The girl's uncle spotted her walking home from school and thought she bore a striking resemblance to his niece.
09:41, UK, Friday 08 August 2014
A girl given up for dead after the 2004 tsunami has been returned to her family almost 10 years after being swept away by surging waters.
Ranudhatul Jannah was four years old when huge waves struck her family's home in West Aceh, Indonesia, on December 26, 2004.
She and her seven-year-old brother were carried off by the waves, and after a month-long search her parents gave up hope of ever finding the children alive.
But the girl's mother Jamaliah has now described her joy at the "miracle" return of her daughter.
"God has given us a miracle," Jamaliah said.
"My husband and I are very happy. I am so grateful to God for reuniting us with our child after 10 years of being separated."
Jannah's return came after her uncle spotted a girl walking home from school who bore a striking resemblance to his niece.
After making inquiries, he discovered the girl had been caught up in the tsunami and was swept away from Aceh to remote islands south-west of the province.
It was there that Jannah was rescued by a fisherman and taken to the mainland, where she was raised by the fisherman's mother.
Jamaliah and her husband then visited the girl in June and discovered she was indeed their daughter, who is now aged 14.
"My heart beat so fast when I saw her. I hugged her and she hugged me back and felt so comfortable in my arms," Jamaliah said.
In 2011, another Indonesian girl washed away by the tsunami was reunited with her parents seven years after the natural disaster.
The 15-year-old said she was adopted by a woman shortly after the wave hit, and was forced to beg on the streets during her time away from her family.
The tsunami on Boxing Day in 2004 killed 230,000 people across a dozen nations and caused billions of pounds worth of damage.
It hit the province of Aceh, closest to the epicentre of the magnitude 9.1 quake that created waves 30 feet (10m) high, the hardest. More than 170,000 people were killed in Aceh.

Yes it's been on the cards, but it was still a shock to wake up today to the news that Apple's founder passed away last night in California.
He has literally changed the lives of millions of people with his creations going all the way back to the very first Apple computer. But it was his second stint at the head of the company where things really exploded with the fruit coloured iMac, the very first iPod and everything that followed.
There are people who don't use Apple products who have been affected. If you're tapping away on a rival tablet for example, it probably wouldn't exist if not for the success of the iPad.
It was only a month ago, when he stepped down as CEO I wrote about some of the brilliant products he gave the world, and there's thousands of articles today that will cover everything better than I ever could, so all I'll say is thank you Mr Jobs for everything you've given us, for your passion for making excellent products. You'll be missed.
(I'm currently in HK for the national day week long break, without a laptop, so this post comes courtesy of my iPad.)

Following intelligence obtained by police of plans to riot in Jerusalem, in rare move Defense Minister Ehud Barak orders 48-hour closure on West Bank. Entrance to Temple Mount to be restricted to holders of Israeli IDs
Hanan Greenberg
Published: 03.12.10, 09:24 / Israel News

Preparing for riots amid recent tensions. Defense Minister Ehud Barak
ordered a full closure be imposed on the West Bank on Friday. The closure was imposed at midnight, following a police assessment citing concerns that riots may break out in Jerusalem and spill over into the West Bank. This is a rare move, as such a closure has not been imposed on the West Bank during a period that is not a holiday in many years.

We stayed here while our oldest son was competing nearby for his track and field. It was a really nice campground. Lots for kids to do with beach, pool, splash pad, outdoor movies, playgrounds, library, etc. There was a cute little store which the kids loved. A bit of a hike to the splash pad, because it is located in the park across the road for the seasonal campers. The washrooms by the splash pad/seasonal area were modern & lovely. The washrooms by the weekend campers were clean, but a bit old. The park was quiet on the 2 weekdays we were there, but got quite busy on the weekend. - User3551
Oct 2013 - $45.00
We got there and they were closed (which we knew). But getting to our site was not easy when pitch black. If you are with a car only, it is not bad missing a turn, but when in motorhome and towing, it is not a piece of pie. Even getting to the campground can be pretty tricky. So slow down once you get in the lake area as curves are "risky". When making reservation, we asked for a pull through site as we were towing and did not want to unhook since we were arriving very late. We were told it would be fine. Surprise! Surprise! The site barely fits our 34' motorhome. It was touching both ends of streets. We were lucky no tents or other cars were parked in front of us otherwise no clue how we would have been able to pull out easily. We got there after heavy rain. Our site was on grass, so very muddy and slippery = dirty to get inside. We could not find our sewer on the ground (rain, leaves on ground, mud). A post would have been a nice thing to have to avoid wasting 15 minutes in darkness with flashlight trying to find that sewer. It only had a red cap on it when we found it – lucky find. Showers!!! We went to take a shower after a long stressful drive. The men's one had no hooks anywhere in the stall. Husband would have had to put clothes and bottles on the floor. I could hear him talk to me on his side and he said it was dirty and smelled so bad. I put my bathrobe on and crossed on the other side of the block. The smell was unbearable, and no hooks. So I told him to switch to women's side since it was late and no one around. Outside it was around 6c and all the windows were opened. No way for us to close them as too high and of course, no heat on. Why were all windows opened at this time of year when it is very cold and rainy. And it was like this on the 2nd night so we showered in our motorhome, even if more complicated for us. It's not because you are "camping" in "off-season" that you should freeze or be unable to use facilities because not many campers are there. We still paid for facilities. Put the heat on, and close the windows. Wi-fi is free and fast. But make sure you get your coupon codes every day as they are valid for 24hrs only. We did not know that. If you activate at night and you don't know (as no message pops up saying you are activating for 24hrs), the office may be closed when those expire and you will be out of internet until the office reopens. To me, the campground is not as nice as what I would have thought from pictures. All seems crowded. We were there in the Fall when few people around. I don't want to imagine the place when campground is full. Must be really crowded. But resort??? No. At least from others I have been to. Staff is very friendly. Campground was very clean in general (although bathhouses we used are really in need for an upgrade). Roads are narrow, but all paved. That is nice. We will not return as for us, too many negatives to enjoy our stay. - Helsyl
Jul 2012 - $42.00
We have stayed here twice and absolutely love it here!! Excellent price for water/electrical camp site. We love the private, cute beach. Free internet is a super plus bonus. 2 playgrounds, large pool, hot tub, horseshoes, sand filled volleyball courts, tennis courts & shuffle board, so much to keep everyone having fun, fun, fun. And its all included, just have to put down $20 deposit when signing out equipment (has to be cash). Downfall: only 41 tenting sites with water/electrical. They book up fast on weekends. The general store (can't remember the name) is reasonable priced and super friendly service. Tenting sites are centrally located close to everything. Bathrooms are clean but are a tad bit rustic. But hey: you are camping and showers are free!! We love, love, love Cedar Beach Resort. Can't wait to go back next year. - momrulez

Amateur Reality
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Generally when we hear the term "reality" in the porn world we think about guys driving around, picking up chicks on the street and convincing them to fuck (or a similar setup). However, in the case of Amateur Reality, the reality part seems to just refer to the fact that it is all amateurs.
Upon signing in to AmateurReality you might find yourself a little overwhelmed and maybe even a little confused by what you'll see. To clear things up a little, I will tell you that the site is like a combination archive/mega-site and should be looked at as such.
The content is made up of what you will find among 107 micro-sites. These sites aren't really worth a review on their own given how small they are and the ones I checked out weren't even updating. The network does, however, look to be updating about four times per week. If you want, you can "see all sites" and click your way through each one. However, most of them are poorly designed. So if you are looking for just videos I recommend the "videos" link at the very top of the page.
Clicking there will open up a new window where all the movies from all the sites are presented in a tube-site design. You will find 4,723 movies and besides just browsing page after page you can also filter the content via various categories. I am a big fan of true amateur porn and much of this content lives up to the name. Although, as you know with this type of material, the quality is going to vary quite a bit. Everything can be streamed and the movies ranged from poor to good in quality. Some of them had a Flash or Windows Media download.
Yes, there are photos. No, there is no separate section for them like there is for videos and many are vid caps. This makes counting almost impossible. However, I am going to go with an estimate of 30,000 sets. To see them you will have to browse through all the sites and find their individual picture sections.
You will find a huge mix of porn here. From swinging wives to made-at-home threesomes to webcam masturbation scenes to so much more (anal, facials, orgies, POV, spanking, etc). The site claims that most of the content is exclusive and it does look to be true. If you appreciate true amateur action and are willing to spend some time browsing and navigating your way around the site, then Amateur Reality is worth checking out.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Project Educate: Welcome to Cosplay Week!:
Some source cited from Wikipedia.org.
Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure), short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered on role play. A broader use of the term "cosplay" applies to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.
The term cosplay is a portmanteau of the words 'costume' and 'play'.
Costumes created by those who enjoy manga, anime, video games and movies, as well as books and television shows, are often worn to competitions, events, and for photoshoots. They can range from being wildly detailed to very simple and effective. They can be created out of anything laying around the house, or they can be pieced together painstakingly over months and sometimes even years!
The Cosplay gallery/genre on deviantART is gigantic. It branches out in to Artisan Crafts > Cosplay and Roleplaying, and in to Makeup Application, and even textiles and sculpting, as well as jewelry making.
As such, I can't cover everything, but for the next week I will try my best to bring to you informative articles and features covering as much as I possibly can!
If you like Cosplay, this week should be right up your alley!
I will be doing a series of short article features that will include photography features titled The A, B, C's of Cosplay (Part 2), as well as tutorials, and explanations used by cosplayers and conventions for your information!

The Absynth Quintet:
Humboldt County California is well known as a Mecca for pot cultivation and culture, long heralded as one of the premier hotspots for new strains and potent varieties. Now, an entirely new type of "grass" is emerging from behind the Redwood Curtain, and it's likely to give you a nice, warm buzz – High Energy Gypsy Jamgrass.
Humboldt is home to one of the most rapidly rising jamgrass bands in the country, the Absynth Quintet. A tasty fusion of genres, the Absynth Quintet melds the familiar and the avant-garde with a unique and provocative palette of tone and texture. This is foot stomping bluegrass, exotic gypsy swing, and virtuosic jazzy folk intertwined with playful forays into the depths of funky experimentation. The synergy of these seemingly divergent styles ends up sounding something like Yonder Mountain String Band meets Phish... with a hint of Zappa thrown in for good measure. The blend is unique, yet familiar.
2008 saw the Absynth Quintet break onto the national scene with the release of Indigo Shoes, their stellar full-length studio album. Indigo Shoes was recorded in Humboldt County at the band's studio, The Sonic Dimple, over the course of three wet winter months. Jazzmando.com calls the album "fierce acoustic energy that never betrays a carefully crafted sophistication." And Gratefulweb.net immediately placed the group in their Band of the Month slot after hearing only a few tracks.
While Indigo Shoes showcases the band's chops in a studio environment, their 2007 live release Kevlar Mariachi Pants offers a glimpse into the honed improvisational skills the group has cultivated over four years of touring. Kevlar primarily consists of originals, but also includes a fiery treatment of John Coltrane's "Mr. PC." The Arcata Eye said "...listening to Kevlar Mariachi Pants is akin to being served an exotic meal (or mind altering beverage) one could never hope to replicate at home. You have to go out for this kind of stuff. Delicious."
The albums are available on iTunes, CDBaby and direct from the band through their Web site. This High Energy Gypsy Jamgrass band is touring this summer, check the Web site for dates near you and taste a bit of Humboldt's newest strain for yourself.

Street motorcyclists and off-highway riders who hoped that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act would require health-insurance policies to cover treatment for injuries sustained while riding are in for a big disappointment, experts say.
The president's signature health-care reform legislation, which began rolling out in January, failed to close the gaping loophole in the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that allows employers and insurance companies to exclude "risky activities" from coverage.
Instead, employers and insurers can continue to establish arbitrary standards of behavior and determine health-care coverage based on the source of the injury.
It's not just motorcyclists and all-terrain vehicle riders who are affected.
Other activities typically excluded by health-care plans include hang gliding, skydiving, bungee jumping, parasailing and rock climbing. Also excluded: automobile, aircraft or speed-boat racing; reckless operation of a vehicle or other machinery; "ultimate fighting;" use of explosives; and travel to countries with advisory warnings.
While injuries resulting from these activities can result in costly medical bills, motorcycle and ATV riding are arguably everyday activities enjoyed by an estimated 22 million Americans.
All too often, injured motorcyclists and ATV riders don't realize the limits of their health-care coverage until they are lying in a hospital bed.
Kent Stuermer of Roseburg, Ore., crashed his Honda CR250 in December, breaking his neck and hand and tearing ligaments in his shoulder.
The results: $173,000 in medical bills that his health-care plan won't cover, and the prospect of those expenses rising to more than $250,000 when all the treatments and rehabilitation are complete.
"That's more money than I've made in my whole life," Stuermer says.
Stuermer's C2 vertebra is secured with a screw. He is wearing a neck brace. His arm and hand are in a cast. He can't work his truck-driving job. And the 56-year-old and his wife are scraping by on her $700-a-month Social Security check and drawing down their savings account.
The Stuermers bought their policy directly, because his employer does not provide health-care benefits.
"I should be the poster boy for the campaign to get people to read their insurance policies," Stuermer says. "Most everybody trusts their insurance agent. You look the policy over a little bit, see you have $2 million in coverage, then sign it."
The exclusion for injuries sustained in dirt bike crashes is on page 22 of Stuermer's policy.
When he found out in mid-February that his policy would not cover his medical bills, Stuermer called his insurance agent.
The agent reminded him that he had 10 days to read the 50-page policy before signing it.
Stuermer wrote a letter to the insurer, called a lawyer and enlisted the help of a state lawmaker. But no one has been able to help.
"We are just up against a hard wall here," Stuermer says.
Lt. James Baker, a firefighter in Sebring, Fla., crashed his motorcycle along U.S. 27 while off-duty in June 2009. He was not wearing a helmet.
The city's insurance carrier denied his claim for about $86,000 in medical expenses, saying the employees' policies called for riders to wear helmets, even though Florida law does not require them.
The provision had been added to the policy in 2005 to exclude "activities of a hazardous nature," but the city failed to inform the affected workers.
The city eventually reached a settlement with Baker, who successfully argued that he sustained no head injuries in the crash, so the helmet requirement was irrelevant.
But the result could have been much more dire.

My interest in the History of Medicine started when I was a rotating intern at Gorgas Hospital, Panama Canal Zone, in 1964. Then I returned to Panama as a pediatrician in 1967 and continued my research into tropical pediatrics and the medical history of the Panama Canal. After I retired in 2002, several years were spent gathering all the material for a book published in 2007 on the life of Samuel T. Darling, a pathologist who discovered histoplasmosis while working in Panama during the construction of the Panama Canal. Other protagonists of interest have been Carlos J. Finlay, who first proposed the mosquito-vector hypothesis of yellow fever in 1881 and Clara Maass, a nurse from New Jersey who died during the yellow fever human experiments in Cuba in 1900. I have just completed a compilation of all the articles published in the Proceedings of the Canal Zone Medical Association between 1908 and 1928. The Clendening History of Medicine Library has been a splendid resource and of invaluable help in my research.

These are links to awards available on the IUB campus–you won't find them in the funding databases. Every graduate student should become familiar with the offerings of her home and minor departments, her school/college, the University Graduate School, and the GPSO. Many of these units offer awards and appointments annually, so it's possible to plan ahead and schedule time for preparing applications and requesting letters of recommendation.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you look for internal awards:
- Deadlines, awards, and amounts can change from year to year, sometimes without a great deal of notice.
- Always go directly to the source of an award if you have questions, and stay in touch with them (through their web page or e-mail list, ideally) so you'll know if there have been any changes.
- Some awards require nomination by your home department, even if the award is being offered by a different office on campus. For these, make sure you understand your department's nomination process, and let your professors know that you plan to apply.
- Don't be intimidated by prestigious awards! Fellowships like the Wells and the Edwards are very competitive, but every year they are awarded to graduated students not so different from you.
- Don't ignore the small awards! "Money begets money," as the saying goes, and winning smaller, local awards is an important part of building your funding history. Funding agencies will view your applications for larger grants more favorably if you have won the confidence and support of internal committees.
- For information about funding your studies through academic appointments, see our graduate assistantship information page.
- If your department or school/college does not post clear instructions for applying for funding, ask them to post this information on their web page. Everyone benefits from a clear, accessible process.
This list is not comprehensive of the funding opportunities for graduate students at IUB–just the best places to start your search. Please let us know if any of the links here are broken or out of date.

The actor model is nicely described by Gul Agha on his technical report, "Actors: a model of concurrent computation in distributed systems".
On page 49 he explains the "become" command:
become <expression>
After calling "become X", an actor will forward all his messages to another actor's mailbox (X).
I'm not sure, however, how this is implemented (it it's implemented at all) in languages like Erlang and Scala. Is it somethign I have to code manually? What about efficiency? Agha shows an implementation of a stack using message-passing. Every time a pop or push is performed, one more forwarding link is added to some actor... After hundreds of thousands of operations, I'd expect such an implementation to spend too much time forwarding messages and not doing actual work, unless some nice optimizations were performed under the hood.
So my question is: how is forwarding (or "become") implemented in typical actor languages like Erlang, Scala (and libraries for other languages)?

Laleh Hassibi, PayScale
The Q3 PayScale Index has evolved, now offering more enhanced compensation trend analysis than previously available. Q3 2013 marks the first time The PayScale Index has revealed shifts in 'real wages' by analyzing statistics from the Consumer Price Index together with PayScale's rich compensation data. The Q3 PayScale Index is also the first predictive Index; projecting only modest national wage growth of 0.1 percent in the U.S. for Q4. One more exciting addition to the existing Canadian and US trend analyses is the analysis of UK Compensation trends.
"Real wage growth is a key indicator of economic health and employee satisfaction because it blends inflation together with nominal wages," said Katie Bardaro, lead economist at PayScale. "The results of our Q3 survey aren't encouraging for employees, showing real wages have actually declined over the past seven years. This means the income for a typical full-time worker buys less today than it did in 2006. We also anticipate the trend of negative to low real wage growth will continue in Q4."
The decrease in real wages comes at a time when U.S. corporate profits are at a record high. According to the Q3 gross domestic product (GDP) report from the U.S. Commerce Department, corporate earnings were up 18.6 percent over the past year and corporate profits represented the highest percentage of GDP in history.
"Wages continue to be relatively flat, even as corporate profits are dramatically increasing," said Bardaro. "Our research shows turnover increases and productivity decreases when employees feel undervalued, so we believe this is the time for businesses to reassess their compensation strategy to ensure long-term success."
Key findings from The Q3 PayScale Index:
As an organization, you can request a PayScale Index compensation trend report customized to your geography, industry and business here.
About The PayScale Index: The PayScale Index follows changes in total cash compensation for full-time, private industry employees in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Has anyone ever solved this issue? The auto complete stalls so frequently and for so long, I quit using it altogether. I've only seen one other post for this and the answer did not help. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I've had success with the following using Eclipse (Classic) 3.6.1 on Windows 7 x64.
"A workaround, until the fix is released in 3.6.2 is summarized here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/0f9d2a852e661cba"
(copied for convenience)
"You can replace your /plugins/ org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.6.1.v_A68_R36x.jar plugin with one from http://www.google.com/url?q=http://adt-addons.googlecode.com/svn/patches/org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.6.1.v_A68_R36x.zip&ei=vg5aTf2RIMrUgAeI-qTvDA&sa=X&oi=unauthorizedredirect&ct=targetlink&ust=1297749446528273&usg=AFQjCNFv7FGlTrnoVhRGE35JPjHxOwI_Bw and restart Eclipse. Content Assists will be much better. Just try it. Don't forget backup your original plugins. "
This solved part of my problem.
In preferences, I defaulted all the 'Java->Editor->Content assist' screens and the performance is much improved. Any lag I have now is due to system speed and is negligible. I've gone from minutes to seconds building the suggestion list. I hope this helps others.
UPDATE: This didn't completely solve my problem, but it got me close. The search continues...
UPDATE: I'm developing in Java for Android using the default packages that are included and any that might have come down during a update(in retrospect, maybe choosing update all in the SDk update might not have been wise). The timing is fairly consistent online and offline. I did a few tests and found the following:
Startup Eclipse and enter a line of code that can use a .toString(). Typing the '.' populates the auto complete within 2-3 seconds. Type a 't' and it takes 70-75 seconds. After that, 10 seconds. Diff objects do the same thing(75 the first time, 10 after that). It's the filtering process that appears to stall. My CPU does not max, Memory is OK, but the program will go not responding till it's done. Any typeahead gets cached and eventually filters the list when Eclipse starts responding.
For me the problem went away when I increased the memory for the vm. Put this in your eclipse.ini:
on my 4GB Windows Vista system this would happen A LOT !! (as well as debug issues when looking up variables).
This all went away after I built my new PC with 8GB RAM. I can now run 4 emulators simultaneously and it doesn't have any debug problems any more either. Auto complete with huge lists also works just fine.
it would seem to be just an issue with how much RAM you've got.

Later this year, Talib Kweli and Mos Def (aka Yasiin Bey) will celebrate the 15th anniversary of their collaborative debut as the duo Black Star. Now, in a recent interview with MTV, Kweli recalls Diddy confronting them about one of their more incendiary records.
Kweli explained that Yasiin took the mic at a Lyricist Lounge event in 1997 to perform his verse from Black Star's "Children's Story," which features the lyric, "He jacked another and another, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder / Sang some R&B over the track for 'Deep Cover.'" Diddy, who happened to be in the crowd that night, later approached the two emcees and asked whether the song was intended as a diss because of his sampling practices at the time.
"It was a Lyricist Lounge event that night, and I think [the Notorious] B.I.G. had just passed away a couple of weeks before," he recalled. "We were working on the Black Star album and Yasiin jumped up and did a verse for 'Children's Story' and Diddy was in the house...Diddy came through and he came and wanted to talk to me and Mos about [how] he felt a way about the record, about what Mos was saying onstage. Mos told him, 'It wasn't directed at you personally. It's directed at everything that's going on in the business.' That was one of the illest conversations that I ever seen."
This wasn't the last time that Diddy and Mighty Mos crossed paths; recently, Diddy spoke of attempting to enlist the Brooklyn rhymer to help ghostwrite for his Last Train to Paris album.
