Galey & Lord Files Chapter 11
Fabric maker Galey & Lord filed for protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code on Tuesday, but said the move would not affect its operations.
The voluntary petitions for the Greensboro-based parent company and its U.S. subsidiaries were filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, the company said in a news release.
The company, which employs about 5,800 people worldwide and 4,100 in the United States, manufactures denim for Levi Strauss & Co., which is its biggest customer.
Galey & Lord said that a poor retail environment in retail, exacerbated by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, created an economic climate that necessitated a restructuring of the company's debt.
The filing is the latest setback for a textile industry that has been hurt by cheap imports and the recession.
Galey & Lord has reduced costs and downsized through plant closings over the past two years.
"The company does not contemplate any additional plant closures. We are now taking steps to resolve our financial challenges," said Arthur Wiener, Galey & Lord's chairman and chief executive. "When this action is successfully completed, the company will have a strong balance sheet that will enable it to pursue its strategic goals."
Galey & Lord said reorganization offered the most viable way to keep products rolling to its customers while being able to access new capital and restructure its balance sheet.
To this end, the company also announced that it has entered into a $100 million financing agreement with Wachovia Corp.
Galey & Lord said it expected court approval to pay employee wages, salaries and insurance benefits.
Included in the filing are Galey & Lord Industries and Swift Textiles Inc. The company's international subsidiaries including Klopman International have not filed for reorganization and will not be affected.
Galey & Lord is one of the largest U.S. producers of denim, accounting for 35 percent of its sales.
Galey & Lord also makes corduroy and is a major international manufacturer of workwear fabrics. It also sells dyed and printed fabrics for use in home fashions.
The company has plants and warehouses in North Carolina and Georgia and plants in South Carolina, Quebec, Italy and Tunisia.

text: I don't really use the MBP on wireless unless I'm elsewhere but I have noticed over the course of the last couple of months when I've used the HP, Sonys and Dells in the same places is that the MBP's wireless range is notably inferior to any of the other machines - especially the Dells and Sonys. Is this the norm? Or is this yet another issue I have to have looked at with the machine?

Slate tiles have a natural beauty that makes them a desirable product for floors, wall and countertops within the home. Like any natural stone product, slate tiles are porous and are therefore able to absorb substances that come in contact with them. Slate tiles that have been used in a shower, may absorb minerals or soaps that will produce white spots on their surface. Slate tiles used on floors can develop similar spots from salt tracked in from the outdoors, improper cleansers or spills from various liquids.
Step 1
Apply a stone cleaner to the slate tile. Stone cleansers are available as liquids; pour some of the cleanser directly onto the white spots on the slate and then scrub the surface of the stone with a scrub brush.
Step 2
Rinse the slate with clear water and allow it to dry completely.
Step 3
Apply a poultice to the slate wherever white spots still remain. The poultice will penetrate the stone, lifting out stains to the surface where they can be rinsed away. Cover the poultice with plastic wrap or a plastic drop cloth and allow the poultice to work for one hour.
Step 4
Rinse the poultice off the stone with water and reapply stone cleaner. Scrub the surface of the stone a second time with the scrub brush to remove any substances the poultice has brought to the surface.
Step 5
Rinse the stone a final time and allow it to dry.
Step 6
Seal the slate tiles with an impregnating sealer to help protect them from further white spot stains. Paint the sealer onto the tiles with a foam paint brush, allow it penetrate for an hour and then wipe up the excess with a lint-free cloth.

Throughout today, IGN is breaking exclusive news regarding the relaunched Batman titles. In our last round of info, we debuted the Batgirl #1 cover shown below. Speculation has since run rampant about whether it's Barbara Gordon or not, and now DC has confirmed it with the following statement from writer Gail Simone on their Source blog:
"Barbara Gordon is pretty much my everything. Because of the Batman TV show, she was the reason I fell in love with superheroes. Because she was a redhead who could kick ass, she is the reason I fell in love with comics. She was always forward-looking as Batgirl, a girl who was smarter than the male characters, who had class and elegance and style, as well as tough-as-nails grit. For a long time, there was simply nothing else like her in comics, and for me and a lot of other readers, her every appearance was joyful and explosive.
For many years, I got to write the character as Oracle, and there is to this day, no character who means more to me. This is classic Barbara as she was originally conceived, with a few big surprises. It's a bit of a shock, to be sure, but we're doing everything we can to be respectful to this character's amazing legacy, while presenting something thrilling that a generation of comics readers will be experiencing for the first time...
...Barbara Gordon leaping, fighting, and swinging over Gotham. Now, when citizens of that city look up, they are going to see Batgirl.
And that is absolutely thrilling."
The decision is sure to be met with a lot of controversy, as Barbara Gordon has long stood out as a figure of diversity amongst the superhero community, bound to a wheelchair for over 20 years and serving from behind the scenes as Oracle. It remains to be seen if DC will be addressing the drastic change within the book, or simply continuing forward as though she had never been paralyzed.
DC Comics also confirmed that Dick Grayson will be returning as Nightwing.
Expect to be hearing a lot about this on the comics interwebs today.

Orlando Oak Ridge's Steve Barton is not your typical linebacker.
At 5-foot-10 and 180, Barton appears to be lacking enough size to be an effective force on the football field. Add the fact he had never played a down of high school football until last Friday's high school season opener, and it's easy to see why opposing coaches could overlook his name on scouting reports.

Science Fiction Trading Card Spotlight - James Gunn
Our next Science Fiction Trading Card Spotlight Features James Gunn who is displayed on card number 44, from the Science Fiction Collection. Jim, who is a science fiction writer with many awards to his name. Awards that include the Pilgrim award in 1976, SFWA Grand Master Award in 2007, along with being inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2015. Jim also received an award for the book "ALTERNATE WORLDS: THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION", from the 1976 WorldCon before WorldCons began awarding Hugos to non-fiction. An updated edition of ALTERNATE WORLDS is scheduled for publication next spring. His teaching has produced several generations of writers and teachers. Jim is retired as a Professor of English at the University of Kansas, where he earned two degrees in 1947 and 1951. Jim's autobiography, "STAR-BEGOTTEN", was published a couple of months ago. The third volume of his TRANSCENDENTAL trilogy, TRANSFORMATION, was published in June.
What does it take to be a professional writer today?
What it has always taken—a love of language, stories that demand to be told, determination to get it right and then get it published, and a burning desire to keep improving. I used to tell students that the first thing a writer has to learn is who he or she is and then how to put that knowledge, that unique perception of the world into stories that only the author can write. If the writer can do that he or she will be published. If their unique vision of the world happens to appeal to enough readers, they may even be successful.
How has writing today changed from when you were younger? What do you like or dislike about the changes?
It has become far more a job and far less a labor of love. That applies to science fiction, too. The more popular it is, and the more money is available, the more the work is aimed at pleasing people in profitable ways. Success can be a problem.
Did you ever think when you were younger you would be on a trading card?
It never crossed my mind—or my imagination.
When did you first meet Walter day and where was it at?
We had some correspondence, but our first meeting was at MidAmeriCon.
If you could describe Walter Day in one word, what would that word be and why?
Dedicated. To do what he has done out of love for science fiction is out of this world.
How early in your life did you know you would be a writer?
Pretty early. I wrote a poem when I was in kindergarten and my father (a printer) had it printed on a card. That got me started thinking about publication. The next stage was when my parents got me a used portable typewriter when I was 12 or 13. That was transformative.
Alternate Worlds: The Illustrated History of Science Fiction
If you did not become a writer, what would you be doing?
A teacher (although I am that, too). An editor (I was that). Maybe a copywriter. But I can't imagine an occupation that wasn't involved with words.
Are you still involved with writing today, and what role do you play?
I'm still writing—non-fiction at the moment, but I have a story idea or two. I'm still doing some teaching and advising younger writers.
What are your favorite type of books and why?
I've gone through stages when I read historical novels, detective novels, science books, but I always came back to science fiction and, occasionally, fantasy. They offered soaring avenues of imagination into unknown lands.
How has your involvement in the writing profession been important to you?
It's what gets me up in the morning and keeps me going through the day. Whenever I had the time—even during the school year—I was always working on something or thinking about writing something. It's been the center of my life.
What do you think about electronic books that you can download versus the actual physical hard copy?
It can be a great opportunity for writers who have the particular skills to make it work for them. I grew up in a different era, and I fell in love with the printed word, so I like the look of it and the feeling that someone somewhere liked it enough to put it into print and pay me for it. And it will last until the paper falls apart.
What authors do you admire today and who did you look up to as a child?
My heroes were the authors of my youth. There is a saying that the golden age of science fiction is twelve. I fell in love with science fiction and fantasy with authors like Edgar Rice Burroughs and A. Merritt, moved on (or back) to Jules Verne and H. G. Wells and then forward once more to Jack Williamson, Clifford Simak, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, and A. E. van Vogt. The last twenty years or so have seen the emergence of a great many talented writers, and I salute their accomplishments, but they cannot compare with the icons of my youth.
Who is your favorite celebrity and what makes that person special?
I think President Obama did a remarkable job in a sane and sensible way under great difficulties.
Did you play Video games growing up and what were some of your favorites?
There were no video games when I was growing up. No video either. We played simple board games like Monopoly when we weren't out playing baseball.
If you could own one arcade game or pinball game, what would it be and why?
I used to like pinball, but I couldn't describe anything particular.
What are your favorite books past and present?
I taught twenty-five novels in my science-fiction class; they may not have been my favorites, but they represented the books that I thought had played a meaningful role in the development of today's science fiction. You can look up the list on the Center for the Study of Science Fiction website. Or the list I put together called the "Basic Science Fiction Library."

Gotta see more Anata here, what a beautiful woman...
Outstanding model - great photography so far too.
Anata, this name and this girl we must remember in future. She has everything a good model needs.
Charm and perfect appearance. Sexy look and feminine naturalness.
Warm brown eyes, long brown hair and a dear angel face. So she have already seduced us.
But also her tiny breasts with the beautiful dark stiff nipples are provocatively sexy. I would love to caress them.
Her Butt is smooth, round and firm. Her pussy juicy, with big swollen pink wrinkled labia. They want to be put into my mouth.
Long legs and pretty silky feet. Each toe is suckable and lickable sexy.

Can I get a sticky please?
Wiring a Head Unit
Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of Head Units and wiring them. For those who do not know a Head Unit is a radio and is usually the first aftermarket thing that a person does to their vehicle. You do not void your warranty when installing an aftermarket head unit even if you do it yourself as long as it is put in properly.
You should always use a wiring harness when putting in a head unit. This allows you to use the wires off the head unit and then it will plug right into the vehicles existing plug that was being used for the original head unit. These are only about 15 bucks at most.
When you are removing a DIN and a half or a double DIN (DIN refers to the height of the head unit. Aftermarket head units are usually DIN sized unless said otherwise) head unit and replacing it with a single DIN head unit, you are going to need an installation kit. What this does is cover up the empty area that you would have around the radio and also allow you to mount the radio into the stock location using the stock screw holes
Every car is different as far as removing the original head unit is concerned. Some are easier and some are not. Some you just need to pull the trim piece off from around the radio and then unscrew the radio, while other will require removing heater controls and trim from around the gauge cluster, like a Kia does. Some have screws that are located in the ashtray area that need to be removed first
For Ford and Volkswagons you are going to need to get a set of keys to get these radios out. You can get these at Best Buy for 5 bucks. All it really is, is a piece of metal that is double ended and has a little hook on each end that slide into the side of the head unit and allows you to pull it out.
All GM vehicles will need an antennae adapter. It seems GM thought it would be funny to make their antennae smaller than the hole it needs to plug into on any aftermarket head unit. So you need to get an adapter that the antennae plugs into and make the plug bigger so that it will fit. So plan on spending another 6 bucks for this piece if you have a GM vehicle
Ok, if you have not noticed yet, there are a lot of wires coming off of the back of the head unit also coming out of the wire harness. The speakers take up 8 of those wires (2 for each side. I have included a diagram of what a radio can look like. There are some wires that will be on your head unit that are not listed but I will get to those also. Also, in the picture it only shows one wire for each speaker channels, but there are really 2 they are
White and White w/black stripe = left front speaker
Grey and Grey w/ black stripe = right front speaker
Purple and Purple w/ black stripe = right rear speaker
Green and Green w/ black stripe = left rear speaker
Ok that takes care of the speaker wires. If you are using an exterior amplifier for your speakers, then you will not need to connect them. There are also some other wires that are on the back of the head unit. They are
Orange Illumination (this means that when you dim your interior lights, the head unit
Will also dim. This is usually not connected and has a tendency to blow fuses)
Blue w/white stripe and also a blue wire there 2 wires are used to send a signal out to an
Amplifer to turn it on (remote turn on) and the other one is used for raisng a
Raising a power antennae. Make sure you check which is which so you do not
Connect them wrong!
Black This is the ground wire
Yellow this is constant 12V or the battery wire or the memory wire (which ever you like to call it)
Red This is the 12V switching wire or the ignition wire.
Make sure you do not confuse the red and yellow wires also or else you will have problems
Aftermarket head units will usually have at least one set of RCAs on them. This can either be a set of wires coming out of the head unit or 2 plugs on the back of the head unit. If your head unit has a set of non fading sub output RCAs, this means there is a third set of RCAs on the back of the head unit. These are for the subwoofers and the volume of them will not change if you use the fade function on the radio. They remain constant.
A lot of head units now are coming with a 4th set of RCAs, which would be for a CD changer. And there is also a 5th set of RCAs on higher end head units, which is for an auxillary output such as a DVD player or something along those lines.
OK well I think we have now defined that big mess on the back of the head unit, so lets start connecting the wires.
Now I know that since this is a guide, I should really only list the best way to make the connections, but that is not always practical. So here you can pick one. I will list them in order of how good the connections is.
First would be to solder the wires together. This would make the best connection. After the solder cools in about a minute, wrap in electrical tape.
Then there is wire nuts or crimps they have different names to different people but basically you put the 2 wires into this plastic thing and crimp it down around the 2 wires, connecting them this way.
Then there is good ole wrap and tape. Stripping the wire and twisting them together and then wrapping up with electrical tape. This makes the worst connection, however I would venture to bet that 95% of all head units in peoples cars are done this way!
Well the connections are made, plug in the antennae and turn on the power and see if there is any noise coming out!
If the amplifiers will turn on and play music when you have the radio on but now when you put in a CD you have the remote turn on wire and the power antennae wire switched.
If you lose the time or the programmed radio stations every time you shut off your car, then you have the red and yellow wires reversed.
These are the 2 most common mistakes that are made.
Hope this guide helped you out. If you are still having problems, or have a specific question about your car or the head unit itself. go to community.caraudioresources.com and pot your question in the Head Units section.

By offering customers the option of not returning items, in exchange for further savings, Jet has the potential to reduce its costs significantly
(PRWEB UK) 27 August 2015
There's a new kid on the e-commerce block, and one that could be as revolutionary as Amazon was on its launch 20 years ago. International airfreight comparison site ParcelHero, an e-commerce fulfilment specialist, says the new US site Jet.com will be a game-changer in the industry, thanks to its unique cost saving approach to logistics.
ParcelHero's David Jinks MILT says Jet.com has had a successful flight so far after its take-off on July 21. The new site already has some 1,600 retail partners, and is selling some 10 million products. David says Jet's claim that its customers will receive 'the lowest price on anything they buy online', is viable because of its innovative approach to deliveries. Says David: 'Many companies fail to perceive how their delivery options can actually give a positive commercial advantage. Here is an instance of a newcomer bringing an entirely new approach to fulfilment and returns, significantly reducing its overall costs.'
Explains David: 'The site makes much of its money from customers' initial subscription of just under $50 – rather like Amazon's Prime membership. For this it promises to offer prices that are 10-to-15% lower than anywhere else. How Jet keeps its prices low is because of its delivery options: products start at about 8% cheaper "up front", but the site then offers additional discounts when shoppers combine multiple orders into a single shipment, which cuts delivery costs. The more customers bundle purchases, the more the discount increases.'
David reveals one other clever way Jet keeps costs down is by asking customers to waive the ability to return something. 'By offering customers the option of not returning items, in exchange for further savings, Jet has the potential to reduce its costs significantly. Once an item has been returned twice no one makes money on it; and some sites are experiencing up to 60% returns on items such as clothing.'
And there's one other delivery option that also reduces prices and costs dramatically. 'Buyers will also make savings by waiting for their orders. By pushing slower economy shipping offers, Jet won't be competing on speed but price,' says David.
David says the skies for Jet look clear so far. Jet is led by Marc Lore, a founder of online retailer Quidsi -- including diapers.com and soap.com – which he sold to Amazon in 2011 for $545 million. 'The new company is concentrated on its logistics. Lore has spent $40 million on hiring 300 people; opening warehouses in Kansas, Nevada and New Jersey; and taking losses through subsidized prices.'
ParcelHero's recent industry report – Amazon's Prime Ambition – details how the original industry disruptor plans to fight off new competition through building its own logistics provider, Amazon Logistics.

Farewell to Chickamauga
By Mike Bennighof, Ph.D.
December 2017
It doesn't seem so long ago, but it was. Every year, my Boy Scout troop made the short trek up to the northern Georgia to hike the trails of Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park. I was never all that engrossed by the American Civil War, but I knew about the Orphan Brigade and Waul's Texas Legion, the Washington Artillery of New Orleans and the Rock of Chickamauga.
We'd published a Gettysburg game and decided to follow it up with another battle game, but designer Dave Powell - a noted authority on the Battle of Chickamuaga - was adamant that he could not design a game on the April 1862 Battle of Shiloh as he'd promised to do so for another publisher. He was deeply apologetic about it and didn't seem to believe that I didn't care. I'd wanted a Chickamauga game from the start.
Some of the earliest board wargames concerned battles of the American Civil War, and after more than a half-century every major battle has been covered many times. I'm not as familiar with the genre as I am with others, and wanted something that, surprisingly, Dave told me had never been done before (that has to be an oversight; surely someone's done it). The Battle of Chattanooga took place two months after Chickamauga, just to the north, and I sought a game that covered both with a linking campaign.
The Battle of Chickamauga took place in September 1863, and its confused nature in the thick woods of north Georgia has made it a difficult game design topic. Dave used the War of the States/Empires system to craft a game that shows the battle unfold very well. The Union has been advancing southward and Braxton Bragg's Confederates come forward to meet them. The Union's northern flank appears to be open, but the Confederates have to slog their way through the woods to get there.
Well aware that 1863 is not 1943, Dave has styled the game's terrain effects appropriately: it's hard to move through the woods in formation, and it's hard to keep your troops moving. But the woods by themselves don't give any defensive benefit. So the side with better leadership (those would be your corps and army commanders) and better strategic guidance (that would be you) has a distinct advantage. In the actual battle, the two army commanders performed rather indifferently, but George Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga, saved the day by bringing up his Union XIV Corps to cover the Army of the Tennessee's flank just in time.
The Confederacy counted Chickamauga as a victory, since the Union retreated back to Chattanooga, but the butternut-and-gray missed their chances to inflict a decisive defeat on the Yankees. Bragg followed them to Chattanooga and settled into a siege, one finally broken after the arrival of U.S. Grant to command the Northern forces.
That battle took place in late November, when Grant sent Thomas to undertake a minor probe against the Confederate lines that miraculously turned into a successful all-out assault that Thomas told Grant his men had launched spontaneously. In the game, the Union player can instead try Grant's plan, which has William T. Sherman crossing the Tennessee River to hit the very thin Confederate siege lines in the flank.
The campaign game, of course, ties these two together and does what I really like to see in wargames: it puts the battle's strategic goal right there on the map. It's not enough just to push the Yankees around down at Chickamauga Creek; the Confederate player wins by capturing the vital Union supply center of Chattanooga. If he or she beats up on the Union at Chickamauga, the next step is to press on to Chattanooga.
The game system is the same one we use in the Battles of 1866 games: the battlefield is divided into irregular areas shaped by the terrain within them. There are "long" pieces representing infantry divisions, and square ones for artillery, cavalry and leaders. Troops are rated for combat strength and morale, leaders for tactical ability and initiative. Artillery can fire at a distance. Combat is decided by the venerable "roll a six" method, with modifiers for morale advantage, terrain, leadership and so on. Activating your forces is probably the most important aspect of the game; the side with better leadership and organization has a distinct advantage.
Chickamauga & Chattanooga was the second game in the War of the States series, and it will be the last. It sold reasonably well, and we have about ten copies left on hand at this writing (December 2017). But with a new Civil War series from Avalanche Press set to debut in the near future (Rob Markham's Civil War Campaigns), we won't keep two series in print.
We never gave Chickamauga & Chattanooga the Daily Content love it deserved; the last new piece we did gave me an excuse to write about George Thomas, a Southern hero worthy of statues, and we produced a couple of wonderfully strange (and, believe it or not, historically grounded) variants in the out-of-print Snowfall 2014 Golden Journal: elephants for the Union, and a helicopter for the Confederacy. I'm glad we published Chickamauga & Chattanooga: doing so let me walk those trails once again, and the game sold well enough to sell out without the threat of destruction. But we all have to know when to let go, and these last copies will be the last.

The curfew that was imposed yesterday did not seem to be enforced for tourists, so I spent the day wandering around the city. The cops were strictly enforcing it for Nepalis but were letting us tourists go where we wanted. All of the shops and restaurants were closed so there wasn't much to do, but I did get a good sense of the layout of the city. The Nepalis are asking the tourists what the situation is like out there. When I arrived at the guest house hotel, the first thing the owner asked me was, "so what's it like outside?"
Later in the afternoon, a silenced Kathmandu turned into a raging Kathmandu. Demonstrations started cropping up all over the city. Ambulances were everywhere. I watched one stop in front of our guest house, bandaging up one injured demonstrator's head. Well into the night, I could hear the sound of chanting, protests, tear gas being fired. The same cops who that morning, when asked, cheerfully posed for a photograph, were, that afternoon, beating up demonstrators with their thick bamboo sticks.
This morning (Monday), the strike and curfew were supposed to be over. Right now (it's 8:00 AM) the city looks normal. But because of last night's violence, another curfew is being imposed today. The newspaper says that this time it will be a "real" curfew. From what I can gather, a "real" curfew is a shoot-to-kill curfew. I guess I won't be taking any pictures of the police dudes today! :o(
For those of you who are concerned - no worries! I feel pretty safe in the guest house I'm in. Although I can see what's going on if I step outside, the house itself is up a little hill and is not in the line of fire. There are a number of other tourists here.
And yeah Dale, I would feel much better if I was up in the mountains also. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, but right now, it's not looking good for my trek to start tomorrow.

Schroders is looking at launching a second climate change fund in early 2008.
The fund will be run using a quantitative-based model, giving access to a more diversified range of stocks than qualify for a place in the existing portfolio.
Schroders chief investment officer Alan Brown says the fund is still in the planning stage but will be based on work conducted by Professor Rob Bauer at Maastricht University.
Brown says his work fits in well with what Schroders is trying to do in finding investable opportunities from climate change.
He says: "Bauer's work is unique in that it looks at the entire investment universe without stripping out certain factors like size and geographies of companies while it will also look at bad firms that are cheap to access.
"One area we have to look at is whether Bauer's research on US companies can be taken globally but if this does go ahead it would sit well alongside the global climate change fund we launched last month."

SOAPIE notes
Just curious, does anyone still use this form of charting? I used to love it, like putting a puzzle together. It is also very focused and complete. But, I'm glad I don't have to use it these days since I absolutly do not have the time! Too many patients, too little time.

When I worked in the hospital setting, I saw a few doctors and especially residents use the SOAPIE format. You're right that it is time intensive. You're also right that this format is one of the best in keeping care focused. The physician that pushed this format forward some decades ago knew this but had quality on his mind and was hoping that as staff learned to use it and grew to respect it, that patient care and outcomes would considerably benefit from clear, concise written communication. As you point out, unfortunately you do not have time for SOAPIE notes.
I'm going to assume that your facility does not document on EMR (electronic medical records)? I believe that as the full implementation of rules and regs related to HIPAA get closer that you may find that your documentation requirements will become more standardized.

New Delhi: The interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir will be ready to engage with separatists groups including Hurriyat Conference in the feedback process on their report submitted to the government.
"We will be more than willing to approach the separatist groups to engage with them let them give us their feedback on specifics on the report of what it said.
"Let them also know that the focus of the report is on the political aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir...." Dileep Padgaonkar, one of the three interlocutors, said after government made public their report.
He said the government has encouraged them to get the feedback. "It is only after getting the feedback including from the political parties and once a consensus develops, the government can take a view on it," he added.
Asked whether their report reflected the opinion of separatist groups like Hurriyat Conference, he said the interlocutors team has met more than 700 delegations and represents all shades of opinion.
"It is true that the separatists did not meet us. We made every effort to meet them but they did not meet us. However, their views are well known and taken into account in the writing of the report," he said.
Besides Padgaonkar, Jamia Milia University professor Radha Kumar and former Information Commissioner MM Ansari were the other two members of the group which submitted its 176-page report to Government last year.
Padgaonkar said that they would be holding series of debates and discussion with political parties to get a "structured feedback for the report" and would like an informed public debate on it.
Asked about their recommendations about making the Line of Control as irrelevant, he said "we want the movement of goods and people across the LoC to become as hassle free as possible so that the LoC turns into a Line of Concord and Cooperation."
Asked whether the interlocutors were pressing for a pre-1953 status by recommending setting up of Constitution Commission, which will review all the Acts and Articles introduced after 1952, he said that there had been differing views on this since the time of former state Chief Minister Shiekh Mohammed Abdullah.
Sticking to the stand taken by them in the report of not pleading for turning the clock back, he said there was a need to look at the future and "the future should take into account the changed security and economic situation."
"We have said most of these Articles and Acts are fairly innocuous. There are barely five or six issues for which we need to discuss.
"They concern appointment of Governor, the powers of the Governor, the nomenclature issues, etc. And in each case we have given our own options of what we think ought to be done."

The 2012 NFL season is finally underway, and Twitter wants to give you some pointers on how to follow along.
In a Wednesday evening post on Twitter's official blog, sports and entertainment head Omid Ashtari introduced tweeters and football fans alike to the microblogging network's official "Get started" page for keeping up with the NFL. Ashtari's blog post recaps some notable tweets by NFL players this offseason, and offers a few tips for users.
The "Get started" page itself (screenshot above and link here) may strike seasoned tweeters as extremely basic, but it's a perfect primer for new Twitter users who also happen to be NFL fans. It explains how to search for topics of interest using key terms or hashtags, how to follow Tweeters for updates and information, and points out that users can simply observe — with no actual tweeting required. The page also includes links and follow buttons for each of the league's 32 teams.
It's a smart move, as Twitter looks to continue adding new members, and is the latest example of the company taking a more active role in how its users consume major events, especially in the sports world. Twitter partnered with NBC this summer for a London Olympics hub, and partnered with NASCAR in June for a similar hub in advance of the Pocono 400 race, which was later officially renamed the Pocono 400 presented by #NASCAR.
Twitter also created a social hub for the Euro 2012 soccer tournament independent of any official partnerships. All three hubs suggested top relevant follows, and used a combination of algorithms and human curation to present a stream of tweets from journalists, broadcasters, commentators, athletes and other notable users.
Would you like to see Twitter take a more active role in curating users' experience around major events? Or should it simply remain a social platform, and let users themselves determine the experience? Share your take in the comments.

Valentine's Day Weekend meets Carolina Mornings: Love Ensues
To us, Valentine's Day means laughter, love, fun, and of course – chocolate. Luckily, Asheville has all of those bases totally covered. French Broad Chocolate Lounge, now in its new and spacious location, offers up tantalizing cakes, cookies, truffles and beverages. Try the sipping chocolate – it is pure decadence.
Just around the corner from the Lounge is Asheville's amazing Fine Arts Theater. The age of romantic small theaters may be over in many a town, but in ours it is alive and thriving. Take your sweetie to see a classic film – it worked for your grandparents!
Continuing in this classically romantic theme, why not go out dancing after the show? Order a classic cocktail from the bar at Olive or Twist and let the night go where it will – Saturday evenings are usually graced by the presence of the Asheville Ball Room Dancers and an amazing string band. After impressing the apple of your eye with your dance moves, move it on over to the love seats by the fireplace – they positively drip classic romance.
The morning after Valentine's Day can be a missed opportunity for some. We spend so much time thinking about how to make the 14th special, we forget to plan for the following day. Well not this year, friends! With the help of Carolina Mornings, February 15th will rival its predecessor.
Imagine: You wake up on Sunday Morning in Sunset Haven. Outside, there is a touch of frost covering the landscape. The sun is just peeking over the mountain, draping soft pink light over the valley below. You have a well-stocked kitchen because you had the Carolina Mornings Concierge Department pick up all the essentials while you and your honey were enjoying a romantic afternoon stroll the day before. You put the coffee on, whip up a stack of pancakes, top it with some fresh fruit and a flower or two, and serve up a classic breakfast in bed.
Congratulations! You've won the award for the greatest Valentine ever.

Biography of Augusto Comte | French thinker, founder of positivism and sociology.
(Auguste Comte; Montpellier, 1798 – Paris, 1857) French thinker, founder of positivism and sociology. With the publication of its course of positive philosophy (1830-1842), Augusto Comte sponsored a new cultural movement that would be perceived as initiator and highest representative: the positivism. Such power would dominate almost all the 19th century controversy and sometimes in commitment to the antagonist trend, idealism. Like all the great spiritual movements, positivism not left easily pigeonhole labels of a strict and precise definition. In sense very lato, arguably is a revaluation of the naturalistic and scientific spirit against the tendencies declared and openly metaphysical and religious idealism.
Augusto Comte
Augusto Comte (detail of a)
Portrait of Louis Jules Etex)
Augusto Comte
Breaking with the monarchist and Catholic tradition of his family, Augusto Comte turned during the time of the restoration to agnosticism and revolutionary ideas. After a first closed and rebellious youth, he entered in 1814 at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, where, in contact with the exact sciences and engineering, he was attracted strongly, along with many classmates, towards that kind of "technical revolution" who was preaching the count of Saint-Simon.
Augusto Comte
Dissolved the Polytechnic by the reactionary Government of 1816, Comte, against the opinion of parents, remained in Paris to complete his studies self-taught, earning a livelihood with tutoring in mathematics, which during almost all of the rest of his life were his main source of income. From 1817 he joined Saint-Simon, for which worked Secretary until his break in 1824. That year a work of Comte (Plan of the scientific work necessary to reorganize society) was reproached by his master.
The reason for the discord was much deeper: Saint-Simon and Comte had shared for a long time the concept of a reorganization of human society through the direction of the positive Sciences, and together formed the plan to completely renew the culture to raise it to the level of such Sciences; but Saint-Simon wanted to pass scientific plans to the practical organization of the "priesthood" who would head the new company, while still the Comte considered not complete theoretical developments.
The publication of his account of that work earned him the friendship and appreciation of numerous historians, politicians and scientists (Guizot, A. von Humboldt, the Duke of Broglie), feeling stimulated Comté for his great work, the encyclopedia of the positive sciences which would then be the course of positive philosophy (1830-1842). Meanwhile, without the approval of his parents, he had joined in civil marriage with a young and cultured Lady of Paris, women of eminent qualities, intellectual, energetic and devoted to her husband, but perhaps not so tender and submissive as he would have liked. Precisely because of that time (1826-1827) your first access of madness; suffered Comte the parents had wanted out, but his wife knew how to hold it next to another with great energy and cure it.
Already spare, Comte concentrated their energies on the course of positive philosophy (1830-1842). Discovered under the influence of Saint-Simon the social problem, Comte devoted its efforts to devise a way to solve it, closing the crisis opened by the French Revolution and its consequences. He found the answer in science, toward which established a true worship: objective knowledge provided by science should be applied to the management of the political, economic and Social Affairs, surpassing the ideologies based on imagination, interests or feelings.
Augusto Comte (detail of a)
Portrait of Louis Jules Etex)
Against the freedom of thought, origin of moral anarchy which attributed to the revolution, was not religious dogma or the principles of the tradition, but «positive science"which, by sticking to the facts as they are, provided - according to him - the only point of support on which you could build a future of"order and progress". Contrary to the individualism and democracy, was confident in a world governed by knowledge, in which producers and bankers would exercise a kind of dictatorship.
Such ideas, Foundation of positivist thought, would be a great success in Western countries since the mid-19th century, providing a secular creed for the world of liberal capitalism and the triumphant industry. However, Comte lived a miserable life: overwork him produced psychiatric problems, a suicide attempt and the abandonment of his wife. His rebellion and its intransigence prevented him from entering the academic world.
At the time who wrote the course of positive philosophy, Augusto Comte founded with former comrades in the Escuela Politécnica Polytechnic Association, aimed at the spread of positivist ideas, and, despite huge achieved fame, not never achieved a solid official position; He came to teach at the Polytechnic since 1832, he failed to obtain in her chair, but was expelled in 1844.
This hectic life, the constant mental concentration, the worsening of relations with his wife, which ended with the separation (1842), and finally a new love senile and shared only fleetingly by Clotilde Devaux, provoked to 1845 a new mental crisis, whose effects can be seen in his later works, the system of positive policy (1851-1854) and the Catechism positivist (1852). The latter, which explained the Gospel of the new positivist religion of humanity, offers puzzling nuances in many respects and in their language.
To promote the new positivist spirit had also, founded in 1845, a kind of Cenacle in which friends and disciples gathered, but this harbinger of contemporary scientific philosophy had then lost all contact with the live science of his time, focused only on their subjective meditations. Only economic aid of some fans (such as Émile Littré or John Stuart Mill) saved her from misery. However, the best of his thinking, reflected in the famous course of positive philosophy (1830-1842), was intended to exert a great influence on the most different branches of knowledge (philosophy, medicine, history, sociology) and various (including the reactionary thought of Maurras) political currents.
Augusto Comte took the term positivism that had been his teacher, Saint-Simon, responsible for its coinage from the expression "positive science", which appeared in the 18th century. In the history of philosophy, refers with this word the current of thought initiated by Comte; Thus arose in France in the first half of the 19th century, soon it would develop in all Western countries during the remainder of the century.
But means the positivism as philosophy opposed to the idealism and, in particular, to the figure of Hegel (1770-1831), positivism and Hegelian idealism have points in common. Both currents are based on Kant (1724-1804), although they develop different aspects: idealism, Kant's idea of the creative activity of consciousness; positivism, the need for data and denial of metaphysical knowledge can overcome the scientist. As Kant, Comte believed unattainable object of metaphysics because human knowledge can not go beyond experience, and, like Hegel, deals with the conception of universal history as a unitary, evolutionary and rewarding process.
Despite the finding of such points of agreement, in the configuration of the philosophy of positivism also influenced other various currents away from the idealism: the English empiricism represented by John Locke (1632-1704) and David Hume (1711-1776), materialism as (denial of spiritual substances) and only recognition of the existence of bodily substances and the skepticism of 18th-century French.
Positivist philosophy
The purpose of showing that the trend that follows the philosophy is-induced of end up being absorbed by the science, Augusto Comte focused its study to the knowledge of the facts and of society, irrespective of any type of prepending any philosophical doctrine. Thus, convinced that the object of the science were undoubtedly progress and peace, traditional metaphysics (which described as speculative by recreation in insoluble polemics) was the target of his criticism, though not as a defense of a philosophical position or elaborate thesis, but as an inescapable conclusion: the end of metaphysics was the natural result of the maturity that humanity was reaching in its evolutionary process.
Positivism of Comte is a complex discourse that includes at least one theory about knowledge, an interpretation on the meaning of history and a political position in the society. As for the first thing, positivism asserts that, strictly speaking, knowledge is only verifiable data "facts" (i.e. of phenomena whose regularity can be contrasted to the mode, for example, a physical or chemical law) and that all knowledge, in addition to some (no doubt, exact) and systematic, it must be useful, i.e., must translate not into theories , but an increase in the capacity of control and technological intervention on the phenomena.
What characterizes the advent of a science is the passage of a theological explanation (the causes of the phenomena are attributed to deities), or well metaphysics (the causes of the phenomena are personified abstractions), to a positive explanation. A positive knowledge is knowledge that establishes a relationship between the facts and renounce the absolute explanation; It does not seek the essence or the causes of things but the laws that govern them. Positive science aspires to know only what is possible to know; It is an attitude of thinking that replaces the question "why?" with the question "how?".
Augusto Comte
Story-wise, Augusto Comte considered that humanity progresses towards general well-being and happiness putting scientific and technological development as an engine and goal of that process. It is the so-called law of the three States, according to which mankind had already gone through two stages, called himself Comte "theological" and "metaphysics".
In the theological stage, natural phenomena are explained by causes extrinsic to the nature and supernatural interventions (for example, gods or mythological beings); in the metaphysical stage, supernatural forces were replaced in the explanation with essences, causes or forces immanent nature but hidden, which could only be entrusted to abstract thinking (for example, the concept of gravity in Physics). The contemporary period corresponds, in his opinion, a third stage: the "scientific" or "positive". In the "positive" status eventually erased the vestiges of the previous stages, and the abstract and deductivista thinking will be replaced by experimental verification.
For that same reason, philosophy will become "positive", and your property will be that you will recognize that the true human knowledge is in the Sciences (already developed autonomously a math, physics, chemistry or biology); such philosophy, alien to any attempt to define essences, will address, on the other hand, the establishment of the facts and the laws that regulate them. In his later years, however, Comte established a subjective synthesis of his previous approach summarized in the concept of "religion of humanity", severely criticized by his disciple Émile Littré as a return to the theological spirit.
Finally, the positivism of Comte understands the social problems as organic disorders of the system and proposes as a solution reforms (executed by the power and strength, if necessary) that functionally integrate all members of society, to the whole of humanity. Comte considered that social progress is parallel to the development of the positive Sciences, warning an inversely proportional relationship between the degree of complexity and the scope of science. So, the first science would be math, applicable to all fields, but of reduced complexity. Then would come the physics, chemistry, etc., up to the more complex science of all and whose sole scope would be human society: sociology. The ultimate goal of Sociology would control the social system by establishing relations between its various phenomena in a positive and useful.
By ideas contained in the previous paragraph is considered to Augusto Comte, the founder of sociology. To Comte, the creation of an independent sociology is directed by the law of the evolution of the human spirit. To undertake the famous classification of Sciences, Comte lists six of them, classified in increasing order of complexity, from the more General to the more specific: mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and sociology.
But the latter still has to be created. Hence the constant theme of the thought of Augusto Comte: scientific progress is nothing if not culminates in a social science, and social science cannot be set if the sciences that precede it in the classification have not been developed sufficiently. Comte imagined this sociology still not constituted (by the enormous difficulty that entails explaining the complexity of the social behavior) as a "physical" customs"or"social Physics"that would uncover the laws of human associations and would make it possible to formulate a practical reform of society, regulating its ethical and political destiny.
Comte understands sociology as a science of human acts, and according to the already above, it is evident that human facts are inscribed in the history. Studying them from the point of view of its evolution is to study the social dynamics. This branch of Sociology is the law of the progress of mankind, i.e., the law of three States that constitutes the philosophy of the history of Comte, in which the political State is conditioned by the intellectual State and the beliefs of a time.
It should be pointed out however that, for Comte, the evolution of humanity is not broken: the passage from one State to another is advertised by signs, and always remain, in each State, vestiges of the condition precedent. So, the disorder of the minds that culminated in 1789 was preparing from the 14th century (decline of spiritual power). Organic once it expires as another prepares.
But progress leads to the order: all evolution ends in a State of equilibrium which is object of social statics (which is dedicated system of positive policy, while the course of positive philosophy aims at the social dynamics). What is the basis of the balance of a positive society? Providence (theological idea), not the positive discovery that every individual is only what is by reference to a vast whole, mankind. Starting from this issue, Augusto Comte built a theory of the State founded in the religion of humanity, a religion in which the Chief priests should be the sages and philosophers; such a religion, in the formulation of Comte, contained a number of elements less picturesque, and was rejected by many positivists.
Its influence
Positivism spread throughout Europe in life of Comte and after his death. It should be noted the heavy development of positivism in England, where its highest representative was John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). To cultivate the "positive philosophy", Mill adopted a psychological orientation, both undertaken research and the method used, in direct connection with the classic English empiricism. Author of works of morality, which joined with the English utilitarianism positivism, devoted much of his work to the scientific epistemology and other much logic.
More speculatively, but keen to progress as Comte, was the positivism of Herbert Spencer (1820-1903), convinced defender of evolutionism applied to social life Darwinian. Against the positivism of Comte, English positivism became with Spencer in the ideological expression paradigmatic of a social class, the bourgeoisie, and, as such, in a doctrine of individualistic, liberal and radical enemy of socialism.

Scientific Approaches to the Development of Economic Relations between Landowners and Mining Companies
Abstract: The ways of improvement of the economic relations between a mining and processing plant and a landowner have been justified, basing on their purposes about the reclamation and further use of land resources. The regularities of formation of economically feasible level of reclamation of the land, disturbed by quarries in correlation with the profit of an agricultural enterprise and loss of the plant, have been revealed. The methodological basis of management of the unprofitableness of the plant, based on the rational direction of the reclaimed lands use, has been introduced.
Abstract: The method of investment attraction evaluation for the implementation of mining equipment was substantiated. Discounted financial results were taking into account. Pros and cons of chosen method were analyzed. The practical results of the method for definite technical and technology conditions at the SC "Lvivvuhillia" were presented. Values of investment attractiveness taking account monthly costs were determined. The methodology which was worked out by UNIDO were used for conditions of mining equipment implementation for coal reserves exploration of extraction area of mine taking into account cash flow values at the different periods of project realization. It was definite that chosen methodology gave possibility to estimate projects investment attractiveness and could be used for similar projects at the other mining enterprises.
Abstract: The analysis of possible ways of increasing motivation and enterprises stimulation to labor conditions improvement is conducted. The mechanism of increasing motivation by means of changing the current legislation on labor protection is suggested.
Abstract: The trend of energy consumed growth all over the world demands to solve the problem of energy effectiveness of technological processes. Because of complexity of technological processes structure there is the main question to find a "worst link" in it. Effectiveness of technological process depends on type of process equipment and its links. There were formulated rules for choice most "weak" link of technological chain. Three strategic ways were learned for increasing of energy effectiveness: increasing productivity of the process equipment without increasing of its efficiency; increasing efficiency of the process equipment without increasing of its productivity; increasing both productivity and efficiency of the process equipment. Corresponding recommendations for growth of productivity or efficiency were given. There were proved that variation of average level of productivity of process equipment must be up to 50...60% and the variation of productivity relative to the average in duty cycle of process equipment operation must not be more than 10%.
Abstract: In the article methodical recommendations on the use of web analytics system in food industry enterprises, its structure and services are suggested.
Abstract: Causes were systematized and groups of factors influencing the efficiency of functioning and developing of small business enterprises were related. A mechanism of stabilization of economic growth for small business has been suggested which includes mechanisms of government and non-government support as well as an internal mechanism of managing small business entities and provides the interaction of all the elements of the system.
Abstract: Under the influence of the processes of intensification of relations among internal and external environment of companies the necessity of compliance to international standards is rising significantly. There is a growing need for a deep understanding of corporate relations, using of control mechanisms over the company, demands for its transparency, balance of stakeholders interests and rights. These processes determine the effectiveness of corporate security systems. Currently, the capacity to implement effective management of corporate security involves the development of a business approach that creates long-term shareholder value by combining use of opportunities and risk management that meet applying to international standards and practices. The concept of security is mainly designed for a long period of time. With the development of open market relations and strengthening of legal regulation of the market measures, the emphasis of security has been transferring to the sphere of economy. Security becomes an essential priority for any kind of business interaction. In order to find out where security problems currently stand in practice and within academia circles the relevant sources of information were analyzed. The result of formalization, generalization of best international management practices and expertise are defined in international standards. In the article the content of the application and features of standards relating to key aspects of corporate security at the national and international markets are considered.
Abstract: This article presents a possibility of system-based implementation of determining the cost of work in construction. Based on the principles of systemic and variable visibility a logistics mechanism of the use of systemic economic and mathematical models for determining the cost of work in construction is proposed. The proposed mechanism includes specific regulatory features, contractual proposals and specific features of construction projects. The abovementioned methodology is based on a systemic synthesis of economic feasibility and technological complexity of construction work.
Abstract: This article is devoted to analysis of foreign experience of renewal attractive tourist image for countries and regions after military-political conflicts. Several approaches to defining the image of a territory were considered. In analysis of foreign experience the research focuses on instruments of crisis management in countries such as Turkey, Egypt and Thailand as a part of territory's image-building that could use for restoring tourist image. Tourism is one of the main sources of income to the state budget in these countries. Also, all these countries have suffered from military-political conflicts that caused spontaneous formation of negative tourist image and a decline in tourist flow. We can observe a similar situation today in Ukraine. The research was briefly analyzed the negative consequences of the political crisis for Ukrainian tourism industry. In conclusion the basic directions to neutralize of negative tourist image of the territory are given. Also it was noted that without a deep analysis of the current tourist image, involvement of highly qualified specialists, investment and funds, close and trustful cooperation between public and private sectors to achieve the objectives for restoring the tourist image can become long-term and time-consuming process, that can adversely influence not only on the tourist activity in the country, but also on the whole economy.

The ancient greeks were known for their many gods and myths that were created as a way to explain the world. Around the time of the sixth century BCE, however, an emergence of the emphasis on rationality in Greek thinking occurred. This was brought on by the early philosophers, more commonly known as the "presocratics," because they lived before Socrates' time. These presocratics were the first group of people to form their own theories outside of the common religious ones that existed in ancient greek time. Their ideas on life and the essence of humanity were what caused them to "turn away from religious teachings, [and use] the power of human reason to try to discover how the world came into being…". It was not their answers that made them important, but instead, the questions and ideas they asked about humanity that made such an impact on human life, and continues to do so today.
The schools that existed in this era focused primarily on discussing these questions and sharing knowledge of "logic and theoretical reasoning to solve practical questions about the world and human existence." The questions they raised concerned: logic (the validity of arguments), ethics (morality), and aesthetics (arts and beauty). However, most importantly, they developed insight into epistemology (knowledge), and political philosophy. Mere acceptance of human existence was not enough for the ancient greeks, as seen through the stories or myths that they created in order to explain how things came to be and how we know the things we know. They believed there was something deeper, that there had to be some sort of order in life.
The presocratics that raised questions of epistemological nature were considered Rationalists, who believed that not everything we know comes from experience or our senses. On the other side were Empiricists, who believed that we have gained our knowledge strictly through experience and our senses. One of the other groups that have proven to have had among the most important philosophical ideas are the Monists, who believed the world is comprised of one basic "stuff", or "arché". Thales, one of the outstanding Monists, began the "Greek tradition of free discussion of ideas in the marketplace and other public areas," breaking the previous tradition of knowledge being available to the "elite" only.
A current event in our world today that is being greatly affected by these philosophical views is the revolt against Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and the resulting uproar of ethical and political issues in the rest of North Africa and the middle east. For nearly three weeks, the Egyptian people protested the government and demanded that Mubarak step down from his position as President. After thirty years of his rule, the civilians finally decided to act for what they really wanted. The early greek philosophical concept of epistemology directly influenced the emergence of democracy, which is what the people of Egypt were fighting for. Under epistemology falls the notion of knowledge, and this is essential to rational decision making. Democracy is a concept that truly requires a "free discussion of ideas", in the words of Thales. Epistemology is a necessary philosophic component in democracy, seeing as the theory of knowledge and rational decision making are among the key concepts behind democracy in itself.
Although the "free discussion of ideas" from early greek times is translated into violent outbreaks and protests in this situation, the same philosophy still applies here. The revolution in the middle east correlates to that of the philosophical revolution in early Greece because in both situations, the civilians and not just the "elite" are coming together to change the way things are, with hopes for a better society.
