Volkswagen has ended months of speculation by confirming its participation in the World Rally Championship at a press conference in Sardinia this afternoon.
As expected, Volkswagen will base its first ever World Rally Car on the Polo, with the car competing for the first time in 2013. The car was revealed at a packed harbor-side launch in Olbia.
Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg (member of the board of management of Volkswagen brand) said: "In the past, we celebrated our sporting success in the desert, in 2009 first manufacturer to win [Dakar]with diesel engine. But to the future, we have invited you to enter into the World Rally Championship in 2013. The Polo WRC will compete for the first time in 2013 and we look forward to competing again WRC competitors Citroen, Mini and Ford."
There was no news on drivers at the launch, although VW Motorsport director Kris Nissen indicated two-time WRC champ Carlos Sainz, who has raced for VW at the Dkar Rally, will remain part of the program (see separate story).
Hackenberg continued: "There is almost 20 months between now and our first competition and we will find the drivers who can be in contention for first place. Now we must prepare for the task ahead. There is a lot to be done. We look forward to racing on four continents."

For the past 15hrs or so there is a problem with the ECN demo server. I have 2 open trades. The price has gone way past the t/p. The trades are still open. I cannot even close the trades manually.
I tried doing a fresh install of the ECN demo in a completely different folder but the same problem persists.
Furthermore, it's not even possible to create a new demo account.
So there is clearly some problem with the ECN Demo server.
Not sure if you are already aware of it and are working on it.
Would appreciate your feedback.

EngadgetHD: The wizened ones at THX have added yet another reason to actually spend some time calibrating your TV — energy savings.
Videophiles have long known that moving out of "torch mode" is good for the electric bill, but we're hoping that putting the THX logo behind the message will help move better picture quality to the mainstream. Y
ou know, because not everyone knows that TVs aren't supposed to pull double duty as tanning lamps and space heaters. For those people, maybe the 15 – 50-percent energy savings will get them to check out the THX calibration screens.
Yearly electricity savings of about $50 (€35) aren't enough to offset a professional calibration, but if you're going to spend $1,000 (€699) on a TV, it's just silly to not spend 15-minutes to get things dialed in better than the out of the box settings.

Modernizing public financial management. | |||||||||||||
News & Events |
Press Releases Is there a faster way to achieve government Shared Services savings?GRP technology most cost-effective option for government financial Shared Services Ottawa, Canada (October 18, 2011) – FreeBalance, a Canadian software company that helps governments around the world to leverage robust Government Resource Planning (GRP) technology to accelerate growth, will share a 21st Century vision for achieving the promise of shared services in Canada at the GTEC 2011 conference, October 18-19, 2011 at the Ottawa Convention Centre (booth #213). Many governments have implemented hosted shared services to support more efficient and effective service delivery. Yet, hosted shared services for financial and human resources in government have had disappointing results. Expected savings have not materialized. Standardization has been difficult to achieve. "Process standardization with sufficient flexibility to support departmental mandates is the key requirement for shared services. Standardization reduces cost for training, support and upgrading software," said Manuel Pietra, President & CEO of FreeBalance. "Yet, standardization can introduce inefficiencies. This can make the standardization exercise difficult and expensive for governments. Government Resource Planning technology overcomes the standardization problem through configuration and provides a viable option to governments looking to accelerate speed to savings." The FreeBalance Accountability Suite Version 7 was designed specifically to support hosted shared services in government. The FreeBalance approach differs from traditional methods of deploying finance and human resources software in the following ways:
The FreeBalance Accountability Suite is web-based and has been optimized for rapid government deployment, operational effectiveness and performance. FreeBalance technology supports Web Services standards that enable departments and agencies to integrate with existing ERP, HR, and other government information systems. The FreeBalance Accountability Suite is used as a whole-of-government solution through centralized and decentralized shared services in governments around the world. Software solutions from FreeBalance are being used in 19 countries, including Antigua & Barbuda, Afghanistan, Canada, Iraq, Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Mongolia, Namibia, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Southern Sudan, Timor-Leste, and Uganda among others. FreeBalance software manages more than a quarter trillion ($US) annual budgets worldwide. About FreeBalance FreeBalance software has also been implemented in 19 other countries around the world, including Antigua & Barbuda, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Mongolia, Namibia, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Southern Sudan, Timor-Leste, and Uganda. FreeBalance software manages more than a quarter trillion ($US) annual budgets worldwide. For more information, visit www.freebalance.com. ### |

I found this story in another site. Good story about foot fetish
When I was 18 years old I experienced my very first (realistic) foot fetish experience;
One day I was going to the movies with two of my friends who are both girls, Morgan and Caitlyn. Morgan's boyfriend was going to the movies too, but me and caitlyn were just friends this wasn't a date or anything.
Once we bought our tickets and such we went in to sit down, I was the last person in and I decided to be 'funny' and sit in the row infront of Caitlyn she moved up and sat beside me, but Morgan and her boyfriend stayed at the very back, I decided to move up another seat leaving Caitlyn behind me, she sighed and placed her feet on the back of my chair while watching the screen for the movie to start.
I'm not the kind of guy to do shit to girls feet when a lot of people are watching but neither of them knew about my foot fetish at the time so joking I pretended to lick her shoes, she was wearing size 8 purple circa hightops, they were still went and had snow on them from outside not too much but just enough to turn me on. I continued to pretend to lick her shoes to see what she would do, and she just laughed at me, the lights started to dim showing that the movie was about to start so I turned around to look at the screen for a while. Morgan and her boyfriend were busy making out and there wern't very many people in the room, we were the only kids sitting in the last 3 rows.
I pushed my head backwords to check if her feet were still on my chair, my head hit her feet and she laughed quietly, I slowly turned around to look at her shoes, I could smell them perfectly; wet rubber and looking at the bottoms of them it was teasing me not to lick them. After awhile passed I decided I was going to try and lick them it was killing me I had to try, I slowly turned my head ducking down so she couldn't see (because of how the seats are set up its hard to see the person infront of you, espessially when you have your sexy feet in the way!) I stuck my tounge out lifting my head slowly until my tounge touched the treds of her still wet circa's, my penis' instanly started to get hard, it tasted like salt from the roads I was loving every second, I began to repeatedly lick her shoe but slowly so she couldn't see me doing so. After awhile I was rock hard and I knew as soon as the movie was over we were going back to Morgans house.
As soon as the movie was over we walked outside and it was snowing lightly we decided to mess around while we waited for morgans mom, so me and Caitlyn would run and slide on the snow (Every time she did it more and more built up on her shoes) I couldn't help it but watch her shoes it was so damn hot! after I was sure her shoes would taste amazing I started to walk back to Morgan to continue to wait for her mom, once she arrived we all got in (Morgan, Caitlyn, Morgans boyfriend and myself) and drove to Morgans house, the whole way there I was staring at Caitlyn's wet shoes wondering what they smell like and how they taste (even after licking her shoes for almost an hour stright) I knew I was going to take her shoes and lick and smell them at Morgan's house.
When we finally arrived at Morgans house Caitlyn got out stepping in a pile of snow, the snow went inside her shoe because of how loose she wore them and they were hightops, I was thrilled hoping she would just leave the little bit the managed to get in, she did as she walked up onto the deck and into the house, slowly sliding her size 8 circa's off her cold now wet ankle-sock feet.
As soon as I noticed everyone was downstairs and Morgans mother was in the kitchen I ran upstairs to grab Caitlyns shoes, running back down stairs running into the bathroom and locking the door with out even alerting anyone, I layed down on the floor with out any hesitation and grabbed her left shoe, which was wet to the touch. I pressed the mouth of the shoe firmly against my nose taking in a huge sniff of her wet, foul smelling size 8 shoes, my penis wriggled in my jeans I continued to smell her shoes slowly to savor the smell, but this wasn't enough it wasn't satisfying me I wanted her to step on me so badly, I knew if I asked her should would laugh, so with her shoe pressing the tred against my face pushing hard to make it feel like it was her slowly squishing me, but what I didn't know is there were tiny rocks stuck to the bottom of her shoes that transferd over to my face. I wasn't done with the shoes but I knew I had to go back out so they didn't come looking for me, I placed the two shoes in a cabinent under the sink, getting up I unlocked the door and walked out and the first person I see is Caitlyn, she is now barefoot, standing infront me me looking at me, she begins to talk and asks "What's on your face?". My heart skipped a beat I couldn't tell her what I had just done she would think I was so creepy, I told her I went outside and must have got some water on my face. She said "Ohkay" and walked back into the room with Morgan and her boyfriend.
Since Caitlyn had taken her socks off I had to go look for them, the first spot I checked was the heater, and BINGO there they were, I gentally picked them up making sure noone could see me, slowly I picked them up, they were soaked, I held them above me head opening my mouth squeezing all the water out of her socks, holding it in my mouth for a moment to remember the taste of linte and dirt mixed with lots of water. After I was satisfyed with 'drinking' her socks I needed to smell them, I raised them to my face with out looking around taking in a huge sniff as Caitlyn walks around the corner asking "Did you see my shoes?", I didnt know what to do, she stood there and looked at me for a moment, then asked "What are you doing?" I was stilled stunned I didn't want her to find out yet, this was all going so well until that moment. I finally told her to follow me and that I would explain.
I lead her into the bathroom with her shoes in it locking the door behind us, she sat on the tub and asked for her socks back, I'm sure I was blushing at this point as I handed her both of her socks. She slowly sliped them over her feet as they stoped at her ankles, they were white with a blue stripe and a blue toe, they looked amazing on her sexy size 8 feet. She looked up at me and said "Well, are you going to tell me why your sniffing my socks?" I looked at her and I knew I had to tell her, I told her about my foot fetish, at first she didn't even know what it was until I explained it to her, after I explained it she asked me if I knew where her shoes were, I said "Maybe, If I tell you where they are will you do something?" she looked at me with an unsure expresion on her face and plainly said "What..", I looked her in the eye and said "This is between me and you, but since you know about my little fetish will you.."
She cut me off and said "I don't know this all seems kind of strange." I explained to her to try and defend it "You might get used to it". She tought about it for a moment before asking "What do you want me to do?" I smiled looking at her taking a deep breath saying "I want you to walk on me". She looked at me with the most weirded out look but got up to her feet and said "I guess I will once or twice", I smiled sighing of releif, as I turned around opening the cabinet revealing her still wet circas, I still hadn't licked them at all besides at the movies, which she still wasn't aware of. She walked over to me extending her foot slightly towards me as she spoke "You can put it on for me if you want" laughing a little.
I picked up her left shoe looking at her then back at her still raised foot, holding her foot in one hand and the shoe in the other I slipped her loose shoe over her foot, I was suprised at how loose she actually wore her shoes, I did the same to the other foot turning to lay down on the floor infront of her. She sighed as she walked infront of me, her shoes about an inch away from my face, she asked "Can we start off with something else just for now?" as I looked up at her I nodded asking "Would you care if I licked your uhh.. shoes?", she chuckled and slided her foot even closer to my face, lifting the toe but keeping her heel on the ground to angle it revealing the treds, I stopped looking at her, I was pretty embarrasd when I started to lower my head towards her now ready shoe, I lowered my head until my lips could reach her shoe, I slowly start to kiss the toe of her still wet shoe as I negotiated my way into licking the bottoms.
I slowly extended my tounge licking the bottom of her shoe as she lifted her foot, I looked up at her and thought "Great she thinks its weird" but to my suprise she moved it forward to my back gentally placing it on my white T-shirt as she lifted her other foot I felt her full weight, which wasnt much she was very light, but it felt amazing, my penis was still rock hard and she continued to walk up and down me slowly, she did this for almost five minutes, until she finally stepped off of me looking at me, "I need to go back out with Morgan but you can lick my shoes clean or what ever if you like?" I looked at her as she slipped her shoes off pushing them both infront of my face, while as she pushed them she teased me by putting her damp sock foot against my face as she turned around to walk out, shutting the door behind her.
I licked her shoes for tweenty minutes before she eventually came back in looking at me with a pathedic look. "Fuck.. your obsessed with them.." I let a fake laugh out as I looked at her wanted her to dominate me under her amazing feet again. I wanted to ask her so much more but I didn't want to rush her, she slipped her shoes on her feet walking out the door, I got up and followed her, her mom was here so she had to leave, after she left while she was driving home she sent me a text message saying "So, whenever my shoes get dirty will you lick them clean for me (;"

To: Heads Up – Vancouver and Okanagan
From: Lisa Castle, AVP, Human Resources
Cc: HR Advisors & Associates
Re: Bargaining Bulletin #3 – Collective Bargaining – 2010
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with an update on developments in collective bargaining at UBC. An overview of collective bargaining and the descriptions of the bargaining units were outlined in Bargaining Bulletin #1 (available at http://www.hr.ubc.ca/collective-bargaining/).
Bargaining sessions continue with the UBC Faculty Association. There are several dates scheduled between now and the beginning of July.
AAPS and the University exchanged proposals on June 1st. The parties have met three times, and are meeting again today. Other dates are scheduled for this month. The discussions between the bargaining teams have been cordial, open and forthright.
We are advised that the other staff groups at the Vancouver campus wish to commence bargaining in the early fall. This is a bit concerning as some of the agreements expired at the end of March and April, and several months will have elapsed in the two-year term provided by the Provincial Government's Mandate 2010 (http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/psec/bargaining2010/).
However, we will work towards this timetable. We hope to get started with the BCGEU at the Okanagan campus in late summer, as their agreement expires at the end of this month.
Thank you for your interest. We will keep you apprised of developments as they occur.

Robert Parker Pans 2007 Bordeaux Vintage
Bordeaux chateaux are starting to release their prices for the 2007 vintage but there is already bad news. The emperor of wine, famed wine critic Robert Parker has slammed the latest vintage handing out low scores and branding the vintage as overpriced. Wine buyers often look to Parker's scores to see if they should buy wine futures which are sold two years before a vintage's release. In his vintage review titled "2007 Bordeaux: Who Will Buy Them and at What Price?" he has basically told buyers not to bother unless prices are lowered dramatically.
The news is devastating for some Bordeaux producers for whom Parker's scores may mean less sales. Certainly his advice carries considerable weight and may influence wine dealers not to purchase simply because they are afraid they won't be able to sell to wine collectors in the long run. Should any one man have this much power?
Parker gave only three of his coveted 100 point scores this year and all three were for whites, Chateau Pape Clement white and Haut-Brion, were both marked 96-100, and Chateau Climens, a sweet white tasted by Parker's British sidekick Neal Martin, got 98-100. Even Bordeaux's top five, first growth wines didn't even hit 95 with Chateau Margaux earning a 92-94, Chateau Haut-Brion a 91-94, and Mouton-Rothschild a 90-94. Chateau Lafite and Chateau Latour both got a 90-93.

Did you miss me?
Colorado was stunning and, yes, Julia convinced this Texas girl to relocate, at least half-time.
Y'all, I snowmobiled! It rocked so hard. I went 80 mph and zoomed. :D :D
I played and laughed and sat in the hot springs pool while snow fell.
The idea of packing up the house makes me want to throw up a little bit, but yeah.
I loved it. :D

Motley holds cards on UMass campus plans
He is "still in a discovery mode" when it comes to the campus strategic plan for the future, UMass-Boston's Keith Motley said, and that includes dorms.
Appointed as UMass-Boston's chancellor in June, Motley takes over the campus as Boston's only public university seeks to compete with its private counterparts, raising enrollment to 15,000 from 12,000 over the next few years.
The campus is also struggling with an estimated $600 million in deferred maintenance costs, along with a two-level substructure that had previously served as a parking garage. Read more
Motley picks second in command
In the first big hire of his new administration, UMass-Boston Chancellor Keith Motley tapped a twelve-year campus veteran this week for his chief of staff.
Christopher Hogan, who lives in Lynn with his wife and three children, has served as the university's associate vice chancellor for athletics, recreation and special projects and programs since 2005.
He also served as the chancellor's special assistant when Motley had the job on the interim and as assistant vice chancellor of student affairs when Motley headed the division under then-Chancellor Jo Ann Gora. Read more
GoKids facility at UMass blends research and fun
Jul. 25, 2007
At first glance, the new GoKids Boston space at UMass-Boston looks like any other fitness facility. It's equipped with all the things one would expect to find in a gym; there's stationary bikes and Nautilus equipment. But set beyond the weights and cardio machines is the Sportwall, a floor-to-ceiling display of flashing yellow lights that allows children to compete in a wide variety of team and one-on-one games involving running and throwing.

Bayside outlines plans at meeting
Corcoran Jennison Companies hosted the first public meeting for residents last week to discuss plans to redevelop nearly 30 acres of land on Columbia Point into a mixed-use retail and residential project that could represent a $1 billion investment.
The site is currently home to the Bayside Expo Center, a conference facility whose business has been impacted drastically since last summer, when a change in state law allowed the new Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in South Boston to host the regional trade shows that provided Bayside with its most lucrative clients.

Bayside execs envision massive transformation on Columbia Point
A new mix of residential, commercial and open space would replace the box-shaped confines of Bayside Expo Center under a conceptual plan discussed today by executives from Corcoran Jennison Companies, owners of the waterfront land in Columbia Point.
Corcoran Jennison Companies has unveiled a concept to completely redevelop 21.5 acres of property on Columbia Point as a mixed use residential and retail destination at a cost that could approach $1 billion. Read more
Motley likely to put own stamp on UMass-Boston campus life
May. 22, 2007
Call it a do-over of sorts. Echoing a similar scene from nearly three years ago, Keith Motley last week returned to UMass-Boston to once again assume the chancellorship while surrounded by family and several of his mentors. This time, it's said to be permanent. Read more
Collins to depart, Motley take helm at UMass-Boston
May. 15, 2007
Dr. Michael F. Collins will leave his post as chancellor of UMass-Boston this summer to become the interim chancellor of the UMass Medical School in Worcester. Collins, who has led the Dorchester campus for less than two years, will be replaced by Dr. J. Keith Motley, a UMass vice-president who served as UMass-Boston's interim chancellor prior to Collins's appointment. Read more
Dorm notion draws heat at UMass session
Neighborhood activists strongly opposed to the construction of dormitories at UMass-Boston spoke out publicly in front of university administrators on Tuesday evening as the school moves slowly toward formulating the master plan that will dictate its structural and agenda progress for years to come.
"I'll meet you on middle ground when you can prove to me that dorms would have no impact on [Dorchester] cops or city services," said Tom Gannon, president of the Fields Corner Civic Association. Read more
Dorms take backseat to other growth in UMass presentation
UMass-Boston is more than halfway through its 'strategic' planning process, but with a progress report due at the end of this month, officials had little concrete information to present at a community forum Tuesday evening.
Several university officials reviewed the structure of the strategic and master planning initiatives for an audience that included a high percentage of Dorchester's more well-known neighborhood activists and representatives for many local elected officials. Read more

I don't follow the rules. The world is filled with repetitive content already. I'm just trying to do what I love for a living: make music for the sake of making music. I'm not trying to add on a piece to something that already exists. I'm starting an entirely different puzzle.
My mind is always on edge, and everything I do revolves around music. Nitroglitch is nothing more than a word that describes the strange phenomenon in my head. Everything I see and hear evolves into something bizarre and twisted. I cannot read music, and everything you hear is content designed by pure luck. My music could be called Electronica/EDM, simply because I make all of it on a computer. It is, however, something unique…
I'm 22, and North Carolina has been my home for the majority of my life. I have a passion for anything involving Fantasy or Science Fiction, and the unknown things in the universe inspire my tracks. A lifetime of Anime and Video Games caused me to insert vocal battle clips (alien/robot effects[my own voice]) into a lot of my tracks. I use FL Studio and Virtual DJ to make my music, and I always make sure to create original sounds and clips, so that I do not copy the content of others. My computer (2006 Windows Vista…it's a piece of junk) is my only instrument, and I really want some professional equipment, so that I can actually play live shows. That has always been one of my dreams in life.
As I said before, my music wasn't designed to fit any specific genre. It's music that holds its own ground, and can hopefully inspire future generations. Anyone who wants to ask questions or possibly collaborate, use the email provided below. Thanks for listening!

In the absence of a dynamic political movement with democratic values, the electorate can use magnificent institutions to make inhumane decisions.
Towards a Democratic Left
The election was bad but the Wednesday-morning quarterbacking was worse. John Kerry should have had a program, defined himself, stayed off the slopes, counterattacked, embraced his base, denounced the war. The Democratic Party needed to rediscover the black vote, tell gays to chill, nominate Howard Dean.Locating culpability won't change things, however — you can't sue history. Besides, Kerry, despite his flaws, was a decent and honorable candidate and in normal times would have likely won. The problem is that we do not live in normal times and might not again for a long time.
Instead, we've fallen down a black hole of cynicism and can't get up, our political language is drenched with sneering innuendo that turns every act of good will on its head and challenges the most self-evident facts. Kerry is a war hero? You mean, Kerrysays he's a war hero. The Democrats support the war on terror? No, the Democrats "support" the war on terror.This Pravda-ization of news and analysis is a powerful weapon, and the Republican Party owns it — along with all three branches of government.
Ah, the GOP. The party of Lincolns (and Cadillacs), blog cabins and snake handlers. There is some silver lining in the party's dark triumph — the more victorious it is, the sooner it might split and collapse into its constituent factions of far right, center far right and extreme far right. And at least individual Republicans have been much more critical of the war, the looting of the treasury and the ignored warnings about al Qaeda than the Democratic Party as a whole. The sad thing is that for four years we're going to have to look to a few maverick conservatives to lead congressional dissent.
There are already sketchy ideas diagramming how the Democrats can come back in 2008, but the party will be sunk in Pearl Harbor before they've even started their engines unless they figure out how to brush off and bounce back the Republican insinuation campaigns. One 2008 scenario, for example, envisions a Hillary-Barack ticket, but you can already imagine the Republican strategy for peeling off the two senators' base supporters, women and minorities: Hillary Clinton says she doesn't believe in witchcraft, but then why is she for teenage abortion?Or, "Obama"— it rhymes with "Osama." Why won't he change his name— aren't American names good enough for him?
It's conventional wisdom, so to speak, to say that senators never get elected president and that the Democrats must now return to nominating governors from swing or Southern states — harmless, unworldly centrists beloved by their states' voters. But November's election has shown that the electorate is moved far less by personalities (a majority of polled Americans disapproved of Bush and the job he's doing) than by ideas — or rather, emotions. That is why the party must identify and address the hopes and fears of Americans — not to demagogically twist them into votes, but to fire "the base" into believing their party means something and has the will to represent it. When Americans think a candidate or a party believes in something, they believe in that party — and on Election Day don't require a college volunteer to drive them to the polls.
Commenting on the Democrats' loss 37 years ago, also suffered during wartime, the political scientist Michael Harrington predicted that when the new Republican president and his conservative Congress ended their terms, the war would be over but "the United States is likely to have more problems than now, more racism, more urban deterioration." Harrington saw in that fact opportunities for a new democratic left. Instead, the party got Jimmy Carter, one of those benign Southern governors. The Democrats have four years to figure out if they want what Harrington described as "fanatics of moderation" or to stake out new territory in a radically reconfigured Democratic Party.
In the meantime, while we await the Republicans to devour themselves, there are some things we can do:
•Never forget the last two elections. November 7, 2000, was the original sin after which the GOP's army of flying monkeys was allowed to steal the vote in the courts and in the tallying rooms of Florida. The Democratic leadership cravenly caved in, setting the stage for this year's debacle. (Rest assured that had 2000's result been reversed, George W. Bush would still be withholding his concession speech as his minions continued their legal efforts.)
•Admit that while the Red(neck) states chose for their leader a man who was inferior to his opponent in virtually every category, at least they were honest in their feelings. The left is so mired in political correctness and paralyzed by social allergies that we cannot even laugh like the majority of Americans. Our sense of humor is not what makes others laugh — ethnic accents, jokes about size or ugliness are not in our public vocabulary, the way pet is verboten for animal-rights fanatics. We've got to learn that speaking like the rest of American is not always a hate crime.

Mass storage and data management with Parted Magic
Disk Aid
It's really annoying when a disk suddenly dies on you or a typo in a command deletes important data. The free Parted Magic Live distro offers help.
The explosion of hard disk capacities in recent years, coupled with the ever-improving multimedia capabilities of conventional computer systems, has led to massive growth in volumes of data in many households. But HD video, lossless audio files, and elaborate games force you pay more attention to backing up your data. Many naive users invest in expensive, commercial software, often accompanied by a yearly subscription fee, to create backups of their mass storage.
However, the Parted Magic Live distribution [1] gives you a permanent answer to backup problems. Parted Magic bills itself as "a complete hard disk management solution." The Live system comes with a collection of useful tools for partitioning, backup, disk cloning, data rescue, and more. Although the maintainer has recently asked for a contribution to help finance the GPL-licensed distribution, the price of just under US$ 5 is something anyone can afford.
Parted Magic offers several start options in the GRUB boot manager. If you use the operating system on an older machine with only 512MB of RAM, choose the Start option Live with default settings 32 (for 32-bit machines) or Live with default settings 64 (for 64-bit PCs).

2012 NFL Draft: 8 Prospects the Miami Dolphins Should Target
After last season's performance, it is apparent that the Miami Dolphins need to make a big splash in the NFL draft. After trading away they're only productive wideout, it is clear that Miami not only needs a quarterback, but now someone to catch the ball as well.
The Dolphins limped into their offseason with a pathetic 6-10 record and an embarrassing third place in the AFC East. With only a few young, productive players like Reggie Bush and Vontae Davis, the Dolphins desperately need more explosive players if the want to compete in the ultra tough AFC East division.
Bleacher Reports Lead NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller breaks down the Dolphins' most glaring needs and who they need to pick up to get their club back on the right track.

GLASGOW WARRIORS (3rd) v LEINSTER (6th), Scotstoun Stadium, 7.35pm (live RTÉ Two/BBC ALBA)
Team News: The Leinster team to face the Glasgow Warriors in Friday night's RaboDirect PRO12 tussle at Scotstoun Stadium has been named.
Sean O'Brien, fully recovered from his hip surgery, will make his first appearance of the season in the number 8 jersey.
For his 72nd Leinster senior cap, O'Brien starts in an all-Ireland international back row alongside Shane Jennings and Kevin McLaughlin.
With a number of players on international duty this weekend, including Heinke van der Merwe who is away with the Springboks, there is a mix of youth and experience to the province's line-up as well as several returning players from injury.
Amongst the players coming back from injury is Isa Nacewa who is named at full-back, with Ian Madigan starting at out-half in his 60th competitive appearance for the province.
Leo Cullen leads the team and will be partnered in the second row by South African Quinn Roux, while Aaron Dundon makes his first appearance at hooker since picking up an injury in the opening round of the league campaign.
The European kingpins' replacements bench includes a panel of Academy graduates, amongst them Ireland second row Devin Toner.
Meanwhile, Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend is able to bring a number of players back to the front line with hooker Pat McArthur, prop Moray Low and winger DTH van der Merwe all returning from injury.
Townsend is also able to call on the bulk of the players who were called up for international duty over the last two weeks with Peter Murchie, Tommy Seymour, Alex Dunbar, Tom Ryder and Ruaridh Jackson all starting for the Warriors.
With Henry Pyrgos and Niko Matawalu playing for Scotland and Fiji respectively this weekend, and Chris Cusiter and Murray McConnell not match fit, Elite Development scrum half Sean Kennedy will start for the first time, partnering Jackson at half-back.
As all of Glasgow's other scrum halves are unavailable for selection, Gala's George Graham has been training with the squad this week and will take his place on the bench for the visit of Joe Schmidt's side.
In a late change, Gordon Reid's call-up to the Scotland squad means that Tongan front rower Ofa Fainga'anuku will now start for the Warriors on the tighthead side of the scrum.
GLASGOW WARRIORS: Peter Murchie; Tommy Seymour, Alex Dunbar, Peter Horne, DTH van der Merwe; Ruaridh Jackson, Sean Kennedy; Ofa Fainga'anuku, Pat MacArthur, Mike Cusack, Tim Swinson, Tom Ryder, Rob Harley, Chris Fusaro (capt), Josh Strauss.
Replacements: Finlay Gillies, George Hunter, Moray Low, James Eddie, Ryan Wilson, George Graham, Scott Wight, Byron McGuigan.
LEINSTER: Isa Nacewa; David Kearney, Brendan Macken, Andrew Goodman, Fionn Carr; Ian Madigan, Isaac Boss; Jack McGrath, Aaron Dundon, Jamie Hagan, Leo Cullen (capt), Quinn Roux, Kevin McLaughlin, Shane Jennings, Sean O'Brien.
Replacements: Tom Sexton, Jack O'Connell, Martin Moore, Devin Toner, Jordi Murphy, John Cooney, Noel Reid, Andrew Conway.
Referee: Neil Hennessy (Wales)
Assistant Referees: Andy Macpherson, Bob Nevins (both Scotland)
Television Match Official: Andy Ireland (Scotland)
Match Odds (Paddy Power): Glasgow Warriors to win: 4/5; Draw: 20/1; Leinster to win: 11/10
Pre-Match Quotes: Andrew Goodman (Leinster) - "It will be my first time there (in Glasgow), so it will be a new experience. But we're all keen to get back to winning ways, get some points and get back up the RaboDirect PRO12 table.
"The boys are really looking forward to the challenge against Glasgow, they've been going really well so it's going to be tough for us.
"I''m loving it here at Leinster, all the boys are really good. They help me out a lot, it's a great set-up here.
"The facilities are awesome and I'm loving my time here so far. It was great to get a couple of days off (during the break in league matches), the boys have had a pretty full-on season so it was nice to refresh."
Gregor Townsend (Glasgow Warriors) - "It's certainly unusual to have all our four scrum halves unavailable at the same time but I've been very impressed with Sean (Kennedy) since he joined us.
"His work ethic and attitude in training are excellent and, even with those other players available, he would be pushing for a starting place.
"George (Graham) has come in and been very professional in his approach to training. It's a great experience for him as he has impressed a lot of people this year with his performances for Gala.
"In our last game here at Scotstoun (against the Dragons) we kept up our winning run through some ambitious attacking play allied to strong defence, and that was a great way to enter the international break.
"But we know as we enter the middle third of the season that it's going to get much tougher, starting with Leinster. They are an exceptionally good side and will be desperate to close the gap in the table to the top four."
Top Scorers - 2012/13 RaboDirect PRO12: Glasgow Warriors - Points: Tommy Seymour, DTH van der Merwe 25 each; Tries: Tommy Seymour, DTH van der Merwe 5 each; Leinster - Points: Jonathan Sexton 55; Tries: Brendan Macken, Ian Madigan 3 each

Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Telecommunications technologies are advancing rapidly particularly in the field of mobile telephony. Improved network architectures will provide cheaper, more accessible mobile communication, but unfortunately this exposes mobile users to the type of mobile phone spam and fraud that is currently prevalent in the Internet. This paper proposes a spam prevention architecture that seamlessly integrates with existing IMS networks. The architecture is implemented in a practical network testbed and is subjected to various evaluations. These evaluations demonstrate that the architecture is a viable and effective solution for mitigating spam in IMS networks.

Scientists Believe Coral Death A Form Of Suicide, ABC, 03/20/07
By Barbara Miller
Source: ABC News
ELEANOR HALL: Marine scientists in Queensland have come up with an intriguing explanation for the rapidly emerging coral reef killer known as "white syndrome".
The researchers say the syndrome is not caused by bacterial attack from the outside, but by a self-destruct mechanism inside the coral. And they say what they regard as a form of coral suicide is a reaction to stress.
Barbara Miller reports.
BARBARA MILLER: Rising sea temperatures, water pollution and over-fishing can all make life just a long hard slog for a coral reef.
And if as a result they suffer bleaching, the researchers say, it can become downright unbearable.
Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg is Director of the Centre for Marine Studies at the University of Queensland.
OVE HOEGH-GULDBERG: The effect of coral bleaching is that you lose the energy reserves of the coral. And as a result, as they go into the winter months when food becomes short and there's not as much sunshine, and if they've been stressed out by bleaching, essentially they run out of energy.
And we suspect what's happening here is that this is a cell process that corals have when they're short of supplies. So, they essentially withdraw themselves back to a smaller colony size in the hope that they can then survive to the next summer and then start to regrow.
BARBARA MILLER: So, if we try and put in sort of human terms, could we say that basically the corals realise in some way that they're under threat and that some of them self-sacrifice to ensure that the population does continue?
OVE HOEGH-GULDBERG: I think that is the way we're seeing it. It is literally cells that are committing hari-kari for the sake of the rest of the colony. And so, it's really interesting.
It hadn't been reported in corals before, but the more we look now and the more we find it.
BARBARA MILLER: Programmed cell death occurs to some extent in all organisms. But the researchers say it's happening to a far greater extent than normal in corals.
OVE HOEGH-GULDBERG: I think under normal circumstances corals are ... they're having a little bit of sort of self-regulation of the colony in cell numbers and polyps and so on.
I think when they're under stress though, they turn it on big time and in fact what we've discovered is this type of disease, it's seen across corals across the world, something called "white band" is in fact probably due entirely to this type of process as opposed to what people were thinking in the past was that these white zones on coral were in fact war zones, that it was where the coral was battling bacteria and so on.
BARBARA MILLER: Professor Hoegh-Guldberg says the findings of his PhD student Tracy Ainsworth have turned around thinking on cell disease.
OVE HOEGH-GULDBERG: Science often does that to you. You can absolutely believe in an idea and then suddenly it gets turned on its head. And it just takes that little insight like the one that Tracy has discovered to now suggest a whole series of other avenues of investigations.
BARBARA MILLER: But he cautions the results don't mean we should think corals can adapt to the pressures they're under.
OVE HOEGH-GULDBERG: With rising sea temperatures and so on we're going to see more and more of this. And I feel that we're going to see that a lot of these processes will eventually be exhausted.
And that's in fact what happened in the Caribbean when they lost their staghorn corals, especially off a country called Belize where they have the second largest barrier reef system in the world, and they had, you know, die off of corals due to coral disease.
So, no it doesn't really give us that sort of strong glimmer of hope that somehow they can handle this sort of stress.
ELEANOR HALL: Scientist Ove Hoegh-Guldberg from the University of Queensland, speaking to Barbara Miller.

I've made this dress quite a few years back! If it looks like it needs to stretch a bit too much- well that's coz it does need to stretch more than it used to:)) Love the big floral print and yes I should have taken a few pics to show the details… front is double layered and quite playful, with parts that are looser and flowy and parts that are, of course, tight… the shoulder line is not stitched the whole way, it has a little slit on the arm. Zigzagged edges, an asymmetrical neckline with a corner turned inside out showing the wrong side of the fabric. For details about the mysterious location please visit my blog

Officer Roster
The more you play Memoir '44 Online against live opponents (but not Johnny the Computer AI!), the more experience you will gain. Eventually, you will begin to move up the ranks in your career as an army Officer.
Initially, you start the game as a Cadet. To be promoted to Second Lieutenant, you will need to score at least 3 victories against other human opponents.
Moving further up the ranks will progressively become more challenging, reflecting the skills you will have developed. Exactly what is required to move beyond Second Lieutenant is still Classified, and has only been discovered by a few, but Intelligence reports are beginning to come in, offering tantalizing hints of what it may take to advance one's career.
By default, you receive a US Army Officer Insignia and Title, but you may choose to switch this to a diferent nationality: British, Russian, French, German, Japanese or Italian. The Insignia and Title will appear next to your name, and reflect your choice of nationality. The following table gives you the correspondence between the different nationalities.

Why should you be using a Hammer-Head? Our customers will tell it like it is.
At the 2009 Florida Pool and Spa Show, we asked some Hammer-Head users to share their opinions about our products. Here's what some of them had to say:
To Whom It May Concern,
I am the Assistant Aquatics Supervisor for the City of Lakeland (FL) and I just wanted to drop a line to let you all know how much we really love our new HammerHead vacuums. The City of Lakeland has three Aquatic Facilities including two 45,000 + gallon pools. Our staff can not stop raving about what an amazing job the HammerHead's have done.
We have one year round facility that always gets a lot of attention. Staff reported that even in this pristine pool that they were still able to pick up about a pound of sand with the power of the HammerHead. Our other facility is surrounded by all kinds of trees as well as a playground, it literally takes a couple of hours for it to be doused in all kinds of debris. The HammerHead proved itself to be able not only to take care of the detail cleaning necessary at the other pool but was also able to tackle the larger debris at this site.
We look forward to continued success with your product.

Just for other info, I use this machine 49-50 weeks per year and I perform approximately 4800-5000 service stops per year. That's about 95-100 residential pools per week. I have owned a Hammer-Head since 2001 and I gotta say it's the most reliable machine I've ever used. You guys do a great job and you should know that I am definitely your number one fan. Keep up the good work, and I appreciate what you're doing more than you'll ever know.

Your slogan, "Your Day Just Got Shorter" is a lot of ####. Because my days just got longer from picking up new pools!
Chris Hamshare
Katy, TX
We have two service 21" hammer head units that are the older ones 6+ years old.
(First let me say, you have a hell of a product, these units have been used, not quite abused, but almost! One of our units went through cleanup of Hurricane Charley in Charlotte County Florida a few years back, and that unit is STILL running!!! With the same motor and prop! I'm beyond impressed with your product and highly suggest it to any pool service professional!)
Amazing to me. Its nice to see a company build something that lasts and is actually worth the money you pay! Customer for life. I plan on buying newer vac heads when the time comes.
Sincerely and many thanks from this satisfied customer.

Dear Hammerhead Inc.,
After being in the pool business for nearly 25 years, I've grown to be quite a skeptic when it comes to promises associated with products in the industry. More often than not, I've been disappointed with the end results. But I have to say, I am wowed and excited about your product so much so that I'm actually writing an email to tell you about it.
The quality in the workmanship of the Hammerhead Service 21 and its accessories (especially the easiness when attaching the bags to the unit head) show the unique and original thinking behind your product.
I especially want to thank Dean for his help in answering all of my questions and his diligence in shipping the product in a timely manner.
A final note; although some people may consider this a high ticket item and not worth the investment, I can tell you that I look forward to using it because it saves time, wear and tear on my body, shortens my day and allows me to make money in other areas of my business.
Thanks for being true to your word.
Philip Gardiner,

After his brother informed him that somebody had already done that, Dmitri, noticing how the smoke from his cigar seemed to mingle perfectly with the taste of his premium vodka, moved on to his next, and so much cooler idea: creating the world's first and only tobacco flavored vodka.

I have been writing a weekly newspaper column since 1987.
For 3 years, it ran in the Greeley Tribune. Since then, it has run in various subsidiaries of the Douglas County News Press. I still have most of my columns in digital format.
For many years, I only gave myself one rule: try to work the word "library" into every piece. My intent was to think in public about just what librarianship means at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st.
There have been many advantages for me. I found that putting library plans out in front of the public, and getting feedback about them, helped me make better decisions. Sometimes, I found that it was very difficult for me to describe those plans or policies -- the kind of thing that makes me realize that they might not be good ideas after all. The weekly discipline of explaining my profession to the public keeps me more mindful, more honest. It also has provided steady visibility for the library and its issues.
July 23, 2009 - lifelong learning is fun with OLLI
I've been thinking lately about how libraries work. Today, I might put it like this: driven by our core beliefs, librarians assemble complex systems to achieve important community outcomes.
For instance, because librarians have a keen value for literacy in all its manifestations, we build collections and programs to nurture a community of lifelong learners. Lifelong learners not only know how to read, think, and discuss, they get a big kick out of doing it. Regularly.
Lifelong learning has a broad reach. It takes in everything from attending storytimes as an infant, to watching obscure foreign films, to a comprehensive and compulsive reading of romance novels, to attending every free lecture you can find.
But not only libraries are in this business of growing literate communities. This week, I'd like to highlight the efforts of the University of Denver's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. OLLI, as it is known, is a lecture/study program designed for older learners (age 50 and up).
It happens that OLLI has a new south campus, located right here in Douglas County. For a modest membership fee (usually $100, but now an introductory offer of $75), you can choose from a listing of 9 topics taught locally -- and many more from other campuses. Membership offers other perks: access to the Penrose Library, discounts on Newman Center concerts, and so on.The fee is good for one academic term (fall, winter, spring).
Most of the classes last 8 weeks (typically one 2 hour session a week, usually held on a week day). They are taught, often, by OLLI members, many of whom have impressive credentials. A sample of upcoming topics:
* Eyewitness to Power - taught by Harry Cullis, on a book by David Gergen, former advisor to four U.S. presidents.
* Macbeth: Fair or Foul - taught by Patricia Paul, past president of the Colorado Language Arts Society.
* Colorado Mystery Writers Series - featuring eight different writers presenting on their own work.
* Searching for Hussan: a cultural, historical, and political tour of Iran - taught by Khosrow Badiozamani, who was born in Iran.
* A Survey of Comparative Mythology: the contributions of Joseph Campbell - taught by Thomas Carter, international businessman.
OLLI also offers a smattering of one-offs -- one-time lectures with their own modest fees (for instance, $10 gets you into a two hour class on fine music appreciation).
There are no exams. This is learning for the fun of it.
On Tuesday, August 4, from 10 a.m. to noon, OLLI is sponsoring an open house at the south campus. According to a recent press release, "The open house is an opportunity to learn more about the program, register for classes and meet OLLI members. For information, or to be added to the OLLI South database, contact Nancy Chase at 720-203-9708 or email@example.com.
OLLI South Open House & classes: Valley View Christian Church, 11004 Wildfield Lane (4 miles south of US85 & C470 on the northeast corner of South Santa Fe Drive & Titan Parkway)."
More information, and online registration, is available at www.universitycollege.du.edu/olli.
Meanwhile, for those of you who are not yet 50, or don't have $75 to spare, remember that the People's University (doing business as the Douglas County Libraries) offers a guaranteed scholarship to a lifetime of exploration.
Why not start today?
LaRue's Views are his own.

- Freight tariff to go up from Oct 1, passenger fares untouchedBook train tickets 'on-the-go' with official IRCTC app on Windows devicesAfter Indian railways, now BlackBerry, Android smartphone tickets for air travel see upward trendIndian railways asked to pay Rs 1L for daylight theft in moving train
With a Rs 2,000-crore shortfall in Indian Railways' passenger revenues in the first six months of the current fiscal, the spectre of a cut in the Plan outlay is looming large over the national transporter this year as well.
The national carrier, despite increasing passenger fares by 20% in January, is falling short of the target because of a dip in traffic in suburban and non-urban trains. Last year, too, the plan outlay was slashed by R8,000 crore, from R60,000 crore to R52,000 crore.
"Our earnings haven't been according to the budget target as there has been a dip in passenger traffic. If the widening gap doesn't stop, we have to slash the plan outlay for this year. The picture will become clearer in December," a railway board official said.
Passenger earnings for the first six months have been around R18,000 crore, over R2,000 crore less than Budget estimates. The current year's target for passenger revenue set by the railways is R42,210 crore and the operating ratio has been set at 87.8%.
The national transporter has set a plan outlay for R63,363 crore for the current fiscal and it expects to generate R14,260 crore from internal generation. "If the internal generation remains low, we have to reduce our debt expenditure fund and passenger amenities fund," the railway board official added.
Railways says an increase in ticketless travel in suburban trains is causing the shortfall. "The shortfall is majorly due to the increase in ticketless travel in suburban and non-urban sections. We have increased ticket checking in all such segments to curb the increasing trend," the official added.
Recently, railways had implemented a fuel adjustment component (FAC) of 2% on passenger tickets, but the extra earnings from that will offset the increasing fuel cost. However, the railways says it is trying to make up for the loss from the freight segment as it is doing better than the budget estimates. But it's unlikely it will be able to cover up from the passenger segment as the growth in freight traffic is not that high.

A man was killed and a woman injured in an Interstate 75 crash Wednesday afternoon.
Eighty-one year old Kasper Fluek, of North Port, died in the crash. Rosetta Flueck, 70, suffered minor injuries and was transported to Lakewood Ranch Medical Center for treatment.
A Florida Highway Patrol report states 81-year-old Kasper Fluek was driving northbound on I-75 in the northbound lane, just north of University Parkway around 3:15 p.m. April 17. His 2002 Mercury was towing a tandem axle box trailer, which started swaying side to side. The motion caused the vehicle to rotate counter clockwise and jackknife.
The vehicle then overturned.
The box trailer remained upright and connected to the vehicle, which came to a final rest facing southwest in the median emergency lane. The left front of the trailer box struck the left side of the vehicle.
