Roll Hennessy Roll not only came up with his first winner as a stallion, but his first stakes winner as well.
Roll Hennessy Roll not only came up with his first winner as a stallion, but his first stakes winner as well.
Stan Fulton's Roll Henessy Roll and Hector Garcia's King Robyn ship in from California and are the favorites among 11 3-year-olds entered in the $300,000 Carry Back Stakes (gr. III), part of the Summit of Speed at Calder Race Course at six furlongs Saturday.
Al Eisman and Bill Currin's Belmont Stakes (gr. I) possibility Outta Here worked one mile in 1:43 4/5 handily around the dogs over Hollywood Park's firm turf Sunday morning. Currin, who trains the colt wasn't prepared to commit to running in Saturday's Triple Crown finale, however.
Stan E. Fulton's Roll Hennessy Roll, scratched from Monday's Lazaro Barrera Memorial Stakes (gr. III) after developing a slight foot bruise, may turn up next in the Riva Ridge Breeders' Cup Stakes (gr. II) on the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) undercard June 7, trainer Rafael Becerra said.
Stan Fulton's Roll Hennessy Roll, runner-up in the April 6 Lafayette Stakes (gr. III) at Keeneland, returned to trainer Rafael Becerra's Santa Anita base this past week and will begin preparations for his next start in the $100,000 Lazaro Barrera Handicap (gr. III) at Hollywood Park May 26.
Heiligbrodt Racing Stable's Posse and jockey Corey Lanerie tracked a fast pace and chased down Roll Hennessy Roll in the stretch on his way to a solid victory in Sunday's $107,900 Lafayette Stakes (gr. III) for 3-year-olds at Keeneland.
A well-matched field of 3-year-old sprinters passed the entry box for Sunday's Lafayette Stakes (gr. III) at Keeneland. The seven-furlong race carries a purse of $100,000 added. Heading the cast is Fabien Ouaki and Patrick Biancone's Whywhywhy.
Stan Fulton's multiple stakes-winning 3-year-old Roll Hennessy Roll arrived at Keeneland from California and looked magnificent as he galloped over the track Thursday morning preparing for Sunday's Lafayette Stakes.
On Saturday, Great State Challenge winner Crackup worked for the first time since bleeding badly while finishing fourth in the Jan. 18 Santa Catalina Stakes (gr. II), logging a half-mile in :48 1/5. Trainer Rafael Becerra is considering the El Camino Real Derby for his next start.
Toccet can add Saturday's $406,507 Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) to his growing argument for top juvenile honors in 2002.
Toccet can add Saturday's $409,500 Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) to his growing argument for top juvenile honors in 2002.
A pair of highly promising 2-year-olds, multiple stakes winner Toccet from the East and locally-based Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) runner-up Kafwain, are set to clash in Saturday's Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) at Hollywood Park. A field of 11 fillies and mares also entered Saturday's Dahlia Handicap (gr. IIT).
A forecast of rain Friday and an off track Saturday brought rain-dance whoops from Maryland to California in the barns of John Scanlan and Rafael Becerra, trainers of Toccet and Roll Hennessy Roll, respectively, as they await Saturday's $375,000-estimated Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 mile.
Toccet, the leading 2-year-old colt on the East Coast, will be flown from Baltimore to run in the Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) Dec. 21, trainer John Scanlan confirmed Friday from his base at Laurel, Md.
Roll Hennessy Roll, impressive winner of the Hollywood Prevue Stakes (gr. III) Nov. 23, will try the Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) at 1 1/16 miles Dec. 21, trainer Rafael Becerra confirmed Thursday.
Even-money favorite Roll Hennessy Roll wrested the lead from Jimmy O at the quarter pole and cruised to an easy win in Saturday's $125,000 Hollywood Prevue Stakes (gr. III) for 2-year-olds.
Roll Hennessy Roll, a three-time winner in New Mexico and third-place finisher in the Sunny Slope Stakes at Santa Anita, is expected to be a top contender in Saturday's $125,000 Hollywood Prevue Stakes (gr. III) at seven furlongs.
Only The Best popped out of the gate and improved his position in Saturday's $96,600 Sunny Slope Stakes at Oak Tree at Santa Anita, rolling to a two-length victory under Patrick Valenzuela.

Sudbury firm Copperworks Consulting has opened a media production office, which will offer short-term office rentals for those working in the film, television, and media industry.
Located in the city's downtown, the 1,400-square-foot space includes three private offices, a boardroom, a reception area, an open-concept bullpen area, and a full kitchen. The space offers everything a production would require in an office space.
"The idea is to create an offering that is completely turnkey so a production can walk in the door, open their laptops and start working," Copperworks' Mike Large said in a news release. "We've taken care of the phones, the Internet, the copier—just pour a coffee and get to work."
Currently, the space is booked until the end of August, housing two productions—the feature film Esc and the new season of the TV series Hard Rock Medical produced by Ottawa company Carte Blanche Films, which has shot multiple TV series in the Greater Sudbury area.
Tracy Legault, executive producer at Carte Blanche Films, said there is a need for this service in Sudbury.
"For Carte Blanche, the ability to have a home in the North allows us to focus on production and not sourcing out office space, equipment and services," Legault said. "We have a long relationship with the Copperworks team and their knowledge of the industry in Northern Ontario gives them a unique ability to serve producers coming to the region."

It's probably one of those photo ops. With alot of the reality shows, they have to do appearances for charities and other stuff. I'm assuming this is probably one of them.

Well, I liked the Gaghans and I like Terry, so thanks for the links Dingo.
Never let the things you want make you forget about the things you have.
If Terry wins immunity tonight (which I REALLY hope he does) Then he is guaranteed a spot in the final four! His only chance for survival after that is a 100% immunity run, which will be EXTREMELY difficult. Someone's luck has to kick it at some time.
But while I can GO TERRY GO!
Sooner or later his luck will run out. I'd be thrilled if it lasts long enough to get 3 more Casaya out first. Win or not, it's the ultamite payback to get them out before you go down. It'll be funny knowing Casaya put up with each other all for nothing-for those that go before Terry does
Colby had a really long run of immunity challenge wins, as did Brian in Thailand. Sometimes a player just really dominates. I still remember watching Colby drag chocolate bar girl (what was her name? she wanted to savor Colby like he was a chocolate bar) through an obstacle course to win a prize. I don't know if Terry has it in him, but he's strong, has endurance, and is smart. Unless the challenge is mostly based on luck or other people picking you off, he stands a good chance of winning pretty much any challenge.
Help fight cystic fibrosis or just learn more about it at the cystic fibrosis foundation website, www.cff.org and help give my little guy a better future.
Oh yeah. It was plain as day that he was the dominant force even when in tribes. How well he did and the effort he put into every single challenge is why I thought he had a great chance at an immunity run before Dan's boot. He rocked way back then and Casaya are only fueling his fire and determination.
How boring is it for the same person to win all of the immunity challenges? Very!
"...each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." - Mitch Albom, one helluva writer.
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one that yelps!
I don't find it boring at all. I'm looking forward to the coming "butt saving" chaos that Casaya will go through as a result. Just knowing Courtney and Shane don't have a prayer of winning immunity with Terry around is well worth it. It's going to be fun to see them squirm

European Commissioner Nielson pledges a further €6.2 million for Iran earthquake victims
European Commissioner Poul Nielson on visit to Iran announced a further €6.2 million for Bam earthquake victims.
The European Commission (EC) has adopted a €6.2 million humanitarian aid decision for the population of Bam in south-eastern Iran affected by the tragic earthquake on December 26, 2003. This latest decision will help continued efforts to meet the most urgent needs of the victims, and will focus on health care, hygiene, sanitation, and psycho-social support. The funds are managed by the Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO).
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Bam earthquake led to the death of 41,000 people. It left 30,000 people injured and about 45,000 homeless in the area whose population before the earthquake was estimated at 210,000 people. Some 25,000 buildings have been destroyed. — (menareport.com)

Beleaguered San Diego Mayor Bob Filner steps down tomorrow after announcing his resignation last week as part of a deal approved Friday. The deal was brokered by City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, Council President Todd Gloria and Councilman Kevin Faulconer. After the announcement, the three men met with the U-T San Diego Editorial Board to talk about the process and the state of the city. Here are condensed and edited excerpts of the interview.
Q: Your reaction to the mayor's resignation speech?
GLORIA: There were pieces of it that I thought were very poignant, authentic. I think there were some pieces of it that didn't show he understood the public's feelings on this situation. But we've seen that throughout this episode. You know his call for continuing some of his agenda is true. I think that was why he had to resign, that those things that he cared so deeply about, the diversity of the neighborhoods south of 8, binational relationships — that's just stuff that wasn't going to be possible with him in office. And I'm certainly interested in continuing many of those things. I know that the council is as well. And I'm sure the next mayor will be. But it was uneven.
FAULCONER: I think the first introductory sentences were right on point. But when we talk about the lynch mob, there wasn't quite an understanding of some of the reasons that led to today. Today was one of the most important days that we've had in a very long time in the city. Because now we can take our city back and move forward. That, to me, was one of the biggest results of today, and a lot of hard work.
GOLDSMITH: It was all professional. I mean I had a mayor who didn't consult with the city attorney. It was never personal. I liked when he mentioned that we're all one community. I liked when he mentioned that he's going to continue with his professional help. Beyond that I've seen thousands of parties after a settlement is completed and they kind of say some things, they grumble as they walk away. He didn't want to give up what he gave up and that's normal in a settlement. The fact that it's in the political atmosphere just heightened the rhetoric. But I think he feels no different from other people who have settled lawsuits.
Q: Tell us about the three days of mediation, not the process, but what did he want that he didn't get?
GOLDSMITH: All the terms were negotiated and we're not permitted to do that because that does discuss the substance of the mediation. I can't talk about the substance. I will say that each term in that agreement, each line was negotiated. By law, mediation is confidential.
Q: Talk, then, about the atmosphere. What was it like in that room during those three days?
GOLDSMITH: We didn't all stay in one room. Mediation is such where you can be put in different rooms. It was very professional, somewhat intense at times. The mediator, Judge Irving, was as good as he's always been. He is the best. The atmosphere was professional and businesslike. There were no outbursts. We dealt with it very professionally.
FAULCONER: We were focused and united on achieving the result that we achieved today, which I believe was a very good one for the city. The three of us were united, and you don't often see that in city politics.
Q: Tell us a little more about the administrative mess that exists at City Hall now. How big a mess is it? What are the problems?
GLORIA: I don't know that we know, and that has gotten lost among the sexual misconduct allegations, understandably. What we know is a lot of stuff has been kept on the mayor's desk with no action for months now, many, many things. I don't know what his objections were. But we know that his managerial style meant a lot of things that should just be flowing naturally, weren't. I think there's going to be a large backup of stuff that needs to be done. And then there's a lot of cleanup that's necessary. Obviously, what's been going on in the Development Services Department, with what seems to be a "pay for play culture," we're aware of two instances. But I don't know that that's all of them. We need to get to the bottom of that. When I spoke after the council meeting (Friday) I outlined a few things that we're going to do right away. One is to ask Walt Ekard to lead an effort to do a top-down review of every department and make sure that our folks are playing by the rules. And to the extent that we have some knowledge of things that have not happened, we're going to root that out and fix it. The two instances in Development Services that we're aware of are significant legal land mines. And if there are others we need to know about them and we need to work to diffuse them as we've done with the help of the city attorney and the council on some previous cases. So suffice to say, we don't know the answer to the size of what has all been going on. It's the first order of business and we'll fix it quickly.
Q: Is it your belief that under the city charter that the acting mayor has the power to fire and hire if he wants or make serious personnel changes? What is the limit on his authority to deal with Filner's remaining staff?
GOLDSMITH: It depends. There's nothing that says you can't hire them, you can't fire them. We're looking at it, but our initial reaction is we need to take a practical approach. The whole purpose of having an interim mayor is to help get this city through an interim period, to manage the city, to make sure it works well. You've got to have people you can work with. It doesn't say you can't fire them or hire them. But our lawyers are looking at that. I'm in favor of a practical approach to it. He cannot make long-standing commitments because it's interim. He cannot veto. I don't think you can make appointments like a three-year appointment to something because that's a long-standing commitment. But on an interim basis, I think you've got to be able to give the freedom to actually manage a multibillion-dollar operation.
Q: You don't get to sign contracts though, right?
GOLDSMITH: He can sign contracts. Now there may be long-term contracts that he may want to go to the council on. So we're going to have to play a little bit by ear.
Q: People were a little bit on eggshells in the moments after Bob's speech. But Bob's up there telling the big lie: "I was chased out by a cabal of downtown interest groups. The 'man' snuffed me out." As leaders of the conversation in our community and as important political agents who shape the fabric of the conversation, what's your intention with that story line — are you just going to leave it sitting there?
GLORIA: It really tries to absolve him of his actions. And what we know is that there are a number of allegations, things that he basically has admitted to. That is why we got to this point. Obviously I disagree with him. And you have to create a narrative, perhaps, to allow yourself to live with yourself. And that's only human.
FAULCONER: The sexual harassment wasn't created by a lynch mob. It wasn't created by a cabal. It was his actions. And he needs to come to terms and come to grips with that. Only he can do that. We talk about an agenda. It was an agenda that I believe was missing in action since he got elected. When we look at the agenda that this city supported, much of it in the voting booth — whether that was pension reform, whether that was managed competition — and Bob Filner gets in from day one and leaves five competitions that were ready to go sitting on his desk that could save this city tens of millions of dollars. And they're still sitting on his desk. The voters approved. That's not an agenda that helps neighborhoods. That doesn't help any neighborhood. I look a little skeptical when I hear things like that because I know what this city needs and wants and what we've been doing to turn the ship around. He turned us the opposite direction. And now we have the ability to get back on track.
Q: Can you comfort the citizens that we're not going to be at a 90- or 135-day state of suspension right now?
FAULCONER: We're going to work well together. I think you've seen that from the council, from Todd and I and working with our city attorney. If we couldn't work together we wouldn't be here today. We wouldn't have gotten this result. It wasn't easy. We can put politics aside to do what's right for the city. This is going to be a difficult time for the city. Things won't be normal. But at the same time we have the trust in the relationship.
Q: Had the whole sexual harassment incident never happened do you think the Filner administration would have unraveled sooner or later with all the other transgressions?
GLORIA: I would say that it was obvious to me that it was unsustainable, that there were so many things that weren't happening from contracts, the appointments to the SDCERS board, so many things that were just sort of fundamental competency questions that eventually this just was not going to work out. Simple things like SANDAG appointments that should not have been controversial but they were.
FAULCONER: Look at our Port appointments.
GLORIA: The Port appointments, the TMD and so many things that should have been negotiations and compromise and trying to do what's the best for the city. That wasn't how these decisions were being made. I think even those who generally agreed with his policy positions were even starting to say, "Oh, this is not right." Again, I think the right word is that it was unsustainable. I don't know how long it would have gone.
Q: What do you think is important for the people of San Diego to know at this time that we've not already talked about?
GLORIA: We've been falling backward for months now. That ends today. And we are going to start moving forward. We're going to do the stuff that San Diegans expect us to do, pave their streets and fix their sidewalks and get a police officer or firefighter to their doorstep when they need it. And then we're going to take up on the stuff that hasn't been getting done. I'm very concerned about the Balboa Park Centennial. I think the mayor's efforts in that area have really left that in jeopardy. We're going to go on there and figure out a way to make sure that we still have something that is worthy of San Diegans and of our crown jewel. Obviously we have the opening of our downtown central library on Sept. 28. That should be a day of great celebration. We have a very key coastal commission hearing in October for the expansion of our Convention Center. There are so many things that can get done in the next three to five months of this interim period that these will be productive times. We will not lose ground. We have been losing ground. That ends now. Everyone has felt the national embarrassment, the scorn. You can't go anywhere without being asked about our mayor. I think there's a pause or a question whether or not we are still America's Finest City, but we are. And we always will be. We had a bad mayor. The mayor's now gone. We're going to move forward.
FAULCONER: Bob Filner did not represent who we are as a city. He did not represent San Diegans at its base level. San Diego is better than Bob Filner. And everybody in town knew that as we went through this. We were the butt of national jokes and international jokes. And that tires very quickly. After a lot of hard work we're going to restore our pride back in our city. People believe in San Diego. But we need a city government that reflects that, that people think is going to do their best to work together, not this dysfunction, this pure dysfunction that defined city government for the last several months. We are a great city. San Diegans are going to breathe a sigh of relief and know that we're getting back to work and we can get back to focus on the business at hand. There's a lot of important projects that we have to do and we're ready for them. And we're going to get them done.
GOLDSMITH: San Diego is in pretty good shape. We've got a structurally balanced budget, five-year MOUs with our six labor unions, pension reform last year that we've defended and it's being implemented, saving us about $900 million. We do pretty well compared to a lot of cities. We have so many things going for us. So we had a problem — and when we have problems they're doozies — that we faced up to and we're going to go back to pretty good shape. We're going to get a new mayor. We're going to have some stability. We will be functional. And then we'll be laughing at New York City, Washington, D.C. We faced up to it. A lot of cities let it linger on and on and on. We took a strategy to get it resolved and we got it resolved and now we're going to move on.

Gordon Muchall starred with 66* and 49.
The Durham Second XI had mixed results when they took on Yorkshire in two T20 matches at York yesterday.
The day was highlighted by the result in match two with Durham chasing down 237 in 19.3 overs to record a remarkable victory after going down in the first match earlier in the day.
Playing on an excellent pitch at York CC with a short boundary on the one side the day started with a three wicket loss in a high scoring affair.
Losing the toss and batting first Durham posted 195-3 with the innings highlighted by a 140 run partnership between Latham (105 from 61) and Muchall (49 from 39).
With such a big total on the board Durham should have been able to defend the total but Yorkshire chased it down with an over to spare, seven wickets down.
Jamie Harrison was the pick of the Durham bowlers taking 3-24 and Max Morely took 1-30.
Game two saw another run-fest with Yorkshire batting first this time posting a mammoth 237-2 in their 20 overs.
In an extraordinary run chase, Durham were able to chase the runs down with three balls to spare with just 3 wickets down, finishing on 240-3 off 19.3 overs.
The Durham innings was contributed by Singh (93 from 44), Arshad (56 from 29), Muchall (66* from 34) and Wallace (19 from 9).
The Seconds team next face Nottinghamshire next Monday in another T20 clash, you can follow scores via our Twitter page @DurhamCricket.

The idea of wearing fur is so hard for many of us to accept that it is hard to get past the intellectual argument of why wearing fur is not necessarily evil. While one business group promotes fur as "green," another respected animal rights organization insists that fur is environmentally wrong. Both sides, however, have much work to do in making their cases.
At Christmastime, a Canadian member of Parliament ruffled feathers when he sent out a holiday card with his family decked in fur lined coats. What anyone chooses to wear in his Christmas card is no one's business but his or own business, but animal rights groups attacked Justin Trudeau and his family quicker than they could wolf down veggie burgers.
Advocating for fur amongst the sustainability mafia is about as wise as preaching universal health care at a tea party rally. Fur coats smack of excess and ostentatious wealth, and in most climates are just not practical. I admit I felt nauseous as a student in Washington DC during Bill Clinton's 1993 Inauguration: the official uniform of the Democratic Party–at least for women visiting that cold January–appeared to be fur coats that looked out of place from the National Museum of Natural History to the DC Metro. Nevertheless, in Russia and other countries that have obnoxiously cold winters, nothing warms the body better than a fur coat, and nothing prevents heat escaping from your head more effectively than a fur cap. In the end, what someone wants to wear is one's own business: let divas be divas, or at least pretend to be divas. The animal rights debate will always rage, so let us ask another question: is the wearing of fur green?
According to the Fur Council of Canada (FCC) the answer is a resounding yes. Not wanting to miss out on the fun that comes from a declaration that an organization is "sustainable," "socially responsible," or "green," the Montreal-based group launched FurIsGreen.com. The group brings up some fur for thought:
- Animals are a renewable resource, and the group ensures that endangered animal skins drape human bodies. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, are made of petroleum, and the FCC claims that minimal chemicals are used in the processing of fur.
- Fur farming is sustainable in that the entire animal is used, not just the pelts. Everything from nose to tail ends up in oil, fertilizer, and "other products."
- Up to 70,000 Canadians, many of them aboriginal peoples for whom animal trapping is their sole source of income, work within the fur industry in Canada.
The huge issue with FurIsGreen.com, however, is that the portal is a marketing tool, not an effective educational site effective enough to counter hysteria that rises up at the mention or sight of a full-length mink. The industry professes to be "fair trade," but gives no examples or stories about the folks who harvest these pelts. How is the industry fair trade, and now much money from that 4- or 5-figure mink coat goes to the blokes who work at the source? Are animals really treated humanely, or are they raised in factory farms, as the US Humane Society claims? Perhaps the most ridiculous claim is that a fur coat can be composted, as if that fact would be behind any consumer's decision to buy that sable coat–especially if at the same time that fox coat is durable and recyclable.
If FurIsGreen.com lacks persuasiveness, arguments against fur cause the eyes to roll up northward as well. The US Humane Society (USHS) posits many of the leading arguments against the fur industry, but most of their points make it transparent that its advocates just do not like fur.
- Pollution from fur is the big no-no, and that could be valid point from factory farms. But while the USHS clearly studied their chemistry and listed an impressive array of pollutants that the fur industry spews into the atmosphere (CO, NOx, SO2, HCI, VOC, WTF, IMHO, and LOL), just about every industrial activity causes pollution. Furthermore while I do not doubt that the US mink industry annually dumps 1,000 tons of phosphorus into the environment, let's keep that number in context: 68,000 tons of phosphorus gets dumped into the St. Lawrence River alone each year. Add all the lakes and rivers that are inundated with pollution, and we are talking about a relatively tiny amount.
- While I do not doubt that "a tremendous amount of gasoline is used by trappers to check their trap lines on a regular basis," that probably does not compare to the emissions spouted out by SUV limousine drivers that go from fur store to fur store in making the final purchases (why did the USHS leave that out?) . . . nor the greenhouse gases emitted by trucks moving organic produce from farms to wholesalers to supermarkets.
- "After animals have been killed by gassing, neck-breaking, or anal or genital electrocution on fur confinement operations, or after crushing, drowning, shooting or strangulation on trap lines, (animals) skin is removed . . ." Well, while that certainly deserves an Oprah episode–so she can send Lisa Ling to do the dirty undercover work, again the USHS distracts us with this imagery ,when their argument purports to demonstrate the environmental evils of the fur industry. Such tactics, if indeed used up North, are indeed vile, but that has nothing to do with the whether or not fur is "green."
Just as there are many ways to skin a rabbit, there are plenty of points and counterpoints that fur lovers and haters can discuss without both sides reaching any sort of agreement. The animal rights issue is separate from the sustainability question, so let Temple Grandin step in and sort that out–though in fairness the FCC claims that many animals are gassed with carbon monoxide, a process admittedly a tad creepy.
FurIsGreen.com's attempt to "educate" does little to mollify the anti-fur crowd, and co-opting trendy buzzwords like "eco-friendly" does not make their messages true or convincing. Any "green" message, unfortunately for the FCC, rings hallow. Meanwhile, many of us who love animals and are horrified at the thought of sables for sale have to remember that if we drive, use disposable plastic products, fly, eat meat, and yes, nosh on cash crops like wheat or soy, we all have a direct impact on our furry friends one way or another. Fur may be gauche, but there are causes far more worthy of a fight.
Leon Kaye owns two leather jackets and a fur lined parka, eats grass fed beef and veggie burgers, bikes across LA, gardens yet insists the best raspberries are from Serbia, and flies abroad whenever he has the chance; charges of hypocrisy do not bother him one bit.

Expert Opinions
In tight economic times, international dialogue on regulations is imperative
Secretary of the UNECE Working Party on Regulatory Cooperation and Standardization Policies
Because of different and often conflicting regulations, exporting a product or a large piece of equipment to more than one country can be like navigating a maze. And the costs of complying with these regulations are further inflated by the various tests and certificates.
The United Nations has reported that in recent years, government-mandated testing and certification requirements have increased almost seven-fold. But times may finally be about to change.
In a tight economy, companies can't afford to be spending money on multiple costly tests. Governments are also realizing that by insisting on these tests they're reducing the incentives for corporations to export innovative products to small markets.
As President Barack Obama recently stated: "international regulatory cooperation … can reduce, eliminate, or prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements" . (Executive Order 13609)
It's now time for regulatory authorities to renew dialogue. Dialogue entails a very small investment but reaps large benefits for business communities across borders. And, like in our interpersonal relationships, dialogue promotes trust. Ultimately, regulatory authorities need to trust the tests carried out by their partner countries before they'll allow products tested elsewhere into their own markets.
Regulatory dialogue constitutes a vital step towards the free circulation of goods, the transfer of knowledge and technology, and the achievement of sustainable production and consumption.

Libreville - Gabon opposition leader Andre Mba Obame on Sunday left UN offices where he had been holed up since January 25 after declaring himself president.
Mba Obame, along with about 30 people from his self-declared "government" and National Unity party, left the offices of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Libreville at about 10:15 (09:15 GMT), an AFP reporter said.
He was greeted by about 50 supporters and as many police, but police did not intervene.
Mba Obame was to meet with party supporters later on Sunday. Several dozen of his supporters were already at party headquarters where riot police had been deployed, an AFP reporter said.
Mba Obame, a former foreign minister who is claiming victory in Gabon's 2009 presidential poll, took refuge in the UN offices after declaring himself president last month.
Hours after the announcement, the interior ministry announced that Mba Obame's National Unity party was immediately dissolved and he and his supporters were stripped of their official duties and faced treason charges.
President Ali Bongo Ondimba was ultimately declared the winner of the disputed vote.

EX-OFFENDERS will gain more support from next month as the JobCentre co-locates to Ealing Community Hub in Craven Road.
The move, from March 10, will add to the profile of support services for ex-offenders.
Citizens Trust Business Manager Ian Whitehead said: "Through working together and sharing our knowledge and expertise, we offer a real chance of a future for ex-offenders genuinely wanting to rebuild their lives."
An initiative of the Citizens Trust, Ealing Community Hub works in partnership with agencies to provide training programmes and job prospects.
The Hub currently consists of London Probation Trust, substance misuse and rehabilitation agency Ealing RISE, housing partner Equinox and the Met Police. It provides immediate provides accommodation, drugs and alcohol support, offers benefits advice and also registers individuals with an education, training and employment adviser.
Artist, a probation service user said: "Coming to the Hub and seeing other people working towards education and training opportunities gave me the motivation to want to achieve the same things."
Most individuals registered with Ealing's IOM team have committed crimes to help fund their drug habit, including robbery, burglary and motor vehicle crime.
Sgt Russell Wren, head of Ealing Integrated Offender Management Unit, said: "Our team focuses on managing prolific offenders, who are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime in the community.
"The Community Hub is a great asset and helps us build positive relationships between police and offenders through joint sessions with our partner agencies."
The Ealing Hub has also attracted attention from Ealing Advice Centre, which is considering a Hub base for a number of days per week.

Alternate Steps
- Approach can and open it up. (Opening does not cause aggression, taking does)
- Line up with a distant warp place like stations or moon, etc.
- Begin to warp to it.
- Right before warping, dump the contents of the can into your cargo.
- This alternative takes a tad bit of practice but you can do it with industrial ships for a huge amount of cargo space and do not need AB or MWD for it to work.
- They can attack you for 15 minutes after you steal.
- You will be branded a pirate.

Help me, my heart is breaking(41 Posts)
My mother dislikes my DP.
We have been together 2 years, engaged for 6 months. I've always known that he earns less than my parents would have liked, but ultimately I thought they liked him. They said they did.
My mother is very controlling, and I am well aware that I seek her approval for everything, she knows this too. Therefore, even though I am 27 she has a lot of influence. This is definitely partly my own fault.
When my DP proposed my first thought was that my mum would not approve. It was literally my first thought, as he was on one knee with a ring. I've cried about this a lot since and only told one person in RL. Then he said everyone at home already knew and I cried in relief (he thinks it's because I was touched that he asked my dad). My parents said they were happy, we had wedding discussions.
My DP and I both live at home. I am buying a house and we are going to live together. There is a difference in earnings and savings, hence I am buying the house. My parents have been fine with this for the last 10 weeks. I am a week away from completion and they have turned against my DP and have decided he's only with me for my money.
I have been good at saving, he has not. I went to university and I have a good career. I earn above the average wage, but it's by no means megabucks. I'm not going to paint myDP as a saint, he's a postman and currently works 29 hours a week, so technically not full time. He does need to pull his finger out and get a full time job. My mother has always known this, he's not hidden anything from them.
For the past 2 days I have been subjected to a torrent of venom from my mother about my DP. He's using me, he doesn't love me, I'll never be able to afford to have children and if I do they will be little chavs, they wanted better for me, I can do better blah blah blah.
They say he doesn't show me affection and our relationship is not normal. My DP is very uncomfortable around my parents because they've never hidden that they don't think he's good enough. So he isn't himself around them.
My mother wants me to find a man who earns enough that I can retire at 30 to have babies
like she did. Never mind that my DP is warm, caring, trustworthy, funny, makes me feel loved and safe. She only sees the lack of pound signs.
I've had this none stop during breakfast this morning and for nearly an hour after I came home from work. Work was actually 10 hours of blessed relief.
I know they want what's best for me but this is making me miserable. I feel like any second she's going to hiss and spit at me that I have to choose. She said this morning that any inheritance will go to my children not me "because he's not getting any of it, so there's no use waiting for us go die". She can be very hurtful. It's not the money, it's they attitude behind this that upsets me.
The worst part is that she keeps saying that he doesn't love me and he's using me, so much that I'm starting to wonder, what if it is true? I've never doubted DP loves me and I don't think money has anything to do with that.
Sorry this is so long, I dont mind if nobody reads or replies,It was good just to get it out. I dont have any close friends and I can't talk to DP about it, I cant say all this hurtful shit to him.
I just don't know what to do.
Hi there.
What an awful scenario for you - I didn't want it to slip off the board without a reply.
It goes without saying that your parents do not get to choose your future husband. Only you can make that choice.
My immediate reaction is to keep them at arms length until they can behave. Oh - and marry your dp of course!
I'm so sorry they are being like this. Is it just out and out snobbery or what?
Do you love him? Does he make you happy? Do you a think you're parents are right about him?
Your relationship is none of their buisiness and you shouldn't allow them to run your life, it's natural for parents to be concerned but not for them to feel they have any say in what goes on
You need to take a step back. If my parents spoke about my DH like that I would be furious and tell them in no uncertain terms that it was not on
Well, I think she needs to take a step back, but I can understand her worrying about your finances. He isn't working full time. Could he? You are the one buying a house, which he will live in, too. He will then have rights to that house, won't he? I can see why she would worry that if you had children you wouldn't be able to manage. She's dealt with it badly. I can see how he doesn't feel comfortable around her but is there any truth in what she says about him not being affectionate?
I think she's panicking and it's showing her in a bad light.
It seems as though the imminent house purchase has sent your mother into overdrive. She's had you under her influence all the time you've been living under her roof and the penny has finally dropped that you're not going to be there in future. She's lashing out in a mean and hurtful way. Shame on her.
You, on the other hand are about to move into your very own house (with your DP?) and start a more independent life. You love him, he loves you - cling to this. She may have even more hurtful comments in her arsenal, but tell yourself it's only xx days till you're away from them. Keep strong, tell her to keep her opinions to herself and focus on your future.
She'll probably have a massive sulk, but you'll be busy with your new home and your man, so let her sulk!
Only you can decide. I am sorry your parents are behaving like this, but I am sure they have your best interests at heart. If DP is right for you they will come to realise that.
My mother is very controlling, and I am well aware that I seek her approval for everything, she knows this too.
You have said it yourself in a nutshell. This is not about your DP. It is your mother.
She will destroy your relationship with your DP. She will interfere in any future relationship you will have. She will interfere if you get pregnant with any DC. She will not stop.
The only way to stop this is for you to get help from some external source like counselling to break the lifetime of habit you have grown up with.
And it is not going to be pretty because your mother will not let go easy.
Only one person can change this. You.
Thanks for the replies, I didn't expect so many.
My DP is very affectionate when we are together but acts very reserved around my parents, especially my mother because she is rude to him.
My DP could work full time but his job pays well per hour so many full time jobs earn the same or less for full time. But I agree he could do more, like I said he's not a saint. With regards to the house he has no rights to it if we were to split up (checked with solicitor) and he is aware that without a full time job or 2 part time jobs we will not able to have children without a struggle financially. I have told him it's important to me that he tries to get more hours because I would like to have children.
My mother is used to being in control of everything and everyone. I agree that she is panicking and realising she can't control this. She has done this before, decided she didnt like my last boyfriend and went on and on. In the end I stood up to her and told her to back off. He was an arse, and I realised that and we split up, so I guess she feels she got her own way. She didn't, it was my choice.
I think there is snobbery here, not that we are posh or anything, my dad works hard. Mum hasn't worked really since she had me, I'm 27. She keeps changing her mind about stuff- one minute she's saying I shouldn't look for a second hand sofa as I can afford new, now she's saying I shouldn't buy new (its only IKEA!) and I should look inthd red cross shop! I never know if what was ok 5 minutes ago is going to spark an argument. Eggshells come to mind.
I realise my mother will interfere when I have a DC. It's been on my mind. It's even crossed my mind that she's so likely to have a go at me if she feels the financial situation is wrong that I'd be better off saying it was accidental, even if much wanted and tried for.... I'm not thinking about getting pregnant but I think about these things.
I feel I need to talk to someone. I have a family friend (more mine than family) who is objective, a mum herself and would listen but she's very busy and I don't want to be a pain or burden her. I feel quite unwell, emotionally I mean. My sister is the historic depressive who used to self harm, so nobody dares upset her, but nobody considers I might be feeling the same.
Your mum sounds like a nightmare. But you need to take control.
If you love this man then tell her to butt out and let you live your life. Try using phrases like "you raised me to be independent" and "i love you and I appreciate your concerns but if this carries on you will lose me" it may take some harsh words to make her wake up.
Good luck
Hi drama,
Like others have said, this is all about your mum. It sounds like she might have been living life through her children a bit to much, so she is too invested in your decisions to be able to let you live your own life and make your own mistakes. You need to find a way to create some distance between you and her. A confrontation many not be easy, so think it through so that you are taking control in a way that is easy for you, and not as a response to her erratic and controlling behavior.
There is nothing wrong with being a postman. I know a lovely couple, the wife is a gp, and the husband is a postman. They are very happy and have 3 lovely children.
Yo seem to be making good decisions. Trust yourself. You are not a child any more, so stand firm in the course of action you have decided on.
Good luck!
Others have said lots of sensible things. Can you move out to rent somewhere until you've completed on your house? it really sounds as though you need some physical distance from your Mum.
God this was me when DH proposed. My parents had plenty to say, especially my Dad who was & still is a total arse about it. My DH is still made to feel v unwelcome in their home & whilst we've tried, it's now easier for me to pop & see them with the DCs without him because we can't be bothered with the hassle. The sad thing is, we've been together 20 yrs, live 1 mile from them & things could be very different.
Our survival techniques have been to stand united, be pleasant & polite but for the love of God stick to your guns about what matters to you & the decisions you make. Repeat like a mantra- I'm a grown up!! Your Dm is trying to wear you down.
However, despite all this, please be careful with buying the house, I think it's sensible for anyone to protect their interests & investment. It may not be romantic but I think it's important to look after your money & financial security.
Your relationship is between you & DP. No one else. Stand firm!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
If you are only week away from completion then pack a bag and go and stay with a friend or in a cheap hotel for the next week. Don't engage with her and don't defend yourself or explain your actions - just tell her you are not prepared to be verbally abused and emotionally blackmailed.
You need to demonstrate to your mother that you are an adult woman, earning an adult wage, and can make adult decisions about what you do with YOUR money and YOUR life.
I was about to ask about your mum's situation but you answered it for me:
" Mum hasn't worked really since she had me"
I am possibly going to offend some people here, but it is not meant to be an insult. Anecdotally I see that if there is a mother who is very motivated by what the husband can provide for a daughter, i.e. cash, they have very often been SAHM's. My personal view is that they have probably at times in their marriage felt very vulnerable and the only thing they think has got them through it is the available cash.
Being reliant on a man sucks. Your mum has been reliant on a man all her life and she is projecting her fears about what it is like.
You are financially independent. Don't EVER give that up, especially when you have children.
Try and be really confident in your decisions and not be aggressive or rude to your mum, but maybe saying "you sound like you are worried about my financial status when or if I have children. I will always work, I have a good job and so will always be fine, even if my DP does turn out to be the a hole you think he is".
I'm sorry, but if your DP is contributing to the house in any way, either to the deposit or to paying the mortgage or both, he will be entitled to a proportionate return of his outlay should you split up.
Your mother sounds like she wants you to turn into a golddigger(!) but actually there is something in what she says, should you marry and divorce, as with a man who supports a wife for a long time, a man who earns less than a woman may be entitled to aliment on divorce.
Are 29 hours per week normal for a postman? If not, at 29 and about to buy a first house with his partner, he should be doing more with his time.
You sound very immature and dependent on your parents for your age. You need to learn to stand up for yourself. But you are buying the house so go ahead! I take it from what you have said that it is in your own name? Why is your DP not on the mortgage and joint purchaser if his job pays well?
Your partner sounds lazy. At his age he should be working full time and saving for the future. From what you have said he gets to live in your house without having to make any effort for it himself, that doesn't sound right to me. You need to have a really good think about this situation.
As a mother of adult children myself I can see where your mother is coming from. I would never say the things she is saying but I would have concerns.
Thanks everyone.
My dad said a while ago that he was pleased I was able to be financially independent. They seem to sway between liking my house, seeing it as a good investment and a good starter home and mourning the fact that if I had met a man with similar or better income and savings I could have got something bigger and more expensive. There seems to be no pride at all in the fact that I saved hard and at 27 am able to buy my own house, with no help from anyone, (except a mortgage obviously), which is harder and harder these days.
My mum does try to wear me down. I guess mostly it works. I am worried that she will get in a rage and tell me I have to choose between my family and my DP. I want a relationship with both, obviously. My DP and I have just spoken, he can tell I'm upset, he knows it's probably my mother's doing. I can't see them all getting along and it makes me very sad. Obviously I don't tell him what she says exactly.
I genuinely don't think money has anything to do with why he's with me, in fact he has said it would all be a lot easier if I had less of it. But we met online and mum thinks he saw my profession, which is one where people often think we earn more than we do, and is with me for my salary. I put my job on there so I would meet like minded people, or at least someone who wasn't disgusted like my first boyfriend (I do a normal job, honest, he was just weird!).
Regarding the house I am paying the mortgage, so the house is in my name, there no return to DP should we split up.
He is not on the mortgage because he had no savings to put down as deposit. My mum, funny enough, originally suggested buying the house with me putting down the deposit and splitting the mortgage, so owning different percentages of the house as tenants in common with a deed of trust drawn up by solicitor. The solicitor felt it wasn't wise financially so I decided to buy, primarily for my independence. A friend did a similar thing when she was in a position to buy and her DP was not.
We are furnishing the house together and obviously splitting all bills and living expenses. I can see his work ethic is not the best but he is looking for better work. At the end of the day, if it doesn't work out we go our separate ways and I still have my house. But if that happens if will be my decision, not due to the immense pressure to ditch him and stay at home under my mum's rule until a suitably rich man comes along and she agrees to release me to him.
And until a few months ago he had no idea I could afford a decent deposit on a house, it came as quite a surprise and was well after our engagement.
I guess I'm buying the house because, although he is saving well at the moment, it would be a long time until we could do it together and I don't want to wait that long for independence. I want to eat a meal in peace, it's the favourite time for an ambush at the moment. I'm treated like a child and I need distance to change that.
Regarding the house I am paying the mortgage, so the house is in my name, there no return to DP should we split up
So he isn't paying anything at all to live there? While wise from the point of view of property ownership, does this not strike you as slightly odd?
Still be careful that if you split up and he is paying bills, maintenance and decoration costs, that he does not try to claim these back.
Is it perhaps the fact that he is a grown man who doesn't propose to pay anything at all for his own accommodation that is bothering your mother? Perhaps she simply means a man who is equal or near equal to you in terms of income and work ethic, and who could enable you to give up work should the time be right?
But yes, a good idea not to put him on the mortgage I think.
I think this is what she would like, the option for me to give up work should I wish to.
However, DP is aware of the need to buck his ideas up and, while I am aware that I cannot rely on things to change, surely he gets the chance to prove himself?
We have an arrangement 're him paying something for his accommodation but I'm trying not to out myself too much here, although I probably already have.
Is your solicitor aware that you're engaged? Because although it's true that he'd have no claim to it while he's your DP, it would become a marital asset once you're married. He could be seen as contributing to it simply by enabling your career, particularly if you continue to work once you have dc, and it sounds like you'll have to do that. I have known women who were not on the mortgage to get half the house (and more) in a divorce because of this reasoning.
I think your mother's view is quite harsh, but I can also understand her concerns. I have known a few friends who, although they love their DHs, admit feeling frustrated once they have dc, at being the breadwinner and not having the option of taking longer maternity leave/being able to drop hours, because their DHs don't have enough earning capacity to keep the household going. There is also the risk that if anything happens to you (health, redundancy), your DH cannot pick up the slack financially on his salary - I've seen a few families fall victim to this and it's been worse in this economic climate as there's no safety net at all.
Having said that, I am a much lower earner than DH and I have a different work ethic to him - I enjoy my work but have other interests too, and DH is happy to support me in that. I've never had any negative attitudes to our different incomes/ambitions and I contribute to the household in many other ways. DH finds it much easier to run the household with me than he did on his own - due to my shorter/flexible working hours I'm able to deal with things like tradesmen, deliveries, housework, meals and DIY, so he can focus on his work. You might find it handy to have a DP who has shorter working hours and is around to deal with all of that as well, especially as you've never had to run your own household before.
Thanks canineteeth these are all valid points.
My solicitor is aware we are engaged. My DP has said he would not object to a pre nup agreement, which should signal to my mum that he's not the gold digger she thinks he is, she knows he has said this.
I am aware I may feel differently once I have DC, and this does concern me a bit.
My mum has a very old fashioned view on male and female roles. I pointed out that one of my male friends has his own house, bought in his name as he's single and if he met a girl with lower income then she would move in with him. She replied "but that would be the right way round" as in he would support her and that would be ok. Would it be ok if I was male and DP female, I wonder? I'm not sure.
You seem to have sorted out finances for when you marry, and it either of you do decide ( and one never really knows) to spilt, then future inequality of original financial input can be arranged.
Ensure the split of income when married is fair, either the same into a joint account for bills, own savings etc. also, if you did have children, there is no reason why he can't be a sahd if he is a postie doing those hours and you get to stay in a job you enjoy. ( that might set the cat among the pigeons) !
Its up to you who you choose as a life partner. Its also up to you to protect your assets as you see fit, and i think a back agreement or pre nup is fine. I think I would do a bit of straight talking with your parents tbh, and I would be interested to know why they have started to fuss now.
I would also say " this is the last time I am going to hear all this about my future dh, so get it all out now" write down all their concerns, answer them as best you can. If they don't like your answers its your choice in the end.
My parents were a bit like this, but as I got older and still unmarried with no hint of a gc, they dropped their standards

Setting Up xauth or xhost
Good morning!!!
I´m having a trouble experince using a Gtk app so itsn´t running X Display. There is a message " ERROR: X: Can't open display ":0.0". Then I "googled" a lot and found out a correction. Now I'm worried about Xhost + and Xauthority uses.
Then I decided to do as Root and it solved:
xauth merge ~normal/.Xauthority
1)Is it really safety?
2)How can I correct permanently this system operation unless a rc.local script because after reboot problem returned?
To allow root (and other local users) to run grafical apps, you can put this in your .xinitrc file:
xhost +local:
And is this safety so this is a server application?
xauth is safer than "xhost +" which is best avoided.
One trick I use to start things that have to run as root is starting it like this:
su -l root -c "XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY DISPLAY=$DISPLAY xconsole"
The best way to approach this probably depends on exactly what it is you're attempting to do
Then, let's go!!! I intend to run a Gtk programm and it was installed in root operations. After that I edited sudoers and added normal user to run this application.
sudoers file.
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
# Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors
# that prevent sudo from running.
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# Defaults specification
# Runas alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
normal ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/lanbr
normal ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/xlanbr
# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
Then I' m using a normal kdm login manager and running this programm to get normal user account. I did xauth merge and it was ok!!
xauth merge ~normal/.Xauthority
But it isn´t sustained after reboot. How can I save it?
You're looking at it the wrong way around. You're not meant to try and save it. ~/.Xauthority is regenerated by kdm every time a new X session is started. You have to ensure that you're client program is referencing the latest version of the file (or more accurately a copy of the cookie it contains for the display to be used).
I don't normally use sudo, but from a quick test, it seems that sudo passes both XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY variables into the environment of the command to be run, so as long as those two variables are set correctly before you run the "sudo /usr/bin/xlanbr" it doesn't look as if you should have to mess with anything else to make it work.
But how can I ensure to be a normal user client in this program? Where is a Mit Magic Cookie for this normal user and where to copy it? I get xauth-list cookie only to remote and root ?
I'm sorry but I think we're having language difficulties. I can't understand your question. Let me try and recap on how it hangs together, and perhaps that'll help you get an idea of how to handle this.
When you login, KDM (or startx if you don't use a *DM) creates the magic cookie for the display and stores the details of that cookie in the file pointed to by the logged in users $XAUTHORITY. In your case I believe this is the user you've named 'normal'.
Now for any X program to connect to the display, it will need the information in that cookie and it searches the $XAUTHORITY file to find it. For client programs started directly by the logged in user everything is already in place. However, client programs started by other users won't have the information for that cookie in their $XAUTHORITY file and it will need to be added.
There are 2 ways they can get it.
The logged in user can run "xauth extract /path/to/somefile $DISPLAY" and give somefile to the other user.
This second user then runs "xauth merge /path/to/somefile" which will load the details of the extracted cookie into its own $XAUTHORITY file.
The second user can now run X clients on the display just as if it owned the display.
If the second user can directly read the original users $XAUTHORITY file (which the local root user can), then it should be able to get away with skipping the above and cheat by just setting its $XAUTHORITY to point to the original user's .Xauthority file.
Method 1 is the more correct way. Method 2, is a bit of a 'quick and dirty' trick.
Now, from my quick test with sudo, I discovered that sudo passes the $XAUTHORITY variable unchanged, so in theory when you start something which is to be run as root, via sudo from the logged in users account then method 2 as described above should just happen.
If you can't get 2) to work, you'll need to figure out a way of doing 1).
It's worth pointing out that in both cases, if the original user logs out of X, then the cookie information in the second users $XAUTHORITY file will become invalid and will need to be refreshed after the next user logs into X.
That's the best I can explain it.
Thanks Gazl! I did...
#adduser normal
Then I have root ( of course ) and another account called: normal.
Kde permits log in like: a)normal or b)root.
When I log in using a)normal I dont´t run this Gtk app
$/home/normal:sudo -H xlanbr
So there is an ERROR: X: Can't open display ":0.0".
#export DISPLAY
#xauth merge ~normal/.Xauthority
I could see Mit Magic Cookie using xauth -list command. Then I listed it in normal e root session of kdm. If I copy root cookie in a normal session is possible open app installed in root session in a normal X session?
I'm still struggling to understand exactly what you're asking because your terminology/language isn't clear. I'll try and answer as best I can, but I suspect I'm not going to be able to help any further if this doesn't address your issue.
The MIT cookie is recreated every time X is restarted, or a new user logs onto the X display.
You have to ensure that your applications always use the latest version of that cookie. A copy of an older one simply won't work.
My detailed post above lists two different ways of making that cookie available to the program to be run by the root user.
On my slackware box, if I just login to X as a normal user, start an xterm and then use sudo to start an X application, e.g.
"sudo xclock" then it just works. sudo passes both the $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY values of my normal user to the root environment in which that xclock will start, and xclock will run as root but display on my normal users X desktop display using the latest version of my normal users MIT cookie. No extra effort should be necessary.
A user "normal"
So, that's two different, seperate accounts, ie normal (a member of the users group) may login as well as root may login
He added the user "normal" into sudoers which leads me to believe that he is ok with the user "normal" partaking of the use of sudo in order to run this app.
Kinda begs the question for me: As user "normal", how is he starting the xlanbr app through the use of sudo?
If it were me, I'd just create an alias
alias ahalt='sudo /sbin/halt'
There is just only one of my aliases: What it does: With my user "al", (and sudo, sudoers) I can enter ahalt which shuts down/off
How easy is that ie I type/enter ahalt as a user and shut down.
Let's just go ahead and use the power of Linux / Unix
alias nxlanbr='sudo /usr/bin/xlanbr'
above is (only [and merely] a) suggested alias ie whereby the "normal" user can enter nxlanbr which starts up /usr/bin/xlanbr
Above is where such alias would reside (put alias into that file).
BTW, once upon a time, I created an alias (maybe not, see next caution) so that my user "al" may easily and directly by himself, share his X with the root user (for so root to config for a kernel while using an xterm to do so).
Caution, not sure that I have the next alias all the way or 100% correct. I Haven't used it for ages. Maybe it doesn't even work. Sometimes I forget to remove my mistakes from my .bashrc file.
alias x4su='xauth merge /home/al/.Xauthority_su && export DISPLAY=:0.0'
The idea = (al types/enters x4su
and now root can use al's X)
enuff. enuff. already.
I did a lot experiments but I didn't solve it. I did a bash_profile and a bashrc in a x4su alias models but it's not function. Then I decided to use a xhost +local option. BTW how can I start up xhost + at boot?
Dear friends,
It was solved. At first I used a small script for xhost in rc.local. It broke down... Maybe because /rc.d/rc.local run before login manager or xhost +local demands a normal user to this enviroment. Then I decided to go into /home/normal/.kde/Autostart and link script.
ln -s /etc/X11/Xsession.d/script
Thanks a lot, in special Gazl and acummings members!!!
first of all thank you for this elegant solution. Worked good for me. But is there a method to automate this procedure properly when logging in/starting X? You said before, that KDM creates this cookie after logging in via KDM. Where and how do I have to run these commands to not have to do it all over again, when I need it?

CNBC's Chris Francescani reported on April 26th: "Cyber criminals who have forced U.S. hospitals, schools and cities to pay hundreds of millions in blackmail or see their computer files destroyed are now targeting the unlikeliest group of victims — local police departments."
Chris goes on to report that police stations in the USA are especially vulnerable to attacks because they have small IT departments with ancient systems.
This is a serious problem and in the last three months of 2016 the ransomware has cost victims more than $200 million. Worse still, this represents only the attacks that are known and reported. Many are not.

Hamilton gets five-place grid penalty
20 April 2013 – Lewis Hamilton will incur a five-place grid penalty for Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix, with Mercedes opting to make a gearbox change after his incident in final practice.
Hamilton, who ended the session in fifth position, suffered a failure at the left-rear of his car after the chequered flag had fallen. After the 2008 World Champion crawled back to the pits, mechanics inspected the car and took the decision to switch the unit.
As per the regulations, drivers may use no more than one gearbox for five consecutive race weekends. As this was only the fourth round of the season, governing body the FIA will demote Hamilton five places from wherever he qualifies later today.
Esteban Gutiérrez and Mark Webber also approach qualifying with grid penalties, both issued at Shanghai. Gutiérrez will drop five positions due to an incident with Sutil, while Webber loses three places for tapping Jean-Éric Vergne into a spin.

This difference is Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2
Although both associated with excess sugar in the blood, diabetes type 1 and 2 had some very fundamental difference. The reasons are different, treatment and prevention also can not be equated. Visit our website in www.digitaldiscountcodes.com to see our discount and review about diabetes.
The first difference lies in the patient's age when first diagnosed. Type 1 diabetes is more common in patients under the age of 20 years so it is often called juvenile onset, whereas type 2 attack aged 35 years and over, or so-called adult onset. Use of the term juvenile onset and adult onset is now eliminated because in fact the type 1 and 2 diabetes can strike at any age. However, the tendency is the same that is type one more attack at a young age and type 2 in old age.
Next is the posture and stature infected. Patients with type 1 diabetes generally have a lean physique, while type 2 diabetes is more common in people who are categorised big overweight (overweight) and obesity. Diabetes type 1 and 2 are also distinguished by the cause. Type 1 diabetes is caused by damage to the pancreas and insulin production is reduced, while type 2 is caused by insulin resistance in the sense enough insulin but it does not work well in controlling blood sugar levels.
Due to different causes, both types of diabetes treatment is also not the same. People with type 1 diabetes require insulin by injection or insulin pump while type 2 diabetic patients consume enough swallow oral medication or drug. Type 1 diabetes is less predictable and preventable, cause a genetic disorder that is inborn. Another case with type 2 diabetes is highly preventable because it usually strikes people with unhealthy diet and less exercise.
Judging from the comparison of cases of type 1 diabetes include 10-15 percent of the total number of people with diabetes. The number of cases of type 2 diabetes, especially in developed and developing countries reached 85-90 percent of all people with diabetes of all types.

A DEPRESSED dad threw himself to his death at Beachy Head just weeks after he had been found at the notorious suicide spot.
Just two months before he killed himself 54-year-old Alistair Smith had been found wandering at Sussex location and had been taken into police custody for his own protection.
His landlady Janice Bridgen told the inquest hearing at Alton: "He was just waiting for an opportunity. We were all watching him. But we couldn't watch him all the time."
A police appeal for information about his whereabouts was issued after Mr Smith went missing from the home where he was lodging in Wallis Road, Fairfields, Basingstoke, on March 2 but his body was found by coastguards on March 6.
Mr Smith, who formerly lived in Wells, Somerset , worked as a principal software engineer. The inquest heard he did some work for the Ministry of Defence, and had more than £200,000 in the bank when he died.
North East Hampshire coroner Andrew Bradley said Mr Smith had suffered from depression after his marriage ended 15 years ago, and he heard that he had been particularly depressed in the months leading up to his death.
His brother Rupert Smith said Mr Smith had been despondent over the Christ-mas period and said his mood worsened after a car crash on January 3 when he crashed into a legally parked HGV on the A505 in Duxford, Cam-bridgeshire.
He said: "He was terrified he would be charged with dangerous driving and would lose the security clearance for his MoD work. He was completely preoccupied with it."
However, PC Andrew Moss said Mr Smith was only ever at risk of being charged with the lesser charge of driving without due care and attention. He told the inquest: "In hindsight, I believe it (the crash) was intentional", explaining there were no skidmarks in the vicinity of the crash and that his car had hit the HGV squarely on.
Mr Smith's son Rory Smith said he found it hard to communicate properly with his father about his struggles with depression. He said: "He spoke about feeling depressed. I told him to get help so many times."
Recording a verdict of suicide, Mr Bradley said: "I have no doubt that he intended to take his own life."

1st Silicon, ZFoundry to deliver auto technology
Post a comment
SINGAPORE Malaysian foundry 1st Silicon and Germany's ZFoundry announced this week (Oct. 24) progress in their joint effort to deliver advanced process technology for the automotive sector.
The firms said in a statement released at Euro DesignCon in Munich, Germany, that they have completed simulation modules and are running test silicon for their A18 SoC foundry technology, based on 1st Silicon's 0.18-micron process.
The technology "will make it possible to design high-density SoCs with a long product life" that will auto industry needs, they said.
Major components of the A18 mixed-signal design flow, including synthesis, floor planning and verification, will be completed by the end of the year, the companies said, with R&D multiproject wafers expected to run in January. Both companies said Thursday (Oct. 27) that qualified production of the technology will begin in 2007, with wafers processed at 1st Silicon's facilities in Sarawak, Malaysia.
While the companies declined to say whether they had confirmed customers for A18, they said 1st Silicon and ZFoundry saw "significant interest in the market for deep submicron analog capability."
"We expect this interest to continue to grow as the automotive market increasingly adopts new technologies that address safety, security and comfort of drivers and passengers," they added.
The 1st Silicon-ZFOUNDRY alliance will not end with the A18 development. The companies are currently collaborating on nonvolatile SRAM technology that they said "will open new opportunities to other technologies, as well as opening up other potential markets for us."

Eve Troutt Powell, a history professor at the University of Georgia, teaches a graduate level class Monday. Powell is one of this year's 24 recipients of a $500,000 unrestricted grant through the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
R.C. Rique/Staff
Eve Troutt Powell teaches and writes about a country brimming with history and intrigue, a place often linked with mummies' curses and marvelous feats of architecture.
Her fascination with the Middle East, more specifically Egypt, has garnered the University of Georgia history professor a $500,000 grant.
But this isn't your run-of-the-mill accolade. The MacArthur Fellows Program presents only 20 to 30 such awards, also known as the ''genius grant,'' each year.
And, unlike most grants, recipients can use the money however they want.
''If for example, they're using it to take care of an elderly parent, and that frees up time for them to work, it's just as valuable,'' said Mark Fitzsimmons, the program's associate director.
Funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the program is limited to U.S. citizens or residents. The foundation has awarded more than $3 billion in grants since 1978.
Eve Troutt Powell is one of this year's 24 recipients of a $500,000 unrestricted grant through the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Powell, a UGA professor since 1995, is one of 24 recipients - 12 men and 12 women - to earn this year's fellowship. She'll receive an annual check of $100,000 for the next five years.
The 42-year-old mother of two first got the news a week ago. A phone call from the fellows program director prompted her to drop her pen and find husband, Tim, a UGA English professor. Powell had been writing a grant proposal for $5,000.
''After I tried to find my husband, I ran to the bathroom. And then I went back to the grant I was writing,'' she said. ''Then I realized ... I didn't have to write that grant proposal anymore.''
Individuals are nominated for the award from a broad range of fields. This year's winners include an Ohio children's novelist, a New Mexico blacksmith and a human-rights activist from Sierra Leone.
Nominees are not interviewed and cannot apply for the award.
''This is not a prize for past efforts,'' Fitzsimmons said. ''We're betting on their future.''
For Powell, that future includes writing another book, which she'll use some of the winnings to research. Her latest book, ''A Different Shade of Colonialism: Egypt, Great Britain and the Mastery of the Sudan,'' was published in May.
Powell's next book will focus on a former Sudanese slave who, after repeatedly being sold as a child, ultimately was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2000.
Raised in the Washington Heights section of New York City, Powell's Jewish father opened her eyes to Arab culture.
''My father was not a very religious Jew, but he was deeply Zionist,'' she said.
After graduating Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in history and literature, Powell visited Egypt - a trip that changed her life.
''It's Cairo. The rhythm of Cairo. The intensity of Cairo. It reminded me of New York,'' she said. ''I get to Egypt, and it's the same pace, but a whole different pitch.
''It's where I feel most at home besides New York.''
Before returning to Harvard for a master's degree and eventually a doctorate, Powell became a news clerk at The New York Times.
''I was convinced I was going to change the way they covered the Middle East,'' she said.
Since that first trip, Powell has returned to Egypt and lived there on and off for three-and-a-half years, including all of 1992 when she was researching her doctoral dissertation.
Powell's office illustrates her passion for Middle Eastern culture.
Large maps of Africa and others depicting the streets of Cairo grace the walls, alongside postcard-size photographs of Arab life: women wearing black veils, children adorned with henna, Middle Eastern body art.
''A lot of scholars know about this award,'' Powell said, smiling.
''You bet I had many dreams about it.''

text: Hi, although semantically it could, ghc does not do common subexpression elimination (CSE), at least not in every case. The canonical example where it would be bad is the function (with div to avoid numerical casting): > avg :: [Int] -> Int > avg n = (sum [0..n] `div` length [0..n]) The reason why [0..n] is not shared is because then it would be kept in memory completely after the evaluation of sum, because length will still need it, possibly overflowing the memory. In the non-shared form, though, the garbage collector can clean up directly behind sum and length, and the program runs in constant space. Note that the shared expression would be very large compared to the thunks. Now consider the program: > avg' :: [Int] -> (Int, Int) > avg' n = (sum [0..n] `div` length [0..n], length [0..n]) I'd say that CSE to > avg n = (sum [0..n] `div` l, l) > where l = length [0..n] is safe, because the shared expression (an Int) is smaller than the thunks and the compiler can tell. So I wonder: * Is sharing values of type Int (and Bool and similar small values) always safe? * If so: does GHC already do that? * Would it be technically possible? * Is there an established theory that can tell, for a sharing candidate, whether it is safe to share it?

Sometimes simply blogging isn't enough. Sometimes, you have to send your outrage (it's less often praise, is it?) to the source, and no matter than you never expect to get a response.
This section so far contains only one, addressed to Cardinal Ambrozic of Toronto's Roman Catholic Archdiocese, in response to his open letter to then-Prime Mister Martin, concerning Canada's legalization of same-sex marriages. (Naturally, he was agin' it.)
And just as naturally, I had to have my say.

I can't thank you all enough. My doctors all made me feel like I was going crazy, everyone of them said "I never heard of such a thing" and some were like are you blaming us or radiation on it?? I am not trying to blame just trying to understand, I am so very thankful to be alive and have the cancer gone. And in the wee hours of the morning I found you all on this site, thank you. I was diagnosed June 2012, I finished my last treatment Sept 2012, and got my 1st all clear Dec. 2012. I thought I had faired treatment rather well, other than the excrutiating pain going to the bathroom, I lived on Chobani yogurt and still do. Until right at the end, in Dec 2012, I had compained of muscle weakness, it was harder to get up off the floor and really getting hard to do stairs, and they never heard of it and did nothing to help. I complained of pain all over, muscle, bone and joint, and one PA suggested I had fibromyalgia??? what??? Then in Dec/Jan I started falling. Just spontaneously my knees would give out and I'd fall, I then began hurting all over from the injuries. I started using a walker and stopped walking my dog after cracking my head on the sidewalk in a fall. I got kness braces with metal that locked out so my knees wouldn't collapse. A girl at work's uncle had prostate CA and radiation in the same general area as I and found he had the same "falling" problem. I could not do stairs at all, I fell down the stairs 3-4 times and started sliding down on my butt. It was so bad I was falling every other day. I had a really hard time getting up from a seated position and got a raised toilet seat. Today, I still am having a hard time getting up, I do feel a little bit stronger...very little, last fall was last week, knee gave out and I fell over sideways in the kitchen while baking. I am starting back doing some PT exercises. Just in the last couple/few weeks my legs began swelling, and now even my hands are swelling. The pain can be very intense, it hurts to roll over in bed, everything I do hurts. I also find that if I sit for too long, I have a hard time walking immmediately after getting up. On my 45 min drive to work I have to stand next to the car for a few minutes until my legs are ready to move. I still have some really bad days. And the constipation is horrible, I take 200mg of colace twice a day. I can't fit any more fiber into my diet. My surgeon suggested Metamucil and that completely blocked me for 6 days. The radiation oncologist sent me to PT and said he'd see me in Sept., I tried for 4 weeks to get a referral to a neurologist and tried to set an appt with the oncologist to get it and they said she doesn't want to see me until Sept. I don't want to see the surgeon cause all he wants to do is look, he doesn't help with anything else and his last biopsy actually caused problems leaving me with a flap with bleeds when I get constipated, and my family doctor is the one who told me I had hemorrhoids. But everyone tells me I look great. ugh.
May 21, 2013 - 11:50 am
Sorry to hear about your troubles. U need a neurolgist, a good one. Ataxia is a side effect of 5 fu. Try the tandem gait walk. If you can do 25 steps, u r fine. Ataxia is very rare, so is anal cancer.
Are you taking any medications. I would look up side effects.
May 21, 2013 - 1:32 pm
Finished treatment December 5, 2012. Diagnoised wth nerve damage from radiation early Feb 2013. Currently taking 600mg of gabapentin 3x a day. I too have had several falls. The falls are related to the loss of ankle and knee refex per drs. Please see a neurologist as soon as possible. My understanding is the radiation damage is at the nerve root in the lumbar spine through the sacral spine as well. I do find the medcine helps with the burnng and the stabbing pain, ect. I do my best to exercise in hopes that it will improve my balance. But...I still have falls that are unexpected. I plan to try using a walking stick vs a cane in hopes of it providing better stability. A friend of mne who hikes suggested using 2 walking sticks. FYI - most of my walking takes place on uneven ground due to where I live. Keep us posted on your progress. Wishing you the best and hoping you get some assistance from your medical team pronto.
May 21, 2013 - 4:07 pm
U can also try the babinski reflex.
May 21, 2013 - 7:17 pm
Gee, I have had several unexplained falls too. I never connected them to treatment. Now, I am wondering.
Babinski reflex?
May 26, 2013 - 2:20 pm
I had last radiation dose 3/18/13 and have had tingling and weird sensations in legs but only at bedtime, so interferes with sleep....how did they diagnose radiation as cause? I had pelvic radiation at MDA and nobody said anything about any side effects.....
May 22, 2013 - 8:25 am
I would agree that you probably need to see a neurologist. Please keep pursuing a consult with one. Falls are never good, but for anyone who's had pelvic radiation, they can be much more at risk because of bone damage/weakening. Your issues with falling definitely need to be addressed.
