How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
25 Apr 2010 20:46 GMT
Fischer, who is known for his diplomacy and caution, had served as a scienceminister and held various leadership positions in his party and in parliamentbefore initially winning the presidency in 2004.Far-right failureFerdinand Karlhofer, head of the University of Innsbruck's political science department, said the election results were a blow to the Freedom Party, which had hoped to position itself for key local elections in Vienna, Austria's capital, in October.
"The Freedom Party is coming out of this election with hefty minus points ... they didn't get the momentum they had hoped for,'' Karlhofer said.
"It really wasn't a fair election campaign, I think everyone saw that"
Barbara Rozenkranz,defeated Freedom Party candidate
Rosenkranz was the most visible figure during the presidential campaign, having previously sparked controversy by allegedly questioning Austria's strict law banning pro-Nazi speech and ideology.She cried foul over media coverage of herself and her party after the results were announced on Sunday.
"It really wasn't a fair election campaign, I think everyone saw that,'' she said, claiming that both her and her family were the victims of a "witch hunt".The 51-year-old mother of 10 children, whose husband used to be a member of a far-right political party banned for being too radical, had come under fire for her vague response to a question about Nazi gas chambers, but later clearly acknowledged their existence.
"Of course I condemn the monstrous atrocities, I've never done anything else," Rosenkranz told The Associated Press news agency in reference to the mass killings of mainly Jews by the Nazis during the second world war.The far-right had been on an upswing in the general elections in 2008, with the Freedom Party and its rival Alliance for the Future of Austria winning a combined 27.9 per cent of votes.
Even in European Union elections last year, the two parties together took 17.74 per cent.Heinz-Christian Strache, the Freedom Party leader who is running for mayor of Vienna, cited the low turnout for Rosenkranz's poor showing.
"This is no occasion for joy," Strache, who had initially predicted a 35 per cent share of the vote for his candidate, said.

Aerostich Khaki and Denim Protekt pants are a 100% cotton twill with 500D Cordura hidden in the high abrasion knee and seat areas. This means they are like all unwashed denim and cotton twill pants. They get a lot better comfort-wise after a few washings/wearings. Maybe two months of use, depending on how often they are worn.
These days some fashionistas talk about not ever washing their denim jeans, and putting them in a freezer occasionally to kill odor-causing bacteria. If you've never heard of this, Google it. The only thing I know about our Protekt denim and khaki pants is that for me personally, I'm not really happy comfort-wise until after they've been worn, washed and dried a few times, to soften them a little and shrink-to-fit slightly. After that one's personal taste can dictate the need for any further washing or freezings or whatever. Long-worn, seldom-washed pants do feel pretty great if you don't get them filthy working on bikes, underneath old cars and stuff like that.

Riding-specialized Jeans/Khakis…and Abrasion Characteristics
We don't have a lot of experiential feedback from customers on this yet (another year or two and we will), and we can't comment on anyone else's jeans other than ours. There are so many varieties available from so many companies there's probably a wide range of abrasion-resistances available.
Our jeans and khakis are made to feel and wear as close as possible to conventional street jeans and khaki pants. During their development we modeled several popular types including Levi's 'Dockers' for the khakis, and '501's' for the jeans. Then we added some motorcycle-specific features -- the same for both styles.
Through the entire seat area, from below the butt to the side seam, and up to the waistband, is an inner layer of the same fabric used in Roadcrafter Classic and R-3 suits, and Darien gear. The regular versions of this gear, not the 'lights'. We know from long experience as well as empirical testing that this is very good material for road abrasion protection. To help make the pants more comfortable to wear commando, there's also a third layer of soft 100% cotton facing the wearer. When you look inside the pants it looks like they are partly lined, because they are.
This same three-layer construction is also used at the knee: Outer cotton denim or khaki twill fabric > seat-and-knee Roadcrafter/Darien fabric > seat-and-knee lightweight cotton inner lining. At the knee there's also a hidden zipper along the outside pant leg seam allowing one to quickly and easily add knee impact armor while still wearing the pants.
Abrasion resistance at areas other than the seat and knee is about the same as regular street jeans or khakis. Stitching is done with slightly heavier-duty thread, but it still is more similar to what jeans are sewn with than what Roadcrafters are sewn with.
Personally, I wear these for riding around town and commuting during the summer on warmer/nicer days, beneath a Darien Light jacket because they are cool, comfortable and still offer some useful protection. Here in Duluth MN this type of use means about 80% surface streets. Not a lot of time on multi-lane high speed highways, though there is some. If my everyday routines involved lots of time at 70-80mph on six lane freeways I'd be more comfortable inside an R-3 light, or a Darien AD-1 pants.
On the other hand, every day I see lots of helmetless riders zooming along crowded freeways wearing at most an inexpensive mesh jacket. There's maybe five not-very-protectively-clothed riders for every one that is.
– Mr. Subjective, 4-15
Your Favorite New Pants.
I've always wanted a pair of pants like these to wear into work on warm days under nothing but a button-down shirt and Darien Light jacket. Something that looked exactly like the khaki 'Dockers®' street pants I usually wear under a Roadcrafter. Comfortable pants (especially on hotter days) that would provide semi-decent abrasion protection in case of a crash. Pants with big protective knee pads that would go in and out very fast...while sitting right at my desk. A pair of pants that were all-day comfortable at work worn with a shirt and sometimes even a tie. Maybe a sport coat, too. Occasionally.
So we modified several pairs of actual 'Levi's Dockers®,' making small adjustments and changes to each pair. Eventually, voila — we had some very plain-looking khaki pants that were comfortable all day at work, and for riding, and were not jeans.
Getting all of this correct took us about a year, squeezed between other work and projects. Then finding someone in the USA with this type of pant-making experience — someone to produce a nicely sewn final version — took another year. But finally it all came together.
I'd wanted a pair of pants exactly like this for more than ten years. Everyday wearing pants that were comfortable commuting, reasonably protective, and that looked ok at work.
These are those pants.

Final Thoughts
In my final paragraph, I'd like to say the same thing I said in my 3DMark article - I want to see more social integration in these benchmarks.
Unigine should include some ladder that threads into Facebook, as it would not only bring users together - but it would bring users (and thus, consumers) into the same loop as the overclockers. This would compound into more business for companies as users would want more hardware like the enthusiasts use to break world records. This is all on top of Heaven being more social, which is always a good thing.
The power of the benchmark has always been the same - to stress out your system as much as possible. Heaven does just that.
All Unigine need to do is continue on this path, and doing their usual little changes to Heaven to enjoy their position in the benchmarking market. I found Heaven stressed out my rig more than other benchmarks, having to play with my overclocks more than I usually do, too.
I'd like to see the next iteration of Heaven stress systems even more, cranking up the detail in the tessellation and maybe moving away from the themed island we have now and into something different.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethicon Endo-Surgery today announced results from two newly published studies that demonstrate a minimally invasive approach in three common procedures resulted in a reduced rate of complications and lower overall cost of care, including a difference of more than $15,000 on average for minimally invasive colectomies, when compared to open surgery. One study compared two types of minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures to open abdominal hysterectomy(i) and another study analyzed outcomes of minimally invasive approaches for appendectomy and colectomy procedures compared to open surgery(ii).
The study titled "Open Abdominal versus Laparoscopic and Vaginal Hysterectomy: Analysis of a Large United States Payer Measuring Quality and Cost of Care" showed, in line with previous studies, minimally invasive hysterectomy reduced rates of postoperative infection and length of stay in the hospital when compared to open abdominal hysterectomy. Open surgery was also associated with higher costs than those who underwent laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomy. Given these findings, the study authors concluded a substantial opportunity exists to shift more hysterectomies from an in-patient to an outpatient setting while maintaining or improving the clinical outcome for patients.
"The clinical and economic outcomes of the study demonstrate the need for higher adoption of minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures in patients who are candidates for this approach," said Lori Warren, M.D.,* lead author of the study and an advanced gynecologic laparoscopic surgeon with Women First of Louisville. "In this age of comparative effectiveness, this study shows that when it comes to hysterectomy, a minimally invasive approach gives physicians the opportunity to increase the quality of care women are receiving while potentially saving the healthcare system millions of dollars. Clinicians who have had concerns that minimally i

On Monday, February 24, European Union counter-piracy operation Atalanta and EUCAP Nestor, the civilian-led Maritime Security Capacity building EU Mission, hosted two training sessions for Tanzanian Maritime Police and Navy in Dar es Salaam to share knowledge and experiences in fight against piracy in the Horn of Africa and Western Indian Ocean region.
The practical trainings held on board the EU Naval Force flagship, FS Siroco, were carried out by experienced trainers and dealt with typical piracy related situations. Such trainings are regularly carried out during port visits of EUNAVFOR ships and are often embedded into trainings held by EUCAP Nestor. These trainings dealt with inspecting suspicious skiffs, detaining suspected pirates and collecting evidence for their possible prosecution.
"I am very pleased to see how much EU Naval Force can rely on Tanzanian Navy and also maritime Police Forces for counter-piracy in Eastern Africa as Tanzania is a key partner for Atalanta", the Force Commander of EU Naval Force, Rear Admiral Hervé Bléjean stated.
"This common view with Tanzania regarding piracy issue is really important in order to set up the conditions for a safe and secured maritime environment in the area. The new joint training involving, Tanzanian Navy and Maritime Police Forces, which was performed by FS Siroco today, shows the EUNAVFOR will reach the best cooperation level with these authorities, building up a confident partnership with Tanzania", he added.
Comprehensive Approach of EU
As part of the European Union's comprehensive approach to secure the waters in the Horn of Africa and Western Indian Ocean, the strengthening of maritime security capacities through trainings and experience-sharing with local authorities plays a vital role in combating piracy in the region. The EU is committed to combating Somali-based piracy and Tanzania is an important partner in strengthening the regional maritime security through sharing maritime awareness.
EUCAP Nestor, present in the region since September 2012 and in Tanzania since December 2013 through a liaison officer, is currently delivering a two weeks criminal investigation training to 8 Officers of the Tanzanian Maritime Police and 8 officers of the Tanzanian Peoples Defense Forces' Navy.
"Mentoring, advising and training are the core activities of EUCAP Nestor in the Horn of Africa region" said the Head of Mission of EUCAP Nestor, Etienne de Poncins, speaking about EUCAP Nestor's efforts in Tanzania and the region.
"Our presence in Tanzania since December 2013 will make it easier to coordinate these activities and to plan and carry out trainings and workshops. We are excited to develop further partnerships with our partners here and are committed to deliver programs that will reinforce maritime security in the region as a whole."
EU Missions in the Region
EU Naval Force deters, prevents and represses acts of piracy and armed robbery off the coast of Somalia. EU Naval Force ships protect World Food Program vessels delivering aid to Somalia and AMISOM shipping. EU Naval Force ships also contribute to the monitoring of fishing activity off the Somali Coast.
EUCAP Nestor is a civilian mission mandated to assist countries in the Horn of Africa and the Western Indian Ocean region to develop and enhance their own maritime security. The mission also aims to develop land-based coastal police forces and judicial capabilities in the region.

moreIn Adult Literacy and Development: Stories from the Field, Alan Rogers and Brian Street draw upon their extensive experience in adult literacy promotion in many different countries of the developing world and the West, and on the work of many others (both researchers and practitioners) to try to understand what literacy means in different contexts and to develop new ways in which the uses of literacy can be promoted. They advocate the use of ethnographic approaches to explore the nature of everyday literacy practices, especially those learned through informal learning. In seeking new ways of promoting literacy, they argue that the two fields of the informal learning of informal literacies and the formal learning of formal literacies which ethnographic studies have revealed can form an alliance; that each can build on the other to increase the literacy practices in everyday use. Adult Literacy and Development: Stories from the Field is brought to life with stories drawn from their experience and is illustrated with photographs of adult literacy practices in different international contexts. It will appeal to all those concerned with adult literacy, whether in so-called Developing countries or the West practitioners and policy makers, planners and trainers, and researchers and students in development and educational programmes. less

Obama's Decision To Put US Forces On The Ground In Jordan Is Lunacy
Did you know that Barack Obama has made the utterly bizarre decision to put American troops on the ground in Jordan
The United States has sent military troops to the Jordan-Syria border to bolster that country's military capabilities in the event that violence escalates along its border with Syria, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday.
Speaking at a NATO conference of defense ministers in Brussels, Panetta said the U.S. has been working with Jordan to monitor chemical and biological weapons sites in Syria and also to help Jordan deal with refugees pouring over the border from Syria. The troops are also building a headquarters for themselves.
But the revelation of U.S. military personnel so close to the 19-month-old Syrian conflict suggests an escalation in the U.S. military involvement in the conflict, even as Washington pushes back on any suggestion of a direct intervention in Syria.
Barack Obama is putting American troops at risk by placing them on the ground in Jordan. It opens our soldiers up to terrorist attacks and the idea that they could be involved in potential fighting on the Jordanian border is insane. We have no national interest in Jordan or Syria and putting our troops in the middle of that mess is risking their lives so Barack Obama can feel like a big man.

We studied the potential of community-based health insurance (CHI) to contribute to the performance of health financing systems. The international empirical evidence is analysed on the basis of the three health financing subfunctions as outlined in the World Health Report 2000: revenue collection, pooling of resources and purchasing of services. The evidence indicates that achievements of CHI in each of these subfunctions so far have been modest, although many CHI schemes still are relatively young and would need more time to develop. We present an overview of the main factors influencing the performance of CHI on these financing subfunctions and discuss a set of proposals to increase CHI performance. The proposals pertain to the demand for and the supply of health care in the community; to the technical, managerial and institutional set-up of CHI; and to the rational use of subsidies.

At this time I'd like to turn the conference over to Ed Yuen. You may begin.
Ed Yuen
Thank you. Before we get started, please note that certain comments made on this call will contain forward-looking statements regarding expectations about future growth and financial results based on Covisint's current forecast of the aspects of its future business. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical performance or current expectations. Risk factors are included in today's press release and Covisint's public filings with the SEC. We have posted our earnings press release and presentation to the Investor Relations portion of our website at www.covisint.com.
I will now turn the conference call over to David McGuffie, Covisint's President and Chief Executive Officer.
David McGuffie
Thank you, Ed. Welcome everyone to Covisint's third quarter fiscal 2014 earnings call. Joining me on today's call is Rico Digirolamo, our Chief Financial Officer. I'll begin by discussing our business and financial highlights during the quarter. I will then turn the call over to Rico, who will walk you through our financial results in more detail. Finally, we'll open the call to take your questions.
Turning to Slide 3, in the third quarter we continued to make significant progress on our major strategic objectives. Our subscription revenue increased 21% year-over-year to $17.6 million. This is strong growth in the most important and profitable part of our revenue. As we have previously discussed, our long term strategy is to make this a larger part of our overall revenue mix and we are progressing positively towards this goal.
Our services revenue was $6.5 million for the quarter. We have less services revenue than anticipated for this quarter partly because some of the work will be rolled over into Q4. But more importantly, we are seeing the investments in our platform pay off as the shift in our revenue mix is happening faster than we have anticipated.
We added 21 new customers to the Covisint platform in the third quarter and 21 agreements with existing customers. This continues a trend of major account expansion based on the capabilities of our platform to solve strategic problems across multiple use cases. The third quarter also featured significant groundwork on our partnership with Cisco. This partnership is a result of one of the most in-depth technical and business due diligence processes we have ever seen. It's a validation of our platform, our go-to-market teams and technical capability and it will offer access to partners, customers and influencers that we wouldn't otherwise reach.
Under the agreement, Cisco will embed Covisint technology within the Cisco Exchange platform to provide high value connected industry solutions to Cisco customers worldwide. The combined offerings will be available to customers within the coming weeks to support a variety of enterprise solutions for financial services, energy, healthcare and manufacturing. The platform will include enterprise grade business services that securely provision applications, data devices and processes through powerful cloud user experiences designed for both desktop and mobile users.
The partnership also leverages Covisint's deep legacy in providing hardened identify management across highly federated operating environments that are typical in Internet of Things initiatives. The first customer uses our plan for the first half of 2014 in North America. This is a key step in our long-term strategy to work with channel partners for the services and distribution of our platform.
In Q3, we continue to aggressively acquire the people, processes and infrastructure needed to operate as a fully independent public company. We have added a seasoned general counsel and HR leadership as well as built out our finance staff. We have made a significant process in implementing the systems that will facilitate our separation from Compuware. As part of this process we have added three new independent Board of Directors members: Sam Inman, Dave Hansen and Philip Lay, three highly respected minds in technology, to Covisint's Board. Their global experiences in creating and guiding winning strategies for Cloud and other technology companies will significantly contribute to Covisint's execution as we enter the next phase of our growth as a public company. We are continuing to invest in and deliver new platform capabilities. As you know, the Covisint platform allows our customers to connect, engage and collaborate with our customers, business partners and suppliers. Extending our core confidences of security, integration and presentation this quarter, we released new features around ease-of-use, self administration and mobile alerting.
Our investments over the last three quarters have focused on enabling partners and customers to do more self administration, integration and development on the Covisint platform. We have also soft launched our Covisint predictive analytics solution into certain trial markets. This solution will allow health care organizations facing financial risk and accountability for overall patient health to identify and intervene with those patients at greatest risk for costly health issues, you will hear more about Covisint predictive analytics this quarter.
Turning to slide 4, we show the subscription revenue growth. As I had mentioned earlier, subscription revenues increased 21% year-over-year in the third quarter and for the first three quarters of the year, we have 20% growth year-over-year. We are pleased with the accelerating growth trend for our subscription revenue.

Is the 3DES encryption algorithm the best choice for S/MIME protocol?
The triple DES encryption algorithm was originally designed for the S/MIME protocol, but is it still the best choice for encryption? In this expert response, Randall Gamby describes the advantages and disadvantages to using 3DES.
Because of the limitations of the key lengths used in 3DES and its poor execution on general-purpose computers,...

S/MIME eventually adopted AES as the standard for its encryption. AES, also known as Rijndael and FIPS-197, is a symmetric block cipher that can accept variable block and key lengths up to 256-bits and isn't restricted to the less secure 64-bit key lengths of 3DES. Plus, it would probably run a bit better on your server than 3DES. Because of this, it's hard to recommend using 3DES (even though it should be technically possible) because ultimately you'll be taking a giant step backward. But assuming you have a requirement due to a legacy system, I'd recommend doing some research on the Internet to find an old copy of the S/MIME protocol standard for guidance on how to integrate a 3DES encryption key into it.

Customer Reviews of Chef Buddy Auto Mixing Travel Mug with Tornado Action (Double Layer)
you get what you pay for
Good deal for the money10/26/2014
I have been using 2 of these mugs for about a week now to mix cream and sugar in my hot tea and coffee and make Crystal Light lemonade. SO far so good. Especially comes in handy in the car where there's no spoon around and mixes drinks way better than a stir. Good it has a spill proof lid too.
Product purchased: Chef Buddy Auto Mixing Travel M10/25/2014
Is this a kind of jock? How you wanted mix something in a mix that even have blade to cut anything. It have plastic, what you see look like a blade but is just plastic. I bought this for my husband when he travel take to do his avocado smoothie. The stop is hard to open, the only thing it do it is noise with water nothing else. This great for Autistic kid to play as tornado with water, but batteries doesn't last longer. It no use beside the cup. But you can drink water in any others cup can you!
Quality product10/20/2014
I purchased 3 and they work well.
Great. little mixer for light duty use10/20/2014
The mixer appears to be made of top quality materials that clean up easily. It does a great job of mixing my protein drinks. Clean up is reasonably easy after you discover how to remove the lid (no instructions), which is done by opening the clear lid and then removing the black lid which takes a bit of effort because of the tight seal. Of course I have no idea what the durability will be. Hopefully it will last a few years.
Protein shakes10/20/2014
I needed something to mix protein powder and water on the go and this does the job perfectly. Before I had been shaking the ingredients vigorously inside a disposable cup but it would always leak and never mixed them very well. The Chef Buddy has a motor that is so quiet it goes undetectable. Easy to wash out too. Very happy with my purchase!
Good One10/18/2014
Good One
Neat Product10/18/2014
I just recieved this but think it is a neat product for a gift.
Looks great out of the box10/17/2014
No instructions included but once I figured out how to get bottom off to put in two AAA batteries, all was good. Have not used (it is a gift) so I cannot comment on durability but it looks good and sturdy.
Great idea10/17/2014
I bought two of these as gifts and have not given them to their intended recipients yet, so this is based on my inspection of the product. The cup itself is heavy , double wall construction, with a sturdy snap down lid. The lid swings open and does not separate from the base. The overall construction is excellent , not delicate at all. Though I didn't try mixing anything, there is no doubt in my mind it will function as intended.
Great Product7/27/2014
It was exactly and shown and works great!
the glass is what any one would need
What a way to drink!7/7/2014
This product should be made in colors as well!! But it is a great little item especially for my elderly Aunt who is partially handicapped!! Thank you....
piece of crap7/6/2014
Do not buy it's crap.
Not vey strong7/6/2014
The item will mix your beverage but very slowly. It operates on 2 AAA batteries so it has limited power.
So far so good!7/3/2014
Wish it had instructions... lol At first I tried to unscrew the bottom to put the batteries in. But that is Not the way. The rubber part on the bottom unplugs to reveal battery compartment. The same for the black top. It does not unscrew. The upper part of the black top pulls off. I've used it twice so far, and it works good. Oh, put the liquid in first and then any powder [I am using whey isolate]. If you put the powder in first, the "PLASTIC" spinner will not turn.
Very cool and works6/30/2014
This portable mixture is very cool to use and works as describe.
Trademark Mfg Part#: 80-01215A6/30/2014
Item is easy to use. Very handy when traveling.
I like it6/29/2014
No more looking for some thing to stir my coffee
Just what I needed6/29/2014
Product is exactly what I've been looking for and hadn't been able to find.
Hard to clean. Not strong enough for a protein drink.

Police: Gwinnett Woman Belinda Allen steals ID to fund side business

Gwinnett County police said a woman used her position at work to steal the identity of customer with the same name.
Police said she used the information to open new credits card accounts.
But, investigators told Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh the victim discovered the fraud on her own as she was checking her annual credit report.
Police say
47-year-old Belinda Allen attempted to open credit cards accounts with American Express, Discover and Capitol One using the Social Security number and birth date of another Belinda Allen.
But on the applications she used her own contact information.
"In the application information for the credit cards, her phone number and email address were discovered," said Cpl. Jake Smith with the Gwinnett County Police Department.
Police said that contact information led to the Facebook page for Jazi-B Productions, the suspect's side business.
Police said when they searched her Buford home they found hard evidence.
"They found in particular letters from the credit card companies denying the credit card application," Smith said.
Police said Allen worked at a Duluth accounting office which had access to personal information for customers of several car dealerships, including the Mall of
Georgia Honda.
Police said Belinda Allen, the victim, recently purchased a car here.
Police said when they arrested Allen at work Friday afternoon; she confessed to stealing the information and allegedly said she did so to boost her side business.
"She had a particular event planned and some unforeseen fees had come up she intended to use the victim's information to pay these fees for her second business," Smith said.
Allen is charged with financial identity fraud and financial transaction card fraud.
Investigators said Allen had access to so much information, they will be checking to see if any other fraud may have taken place.
Police said Allen successfully opened a credit card account. They are checking to see if any charges were made on it.
Police said this case really highlights the importance of pulling that annual credit report.
