of kites vis-a-vis synchronized flying. After all, haven't we humans learned to fly with the steely wings of iron hawks and drones? And then again, how does the fowl feel feasting on a bowl of chicken soup prepared for her by the hawk?

Neves was born in São João del Rei, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. He was ordained a priest on 9 July 1950. He was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of São Paulo by Pope Paul VI on 9 June 1967 with the titular see of Feradi Maius.
On 15 October 1979 he was appointed Secretary of the Congregation for Bishops within the Roman Curia by Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Moreira Neves left the Curia to take up the position of Archbishop of São Salvador da Bahia on 9 July 1987.
He was created Cardinal-Priest with the titular of Ss. Bonifacio ed Alessio on 28 June 1988.
Cardinal Moreira Neves once again left Brazil for Rome to take up the position as Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops to which he was appointed on 25 June 1998, when he was also elevated to the rank of Cardinal Bishop of Sabina-Poggio Mirteto. He resigned his position as Prefect on the 16 September 2000 as a result of his failing health.

The 31-year-old, who was born in Rochford and attended Southend High School, was part of the 18 man travelling party for the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in May.
But that squad is now set to be reduced to 16 and Clarke, a former Old Southendian player, will be desperate to make the cut.
Clarke competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and has won 138 international caps.

Silence: A Christian History
Marina Warner writes:
By a bizarre twist, G.K. Chesterton may be en route to sanctity: it was reported in August that the Bishop of Northampton has begun a suit for his canonisation. Diarmaid MacCulloch doesn't invoke Chesterton's miracle-working powers, but he opens this expanded version of his 2012 Gifford Lectures with a Father Brown story, 'The Oracle of the Dog': by howling at a certain time, the animal gives the priestly sleuth the clue to the murder weapon. Chesterton was consciously taking off from an earlier tale, Conan Doyle's 'Silver Blaze', in which a guard dog fails to bark when a racehorse is killed and Holmes rightly deduces that the animal didn't raise the alarm because he knew the criminal. The reader of these opening anecdotes in Silence: A Christian History senses that MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford and one of the most lucid and authoritative TV historians ever, would prefer to stand by like the original dog, a quiet and eloquent witness to the hubbub and hurly-burly of the world's crimes, but has always felt compelled to make his voice heard. When he was young and first realised he was gay, he had to sing dumb, of course. Later, he began training for the priesthood, but when the silence about sexuality continued, he refused to accept the pretence and left. MacCulloch doesn't exactly go in for howling, but he is a stringent analyst of Christianity and he speaks out, determinedly, calmly and broad-mindedly.

British Couples Are Pissy Prince William And Kate Middleton Marrying On "Their" Weekend
Britain apparently has a nation full of Emn Haddad-Friedmans. Who is Emn Haddad-Friedman, you ask? She was the bride who planned her wedding for July 31st in Rhineback, New York, the same weekend as Chelsea Clinton. Weddings are stressful enough without worrying the Clintons stole your caterers! After Prince William announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton and set the wedding date for April 29, 2011, couples across Britain who chose the same day started fretting. Some Brits are really nutso about the royal family and the prince's wedding will be a big enough deal to skip weddings of people they actually, you know, know. Personally, I think if someone chooses to stand outside Westminster Abbey for a peek at Kate's bridal gown, or parks in front of the telly for the televised ceremony, it's one less d-bag's dinner and drinks you need to pay for.

3. jordan30589 (Posts: 15; Member since: 23 Jan 2012)
You're wrong there, the 4212 it's the 32nm version of the 45nm dual core 4210 in the Galaxy S2. The quad core version of the 4212 its the 4412.

20. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1543; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I'm not sure where you got that from, but tha's not what Samsung themselves are telling:
4412 is the "Exynos 4 Quad"
4212 is the "Exynos 4 Dual 32nm"
It has also been changed in Wikipedia:
It seems that they are changing the way to name chips.
26. saiki4116 (Posts: 405; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)
"The Exynos 4 Quad, also known as the Exynos 4212 (previously as the 4412), packs two times the number of cores as the Exynos 4 Dual (Exynos 4210) that you find in the Galaxy S II but due to the new 32nm processor is said to be 20 percent more efficient."

15. jordan30589 (Posts: 15; Member since: 23 Jan 2012)
You sure? Because I see the S3 having better camera,and also a better processor than the over hyped tegra 3.
38. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
How much have you been smoking? Tegra 3 and Exynos 4412/4212 have the same CPUs, 4 Cortex A9s at 1.5 GHz.
Of course, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Exynos much better, seeing as how Nvidia made idiotic decisions outside of the CPU, like single channel LPDDR2 (Exynos is dual channel, so is Snapdragon S4 and any other modern SoC), so it will choke under high load, and the GPU is still crap. No built in modem on Tegra 3 means it doesn't have the Snapdragon advantage either.
Tegra 3 is good for being first, but they cut too many corners to get there. It will do 95% of what the Exynos does, but it's still not as good as it could be.
39. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
They don't "have the same CPU" for one the exynos 4412 is 1.4ghz quad, its also on a 32nm using HKMG transistors instead of the manufacturing process used for 40nm.
40. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Do you even understand what you're saying?
Yes, 32nm HKMG uses less power than 40nm. No, it doesn't change the fact that it is the same architecture CPU at the same speed.
Go read up on Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs. The Ivy Bridge is a dieshrink with minor architectural improvement, at the same clockspeed it is only 3-5% faster, which is the same as absolutely no change. The difference is that Ivy Bridge can use less power.
41. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I wasn't referring to the HKMG making it faster, just the fact that its on the die, I was referring to the fact that the 32nm will be faster, nothing more, nothing less.
42. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
That argument still is nonsensical.
Yes, it will clock higher on 32nm HKMG than 40nm. This is not being clocked higher. There is no performance advantage.
An 80286 made on 32nm at the same speed as an 80286 made on 260nm will have the same performance, just that one will use immensely less power than the other. That is how it is. Stop trying to put Exynos on a pedestal. It will probably beat Tegra 3, but it comes down to doing what Tegra 3 didn't, which is proper design.
13. Cyan3boN (Posts: 446; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
i thought the ram was 2gb!!!!
14. theingeniousgeek (Posts: 4; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Yet another prototype?
23. JDCohen722 (Posts: 39; Member since: 18 May 2011)
My ASUS Transformer Prime running Stock ICS with no modifications at all usually gets just over 10 000 in Antutu, my One X usually gets around 10 500. So no PhoneArena, its pretty much the same in benchmarks in Antutu as Tegra 3, just because some Primes get 8 000 and others get 10 doesn't mean the GSIII tops Tegra 3, and its better to compare it directly to the One X's benchmarks since they both have the same resolution and Software. (ICS for Tablets is heavier than on Phones)

Drake JacketThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.ChasityMartin2 years ago
Perfect for my teenage son. Great product. BUT, be advised, it does run very small!! I purchased men's medium and it just fit!! Normally, he wears small- he's 5'9 135lbs (very thin). I would definitely order a size larger & two sizes larger if you plan to layer up underneath for hunting purposes!!
Okay JacketThis reviewer rated product 3 out of 5 stars.Mrs Harper3 years ago
Bought this for my husband. Reading all the reviews, they said the jacket ran big, so I purchased a XL instead of a Large. He had to return it because it was too big. Shipping was AMAZING. Nothing wrong with the jacket whatsoever! ( :

Designed for waterfowlThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Gonz02 years ago
Used a handful of times so far and is extremely warm and universal. Placement of the pockets are in the right spot for quick use and the liner fleece make it comfortable and flexible cool off or warm up if needed. Give it 4 of 5 stars only because I am 6'2" and wish it was an inch or two longer. It's not too short but just my preference. Still satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it!

GREAT JACKET!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.mherbert43 years ago
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son, and he is just thrilled with it! They are cool pockets everywhere, and he says that it is very warm. There are so many little great details in this jacket that it's hard to mention them all! The quality is superb, and the price is very reasonable considering that this jacket will last for years! My son just wanted a "Drake" jacket because it's popular, but he said he was even surprised at all the extras in this jacket. He loves it, and wears it all ... the time! I'd highly recommend this one!

Fabric is very breathable, thin and light. This is not like a cotton shirt at all. I will be using it for after work hunts where I can just pull this over another shirt and I'm good to go. Compare thickness to a pair of thin dress socks. No pockets would be the only negative.

AFTER raining all morning, the clouds cleared and the stage was set for a fantastic night of AFL football at Bonaira Street Oval on Saturday.
A crowd started to form halfway through reserve grade, arriving in time to see them win. By 6.30pm there were close to 300 people ready for the siren to start first grade.
As a prelude, 40 Auskickers ran down a race of Kiama senior players before enjoying a 15-minute teaser.
One could have been forgiven for thinking they were at the SCG, the crowd roaring when players burst through a banner made by their supporters.
Kiama had expected Bomaderry to come out fighting but the home side had not just come to play, but win. With Ricky Neels and Travis Lothian both in goal-kicking form the scoreboard favoured the Power early, the foundations set as Kiama led by 14 points at quarter time.
In the second quarter Bomaderry settled, as tackles intensified and a great game of football unfolded.
By three-quarter time Kiama had the lead by 16 points, but the Tigers were still in the race.
With Hayden Pocock playing his best game for the season, Luke Fuller as tough as usual and Ben Williams finding form the Power were not going to let this game slip. After a James Sampson special from 60 metres out the Power had sealed another victory.
"This is my fourth year as president and I have never been so proud of what has taken place tonight," club president Troy Gent said.
"Not only have the players, members and sponsors come out to support us tonight but also the Kiama community.
"As lovers of AFL this was a big moment for us all and we thank the community for showing up in droves."
First grade: Kiama 14-17-101 def. Bomaderry 9-4-58. Reserve grade: Kiama 11-13-79 def. Bomaderry 7-5-47.

Leytonstone Library has been awarded Grade II*-listed status after being recognised for its 'remarkable interiors'.
English Heritage has deemed the building, built in 1934, of 'national importance'.
Only 5.5 percent of all listed buildings have been given the II* status, which means they are of 'more than special interest'.
The library, which was built by Leyton Urban District Council, was strategically located in the main shopping area of Leytonstone at a time when it was developing as a burgeoning London suburb.
English Heritage described the building as 'an inter-war suburban branch library of considerable architectural ambition, which illustrates the most progressive library practice of the period'.
The Library now ranks alongside other Grade II*-listed buildings in the borough, such as the William Morris Gallery and Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Impossibly young, incredibly fit, and exuding down-home charm, Paul Ryan took the crowd by storm at the Iowa State Fair on Monday.
More than 1,000 people waited for over an hour under a fitful sun for a glimpse of the new vice-presidential nominee — and most of them were enthusiastic about his chances.
Representative Ryan did not go quite to the level of his Sunday performance in his home state of Wisconsin, where he told supporters that his "veins run with cheese," but he did milk the geography connection for all it was worth.
"We are united as upper Midwesterners," he said. "But in the end, we are all Americans."
Ryan delivered a standard anti-Obama stump speech with gusto.
"Mr. president," he thundered, to loud applause, "where are the jobs?"
The crowd closest to the stage wore blue "Romney" T-shirts — courtesy of campaign workers who had distributed them earlier to anyone willing to wear one. They also waved Romney "Believe in America" signs, occasionally using them to bash the small group of hecklers in front.
"We Iowans and Wisconsinites like to be respectful of each other … to listen to each other," said Ryan, unruffled by the shouting. "Those ladies" — gesturing toward the angry protesters — "must not be from Iowa."
He had a point — most of those in the sizable throng were amiable and polite, and already in love with the new VP candidate.
More from GlobalPost: Paul Ryan's foreign policy experience attacked by critics
"I wish he were at the top of the ticket," said Vicki Keagle, an Iowa resident. "He knows his stuff, he will energize Romney."
Some were even more enthusiastic.
"It's not even going to be close," said Ron James, who sported a sweatshirt reading "I'm the God-fearing, gun-toting flag-waving conservative you were warned about."
He identified himself as a Tea Party Republican from the center of the state, and is pretty bullish on the Republican ticket.
"Vegas has Romney winning in a romp," he added.
Nevada bookmakers may be confident of a Romney-Ryan victory, but pollsters are more cautious. A Rasmussen poll released last week indicated that Romney had a slim lead in Iowa, 46 to 44 percent, but it is still too close to call.
This gives Iowa added prominence in this election: Not only is it reputed to be the kingmaker state, with its January caucuses, it is now an important battleground, and will be eagerly wooed by both parties.
Peggy Evans, who teaches high school, is pleased with Iowa's quadrennial eminence.
"If you can't shake the hand of a future president in Iowa, you can't do it anywhere," she laughed.
More Highway 2012: Romney-Ryan, who's on top?
President Barack Obama was also in Iowa on Monday, at the start of a three-day bus tour of the state. He used the opportunity to bash the Ryan budget plan, and went so far as to suggest that Ryan was one of the House Republicans blocking aid for drought-stricken Iowa.
"Right now folks here in Iowa and across the heartland are suffering from one of the worst droughts in 50 years," Obama said at a rally in Boone, Iowa Monday afternoon. "The best way to help these states is for leaders in Congress to pass a farm bill that not only helps farmers and ranchers respond to natural disasters, but also makes necessary reforms and gives them some long-term certainty."
The president told the crowd that if they "happen to see Congressman Ryan," they should tell him how important the farm bill is to Iowa and rural communities.
Obama was going to stay overnight in Des Moines, but had not planned a trip to the State Fair, something that Ryan seized on in his speech.
"My guess is the reason President Obama is not making it here from Council Bluffs," said Ryan, "is because he only knows left turns!"
This delighted the crowd, especially James. "Obama is a socialist," he insisted. "You know what socialists are? Government for moochers by looters who take from the producers."
Iowa is a mixed state, with liberal pockets like Iowa City interspersed with more rural agricultural areas where the population is pretty conservative. The crowd at the State Fair seemed to be made up of socially conservative, fiscally prudent Midwesterners, who wanted no more of Obama's painful economics. They were more than willing to believe that Romney and his young partner had the answers.
Obama won the state handily in 2008, beating John McCain 54 percent to 44 percent, but he may have a harder race this time around.
One man who identified himself only as "Scott," said that Obama had been a big disappointment.
"I was hopeful in 2008," he said. "I wished him well. But what he said and what he has done are very different things."
Scott said he was supporting Romney because he was afraid for his children's future.
His son, 16-year-old Mitchell, agreed: "This election is about two very different standpoints," said the articulate teenager. "We cannot continue in this direction. We must cut spending."
Mitchell just wishes he were old enough to vote.

If you add 30 million people to the insurance rolls, and do not increase the number of doctors, it does not take a genius to figure out that we will all be standing in lines, or we will have to ration medical care."
Pat Minnick, from a small town near Des Moines, said she had not voted since 1980, but would do so this time.
"I think Romney is the only hope," she said. "Otherwise this country is going right down the toilet. Obama gives everything away. That is not America."
Ryan played to this crowd, sprinkling his speech with calls to "take back America" and "get the country back on the path to prosperity." The crowd loved it.
After his speech, Ryan was escorted around the fairgrounds by Iowa Governor Terry Bransted.
There was much to see — Iowans take their yearly extravaganza very seriously. In addition to livestock exhibitions and tractor displays, chainsaw carvings and hand-made quilts, there was food. Lots of it.
It is not known whether Ryan the fitness freak indulged in some of the fair's more renowned treats: deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried potatoes, or, the piece de resistance, deep-fried double bacon corn dogs, liberally doused with maple syrup.
But he almost certainly took a peek at the famous cow made entirely of butter, side by side with an oleo Snow White and Seven Dwarves.
He may also have visited another pavilion, where onlookers gaped at a giant cocoa moose. According to the sign, it is "the largest chocolate moose in captivity."
Ryan was soon on his way to other venues — less risky to his cholesterol level, one has to hope. But the charismatic Wisconsinite-cum-policy-wonk will doubtless be dispensing his deceptively folksy wisdom in many other states over the next three months.
Less than three months until Election Day!
