Religious involvement in corrections dates back to Victorian prisoners, since the 1850s by the major Christian denominations. More recently (1990s), religious advisers representing Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Orthodox and Uniting beliefs have also provided services. The provision of these services enables prisoners to maintain contact with their families and the community, provides a link between prisoners and their faith community, support in times of crisis, liaison with other support services and support to prison staff.

The governor of Iraq's biggest province, who was kidnapped earlier this month, was found dead along with his militant captors after a clash with United States forces, said government spokesman Laith Kubba on Tuesday. Kubba said the body of Anbar Governor Raja Nawaf was found tied to a gas canister in a house near the town of Rawa two days ago. He was discovered after US forces conducted a routine sweep through a neighbourhood and met fierce resistance from insurgents in the house. Authorities do not know how Nawaf died but it was likely that concrete fell on him after the clashes triggered explosives in the house, said Kubba. http:// rantburg.com/default.asp?D=6/1/2005&C=Iraq-Jordan#120482

Far and away, the best thing about tablet PCs is their mobility. You can take and use them anywhere you go, the same way you would take a notebook and pen. That means that when your boss bumps into you in the hallway and gives you a number of assignments, you can write them down. In meetings you don't have to hide your face behind the monitor of your laptop because you can lay the tablet PC flat on the table. For students, this mobility is great - you can study your notes while you're waiting in lines or even in the car.

Until my PC loads within 50 milliseconds it not fast enough. We don’t have that yet but instead of increasing the core speed of the entire main board above 133Mhz or increasing the data path above 64 bits or correcting any problems, just add another processor and call it new. This is not a speed increase it is another trick to make us think this is the best technology has to offer. We have had dual processor system and Hyperthreading out for years. There is still very few software manufactures that write software that takes advantage of this technology. How many more years will it take software manufactures to select the option in the complier to enable multipliable processors support.
