LWN.net Weekly Edition for November 21, 2013
I will of course try this release. After my initial positive reaction to Gnome 3, I've been driven out as far as KDE and XFCE before circling back to Unity, which I'm starting to like. It too has its "interesting" quirks - just try to find your windows after you remove a second monitor for example (this is a pretty common use-case for laptop users in work environments).
To be an equal-opportunity DE hater, I couldn't believe how crappy the KDE experience was. While Gnome went to one extreme in configurability, KDE is just a mess - seems like anybody can drop in a GUI for random configuration settings. Does a desktop user really need TCP timeout fine tuning for example? The general bling content is even worse than Windows. And all those innocent pixels sacrificed for "Apply" buttons - Gnome got this right, just change the value and boom, it's changed.
GNOME 3.6 released

Now everyone is going to start complaining that they can't suspend their computers. Is it really that hard to show both actions, make the displayed actions visible, or have the single action call up a general dialog with everything. I guess none of these alternatives are what Apple would do, in the eyes of the GNOME project.

You see what you did there? Used common sense? Tsk, tsk. Don't be ridiculous. I'm sure the now opposite lack of options (yes, hibernate is a valid one as well) on the menu was carefully scrutinised by the whole design team... :-)
Posted Sep 28, 2012 15:54 UTC (Fri) by mathstuf (subscriber, #69389) [Link]
[1]Though, personally, that option would be my go-to (provided hibernate worked) all the time. Still leaves 3 options: power off, power save, and logout.
Posted Sep 29, 2012 0:37 UTC (Sat) by bojan (subscriber, #14302) [Link]
Your PS brings us to the most reasonable solution. Have some default menu items. Provide a way to change that in settings. So, if I want to have suspend/hibernate (hybrid or not)/power off, I can do that too. And it is not complicated - Gnome devs simply refuse to do it.
Sensible defaults are great. Inability to customise trivial things is not. And no, writing code (i.e. extensions) for every possible combo is not the way to do it.

I'm still running Ubuntu 11.04 (the last 2.32 release) with selected updated packages on my work laptop (the desktop is Gentoo, so I don't envision issues there, but I'm not using it as much lately), and the support will end in a month or so, so now I will have to start researching an alternative distro.
I'm fed up and I don't have time for all this crap, I've been seriously considering getting a Win7 cd and calling it quits, after more than a decade of desktop linux. A couple of years ago I would have never believed it would've come to this.

I even used Windows for a couple of weeks (work laptop) because of Braindead Enterprise Software Vendors. Wanted to claw my eyes out soon after. That cure is worse than the disease.
Linux DEs are in turmoil right now, but the only way forward if you're a user who wants to keep using Linux, is to try to constructively engage those projects that want to hear from their users and try to influence them. And keep an open mind, not all innovations are bad.

At least putty works. We are talking about GNOME here right? I'll take Putty over the default GNOME's terminal any day of the week: at least putty does not spend more CPU resources to show me the gcc's command line then it takes for gcc to compile complex C++ code!
When I see that my terminals fully hogs the CPU core just to show the commands executed by make I weep.
P.S. Just don't try to compare Linux port of Putty with anything: I'm not sure who did that port but it's awful, yes, I know. We are talking about Putty on Windows here.

Or ctrl-alt-T for terminal.
Still despise the stupid idea shared by Gnome3 and Unity that you're ever only going to want one window of each type and you need right click + "New Terminal" or whatever to get a new one.
Posted Sep 29, 2012 3:39 UTC (Sat) by thebluesgnr (guest, #37963) [Link]
It makes sense in most cases - the exception for me also being the terminal. I simply set up the Super+T shortcut to launch a new window and that's that.

Middle mouse on launcher also opens a new window in Unity.
Not very discoverable, but works great and is consistent with browsers.
Posted Oct 1, 2012 14:21 UTC (Mon) by sorpigal (subscriber, #36106) [Link]
Long ago I began launching apps from my terminal. The number of launcher docks I used shrank quickly to zero and I've never looked back. On Linux I've bound my favorite terminal to ALT+SHIFT+t and have a trivial shell script
#!/usr/bin/env bash "$1" 2>/dev/null &1>2 & disown $!
which I invoke to launch my graphical programs. Launcher programs are overrated; my launcher panel is as long as my memory and the time it takes to find any item is a function of the length of its name (or faster, if it tab completes quickly). I expect most people (where people != users) will prefer this sort of thing once they get used to it.

Ugh, no. That's one of the things I hate about GNOME (and now, alas, XFCE.) I like to sanity-check my changes before applying them. In some cases, if changes are auto-applied it can make the dialog very difficult to read to un-apply them.

So then you end up with inconsistency. And you have to trust authors to get it right and know when "Apply" is necessary.
I prefer Apply always.

Do "standard" WMs still do the one-desktop-for-all-monitors thing? One workspace per monitor (over a shared set of workspaces) works much better IMO (even if it isn't the default, for more experienced users, it can be quite nice). The main downside is keeping track of what is where and the keybindings to do different things.

It's been a while since I've had chance to post on here – so I thought I'd drop in a summary from the conclusion of my final year dissertation on the topic – 'How has the role of a PR practitioner in the video games industry chance since the advent of social media?'
The role of a PR communicator has had to adapt to embrace the challenges social media presents; it could be argued that the role of a PR practitioner is very different to how it was perceived two years ago, as audiences, communications channels and the individuals that require influencing have evolved dramatically. This dissertation's research proved that nowhere is this truer than in the video games industry. Continue reading

Top Stories
LONDON: Inflation fell to its lowest in more than two years in April, raising the prospect that the Bank of England will be able to inject more stimulus later this year to support the economy.
The Office for National Statistics said consumer price inflation eased to 3.0 percent in April from 3.5 percent in March, freeing BoE Governor Mervyn King from the obligation to write an explanatory letter to finance minister George Osborne.
Separately, the ONS said Britain's public sector posted a record surplus in April, due to one-off factors, while government borrowing in the 2011/12 fiscal year was revised down to
124.399 billion pounds, equivalent to 8.2 percent of GDP.
Economists had been expecting a sizeable fall in inflation due to a spike in some prices in April last year not being repeated this year.
The ONS said the fall in annual inflation was driven by lower inflation for air and sea transport, clothing and alcohol.
Core CPI, which excludes food and fuel costs, and has been a particular source of concern to some BoE policymakers, fell to 2.1 percent, its lowest since November 2009.
The BoE targets a 2 percent rate for headline CPI. If inflation is more than 1 percentage point above this, King has to explain why this is every three months.
Inflation has now been above the BoE's 2 percent target for almost 2-1/2 years and Tuesday's data come a week after the central bank predicted it would say there for at least another r year before falling to 1.6 percent by mid-2014.
Until April, British inflation had fallen more slowly than the BoE expected this year - a factor which many economists said lay behind its decision not to expand its 325 billi on pound quantitative easing programme this month, despite the economy having fallen back into recession.
Separate figures on Tuesday showed Britain's public finances posted a record surplus in April, a firm start to the 2012/13 financial year.
The ONS said the measure of public sector net borrowing excluding financial sector interventions - the government's preferred metric - showed a surplus of 16.520 billion pounds last month compared with a deficit of 9.063 billion pounds in April 2011.
The figures were flattered by the transfer of 28 billion pounds of pension fund assets from the Royal Mail, which were transferred to the government as it prepares to sell off
part of the state-owned postal services. Profits from the BoE's Special Liquidity Scheme for banks added 2.3 billion pounds to the surplus.
But April's one-off gain from the Royal Mail assets will be more than offset by liabilities of 38 billion pounds which will gradually show up in the public finances in years to come.
Excluding the Royal Mail assets, PSNB-ex came in at 13.8 billion pounds.
The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts government borrowing will fall to 120 billion pounds in the 2012/13 financial year.

Leopard print is perfect!
Love the shoes and the print. It goes with the outfit I just purchased.
Normally I get the Patricia but I wanted the print so I tried these
and they are great.
I Wanted to Love These But...
I wanted to love this because of the trendy leopard print. I have many pairs of the Women's Patricia and love them, and I hoped that the Patricia II would fit the same way. However, the Patrician II are a terrible fit for my high instep, so these must go back. I wish the would offer this print in the Patricia.

Too narrow
This shoe is cute and I liked it but it was too narrow and too tight in a size 6. I had purchased 2 pairs of croc's at the same time in size 6. The one pair was perfect but this Patricia sandal was definitely a different size and fit and was smaller and narrower and tighter so I passed it on to my daughter in law and it fit her ok. This is a reminder that when Croc's are purchased online and we aren't able to try on the shoes, the same marked size can vary in different styles.

A roundup by The Moment's retail enthusiast, Christene Barberich.
Cairo Collection (art, housewares, accessories) | Seattle
Seattle's new Cairo collection brings a clever marriage of art and objects to the city's Summit area. The space is divided into three distinct areas — the front gallery, the center boutique and the artists' studio in the rear. Cairo Collection's current gallery show features the artist Aaron Osborn's graphite drawings and wood-stain paintings (through July 14). Complementing Osborn's work are hand-picked collections, including a new line of clothing from the local label Civilian and a selection of jewelry from the Chicago-based designer LuLu.

We enjoyed a very good meal, with great beer, and very friendly attentive service. The bar is a bit noisy and requires shouting to be heard on the other side of the table, as the place was nearly filled during Happy Hour.

Moon Time has a great selection of beer - a couple of good food choices for a vegetarian (and many for the non-vegetarian) and great service. We have been to Moon Time on several occassions and just again recently. Never disappointed.
We come to CDA quite a bit to visit family. We almost always eat at the Moon Time. Great feel to the place when you walk in. Nice selection of tap beers and I have never been disappointed by the food. We have always had to wait for a table, lunch or dinner, so be prepared for that.
I have yet to get a meal at Moon Time that I didn't talk about for weeks. Love that Turkey Pie!! My latest yummiful meal was a French Dip... usually getting a good French Dip is a crap shoot but it is a sure thing at Moon Time!
This was one of those off the beaten path places that was recommended by a server at another restaurant and was a nice find! It is much larger that it appears from the outside, and has plenty of bar and table seating. Good selection of craft and draft beers, small but good wine selection, and the food was quite good!... More
The variety of beers of tap is great and the food was just average. A wee bit noisy but to bee expected in a corner tavern.
My husband and I ate at Moon Time when it was recommended by the local bike shop Terra Sports to eat there. The menu was great and beer selection very nice. The service was fair.
We went to Coeur d'Alene on a bike trip and after one of our 36 mile rides we had lunch at Moon Time! Charming restaurant/pub! Great selection of beers on tap. Server was extremely friendly. I had a wonderful spinach salad with goat cheese, and a delicious lemon vinegrette! My husband had a chicken pot pie - one of the... More
This place was recommended by more than a few locals so while visiting CDA we stopped in for dinner. Some creative dishes on the menu as well as the usual pub fare. I had the santa fe chicken burger with poblano pepper and the chicken was moist and tasty. It came with a roasted corn pasta salad that I did... More
Perfect for lunchtime. Excellent sandwiches and great ciders. The staff is very friendly and helpful

IAQ Tools for Schools
Develop Your Program
Key Drivers
Efforts to create healthy school environments should encompass a variety of strategies and policies within schools. The Framework for Effective School IAQ Management: Key Drivers are the programmatic building blocks of sustainable health or safety programs, including indoor air quality (IAQ) management programs. The Key Drivers give step-by-step actions and strategies that schools can take to create effective IAQ management programs.
The Framework for Effective School IAQ Management Key Drivers
Download the Framework for Effective School IAQ Management (PDF) (3 pp., 587 K)
- Develop a Systematic Approach
- Identify Existing Assets
- Design Standard Operating Procedures
- Empower an IAQ Leader
- Build an Effective Team
- Create Champions
- Secure Senior Buy-In
Effective organization is critical to ensuring a successful and sustainable IAQ management program. To organize for success, designate a responsible and motivated IAQ coordinator to lead and track IAQ management activities in your school. Convene a leadership team to assist the IAQ coordinator, and engage senior management to support your IAQ management efforts. Build an IAQ team that represents your district and community. To recruit program champions, communicate with school officials, staff and parents about how your program is organized. Many effective IAQ teams include union representatives, parents and teachers who initially lodged IAQ complaints.
- Share Your Goals
- Make IAQ Meaningful
- Be Transparent and Inclusive
- Communicate Results
Communicate with everyone, all the time. Share your IAQ program's intent, activities, results and next steps with your entire school community to build understanding and buy-in. Making transparent and inclusive communication a priority will help your program engage participants and program supporters from your community. Highlighting and sharing your successes and results can help make IAQ meaningful for your school.

Consider collecting information about facility IAQ from school staff using the checklists in the IAQ Tools for Schools Action Kit. Communicate and share the walkthrough findings and action steps.
- Prioritize Actions
- Put Goals in Writing
- Start Small
- Work in Stages
- Plan for the Future
Develop an IAQ management plan that includes goals, objectives and new standard facility management policies designed to prevent IAQ problems and respond to potential IAQ issues when they occur. Be sure to communicate your plan — including a proposed timeline for action items — to the school community to generate feedback and promote collaboration. Update your plan on a regular basis to reflect new goals, objectives and policies.
- Educate Staff About IAQ to Change Behavior
- Train Occupants to Address IAQ Risks
- Address the Source of Problems
Act to address structural, institutional and behavioral issues. Communicate the actions you will take to improve IAQ with all affected stakeholders including IAQ team members, facility staff, teachers and administrators. Be sure to address IAQ problems identified in the IAQ profiles of your buildings and priorities listed in your IAQ management plan. As you take steps to manage IAQ, tell your community what you have done and why it is important. This will help sustain your IAQ management program by institutionalizing IAQ policies and building community support for your program.
- Solicit Feedback
- Capture Return on Investment
Evaluate your results by assessing your progress toward your goals and your program's impact on student and staff health, productivity and performance. Measure your program's impact by monitoring metrics, such as the number of IAQ complaints, the cost of IAQ-related repairs, the difference in school nurse visits, and attendance and student test scores over time. Assessing the impact of your IAQ management program on student health and achievement is a critical step to constantly improving your program and capturing your return on investment. Evaluation can also identify opportunities to decrease costs through preventative maintenance. Consider your results and the metrics for tracking the program as you continue to refine your program strategy.
Read examples of districts that have used evaluation to refine their program and showcase their successes, and learn how you can do the same. Find additional examples of districts achieving outcomes using the IAQ Tools for Schools resources at www.epa.gov/iaq/schools/casestudies.html

Hi folks,

Yeah, I'm too stupid as well. The simple support module works, but I can't figure out how to make the artillery module work with on map mortars as a support or radio request.
Same here. Think it necessiates bits of scripting to get anything work well in the games current state. I work around in my own little missions, by adding onmap mortar groups, with the groups leader beeing sort of a FO, beeing a playable unit. During missions need to team switch over to the FO in order to get the available 2 fire missions happen where I like. Wished for a higher initial HE ammo load, as the 7-8 rounds available a gun, just allow 2 x 3 shot missions. While it might be for "balancing" purposes, I´d rather wish for "ammo sets" that allow 1 minute lasting salvoes at highest ROF. Other options would be nice too.

Finally, cheerz buddy!
Danke Dir!
So far I've had no luck using the artillery module in this game. So I can't use actual artillery fire like in arma2.
To expand on Mr.Burns code: If you are spawning artillery shells, I suggest you create them a bit up in the air, and use setVelocity to give them speed, this way you will also get the whining sound before the shell hits. Here is an example:
Code:while { true } do { _pos = getMarkerPos "ARTY_TARGET"; //Your marker where artillery should strike _pos set [2, 50]; //This sets the target position 50m from the ground _shell = createVehicle ["LIB_SH_82_HE", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; //Create the shell _shell setVelocity [(-5 + (random 10)), (-5 + (random 10)), -20]; //Give it speed downwards (-20), plus a random speed sideways for a small spread (max 5 in each direction, x and y). sleep (10 + (random 20)); //Wait before the next shell };

Be Thankful at Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 24th, 2011I've read two fictional accounts of totalitarian societies this fall– British George Orwell's "1984″ and Russian Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We"– both frightenng stories about a one Party-ruled government that decides to forcibly brain-alter their citizens, to prevent dissent and crush imagination. Let us hope we never ever have to live under such governments.
Click here for my review of "1984″.
Here we are at 2011, the 21st Century — healing ourselves after that horrific mass murder of six of our citizens on January 8, 2011 — and praying for the healing of the wounded of that day, including CD 8 Congresswoman Gabrielle Gffords. It has been a tough year for Tucson, but we are slowly healing and moving forward. Stay tuned for Beyond: Commemorate Celebrate Commit events on/about Saturday January 7, 2012 to reflect on what happened that fateful day when Jared Lee Loughner took a gun into his hands and went to that Safeway shopping center. Gabby has undergone a terrible brain injury and continues to inspire us by her determination to get well & return to her job.
On Monday my husband and I attended the 16th Annual Inter-religious Thanksgiving prayer service at the First Christian Church, 740 E. Speedway Blvd. There were Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Baha'i, and Zoroastrian selections, music, prayers, & reflections, sharing similiar messages of faith, unity & gratitude. The last program selection was "Let There be Peace on Earth (and let it begin with me)".
So since it is Thanksgiving 2011, let us also reflect upon what we are thankful for, in our city and elsewhere. Reflect upon what is good and positive about your life, and be grateful for the turkey meal you may be eating tonight.

TravelCenters of America (TCA) is in the fuel, food, and relaxation business for the long haul. The company's network of more than 235 interstate highway travel centers in some 40 US states and Ontario, Canada is one of the largest in North America. Its TCA and Petro locations provide fuel, fast-food and sit-down restaurants (Country Pride, Buckhorn Family), convenience stores, and lodging. With professional truck drivers as its main customers, some outlets also offer "trucker-only" services, such as laundry and shower facilities, TV rooms, and truck repair. TCA leases 185 of its 235 locations from Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT), its largest shareholder.
The company operates and franchises travel centers under two brands: TravelCenters of America with more than 165 locations; and Petro Stopping Centers (acquired in 2007) with about 70 locations, about 50 of which company operated. TCA also operates "RoadSquad," the largest nationwide emergency roadside service network, with more than 400 heavy-duty emergency vehicles.
Financial Analysis
After losing money every year since it was acquired by HPT in 2007, TravelCenters of America (TCA) finally turned a profit in 2011. Net income exceeded $23 million in 2011 compared with a loss of more than $65 million the prior year. Sales increased by about 32% in 2011 vs. 2010, driven by a 38% jump in fuel sales vs. a nearly 10% gain in nonfuel sales. The strong performance in 2011 followed a healthy 2010, when TCA's sales rose nearly 27%, again buoyed by a hefty rise in fuel sales.
The company is building its cross-country network of travel centers through acquisitions by opportunistically buying up smaller competitors struggling as a result of the recent recession. To that end it acquired eight travel centers for an aggregate price of $37 million in 2011 and in 2012 agreed to purchase eight more for about $32 million. With fuel accounting for such a large portion of its total sales (84% in 2011 vs. 80% in 2010), TCA is vulnerable to wild swings in prices. (About 90% of TCA's historical fuel sales are diesel, while 10% are gasoline. The company is looking into expanding into natural gas as a motor fuel.) Another wildcard for the company is the 2010 merger of its two largest rivals: Pilot Travel Centers and Flying J to form Pilot Flying J, an operator of more than 550 travel centers across North America. The merger created a more formidable competitor and could hinder TCA's sales and new-found profitability.
The real estate investment firm Hospitality Properties Trust owns nearly 10% of TCA's shares.

My dad's unificationMy Dad was born and raised in Pyongyang before he escaped south, along with millions of other North Koreans, as the U.N. forces retreated in the winter of 1950 under the onslaught of the Chinese "volunteer" army. He was 16 years old at the time, alone and hungry when he arrived in Busan; worse, he didn't even understand the Busan dialect. ``It was like a foreign language to me," he recalls. But somehow he survived, albeit with a bullet scar across his chest. Many others didn't. Now that he is 80 years old, he would like an opportunity to visit his old hometown once more. He has no hopes anymore of finding his mother or younger sister that he left behind, but he would like to lay his eyes on his childhood home at least one more time. With the death of Kim Jong-il, he hopes that the opportunity could come before it is too late. But as I listened to him give voice to his wishes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of ``Alice in Wonderland" dizziness at the situation that all Koreans, not just members of separated families, face in the fact that Korea is divided into North and South. Worse, you are prevented from visiting the loved ones left behind, unless it's through one of those infrequent, government–sanctioned reunions in Mt. Geumgang. Of course, unification would solve this problem. But whenever you begin to broach the subject, it gets immediately blasted with so many challenges and objections that you think you just landed in the middle of a debate among Republican presidential candidates on the eve of the Iowa caucus. There are the political questions. How can we possibly think of unification with North Korea as long as it's run by the distasteful Kim dynasty? How can we approach unification when their military has 20,000 artillery pieces aimed at Seoul? How can we unify with a nuclear armed North Korea when they are threatening to blow us to smithereens? Then there are the socioeconomic questions. How can we afford to unify when it's going to cost us trillions of dollars? How can we feed, clothe, and retrain all the unskilled and boorish North Korea workers to compete in a globalized world? How can we build all the necessary infrastructure needed to begin bringing North Korea up to speed? Most of all, how can we even begin to deal with all the poor, famished, backward people with unrealistic expectations of what South Korea could do for them? How, how, how? For a country that used to teach its children to sing, ``Our Deepest Wishes are for Unification," in elementary school, there are a lot of ``How's" that blocks any serious discussion of unification. And, admittedly, they are legitimate how's. These are not easy questions to answer. But that's only because we are looking at unification from a high-level political and economic sphere. What about unification at the people level? In short, what would unification mean to my father, who now lives in New Jersey? Simple. It would mean being able to get on a plane at Newark Airport and fly to Pyongyang, rent a car, and drive to where his childhood home was and point out to his grandson where he used to fish and swim. Perhaps even knock on doors in the neighborhood to see if he could find anyone who knew of his family way back when. As long as he could do that, he wouldn't care which Kim ruled North Korea, to what levels they were enriching uranium, and whether their missile tests were failed satellite launches or not. Some might criticize him for being selfish, for not thinking of the big picture and indirectly supporting an immoral regime perpetuate itself. But my dad has been a victim of the ``Big Picture" long enough. It's the ``Big Picture" of the Cold War that ripped him apart from his family in the first place, and it's the ``Big Picture" of Juche vs. Capitalism that prevented him from saying goodbye to his mother, and it's the ``Big Picture" of Nuke vs. Six-Party Talks that's probably going to keep him from showing his sons where he grew up. Forget the ``Big Picture." And forget who's originally at fault. The old players are all dead anyway. All he wants now is the freedom to travel to Pyongyang from New Jersey. Or hop on a tour bus in Seoul and drive into Pyongyang, like he does between New Jersey and Virginia whenever he comes to visit me. And I have a feeling that he might is not alone. After all, there are 10 million Koreans who count themselves as part of the divided families. ``Small Picture" unification anyone?

Two weeks now since super storm sandy has slammed in new York and more than a 125000.
-- -- customers are still without heat and power this morning and the residents of Long Island.
-- not the only ones were angry congressman Peter King wrote a letter to President Obama.
Asking for more federal help and he joins us now nice to see you could -- what has been holed up for two weeks of getting power and -- back to people.
Like to just acted disgraceful and did listen this is not an easy job but the fact is Liberia refuse to communicate with people people -- -- when the -- gonna come back on.
They gave misleading signals.
They've given wrong information.
They're telling people had to have amateur contractor committed certified yes I got a -- -- Brian Kilmeade.
He got the contractors like to shut up sort of wasn't good enough to would change in the signals against hepatitis and people -- from my office to resolve of conflict literally in the middle street I'm Brian apps are Brian's house -- all the neighbors -- with such as one example when you've over a 100000 people still out of power.
Two weeks after this happened in the end of so many missteps so many mistakes and a real arrogant.
This is there any recourse for people in life is for all intents and -- -- -- monopoly in this is who provide new power and the heat on Long Island off obviously lots of states and municipalities have the same Bob what do you do if you're angry with them.
Right now he is under the control of state and I think that after this is settled whenever it is next week to three weeks -- -- -- I think right pass we restructure we have to look at the whole.
Concept knew the state legislature the governor everyone that -- federal involvement fine.
But there's obviously those words and responsive.
-- sources as is not attuned to what have -- done in the 21 century who would have thought we'd see.
In the in the -- -- entry on Long Island hundreds of thousands people out of.
-- for so long it's just is wrong.
At Christie's it -- life but that's sort of -- faceless.
And to see the Long Island power authority -- there are people behind Lebanon to be answering questions the CEO with somebody and Michael Kirby.
We also have a list of the executive staff.
None of whom are answering the phone because -- -- -- -- but they can't get any answers but here are the names what do you want President Obama to do.
All right when there is such as more federal assistance which we do need those -- you argue Army Corps of Engineers in larger numbers than they board their power back to Afghanistan to Iraq and they had a -- and yeah that's the extent of Clinton in fantasy that they did three of debate partition which plan helped get that back on but I -- -- larger federal presence in effect make light truck.
Coordinate that with with the federal plan and it's been in effect have a federal master plan and -- -- -- the -- itself to that because like you can't do -- on -- Let's move to the issue of Ben Ghazi as you know David Petraeus was set or release was called.
To just fine frat house investigators this week but he's now embroiled.
In this scandal and instead the acting CIA director Michael -- will go is that good enough.
No it's not among the intelligence committee Mike -- -- the chairman he'll make the final decision.
But my strong recommendation is General Petraeus has to testify if not this week -- as traumatic for him -- a great American.
But we can't find what happened -- -- -- -- -- -- -- David Petraeus testifies he was the center of at all he isn't absolutely essential witness -- a mature guy.
Good the fact is we have to have someone who was who -- is the largest piece in the puzzle.
Also -- secretary of state Hillary Clinton was asked to come in and speak but she says -- she has scheduled a scheduling conflict.
She will be going to Australia.
Is certain way to.
-- -- to answer questions and over doesn't come to that effective she also I believe ultimately have to testify.
Because was a state you have so many people on the ground State Department people on the ground CIA people on the ground or sending messages back to Washington on the night of the attack.
Also before the attack saying that there was none of security and -- -- he -- somebody coming -- talking points the Susan Rice who was directly in the chain of command.
With the state to Bob which turn out to be totally misleading -- that Secretary Clinton.
-- betrays both are actually essential witnesses.
Are you one of the people who finds the timing of David Petraeus is resignation.
Fishy or do you think this is just an unfortunate confluence of events for him.
I have a hard time believing this whole story first of -- how -- email issue becomes an FBI Matta.
How was investigated for so many months how -- wasn't until election night.
That the FBI suddenly realized that it -- David Petraeus if they're investigating -- for three or four months notably the first thing you know they would have found out.
If they did find it out picture -- immediately put into the president's attention.
As a matter of national security so none of this adds up that that if it does it's the most amazing said -- coincidences I've ever heard of.
Lot of questions answered concentrator king thanks so much rebellion that -- -- great to see you are still.

The Solar Impulse team has indefinitely delayed the aircraft's return flight over the Strait of Gibraltar due to unexpected strong high and middle altitude winds.
Solar impulse's HB-SIA prototype, piloted by Bertrand Piccard, was scheduled to depart from Rabat-Salé International airport (Morocco) Tuesday, reconnecting Africa to Europe. The Flight Director made this decision after a final debriefing session in Payerne (Switzerland) with the Solar Impulse Mission team. The intercontinental leg of the Africa to Europe journey has been deferred due to an unexpected degradation in the meteorological conditions. The medium and high altitude winds have unexpectedly shifted, triggering the Mission team to revise their strategy.
The team said that, given HB-SIA's design and its prototype status, wind speed and turbulence cannot exceed a predefined safety limit. The Flight Director and his team have come to the conclusion that it is safer to wait for more favorable weather conditions and have therefore postponed the Rabat to Madrid flight until further notice. Solar Impulse will communicate via its website on any new developments on this leg of the flight.
Solar Impulse flew to Morocco at the request of that country's King to participate in the groundbreaking for a massive solar-thermal power plant. The airplane and its team made numerous appearances throughout the country. The trip to Morocco was the first over-water flight for the aircraft, which the team hopes to fly around the world in 2014.

VAT; did Osborne choose the wrong option?
A flurry of snow triggered mass panic this morning. The fact that the December freeze was the worst for a century has not dispelled the paranoia and the chicken and ferret keepers alike see convinced that we will get another dose before the daffodils break surface. And you know what they say about being paranoid, it doesn't follow that there isn't something awful awaiting you. But for now a calm order has been restored and we were able to moan about something other than the Council's invisible gritters. And what more topical subject could there be than VAT?
A couple of the gang once earned their crusts in accountancy and they are amazed that Osborne's defence of the VAT hike has gone unchallenged. His case is that cash must be found to slash the deficit and no one is likely to dispute that. It is his argument that the only alternatives were National Insurance contributions or income tax rises. Rubbish is the view of my numerate pals. They contend that the chancellor is pandering to the powerful and by so doing has scored an own-goal. The VAT rise is unpopular and it will damage any green shoots of economic recovery. He is said to be cutting 500,000 jobs in the public sector, the VAT rise will make replacement posts in the private sector far less likely.
According to John and Alec the alternative was clearly to tackle the powerful, all the signs point to the coalition being scared of the big-spending lobbyists and particularly those in the financial sector. A couple of threatening speeches from Osborne and Cable were met with a barrage of threats about financiers heading for other countries and, hey presto, all is forgiven. The bonus tax levied by Alastair Darling was described at the time by most experts as too soft but compared with what is happening now Darling was the equivalent of Attilla the Hun.
Yesterday was a generally bad day for Mr Osborne. He returned from his widely criticised luxury Swiss ski break, which suggested limited self understanding, to find most of the national papers carrying adverts which portrayed him as 'the Artful Dodger', a campaign launched not by the Labour party but by the '38 Degrees' group which is non-political, already boasts 250,000 members, and alleges that the Chancellor's family avoided £1.6 m.in tax Then he got himself into an awful knot in trying to explain why he believes that VAT is 'progressive' yet David Cameron sees it as 'very regressive'.
Regressive indeed and the money that ministers are asking the public to raise could be raised in five minutes by calling the bluff of the richest section of the business community. So long as they shy away from this confrontation, and instead hammer the poorer sections of society, there will be widespread dissatisfaction. Few of us have the expertise of people like John and Alec but we know enough to realise that what is happening with banks is equivalent to pardoning the Great Train Robbers, letting them keep their loot, and applying a levy on everyone else to make up for the cash stolen.
The bankers have walked away from the debacle they caused scot free, with almost a trillion pounds of public money in their pockets. There was not so much as a compulsory lending ratio on their books. And the bankers rejoice. The big four are soon to reveal that some 200 in each of them earned over a million pounds last year. They have also rewarded themselves with personal bonuses of £7 billion over Christmas. That alone represented two fingers to the public and three times the money to be raise by the VAT rise.
There is no VAT or other transaction tax on banks. Money that properly belonged to share-holders and, in many cases, taxpayers , simply walked off the premises. It is as if a state-subsidised car manufacturer decided to allow its employees to take home half a dozen cars each Christmas!
Many of the cuts being applied by this government are justified for the waste of the previous regime was horrifying. Need an example? The multi-billion pounds NHS IT system that never worked will do to be going on with. But Osborne has fallen at an important fence. He needed to win over the public, to prove that we are truly all in this together. Visit any of the central London bars where the financial people gather and you will hear the popping of champagne corks.
They simply cannot believe that they have got away with it. And neither can the rest of us!
England ended the day in a strong position at the Sydney Test. It is hard to know who to praise most in what has to be the fittest and most talented England team for many a year. The only slightly sad thing is that Paul Collingwood is nearing the end of his illustrious Test career, but there are a number of execellent young replacements waiting in the wings.
Australia seem to lack any back-up and, with the exception of the one brilliant spell by Mitchell Johnson, have looked a poor outfit. And that isn't what devotees of Test cricket wanted to see. Yes, we longed for a winning series but we now worry about the effect of huiliation on Australian support through the turnstyles over the next few years. I worked in Australia and was surpirised to learn that not everyone down under is a cricket fan. Many are but I often sensed that the attraction was the regualar display of Aussie invincibility.
If the team continues for several years to look born losers will the support hold up? One prays so for already attendances at Test cricket in most of the other cricketing nations is falling away sharply. In India the crowds now turn out mainly for one-day cricket, Pakistan has real problems, West Indies have lost most of their support and even South Africa is seeing a swing to one-day.
The lifeblood of Test cricket has always been the Ashes but it is hard to see other than one-sided games for some time to come.
But our side can only play what is fielded against them and they have been magnificent.

A year ago, Bureau County enjoyed record high temperatures pushing into the upper 70s throughout the week. Summer seemingly came before spring.
While a warming trend over the weekend has reduced the white blanket of snow that covered North Central Illinois to scattered snow piles and shrinking snowmen, the playing fields remain a soggy surface, days from being playable.

Organization Representing Physicians Tackles Pay Issues
- Categorized in: August 2010
WASHINGTON, DC—Many federal physicians do not feel they are adequately paid, but also may not be aware of the pay policies of their respective agencies, a survey conducted by the Federal Physicians Association (FPA) found.
The FPA, an organization representing federal physicians, conducted an online survey over a two-year period to find out about the experiences of federally employed physicians. More than 900 federal physicians participated.
The survey found that 83% of participants were satisfied, mostly satisfied, or very satisfied with their jobs. However, 54% of participating physicians have considered leaving federal service before becoming eligible for retirement.
When it comes to pay issues, inadequate pay was cited as the top problem facing physicians. Almost 62% of respondents either had never seen their agency's physician pay policy or didn't know if their agency had a policy.
When respondents were asked the amount of total maximum annual pay, including special pay, a physician could receive, almost 60% of survey respondents indicated that the maximum pay was less than $176,001. In fact, according to the FPA, agencies with Title 38 pay systems are authorized to pay up to $400,000 a year.
Survey participants were mostly from HHS, Army, BoP, and the Department of State and most were civil service appointees paid under either the Physicians Comparability Allowance (PCA); Physician Special Pay (PSP); or Title 38, the Department of Veterans Affairs pay system.
The survey findings were published in the May 2010 issue of FPA's newsletter, Federal Physician.
Representing Physicians
FPA manager Dennis Boyd said that the association is interested in helping federal physicians navigate pay issues. "It is the only organization whose single concern is pay and benefits for federal physicians."
Formed in 1979 as a nonprofit professional association, the FPA successfully lobbied Congress to increase the PCA, money that an agency may pay physicians for whom the agency has recruitment and retention problems.
The FPA currently has 250 members and would like to grow its membership and clout. The group is planning to elect new board members and a president who will shape their agenda.
For example, the FPA would like to get the law changed to mandate the Office of Personnel Management to expand its annual PCAreport to provide additional information on Title 38 pay and other types of pay that civilian federal physicians are entitled to receive.
FPA is also interested in how conversion of DoD civilian physicians and dentists to a modified GS system incorporating Title 38 pay would affect their compensation. Boyd said that the FPA is seeking to obtain information about how that system would determine physician pay, such as what parts of Title 38 would actually be modified.
An important FPA goal is finding out which surveys are being used to calculate market pay for a physician in a particular geographic region, which is one of the elements of Title 38 pay. "We would like to know which physician pay surveys are being used by VA and FDA now, and which ones will be used by DoD when it implements Title 38."
Boyd said that physicians interested in becoming FPA members can find out more information on the organization and the issues it is interested in at www.fedphy.com. Members can also access current pay policies by agency on the website.

I have been an employee of the Veterans administration for many years.
I am not clear if I am paid fairly or equally since there is no transparency in the system. From my own experience I know that my colleagues could get pay much more than me, though we do the same job.
I have never been informed how to find out about the appropriate pay for my job. We are informed about the pay scale but I know it is only a platform to start.
From my own experience, I know that there can be and there is a lot of variation in the pay for the same position, beyond the pay for seniority and such.
I would like to know if this is a similar sentiment, among other VA employees.
Thank you.
Should pay-for-performance be used to improve healthcare quality at the VA?

What caused the Iranian 1979 revolution to become Islamic?
@PersianCat both shah were anti-Islam and anti-Shia. Iran revolution did not happen at once. it had roots in many years past. and Muslim people hated both Shad. they had only difference in tactics. the son Shad when saw can not father Hijab by law like his father fought it by propagating anti-Hijab culture by supporting making movies, music, dancers and other cultural methods. |

@user37324 google to see news about 12,000 signature petition against hijab ban in Turkey. this is lie? I have seen the pic of corrupted Ayatollahs kissing hand of shah. so what? who made Islamic revolution against shah? Khomeini never was kissing shah. I do not deny corrupted Ayatollah exist. evidence: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chador " Reza Shah banned the chador and all hijab in 1936". I did not say the son Shah banned Hijab. I said only Shah and you confused. but both were anti Islam. only different methods. I am not liar. |

@user37324 what? I am Iranian. shah banned Hijab. only google words: shah ban hijab. Ayatollahs were and are very popular and people love and obey them. so shah always showed as if is supporting them to get popular in people. women were not free to wear Hijab in a duration. shah was anti Islam even when saw can not ban hijab and stopped its ban. Be just and do some research before writing distorted history. |

Iran: Zoroastrianism and Islam
attack of Muslims to Iran was leaded b Omar who is not recognized as a legal Caliph by shia Muslims. after death of Islam some hijacked power and Ali S.A. real successor of prophet and real Caliph selected by God was not in power. attack of Umar to Iran is not an Islamic action in view of Shia Muslims. Iranians selected Islam before attack of Arabs and it is not related to any military. current Yemen was part Persia of that time and Yemen people converted Muslims before attack of Arabs by reasoning and logic. Yemen is a proof that Iranians did not accept Islam by sword. |

Although she's just a puppy, Peaches the pit bull already has quite a life story to tell. She was near death when found by a Washington County Sheriff's Deputy in July 2008. The deputy was following a man who was acting suspiciously. That's when the Deputy found Peaches—trapped in a kennel, dumped in a ditch on a deserted road. She had been severely abused with bites and burns on her body. Doctors at our Woodbury facility treated her painful wounds, and eventually Peaches went to the adoption floor. That was right when Brenda was looking for a dog as a companion for her sons.
To see Peaches today, you would never know that she had been through such trauma. She is a bouncy, happy puppy who greets everyone with a big, wet, sloppy kiss. She shows off her belly as she begs for a rub. Her bruises have all healed, and there are no longer any signs of abuse. Brenda says Peaches never shows signs of any behavioral problems. She's just like any other happy dog—always wanting to snuggle and play. She could be the poster child for what great pets pit bulls can be when they are loved. The man who admitted to abusing Peaches faces felony charges.
