You don't often find Jordan splashed across the top of your favorite news site.
Big on the grand desert scenery and ancient monuments you'd expect, but absent from any roll call of travel-warning infamy on government websites, this is a nation that confounds traveler perceptions of the Middle East.
Here's why.

1. Bedouin culture is at the root of Jordanian hospitality
Ahlan wa Sahlan ("hello and welcome") follows you wherever you go.
For Jordanians, hospitality is part of life, founded in a centuries-old nomadic culture.
Visitors who set their itineraries in stone risk missing out on all the spontaneous invitations to sit back and drink endless tiny glasses of tea with locals.
2. Landscapes are film stars
If the scenery gives you déjà vu, that's because you've probably seen it before.
Jordan is a kingdom of blockbuster countryside that's graced cinema screens countless times.
Petra's Al-khaznah (The Treasury) monument posed as the home of the Holy Grail in "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade."
Yep, you saw Wadi Rum featured in "Lawrence of Arabia." You did see it, right?

The high-rise cliffs and blush pink sands of Wadi Rum played themselves in "Lawrence of Arabia."
At 89,342 square kilometers, Jordan may be relatively small, but its vistas are the stuff of epic silver screen classics.

3. It's a regional eco-lodge leader
Sustainable travel has a long road to travel in the Middle East, but Jordan is leading the way.
The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature
operates ten protected areas in the country with eco-lodge accommodation options.

, Dead Sea Highway, +962 079 907 4960
) for canyon hiking and the Dead Sea on your doorstep at 416 meters below sea level.
Jordan's most famous national park is Wadi Rum, where you can spend the night amid the silent desert expanse at a simple Bedouin Beit Shar (goat-hair tent) encampment.
4. Levantine flavors in Amman
Amman is Jordan's capital city, as well as its culinary capital.
Lunch lines outside Al-Quds on Rainbow Street indicate the city's best falafel.
You can do coffee with one of Amman's best views at the Wild Jordan Cafe
(Othman bin Affan Street, +962 06 463 3542
), and try Levant's finest dishes amid the opulence of an old Ottoman mansion at

5. Using the car horn for brakes doesn't cut it here
Seasoned Middle East travelers will tell you the biggest safety concern in the region is for your hearing.
The traffic crush -- and cacophony of car horns -- is a constant stress.
Not in Jordan.
With a population of only 6.5 million, and plenty of open spaces, Jordanian drivers don't feel the need to thump out a constant tuneless blast of beeps.

6. Cultural tours that make a difference
In recent years, small local initiatives have begun changing the face of tourism by offering a look into the Jordan beyond the famous ruins.
The Zikra Initiative
operates a tourism-exchange program in which travelers take part in traditional village activities -- cooking, banana-leaf basket making -- for a small fee that gets funneled into micro-loans to help the village community.

Backpacker Concierge
operates a number of cultural immersion tours in Jordan.
7. Ruins everywhere
If you want to see megalithic monuments, Jordan won't let you down.
Jerash is one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman towns in the world.
A walk along its long Cardo Maximus from the South Theater to the Temple of Artemis offers an evocative slice of the Classical Age.
The Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Arab Empires stamped their hand prints across the countryside.
Head north (or east, on the desert castle loop) from the glorious tumble of columns and temples at ancient Umm Qais or Pella, and you'll find the Umayyad caliphs' country retreats of Azraq Fort and the UNESCO-listed Qasr Amr.
8. The Abraham Path
Jordan's Ajloun region has a five-day hiking trail that's part of the multi-country
Abraham Path
The shorter, one-day Ajloun-Orjan village section starts at the Crusader castle of Ajloun, drops in at Mar Elias (said to be the birthplace of the prophet Elijah) and finishes at sleepy Orjan, where homestays are available.
9. The Middle East's best road trip
The winding King's Highway is one of the Middle East's most scenic road trips.
Credit Jessica Lee
Between Madaba and Petra, the King's Highway winds along the ridge edge of the Great Rift Valley.
It's filled with historic sites and offers some of the country's most startling views.
Moses saw the Promised Land at Mt. Nebo, Salome's shimmying ended with St. John the Baptist losing his head on Herod's mountain eyrie of Mukawir, and Reynald of Chatillon was defeated by Salah ud-Din at the Crusader castle of Kerak.
About halfway through the trip, a highway turnoff leads to a road that twists and turns down to the Dead Sea where you can float in waters so mineral rich that you can't sink.
10. Petra -- as if we wouldn't mention it
You can't mention Jordan without talking about Petra.
By the time you get here you'll have seen its famous Al-Khazneh (The Treasury) and Ed-Deir (The Monastery) monuments hundreds of times, splashed across tourism posters throughout Jordan.
For a different take on the Nabataean's ancient capital, you can get off the main trail to the site and onto the Bedouin back roads.
The winding trail up to the cliff ridge of Al-Habees has the best views over the central city ruins.
A stone-cut staircase trail snakes up Jabal al-Khubtha for dramatic views of The Treasury from above.

House approves $50.5 billion in aid for Sandy victims
- Aid was initially approved in two pieces
- House rejects GOP attempt to offset disaster spending
- Senate expected to vote on Sandy aid next week
WASHINGTON — The House passed a $50.5 billion disaster relief bill for victims of Superstorm Sandy on Tuesday, 78 days after the storm began pounding the Northeast.
Lawmakers voted 241-180 to approve the final bill, which includes $17 billion in emergency spending and another $33.5 billion in an amendment from Republican Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey.
"People are hurting," Frelinghuysen told lawmakers on the House floor. "The suffering and damage are real and their needs are great."
The Senate is expected to consider the disaster aid next week, after President Obama's inauguration.
The Oct. 29 storm killed more than 100 people in 10 states — 41 in New York City alone — and wiped out entire communities in coastal New York and New Jersey.
Republican Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey said more than 22,000 homes were destroyed in his state, and people "desperately need help."
The bill approved Tuesday includes $16 billion in Community Development Block Grant money critical for rebuilding, $10.9 billion for public transportation projects, and $5.4 billion for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects. It also includes $11.5 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief fund.
Other successful amendments to the bill would require FEMA to identify the recipients of all disaster relief grants and would prohibit the federal government from using the aid to acquire more land.
The House also passed an amendment from GOP Rep. Jon Runyan of New Jersey to limit fisheries aid to states damaged by Sandy.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy issued a joint statement thanking House lawmakers for a "unified, bipartisan coalition to assist millions of their fellow Americans ... at their greatest time of need."
But Tuesday's debate was filled with complaints from Northeast lawmakers about delays in the disaster aid.
"Sandy devastated the Northeast and is one of the most costly natural disasters in our nation's history," said Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey of New York. "It is imperative that we pass this package today."
The House bill, combined with the $9.7 billion the House and Senate approved Jan. 4 to help storm victims pay flood insurance claims, brings the total amount of House-passed Sandy aid to $60.2 billion.
That's almost the same amount the Senate approved last year before the 112th Congress disbanded.
The aid legislation faced opposition from House Republicans who wanted to offset it by cutting federal spending elsewhere. But lawmakers rejected a proposal by Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina to cut all federal discretionary programs by 1.6 percent.
Northeast lawmakers decried the proposal, saying Congress has never required disaster aid to be offset by spending cuts.
"To my colleagues ... who have decided that we need to change the rules of the game, shame on you," Republican Rep. Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey said on the House floor. "Florida, good luck with no more hurricanes. California, congratulations, did you get rid of the (San) Andreas fault? The Mississippi is in a drought. You think you're not going to have a flood again? Who are you going to come to when you have these things?"
Republican Rep. Peter King of Long Island, N.Y., who had angrily attacked his own party for failing to approve Sandy aid in the last Congress, sounded a less combative note on Tuesday.
"The time for recriminations is over,'' King said. "Let's stand together as Americans.''
Historically, congressional votes on federal disaster have not been partisan or even controversial. But Republican conservatives have balked at the size of the aid package.
The conservative Club for Growth had urged lawmakers to oppose the aid. There's no mechanism to pay for the aid money or make sure it's spent well, and the aid legislation is stuffed with unnecessary projects, the group said.
Republican Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma said his state has benefited from federal disaster relief in the past — particularly after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 — and failing to support the Sandy aid would by hypocritical.
"We have a national interest in getting this region back on its feet as quickly as possible, not only because it's the right thing to do, and it certainly is that, but because it's the smart thing to do,'' Cole said. "Over 13 percent of our citizens live in the four most affected states that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy, and collectively they produce over 17 percent of the wealth of this country.''

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College, where I've been since September of 2001. This page is meant to provide a quick guide to what I do when I'm working.
My research is in the field of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics, specifically in using lasers to cool samples of atoms to ultra-cold temperatures (T ~ 1-100 μK, where 1 μK is one one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero) and studying what happens in collisions between ultra-cold atoms. At these low temperatures, the behavior of atoms is much different than at room temperature, and quantum-mechanical effects can dramatically change the collisional properties.
For more on laser cooling and the related field of Bose-Einstein Condensation, check out the BEC Tutorial put together by the University of Colorado. I also teach a two-week module on laser cooling for Physics 14.
I've also become interested in using the technique of Atom Trap Trace Analysis to measure trace amounts of contamination in ultra-pure gases used for exotic particle detectors. The ATTA technique uses laser cooling to measure the abundance of extremely rare isotopes or contaminant atoms by trapping and detecting individual atoms.

Tiensestraat 41, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium
Free software in general, real-time Linux kernel variants and standard Linux kernels in particular are already widely used for control and automation projects, whether they are embedded or run on desktop computers. The Internet provides a valuable means for the evolution of such projects, and their pioneers guide the development. However, there is a lot of parallel effort going on, and also lot of complementary development in these projects (See a short list;); each single project, however, would not reach a critical mass for a breakthrough and wide acceptance in industry.
During Real-Time Linux Workshop 2002 in Boston a Birds of a Feather session on Linux and open source in control, a session on free software in control and automation was held. The goal of this session was to get people from different control and automation projects together, in order to discuss what developments could be done in common, whether or not a common real-time core is possible, what kind of funding could be found, what technical meetings could be organised, etc. The outcome was that a more detailed technical meeting is to be held, with the participation of core developers, but also end users from interested manufacturer companies.
For this reason a workshop on free software in control and automation, simply entitled "Linux in Control Workshop" will be held on May 9-10 in Leuven, Belgium. The workshop will feature design and develoment discussions on the following topics:
- real-time control core,
- PLC programming and run time environment,
- control file formats and algorithms,
- communication: CAN, Modbus, ...,
- Data aquisition, logging and tracing (Comedi, ...),
- programming tools and support,
- graphical interfaces.
Further on, discussions on the complementary or overlapping nature of projects will be held, aiming at general framework where all projects could have their place. The final result should be a framework for a comprehensive control software library, from where SoftPLC solutions can be built, or robot controllers, or DAQ and SCADA systems.
As bottom line, the goals of this meeting are intensive brainstorming to define a common roadmap for all control projects for the next two to three years.

Video Interview with Tom Felton and Bonnie Wright
Jun 09, 2009
Yesterday, we told you about the opening of the touring train for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which will be traveling all over France. Today, the BBC now has video online from that event, and includes two short new interviews with actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and actress Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley). You can also see footage of the various props including the Potions book, and some of the actually animals from the film including Fang and Hedwig. Thanks Wendy!
Also thanks to our Order partner Bonnie Wright Online we can see many photos from the event here including Bonnie Tom and James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George), as well as some character posters taken on the train courtesy of UHP. Also Emmanuel from Fantasy.Fr has some great photos here as well! Thanks guys!

|Look up editorial in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
An editorial, leading article (US) or leader (UK), is an often-unsigned opinion piece written by the senior editorial staff or publisher of a newspaper, magazine, or any other written document. Editorials may be supposed to reflect the opinion of the periodical. Australian and major United States newspapers, such as The New York Times[1] and The Boston Globe,[2] often classify editorials under the heading "opinion".
Illustrated editorials may appear in the form of editorial cartoons.[3]
Typically, a newspaper's editorial board evaluates which issues are important for their readership to know the newspaper's opinion.[4]
Editorials are typically published on a dedicated page, called the editorial page, which often features letters to the editor from members of the public; the page opposite this page is called the op-ed page and frequently contains opinion pieces by writers not directly affiliated with the publication. However, a newspaper may choose to publish an editorial on the front page. In the English-language press this occurs rarely and only on topics considered especially important; it is more common, however, in some European countries such as Spain, Italy, and France.[5]
In the field of fashion publishing, the term has been adapted to refer to photo-editorials – features with often full-page photographs on a particular theme, designer, model or other single topic, with or (as in a photo-essay) without accompanying text.[6]

German prosecutors said on Friday they had arrested two Dutch citizens suspected of involvement in a $45 million global cyber heist unveiled the previous day by U.S. authorities.
A 35-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman were caught on February 19 withdrawing 170,000 euros ($220,500) in Düsseldorf using Bank of Muscat credit cards. In total, $2.4 million dollars had been withdrawn in seven German cities, the prosecutors said.
On Thursday, U.S. prosecutors said a criminal gang had stolen a total of $45 million from two Middle Eastern banks by hacking into credit card processing firms and withdrawing money from cash machines in 27 countries.

The Equitable Access Score-card: Supporting policy process to achieve the human right to water and sanitation
The Protocol on Water and Health specifies that in pursuing the aims of access to drinking water and provision of sanitation for everyone, special consideration should be paid to ensure equitable access to these services for all members of the population.
The publication No One Left Behind: good practices to ensure equitable access to water and sanitation in the pan-European region identified three critical factors in ensuring equitable access to water and sanitation: reducing geographical disparities; overcoming the barriers faced by vulnerable and marginalized groups; and addressing affordability concerns.
The Equitable Access Score-card presented in this publication builds upon these three policy concerns. It is an analytical tool designed to help Governments and other stakeholders to establish a baseline measure of the equity of access to water and sanitation, identify related priorities, discuss further actions to be taken and evaluate progress through a process of self-assessment.
The publication contains recommendations on how to plan for the self-assessment and provides concrete examples of the benefits of using the score-card in different settings. Parties to the Protocol and other stakeholders are invited to use the Equitable Access Score-card to support the definition of targets to bridge the existing gaps in access to water and sanitation and thus to achieve the human right to water and sanitation.
The preparation of the publication was supported by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health of France.

Unofficial translations are also available in Hungarian, Macedonian, Albanian, Armenian and Azerbaijani.

Discounted Race Registration Fees Available Until Jan. 31
There are only two days left to take advantage of early-bird registration discounts for Race the Ridge and Barry's Roubaix, Maple Ridge's premier road cycling races presented by Local Ride Bike Shop.
Early-bird discounts for Barry's Roubaix – modeled after the great European Spring Classics – and Race the Ridge – a true road cycling stage race – expire on Tuesday, January 31st.
"We're encouraging riders to sign up soon, not just so they can save some money, but particularly to guarantee their spot in the race. We are offering pre-registration only, and we don't want people to be disappointed if they miss their chance to participate in these awesome races," said Local Ride Bike Shop's Barry Lyster.
Race the Ridge is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on April 28-29 and organizers are urging those wishing to experience a part of Maple Ridge's cycling history to sign up soon, as most fields will be capped at 60 riders. Lyster is expecting the Cat 3/4 men's field in particular to sell out as it did in 2011.
Barry's Roubaix, scheduled for Sunday, April 7, is special because of its inclusion of roughly 4km of the scenic Pitt Meadows Dyke System in its 10km course. The gravel surface adds an extra variable to the mostly flat loop, which riders will navigate multiple times, with the number of laps depending on race category.
Lyster is continuing to emphasize the development of cycling in the community and the province by offering youth and kid's races. In addition to a free fun kid's race, Race the Ridge and Barry's Roubaix both have U17 youth categories that will challenge Canada's future cycling stars.
Both events are also open to novices, along with Cat 3/4 and Cat 1/2 men's and women's categories.

Review of Chargers 2012 Season
Three moments we'll remember
1 --Chargers 34, Steelers 24: For the first time in their history, the Chargers won at Pittsburgh in the regular season, and it was like Norv Turner had Mike Tomlin's playbook. The Bolts jumped ahead 27-3.
A few days earlier, U-T San Diego reported that Turner and A.J. Smith would be fired after the season. The Bolts responded by winning as nine-point underdogs. Alas, the ungrateful Turner didn't award a game ball to the report's author, Kevin Acee.
2 --Gates passes Bambi: Breaking away from a Jets safety, Antonio Gates caught the pass, turned upfield and glided into the end zone for the touchdown that moved him past Hall of Famer Lance Alworth as the Chargers' all-time leader for touchdown receptions.
Afterward, Chargers players cheered as Norv Turner awarded Gates a game ball and declared the tight end a Hall of Famer. Career touchdown No. 82 also was a reminder that the 32-year-old Gates is still a playmaker.
3 --Kansas City BBQ:The Chargers lunched off six turnovers against the inept Chiefs, who would finish 2-14 and fire their GM and coach after the season.
San Diego's defense, led by Donald Butler's interception return for a touchdown, made life easy for Philip Rivers, who leaned on old friend Gates against an overmatched yet Pro Bowl-bound safety, Eric Berry.
Walking off as 17-point winners, the Chargers stood at 3-1 and alone atop the AFC West, their season's summit.
Three moments we wish we could forget
1 --Elvis is in the house: Against a tiring Broncos defense that'd played an insanely high 89 snaps the previous game, San Diego led 24-7 at home late in the third quarter. Everything changed when Broncos end Elvis Dumervil then beat Jeromey Clary (2.4 seconds) and knocked the ball from Philip Rivers (criticized later by ex-QB Steve Young).
The fallout: 1) the Broncos ran the fumble 65 yards for a TD and won the game, 2) the Broncos began an 11-0 run to a playoff bye, 3) the Bolts fell into a first-place tie (3-3) and ended up 7-9.
2 --Hey Diddle Diddle: Stop the Ravens on 4th-and-29, and the Chargers win. When Joe Flacco threw a dump pass to Ray Rice, seven Chargers were upfield and the first down marker seemed as distant as Ocean Beach.
At midfield, Rice evaded three Chargers with a high-speed, 90-degree cut. He motored upfield and powered for the needed yardage, with assists from a slow-reacting Antoine Cason and a ref not flagging Anquan Boldin for a block that concussed Eric Weddle. "Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice up the middle," the back said after Baltimore's OT victory.
3 --Crowning failure: The Chargers ran a Drew Brees pass back for a TD, taking a 16-point lead at New Orleans, pending the kick, and victory seemed theirs – wait, penalty on the play. Chargers rookie Melvin Ingram, leading with the "crown of his helmet," was flagged for hitting Brees in the chin (four games earlier, Ingram also led with his helmet in drawing a flag). Brees found a groove. San Diego, outscored 17-0, suffered a nasty defeat, starting a 1-6 skid.
Three players who surprised us
Danario Alexander: Signed by A.J. Smith off the street in October, the 6-foot-5 wideout soon thereafter became a favorite target of Philip Rivers. Alexander, fluid, confident and physical, had seven TD catches in 10 games and ranked as the NFL best mid-season pickup. Wearing a brace on a knee that had five surgeries, he wasn't speedy in initial practices at Chargers Park. But in his second game, he beat two Bucs DBs on a slant play that went for 80 yards.
Ronnie Brown: He seldom touched the ball in 2011 with the Eagles and was 30 when the Bolts signed him last summer, a move that an ESPN scout panned. Thriving in Norv Turner's offense, Brown set a career-mark for receptions (49) while leading the AFC in catch percentage. He led the Chargers in yards per carry (4.8) and averaged 7.6 per catch, best among the team's backs. He never fumbled. The No. 2 second pick of the '05 draft, Brown showed he's still a good third-down back.
Corey Liuget: Liuget's 2011 season wasn't a disappointment, even if the rookie and first-rounder had only one sack (of a backup in mop-up duty). Liuget was young for his draft class and had shown impressive durability. All the same, his improvement in 2012 was eye-catching. The end, blending power and speed, had sacks in the final five games. Teammates named him Defensive Player of the Year. "Corey should be in the Pro Bowl," Antwan Barnes said.
Three who disappointed us
Robert Meachem: A.J. Smith guaranteed $14 million to the former Saints receiver thinking he'd at least partially offset the departure of Vincent Jackson. Meachem instead delivered only 14 catches and dropped a sure TD in the 7-6 loss at Cleveland. Though Meachem wasn't a star in New Orleans, he'd made at least 40 catches every year from 2009-11 and at 28 was near the prime of his career. From training camp onward, however, Meachem didn't mesh with Philip Rivers.
Jared Gaither: Whether or not you believe the whispers at Chargers Park that Gaither packed his tent rather than press through injuries, the bottom line is that Gaither fell well short of his impressive five-game body of work last year that led GM Smith to sign him to a four-year deal in March. Had he met Smith's expectations, the Bolts would've been a lot better off at left tackle and throughout their offense.
Eddie Royal: Described in glowing terms by Norv Turner, who planned big things for him at slot receiver, Royal proved too unreliable because of groin and hamstring injuries for the Chargers to count on him from week to week. The team guaranteed $6 million to Royal, but the more reliable performer was Micheal Spurlock, whom they'd released and reclaimed during the year. It was in the final game, when he caught four passes, that Royal, 26, finally looked fast, quick and shifty.
Offensive MVP
Nobody: Chargers players' selection of Malcom Floyd as the team's top offensive player may have partly reflected the receiver's career achievements. Really, the offense didn't have an MVP. Given that defenses doubled him more than any other Bolts pass-catcher, Antonio Gates would be our choice, though his numbers lagged his career norms.
Attention to the tight end assisted Floyd and Alexander, among others. Recovered from foot ailments hindered him for three years, Gates played in 15 games, his most in three years.
Defensive MVP
Eric Weddle: An easy choice. Pro Bowl voters whiffed when they named the free safety a fifth alternate, just one year after voting him to the first team.
Weddle was terrific as a weakside run defender, often acting as an extra linebacker. In pass defense, he seldom got caught out of position. Teammates said Weddle orchestrated the secondary, which, to be sure, lacked other Pro Bowl-caliber defenders. Played in 16 games for the third year in a row.
Special teams MVP
Mike Scifres was unflappable. Despite taking hard hits in consecutive games, the punter never flinched. He had one of his best seasons.
Special mention goes to Darrell Stuckey, who was efficient at covering kicks and punts; and kicker Nick Novak, who had a strong year (and, contrary to the CBS broadcasters' commentary, wasn't responsible for 12-men penalty vs. the Jets).

NEWARK (AP) - Twins who owned a northern New Jersey pharmacy are going to federal prison for 42 months for conspiring to commit health care fraud.
Prosecutors say Robert and William Carlucci reaped at least $1/5 million by defrauding patients, Medicaid and insurance companies over 15 years. The 70-year-olds owned West Orange Pharmacy.
Officials say the twins would bill insurers for full prescriptions while giving customers fewer pills. Officials also say they substituted cheaper generic drugs for brand-name prescriptions without telling patients or insurers.

rave : a gathering in a large area where repetitive music playing and recreational drugs taken.
HistoryMainstream raves, sometimes described by the acronym Radical Audio Visual Experience, began in the late 1980s as a product of, reaction to, and rebellion against, trends in popular music, nightclub culture, and commercial radio.In an effort to maintain distance and secrecy from the mainstream club scene (or perhaps for lack of affordable, receptive venues), warehouses, rental halls, and outside locations most often served as raves' venues. In an effort to control and curtail rave parties, some police and governmental bodies effectively outlawed raves in some areas. Such laws consequently forced regional electronic dance music events to move to formal venues, such as nightclubs and amphitheatres. Some venues and jurisdictions additionally prohibited certain types of rave fashion and paraphernalia.Early raves were completely do it yourself; only a small number of people contributed to event production and promotion. Self-styled production and promotion companies have increasingly organized raves; the "companies" were usually unofficial or loosely defined. The companies promote their events by creating and distributing fliers and online bulletins.As law enforcement agencies increasingly began paying attention to raves, concealing a party's location became important to an event's success. To that end, event organizers sometimes either promoted events solely by word-of-mouth, or would only reveal the date and location of the event to subscribers of an electronic mailing list or via voicemail. Some even went so far as to provide a series of clues or map checkpoints that ultimately led to the location of the rave.What is a rave? A rave is an all night event, where people go to dance, socialise, get high and generally have fun in an uninhibited way with other likeminded people. Some say it's about the creation of a community and re-connecting with something perceived as lost. Others just say it's about necking loads of pills and getting wasted with your mates in a field. Where? Usually in a derelict warehouse, a club, a beach, a field, an aircraft hangar or a sports arena - anywhere you could fit a massive sound system and a lot of people. In the rave heydays of the late '80s, the larger events attracted tens of thousands of people. The venue would often remain secret up until hours before the party was to begin as a way of keeping the police away. Organisers would even sometimes have backup sites in mind in case the cops sniffed them out - which they did more and more often. Origins? The term rave first came into use in Britain in the late 50's referring to the wild bohemian parties of the time. It was then briefly revived by the mods, but didn't come back into fashion until the illegal London warehouse party scene in the mid eighties. However it is likely that the term 'rave' came from Jamaican usage rather than a revival of any previous usage in Britain. Who? Rave crowds were and still are mostly (but not exclusively) young from all sections of society .What is rave music? Rave music is what most people now call 'dance' music, or as some government wonk put it, music with a distinctive 'series of repetitive beats'. Early ravers discovered that the combination of ecstasy and music with fast, repetitive beats was a marriage made in disco heaven. The big raves have a line-up of bigtime DJs as well as some live performances by dance music bands. Why did rave culture take such a hold of the UK in the 1980s? There are many theories why the UK went nuts for raving in the late 80s and beyond. It happened during a period of major consumerism and individualism. Margaret Thatcher was telling everybody to look after number one (famously saying there was "no such thing as society"). There was bound to be a reaction to this and it helped that a bunch of English DJs had just got back from Ibiza where they had experienced ecstasy and rave culture first hand. They brought it to the young people of Britain and within a year rave culture had flourished. Instead of money and power, rave called for empathy, intimacy, spirituality and the joy of losing yourself in the crowd. Some other random thoughts: Doug Rushkoff, author of Ciberia, observed that the majority of house music runs at the speed of 120 bpm (the rate of the foetal heartbeat), while Simon Reynolds has noted that raves mimic the atmosphere of a nursery with its use of kids' TV themes, sampled baby vocals, dummies, baggy unisex clothes, and the camouflaging of drugs as sweets. Think about that next time you go dancing. And then came the end By the early '90s, the Tory government, the police, the tabloid press and middle England had all had enough of rave culture. The government acted, passing the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994). Sections 63, 64 & 65 addressed the issue of raves: A 'rave' is defined as a gathering of 100 plus people, at which amplified music is played which is likely to cause serious distress to the local community, in the open air and at night. These sections give the police the power to order people to leave the land if they're believed to be: Preparing to hold a rave (two or more people) Waiting for a rave to start (10 or more) Actually attending a rave (10 or more)Ignoring this direction, or returning to the land within the next week, are both offences, liable to 3 months' imprisonment and/or a £2,500 fine. Section 65 lets any uniformed constable who believes a person is on their way to a rave within a 5-mile radius to stop them and direct them away from the area - failure to comply can lead to a maximum fine of £1000. The Act effectively killed off free parties or events not licensed through local government. Aciiid is dead, long live Aciiid.1985:1985 - The Music - Acid House The HistoryLike it or not, house was first and foremost a direct descendant of disco. Disco had already been going for ten years when the first electronic drum tracks began to appear out of Chicago, and in that time it had already suffered the slings and arrows of merciless commercial exploitation, dilution and racial and sexual prejudice which culminated in the 'disco sucks' campaign. In one bizarrely extreme incident, people attending a baseball game in Chicago's Komishi Park were invited to bring all their unwanted disco records and after the game they were tossed onto a massive bonfire. Disco eventually collapsed under a heaving weight of crass disco versions of pop records and an ever-increasing volume of records that were simply no good. But the underground scene had already stepped off and was beginning to develop a new style that was deeper, rawer and more designed to make people dance. Disco had already produced the first records to be aimed specifically at DJs with extended 12" versions that included long percussion breaks for mixing purposes and the early eighties proved a vital turning point.However, it was not until the mid to late 1980s that a wave of psychedelic and other electronic dance music, most notably acid house and techno, emerged and caught on in the clubs, warehouses and free-parties around London and later Manchester. These early raves were called the Acid House Summers. 1990s: United KingdomRaves began to expand into a global phenomenon around 1989-1992, mostly on a grassroots basis: people who had travelled to attend the first raves in each region began setting up promotion companies, often informally, to organize their own parties. By the mid-1990s, major corporations were sponsoring events and adopting the scene's music and fashion for their "edgier" advertising, making the scene become more commercialized, in direct contrast to the anti-establishment groups who birthed the rave scene during the 1980s.1990s: EuropeRave culture was becoming part of a new youth movement. DJs and electronic music producers such as Westbam proclaimed the existence of a "raving society" and promoted electronic music as legitimate competition for rock and roll. Indeed, electronic dance music and rave subculture became mass movements. Raves had tens of thousands of attendants, youth magazines featured styling tips and television networks launched music magazines on house and techno music. The annual Love Parade festivals in Berlin attracted more than one million partygoers between 1997 and 2000.Raves had also spread to far away places, such as Australia. In Australia the Melbourne Shuffle dance style has evolved over the last 15 years. American dancers started doing liquid dancing at this time.2000s:By the early 2000s, the terms "rave" and "raver" had fallen out of favor among many people in the electronic dance music community, particularly in Europe. Many Europeans returned to identifying themselves as "clubbers" rather than ravers. It became unfashionable among many electronic dance music affectionados to describe a party as a "rave," perhaps because the term had become overused and corrupted. Some communities preferred the term "festival," while others simply referred to "parties." True raves, such as "Mayday," continued to occur for a time in Central Europe, with less constrictive laws allowing raves to continue in some countries long after the death of rave in the United Kingdom. Moreover, traditional rave paraphernalia, such as facemasks, pacifiers, and glowsticks ceased to be popular.In the northeastern United States, during the mid-2000s, the popularity of Goa (or psy-trance) increased tremendously. This is due to the fact that acceptance was never questioned in the sub-rave culture of Goa, and that this culture represents their selves as a community not a scene. With the warehouse party scene, the trend is also restarting; This contrary belief in the early 2000's was that 2002 would mark the end of the rave (known as party scene at the time), and the scene was over. 2006:2006 is being marked as the renaissance of the underground electronic culture.so, ............... let's discuss on rave history. fyi, Wikipedia kan bisa di-edit ... ada yg mo sumbang satu/dua paragraf mengenai RAVE / CLUB SCENE di Indonesia?ato kita barengan kasih input di thread ini, trus dirangkum .. dan masukin ke wikipedia?sepertinya butuh bantuan dr yg senior neh... *just an idea.

The origins of the ADVENTURE TEAM date back to 1970 when the US Joint Chiefs of Staff began funding a secret project to train elite members of the US military in air, land and sea reconnaissance. This new team of mega-soldiers was given the code name "The Adventure Team". Each member was also given special hi-tech equipment (including vehicles) and they were trained to work alone in high pressure situations against various enemy forces... including M.A.R.S.

In Government Shutdown, Few Parallels With Most Recent One
Impasse in 1995-96 Was Different in Many Ways, Especially in the Motivation of the Players
The country's most recent government shutdown, 17 years ago, offers at best a rudimentary road map for what may happen in the current standoff.
The pivotal moment ending the 1995-96 impasse—which encompassed two separate shutdowns—came in a way that jarred many at the time, and would be even more surprising now. A centrist Republican, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, broke ranks with the GOP House and declared, on the Senate floor, "Enough is enough."

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is upgrading its Retail Sales System (RSS), the system it uses to sell hunting, fishing, snowmobile, off-road vehicle and a variety of other licenses. In order to complete the upgrade, the DNR will take its licensing system offline from Monday, Feb. 18, at 11: 30 p.m. through Thursday, Feb. 21, at 1 p.m. The upgrades will take place in time for the new license year that begins on March 1, 2013.
This will affect license sales at retail stores, as well as online license sales through the DNR's e-license website.
"While there is never an ideal time to take the system offline, we have planned this upgrade to take place during a time when it would have the least impact," said Denise Gruben, manager of the DNR's Licensing and Reservations. "We are at the end of the 2012 license year, and most people have already purchased their 2012 licenses, most of which are valid through March 31, 2013."
The system upgrades include a complete change of the behind-the-scenes operating system and servers. "Changes in technology and suggestions from license agents – the businesses that sell licenses at the counter – prompted these much-needed upgrades," said Gruben.
Those who have not yet purchased for the 2012 license year and wish to participate in hunting and fishing during the specific offline time period are encouraged to plan ahead and buy beforehand.
Customers who wish to buy snowmobile permits during the 2.5-day offline period can buy preprinted permits at many snowmobile dealerships. The Michigan Snowmobile Association website includes a list of license agents who carry the preprinted snowmobile permits. Many of the dealerships also carry the preprinted ORV permits. Customers may also call a DNR operation service center, field office or customer service at 517-373-1204 for help finding a nearby dealer.
Sales of 2012 items will resume at 1 pm on Feb. 21, 2013.
The scheduled down time is part of a multi-year, multi-phase system upgrade that included modernization of the retail sales equipment last year. Gruben said these system upgrades will pave the way for system enhancements that will determine how quickly and efficiently license agents sell to the sporting public. Some improvements will take place on March 1, 2013, while others are planned for the summer and for the 2014 license year.
The DNR is sending materials to the license agents to prepare for the down time and system upgrades.
For more information about the upgrades, please call DNR Customer Service during regular business hours at 517-373-1204 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com

Today is the day, the very last of 2011. We will say our farewells to this year tonight with friends, sharing in some sweet desserts, champagne, and a few rounds of high stakes poker at our place. OK, not high stakes, more like free chips on the house for auld lang syne, but it will be very fun and someone will be declared the Annual Poker Champion sometime after midnight while the wee ones slumber into the night having fallen asleep on the fold out sofa in front of a movie.
2011 has been quite a year, and I can honestly say, one of my favorites if not most favorite ever. The ability to create, build, and write about what I love is a dream come true for me, and the list of people to thank who have made it possible is a mile long so I shall save it for more personal correspondence.
But I cannot say goodbye to 2011 without publicly thanking all of you who visit and subscribe, who link and comment, who tweet and share your projects and stories with me. It means more than you know when you connect with me the way you do, whether it's on Facebook, through link parties or comments, or in private emails. I cannot get enough of a marvelous DIY project, great makeover, or stylish creation and witnessing all the amazingness that is out there among this talented DIY and home decorating community literally keeps me up at night. I look forward to continuing this crazy fun blogging journey in the new year with all of you and I can assure you it brings much excitement!
So tonight let's toast to all of the success, health, happiness, and harmony that 2012 will bring to us all. To kick off the new year, I'm excited to be a part of this great series starting on Monday featuring some of your favorite bloggers.
The Blog Hop will begin on Monday at Nester's place and the five of us mentioned will be sharing our insight through the week on topics from monetization to photography to finding balance. The series continues on Tuesday with Sarah, Wednesday with Jen, Thursday with Marian, and Friday with me, I know you'll love it!
Wishing you all very Happy New Year !!

Frost & Sullivan Lauds Webroot® for Rapidly Evolving To Meet Dynamic Customer Needs in the Endpoint Security Products Market
12 Nov, 2012, 13:17 GMT
- Its proactive technologies can not only thwart against new strains of malware but also remediate attacks
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the endpoint security products market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Webroot® with the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Product Differentiation Excellence Award for creating an innovative means of protecting against malware while appearing seamless to the end user.
Implementing strategies focused on product differentiation offers strong competitive advantages in the commoditized endpoint security market that faces increasingly complex and sophisticated threats. Discovering alternative means of detection and remediation, while maintaining device performance standards is crucial for success. Webroot has stepped up to address these needs with its Webroot SecureAnywhere™ product suite.
Webroot SecureAnywhere products deploy a new cloud-based architecture that reduces the impact on client memory as well as scan times to less than two minutes, all while eliminating the need for signature threat updates. Webroot SecureAnywhere includes a range of products for both consumers and business, providing features including cloud-based antimalware, firewall, network monitoring, antiphishing, browser sandboxing, malicious URL blocking, system cleaner, password encryption, lost mobile protection, and web management.
"Since the key trends driving the evolution of the threat landscape include mobility, virtualization, and cloud services, Webroot has created the SecureAnywhere portfolio of endpoint security products to meet the need for protection against unknown threats on a variety of devices operating in varied environments," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst, Martha Vazquez. "The solutions offer an innovative approach to protect against malware threats and zero-day attacks, relying on file pattern and behavior recognition through a cloud-based solution."
Webroot SecureAnywhere locates "bad files" and creates a file hash that is sent to the Webroot Intelligence Network to be compared against a library of known malware files. If the hash file is new, it is sent for behavior and analysis categorization. If it is bad, execution is blocked. If a determination is not possible immediately, the file is allowed to run on the endpoint, but all its actions are monitored and recorded.
Further, the integrated shields in the products prevent any bad behavior while an unknown file is being monitored. If the file is later determined to be bad, SecureAnywhere will automatically rollback any changes the file made to the system to the last known good state to effectively remediate the threat without the need to reimage the system.
"Unlike traditional endpoint management, Webroot SecureAnywhere device management takes place within the cloud rather than through on-premise devices and heavy client for updates, thus preventing service interruptions for end users," noted Martha Vazquez. "This also means that Webroot's SecureAnywhere product requires no hardware or software maintenance and has no need to provision software or appliances to manage security."
Webroot's user-centric protection means that policies can be set by the administrator and customized by groups or individual users at a single location with a single interface. One master account is used to manage all device functions; sub accounts may be added under the master account for individual families and businesses.
Webroot has traditionally focused on the consumer market and has tailored its cloud-based protection with customers' time and budget constraints in mind, offering a solution that boasts superior performance at a minimal price. Earlier this year, Webroot launched a product targeted at the business segment with more advanced management capabilities to suit the unique needs of a corporate environment.
Webroot's products have received top ratings from widely respected third parties and have been widely adopted by millions of users globally. The company has leveraged channel partnerships with more than 1,000 electronic and superstores to grow revenues by more than 30 percent over the past year. Double-digit growth is expected to continue for the next two years because of new technology deployment and a strong focus on the business segment.
Based on these achievements, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present Webroot with the 2012 Product Differentiation Award in the endpoint security market. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with unique features/functionality as well as high quality for customers with complex needs. The award lauds the degree of the products customization and the fit for evolving market trends, which ultimately results in a strong brand perception of the product as being unique.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
About Webroot
Webroot is committed to taking the misery out of Internet security with its suite of Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ offerings for consumers and businesses. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Colorado, Webroot is the largest privately held security organization based in the United States. Webroot has operations across North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. For more information, visit http://www.webroot.com or call +1-800-772-9383.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
After two "failed" marriages, music legend and Chief Creative Officer of SONY music, Clive Davis reveals his sexual orientation as a bisexual male in his new memoir, "The Soundtrack of My Life." At 81, Davis tells Piers Morgan that relationships and sexuality don't have to be black and white.
"For the first time, having failed in marriage twice, not related at all to sex, I opened myself up to the possibility of having a relationship with a person rather than a gender, and that's what I turned to."
He believes his decision was a result of his prior relationships, and disagrees with the general attitude toward bisexuality as being "you're either gay, you're straight or you're lying."
"With a healthy degree of skepticism, I'm here to say that bisexuality does exist," he says.
A supporter of same-sex marriage, though he doesn't plan to get married a third time, Davis says he is pleased with President Barack Obama's affirmative position on the matter and the public opinion polls, calling the recent progress "the right thing to do."
Tune in tonight at 9 for the full interview with Clive Davis as he reflects on his life path, from his career to his personal relationships.

I'm looking for Gerg, have heard about him but haven't found him yet. I met a Greg (another blue RT) but not the same guy. Maybe I'll find him at a meeting in the near future. Bfield is a fairly small town--he can run but he can't hide.
Yours is a beaut, too. Sorry to read about what happend to your previous grey. While perusing the brochure and website, I was convinced that blue was the only color I could rule out for sure. I just couldn't decide btwn red, silver, or grey. When I got to the showroom, blue was clearly the only choice. Brian Bell--the salesperson--insisted on wheeling it out into the sun and I was sold. And it was the only blue they had in stock with the cylinder head guards already installed. How could I say no?
Hope to encounter both of you on the road one day.

There are 11 megadeltas with an area greater than 10,000 km2 (Table 10.10) in the coastal zone of Asia that are continuously being formed by rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau (Milliman and Meade, 1983; Penland and Kulp, 2005) These megadeltas are vital to Asia because these are home to millions of people, especially the seven megacities that are located in these deltas (Nicholls, 1995; Woodroffe et al., 2006). The megadeltas, particularly the Zhujiang delta, Changjiang delta and Huanghe delta, are also economically important, accounting for a substantial proportion of China's total GDP (Niou, 2002; She, 2004). Ecologically, the Asian megadeltas are critical diverse ecosystems of unique assemblages of plants and animals located in different climatic regions (IUCN, 2003b; ACIA, 2005; Macintosh, 2005; Sanlaville and Prieur, 2005). However, the megadeltas of Asia are vulnerable to climate change and sea-level rise that could increase the frequency and level of inundation of megadeltas due to storm surges and floods from river drainage (Nicholls, 2004; Woodroffe et al., 2006) putting communities, biodiversity and infrastructure at risk of being damaged. This impact could be more pronounced in megacities located in megadeltas where natural ground subsidence is enhanced by human activities, such as in Bangkok in the Chao Phraya delta, Shanghai in the Changjiang delta, Tianjin in the old Huanghe delta (Nguyen et al., 2000; Li et al., 2004a; Jiang, 2005; Li et al., 2005; Woodroffe et al., 2006). Climate change together with human activities could also enhance erosion that has, for example, caused the Lena delta to retreat at a rate of 3.6 to 4.5 m/yr (Leont'yev, 2004) and has affected the progradation and retreat of megadeltas fed by rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau (Li et al., 2004b; Thanh et al., 2004; Shi et al., 2005; Woodroffe et al., 2006). The adverse impacts of salt-water intrusion on water supply in the Changjiang delta and Zhujiang delta, mangrove forests, agriculture production and freshwater fish catch, resulting in a loss of US$125x106 per annum in the Indus delta could also be aggravated by climate change (IUCN, 2003a, b; Shen et al., 2003; Huang and Zhang, 2004).
Externally, the sediment supplies to many megadeltas have been reduced by the construction of dams and there are plans for many more dams in the 21st century (Chapter 6, Box 6.3; Woodroffe et al., 2006). Reduction of sediment supplies make these systems much more vulnerable to climate change and sea-level rise. When considering all the non-climate pressures, there is very high confidence that the group of populated Asian megadeltas is highly threatened by climate change and responding to this threat will present important challenges (see also Chapter 6, Box 6.3). The sustainability of megadeltas in Asia in a warmer climate will rest heavily on policies and programmes that promote integrated and co-ordinated development of the megadeltas and upstream areas, balanced use and development of megadeltas for conservation and production goals, and comprehensive protection against erosion from river flow anomalies and sea-water actions that combines structural with human and institutional capability building measures (Du and Zhang, 2000; Inam et al., 2003; Li et al., 2004b; Thanh et al., 2004; Saito, 2005; Wolanski, 2007; Woodroffe et al., 2006).

Jake Gyllenhaal is making the press rounds to promote his upcoming movie "Love and Other Drugs" -- and he may break some sort of record for sex-related sports metaphors in the process.
While discussing the film last night on the "Late Show with David Letterman," Gyllenhaal compared the carefully choreographed sex scenes with co-star Anne Hathaway to football. When he made a crack about the "defensive end" the show's host blanched.
"Oh, my God," Letterman gasped. "I have never in my entire life heard anything quite that ... bizarre."
The sexually charged film, based on the book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman," apparently features the two A-listers in quite a few, um, tender embraces.
"For 65 percent of the movie we don't have our clothes on," Gyllenhaal told Letterman.
That's something else that caught Letterman off guard. Especially when Gyllenhaal dropped trou.
"You know -- that didn't occur to me," the late night great said.
"Usually, when people have sex both people have to take their clothes off, David," the actor pointed out.
"I know, but for some reason I didn't see that coming," Letterman responded.
From the sound of it, there are plenty of surprises in "Love." The film is out next week -- at which point we'll find out how accurate Gyllenhaal's metaphor really is.
