Sudan tells United Nations its debts must be canceled

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Sudan told the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday that its debts must be canceled and its economy supported as it struggles to recover from losing three-quarters of its critical oil revenue to South Sudan when it seceded a year ago.

The International Monetary Fund this week urged Sudan to meet donors to discuss debt relief and some IMF board members called for "exceptional efforts" from the IMF and the global community to help Sudan reduce its debt of about $40 billion.

"Sudan requires assistance to go through this very sensitive stage towards better horizons. For that we believe that debts must be canceled and its economy supported," Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Karti said.

South Sudan seceded in July 2011. Leaders from both states finally reached a border security deal on Wednesday to restart badly needed oil exports, but failed to solve the other key conflicts left over from when they split.

The pair failed to settle the fate of at least five disputed oil-producing regions along the border. Tensions over the unmarked 1,200-mile (1930-km) common border spilled over into fighting in April, when South Sudan's army briefly occupied the Heglig oilfield, vital to Sudan's economy.

They were also unable to reach a solution for the border region of Abyei, which has symbolic significance to both and is rich in grazing lands. Plans for a referendum have failed over the question of who should participate.

"We have been determined to tackle the reasons for war and strife despite the strong economic and political pressures being brought to bear against my country and unfair sanctions imposed by the United States," Karti said.

Washington still maintains its 1997 embargo on the country over Sudan's role in hosting prominent Islamist militants. The sanctions restrict U.S. trade and investment with Sudan and block the assets of the Sudanese government.

The United States and other powers criticize Sudan for human rights violations and a harsh crackdown on rebels. Western powers also shun Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir who was indicted by the International Criminal Court over war crimes in Darfur, the site of a nearly decade-old insurgency.

30 years ago, the CD started the digital music revolution

15 hrs.

Devin Coldewey

The digital music revolution officially hit 30 years ago, on Oct. 1, 1982. While you may be surprised to learn?that the heralds of the coming age were, in fact, the Bee Gees, it probably comes as less of a shock to learn that Sony was at the very heart of it. After years of?research and an?intense period of?collaboration with Philips, Sony shipped the world's first CD player, the CDP-101. Music???and how we listen to it???would never be the same.

Today the CD player might be seen as something of a relic, since our smartphones, iPods and satellite radios provide seamless access to not only our entire music libraries, but to nearly every artist or track available. We can dictate any song or album to an app and have it playing in seconds, or download a new single by visiting an artist's Facebook page.

In such a world, the idea of carrying around a disc loaded with just 10 or 12 tracks and switching it out every hour sounds positively stone-age.?But the MP3 and streaming media are not just the CD's replacements, but its descendants. The future of music in fact made its unofficial debut, believe it or not, in the hands of the Bee Gees.

It was on the BBC show Tomorrow's World in 1981?that the Bee Gees publicly?demonstrated CD technology (and a new album, Living Eyes) for the first time. Artists were excited about the format ? the prospect of a high-quality, track-separated, non-degrading medium was enticing, though many were still skeptical of digital encoding. But music industry heavies like David Bowie and renowned conductor Herbert von Karajan were quick to embrace it, and soon the likes of Dire Straits would hit a million sales and cement the CD's position?as the new standard for music.

That triumph was a long time coming: development of the format began in the '70s, when both Sony and Philips were independently doing research on an digital,?optical disc format to replace cassette tapes and records. Early work at Sony was led by Norio Ohga, who bravely bore the skepticism of his comrades in order to create and demonstrate the earliest versions in 1976 and 1978.

Meanwhile, Philips was on the same track, so to speak. Their original version, an evolution of the laserdisc, was a whopping 20cm in diameter, but after reflection they brought the size of their prototype down to 11.5cm ? the same size, measured diagonally, as a cassette tape.

In 1979, the two companies decided to work together. They set up a task force of less than a dozen people ? engineers who didn't know if they could trust each other. After breaking the ice, however, the team worked for a year and?managed to arrive at a set of standards, called the "Red Book." The manufacturing process and method of encoding were contributed by Philips, while Sony created the digital error-correction that made reading the data reliable.

The new technology was privately inaugurated in 1980, and the first modern CD pressed was Richard Strauss's "Alpine Symphony." The next year, the Bee Gees went on the BBC, and the year after that the CD as we know it today was born.

That October of 1982, the CDP-101 made its debut in Japan alongside the first run of CD albums, led by Billy Joel's 52nd Street. The device was expensive: ?168,000, ?about $730 at the time, or almost twice that when adjusted for inflation. But home audio wasn't cheap then, and there was a market eager to snap up the new, high-fidelity audio format.

The engineers behind it?had really had a task: everything about the system was brand new. As Jacques Heemskerk, one of the senior Philips engineers on the project, told the BBC in 2007:

It was revolutionary in many fields???the optics were new, the disc was new. At the start of development there wasn't even a laser that would work well enough for our needs.?The most advanced laser at the time had a lifespan of only 100 hours.

So the cost was justified by the complexity and novelty of the hardware. Other manufacturers, like Toshiba, Kenwood, and of course Philips, would produce variant CD players over the course of the next year.?

The first CDs to market, with the notable exception of Billy Joel, were mostly classical. In fact, the capacity of the CD was raised during development from 60 to 74 minutes in order to accommodate Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The creators of the format knew that classical music lovers were more likely to appreciate (and more likely?to pay for) the increased quality of the CD system.?

The pop and rock market, however, was still in love with cassettes, which were more portable and more ubiquitous than ever. 1979 had brought the first Walkman, and cassette players were now standard equipment in car radios. The CD was, for the moment, strictly for the home, where your nice speakers and amp would make the improved fidelity sing. Even there, to this day, some audiophiles swear by vinyl records and an all-analog setup.

It wasn't until later in the '80s that things really took off. Dire Straits'?Brothers In Arms?sold a million CDs in 1985, suggesting that the format had finally hit its stride. It wasn't long before other artists were selling millions upon millions of their albums in CD format. The Discman, introduced in 1984, and the CD-ROM format, enabling computers to read the discs, further accelerated uptake.

The rest, as they say, is history. Since that time, hundreds of billions of CDs have been shipped and sold ? the numbers are near-impossible to track, since the easily duplicated?digital data led to an enormous increase in piracy and counterfeiting, not to mention the billions of copies and mix-CDs made by normal users.

Music CDs?peaked in 2000 with global sales estimated?at around 2.5 ?billion. Soon (legal) digital downloads began to replace physical media for many music buyers. Though its numbers are on the decline,?CDs are still produced today on the order of hundreds of millions, and it will be many years yet before the world's CD factories shut their doors.

The size and shape of the CD, as well as its capacity, portability, and versatility, have been a major factor in how music has been developed and consumed for decades. Albums were written to fill it, new formats like the DVD were made in imitation of it, and entire new trends in media resulted from it. The Compact Disc started the digital revolution for music in the '70s, and we're still feeling the effects.

PROVO, Utah (AP) ? Hawaii coach Norm Chow joked a few days ago that Provo would bring back some fond memories.

Friday night instead was a nightmare, one the former BYU assistant couldn't wait to escape as evidenced by a noticeably brief postgame handshake with Cougars coach Bronco Mendenhall after being shut out 47-0.

"We've got to grow up," said the 66-year-old Chow, who watched as two defensive linemen were carted off early and also lost two offensive linemen to injury. "This is a big-boy business; nobody is feeling sorry for us. We can't feel sorry for ourselves."

It didn't help that a couple of freshmen backups ? quarterback Taysom Hill and 17-year-old running back Jamaal Williams ? did most of the damage as BYU (3-2) racked up 396 yards rushing.

"We came out and started fast," said Hill, making his first college start in place of injured senior Riley Nelson. "It was the first time we scored on the first drive, which was phenomenal. And to come out and win the way we did was great."

Hill ran for 143 yards, including a 68-yard TD scamper out of the no-huddle offense.

"On the sideline I've been asking for that play," said Hill, who also passed for 112 yards and two TDs. "They were gassed and when we could go no-huddle and run something like that, it works pretty well. My line got to their backers and their safeties split. It became a foot race, and luckily I outran them."

The Cougars led 20-0 at halftime and 40-0 through three quarters.

The shutout was BYU's first since Nov. 7, 2009, when it beat Wyoming 52-0.

Hawaii (1-3) had not been shut out since Oct. 3, 1998, a span of 182 straight game. The 47-point margin of defeat was the largest since a 70-14 loss at Fresno State in 2004 ? another reason social media sites lit into first-year head coach Chow afterward.

In three losses, Hawaii has been outscored 165-34. Its only win this year came against unheralded Lamar.

Against Nevada last week, running back Stefphon Jefferson scored seven TDs.

Friday, BYU split up the wealth, with rugby player Paul Lasike adding a pair of late TDs in mop-up duty.

Williams was the one who stepped up early when starter Michael Alisa broke his right forearm.

"It felt pretty good, to be 17 and to have them trust me like that," said Williams, who gained 155 yards on 15 carries, with two TDs.

"I'm learning to mature faster."

So is Hill, who is a returned missionary and not the average freshman.

Hill finished 12 of 21 for 112 yards, with TD passes of 22 and 12 yards. His rushing totals were the most by a BYU quarterback since Brandon Doman ? the Cougars' offensive coordinator ? gained 164 yards on 18 carries in 2001.

Despite Hill's solid showing, Mendenhall insisted Nelson would remain his starter when healthy and capable.

For now, Mendenhall said Nelson's injured back needs rest to heal and couldn't say how long that would take.

"I am a Riley Nelson fan and believe in his leadership ability when he is healthy," Mendenhall said.

Hill, meanwhile, wasn't about to get caught up in any quarterback controversy but was preparing as if he'd start next week against Utah State.

Chow, who was back in Provo for the first time as a head coach, was simply trying to regroup ? especially after seeing defensive tackles Geardon Hanohano and starter Siasau Matagiese carted off the field following apparent helmet-to-helmet collisions on back-to-back series during the first quarter.

Team officials said initial X rays to the neck area were negative and both had movement in their limbs.

Both players flashed the "shaka" ? the Hawaiian sign for hang loose ? as they were being carted off the field.

That was about the only good sign for Hawaii fans, who watched on national television as BYU outgained the Warriors 540-149, and held a 30-9 advantage in first downs and a 396-41 edge in rushing.

Still, BYU defensive back Preston Hadley was not about to get overconfident.

"I do not think we should walk off just patting ourselves on the back," he said. "That is not the best team we played. But it is a confidence booster to hopefully get us in the right direction."

Chow has a ways to go for that to happen.

Chow spent 27 years at BYU (1973-1999), from graduate assistant to offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, and helped the team win a national championship in 1984. But the first-year Hawaii coach stirred things up in July when he reiterated the university's position that a returning missionary, defensive back/return specialist Michael Wadsworth, could transfer to any school except BYU and intimated the Cougars engaged in unfair recruiting.

Mendenhall denied the charges, and let his team handle things on the field.

"Our team took some steps forward today, certainly with an emphasis on running the football," he said.

Speaking at the?at the BAFTA Screenwriters' Lecture series on Wednesday, September 26th, "Downton Abbey" creator and writer Julian Fellowes told the crowd that he has plans in mind for a prequel to his hit period drama, one that would explore the early days in the relationship between?Robert, Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) and his eventual wife Cora (Elizabeth McGovern). As reported by the BBC, Fellowes felt the story had potential because it wasn't the smoothest of starts. <p> I do actually have an idea of doing a prequel of the courtship of Robert and Cora, when all those American heiresses were arriving in London. They had a slightly troubled courtship, because she was in love with him before they married, as we know, and he married her entirely for her money... I sort of feel there's something quite nice in there because he's a decent cove, and so he feels rather guilty about this which has affected their marriage beyond that.</p> <p> While Fellowes spoke about the potential project as a book, it seems likely that it would also yield a screen adaptation, given the phenomenon that?"Downton Abbey" has become. An early series would take the setting back to the 1800s, and would involve new actors in the roles of young Robert and Cora.

I love watching the two of them together. The other day my daughter looked at me and said, ?You know all those times you were worried about me mom and I didn?t understand why? I understand now.?</p> <p>And there will be more moments of clarity like that, I?m sure.</p> <p>I think back over the years and remember her when she was three.? She had long dark hair and she was wearing a white night gown. It was summer and the fireflies were out and she wanted to chase them. I sat on the back porch and watched her catching bugs and I swear I remember thinking I wish I could freeze this moment forever.</p> <p>Then she was eight years old and so excited to meet her new twin brothers. She changed their diapers and fed bottles and even managed to get thrown up on once or twice.? It was a glimpse through a window of time. I knew she would be a great mother and she is.</p> <p>My daughter?s? next stage was ?I want it my way,? and when she didn?t get it her way?she ran away. She wasn?t allowed to go past the two trees at the end of the driveway and the one time she did, I almost had a heart attack. When I found her across the road hiding behind the church I cried. There?s no scared like the scared you get when you can?t find your child and that?s one of many things I hope she never has to experience as a mom.</p> <p><strong>Motherhood Means Giving Your Heart Away</strong></p> <p>Kennedy,? her daughter is only six months old and already she?s learning that being a mom is harder than she ever dreamed it would be. My daughter is an organizer and every night she lays out Kennedy?s clothes for the next day. She gets all the bottles ready and makes sure I have everything I need to care for Kennedy the next day. Right now Kennedy?s environment is limited but as she gets older more variables come into play and my daughter will find she can control less and less. You give this little tiny person your heart and you want to do everything in your power to keep them healthy, happy and safe and the reality is that we can only do so much. God is in control, not us.</p> <p>I remember praying when my children were very young that I wouldn?t mess up. ?Please, God,? I begged. ?I only get one shot at this. Please help me do it right.?</p> <p>That wasn?t a very smart prayer, was it? As much as I wanted to be a ?perfect mom? there was no way I could. A smarter prayer would have been, ?Lord help me to see when I have made a mistake and give me the strength not to repeat it.?</p> <p>When I failed (lost my temper or had a crying fit) it was usually because I let myself stress over silly unimportant things or I failed to get enough rest. Or when I took my eyes off my main goal, which was to raise Christian children in a Godly home, and focused on temporary things like the house being a mess or having enough dirty laundry to sink a battle ship.</p> <p><strong>A Woman?s World</strong></p> <p>I remember reading a newspaper column called ?Take your daughter to work,? It was written by a woman who took her young daughter to the office with her to show her what mommy did at the office. At the end of the article it said something like this, ?You can take your daughter to work to see what a career is like, but then take her home and show her what you do there too because more than likely she will have to straddle both worlds.?</p> <p>That visual image of having one foot in the work place and another at home stuck with me. It?s incredibly hard for mothers to balance our lives when we are living in such a fast paced world.</p> <p>My daughter is an awesome mother and I am so proud of her that even as I write this my eyes cloud up with tears. I want her motherhood years to be smooth ones but as sure as I know that the grass is green and the sky is blue, I know she will hit some bumps in the road.</p> <p>And so, dear daughter, straddle your work world and your home world with as much grace and balance as you can but remember, all of us fall short of perfection.</p> <p>Motherhood is a glorious, complicated journey. Sometimes you may find that even when you do your very best you fall short. Trust in God and always seek His guidance!? I love you Rachel. Enjoy your journey!</p> <p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9459" height="448" src="http://nanahood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/rachel-and-Kennedy.jpg" title="rachel and Kennedy" width="334" /></p> <!--<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://nanahood.com/the-motherhood-journey" dc:identifier="http://nanahood.com/the-motherhood-journey" dc:title="The Motherhood Journey" trackback:ping="http://nanahood.com/the-motherhood-journey/trackback" /> </rdf:RDF>--><p>Source: <a href="http://nanahood.com/the-motherhood-journey">http://nanahood.com/the-motherhood-journey</a></p><p><a href="http://m4www.radabg.com/url/ferienwohnung-berlin-lankwitz.de/">michigan football</a> <a href="http://malaycarmanualpdfs.com/members/profile/224/GildaRtf">michigan football</a> <a href="http://mariamabbas.com/guestbook/">askew</a> <a href="http://mazaylo.com/index.php?do=/blog/1772/information-and-facts-to-install-house-windows-7-on-an-excellent-ssd/">blue moon</a> <a href="http://mazaylo.com/index.php?do=/profile-2109/info/">eddie murphy</a> <a href="http://mclinked.com/index.php?do=/blog/7527/tactics-to-install-homes-windows-7-on-an-incredible-ssd/">ann romney</a> <a href="http://mediawiki.demos.innovaos.com/index.php?title=User:Kevin78">marco rubio</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285045903572102917' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285045903572102917' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>feltenbette70</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-motherhood-journey.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-motherhood-journey.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-09-28T20:02:00-07:00'>8:02 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-motherhood-journey.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1707068187'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=9158048302302380304&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=9158048302302380304&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=9158048302302380304&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

That expertise is found in its latest desktop virtualization offering, VMware Fusion 5?, now optimized for Mountain Lion. VMware Fusion provides an excellent way to run virtual operating systems on physical (host) machines. The latest version provides a rich, good-performing way to run a virtual instance of Windows 8 on OS X. While VMware's interface is not the dazzling eye-candy of Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac??(although both products support Retina displays) and is not as user-friendly as Parallels; its advanced settings and better performance makes it a solid desktop virtualization utility for power users and business.</p> <p><strong>Availability and Install</strong><br />VMware Fusion 5 costs $49.99 but is also available as a free 30-day trial download . To run on a Mac (which is what I tested) it requires any 64-bit capable Intel Mac with 4GB RAM, at least 750MB of free disk space, and at least 5GB for each virtual machine (VM). <br />As mentioned, although Parallels has a setup process likely to appeal to those not used to working with virtualization, VMware's Easy Install wizard makes installation fairly simple, and even average computer users shouldn't have too much trouble with setup. Creating a virtual Windows 8 machine was a bit faster using VMware, and it took a little less than 20 minutes.</p> <p>VMware's setup process and instructions are heavier on virtualization lingo. For example, VMware stores newly created VMs in a Virtual Machine library. Users can add new VMs and folders to this library as part of installation. Other setup possibilities include creating a new Boot Camp configuration, migrating an existing Windows PC to run as a VM on a Mac, or importing a VM.</p> <p>VMware appeals to power virtualization users because not only can you add a new VM or use an existing one, but you can also create custom VMs.</p> <ziffshop id="37706" readability="9"><p>While creating a Windows 8 VM on a Mac using VMware isn't terribly difficult, it does offer more customization options than Parallels, which will appeal to more advanced users These advanced features make VMware similar in feature-set to another desktop virtualization solution, VirtualBox. When compared with Parallels, VMware is also more suitable for business environments.</p> </ziffshop></span><p>Source: <a

you are a happy investor. ?We can learn a lot about investing looking at Apple. ?We can learn plenty about Wall Street at the same time.<p>Apple was just about $100 in 2009 and has been $700 recently. ?Wow. ?Nice win. ?Pretty much every mutual fund owns it and certainly most every hedge fund has owned it at some time and if it continues higher, they will all own it at the end of the year to make themselves look good on paper.</p><p>Lesson One - good stocks continue to go higher, looking at a chart, its pretty much a 45' angle with some pullbacks.</p><p>Lesson Two - even super great well performing stocks have significant pullbacks which is usually when supposed long term investors sell (and later wish they hadn't).</p><p>Lesson Three - eventually all growth companies and their stocks become too large to grow at the fantastic levels of the recent past and level out, Intel is a wonderful example, Microsoft too. </p><p>Lesson Four - you probably don't own it because if you did, your stockbroker or financial advisor probably sold it just as quickly because of commissions.</p><p>Lesson Five - Wall Street will get it wrong again. ?Over forty brokerage firms cover Apple and only one has a hold rating, no sells and plenty of buys and strong buys. ?REALLY? ?It is?reminiscent?of the tech bubble when almost no analysts would dare tell investors to sell anything. </p><p>Source: <a

more than a president. You'll be casting a ballot for and against a checklist of policies that touch your life and shape the country you live in.</p><p>It can be hard to see, through the fog of negative ads, sound bite zingers and assorted other campaign nasties, that the election is a contest of actual ideas. But it is always so. A candidate's words connect to deeds in office.</p><p>Roll back to 2008. Obama was the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1348722369_2">presidential candidate</span> who promised to get the country on a path to health insurance for all. He delivered. If you haven't noticed one way or another, you soon will.</p><p>And back to 2000. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1348722369_3">George W. Bush</span> ran on a platform of big tax cuts. That's precisely what the country got. A decade later, taxes are lower than they otherwise would have been.</p><p>That's not to say you can count on Romney's checklist or Obama's to come into full being. You sure can't.</p><p>By nature and necessity, the presidency is in large part a creature of compromise and improvisation. The unforeseen happens (the terrorist attacks), or circumstances change (the December 2007-June 2009 recession), or things that the candidate sets out to do run into a buzz saw in Congress (way too many examples to mention). That's why promises are broken, priorities shift and intentions get swept away by the fistful.</p><p>Even so, you get what you vote for, probably about as often as not. And a lot of what you get, you will feel in a personal way, for better or worse, no matter how distant Washington seems from your world.</p><p>The wars called away people in your orbit, if not in your family. The spending that each candidate wants to do ? Romney vows military expansion, Obama would put more into education, for starters ? is bound to benefit many livelihoods in some fashion, at the risk of even deeper national debt. And read their fine print: Medicare won't be the same in the years ahead. Perhaps not Social Security, either. (There's that national debt, after all.)</p><p>Across the spectrum of issues, Obama and Romney have drawn contrasts and telegraphed divergent ways for the nation to go.</p><p>You can't believe everything you hear. But you can believe enough to know that Tuesday, Nov. 6, is a true day of decision.</p><p>In this series, Associated Press writers who cover subjects at stake in the election look at the positions of the candidates, the underlying issues ? and why it matters.</p><p>EDITOR'S NOTE _ An introduction to The Associated Press' "Why It Matters" series, which explores top issues confronting the nation in this presidential campaign season and their impact on Americans.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/words-deeds-why-election-matters-182002929--election.html">http://news.yahoo.com/words-deeds-why-election-matters-182002929--election.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.webstatsdomain.com/domains/info.edus.si/">thursday night football</a> <a href="http://www.weekendtinkers.net/LashondaUg">At&t Wireless</a> <a href="http://www.werbedealer.de/user/484-ashlizei">apple</a> <a href="http://www.werbedealer.de/user/719-devonk">apple</a> <a href="http://www.whistlepigfarmsgoats.org/Guestbook.php">9/11</a> <a href="http://www.whoisdomain.net/cubeworldwiki.net">Jerry Lawler</a> <a href="http://www.whoisdomain.net/deqiqe.com">andy murray</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285045903572102917' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285045903572102917' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>feltenbette70</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/from-words-to-deeds-why-election-matters.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/from-words-to-deeds-why-election-matters.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-09-27T19:42:00-07:00'>7:42 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/from-words-to-deeds-why-election-matters.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1707068187'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=7828462933935753251&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=7828462933935753251&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=7828462933935753251&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

He teaches creative writing, and has written two poetry books, ?Man on Extremely Small Island? and ?America?s Favorite Poem.? Here are some snippets of our conversation.</p> <p><strong>Let?s start with a brief introduction of yourself.</strong></p> <p>I was hired as an assistant professor of English specifically to teach creative writing. My particular specialty in creative writing is poetry. They are starting a new creative writing concentration here, [and] they have a fiction professor already, so they hired me to kind of fill out the concentration and develop it over the next few years, which I am excited about.</p> <p><strong>How does being a professor affect your poetry, and does this job make it harder?</strong></p> <p>Well, I would say yes and no. I would say teaching in college, being a full-time professor, is really good for a poet, any creative writer really, but especially a poet, because you have a lot of time to yourself that you wouldn?t otherwise have if you had to work an everyday job all year round. The summer especially is a good time for me to write.<br /><strong><br />So it?s easy to assume your writing was driven by a passion for literature and poetry. What inspired you to become a professor?</strong></p> <p>I went to my Master in Fine Arts program, the first step to becoming a poet, which is a really weird thing when you?re that young, because all you really have is the passion as you mentioned, and you feel like you want to do this thing, but you really have no practical idea of how you?re going to make it possible. So, you end up going to graduate school because you know it makes the most sense.</p> <p>I think I matured and I started to realize that, you know, teaching is a great job to have, because you get paid to talk about what you?re passionate about. And I still think that my identity as a poet, or even my style as a poet, is sort of similar to my teaching persona. My poetry is very conversational; it?s very voiced. It uses a lot of humor, but is also serious, and I think I take the same kind of stylistic approach in my teaching.</p> <p><strong>What were you doing before you came here?</strong></p> <p>I was teaching at the Lehman College in the city at the University of New York. It?s in the Bronx. I was doing that for three years, and I was also directing the graduate program. I was actually getting a lot of curricular building experience and administrative experience which I think helped me get this job because that?s another thing that I?m doing here.<br /><strong><br />How are you feeling about your classes so far and the students here?</strong></p> <p>I?m feeling really good. What I really appreciate about Quinnipiac is that the students are always more prepared. [Here] the students have been very bright. I?ve been impressed with their writing and the quality of their discussions. It?s been low-stress in that way.</p> <p><strong>Anything you want to say to the Quinnipiac community?</strong></p> <p>I?ll just reiterate how grateful I am that I?m here, that I was offered this job. I feel like the students are really bright, and it?s a great time to be here. The whole school I think is gaining an identity, and it?s kind of discovering what it is and what it?s going to be. Especially for my specific field it?s exciting because creative writing is growing and I just feel like in five years this place in some ways is going to look totally different. </p> <!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetBottom Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetBottom Automatic --><!-- Facebook Comments for WordPress: http://pleer.co.uk/wordpress/plugins/facebook-comments/ --><p>Source: <a href="http://www.quchronicle.com/2012/09/inside-the-mind-of-a-new-professor/">http://www.quchronicle.com/2012/09/inside-the-mind-of-a-new-professor/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.seostats.it/experts.mynewbff.net">consumer financial protection bureau</a> <a href="http://www.seostats.it/mak93.de">casey anthony video</a> <a href="http://www.seostats.it/mmaforums.com">recess appointment</a> <a href="http://www.seostats.it/modocreativo.com">eastman kodak</a> <a href="http://www.seostats.it/mylifemoon.com">eastman kodak</a> <a href="http://www.seostats.it/optisor.com">richard cordray</a> <a href="http://www.seostats.it/sinhvienluat.vn">shannon de lima</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285045903572102917' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285045903572102917' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>feltenbette70</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/inside-mind-of-new-professor-quinnipiac.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/inside-mind-of-new-professor-quinnipiac.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-09-27T17:50:00-07:00'>5:50 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://issy-litany.blogspot.com/2012/09/inside-mind-of-new-professor-quinnipiac.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1707068187'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=6111669531265450818&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=6111669531265450818&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2232359781727778054&postID=6111669531265450818&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Both companies issued denials.</p> <p> Europe's biggest defence deal in a decade faces several hurdles including how to ringfence top-secret projects and how to satisfy governments keen to safeguard EADS operations in France and Germany.</p> <p> With an October 10 deadline to decide whether the talks proceed, EADS Chief Executive Tom Enders, one of the merger's main architects, faces the German parliament on Wednesday to put forward his case.</p> <p> Yet two sources familiar with the transaction told Reuters that the deal, which the firms acknowledged publicly on Sept 12, already faced differences on how the two would be valued.</p> <p> They said EADS and BAE were discussing valuing EADS at more than the 60 percent originally announced, pushing the ratio to potentially 63:37 or even 65:35.</p> <p> "The ratio could be changed up to 3 percentage points in favour of EADS," one EADS adviser told Reuters.</p> <p> EADS and BAE issued a denial: "The joint announcement published on 12 September outlining the 60-40 shareholder split is the only valid statement on this subject".</p> <p> It said "any speculation suggesting a different ratio is inaccurate".</p> <p> Some investors have argued the proposed ratio is weighted too heavily in favour of BAE, which is heavily exposed to shrinking national defence budgets.</p> <p> BAE is Europe's largest defence company and a top 10 supplier to the United States, by far the largest defence market.</p> <p> GERMAN GOVERNMENT EYES 70:30</p> <p> Germany's Daimler, which was in talks to sell a 7.5 percent stake in EADS to Germany's state bank KfW, is one investor unhappy with the terms.</p> <p> The German government on Monday set out a list of reservations about the deal, saying a 70:30 ratio would be a more accurate valuation, yet other sources familiar with the talks said BAE would likely oppose such changes.</p> <p> "Changing the 60/40 split is just not on the table at all," said a banker working on the deal, who declined to be named.</p> <p> Rationale for the merger includes striking a balance between civil and military revenues, with Airbus airliners on one side, and on the other BAE's defence work, which ranges from nuclear submarines to armoured personnel carriers.</p> <p> Yet the deal is fraught with national economic and security concerns. A mooted merger between operations on the two sides more than a decade ago collapsed.</p> <p> The French government holds a direct stake in EADS and is concerned that the deal would dilute its influence, while Germany wants to keep jobs in the country.</p> <p> German Chancellor Angela Merkel met French President Francois Hollande to discuss the plans at the weekend, but they failed to come up with any joint decisions.</p> <p> EADS shares were up 0.64 percent at 25.16 euros at 1355 GMT, while BAE was off 1.4 percent at 329.90 pence.</p> <p> BAE is up fractionally since news of the merger talks emerged earlier this month while the market value of EADS has fallen by more than 3.8 billion euros ($4.91 billion).</p> <p> (Reporting by Arno Schuetze;

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, concerned that women who quit smoking during their pregnancies often resume smoking after they deliver their baby, tested self-help interventions designed to prevent postpartum smoking relapse.</p> <p>"We'd first like to see more women quit smoking when they become pregnant," said Thomas H. Brandon, Ph.D., senior member at Moffitt and chair of the Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior. "However, even among those who do quit, the majority return to smoking shortly after they give birth."</p> <p>According to the researchers, nearly 50 percent of pregnant women who smoke quit during their pregnancies, but relapse rates are estimated at between 50 and 80 percent. Not only is this resumption of smoking harmful for the new mothers, but their babies could also be exposed to dangerous environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).</p> <p>"More and more women are aware that it is in the best interest of their child to give up alcohol and cigarettes while pregnant," said Dr. Brandon, the study's senior author. "But, unfortunately, they don't realize that exposing their infant to ETS can be equally as harmful."</p> <p>Infants exposed to ETS are more likely to suffer from respiratory, die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), get middle ear infections, have lower IQ's and more behavioral problems, and to become smokers themselves later in life. Also, a mother who returns to smoking loses the progress she's made to improve her health and life expectancy.</p> <p>In an effort to find better ways to prevent smoking relapse in new mothers, the researchers recruited 504 women from around the United States. All were in their fourth to eighth month of pregnancy and had already quit smoking. Half of the women were mailed two existing "usual care" self-help guides about quitting smoking and the dangers of ETS on newborns. The other half were sent a series of ten booklets developed at Moffitt, titled "Forever Free for Baby and Me." These booklets provided more detailed information about how to stay off cigarettes during and after pregnancy. Additional support information for the mom-to-be's partner was also included the series.</p> <p>By eight months after they gave birth, 70 percent of the women who received the "Forever Free" series reported that they remained off cigarettes, compared to 59 percent of those who received the "usual care" booklets.</p> <p>The researchers reported that the treatment effect depended upon the women's household income and age. For example, among lower income women earning less than $30,000 per year who received the "Forever Free" intervention, 72 percent were not smoking a year after giving birth, compared to 51 percent for women who received "usual care." In contrast, women with higher incomes received no additional benefit from the "Forever Free" booklets. The effect of age was similar to income, with younger women showing greater benefit from the "Forever Free" booklets.</p> <p>"Our booklets were designed to be accessible to a diverse population with respect to content, reading level and graphic design," said co-author Vani Nath Simmons, Ph.D, an assistant member at Moffitt. "We think that they provided novel information and assistance to these women--information that may have already been available to older and higher-income women."</p> <p>The researchers concluded that "Forever Free for Baby and Me," "a minimal, inexpensive, self-help intervention" has the potential to reach and help pregnant women and new mothers -- a particularly challenging subpopulation of smokers.</p> <p>The study was published online in the <em>American Journal of Public Health</em>.</p> <p><em>Share this story on <strong>Facebook</strong>, <strong>Twitter</strong>, and <strong>Google</strong>:</em></p> <p><em>Other social bookmarking and sharing tools:</em></p> <hr /><p><strong>Story Source:</strong></p> <blockquote readability="7.62244897959"><p>The above story is reprinted from materials provided by <strong><span id="source">Moffitt Cancer Center</span></strong>. </p> <p><em>Note: Materials may be edited for content and length.

The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray trailer appears, confirms December 3rd release date

Good for over $1 billion at the box office, Christopher Nolan's third Batman movie is probably this year's most anticipated home video release (The Avengers next week may have something to say about that) and now Warner Bros. has given us a trailer for The Dark Knight Rises on Blu-ray. Previous movies in the series have always delivered on Blu-ray, as well as his other recent hit, Inception. Unfortunately the video maxes out at 480p, but we don't need any additional resolution to see the release date listed for both disc and digital download is December 3rd. Rumors have flown about different releases dates and possible extras like a director's cut, but recently sources have indicated no such extended offering is in the works. Whether you think the flick was long enough (or even too long), you can press play to check out the clip embedded after the break...and clear the first Monday in December on your calendar for a trilogy viewing marathon.

Visualized: 50 shades of Nexus, by ASUS

ASUS is never shy at showing off its creative side. At Taiwan Designers' Week last Sunday, we spotted the company's above art installation dubbed "Palette": a mesmerizing circle of 50 overlapping Nexus 7 back covers, each in its very own shade of color. Interestingly, all of these were actually used in the development process of Google's Nexus 7, which just goes to show the kind of mad dedication ASUS had put into the joint project.

But wait, there's more! To match the event's "Flow" theme this year, ASUS decided to also show off parts of the design process that determined the final appearance of its other hero products -- hence the title "Becoming" for the booth's own theme. For instance, much like what the company's lovely Michelle Hsiao showed us on the Engadget Show, the booth again featured a handful of tablet chassis parts and dummies (mainly of PadFone, Zenbook, Transformer Prime and a 7-inch device) at different stages of their development, complemented by a generous selection of colors and finishes. Only this time the designers used some of them to create gradient wall art that we wouldn't mind having at home. Check them out after the break.
