OU Singles Connections To Present Two Events, June 16 and June 26
The June 16 event, part of the “Dining Series,” for singles ages 35-50, will consist of a buffet dinner at Mendy’s Galleria, 115 East 57 Street, 6:30 pm. An after-dinner discussion, How to Successfully Invest in Volatile Times, will feature David Goldwasser, CLU, CHFC, and Scott Menta, CLU, CHFC, CFP, Metlife Securities Inc. The cost of the event is $30 in advance, $36 at the door.
Frank Buchweitz, National Director of Community Services and Special Projects, declared, “Investment education in these uncertain economic times is extremely important. This program not only provides a chance to learn and discuss potential investment strategies, but also offers the opportunity to meet and mingle.”
The June 26 “Summerfest” event, for singles in their 20’s and 30’s, will be a dinner and comedy show featuring actor/singer/comedian Stuart Rappaport, the 2005 Jewish Week Comedian of the Year. It will take place in Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun, 125 East 85 Street. The cost of the event is $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
Frank Buchweitz declared, “This event is really a great opportunity for young people to get together in a completely relaxed setting. We have a vibrant, young comedian to highlight what promises to be a most enjoyable evening. Those who tend to shy away from singles programs in general should be aware that this is the opportunity for a fun evening without pressure – just enjoy as we welcome summer!”
To RSVP to either event, contact 212-613-8300. | http://www.ou.org/general_article/ou_singles_connections_to_present_two_events_june_16_and_june_26 | 2013-05-18T10:54:06 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
OU TORAH
Person in the Parsha
Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Rabbi Weinreb: Ekev
Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb category. What I have noticed is that many of them fail to include a chapter on one of the most important components of child rearing: discipline. With few exceptions, the most that these books contain on the subject of discipline is a chapter on "setting limits".
In my opinion, and certainly in my experience, discipline is an essential component of all parenting and teaching relationships. And discipline is not just about "setting limits". It is also about "setting goals."
My reading on the subject of dealing with children, whether as a parent or as a teacher, has taught me of the importance of setting clear and achievable goals and objectives for children to reach, and then to show recognition of the achievement of those goals.
My experience as a parent myself, as a teacher for many years, and as a psychotherapist for much of my adult life, has borne out the wisdom of these two steps: Firstly, lay out the expectations that you have of the child and clearly define the nature of the task at hand. Secondly, when the child has accomplished the task, even if not totally successfully, give him or her feedback and recognition, whether in the form of a verbal compliment or a nonverbal gesture.
Discipline does not just involve “setting limits”. Indeed, saying “no” and issuing restrictive commands may not at all be what discipline is about. Rather, it involves “setting goals”. It is about extending a challenge, with the implicit confidence that sends that child the message, “You can do it!”
This, to me, is the essence of discipline. It is not synonymous with punishment. It is synonymous with learning and personal growth.
And this is what I think is meant by the passage in this week's Torah reading, Ekev, "Bear in mind that the Lord your God disciplines you just as a man disciplines his son." (Deuteronomy 8:5)
The Torah has much to say, even if the parenting books don't, about discipline. It takes for granted that parents will discipline their children, and that teachers will discipline their students. After all, that is why students are called disciples.
The Torah insists, moreover, that the Almighty, too, disciplines us. And He does so in much the same way as successful parents do. He sets clear expectations for us, and He shows us His favor when we meet those expectations and His disfavor when we fail to do so. The Lord really is a Father in this sense.
It is no wonder then, that the book of Proverbs cautions us to "heed the discipline of your father, and do not forsake the instruction of your mother." Notice: first discipline, and then instruction. First "mussar", and Torah only afterwards.
As usual, there is an even deeper message in the word that the Torah uses for discipline. The root “YSR" is the root of both "discipline" and "suffering".
Judaism teaches us that there is a meaning to our suffering. Sometimes that meaning is obvious to us; more typically though, the meaning eludes us, and we desperately search for it.
But one thing is clear. We learn through discipline, and we also learn through suffering.
The words of Victor Frankl, the psychologist and Auschwitz survivor, who certainly knew a thing or two about suffering, are very instructive here:
" . . . On the biological plane, as we know, pain is a meaningful watcher and warder. In the psycho-spiritual realm it has a similar function. Suffering is intended to guard man from apathy, from psychic rigor mortis. As long as we suffer we remain psychically alive. In fact, we mature in suffering, grow because of it – it makes us richer and stronger."
It is through the processes of discipline and suffering that we develop and are transformed. Both processes are painful, sometimes profoundly so. But through both, we widen our horizons, enhance our spirits, and attain a deeper understanding of our life’s purpose.
Discipline and suffering: important to us all as individuals, as part of the Jewish people, and as mortal humans, struggling to cope and, ultimately, to grow. | http://www.ou.org/torah/article/rabbi_weinrebs_torah_column_parshas_ekev1 | 2013-05-18T10:41:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
September 6, 2012 - 7:54am ET
The old dawg can still hunt. At the top of his game, gaining energy from the crowd, Bill Clinton, the “old country boy from Arkansas” tore it up last night in Charlotte. Political junkies, pundits of all stripes, and Democratic activists were agog, watching the maestro at work.
Clinton set out the frame (kudos to progressive economist Jared Bernstein): the choice between "you are on your own" or "we are in this together. " Then he made the case for what Obama had accomplished – and a prosecutor’s indictment of the poisons Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are peddling.
Clinton treats his audience as adults, willing to entertain and inform. He pays them the respect of laying out policy arguments. And then delights them with his humor, his animation, his blarney.
He made the points – repeatedly urging Americans to “listen to this” – that too often are ignored. That Democratic presidents produce more jobs than Republicans and that modern Republican presidents “tripled the debt” in the 12 years before Clinton took office and doubled in the eight years after he left.
Most important, he went after Republicans not simply for abandoning the middle class but for traducing the poor. Perhaps the most telling point in his speech was his explanation that Republicans would reduce Medicaid by one-third – hurting poor kids, seniors in need of nursing homes and the disabled. The middle class had a stake in the prospects of the poor.
And he seized the Romney campaign's mendacious tropes – "Are you better off?," "Obama's cutting Medicare," "Obama's gutting welfare reform" – and use them as a club to batter Romney and Ryan with.
But note the contrast between Clinton’s address and the powerful speech by Elizabeth Warren that preceded it. Warren reprised many of the same themes about investing in our future – but she didn’t stop there. She let Americans know what the problem was: that the system was rigged against them. That rich and entrenched interests – “Wall Street CEOs strutting in the halls of Congress” after we bailed them out – rigged the game for their own benefit. They pushed through the tax breaks and deregulation – much of it during the Clinton years when Goldman Sachs’ Bob Rubin drove U.S. economic policy. They cleaned up and the middle class took it on the chin. Reviving the American Dream takes more than the right policy, it requires taking back Washington and cleaning out the stables.
For all of Clinton’s mastery, progressives can’t go back to the Clinton economy. That economy was built on the dot-com bubble. Clinton championed the deregulation of Wall Street that opened up the financial wilding that eventually drove the economy over the cliff. He pushed through the corporate trade policies – NAFTA, China’s admission to the World Trade Organization – that contributed to our record trade deficits, the offshoring of jobs abroad, the hollowing out of American manufacturing. His New Democrats argued that equal opportunity was all that mattered, not equality of outcomes. And then they helped usher in an era in which the wealthiest 1 percent captured the rewards of growth, while working families lost ground.
And even last night, Clinton essentially signed Obama onto a version of the Simpson-Bowles agenda which promises debilitating cuts in domestic programs, cutbacks in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in return for “tax reform” that lowers rates on the top for the wealthy and corporations. That’s a grand bargain even the old dawg can’t sell.
Obama’s challenge has always been that he had to build a new foundation for the economy. There is no return to an old economy built on bubbles and debt, on Wall Street gambling and feckless corporate trade policies, on extreme inequality and stagnant wages. The inequality of wealth and income has translated into a money-drenched politics where the rules are rigged.
If this economy is to work for working people once more, workers have to be empowered, skewed CEO compensation deals have to be fixed, global trade imbalances must be corrected, vital investments have to be made in education and training, in children and in the sinews of a 21st-century economy – from roads to cutting-edge broadband to a smart grid and renewable energy. And that requires progressive tax reform that starts with raising rates on the top, not lowering them; taxing financial speculation, not unleashing it.
As Clinton showed, the case for Obama over the mendacity and wrong-headedness of Romney/Ryan is clear. But to rebuild the American dream, to revive the middle class, we better make certain that Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown are elected to spearhead a new generation of progressive reform. And we'll need an powerful people's movement taking Washington back from the moneyed interests that now dominate | http://www.ourfuture.org/institute/blog-entry/2012093606/old-dawg-still-can-hunt | 2013-05-18T10:33:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Things to Consider When Getting a Motorcycle Insurance Quote
Things.Riding a motorcycle is inherently riskier than most other types of vehicles. Because motorcycle riders are exposed, they are more at risk than drivers of enclosed vehicles like cars. Furthermore, drivers of large automobiles often have trouble spotting smaller motorcycles, especially when those motorcycles are driving in the automobiles blind spot. For this reason, motorcycle accidents are commonplace.Since motorcycles are small, open carriage, two-wheeled vehicles, people who drive motorcycles need to utilize different driving tactics. Generally speaking, motorcyclists should drive more defensively. If a motorcycle gets in an accident, it is liable to be completely totaled, and the driver is likely to be injured. Motorcycle safety courses tend to outline all of these risks and often offer sound advice on motorcycle safety.Due to the above facts, a motorcycle insurance quote should be designed to include rider medical expenses as well as what the whole bike would cost. In order to actually have total coverage for motorcycle riders, both of these expenses must be covered. Since personal injury costs are often just as expensive, and likely more important, than bike costs, it is important to have injury costs included in a motorcycle insurance quote.Since, in most cases, the price of a motorcycle is far less than the price of a full size automobile, the price of motorcycle insurance is far less than standard car insurance. The difference in insurance cost reflects this difference in value. This fact is only true for policies that only cover the bike.One of the best ways to figure out the value of a motorcycle is to consult the blue book listing. Obviously, used motorcycles are valued less than new ones, and insurance for a used motorcycle reflects this. Usually, when insuring a used motorcycle it is best to insure the whole cost of the bike, as they are often totaled in accidents.A common mistake people make is failing to read their motorcycle insurance quote thoroughly. Paying attention to the fine print is the best way to insure proper coverage. The worst time to receive an unwanted surprise is after an accident, so it is always best to be informed and prepared.

Militancy was uprooted in Punjab some time ago, but the sound of gunfire still ripples through the state. The new terrorism unleashed by the children of politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen means that shots fired in the air are the familiar punctuation to marriages and drunken brawls. The killing of Jessica Lall, feel the police, was hardly an isolated incident.
Manoj Kumar, nephew of Mani Ram Godara, Haryana home minister, accused in the 1998 murder of Manjit Singh, is facing trial under Section 302. A month after Manjits murder, Aman Beniwal, nephew of Haryana mla Vidya Beniwal, asked his gunmen to fire at security guards at Picadilly Cinema in Chandigarh (owned, ironically, by Manu Sharmas father). In March 1996, Kamal Deep Arora alias Bobby, son of the then Punjab minister Bhagwan Das Arora kidnapped a shopkeeper accompanied by his gunmen. The two security men were arrested; Bobbys fate is unknown.
A Punjab police sub-inspector was wounded by Gurkirat Singh, grandson of former CM Beant Singh in August 1993. Gurkirat followed this up by abducting French tourist Katia Darnand in September 1994. In November 1997, Neeraj and Pawan, nephews of former Delhi chief minister Sahib Singh Verma, allegedly shot dead a property dealer Devinder Singh.
The real villain of the piece are the guns and revolvers they use. Says Ved Marwah, former Delhi police commissioner, "A gun is a status symbol, making these boys trigger-happy. The rich feel they can get away with anything."
Amod Kanth, joint commissioner of police (southern range) in Delhi, says that obtaining an official gun licence is not easy. A citizen has to first apply to the dcp (licensing), who checks out the applicants background, threat perception and ability to handle the weapon. Reports at three police levels are received. Then the individual is interviewed by the dcp (licensing). Its a good system on paper. In reality, the authorities are often under political pressure to issue licenses to those who are not qualified to carry these arms.
Delhis 54,055 firearm holders include former police officers, politicians, businessmen and security agency staff. So far this year, 2,588 licence applications have been received, 702 licences granted. Though Manu Sharma is licensed to carry a .32 pistol, the weapon used to shoot Jessica Lall was a .22 bore pistol. The police are trying to ascertain how Sharma got the weapon. An added worry for the police is the changing profile of gun buyers. Says a Delhi arms dealer, "Now we get the nouveau riche, or people who are making an extra buck."
Senior superintendent of police, Chandigarh, N.S. Randhawa, feels there should be an outright ban on issuing firearm licences. "We are a Gandhian nation.

With solid state drives becoming more and more popular, gamers and enthusiasts are using them to squeeze as much performance out of their systems as they can. To keep up with the demand for speed, manufacturers are testing new hardware and technology to give the users what they want. A lot of the fading SSD drives were using the aging Indilix Barefoot Controller, which, while it was a tried and true technology, the times are changing. Some manufacturers are switching to a newer controller designed to push the limits even further, while providing newer technologies to further the solid state drive. This new controller is made by a company called SandForce and the design of the controller is definitely catching the eye of many SSD manufacturers, including OCZ. OCZ is using this new controller in their newest Vertex series, which is dubbed the Vertex 2. The Vertex 2 series is designed for maximum performance for the mainstream and performance sector and comes in sizes varying from 50GB to 480GB in capacity. While I have your interest, let's take a better look at the OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and this new controller.
The OCZ Vertex 2 came packaged in a nice little box that just fitted around the drive, reducing waste and bulk. On the front of the package is a picture of the drive as well as the capacity, in this case 120GB, and some of the specifications. On the back of the package there is a more detailed list of the specifications and the features of the Vertex 2. Some of the key points of the Vertex 2 are that it is a high performance design with MLC Flash Technology, has TRIM support, and is RAID capable.
Opening the package gives you a protective insert which is designed to protect the drive as much as possible by encasing it in foam. This protective design ensures that your new purchase arrives in perfect factory condition with no damage. Included with the Vertex 2 drive is the 2.5" to 3.5" converting bracket, which allows you to mount the drive into your desktop chassis, the mounting screws, information guide, and a sticker that states "My SSD is faster than your HDD".
Now that we have the Vertex 2 out of the packaging, we can get a better look at the drive casing and internals.

There will always be moments when an iPod will not yield to commands. Oftentimes this is caused by too many button presses, a badly made app, or perhaps just too much stored files. When these symptoms appear, there is one thing left to do before deciding on a new iPod: a hard reset.
This also is the final cure for iPod Touch users who have forgotten the passcode to their devices as well. Now before toggling between buttons in order to perform the hard reset, it is necessary to understand what it means to the device and the user.
What Will The iPod Hard Reset Do?
A hard reset on earlier iPod models is literally a lifesaver. Resetting simply powers down the device, clears some settings, and then turns it back on. No data is lost, save for a few settings such as time and date especially if the battery is fully drained. This works perfectly on the older models since the most common issue is that of the screen freezing or a device refusing to properly turn on. An iPod Touch hard reset, on the other hand, performs the same functions without endangering any stored media or apps. The hard reset in the iPod Touch is also a necessary step when it cannot be unlocked or refuses to update. Unfortunately if such is the condition, some data will be lost.
How To Reset iPod Touch Correctly
First the hold switch needs to toggled from on to off. This means sliding the hold switch to the on position for a second or two, then turning it off again. Afterwards the menu button must be pressed simultaneously with the play/pause button for at least 8 seconds. This particular step may have to be repeated until the Apple or iPod logo is shown on screen. It is possible that for older models the center button and menu button will be held together. A final attempt would be to connect the iPod to a computer and then perform the hard reset.
Hard Reset iPod Touch To Recover Control
A hard reset on an iPod Touch is a similar process. To perform a hard reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons until the familiar Apple logo is on screen. The iPod Touch should power down and turn itself on after a few seconds. If the hard reset does not do the job of recovering the state of the iPod Touch or if the passcode is lost, the device needs to be connected to its host computer. Additional steps will have to be performed, but the hard reset is in the heart of the process.
As soon as iTunes prompts the restore procedure, press yes, and it will start the recovery process. Do take note that this only works if a backup has been performed beforehand. Otherwise, the recovery will only recover the original settings of the iPod Touch when it was first bought. This means all apps, media, and personal options will be lost forever. | http://www.oversite.org/ipod-hard-reset.html | 2013-05-18T10:21:47 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Pupils get a taste of 1776 school life (From Oxford Mail)
Pupils get a taste of 1776 school life
7:00am Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News
ABINGDON School pupils have been learning about some of the famous figures from its past, including the illegitimate grandson of Charles II and all five members of Radiohead.
An exhibition at Abingdon’s County Hall Museum opened on Thursday, the 450th anniversary of an endowment by former pupil John Roysse that established the school.
Pupils got a chance to hold antiques, including a maths exercise book from 1776, and old writing slates.
Yazan Odeh, 11, from Didcot, said: “It is fantastic to be able to hold something so old and see the type of maths they did at Abingdon 250 years ago.”
The exhibits were gathered together by school archivist Sarah Wearne, who said: “I think it is fantastic what one small grammar school in a small county town can produce over 450 years.”
She said she was particularly impressed by the bravery awards given to soldiers of both world wars who had attended the school.
The free exhibition runs until April 21. | http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/10205262.Pupils_get_a_taste_of_1776_school_life/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Virtual Communities and the New Economy
A ‘virtual community’ is a new form of social grouping where its members meet and interact using computer-mediated communication. As seen in using computers and communicating through the Internet, such communities exist even without the establishment of formal procedural and institutional authority. The chapter focuses on whether virtual communities have more to offer for organisational innovation and change other than technological novelty. This chapter attempts to answer the following questions: Do virtual communities influence the outcomes in voluntary association? Do these outcomes entail a ethos or a new principle of human association? Is the basis for the existence of virtual communities sustainable? And Do the factors influencing the competition in different types of virtual communities indicate a collapse in their variety?
Keywords: virtual community, social grouping, procedural authority, institutional authority, human . | http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/oso/viewoxchap/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198296553.001.0001/acprof-9780198296553-chapter-2 | 2013-05-18T10:21:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Newsroom
Alison Hannah Wins National Security Education Program Scholarship
Alison Hannah, a junior diplomacy and world affairs major at Occidental College, has been awarded a $4,000 David L. Boren Scholarship to study Russian grammar, phonetics and ancient history in Moscow. Hannah, a Redmond High School graduate, will be in Russia during the 2002 fall semester through a program administered by Vermont’s Middlebury College.
What is more important than academics, however, is the knowledge that I will gain about Russian culture and society,” Hannah said. “Too many tragic events are the result of ignorance and misunderstanding, and I hope to prevent these instances through the knowledge that I acquire abroad.”
Hannah plans to eventually enter graduate school to study law or some aspect of international relations.
The David L. Boren Scholarship is named after the former Oklahoma senator whose David L. Boren Act of 1991 started the Virginia-based National Security Education Program.. Since 1994, about 1,400 NSEP Scholarship winners have studied in 65 countries. | http://www.oxy.edu/news/alison-hannah-wins-national-security-education-program-scholarship | 2013-05-18T10:41:45 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Editorial: MIT connects business community
Our editor recently attended a once-a-decade board retreat for the MIT Enterprise Forum’s Central Coast chapter. This is the smallest chapter in the nation but one of the most vibrant, serving entrepreneurs across the Tri-Counties and sometimes beyond.
Although the specifics of the board deliberations will remain confidential, it is important to recognize the role that programs such as MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast play in the overall economic vitality of the region. The power of combining a global brand such as MIT with our region’s world-class entrepreneurs cannot be overstated.
At various times in the past couple of decades the ability of our MIT Enterprise Forum chapter to reach our entire region has waxed and waned with the economy. Based on the enthusiasm level at the retreat, the forum is poised for a significant growth phase.
We encourage our local entrepreneurs and members of the MIT community who are living in the region to engage with the forum. It is truly a unique opportunity to learn, connect and thrive.

The Z16 was a camera that never was. It is a subminiature camera for 10 x 14mm images on 16mm film in Minolta cassettes. The lens is a fixed focus 23/3.5 Zunow, with a diaphragm that runs to f/11. The shutter has speeds of 200, 100, 50 and bulb. The camera is equipped with a selenium exposure meter.
I suspect this was designed to be a quick way to bring in some much needed cash. The Zunow SLR had not been a big seller and must have cost a fortune to design and tool up for. Unfortunately, the camera was too late and did not go into production. In 1959 some examples were produced and do exist.
If anyone out there has a Z16 I'd like to hear about it, and pictures would be appreciated. Should you have one for sale, we'd like to hear about that as well.

Titus Flavius Vespasianus was the elder son of the Roman emperor Vespasian. Titus was born in A.D. 30 and became emperor in A.D. 79. Soon after his twentieth birthday, he served as military tribune in Germany and Britain.
In A.D. 66 Vespasian was sent to Judea by Nero to crush the Jewish rebellion. In a rather unusual move, Titus was appointed to control one of Vespasian's three legions. In the city of Caesarea Maritima the Roman legions proclaimed Vespasian emperor in A.D. 69, and Titus was then made supreme commander of the Jewish War. In August of A.D. 70 the temple in Jerusalem was taken and destroyed by the armies of Titus. The Jewish rebels were not completely defeated until A.D. 74 when the fortress of Masada was taken.
After the death of his father, Titus became emperor in A.D. 79. He ruled only 26 months, and died suddenly on Sept. 13, 81 of natural causes. He was deified after his death. | http://www.padfield.com/2003/titus.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:48 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Review by: Matt Peters
A fair warning to those with phobias, the opening scene of this film features clowns. It’s not just a quick look at clowns, no. This is a prolonged chase featuring Mel Gibson wearing a full on clown mask. Some may take this as a sign that he’s got a sense of humor about his recent behavior. Others may view this as a clear sign that it’s all downhill from here.
As the title and cast list would lead you to believe, the film does in fact take place in Mexico. Gibson’s character, who is never specifically named, hops the border to escape US law enforcement after stealing from a crime lord.

New York State Library Tour
Date: 20 June, 2013
Cost: $40
Departure: 9:30 am from the Desmond Hotel
Return: About 4:30 pm from the Cultural Center on Madison Ave., Albany
The 2013 Palatines to America National Conference is being held in an exciting part of our country, where so much history has taken place. Albany, New York is situated on the Hudson River, about one hundred and fifty miles north of New York City. Henry Hudson, exploring for the Dutch and looking for a shorter route to Asia, sailed up this river in 1609 as far as the Cohoes Falls above Troy. Soon after, trading began with the Indians and settlements were established, first on Manhattan Island and then at Fort Orange (Albany). Early Palatines in the 1700s traveled through Albany as they sought better conditions further inland. Later immigrants traveled by boat up the River and over the Mohawk River and Erie Canal as they moved farther and farther west.
General Burgoyne was held prisoner at General Philip Schuyler’s home in Albany after the British defeat at Saratoga in 1777. Palatines fought in the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. New York played a significant role in the War of 1812. The Albany area was a major staging area for important battles in the north with Canada during that war. A pivotal role was played by New York in the Civil War. As the most populous and wealthiest state at the time, it supplied the most men, money and material in the north’s struggle with the south. A major exhibit available for viewing at the New York State Museum, which shares the Cultural Building with the State Library and Archives is “An Irrepressible Conflict – The Empire State in the Civil War.” An immense collection of information is available to the researcher in the collections archived here in the capital city of Albany.
Our Thursday June 20 tour will take those participating on a narrated jaunt of downtown Albany, passing the river front where, if we are lucky, the replica of the Half Moon (Henry Hudson’s ship) and other ships may be at anchor. The State Capital at the top of State Street and other historic places will be pointed out as we make our way to the Cultural Center. We should arrive there by 10:30.
On the 7th floor, our group will be met by a Library staff member for a guided walking tour in groups of up to 20, of the local history and genealogical resources of the New York State Library. Next, the group will take the elevator to the Archives on the 11th floor. There, a member from the Archives will greet us and take us to a meeting room where information about the Archives will be provided by video.
Time will be available for enjoying lunch, doing personal research, exploring the magnificent museum and perhaps visiting the gift shop. The bus to return to the Desmond will leave promptly at 4 pm.
Space for this trip is limited to 40. If you plan to take the trip, sign up early when you register for the Palatines to America National Conference.
The May meeting of the New York Chapter took place at the Desmond Hotel, 600 Albany/Shaker Rd, Albany.
We held a meeting of the board first at 8:30.
Reading of the minutes by Sarah Israel as our secretary was unable to attend. Sarah also took the minutes of the meeting. There was a discussion in regards to the minutes where National approved in March our request to allow us to define a quorum as the number of members present will be presented to the membership for approval for final approval. Important issues will be sent by mail for vote if needed.
The nominating committee consisting of Grace Saatman and John Paris, proposed a slate of officers as follows: President, Sarah Israel: Secretary, Elinor Paris; and Director, Barbara de Mare.
Doug Fox is doing a great job as membership chairman. It has been difficult to get accurate membership from National, but Doug has managed to do so. We still need updates on e-mail addresses, as they are constantly changing. It will be much easier to send the newsletter by e-mail. If you wish to receive the newsletter by e-mail, please contact Joe Lieby at jlieby522@gmail.com to receive your copy. Otherwise send $8. With you annual subscription to cover cost of mailing it to you. | http://www.palam.org/newyork-palam-chapter.php | 2013-05-18T10:12:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

On Day #1, we traveled from Denver to Kiowa
to setup camp at the Fair Grounds. In the evening, an informal lecture was
provided by Kirk Johnson & Bob Raynolds which covered stratigraphic and
paleontological topics centering around the Kiowa well. This 302 meter
core well was drilled by DMNS (and other cooperating agencies) and provided stratigraphic data that was used
on our daily trips to other localities in the basin.
The studies conducted as part of the Denver Basin Project have
revealed that the sediments of the basin are the result of two separate
"pulses" of synorogenic sedimentation. (Raynolds, Johnson, 2003)
These pulses are informally known as D1 (mostly Cretaceous) & D2 (mostly
Paleocene & Eocene).
Additional notes on the evening lecture are missing because I
arrived late on Day #1 from a dig in the Green River Formation, Parachute Creek
Member at Douglas Pass, CO. This trip was conducted by the Western
Interior Paleontological Society (WIPS).

60% of pancreatic cancers arise in the head of the pancreas, 15% in the body, and 5% in the tail (see diagram). Cancers of the pancreas are usually hard, grey-white, poorly defined masses.
The most common type of pancreatic cancers are infiltrating ductal adenocarcinomas, that arise from cells that form ducts and secrete mucin. These are commonly called "pancreatic cancers".A broad spectrum of tumours can arise in the pancreas, many are cystic, some are benign while others can be malignant.
Some examples are:
Serous CystadenomasSerous cystadenomas are benign cystic neoplasms that arise twice as often in women as in men and typically present in the seventh decade of life with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain. They may also present as palpable abdominal masses. Serous cystadenomas are almost always benign, and surgical resection is curative in the vast majority of patients.Mucinous Cystic NeoplasmsMucinous cystic neoplasms almost always arise in women, and in contrast to serous cystadenomas, they can be benign, borderline malignant, or malignant. Mucinous cystic neoplasms usually arise in the body or tail of the pancreas and present as painless, slow-growing masses. The only way to distinguish the entirely benign form (cystadenoma) from its malignant counterpart (cystadenocarcinoma) is pathologic assessment after complete surgical removal. Benign mucinous cystadenomas lack significant cytologic or architectural atypia, while borderline mucinous cystic neoplasms show significant cytologic and architectural atypia but no tissue invasion. Malignant mucinous cystadenocarcinomas have an associated invasive carcinoma.Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN)IPMN is a grossly visible, non invasive, mucin-producing, predominantly papillary or rarely flat epithelial neoplasm arising from the main pancreatic duct or branching ducts, with varying degrees of duct dilation. IPMNs usually produce a lesion greater than 1cm in diameter and include a variety of cell types with a spectrum of cytologic and architectural atypia.Solid-Pseudopapillary TumourThe unusual solid-pseudopapillary tumour is seen mainly in adolescent girls and young women. These tumours often cause abdominal discomfort because of their large size, and they are usually cured by resection. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice, and although some solid-pseudopapillary tumours are locally aggressive, most pursue a benign course if they are completely resected.
Endocrine Neoplasms, also known as 'islet cell tumours', are rare in comparison with tumours of the exocrine pancreas, accounting for only 2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. They may be benign or malignant with the ability to spread to the liver and lymph nodes, and it is often difficult to predict the biologic behaviour of these neoplasms.InsulinomasInsulinomas are the most common of pancreatic endocrine neoplasms. They are most often found within the pancreas and are generally small benign lesions. Most are solitary, although multiple lesions have been described.GastrinomasGastrinomas (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome) characterised by marked hypersecretion of gastrin and severe peptic ulceration. They may arise in the pancreas, the peripancreatic region, or the wall of the duodenum. Over half of gastrin producing tumours are locally invasive or have already metastasised at the time of diagnosis.GlucagonomasGlucagonomas are associated with increased serum levels of glucagon and a syndrome consisting of mild diabetes mellitus, a characteristic skin rash (necrolytic migratory erythema), and anemia. They occur most frequently in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women and are characterized by extremely high plasma glucagon levels.SomatostatinomasSomatostatinomas are extremely rare neoplasms and are often associated with diabetes mellitus, gall stones and steatorrhea. They are exceedingly difficult to localize preoperatively. High plasma somatostatin levels are required for diagnosis. | http://www.pancreaticcancer.net.au/pancreatic-cancer/what-is-pancreatic-cancer/types-of-pancreatic-cancer | 2013-05-18T11:02:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

PAN joins UFW on 200 mile march for fairness
."
During a lunch stop at Veronica Lara's home next to Highway 99 in the Central Valley, farmworker, environmental and health leaders called on Governor Jerry Brown to protect field laborers and stop the use of cancer-causing pesticide methyl iodide. Recently released documents show that state officials in the Schwarzenegger Administration approved the use of methyl iodide, despite clear warnings from independent scientists that exposure to the chemical may cause cancer, thyroid disease and late-term miscarriages.
Gov. Brown can take one critical step to protect farmworkers by banning methyl iodide.
Farmworkers face serious health risks from methyl iodide, as they are exposed twice during the process of fumigating strawberry fields: first when the pesticide is applied to the ground and sealed in with black tarps, and again when the tarps are removed. Neighboring communities also face exposure through airborne pesticide drift.
The exposure levels approved as "safe" for workers are 120 times higher than the levels government scientists say protect against miscarriages and 56 times higher than the levels staff scientists say protect against thyroid cancer.
The Fair Treatment for Farm Workers Now march, organized by UFW, will end at the State Capitol this Sunday. The peregrinos (or pilgrims) are pushing the Governor to protect worker rights, including banning methyl iodide and signing The Fair Treatment for Farm Workers Act that would make it easier for farmworkers to join unions and ensure they are paid for overtime.
In his June 28 message vetoing the bill, Gov. Brown wrote he was "not yet convinced" he needed to sign the measure. "'Not yet is not soon enough for the workers who face continued perils from extreme heat, methyl iodide, unfair wages and threatening employers," said UFW President Arturo S. Rodriguez. "Gov. Brown can take one critical step to protect farmworkers by banning methyl iodide."

Action Alert: Stop Registration of Bt Crops August 6, 2001
Note: Comment period extended through September 10, 2001.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently determining whether genetically engineered insecticidal crops should continue to be grown in the United States. Because the permits under which the agency first approved insecticidal corn and cotton expire in 2001, EPA must decide in the near future whether or not -- or under what conditions -- to allow farmers to plant the crops in 2002 and beyond. Genetically Engineered Food Alert urges you to send comments to EPA before August 31, 2001..
Many nongovernmental organizations, scientists and farmers around the world are opposed to the use of Bt crops for a variety of reasons including:
* Bt crops pose may pose serious long term.
* Bt crops may cause allergic reactions. While the EPA no longer permits pesticidal StarLink corn to be grown due to concerns about its allergenic potential, the Agency has refused to subject other Bt corn varieties to similar scrutiny. This is especially important in light of an EPA-sponsored study which detected antibodies consistent with allergic reactions in farmworkers exposed to Bt sprays.
* Bt crops can contaminate organic and conventional crops. Organic and conventional corn farmers have lost valuable markets because some of their crops were contaminated with genetically engineered corn. Contamination occurs when genetically engineered corn pollen, often carried for miles by the wind, pollinates regular corn. The EPA's analysis has not considered the significant economic impacts of Bt corn on organic farmers and conventional farmers who don't plant genetically engineered crops.
* Widespread use of Bt crops can lead to loss of Bt spray as an effective pest management tool. For more than 50 years, conventional and organic farmers have used Bt in spray form to control insect pests. Toxins in Bt sprays break down rapidly in the environment and do not persist in water or accumulate in the food chain. Now, because of widespread use of Bt crops in which the Bt does not break down and there is increased insect exposure to the toxin, insect resistance could develop and this valuable pest management tool could be lost.
Genetically Engineered Food Alert urges you to tell EPA to end the registrations of Bt crops in the United States. EPA must receive your comments by August 31, 2001.

Julia Ward Howe
Born in 1819, in New York City, Julia Ward Howe was one of seven children of Samuel Ward, a Wall Street Banker and Julia Ward, a published poet. Her mother passed away during the birth of her seventh child, so Julia and her siblings were taken care of by their strict, but loving father until he passed away in1839. Because education was limited to women during this time, Julia educated herself without her father knowing, and grew to be a very intelligent woman. After her father’s death, Julia moved to live with her brother Sam and his wife Emily, until she quickly started her own life.
In 1843, Julia met and married Samuel Gridley Howe, who was a teacher at Perkins Institute for the blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. He was a great deal older than her and took complete control over everything Julia did. She was not allowed to work, but instead had to stay home and perform the duties of a wife and mother. Her husband even took control of her inheritance and ended up wasting most of it on bad investments. Despite her husband’s controlling behavior Julia still managed to educate herself further, become a famous writer, and have a huge impact on the reform movement, especially
women’s suffrage.
I believe that Julia Ward Howe is very worthy of study. Aside from her obvious intelligence and famous writing, she helped start the women’s rights movement and impacted it greatly. Her writing is what started it all for her and helped her become famous. Passion Flowers, her first collection of poems made into a book, were published anonymously, but people soon realized who the author was. Although, her husband was not happy about it, Julia’s poems gained a lot of attention. They were said to be grave and rare to the times and called "a product wrung with tears and prayer from the deepest soul of the writer" by George Ripley of the New York Tribune. This was the start of some very bold moves on Julia’s part and it is something that I admire. She...

The case is being forwarded to the Butte County district attorney to consider charging Butte College student Matthew Lambert, 20, with felony driving under the influence resulting in great bodily injury.
Lambert, 20, was arrested at the scene of the accident Dec. 8 on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence.
The victim in the crash, Brandon Fisher, 21, emerged from a coma at Enloe Medical Center on Dec. 23 and was transported Wednesday to a rehabilitation center near Sacramento. He suffered a shattered pelvis, skull fractures and severe brain trauma in the accident.
Though Fisher was also intoxicated at the time of the accident, with a .25 blood alcohol level, his mother, Juline Hobbs, has been confident he was not at fault, she said Friday.
"I just want people to know the truth, that's all," she said. "I don't want people to think Brandon is an irresponsible person. He is not, and he did everything right."
It was Hobbs who located a video from a nearby gas station that provided additional evidence for the Police Department's investigation.
Until the department saw the video, crash details included misinformation from witnesses, who indicated wrong directions of travel for both Fisher and the truck that struck him, said Laver, who heads the major
Before the pickup came into view, Fisher was walking west on the north side of First Street and after pausing to check traffic, he jogged through the intersection to cross Walnut Street, police said.
Lambert was driving south on Nord Avenue and continued onto Walnut, striking Fisher in the street as the pedestrian moved southwest, possibly to avoid being hit, police said.
Lambert was driving 5 to 15 mph more than the posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour, and would have had ample time to observe and react to a pedestrian in the road, police said. It appears the crash was caused by Lambert driving under the influence in combination with speeding and/or being distracted to some degree.
Drunken driving has long been a topic in Fisher's family, Hobbs said. She is an organizer of their high school's sober graduation night and on the committee of last year's Every 15 Minutes program.
"That's why he was walking. He was making the right choice," she said.
Lambert is scheduled for arraignment in Butte County Superior Court on the original charge Jan. 18.
The investigation into the accident continues.. | http://www.paradisepost.com/policereports/ci_22316483 | 2013-05-18T10:42:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Max Travis is one of the country's best prosecutors. In
court, few can match his determination to bring criminals
to justice, even if it's at the expense of his own personal
life.
When two of Max's close friends are the victims of a
violent robbery, that leaves one of them critically
injured, Max begins an investigation into the crime, only
to have life throw him a curve ball in the form of Dana
Waverleigh-a beautiful woman who may just turn out to be
the love of his life.
But there are things about Dana that Max hasn't discovered.
Running from the past, Dana is trying to escape her ex-
lover, Jack Nizhl,, one of the robbers in Max's case. When
Jack learns of Dana's involvement with Max, he pressures
her for information, causing her to question where her true
love lies.
All the while, Jack's partner, an unbalanced meth addict,
comes closer and closer to taking out any and all people
who might have a hand in bringing him in, including his
partner's former lover.
As Max becomes further entangled in this dangerous web of
deceit, he no longer knows whom he can trust, only that if
he doesn't bring in the criminals soon, he and the woman
he's grown to love may be the next victims.

Dad saved toddler son's life from out-of-control car - but watched helplessly as his wife was killed
National News
A father pushed his son to safety when an elderly driver lost control of his car - but then watched helplessly as his wife was killed.
Desreen Brooks, 33, had bent down to speak to their son when the car mounted the pavement and struck her and 23-year-old American student Amy Werner.
Desreen and her husband Ben Dutton, 33, and their two-year-old son Jackson had just left their friends' home in West Hampstead, London, when the crash happened.
Friend Zac Schwarz said: "I still can't quite believe it happened. Ben managed to push his son out of the way and jumped out the way himself so they were fine, but Desreen wasn't."
Heartbroken Ben described his fashion agent wife as 'the most lovely person you could know'.
He a nightclub eight years ago.
Neighbours today told of chaotic scenes as the speeding car careered off the road, smashing part of a brick wall and pushing over a set of traffic lights on Saturday night.
The other victim Ms Werner, who was on a postgraduate bursary course student at the University of Westminster, was rushed to hospital and is critically ill in hospital.
The car's driver, an 83-year-old man, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police are examining his car and say there have not been any arrests.
They have appealed for witnesses to call them on 0208 842 1817.

Worst Timing in the World
January 17, 2012
2 days ago, on the day I marked 36 weeks of pregnancy, my two year old did not take a nap. This is the first time this has happened in recent memory – maybe ever – and I don’t like it. Not one little bit.
Our day was pretty normal that day. It was a Sunday so my husband was home with us. We spent the morning playing and acting silly, snacking and giggling. We did laundry, had lunch at our usual time, and I took Poppy into the bedroom to lay down. Just like we always do. We read our usual stories and then settled in together to pass out (as my pregnancy progresses, I join her more and more often).
An hour later, I called out for my husband to please for the love of God come get her. She’d spent that entire hour laying next to me, giggling, talking to her dolls, touching my face, and not sleeping. I managed to doze a little. Sort of. But every time I’d just start to drift off, I’d get a new toy stuck in my face.
“Mommy! Look!”
Or a little finger would suddenly poke me in the eye.
“Your eye, mommy!”
“Yes, honey. That’s my eye.” *poke poke * “Yep, that’s my other eye. Can you please go to sleep now?”
Fortunately, my husband recognized my need for real sleep and happily took the kid from the bedroom and went off to entertain her while I got a decent nap. I kept expecting them to return, her cranky or crying or showing signs of being sleepy, but they never did. When I got out of bed later that afternoon, I found them in the kitchen together, cooking up a storm and having a grand old time. That’s where we spent the rest of the day, stocking our freezer full of hearty homemade meals for those early days after Boo’s arrival.
And the kid who, until that very day, took a reliable 2.5 hour nap every single afternoon apparently decided she’s over it.
We were hoping it was just a fluke, but then yesterday – the first day of our first week home again together full-time – she did it again. Only this time, I didn’t handle it as well.
We spent the morning playing with a friend and when we got home, Poppy told me she was tired. So I carried her sleepy little self into the bedroom, laid her in bed with her best guys, and snuck out, planning to sneak back in and climb into my own bed for a nap as soon as she was unconscious. Two hours later, we’d had a lot of back and forth, I’d gone in to check on her about two dozen times, and SHE WAS STILL AWAKE.
And I was a blindsided, exhausted, hormonal pregnant mess over it.
I emailed my husband in desperation and when he responded by calling and then daring to chuckle at my misfortune, I hung up on him.
I took to Twitter, looking for attendees at my personal pity party, and found them. (Fellow Twitter moms are always great for a little empathy in your darkest moments.)
And then I went and got P from bed, plunked her on the couch in front of Curious George, loaded her up with food, and sat down in my recliner to ponder what the hell was going on.
I’ve been joking with people that our super reliable kid who thrives on routine would probably wait until the worst possible moment to throw us for a loop after Boo arrived… and now I’m wondering if I jinxed myself. Maybe this isn’t the end of her naps. It seems awfully abrupt, so perhaps it’s just a blip in routine while she works through a new developmental milestone of some sort. But maybe not.
All I know is that today I’m adjusting my expectations. After all, expectation is the key to sanity.
I woke up telling myself she is not going to sleep today.
After lunch, we’ll read some stories, lay in bed, and I’ll walk out, but I fully expect her to stay awake and just enjoy some quiet time alone for an hour. Or less. I’ll do my best to relax and unwind in that time and then I’ll go get her and we’ll proceed with our day as if this is our usual routine.
I’ve got extra coffee at the ready.
I can do this.
If you have more than one child, did you find the older kids’ routines changing as the baby’s arrival approached? Or did the chaos wait until the new baby had actually arrived? Or were you one of those lucky ones and your kids just handled it all in stride? This gets easier… right?

Goody bag FAQ
Written by ParentMap staff
Filed under: ParentMap Events
Thinking about signing up for the "goody bag" option as you register for an event? Here are a few frequently asked questions, answered! tan colored, with a brown ParentMap logo on the side.
How many bags -- and how many attendees -- can we expect at each of the events?
What type of materials can I provide.)
Who will receive the goody bags?
All families attending the event will receive a bag. ParentMap strives to provide enough bags to distribute to all families. Families can receive more than one bag if they request it. However, it is impossible to gauge exactly how many families will attend the event, so the number of bags may not exactly equal the number of families.
When do I need to submit my materials?
Where do I submit my materials?
You can send or hand deliver the materials anytime before the submittal deadline (see chart above). Please send/deliver to:
ParentMap/The UPS Store
7683 S.E. 27th St. #124

Attn: (Place Event name here) Goody Bags
What does the goody bag fee cover?
The goody bag fee is the price of additional marketing exposure for your organization. The goody bag fee ($150) helps cover the cost of the bags themselves, the labor to coordinate the bag items and to stuff the bags, and the additional time and labor to deliver and distribute the bags to the event.
How does the event program relate to the goody bags?
The event program will be handed out to all families at the event. The program includes all vendors who are in attendance at the event regardless of whether they have chosen to be a goody bag participant. The goody bags are only stuffed with vendor materials from those who have chosen the goody bag option on the event registration form.

Huge!
As fun as it looks, I think I still might be more than a little nervous riding around Paris - and I ride around San Francisco!
Do folks wear helmets there?
Coucou Buzzgirl ;)
Yes some do, but most don't. I did not hear of any accident yet.
Hey, that's great news! I'm glad people are using these things. How many stolen so far? ;)
I see white sneakers!
Monica be prepared not to come off the cloud.....I know I'm still floating from my experience and I can see there are many reasons to come back and back....
Eric thank you for my daily reminder of a wonderful holiday and the best to you on your holiday. (I especially enjoy yesterday/todays "come on baby..." she is quite the coquette.
I witnessed the success of Velib, everybody seemed to be riding it! I was tempted to try it but was a bit lazy to try to understand how the machine where you make a deposite worked.
Philly we just keep dreaming of Paris don't we?!
I would love to meet the guy who came up this idea and then saw it through. I'm sure eveyone thought he was crazy.

PARIS à bicyclette, Yves Montand l'aurait surement aimé ainsi.
Paris miss me a lot.
Comment from another Eric, another Parisian... exiled in Seoul (South Korea).
PS : Longue vie au ParisDailyPhoto !
Steve Buser, I agree. I've thought the same thing. "I'm sure they thought he (or she) was crazy!"
I can't wait to try this one day.
Well Tomate, of course people are using them. A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired!
Bikes are great. I'm glad that the experiment is a success. Have fun on your vacation.
That sounds great. In Brussels we have the same but far less expanded. I'm going to Paris this weekend so I think that I will give it a try actually.
Enjoy your vacation
Tomate, I think Velib' did the max to avoid being stolen : 1/ spare parts have a different standard than any other bike, so that it is impossible to re-use them, and 2/ the whole bike is so heavy (22 kg), that I don't think anybody would like to own one. They're OK for shorts rides (less than 1/2 hour) in Paris, but not more !
Eric, bonnes vacances !
I hope you enjoy your vacation at least half as much as we enjoy visiting your blog!
Hi Eric,
Barcelona's had a system like this for a few months now. I paid sis euros and they gave me a card that allows me use of the bikes for a year.
The scheme is so successful it has become a victim of its own success - i.e. the demand is so high that it's often difficult to find a bike - which means I end up taking the bus!
Bob
True! (I'm from BCN, too, first comment in this nice blog, hello everybody!). It's called "Bicing", it's operative from this March, and now I think they are trying to add many more bikes to satisfy the overwhelming success and demand.
Very interesting phenomenon. Maybe we'll all finaly follow the Amsterdam way of life :-)
Alex
I tried Velib 3 or 4 times already. Very simple, very usefull. I love it !
1. I always took a bike in the evening. Less cars, more bikes on the spot
2. Never take one or try to let it in a popular place. Or you must be ready to kill people.
3. Very useful when it's too late to have a subway. Less expensive than a taxi. Much more enjoyable than a night bus.
Ah so that's how it's done. Upload them all before you go then a mystery person - i'm betting Ham - will press the magic button. Glad we won't be left in the dark, Eric! Have fun.
Send us a comment (equivalent postcard) now and then if you can.
These bikes are just great but i can't see it working here in the UK, they'd just be stolen.
Interesting concept. Must be a neat way to make money.
so nice your blog, i do love paris!
greetings form brasil!
Have fun Eric!
Michael: *groan* 'nuff said.
What Soosha...you're the only one who even noticed! ;-)
....sigh......i noticed too Michael..... I did! Yes you made me groan too. Soosha and i are going to club together at Christmas to buy you a proper Big BUmper Book of Jokes. At least i think she'll be in on it with me; you need one. If not, i'll just have to save up the 50p by myself.
Ahhh man...and here I thought I was making this photo interesting. I mean really, a guy pedaling a bike... whoop-di-doo... I can do that. I mean I think I can. I mean I used to. I mean... ;-)
And while we're OFF the subject...
50p? You can find a better book than that. I'm sure I could get 50p for all of my bad jokes!
They would be stolen in the U.S., too. We can't even keep hold of our shopping carts...
Claire, I like your idea of using them after the Metro closes for the night. Also less chance of me being run over since there will be less traffic.
Michael - I love your jokes - even the tres corny ones. You are le prince des puns!
I saw a few bike stands today while I was walking around. What I don't understand is if there is a map so you know where to find other stands to drop the bike off. There is one outside our hotel so I would like to try it. Amazingly the Parisians are respectful of the bike lanes, having done a Fat Tire Tour and lived to tell the tale.
I HAD to see the stuffed rats today. What a riot! I had another flight attendant with me, and after the initial eeww's , she said to email the pdp address to her so she too, can keep up to date on Paris.. I noticed that the children saw the windows before the parents,which made me realize even more , Eric, how perceptive you are.
I'm so jet lagged, I first typed my name as PDP-CDG.
lol i knew the 50p wouldn't be lost on you Michael. Not really; i'll spend at least a pound, the jokes might be better in that book. If you're very good, i might even throw in a colouring book and some pens. x i'm only kidding you know that?
Hey PDP-CDG...you're here! Sorry I'll miss seeing you. Enjoy your "lag-time".
Thanks Pont Girl - I was beginning to get a complex!
Yes Lynn, you better be joking. I think I'm worth at least a fiver!
Hi everyone, I'm sorry I have not been much around lately, but, as you guess I'm pretty busy those days.
I have to wake up @ 6 am to pack (no I did not pack yet!) so, so long, next time I speak to you it'll be from the other side of the Atlantic (well, that is if everything goes well, of course...)
We look forward to it, Eric. It will go well, i feel it. Happy hols x
Okay then Michael a fiver no more. You'll have to come up with funnier jokes i'm afraid. lol! I'm sitting here with a glass of Californian Merlot and i'm thinking what fun it would be to have you sit on my white sofa making me laugh with your silly jokes.
Lynn: Michael would certainly make you laugh a lot, his humour never stops! I couldn't get him and my husband to stop with the jokes while I was trying to tell my Paris stories, Eric was the only one (trying) to pay attention to my conversation!
PHX-CDG you're there!!!
I remembered you one night when I saw a bunch of bikers from the Fat Tire Tour. Actually it was like a thousand bikes, I don't know where they were coming from, never saw so many bikes together and it was not La Tour de France!
Hi ! I just tried a Velib today and because it was a gloriously sunny Sunday, I was not the only one in Paris to think of our new system.
In fact yesterday I was down in the 6th along the Seine (with all the tourists) and noticed that many of the Velib stations were completely full and people had abandoned their Velib bikes, probably not knowing that it would cost dearly.
Here is the solution: once you reach your destination and the station is full, swipe your Velib or Navigo card on the station reader. It will recognize that the station is full, re-direct you to another station with empty places *and* give you another 15 minutes free !!
Now the next problem is with everyone taking a Velib to the popular neighborhoods, the nearest empty place may be some ways away. I suspect this is the case since I was in the more residential areas and many (5 or 6 stations) had no bikes left !
Good Velib-ing !
I eventually found a Vélib spot in the, | http://www.parisdailyphoto.com/2007/08/velib.html?showComment=1187047980000 | 2013-05-18T10:13:11 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Burning Paris trash...
I!
Oh yes i am! It's stunning. Look at the way the wind is blowing both the clouds and the smoke and the colours, the colours.,.....
You were lucky with this shot too Eric because the clouds really cause an interesting effect along with the smoke. Lynn's got a point.
It's not poetic as yesterday's photo but I guess it's the same in most big cities, the suburbs get to do the dirty job.
I just remembered the title of that film "Paris is burning".
I love the story of the german general that decided not to bomb the city because he realized how beautiful and important the city was, so he could not carry on with you know who crazy idea.
What a beautiful picture. I wonder how common it is in the US to burn trash. I think we mostly dump all of our garbage in land fills. But if you don't have vast amounts of space then I suppose you must do something else with it.
Wow, that is some picture Eric. I hate to admit that it is a good picture in terms of capture and effect, while at the same time thinking what a bad 'picture' that is, of how things go in the world.
And yesterday's was, indeed, magnificent!
I agree with "me," it's both a good picture and bad. Good in the sense that it's a gorgeous display of contrasting light and shadows, bad in the sense that we have to breathe in that mess.
C'est la vie.
Hi Eric, and all the best for the New Year...
It was indeed a pleasure for my wife and I to meet you last year in San Francisco, and we hope to have the pleasure sometime again.
Regarding the photo of the trash incineration, we couldn't help but wonder if the city has considered the possibility of generating energy from the trash, as does several cities, including S.F.
Regardless, it's just a thought, coming from an engineer.
We look forward to each and every photo you post, and again, all our best.
Jim & Eileen Fraser
Hey, that's a great shot!
What a great photo . I see that Naples is having a shocking time at the moment with trash left in the streets as land fill is limited.
I wonder if they will do as Paris does??
So that's why they banned smoking inside. There's plenty of smoke to go around outside.
Does anyone notice a lack of rationality here?
Now if Parisians could simply scrub the dark grey color out of their lungs the way they do off stone bridges, buildings, and monuments.
Actually, I wonder how much of that "smoke" is condensation and how much particulate matter.
How similar to the image in the posters for Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
There's a trash buildup in Naples? They should dump it in the crater of Vesuvius. It's only a matter of time before the trash would get plenty incinerated.
Hello Eric-all trash being equal-my French Prof. Dr. Bruno Chomel with UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine tells me that France is the place I need to visit for best wine drinking when I retire....do you think he is is "telling it strait"?? or is Italia the place for a very American retiree' to visit for first Europeon wine tasting experience? I'll wait for your response to book my ticket...Very truly yours...
Barbara from West Sacramento Photo of the Day...
Ah, reality--in two slim smokestacks.
I read this recently. Plus ca change?
If I didn't know the truth, I'd fantasize that the clouds were manufactured in the smokestacks. It's a fanciful photo, quite beautiful.
I love Petrea Burchard's comment and imagination. That's something we could tell a child to keep their lives innocent. "It's a cloud manufacturing plant honey". lol
It is a wonderful photo and I do like it when you mix a bit of Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe with smokestacks and, dare I say, this famous shot of yours. It gives us the total view of Paris.
Some good news I just heard was that starting June 1st, China is banning the use of plastic bags, the kind you get at supermarkets! People can still buy them, but they are banning their use from all public transportation, including buses, trains and planes and from airports and scenic locations. Not bad considering that the Chinese use up to 3 billion plastic shopping bags a day!
wow, love this photo Eric !!!
On the contrary, I much prefer this pic to the Musée d'Orsay one, it's much purer, compositionally speaking, of course. You caught great lighting there, indeed.
If you see the usual wind directions and the positions of these factories, you'll see that trash smokes go to Paris ;)
The energy produced by the trash is used for the urban heating, but a lot of fuel is necessary during the combustion :/
Hi Eric,
I am happy to see that our last discussion may have given you a little inspiration (suburbs ...) ;)
And it is, as usual, a very good choice and interesting photo.
Michael, I agree. I love the beauty of Paris, but the ugly side adds intrigue. It's a city of many parts.
The mix of pomp (or poop) and splendor are what make a city worth exploring.
This is something we must credit Eric for. He shows us the "real Paris".
Good work, Eric.
Burning our trash is probably the best way to get rid of it, and one must know that this industry is one of the most controlled in France. Regulation about its effluent limits is tighter every year.
A very interesting website is (sorry, in French only, but graphs and numbers can be understood), where you can find everything about this industry and its technologies, and also details (including details of the composition of the smoke, which is nearly 100% water vapour) about most of the 120-125 sites existing in France.
To answer Jim and Eileen's question : yes, these companies generate energy (electricity) and sell it to EDF (Electricité de France).
I'm sorry but I think Pinky is wrong : these plants need fuel, or gas, ONLY to start the fire. Once it is burning, it is "auto-fed" (sorry for my English) with the trash added permanently.
And a last point, about the colour of the smoke : it looks dark on the picture, due to the angle and the light. But in fact it is white (it is water vapour!). And it's much, much less dangerous for us, Parisians, than what we breathe in our daily traffic jams ;-)
However, I agree with most of you, this picture is showing a much less poetic Paris than the previous one !
hehehehehe Michael ;)
Mon Dieu Michael...Le "turd-on" encore??? LOL!!!
We tend to forget that every great city has smokestacks somewhere close by...and if we ever even notice them depends on how we enter or exit the city.
I guess this would be called a "reality shot"...but quite interesting actually.
Chinese love those "pink" plastic bags in SF too...but they will be "outlawed" here soon as well. It's kind of a step back, poor little old ladies with their paper bags breaking in the rain! Not good!
Always an interesting take on Paris. This takes me back to a Pink Floyd album.
Je trouve cette photo très belle. :)
Naughty Michael! I thought it was going to be the Eiffel Tower shot in the mist, but instead some brown yikes!
Now when I see clouds in France I will wonder if it's a cloud or if it's trash???
When I was in elementary school, it used to be a popular dis to say, "I don't keep trash, I burn it."
what do you mean Micheal by 'People can still buy them, but they are banning their use from all public transportation'... the bus driver will not let you in the bus if you have a pink plastic bag ...
But see, it makes for a gorgeous picture!!
Inge, as I read it, China will be banning the presence of plastic bags in certain areas, but, you can still buy them when you shop if you choose. The government also doesn't want the cost rolled into the price of goods purchased but as a separate payment. I'll ask next time I'm there to know more.
thx,good luck with your investigation ;-]
great photo!
I add to what thib said above that we also use burning trash to heat some buildings in Paris and suburbs
we have underground pipes where the steam travels, it is called Chauffage Urbain
Nice contrast between clouds (nature) and pollution (man made) in this photo. Probably one of the least glamorous shots you've taken, but I really like the composition and light contrast. What was the smell like? I suppose the internet is not ready for "scratch and sniff" yet, but I wouldn't want to smell this picture anyway.
You don't collect your own trash? How strange!
I bet that people is the suburbs are very happy.
Look what is happening in Italy...
;)
I appreciate how you show us the glorious, and the ugly, of your city.
Mari-Nanci
I've been following your blog for a while now, and I think this is my favorite shot. A trash burning facility in my region always catches my eye when the smoke billows out in front of a cloudy background. I've even taken some shots of it, but nothing so spectacular as yours since there are power lines and parking lot lights in the way.
The storm clouds in the upper right mirroring the curve of the smoke really makes your shot something special.
well it is odd that sometimes the most chilling scene has so much beauty, a lovely pic!

Nationale de l'Informatique, France, revealed on Tuesday that there were legal flaws with Google’s new policies specifically the way in which search engine giant combines and uses anonymous data from users' browsing histories across its services to better target advertising.
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, CNIL president, said "If Google does not conform in the allotted time, we will enter into the disciplinary phase". The data regulators came up with 12 recommendations for the search engine giant, which if implemented, will bring its privacy policy in compliance with EU’s requirement. One such recommendation was to better inform users about the possible use of data that is collected and for how long the data will be retained.
The French watchdog has also written an open letter to Google' Larry Page. Google believes that its privacy policy is in line with EU law but, it will examine the results of the investigation none-the-less. Google has two options to go forward. It can either negotiate with the regulators and bring about the recommended changes or challenge the recommendations.
EU-wide sanctions are probably not an option as national data protection regulators of France, Belgium and Netherlands have individually imposed fines on companies that violated the law. Google has already been at the receiving end of separate cases when it was found that its Street View cards collected unauthorized data on public WiFi networks. | http://www.paritynews.com/government/item/431-google-gets-four-months-from-eu-to-amend-privacy-policy | 2013-05-18T10:52:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Welcome to another edition of the BBA Linkfest where we travel around the world to our general chapter members and catch up on some great reading. The regular season is heading down the home stretch and our writers are tearing the roof off the joint with their excellence. Click a link, post a comment and simply enjoy yourself for the biggest, baddest and best chapter of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance.
Let's start with some of our newest chapter members. Welcome and great to have you.
Hit More Line Drives bills itself as your one stop source for hitting instruction. And true to its mission statement, the site is chock full of tasty instructional information. But they also interview young players like in this post with one of the top Texas high school prospects.
Payoff Pitch is a promising site that gives really great breakdowns of things. For example, check out their breakdown of the Dodger's huge deal with the Red Sox.
Full Spectrum Baseball has been with us for a while now and they crank out great content every day. Now this is a post idea that hasn't been done before. Dennis Lawson explores the "All Expandables Team."
Jed Rigney of Through the Fence Baseball writes that the Baltimore Orioles have had a steady date with Lady Luck.
The terrific Jason Wojciechowski of The Platoon Advantage wonders why the Dodgers would want more of Nick Coletti.
Jeremy Sickel of the Pop Fly Boys is ticked off at the Kansas City Royals about a prospect.
Totally loved this post as Old Time Family Baseball tries to get inside the head of Jhoulys Chacin on his infamous play.
MTD of Off Base Percentage apparently weathered the hurricane and wrote a happy birthday post...to himself. Yes, he is an only child. Oh! And happy birthday, ya lark.
Sam Evans of MLB Reports has a great preview of the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Several members of the great MLB Dirt staff got together to give us a rundown on September call ups we should keep an eye on. Great stuff.
Are there really PED rumors swirling around A.J. Pierzynski? That's silly and Peter Verniere of MajorLeagueAholes.com tells us why.
It has mentioned here before, but the writer of Left Field is simply delicious to read. Check out his round up of the best players of the history of the Royals for example. But his post about Pawtucket is just about the best thing this compiler has read in a long time.
Theo's retired numbers series over at Hot Corner Harbor has been terrific from beginning to now. Check out the latest.
Grubby Glove has started a new series celebrating the 1962 New York Mets. Oh, man, this series is going to be tasty.
For Baseball Junkies compares this year's Blue Jays to their all-time team, which isn't fair and that's the point.
Dugout 24 calls the Dodgers' recent spending spree, "Hollywood's Moneyball II." That's pretty funny right there.
Matt Whitener of Cheap.Seats.Please. writes about baseball's youth movement and then lists the 25 best players under the age of 25. Great read.
Mario Salvino of Che Palle! has a post about Michael Clarke Duncan and Disco Demolition Night. Potent mix there.
Lew Freedman of Call to the Pen fame writes that Brandon McCarthy is lucky to be alive. Agreed. Scary.
How far can the Nationals go without Stephen Strasburg? That is the question pondered by Christopher Carelli of The Baseball Stance.
Everyone has an opinion on the fiasco that is this year's Boston Red Sox. Here's one from Baseball Unrated.
Stevo-sama of The Baseball Enthusiast is back with another baseball game recapped. Nobody does it better.
What do you know, the author of The Ball Caps Blog is the same age as this compiler. No wonder this compiler likes him so much.
In this week's post of the week, Russ Blatt of 85% Sports went to see a game in the brand new Marlins Park and gives a thorough and enjoyable review.
Have a great week, everyone. | http://www.passion4baseball.blogspot.com/2012/09/bba-linkfest-generally-topical.html | 2013-05-18T10:41:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The fight between Drake and Chris Brown was out of control, A physical fight broke out between the two at WIP nightclub in New York City in the early hours of Thursday morning on june 14th and sources say they were fighting over Rihanna.’.
Injuries: Hollie C, a 24-year-old tourist, received 16 stitches to her head after she was hit with a flying bottle during a fight reportedly between hip hop artists Chris Brown and Drake in Manhattan five people – including Brown’s bodyguard – hospitalised after the melee.
In an earlier interview, Hollie explained she was at the club with friends early on Thursday morning and was unaware of the fight escalating around her.
‘Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head.’ she told TMZ.
I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness.’
She was then taken to Bellevue Hospital for stitches.
There have been conflicting accounts of what occurred at W.i.P in SoHo, when reportedly cutting words and gestures between Chris Brown and Drake allegedly spiraled out of control..
Big Pat, Brown’s bodyguard, was also hospitalised in the ruckus. A photo shows him laying in a hospital bed with a bloody, wound on his head..
The New York Police Department is investigating the fight. A spokesman said investigators believe Brown, his bodyguard and a woman were trying to leave when they were confronted by five members of Drake’s posse.
As they were squaring off, someone threw a bottle. Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, was not in the group that confronted Chris Brown, NYPD Lt John Grimple told MailOnline.
Police are looking at surveillance footage and talking to patrons who witnessed the fight. No arrests have been made and no complaints have been filed.
Just a day after the brawl, the bar’s owner Jonathan Cantor was arrested after out-of-control music at his other venue, Greenhouse in SoHo, the New York Post reported.

Tug of love: Rihanna, pictured in New York on Thursday, was reportedly the subject of the fight

The aftermath: Broken glass can be seen strewn across the bar following the Chris and Drake fight

Last December we first reported on Apple's possible switch from IPS to Sharp's IGZO displays for future portables and a possible HDTV. In March we followed up with a report titled "The Foxconn-Sharp Alliance is all about Apple's Coming HDTV." Today we take a brief look at a new report from Japan's Nikkei BP that discusses a new twist coming to Sharp's next generation of IGZO displays that range in size from 3.4 to 13.5 inches. With Sharp being one of Apple's iPad display suppliers, any new development is worth noting. One of the designs coming to market is a 3.4 flexible display that's illustrated in our cover graphic. Could we see any of these next-gen IGZO displays working into Apple's roadmap? Only time will tell.
Sharp's New Twist to IGZO Displays: Adding Crystallinity
According to Japan's Nikkei BP, Sharp Corp and Semiconductor Energy Laboratory announced on June 1, 2012, that they had developed an IGZO-based TFT having properties improved by adding crystallinity.
The companies expect that the TFT will be used as driver elements of LCD and OLED panels that could be used in future smartphones, tablets and other products requiring higher resolutions. Sharp plans to start volume production of an LCD panel using the new IGZO TFT within fiscal 2012.
During June's press conference, Sharp's spokesman stated that "We have established a technology to mass-produce an LCD panel with a resolution of up to 500ppi with no problem." Sharp showed off.
As for the OLED panels, Sharp showed 13.5- and 3.4-inch panels whose pixel counts are 3,840 x 2,160 and 960 x 540, respectively. Their resolutions are both 326ppi. Interestingly the 3.4-inch panel is flexible because it uses a resin substrate. For now, Sharp admitted that the OLED panels are just prototypes.
Considering that Sharp is a current iPad display supplier, it's very likely that Apple will take advantage of these next generation displays at some point in the future. The one display that may be of interest to most is the flex display – due to its futuristic design potential. Many tech companies such as Samsung, RIM and Microsoft have already applied for patents regarding flex displays of one sort or another.
Although Apple has listed flex displays as a viable option in their patent applications, they've done so in a manner of not limiting their future options. A patent targeting a product specifically using flex displays has yet to surface.
For now at least, it looks like Tim Cook has yet more options to keep Apple's iPad "Resolution" alive for many years to come.

Dr. James Charlesworth is a distinguished member of the faculty at Princeton, and a fellow United Methodist in connection with the Western N.C. Conference. Jim is a friend and I have known him for years, and asked him to do a little Q and A to help clear up some of the misconceptions about the ‘Patio’ or Talpiot B tomb. I think you will find it enlightening. It reminds us that archaeological evidence is often quite ambiguous and equally good scholars can come to different, even diametrically opposite conclusions about the same subject.
———-
Q. Professor Charlesworth you were consulted in regard to some of the apparent scripts on the Jewish ossuaries found in Talpiot Tomb B. How exactly did you come to be involved in this project?
A. First, thanks Ben for inviting me to share my thoughts for the first time. I have been cited only by Journalists who abbreviate any comment; that is their profession and right. Also, a full report will be posted this week in. I supply picture there.
When I was living in Israel in the summer of 2011, I was invited to see what had been discovered by exploring a tomb un-intrusively via a specially constructed robotic arm with cameras.
Q. Here is the quotation from the press release, in which you seem to be credited with coming up with the idea that the name Jonah appears in the stick figure (if that’s what it is) on this ossuary. .” My question is— did you first suggest this idea, or did someone suggest it to you? In other words— is this attribution of the idea to you correct?
A. The attribution to me is correct. On my web site, I show images that prove that the nun is one continuous stroke. Other images have misled some fine scholars.
Q. What is your position on the notion that Talpiot Tomb B is actually the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea?
A. I am not convinced. We know too little about this figure who looms so large in our beloved Scriptures.
I have been convinced that the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea was near the site pointed out as Golgotha since before 350 CE. It is in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher which as clearly outside the walls of Jerusalem in 30 CE, as proved by Jewish tombs in situ and with wooden roofs now (on the floor).
I think we should avoid the term “impossible.” Let us listen to any informed reflection.
Q. Do you think that the discoveries in Talpiot Tomb A or B have anything to do with the burial of Jesus of Nazareth?
A. I find that difficult to believe. My position appears in The Tomb of Jesus and His Family? Exploring Ancient Jewish Tombs Near Jerusalem’s Walls. Eds. James H. Charlesworth and Arthur C. Boulet. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2012 (expected publication date is 15 Oct 2012).
I find it difficult to imagine that Jesus’ bones would have been put in an ugly ossuary with a name that was scribbled so crudely that “Jesus, son of Joseph” would have to appear in any sophisticated work with dots over “Jesus” to signal that the name is a guess. If Jesus’ bones were still on earth one year after his resurrection, they would have been collected and honored by Jews who hailed him as the Messiah, the Christ.
Let us not forget that the great Professor Eleazar Lipa Sukenik found in a warehouse an elegant ossuary with this clear marking: “Jesus, son of Joseph.”
Those names were as popular as “John” and “James” today; moreover, we must admit to the existence of at least two men called “Jesus, son of Joseph,” as there are two separate bone boxes.
Q. Do you agree or disagree with the notion that Jews did not use ossuaries for burials after A.D. 70? What about the ossuaries at Dominus Flevit that seem to be Christian ossuaries from the second century?
A. It seem clear now that Jews ceased to use ossuaries near Jerusalem after 70 CE. Can we have a decent and informed discussion about the ossuaries at Dominus Flevit? What do we learn from them, and would preconceived ideas hinder open reflections?
Q. Various scholars have suggested that the object on the ossuary that is called a fish in the Discovery Channel special is actually a nephesh or an amphora? Why do you think it is a fish? Why do you suppose it has the peculiar orientation it does– with the apparent head of the fish pointing down to the bottom of the ossuary, since this does not seem to comport with the Jonah story or Jesus’ use of it?
A. Description:..
A Nefesh (a tomb monument that signals the “soul(s)” entombed). Looking at the image on an unpublished ossuary in Rahmani’s Catalogue of Jewish Ossuaries,??
Any attempt to enter the mind of an engraver in order to discern the intention of an “artist” borders on unsophisticated methodology, frequently speculating with unexamined presuppositions. To discern what it might mean to a viewer is another matter. Both of the attempts so far rightly assume that ossuaries exist with a drawing of a nefesh or an amphora.
A Fish. If this is a fish, it seems crudely drawn and depicted downward. It may well be a fish, if one imagines an unsophisticated attempt. The shape does seem reflective of a large fish. The head appears pointed and expands outward towards the center and then slopes inward and down to an elongated “tail.” That contour is “fishlike.” The tail seems concave like the tail of a fish; it is well drawn but the appendages are poorly indicated. Could they be a crude attempt to depict the flippers on a big fish? Had the “artist” ever seen a large fish? If this is a drawing of a big fish, where is the eye and where is the mouth? Perhaps the mouth is at the point near “the bottom,” and the eye is a barely visible circle to the left of the “mouth.” We will need better images to prove what some see as a mouth and an eye (but many images of fish have no eye).
Fish do appear on ossuaries; Rahmani reported that Ossuary 348 had a mark that “seems to represent a fish.” Is this another example of a fish and if so does it merely mean that the one whose.” Is that discussion closed?
Why has the engraver spent so much time on the lines within the spherical “bottom”? One can count at least 14 strokes. Why? What was imagined?
It is easy to dismiss the suggestion that someone tried to draw a large fish. The middle section with squares needs explanation. And one should be willing to imagine that the image is really an amphora. Staring at it for long periods can convince one it might be a crude attempt at a nefesh. But, something is intended. We should move beyond what it could possibly be and ask what is the intentionality that created this image?
All attempts have so far failed to explain why the drawing is upside down. If the Jewish engraver who made this etching had Jonah in mind, then perhaps some answers are forthcoming. According to the biblical author, Jonah was spat out by the “large fish” unto dry land (Jonah 2:11); that could be depicted by placing a fish upside down. Any other angle would mean that “Jonah” was shot into the air.
Q. Let us suppose for the sake of argument that there is a fish on that ossuary, and it does have the word Jonah on it. Would this suggest to you some connection with Jesus of Nazareth, or rather with an early Jewish Christian follower of Jesus who is in hopes of a resurrection like Jonah and Jesus’? In other words— would the symbolism be a comment on a past resurrection of the one interred, or a hoped for future resurrection of the person whose bones were in that box since the use of the Jonah image in the Roman catacombs is always about a future hoped for resurrection of the deceased?
A. Do not forget the clear inscription that I translated as referring to YHWH raising up someone.
What type of Jew would have made this inscription and the drawing?
A resurrection belief was shared by many early Jews, representing various groups or sects. As I showed in Resurrection: The Origin and Future of a Biblical Doctrine, resurrection belief means that someone who lived and has died will be raised by God to an eternal existence with God.The belief in a resurrection may be found in some Davidic Psalms, but the first lucid (or un-debatable) reference to it appears, perhaps around 200 BCE, in the Books of Enoch (1 Enoch). Then chronologically, the concept appears in Daniel 12. At Qumran, in a document probably not composed at Qumran, the belief clearly appears in On Resurrection (5Q521) and in Pseudo-Ezekiel 54Q385-388). In many works of Early Judaism the belief in a resurrection is evident, including Josephus’ compositions, the Psalms of Solomon, the Life of Adam and Eve, 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, 2 Enoch, the History of the Rechabites, the Lives of the Prophets, 1-4 Maccabees, Pseudo-Philo, the Apocryphon of Ezekiel, Pseudo-Phocylides, Sibylline Oracles, the Testament of Abraham, the Testament of Job, the Testaments of the 12 Patriarchs, the Apocryphon of Ezekiel, and the Odes of Solomon. The belief in the resurrection is also found in the Didache, the Hellenistic Synagogal Prayers, and the Amida or 18 Benedictions. According to Hippolytus (but not Josephus), the Essenes believed in the resurrection of the flesh (Haeresies 9.27).The Samaritans believe that God will summon “his creatures” so that all of them will “arise in one moment before him (Memar Markah 4.12; cf. also Yom ad-Din 26). Moreover, the concept of a bodily resurrection created and defined the Palestinian Jesus Movement; according to Paul if Jesus was not raised by God then “our proclamation is in vain and your faith is in vain” (1Cor 15:14). Without any doubt, the concept of resurrection (far more than a belief in a coming Messiah) brings into perspective the shared beliefs and hopes within Early Judaism.
Are the inscription and the drawing not to be perceived within Jewish resurrection beliefs? It is as absurd to dismiss the possibility that this tomb has some relation with the Palestinian Jesus Movement as to claim that it clearly must be labeled a “Christian” tomb. Emotions are too enflamed by such unscholarly outbursts.
Finally, we Christians do not need any proof or support for our commitment to God through Jesus Christ, but we should find inviting the enlightening reflections in windows provided by the Talpiot Patio Tomb. Through them, we may see more clearly the world that shaped the lives and beliefs of luminaries like the Righteous Teacher, Hillel, John the Baptizer, Jesus, Peter, Gamaliel, Paul, and Stephen. What are we now learning about Jewish resurrection faith before the burning of the Temple in 70 CE?

Prot.).
During the Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos, the Church chanted: “Today is the beginning of God’s good will and the proclamation of human salvation.” During that feast, through the dedication of the blessed Mary to the temple and her preparation there to become the bearer of the boundless God, the road was paved for the incarnate dispensation of God, which foretold our salvation.
During the feast of the Annunciation, when the divine conception of the Inconceivable occurred through the Holy Spirit within the womb of the Theotokos and divine nature began to coexist with human nature in order that – as St. Athanasius the Great articulated it – “we might become deified,” the Church again chanted: “Today is the beginning of our salvation and the revelation of the pre-eternal mystery; the Son of God becomes the son of the Virgin.” Thus, the “divine good will” welcomed at the Entrance, as well as the salvation commenced and revealed at the Annunciation, are today rendered a tangible reality, as we celebrate the great and holy day of Christmas. Today, “the Word assumes flesh and dwells among us” (John 1.14), while the Angels celebrate the event, chanting: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among humankind.” (Luke 2.14)
With the Incarnation of the Divine Word, the salvation of the human race has already potentially occurred. For those who believe in Jesus, live in accordance with this faith, fulfilling His commandments and practicing His teaching, are thereby elevated to become the friends and participants of God! They become “partakers of divine nature” (2 Peter 1.14), gods by grace! This takes place exclusively within the Church, where we are reborn in Christ and adopted by the Father through Holy Baptism and through the holy Sacraments, as well as by cultivation of virtue in order to be filled with divine grace and the Holy Spirit, growing “to maturity, to the measure o the full stature of Christ” (Eph. 4.13) until we reach the level of saying, like St. Paul: “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” (Gal. 2.20) Those who acquire such perfection are not regarded by Christ simply as His friends or brothers, but are recognized by Him as members of His Body. This is why, from the height of the Cross, he would say to His Most Holy Mother about the Evangelist John: “Woman, here is your son,” and to John: “Here is your mother.” (John 19.26-27) Christmas, therefore, opens wide the door of human “christification” and deification by grace; and for this reason, “the entire creation rejoices in celebration and the heavens delight with us” on this day of significance and salvation.” (Hymn of December 28)
With these joyful and hopeful realities before us, from the sacred See of the Ecumenical Patriarchate at the Phanar, we extend to you our fervent festive congratulations and wholehearted Patriarch wishes on this central feast of the Christian calendar. We greet all of our beloved faithful throughout the world, the beloved children of the holy Mother Church – clergy of all levels, monastics and laity, pastors and parishioners, and especially those suffering, experiencing sorrow, need or trial. May the pre-eternal Son of God – who was born in a cave and lay in a manger – who for our sake became Son of Man, render all of us worthy of his self-emptying love and of His sacred, venerable incarnate dispensation.

There are two dynamic/game changing OLB prospects in this draft: Robert Quinn (North Carolina) and Aldon Smith (Missouri). And as I believe that these two players will be snatched up by pick #11, the Pats are going to have to move up in order to grab one. One way to do this is to trade #17 and #60. However, I believe there is another move to be made to facilitate this move and one in which I think will be more fiscally prudent. This involves trading Logan Mankins.
As much as I like Logan Mankins, I keep coming to the same conclusion. Paying $8 million for any guard is too much. What’s going to happen when Vollmer is a free agent? Who knows how much he’s going to want and he’s a tackle. Therefore, I was thinking about possible trades and trade partners for the Pats in this situation. The team that seems to make the most sense need wise and has both the financial and draft resources to pull of a trade for Mankins is Dallas. They could definitely use help on their offensive line. Here is my proposed trade.
Dallas acquires: Logan Mankins and the #17 pick in the draft
New England acquires: Picks #9 and #40
In essence, Dallas is just moving down a few slots in the first round and giving up a second rounder for a proven veteran All-Pro. The Pats in turn move up in the draft and are able to draft Aldon Smith – the much coveted difference making OLB – that they desperately need – and also pick up a valuable 2nd rounder to help draft a replacement for Mankins.
Now, I wish that I could say that is the end of my new draft scenario, but I would be lying. There are still some more moves that I mapped out. I hope you have the patience to continue reading….if not today maybe you can break it up in a couple days worth of reading. Anyway, here goes.
Pick # Player Name School Position Height/Weight
9 Aldon Smith Missouri OLB 6-4, 260
- This pick acquired in the Logan Mankins trade with Dallas
- Smith would give the Pats the dangerous pass rusher that they desperately need
25 Gabe Carimi Wisconsin OT/OG 6-7, 315
- The Pats trade pick #33 and pick #92 with Seattle for this pick (#25)
- Carimi would probably kick inside to help replace Mankins at first, but would eventually take over at RT for Vollmer who would then switch to LT when Matt Light retires
28 Cam Heyward Ohio State DE 6-5, 290
- Heyward would give them their best option at RDE since Seymour left.
35 Muhhamad Wilkerson Temple DE 6-5, 305
- The Pats trade pick #40 along with their 5th & 6th round picks with Cleveland for this pick (#35)
- Wilkerson would add to the D-Line rotation and would likely replace Ty Warren in a couple of years.
60 John Moffit Wisconsin OG/C 6-4, 314
- Moffit gives the Pats line versatility. He could play OG to start and possibly be groomed as the Center of the future.
74 Greg Romeus Pittsburgh OLB 6-6, 270
- You can never have enough good OLB’s. Romeus who is coming off back surgery might have to be placed on the PUP list, but that’s fine. His potential would be too hard to pass up at this point.
4th Rd James Brewer Indiana OT/OG 6-6, 323
- A tackle in college with nimble feet who could kick inside to guard
After all is said and done here, the Pats would have added two stud OLB’s, two DE’s, immediate help for the interior of the offensive line and future starters at OT and possibly C.
Now, you might want to know why I didn’t address their RB situation. I have a strong feeling that Belichick will do that via free agency. I think they’re going to sign Pierre Thomas to a reasonably fair contract for three years or so. There were reports during the season that the Pats attempted to trade for him at the trading deadline. I just figure that if they liked him then, they probably still do.

Hey Big_Guy21,
the admin script (running at startup) could help to overcome this until AOWC fixes it.

I'm having problems streaming, never had issues in the past with CoD2, CoD4 but BFBC2 just isn't working.
I've tried the webtool and even though it reports back as done & ok, it still wont stream. Tried the direct console tool scripts & entered all the commands separately and still not streaming. The pb_sv_uconlist reported NO entries after all the commands, so knew it wasn't going to work.
I've also done manual placing of files via Clanforge (yes Multiplay customer) and still not working, yet I've used the same method with Clanforge as I have done with COD2 & CoD4.
So it must be a GSP Side problem, well hopefully

Also be sure your using Webtool v1.26 or later since it checks to see if pb is enabled.
Try this:
There is a bug in the Events Console that cuts off multi-line data. So in the case of uconlist only the headers get returned. Because of this bug Webtool doesn't check the pb results. That will be added when the Events are fixed on the server side.

All Bad Company 2 servers have just been patched with server R4. DICE is aware of a number of issues including crash problems which are effecting the current builds and are working hard to fix the problems, this update is the first step towards that

Strange they aren't the same. If that doesn't work the only other thing I can think of is that you don't have a pbucon.use file.

If you don't have access to any files to even look at what's there I would guess you would have no way of checking... and I'm pretty sure you need the pbucon.use file as this is what is used to connect with the PBBans hub as far as I know.
Have you tried setting it up using the webtool?
I know using that fixed issues I was having on a BF2142 server before.

BOSTON – Single-family home sales in Bristol County, Mass., rose 17.43 percent compared with the same period in 2011, The Warren Group said Tuesday.
There were 256 single-family properties sold in Bristol County in May compared with 218 last May.
The median sale price declined 2.34 percent to $230,000 from $235,500 in May 2011.
Statewide, Massachusetts single-family home sales jumped 34.63 percent in May compared with the same period last year, as the median sale price dropped 3.35 percent.
The Massachusetts median single-family home sale price in April was $289,950.
“The spring market has been especially strong in Massachusetts,” Cory S. Hopkins, editorial director of The Warren Group, said in a release. “We’re expecting home sales to continue to soar this summer, thanks to low mortgage rates and affordable prices luring buyers into the market.”
“Prices are continuing to drop, indicating buyers are in the driver’s seat, and making good deals,” added Hopkins. “For the second month in a row, the price of a single-family home is less than a condominium, a reflection of low inventory in the condo market and a number of less expensive single-family homes coming on the market in recent months.”
Statewide condominium sales grew 50.84 percent in May from May 2011, while the median price increased 0.61 percent to $290,000.
Conversely, Bristol County’s condominium sales plunged 59.6 percent year over year in May. The median condominium sales price in Bristol County dropped 26 percent year-over-year in May to $103,567. | http://www.pbn.com/Home-sales-in-Bristol-County-Mass-rise-17-in-May,68601?category_id=61&list_type=featured&sub_type=stories,packages | 2013-05-18T10:24:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

PROVIDENCE – The percentage of “underwater homes” in the Providence-New Bedford-Fall River area dropped one-tenth of a percentage point to 20.8 percent in the third quarter of the year, according to data released by CoreLogic this week.
The California-based real estate tracking firm said 72,305 area homes had outstanding mortgages worth more than the property itself in the third quarter, down from 72,801 in the second quarter.
An additional 13,309 properties, or 3.8 percent, were in “near negative equity” CoreLogic said.
Rhode Island’s rate of underwater homeowners for the quarter came in just below the national average of 22.1 percent.
Rhode Island had the 14th highest underwater rate of any state, with Nevada leading the way at 58 percent negative equity.
“Although slightly down, negative equity remains very high and renders many borrowers vulnerable when negative economic shocks occur, such as job loss or illness, said Mark Fleming, chief economist with CoreLogic. “The nearly $700 billion mortgage debt overhang has touched many corners of the market, and this overhang is holding back the recovery of the housing market and broader economy." | http://www.pbn.com/Underwater-Providence-area-homes-fall,62918?category_id=78&sub_type=stories,packages | 2013-05-18T11:05:50 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The lighting of the 100-foot Christmas tree in Old School Square in Delray Beach has become a tradition for many families. Here is why you should go see it this Thursday night.
Tons of entertainment. From 5-7 p.m. and 7:30-9:30 p.m., performances by students from local schools are planned. At 9:30 p.m., country singer Lizzie Sider of Boca Raton — whose first single, “Butterfly,” was recently released to radio — performs to close the show. This young lady is the real deal. She’s a solid singer, but also a gifted song-writer.
The lighting of the tree. The 10-story walk-through centerpiece has 3,000 branches, more than 15,000 LED lights, 39,000 ornaments, and a 18-foot star that is visible for miles. Its buildings have animated scenes of elves working, penguins playing and a huge model train layout. Santa lights the tree at 7:15, with the help of Channel 12 News anchor Suzanne Boyd, a Delray Beach resident.
More than just standing around. Sure, you’ll spend time watching the performers, gazing at the tree and waiting to see the guy with the white beard, but kids can also ride the carousel and go ice skating.
Santa, of course. He may come by sleigh up north, but in sunny South Florida, Santa arrives in the CBS Sky 12 helicopter. He’ll touch down at 7 p.m. on the Great Lawn. Kids can visit Santa in his house from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Get a commemorative photo for $10. Fast pass tickets to see Santa are $20. Only 5 will be issued per hour.
Artists exhibits, live music and demos. The fun continues On The Ave — along Atlantic Avenue — from 6 to 10 p.m. An art exhibition by Pineapple Grove’s own Artists Alley residents is planned. Support Forgotten Soldiers Outreach offers a tasty treat in their S’mores roasting area. The Miami Ice Man will be sculpting in ice, live. Music by Anna Haas, Amber Leigh, Ron Bivona and Rogue Set is also planned.
Can’t make the tree lighting? The 100-foot Christmas Tree is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Jan. 1. It opens late at 1 p.m. on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Suggested donation: $1.
If you go:
What: The Delray Beach 100-foot Christmas Tree Lighting
When: 5-10 p.m. Thursday
Where: Old School Square’s front lawn, 51 S. Swinton Ave., Delray Beach.

General Article: LegacyOther General Articles
Richard Nixon served one full presidential term and less than half of another before he resigned in disgrace on August 8, 1974, a victim of his own paranoid obsession with his enemies. For many Americans, the word Watergate serves as convenient if insufficient shorthand for an administration tainted by scandal, haunted by war, and marked by creative initiatives in both foreign and domestic policy.
When Nixon took office in 1969, the America's involvement in the war in Vietnam had been going on for nearly five years. Over 30,000 Americas had died, and a vocal contingent of citizens at home had taken to the streets to demand peace. Nixon optimistically predicted that a satisfactory truce would come in time for the Congressional elections of 1970, but his policy of Vietnamization, or gradual withdrawal of American troops, foundered when South Vietnam failed to hold up its end of the fighting.
Nixon managed to end the war not in 1970, but in early 1973. By then, 25,000 more American soldiers had died, and Nixon's chance to earn the title of peacemaker had evaporated. Although Nixon withdrew American troops steadily from the time he took office, he had also extended the war into Cambodia and Laos. In the minds of many, Vietnam would always be Richard Nixon's war.
The Vietnam tragedy often overshadows Richard Nixon's greatest diplomatic achievement -- the opening of the People's Republic of China to the West. In the spring of 1972, Nixon became the first U.S. president to visit Communist China. Although Nixon and Chinese premier Chou-en-Lai signed no binding agreements, the summit marked the beginning of a new relationship between the United States and the People's Republic. Just months after the China summit, Nixon visited the Soviet Union, where he and premier Leonid Brezhnev signed the first ever agreements on nuclear weapons control.
Although he relished his role as an international diplomat, Nixon worked to create a more responsive, more efficient system of government at home. His calls for a "New Federalism," -- a movement of money and power away from the federal government and toward states and municipalities -- resulted in the creation of numerous local initiatives. Revenue sharing, one of the most popular New Federalist reforms, sent $83 billion in matching funds to states and municipalities from its passage in 1972 until it was killed by Ronald Reagan in 1986.
An advocate of "practical.
Sadly, Nixon's long-standing distrust of the media precipitated criminal behavior on his part which crippled, then destroyed his administration and his political career. In an effort to stop potentially damaging press leaks and help ensure his re-election, Nixon created a domestic espionage network. Members of this network, working for the Committee to Re-Elect the President, were caught in a burglary of Democratic National Committee Headquarters at Washington's Watergate Hotel on June 17, 1972. Fearful that revelation of the scandal would damage his re-election bid, Nixon ordered a cover-up of CREEP's White House connections.
In one of the most dramatic media events of the 20th century, the Watergate conspiracy unfolded. Despite contrary public testimony by his closest aides, Nixon repeatedly denied any connection to Watergate -- in the end dramatic tape recordings the president had made himself provided irrefutable evidence of his role in the cover-up. Under threat of impeachment, Nixon became the first American president ever to resign.
By the time of his death in 1994, Richard Nixon's reputation had undergone minor rehabilitation, mostly due to his continued activity in the field of international diplomacy. Still, the pall of Watergate and the war remained, and many of his creative foreign and domestic enterprises would be all but forgotten. Nixon died not famous but infamous, an icon of American political tragedy.
Even after his death, Nixon continued to make headlines. In 1997, 201 hours of newly released tapes spawned countless articles on Nixon and his White House. Unfortunately, the tapes confirmed the worst suspicions many had about the Watergate break-in and cover? | http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/general-article/nixon-legacy/?flavour=full | 2013-05-18T10:12:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Charles Haas on: The "Times Square of the North Atlantic"
Q: Q: Tell me about that intersection off Nantucket line and why that is considered such a dangerous place?
CH: Contrary to popular belief, ocean liners did not travel any which way they wanted to across the Atlantic Ocean. They actually traveled in tracks or routes which were established by international convention and by agreement between the various steamship companies. Now the ships that were bound to and from Scandinavia crossed in a certain route. And those that were coming from the northern European ports, such as Germany, Ireland and England also had a set of tracks. And finally there was another set of tracks that took them across the ocean into the Mediterranean. And interestingly enough, all of these routes tend to converge right near the Massachusetts, New England Coast. So one writer actually called it the "Times Square of the North Atlantic" because you literally have ships coming and going from multiple directions and because of the nature of the geographyof the American East Coast, this area basically was the place where all these routes converged. And there was only about a thirty-mile gap between the eastbound and the west bound routes, which then fan out to these other destinations once clear of the American Coast. So there's a real crunch spot, if you will, right off Nantucket and that's one of the reasons why the Nantucket light vessel was actually stationed there. That was to ensure that everybody had an accurate position as they headed in towards the American mainland.
Q: Tell me about fog generally and how captains viewed it in particular and what they had to do when they encountered it?
CH: Long before the advent of radar, I think fog was perhaps the single thing that mariners dreaded the most. Within a matter of moments, particularly in the area off of New England and out into the Atlantic, you could go from a beautiful cloudless day into something that prevented you from even seeing the bow of your own ship. When you go through the insurance records, you discover case after case after case of ships running one another down in fog, running into one another, running over small fishing vessels that happen to be in the way. Fog is a very difficult thing from several standpoints. In the absence of radar many mariners actually developed a sort of a sixth sense and it's difficult to explain exactly what it was but it was borne out of many years of North Atlantic experience. And this sixth sense literally rescued, in some cases, ships from getting into collisions. You have captains just feeling that something was wrong and making a course correction and lo and behold there's, the ship that they almost hit.
There was, of course, a series of regulations that dealt with speed and also with sounding your whistle, your foghorn during heavy fog. And even that was a real problem because fog changes the direction of the sound. It could actually serve as a blanket or a smothering agent or a dispersing agent so that although two ships might be approaching one another and they both sound their whistles, the fog can actually cause the perception of the sound to change in this direction. So literally you had to hope that, by posting extra lookouts in the crow's nest and sometimes posting additional lookouts down on the main deck of the ship, that mechanism would hopefully detect the bulk of the ship in front of you before you actually hit it. And this was again supplemented by the lookout sense of hearing as well as their sense of sight. But it was almost playing blindman's bluff off the coast. It was very very dangerous and theoretically you would think that they would slow down to a crawl. But there was always a commercial pressure to make the best possible passage and although there was some speed reduction with heavy fog, the pressure was there to try to maintain as much of a speed as you could. Because, quite frankly, people were paying you good money to keep to a schedule and if you routinely stopped or slowed down every time fog enveloped your ship then your schedule would be shot to ribbons and people wouldn't patronize you anymore. So although there were company regulations and regulations through international agreement that said that you had to reduce speed in fog, in practice very few captains ever did.

Iran Primer: The Revolutionary Guards
by ALIREZA NADER
21 Oct 2010 21:345 Comments. Khamenei relied on the Guards to buttress his declining authority and to block political reform. As guarantor of the revolution's core principles, the IRGC played a key role in marginalizing reformist and pragmatic conservative factions seen to challenge those principles.
Military and security role
The IRGC has played an important role in suppressing groups that opposed Khomeini's objectives, such as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) Organization. The MEK, a leftist group founded in the 1960s, backed the revolution but then split from the theocrats; it was the largest Iranian opposition group until the 2009 election spawned the Green Movement. The Guards were also responsible for putting down various leftist and ethnic insurgencies that broke out after the revolution.
Iraq's 1980 invasion of Iran actually proved to be a boon for Khomeini and the Guards, as it helped unite the nation around the new regime and bolstered the Guards as Iran's premier military force. The Artesh was the shah's main prop; they were also trained and supplied by the Unites States, so were viewed with suspicion by the regime. The Guards, loyal to velayat-e faqih, took the lead in repelling Iraq, although their involvement may have actually prolonged the conflict because of their ideological commitment and lack of military experience. Nevertheless, the Guards' role in Iran's so-called "holy defense" against Iraq has been used over the years to burnish their credentials as defender of the revolution and the nation.
The Guards forces now number up to 150,000 men divided into land, sea and air forces. The IRGC land forces are estimated to number between 100,000 and 125,000. The IRGC's navy may total as many as 20,000, though some estimates are significantly lower. Another 20,000 are in the IRGC naval forces. And the Qods Force totals around 5,000. The Basij militia, which is subordinate to the Guards, can also mobilize hundreds of thousands of its members to defend Iran against a foreign invasion.
The Guards are also in charge of executing Iran's strategy of asymmetric warfare in the event of a U.S. or Israeli attack..
The Guards have also developed an asymmetric naval strategy for use against the U.S. Navy, which has a superior conventional force. The Guards have hundreds of fast attack boats, anti-ship cruise missiles, and naval mines. Together they impede U.S. operations in the Gulf, disrupt shipping, and impose a painful cost on U.S. forces in the event of an armed conflict. The Guards also operate hundreds of ballistic missiles that can target U.S. forces stationed in Gulf Cooperation Council countries, in addition to Israel and beyond.
The Guards are also Iran's most powerful internal security force, at times cooperating and competing with the ministry of intelligence and other security organizations. The Guards' intelligence organization appears to have eclipsed the ministry of intelligence in scope and authority, especially after the disputed 2009 presidential election. Other security organizations such as the Basij and the Law Enforcement Forces have become subordinate to the Guards.
Economic giant
The Guards' involvement in the Iranian economy began during Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's presidency. Reconstruction of Iran's economy, battered by nearly ten years of war and revolution, was one of his major priorities. The IRGC had the manpower to engage in reconstruction activities. Rafsanjani may have also hoped to co-opt the Guards by giving them a slice of the economic pie.
Over the next 20 years, however, the Guards became Iran's largest economic force. The Guards currently dominate most sectors of the economy, from energy to construction, telecommunication to auto making, and even banking and finance. Khatam al Anabia (the Seal of the Prophets), the Guards' construction headquarters, is involved in much of the Guards' official economic activities. But the IRGC is also linked to dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of companies that appear to be private in nature but are run by IRGC veterans. So the Guards' economic influence activities encompass a broad network of current and former members rather than a single official or centrally administered organization.
The IRGC has taken advantage of its national security authority to extend its control. The Guards prevented a Turkish company from building the Imam Khomeini international airport in 2004 on national security grounds. The takeover of the Telecommunications Company of Iran by a Guards-affiliated consortium in 2009 may have also been motivated by security concerns, especially after the presidential election and subsequent unrest.
The Guards have arguably benefitted from international sanctions and Iran's isolation, which hurt their domestic and foreign business competitors by increasing business costs. The IRGC's ability to tap into state funds and its relatively vast independent resources have provided a decisive advantage. Under Ahmadinejad, the Guards have been awarded hundreds of no-bid government contracts in addition to billions of dollars in loans for construction, infrastructure and energy projects. The Guards reported involvement in illicit economic activities may also cushion them from the full effects of sanctions. Ironically, tougher sanctions would undoubtedly further damage Iran's economy, but they may actually strengthen the very force driving national security policies, including the nuclear program.
Political role
One of the key issues dividing reformist and conservative factions has been the role of the Guards in Iranian politics. Reformists and even some conservatives contend that Khomeini explicitly forbid the Guards' involvement in politics. The Guards, they argue, were established only to protect the regime. The Guards' political ascent began during the presidency of Mohammad Khatami between 1997 and 2005. Khatami and his supporters envisioned a series of political, social, and economic reforms to make the Islamic Republic a more "modern" Islamic system. But the reformist agenda threatened the conservative ideology, political power and ideological authority of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who succeeded Khomeini in 1989. Reformist intellectuals questioned Khamenei's leadership, and even the efficacy of having a supreme leader. Khamenei viewed the Guards as an effective bulwark against the reformist agenda.
The Guards' rank and file has historically reflected Iranian society and politics at large. Many Guards members supported Khatami in 1995 and Mir Hossein Mousavi in 2009. Nevertheless, the Guards' top leadership is comprised of conservatives and "principlists" deeply opposed to political reforms. The IRGC leadership's opposition to Khatami's reforms was manifested in the "chain murder" of reform intellectuals. The Guards also wrote a letter to Khatami threatening a coup d'etat if he did not rein in the 1999 student demonstrations.
The 2005 election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a former Revolutionary Guard and a "principlist," could not have been possible without the active support of Khamenei and the Guards. Allegations of fraud and ballot-stuffing by the Guards and Basij surrounded Ahmadinejad's victory over Rafsanjani. After the election, Ahmadinejad awarded the IRGC even more government loans and contracts. Guard members also won increasing control of Iran's internal and national security organizations. IRGC ideologues loyal to Ahmadinejad and the political status quo were also appointed to replace reformists, pragmatic conservatives and technocrats in the bureaucracy.
The 2009 presidential election confirmed the Guards' role as Iran's preeminent power broker, after the supreme leader. Senior Guards officials indicated they would not tolerate a reformist such as former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi, Ahmadinejad's leading opponent. Interior Minister Sadegh Mahsouli, a former Guards officer turned businessman who was responsible for supervising the election, played a crucial role in Ahmadinejad's re-election. And after the disputed poll, the Guards were in charge of crushing the mass protests that flared for six months. The reformists and Green Movement accused the Guards of conducting a coup.
But the Guards are not a united or monolithic force. And not all IRGC members are ideologues. Many respect Mousavi, who was prime minister in the 1980s, for his devotion to the revolution and his conduct during the Iran-Iraq War. Some Guards have also reportedly been disappointed with Ahmadinejad -- and even Khamenei -- because of the post-election suppression of dissent. Nevertheless, the symbiotic relationship between Khamenei and the top echelon of the Guards is likely to ensure the IRGC's role as enforcer of the status quo and the principles of the revolution.
The future
* The Guards' and so-called principlists' domination of the regime after the 2009 election may result in more belligerent Iranian foreign and domestic policies, especially on the nuclear issue.
* The Guards may be able to maintain the political status quo if they remain a unified force. However, they face internal divisions, which could potentially weaken Khamenei's hand in a moment of crisis.
* The Guards' involvement in the business world may erode its credibility to the extent that it will not be able to function as an effective security or military force in the future..

A great piece, however I wish the author had addressed the question IRGC involvement in economic activities. It does not seem that reformists were against it. Is it possible that all administrations were in favor of IRGC role in the economy as a way to control its political ambitions?Ali / October 21, 2010 6:29 PM
Decidedly skewed perspective on the IRGC.
No attention given whatsoever to IRGC operations against the soft war coup and soft war threats being applied to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
And I must remind the author that at least half of the IRGC rank and file, as well as leadership, voted for reformist President Khatami, which contradicts some of the assertions put forward in this piece.Pirouz / October 21, 2010 6:43 PM
Pirouz, do you even read these articles before you launch your consistently contrary and egotistical comments?
Shouldn't you be torturing a political prisoner right now?Bahman / October 22, 2010 3:48 AM
Pirouz, if I am right which I think I am, a basiji wanna be such as you should change his name to a more traditional Islamic name. If you want let me know to provide you with some suggestions.Anonymous / October 22, 2010 8:58 PM

Portable multimedia and gaming device that is well designed and easy to use. The 4.3-inch widescreen TFT LCD is simply beautiful. Built-in Wi-Fi for playing games against friends (or enemies).
The PSP is an elegant portable device that excels at playing games and is a good music player, video player, and photo viewer. Regrettably, Sony continues to rely on propriety removable media formats to deliver the.
Once you get past the long load times, playing games is a treat. Controls are where they should be, and they are responsive. Graphics seem pretty close to PlayStation 2 quality (the obvious difference being that you play on a small screen instead of a big TV). Best of all, like its set-top stablemate, the selection of games for the PSP (two dozen at launch and counting) is enticing.
The PSP offers built-in 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless LAN access. You can play against another PSP over a wireless LAN or the Internet. Up to 16 PSPs can also be connected to one another directly in ad hoc mode for head-to-head contests. You can count on a whole PSP party subculture to pop up as the device becomes widespread.
While gaming is clearly the focus, Sony designed the PSP to be a portable multimedia device, too. There is a Memory Stick Duo card slot for storing music, photo, and video files, as well as a USB 2.0 port (though no cable) for downloading multimedia files from your PC. Games come on Sony's new, proprietary Universal Media Disk (UMD) minicartridges, which can also house movie and TV content. Look for the first UMD titles (Spider-man 2, Hellboy, Resident Evil 2, House of Flying Daggers, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico) to hit stores about a month after the PSP's March 24 launch. The PSP Value Pack, which we looked at, will ship with a UMD version of Spiderman 2, the aforementioned 32MB Memory Stick, a headphone-remote combo, wrist strap, battery pack, soft case and a sampler disk that includes movies clips, music and trial games..
Although it's not perfect, the PSP is an innovative portable device built for games. If you view the multimedia features as gravy, you'll be more than satisfied.

9 Cool (and Useful) Mods for iPods and iTunes
Your iPod is more like a miniature computer than you might think. After all, it has a screen, keys, storage, and an operating system. And just as with any PC, you can add new features, overhaul the OS, update the interface, and personalize it to your heart's content.
While you're at it, why not fill it with content from the Internet and with movies ripped from your own DVDs? And hey, why shouldn't you be able to copy your tunes off the player anytime you want? You can do all of that and more with these cool iPod hacks. They're free, harmless (meaning that you can reverse or undo any of them without hosing your player), and guaranteed to help you get more fun and function out of your iPod. (We'll identify which generations of iPod each hack works with. To determine which generation you have, consult this list.)
And since most iPods communicate with a copy of iTunes, we've thrown in a couple of hacks to make that program work the way you want it to.
Copy Music From Your iPod
Compatible with: All iPods
To get started, connect your iPod and make sure that it's enabled for use as an external drive (check the setting in iTunes if you're not sure--go to the Summary tab when the iPod is selected); then run the iPod Folder program. Click the iPod icon and choose the appropriate drive letter for your player. Next, click the folder and choose the desired destination for your music. Finally, enable any options you want, such as Include iPod Folder Structure or MP3 Files Only (the latter is helpful if you don't want to copy DRM-protected AAC files). Click the arrow to begin the copying process.

Carry Wikipedia on Your iPod
Compatible with: Pre-fifth-generation iPods (not including Nanos)
All you need is the free Encyclopodia viewer, the also-free Wikipedia e-book files (available in English, German, and Italian), and a pre-fifth-generation iPod (not a Nano). iPhone and iPod touch users can access the living Wikipedia in their devices' Web browsers, of course.

Install the program, and then run it by clicking Start, iTunes Folder Watch, iTunes Folder Watch (Background Monitoring). This series of commands will launch iTunes, create an iTFW New Tracks playlist, and add a new icon to your System Tray. Right-click the System Tray, click Open, and add one or more folders to watch for new tunes. Click the Check Now button, and iTFW will scan for tracks not already included in your iTunes library. If it finds any, you'll see them listed in the New Tracks tab. One more click will whisk the songs straight into iTunes, where you can easily copy them from the New Tracks playlist to whatever playlists you want.
Sync iTunes With Your Non-iPod Player
Compatible with: Any player that has a drive letter. | http://www.pcworld.com/article/142300/mods_for_ipods_and_itunes.html?page=0 | 2013-05-18T10:24:43 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Twitter: A Growing Security Minefield
In June, the world watched as tweets from the streets of Tehran flooded Twitter. Frequent Twitter users--and people who hadn't even heard of the microblogging service--were suddenly and simultaneously witnessing its potential.
At the same time, antivirus vendors were warning of new phishing attacks that spread via Twitter. Using Twitter accounts, phishers would follow users and then infect them via a link to a fake profile page laden with malware. Like instant messaging, MySpace, and Facebook before it, Twitter had come of age., cofounder Biz Stone wrote on the company blog, "Twitter takes security very seriously and we will be following up on all fronts."
Shortened-URL Dangers
Parallel to the growth of Twitter is the expansion of URL-shortening services. Fitting your thoughts into 140 characters takes practice; including full URLs is almost impossible. Usually URLs have to be truncated through services such as Bit.ly and TinyURL.com, which also mask the true destination URL and can present their own security problems as a result. to disclose a new Twitter vulnerability each day. Citing previous efforts focused on browsers and on Apple Mac OS vulnerabilities, Raff says his goal is not to break Twitter but to improve it and to address all social networking flaws: "I hope that Twitter and other Web 2.0 API providers will work closely with their API consumers to develop more secure products." The first disclosed Twitter bug concerned cross-site scripting flaws in Bit.ly. Within hours of the disclosure, Bit.ly corrected them.
Follow Me, Please
A frequent goal of Twitterers is to build an audience; some people rate their profile a success if it has hundreds or even thousands of followers. A site called TwitterCut advertised that it would dramatically increase your base of followers--if you gave it your user name and password. Most security vendors deemed it a pay-per-click scam.
People who fell for the scam saw their Twitter accounts later used in the "Best Video" phishing attack, in which anyone who visited a link in the tweet wound up downloading a malicious PDF that then attempted to install a fake security product if the PC lacked the latest Adobe security update.
Gone Phishing
Most Twitter phishing attempts, however, are more straightforward. Twitter routinely notifies users of recent followers by info--especially if you are already logged in to Twitter.
Bad guys have tried more-subtle tactics, too, such as the porn-name game. According to the game, to create the name you'll use during your adult-film career, you take the name of your first pet and combine it with the street you grew up on, your mother's maiden name, or the model of your car.." | http://www.pcworld.com/article/168859/twitter_security.html | 2013-05-18T10:22:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Top 7 Ultrathin Windows Laptops: Alternatives to Apple's MacBook Air
Products mentioned in this article
- Apple MacBook Air (Late 2010) family
- Samsung Series 9 $1,499.99(Lowest Price)
LG P530
Advantages: The thin LG P530--which looks much like its sibling the LG 430--has a 15.6-inch display yet somehow manages to weigh less than conventional 14-inch laptops do. Like its 14-inch sibling, the P530's advantages include more memory, a built-in DVD multi-drive, and four times the video memory with the Nvidia graphics card.
Disadvantages: With a laptop of this screen size, you'll have to sacrifice a bit of mobility, as the P530 is about 0.4 inch thicker than the Air and weighs nearly 2 pounds more. And yet again, the MacBook Air has a higher display resolution (1440 by 900 pixels versus the P530's 1366 by 768 pixels).
Note: The P530, like the P430 (see the previous page), is expected to be available in May and June 2011, starting in markets outside North America.
LG P530/MacBook Air comparison
Dell Adamo-Like Mystery Ultrathin
Disadvantages: Dell discontinued its earlier MacBook Air look-alike, the Adamo, after a poor reception. If the new mystery ultrathin shares any of the Adamo's drawbacks (high price, underwhelming performance), it will suffer the same fate.
Note: Dell has not yet officially announced this MacBook Air challenger as of this writing, but we expect the company to introduce the laptop sometime in late spring or early summer.

Which Specs Matter Most to You?
If you want a laptop that's:
- Most similar to the MacBook Air in size, weight, and price, buy the Samsung Series 9
- The least expensive option, buy the MSI X-Slim X370
- Built for business, buy the Toshiba R830 (business model) or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1
If you want a laptop that has a:
- Built-in DVD multi-drive, buy the Toshiba R830 or the LG P430
- Backlit keyboard, buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X1, the LG P430, or the Samsung Series 9
- Solid-state drive, buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 or the Toshiba R830 (business model)
- Larger amount of memory (up to 8GB), buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 or the LG P430
- Larger screen size, buy the LG P430 (or the 15.6-inch LG P530)
- Discrete graphics processor, buy the LG P430

The PSU Institute for Asian Studies and First Saturday East Asian Program Committee present -
Charles Lachman, Ph.D.; Head of the Dept. of History of Art & Architecture, University of Oregon
Folding Screens of East Asia: Multiple meanings, multiple uses
Saturday, February 2, 2013 @ 9:30 AM
PSU Urban Building, room 250 (506 SW Mill St.)
This event complements the reinstallation of a recently conserved Korean Chosen Dynasty screen on view later in February 2013 at the Portland Art Museum.
Charles Lachman, PhD, will provide a historical perspective of the evolution of painted folding screens in China, Korea and Japan; their pictorial traditions and practices that charterize this unique artistic format.
Dr. Lachman is the former Curator of Asian Art at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum and is the Director of Graduate Studies and Head of the Dept. of History of Art and Architecture at the University of Oregon. His research and teaching interests include the history of Chinese landscape painting, Chinese art theory, and Buddhist art, especially Chan/Zen painting.

Driven
Screenplay : Sylvester Stallone
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2001
Stars : Sylvester Stallone(Joe Tanto), Kip Pardue (Jimmy Blye), Til Schweiger (Beau Brandenburg), Burt Reynolds (Carl Henry), Stacy Edwards (Lucretia Clan), Estella Warren (Sophia Simone), Gina Gershon (Cathy), Robert Sean Leonard (Demille Blye), Cristián de la Fuente (Memo Moreno)
As an action movie, Renny Harlin's Driven isn't very good. It isn't very good as a human drama, either. But, as a thinly disguised allegory for the fading career of action star Sylvester Stallone, who both stars in and wrote the movie, it is a perversely enjoyable ride filled with retro pleasures and immense camp potential. Straight-out action fans might be wowed to a limited extent by the hyperbolic high-speed race sequences and Harlin's emphatic use of point-of-view shots during violent car wrecks, but it is those viewers with a sense of detached irony and twisted humor who will enjoy Driven the most.
The movie is set against the background of the high-stakes globalized sport of Formula One racecar driving, whose 900 million annual spectators make it the most popular sport in the world. This is emphasized through the movie's constant locale shifting, from U.S. cities like Detroit and Chicago, to foreign countries like Japan, Germany, Australia. Although locations change, the rabid fans are still the same, as is the culture of mass consumption of food, drink, and outright spectacle (both the 250-mile-an-hour car races and the many shapely women in tight clothing that seem to be everywhere).
Stallone stars as Joe Tanto, an aging driver who is brought out of retirement by franchise owner Carl Henry (Burt Reynolds) to help out Jimmy Blye (Kip Pardue of Remember the Titans), a young rookie driver with great potential that is too often undermined by his significant self-doubt. Everyone wants a piece of Jimmy, including his domineering brother-manager, Demille (Robert Sean Leonard), who sees him as a cash gold mine.
Jimmy's main competition is Beau Brandenburg (Til Schweiger), the reigning champion who looks like a European fashion model and speaks like Peter Lorre. Jimmy and Beau become even closer competitors when Beau dumps his fiance, Sophia (Estella Warren), who then begins spending time Jimmy. Beau's reason for dumping Sophia is not that he doesn't love her, but because she is a distraction to his racing career. Sophia, for her part, never stops carrying a torch for Beau, even though she travels everywhere with Jimmy as his "friend."
To get a full sense of what Stallone is trying to accomplish in Driven,one has to think back to the original Rocky (1976). Remember that, despite its status as the ultimate underdog movie, the titular boxing hero in Rocky loses at the end. Perhaps it is because he is victorious at the end of the all the sequels that we have somehow lost sight of the fact that Rocky was about the dogged glory of simply being able to compete, not the thrill of victory.
This is similar to Stallone's approach to Driven, in which all the male characters are somehow bruised and battered, emotionally and physically, but still push on toward an unknown destiny. Jimmy, for instance, is hailed as a new sensation, but it's inescapable that he's essentially a geek, which is emphasized by his awkwardness around women and general lack of confidence in himself (he is the utter antithesis of everything we imagine about cocky racecar drivers, like Tom Cruise inverted). Beau, on the other hand, is a hardened professional, but he is too cold and driven to the point that he loses his ability to connect with other people. Carl Henry, the Burt Reynolds character, may have power and money, but he bemoans the fact that he is paralyzed from the waist down and physically confined to a wheelchair.
This, of course, brings us to Stallone's character, who is the most battered of all. Aging and largely forgotten, Joe Tanto is a relic analogous to Stallone's action hero mold of the 1980s. Tanto's backstory is that he was once the king of the racecar circuit until he self-destructed over a period of six years, indulging in all his worst instincts (this is kept largely ambiguous, but it's not hard to read into). He not only destroyed his own career, but so alienated his ex-wife (Gina Gershon) that he literally turned her into a snarling she-wolf whose only goal in life is to hurt him. We are meant to have sympathy for Tanto because he is the aged man of experience who feels regret for his past mistakes and wants to help young Jimmy avoid following his path; similarly, we are meant to have sympathy for Stallone as an actor because he takes something of a backseat in the movie (despite his top billing), essentially saying, "I know I'm not the star anymore in a Matt Damon-Ben Affleck world."
It isn't hard to imagine what Driven would have been like had Stallone wrote it and starred in it 15 years ago. Stallone himself would have been the upstart rookie, and he probably would have cast himself as a fiery rebel who learns a lesson, yet is ultimately victorious in the end because of his sheer machismo. It is quite telling, then, that having been made today, Driven essentially sounds the final death knell of the old-style action hero. After all, here is Sylvester Stallone, the pinnacle of '80s action superstardom, the man who brought to life Rocky and Rambo, mythical movie heroes who survived on pure testosterone and an unwillingness to bend to the system, playing a man who is not only past his prime, but turned into another cog in the very system he would have once upended.
It's a strange feeling watching the movie because you don't feel so much like you're watching Joe Tanto repent for his previous sins as you are watching Sylvester Stallone repent for getting a big head and thinking he could pull off lame-brained comedies like Rhinestone (1984) and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992), which, among his other excesses, led to the downfall of his career.
It is also telling, then, that in Driven there are victors, but no one winner. One character does win the world championship at the end, but he doesn't get the girl. The runner-up doesn't get the trophy, but he does get the girl, while a third character is simply enthused just to have placed. What Stallone does is essentially take all the movie conventions of the victors and the vanquished that previously fueled his career, and parcels them out among all the characters.
Those viewing the movie with a sense of history and irony won't have a hard time picking out these elements from beneath the pyrotechnic excesses of Renny Harlin's direction. Harlin was a perfect choice to helm this movie because, much like Stallone, he essentially deep-sixed himself by overreaching. Once a credible action director of films like Die Hard 2 (1990) and Cliffhanger (1993), he gambled and lost big on his pirate movie debacle Cutthroat Island (1995). Since then, he has been making semi-ironic, so-bad-they're-good flicks like The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and Deep Blue Sea (1999), all of which are immensely enjoyable, but completely vacuous. Driven fits that mold very well, with its overabundance of hyper-visual stylings and awkward melodramatic overkill. But, the subtext of Stallone's career kicks the movie up another notch for those who are willing to see it as something more than just an overcooked racecar movie.

I’ve been playing the open beta of Spectromancer for months - even pre-release, it was a game that managed to find its way into any spare moments at the keyboard. A game of wizardly battling (yes!), it combines tactical unit placement with judicious use of clever, wildly varied powers. The strategic depth on display here is something I really urge you to investigate, and I’m honored to have it on Greenhouse. It features a full single-player campaign in addition to hotseat, LAN, and online play.
If you have something you really need to get done today, downloading the demo would be an incredibly bad move.

I have thus far managed to avoid the swirling vortex of Cataclysm, even as my friends disappear into it one by one. They do make it hard, though. They make it so hard.
You read an article like this one over at Eurogamer - “What can Topple World of Warcraft?” - and nothing that even looks like an MMO comes readily to mind. That is partially because of the head start, but it’s also that World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is in a very literal sense not the game that launched as World of Warcraft in 2004. If you have a good idea in your game they will just take it, adding your uniqueness to their own. I think it would be easier to topple capitalism itself; competitors may want to start there first.
When you saw Epic Citadel, you were probably as horrified as I was. The technology at play is almost more unnerving than it is interesting; you don’t really know what it takes to make something like this happen, and you’re not sure you want to, because you don’t want to be party to their sorceries. About the only thing you could say about Epic Citadel that was not laudatory (or simply a soundless cord of stretching drool) was that Epic Citadel was not, strictly speaking, a game.
At six dollars, Infinity Blade - what happens when Epic Citadel is all growed up - is a king’s ransom compared to most games for the system. The reason becomes obvious very quickly: it runs on every iDevice 3GS and beyond, and it looks like it could be running on the PS3. It’s got a cool recursive hook that provides a optimally calibrated narrative threshold, neither to heavy nor too light for a game that lives on your pocket and could be interrupted at any time by a call from your mom.
You should buy it just to freak your friends out, that’s reason enough, but the fact that it’s fun in addition to being a technical and artistic feat drastically escalates the Purchase Factor. Swiping sword combos, hinged on light exploration and satisfying timing-based parries, dodges, and blocks; loot, customization, and progression. That this is their first shot out the gate is incredible. I’ve had fun with several games on these iThings, true, but I’m rarely surprised. That is no longer the case.
(CW)TB out.

In a political season saturated with "change," Ellen DeGeneres interpreted the campaign buzzword via her Halloween costume.
Donning a get-up embellished with quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies on her talk show, the newlywed said, "I was going to be something everyone was talking about, I'm 'Change.'"
"It wasn’t to my initial concept," DeGeneres added. "I said I wanted to look like a million bucks. This used to be a million bucks it's kind of dwindled down now."
