People of KDE: Chris Schlaeger
Chris Schlaeger is this week's guest at the popular People section of KDE's web site. Tink asks Chris about his work on KDE and on the KDE League, about his near ones and much more. Tink has also put a new lovely presentation on her section. Go take a look.

Re: FSF is evil!
The rant tags are not neccessary, they are now automatically included by the idiot-ttp parser, sort of like the HTML tags in HTTP. Oh, and by the way, communism is a very good system, it's just been implemented badly. No, you will not be respected by your little display of a need to have an enemy in order to justify your existence.
P.S. Please don't insult Slashdot by calling yourself a Slashdotter. No offense, but most slashdotters are decent people, and the idiots just stick out like sore, troll-shaped thumbs.

Communism _is_ inherently evil. I guess the old adage "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" applies here as well.

Stupidity is evil.
The problem with communism is that it's an utopy. An utopy is a perfect system, thus, it can't exist in a non-perfect world. Our universe being non-perfect, communism just can't be correctly implemented. That's why it degenerate nearly instantanetly, like stalinism, maoism among other example, prove it.
Oh, and Free Software isn't communist. Aren't RedHat, SuSE or Mandrake private companies selling products ? It's perfectly capitalism-compliant.
Imagine, you the slashdotter, you just bought a white T-Shirt. A proprietary T-Shirt will prevent you from printing something on it, giving it to a friend or reselling it. And you won't even be able to repair it if it is torn.
But enough of this. Everyone knows that it was a troll, and this slashdotter just want to create the longest thread of indignated post possible. You just can't discuss with this kind of people.

Stupidity is evil and so is sweeping generalism
Sweeping generalisation wouldn't fit! First My apologies as this is seriously off topic, but I can't let these uninformed comments on a perfectly viable political system go unchallenged.
Stalinism came about because a largely agrarian peasant nation attempted to leapfrog the industrial capitalist stage whilst fighting a civil war as well as armed intervention from the Eurpoean nations and the USA after the 14-18 war and that Trotsky was afraid that if he were to become leader after Lenins demise that the revolution would be painted as a Zionist plot (he was jewish - Lev Davidovitch Bronstein)! So not only were the populace not as sophisticated politically as their European counterparts, the econmic and productive capacity of the country was reduced from it's already parlous state due to the war efforts leading to the privations and desparate measures that enabled Stalin to purge all the Bolsheviks and communists from the Communist Party central commitee and thus bring about the cult of the personality which Lenin so abhored.
Please try and get a bit of knowledge of your subject before you discount it out of hand. As for the Troll.... Yawn!

Re: Stupidity is evil and so is sweeping generalism
__Every__ country that has ever adopted communism has very rapidly turned to Stalinist style tactics to maintain control. This is not an incredible coincidence of specific circumstances in each country, as you say. The problem with communism is not this lame 'perfection' argument, instead it is an unfounded belief in the innate goodness of the human soul, that the beurocrats in government given total control would suddenly not be greedy anymore.

Re: Stupidity is evil and so is sweeping generalism
What is wrong with the idea that everyone should work for the community, that people should share things, and no one person should be allowed more than another? Nothing a marvellous idea, no stupidly rich people, no poor starving people.
You think you deserve more than another guy cos you work harder than he does, or, you decide that whatever you do, it makes no difference, so you contribute nothing, it all falls apart due to the greed that is human nature. Look at ants, or species like that, seems to work there doesn't it?
By Anonymous at Thu, 2000/11/30 - 6:00am
Re: Stupidity is evil and so is sweeping generalism
>What is wrong with the idea that everyone should
Well, nothing. But my point is that is that it does not mesh with greedy human nature.
>You think you deserve more than another guy cos
Um, yes I do think that if I take the initiative to produce, I should be rewarded more! Is that some sort of trick question?
As for the ants, WTF???

Re: Stupidity is evil and so is sweeping generalism
Who said that every one should get the same regardless of input? Another dumb misconception! As for human nature being inherently greedy... crap. Humans are inherently social. The basic form of human societies has been cooperative and, despite 'Market' pressures to be otherwise, on the whole still is. Capitalism itself is inherently monopolistic and only maintains the sham of competition through state intervention to curb those tendencies - just take a look at M$ and then tell me that this isn't true.

Your quote.
>As for human nature being inherently greedy... crap. Humans are inherently social.
Sure, social, but that self-control has taken many thousands of years to develope.
>Capitalism itself is inherently monopolistic and
You are overgeneralising. Capitalism has SHOWN to be a thousand times more competitive than communism. The most successful economic models, including the American and Japanese ones, are based on Keynsian Economics which has as it's premise that economies are self-organising and that government intervention can only decrease their efficiency. Sure, government intervention in a very limited way can help solve some inequalities, but our system of Capitalism has cleary trumped the Socialist one!

Re: Stupidity is evil and so is sweeping generalism
> The theory of communism is far from Utopian, and even if it were, to discount it merely because individuals are flawed would be stupid.
However, you can get semi-perfect things. Modern wheels are round enough for their use, so they can be considered perfect. All depends on the scope you take to look at your wheel; on a macroscopic sight it looks perfect, when analyzing it with a microscope you see it's not as circular as it ought to be. Similarly, a 100 to 1000 communsit community could work, but when bringed to the scale of a nation the size of Russia or China, flaws becomes too evidents.
The problem is, the more power you give to the owner of a place, the more greedy people will want this place, and the less wise people will want it, because they do are conscious of their frailties and won't want to risk the fate of thousands of people by their possible mistakes.
Other utopies existed. From the "familistère" to the various fascism, all were claiming a new future for mankind, a new and better kind of men thanks to its dogma, and glorious tomorrows. Some tried to reach the perfection by fleeing away of society, other by imposing its model by force on everyones.
I really think communism tried to export itself on the most possible nations in the world, and was promising a better future. That make it an utopy.

Please stop the abusive comments. We have traced the IP address for most of these comments and they all point to the same traceable IP in .nl -- apparently from some person who has been posting/viewing the site from day 1.

Slashdotter is right. Many Linux users don't know history. Communism doesn't kill people, it kills ideas... like Linux. Nobody has any motivation to develop new products, there is no invention. There is no rivalvry, there is no reason to compete with somebody. Computer program is service and it's normal to pay for service...

communism is the only sollution
communism is the only sollution for the nations to rise up and live up through this this discusting political meaning that rules this doomed world named CAPITALISM. You can only think of the past of this thing called capitalism and the only thing you will see, is nations fighting eachother without cause. Only for the profits of those who just wanted to make their bank accounts bigger. This is the imerialism. I can't look at the past 100 years and see anything good to this shitty political system, the moment that Russia had 20.000.000 dead people in world war 2 and practicaly they won the Germans. Stalin was devoted on his people. Devoted on the declaration of the revolution of 1917. All workers of the world should be united to stop the world from going into war. We are millions, they are just a few. That's why a war against Russia started. A cold war. Trying to prevent other countries to follow up Russians example and make them less rich. So you see Communism is not utopian. IT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE WHAT HE DESERVES. We all work 8-many many hours now for the rich people to get richer. We work, we produce so we should share the profits. Don't harry up to judge someone by listening the CNN. Start fucking readning. And yes after all this, LINUX IS COMMUNISM. It is free for everyone to use just like a cooking receipe. Those who try ta make linux profitable, those are the Capitalists. And i ask you. With whom you would like to be. With those who the only think they have been doing all these years was to guide nations to war for profits? Or with Socialism?(you can see Venezela for further instructions and plz stop only watching cnn and bbc and all these mind altering media)

the true problem is the dysfunctional policy of mis-information, thats causing the border in peoples minds. read through half the threadsv about the topic and then snatch informations about marx engels hegel trotsky lenin and other originals. like reading the sourcecode from GNU software :) afterwards you _ARE_ informed

America is doomed, as far as Ed Schultz is concerned, and he's doing his darndest to cash in on its demise. This from a man who rarely misses a chance to bray about his patriotism and the alleged lack of it among conservatives.
During nearly every broadcast of his weekday radio show, Schultz can be heard narrating an ad for ITM Trading, a Phoenix-based company that buys and sells gold. (Audio after the jump)
Here's what Schultz says in the ad (audio) --
Ed Schultz for ITM Trading here. In the United States Congress, Republicans and conservatives want all the chairs to be red on the right. Democrats and liberals want all the chairs to be blue on the left. Some call for bipartisan purple chairs in the center just for show. The trouble is, all of the chairs are on the deck of the Titanic and it's going down. Sixteen trillion dollars of national debt is a hole that may never be fixed, yet Congress continues to squabble over the arrangement of the chairs on a sinking ship. Our country takes on $1.7 billion of new debt every day. Can it ever be repayed? Never?
That's why I own gold and you should too. So call my friends at ITM Trading today for your free gold information kit. That's 1-888-***-***. That's 1-888-***-****. When the ship goes down, you can be in a blue chair, a red chair, or in a lifeboat. Call now for your free gold information kit from ITM Trading and set your own course. Call 1-888-***-****. That's 1-888-***-****.
"All of the chairs are on the deck of the Titanic and it's going down" -- quoting bin Laden, Ed? Not "if" the ship goes down, Schultz tells us -- "when."
How about that, one of the biggest apologists for ever-higher government spending actually bemoaning our $16 trillion in national debt.
Just as amusing is Schultz's delusional belief that a cache of gold will save anyone if the ship of state plunges to its demise, with societal collapse following closely behind. With the Titanic as metaphor in mind, it is worth remembering that John Jacob Astor, the wealthiest man on board, did not survive the sinking.
At risk of stating the obvious, would not a rational master of this vessel steer clear of the massive icefield of debt just over the horizon?
In case the scenario described by Schultz ever came to pass, he just might seek refuge in that remote Canadian fishing lodge he bought a while back, far from the mayhem in post-civilization America. The money he makes shilling for ITM Trading could help pay for his supplies.
Four years ago, Glenn Beck was criticized by Think Progress and others on the left for touting gold and not revealing that a gold seller was one of his sponsors. Don't hold your breath waiting for anyone on the left to slam Schultz for touting gold to profit from the apocalypse.

The son of early 20th century black nationalist Marcus Garvey on Wednesday said his father's 129th birthday marked the perfect day to begin a public push for a presidential pardon to exonerate Garvey for an unjust conviction.
Dr. Julius W. Garvey wants President Barack Obama to clear his father's name from a mail fraud conviction that caused Marcus Garvey to be deported from the United States to his native Jamaica.
The younger Garvey said he has lived his whole life with the fact that his famous father was a convicted criminal, which he believes is part of the reason his father is less well-known and accepted among mainstream Americans.
U.S. & World
Because of the conviction, "there is still a whiff of subversion about the idea of being" a fan of his father's teachings, Garvey said at a news conference at the National Press Club.
Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica on Aug. 17, 1887, and was considered by people like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X to be a father of the civil rights movement. He inspired millions of followers worldwide with messages of black pride and self-reliance, and founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1914, considered to be the largest secular organization in African-American history. His Pan-African philosophy urged blacks to return to the continent of their ancestors, and he launched the Black Star Line, a fleet of steamships intended to take them there.
Garvey was also controversial because of his "back to Africa" promotion and his campaign for racial separation, born of the conviction that whites would never allow blacks justice.
He was convicted of mail fraud in 1923 in connection with his steamship line and deported to Jamaica in exchange for being released from prison. He died in London in 1940 and was buried in Kingston, Jamaica.
Garvey's family, along with supporters and fans, have filed a pardon request with the White House and are waiting to see if Obama will consider the request before he leaves office next year. If not, future presidents will get the same request, they said.
They are hoping to build a groundswell of support for the pardon, given Garvey's prominent contributions. "Legally, there's not much more to be done," said former NAACP President Kweisi Mfume, who attended the news conference. "This is now in the court of public opinion."

When Jim and Melanie Black received a letter from Melanie's picture-of-health dad encouraging them to get their out-of-control lives in shape, they were ready to hear it. That letter began a search for ways to improve their health that ultimately led them to The Daniel Plan, just as it was kicking off in January 2011.
Six months fully in, Melanie was down more than 30 pounds and Jim over 50. More than that, Jim had been off all medication for his diabetes, sleep apnea and GERD since early spring of that year.
Profiled and followed by Daniel Plan watchers last year as two of the Plan's "biggest losers," the Blacks remain sure and steady evangelists for this God-designed way of living. We caught up with them in August, 2012, to talk about challenges, new goals, and how to recharge your commitment.
Jim: I'm down about 90 pounds but have been at the same weight for the last six months. I've hit a plateau. I'm thinner, my clothes are fitting looser, but I've put on a lot of muscle by exercising five days a week. We've both been devoted to the exercise.
We'd become quite regimented and routine, so now we're hoping that making some small changes will help us reach our goals. For me, I've changed my focus from weight loss to the goal of a changed lifestyle. I think that's a healthier way of looking at it. The side effect then is weight loss. My initial goal was 210 lbs. I'm still around 240.
Melanie: Recently at a Daniel Plan Health workshop, we learned that your body can go into starvation mode, so you have to make small changes and be consistent.
"I lost 40 lbs, but put 10 back on. My pattern is to slip back into my old ways. I can't do that."
Being a face for The Daniel Plan helps Melanie realize she can't tell others what she should be doing!
"At the workshop we learned that you need to be accountable to someone—someone who'll say, 'How are you doing? What's your goal?' I learned, for example, that journaling what I eat makes me accountable to myself.
"I'm really excited about Daniel Plan 2.0! It's about the balance of faith, food, fitness, focus, and friends. I learned I'm putting too much pressure on myself and when I let go and give it to God and follow what I know I need to be doing, it turns around. I started slipping, but I caught myself. I'm realistic — I didn't put this weight on in a year and I'm not going to take it off in a year or two. I want to be authentic about the process and The Daniel Plan is as close to perfect as it comes, but we can still slip.
"Before we can really be effective, to "love your neighbor as yourself," we must first truly love ourselves!
"I'm excited about all we do with Walk & Worship, plus Authentic Therapeutix on Tuesday evenings."
Jim: I do Pump & Praise on Saturdays with Tom Wilson, plus I'm a runner. I run 2-3 miles before Walk & Worship.
Jim: Be a part of a group of people with mutual goals and interests. That's what's kept me coming. When you try to do it on your own you get sidetracked and you are done.
Melanie: We all need coaches and cheerleaders. I have a friend that we text back and forth, "Are you drinking enough water?" Or the word "water." Sounds silly but it works. It reminds you that somebody has your back.
Jim: It's taken about a year and a half to get all my labs normal, but I was off all prescription medications within two months and now all my labs are within normal range. That takes dedication and focus.
Melanie: Now we have our shopping down. We know where we're going and what to get there. It becomes a routine.
Jim: "The Daniel Plan really has become our life."
Jim and Melanie want readers to know that Walk & Worship is now on Facebook. Also, there is a Walk & Worship Daniel Plan recipes blog.

Col. Philip Aguer said Wednesday that South Sudan troops killed 28 fighters led by the rebel leader David Yau Yau in the restive state of Jonglei. Ten soldiers were wounded in the Monday fights.
Later Auger said the rebels ambushed the troops, killing five of them.
Pibor County Commissioner Joshua Konyi said there have been several government efforts to reach a peace agreement with Yau Yau but they have not succeeded. Konyi said it appears Yau Yau understands "the language of the gun" better than peace.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in 2011 after decades of civil war. The country still has several internal regions where violence frequently flares.

The Powerball jackpot is up to $500 million for tonight's drawing.
No matter whether you buy a ticket or not, everybody that hears that just stops and wonders: what would I do with that kind of money?
Here at the Daily Item, there's an office pool and we're dreaming big!
Here's my list:
- Pay off my student loans, plus my older sister's and my boyfriend's.
- Buy a car that is less than 10 years old. I've never had one of those.
- Start a college fund for my younger sister.
- Buy a 3-D television
- Splurge on something. I don't know what yet, but then again, I've never been able to walk into a store and buy everything.
It's a list of things I dream of being able to afford, but likely never will.
What would you do if you hit the jackpot? What would you buy?

On Oct. 3, 10 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students from the Seaside Neighborhood School officially became certified as PADI Junior Scuba Divers.
The youth participated in Seaside�s Marine Discovery mentoring course begun in 2010, and they represent the program�s fifth graduating class.
The six week course includes three classroom sessions, followed by two swimming pool sessions, where the kids apply their �textbook� knowledge, getting acclimated to scuba equipment and breathing underwater for the first time.
New for the fall 2012 class was instruction and sponsorship by ScubaTech of Northwest Florida, a leading dive shop in Destin. After the instructor who launched the scuba program moved to south Florida, ScubaTech welcomed the opportunity to step in and introduce the youthful group to the world of diving. Greg Christie was the lead instructor, and divemaster Tim Steadman assisted with all in water sessions.
Another first for 2012 was that a Seaside School faculty member also took the opportunity to learn scuba. Balder Saunders is the school�s music teacher and a founding member of the popular local band, Dread Clampitt. By chance he was assigned as the school staff liaison to monitor the course. The first day of class Saunders expressed his desire to get certified some day. Instructor Greg Christie then suggested that this would be the perfect time to take the course, so the teacher immediately became a student as well.
Week six of the course involves �open water� dives, where students perform a number of exercises that must be completed in a natural body of water.
After Tropical Storm Isaac closed Walton County schools for two days in August, all mentoring class sessions were postponed one week. For ScubaTech this complicated their original plan to hold the open water dives at the Destin jetties. The schedule of tides that day prohibited diving at the jetties during school hours.
Enter Vortex Spring in Ponce de Leon. When contacted to see if the dive resort would accommodate the students, the folks at Vortex readily agreed to the visit. They further offered to waive all entry fees for the group � very welcome news to all, as no such costs had been included in the course fee.
Conditions on the final dive day were ideal, with clear skies and temperatures in the 70s. Vortex�s clear spring waters are a frigid 68 degrees year round. Thick wetsuits and pleasant surface weather contributed to a very comfortable dive experience, so essential for young students new to the sport.
The youngest member of the class, a 6th grader, had to overcome a rather traumatic yellow jacket sting upon arrival at Vortex. After swelling subsided and it became clear there were no allergy concerns, the determined diver persevered and completed the entire regimen of exercises.
Several students expressed interest in continuing their education to the next level � Junior Open Water Diver. At age 15 they can become certified as adults by completing a little more course work and several additional dives. Until then they must dive in the company of a certified instructor or divemaster.
The Seaside Neighborhood School is a charter public middle school in Seaside, Fla., offering mentoring programs that range from culinary arts and drama to firefighting and wakeboarding.
For more information about Seaside Neighborhood School programs, call 850-231-0396, or visit www.seasideschool.net.
ScubaTech of Northwest Florida is a full service scuba diving facility in Destin F;a. They offer a complete range of dive excursions, beginner and advanced instruction, equipment rental, sales and service, including online product sales. 850-837-2822, www.scubatechnwfl.com.
Vortex Spring is the premier inland dive resort on the Gulf Coast and the largest scuba diving facility in the state of Florida. 850-836-4947, www.vortexspring.com.

A new review by postgraduate research student Emily Trafford of the University of Liverpool's School of Histories, Languages and Cultures has been added to the research section of the Black Atlantic Resource, which looks at the 2008 publication Human Zoos.
P. Blanchard, N. Bancel, G. Boёtsch, É. Deroo, S. Lemaire, C. Forsdick (eds), Human Zoos: Science and Spectacle in the Age of Colonial Empires, 2008 (Liverpool University Press: Liverpool)
This recent collection of essays on the display of human otherness moves beyond the wave of freak show literature of the 1980s and '90s, and seeks to provide a more comprehensive overview of this peculiar exhibitionary practice. The display of the exotic Other for entertainment, education, and supposedly the advancement of scientific knowledge, occurred in numerous guises throughout imperial nations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The strength of the volume lies in its scope – in terms of time and place, the historical characters and stories that emerge, and the disciplinary approaches that its contributors utilise – all of which make Human Zoos a valuable resource …read more

June 27, 2013
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Islamist president told his opponents to use elections not protests to try to change the government and said the military should focus on its role as the nation's defenders in a nationally televised address on Wednesday, days before the opposition plans massive street rallies aimed at removing him from office.
Mohammed Morsi's words to the military came amid opposition hopes that the powerful generals will protect their protests Sunday in an implicit show of support. Morsi's supporters accuse the opposition of fomenting a coup. Speaking at a giant conference hall packed with people, Morsi reminded his audience that "all agree" that the president is the supreme commander of the armed forces.
"There are some who don't want the armed forces and the presidency to have a healthy relationship," Morsi said. "All state institutions work in harmony and with discipline under the leadership of the head of state."
The audience, packed with Cabinet members, officials from Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and other supporters, cheered his remarks on the military, which at times sounded like a rebuke to Defense Minister Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
Sitting on the front row, el-Sissi, sat silently. Days earlier he issued a sharp demand that both sides in the crisis reconcile and a warning that the military will not sit by if the nation is endangered by the political divisions.
Earlier on Wednesday, military officials said they were bringing reinforcements closer to Egypt's main cities, apparently aimed at keeping security if violence erupts on Sunday. In his 2 ½-hour address, Morsi defended his performance in his first year in office, admitting to making mistakes but also claiming achievements. At one point he apologized for fuel shortages which have caused long lines at gas stations and have increased frustration and anger at the government. "I am saddened by the lines, and I wish I could join in and wait in line, too," he said. At another, he apologized to the nation's youth for not doing enough to involve them in the new political system and ordered Cabinet ministers and provincial governors to appoint assistants under the age of 40.
But he offered no compromises in the confrontation with his opponents. Those organizing the protests for Sunday — the anniversary of Morsi's inauguration — say he must go because he has mismanaged the country, given a monopoly on decision-making to the Brotherhood and his Islamist allies and has encroached on the judiciary.
Protesters are hoping to bring out massive crowds Sunday, saying they have tapped into widespread discontent over economic woes, rising prices and unemployment, power cuts and lack of security. As Morsi spoke, several thousand of his opponents gathered in Tahrir square, the birthplace of the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak, chanted "erhal!" or leave. Some chanted "the people want to overthrow the regime." Several took off their shoes and held them up in a sign of contempt.
Morsi took aim at his opponents and critics. He demanded "some in the media stop spreading rumors." He told the judiciary, with which he has clashed repeated over the past year, to stay out of politics, though he added he "respects very, very much" their status.
He told his political opponents to "enter elections if you want to change the government" and scolded them for brushing off his past appeals to hold a dialogue on the nation's problems. "I have been surprised" by their refusals, he said repeatedly.
Morsi said protests were a legitimate way "to raise your opinion" but they cannot be "used to impose your opinion." Morsi's supporters say the protest organizers are trying to overturn democracy by reversing the election victories of Morsi and his Islamist allies. They have accused Mubarak loyalists of trying to foment a coup.
In the long speech, Morsi was often animated, at times angry, raising his voice. He frequently departed from his prepared remarks, switching for formal Arabic to Egyptian dialect to make jokes and present a common-man image. He was rewarded with rounds of applause from his supporters who, after the address, chanted "Oh president, we love you!"
On the whole, the address was a bid by Morsi to present himself as the nation's safest pair of hands at a very difficult time, something that he sought to convey with talk about outside plots to destabilize Egypt and Mubarak loyalists trying to undermine his government.
He pledged "radical and quick" reforms in state institutions to address public complaints. He demanded the Cabinet and provincial governors remove all officials "who have caused crises for the people."
He also announced steps against gas stations suspected in selling subsidized fuel on the black market — a sign of what a major political issue the gas lines have become. He blamed the security woes on "thugs," some of whom he contended were paid to foment chaos.
He also promised to form a panel to draft amendments to the Islamist-backed constitution passed in a December referendum, an offer that is similar to one he made about six months ago but never bore fruition.
Morsi's opponents calculate they can force him out through the sheer number of people they bring into the streets starting Sunday. But they are looking to the military to protect their crowds against possible attacks by hard-line Islamists.
Security officials, who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to speak to reporters, said army commanders have carried out reconnaissance missions in areas and facilities they intend to protect.
The commander of the central military region on Tuesday inspected a media complex on the western outskirts of Cairo that houses several TV networks, some critical of Morsi. The complex was besieged at least twice in recent months by Islamists loyal to Morsi attempting to intimidate the networks and hosts of talk shows critical of the president.
Besides that complex, the military plans to protect the massive Nile-side building housing state TV, the Suez Canal, the Cabinet offices and parliament. Morsi's supporters have accused organizers of the weekend rally of planning to use violence, but the protesters have repeatedly vowed to keep their demonstrations peaceful.
Morsi backers plan a rally of their own in Cairo on Friday for the second successive week. In last Friday's rally, hard-line Islamists addressing the crowd vowed to "smash" the demonstrating opponents, whom they denounced as Mubarak loyalists.

Sex discrimination occurs frequently in the medical field. It often manifests in the form of disparaging comments made to a female doctor about whether she intends to have children or not.
According to an article in NPR, the Physician Moms Group (PMG) is a professional forum where female physicians interact and receive support from each other regarding various types of work related issues. The group has more than 65,000 members. Thousands of members' Facebook posts have appeared in the PMG forum where mothers talk about balancing motherhood and their professions.
Research Study by JAMA Internal Medicine
Motivated by the extent of the PMG posts, researchers undertook a study, which was recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The study showed survey results of more than 6,000 physician mothers. Professionally, these mothers encompassed a broad span, ranging from pediatricians to surgeons. The survey asked questions to determine whether workplace discrimination existed, and in particular, whether it existed regarding motherhood.
The following were the published results:
- Of the total number of female physicians, 77.9 percent reported discrimination (4 out of 5).
- Nearly 66 percent reported gender discrimination.
- About 33% reported maternal discrimination, which included discrimination based on pregnancy, a maternity leave or breastfeeding.
- All of the women who reported maternal discrimination said the discrimination was based on pregnancy or a maternity leave.
- About 50 percent said the discrimination was due to breastfeeding.
What form did the discrimination take?
- Disrespectful treatment (the most common)
- Being excluded from administrative decision-making
- Unequal pay and benefits compared to male counterparts
Repercussions on the Medical Field
Aside from the potential repercussions of discrimination lawsuits, the medical field already faces staffing challenges. Approximately 50 percent of the women, who experienced maternal discrimination, also complained of professional burnout.
In fact, statistics show that women have a higher incidence of being at risk for self-reported burnout than men. Today, about one third of all practicing physicians are women. Projections indicate there will be a shortage of 90,000 physicians by 2025. This is crucial given the fact that the country already faces a growing and aging population that needs medical attention.
Administrators in the medical field are wise to deal with any instances of workplace discrimination and should put firm policies in place to prevent its occurrence.

I have found the Warburton 4GS an outstanding mouthpiece for orchestral work in both live and recording situations on my Bach 42G. I found just what I was looking for; a bit deeper full sound in all registers, with the resonance I loved about the Warburton 5G. I find this mouthpiece a great blend of everything I was looking for in terms of sound, pitch and dynamic control, without sacrificing range or flexibility.

BIG SWING, BIG THING: California is pretty comfortable with the whole "let's throw on some shoulder pads and a snood and kick up our heels, big band-style" thing. Maybe it is the presence of Hollywood -- all of those old movie musicals were made in the Golden State -- or maybe it is the fact that we're fairly live-and-let-live here. Meaning if you want to dress like you a late-'30s starlet, just to go to your job, well, by gum, do it. The happy consequence of this is that there are a number of occasions throughout the year when one can wear their fedora and their tie and go to town for an evening, old-timey glam style. But they're really just single nights here and there, maybe a dance, maybe a dinner.
NOT ON CATALINA: Going to an island, though, for an event changes everything. Because you're there, on the island, once you arrive. It sounds plain, and obvious, but it is true. So if you've gone to Catalina Island for its vintage-sweet Avalon Ball in the past -- snoods on everyone! -- you know you've got more time to fill before your trip back to land (which is usually the following day, not that night). But that's been solved: The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles, the people behind the Avalon Ball, are making the annual event into an entire weekend.
AND THAT WEEKEND IS... Friday, May 12 through Sunday, May 14. So in addition to the Saturday night ball, which remains the centerpiece of the three-day hoop-di-do, there's a swanky Friday night cocktails meet-up, a silent comedies film festival, and more doings. Meaning your cute little period outfits? You can rock several of 'em throughout the weekend, not just one at the big ball.

Having been a classroom teacher for four years, and having many teacher-friends, I feel highly qualified to address this topic. In my short career I have received gifts ranging in value from $2 to $100 (no kidding, totally unnecessary, but fun!). The value of the gift really isn't important, but here are some helpful (I hope) guidelines for end-of-the-year (or holiday) gifting for teachers:
1) Step away from the apples. Seriously. The possible exception to this would be in the case of a new teacher who has yet to be showered in apple-themed nonsense. Unless the teacher is a self-proclaimed apple enthusiast, it really isn't necessary.
2) Consumable is good. Teachers, like most of us, already have a lot of stuff. You might want to steer clear of anything that will take up shelf-space. Again, unless you know the teacher's decor and tastes really well, avoid anything non-consumable that needs to be displayed in the teacher's home.
3) Gift cards are easy, available in any amount, and can be purchased from a variety of stores. Especially at book stores, coffee shops, ice cream, and video stores, a little can go a long way. $5 is a movie-rental or a really nice cup of coffee, even most of a paperback! If you can/want to spend a little more try the mall, restaurant, movie theater, or store like Target or Kohls. A local spa gift certificate might be nice too, but that's not everyone's cup of tea. Want your money to go back into the classroom? Send a gift certificate to a teacher-supply store. You might not realize it, but there's probably one near you.
4) Candles, lotion, scented soaps, etc. are not a bad idea. If you are going to go that route I suggest getting them from a decent place (do you want the seven piece cherry-scented "spa" set on clearance for $4.50?) and possibly include a gift receipt. I know someone who loves vanilla anything - lotion, candles, etc. Vanilla seems like a mild enough scent, right? But to me too much vanilla makes me feel like a cookie factory threw up nearby. I'm not trying to offend the vanilla-lovers, I'm just saying that scent is a pretty personal thing. I always loved receiving gifts from Bath and Body Works because I use their stuff and because you can take any unused product back and exchange it like it's a gift certificate. I have never had trouble exchanging items their store.
5) I always thought notepads (of the non-apple variety!) and note cards were good gifts, especially for elementary school teachers. I went through both like crazy sending notes home, to other teachers, writing thank-yous, etc. If you don't get school-themed ones then the teacher can use them at home as well. You can also have your kids decorate note cards by folding unlined, 5x7 index cards in half, and buying similarly-sized envelopes from an office store. Have your child decorate the front of each card, pair each with an envelope, and tie a ribbon around a set of eight or ten.

The score may have been 6-3 Cubs, but the Bucs played another game where they couldn't do any of the little, professional things right. A thrown away DP ball; fours steals against (two didn't even draw a throw, and the two that did weren't close enough to merit a tag), nine walks, no one covering first on a bunt, a runner scoring from second on an infield single, a starting pitcher that couldn't get through the fifth, loading the bases with no outs and not scoring, eight more strikeouts...*sigh* It's enough to drive a Sunday School teacher to drink.
The Bucs scored in the first when Alex Presley singled, stole second, and scored on Derrek Lee's two-out knock. Then they were goosed egged until the eighth, when Neil Walker drilled his twelfth homer with Lee aboard. The Cubs scored by plating runs in five different innings against three pitchers. They didn't have any extra base hits; the walks and miscues were plenty enough to prime the pump. Chicago still stranded 13 runners, keeping the score respectable.
The Pirates are home tomorrow for Labor Day against the Astros. Henry Sosa takes on James McDonald.
- Altoona announced their 2011 team awards: MVP - Starling Marte, Pitcher of Year - Kyle McPherson, Fireman of Year - Bryan Morris, Unsung Hero - Mike Colla, Iron Man & Teammate of the Year - Brock Holt. Even nicer, Marte was also named the Eastern League Rookie of the Year, the first Curve player ever to win that honor.

Paul the Apostle spent quite a lot of time talking about the "seen" reality versus the "unseen" reality in the world, and how it's important for Christians to focus on the unseen things that God is doing instead of on how things appear to be going.
There are many examples I could draw from to illustrate the difference, but for now I am just going to mention the biggest one there is: Jesus!
Having the benefit of hindsight (and what a benefit it is!) we know that Jesus was the Son of God and that His death on the cross allowed Him to take our punishment upon Himself so we can be reconciled to God, inherit eternal life and be saved from the judgment and death that we rightly deserve.
However, at the time of Jesus' death it did not look like the awe-inspiring and glorious victory of mercy and justice and triumph over evil that it was. Instead it looked like all the hopes and aspirations of Jesus' followers were destroyed, that the Messiah still hadn't come and that an innocent and good man had been condemned to a pointless death!
In the crucifixion of Jesus there is a considerable difference between the seen (the end of all hope) and the unseen (the fulfillment of all hope).
When it comes to Child Sponsorship and letter writing, there are seen and unseen elements at work on several levels.
In the seen reality, letters are just a novelty, something fun to give and receive if you're into that type of thing; letter writing is like cross-stitch or model-airplane making — something some people like doing and others aren't so interested in.
However, in the unseen reality letters can change lives. They can bring hope into a sponsored child's life. They can bring the knowledge that someone loves and cares for them. They can bring together two people from vastly different places and cultures and forge a friendship that is deep and personal. And they provide another channel to proclaim the wonderful news of Jesus' love and what He did for us!
Letters are no longer something that certain "types" of people are into but something we should all be able to do to love and serve another person.
This does not mean it is easy to write letters, or that you have to be as involved in the ministry of letter writing as a person who is really gifted in that regard. But it does mean that we can all do something.
- If you are naturally gifted at writing, you can show love by writing to your sponsored child(ren) and also perhaps take on some "Correspondent Children" to write to as well.
- If you don't necessarily enjoy writing but can do it easily enough, I encourage you to lovingly serve your sponsored child(ren) by writing regularly. If you are at a loss for what to write about, consider these letter writing ideas.
- If you prefer not to write at all, you can ask Compassion to find a sponsor to correspond with your child so your child can experience the wonderful relationship that can develop through letter writing.
Writing a letter may seem unimportant, but it is a labor of love that can make all the difference to a child in poverty — for poverty is not simply a lack of money, but also a lack of hope.

Workers at Consolidated Public Water Supply District #1 of Platte County were recognized recently for having no recordable or lost time incidents in 2007.
The system has been managed by contract operations and maintenance company Alliance Water Resources since 2002. Safety practices for each division are reviewed every six months as part of the company\'s overall safety program. A certificate of recognition was presented to local system manager Bart Downing during a bi-annual meeting for Alliance managers in February.
Recognized safety efforts include conducting safety meetings each month, with an emphasis on active employee participation. The Platte County team is one of eleven water, wastewater and public works management divisions to earn the certificate for the reporting period.
Headquartered in Columbia, Mo., Alliance Water Resources is an environmental management company serving community water, wastewater and public works systems in the Midwest. The company partners with communities in Missouri and Iowa to manage issues such as federal and state regulatory compliance, operator certification and capital improvement project management.

The Impact of Browsers
Unlike desktop applications, web developers rely on "middle men" to deliver applications to users in the form of web browsers. Changes to browsers significantly impact web applications, so understanding the current and future landscape of browser technology is an important aspect of web development. With the introduction of new browsers like Google Chrome and Mobile Safari, developers find themselves working in the middle of the Internet's second "browser war."
A lot has changed since the last browser war in 1999, though.
The other side effect of this "standards focus" is that it no longer matters who "wins" the browser war. If all browsers are more or less rendering pages consistently and the key differentiators are speed, performance, reliability, and end-user "chrome" features, then web developers can sit back and enjoy the benefit of increasingly powerful application delivery "middle men." Web applications will be built to run on any browser that supports standards, and companies will not be locked-in to a specific browser vendor. But it's not all goodwill and cooperation in today's browser war.
While standards do exist and browser makers are building browsers to implement them, there can be significant variation in implementation. The best example of this is the notoriously varying support for CSS in today's browsers. Web developers have developed all variety of unusual "hack" to work around the differences of each browser's CSS implementation, and each of those hacks represents wasted development time. It's this "hack" mentality that has helped drive developers to the emerging RIA platforms where they're not burdened with the inconsistencies of browsers.
The next true test for browsers is HTML5. If browser makers can come together and begin delivering uniform support for the standards outlined in HTML5, standards-based development has a very serious possibility of reducing interest in RIA plug-in development. But if the past is a lesson for how long it can take browsers to uniformly implement a standard, developers can reasonably expect it to take another 12 to 24 months before browsers begin to offer enough next-generation standards support to compete with RIAs.
Impact on the Future
As Ajax, RIAs, and browsers evolve, they are forming the foundation for web applications that will become mainstream in the future. Whether there is greater potential in RIAs or standards-based development, there are four clear future trends these key technologies reveal:
- Offline Web Applications. It's clear that in the future offline web applications will be common. The HTML5 standard focuses heavily on providing a standards-based infrastructure for enabling offline applications, and RIAs like Flash and Silverlight are quickly maturing APIs for offline scenarios.
- More Mobile Browsing. The explosion of Internet connected mobile devices today will only continue in the future. As more users connect to the Internet on-the-go, it will become increasingly important to offer tailored mobile experiences to users. A 2008 Nielsen report revealed that mobile access to web sites extends a site's reach by 13% on average. Ignoring mobile in the future will not be an option.
- More Rich Interactivity Over the Web. Whether it's HTML5's new <video>, <audio>, and <canvas> tags, or Silverlight and Flash's powerful plug-in based rendering engines, the web is getting richer. Users increasingly expect "desktop-like" experiences for web-delivered applications, and providing those rich experiences will be a basic requirement of future web development.
In short, the future of the web will be visually rich, interactive applications that can be accessed through almost any Internet connected device, and used even when an active connection to the Internet is not available. RIAs and standards, and the browsers delivering both, are all heading in that direction. Developers will need to weigh the pros and cons of each approach to decide how to build applications for the future.

The year isn't even half over, and the S&P 500 has already advanced almost 18% year-to-date. Plus, the value of the S&P 500 has jumped more than 5% during the first two months of the second quarter.
Globally, U.S. stocks are outperforming most developed and emerging-market countries.
Have stock values become overstretched?
"The forward 12-month P/E ratio for the S&P 500 now stands at 14.4, based on [May 16's] closing price (1650.47) and forward 12-month EPS estimate ($114.94)," Factset wrote earlier this month. "This is the highest forward 12-month P/E ratio logged by the S&P 500 in more than three years (April 2010). Given the high values driving the P in the P/E ratio, how does this 14.4 P/E ratio compare to historical averages? Is the index now overvalued?"
On the one hand, the index is now trading above both the 5-year (12.9) and 10-year average P/E ratios, the research firm points out. On the other hand, it is still trading below the 15-year average P/E ratio (16.5), and is not close to the peak P/E ratio of 25 recorded in the late 1990's and early 2000's.
The PE10 (also known as the Shiller P/E ratio) is another measure of valuations.
Currently, the S&P 500's PE10 is at 24.8, which puts it above its historical median of 15.89. While that may seem elevated, it's still below its 1999 peak of 44.20.
The PE10 is calculated by accounting for yearly earnings of the S&P 500 for each of the past 10 years and adjusting them for inflation using the Consumer Price Index, or CPI.
Since the start of 2013, four industry sectors have topped the S&P's performance: consumer discretionary (XLY), consumer staples (XLP), healthcare (XLV) and financials (XLF), as measured by their respective Select Sector SPDR ETFs.
The S&P 500 (IVV), tracked by the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, is up more than 115% since bottoming in March 2009.
Renowned value investor Warren Buffett still favors stocks over other assets, including bonds. In May, Buffett told CNBC that bonds are a "terrible" investment right now and that owners of long-term bonds may experience large losses once a cycle of higher interest rates kicks into high gear.
Buffett holds stakes in more than 80 companies, including blue chips like Coca-Cola (KO) and Wells Fargo (WFC), via his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B).
Although the broader stock market may ignore valuations, the first sign of any significant mean reversion will be reflected in a technical break below key price levels.
Remember: valuations are important, but prices are a leading indicator.

No. 8 Florida has been through this before — all season really. The Gators will be without two key backups at Tennessee tonight, the latest injuries woes for coach Billy Donovan's team.
No. 8 Florida has been through this before — all season really.
The Gators will be without two key backups at Tennessee tonight, the latest injuries woes for coach Billy Donovan's team.
Guard Michael Frazier II (concussion) and forward Will Yeguete (knee) will miss the game, but could be back Saturday against Alabama.
Frazier sustained a concussion last Saturday against Arkansas when he went head-first into Scottie Wilbekin's knee while chasing a loose ball. Yeguete had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Feb. 8 to remove loose bodies.
Their absences will leave the Gators (22-4, 12-2 SEC) short-handed against the Volunteers (16-10, 8-6).
That's nothing new for Donovan, who's become accustomed to juggling his roster this season. Florida already has played without point guard Wilbekin (suspension), guard Mike Rosario (ankle), forward Casey Prather (concussion, ankle) and forward Erik Murphy (broken rib). The result: Donovan has had his entire rotation available for just seven games this season. "It's been kind of some strange stuff that's happened," Donovan said Monday. "The one thing that's been good is that our guys have responded. That's been the one positive. ... We've just gotten, obviously this year, a large rash of it. It's been a blessing that it hasn't been a situation where guys, their season has been over. They can't come back. "It's been these things that have happened that have kept guys out for a few games here or there, or guys have had to play through certain situations. But I think to a certain extent, maybe not to the extent that we've had to deal with, but guys are always dealing with different issues or challenges or problems." Frazier, a freshman averaging 6.4 points a game, has yet to fully pass his baseline concussion test, so Donovan ruled him out against Tennessee, which has won six of the last seven meetings at home. Frazier was cleared to run with the Gators during Tuesday's shoot-around at Thompson-Boling Arena, according to Gatorzone.com Yeguete, a junior averaging 6.0 points and 6.3 rebounds, ran sprints on consecutive days last week and had no swelling issues afterward — positive signs for his return. He also went through shoot-around before Florida's win over the Razorbacks and also earlier Tuesday, according to Gatorzone.com. But Yeguete won't be cleared to play until he starts practicing, which could happen later this week. "It's hard because we definitely miss those guys," said Prather, a 6-foot-6 small forward who might have to play some center Tuesday. Donovan initially said Yeguete would be out at least until the postseason, but the 6-foot-7 Frenchman is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation. Until Frazier and Yeguete return, Florida will be down to six of its usual, eight-man rotation. That means at least one of Donovan's other three freshmen — Braxton Ogbueze, DeVon Walker or Dillon Graham — will be thrust into an expanded role against the Volunteers. "They've got to get in early," said Donovan, whose team needs one win to clinch a first-round bye in the SEC tournament. "We're not going to be able to get through this game with just six guys. It'll be totally impossible, especially if you get some foul trouble. ... We've got to change, there's no question. We have to change. We have to do a lot of different things."

So, remember that Philadelphia minority owner who said Brett Myers' wife was lying when she said he hit her? At the time, he was publicly shushed by the other owners, and now it's easy to see why.
The Philadelphia Inquirer published transcripts of the 911 calls, and, uh, they don't leave much room for interpretation. An excerpt:
I got a guy smacking a girl around right in front of the Hynes Convention Center. He's right in front of the fire station that's in front of the Hynes Convention Center. She's crying. She's got no shoes on. He's a pretty big guy in a white shirt. And he's hitting her hard. I saw it. A couple of other people saw it.
To be fair, "hitting her hard" is easy to misinterpret, as is "she's crying" and "smacking a girl around." If only she could have impaled him with the dislodged shoe, Single White Female-style.
