Media Matters to Spend $100k Targeting Rush Limbaugh
Media Matters to Spend $100k Targeting Rush Limbaugh
Media Matters, the liberal watchdog group partially funded by billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros, says it will spend at least $100,000 to run ads in eight cities against conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
The group says its goal is to highlight Limbaugh calling Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" after she made an informal appearance before a group of Democratic lawmakers in defense of President Obama's contraceptive mandate.
Fluke lobbied on behalf of Obama's mandate for employers and their insurance companies to provide contraception and early abortion pills to women free of charge.
The ads are seemingly designed to force Limbaugh off the air by targeting his advertisers. One of the ads urges listeners to tell stations that carry Limbaugh's program that "we don't talk to women like that," according to The Associated Press.
David Brock, president of Media Matters and the author of The Fox Effect, has apparently made attacking Limbaugh and his advertisers a high priority.
"At Media Matters for America, we have monitored 'The Rush Limbaugh Show' every day since our founding in 2004," wrote Brock in a March 20 op-ed in Politico. "There is no example we can recall in which Limbaugh, or any other media figure, levied attacks of the tone and duration of those levied against Fluke."
However, Brent Bozell of Media Research Group has challenged Media Matters and others by arguing that liberal groups do not hold entertainers such as Bill Maher to the same standard when he referred to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by derogatory words.
Interestingly, Maher has called upon liberals to accept Limbaugh's apology, saying it makes them look bad by not doing so.
On his Wednesday radio show, Limbaugh fired back at the group's efforts to silence him. "Media Matters and the Democrat National Committee and the Democrat Party are exposing themselves," Limbaugh said. "This is an unintended consequence. They're exposing that their Astroturf campaigns are not grassroots at all.... They are totally professionally created and executed Democrat Party opposition research-type attacks. And they have nothing to do with consumers."
Nevertheless, Brock defended the attacks on Limbaugh.
"We are not a government entity attempting to stifle Limbaugh's speech. Instead, we are using our right of free assembly to join together and raise our voices against Limbaugh. We are, in fact, engaging in the marketplace of ideas, one in which people, examining all of the facts, can choose whether it is in their financial interest to support hate radio," he said.

Performance Tuning a Suzuki
Performance Tuning a Suzuki FA50 or FZ50.
Q-How fast should my Suzuki go?
- A-Stock the FA50 should reach 28-30mph. Stock the FZ50 should reach 30-34mph A correctly adjusted carburetor and Muffler cleaning are the two most important factors in reaching the stock speeds.
Q-Why won't my Suzuki start or idle well?
- A-Common problems are idle speed and mixture adjustments, clogged idle jet, and rusted fuel bowl floats.
Q-How do I make my Suzuki faster?
- A-It's important to start with a bike that at reaches the stock speeds. If you can't reach near these speeds something is wrong and all future adjustments will be off. Tuning a FA50 to hit 28 mph is cheaper, easier than tuning to break 32 mph. Start with Fred's Guide.
Increasing power, and top end performance.
One of the fastest and virtually free improvements is increasing compression by milling or shaving down the head. Raising compression boosts power across all ranges. The original motors had low 6.5:1 compression. It's possible to remove at least 2 millimeters from the head, bringing the mating surface even with the cooling fins, and remove the head gasket while still using 87 octane without issue. At least 2mm more can be removed, compare head gasket diameter to combustion chamber diameter for a gauge of piston clearances.
Air Filter
The stock air filter is restrictive. It is possible to drill a few holes to increase airflow. Other easy options for the FA50 include removing the plastic airbox and reusing the rubber elbow connecting it to the carb. Various "performance" auto parts store valve cover breathers will fit this elbow. The FZ50 air filter bolts on to the carb with 2 screws. New filter housing can be either screwed to bracket or a rubber hose can be fitted to the carb throat to adapt other filters. If a bike bogs with a less restrictive air filter it could be the sign of a clogged idle jet.
One of the few performance parts available for the 49cc Suzuki motor was the Simonini Expansion chamber. Powerband is a little high, it kicks in at about 22mph. There is some loss of low end power but worth the major increase in top end power. The Simonini pipe has been out of production for awhile and can be hard to find. The next solution is to cut the muffler off the exhaust header and weld an expansion chamber from a different bike in its place. You should try to match engine size and power band from the donor bike. Expect to increase your carburetor jetting to prevent a lean condition and to maximize top end power. The lost low end can be regained by increasing the compression if not already done.
FA50 tire size is restricted by the minimal clearance to the rear mounted carburetor. Low tire pressure can add significant drag, up to a 5 mph loss. Inflate to 35 psi or higher for less resistance. FZ50 rear tire size can be increased from a 12x3" tire to 12x4" with minimal changes. This adds about 2" in tire height which will increase gearing and top end. A 12x3.5" tire should fit with out any changes. The 12x4" requires filing a bump off the transmission and off setting the 2 wheel pieces by 1/4" with washers.
The FA50 service manual recommends running 500ml 20w-40 multi-weight oil. Changing to Mobil 1 0w-30 synthetic is worth a 2-4mph increase. Another common problem is an overfilled transmission. More than 500ml will add excessive drag on the drivetrain. Its only necessary to fill the transmission 300ml.
The FZ50 has a 2 speed automatic transmission. The 2nd speed clutch works by centrifugal force dictated by rpm. Typically they shift between 10-12 mph. The service manual recommends 900ml of 10w-40. The most common ways to raise the shift point on similar clutches are running thicker oil, lightening the clutch shoes, flipping the clutch shoes or changing to stronger springs. No particular oil weight seems to effect the shift point. The 0w-30 synthetic does cause a longer shift into 2nd, which could help acceleration, but shows excessive wear and particles in the oil. Oil designated for motorcycles and wet clutches will give greater protection for clutches and transmissions. Lightening the clutch shoes will cause 2nd to shift later, but it slips until it fully engages causing extra wear.
Engine Kits
An engine kit is generally a an oversized piston and cylinder designed to increase engine displacement. There are a few engine kits available. The most common increases the piston bore from 40mm to 45mm yielding 58cc displacement.
The easiest kit to get in the US is a Suzuki 60cc 77 kit.
NC-Motorsports out of Denmark sells a 45mm kit for Suzuki FZ50/FY50/FS50 as ebay item#250556009383 currently less than $120 with free shipping.
A different kit, untested, 47mm 64cc, $224 plus shipping.
Another 45mm kit, carbon fiber reeds, 16mm carburetors etc. 8.5 HP!!!
More dutch Suzuki performance parts.
Increasing engine size will increase low and mid range power but probably won't increase your top end speed without porting. This is because the biggest limit on stock motors it the amount of air available to flow through the engine. Increasing engine size with the same airflow restrictions should actually lower total available rpms.
Once properly tuned the biggest restriction on top end and speed becomes airflow. Porting the transitions between the carburetor through the entire motor can significantly increase rpm and top speed. On the FZ50 the transition between the intake and the reed block has a 3mm difference between the two. Removing the intake and reed block is only 4 bolts more than removing the carburetor. Using a file or a dremel tool to match these parts will help the engine's powerband and raise max rpm. It is possible to change how the motor breathes by porting the cylinder's windows. Smitty's_Cylinder_Porting_Guide. The Suzuki 50cc intake port is small and could be improved by enlarging and squaring. Stock cylinder port windows extend 2.6mm below BDC. Adding extra base gaskets adjust piston port timing and raises the ports, sometimes referred to as a rev plate. A total of 4 case gaskets will expose all of the ports at bdc, adding about 20-30% to your port size. On a mildly port polished and matched motor this can bring top end and rpms up to reach 40 MPH. This does require at least milling the head as much as you shim to maintain stock compression, and to properly do this the cylinder jug should be decked to retain proper squish band. Keep in mind as top end power and rpm increase low end suffers.
Oil Injection
Both motors use oil injection. The suzuki oil injection is quite reliable. The injection mixes with the ratio of 40:1. The FA50's oil injection tends to cover the spark plug making it difficult to read plug chops. Bypassing the oil pump and switching to 50:1 premix can increase the amount of gas entering the engine.
Spark plug
Performing a plug chop can be a very important guide for adjusting carb jetting.
Fa50 and FZ50 standard plug is a NGK BP4HA, crosses with Nippon Denso W14FP-UL. Its recommended to run a cooler plug especially if raising the compression. Cooler plugs would be the NGK BP5HA and BP6HA.
How to Index a spark plug. Mark the location of the electrode on the spark plug's porcelain. When installing make sure the electrode is opposite the exhaust port. In other words not in the way of the ignited fuel and the exhaust port.

Fire and Police Commission candidate to face council a second time
The Milwaukee Common Council will vote a second time on a nominee to the city's Fire and Police Commission.
Council members failed to confirm Ann Wilson last week in order to send a message to the mayor.
With a simple majority needed for confirmation, the council voted seven yes, five abstain, two no and one excused -- temporarily blocking Wilson's appointment to seven-member commission.
Council members said they did not have an issue with Wilson, but rather the process by which the mayor's office chooses its candidates.
Council President Willie Hines said that while the committee's hearing was open to public comment, the council sent a message to the mayor's office to make the selection process more transparent.
"We did our part by engaging the residents," Hines said. "It's clearly the sentiment of the council that we'd like the mayor to open up the process even more."
"It was a message to the mayor and also the executive director of the Fire and Police Commission that there are processes that they have the authority to put in place," said Ald. Ashanti Hamilton. "We would like to see that implemented."
"My hope is that the message is sent that there be more inclusion or else we might find ourselves in the same position again," Ald. Milele Coggs said.
The mayor's office launched an online form where residents can submit applications for open board positions in the city, a move that Mayor Tom Barrett hopes will please the council.
"I think people would be surprised that we're looking for people to serve on some of these boards and commissions," Barrett said.
Ald. Terry Witkowski, who serves on the city's Public Safety Commission, addressed Wilson Thursday as she faced committee approval for the second time.
"Unfortunately you're the ping-pong between the common council and the mayor's office," he said.
Wilson said she is OK being in the middle, as long as progress is made that will benefit the city.
"Whatever it takes for our community to come together and make a better Milwaukee, I'll make history," she said.
The full council will take up Wilson's nomination for a second time later this month.

8 New Year's resolutions that aren't about weight loss
You can accomplish so much in 2020.
You can accomplish so much in 2020.
You can accomplish so much in 2020.
With only days to go before the new year, you've probably been seeing a lot of dieting ads all over the place, and the hashtag "#NewYearNewMe" is coming back with a vengeance. Of course getting (and staying) healthy is important, but if the idea of trying to force a 20 lb. weight loss on yourself is more daunting than inspiring, it's important to remember that there's a lot you can do to self-improve that doesn't include the scale. Here are some ways you can make 2020 one of your most accomplished years yet.
Get More Organized
Everyone could probably use a bit of streamlining in their life. So, get out the label maker, grab some storage cubes and get your place in order in 2020!

Get Rid of Some Stuff
Like most people, you're probably hanging on to too much stuff. Sort through it all and decide what you really don't need and either toss it, donate it or try to sell it. There's no use holding on to a bunch of things taking up too much space; it can even complicate things for your loved ones later on. So go ahead and KonMari your space. You'll feel better once you do.
Read More
Instead of scrolling through your social feeds yet again, try reading. Reading has been proven to help you relax, and reading with your kids is very important for their development.

Stick to a Budget
Whether it's your grocery bill, your phone bill or treating yourself a bit too often, if your finances need some TLC, try writing out everything you spend. Sticking to a budget will help you not just in 2020, but for years to come.
Give Back
Americans are actually much more charitable than you might think, but there is certainly more we can be doing to help one another. If you don't have time to volunteer, setting up an automatic monthly donation is a great way to consistently give. Just make sure the charity is legitimate before signing up.

Surveys of business-friendly places frequently put Texas on top, and many businesses—manufacturers in particular—are indeed relocating to the Lone Star State. But is it sensible for retail-oriented financial advisors to make such a move?
Tax-weary advisors in places like New York, Chicago or Los Angeles may dream about Florida or Texas – especially after reading on AdvisorOne that Miami and several Texas cities are among the Top 10 wealth zones with fewest advisors (although – surprise, surprise – so are Chicago and L.A.).
But according to L.A.-based CPA Steve Frankiel, who specializes in helping clients make domicile decisions, for most people taxes are simply not the primary motivation for a move of that magnitude.
"The main drivers are access to referrals and clients as well as family issues," Frankiel told AdvisorOne in a phone interview. "I've only seen 2 people move [because of taxes] in 30 years," he added.
It's not that such a move won't save the advisor money. By moving from California to Texas or Florida, an advisor "would save income taxes on net business earnings and forgo the benefit of the deduction of state income taxes," Frankiel said. So an advisor earning $200,000 would on balance save roughly 7% of his income, or $14,000.
An advisor may save even more than that if he's fleeing a city that imposes income taxes or gross receipts taxes. An L.A.-based business pays roughly $5 for every $1,000 earned, he says.
But the vagaries of different tax jurisdictions can also adversely affect those who move in what might be surprising ways to those unfamiliar with the different ways of taxing.
"What you waive in income taxes may be given back in property taxes," Frankiel says, noting that property taxes in California are comparatively low while they are on the higher side in Florida.
Residents of the Sunshine State also pay taxes on consumer services, even on rent, Frankiel says. "Each state has its own method of collecting revenue," he adds.
The bottom line therefore is that advisors need to give primary thought to the top line—where can they generate income.
"If you're a wealth advisor, you're going to be concerned about getting referrals for clients," Frankiel says. "Conferences are nice, but having steady contact with a group of people who can refer…business is wonderful. And that's not likely to be in some small town in north Mexico. If you want to grow your business, you need to be in a place where you can grow your referrals."

Confession: we check our horoscopes a little too religiously and sometimes their accuracy can be a bit spooky, especially those pesky love charts. Well, artist Caris Reid has a new project that plays with sex and astrology in an awesome new way. Called the "Whoroscope" project (after the poem by Samuel Beckett), Reid is doing portraits that aim to reveal your inner whore. Not to worry though-these are some classy broads-all Reid's portraits are of prostitues from the Victorian era and the '20s that correspond with each zodiac sign. Done on paper in black and white ink, these 8x11 portraits won't break the bank at a cool $150 a piece, but you'll have to move quick as Reid is only doing this project until her birthday on April 13th. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to order before April 1st and check out what your inner vintage whore looks like. We think Susan Miller would be into it.

The racial views of the members of the Gulnare Free Will Baptist Church in Kentucky evolved about 60 years in the past week, and all it took was a massive outpouring of shock and rage from people around the world. Yesterday, a week after nine people voted to pass a ban on interracial couples at the church, the decision was nullified. Pastor Stacy Stepp says that in place of the proclamation pushed by his predecessor, the congregation passed a new resolution that welcomes, "believers into our fellowship regardless of race, creed or color."
We should all applaud the 30 or so members who supported the new declaration. It takes a lot of guts to take a stand against a measure that was already voided by the denomination's governing body when just a week ago you were too cowardly to even vote.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon, the comedian extraordinaire and host of NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," joined Piers Morgan for a lively and very entertaining interview to chat about his new album "Blow Your Pants Off". The album features original music and parody song favorites from Fallon's show including duets with Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and many more star-studded musicians.
During the interview Fallon treated Morgan and the "Piers Morgan Tonight" team to his rendition of the theme song "Reading Rainbow" as if the leader singer of "The Doors", Jim Morrison, were to sing it.
Fallon also described his recent slow jam with President Barack Obama, "the POTUS with the mostest". "He was like, 'Oh, this will be fun. This will be fun. We're going to slow jam. We're going to slow jam,' And I go, yes, we're going to slow jam. It's great," recounted a delighted Fallon about Obama's response to Fallon's suggestion to participate in the now celebrated comedy sketch bit on his show.
"And I go this is a bit we do on the show," continued Fallon, "He goes, 'Oh, I've - I've seen slow jam. All right, here we go.' So we show it to him. And he - and he looks at it and he goes, 'I - I'm ready. Let's go.' So we run to the card. And he's fantastic. He has great timing, very comedic timing."
Watch the clips and listen to the interview as Fallon impersonates Obama, Morrison and many more.
I played Soul Kitchen and Twentieth Century Fox in a band in Kansas in 1968 and by the way I invented the technology used to film Reading Rainbow's Feature Books. Fallon did Morrison super-superbly! http://www.rogerreadingrainbow.com
Mr morgan, all the links are broken and they lead to a video crew in aleppo!
I am dying to hear what you thknk Newt said that was accurate ? The man is so out of touch he could not even get nominated....
"Kierien, would have brought in a much higher priced winner, Pierce."
I would have thought Jimmy was not so stupid to still support a communist whose task is to bankrupt the country for Soros. There is no explaining dumb.
Every time I hear you call yourself Catholic and then uniequivally support the proponents of abortion rights and gay marriage, I cringe. The reason I watch is I'm hoping for guests who will stand up to you and not allow any viewer to believe there is allowance for killing the preborn or overturning the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman in the natural law which is reenforced by the Catholic church.
http://youtu.be/FUzDN4xdnAY, Jesse Ventura was right about Building 7 and Piers Morgan censored him.
I'm am amazed that no one including yourself has said anything about the fact that all these methods of income sheltering are available to ANYONE who earns and saves money by investing it in the best kinds of instruments. This is t he biggest problem we have in this country, we expect the government to take care of it all, but we haven't counted the cost to ourselves and our children and our children's children and on and on. Too bad we no longer teach World History in our schools. There are several examples of defunct governments who took all the money and gave it away to everyone. We can see how that worked out, if we are smart enough to read and learn from it.
did you not notice a high level og arrogance from Obama and more from Biden?
Biden did not display VP level of control/was too emotional for a schoolboy,
sounded like a pitbull ion a china shoppe
Поздрави от БЪЛГАРИЯ!
i just don't think,you have what ,it takes,for Mexico has Talent.it's a No from me,how about you ,the world.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.
I think biggest problem we have in this country, we expect the government to take care of it all, but we haven't counted the cost to ourselves and our children and our children's children and on and on...
I m excited to have new blood on The Tonight Show , but it feels like Jimmy Fallon s stay on 3 Late Night is ending in the middle of its prime.
good post...

The significant heritage value of Sydney Observatory 1858 including the remains of Fort Phillip 1804 have been officially recognised at both local and state levels. The care and use of the site must protect the values that make it a significant part of the heritage of Sydney and NSW.
The exceptional heritage aspects of the Sydney Observatory have been outlined in a 'statement of significance' in the Conservation Plan (Kerr). The statement forms a succinct summation of the particularly unique and significant aspects of the site and its values, and is used to guide decisions regarding the care of the site:
'The Observatory is of exceptional significance in terms of European culture. Its dominant location beside and above the port town and, later, City of Sydney made it the site for a range of changing uses, all of which were important to, and reflected, stages in the development of the colony. These uses included: milling (the first windmill); defence (the first, and still extant, fort fabric); communications (the flagstaffs, first semaphore and first electric telegraph connection); astronomy, meteorology and time keeping ;
The surviving structures, both above and below ground, are themselves physical documentary evidence of 195 years changes of use, technical development and ways of living. As such they are a continuing resource for investigation and public interpretation;
The place has an association with an extensive array of historical figures most of whom have helped shape its fabric. These include: colonial Governors Hunter, Bligh, Macquarie & Denison; military officers and engineers Macarthur; Barrallier; Bellasis and Minchin; convicts: the as yet unnamed constructors of the mill and fort; architects: Greenway (also a convict), Lewis, Blacket, Weaver, Dawson and Barnet; signallers and telegraphists such as Jones and the family Moffitt; astronomers: particularly PP King, Scott, Smalley, Russell, Cooke and Wood;
The elevation of the site, with its harbour and city views and vistas framed by mature Moreton Bay fig (Ficus macrophylla) trees of the surrounding park, make it one of the most pleasant and spectacular locations in Sydney;
The picturesque Italianate character and stylistic interest of the Observatory and residence building, together with the high level of competence of the masonry (brick and stone) of all major structures on the site, combine to create a precinct of unusual quality;
Finally, the continued use of the observatory for astronomical observations and the survival of astronomical instruments, equipment and some early furniture, although temporarily dispersed, and the retention of most interior spaces, joinery, plasterwork, fireplaces, and supports ensure that the observatory can remain the most intact and longest serving early scientific building in the State (Kerr 1991: 39)
Also of significance for relationship of Commonwealth and State powers. Site of the first inter-colonial conference on meteorology and astronomy. (Pearson et al 1999)
An excellent example of a Colonial building erected for scientific purposes and continuing to perform its function at the present time. The structure makes an imposing composition atop the historic hill originally known as Flagstaff Hill and occupies the historic Fort Phillip site (1804-45). Designed by the colonial architect Alexander Dawson and built in 1858.
After completion of recent restoration from 2008 to 2011 the remains of Fort Phillip are now used for Australian historical archaeology workshops. Two of which are being set up today, June 29 for the school holiday period commencing tomorrow. They are Time Detectives and Dig It! Both workshops are being used as school holiday programs with the intent to run them on a regular basis for school and community tours.
Dig it! Archaeologists in training workshops run several times each holiday period and last just under two hours. They are always sold out and we use the following ad online and in our collateral:
"Become a hands-on archaeological detective and investigate the history of Fort Phillip and the site of Sydney Observatory. Experience a simulated archaeology dig, find out what happens to artefacts after they are 'dug' out of the ground. In wet weather, the dig is replaced by a fabulous 3-D Space Theatre session. Suitable for: ages 6–10 years"
Our second workshop is Time detectives: a science and archaeology game. "Treat your child to a fabulous day of science investigation at historic Fort Phillip, part of Sydney Observatory. This workshop includes a simulated archaeology dig, investigating finds, making an electronics analysis device which they then use to solve a mystery dating back 200 years. Participants get to view through binoculars and telescopes and experience the 3-D Space Theatre. Suitable for: ages 8–12 years." This workshop lasts 6.5 hours and again is always sold out.
The third archaeology program is offered to Vacation Care groups. In a typical 2 week holiday period we may have up to 10 groups attend and it is this one we have been preparing today in particular by cleaning the "dig pit" and planting our artifacts. Vacation care groups: dig it! And map it! "A fun, hands-on simulated archaeology dig. In the program for primary and infants school age children participants dress up and take part in a simulated dig with our resident archaeologist and record their findings. Binoculars are used to view South Head and the children decode Sydney Observatory flags. For high school children measurement is made using instruments and participants map a section of the site, recording their archaeology finds. Participants safely view the Sun through a telescope (weather permitting) and record their measurements of solar activity. This workshop caters for up to 60 children at a time and is suitable for ages 5–9 years and 10–14 years.
As we continue to develop our programs and target schools and community groups it is expected that archaeology will continue to expand at Sydney Observatory.

CRDF Global has many funding and reviewer opportunities related to our work in international science and technology engagement, as well as the new gateway to international research collaboration, Newton's List, created by CRDF Global in partnership with the National Science Foundation.
CRDF Global is an independent not-for-profit organization that supports international science and technology cooperation through grants, technical assistance and training. The organization was established in 1995 to support US cooperation with scientists and engineers in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other countries of Eurasia. At that time, our immediate focus was to provide civilian research opportunities that would enable Eurasia's world-class scientists to continue research in their home country. Beginning in 2003, CRDF Global's work expanded to other regions. Today we are working in over 40 countries in Eurasia, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. CRDF Global's headquarters are in Arlington, Virginia and it has four overseas offices in Moscow, Kyiv, Almaty and Amman.
CRDF Global's mission is to promote peace and prosperity through international science cooperation. We understand that advances in science and technology are critical to solving pressing challenges in health, agriculture, energy and climate. But no single country can solve all their challenges alone. In this increasingly globalized world, scientists, engineers and innovators must be able to connect, collaborate and create with counterparts around the world. This is where CRDF Global plays a critical role by catalyzing international partnerships in science, technology and innovation. We do that through a range of programs that seek to modernize science and technology capabilities; enable international research partnerships; and foster innovation and technology-based entrepreneurship.
Our work covers all natural sciences disciplines. For example, our Collaborative Research Grants programs with Eurasian countries awards funding to teams of US-Eurasian scientists working in chemistry, mathematics, ecology, physics, engineering, biology, and other domains. Approximately 23% of the 1,258 joint research projects funded under this program are in the physical sciences. Under another program, CRDF Global sponsored joint research competitions with four independent foundations that we established in Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Sixty-seven of the 220 research projects supported through these initiatives were in physics.
Dr. Alexander A. Aculinin, a senior scientist with the Atmospheric Research Group (ARG) at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Academy of Science of Moldova Credit: Atmospheric Research Group http://www.arg.phys.asm.md/
One project involved a team led by Dr. Alexander A. Aculinin, a senior scientist with the Atmospheric Research Group (ARG) at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Academy of Science of Moldova. Dr. Aculinin partnered with a US team headed by Dr. Alexander Smirnov, a senior research scientist with the Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center at the University of Maryland, to establish Moldova's first-ever solar radiation monitoring station. The station has been in operation since 2003, is installed on the roof of the Institute of Applied Physics and is equipped with state-of-the-art radiometric instrumentation, an automatic weather station and an ozonometer. All radiometric and ozone data acquired at the monitoring station are freely accessible to research centers and universities worldwide.
CRDF Global's support of physics is not limited to Eurasia. Under our Iraq Science Fellowship Program (ISFP), CRDF Global, with funding from the US Department of State, supports three-six month fellowships for Iraqi scientists and engineers at US universities or businesses. Two of our current ISFP fellows have physics backgrounds. One has a background in physics of materials and serves as the chief physicist of an Iraq ministry. His fellowship has taken him to the University of California, San Diego, where he is working with different ceramic nano-composites to improve the strength and quality of dental implants. A second fellow, who directs a research center at an Iraqi university, specializes in surface science. He is currently on fellowship to the University of New Orleans doing research on synthesizing nano-wires to improve sensing technology for gaseous pollutants.
Opportunity for you
These examples provide just a sampling of the many projects CRDF Global has supported over its 18 year history. For more information about CRDF Global, please visit us at our website. If you are interested in applying for a grant or getting involved with CRDF Global as a reviewer, please visit the "Connect With Us" section of our website.
For information on other funding opportunities for international collaboration in research or education, please visit Newton's List. This website is a tool for funders and grant seekers interested in collaborative international research and education. If you're interested in international science and technology engagement, we hope to hear from you.
Cathy Campbell is President and CEO of CRDF Global.

Next: ax_prog_java, Previous: ax_prog_httpd, Up: The Macros
AX_PROG_JAR tests for an existing jar program. It uses the environment variable JAR then tests in sequence various common jar programs.
If you want to force a specific compiler:
- at the configure.in level, set JAR=yourcompiler before calling AX_PROG_JAR
- at the configure level, setenv JAR
You can use the JAR variable in your Makefile.in, with @JAR@.
Note: This macro depends on the autoconf M4 macros for Java programs. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you download that whole set, some macros depend on other. Unfortunately, the autoconf archive does not support the concept of set of macros, so I had to break it for submission.
The general documentation of those macros, as well as the sample configure.in, is included in the AX_PROG_JAVA macro.
Download the latest version of ax_prog_jar.m4 or browse the macro's revision history.

I have lots of points, and a road (lines) and I would like to calculate from point A to point B (the distance must route through the roads (lines).
I found this QGIS calculate distance of point along a line , but when I'm trying to do a v.distance, I don't see it saving the distance into the DB.
I need the DB to show:
Source Destination Distance
Point A Point B 10.0011
Point A Point C 101.12
point A Point D 1212
Point B point c 121.0
point B Point D 31.0
... ... ...
Any idea?

Taroko Gorge is possibly my favorite place in all of Taiwan. earlier this month I visited Taroko for the fourth time. [with all that there is to see in Taiwan, I'm sure that goes a way towards explaining how much I love this place.]
we pedaled uphill for a few kilometers, stopping often to rest and take in the views. I'm not really an avid cyclist and it was pretty tough for me. soon we decided the road was getting just a bit too steep [and there were too many hairpin turns that cars might appear around] and opted to coast back down toward the hotel.
note: it's been about a decade since I coasted down a hill on a bike, and I forgot just how fun it is. I'd definitely recommend trying a bike up the road [if you think your legs can handle it.] it was a great way to see some new views, away from the tour bus crowds.
on our coast back down, we decided to make a stop at one of my favorite hiking trails.
due to its proximity to Hualien [one of Taiwan's most common earthquake epicenters] and the summer typhoons that always roll through the island, every visit to Taroko has been a little bit different. when I visited in spring of 2014, my friend and I discovered the Baiyang Waterfall Trail. and I promptly fell in love.
this time [early November 2015] the Baiyang Trail was only open for the first kilometer or so. it's always a challenge to find information on trail closures. not to mention accurate, up-to-date, and in English. despite the closure of the main portion of the trail, we managed to do some awesome exploring right down in the gorge.
this was technically not part of the trail. but it seems like some of the rules in Taiwan are more like suggested guidelines... and we spotted a family having a picnic down by the river so we figured it would be safe enough.
being able to get down in the gorge and see the rock formations up close was a nice consolation to missing out on the waterfall. I'm not a geology expert, but the layers in the rock are fascinating. it's also crazy to see so much marble in one place. the boulders here were smaller, maybe the size of cars, but elsewhere in the gorge they are as large as houses!
we hiked the trail for as far as we could. despite our earlier trek off the beaten path, we weren't about to mess with three rolls of caution tape and a hundred red flags. [this was actually the third time that day we were foiled by a closed trail. thanks, typhoon season.]
it was disappointing not to make it to the end of the trail. but I imagine that keeping this park and all the trails in working order is no small task. plus - I've hiked Baiyang before and I'll hopefully hike it again. the Baiyang Trail is still one of my favorites. and I would still recommend this trail to visitors, which is supposedly reopening by the end of the year.
until next time, Taroko, stay gorgeous.

hope this might help people with this problem you cans see more on my testing and such at slysoft forum
Ok I fixed the problem. This is going to take time to explain.
Fist I saw that the problem with Nero or Clonedvd was with the first part of the writing
I assume that writing the boot info. I fixed the Nero illegal mode this trak by going to zone alarm antivirus scan targets and unchecking the scan boot section for all drives. This did not fix the writedvd 10 11 w2 error that happens right as it started the write in Clonedvd.
To fix this I had to go to zone alarm antivirus advanced then exceptions and add the clonedvd.exe to the exceptions. Zone alarm has two select types for exceptions and they are trusted and on access.
I had placed the whole Clonedvd folder in the exceptions list for on access and it did not fix the problem. I placed the clonedvd.exe in the exceptions for on access and it did not fix the problem. I placed clonedvd.exe in the exceptions list for trusted and it fixed it. The difference is the trusted means the file will not be scanned with any scans, on access only excludes files from being scanned when they are opened .etc per zone alarm…
Nero illegal mode this trak
Uncheck boot sector scanning in zone alarm antivirus
writedvd 10 11 w2 error
In zone alarm antivirus go to advanced exceptions and add clonedvd.exe as a selection type trusted process exception.
I still think the writedvd 10 11 w2 error at the start of Clonedvd is a timing error and for some reason clonedvd takes to long to start the write and that an antivirus program slows it down even more. Either that or what ever the part of the program that gives the writedvd 10 11 w2 error has to short of time limit. Since I am not a software writer I will leave that to Slysoft.

Dear CODEPINK Activist,
In the wake of the horrific devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, further compounded by the Bush Administration's disastrous response, the women and men of CODEPINK are fully mobilized to be of service in every way possible. It is heart-wrenching to see the disconsolate faces of our brothers and sisters begging their nation for help. Most tragic are the anguished images of unsheltered mothers, clutching hungry babies while searching for food. All this, while our critically needed National Guard, the homeland's primary protectors, are deployed to battle an illegal, unjustifiable war. Tragically, the misdeeds of the Federal Government have shredded America's ability to take care of its own. Nearly 40% of our National Guard and Army reservists are currently fighting in Iraq. And while the National Guard of each state serves under authority of the Governor, the Bush Administration has commandeered their critical services, forced them overseas, and depleted America's own strength at home.
These atrocious policies, which have severely weakened our nation, increase the urgent need for the women and men of CODEPINK, and the rest of America, to RISE UP TO HELP. Please do whatever you can. CODEPINK has compiled the following ways you can contribute to help alleviate this unprecedented tragedy.
1. Donate Blood, Blood for Life and Not for Oil. Contact www.givelife.org or call 1-800GIVELIFE. You can make your own individual appointment or go as a group. San Diego CODEPINK is organizing a group donation on Sunday.
2. Support our CODEPINK Austin and Houston efforts to aid victims flooding into their cities.
We are one nation. We are one people. AND WE WILL HELP!
With outrage, sadness and compassion,
P.S. Join us in D.C., September 24-26, for a historic weekend of mass mobilization against the war in Iraq. Click here to learn more about how you can volunteer. If you can't join us, don't forget to visit onemillionreasons.org so we can take your reason to get out of Iraq to the White House. Encourage your friends to submit their reasons as well. And don't forget to forward this email to your friends!
As students and parents are gearing up for the new school year, CODEPINK and friends from the Leave My Child Alone coalition will be working towards the end of militarization of our youth! This week (starting September 7th) a NATIONAL month of opt-out will begin with events all over the country. Join us in this action to spread the word about opting out students from military databases. For more information visit www.leavemychildalone.org and CODEPINK's Back-to-School webpage.

RANDALL BEACH: 'The Voice of NPR' has left that air space, seeking new ventures
Anybody who has listened to National Public Radio for the past 31 years would immediately recognize that strong, carefully unwavering voice: "Support for NPR comes from Newman's Own Foundation" or "Support for NPR comes from Novo Nordisk..."
But last week that voice vanished, replaced by a younger-sounding female. Yes, she is pleasant to listen to — but what happened to our longtime friend on the airwaves?
Until I read about him in The New Yorker two weeks ago, I didn't know his name. Nor did I have any idea he was making all those recordings in a closet in his home in Hamden.
Meet Frank Tavares, who also is a professor teaching organizational communication at Southern Connecticut State University. That's what he calls his "day job."
As a devoted NPR listener, I had to see that closet. Last Wednesday morning, Tavares showed me around.
"This is where I do my recording," he said, opening a tiny closet lined with hangers of coats and shirts, shelves filled with sweaters and several stacked suitcases. At the end of the closet: a chair, a little table and a microphone.
"A closet is a nice place to do this work," Tavares told me. "The clothing and the carpeting absorbs the sound, so you don't get that hollow sound, like you're recording in a bathroom."
He picked up a small sign with the message: "On air."
"This is what I put in my upstairs window when I'm recording," he said. "When my neighbor sees it, he refrains from mowing his lawn."
Tavares' understanding neighbor, Jim Fracasse, learned to understand Tavares' set schedule: 8 a.m. to about 12 noon, every other Saturday. That's when Tavares went into his closet and recorded hundreds of funding credits that were heard all over the world.
"I'll do around 600 of them every other week," Tavares said.
He was speaking in the present tense. But in the middle of his following sentence, he caught himself and switched to the past: "I get all the scripts — or, I got all the scripts — in spreadsheets via email."
Tavares said it was last April 20 when he had "the conversation" that so many Americans have had with their bosses in recent times. A vice president at NPR told him the corporation had decided they needed to "make the workflow more efficient."
NPR officials wanted to combine Tavares' part-time job with that of another employee, so one person would do the voice work as well as handling the recording and editing.
"I was told, 'This has nothing to do with the quality of your work,'" Tavares recalled, "and 'You're invited to apply for it but you must live in D.C.'"
Because Tavares has established a nice life in Connecticut and has that full-time day job at SCSU and doesn't want to uproot his wife and their two sons, he never considered applying.
The new voice at NPR is Sabrina Farhi, who is 33 and until recently lived in Brooklyn. She moved to Washington to take that job.
Although Tavares, 68, is more than twice her age, he rejected any notion he is a victim of age discrimination. He added, "Change is not always a bad thing."
Tavares will be looking for other announcing gigs but, meanwhile, he will continue to use that closet for another regular endeavor of that space: writing fiction.
His short stories have appeared in assorted literary journals. He recently had published a collection of them, "The Man Who Built Boxes." He also is working on a novel.
When he was a kid, Tavares never thought about going into radio work. But as he was preparing to graduate from high school, he passed his yearbook around the classroom and one of his female classmates wrote: "With a voice like yours, you should be in radio."
He was reminded of those words when he arrived at Wheaton College in Illinois in 1962 and saw a sign-up table for the college radio station. That work led to jobs with commercial stations after he graduated. In 1972, he landed his first job with public radio, in Austin, Tex. And in 1978, he was hired to work at NPR in Washington, helping direct audience programming.
"In 1982, we started doing funding credits. Bob Edwards (then the NPR morning host) came over and told the producer, 'I can't read this.' They realized they needed a firewall between the content and the underwriting. So the producer pulled me in from the hall, and I started reading."
Tavares said he got "burned out" from the 80-hour work weeks and in 1989, accepted an offer to teach at SCSU. But he continued to do the NPR voice work.
Tavares admitted that the first time he heard Farhi's voice instead of his on the radio, "It absolutely caught me off-guard. It'll take me a little while to get used to it."
"Yes, I'll miss hearing my voice on the radio, and I'll miss being part of the daily fabric of public radio. But it'll be fine. I'm an NPR listener, and I'll get used to it."

- autor: René W., pred 2 mesiacmiHodnotenie: 4 z 5Coming from KeepassXC-Browser I switched solely because Bitwarden does not require a running desktop-client, since I was occasionally using a Chromebook.
2 small issues bother me, and this is why I don't rate it 5/5
1. Searching
When typing into the searchbar of the addon it has often a hicup where it drops characters. Also it does not always search in the entire vault.
2. Lack of keyboard shortcuts
KeepassXC-Browser has multiple Shortcuts allowing me to fill Username, Password and TOTP Strings, with Bitwarden I have to open the Addon and click around.
The price for premium at 10$ is very reasonable, the Android-App works better then Lastpass's so I am content with it as a solution.
- autor: Používateľ Firefoxu - 15045770, pred 2 mesiacmiHodnotenie: 5 z 5Not long ago, I used to manage passwords by saving mnemonics (that only I understood) in a text file on my laptop. This worked pretty well for those passwords I could set myself (following the mnemonic patterns). This system wasn't available on my phone or other devices, which was inconvenient. The limitation of *what* it could store was much more serious: secrets like crypto tokens or credit card numbers, equally important, didn't fit the mnemonic pattern scheme, and therefore couldn't be stored safely in a plain text file. Instead, I resorted to multiple other ad-hoc systems, like pieces of paper or dedicated flash drives or even just memory, which I constantly dreaded would be leaked, lost or forgotten, a major source of anxiety for me.
When I went looking for a solution (and I was really only trying to replace my password system), Bitwarden immediately stood out. First, my profession (and my passion) is developing open source software, and closed-source, proprietary solutions were immediately off the table. None of the other remaining options checked off half the boxes boxes Bitwarden did, especially availability on all my devices (even in the browser!) and Internet synch on a self-hosted server. Bitwarden even checked off boxes I didn't even know I had, like automatic password filling inside the browser AND in Android apps. Bitwarden was clearly the top choice. I spent about an hour switching over, installing the Firefox extension on my Linux laptop and the Android app on my phone, and migrating some of my most-used passwords.
My life has never been the same since. Managing passwords is now almost effortless no matter which device I'm using, and no longer limited to the old mnemonic system. I didn't initially realize Bitwarden could also help remember so many other secrets, like credit cards, identities, GPG and SSH keys, API tokens and more, eliminating all my ad-hoc systems and with them, those feelings of dread and anxiety. That was undoubtedly one of the single hours spent of my life that has made a major, permanent, palpable improvement on my life every day since. Not an exaggeration!
- autor: Buns o' Steel, pred 2 mesiacmiHodnotenie: 1 z 5This last update is really really slow and doesn't seem to be syncing properly for me.
~15 seconds from hitting login to the auth code screen.
I tried reinstalling the extension but still the same behavior.
- autor: Používateľ Firefoxu - 16191796, pred 2 mesiacmiHodnotenie: 5 z 5Various passwords hacked this summer. Massive amount of effort spent to recover and protect my family. After consulting with several IT Security experts, I chose Bitwarden to guard our Login credentials.
Bitwarden is a fairly simple and VERY SAFE application to use. Short learning curve but then it is just another step to take in the effort to keep data safe from hackers. Accessible on my computer, cell phone, and via the Internet.

The presence of toxic chemicals in water
and sediments throughout New York-New
Jersey Harbor results in reduced
water quality, fisheries restrictions/advisories
and general adverse impacts to the
estuarine and coastal ecosystems.
Problems associated with the management
of contaminated dredged material
have resulted in uncertainty regarding
the construction and future maintenance
of the maritime infrastructure that
supports shipping in the Harbor.
NJ Toxics Reduction Workplan for
NY-NJ Harbor (NJTRWP) includes a
series of water quality and hydrodynamic
studies designed to provide the
NJ Department of Environmental Protection
(NJDEP) with the information it
needs to identify sources of the
toxic chemicals of concern, and
to prioritize these sources for
appropriate action. The NJTRWP is
the NJ component of the NY-NJ Harbor
Estuary Program Contaminant Assessment
and Reduction Project (CARP). A
total of $9.5 million in funding
for the NJTRWP was provided by the
Port Authority of NY-NJ, through
the Office of Maritime Resources,
NJ Department of Transportation.
The two-volume New Jersey Toxics
Reduction Workplan, including its
Quality Assurance Project Plan,
is available.
One of the NJTRWP included a set
of ambient water quality, source
loading, and hydrodynamic studies:
Study I-C (implemented by the U.S.
Geological Survey) - samples were
collected at the heads-of-tide of
the five major New Jersey tributaries
to the harbor (the Passaic, Hackensack,
Elizabeth, Rahway, and Raritan Rivers); USGS
Data Report
• Study
I-D (implemented by Stevens Institute
of Technology) - samples were collected
within the tidal reaches of these
five tributaries;
Study I-E (water quality component
implemented by SIT) - samples were
collected in the estuarine areas
of Newark Bay, the Kill van Kull,
and the Arthur Kill;
• Study I-E (hydrodynamic
component implemented by SIT and Rutgers
University) -hydrodynamic studies
of currents, tidal elevations, etc.
were conducted in conjunction with
the ambient water quality studies;
• Study I-G (implemented by
Great Lakes Environmental Center)
- sampled the discharges from all
twelve (12) NJ wastewater treatment
plants (POTWs) that discharge to
the harbor, as well as from selected
combined sewer overflows (CSOs)
and stormwater outfalls (SWOs).
Project Summary
NJTRWP sampling program and data
analysis activities focus on the
detection of very low concentrations
of toxic contaminants using state-of-the-science
sampling and analytical procedures.
The samples were analyzed for polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins/furans
(PCDD/Fs), organochlorine pesticides
(including DDT, chlordane, and dieldrin),
polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
and the metals cadmium (Cd), lead
(Pb), mercury (Hg), and methyl-Hg.
The NJDEP-DSRT Research Project
Summaries for the ambient water quality and POTW\CSO\SWO
studies are available.
NJTRWP includes studies of the hydrodynamics
of the Newark Bay - Arthur Kill
- Kill van Kull complex and the
Passaic, Hackensack, and Raritan
Rivers. These studies are the first
comprehensive investigation of the
movement of water and suspended
sediment throughout NY-NJ Harbor.
Short duration and longer-term measurements
of water currents, tides, and suspended
sediment have been obtained simultaneously
with water sampling for the chemicals
of concern. The NJDEP-DSRT Research
Project Summary is also available.
HEP Contaminant Assessment and Reduction Project (CARP)
1997, the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary Program (HEP) established the Contaminant
Assessment and Reduction Project (CARP). The CARP is a multi-agency,
bi-state (NJ and NY) effort to develop a better understanding of toxic
contamination in NY-NJ Harbor, with a focus on the management of contaminated
dredged material. The water quality data from the NJTRWP and the NY
State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) CARP program
have been compiled into the CD-ROM CARP Database, and have been used
to develop the CARP Model of sediment and chemical transport and fate
in NY-NJ Harbor. Additional information on CARP, and instructions for
obtaining a copy of the CARP Database and the CARP Model reports, can
be found at: https://www.hudsonriver.org/article/contaminants

I have the Point Of Sale app that was using COM and LPT ports to print on POS printers so far, but now I need to start with USB printers that seem to be more modern...
What general direction should I take? Should I just print as I do on regular A4 printers, just don't show PrintDialog using PD_RETURNDEFAULT and make the layout a bit narrower so it fits on the printer?
What about the paper length? Should I just print for as long as I need or do I need to check the height of the page with GetDeviceCaps() or something?
Or maybe do I need to call first EnumPrinters() and find out sutable printer on my own so users can keep default priner set on some A4 usb or network printer used for normal printing?

Apple will sell 101.6 million iPads and 193.9 million iPhones in 2013, according to an analyst.
In contrast to Apple, Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley predicted that Amazon will sell 10.7 million tablets during 2013 and Samsung is projected to sell 8.4 million tablets.
In reaction to news of the new Apple tablets Canaccord Genuity raised its target on the stock to $800 from $797, while many other analysts cut their targets.
For the three months of the December quarter, Canaccord Genuity forecasts iPad sales of 9.25 million.
Walkley said: "With the impressive refresh of the 4th generation Retina iPad and launch of the iPad Mini earlier this week, we anticipate very strong holiday quarter iPad sales. In fact, with Apple's decisions to price the iPad Mini at a $170 discount to similar 4th generation iPad SKUs and competitively priced versus lower priced competing products from Google and other Android OEMs, we anticipate strong sales of the iPad mini, especially as gifts during the holiday quarter.Further, we believe the iPad Mini significantly expands Apple's tablet addressable market internationally and should lead to strong sales throughout F2013 as international distribution increases."
Predicted iPhone sales for 2013
With regard to the iPhone sales of 193.9 million in 2013, Walkley predicted that Samsung would sell 303.6 million expected handsets. He notes that Apple's 59% of operating profits and Samsung's 47%, will combine to take 106% of all smartphone profits, however reports Forbes.
As noted by Fortune, Michael Walkley was ranked number 1 among the analysts who predicted revenue and EPS for Apple's just gone financial quarter. Walkley's estimate for Apple's bottom line ($9.67) was right on the money and whose forecast for iPhone unit sales (26.92 million) was pretty darn close (actual sales: 26.91 million), writes Fortune.

Ex-oil tycoon Khodorkovsky travels to Switzerland
BERLIN (AP) — Former Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky traveled to Switzerland on Sunday, ostensibly on a family errand to bring his two sons back to school.
But Khodorkovsky told Swiss television in an interview that he planned to keep campaigning for the release of political prisoners in Russia. The businessman — who spent more than a decade in prison on what many in the West considered trumped-up charges — was pardoned last month by his longtime foe, Russian President Vladimir Putin.
There has been speculation that Khodorkovsky might seek to make a permanent home in Switzerland after telling reporters that he won't return to Russia for the time being. The 50-year-old has long business ties to Switzerland from his time as head of the now-defunct Yukos oil company.
"The trip to Switzerland is for family reasons," spokesman Christian Hanne said in a statement. "Mr. Khodorkovsky hasn't made any plans concerning the question of whether he would like to permanently live in Switzerland."
Khodorkovsky traveled by train Sunday from Berlin, where he had been since his Dec. 20 release, to Basel, Switzerland. The trip became possible after Switzerland gave him a three-month visa that allows him to travel freely within the 26-nation Schengen area, which includes Switzerland and most of the European Union but not Britain.
In an interview with Swiss television station SRF recorded during the train journey, Khodorkovsky said he felt a responsibility to help others in Russia who remain imprisoned for their political views.
"I want to do as much as possible to help secure the release of other political prisoners," he said.
Khodorkovsky has indicated that he retains some of the vast wealth that once made him Russia's richest man.
When he was prosecuted in Russia for tax evasion and money-laundering, Russian officials sought to seize about $5 billion linked to Yukos that had been deposited in Switzerland. But Swiss authorities refused to hand over the money, concluding that his prosecution was politically motivated.
"Mikhail Khodorkovsky is grateful for the clear position the Swiss authorities took during his many years in unjustified imprisonment," Hanne said. "The Swiss legal authorities contributed significantly to making the political nature of his prosecution apparent."
It's not clear how much of the money in Switzerland remains and whether Khodorkovsky has direct access to it.
