JEAN HILL GREENE, ADRIENNE
M. BROWN, and JANETTAROSE
L. GREENE,
Plaintiffs
v
.
Wake County
No. 03 CVS 001017
MARITZA HICKS, individually
and MARITZA HICKS, Executrix
of the Estate of Vivian Lenora
Burt,
Defendants
Ligon and Hinton, by George Ligon, Jr., for plaintiffs.
Boxley, Bolton & Garber, LLP, by Kenneth C. Haywood, for defendants.
BRYANT, Judge.
Jean Hill Greene, Adrienne M. Brown, and Janettarose L. Greene (plaintiffs) appeal an order filed 23 March 2004, granting summary judgment in favor of Maritza Hicks (Hicks) in her individual capacity and in her capacity as executrix of the Estate of Vivian Lenora Burt (defendants).
The parties to this action are the beneficiaries of Vivian Lenora Burt's (decedent's) will. Hicks, the great-niece of decedent, was appointed as executrix of decedent's estate pursuant to the will. Article V, Section B of the will provided that Hicks,in addition to powers authorized by the North Carolina General Statutes, had the power to do everything [she] deem[ed] advisable, even though it would not be authorized under the North Carolina General Statutes for fiduciaries [or] under any statute or other rule of law.
On 2 April 2001, Hicks filed the inventory for decedent's estate. At the time of decedent's death, she owned furniture valued at $1,500.00; real property valued at $35,000.00; and $8,228.78 in a joint banking account. To satisfy the debts of the estate which totaled $11,851.00, Hicks determined it was in the best interest of the estate to sell the real property.
Hicks retained Attorney Paul Carruth who prepared a deed for the real property, and transferred title to Yvonne Bridges on 1 November 2001. Hicks contacted the beneficiaries on 13 November 2001, and apprised them that the real property had been sold. She mailed a copy of the will, a draft of the final account, and checks made payable to each plaintiff according to their percentage of the net estate as provided in the will. Hicks informed plaintiffs that they were to cash their checks by 30 November 2001, so she could close the estate by 2 January 2002. Plaintiffs were represented by counsel who requested, and was provided, certain information by Hicks prior to plaintiffs depositing of beneficiary checks. Hicks filed her final account on 27 December 2001, and was discharged as personal representative of the estate.
Plaintiffs instituted this action against defendants on 24 January 2003, alleging fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. Bothparties presented motions for summary judgment. These motions came for hearing at the 23 February 2004 civil session of Wake County Superior Court with the Honorable Orlando F. Hudson, Jr., presiding. By order filed 23 March 2004, summary judgment was entered in favor of defendants. Plaintiffs filed notice of appeal on 5 April 2004.

Alpha & Omega Ministries Apologetics Blog
The "All Rome" Expanded Edition of the Dividing Line
03/29/2007 - James WhiteDespite having a new phone system installed, we managed to put together a really educational and useful program today without any major problems at all. I replied to an e-mail from a convert to Catholicism over the course of the first half hour, and started reviewing a recent Catholic Answers Live program where, once again, no effort was extended to accurately represent the non-Catholic position and the same surface-level, tired, worn-out, and oft-refuted arguments were presented. In responding to the e-mail I had read a post on the Envoy web board, and the author called in. We spoke for a full half an hour. This is the kind of conversation that drives certain folks nuts. It was focused, friendly, without rancor. But, it was not fluffy. Nobody was playing fast and loose with the truth. We just discussed important issues honestly. Since that took us past our normal time, we went long to get a chance to speak with a brother from Georgia about Matthew 16:18 thereafter. Definitely a program to listen to if you are interested in the Roman Catholic field of study and apologetics. Here's the program (free/high quality).

Aircraft Ownership
Kestrel seeks to tap into Wichita workforce
Often dubbed the “Air Capital of the World,” Wichita, Kan., has taken several severe blows since the economic downturn that started in 2008, with aircraft manufacturers including Cessna, Hawker Beechcraft, and Bombardier laying off thousands. The layoffs continue, with Hawker Beechcraft just days ago announcing a round of 150 more employees, according to The Wichita Eagle.
An area with so many skilled workers with extensive aviation manufacturing knowledge is a prime target for aircraft companies that are hiring. Kestrel Aircraft Co. is seeking to tap into that base by hosting a job fair in Wichita May 15 through 17. As AOPA reported in January, Kestrel plans to have 600 employees by 2016.
The company, led by Cirrus co-founder Alan Klapmeier, has facilities in Brunswick, Maine, and Superior, Wis.; the Kestrel K-350 aircraft will be built in Superior. The six-seat composite turboprop should cruise at more than 300 knots. (See “Compelling Kestrel” in the February 2011 AOPA Pilot.)
The job fair takes place at the Holiday Inn – Wichita East and kicks off with an informational session from 6 to 7 p.m. on May 15; open recruiting will take place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 16 and 17. Kestrel has positions open at each location for engineering and manufacturing.

Evidence-Based Case Study Guidelines for Couple and Family Psychology®
The clinical case study may be defined as a detailed analysis of the therapy conducted with a couple or family that will be instructive, may be exemplary or cautionary, and stresses factors contributing to either success or failure of the treatment. Because evidence-based clinical case studies can be difficult to do well, the following guidelines are provided:
1. The case study report should include several outcome measures assessing functioning across multiple domains, as well as relevant process measures evaluated at multiple times across treatment.
At minimum the case study report should include the following:
- A standardized measure of family/couple functioning from the perspective of the couple/family;
- A standardized outcome measure of global functioning;
- A standardized outcome measure of the target symptom (i.e. depression, marital conflict, parenting stress, child behavior); and
- One process measure (i.e. therapeutic alliance) evaluated on at least three separate occasions during treatment.
2. Specific outcome data should be presented with consideration of clinically significant change methodology (Jacobson et al., 1999).
Three questions (further explained below) should be addressed:
- At the end of treatment did the couple/family end up in a range that renders them indistinguishable from non-clinical or well-functioning couples/families?
- Was the magnitude of the change sufficient to be meaningful, i.e. statistically reliable, as determined by the Reliability Change Index (RCI)?
- What clinical outcome status may be concluded from the data?
Patients may be considered to have moved to the well-functioning range if their pre-treatment scores fell within the clinical range but have shifted post-treatment to the nonclinical range as defined by the measure employed.
The RCI is equal to the individual's score before intervention minus their score after intervention then divided by the standard error of the difference of the test(s) being used. If the RCI is greater than 1.96, then the difference in the scores would be considered to be significant. Calculation of the RCI can be done by hand; however, programs to assist are readily available. See Reliable change criterion calculator, for example.
Outcome status may be considered Recovered, Improved but not Recovered, or Deteriorated at the end of treatment.
- Recovered classification is appropriate when at the end of treatment clients' score within a range that is considered nonclinical, and the magnitude of change (RCI) is reliable.
- Improved but not Recovered classification is appropriate when the client shows statistically significant change (RCI) but ends therapy still somewhat dysfunctional as measured on post-test scores.
- The Deteriorated classification is appropriate when post-treatment scores drop within or into the clinical range and the deterioration is of reliable magnitude. Score changes that are not of reliable magnitude should not be deemed clinically significant change.
3. Clinical significance methodology is often discussed in the literature in terms of individual pre-post treatment scores consistent with individual treatment. Couple and family assessment and therapy present the challenge of measuring clinically significant change in a dyad or a group of family members. Case study authors may average scores to present couple or family-wide clinically significant change or may present individual family member change scores.
It is appreciated that in a multi-member system couple or family-wide change can be difficult to achieve. Clinically significant change in the target symptom and some, but not all, individuals should not be viewed to invalidate the instructional value of the case study. In this situation, however, the author may wish to categorize the outcome of the couple/family as Improved but not Recovered.
4. Submission of both successful and unsuccessful treatment cases is encouraged. In addition, it might be quite instructive to compare and contrast the technical interventions that occurred during a positive change case with that of a clinically unchanged or deteriorated case using the same approach to treatment.
5. Verbatim clinical dialogue between the couple/family and therapist highlighting key interventions and mechanisms of change and that highlight the specific approach to treatment should be provided. Discussion of therapeutic interventions should not be presented from a global or abstract perspective.
6. Appropriate informed consent must be obtained from clients prior to case study submission.

I love this kind of stuff! It always makes me want one, but then once I buy it, it turns out to be a piece of junk.
I have the Total Pillow and it is awesome. I use it as a convenient face donut when snoozing on the seatback tray table when I fly. I sit on it to boost my short self when I'm in a car that doesn't have an adjustable enough driver's seat. I use it as a neck pillow when I read in bed at home. Seriously, I am all about the Total Pillow.
A scrap piece of plywood works just as well than buying the Furniture Fix.
Snappaloosa and I are Total Pillow buddies. A flight attendant named Mario once ran three miles to recover my Total Pillow from the plane I had forgotten it on. That's how convincing my heartbreak at the thought of going through Europe for a month without Total Pillow was.
total pillow is great!
Chalk up another Total Pillow fan. I adore mine so much, I have a second one in the closet for when they inevitably stop making them because I like them. (That's what happens when I like things. They stop making it.)
every time I see that sift and toss I conciser buying it for my mother in law and her cat. Anyone use it before? does it actually work?
I think that pet food thing with the handle would be fantastic for older people or people with physical limitations.
GypsyMomma0911 - I haven't tried that one, but whenever I've tried any kind of litter liners, my cat has always scratched through them before I could take them out of the litter box. And I had one of those litter boxes that had the extra sifting layer in it (rigid plastic); the poop would get stuck in the holes of the sifter before the litter coated it. Not helpful.
The first time I saw an ad for the Furniture Fix, I turned to my dad and said, "So...somebody patented plywood?"
And I think that if it works, the Sift and Toss litter-liners are very clever.
I have a long flight in my immediate future, I'm going to go get a Total Pillow today, thanks for the reminder!
I love that the picture on the "Furniture Fix" box is of an IKEA chair...
I have 2 cats they each poop and pee at least tice a day, Thats 8 or so "clumps" a day, so I MUST clean the box every day, most days twice a day if not more. The sifting liner would be way too expensive.
Ms. Pants - you made me panic. I use my total pillow every day. I am running out to buy another one.
Magic Mesh - no good. Magnets come off. I'm looking at a retractable screen next.
Sticky Mop - very good, mainly because it's soo much bigger than the rollers for your clothes. Good for larger surfaces such as carpets and couches.
Insta-Hang - gotta try that.
My Japanese friend moved away and left me a huge lint roller. I asked what it's for. He said it's to pick up the stuff that the vacuum misses. Now I see it's marketed in the US as the Sticky Mop. LOL
Forget the products, I want to know where to find that cool, retro, orange TV!
Thank you Jeremy for the only reasonable comment! Where can you get it, is it a new remake?
Oh man, my sister bought four Total Pillows for our girls trip to Italy. They were hideous (brown & beige) they looked like a hemorrhoid! They were totally uncomfortable BUT we got a lot of laughs from them and everyone on each flight wanted to know what they were. I think by the end of the trip we all ditched them on planes, in hotels and on trains.
I have to say that mesh cat litter thing looks handy dandy. Someone please convince me it's crap.
My cat scratches through plastic cat liners as soon as I put them in, so no on those. I agree with Joan A. on the sifter trays too... the holes get clogged and it's more work and messier than a regular litterbox. Sadly.
I never tried the sift and toss brand, but there's another brand, can't think of the name right now but I"m pretty sure it comes in a blue box. It's only $3 at Walmart or Pet Supplies Plus. I think they work great and are absolutely worth the expense! (I've got 2 cats)
Do NOT buy the Instahang! It is totally useless - the nails don't come out when you push the button on it basically, so there's no point to it at all. I can't believe we fell for it and wasted the money on it!
Reminds me a little bit to much of this (slightly NSFW but v.funny):
The WTF blanket:
I want to know about the tv too!
Really phoning it in AT.
Just have to say that I really thought the product was called "Sniff & Toss," until I read the comments. Oh, reading skills.
Yes, TV please!
Curious if the editors have reviewed or seen or touched any of these products? Can you tell us which ones are wonderful and why beyond product descriptions?

Step right up and welcome to the circus (aka Grace's 4th birthday extravaganza). The Big Top awaits. Feel free to 'clown' around with the rubber clown noses we have provided.
We wanted this party to have have as much circus feel as possible and a circus themed party is not complete without a cotton candy machine SO we rented one from Rental Max for the day.
There were plenty of things to keep the kids busy from a temporary tattoo station, a carnival duck fishing game, a tightrope (aka balance beam), feats to test your strength and photo cut out stands of a strongman and a fortune teller. And, for winning any of these games or feats of strength, you won a goldfish (in cracker form).
This party was so much fun to plan because I was able to push my creative limits. All props and favors were strictly DIY.
Thanks Amy! Readers, see more of Grace's party as well as tutorials at While Wearing Heels.

Nice looking but they don't look so comfortable.
I love the dining table....narrow and long..so hard to find.
Love these quick histories, so informative. Thank you!
Just moved to Hong Kong and I can get these quite cheap with a matching mahogany table..was considering painting over the chairs (else it's too old and matchy-looking for me)..any other ideas?
Drops of jupiter..so maybe you can mix and match..get a modern looking table...
Boards, thanks for the website. I like about 30 min from this place and I just got an email back from them saying they can make me a wall plate rack that I've always dreamed of having with reclaimed wood at pretty good price.
So glad to see this! We received 8 chairs similar to the one in the last picture as a wedding gift and we make them work with our eclectic modern decor. The only problem we have is that they have a large footprint for our 800 sf house, so we have one of these in nearly every room of the house. I actually took one to my office and sit in it during meetings. They aren't exactly comfortable, but they are certainly beautiful to look at and flexible in terms of design - not to mention long-lasting.
I have a pair very much like those in photo 5. I used to use them in a similar arrangement, but the truth is they aren't very comfortable. So now I use the as hall chairs (in the foyer). They are okay for the occasional guest in a formal area, but they are mostly decorative. They definitely need cushions.
PURPLE CEILING!! WOW! :) The chairs look pretty comfy too, but I like straight-backs vs. plump sink-in seating. | http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/quick-history-antique-chinese-130250?img_idx=1 | 2013-05-18T10:41:47 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Program in respect of TCF value-adding for the 2003 04 and 2004 05
income years.
In November 2003, the Government announced a
$747 million assistance package for the TCF industries (see
Ministerial Press Release 27 November 2003).(1) The
announcement followed the release of the Productivity Commission s
final report for the Review of TCF Assistance (completed
in July 2003). As part of the assistance package, the Government
announced tariff reductions and the extension of the current TCF
Strategic Investment Program (SIP) Scheme beyond 2005.
The TCF SIP Scheme was introduced in 1999 to
provide incentives to the TCF industries to undertake restructuring
and achieve efficiency gains in the period up to 2005. The
objective was to provide special assistance, for a limited period,
to those sectors of the industry which had strong prospects of
becoming internationally competitive at lower tariff rates after
2005.
As the Minister noted in his Second Reading
Speech to the Bill, the TCF SIP Scheme is intended to improve the
industry s international competitiveness and long term viability.
However, for those sectors which have managed change and do not
face the prospect of significant tariff reductions, there is not
the same need for special assistance.
The purpose of the Textile, Clothing and Footwear
Strategic Investment Program Amendment Bill 2004 is to provide an
alternative value-adding cap for the leather and technical textile
firms in the final two years of the Textile, Clothing and Footwear
Strategic (TCF (SIP) Scheme).(2) This alternative cap
will enable leather and technical textile firms to match the total
value of their grants for plant and equipment (new and used), and
research and development with a grant for value-adding for the
final two income years of the Program.
This initiative is a transitional measure in the
implementation of the Australian Government s future assistance
arrangements for the TCF industry. This new package, $747 million
over the next ten years and a five-year tariff pause from 2005,
will provide assistance for firms and workers in the TCF Industry,
and allow time for the Industry to adjust to a lower tariff
environment A key part of this package is the $600 million Textile,
Clothing and Footwear Post 2005 Strategic Investment Program (TCF
Post (SIP) Scheme). This new Scheme will provide two types of
grants supporting investment and innovation, and support for small
TCF businesses.
Leather and technical textile firms will only have
access to grants for investment under the TCF Post 2005 (SIP)
Scheme. This is a reflection of the Government s decision to
concentrate support towards those firms facing the greatest tariff
adjustment pressure. Leather and technical textile firms are not
facing the same extent of restructuring pressures as other sectors
of the TCF Industry, nor are they, for many of their products,
facing the prospect of significant tariff reductions. This
initiative will, however, assist leather and technical textile
businesses in making the transition to the TCF Post 2005 (SIP)
Scheme. The leather and technical textile sectors will still be
able to access the Government s industry wide innovation and
research and development programs beyond 2005.(3)
The process of reducing TCF tariffs began with
the 1987 TCF Industry Plan (or the Button Plan, as it came to be
known). A tariff reduction program was set out in the 1991 Industry
Statement, which resulted in the reduction of the maximum tariff
rate on TCF items to 25 per cent in 2000.
In September 1997, the Government announced a
pause in the TCF tariff reduction program from July 2000 to 31
December 2004 and a further reduction to apply from 1 January
2005.
On 27 November 2003, the Government announced
a five-year pause on tariff reductions from 2005 following a review
of TCF tariffs by the Productivity Commission. The Government
accepted the Commission s preferred tariff option to maintain all
TCF tariffs at the 2005 levels until 2010, and then reduce most TCF
tariffs to 5 per cent. However, tariffs on apparel and certain
finished textiles, which are significantly higher than those on
other TCF products, would not be reduced to 5 per cent until
2015.

The TCF SIP Scheme is the main component of
the Government s support program for the industry. Other elements
of the program relate to technology development, skills training
and the development of export markets.
The TCF SIP Scheme has five parts. The three
largest parts provide grants for new plant and building
expenditure, for research and development expenditure and for TCF
value-adding.
Specifically, there are five types of grants
available:
Type 1: grants for investment (up to 20 per cent of eligible
expenditure)
Type 2: grants for research and development, including product
development (up to 45 per cent of eligible expenditure)
Type 3: matching value-added grants
Type 4: grants to purchase state-of-the-art second-hand plant
and equipment for restructuring by firms in TCF dependent
communities (up to 20 per cent of eligible expenditure), and
Type 5: special miscellaneous grants for activities relating to
restructuring initiatives in TCF dependent communities (up to 20
per cent of eligible expenditure).`
To access Type 1, 2 and 3 grants a TCF firm
must have a minimum of $200 000 of eligible expenditure. Type 3
grants enable a firm to claim additional assistance linked to the
value added in the income year the claim was made for a Type 1, 2
or 4 grants.
Currently Type 3 grants are capped at either 5
per cent of total eligible value added, or by the sum of Type 1, 2
and 4 grants received, whichever is the lesser. Value added grants
in excess of the cap cannot be carried forward. Effectively, access
to Type 3 grants means that, subject to capping arrangements, firms
can receive a subsidy of up to 40 per cent on
investment in plant and equipment, and up to 90 per
cent for research and development expenditure.
Type 4 and 5 grants are designed to provide
support to communities that are heavily dependent on TCF
manufacturing and are facing restructuring.
In 2002 03, $130 million was paid through the
SIP. Around 60 per cent of SIP payments were for Types 1 and 2
grants. Type 3 grants account for 38 per cent of payments while
Types 4 and 5 grants account for less than one per cent.
Grants under the SIP are paid in arrears on
the basis of demonstrated performance. In line with WTO rules, the
overall level of assistance to an individual firm is limited to 5
per cent of its total sales of eligible products in the preceding
twelve months.
Funding for the current SIP Scheme is capped
at $700 million over five years. This cap includes any
supplementation to the Regional Assistance Program. The SIP applies
to the financial years from 2000 01 to 2004 05, with two
pre-program years, 1998 99 and 1999 2000.
The overall cost to revenue of the TCF SIP
Scheme is equivalent to the aggregate cost of the Import Credit
Scheme had it continued past its termination date of 1 July 2000 up
to 30 June 2005.(4)
As announced by the Government in November
2003, the SIP will be extended beyond 2005 and renamed the TCF Post
2005 (SIP) Scheme.
The leather and technical (or industrial)
textile sectors have been less affected by the tariff reductions
than other sectors in the industry and have responded positively
under the SIP. Both sectors have performed strongly and have
developed their export capability.
The leather industry in Australia employs more
than 3000 people and is a major regional employer, with an annual
turnover in excess of $730 million. The industry is the best
performing sector in the TCF industry and has experienced the
smallest reduction in TCF employment (a fall of only 3 per cent
during in the 1990 s, compared to 30 per cent for the TCF industry
overall). The industry is also a major exporter, accounting for 35
per cent of TCF exports. In its follow-up submission to the
Review of TCF Assistance by the Productivity Commission,
the Australian Association of Leather Industries, which represents
the major finished leather manufacturers in Australia, stated:
The leather industry s export performance and the
investment planned over the remainder of the SIP scheme indicates
that new leather capacity is replacing outdated capabilities
designed to satisfy a largely domestic manufacturing base of
client.
The SIP scheme has been fundamental to the
development of the leather industry... These developments, which
commenced with the establishment of the import credit scheme in
1991, are starting to show significant benefits for the economy as
a whole and with the appropriate nurturing a significant world
class industry will develop.(5)
The technical textile sector is also a large
employer employing an estimated 10 000 people in Australia and has
an annual turnover of $1.7 billion. The industry is dependent on
other manufacturing sectors, such as the building and construction,
and automotive industries but has invested heavily in capital
expenditure and product development. The industry has also
experienced a healthy growth in exports.
The Australian technical & nonwoven textile
industry is highly capital intensive, requiring large investments
in product development and production facilities and is comparable
to the global industry. Once seen as colourless, the sector has
emerged united as a viable and vibrant industry. Indeed, over the
past decade, the industry has made substantial improvements and
institutional and attitudinal changes. The adoption and refinement
of lean manufacturing techniques has delivered operating
efficiencies and lower inventory costs. There has been significant
investment to upgrade plant and equipment, and in process and
product development in line with global trends.
One of the distinguishing features of the evolving
technical and nonwoven textiles industry is the emergence of
traditional textiles and fibre producers into technical textiles.
Hence technical textiles provide an important avenue for structural
adjustment within the textiles and broader TCF industries. The
Strategic Investment Program (SIP) is also progressively aiding the
Australian technical and nonwoven textile companies to prepare
themselves for the post 2005 period.(6)
Item 2 of Schedule
1 inserts a new section 14A setting out the objectives for
the alternative cap for certain grants in respect of TCF
value-adding under the TCF (SIP) Scheme. Total grants for the TCF
value-adding (Type 3 grants) made to leather or technical textile
firms in the 2003 04 or 2004 05 income years are equivalent to the
sum of the total grants for new and second-hand plant and building
expenditure (Type 1 grants) and TCF research and development
expenditure (Type 2 grants). The total of value-adding grants paid
will not exceed $3.9 million.
Media Release issued by Industry Minister Ian MacFarlane, Future
Assistance Arrangements for the TCF Industry , 27 November 2003,
03/255.
Technical textiles refer to industrial textiles and comprise
special fibres and yarns such as stainless steel, nickel,
polyester, nylon, silica, glass fabric, microfibre and glass
fabric. These textiles can be value added into products ranging
from hygiene products, protective clothing, medical clothing,
tents, shoes and home textiles.
House Hansard, 18 February 2004, p. 25035.
The Import Credit Scheme provided import duty concessions to
firms based on their export performance. However, there was some
doubt as to whether the scheme was WTO consistent.

Numbers recognizes date and time durations so you can use them in calculations. For example, say you want to calculate the total or average of your lap times in a race. You could enter a lap time as “2min 2sec” or any other commonly accepted units of time.
When you perform a calculation using these values, Numbers takes into account that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 24 hours in a day, and so on, so that the result you get is a proper duration of time.

This report, which forms vol 10 in the Chichester Excavations series, describes and discusses the excavation in 1986–87 and 1993 of almost 400 skeletons from the cemetery of the Hospital of St James and St Mary Magdalene just outside Chichester, West Sussex. Founded as a leper hospital for men in the 12th century, this institution admitted women and children towards the end of the Middle Ages and survived the Reformation by becoming an almshouse for the sick poor.
Part 1 of the report discusses leprosy and contemporary attitudes to it, medieval hospitals and cemeteries, and the provision of charitable care in medieval Chichester.
Part 2 focuses specifically on St James’s Hospital and the archaeology of its cemetery, including dating, layout and the distribution of individuals according to age at death, sex and disease.
Part 3 examines the physical anthropology and palaeopathology of this unique assemblage of skeletons, discussing leprosy, other diseases, dental health, trauma and osteoarthritis.
Part 4 comprises the discussion and interpretation of the site, emphasising the change in the pattern of disease through the period of occupation from the early 12th to the mid-17th century, reflecting both the decline in leprosy in England and the refounding of the hospital as an almshouse.

Obesity has become America's #1 health problem. More than 15% of American teenagers are overweight. You are overweight if:
Obesity is defined as a weight per height ratio (body mass index or BMI) that is above the 95th percentile.
The tendency to be overweight is usually inherited. If one parent is overweight, probably half of the children have the potential to be overweight. If both parents are overweight, most of their children will be overweight. If neither parent is overweight, the children have a small chance of becoming overweight.
Heredity alone (without overeating) accounts for most mild weight problems. Moderate weight problems are usually due to a combination of heredity, overeating, and underexercising. Some overeating is normal in our society, but only those who have the inherited tendency to be overweight will gain significant weight when they overeat. The family environment (how much TV is watched, how much your family exercises, and foods that are served) is equally important.
Less than 1% of obesity has an underlying medical cause. Your healthcare provider can check whether your obesity has a physical cause with a simple physical examination.
There are health risks as well as social problems that may occur when you are overweight. These include high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea from severe snoring, exercise intolerance, lower self-esteem, and depression.
Losing weight is very difficult. Keeping the weight off is also a chore. The best time for losing weight is when a teenager becomes very concerned with personal appearance. A self-motivated teenager can follow a diet and lose weight regardless of what his or her family eats.
You can increase your motivation by joining a weight-loss club such as TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) or Weight Watchers. Sometimes schools have classes for helping teenagers lose weight.
Pick a realistic target weight based on your bone structure and how overweight you are. The loss of 1 pound a week is an attainable goal. However, you will have to work quite hard to lose this much weight every week for several weeks. You should weigh yourself no more than once each week; daily weighings generate too much false hope or disappointment. When losing weight becomes a strain, take a few weeks off from the weight-loss program. During this time, try to stay at a constant weight.
Once you have reached the target weight, the long-range goal is to try to stay within 5 pounds of that weight. Staying at a particular weight is possible only through a permanent moderation in eating. You will probably always have the tendency to gain weight easily and it's important that you understand this.
You should eat three well-balanced meals a day of average-sized portions. There are no forbidden foods. You can have a serving of anything family or friends are eating. However, there are forbidden portions. While you are reducing, you must leave the table a bit hungry. You cannot lose weight if you eat until full. Eat average portions instead of large portions and avoid, you must learn eating habits that will last you for a lifetime.
Daily exercise can increase the rate of weight loss as well as the sense of physical well-being. The combination of diet and exercise is the most effective way to lose weight. Try the following forms of exercise:
The more outside activities you participate in, the easier it will be for you to lose weight. Spare time fosters nibbling. Most snacking occurs between 3 and 6 PM. Fill after-school time with activities such as music, drama, sports, or scouts. A part-time job after school may help. If nothing else, call or visit friends. An active social life almost always leads to weight reduction.

Bachynski's triple-double shows how far he's come
Originally published: Dec 8, 2012 - 8:52 pm
You were probably thinking, "Man, that kid is big...and he looks agile. Maybe the Devils have found a diamond in the rough?"
But coming off of a two-year Mormon mission, the layer of rust on the 7-foot-2 Canadian's game was too thick to chip away in a short amount of time. Bachynski logged a DNP (did not play) in seven games as a first-year player for a team that went just 12-19 on the season.
Midway through his sophomore season, the light bulb went on. In the words of his head coach Herb Sendek, Bachynski released his 'inner animal', averaging 10 points, six rebounds and two blocks per game over his last 13 contests.
And Saturday in Tempe, he made history. With his 13-point, 12-rebound, 12-blocked shot performance, Bachynski notched the first triple-double in school history during the Sun Devils' 87-76 win over Cal State Northridge.
"It's been a long road," Bachynski said Saturday. "From my mission and taking two years off and last year coaches being patient with me, to my freshman year not playing pretty much at all, just the development I've gone under is a testament to the great coaching staff here. They do a phenomenal job developing players."
With his school-record 12 blocks Saturday, Bachynski re-took the national lead in that category from Kansas' Jeff Withey. What may be more amazing, Bachynski accomplished the feat without committing a foul and has only 15 personal fouls in Arizona State's first nine games.
"A big part (of staying out of foul trouble) is not trying to block your man's shot. Occasionally, I'll block the big man, but most of my blocks come off help," Bachynski explained.
Another big part of it is natural instinct. Many seven-footers aren't great shot-blockers, but Bachynski has a "knack" for rejections.
"It's not something that I think is easily taught," Sendek said. "The great shot blockers that I've had a chance to be around simply have that knack. It's not something you typically show film on or try to teach someone to do. Some guys just have the knack, and some guys do not."
Having that knack helped Bachynski become just the third Division I player this season to notch a triple-double, joining Withey who scored 16 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked 12 shots vs. San Jose State November 26 and Marshall guard Deandre Kane who scored 33 points, grabbed 11 boards and handed out 10 assists in a double-overtime loss to Hofstra November 18.

FAYETTEVILLE - The University of Arkansas volleyball team will close out its 2010 season with a home match Wednesday evening against No. 17 LSU. First serve of the Southeastern Conference contest is scheduled for 7 p.m. (CT) at Barnhill Arena. Fans in attendance can enter a drawing for an XBOX 360 with the winner announced during intermission between games two and three.
"LSU is a very good team" head coach Robert Pulliza said. "Right now, they are playing for seeding in the NCAA Tournament which means they will come very motivated to play. It's a very good opportunity for our kids to play a good team and measure where we are and where we want to be."
Arkansas enters the season finale with a 14-16 overall record and an 8-11 mark in SEC play. Both win totals represent program highs for the team under the watch of Pulliza. In their last outing, the Razorbacks notched a four-set victory over South Carolina behind a career-best 22 kill from Janeliss Torres-Lopez and a .444 team hitting percentage in the match-clinching fourth set.
For her efforts over the weekend, Raymariely Santos was named the SEC Freshman of the Week for the second time this season, earning her third weekly conference honor overall; she was named the league's top defender following a match against Ole Miss earlier this month. Historically, Kelli Stipanovich has moved into 16th place on the program's all-time kills list with 877 career putaways.
In the first meeting this season between Arkansas and LSU, the Tigers posted a four-set win on their home court in a match nationally televised by ESPNU. Stipanovich had 11 kills with a .407 hitting percentage against the Tigers while Jasmine Norton tallied a team-high 12 kills. With the win, LSU extended its win streak against the Razorbacks to 10 matches though Arkansas still leads the all-time series, 22-13.
The Tigers enter Wednesday's meeting with a 24-4 overall record and a 15-4 mark in conference play. With a win over South Carolina last weekend, LSU clinched its sixth straight Western Division title. Offensively, the team is led by setter Brittney Johnson, averaging an SEC-best 10.78 assists per set, and outside hitter Angela Bensend. She is second in the conference, behind Norton, with 3.79 kills per set.
"I really want to see us work as a cohesive unit," Pulliza said. "I want to see our system, both on the offensive side and the defensive side, be crisp and consistent. That comes from collective effort, something we've been working really hard at."
Doors at Barnhill Arena open one hour prior to the start of Wednesday's match. Fans can follow the action with a live stream, interactive blog and live stats at ArkansasRazorbacks.com. In addition to those features, the match will also be broadcast on KXUA 88.3 FM in Northwest Arkansas.

Karabagh’s Freedom Celebrated on Capitol Hill
Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Headlines Congressional Tribute to 25 Years of Liberty
WASHINGTON—Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Ed Royce (R-Calif.) joined with fellow members of the Congressional Armenian Caucus and the visiting Minister of Youth and Culture from the Republic of Nagorno Karabagh (Artsakh), Narine Aghabalyan, in a bipartisan Capitol Hill celebration on March 13 marking the 25th anniversary of the Artsakh democracy and freedom movement.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Ed Royce (right), with Nagorno Karabakh Youth and Culture Minister Narine Aghabalyan (center), and senior Appropriations Committee member Adam Schiff (left) at the March 13th Capitol Hill celebration of twenty-five years of freedom for Nagorno Karabakh.
“Nagorno-Karabagh is all about freedom. Freedom was the inspiration for the Nagorno-Karabagh democracy movement back in 1988. Freedom has been the cornerstone of this proud republic’s remarkable growth over the past quarter century. And, today, 25 years later, freedom remains the key to finding a peaceful and democratic way to finally bring an end to Azerbaijan’s aggression,” said Armenian National Committee of America Aghabalyan, remarks by Royce, comments by the two co-chairs of the Armenian Caucus, Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) and Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.), a moving speech by Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and messages by Congresswomen Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Jackie Speier (D-Calif.). Congressman David Cicilline (D-R.I.) welcomed Aghabalyan to the event, and participated in the evening’s celebration. Staff representing over two dozen Congressional offices also participated.
“The Nagorno Karabagh Republic is a legal state, which was created through the free expression of the democratic will of the people of Karabagh, and it is, in fact, the non-recognition of this state that contradicts international laws and norms,” Aghabalyan explained. “Our unrecognized status prevents the full realization of the rights of the people who live in Artsakh. It is appropriate to cite the words of the third president of the United States, an outstanding public figure, Thomas Jefferson: ‘Everything is changeable in the world except the natural rights of people.’”
The English-language text of Aghabalyan’s remarks are available here.
Rep. Grimm, the newly announced Republican co-chairman of the Armenian Caucus, reflected on the growing international support for Karabagh’s independence. “If history has furnished any conclusion, it’s that Nagorno-Karabagh’s assertion of independence is hardly a fleeting or temporary desire; it’s actually an ancient and salient aspiration that must be part of any permanent resolution if the avoidance of future conflict is going to be a serious goal,” explained.”
Nagorno-Karabagh Youth and Culture Minister Narine Aghabalyan speaking with Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) and NKR Representative in the U.S. Robert Avetisyan.
Pallone concurred, noting that “There are those on the other side that keep insisting that somehow the principle of self-determination should not be supreme, and it should always be. … Karabagh of Azerbaijan’s pardon, praise, andagh voted for independence,” said Royce. “We believe it is time for peace. We believe it is time for the angry rhetoric to cease.”
Condemning the Safarov scandal,. Anna Eshoo stressed, “This milestone for the people of Nagorno-Karabagh holds particular meaning for me as an Armenian-American. Nagorno-Karabagh has faced much difficulty in its history, but its continued push for growth and democracy demonstrates the determination of its people to progress beyond intolerance and violence.” Rep. Jackie Speier’s message underscored Nagorno-Karabagh’s progress, noting that “the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabagh have fought back against attacks on their institutions, their livelihoods, and their very right to exist, and against all odds they have succeeded in creating a democratic society with a vibrant culture and an enduring respect for the pursuit of peace and justice.”
ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian with incoming Congressional Armenian Caucus Republican CoChair Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.).
Armenia’s ambassador to the U.S., Tatoul Markarian, and the representative of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic in Washington, D.C., Robert Avetisyan both offered policy-driven remarks on the part of their government. Hamparian shared the Armenian-American community’s enduring support for Artsakh’s national and democratic aspirations, as manifested through a broad array of federal- and state-level advocacy initiatives undertaken by the community to support and sustain the Nagorno Karabagh Republic.
Ambassador Markarian, in his speech, said, “By revising reality and cultivating anti-Armenian hatred, Azerbaijan is seeking to prepare the moral ground, both domestically and internationally, for restarting the war against Nagorno-Karabagh.” He went on to explain that “Azerbaijan is just buying time for preparing a new war, which underscores the urgency of the recognition of the Nagorno-Karabagh’s independence by the international community.”
The standing-room-only event was well attended by the Washington, D.C.agh’s freedom, among them Representatives Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), James Costa (D-Calif.), Judy Chu (D-Calif.), Michael Grimm (R-Calif.), Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), and David Valadao (R-Calif.).
Aghabalyan, a journalist by trade, represents an energetic new generation of leaders who are charting a bright future for the independent Republic of Nagorno Karabagh. the Ministry’s job-placement efforts are finding meaningful work for young citizens of the Republic.
ANCA Legislative Affairs Director Raffi Karakashian testified on March 14 before the U.S. House panel responsible for foreign aid, in support of increased direct U.S. assistance to Nagorno-Karabagh. To view this document, visit. A 30-second ANCA video was also. The video is available on the ANCA YouTube page at.
In an attempt to export Baku-style repression to Washington, D.C., a handful of pro-Aliyev protesters outside the event sought unsuccessfully to discourage participation in the Artsakh freedom celebration.
Why do you guys feel so celebratory when congressmen beholden to your votes and money say and do what you want them to say? It is like celebrating that the government official I have bribed does as asked. Lobbysts like ANCA is a living proof of the kind of deficiencies American democracy has: a small vocal minority hijacking a government policy on a topic of interest to that minority, at the cost of the majority. True, Karabak has little value to an American either way, but it is no secret that if not Armenian lobby US would be all over Azerbaijan in terms of overall national interests, because of European energy security, common interest vis-a-vis Iran, countering Russian influence in Caucasus, etc. What does Armenia have to offer to US? Nothing. And please don’t waste your breath on “Because Armenia is a demoracy, is a superior moral country etc.” In international politics, there are only common interests. And regarding Caucasus, the Armenian lobby in the US has distorted the Congresses clear view to what is more imporant to US national interests.
Sour grapes Kerim:
You cannot stand the fact that Azerbaijan’s US$ billions are being blunted by our grassroots efforts at very low cost.
US has no national interests in South Caucasus. If it did, it wouldn’t stand by and watch as their ‘ally’ Georgia – under the leadership of their own neocon plant Saakashvili – was crushed by Russia.
And now Georgia is gradually returning to its normal, traditional relationship with Russia.
Soon Azerbaijan will be completely isolated from its big brother Turkey. And Russia and Iran will dismember Azerbaijan the minute it allows an attack on Iran from its bases. Georgia will block any help to Azeris through its territory under Ivanishvili.
Azerbaijan has no value to the West other than oil, which peaked around 2010 or so and is running out. It is nothing more than a petrol station disguised as a country. Azeri leadership is already in panic. Remember the hysterical attack Aliyev launched on BP ? Natural gas cannot replace oil: the world runs on oil.
Bias, bias, bias
Why? Because US congressmen are among the most powerful and influential politicians (if not individuals) in the world. That’s why dozens of foreign nations and diaspora members spend so much money lobbying.
kerim does not understand or conveniently overlooks that Armenian MAIN ISSUE IS NOT NAGORNYI KARABAGH(<ARTSAKH)but…..GENOCIDE RECOGNITION BY GREAT TURKEY…
restitutions/compensations for blood SHED…Artsakh is for 25 yrs already Independent Republic. We want above issue to be resolved….
The world owes Justic e to armenians-yes including great Turkey…
so don´t get disturbed when NK is sue is discussed in D.C. or anywhere else.
Tryu to get over the wrong assumption that Armenian-Turkish protocols will be excersized leaving aside OUR HUGE LOSSES in Western Armenia….
We were brutally EVICTED FROM ANCESTRAL HOMES,LANDS from VAN,Bitlis, Ezinchan, kars, Ardahan, igidir mava………so think in that diorection.
Nakhijevan is also my MOTHERLAND and hundreds of thousands as well.
prepare yourself for above.NK is ¨¨eliminiziman getti¨¨¨my turkish ,please excuses me is very weak,i speak iranian turkish which the MODERN EUROPEAN TURKS DO NOT APPROVE OF.Sorry for that..that means went out of our hands………
So take it easy you have plenty of LAND ,OIL GO ENJOY IT…. .
Avery, you say Azerbaijan has no national intersts concerns for US other than oil. Well, true, but that is one big “Other than.” Oil and energy security are big factors in international politics. Dimissing that glibly is rather naitve. Of course, US cares very little about Azerbaijan “otherwise.”
I like this kind of conversation on politics (versus name-calling), and do welcome your comments back… Now, for Georgia. I would not say Georgia means zero to US. Instead it is worth much less than what the silly Saakashvili thought. Russia called US bluff. But Russia did not go all the way. Why? Because that was a red line for US.
As for Azb, I think it is worth much more to the US than Georgia is. Energy security, again, is no small thing. Azb can help Europe reduce its dependence on Russian energy, which can be used to blackmail Europe into not following the US suit on matters important to US.
As for Iran, yes, if the war started, things CAN turn out very badly for Azb. But, ironically enought, Russia can actually be more of a protection for Azb in that regard than Turkey/West. There are still post-Soviet solidarity, plus the last thing Russia would want is to have Iranian Islamism at its doorstep in Dagestan (i.e., letting Iran take over Azerbaijan).
The point is, yes, Iran war can hurt Azb badly. But we won’t have a choice to be neutral. One, Iran is an existential threat to Azb (and its regime). Average Iranian thinks Azb to be stolen by Russia and want it back. By the way, they feel the same way about Armenia too. Other reasons too why we won’t stay neutral. they will bomb us, fine. But don’t overestimate Iran too much. people thought the same thing about Iraq before it fell apart like dominos. And remember that there are about 25m Azeris in Iran, which will be more than happy if Iran fell apart.
What it means for Armenia. There is 50/50 change that the war with Iran will greatly benefit Azerbaijan, even putting it in a position to get Karabak back as a pay-back for its contribution with Iran. I know some Armenian political analysts are worried about this possibility. The potential savior for Armenia, again ironically enough, would be Russia. But the question is, when things get really really messy, with US, israel part of the equation, plus even Turkey, would Russia want to get involved on your side? True, they wont let Armenia disappear (and that is not on the agenda so to speak anyways), but it won’t kill Russia to stand by and let the chips fall wherever they may in Karabak.
Why would mostly Sunni Dagestanis welcome Iran when the mostly Shia Azerbaijanis won’t even do so? You’re right though that Azerbaijan has always been a buffer state for the Russian/Soviet government, just like Belarus was back in the early 20th century. And both were largely made into “nations” through Soviet nationality policies, which is why Belarus can’t separate their nationhood from its Soviet origins and why Azerbaijan has produced laughable propaganda about everything from primordial Azerbaijani Caucasian Albanians to Azerbaijani “national poet” Nezami.
“but it won’t kill Russia to stand by and let the chips fall wherever they may in Karabak.”
I thought that’s what they were doing in the early 1990s, when they were telling Armenians not to advance further east of Karabagh?
Gaytzag, I understand that your big beef is with Turkey. Then take it with them. Hating us Azeris over Genocide is like hating Guatemala over what Mexico may have done. I know that Turkey is too strong for you to confront. So Azb has been, to some extent, a proxy for you, which explain, some not all of, the viciousness of the Azeri-Armenian conflict.
As for Karabak is gone, of course you would say that. But just think about it … In the same very paragraph you talk about the desire to get Western Armenia back from Turkey. Can I say the same thing to you then? “Forget it, it is gone. Get over it.” Of course, not.
Kerim Khan,
There are some donkeys left over since 1994 war, in Karabakh. Why don’t you get a visa from Artsakhi government, for a friendly visit!!
Avery,
This man Kerim,really likes to take conjectures and divide, unite, destroy , ally countreis to ea other.he should go teach diplomacy in Baki(sorry Baku).
How you wish to mislead others8not me9 that azeris could ber our friends again.Tell that to yours and other non Armenians.Armenians and iranians hav e very important thing in common.They know Turks,whether from Baku or from istanbulla. After the 2nd third time over, of Armneian massacres by axeris,no any Armenian in his her right mind will ever believe in your sermons.We are good as it is nowaway from ea other.You go grind your oxydated axe elsewhere(not referring to Safar(oghlu) axe here.Excuse the reference but it is true.Here few would believe in any kind of rapprochement with you people.
Why go far? see how Cypress Greeks broke off with Turkey…
Anyhow, keep imagining wars…there will not be any as long as the oil flows..when it stops,what in twenty yrs then by then We shall have seen a NEW COUNTRY between armenia and great Turkey called K U R D I S T A N andthat is not a prophecy ,it is in the press,North American press..
Witness Mousoul Oil in already near independent smaller kurdistan—-
So mucnh for now.Takle it easy, who knows maybe a MANTASHEV (MANTASHIAN) HEIR will come and claim the Baki Oilfields and few others(this is my hypothetic) go at it….WE don´t forget <THAT EASILY THAT FIVE FAMILIES THERE STARTED THE EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION OF OIL IN LAST CENTURY WITH ref. to said you can look up in Oil magazines old ,rather very old…but there!!!!
Addendum,
Since many here do not have Sattelite T.V. and watch what goes on in BAku,Axerbaiojan,
A recent short documentary shows how CHILDREN IN AXERBAIJAN SCHOOLS ARE TAUGHT TO HATE ARMENIANS AND KILL THEM????????
tHIS OPENLY VERY OPENLY…….
I trust the T.v. channel in Ra will repeat that to show to our countrymen(those who are in slumber) to see what is being taught in neighbouring axerbaijan!!!
Hagop, if Stalin essentially created the Azeri nation, as you claim, then how about the ~20m Azeris living in Iran? Did he create their ethnicity too? Or how about the fact that prior to Soviets coming, there was actually a republic called Azerbaijan. Of course, don’t let facts get in the way …
As for your point about Albania, again, what do you you think happened to them? Did they dissipate into air? Obviously, they were not Armenian, because there was already a separate nation called Armenia at the time. Given that the DNA tests show that Azeri are a local Caucasian people speaking Turkic due to historical elite language domination, it is the more probable thing that they were Turkified.
You Armenians must finally come around and accept science as science when it comes to dreaming up the myth that Azeris are nomads from Mongolia (which I guess justifies in your minds their ethnic cleansing from their ancestral homes).
And here is science on Y-chromosome frequency (passed from father to son):
- Azeris: H (26%) and U (20%), followed by T (11%), J (11%), and HV (10%).
- Mongolians: C3 (38%), N3a (13%), O3el (11%), all of the above Azeri Y chromosomes (0%)

As for Azerb being a buffer state for Russia, that actually could be more accurately said of Armenia than us. As part of the Turkmenchay agreement with Persia in 1828, Armenians were brought from Iran into Karabak. From the words of Griboyedov, the Russian general/diplomat overseeing the Iran affairs: .”‘ Russian did the same with the war with Ottomons, settling the area with Armenians. Just listen to Putin giving speech in Armenia proudly confirming this historical fact: “Didn’t we say we will settle Armenians in Caucasus? Well, we did!” Link:
All this does not mean there had been no Armenians before all this in Caucasus. There were, but in much smaller numbers. True, you may or may not have ruled the roost for 50-60 years 2000 years ago. But at least since the Karakoyunlu 14th century, that is, for the last 700 years, it has not been our ancestors’. As for what was happening before then, Persians had been the kind for a long time, not Armenians.
By the way, wasn’t there a monument in Karabak, celebrating the 150th year of their migration to Karabak. I am sure it is gone now.
In my exchanges with you on this website, I have never referred to Azerbaijanis as being from Mongolia. Not once.
Now let me begin by addressing your points. The Azerbaijani nation (as it is now understood by people living within Azerbaijan) was certainly created and nurtured by the Soviet government. Before then, the level of national consciousness among them was extremely low, which is why I compared them to Belarusians.
After several centuries of Perso-Turkic (mis)rule, it’s not too surprising that Armenia and Karabagh were emptied out of its Armenian population (especially the Shah Abbas’ violent deportations of Armenians from the Nakhichevan/Yerevan area. Their descendants still live in modern Iran, in a community within Isfahan known as New Julfa). Armenia can’t be a buffer state of Russia (it does not border Russia), but during the Soviet period that was certainly the job of Azerbaijan (as the Soviets even had plans to take over northern Iran). As for the Armenians who returned to their historic homelands once they were liberated by the Russians… can you blame them?
I did not say that Caucasian Albanians disappeared into thin air. What I said was that Azerbaijanis have produced laughable propaganda about them and this is true. The bitter truth is that the Caucasian Albanians were extremely Armenized; their alphabet was created by an Armenian, their religion was close to Armenian Apostolic Christianity, etc. Azerbaijan simply attempts to distort and misrepresent anything vaguely non-”Azerbaijani” within their territory as Caucasian Albanian. They even said the Georgian Davit Gareja monastery was Caucasian Albanian. These mechanisms were developed and perfected during the Soviet period. That is what I am trying to say.
“By the way, wasn’t there a monument in Karabak, celebrating the 150th year of their migration to Karabak. I am sure it is gone now.”
I’m not sure why Kerim hans are allowed to post their Azeri propaganda lies day after day. It would be OK for them to bring something new freshly developed in Sultan’s Aliyev’s “Ministry of Truth” but it is not OK to keep reposting the same lies after they were proven lies.
The lie about the monument is one of such examples. Yes, the monument is still there. The Azeri Turks just twist the truth a bit. The monument is dedicated to 150 years since Armenians of that village RETURNED to the homes built by their ancestors.
Azeri Turk propagandists know that very well but keep posting this nonsense conveniently replacing the word RETURN with “migration” and than applying it to entire Artsakh when in fact the monument sign talks ONLY about that particular village.
See, this is not about genetics. It is about a conflict between a nomadic Turkic civilization and native peoples of the lands they now occupy. For a Turk, migration is the only way known to them. For Armenians a return to their ancestors graves is the only way. When these two civilizations try to talk to each other or explain to the rest of the word they think that the other side thinks about the same (and the only way known to them) thing.
Nomadic ancestors of different Turkic tribes now commonly referred to as Azeri Turks had no graves. They could not maintain graves or any memories/emotional attachments to places. They were weak and constantly moving. They were in conflict with other nomadic tribes and had to escape bad climate changes in Central Asia. That’s what brought them to Armenia and Caucasian Albania.
The only way for them to stay in such areas inhabited by more technologically advanced sedentary civilizations was to destroy them with their “know-how” – genocide. They didn’t start it in 1915 – they started it right after they were forced out of their steppe comfort zone a thousand years ago. This is why you cannot find Albanians – they were massacred and forcibly assimilated.
On the other hand, Iranian civilization was able to resist for a long time and maintained its autonomy. Northern parts of Iran were ruled by Turks and only recently switched to Turkic language. These territories are called Iranian Azerbaijan. This is just a name for several provinces. Iranians who speak Turkic live there. They are different from the artificially created “Azerbaijanis” of Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan created by Stalin on the lands cleared from their native populations by Turkish expeditionary corps under the command of Nuri Pasha, brother of Enver Pasha.
First, many thanks again to the AW moderators for posting my “anti-Armenian” posts
It is the best forum out there … although not really dedicated to Azeri-Armenian-Turkish relations per se, it is the best place for having conversations with “the other side.”
Hagop, thanks for the nuanced response to my comments. Right off the bat, I will concede these points:
- Yes, Soviets encouraged Azeri national identity in contradistinction to “Mulsim” or Turkic. But this did not mean the identity had not existed before; it just had had other salient points to it (e.g., Mulsim vs. Chrisian Caucasians, etc). Also, this does not mean that the ancestors of modern Azeris are newcomers. It is just that their identity has evolved, which is not a bad thing (a case in point, Germany).
- Yes, Azeris do sometimes go overboard in tagging Armenian churches as Albanian. The truth is, for a very long time, Azeris and Armenians have lived side-by-side in other people’s empires, Persian, Russian, etc. So they were intermingled. One village was Azeri/Muslim, the next Christian. In the past, I have confronted the sillines of some Azeri friends when they called ruined churches as Albanian (“look, it is unlikely that these bricks would still be where they are for over 1500 years. More likely, they are Armenian, from mere 100 years ago or so.) What happened with these Churches was that after the 1915-20 Armenian-Mulsim wars, these villages got consolidated, a lot of Armenians moved together in Stepanakert, while the Azeris there moved closer to their own majority to avoid mutual slaughter.
If you ask me, nothing that happened over 150 years ago should matter to the lives of people living today. Regardless of whether Karabak proper was Azeri or not, it has been Armenian for multiple generations. So let it be independent. But at the same time, the same dignity need to be granted to the people who lived in their adjacent districts. No family’s ancestral home should be occupied as a buffer zone.
Unfortunately, neither side will comprimise, and a second stage of the war will happen. And my other point that I have been driving here is that it is mistaken of Armenians to think that Stage 2 is going to be just a repeat of Stage 1. It will be a totally differnt beast. We may lose again, or may be not. What is for sure, it will a totally different ball game.
kerim,
You are trying hard to make the point that -to begin with now-the muslim and chritian …
First of all change that to read Moussavatist-Armenian!!!
For that is what it was….begining 1905 Tatar-Armenian skirmishes,rather tatars azeris Mousavatists going on a rampage agaisnt the Armenians there.
Then pick it up from there….
Karim Khan,
All your messages ended up with 2-nd stage war!! a typical Turkish empty threat like your corrupted Sultan!! I wonder how much you get paid, for dictating the oil man messages here!! Read below article before preparing, for 2-nd stage war with Artsakhi army!!
Iran’s homemade destroyer: Tehran launches 1400-ton battleship
@ GB, don’t flatter yourself … No one paying is anything to anyone to convince you of anything. Aliyev could not care less about what you or I believe. It is just a friendly (or I guess unfriendly) conversation. Just relax.
@Gaytzag, I personally find it repulsive to my own intellectual integrity to even assume that my side at a war was completely free of atrocity or guitl. In war, a lot of bad things happen. People like you on the other hand find it apparently very easy to think that your side was 100% the angels, and the other side devil. I find such simple-minded black-and-white worldview utterly repulsive, regardless of whether one is Armenian, Azeri, or Bulgarian.
Kerim,
You still try to evade the issue of (your) making it believe that the animosity is /was between Muslim and christian population….
Not true .It was and is between azeri-Musavatist and the Armenians…
indeed, armenians side was then led by the then ARF…and why not.
So one cannot generalize the war then and recent one as you wish to paint!!!
Karim Khan,
You already open you hand, that you are part of Sultan’s circle!! I have never mention Aliyev’s name here!! Are you looking for a 2-nd stage mental help from Artsakhi Armenians?? May be your Kurdish leader is smarter than you are…at least he knows how to fool Axeri people and rob billions with his Mehriban, and leave poor Axeris with empty high rise buildings in Baku!! | http://www.armenianweekly.com/2013/03/14/nagorno-karabakhs-freedom-celebrated-on-capitol-hill/ | 2013-05-18T10:52:22 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

West Point Branch Week offers education, mentorship for cadets
September 13, 2012
By Mike Strasser, U.S. Military Academy Public Affairs

WEST POINT, N.Y. (Sept. 13, 2012) -- The U.S. Military Academy's Department of Military Instruction hosted its first Branch Week, Sept. 10-15, bringing in several hundred tons of military equipment, vehicles and weapons for the academy's spin on a college career fair.
While the tanks, attack helicopters and armored vehicles attracted crowds, the week-long event was really an opportunity for the Corps of Cadets to learn about the various career fields they will either enter after graduation or work with in joint operations.
To that end, dozens of uniformed officers and noncommissioned officers representing the 16 branches provided cadets with insight into their professions.
Capt. Eric Tolska, 1-150th Assault Helicopter Battalion, New Jersey National Guard out of Joint Base McGuire, came to West Point on the same UH-60L Black Hawk he flew over MetLife Stadium for the N.Y. Giants home opener, Sept. 5. After a few hours at the academy he was becoming familiar with cadet rank and how close they were to making their branch selections. Parked next to his helicopter on The Plain was an AH-64 Apache with Capt. Steven Lancianese from Task Force Night Hawk, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, Fort Drum, N.Y., who was also answering cadet questions.
Lancianese said most cadets are focused on a 50-meter target, meaning their questions center on the most immediate objectives ahead, like flight school or being a platoon leader. Lancianese knows this all too well, as a member of the Class of 2006. He said the academy's effort to expose the entire Corps to all the branches at once is a good idea as indicated by the type of questions he's fielded throughout the week.
"These are all questions they can find out on their own and information they can get from their instructors," Lancianese said. "But they want to hear it from a pilot; they want to get the information from people in the field right now and I think it's good for us to come down here this week."
Class of 2014 Cadet Kyle Cardillo, Company I-4, made a beeline toward the aviation displays early Tuesday morning. Like Lancianese, his desire to become a pilot developed at an early age.
"I knew when I came to West Point that I wanted to be a pilot, so that's obviously my top choice," said Cardillo, from Bellingham, Wash. "Now it's just a matter of cycling out my B and C plans, and those constantly change. All the branches do cool stuff and they all have unique missions. So it may come down to that night before Branch Night when you think, 'What do I really want to do?' and then submit the top three choices."
Lancianese said more than 100 members of his class were selected to become aviation officers, and it's more competitive than some would think.
Cardillo said he needs to work harder to improve his class standing to ensure he makes the cut for aviation. Last year, he completed the required aptitude test and will schedule the flight physical shortly, as he checks off all the requirements toward his goal.
"Then I just need to demonstrate to the branch that this is where I want to be," Cardillo said.
There were more than a few West Point graduates participating in Branch Week. Second Lt. Nargis Kabiri, Class of 2010, is a field artillery platoon leader, and introduced cadets to the Soldiers she brought from 1-321 Army Field Artillery Regiment from Fort Bragg, N.C. They demonstrated teamwork in operating the light artillery weapon called a "Triple 7," or more properly known as the M777A2 medium towed howitzer.
Three graduates joined forces during a branch panel discussion to represent the Engineer Corps. Capt. John Chambers, a 2006 graduate, serves as the chief of training for the Sapper Leader Course. He spoke to cadets alongside 1st Lt. Rachel Neasham, Class of 2009, and 2nd Lt. Michael Eckland, Class of 2011, both of whom are serving as platoon leaders in the 57th Sapper Company at Fort Bragg, N.C. Maj. Anna Maria Slemp, a Class of 1995 graduate, joined her husband Maj. Timothy Slemp from Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., to represent the Military Police.
In years past, branch education has largely been presented to upper-class cadets with a Branch Day organized each summer for rising yearlings during Cadet Field Training and subsequent junior leader panels to allow cadets to gain perspective from various branch proponent officers.
Branch Week serves to consolidate those events and organize activities to educate the entire Corps. It involved an integrated effort with faculty encouraged to discuss branches in the classroom, lead tours of branch equipment and review mission capabilities. Cadets in the Military Science, or MS200, course are required to write a paper listing their top three branch choices and explain why they are suited to those branches.
Cadets in the Class of 2013 and 2014 rotated through three branch panel discussions at Eisenhower Hall. These also allow squad and team leaders to pass on their knowledge about branch missions to the members of the Class of 2016 and lead them on display tours.
Maj. Dallas Cheatham, DMI's infantry and armor branch representative, said by shifting the focus away from just the upper-class cadets, it has become a stronger four-year program to benefit the entire Corps. Previous events mostly centered on combat arms, whereas Branch Week is all-inclusive.
Cheatham said this will help cadets to think about their choices early on and avoid making any misguided or uninformed decisions.
"We are revitalizing the way cadets learn about these branches and Branch Week allows us to bring in all the branches at once so we can focus on cadet education," he said. "Now all four classes are involved."
Cheatham said most senior cadets have narrowed down their branch preferences into a top three list and have had opportunities to hone their decisions while conducting Cadet Summer Training and Cadet Troop Leader Training programs. In addition to Branch Week, the junior cadets will have one more summer of military training to assist in making their branch choice.
"A lot of times we assume the cadets, being who they are and where they are, already know this stuff but that's not the case," Cheatham said. "So we have to put in the extra effort to get them smart about what they want to do for the rest of their careers."
Staff Sgt. Danella Coleman wanted to share the ever-expanding role of the Chemical Corps in the Army with cadets. She said they were surprised to learn about all the equipment used by the Chemical Corps to accomplish its jobs.
"I tried to tell them why they need to be a part of the Chemical Corps and what they can get out of it," she said. "We're the best of the best. We travel here, there and everywhere and you can use these skills when you leave the Army."
She thinks her message got through to more than a few cadets.
"I honestly do, because I saw cadets coming back here who wanted to see more of what we do and ask a few more questions," she said. "They wanted more in-depth information and to learn more about what opportunities they would have if they came to the same unit I'm in (the 22nd Chemical Battalion, Technical Escort Unit, Aberdeen, Md.)."
Class of 2016 Cadet Pablo Zuniga, Company D-1, took advantage of the vast array of Army knowledge spread out in Central Area.
"I really like this opportunity because, for me, the whole idea of planning ahead and being ready to follow through on a goal and a mission to accomplish -- it's nice to get started so early," said Zuniga, from Chicago, Ill. "Getting this now, we have four years to adjust our schedules and adjust what we are aiming for so we can focus toward a goal of what we want to do and how to get there."
Class of 2014 Cadet Emily Monk, Company H-2, said Branch Week was a great opportunity to explore Army careers, and because it is a week-long event, what she didn't get to visit one day will still be available the next.
"For me, it's a great chance to learn more about what each branch is all about, so I can make a more informed decision about what I want to do," Monk, from Rochester, Minn., said.
She said because not every class previously had this amount of branch orientation before, Branch Week was a unique event she hopes will be available every year.
Though his focus is on aviation, Branch Week allowed Cardillo to learn about other branches that interest him, and those he didn't know much about. Branch Week aside, cadets can get the information they need from their tactical officers, noncommissioned officers and military instructors, he said.
"They are really open to talking about their experiences," Cardillo said. "The branch reps here are easy to find too. It's really a matter of how much you, as a cadet, want to go learn about the branches. The opportunities are there and West Point makes them available, but you have to make the effort to talk to people and ask questions."
The week of branch orientation ends Sept. 15, following the Army-North Illinois football game with a Combined Arms Tailgate where cadets can speak with branch leaders in a social atmosphere. | http://www.army.mil/article/87170/West_Point_Branch_Week_offers_education__mentorship_for_cadets/ | 2013-05-18T10:22:22 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Technical Abstract:
Legume and cereal cover crop combinations can provide numerous benefits to the soil environment and the following vegetable crops. The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of twenty-four cover crop combinations for potential use prior to spring planted, no-tillage, organic, vegetable production systems. The research was conducted at Walton's Family Farm (Muskogee, OK) on a Parsons silt loam soil. The research included both summer and winter cereals and legumes. Each cover crop combination (legume and cereal) was planted on 30-in wide 7-in high raised beds. The summer annual cover crops compared two planting dates (late July or mid August) for eight cover crop combinations, four legumes each combined with one of two cereal crops. The four legumes used for the summer annual cover crops included cowpea, soybean, sunn hemp and lablab. Each of these legumes was combined with either foxtail millet or sorghum Sudan. The summer cover crops grew until the first hard frost in the fall. The winter cover crops, which were planted in mid September, compared sixteen winter cover crop combinations, eight legumes each combined with one of two cereal crops. The eight winter legumes included hairy vetch, crimson clover, field peas, berseem clover, common vetch, subterranean clover, and two woolypod vetches. Each of these legumes was combined with either rye or barley. The winter cover crop combinations were cut just above the soil surface when the legume portion reached 50' 70% flowering. Low summer soil moisture levels often adversely affected the summer cover crops. The earliest summer cover crop planting produced greater growth and dry matter than the late summer cover crop planting. The summer cover crops established protective crop canopies and root systems sooner than the winter cover crops. The woolypod vetches usually initiated flowering 2-3 weeks prior to the standard winter legume, hairy vetch, but they also tended to produce less dry matter. Although it may be more ideal to cut hairy vetch at mid to late bloom to maximize dry matter production, it may be more advantageous to cut hairy vetch sooner to provide for an earlier, more timely planting date for spring vegetables. Subterranean clover's very dense, tight-knit, rug-like growth on the soil surface created a very competitive environment for reducing weed establishment and growth. Crimson and berseem clover provided an intermediate plant architecture, producing ample dry matter, but with a lower dry matter density at the soil surface compared to subterranean clover, and more dry matter in the mid range than the taller and more spindly hairy vetch. Crimson and berseem clover's intermediate growth also produce a more balanced cereal and legume mix than the other winter legumes. The research demonstrated the advantages and disadvantages involved with each cover crop combination and will provide important management information for selecting the optimum cover crop for specific producer requirements. | http://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publications.htm?SEQ_NO_115=161004 | 2013-05-18T10:42:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Technical Abstract:
This paper reports on the first major study of the incidence of indicator organisms and pathogens found within Class B biosolids across the U.S. since the promulgation of the EPA Part 503 Rule in 1993. concentrations were uniformly high, regardless of whether they were bacteria (fecal coliforms) or viruses (phage). Historic distributions were collected between 1988 and 2006, at one location in Tucson, Arizona. By comparing data collected prior to and after 1993, the influence of the EPA Part 503 Rule on indicator and pathogen levels within Class B biosolids can be inferred. In general, both bacterial indicator and pathogen loads (bacterial and viral) decreased from the 1980s to present. Presumably this is due to better and more consistent treatment of the wastewater, illustrating that the Part 503 Rule has been effective in reducing public exposure to pathogens relative to 25 years ago. The percent reduction of both indicators and pathogens during anaerobic mesophilic digestion was between 94 and 99% for all organisms illustrating that such treatment is effective in reducing pathogen loads. | http://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publications.htm?seq_no_115=253022 | 2013-05-18T10:34:11 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
By Richard Clarke
“To the 4,500 people up there at Bradford who didn’t see us qualify, I would like to say we are really sorry.
“They were absolutely amazing on the night but we have to put that game behind us and take care of what we can do something about. That’s the future.
“We have to focus on the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup - that’s what is in front of us. It’s a good opportunity to show we are strong and mentally prepared to achieve our ambition. That’s what our job is about.”
Those words belonged to Arsène Wenger ahead of the trip to Reading on Monday night.
When the Arsenal manager did his media work late last week, the defeat at Bradford was still painfully fresh. While it feels like an opportunity lost, the Capital One Cup cannot be allowed to cloud Arsenal’s season.
Even lifting the trophy would not overshadow failure in the other competitions - and you cannot say that for the Premier League or Champions League.
But think of it this way. Arsenal will be in third spot when the whistle blows at the DW Stadium on Saturday if they beat Reading and Wigan this week. Meanwhile they find out their opponents in the Champions League knockout round on Thursday morning.
Yes, Tottenham and Chelsea have the opportunity to overtake that league position by the end of the weekend and the draw could be tough as Wenger’s men did not win Group B in the first half of the season.
But, to break the rules of grammar for a moment, this is all not nothing.
Arsenal need to play to get Bradford out of their heads and they need victories, pure and simple, to present their plight more positively.
The questioning quarters have spotlighted pretty much everyone at the Club at some point in the Wenger era, it is the modern way. Yet the Frenchman’s tenure has seen Arsenal move inexorably in the direction of one of its oldest mottos – forward. Stumbles happen, the strong rediscover their balance at the crucial time.
When asked about supposed issues in his backroom the manager replied: “We are a united staff team.
“I believe it’s a good opportunity to show that we are strong inside the Club and let people talk.
“We are criticised when our results are not good - we have to take that on the chin.
“We are in a position where it’s down to us,” he went on. “I think we had a good game against West Brom..”
And the next pair of games are away to teams in the relegation places.
A more inquisitive glance at the Premier League table would suggest Arsenal are a very different team on their travels. Their eight games at Emirates Stadium have seen 28 goals, their eight away have involved exactly half that.
“It’s difficult to explain because we play the same system with the same attacking style,” said Wenger. “Maybe at home, the other teams attack a bit more against us than they do at the Emirates. It’s true that we’ve dropped points at home this season and we want to rectify it. Away from home, we want to continue the quality of our games and get the points.”
Reading went bottom of the Premier League over the weekend thanks to QPR’s victory over Fulham. Brian McDermott’s side have won only once this season in the Premier League and, of course, they lost 7-5 to Arsenal at the Madjeski Stadium last month after being 4-0 up inside 30 minutes.
“They had a quick start and they pushed us with four goals in 20 minutes - from 15 to 35,” he said. “Offensively they were very impressive on the night.
“It was all a bit off the cuff in that game and the Premier League is always a bit more structured so you expect less openings at the back and therefore it could be tighter. But we want to be on top of it and win the game.
“For me Reading are a team who deserve a lot of credit because they came up last year, in my opinion, surprisingly. They make it difficult for every team in every game, so we expect a battle. Our results are quite consistent and good away from home. But we had a good game against West Brom and it’s important to confirm that in our next away game.”
Reading manager McDermott cut his teeth as player at Highbury under Terry Neill in the 1980s. Wenger has been impressed by his rise through the coaching ranks at Reading.
“He’s done very well - especially to get them up last season,” said Wenger. “I think that was exceptional. They play positive football. He’s a manager who has a future.
“The Premier League is difficult. I think every year, the teams are closer to each other [in the race to get up], so every game is a cup final. But I believe Reading were always very close and he has done extremely well to put them up there.”
It has not been easy to be an Arsenal supporter over the past week. But the advantage of sport is that you can just dust yourself down and move on.
Bradford happened. It has been discussed, digested and apologised for.
While it should not be forgotten, it cannot be consciously remembered as a reminder of Arsenal’s season.
There is so much more to play for than that.

From Buffalo to San Francisco
After years of working in theater in the Buffalo area, NY City, and Toronto, Joseph Krysiak felt like making a move. In 1969 he packed his belongings into a truck and moved to San Francisco with his wife Judith and a cat. Judith took a job at a Nob Hill hotel and Joe perused the newspapers looking for space to rent for a new theater.
Joe heard about Project One and went to check it out, but it was full and there was no space for a theater, but he got the idea of making his own project in a different building. He found the 499 Alabama building which rented for $10,000.00 a month, around 2.5 cents a square foot, but, he needed a $3,000 deposit to close the deal. He met Susan, a former Navy engineer, who and had saved some money for a sex change and she agreed to finance the deposit.
Joe set up the 499 Alabama Corporation to handle the account. He rented space in the building to other artists for six cents square foot, which, in retrospect, he realizes was a mistake. He should have charged more.
Although he originally took out the lease with the intention of building a theater, Joe first had to cope with the monstrous task of cleaning and remodeling the space for his theatre to live. So he turned himself into a construction manager, locating and organizing large shipments of construction materials.
He cut a 0% interest deal with National Gypsum for delivery of sheetrock which he sold to the tenants at costs, and found a source for metal studs and 1 X 12 pinewood shelving. The pine was used to cover large portions of the creosote-soaked floors. Some people tried a surface scraper on the floor but it was a long and cumbersome job and the extra layer of wood worked best to keep the oil from seeping to the surface.
Susan was a great partner in many ways. She used the crane to unload big pallets of sheetrock, metal studs, wood and other materials into the theater bay from the Florida Street truck dock, and then got the elevator humming.
Soon after he procured the lease, Joe started to collect tenants to pay for the place and ended up with a strange assortment of characters: the hoarder C-Ray, Black Sheep Press, fabric artists, theater and circus performers, leather workers, painters, sculptors, jewelers, photographers, cinematographers, artists of all stripes and colors, famous and infamous, and Dan Brown, a house-builder.
Dan Brown's House-Building School
Dan wanted space to teach house-building techniques by building a house on the property. At first he wanted to build the house outdoors, then he decided to build it in the big theater space. He built it, de-constructed it, and built it again, until the fire department made him take it down for good, but not before the school had attracted a group of talented artisans and tradesmen in the construction industry as tenants, who repaired the heating system, kept the plumbing and electricity flowing and the elevator humming. Not only talented and artistic people were attracted to Project Artaud.
Unfortunately, there were scores of crazies walking in the unlocked doors as well. There was one really weird young guy, they was later discovered to be on elephant tranquilizers. He would get up in the middle of the night and run around chasing people with a ax. It took a while to get rid of him because the cops would have nothing to do with him. Finally they managed to get him into a hospital.
Tenant Meeting
Joe and his team of managers, attempted to hold weekly tenant meetings to allow everyone some semblance of participation in running the place. Not many people came to the meetings, but, of course they then complained about the way things were handled.
Joe attempted to get back into his theater work when he met Ferlinghetti, who called to rent the theater for a poetry reading he was producing with Yevtashenko and Broshenski. This became a huge deal, with international attention which put Project Artaud on the map. The fire department came to investigate and freaked. No way could they have huge numbers of people in that space with no fire exits, etc. Mayor Agnos intervened and told them to “find a way”. The only way the fire chief could figure it out was to station fire engines on all four sides of the building. So the first big event at Project Artaud, was staged with fire engines. The relationship with Ferlinghetti became very important to Joe. When left Artaud Joe started City Lights Poetry Theatre with Lawrence.
The notoriety from the Ferlinghetti event brought other events producers out of the woodwork. After the non-profit Project Artaud Corporation was set up, one of the members with the Ant Farm brought the heir to the “Piggly Wiggly” fortune, who produced one of the biggest free events ever ever staged in San Francisco. They set up huge inflatables, hired Sun Ra and advertised free food. During the height of the hippie movement in San Francisco in the 1970s, anything free was popular and this was way too big.
The Purchase
Everyone at Artaud watched in awe as the public streamed in and did the kind of weird things the public does. The immensity of that event caused many to want to scale back on the public image. In 1971 there was a big fire in Noel Perentti’s Dance Studio resulting in a considerable amount of damage to annex section of the building. Even though there were fire sprinklers in that part of the property they were not turned on. When the insurance company offered a $10,000 settlement, the non-profit Project Artaud used the money for a down payment to purchase the property from Pacific Pipe. They were only too willing to unload what was considered a white elephant onto the backs of a bunch of hippie artists.
Public exposure brought problems with the local Latino community. Gangs were coming onto the property attacking people. There was a stabbing incident in the parking lot, when a tenant struck back in self-defense. Some members of Artaud feared retaliation and armed themselves.
Fortunately there was no escalation in violence and the neighborhood thugs got the message that all the hippies were not peaceful willing victims. Other matters of concern and stress were making Artaud less of a picnic for Joe and Judy. There was a strange guy in the parking lot who wanted to rent the theater space for a church, which Joe objected to. Joe was having issues with a splinter group of second floor tenants, who didn’t like the way management was operating. Collecting rents from poor people had always been a problem, but it was getting worse. Meetings he conducted with the concerned parties were unproductive.
Joe needed a break. He was overworked and tired of fighting to keep it together. Even though he had not found anyone to turn the project over to, he took off to the Redwoods for a week to cool down and relax. The longer he stayed away the better he felt. By the end of the week Joe thought he was ready to face it again, but, as he drove up to the building the old pains and anxiety returned. He knew it was time to bow out of the construction phase and go back to his theatre roots. Some time ago Joe had realized that the huge theater space was He had was inappropriate for his intimate style of theatre, so he hooked up with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, started City Lights Poetry Theatre, and left Project Artaud to fend for itself.
The Early Years
When Joe was studying graphic design at University of Buffalo in upstate New York, he was enamored of a female modern dance student who invited him along for a play she was auditioning for. He said, “Why would you want to be in this play, these people are awful.” She dared him to try and see how much better he could do. He took the dare and won a part, discovered he loved the stage. The play was “On the Town” by Leonard Bernstein.
Prior to acting Joe had a stutter. Once he went on stage the stutter went away. He became very serious about theater, studying in Toronto and at the New York City at Actors’ Workshop. There he met people who invited him to the San Diego Shakespeare Festival in 1965. He got his first taste of Hollywood types and he found them to be superficial. He returned to Buffalo started directing so he could perform the pieces he wanted to perform.
Mac Mahoney operated a small coffee shop in Buffalo called The Green Sleeve which he sold to Joe. After running the coffee shop with musicians and poets performing for a while Joe decided to tear it down and rebuild it into a small theater with 70-80 raked seats. He produced, directed and designed sets the way he envisioned them.
Joe’s work caught the eye of other producers and he was offered shows at the Albright Knox Gallery, where he was hired to direct some of the shows the wanted by Ianesco and contemporary Spanish and German playwrights. He stayed as long as the material interested him, them left. Offers started coming in from all over and grants as well.
Some important university people who invited him to a theater after party and he brought along the mixed race cast of the show he was working with at the time. The host was furious, and called him into a room where he screamed at him for bring uninvited guests, and insisted that they leave. Joe calmly left the room, gathered the troupe, told them to drink one more drink and then they would all get up and leave in unison. That is what they did. He later found out he was being courted for a position at the university. Needless to say, he failed that test.
Joe prefers to start projects, but day to day routine is a killer for him. When he was in the army in Germany during the Korean war, Joe was sent to code school and trained in typing translations on the mill. As long as it was a challenge he was fulfilled by it, but once it became routine he lost interest.
Creative Life in Massachusetts
Today Joe lives a creative life outside the theater with his wife Mimi in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. Mimi is a distinguished upholsterer and runs a successful shop. Joe helps with a little wood finishing, loves to cook in his recently remodeled kitchen, take care of the house, play with the dogs, feed the thousand of birds that depend on him every winter, work out at the gym and play golf.
Joe feels that he experienced the hottest theater from the 1960’s to 1975 and doesn’t care much for the derivative shows that are going on now. His biggest passion is astrophysics and cosmology. He reads avidly, doesn’t accept the big bang theory, and yearns for more positive thinking on the whole creative process.
As far as Joe is concerned, anything you do for money is a job and you should like what you do with your time rather than chasing after money. | http://www.artaudsf.org/KrysiakStory.html | 2013-05-18T10:12:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

We just got a foot of snow over the last two days! This is the most I've seen since moving to North Carolina from Boston. So fun!! Maia is in seventh heaven. She's been going out several times a day to play in the snow.
She and Harry made a great big snowman and lots of snow angels.
And here's our snow day baking from yesterday -- an almond cake from Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess. Yum. I'm trying (on the domestic goddess front) and occasionally succeed briefly. At least as long as you don't look at the rest of the house -- which is draped with wet winter coats, boots, mittens, hats and who knows what else.
Maya made is a great inspirational blog. There's always something crafty going on their. Thanks for the interview. What a great childhood and it looks as if she passing it along. | http://www.artfulparent.com/2009/12/index.html | 2013-05-18T10:20:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Richard Quigley, Our True American Biker Folk Hero
Raymond L Henke
<b>AuthorBio:</b> <br> Raymond L. Henke - For additional information you may consider the discussion devoted specifically to this subject, at <a href=""> California Cell Phone Lawyers</a> Or, Principle attorney with the <a href=""> California Auto Accident Lawyers Group</a>
By Raymond L Henke
Published on 02/10/2009, Our True American Biker Folk Hero, Quig to his friends, didn't play a film role. He was our real-thing American biker folk hero. Quig passed away this past year of lukemia, but he worked tirelessly right through to his last breath, as he had for the past 17 years, urging non-violent civil disobedience and constitutional court challenge as the means to regain biker dignity and throw off the shackles of paternalistic government oppression. Quig is perhaps best known for obtaining the California Superior Court decision that the California motorcycle helmet law is unconstitutionally vague as applied. Quig obtained the verdict by wearing his trademark BOLT baseball cap helmet with the letters DOT embroidered on the back, obtaining the last 9 of 40 illegal CHP and police helmet tickets. The helmet law citations were patently illegal because they were written in violation of the restrictive constitutional interpretation of the California helmet law which Quig and his friend, truck driver Steve Bianco, obtained shortly after the helmet law was enacted. This case did not void the helmet law only because the cowardly California Attorney General strategically declined to appeal it, less concerned with his oath to uphold the California and United States Constitutions than to preserve the ability a little longer for the CHP to continue illegally to enforce the law.
Quig had two California helmet cases in the works as his last days approached, one in the appellate court to clarify that helmet tickets are "fix it" tickets, and the second case to obtain a declaration from the Court that the CHP was illegally enforcing the law, and for an injunction ordering the CHP to cease and desist its illegal enforcement practices. For a more complete discussion of Quig's cases, making plain their constitutional sense from the legal perspective, you may consider
"Constitutional Law, The California Motorcycle Lawyers Perspective."
But, returning to this great man, Richard Quigley, I know that he worked right through to his last breath on these cases, fighting for the freedom and dignity of all California bikers, because I spoke with him just about every day of the last year and a half of his life on this earth as he managed the legal strategy in his two last cases brought to bring down the California helmet law. On his request, I also wrote an Amicus Brief, a "friend of the court" brief, in the fix-it ticket litigation, and worked with him on the strategy in both cases literally right up to the day before he died, the day he accepted the morphine he'd put off up until then to keep his head clear while he pressed this litigation. By then it was no longer to secure his own freedom, as he'd lain bedridden in excruciating pain for the preceding several months, selling his Harley Davidson the saddest moment of his life. By then, his work was meant only to secure your dignity and freedom.
I wish you could have known Quig. Imagine ZZ Top. Quig would have made three. But Quig was a real street fighter when it came to the use of his voice. He had a gruff, gravely voice with which he had long intimidated the California Highway Patrol and police up in Santa Cruz County, California. So you can get your geographic bearings, Santa Cruz is just spitting distance from Hollister, which was where the Booze Fighters were loosely depicted in the newspapers of the time, and then, in the Wild One, as having taken over the town in a drunken brawl.
I looked up the definition of "folk hero" to make sure I would use it correctly, and Quig falls squarely within the definition:
"A folk hero is type of hero, real or in mythology, who is loathed by the rich and powerful but idolized by the common person, often stealing from the former to make life better for the latter. The folk hero generally starts off as a regular person, but is transformed into someone extraordinary by their rebellion against oppression upon their own lives."
Quig was a child prodigy, a concert pianist, but his was not a happy childhood. It is important, in order to understand Quig well, to know that the seeds of his rebellion were planted early. At six years of age he ran away from home for the first time, with his dog, and his gun, a 22 rifle. He made it 300 miles, from his home in Morenci Arizona to Silver City, New Mexico. The resourceful kid thought he had a job cleaning rooms in a small motel, but he found he'd been mislead by the motel owners when his parents came to retrieve him. Later in life Quig worked every kind of straight job from bartender and car salesman to corporate marketing executive. As with the folk heroes described in the above definition Quig had his defining moment when he was harassed one day by a Santa Cruz policeman. He was pulled over in his van, got out and walked to the back of the van, the policemen ordered him to get his registration and pushed him up toward the door. Quig reached over his 45 Magnum and grabbed the registration. The harassment continued and Quig realized at that moment that we were all vulnerable to bad cops. He took a stand with the police department. Internal affairs did an investigation, but upon the officer's denials, took no action. Quig sued the officer in Superior Court, and won a judgment against the County, for one dollar. It was a victory of principle.
That was the beginning, and Quig never let up, right through to his death. He got the Sheriff removed from office, the conclusion of a toe to toe battle over police harassment, and a $45,000 1st Amendment judgment against the City after the Sheriff threatened a radio station for one of Quig's "commentaries" on his weekly radio show..
Quig's work opposing helmet legislation began simply with his refusal to wear a helmet, evolving with the law to lead him to test the CHP and police, and at the same time testing whether the helmet law was capable of being constitutionally enforced, by his use of the "Bikers of Lesser Tolerance," DOT-labeled baseball cap helmet. He fought some 40 helmet cases over the past 16 years in the trial and appellate courts leading up to the most recent ones which came to the attention of the biker community only on the eve of Quig's death. There is a wonderful story attached to each one, representing the evolution of his tactics in defeating the helmet law prosecutions, changing the law, rendering the law unenforceable, except as the CHP and local police now enforce it illegally, the basis first for a federal injunction against the CHP and now the determination by the Santa Cruz court that the law is unconstitutionally vague "as applied" by the CHP.
For 15 years Quig would argue with police by the side of the road about the words and meaning of the California helmet law, his tape recorder in hand, setting the cops up to be torn apart at trial. The California Court of Appeals interpretation of the California helmet law defined the legal requirements both for the rider and the cop, and this was law that Quig and his friend, Steve Bianco created upon their challenge to the helmet law as unconstitutionally vague. He would cross-examine the CHP officer or policeman relentlessly in Court, and then he would argue eloquently in his own sometimes wild way to the Judge about the inherent vagueness in the CHP's helmet law enforcement policies.
He filed briefs with the Court that were written in language that was on the one hand amazingly typical of very good legal brief writing, but as if unable to restrain himself, he would throw in a side remark, or a four letter word, sometimes in parentheses, that one can only imagine brought a roll of the eyes and belly laugh to the Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge who had been hearing his accumulation of helmet law violation prosecutions. His briefs were sprinkled also with appropriate citations to relevant cases, and to the evidence which he had gathered, including, perhaps most significantly, the internal CHP bulletins setting forth what are certainly illegal helmet law enforcement policies, noncompliant with the law he created.
Quig had the CHP backed up into the corner, and it is just a shame that the CHP didn't just lay down and give up during Quig's life, after he obtained the highly reasoned legal decision from the California Superior Court holding that the helmet law was unconstitutionally vague as (illegally) "applied' by California law enforcement. The California Highway Patrol sets the standards by which traffic laws are enforced by all law enforcement officers in the State of California. Yet in the CHP policy manuals and in Quig's wonderful interrogation of the various CHP officers who had given him helmet citations, he demonstrated that the CHP had been laboring under a number of fundamental misunderstandings which render the law unconstitutional as it is enforced. One example is that the CHP policy manuals instruct law enforcement that it is only "DOT approved helmets" which are legal; but as Quig is quick to point out, there are no DOT approved helmets; the Department of Transportation doesn't "approve" helmets. Manufacturers certify helmets as in compliance with the federal motorcycle helmet performance standard, FMVSS 218. The manufacturers are required to affix the DOT certification to the helmet, but there is no law that requires that the biker must maintain the certification on the helmet. So the absence of the manufacturer's certification of itself cannot form the basis for citation. The CHP policy manual also permits the officers to make judgments about whether the helmets appear from their fabrication to meet the FMVSS 218 specifications, but as Quig points out, that is way beyond the education, training or expertise of a CHP officer. FMVSS 218 is just a description of laboratory procedures and arbitrary impact standards stating nothing about what a helmet should be constructed out of or what it should look like. It requires specific laboratory equipment, trained engineers, and the helmets are destroyed in testing. The California Court of Appeals, in the very first case up, held that it was "absurd" to posit that the law required the biker, or permitted the cop, to consider helmet fabrication in determining whether any particular helmet met FMVSS 218 specifications. In the Bianco case, taken to the Court of Appeals by Quig and his truck driver friend, Steve Bianco, the Court of Appeals reinterpreted the law to conform to constitutional principles, by holding that if a helmet has a DOT label a "presumption" arises that the helmet meets FMVSS 218 specifications, and that the ONLY way for the cops and prosecutors to rebut the presumption is (1) where the helmet model has been recalled by the manufacturer or determined by NHTSA to be noncompliant with FMVSS 218, AND, (2) where the biker has "actual knowledge" of the recall or determination of non-compliance. The CHP should have just laid down after this decision. See
"The California Motorcycle Lawyers Perspective."
Instead, the CHP just continued to enforce the law illegally, based on their incompetent fabrication analyses. This led Quig and Steve Bianco to initiate additional helmet litigation subsequently taken over and funded by Easyriders magazine, leading to the federal district courts extensive decision indicting the CHP for its illegal helmet law enforcement policies, and the United States Court of Appeals decision, based on the 4th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution, issuing the first ever federal injunction against the California Highway Patrol, ordering it to cease and desist issuing helmet tickets to riders whose helmets have the letters DOT on them unless the cop has "probable cause" to believe that the biker "knows" that his headgear was recalled by the manufacturer or determined by NHTSA to be noncompliant with FMVSS 218.
Of course Quig was right, but all too often what is right gets lost in our Court system particularly when to find a man like Quig "right' means rendering toothless a law enacted by our California legislature. But Quig had the wonderful good fortune to find himself before a truly courageous Judge, Michael Barton, who I think both tolerated and admired Quig's quick witted and sometimes outrageous courtroom personality. In August Judge Barton threw out the last 9 helmet citations of a total of around 40 or so that Quig received over his last 16 years; however, this time the Court threw out the tickets on the grounds that the California helmet law, as enforced by the CHP, is unconstitutionally vague. After the California Attorney General declined to appeal Judge Barton's decision, Quig fashioned another case, this one a civil action against the CHP for declaratory and injunctive relief, based on the same constitutional law and the same evidence that required Judge Barton's decision that the CHP's policy of illegally enforcing the California helmet law had become a matter of intolerable infringement of constitutional rights. Anticipating that the Attorney General would attempt to draw the case out until Quig died, he invited four other BOLT members to join with him in the declaratory relief/injunction case, including Steve Bianco, and Don Blancet, co-founder of BOLT California and currently also the executive director of ABATE California, Red Barron and Mike Osborne. Quig's deposition was taken by videotape for presentation at the trial, so he will be heard, and the evidence of his police oppression presented at the trial which we hope will once and for all vindicate Quig's constitutional arguments and obtain for all us California bikers who have survived Quig, our common, ordinary dignity to make our own safety choices, and our freedom from paternalistic government oppression and police harassment.
Assuming that the Santa Cruz Superior Court shall issues the injunction, at that point the CHP and California Attorney General will be presented with the question whether they will appeal it. If they do, it will go first to our California intermediate appellate court, and then possibly to our Supreme Court. There is a good likelihood that the appellate courts will uphold the injunction, and the reason this is true is that Quig has laid such a good evidentiary record in the lower court with regard to the illegality of the CHP policies in violation of the overriding constitutional law Quig and Bianco previously established in the California Courts of Appeals.
Yeah, Richard Quigley is our real-thing American biker folk hero. I miss him every day. But then whether the larger biker community may realize it in the precisely same way, so do you. We all lost our most aggressive defender of our freedom. And whether you would chose to ride with a helmet or without one, Quig was fighting for you. The government doesn't tell auto drivers to wear helmets, although it would save many more lives each year, nor does the government tell horsemen or skiers to wear helmets. Each are permitted to make their own safety choices, and each would protest just as vehemently if the government would so paternalistically presume to intrude upon their personal decisions. This is about freedom, and it is about our common, ordinary dignity. Richard Quigley fought for the dignity of all bikers not to have our riding dress code dictated by a bunch of auto drivers who happen to hold public office. Whether you care about your freedom to chose, you must care about your dignity as a man. Richard Quigley is our American biker folk hero because he fought for every biker's freedom from paternalistic government oppression and our common dignity.

AADLA - Art and Antique Dealers League of America
The AADLA, The Art and Antique Dealers League of America has over 100 fine art and antiques dealers in more than 80 fields of expertise.
The Art and Antique Dealers League of America, Inc., is the oldest and principal antiques and fine arts organization in America. It is an outgrowth of the Antiques Dealers Luncheon Club, which on January 7, 1926, met at the Madison Hotel in New York City and formed the Antique and Decorative Arts League. In 1942, "to give the organization a wider ramification in every phase of the arts," the name was changed to the Art and Antique Dealers League of America, Inc.
The purpose in formatting the league was to bring the various members of the art and antiques trade closer together to promote a greater understanding among themselves and with the public, and generally to devote itself to the best interest of dealers and collectors of antiques and works of art.
The late James P. Montllor, an expert in Spanish art, was the primary mover behind the organization at its inception and throughout its early years. The first president was the noted collector and dealer, Charles J. Duveen.
In 1935 the League was one of six of the founding members of C.I.N.O.A. (La Confederation International des Negociants en Oeuvres d' Art), which is an international organization of art dealer’s associations.
The League has strict standards for accepting members into the organization. Each applicant must be an established dealer whose art objects are of the highest quality and who subscribes to a high moral code of ethics. Each member must follow each of the Code of Ethics.

GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY is pleased to present Leo Villareal : Volume. This is Villareal’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.
For his first solo exhibition in New York since 2007, Villareal has installed a single, immersive work. Over 20,000 white LED nodes are suspended in a three-dimensional matrix of mirror-finished stainless steel. Its cylindrical form is at once dense and ephemeral, as it shimmers and oscillates between dimensions. Controlled by software code that the artist developed over an extensive period of time, like a composer working over a score, the nodes cycle through a seemingly infinite series of patterns and movements, fast and slow, bright and dark. The piece is a dazzling tone poem that draws the viewer into a deep, abstract space as it warps temporal and visual perception.
Villareal received his BA from Yale University and his MPS from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Throughout his career, Villareal has sought to work with the newest developments in technology, beginning with strobe lights in 1997 and moving into the LEDs utilized in this exhibition.
His work is represented in many international collections including The Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; Arario Museum, Seoul, Korea; Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY; IFEMA, Madrid, Spain; Margulies Collection, Miami, FL; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; and the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum, Kagawa, Japan. He has constructed site-specific commissions at such locations as Borusan Music & Art House, Istanbul, Turkey; Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn, NY; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; PS1/MoMA, Long Island City, NY; Grand Central Station, New York, NY; and the Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, Mexico.
The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC acquired his site-specific, 200-ft long permanent installation Multiverse in 2008. His work is currently on view in the exhibition Altered States at the
Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, FL. Villareal’s first major museum survey exhibition debuted at the San Jose Museum of Art in California last year and is currently on view at the Nevada
Museum of Art, Reno, NV. It will travel to the Nerman Museum of Art, Overland Park, KS, and Telfair Museum of Art, Savannah, GA. A catalogue published by Hatje Cantz accompanies the exhibition.

From labels to wineries to Chardonnay-toned house paint, an exhibition considers the visual culture of wine.
When Yellow Tail was introduced, in 2001, it was just another cheap Australian wine with no innovative flavors, celebrity spokesperson, or following among oenophiles. What it had was a (then) unusual kind of label, featuring bold colors and composition, sparse sans-serif text, and a playful sketch of a yellow-footed rock wallaby. Two years later, it was the best-selling imported wine in the United States.
Just a few decades earlier, such a phenomenon in the staid world of wine would have been unthinkable. However, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art architecture and design curator Henry Urbach says the design culture of wine has grown increasingly sophisticated since 1976, when a blind tasting in Paris by prominent critics pronounced California’s top wines superior to France’s. The results ignited a new era of global competition that turned the wine business into a spectator sport. “How Wine Became Modern: Design + Wine 1976 to Now,” Urbach’s exhibition at SFMoMA from November 20 to April 17, will explore the “visual culture of wine”: the labels, bottles, glasses, carafes, openers, and winery buildings that have helped define buying habits and perceptions of wine over the last 35 years.
In the mid-’70s, consumers developed a new culture of appreciation and one-upmanship, and winemakers began innovating, with new wines and new packaging. The standard label, still in use, employs a cursive font, little color, and sometimes a small etching, say of the vineyard’s château. Its anachronism carries the patina of tradition. New labels borrow their style from a range of art movements—Art Deco, outsider art, 1950s modernism, Impressionism, and social realism—hoping to create a certain “brand feeling.” Some labels go for humor, with cartoonish drawings of a drunken winemaker or a frog relieving itself into a stream and names such as “Vin de Merde,” “Fat Bastard,” “Mad Housewife,” “Goats do Roam,” and “Blasted Church.” In the exhibition, designed by New York’s Diller Scofidio + Renfro, a wall chart classifies label styles (“Cheeky,” “Fuzzy Animals,” “Instructive,” “Meteorological”), price points, and market segments.
Wine paraphernalia also flowered into an array of shapes and sizes. One carafe in the exhibition, designed by Claudio Colucci, reveals itself when emptied to contain a wine glass inside. Such whimsy reflects the field’s growing desire to shed its reputation for solemnity and pretension. Manufacturers have also adopted the trappings of science, making decanters and carafes that profess to help oxygenate wine. There are also “glasses that tilt to facilitate smelling and ‘breathable’ glasses that are porous to oxygen,” the wall text explains. But do all these things actually make wine taste better?
The visual culture of wine employs a fair amount of hype, which the exhibition tries to separate from reality. “What we’re doing is a kind of deconstruction of cultural fantasies around wine,” Urbach says. To help with this task, Urbach enlisted several artists. In one commissioned video, the artist Dennis Adams strolls through the city of Bordeaux in a pristine, well-tailored white suit, carrying a large glass brimming with red wine. Many connoisseurs say a good wine succeeds because it embodies the terroir of the place that produced it. Mocking such thinking, as Adams walks, he recounts the notorious side of the city’s history—its collaboration with slave traders and, more recently, the Nazis—all the while spilling the wine and staining his suit.
Urbach also turned to Sissel Tolaas, best known for an installation she once made from the odors of “nine angry men.” Here, she presents the scent of a half bottle of wine on someone’s breath, a visceral reminder that the romancing of wine requires suppressing its less savory aspects—bad breath, drunk driving, alcoholism—behaviors that are ignored and excused by oenophiles caught up in the supposed nobility of their pursuit. Another commission, a video by Marco Brambilla, collages movie clips of glasses clinking, drawing attention to the social rituals that encourage or even enforce wine drinking.
The arts affect the way we perceive wine, and the reverse is also true. Wine influences the way we see color, as the artist Peter Wegner demonstrates. His commission, a large wall work, incorporates the more than 200 contemporary house-paint colors that have wine-related names: Vintage Claret, Grappa, Sweet Chardonnay, Golden Chalice, Muscatel, Blanc de Blancs, Oak Notes, Wine Barrel, Toasted Barrel, Bacchus, Rare Wine, Full Wine, Abundant Wine, Fine Wine, and even Wine Stain. Wegner makes it clear that we all fetishize wine and its accoutrements.
The exhibition doesn’t include a catalogue, but if it did, it could have noted that today even philosophers argue that great wines are works of art on par with the New World Symphony or the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Philosophers have considered wine an essential aid to thinking since antiquity, but they have also called it too subjective, simple, utilitarian, and fleeting to constitute a true esthetic experience. Now that we discuss wine as we do other arts, there are philosophers who argue that it can be elevated to the status of art.
For a striking visual proof of our decadent infatuation with wine, look no further than the hotel and spa that Frank Gehry recently erected for the Spanish winery Vinos Herederos del Marqués de Riscal. As seen in models and photographs on view in the exhibition, Riscal got the full Bilbao treatment—extravagantly curved planes of multichromatic titanium and mirror-finish steel swirl about a glittering sandstone foundation. Inside, for the price of €270, visitors can soak in a bath spiked with grapes and vine extracts.

Although I haven't written an exploit (no time--moving from Illinois to Texas), it appears that the standard stack-smashing techniques should prove workable. The "login" program checks the username length when the user is asked to type in the login name. However, if the user *provides* a login name with the "-f" flag, no such check is made. I can successfully get a segv with my binary with just over 1064 characters pushed into -f's argument. Here's a short diff which patches the problem: 401c401,402 < (void)strcpy(tbuf, username); --- > (void)strncpy(tbuf, username, sizeof(tbuf)-2); > tbuf[sizeof(tbuf)-1]=0; Interim fix: remove SUID bit on /bin/login: chmod a-s /bin/login Long-term fix: download util-linux-2.6, and apply the above patch. Basically, by removing the SUID bit on /bin/login, users won't be able to re-login by typing "exec login .........", and also won't be able to compromise your host. Normal login/logout should still work. (Tried it on my own systems, works just fine.) I do not know if this is remotely exploitable. My guess is not; however, my common sense tells me not to discount this likelihood. I am CC'ing this to the util-linux maintainer. --Joe -- :======= Joe Zbiciak =======: :- - im14u2c@bradley.edu - -: "An ounce of image is worth : - - - - - http: - - - - - : a pound of performance." ://ee1.bradley.edu/~im14u2c/: :======= DISCLAIMER: =======: -- Laurence J.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Zero! It has no value. Nobody can act without these values.
Listen, in our country we have been taught about Yama, Niyama, Aasan, Pranayama, Pratyahara , Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.
These are the basics of life; the A B C D of life.
It is better to focus on your own progress rather than focus on someone else.
If somebody is doing something wrong, do whatever you can to help them. Keep helping and serving them.
There is no end to the blame game. Otherwise you will start blaming Lord Krishna, Lord Rama, Buddha and all of them. If you look for faults in people then you will only see faults all around you.
What you should focus on is the goodness and divinity that exists in each and every person who is around us. You should think, ‘how can I help the divinity to prosper in other people?!’
Otherwise we get into a negative mindset that this world is filled with crooks and bad people. Instead think that the world is full of innocent and loving people.
There are very few bad people and many innocent people. See the good in all and try to help them whenever you | http://www.artofliving.org/us-en/10-dec-2011-qa-10 | 2013-05-18T10:53:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
You may have been practicing meditation regularly but have you noticed that at times when you sit to meditate, your mind seems to take a holiday to a world of thoughts? Learning how to meditate is the first step but do you want to move up the ladder and learn more ways of getting a deeper experience? Following a few tips can help you in this direction.
How do you feel when you help someone? Happy, satisfied? Do you also feel a burst of positive energy, like something expanding in you? Do you know why? This is because when you do service and bring a smile to someone’s face, good vibrations and blessings come to you.
Service also brings merit and it is this merit that allows you to have a deeper experience in meditation.
“When I do service, I am directly benefited with a sense of satisfaction which makes me happy and peaceful. When I am both peaceful and happy, I am guaranteed to have a deep meditation,” shares Shilpy Madan.
Imagine yourself standing on a terrace early morning, looking up the grand red sky, completely mesmerized by the beauty of the rising sun. Do you feel deep silence and oneness with the beauty - the beauty that takes you beyond words? Your mind is so calm and settled. Have you ever wondered why?
In silence, there are fewer thoughts and your mind settles down.
Most of the time when we chatter, our mind also keeps chattering. Our senses are busy collecting information and bombarding us with so many thoughts and impressions.
Silence complements meditation. When you are silent, your mind slows down and you slip into meditation more easily.
An easy way to experience silence and meditation together is the Art of Living Part-2 program that happens every weekend at the International Center of the Art of Living in Bangalore.
“Sometimes I feel stuck in an endless trail of thoughts. Keeping silence gradually reduces this bombardment of thoughts and I experience much deeper meditation,” shares Hitanshi Sachdev.
Have you observed that some days you feel very restless during your meditation and are unable to go deeper?
This is because long working hours bring stiffness to the body and aches due to this stiffness make you restless. Doing some yoga asanas frees you from this stiffness and releases restlessness. With this, your mind settles down and allows you to have a deeper experience in meditation.
Think about the days you have meditated after having oily, fried, non-vegetarian food, and the days you meditated after having light and healthy food. Do you feel a difference in your meditation? This is because your food has a direct impact on the state of your mind.
As a meditator, an ideal diet should include grains, green vegetables, fresh fruits, salads, soups, etc. – essentially foods that are light and easy to digest and high in ‘prana’.
Have you noticed how different types of music trigger different emotions in you?
We are made up of 90% or more space, so sound has a very profound effect on us. Singing in satsangs purifies emotions and you feel a sense of expansion in you. The ‘little mind’ that chatters incessantly is silenced and when you meditate, you have a deeper experience.
Keeping a discipline and honoring the practice are keys to having a deeper experience in meditation. So book your meditation time everyday and experience the magic of going deeper.
“Earlier, I used to meditate at different times of the day. Since a past few months, I meditate everyday before lunch and I observed that I have a better and deeper meditation by meditating at the same time,” shares Divya Sachdev.
Inspired by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's wisdom talks
By Divya Sachdev, based on inputs by Priyadarshini Hariram, a Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Teacher.

Now that truth and privacy have been banished from our culture, it’s not astonishing (or, apparently, actionable) that Varley O’Connor should have co-opted a chunk of a singular artist’s life and “novelized” it. Tanaquil LeClercq was not a heroine in a middle-brow tale. She was a unique, fascinating, and—for those, like me, who saw her dance—unforgettable ballerina who was dealt the worst hand imaginable—paralysis. She was, for the period O’Connor covers, the muse and wife of the New York City Ballet’s George Balanchine, the supreme choreographer of the twentieth century. Do we really want to know the couple’s pillow talk? Or the lady’s with others, plus the gentleman’s own obsessions? Or witness their slow-motion uncoupling? O’Connor hasn’t the daring, the flair for fantasy, or the writing chops to bring off a vivid romance novel. Her attribution of the one she’s written to a pair of revered artists is, to my mind, exploitive. (The Master’s Muse, Scribner, May 2012)
© 2012 Tobi Tobias
How lucky you are to have seen her dance! For others like me who were not so fortunate, an excerpt from “La Valse” with Tanaquil LeClercq and Nicholas Magallanes may be seen on Jacob’s Pillow Dance Interactive through this link:. It’s one of the very few glimpses of LeClercq available online, and I hope your readers will check it out!
I haven’t read it. Should I? Can it be any more exploitative, overwrought, and underwritten than Adrienne Sharp’s “White Swan, Black Swan: Stories” of 2001?
Amen, sister. But the non-fiction accounts of artists’ lives also violate their privacy–think of Meredith Dane’s biography of Margot Fonteyn or several biographies of Nureyev. There is, however, an excellently written fictional account of Nureyev’s life called “Dancer,” by Colum McCann, which may be the best biography out there.
I, too, loved Tanaquil LeClercq’s dancing, and was very saddened by her cruel fate.
As to this rip-off book, let’s just hope that it has low, low sales.
Congrats on your Pulitzer finalist win.
Wonderful news!
I haven’t read the novel, but I confess it wasn’t on my list of must reads in the next few months The worst is that so few people know the difference between the fictional and the real so that such novels are seen as “real” as though this has historical veracity. I agree that it is exploitative, but even more disturbing is that it is a distortion that is self-serving for the writer. But what about the public? Don’t we as readers deserve better?
Let’s hope Boris Eifman doesn’t get his hands on a copy.
This book sounds worse than the screenplay for “Black Swan.” This is total trash.
I’ve read it, I think it’s great, and not at all what you think it is. If you haven’t read it, you are writing out of ignorance. And if you have, you know damn well that your description of it is a gross misrepresentation.
For O’Connor’s side of the story, have a look here:
My husband and I were very friendly with Tanny for a few years when she and I were both teaching at Dance Theater of Harlem. Tanny was one of the brightest, wittiest people i have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and never bored you with her past life. She dealt with what she had to now, gave a hell of a ballet class from her wheelchair, and wonderful parties from her home at the Apthorp. To have her reduced to some trashy soap opera character would break my heart.
IN RESPONSE TO JOEL WAPNICK: Thank you for your Comment. I must tell you, though, that I’m offended by your suggestion that I might review a book without reading it.
Pithy pithy, pithy . . .
I saw it by chance at the library and started to read it. I thought it was strange that none of the jacket comments came from dancers. Now I know why. I never saw T.L. dance but as a dance lover, I find this “novel” bogus and offensive. I do not recommend it.
I read it at Barnes & Noble (without buying it) in an afternoon. I found it deeply offensive, badly written and invasive. As for Joel Wapnick’s remarks, he is a personal friend of O’Connor’s and did not know Tanaquil Le Clercq. Fortunately, a documentary is being made about Le Clercq and I hope it will neutralize O’Connor’s stupidly speculative fiction. It was unethical for her to write it. | http://www.artsjournal.com/tobias/2012/04/glimpses-4-re-inventing-tanny.html | 2013-05-18T10:42:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Opening a new art gallery or other art or antiques business? Looking to upgrade your
existing business management software? Read on for some important
points to consider.
what kind of system does An art or antiques business need?
The most important tool for an art or antiques business is a relational-database
information management software system. A quality relational-database
system saves untold amounts of staff time by recording, automatically
cross-linking, tracking essential information in one easily accessible place, with no need to enter any information more than once. A quality system generates concise and comprehensive reports, documents, and labels, and is able to easily share information with other applications, a Web site, and, if desired, customers, vendors, or partners. With this kind of system, users can
quickly and automatically perform tasks that were once
complicated and time-consuming, including many that before were
not even possible.
WHY A QUALITY SYSTEM?
No matter how you look at it, art and antiques businesses run
on huge amounts of detailed and interrelated inventory, contact,
and other business information. How accurately this information
is recorded, clearly it is organized, and efficiently it works together to automate information management tasks is all critical to success. System
performance is so important to gallery operations that the system
utilized should be the best available: well proven, comprehensively
supported, and designed specifically for complete fine art or
antiques gallery management.
WHAT does A QUALITY SYSTEM DO?
A good system integrates contacts, inventory, transactions and
accounting. It automates as many information
tasks as possible: recording and tracking works, managing contacts and mailings,
generating labels, lists, and reports, creating transactions and
invoices… pretty much everything imaginable, in the most
efficient manner, and in ways particular to the industry's accepted
best practices. The 'relational' capacity of the database
means that related records (artist-artwork-invoice-buyer) are
only a click away, and any mistakes made in repeated names or
terms only need to be corrected once to update the entire system.
Often-used pre-filtered lists ('available Warhol Prints', 'New York Clients') can be saved to a drop-down selection. A quality system also ties
a business together by successfully integrating other business-critical
software packages such as QuickBooks Pro, email programs, and
a gallery's website and iPads.
Does a better system mean a better business?
What business could not be made better by better management? And as few businesses rely more heavily on related information than do art and antiques galleries, information management is a crucial activity in these and like businesses. In considering an information management system, one thing is for sure: the better designed,
more powerful, and more integrated a system, the more successful
a business can be. As such, it does not seem too much to say that establishing stability, increasing efficiency, and enhancing the power of information are critical factors in the level of success of a new or established art or antiques business. In any event, this is definitely not the place to cut
corners or try to 'do it yourself'.
So what is in a quality system?
Click on the above links to find out how Artsystems Pro
leads the way in each and every category, and why the vast majority
of galleries — large and small, new and established - who
use a gallery management software system use Artsystems GalleryPro.

He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Yakel’s research is directed toward understanding the role of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and brain function, as well as how dysfunction in this receptor leads to various neurodegenerative diseases and addiction. In particular his work is focused on how this receptor may affect cognitive processes, and how this relates to Alzheimer’s disease. He also studies the interaction between apolipoprotein E with the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and dendritic calcium signaling due to activation of α7-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat hippocampal neurons. He uses various electrophysiological and voltage-sensitive dye recording techniques to study hippocampal excitability and circuits regulated by nicotinic receptor activation to gain insights into disease mechanisms.

Over the last few years as Ashford School has expanded; the Governors have made it a priority to increase the number of excellent teaching staff to generous levels; consequently, the staff to pupil ratio is about 1:10.
We have a healthy mix of ages: we are lucky to have many teachers with years of experience, and we are equally fortunate to be able to attract young teachers who often add new ideas to the highly successful practices we have established in the classroom.
Our teachers are well qualified in their specific subjects and are also enthusiastic about it. Ashford teachers are encouraged to explore modern methodology and to adopt it when appropriate; the school considers professional development for staff to be vital and devotes considerable resources to this part of our work and takes full advantage of the resources available centrally through United Learning.
We were among the first schools to provide interactive white boards in every classroom, have been experimenting with using ActivExpression voting pads in lessons and are currently introducing personal portable devices for each pupil in the senior school. This technology allows teachers to enhance lessons by using high-quality visual material to stimulate learning and discussion: we are equally committed to our Learning Centres. | http://www.ashfordschool.co.uk/about-ashford/view/140 | 2013-05-18T10:40:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Technically my friend Shawn followed the blog twice but whatever. 105 followers is 105 followers.
(Thanks for following btw! So appreciated!!!!!!)
Here it is.
Well here is the back story:
I've had the same since I was 15.
I was wearing pucca shells and Billabong baseball t-shirt.
Please note that my hair is super frizzy due to the fact that I had no idea what a straightener was.
Or maybe I did know what it was but I was too busy trying make myself look like a dude to care.
So I had this thought.
"Since I'm turning 24 in 2 weeks I'm going to go and get a horizontal license. I will do my hair, wear a nice sweater and look presentable."
For the first time ever I had a quick and easy experience at the DMV.
The woman told me not to smile (as that is the new law in VA.)
I tried to smile with my eyes.
Like most beauty queens do. Duh.
I asked her how it turned out and she said,
"Great."
I believed her.
About 10 days later along with my pajama pants and robe my license was in the mail.
I was fortunate to have an attractive JMU ID photo so I thought perhaps it would be the same for this license!
Incorrect.
Here it comes....
1.
2.
3.
Woof:
I have pointed out the obvious flaws.
Green Arrow: Although my hair isn't nearly as gnarly as my first ID...it's still gross. My part looks like a weird comb over.
The pink arrow will now highlight the wonky-ness of my eyes.
THEY ARE NOT SMILING.
They look like they hide the secret of murder.
I look like Mad Eye Moody.
Was I tired?
Is that why they are literally two different sizes?
Did I have a slight stroke on the way to the office?
The blue arrow merely shows my neck literally trying to eat my chin.
I look like I'm forming into one big blob of face.
The red arrow just shows that I'm an organ donor. So if one of you is looking for eyes of various shapes I could potentially have two to offer you.
I look like Charlize Theron in "Monster."
Or Rosie O'Donnell after a day on a jet ski:
So there you have it.
My horrid picture.
For the world to see.
If I ever reach 150 followers I'll show the picture I vowed to never show anyone.
Me with a mullet.
A real one.
It's me in a softball jersey.
Tell your friends.
-Jonesy
Ashley, it's not that bad!!! I was expecting something the likes of my Conan picture. I need to find that one.
perhaps you need to see it up close because it is rough. i have shown it to several people and their responses have generally been gasps.
that conan picture is a winner though...we laughed so hard at that!
Haha, I should probably have just read your explanation first... I spent a good minute staring at the pink arrow like, "But her eyebrows are PERFECT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND." Also, the no smiling rule? Super dumb. And I'm a little nervous about it. I still have my vertical license too, and I'm pretty sure when I go in to get the horizontal pic taken, I will immediately get the giggles. I can see the arrest warrant now: four counts of giggling, 1 count of smiling, and a bajillion counts of allowing any happiness ever to enter the DMV.
So I'm behind on the times as per use...ual. (How do you spell the short form of usual?)
I just about died of laughter when I looked into your eyes to see them smiling back at me and found not a trace of laughter. Not a trace! Hahaha! You look so unhappy... oh it just killed me.
It looks like a mugshot. Why do we all have to spend 4 hours at the DMV just to get a mugshot now?? I never want to give up my vertical! Who on earth is going to look attractive in these pictures?? No one! I'm going to try to make my eyes extra squinty when I do mine to imitate my "smile with my eyes." haha!
I agree with Robyn that I just sat there staring at your eyebrows wondering what was wrong with them when they were well groomed and fully symmetrical. I think you should cut your hair some slack. I didn't notice anything resembling a comb-over or excessive frizziness in either picture.
And I for one would like for you to post your attractive JMU id so that we have something to compare these to. You could also include your educational arrows that point out the the good aspects of the photo.
Plus I've already seen the mullet picture so for me that's old news. JMU id! JMU id! | http://www.ashleyjonesy.com/2010/11/woof.html | 2013-05-18T10:21:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The idea of something can sometimes be bigger in our minds than it deserves to be.
Is the process always easy?
No.
But it is possible, and with a plan it is extremely manageable and easier than we think to accomplish.
Never let the process of clearing out distraction and clutter overwhelm you or stop you.
Never let the process of clearing out distraction and clutter overwhelm you or stop you.
We all have areas in our life we want to clean out. It can be the actual space around us... like finally organizing the garage, the closets or that room.
Or for some it might be the space inside us... like a situation, habit, or perspective that we have that we want to redefine or adjust.
No matter what it is, your approach will determine your outcome.
Here are a few things I’ve learned about how my mental approach that helped:
- You can literally only do one thing at a time, and that is ok.
Accept and relax in that. I love to multitask, but I’ve learned that even if I want to tackle multiple things, that my focus needs to be on the one thing I’m doing at that exact moment. When I focus in, I don’t get overwhelmed and I do what i'm doing right the first time, and usually quicker. Each task is part of a bigger pictures, and my attention needs to be on the step I’m taking when I’m taking it.
- Don’t freak out when it’s gets messy before its get beautiful.
The only way to effectively clean out a space is to take everything out of it first. When everything is out you can see the space differently, reevaluate what will go back in the space, and how it should be there. There’s always that time though where you look around and everything looks a mess. It’s okay, it’s needed and once you do it, it’s done. Cleaning out a closet or dealing with emotional situations in your past usually require a time of clearing out what’s inside and reevaluating what’s suppose to be in that space or not.
- Separate and make a list of what you need AFTER going through everything.
Once you see what you have seperated or once you set your mind to a goal, you’ll be able to shop for products or resources that are specific to what you want to organize or trying to accomplish. This ensures that you don’t waste money and that what you purchase will be used effectively.
4. Understand the process…of a process.
A lot of clearing out clutter and distractions in our life requires undoing and improving upon things that have already been done a certain way. Some things may take time or patience. Don’t get intimidated by that, it’s worth it and honestly inevitable if you want change or progression in your life.
Enjoy it as the adventurous learning process that it is. | http://www.ashleymariewilson.com/2012_07_01_archive.html | 2013-05-18T10:21:28 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
I am ashamed to admit that I have not been eating the best. I am trying, but my mind gets stuck on a food and I want it!
Fruit
I have been trying to get fruit into my diet at least once a day if not twice. I really like bananas, green apples, & strawberries so I have been trying to stock up when they are on sale. If I do not end up eating the bananas I put them in a Ziploc bag in the freezer. You can use them for bread, smoothies, or any other banana recipes you want. I actually just saw that granny smith apples are on sale next week at Price Chopper! They last a while and will be fine in the fridge for a few weeks so I can buy a dozen or so.
I need to get better at having fruit with my meals or as a snack. I am a picky eater so I do not like when fruit is mixed with things such as yogurt. I can do some smoothies because it is mixed in thoroughly, but I cannot mixed my strawberries in my yogurt.
Vegetables
I am very excited to get my veggie garden planted. Tim expanded the garden so instead of a "T" shape I now have a "H" shaped garden. I plan on planting scallions, peas, cucumbers, summer squash, carrots, pumpkins, zucchini, beans, and green peppers. The chives have already started coming up and they are probably ready to use.
I have been eating salads and such trying to make sure I get some veggies.
Calcium
Both my doctor and the reading that I have done on pregnancy both say that I need calcium and lots of it. I take a multi-vitamin now. The Prenatal vitamins are like horse pills but I take them every morning like I am supposed to. The reading says I need 1,000 mg of calcium per day whether I am pregnant or not. I am not a milk drinker so I have been trying to get my calcium in by eating yogurt. I have not been very good about this in the past few weeks. I am ashamed to admit that too. Boy this is a post full of shame. After the vitamin I need roughly 800 mg of calcium a day which is about 3 Yoplait yogurts. That is quite a bit of yogurt. I am trying to drink the milk that I have with my cereal even though I am not a fan of regular milk. I also try to eat almonds during the day which have some calcium in them.
************************
Those are some of the areas that I need to definitely work on. I plan on counting points again, I know, I know I think I have said that before. I really need to kick myself into gear. My mind has gone all wacky being pregnant. I know what I need to be doing, but I am letting myself get stupid. Does that even make sense? I have not felt the greatest in the last few months and I think it has to do with my eating habits and the fact that I have been over eating.
My plan starting Monday (Don't judge - I have always done better when I start on a Monday)
-Start counting points
-Get my food journal back out
-Put more veggies & fruit in my diet
-Get a yogurt in a day & another source of calcium
-Limit eating out to once or twice a month - make smart choices
**I will not follow the points system as closely as before I will be adding more points to my daily allowance due to being pregnant. I do not want anyone thinking I am starving the baby or myself.
Wish me luck!
Good luck Ashlee!!!
You've got this!! During pregnancy it is definitely much more challenging because your body is sending so many confusing signals. Just do the best you can each day and don't stress too much! With my last pregnancy I just focussed on adding more nutrient rich foods, and still listened and indulged when my body screamed at me. I ended up not gaining at all (I was also WAY heavier than I am right now, almost 300lbs, so not gaining was 'ok' in my case) I hope you feel better soon! | http://www.ashsrightdirection.com/2012/03/eating-update.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:10 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

A nature park in Chittagong is the only sanctuary in Bangladesh dedicated entirely to butterflies
Butterfly Park Bangladesh Ltd has set out to prove that doing business and protecting the environment can go hand in hand. It just takes creativity and love for nature.
Sprawling over six acres, the Butterfly Park is located at Patenga on the outskirts of Chittagong, in Bangladesh's south-east. Although formally inaugurated on October 12, it opened its doors to visitors two years ago.
There are only two parks owned and managed by Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) that city dwellers have free access to. In addition, the city has four privately owned parks; Butterfly Park is one that attracts visitors for its scenic beauty.
The park draws in large crowds as it is the only sanctuary for butterflies in Bangladesh, said AKM Moinuddin Sagar, project director of the park.
Butterflies play a vital role in pollination, helping trees breed, he said. The park runs a cell to carry out research on butterflies.
The number of butterflies in the country is declining because of urbanisation. The park aims to protect this important element of nature by creating awareness among people, Sagar said.
Syed Selim Ershad, general manager, said they invite schools to send their students to the park for a tour and to brief them on butterfly breeding. They explain the importance of butterflies in biodiversity and conservation, he added.
The park sees an abundance of host plants, where butterflies lay eggs. The park also comprises an open reservoir and a large pond with an abundance of fish.
The company plans to organise countrywide training programmes on breeding, nurturing and protecting butterflies from extinction.
Researcher Dr Shafiq Haider Chowdhury, an ex-professor of zoology of Chittagong University, works as a consultant for the park. Researching butterflies for 20 years now, it has been his long cherished dream to preserve a place for butterflies where different breads could roam freely.
Chowdhury said his dream came true when Intraco Group initiated this park. About 200 butterfly species have been discovered so far in Bangladesh and he is trying to collect more. “At present, about nine butterfly species are being bred in the park.”
Butterfly Park Bangladesh Ltd received the HSBC- Daily Star Climate Champion Award 2012 in green business for its effort to protect the fast-disappearing species of butterflies and attracting people towards nature. “It will inspire everyone to study nature,” he said. “It will also encourage entrepreneurs to undertake nature and environment-friendly businesses.”
The park remains open from 9 am to 11 pm every day but the best time to visit is between 9 am and 3 pm on a sunny day, as butterflies are cold-blooded insects and come out in search of food when it is warm.

CIA “Enhanced” Interrogation Techniques Amount to Torture, Cruel and Inhuman Treatment says US Rights Groups’ Report
Daya Gamage – US Bureau Asian Tribune
Washington, D.C. 12 August (Asiantribune.com): A new report issued in early August by Human Rights First and Physicians for Human Rights, two influential and prominent rights organizations in the United States, provides the first comprehensive look at the legality of 10 so-called “enhanced” interrogation techniques used by the CIA in light of the medical evidence on their mental and physical impact. Many of these techniques are widely reported to have been authorized for use by the CIA.
The report charges that “a close analysis of the War Crimes Act and other U.S. law, informed by medical and psychological expertise, reveals that these "enhanced" interrogation techniques, may constitute "torture" and/or "cruel or inhuman treatment."
On July 20, the President Bush issued an Executive Order on the CIA interrogation program that fails to prohibit these techniques, the two rights groups reveal.
Their report finds that each of these techniques, including mock-drowning, sexual humiliation, severe isolation and sensory bombardment are prohibited by U.S. law and could subject U.S. officials who authorize or use them to criminal prosecution.
The joint report, first of its kind to scientifically probe into the so called torture methods widely reported to have been authorized for use by the CIA, continues to reveal: “On July 20, 2007, President George W. Bush issued an executive order interpreting the application of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions to a program of detention and interrogation by the C.”
“While the details of the CIA's "enhanced" interrogation program remain classified,” the report however points out that “credible reports have disclosed several of the techniques that were authorized in March 2002 for use in the program, including water-boarding (mock drowning), exposure to extreme cold (including induced hypothermia), stress positions, extreme sensory deprivation and overload, shaking, striking, prolonged sleep deprivation, and isolation, among others.”
The Human Rights First and Physicians for Human Rights further state: “Without identifying specifically approved techniques, the President has, in the past, publicly endorsed "alternative interrogation methods," and declared that the MCA, which he signed into law in October 2006, allows the CIA "program" to continue.”
The report says that .”
Violations of the War Crimes Act, the Torture Act
and the Detainee Treatment Act
The report highlights the United States laws that prohibit torture, cruel and inhuman treatment of those who are under its custody:
“The recent amendments to the War Crimes Act (WCA) establish as war crimes "grave breaches" of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, including "torture" and "cruel or inhuman treatment.” "Torture" is characterized, in pertinent part, as "an act specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering” The separate war crime of "cruel or inhuman treatment," is defined as "an act intended to inflict severe or serious physical or mental pain or suffering.”
“For the crime of torture under the WCA and the Torture Act,.”
“For the WCA crime of "cruel or inhuman treatment," serious mental pain or suffering is defined as "the serious and non-transitory mental harm (which need not be prolonged) caused by or resulting from" the same specified actions.
“The Detainee Treatment Act (DTA) requires that "no person in the custody or under the physical control of the United States Government, regardless of nationality or physical location, shall be subject to torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment (CIDT)."[18] The DTA defines CIDT as conduct prohibited by the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution”.
Adverse Physical and Mental Consequences
The Human Rights First and Physicians for Human Rights joint report continues to state: or inhuman treatment" provisions of the WCA. Each of the techniques can also cause significant psychological harm. According to one recent study, in fact, the significance of the harm caused by non-physical, psychological abuse is virtually identical to the significance of the harm caused by physical abuse”.
Conclusion and Recommendations of the two Rights Groups are:
for any such techniques to be standard of humane treatment that protects the lives and health of individuals in U.S. custody”.
Their Recommendations to the Bush White House are:
1. Prohibit the "enhanced" interrogation techniques, in order to protect U.S. officials and personnel from potential criminal liability and to ensure that all U.S. personnel adhere to U.S. law.
2. Prohibit the use of any other method that, alone or in combination with other interrogation methods, presents a significant risk of causing serious or severe physical and/or mental pain or suffering.
3. Instruct all U.S. interrogators in effective, legal, non-harmful methods of interrogation.
4. Declassify and release all documents, from all relevant U.S. agencies, which contain information on U.S. interrogation policy and practice, including but not limited to the "enhanced" interrogation methods.
Their Recommendations to the U.S. Congress.

SINGAPORE - Singapore's bourse would not comment Tuesday on media reports that Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone was looking to the Asian financial hub for a potential stock listing.
"It is not our practice to publicly comment on our dealings with individual entities," a Singapore Exchange (SGX) spokeswoman told AFP in response to queries about whether F1 had made an approach.
"Singapore Exchange, the Asian Gateway, is a proven platform for local and international companies to meet their funding and business objectives," she added.
The report said the share offer will be for part of current owners CVC Capital Partners' stake in F1 and would value the motor-racing sport at more than $10 billion.
The share offer - part of a new "Concorde Agreement" that governs the distribution of F1's commercial revenues and will take effect between 2013 and 2020 - was "seen as being likely within 12 months," Sky News reported.
The report added that the Concorde Agreement - which has not been publicly issued - was "peppered" with mentions of the share flotation.
It said SGX was seen as a destination which "makes sense" due to the sport's growing appeal in Asia.
However, teams were up in arms over a stipulation in the agreement that will give Ferrari - the team that has competed in the most number of seasons since 1950 - as well as world champions Red Bull a seat apiece on the board of the sport, the Times of London reported.
Other teams including one of F1's biggest investors Mercedes as well as McLaren - the second most senior team in F1 - will not have board seats. The British newspaper quoted a senior executive from an unnamed team as saying that the agreement was "outrageous" and "against every facet of European competition law".
With Europe facing a debt crisis and the US economic rebound still gaining traction, companies are looking at Asia's cash-rich capital markets to raise funds.
English football giants Manchester United have also looked to Singapore to launch an IPO, and Singapore authorities have approved the club's application to list in the city-state.
But no date has been given for the IPO as the Red Devils - who are currently top of the English Premiership - are understood to be waiting for the ideal market conditions. | http://www.asiaone.com/Business/News/Story/A1Story20120320-334555.html | 2013-05-18T10:20:55 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Gas Leaks After an Accident Make an Already Dangerous Situation Worse | Colorado Springs Car Accident Lawyers
Back in November we discussed a frightening situation that occurred when an out-of-control car careened into the parking lot of several Springs’ townhomes. An uncontrolled car is dangerous enough, but the true hazard came when the car crashed into a gas meter. Ultimately the townhomes all had to be evacuated as highly flammable fumes filled the area.
Similar accidents may seem to be just freak occurrences, but as we noted previously, it’s a bit more common than you might think. Residents at a Colorado Springs’ fourplex found this out over the weekend when they had to rush from their homes in the middle of the night after an SUV slammed into their building and severed a gas line.
Apparently a young man was nearby, attempting to jump his SUV when his emergency brake failed. To his horror, the SUV rolled down a small hill and made a beeline for the fourplex on Stonedike Drive. The SUV soon crashed through a wall where it ruptured a gas line. Fumes quickly began to fill the building and the fast-thinking residents quickly left their homes for fear of an explosion.
Colorado Springs Utilities soon arrived on the scene and shut off the gas as well as power to the building. A HAZMAT crew and local firefighters worked quickly to clear the gas and monitor the levels. Fortunately no one was injured and what could have been an explosive situation was resolved by cool heads and swift action.

I believe you cinnotue to lose weight for as long as you're breastfeeding. Think about it if you're eating as you usually would, your body is using some of those calories to PRODUCE the milk, and the milk is passing even MORE of the calories on to your baby. So as long as you're still making milk, you're burning the calories. That'll leave you with fewer calories to burn before your body needs to dip into your fat stores for energy.They say that losing a pound a week is the healthiest way to achieve LASTING weight loss. So it sounds like you're doing just fine. But your doctor is right, and breastfeeding DOES help you to burn a considerable amount of calories, but if you're not being careful about what you're eating, that could be slowing you down.My sister has 4 kids, and each time she was pregnant she put on a LOT of weight. But she breastfed with 3 of them, and it helped her to get down to pre-pregnancy weight faster, along with eating sensibly and working out. With the other child, he bit. And even without teeth, it hurt too much to cinnotue to breastfeed. It took her nearly twice as long to lose the weight from that pregnancy.Of course, if you're eating well and exercising it'll help speed things up.And it IS okay to exercise while breastfeeding! It's a total myth that you'll produce poorer quality milk or have any negative effect on the baby. Your body is built to reproduce, and once you've had the baby, it cinnotues come first biologically. The baby will get what it needs before you will, so if anyone is going to be malnourished while breastfeeding it'll be you so make sure you cinnotue to take prenatal vitamins, and eat well.But it sounds like you're doing okay as it is just keep at it.

Six ways to style them, from weddings to work and weekends
VIEW ALL SHORTS
Whomp! Whomp! Double up on metallics to tap into this season's metallics and sequins trend. Then add this season's coolest shoe – dance-all-night hi-tops.
Go for big wins in tailored shorts with a buttoned-to-the-neck sharp shirt and embellished blazer (long sleeves balance bare legs). Flat shoes make shorts office-appropriate.
Pastels are big news this season. Dial up a traditional wedding guest palette with fluoro heels and a conversation-starting headpiece.
Leather shorts? Creepers? Yes please. Throw a printed T-shirt and lumberjack shirt into the mix, shake, and serve for a look that's fresher than a glass of Pimm's.
Global prints, fluoro accessories and mirrored shades add up to a hot 2012 festival update that’s half Lisa Bonet, half Rihanna.
A printed playsuit is sun-and-sea perfection. Top it off with this season's hit snap-back cap and slip into a sand-friendly plimsoll (mix 'n' match your laces for extra style kudos).

Learning how to access, analyze, and create digital and media content with thoughtfulness and social responsibility is one of the key recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy, whose landmark report, Informing Communities, was issued last year.
To address this need, Professor Renee Hobbs (founder of the Media Education Lab, Temple University) has outlined a plan with specific steps that policymakers, educators, and community advocates can take to help Americans thrive in the digital age. Read Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action
To mark the release of her white paper and discuss its implications, the Aspen Institute Communications and Society Program and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation hosted a high-level roundtable discussion featuring representatives from government, education, and other areas November 10, from 11:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Aspen Institute's Washington office. This discussion took place immediately following the paper's release at the Family Online Safety Institute’s annual conference on Internet Freedom, Safety & Citizenship. This is the second in a series of White Papers focused on the Knight Commission’s 15 recommendations for creating healthy informed communities. | http://www.aspeninstitute.org/video/digital-media-literacy-plan-action | 2013-05-18T10:13:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Olympic 2012 ticket sales enter third round | Tickets of Olympic 2012 sales
Olympic 2012 ticket sales enter third round: One and a half million unsold Olympic tickets will go back on sale in the UK on Friday at 6am. There are 1.5m football tickets as well as around 40,000 volleyball and 8,000 freestyle wrestling tickets available on a first-come first-served basis.
They are being offered to the 700,000 applicants who had all or part of their ticket requests met in the first-round sale which closed in April. This sale runs from 8 July at 6am to 17 July at 6pm. The tickets cover 58 sessions and 130 price categories.
London 2012, who have sold over 3.5m tickets so far from around 850,000 applications, said all other sports have no availability. The chairman Lord Coe told the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday there had been inevitable disappointment from the “phenomenal and unprecedented” demand for Olympic seats. Reporting on the progress of next year’s Games to the IOC session in Durban, South Africa, he said: “Both domestically and internationally the demand for tickets has been phenomenal.
“I would actually say it has been unprecedented – 1.9m people applied for 22m tickets. We have 6.6m.”
The 1.5m football tickets include men’s and women’s matches at Wembley, the City of Coventry Stadium, the Millennium Stadium, Hampden Park, St James’ Park and Old Trafford. Volleyball sessions are based at Earls Court, while the freestyle wrestling will be staged at Excel. Another major round of ticket sales will take place in early 2012. | http://www.asportsnews.com/more-sports/olympics/olympics-news/olympic-2012-ticket-sales-enter-third-round/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

From the right job to
your true vocation
How can we find a profession that really fits our
needs? How can we recognise our true vocation? It is not always easy
to find the right job because in many cases circumstances confront
us with difficulties that influence our choice. These may be due
to the economic situation but also to our own insecurity as far as
our aspirations and our true abilities and potential are concerned.
People tend to consider their job as a means to earn a living. They
may choose a "career with potential" for purely materialistic
reasons.
How can we distinguish job and vocation when looking at the natal
chart?
A horoscope usually points to different aptitudes and abilities
which predispose a person for more than one particular profession.
Seven steps to finding your vocation
in the horoscope
It is necessary to consider all chart factors when looking for
vocation in the horoscope.
Step 7: The Nodal Axis / Moon's Nodes
The Moon's Nodes can add to the knowledge about a person's
development. This axis is related to the relationship between
personal social developments. Therefore, aspects to the nodal
axis can give interesting insights on this issue. Especially
important are planets conjuncting the North or South Node.
Example:
Andrea
- A clerk
Andrea has been working as a clerk in the legal department of a
large travel enterprise for more than 10 years. But now she feels
the need for a change, or even for a completely different kind of
work. But now she finds her present job too "sober" and
it starts to bore her. Her main occupation is paper work and writing
letters.
Steps 1-3:
Most of the planets in this chart are above the horizon (top
half) and on the right side. Many planets are in Aquarius
- a fixed air sign. This is a person who appears to be outgoing
and sociable, who wants to work independently and realises
her (idealistic) goals with great perseverance.
Step 4:
Of the "professional" houses 2, 6, and 10, only the
10th house contains any planets; Sun, Jupiter and Mercury are
conjunct the midheaven in Aquarius, Mercury conjuncting from
the 9th house. This constellation indicates that Andrea is strongly
drawn to the public. She is ambitious and needs to know that
people respond to her. Independence, a great need for freedom
and variety (Aquarius) as well as a desire for recognition and
a reputable, influential position (Sun conjunct MC) become obvious.
She likes to "set the tone".
Andrea is sociable and has a zest for life (Sun-Venus). Besides,
she has a humanistic attitude which is indicated by her Pisces
Moon. She can be friendly, cheerful and affable with a capacity
for adroit articulation (Mercury-Venus). She is also likely
to have a pleasant voice as well as being artistic and diplomatic,
which could point to a profession in the arts.
Her optimism and enthusiasm make it easy for Andrea to get
support from influential people (Sun-Jupiter) and to reach her
goals without difficulty. There might be a leaning towards indolence
and evasiveness (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter square Neptune).
With Mercury in the 9th house conjunct Jupiter and MC, Andrea
is likely to have a quick grasp of things as well as being interested
in further education and humanitarian goals, but she could also
be tempted to "think too big" and to foster exaggerated
expectations.
It should also be noted that the constellation in Aquarius
is conjunct the South Node, squaring Neptune in the 5th house
- the house of creativity. Sun square Neptune may provide her
with an idealistic attitude, but also with a tendency toward
self-delusion. Andrea might find it difficult to assess herself
realistically - which is also indicated by the conjunction of
Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. With Sun, Mercury and Jupiter
square Neptune, Andrea is very imaginative. She could yearn
to free herself from her everyday duties. This tendency towards
evasiveness is amplified by the square to Neptune: wishful thinking
and a lack of objectivity may come forth. Andrea could become
unintentionally unreliable or make mistakes due to forgetfulness,
day-dreaming or lack of concentration.
Neptune square MC/IC indicates that Andrea lacks clear aims
in life, and tends to be dissatisfied with her working conditions,
always hoping for something better which may never actually
happen. Andrea should actively engage in further education and
improve her professional and social position. Neptune is sextile
Pluto in Virgo in the 4th house which - despite being a generational
aspect - should be noted, because Pluto rules the 6th house
cusp in Scorpio. The need for self-assertion and power as well
as strong unconscious emotions are likely to play a role at
work. On the other hand, there is a possibility that Andrea
tries to escape professional life by having children, a partner
or an illness (Neptune in the 5th house; if Placidus houses
are used, in the 6th). This would amount to fleeing from her
own task, as she has certain idealistic wishes concerning the
type of work she prefers to do.
Her Mars-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius and the 9th house provides
Andrea with the capacity to work hard and accomplish a lot.
Since the conjunction is otherwise unaspected, however, there
is a danger that activities in the areas of education, law and
travel are strongly constrained (Mars=activity; Saturn=constraint),
so that Andrea remains passive in these fields. Mars-Saturn
in the 9th house provide her with a strong sense of justice.
Therefore, it is important for her to develop realistic ideas
concerning her profession without falling pray to exaggerated
expectations (Sun, Mercury, MC, Jupiter, Venus and the South
Node square Neptune).
Step 5:
The Gemini Ascendant adds to the emphasis on the air element.
It shows an open-minded, inquisitive personality who is interested
in everything new, but also one who may lack the stamina and
perseverance to realise her goals.
Her 10th house Moon in
Pisces squares the AC/DC axis but is otherwise unaspected.
Andrea may often find herself in a conflict, because
her Pisces Moon makes her very sensitive, compassionate and
eager to
help other people, but the Gemini Ascendant tends to
take things easier and more superficial so that her humanitarian
streak "vanishes into thin air".
Step 6:
Can be left out, since the planetary constellations were
analysed in step 4, and the horoscope does not contain many
aspects.
Step 7:
The Moon's Nodes are especially important in this chart because
the North Node is in Leo in the 4th house. Andrea is required
to develop into a competent and confident personality that
concerns herself with her soul as well as her family. To be
able to do this, she would have to free herself from the South
Node in the 10th house in Aquarius conjuncting Sun, Venus
and Jupiter. The nodal axis is exactly conjunct MC/IC. This
makes it very hard for Andrea to disengage herself from the
past and the familiar.
What is Andrea's vocation, and how
can she come closer to fulfilling it?
Andrea's vocation is indeed in the area of the 10th house.
She should find a profession that allows her to advocate humanitarian
goals, support other people and be of benefit to the public.
This profession should also involve the compassion and helpfulness
of her Pisces Moon. With an Aquarian MC and many planets in
this sign, Andrea needs a profession in which she can express
her inventive and idealistic side. She should develop her identity
within a larger frame than just in family and home life. Uranus,
the ruler of her midheaven, is in Leo in the forth house and
has no planetary aspects. This means she should not try to replace
her profession with a family, because she would keep breaking
out of it. It is Andrea's task to develop into a self-confident
personality, to become psychologically independent, and to be
able to play her public role competently. She could actually
find astrology quite helpful.
Andrea must learn to overcome the restrictions she has to meet
on her path to self-realisation by using reason and understanding
(Sun, Moon's Node). She should also find out in how far problems
concerning development and her search for meaning may be due
to inadequate time management or exaggerated expectations. Professional
goals may conflict with ethical goals (Jupiter, Moon's Node).
Andrea could choose a foyer of an enterprise or practice as
a work place where she is in close contact with the public.
Besides, she could work at a helpdesk or information centre,
or any other public office that allows her to make use of her
organising skills, work with a computer and meet people.
Her work in the legal department of a travel enterprise does
not meet Andrea's potential because she absolutely needs to
be in contact with other people. A job in the background is
out of the question for her. Since Andrea has no possibility
to take over a more prominent position in this company, it makes
sense for her to look for alternatives.
Transiting Uranus was in Aquarius and triggered the Mars-Saturn
conjunction in 1997. 1998 to 2000, Uranus was transiting Mercury,
the MC and the planets in the 10th house. Everything pointed
to a sudden change which would require flexibility and quick
responses. It is likely that she was massively confronted with
this topic when Uranus reached the opposition to natal Uranus
- at the latest.
Uranus transits bear the danger of rash actions or unreflective
decisions. Nevertheless, apart from the professional re-orientation
the transits also mark the need for a psychological re-orientation.
Under these circumstances, the best bet for Andrea is to avoid
getting stuck in Neptunian wishful thinking, and instead become
active as soon as possible.

Aries and Scorpio relationship will prove to be beneficial if they tend to work together rather than working against each other. Nevertheless, both of them love to have the batons of power in their hands. However, Aries will keep aside their normal nature of setting full speed ahead when they are working with Scorpions. They will have a try but will never push that they will find a best way to deal with the Scorpions.
Do not have a well in the middle of a house or plot. It is a bad omen and a bad sign and tends to attract evil forces.

Here's your daily update on the Crane ownership situation, which apparently is being held up by the American League move.
There are clearly two camps: those who think the hold-up is about realignment, and those who think it's about character. Let's see who falls where:
Realignment:
Jayson Stark
Yahoo's Jeff Passan
FSH's David Dalati
Jon Paul Morosi
Fox Sports Arizona's Jack Magruder
Ken Rosenthal
Character
Richard Justice
Maury Brown
Almost every national writer has placed the hold-up on the Astros moving to the American League. The two holdouts are Richard Justice and Maury Brown. Both have been doing their thing for a long time, and their sources shouldn't be discounted, especially given Justice's prominence in the Houston media. Media agreeing on something doesn't mean it's true, but there's clearly a dominance of opinion in this one.
17 comments:
Justice isn't even elevated enough to be discounted. It is clear from his tone, and his continuous regurgitation of virtually identical columns and blogs that he has issues with Crane. Way beyond what an objective "reporter" should.
Crane probably doesn't give Richard the time of day and with Richard, that is ample reason to take a negative stand towards Crane. Consider the probability that Ryan is most likely in the camp feeding Richard, and sucking up to anyone of Ryan's stature is what Richard craves. Also, add into the fact that Richard has already told his readers how he favors the move to the AL and it is easy to see why Richard is where he is on this issue.
So, overall, it is real balanced: a bunch of national reporters versus Richard Justice, and this Brown cat and his blog. I wonder where the truth lies?
Crane is not going to miss out on a chance to own Astros because he is against realignment. He has probably already told the owners he would move the team if approved. So I do not believe that is the hold up. Crane is not so honorable that he would hold his ground and back off the deal because of that. I also do not believe the charcter issue is the problem. The owners can make Crane dance like a puppet on a string when the time comes to keep him in line. The owners are not so honorable either. I believe they are in no hurry to approve and are going to deal with problems with Mets and Dodgers first and then come back to Crane. It would seem that 1 owner would leak to some reporter what the holdup is. Pretty poor investigative reporting here. Justice is an amateur and i can not see him being right on this. The owners already knew Cranes character issues some time ago. I believe he will be approved and the Astros will move to American league.
The list is actually a little more balanced. Ken Rosenthal, in his most recent notes on Saturday, mentioned the AL West move but said the real hold-up is about MLB owners having questions about Crane's character.
This site seems to have attracted a Crane apologist (see 12:43 PM comment and a lot of others), but if anything, Richard Justice and the Chronicle have been VERY fair to Crane. Most other media outlets would have been trumpeting their prior news coverage of Crane's problems, but the Chronicle essentially buried all of the bad news until three months after the Crane deal was announced.
Hell, for months Richard Justice was predicting a "29-0" approval of Crane, so the idea that Justice has a vendetta against Crane is just stupid. I tend to think the delay is about realignment, but no one is closer to the situation than Justice, and Maury Brown actually covers this stuff on a day to day basis.
I'm no Crane apologist, but to state Justice has been very fair is laughable. A balanced approach would have certainly emphasized, or at least pointed out that these things were known about Crane for a long time, way before MLB allowed Drayton to negotiate with him. A balanced approach would have put his "misdeeds" into context, both in relation to other MLB owners, and within the context of large corporations. A balanced approach would have never brought up the BS about his kids. A balanced approach wouldn't have let the task on setting the record straight on that account to another reporter. A balanced approach wouldn't portray Crane defending himself aginst child abuse charges as an act that will "just make Bud mad defending himself." Sheesh. A balanced approach would ask why the move to the AL is a condition at all, and questioning why the fan base is asked to remedy MLB's problems. Sure, Justice has been real fair. Wake up.
Btw, Justice reporting about a 29-0 vote isnt a sign that there is no vendetta, it's a sign tht he is a lazy reporter who is often wrong, but will soon say the opposite.
Justice is a "columnist," not a reporter, and his columns/blogs on this subject have reflected that: they are largely, if not entirely, speculation and opinion, with very little actual reporting or sourcing done.
I've not read much other stuff by Maury Brown but he really seems to dislike Crane...
Personally, if Crane is planning to cave, and allow MLB to move the Astros to the AL, I will despise him for that. I would rather Drayton keep the Astros until he can sell them to someone with the balls to stand up to Selig and his cohorts.
Justice did point out that Crane's skeletons were known to MLB, which is why, for THREE MONTHS, he predicted a "29-0 approval."
Justice never got into Crane's personal life or divorce at all; that was the Houston Press and then Maury Brown/Forbes.
I don't know how Justice was supposed to put Crane's misdeeds or alleged misdeeds "into context" in relation to other owners or businesses. Obviously, MLB owners aren't a bunch of Eagle Scouts, but I'm not aware of anyone in MLB ownership who has as long of a list of skeletons as Crane seems to have. If you have examples, I'd like to see them.
Also, as both Justice and Brown have reported, MLB didn't want McLane to announce the deal with Crane, but McLane did so anyway. It's not like MLB pulled the rug out from under them. McLane tried to jam the deal down MLB's throat, and MLB said "not so fast."
So, once Crane agrees, or McLane beats him to the punch, will those with Justice blinders still feel he was being fair the whole time?
It will conclusively prove that Crane's personal indiscretions were never important, just something lazy reporters, doing the bidding of MLB, could use to fill their space. Meanwhile, the franchise got extorted, with nary a whimper from the Houston press.
Finding out if other owners have similar skeletons is what reporters do, in an effort to determine if they are being led by their sources.
At the end of this tale, the Astros will move, Crane will be approved and his issues will be proved meaningless, Justice won't write an article how the franchise was extorted, some people will find no fault in the press at all in this matter, and we the fans will get to watch the Astros play the freakin mariners at midnight.
Maybe years later, a reporter will get off their butt, and write a story how a city, both the fans and the media, let their franchise be reamed over without any fight at all. Of course, that reporter will probably be from another city.
Again, you sound a little delusional here. The A.L. move has been discussed multiple times in the Chronicle. As for the other owners' skeletons, first you claimed Crane is no different than a lot of other owners, but now you have no examples and want the media to go digging. It takes 5 seconds on Google to find Crane's skeletons, which date back to the '90s. If you feel other owners are the same, go spend 10 minutes with Google and bring us some examples.
Personally, I don't even care about Crane's past. The issue people should be SCREAMING about is the debt. Crane's deal for the Astros apparently includes almost $300 million in loans. Good luck building a winner with bad attendance, bad TV ratings, and $300 million in debt service.
A.L., N.L. -- it won't matter. The debt in this deal is a killer. THAT's the real ignored story here.
I have never said Crane is like other owners, just seems like if that is the definitive reason, a rational person and a professional reporter would want to know if he is indeed unique. Saying that I should do the research is hardly a counter to my claim that it should be part of the basic reporting.
The AL move is always portrayed in the chron as near the bottom of the list. If he agrees, and is subsequently approved, a non-delusional mind can easily conclude that the move was the ONLY determinative reason, with the rest being crap thrown out for divert people's attention. People probably like yourself who will accept anything, regardless of how much sense it makes, and then likely claim it was reported correctly all along.
Debt being a bigger issue than a franchise being extorted and basically crippled to fulfill an agenda of MLB, or most likely a subset of MLB? Sure thing. That should be the lead story. I can only assume you aren't an Astros fan or enjoy sterile concepts over matters of deceit and power.
"Saying that I should do the research is hardly a counter to my claim that it should be part of the basic reporting."
-- How do you know it HASN'T been part of the reporting? "Plane lands safely" is rarely a headline. When reporters find dirt, they report it. When they don't, it's not a headline.
"Debt being a bigger issue than a franchise being extorted and basically crippled to fulfill an agenda of MLB, or most likely a subset of MLB?"
-- If you think moving to the A.L. will "cripple" the Astros more than the $300 million in debt, you're nuts.
Sure, if you say so. The creditors must be morons to knowingly lend to an entity that obviously will have difficulty servicing it. I think I'll take their judgement over yours.
If your average person is wondering if the plane landed safely, then a reporter should convey that fact. I seriously doubt any Justice or Brown realize there was ever a plane in the air.
Finally, you seem to continuously ignore my core complaint: why is the move a condition at all? It's akin to a boss making up dozens of reasons to deny a lady a promotion, but if she sleeps with him, those reasons are quickly forgotten. You sound like someone who can ignore the core misdeed, and focus on some irrelevant factor like her 401K portfolio.
Are you Maury Brown? Your sensibilities, and inability to recognize the forrest for the trees is eerily similar.
Richard Justice is a columnist. It's his job to provide an opinion based on the facts. And the facts, which appear to be undisputed, is that Crane is a prick.
And the reasons that Crane's skeletons are important is because of all of the skeletons of other owners. The Rangers ended up in bankruptcy because Tom Hicks leveraged the team to the hilt. The Dodgers are in bankruptcy partly for that same reason, partly because Frank McCourt never had the money, and partly because he's going through a nasty, nasty, nasty divorce that has left the team rudderless, and which is essentially being run by MLB.
The Padres are still trying to recover from John Moores going through a nasty, nasty divorce which forced the team to be sold to a group that it is having trouble with financing. And speaking of trouble with financing, there's the Mets which are caught up in the Bernie Madoff dealings.
In short, this could all be a major issue to the other owners/MLB/Bud Selig because they've been bitten too many times in recent years and don't want a franchise sold to a guy who has a history of nasty, contentious divorces and who is having to enter into a heavily debt-ridden deal in order to buy this team.
Now I don't know what Anonymous's real problem with Richard Justice is, but Anon is related to/really Drayton McLane or Jim Crane, he's got no real clue as to what's actually going on with this deal. But I'm pretty sure that Justice's contacts with MLB/Astros are better and more informed than Anon's. And unlike the rest of the national guys who cover the game of baseball, Maury Brown covers the business of baseball, so I'm more willing to listen to him on this deal than some of the national guys, whereas if it dealt with managers, or trades, or free agent signings, I'd be more willing to listen to the other guys than I would Brown.
And here's another thing, Anon. If Justice is getting info from Nolan Ryan, then good for him. Because here's the deal. Ryan is an owner. Ryan is one of the guys who has a vote. And since Ryan dealt with Crane last year during the Rangers thing, I'm sure Ryan has a bit of sway with the other owners. So maybe that's a good thing.
By the way, have you ever considered that the owners just don't trust Crane. After all, Drayton sold him the team three years ago, and he backed out of the deal after the press conference was called to announce the deal. So maybe they just don't want to deal with a guy who's known as a bit of a lying scumbag.
And skeletons, or no skeletons, good financing or no good financing, MLB doesn't have to approve him. It's like buying into a co-op, if they don't want to sell to you, they don't have to approve you if they don't want to approve you.
Wow, another one who ignores the core issue.
Sure, if he never gets approved, I will admit that skeletons may have been the issue as we will never know. We will probably be left with the same data we have now, with reports it was character and reports it was the move. However, if he agrees to move, and magically gets approved, with all his supposed baggage, I assume you would admit that most of what you just wrote is complete BS. If you are honest.
Whether you believe Justice is a low life tool like me, or you respect him like a few around here, it is irrelevant to the fact that he has never tackled the core issue, and if you believe he is getting his info from Ryan, and there is nothing wrong with that, then you are a fool. Like an incompetent cop solely pursuing a lead given to him by someone with an obvious stake in misleading him.
Why on earth would I be associated with McClane? That makes zero sense. Use your head. Think, who has what incentive to put forth what argument?
I know little about Crane, as opposed to you that knows conclusively I guess, that he is a lying scumbag. You know him personally, or just an avid reader?
I am simply an Astros fan who is quite pissed that the franchise is getting screwed with the complicity of a lazy local press, and most likely one of two possible individuals who would have to agree to the move. Under the effects of extortion, of course.
I have no problem if the owners hate him, and don't want to approve him. I have big problems if his approval is conditioned on a move to the AL.
"The creditors must be morons to knowingly lend to an entity that obviously will have difficulty servicing it. I think I'll take their judgement over yours."
-- The bankers don't care if the Astros win 100 games or lose 100 games; they just want to get paid. I never said an MLB team couldn't be profitable while losing; everyone knows the opposite is true. My point is that it's hard to be profitable *and* rebuild at the same time, and with 40-plus partners, I'm sure Crane's partners are expecting to get paid. This isn't Mark Cuban using 20% of his net worth to buy a team; this is 40 people leveraged to the hilt.
But anyway, according to your logic, I guess these brilliant bankers are morons if they allow Crane to borrow $300 million while switching to the A.L., since you claim the switch would "cripple" the team more than the debt.
"Finally, you seem to continuously ignore my core complaint: why is the move a condition at all?"
-- It's not clear that it's a condition. Some say it is, and others say it's simply a request. Both sides of this have been covered in the media, both in Houston and nationally. You talk like this is some big secret that only gets discussed on dark corners of the internet. I've read dozens of stories on this. Maybe not as many as there'd be if a N.Y. or L.A. team was involved, but that's what happens in a one-paper (sorry, John R.) town like Houston.
"However, if he agrees to move, and magically gets approved, with all his supposed baggage, I assume you would admit that most of what you just wrote is complete BS. If you are honest."
-- Here's a news flash: Two things can be true at once. It's possible Crane will agree to move and it's possible he'll be approved as Astros owner, but the two aren't necessarily codependent. Obviously, MLB wants the Astros in the A.L., but why would they drag Crane through the mud just for the hell of it? It's one thing for MLB to pressure Crane behind the scenes, or to pressure Crane publicly about other aspects of the deal (too much debt, too many partners, etc.). But what purpose does it serve MLB to drag Jim Crane through the mud if MLB ultimately plans to approve him? It makes no sense whatsoever.
The bankers may well be reducing the amount they will loan. That was reported recently. No doubt that a move to the AL would reduce the value of the franchise, and Crane's ability to service the debt. So, I don't think the bankers are stupid, they are acutely aware of the effect the move would have on the franchise value.
Condition. Request. Are you Bill Clinton? "Jim, this is just a request, but should you refuse to grant our request, we will withhold approval."
I don't know why it it is so hard to understand. If he agrees to move, and is subsequently approved, one can easily conclude that the character stuff was not determinitive, and that the move was the sole condition all along. Maybe you can understand if it presented this way: "I thought Crane was a prick, and that was preventing his approval. Has anything changed? Why doesn't him being a prick matter any more?"
Why would MLB drag Crane through the mud if they eventually intend to approve him? First, I maintain they don't either intend, or not intend to approve him. It depends on his agreeing to move. Second, if they were waiting out Crane for four months over approval, without having given a public justification no matter how flimsy, then even a lazy reporter (Oh, sorry. columnist) such as Justice might wonder what is taking so long. They had to provide something for public consumption.
I also don't view MLB as some monolithic entity. I suspect there are many owners who have no issue approving Crane right now, warts and all. AL or no AL. However, there are others who see this as a golden opportunity to achieve realignment or weaken a regional competitor. They are using the leverage while they have it. Doesn't take many to thwart it. Doesn't it take 80% approval?
@ Anonymous (9:26 a.m.) -- You seem to be confusing both speculation and fact, and cause and effect.
As I tried to explain in my last comment (#14), two things can be true at once. Even if Crane gets approved, that doesn't mean the character issues were never important. As I said, MLB could pressure Crane behind the scenes if it wants realignment or pressure him publicly because of other issues (the high debt, the huge amount of partners/investors, etc.). But why would MLB intentionally wound/weaken an incoming owner? It doesn't make any sense.
Also, where did you see reports that the loans to Crane might be reduced? I haven't seen that anywhere.

“Among her suggestions for preparing for Christmas, for example, she included doing a duck waddle round the sitting room, sucking your tea mug to your face, thereby becoming what she describes as “a mug monster” (a species which, to my certain knowledge, proved even beyond Darwin’s powers of detection), or going to the supermarket with a wig made from tinsel, and a sprig of mistletoe dangling down in front of your face.”

The greatest Scientist in the World, Einstein and also many others used “Thought Experiments” for many of their findings.
With Quantum Mechanics as well as with simple logics it is easy to prove that there can not be a Almighty GOD. Only thing you need is to read and think with the open mind.
You created everything in this world in your mind. Do you believe it. There is volumes of scientific evidence on that.
In other words, what you see is what you want to see or, everything is your perception. Simply speaking all the basic components of everything you see on this universe is made of what is found in the Periodic table or in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Almighty GOD is for Weak people.

“We live in a beautiful, fascinating and complex world and we’re all trying to make sense of it as best we can. There are 6.7 billion of us living on this planet, belonging to hundreds of different belief systems. Most of us want to live peacefully, yet we also want to think that our own personal beliefs are the right ones. And if we are right, whatever we believe, that means millions or possibly billions of other people must be wrong.
“As a world full of individuals, we are never all our children to be happy, healthy and safe, and for them to receive a good education. We all want to live long enjoyable lives free from fear and pain and we’re all muddling through life the best way we know how.
“What’s important are not the beliefs we hold, but that we are free to hold them and that we always express them peacefully. That we see all other people as individual human beings just like ourselves, who love and hurt and laugh and feel pain and hope. That we share our lives with people of different backgrounds, that we talk about all kinds of ideas, calmly and openly and that instead of letting our differences divide us we let our similarities bring us together.
“Britain is a wonderful country where people are free to believe in whatever they like and that includes nonbelief. Many people think Humanists and Atheists don’t believe in anything. This isn’t true. We may not believe in a god, but like most believers we think we only have one life on this planet. Nobody knows for certain what happens after this but we know that we only have a very short time in which to experience all the excitement, adventure, love, fun, humanity and kindness available to us.
“We’re lucky to be alive and to live life to the full we need to share it with others and learn from them, whatever you or I believe.”

Finally got around to watching these videos. This whole thing is just making my year. I love it. So positive and life-affirming. That Douglas Adams quote is now officially my favourite quote ever! Although maybe because it’s the only quote I can remember.
Ariane, this is brilliant. Thanks again.

Michael: Very many thanks for going to the trouble of the transcription.
Ariane: Reading these five paragraphs for the first time really brings out the utter simplicity, truth & beauty of your Thought4TPM. This should be read by every one of the 6.7 billion. Is there some way this might appear elsewhere, on billboards, tube/bus interiors, CIF etc.?
It’s truly awesome.
January 14th, 2009 at 23:11
Hello guys,
I have just one question to ask: do you have scientific evidence of everything you believe in…?
January 14th, 2009 at 23:16
I was originally going to say something about the text when I posted it but looking at it all set out… what’s to say?
I think the great thing about Ariane is that she’s all about acceptance. Other high-profile atheists try to tell people that they’re wrong. The message comes across so much more potently without that.
January 14th, 2009 at 23:17
Congratulations on the first ‘thought for the afternoon’, and on giving such a well written and eloquent one at that! Given the expressed skepticism by the hosts and the ‘trial’ nature of the whole thing, I can’t think of a better standard-bearer.

congratulations on becoming the exact thing you are “fighting”……..
January 16th, 2009 at 9:51
Why “probably” instead of “there is not”? You do believe but want to advertise yourself and open the door to islam world in Europe by undermining catholic religion. You’re not that smart! God will ask you to account for all the damage you are causing to youngsters!! That’s for sure.
January 16th, 2009 at 14:47
I am with you all the way on spreading religious scepticism, but this “probably” is a huge mistake, whatever Dawkins and Toynbee say. I cannot prove, in strict logic, that God does not exist, but why should I? Cart before the horse. It is for the religious to make the case for God, not for the irreligious to disprove it. By saying “probably” you admit they might possibly be right, and that is an own goal of immense proportions — not worthy of rationalists and sceptics.
Nobody would seriously ask you to prove that crop circles aren’t made by aliens. And if you did take the bait, you wouldn’t say “probably not”.
January 16th, 2009 at 15:10
Michael: (#20) “Probably” complies with the ASA rules, and no-one can be absolutely certain something doesn’t exist, like fairies and the Easter Bunny.
And it’s ironic that you use the phrases “Catholic religion” and “damage you are causing to youngsters” in the same paragraph. Most Catholics are ashamed of the systematic abuses carried out by their church. “That’s for sure“!!
Benjamin: We’re not fighting. Where just daring to put forward a different belief. Try it sometime.
Aaron: It’s very kind of you to think of us, but I won’t hold my breath! If it’s okay with you, I’ll put my own “talent and cognitive skills” to something of some importance.
January 16th, 2009 at 15:31
Other Michael, can you please explain how you think that Catholicism is weakening Islam?
January 16th, 2009 at 16:02
Wrong on ASA standards. This is an assumption. The code states you can given an opinion so long as it is clear it is one. Any claim made must be proved if it is “capable of objective substantiation”, which any claim for or against God clearly cannot be.
It might not have been done because it might have been deemed capable of causing offence, but that is a different story and quite permissible. However, having made the change the campaign should have been called the Agnostic Bus. (“Like some of the Bendy buses, I’m not quite sure where I am going.”)
January 16th, 2009 at 16:28
@24: Not an assumption. As far as I’m aware, Ariane was explicitly told by the ASA that they wouldn’t run it without the ‘probably’ in there.
January 16th, 2009 at 17:29
January 16th, 2009 at 19:06
If that’s what they told her, I’ll take your word for it (tho’ you haven’t resolved whether it was because of the liability to cause offence or not). I just went by looking up the ASA code.
Even so, should still have been an Agnostic Bus as a result of the insertion of “probably”. On philosophical issues like this, there is no such thing as pedantry! Putting the “probably” in puts you perilously close to Pascal’s position on the issue: “I can’t prove God exists, but I had better praise him anyway, just in case he does exist.”
January 16th, 2009 at 22:11
Just heard about your campaign. Good luck with it. I don’t believe in any gods, but I’m not going to join the atheists until you can at least match the holidays of the theists. The Christians, for example, give you every Sunday off, as well as Easter & Xmas. If the atheists promised, say, every Saturday & Sunday off, plus a long weekend every month, I think your campaign would do much better. Just a thought. Best wishes. K.S.

I pray to my Heavenly Father above that He allows into your life whatever it takes to bring to your knees in repentence and total dependence on Him.

God Bless you Aaron, when two or more are gathered…, i have been praying the same prayer. Join the Jesus bus campaign and show your support,

Hello Christian,
I’ve just had a look at the Jesus Bus Campaign and would be interested to know how you were doing financially?
Nothing succeeds like success and you might like to bear in mind that atheist campaigns enjoy the significant advantage that atheism in the population at large (not speaking personally) tends to follow education as does money. i.e. well-educated people are more likely to be atheist and also tend to have the highest incomes. I think this might be contributing in a significant way to the success of the ABC.
Still, in your case, perhaps god will provide.

Hi,
i do not really feel i can respond to your comment as it is your opinion and has too many floors to even warrant a response. If you would like to know how the campaign is going then look out for the buses which will be around. The fool says there is no God. You can find out more by keeping an eye out for the updates on

I’d just like to draw your attention to this:
“The Atheist’s Guide To Christmas” is the UK’s first atheist charity book, featuring contributions from Richard Dawkins, Derren Brown, Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh, Claire Rayner, David Baddiel, Charlie Brooker and many more. It’s been edited by Ariane Sherine, the creator of the hugely successful Atheist Bus Campaign. It’s out on Oct 1st and all royalties are going to the HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust. Please pre-order now:
The Atheist’s Guide is a mix of humorous and poignant contributions from over 40 various prominent atheists. It’ll make an ideal Christmas gift for your atheist friends. Your religious friends will love it too, or, even better, it’ll put them in a foul mood for Xmas! So a win-win situation! More info on the Facebook group:
Your support will not only maintain the profile of atheism in the UK, it will also help raise funds for the very worthy THT charity. Please note that the contributors, and Ms Sherine, have waived payment for their considerable input into the “Guide”.
Thank you, and please pass this message on to everyone you know!!

Exacly, its blackmail. Its way around making it a federal law. Some states don't feel the drinking age has to be at 21. THE madd people made this on a federal level. I don't think the states should be buyllied into this law.

How is weed ok to legize but not booze? YOu do realize the agrument to keep weed out of people the same as booze. They are scared of more car accendents. Don't you think the drugg lords acutally like this drining age because it makes there seem drugs easier to get?
You do know the teens iam talking about are ADULTS not mintors. So if they hurt themselves that is there fault.

I support the drinking age being 16. Except for Ryan. For him its 30. Jesus Christ, making all teenagers look bad. All through highschool my friends drank, usually only a few times a month because of lack of access, but also because they were all straight A kids trying to get into Ivys and they had work to do for school, a job, and multiple extra-curriculars. They got wasted, forgot what they did last night, not much drunk sex though, and in one case one had to go to the hospital. But aside from that they were fine, and are kicking ass in college. They started drinking at 16 but didn't do a lot til 17. They also smoked a few times a month.
As for Ryan, the fact is that social drinkers actually live longer, are happier, make friends more easily and in general live better lives than non-drinkers. Of course binge drinking is bad, much like too much exercise is bad, or eating too much. Most problems with mind altering substances are the result of personal issues. Of course, some are a lot worse than others, like crack or heroin. But LSD, shrooms, weed, alcohol, and Salvia are generally low % life ruiners when used appropriately.

Anyone who open there mouth and fights back is just whinny immature teen right? I advoate that if my personal drinking age is 30 then you are not allowed to have children. (or sex)
"not much drunk sex though"
Thx science a fraud like you doesn't have children.
"As for Ryan, the fact is that social drinkers actually live longer, are happier, make friends more easily and in general live better lives than non-drinker"
I never disputed that. Actually, people are binge drinking those few times a month that they do drink. Some say its because of the drinking age.

i have no interest in either sex or children so ill make that trade. no drinking for you til age 30.
and my friends didnt have a lot of drunk sex. this is an objective fact. so im not sure what you are babbling about.
<![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply
That is sad you don't even get to have sex. Lets had jerking it to the list to make you really suffer.
I don't understand what you are babbling about. I said the fact is the drinking age is killing more people then its saving and its infringing on my right to do what i wish iwth my body and infringing of parents rights to teach there kids how to drink responsible. If that is whining then the presidentual debates are televised whining.

- Creator Bill
The Creator Bill
The Creator Bill is a new and clever scheme to get more of an acknowledgement of religion into the classrooms. Under the guise of patriotism, proponents try to force all students to utter the \Creator Phrase\ the first blush, this bill seems harmless, and our resistance seems like a dramatic overreaction. However, once you think about our points, our conclusion is really quite undeniable.
Proponents say it will increase patriotism, but never support this arguement. In fact, teachers know the opposite is true.
There is no support for a shortage of patriotism, nor that an increase of patriotism would do any good.
\We the People\ is a better phrase. Is all-inclusive and it is law (the Declaration of Independance is not),
The Proposed phrase offends:
- Women (\all MEN are created equal\),
- Pro-choice people (\among these are life...\), or African-Americans (it is well-known that the founding fathers did not include black people as \men\)
Then, why choose this phrase? Because this is the only fraction of a sentence in all the founding documents that sounds like an endorsement of religion.
