Goya's drawings: Album of the year
You are correct to identify "the rise of open source software" as a trend which threatens large, proprietary software vendors. In your discussion of the positive aspects of open source software, you fail to mention the fundamental reason why the open source mindset is so powerful:
An individual software user need not understand the details of how their operating system is put together, but the fact that the source code is freely available means that programmers who have the skills to review the code line by line also have the opportunity to do so. It keeps the
larger community of open source programmers honest and accountable for the code that they produce.
People should be glad for the open source software movement, and do what they can to support it and usher the same ideals into politics and government as quickly as possible.

Parkway Little League, Saint Paul, Minnesota: Welcome
The road to the Little League World Series begins at Parkway!
There is only one way to get to the Little League World Series. That is by playing in an officially sanctioned Little League Organization.
Come be a part of genuine Little League Baseball for the 2015 season as we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Parkway Little League!!
On June 6, 1955 a young batter stepped up and the first ball ever pitched in a Parkway Little League game headed toward the plate. There is no record of whether or not it was a strike, but either way it was a historic moment for the Dayton's Bluff community. For 60 years, the men, women and children of the area have chipped in their time and money and have grown a voluntary organization with few rivals in the metro area.
For more information on Little league baseball go to www.littleleague.org
For comments or questions on this website please contact email@example.com
Follow us on Twitter: @parkwayLL
Parkway Has Openings for Important Positions....
If interested in joining the Board, Meetings are the 3rd Thursday of every month, Please contact Jon Weber at firstname.lastname@example.com
Please Check back often for updates on new policies
These include but not limited to:
February Registration Dates:
2015 Registration Hosted at:
St. Pascals 1757 Conway St., St. Paul 55106
(corner of White Bear and 3rd St. Park in West lot, Use door 4)
Thurs. Feb. 19th 6-8pm
Sat. Feb. 21st 12-4pm
Thurs. Feb. 26th 6-8pm
Sat. Feb. 28th 12-4pm
change on volunteer check policies:
Because of mistakes and confusion in returning some peoples Volunteer Checks (and some being cashed by mistake) Parkway will now be Cashing ALL volunteer checks at the beginning of the season. The only exception to this is the Coaches and Managers checks will be held and returned when the Equiptment bag is returned at the end of the season.
The Volunteer Fee for 2015 is $125. The Volunteer hours are still 12 hours but (4) hrs must be during tournaments!
Please remember Parkway is run completely by Volunteers, it is not our intent for Parkway to keep the volunteer fee, it is to help encourage you to volunteer. Please remember many of the current Board Members do not have players at Parkway, yet still volunteer many hours for the players and Parkway!
After the Volunteer hours are completed (and signed off) the Volunteer will leave a self addressed stamped envelope at the concession stand. Parkway will then issue a check back to the volunteer(s). Please remember if the volunteer fee is made up between multiple people, that is how it will be paid back and all parties involved will need to fill out an envelope. Please remember the the player and level MUST be on checks.
This will hopefully correct any mistakes from last year and get your volunteer fees back sooner!
Stay ahead of the weather this spring with the new Little League Weatherbug App for IOS and Android
Until further notice, All games are to go on as scheduled,
If there is a chance of rain or storms the determination will be made at the fields near game time. If it has been raining or storming all day the decision may be made earlier and will be posted to the website, Facebook and Parkway voicemail.
All teams are to show up and be ready to play. If one team does not have enough players, and the other team is there and ready, then the team that is short players will forfeit. If both teams have enough players, the game may be moved back or rescheduled to a later date.

n "Emotional Intelligence: Why You Need it, and Why it's Imperative to Your Success as a PM," Kevin investigates the latest research on emotional intelligence and offers methods for incorporating techniques that will allow project managers and leaders at all levels to become more aware of their own emotional patterns, and to create more resourceful and effective responses to the challenges of project management
We've all been there. In this presentation from the PMI Global Congress 2014 in Phoenix, we give you a refresher on strong forms of communication--and offer four case studies to share valuable lessons learned.
Do you need to study how to communicate in preparation for the PMP exam? Really? With only three PMI processes based around the function that every project manager does every day of their life, it may feel that studying this chapter in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)—Fifth Edition is a waste of effort. Not so fast...
Technology is revolutionizing how we work--and it's not just Big Data. Here are the five technology trends that will influence how you manage projects in the years to come.
As our profession rapidly expands beyond the borders of the United States and Europe, we will see further advancements and promising developments in the science and art of project management. This writer expects the trends of globalization, commoditization and professionalization to continue. As experienced project managers, we must examine these trends--and seize the opportunities that they present.
Telecommuting has been called the future of work, even for program and project managers. Like it or not, we had all better prepare for this as it is highly likely that within the next few years, it will impact all of us.
Regardless of whether it's a holiday, celebration, moment of reflection, corporate event or some other occasion, the reason to have a party should be one where attendees should make an effort to create an atmosphere of collaborative enjoyment.

Economic and demographic trends are requiring project managers to prioritize certain workforce management skills to avoid replacing workers during the project. Make sure you understand these four relevant trends to help you avoid problems.
The future is a blank canvas, but trends today--in automation, aging populations and the fundamental interconnection of people and things--point to outcomes being possible, some say even likely. Here are three trends we are likely to see over the next two decades.
Some say leaders are born, not made. Perhaps, but teams are not born so therefore have to be made. But more often than not, project managers don't get to choose their team or team members. Given this reality, how do we make the most of our teaming opportunities? This paper offers ideas on the dynamics of effective teams and team building, focusing on the characteristics of successful teams.
The adage "A picture is worth a thousand words" is one that can aptly be put to the test when attempting to convey technical complexities and nuances. Communicating these issues through visual means can increase the perception and appreciation of the challenges and rewards that a project can bring.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 29, 2013 |
Fort Smith, Arkansas - Conner Eldridge, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced today that John Marc Ryan, age 51 of Mena, Arkansas, was sentenced today to 10 years in prison without the possibility of parole for downloading and possessing child pornography. Chief United States District Judge P. K. Holmes III, who presided over the sentencing in Fort Smith, also ordered Ryan to 15 years of supervision by the U.S. Probation Office after his release from prison.
United States Attorney Eldridge commented, "Each sentence for child pornography offenses translates into greater safety for our children. In this case, the sheer number of images is shocking, since each image represents the victimization of a child. These cases are horrendous, and we will continue to prosecute them."
According to court documents, in May 2011, an individual contacted the Mena Police Department and reported that a computer that was purchased from Ryan contained images of suspected child pornography. The resulting investigation confirmed that the computer did in fact contain images of child pornography. Based on this information, the Mena Police Department conducted an interview with Ryan, who ultimately confessed to downloading and possessing child pornography. After the interview, a search warrant was executed at Ryan's home in Mena. At his residence, law enforcement located an additional computer, an external hard drive, and numerous digital storage devices. These items were subsequently forensically examined by the Arkansas State Crime Lab and revealed additional images of children engaged in sexual conduct. On September 19, 2012, Ryan pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges. At sentencing, Chief United States District Judge Holmes was presented evidence by the government that, in total, Ryan had over 16,000 still images and 100 different videos of child pornography on the numerous devices seized by law enforcement.
This case was investigated by the Mena Police Department and the United States Secret Service. Assistant United States Attorney Dustin Roberts prosecuted the case for the United States.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006, by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and their Criminal Division Child Exploitation and Obscenity Sections (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.

Compagnie Générale De Géophysique – Veritas Announces The Launch Of A €414 Million Rights Offering
Regulatory News:
Compagnie Générale de Géophysique - Veritas (Paris: GA) (NYSE:CGV) (CGGVeritas) announced on 24 September 2012 that it had entered into an agreement with the Dutch group Fugro to acquire the businesses of its Geoscience division (excluding multi-clients library and OBN businesses) (the " Geoscience Division") for a price of 1.2 billion euros and establish a joint venture specialising in ocean bottom seismic data acquisition (the " Seabed Joint Venture"). To fund such acquisition, CGGVeritas launches today a capital increase via an offering of preferential subscription rights to existing shareholders for a gross amount of approximately €414 million. 1
The net proceeds of the issuance will be used to pay a portion of the acquisition price for the Geoscience Division (the " Acquisition"). The remainder of the Acquisition price will be (i) paid by way of set-off of €225 million from Fugro representing the excess value of CGGVeritas contribution to the Seabed Joint Venture and (ii) paid with the proceeds of debt financing, in the form of convertible or non-convertible bond issuances and/or bank loans (CGGVeritas benefits from a bridge credit facility commitment of up to €700 million).
The completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain customary conditions precedent for this type of transaction, in particular the approval of competition authorities, and the signing of the agreement establishing the Seabed Joint Venture.
If the Acquisition is not achieved, in particular if the relevant conditions precedent are not satisfied, the net proceeds of the issue will be allocated to the repayment of the Group's existing debt. Commenting on this transaction, Mr. Jean-Georges Malcor, Chief Executive Officer, noted: " The acquisition of Fugro's Geosciences Division and the establishment of long-term strategic partnerships with Fugro will allow us to occupy a leading position in the Geosciences market while simultaneously reinforcing our core activities. With a more resilient position and an integrated offering of high quality products and services, we will accelerate profitable growth and thereby create shareholder value.

Italian court upholds murder conviction against Amanda Knox
An appeals court in Florence has upheld the guilty verdict against U.S. student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend for the 2007 murder of her British roommate. Knox was sentenced to 28 1/2 years in prison, raising the specter of a long legal battle over her extradition.

Amanda Knox is seen on the set of ABC's "Good Morning America", Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, in New York. Knox said Friday in an interview with Robin Roberts that she will fight the reinstated guilty verdict against her and an ex-boyfriend in the 2007 slaying of a British roommate in Italy and vowed to "never go willingly" to face her fate in that country's judicial system.

Death Scene - The OutsiderOn a chilly Saturday night, I rounded the corner to see five boys suddenly stop. Sirens Sounded! I looked up to see lights flashing violently behind a guy. The guy was running as fast as his legs would carry him across the lot. He stopped under a bright street light. The tires of the police cars screeched to a stop in the center of the lot. The guy under the streetlight turned to face the police cars taking out a black object."Oh no, it's a gun!" I thought.Slamming their doors, the police got out and help up shiny black guns in their hands. I turned to see what the boys were doing. The shortest of the group was shaking his head. I felt sorry for him. The police pulled their triggers. Bullets sliced through the silent night as loud as thunder. When the bullets struck him, he was truned around. I could see a smile of triumph on his face."He must have wanted this, and he surely got what he wanted." I thought numbly.He was dead before he hit the ground because I saw his eyes turn glaze

The Winnetka Alliance for Early Childhood began this event to encourage families to turn off the television and all devices with screens, including computer, video games and cellphones for a whole week and explore other options. On March 2, kids 2-5 have Story Time in the Lenhardt Library (10-11 a.m.). Then on March 4 and 6, free drop-in activities for kids with an adult will take place (9 to 11 a.m.). www.theallianceforec.org/screenbreak.php
Feb. 5: Enjoy a mix of contemporary and unique dance presentations by local Chicago youth from Mayfair Academy. March 5: Join Hubbard Street Youth Ensemble & Hubbard Street Choreo Lab for an engaging dance experience all about getting you moving.
A variety of lively activities that are good for every "body."
This special exhibit features water birds including the duck, goose, merganser, grebe, heron and cormorant. View taxidermy bird mounts, play in a pretend pond, see how youmeasure up to a heron wingspan, learn about bird beaks and feet and more.
An interactive installation for all ages celebrating the art of puppetry. Puppets! will include unique performances, puppet-making workshops, and the opportunity for visitors to visit the Ryan Education Center to interact and explore creativity through puppets. Inspiration for these fantastical and imaginative puppet creations are drawn from works in the Art Institute's collection, including the drawing The Temptation of St. Anthony, the centerpiece of this winter's special exhibition, Temptation: The Demons of James Ensor. Puppeteers of all ages can experiment with ways to develop stories and use sound effects and props in order to create playful, one-of-a-kind performances. In conjunction with Puppets!, the museum will present a series of film screenings including Jim Henson's beloved movie The Dark Crystal in Fullerton Hall at 6 p.m. Jan. 15.
Kids work out their bodies and their brains in this new exhibit that provides an active play opportunity for kids. Kids can climb, crawl, jump, balance and bend when they build an ultimate playspace out of large, movable components, and scamper across the wavy net climber.
Exhibit puts an innovative spin on classic building blocks by letting children explore and interact with ten different varieties of blocks in a single space. Stations in the exhibit include Shadow Boxing: kids can build structures and cast shadows using directional lights; It's all Looking Up!: kids can examine building on vertical and horizontal planes; Build It, Test It, Shake It: kids can build and test the strength of their structures by using weights to see if they can withstand a downward force; Free for All: Several zones will be set up with surfaces at varied heights and props such as toy animals, people, fabric, cars, balls, faux plants and trees, where children can use their creativity while focusing on STEAM concepts.
Exhibit takes visitors on a journey of discovery that shows how Elmhurst has changed and grown over the past 165 years. The second floor gallery will be transformed into an innovative exhibit that tells the story of Elmhurst from its earliest days to the present. Visitors will enjoy displays that combine artifacts with the latest in museum technology. Includes a large-scale photograph of York Street in the 1920s that comes to life, an interactive table-top map that allows time travel through the city, kinetic-type graphics and touch screen displays, and a mini-theatre experience showcasing Elmhurst's people and places.
Visitors can climb a kapok tree, explore a gorilla's nest, and meet virtual rainforest scientists. The exhibit will allow museum goers to explore tropical rainforests around the world, learn about the challenges these delicate ecosystems face, and find ways to help make a difference. Starting March 5, the museum will introduce five new species of live animals for guests to interact with to highlight the second-half of Rainforest Adventure's extended run.
Features 2,200 square-feet of interactive learning centers right out of the pages of well-known fairytales. Hands-on elements will immerse children in fantasy stories and promote literacy by fostering a love of books, reading and storytelling. A key element of the exhibit focuses on imagination and role playing, which helps children learn about people and events on other sides of the world and ponder the future. Activities include woodworking in Geppetto's workshop, climbing up Rapunzel's tower, building houses with the three little pigs, mining for diamonds with Snow White's dwarves, creating Hansel and Gretel's candy house, and sitting in Cinderella's carriage. The exhibit also highlights the morals and lessons of each story.

In this hands-on course, James Williamson demonstrates the concepts that form the foundation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), including styling text, adding margins and padding, and controlling how images display. The course also explores the tools needed to work with CSS, the differences between embedded and external styles, how to use selectors to target elements, and what to do when styles conflict.
As CSS continues to evolve, the capabilities we have around controlling elements styling continues to grow. In the case of backgrounds, recent enhancements have made it possible to now apply more than one background image to an element. Let's take a look at how that works. Now I've opened up the multiple.htm file, and you can find that in the 05_11 folder. I just want to preview this in our browser first to kind of show you what we're looking at here. So we've got these two banners and we've got some text over at the top of the banners that doesn't look all that good, so we're going to fix that in just a little bit.
What if, for example, you had a list of galleries like this, and then every now and then you wanted to let people know whether there was a new gallery on the page or whether one of the galleries was a Featured Gallery. Often time you'll use little icons or ribbons or banners to do that. So I'm going to bring up a couple of graphics here that I've created just for that purposes. I've created a little ribbon here for the Featured Gallery. This is a transparent png file, and then I have this little transparent badge that says New, so when something is a new gallery, so these are the images that we're going to use. Now the wonderful thing about being able to use multiple background images on an element means that I can basically mix and match these images and I can just go ahead and say okay, not only I do want this banner as a background image, but I also want to place this ribbon on top of it as well, and that prevents me from having to make so many different versions of this banner graphic, for example.
I can just keep that image and then just put stuff on top of it when I need it. So this is a really functional capability. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to my code here and you can see we have a div with the class of banner1 and banner2, we have our text inside that and we just have some pre- existing styles for our background images that are very similar to what we've been working with in the past few exercises. So how you do multiple backgrounds? You use a comma separated list on all of the properties that you want to apply this to. So, for example, our first banner graphic, I'm just going to come in here and say, URL and then open up a parentheses and then inside that I'm going to say, (_images/featured.png), close my parentheses, and then and this is extremely important, I am going to do a comma.
So essentially you have a comma separated list of multiple images that you want to use. As far as white space goes, it doesn't really matter. If you want to make this more readable for yourself, you can add a white space there or not. What is important is the comma, without the comma this does not work, so make sure that comma is there. And the stacking order matters as well. The last image in the list will be at the bottom of the stacking layers and then the first image in the list will be at the top. So make sure that the image that you want to have on the pop of everything is the first one mentioned.
For your other properties you can go ahead and pass in multiple values as well. I want both of these to not repeat, so I don't really need to worry about adding another one to this one, I could if I wanted to but it's really kind of overkill. If there's no comma separated list here, then the same value will be applied to both of these. Now on the other hand for background position, I don't want this left top, so what I'm going to do is again right in front of left-top, I'm going to go ahead and type in (0 25pixels) and then a comma, so that'll be positioning it horizontally at zero, so right it begins at the left edge and then 25pixels down, whereas the banner is still going to be positioned left-top.
And if I save this and preview this again, you can see right there our Featured Gallery just comes right in, isn't that not cool? That is really neat, our Ribbons are just coming in and it's positioning itself exactly where I want it. What I'm going to do is I want to move the text down below the image, and I'm going to put a background color back there and position it so that it sort of looks like it's a caption of our image. Now in order to do that we have to keep in mind that this is one big element, the text and the image belong to the same element, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go up here to our div tag and I'm just going to change some of these values.
The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to push the text down by using padding. So I'm going to do padding, and we do padding of 175px, now why did I choose that that value? Because 175px is how tall the image is, so it's just going to push the text down. Padding will allow the image to still show, but it's going to push the content down, so (175px 00 15px). So what that is 0px for right at bottom, 15px for left. Now I have to go up here and modify these guys a little bit too.
The width of this, for example, I'm going to take down to 470, and that's going to compensate for this left padding that I applied. I'm going to change the height to 40px? Now why 40px? Because 40px is actually the height of the box that I want to text to wrap around. Now I know that sometimes it's hard to get your mind wrapped around, but I'm giving 135px worth of padding up top to give the room for the image, and then I still have 40px worth of height, remember, they're cumulative for the text. I'm also going to go ahead and do a line -height here of 40px as well, save that and preview it, and it's doing exactly what I wanted to do with my text, so just got that out of the way.
And I want to go down to banner2 and play around a little bit with that as well. So here in banner2 I'm going to add another image, I'm just going to do some copying and pasting here. So I'm going to do copy, paste of your URL, remember my comma, and then instead of Featured, I'm going to change that to new.png. And again, instead of the left top, this one is going to be positioned at (right top,) So if I save that and test it, my new badge shows up in the top-right-hand corner exactly where I wanted to be.
And you can play around little bit with those settings, you're not limited to two, if I wanted to, I could come up and grab this little guy and paste him in banner1, another comma to separate them, and again, I can do top-right here as well, and another comma. So as long as you're passing in values for each one of these or passing a single value if you wanted to apply to all of them, you're really in good shape. If I save this and test it, you can see that now that shows up there as well. So you can just go ahead and throw in as many of those as you want.
It won't take you long to kind of think about this little bit and realize just how powerful that is. I mean it gives you an incredible amount of freedom in creating a page's visual design. Both of these elements right here are a single element, they are one div tag with text inside of it, but look at all of the layering and all the really cool effects that we are doing here to these multiple background images. I need to mention that support for multiple backgrounds is fairly widespread in most browsers, except for Internet Explorer. Prior to IE 9, multiple backgrounds were not supported, so you if you're going to use these, you still probably will need to have a strategy for dealing with earlier versions of Internet Explorer.

To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
I wouldn't bet on people buying into that. For some reason a lot of Hawkeye fans go crazy when talking about Tom Ryan.
Other than Cael there really isn't anyone in the sport (that I can think of off hand) that provokes as strong a negative reaction from many of them.

I like and respect the heck out of both coaches, but it's painful to watch a dual with the both of them because of all the complaining and bitching to refs.
When RYAN was arguing during the screwing of Zeerip i was kinda shocked -there is a huge difference between standing up for your kids than arguing a BS call.
You know, I think I would rather be a man than a god . We don't need anyone to believe in us. We just keep going anyhow. It's what we do.
DSCH: a Soviet artist's reply to unjust criticism.
Everyone knows I'm a Buckeye homer. But I am not even naive enough to think Ryan was trying to say that the ref should have given a reversal or the escape and takedown. He was arguing for his team, not what should have been the right call. I don't think his argument influenced the refs because they seemed clueless at that point. But I have to agree that arguing it in the first place was a bit ridiculous. I read some who said they were there and he was arguing that a whistle blew after the escape but before the takedown. Didn't happen. But if it did, then time should have been put back on the clock. It wasn't. He had no argument at all. I simply chalk it up to karma because NO ONE LIKES MICHIGAN. But we both know it was the wrong call and Ryan had no argument at all. I think it's best to just sit back and take this one. It worked out for us and Heflin.
I've thought tOSU has been protecting seeds for a little while now, especially with Heflin.

I wanted to apologize for not writing much sense lately. Guess I'm just waiting for things to brighten up. Sometimes it does make me wonder though -- what am I waiting for? This life that we're living might be THE life god wanted me to live. So, I wanna live it everyday without any hopes or expectations in the future.

Hey all! It's been a while since I wrote something here. Yeah, I know I keep shifting between wordpress and blogger but I missed this template real badly so I just shifted back. There's something weird about this template! It gives me the feel to blog while the others don't. Anyway, enough about templates :|
under: Ana-Log, Life-In-General
It's 2011 right? The year has worn new clothes. So should this blog, right? But iThoughts has been painfully taking a lot of time in fitting into an outfit that really suits it. I've spent hours and hours on this and I must say that it's an interesting task. Bring on the templates and my mind goes ''whoosh!''. I've been spending way too much time on choosing an attractive template rather than focusing more on the content which is totally blank btw. Yeah, sad crap counts as blank!
under: FunToast
A very happy new year to all of you. When I say all, I mean the few number of closed ones and a lot of strangers visiting this site.
Last year has been on and off for me. It has been a weirdly changing wave in my life. I experienced the best and the worst. Never explored life like the way I did it last year. Frankly, I learned a lot.
Right now the few most important things in my life that I want to do or rather focus on -
- the people I love - my parents, my best friends and myself (yes! Is that surprising?)
- be positive and pray for better things
- focus on my health (I really have to do this)
- never let the negative in me spread around because it brings down people who are close to me
- Start earning - Yeah, I have to. :(
- Not kill the ''hope'' in me that everything happens for a reason. For the better or worse? Let god decide.
Seeyah till I come up with more stuff.

SeeUnity Slices To Provide 24-7 Mobile Access To Enterprise Content
Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SeeUnity is announcing the immediate availability of SeeUnity Slices, the mobile app for synchronizing content between enterprise content management (ECM) systems and Apple iPad tablets. Slices pulls content down from the ECM server for offline tablet access. Once back online, new and updated content can be synced from the server.
Slices users can access their enterprise content anytime, anywhere – even without network connectivity. Administrators use a server application to create groups ECM objects, or "slices." Slice objects can federate content from one or many ECM repositories. Each slice offers users a targeted collection of enterprise content that can be accessed offline – anytime, anywhere.
"Slices is an attractive alternative to other mobile ECM clients on the market," said Brant Henne, Marketing Director at SeeUnity. "Most ECM client apps require ongoing network access. Slices users can interact with synced content without network connectivity, for true on-demand mobility. It's a great option for traveling and remote users who need to access high-volume content while in the field."s
Slices features include:
- "Slice" objects mirror entire ECM hierarchies, or select objects
- Viewed documents in master-detail, full screen, or external apps
- Support for panning, zoom, sorting and filtering
- User favorites provide one-touch access to important content
- Documents can be sent as e-mail attachments.
- Synchronization support for native and proprietary ECM objects (e.g. Workspaces, Dynamic Views, Cabinets, etc.)
- Incremental synchronization only updates changed content
- Connect via HTTP or HTTPS
- Downloaded data are secured with built-in hardware encryption

That which can never be forgotten

Just ideas—or disaster—will triumph
If today it is possible to prolong life, health and the productive time of persons, if it is perfectly possible to plan the development of the population in accordance with growing productivity, culture and development of human values, what are they waiting for to do so?… | more |
The best friend the Cuban people have had throughout their history died on the afternoon of March 5. A call via satellite communicated the bitter news. The significance of the phrase used was unmistakable. Although we were aware of the critical state of his health, the news hit us hard. I recalled the times he joked with me, saying that when both of us had […]… | more |
Faces of Latin America, 4th Edition (revised)
Widely considered to be the best available introduction in English to the economies, politics, demography, social structures, environment and cultures of Latin America. This new edition is thoroughly updated and covers recent developments in Latin America such as the growing costs of export agriculture, the rise of Brazilian manufacturing, connections between the war on drugs and the war on terror, the social costs of neoliberalism, the Argentinian default, the search for new economic models in Venezuela and elsewhere, the decline in direct U.S. military intervention in the region, growing urbanization, urban poverty and casual employment, outmigration and the importance of family remittances from abroad, rampant environmental destruction, the struggles of indigenous movements, and more.… | more |
"Fidel Castro is dying" by Fidel Castro
In the following message, Fidel Castro ridicules the most recent "Fidel Castro is dying" lies of the global imperialist media. He also explains his decision to cease publishing his "Reflections" – a modest assessment that there are other more important matters to occupy the Cuban press. Nonetheless, monthlyreview.org shall maintain the complete "Reflections" blog as an historically unparalleled instance of honest comment on world events as they occurred, by the leading political figure of our time.… | more |
Some days ago, on May 28, the violent battle waged at El Uvero was commemorated with well deserved references. An elemental duty forces me to clarify the facts. During those weeks, Manuel Piñeiro, "Red Beard", as the leopard, who never changes its spots, as the saying goes, managed to send to Santiago de Cuba a […]… | more |
The most demolishing article I have seen nowadays about Latin America was written by Renán Vega Cantor, full professor at the National Pedagogical University of Bogotá, which was published three days ago by the website 'Rebelión' under the title "Ecos de la Cumbre de las Américas" (Echoes of the Summit of the Americas). It is […]… | more |
President Chávez presented his annual report on activities carried out in 2011 and his program for 2012 to the Venezuelan Parliament.

CUBA was forced to fight for its existence facing an expansionist power, located a few miles from its coast, and which was proclaiming the annexation of our island, which was destined to fall into its lap like a ripe fruit. We were condemned not to exist as a nation. Within the glorious legions of patriots […]… | more |
The Best President for the United States
A well-known European news agency yesterday published from Sydney, Australia that a group of Australian researchers at the University of New South Wales announced the creation of an electrical cable ten thousand times thinner than a strand of hair, capable of carrying as much electricity as a traditional copper cable. Bent Weber, lead author of […]… | more |
The overwhelming victory of Daniel and the FSLN
ON Sunday, November 6, 72 hours ago, there was a general election in which Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega and the FSLN won an overwhelming victory. Perhaps by chance, the following day was the 94th anniversary of the glorious Soviet Socialist Revolution. Indelible pages of history were written by Russian workers, peasants and soldiers, and the name […]… | more |

NATO's Genocidal Role (Part 3)
ON February 23, under the title "Cynicism's danse macabre," I stated: "The politics of plunder imposed by the United States and its NATO allies in the Middle East is in crisis." "Thanks to Sadat's betrayal at Camp David, the Palestinian Arab State has not come into existence, despite the United Nations agreements of November 1947, […]… | more |
NATO's Genocidal Role (Part 2)
A little over eight months ago, on February 21st of this year, I stated with complete conviction: "The NATO plan is to occupy Libya". With that title I dealt with the subject for the first time in a Reflection whose content seemed to be the product of a fantasy. I include in these lines the […]… | more |
NATO's Genocidal Role (Part 1)
That brutal military alliance has become the most perfidious instrument of repression known in the history of humankind. NATO took on that global repressive role as soon as the USSR, which had served the United States as an excuse for its creation, ceased to exist. Its criminal purpose became obvious in Serbia, a Slavic country, […]… | more |
Yesterday I spoke about the time when Venezuela was an ally of the US empire and the country where Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch carried out their plans for the brutal in-flight bombing of a Cuban plane that caused the death and disappearance of all people aboard, including the youth fencing team that had just […]… | more |
A will of iron (Part 2) WHEN, in 1976, the most serious terrorist acts were committed against Cuba, in particular the in-flight sabotage of a Cuban airliner which had departed from Barbados with 73 persons aboard – among them pilots, flight attendants and auxiliary personnel offering their services to the airline, the complete juvenile fencing […]… | more |
Not because it was brutal or clumsy or anticipated was there any less indignation about the Yankee judge from the South Florida District denying René González, the Cuban anti-terrorist hero, the right to return to the heart of his family in Cuba after having served the unfair sentence imposed on him.… After a cruel and undeserved 13-year prison sentence, the United States government—that gave birth to monsters such as Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch who, as CIA agents had a hand in the exploding of a Cuban airliner full of passengers in mid-flight—forces René to remain in that nation, where he shall be at the mercy of unpunished murderers for three long years, under a regime described as supervised "freedom". Still unfairly and vengefully imprisoned for long terms of confinement, are another three Cuban heroes, and another one sentenced to two life terms. That is how the empire responds to the growing world clamor for the freedom of these men.… | more |
My Absence on the Central Committee
I was familiar with the content of compañero Raúl's report to the 6th Congress of the Party. He had shown it to me a few days previously on his own initiative, as he has done on many other occasions without me asking him to because, as I already explained, I had delegated all my responsibilities within the Party and the state in the proclamation of July 2006.… Doing so was a duty that I did not hesitate for a second to fulfill.… | more |
This morning at 10:00am I listened to the delegates' debates at the 6th Congress of the Party.… There were so many commissions that, logically, I couldn't listen to everyone who spoke.… They were meeting in five commissions to discuss a number of issues. Thereafter I, too, took advantage of the breaks to breathe calmly and eat some energy providing food. They surely had more of an appetite given their work and age.… | more |

They are really trying!
Posted on 03 / 25 / 2014Cafe Delux is on the right track and I appreciate how hard they are trying to have vegan options. My partner had the tofu scramble which was quite delicious and flavorful with fried potatoes inside of it and topped with vegan sour cream and guacamole. So far that would be my number one recommendation. The Flying Squirrel is good in that peanut sauce is always good, but it is a little boring with just tofu, rice, greens, and peanut sauce. They have a lot of salads and raw wraps on the menu, but not a lot of hearty veggie food. They sometimes have a vegan dessert, but not all of the time.
Cons: too many salads, not enough entrees

Interestingly, in 2012, the responses were low degree, 17 percent; moderate, 59 percent; and high, 24 percent.

Exclusive SeriesUnderstanding the CAN SLIM Investing System: C A N S L I M
Human beings desire things that are new, especially if these "things" make life richer, enhance productivity and extend good health.
View Enlarged Image
The stock market is no different. New companies — and the veteran firms that remake themselves — lead brand-new bull markets. These leaders tend to come up with new products and services that enjoy immense popularity. They produce the fastest-growing sales and profits, a key driver of stock prices. They create new jobs, boosting the economy.
As you build a portfolio of winning growth stocks, always keep in mind the importance of the N in CAN SLIM, which stands for "new" in IBD's seven-letter strategy for finding winning growth stocks.
A superb growth stock meets the N factor in another way: making new highs. This is why IBD features every day those stocks that are trading closest to their 52-week highs, regardless of market conditions. When a strong market rally takes hold, these stocks have the best potential to hit new highs quickly and make stunning runs.
William J. O'Neil, who founded IBD in 1984, notes that during the bull run of the 1990s, four out of every five market leaders were fresh faces that went public during the 1980s and early 1990s. Tax cuts helped unleash a wave of young Turks going public and accessing the market to fund their growth.
"This fresh blood acts as a critical revitalizing force in each new market cycle as mutual funds and other institutional investors pile into the dynamic, faster-growing new leaders that are based on unique new products or inventions," O'Neil wrote in "The Successful Investor."
As you form your watch list of potential winners, ask yourself:
Is it a relatively young issue? The best performers tend to have gone public within the past 15 years.
Is a company coming up with new products or new services that few rivals can match? A hot product tends to command high prices, boosting a company's margins and bottom line. Also, a new CEO can cut away underperforming divisions and inspire a companywide rebound.
Are mutual funds taking new positions in the company? One way of finding out: The Accumulation/Distribution Rating. Pay attention to those stocks earning an A or B. Your Weekly Review and the mutual funds section display information on top-performing funds and what stocks they are buying.
Is the company's industry experiencing a new trend? In the late 1960s and 1970s, innovation in jet engines and deregulation helped airline stocks take off. Commodity stocks boomed from 2003 to 2008 as demand for raw materials in Asia soared.
MasterCard (MA) is not a new name. Credit cards have been around a long time. But its debut on the NYSE back in May 2006 was certainly news back then. Why did it quickly ramp up to new highs eight weeks later 1?
The company enjoyed rapid growth outside the U.S., a new trend. The euro's big rally encouraged overseas travel and more cross-border transactions. A settlement in 2003 over a U.S. merchant lawsuit helped wipe the slate clean. MasterCard also posted record earnings of $2.35 (up 34%), $3.41 (+45%) and $5.70 (+67%) a share in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Samsung took the wraps off its new mobile payment system at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, while eBay's (NASDAQ:EBAY) PayPal said it would acquire startup Paydiant, whose digital wallet technology is being used by major retailers. PayPal, which eBay plans to spin off, will reportedly pay about ...
Costco (NASDAQ:COST) announced Monday it is partnering with Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Visa (NYSE:V) after talks to keep American Express (NYSE:AXP) fell though last month. The membership discount retailer said Citi would be the exclusive issuer of Costco-brand credit cards and Visa will be the credit ...

The latest bad news for American Express (NYSE:AXP) came in a Brooklyn, N.Y., courthouse as a federal judge ruled that the credit card company's merchant rules violate antitrust law.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals use seventh-round pick on Rutgers TE D.C. Jefferson
The Arizona Cardinals were primarily focused on the offensive side of the football in Saturday's later rounds -- a trend that continued with their final pick (No. 219) in the 2013 NFL Draft.
General manager Steve Keim used the the Cardinals' seventh-round selection on Rutgers tight end D.C. Jefferson.
In four years at Rutgers, Jefferson, considered to be primarily a blocking tight end, caught 47 passes for 560 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-6 tight end recorded a career-high 20 catches and 168 receiving yards during his senior season.
D.C. was a nickname Jefferson was given growing up and stands for former NFL quarterback Daunte Culpepper. The new Cardinals tight end was actually a quarterback coming out of high school in Winter Haven, Florida.
"When I step on the line as a tight end, I'm a quarterback in mindset," Jefferson said. "I take control...and it's do or die every time the ball is snapped."
In addition to his versatility, it seems Jefferson also has a sense of humor. When asked by a member of the media during his conference call if he expected to be drafted, the Rutgers tight end responded confidently.
"I expected to be the first player taken in the first round," said Jefferson. "But, it didn't work out that way."
Jefferson was briefly hospitalized back in February after suffering a pectoral injury during the bench press portion of the 2013 NFL Combine.

Hungry like a Wolf is one seriously sizzling story. The hedonistic edge that is intertwined in the pages will get you going and have your body ablaze very fast. However, I found Nicole's character to be weak, especially when it came to dealing with her mother. This was the main reason why it was so hard for me to enjoy the otherwise tantalizing tale. I think that Ms. Monroe has a great concept and nailed the villains as well as the heroes. With a little more tweaking on the female character, I think she would have one outstanding story.
