The gtatemeiiit, signed by Ahmed Bala- frej, secretary general of the IMIqlal Party, reads: "In on attempt to discredit the national movement of Morocco, French colonial circles have ac¬ cused the Moslem population of anti-Semitic sentiments towards the Jews. As a matter of fact, no specifically Jewish problem exists in Moiw:ca, where Jewish end Moslem communities have existed side by tUde tor centuries In mut¬ ual tolerance, respect and under¬ standing. Both are victims of a colonial regime which has ruled their coimtry since 1912; both are struggling and making sacrifices to bring about their common national Bspina tlons.

Mor¬ occo is their cotmtry, Its freedom Is their freedom; who helps the Jewish Moroccans helps Moroccan Independence," the statement con¬ cludes. Simultaneously, tbe Moroccan. Office of Information and Docu¬ mentation Issued another state¬ ment reviewing tlie rights of the Jews in Morocco. The statement. Issued tmder the title "Bock- grouiid on the Situation of Jew¬ ish Moroccans," reads: "The Jews, who found refuge In Morocco from Spanish persecution In the fifteenth century, have never lived in Inequality; They liave always hod complete free¬ dom of worship and independence within their communities regard¬ ing courts of justice, police, syna¬ gogues, parochial education and the administration of public bene¬ fit funds. Never have restrictions of any sori been placed upon tA«m. The right to practice their pro¬ fessions and to engage in com¬ merce, both at home ond abroad, was always assured them at a time when anti-Semitism was widespread all over Euroi>e. theirs was a privileged position. More¬ over, they were under the special protection of the Sultan, which even today remains the highest distinction a Moroccan can attain. It Is noteworthy that Kurppeans who ho*e wanted to travel freely and with ease In Morocco hav« dis¬ guised themselves es Jevra to pass protected and unol>served. "Of extreme significance is the Decree of Februaiy 5, 1864, Issued by His Majesty Mohammed IV: 'It is our order that all Jews residing dn ovir Empire, regardless '>t the situation in which the Al- nlghty has placed -them, should be treated by our governors, admin? Istrators and, other subjects fn conformity with strict Justice; that before our courts of justice they should be on on equal bqsls with any other person; that not even the slightest Injustice niay be done them, nor any unmerited treat¬ ment accorded th?m. Neither the authorities nor any other person shrill do any harm to Jews, either to their person or their property . . . Because such (m Injustice is an injustice In the Heavens and we' cannot -under any circum¬ stances prejudice their rights or those of any other person; oyr dignity Is opposed with all Its might to such proceedings. In our eyes, all men have an equal -right to ask fpr justice . . .' "Under the Petaln regime in 1B41 and 1942, Jewish Moroccans did not suffer from the discrimi¬ natory Nazi laws, the now exiled Sultan, Mohammed V, being per¬ sistently opposed to such proceed¬ ings. In turn, the Jewish Moroc¬ cans have repeatedly expressed their gratitude for his forceful democratic stand. Jewish Moroc¬ cans live side by side with their Moslem countryinen in the same townsi In tbe some houses, In the game apartments. They are in con¬ stant social and commercial con¬ tact with each other, carrying on their affairs as true partners . . ," UJA GROUP REPORTS ON SITUATION IN NORTH AFRICA PARIS, (SPECIAL)-—Despite upheavals and unrest and thc recent outbreak of violence, the medical, welfare' and emigration prograiEw supported by the Jews of America on behalf of their fellow Jews iti- Morocco have suffered no abatement, Maurice Bernstein, Executive Director of the United Jewish Fund of Columbus, Ohio, reports. High¬ light of Bernstein's visit to Paris, as part of a study group sponsored by the United Jewish Appeal, was a session on the present situation In North Africa as it affects the Jew^ of that area. Speakers included Jacques Danhan. secretary of the Coimcil of Jewish Commimltles of Morocco; Samuel Haber, American Joint Distribution Committee di¬ rector for Morocco, and AmoB Rabl, director of the Jewfcrfi Agency in Morocco. M. W. Beckelman. Director-Gen¬ eral of AJDC, presided. AJDC and the Jewish Agency are constituent agencies of the UJA, which is 0 major beneficiary of the United Jewish Fund of Co¬ lumbus. Earlier in the day, the study group attended a session o n European countries at which Beck¬ elman and Charles H. Jordan, -As¬ sistant Director-General of -AJDC, and other members of the AJDC staff told of the work being done by the organization on behalf of 27,000 Jewish men, women and children in need of help in West- em Europe. Haber, reporting on the work of AJDC In Morocco, announced the completion of a new tuberculosis center . for 100 adults in Ben Ahmed, near Casablanca, and the opening this fall of a kindergarten for 500 Jewish children In Fez. He said that the medical programs of AJDC now care for 35,000 children, the majority stricken with trach- otna (a blinding eye disease), scalp rln^orm and tuberculosis Ojn- sMerable headway In counteract¬ ing these diseases has been made, he said. Thlrty^housand children are now receiving nourishing food In AJDC-supported schools and kin¬ dergartens Including 1,500 who at¬ tend the ORT school. He added that the summer camp and holiday programs sponsored by AJDC are continuing despite the tension and unrest In the country. Thes tudy tour ended with a visit to AJDC-supported installa¬ tions around Paris. Members of the group first saw the ORT school, where 600 yoimg men and women are taught such skills as welding, machine operation and rtpair, sewhig and clothes design¬ ing; then visited a summer colony for 95 uiider-prlvileged French Jewish children. Before coming to Paris, the group spent 11 days in Israel In¬ specting (he work o#AJDC and the Jewish Agency, several days in Rome to view AJDC activities in Italy, then visited the Jewish Agency transient camp near Mar¬ seille, France, where emigrants from North Africa are gathered before leaving Israel.

Impressions of the first half of the Chicago Bears-Cleveland Browns game
Dan Pompei
** Zack Bowman answered the question about if he was just a practice wonder with that interception. The guy just has a knack for the position -- in addition to being blessed with good size and excellent speed. He still looks like the best corner on the team.
** It's disappointing to see anyone hurt in the fourth game of the preseason, but the injury to Kevin Jones isn't the end of the world. Even if it's a serious injury, it happened at a good time because the Bears can find a replacement now.
** Very interesting that Rashied Davis was given the night off. Many presumed he was on the bubble, but apparently Lovie Smith was not one of those. Davis now looks safe as can be.
** Odd that Cleveland coach Eric Mangini did not play Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson. Earlier in the week Mangini said he still was evaluating the quarterbacks and had not settled on a starter. Apparently Mangini saw something before kickoff that ended the quarterback competition.

A brand that is popular in Europe is now available here is the USA.
That means real local support for some very exciting designs.
One of the kites presented by Blade for 2012 is a lite wind kite.
Its a 17m 3-strut, 4-line SLE with a mini-5th.
If you are thinking of getting a lite wind kite than this is one of those kites you must try IMO.
Its fast and easy to set up...all 3 struts and the LE are connected by a one pump system for perfect pressure and stiffness.
The 4-line bar with kook proof connections lays out and attaches smoothly and quickly.
I noticed instantly how smoothly and powerfully this kite gathers traction, yet de-powers nicely during a hot launch.
The bar has very good throw and the above the bar strap adjustment for de-powering works smoothly.
For a guy my size, 210lbs, 8 or 9kts of wind speed felt like my low end for planning and pointing upwind with speed on a race board.
In 12 kts the kite felt like it was in the mid range of its power scale, with gobs of sweet power for going upwind or jumping on any style of board.
In 16kts I was effortlessly jumping with a lot of vertical lift and using the de-power strap to dial in my throw at the bar.
Turning speed is quite excellent for a big kite, and I would not hesitate at all to take this out in the surf.
In fact having this kite in your quiver would be a real session saver anywhere you happen to find yourself.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this kite gets a solid 10 from this rider.
I have to admit it, I fricken love the Fat Lady and I am keeping a watchful eye on these new Blade kites!
Its a fun design that will get you stoked to the max man, like totally!
(go pro from my 1st session)

Argentinian famous blog "Blueberry Musica" invited Svetlana to give an interview prior her recital at CCK Symphony Hall:
Review by Kay Anthony
Every once in awhile, members of Ponca City Concert Association are surprised and thrilled to find just one of the concerts during the season is more than worth the whole membership. Hearing critically acclaimed Russian pianist, Svetlana Smolina on March the 19 on the Poncan Theater stage was the one for me this year. I had read that she was an outstanding pianist with a luxuriant tone, that had impressed critics and audiences the world over, but I was not prepared for the amazing talent Live on Stage and our board members had booked for us.
Just for fun, during the intermission, I decided to ask as many people as I could for a one word adjective to describe how they had felt about the concert thus far. Some of the many comments, most similar in meaning, but all having their own special take were awesome, excellent, fantastic, wonderful, enchanting, marvelous, mesmerizing, brilliant, intense, scintillating and wow! One could not just say one word and said simply, "a stellar performance".
Others wanted to comment on her appearance, which was over the top. The statuesque beauty had long blonde hair down to her waist, and easily could have been a model. The first half she appeared on stage in a floor length tangerine ball gown, and the second half, changed into a teal/blue sequined gown that she said she had put on especially for her performance of "Blue Danube". When she played it later, we would not have cared what she had on, but were truly transported to the Danube River as she played a most difficult arrangement of the complete Strauss waltz. In introducing the number, she said when she was first given the score, she looked for the other piano part because there were too many notes for one pianist. Somehow, she mastered the arrangement and it truly was one of the favorites of the evening.
A grouping of pieces from Tchaikovsky's ""Nutcracker Suite" was especially fun to hear in piano arrangements rather than with a full orchestra. The well known "March" followed by "Dance of the Fairy Draget" conjured up pictures of the ballet, but "Trepak" at the end was so fast and furious I had trouble imagining someone being able to dance that fast. It was a great way to end this suite and was over almost before it began.
Other selections from Chopin, Schumann, Shubert and Balakirev were equally played to perfection but too numerous to comment on all individually in this review. However the Balakirev number was, according to Svetlana, one of the hardest pieces in piano literature, and she said she had to work the most on it, and shed many tears, in learning it. To say the least, this practice paid off and it was incredible.
Born in Russia, but having been in the United States for some time, she still had a Russian accent, but managed to communicate with us exceptionally well as she explained about each of the works in detail. I reminded a few who said they couldn't understand everything she said, how hard it would be for us to be in Russia and try to do the same thing to their audiences, speaking their difficult language! I gave her an "A" for effort and thought she was charming, and appreciated her ability to laugh at herself. One very endearing statement she made that we all understood was the fact that she loved playing in our breathtaking Poncan Theater and said she had been in few concert halls as beautiful as ours, and hoped that we appreciated it, and would really like to be invited back. In many classical concerts, there are a string of lengthy compositions, some by composers at least I had not heard of. However, Svetlana chose familiar composers and pieces for the most part that we could identify with and really enjoy her renditions of them. Another audience favorite was Franz Liszt's "Liebestraum", sometimes called "Dream of Love". People who have visited European countries were again transported to the country and many memories came to our minds upon hearing such classics. Another in this same vein was Bizet's opera, "Carmen", which took place in a cigar factory in Seville, Spain with a bull fighting theme. This piece happened to be her last one, and her whole demeanor changed as she threw herself into the bull fighting section. The whole number was emotion packed and as she said, usually was a show stopper. She teased that she hoped we would still remember other numbers she had played prior to the last one.
Although she didn't give an encore performance, she received a standing ovation practically before this last number was over. We all wished for more, but knew this special concert had to come to an end and I am quite sure not one in attendance left not thinking they had been highly entertained by one of the best.
The last concert of the season, Stringfever, will be on April 14 at which time memberships for next season will have been sold and those holding new memberships will be admitted to this concert too.
Information on the drive will be in The Ponca City News soon, but those wanting it now can call Leslie Rardin at 765-3971.

"Four unfinished portrait" - a music subscription with the same name opens tomorrow night in the Nizhny Novgorod Philharmonic. The first concert dedicated to Sergei Rachmaninoff. Today the artists had a final rehearsal. It was visited by the film crew of the program "Vesti - Volga region".
{avsplayer videoid=13 playerid=3}
(Ópera Perú) La pianista rusa Svetlana Smolina hizo una particular y muy intensa presentación este jueves 24 de setiembre en el Auditorio Santa Úrsula.
El evento fue especial ya que la joven intérprete dedicó al público limeño un programa doble, algo muy inusual en las salas de concierto. En la primera parte, Smolina ofreció un recital de piano en el cual demostró su versatilidad interpretando obras de Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Chopin y Liszt. Esta obras tenían como tema conductor el amor. Hablamos de la suite "Cascanueces" de Tchaikovsky, Scherzos de Chopin, "Widmung" de Schumann, y "Liebestraum" de Liszt. Todas las obras fueron aplaudidas efusivamente.
En la segunda parte Smolina interpretó el famoso segundo concierto para piano y orquesta de Rachmaninov, junto a la nueva Orquesta FIlarmónica Teresa Quesada, la cual está conformada por los mejores músicos del país. La orquesta estuvo bajo la dirección el experimentado Pablo Sabat.
Así es como Svetlana Smolina mostró su versatilidad y talento en un programa intenso que dio grandes satisfacciones al público.

Occur within the dreary, CG-heightened 1950s, Sucker Punch is approximately a female protagonist named Babydoll (Emily Browning, who replaced Amanda Seyfried within the role) who retreats right into a fantasy world to flee hard truth: that in only days, her evil stepdad will have her lobotomized.
by GabboT
by GabboT
Based on the trailer, Babydoll's "real" planet is really a dark and gloomy mental hospital in Brattleboro, Vermont, the place where a Polish-accented Carla Gugino tells her in voice-over that she can escape into her fantasy world. "What you're imagining right now," she purrs, "that place is as actual just like any pain."
With Gugino's encouragement, Babydoll intends to escape -- and she or he takes her hot fellow mentally insane patients (Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens) along with her into...
... a fantasy globe in which the girls, interrupted reside in a brothel as glamorous burlesque performers. You'd think that couldn't survive so poor, but then they apparently need to leave this fabulous brothel destination for a complete numerous motion movie tasks, designed with big guns, B-52 bombers, fighting techinques skills, samurai swords, and knives as sharp as their skirts are short. Via a number of tasked challenges, this guitar rock band of deadly teenagers will ostensibly earn some kind of "freedom" -- and now we the audience will be around the receiving end of some cinematic sucker punch we never saw coming.
Somewhere in this awesomeness, you will have musical numbers. Elaborate, glitzy, cabaret-style musical numbers serving up song and dance alongside everything action and killing. Stylized trench warfare and burlesque -- two excellent tastes that taste fantastic together?
Let's take particular notice on the characters of Sucker Punch, as dreamily (or nightmarishly?) conceptualized by photographer Clay Enos in the initial batch of character posters. Each individual piece depicts a different Sucker Punch lady and, presumably, her respective signature outfit and weapons of choice -- combined with the specific setting which could prove significant for her inside the film.
Emily Browning as Babydoll is a schoolgirl vision in blonde pigtails plus a sassy stare who wields a pistol in one hand plus a samurai sword within the other. Snow falls around her as she stands facing a pagoda, suggesting her large challenge should come fighting the massive samurais we have seen within the trailer.
Abbie Cornish's Sweetpea evokes medieval maiden by having an edge -- a pantless, armored dragon slayer shown using a castle in the background.
Amber, played by Jamie Chung, is apparently a WWII-era fly gal who likes lollipops, wears chaps, maybe flies a B-52 bomber and fights having a massive robot. A robot having a bunny face.
Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie isn't blonde. She does, nevertheless, wear a slick, slightly much more updated outfit that somewhat resembles a ninja cowgirl. And also the gun. She's got a huge, big gun. One thing here's clear: Hudgens says so long to her Senior high school Musical days.
Jena Malone's Rocket is harder to read, but she does hold a knife at her side, which promises stabby action. Also, fishnets. Her scene happens on an alien planet having a helicopter.

A critical defect in BIND 9 allows an attacker to cause excessive memory consumption in named or other programs linked to libdns.
A flaw in a library used by BIND 9.7, 9.8, and 9.9, when compiled on Unix and related operating systems, allows an attacker to deliberately cause excessive memory consumption by the named process, potentially resulting in exhaustion of memory resources on the affected server. This condition can crash BIND 9 and will likely severely affect operation of other programs running on the same machine.
Please Note: Versions of BIND 9.7 are beyond their "end of life" (EOL) and no longer receive testing or security fixes from ISC. However, the re-compilation method described in the "Workarounds" section of this document will prevent exploitation in BIND 9.7 as well as in currently supported versions.

Additionally, other services which run on the same physical machine as an affected BIND server could be compromised as well through exhaustion of system memory.
Programs using the libdns library from affected versions of BIND are also potentially vulnerable to exploitation of this bug if they can be forced to accept input which triggers the condition. Tools which are linked against libdns (e.g. dig) should also be rebuilt or upgraded, even if named is not being used.

The Ocean Cleanup system has been developed over five years of trial and error by Boyan Slat and his team at The Ocean Cleanup. Their first objective will be for the system to establish itself within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) and collect vast amounts of plastic.
WATCH: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch explained
Approximately eight million metric tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans every year causing at least 100 000 sea mammals and millions of sea birds and fish to die annually from plastic ingestion or entanglement.
The Ocean Cleanup system is the brainchild of 24-year-old Boyan Slat
The Ocean Cleanup Foundation is a Dutch company founded by Slat when he was 17. Trash accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.
The Ocean Cleanup develops advanced technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic. A full-scale deployment is estimated to clean up 50 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.
Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods – vessels and nets – would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete.
The Ocean Cleanup passive systems are estimated to remove half the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years, at a fraction of the cost.
A long, floating barrier acts as an artificial coastline, passively catching and concentrating ocean debris, powered by the ocean's natural currents. Click here to see how it works.
Humans end up ingesting micro plastics
More than five trillion pieces of plastic are floating in the world's oceans, causing damage throughout the food chain. This is of great concern due to the toxic chemicals contained in plastics, as well as the pollutants that plastic attract once they are in the marine environment.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Christina Aguilera flubbed a line as she belted out the national anthem at the start of the Super Bowl Sunday night.
When she was supposed to sing the line "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," she instead repeated an earlier line, with a slight variation.
She sang "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming," which is the same line from earlier in the song but with the word `watched' instead of the word `hailed.'
The mistake immediately set social networks abuzz with people commenting on the error. Aguilera's representative did not immediately return a call and e-mail seeking comment.
She's not the first person to mess up the lines of "The Star-Spangled Banner." In 2001, Macy Gray was famously booed for her off-kilter rendition of the national anthem. She garbled the words at the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition game in Canton, Ohio, her home state. She later told The Associated Press: "That was definitely life's most embarrassing moment."

The big news for the past few weeks has been the back and forth between Congress and the president over raising the debt ceiling to keep the country from defaulting on its financial obligations.
Everyone knows that we can't keep borrowing forever. Eventually we have to get our financial house in order. We all do that (at least most of us do) in our own homes, so why can the country do it? It turns out, it's a lot harder than you think.
"Marketplace" is an American Public Media radio program that is actually one of my favorite shows on National Public Radio. Kai Rhyssdal actually manages to make financial news interesting and even entertaining on occasion. And to further educate and illuminate us, "Marketplace" brings us an update to its popular Budget Hero game from 2008.
Budget Hero 2.0 is a Web-based game in which you can take a crack at balancing the federal budget. Good luck!
The game starts you off with a look at the budget in the year 2021, should our government's current policies stand as they are without any changes. Things look pretty bleak; some of the buildings representing the various sections of the budget are literally sky-high. The game predicts that, if no changes are made, our budget will go bust in 2031, at which point our debt will equal 100 percent of our GDP. That's pretty sobering.
Okay, time to roll up the old sleeves and get to work.
Each section of the budget, such as health care, has a set of "cards" you can play that will, according to the best estimates of the Congressional Budget Office, either raise or lower the budget.
For instance, you could decide to revamp Medicare and Medicaid Ryan-style, which would definitely cut a fair amount out of the budget. The card states the pros and cons associated with playing it, where the savings would come from, and who it is likely to affect the most. Many times I would click on a card because of the huge savings it offered, only to close it again un-played after reading the information.
Although I am by no means an economics expert, I still was able to get the budget balanced and most of the debt paid off by 2031. However, to do this I had to play some cards that would never ever get played in real life, where the people making these decisions have to worry about things such as riots.
Heck, my boss, Lab Director John Breeden II, nearly Mil-Spec drop-tested my head seven feet for even considering raising the gasoline tax in one game. And that is what makes this current budget so hard to get under control – it's not the numbers, it's the political and social consequences of every decision you make. One thing this game made abundantly clear is that, no matter what you believe, something will have to be done about Social Security, and quickly. There were only a few cards I could play in this area, which I guess shows how few simple adjustments can be made without a serious overhaul. And even with all factors implemented, Social Security costs doubled from 2012 to 2026, and nearly tripled by 2031 (the highest year you can look at in the game).
Even in the successful game, where I had a trillion-dollar surplus going in places and had nearly all of the foreign debt paid off by 2031, the budget was still slated to go broke in 2048, mostly due to Social Security.
I know what you're thinking, "How hard could it be?" Well, give it a try.
And if you figure out how to fix Social Security and balance the budget, let us all know, okay?

The figures and how each card would affect the deficit and debt are based on analysis done by the Congressional Budget Office, which is nonpartisan. Just because you believe something does not mean that your belief is based on fact. So to the commenter that cried foul because a repeal of "Obamacare" would increase the deficit, face facts. Not everything is a conspiracy concocted by liberals.
Interesting game.... the problem is the "static" assumptions, that do not account for behavior changes based on Policy, which is truly what happens. It did confirm that this is biased to the left, when you repeal Obamacare and the deficit goes UP. No way; right out of the DNC manual.
The destruction of the bourgeoisie is well underway!
Unfortunately too many people do not understand the concept of competition and why structuring things more like the "Health Savings Account" concept is the only sustainable way of providing for everyone.
We clearly need more cards here. The best I could get with cards I know would never be played by either side, still had the budget busting in 2043. I would see that as not acceptable, short term thinking.

Another day, another arrest for the Jersey Shore cast.
TMZ is reporting that cast member Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was picked up on Sunday morning and arrested for unpaid parking tickets. According to TMZ, Ronnie paid the tickets, and was released. The above picture was taken after his release.
The Seaside Heights Police Department released a statement stating "Ronald Ortiz was placed under arrest for outstanding warrants from two separate jurisdictions … Mr. Ortiz was transported to the Seaside Heights Police Department where he was processed and later released after satisfying the conditions of these warrants."
This is the second arrest for a JS cast member in two weeks. Snooki was arrested back on July 30th for public intoxication.
In other Shore news, RadarOnline is also reporting that Snooki now has a new boyfriend. According to Radar, Snookie's new BF is Jeff Miranda, who is described as a 24-year-old Iraq veteran.
It also seems unlike Snooki's ex-boyfriend Emilio Masella, who is now trying to become a reality star, Jeff wants to keep their new relationship low key. He posted the following on his facebook page – "People no more Snookie (sic) talk… She is an amazing girl and couldn't ask for any more or less. I am not making any further comments about Nicole and myself. When the time is right you will be updated."
However a source tells RadarOnline Jeff isn't the good guy he's trying to portray himself as, saying he is a "player" and "he's become a gym rat and hooked-up with Snooki to get popularity and fame. Let's face it, the guy wants to be a star."

Making goals isn't enough
The holidays are over.
In the words of the great Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket, "The holidays are over! Rest and relaxation is for yesterday and today isn't that day, ladies! You had better unscrew yourself from that idiot box and sit your *ss down in a chair and generate some words for me, you maggot!" (Okay, he didn't really say that, but he could have if he ran a writer's group.)
But work without a plan is just motion. Planting butt in seat and running your fingers across a keyboard just generates words. If your goal is to complete a first draft–a worthy goal–that might be a good way to go forward.
But if your goal is loftier, you need more than grit and a keyboard with the letters worn off.
You need a plan. With that in mind, here are some ideas to help you plan your way to progress this year.
- If you don't sit down and write, what keeps you from doing it? What steps can you take to remove those obstacles?
- What training will you take this year? What books about the craft will you read? What conferences will you attend? What writer's groups meetings?
- If there's something that holds you back, what is it? What writers have you spoken or written to about how they overcame that specific obstacle? Have you talked to your fellow writer's group members? Have you suggested the topic to your writer's group leader?
- What do you need to research for your work? How do you intend to do it? Who will you interview about that topic and how do you intend to approach them?
- Who will be your beta reader? Who will critique your work? Where will you find this person? What are you willing to bring to the relationship to make it mutually beneficial?
- What do other writery friends think you need to start doing, stop doing, and continue doing? What do you think you need to start doing, stop doing, and continue doing?
- What will you do to set expectations for those around you that writing is an important part of your life?
- What will you do to learn about the business and how to get representation? What will you do with this knowledge?
Don't just consider these questions. Write them down and add your own. Then answer them. Not all the work involved in being a writer is wrapped around writing. Some of it's about getting better, research, understanding the business and how to succeed in it.
Once you determine your goals, map out the path to them, including the interim steps required to get there. If your goal is to get representation this year, then figure out the steps required, such as finishing your work, identifying agents who represent your type of work, writing and refining your cover letter, developing and honing your pitch.
Identify resources you can use to move forward in that regard, such as books, conferences, and pitch-practice services. Put time frames down for all your goals.
You can't get there without a map, so don't just make yourself a set of goals, map the process for achieving them.

Consumer confidence unexpectedly cooled in July as Americans became less optimistic about the outlook for the economy.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment decreased to 83.9 in July from 84.1 the month prior, today's report showed. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for a gain to 84.7. The gauge reached an almost six-year high of 84.5 in May.
The recent increases in mortgage rates and prices at the gas pump may have restrained consumers' views on the economy in the next six months. At the same time, the group's gauge of current conditions jumped to a six-year high as stock prices approached a record after falling in the middle of June.
"It's a slip in confidence from recent highs rather than the start of a new downward," said Gennadiy Goldberg, a strategist at TD Securities Inc. in New York. "As we get later in the year and the economy improves, consumers will start to see better numbers and they'll notice that."
Forecasts of the 66 economists for sentiment in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 80 to 88. The index averaged 64.2 during the recession that ended in June 2009, and 89 in the five years prior.
The Michigan survey compares with the weekly Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index, which climbed to minus 27.3 in the week ended July 7, the highest level in more than five years, from minus 27.5. The figures showed Americans were more upbeat about their finances than at any time since April 2008, while a gauge of the buying climate increased to a nine-week high.
Producer Prices
Other figures today showed prices paid to producers rose 0.8% in June, more than projected and the most since September.
The Michigan survey's measure of current conditions, which takes stock of Americans' views of their personal finance, increased to 99.7 in July from 93.8 at the end of last month.
The gauge of expectations six months from now fell to 73.8 from 77.8.
Mortgage rates this week climbed to the highest level in two years. The average 30-year fixed rate was 4.51% in the week ended yesterday, according to data from Freddie Mac. In November, it fell to a record low of 3.51%.
Gasoline prices have also increased this week. The average cost of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was $3.55 yesterday, up from $3.47 at the end of last week, according to figures from AAA, the nation's largest motoring organization.

Pulmonary hypertension (PULL-mun-ary HI-per-TEN-shun), or PH, is increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. These arteries carry blood from your heart to your lungs to pick up oxygen.
PH causes symptoms such as shortness of breath during routine activity - for example, climbing two flights of stairs -, tiredness, chest pain, and a racing heartbeat. As the condition worsens, its symptoms may limit all physical activity.

It's being described as "Baghdad's bloody Sunday." On September 16 a heavily armed State Department convoy guarded by Blackwater USA was whizzing down the wrong side of the road near Nisour Square in the congested Mansour neighborhood in the Iraqi capital. Iraqi police scrambled to block off traffic to allow the convoy to pass. In the chaos, an Iraqi vehicle entered the square, reportedly failing to heed a policeman's warning fast enough. The Blackwater operatives, protecting their American principal, a senior State Department official, opened fire on the vehicle, killing the driver. According to witnesses, Blackwater troops then launched some sort of grenade at the car, setting it ablaze. But inside the vehicle was not a small sect from Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia or the Mahdi Army, the "armed insurgents" Blackwater described killing in its official statement on the incident. It was a young Iraqi family–man, woman and infant–whose crime appeared to be panicking in a chaotic traffic situation. Witnesses say the bodies of the mother and child were melded together by the flames that had engulfed their vehicle.
Gunfire rang out in Nisour Square as people fled for their lives. Witnesses described a horrifying scene of indiscriminate shooting by the Blackwater guards. In all, as many as twenty-eight Iraqis may have been killed, and doctors say the toll could climb, as some victims remain in critical condition. A company spokesperson said Blackwater's forces "acted lawfully and appropriately" and "heroically defended American lives in a war zone." Blackwater's version of events is hotly disputed, not only by the Iraqi government, which says it has video to prove the shooting was unprovoked, but also by survivors of the attack. "I saw women and children jump out of their cars and start to crawl on the road to escape being shot," said Iraqi lawyer Hassan Jabar Salman, who was shot four times in the back during the incident. "But still the firing kept coming and many of them were killed. I saw a boy of about 10 leaping in fear from a minibus–he was shot in the head. His mother was crying out for him. She jumped out after him, and she was killed."
Salman says he was driving behind the Blackwater convoy when it stopped. Witnesses say some sort of explosion had gone off in the distance, too far away to have been perceived as a threat. He said Blackwater guards ordered him to turn his vehicle around and leave the scene. Shortly after, the shooting began. "Why had they opened fire?" he asked. "I do not know. No one–I repeat no one–had fired at them. The foreigners had asked us to go back, and I was going back in my car, so there was no reason for them to shoot." In all, he says, his car was hit twelve times, including the four bullets that pierced his back.
While the shooting in Nisour Square has put the issue of private forces in Iraq–and Blackwater's name specifically–on the front pages of newspapers around the globe, this is hardly the first deadly incident involving these forces. What is new is that the Iraqi government responded powerfully. Within twenty-four hours of the shooting, Iraq's Interior Ministry announced that it was expelling Blackwater from the country; Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki called the firm's conduct "criminal."
The next day, the State Department ordered all non-US military officials to remain inside the Green Zone, and diplomatic convoys were halted. The Iraqi government, acting as though it was in control of the country, announced that it intended to prosecute the Blackwater men responsible for the killings. "We will not allow Iraqis to be killed in cold blood," Maliki said. "There is a sense of tension and anger among all Iraqis, including the government, over this crime."

Waiting for the Miracle David Yaffe
"Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld/So I can sigh eternally." It has been more than fifteen years since Kurt Cobain groaned those words on Nirvana's final album, at a time when Cohen was on a tour that could have been his last. Cobain was 26, and with the aid of a shotgun he would soon deliver himself to his own afterworld; Cohen was 59, "just a crazy kid with a dream," as he likes to say these days. In the decade that followed, Cohen would study religious practices and retire from touring; his hair would turn a ghostly white; his longtime (and now former) manager, Kelley Lynch, would misappropriate millions of dollars from his retirement account. In 2006 Cohen filed suit against her in a Los Angeles court and won, but with payment of the $9 million settlement in limbo (Lynch has ignored the ruling and brushed off subpoenas), he decided to earn his keep by embarking on another final tour in 2008 and 2009. The Leonard Cohen Afterworld was going to happen after all. The man who had once been anointed the "prince of bummers" by The New Yorker was soon presiding over a tightly choreographed career retrospective and hopping on- and offstage with a toothy grin.
Despite his bread-and-butter motives, Cohen has approached the tour with anything but cynicism. With self-deprecating humor and septuagenarian angst, and draped in dapper men's wear, Cohen often delivers his songs on one knee, hat in hand, as if begging or sermonizing, supplicant not only to the audience and his fellow musicians but to music itself. His voice ranges from gruff crooning to keening on the lowest frequencies, and each song he sings, plucked from nearly his entire recording career, going back to 1967, is somehow about a search for beauty, for lust, for wisdom. (The two albums missing from the tour's playlist, Death of a Ladies' Man, from 1977, and Dear Heather, from 2004, perhaps journeyed too deep into the valley of sleaze to make the cut.) The songs are about making love or sitting at a master's feet–or both.
I saw Cohen from coast to coast: New York City in February, Los Angeles in April. In between I caught a performance in Claremont, California, of The Book of Longing, a 2006 collaboration between Cohen and Philip Glass that set poems of Cohen's to chilly atmospheric music. I walked out of the New York performance at the newly restored Beacon Theatre dizzy with gratitude. Cohen played for three impassioned hours; his band's musicianship was superb, and he told stellar jokes. He recited lines from selected songs, as if to emphasize that his lyrics were not merely poetic but poetry. From "Democracy": "But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that Time cannot decay,/I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet." From "Anthem": "Ring the bells that still can ring./Forget your perfect offering./There is a crack in everything./That's how the light gets in." Garbage, music, stoicism, beauty, truth: Cohen's signature elements all linked in perfect rhyming couplets. When Cohen recited lines, he slowed down his delivery–even in a night of pop music–to allow the audience to savor every syllable. On one song, alternate lyrics for "A Thousand Kisses Deep," he drew cheers by doing nothing but recite. The audience laughed at the jokes and seemed stunned by the profundities. Live in London, a 2008 performance recorded at London's 02 Arena (where Michael Jackson was to have launched his comeback), features a set list similar to the current tour's and lots of patter almost identical to what I heard this year. Just pretend it's spontaneous.

Pinoccio Wi-Fi Development Board
Here's a bit of history… In late 2012 or early 2013 I became aware of this Indiegogo campaign titled "
Pinoccio – A Complete Ecosystem Building of the Internet of Things
" It was a small 1″ x 2″ Arduino compatible board using a chip similar to the one used by the Arduino Mega. This variety had a built in mesh radio such as used by the X-Bee system. It had a built-in LiPo battery, an RGB LED, a temperature sensor and a Wi-Fi backpack. You could connect to one of the units called a Lead Scout via Wi-Fi and then it would communicate to the other units over mesh radio which were known as Field Scouts. I quickly signed up at the $149 support level which would get me a Lead Scout and a Field Scout. Although the units were a bit pricey, if you added up what it would cost to buy an Arduino Mega, battery, charger circuit, X-Bee radio, and Wi-Fi module it seemed like a bargain at the time. They were seeking $60,000 in funding and end up raising over $105,000. Put this in proper context note that this was several months before

. Note that Spark Core has recently rebranded as MCM Liz Large Reversible Shopper Tote Bag Black fRAjFg5Ypa
Had Pinoccio made its original delivery date of July 2013 they would've beaten everyone to market and would've been a major player in the Internet of Things movement. There were plans for a smaller version without the battery and sensors that would've been easier to embed into production products. There were plans for a variety of backpacks or shields including the one I was most anxious to see… infrared LED and receiver. My goal was to use it to create an Internet capable IR remote. I wanted to create an inexpensive alternative to the RedEye IR Remote from ThinkFlood. And it was a good thing I was planning such because ThinkFlood was shutting down as seen here .
My Pinoccho boards upon arrival.
The folks from Pinoccio quickly learned the hard lessons of crowd sourced funding. Lesson number one is inevitably "If you've got a great idea it's easier to raise money then it is to bring a product to market." I won't bother to recount the litany of things that caused multiple delays but the bottom line is that backers did not get their units until April 2014 a full 10 months past the initial estimated delivery. The reasons were the usual things: finding suppliers, finding someone to make the boards, setting up the business itself. It seemed that the main reason/excuse for delays was that "We want to get the software right." Here is my blog post which gave my initial positive reaction to the devices when they finally arrived .

GLS Campus Berlin
History & Architecture
The GLS campus re-establishes a historic block of buildings in the center of Berlin. Designed in the 19th century, when Berlin´s population was growing rapidly, the block originally accommodated a high school and a public bath house (today the hotel).
The School & the Apartments
GLS bought the building in 2005. Today the 3 upper floors accommodate classrooms. On the ground floor GLS opened a restaurant, serving modern German food.
The apartments
The 2 buildings, that accommodate the apartments, were built in 1867 and 1910.
Historically, they were part of a public school that operated from 1867 till 2005, when the Berlin senate closed it down.
Hotel Oderberger
The hotel is the most spectacular building on campus, a Berlin landmark under monument protection. It was built in 1902 as a public bath house ("Stadtbad Oderberger").
The baths survived WW II but were shut down in 1986 due to damages in the bassin.
The baths dilapidated till GLS bought them in 2011 and converted them into a boutique hotel. The conversion was nominated for the Berliner Architekturpreis.
The hotel rooms are in the 2 wings flanking the cathedral-like pool hall in the center:
See the fantastic interior in these videos of artists´performances that took place in the baths while GLS renovated them: Artist Johanna Keimeyer and Dancer Corey Scott-Gilbert.

There's all the usual L.A. puck-friendly, pub-seeking celebs who are supposed to be going red carpet at this Dodger Stadium deal tonight — Cuba Gooding Jr., Alan Thicke, Pat Sajak, Jason Bateman, Matthew Perry, Kevin Connolly, Alyssa Milano, Jon Hamm, Will Ferrell and Taylor Lautner.
Even Jarrett Stoll's gal-pal has made the evite list. Don't go all Hollywood on us now, journalist Erin Andrews.
So where the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is Ice Cube when you really need him?
Meaning, if there a snowball's chance in Fritz Coleman that the weather map will be the real story here, and this important regulation contest between the Kings and Ducks could get postponed and/or canceled or — worse — sent indoors to be played as a warm-up act for the Grammys, how do we play it SoCal cool?
Perhaps you're mistaking this for New Jersey and the Super Bowl. We'll cross that coned-off bridge when we come to it.
• Yeah, but what if all the hot-and-heavy breathing from the players, not to mention what steam will be coming from 50,000-plus customers in the stands in anticipation that KISS might kiss themselves all goodbye with one lethal guitar lick, results in a thick marine layer blanketing everying? Do you call in the Marines?
Fear not. They'll bring out the heavy artillery — dehumidifiers, garden hoses, popsicle sticks — when the call to duty demands it.
Even extra makeup artists.
• Forget the beach volleyball courts and palm trees that are supposed to be planted around the ballpark tonight. If the NHL really wanted to California-up this game, why wouldn't they use solar-power energy to juice up all those ice-making generators?
• Why would the Kings, a franchise that's become accustomed to selling out Staples Center ever since that Stanley Cup run a couple of years ago, relinquish their rights to a home game for the privilege of taking its rivalry to the downtown Ravine?
Vanity. And because the NHL paid them handsomely for their troubles, with the illusion that they'll be able to attract more casual fans to the game who could become regular die-hards.
Maybe, maybe not.
All we know for now is this is the first time in the Freeway Face-Off series that Stadium Way exit on the 110 comes into view of those Dodger-colored blue lines. The Kings have more to lose than the Ducks, who are just along for the swan dive.
How about someone get that hot tub in the visitors' bullpen bubbling to soup temperature?
• Would it be right to say that this un-conferenced, unconventional, perhaps unwatchable Team Rice vs. Team Deion setup that the NFL has concocted for its latest Pro Bowl exhibition on Sunday is still far from a Burfict system?
• We're not sure which side of the argument to take on the abolishment of the PAT in the NFL. Has either side really gotten their point across clearly?
• An ESPN SportsNation poll asked fans how they felt about Kobe Bryant starting in the NBA All-Star (as he was voted in by the fans) despite missing most of the season. So far, 75 percent of the 150,000 voters said they are not OK with it.
So you're trying to ask those same fans who most likely voted in the All-Star selection process if they'd now like to call themselves out?

I'm attempting to get a better understanding of parasite removal procedures.
I have seen the following terms used
- End running tasks
- Unregister DLLs
- Clean Registry entries
I think I understand what ending a process and Clean Registry entries means but I have not been able to get an explanation of what Unregister means.
Can any one give a pointer to or an explanation please.
(I'm an old hardware engineer so this software stuff is not my cup of tea)

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was originally passed in 1994 in response to the prevalence of domestic violence and the pervasive effects that it has on victims' and survivors' lives. The Act is set up to be authorized about every five years and was thus reauthorized in 2000 and 2005. The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011 (S.1925) was introduced in the Senate on November 30, 2011 and appeared before the Committee on the Judiciary on February 7, 2012. VAWA is set to be brought before the Senate in the near future, possibly even this week.
Upon introducing VAWA on the Senate Floor, Senator Leahy, the Sponsor of the Act, made a statement urging all Senators to support VAWA. He stated, "[VAWA] seeks to expand the law's focus on sexual assault, to ensure access to services for all victims of domestic and sexual violence, and to address the crisis of domestic and sexual violence in tribal communities, among other important steps. It also responds to these difficult economic times by consolidating programs, reducing authorization levels, and adding accountability measures to ensure that Federal funds are used efficiently and effectively." He notes that for the past eighteen years, the Violence Against Women Act has been "the centerpiece of the Federal Government's commitment to combat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking."
In 2009 more than two thousand advocates responded to national conference calls and surveys regarding the most pressing issues facing victims and survivors of interpersonal violence and the barriers to full implementation of VAWA. Subsequently, the responses were recorded and three of the top issues recognized were barriers to service for undocumented victims, lack of services to LGBTQ victims, and high levels of violence among Native Alaskan and Native American women.
The National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Against Women states, "VAWA programs…give law enforcement, prosecutors and judges the tools they need to hold offenders accountable and keep communities safe while supporting victims." The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011 includes several changes to the Reauthorization Act of 2005, including providing more resources for underserved populations, enhancing law enforcement and judicial tools to combat violence against women, strengthening the healthcare system's response to interpersonal violence, and providing safe homes, economic security, and legal services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Fact sheets detailing the specifics of the many facets of VAWA and examples of what organizations receive funding from VAWA can be found here.
On February 13, 2012 The Diane Rehm Show, aired by NPR and WAMU 88.5, hosted three women to discuss "Objections to Reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act". Listen to the broadcast here. The panel of women included Amy Myers, Professor and Director of the Domestic Violence Clinic at American University's Washington College of Law, Terry O'Neill, President of the National Organization for Women, and Janice Crouse, Senior Fellow at the Beverly LaHaye Institute, the think tank for Concerned Women for America. Myers and O'Neill voiced their support for VAWA, while Crouse shared her concerns with the Act. Crouse argued that there are no indicators that VAWA has reduced the occurrence of interpersonal violence. However, the U.S. Department of Justice has reported that since VAWA was first enacted, reporting of domestic violence has increased by as much as 51%. Myers and O'Neill rebut Crouse's claim by stating that the rise in reporting evidences the increased visibility and accessibility of services to victims and survivors. Organizations like legal clinics and shelters are saving lives. Homicides at the hands of intimate partners have decreased by 57% for men and 34% for women, which is reported to have a direct correlation with the increase in legal aid and protection orders due to the Violence Against Women Act.
Amy Myers shared that the Centers for Disease Control reported that for the 1.6 billion that was allocated for VAWA in 1994, the United States saved 12.6 billion dollars, which can be attributed to decreased spending on health care, police forces, and lost wages due to injury. Terry O'Neill believes that the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011 needs to be passed and fully funded because "it is a start." There are many reasons why people from both political parties believe that VAWA does not do enough, but she believes that this should not be a reason to not pass the Act.
There are currently sixty co-sponsors of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011, including North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan. However, Senator Richard Burr is not a co-sponsor of VAWA. If you support VAWA, please contact your Senators and share your opinions. The phone number for Senator Burr's Office is (202)224-3154 and the phone number for Senator Hagan's Office is (202)224-6342. Consider thanking Senator Kay Hagan for co-sponsoring VAWA and urging her to continue to support all victims and survivors of interpersonal violence. Consider urging Senator Richard Burr to support VAWA and vote yes when the Act reaches the Senate Floor. No matter your opinion regarding the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011, please take the time to contact Senators Burr and Hagan to share your opinions on this extremely important matter that affects far too many Americans. Have questions or comments about VAWA? Please share them below!
