HELENA - Governor Brian Schweitzer will pass the torch onto his successor, fellow Democrat Steve Bullock in just a few weeks.
Schweitzer is unlike any other governor; he sports a bolo tie and blue jeans, and his border collie Jag can usually be seen in the background following him around at events and press conferences.
He can be loud, a little snarky, and his folksy personality has become his trademark.
"I like to enjoy everything I do. I have enjoyed every minute of my life. Whether I was developing land in the Middle East or selling irrigation equipment around the world, or developing farms in Montana or growing wheat, or growing mint, or raising cattle or raising a family. I do it at full speed," Schweitzer said.
Looking back on his eight years as governor of Montana, Schweitzer says his biggest accomplishment is how he balanced the state's checkbook.
"What are the good times? The good times in retrospect is that we were just so good with money. People say, 'How the heck did you come through the Great Recession with the largest budget surpluses in history?' Well, we ran it like a ranch," he noted.
Schweitzer admits the job isn't always easy; he tears up remembering what it was like to console the families of fallen service members in the Montana National Guard.
"I can't say the things that a politician loves to say to a mother, or to a father, or to a daughter. You know, 'Your son died making this country more free,' because the Iraq war had nothing to do with that. So, I just hug them and I tell them I don't know why God chose your family for this."
At times the decisions as chief executive have weighed heavy on him, but he says he surrounded himself with an amazing staff and that's what he will miss most.
As far as his next move? He says he wants to get back into the business sector, but he isn't exactly sure what that looks like.
When asked if he sees politics in his future, Schweitzer replied, "Could be, but I doubt it. I doubt it because this is the greatest job to have in politics, to be a governor, to be in charge of a state, to be the CEO of a state. I couldn't be governor of another state. I can't be governor of Montana again. I probably wouldn't fit in in Congress or Washington D.C."
And will he slow down when he leaves office?
"Well, it hasn't slowed down since I've been 16 years old so I doubt it's going to slow down now. I love life. I love doing things, building things, fixing things, growing things and so I will continue on," Schweitzer replied.
Governor-elect Bullock will officially take the reigns from Schweitzer on January 7th.

Educating Jeremy
By Jeremy Bloom - SportingNews
Last week, the NCAA rejected Colorado's request to restore wide receiver Jeremy Bloom's eligibility. Bloom, who also is a standout freestyle skier, has battled the NCAA for the past two years to allow him to play for the Buffaloes while also accepting endorsements to fund his ski training. Bloom left Colorado's camp earlier this month and currently is training with the U.S. Ski Team near Santiago, Chile, in hopes of making the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. Colorado, which hoped to have Bloom aboard to add speed and needed experience at receiver, has appealed the decision.
I think I've been wrong about the caring folks at the NCAA all along. They have received way too much negative attention about their unwillingness to have an open mind concerning my unique athletic situation. As it turns out, their reasoning behind this decision has taught me some of the greatest lessons in my life.
I owe them an apology, and I hope that after reading this, you, too, will understand this was just a case of an immature and over-ambitious 20-year-old asking an organization to allow unacceptable and selfish circumstances.
Two years ago, I became a proud member of the 2002 Winter Olympics team and then won the World Cup overall title as a freestyle skier. Then, a few weeks later, the NCAA informed me that if it were to allow me to continue my financial means of paying for my trainer, nutritionist, physical therapist and agent for skiing, I would be endangering the core principle of amateurism as a college football player. Although at the time it seemed silly, looking back I believe they made the right call. It is true my relationship with those people would have been more damaging to the spirit of amateurism than, say, the University of Miami's relationship with star football recruit Willie Williams, who has been arrested 11 times since 1999.
So I took their advice and dropped all my legitimate ski-related sponsors and enrolled at the University of Colorado, where I became a proud member of the football program and the social science department.
Even though the NCAA denied multiple waivers to let me play football, at least it provided me with a lengthy and adequate response to why it felt the request was off-base. It read something like this: No.
That response helped me to understand the value of a simplistic and concise answer to a question. If my coach, Gary Barnett, would have taken this approach when asked if Katie Hnida was a good football player, he never would have put himself in a position of conflict and would likely not have been placed on administrative leave by university president Elizabeth Hoffman.
But that wasn't the end of my education by the NCAA. Before the first road trip of my collegiate career, Coach Barnett made it mandatory to wear a sport coat to the game. At the time I didn't own a sport coat, so I borrowed one from one of our trainers.
The following week, during my weekly phone call from our compliance office, someone informed me that, due to NCAA rules, I would be fined $35 for a "rental fee."
This is when I learned the NCAA holds a tight monopoly on the "rental business." In fact, it rents out college athletes every year. While I was in college, the NCAA rented me out to many different corporations and allowed me to play in endorsement-filled stadiums every week. The NCAA even allowed the university to sell a jersey with my school and my number on it in stores all over Colorado.
I didn't get any of the money that was generated by this service, but at least the NCAA paid for my schooling, right? Well, no. Actually, the NCAA didn't pay a penny of my scholarship, and the university only paid half. The other half came from my "personal scholarship donor," a private citizen who donates money to Colorado to fund student-athlete scholarships. Now that the NCAA is finished with me, it simply will dismiss me, just like it does with thousands of student-athletes every year. And why wouldn't it, when it has thousands of fresh-faced, new student-athletes every year who are eager to join the cycle?
While I was in college, the NCAA made more intelligent decisions than not. However, there was one decision that impacted someone else's life that is hard to forgive. Aaron Adair was a young man who battled brain cancer for a long portion of his life. He not only had enough heart to become part of the select few in the country to overcome the unthinkable disease, but he also possessed enough to make the University of Oklahoma's varsity baseball team.
Aaron wrote his own book while he was in college, intending to give other cancer patients hope they too could win their battles with the disease. After his book was published, the compassionate and understanding folks at the NCAA ended Aaron's dream of playing baseball because his name was attached to a "corporate product."
But life rolls on in the wonderful world of amateur athletics because the NCAA doesn't have to justify its decisions to anyone. They are the all-powerful people who make decisions that will have a positive impact on the "student-athlete."
All of the lessons I learned from this organization will make me a rich man. Eventually, I think I'll start my own amateur business. I not only will provide housing and a positive working environment, I also will teach my employees the benefits of working as a team. And though I'll be making millions running this business, I will sympathetically tell my employees that paying them would corrupt the purity of my business and their learning experience. If they try to support themselves in other ways I find inappropriate, I'll dismiss them.
And I'll laugh as I pull away in my Mercedes, because they're at my mercy, and I won't have to answer to anyone.

Lewis aims to bounce back from weird start
Lewis gave up six runs on five hits -- all home runs -- while striking out 12 Orioles in Thursday's loss. He said afterward that he felt he had some of his best stuff of the season, ultimately concluding that it was simply a "weird game."
"I thought I threw the ball well. I didn't give up a foul ball, a single or a double," Lewis said. "I gave up home runs. I gave up just five hits. I'm not worried about it. I still felt like I made my pitches."
One thing Lewis will have working in his favor Tuesday against the Royals: He's starting at home, where he is 2-0 with a 1.45 ERA in three outings this year. He finished 5-5 with a 5.54 ERA in 15 starts at home last year but pitched much better on the road, just the opposite of what he's done this season. He's not letting that statistical switch get to him, either.
"I was better in 2010, but who cares," Lewis said. "All I try to do is go out there and try to feel the same every start, which is hard to do. I'm trying to get guys out. I'm not worried about stats."
The Royals, meanwhile, are more worried about finding enough pitchers to fill out their injury-riddled starting rotation. Left-hander Jonathan Sanchez is on the disabled list with left biceps tendinitis, and he was joined Monday by lefty Danny Duffy, who seems to be headed toward season-ending Tommy John surgery. Duffy will be replaced by either Luis Mendoza or Nate Adcock.
But it will be right-hander Vin Mazzaro on the mound Tuesday night, making his first start of the season. He has made only one appearance, tossing a perfect inning on eight pitches Friday against the White Sox.
Mazzaro had a 1-0 record and 4.37 ERA in six starts with Triple-A Omaha before being called up Tuesday to solidify the bullpen with a long reliever. The 25-year-old was acquired from Oakland before the 2011 season in the deal that sent David DeJesus to the A's. He appeared in seven games (four starts) for Kansas City last year, posting a 1-1 record and 8.26 ERA.
Royals: Hosmer goes hitless in two-hole
Manager Ned Yost moved slugger Eric Hosmer into the second spot in the order Monday night, hoping he would see more pitches to hit and boost his sinking batting average. The move didn't pay immediate dividends, as he went 0-for-4 and saw his average drop to .174.
"If [leadoff hitter Jarrod] Dyson gets on, they're going to want to come after me and not let him steal the base," Hosmer said. "Then I've got Billy [Butler] protecting me, so hopefully it's a nice spot for me. So I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully, it'll turn us on, and maybe [I'll] stay there."
Mike Moustakas was back at third base Monday night after sitting out two games with a sore left hamstring. He went 1-for-4.
Rangers: Hamilton's bat sent to Hall
The bat that Josh Hamilton used to hit eight of his nine homers last week has been sent to the Hall of Fame. He became the 16th player to hit four homers in a game Tuesday with that bat.
"I probably could have taped it up and kept using it, but she died a hero," Hamilton said. "The crack was near my hand and it was just a hairline crack."
To no one's surprise, Hamilton was named the American League Player of the Week on Monday. He hit .467 with nine homers and 18 RBIs over his previous seven games. He went 1-for-3 with a walk Monday night, bringing his season average to exactly .400.
Mitch Moreland will get the start at first base Tuesday, and David Murphy will be in the outfield.
Worth noting
The Rangers announced their ticket availability for this week's games: 10,000 reserved seats remain for Tuesday night, 1,000 for Wednesday's game against the A's, while only obstructed view and scattered singles remain for Thursday afternoon's homestand finale.
Royals relievers have allowed just two earned runs and struck out 22 batters in their last 22 innings.

ABOUT TORNADOES: A tornado begins with a thunderstorm cloud, which can build up a lot of energy. If this energy creates a particularly strong updraft of air, it will form a vortex, much like how a whirlpool forms in a draining bathtub. The air is pulled toward the center in a spiral, forming a tornado under the thundercloud. Wind speeds can reach 200 to 300 MPH, and if the dangling vortex touches ground, the combination of the whirling wind's speed, the updraft, and pressure differences can cause severe damage. The path of a tornado is determined by the path of the parent thundercloud, but it will often appear to hop (called a "jumper"). This occurs when the vortex is disturbed, causing it to collapse momentarily and reform.
GRAVITY WAVES: Atmospheric gravity waves are similar to waves on the surface of the ocean, but they are in the air instead of on water. The waves are set in motion by a disturbance in the atmosphere such as a change in the wind speed or direction, a sudden updraft from a thunderstorm, or a change in the jet stream high in the atmosphere. Atmospheric gravity waves act just like the ripples around a rock thrown into a pond. Gravity keeps the waves rolling. When an atmospheric gravity wave meets a thunderstorm, it pushes down on it, which squashes it and makes it spin faster. This spinning storm is more likely to produce a tornado.
The American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, and the American Physical Society contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

Gary Schwartz, Chief of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Melanoma and Sarcoma Service, describes two recent studies of new treatments for types of sarcoma, rare cancers that can affect the bones or the body's soft tissues.
A recent phase II trial led by medical oncologist Mark Dickson focused on one of the most common types of sarcoma, called well-differentiated or de-differentiated liposarcoma, a more common type of sarcoma that originates in fat cells. The study was published online April 8 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The trial was of a drug called PD0332991 (palbociclib), which targets a protein called CDK-4. That protein is overexpressed in this type of sarcoma because of a gene amplification and leads to the growth of cancerous cells. The investigators found that 70 percent of the patients did not have their disease progress during that time, which greatly exceeded the researchers' expectations. In addition, some patients had significant shrinking of their tumors.
Another trial, published in the April issue of Lancet Oncology, was led by Dr. Schwartz. In that study, also a phase II trial, investigators combined an experimental drug called cixutumumab with temsirolimus (Torisel®), a drug already approved for some forms of kidney cancer, to treat several subtypes of bone and soft tissue sarcoma.
Cixutumumab is an antibody that targets a receptor on cancer cells known as IGF-1R. Temsirolimus blocks a cancer-related pathway called mTOR. Both IGF-1R and mTOR are critical for the growth of many sarcoma types.
The multicenter trial, which included 388 patients, found that the number of patients whose disease did not progress after 12 weeks of treatment was improved compared with other treatments. In addition, some patients with a type of sarcoma called solitary fibrous tumor had stable disease for more than a year. Patients with the subtypes Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma had partial shrinkage of their tumors.

I work on the interface of a 3d application.
As adviced by your last SDK, I just switch my 3d mouse implementation from 3DxInput method to RawInput method of windows.
It works well even without any driver installation : good !!!
Then I create a configuration for my application.
But this configuration is taken into account only if I edit the XML file by the hand and change the line "<Transport>KMJ</Transport>" to <Transport>RawInput</Transport>.
My customer cannot make this complex operation.
Is there any another way to make work rawinput method with the driver configuration more easily ?
Thanks for your answers.

"The biggest thing is introducing people to their neighbors," said Lecius. "It builds a sense of community and brings people together."
Many of the families who turned out for the event, which felt like a summer block party, seemed to agree.
"I think Nashua is very safe," said Mary McClean, who was at the event with her grandchildren.

Overcast ~ Flood Watch Friday, Dec. 20, 2013 |
My trip to MayberryPosted Saturday, July 24, 2010, at 12:11 AM Mount Airy is the birthplace of Andy Griffith, and the town and surrounding areas, were the inspiration for the locales for The Andy Griffith Show. A quick trip to historic downtown Mount Airy definitely gives you the feeling of being smack dab in the middle of Mayberry. I even had an encounter with Ernest T. Bass and the town drunk Otis Campbell outside the Snappy Lunch. It's awesome the town doesn't shy away from its comparisons to fictional Mayberry. The name adorns many establishments in the area and even the water tower has the silhouette of Opie and Andy walking in the sunset with their fishing poles thrown over their shoulders. The trip proved to be shorter than I would have liked due to the fact my daughters were more than ready to get back home. After a fit or two (more like 10 or 12), we decided to make a quick jaunt around town to snap some pictures and get outta dodge. We visited Wally's Service Station, Floyd's Barber Shop, the Courthouse, Griffith's boyhood home and the Andy Griffith Playhouse, which has a bronze statue of Opie and Andy situated out front. But I was told a trip to Mount Airy wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Snappy Lunch. The eatery is the only local business mentioned in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show and for good reason. I zipped over to pick up one of their pork chop sandwich and was greeted by Ernest T., rock in hand, staring intently at the front window. Following a quick nod, I ducked inside to pick up my goodies and then as I pushed open the screen door, I was greeted by Otis coming up the street. But all good things must come to an end. After talking to a few people and explaining I hadn't cut in line, but called in my order, I was off up the street to fetch a piece of coconut cream pie for my wife and then to the highway back home. The town even hosts an annual Mayberry Days festival, and with this being the 50th anniversary for the show, it would be a great time to attend. I'll have to celebrate from a distance, but I can assure you, I'll be making more trips to the fishing hole in the near future. I'd like to know what your favorite episodes of The Andy Griffith Show are. After hearing from you, I'll let you know mine in an upcoming blog. Here is a link to some additional photos from my trip to Mayberry. I'll be adding more in days to come. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

Let's not kid ourselves folks. Newmans P13TH finish was thanks to so many other better cars "tanking" during this race. Not sure how well pit stops went?
Newman simply does not have the speed to compete with the big boys out there. He's not alone in that area as we all know and can plainly see. There's just certain tracks ALL race teams just don't have it and for Newman it's Michigan!
Let's hear from YOU on this race!

Cincinnati Sings the Blues |
Clubs - Men's DI Clubs | ||
Manassas, VA - There's no substitute for fitness, and Norfolk's superior conditioning paid off in its win against Cincinnati during today's men's DI club championship Round of 16. Up 10-6 at half, Norfolk shifted into second gear in the second 40 and ran out a 29-11 victory to advance to the quarterfinals.
The first half was pretty even, with the only scoring coming from penalty kicks through the majority of the half, 6-3 to Cincinnati. Norfolk struggled to unleash its centers, who usually break through with little challenge and mark the offense's success, but Cincinnati's defense wasn't having it. As a result, Norfolk adjusted and slowed the ball down, consolidated play in the forwards, and committed more players to the breakdown, where the Blues were losing possession initially. The adjustment paid off and No. 8 Fred Wintermantel ran in the first try of the game with time winding down in the half. "They started to break there," Wintermantel said of his try. "We started making some long runs and they couldn't hang with us there. In the first half, they kicked a lot and sent their guys running onto it, but we had three or four guys back and ready. They realized they couldn't do that against us Cincinnati kept pressing its kicking game and couldn't generate an effective offense. As fatigue set in, Cincinnati's strong scrum started to wilt, which only opened up more opportunity for Norfolk. "We're fitter, and it showed in the last 30 minutes," Wintermantel said. "They died off and gave up. By game's end, Matt Seaton, Johnathan Grasso, Mike Fussel added to the try count, while Kevin Mott handled the penalties and conversions. Norfolk was able to pull players out and save them for tomorrow's game against the Boston Irish Wolfhounds, who ran over Metropolis 32-15. |

Date: Friday 15 Jun 2012
Engineering consultancy WS Atkins continues to reallocate resources into new, growth markets to keep its trading resilient through the downturn. The strategy is working. Contractors such as Atkins, which provides consulting, design and management services for large infrastructure projects, have had a difficult few years. This was especially the case for Atkins, as a significant UK-facing company. Management has responded by expanding abroad into new markets and the UK now represents just 49 per cent of its business, with a target of reducing this to 25 per cent. One key indicator of the health of Atkins underlying market is the groups headcount because a consultancys major asset is its skilled staff. Yesterdays full-year numbers showed that underlying headcount at the group rose 5.5pc over the year to 17,489. So, although the backdrop is a challenge, the company has managed its way successfully through the downturn by diversifying its geographic exposure. Last tipped at 732p on April 15, the shares are now down 5 per cent in line with the FTSE 100. However, the yield is supportive and the long-term prospects for this business are sound. Trading on a March 2013 multiple of 8.7 times falling to just 8.3, the rating on Atkins shares remains buy.
Retail group WH Smith has seen its share price tumble by about 12 per cent since the start of April. Yesterdays statement shows the falls were unwarranted. WH Smith shares were first tipped at 529½p on October 14 last year, and they are now trading 8pc below that level after their recent underperformance. This compares with a 1pc fall in the FTSE 100. Trading on an August 2012 multiple of just 8 times, falling to 7.3 next year, the shares are at an unwarranted discount to the wider retail sector. Even Home Retail Group, which is expected update the market at its troubled Argos operations next week is trading on a multiple of 13.8. The shares still look good value and Questor expects the dividend policy will continue to be progressive. With the shares yielding a prospective 5.4 per cent, rising to 6 per cent next year the shares are a buy.

A good diet can help improve the success rate of infertility treatment. In this article, Anya Sizer of The London Women's Clinic discusses the importance of a eating the correct food and recommends changes to make to eating patterns to give your body the best chance possible of conceiving.
Eating for two starts well before those magical two lines on a home test kit. Indeed, most experts say a minimum of three months is needed to obtain the optimum healthy environment in which to grow your child.
Even those of us who think we eat well could do with increasing our intake of certain vitamins and minerals. One study indicates that approximately 74% of women are nutrient deficient. For those facing fertility issues, especially unexplained infertility, it is well worth ensuring that you follow the best diet possible before undergoing treatment.
What then would be the key changes to recommend? I would point out that these recommendations are aimed at improving your life circumstances rather than adding an extra burden to what is already probably quite a stressful time. I always say follow the 80-20 rule. For 80% of the time make sure your nutrition is as good as possible. See yourself as an athlete in training and invest in yourself. However, be kind to yourself and DO allow yourself the occasional treat. I see too many women making their lives stressful by trying to get everything perfect. The occasional piece of chocolate cake can do one the world of good.
My top recommendations would be:

actually some battery have an external indicator, i've just assumed that she checked it. + if she have been using it on batteries she SHOULD have known (lol, i'm just gonna assume that too, my laptop got indicators everywhere... especially when the battery is about to go poof).
I do agree that they're full of shit, it is correct that most if not all laptop has a cut off when it's fully charged, or else all laptops will not be running on battery. that's why i don't like those tech people.

yeah, that's kindda true, haha, i've always been voiding warranty of everything i own. But unless it something like a game console, you can pretty much open everything up without them noticing, most things are seal with a sticker, so it's not that bad, game console is just no way around though.
Hi there! Youre not alone!
My laptop (Acer, Window Vista) recently facing a problem of black out while i was using it. When I was watching a movie with my laptop, the screen suddenly turned black but the sound from the movie still can be heard and apparently the computer is still functioning. This does happen when I do my work in Word too. Does this have something to do with the refresh rate? I've tried to change the refresh rate but to no avail. There's only 60Hertz option for the multiple monitor. Should I select the Notebook or Monitor in the option at the display setting? It's LCD screen if I'm not mistaken. Any idea to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!!!
P/S: The reason why I dont want to send it to the workshop where I bought it and tried to find solutions to the problem is that I dont really trust the workshop. It seems that they always want us to send our PC and need to repair and all. Leave there for days make me sick!
There's nothing wrong with your laptop. There's a setting in Windows where after your computer is idle for a certain amount of time, it will turn off the monitor. Unfortunately, I do not use Vista so I don't know how to turn off this settings. Maybe one of the other members will be able to help.
But I'll post on how to do it for Windows XP and maybe it'll be the same way.
On your desktop, right click and select Properties
Click on the Screen Saver tab
Click on the Power button
In the Power Schemes tab, you can turn on and off this feature. The rest should be self explanatory.
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
Or just nudge your mouse and the picture should come back.
In Vista, you can change the power settings.
Look for something that said 'Power Setting' under 'Control Panel'
Then, change the idle to never.
Thanks for your reply. What do you mean "change the idle to never"? Is it the one under Multimedia Settings -> When sharing media -> prevent idling to sleep??
I've change those settings to 'never' and 'nothing' but the problem still persist. Do you think it is better for me to change from Vista to XP instead? My desktop is XP and it seems okay, no similar problem with XP. Do you think it's my monitor problem. I used to have the feeling that it is the setting that caused that blackout. I'm clueless now.
Last edited by Cathelyn; 01-01-08 at 02:58 AM.
No that is not it.
1 - Go to 'Control Panel'
2 - Find the 'Power Options' button
3 - On the left hand side, click on 'Change when the computer' sleep
4 - Change all the 'Turn off the display' to Never or a longer time.
This should fix your systems from turning off the display screen.
Hope this help.
Thanks for all your help!! I really appreciate.
However the problem persists so I went to the workshop and the technician said that I have both AVG and Avast and thatt cause the problem. Therefore I uninstalled Avast and see if the problem continues. If the blackout stops I shall let you guys who has not solve this problem know that it might be the programs clashes that was the cause.
After I've uninstalled the Avast the problem still persists. I'm clueless, frustruated and mad abt it. What should I do now
please someone help me...my laptop is wacking out again.
Now, i need my laptop plug to an outlet at all time if not my laptop just automatically turn off or blacked out..
My laptop is just celebrated her first birthday a couple months ago..
WHAT the heck?1?!??

It sounds like your battery is dead and you need to replace it. Try someone else's laptop battery on your laptop (if they're similiar) and if it works, then that means you need to buy a need battery.
Anyway, your first post, I guess it's too late to tell you that it was your adapter cause I had the same thing happened to me.

The head of the World Council of Churches has strongly condemned attacks on Christians in Badami Bagh, Lahore, on Saturday 10 March.
Back in September, there were expressions across the world of what was dubbed 'Muslim rage' by the media, following the tawdry trailer for a film entitled 'Innocence of Muslims' ostensibly intended to defame the Muslim prophet Muhammad and insult the ummah of Islam worldwide. But Dr Harry Hagopian paints a much deeper and wider picture of Muslim discontents and provocations experienced throughout the Middle East and North Africa and elsewhere. Challenging simplistic 'clash of civilisations' theses, he says that what we need is not further disengagement between peoples and cultures, but rather further re-engagement.
A World Council of Churches sponsored hearing has urged the Pakistani government to take steps to stop abuse of the blasphemy law.
Church officials in Pakistan say they are encouraged by the arrest of a cleric on charges of framing an illiterate Christian teenager on blasphemy charges.
Groups in Islamabad are continuing to lobby the Pakistani government in the case of a Christian young woman charged with blasphemy.
During a visit to Pakistan, the general secretary of the World Council of Churches has urged protection of religious minorities and action against intolerance.
Indonesia has been urged to repeal its blasphemy laws and provide greater protection to minorities, including Christians and the Muslim Ahmadiyya sect.
The Pakistani government should immediately drop blasphemy charges against a 17-year-old student and ensure his safe release from detention.
Churches in Pakistan have expressed frustration over the government's refusal to amend a controversial blasphemy law, as urged by the Pope and protesting civil rights activists.
There is confusion about the fate of a Christian woman who has been sentenced to death under Pakistan's draconian blasphemy law.

It stretches to the sizes required, is toasty warm and can easily be placed on a pocket when not required and it looks more expensive than it was.

Sapphire has a new high-end graphics accelerator in the works for launch next week: the Atomic HD 4890. The card features a blue reference PCB by AMD with a few enhancements, paired with Sapphire's Vapor-X cooler to keep this factory-overclocked card cool, and more importantly, quieter than the reference cooler. What makes this card even more special is that Sapphire generously overclocked it. The core runs at 1000 MHz, and the 1 GB of GDDR5 memory at 1050 MHz (2100 MHz DDR, 4200 MHz effective). The Catalyst Control Center ATI Overdrive page shows its GPU core overlocking limit upped to 1100 MHz, from the 1000 MHz limit release-drivers were noted to come with. To sustain such high speeds, the card's VRM has been slightly expanded. The card uses an 8-pin PCI-E power connector alongside a 6-pin one. The price of this card is yet to be known. Source: Hexus.net
Just because it uses a 6 and 8 pin connector? Thats crazy. On the other hand, Im starting to notice the Vapor-x coolers. I thought they were all marketing hype when Sapphire came out with them, but they seem to cool very well.
Is this card the first guaranteed 1GHz 4890? You can probably bet on the fact that 90% of Sapphire's non Vapor-X cards won't hit much above 1GHz then. Very cool nevertheless. (pun!)
holy crap, these things are fast. if you can oc the core to 1100 mhz, then it could compete with a gtx 285
you mean with an overclocked gtx285? From what i've seen they already compete with a stock gtx285 at 900-950mhz
Damn, If i were looking for a ATI cards this would be the one to get, but i have a GTX295 now, so its fine
Aye, they're both great cards -- it's a darn shame ATI hasn't pushed support for its GPU coding framework as much as Nvidia's pushed CUDA, because this thing would likely scream when it came to folding.
more or less depending on a couple of things... I run a crossfire of 4870 toxics with vapor x coolers and bottom card idles at 43C, while the top(main) idles at 54C My quess is about +40usd on top of the regular 4890 they are.... had them on my 3870s and 4870s...TOXICS ME TOO!

And then there were four!
Two more contestants were eliminated from The X Factor Thursday night, with four making it through to next week's semifinals. Did Tate Nation give Tate Stevens the votes he needed to reclaim the top spot from Carly Rose Sonenclar? Did CeCe Frey survive another week? And which acts had to go head-to-head to stay in the competition? Read on to find out.
Viewers got a double dose on The X Factor Wednesday night, with each of the remaining six acts performing two songs — the first an unplugged number, and the second a song chosen by viewers — as they attempt to move into next week's semifinals. For the audience-chosen performances (a.k.a. the "Pepsi Challenge" — yay sponsorship!), viewers weighed in not only on the song choice, but also on everything from the act's wardrobe to the stage lighting. Suffice it to say, we hope the show goes back to having the judges make these decisions next week.
So, which two contestants should be sent home on Thursday's show? Here's a breakdown of their performances:
Alicia Keys is on fire! Britney rocks a fedora! And two more acts go home on Thursday's The X Factor. How does it all play out? Let's take a look:
The Top 8 finalists on The X Factor tackled chart-topping songs Wednesday, knowing that Thursday they'll face another double elimination on Fox's singing show. With only a fraction of a percent separating the Top 4 contestants after last week's show, the competition is getting fierce.
Also getting fierce? The banter between judges Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato, with Lovato not responding well to Cowell's criticisms of her contestants, and chiding him about everything from his age to his bachelor status. Cowell responded by telling the 20-year-old that he had sold more than 300 million records in his career. (Snap!)
Another week of The X Factor, another chance to hate on CeCe Frey.
The 21-year-old postal room worker has inspired more loathing than judge Simon Cowell this season, falling to the bottom of the Rankings of Shame twice ever since viewers started voting. During last week's results, when she was saved from elimination by the judges again, Cowell acknowledged that even they have given her a "hard time" on the show. If the judges can't back her, why should America?

Ethiopia Worka Natural Fair Trade Organic
Ethiopia Worka Natural Fair Trade OrganicProfileEthiopia, the birthplace of coffee and the birthplace of civilization. Coffee from Ethiopia holds a special place in our hearts, and we are always on the lookout for high-quality and distinctive-tasting coffees from this country. This particular Fair Trade and organic certified coffee is grown in the Gedeo region of northern Yirgacheffe by members of the Worka Cooperative. Worka was founded in 2005 and is one of the member co-ops associated with the larger Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU) which handles export logistics. The 305 member Worka Cooperative functions democratically, electing an executive council that makes decisions regarding farm investments, social programs and management of member payment. YCFCU supports Worka by providing a manager to assist with harvest and processing systems; this advisor reports to the elected council. Processed by the traditional sun dried natural method where harvested cherries are sorted for ripeness, cleaned and then placed on raised beds to dry. The coffee pulp is allowed to dry onto the bean. During the drying process the cherries are turned regularly for even drying, and can take several weeks to dry to the proper moisture content. Once dry the cherries are hulled, and the dried fruit is removed from the bean. Cupping NotesDominant fruit notes of blueberry and peach combine with Meyer lemon and vanilla bean.
