It seems like the most important point imo that is on that history page is the desktop mce idea that would enable this mce to be an option on all desktop that a novice and advanced user alike can use. Personally this is one giant step that needs to be taken in order to advance the desktop market due to Apple and Microsofts adamant explorations into the living/family/game room for market share.
Looking forward to see what this project develops into.

What I'm really curious about was Momonosuke's hallucination showing Doflamingo's face in the background.

1) Roger is stronger than Rayleigh, just like Luffy is stronger than Zoro. Zoro himself acknowledged Luffy as stronger, and other characters have mentioned that someone with Zoro's personality would not follow a weaker captain. There are clear parallels between Rayleigh and Zoro. Last but not least, Roger as the man who conquered the Grandline and the New World, widely known to be the strongest man in the world in his prime. How can he not have been stronger than Rayleigh?
2) Whitebeard was acknowledged as the strongest man in the world by both Sengoku and Oda himself (you know Oda? he's the guy who writes the manga). If you start questioning even these axiomatic facts, than there is no point in us having a discussion in the first place.
3) Whitebeard was the only man to have fought Roger to a draw. He was able to decimate Akainu in his old age. He may not have been able to beat Sengoku and Garp together, just like how Shiki couldn't, but it is conclusive to say that he would have been able to beat Sengoku/Garp one on one (even if it would have been a close match, like the duel between Akainu and Aokiji).

2.Being the WSM doesn't mean you are stronger and can beat all the top tiers. Where has it shown WB beating these so called weaker characters?
3.I don't remember it being said fighting a draw. That's pure speculation on your part thinking WB can beat Sengoku/Garp/Kong one on one. All he has is his hype and "WSM" title.

Roger was The King of the Pirates for a reason. Rayeligh was his 1st mate and his subordinate. That's all the proof you need to show that Roger was stronger than the Dark King.

I don't dispute that White Beard title has the strongest. His title has the strongest man was earned and He held up that title very well (especially at Marine ford). Has for Rogers and Rayleigh, Luffy and Zoro things may not be what people assume. Remember Rogers was dying of a disease, he needed Croucus just to keep it in check. So it would make sense to for Rayleigh to be has powerful if not stronger then Rogers. If any challenger tried to go after Rogers or challenge his title has king, it would make sense that Rayleigh would be the first obstacle in there path. If you can't beat the first mate then what chance would you have at the captain? This would be a great cover for a dying Rogers. Rayleigh also proved he can use all three haki branches. Rayleigh fought on even footing with Kizaru, what was he like in his prime? Was he has strong has Shanks is now or stronger? Has for Zoro and Luffy, I won't be surprised if Zoro is on equal footing with Luffy in power. Zoro's character in this story is treated differently then any of the characters in Straw hat Crew besides Luffy. In a recent chapter 677 the other half of the team meet up with Luffy finally for the counter attack. Luffy mentions "Its Zoro and the others." Why did not not just say others or Sanji and the others? People have mistaken Zoro for the captain, also certain events like ending with thriller bark, and Zoro lecturing Luffy on being careful leads me to believe differently about Zoro's true strength when compared to Luffy.
He is one of the four Yonkous, he trashed Marineford, the Marines needed the shichibukai, admirals, and might of the marines elite to take him on. He even Gold Rogers rival. If Rogers the only man to rival him is dead then that would leave White Beard at the time the strongest (I kinda wish Oda has shown Garp off a little more in the Marine Ford war since he fought with Rogers too).

this discussion reminds me of the many discussions we've had about op power levels.
as for dragon's powers, most readers think that he has some sort of DF that can manipulate the weather. but isn't haki supposed to have some sort of control over the weather as well? correct me if i'm wrong here but when whitebeard and shanks crossed swords, the sky grew dark, thunder rumbled and lightning struck. some say it was the effect of the power of their haki. they were so strong that it affected the weather. if that's the case, then dragon could simply have a really powerful haki strong enough to affect the weather.

Strongest i.e. most strong; Adjective:
Greatest in amount or degree: "they've had the most success"; "they had the most to lose".
If you are the 'most' strong, than there can be no other stronger than you. This is axiomatically true; by definition, if you are the 'strongest', you are automatically stronger than every other individual. In the OP world, the strongest was Roger, and then Whitebeard.
I can try and find you the chapter where Whitebeard was titled 'the strongest man in the world' but I trust that this matter has now been resolved and we can discuss more productive issues.

There are many kinds of insurance but it doesn't mean that you need to have them all since you need more budgets to get all protection. As the consumer, you need to choose the right protection you really want because of the future benefits. Life protection can be considered as the most common protection everyone needs in order to give them a peaceful life with its special benefit to pay for the death of someone who gets engaged with life protection.
What Can Insurance Do For People?
Where you can get life insurance? Actually, it is not hard to get this protection since you can find it easily in your state with so many brands of famous company. People who want to get protection must pay for the premium payment in certain period of time within monthly, yearly or you may pay for this once directly after agreeing for terms and condition of it. In exchange for that payment made of consumer, the company is in charge to protect them during the contract. The most important benefit of this protection is death benefit. It means the company will pay for the compensation if the insured one is death by something unexpected.
However, the receiver must be stated first in the contract so not all people can get the money. It is typically not protecting someone who is still alive but you can feel the benefit for your family behind. There are still some kinds of this life protection so you can choose the best protection for your family. You may choose term life, whole life and universal protection. Term life will protect you for several periods of time while universal and whole will maintain your protection forever if you are still alive so it means this protection is lifetime coverage. You may not pay for any additional payment anymore except the basic premium payment. If you still live until the end of contract, you may get money.
You money based on the contract and also additional investment will be back for you or you can extend the protection so this insurance can last longer.

It was when we couldn't find the flufftail that I realized the full extent of Madagascar's challenge, when it comes to ecotourism.
It isn't that the country is lacking in wildlife. In our 10 days on this island off Africa's east coast we had already spotted numerous lemur species, dozens of different types of birds and even some of the more cryptic chameleons, insects and frogs. Almost every one of these creatures is found nowhere else on Earth.
But the absence of that flufftail sounded a warning note. We were looking for the slender-billed flufftail — a shy, reddish-brown bird — in the pouring rain, tightrope-walking the muddy, raised edge of a rice paddy. Of course I slipped, soaking my right hiking shoe in the ankle-deep water. That was a nuisance, but I was more concerned about the missing bird.
According to a birding guide book, the flufftail was supposed to be there, in a little slice of wetland. But not only was it not there, neither was the wetland.
"It's been turned into rice paddy by the farmers," said our birding guide. The people needed more rice to feed their family or perhaps a little extra to sell, he explained.
And therein lies Madagascar's big challenge. Can it feed its people and also leave room for its collection of unique wildlife species?
In the 1,400 kilometres we covered by vehicle in Madagascar, we very rarely saw wetlands. Any level area blessed with a supply of water was converted to paddy. The paddies climbed halfway up the hillsides, too, in hard-won, terraced steps.
In the last 30 years, the population of this country has more than doubled to 20 million, with another population doubling projected by 2040. This, in an area about half the size of Ontario.
About 80 per cent of these people are incredibly poor, despite their astonishing work ethic. Most of the people appeared to be up by 5 a.m. (a birdwatcher can personally attest to this), fetching water from a well, cooking a simple meal over charcoal and beginning work or the trek to school. Not once did I see a tractor in a field. Citizens harnessed their zebu, the local cattle, to turn over their fields, but otherwise everything else — the planting, the weeding — was done by hand. How do you ask them to make the effort to protect their incredibly rich and diverse wildlife when they barely eke out a living?
Tourism seems like one of the few hopes. The national parks we visited were full of wondrous creatures, from super-long, bright yellow slugs to adorable lemurs.
Lemurs are a type of primate native only to Madagascar. With its 103 species, the country ranks second in the world in primate diversity. The local guides, who must be hired if a foreigner wants to enter a national park, are adept at finding lemurs, creatures which look a little like a cat crossed with a squirrel.
Although 73 per cent of lemurs are currently considered endangered, we were lucky enough to see about 10 species in our three weeks on the island. These included a nocturnal mouse lemur — the smallest primate in the world, seemingly all eyes and cuteness — our guide picked out of the darkness with his flashlight one night. Another lemur, called the indri, was only heard — its haunting, whale-like calls travel up to three km through the treetops.
Then there was that very special Verreaux's sifaka troop, one of which was plainly curious and climbed down a tree to visit with us. This mostly white lemur has a black face, a striking contrast to its golden eyes.
As my husband snapped pictures of its family, the lemur was quite plainly trying to figure out what the camera was, first looking at it, then up at his family which had the camera directed at it, then back at my husband. You could practically see the little cogs turning in its primate brain.
The birds we were seeking were a little more circumspect, but we nonetheless saw some remarkable species, including the sickle-billed vanga, Madagascar paradise flycatcher, and the Amber Mountain rock-thrush. More than half of the bird species that live and breed here are found nowhere else.
We traversed the country, flying to its northern tip, back to the centre, and then driving to the southwest in search of as many species as we could find. Our flights, vehicles and drivers, accommodations, guides and most meals were arranged by a local company called Cactus Tours Madagascar.
Air Madagascar seemed to have reliable aircraft, though the same could not be said of its infamous scheduling.
The country's roads varied enormously in quality. The far north has obviously fallen into disfavour, if its pothole-ridden roads were any indication. In other areas of the country, the winding roads, though narrow, were perfectly fine.
Madagascar's economy has been in a serious downhill slide, though, since a coup in 2009 led to an international political ostracizing of the current government. That has meant less aid flowing to the country, and for a time, fewer tourists. The areas where our local tour company took us felt safe, though, and indeed, tourism has picked up in the last year.
Meanwhile, the national parks face an ongoing struggle to establish their value among the local people. At Ranomafana National Park, in southeast Madagascar, this task is being tackled by the Centre ValBio, a research and conservation station created 10 years ago. In 2012, the centre, which is affiliated with the American Stony Brook University, opened a brand new wing of its station, located just outside the park.
Florent Ravoavy, co-ordinator of conservation education and outreach at the centre, said that before the creation of the park in 1991 the local people were destroying the park through their ignorance and their struggle to survive.
The local people are of the Tanala tribe — one of 18 tribes in Madagascar. Tanala literally means "people of the forest," and indeed their lives were tightly interwoven with the forest. They took everything they needed from Ranomafana, Ravoavy explained: food, clothing, wood for construction and fire, medicinal plants. But then the park boundaries were established and they were told they couldn't exploit the area anymore. "It was really hard," he said.
The Centre ValBio (stonybrook.edu/commcms/centre-valbio/index.html) introduced programs to teach people in surrounding villages the value of biodiversity. But they also tackle a long list of practical lessons that have more immediate economic value. They teach villagers to grow fruit trees and vegetables. They teach them to farm bees and fish instead of pulling those from the forest. They teach them handicrafts like weaving. And lastly, they teach important lessons on hygiene and health.
Ravoavy said there were pressures on the park from the very beginning. At first, it was slash and burn agriculture. Lately, this has subsided. More recently, high gold prices and an influx of high rollers from urban areas have prompted some local people to try gold mining in the park. This problem started in 2011, and actually resulted in people killing each other over the money earned through this illegal mining. The national park rangers have caught people who have subsequently been sent to jail for this crime, but the activity persists, Ravoavy said.
Tourism offers Malagasy (the name for people of Madagascar) a legal way to make money. Especially if the tourists are interested in lemurs and other endangered wildlife in national parks. At Ranomafana, for instance, there is a bustling meeting spot where tourists pick up the obligatory local guides required for entry.
As long as this kind of business at national parks continues to flourish and offers people a way to earn a living, there is hope for Madagascar's astonishing wildlife.
If you go
How to get there: Madagascar is a bit off the beaten path for Canadians. Main routes involve first flying to London, Frankfurt or Paris. The first two options then require catching another plane to either South Africa or Kenya and then a third flight to Madagascar. There are direct flights from Paris to Madagascar's capital city, Antananarivo. That's because the country is a former French colony. One of the official languages of Madagascar is still French (the other is Malagasy). If you speak a bit of French, you will have a much easier time getting around.
Food: Get used to coffee and baguettes for breakfast. Most of the tourists are French and the industry caters to their preferences. Food at hotels is generally good. However, taking a vaccine such as Dukoral to counter traveller's diarrhea is recommended. I took it and had no issues. My two companions, who didn't, had problems.
Currency: Large banks accept a wide variety of currencies, but euros and U.S. dollars are preferred. The currency there is the ariary. One Canadian dollar was worth about 2,100 ariary. Be prepared to carry around large wads of paper currency. It won't all fit in your wallet.


text: I'm starting to feel like a crazy person, but I just don't understand how this works. Baby boy is nearly 6 months old. I send five 7-oz bottles of breastmilk to daycare (he eats four and they want one more than I think he'll need) plus I nurse him at 6 am before I go to work. In order to get those 28 daycare oz (I usually have the additional seven left over from the day before), I pump three times at work, at 10 pm and again at 2 am. And I'm still only getting around 25 oz (on a good day) so I do it on the weekends, as well, in order to have some frozen to make up the difference during the week. Everyone says that I shouldn't get up in the middle of the night to pump (baby boy has been sleeping through the night since 10 weeks) but the math doesn't work for me to get the oz for him if I only pump during the day. What am I doing wrong?

Paulette Pyle, director of grass roots for Oregonians for Food and Shelter, on Oct. 14 received the Ted Young Award at the annual meeting of the Oregon Forest Industries Council in Sunriver.
The award is presented annually to a member of the OFIC family who exemplifies the virtues of the late Ted Young — a "hardworking, dedicated person of immense integrity, whose word means something. The award recipient is committed to community, family and the forestry profession," the organization said in a prepared statement.
In presenting the award, Kristina McNitt, president of OFIC, said that Pyle "has been an outstanding and unique partner who has been tireless in her advocacy — not just on issues, but also in admonitions to all of us working in natural resources to work together and stay together. She has done so much to unite agriculture and forestry — and not allowed any one of our immediate interests to forsake the greater partnership."
As a lobbyist, Pyle was instrumental in the passage of Oregon's Right-to-Farm and Forest law and Integrated Pest Management bills. She and "her army of grass roots" were also critical in passing the local pesticide pre-emption bill in a 1995 special session and the seed pre-emption bill passed in the special session earlier this month.
In the early 1970s, Pyle became actively involved in politics. With twin babies — one on each hip, she cut her "political teeth" in Idaho, campaigning door-to-door for Steve Symms. Symms won a congressional seat and Pyle was asked to join his staff.
After moving to Oregon in the late 1970s, she was hired by OFS as a temporary worker to organize the defeat of a statewide ballot measure and two Lincoln County measures that would have banned the aerial and roadside application of phoenoxy herbicides. The measure for the statewide ban never made it to the ballot because proponents were unable to gather enough signatures. The two Lincoln County measures were soundly defeated. The OFS Board of Directors then offered her a full-time job and she has been the director of grass roots for the organization ever since.
Pyle resides in Albany with her husband, Ken. They have six grown children and 16 grandchildren.
Oregonians for Food and Shelter is a non-profit coalition to promote the efficient production of quality food and fiber while protecting human health, personal property and the environment, through the integrated, responsible use of pest management products, soil nutrients and biotechnology.

During the eighties many activists in the United States and elsewhere embraced a simple but evocative slogan: "think globally, act locally." The message: In acting at the local level, one needed to understand how global forces affected local reality. In short, trying to tackle local issues without understanding the ever-increasing power of global processes was tactically inappropriate.
By the mid-nineties, activists, particularly from the global South, began to question this logic. Devaki Jain, for example, one of the founders of Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN), a grouping from the poor countries of the world, challenged this slogan. She asked whether this did not trap local people solely in local interventions when in fact many of the causes being pursued locally now need to be advanced in the range of global forums and processes that has become so influential. She argued that perhaps we need to turn this slogan on its head and instead "think locally, act globally."
Rajesh Tandon, the former chair of CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation, and I have recently suggested that social activists need to think both locally and globally and act both locally and globally since the realities of globalization now deprive us of the luxury of national parochialism. This rise toward global activism around a range of issues is happening precisely at a time when many citizens of the world have, for the first time, achieved representative electoral democracy at the national level. Even so, we often have the form of democracy but not the substance.
Democracy should not be reduced to the singular act of casting a ballot once every four or five years. Even in societies with longstanding democratic traditions, democracy is under threat, with high levels of citizen disillusionment and loss of faith in public institutions. More and more, citizens active in various global alliances are challenging basic notions of governance and democracy, including the very nature of the nation-state.
Jessica Mathews, the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote in 1997 of a "power shift" in which governments and intergovernmental organizations are increasingly having to recognize that nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other nonstate actors have become real power brokers in various political, social and economic processes. Lester Salamon of Johns Hopkins University speaks of a "global associational revolution," which he argues is as significant to the twentieth century as the development of the nation-state system. United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan observes that the "growing pains felt by civil society are also being felt in the wider international community. The international community, after all, is a work in progress. It has failed many tests. But it passes much more often, if still not often enough."

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today plans for this year's Island Academy, which includes a broader regional-based Island program, a new regional head coach in Craig Angus, and a more integrated program with the club's Vancouver Academy. Whitecaps FC are also pleased to announce that The Arbutus Meadows Arena will become the Island Academy's official indoor training centre.
"We're very excited to enter our second year of programming at our Whitecaps FC Island Academy," said Whitecaps FC director of soccer development Dan Lenarduzzi. "We'd like to thank Claude Bolton and Harbour City FC for working with us to build our programs in year one and we look forward to working with all clubs, associations, and players on the Island as we continue to move in a direction that supports everyone in the region."
As part of the changes, Whitecaps FC are pleased to announce Craig Angus as Island Academy regional head coach. The native of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England was an assistant coach with the Island Academy during the inaugural year after spending five years as a youth development coach with fellow Major League Soccer (MLS) club New York Red Bulls' Academy. Assisting Angus will be Kevin Lindo, who was also a youth development coach with New York Red Bulls before most recently working as a lead development coach with English club Middlesbrough FC.
"We are excited to have Craig on board to lead the program," noted Lenarduzzi. "Craig is a great young coach and, as part of his development, he will work closely with our Vancouver staff to integrate the programs and provide us with continuity and stability going forward."
Angus will be overseen by Whitecaps FC Pre-Residency and Academy centre head coach Bart Choufour, who will make regular visits to the Island Academy. To further enhance the Vancouver and Island academy centre connection, both Angus and Lindo will be in Vancouver on weekends to work with Choufour and Girls Elite head coach Jesse Symons as part of the Vancouver Academy, Residency, and Girls Elite programs. In addition, as part of the programming, there will be select training weekends in Vancouver, and opportunities for select players to come and train in the Vancouver programs.
In order to support soccer throughout the island, Whitecaps FC's Island Academy will work closely with the Vancouver Island Premier League, as well as continuing to support EA SPORTS BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL) programming – a Whitecaps FC partner league and the club's main youth scouting vehicle – including forwarding players to the Victoria-based Vancouver Island Wave.
Whitecaps FC will continue to offer a Prospects and Skills Academy, with the two programs now integrated more closely. The Skills Academy will now be called the Skills Pre-Prospects (PP) Academy. It will be open to motivated island players ages U-8 to U-12 and act as a development feeder for the invite-only Prospects program for ages U-12 to U-17.
The Skills PP Academy is now open for registration. Phase one and two of the program will run Tuesday evenings at the Arbutus Meadows Arena. U-8 to U-10 boys and girls will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and U-11 and U-12 boys and girls will run 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Players must go through an evaluation process and be selected for the Prospects program. The evaluation schedule is as follows:
• U-12 Boys (Born 2002 to 2004)
Evaluation: Monday, September 30, 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• U-14 Boys (2000/2001) U-16 to U-18 Boys (1996 to 1999).
Evaluation: Monday, September 30, 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
• U-12 Girls (2002 to 2004)
Evaluation: Wednesday October 2, 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• U-14 Girls (2000/2001) U-16 to U-18 Girls (1996 to 1999)
Evaluation: Wednesday, October 2, 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
All selected players will begin training the following week at the same times and days as the evaluations. All evaluations and regular sessions for Phase one and two will be at the Arbutus Meadows Arena.

Treebeard, also known as Fangorn, was the oldest of the Ents, a tree-like being who was a sort of "shepherd of trees". Very tall and stiff-limbed, with bark-like skin and leafy hair, he befriended Meriadoc Brandybuck ("Merry") and Peregrin Took ("Pippin") after they escaped from Orcs. He lived in Fangorn Forest, which was named after him (or he after it).
Like most Ents, Treebeard took a long time to make up his mind. He repeatedly spoke of not "being hasty". Treebeard is described along with Tom Bombadil as the oldest being in Middle-earth. Treebeard however said that there were trees in Fangorn that were "older than he".
Treebeard is the direct translation of the Sindarin name Fangorn (from fang = "beard" and orn = "tree").
Treebeard was inspired in many ways by C.S. Lewis including his speech patterns and some aspects of his personality; a loud, bombastic man known for his powerful stride and overwhelming presence.[source?]

- John Westbrook provides the voice of Treebeard. His actions in the overthrow of Isengard are not mentioned: he merely brings Merry and Pippin to Gandalf.
1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series):
- Stephen Thorne provided the voice of Treebeard.
2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
- Treebeard is a combination of a large animatronic model and a CGI construct; his voice is performed by John Rhys-Davies, who also plays Gimli.
- The Ents at the Entmoot initially decline Merry and Pippin's request for help. Treebeard is carrying the hobbits through the forest, when Pippin gets an idea. He asks Treebeard to carry them towards Isengard, claiming that it is the last place Saruman would look for them because it puts them so close to danger. Treebeard is initially confused, but ultimately succumbs to Pippin's request. When Treebeard gets close to the forest's edge, he sees the devastation wrought by Saruman's orcs. The trees have all been chopped down to serve as fuel for Saruman's war machine. Treebeard then makes a momentous decision, and calls for the other Ents. They attack Isengard and manage to flood it.
2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
- Treebeard, fully CGI, makes some last appearances at Isengard.

Roundup: Hanging Rattan Chairs
The hanging chair was designed by Nanna Ditzel for R. Wengler, Denmark. 1957, but it's obviously a design with lasting power. And lately we've been a little obsessed with it. In a recent interview with Meade Design Group, Jonathan Adler named the hanging chair as the one thing that every house should have. We thought that, as renters, this was a design object that we'd have to just admire from afar. But then we saw the last photo in this series and realized that, all we needed was a stand. Have you ever thought about getting one of these? We found a few relatively reasonably priced sources for chairs and stands here.
Single Hanging Swing from Fran's Wicker, $195 (+ $85 shipping)
John Lewis, £ 289
Tonic Home, $450

Lady Gaga Channels Donatella Versace + Elizabeth Hurley in Safety Pin Dresses
When in Milano, do as the Milanese do, and that means put your best fashion foot forward. Lady Gaga was in Milan, located in her ancestral country of Italy and she channeled fellow Italian, designer diva Donatella Versace, while wearing a safety pin dress that showed off plenty of her tattoos.
Gaga actually wore two safety pinned frocks this week. She was also spotted wearing the same number that actress Elizabeth Hurley turned heads with back in the '90s. You can see her in that "vintage" gown, paired with her chocolate brown hair, here.
For her "other" safety pin frock, Gaga rocked platinum blonde locks, Donatella-style, and extreme winged eyeliner, no doubt courtesy of her trusty makeup artist Tara Savelo. So we'll call her "Gagatella." Gaga looks as glam as ever, and this exotic look suits her. If she wanted to be a carbon copy of Donatella, all she needed to do was get a spray tan.
She captioned the photo with a poignant statement that's relevant to her Body Revolution campaign. "Walk down the runway, but don't puke. It's ok, you just had a salad today." It's a pointed reference to model diets and the recent criticism she's received since adding a few pounds to her petite frame.
A few extra pounds or not, Gaga looks fabulous and fashion forward. You know, the usual. You can also see her posing in a red frock with Donatella here.

Executive Vice President and Provost Linda Ray Pratt will step down June 30, 2012, to return to her professional roots in the UNL Department of English, University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken announced.
"Linda Pratt has served this university in so many ways over more than four decades, and while I hate to lose her great skill in the provost's office, it is fitting that she is going to finish her career in the classroom," Milliken said. "Linda has been a great partner in helping lead many important initiatives over the last six years and she will be greatly missed."
Pratt will have served as NU's highest academic officer for six years. She joined the faculty in the UNL Department of English in 1968. From 1995 to 2005, she served as chair of the department and she also was interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 2000 to 2001.
Pratt said she is looking forward to teaching again in her areas of expertise – Victorian and early modern poetry – and pursuing her research interests.
"I worked many years as a faculty member before going into full-time administration," Pratt said, "and I want to do that again. I've missed the poems and teaching and writing about them."
The university will conduct a national search for Pratt's successor. Milliken said he hopes to have a new executive vice president and provost in place prior to the beginning of the next academic year.
Among Pratt's highest accomplishments as executive vice president and provost has been her leadership of the implementation of the new Student Information System, a project that included the four NU campuses and the three campuses of the Nebraska State College System. Pratt also worked with faculty to draft the proposal for the new Buffett Early Childhood Institute and proposed the Thompson Learning Communities at UNL, UNO and UNK.
"As provost, I have had the opportunity to help bring into being some of the great new projects that are moving the university forward," Pratt said. "The Buffett Early Childhood Institute, the Thompson Learning Communities and the OnCourse program with the community colleges are among the projects that help students and advance our research efforts.

I just love this minimalistic and easy to use program that helps you to have your most used snippets in one place. I have written about it more on the article about other snippet programs. However, after some time it got to my mind that there are not any backup functionality. In my opinion, it is a big disadvantage of this program, but you can create a backup manually.
I have found that Snippely saves its database in catalog on Windows 7: C:\Users\{Your user name}\AppData\Roaming and you can make the copy of this file for some later use. I have tried to reinstall fresh copy of the program and the backup worked just fine.
Just do not forget to create those backups constantly!

In 2008, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature together with Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala) and the National Science and Technology Council launched a project to assess and characterize secondary plant succession and proposals for ecological restoration around areas with Pinabete (Abies guatemalensis Rehder) in the upper watersheds of the Coatán and Suchiate Rivers, department of San Marcos.
San Marcos, Guatemala, November 2012 (IUCN) – On September 21, 2012, pilot forest restoration sites and areas with natural regeneration of Pinabete, a Guatemalan fir tree, were visited in the upper Coatán and Suchiate watersheds. Accompanying the group were Josué Morales, Manager of the National Forests Institute, and members of the National Council on Protected Areas.
The visit was focused on forest restoration in degraded areas and adjoining Pinabete forest promoted by IUCN and USAC with important participation by the Ixchiguán municipal government. The municipality's previous reforestation efforts, supported by different actors, had all failed and few Pinabete took hold. With IUCN's support the municipal corporation signed an agreement establishing and approving a process of restoration and ecological succession prior to reforestation of Cerro Cotzic. This hilltop is important for municipal water catchment and regulation.
The area of this forest restoration experience is dominated by Pinabete, designated as being in danger of extinction under the country's Protected Areas Law, legislative decrees 4-89 and 110-96. This is mainly due to sheep grazing, use for cooking and housing construction, and land use change from forest to agricultural production. In 1999 total area with this fir was estimated at 25,255 ha, generally fragmented in over 60 forests—80% under 100 ha and 55% less than 25 ha in size. Original distribution of the species has been placed at 558,858 ha, areas that could not be recovered.
In the Flor de Mayo community, Tacaná municipality, located 60 km from the seat of San Marcos at an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level, visitors examined areas of natural regeneration and voluntary parcels of Pinabete forest restoration using nurse plants. The key is to be able to manage natural regeneration areas by creating a more favorable environment for growth of the species and preventing competition between trees due to high densities. Management of these plantations is not allowed under current legislation of the National Council on Protected Areas prohibiting management actions in these areas. Participants of the visit discussed the importance of conducting research on management of natural Pinabete plantations so that advocacy can be carried out for a legal mechanism enabling the appropriate management.
It is also important to reestablish ecosystems primarily degraded by human activities and animals. Thanks to the efforts by IUCN and USAC through investigation and systematization of local experiences, forest restoration activities have been implemented in these ecosystems, in some cases taking advantage of existing nurse plants.
Forest restoration is a human activity that imitates or accelerates ecological succession, the process in which an ecosystem regenerates naturally. Forest restoration can be considered human-assisted ecological succession.
The object is thus to recover degraded areas, expand forest cover in land with this vocation and restore ecosystems, enabling forest as the entirety of its species to carry out hydrological regulation. Productive activities for commercial use of Pinabete are also promoted in voluntary plantations.
Through the investigation process, IUCN and USAC have identified stages of succession and the main species of nurse plants in the zone, making it possible to start recovery of degraded areas in the upper basins of the Coatán and Suchiate, located along the Guatemala-Mexico border.
The main conclusions of visit participants about forest restoration were that recovering forests in upper watersheds is important because of their regulatory functions, especially water, and that given climate change effects, vulnerability increases with latent threats in the zones, including heavy rain and droughts. Among the other opinions expressed, it was felt that forest restoration could be applied in lower-lying areas and with different species when the aim is likewise to recover forest mass.
During the activity, INAB's manager was shown the results of forest restoration using nurse plants such as arrayan, mozote, chicajol and others enabling a high level of Pinabete to take hold (over 80%). He indicated his willingness to have forest restoration included in the new forest incentives programs.

Much ado is often made over which business schools are the "best" or the "most prestigious," but status and self-importance won't pay those student loans. The U.S. News & World Report's data showed that having Harvard, Stanford or Penn emblazoned across the top of an M.B.A. did not necessarily lead to employment for 2013 graduates. In fact, no schools in U.S. News' top 10 best business schools made their top 10 list of 2013 business school graduates with the highest job placement rates three months after graduation. The rankings are based on students who were enrolled full-time in Fall 2013. Below find the top 10 business schools to attend if you want to find a job upon graduation:
Before newly admitted business school students break the lease on their new apartments in Boston and start driving to Oklahoma, it should be noted that U.S. News compiled this top 10 list based on information provided by the business schools and schools were not required to report the types of jobs in which graduates were employed. In general, the market for M.B.A.s appears to be thriving as almost 82 percent of full-time 2013 M.B.A. graduates were employed three months after graduation. Thus confirming what many law graduates already suspected, we should have gone to business school.

Eye of Sauron
Revision as of 14:17, 10 June 2012 by KingAragorn (Talk | contribs)
- This page should be merged with Sauron#Appearance.
- "But suddenly the Mirror went altogether dark, as dark as if a hole had been opened in the world of sight. . . In the abyss there appeared a single Eye that slowly grew, until it filled nearly all the Mirror. So terrible was it that Frodo stood rooted, unable to cry out or to withdraw his gaze. The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing."
- ― The Mirror of Galadriel, The Lord of the Rings
The Eye of Sauron, called by many various names, was the symbol of Sauron the Dark Lord. This symbol was adopted to show his unceasing vigilance and piercing perception, and was displayed on the weaponry of his servants, or at least the orcs.
Portrayal in adaptations
1995-8: Middle-earth Collectible Card Game:
- The card "Eye of Sauron" appeared in The Wizards (the first set for the game), used as to improve the prowess of each automatic-attack against other players. "The Lidless Eye" appeared in the set The Lidless Eye, and can be used by players to enhance their general influence.[1]
2001-2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy:
- In Peter Jackson's film adaptation, the Eye featured as a physical, living object between the pinnacles of Barad-dûr. It also literally searched the lands with a red light like a spotlight, and in the film the light could be seen constantly sweeping the lands. It was quenched when the One Ring was cast into Orodruin.
