Review: Fora Dictionary lets you host multiple dictionaries
Combine multiple dictionaries you find online into one look-it-up application.
Fora Dictionary lets you combine multiple dictionaries into one feature-packed application you can even use when offline. While people who just need to look up words might get overwhelmed by the plethora of options, superusers will be delighted for sure.
Instead of giving you a dictionary to start with, this application lets you install dictionaries you find online to help you define words. It does come with Wikipedia preloaded, but that's not always the best option when defining words. Instead, if you don't have a dictionary file on your phone, you'll have to download a dictionary from inside of the app. That doesn't take long, but none of the listed sites rang a bell; they certainly weren't Webster's Dictionary or Dictionary.com. Once you have a dictionary loaded, you can enter any word to get a definition or a surprisingly accurate pronunciation. We especially liked the app's "Scanning mode," which, when turned on, allowed Fora Dictionary to define anything we copied to our phone's clipboard. Another nice feature is the app's built-in text-to-speech option -- super useful for learning how to pronounce translated words. Though the layout is just a blank, white screen with text, you can customize this app to your liking by changing its font, spacing, and other details.
Fora Dictionary is a solid app once you load dictionaries, but that might be more trouble than it's worth for some people when preloaded dictionary apps already exist. The app is useful if you build your own dictionaries or use a custom dictionary with industry terms or other words a regular dictionary wouldn't find. Outside of that, you'll have to play with this app for a while to see how it's best used.

two-factor authentication for desktop login?
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about implementing a two-factor authentication scheme for logging into a physical machine. I've seen some tutorials elsewhere where pam_usb is used but I've also read more about the insecurity of storing encryption keys on a USB stick.
I wonder if it would be possible to have some kind of LDAP or Kerberos login that uses a OTP (one time password) generated from either a hardware token or a software token on a cell phone. I've seen some really great tutorials here about the use of WiKID in this matter but not for a desktop login.

A federal appeals court Friday reaffirmed its decision that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional because of the phrase ''under God,'' a decision that immediately cast a cloud over the way the pledge is recited in schools and other public arenas in Arizona.
The ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals means the case could go to the U.S. Supreme Court. In Washington, a Justice Department spokesman said no decision has been made about whether to appeal the ruling.
Friday's decision came in response to a request by the Bush administration that the San Francisco-based court, which includes Arizona within its jurisdiction, reconsider its controversial ruling of last year. The court's previous ruling had no effect while the petition was pending.
In Scottsdale and other East Valley communities, public school districts said Friday they will consult with attorneys to find out how the latest decision will affect the pledge as recited by thousands of children.
"We'll have to get legal counsel. It's our wish to have the kids say the Pledge of Allegiance 'under God,' but this is the first we're hearing about it so we'll have to get some input," said Terry Locke, spokesman for the Chandler Unified School District.
Officials at the Arizona School Boards Association and state Attorney General's Office said they had not reviewed the appellate court's opinion as of late Friday and would have to research the potential impact on schools and other government groups where the pledge is recited. Many school boards, city councils and other government bodies recite the pledge before meetings.
Mesa Unified School District governing board member Elaine Miner said she was saddened by the court's ruling and hopes the district can find some avenue to keep "under God" in the pledge.
"It's really scary to think that people want to take God out of everything," she said.
The court said it would not accept any other petitions to reconsider last June's ruling by a three-judge panel that the pledge is unconstitutional when recited in public classrooms. Ruling on a lawsuit brought by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, the court panel decided 2-1 that Newdow's daughter should not be subjected to the words ''under God'' at her public school. The court said the phrase was an endorsement of God, and the Constitution forbids public schools or other governmental entities from endorsing religion.
In Scottsdale, like other school districts, the pledge is voluntary, said spokeswoman Carol Hughes. District attorneys will examine what happens next for the pledge, she said.
''We're just finding out the appellate court refused to reconsider their decision. We're going to have to take a look at it and see how we move forward,'' she said.
Apache Junction schools have not changed the way the pledge is said since last summer's ruling, said district spokeswoman Carol Shepherd. Teachers have the option of starting the day with the students by reciting the pledge, but students are not forced to say the pledge or the ''under God,'' portion, she said.
''If the child would choose not to say 'under God' that would be fully up to them. There's freedom of speech," she said.
Shepherd has not heard from parents regarding any court rulings about the pledge.
Pauline Sanchez, Mesa mother of seven children, said she likes how the pledge includes a reference to a higher being and agrees with how it has been said for many years.
"It should be included because it focuses on the best of us. Those who don't want to say it are free not to say it. But I think the majority of America is faith-based on a creator and I think the majority has the right to have that," she said.
President Bush and Congress immediately condemned the decision, which would prevent public schoolchildren from reciting the pledge in the nine western states covered by the nation's largest — and, critics charge, most liberal — appeals court.
Those states are Arizona, Alaska, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
Congress added the words "under God'' to the pledge in 1954.

Ford drops the top on the 2008 Shelby GT, new color, too
Drip...Drip...The info on the 2008 Shelby GT has been leaked, and Mustang Evolution has the details. Unsurprisingly, a convertible version has been added to the stable, per se. We say it's unsurprising because after the introduction of the Hertz-only Shelby GT-H convertible, we figured that a Shelby GT version was a lock -- we just didn't know when it'd come. The coupe's still available, too, and '08 model year shoppers don't need to make any decisions with regard to color: the car's only available in Vista Blue with Metallic Silver stripes.
If you want one in Performance White or Black Ebony, you'd better set about getting yourself an '07. The powertrain's unchanged, so look for 320 horsepower coming from the lightly-massaged 4.6L V8 underhood. As with the '07, both manual and automatic transmissions will be available. We hear that the word on all this becomes official next week, so we'll follow-up then.

Junior in college...should I go to Ivy Tech or apply for BSN? - page 3
I'm doing pretty well but I just want to gradute asap and make some money. I've been thinking about applying for BSN at Nursing schools in several campuses and several others but stumbled upon the idea of Community Colleges.... Read More
- 0Mar 24, '08 by Innurse78I am not sure where or what you mean by "points"?
I never had any of my advisors mention this to me. They just signed me up for the correct classes that I needed and then I signed myself up for the rest on line as I was also PT.
The Micro that I am currently taking can transfer to IU. ( I looked into that before taking it) and its counts as a course for my BSN.
True, Ivy Tech does not offer BSN. But one can get that on line in 18 months.
Sounds like you had a horrid experience with FW.
When I put my app in for transitional in Indy, I did not get a good feeling right off the bat. The secretary was abrupt, nonhelpful and told me that I had to fill in the spots that said" office use only" before she would accept it. Egads........I did get accepted there but declined them immediatly. Yet others love the campus.
Where as Columbus, one lady walked me through the whole school to make sure that all my records were in the right place for my application. I was very impressed.
But I am curious about those " points" as I have never heard of them and I have been there PT for 18 months and start full time in May.
- 0Mar 24, '08 by racing-mom4I went to Ivy Tech in 03 and I dont know if the "points" had an official name or not, we just refered to them as points.
But to get into clinical, they looked at GPA/TEAS ( but when I went it was the NET test--similar format to the TEAS ) and how many "points" you had.
A&P 1 and 2 were worth 3 points. English-communications and psych were worth 1 point. Chemistry and Advanced A&P3 were worth 4 points, Micro I think was worth 3. So you had for example as I dont remember the exact number say 16 points total. So to get into the nursing program and start clinicals they went wtih TEAS score/GPA and how many "points".
I had a high TEAS/NET, in fact higher than any of my friends. a pretty good GPA, at least 3.25 if not 3.5. but only had 10 or 12 points.
So I was told I had to get my points up. I still had not taken the 3rd A&P or the chemistry or micro, but was sched to take them in Spring or Summer, I dont recall now, but they pick the Fall nursing class in Jan/Feb --because I do remember now, I was in the Micro, and was getting an A, but since grades wouldnt come out till May, it didnt matter, I was not allowed those points in Feb.
So that meant, I would not get in that Fall. I would have to wait till Fall of the following year. and I had no other classes to take!!! I was done, but since I waited to take my higher point classes at the end, I burned myself. Had I have taken those 1st vs the English and or Communications class that were only worth 1 point each, I didnt have enough.
So I transfered the following Fall.....then apparently the wait list dwindled, because after I transfered they called me that January to tell me I was in for the following Fall.
I have seen post about Ivy Tech on here now and I think they have thier points thing down to just 4 pre-reqs.
FYI when I began at Ivy Tech it was the 1st year they offered an ASN program, so I may give them a tad benifit of the doubt for not being up to par. I am sure they had some bugs to work out.
- 0Mar 24, '08 by Innurse78I think you do mean the scores from the 4 pre-req's from what I gather from your post.
When I went to the nursing meeting, we were told that we would all be assigned to our clinicals when we go for oritenation ( which is next week)! yeehaw!!!
If you still need, say Chem to be done, they sceduule you in class for that, the same for other co-req's if you still need to do them.
They won't let you apply if you do not have those grades from the completed 4 co-req's.
How times have changed!
I am just thankful we don't have to wear white! OMG we had to wear all white dresses, pantyhose, white shoes and that godforsaken huge HAT when I went to school in 1991 for my LPN. The darn thing kept getting caught on the railings of the beds as I knelt down to empty a cath!
yehaw! B-town is going with black pants, a white short sleved top and a white tunic.
- 0Mar 24, '08 by racing-mom4When I went there were no Co-reqs. All of the pre-reqs had a point system applied to them. Those points were used to get in.
On the flip side, by the time I finally got into clinicals I was done with everything, except micro(because it didnt transfer) that all I had to worry about was my nursing classes/clinicals. I took Micro with Fundamentals, so it wasnt too hard.
I shudder to think of taking Patho or pharm along with a nursing class/clinical.
- 0Mar 24, '08 by wishNhopeNdreamNI believe when you applied in 2003 that not all campuses were standard in the way they chose canidates. My School did not even require a TEAS in 2003.
I believe as of last year all were required to switch to a more standard procedure for selecting canidates. Points are given for each pre req by grade, and the TEAS score is figured in to rank the canidates. Also, points are given for attending region of residence. I believe all Ivy Techs now it do this way.
It sounds like FW when you went did not have their act together.I understand why you would be somewhat bitter about your experience, but I don't feel it is fair to hold against Ivy Tech for what they have since fixed. Making things more standard across the board allows for more fairness in the system. FW campus may be totally different then when you were last there. Just my .02
- 0Mar 24, '08 by amj12I live in Northwest Indiana and I know the Ivy Tech's up this way have a very poor reputation. Nurses who work w/their students or their graduates talk about how poorly prepared they are. So just because their NCLEX pass rate may be high doesn't mean it is a solid program preparing nurses to be nurses once the RN is behind their name.

Don't let the blocks touch the top bar and enjoy the new gameplay
Block Attack Free Puzzle Game is a block puzzle game where the objective is to line up 3 or more blocks of the same color horizontally or vertically so they explode.
New lines keep appearing non-stop so you need to be quick and make as many blocks as you can disappear in order to prevent the blocks to get to the top part of the screen, which will make your game to stop after seven seconds. But don't expect the typical gameplay where you need to touch and swap the blocks; this time, you use four arrows to move around the blocks and the right buttons to rotate and play freely.
The game board is complete and it has all the options set together so you can visualize everything in just one sight. The design is extremely neat and usable, there are no problems whatsoever and the graphics are in high resolution.
Tapps - Top Apps and Games is the developer of Block Attack Free Puzzle Game, a classic game with an original gameplay that elevates it above other puzzle games which are based on the same old touch and swap controls all over again. Definitely a worthy app for those who want to have a brand new experience.
Block Attack is a challenging puzzle with a very simple game play. Line up 3 or more blocks of the same color in horizontal or vertical lines to make them disappear. As new lines appears from the bottom, destroy as many blocks as you can to avoid the pile to reach the top. Once the pile reaches the top of the playfield, you have 7 seconds to manage the pieces, otherwise the game is over.

Needs bett3r music pls. Game play not as smooth as tetris attack. Single player survior mode only. Bombs are pointless as speed is way slow for any advanced plyer. Ads annoying. No shutdown pause sustainablity.
Great tetris attack remake. Though the replay value is low due to lackluster sound and the absence of a scoreboard. Controls are simple and easy to use.

News articles on threats to the amazon
Mongabay.com news articles on threats to the amazon in blog format. Updated regularly.
(06/03/2009) Former US president Bill Clinton spoke out against rainforest destruction on Monday in Brazil. Headlining the Ethanol Summit 2009 in Sao Paulo, Clinton spoke of the positive role ethanol could play in lowering carbon emissions, but not when at the expense of rainforest.
Nike, Unilever, Burger King, IKEA may unwittingly contribute to Amazon destruction, says Greenpeace
(06/01/2009) Major international companies are unwittingly driving the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest through their purchases of leather, beef and other products supplied from the Brazil cattle industry, alleges a new report from Greenpeace. The report, Slaughtering the Amazon, is based on a three-year undercover investigation of the Brazilian cattle industry, which accounts for 80 percent of Amazon deforestation and roughly 14 percent of the world's annual forest loss. Greenpeace found that Brazilian beef companies are important suppliers of raw materials used by leading global brands, including Adidas/Reebok, Nike, Carrefour, Eurostar, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Toyota, Honda, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, IKEA, Kraft, Tesco and Wal-Mart, among others.
Rainforest soy moratorium shows success in the Brazilian Amazon
(04/15/2009) An industry-led moratorium on soy plantings on recently deforested rainforest land continues to show success in the Brazilian Amazon, reports a study released Tuesday by environmental groups and Abiove, the soy industry group that formed the initiative and represents about 90 percent of Brazil's soy crush. The satellite-based study showed that only 12 of 630 sample areas (1,389 of 157,896 hectares) deforested since July 2006 — the date the moratorium took effect — were planted with soy.
Reserves with roads still vital for reducing fires in Brazilian Amazon
(04/08/2009) Analyzing ten years of data from on fires in the Brazilian Amazon, researchers found that roads built through reserves do not largely hamper a reserve's important role in reducing the spread of forest fires. The finding is important as Brazil continues a spree of road-building while at the same time paving over existing roads.
Revolutionary new theory overturns modern meteorology with claim that forests move rain
(04/01/2009) Two Russian scientists, Victor Gorshkov and Anastassia Makarieva of the St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics, have published a revolutionary theory that turns modern meteorology on its head, positing that forests—and their capacity for condensation—are actually the main driver of winds rather than temperature. While this model has widespread implications for numerous sciences, none of them are larger than the importance of conserving forests, which are shown to be crucial to 'pumping' precipitation from one place to another. The theory explains, among other mysteries, why deforestation around coastal regions tends to lead to drying in the interior.
Amazonian region likely to become savannah due to burning, deforestation
(03/31/2009) A new analysis shows that the heavily-deforested Amazonian region of Mato Grosso is particularly susceptible to 'savannization' due to repeated burning that has likely depleted the region's soils of precious nutrients. According to the study, published in the Journal of Geophyscial Research, savannization, or the process of tropical ecosystems shifting to savannah, is likely in northern Mato Grosso even if no further deforestation occurs.
Will palm oil drive deforestation in the Amazon?
(03/23/2009) Already a significant driver of tropical forest conversion across southeast Asia, oil palm expansion could emerge as threat to the Amazon rainforest due to a proposed change in Brazil's forest law, new infrastructure, and the influence of foreign companies in the region, according to researchers writing in the open-access journal Tropical Conservation Science. William F. Laurance, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama City, Panama, and Rhett A. Butler, founder of environmental science web site Mongabay.com, warn that oil palm expansion in the Brazilian Amazon is likely to occur at the expense of natural forest as a result of a proposed revision to the forest code which requires land owners to retain 80 percent forest on lands in the Amazon. The new law would allow up to 30 percent of this reserve to consist of oil palm.
Beef consumption fuels rainforest destruction
(02/16/2009) Nearly 80 percent of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon results from cattle ranching, according to a new report by Greenpeace. The finding confirms what Amazon researchers have long known – that Brazil's rise to become the world's largest exporter of beef has come at the expense of Earth's biggest rainforest. More than 38,600 square miles has been cleared for pasture since 1996, bringing the total area occupied by cattle ranches in the Brazilian Amazon to 214,000 square miles, an area larger than France. The legal Amazon, an region consisting of rainforests and a biologically-rich grassland known as cerrado, is now home to more than 80 million head of cattle. For comparison, the entire U.S. herd was 96 million in 2008.
Global warming may drive the Amazon rainforest toward seasonal forests rather than savanna

Independent of climate, forest cover in southern Amazon may fall to 20% by 2016
(09/03/2008) Forest cover in the "Arc of Deforestation" of southern Amazonia will decline to around 20 percent 2016 due to continued logging and conversion of forests for cattle pasture and soy farms, report researchers writing in the journal Environmental Conservation. Analyzing high resolution satellite data from 1984 through 2004 for the Alta Floresta region in northern Mato Grosso, Fernanda Michalski, Carlos Peres and Iain Lake of the University of East Anglia found that forest cover declined from from 91.1 percent to 41.7 percent between 1984 and 2004. They note that while the deforestation rate has slowed to around 2 percent per year since peaking at more than 8 percent annually in late 1980s to mid-1990s, renewed expansion of road networks will enable loggers to increasingly exploit remaining forests, leading to degradation and likely eventual conversion for agricultural use. Overall Michalski and colleagues forecast that forest cover in Alta Floresta will fall to 21 percent by 2016, a decline of 77 percent since 1984.
Indian protesters win land rights battle against Peru's President Garcia
(08/31/2008) Peru's Congress rejected two decrees by President Alan García that made it easier for foreign developers to buy Amazon rainforest land. The repeal came just two days after lawmakers struck a deal with indigenous rights groups whose protests over the law had shut down oil and gas operations. The groups were worried that the laws weakened their land rights in favor of loggers, miners, and drillers.
Amazon deforestation jumps 69% in 2008
(08/31/2008) Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon increased 69 percent in the past 12 months as high commodity prices have driven forest conversion for ranches and cropland, according to preliminary figures released by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The increase comes after three consecutive years of declining deforestation in Brazil.

Oil development could destroy the most biodiverse part of the Amazon
(08/12/2008) 688,000 square kilometers (170 million acres) of the western Amazon is under concession for oil and gas development, according to a new study published in the August 13 edition of the open-access journal PLoS ONE. The results suggest the region, which is considered by scientists to be the most biodiverse on the planet and is home to some of the world's last uncontacted indigenous groups, is at great risk of environmental degradation.

Aquarium fish trade linked to cocaine, timber smuggling in Brazil
(08/10/2008) Smugglers are using the ornamental fish trade to traffic cocaine and illegally logged timber according to a report from Sérgio Abranches of O Eco, a leading Brazilian environmental web site.
Shift from poverty-driven to industry-driven deforestation may help conservation
(08/06/2008) A shift from poverty-driven deforestation to industry-driven deforestation in the tropics may offer new opportunities for forest conservation, argues a new paper published in the journal Trends in Evolution & Ecology.
Corporations become prime driver of deforestation, providing clear target for environmentalists
(08/05/2008) The major drivers of tropical deforestation have changed in recent decades. According to a forthcoming article, deforestation has shifted from poverty-driven subsistence farming to major corporations razing forests for large-scale projects in mining, logging, oil and gas development, and agriculture. While this change makes many scientists and conservationists uneasy, it may allow for more effective action against deforestation. Rhett A. Butler of Mongabay.com, a leading environmental science website focusing on tropical forests, and William F. Laurance of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama believe that the shift to deforestation by large corporations gives environmentalists and concerned governments a clear, identifiable target that may prove more responsive to environmental concerns.
Rainforests face array of emerging threats
(06/15/2008) Tropical forests face a number of emerging threats said a leading biologist speaking at a scientific conference in Paramaribo, Suriname.
Cocaine use is destroying the Amazon rainforest, says new campaign
(05/26/2008) A new campaign has linked cocaine consumption in Europe and the United States to destruction of the Amazon rainforest in Colombia.
Brazil will forge its own path for developing the Amazon
(05/15/2008) The Brazilian government will use cheap loans, payments, and other benefits to encourage Amazon farmers to reduce their impact on the Amazon rainforest, under a plan unveiled last week
Brazil's environmental minister resigns after losing Amazon fight

Industry-driven road-building to fuel Amazon deforestation
(03/12/2008) Unofficial road-building will be a major driver of deforestation and land-use change in the Amazon rainforest, according to an analysis published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. Improved governance, as exemplified by the innovative MAP Initiative in the southwestern Amazon, could help reduce the future impact of roads, without diminishing economic prospects in the region.
Cellulosic energy may trigger dramatic collapse in the Amazon
(03/11/2008) Next generation biofuels may trigger the ecological collapse of the Amazon frontier and could have profoundly unexpected economic consequences for the region, warns a paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. Dr. Donald Sawyer writes that "interacting with climate change and land use, the upcoming stage of cellulosic energy could result in a collapse of the new frontier into vast degraded pasture." The shift could increase the incidence and severity of fires, reduce rainfall in key agricultural zones, exacerbate forest die-back and climate change, and worsen social instability. Sawyer says that while difficult to anticipate, the worst outcomes could likely be avoided be promoting "intensified and more sustainable use" of already cleared areas, minimizing new deforestation, and encouraging "sustainable use of natural resources by local communities."
Human impacts on primate conservation in central Amazonia
(03/03/2008) Deforestation in the Amazon is a serious concern. In the Brazilian Amazon, forests are cleared for cattle ranches, soybean cultivation, and selective logging practices. A new plan to settle approximately 180 families north of Manaus, the capital city of the state of Amazonas, has created widespread controversy. The land plots would be located within the study site of the longest-running study of forest fragmentation, the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP). Therefore, the plan would threaten scientific research at the BDFFP and other nearby research sites operated by the Instituto Nacional da Pesquisas de Amazônia (INPA) and Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA), as well as the future of the Central Amazonian conservation Corridor.
Half the Amazon rainforest will be lost within 20 years
(02/27/2008) More than half the Amazon rainforest will be damaged or destroyed within 20 years if deforestation, forest fires, and climate trends continue apace, warns a study published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. Reviewing recent trends in economic, ecological and climatic processes in Amazonia, Daniel Nepstad and colleagues forecast that 55 percent of Amazon forests will be "cleared, logged, damaged by drought, or burned" in the next 20 years. The damage will release 15-26 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, adding to a feedback cycle that will worsen both warming and forest degradation in the region. While the projections are bleak, the authors are hopeful that emerging trends could reduce the likelihood of a near-term die-back. These include the growing concern in commodity markets on the environmental performance of ranchers and farmers; greater investment in fire control mechanisms among owners of fire-sensitive investments; emergence of a carbon market for forest-based offsets; and the establishment of protected areas in regions where development is fast-expanding.
Greenhouse gas emissions have already caused the Amazon to dry
(02/27/2008) Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases have already caused the Amazon to dry, finds a new study published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
Small fires a big threat to Amazon rainforest biodiversity
(02/27/2008) Small fires have a big impact in the Amazon rainforest, report researchers writing in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The findings suggest a dire future for Earth's largest rainforest.
Deforestation a greater threat to the Amazon than global warming
(02/25/2008) If past conditions are any indication of future conditions, the Amazon rainforest may survive considerable drying and warming caused by global warming, argue researchers in a paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
conservation strategies can mitigate the impact of global warming in the Amazon
(02/19/2008) Careful design of protected areas to safeguard key "refugia" and allow for migration can increase the resilience of Amazon biodiversity to climate change, report researchers writing in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
Small Amazon farmers especially vulnerable to climate change
(02/19/2008) Communicating the impact of climate change to small farmers in the Amazon will be key in helping them adapt to higher temperatures, more frequent and intense drought, and greater incidence of forest fires forecast for the region, according to a paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
Fire policy is key to reducing the impact of drought on the Amazon
(02/19/2008) Gaining control over the setting of fires for land-clearing in the Amazon is key to reducing deforestation and the impact of severe drought on the region's forests, write researchers in a paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
Cheap ranch loans may be driving jump in Amazon deforestation
(02/12/2008) Surging deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon may be partly the result of new financial incentives given by state banks such as the Bank of Amazon (BASA), reports Agencia de Noticias da Amazonia, a Brazilian newspaper, and the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO).
Steel production drives deforestation in Brazil's Pantanal
(02/11/2008) A steel mill in Corumbá, in the heart of Brazil's Pantanal wetland, is fueling destruction of forests for charcoal and undermining the rights of Amazonian forest dwellers, reports the Inter Press Service.
How much would it cost to end Amazon deforestation?
(01/27/2008) With Brazil last week announcing a significant jump in Amazon deforestation during the second half of 2007, the question emerges, how much would it cost to end the destruction of Earth's largest rainforest?

Welcome to your lodge! :)
Thanks ladies!
I'm hoping to have about 3 weeks left or so. I just got back from my 36 week OB appointment. After asking him further questions, my plan is to show up to the hospital to push and no earlier. I"m not excited about getting an IV or the lack of a tub to labor in. We'll see if that works out. :lol: I do like and trust my OB and have met the L&D nurses and they seem cool with my plans at least. I don't know if I have it in me to refuse the IV if I show up too early though. He uses it to deliver pitocin after delivery and could give me an IM shot (which he says he does for those that show up too late for an IV). I'm no stranger to IM shots and while they aren't pleasant, they're better than having to move around with a dang IV pole on wheels. I'm okay with the pitocin being delivered afterwards as a precaution.
There are no midwives in my area so a homebirth isn't an option since I wouldn't feel comfortable going unassisted. With my last baby, I showed up almost ready to push so hopefully it'll be the same this time around.
This is my third baby, fourth pregnancy. We did IVF for the first two pregnancies, then my DH had a varicocele repaired which completely fixed his fertility issues. We've gotten pregnant the first month of trying for the last two kids. This is our last kid.
The girls want lunch so I'd better stop here.
Here's the story of my first labor and delivery, copied from my blog and written years ago. I have a different perspective now.
Short Story: Mina Catherine was born at 1:46am on December 29th. She was 7 lbs, 11oz and 20.5 inches in length. She's extremely cute and worth everything we went through to get her. If anyone wonders about the pronunciation, Mina is pronounced me-nah, rhymes with Tina, Gina, etc.
Long Story: The labor was about 24 hours in length. Thursday morning I had my membranes stripped and was dilated 1.5-2 cm. I felt icky all day and had contractions here and there. I woke up Friday morning at about 1am having contractions that I couldn't ignore every 5 minutes or so. I went and took a bath and let Jon sleep some more to see if they would regulate or go away. By 3am Jon was up with me timing contractions using contraction master and we went in to the hospital around 7am or so after I lost my mucous plug. They checked me and I was making progress. Unfortunately pain makes me puke so I was a real mess until I got my epidural around 2pm. I puked whenever I had to change position and couldn't keep water in my system. It didn't help that I was having back labor. I slept all afternoon and progressed to about 8cm and stalled out. At this point they figured out the baby wasn't quite in the perfect position so they tried to get her to move unsuccessfully. They weren't sure if she was transverse or sunny side up or a combination of the two. I started feeling pain and pressure (and nausea) again in the evening and went through hours of labor wanting to push and getting pitocin to try to get things moving again. My bag of waters broke in the afternoon (with assistance) and had meconium in it so they didn't want me to just lay around for too long. Finally they allowed me to push after I begged and wimpered and my personality came out from the fog of pain. The doctor said she'd give me two hours to push because the baby was sunny side up and because of the meconium. Baby's heartrate decelerated some so they kept having me change from side to side (making me puke some more) to get baby happier. I pushed my heart out and they couldn't believe I got the hang of it after just a contraction or two. I decided before I even started pushing that I was going to be good at that part and I was right. Because of Mina's position it still took a long time to get her to descend at all. The doctor stopped by and told me 20 minutes to baby or c-section and I said there was no way in hell I was getting a c-section after laboring that long. I pushed like my life depended on it and got her to descend far enough that the doctor felt comfortable attempting a forceps delivery.
With her position there was no way she was coming out without assistance. On came the forceps and out came the baby. She had to go to the NICU right away to make sure she didn't aspirate meconium while I got stitched up (4th degree tear – ouch!). She was nice and healthy and I got to meet her a couple of hours later. We started to get the hang of nursing by midmorning and had lots of visiting family stop by. On Sunday Mina had a brief fever that slightly concerned the nurse. On Monday she had a fever again right as we were going to be released so they kept us and ran every test known to man on Mina, including a spinal tap. She seemed really healthy, but they wanted to make sure she didn't have some sort of infection before they sent her home. Since Monday she hasn't had a fever at all and has been doing everything well – eating, pooping, peeing, sleeping, crying, snuggling, etc. and they finally released us from the hospital on Wednesday night. We are so glad to be home. I can't believe how lucky we are to have the little daughter we always wanted.
***It took months for me to be able to get groceries without limping, be intimate with my husband, or wear normal pants. I also had a cathetar in for about 24 hours after delivery that added to the pain level. I was a mess! For the next baby, I was determined to get her into a better position if possible.

FreeBSD 10.1
Distributed as installable or Live CDs for five architectures
The project is distributed as installable only CD ISO image that support the 32-bit/x86 compatible (including Pentium and Athlon), 64-bit/amd64 compatible (including Opteron, Athlon 64, and EM64T), IA-64 (ia64), PPC (PowerPC), and SPARC instruction set architectures.
It is also essential to mention that this operating system is not a Linux distribution, and it features several stable branches. While the 10.x branch delivers all the latest BSD technologies and it is considered the latest stable release, the 9.x and 8.x branches have been classified as legacy releases.
Boot options
The operating system provides users with a text-mode, minimal boot menu from where they can boot into the multi user or single user environments, drop to a shell prompt for system rescuing tasks, choose a stable or old kernel, as well as to reboot the machine.
Additionally, you can configure various boot options, such as support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), safe mode, single user and verbose. After the system boots, you will be asked if want to install the distribution of use the live environment.
Bottom line
Summing up, FreeBSD is without no doubt an advanced operating system that powers some of the most modern desktop, server and embedded systems around the world. Thanks to its state-of-the-art security and advanced features, FreeBSD is used by a plethora of powerful companies to deliver modern services, as well as to respond to changing needs and demands.

The year was 1994 and Airwalk had an instant hit with the "Jim" trio. In true irreverent skate fashion, the "Jim" styles poked fun at more traditional sports, with a hi-top made from goosepimpled basketball rubber, a fuzzy low style fashioned from tennis-ball fabric, and a golf-inspired style (not pictured) with a dimpled toe. Though these styles have been relegated to the archives, there are still some pairs in existence, that Airwalk has released now. Look out for them and worst case scenario, you will have to look on eBay.

What Did Holder's Response Really Mean?Submitted by robbjerk on Thu, 03/07/2013 - 17:33
This is a perceptive article. Notice also that Holder specifically named drones--leaving any other chosen method of elimination within bounds.

But any other means, including Apache Helicopter hovering 5 miles away may be used, or potentially tactical nuclear weapons, aside from the obvious sniper and similar methods.

What he really said was, Yes the president does have
the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American "believed" to be in in combat on American soil. All others would require a different method of execution such as police, SWAT, DHS, CIA, UN, etc. etc.

So I had been to (LITERALLY) every dealership in the southern Bay Area and my last stop was Capitol Chevrolet. I had called and talked with the online salesman Steve and he gave me a very good price over the phone. So I went down to the dealership and he kept every word that he said. I got an even better model then I was looking for, for an even better price. This is a great dealership and I would recommend it to anyone.

Maxim Media International, a worldwide distributor of independent horror films has acquired Slaughter Daughter for worldwide distribution. Plans are underway to release the film on DVD and Video On Demand with the North America imprint Brain Damage Films. Official artwork and release dates are coming soon!
Slaughter Daughter is the brainchild of Director Travis Campbell and Writer/Producer Lauren Miller. Campbell and Miller also partnered up on their previous feature, Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical. After Mr. Bricks was completed, they begin brainstorming a new idea about a matricidal young woman named Farrah. They immediately thought of Nicola Fiore, one of the stars of Mr. Bricks, to play the lead. Italian Giallo films of the 1970s, soap operas, and true crime novels all became the inspirations behind Slaughter Daughter.
In January of 2011, the team began to build an online presence for the film and shot the first of what would become a weekly web series lasting 8 episodes. The series focused in on Farrah's stint in a mental hospital and aired on YouTube. From there, the team pulled up their socks and climbed the uphill battle of making independent film. Fueled by inspiration and determination, they completed the project and gave birth to something truly inspired.
'ÄúSlaughter Daughter'ÄĚ is an inspirational film to me.'ÄĚ says director Travis Campbell. 'ÄúI know this sounds strange since it is a horror movie, yet making the film was an opportunity for me to get out of my comfort zone. I was excited to get inside the female psyche. Independent film is a hard business, and some say it is dead. There is no money and at the end of the night, you know you have to go back to the daily grind the next morning. My hope is my movie will stand out and rescue you from this monotony. With¬†Slaughter Daughter¬†I believe this is entirely possible.'ÄĚ

|This element was first introduced on the Speed Monster at TusenFryd (Vinterbro, Oslo Norway).
Looking at the element from the side it looks very much like a pretzel. It is also very similar to the "Pretzel Loop" element used on flying coasters. The difference is the "Norwegian Loop" has a ½ inline twist at the start of the element and another at the end. This makes two inversions and the Pretzel Loop" has only one.

Re:Hope it works... (12 comments)
Maybe this could allow for different form factor customizations. Think about how the phone part that requires FCC certification is a small brick completely encased in the equivalent of faraday cage except for where the external antenna plugs in. Then, this mechanism could create whatever kind of case/IO devices/instruments/ports/plugins where the comm brick just sits inside. Then you can have a slideout and a standard ribbon cable connects it, and this slide out sits on the bottom of a chassis that also hosts the display, camera, speaker, microphone, port array and whatever else you want. Think like the electric skateboard that all the different Tesla models are built on top of. Roadster, sedan, crossover, SUV doesn't matter. it all sits on the same skateboard that holds the important stuff for making the car move. Also could think of it as application engine and front-end UI, except as written in hardware.

Re:Developer? (220 comments)
If I can do all this, why would I want to remain a tester? Why wouldn't I get into development?
Maybe you like breaking things, not building them.
Actually, I didn't break it, I discovered where it was already broken when it was given to me.
If I'm doing my job right, I build tools that automatically identify where something is already broken. Then we can use that tool to give actionable insight to the developer about where they strayed before they've swapped their brain to a new context.

So, turns out that the web based VPN software we're moving to at work doesn't work with Windows ME (which I've sadly been running at home for my desktop for quite a while because it has usually worked with whatever VPN I've been trying to use for wherever I've been working at the moment).
So on top of SBC DSL being crap where we are now, I'm upgrading to XP. It's actually gone OK, except for having problems removing some VPN software that's incompatible with XP, but the uninstall doesn't remove everything, so you have to go searching. But that's another story.
Seems like tech issues are getting slowly resolved, though. Between lousy reception from the linksys WAP/router and SBC's nonsense and non-responsiveness, it's going a little better.
Going to put up a christmas tree this year, since the Bay Area bits of the family-in-law are coming here instead of us all trooping down to Santa Cruz. That should be an adventure.
Otherwise, work is work (which is somewhat interesting, as we're piloting a semi-xp method for developing some stuff this push... turning out ok, but there's negative time savings because of learning curve -- mine on java). Family is ok, except for my paternal grandmother passing away on Monday. 98 years old and she was worried on Sunday about making sure her great-grandson would get the cake she was supposed to baking for his birthday. She is missed, and one of my few regrets is not being able to have visited more often.
So, I did get the job at Netflix, and I'm really enjoying it a lot. There's a lot to do, but there is a deeply rooted common interest in making sure that we focus on the important stuff, not the busywork. Can't really avoid it, since there's no time to do busywork with all of the projects that directly affect the bottom line.
On top of the new job and baby, we've also moved from San Francisco to the south bay. Instead of our commutes being 45-50 minutes with a big variance for traffic and weather, we each now have 15-20 minutes of low variance commuting. Over the course of a year, it's like having an extra two weeks. It's already come in handy in trying to settle in to the new place. We moved in at the end of September, and still have a few boxes here and there that need to be unloaded and broken down.
While a lot of what is going on is tiring, it's tiring in a good way. I feel very fortunate in the opportunities I've been able to pursue and the breaks that I've gotten.
Well, hopefully I'll remember to check in more often. Then again, why should I be any better with
At 4:30pm on June 12, 2003, Lucinda Rose Gilbert-Fagen emerged into the world,

be a relatively quick birth, in that there was only about 15 minutes of actual

Hmm. Over a year since I wrote anything. What's changed since I plunked down that previous non-entry?
That's all off the top of my head. Maybe I'll discuss those topics more in other journal entries.
Cool. I didn't know that this feature was offered on
Ok. I'll stop screwing off now.

Bump on bridge after septorhinoplasty 9 days post op. Will it be permanent? (Photo)
bruise and bump on my bridge as soon as cast removed. It feels like bone and the ENT has told me to keep an eye on it. instant reaction when he removed it was he has not seen this in a long time. Will it be permanent? Before the op I never had a bump on my bridge it was smooth but he rasped and did osteotomies to lower my bridge. Straight after before he put the cast on he took photographs which he showed me later and there were no bumps then. top of the bridge between the eyes also looks wider.

You are following with your surgeon, which is good. 9 days is very early to make a determination about the final result.

Jon88 (25th November 2009), Little-Miss (13th September 2009)
I wrote this small app that sits nicely in the top right hand corner of your screen as some of the teachers were using there laptops at home and at school.
It gives them the option to turn add and remove their proxy settings with out having to remember how to do it manualy (as we all know some teachers arent the most technical people).
I also intergrated an admin logon button as some of the senior teachers were having laptops that are not on the network.. but they still wanted to run things like PARS and SIMS when in school.
I am going to put together a .NET version of this soon which have just the proxy on proxy off buttons.
You can get the current VB6 version here:
NOTE: Once you have downloaded the file Unzip it to your desktop then run Quick Install.bat.
You will then need to go to the C:\UtilBar directory and edit th VBS files to suit your network.
It may be useful for some of you or it may seem a complete waste of time.
Let me know if you are interested in the newer (.NET) version as it will prompt me to get off my backside and write it.
Jon88 (25th November 2009), Little-Miss (13th September 2009)
Looks good Craig.
I happened to be looking for something similar today and came across this freeware
Net Profiles | Download
I have thought for a while it would be useful to change network settings based on physical location, like OSX has done for ages.
This sounds like it does just that. Haven't had a chance to test it yet. But could be useful if it's more than just the proxy that needs changing.
Cheers Craigg, I had just the job for this
whats wrong with proxypal?
Nice app but if you have an internal automatic proxy setup it gets around all of the hassle of changing proxy settings. laptops can then connect to any setup that uses an automatic proxy including home broadband.

Thanks craig,
your link dont seem to be working though...
Site seems to be down at the moment.
Unfortunatly i can't post another link until later on as our councils "lovely" restrictions on the internet forbid it.
I will try and sort something out though.
Thanks for the replys so far anyway, I do realise I have re-invented the wheel though haha. Even still, it passed some time and if it helps someone out at the same time thats a bonus.
I've been using Proxy Switcher Lite, which is free and works well - BUT only if the teachers/kids actually remember to switch when necessary (and don't delete/turn off/remove settings from the app). This software is at least a bit more "visible".
What I would like is for the proxy to automatically turn on for all protocols at school, but off for home.
Here's one I made earlier for our schools in stoke, if anyone wants a custom one, feel free to ask and I'll happily knock one together for you.
I will create you an application tonight and PM it your way
I am using a pac file that will set the proxy with no user intervention.
That sounds like a good idea, although like anything possibly has flaws and doesn't teach teachers that they need to make sure there proxy's are in etc. Plus teachers tend to pass applications between each other to resolve issues, where as something thats not seen is harder to explain.
Just my take, and also the browser will not require a restart when turning the proxy on or off.
I think ProxyPac requires you to restart the browser before it takes effect.
I cant take credit for writing this script but i find it very useful.
Proxy problems
Handy for teachers who dont know what proxy settings are.

Upgrading cars to give them a refreshed look has been one of the major strategies, most marques have relied on while taking on competitors. For a similar situation, Tata has taken similar upgrades to next level by adding functional features along with refreshing the looks of its popular MUV, the Sumo Gold. The new car gets about 19 features on both exterior and interior and has a refined and reliable powertrain for higher power and fuel economy. Tata Sumo Gold looks dashing with two new colours added in its portfolio, threatening the position of one of its serious competitors the Bolero along with other new compact wagons which have created a huge buzz in auto sector.
