Mathieu Flamini put Arsene Wenger's side ahead in the first half before goals from Manu Adebayor and Alexander Hleb put the game beyond Reading's reach.
Not even a late consolation from Royals defender Nicky Shorey could take the gloss off yet another classy performance from the north Londoners.
Adebayor told Setanta Sports: "The most important thing is for team to win. I'm proud of my performance but the most important job is for the team and getting the three points."
"But when we play as a team it's very difficult for others, once again it was a great performance from us.
"If we keep going like this we have good chance (of winning the Premier League).
"The season is very long and we'll have to fight for our place at the top."
Arsene Wenger felt his side were in control for long periods against Steve Coppell's side.
He said: "I felt we were in control, but we needed to be patient.
"They didn't come at us and they wanted to catch us on break - it was us going at them, we were always in control.
"I didn't want my team to get frustrated, we knew we needed to be patient, maybe the first goal coming before half-time was the killer for Reading."
Wenger was also quick to lavish praise on his young side following another imperious display.
He said: "It's enjoyable to watch and work with them. They are hungry, they have a fantastic spirit and attitude."

What to watch on Wednesday, September 21...
Hopefully your beer cozy is sturdy and reliable, because it's going to be a LONG night. (Helpful suggestion: Be sure to have a backup beer cozy handy in case of initial beer cozy failure!)
SERIES PREMIERE, 8pm, FOX
The X Factor
Tonight we welcome back our old friends Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul for a long-awaited reunion that will surely be as blissful as seeing family on the first day of Thanksgiving Break. How many episodes until we're as annoyed by them as we are our families on the third day of Thanksgiving Break? Anyway, tune in for this slightly more dynamic version of American Idol in which the age ranges and genres have been expanded but "star quality" reigns supreme.
SEASON 3 PREMIERE, 9pm, ABC
Modern Family
We've been teased and tantalized for weeks now by images of our favorite modern families out on some Wyoming dude ranch, and tonight we'll finally learn what they're up to: A family vacation! Meanwhile in the second half of the two- episode premiere, Mitchell and Cameron will attempt to break the news to Lily that they've decided to adopt a second child.
SEASON 7 PREMIERE, 9pm, CBS
Criminal Minds
In tonight's season premiere the team must deal with the loss of Prentiss (aw, Prentiss!) and face questioning from a Senate committee re: same. Tune in to see which SURPRISING person rallies to their defense! (It's not Jane Velez-Mitchell, sorry.)
SERIES PREMIERE, 10pm, ABC
A young woman (Emily VanCamp) returns to the Hamptons to dismantle and destroy its entire high society as payback for ruining her family and driving her father to suicide. Will she carry out her plans without getting sidetracked by her own conscience? Who knows? It could take years before you get a satisfactory answer. That's why this is a show and not a movie!
SEASON 12 PREMIERE, 10pm, CBS
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Hey, Ted Danson! It's Ted Danson, everybody! Tonight he takes over for Laurence Fishburne as the intimidating heavy at the head of the CSI Department. See how he helps (or hinders) the team's investigation into multiple shootings (and stabbings?) aboard a public tram.
ORIGINAL SPECIAL, 10pm, PBS
Not in Our Town: Light in the Darkness
It's about time PBS aired a serious documentary for a change! It's all makeover shows and extreme sports competitions lately.

As she does in most aspects of my inner life, Alfre Woodard narrates.

Query: CentOS 6.2 Apache 2.2.15 Virtual Host Set-up
I've tried to set up a virtual host under Apache and I think I have some success, but I need to ask:
When I type a URL that includes the index file name, I get the proper web page. (http://xDrupalDocs.com/index.html).
But when I just type in the domain name (http://xDrupalDocs.com), I get an error page from my ISP. Is this the proper behaviour?
I've tried using the physical IP of the machine in place of the "*", but I get the same results.
Here are the files:
I omitted the domain name entirely in the /etc/hosts file.
#NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.149:80
You should have a DirectoryIndex directive in your httpd.conf, so you would add index.html to that, but if not you can add it to your virtual host definition, just after the line '<Directory "/home/DrupalDocs/htdocs">':
DirectoryIndex index.html
- There was already such a line in the httpd.conf file.
- Adding the line under the <Directory> directive caused the display of the ISP's error page regardless of whether "xDrupalDocs.com/index.html" or simply "xDrupalDocs.com" was entered as a URL.
- Removing all the DirectoryIndex directives also produces the ISP's error page regardless of the entry.
- Same result if the outer directive is removed and only the inner directive is kept.
Ahhh...now I'm in trouble. All the results changed when I undid the DirectoryIndex directive changes. Only one exists in the file, but now this is what happens:
- www.xDrupalDocs.com and xDrupalDocs.com/index.html go to the ISP error page.
- xDrupalDocs.com goes to the default web page for Apache (var/www/html/index.html
You mention your ISPs error page - do you know the actual HTTP error code returned?
Also, I notice you have two separate Options lines - I would combine them into one, without mixing the '+' and non-'+' options, so it looks like this:
Options +Includes +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
I would also add, since you already have a DirectoryIndex line in your httpd.conf that specifies index.html, take it out of your vhost definition.
The ISP error page is a large list of ads really, but has no error number. It says: "We did not find results for: www.xdrupaldocs.com".
Here is the httpd.conf file:
#NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.149:80
- www.xdrupaldocs.com and www.xdrupaldocs.com/index.html - bring up the ISP error page.
- xdrupaldocs.com/index.html brings up /home/DrupalDocs/htdocs/index.html - this is the desired result.
- simply xdrupaldocs.com - brings up the default Apache page /var/www/html/index.html.
This is the original behaviour; I don't understand why it changed and then reverted back.
I was careful to restart httpd in each case.
Just to show you how dumb things get sometimes, I followed this guide: http://linuxconfig.org/configure-apa...host-on-fedora
Here are the steps:
Step 1:Create a directory to contain your new website:
# mkdir /var/www/example.net
# echo Hello Web > /var/www/example.net/index.html
# chmod -R 755 /var/www/example.net
# chown -R apache.apache /var/www/example.net
Step 2: Add virtual host configuration to the bottom of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf :
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.net
ServerName www.example.net
# Other Apache config directives, logs etc.
Step 3: Confirm the VirtualHost sytax before restarting httpd service:
# httpd -S
Step 4: Restart apache :
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Step 5:
If your example domain is already pointing to your server you should be ready to go. Make sure that your domain resolves an IP address of your server. For testing it is also handy to modify /etc/hosts file. For example if this is done just locally add :
# echo 127.0.0.1 www.example.net example.net >> /etc/hosts
This is the end of the example.
I carried out the steps - exactly as you see them. With this exact VirtualHost definition.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.net
ServerName www.example.net
# Other Apache config directives, logs etc.
I then went to the browser and entered the URL www.example.net and it came up with the text "Hello Web" as set in step 1. It worked perfectly! So mine is just too complex. HAHAHAHA.
Seriously. I think it has to do with the domain name I chose; it must be a full normal name as in "www.domainname.com". I just chose "xDrupalDocs.com and not "www.xDrupalDocs.com". I'll try that.
OK. I tried it and here are some results:
There was a permissions problem. All the files from /home/DrupalDocs on into the tree had to have their owner and group changed to "apache". Also, their permissions had to be changed to 755 as in:
# chmod -R 755 /home/DrupalDocs
# chown -R apache.apache /home/DrupalDocs
Another important part was adding the domain names to the /etc/hosts file as the localhost IP of 127.0.0.1.
Just some notes, though.
- A URL of xdrupaldocs.com produces an ISP error page.
- Yet a URL of example.net brings up the default Apache web page.
This difference puzzles me.
The final httpd.conf excerpt is:
#NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.149:80
Also, I don't think you can use wildcards in a ServerAlias. I would use this:
ServerName xDrupalDocs.com
I think you're right slugmax. But this is purely for my own home LAN use. I had planned just to try to build web sites and then move them to hosting company. The current goal was just to be able to install and use both Drupal and Joomla dn see how they work.
Thanks for your time.
I have to figure out how to mark the thread as solved.

Mad Men Sewing Challenge Dress Complete…Barely
I finished my Mad Men Dress, just in time. I was so glad to have an extension.
I aimed to have this dress done on Friday (the original deadline), but I've been distracted since Thursday. We're redoing our whole yard. We've been pulling out concrete, filling the pool in, clearing, pruning, tilling, etc. I've had to dig up and temporarily pot a lot of plants to replant when we're finished. Needless to say, I'm amazed that I managed to just squeeze this dress in by the extended deadline…
I used Butterick 2952 as a base pattern, and made a lot of alterations and additions. Continue reading

The Louisa Coat: Pattern and Construction Process
As I said in my previous post about this coat, I modeled it after a favorite well-worn coat that I have had for several years…
The store-bought coat is an extra-small, so it has always been difficult to wear anything too bulky underneath it in the winter. Therefore, I sized up just a tad for the pattern, to make it more like a size small.
My biggest complaint with this jacket was always the sleeves and armholes. I could hardly lift my arms in the jacket, especially when it was buttoned. It was so bad, I had difficulty extending my arms out in front of me, parallel to the ground…
There were some other changes. I widened the welt pocket opening a bit because I could hardly fit my hand into the opening on the store-bought jacket (and I have small hands). I also changed the placement of the welt pocket. Continue reading

Sewing Casual Wear Can be Fun
Over the last few summer months, I worked on adding a bit more casual wear to my wardrobe.
I reconstructed a vintage tank top into a top that fits better and has a little more character….
I made a tank pattern last summer, using one of my favorite tank tops, but never used it until this summer. This floral tank is one of the several I made using the pattern…
I also made a couple pairs of thrift store pants into shorts Continue reading

Talking with Turtles 60s Mod Dress
This project is in honor of my turtle friend that I made last weekend (more details later in the post, if you're interested)…I used McCalls 2390 (one of the patterns from the free batch I received) from the 1960s, a vintage thrifted double-knit and buttons from G Street Fabrics…The total cost for the dress was about $4.
I altered the neckline, added a bit of width to the hips, and shortened the hemline. Continue reading

"Better late than never" dress
This was my Easter dress this year. It was bright and perfect for such a celebratory day…I started making this dress a little over a year ago, and put it aside for one reason or another. In my effort to make progress on my UFO pile, I pulled it out about a month ago. Continue reading

"[I want to convey] that there is hope?that we're a world that is in turmoil but there is hope. I'm always amazed at how much love is in people's hearts even when they disagree about things. I think it's important for people to come together in music. It reminds me of the [Margaret Mead] saying, 'Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world.' I think that's really true."
"When I am on the field, I am an assistant coach responsible to the head coach and I convey that attitude, ... I am a volunteer to help these young men kick the football. That's my job in that arena."
"At present, Spacey seems far stronger at conveying Richard's haughty grandeur and petulant temper-tantrums than he is at getting to the heart of the poetry, or the man. There is no mistaking his charisma, or his ability to turn the mood on a sixpence so that courtly formality suddenly gives way to either sardonic wit or a terrifying menace. But his English accent sometimes seemed strained and he has a tendency to bellow the often exquisitely lachrymose verse."
"Any person, institution or organization that conveys bodies or parts of bodies into or out of the state for medical education or research purposes shall notify the Anatomical Board of such intent and receive approval from the board."
"I have some very strong feelings, not just about this match, but the whole series. I will convey it (to the ICC) through proper channels."
"We started using celebrities back in the '70s because we wanted to convey a sense of confidence in women. But the celebrities we choose are chosen because they are also role models and something more than a celebrity."
"He conveyed that to (co-owner) Ken Wagner. Ken stopped in Vancouver and met with Shaun and his father on Sunday morning, hoping to convince him on the merits of being a Nanaimo Clipper."
"We need to be able to convey to people who don't live here ...what Little Rock is and what the Little Rock experience is all about, so they can anticipate what they're going to get."

VALLEJO (CBS SF) – The son of the operators of a Vallejo day care center has been rearrested on molestation charges, Vallejo police said Monday.
Samuel Cowper, 30, turned himself in at the Solano County Sheriff's Office on Thursday afternoon, Sgt. Jeff Bassett said.
He was booked into Solano County Jail and is being held on $90,000 bail on charges of committing lewd acts with a child under age 14 and possession of obscene materials depicting a minor engaging in or simulating sexual conduct.
Cowper's preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 25.
Cowper is the son of Charles and Mary Cowper, who operated Mary's Daycare at 1363 Elliot Drive.
The California Department of Social Services suspended the day care center's license in December when Cowper was first arrested on suspicion of inappropriately touching a child who had attended the day care center, now 13, when she was between 3 and 7 years old, and taking nude photographs of an 8-year-old girl.
Department spokesman Oscar Ramirez said the allegations against Mary's Daycare include allowing Samuel Cowper to reside at the facility without a background check, and allowing children to have access to dangerous objects, including a knife and drugs, on Dec. 9, 2010.
Ramirez said the Department of Social Services is seeking a lifetime exclusion of Samuel Cowper from any licensed day care facility and that the Department intends to suspend the license of Mary's Daycare permanently.
Cowper was released from jail in December while Vallejo police further investigated the allegations, Bassett said.
He was rearrested Thursday on a warrant related to alleged offenses against the same victims, Bassett said.
Police are looking for any other past clients of Mary's Daycare who might be affected by the case, Bassett said. Anyone who believes their child might have been victimized is asked to call Detective John Whitney or Detective Ted Postolaki (800) 488-9383.

We joke, when we're young, about old codgers who yell, "You kids get off my damn lawn!" and as we get older we joke that we're turning into those old codgers. I've solved that problem by not having a lawn — no need to yell.
Or be yelled at, since I'm not running across my neighbors' lawns, or practicing lawn journalism. Last weekend, while trying to sit through ESPN's coverage from State College, Pa., I was tempted to yell, "You reporters get off his damn lawn!" at the journalists camped out at Joe Paterno's house, where absolutely nothing happened all day long.
It took a lot for me to feel sorry for Paterno that day after the revelations of the previous week, but he'd been fired, he'd hired a criminal attorney and that attorney had told him not to speak. His team was playing Nebraska, and he wasn't there. I'm not sure he's done paying for whatever part he played in whatever happened at Penn State, but I do think he could have been left in peace on what was the first Saturday of the rest of his life. Learning this week that he has lung cancer makes me certain of it.
And don't get my wrong, I felt sorry for the ESPN reporter, too. It can't be fun, filling all that airtime with nothing whatsoever worthwhile to say. We were told, breathlessly, that his son, an assistant at Penn State, had visited him earlier that morning. That two men had come to stand on the sidewalk outside the house. That there was a "cathedral"-like atmosphere at the house. That the house itself was very nondescript, hardly befitting a coach of Paterno's stature. And so on.
What did any of this have to do with the story, or add to our understanding of it? What did it add to the coverage of the Penn State-Nebraska game, for that matter? Not a thing.
ESPN perfected lawn reporting when it first gave my old friend Rachel Nichols the thankless job of standing outside Brett Favre's house in Mississippi, waiting for him to declare whether he'd once again grace the NFL with his presence. The World Wide Leader now has enough staff to kill the fescue in every yard of every athlete in America if it chooses (wrote the print journalist jealously). And apparently it chooses.
I did like several aspects of last Saturday's coverage. For instance, I was glad they showed the pregame prayer gathering for Nebraska and Penn State players at midfield — and that we weren't allowed to listen in. That was a moment that should have been for the players, and only the players.
After that, I decided to keep any further exposure to the Penn State coverage to a minimum, but I did catch a talking head remark after the game that while Paterno wasn't there, he really did coach that game. I know ESPN has a lot of people talking all the time, but it's statements like that that make me appreciate Matt Millen's tearful on-camera breakdown. At least it was unrehearsed and sincere, rather than a clumsy attempt to elicit pathos.
The Penn State story is far from over. In the weeks and months (yes, months) ahead, the games will end, football itself will fade as an element of this story and the focus will turn, finally and fully, on what really went on at Penn State: on who knew what, and when, and what they did or didn't do about it. By then, both the weather and the news will probably be too bleak for lawn journalism. Or perhaps the reporters will move to the lawn of a courthouse, where this story really belongs.

Networking technology: HART award winner is major Emerson, Profibus user
The HART Communication Foundation announced at the 2007 PowerGen Show in New Orleans that StatoilHydro, has won the 2007 HART Plant of the Year award for its project at the Ormen Lange gas field in Norway. This facility uses Emerson's AMS Suite and field devices which the company cites as key enablers in StatoilHydro's effective use of predictive diagnostics for the Ormen Lange project, including the subsea installations, onshore terminal and the world's longest sub sea gas pipeline project.
( You can read the full award story in the December issue of Control Engineering .) The award recognizes StatoilHydro's innovative use of HART Communication with a Profibus DP network to deliver diagnostics to plant personnel. StatoilHydro's commitment to predictive diagnostics, along with the number and the extensive range of various HART instruments and valves from multiple vendors, made them an ideal recipient for the recognition.
At this difficult-to-access North Sea location, online diagnostics from more than 350 continuously monitored valves supply critical information to operations, maintenance and reliability personnel, as well as to experts around the world. Emerson says that using AMS Device Manager with the ValveLink snap-on application as part of its PlantWeb digital plant architecture, provides online diagnostics that warn of pending valve problems, save troubleshooting time, and minimize unnecessary personnel trips into potentially hazardous areas to check status. AMS Device Manager provides an interface that allows online communication with HART field devices over a Profibus DPV1 network, an essential capability for leveraging and maximizing StatoilHydro's investment in HART-enabled devices.
The Ormen Lange gas field is Norway's largest gas field and is situated in the Northern sector of the Norwegian Sea. It is being operated during the development phase by StatoilHydro. Norske Shell will take over full operation of the facility at the end of 2007.
"We are delighted that our user has won this prestigious award and achieved recognition for their technical innovation," said Craig Llewellyn, president of Emerson's asset optimization division. "StatoilHydro worked creatively with Emerson to execute its vision for predictive maintenance in an open architecture to maximize asset availability and performance."
The Plant of the Year Award is given annually by the HART Communication Foundation to recognize people, companies and sites that are using the full capabilities of HART technology to achieve improved operations, lower costs and increased availability.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

ComputerWorld: Sun walks tightrope with licensees over Java controlMar 04, 2000, 15:32 (12 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by James Niccolai, Laura Rohde)
WEBINAR: On-Demand
No-Size-Fits-All! An Application-Down Approach for Your Cloud Transformation REGISTER >
"Sun wants to retain sufficient control over Java to ensure compatibility across all vendors' products, and to allow it to shape the technology in accordance with its vision, said Mark Driver, an analyst at Gartner Group Inc. in Stamford, Conn. A few of Sun's Java licensees, most notably IBM, are demanding a more democratic process to ensure that Sun can't add features to Java in the future that best suit its own products and strategy."
" 'Sun has taken the benevolent dictator approach, where you have to believe Sun won't proprietize Java in the future. (IBM) wants to see a formal process that gives them legal recourse to prevent Sun from doing that,' Driver said."
"JCP 2.0 is Sun's attempt to resolve that conflict, Sun officials said."
" 'What we've been doing with JCP 2.0 is trying to (strike) a balance — to ensure that compatibility is maintained, that the technology evolves quickly, and that the process is as open as possible,' the Sun spokeswoman said.

Take 25% off all Black Friday orders at Eleven Warriors Dry Goods with the code #BEATMICHIGAN.
Ohio State has seen it's share of elite running backs in the school's illustrious history of playing college football. Names such as Eddie, Archie, Byars, Clarrett, Cassady, Harley, Johnson, Beanie, and Spencer jump out at first glance but others such as Pepe Pearson, Michael Wiley, Joe Montgomery, etc; have left an indellible mark on the fabric that is Buckeyenation.
I believe that it is time that we add one more name to this great list of buckeye legends- and that name is Rod Smith.
Before I go any further let me first start off by saying that I understand that this is giant leap I am making and for all intensive purposes I am willing to take any criticism for my seemingly outlandish and bold claims. For starters, Rod Smith is barely a third string back, only receiving small portions of PT due to the injuries of speedy tailback Jordan Hall and the big buckeye bruiser Carlos Hyde. What I find is so troubling about this young man is that the talent and potential has always been within his grasp to be a truly elite back.
It is in my opinion, been because of a lack of focus that Rod Smith has yet to climb the pinnacle of buckeye stardom. In fact, earlier this year Smith found himself in Urban Meyer's lockup facility after showing a lack of passion for the game and in his words, "just not good enough" to gain meaningful minutes in the rotation.
Meyer strongly urged Smith to transfer to another team where he would be able to play. From the span of that moment until the present, a fire lit up in Smith. The passion for the game and the undeniable potential buried beneath lost fumbles and missed running assignments were on full display in crucial situations, last week against UAB.
I am not oblivious to the fact that Smith did not even play most of the game but what was clearly obvious is that when Ohio State needed a big third down he delivered when his number was called. There was an "it" factor that I saw in Smith's few carries last week that I failed to see in any of our backs.
If Smith continues to work hard, I have no doubt that he will be the number one option for the buckeye run game next season. Remember, most of our greatest players had rough beginnings. It is not where you start off but it is more about where you finish.
What a great story it would be if Rod Smith could overcome all of the obstacles that has plagued his young buckeye career. I believe he can and I believe he will. Get ready Columbus a star has been born.

Global Business Travel Association Poll Finds MostBusiness Travel Not Currently Impacted by Outbreak
ALEXANDRIA, VA – October 16, 2014 – Business travel has not been significantly impacted by the current Ebola outbreak, according to a poll of travel managers conducted by the GBTA Foundation, the education and research arm of the Global Business Travel Association. Nearly 80 percent of the managers said international business travel has either not been impacted at all or has not been impacted much during the past month. Likewise, more than 90 percent of managers said that domestic business travel has either not been impacted at all or has not been impacted much during the past month.
"Although Ebola is top of mind across the country, its business as usual for most business travelers," said GBTA Executive Director and COO Michael W. McCormick. "But that is not to say that companies are not monitoring this outbreak closely. A majority of travel managers said they either are, or plan to provide, their employees with updated information on staying safe while traveling."
According to McCormick, it is imperative that the government and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide accurate and timely information to the public.
The poll found that more than one third (36 percent) of traveler managers are providing their road warriors with tips on staying safe, while 41 percent said they plan to do so in the future.
Although the majority of business domestic and international travelers aren't changing their schedules, companies that do business in West Africa are making changes – but not by a wide margin. Fifty-two percent of travel managers who do business in West Africa said they are restricting travel to that part of the world.
Methodology In the U.S. a total of 421 corporate travel managers completed the online survey October 13 –October 15, 2014. Survey respondents represent more than $70 billion worth of travel spending.
GBTA will also be holding a webinar for its members, Risk Radar: Managing the Medical and Security Implications of the Ebola Epidemic – How will you protect your travelers?, on October 22 at 12 p.m. ET. The webinar is the first installment of a special Risk Radar webinar series brought to you by the GBTA Risk Committee, and it will examine the Ebola outbreak from both a medical and security perspective to help participants develop a comprehensive understanding of its implications to travelers.

Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Thursday directed telecom operators to continue issuing mobile phone SIMs from their self-owned and operated business centers and franchises, overturning the interior ministry's earlier orders of delivering new SIMs to customers via post.
However, the PM urged mobile network operators to issue SIMs only after verification from the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra).
Moreover, PM Ashraf also announced that a previous decision to block mobile number portability (MNP) would also be cancelled. The prime minister took these decisions after he met a delegation of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of private cellular operators at the Prime Minister House on Thursday.
The Interior Ministry had earlier directed all operators to ensure delivery of new SIMs through postal or courier service. According to the earlier directions of the interior ministry, customers would not have been able to buy new SIMs, only allowing them to order one from the operator's customer service office and having it delivered at their residential addresses. On delivery, the verification of the subscriber would have been done via CNIC, as well as a second identity in the form of a utility bill or a driving licence.
The prime minister's announcement allows customers to buy new SIMs from the operators' business centers and franchises. However, the sale of SIMs from retail network will remain suspended until biometric devices are deployed at each center.
The PM further decided that the condition of second identity for issuance of SIM would also be withdrawn.
Prime Minister Ashraf directed the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Information Technology to immediately coordinate with customs and other relevant authorities to streamline the import and local assembling of cellular handsets in the country, ensuring all handsets bear unique identification numbers (IMEI) and handsets without IMEI and duplicate IMEI be banned.
PM Ashraf said that the decision was taken so that inconvenience is not caused to the masses and the common man is least affected.
The government would also make every effort to facilitate the cellular companies, he said.
The prime minister added that the government would consult all stakeholders before taking decisions on issues concerning the cellular sector.
Ashraf, however, said the recent decision to block mobile phones in certain cities during Muharram was taken in the national interest, calling the measure "unavoidable and extremely necessary" for the safety and security of life and property.

A doctor charged with intentionally slamming on his brakes in front of two bicyclists will be tried in Los Angeles.
A Superior Court judge on Thursday ordered Dr. Christopher Thomas Thompson to stand trial on three felony counts of reckless driving and battery.
Prosecutors say the former emergency room doctor had argued with the cyclists on July 4 before slamming on his brakes in front of them on a Brentwood canyon road. One cyclist went through the window and suffered broken teeth, cuts and had to have his nose reattached. The other suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Police Officer Robert Rodriguez testified Thompson said he was tired of the cyclists that frequent the winding road and wanted to "teach them a lesson."
Peter Swarth, Thompson's attorney, calls the incident an accident.

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Canada's National Energy Board said on Wednesday it will start hearing final arguments on the C$16.2 billion ($15.7 billion) Mackenzie gas pipeline on April 12, more than four years after it began the regulatory process for the massive project.
The schedule comes a week after the Joint Review Panel, which assessed the Northwest Territories project's socioeconomic and environmental impact, gave conditional support to it.
The NEB said it will co-ordinate formal reaction to the panel's report and its 176 recommendations before it begins hearing final arguments.
The hearing process will run for as many as five days in Yellowknife, N.W.T., starting April 12, then move to Inuvik, N.W.T., on April 20 for up to another four days, it said.
Once that is complete, the NEB will deliberate and prepare its decision, it said.
The Mackenzie Gas Project's partners are Imperial Oil Ltd, ConocoPhillips,, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Exxon Mobil Corp and the Aboriginal Pipeline Group.
The pipeline, first envisioned in the 1970s and now facing surging costs and political uncertainty, would extend 1,220 km (760 miles) to southern markets from the Mackenzie Delta on the Beaufort Sea coast.

BOSTON, June 2 (UPI) -- Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have discovered a new planet about 560 light-years away in the Draco constellation that weighs 17 times as much as Earth.
Exoplanet Kepler-10c, which has been dubbed the "Godzilla of Earths" and "mega-Earth," has a rocky surface and it circles a star which resembles the sun.
"This is the Godzilla of Earths!" the CfA's Dimitar Sasselov said in a statement, according to Space.com. "But unlike the movie monster, Kepler-10c has positive implications for life. Finding Kepler-10c tells us that rocky planets could form much earlier than we thought. And if you can make rocks, you can make life."
The discovery of the planet was presented at the 224th American Astronomical Society meeting.
Due to its size, researchers initially assumed that Kepler-10c was a gaseous planet, but they were able to use the HARPS-North instrument on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo to determine that "mega-Earth" is rocky.
"Kepler-10c didn't lose its atmosphere over time. It's massive enough to have held onto one if it ever had it," said CfA astronomer Xavier Dumusque. "It must have formed the way we see it now."
According to scientists, the Kepler-10c system formed less than three billion years after the big bang.

When obstruction, oversized pads and defensive standoffs ruled the day, goaltender was a position that coaches and fans simply took for granted.
Every team had a premier stopper and every shooter's lament was always: "The goalies in this league are too good, you're not going to score on the first shot.''
That was then, an entirely different time and place from where the NHL is now. Back then, they allowed clutching and hooking and hacking so players almost never got that first good shot, and goalies were so big there wasn't anything to shoot at when they did.
Back then, defencemen were allowed to punch and slash and crosscheck any forward who dared plant a screen or go for a rebound. Back then, teams had to kill five penalties a game, not nine.
Of course all goalies were great. It was the easiest job in hockey, next to Mark Messier's hair stylist.
"Well, I wouldn't say it was easy,'' chuckled Buffalo's Ryan Miller, one of the best young keepers in the business. "But players are definitely getting a lot more quality chances than they ever did before. A few years ago it was a surprise if anyone got a good look. It was like 'Oh wow! He was open!' Now you expect it. Guys are getting open all the time.''
And it's showing in the numbers. Now, the goalies pads aren't bloated, their goals against averages are.
While Miller, Miikka Kiprusoff, Dominik Hasek, Manny Fernandez and Martin Brodeur (after some terrible struggles early on), are still on top of their games, other former greats, like Jose Theodore, Nikolai Khabibulin and Ed Belfour are doing David Duval impressions.
Clearly, as slimmed-down netminders see more and more rubber from more and better angles, we're seeing a separation between the real deals, the great goalies, and the good goalies who were made great by the old system.
"It's tougher around the net,'' admits Kiprusoff. "It's tougher for them to move the guys so there's a lot more screened shots and more traffic. So it's even more important now than it ever was to control your rebounds.
"There are more scoring chances, better scoring chances, and that's what they wanted.''
The best GAA in the NHL this year belongs to Ottawa, 2.28. That would have only been good enough for 10th last season, when the New Jersey Devils finished first with a 1.97.
This season there are only 13 teams with a GAA lower than 3.00. Last season there were 26.
Last season Chicago's 3.10 was second worst in the NHL. This year, 3.10 gets you 19th spot.
New York's Henrik Lundqvist watched the NHL for years, then came over from Sweden just in time to see the league declare all-out war on his position. "The first couple of weeks it was tough for me to adjust my game,'' he said. "The game has changed a lot in the last couple of years. It's a lot faster, more similar to the style in Europe now. They play a lot of pucks across the zone so you really have to be quick post to post.
"But our team has been working really hard and playing well. That helps a lot when you have a good team in front of you.''
The team in front of you makes a huge difference. Backchecking, clogging up passing lanes and pressuring opposing offences are key to a goalie's survival. The ones with the best numbers are the ones getting the most help.
"My success has a lot to do with our team, we have great skaters on defence,'' said Kiprusoff. "The new rules don't affect them too much, which has been helping me a lot.''
At the other end of the spectrum, Patrick LaLime, two years removed from a 39-win season in Ottawa, went to St. Louis and is now trying to resurrect his career in the minors. Nikolai Khabibulin, a Conn Smythe candidate in Tampa's Cup win last season, floundered in Chicago.
"Teams have to be willing to come back hard instead of relying on the D to stand guys up,'' said Miller. "The game hasn't changed all that much, it's just that the teams that are committing to the little things are finding success. And so are their goalies.''

Minnesota House Passes Card Security Act
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- An act which would introduce industry card security standards into state law has passed the Minnesota House of Representatives, according to the Minnesota Credit Union Network, the industry trade association which backs the bill.
"This is one of the most important pieces of consumer legislation moving through the legislature this session, and I am pleased that members of the House agree," said MnCUN CEO Mark Cummins. "Minnesota consumers deserve to have their card data handled in a secure, responsible manner."
The 104-27 vote came on the heels of an article in the Wall Street Journal which identified a Marshall's store in St. Paul, Minn. as the point where hackers managed to breach the TJX Corporation's database. TJX is the parent company for Marshall's and a number of other retail chains. The breach has compromised millions of cards and led to millions of card accounts having to be closed and reissued.
The Plastic Card Security Act aims to combat the growing problem of credit card account compromises and protect consumers from the risk of fraud. The bill would put into state law the payment card industry data security standards that merchants are already required by contract to follow, prohibiting the storage of magnetic stripe data from credit or debit cards, MnCUN said.
Currently when a data breach occurs, regardless of why it happens, financial institutions are responsible for notifying their cardholders, reissuing cards, and covering fraud losses. Consumers and financial institutions are left exposed to fraud losses not because of any action on their part, but simply because the merchant or its processor improperly retained data they should not have.
During debate on the bill, Chief House Author Rep. Jim Davnie said that it will cost financial institutions an approximated $300 million to replace compromised cards from the TJX breach, and that a reported $8 million in fraud has already been committed in Florida as a result.
"Those expenses don't stay with TJX or with the financial institution. They come down on us--on consumers--when retailers aren't abiding by the terms of their contract and aren't adequately protecting our data," Davnie said. --email@example.com

Unanswered: Migrate informix programming language to MSQ
glad i found a forum with msql & informix issues.
I'm not a DB geek, so i'd be grateful to get some help...
our SMB plans to upgrade our old unix system to linux on the one hand, and our old informix 4.10 DB to a newer (& open source-) one, as MYSQL. Now, even with the old informix system, it's possible to create a MYSQL DB as a copy which can be questionned by ODBC afterwards, but the problem is the Informix programming language which - obviously - is proprietary. Our programmer claims if we change everything to mysql, all the programms he wrote must be rewritten, which we want to avoid.
So here is my question:
if we migrate from informix (even from a more recent version) to mysql, is it possible not only to export the DB, but also to convert informix programming language to mysql?
thanks for any help on this issue!!!

Staff Writer Natalie Yezbick reports: A Dallas man was charged with criminal mischief after police say he purposefully backed into a police cruiser early Monday morning.
Benjamin Carrillo, 18, was driving at about 3 a.m. in the 2500 block of Community Drive near a Dallas Police Department building when an officer began following Carrillo after noticing the man's trunk was open. Carrillo then stopped "abruptly," and accelerated backward to ram the police vehicle, according to police records.
Police reviewed in-car footage and determined that the collision was not an accident, according to arrest records.
The officer was not injured in the collision. There was an estimated $1,600 in damages to the officer's Dodge Charger, police said.
After hitting the car, Carrillo continued driving. Another officer arrived to assist, police said.
Carrillo and a passenger were taken into custody by the two officers. The passenger was arrested on outstanding warrants, according to police documents.
Carrillo was previously jailed for 60 days for burglary of a vehicle earlier this year. He was also arrested in September for possession of marijuana, according to court records.
Carrillo's bond has not been set.

How To Set Up an After Effects Render FarmThe cheap and easy way to get the most out of the After Effects Production Bundle
Render farms allow you to take advantage of multiple computers churning out frames of the same project all at the same time. Most of you, no doubt, have some old PCs or Macs sitting around doing nothing. So why not put them to use to save you a significant amount of time, even with low-end computers helping out?
For this example, I'm going to use a dual 1 GHz G4 as my primary system and two old 400 MHz G4 systems in the render farm, all running Mac OS X. This is not the only way to do it by any means, but I happen to have these machines handy, which is really the point: A render farm takes advantage of equipment you already have lying around, and it makes tremendous use out of these systems.
Note:This tutorial covers the network render feature of the After Effects 5.5 Production Bundle. You can network render with the standard version as well, but the process is more laborious. See your online help documentation for setting up a network render using the After Effects standard edition.
Setting up
First some preliminaries. The After Effects network rendering process is not flawless. First, it has a few quirks during the initial use. Second, it renders image sequences rather than movie files, though this shouldn't prove to be a problem for anyone. (It takes about one second per 100 frames to convert an image sequence into a movie in an NLE or QuickTime Pro.) And third, the Windows and Mac OS X network Render Engines are not compatible with one another. So, if you have a mixed environment, you'll have to boot your Macs in OS 9 for the time being, until Adobe updates its software to run correctly between these two platforms. (If you have the Mac version of After Effects 5.5, it runs on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X without having to do any additional installations.)
Nevertheless, the Render Engine is efficient in the extreme, which more than makes up for the little oddities you might encounter at first. In fact, it's so efficient as to be almost unbelievable. But we'll get to the results at the end....
Whether you're using Macs or PCs (or combinations of the two), the setup is the same. You begin, of course, by connecting all of your computers to be used in the render farm onto a physical network. (For a look at how to network Macintosh and Windows systems together, visit http://www.macwindows.com/tutorial.html. This link will take you to the MacWindows site, which is not affiliated with DMN.)
If you already know how to network computers and mount remote volumes, you can skip ahead to the next section, "Installing the Render Engine."
Next, create a folder somewhere that is accessible by all of the systems on your network. This will be your Watch Folder. For this example, I'll be placing the Watch Folder on the Desktop of my primary system, and I'll be calling it simply "AE Watch Folder."
To make it accessible to all of the machines on my all-Mac network, I'll need to turn on File Sharing, and then I'll need to mount my primary machine's hard drive on the remote machines. No problem.
1. Turn on AppleTalk in your Network System Preferences (Mac OS X) or Chooser (Mac OS 9) on all of your systems.
2. Turn on File Sharing in your Sharing System Preferences (Mac OS X) or File Sharing Control Panel (Mac OS 9) on the system that contains your Watch Folder--in this case my primary system.
You're now sharing your disk across the network. Now you need to mount this volume on each of the machines you plan to use in the render farm. So go to each machine and do one of the following:
- In Mac OS X, go to the Finder and select the Go menu. From there, choose "Connect to Server." The volume containing the Watch Folder will appear in the list, and you just select it, and then type in your user name and password.
- In Mac OS 9, select the Chooser from the Apple Menu. Click on the AppleShare icon, and then click on the volume that contains your Watch Folder. Type in your user name and password in the dialog that appears.
Simple Mac networking. Nothing difficult about it.

Champagne and caviar may not be in your budget this New Year's Eve, but you won't need to resort to crackers and Cheez Whiz to keep the cost of the festivities under control.
There are plenty of options for foods that are as good to your wallet as to your guests. Consider making bite-size pizzas using purchased dough and sauce. Making the dough yourself is easy, and even cheaper.
Beyond the standard tomato and mozzarella, variations can include caramelized onions and blue cheese, pesto with chopped, sun-dried tomatoes, refried beans with corn, roasted chilies and Monterey Jack cheese, and roasted garlic puree with crumbled bacon and Asiago cheese.
Many markets sell a wide selection of gourmet chicken sausages, which can be grilled, sliced and skewered on cocktail toothpicks. Serve with a selection of home-blended mustards for dipping, such as Dijon with crumbled Gorgonzola, coarse grain mustard with caramelized shallots and thyme, or spicy brown mustard mixed with jarred mango chutney.
To make mini Reubens, layer slices of leftover roast beef, pork or turkey with sauerkraut and Russian dressing on top of cocktail-size slices of rye or pumpernickel bread. Top with shredded Gruyere and broil until the cheese has melted.
Sausage, olive and dried cherry empanadas have a golden crust made from convenient and inexpensive buttermilk biscuit dough that comes packaged in tubes and can be found in the dairy case at most markets.
These treats cost 20 cents each to make and can be baked up to two days ahead, then reheated at 350 degrees.
Sausage, Olive and Dried Cherry Empanadas
Start to finish: 60 minutes
Servings: 32
1 pound loose mild pork or turkey sausage
1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/4 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 refrigerated tube of 8 large buttermilk biscuits
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage, onions and dried cherries and saute, breaking up the sausage, until no traces of pink remain, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the olives, scallions and thyme. Saute for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
On a lightly floured surface, cut each of the biscuits into quarters. Use your hands to roll each quarter into a ball, then use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a 3-inch circle.
Put about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture in the center of each circle. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, fold in half over the filling, then use the tines of a fork to press to seal the edges.
Set the empanadas on the prepared baking sheets and brush lightly with the beaten egg. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

The defensive line position was loaded at the recent NorCal NIKE Camp and one player who had a very impressive showing was Portland (Ore.) Benson Tech defensive tackle Myles Wade. Wade showed he should be mentioned among the top five DTs in the West and recently picked up his third scholarship offer following the camp.
At 6-1, 316 pounds, Wade has a great frame and man handled the opposing linemen he went up against in Stanford. The tackle tested well running a 5.22 in the 40, 4.75 in the shuttle, jumped 29 inches in the vertical and did 29 reps on the bench and his 70.80 SPARQ Rating was one of the best in the camp among the linemen.
Wade was equally as impressive in the position drills and was rated among the top three DLs in the camp by lead line coach Marty Spaulding.
Article Continues Below
"I don't like to talk about myself because I don't want to sound like I'm bragging or anything but I thought I was the best defensive lineman there," Wade said. "I felt really good all day, quick and explosive. No one came close to blocking me in the one on one drills and after I took a couple of reps, one of the coaches told me he had seen enough and said to let a few other players get in some action."
Wade came in to the camp with offers from Oregon and Oregon State and picked up offer No. 3 on Monday.
"I got a text message from Colorado yesterday saying they're offering me a scholarship and to expect something in the mail later this week," Wade said. "I never really thought that much about Colorado before but I'm definitely interested in them now. I really want to stay on the West Coast but Colorado is close to home so distance won't be a factor at all if I went there.
"I also got a call from Cal last night saying how interested they are in me. They want me to take an unofficial visit out there so I'm going to try and see if I can do that. I would like to make an early commitment, probably some time in June so I'll probably try and take some unofficial visits in the next few months."
Wade grew up an Oregon fan and received his first offer from Oregon State so we asked which of the two is holding the lead right now.
"I honestly don't have a leader between those two or Colorado right now," Wade said. "I like both schools a lot and will try and check things out at both places one last time before making a decision. I also like USC, UCLA and Notre Dame in addition to the two Oregon schools, Cal and Colorado, those are my favorites right now."

I talked about this at length with DC Women Kicking Ass yesterday, and then came across this great ladies version of the DC 75th Anniversary logo today via Geektress.
I don't know that I would have picked Black Canary – I think I'd go Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Supergirl, and perhaps…Catwoman. Regardless the choice of using the tights (since Canary doesn't have a logo) is pretty inspired from a "recognition" point of view as she's instantly recognizable, but I have admit that I'm not wild about the idea that a character is recognizable via fishnets…that seems like a bit of a step backwards…but this is the reality we live in!
Anyway, I was going to do my own version…but I'm not sure I can do a better one than this (and who knows when it will shop up) but this has inspired me to at least try. We'll see!
10 comments
yeah that is pretty sweet. i wouldn't have gone with Canary either… but her fishnets make for a pretty awesome silhouette and a nice way to break up the big blocks of black (well, in this case, blue). i understand from an artistic POV, even if i don't think of her and her threads as the most iconic that DC has to offer. i guess Catwoman would have been recognizable by the ears and tale, right?
It's pretty frustrating that we can't seem to get a character of color into either logo. (I'm pretty sure that Batgirl is meant to be Babs, yes? And much as I'd like the Green Lantern in the other logo to be John Stewart–first GL in my heart, thanks to the Justice League cartoon–I expect he's meant to be Hal, with the movie coming up.)
I actually think the silhouette idea (on the original graphic) was partially so screenprinting was easier, but also so that there isn't any race attributed to the logos. By putting them in shadow and only pulling the emblems forward you're able to include everybody. (John Stewart is my fave, too, so I just choose to believe that's him.)
Also I messed with the female graphic again so that Batgirl's cape wasn't cut off. I think I'm honestly done messing with it now.
@Nick. Yeah, I also think with catwoman, because of the googles/big eye holes, there might be a way to do it that way, that in combo with the ears will work…I'll see what I can do.
@Allie: I actually think that Batgirl above kind of looks Cass to me – since there's no hair out the back which both Babs and Steph have…which would give us a woman of color in that version. Although I'd opt probably to use Batwoman in mine, which would set us back again. But otherwise, yeah, I agree. It really shines a light on how ridiculous it is – for both logos for it to be all "white" – it's embarrassing.
1. Agree with Ross on PG.
2. Izzat Black Canary or Zatanna? Only partly kidding because Zatanna, theoretically, would be wearing a coat with tails.
3. What about the Huntress mask? Silhouette not recognizable enough, or character not sufficiently recognizable?
4. Big Barda? Same problem as Huntress?
5. Soranik Natu? Same problem as above?
6. You could populate this with Batwoman / Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, one of the many female Green Lanterns, one of the female Flashes, Mera, Speedy … hell, you could damn near do an all-female version of the JLA.
So … y'know … why stop with four? 😉
ross: Yeah, that will totally be what I draw for my version. /sarcasm.
Puckett: Yeah, I think the coat with tails would definitely delineate Black Canary from Zatanna…but you're right that it's a bit too generic to be "iconic".
I'd say both on Huntress. Not recognizable enough – silhouette and character.
Big Barda for comics fans I think would be instantly recognizable…but as a character and for people looking for iconic…no.
I don't even know Natu? Whozzat?
I only stop at four because I have limited time!

Mexican Attorney General Ariely Gomez says drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is being taken back to Antiplano — the same maximum-security prison where he escaped last July 11 using an elaborate tunnel that was dug to his shower stall.
Guzman was captured by Mexican marines early Friday in a coastal city, and the attorney general says the drug boss was tracked down partly because he was making a biographical movie.
The attorney general spoke at a ceremony Friday night at Mexico City's airport where Mexican marines displayed Guzman to journalists.

McAdoo man's motion to suppress evidence is denied
Anthony Rodriguez, 25, of 113 N. Cleveland St., McAdoo, had his motion denied by Schuylkill County Judge John E. Domalakes to suppress information obtained by McAdoo police after a traffic stop of his automobile on Nov. 28, 2009, which resulted in his arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and careless driving. He faces trial on the charges.
A hearing on his motion was held recently in the county court at which time Patrolman Jeremy Talanca testified while on patrol at 11 p.m., when he was dispatched to Rodriguez's home because of a noise complaint. While speaking to Rodriguez he detected an odor of alcohol and noted his eyes appeared glassy and his speech slurred and he was staggering. The officer noted a party was going at the residence involving drinking and music. Talanca testified he told the defendant to keep the music down and and to keep the party goers inside the house and he resumed his patrol.
He testified at 11:45 p.m. while patroling near the residence he noted the defendant pulled out in his car and almost struck the police car. The officer followed the vehicle and made a stop and cited Rodriguez for DUI.
In his motion to suppress the charges Rodgriguez testifed the officer did not have sufficient cause to stop his vehicle. The judge disagreed ruling when an officer has reasonable suspicion that a violation of the motor vehicle code is occuring or has occurred he may stop the vehicle.

Great gains for the conservation of South Africa's grasslands and wetlands
South Africa's grasslands are poorly represented in formal protected areas and this declaration will now add over 73 000 hectares of important grassland habitat to the network of protected areas within the Province.
The new protected areas are as follows:
- The Chrissiesmeer Protected Environment (60 203 hectares);
- The Kwamandlangampisi Protected Environment, near Wakkerstroom which is extended by 3 094 hectares;
- The Mabola Protected Environment (8 772 hectares), also near Wakkerstroom;The Tafelkop Nature Reserve (1 208 hectares); and
- The first community-owned protected environment in Mpumalanga, known as the Mndawe Trust Protected Environment (826 hectares), near Lydenburg.
"Furthermore Chrissiesmeer and Wakkerstroom are important tourism hubs within the province and the protection of these sites will enable the continued development of tourism opportunities within these areas."
In all of these recently declared sites, biodiversity stewardship has been a critical factor in enabling cost effective protected area expansion. It avoids taking land out of agricultural production, and has offered land owners a way to contribute to national biodiversity targets and benefit from incentives under biodiversity stewardship.
This momentous achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency, the South African National Biodiversity Institute's (SANBI) Grasslands Programme, the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF SA) and BirdLife South Africa (BLSA).
It is the result of long and fruitful partnerships that began as early as 2006 and formed part of the Mpumalanga Biodiversity Stewardship Programme, which aims to secure privately owned land within formal protected areas.
Grasslands host a number of endemic and threatened bird species, while wetlands like the Chrissiemeer pans support large populations of water birds.
BirdLife South Africa prioritised the critically important yet, highly threatened grassland biome for conservation in 2010 and, with funding from the WWF Nedbank Green Trust, was able to meaningfully contribute to this partnership and the declaration of the Chrissiessmeer Protected Environment and other sites.
"These sites all fall within the Grassland Biome and the Chrissiesmeer Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs). Chrissiesmeer pans and surrounding grasslands are immensely important for waterbirds and for threatened grassland birds, such as the African Grass Owl." says Mark Anderson, CEO of BirdLife South Africa.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) focuses on the conservation of threatened species and their habitats. Both Wakkerstroom and the Chrissiesmeer Lakes District are proposed Ramsar sites (wetlands of international importance) and provide critical habitat for numerous threatened species. The EWT spearheaded landowner engagements in Chrissiesmeer which culminated in the declaration of the Chrissiesmeer Protected Environment.
"We are excited about this conservation milestone especially in the light of the development pressures these areas face. The EWT would like to extend its appreciation to our partners and to the MEC for her visionary commitment to biodiversity conservation in Mpumalanga," says Ursula Franke, Senior Field Officer for the EWT's African Crane Conservation Programme.
WWF-SA began its partnership with the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency in 2006 through Biodiversity Stewardship initiatives within the grasslands located in the Wakkerstroom area, which resulted in the declaration of the Kwamandlangampisi Protected Environment in 2010. The subsequent expansion of this work through these recent declarations is of major consequence given pressures from unsustainable development proposals that threaten this unique area.
Morne du Plessis, CEO of WWF South Africa, congratulated the MEC and the partners for achieving this milestone.
"Not only are these sites places of immense beauty and home to special plants and animals, but their protection also secures and enhances water and food production – our lifeblood. The location of these new declarations fall entirely within South Africa's Water Source Areas that have greatest strategic value for sustaining our economy".
"We encourage the continued expansion of these protected areas for the benefit of all South Africans and the environment they live in," he said. SANBI CEO, Dr. Tanya Abrahamse, added: "The MEC has displayed great vision in ensuring these important areas continue to play a key role in the sustainable development of the province. Areas like Chrissiesmeer and the greater KwaMandlangampisi Protected Environment are not only important for the biodiversity they hold, they are also critical in ensuring the water security of local communities, the province and the country."
"To this end, SANBI has been a firm supporter of biodiversity stewardship which enables landowners, in partnership with the state, to manage their land for the contribution it makes towards ensuring healthy intact ecosystems, support human well-being and development."
Through the Grasslands Programme, SANBI has supported the biodiversity stewardship programme of MTPA and worked with the NGO partners that support stewardship.

Between pastors, Ellsworth church takes message to people
In looking inward while between pastors, an Ellsworth church congregation has been looking outward, too.
After the retirement of Pastor Harlen Menk this past spring, English Lutheran Church members hired "Church Doctor Ministries" through the Lutherans' Northwest Synod in Chetek to help assess the congregation's present condition and determine its future direction. A group of the members, including Melissa Bisila, Kelly Church, Heidi Gutting, Pat Linder and Billy Penn, discussed the effort Tuesday.
