Libya announces truce to end deadly tribal clashes [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Female #1
Our Al Jazeera correspondent in Libya reported that a ceasefire is now in effect in western Libya after intervention from the Supreme Council for the Revolutionaries, the National Army, and the High Reconciliation Committee. The National Transitional Council announced a state of emergency in the cities of Zuwarah, al-Jamil, and Rigdaleen, and declared these cities to be a military zone under the control of the Libyan army's chief of staff.
Reporter, Male #1
Violence seems to have the upper hand in western Libya after days of fighting and tension in the triangle region of Zuwarah, al-Jamil, and Rigdaleen, near the Tunisian border. As all sides continued to trade accusations of breaching the truce, the three cities were declared a military zone, and the army threatened to respond to anyone who opened fire.
Guest, Male #2 (Mohamed Thuwaib, Officer in the National Army)
The National Army preferred to end this conflict so it can control the area from Ras Jadir to the eastern border, God willing.
Reporter, Male #1
The security center of al-Jamil City is still on alert for confrontations in what they refer to as the "Zuwarah revolutionaries' breaches of the truce." As for their affirmation of support for the revolution, it is interpreted as a direct response to the accusation by their neighbors in Zuwarah that al-Jamil remains loyal to the former Gaddafi regime.
Guest, Male #3 (Abu al-Qasim Karir, Head of the Local Council in Sabratha City)
Zuwarah claims that it should control the area of Ras Jadir and establish the same order that it had before the revolution. They are accusing Rigdaleen and al-Jamil of being the regime's puppets because they were one of the last few regions to support the revolution.
Reporter, Male #1
Meanwhile, the wounded and killed continue to be transported to the city's hospital. Journalists were targeted during the extended battle between the groups of civilians.
Reporter, Male #1
The scene in al-Jamil City after the death of a field commander in Zuwarah reflects the extent of the tribal feud in this area. The revolutionaries in Zuwarah consider the commander to be one of the heroes that confronted Gaddafi's battalions, while al-Jamil's residents view him as a cause of the strife. Even though the new Libyan army announced that they have eliminated a prominent figure in the strife, the mission of maintaining security in western Libya does not appear to be going smoothly, at least in light of the current tension. Samir Allawi, Al Jazeera, al-Jamil.
Israeli fuel arrives in Gaza [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Female #1
Ten tankers arrived in Gaza Wednesday through Karm Abu Salem border crossing southeast of the Strip to deliver industrial fuel needed to operate the power plants in the Strip. Each tanker carried 50,000 liters of industrial diesel, and the total amount of fuel in these tankers reached 500,000 liters of diesel. Director of the Palestinian Government Media Center, Ghassan al-Khatib, said 500,000 liters of diesel were delivered to the power plant.
Guest, Male #1 (Ghassan Khatib, Director of the Palestinian Government Media Center)
Yesterday, necessary arrangements were made to transport 415,000 liters of natural diesel to the power plant in the Gaza Strip. This came after the electricity company in Gaza transferred the payment to the Palestinian Petroleum Commission in Ramallah, so that it will pay it to the Israeli side. These are temporary arrangements until a long-term connection is established through agreements between the Palestinian Authority and the Arab Republic of Egypt to link the Gaza Strip to the Arab power grid. This project will solve the fuel issue in the Gaza Strip once and for all. However, the infrastructure for the project will take at least a year.
ICC's Israel war crimes probe halted, pending UN decision [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Female #1
Reactions ensued condemning the International Criminal Court's decision to halt the probe into the Israeli occupation's crimes against the Palestinian people in 2009. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch denounced the decision, saying it gives a green light to the occupation to commit additional crimes.
Reporter, Male #2
After a long silence, the International Criminal Court prosecutor announced something disappointing. After three years of preparatory investigations of Israel's crimes against humanity in the Palestinian territories, the General Prosecutor said the International Criminal Court has no authorization to probe into these crimes, considering that Palestine is not a country.
Reporter, Male #2
More than 1,400 martyrs were killed in the occupation's gunfire in less than a month during the latest war on the Gaza Strip. In addition, countless crimes have been committed by Israel before this international organization was even founded. The organization has disappointed the free people of the world with its decision that allows the criminal to repeat its acts with impunity.
Reporter, Male #2
Palestine attained recognition from over 120 countries on the eve of its declaration in Algeria, and has established diplomatic relations through its embassies and representatives in numerous parts of the world. The Palestinian Authority appealed to the ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo in 2009, asking him to investigate into the war crimes committed by the Israeli army since 2002, especially during Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip from December 2008 to January 2009. Israel, which welcomed Ocampo's decision, did not hide its satisfaction with this result.
Reporter, Male #2
Once again, Israel becomes a country above the law, and the tears of Palestinian children were shed in vain as a result of this court's decision. In turn, Human Rights Watch expressed its regret over the International Criminal Court's decision, asserting that "Today's decision appears to close the door for now on access to the ICC for victims of international crimes committed in the Palestinian Territories."
Israeli resort city attacked by rockets reportedly from Sinai [IBA, Israel]
The Israel police and army sappers continue to search for the remains of at least one Grad rocket that was fired at the city of Eilat around 1 o'clock in the morning. Three explosions reportedly rocked the city, although no injuries or damage have been reported. So far, the debris from just one missile has been located, 300 meters away from a residential apartment building. Security officials believe that the rockets were fired from the Egyptian Sinai, although according to Arab media reports, the Egyptian head of Sinai security is denying that the rocket fire came from the territory. Mayor Meir Yitzhak Halevi has vowed that normal life will not be disrupted in the resort city, which is seeing large numbers of tourists during the Passover holiday, and Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will not tolerate attacks from the Sinai and will take actions to eliminate the threat.
Netanyahu slated for talks with PA leaders [IBA, Israel]
In political developments, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is slated to take part in a summit later this month with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The two leaders will hold talks shortly after Netanyahu meets with PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. The two sides are currently locked in a stalemate, and Netanyahu and Abbas have not spoken to each other in several months.
Israeli PM announces commitment to expand settlements after Hebron evictions [IBA, Israel]
Amid criticism over the right of the surprise evacuation of Jews from the disputed home in Hebron, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced his commitment to expanding the settlement enterprise in the West Bank. The legality of the purchase of the Hamachpela house in Hebron is now under investigation, and in the meantime the property has been cordoned off by the army.
Iran wants to relocate nuclear talks away from Turkey [IBA, Israel]
Iran is now attempting to push planned nuclear talks with Western powers out of the slated venue in Turkey as relations between Ankara and Tehran have become increasingly strained. Iranian officials want to relocate next week's negotiations to Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, or even China. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that the time for a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear standoff is not infinite, warning Iran that all options for dealing with the nuclear threat remain under consideration.
Egyptian Brotherhood presidential candidate says implementing sharia is 'main goal' [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Male #1
Competition flared among prominent presidential candidates in Egypt as the closing date for the candidate nominations approaches this coming Sunday. Omar Suleiman, Hosni Mubarak's former deputy, pulled out of the competition and announced in a statement that he did not plan to run for the nomination due to what he described as "administrative and financial obstacles." In turn, the Islamist Freedom and Justice Party candidate, Khairat Al-Shater, filed his nomination papers with the High Election Committee. Al-Shater spoke yesterday for the first time since he was announced as the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, confirming that implementing Islamic Sharia law will remain his principal agenda. Within the framework of the electoral competition, the liberal Wafd Party announced that Amr Moussa has its endorsement for presidential candidate.
Presenter, Male #1
The ruling Military Council in Egypt pushed forward the process to transfer authority to a president-elect and to set a date for the handover in late June, regardless of whether the country's new constitution is ready or not. The Military Council's position comes in light of the growing crisis in the Founding Committee of the Egyptian Constitution. The representatives who withdrew were given only one week to return to the committee amid continuing efforts to resolve the crisis. Our correspondent Tawfiq Ahmed reports from Cairo.
Reporter, Male #2
Attempts to convince those who pulled out of the Founding Committee of the Egyptian Constitution to return have failed. The crisis continues amid the committee's pursuit of new proposals and solutions that satisfy all parties.
Guest, Male #3 (Dr. Wahid Abed-Majid, Member of the Founding Committee of Egyptian Constitution)
My opinion was, and still is, that the committee must fully adhere to al-Azhar Document. This allows al-Azhar to regain its status and respect, and reiterates clearly and definitively that there is a point of reference for the constitution that everyone agrees on.
Reporter, Male #2
The members who withdrew have been given one week to return if they choose. The mediation efforts were reflected in the withdrawal of a number of the Islamist movement's members, creating a vacuum that was quickly filled by other political blocs. The approval vote for the amendments added to the constitution was raised from 51 percent to 60 percent.
Guest, Male #4 (Fikry Abed al-Mutaleb, Researcher of Religious Movements)
The domination of the issue by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafi-Wahabi groups in Egypt's parliament has alienated a number of leading institutions that represent many aspects of Egyptian society.
Reporter, Male #2
Amid the political polarization, Egyptians believe that the solution lies at the hands of the Founding Committee of the Constitution. The Founding Committee has opened the door wide for Egyptians to express their opinions and make suggestions for the new constitution. The departed members of the constitution committee have adopted a firm position: they demand a revision of the membership of the Founding Committee, while leaving the door open in case they return. This political polarization is dominating the Egyptian scene, which comes at a critical time for Egypt. Tawfiq Ahmed, Dubai TV, Cairo.
Rights groups list Saudi Arabia among world's worst human rights abusers [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female #1
In its annual report, the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights has listed Saudi Arabia as one of the world's worst human rights abusers during the past year. According to the report, abuses in the Kingdom, which has no official constitution, include a wide range of systematic measures aimed at suppressing freedom of expression, discriminating against religious and ethnic minorities, and denying women their fundamental rights.
Reporter, Male #1
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has once again topped the list of world's worst human rights abusers, as confirmed by the 2011 annual report of the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights. Suppressing religious and ethnic minorities, restricting social freedoms and freedom of expression, as well as violating women's fundamental rights, are only the tip of the iceberg in the Kingdom's long history of human rights abuses. Named after the al-Saud royal family, Saudi Arabia has been ruling the Kingdom for over eight decades. It's the only country in the world that has no formal constitution and holds no elections.
Reporter, Male #1
Its basic law is a constitution-like charter that proclaims the right of monarchy enshrined by militant Salafi ideology. The repression of religious minorities was the focus of the report on the state of human rights in the Kingdom. The report listed a wide range of systematic measures practiced by Saudi authorities against religious minorities. Religious minorities are facing discrimination on all levels, including in the education sector. School curricula include subjects that contradict with religious minorities' beliefs, and often describe them as apostates or nonbelievers.
Reporter, Male #1
Saudi Arabia's violations prompted the US, which is its main ally, to criticize the Saudi regime over its oppressive measures against religious minorities. The Saudi regime is described as "one of the worst abusers of the freedom of expression and opinion." The US State Department's report added that Saudi Arabia continues to actively prevent the religious practices of other faiths. In addition, the country does not provide legal recognition or protection for the freedom of religious individuals. The formation of the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in the Arabian Peninsula coincided with the formation of a fact-finding mission investigating racial and religious discrimination in the Kingdom. Hundreds of anti-regime activists have been arrested by Saudi security forces without being tried or charged for any crime. Their only misdeed was demanding freedom in a country that lacks justice and equality for all.
Saudis stage anti-regime protests in Qatif region [Press TV, Iran]
In Saudi Arabia, protestors have once again taken to the streets calling for the release of a prominent human rights activist. Protestors have rallied in and around Qatif calling for the release of Fadel al-Monassef. Protestors in the Eastern Province have been calling for basic human rights, an end to sectarian discrimination, and the release of political prisoners for over a year.
Khawaja's daughter appeals for his release [Press TV, Iran]
In Bahrain, the daughter of a prominent human rights activist, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, said her father's health condition continues to deteriorate. A new photo shows al-Khawaja in a prison hospital where he was taken several days ago after his condition deteriorated due to his 55-day hunger strike.
Israel carries out assault on Gaza [Press TV, Iran]
Israeli troops, backed by tanks and bulldozers, have conducted an incursion into the east of the Gaza Strip. No casualties have been reported. Israel claims the incursion was in response to rockets fired from Gaza, which it blames on Hamas.
Fresh clashes in Syria ahead of UN mission [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
The UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, said the violence and the military operations launched by government forces on civilians are still ongoing, even though Damascus announced they would agree to the Annan plan. Annan said in a videoconference to the UN General Assembly that if the Syrian government adheres to the April 10th deadline for halting the violence, then all sides should cease fighting by 6pm on April 12th. He called on both sides to respect the truce.
Guest, Male #2 (Kofi Annan, UN-Arab League Envoy to Syria)
Clearly, the violence is still continuing. Alarming levels of casualties and other abuses continue to be reported daily. Military operations in civilian populations have not stopped. For its part, the government has written to me stating that armed groups continue to assault and attack government forces, civilians, and property.
Presenter, Male #1
The UN Security Council issued a statement calling on Syria to keep its pledge to halt the fighting and withdraw its army from residential areas by April 10th. The US representative to the Security Council, Susan Rice, said the Council called on all parties in Syria to end the violence in accordance with provisions of the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan's initiative. Rice stressed the importance of resolving the Syrian crisis peacefully and politically. In another development, Syrian authorities approved the International Committee of the Red Cross's visit to Aleppo Central Prison. Meanwhile, the Syrian Revolution General Commission said security forces and the army killed 31 civilians in various parts of Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added that five regime soldiers were killed on Thursday during clashes in the countryside of Aleppo.
Reporter, Male #3
The surroundings of the Syrian capital Damascus witnessed campaigns of raids, shelling, and arrests in the past several hours. Two activists were killed after their car was targeted by security forces in the neighborhood of Kfar Sousa. Activists said confrontations between regime forces and members of the Free Syrian Army during clashes in Duma City, which is located several kilometers from the capital, led to the deaths of civilians and soldiers on both sides. Harasta also saw fighting, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which asserted that the two armies clashed in a number of regions in Syria.
Reporter, Male #3
The Homs region witnessed the largest number of civilian fatalities. The shelling continued on some of its neighborhoods, as well as areas in its countryside. As for Rastan, it saw violent shelling by the regime army, which killed civilians. Talbisa witnessed shelling and civilian deaths as well. The villages of Haritan, Anadan and Biyan in the countryside of Aleppo saw clashes between the Syrian army and fighters from the Free Syrian Army after regime soldiers in the region defected. Three regime soldiers were killed in the northern countryside of Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. In southern Syria, two regime soldiers were killed during clashes in al-Nu'aima Village in Dara'a Province. In the countryside of Idlib, a member of the Free Syrian Army was killed in the city of Khan Shaykhun. The Free Syrian Army has announced that they will form a new brigade in the city.
Reporter, Male #3
Clashes escalated in the past two days, even though the Annan plan stipulates a halt to military operations and the withdrawal of military vehicles congregating at residential complexes. The Annan plan entails ending the violence from all sides under UN supervision, withdrawing military forces, delivering humanitarian aid to the damaged areas, releasing the detainees, and allowing peaceful demonstrations. On the other hand, over 1,000 people fled to Turkey from northern Syria within the last 24 hours. This raised the number of refugees to 21,000. In addition, Syrians are displaced internally, fleeing from one area to another to escape the shelling and violence. Hayyan Aqoub, BBC.

HoopsHype Michael Finley rumors
Michael Finley is trying to comeback in the NBA. The experienced player talked to Basketusa about his return to the court admitting that Tony Parker offered him to play in France for ASVEL Villeurbanne. "At the beginning of the season, the Dallas Mavericks offered me a spot at the training camp but I got injured. Other teams are interested in me, I am just waiting for one of them to make the right offer to me. I have spoken with Tony Parker and he offered me the chance to play for his team in France. But my family and my children are in Dallas. I may go for a month, if it is ok for him. I had no offer yet to play but my agent is in contact with 5-10 teams. I cannot reveal the names, I can just say that 5 of them are qualified for the playoffs at the moment. I hope to return to the NBA as a player. But I won't have the chance, I'd like to stay in the NBA as GM or to work for a franchise". Sportando
Darren Wolfson: Michael Finley is another guy who wants in with the #Twolves. Heck, a lot of guys do with the open roster spot. Very little shot on Finley. Twitter @DarrenWolfson
Darren Wolfson: I'm told the #Twolves took a call from the Michael Finley camp (he wants back in the #NBA), but said no thanks. Reason #1: at roster limit. Twitter @DarrenWolfson
Former NBA All-Star Michael Finley is putting his front-office career on hold in hopes of extending his playing career, according to sources with knowledge of his plans. Sources told ESPN that Finley, after participating in NBA pickup games all summer, continues to work out vigorously in pursuit of a contract that would give him one more run as an NBA player before shifting his focus to front-office work. ESPN.com
Finley then continued to work under Nelson through the offseason, but also never stopped training to keep alive his comeback bid. After Nelson publicly acknowledged for the first time in August that both Finley and former teammate Eduardo Najera were working as special assistants to the GM, sources say the Mavericks invited Finley to training camp as a player on a non-guaranteed contract before a minor calf injury scuttled that plan. ESPN.com
Attack Athletics continues to operate under the control of a receiver. The bankruptcy filing listed Jordan as among the business' largest creditors, saying the former Chicago Bulls star is owed $1.5 million. Another creditor listed is former NBA player Michael Finley, who guaranteed a $2 million loan. Chicago Sun-Times
Michael Dugat: Also, Cuban called Michael Finley "kind of an assistant-assistant general manager." So, mystery position solved? Twitter
Dwain Price: Michael Finley has been hired by the Mavs in a position that hasn't officially been announced. Finley played for the Mavs from 1996-2005. Twitter
However, acccording to sources close to MLSE, Grunwald did investigate trading Carter for Nash, but not until late in the 2003-04 season. At a presentation to the MLSE board, Grunwald recommended trading Carter for Nash and another player, possibly Michael Finley. SportsNet
This week, the Suns worked out a number of shooting guards and small forwards including Jermaine Taylor, Michael Finley and Al Thornton among others. Yesterday, the Clippers held a workout of their own that was attended by Taylor, Finley and Bobby Simmons. Both teams will continue to evaluate players and weigh their options in the coming weeks. HoopsWorld
Former face of the franchise Michael Finley sparked a bit of a stir himself sitting in a baseline seat next to longtime Mavs courtside fixture Neil Hawks for Dallas' 98-89 victory over Steve Nash's Phoenix Suns. Catching a Dirk vs. Nash duel, though, is not the only reason Finley's in town this week. The 38-year-old has worked out for the past two days with newly signed Mavs forward Yi Jianlian under the watchful eye of Texas Legends coach Del Harris, as Finley continues his comeback after a year away from the game. ESPN.com
Yi's time in Dallas will begin with a rehabilitation stint under Harris with the D-League's Legends so China's top player -- as he's known in the wake of Yao Ming's retirement -- can ease into his return from a knee injury sustained during the lockout while playing in a league game back home. But team sources say that the Legends are also trying to convince Finley to play a few games for them to show NBA teams that he's fully shaken the ankle problems that restricted the two-time All-Star to a limited role with the Boston Celtics in the 2010 playoffs. ESPN.com
Finley, according to sources, is determined to land one last NBA job but is still weighing whether he wants to go the D-League route. If he does decide to submit his name into the D-League player pool, Finley is not guaranteed to land with the Legends, since they would not be at the front of the line to claim him. But it's believed that Finley would eventually land in Frisco because his agent (Henry Thomas) would presumably inform teams ahead of the Legends in the waiver process that Finley is only willing to play in the D-League if he winds up with the team just 25 miles up the road from the American Airlines Center. ESPN.com
Finley, in an interview last week with HoopsHype.com, said, "When I went to Boston, my ankle wasn't 100 percent. So after that season, I got my ankle worked on. I've been working hard to get that at 100 percent. I feel a lot better than during my time in Boston. "With the lockout and the shortened season, I wouldn't be surprised if there's more injuries than usual since there's been not much of a training camp. I'm just working hard to be in shape and prepared in case an NBA team calls me." ESPN.com
Following up on the tweet, Finley told HoopsHype Friday that's he's feeling healthy now and ready to return to pro basketball - in the NBA or elsewhere. The 6-foot-7 last saw action during the Celtics' Finals run one year and a half ago. Limited by ankle problems, he was little more than a bit player for the eventual NBA runner-up. HoopsHype
"I got offers from the D-League before (Ricky Davis or Greg Ostertag) ever thought about playing in the D-League," Finley said. "My thing is, I want to play basketball, I would enjoy playing in the D-League, but at the same time I don't want to take an opportunity away from a young guy to get exposure. I'm still thinking about it. If the right situation comes, where I could be something like a player-coach, maybe I would take that opportunity." HoopsHype

I've been reading some stuff by an author I'd never heard of, Bryan Belrad. He's got a few things on his website, and talks a lot about 'The Eternal Universe' model. I can't find anything else on it, at least not that seems to be the same model. Anybody have any clues?
For those who've never heard of it, the basic characteristics are 1) Gravity is a function of the existence of matter, 2) Gravitational slope is a function of magnetic spin, 3) Space is infinite and of zero curvature, and 4) The universe recycles. The corollaries to it include the universe not expanding, neutrinos having mass up to electron size, and antimatter having an antigravity effect, among other interesting things.
Before you decide its preposterous, take a look at the case for these ideas. The source site is www.BelradUniverse.com/bu.html, and Belrad always seems eager to answer questions.
I'm not trying to push his stuff here (the two important things on the site are free anyway), I just want other thinker's thoughts on all this alternative model stuff. I guess what it comes down to is that I want to believe, but I'm in shock over the gross magnitude of what this guy says.
Good thinking!

hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew how to inform PBS to use both CPUs in a dual node before submitting to a single processor node. I have two dual CPU nodes and two single CPU nodes. If I submit 3 jobs requesting 2 nodes each I would like PBS to send each job to the two processors on a single node (ie - fill up the one node before distributing to another as per a fifo style). The reason for this is that when you have a two different jobs on a single node running on different cpus and one job finishes before the other, the message passing system (PVM in our case) is killing the job, not yet complete, on the second proccessor. If anyone can be of any assistance I would appreciate the help. Thanks, Joey Raheb jraheb at julian.uwo.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

C A+F Drug Safety: It is pretty obvious that people use drugs on campus. It's mainly at parties or when people are just hanging out. There are not really rules for drug use on campus, but you can be punished and even taken to jail for drug use at any school function or in any building on campus (including dorms). No one cares if you step outside to smoke or if you come in drunk from a party.
A+ A+F Drug Safety: There is drugs on campus Alcorn State University keeps it clean and there are no drugs on the campus
B- A+F Drug Safety: Drugs are not a bad problem at Alcorn State University. The few that do smoke do not hide it and are not often punished for doing so, drinking however is a popular activity and remnants are left in the parking lots.
B- A+F Drug Safety: because some underage students do get away with buying drugs
B- A+F Drug Safety: The drug scene is pretty noticeable, especially on weekends. Many do it shamelessly in the parking lots despite it being dry campus. Yet, students can get away with it because it is not heavily enforced by campus police. It has become a norm.

An Economic History of Korea from 1400 to 1900: Documents, Data, and Interpretations
Dr Lewis was educated in the US, Japan, and Korea. He has written on the history of relations between Korea and Japan before 1850 and is currently working on aspects of the economic history of the Chosŏn period. He is the author of many publications, among which Frontier Contact Between Chosŏn Korea and Tokugawa Japan (Routledge, 2007).
The Colloquium will be held on Friday 26 October, from 15-17h in M. de Vrieshof 2/004. You are cordially invited to come to the lecture.
The field of economic history has expanded immensely over the past fifteen years


text: Last seen in 1928, the colobognath millipede Illacme plenipes is thought to have more legs than any other animal on earth – one female was found with 750 legs, while the males are thought to have a maximum of 562. Despite its legginess the species is actually quite small, even relative to other millipedes. Females grow to just over an inch long; males are slightly smaller. Now scientists from the University of Arizona have rediscovered this elusive beast, and here's a video of it.

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a contract with W. E. Contracting Co. Inc. to make improvements at Blankets Creek Mountain Bike Trails, located along Sixes Road just outside of Holly Springs.
The contract amount is $829,989, which includes $40,000 in contingency funds from the county.
Improvements to the site include grading, new parking, drainage improvements, constructing a new entrance off Sixes Road to align with an existing median cut, new restrooms, two picnic pavilions and utility connections and improvements.
Bill Echols, Cherokee County capital program manager, said he expects work to begin in early September and should last around 250 days.
The Woodstock chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycling Association said it would agree to close the trails on weekdays for a total of 15 days to accommodate construction. The rest of the days the park will remain open.
SORBA Woodstock President Jay Wilkes said the improvements have been a long time coming.
"We're very, very happy about this decision," he said, adding the trail continues to remain popular as it was recently ranked the fifth best mountain bike trail system in the world on the website singletracks.com.
The president said that while Sixes Presbyterian Church has been "incredible" for allowing mountain bikers to utilize their parking when existing space is full, the church recently started sharing parking with another church and can no longer accommodate riders.
Wilkes said the parking is needed as mountain bikers have been parking at nearby commercial businesses such as Starbucks, Publix and The Home Depot and riding along Sixes to the trails.
He noted the increase from 75 to 175 parking spaces will be a "much-needed amenity."
In other business, the county commission held a second public hearing on its proposed millage rate, which it is expected to formally adopt along with the rates of the Cherokee County Board of Education, tonight at 6 p.m. at the county administration building.
The county's total millage rate sits at 9.13 mills, which includes 5.36 for the general fund, 3.129 for the fire district and .641 for the parks bond.
The commission is considering a revenue neutral rate increase, which would result in 5.85 for the general fund, 3.39 for the fire fund and .693 for the parks bond.
The fire district and general fund rates are considered revenue neutral, but the parks rate is not as it's set to cover debt service related to the county's parks bond program, said Chief Financial Officer Janelle Funk.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners also:
Recognized the 100th anniversary of the Eagle Scout badge being awarded;
* Held a public hearing on its proposed millage rates;
* Approved changes to the county's cemetery preservation ordinance, which changes the ordinance's name to cemetery creation and preservation, clarifies how cemeteries should be maintained and makes changes to the cemetery preservation process;

* Approved a professional services agreement Siemens Industry Inc. for the fire alarm, life safety and security system technical services to the Adult Detention Center, Justice Center and Fire Stations 4, 12, 21, 22 and 23 for $54,828; and
* Amended a resolution that designed the county's open records officer, which allows agency directors to handle requests of records handled by their departments.

Chris Anderson: Thank you so much, Prime Minister, that was both fascinating and quite inspiring. So, you're calling for a global ethic. Would you describe that as global citizenship? Is that an idea that you believe in, and how would you define that?
Gordon Brown: I think it is about global citizenship. It's about recognizing our responsibilities to others. There is so much to do over the next few years that is obvious to so many of us to build a better world. And there is so much shared sense of what we need to do, that it is vital that we all come together. But we don't necessarily have the means to do so.
So there are challenges to be met. I believe the concept of global citizenship will simply grow out of people talking to each other across continents. But then, of course, the task is to create the institutions that make that global society work. But I don't think we should underestimate the extent to which massive changes in technology make possible the linking up of people across the world.
CA: But people get excited about this idea of global citizenship, but then they get confused a bit again when they start thinking about patriotism, and how to combine these two. I mean, you're elected as Prime Minister with a brief to bat for Britain. How do you reconcile the two things?
GB: Well, of course national identity remains important. But it's not at the expense of people accepting their global responsibilities. And I think one of the problems of a recession is that people become more protectionist, they look in on themselves, they try to protect their own nation, perhaps at the expense of other nations. When you actually look at the motor of the world economy, it cannot move forward unless there is trade between the different countries. And any nation that would become protectionist over the next few years would deprive itself of the chance of getting the benefits of growth in the world economy.
So, you've got to have a healthy sense of patriotism; that's absolutely important. But you've got to realize that this world has changed fundamentally, and the problems that we have cannot be solved by one nation and one nation alone.
CA: Well, indeed. But what do you do when the two come into conflict and you're forced to make a decision that either is in Britain's interest, or the interest of Britons, or citizens elsewhere in the world?
GB: Well I think we can persuade people that what is necessary for Britain's long-term interests, what is necessary for America's long-term interests, is proper engagement with the rest of the world, and taking the action that is necessary.
There is a great story, again, told about Richard Nixon. 1958, Ghana becomes independent, so it is just over 50 years ago. Richard Nixon goes to represent the United States government at the celebrations for independence in Ghana. And it's one of his first outings as Vice President to an African country. He doesn't quite know what to do, so he starts going around the crowd and starts talking to people in the crowd and he says to people in this rather unique way, "How does it feel to be free?" And he's going around, "How does it feel to be free?" "How does it feel to be free?" And then someone says, "How should I know? I come from Alabama." (Laughter) And that was the 1950s.
Now, what is remarkable is that civil rights in America were achieved in the 1960s. But what is equally remarkable is socioeconomic rights in Africa have not moved forward very fast even since the age of colonialism. And yet, America and Africa have got a common interest. And we have got to realize that if we don't link up with those people who are sensible voices and democratic voices in Africa, to work together for common causes, then the danger of Al Qaeda and related groups making progress in Africa is very big.
So, I would say that what seems sometimes to be altruism, in relation to Africa, or in relation to developing countries, is more than that. It is enlightened self-interest for us to work with other countries. And I would say that national interest and, if you like, what is the global interest to tackle poverty and climate change do, in the long run, come together. And whatever the short-run price for taking action on climate change or taking action on security, or taking action to provide opportunities for people for education, these are prices that are worth paying so that you build a stronger global society where people feel able to feel comfortable with each other and are able to communicate with each other in such a way that you can actually build stronger links between different countries.
CA: We're in Oxford, which is the home of philosophical thought experiments. And so here is one that kind of goes -- I still just want to draw out on this issue. So, you're on vacation at a nice beach, and word comes through that there's been a massive earthquake and that there is a tsunami advancing on the beach. One end of the beach there is a house containing a family of five Nigerians. And at the other end of the beach there is a single Brit. You have time to -- (Laughter) you have time to alert one house. What do you do? (Laughter)
GB: Modern communications. (Applause) Alert both. (Applause) I do agree that my responsibility is first of all to make sure that people in our country are safe. And I wouldn't like anything that is said today to suggest that I am diminishing the importance of the responsibility that each individual leader has for their own country.
But I'm trying to suggest that there is a huge opportunity open to us that was never open to us before. But the power to communicate across borders allows us to organize the world in a different way. And I think, look at the tsunami, it's a classic example. Where was the early warning systems? You know? Where was the world acting together to deal with the problems that they knew arose from the potential for earthquakes, as well as the potential for climate change? And when the world starts to work together, with better early warning systems, then you can deal with some of these problems in a far better way. I just think we're not seeing, at the moment, the huge opportunities open to us by the ability of people to cooperate in a world where either there was isolationism before or there was limited alliances based on convenience which never actually took you to deal with some of the central problems.
CA: But I think this is the frustration that perhaps a lot people have, like people in the audience here, where we love the kind of language that you're talking about. It is inspiring. A lot of us believe that that has to be the world's future. And yet, when the situation changes, you suddenly hear politicians talking as if, you know, for example, the life of one American soldier is worth countless numbers of Iraqi civilians. When the pedal hits the metal, the idealism can get moved away. I'm just wondering how -- whether you can see that changing over time, whether you see in Britain that there are changing attitudes, and that people are actually more supportive of the kind of global ethic that you talk about.
GB: I think every religion, every faith, and I'm not just talking here to people of faith or religion -- it has this global ethic at the center of its credo. And whether it's Jewish or whether it's Muslim or whether it's Hindu, or whether it's Sikh, the same global ethic is at the heart of each of these religions. So, I think you're dealing with something that people instinctively see as part of that moral sense. So you're building on something that is not pure self-interest. You're building on people's ideas and values -- that perhaps they're candles that burn very dimly on certain occasions. But it is a set of values that cannot, in my view, be extinguished.
Then the question is, how do you make that change happen? How do you persuade people that it is in their interest to build strong ... After the Second World War, we built institutions, the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, the Marshall Plan. There was a period in which people talked about an act of creation, because these institutions were so new. But they are now out of date. They don't deal with the problems. As I said, you can't deal with the environmental problem through existing institutions. You can't deal with the security problem in the way that you need to. You can't deal with the economic and financial problem. So we have got to rebuild our global institutions, build them in a way that is suitable to the challenges of this time.
And I believe that if you look at the biggest challenge we face, it is to persuade people to have the confidence that we can build a truly global society with the institutions that are founded on these rules. So, I come back to my initial point. Sometimes you think things are impossible. Nobody would have said 50 years ago that apartheid would have gone in 1990, or that the Berlin wall would have fallen at the turn of the '80s and '90s, or that polio could be eradicated, or that perhaps 60 years ago nobody would have said that a man could have gone to the moon. All these things have happened. By tackling the impossible, you make the impossible possible.
CA: And we have had a speaker who said that very thing, and swallowed a sword right after that, which was quite dramatic. (Laughter)
GB: Followed my sword will swallow.
CA: But, surely a true global ethic is for someone to say, "I believe the life of every human on the planet is worth the same, equal consideration, regardless of nationality and religion." And you have politicians who have -- you're elected. In a way, you can't say that. Even if, as a human being, you believe that, you can't say that. You're elected for Britain's interests.
GB: We have a responsibility to protect. I mean look, 1918, the Treaty of Versailles, and all the treaties before that, the Treaty of Westphalia and everything else, were about protecting the sovereign right of individual countries to do what they want. Since then, the world has moved forward, partly as a result of what happened with the Holocaust, and people's concern about the rights of individuals within territories where they need protection, partly because of what we saw in Rwanda, partly because of what we saw in Bosnia. The idea of the responsibility to protect all individuals who are in situations where they are at humanitarian risk is now being established as a principle which governs the world.
So, while I can't automatically say that Britain will rush to the aid of any citizen of any country, in danger, I can say that Britain is in a position where we're working with other countries so that this idea that you have a responsibility to protect people who are victims of either genocide or humanitarian attack, is something that is accepted by the whole world.
Now, in the end, that can only be achieved if your international institutions work well enough to be able to do so. And that comes back to what the future role of the United Nations, and what it can do, actually is. But, the responsibility to protect is a new idea that is, in a sense, taken over from the idea of self-determination as the principle governing the international community.
CA: Can you picture, in our lifetimes, a politician ever going out on a platform of the kind of full-form global ethic, global citizenship? And basically saying that "I believe that all people across the planet have equal consideration, and if in power we will act in that way. And we believe that the people of this country are also now global citizens and will support that ethic ..."
GB: Is that not what we're doing in the debate about climate change? We're saying that you cannot solve the problem of climate change in one country; you've got to involve all countries. You're saying that you must, and you have a duty to help those countries that cannot afford to deal with the problems of climate change themselves.
You're saying you want a deal with all the different countries of the world where we're all bound together to cutting carbon emissions in a way that is to the benefit of the whole world. We've never had this before because Kyoto didn't work. If you could get a deal at Copenhagen, where people agreed, A, that there was a long-term target for carbon emission cuts,
B, that there was short-range targets that had to be met so this wasn't just abstract; it was people actually making decisions now that would make a difference now, and if you could then find a financing mechanism that meant that the poorest countries that had been hurt by our inability to deal with climate change over many, many years and decades are given special help so that they can move to energy-efficient technologies, and they are in a position financially to be able to afford the long-term investment that is associated with cutting carbon emissions, then you are treating the world equally, by giving consideration to every part of the planet and the needs they have.
It doesn't mean that everybody does exactly the same thing, because we've actually got to do more financially to help the poorest countries, but it does mean there is equal consideration for the needs of citizens in a single planet.
CA: Yes. And then of course the theory is still that those talks get rent apart by different countries fighting over their own individual interests.
GB: Yes, but I think Europe has got a position, which is 27 countries have already come together. I mean, the great difficulty in Europe is if you're at a meeting and 27 people speak, it takes a very very long time. But we did get an agreement on climate change. America has made its first disposition on this with the bill that President Obama should be congratulated for getting through Congress. Japan has made an announcement. China and India have signed up to the scientific evidence. And now we've got to move them to accept a long-term target, and then short-term targets. But more progress has been made, I think, in the last few weeks than had been made for some years.
And I do believe that there is a strong possibility that if we work together, we can get that agreement to Copenhagen. I certainly have been putting forward proposals that would have allowed the poorest parts of the world to feel that we have taken into account their specific needs. And we would help them adapt. And we would help them make the transition to a low carbon economy.
I do think a reform of the international institutions is vital to this. When the IMF was created in the 1940s, it was created with resources that were five percent or so of the world's GDP. The IMF now has limited resources, one percent. It can't really make the difference that ought to be made in a period of crisis. So, we've got to rebuild the world institutions. And that's a big task: persuading all the different countries with the different voting shares in these institutions to do so.
There is a story told about the three world leaders of the day getting a chance to get some advice from God. And the story is told that Bill Clinton went to God and he asked when there will be successful climate change and a low carbon economy. And God shook his head and said, "Not this year, not this decade, perhaps not even in your lifetime." And Bill Clinton walked away in tears because he had failed to get what he wanted.
And then the story is that Barroso, the president of the European Commission, went to God and he asked, he said, "When will we get a recovery of global growth?" And God said, "Not this year, not in this decade, perhaps not in your lifetime." So Barroso walked away crying and in tears.
And then the secretary general of the United Nations came up to speak to God and said, "When will our international institutions work?" And God cried.
(Laughter) It is very important to recognize that this reform of institutions is the next stage after agreeing upon ourselves that there is a clear ethic upon which we can build.
CA: Prime Minister, I think there are many in the audience who are truly appreciative of the efforts you made in terms of the financial mess we got ourselves into. And there are certainly many people in the audience who will be cheering you on as you seek to advance this global ethic. Thank you so much for coming to TED.

Teleworking is great; it allows professionals to meet their professional and personal goals. It provides flexibility that no cubicle could ever hope to match; however, there are drawbacks.

All of that word -- that the president's State of the Union Address tomorrow expected -- -- -- pivot.
Back to the economy job creation growth perhaps even may we'll hear that.
Here's why the president should never have straight away problem.
The economy new figures out today show that China has now officially surpassed the United States and is the world's biggest.
Biggest trading nation.
China's exports and imports of goods last year there exports and imports totaled three point 87 trillion.
Three point 87.
Compare to the US.
Three point 82 yes -- that follows.
But that's not all China also posted a four year trading surplus.
Billion dollars 231.
Million dollar -- While the United States reported a total trade deficit last year but just about 728.
Billion dollars.
That's a trillion dollar swing as -- minus.
And this is over -- and -- question -- A trillion dollar swing in trade China also posted.
This is incredible.
And eight point 2%.
Increase in its GDP in the latest quarter compared to our stunning decline.
Again another minus -- A point 1% of the -- in the fourth quarter.
Contracting economy -- some economy that is -- If it's on -- measurable -- -- that eight point 2% growth rate.
Feels like -- China's latest unemployment rate yes they've got unemployment.
That got an unemployment rate of core point.
Our unemployment rate of course seven point nine.
And China's government that yes they have debt they have one point eight trillion.
In debt.
-- a lot of money.
Ars is sixteen point five.
Trillion dollars in debt.
But you know -- I can't believe that the Chinese feel a little bit better about there's -- we're gonna add another trillion dollars or -- And meanwhile the United States.
Two trillion dollars.
One point two trillion -- There's just no there's no counterweight you may have noticed that at one point two trillion dollars.
It's a little problem for us to -- what is after all the Communist nation one point two trillion dollars and we are big -- capital strike.
What's wrong here -- we're gonna be talking about that very issue throughout the week.
Going to be looking at how the United States model compares to Europe's model and through the if you will the Communist model the Chinese model.
Is the Communist model any more sustainable than what what we -- And if no one has a model is really working maybe it's time to look at the possibility of a new model or.
Perhaps we should return to the values there created all of this well.
-- nearly all of the world.
But certainly for all of America.
Just -- -- We'll continue on all.

Brand Name(s): | WHY is this medicine prescribed? | HOW should this medicine be used? | Are there OTHER USES for this medicine? | What SPECIAL DIETARY instructions should I follow? | What should I do IF I FORGET to take a dose? | What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause? | What should I know about STORAGE and DISPOSAL of this medication? | What should I do in case of OVERDOSE? | What OTHER INFORMATION should I know? |
Tolazamide is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Tolazamide is in a class of medications called sulfonylureas. Tolazamide lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally. Tolazamide is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated).
Tolazamide comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. However, in some cases your doctor may tell you to take tolazamide twice a day. To help you remember to take tolazamide, take it at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take tolazamide exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of tolazamide and gradually increase your dose if needed. After you have taken tolazamide for some time, tolazamide may not control your blood sugar as well as it did at the beginning of your treatment. Your doctor may adjust the dose of your medication as needed so that the medication will work best for you. Be sure to tell your doctor how you are feeling and if your blood sugar test results have been higher or lower than normal at any time during your treatment.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking tolazamide,
Be sure to follow all exercise and dietary recommendations made by your doctor or dietitian. It is important to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and lose weight if necessary.
Before you start to take tolazamide, ask you doctor what you should do if you forget to take a dose. Write these directions down so that you can refer to them later.
As a general rule, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
This medication may cause changes in your blood sugar. You should know the symptoms of low and high blood sugar and what to do if you have these symptoms.
Tolazamide may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site ] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
In one study, people who took a medication similar to tolazamide to treat their diabetes were more likely to die of heart problems than people who were treated with insulin and diet changes. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking tolazamide.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from light, excess heat, and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood sugar and urine sugar levels should be checked regularly to determine your response to tolazamide. Your doctor may order other lab tests, including glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), to check your response to tolazamide. Your doctor will also tell you how to check your response to this medication by measuring your blood or urine sugar levels at home. Follow these instructions carefully.
You should always wear a diabetic identification bracelet to be sure you get proper treatment in an emergency.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.
