Representing passion, fertility, anger, blood and energy, no other colour evokes as many emotions as red. While some people are attracted to the energy of red, others find red too alarming and intense. This polar opinion of red is also represented culturally: while the Chinese consider red the colour of happiness and good luck, North Americans associate red more with danger and emergency (or junk food -- just as alarming!)
In home decor, red is such an energizing colour its over-use can quickly become furious and intense. Fearing such drama many homeowners avoid red altogether, but a lack of red is equally misguided.
How to use red
There are as many shades of red as personalities to match -- from faded rose to deep burgundy. Red works to neutralize cooler colours like greens and blues, giving a sense of warmth to the room. Red also brings life and energy to dull and uninviting spaces. You can easily introduce red to a room with flowers, throw cushions, vases or other accents (see page 2 for more accent ideas).
An eye-catching colour, red is used to draw attention towards an area in the room, whether to anchor the observer to the room's centre or to highlight a more stunning part of the room.
How to paint with red
With the right shade in the right place, red can also be appropriate for your walls. Designer Karl Lohnes highly recommends red for the dining room. "Red works to stimulate people's appetites and blood flow," he explains. "Try blue-based red (like burgundy or plum) for real drama as the blue-base darkens at night and helps to create a more dramatic atmosphere. These reds also look great with mahogany and other traditional wood tones most often found in dining rooms."
Karl also recommends red in the kitchen where there is usually a small amount of wall space. "In kitchens I suggest spicy, brown-toned reds as they are more natural," he says.
Consider Benjamin Moore's Raisin Torte (2083-10) for the dining room and Smoldering Red (2007-10) for the kitchen.

I moved from Plano to San Antonio, first thing I noticed is huge yellow signs on some of the roads down here "watch for bikes and share the road". Why no huge yellow signs in Plano? I sent a note to Bikein Mike and the PBA but didn't get anything substantial back.. As I commuter, one thing I noticed is down here on these roads with yellow sign, no one has flipped me off, no car buzzing and only one honker.
But in Plano during my 6pm commute from Dallas to Allen up custer road, I had some rough experiences, many honks, fingers and a lot of windows rolled down.. and my favorite.. I got spat on. I understand folks get testy @ last mile home, but I don't think they understand a bicycle is vehicle and I have just as much right to be on the road as they do.. no matter if it's a week day @ 6pm or the weekend morning.. I think huge yellow signs would drive this point home, seems to work fine here in San Antonio..

I have never thought to cook with them but when I saw a recipe for an orange cake I decided to give it a try. Mainly because I didn't have any oranges just mandarins. While not the same as an orange they do have an orange taste. I decided good, bad or ugly it was still a cake and you can't really go wrong with cake can you? I made it for a party celebrating the passing of our charter by the local school board for a new Waldorf inspired charter school in our district. About midway through baking I had a vague feeling of doom thinking the cake might possibly be a failure and that I should have tested it before bringing to a party. Too late! I took and with dread watched as it was cut and eaten. Whew! Thankfully everyone ate the whole piece and seemed to enjoy it.
I brought the rest home and my husband liked it. The 2 teenage boys were non-committal which was weird because are teenage boys not human vacuums? Don't get me wrong they ate it but when questioned they "weren't quite sure about it" which I think was a ruse to get another piece. Probably was in hindsight.
Winter Mandarin Pound Cake
1 1/2 cups butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
grated rind of 1 Mandarin, save the fruit
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt (I LOVE Nancy's yogurt) or sour cream
juice of the mandarin + good orange juice to equal 1/2 cup (like Organic Vally Orange Juice)
Citrus Glaze
1/2 cup good orange juice
2 Tablespoons of sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice, I used True Lemon powdered lemon plus water (from BlogHer Food Swag Bag! these little packets are a life saver!)
Grease a bundt pan with butter, try using the wrappers from the softened butter
in the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar very well (you can use a regular mixer here)
add the eggs one at a time beating very well after each egg
mix in the mandarin peel and almond extract, beat again
sift the flour and baking soda together, set aside
whisk the salt, yogurt (sour cream) and orange juice together, set aside
add the 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stir until combined
add 1/2 of the wet ingredients to the mixture, stir until combined
repeat and end with last of the dry ingredients
mix lightly do not over beat!!
immediately scrape into the buttered pan
bake for 45 minutes to an hour
testing after 45 minutes with a bamboo skewer to make it is done (if you poke and it comes out clean it's done)
when it's done remove from the oven and cool for 15-20 minutes
then tip it out on a cooling rack
when cool mix the glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil
reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the glaze is thickened a bit
spoon the hot glaze over the cool cake
let it soak in for 15-20 minutes
The cake is mild with a nice citrusy kick in the glaze. Simple, delicious and seasonal.

Kylie Jenner Slams Plastic Surgery Rumors
April 11, 2014 08:04 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Battling plastic surgery rumors is a natural part of being on the cast of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kylie Jenner is finally old enough to carry that badge of honor. Suffice to say, she's not happy about all the Facebook gossip surrounding her alleged plastic surgery procedures!
If you're part of the Kardashian family, it' pretty much a guarantee that you'll either visit a plastic surgeon on a regular basis or be accused of partaking in a little nip and tuck. Still, it seems a bit early for Kylie Jenner to be investing in nose jobs and the like. After all, she's only sixteen! Kardashians and Jenners grow up quickly, however, and with Kylie's scandalous attire constantly in the spotlight, it was only a matter of time before the plastic surgery rumors arrived.
The other day, a very upset Kylie took to Twitter to complain about the latest round of plastic surgery gossip. She tweeted, "These plastic surgery rumors hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting." The reality star also made a point of reminding followers that she's still a teenager.
Although Kylie is the frequent target of nasty rumors, she still retains plenty of support from her fans, friends and family members. After reading Kylie's Twitter rant, Hailey Baldwin sent the reality star a supportive message, claiming that haters "just don't wanna believe people can be naturally beautiful."
What do you think of the recent Kylie Jenner plastic surgery rumors? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it, so feel free to sound off in the comments section below!

Kylie must think people are stupid. Why lie then validate once again why this family is so fake. Then Kylie has the audacity to get mad about the "rumors." Well she loves being in the spotlight too & there is a price for being "famous" for nothing. Her face looks WAY different. Her nose & lips for sure. All you have to do is compare old photos. They all lie. Also I know people who work in the industry who say they have all had nose jobs I believe they said Kim also had cheek implants plus a bit on her mouth & nose. They will always want to take credit for it being natural & not plastic surgery. I would respect them more if they were just honest but lies come natural for this family. Or at least they could say they don't want to comment on that subject but to lie then turn around & get mad is the height of arrogance which seems typical for this family. They go to one of the best plastic surgeons & this surgeon is a master makes people look very natural.
I wonder how Kylie & Kendall's clothing line is doing. Now they will be making more money off of sweat shop slave labor workers….. oh but as long as they don't see it, it's ok…. or other designers do it so who cares. The clothes could be made in the USA but because the profit falls 50-70% lower they don't want to do that. Now Kylie & Kendall are so brainwashed they don't even realize it. The Kardashian clan denied knowing about Kardashian collection being made in sweat shop slave labor places. In press release they have to cover up these things in order not to alienate "fans" in other words money. There are many other females with beauty inside/outside that are far better to look up too… these are not them. Self-absorbed, unaware, fame hungry people. Not buying the bullsh*t they are selling.

Covering an area of 115 square kilometers, the scenic spot includes attractions like Langya Mountain, Chengxi Lake, Gushan Lake, and Hu Gu, and the main mountains are Motuo Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Dafeng Mountain, Xiaofeng Mountain, Langya Mountain, etc. The representative landscapes of the scenic spot are dense forests, deep caves, blue lakes, and flowing springs. Besides, there are plentiful culture attractions, such as Langya Temple built in Tang Dynasty, a large number of historic sites and cultural relics left in Bujiadun Ancient Site, the famous stele carving of Wu Daozi in Tang Dynasty drawing a picture of Buddhist Guanyin and nearly one-hundred Moya stele carvings made by Li Youqing in Tang Dynasty. They are so attractive that celebrated scholars in Tang and Song Dynasties like Wei Yingwu, Ou Yangxiu, Zeng Gong, Su Shi and Song Lian wrote poets and articles to praise them.
The Old Drunkard's Pavilion:
The Old Drunkard's Pavilion, situated on the half-way up the Langya Mountain, is one of the most four well-known pavilions. It is built in the reign of Emperor Renzong in Northern Song Dynasty, having the history of more than 900 years, and it is especially built for Ouyang Hsiu when Langya Temple was under the administration of Buddhist Abbot Zhixian. For Ouyang Hsiu called himself 'the Old Drunkard's Pavilion', he named the pavilion 'the Old Drunkard's Pavilion', and wrote a poet the Old Drunkard's Pavilion which has been handed down to posterity. The buildings around the Old Drunkard's Pavilion are unique and charming. East of the pavilion is a huge horizontally-lying stone, on which is carved the three Chinese words "醉翁亭". West of it is Baosong Temple. Its height inside is 2 meters and width is about 1 meter. Two steles, on which the essay the Old Drunkard's Pavilion in Su Shi's handwriting form is carved, are rare treasures. On the western side of the pavilion, there is an old plum tree. The legend goes that it was planted by Ouyang Hsiu, so it was called 'Ou Plum'. In front of the pavilion is a spring, beside which is a clean and clear stream murmuring all the year round. If you go towards the west, you can watch the view of Jiuquliushang where the ancient people drank and poetized.
If you walk 1 kilometer up from the southwest of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion, you will see the Langya Temple. Langya Temple, a famous temple in southeast China, was built in the period of Dali in Tang Dynasty. Although it successively got its name 'Baoying Temple' in the reign of Emperor Tang Daizong in Tang Dynasty, and 'Kaihua Buddhism Temple' in Song Dynasty, and now it is called Langya Temple because it is on Langya Mountain.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
Through buses are available to Langya Mountain Scenic Spot before the front square of Chuzhou Train Station. You can get there in 10 minutes. But bus drivers can stop buses at the Zuiweng Pavilion parking lot; taxis can go on to Langya Temple along the ancient roads. If you are in the city proper, you can take a taxi from the bus or train station to the Langya Mountain gate. The first charge is 4 yuan, and it will only take you 5 yuan or 6 yuan to get there.

A French pressure cell is a high grade, precision machined piece of metal designed to work at pressures exceeding 1,000 atmospheres - akin to an ultracentrifuge rotor. Cells are expensive and they are not hard to damage if allowed to corrode, or misused in a press generating tons of force. To avoid damage and maintain the life of the cell, the following precautions are necessary. Most people mistakenly assume, since it all looks so simple, that there is no finesse to using the devise. By the contrary, there are a considerable number of things to look out for.

The French cinematheque is a private organisation, mainly financed by the government. Its missions are to preserve, restore and broadcast the film industry heritage. With more than 40 000 films and thousands of documents and objets linked to the movie industry, it holds the world's biggest database on cinematography.
The cinematheque was born in 1935 when two men called Henri Langlois and Georges Franju, who had been keeping and saving old film copies, decided to create a movie club called the Cercle du Cinéma, in order to show all the past works.
In addition to films, the cinematheque started to collect all items linked to the movie industry such as cameras, posters, costumes, and even objects from movie sets. Over the years, it has become one of the most famous archives database in the world. In 2005, the cinematheque was moved to the 12th arrondissement of Paris. At the opening, Martin Scorcese said : « directors from all over the world now the Franch cinematheque, even if they haven't had the chance to go there yet. It's our spiritual home ».
Thanks to its strong experience and with new financial means, the cinematheque can now, in addition to its usual missions, program old classic movies, complete restrospectives, and pay tribute to directors, actors, producers and technicians from the movie industry. It also displays famous objects from its collections with a permanent exhibition « Passion cinéma », and organizes temporary exhibitions to show their vast and rich collection.

I have managed to destroy my ldap database. My mail store (/opt/zimbra/store) and mysql databases are intact (restored). I created new ldap accounts matching my old accounts but, of course, the new accounts point to new mail stores.
How can I make my ldap accounts (zimbraPrefIdentityId) match the old account_id's (zimbra.mailbox.account_id) in the mysql database or vice versa?
I can see the accounts in the mysql database (zimbra.mailbox.account_id) but there is a foreign key constraint preventing me from doing an UPDATE on the account_id field. I don't want to remove the foreign key for fear of messing up something else.
I can see the ldap zimbraPrefIdentityId, using zmprov gid. However, I cannot modify it using "zmprov mid". "Zmprov mid" returns an error, probably for some very good reason.
I am running zimbra 7.2.5 community edition on Centos 6.4.
HELP! I have seen multiple similar questions on the forums, but nobody has actually addressed a solution. And please don't tell me that I need to do better backups, it's a little late for that.
Thanks for any help

Obama's Allies Boiling Over Fracking Plan
June 28, 2013
PITTSBURGH — President Barack Obama's speech this week on climate change forcefully rejected some key arguments made by opponents of natural gas fracking, upsetting some environmental groups that......
""Obama responded by saying "The bottom line is natural gas is creating jobs"." What jobs, exactly, has it created for WV residents? Workforce West Virginia numbers for the WV counties where most of the drilling has gone on don't support that claim, at all. Once the holes are in and the pipes are laid, all the migrant, non-West Virginians doing nearly all the work now will be gone, the gas will be gone, the relatively very few royalty recipients will have moved to Florida, and, you'll be left with the same economic disaster area you had before, with a few big pipes snaking through and out of it. Keep in mind that Chesapeake Gas donated 27 million bucks to the Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal Campaign". Makes you wonder how much the gas industry donated to Obama's reelection campaign, and, how much they've spent on PR and self-promotion in general to influence the news.

Right, GEO. Because those wells are drilling themselves, those pipelines are laying themselves, those refineries are constructing themselves... No employment from gas...
4 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Further, much of the Nat Gas baloney sandwich you're being fed has to do with the fact that it generates less CO2 when it's combusted than does Coal. It's not that much less. Depending on it's exact composition, gas can result in about two-thirds the CO2 of Coal on a per-Btu generated basis. Not much of a savings, especially when you take into account the inevitably much higher costs of the electricity. And, one thing nobody likes to tell you is that some nat gas, as it sits in the ground, is already contaminated with some, sometimes a lot, of CO2. When that inherent CO2 is enough to interfere with combustion, or transport economics, they just strip it out near the production point and vent it to the atmosphere. That CO2 doesn't count, apparently, since it doesn't result from power plant combustion.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Troll: How many native, full-time resident West Virginians are employed in those efforts? According to Work Force West Virginia numbers, not many. In fact, in some counties where much of the drilling has been taking place, unemployment among West Virginia residents has gone up.

i don't personally know anyone from here working for the gas industry.they brought all of their own people which is ok.i say mount one of those wind turbine generators to obama's head and let the wind catch those ears.he would look like the exorcist version of mr. potatohead.we have to learn that when this dummy opens his mouth he doesn't know what he is talking about.we lived through our industrial revolution you dummy.if you truly believe that all of these diesel trucks aren't polluting anything or all of those fancy planes you fly in aren't polluting that's just a couple of more things that you don't know.

Just the latest scam to fool the low IQ lemmings!!!
Those of us that have lived long enough to see these scams before KNOW better!
The mindless 20 somethings that have had their small minds poisoned by the progressive liberal education system simply lap up the pablum fed by their progressive liberal teachers!

Shale gas and oil will not "save" the economy. The EROI (energy return on investment) is simply too small in comparison to the good ole days of cheap conventional oil. It was the heyday of cheap energy (1950s-80s) that resulted in the grand consumer economic experiment. The abundance of easily developed light sweet crude spurred industry, suburban expansion, the auto culture and sending man to the moon. Those days are gone, and the future does not look anywhere near as bright. We are in the wind down stage of an empire.

Wheeldog is absolutely right about EROI. And, in fact, production decline rates in some shale gas wells are so steep that the EROI actually ends up being negative for those wells, thus dragging down the average EROI for the entire field. Nat gas is just not, unlike Coal, or, to a lesser extent, oil, a high energy density medium. You need to produce a lot of it in order to equal and exceed the amount of energy you put into getting it. Otherwise, it's a waste.

"Good" President:
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she blocked a draft European Union law aimed at reducing carbon-dioxide emissions from cars over concerns the measure would cost jobs in the auto industry.
A coalition of EU states led by Germany prevented approval of the measure at a meeting of diplomats in Brussels earlier this week. Merkel said that she moved to delay the proposal -- which would cap average carbon discharges by passenger vehicles in the bloc at 95 grams a kilometer in 2020 -- to defend jobs."
Maybe she can run in 2016 to turn around America before it is too late.

And, the entire greenhouse debate about Coal should be just about over, in any case. A little less than three weeks ago, on June 11, 2013, the US Government awarded "US Patent 8,461,215 - Rendering Coal As An Environmentally Carbon Dioxide Neutral Fuel" to the University of Southern California. The invention is described as "a method for rendering coal as an environmentally essentially carbon dioxide-neutral fuel. Carbon dioxide produced from coal combustion is captured, purified, combined with ... methane or with hydrogen, and reacted under reaction conditions sufficient to form methanol and/or dimethyl ether, which can be used as fuel or feedstock for derived synthetic hydrocarbons and products". The "dimethyl ether", DME, is, with some minor engine mods, a serviceable diesel fuel, and can substitute for LPG. Both it and Methanol can be converted into Gasoline.

WV, obviously you have a good grasp of the fundamental flaw in energy production. Net energy gain is far more important than gross energy production. If it takes the equivalent of one barrel of oil investment to produce a barrel of finished oil energy product the net gain is zero. The modern energy-intensive economy was built on a net return of 40-to-50 barrels of oil for every barrel equivalent invested. The current-day lifestyle is founded on the assumption that energy, particularly oil, can can continue to be produced abundantly and cheaply.

Wheeldog: Yes, absolutely correct. And EROI, or EROEI as it's sometimes written, has been used as an argument by at least 2 or 3 critics of some, not all, shale gas plays; that is, you're not getting as much energy out in the gas as is being put into the drilling, fracking, compressing, pumping, etc. The EROI problem in CO2 recycling is overcome with catalysts, in some cases as in our post below with biological intermediates using enzymes to leverage the reactions; and, in some cases, as they are in Iceland, where they have an abundance of geothermal energy and are using it to convert CO2 into alcohols and hydrocarbons, just using a lot of one type of energy to make less of another one, although one, like the liquid fuels being made in Iceland from CO2, with a lot more economic value and utility. Several folks, by the way, like Panasonic, in Japan, are using otherwise unused solar energy to convert CO2 into Methane.

And, Wheeldog, we will note, again speaking to the energy invested versus energy returned equation, that, all the way back in the late 1800's, yes, 1800's, there were a couple of designs floated that used focused solar radiation to gasify Coal and convert it into what was known as "town" or "producer" gas, a substitute natural gas - a process that was otherwise accomplished by a partial oxidation of the Coal and, thus, a loss of some of the potential chemical energy inherent in the Coal. They were using freely available solar energy to conserve Coal's more valuable chemical energy in the conversion process.

WVUGEO "in a very energy-efficient way, converts Carbon Dioxide into Methane." Here's an even more energy-efficient process. Sell and use the energy you would have used to drive the process instead of burning fuel and producing the CO2 in the first place. Since the Second Law of Thermodynamics is beyond your comprehension I'm sure that makes no sense to you, though.
WVUGEO "freely available solar energy" Where can I get some of that "freely available solar energy"? Because solar is just about the most expensive electricity you can buy right now... Derrrr....
WVUGEO ""town" or "producer" gas" So now you're advocating coal to carbon monoxide as a safe alternative to fracking? Too funny.

Bay District School officials took another step Wednesday in their effort to explore privatization.
They reviewed the proposals from four transportation companies, bidding to take over the district's bus system. School district officials are trying to find out if outsourcing transportation and other departments like food services can save money.
Durham School Services, First Student, Go Ahead North America, and School Transportation Companies all submitted proposals. The bids all fall within the $6 million to $9 million dollar range, which is in line with current operating costs.
The Bay Educational Support Personnel Association, which represents non-instructional district employees are against the move toward privatization.

Most investors are probably aware that the healthcare industry slowed significantly during the recession and has been very slow in coming back. Hospitals have pulled back on capital spending and procedure counts have dropped as would-be patients worry about inadequate insurance coverage, higher co-pays and/or the opportunity to take time off for recuperation.
There's another segment of the healthcare industry, though; one built around elective procedures that is generally not covered by health insurance. Aesthetics is a big part of this segment, and the market for skin tightening, rejuvenation and so on nearly collapsed in the recession. Procedure counts are starting to come back, though, and Solta Medical (Nasdaq:SLTM) is a risky name worth checking out by virtue of its differentiated business model and new LipoSonix body-sculpting line.
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers
The Opportunity to Fatten up from LipoSonix
One of the biggest changes to Solta in recent times has come from the acquisition and launch of the LipoSonix body-sculpting system. LipoSonix was developed for a time by large dermatology and aesthetics company Medicis (NYSE:MRX), but the company made modest progress and ultimately decided that it was outside of the core focus. Solta stepped up and acquired the platform for $35 million in cash and various earn-outs that will stretch over a number of years.
LipoSonix uses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy fat cells. It's not medically equivalent to liposuction, but it is a safe and is a relatively comfortable way of reducing fat deposits under the skin and can be used for so-called "body sculpting" procedures.
Solta is neither alone nor first to market; Zeltiq (Nasdaq:ZLTQ) has been marketing its CoolSculpting product for a little while now, while companies like Syneron (Nasdaq:ELOS) and Palomar (Nasdaq:PMTI) market laser-based body sculpting products. Nevertheless, Solta's newest LipoSonix is off to a good start; a worldwide launch in the first quarter of 2012 saw better-than-expected demand and nearly 80 system installations.
SEE: 5 Financial Moves That Can Make You Fat
Will a Differentiated Model Pay off?
In the aesthetics industry, the historical norm has been to build and sell relatively expensive systems with reusable (and expensive) hand pieces. This requires the doctor to make a relatively large upfront capital commitment and then earn that back with per-procedure costs.
Solta has tried a different approach. While Solta's systems are not cheap, the company's Thermage, Fraxel and Isolaz platforms feature much cheaper disposable tips. This reduces the upfront cost for the doctor, and allows Solta to book a lucrative ongoing stream of high-margin revenue that is directly correlated to system usage. The company still has to deal with the fact that rivals like Syneron and Cynosure (Nasdaq:CYNO) have larger share (and Palomar reaps substantial licensing revenue for its technology), but there is a fair bit of turnover in this market and the useful life of the systems is around five to 10 years.
Solta has also tried to build its brand by marketing directly to potential aesthetics procedure customers. While there's some legitimacy to the idea that an "ask for it by name" campaign could lead practitioners to buy Solta systems if enough customers ask about it, the reality is that this is very much a market that is driven by word of mouth and direct recommendations. In other words, patrons of aesthetic procedures are more likely to recommend the doc and the procedure and by relatively little notice to the name on the hand piece.
SEE: Which Is Better: Dominance Or Innovation
The Bottom Line
The aesthetic procedure market is definitely still well below its heyday, but the market isn't as bad as the stock valuations suggest. There has been a recovery in procedure counts, and the market seems to be getting slowly better. What's more, Solta has the advantage of fresh LipoSonix revenue to drive better growth.
At less than 1.5 times trailing revenue, Solta is not getting much regard by the market, and that could spell opportunity for aggressive risk-tolerant investors. I'd like to see a quarter or two of margin outperformance (as well as stronger disposables sales) before really buying in, but a strong launch of LipoSonix and a larger aesthetics market recovery could fuel strong gains here in time.
At the time of writing, Stephen Simpson did not own shares in any of the companies mentioned in this article.

Arrest of alleged Taleban militants for attack on schoolgirls fails to reassure nervous and angry population.
By Mohammad Ilyas Dayee in Kandahar (ARR No. 307, 12-Dec-08)The Mirwais Meena girls'school used to be a bustling place with over 1300 students. But now the halls and grounds are nearly empty, the swings hang motionless on the recreation field.
On a late November morning, there were only a dozen or so girls and three female teachers to be seen. The rest, traumatised by a vicious attack on November 12 that left several girls disfigured and two blinded, have chosen to stay at home.
A middle-aged teacher, her burqa draped over her arm, was making her way slowly out of the building. The click of her high heels echoed in the halls, and she wore a very sad expression. She said her name was Najila.
"That Wednesday was a very, very bad day," she said. "Some girls fainted; they were so afraid that the next day it would be their turn. We had never heard of anything like this before. I want to ask those who did this, 'Why?' Girls should be able to go to school and study. I do not know when this country will ever be okay."
The attack came as the girls and their teachers were leaving the school, according to eyewitnesses. Men on motorbikes, wielding what appeared to be water pistols, squirted acid on several groups of girls and their teachers. Many were wearing burqas, but they were targeted just the same. School officials say that most of the girls were related, and they all came from the same village.
Atifah was one of the group that was attacked. She escaped with injuries to her hands, but her cousins were not so lucky.
"There was a man with a black pistol in his hand, and he was glaring at me," she recalled. "Then he pointed the pistol at me and squirted acid at me. It got on my hands, but my cousins had acid thrown on their burqas. One of my cousins is in very bad shape now. She got acid in her eyes. They have now sent her to India for treatment."
The attacks shocked the country, and the world. Footage of the injured girls was shown on CNN, the BBC, and other international media, in addition to topping the news in Afghanistan.
But despite the government's well-publicised late-November arrest of ten men who have been accused of involvement in the incident, feelings are running high in Kandahar.
The principal of the school, Mahmoud Qaderi, told IWPR that his student body had been severely traumatised by the attack.
"First of all, I have to say that this was one of the saddest things I have experienced in my life," he said. "Our students and teachers were saying 'there is no security, there is no police.' They were very upset, because they no longer feel like they can come to school. We used to have 1300 pupils here. Nowadays we get only around 30. Three female teachers showed up. This is nothing."
Fatima, whose daughter had acid thrown on her face, has pushed her to go back.
"I will never let my daughter refuse to go to school," she said, standing with the girl on the school grounds. "The government has to find a way to provide transportation for the students, particularly for the girls. Look at Pakistan and Iran. They send their girls to school, but we cannot. I will never block the way for my daughter to go to school. Those who did this thing should know that is not human. My daughter even wore hijab, but they threw acid on her face."
Mothers like Fatima are rare. Many parents are keeping their children at home, say sources close to the department of education.
Mohammad Anwar Khan, who heads Kandahar's department of education, would not speak with journalists. But one official spoke on condition of anonymity.
"The number of children in school all over Kandahar has dropped dramatically," he said. "Attendance is down about 30 per cent. If the people responsible are not arrested and hanged, I do not think that girls will go back."
On November 25, the governor of Kandahar, Rahmatullah Raufi, announced that ten men had been arrested in connection with the attack. "Several of them" had confessed, he added.
Mohammad Daoud Daoud, deputy interior minister, told the media in Kandahar that the men had been paid the equivalent of 2,000 US dollars for each girl they attacked. He said that, once the investigation was completed, the men would be punished to the full extent of the law.
While the world press and much of the Afghan media has rushed to put the blame squarely on the Taleban, the insurgents deny responsibility. Their objections to girls' schooling have been well-documented, but such attacks, say Taleban officials, are to be condemned.
Qari Yusuf Ahmadi, spokesperson for the Taleban in the south, told IWPR that his group was not involved in the outrage.
"This criminal act was not done by the Taleban," he said. "We condemn this. I say it again - we have not done this thing, and those who were arrested are not our people. This government will say anything, and they punish people who are not even guilty."
Abdul Ahmad Mohmmadyar, a member of Ruhi cultural society in Kandahar, is sceptical of the government's claims that they have the perpetrators behind bars.
"I think that the authorities are just trying to pull the wool over our eyes," he told IWPR. "I am sure that they have arrested some people. But how do we know they are the real criminals? They have not shown us these men. Those who are responsible should be hanged right in the main intersection of Kandahar."
Education and security officials are now coming under pressure to take measures to protect the students. Many parents and girls are adamant that the province should provide buses to take them to the school, to avoid the dangers of the road.
"Our students come from very far away," said Mirwaid Meena's principal, Qaderi. "If there was a transportation system, 80 per cent of the problem would be solved. I have asked about this many times, from the government. But nobody has done anything about it."
Atifah is also eager to get back to school, along with her classmates. She agrees with her principal that transportation is the answer.
"I think a good way to get all those girls back to school is to give them buses," she said.
But until the problem is solved, the residents of Kandahar remain angry. They are looking for someone to blame, and for many the main culprit is the weak central government.
"I and my family are very upset," said Zahra, whose daughter was a pupil at Mirwais Meena. "If girls cannot go to school, I am worried that my daughter and others will remain illiterate. The government and [President Hamed] Karzai should take serious steps. Karzai will ask us for votes in the next elections? While a girl cannot go to school? How would we vote for him?"
Afghanistan's presidential elections are scheduled for next year, with Karzai facing stiff opposition.
Qaderi just wants his school back the way it was.
"Our school was a good school," he said. "But these things happen. This is Afghanistan, after all. I think it will take time to raise people's morale. And then, God willing, we will have our students back."

I am back in Cape Town after a long tiring trip that took me from Trinidad to Tobago, then on to Antigua and again on to London. The final leg from London to Cape Town was the longest, with the 747 packed with humans like sardines in a sardine tin, with us arriving at 06:45 in the morning. It's good to be home - although for a short period only!
So, what's next? Well, I am taking "In The Wind", a Leopard 40, with the owner, Kyle Mussman and crew member Richard Rotteveel, to Recife, Brazil. From there they will be joined by their partners and will slowly explore the Brazilian coast as they head towards the Caribbean.
The boat is well equipped although the SSB/HF radio is still to be installed, which will happen on Monday 16 February. The next few days will be spent starting the provisioning and getting some extra equipment ordered. We are still waiting for the boat registration papers to arrive from the US (the boat will be US flagged) and then we have to have a safety inspection and obtain the required CoF before we can proceed with departure formalities and get going! We are planning on departing Cape Town around Saturday 21 February.
Steve Searle, a highly qualified technician and fellow radio ham (ZR1ACM), will be installing the SSB/HF radio, together with a Pactor modem, thus we should have some good communications via email, allowing us to keep the blog updated on a regular basis - so, keep tuned!
I will update the blog again in the next few days with a progress report and test transmission from the boat before we depart. John.
We arrived in Chaguaramas at 21:30 local time on Friday 30 January 2009. The final approach passage via the narrow channel known as The Boca (Dragons Mouth) was done in pitch dark with Adrian at the helm and myself acting as "pilot". There was a strong current against us but Adrian manoeuvred the boat flawlessly through the channel and then through Chaguaramas Bay and the anchored and moored vessels, ending with parking Oceans Dream on the customs jetty without a hitch. Well done to Adrian as the bay and approach is a nightmare in navigation at night.
We spent the first night tied up to the customs dock after clearing customs. Fortunately the immigration office was closed and thus we could sleep the night tied to the customs jetty and then moved to CrewsInn Marina on Saturday morning after clearing immigration.
Luke and I will be spending the week here as our flight out is only on Sunday 8 February. So, we are assisting with rectifying some problems on the boat in between sampling the local brew and local food. Talking about the local brew, the humidity is so high that a person really needs a copious intake of fluid throughout the day to ensure your body does not get dehydrated. The photo above is Luke in his new disguise - beard, short hair and, of course, attending to his fluid intake.
So, from a wet Chaguaramas (yes, the heavens are still ensuring fresh water for the island), I bid you well and hope you have enjoyed my ramblings over the last month and a half. Until the next delivery, may you all keep well. John
Okay, I said the next and final blog report would be when we had reached Chaguaramas, but I thought a quick one could be fitted in before we arrived.
Firstly, we are about 45 nautical miles from Chaguaramas as I type this and remember that we are six hours behind South African Standard Time and four hours behind GMT/UTC - it is now just past noon, local time. Since last night we have had rain squall after rain squall. Everybody has had a good soaking during their watches! And we have just started our section along the north side of the island of Trinidad and . . . it is still raining!
Luke has just gone on watch in his full foul weather gear and has just spotted a huge leatherback turtle, its head about the size of a rugby ball. We have seen a number of turtles over the past two weeks but this one takes the cake for size.
Over the past few hours we have had a dramatic increase in shipping as we headed towards Galleons Passage, the channel between Trinidad and Tobago. These are ships heading not only to and from the coastal countries up ahead, but also to and from the Panama Canal. Adrian has been in his element checking each ships data that comes up on the AIS system - he really loves his gadgets!
So, from a wet crew (just spotted another monster turtle) to all the readers, greetings - I will post another (final, final) blog report after we have arrived and settled the boat in Chaguaramas - John.
I have caught some mighty fine fish over the years - and had a few small ones as well. However, the little trigger fish pictured above must be the most unlucky fish that was. Yesterday evening I rolled in our fishing lines only to find the little fellow had been impaled by one of the hooks on our lure. Not only that, a trigger fish is normally (as far as I am aware) a reef fish. What he was doing far out in the north Atlantic, I would not know.
And then today we had a line out again and hooked a nice sized Marlin. We brought him to the boat and cut it free from the line as they are unpredictable and not to be played with as that pointed bill is a lethal weapon.
Our weather has improved slightly and we have been making good daily miles, although with a lot of banging still going on as we crest swells and have them thump under the boat. Also, we are still experiencing squalls every few hours. They bring a lot of rain and wind, the wind not always from the direction we want! At noon today we had 142 nautical miles to our next waypoint, situated at the start of Galleon's Passage, the section where we enter the Caribbean Sea between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. From there we have another 71 nautical miles to the customs dock in Chaguaramas, Trinidad. So, if we can keep a good pace over the next 24 hours, we may even be able to reach our destination late tomorrow afternoon. If not, we will wait at sea to enter the pass to Chaguaramas at first light on Saturday morning. An update in the next blog report.
I have just downloaded the latest weather forecast and it looks like we will loose our wind as we get closer to Trinidad - lets hope the forecasters are wrong! If they are correct, we will have to rely on the diesel sail to get us the last hundred miles or so.
So, what to do in Chaguaramas? A lot really. The boat has a number of problems that need to be sorted out - some minor but a number major, which will need specialists to have a look at and repair. For this reason Adrian has booked a week in one of the marinas in Chaguaramas and Luke and I will assist in repairing some of the minor problems. We also need to clean the boat to get the salt and grime off the boat, and do some of our laundry. Then, of course, we need to sample some of the local rum and food - both of which are pretty good.
At this time Luke and I start our journey back home by taking a ferry from Trinidad to Tobago and then flying to London on Sunday 8 February. We then have a direct flight back to Cape Town.
But, enough for now. My final blog report for this delivery will be posted after we arrive in Chaguaramas. Greetings from all aboard - John
For the past few days we have been experiencing rain squall after rain squall, making being on watch a wet affair. Not only that, the wind is persisting from the north-east which means that the seas are on the beam (side of the boat), making a terrible noise as they hit us each few seconds. It's really, I imagine, like being in a washing machine. The result of all the above is that it is hard to sleep properly and everybody is a bit irritable at the moment. Also, due to the rain and spray, we cannot open our hatches and the boat is like a sauna inside.
Yesterday, Sunday 25 January, we had a dramatic change in the colour of the sea as we passed from the clear ocean into the outflow of the Amazon River - this was whilst we were over 100 nautical miles off the coast! There was a clear line in the ocean and everybody watched as we sailed over it. All quite amazing!
Once again, whilst off the Amazon Delta, we had a couple of visiting Noddies trying to land on the boat at night, I am not sure if any were successful due to the wind and motion of the boat.
As I write this report, we are now four to five days out of Trinidad - we expect to arrive there around noon (local time) on Saturday 31 January if we can keep up a daily of over 144 nautical miles, which we are exceeding at the moment. Remember that Trinidad (and the rest of the Caribbean islands) are 4 hours behind GMT/UTC and 6 hours behind SAST. At the moment we are approaching our last time change, which we will most likely celebrate with a double happy hour tomorrow night.
Thanks once again to Shaun, ZS1RA, for keeping me updated on the blog comments and also the local SA news. Regards from all aboard, John

DAYTON, Ohio - The Butler volleyball team finished its first weekend of A-10 play with a 3-0 loss at Xavier. The Bulldogs will be at home against George Washington and Duquesne next weekend at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
"It was a rough loss for us," head coach Sharon Clark said. We lacked the toughness we needed today and simply didn't match Xavier's aggressiveness."
Sophomore Belle Obert had 10 kills and 10 digs to lead Butler, which was held to .039 hitting. In the loss, Clark lauded sophomore reserve Stephanie Kranda's performance.
"Steph was awesome off the bench today," Clark said. "She was the spark. But we needed others to step up and execute but it wasn't to be today. Xavier played very well and hit aggressively."
Kranda posted six kills on .455 hitting. She also had three digs.
Butler led 7-5 early before a 4-0 run gave XU the lead for good. The Musketeers (9-7, 2-0) added a couple big runs later in the set to win 25-17. Likewise, the second set was 3-3 before Xavier exploded to lead 17-5. The Musketeers ended up taking the set 25-11 and leading the match 2-0.
Xavier continued control, building a 16-9 lead in the third set. The Bulldogs rallied to within 17-14 but Xavier went back up 23-18. Two Bulldog attak errors were the final two points for the Musketeers.
XU's Sarah Brown had 15 kills on .324 hitting.
George Washington comes to Hinkle Friday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. There will be a tailgate party in the parking lot before the match.

Patience truly is a virtue. Just ask Clemon Johnson.
The new Florida A&M men's basketball coach has waited 20 years since finishing his professional basketball career to return to his alma mater with his dream job.
"I'm ready for this opportunity, so I'm looking forward to it," he said. "It's totally a blessing because I've been around the world more or less and now I've made it back home."
Johnson played in the N-B-A for 10 years and three years overseas. After retiring, he was back on the sidelines. He became the first head boys basketball coach at East Gadsden High School. But his most recent stint was at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.

Looking to pick up a Trek 330 this afternoon. Pics and description on CL show it has new bar tape, brakes, tires and tubes. Frame is somewhat scratched but otherwise no rust.
I'm not a huge fan of the bar tape color, and will likely spend money after to replace. Seller is asking $140, how low would be "too low" to start the haggling? I was thinking of asking offering $100 cash to start but I don't want to insult the seller either.
If I got it to $120 would that be a good deal? Also, any recommendations on any specific components things of value to look for when I take a look at it this afternoon? I.e. if it is known to have special components on some models or so.
The size is a pretty large frame (25"), and while it would be on the larger side for me, I don't know how sought after it would be at that price and if I should just make the grab today.

The jury that heard Linda Fletcher'sprivacy case clearly believed in privacy rights. They awarded $5,000compensatory and $50,000 punitive damages against her former employer, PriceChopper Foods. Fletcher worked as a deli cook at a Price Chopper grocery storein Trumann, Arkansas. Her manager, Marlene Sawyer, took impermissible legal andinvestigatory short-cuts in an effort to document the reasons for Fletcher'stermination. Despite these employer mistakes and the adverse jury verdict, PriceChopper won this case before the Eighth Circuit, Fletcher v. Price ChopperFoods of Trumann, Inc., 2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 19072 (8th Cir., August 9,2000). Privacy rights may be ubiquitous but they are not unassailable.
Perceptive readers should spot the twomistakes over-zealous Manager Sawyer made. Fletcher was diagnosed with diabetestwo years after she began work as a deli cook at this grocery store. Fifteenmonths later, her left leg had to be amputated below the knee. After sevenmonths' rehabilitation and a prosthetic limb, Fletcher returned to work as adeli cook. Her medical troubles continued. She then developed a diabetic ulcerin her right foot which had to be treated and dressed at a local hospital threetimes a week. While at work, she spilled hot gravy on that same right foot. Acoworker helped her remove her sock and applied burn cream to the exposedportion of her foot.
Fletcher filled out a Arkansasworkers' compensation form for this hot gravy incident as Price Chopper policyrequired. That form contained an authorization that permitted the release ofFletcher's medical information. However, Fletcher never followed through andfiled a workers' compensation claim for this incident. A few weeks later,Fletcher learned her right foot had developed a staph infection. She immediatelytold this to two coworkers who promptly told Manager Sawyer. Arkansas healthregulations prohibited anyone with a communicable disease (such as staph) fromworking in food preparation. Sawyer then terminated Fletcher.
The employer mistakes were about tohappen. Fletcher filed for unemployment, claiming she did not have a staphinfection at the time Price Chopper fired her. This claim upset Sawyer whodecided to become an amateur detective rather than relying on what Fletcher hadtold her two coworkers. Sawyer called Fletcher's doctor and spoke to NurseFlemon. Flemon said she could not release any information without a medicalauthorization form. Sawyer replied she had one because all Price Chopperemployees sign medical information waivers when they begin work. Sawyer thenfaxed Flemon a copy of Fletcher's unsubmitted workers' compensation formwith its medical authorization. Sawyer also told Flemon Fletcher had removed thebandage from her foot during work. That information upset Flemon because thedoctor had warned Fletcher not to expose her infection to the air. Based onSawyer's two statements, the doctor wrote Sawyer informing her Fletcher wasindeed infected with the staph virus. His letter also reiterated that she shouldnot remove the bandage.
The good news was that Price Chopperwon the unemployment case hands down. The bad news was that Fletcher immediatelysued the company under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ten months later,Fletcher amended her complaint to add a state law invasion of privacy claim.Both claims went to the jury. Price Chopper obtained dismissal of the ADA claimbut, as noted, was assessed $55,000 total damages on the privacy claim. Thedistrict court struck out the jury's $50,000 punitive damages award. That leftonly the $5,000 compensatory damages for what the jury found was an unlawfulinvasion of Fletcher's privacy. That, in turn, was struck down by the EighthCircuit because privacy rights are particularly fragile.
Arkansas, like the majority of thestates, follows Restatement (Second) Torts, which lists four distinct tortsunder the general heading "invasion of privacy." Fletcher might have chosenthe third privacy category ("unreasonable publicity given to a person'sprivate life") but did not. Presumably, the disclosures by Sawyer to the nursewere not "public" enough and were also information the nurse already knew.Fletcher and her attorney chose to rely on the first privacy category,unreasonable intrusion upon the seclusion of another. There was a clearintrusion. Sawyer used a workers' compensation form's medical authorizationto gain information from Fletcher's doctor about her staph infection. This wasemployer mistake number one. Fletcher applied only for unemployment. She did notfile for workers' compensation. Sawyer's representation to the nurse thatthe unsubmitted workers' compensation medical authorization form was "goodfor all purposes" was false.
The second mistake was that Sawyer toldthe nurse Fletcher had removed the bandage from her foot ulcer in violation ofthe doctor's orders. The coworker's report to Sawyer said only thatFletcher's sock had been removed and burn cream had been applied tothe exposed portion of Fletcher's right foot. The jury very likely foundSawyer had grossly misrepresented to Nurse Flemon what Fletcher had done at workespecially after hearing Fletcher herself testify without contradiction she didnot remove her bandage.
The intrusion on someone's seclusionmust also be unreasonable. At this point, the Eighth Circuit judges partedcompany. Two panel members found Sawyer had not acted unreasonably because thedocumentation of Fletcher's staph infection that Sawyer zealously sought"could otherwise have been obtained by other means." Price Chopper couldhave easily obtained a subpoena for Fletcher's doctor's testimony during theunemployment benefits application process that Sawyer was so determined to win.Yet because an alternative legal means to obtain the exact same information wasavailable even though never used, Sawyer's conduct in cutting a fewcorners was not "highly offensive" as this invasion of privacy categoryrequires.
To support this conclusion, themajority cited an interesting Kansas case, Werner v. Kliewer, 238 Kan.289 (1985). There, a husband embroiled in a divorce and child custody battleurged his wife's physician to write to the trial court disclosing his wife'sseveral suicide attempts. The physician wrote that letter and the wife promptlysued claiming invasion of privacy. The Kansas Supreme Court granted summaryjudgment to the physician holding that nothing in the letter "was not alreadyknown" by the husband and his failure to follow "standard court anddiscovery procedures" was not highly offensive.
The Eighth Circuit did not have to goto this extreme to excuse Sawyer's "morally reproachable" conduct. Privacyis an expectation, not a right. It can be defeated in many ways. Here, Fletcherimmediately told two coworkers that her right foot had developed a staphinfection. The information Sawyer was zealously trying to document by impropermeans was no longer "private" information. All three panel members readilyagreed that Fletcher's "revelation of private information to coworkerseliminated Fletcher's expectation of privacy by making what was formerlyprivate a topic of office conversation." Thus, long before Sawyer, acting asan amateur detective to defeat Fletcher's minor unemployment claim, contactedFletcher's doctor, "the proverbial cat had escaped from the bag. . . ."Fletcher no longer had any expectation of privacy after she told her two on-sitecoworkers who, not being restricted by Fletcher, immediately passed on the newsabout Fletcher's staph infection to Sawyer, who was located in anotherArkansas town.
Even at this point, the majority againdeparted from the concurring Judge. Fletcher's staph infection obviouslyprecluded her from working as a deli cook under Arkansas and ADA rules. Thatinfection also had the potential to infect her coworkers. The majority thereforeheld, alternatively, that "an employer's need to know trumps an employee'sright of privacy." This was a further reason why Fletcher did not have areasonable expectation of privacy with respect to knowledge of her staphinfection.
This case shows the vast differencesbetween employees' (and jurors') privacy expectations and legal realities.Privacy expectations can be defeated by employer policies and by theemployee's own contrary actions. At the same time, employers need to ride hardon over-zealous managers such as Marlene Sawyer. A short-cut that wins a minorunemployment battle and yet opens up a protracted and costly ADA-privacy legalwar is not worth taking.

Icode1 Usage
The item record Icode1 field is one which we are able to define locally for internal projects. Innovative provides a range of values, from 0 to 9999, but it is up to us to keep track of what those values mean. The item record displays only the number of the icode1 with no explanatory text. Some ways in which we have used this field in the past:
- BCR used a specific code to keep track of items which they had inventoried.
- Some branches used specific codes to keep track of materials they were evaluating for shipment to PASCAL.
Essentially, the Icode1 field can be used to "flag" item records for almost any purpose. However, as there is no record in Innovative of what the values are being used for, it is up to us to keep track. The table below is intended to do that, but will only work if Libraries personnel:
- Advise the Libraries Information Technology Department each time a new project using the Icode1 field is begun and
- Advise Systems when a project is complete and a particular Icode1 value is no longer being used and should be removed from the table.
Current Icode1 values
Default value placeholder. Templates for new item records should use 0 unless the template is for a specific project which assigns an Icode1 value.

News: What are you snacking on?
Story by Airman 1st Class Klynne Pearl Serrano
ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. – With health and nutrition becoming more popular, making intelligent food choices is easier. This is true when it comes to building a healthy meal, but what are people reaching for in their drawers at work or purchasing at vending machines? Snacks.
Tara Beth Johnson, 97th Medical Group Nutrition Program manager, shares her ideas about healthy snacks to satisfy morning and afternoon cravings.
"If you don't have access to refrigeration, I think nuts are an awesome choice," Johnson said. "They have protein, carbohydrates and fat. There aren't many foods that have all three."
Though nuts are full of nutrition, Johnson expresses the importance of moderation.
"The only thing I caution people with about nuts is that they're very caloric," Johnson said. "One serving of nuts is about the amount that will fit on a three by three Post It. Don't ever eat out of the can."
People with a sweet tooth can get their fix as well.
"Sometimes you just need something a little sweet," Johnson said. "Cereal bars are great, but look for ones as low in sugar as you can get because some have quite a bit of added sugars."
Chocolate is also a healthy snack, Johnson said.
"Something that is individually packaged in small packaging with at least 70 percent cacao is good," Johnson said. "The higher the cacao percentage, the better. It's not overly sweet, but you still get the good antioxidants in chocolate."
Johnson shared the reasons why people may feel that healthy snacks don't taste as good as the snacks they're used to.
"I think it's what you become accustomed to and your expectations for things," Johnson said. "For example, some canned soups are extremely high in sodium. When you're accustomed to eating canned soups that are high in sodium and you decide to switch to low-sodium soup, the low-sodium soup will taste terrible at first, but you get used to it. Then when you try the high-sodium soup again, it will taste awful."
That's what's cool about taste buds, Johnson said. "Our taste buds are very malleable. We get used to what we get used to."
Johnson will start her nutrition workshops around Oct. 30.
"It is called 'Better body, better life'," Johnson said. "This workshop encompasses diet, behavior modification and physical activity and is designed to help individuals seeking to lose and maintain their weight and enjoy an overall healthy lifestyle."
For more questions about health and nutrition, contact the 97th MDG Nutrition Program manager at 481-5251 or visit the base Health and Wellness Center.

Three Crimson Tide basketball players will be making their final appearance in Coleman Coliseum when the University of Alabama takes on the Auburn Tigers Wednesday, March 2 at 7 p.m. Alabama will honor its senior players, from left, Lucky Williams (13), Earnest Shelton (5) and Jason Reese (24) and also senior manager Brian Pounders prior to tip-off.
Bama fans are urged to come and cheer this group on as some of Bama basketball's greatest moments have come under their tenure including the 2002 SEC Championship, Alabama's first No. 1 national ranking (2003), and the 2004 march into the NCAA tournament's Elite 8, Alabama's deepest run ever in the NCAA tournament. Tickets can be purchased at the door or, in advance, at the Tide's Athletic Ticket Office which is currently located at the Capstone Medical Center and will be open for sales between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. or by calling 205-348-BAMA.

The key word here is "lawful"
... because it's all too easy to place a blanket label of "illegal" on a range of applications, services and data streams that the current regime (or service provider) dislikes, doesn't understand, or thinks is too much load for their outdated backhauls.
Secondly, how are they going to separate a "lawful" data stream from an illegal one over the same protocol ? Did someone say "enforced deep packet inspection" ?
I'll admit it's a nice (and nobly-intended!) try, but with a slightly too easy get-out clause attached.
