It is difficult to keep up with events in Mexico. The pension scene changes almost daily.
The extension of the rural 70+ scheme to urban areas is now official, and was communicated to the nation last Tuesday (17 January) by President Felipe Calderón, speaking in Naucalpan, a city located just northwest of Mexico City in adjoining State of Mexico which – in sharp contrast to Mexico City – offers no pensions to its elderly citizens. Anyone who receives an earnings-related pension from the social security system (IMSS) or from the civil service (ISSSTE) is not eligible for an urban 70+ pension. Urban pension benefits are identical to those of rural pensions – $500 pesos (US$37) a month – but urban beneficiaries will receive bi-monthly credits on a debit card, whereas rural beneficiaries receive benefits in cash or direct deposits.
Will rural pensions now be pension-tested as well? This is not clear. The government's 70+ webpage continues to list only three requirements for eligibility:
a) Be at least 70 years old
b) Reside in a community with 30,000 inhabitants or less
c) Agree to suspend any benefit the applicant might receive from the [federal] Human Development Programme Oportunidades
The webpage offers no information for applicants who reside in communities larger than 30,000 inhabitants. For a government that prides itself on transparency, this lack of information is troubling.
I fear the worse. The conservative PAN (National Action Party) that controls the executive branch of the federal government has opposed non-contributory pensions in general, and universal pensions in particular. The former Mayor of Mexico City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (born 1953), initiated universal pensions in 2001, then ran for President of Mexico in the federal elections of 2006. He lost by one percentage point to the PAN candidate, Felipe Calderón (born 1962), in a contested vote. AMLO promised, if elected, to extend Mexico City's universal pension to all Mexico. Calderón, backed by the then incumbent President Vicente Fox (also from the PAN), repeatedly and strongly voiced his disagreement with AMLO's pension manifesto. It was AMLO's political allies in Congress who initiated – with no support from President Calderón – legislation for the rural 70+ pension scheme. Have the views of Felipe Calderón and his party changed so radically? I sincerely hope so. But I doubt it. This might well be strategic behaviour in an election year. This is why I fear the worse. (Mexican presidential elections take place every six years, and the incumbent is not allowed to run for re-election.)
At a minimum, I have no doubt that the government will eventually subject pensions in rural areas to the same tests as pensions in urban communities, although they may wait until after the 2012 elections to do this. It defies logic to think that rural applicants will escape a pensions test to which urban residents are subjected.
What will happen to state programmes when the federal 70+ programme commences in urban areas? Will pensioners in states with generous benefits be forced to shift to the federal scheme, with reduced benefits? This question is especially important for Mexico City, where universal pension benefits are $897 pesos a month, almost double the $500 pesos of the 70+ scheme. Moreover, the age of eligibility in Mexico City fell in 2009 from 70 to 68 years, and benefits are indexed to consumer prices. In the case of 70+, both benefits and the age of eligibility have been frozen since 2007. This is not a prediction, but one possibility is that the federal government might allow state governments to top up the federal benefit, and/or provide full benefits to seniors younger than 70 years.
A universal minimum pension for all Mexicans, with allowance for state top-ups and early pensions, would introduce only modest complexity into the 70+ scheme, with a simple pension test that does not stigmatise beneficiaries.
My fear is that the federal government will not stop with a pensions-test, but will instead move on either to geographic targeting or to more stringent means-tests. Geographic targeting is very crude. Some districts of urban Mexico contain both mansions and shacks, so there will be inevitable errors of inclusion and exclusion. Individualised means tests have even more problems, not least of which is more opportunity for corruption, for payment of 'mordidas' (bribes) to officials so that they will certify an applicant as poor.
The information so far is mixed, so it is difficult to know whether tests of eligibility will go beyond age, residence and income from other pensions. Officials from the federal ministry of social development (SEDESOL) in Chihuahua and Guanajuato told journalists that the their goal is to ensure that all residents aged 70 years and older, regardless of socioeconomic status, have a pension. The position of SEDESOL officials in Chiapas and Yucatan, in contrast, is that the 70+ programme will be targeted to those living in poverty in urban areas, but they never define what they mean by "poverty". The news report from Yucatan is especially detailed. The representative of SEDESOL in Yucatan explained that applicants with no other pension income, who meet age and residence requirements, will be invited to provide the information required for a socioeconomic information card (Cédula Única de Información Socioeconómica). This procedure takes about 35 minutes. Those whose applications are approved can expect the bi-monthly pension to commence in May/June of this year.
The mixed information and lack of guidelines for this initiative is worrisome. So much for the transparency and clear rules promised by President Calderón!

There are few words to describe the moment Catherine Middleton stepped out of the royal Rolls-Royce Phantom VI in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown. Trailed by her visibly nervous father, Michael Middleton, and greeted by her sister and Maid of Honor Philippa "Pippa" Middleton, Catherine waited for her cue to enter Westminster Abbey's Great West Door, waving to the crowds who gathered days in advance to see her.
Mother Carole and youngest brother James had arrived earlier in a Jaguar. Prince William and his best man, Prince Harry were driven to the Abbey in a Bentley, then escorted to St. Edward's Chapel so that the groom wouldn't get a glimpse of his bride (Catherine wanted William to be surprised by the dress, so he wasn't allowed to turn around once he go to the altar).
Dr. John Hall greeted Middleton and his eldest daughter, and spoke of that morning in a Jubilee Time Capsule Video as one of his greatest memories over the past sixty years. "Catherine got out of the car, on her father's arm," Hall explained. "She walked towards me, and people had been speculating of the dress. She was so strikingly beautiful, and the shape of the dress was so charming and elegant and classical and sophisticated. I was quite breathtaken, actually, and I just smiled as she came towards me. We had a few moments of conversation before she and her father processed up through the nave of the abbey. Iwas leading them, and then I began the service. It was just one of those "Pinch me" moments.
What was your favorite moment from the royal wedding?

News: Marines build relationships with Afghans in Marjah
Story by Lance Cpl. Mark Garcia
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan- Afghans and Marines from 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment came together for a shura in Marjah, Feb. 12.
The shura was designed to strengthen the bonds between the Afghans and Marines. During the shura, Lt. Col. David Hudspeth, 3rd Bn., 9th Marines commanding officer, discussed issues with Haji Boscole, one of the strongest pro-coalition elders in the district.
"Anytime you can share a meal, or just share anything in general with someone, it helps build a stronger relationship with that person," said Hudspeth.
Hudspeth said he tries to go to as many shuras as he can so that he can find out how the local nationals are doing and what is needed in the villages.
"Our mission is all about the people," said Hudspeth. "We're truly trying to protect these people and make their lives better."
The battalion commander said another benefit of creating a stronger bond between Afghans and Marines is that the locals can give coalition forces refined information on what is going on in their villages.
"I definitely think the more we eat with Afghans, the more we associate with Afghans, it will certainly help build a stronger relationship," said Hudspeth. "I think (the Afghans) are definitely going to have a better life in the future."

Upstart spices up 50th district primary
Logan Jenkins »Call Logan at
Email Logan | Bio
In North County, just one partisan race in the June primary offers more than a scintilla of suspense.
That one, however, is shaping up to be pretty interesting.
The Democratic primary for the 50th Congressional District — you remember, Randall Harold Cunningham's old seat, which Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Solana Beach, holds — pits Francine Busby, the party's "incumbent candidate" (to coin a phrase) against Tracy Emblem, the blue-collar upstart.
Yes, it's likely that Bilbray outpolls either Busby or Emblem in November. The district, which encompasses communities as different as Carlsbad and Clairemont, Encinitas and Escondido, tilts Republican — 40 percent to 31 percent.
On the other hand, the district did swoon for Obama in 2008, a clear reflection of the district's 90,000 independents, a voting pool that makes up 23 percent of the pie chart.
In this year of governing dangerous, when incumbents of either party are as popular as head lice, the 50th looms as the only congressional district in San Diego County that could conceivably change color.
That's why political junkies like myself can't resist hyping the district's elections as bellwethers.
We start with the foregone forecast that the June election's turnout will be low.
This time around, however, nonpartisan voters can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primaries. (Decline-to-staters can also ask for a ballot stripped of partisan primaries.)
It's possible, I suppose, that some nonpartisans will opt for the GOP ballot so they can vote in a gubernatorial primary that has developed into a roaring barbecue of bloody red meat.
Business tycoons Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner have opened their Midas-sized checkbooks to argue that they, not their two-faced, liberal opponents, are the fire-breathing conservatives on issues such as illegal immigration and jobs.
Of course, it's just as likely that independents will recoil from the warfare. Conventional wisdom holds that negative advertising suppresses turnout.
Which might leave a fair share of independents in the 50th thinking locally and requesting Democratic ballots so they can help determine who faces off against Bilbray in November.
To this small group of nonpartisans, I dedicate this personal breakdown of the two Democratic candidates.
Background: Busby worked for Disney, moved to Cardiff in 1988 with her husband, raised a family, was elected to the school board. A popular volunteer. But so far, she's the Harold Stassen of the 50th district, a three-time loser in head-to-head races against Republicans. That's the stain on her candidacy.
Emblem, a graduate of Orange Glen High School, touts the tough road she's traveled. As a single mom, she worked her way through law school. She's an appellate attorney who works in the same office with her politically engaged husband, Thor Emblem. She's never run for elective office before. But she's been busy, raising kids, practicing law in Escondido. One of her crowning moments as an attorney was successfully proving the innocence of a convicted murderer who'd spent 21 years in prison.
Style: The adjective you hear most often in connection with Emblem is "aggressive." It's not necessarily meant as a compliment by party insiders. "Pit bull" is a descriptive noun.
Busby, on the other hand, tends to speak in polished, prepared sentences. (Busby, you might remember, committed a possibly fatal gaffe while speaking off the cuff about illegal immigrants helping in the in the 2006 election against Bilbray.)
I asked Emblem whom she admired most in Congress. "Alan Grayson," she said, the tough-talking Florida congressman who made headlines when he said on the floor of Congress that Republicans want uninsured Americans to die.
Support: Busby has most of the big-name Democratic endorsements. She's raised much more money — $345,000 to Emblem's $135,000. Little wonder. She's been an effective party fundraiser. She's good at it.

Sackcloth and ashes
We should take no joy in the political death of Bill Clinton
A thing scarier, more terror-inspiring than any script to hatch from the mind of Rod Serling unfolded before our eyes in 1998; and it didn't make a whit of difference if you were Democrat or Republican because no one was excused from this preview showing.
I'm talking about an intrusion into the present of something that wasn't supposed to happen till the great by and by, something we were happy to let sleep until the day when all the books will be opened and "what you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs" (Luke 12:3). I'm talking about a president's transgressions magnified by a power of 10, projected on the big screen in a way not so spectacular since King David had to watch his own sins pantomimed before all Israel on the rooftop of the palace (2 Samuel 16:22).
We were appalled two years ago. Our mouths agape. How could it be that one who from adolescence set his face like flint toward the White House-who muscled his way to the front row to shake Kennedy's hand in the Rose Garden at age 16, who navigated the inner circles of Arkansas politics to become its youngest governor, who defied the odds to capture the prize in 1992-should be brought down by a 24-year-old intern?
The mind leapt to other "disproportionate" punishments in history: the forfeiting of Saul's kingdom for a hotheaded act of unbelief, the forfeiting of entrance to the promised land for striking a rock, the forfeiting of a birthright for an incident involving a bowl of lentil soup, the plunging of a thousand generations into misery for a bite of fruit.
We knew from our Bible reading or catechisms that "the sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them" (1 Timothy 5:24), and I for one was secretly hoping mine would trail behind a little longer. But at the same time I knew that Clinton's demise was the mene, mene, tekel, parsin warning that judgment can be always just around the corner.
I couldn't look at his face in the papers after that without seeing it branded with the stamp of Ecclesiastes 10:1: "A little folly outweighs wisdom and honor."
And then he seemed to overcome! Like the "fatal wound that seemed to have been healed" in the book of Revelation! There was the victorious Rose Garden post-impeachment celebration-love fest, and two ensuing years of collective amnesia. Had he beaten the rap?
On Aug.10 what should return like a bad penny but a morose President Clinton on the newspaper front pages, and I can tell you, brothers, that it gave me no joy. Here he was lamenting again before a gathering of evangelical ministers what it feels like "when you think you've got something behind you and then it's not behind you." It gave me no joy to see him now being held at arm's length like leprosy by his own party, no glee that he lost the wager of Agag the Amalekite at the end of the day.
Or do you think that this president was a worse sinner than you because he suffered this way? "... I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish" (Luke 13:3-5).
Let us be careful how we respond to the downfall of William Jefferson Clinton. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and neither should we in the political death of a politician. This may be less a time for champagne than for sackcloth and ashes. Having left our children the legacy of the knowledge that sin has consequences (a bargain at 12 months and 40 million dollars), let us now render unto God the sacrifice of a humble, contrite heart. And consider that maybe it was a presidency that, in one way, helped our nation after all.

If the last few years have been a golden age of TV, 2013 might mark the end of that era, as many of the shows that have been the highlights of the last few years are wrapping up this year. We've already seen the underrated "Fringe" finish, "The Office" and "Breaking Bad" are wrapping up this summer, and question marks hang over the survival chances of "Community" and "Parks and Recreation." And tonight sees another great show go to syndication heaven -- Tina Fey's "30 Rock."
A vehicle created, written by and starring the SNL veteran, and responsible for bringing Alec Baldwin to the small screen (winning him a fistful of awards for it), the show saw Fey play Liz Lemon, the head writer of a thinly-veiled SNL surrogate called "The Girlie Show," starring Liz's divaish best friend Jenna (Jane Krakowski). But everything is turned upside down when, at the behest of GE executive Jack Donaghy (Baldwin), unpredictable movie star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) is added to the cast, and the show's name is changed to "TGS With Tracy Jordan."
"30 Rock" has never been ashamed of its main purpose as a joke factory, but few sitcoms can match its gag-per-minute rate (and so successfully), and it's also managed to do more, proving smartly satirical, surprisingly affecting and densely plotted along the way. Whether tonight's double-length finale manages to stick the landing remains to be seen, but the show's place in TV history has already been assured. So, to mark the passing of Fey's series, we've put together ten of our all-time favorite "30 Rock" jokes. Narrowing it down was difficult, so there's plenty of room for you to add your own favorites in the comments section, but we think our picks below are pretty well representative of the series' genius. Read on for more.
Jack on tuxedos
Like many shows, "30 Rock" was a little slow out of the gate. Indeed, with a slightly patchy pilot (which had already been reshot once when the network recast original Jenna, ex-SNLer Rachel Dratch), most thought it would be crushed by its similarly-premised competition, Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip." But that show tanked quickly, while "30 Rock" quickly found its feet, with episode six of season one, "Tracy Does Conan." And there's one line that in particular has gone down as legend, which Fey acknowledges was the moment that they started to find the voice of Alec Baldwin's character, telling the Daily Beast: "It was a nice turning point. I felt like we were really on TV. It was sort of a defining moment for the Jack character in terms of just his elegance and his priorities."
Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Brief cutaway gags can be lazy ways to chuck jokes around (look at "Family Guy," for instance), but "30 Rock" managed to pull them off with aplomb most of the time. Perhaps the classic example is the reference to Tracy Jordan's gold-selling novelty song "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah," a five-second gag in episode two of season two, "Jack Gets In The Game," that eventually spawned a full track, featuring then "30 Rock" writer, and future "Community" star, Donald Glover. Watch both below.
Jack & Tracy go to therapy
An endlessly great combination over the show's seven-year history has been Baldwin and Morgan, undoubtedly fostered through the latter's eight seasons on "Saturday Night Live," a show which Baldwin has hosted more than almost anyone. And they never had a better scene together than in second season highlight "Rosemary's Baby," in which Jack impersonates multiple members of Tracy Jordan's family in order to force him into a therapy breakthrough.
Liz the negotiator
The relationship between Jack and Liz has been at the very core of the show with Jack serving as a business mentor to Liz, and Liz keeping Jack in touch with his humanity. Plus it led to all kinds of excellent comedy, with one of our favorites coming in "Episode 210," when Liz is forced to negotiate the purchase of a German TV company, with her high school language skills, when Jack is indisposed elsewhere. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't work out that well, but it's a classic "30 Rock" gag, setting up one joke, then immediately giving it another twist.
Dr. Spaceman
One of the most beloved recurring incidental characters on the show was Dr. Leo Spaceman (pronounced Spech-em-men by everyone except Tracy), the quack doctor who's given his medically dubious advice to most of the TGS cast and crew over the years, played by another SNL veteran, Chris Parnell. Virtually every time he's appeared, he's come up with a classic, but his finest moment might be his diagnosis of Tracy below.

.Net CSRF Guard
This article is a stub. You can help OWASP by expanding it or discussing it on its Talk page.
This page, like the tool, is a work in progress. Questions? Contact Jason Axley (Jaxley) or use the Talk page.

- 2 Threat Model
- 3 How it works
- 4 Implementation Approach
- 5 Implementation
- 6 Related work
Problem Overview
A realization that I just had today was that it seems that the root cause of CSRF is cookie-based session IDs that get auto-sent by the browser with each request. What CSRFGuard (Java and this .Net version) therefore try to do is to allow one to continue using Cookie-based sessions by layering on top of this yet another session token that isn't sent in a cookie to essentially attempt to authenticate the HTML page contents and links as belonging to a legitimate session.
ASP.Net specific concerns
CSRF can actually be prevented in .Net already -- but you have to be using ViewState. In fact, ViewState prevents many other attacks as a happy coincidence, such as several data input validation attacks for non-text-form fields.
There are problems with relying on ViewState however:
- Developers can disable ViewState per-page or on an entire ASP.Net application. They can also forget to enable it on a key page. Knowing you have protection becomes a laborious code-and-configuration-review-problem.
- ViewState can result in hugely bloated page content if it is not cared for properly during development
- Developers can inadvertently divulge sensitive date in ViewState that may go unnoticed since ViewState is Base64-encoded in the page content
There are also those out there who think that ASP.Net is immune to CSRF already, probably because ViewState is enabled by default so if you try CSRF attacks without knowing this key fact, you may be lulled into a false sense of security (or at least may not appreciate why CSRF doesn't work in a default setup). You can try it yourself easily enough (and I will probably include a demo of ViewState CSRF protection in my sample test web application when the code is released).
Try to submit a CSRF form post to a page with ViewState enabled. Notice that it does not work. Now, edit the Web.config and add:
<pages enableViewState="false" />
Threat Model
How it works
Incoming Requests: Protection
The module hooks the YYYYYY event and calls on the CSRFGuard object to check the contents of the request for whether to even bother validating the request or not. There are several cases (many configurable) where it makes sense to skip the request (meaning that it doesn't represent a CSRF attack risk)
- case 1
- case 2
- case n
If it determines that the request needs checking, then it compares the passed CSRFGuard Session Token to the one stored in the user's ASP.Net session. If they do not match, or if the token is not present, then we've got a CSRF attempt.
When a CSRF attempt is detected, the Module then decides what to do about it, based in large part to the configuration. There are likely to be many, many possible cases so an attempt will be made to design high-level generic mechanisms that can support various use cases.
Outgoing Responses: Page Rewriting
The module also hooks the ZZZZZZ event and provides a custom Request Filter that interrogates the outgoing HTML so that we can inject our CSRFGuard Session Token
Implementation Approach
This project takes an analagous approach to the J2EE CSRF Guard J2EE Filter in the ASP.Net world: an ASP.Net HTTP Module / Filter.
Design Goals
- Threat-modeled design and implementation
- Fully test-driven (will be using nunit2)
- And very high code coverage for unit tests (using ncover)
- Automated build (will be using nant)
- Highly configurable
- Allow for flexibility to support all different kinds of applications.
- Highly modular code
- Bulk of the decision-making is done automagically in objects who can then be interrogated for access decisions
- Small classes and methods for clarity and avoiding overly-complex code.
- Ease potential rolling multiple utilities like this into a single uber-HTTP-Module framework later (need to check out status of the mod_security port to .Net)
- No tight coupling to the application required (but may be useful to support for optimizing performance or integration)
- Allow non-security code to be overridden by another implementation (e.g. use your own Logger class, use your own Config file class, support additional response mechanisms, etc.)
- Ability to run in a partial trust environment (hat tip to User:Dinis.cruz)
- Ability to optimize the configuration to just where you most expect to have CSRF vulnerabilities (e.g. avoid work for no security gain)
- Not just a straight code port from J2EE version
Differences between this and the J2EE version (to be resolved)

Lime and kalamansi flowers, an illustration of genetics
Sam and Alex look like me. Sam looks like me and Speedy combined but more me than Speedy. Sam and Alex look alike although they both deny it vehemently. It's called genetics. It's not something peculiar to humans.
Genetics applies to all living organisms. Take the kalamansi and lime, for instance. The kalamansi fruit looks like a miniature lime. But the pulp of the ripe kalamansi is yellow while the pulp of the lime is a pale green. Easy enough to tell one from the other. But before there are fruits, there are flowers. And, looking at the flowers of the kalamansi and the lime in our garden, it's not that easy to tell which is which. If I didn't know exactly where each was planted, and if it weren't for the fact that the kalamansi is bearing fruits right now, I might have been confused.
The two photos above show the flowers of the lime. Below, a flower of the kalamansi.
Genetics, of course, accounts of the similarity in appearance. Lime and kalamansi both belong to the citrus family. In the same family are the pomelo, citron, orange and grapefruit, among others. Lemon is considered a hybrid.
In housekeeping and gardening, the similarity in appearance of citrus fruits is secondary. It is their common characteristics which make them ideal for a variety of household and garden uses that are more important. Like what? Here is a list of interesting uses of citrus fruits that I have found on the web:
1. "Cut a lemon in half, dip it in some salt and it will bring copper bottom pots back to their shiny glory. Dip the other half in some baking soda and you have a perfect, scrubber that cleans, freshens and won't scratch surfaces, try it on sinks, stoves and counters!" — DIY Life
2. "Citrus peel is a great addition to the compost pile. Just be sure to chop them a little to help them to degrade faster. You can use any of the peels to add to a compost pile. It will make the compost pile smell fresh and clean too…" — Wikihow
3. This should be noted by owners of cast iron cookware: "Mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with two tablespoons of salt to make a rust-removing scrub." — The Old Farmer's Almanac
4. "Add orange peels to your garbage to keep bugs away (especially useful in outdoor situations, such as camping)." — Mother Nature Network
5. "Remove laundry stains – Remove sweat stains, ink spots, and other fresh laundry stains with fresh lemon juice. Turn the garment inside out and rinse the stain from behind with cold water. Slice a lemon in half and dab, don't rub, the lemon directly to the garment. Let the lemon juice set for a few minutes and then wash in cold water." — Yahoo! Voices
6. "Clean your microwave. Is the inside of your microwave caked with bits of hardened food? You can give it a good cleaning without scratching the surface with harsh cleansers or using a lot of elbow grease. Just mix 3 tablespoons lemon juice into 1 1/2 cups water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 5-10 minutes, allowing the steam to condense on the inside walls and ceiling of the oven. Then just wipe away the softened food with a dishrag." — Reader's Digest
And my favorite find? The anti-insect property of citrus.
7. "Many insects are highly sensitive to smell, including spiders, ants, fleas and typically so-hardy-they're-almost-alien cockroaches. Squirt lemon juice in windowsills, the thresholds of doors, along baseboards and into any cracks where insects might get into the house. Add lemon juice to your floor wash for even more insect-repelling action." — Huffington Post

We have just implemented the ability for all members having a high post count to edit their member title to whatever they want (within reason, of course).
We won't be releasing the exact number of posts needed at this time, but we can tell you it is somewhere greater than 300 posts needed. Currently that number is set to 200 posts.
As usual, all rules will still apply to this new area. Anyone not following the rules in this area will be disciplined appropriately. Anyone spamming purely to reach a high post count will have their post count lowered.
For anyone that doesn't know what a member title is, it's what appears above your avatar on every post.
Once you have reached this post count requirement, you will be able to edit your member title from your Profile Settings page. It appears in the Profile Settings tab within the Profile Information section directly below the Edit my About Me page button and above the place to enter Your Birthday.
The exact amount of posts required for this ability can change in the future if need be.
If you don't currently meet this requirement, it's not all bad news! We are currently getting into the holiday spirit here at RuneHQ and are offering ANYONE the ability to set a holiday member title for the duration of this month. Just check out our Holiday Member Titles topic and post what you would like it changed to.

UMI X2 Phablet Launched In India For Rs 14,000
Micromax A116 Canvas HD now has some stiff competition.
Chinese manufacturer UMI has launched its latest Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) based phone, the X2, in India. The handset sports a 5" IPS screen with pixel dimensions of 1080x1920 and offers 3G support with dual-SIM (GSM) functionality.
Despite being a budget smartphone, the X2 features a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, and whopping 2 GB of RAM. You also get a 13 MP autofocus camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. Detailed specs of the device is at the end of this article.
The UMI X2 is priced at Rs 14,000, which is very tempting for a quad-core phone. The only competitor that comes close to the X2 is Micromax's A116 Canvas HD. Since I haven't used either of these phones, I can't suggest one over the other. On paper at least, the X2 comes across as a better deal with its 1080p screen and 13 megapixel camera, as compared to Canvas HD's 720p display and 8 MP snapper.
The specs don't square with the price, unless even Micromax' A116 has a lot of explaining to do for its price point. Availability for the Umi X2 is set for mid-March anyway (and not April Fools' Day) so this device may very well be for real. If you're feeling adventurous and ready to live without customer support, you can order the X2 from its official website.
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
- 1.2 GHz quad-core processor.
- 2 GB of RAM.
- 13 megapixel camera.
- 3 mp front-facing camera.
- 5.0" IPS screen, at 1920x1080 pixels.

Jamie Todd Rubin on 7 Lessons Learned from 300 Days of Writing |
Jamie Rubin has things he learned from 300 days of writing. The most I chained together was last year's 150, so I'm hoping to be able to get where he was:
"A few days ago, I passed another writing milestone for 2013. I'd written 300 out of the last 302 days. As of this morning, I've written 303 out of the last 305 days, and 160 consecutive days. Writing those first 5 or 10 days feels good. When I passed 50 days, I was sort of surprised. At 100 days, I felt like I'd run a marathon. At 200 days, I felt surprisingly calm. When I passed 300 days I had a strange mixture of emotions: incredulity at the notion that I'd written almost every day of the year. (I didn't start until late February so the first two months were a wash); but also, a surprising sense of confidence. I've thought about this over the last few days and have put together a list of lessons I've learned over the last 300 days of writing every day."
(Via 7 Lessons Learned from 300 Days of Writing | Jamie Todd Rubin.)
The last lesson, that small, steady habits of writing build up to large results over time, I've internalized for a long time, which is why I track my writing in a spreadsheet very closely. It helps keep the writing habit going.

Employees of capital one have a good excuse for listening to an iPod at work. The McLean, Virginia-based financial services company has launched a training program using podcasts, digital recordings that users download and play back at their leisure.
Using a customized Web portal from a home computer, workers can download more than a dozen lessons on topics ranging from diversity to the elements that constitute the company's quarterly earnings call. One goal is to present information about topics that affect the entire company. "The more people understand the business model, the more value they add," says Ted Forbes, the company's director of learning services. To help, the company bought 3,000 iPods--complete with an engraved company logo. Employees keep them as long as they remain with the company.
The company expects podcasts to reduce the time employees spend learning in a classroom, as well as costs it incurs when bringing groups to Virginia for training. Initial results are promising: 65 percent of audio learners reported saving time over traditional learning methods. Dollar figures aren't yet available. Forbes says that more podcast content is on the way, and will include speeches and even suggested listening from the company's executives.

A week after the Supreme Court declared the allocation of 218 coal blocks as illegal and arbitrary, the NDA government told the court on Monday that it wants a re-auction of the coal blocks, but sought exemption for 40 which are operational and another six which are ready to begin work soon.
The government stands by the judgement. We want a re-auction. As an alternative, we will be happy if 46 blocks can be saved. We dont want to save anyone. We are not espousing anybodys cause. If your lordship says all (allocation) must go, we are ready to accept it. The court may also consider differentiating between different types of allocations, Attorney General Mukul Rohtagi told the bench led by Chief Justice R M Lodha.
The government said these 46 blocks can be considered for exemption provided they compensate for the loss of Rs 295 per tonne caused to the public exchequer and also enter into a power purchase agreement at Rs 95 per tonne to make up for the loss. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had estimated that the government suffered a loss of Rs 1.86 lakh crore by not going for competitive bidding to allot coal blocks, that could earn a net profit of Rs 295 per tonne.
The bench, also comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph, agreed to consider the governments suggestion on safeguarding these 46 blocks on September 9.
Opposing the idea of setting up a committee to decide the future course of action, the AG said: We want this court to decide, not a committee. If the court says all allocations are to be cancelled, then everything goes in one stroke.
We can then go out and auction it. Power situation is very bad in the country and so our endevaour is to resolve this issue fast. We want to finish this chapter and move ahead, he said.
Accepting that the allocation of coal blocks had resulted in loss to the public money, he said some amount of hardship will have to be borne by everyone concerned.
When the bench asked Rohtagi about the recovery of bank loans given to the entities whose allocations have been held to be illegal, he said, Whatever has to happen will happen.
Rohtagi also rejected a contention that the banking sector would be hit hard, considering that bank credit to the tune of over Rs 100,000 crore in just the power sector rides

As the Libya Crisis continues, UNHCR calls on states to share the burden and uphold principles of rescue-at-sea
UNHCR/ A.Branthwaite
So far 498,313 people have fled the Libyan violence via the land borders in Libya, including 199,700 to Egypt and 236,151 to Tunisia. There continues to be a steady influx of people crossing these borders, with approximately 2,500 to 3,000 crossing daily. However, many more are trapped by the ongoing conflict in Libya and UNHCR is particularly concerned about refugees and asylum seekers in Misrata and other Libyan towns. As the situation in Libya deteriorates, many may have to consider flight by sea as their only option. Indeed, over 1,100 people have arrived in Malta from Libya on five boats since March 26th, while 3,358 people have reached southern Italy from Libya.
However, after 220 refugees drowned last week having fled Libya, UNHCR is calling on the European Union (EU) to urgently put into place more reliable and effective mechanisms for rescue-at-sea.
With Italy and Malta bearing the brunt of the Libyan migration, and likely to see the arrival of more people who need international protection, UNHCR is also calling for active consideration of concrete responsibility and burden sharing measures among EU member countries. Such measures could include technical and financial support and the use of the EU Temporary Protection Directive which aims to harmonize temporary protection for displaced people in cases of "mass influx†on the basis of solidarity between member states.
UNHCR is also calling on EU Member States, together with other resettlement countries to offer additional resettlement places for refugees in North Africa, as resettlement is the only durable solution that is feasible for some. UNHCR's recent calls on this front have met with only a limited response.
In March, the High Commissioner visited both Tunisia and Egypt and voiced concerns for both Libyans inside the country in desperate need of humanitarian aid, and for 3,000 people (mainly Somalis and Eritreans) stuck at the borders because they cannot return to their home countries. He also appealed for humanitarian access to be allowed for UNHCR and other UN agencies to provide aid within Libya.
UNHCR is also concerned about more than 500 Libyans of Berber ethnicity that have fled conflict in Libya's Western Mountains region and sought shelter in the Dehiba area of southern Tunisia. A lack of basic medical supplies and a shortage of food prompted their departure and they have significant humanitarian needs. UNHCR has established a camp in Remada town, 45 kilometers from the border, which includes 130 tents and electricity and water facilities.
UNHCR now has a total need of USD 66 million for the Libya Situation but has only received 56% of this amount. It is estimated that up to 1.5 million people may be affected by the conflict and the agency continues to appeal to donors for urgent cash contributions towards the UNHCR supplementary budget.

Leisure and Recreation
Questia, your online research library and paper writing resource, contains thousands of scholarly articles and books about Leisure and Recreation.
Throughout the world, people participate in unique leisure and recreation activities, depending on their interests. Leisure activities – sports, crafts, games—developed within a culture, as a result of the available resources. Imperialism, and later globalization, led to the cultural spillover of many recreational activities. Often entire social communities will form around a recreation activity. These communities are referred to as 'clubs,' 'leagues,' or 'societies' and can be either casual or formal in structure.

Mboweni's Lifeline to Exporters: Is the South African Government Having a Change of Heart on the Rand's Exchange Rate? Hitherto, the Repo Rate Was Influenced Solely on Inflationary Concerns, but as Tom Nevin Reports, the Reserve Bank Is Now Showing Greater Flexibility
Nevin, Tom, African Business
The pressure on the governor of the South African Reserve Bank to shift his attention from inflation targeting and further unshackle the national currency had been intense over the past five months. The fact that he finally buckled came as welcome, if somewhat short-lived, relief to South African industry, mining houses and countries in the region whose currencies are linked to the rand.
Reserve Bank governor Tito Mbweni's decision to cut 0.5% off the earlier repo rate of 7.5% came as a welcome bolt from the blue for most of the country's business sector that had convinced itself that high oil prices and jittery inflation figures would have persuaded the Bank to leave rates as they had been.
The cut brought a smile to trade union movements who welcomed it as a sign that the Reserve Bank had finally heeded its calls for a weaker rand.
Roger Baxter, senior economist at the Chamber of Mines, sees the cut as an essential move for saving the mining industry and intimated more is necessary. "Our currency is too strong," he insists. "It does not represent the true fundamentals of our economy in that it does not consider both importers and exporters."
Efficient Group economist Nico Kelder considers the decision to cut the interest rate "brave", adding that surprise cuts signify that "sometimes Governor Tito Mboweni's crystal ball is in better condition than ours".
Whether or not Mboweni's crystal ball had anything to do with the rate cut, we'll probably never know. The real question is: Was he pushed, or did he jump? Did pressure from South Africa's labour unions, the communist party and the World Bank persuade the Reserve Bank governor to unlock the cage and let the rand fly free? When he was asked if the cut was the first signal of a policy shift on the rand exchange rate (in search of a 'more competitive' rate that would accelerate economic growth and encourage job creation) Mboweni insisted that policy had never focused on inflation targeting for its own sake.
It was always about improving the overall performance of the economy. However, he added, when the Bank perceived a slackening of economic activity, it could not pretend to live in a different world.
Until now, when policy seems to be on the brink of being rewritten, the government has focused almost exclusively on holding the inflation rate within a targeted range of 3% to 6% and achieved this by keeping interest rates higher than its major global trading partners.
This had the effect of flooding the bond and equity markets with 'hot' overnight foreign money that in turn buoyed the rand to levels that ravaged the economy; but made it financially agreeable for the central bank to stock its vaults with billions of cheaply bought US dollars.
Unions and communists take a bow
The left wing of the government, the trade unions and the communists, are taking most of the credit for the governments inflation targeting U-turn.
At a summit of South Africa's ruling tripartite alliance, the African National Congress, SA Communist Party and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) papered over the cracks in the governing body but Cosatu in particular warned that the grouping would fall apart unless the government did something to promote a more competitive rand.
While this is in conflict with government policy of low inflation targetting, it is a price the ANC is going to have to pay to keep its increasingly restive minority partners in the fold.
Cosatu, whose members, mainly in mining and manufacturing, have been losing their jobs by the thousands each month, has been the most vociferous. …

Treehouse is a site dedicated to bringing affordable tech-based education to everyday people to help them learn how to build websites and apps, write code, and start a business. The company already had an unconventional way of doing things, with their standard four-day work week, but it took it a step further an decided to really take a leap of faith by operating "flat" – or, by removing all managers completely, earlier this year. This was a bold move for a small start-up that had already grown to 60 employees, seven managers, and four executives in its three years in existence, but something had to be done after the company noticed typical corporate drama developing: "rumors, politics, and complaints started appearing."
In his personal blog, Ryan Carson, CEO and founder of Treehouse, explains how he joined forces with his co-founder, Alan Johnson, to devise a solution for how to effectively address and eliminate the issues that were turning their humble start-up into a corporate soap opera. After evaluating the internal workings and structure of Treehouse, Carson and Johnson got the crazy idea to eliminate managers and allow every employee to return to the front line where they all would individually be responsible for their own quotas, performance, and success. As Carson states on his blog, "Good managers act like servants to their team but far too many like the power and let it go to their heads," so in order to maximize his employees' talents, he had to grant them the power to become good managers (of themselves).
Carson's inspiration to eliminate bosses came from Dan Pink's presentation, The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, where Pink touches on scientific research that shows the three key motivators for people and, more importantly, employees (see video).
1. Autonomy – People have a great desire to be self-directed in life. Traditional managerial structures are counterproductive to autonomy because employees aren't allowed to freely act on or execute their ideas without running it by the higher-ups.
2. Mastery – People have a natural urge to get better at stuff that they consider fun. Employees want to be able to master their professions in order to flourish in their careers, however, conventional businesses models don't allow for that.
3. Purpose – People want to do purposeful work. Research shows that employees want careers that are meaningful and that make a difference in the world. Pink points out that, "When the profit motive [for companies] gets unmoored from the purpose motive, bad things happen," like poor customer service, poor products, and unhappy employees.
Nixing managers may not work for larger corporations, or even most companies, but granting employees the freedom to take ownership of their time, efforts, and success is a wildly viable concept when you really consider the facts. Pink suggests that if you pay people enough to justify their work, then their focus turns away from the money and refocuses it on the actual work. In return, professionals are happier, more confident, more productive, and, surprisingly, more responsible. Maybe returning to the "front line," as Carson calls is, really is the solution to the problem.

Also I like the attitude she had and how you broke her Matt, very nice indeed. Keep in mind this is the kind of attitude we younger single guys have to deal with all the time. I'm glad you put her in her place. alexv1: Considering her attitude and her lower tolerance for pain (at least at first) I think she and Matt did a good job. This seemed more real for me than some of the other sets where the models seem more like actresses than real girls.
|Jun 1, 2004
Woohoo, guess I get first post. She is beautiful, and talk about cute feet! Very nice. Another great set Matt.
|May 25, 2004
Maya is absolutely exquisite, from the top of her gorgeous head to the tips of her beautiful toes. This set shows her in all her glory. Well done!

I've searched the Internet and have found some good solutions for teeing STDOUT to 2 different places. Like to a log file and also to the screen at the same time. Here's one example:
use IO::Tee;
my $log_filename = "log.txt";
my $log_filehandle;
open( $log_filehandle, '>>', $log_filename )
or die("Can't open $log_filename for append: $!");
my $tee = IO::Tee->new( $log_filehandle, \*STDOUT );
select $tee;
But this solution leaves STDERR going only to the screen and I want STDERR go to both the screen and also to the same log file that STDOUT is being logged to. Is that even possible?
My task is to get my build process logged, but I also want to see it on my IDE's screen as usual. And logging the error messages is just as important as logging the happy messages. And getting the errors logged to a separate log file is not a good solution.

United in English, divided by native tongue
On this morning, Cooks had cleared out the desks in the adjoining room and made a dance floor, where students will make a routine out of a collection of choreographed moves that relate to geology terms and ideas.
"It's fun," 13-year-old Farid Yousufi-Mohamed said. "You can see what they are talking about."
Farid, who speaks four languages -- including Russian he uses at home with his dad and Turkish he uses with his mom -- said having vocabulary classes has given him more confidence and make school enjoyable.
The mix of languages that can be heard in the classroom, he said, makes it interesting.
For classmate Jenny Seo, the diversity has helped her learn about people and countries.
"I can speak Farsi," Jenny said, smiling. "I can speak like three different languages … a little bit."
She explained that because some of her closest friends on campus speak languages other than her native Korean, she is able to pick up parts of other languages as they talk.
"(English) is the common factor that bonds them all," Stowe said. "They all know that they are learning together, so they tend to work as a team."

I just finished reading "Last Train To Memphis" an Elvis biography. If I was going to Memphis, I'd be interested in visiting the dinky old Chess Records recording studio ( it's located on 706 Union - which is right off the 240 loop) that was run by Sam Phillips and who recorded Elvis' first song ('My Happiness') and the early hits - 'That's All Right Momma', etc. Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash also recorded there. I'd much rather see Chess Records than Graceland.....or even the Opry for that matter.
I was just there a few months ago and a lot of good restaurants are near Vanderbilt, in an area called West End (I think, or it might be South Side...LOL, anyway, it's near Vandy).
Have fun and show us some pictures when you get back.
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
I've always wanted to go check out Memphis sometime. A couple buddies of mine went out there not to long ago and they had a blast there. I'd like to go now that it has been brought up

This is not a music blog because, if there can be said to be qualifications required to be a music blogger, I do not posses them. But a music blog seemed like the most appropriate type of blog for me to write that would have any kind of focus. So, by way of clarification, this is not a music blog. I hope that's clear.

Devoted On Point Radio listeners will be sad — or excited — to hear that our next week of broadcasts will all sound rather familiar. That's because we're taking a brief respite from the daily grind and playing some classic episodes for your — and our — midsummer listening pleasure. But before we all run away into our radio holes for the week, we thought it might be nice to reflect on a few wonky web bits we noticed this week. Some of you on our Facebook page got a bit confused when we posted an old broadcast on food trends midweek on a day when we were talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "I am not interested on commenting about donuts while radio program [sic] is about Israel" one Facebook commenter wrote us. Several others had angry words about Israel, or Palestine, or the media, and few of you had anything to say about donuts, cronuts and the demise of Crumbs Bake Shops, which was the news angle we were going for when we shared the earlier broadcast. Our Facebook page, like our Twitter feed and website, is a fluid and changing space. We like to react to news as it happens, and help direct you toward pieces and interviews that might help you better digest the headlines in the middle of your already busy lives. Take a moment and scroll down before wondering why we're talking about donuts — you might be surprised what else you find already on the page!

With tomorrow marking the 10-year anniversary of his studio debut Get Rich or Die Tryin', 50 Cent spoke with MTV News about the LP, breaking it down track by track.
During an interview, Fif began by touching on the brief intro track, which features the sound of two coins being dropped and a gun being loaded. "That intro, as far as the sound of the coin, it was saying, 'This is 50 Cent,' without saying a word," he said.
He also touched on the album's massive hit "In Da Club" ("Smash hit," he said) and reflected on the sappy "21 Questions" featuring the late Nate Dogg. "I really made that record because I was in a car and LL Cool J came on," he said. "The girl next to me as all into it; it was a soft record, but she was so into the record that I said, 'I want to make something that makes [girls] respond like that to me.'"
Get Rich or Die Tryin', which released on February 6, 2003, has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. The project spawned one single to cross the platinum mark ("In Da Club") while a few others crossed the gold threshold ("P.I.M.P.," "21 Questions").

text: A female soldier who shot herself early Monday at Fort Lee near Petersburg died later in the day at VCU Hospital in Richmond. The woman had a gun inside a key building at Fort Lee and turned the weapon on herself, but she did not wound anybody else. The now deceased soldier has not been identified. The Army believes she fired one shot in a four-story building that serves as the headquarters for the Army's Combined Arms Support Command. Fort Lee went on temporary lockdown and the all-clear signal was given a short time after the incident. Fort Lee is 25 miles south of Richmond near Petersburg.

Both Sides of the Page Can Be Printed on with Epson T0711 Black Pigment Ink
It what way does pigment-based ink vary from dye-based ink? Dye-based ink is more cost efficient for the reason that it is easier to manufacture. They contain more brilliant colours. Because they are made with liquid, dye-based inks could smudge, spread through paper and also dissolve if combined with liquids. In contrast, pigment-based ones cost a little more due to the fact that they are not easy to create They typically hold resins which make them last longer. However, pigment-based inks display an effect called metamerism wherein colours appear differently under different lighting conditions. However, Epson, the world's leading innovative company on printers and inks have developed a special pigment based ink that has transcended these faults using DuraBrite? pigment ink technology. Allow us to demonstrate these more through taking a look at an ink which employs such technology, the "Cheetah Ink", Epson T0711.
Rating: 4.5 of a possible 5.0 stars
T0711 Black Pigment Ink Key Features:
Smudge, scratch, fade and water-resistant, the Epson T0711 black pigment ink is controlled by DuraBrite? pigment ink technology. It employs microencapsulation in which the droplets are inside an unique resin and won't soak up into the paper the same way as dye-based inks. They keep on the surface of the paper fibres resulting in more intense blacks as well as brilliant colours. Photos and images remain lively at the same time text remains precise and clear.
Charge for T0711 Black Pigment Ink: Genuine ink cartridges cost ?10.42 (VAT inc) while
T0711 compatible ink costs ?3.33 (plus shipping)
Product Description:
You can depend on receiving great output when using the Epson T0711 particularly if printing out labels, greeting cards, resumes, web pages, reports, menus, and so forth on ordinary paper. However, that's not all, the T0711 is, in addition, able to produce great photos on glossy photo papers and iron-on transfers, glossy self-adhesive sheets and OHP Transparency films. It contains an unique methodology for cutting down on metamerism and gloss disproportion as it adds intensity and resilience.
Product Specs:
The Epson T0711 black pigment ink is compatible with these printers: Epson Stylus D120, Epson Stylus D120 Network Edition, Epson Stylus D78, Epson Stylus D92, Epson Stylus DX4000, Epson Stylus DX4050, Epson Stylus DX4400, Epson Stylus DX4450, Epson Stylus DX5000 all in one printer, Epson Stylus DX5050, Epson Stylus DX6000, Epson Stylus DX6050, Epson Stylus DX7000F, Epson Stylus DX7400, Epson Stylus DX7450, Epson Stylus DX8400, Epson Stylus DX8450, Epson Stylus DX9400 Wi-Fi Edition, Epson Stylus DX9400F, Epson Stylus Office B40W, Epson Stylus Office BX300F, Epson Stylus Office BX310FN, Epson Stylus Office BX600FW, Epson Stylus Office BX610FW, Epson Stylus S21, Epson Stylus SX115, Epson Stylus SX200, Epson Stylus SX205, Epson Stylus SX215, Epson Stylus SX218, Epson Stylus SX400, Epson Stylus SX405, Epson Stylus SX405 Wi-Fi Edition, Epson Stylus SX415, Epson Stylus SX515W, Epson Stylus SX600FW, and Epson Stylus SX610FW
