SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION: A/S VALENZUELA VISIT TO ARGENTINA;
12/18/09; BUENOS AIRES
December 17 newspapers reported on Assistant Secretary Valenzuela's
remarks during his December 15-16 visit to Argentina about the
views of U.S. investors regarding legal insecurity and excessive
state intervention, which he contrasted with the more positive mood
during a 1996 visit. Daily-of-record "La Nacion,"
business-financials "Ambito Financiero" and "El Cronista" echoed
Valenzuela's remarks focusing on the need for legal security, while
left-of-center "Pagina 12" and pro-government "Buenos Aires
Economico" were critical of an alleged nostalgia for the Menem
administration, with "Pagina 12" stating that Valenzuela's meeting
with VP Cobos was not tactful. December 18 local dailies report on
an "escalation" in the US-Argentine spat with Argentine Ambassador
to the U.S. Hector Timerman accusing US President Obama of veering
to the right "in the last 48 hours" in his policy on Argentina.
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" and conservative "La Prensa" are
supportive of the U.S. and blame the Argentine government for its
lack of compliance with legal rules. END SUMMARY.
- "The real progressive attitude"
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" (circulation 160,000) carries an
opinion piece by political columnist Fernando Laborda, who writes
(12/17), "CFK has forgotten her personal commitment to
institutional quality from the time she took office. At least this
is what both Assistant Secretary for Latin America Arturo
Valenzuela and Supreme Court Judge Carmen Argibay believe. Both of
them have targeted one of the weakest points of the Kirchner
administration, legal insecurity, which is one of main concerns of
local and foreign businessmen and investors.
"The U.S. companies' concern is not something new. The striking
thing about it is that it was made public by an envoy of Barack
Obama, and the novelty for the CFK administration is that there
does not seem to be substantial differences between a Democratic
administration (just like Obama's) and a Republican one (such as
George W. Bush's) on US policy towards Latin America. In both
cases, they are trying energetically to defend the interests of
the U.S. businessmen all over the world.
"Neither Judge Argibay's progressive attitude nor Obama's seem to
be in alignment with the Kirchners' concept of the same. Perhaps
the time has come for the presidential couple to understand that a
truly progressive attitude, just like a revolutionary one, lies
today in honoring legal security and power division."
- "Valenzuela's nostalgia and the Department of State's scolding
the 'backyard'"
Carlos Eichelbaum, columnist of "Buenos Aires Economico," writes
(12/17), "It is understandable that U.S. businessmen preferred
Carlos Menem, Domingo Cavallo and Roque Fernandez's 'economic
handlings'. The then Labor Minister Armando Caro Figueroa would not
have dared to react just like Carlos Tomada did at the permanent
infringement on laws and court rulings incurred into the Argentine
branch of Kraft multinational corporation, which is precisely a
U.S. company.
"Valenzuela's remarks are aligned with the US's brand-new decision
to launch warnings to discipline its 'backyard,' particularly those
Latin American governments that have revealed attitudes of greater
independence from Washington.
"Rather than specific critical statements of business conditions
for U.S. corporations, Valenzuela's comments seem to be intended to
demonstrate that the channels of communication Hillary opened also
include Buenos Aires."
- "Victims of their own deeds"
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" carries an opinion piece by political
analyst Joaquin Morales Sola, who writes (12/18), "Arturo
Valenzuela did not come (to Buenos Aires) to have a dispute with
the Kirchners, but he is used to speaking his mind, particularly
when he discovers that the interests of his country are at risk.
The most important U.S. official for Latin America certainly has
full knowledge of what is going on in Argentina... The Assistant
Secretary's remarks on legal insecurity are in line with those of
U.S. Ambassador Vilma Socorro Martinez just a few days ago. This is
not by chance. They surely voiced the Obama administration's
well-known opinion on the Argentine situation.
"What cannot be understood is why the presidential couple ordered
three ministers to respond to Valenzuela. A possible answer is that
the Kirchners always want to have the last world. Another choice is
that the Kirchners have decided, without any formal announcement,
to be part of the Latin American current led by Hugo Chavez, which
seriously questions the Obama administration. What will the local
government do then with Iran, with which it is in a conflict along
with the US? Even though the Kirchners always believe they are
victims of various situations, they themselves trigger those
situations."
- "The nostalgia for '96 and a meeting with an opponent VP"
Left-of-center "Pagina 12" (circulation 15,000) carries an opinion
piece by international analyst Luis Bruschtein, who opines (12/17),
"The visit of the new Assistant Secretary of State for Western
Hemisphere Affairs, Arturo Valenzuela, left little, if anything,
for those who expected a change in the US policy towards Latin
"Valenzuela's meeting with VP Julio Cobos could be more sensitive
than a rebuff to the Government from both Valenzuela and Cobos.
Valenzuela could appear as an 'accomplice' of the institutional
anomaly implied in the fact that a vice president is also an
opposition leader. The meeting was hardly a 'diplomatic' gesture
from the visitor.
"Valenzuela's remarks that U.S. businessmen are nostalgic for 1996
imply a 'slap on the face' that almost no one expected from an
Obama envoy.
"While Valenzuela met with other members of the opposition, his
meeting with VP Cobos implied a higher commitment because by doing
so, Valenzuela infringed on basic diplomatic premises."
- "A message with Obama's wink"
Fernando Gonzalez, editor of business-financial "El Cronista,"
(circulation 12,000) writes (12/17), "The relationship between the
Cristina Kirchner and the Obama administrations did not start well.
On January 20, when Barack Obama was sworn in (the first black
president in the US history), the Argentine President was
photographed in Cuba with Raul Castro during a visit to the island.
Obama has already met with Lula, Michelle Bachelet and Tabare
Vazquez, although he has not met with CFK... This is why one can
understand the current spat between both governments sparked by
Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs Arturo
Valenzuela's remarks that U.S. businessmen are 'concerned' over
legal insecurity. The problem for the Kirchners is that Obama is
not the only one who thinks that legal security is being affected
in the country, although he is the most powerful man who says it
and he has just conveyed a public message of huge importance to
them."

New Tanana Arctic Butterfly A Hybrid Of Two Ancient Species
Vikas Shukla
For the first time in 28 years, scientists have discovered a new species of butterfly in Alaska. Misidentified for more than 60 years, it may be the only butterfly species endemic to Alaska, according to a new study published in the Journal of Research on Lepidoptera. The Tanana Arctic butterfly is a rare hybrid of two ancient species, the white-veined arctic (O. bore) and the Chryxus Arctic (Oeneis chryxus).
Tanana Arctic butterfly arrive before the Ice Age
The University of Florida lepidopterist Andrew Warren, the lead author of the study, said in a statement that hybrid species are proof that animals evolved in ways we haven't thought about. Warren and his colleagues believe that the Tanana Arctic butterfly evolved from the hybridized offsprings of two butterflies just before the last Ice Age.
The newly identified butterfly lives in the Tanana-Yukon River Basin. The similarities between the new species and its close relatives kept it from being identified for almost six decades. Warren first identified it while organizing specimens in a museum collection. Though the Tanana Arctic butterfly specimens were similar to Chryxus Arctic, it had some distinct characteristics. It has a scattering of small white freckles that gave it a "frosted" appearance. The butterfly was also darker and larger than its relatives.
It may help monitor climate change
Warren said those studying plants and fish had suggested that unglaciated parts of ancient Alaska served as a refuge where animals and plants waited out the last Ice Age and then moved southward or eastward. The new butterfly species is a "supporting piece of evidence for that." Researchers plan to return to Tanana-Yukon River Basin to find new specimens.
Genome sequencing will help researchers understand whether the butterfly had any special traits that helped it survive the harsh environments. Since butterflies are extremely sensitive to climate change, the new species could help us identify major changes in the sensitive Arctic ecosystem. The Tanana Arctic butterfly has lived in the Tanana River valley for so long that we will be able to identify environmental changes if it ever moves out.

Drill: Pad holder at one end of the room; striker throwing light punches for technique; at the instructor's command, spring to the other end of the room, drop and do 5 push ups, then sprint back and punch at full speed! At the instructor's command, return to slow work; do about three rounds for each person.
Drill: pad holder moves around, and striker follows; on command, the striker must burst in with combatives; striker continues combatives until told to disengage; then return to movement.
Drill: the defender is on top of a pad in full mount, throwing strikes; the attacker pushes them off the pad and gets into a full mount position; the striker must improve his position by make Trap and Roll, or by doing Side Elbow Escape.

A witness in the ongoing civil trial against peer-to-peer software provider Sharman Networks has added weight to testimony last week that logs can be maintained to trace users who are exchanging unlicensed music online using the Kazaa software.
Professor Leon Sterling, chair of Software Innovation and Engineering for the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering in the University of Melbourne, said today in the Federal Court in Sydney statistics about the activity of users in a distributed system -- such as Kazaa -- are "capable of being collected and reported to a system operator in the same way as statistics about the usage of a single Web site are able to be collected and reported".
"The technology for collecting these statistics has become very sophisticated. In the case of the Web sites, it now allows capture of information beyond the numbers of users visiting the site, to their source location, the amount of time that they spent on a page, the files downloaded and even to where their cursor was located when they viewed the Web page [over files that are not ultimately downloaded]," Sterling said.
He added that although he was unable to identify whether user statistics were collected by the developers of Kazaa about Kazaa users, he thinks that the application "could have been designed in order to do this".
"Kazaa Media Desktop [KMD] could easily collect statistics that could be gathered at supernodes if it does not do so already," Sterling said.
A supernode contains a list of some of the files made available by other Kazaa users and where they are located. Kazaa users with the fastest Internet connections and the most powerful computers become the supernodes. When user performs a search, Kazaa first searches the nearest supernode to the user and sends the user immediate results.
"The fact that the system is distributed -- as opposed to a centralised system -- does not change this design opportunity and there are software tools available that could have been incorporated into KMD to do this. It is a design choice not to, not an inherent comment about the application or the lack of central information. Even in the case of a high volume distributed system such as Google, statistics are collected".
He went on to say that information could be collected in the form of activity logs -- a standard device used by operators of networks to record information about network traffic.
"These logs can even be used to identify and track the individual activities of single user, by recording details about the person's browsing and identity, though means such as a network MAC address, which is the unique machine identifier where the source file is present."
"In my view, the designers of Kazaa system intended the use of Kazaa to be the sharing of music files such as MP3 files, as a primary use even if it is not the only use."
Sterling added that the interface of the Kazaa system "provides no warning regarding potential copyright infringement from sharing music files" despite encouraging the users to share files.
He added that warnings regarding intellectual property exist at the bottom of the online version but these warnings are "not placed in a way that will make users take notice of or think about the copyright issue".
"In my view, it would be relatively straightforward for there to be some form of copyright warning placed prominently within the interface to the Kazaa application… and the designers of the Kazaa application have made a conscious decision not to place those warnings".
Sterling said that certain measures could be implemented to make users more aware of copyright issues and discourage sharing of files that infringe copyright.
He said Sharman Networks can add an explicit authorisation step before letting a Kazaa user to upload a file to the "My Shared Folder". The step could ask the user to check the box to indicate that they are authorised to make the file available. He also said that the designers could make the integrity rating more clearly reflect whether the copy was authorised and have that part of the information displayed to users. Designers can also add a link to copyright regulations of the country where the user is resident.
However, during cross examination by Sharman Networks counsel Mark Leeming, Sterling admitted that he hasn't thought about how long or how practical it will be to implement the suggestions he raised. He added that he only "got a sense of what would be possible with the system" by going through Kazaa's online guide.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that "the next few years are probably the most important in our history" for taking action to avoid catastrophic climate change. But the pace of change in South Africa is far too slow: shareholders must demand more.
The IPCC has today released its report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels.
The report highlights that the 1ºC of warming that has already occurred is clearly manifesting itself "through more extreme weather, rising sea levels and diminishing Arctic sea ice, among other changes". The report emphasises that "every extra bit of warming matters, especially since warming of 1.5ºC or higher increases the risk associated with long-lasting or irreversible changes, such as the loss of some ecosystems".
It is still possible to limit warming to 1.5ºC, but "doing so would require unprecedented changes" and "the decisions we make today are critical in ensuring a safe and sustainable world for everyone, both now and in the future".
The draft Integrated Resource Plan published in August 2018 still contains 1000MW of new coal-based electricity from two new coal Independent Power Producers, Thabametsi and Khanyisa. This is despite the undisputed evidence that these power stations will have severe climate change impacts, the fact that South Africa does not need any new coal fired power capacity, and the evidence that these two projects will add around R20 billion to a least-cost energy system.
Four of South Africa's biggest private banks, Standard Bank, Nedbank, ABSA and FirstRand, as well as the Development Bank of South Africa, are all assessing the financing of one or both of these projects, despite their public expressions of support for the Paris Agreement, and their purported commitment to the transition to a low-carbon economy and/or to financing only environmentally and socially responsible projects.
In June 2018, Sasol, the JSE's largest greenhouse-gas emitter, refused to table a resolution submitted by shareholders for tabling at the company's 2018 AGM. The resolution would have asked shareholders to consider Sasol's massive greenhouse gas emissions (67.6 million tons in 2017), and to vote on a proposal for the company to provide much more comprehensive climate risk disclosure. Sasol has now committed to adopt the recommendations of the Task-Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, but these recommendations do not cover everything dealt with in the resolution, and it could be years before shareholders see meaningful results.
In September 2018, the Asset Owners Disclosure Project released a report ranking the world's 100 largest global pension funds on their approach to climate-related risks and opportunities. South Africa's Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) scored a "D", meaning it has "little or no response to climate change and its implications". This is particularly concerning given the size of the GEPF's investments, and its claim to be "among the leaders in socially responsible investment in South Africa".
It is now indisputable that climate change poses material financial risks for all investors. Pension funds in particular have a duty to invest in the long-term interests of their members, and should therefore be investing in a manner that stimulates and supports the transition to a low-carbon economy, and contributes to South Africa meeting its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
As the IPCC report makes clear, "the next few years are probably the most important in our history". The pace at which South Africa is moving means that, if we continue as we are, we will completely miss this opportunity for meaningful, sustainable change.
That companies are transparent around lobbying and trade association membership which aims to weaken climate obligations.
In contrast, most South African asset managers and institutional investors, including most of those which are signatories to the Principles for Responsible Investment, do not include a clearly articulated position on climate change in their investment policy statements. In fact, you won't even find the term "climate change" on many of their websites.
Climate change is not an "environmental problem". It is a global threat to us all, and failure to take robust action now will ensure that we leave a legacy of disaster for future generations. This is a challenge which requires action from each one of us, and shareholders are in a powerful position to take action which can effect change.
You can start by simply asking your asset manager or pension board for its public position on climate change, and for details of the carbon footprint of your portfolio.

It was the Christmas present Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) wanted most, and the perfect end to a year of river advocacy centered on the fight to protect our watershed from the threats posed by fracking.
On Dec. 11, the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors approved the adoption of setback requirements that protect county residents and their water resources from pollution arising from hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, commonly known as fracking. Their decision puts Westmoreland County on the same page with Richmond and King George counties, both of which have adopted similar measures.
The Westmoreland supervisors followed a planning commission recommendation and adopted an ordinance requiring setbacks between fracking operations and "designated Resource Protection Areas (RPA), wetlands, existing structures, public and private wellheads, and public infrastructure." The setbacks vary from 1,000 feet to 3,300 feet for critical resources such as public water sources.
Richmond County completely banned fracking in November, and King George County amended its zoning ordinance in 2016, establishing a setback of 1,000 feet for public groundwater supplies and 750 feet for tidal wetlands, important waters, occupied buildings and public roads. King George's decision made 91 percent of the county unavailable for fracking.
"We are extremely pleased the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors is a proactive partner in the effort to protect their citizens, their water resources, and the Rappahannock River," said FOR Executive Director Kathleen Harrigan.
FOR River Steward Richard Moncure has been a leader on this issue, and he is also hopeful the Northern Neck example will be mirrored across the river. Middle Peninsula localities like Essex and Caroline counties also face threats from fracking, and FOR has been working with them, too.


For several months, Senate has been working on a bill to reform the immigration system and is now getting ready to vote on it. While Republicans aren't exactly excited about giving out American citizenship to anyone other than older white Christian males, many of them still wish that the reform happens and helps improve the GOP's reputation among the fast-growing Hispanic voter block. So here are 10 Republican proposals to reform immigration.
1) Because the immigrants should have a path to citizenship, but not a blanket amnesty, the reform will offer young immigrants a way to win American citizenship via a Hunger Games-like contest.
2) Employers who have hired undocumented workers will punished by fines and having to hire only American workers from now on.
3) The Republican Party will try to reach out to Latino voters by rephrasing the party message so that it will resonate with Hispanics. Speaking of which, how do you say "get the hell back to your damn country" in Spanish?
4) People who want to live in this country must learn English. This means that those people who still don't know the difference between "There", "They're", and "Their" will be rounded up and deported. Their have been warned.
5) The path to citizenship should not be a cakewalk. Instead, anyone who wants to become a citizen should have to jump through hoops and hurdles – because our country only needs the immigrants who are physically fit.
6) For the guest worker program, United States Citizenship and Immigration Service will streamline the issuance of work permits and hang-around-the-water-cooler-and-surf-the-Internet-all-day permits.
7) To reverse the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, fence posts on the border will be equipped with "Bienvenidos a Mexico!" signs facing south.
8) Homeland Security should step up surveillance and deportations of the groups that are likely to be involved in violent terrorist acts. Judging by recent shootings in Newtown, Aurora, and Arizona, we should begin by deporting white Americans.
9) To protect the border, Border Patrol will need to hire 50,000 new agents. However, since the agency's budget had been cut as a part of sequester, the agency won't be able to afford to pay even the minimum wage to new hires – which will ensure that the number of undocumented workers in the country will immediately drop by 50,000.
10) Since the United States attracts immigrants simply by being one of the richest and most tolerant countries in the world, we can remove the incentive to immigrate to the US by making the country poorer and more bigoted.

Nobody is going to hire American workers… they are lazy and want breaks and money and all kinds of crazy stuff like that.
Ha, just like Aus. They complain there are no jobs but are too lazy to do any work that is available.
Hey… we may be lazy, but we invented the coffee break… and the eight hour work day… and the five day work week… okay… we are just lazy.
We also make the best junk food snacks. You can't take that away from us.
But it is all we have left. We used to be the best at lots of stuff.
Agreed maybe someone should..One of the things our country is still ranked TOP of the list at? Obesity..We have the most obese people in our country on the planet. To top that those of us who aren't obese? See the impact in our high , but excellent so I'm not complaining, insurance rates. As Americans we're excessive in all that we partake in..Guess never heard of too much of a good thing; can be a bad thing, huh?
I'm not even going to try.
Well, at least Americans invented all that, and that took some work.
Oh good, cause I'm not an American.
Not American either?… you are just full of surprises.
I am officially American now – but it wasn't always that way.
The way things are in the world, it is nice to know that some people still want to become Americans.
Change Spanish and Mexican to Indonesian etc and US to Aus and I think w on the same page.
Oh yeah, that too… Or maybe not.
To be honest, Australian Liberals are left of American Democrats. Your Teapublicans have shifted the whole political field so far to the right that centrist is not conservative.
That's very true. The entire political spectrum is so far to the right that it's just crazy. Stupid Teapublicans.
Some of our Teapublicans have pushed so far to the right that they've already pushed right through a mental asylum.
Ain't that the truth! They now inhabit a world untouched by the spelling and grammar fairies, too.
Too bad we have to live there instead.
The fairies are good to nice people… Batshit insane teabaggers aren't so lucky. That's why they fled.
Brilliant as usual. Numbers 1 and 8 are my favourites. I'm pretty sure there are many Republicans who would support an immigrant Gladiator fight to the death.
Thank you! I can't believe they haven't officially proposed it yet.
Republicans aren't keeping up with world news. Yesterday Britain invented the trick of charging 3000 GBP (yes, thousand…though they claim it will be only a deposit) for a UK visa for visitors from some countries. Apparently the idea is to use the money to deport lazy, complaining white folks who don't vote right and make room for more hard-working and happy immigrants who will not be able to vote.
I haven't seen this story yet, I'll look it up. It sounds like UK suffers from the overflow of tourists from some of these countries – because now to visit UK the tourists from these countries have to have 4000 or so pounds to be let into UK.
Does the same apply for its and it's? Love reading your work.
Thank you! I hope this policy won't apply to its and it's, because I could get deported for that.
Unlike these violent white people.
I love waking up to a new List. #1, waiting for the public-access feed of carnage. #4, yes, yes, yes! #10, I think we're well on our way.
Thank you – and I love waking up to your comments 🙂 #1 – I'm sure the ratings would blow away any competition.
Maybe we could enter an exchange program, wherein we bring in people who desperately want to become citizens because their countries are really that bad and we deport Republicans that want to succeed, act like whiny twits, etc. I'm thinking a total win-win there.
They would TOTALLY go for the Hunger Games. Not that long ago people watched executions while having picnic lunches. Come to think of it, some people will go watch executions even today. Talk about the ultimate "Survivor" show.
It's a pipe dream of my own to gather up all the people who brag how they achieved everything without the help of the government (and even despite the government interference), and ship them off somewhere where there is no functional government, like Somalia or Afghanistan, just to see how well they can do there without the government getting in the way.
I've watched the movie recently, and I am absolutely sure that real-life Hunger Games (it will probably be called Border Games in this version) will get good ratings. In fact, as I was watching it, I occasionally thought of the ways to make HG into a more watchable reality show.
I like your idea. The author said she got the idea for the HG book when switching channels between coverage of the Iraq war and reality TV.
It's really the cheapest and easiest option, and it will filter in only the smartest immigrants.
It's been proposed that building a giant wall along the US/Mexican border would keep out illegals from south of the border. People with an understanding of undertaking such a huge landscaping job have pointed out that we'll need a lot of Mexican and Central American day laborers to accomplish it. Others have pointed out that it would still be a feasible project, we just have to make sure they build the wall while standing on their side of it.
I'm thinking it could be a giant wall of ice, like in The Game of Thrones. That way, all the immigrant workers can have permanent jobs in keeping it maintained.
I think there should be mandatory tests as a part of any election, asking basic questions like whether Earth is flat, whether Medicare is a government program, whether 1st amendment allows freedom from religion, and so on.
I love No. 4. That should eliminate much of white America aged 18-35, who haven't learned much in high school. It also eliminates phone texting which can't discriminate the various "there's" and often makes mistakes.
The Unites States already has a self-deportation program, since anyone is free to leave the country. The only country that doesn't have this program is North Korea.
I really love all of these but number 4? Truth is a dangerous thing. Why should we require immigrants to speak English? Most of us can't speak it anymore. You might be tempted to think it's related to the income level or level of education. While I will admit that you are more likely to get better English from someone with a PHD; it isn't a given any longer. I have had discussions with my children's high school teachers that have left me in tears of grief for what they do to the language. TEACHERS.
It goes without saying that our educational standards are in serious need of adjustment but it isn't just that. Our entire educational system needs to be redesigned to accommodate the new technologies and their effect on the student population.
As an immigrant, I used to have a lot of conversation like "How many years have you been in this country? X years? Your English is very good!". The way things are going, I may soon start complimenting the native-born Americans on their English.
Seriously though. Where did you hatch? What area of the country do you live in?
I am from Baltimore, Maryland originally, though I have been gone from there for many years now and live in a more Northern part of Maryland.
You can refuse any request for personal information without insulting me. I understand the need to limit what we reveal in this venue.
I love Nos. 1 and 8. Perhaps we can combine them. Hunger Games-like contests between crazy white men with guns.
That's an excellent idea! The problem is that crazy white people with guns see each other as less of a threat, than, say, an unarmed black teenager.
They can defend themselves, as Zimmerman's lawyer did, with knock knock jokes.
I thought the joke was funny – just way out of place. If Zimmerman's lawyer doesn't get it, then Zimmerman got exactly the lawyer he deserves.
Yup. One of the keys to humor is never trying at the wrong time. Zimmerman's lawyer didn't get that memo.
So that we finally have a good reason for why the country needs to be in decline.
Freakin' hilarious as always, dude. I think numbers 4 and 8 are my faves. If both are enacted, the majority of the country would be deported. I like the hunger games one too. That one really puts this into perspective.
Thank you! I do think that people who yell "Them dam imgrints oughta learn English!!" need to learn English themselves. And while they're at it, give them the civics and history test that citizenship applicants have to take before becoming citizens.
I helped my wife study for the citizenship test. It's harder than people expect. I know a lot of born and raised citizens wouldn't be able to pass it.
I had to pass it myself, and there were some difficult questions, like "name 4 wars the US fought in 1800's".
1812; Mexican-American; Spanish-American; Civil War.
Tougher than it sounds. I almost missed the Spanish-American War. I always think of it as a turn of the century conflict but it was actually fought in 1898.
I remember History class. So many of the kids 40 years ago paid no attention and couldn't even answer this one question. Pass a test? No way.
I'm sure if you find the test, you'll be able to answer every (or almost every question), but an average American probably will miss quite a few. By the way, I don't think there was a question about the wars in 1900's – probably because there were so many that it could get very embarrassing if someone started naming them all. I counted at least 10 and probably forgot some of them.
Perfect. But perhaps we can add to this list the H1B, L1 and J1 programs?
No, that sounds way to sensible to actually pass.
Yes, I'm sure it was the undocumented people who crashed the economy, voted to elect Obama, caused 9/11, bombed Pearl Harbor, and crucified Jesus. I just have to wonder, before those undocumented people came here, weren't people still commiting crimes in the US? Or was it just the people who were undocumented at that time, but once they got documents, they magically stopped committing crimes?
And of course, every human in the Northern and Southern America had descended from someone who immigrated from somewhere else. Even Native Americans aren't exactly native, but crossed over from Asia thousands of years ago. So everyone in the US is an immigrant or a descendant of one, it's just a question of how long ago it happened.
Preach! So well & beautifully said..I concur 100% and to the N degree. Exclamation mark & PERIOD. Might have to borrow that response..

After growing up in Smithfield, RI, he attended La Salle Academy (1963-1965) and entered Our Lady of Providence High School Seminary (1965-1967). He continued for one year at Our Lady of Providence College Seminary (1967-1968) before leaving to attend the University of Rhode Island, where he earned a BA in Psychology (1971) and an MA in Experimental Psychology (1975).
After several years in "civilian life" – including parish lay ministry and early involvement (1973) with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement – Father John again felt called to the priesthood. He completed his seminary studies at the Gregorian University, Rome, in the process earning a Bachelor of Sacred Theology (1980) and an MA in Theology (1981). He was ordained to the priesthood in the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, Providence, on June 12, 1982.
Father John has served as assistant pastor at Our Lady of Grace, Johnston (1982-1986) and St. Matthew's, Cranston (1986-1991); chaplain at Rhode Island Hospital (1991-1998); and assistant pastor at St. Elizabeth's, Bristol (1998-2001). Prior to coming to St. Lucy, he was assistant pastor, then pastor, at St. Anthony Parish, Pawtucket, where he served from 2001-2008. As a priest, he has also continued his involvement with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement, eventually serving as Diocesan Liaison.

Looking for a real webcam spy blocker? And you want it to isolate your web camera and also microphone completely? So, here, I'll show you the best webcam blocker that works.
No matter if you use want to chat or to communicate with someone online, using a webcam cover won't do anything for your privacy. Anyone with advanced techniques can access your microphone and cam even if you use Facebook, Skype or others, and there is no way that blocks you microphone like this Webcam Blocker tool.
With millions of attacks every month, the internet becomes the easiest way to attack people and access their personal data. That happens, especially, if people are not well protected and well-educated, technically, also in other cases.
But, when it comes to using a webcam, the majority of people forget that there is no secure webcam software that comes with antivirus and other tools.
At the same time, people can use the other methods, to protect themselves by putting an object on their camera like a webcam cover hoping that it will help. But, they forget that hackers can listen to them directly from their microphones, and record what they're saying.
It's a hard life with all these problems, we can't stay always hiding our devices and controlling things. In the end, Government agencies and hackers can access and see what people are doing whenever they want.
Luckily, if you're one of those who care about their safety and all the people they love, you can use a webcam security software called Webcam Blocker. It's a sophisticated tool that blocks any access and let you control the cameras and microphones that you want to whitelist.
The software was created especially, for that mission, it's to secure your webcam at 100%, without forgetting your microphones that will be protected also. This tool works on Windows machines, and it can be installed on both desktops and laptops.
How to secure your WebCam and Microphone?
The good news is that you don't have to do any complicated job or technical settings. All you have to do is install this software. Then, it will detect all the cameras and microphone devices that are connected to your computer.
You need to check the devices that you want to use, and all the others will be automatically blocked. The webcam blocker creates a powerful Firewall that filter, and detect every single connection to your webcam and verify that no other person, or software, is using your devices.
The result is simply a total safety, it works with all the people, no matter what they have as knowledge. Even, a child can use this powerful software that makes the life easier and safer.
There is no any other software that blocks webcam access like this one. Of course, you can find lots of methods, but, remember that antivirus sellers can't secure your webcam, even, if they list that in their settings.
The big problem with cam access is that hackers manipulate the antivirus, and then, they get easy access to every call they want. The same thing applies to all the people who try to see you, and the whole room when you're connecting to the internet, or even when you're offline (if they have advanced technics).
Social media and especially, Facebook, is the first source of spying. People can record your conversation, or your full session when you talk to others. I recommend this tested Webcam Blocker to everyone who wants to stay safe, and happy.
In my experience, this is the only tool that guarantees the 100% of protection and safety for your web camera. The reason is simple, this security software focuses only, on your camera and microphones, and it puts all its resources and control there.
This is the perfect cam security solution for your children, as it works professionally without complicated configuration. You don't need to tell kids how to use the tool. So, every child can use the computer with total security for the cam.
When hackers want to connect to your camera, even, if they have your IP for a long time, they will be blocked. So, it will be impossible for anyone to see that you have a camera and microphone on your computer. No one can access or find any information and that's what people are looking for.
Thus, you still use your webcam and microphone and do what you want to do as usual. The only difference here is that you will have a powerful webcam spy blocker that blocks access to your Cam and microphone at once. Of course, this is an easy to install tool and it will never affect your laptop performance or speed. It's a complete webcam and microphone spy blocker software for Windows. In addition, you can install on your own laptops and you can add it to kids' laptops to protect them.
Does a webcam cover work?
Unfortunately, a lot of people still use this old technic to prevent cam spy. However, they neglect that fact that their microphone is always a target. In addition, with social media websites, live chat etc… No everyone uses the ethnic eve time for years. So, there should be sometimes where they forget to close the webcam cover. That way, a spy software can use all the camera and laptop or phone resources to spy on you.
So, again, using a webcam cover won't work especially if you use social media website and live chat. There is always the risk of being a victim of spying even when you chat with someone on Facebook, Skype, or others.
Have you tried another webcam spy blocker tool? If yes, then, make sure to talk about it in your comment. I tried lots of apps, and tool and no one worked like the above one.

April 28, Day 12 (2). Madrid. Prado Museum and Reina Sofia.
See Travel Itinerary for a rationale of this trip, a who's who of those travelling.
We were fairly early at the Prado and the queue was short. Once inside, we went through a screening process and left our backpacks at a central depository.
There is no way we could do justice to the collection in the few hours we had planned, so we made some ruthless choices, looking mainly at paintings by El Greco (1541-1614), Diego Velázquez de Silva(1599-1660) and Francisco de Goya (1746-1828).
Although Margaret and I had been several times to the Prado, it was still a bewildering experience, even with a floor plan, to get our bearings. Getting a little lost did mean, however, that we could admire paintings by other European artists.
After a while, we found our way to the El Greco rooms. El Greco was actually born on the island of Crete, but his Greek name (Domenicos Theotocopoulos) led to El Greco: the Greek. He arrived in Spain around 1577, after stops in Venice and Rome, and settled in Toledo, Spain's spiritual heart. It was here where he produced his most famous paintings, many intended as altar pieces commissioned by the church or church dignitaries.
El Greco's paintings are amongst the most easily recognisable in the world of art.
El Greco. Adoration of the shepherds.
Notable in his paintings are swirling clouds, glowing greens and reds and a peculiarly luminous white and, especially in martyrdom themes, an accumulation of bodies which lift us into a world of mystical ecstasy.
If El Greco is the painter of Spain's religious fervour in the second half of the 16th century, Velázquez is his secular equivalent in the first half of the 17th century. Born in Seville in 1599, Velázquez was established in Madrid in 1623, having won the attention of Spain's most powerful minister to the king, and fellow Sevillian, the Count-Duke of Olivares. In the same year, Velázquez painted a portrait of the king. The portrait pleased the king, and by the end of 1623, Velázquez was confirmed as court painter.
Although the Prado has the largest collection of Velázquez's paintings, we decided to concentrate on just four: Las Meninas (Maids of Honour 1656), La Rendición de Breda (The Surrender of Breda, before 1635), Las Hilanderas (The Tapestry Weavers /Spinners or Fable of Arachne 1657), and Los borrachos (The Drinkers/ Topers/Bacchus 1628).
Velazquez. Las Meninas (Maids of Honour).
Velázquez has been called a "painter's painter," i.e. the consummate artist, and in a poll of art experts held by the Illustrated London News in August 1985 his painting Maids of Honour was voted the world's greatest art work. It is indeed a remarkable painting. What we found fascinating was the way Velázquez, looking directly out at us from his easel to the left, drew us into the picture.
When I first saw The Maids of Honour many years ago, it was in a room by itself with a large mirror on the wall opposite it. Looking into the mirror, I got the distinct impression that I was in the picture. I'm sorry that the painting's present location doesn't allow for that bit of magic.
The Surrender of Breda (a town in Holland taken by the Spaniards in 1625, after a long siege) drew our eyes to the two central figures, Justin of Nassau, the Dutch leader and Ambrosio Spínola, the Spanish commander. In this painting, we don't see the dark side of war, but its potential for noble action.
Surrender of Breda
Minerva is spinning to the left, the young Arachne is to the right.
Like the Maids of Honour, there are different interpretations of The Spinners. We liked the one that depicts the myth of Minerva (or Pallas Athena), goddess of the Arts, and Arachne, a young woman famous for her skill in weaving. So proud was Arachne of her skill that she even boasted of being better than Minerva. Minerva then disguised herself as an old woman to admonish Arachne but to no avail. Minerva won the ensuing contest between the two, and Arachne was transformed into a spider as punishment. What is interesting is how Velazquez has "demythified" the classical world of gods, and brought them down to earth.
In The Drinkers/Bacchus, we enjoyed Velázquez's irreverent treatment of classical mythology.
Los borrachos (The Drinkers). Idealised gods and humans meet.
A mischievous looking Bacchus looks away while placing a garland on a kneeling drinker who is accompanied by fellow drinkers. These are wonderful looking characters who might have stepped out of a picaresque novel, so much in vogue in Spain at this time.
Goya is the art giant of the 18th century. Like Velázquez, Goya became a court painter but he embraced all levels of Spanish society, from the underworld of prostitutes to the salons of the nobility.
Goya: The kite/ La cometa. An early work based on tapestry designs.
Born in the Age of Reason, Goya painted with the passion of a romantic. Saints and sinners, the Inquisition, the church, bullfighting, war, Spanish customs, human foibles and superstitions, ignorance, pretentiousness, all came under his critical eye. Goya tears away the façade of society and reveals the darker side of human nature.
Goya's Third of May 1808. Painted 1814. One of the most famous of all war paintings.
With Goya, war is not heroic but savage and unfeeling. Just look at one of the most disturbing war paintings ever produced, The Third of May, 1808 (actually painted in 1814).
Goya does not flatter; if anything he "demythifies". Royalty and nobility are painted warts and all.
Goya: The family of Charles IV
Look at the painting of The Family of Charles IV. The French novelist Theophile Gautier famously described the king and queen as looking like "the corner baker and his wife after they have won the lottery" despite wearing the robes of royalty. The king –who is not even the focal point of the work– wears a vacant expression, and the queen –with her hard set mouth, double chin, prominent neck and large arms– is anything but regal.
If El Greco painted with mystical passion and Velázquez with dignified tranquility, Goya painted with visceral emotion. I usually end up drained if I spend too much time with Goya. And for pre-teens like Andrew and Alex, a little Goya goes a long way.
John: The Prado: As one of the greatest art museums in Europe, it is a must-see although don't try to see too much at a time. It can seem overwhelming when you realises just how much significant art from so many periods are housed here. We spent around 3 hours today and I would say that that was pretty much perfect for one day. We wanted to expose our children to some of the master,s and I also wanted to be sure to see a few of my old favourites again. For me, this is a must see if you are to be in Madrid.
We left the Prado and headed south for the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, about 10-15 minutes away. A wintry chill hung in the air, and streets in this area were closed to traffic owing to the Madrid marathon. We passed the Botanical Gardens, crossed at the Plaza del Emperador Carlos/ Charles V and were soon at the Calle de Santa Isabel, where the Reina Sofía is located. If you take the metro/ subway, you get off at Atocha Station (also the railway hub for the south).
Like the Prado, the Reina Sofía occupies an 18th-century building, originally known as the Hospital General de San Carlos. It underwent major renovation and opened in the 1980s with emphasis on contemporary Spanish art. In 1992, two ultramodern glass elevators were added to its exterior.
There was a long queue when we got to the museum, and waiting in the cold wasn't a pleasant prospect. Fortunately, we learned that we were in the queue for a Dalí exhibition, so we quickly joined a smaller line-up for general entry and soon were inside. After a rather chaotic experience finding a locker, we were able to move on.
Although the Reina Sofía has works by Dalí, Miró, Gris, Tapiés and others we were there exclusively to see Picasso's Guernica, one of the most famous art pieces of the 20th century, and perhaps the most horrifying denunciation of the atrocities of war ever painted. Commissioned by the Spanish government to paint something for the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World Exhibition of 1937, Picasso spent months seeking inspiration around the idea of "painter and studio." However, the decision was made for him following the near annihilation on April 26, 1937, of the sleepy Basque market town of Guernica by German planes helping General Francisco Franco overthrow the legitimately elected Spanish government. Picasso was outraged and, after working feverishly on numerous sketches produced a monumental 11½ by 25½ foot black and white canvass by the end of June.
Following Picasso's wish that Guernica only go to Spain after the return of democracy, the painting was exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York until 1981. It then passed to the Prado before finally being transferred to the Reina Sofía in 1992.
Picasso's Guernica. In the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid.
After seeing the smallish sketches and studies that led to the final product, we entered room 206 and were taken aback at the sheer size of and violence depicted in the painting.
We had just seen dignity portrayed in Velázquez's Surrender of Breda, and cold blooded killing in Goya's Third of May 1808, but nothing could prepare us for the totally dehumanised destruction and suffering depicted in Guernica. This was actually not so much about the town, Guernica, but about Picasso's view of war. We have no clue that this refers to a specific event, at a specific time and in a specific place other than the title Guernica. By removing these common features, Picasso made his painting universal and timeless: this is what all wars do, create horror, destruction and suffering.
By the time we left the Reina Sofía, it was late afternoon and traffic had returned to normal. It was still chilly as we walked back up the Paseo del Prado. The paintings had clearly had an impact on Andrew and Alex, and they talked enthusiastically and intelligently about the different kinds of works they had seen.
On the way up the Paseo del Prado, we noticed what seemed to be a garden hanging on the wall of one of the buildings! This indeed is what it turned out to be, clinging to an exhibit hall funded by the Caixa (Credit Union) Forum, and installed in 2008.
At the Hotel Palace, we turned left and proceeded past the Greek-style Cortes (Spanish Parliament) building along the Carrera San Jerónimo to the Puerta del Sol. Here Margaret and I separated from John, Leslie, Andrew and Alex. They headed for the Palacio Real (Royal Palace) which is not the home of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía, although it is still used on state occasions.
Madrid: Royal Palace.
I once did some research in the palace library, and took the opportunity to see the treasures of one of the most lavish royal palaces of Europe.
Margaret and I went to look for somewhere for a late lunch and ended up in the Plaza Mayor. We had a very enjoyable meal at El Portal, right at the eastern entrance to the square. Tea for each of us, two bowls of hearty Galician style soup (caldo) brimming with potatoes, cabbage and chunks of chorizo (perfect for the weather) followed by a generous plate of crisply fried, lightly battered anchovies (nothing like the tinned variety!). For 24 euros, it was a good find, especially considering that touristy venues like the Plaza Mayor are not the cheapest or necessarily the best places to eat.
It was raining by the time we got back to Hotel Los Condes and John, Leslie, Andrew and Alex arrived soon after. After some discussion, Margaret and Leslie decided –since we were leaving the next day– to do some laundry. Now, self-service launderettes (or laundromats) are very difficult to find in Spain, and using hotel facilities (which usually turn out to be contracted private laundries) is expensive. So, we were delighted to discover, just a few yards away from the hotel, a laudromat, with clear instructions in English as well as Spanish.
After helping carry the clothes to the laundromat, John, Andrew and I left to have a bite to eat. Although not particularly hungry, I was persuaded by Andrew's enthusiasm because by now he was something of a connoisseur of fried, battered calamares (squid), and he, mum, dad and sister had found a place –bar/cafe El Jamón on the Gran Vía, about 5 minutes from our hotel– that made great bocadillos (baguette-style sandwich) of calamares. He was right. A glass of beer and a couple of delicious bocadillos later, we walked back to the laundry, just in time to carry the now clean clothes back to the hotel!

Q: Retrieving values from multiple text inputs in jquery I have multiple text boxes and textareas of which I want to add the values to an array.
With the way I am doing it at the moment I do manage to get the values of the text boxes but not the text areas.
How can I retrieve the values of multiple textarea?
<input type="text" name="fields[]"
<input type="text" name="fields[]"
<input type="text" name="fields[]"

<textarea name="areas[]"
<textarea name="areas[]"
<textarea name="areas[]"

This is the Jquery with which I do this.
var fields = [];
$('input[name^=fields]').each(function () {
    fields.push($(this).val());
});
var areas = [];
$('input[name^=areas]').each(function () {
    areas.push($(this).val());
});

I do manage to get the text box values but not the Multiline values(text area)
How can I do this?

A: Well obviously textarea's are not <input>. You should try something like:
var areas = [];
$('textarea[name^=areas]').each(function () {
    areas.push($(this).val());
});

A: But the best practice would be providing a class name for textarea and accessing values as follows :
<textarea class="areas"></textarea>
<textarea class="areas"></textarea>
<textarea class="areas"></textarea>

   var areas = new Array();
   $('.areas').each(function () {
         areas.push($(this).val());
   });

Check this :  http://jsfiddle.net/Q9tm6/17/


works for other wfs too!
51sin/15bd + obtaining a good amount of the PvP soul = beast mode assassin. I love ganking on mine too and was a spec I was looking forward to going live .

So guys, where do you put YOUR 15 BD points into with 1.7?
I find you get energy starved with Sin/BD.
You got at least 2 HK pieces and the crystal ?
Go use Final Blow instead and move Deadly Dance points into MM for a bit extra ST damage. Free, permanent EW is a killer and together with FB's higher damage beats DD.
That's actually a really good idea. Use two of your Hk relic pieces - preferably two pieces that have the least valor in pvp gear. And the Hk crystal. I'm gonna try that later.
Also I been using 51 sin 15 mm lately. I took 1/1 repelling shot and 1/1 OTD but if you can do without those, just go straight up the left for max dps. Actually I can probably do without repelling shot. I think I'm gonna change around my spec. I definitely want OTD though.
Anyone else having problems with slip away? Seems like I'm always popping out of stealth after using it for no reason.
Use Head & Gloves as they have Hit on them.
You can also run 4pc, as opening with Jagged - Puncture - Impale puts four DOTs on the target.
In any way, I only recommend using Charge and Barrage from BD - rest pure Sin.
Ok I should have put 5 points more into bladedancer but I wanted to be original and used those on marksman.
I want to overcomplicate stuff and that is sometimes dumb.
Its hard for me to estimate what 25% armor pen is going to equate to damage wise. Is there any rule of thumb?
... the passives are o/c gravy, too.
tested 15 MM vs 15 BD all day and (for me) the tools for pvp / burst dmg seemed to shine alot more with BD.
But in all fairness both specs destroyed in wfs.
Making inf a PA was the single largest buff 51 sin has gotten to date. <3 Trion.

Lalo App – Secure App To Preserving Memories
Leave a Comment / Don't miss / By selimkhan
In this article, I'm going to talk about the Lalo App, a family-friendly digital memorial scrapbook. Lalo allows you to save and share photos, video clips, voicemails, and more. If you're wondering how Lalo works, read on. You'll learn about the app's advantages and how it can make family memories last a lifetime.
Lalo is a digital scrapbook
Lalo is a free and private online space where users can share photos, videos, and other family memories. Founded by Juan Medina, Lalo is named after Medina's father. Medina grew up in Brazil, and studied economics and Latin American studies at the University of Delaware. He then pursued an MBA from the University of Chicago's Boot School of Business. After moving to Seattle, Medina began his tech career at Amazon. He was responsible for leading big retail categories for nearly a decade before creating the app.
The app's creators are aware of the growing needs of seniors and the aging population in the U.S., with the category of people 65 and older set to grow by 40 percent in the next two decades. Because of these growing needs, Lalo is ready to expand to a wider audience. In the meantime, it helps users celebrate their lives. After all, these days, more than ever, people want to remember the good times and the good ones.
It allows users to share voicemails, video clips, and other content
If you have recently lost a loved one, Lalo is a great way to keep their memory alive with digital memorial capsule. The app offers a private digital space for sharing voicemails, video clips, and other content with your family. Its ad-free interface allows you to preserve all kinds of content and makes sharing easier than ever before. You can choose to communicate with family members privately and create private networks of only selected friends and family. If you don't want to share private content with others, you can always request to delete it.
This app was developed by Juan Medina after an eight-year stint at Amazon. His father died when he was young and he didn't know him well enough to pass on the stories he had collected. So he decided to create Lalo to preserve his father's memories and share them with others. Founder Juan Medina's family has been using Lalo in multiple generations. It's even popular with pet owners.
It's a place to connect
With Lalo, you can collect and share all sorts of materials. From family stories to video recordings, you can even memorialize your loved ones. The app can also create private networks so that you can communicate without revealing too much information to anyone. This way, you can ensure that your loved ones can continue to hear your voice long after they pass away. If you wish to keep your family's memories safe and private, you should consider using Lalo.
The Lalo App offers a private ad-free space to share and discover your family memories. With its ad-free interface, Lalo makes it easy to share stories about your departed loved ones. You can also share pictures and videos to make the memories even more special. With Lalo, you can also make private tributes and remember loved ones through video chat.
It's a family-friendly app
Juan Medina, a former Amazon employee, created the Lalo App to help people remember their loved ones. After his father died from Multiple Sclerosis, Juan Medina realized that the stories he learned from his father would be lost forever. Juan was inspired to create Lalo, which serves as a private, digital scrapbook for family members. Lalo allows users to post pictures, videos, and text to their memories for free, and will soon charge for additional storage space.
Founder Juan Medina's passion for the app led him to create Lalo, a private space online where people can share stories and photos of their loved ones. He grew up in Brazil, and studied Latin American studies and economics at the University of Delaware. Afterward, he completed an MBA at the University of Chicago's Boot School of Business. After graduating, Medina moved to Seattle where he began his career in tech, where he led big retail categories for nearly ten years.

Q: Why can't I install 10.04 on a system that already has 8.04? Ubuntu 10.04 is beautiful. I love it. I am dying to install it on my PC, alongside the existing Ubuntu 8.04 (from which I write this message right now).
But... it won't let me!
When I reach the partitioning stage (manual!) Ubuntu 10.04 sees my two HDDs as one RAID volume.
It doesn't see all the partitions I already have in place in /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
Even Windows 7 doesn't behave like this... (yes, I actually managed to install Windows 7 64-bit in dual-boot configuration with Ubuntu 8.04 on this same system).
Note: GParted on Ubuntu 10.04 (live CD) sees the partition intended for Ubuntu 10.04 (/dev/sda4) perfectly, but is unable to format it.
Note: I also removed that partition trying to reformat it via GParted once 10.04 LiveCD is loaded. It didn't help.
I believe that the problem lies in Ubuntu "deciding for me" that the HDDs should be "seen" as a RAID, hence any partition is seen by GParted as "busy" or "locked".
Any idea how to solve this problem?

A: Since the drive was part of a raid configuration at some time, you need to remove the RAID meta-data from the drive. I had to do this with a used drive I purchased. The procedure I followed erases the data on the drive. However, it does work. The raid meta-data should be towards the end of the drive space. This command erases the last 10GB of the drive when run as root, but you should back up your drive to preserve the data you do not want to lose:
Please replace /dev/??? with the correct drive, such as /dev/sda
sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M seek=150000 skip=150000 of=/dev/???

A: Problem solved. See solution here.
