Brendan Rodgers 'proud' as Celtic beat Leipzig
Uefa Europa League Group B: Celtic 2 RB Leipzig 1
BRENDAN Rodgers claimed Celtic's 2-1 Europa League win over RB Leipzig was his best European victory at Parkhead since becoming boss.
In a game the Scottish champions realistically needed to win to keep qualification hopes alive, left-back Kieran Tierney's strike on 11 minutes gave them a deserved interval lead.
The Bundesliga side, who had beaten Celtic 2-0 at the Red Bull Arena last month, levelled in the 78th minute through striker Jean-Kevin Augustin but only a minute later the Hoops' French forward Odsonne Edouard restored their lead to take the Scottish champions on to six points in Group B and level with Ralf Rangnick's side, who have a better goal difference and head-to-head.
Celtic travel to Trondheim to play Rosenborg on November 29 before hosting Salzburg, who have maximum points, in their last game.
Asked if it had been the best Celtic Park win since he took over in 2016, Rodgers said: "I couldn't argue against that if you look at the level of the opponent and our performance against that.
"People see pressure as negative, I said that the other day. This was a pressure game that we needed to win but you seen the positivity in the team.
"What I was pleased with was the performance against a very good side. We played with no fear.
"We brought our aggression and identity to the game. We've seen the team returning to that in the last seven or eight games and it's nice to see we can do it not just domestically but against one of the best teams in Europe.
"It was a fantastic victory and one I am very proud of."
Rodgers insists his players were inspired by another big European night at Celtic Park.
He said: "If you have never been to Celtic Park before it is one of the most intimidating arenas in European football.
"Some of the best teams in the world have come here over the years and have suffered.
"The emotion in the stadium really helps us as a team and the supporters are very proud of their players.
"Tonight was a very emotional game, our players fed off that and the supporters helped us to the victory."
Rangnick believes his side need to win their final two Group B matches to go through.
He said: "After we conceded the goal we didn't play well. The second-half was better, we were dominant and dangerous but if you equalise in the 80th minute you can't concede after it.
"With a draw one more win would have been enough but now we need a win in Salzburg and probably in Trondheim so we are not happy with the loss.
"I am especially frustrated with the second goal we conceded."

See another topic
Translate LupQ - QuickSet edition of Lucid Puppy
See the first desktop. Normally you reach here automatically.
You can change the loacle, timezone, keyboad at a time by GUI. If you change only the keyboard, you need not restart X.
On the LupQ-508, the e-mail client Sylpheed and the chat client Ayttm removed. The IceWM window manager and some applications are removed from Lucid Puppy 5.x. The main reason is i like the main release to be simple and to avoid confusion for the users. See the detail at CHENGES.
does not contain Adobe Flash Player.
Install the libflashplayer PET
from here
Sylpeed and IceWM available
from here
Language packages for some languages are also available
from here
You can install additional pets form the quickpet and/or puppy-lcid repogitory but do not install 'Update Lupu510-003' nor 'UpdateLupu511-002'. They are already fixed on LupQ.
Upgrading from old lupqsave of lupq-00x, you may get dependency warning, like gtk+, tk, but no harm ignore them.
is now at beta stage. It is expected to work stable, but you are strongly encouraged to report on this topic.
: use lupu_devx_510.sfs available from
. But you need to rename it as like
(remove '_' before '510') to use on lupq. Additional sfs files can be placed at root(/mnt/home) or at subdirectory(/mnt/home/<psubdir>).
Make your custom LupQ on USB pen drive
Import all the emails and bookmarks
WHATS ADD the QuickSet edition on Lucid Puppy 5.1:
Playdayz,01micko, WhoDo and the team produced the latest and brilliant release, Lucid Puppy version 5.1.
Lupu-5.1 is brilliant but is half way. i intend to offer its modification 'QuickSet Edition' as 'LupQ'.
I am appreciated if this one can be one of the basis of next Lucid Puppy and Pupplets.
Graphical boot menu with 'Safe mode'(no X). Or, how you can type 'puppy pfix=nox' or 'puppy pfix=ram' if your keyboard layout is different from 'us'?
Keyboard layout menu at 'Safe mode'(no X).(lupq-006 and later)
New GUI country wizard easy to set locale, time zone and keyboard.
Desktops are I18N ready.
Grub4Dos with GUI allows any file system Puppy supports(fat/ntfs/ext2/ext3/ext4/riserfs). This enables to install lupq on PCs, commonly in Windows pre-installed ones, without linux partitions.
Frugal installer, easy to install.
ACPID supports power button and lid of notebook PC's.(lupq-004 and later)
Winfonts, an aid for PC's dual booted with Windows. (lupq-004 and later)
The boot menu:
Try 'Safe mode' if you failed with direct desktop. The 'Safe mode' reaches the console, appears another menu to select your keyboard layout. Then you can type 'xorgwizard' to choose proper driver.
WHATS REMOVED from Lucid Puppy 5.1:
Removed translations of some major applications such as gnumeric and abiword - will be provided as additional packages.
Adobe flash Player - can be instaled via internet.
Some development files from /usr/lib
Documents like changelog from /usr/share/doc
Some graphic files in /usr/share/pixmas reduced size.
The diet results 114MB(lupq-507) .iso file, 16MB less than lupu-510.iso.
The size of main sfs file is important to run on 256MB RAM PC. The lupq-507.sfs is 109MB.
Additional SFS files
Lupq reads additional sfs files both from root(/mnt/home) and from subdirectory(/mnt/home/<psubdir>), same as the most recent woof.
But also Lupq uses special init script in initrd which is delived from the 431JP. Significant differences are in reading main and additional SFS files. One of the importance, the additional overrides main sfs if the sfs has conflict files.
Puppy Linux 431JP release note
section 'Differences from original version', item 2.
My intention is mainly because of two reasons.
Lupu-5.1 goes directly to the desktop. It is happy for most of people. But not so happy for those using keyboard other than 'us'. They have to go to console and go through all the process, locale, timezone, keyboard and X.
Lupu-5.1 has some translations for some languages, and it becomes fat... lupu-510.sfs has 126MB in size. It may be critical runnig on PCs with 256MB RAM.
I made
for the solution of these. And i thought that the main CD need not contain the translations anymore.
For the first time, i tried to remove only the translations which cannot display, such as CJK languages. But also i realized the translations for the rest languages still need more files. For example, the locale fr_FR makes the gnumeric menu into french but it still speaks 'Yes/No' instead of 'Oui/Non'. if i add those files, the size of the Live CD will increase 10-20MB more. It must be critical for the PC's with 256MB RAM.
In the QS edition, major translations, abiword, gnumeric, etc. are removed. Some translations, for example quickpet are still built in.
I made another diet to the original and the size of lupq-507.sfs is 109MB, whereas lupu-510.sfs has 126MB.
Main concept on the direct desktop, see my previous post:

I hope we might find an improved boot up menu in Lucid 5.2
At first I was going to say without the Windows option
but then I dual booted for many months before
kicking the Windows habit years ago - so maybe that is worth considering . . .
For me having an Ubuntu option would be useful
as I use Ubuntu Lucid Lynx aprox 10% of the time from HD to complement
my boot from Puppy Lucid DVD routine (I never bother with even a frugal install of Puppy)
Hope you are able to address some of the issues already raised in subsequent posts
Personally I will be sticking with the 'excellent' Puppy Lucid 5.1

Post subject: Test lupq 002 and fr_FR, azerty
Hi shinobar,
TEST lupq002 :
'azerty' and fr_FR (France)
1) I dont get my locale (fr_FR) ; for example geany icon is 'edit'.
Idem for 'Start, Menu...
Only the QuickPet (01micko) is French language.
2) Keyboard :
-- If I choose 'azerty' (that I did in others Puppies) my keyboard is died.
Keys did not run and always the numlock led was on 'switch off'
New CD-Live...
I choosed 'fr' (and not 'azerty'):
My keyboard was good ( key a => a) but always... no fr_FR locale
With Lupu 510 and your new lang_support_all-1.5.sfs it's the same thing : died keys
But with lupu the 1-4.sfs was good.
3) The pupsave : fonts are too big....impossible to write a name ( same problem with the old lupu 508
If that can help you.

Tnx for testing report.
1)As for the translations, it is expected behavior. Lupq has not major translations.
2) confirmed 'azerty' does not work. Will you try the attached? extract and find /usr/sbin/keymap-set, override the existing file. /usr/share/i18n/layouts does not need to replace.
3) The console font problem is puzzling and needs more investigating.

hi shinobar,
Test (without Nvidia Driver GeForce 7600)
I followed your advice and unpack the tar.gz
the '/usr/sbin/keymap-set' file did not exist but I put it in sbin.
... I rebooted with the same pupsave.
Keyboard and Locale 'fr' for Geany, Opera, Gnumeric are right.
Thanks for your work.

Hello shinobar,
Thank you for that version of Lupu.
A few small thing.
I had to change line 9 (#export LANG=C instead of export LANG=C) in /usr/sbin/gparted_shell, to get Gparted in French.
Otherwise no problem except that we must first accept the US keyboard and restart x before to choose the French keyboard.
I can make a package of the french .mo files for french users, if needed.

merci esmourguit,
As for some shell scripts and language packs, i am planning them as the next step.(EDIT: starts from lupq-003)

even after you install keymap-set-20100812?
The first desktop is 'us' keyboard. then install keymap-set-20100812.pet, choose any of keyboad from the countrywizard... it shall change the keyboard settings on the fly, no?
If you change the timezone and/or locale, a dialog pops up asking 'You need to restart X...', but at this point of time (you can reply 'No' for the dialog), the keyboard already works as the new settings. You can confirm it on the virtual terminal or another applications.
Isn't it...?

Post subject: Main and sub-menu on lupq-003
The update release of lupq-003 has some translations of Main menu.
And the sub-menu is like that of Fatdog64.
I was wondering why the submenu on lupu is half broken, and they are regular on fatdog64.
The reason was the version of libgnome-menu: Lupu uses libgnome-menu.so.
, and fatdog /libgnome-menu.so
I rolled back the libgnome-menu2 to the same as fatdog.
Quirky uses more older version, libgnome-menu.so
. The submenu shows in quirky is the same as classic puppies:
Which do you like better?

Post subject: French pack
Even maybe esmourguit and another guys will make better one, but I made a french language package for the first test of language support on lupq.
Boot up
(Not essential but recommended) Reboot to make lupqsave first.
Run countrywizard and arrange locale and etc.
Restart X to enable ROX-filer translation
The lang_pack also has translations for firefox and for seamonkey2, but i don't know an easy way to enable them...
Can be complex, but...
After installing firefox or seamonkey2, use command '
' or '
You can manually edit the
, but also you can do next procedure:
Click the globe icon,'Choose default browser', on the tray(the bar at the bottom of the desktop).
Click 'netsurf', then netsurf lauches. Close.
Click the 'Choose default browser' and click 'firefox'(or 'seaminkey2'.
The firefox should launche with french translation.
Even after of this performed, launching the browser from the menu is still english. If you like to change, manually edit the file

Mental Health Community Expresses Concern with Proposed NCRMD Changes
Feb 08, 2013, 14:30 ET
Changes must consider the unique needs of people with mental illness
WINNIPEG, Feb. 8, 2013 /CNW/ - Today, the Government of Canada tabled a Bill proposing changes to the Not Criminally Responsible on account of Mental Disorder (NCRMD) provisions of the Criminal Code. The Bill proposes, amongst other things, that annual reviews for individuals deemed NCRMD of a violent crime can be pushed to every three years and that "high risk" NCRMD accused cannot be considered for release by a Review Board until their designation is revoked by a court.
Given the significance of passing such changes, Canada's mental health community has come together to form a working alliance in an effort to strengthen their voice on this critical matter - which is of vital importance to the mental health community and the one in five Canadians with mental illness.
The alliance strongly believes it has the knowledge, resources and tools that will allow the Government to move ahead with NCRMD changes that will take into account the need to protect the public from dangerous persons, while addressing the therapeutic needs of these mentally disordered offenders so as to mitigate risk and promote recovery.
"The Government of Canada has made progress in enhancing public understanding of mental health and mental illness with important initiatives such as the development of the Mental Health Commission. However, these proposed changes are inconsistent with its work to-date," said Chris Summerville, Alliance Facilitator and Chief Executive Officer, Schizophrenia Society of Canada. "These changes will unnecessarily heighten the public's fears, increase negative stigma around mental illness and ultimately undermine the reintegration of NCRMD individuals without increasing public safety."
In Canada's most populated province, Ontario, only .001% of individuals charged with Criminal Code violations were adjudicated NCRMD. Recidivism rates for NCRMD individuals range from 2.5 to 7.5%. These numbers are far lower than that of federal offenders in the regular justice system, at a rate of 41 to 44%. And despite what Canadians are lead to believe, the seriousness of the crime committed does not equate to the likelihood for the offender to reoffend or even his/her ability to improve his/her mental health state and live a normal, healthy life.
The alliance recognizes that the government's review of the mental disorder provisions of the Criminal Code is important to many Canadians, and it also recognizes the fact that the public has legitimate reasons to be concerned about safety, however the group is working together to ensure that this public policy is informed by the latest evidence based knowledge.
The working alliance has requested a meeting with the Minister of Justice to discuss theses proposed changes. Implementing such legislation cannot be in the best interest of Canadians without consulting and working with the mental health community. Canadians want a working mental health system and not an out-dated approach.

If you've been around these parts before, you already know that I'm a total Anglophile. I've lived in the UK twice, loved it and still miss it constantly. It's my dream to go back and live there again at some point. I finished a Union Jack quilt last summer in bright, primary colors. It was fun to try a new version in pastel colors. I've also modified the Union Jack pattern.
This bag was made with fabrics from the new Kensington collection for Riley Blake, due out in July. The prints in this collection are SO pretty and I love the way they play together. If you sign up for this class at Fabric Fest, kits will be available for $35.
I will also be teaching three other classes at Fabric Fest including introductions to Modern Quilting as well as a class about using up those scraps. (A constant battle.) For more pictures from teachers and class teasers visit these other stops on the tour. Some of them even include Riley Blake fabric giveaways. There are some amazingly talented teachers involved with this event. I am still feeling a little bit out of my league!

Every year, a third of the subject areas are re-assessed. For 2017, these are the subject areas Business Administration; Law; Social Studies; Economics; Business Informatics; Business Administration and Engineering; Business Law; and Management, Business and Economics. According to various key indicators, the CHE allocates German universities to a top group, a middle group, and a bottom group.
The School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen University has again attained excellent results. Amongst other things, according to the sectors "student assessments" and "study facts", the School was ranked in the top group for Business Administration for the following indicators:
- Academic feasibility of programs,
- Support during studies,
- International orientation of the Bachelor program,
- Completion of Bachelor program within an appropriate timeframe.
- Support at the onset of studies.
In the sector "research facts", the School was particularly convincing with regard to the criteria of third-party funding per academic staff member, doctoral degrees, and international publications per academic staff member. The school did not rank among the bottom group for any of the indicators.
For Business Administration and Engineering, RWTH Aachen University was particularly successful with regard to the following criteria:
- Overall study situation
- Academic feasibility,
- Support during studies,
- International orientation.
The CHE ranking reflects student satisfaction with RWTH Aachen University and is a particular acknowledgement of our high standards in teaching and research.
AACSB ReaccreditationCopyright: AACSB
AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is considered worldwide to be the most renowned international accreditation organization for business education. The School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen University was awarded reaccreditation by AACSB on February 11, 2016 and will retain this distinction for the next five years; initial accreditation was awarded five years ago in April 2011.
In alignment with the new set of AACSB standards, which was introduced in 2013, the AACSB review team focussed particularly during their visit on the School's pursuit of innovation, the impact of the School's teaching and research activities on the community, and the continuous engagement of the School's teaching staff.
Prof. Kittsteiner, Dean of the School of Business and Economics, sums the situation up: "Our having gained AACSB reaccreditation is the result of the sustainable improvement processes which we have implemented as well as of our ability to innovate. All the different groups and teams across the School constructively and consistently work together in a most exemplary way to ensure the success of the School".
The reaccreditation process involved, amongst other things, a 3-day visit to the School by an international team of AACSB reviewers. The findings of the team were summarized in a written report, leading ultimately to reaccreditation being granted. During their visit, the team talked to our students, our teaching staff, and other staff. The School's programs of study, quality assurance policies for teaching and research, as well as the School's facilities, were scrutinized and assessed.
The team of reviewers confirmed that the School of Business and Economics consistently implements its mission statement, that it demonstrates an organic collegial culture, and that it integrates the interests of all its different stakeholders. Student involvement was particularly positively highlighted, as was the extensive range of E-learning products and services offered by the School.
In order to hold AACSB accreditation, the School of Business and Economics is subject to a reaccreditation process every five years. In Germany, the School is one of currently only nine business schools to have met the demanding standards set by AACSB. Today, there are 680 university business schools holding AACSB accreditation in 45 different countries. AACSB reaccreditation further backs up the School's excellent national and international ranking positions, e.g.Handelsblatt, CHE, Wirtschaftswoche, or QS World University Ranking.

QS Ranking by Subjects 2016
Since 2011 Quacquarelli Symonds have been publishing the QS University Subject Ranking in addition to the QS World University Ranking. From around the world, the top 100-200 universities in 36 subjects are identified.
Next to the THE ranking, the QS ranking is one of the most important university rankings in the world. In 2016, RWTH Aachen University was ranked among the best universities in 22 subjects.
A year previously, the subject area Business & Management Studies had been ranked by the QS for the first time and in 2016, the School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen University was again ranked amongst the 101-150 group. Germany-wide, RWTH Aachen University again holds second place (together with LMU and TU München as well as WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management). In the category "Statistics & Operational Research", similarly to the previous year, the 101-150 group was reached - fourth place Germany-wide (together with the University of Göttingen).
Wirschaftswoche Ranking: School Now Ranks among Best 10Copyright: WirtschaftsWoche
German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche surveys 500 H.R. managers in medium and larger sized German companies every year. They are asked for their opinions on which universities produce the best educated graduates, whereby a specific focus of the survey is on practice orientation. The Hochschulranking der Wirtschaftswoche for 2015 has ranked RWTH Aachen School of Business and Economics 9th, thus positioning the School among the best 10 of its peers and confirming the School's high reputation with German companies. Natural science and engineering graduates of RWTH University have already been acheiving a likewise very good positioning in this ranking for several years now.
Continuous Improvement in Handelsblatt Ranking 2014Copyright: Verlagsgruppe Handelsblatt
On December 15, 2014, the latest research rankings of the German financial newspaper, Handelsblatt, announced the most productive researchers in business administration in the German-speaking countries. More than 2,000 corresponding academic researchers were taken into consideration. Points were allocated for each publication in a specialized journal, whereby the reputation of the relevant journal determined the number of points to be awarded.
Every 2 years, the Handelsblatt publishes three different rankings: "Most productive researchers", "Top 100 researchers under 40", and "Lifetime achievement". In the first category, with the German title of "Beste Forschungsleistung" , three of the School's academics were nominated this year. Particularly well ranked in an excellent 6th place was Prof. Dr. Malte Brettel. In the second category with the German title of "die besten 100 Forscher unter 40 Jahren", there are also three of the School's academics, all of whom had considerably improved their research performance vis a vis the 2012 ranking. Amongst the top 250 business adminstration researchers nominated for their lifetime achievements, there are six of the School's academics. The best placed amongst these six is Prof. Dr. Harald Dyckhoff, who ranks 36th.
The School of Business and Economics had been ranked 15th best in the business school ranking - with the German title of "Ranking der Fakultäten" - in 2012; for 2014, the School was ranked 12th best, which reflects a pleasing continous improvement! Amongst the German non-private universities, RWTH Aachen University was ranked in an excellent 6th place.
Excellent Results for the School in CHE Master Ranking!
On December 2 this year, the Centre for Higher Education (CHE) published for the first time in the ZEIT-Campus magazine a Master-Ranking for Business Administration. Data gathered for the CHE Hochchulranking in the winter semester 2013/2014 provided the basis for the Master evaluation.
Universities are evaluated according to various indicators: overall study situation, courses and programs available, academic feasibility of the programs, contact between teachers and students, and international orientation of the programs. Similarly to the CHE Hochschulranking system, no places are awarded. Instead, universitites are allocated to a top group, a middle group, or a bottom group
Business Administration also gained excellent results in this new ranking. In all of the indicators, the School of Business and Economics was allocated to the top group. Apart from RWTH University, only three other public universities managed the same achievements.
For the other indicators in the student evaluation which were not published in ZEIT-Campus, Business Administration at RWTH Aachen University has better results than the average of all the evaluated universities. For 11 of the 14 indicators, RWTH Aachen is in the top group. The School's E-learning products and services gained the best result: 1.4: the "weakest" result was in the area of practical orientation - a 2.3.
The School is very pleased that its high teaching standards are reflected in these results.
The School Presents Its Strengths in U-Multirank RankingsCopyright: http://www.umultirank.org
In 2011, the European Commission created a consortium of European universities and research institutions (hereafter CHE and CHEPS) in order to develop a new system of ranking that would use a broad spectrum of performance indicators for ranking Europe's tertiary education institutions. The concept is based on the methodical preliminary work of the CHE university ranking system and is closely linked to CHE's methodology in many of its basic elements.
The objective was to develop an alternative to the well-known international ranking systems. Since May 2014, the first U-Multirank findings have been available online. About 850 universities around the world have registered to take part in 2014.
In contrast to traditional international ranking systems, which focus mainly on cutting-edge research, U-Multirank looks at different aspects of the Europen university community. The system is multidimensional: rather than providing a general assessment picture, it picks out individual aspects of each university's profile and performance. And rather than individual ranking placements, participants are ranked according to groups. The following 5 categories are relevant:
- Research
- Teaching and learning
- International orientation
- Knowledge transfer
- Regional engagement
An innovation of this system is that students are able to compile their own rankings based on their own interests and requirements. They can find information about specific subject areas or specific universitites that they are particularly interested in and select the assessment criteria that fit their own preferences. Data are gathered for the rankings from the universities and their departments as well as from bibliometric analyses and student surveys. As the U-Multirank system is similar to the CHE rankings with regard to methodology, the School of Business and Economics is very successful in the U-Multirank rankings, too.

CHE Ranking 2014Copyright: CHE
The Centre for Higher Education's (CHE) ranking is the most well known and most detailed ranking system in the German-speaking countries. Apart from evaluating study programs and teaching, it also covers students' assessments of study conditions at their respective university. Every year, one third of the subjects taught are newly evaluated. With over 300 universities ("Hochschulen") and universities of applied science ("Fachhochschulen"), 2,500 departments, 7,500 study programs, 33 subjects, and assessments by students, the CHE ranking is a comprehensive source of information for prospective students looking for the most appropriate university for their studies.
On May 6, the new Hochschulranking 2014 was published online and also in the magazine ZEIT Studienführer 2014/15, and this time it included business administration and business adminstration with engineering. According to various key indicators, the CHE ranking allocates the German universities to a top group, a middle group, and a bottom group, whereby the best and the poorest quarter forms the top and bottom group, respectively.
The School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen University gained excellent results: in 11 key indicators, the School was allocated to the top group. These included:
- academic feasibility of the evaluated study programs,
- international orientation of the Bachelor and Master programs,
- Bachelor and Master students completing the programs within the regular time frame.
- publications and third-party funding per academic staff member,
- quality and scope of e-learning products and services,
- student involvement in teaching assessment
- contact with students.
In no indicator was the School of Business and Economics allocated to the bottom group. This excellent result reflects the School's high teaching standards.
Handelsblatt Rankings for Business Administration 2012
The current Handelsblatt ranks the School's business administration programs (2012) 15th in the German-speaking countries and 10th in comparison with other business schools within Germany. With regard to "points awarded per professor", the School ranks 10th amongst the German-speaking countries this year. Seven members of the School's teaching staff are also mentioned in the individual rankings for the top researchers in the field of business administration.

Oh hey, guess what? It's another post where I whine about not sleeping!
I know. My blog is so original and profound.
My life is a little like Groundhog Day, so that's probably why my blog feels like it. I just keep going on and on and on about how I'm not sleeping because, well, I'm not. Ever, except in 3 hour intervals at night and random cat naps during the day.
I know so many are wanting to be all, "SEE! Sleep training/abuse doesn't work!" but to be honest, just a couple days after I posted about sleep training (and blew up the internet), we all came down with a cold that lasted… a month? Since I'm not a total monster of a mother, I didn't leave my baby to cry while I knew she wasn't feeling well. Then we just never got back on track.
Because the thing about sleep training (the way I do it, the way that's NOT just leaving them to "cry it out" all night in their room alone) is that it is a hell of a lot more work than just waking every few hours to pop a boob in your baby's mouth. We just haven't had the energy to jump back on, but I know we need to.
Hell, even my moderately crunchy midwife agrees that my health and sanity at this point needs to take priority, and we need to figure some things out (but I already knew that, it's just hard to make myself a priority when I'm so tired… if that makes sense).
On top of all of that, Leyna dropped her morning nap. That may seem all, "Awesome! Now you can do things in the morning and she will sleep extra long in the afternoon," but really it's like, "Boo! I can't take a nap in the morning and I'll be a zombie until she passes out after lunch, at which point I'll have to decide to either shower or take a 15 minute nap before picking my 3 year old up at school." Morning playdates just aren't going to happen if I have to hold my eyelids open with toothpicks.
Oh, I want to blog about more than this. I want to craft and organize and take pictures and live a funny life again, but this little life sucker is not allowing it. It's ridiculously hard to tell this face no.
And she knows it.
To anyone who thinks about chiming in to remind me that "this is just a phase… a small window of time… it will pass before I know it… they are only this little once," I say this with as much love and respect as possible, but please kindly F off.
Leyna is 13 months old and I am one cranky, tired bitch

Computer shopping tips for back to school
Shopping for back to school used to mean a trip to Target to buy notepads, binders, pencils, erasers and a "Spongebob Squarepants" pencil box.
Now it means a visit to Best Buy, Office Max or clicking online at Newegg.com to buy a laptop and Microsoft Office.
Those lucky enough to have money to buy their kids new laptops this year needn't be in a perpetual state of confusion. Here's a guide to what to look for in a computer for your student's needs.
Platform o Mac or PC? It's a question as old as computing itself, but what still rages between tech-heads is a nonissue in education.
Public schools across Utah use both Windows-based PCs and Apple Macs, said Rick Gaisford, educational technology specialist for the Utah State Office of Education, so choosing either will not cripple your student's work or progress.
But some schools do use one platform more than another, as do some specialized classes. When shopping for the right laptop, find out which platform your child's school mostly uses. Also, learn what kinds of computers are used in the specialized classes your child wants to take. If they are business classes, for example, most schools use Windows-based PCs. If it's graphic design or video editing, consider a Mac.
Specifications o In theory, your student is only going to be writing and browsing the Internet for research on the computer. But the reality is your child is also going to be listening to music, watching YouTube videos, and may get sidetracked by an episode of "Adventure Time" on Netflix.
To meet those needs, the computer still doesn't have to be a powerhouse machine. If you're looking for a PC, get one with an Intel processor that's an i5 or i7 chip. If you're buying new, search for a laptop that has the new Intel "Haswell" chip that will boost battery life significantly over the previous processor.
It also doesn't need more than 4 gigabytes of RAM (system memory). Finally, a hard drive with no more than 500 gigabytes is fine. You also won't really need a DVD drive anymore because most software is available via digital download, and not getting a drive can save money. A Windows-based PC laptop for about $500 or more could fill those needs and easily last until your pre-teen enters college.
If you choose a Mac, the cheapest MacBook Air for $999 or the least-expensive MacBook Pro for $1,199 will easily fit the bill. Also consider buying a cheaper refurbished MacBook from a third-party Apple retailer such as Expercom. If you're looking at a MacBook Air, however, the newest model with the "Haswell" processor from Intel is the best choice because it has much better battery life than last year's model.
Laptop or tablet o More Utah schools are using computer tablets such as the iPad and Kindle Fire for student work, Gaisford said. But that doesn't mean it's necessary to buy a tablet over a laptop, he said, especially because many schools now provide them to students to use in class.
A downside with tablets is they don't have built-in physical keyboards, making them a bit tougher for writing papers. But tablets are more portable and on the whole cheaper than laptops.
Apple's iPad holds a majority of the market in computer tablets and also has more applications available for it than Android-based tablets such as the Kindle Fire. But the cheapest 9-inch iPad ($499) is also much more expensive than the cheapest, comparably sized Kindle Fire ($269). The same goes for their smaller 7-inch models.
If you buy a tablet, also look into a portable wireless Bluetooth keyboard/case from manufacturers such as ZAGG, Belkin or Logitech.
Software o With the growing popularity of free Web-based solutions, you don't need to buy additional educational software such as Microsoft Office.
Today, kids are using free online applications such as Prezi for slide presentations and Google Docs (which is now called Google Drive) for writing. You also can download the free productivity suite, Open Office, which has a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software compatible with Microsoft Office.
If you're buying a Windows-based PC, the essential piece of software will be anti-virus protection. The newest Windows operating system, Windows 8, has better security than previous versions of the OS, but additional protection is still prudent.
Again, you don't really have to pay for anti-virus software such as those from McAfee or Norton. And a big downside to those programs is they can actually slow down the performance of the machine. Instead, look at free anti-virus protection such as AVG, which is a robust program that doesn't bog the computer down.
Macs are less susceptible to viruses and malware, not because they're necessarily more secure, but because there are a lot fewer viruses and less malware written for that platform. Anti-virus or anti-malware protection for Macs aren't as necessary, if they're necessary at all.

Eric Barger needs YOU! Yes, Eric Barger needs you to support him in his fight against enemy blogs that mock him and his theology. We quote from Eric Barger's recent Most Holy Inspired News Letter:
Though the heretical bloggers may mock our mission and resort to mere name calling, I am certain many will agree with me that we must aggressively address the many issues effecting our culture today, not the least of which is the mounting theological and doctrinal confusion among professing Evangelicals. Though astounding numbers are now rejecting the historic and biblical faith for the false gospels of "Emergent," "Feel Good," and "Seeker-Sensitive" we'll continue to boldly remind anyone and everyone of the changeless truth that there is but one way, one Lord and one holy Word of God!
Now how does Eric Barger suggest you can 'help" him? We quote again:
… Another terrific way to support the ministry is to order some of our DVDs, CDs and Books. These valuable tools can be shared again and again and will continue to serve the Kingdom of God for many years to come.
Yes… by buying his "DVDs, CDs and Books" you can help Eric in his "ministry". We pray this un-named and un-cited mockers of Eric Barger will be exposed and we here remain true to the SAME theology of Eric Barger and SAME love of truth Eric Barger has. In fact we here at the ODMafia fully ENDORSE and BACK and fall short of WORSHIPPING Eric Barger's Take a Stand Ministries. If you want to be safe from anyone that disagrees with Eric Barger and the ODMafia… be sure to just read our blog and buy Eric's "DVDs, CDs and Books."
P.S. Just a note to those "mockers". We here at the ODMafia agree that you are heretics. Not because we know you or have actually talked to you, but because 1. We said so. 2. You try to hold Eric Barger and others to a moral and biblical standard of Truth. 3. You hold us discernmentalist "ministries" (We call ourselves that because we sell books and DVD's and CDs) accountable. How dare you! I mean that IS OUR JOB! So get off Eric Barger's back! I mean he does not even know the difference between "emerging" and "Emergent" so we are sure he is orthodox!

Insurance institute warns truck guards allow crashes
- Metal bars hanging down from the backs of tractor-trailers are meant to prevent crashes
- Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has pushed for tougher standards
- Canadian truck passed crash tests
Most big-rig manufacturers are still building tractor-trailers with rear under-ride guards that allow cars going as slow as 35 mph to slide under the trucks in crashes, according to new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Under-ride guards, those metal bars hanging down from the backs of tractor-trailers, are meant to prevent horrific crashes that can shear the top off a car and behead its occupants.
Two years ago, the Insurance Institute released research showing that many of the guards were ineffective. It found that the federal government's minimum strength and dimension requirements for under-ride guards were inadequate. The IIHS petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to impose tougher standards.
The NHTSA has not changed its standards, but trailer manufacturers are making stronger guards than the government requires, partly because since 2007, Canada has had a much tougher under-ride standard than the USA.
The Insurance Institute says that under-ride guards still don't prevent all under-ride crashes. IIHS researchers tested under-ride guards from the nation's eight largest trailer manufacturers, representing about 80% of all manufacturers, said David Zuby, the institute's chief research officer.
The NHTSA "is actively working to improve truck under-ride protection and recently completed an in-depth field analysis … to support potential changes to existing federal safety standards," said NHTSA administrator David Strickland. "The driving public should know that we are actively working to address the issues raised in IIHS's report and that their safety will always be our top priority."
The agency recently completed an in-depth field analysis of two years' worth of fatal under-ride crashes with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
In a series of three progressively tougher crash tests, IIHS engineers crashed a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu going 35 mph into a parked truck. The trucks were equipped with guards that met both the U.S. and Canadian standards.
All eight guards prevented under-ride in the first scenario, which was a dead-on, rear end collision.
In the second test, in which only half the width of the car overlapped with the rear end of the trailer, all but one trailer passed.
When the overlap was reduced to 30% — when only about 30% of the Malibu's front end struck the trailer — every trailer except one failed, the Insurance Institute said.
The one truck that passed all three tests: a trailer from Canadian manufacturer Manac, which sells trailers in the USA under the name Trailmobile.
"All eight trailers meet the (tougher) Canadian standard," Zuby said. "Yet seven of them failed to prevent under-ride in the narrow overlap category."
He said the Manac guard "is not made of different metal or heavier material than the others." The company reinforced the attachment points for its guard and mounted the vertical supports closer to the edges of the trailer, Zuby said. Insurance Institute spokesman Russ Rader said those modifications cost about $20 per trailer.
In 2011, 260 of the 2,241 passenger vehicle occupants killed in large truck crashes died in under-ride crashes, down from 460 of 3,693 in 2004, the IIHS said, adding that the decline is partly due to the recession-induced drop in miles traveled.
"This report shows that since IIHS' first study in 2011, trailer manufacturers have responded favorably and have already taken steps to surpass federal standards for these guards," said Sean McNally, spokesman for the American Trucking Associations, which represents the nation's largest trucking companies.
"We must also focus on preventing these kinds of crashes in the first place," he said. "More driver education on sharing the road with large commercial vehicles is a must, and promoting greater use of collision avoidance technology in both cars and trucks will also produce results."

World Bulletin / News Desk
The diplomatic standoff over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange escalated on Wednesday after Britain threatened to raid Ecuador's embassy in London if Quito did not hand over Assange, who has been taking refuge there for two months.
The Ecuadorean government said such an action would be considered a "hostile and intolerable act" as well as a violation of its sovereignty.
"Under British law we can give them a week's notice before entering the premises and the embassywill no longer have diplomatic protection," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
"But that decision has not yet been taken. We are not going to do this overnight. We want to stress that we want a diplomatically agreeable solution."
Quito bristled at the threat and said it would announce its decision on Assange's asylum request on Thursday at 7 a.m. (1200 GMT).
"We want to be very clear, we're not a British colony. The colonial times are over," Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said in an angry statement after a meeting with President Rafael Correa.
"The move announced in the official British statement, if it happens, would be interpreted by Ecuador as an unfriendly, hostile and intolerable act, as well as an attack on our sovereignty, which would force usto respond in the strongest diplomatic way," Patino told reporters.
Ecuador, whose government is part of a left-leaning bloc of nations in South America, called for meetings of regional foreign ministers and the hemispheric Organization of American States to rally support in its complaint against Britain.
"We are deeply shocked by British government's threats against the sovereignty of the EcuadoreanEmbassy and their suggestion that they may forcibly enter the embassy," the mission said on its website.
"This is a clear breach of international law and the protocols set out in the Vienna Convention."
The embassy, near London's famed Harrods department store, was under tight surveillance, with three police officers manning the entrance and several others patrolling around the red-brick building.
A group of Assange supporters who responded to a rallying call by WikiLeaks on Twitter gathered outside to demand Assange's freedom and streamed the scene live on the Internet.
"We have been here day in day out as a vigil to make sure there is at least a witness to all of this," said Anthony, one of the supporters.
WikiLeaks earlier tweeted saying, "If police storms, they will do so in early hours of the morning. Please stay, & those who can, go to the embassy and #ProtectAssange".
The Australian former hacker has been in the embassy for eight weeks since losing a legal battle toavoid extradition to Sweden, where he has been accused of rape and sexual assault by two WikiLeaks supporters.
"The UK has a legal obligation to extradite Mr Assange to Sweden to face questioning over allegations of sexual offences and we remain determined to fulfill this obligation," a Foreign Office spokesman said earlier.
Swedish prosecutors have not yet charged Assange, but they have moved forward with their investigations and they believe they have a case to take to trial.
Assange fears Sweden could send him on to the United States, where he believes authorities want topunish him for publishing thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic cables on WikiLeaks in 2010 in a major embarrassment for Washington.
Even if he were granted asylum, Assange has little chance of leaving the Ecuadorean embassy in London without being arrested.
There has been speculation he could travel to an airport in a diplomatic car, be smuggled out in a diplomatic bag, or even be appointed an Ecuadorean diplomat to give him immunity.
But lawyers and diplomats see those scenarios as practically unworkable.
The Ecuadorean government has said it wants to avoid Assange's extradition to Sweden, but approval of asylum would offer no legal protection in Britain where police will arrest him once they get a chance.
"The question of asylum is arguably a red herring," said former British government lawyer Carl Gardner.
Ecuador's leader Correa is a self-declared enemy of "corrupt" media and U.S. "imperialism", and apparently hit it off with Assange during a TV interview the Australian did with him in May.
Correa joked then with Assange that he had joined "the club of the persecuted".

Top 8 things to do in Jaipur, India
Few people are aware of a city which is quintessentially Indian, Jaipur. The capital and the largest city of the state of Rajasthan, its also known as the Pink City of India, and it offers visitors a wealth of architectural, cultural and foodie delights. Jaipur earned its moniker the Pink City because it was built, literally, on the bedrock of pink sandstone which changes shade depending on the suns position in the sky. There are innumerable ways to familiarise yourself with this wonderful city. Options abound.
1. The Pink City
Jaipurcertainlyis pink. Even the unforgiving midday sun casts a rich red hue as it heats the stone. Not surprisingly, the city takes on a stunning beauty at sunrise and sunset. Its at this time of day that you should give yourself over to navigating the streets, experiencing the history, while weaving past the inhabitants, the rickshaws and tuk tuks, the motorbikes (Bajaj bikes most likely), the sacred cows, the not-so-sacred pigs and the occasional monkey.
2. The Palace of the Winds
The Hawa Mahalis an architectural marvel, a fanciful blend of red sandstone shaped like a honeycomb pyramid. Intricately decorated, each window jharokha ornamented with elaborate latticework. The high screen wall was created so that ladies of the court could observe street festivals and yet remain unseen by the revellers.
3. Indulge in the city palace
Not so much a palace as a series of magnificent residences, the city palace has a history dating back to 1729. It comprises of the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces which incorporate courtyards, gardens and other buildings. I particularly enjoyed the Armoury, marvelling in every detail of the ceremonial weapons craftsmanship, as well as the Mubarak Mahal, the 'Auspicious Palace', which is an unsurpassed fusion of the Islamic, Rajput and European architectural styles.
4. Dinner with members of the royal family
Experience Travel Group can arrange a dinner with descendents of a royal family for you. The Sai Niwas prepare a splendid meal for guests to enjoy and theres even a cooking lesson beforehand, so you can learn how to create traditional family cuisine yourself. Enjoy mouth-watering food while all the while discussing the citys rich history and the vagaries of modern life.
5. Relax on aheritage walk
Explore Jaipurs old town with an expert local guide and discover delicious street food, beautiful craft shops and antique stores. Its an illuminating chance to experience the way of life in this bustling city and get a better understand of how its history has shaped the culture today.
6. Exploring the historyof Jaipur
TheAlbert Hallwas built, unsurprisingly, during colonial times. It is an impressive example of colonial architecture, fusing European, Indian and Islamic styles into one. Within its elaborate walls youll find the story of the city.
7. Sunrise in Jaipur
A morning cycle is a great way to experience a city. It allows for an unmatched perspective, just as the city and its inhabitants awake. We stopped off at street food stalls regularly, whether for a refreshing lassi or sweet chai with the locals, or a tactical break at a tiny bakery for sweet treats and an energy boost. We also visited a lively and colourful market with a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna; it was a fantastic, immersive experience.
8. The indomitable hill forts
Joined by a local guide, you can journey out to rural hill forts near Jaipur. Travelling from village to village, youll visit beautiful Hindu temples along the way as well as meet Rajasthani farmers and hear of their lives. I met one who was worried that a leopard someone had supposedly spotted could endanger his oxen! Finish up at Kuntil Garh Fort, a property frozen in time with beautiful views of the countless forts that characterise Rajasthan.

Editor's Note: The following article is reprinted from InfoWorld. For more Mac coverage, visit InfoWorld's Enterprise Mac Blog.
Apple's desktop Macs are incomparably well suited for the full range of uses from general productivity to technical and creative design, with the entire user skill and requirements spectrum covered by a rich, engaging, intuitive platform. It took Apple several years to get its head out of hardware long enough to perfect its client software. But the combination of broad feature set and usability that Apple brings to desktops, with the idea that one can sit down and start working immediately, didn't stand a chance of making it to servers.
Apple has brought its unique brand of richness and simplicity to servers. OS X Leopard Server is the fifth generation of the software half of Apple's server platform. This time around, Apple took what is a unique and bold approach for a UNIX server. Leopard Server continues the OS X Server tradition of delivering platform-independent file/print, e-mail, Web, and network edge services (such as stateful firewall, VPN, proxy, virus, and spam filtering). But it is as easy to set up and run as a desktop. Truly; the typical Mac user could get a Leopard Server going, because the default administrative interface is a match for a Mac's System Preferences.
Leopard Server breaks from the previous Mac server, and all server practices in general, in another regard. It takes the core server capabilities that I described in the preceding paragraph for granted, and places a completely new emphasis on cutting edge network collaboration that includes blog, wiki, instant messaging, calendar and scheduling, and address book (which Apple refers to as Directory). Sure, that's a trick that Linux or Windows can pull off, but Apple's spin is unique. These services are turnkey simple, but even in a turnkey setting, Leopard Server's services are loaded with features and integrated to an extent that one finds, well, on a Mac desktop. If you can wrap your mind around this idea, then you won't be surprised that Apple has supplied templates and default behaviors that make the services you put on the air look professionally designed from minute zero. Leopard Server passes the true turnkey sniff test by supporting all of its services without requiring custom coding or scripting.
Open and mighty
Apple, which has been known to approach challenges by inventing proprietary wheels, went full-bore on public standards with Leopard Server. Standouts among Leopard Server's standard standards are CalDAV shared calendars, Jabber/XMPP, Apache 2.2, Ruby on Rails with Mongrel and Capistrano, IPSec and PPTP VPN, RSS, and Kerberos. Apple went proprietary only on the underlying plumbing of management GUIs. SNMPv3 is supported for monitoring with open tools. Apple's bullish on security, and some of the secrets it keeps are in customers' interest.
Although Leopard Server has the outward appearance of a gentle, unintimidating client that magically makes collaboration, general server, and edge services appear on your network, it wears its UNIXness with pride. Leopard Server is UNIX with a U, the real deal, with Open Group UNIX 03 certification for the first time in OS X history. That puts Leopard Server in the rarified company of AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX. The Big Three is now the Big Four. The point is, if you're concerned that Apple's having brought client ease of use to servers means that UNIX gearheads have to clear a lot of brush to work their craft, don't worry about it. Leopard Server is source-level compatibility with any UNIX software in the wild, or at least that which adheres to UNIX standards. Further, a full set of commands -- including command-line administration of its entire feature set -- means that Leopard Server is both pretty to look at and well-muscled, a fine specimen all around.
For the short rack
If Leopard Server has a shortcoming, it is its limited scalability. This is a legitimate concern for IT, but then IT is neither Apple's target for Leopard Server nor the most likely purchaser of turnkey, user-friendly servers. Again, Leopard Server passes muster in the general purpose category, and linking in Apple's Xsan SAN filesystem opens Leopard Server's intrinsic scalability. But the turnkey features that make Leopard Server so appealing don't scale with the use of the GUI tools. The tools themselves fall short of an experienced admin's expectations, especially with regard to real-time reporting. Apple thoughtfully made all of its admin tools operable remotely so that you don't have to resort to VNC or a remote shell; the console administrative GUI runs on any Mac client, and the tools are free. But when a remote management connection goes down mid-session, the admin tools handle it poorly. There is no notification that the link to the server has been cut. Rather, stale stats persist on-screen until the admin tool is restarted, at which point a broken connection is reported.
Leopard Server does all of the things that Tiger Server did, with modernization that's particularly visible in its default security and the GUI interfaces that operate it. You'll also find that often-used features like the setting up of network shares have been moved to top-level management interfaces. Leopard Server is a much easier OS to run even when your requirements exceed that which the desktop-like GUI can manage.
Just add users
Wiki, blog, calendar, and instant messaging are pulled together as Web services, and Apple took a brilliant approach. When you create a new user on Leopard Server -- of course, you can link to Windows Active Directory and arbitrary LDAP directories as well, with Leopard providing single sign-on -- Leopard Server sets up homes for the user's blog and calendar and shared address book ("Directory"). When you create a group, Leopard Server automatically wires that group's members into selected Web services, with configurable access by users outside the group. For example, the group gets its own Wiki and group mailing list, and a calendar that permits full-group invites. That's just a hint of the "do it in one place, it shows up everywhere" integration that's familiar to Mac client users. It is just as pervasive in Leopard Server.
It's clear that Apple let its creative and technical wizards run wild in Leopard Server just as they did in Leopard client, and as with Leopard client, I can't hope to run down the list of Leopard Server's new features. I can point to an example of Apple's assembly of its own technology to blow users' minds. Podcast Producer sounds like a desktop tool, but it's a major innovative leap in back-end services. Podcast Producer is server-side automation for podcast workflows. It takes media content uploaded by users, carries it through a workflow that includes grid-based media format transcoding, and posts it to a targeted podcast site, yours or Apple's (iTunes and iTunes U). Mac users running Leopard have an application called Podcast Capture that is the front-end for Leopard Server's Podcast Producer. Just record it, assemble other bits you want to take along, send it, and it magically appears in the right place in the right format; those are details that users no longer need to worry about. They can if they must, but the speed and quality of the automated approach -- this is one area where Leopard Server scales out of the box -- exceeds what most shops could do with custom code.
And that makes a fitting closing point. Below the datacenter level, where the expectation of serving millions of external users is wired into planning, there's often no reason for servers to be complicated beasts. Ideally, they should look no scarier to administrators than they do to users. There is no question that complexity is a show-stopper for small to medium businesses, independent professionals, and budget-limited organizations that really need to just dump an Xserve or Mac Pro in the most convenient spot, hook one cable to the LAN and one to the WAN, and go live with blogs, wikis, internally-hosted IM, and podcasts while taking care of the basics such as firewall, viruses, and spam. For that last garnish that finishes the dish, know that scalability is relative. An Xserve or Mac Pro with a hardware RAID adapter, or an outboard Xserve RAID, can handle more simultaneous users than you'd expect. Don't base your expectations on what Windows and Linux PCs can do. Leopard is a different beast that could easily be the only collaboration server that an organization of modest size requires.

The Albuquerque-based liberal nonprofit group ProgressNow New Mexico has filed a formal complaint to the Internal Revenue Service accusing a Florida nonprofit of improperly paying for state Education Secretary Designate Hanna Skandera travels.
The complaint against Foundation for Excellence in Education, a Florida nonprofit run by former Republican Gov. Jeb Bush, cites how the nonprofit paid nearly $3,500 for Skandera's airfare travels to conferences in 2011 and 2012. Pat Davis, executive director of ProgressNowNM, claims the travel payments violate IRS rules because nonprofits aren't allowed to pay public officials. He adds that the foundation's payments for Skandera's travel don't show up on the nonprofit's tax returns.
Davis also criticizes the foundation's conventions for being a "dating service between for-profit companies and public officials who get to decide where public money goes." Some for-profit companies like K12 Inc. are foundation donors and also have education contracts with New Mexico.
"Bottom line, this is about transparency," Davis says. "It's companies who are greatly interested in privatizing New Mexico education."
PED spokeswoman Aimee Barabe dismisses the complaint as a "political stunt by a discredited left-wing political group."
"PED adheres to state and federal laws—in this situation and others," Barabe writes in an email.
Skandera's travel payments haven't only been paid for by the foundation. SFR previously reported on how for-profit groups like Summit Education Associates, Inc. and nonprofits like the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers have paid for her trips over the years.

OceanaGold Didipio Mine update
Feb 24, 2013, 19:30 ET
MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - OceanaGold Corporation (ASX: OGC,TSX: OGC, NZX: OGC) (the "Company") wishes to provide an update on its Didipio Mine located in Luzon, Philippines which is currently undergoing commissioning activities.
Ramp up of the process plant continues to track well. To date, approximately 2,500 tonnes of copper-gold concentrate has been delivered to port and in excess of an additional 2,500 tonnes has been produced and is awaiting transport from the minesite.
The Company wishes to advise that it is currently in discussions with various government departments over interpretations of tax exemptions pertaining to OceanaGold's Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA). Didipio is the first project to be built and commence operations in the Philippines under the FTAA structure. Due to these clarifications on tax exemptions being sought, some of the trucks used for transporting concentrate are being held by local government agencies and thus transportation of copper-gold concentrate has been temporarily suspended. While these discussions take place, mining and processing operations continue.
About OceanaGold

The Company's assets encompass New Zealand's largest gold mining operation at the Macraes goldfield in Otago which is made up of the Macraes Open Pit and the Frasers Underground mines. Additionally on the west coast of the South Island, the Company operates the Reefton Open Pit mine. The Company's Didipio Mine in northern Luzon, Philippines is in commissioning and is expected to produce 100,000 ounces of gold and 14,000 tonnes of copper per year on average over an estimated 16 year mine life. OceanaGold expects to produce 285,000 to 325,000 ounces of gold in FY2013 from the New Zealand and Philippine operations combined.
OceanaGold is listed on the Toronto, Australian and New Zealand stock exchanges under the symbol OGC.

Google has removed the option that let Chrome users restore an older version of the new tab page, closing that loophole and showing the oft-criticized scheme to everyone.
The new tab page appears when users press Ctrl-T (Windows) or Command-T (OS X) in Chrome. All browsers offer a similar new tab page that, at a minimum, shows thumbnails of the user's most visited websites. The feature, which debuted on Opera in 2007, has been copied by all its rivals, including Chrome, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox, and Apple's Safari.
Last September, Google rolled out its redesigned new tab page with Chrome 29, featuring eight thumbnails of frequently-visited websites and a large Google search box, shifted the Web apps view to a button, and dumped other features, including the ability to view recently closed tabs.
Users howled. In comments posted to the browser's support forum, they blasted the changes as unnecessary and disruptive to their online productivity.
But at the time, Google left them an out. By setting "Enable Instant Extended API" in the advanced options -- reachable by typing "chrome://flags" in the address bar -- to "Disable," users were able to restore the old new tab page.
Last Thursday, however, with the release of Chrome 33, Google yanked that setting from the "flags" page.
"The chrome://flags page differs from other Chrome settings in that they are meant for developers and are not official or a supported part of Chrome," explained SarahMM on a support thread dedicated to the disappearance of the "Enable Instant Extended API" option. SarahMM was identified as a Google employee.
"In the case of Instant Extended API, this is based on old code, which is not included in our most recent update," SarahMM added.
Instead, she recommended that Chromes users install one of three add-ons that modify the new new tab page, but do not completely restore it to the older style. Computerworld's expert on all things Google, blogger JR Raphael, suggested one more.
To say that users were unhappy would be a monumental understatement: As of early Monday, the thread dedicated to the vanished flag setting contained over 400 posts, a very high number for a Google support forum.
Some of the messages were definitely not workplaceappropriate, unless one's workplace was an NFL stadium after the home team had just handed the ball over four straight times.
Others were more moderate, but still stinging.
"Sorry, but this is unacceptable in ANY form whatsoever and I have no clue who you think you are fooling with your canned PR response," wrote Jason Hellenthal on Feb. 20, aiming his comment at SarahMM. "Old code? It was a decision to force the user into not turning it off."
"You can pretend it's about the extended API, but this is just a distraction from the fact you are forcing us to practice bad browsing behavior, like using unnecessary third-party extensions," chimed in coreytodds yesterday.
Many users were short and succinct in their pleas. "For the love of the little crying infant baby Jesus would you STOP messing with my new tab page?" asked Steve Pittman on Saturday.
Several noticed that if they changed the default search engine from Google to an alternative, say Microsoft's Bing, the large Google logo and search field vanished. The irony wasn't lost on them. "Change search engine to Bing and the Google logo and child's search box go away! Except, of course, I'll be evaluating a new search engine," wrote Alex Kushnir last Thursday.
In Windows, Chrome's search engine setting can be found on the "Settings" page after clicking on the icon with the three horizontal lines at the right side of the browser's toolbar. In OS X, the setting is on the "Preferences" page, called up from the "Chrome" menu at the far left.
Others claimed that they were uninstalling Chrome and switching to Firefox.
But those users' comments were full of sound and fury, signifying nothing to Google, or so it seemed by the reply of one Google senior software engineer on the Chrome UI team, Peter Kasting, who replied to similar complaints that had been posted to the Chromium bug tracker.
"We have, in fact, considered the various issues people have raised with the new NTP [new tab page], and suggestions have been kicked around as to how to address those issues, so you may see changes in the future, (emphasis in original)," wrote Kasting on Feb. 20. "Completely reverting the NTP, however, is not one of those suggestions, because the new NTP is massively improved on all kinds of important user satisfaction metrics. Reverting it, in our opinion, would harm the overall UX [user experience] for a large fraction of our userbase, and we have a moral duty to consider their well-being, not just the opinions of the few who complain."
