DAMASCUS, Syria – Syria's government and rebels traded accusations of a chemical attack Tuesday on a northern village near Aleppo.
The regime, whose allegation was backed by ally Russia, said 25 people were killed.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. is looking carefully at allegations that both sides are using chemical weapons, but he added that officials have so far seen no evidence to confirm the claims on either side.
The reports could not be independently verified by reporters because of tight media restrictions, particularly in government-controlled areas which are virtually shut to all foreign media and outside observers.
If confirmed, it would be the first known use of chemical weapons in the 2-year-old civil war.
One of the international community's top concerns since fighting began is that Syria's vast arsenal of chemical weapons could be used by one side or the other or could fall into the hands of foreign jihadist fighters among the rebels or the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is allied with the regime.
The accusations emerged only a few hours after the opposition to President Bashar Assad elected a prime minister to head an interim government that would rule areas seized by rebel forces from the regime.
The Syrian regime said at least 25 people were killed and 86 wounded, some in critical condition, in a missile attack on the village of Khan al-Assal near the city of Aleppo.
State-run news agency SANA published pictures showing casualties, including children, on stretchers in what appears to be a hospital ward. None showed signs of physical injuries.
Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi called it the "first act" of the newly announced opposition interim government.
Rebels quickly denied the report and accused regime forces of firing the chemical weapon.
The head of Syria's main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, said the group was still investigating the alleged chemical attack near Aleppo.
"Everyone who used it, we are against him, whatever he is," Mouaz al-Khatib told reporters in English in Istanbul. "We are against killing civilians using chemical weapons, but let us wait some time to have accurate information."
The regime has not said that rebels have been able to seize any chemical weapons "so we assume that the opposition does not possess such weapons," said Mustafa Alani, an analyst with the Gulf Research center in Geneva.
"I would not rule out that the military would use chemical weapons and try to pin it on the rebels," Alani said.
"The only strategy that this regime has been left with is character assassination of the opposition and blame the rebels for all the bad things that are happening in the country."
Syria's policy has been not to confirm or deny if it has chemical weapons. But in July, then-Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi told a news conference that Syria would only use chemical or biological weapons in case of foreign attack, not against its own people.
The ministry then tried to blur the issue, saying it had never acknowledged having such weapons.
But the regime is believed to possess nerve agents as well as mustard gas. It also possesses Scud missiles capable of delivering them, and some activists said Tuesday's attack was with a Scud missile.
The minister al-Zoubi said the missile containing "poisonous gases" was fired from Nairab district in Aleppo into Khan al-Assal.
The reported attack was in an area just west of the city of Aleppo that had seen fierce fighting for weeks before rebels took over a sprawling government complex there last month.
The facility included several military posts and a police academy that Assad's forces have turned into a military base that regularly fires shells at nearby villages.
In comments made to the pro-government Al-Ikhbariya TV station, the information minister held the international community responsible for arming the rebels and described this as a "dangerous escalation."
"This is the first act by the government announced in Istanbul," he said.
Overnight, Syria's opposition coalition elected Ghassan Hitto, a little-known American-educated IT manager to head an interim government to administer areas seized by rebel forces from Assad's troops.
In his first speech after his election, Hitto ruled out dialogue with the regime.
"We confirm to our people that there is no place for dialogue with the Assad regime," he said in a speech to media and members of the opposition Syrian National Coalition in Istanbul.
He said the interim government will be headquartered in rebel-held territories in northern Syria and urged international recognition for the new entity.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said rebels detonated a weapon containing an unidentified chemical agent early Tuesday in the province of Aleppo, calling it an "extremely dangerous" development.
It said that evidence of rebels getting hold of weapons of mass destruction had taken the confrontation to a new stage. Russia has been a main ally of Assad's regime since the start of the uprising, in which more than 70,000 have died.
Anti-regime activists denied the government allegations of using chemical weapons.
An activist in Khan al-Assal said rebels had recently seized much of the village including a facility that housed a military academy.
The Aleppo Media Center, affiliated with the rebels, said there were cases of "suffocation and poison" among civilians in Khan al-Assal after a surface-to-surface missile was fired at the area. It said in a statement the cases were "most likely" caused by regime forces' use of "poisonous gases."
An activist in Aleppo province who identified himself as Yassin Abu Raed, not his real name, confirmed the attack and said there were at least 40 cases of suffocation in the area and several deaths.
But he said no details were available as casualties were being taken to a government-controlled area in Aleppo.
Abu Raed declined to give his real name because of security concerns.
He said it did not make sense for the rebels to fire a chemical weapon at an area they had recently seized, and accused the government instead.
"Why would the Free Syrian Army bomb themselves with a chemical weapon?" he asked.
He said casualties were taken to a hospital in a government-controlled area in Aleppo which is sealed off.
As rebels make gather momentum with the capture of military bases and other strategic sites, concerns have mounted over the security of the chemical weapons arsenal.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said recently that the longer the war goes on, the greater the danger of its institutions collapsing and extremists getting their hands on chemical weapons arsenal.
Karam reported from Beirut. Barbara Surk in Beirut, Ben Hubbard in Istanbul and Vladimir Ishenkov in Moscow contributed to this report.

After last nights Epic match between Chelski and Barca I was wondering what my favourite matches I have ever seen would be in a top 5?
Not limited to being AT the match this time....what are your 5 favourite matches.
In no particular order -
1) Liverpool 3 - 3 (Champions League Final 2005)
2) Barcelona 2 - 2 Chelsea (Champions League Semi Final 2012)
3) Liverpool 9 - 0 Crystal Palace (Division 1 1989 - and I was in there)
4) Liverpool 4 - 0 Brentford (FA Cup 1988 - and I was in there)
5) Liverpool 3 - 3 West Ham (Fa Cup Final 2006 - and I was there)
Number 4 may seem a weird one, but I just remember it being one of my favourite games of football...Brentford were brilliant in the first 30 minutes and I remember Andy Sinton (and Cadette?) being awesome and so unlucky...but then we just battered them in the end.
Also I remember Crystal Palace like it was yesterday, I am sure they missed a penalty in the first 5 mins down at the KOP end and I was stood right behind the goal...they would have been 1-0 up...but in the end it was obviously a one sided match (and yet for the first 30 minutes it was such a tight game at 1-0!!!)
I was also at Villa Park for the FA Cup Semi Final that season and still don't understand how we got beaten 4-3 by the same team!!! ARGHGH!

in response to greenalltheway:
Its ranchers wanting to sell off to developers for big profits?
Really, where? Since development only occurs in cities per the orderly development agreement, where are the applications for development. Ojai, Ventura and Oxnard have general plans, land use elements, zoning codes and EIRs that dont show any development areas and LAFCO isnt got any applications for development so wheres the massive projects?
Im not aware of any subdivisions being proposed of any massive size.
maybe there is a general feeling of anti business that businesses, ranchers, farmers and employees were concerned about? Possible?
So you're making a purely emotional argument, then? You don't like the way Steve Bennett supporters look at you? Your feelings are hurt? Come on.
Why do *you* think a bunch outside-of-Ventura-County big developers gave so much money to the Roper campaign? Philosophical reasons? We're not all stupid.
We love farms and ranches and local produce. We want to make it easier for ranchers to make a living and provide great produce.
But we're not about to let corrupt, pension-spiking politicians change the zoning laws on farms and ranches to allow big development. It's pretty simple.

Real People. Real Advice. It's the Maine Thing.
Exceptional Eating
When I tell people I live in Maine, they usually respond with "Do you live near Portland?" We hear Portland has great restaurants!" And indeed they are right. Portland is a hot restaurant city. So are Camden, Rockland and many other spots throughout the state. The trouble of course, is keeping up with it all— not to mention paying for all that good food.
Maine Restaurant Week to the rescue. From March 1-10, dozens of Maine's best restaurants will offer special prix-fixe menus. Depending on the restaurant, the most you'll pay is $22, $32 or $42 for a three-course dinner.
The way I see it? This is a great 10-day period to try some of those restaurants you've been hearing others rave about. Have you tried Carmen at the Danforth? Chef Carmen Gonzalez is a force of nature. This Puerto Rican native has a refined Latin style that translates beautifully to the dining room of The Danforth Inn. Her pulled pork in a rum-based barbecue sauce on top of crispy green plantains with a green papaya slaw is extraordinary. The bacaloa (salt cod) fritters are crispy and moist. And the warm roasted beet salad, with crispy bacon, escarole and Cabrales cheese redefines root vegetables.
I also want to get back to Francine Bistro in Camden, and try Solo Bistro in Bath. In Portland, I plan to try Petite Jacqueline, David's, Back Bay Grill and Bar Lola. It's going to be a busy 10 days of eating.

You've seen houses with pumpkins in the windows and skeletons hanging from the trees, but you may never have seen such elaborate displays as the ones constructed by Victor Bariteau, Manny Souza, and Matthew and Richard Brodeur. On their lawns, corpses rise from graves, skeletons dance, dead victims hang from wrecked cars, ghosts float and eerie music haunts the air. In some cases, there are "tours" with scary blasts of air and grotesque faces popping out of the dark.
These displays are a labor of love, presented for free, although we discover that the haunted house hobby has inspired a small industry, annual conventions and inspirational talks by haunters. When Victor Bariteau's IT job is outsourced and he gets a year's severance, he decides to invest the whole amount in creating Ghoulie Manor, a year-round attraction, even while admitting that people who have tried similar ventures tell him not to count on making any money.
All three families have cluttered home workshops in which they make ghastly masks, animated props and yawning graves. They also haunt, if that is the word, local garage sales. What looks like a shabby old sofa to you may look to these guys like it belongs in a creepy Victorian parlor.
This all costs a fair amount of money, although Bariteau enlists the labor of neighbors, ordering them around like an impatient drill sergeant. The father-and-son team of Matthew and Richard Brodeur are a mystery; there's no hint of how they earn their income, if any, and although Matthew's wife seems affectionate, she also seems mystified.
Most enthusiastic are Bariteau's wife and one of his daughters, who helps him paint and nail. Wandering around his almost-finished yard one year, a few days before D-Day of Halloween, he thinks one day they may remember their participation fondly. "And if they don't, they can throw out all this stuff. I won't need it anymore."

Plant tropical angels' trumpet, and you'll soon be singing its praises. These striking flowers come in a variety of forms and attract plenty of attention. They unfurl captivating, showy, bell-shaped blooms that are 6 to 12 inches long, and flower prolifically from spring to autumn. One word of caution, however. Angels' trumpets belongs to the nightshade family and is highly toxic. Keep the plant away from young children and pets, and gardeners should wear gloves to prevent contact with the plant's sap.
Common Names: Angels' trumpets, moonflower, datura.
Botanical Name: Brugmansia.
Hardiness: Annual in most areas.
Bloom Time: Late spring to autumn, varies by species.
Size: Typically 3 to 12 feet high and 3 to 8 feet wide.
Flowers: Trumpet-shaped flowers in white, yellow, apricot, pink, and red.
Light Needs: Full sun.
Growing Advice: Sow seed in spring, or root cuttings in summer.
Prize Picks: Betty Marshall is a favorite white. Charles Grimaldi has gorgeous golden flowers.
This cheerful garden annual thrives on neglect. Once nasturtiums are established, they perform best when left alone, and provide vibrant color from spring through frost.
Since they flourish in poor soil, overwatering or adding fertilizer can actually diminish their beauty. They are so resilient they can withstand severe pruning—some gardeners cut back the large veined leaves for a better view of the sweet-scented blooms.
There are many varieties to choose from, with some growing in compact mounds, and others climbing to 10 feet with the support of a trellis or fence.
Common Name: Nasturtium, Indian cress.
Botanical Name: Tropaeolum majus.
Hardiness: Annual in all zones.
Bloom Time: Early summer until frost.
Size: Climbing varieties reach 10 feet, dwarf varieties form mounds that are up to 15 inches tall; 12 to 24 inches wide.
Flower: Bright yellow, red, cream, apricot, and salmon.
Light needs: Full sun.
Growing Advice: Sow directly in most garden after last frost. Plant 3/4-inch deep and 8 to 12 inches apart. Thin plants as they become crowded.
Prize Picks: The Alaska series has variegated leaves with creamy speckles. Whirlybird's flowers appear above its leaves and provide a brilliant display.
This enchanting vine is grown as an annual. Related to the morning glory, moonflower vine has big, trumpet-shaped bright white flowers and deep green leaves. The attractive white flowers will emerge at dusk and last until dawn. No wonder it's called the moonflower!
Common Names: Moonflower vine, Belle de nuit.
Botanical Name: Ipomoea alba.
Hardiness: Annual.
Bloom Time: Midsummer.
Size: Up to 15 feet high.
Flower: White.
Growing Advice: Grows slowly in cooler weather, so be patient.
Prize Picks: Try Giant White, with its big 6-inch blooms and rich scent.
This fragrant flower is easy to grow and provides a season's worth of cut flowers. In fact, sweet peas perform best if you harvest bouquets often. Like the garden peas, sweet peas prefer the cooler weather of spring and early summer, gradually declining under hot August skies.
Common Names: Sweet pea.
Botanical Name: Lathyrus odoratus.
Bloom Time: Varies by region; spring and summer through early autumn.
Size to 12 feet high.
Flower color: Variety of colors including pink, purple, salmon, blue, red and white.
Light Needs: Full sun to partial shade.
Growing Advice: Plant presoaked seeds 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart in garden, or start seeds indoors and transplant outside after about 6 weeks.
Prize Picks: Royal Mix and Old Spice Mix are fragrant and heat tolerant. Also recommended: Captain of the Blues, which is prized for its lavender to purple flowers.
Each stem of a sweet William will make a complete bouquet! This beauty if a native to Europe, but has adapted to regions all over the United States. Enjoy sweet William blooms in pink, white, red, purple, and sometimes even bicolors.
Common Names: Sweet William.
Botanical Name: Dianthus barbatus.
Hardiness: Perennial, but performs as an annual.
Bloom Time: Late spring to early summer.
Size: 4 to 28 inches high, up to 12 inches wide.
Flowers: Purple, red, pink, white, and sometimes bicolored.
Growing Advice: Plant in rich, well-draining soil and be careful not to overwater.
Prize Picks: You'll love the sweet fragrance of cut flowers from the Electron Mix, which blooms in clusters of red, pink, and white. Magic Cherry has headily scented blooms of magenta and cherry.

At St. Mary's Animal Clinic, veterinarians Drs. Joshua Fender and Tom Allen join their dedicated support staff in ensuring the health of furry family members. Dr. Allen's specialty in veterinary medicine pairs with Dr. Fender's focus on small-animal surgery, enabling a comprehensive list of treatments for dogs and cats. The duo examines eyes and teeth, vaccinates against disease, spays and neuters, and tracks health issues through blood work at in-house facilities and University of Arizona veterinary-diagnostics laboratories. Grooming services are also available to keep coats healthy and let pets try out new hairdos they read about in Vogue.
As an avid animal lover, it was only natural that Anne Donnellan should create a haven of hospitality for many types of pets, united only by their lack of opposable thumbs. As owners embark on vacations or business travels, dogs luxuriate in deluxe suites, and cats lounge in a comfy cattery rife with perches, hiding spots, and lambskin bedding. Boarding accommodations for rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, and birds keep creatures of all stripes happy while owners are away. During grooming sessions, animal-loving specialists clean coats with natural shampoos and conditioners and clean ears so dogs can more thoroughly enjoy the sounds of their favorite dog-whistle orchestras.

Dario and Belen were amazing ! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. I definitely recommend this place. The rooms are clean and quite comfortable.

Please restrain your dog. I know he doesn´t mean harm but he could become aggressive towards other guests in the future. Otherwise, this was my favorite hostel so far...ever.

This place is amazing. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Belin and her family are so welcoming and friendly, she took the time to get to know me and and check that I had plans for my trip. Room was clean and comfortable, good heating! Nice free breakfast in the morning. Good location - 2 blocks from the main street. Good free wifi. I would stay here again in a flash!

"If such cyclical travel increases, there are opportunities and dangers for both countries — opportunity in the sense that those going back may have the resources to start businesses in Cuba; danger in the sense that the returnees could be sources of dissatisfaction and change,'' said Robert Pastor, an international relations professor at American University and national security advisor for Latin America during the Carter administration.
Looking back to events such as the Camarioca boatlift in 1965, the Mariel boatlift and the rafter exodus in 1994 when tens of thousands of Cubans fled the island, Pastor said, "immigration has always been not only a way to release pressure in Cuba but also an instrument pointed at the United States to put this country in a defensive position.''
Some analysts say Cuba may hope its new travel stance will pressure the United States to liberalize its own travel policy toward the island as well as take another look at the Cuban Adjustment Act. In addition to Cuban Americans, the United States permits only limited categories of other Americans to visit Cuba, such as those on people-to-people exchanges or for specific purposes such as humanitarian missions or academic trips. Travel for tourism is prohibited.
The Cuban Adjustment Act may well come up during the expected debate on immigration reform in the United States, said Sweig. "There is a good amount of resentment among other Hispanics over the Cuban migrant preference,'' she said. "If we can create a safe, legal, regular way for undocumented people to stay here, the Cuban carve-out may stand out in a more glaring way.''
Cuba's new travel policy comes at a time when hundreds of thousands of Cubans have traveled to the island in recent years and attitudes toward travel are shifting.
For some Cuban exiles in South Florida, the memories are too bitter and too many years have passed for them to personally consider visiting Cuba, but they say that doesn't mean others shouldn't go.
"For those of us who arrived here in the early days of exile and are now entering into the third age, Cuba will always be an inconsolable memory,'' said Felipe Fernandez, a 78-year-old attorney in Miami. "However, I understand that those who were born and grew under socialism may like to go back and forth; in a very real sense, that is their country."
Rather than limiting travel, Fernandez thinks the U.S. should lift its restrictions: "At this point, I believe that anyone who wants to visit Cuba should be entitled to go. Let's just hope that Americans who visit Cuba are alert enough to perceive that underneath the prepared welcome mat for visitors lies one of the most repressive and totalitarian governments on earth.''
But other longtime exiles say they have mixed feelings about freer travel for all Americans.
"On the one hand, I believe strongly in the freedom that our system of government affords us and as such I'm against any travel restrictions for our citizens,'' said Jose Gomez, 65, a Miami retiree who left Cuba when he was 13. "However, I personally object to providing this dictatorship with the currency it seeks from American tourists.''

As previous reviewer stated this mattress has a tough exterior that is very noisy when moved. It feels very plastic-y and wrinkles easily. It is definitely better than the pad supplied with the mini crib, but still has a lot of room for improvement. It has sagged quite significantly in the middle with only four months of use. My daughter does not seem comfortable on it any longer and it will have to be replaced. Unfortunately there are no other choices for mattresses of this size. Da Vinci seems to be the only manufacturer.

By deedeero
from Cape Cod, MA
I've read theses reviews of people wishing there was a thicker mattress and there is: the Da Vinci Crescent Mini Crib Mattress. It's 6". I'm in the market for a mini crib and was discouraged reading what others had to say about the thinness of the other mattress but was excited when I found this one! Let's hope it's as good as it says it is!

More like a mattress pad
By NYCMOM
from New York, NY
I'm surprised at the flimsiness of this mattress for the price. It's basically like a thick 3in mattress pad. When you put a sheet on it, it squishes it down at the corners and sides so that there's a significant gap between the crib sides and the mattress. It also makes alot of noise everytime my daughter moves on it. I will be trying the Da Vinci Crescent 50 Coil Mini Mattress- hopefully will be better.

Mattress is not worth the money paid. Unfortunately, you're stuck buying the mattress if you want a smaller size crib as there are no other alternatives.

ELEPHANT SEAL colony at A¿o Nuevo became established in the 1960s. The seals had been nearly wiped out in the previous century by hunters seeking blubber for oil. Protected since the 1920s, elephant seals now thrive along the Pacific coast.
Image: Frank S. Balthis
It is not often that you can get close to a red-necked, huge-nosed, bellowing, two-and-a-half-ton, 14-foot-long behemoth and his cronies--particularly if he is in the midst of courtship or fighting off a foe. But at A¿o Nuevo State Reserve, a 4,000-acre park on California's rough and rocky coast, such privileged views are common. Thousands of northern elephant seals haul out along the beaches at different times of year, providing visitors with an up-close-and-personal look at the lives of these mammoth creatures and of other ocean-dwelling mammals as well.
A¿o Nuevo is a beautiful spot, regardless of what you come to see or when you come to see it. The elephant seal beaches, and one of the few remaining true sand dunes in this region, lie at the far end of long, wide fields and some shrubby enclaves--roughly a mile and a half from the entrance of the reserve. This low vegetation is a raptor lover's haven, hunted by northern harriers, red-tailed hawks, Cooper's hawks, golden eagles, white-tailed kites and American kestrels, among others. Indeed, because of the varied habitats in the park--and because it falls along the Pacific flyway, a major migration route--some 240 species of birds can been found at A¿o Nuevo over the course of the year.

Nose Enhancement Surgery
A natural-looking nose that is in balance with your other facial features can improve your entire appearance. Cosmetic surgery of the nose is also called rhinoplasty. If you believe your nose does not properly fit your face, you might consider cosmetic surgery. We carefully customize each rhinoplasty procedure to the individual needs of the patient to produce natural-looking results.
Rhinoplasty can enhance the shape, size, and appearance of your nose. There are two types of rhinoplasty – a closed or open technique. A closed rhinoplasty does not require any external incisions. The open technique requires a small incision between the nostrils. With both techniques, the surgeon can alter the internal structures of the nose to achieve your desired look. There is minimal to no scarring with both techniques.
You may consider rhinoplasty if any of the following conditions apply:
- Your nose appears too large or too small for your face
- Your nose is off-center or misaligned
- A previous injury has made your nose asymmetrical
- There is a bump or depression on the nasal bridge when viewed in profile
- The nose seems too wide when viewed from the front
- The nasal tip droops or plunges
- The tip is disproportionately thick or enlarged
- The nostrils are excessively flared
- You have an airway obstruction that impairs breathing

One of the most apparent holes in many organizations is not having a proper disaster recovery (DR) plan. In fact, a recent study by the Disaster Recovery Preparedness (DRP) Council highlighted these findings, noting that about three quarters of enterprises do not have proper procedures in place to survive an emergency.

Today's workplace consists of an always-on, 24×7 workforce connected globally through the Internet. The new virtual workplace is powered by collaboration tools, mobile devices and cloud-based services.
April 8th, 2014 will bring a landmark change to the IT landscape with the end of support for one of the most successful operating systems in history: Windows XP. Most Microsoft products live on a 10-year support lifecycle, with five years of mainstream support followed by five years of extended support. XP has been supported a bit longer than the usual 10 years due to its success as a platform and the high number of organizations, just under 35 percent, that still maintain XP OS's within their organizations. The end of XP support has significant ramifications to those with XP instances still in production, and organizations need to begin the process of planning to migrate off of the XP platform if they haven't already.
With the release of SharePoint 2013, SharePoint Online became an attractive collaboration platform for many organizations. Not only does the option of a hosted solution minimize infrastructure planning to simplify the deployment process, the latest SharePoint Platform also introduces a myriad of additional benefits that lead to increased user adoption and productivity whether deployed On Premise, Online, or in Hybrid.
One of the recent trends of wireless that most affects how we design networks is how many devices are connecting to the network. It used to be wireless was mostly used by guests. Organizations didn't want guest users to plug into an Ethernet port on their network for various reasons. To accommodate those users, wireless was provided. Often, this wireless was segregated from the rest of the network.
Multiple windows are huge productivity killer for many users. Having to move from one application to another can cause confusion and inaccurate data entry, which leads to inaccurate forecasting and a decrease in revenue.
With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you have a very "flat" user interface that displays all related information in one screen. This allows the user to update data on multiple layers, such as adding activities to an account without having to open a separate window.
Do you have malware on your network? What about remote access tools? Are machines on your network connecting to a botnet? What about users visiting malicious web site? How do you even know? Odds are your current tools are not giving you a complete story about the malicious activity on your network. A recent Solera Networks report stated it took on average 80 days to detect a malicious breach and 123 days to resolve it. That is almost 3 months before the average breach was even discovered and another month before it could be removed. Why is this the case?
I'm hearing more and more conversations on extending Layer 2 domains between data centers. While this sounds easy, if done incorrectly this could cause devices to fail (firewalls and load balancers) and asymmetrical routing problems in your enterprise. To avoid these problems you must understand how your customers communicate to the data center. Extending Layer 2 domains is just a piece of a puzzle or part of a solution. When making any core infrastructure changes its key to understand the big picture so you can architect the most successful solution. Let's take a look at why you might want to extend Layer 2 domains and what is required.
89%, 80%, 77% and 97% are some really exciting numbers that HP wants you to know about.
What do they correspond to?
89% less energy, 80% less space, 77% less cost and 97% less complex.
We have been hearing all about BYOD for quite some time now and I still find it amazing that there are so many companies who haven't adopted a BYOD initiative yet. They need to prepare for the upcoming storm front that is quickly overtaking their IT organization's idea of a well organized ship that is moving forward into productivity.

Vadodara Johannesburg Lufthansa Airlines
Founded in 1926 in Berlin, following a merger between 'Deutsche Aero Lloyd' (DAL) and 'Junkers Luftverkehr', Lufthansa's original name was Deutsche Luft Hansa Aktiengesellschaft. The word 'Lufthansa' was adopted in 1933.Lufthansa fought the World War II in 1939, but was suspended following the defeat of Germany in 1945. Lufthansa, as a new entity was recreated on 6 January 1953 as Aktiengesellschaft f?r Luftverkehrsbedarf (Luftag) and was renamed Deutsche Lufthansa Aktiengesellschaft on August 6, 1954. On 1st April, 1955, Lufthansa resumed scheduled service within Germany, while international operations started on 15 May 1955, with flights to destinations in Europe, followed by service to New York.

The body of a missing Surry County, N.C., man was found on Dec. 7 near mile post marker 202 of the Blue Ridge Parkway.Grover Cleveland Davis, 76, had been missing since shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 5. Davis reportedly suffered from dementia or another cognitive impairment.Carroll County Deputy Cody Edwards found Davis lying on the ground at about 10:45 a.m. on Dec. 7 near the gold-colored 1994 Nissan Pathfinder he was reported driving."It looked as if Davis had turned around at some nearby cabins near the first overlook and tried to drive up a bank before getting stuck," said Carroll County Sheriff J.B. Gardner. "Davis was out of his car and definitely had been exposed to the elements."

That number grew to an all-time high of 600 families last year, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

Should the media (main stream) grow a set and persue the questions into delivery of an answer there would be less need for any shouting.
The politics of anger are better statged as the anger at politics. When people suffers financial devastation and there is little accountability their obvious conclusion is that the rules are heavily biased. So stating in particular cases that let's wait to see "if rules were briken" is smugness that feeds that anger - not a plea for calm.

Schroeder-Manatee Ranch is launching a new GPS checkout program this weekend.
Visitors to the Ranch's Information Center at 6220 University Parkway can now check out a GPS navigation unit or use their own system to input SMR's information to more easily find model homes and other amenities in the community.
The GPS units are marked with destination points within the community, including all model homes, area parks and schools, the Sarasota Polo Club, shopping areas and other destinations, said Leah Blair, public relations specialist for SMR.
"We understand that when someone hands you a map with 30 models listed, it can be very confusing," Blair said. "We just want to make it as simple as possible. Because the Ranch has grown so much and it is such a large area, it is kind of hard to navigate."
The program is free and guests can check out GPS systems using a credit card or driver license.
SMR has been working on the concept for the last few months and expects to add destination points in the coming months as it gets feedback from visitors, Blair said.
The information center is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday and from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday.

Lucky charms: These is scarcely one mature person in all of Ireland who would NOT be grossly insulted for being treated in such a patronizing,condescending manner as to ask him(her) about "lucky charms". Going north: Ireland is Ireland, North, South, East and West, and few, if any, U.S. credit cards cover collision waiver damage for rental cars in any part of that country.

I think that Temple Bar is a RIP OFF unless you don't mind spending 6 or 7 Euro for a Pint of Guinness(About 9 or 10 dollars). You do a lot better in the Pubs off Grafton Street (A few of them are still there that are mentioned in James Joyce's Ulysses.).

Dublin is to Ireland like NYC is to USA. I don't even go near the place anymore. It probably stems from the last time when I parked at Merrion Row and got booted (clamped) and had to cough up $80 plus to get disconnected and we waited an hour and a half for them to get there (I didn't pay the parking meter; didn't know) My complaints over the phone fell on deaf ears. No more big city Ireland for us. 35 years ago I saw the Book of Kells, went to the real Guinness Brewery and Moore St. market. I love the rest of the country and I don't need the hassle.

What absolute crap - apart from the picture of a pot-holed forest road , which should be treated with all the contempt it deserves!! Northern Ireland and Derry specifically, catch yourself on, Gee Wilma, look at the cute people dressed for halloween. This is a snapshot of Derry:
Our built heritage, including the Walled City: Ireland's oldest Cathedral St. Columb's, a history which dates back to St. Columba and our position as Ireland's first plantation City, Museum of Free Derry, the Guildhall and our
relationship with the London Guilds, the Apprentice Boys of Derry, all combining to contribute significantly to our cultural offerings.
One single example - St Columba's Church Long Tower
Although there has been a house of religion on the spot of Long Tower since the year 546, there was a time from about 1550 until 1786 when all that existed was a ruin, and Catholics had to worship in the open, exposed to the elements. From 1786 there has been a church here and in 1907 this was rebuilt and stands today as a most beautiful place of worship. There are 5 graveyards with the earliest known gravestone dating to 1758.This precinct is a must to visit for all visitors especially those wishing to trace their Roman Catholic ancestors from the city of Derry.
Please let someone have a look at the place, and NOT from outdated reference books. Thank you.

You're still doing just great! Suggestion: newcomers should not try to pronounce Irish names ... they won't be understood and will probably give the locals a good laugh ...

Romney was just another in a long line of nice losers for GOP
Mitt Romney now joins the long list of the kinds of presidential candidates favored by the Republican establishment— nice, moderate losers, people with no coherently articulated vision, despite how many ad hoc talking points they may have.
The list of Republican presidential candidates like this goes back at least as far as 1948, when Thomas E. Dewey ran against President Harry Truman. Dewey spoke in lofty generalities while Truman spoke in hard-hitting specifics.
Since then, there have been many re-runs of this same scenario, featuring losing Republican presidential candidates John McCain, Bob Dole, Gerald Ford and, when he ran for reelection, George H.W. Bush.

Reblogged from Papercutzz's Art
Dear Doctor,
I am not so good at writing feelings, even in my home tongue. My German is still in tiny baby stages and I do not know enough to tell you how I feel with that. My English is better, and we both understand this language, so I use this.
Once you told me not to let rage build up…
Aww man alksjfl those babies. I have such a soft spot for fics about their first confessions like this. ♥

Embargo On Cuba

DNC Chair: 'Unbelievable Oppression' In Cuba Makes Continuing Embargo Necessary
The leader of the Democratic National Committee says the U.S. embargo of Cuba should remain in place, in spite of recent reforms in the Communist island nation.
Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke before a crowd of over 500 people Friday at an event sponsored by the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches.
The DNC chair says it doesn't make sense to lift the embargo, in light of what she calls the "unbelievable oppression" in Cuba.
"I think there needs to be some progress and some willingness on the part of the Cuban regime to demonstrate that they want to join the community of nations that share our values," said Wasserman Schultz.
She acknowledged that Cuba has made some strides in the area of human rights; most notably, a new law allowing Cubans to travel abroad without an exit visa. But Wasserman Schultz says the measures don't go far enough to earn a trade relationship with the United States.
