Re: Chasing Tail
this is bad!!! very very bad!!! i don't think anyone that is voting for this is actually opening it up and looking at it because if they did there would be no votes for this at all that's how bad this is!!! i think this is the most half assed job he has ever submitted!!! The anatomy is horribly wrong, the body is more of a blob (or like a seal like mentioned above) and only 3 toes?? the tail looks like it was added at the last min. i think this is probably your worst submission ever!!
Re: Fallen Penguin
I think its funny that a huge number of shirts have a blue color scheme. Since the ancient Greek (as early as homer) most likely saw a very de-saturated version of the color blue, and in fact did not even have a word for it.
Hey! I'm on this shirt! Does that mean I get a free one? ;)
Re: Ichthyocentaur
FWIW, this is likely to be sacrificed to the rejectionator. Mammary displays aren't deemed family friendly.
The fish tail is...awkward. It's interesting, but awkward.

Re: Underworld Blossom {v2}
Awesome, I much prefer this one, and because you listened to opinions I will be voting for both this one, and the other one which i liked less. Thank you for listening :o)
I hope one of these prints, this would be my pick. The orange in V1 looks good but the white here puts the focus on Persephone in exactly the right way for me.

So "Ichthyocentaur" gets the rejectionator but this doesn't. The only real difference is the quality of the art.

University Requirements in Theology
University Requirements in Theology allow all ND students the opportunity to examine faith in an academic setting
All Notre Dame undergraduate students are introduced to the practice of theology as faith seeking understanding through a two-course sequence.
Foundations of Theology:
First Theology Requirement
THEO 10001 Foundations of Theology: Biblical/Historical
THEO 10002 Foundations of Theology: Biblical/Historical
THEO 13183 Theology University Seminar
THEO 13002 Honors Foundation of Theology
A Development of Theology Course:
Second Theology Requirement
The second required course, or the "development" course, involves the development of a major theme of Christian theology through the centuries or across schools of thought. Development courses are always numbered Theo 2xxxx. Courses in the upcoming semester that meet the second requirement may be found through Class Search.
The following development courses are recommended for international students and students from non-Christian backgrounds:
Theo 20201: God
Theo 20251: The Catholic Faith
Theo 20605: Intro to Catholic Moral Theology
Theo 20830: Islam and Christian Theology
Theo 20828: Christianity & World Religions
On Satisfying the Requirement Through Credit Transfer
Students sometimes seek to satisfy the university requirement in Theology by taking summer courses at other universities or while studying abroad. Any student seeking to satisfy a university requirement by transferring credit from a course taken at another university must have this course approved by the Department. To do so, contact Assistant DUS Professor Anthony Pagliarini at firstname.lastname@example.com.
One of the two university-required courses in Theology must be taken at Notre Dame. The first university-required course, Foundations in Theology (1xxxx), grounds students in the discipline of theology through the study of the Bible and the theology of the Early Church. It is unusual to find this combination of features at other colleges and universities.
More often, students will be successful in finding a course at another college or university (whether in the summer or while studying abroad) to satisfy the second requirement in theology. However, students should remember that development courses (Theo 2xxxx) examine the development of a central Christian doctrine or theme within Christian tradition through the centuries. Transfer courses receiving approval to satisfy either requirement must match closely the characteristics of the courses offered at Notre Dame. Please review the requirement rationale here before submitting a course for pre-approval.
If you have questions about our undergraduate programs, contact Assistant DUS Professor Anthony Pagliarini at firstname.lastname@example.com.

With the average marriage age on the rise, it is no surprise that single people now make up a significant proportion of the property market. In 2015, one-fifth of homebuyers were unmarried. The lifestyle, needs and wants of single people are likely to differ from those of couples and families. Here's what to consider if you're marketing your home to the single sector, or looking for a place of your own.
Plenty to do within walking distance
Without a partner or children to cater to, single people have the freedom to spend time however they please. An ideal local area looks different for them – hip cafés and art galleries take the place of good schools on the list of priorities. Families often look for a quiet, suburban neighbourhood with good transport links, but single buyers tend to favour properties with entertainment options closer by.
Safety and security
Safety comes first for single homeowners, and friendly communities are ideal for creating a sense of security. Bear in mind that they regularly return to an empty property alone: good street lighting, secure window locks and a concierge will all set single buyers' minds at rest. Likewise, proximity to busy roads and bustling businesses might be preferable to secluded areas.
Low maintenance
Living alone means taking responsibility for all aspects of the property – inconveniences that everyone could do without. For this reason, singles are better suited to properties that don't take a lot of work to maintain. Old buildings may be romantic, but they often require a lot of upkeep. The same is true of properties with gardens. A new-build apartment with an onsite concierge service and handyman is ideal for those lacking time and spare helping hands.
Good resale or rental value
Most people don't plan to be single forever. Single house-hunters may be getting on the property ladder now, with a view to upgrading when they enter a relationship. Therefore, it's important for a property to be easy to sell on in a few years' time – or rent out to young professionals as an added income stream.
Plans for expansion
On the other hand, forward-thinking single buyers could be investing in the long term, with no intention of moving once marriage or children are on the horizon. They will be seeking properties that either have multiple bedrooms already or potential for extensions. Multipurpose spaces are an advantage in this case. For example, a large study might become a nursery in time.
If you're looking for a new home, speak to Engel & Völkers. Our portfolio features an extensive range of luxury properties for single homeowners, from townhouses to sprawling penthouse apartments. Contact us online, or at one of our 700 locations worldwide, for expert advice.

About Parma Spa and Center for Health
In the lobby of Parma Spa and Center for Health, a sculpture of a woman balancing on a jade-colored orb acts as an axis for a spiraling, gleaming ribbon. The statue represents the Ayurvedic philosophy of health, a belief that the client will be "on top of the world" physically, spiritually and aesthetically. Ayurvedic medicine strives to prevent illness by a proper balance of wellness before disease happens. "Well-being is physical, mental and spiritual," owner and founder Dr. S Nicky Singh says in a feature on WUSA 9. "I believe in this with a passion. There is a need for people to look at themselves preventatively." The lead team for Ayurvedic is headed by Dr. Thara and Dr. Ather, with a fellowship in anti-aging medicine and heads the Aesthetics department. Rosalinda Sutherland heads the Eastern therapeutic touch therapies.
In addition to med-spa-quality services such as Dermafusion facials, fraxel treatments and some of the newest innovative skins care services including liquid facelifts, staff members trained in Ayurvedic medicine perform massages and body treatments with healing herbal oils that invigorate and detoxify the body. Physicians are on-hand to supervise, and they also provide health care ranging from counseling to cardiology. "The presence of physicians reinforces the idea that there's a quality to what we do," Dr. Singh says.
The ambience at Parma is of old world elegance. Oversize gilded mirrors reflect the twinkling lights of an imported Venetian chandelier, which in turn casts light over Italian linens, chamois robes, and a Limoges tea service filling steaming cups with herbal tea. "We're not trying to create a place which is just glamorous … The idea was to show that we worry about every little detail," she says. A place where time waits for you for a change and you leave rejuvenated.

Only Action News was there as East Norriton police examined the white Volkswagen Passat they had been looking for. It belongs to one of the victims, who owns the Shuler's Jewelry store nearby.
Police say four masked gunmen got away with more than a million dollars in merchandise. They had ambushed the store owner and his wife at their Chester County home last week, and then drove them to Shuler's in the Passat to rob them again. Police say Action News viewers contacted them about the car, after seeing our report on the case Tuesday night at 11. Maher Loghmari and Dea Antoniolo say the 2012 Volkswagen Passat had been parked near their home on Mill Street in East Norriton since at least Thursday of last week.
A $25,000 reward was announced Tuesday for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the four gunmen.
It was back on January 31st at around 7:00 p.m. that the owner of Shuler's Jewelry was accosted by the gunmen in the driveway of his home in the Berwyn section of Tredyffrin Township.
He was taken inside his home where he and his wife were tied up with duct tape.
The suspects then put the victim in the backseat of his car and drove him to his jewelry store, where he would be robbed again.
"The individual was taken in his own car, held down in the back seat with a hood over his head," Tredyffrin Township Police Detective Sgt. Todd Bereda said.
At the jewelry store, he was forced to open two safes and the bandits helped themselves to $1.5-million in jewelry.
Police are now working with the FBI and regional law enforcement to see if this crime may be connected to the Bixler Jewelry store robbery in South Whitehall back in December which also began with a home invasion in Bethlehem.
"The more jobs these people were involved in committing, the greater the chance that evidence or transferred evidence from one person to another, from one crime scene to another that can be gathered," Bereda said.
Police believe these men are practiced professionals who are bound to strike again. They fear someone could get hurt.
The reward is being offered by the Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company ($20,000) and the Pennsylvania Jeweler's Association ($5,000).
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Tredyffrin Township Police Department at 610-647-1440.

Industrial Magnetics Inc. offers four distinct magnetic separation solutions for removing fine metal particles from gravity flow processing streams including the drawer-in-housing, the large tube housing, the OX, and the RotoDrawer. Choosing the right magnetic separator for gravity-fed processing systems requires taking into account many different factors about the product being processed and the processing conditions. For instance, does the product have a high moisture content or particle size, such as flours, cake mixes, or corn starch? Is the product abrasive or corrosive, or does it tend to bridge or gall? Is there a high ambient temperature or humidity level? As all of these factors influence the application and require different methods of handling, IMI's gravity feed magnetic separators are designed with features such as larger tubes, Nedox coatings, or rotating tubes to address each application.

G1310, Reviewed October 1993
This guide tells how to manage low-temperature, in-bin drying of shelled corn. Low-temperature drying is natural air drying (using only a fan) or natural air drying plus supplemental heat to raise the air temperature an additional 2 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit. Natural air drying uses the heat in the outside air plus the heat released from the fan motor, which raises the air temperature about 2 degrees Fahrenheit. The supplemental heat may be provided by gas heaters, electric heaters, solar collectors, etc.
Low-temperature drying has two major advantages: energy efficiency and high quality dried grain.
You can manage low-temperature drying as layer drying, controlled filling, or a combination of the two. This guide addresses all three options.
This guide helps manage grain drying by recommending the depth of wet grain to be added to the bin for various combinations of bin diameter and fan sizes. The depth of grain recommended gives the same air flow per bushel of wet grain for all the bin-fan combinations. Therefore, all combinations have the same probability of drying without mold growth.
Weather records in southwest, central and northern Missouri have been analyzed, and the recommended depths should allow successful drying nine years out of 10. Given the established depth of fill, this guide helps estimate the time required to dry the wet grain and suggests how the drying should be managed. Variation in weather and fan characteristics can change the time required to dry the grain.
If you have difficulty determining how to manage your low-temperature drying from this guide, contact your area agricultural engineering specialist at your local MU Extension center for help.
With low-temperature layer drying, the bin is filled in two or more fillings or layers and each fill layer is dried before the next layer is added. The depth of each fill depends on the moisture content of the corn, the depth of dried corn already in the bin and the amount of air delivered by the fans. Adding layers at depths greater than those recommended increases the chance of mold.
Because the time to dry a layer of wet grain can take four to 14 days, layer drying works best where several bins are equipped for low-temperature drying. Harvesting can proceed more rapidly because the grain is drying in several bins at the same time.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 give recommended depth of fill for different depths of dried corn already in the bin and for different moisture contents of corn in the fill layer. The depth of fill from Figures 1, 2 or 3 multiplied by the fill adjustment factor in Table 1 gives the depth of fill for the particular fan (or fans) and bin diameter used. If you are selecting a fan (or fans) for your bin, the combinations of fan(s) and bin diameters where the fan factor is bolded in Table 1 are the most economical.
Figure 1
Depth of fill and drying time for natural-air drying. The only heat comes from the fan and fan motor, which increase the air temperature about 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Figure 2
Depth of fill and drying time for air heated 2 degrees Fahrenheit by supplemental heater, above natural-air drying.
Figure 3
Depth of fill and drying time for air heated 4 degrees Fahrenheit by supplemental heater, above natural-air drying.
Table 1
Depth adjustment factor* for fan(s)**
After the depth of fill has been determined, the estimated time to dry the layer is shown in Figures 1, 2 or 3. This is an estimate. The next layer can be added when a visual inspection or a moisture test determines that the top surface of the last layer added has dried to 15 percent moisture or less.
This procedure can be simplified by working with wet corn depths only. The chance of mold will not be increased. Next, find the depth of next fill and the approximate drying time on the moisture content line in Figures 1, 2 or 3.
Table 2
Volume shrink of shelled corn dried to 15 percent moisture
Low-temperature layer drying does present harvesting limitations at moisture contents above 24 percent. Several fills are required and you must wait for the last fill to dry before adding another layer. If the cost of field losses are combined with the cost of drying, the least costly drying calls for the initial fill to average about 24 percent moisture. The moisture content of the corn in the field is decreasing while the initial fill dries, and it is often low enough so that the bin can be completely filled with the second filling. Harvesting usually is completed in about three weeks.
The following three examples illustrate how to use this guide to manage an in-bin, low-temperature layer drying system for shelled corn.
27-foot bin diameter
One 7.5-horsepower fan
Natural air drying
Initial fill moisture is 24 percent

Air temperature is increased 4 degrees Fahrenheit above natural air using a gas burner.
Figure 12
Figure 13
Figure 14
Figure 15
Figure 16
Fills can be made before the top surface of a previous fill dries to 15 percent moisture if you carefully control the depth of wet corn above the dried corn. The total depth of wet corn permitted depends on the moisture content of the undried corn in the bin.
Steps for filling while undried corn from a previous fill is in the bin are:
Table 3
Guide for controlled filling
Never add wet corn with a moisture content higher than that previously placed in the bin unless the surface corn of the previous fill has dried to 15 percent moisture. The next example illustrates how you manage controlled filling.
Same conditions as in Example 1
The filling schedule to maintain 5 feet of undried grain is listed in Table 4.
Table 4
Filling schedule
The actual filling schedule should be faster than shown here because the corn moisture in the field is going down while you fill the bin. Add corn at any time to bring the depth of wet corn up to 5 feet when probing shows that the drying front is less than 5 feet from the surface.
You can combine layer drying and controlled filling if such a procedure fits your harvesting schedule better. For example, after you place two or three layers in the bin with layer drying, it may be desirable to finish filling the bin before the surface of the top layer is dry. You can add corn if you follow the procedure for controlled filling. In fact, you can switch from one procedure to the other at any time during harvest if you follow the recommendations of this guide for whatever procedure you use.
Keep in mind that properly dried grain can go out of condition in storage. It is a valuable possession; protect it.

The Portuguese scored the opening two goals for the Blancos before his Argentine team-mate added a third and fourth to the scoreline
Copenhagen have endured a disastrous start to their domestic season and never looked like picking up only their second ever away win in the Champions League as Ronaldo opened the scoring after 21 minutes at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
The Portugal star - who scored a hat-trick at Galatasaray on matchday one - added another in the second half after a magnificent piece of skill from Di Maria.
And the Argentine winger rounded off the win with a double of his own in the final 20 minutes to put the Blancos in firm control of Group B with six points from two games.
The Spanish giants suffered a Liga derby defeat to Atletico Madrid for the first time since 1999 last Saturday and coach Carlo Ancelotti responded by making five changes.
Fabio Coentrao, Sergio Ramos, Alvaro Arbeloa, Isco and Diego Lopez dropped to the bench as Marcelo, Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Luka Modric and Iker Casillas started, with the latter making his 129th Champions League appearance.
Copenhagen boss Stale Solbakken made three alterations from their own weekend defeat to Brondby, with Ragnar Sigurdsson, Rurik Gislason and Youssef Toutouh replacing Georg Margreitter, Cristian Bolanos and Fanendo Adi.
The visitors did a good job of keeping Madrid at bay in the opening stages, but the hosts eventually made the breakthrough in the 21st minute.
Marcelo's deep cross evaded goalkeeper Johan Wiland, giving Ronaldo an easy headed finish at the back post for his first of the game.
Di Maria then wasted two great chances to double the lead and Copenhagen almost capitalised on the hosts' profligacy.
Four minutes before the break Casillas failed to catch a corner, allowing Nicolai Jorgensen to head goalwards, but the ball hit the crossbar before dropping to Modric who cleared.
Ronaldo went close to getting his second in the 64th minute when his curling free-kick from the edge of the area landed on top of the net, but he was not to be denied a minute later.
Di Maria got to the byline to produce a cross with an outrageous piece of skill, and Ronaldo burst in front of his marker to head home again.
And with 19 minutes to play, Di Maria made amends for his first-half misses with a wonderful finish as he cut in from the right and hammered a shot past the helpless Wiland.
Real saw out the final stages with consumate ease and then scored a fourth for good measure.
Di Maria pounced on a loose ball, held off his marker before smashing a low effort into the bottom corner from just inside the area, rounding off an eye-catching display from Ancelotti's men.

To protect innocent civilians from the harmful effects of weapons of war, "international humanitarian law remains an essential safety measure not to be weakened," a Vatican official said. Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican's representative to U.N. agencies in Geneva, focused on the responsibility to protect civilian populations from harmful weapons in an address on Nov. 14 to a conference reviewing the international Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. "The responsibility of the C.C.W. to protect civilian populations rests on its ability to comply with the provisions of international humanitarian law and even in strengthening them," he said. "The C.C.W. has an important place and role in the international system that seeks to reduce the impact of indiscriminate weapons on civilian populations, on the development and implementation of the conditions that allow an exit from war situations," he said. Archbishop Tomasi specifically expressed concern over the lack of consensus on protocols addressing certain types of mines and cluster munitions, which are being used in several conflicts.

1 Powerful Secret Why You Can't Motivate Yourself to Exercise
By the time you are done reading this entire description, you may realize the power of this 1 secret…when you click "More" below you will find out exactly what it is.
Answer this…How much time, money and frustration have you spent on 10 minute abs, all in one gyms and thigh masters that have failed you?
These things even worked for a short while, but then you go back to your old routines and the couch potato syndrome happens again. Sometimes it's enough to make you stop and cry. As you continue to read this, you will find out exactly why this cycle keeps happening to you, but
Let me ask you this first…
What would your life be like 5, 10, 15 years from now if you keep doing what you are doing?
Do this for me-ask yourself each of the questions below (one at a time) and after each one close your eyes and visualize the answer…
How is your overall health? (What do you look and feel like)?
Are you able to move around as well and do the things you've always wanted to do?
Are you able to play with your kids and grandchildren?
Are you around at all?
Now, let's turn the tables…Why do you want to make a change? That's why you are here reading this entire description to begin with isn't it?
Just imagine your life when you stick to exercising permanently…
Picture how you will look
Hear all the compliments people are pouring onto you each day
Feel those designer clothes in a size you could only dream of before
More importantly…
How are you moving? How are you feeling? How much confidence do you have now?
That is something you could live with for sure, is it not? Ok, I've promised you the secret to why things haven't worked in the past and how you can easily change this right now in a short amount of time. Here it is…
All Exercise products work and none of them work.
I know, I know right now you're saying "what are you talking about?, I read this whole thing just for this?" Just continue to the end and trust me, it will be worth it. Life changing kind of worth it…
Think about this for a second…any exercise product works if you change your internal thoughts, beliefs and actions to model that of someone who is healthy, strong and fit. But, no product will ever work if you don't have that internal "map".
But the good news is you can make a permanent change quickly and easily. And that's where we can help you.
The reason why "will power" doesn't work is because we are simply motivating ourselves temporarily and not actually making new connections in the brain that cause permanent change.
The great news is you don't need to spend hours in therapy to figure out "why" if you just change the connections in your brain at the subconscious level.
By sending daily messages to your subconscious using our app, you can quickly and effortlessly eliminate limiting beliefs that cause you to be stuck in the couch potato syndrome, which will allow you to stick to an exercise program permanently.
So, I'm sure you are wondering how much it's going to cost you to eliminate your exercise problems forever?
That's the best part
For a good therapist it will cost you $150 per session, but we don't want you to spend anywhere near $150…
In fact, right now we don't even want you to spend more than it costs for your breakfast in the morning. That's right, you can try out a Lite version of our app for way less than some of the best subliminal DVD's on the market. Some of these Lite versions are offered for less than $19. You can make permanent change quickly and easily right on your phone !
Other benefits of the Lite version include:
- Fully functional (except the personalization)

Cameron makes surprise visit to Scotland before vote
LERWICK, Scotland — British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday became the first prime minister in 34 years — since Margaret Thatcher in 1980 — to visit the remote Shetland islands. The surprise visit comes ahead of a referendum on Scottish independence.
Cameron's two-day visit to the area that sits more than 100 miles off the Scottish mainland and is closer to Oslo, Norway, than London is part of a drive to make his government's case that Scotland — all of Scotland, including its various clusters of distant islands — would be better off economically by remaining part of the United Kingdom.
The vote on Sept. 18 will decide whether Scotland opts to sever more 300 years of political union with England and Wales. Most polling projects the vote will fail.
"It's a bit late in the day this referendum," said Calum Ferguson, 35, an oil services worker who was relaxing Tuesday on the dock at Lerwick's quaint inner harbor.
"We sold our souls to the English a long time ago," he said, laughing.
Shetland has a population of just over 20,000 people, but the vast oil and gas reserves in the surrounding North Sea have brought prosperity to the islands in the form of pristine roads, well-funded schools and a disproportionate number of outstanding sports and leisure complexes.
Cameron has been aggressively campaigning for months to ensure that revenues from those reserves ultimately continue to flow to Britain's coffers rather than any new Scottish state ruled from Edinburgh. Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has maintained that Scots would flourish by adopting a fully independent parliament and governing institutions, as well as rejecting the monarchy and other shared constitutional practices.
On Wednesday, the prime minister will travel to Glasgow to attend the opening ceremonies of the Commonwealth Games, which has participants from 71 countries and two territories.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The Curiosity rover has drilled a test hole in a Martian rock in preparation for the real thing.
Images released Thursday by NASA showed a ring of powder that was generated by the drill at the end of the rover's robotic arm. The hole measured less than an inch deep.
Scientists planned to analyze the latest activity — dubbed a "mini drill test" — before commanding Curiosity to drill deeper. One of its major tasks is to drill into a rock and transfer the ground-up powder to its onboard laboratories for analysis — a first on Mars.
Curiosity landed in an ancient crater near the Martian equator last year on a mission to gauge whether environmental conditions were favorable for microbes.

Officials: Strikes kill 25 in Pakistan tribal area
BANNU, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of families have fled Pakistani tribal areas near the Afghan border where the air force has been targeting Taliban insurgents and their hideouts for over a week, officials said Tuesday.
Military and intelligence officials said that jets and helicopter gunships killed nearly 25 insurgents in the latest strikes on Tuesday.
There is no way to confirm the claim independently. The lawless region is off limits to journalists. The officials spoke anonymously as they were not authorized to talk to media.
Most of the fleeing families are headed from North Waziristan to neighboring Bannu city, said Lutfur Rehman, an officer with the provincial disaster management authority. Some of the families are heading to live with their relatives, he said.
Others, like 65-year-old Janan Wazir and his 12 relatives, say they have no idea where to take stay. "We really don't know where we are going," he told The Associated Press in Bannu. He and his family were squeezed in a mini-van with household items stuffed inside and packed on its roof. "We can't see our women, our children in pain anymore." He lived in Mir Ali town, which being a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban has been a target of many of the strikes.
Baitullah Wazir and his neighbor Zahir Wazir in Mir Ali also arrived in Bannu. They said aircraft and helicopters been carrying out strikes almost every night, and that they did know who were the people being targeted. "We just know that we are looking for some peaceful place," he said.
Tens of thousands of Pakistanis have died over the last decade in the Taliban's war against the state. The militants aim to enforce their harsh brand of Islamic Shariah.
The Waziristan tribal region is home to a mix of local and foreign al-Qaida linked militants. Militants who fight against the American and its allied NATO troops across border in Afghanistan also operate there.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif long has favored peace talks over military action to end the bloodshed in the northwest, but he is also under pressure from critics to retaliate for any Taliban violence. Critics also say the militants have also used the peace talks to strengthen and regroup their ranks, and call for military operations to disrupt the insurgents' use of their northwestern bases to stage attacks elsewhere in the country.
Local media reported that Sharif's Cabinet was scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss options for operations in the tribal region.
One of the two Pakistani officials claimed that the latest air strikes were specifically targeting compounds where the militants train their recruits and store explosives and ammunition.
Pakistan has regularly launched strikes against Taliban targets after recent peace talks broke over the killings of 23 soldiers by the militants.
Several of Sharif's ministers have recently said that the negotiation was still an option, but the Taliban have to acknowledge the country's constitution as supreme law. The militants have rejected the constitution.
His Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed also said that the government knew about of the families being displaced. "They are our responsibility. We will take care of them," he said, speaking on the local Geo TV channel.
Rehman, the provincial officer with disaster management, said that his department had made preparations to accommodate 600,000 to 700,000 displaced people.
Shahzad reported from Islamabad. Associated Press Writer Riaz Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan contributed to this report.

There were two moments from last weekend's MMA double-header that jumped out at us during the events, but which we didn't give any attention to afterwards. Luckily, we now have videos of both.
First up, Ronda Rousey gives Strikeforce sideline-reporter Heidi Androl the look of death when Androl dares to ask about her plan B for Miesha Tate. (Again, it's another armbar, just like Chuck Norris's beard has another beard behind it, and behind that beard is a fist, or something like that.) Not trying to hate, but most of Heidi's fighter interviews end up feeling awkward for one reason or another. Didn't Karyn Bryant used to handle those for Showtime? Can't they get her back?
Related discussion question: Is Ronda Rousey the Chael Sonnen of women's MMA — a born entertainer who is playing a role in order to promote herself — or is she the Nick Diaz of women's MMA — an athletic savant who just isn't as good at relating to other human beings as she is at fighting?
After the jump, Demetrious Johnson shows the bare minimum of concern for Ian McCall's aching balls.
Was Mighty Mouse really "classless" here? Or is it not his responsibility to pause the action if the ref isn't stepping in?

Sitting here a few hours after first hearing the Michael Vick news, and I'm still having a difficult time making sense of the whole thing.
This franchise is calculated in everything it does. From rookie contracts to free agent additions to the way it discloses injuries to the press.
During training camp, one writer from out of town commented how the Eagles run their team like a government agency, not a football outfit.
With the signing of Vick, they have invited a media circus. Everyone will be at the NovaCare Complex Friday -- CNN, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, you name it.
There will be protests. There will be fan outrage. There will be controversy.
Jeffrey Lurie, Joe Banner, Tom Heckert and Andy Reid obviously took that into account when they decided to bring Vick in. And somehow they thought it was still worth it.
Even though they have not seen him on film. Even though they say he's a quarterback, and they already have a quarterback (and a backup for that matter). Even though he has not stepped on the field since the end of the 2006 season.
Check out what McNabb said when asked if Vick's addition would reduce his own role as the QB.
"If I'm playing quarterback for 65 plays, and we have 70 plays, and he takes five snaps, I mean I think I can rest with five snaps," McNabb said.
So that's what this is about? Five snaps a game? That's worth the risk? The circus? The controversy?
To be clear, I'm not saying they definitely should not have made the move. I'm just trying to figure out their reasoning. Someone help me out here.
Other notes from Reid and McNabb tonight:
** McNabb: "There's no threat for me. There's no threat for Kolb. It's an opportunity for us to add another weapon to our offense, and to our team." Doesn't exactly sound like he thinks Vick is coming in as a QB, does it?
** Yet later he said: "I think people look at the Wildcat as a copout. He's a quarterback. He's not a utility guy. He's not a receiver. He's not a running back. ... The Wildcat offense works in college. It was something that came out last year. Some teams started to do it, but I don't think that it'll last that long."
** We generally try to separate the personal lives of athletes and coaches from their professional lives. But after listening to Reid tonight, there's no question that his family situation played a factor in his decision to bring in Vick.
"Well I'll be very honest with you," Reid said. "I've kind of followed Michael's situation very close with the things that my boys've been through. They were right around the same time so I've had a chance to kind of follow that and I know the things that Michael's gone through. On the other side of that, the things that can happen there, the changes that can be made."
** Reid: "I didn't work him out. He looks like he's in good shape."
Did he see any film?
"I didn't," Reid said. "I talked to some people and didn't look at any film. I don't believe that he had any film, not that I was able to locate."
This is the strange part to me. How can they have any idea about what kind of role Vick can play when they haven't seen him work out at all?
** I wonder how Kevin Kolb feels about the addition, and I wonder if there are any updates with Kolb's injury.
** Reid said the team could carry four quarterbacks. I don't think so. A.J. Feeley's days are numbered.
** A year ago, if I would have told you this city would be home to Pedro Martinez and Michael Vick, you would have said I was spending too much time in Todd Herremans' van.
** By the way, I've received some e-mails/Tweets asking for my take on tonight's game. I barely saw any of it, but it's DVR'd. I plan on watching it tomorrow or Saturday and providing a full breakdown. If Vick's only going to be on the field for five snaps a game, you are correct. There are bigger concerns with this team.
** Vick's press conference is Friday at 11. Check philly.com for updates, live coverage, etc.

While estrogen levels decrease during menopause, if your progesterone levels are decreasing more than your estrogen, you can still have estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance is really about the ratio of estrogen to progesterone—if you have too much estrogen compared to your progesterone (no matter how little it is) you can gain weight and store more fat around your middle. And, no surprise—it's believed that most women tend to have an estrogen dominance. Another factor contributing to estrogen dominance is exposure to environmental estrogens which are estrogen-like chemicals in our environment.Some of these are things we ingest like pesticides, hormones in animal products, and plastics—all known as "endocrine disruptors."
To avoid estrogen dominance, you want to keep a fine balance between your progesterone and estrogen. Dr. Gottfried recommends
eating a pound of veggies per day
, as she states the fiber will help remove any excess estrogen from the body. Of all the out-there medical recommendations or far-fetched advice, I have to say: this one is pretty simple! Gottfried also recommends that women seeking to lower their estrogen levels naturally aim for 35 to 45 gram of fiber per day, increasing their amount slowly so as not to cause stomach upset.

Cortisol regulates your body's response to stressful situations. Unfortunately, we are so inundated with a constant stream of modern stressors and the need to be task-switching and communicating across a variety of channels that many of us have a surplus amount of cortisol in our bodies.

Simply put, you need to reset your body's response to stress. Gottfried recommends slowly weaning yourself off excessive caffeine or switching from coffee to tea. If tea isn't er, your cup of tea, you can also do other things to lower your cortisol levels, such as practicing mindfulness. This idea may seem vague, but it's really straightforward: slow down, breathe, and pay attention to what you're doing. So often we get distracted and rush from thing to thing, and this task-switching can significantly raise stress levels. Instead, try paying attention to one task at a time. Other ways you can naturally lower your cortisol levels include:

WordPress Development and Business Insights
We've been hosting various WordPress installs on the same server, as well as subdomain and subfolder multisites on nginx, but I had to fix a new subsite on a WordPress install that included another WordPress instance as a subfolder.
The scenario was related to a large WordPress setup with bbPress that had to be split up for performance and security reasons,including a redesign of the main site. The forums install was left untouched in terms of UX, the main site was drastically improved – with a new theme and hundreds of thousands of post entries down thanks to bbPress install moved to /forums instead. After abenchmark and a code/database review we noticed tens of thousands of transientsautoloaded on each requests (forum entries available for edits stored as transients) which also improved the load time by getting rid of those on the main site.
I spent some time trying to enable the forums/ subfolder andresolve it as a separate site, but ended up with various nginx errors, such as:
rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.php
FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown"
I played with different try_files rules, moving the index and root in and out of locations, and testing different location rules as well. I switched the php fastcgi params rulesfor php files, but no luck.
Turned out that server_name could be a subfolder, so a possible solution is simply creating two separate nginx conf files in sites-available/ symlinked to sites-enabled/ with two different servers for each of the sites.

Bruins' Lucic cries fowl, but Canadiens' Emelin no chicken
As the NHL season progresses, certain truths become evident.
One is Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic does a lot of things very, very well, but stickhandling the truth isn't one of them.
Lucic has a wonderful personal rivalry with Montreal Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin which adds another layer of animosity, it seems, with each meeting.
Monday night was no different.
I love the way both of them play the game. Both are unflinching competitors. Emelin, one of the best open-ice hitters in the game, blew his knee out last spring trying to take a run at Lucic at the Bell Centre. That's a move few right-side defencemen would even contemplate, never mind attempt.
There were more furious collisions between the two a couple of weeks ago in Montreal with Lucic getting the better of Emelin with a couple of smashes into the boards.
Undaunted, Emelin executed what looked like a near-perfect hip check in the opening couple of minutes of Monday night's game, upending the 6-foot-3, 235-pound forward and sending him catapulting into the boards.
Clean check.
Problem is, clean check or not in today's NHL, if you take somebody out with a big hit you have to answer for it and Boston's Zdeno Chara knocked Emelin down. That's some messed up thinking. In addition, the guy throwing the hip check is now automatically accused of going after somebody's knees. That's what Lucic claimed after the game.
"Well, I mean, whether it's fair, legal or whatever you want to call it, if he wasn't scared, he would stand up and hit me and not go after my knees," he said. "It just shows how big of a chicken he is that he needs to go down like that to take me down.
"It shows what kind of player he is and on my end, you know you've got to keep your guard up at all times."
Emelin has accomplished something if he's got Lucic thinking that way. That's like a tank having to watch out in a grocery store parking lot, considering the way most guys tiptoe around when Lucic is on the ice.
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby didn't like the legal hip check Ottawa Senators defenceman Marc Methot gave him in December, thinking it was aimed at his knees (the collateral damage was Crosby landed on linemate Pascal Dupuis, putting Dupuis out for the season with a knee injury.)
That was a legal check, too, but the thinking in the NHL now – among the victims, anyway – is that a hip check is automatically "going for my knees."
No, it isn't.
What Bryan Marchment (look him up, kids) used to do was going for a guy's knees.
So, Lucic is wrong calling Emelin a chicken because he's anything but.
For those wondering about Emelin not dropping the gloves, he's got a steel plate where his orbital bone used to be after he got his face caved in during a fight with Alexander Svitov in the KHL. The fact he won't fight drives opponents even crazier. You could argue he shouldn't run around the ice delivering big checks if he's unable to answer for it, but there's more than a few guys in the league who do worse things than clean, open-ice hits who won't fight.
Lucic got back at Emelin in the third period the old fashioned way, waiting for the play to go up the ice and then spearing Emelin in the junk from behind.
It was a move that went unnoticed by the referees but not the cameraman in the corner, who captured the moment and made any male viewers instinctively want to go into the fetal position.
Lucic adopted the Ference Defence, which is 'what you saw didn't happen.'
Remember when former Bruins defenceman Andrew Ference scored a goal in the 2011 playoffs against Montreal and flashed the bird to the Bell Centre crowd? He blamed a glove malfunction.
"I can assure you that's not part of who I am or what I have ever been," he said that night.
Give Ference credit: a year later in a blog post about accountability, he admitted he did it.
'Spear? What spear?' was pretty much Lucic's defence.
"I was just skating by him and that's all. People are trying to say I speared him," said Lucic. "I did not spear him, so that's it."
Well, that's hardly it.
There's lots more to come in this story, which hopefully writes a new chapter in the playoffs.

VICTOR ESPINOZA, FULL RANSOM, Winner: "I didn't really have any plan going into the race, just leave her alone and make her happy. It just depended how she broke out of the gate. I took my time, swung her to the outside and it worked out well today."
MARIO GUTIERREZ, SUSHI EMPIRE, Third: "She ran real well. I just wish I could have waited a little longer, but she tried hard."
Trainer Quotes
JIM CASSIDY, FULL RANSOM, Winner: "That's the best $25,000 (owner Deron Pearson) ever spent. She was reasonably cheap, but she had all the parts in the right place and I really liked her. I liked the way we didn't rush her today. (Espinoza) took hold of her and she got a very good trip wide. The greatest thing about 2-year-olds is they're as honest as the day is long. They haven't figured out anything bad yet."
LEANDRO MORA (Assistant, Doug O'Neill), CLENOR, Fifth: "When she was trailing behind the others, they slowed it up so much. (Full Ransom) boxed her in all the way--which is the proper thing for any rider to do. When she finally got out, the race was over."

CHICAGO (AP) — Officials at the nation's third largest school district defended the closure of some 50 Chicago public schools, telling a federal court on Thursday that budgetary issues and the underuse of many buildings — not race — drove decisions about which schools to shutter.
The testimony came as Chicago Public Schools sought to persuade a judge not to issue an injunction halting the plan. The Chicago Teachers Union and parents pushing for the injunction before the new school year begins say the closures inordinately harm black and special-needs kids, violating their rights.
The hearing — in its third day on Thursday — stems from several lawsuits filed on behalf of parents. One contends black children make up about 88 percent of students being moved from closed schools, although they comprise 42 percent of district students.
On the stand Thursday, Chicago Public Schools' budget director, Ginger Ostro, told U.S. District Judge Judge John Z. Lee that a $1 billion deficit in the next fiscal year loomed over the district as it thought through its closing plans, which were approved in May.
The closings would save $40 million, which would then be kicked into improving education for displaced students at their new schools. The district would spend tens of million more on schools taking those students, Ostro said.
Critics say talk by city and schools officials of budgetary savings is misleading, leaving the impression that the closures will help address the yawning budget deficit. Pressed under cross-examination Thursday, Ostro conceded the closures weren't designed to fix CPS' financial mess.
"It's not primarily a budget-deficit initiative," she said about the closings. Instead, the aim was to "better focus our resources rather than spread them thinly across."
Later Thursday, the district announced that it was laying off 2,113 teachers and support staff. It attributed the action to the failure of the Legislature to reach a deal on pension reform.
Adam Anderson, a Chicago Public Schools planning official, testified earlier Thursday that what guided the district as it decided what schools would be closed was how much classroom space wasn't being used.
A complex "utilization equation" was employed in the process, and the district found there were some 500,000 available classroom seats for 400,000 students, leaving 100,000 seats unused, Anderson said.
Enrollment has fallen over the years with a corresponding fall in population in African-American areas, which is why so many of the schools that ended up on the closure list were in predominantly black neighborhoods, Anderson said.
One of the lawsuits, however, argues the consequences have a racial element, saying "white children ... have been almost universally insulated from the negative educational consequences of school closings."
Also Thursday, the head of security for CPS, Jadine Chou, told the court the district is implementing measures to ensure street gangs don't pose a threat to students attending new schools. Opponents of the closures say those students may end up stepping into the line of fire of warring gangs as they walk through unfamiliar neighborhoods.
The security upgrades in the wake of the closings include a commitment from Chicago police to dispatch extra patrols around schools taking in the displaced students, Chou said. More parents also will be recruited to help monitor walking routes to and from the schools, alerting police if they see trouble, Chou said.
Still, under cross-examination, Chou denied the upgrades suggested the district accepted the argument that the closures will put students entering new schools at greater risk of violence.
"It doesn't necessarily mean danger. ... We are taking steps to prevent potential risks," she said, emphasizing the word 'potential.'
Testimony in the injunction hearing was expected to conclude Friday. Judge Lee would then take at least several days to go through the evidence and announce his ruling.

KLIA Gets Air Niugini
29 October 2008
Sepang, 29 October 2008 - KL International Airport (KLIA) now offers connections to Papua New Guinea effective today as Air Niugini, the national carrier
of Papua New Guinea made its historic first landing to Malaysian soil.
The carrier starts operating one flight weekly, flying from its hub Port Moresby to KLIA every Wednesday, utilising Boeing 757 type of aircraft with 189 seats configuration.
Dato' Seri Bashir Ahmad, Managing Director of Malaysia Airports said: "Air Niugini's presence will further enhance the connectivity at KLIA. Furthermore, this is a new market for us, as Air Niugini is the first airline offering connections from the Pacific Islands in the Oceania region to Malaysia and we hope to attract more airlines from the region to fly to Malaysia."
Dato' Seri Bashir elaborated: "Air Niugini will be entitled to our incentive programme to ensure their operation is smooth, fruitful and we look forward to their permanent stay in Malaysia."
"The recently concluded 14th World Route Development Forum, held for the first time in Asia which Malaysia Airports hosted, will further pave the way for Malaysia Airports to convince new airlines to start flying to Malaysia, Dato' Seri Bashir added.
October itself has been very fruitful for Malaysia Airports, as apart from Air Niugini, KLIA has also seen the arrival of SilkAir from Singapore. Earlier this year, KLIA welcomed two airlines namely Tiger Airways and Jetstar Asia.
In today's welcome reception, the arriving passengers of Flight PX394 from Port Moresby were greeted and presented souvenirs by YB Datuk Seri Panglima Hj. Lajim Hj. Ukim, Deputy Minister of Transport accompanied by Y.Bhg. Dato' Azmi Murad, Senior General Manager Operation Services of Malaysia Airports.
Since its inception in 1973 as the National Airline of Papua New Guinea, Air Niugini has made it possible to experience the best that Papua New Guinea has to offer. Air Niugini's modern fleet of aircraft comprises a Boeing B767 and B757 jet for international routes and Fokker F-100, F-28 jets and Dash 8 aircraft that suit the requirements of flying within the unique and challenging Papua New Guinean terrain.

David Stewart - American Emperor: Aaron Burr's Challenge to Jefferson's America
Historian and constitutional lawyer David Stewart discusses his new biography of Aaron Burr – America's third vice president and one of the most daring, and possibly deluded, figures in our nation's history.
Though he was vice president to Thomas Jefferson, Burr challenged the president, both openly and privately, and imagined a great empire along the Gulf of Mexico that would swell once America's western lands seceded from the union. Jefferson eventually ordered Burr prosecuted for treason, and the nation was forced to address the question of whether individual rights should be sacrificed to punish a political apostate who challenged the nation's very existence.

Had downloaded the trial version and installed it, liked it, and then bought the CD. CD arrived and I placed the extra modules as instructed but the program will not see them. Thought it was because I had installed the free version so went to install the version on disk, but it won't install because the installed version is newer. I'm I having a problem with the version I have installed--I did come back to the sight and downloaded a version that said it was 3.7.2 and installed it again but my modules won't show up. If I go into the preferences page it still only shows the the two Bible modules, 2 commentaries and so on, even though the modules are in the correct folders. When I look in the folders though, the original files have different permissions. The ones that originally loaded are root permissions and the new ones I moved over are not and I can change permissions on them if I wanted from the file utility. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.
Thanks for any help,

The notion of fine-grained versus coarse-grained services is an oft-debated topic in SOA; if you take a look at this paper by IBM as an example, you'll see how terse this discussion is, and how completely in absence of the end user of the software application it actually is. I'll refrain from the debate.
XOA suggests that service granularity, and the services themselves, emerge from the needs of a presentation tier component, of an "experience". Rather than hypothesize on the services we might want to expose in our banking systems for instance, we allow the user-experience of the application consuming the services to dictate the service, and the parameters/interface/signature of that service.
I recently presented on XOA to some of the innovation team at Credit Agricole, and they shared a great anecdote which I told them I'd use, and they allowed me to credit !
In the design of a service for transfering money between 2 accounts, the IT organization put a check in place in the service…if the account from which the transfer was being made didn't have sufficient funds, the transfer did not take place. However, there was a very specific use-case from the broker team, where they needed to be able to transfer money from an account that was overdrawn … however, the use-case only revealed itself in the design of the end user-experience, and was never envisaged by the SOA architects. The consequence — no re-use, 2 services created, one of which is a more generic instance of the other, and now code to maintain in 2 places if business rules change. It's a trivial but real example.
In an Experience Oriented Architecture, we would create a reusable component – in my world, this would be in Flex – that delivered the best imaginable experience for moving money from one account to another.
The component would encapsulate all the design findings from the user-experience team; it would provide visual affordance if the transfer was going to overdraw one particular account as a consequence, it would give meaningful feedback as to when the transfer might take place, or the duration of time for the transfer, it might also look at pending transfers in both accounts to inform that "though this won't overdraw you right now, by the time the transfer takes place, this cheque will have cleared from this account and you will be overdrawn…do you want to instead transfer on this date, transfer less money, or also move money in from elsewhere to cover the cheque".
In support of this enhanced, user-informed experience, is most likely some complex choreography of back-end services, most likely some horizontal integration of different back end systems (another trait of XOA I believe … for another day) and some implication to the SOA team on the services that need to be exposed in support of the user-experience the user deserves.
There will of course be complexity involved; the back end systems might include integration between different banking systems …. for a bank (such as Royal Bank of Scotland) that has 2 underlying banking systems as a consequence of a merger between 2 banks (RBS and Natwest), it might be the case that some accounts hold transactions in a CICS mainframe, some in an Oracle 8i system on the other side of the firewall, and the balance checking in both systems is different.
However, the contract with the application developer is "use this Flex MXML component, style and skin it according to the Flex programming model, and implicit in the reuse of this component, we will handle all of the underlying complexities of LiveCycle Data Services integration across CICS mainframes and Oracle 8i, and the nuances of balance transfer across the firewall, or within accounts".
So XOA drives out coarse grained components ("An Account Transfer Component"), and these components handle the complexity of choreographing and orchestrating underlying services. And as a consequence, the decisions around which services are required, and the interfaces/signatures upon those services, is driven from user-needs, not from Business or IT.

Tips for Parents with ADHD Raising Kids with ADHD
How to be an effective parent when you're struggling with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder times two
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 17
- iStockphoto
Parenting a child with ADHD (also known as ADD) can be tough, but when a parent has the disorder too, the situation can feel almost impossible. Since it is thought to be genetic, dealing with double ADHD is a reality for many families. The good news is that there are steps you can take to control the chaos and be more effective as a parent. We talked to experts at Children and Adults with ADHD (CHADD), the nation's leading organization serving people affected by ADHD, for tips on how to cope.
- Veer
Get Treatment
When a parent's symptoms of ADHD mix with their child's, there can be fireworks. As parents we often put our kids' needs before our own, but one of the most important things you can do for them is to get your own ADHD treated. Having it under control—and keeping it that way—will make it much easier to deal with things like the endless pile of laundry.
- Veer
Educate Yourself
Parenting's a tough job any way you slice it. Parenting a kid with ADHD is even harder, so you may need a little extra help. Attend a parenting class geared specifically toward ADHD, join a support group or read one of the many excellent books on the topic, like The Gift of ADHD Activity Book: 101 Ways to Turn Your Child's Problems Into Strengths by Lara Honos-Webb.
- Veer
Understand Where He's Coming From
Kids with ADHD aren't trying to drive you nuts—they're just wired that way. Think of it as a brain short circuit rather than willful bad behavior. Understanding that your child has a disability he's often unable to control will go a long way toward helping you be more patient.
- iStockphoto
Remember What It's Like
Chances are you've been in your child's shoes. Think about how you felt growing up with ADHD (even if you weren't diagnosed at the time)—remember the feelings of failure and frustration? Recalling your own struggles can help jolt things into perspective when you're banging your head against the wall.
- Veer
Make It Routine
Consistency is key for ADHD families, so make sure a schedule's firmly in place—and then follow it to a T. The more predictable your family life is, the easier it is for you and your child to get stuff done.
- Veer
Share the Burden
If you have a spouse who doesn't have ADHD, let him or her takes on the tasks that are harder for you to do well. However, be sure you are on the same page about expectations, rules and discipline, even if one of you plays "bad cop" more often.
- iStockphoto
The ADHD File
Put together a binder of all child's medical records and educational plans related to the ADHD, and automatically file things as they come in. No more rifling through piles of paper—everything will all be in one place when you need it for a meeting with the teacher or your family physician.
- iStockphoto
Outsource Your Paperwork
Does the paper wrangling in the previous tip sound like it would involve Herculean effort? Hire a highly-organized friend to help you pull together and file all of your child's paperwork. Then all you'd need to do is maintain.
- iStockphoto
Find the Good
Make a special attempt to notice good behavior and praise your child every day—it will go a long way toward building her self-esteem. And remember you deserve a pat on the back too, Mama! Make an effort to acknowledge the times when you rocked as a mom.
- iStockphoto
Pick Your Battles
Not all problems are created equal. Decide what things are really important to you, and what's not. Preserve your sanity by letting the small stuff slide.
- iStockphoto
Share Your Story
Most kids idolize their parents. Knowing that a parent has lived with ADHD—and overcome it—can help kids feel better about themselves. So talk freely about your struggles and victories.
- iStockphoto
Pass It On
Most people with ADHD develop amazing coping skills out of necessity, so make sure the ideas that work for you trickle down to your child. Share how you learned to deal, both as a kid and more recently.
- iStockphoto
Bubbling Up
As we mentioned, what works for you may work for your child—and what works for your child may work for you. Does your child need breaks during the school day? Then maybe you could benefit from breaks at work between projects too.
- Veer
Block Out Time for Fun
Don't let all your interactions be about problems. Schedule time to just hang out and goof off together. Sharing good times on a regular basis will strengthen your bond, making it that much easier to function as a family.
- Getty
Set a Good Example
Most importantly, be a good advocate for yourself. Make sure you have all the accommodations for yourself that you'd want for your child. This will show your kid the importance of speaking up for herself—a skill that will serve her into adulthood.
CHADD offers a program called Parent to Parent, which is a training program designed by parents for parents. More information can be found on the CHADD website. (www.chadd.org).

Lifton Bringing GASLAND to Albany
Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton (D/WF-Tompkins/Cortland), along with her colleague Steve Englebright, is today hosting a special viewing of the film GASLAND, a documentary about gas drilling around the country. GASLAND was the recipient of the Special Jury Prize for a Documentary at Sundance 2010. The screening in Albany will feature special guests Debra Winger, Executive Producer, and Mark Ruffalo, both of whom live in the Catskill region of New York State.
"This award-winning documentary reveals the consequences of natural gas drilling across the United States. Much of the recent expansion of drilling has been spurred by the increase in deep well hydrofracking, a practice that threatens to open up the Marcellus Shale in central New York to large-scale industrial drilling practices. Showing GASLAND to the members of the New York State legislature, as well as representatives from state agencies, will highlight some of the impacts that hydrofracking may bring to our communities. It is important that all the leaders in state government become fully aware of all facets of the hydrofracking phenomenon, before determining its fate in the State of New York," says Lifton.
The film will be shown in Hearing Room C at 6 PM. Ms. Winger and Mr. Ruffalo will be introduced in the Assembly at about 5 PM, and then will meet with various legislators before the movie.

The Dodgers have re-signed OF/1B Jay Gibbons to a 1-year deal, per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
Terms of the deal were announced at $400,000 plus incentives. Update: Hernandez tweeted with new contract details -- $650,000 base, $150,000 incentives based on plate appearances.
This is a great re-signing for the Dodgers. Gibbons, after not playing in the majors in 2008 and 2009, Gibbons came up in August (far too late, by the way) to put up a respectable .280/.313/.507 line as a part-time player. And that's all he's being brought back to do. He'll spell whoever plays left field and James Loney (if he sticks around) at 1B. He's a solid lefty off the bench.
The re-signing doesn't bode particularly well for Xavier Paul's chances of sticking in L.A., as he's out of options and is also a lefty. We'll see if anything happens on that front.
Updating a previous item, Scott Podsednik has declined his half of his mutual option, again per Hernandez. It was expected. Now, the Dodgers must offer him arbitration. He only made $1.65 million this year, so he won't earn much more in an arbitration case -- if he accepts it. He is a Type-B free agent, so the Dodgers would get a supplemental first-round pick if he declines arbitration and signs elsewhere. Most sane Dodger fans are hoping for this option.
Worst case scenario: Podsednik is back as a serviceable fourth outfielder (we hope) at a cheap rate (again, we hope).

The Bruins' fortunate injury situation marches on, while one of their closest competitors is dealing with replacing one of its biggest stars due to a health issue.
The Philadelphia Flyers, who host the Bruins in the battle of the top two teams in Eastern Conference Saturday, learned Thursday night that star defenseman and captain Chris Pronger will miss the remainder of the season and playoffs due to severe post-concussion syndrome.
One day later, the Bruins got through a practice with their captain Zdeno Chara seemingly making it through the entire session unscathed, as the Boston Globe reported from Ottawa. If Chara feels up to it Saturday, he might suit up against the Flyers. That would mean he'd have missed just two games with the knee injury he suffered in Columbus. Considering initial fears from most after watching Chara's knee awkwardly bend just a week ago, a two-game absence really is a best-case scenario.
Meanwhile, the Flyers are now dealing with their worst-case scenario. To their credit, the Flyers have battled through the injury to Pronger, a concussion to Claude Giroux and assorted other injuries to key supporting players to soar to the top of the East on a seven-game winning streak. But one has to wonder how long they can keep it going. Over the course of the next two months before the trade deadline, the Flyers will undoubtedly be active in search of a replacement for Pronger. They can use his $4.9 million of cap space in that effort.
But any trade for a legitimate Pronger replacement — say one of Nashville's stud defensemen or a Joni Pitkanen from Carolina — would make the Flyers poorer personnel-wise, if not this year then down the road. Any small-time replacements might come cheaper, but could turn out to be the Flyers' version of Tomas Kaberle in Boston or Joe Corvo when he went to Washington.
Whatever the Bruins have done since the Marc Savard concussions to avoid serious injury, especially to their best players, they should keep doing it. Because health is yet another reason the Bruins just might be the class of the Eastern Conference.

Kernel Development
From SELinux Wiki
Revision as of 18:34, 5 October 2009 by StephenSmalley (Talk | contribs)
To Do List
- Distinguish access(2) from open(2) auditing.
- Audit hooks to ensure that we don't have any more cases where DAC can be weakened.
- Fix the performance issue apparently related to syscall audit which Linus keeps whining about.
- Add support for SCTP (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517676).
- Fix signal inheritance controls (possibly drop some or all, or only enforce in policy for certain domains).
- UBIFS support.
- Add LTP tests for recent kernel changes.
- Eliminate the need for secondary_ops altogether by providing LSM support for reverting to the original (capability) security module.
- Reduce size of critical sections and use of GFP_ATOMIC.
- Investigate security policy for cgroups.
- Add a 'map' check on mmap and mprotect so that we can distinguish memory mapped access (since it has different implications for revocation).
- crfs ?
- Automate checking for new syscalls in kernels (-mm, -rc etc).
- fine-grained labeling for usbfs and other pseudo filesystems of interest
- NFSv4 support (in progress)
- Revoke memory-mapped file access upon policy change or setxattr.
- Real device labeling and access control (i.e. bind a label to a device in the kernel irrespective of what device node is used to access it so that a process that can create any device nodes at all can't effectively bypass all device access controls just by creating an arbitrary node to any device in a type accessible to it),
- Full APIs for getting and setting security contexts of sockets and IPC objects. Ensure that socket context is kept consistent on socket inode and sock structures when changed.
- Polyinstantiated ports
- Increased granularity for Generic Netlink
- CIFS support for single-context clients (also has xattrs & Karl says it's better than NFS).
- Crypto policy for domains & object handling
- Expand LTP as a full regression testuite for every permission & class
- Redo performance testing & profiling
- Better controls for posix message queues (?)
- move *mem permissions to new memprotect class. Bump policy version.
- better support for FS whose labelling behaviour is not specified in policy. If nothing from policy just test for xattr support and use it if it is there (RH in progress, patch reverted due to fuse deadlocks).
- memory leak detector pops on policy reload. probably due to {new,old}policydb being on stack and memcpy'd into the data section policydb (aka probably false positive)
- better validation of classes/perms on policy reload. Warn if any permissions are defined in a kernel class in the policy that are not defined in the kernel's classmap.
- Adding New Permissions How to add a new permission to SELinux
- kerneloops.org oopses relating to SELinux.

The annual spring opening of U.S. 14A east of Lovell is scheduled for noon, Monday, May 20.
"We've got a few rocks to remove from the roadway, guardrail to fix and equipment to move," said Jim Thomas, Wyoming Department of Transportation maintenance foreman in Lovell.
Thomas said WYDOT maintenance crews encountered snow depths of two to four feet, including snowdrifts of up to eight feet deep, during the annual spring plowing effort of U.S. 14A.
The annual winter closure of U.S. 14A, west of Burgess Junction, remains in effect at milepost 76.04 on the Lovell side of the Big Horn Mountains. The seasonal road closure at Burgess Junction is just east of milepost 98.1.
WYDOT annually closes this 22-mile stretch of scenic mountain road in the Big Horn Mountains of north-central Wyoming about Nov. 30 at the conclusion of the fall hunting season. It usually opens by Memorial Day weekend.
