Historical Situation
63 years ago, Nabû Apal Uşur has destroyed the empire of the ruthless, murderous and merciless Assyrians. Once their army has been scattered and their might broken, the time-honored city of Babylon has risen to power again. The Name of Babylon is older than any language we know. It is "Babilum" (or similar). In this word, the later Akkadian speaking people recognized their words Bâb Ilû, which means something like Gate of the Gods. Hence the Greeks obviously heard something like Babylon.
Nabû Kudurri Uşur reclaimed the old realm, that belonged to Babylon. But his utterly justified claims were not accepted everywhere. While the Medes finally realized a peaceful co-existence with the Great Kings was the best way to strengthen both empires, others had been obstinate. So they had to be conquered with raw force and the most vicious of them taken as slaves and deported from their home to Babylon. But sowing the great clemency that characterizes the new Babylonian Kings, even the Judah King was released from captivity and given an honored position.
Egypt's attacks had to be fenced off, but again the Kings remained successful, the empire expanding into Arabia and Kilikia. Babylon's future seemed safe.
Everything has changed. The King Nabû Nā'id was old, very old. Curiously he decided to live in the desert some years ago. Since then, nobody has heard anything from him. His son Bel Šar Ra Uşur rules more or less, but he is not given enough power, he would need.
A Persian Usurpator, called Kuruš has overthrown the Median overlords and prepared to march against Sardeis. The conquest of Lydia by Kuruš could change the balance of power severely, Babylon would be encircled by enemies completely.
And the King is still in the desert! An determined offensive could break the Persian power until they grow to strong. But since the King is absent, fellow Babylonians can only hope, King Kroisos and his undefeated army can hold their own against the Persian onslaught.
But if this usurpator succeeds and turns against Babylon he will not only face the city's famed walls, Babylon's army is also ready. It is in most aspects the heir of the Assyrian military concerning equipment and doctrine.
Like most eastern armies, the levies form up slingers and archers paired with wicker shield bearers. These may lack experience, spirit and equipment, but they can do their job showering the enemy with their missile volleys.
The highly advanced military organization of the Assyrians had not only developed sophisticated battle field communication with standards but also corps of professional troops, which Babylon employed too. Very heavily armed spearmen are more than a match for any close combat troops, sword armed archers are both competent in close combat and able to devastate the enemy with their arrows. The heavy cavalry is a direct successor of Assyrian cavalry, armed with bow and a short spear for self defense.
Although old-fashioned, the honorable chariots are still a very important and dangerous element of Babylonian warfare, especially in the Mesopotamian plains.
This army has no notable weakness in the field. Heavy spearmen, swordsmen, excellent archers and very good cavalry. Yet the specialist field of the Babylonian army is siege warfare. They had learned from the very best and had defeated them, improving the techniques and taking it to a higher level. The cream of the siege engineers are the 'storm troopers' who's task is to clear the way on the walls for the following infantry.
Strategically, the Babylonian army often needed some time to muster their forces ? time, in which a determined foe can force their way into the heart of the Babylonian realm?
Units, part 1: the Levies
Nāš Kabābĭ ("Slingers")
[image missing]
These soldiers form the Babylonian slinger Corps; distinguished by their speed and light apparel these soldiers make excellent skirmishers due to their abundant ammunition supply. Wearing no armour or helmet they can dash about the field and avoid having to deal with the slower, heavier melee troops. They are by no means stalwart warriors and their lack of any real close combat experience or weaponry puts them at a severe disadvantage if they get pinned down. However used effectively they can decimate enemy formations with their missiles and keep up an effective barrage for longer than their archer counterparts.
Nāš Sūb Qasti ("Archers")
The Youth of the Babylonian military take up the traditional near Eastern practice of Archery. With a fine tradition of archery in the Babylonian Civilisation these archers can benefit from centuries of wisdom and the practice of many years on the hunt. Having no protection these archers are vulnerable in combat and their lack of experience on the field leaves them prone to panic in the face of a professional army. Regardless their fine archery skills can cause devastation to an enemy army and their swift manoeuvrability should keep them out of danger.
Nāš Tukši ("Shield Bearers")
[image missing]
The Nāš Tukši form the fresh recruits into the Babylonian Spearmen corps. They are issued with a 6-foot spear with a tall tower shield made of wicker work. This tower shield serves well to protect them against enemy missile fire. The main job of the Nā? Tuk?i is to protect the Babylonian Archer corps. This pairing of missile and melee fighters being very common in the east has allowed the Babylonians much experience in coordinating the two troop types. They wear linen corslets but whilst afforded good protection by their shields the Nā? Tuk?i are not first rate spearmen and should not be entrusted with important assaults on enemy heavy infantry. They also carry clubs as a back up weapon. They can hold the line in battle but are unlikely to decisively defeat the enemy by them selves.
Pēthallu ("Horsemen")
The youth of the Aristocracy would learn how to fight like men in the Cavalry Corps. Sent to battle with a bow and a short spear these soldiers are not meant to engage the enemy in close combat as a primary function. Their lack of armour other than a helmet leaves them vulnerable to missiles and the spears of the enemy. However their horse archery skills make an excellent addition to the Babylonian army, able to lure out impetuous enemy squads and rain lethal volleys upon hapless infantry. They can also be used to engage enemy cavalry forces head on, but this should not be applied to charging infantry as their lack of armour and shields leaves them very weak against a grounded opponent.
Units, part 2: the Royals
Nāš Namsarĭ ("Swordsmen")
The more promising of the Nāš Sūb Qasti were rewarded with long scale mail cuirass and the distinctive Babylonian longsword. With their bronze helmets and heavier armour these archers can hold their own in combat against other medium class infantry. On top of this their experience in the field means they are far more skilled archers than their Nā? Sūb Qasti counterparts. They have seen the horrors of war before and not so shocked by it as other conscripts can be, hence their combat endurance and moral is considerably higher than fresh the recruits.
Nāš Asamarĭ ("Spearmen")
The Nāš Asamarĭ are the heavy infantry of the Babylonian army. They are armed with the same spear as their youthful Nāš Tukši counterparts but their shield is instead of wood rather than wicker. This first distinction allows them to engage in prolonged combat with other spearmen and force a victory. Their secondary protection in battle is a long scale mail cuirass reaching to the tights. With the added protection of this armour plus their tower shield it takes a good battering to force these soldiers back. They carry a sword as a back up weapon and are able to hold the lines effectively for long periods of time under pressure. These more experienced troops can be depended on in a tough spot to hold fast much longer than would be excpected of the Nāš Tukši.
Ša Pēthallĭ ("Royal Horsemen")
The Ša Pēthallĭ are the richer older Aristocrats who can afford good Armour and are experienced enough on the field to engage in the Melee more frequently. With a scale mail cuirass to protect them these cavaliers can be a very effective anti - cavalry force. But again their lack of shields means attacks on suspecting infantry formations are not advisable. They also carry bows to engage the enemy from a distance and with this extra dimension to their skills their combat effectiveness soars in comparison to regular cavalry. With more experience in the field these men do not take so quickly to panic and flight but hold the line and fight to protect their honour and their country.
Qurbute ("Chariots")
The old system of Near eastern Chariot warfare comprised of light armed Chariots used as a highly mobile weapons platform for archers. The Babylonians still use the old chariots in battle to harass the enemy and disrupt their formations. The mobility and speed of the chariots was their main defensive tactic, but the lack of armour on the riders and horses leaves them open to missile attacks. If they are unfortunate enough to be caught in close combat they will not last long unless closely supported by friendly troops. The Babylonian chariot tradition is rich and decorated with experience and valour, they are masters of this art and used effectively they can cause heavy casualties to the enemy whilst sustaining none to themselves.
Ša Qurbute ("Royal Chariots")
With the development of anti chariot tactics involving concentrated missile fire, the obvious development for near eastern Chariots was the addition of heavier armour. The horses are protected with barding and the riders are now under heavy scale mail cuirasses. The Addition of this armoured element means these chariots can sustain an enemy barrage and if they are caught in close combat they should be able to hold long enough to escape the trap and flee to safety. Their armour does not take on offensive capabilities such as spikes but the addition of larger wheels and a sturdier carriage means these chariots are far more stable and safe in the field.
Kiškuttŭ ("Sappers")
The Kiškuttŭ were elite siege warfare experts. Covered in heavy scale armour and a sturdy iron helmet, these "Sappers" were ordered to charge the enemy battlements, pull down their defences and engage them on the walls and in the streets. As the first into the breach these men were picked for their bravery and skill. Carrying a broad axe they are fearsome to behold and even more inspiring to witness charging out of the siege towers and trampling the enemy. However they were not used in pitched battles due to the unique nature of their work. These troops are the elite of the Babylonian infantry and should not be thrown away lightly by indifferent commanders.

Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X Review
Let's face it; not everyone can afford the latest and greatest parts at the top of the performance chain. That doesn't mean, however, that you have to sacrifice a lot to get great performance at a lower price. Thankfully, AMD saw this need and developed the HD 7950; a slightly cut-down version of the flagship HD 7970. It still boasts 3 GB of GDDR5 texture memory, the same 384-bit memory interface, and the same feature set in terms of connectivity and software. Instead of the fully enabled Tahiti XT core, you get the slightly less capable Tahiti Pro core along with slower memory clocks. The HD 7950 has been a favorite for a long time because of its great price/performance ratio...but what about today?
While the reference cards straight from AMD's design have no obvious flaws, many companies have taken the design one step further. Today, I'll be taking a look at the Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X Edition video card. Deviating entirely from the reference board from AMD, Sapphire has outfitted this card with the same great cooler you saw recently on the OCC review of the Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor-X GHz Edition card. This means cooler temperatures, higher overclocking margins, and less noise. In addition to the custom cooler, the 7950 Vapor-X also has a full 8-phase power system with "Black Diamond" chokes and DirectFET technology to deliver smooth clean power while staying both efficient and cool. All of these goodies are contained on a fully custom PCB in the trademark Sapphire blue color.
Will the Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X be able to justify its premium over the reference card? Keep reading to find out!
Closer Look:
Just like the recently reviewed Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor-X GHz Edition, the box for the Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X card features AMD's Ruby in snow camouflage. It definitely puts the idea in your head that this card will run nice and cool thanks to its Vapor-X cooler. The usual features of the 7000 series cards are listed along the front and back of the box - for a full listing, check out the Features and Specifications page. In bright red on the front of the box, you can also see the large sticker pronouncing the Sapphire overclocking button. This button, when pressed, raises the clock speeds of the GPU from the stock 850 MHz to a factory overclock of 950 MHz. Why would anyone ever not push this button?
Slipping open the packaging reveals yet another box. Opening this box reveals what you've been waiting for - the Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X. Now, since I'm cruel, you'll have to wait until the next page to see it. Packaged along with the card itself is a decent number of goodies: a Crossfire bridge, Molex to 6-pin and Molex to 8-pin adapters, a 1.8 meter HDMI cable, a DVI to VGA adapter, the product manual, and a driver/software CD. If you're planning on running Eyefinity out of the box, you're going to need at least one DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI adapter to get rocking.
If you're familiar with Sapphire's Vapor-X cooling and how it works, just skip to the next page. However, if you're not quite sure just how Sapphire has managed to make its products run so cool, continue reading! While heatpipes are a fairly common method of removing heat from a CPU or GPU, any given solution must use quite a few of them for good heat dissipation. The problem with this approach is that the core must be in direct contact with the heatpipes for optimal cooling and while heatpipes can be small, GPU and CPU cores tend to be a lot smaller than a bundle of heatpipes. Enter Sapphire's Vapor-X cooling! The Vapor-X technology works very similarly to a heatpipe, but instead of being a tube that relies on vaporization and wicking action to cool, Sapphire has managed to make this work in a flat package. It allows the entire core to be cooled by the Vapor-X chamber without any of the common issues associated with direct-contact heatpipes.
Continue on to the next page to see the Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X out of its packaging and in the nude!

In the 1957 Isaac Asimov short story "Silly Asses," Earthlings are added to a galactic book of planetary races that have reached maturity — defined as those that have developed nuclear capability. But then the keeper of the book learns that atomic tests are being conducted on Earth and crosses the planet off the list. Asimov was writing during the A-bomb years, before the construction of nuclear power plants. How unacceptable would it seem to the fictional keeper of the book that we have been building and operating these reactors for decades without a place to store the waste?
Last week, a federal appeals court ordered the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to move forward on either granting or denying a permit for an underground nuclear waste site at Yucca Mountain. The Obama administration had put the brakes on the permit process, fulfilling a campaign promise to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who doesn't want the spent fuel in his home state.
Yucca Mountain is one of the safest places in the country for nuclear storage. It's a remote, dry area that isn't earthquake-prone, and it's on the edge of an area where atomic testing took place during the 1950s. But it's not without flaws, and one issue that never was resolved is transporting nuclear waste safely to this or any repository.
Federal law requires the government to identify a site or sites for nuclear waste. The list was narrowed during the George W. Bush administration to Yucca Mountain. That choice was too abrupt and too limited; for one thing, Yucca Mountain isn't large enough to be the sole repository. But the Obama administration's response — that it will work on finding multiple smaller sites in other states — circumvents the problem of disposal rather than confronting it. No state wants to be the dumping grounds for the nation's nuclear waste, but it has to go somewhere, and the problem won't solve itself.
The situation highlights a major flaw in the president's plan for relying on nuclear power as part of the effort to combat climate change. It's not a real plan when it doesn't make provisions for safe disposal. Existing and decommissioned plants have been storing their spent fuel on-site, either in pools or encased in concrete casks. It's an unacceptable situation. The casks, which will be used to store waste at the defunct San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, can withstand even strong earthquakes, but their lifetime is measured in decades, while the waste will be dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years.
In other words, nuclear policy requires farsighted thinking. California law wisely prohibits the construction of new nuclear plants until a safe method has been devised for permanently disposing of waste. A mature federal energy policy would do the same.

NEW BEDFORD — Jenna Hebert is what's known in Girl Scout speak as a "Super Seller."
NEW BEDFORD — Jenna Hebert is what's known in Girl Scout speak as a "Super Seller."
For four years in a row, Jenna has sold more than 500 boxes of Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-Si-Dos and the like to earn membership in the elite Super Seller Club.
And she isn't resting on her cookie laurels. Jenna, a seventh-grader at New Bedford's All Saints Catholic School, has set a lofty goal of selling 2,000 boxes this year, up from 750 this past year.
According to Jenna, there's no secret to selling that many cookies; rather, it's a matter of persistence and hard work. She said many of her sales have been accomplished through networking with family members and friends to find potential customers.
"You need to branch out," she said.
She has also found success at booth sales, where Scouts take turns sitting at a table in a public place for a specified amount of time.
Jenna said it can be discouraging when potential customers turn down a sale, but she said it's important to remain positive after setbacks.
"Don't let people who tell you no bring you down," she said.
And while she acknowledged that selling cookies can be challenging, it's a challenge she welcomes. "I try to go above and beyond," she said.
During her nine years in Scouting, Jenna said Thin Mints have consistently been the top seller, although Peanut Butter Patties are her personal favorite.
This year, the Girl Scouts debuted Mango Creme cookies. Although the flavor has been selling less than the more established varieties, it may become more popular after people have the chance to try it, she said.
"Thin Mints were new once, too," Jenna said.
Proceeds from the sales benefit Girl Scout troops. The profits from last year's sale allowed Jenna's troop to go on a trip to New Hampshire. "We went to a couple of water parks and just had an amazing time," she said.
There are rewards for individual Scouts as well, with each girl having the opportunity to earn cookie credits, which can be used to pay for camp and for supplies from the Scouting Council's store. All girls in the area who sell more than 500 boxes are invited to a special celebration after the selling season which ends in March.
Hebert said she hopes to top last year's total of more than 750 by selling 2,000, which would earn her either a Nintendo Wii or a Kindle Fire.
But beyond the material rewards, Jenna said her experiences selling cookies have helped her develop such vital abilities as goal setting, decision making, people skills, and money management. "You learn how to be a business manager," she said.
Jenna added that she dreams of someday opening her own cafe, and she said she's sure what she has learned in Scouting will help her realize that dream.

That was good television, the story of a pert Catholic nun who could soar like an angel, the sort of escapist fare favored back in the late '60s. Today we go the other way, with brutal shows — "Dexter," "Breaking Bad" — that soothe by reminding us our lives could be so much worse. You could get garroted, for example. Or summoned to jury duty.
So next time you're inching down the 110 south out of downtown, wondering how in the world the rich took control of those empty express lanes, or fretting over all the stupid things you fret over, most of which never come to pass, force yourself to think about what you could do to have one happy little moment.
Obviously, my mission is to instill a certain playfulness that seems lacking in your life right now. Your inner Peter Pan.
As I noted, the sensation of stepping off a bluff under a hang glider is almost pneumatic, as if compressors are involved, or elite German hummingbirds, or Orson Welles' voice box, a sensation similar to being whisked up into your father's arms when you were 4.
You'll have to admit that's not a bad playfulness, that sense of being swept up by a benevolent higher power. So bear with me as I explain hang gliding, a spirited and spiritual escape, and the greatest thing you've probably never tried.
"When lift plus thrust is greater than load plus drag, anything can fly," the Flying Nun once explained. Reference too Bernoulli's principle of fluid velocity. Or not.
We are on the bluffs of Dockweiler State Beach, just west of
At the lower bunny bluffs, it's just me, classmate Leo Laufer and instructor Greg DeWolf, who is almost birdlike in his passion for flight. Once he hang glided (hang glid?) from California to Kitty Hawk, N.C. Indeed, his bones might be hollow.
"Look up!" he's always telling me, for the inclination is to look down, where you might plummet to your sandy grave.
"Look up!" he scolds, as if catching me stealing something. "You don't drive down the freeway looking at your toes, do you?"
Here are the three things you need to brand into you brain if you're going to be a first-rate hang-glider.
Look up.
Keep your feet under you.
That's it, and I do two of those three things naturally. It's the feet thing I struggle with, because the natural inclination is to roll over on my back and play dead.
"Don't muscle it," DeWolf is constantly chanting, because brute force also comes naturally to me.
What you really want to know is how difficult it is, and I'd compare hang gliding to opening an umbrella or smearing a bagel with cream cheese. Essentially, anybody can hang glide. You're harnessed into this 40-foot training glider, which wants to fly the way corpses want to float.
So you can't really miss. Sure, the harness can be a little tight in the crotch, but what isn't these days, especially for manly nuns.
But before you know it, you've taken a few giant strides off the continent's left lip and are soaring with the pelicans, our avian soul mates, a bird Picasso must've designed.
Love the pelicans. Love everything about them — their lousy work ethic, their baggy chins. Especially the way they deliver all those babies.
That's not pelicans, you say?
Oh, look up.

Several people have asked me how to use tools such as Visual InterDev, Access 2000, or Enterprise Manager to access SQL Server across the Internet. Let's look at these tools.
To use Visual InterDev or Access 2000, you start a new project. At the prompt for the SQL Server system name in the New Project dialog box, enter the name or address of the Web server. For example, when you create a new data connection in Visual InterDev, you can specify the name of the database server or the Data Source Name (DSN). I usually use a system DSN for this purpose.
To create a system DSN for a remote SQL Server, open the Control Panel, then the ODBC manager. Click the System tab and use the SQL Server DSN wizard to start creating a new DSN for SQL Server. At the Microsoft SQL Server Configuration page, click the Client Configuration button. On the Edit Network Library Configuration dialog box, click TCP/IP. Enter the name of the remote server you want to use in the Server Alias dialog box. Then enter the name for the server in the Computer Name dialog box. Set the Server Alias and Computer Name to the same name unless you have a compelling reason not to. The only time I don't use the same name for the project is when I'm creating a new copy of an existing site or database and I want an identifiable name. Click OK and finish the steps of the wizard. You can use this DSN with Access 2000 or Visual InterDev to connect to the remote database.
To use Enterprise Manager to connect to a remote database, you need a slightly different approach. In Enterprise Manager, open the Client Network Utility from the Program Files in the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 folder. On the General tab, click the Add button. Click the TCP/IP radio button, enter the alias and computer name as you did for the DSN, and click OK. You'll see the new server in the list of Server Alias configurations. Click OK to close the SQL Server Client Network Utility. Now when you register the server with Enterprise Manager, the network library name will match the server name you enter and Enterprise Manager will find the remote server. You can use Enterprise Manager as usual, except you're now managing a remote server.
Also, if you have access to PC Anywhere, you can use it to run management tools remotely if you have the proper Windows NT and SQL Server security credentials.

The best way to get out of paying back your Federal or Private student loans is to take advantage of the Borrowers Defense Against Repayment provision of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Many Americans have never heard of this excellent opportunity to receive complete forgiveness from excessive student loan debt, but people are waking up to these opportunities thanks to the now popular ITT Tech Student Loan Forgiveness Program , the DeVry Student Loan Forgiveness Program , and the Corinthian Colleges Student Loan Forgiveness Program , which are all helping people to realize that they can fight back against their lenders.
The "Defense Against Repayment" provision is an often-overlooked statute buried within the U.S. Higher Education Act of 1965, but one that is growing rapidly on popularity, as it states that the Department of Education is authorized to allow students to get out of paying back their student loans if they can prove that they faced "acts or omissions of an institute of higher education".
If your school ever lied to you about anything, like overstating your job prospects, promising you salary expectations, or guaranteeing you management positions, then you can petition the Federal Government to invalidate your student loans, and discharge them entirely.
This works for any sort of violation of State or Federal laws that the school may have committed, but it also applies to student loan servicing companies (in some cases), where you're able to get Federal Student Loan Forgiveness because the servicer lied to you, didn't give you the right information, made some false promise, or cheated you in some way.
The Navient Student Loan Forgiveness Program is a great example of this sort of thing, where Navient failed to properly support their borrowers, and is now being sued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Bottom line: while we wait for President Trump's Student Loan Reforms to be announced, your best bet at getting your Federal loans discharged, reduced, or in some other way dealt with is to pursue a Borrowers Defense Against Repayment discharge.
It's important that you fully understand how the defense to repayment provision works, because getting approval for a defense to repayment discharge requires making a sophisticated legal argument that your school violated the law in some way, essentially tricking you into taking on student loan debt due to their false promises that it would be worth the cost.
Receiving approval for a defense against repayment argument involves collecting evidence and presenting the Department of Education with proof "that the school did something wrong or failed to do something that it should have done", which is provided in the form of the Borrowers Defense Against Repayment letter.

Just as there is no simple system for evaluating the quality of faculty research, there is no simple system for evaluating the quality of faculty teaching. However, by thinking carefully about the purposes of evaluation, and by crafting multiple methods of evaluation that suit those purposes, one can devise evaluation systems that are reliable, valid, and fair. Equally important, the process of discussing and crafting evaluation systems focuses attention on the practice of good teaching and helps to create a culture in which teaching is highly valued.Some Principles of Teaching Evaluation Some Sources of Data for Evaluating Teaching: Students, Colleagues, and Self-Reflection Students: Multiple Sources Colleagues: Peer Review Self-Reflection: Teaching Dossiers Concluding Remarks
Evaluation of teaching is not a science; there is still much to learn. However, as indicated in this brief set of guidelines, there is already a considerable body of knowledge about teaching evaluation. The academic community has a strong incentive to add to that knowledge since we will not be able to recognize and reward teaching adequately until we craft a better system for evaluating it.Selected Bibliography

From Our Editors
With each creamy bite, it becomes more evident that CherryBerry's yogurt was made from all-natural ingredients: the strawberry contains tiny chunks of fruit, and the chocolate's rich flavor could never have come from a powdered mix. Like a tag-team dance-off at the UN, the yogurt itself features four types of live and active cultures, all of which aid in digestion. Low-fat, fat-free, and gluten-free flavors abound, as do sorbet options with no dairy and Splenda-sweetened yogurts with no added sugar. More than 50 fruit, nut, and candy options overflow from bins and canisters at the topping bar, awaiting their chance to cascade down the snowy peaks of fro-yo.
Under the same roof as CherryBerry, but following the beat of their own chocolate-dipped drum, are the expert confectioners of Paradise Chocolate. At a separate counter, they hand-dip fruits and pretzels into vats of warm chocolate and set them out to cool alongside premium truffles. Distinctive varieties of bon-bons, peanut-butter delights, and english toffee congregate with apples draped in caramel and chocolates inside the 8-foot-long display case.

i recognized a very small icon in the launchermenu of my N810. is it possible to define it as "scalable" one?
currently it's really small...
Yes, bigger icons will be included with 0.12. I have some issues with system caching the small icon after package upgrade, though. If you still see small icon with 0.12 (once it is released) try reboot, uninstall/reinstall scummvm or run
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
or do some combinations of that

Actress Kaley Cuoco, who co-stars as the neighbor of a pair of socially inept physicists on "The Big Bang Theory," has sold her home in Sherman Oaks for $822,500.
The Spanish-style house was built in 1937 but has been updated. Features include distressed hardwood floors, French doors that open to a covered patio and interior arches between living spaces. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 2,171 square feet.
Cuoco, 25, has starred on the sitcom since 2007. The show has been renewed through the 2013-14 season.
She was also a regular on the series "Charmed" (2005-06) and "8 Simple Rules" (2002-05). She is in "The Last Ride" set for wide release in January.
The property was purchased in 2005 for $1.355 million, according to public records.

How to Fix Ubuntu Update Errors
It happens quite often that we encounter errors while trying to run an update in Ubuntu. There are several type of errors and in this post we will see how to solve some of the most common errors encountered during update of packages in Ubuntu.
Error 1: E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E: Problem with MergeList
Sometimes running the updates in the Update Manger results in the following error:
Could not initialize the package information.
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
A similar error occurs while running the apt-get update command in terminal:
Reading package lists… Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
There is a one shot solution to the above errors. Open the terminal and run the following commands in the given order:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update
Hope that solves the above mentioned problems. Now lets move on to another type of error.
Error 2:E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
A very common error while installing an application or updating a package is following:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
The reason is quite obvious from the error itself "another process using it". Which means another process is already using the mentioned directory (necessary for the application to be installed) through Synaptic Package Manager, Update Manger, terminal or Ubuntu Software Center.
The idea would be to look for another application which is being installed or update it. Wait for it to finish the installation or cancel it. If you cannot see the application then try running this command in the terminal to solve this error:
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
Error 3: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources
I faced a strange situation today when I ran the Update Manager in Ubuntu. It showed me a number of updates to be installed and when I clicked on Install Updates it showed me the following error:
The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources
There could be several reason for this error:
- Software is restricted by copyright or legal issues
- The Software is from Canonical Partner and has not been added to Source List
- The application has been installed form its source code
- Missing public key of the application
If you do not know which is the root cause of error, then follow the instructions for each of them and then you can find it out. Lets see how to tackle these problem one by one:
(i) Software is restricted by copyright or legal issues
Run the Update Manager. And go to Settings as shown in the pic below:
Now here, go to the Ubuntu Software tab and make sure that Software is restricted by copyright or legal issues field is checked. Close the settings and install updates now.
(ii) The Software is from Canonical Partner and has not been added to Source List
In the Update Manager Settings, go to Ubuntu Software tab and include the Source Code for updates like in the pic below:
(iii) The application has been installed form its source code
In the Update Manger Settings, go to Ubuntu Software tab and check the Source Code option:
(iv) Missing public key of the application
Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following command:
Now wait till it finishes and see if you see something like this:
W: GPG error: http:/something.something Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Note down the numbers you see after NO_PUBKEY. This error is because the application's public key has not been added. To solve the error use the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After adding the missing public key run the following command (again):
I hope it helps solve your problem. Do provide us your feedback and if you are facing errors other than this do let us know. Comments section is all yours. Enjoy 🙂

Accident causes car to smash into house
Accident causes car to smash into house
OMAHA, Neb. —
Police said speed and alcohol were factors in a crash that caused a car to hit a house Wednesday night.
According to police, a van hit a car, which then hit a house near 11th and Martha streets around 7 p.m.
Officers said 34-year-old Ludi Oleta-Acosta was involved in a hit-and-run accident just blocks away before running a stop sign and slamming into another car.
Mug Shots: See who got arrested
Oleta-Acosta faces several charges including drunken driving and driving under suspension.
The driver of the Nissan, which hit the house, was identified as 28-year-old Marvin Cruz-Lozano of Bellevue. He is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Oleta-Acosta has had two prior DUI convictions since 2006.
No one inside the home was hurt.

Also I will try giving him lesser formula to see if he remains satisfied and offer him breast if he feels hungry soon.
Also I will try giving him lesser formula to see if he remains satisfied and offer him breast if he feels hungry soon.
This is why it is, again, really, really essential to see an IBCLC if at all possible. A good experienced one who is familiar with these types of issues.
The best answer I can give you is-remember that the way milk production works (normally) is that the more often milk is removed from the breasts, the better milk production will be. Also it is best to keep baby at the breast for as much feedings as possible. Watch for active sucking, pauses, and swallowing while baby nurses, this will help you determine if baby is getting milk.
Time tables are not needed. If it helps you to time things (I will pump every 3 hours, for example) then, do that. But normal infants do not feed every such and such hours and so there is no need to nurse or pump or feed baby every such and such hours. Not ever, and not when trying to increase milk production. A normal full ybreastfed 4 week old would nurse about 12 times in a 24 hour day-or more. But baby might nurse every hour, then not for three hours, then twice in an hour...all normal, as long as baby is nursing often enough overall. I guess it is important to try not to ever go longer than 4-5 hours without either nursing or pumping, and that long only once a day.
Instead, I suggest, Try to nurse your baby at least 10 times a day. Pump after any sessions that seem short or not effective to you. Give supplements as needed, which you will have to determine maybe with input from your doctor or IBCLC. Remember that a baby "acting hungry" after nursing and baby wanting to nurse again very shortly are normal and may not mean baby needs a supplement. It's tricky. I also suggest that you try to nurse baby either before and after a supplement-try to avoid 'just bottle' meals. Adjust above as needed for your sanity.
You are not trying to establish your milk production by 6 weeks. It's not as if 6 weeks is the end and there is no hope later. It's just that this is a very important time to start fixing whatever the issues are.

Thank you for your encouraging words.
I will contact a IBCLC immediately.
I was in this spot and the only way I got out was in person help through my local LLL leader and an IBCLC... I also changed peds.... my son was and still is a slow gainer and I believe he was put on supplements in error this may not be the case for you but what worked for my family was to to take away one of the supplement bottles every few days until eventually there was none... we were giving 4-5 bottles per day and removed all supplements by 4 months...it was hard, it took about 2 weeks to remove all supplements, he was extremely fussy every day... but we did it.... in the end my son was more alert and happier once we got everything straight.... you can do this but you will need help to encourage and support you if nothing else...

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The coming year will bring critical deadlines and key developments in a private company's plan to run electrical transmission lines from Canada through New Hampshire.
What it will not provide is any letup in the arguments on both sides of the power proposal.
Northeast Utilities' $1.4 billion Northern Pass would carry 1,200 megawatts of power produced by Hydro-Quebec through 187 miles of lines in New Hampshire. That's enough energy to power 1.2 million homes, and it would shore up a New England energy market showing signs of volatility.
The project is expected to take three years to finish. Backers say $300 million a year would flow into the state and some 1,200 construction jobs would be created through regions hard hit by the economic downturn and closure of several paper mills.
Opponents, though, worry that the transmission lines would forever scar the natural beauty of the state, particularly the White Mountains, and cut into tourism revenues as it runs south from Pittsburgh to Deerfield. They want to see the lines buried, something Northern Pass agreed to do for an 8-mile stretch in the North Country.
"Here's where I think Northern Pass is today," said Jack Savage, spokesman for the Society for the Preservation of New Hampshire Forests. "I would say the project is in jeopardy as long as Northern Pass and Hydro-Quebec refuse to look at more undergrounding of the proposed line."
The past year ended with the group that runs New England's power grid making the determination that Northern Pass could safely and reliably connect to the existing power system. After a three-year review, ISO New England announced Dec. 31 that it had approved the interconnection application, meaning Northeast Utilities can continue pursuing the project. The ISO decision also requires the project to submit more detailed plans.
That decision shocked Dan Dolan, president of the New England Power Generators Association and part of the reliability committee that did not secure the needed two-thirds vote to support the interconnection application. He said the ISO has never overruled the committee in 15 years and noted the Northern Pass is not explicitly related to grid reliability but is an elective project.
"We're pro-energy infrastructure," he said. "We just want it done on a level playing field."
Still to come is a decision by the U.S. Department of Energy on whether to permit the project and a state Site Evaluation Committee review that would be the final word. A spokesman for Northern Pass said a DOE decision is expected by midyear, and the state's nine-month SEC review should begin shortly thereafter.
"It will include public hearings and a tremendous opportunity for input," spokesman Mike Skelton said. "At the end of that nine-month window, that's really when you have the construction permit in hand, and you can put a shovel in the ground."
The goal is to begin construction in 2015 and be online in 2017, Skelton said.
Northeast Utilities will continue the outreach that ramped up in 2013, including paid advertising and another series of community meetings. Lauren Collins, a spokeswoman for Northern Pass, said the outreach, particularly the meetings, is aimed at answering the project's critics. She did not disclose how much would be spent on advertising.
"For people who are objective and want facts, once they get that, it's very hard to dispute the benefits of this project," she said. "We are happy to answer people's questions."
There are potential legislative hurdles facing the project though the sides debate just how high those hurdles might be. The House Science, Technology and Energy Committee is pushing a bill that would direct the SEC to give preference to privately funded energy projects if they bury their transmission lines.
Skelton and Collins believe the legislation is dead on arrival, brought by a small group of legislators that oppose the project.
"I think the legislature recognizes the danger of cherry-picking winners and losers through mandates," Skelton said. "Many of these proposals come back year after year."
Opponents like Savage see momentum toward either buried lines or the recognition of a third option: no new lines at all.
"We'll continue to monitor the regulatory process, continue to work with people in the legislature," he said. "The goal is to put the state in the position of making a decision in projects like these that are best for the state, not best for Northern Pass or for Hydro-Quebec."

Today's guest blogger is Mike Marvins, a fourth generation portrait photographer. His photographs, featuring the wilderness of Big Bend National Park in Texas, are currently on display on the mezzanine of HMNS. In this post, Mike discusses his experiences at Big Bend National Park.
Texas' Big Bend region has been a part of my life for over 40 years. As a new Scoutmaster, just off a four year stint as an officer in the Army, I was determined that my troop in Houston get a taste of high adventure backpacking. That first trip was a real learning experience for the boys and me. With July temperatures at over one hundred degrees on the Rio Grande we began the week with a downpour the first night. A real desert storm – and we had no tents. Even with all the hardships we were all entranced with the vastness and grandeur of Big Bend. That was the first of many, many trips — both with the Scouts and then with camping buddies and family.
Being a fourth generation portrait photographer, the two months leading up to Christmas were filled with eighteen hour workdays. Then on December 26 each year, I would go off to Big Bend for some mind-clearing solitude. That's the one thing most people have told me they treasure most about the area.
My photography in Big Bend started with snapshots of the people who were sharing the experience with us. Then, came many years of pictures of things that just caught my attention. These were just personal mementos, tucked away in albums. They were not made with any publication, articles or exhibits in mind. That let me be creative and make pictures that truly came from the heart. They reflect both the incredible natural history of Big Bend and its human history as well.
Several years ago, friends and clients urged me to share my pictures with "the world." That resulted in the book "Texas' Big Bend; A Photographic Adventure From the Pecos To The Rio Grande," published by Bright Sky Press in 2009. It's the first book that encompasses the (850,000 acre) Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, historic towns and ranches. The exhibit, now on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, is based on photographs from the book and prints that have been acquired by major art museums.

Rolle dreams big, works even harder
By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
ORLANDO, Fla. – Myron Rolle came to the right place to turn his oversized dreams into reality.
Disney World, the place that proudly proclaims at its gates that it's "where dreams come true," has become the backdrop for a 22-year-old man who thinks at once of being a great football player and a neurosurgeon.
Yes, at once. Most people would be happy to be just one in their lifetime. For Rolle, his desires run on a dual track.
Such an instance took place Tuesday when Rolle spent two hours training under a high blue Florida sky complete with the typically hot sun that sends Coppertone stock prices soaring. By Rolle's side is Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes who is still living off his own dream come true from February's game-winning TD catch. Both of them take direction from trainer Tom Shaw.
But where Holmes will eventually head back to Pittsburgh to resume his football career, Rolle is putting that part of his life on hold. He's heading to Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in September as he takes a year away from the game to chase the neurosurgeon gig. Even as Rolle keeps himself in shape these days, hoping to maintain his status as a first- or second-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft, he has made the medical gig a high priority as well. After a day of training, Rolle has spent afternoons shadowing orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brad Homan at nearby Celebration Hospital. He has gone on rounds and even observed Homan in the operating room.
"I didn't set that up for Myron," said Shaw, one of the best-known trainers with a client list featuring the likes of Deion Sanders and Michael Vick. "He did that on his own because he wanted to. Most of the guys I have here, they want to go test drive a car at Richard Petty's track or go fishing or get on the golf course when they're done working out. Myron spends his afternoon thinking about what he's going to do next with his life.
"You're not talking about somebody who is just driven. You're talking about somebody who is truly special, the kind of person who becomes a president or a world leader … he's different."
In his spare time, Rolle goes on speaking engagements around the country and has worked on developing health programs. This Friday, he's heading to Madison, Wis., to speak to high school kids. Next week, he's heading to the Bahamas, where his parents and three of his four brothers were born, to work on a long-term healthcare project.
A week after that, he's doing a leadership and fitness program for 100 children at Camp Blanding in Starke. Then he heads back to the Bahamas.
"We're not in any place for too long," said McKinley, Rolle's older brother who manages Myron's busy schedule.
Rolle accepts that fact with a minimal fight. Yeah, he's smart and he's not going to pretend otherwise. At the same, he's not lording his intelligence over anyone and he doesn't want to be defined by intellect.
"When I was at Florida State, they played up how I was really smart, this brainiac-type of guy, and that was fine," said Rolle, who graduated from FSU in 2 ½ years as a pre-med student. "But it's like they would talk about how smart I am and then that was it. I'm thinking to myself, 'I don't want to just be great in that. I want to be known as a great football player, too.' "
Rolle has the physical tools for the NFL. Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, who has spent 25 years at the school, said last season after playing Miami that Rolle played the most complete game at safety that Andrews had ever seen at FSU. Early in Rolle's career, Andrews compared Rolle to Sanders in terms of the ability to pick up the nuances of the game. Rolle did that all while balancing the athletic-academic equation the way Einstein worked out E, M and C.
Now, he's taking the balancing act to a different level and a different country.
While studying for his masters in medical anthropology in London, Rolle plans to work out to maintain his standing in the NFL. In December, he will get a six-week break to return to the United States. That's when he plans to work out for NFL scouts, coaches and executives in advance of the draft. To be ready, there's no time off, no wasted moment.
This is the Rolle family philosophy, a combination of respect and drive. Mother Beverly, who moved to Tallahassee at her son's request for college, was strict about order and approach. Her sons address everyone, even each other, with "Yes, sir" and "No, sir."
"If someone asked a question, there was never any of them saying, 'What?' to each other. There's a proper way to do things," Beverly said. If she drove the boys around, the eldest one of the group always sat in the front seat. It was a privilege that also created a pecking order of who was to be followed if she or her husband weren't around.
Father Whitney set similar examples, asking the boys questions when they drove around instead of letting time simply slip away.
"Idle minds get into a lot of trouble," said Beverly Rolle, whose other children include a banker, a lawyer and a nursing student. Myron not only got a 4.0 in high school, but also he was offered a scholarship to an acting school in New York after a prep career that included an inspired effort as Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof."
All of this is deserving of the highest admiration. Rolle's life is a picture of accomplishment. Between the athlete and doctor aspirations, you can put him on the list of the 50 most eligible bachelors in the world already.
Plenty of women have already taken notice.
"Yeah, there are plenty of them around," Beverly said, the motherly suspicion dripping from every syllable.
Then again, fitting in a personal life with everything else seems just a bit over the top for Rolle right now. Like his father, Rolle wakes up intrinsically knowing everything that he needs to do and how long it will take.
"He's the most disciplined person I've ever seen like that," McKinley said, mentioning that his brother doesn't eat fast food, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and doesn't waste time.
Still, you'd have to think that something has to give somewhere along the line. By Rolle's own assessment, he's not some "alien super-being" that some people seem to view him as from a distance. He has noticed people being downright intimidated when they talk to him.
While Rolle is special, he's still human. He still enjoys a good weekend on South Beach, looking at the women, the cars and the bling. No one would blame him right now if he passed on the Oxford gig to chase the NFL right now.
"Yeah, that stuff is nice and it's fun to look at for a weekend, but then you put that away and get back to real life," Rolle said.
Still, you keep looking for something else in this dream to give. The doctor-football player idea sounds cool, but it's a pretty tough reality to pull off.
"It didn't for Bill Bradley," Rolle said, mentioning the former Rhodes Scholar, NBA player and politician who Rolle admires above all others. Rolle went to high school in Princeton, N.J., where Bradley went to college. "That's the person that I look up to, the icon of what I'm talking about."
Rolle says that in all seriousness, without even a hint of bravado or arrogance. This is what he has always wanted, what he intended even before he signed with Florida State. When he went on recruiting trips, he didn't just talk to coaches about his football aspirations, he talked to counselors, professors and school presidents to make sure everyone was well aware of his plans.
"Everybody had to be on board with what I wanted. They had to know what I wanted and what they were signing up for," he said.
This is how you make dreams come true.

IT IS the Scandinavian political drama which producers feared would leave even Danish viewers cold.
But the phenomenal success of Borgen reached the streets of Scotland yesterday, as hundreds turned out in the capital to watch a cinema screening of the Danish television series' second season finale – and catch a glimpse of one of the world's most popular fictional politicians.
Sidse Babett Knudsen, who plays fictional Danish prime minister Birgitte Nyborg, travelled to Edinburgh yesterday to meet fans of the unlikely BBC4-screened hit series and speak about her inspiration for the acclaimed role.
Hundreds of devotees -– including Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, along with other MSPs – gathered at the Filmhouse for the special screening of the final two episodes.
For those not yet into the corridors-of-power drama, the action sees the country's first female PM do deals with minority parties to maintain uneasy alliances – while the leading characters' private lives mirror the tense juggling of their professional calling.
The mix, set against the same brooding Copenhagen skyline that marked stablemate The Killing, has been devoured by fans – including the nail-biting finale screened on Saturday night.
And arch spin doctor Kasper Juul – a shadowy figure modelled on Alastair Campbell – could not have fixed it better himself when Knudsen arrived to meet fans dressed head-to-toe in red and black tartan.
Originally, a single Filmhouse screening was booked to promote the DVD release of the second series, but such was the demand that the cinema cancelled other films to run three separate showings yesterday, with Ms Sturgeon briefly introducing the packed final run at 5pm.
"Why do we like it?" Ms Sturgeon asked the audience. "Maybe it gives us a glimpse of the country we could be."
She said she found herself in an unusual role for a politician. "I was interviewing her for Scottish television. The only thing I managed to get her to reveal is that there is to be a Scottish love interest in the next series."
Nyborg will fall for architect Jeremy Welsh in the next series, played by Monarch of the Glen star Alastair Mackenzie.
Mrs Sturgeon said Borgen was often realistic. "It's a drama but with an authentic twist. As a politician I can relate to it."
Emma Boa, box office supervisor at the Filmhouse, said she had rarely seen such a turnout. "Screen One seats 280 per showing and still demand was higher than we could accommodate" she said. "We even cancelled Les Mis at 2pm, which as you can imagine is very popular itself."
Among those in the queues were diehard fans, including a couple who had watched all 18 preceding episodes in 24 hours, before heading to the Filmhouse.
Knudsen, 44, gave audiences the inside track on Borgen – the nickname for Christiansborg Palace, the seat of the Danish Parliament – and revealed the crew's anxiety that the show would fail to draw even Danish viewers. "We were hoping to get OK audiences in Denmark, because after The Killing and other series it was a bit risky with a political series," she said.
"But somehow we just fell behind it, people kept watching and it was just amazing. A big surprise."
There are obvious parallels with the current Statsminister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the first female Danish premier, leader of the Social Democrats and daughter-in-law of former Labour leader and European commissioner Neil Kinnock.
While Knudsen played down any suggestion she had used her real-life counterpart for inspiration – the first series was filmed before Ms Thorning-Schmidt came to power in October 2011 – she said the rise of interest in female politicians helped the series along the way.
"There something with the timing that has been so lucky," she said. "For some reason I cannot explain, politics in Denmark became a little more popular. Ten years ago it was 'blurgh', but for some reason it was a little more popular.
"And we had this lady who was maybe going to be prime minister."
Knudsen said she and the cast found it difficult to fathom how a TV series about the corridors of power in a small Scandinavian state – Denmark's population is about the same size as Scotland's – could get millions of viewers across Europe hooked.
"What's really important is that the series is very Danish," she said. "We're not sucking up to America. It's taking this chance of making something that's just in Denmark, about Danish people and for Danish people.
"The success is partly because you are discovering something you didn't think you'd see. There's a loyalty to these treasures we find ourselves, in a sense it's a cult. I'm not just loving this American film like everybody else. It has an exclusivity to it."
Borgen is produced by the public sector broadcaster DR, which had already had success with The Killing. "It's a public TV station, there are no commercials, were not allowed to do any product placement" Knudsen explains.
"It's quite pure in that sense and that means everybody wants to do it. We get the best directors, the best photographers, the best writers – it's a highly regarded product."
The first series, of Borgen, aired on BBC4 in January 2012, follows the shock rise of Birgitte Nyborg, her veteran deputy Bent Sejro and spin doctor Kasper Juul – played by Pilou Asbæk, 30 – to the offices of Statsminister.
The second series focuses on Denmark finding its place in world affairs, including Nyborg witnessing at first hand the losses suffered in Afghanistan.
Knudsen said she herself went from having a jaded view of politicians to sympathising with their role, a transition she hopes viewers would also make. "When I started doing it I became a little bit offended when heard people talking about the political game," she told the audience. "They talk about them as chess pieces, and it's very disrespectful.
"This is giving an insight into these chess pieces – actually made of blood and dreams and feelings and realness.
"Borgen [the parliament itself] is a fantastic dramatic scene. There are so many possibilities, ideals and cynicism, parallels and emotions – got it all."
Fans were interested in Knudsen's views on Holyrood and the referendum next year. They also sought her take on her considerably popularity among politicians here, such as Alison Johnstone, the Green MSP, who was also spotted in the audience.
However, she managed to both charm her audience and avoid the question on several occasions, except to say that she was "a little bit stunned" at the admiration.
The third series – which she hinted would mark a considerable shift in style from the first two – is scheduled to be the last, but Knudsen offered a glimmer of hope to the fans who turned out yesterday.
"We'd never say never," she laughed.
Ms Sturgeon admitted she was as "excited as anyone" about the third series
She added: "I've given up trying to be dignified. I've just met Sidse Babett Knudsen."
