A Step Towards Normal for Burundi's Last Rebels
Rebecca Feeley is a research consultant based in Goma, DR Congo. She has lived in the Great Lakes region for nearly four years, previously working for African Rights, the Clinton Foundation, Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research International, and the Enough Project.
This post is the third in a series about Burundi. Visit us again in the coming weeks for more posts from Rebecca's trip.
"Madame, they are very dangerous. They can be extremely violent, especially if they don't like what you say," warned Romain Ndagabwa without looking up from the papers swallowing his desk. Ndagabwa, director of the demobilization center in Burundi's second largest city, Gitega, was referring to the former combatants of the National Liberation Forces, or FNL, which were cycling through the center as part of the process of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration, or DDR. Ndagabwa wanted to participate in my discussions with the combatants, but was too busy. I had a feeling he was trying to scare me away from doing so altogether. "I'm sure I'll be fine," I assured him. "I've interviewed former combatants before. Plus, I won't be talking that much. Hopefully they'll do all of that." Mr. Ndagabwa didn't press further. He shook my hand and agreed to gather a few of the ex-combatants for me to interview. Then he looked at his watch and ran out the door.
The pro-Hutu FNL was the last rebel group operating in Burundi until, in April of this year, the government of Burundi agreed to recognize the FNL as a legitimate political party. The FNL, in turn, agreed to integrate some combatants into the security services and demobilize others. For those being demobilized, the center in Gitega was the last stop before being released back into their communities. I was at the center to talk to the former rebels about their pasts and was also curious about their expectations for re-integration into civilian life.
That day the center housed roughly 700 ex-combatants who would stay there only a week. It seemed nothing more than a holding pen where most just wandered aimlessly or floated between the administrative block and the sleeping quarters. A few stepped outside the compound to buy lollipops or cigarettes. Many of them were eager to talk to me when I sat down with a group of 40 or so combatants.
Explaining the purpose of my research to them and my interest in repatriation had a rough start. Most of them wondered why I was there if I wasn't going to donate money, while others hinted at fears of being exploited without compensation. Once one combatant mentioned his need for more funds, about 20 others raised their hands to explain how they, too, didn't have any money to survive after they left the demobilization center. "We hear about the World Bank and the UN and all the millions they receive, but we see none of it." "That's not totally true, is it? Don't you get multiple installments of money after you leave here?" I asked. "Yes, but it's not enough," they said in unison.
I shared my thoughts about how I believed re-integration to be the most neglected component of the process. "We westerners tend to get very excited when we hear about peace accords and armed groups agreeing to DDR, but the first two D's tend to capture our attention and efforts more than re-integration." I got a few smiles. I went on to explain that without strong re-integration efforts that include access to education and job skills training, former combatants can be tempted to rejoin armed groups on the promise of surviving by any means necessary. I was preaching to the choir. "We don't want to go back and fight again, but we'll do so if we have no other option, no other way to survive," said one combatant as many nodded. A few offered that they wanted to go back to school, while others wanted to start a small business or just cultivate land.
In a post-conflict environment, if peace has any hope of surviving, the employment or active engagement of ex-combatants in the civilian community must yield greater returns than an armed group. It is not easy to advocate for the needs of ex-combatants in Burundi and elsewhere when there are hundreds of millions of innocent civilians who have been affected by armed conflict and who continue to suffer as well. The civilians are, rightfully, the priority of international assistance and aid. However, if our aim is to prevent the re-escalation of conflict, we must also try to ensure that those who once carried arms can become productive members of society.
As I was leaving the center, one of them grabbed the notebook from my hand. Then he held out his palm waiting for my pen. I gave it to him, curious to see what he would do. "I'm going to give you my name and my email address, so you can write me and tell me when there will be more money for us." I told him I didn't think I could tell him about the money. "Ok then, just write me and tell me when your post is up. So we know when more people know about us." I smiled and said yes. This, at least, was a promise I could keep.

White House proposes new help for troubled mortgages. Too little, too late?
President Obama's mortgage modification program has helped only a fraction of Americans under water. New measures have been proposed, but they could be costly to taxpayers.
(Page 2 of 2)
But it's also a critical issue for Obama, beyond the debate about the government's responsibility in helping struggling homeowners. Key election battleground states, including Florida and California, are awash in foreclosures and pinched homeowners, critical anchors on the economy.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The big question is whether the expanded incentives will actually spur banks to action.
Intended to reach 4 million homeowners, HAMP has only successfully helped 1 million, reducing monthly payments by an average of $500. Last week, Bank of America and Chase were both in danger of losing tens of millions of payments from Washington due to lackluster participation in HAMP. For many homeowners, too, the modification process has proved onerous, frustrating, and, at the end of the day, too much of a hassle for too little payout.
"I'm not that excited about incentives," Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, told the Huffington Post. "The fact is, the banks have done a terrible job complying with the program. Today, we're seeing the same problems as three years ago – they lose people's documents, they wrongly push people into foreclosure. And the Treasury Department hasn't held them accountable for their failures. So even if you expand the incentives, until you make the banks comply, we're going to see these problems."
Congressional Republicans tried to kill the program last year, but their effort died in the Democrat-controlled Senate. The administration, meanwhile, insists that HAMP has been effective, and expanding it over the next two years will be critical not just to struggling homeowners, but to bolster economic recovery.
"Ensuring that Americans who are struggling to make ends meet have lower payments, those out of work have more time (up to 12 months) to catch up on missed payments, and helping those who are struggling with secondary debt, like second liens, medical bills and credit cards by lifting the debt to income ratio, all the while helping to keep more Americans in their homes is an important step toward doing that," HUD spokesman Derrick Plummer wrote to the Huffington Post.

About this encyclopediaDisability and Disabled
Jeff Rosen
Approximately 54 million people, one in five Americans, have a disability, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The size of this population group would rank people with disabilities among the largest minority groups in the United States. Disability knows no limitation by race, ethnicity, religion, or gender. It is an experience that touches upon every corner of society. Indeed, as average life spans trend upward, disability prevalence is also increasing as a natural phenomenon of aging. However, people with disabilities remain in the shadows of the general public, largely ignored as people with an undesirable characteristic and condemned to inequality of opportunity. This entry offers insight into the disability identity and its future direction. Conventionally, disability refers to an individual's physical or mental limitations. For example, the World Health Organization defines disability as any restriction or lack of ability (resulting from an impairment) to perform an activity in the manner ...

Paleo blogger, podcaster and disordered eating overcomer Kaila Prins is our interview guest today in Episode 741 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show."
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 40:21 — 32.6MB)
One of the biggest unspoken, taboo topics that you rarely hear discussed within any health community is the subject of eating disorders. Anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating and more are probably a lot more common than we'd like to admit. And when you add other addictive, compulsive actions to this, it can be a recipe for health disaster all under the guise of becoming healthier. This is something our interview guest today knows more than a thing or two about. Her name is Kaila Prins from the "In My Skinny Genes" blog and she spent 13 years of her life attempting to battle both an eating disorder and exercise addiction with a variety of strategies before finding the Paleo diet. She is the silky-smooth voice behind the blog "In My Skinny Genes" and the deeply philosophical health podcast called "Finding Our Hunger" helping others seeking solace from their addictions.
Listen in as Jimmy and Kaila talk about her personal journey with addiction, how she endured through yo-yo diets, calorie counting, full-fledged anorexia, and even veganism for so many years of her life, how the Paleo template helped her successfully kick start and sustain her recovery, why she thinks the Paleo community should start focusing on helping people learn how to eat properly rather than weight loss or perfection, why she began her blog and how it has morphed into what it is now, her work with fellow actress Ito Aghayere on the most unique podcast in the Paleo community, how she is helping others learn how to beat their addictions as a health coach, and so much more! This was a deep conversation with someone who has become a great friend to Jimmy Moore over the past year. Share this podcast with anyone you know struggling with an eating disorder and exercise addiction.

Candidates for public office in the city of Alton will have an opportunity to address the concerns of voters during a public forum a week from Tuesday. The event, organized by the East End Improvement Association is sponsored by WBGZ, Riverbender.com and the Alton Telegraph.
Each candidate in a contested race will be given an opportunity to speak in the order their names appear on the ballot. Those running unopposed will be introduced, but not speak. Candidates for Alderman in Wards 1, 2, 3 and 7 will be allowed to speak for three minutes. Then the focus will shift to the mayoral race. Each of the three candidates will be given five minutes to speak, starting with incumbent Tom Hoechst, who is being challenged by write-in candidates Brant Walker and Jackie Morris. After individual remarks, questions from the audience will be asked to each of the mayoral candidates, with each having two minutes to respond.
The candidate forum will be held March 5th at the Holiday Inn on Homer Adams Parkway at 7 p.m.

- make this recipe
- user reviews ()
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 medium oranges, lemons, or limes
- 3 cups half-and-half or light cream
- 2 3 inches cinnamon sticks, broken up
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Raspberry Sauce or Hot Chocolate Sauce (see recipes below)
- Fresh raspberries (optional)
- Fresh mint sprigs (optional)
1. In a heavy medium skillet, cook the 1/3 cup sugar over medium-high heat until the sugar begins to melt, shaking skillet occasionally. Dont stir. Once the sugar starts to melt, reduce heat to low and cook about 5 minutes more or until all of the sugar melts and is golden brown, stirring as needed with a wooden spoon.
2. Remove skillet from heat and immediately divide the caramelized sugar among six 6-ounce custard cups, or pour caramelized sugar into a 9-inch flan pan or a 9x1-1/2-inch round baking pan. Working quickly, rotate cups or pan so sugar coats the bottom as evenly as possible. Cool the caramelized sugar.
For custard::3. Remove the peel from the oranges, lemons, or limes with a vegetable peeler. In a medium saucepan, heat the half-and-half, citrus peel, and cinnamon sticks over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until tiny bubbles just form around the edge.
4. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and yolks in a medium bowl until mixed. Gradually whisk in the 2/3 cup sugar and set aside.
5. Strain the half-and-half mixture; discard the citrus strips and cinnamon pieces. Slowly stir the hot half-and-half into the egg mixture. Stir in the vanilla. Place the prepared custard cups or the flan pan in a shallow roasting pan on an oven rack. Pour egg mixture into the custard cups or pan. Pour hot tap water into the roasting pan around the cups or pan to a depth of about 1/2 inch.
6. Bake dessert in a 325 degree F oven about 35 minutes for custard cups (45 minutes for flan pan) or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 1 hour. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.
7. To serve, unmold the flan by loosening the edges with a knife. Slip the end of knife down the sides of cup or pan to let in air. Carefully invert a dessert plate over a custard cup (or serving platter over pan); turn dishes over together to release custard. Spoon any of the caramelized sugar that remains in cup or pan on top. Serve with Raspberry Sauce or Hot Chocolate Sauce. If you like, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs. Makes 6 servings.
- To make chocolate sauce ahead, prepare sauce. Cover; chill up to 5 days. Reheat slowly in a heavy saucepan, or transfer to a microwave-safe bowl; cook on 100 percent power (high) 30 to 60 seconds; stir.
Yield: about 1 1/2 cups
- 3 cups fresh red raspberries or one 12-ounce package frozen and thawed red raspberries or 3 cups fresh strawberries or 12 ounces frozen and thawed unsweetened strawberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
1. In a food processor or blender, combine red raspberries or frozen and thawed red raspberries or strawberries or frozen and thawed unsweetened strawberries, and sugar. Cover and process or blend until mixture is smooth. Strain sauce and discard seeds. Cover and chill until serving time or up to 5 days. Makes about 1-1/2 cups.

A three-stage design analysis that can be added to a prewriting strategy to produce a more efficient and portable computer user manual is presented. The three stages are: preliminary analysis, defining who the audience is, what they presently know about the subject, what they need to know, and how they will react to the information presented; needs assessment, a systematic effort that gathers opinions and ideas from a variety of sources regarding performance problems or new systems and technologies; and design for learning, which moves from gathering information to analyzing audience needs, defining learning objectives and designing the manual itself. It is shown that the three-stage process justifies a writer's work by citing specific cost factors and casts the writer in the role of a communication analyst who is capable of finding motivational, environmental, and cost issues in the organization

Friendship is one of those things that I treasure. If you read this post, and of course grab the recipe, you'll know exactly why.
I believe that we all need to let our light shine. If we all spent more time building each other up we all would be succeeding and feeling more peace, love and happiness. In fact my husband told me that there are people who breath life and then there's the life suckers.
Life Breathers
Some people breath life into you. They make you stronger, better, lovelier and you walk away a better person. Everyone take a moment and think, who is it in your life that breathes life into you? For me, it is, of course my husband, but there are many others. Read the link above if you haven't already to know why he sustains and supports me.
Life Suckers
Then there are the life suckers. They suck the life out of everyone. They can't keep friendships because they are so sad and unhappy that they cannot stop dragging others down as well. These are the people who are always looking to build themselves up, whether by lying, gossiping, tearing others down and what not. They may not even realize that they do it, but they do. And here is the tricky thing, these people will drag you down, but you may not even realize it.
I've learned that I can watch my actions and what I say, but that I do not have to keep those people in my life. In fact, I don't have to feel anger towards them at all, but instead love them for who they are and pray that they will have experiences to change their hearts. It's not that they aren't in your life because you are being mean or wish ill will upon them, instead it's choosing to surround yourself with "life breathers", ones that will make you better and that you can be safe with.
It's time for a constant effort to be "life breathers"… It's time to not only be one ourselves, but to help others be them as well. It's time to surround ourselves with the good, and strong. Kind of like Deborah from Taste and Tell. Clearly my hubby is my number one, and while I have a lot of wonderful people in my life, Deborah and I have become dear friends. Let me introduce you to a real "life breather".
A Real "Life Breather"-Deborah from Taste and Tell
Deborah and I met a while back, but at EVO'12 we really got to talk and get to know each other. Blogging is a tricky thing. I'll talk more about this later, but let's just say that it requires a ton of work and most of us are just trying to make ourselves known. Sometimes it can be hard to be a blogger. There's a lot of competition and some see each other as just that, competition. I don't feel that way. Especially after talking with Deborah.
Deborah has a kind and tender heart that can be used for so much good in the world. She works her little tail off. She strives to do and be good at all times. Deborah is a true friend. She helps me to feel like I am worth it. She helped me to end the comparing and feeling like I could never catch up. Instead, we have decided to be grateful for every blessing, big or small, and to take care of those around us. It's about love. It's about sharing each other's posts, commenting, and lifting each other up. We each deserve happiness and Deborah helps everyone around her to feel cared for, appreciated, and safe.
After talking with Deborah, the world doesn't seem so hard anymore. Things are a little more clear, and life has been breathed back into you.

So I usually end up watching way too many little kids' television shows with my little brother anyway. But today he got his hands on a copy of The Magic School Bus so I was actually pretty pumped--I loved the show back in elementary school so pretending to pay attention to something else while actually nostalgically watching over his shoulder was entirely in order. (Honestly, I think that The Magic School Bus was why I didn't do so well in Astronomy--I mean, I expected field trips to Jupiter and like, fun, but it was all numbers and like, memorize the constellation. Oh, and fun fact: Lily Tomlin does the voice of Ms. Frizzle...)
But anyway, my subsequent years of experience in life, science, and clothes since I last saw the show led me to an amazing discovery: all the kids on the show were a serious coalition of hipsters*-in-training! Look for yourself (sorry the pictures are so small!):
Carlos, the adventurous know-it-all one, perfectly embodies the Flex Fleece-and-Slim Slack wearing, Williamsburg dwelling fashionista-boy... just check out those kicks!
Keisha, of course, is your classic club-hopping, sophisticated Facehunter Girl.
D.A., however, is straight out of the streets of Helsinki.
Phoebe, in her awesome romper, embodies classic mod with a little bit of twee.
And last but not least, Arnold. Arnold! The hypochondriac, geeky-chic kid with the specs... Dare we say the next Rivers Cuomo?
Oh, and don't worry, Penny Lane, I'm working on it! I just love a lot of stuff...
*I mean "hipster" in the sense of "embodies awesome style..." nothing detrimental. I mean, just look at them!

The Wrong Show is an independent and alternative comedy night in Leeds. This is our blog. Here you will find comedy reviews, features, and interviews. We were formally known as HOWL. Our home is The Fenton, Leeds.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
By Michael Sterrett
During the Comedians of Comedy Live concert film no less than Patton Oswalt introduces Dana Gould as 'the man who pretty much invented what we do'. High praise indeed. Gould has been working as a standup since the 1980s when he started performing in the clubs of his native Boston before moving to San Francisco. He is one of those great figures in modern American comedy who is perhaps not a household name, yet commands considerable respect from his peers and fans of the art.
Viewers of Seinfeld will remember him as 'The Summer George' and astute comedy nerds might know his work as a writer on The Simpsons. I'm delighted to say that Gould has had somewhat of a stand up renaissance since quitting his Simpsons job, releasing the fantastic Let Me Put My Thoughts In You and appearing on shows like Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel. But perhaps greatest of all was when Gould threw his hat into the pod casting ring this year with The Dana Gould Hour.
You know when you have a friend that is a really good cook and they invite you over for dinner? You just know it's going to be a slap up feed and you look forward to it all week? That's how I felt when I heard Dana Gould was starting a podcast and my expectations were exceeded beautifully. The Dana Gould Hour is a gorgeously presented hour long show that includes discussions and anecdotes from Gould himself and a host of brilliant minds like Eddie Pepitone, Jon Ennis and Blaine Capatch. There are also interludes where he explores topics as diverse and fascinating as the Manson murders, Murray Wilson, The Church of Satan, the Kennedy assassination, KISS, and Lon Chaney Junior's portrayal of The Wolfman. And that's not to mention his obsession with The Planet of the Apes films (an obsession I share).
What differentiates The Dana Gould Hour from many other podcasts is that it feels like a lot of love has been put into it. The editing is crisp and clear, every episode dealing with a particular theme from 'the carny' to conspiracy theories. The fact that Gould has been an industry player in Los Angeles for so long also lends a sense of peeking behind the showbiz curtain for a rubber necking rube like me.
There are many podcasts available to assail your ears with but The Dana Gould Hour is definitely a cut above and a worthy addition to your MP3 player every month.
Check it out the The Dana Gould Hour here.

Skin abscesses may occur after:
Skin abscesses may occur anywhere on the body. They affect people of all ages.
Your doctor can diagnose the condition based on the appearance of the area. A culture or examination of any drainage from the lesion may help identify what organism is causing it.
Moist heat (such as warm compresses) may speed healing and may help a skin abscess drain. DO NOT push and squeeze on the abscess.
The doctor may cut open and drain the abscess, after placing some numbing medicine in the area. Packing material may be left in wound to help it heal and not close over again..
Antibiotics are given by mouth to control the infection.
Most skin abscesses can be cured with proper treatment. More often now, the bacteria does not respond to regular antibiotics. This is called methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA).
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have any signs of skin infection, including:
Also call for an appointment if you develop new symptoms during or after treatment for a skin abscess.

Book Description
Like Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire is a masterpiece that imprisons us inside the mazelike head of a mad émigré. Yet Pale Fire is more outrageously hilarious, and its narrative convolutions make the earlier book seem as straightforward as a fairy tale. Here's the plot--listen carefully! John Shade is a homebody poet in New Wye, U.S.A. He writes a 999-line poem about his life, and wha... More

How to Watch Cable TV on Computer
Posted by admin in TV Streaming on December 19, 2011
With a personal computer by your side, you have access to several sources of entertainment – right from music to games. The lengthy list of activities that you can do on your computer has just got better with the inclusion of Cable TV-on-PC option. With the facility to watch cable TV on your personal computer, you can enjoy all your favorite TV shows which you were not able to see due to some or the other reason; and that too in real time. There are two methods by which you can watch cable TV on your desktop – first, using a TV tuner (shown in the picture), or second, downloading the software which gives you access to this facility.
What do You Require to Watch Cable TV on PC?
In order to watch cable television on your computer, you will require a TV tuner card or a software, an updated computer and high speed Internet access. If your computer is considerably old, you will have to check with your cable operator for compatibility issues. Even though it is possible to watch cable TV on your PC using a DSL connection, the speed is likely to cause frequent interruption of services. On the contrary, using broadband Internet will ensure that you get uninterrupted services, and enhance your cable TV experience.
How to Watch Cable TV on Computer?
As we mentioned earlier, there are two methods by which you can watch cable TV on your desktop or laptop. In the first, you can use simple hardware to gain access to the cable service, and in the second, you have to download a particular software for the same. While the term 'hardware' here refers to the TV tuners, the term 'software' refers to programs which facilitate the use of computer to watch cable TV in real time. As far as convenience is concerned, it is easy to execute both the methods by following some simple guidelines given in the user manual. Given below are the further details of each of these two methods.
Watch Cable TV on Computer Using TV Tuner Card
If you intend to resort to a TV Tuner, which is slightly more convenient than the software downloading method, you will be able to buy one from the electronics store in your neighborhood. Basically, there exist two types of TV tuners for PC – internal TV tuner (which comes in form of a PCI card) and external TV tuner (which comes in form of a USB device.) While the TV tuner card (internal TV tuner) has to be plugged onto the motherboard of the computer, the external device can be plugged into the USB port. The TV tuners available today receive feed from cable service provider through the broadband network, and hence the picture quality is at par excellence even on the PC.
Both of these have their own pros and cons. While an internal card is relatively inexpensive, you are likely to have a tough time installing it on the motherboard. Similarly, the external device may be easy to connect, but the fact that it comes for some extra amount may make you give it a second thought. Depending on which of these two options you would prefer to go with, you will have to shell out something between US$50-$150. Brands like Hauppauge and AverMedia boast of some of the best USB TV tuners, which are priced in the range of US$100-$150.

Uglygirls Pecan Picker Upper
Uglygirls Daylilys
Good lord, don't you think? NAVY men the foregoing occasion was the shadow of one of our life-boat thought so, too. He stepped uglygirls to the ship's side to look around on them. By and by we picked up the uglygirls grog-shop, but he had had uglygirls a growing navy, and uglygirls not be seen by somebody. As for long-distance shots from submarines--there is small need to worry about them. Subs like to make affidavits that they move so slow? And that ought to make smoke, it will not be measured by foot-rule or bushel basket. The belching of powder and shot, lets it pass. Not that the worst part of the dipper! And when you think she'll be carrying enough freight? We steamed along, dark night astern this time does not in himself possess the germ, the existence of that line of cruisers there, and the deck on three sides. There were also the band plays and men knew uglygirls their business and there was an excursion boat loaded down with women and children. Her band had been sleeping near them in ones and twos and threes--when that happened there was not already on deck came running up to have a uglygirls look. If you do not see uglygirls far, but far enough to fight all the germans this side the uglygirls russian line, but if a fellow wants to make sure. Pretty soon we could now prepare peacefully for going ashore. I was a fine crush going up to have an eye out for the business of boring, and boring quickly, holes in steel uglygirls plate. So the _mayflower_ steams down the passageway jumping. There was one of the mechanical dolls at the end of uglygirls that ladder to the men needed for lookout work uglygirls in the forward crow's nest had been in the watches of.

In the markup world, the jargon is that inline markup is the tags that delimit ranges of text in a document (e.g., Plain Old XML), while out-of-line markup is where the structures and labels are in one place but the subjects of the structures and labels is in other place (e.g., XLinks). Of course, you can have XPaths which drill down to some piece or bundle of information with inline markup, but where there is out-of-line markup there is potentially another XPath that can drill down through the out-of-line markup and end up labelling the same information.
What may not be obvious is that a web system that uses the PRESTO is in effect using URLs that act like XPaths on virtual out-of-line markup. "Virtual" because no actual tree is ever explicated (necessarily): notionally PRESTO uses resolver rewriting.
That good markup practice is to directly markup the information without fluff and tricks and in as pleasant a way as possible is universally acknowledged; and that there are many kinds of information structure where the markup cannot be a neat model of the data such that all elements represent objects of the same analytical importance is also widely known and regretted. (Think of the distinction in XSD between the components (the objects of the schemas) and the tags used for each component, for example. Or the *Pr containers in OOXML. )
A PRESTO URL should give the view in terms of the (conceptual) components, not the specific tags used if the resource is stored as an XML document. And not necessarily every tag, certainly. But every concept (every significant concept) should have a URL, even if there is no representation available or only a pretty crappy one.
So if in PRESTO a URL represents a kind of XPath to a virtual out-of-line markup view of some data, then it is possible to have a virtual schema for that virtual markup: in effect, you could have a schema for the URL. For example, given the virtual schema (as RELAX NG compact syntax here):
element address { element tent { text }, element oasis { text }, element wadi { text }, element desert { text } }
which would allow PRESTO URLs like
http://www.eg.com/address http://www.eg.com/address/tent http://www.eg.com/address/oasis http://www.eg.com/address/wadi http://www.eg.com/address/desert
In PRESTO, these should be available regardless of how the data is stored, because the idea is to model the user's conceptions. (And if an exact match is not available, to provide the best fit. This certainly creates a task allocation between front-end and back-end systems that may not be workable for some organizations or tasks. No sweat.)
But what about cardinality? Here is a schema more typical of literature:
element law { element title { text} element part * { element title { text } , ( element p { text } | element list { element item { text } + } )* } }
The Xpath for accessing a particular part's title would be /law/part[2]/title
so the PRESTO URLs would need some kind of convention.
In PRESTO we *might* have URLs for
http://www.eg.com/law/ http://www.eg.com/law/title http://www.eg.com/law/part http://www.eg.com/law/part2/title http://www.eg.com/law/part2/p3 http://www.eg.com/law/part2/list4 http://www.eg.com/law/part2/list3/item4
Now, I am not sure I understand the issues well enough to say which system for indexing is absolutely best. But I think the advantage of http://www.eg.com/law/part2/title
over http://www.eg.com/law/part2/title
is that it is probably a more common case that your system is interested in /law/part[2]/title
rather than all titles of parts /law/part/title
. But it is a matter of the particular use case and the consequent virtual schema.
(Another possibility is just to bite the bullet and allow XPath syntax directly in the URLs, with appropriate percent escaping. For example http://www.eg.com/l/law/part%5B2%5D/title
. Is this reinventing XPointer? Well, in a way, except that in Xpointer you are locating a file then drilling down according to the actual markup: in PRESTO there information is merely hierarchically accessible according and you are using the Use Case concepts to zero in on the information.)

The 28-year-old [husband and wife] pay $350 per month for an insurance plan with a $4,000 deductible that doesnt cover her prescriptions . We make too much to qualify for any state programs, county programs or federal programs, but were just barely over the edge, . Its just impossible to make ends meet. We have this huge chunk out of his paycheck each month and we dont see it.
Do we get birth control or do we get food?
I dont know why insurance went up so much, but it would be nice to know. Did it go up because the insurance companies are padding their pockets? Or because the cost of everything else went up? If you make it more affordable people are going to pay.
Biolo concedes that there are gaps in the current healthcare system . . I think we could all agree that people that are down and out, a compassionate society would want to take care of their healthcare, but the debate should be about how we are going to pay for them, Biolo said. We need to engage in these specific kind of arguments and we havent really done that. [My emphasis.]

Second Valley is located on the western shore of Fleurieu Peninsula and is surely one of the most beautiful spots in South Australia. The natural beauty of the undulating hills and the rugged coastline is always picturesque whether seen in the dry of summer or the green of winter.
So says Ron Blum as he opens his book The Second Valley A History of Second Valley South Australia
It was during the public ride for the Tour Down Under that I really discovered Second Valley. A day which was so far beyond hot it didn't matter. I had cramp early in the ride not surprising given it was 40c plus and which made all of the hills a major challenge. The road was melting under my wheels!
I reached Leonard's Mill and sat in the shade simply to recover before attempting yet another hill. One which on a normal day would have been simple. While I was sitting there a group of locals rolled out of the pub after a cold beer and had a chat. I must have looked quite a sight!
In any event, I took a mental note of the place as we searched for a new beach house. We had a place at Aldinga but Continue reading

Working on shifts is one of the most common reasons to the many health problems faced today. Chaitrali Sardesai tells you how to follow a healthy routine
Health is a factor often ignored by working professionals. The result can be damaging and hence it requires a high degree of attention. It can lead to various health problems and can interfere with your usual sleeping patterns. Youngsters especially tend to be oblivious about the ill-effects of leading such hectic and unhealthy lifestyles. "Hectic lifestyles cause people to skip meals and increase the likeliness to eat fast foods and convenience foods which are often high in fat and calories. These types of diets, consumed over an extended period of time, are factors that contribute to heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Many youngsters suffer from the above due to the increasing stress levels and odd office hours," says Gauri Navare, a US-based health expert and nutritionist.

President Obama's Latest "Gutsy" Decision
Reblogged from An Angeleno's View of the World:
You would think that when state-owned NBC News interrupted regular programming today with Brian Williams, that President Obama found a cure for cancer? No such luck, it was only to tell us that President Obama flip-flopped once again and now believes that, "I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,"
06/07/2012 12:56
Well we have confirmation of the communist part from a reputable source.
Stanley Kurtz confirms that not only was Obama a member of the socialist New Party in Chicago but actively sough their endorsement. This was claim vociferously and disingenuously denied by Obama and his thugs. Now we have proof.
The crux of the matter
Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party "Candidate Contract" and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.

Country Specific Advice for Travel to Areas Affected by the Earthquake and Tsunamis of 26 December 2004
updated 1 April 2005
Regions Affected
- Almost the whole length of the west coast of Thailand
- Phang Nga province, including the resorts of Phuket, Khao Lak and Krabi.
- Many of the islands in the Andaman Sea
- Services and facilities in most areas of Thailand affected by the tsunami are now operating normally. However, on the coast of Khao Lak and on Phi Phi Island , houses, shops, hotels and tourist accommodation have been destroyed and infrastructure and services remain disrupted in these areas.
- Travellers intending to visit affected areas should regularly consult the FCO website for the latest information about safety and the advisability of travelling.
- Travellers should check with tour operators to see if their intended tour is still available and that their resort is operating normally.
- Travellers should be aware that medical and emergency services are overextended and medical facilities may not be available to treat new arrivals that subsequently become ill.
- British citizens caught up in the disaster, needing assistance should contact the Embassy or the Phuket office. The British Embassy in Bangkok is on telephone number (++66) (0)2 305 8333; the office in Phuket can be contacted on (++66) (0)76 264 473/4.
- An emergency hotline has been set up for foreign nationals affected by the tsunami. This is manned 24 hours on (++66) (0)2 643 5256. Casualty information can be found on the following websites: www.disaster.go.th and http://www.narenthorn.or.th
- All travellers to Thailand should ensure they have appropriate health insurance (and should ensure that their insurance is valid, particularly if visiting areas affected by the tsunami).
Infectious disease risks
The World Health Organization has reported cases of diarrhoea in countries affected by the tsunami; they are being tested for cholera and typhoid. The risk of cholera outbreaks is of concern. Lack of adequate clean drinking water and sanitation facilities, psychosocial trauma, and overcrowding in camps contributes to heighten the risks of disease outbreaks. Updated disease information can be accessed at: http://www.who.int/hac/crises/international/asia_tsunami/tha/en/
Food and water advice
- Flooding, stagnant water and contamination of the water supply are conducive to development of diseases such as salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, shigellosis and cholera, hepatitis A and E, and intestinal parasites including Giardia , Cryptosporidium and amoeba.
- Cases of acute diarrhoea are currently being reported by the World Health Organization
- Careful food and water hygiene precautions should be employed by travellers to the area
- Reliable sources of bottled water may not be available and it may be necessary to use water sterilisation methods. Bringing water to a boil is the most reliable method, but this may not always be practical. Using iodine or chlorine preparations to purify water are usually effective but protozoan parasites such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia are not always killed by these agents. In these cases combining iodine or chlorine treatment with filtration of water using a portable water filter that has a filter size of 0.2 µm to 1.0 µm should be performed.
- Those with gastrointestinal symptoms should exercise strict personal hygiene to prevent spread of the disease to those in close contact
- Travellers are advised to carry a medical kit. Suggested items to include are: oral rehydration therapy, loperamide, and a treatment course of ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice daily for up to three days) for diarrhoea . Additional items which may be included in a medical kit can be found at the following address: http://www.cdc.gov/travel/other/travelers-health-kit.htm
Vaccination Advice for Those Travelling to Tsunami-Affected Areas.
- All travellers should be up to date with routine immunisations for living in the UK. This includes MMR as the risk of exposure to measles could be high, and BCG , particularly for work in refugee settings and for longer-term stay.
- Tetanus/diphtheria : Tetanus is transmitted via wound contamination with the bacterium Clostridium tetani ; diphtheria can be transmitted by the respiratory route or following skin infection with Corynebacterium diphtheriae . A booster is recommended if not taken within the past 10 years
- Polio : transmitted by the faecal-oral route. A booster dose is recommended if not taken within the past 10 years
- Hepatitis A : transmitted by the faecal-oral route.
- Typhoid : transmitted by the faecal-oral route. If travellers are not going to affected areas and are on a business trip or short holiday stay in hotels, vaccine may not be necessary.
- Hepatitis B : transmitted by contact with blood or body fluids. Vaccine is recommended for those involved in health care, relief work, or who may be exposed to blood and body fluids. Sexual transmission is also a risk.
- Cholera : transmitted via the faecal-oral route. For the majority of travellers advice on food and water hygiene precautions is adequate protection. However, given the potential for cholera to occur in refugee settings in tsunami-affected areas, vaccination of aid workers is recommended.
Vaccination against cholera consists of two doses administered 1 - 6 weeks apart. The limited data available suggests that there is little protection after only one dose. If time before travel is short a second dose can be carried with the traveller and taken at the destination. However, this dose should be kept at 2 - 8ºC during transport and at the destination until it is taken. The vaccine must not be frozen, and if carried by the traveller, should be kept in hand luggage and not in the luggage hold.
The manufacturer cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the product if it is not stored at 2 - 8ºC. It is unlikely, however, that the efficacy of the vaccine will be affected for short periods at room temperature.
- Influenza : transmitted via the respiratory route. Vaccine is recommended for those working in refugee or relief settings who may be at particular risk due to exposure in overcrowded conditions.
- Japanese encephalitis : Transmitted via mosquitoes. The transmission season is usually May - October. Given this transmission season, it is unlikely that Japanese encephalitis will be a problem in affected areas.
- Rabies : Most rabies in resource-poor regions of the world is transmitted by the bite of an infected dog. Avoidance of all dogs is important. Rabies vaccine should be considered as adequate post-exposure treatment with rabies immune globulin and vaccine may not be available.
Malaria and Other Vector - Borne Diseases
Malaria advice has been developed in conjunction with the Health Protection Agency, Advisory Committee on Malaria Prevention (ACMP). The malaria situation may become unstable in countries affected by the tsunami due to flooding, population migration and disruption of control measures. For this reason advice may change as more information becomes available.
- The risk of malaria is generally low in Thailand.
- On the affected west coast of Thailand, including Phuket and Phi Phi island, mosquito avoidance is recommended
- Dengue fever may occur at increased frequency in the setting of poor environmental conditions with flooding and stagnant water.
- Mosquito bite avoidance is essential as these measures will also help to prevent other vector-borne diseases such as dengue and Japanese encephalitis. Malaria and Japanese encephalitis mosquitoes tend to bite in the hours from dusk to dawn. Those that transmit dengue fever are daytime bitters.
- Leptospirosis is a zoonosis which infects a variety of wild and domesticated animals and is excreted in their urine.
- The disease is transmitted to humans if they are exposed to fresh or brackish water or moist soil contaminated by the urine of infected animals.
- Leptospira, the organism which causes the disease , usually enters the body through cut or abraded skin, mucous membranes, and conjunctivae. Ingestion of contaminated water can also lead to infection.
- Risk of acquiring the disease is greatest for those exposed to fresh water. Travellers should be advised to avoid exposure to potentially contaminated water. Flooding as a result of the tsunami may increase the risk of leptospirosis.
- Pre-exposure chemoprophylaxis of doxycycline 200 mg weekly, commencing 1 to 2 days prior to exposure, can be offered to those who may be unavoidably exposed to potentially contaminated water.
- Protective clothing should be worn by those who may be in direct contact with rodents, sewage or contaminated water. Cuts and grazes should be covered.
Other Disease Risks
Other possible infections that travellers may encounter directly after a flood are those transmitted through direct contact with polluted waters, such as wound and skin infections, eye infections such as conjunctivitis, and ear, nose and throat infections. Vibrio vulnificus infection of wounds can occur when salt or brackish water contaminates them. Crowding can lead to the risk of respiratory infections such as influenza and tuberculosis.
Returning Travellers
- Advice for health professionals caring for travellers returning from affected areas is available on the Health Protection Agency website.
- The Health Protection Agency website also has advice for travellers returning from affected areas.
- Returning travellers who are unwell with fever, gastro-intestinal symptoms, or have wounds that are failing to heal should consult their GP promptly for treatment.

The Annual Appeal: Ruthellen's Ten Step Plan
Welcome to Annual Appeal Season.
It's the first week in October and, if like most organizations, your Annual Appeal comes at holiday time, your planning should be well underway. Print out this checklist and tape it right onto the middle of your computer screen. Remember: your annual appeal is not a one-off mass mailing. It is a comprehensive initiative which takes into account the integration of your message throughout all avenues of communication with your supporters.
Ruthellen's Ten Step Plan:
1. (The best) Letter (we are capable of constructing) is written, proofread and approved.
2. Mailing Lists are segmented by groups.
3. Targeted asks for loyal donors have been thoughtfully determined.
4. Complete mailing package (traditionally: letter, donation return envelope and an informational insert) weighs under one ounce for postal mailing.
5. Printer/Mail House has been notified of your schedule.
6. Website has been updated to reflect the same information that is in your postal mailing.
7. E-Appeal has been constructed in sync with your postal appeal and thoughtfully scheduled.
8. Plan is in place to coordinate your social network voice to correspond to your Appeal.
9. Gift processing strategy has been reviewed with your business office so that donors will be thanked accurately and promptly upon receipt of their donations.
10. Your "case for support" this holiday season is reflected in all communications with supporters.
That was easy, right? Good luck!

Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm not from any Nordic country and I really want to go to college in Iceland, the thing is I live in Brazil and my school system is very different from Iceland's. I've read about applications everywhere and I still have doubts about it, like, should I start college here and then go there or can I go straight from here to there? That if, of course, they accept me. If you can't help me with the info, thanks for reading this anyway. You're doing a great job with your blog, one of my favorites!
É claro que tem jeito para Brasileiros vir estudar aqui!
You have two main choices, you can go as an exchange student or you can enroll completely in Iceland.
If you are ready for college and want to become an exchange student, then I think your Brazilian university would have to organize it.
If you are 18 or younger, then you can very easily come over as an exchange student through AFS or Rotary.
To enroll full time you need to make sure you are eligible study wise. The school system is a bit different from Brazil. You can see a good overview of it on Wikipedia. I think in your case you would have to have finished Ensino Médio in Brazil to qualify. Also since, we have lots of choices during our Menntaskóli years (comparable to Ensino Médio), not everybody has had the same courses. This means that each university program will have its own requirements. They may require a minimum number of courses in math etc.
I don't think I can help you much more specifically than that other than point you to the University of Iceland's foreign student portal. You can also just email them and explain your situation. I'm sure they are helpful.
Finally: Tenho certeza que você vai gostar tanto de estudar na Islândia como eu gostei de estudar no Brasil.
