The "gmake all" was sucessfull, and the installation process too. This is the sollution but I cannot understand why it didn't worked for you. Maybe it's a problem of confusing libraries and using by mistake an old one. I understood that you used postgresql 6.3.2 from RedHat 5.0 distribution. I hope you previously delete *ANY* trace of postgresql-6.3.2 and it's libraries and it's all files concerning postgres. > I removed the Postgresql.6.3.x that came with RedHat (via rpm) and postgresql-clients too (I hope). > and got the postgresql-6.4.2.tar.gz > The Postgresql is working and i get connection by psql. > > The ldd results for /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so and > /usr/local/pgsql/libpgtcl.so are below: > > ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `./libpq.so' > libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40012000) > libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x400b6000) > /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000) > > ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `./libpgtcl.so' > libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40015000) > /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000) Very strange !!!!! I suspect a bad install. Are they (libpq.so and libpgtcl.so) marked as execution (chmod a+x libpq.so) ? Are they owned (as whole /usr/local/pgsql directory) by postgres user ? Is postmaster running under postgres id ? That means launched by postgres user ? Finally, be carefull, postmaster should be launched with -i option in order to offer connectivity for PgAccess. -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA

Cigar Friends 4
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices, have very few virtues." …Abraham Lincoln
""If you can't send money, send tobacco." – (to the Continental Congress, 1776) …George Washington
Welcome back Cigar Friends, Whether you are experienced, new, or an occasional cigar lover you must be aware that the FDA is trying to step in and not only regulate cigars but put a minimum price on what defines a premium cigar ($10). Let me clarify this statement.
Cigar Aficionado defines a premium hand rolled cigar as being made by hand from 100% tobacco leaves, without any flavorings or filters. No machine made cigars. The FDA for the most part agrees with this. But the FDA wants to put a limit on the category: a true premium cigar would have to cost more than $10. That's just Not Right!
Cigar Aficionado rated over 608 non-Cuban cigars in 2013 with the majority (416 to be exact) costing less than $10 and only about 32% cost over $10. In other words about 70% of all cigars rated would not be considered premium cigars.
We've always considered cigars as one of life's great, affordable luxuries. It doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. $10 is simply not a good gauge or justification. I ask each of you to make a difference for all of us. It is imperative that the cigar-smoking community speaks out. The FDA needs to hear from each and everyone of you. Follow the link below to tell the FDA you want an exemption for premium cigars. Let them know in no uncertain terms that a premium cigar doesn't have to cost $10. The FDA comment period ends July 9th which is not to far away.
Let's get on this. Here is the link: www.regulations.gov Type "deemingtobacco products" in the search box and follow the instructions

Security Update: libxml2
One security update has been released along with bunch of updates in x/ directory. While it may not be the latest version of the Xorg packages, it has proven to be the most stable version ever tested by Slackware team. Stability is more important than newer version which is buggy. Here's the latest -Current changelog:
Thu Nov 20 12:15:34 CST 2008
a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-2.tgz: Fixed a bug in the build script so that /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh.new is chmoded executable. If you installed the previous package, you should chmod 755 your /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh.
Thanks to Stuart Winter for pointing this out.
Wed Nov 19 19:52:15 CST 2008
a/acpid-1.0.8-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to acpid-1.0.8.
/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh will be installed as a .new with future upgrades, but since whatever version already installed on the system owns /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh, it will still be overwritten one more time when this update is installed. If you've customized your script, be sure to back it up before upgrading.
a/mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-4.tgz: Fixed a bug where unless -F was the first option given, other command line options would not override the contents of /etc/mkinitrd.conf as documented in the man page.
Thanks to David Somero for the patch.
l/libxml2-2.6.32-i486-2.tgz: Patched and recompiled.
This fixes vulnerabilities including denial of service, or possibly the execution of arbitrary code as the user running a libxml2 linked application if untrusted XML content is parsed.

NOTE: These are some of the more important updates for X.Org.

Those will require a lot of testing and some things don't seem to be quite there yet.
"X -configure" is hanging the console, DRI is not yet working on all the hardware tested, and the new xorg-server will render most existing xorg.conf files non-functional until several changes are made.
extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-2.01-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slacktrack-2.01.

Singapore Technologies Aerospace and the Panamanian government yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding to establish an airframe, heavy maintenance, repair and overhaul facility at the former Howard Air Force Base just west of the Panama Canal. Under the proposal, ST Aerospace would take over four existing hangars, each able to accommodate three narrowbody airplanes. It expects to commission the facility for operations early next year. If all goes as planned, the venture will create 1,000 jobs.
Separately, ST Aerospace opened a new $25 million hangar yesterday at the ST Aviation Services Company's Changi facility for widebody MRO services.

Legislation on interim measures
Interim measure provision
Early in 2011 the Commerce Code was amended. The changes included the provision that an arbitral tribunal and a party that requests interim measures are liable for such measures and any damages that they may cause to the other party (for further details please see "Commerce Code changes on judicial intervention in arbitration"). The new provision represents a risk for arbitral tribunals and may deter them from granting interim measures. This update analyses the solutions that some experts have suggested.
Legislation on interim measures
The code's provisions on arbitration essentially follow the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration. In connection with interim measures, the code states that:
Moreover, the code states that recognition or enforcement of an interim measure can be denied only:
The code also provides that:
The UNCITRAL Model Law states that a party which requests an interim measure is liable for costs and damages caused thereby if the tribunal later determines that the measure or order should not have been granted in the circumstances. The model law does not contain provisions regarding the tribunal's liability for granting interim measures.
The interim measure provision has been criticised as a disincentive to the granting of interim measures and, by extension, to arbitration as a whole. Certain experts have interpreted the provision to mean that the tribunal is liable only when an illicit act takes place, as it is a non-contractual liability.
One solution is to argue that arbitrators are protected by the internal rules of their arbitral institution, which typically limit arbitrators' liability. For example, Article 43 of the Rules of the Arbitration Centre of Mexico states that the centre, its general council and its secretary general are not liable for acts or omissions in connection with arbitration proceedings conducted under its auspices. The rules thus provide that a tribunal is not liable for damages caused by interim measures.
Some experts have suggested that parties waive the interim measure provision in the arbitration agreement. It has been argued that there is a basis for such a waiver in Article 6 of the Federal Civil Code, which states that private rights can be waived, provided that they do not affect public order and that the waiver does not negatively affect third parties' rights.
Unlike a court, which may issue injunctions or orders, an arbitral tribunal cannot issue orders against third parties because an arbitral agreement is effective only between the parties; therefore, it cannot affect the rights of third parties and is unlikely to affect public order.(1)
However, other experienced practitioners consider that the interim measure provision cannot be waived, as there is no certainty that the measures granted will not affect the rights of third parties when the provision is waived. Thus, such a waiver would breach Article 6 of the code. Moreover, such experts argue that pursuant to Article 11 of the code, the waiver is invalid unless it is expressly permitted by the provision. However, they acknowledge that, in practice, it is highly unlikely that an arbitral tribunal will be held liable for the granting of interim measures, provided that the issuance of such measures requires a judicial proceeding in which the parties have the opportunity to file their arguments and defend themselves.
Furthermore, some experts argue that even if the interim measure provision is in place, it is highly unlikely that a judge would find an arbitral tribunal liable, given that the parties must provide security in order to cover any damage caused. In the case of ex parte interim measures, the party affected may have an additional defence if it argues that it was not notified or that it was not given the opportunity to oppose the granting of such measure.
Theoretically, the interim measure provision may represent a deterrent to the granting of interim measures in an arbitration procedure. However, in practice an arbitral tribunal has a range of arguments at its disposal that may limit or exclude its liability. It is important to interpret the interim measure provision in a way that does not affect the scope of the tribunal's decision-making powers.

Found a deal? Here's the place to share it!
It's Friday! I hope you all can enjoy some time with family and friends this holiday weekend.
Please sign in with your WRAL.com account to comment on this story. You also will need a Facebook account to comment.
I have a deal for YOU Faye.
All that LA Looks gel you were talking about BOGO at HT .... I found 75 cents off peelies on them at the Western Blvd store today. Keep your eyes open. Free hair goo. :D
I hit 3 stores today. Earth Fare for the 1 lb chicken free after $10 purchase. I purchased some trout I needed for a recipe and hadn't been able to find elsewhere, plus some Huuuuuuge lemons, also required for a recipe. I have to say, if saving money/spending less wasn't an issue, I'd shop there all the time. Beautiful food and the staff was great.
Kroger had the best deals for all the fresh veggies I needed today. Spent $7 and change for 3 medium tomatoes, 3 vidalia onions, 2 med zucchini, 1 shallot, 3/4 lb asparagus. I was happy. :)
Hit the HT for all the canned/boxed goods I needed. Plus the EVIC milk and cheese. Love the HT brand products over all other grocery stores. Spent $25, saved $15.
No coupons today because I had specific things I needed to get. And I had to get just those things. :)
The SPCA of Wake County has dropped their adoption fee to only $15 for Memorial Day weekend. A great deal for a new little loved one :)
Check out CVS $10 gas card deal when you spend $30!!!! Details on what qualifys in weekly ad
Items on the harris teeter list are not all priced correctly (went yesterday). smuckers jelly, hungry jack mix and syrup, breakstone sour cream dip, and the hot sauce ( i think???? can't remember) wasn't right so not great buys (though i bought syrup cuz we needed it now and mix came out to be just ok deal). but still saved 60% whooo hooo i did the same thing in kroger campbell and had coupons for every one of the 10 items i bought yay! i also got huggies diapers first with a coupon and got $3 to use on my second order which was the rest of the groceries lol :)
Lowe's Fresh Reward exclusive- $.68 cans of Bush's baked or grillin' beans. Combine this with the $1/2 coupon from the 5/22/11 SS and they're 18 cents a can! Limit two.
"I had a bunch of these coupons so bought several and unboxed them at home to save freezer space."
What a smart idea, kcampbell113 - I have never thought to do that!
Stopped at Krogers on MLK Blvd in Durham yesterday to pick up a few sale things and to check out the freezer $5 off 10 items. The bun length OM hotdogs were .99 so came down to .49 with $1/2 coupon. Included in the freezer sale were the Digiorno pizzas with cookies or wings. They were on sale for $5.49 so were $4.99 when buying 10 items. There were $1.25 coupons in the paper a few weeks ago making them $3.74. I had a bunch of these coupons so bought several and unboxed them at home to save freezer space. The ones with the cookies had a .55 peelie on the cookie pack. On an aisle display there were $1 coupons when buying 5 cups of instant Kraft/Velveeta mac and cheese. By the pickles there was a blinkie with a coupon for Mt. Olive pickles. The Vlassic pickles are on sale and had a .55 coupon hung around the necks of several jars - better price at HT last week with triples.
kjohnson - it's $10 before coupons, same with all their deals, and that's also true for Rite Aid, Walgreens deals that require a certain $ amount purchased. It's always before coupons :)
Quick question about the CVS deal for Suave products....Do you have to spend $10 before coupons or after coupons to get the $3ECB?

Evan Glodell is the first-time writer, director and mechanic behind the recent indie darling Bellflower, which is out this week on Blu-Ray and DVD. Bellflower is an intense drama about a young man's obsession with The Road Warrior, and how his apocalyptic fantasies lead his reaction to a particularly painful breakup. It also may be a rough-hewn revenge fantasy with some surprisingly violent conclusions, depending one whether or not you see the film's final minutes as a hallucination or not. Either way, the film is striking and confrontational. Glodell, a gearhead and tinkerer by trade, not only constructed the glorious, flame-spewing car for the film, but also constructed his own camera equipment.
I got to have a phone interview with Glodell and asked him about The Road Warrior, his personal motivations for the film, and his taste in music.
CraveOnline: How old were you when you first saw 'The Road Warrior?'
Evan Glodell: You know, I've been trying to figure that out exactly. I think I was probably in the 7th or 8th grade. I think I may have seen part of it when I was little, and then I saw it again when I was 12 or 13. That's when me and my friend Tyler [Dawson, the film's co-writer and co-star] saw it and freaked out.
It's clearly the central influence behind everything in 'Bellflower.' How big an influence does it have on your life?
I didn't really realize what an influence it had on my life until I was a bit older. I know a friend of mine had it on an old VHS, and we watched it a ton of times. And, y'know, we were stoked on it. But then I think we just ended up starting talking about the apocalypse and apocalyptic gigs and stuff like that. Which was all obviously cause by The Road Warrior, but I don't think we realized it.
When you were touring with 'Bellflower,' you would bring Mother Medusa, the star car, down to the theater and blow flames out the back. Have you done anything with the car since? Does it only go to auto shows?
No no no. It's been my only car this year! I mean, it's been my car for a while, but recently I've been driving it and using it for everything, like picking up groceries and stuff. About a month ago, we've been beating on it so much – we wanna use it to burn donuts and shoot flames and stuff – that it's been really hard on the engine. So in, like, the last month-and-a-half it's hardly been driven because it needs a little work.
I glean from the film that you're a super-gearhead. I've never been able to figure out cars (or even vacuum cleaners for that matter), so I was insanely impressed that you built all your own stuff. From what I understand, you built your own camera equipment.
If you had the opportunity to make another movie, but you didn't get to build stuff, would you still make it?
Um. Yeah, I would. I think if I had an idea that required something to be built, I don't think I'd have a problem with something big. It seems that my whole life, since I was a young adult when I started this crazy project, it went on for a really long time. And I was thinking "I wonder if I'll ever stop building stuff." But I could never stop getting stupid ideas of things I want to build that don't exist. It always seemed that that every couple of months, I'd get my tools out and find materials and build something. I am curious to see if that pattern continues. Like I'll be writing or working on a movie for a couple of months, so I'll start and project, and then I'll start to get burned out or I'll finish it, and I'll go back to writing the movie.
'Bellflower'seems to come from a very personal place. I was wondering how much of the film was autobiographical. Milly (Jesse Wiseman) is – not really vilified, but is clearly not the hero. Was this based on a real breakup?
Yeah, yeah. When I was younger, I went through a breakup that I had a really hard time dealing with. Which I think a lot of people go through.
Oh, for sure.
It's one of those things that gives you a lesson I think you need to learn. I think the bad stuff came from that feeling of things not being right with the breakup, y'know? Y'know, how bad it got. And I became fascinated with this, so I decided to make a movie about it. But it is an interesting thing, because I had sort of an epiphany about relationships a couple of years after I wrote the first version of the script. When I went back to re-write the script, I felt I was going to re-write it to be completely neutral. I was gonna write this like it was going to be the actual ending of a relationship. And as soon as I started re-working on it, I figured out that there was no story there. No feeling that my character had to go through this arc in the movie. That's what the story needed, y'know?
How did the original version, then, differ from the final version?
It's really weird. To me, in my mind, it looks like the same movie, and it feels like the same movie. They're structured very similarly. This big difference between the two – it'd embarrassing if anyone read the original – was that my character had nothing real, he was like an angel, and then for no reason, this woman was sent from Hell to destroy him. I was like "Why are you doing this to me! It's so horrible! It's so horrible!" Which is my character's mindset for the first half of the movie. But then later I put in all kinds of little mistakes and things that I sort of realize I did in my half of the relationship that play into it.
He was an angel you say?
No no. Not literally. In the old version. Meaning that when things started going bad, he would plea: "Why are you doing this to me. There's no reason for this." There was no semblance of any sense. He was just a victim. In the final version, he still had to be confused for the first half of the movie, but he had to go on a journey to get to a new place.
'Bellflower,' I guess, helped you get through that apocalyptic pain (and we've all had bad breakups, so we know what you've been through).
I'm sure I must have grown from working on the movie. Especially for so many years. But I almost felt like I had to go through the process of basically forgiving and understanding the girl before I was able to start making the movie. Just because, like… at the time when I wrote the first script – about 2003; we didn't start shooting until 2008 – the bigger part of that I had to go through on my own.
Now that you've gone through that – gotten 'Bellflower' off your chest – what other stories do you have in you?
Well, I'm working on a bunch of projects at the same time right now. I get ideas and I get excited about them, but they're all about different stuff. One of the main themes in the script I'm finishing right now is ambition. I didn't realize when I first started writing it, that because of what I went through making Bellflower – which took most of my life away; I was homeless and broke and doing nothing but trying to push this movie for years – that in itself was a particularly intense experience. And that was probably the motivation for where the next film is coming from.
Here are a few fun questions. How many crickets did you actually eat? [Glodell and his love interest meet over a cricket-eating contest.]
I only ate two. A lot of people are always laughing, especially when I'm in attendance at a screening. We did two takes. In both takes I put one cricket in my mouth, chewed it up and then spit it out. Which was fitting for my character, luckily, because I don't have the strongest stomach. Jesse did like three handfuls each take! Like big full handfuls of crickets. She must have eaten like 50 or 60.
That's amazing.
[Laughs] I have a friend who's able to eat bugs without reacting at all. For some reason it's really difficult for me.
Here's something I like to ask everyone: What was the first record you bought with your own money?
Whoa. Wait, I know the answer to this! You know what it was, I remember seeing a video of it on MTV, and it wasn't my own money, but I remember pushing my mom to buy it for me. It was Faith No More. Was it their first one? It was the one with that song "Epic" on it.
"The Real Thing."
Yes! "The Real Thing!"
I had that record when I was 12. It was one of my favorites.
I had the cassette tape, and I listened to that thing soooo much. No one's ever asked me that before!
That's am important question. I think it says a lot about your character. Anyway, thanks for talking to me today!

Home Depot Wants In, but Some Arms Aren't Open
By REGAN MORRIS
Published: August 11, 2007
A proposal to open a Home Depot is deeply dividing the mostly rural area of Sunland in northern Los Angeles, but not for the usual reasons.
Opponents say they have no quarrel with a big-box store, but they want a large general-merchandise retailer, one that sells socks, not sockets. They fear that an outpost of the giant home-supply chain will bring too much truck traffic and hurt Sunland's several hardware stores.
But Home Depot officials and supporters of the planned store argue that the objections are a smokescreen to conceal racist fears that it would attract scores of predominantly immigrant day laborers.
Ali Moderras, an expert in urban geography at the Pat Brown Institute at California State University, Los Angeles, said the Home Depot should have conducted environmental impact and traffic studies from the beginning, even though the city did not initially require the review.
''Market research is not enough any more,'' Mr. Moderras said. ''You really need the community support.
''This is a national problem. We will see more and more people waking up and objecting to some huge store popping up in their neighborhood.''
After more than 600 people attended a recent, and raucous, Los Angeles City Council meeting that quickly erupted in arguments over race and immigration status, the Council is considering whether to allow construction to proceed or to revoke the company's building permits and require an environmental impact and traffic study. A vote is expected by Aug. 17.
''It's not too often that our building permits are revoked,'' said a spokeswoman for Home Depot, Kathryn Gallagher. ''We've been working with the city from the beginning.''
Home Depot has spent more than $2 million over more than two years trying to open the store on the site of a 93,000-square-foot Kmart that closed a few years ago. Ms. Gallagher emphasized that Home Depot was committed to opening it even if the review process took another year or two.
At a more tempered Council meeting on Tuesday, several Latinos said in Spanish or halting English that they supported Home Depot because it would bring jobs to the area.
A local contractor, Jose Yglesias, told Council members to focus their attention not on Home Depot but on solving problems of crime and drug use in Sunland. Since he moved to the area 10 years ago, Mr. Yglesias said, two of his cars have been stolen and his young son brought home crystal meth.
''We have a problem in our schools,'' Mr. Yglesias said. ''There's a lot of drugs going on. There is a lot of car thieves around. Let's take care of the drugs, not Home Depot.''
Some local opponents countered that Home Depot has bused in Latinos to create the illusion of community support, while ignoring the sentiments of residents.
''They manufacture support, and they manufactured this racism thing,'' said Joe Barrett, a prop designer for feature films. ''They're trying to detract from the real story, and that is traffic and all their trucks.''
Mr. Barrett was referring to trucks delivering merchandise to the store as well as those belonging to contractors and other customers. The store is close to an elementary school and a mobile home park for the elderly.
Ms. Gallagher said the company did not pay supporters to attend Council meetings but did acknowledge that it took them to and from the meeting and furnished them with Home Depot T-shirts. The Los Angeles Daily News, on its Web site, posted a memorandum leaked from a public relations firm hired by Home Depot that detailed how more than $24,000 was spent recruiting, feeding, clothing and busing crowds from Sunland, Tujunga and ''adjacent communities'' to City Hall to express support for the planned store.
At a packed meeting of the Council planning committee meeting, the councilwoman representing Sunland, Wendy Greuel, urged her colleagues to revoke Home Depot's building permits because its construction constituted more than a remodeling of the Kmart site because a new floor, new walls and a new ceiling had been added.
The committee agreed, leading to next week's vote by the full City Council, which could require Home Depot to scale back its plans to accommodate traffic and other concerns. John Song, a Korean-American and the owner of a hardware store in Sunland, said that for him, objections to the new store had nothing to do with race.
''This is going to kill my business,'' Mr. Song said.

Nilgiri Frost, its still freezing outside here in Belgium so by name the tea is ideal!
This tea is a very fresh smelling black tea but the tea leafs in dry form are green and black mixed. The smell is more grass like then you would expect from the usually malty smelling black tea's. So i was excited to try it out!
Brewing my first cup with a teaspoon off leaf, for about 3min. The result is a bright amber light brown liquor. It tastes like no other black tea i tryed before! To me its a very light tea thats in taste is more like a floral heavy roast oolong. Very surprising to get a black tea thats so different then most others! I'm loving every sip off it especially because its overall not to expensive i paid a bit less then 10€ for a 50gram bag.
So if you want to try a fresh and a bit different black tea make sure to check this one out!
also one sidenote: just noticed that jing stocks a niligiri black without the green leaves in it, i have to try that one in the future to!

The "object" I imagine has three attributes: namespace URI, localpart, and prefix. It would unpack to two values: URI & localpart, and comparisons would only operate on those two as well. The advantage is that we get the prefix for those who want it, single object comparisons, and no extraneous parameters to the call. I don't think *this* is available using the non-object approaches. Whether the objects are extension types or classes is irrelevant to this. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> Corporation for National Research Initiatives

PHOENIX, March 22, 2001 ? Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE:Q), the broadband Internet communications company, said today it was pleased that its two-year-old Arizona rate case has been resolved by the Arizona Corporation Commission.
?We are pleased that we can now turn our full attention to the market place and prepare to re-enter the long-distance business,? said Teresa Wahlert, Qwest Vice President?Arizona. ?All customers will certainly benefit from those efforts. The real winners are our customers who will have access to a host of new product and service packages.?
The plan ? supported by the Department of Defense, the Arizona Payphone Association, the Communications Workers of America as well as the staff of the Arizona Corporation Commission ? includes numerous consumer benefits. It caps basic business and residential rates so they cannot increase for the three-year life of the proposal. It also decreases access charges ? the fees long-distance providers pay Qwest to access the local communications network ? by $5 million each year of the plan, totaling $15 million. In addition, more than 160,000 homes in the Valley ? 40,000 outside ? will benefit from a $13.8 million rate decrease.
Speaking specifically of the $15 million access charge reduction, Wahlert urged long-distance companies to pass those savings on to consumers. ?It is our hope that our competitors like AT&T will now pass along the savings we are offering them to their own customers. We will just have to wait and see if that happens.?
Current rates were set in January of 1995 following a rate case that was filed in July of 1993. The innovative new agreement establishes three basic categories ? or baskets ? for services. Basket One contains those services deemed non-competitive by the Arizona Corporation Commission such as basic telephone service. Basket Two contains services for wholesale customers. Basket Three contains services that the Commission deems to be competitive ? such as Directory Assistance.
All new Basket Three services require commission review and approval of new tariff filings. The plan also provides customers credits if Qwest fails to maintain specific standards in its Service Quality Plan.
Wahlert said, ?Lowered access charges, continuing accountability standards, lowered installation charges, all add up to a good deal for Arizonans. The commissioners are to be commended for helping us move Arizona forward and allowing Qwest to continue improving service, fulfilling the needs of customers, and positioning ourselves for entry into the long-distance market.?
Wahlert said the plan?s approval continues and strengthens Qwest?s commitment to Arizona and its investment in the state. For the past few years, Qwest has been investing approximately $2 million a day in Arizona.
The State of Arizona recently awarded Qwest a $100 million contract to construct and support high-speed local area broadband networks, providing Internet access to Arizona?s 228 public school districts, giving students the opportunity to learn school lessons through the Internet. And earlier this month, Qwest announced it would provide network services to the Phoenix Arena Development Limited Partnership, the organization that manages Bank One Ballpark and America West Arena, among other city attractions. In a separate agreement, Qwest will be provisioning bandwidth for the Arizona Department of Economic Security. Combined, the deals are worth $12.4 million.

Scott Ott is a former journalist who now does speaking engagements and edits the satire web journal Scrappleface (downright hilarious news satire site). If just come across some of his video commentaries, and I have to say he has a very Christian (if not downright Catholic) sense of his conservatism. I say this because, in large, my thinking has largely followed the same trajectory. I'm conservative not because I don't care about the poor but because I know that government intervention doesn't work. The homelessness and poverty we see now is a result of the reduced sense of responsibility that we have because of government intervention, not despite it.
When I was a liberal, my motivation was compassion and a grossly naïve understanding of how the world works. Now that I'm a conservative, I'm still motivated by compassion, but I think I have a much more realistic understanding of the world.

The Shock Doctrine
Naomi Klein attempts to redefine the economic history discovering the historical continuities and to reveal the neoliberal theory which functions via the utilization of specific "tools". The state of shock is the key for the opponents of Chicago School and Milton Friedman in order for them to establish neoliberal policies and to promote the deregulated capitalism which includes less welfare state, less public sector, less regulation, weakened labor unions, privatizations and laissez-faire. The thesis of Doctrine Shock explains how these radical policies dominated the global economy. They were not established through freedom and democratic procedures but as Naomi Klein states they needed crises, shocks and states of emergency.

Rowan University Art Gallery
Exhibit explores contradictions, hidden meaning, ideologies of language
GLASSBORO, NJ. A multi-media group exhibition examining the internal contradictions, hidden meaning and implicit ideologies of language begins the new Rowan University Art Gallery season from September 3 - October 8, 2013. A reception to welcome the exhibit is Thursday, September 12 from 5:30 – 8 pm.
"Dialogic," curated by Gallery Director Mary Salvante, includes pieces by Jenny Holzer, Glenn Ligon, Jaume Plensa, Lesley Dill, John Giorno, Keith Brand, Erik den Breejen, DataSpaceTime, Bang Geul Han, Barbara Hashimoto, Meg Hitchcock, Dawn Kramlich, Melanie McLain, Ben Pranger, Buy Shaver, Chris Vecchio and Sue White.
"How language is perceived, communicated and translated is informed by the visual qualities and symbolic power of the texts, words and poetic phrasings incorporated into the video, soundscapes, interactive tech-works, sculpture, paintings and works on paper included in this exhibition," Salvante notes.
The work by Holzer, Ligon, Shaver and Kramlich reproduce text as aphorisms, precepts and dictums to influence the thoughts and actions of the viewer. Giorno's groundbreaking Dial-A-Poem project, Brand's exterior soundscape, McLain's performative video, DataSpaceTime's QR code mural, Han's motion activated video and Vecchio's public art action and interactive works focus on the physical and aural complexities of language. The sculpture, paintings, works on paper and installations by Dill, Plensa, Hashimoto, Hitchcock, den Breejen, Pranger and White deconstruct and recontextualize language by reimagining the systems of communication found in advertising, books, Braille, poetry, Morse code and scripture.

Marisa Gerard, 41, is asking South Miami commissioners to build a pool so that her six-year-old Aaron Gerard, who has never been to a pool, can learn how to swim. The family can't afford swimming lessons so they better build it fast.
"It doesn't have to be a massive pool.....the money is there and we need to use it....it's not about the adults, it's about the children....it's diabolical not to use (our Government's) money to teach our children to swim."
Ms. Gerard, there are three YMCA facilities in South Miami. They are at: 2370 NW 17th Ave #100. Miami, 730 NW 107 Avenue, Suite 200, Miami, and at 2000 Northwest 62nd Street
Miami. You now have access to a pool and can teach your child to swim!

Washington DC - Hillary Clinton's house!
She lives at 3087 Whitehaven. Near the dead end of the block. Like every other famous "progressive" she lives in a lily white neighborhood where the only black people are either the help or Ambassadors. Hillary Clinton's backyard is a block away from the Naval Observatory and the Vice President's house. She and Biden do not share a property line. At least, not here. (Thanks to YouTuber BruceMajors)

Aboriginal Day celebrations a reminder of struggles faced by many First Nations people
Watch above: National Aboriginal Day is an opportunity for First Nations, Metis and Inuit to celebrate their culture. In Edmonton Saturday, thousands of people took part in the festivities. But as Eric Szeto reports, it was also a reminder of the many struggles faced by aboriginal people in Canada.
EDMONTON – National Aboriginal Day was celebrated in Edmonton's Churchill Square Saturday, but it also served as a reminder of the struggles faced by many of Canada's Indigenous people.
The day began with a vibrant celebration honouring the culture, language and history of Canada's aboriginal people.
Bernadette Iahtail with the Creating Hope Society says it's important to acknowledge and celebrate the lives of all First Nations people.
"Thirty years ago you wouldn't see this. People speaking their language… walking around with our regalia, you wouldn't see this unless it was hidden," she said. "Having a pipe ceremony in the open 100 years ago, we couldn't. That was banished.
"Everything that we've gone through, we're very resilient, very strong."
There was a bit of a sombre mood in the square, though; across the square dozens of people gathered to walk for 26-year-old Shelly Tanis Dene, a mother who was last seen in April 2013.
"Every day I wake up with Shelly in my thoughts and prayers and she's always in my heart," said Candice Lhommecourt. "I can't really think negative about the situation because it's really going to get me nowhere."

According to an RCMP report released in May, a disproportionate number of female homicide victims in Canada are aboriginal.
Aboriginal women represent only 4.3 per cent of the total female population, yet 16 per cent of all female homicide victims are aboriginal.
The RCMP review looked at cases from 1980 to 2013 and found 1,181 aboriginal women fell into the missing or murdered category – almost double earlier estimates.

Kari Thomason with the Metis Child & Family Services Society says it's incredibly important not to forget the missing and murdered.
"We are worthy people. We can't be forgotten and we can't forget them. We need to be able to move forward and put some solution in here and resolve a lot of this."
But it's events like Saturday's that give people like Iahtail hope.
"An elder always told me, 'If you can help one person, that ripple effect of one person will help somebody else, will help somebody else.'"

A few days ago I popped into a Kmart store in New York City to check out what was new (and to cool off from the exhausting heat). I found some of the most agreeable fashions near the entrance from Route 66. This brand is targeted towards teens, but there were a lot of cute tees, tanks, shorts, jeans and pants priced under $20 that anyone could work into their wardrobe. I liked a striped neutral tank with neon lace detailing and a dark-denim jean jacket, a great wardrobe staple. Moving on, I saw some cute blouses, skirts and dresses from the Attention and Apostophe lines. I really wanted to buy some printed shorts and a colorful romper (you see them so often in the city, it's kinda contagious) but I had an event to attend and I didn't want to show up with an armful of shopping bags. Next time! Click through for more photos. Anything catch your eye?

3G Protocol Flaws Allow Hackers to Affordably Track Your Every Move

Flaws can be fixed easily and affordably, say authors of paper
Anonymity, privacy -- these are things we have come to expect when it comes to our cell phones. The last thing people anticipate is for unknown -- possibly malicious -- third parties to able to quickly track our positions every time we place a phone call.
I. Exploiting the 3G Protocol to Track
But that's precisely what security researchers at the
University of Birmingham
(located in the central UK) are
preparing to show off
at the
ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security
conference in Raleigh, N.C. next week. The demonstrated proof-of-concept attack will no doubt add to the aging
3G communication standard's security woes
The researchers simulated an attacking using affordable off-the-shelf components --
a rooted femtocell
(which broadcast 3G signals) and other affordable components.

They then conducted two attacks geared at tracking the victim's position. The attacks were conducted in Europe on a number of real-world networks, across various carriers.
The researchers used a so-called "paging attack" -- a denial-of-service (DOS) type attack that involves tricking basestations or mobile devices into an always "ready" state. By sending a TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity) which appeared to
contain a static IMSI
(International Mobile Subscriber Identity), the attacker tricked the victim device into giving up its real IMSI.
That in turn allowed the target to be continuously tracked within a monitored region.
A second route to monitoring was also demonstrated, which used an Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) protocol attack. The target device returns a Mac error, while the rest of the devices would respond with a different error -- a synchronization error.
The authors write, "The captured authentication request can now be replayed by the adversary each time he wants to check the presence of [a device] in a particular area. In fact, thanks to the error messages, the adversary can distinguish any mobile station from the one the authentication request was originally sent to."
The caveat here is that the attackers first had to indentify example authentication requests by calling the victim's device. But they argue that the flaw could still be abused in certain scenarios, such as if a boss wanted to track employees in a large office building.
The researchers elaborate, "[The employer] would first use the femtocell to sniff a valid authentication request. This could happen in a different area than the monitored one. Then the employer would position the device near the entrance of the building. Movements inside the building could be tracked as well by placing additional devices to cover different areas of the building. If devices with wider area coverage than a femtocell are used, the adversary should use triangulation to obtain finer position data."
II. Fixing the Flaws
So what does all of this mean?? 3G networks -- any 3G network, according to the authors -- are vulnerable to tampering which allows their users to be tracked, due to protocol weaknesses.
The IMSI paging attack flaw seems to be the more dangerous attack as it can be used to track anonymous victims.
Researchers say the flaw can easily be fixed. [Image Source: North Miami Beach FL]
Fortunately, there's a fix to both problems. The fix is to both modify the error messages, and adopt certain protocol changes. Those changes would involve introducing a so-called "unlikability" session key to weed out malicious AKA requests, and to implement IMSI paging procedure fixes to prevent the DOS trickery.
The 3G mobile industry's security watchdog,
, is investigating the proof-of-concept attacks and is considering the proposed fixes, which the authors argue would have a "low... computational and economical cost". Those fixes could (in theory) be rolled out in coming months to prevent attackers from exploiting "in the wild" the soon-to-be-published flaw.

I've just listed 225 of my comics for sale on Ebay. I'm getting ready to move in with my girl friend and there just isn't the room!
/me cries
She better be the one! That''s a lot to give up.
- Elysium
She better be the one! That''s a lot to give up.
No kidding. Have you considered a sm heated storage unit? You can get a small one usually for a pretty decent monthly price, and use it for other stuff besides just the comics. Good luck either way.
Question is, how much are some of these comics worth?
I know exactly how you feel Ulairi, my gf wants me to only take 10 of all my gaming boxes with me. There''s just not enough room for more. Makes me sad every second I think about it.
That''s harsh, man.

The league is split into two divisions this year to break up the Sierra Canyon/Paraclete dominance at the top … Sierra Canyon plays its toughest nonleague schedule in school history with games against San Fernando and Taft … Paraclete has 16 starters back … Viewpoint is the team to watch with several experienced playmakers. The Patriots have already played two games in Alaska to start the season … Brentwood has speed and young talent but no depth … Windward just needs to stay injury free and could surprise … Campbell Hall is back after not playing a varsity schedule last year. The Vikings feature actor James Caan's two sons.

Linda Farrow opens its first store in Hong Kong
What does carrying on your mother's legacy mean to you? How does it drive the direction of the brand?
It means everything, she is the fulcrum of the brand setting in place our DNA and brand persona. We are so lucky to have that and a platform to build the brand on.
How do you maintain the original DNA of the brand that your mother started while keeping the designs and feel of the brand fresh?
It's easy. We do not harp on our heritage. We have it, but my mother's vision was fashion and being progressive. We are always looking forward and trying to create something new. We think "The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence".
I understand that you are quite hands on with the brand. Can you tell me a bit about your creative process?
It's hard to explain in a formatted way. I'm quite ad hoc in my approach. I guess I start with the character and the season setting. Linda Farrow is our character, and we create a mood around her as in a place, a colour palette, everything really – it can be abstract or literal. We pull all this together to create a vision and a setting around Linda Farrow and then the scene is set. We can create from there. And when I say create, I feel that the essence is so clear we could create anything to sit within the world we have created.
You have collaborated with many successful designers. How do you select them?
Three clear factors. One, we must love their work. If we are fans of their work, then we can do this with integrity. Two, they have something unique. We will not create generic products for the sake of it. Our clients are too smart to be passed off with lazy designs. Three, we must connect and have a good relationship with the designers. Life is too short to work with people you do not get along with. Also if there is no connection the creativity does not flow.
What do you like about Hong Kong and why did you decide to enter the Hong Kong market with a shop at ifc?
I love Hong Kong, it's a home from home for me. I have a number of good friends there so there is never a slow moment. There's great shopping and food. But I think for me it's the energy. There is an energy that you feel anything can be achieved. It talks to my soul. I'm a man of action and like to get things done. Hong Kong is a place where things happen.
The 18K collection essentially blends jewellery with sunglasses. Can you tell me more about how you came up with it?
It's Linda Farrow in essence, as we always strive to push boundaries in creativity and quality. So for a luxury brand this is the finest of materials that can be used, so we are using them. What else would you expect from Linda Farrow?
