The staff was friendly and was able to assist in every need we had.
The breakfast is subpar. The kids loved the waffle maker but got burnt out on it after the third day. It never changed the 5 days we were there and why can't hotels make stronger coffee or at least a decent flavor.I recommend it for the value!! My comment about subpar breakfast is true but you can't complain for the bargain we got it for!!

Poor 1.0
Staff was friendly.
When booking the online pictures were not of the actual hotel. I thought I was at the wrong place. When looking now the pictures are updated. A dump. Wallpaper peeling off the walls, tears in the carpet, plastic chairs in the room, horrible pillows, etc.Holes in the wall, very smelly, broken furniture. No towels the last night-rowing team had used up all the towels. The overall appearance when driving up was one of an old building that was deserted. The pillows were so lumpy I folded up my beach towels I had taken for the pool to use. When I asked for a replacement it was just as bad. When turning on the heat it smelled as if it was the first time it had been cut on in a long while and I left with sinus issues. A VERY DISAPPOINTED customer.

A good, budget-friendly place to stay for University activities. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Good variety and quality at the free breakfast. Place is only a couple of minutes away from the University but is just far enough from the core of downtown to not be bothered by nightlife. It is fairly close to the rail line, but we were not disturbed at night. Nothing fancy here, but a good, honest, workaday place to get out of the weather.

The General Register Office maintains a national index of all births, marriages and deaths registered in England and Wales. The index for each year is split into quarters (March, June, September & December), and is arranged alphabetically by surname. From 1984 to the present, the Civil Registration Indexes are ordered by surname for the whole year. For births and deaths, the Index is organized by the date when the event was registered, not the date that the birth or death actually occured. Marriages are shown in the quarter in which they actually took place. After 1874, births were generally registered within six weeks, according to law, and deaths within eight days.
The GRO Indexes include the surname, first name, registration district and the volume and page of the General Register Office reference. Beginning with the September quarter of 1911, the mother's maiden name was added to the index for births. From 1912, the spouses name is included in the index for marriages. The age at death is included in the GRO Index beginning in 1866, and the date of birth for death registrations was added in 1969.

Ocean Professional Theatre Company presents:
Man of La Mancha
Starring John Davidson as Don Quixote and Heather Provost as Aldonza
Inspired by Miguel Cervantes' 17th century masterpiece Don Quixote, this play within a play performed by Cervantes and his fellow prisoners tells the poignant and passionate tale of a noble knight who lives in a world of madness and cannot see that chivalry had died. His holy quest is a mission of salvation to find compassion not for himself but for others. The score is a musical delight and contains one of the most moving moments in musical theatre as Don Quixote relates he personal credo in The Impossible Dream.


text: Louisiana will soon be producing oysters indoors, with all the taste of the Gulf. A $3 million hatchery building is under construction on Grand Isle and should be a boon to Louisiana's oyster industry. There's been a hatchery on Grand Isle for 23 years, but it's always been outdoor seasonal facility, limited to warm water months. The indoor Sea Grant Oyster Hatchery will be an elevated building, able to heat sea water and maintain temperature for the first time. That'll enable them to extend their growing season...earlier in the Spring and later in the Fall...even controlling the seasons to an extent. "We can produce an oyster that's fat in the summertime, whereas, normally, they're skinny from spawning," says LSU Research Professor and oyster specialist John Supan. "These oysters can't spawn. They're sexually sterile." Supan is director of the hatchery. He says the old, outdoor facility also meant having to shut down if a storm was brewing in the Gulf, severely affecting their oyster research and production needs. And this facility is expected to be quite productive. "The hatchery is designed to produce 200 million oyster larvae a month, as long as the water quality holds up." That's because they'll use 8,000 gallons of bay water a day. But, they'll have much greater control over that water, including the ability to control its salinity. "What we're promoting is teaching how to grow oysters in new ways that make them grow faster, and that are fatter meat. You can grow them in saltier areas, and everybody loves salty, half-shell oysters," says Bray. He says the indoor operation is something new for Louisiana, but there's been off-bottom oyster production on the east and west coasts for decades and it's currently being used to revive the oyster industry in Chesapeake Bay. He says you can make oysters faster and grow them much faster, off-bottom, than you can in the Gulf. They've also been able to develop a brood stock that is resistant to a disease that kills oysters. "So, the hatchery brings more to the table than just producing lots of larvae," Bray says. "It can make genetic improvements to the brood stock." The building should be completed by the end of January, and the goal is to be spawning those oysters by May. (photo from WWL's Joe Marino)

Find A Grave is a wonderful resource, and I am so happy to have "found" this website. I have been doing family history research on and off since 1970. It is time consuming, as well as a labor of love, and extremely rewarding. Now that I have retired, I am able to spend more time on my favorite hobby.
I am researching these names (ancestors and descendants):
In TN and NC: Sharp/Sharpe, Cooper, Welch, Hatmaker, Duke, Hafford, Tinsley, Tucker, Farbridge, Burton, Mosier, Jarnagan/Jarnagon/possibly Jernigan.
In VA and GA: Watson, Halburt, Burdyne.
In Glamorgan, Wales, UK: Greenberry or Green Berry Hill.
In Kent, UK: John Stevens.
In UK: Thomas Fay/Faye; Margaret Maiter/Maher/Maier, Ellen Lynch, David Lynch, Bolling.
In NY: William Henry Stevens & Maggie/Mary/Mae Fay(e).
In Arkansas: Garrett, Wilson, Calhoun, Farbridge, Hamilton, Hafford.
In VA, GA & FL: Hill, Callahan, Cain, Bradford, Power, Sims, Caraway/Carraway/Cariway, Grisham/Gresham/Grissom.
In VA and OH: Moon.
In GA, AL, FL, TX and OK: Zellner.
I manage the memorial sites for several family members and ancestors, as well as some very dear family friends.
A special place in my heart is held for the FAG memorial # 26414618, that of my beloved daughter,
Lauren Elizabeth Hafford
If you visit her memorial, please leave a remembrance so I will know you have visited.
Here is a wonderful quote by a man I had the pleasure of hearing in person when I was a university student many moons ago: "I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." Leo F. Buscaglia
I love my FAG friends, and have met some wonderful people associated with this website. I enjoy getting emails from fellow FAG members and visitors. You may want to leave a token at a memorial created in tribute to
Fallen Gravers
. These people have passed on, but were a part of our group when they were living.
One of my favorite things to do is leave flowers for infants, children or young adults who have been taken from us too soon. It makes me feel sad when I see a memorial that has been created and no one has left a flower for that person. I feel everyone should have a flower at their memorial site to show that someone remembers them.
If you see a memorial for one of your family members that I have created, please let me know how you are related to that person. I will happily transfer them to you, unless they are also a relative of mine. I feel the memorials should be with loved ones (family) whenever possible. Please use the Edit tab on the memorial for that relative to request a transfer.
I take great care with the memorials I create, and I like to include as much information as I have available. If you have a picture, information to add, or a correction, please let me know via the Edit tab. (Thanks.) I feel the memorials are not only a lasting tribute to the person, but they are a very valuale resource for fellow genealogists and family historians.

Thank you
Thank you for your support in standing up to the self-appointed Find A Grave bullies. Thank goodness they are relatively few in number. Perhaps, in time, the latest ones will go the way of the earlier ones and give up on their bossiness and desire to control others who are here simply to honor those who have gone before. We all know the importance of guidelines and rules that support order. But we are also, from our grammar school years, all too familiar with folk who "boss" just to be bossy. Too bad they didn't manage to outgrow it. I suppose eventually they will realize that some of us have moved past the fourth grade and they will have to find someone more naive to pester.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court took up a deceptively simple question in a case brought by breast cancer patients and medical researchers: Are human genes patentable?
The answer appeared to be "no" during Monday's oral arguments. The justices signaled that they probably will bar any grants of exclusive and profitable patents on human genes that prevent other scientists from testing these pieces of DNA.

For a number of years in our annual Connecticut State of the Birds report we've called for improvements in the way the State acquires, manages and keeps track of protected open space. This year there's a bill before the General Assembly that we think will do that, and which also has a reasonably good chance of being passed and signed into law.
Called "An Act Concerning the State's Open Space Plan" (SB 347), the bill requires the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to identify lands that are the highest priorities for open space acquisition, including wildlife habitat and ecological resources, and the general locations of these highest priorities.
The legislation also requires the DEEP to work with other state agencies to identify state-owned lands that are important for conservation but which are not protected open space, and to plan a strategy for preserving them in perpetuity.
And it broadens the number of stakeholders the DEEP must consult when it works on these projects. Added to the list are municipalities and regional planning agencies, in addition to the Council on Environmental Quality and private nonprofit land conservation organizations such as CAS.
The bill was drafted by the Council of Environmental Quality, and we've been working with its executive director, Karl Wagener, on trying to get it passed. We have created a new Tracking Legislation page on our website to follow its progress, and the progress of other bills we're interested in. It also includes more information about why we think it's important and a link to the text of the bill.
To take a look, click here.
The Act Concerning the State's Open Space Plan was reported favorably out of the Environment Committee, which means the committee endorses it. But it has yet to be placed on the Senate calendar. When it does, we will be asking our supporters to make phone calls and send emails to the appropriate people in Hartford to help get it passed.

Gain professional experience!
The School Counseling Program is designed so coursework in principles and practices of school counseling are integrated into both practicum and internship experiences. These clinical experiences are intended to provide school counselor candidates with opportunities to perform a variety of counseling activities licensed professional school counselors perform. Practicum consists of 100 clock hours of time spent at a designated school site. Internship consists of 600 clock hours of time at the same site or within the district directly following the practicum experience.
Practicum is expected to be completed over the course of one semester and Internship is divided into three sections of 200 clock hours, which must cover a minimum of two semesters, but can be completed at a pace congruent with each candidate's plan to meet this requirement. Throughout both field experiences, candidates will receive supervision at their site by a licensed professional school counselor as well as at the university by licensed school counseling faculty. During the semester prior to enrollment in practicum, students are required to complete an online practicum application and attend an orientation session.

Jessie Combs
School Counselor, Cambridge City Schools
The University of Dayton is well known and highly respected. The school counseling program is rigorous and thankfully so because I was/am confident in my abilities and knowledge as a result of this program. The counselor friendships I made while at UD are priceless! I use these friendships frequently as contacts for advice or school situations and second opinions. The UD graduate professors are truly amazing. These professors understand the material and are perfectly suited for educating future counselors. I still contact them for encouragement and advice. I can't say enough about the quality of the program that UD provides. With the many options available, there has never been a doubt in my mind that I chose the right school and program! I am the school counselor I am today because of UD, the exemplary program, the hard work, and the supportive and knowledgeable professors that this awesome university provides.
Lavonne King
Guidance Counselor, Licking Heights West
I was really nervous when I began the school counseling graduate program. I am a single mother and my son was fairly young. I was also working full time. I was expected to complete my assignments but my professors were well aware that many of us had families. The program was flexible enough for my lifestyle. I was also nervous because it had been years since I had been in school. It worked out really well because rarely did we work in isolation. We worked in groups. By working in groups, I bonded well with other potential school counselors. I continue to collaborate with those with whom I bonded.
Alicia Mulkey
School Counselor, Southwestern City Schools
The Counselor Education program at the University of Dayton was a remarkable experience that taught me the ins and outs of being a school counselor. The fundamental knowledge base of counseling was a dominate aspect of the program in which I still refer back to notes and textbooks in daily practice. As a current school counselor, I feel competent and content in my work with children. I gained knowledge as well as professional relationships and friendships that I will cherish for a lifetime.

NATIONAL REPORT — "This is the new parvo," an expert says of the canine influenza outbreak now confirmed in 22 states.
Cynda Crawford, DVM, PhD, an expert in canine influenza from the University of Florida, reports that this airborne virus is
more widespread than once thought. Preliminary data show a 16 percent infection rate and a 7-percent mortality rate, which
Crawford believes is likely low based on the small sample.
The effects of canine influenza have authorities comparing the virus' potential to a more prolific parvovirus.
Dogs in 50 states have been tested for the virus, with more than 4,000 veterinarians submitting blood samples for analysis.
With so many states reporting positive results, this influenza is not simply confined to shelters or racetracks, but veterinary
practices as well.
"This isn't a dirty shelter disease," says Dr. Miranda Spindel, director of Veterinary Services at the Larimer Humane Society
(LHS) in Colorado. "Canine influenza is in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities. Anywhere dogs go, so does this virus."
Spindel, who is starting a residency in shelter medicine at Colorado State University, says any open-intake facility receiving
and dismissing dogs can have a dog incubating and shedding virulent disease. She ramped up on canine influenza when LHS was
hit with an outbreak.
Canines are the newest mammalian host for this virus, Crawford says. "There is no indication that canines will be the last
species to be hit with emerging strains."
Fighting an outbreak
Officials are battling canine influenza brush fires throughout the United States.
Here is the latest from some areas impacted by canine influenza:
All Florida greyhound racetracks have issued quarantines on their dogs. All racers remain at their home track.
"There is no regulatory body that can make race tracks shut down by mandate in Florida," Crawford says. "But it is a good
thing that quarantines took place to minimize the spread."
When 15 greyhounds died due to the illness, the Naples-Fort Meyers Greyhound Track issued a quarantine.
Two dogs reportedly died at the Palm Beach Kennel Club.
The Bonita Springs, Florida dog track cut back to eight to 11 races daily and canceled all Saturday races after a consulting
veterinarian gave the recommendation in order to give the dogs adequate rest between races.
In May, the Cheyenne Animal Shelter in Cheyenne, Wyo., depopulated its shelter after 72 dogs were infected or exposed to the
Forty-two dogs were euthanized over the course of one day, says Alan Cohen, director of the facility. Nineteen that hadn't
been directly exposed to the adoptable population were separated and treated, while 11 were in foster care.
"It was a daunting task, but it was the approach to the problem that was chosen by the veterinarian who was here at the time,"
he adds. "That was without a doubt the worst hour and a half of my life."
The decision was made after an attempt to treat the infected dogs failed. Cohen says he believes stress played a large role
in the dogs failed recovery, and the ability to recover diminishes in line with the concentration of infected dogs in an area.
In October 2005, the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) in Wilmington, was forced to close its doors to adopters for eights
weeks after a single dog tracked canine influenza into its kennel.
"Unknowingly we brought a West Highland Terrier into the facility on a Wednesday; by Saturday, the entire kennel was coughing
and was infected with the virus," says Angie Wells, DHA's medical manager.
Blood samples were sent to Cornell for confirmation. At that point, the shelter sent letters to all area veterinarians and
to Pennsylvania, where the infected dog originated.

About Wildlife Institute of India
Established in 1982, Wildlife Institute of India (WII) is an internationally acclaimed Institution, which offers training program, academic courses and advisory in wildlife research and management. The Institute is actively engaged in research across the breadth of the country on biodiversity related issues.
The Institute's idyllic campus that has been carefully developed to create state of the art infrastructure encourages scholarly work.
Latest Events
Elevational species replacement, the replacement of closely related species along an elevational gradient, is one of the most widely documented but least understood ecological patterns. Our current understanding is mostly based on attempting to explain patterns across communities. The objective of the research that Sahas Barve (M.Sc. WII; Ph.D. student Cornell University) and I are undertaking is to identify the mechanisms that create this pattern. We combine year-round studies of populations with experiments to test the importance of interspecific competition, predation and blood physiology in limiting species distributions of a group of closely related resident cavity-nesting species belonging to the family of the titmice (Paridae).The campus of the Wildlife Institute of India is one of the study sites where we can study a low-elevation great tit population in the absence of other tit species. We placed 50 nest boxes on campus and use these to study great tit reproduction. In April 2014 we colour banded all males and most females and were able to determine the use of the campus and its nest boxes. Most of the pairs identified, use a nest box for breeding.

Former state Sen. Cal Cunningham had strong words for Raleigh City Manager Ruffin Hall after city leaders rejected Exploris Charter School's request to rent the old Salvation Army building at Moore Square.
Cunningham, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate in 2010, told Hall in an email that city staffers exercised "bad form" in discussions with the charter school, where Cunningham is a committee member.
City staff advised against leasing the vacant building, in part because of soil contamination issues on the property. Exploris leaders said they hadn't heard about the environmental problems until the Feb. 25 meeting.
"We were very surprised by staff's recommendation once we got a hold of the memo, especially since it represented a change of position from the oral conversations leading up to the memo," Cunningham wrote. "You now have parents and volunteers using words like 'sucker punched' with regards to city staff."
"If we had understood … we might have redirected our efforts earlier and are now scrambling to figure out whether we will be able to expand the school this fall."
For his part, Hall replied that he's sorry Exploris supporters were upset by the decision. "Staff concerns evolved as we went through the process," he wrote to Cunningham, adding that the city will help look for another site for Exploris' new elementary school. "No guarantees, but perhaps we are aware of private property options that may prove helpful."
Chapel Hill reconsiders zoning
Chapel Hillians continue to wrestle with worries that a new "form-based code" may not deliver on its promises.
Town Council members indicated Thursday that unresolved questions about the Ephesus-Fordham redevelopment zone could delay a March 24 decision. The draft code would apply to 190 acres of primarily commercial land south of East Franklin Street and surrounding Fordham Boulevard.
Form-based code lets developers know what the local expectations are for how buildings should look and relate to their surroundings. It generally promises a faster approval time than traditional zoning and permits.
Many residents say the lack of details about what could happen and whether the town would benefit leaves them fearful of giving up the reins to town staff and developers. But the draft code's supporters say it could make the town more attractive to investors and improve its reputation as a difficult place to do business.
Landscape architect Scott Murray said he supports the draft code after trying it out on different clients' projects.
"Is it a good code? Yes. Is it a great code? I think it is," Murray said. "Is it perfect? No, it doesn't have to be, but it does work in the real world, and it's time to get on with it."
Wake schools hope to use clout
Wake County school leaders hope to leverage their position as the largest school system in North Carolina to persuade state leaders to drop the requirement that districts offer raises to top teachers in return for them giving up their tenure rights.
The Wake County school board unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday calling for a repeal of the state law mandating that the new contracts be offered to 25 percent of teachers across the state. But Wake deliberately stopped short of what Durham's school board did on Wednesday in voting to join the lawsuit that the Guilford County school system will file against the new contracts.
Instead, Wake school leaders will try to meet with legislators and Gov. Pat McCrory to press for changes.
"I'm hoping this has some influence on the state," school board Vice Chairman Tom Benton said after Tuesday's vote. "And I hope we've phrased this in a way that state leaders realize we're reaching out to them on behalf of educators, not just in Wake County but across the state, to try to address the issues that the law is causing."

Chrysanthemum is a very popular herb in China for its cooling properties. There are so many different varieties of chrysanthemum, but only four of them have been considered good enough to be tribute teas for the emperor. One is from Yellow Mountain named "Huang Shan Gong Ju" (Yellow Mountain Tribute Chrysanthemum). Tea master Wang Feng Sheng adds this variety his Green Peony display tea to make Chrysanthemum Peony display tea. Adding chrysanthemum to green tea amplifies its cooling properties.
Green Peony display tea is an original design by renowned tea master Wang Feng Sheng, the inventor of display teas. This was his first design in 1986. This tea comes from Yellow Mountain, an area famous for Huang Shan Mao Feng green tea.

Today, three members of the Russian activist punk band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison for "hooliganism" stemming from an incident in February, when the trio performed its anti-Putin "Punk Prayer" inside a Russian Orthodox cathedral
Following the verdict, there will be global protests today including one at the Russian Consulate in San Francisco at 3pm and at Justin Herman Plaza at 6:30pm.
It's a case that has sparked international interest, and become a cause célèbre for musicians and feminists worldwide. Those who have spoken out against the harsh treatment of the trio (who were kept in a cage during the trial, and forced, along with the entire courtroom, to stand for two hours while the judge droned on with the verdict) include Kathleen Hanna – who called the trial a farce – and Yoko Ono, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, Peaches, and dozens more.
During that verdict reading, the judge said Pussy Riot "committed an act of hooliganism, a gross violation of public order showing obvious disrespect for society."
According to Reuters, Moscow's US embassy said the sentence appeared disproportionate to what the defendants did.
The women, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Marina Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30 (two of whom are mothers to young children) have said the performance, in which they donned colorful ski masks,was a protest against Vladimir Putin's ties with the church. The song was less than a minute long, and now the group is set to spend two years in prison for it.
The lyrics of the "Punk Prayer" are below:
St. Maria, Virgin, Drive away Putin
Drive away! Drive away Putin!
(end chorus)
Black robe, golden epaulettes
All parishioners are crawling and bowing
The ghost of freedom is in heaven
Gay pride sent to Siberia in chains
The head of the KGB is their chief saint
Leads protesters to prison under escort
In order not to offend the Holy
Women have to give birth and to love
Holy shit, shit, Lord's shit!
Holy shit, shit, Lord's shit!
St. Maria, Virgin, become a feminist
Become a feminist, Become a feminist
(end chorus)
Church praises the rotten dictators
The cross-bearer procession of black limousines
In school you are going to meet with a teacher-preacher
Go to class - bring him money!
Patriarch Gundyaev believes in Putin
Bitch, you better believed in God
Belt of the Virgin is no substitute for mass-meetings
In protest of our Ever-Virgin Mary!
St. Maria, Virgin, Drive away Putin
Drive away! Drive away Putin!
(end chorus)
The case, of course, extends far beyond this activist band, questioning bubbling questions of free speech in Putin's Russia. Thousands are taking a stand, protesting in Barcelona, Berlin, Bonn, Dublin, Hamburg, Kaliningrad, Kiev, London, M
arseille, Melbourne, Moscow, München/Munich, Murmansk, Nantes, New York City, Nice, Odessa, Paris, Perm, Reykjavik, Riga, Samara, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Toronto, Toulouse, Tournai, Belgium, Tver, Västerås, Vilinus, Warszawa, Wien/Vienna – and San Francisco.

is about as articulate as a 10-year-old girl.
These are some righteous sisters and Putin is a disgusting thug. They deserve our support.
when this story has cycled out of the news, no one will care any more.
Putin's only crime is not laying down for the imperatives of the US empire which crushes dissent at home while piously insisting that others must not.
for standing up to the US by putting three women in prison for two years for dancing and singing in a church.
Because nobody rots in jail here for committing no real crimes against anyone or anything.
of skinhead youths in front of crowd of 2500 cheering onlookers until you were three seconds from death. Then they'd kick your skull in a couple more times to make sure it was a done deal. And it wouldn't be for dissent, it would be for being gay and Jewish and too loud.
And this is the guy you want to defend? You ever really notice that being contrarian to *everything* sometime makes you kind of an ass hat?
No sooner did I type my last post about typical American ignorance, than another poster gives me a perfect case in point.
Let me school you. The kinds of Russian skinhead groups you're talking about are generally quite anti-Putin. They're part of the "opposition."
You want an international outrage? Protest the British Consulate!
Seriously. This is one of the most appalling cases of misdirected outrage I've ever seen. Look, I think the ruling is too heavy-handed. Yeah, it sux these clowns are going to spend some jail time for a crime that essentially amounts to disturbing the peace. But you know what? Let's be real here and have some perspective.
First, let's remember that The Land of the Free just instituted mass arrests, police violence, and jail time for protesters doing much less offensive things than disrupting a church service with a song about "the lord's shit." [their lyrics, not mine].
So please, spare us the sanctimonious bullshit and clean up your own house before you wag your finger at others.
Secondly, as heavy-handed as the ruling was, these garage-band wanna-bes are basically nobodies, and the only reason they're in the news is that they did something for shock value. Not cool to put them in jail for it, but there's a much bigger international outrage than this, and the good 'ol US of A has everything to do with it.
Right now Julian Assange, who frankly should be a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for risking his fucking life to bring us the truth about horrific government (and corporate) crimes, is instead sitting in the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid being handed over to the Americans for torture.
It's a dirty shame that neither Sweden nor the UK nor his own country of Australia stood up for his human rights. Instead, it took a tiny, independent democracy in Latin America to show the world what respect for human rights means .Whose president, incidentally, is frankly risking his own life to do the right thing. But this isn't what I'm most outraged about. Oh no, it gets much, much worse.
Yesterday, after Ecuador granted Assange asylum, the UK, a supposed democracy which supposedly upholds the rule of law, did something so jaw-droppingly outrageous that it is beyond comprehension. A foreign ministry spokesperson actually wrote a letter to Ecuador threatening to go *into* their embassy and ARREST Julian Assange ANYWAY!!!
This is something that NO ONE, not even the worst dictatorship, does. Asylum is sacrosanct. The Ecuadorian Embassy is legally Ecuadorian soil. This is set in stone. It's the whole basis for the 1951 Geneva Conventions on asylum. When that blind Chinese guy, a critic of the one child per family policy, escaped house arrest and somehow made it to the US embassy, even China relented and let him board a plane. Which is generally what happens.
But the UK, no doubt under heavy pressure from the US, is not only not letting Assange get on a plane to Ecuador, but is threatening to do something so far outside of international norms, that no rogue state has ever done anything of the sort.
And this is where all these sanctimonious American and British washed-up musicians come in. Their OWN countries are right now committing a gross violation of the most sacred of diplomatic conventions. It's something affecting their OWN countries, not just some internal matter halfway across the world. Plus, the underlying issue is *far* more important in the Assange case. And what the hell are they doing? They're protesting on behalf of Pussy Riot! Give me a friggin break!
I will say one thing about this whole sordid affair. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa has some serious balls, and he's willing to do the right thing. For that, Assange is supremely lucky. But it would have probably been wiser if he had picked a country with a little bit more clout than Ecuador. Like... oh, say, Russia. Russia has some serious issues, but it does provide some little bit of balance against US hegemony. If those crumpet-eaters would've DARED threaten to storm the *Russian* embassy to yank an asylum seeker protected under the Geneva Conventions, Putin would have told them to stick their British Empire where the sun don't shine. Bastards think this is still the 19th century.
And pen your own poorly-written piece on the sadness of Julian Assange and the complexity of the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations (that's right dumbfuck - you keep referring to the GENEVA Conventions when what you're really talking about are the Vienna Conventions).
You are so dumb it almost makes me sad to have to school you because you make it too damned easy.
"Poorly written" or not, it really got your goat, didn't it?
I'm referring to this 1951 convention signed in Geneva:
It deals with the rights of asylum seekers within it. But yes, thank you for pointing out (albeit in a way that demonstrates that you're a dick), that the UK's actions ALSO violate the 1961 Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations.
Regardless of whether the UK is violating 50 years, or 60 years, of international norms and conventions, my main point still stands. And that is that they ARE violating EVERY norm and convention in an absolutely unprecedented manner.
-This is being done by a supposed western democracy
-The ultimate pressure is coming from our own country, the US
-It's FAR more egregious of a violation than what Russia has done
-It's a far more important case
-We've done far worse dealing with our own protest movements. (Yeah... imagine if Occupy went into Grace Cathedral and started singing a song about "the lord's shit" in the middle of the service)
-The victim, Julian Assange, has done far more to advance the cause of democracy and human rights around the world, and has taken far more risks to do so, than some shitty garage punk band who no one ever heard of.
Again, I'm not saying that the court ruling wasn't heavy-handed. But considering all the above points, seeing all these American and British rockers raise a shitstorm about a (somewhat) excessive sentence for a crappy band's tantrum halfway across the world, all the while remaining totally silent about a much more important and egregious case right under their noses... well it's just bizarre.
Pussy Riot is one defining the freedom to protest in a country ruled by a dictator who routinely uses the justice system to harass and imprison his opponents. They're opponents of a dictatorial regime in a state with a long history of persecuting artists who often times represent one of the few voices speaking up for democratic and humanitarian values (remember that Pussy Riot's protest piece references the lack of GLBT rights in Russia).
The other is, as you admit yourself, a bit more complex. It's also interesting that Assange is wanted for two sexual assaults and you're ignoring that salient fact in your discussion of the issue - what about the rights of the two women in Sweden who claim they were sexually assaulted? Why, in every one of these discussions centering around Mirkarimi or Assange, do the rights of the victim(s) never (or rarely) come up? Assange also stuck his supporters with the cost of paying his $250,000 bond, which he forfeited when he entered the embassy - that's pretty damned shitty if you ask me.
"It's also interesting that Assange is wanted for two sexual assaults and you're ignoring that salient fact in your discussion of the issue - what about the rights of the two women in Sweden who claim they were sexually assaulted?"
It's interesting that both women have ties to the CIA. Frankly, you have no right to talk. You trolls were downright vicious towards Eliana Lopez, the "victim" in the Mirkarimi case . Do her rights matter?
What is it with your constant defense of men who either physically abuse (Ross Mirkarimi) or sexually abuse (Julian Assange) women? Julian Assange's sexual abuse of two women is hardly something to build a free speech case on.
And I challenge you to give anyone here factual evidence of either of the two Swedes having anything to do with either CIA or the Swedish Security Service. That's the worst sort of leftist McCarthyism and you know it.
it's refreshing to see women finally being treated equally under the law. being held accountable for one's actions is a sign of adulthood, which women have trouble achieving.
don't bend over for the soap, ladies.
Troll, the *current* issue surrounding Assange is not complex at all, and I "admitted" no such thing. Important, far-reaching, yes. Complex? No. Assange has been granted asylum. Britain needs to act within the norms of the civilized world -no, scratch that -the WHOLE world. Period. End of story. Look, I think Assange is a hero who deserves the nobel peace prize, because he risked his life for the cause of human rights and democracy. And I make no bones about it. But let me be clear -*whatever* you think of Assange, threatening to storm an embassy to arrest someone granted asylum is completely beyond the pale. Not to mention incredibly stupid. Imagine if China, instead of letting the blind guy board a plane for the US, had asserted a non-existent "right" to storm the US embassy to arrest the guy. You'd be having a shitfit. There is no "complexity" here. It's a gross violation and it sets a horrible precedent for the next time someone unhappy with China's or Russia's legal system walks into a western embassy.
The Russia issue is actually much *more* complex. First of all, let's drop the unnecessary hyperbole. Today's Russia, while not totally free, is not a dictatorship. It can best be described as a flawed democracy, very much like the United States. There are differences, but those differences are more a matter of degrees.
Do they manipulate elections? Sure. But so do we. Unlimited corporate dominance of the media, ballot rules that make it incredibly difficult to break the pro-capitalist Demopublican duopoly, voter suppression laws, electronic voting prone to manipulation, purges of voter lists, felon disenfranchisement, blatant violations of the one-person/one-vote rules through the electoral college and composition of the Senate, and when all else fails the Supreme Court just overturns the election and the guy who wins fewer votes AND fewer electoral college "votes" STILL takes power. So, please, don't tell me about Russia being a "dictatorship."
Putin happens to be genuinely popular, because he has increased living standards and orchestrated a Russian resurgence on the world stage. Whether there were some irregularities or not, there's no question that he won his election in a legitimate landslide. And I have some more news for you... the strongest opposition to Putin doesn't come from anyone Washington supports. The only other serious organized party that has any support at all, is the Communist Party. The people Washington supports -the neolibs like Yavlinsky, a corporate darling who now mainly spends his time traveling the world making speeches at corporate think tanks; or the perennial protester Navalny... these guys have near zero support in the polls. They're the electoral equivalent of Lyndon LaRouche in Russia. But they have punk bands with provocative names doing publicity stunts for them!
Same goes for parliament -the last parliamentary election saw Putin's party top the vote yet again. Was it manipulated? Probably. How much? Well, let's put it this way, Russia expert Professor Stephen Cohen estimated that instead of winning 50% -20% over their next highest challengers the Communists, they probably won more like 40% -30%. Proportions for democratic socialists and ultranationalists of a little over 10% each were about right. All in all, compared to how much political diversity *our* system allows, the amount of political diversity allowed in Russia is clearly greater than in the US government/congress.
Now, the folks Washington supports, and the perennial shock-value protestors like Pussy Riot... those guys didn't pass the electoral threshold to get into parliament. But let's be clear... it's NOT because Putin "cracked down" on them in some way. It's because they have no support among the Russian electorate.
And how could they? There is real opposition to Putin that has some support -in the form of Communists, Democratic Socialists, and ultranationists... and they did get into parliament. But the "opposition" that we hold up and idolize here is mainly of two varieties.
1. Suited neoliberal types who want to privatize Russia's assets and sell them off to the highest foreign bidder. Tried that in the 1990s, and it was a disaster. These people are intellectually bankrupt. They have no ideas on how to keep their country strong and improve living standards, which is why they have no support.
2. Assorted rioters, perennial protestors, demagogues, and garage-band wanna-bes. Their "leaders" are mainly opportunists, and their followers are mainly youth who want to have a good time and party. With friends like them, the first group scarcely needs enemies.
And now enter Pussy Riot. This is probably the harshest sentence that a Russian court has yet handed down under the category of "suppressing political speech." But you know what? Their actions were also the among the most shocking thing that protestors claiming "political speech" have done to date. They did everything but drop their pants and take a dump in the middle of the church. If some American protestors did what they did, they'd be in jail too. Personally, I'm pretty tolerant of shocking protests. I think it would've been appropriate to have them spend the night in jail to sober up and pay a fine. But I'm not shedding crocodile tears, or pretending that they're Nelson Mandelas or anything.
They did it for shock value, for self-promotion, and they pretty much got what they wanted. They shocked the country. And now they're famous, in a way that their music alone could never have achieved for them. I hope they enjoy their newfound notoriety.
I hope I had a chance to give a little more perspective both about this situation and how it compares on a larger scale, and specifically about the situation in Russia, which honestly most Americans know little about.
But there's one observation that still needs to be made. Why is it that people just come out of the woodwork to denounce supposed violations of human rights -just anywhere but in their own country? In fact, the people who are quickest to mock, ridicule, and denounce dissenters in America are the same ones who come out of the woodwork to "defend human rights" anywhere but here. Gee, how courageous of you! It must give you such a warm fuzzy feeling.
You ever wonder why Americans are so resented abroad? It's because of this level of ignorance about the world around them, and how their government relates to the world, coupled -perversely -with an overridding arrogance that their point of view is the only truth there is.
It's an ugly combination.
and guess what, *maybe* three people actually read it.
You spent an entire Saturday morning defending Vladimir Putin? Wow... Ok. Apparently you're on a life mission to take up shitty causes everywhere, from San Francisco to Russia, and go all in defending them.
That's cool. Just know that you're essentially talking to yourself here.
I hope the author did too. The article was written on such a one-sided and superficial level, lacking so much context, that there was a lot I felt should be conveyed.
Sorry if I put a strain on your short span of attention. It must be hard for minds accustomed to reality shows and local news to grasp so much at one time. As is often the case, information sufficient to fully understand a topic cannot be conveyed in soundbites.
Being critical of Russia's human rights record does not equate to being utterly blind to injustices that take place in America.
That's a ridiculous assertion, and that's why nobody is reading them.
I love how one troll after another is coming onto this forum just to tell me that nobody is reading what I wrote. Man, that's rich.
You can't argue on the merits, because you know very little about the subject you'd be expressing an opinion about... but, but, you still have this burning desire to say something disagreeable. Dammit! So this is all you've got... "Uh.. uh... well nobody likes you! So there!" Dude, that's just sad.
Another one of your weaknesses is that you apparently don't grasp the concept of irony, accusing me of arguing with a straw man by saying this:
"Being critical of Russia's human rights record does not equate to being utterly blind to injustices that take place in America. That's a ridiculous assertion"
I made no such assertion. I said... what I said. It speaks for itself.
Because you folk often try and make hero's out of people like Kenneth Harding.

AAJ Response to Carlyle Dropping Forced Arbitration Clause in IPO
Washington, DC—The Carlyle Group today announced that they are withdrawing the forced arbitration clause that was included in its proposed IPO filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in response to pressure from shareholder rights advocates and lawmakers. The following is a statement from American Association for Justice President Gary M. Paul:
"With the investor community, lawmakers, and former SEC officials speaking out against the use of forced arbitration in Carlyle's proposed IPO, it was evident that this was an ill-conceived move from the start. Corporations intent on skirting accountability have used forced arbitration as a weapon to hide wrongdoing and deny legal recourse to countless workers and consumers. Today's developments should send a strong signal to other companies that forced arbitration clauses will not be accepted by investors or the SEC."
- Under Carlyle's forced arbitration clause, all claims must be brought in individual, secretive forced arbitration in Delaware.
- The clause bans any form of class proceeding.
- By virtue of purchasing a Carlyle stock alone, investors will have automatically agreed to waive their legal rights
What the Experts Say
- "It is quite possible that the Carlyle Group, the private equity firm that is preparing to go public, is proposing the most shareholder-unfriendly corporate governance structure in modern history. … The thing that pushes Carlyle's corporate governance structure over the edge is the arbitration requirements. ... The effect of these three provisions is to essentially eliminate any ability of shareholders to sue the board for even the most egregious acts. This includes federal securities law claims as well as any state law claims." –Steven M. Davidoff, law professor at Ohio State University and "New York Times Deal Professor"
- "The SEC should reject this effort to circumvent shareholder rights because it will be an extraordinary and enduring precedent. It will open the door to arbitration clauses in all IPOs, and thereby eviscerate shareholder rights." –U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)
- "You give up your rights immediately under this construct." –U.S. Representative Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.)
- "The majority of the enforcement of the U.S. securities laws is not done by the SEC but by attorneys for investors. This Carlyle proposal destroys that enforcement mechanism, much to the detriment of 100 million Americans." –Lynn Turner, the SEC's chief accountant from July 1998 to August 2001
- "If Carlyle can get away with this, you are going to have a bunch of CEOs telling their tax accountants, 'Price out what it would cost me.'" –Stephen Bainbridge, a corporate and securities law professor at the UCLA School of Law
- "Companies that consider going down this road take a perceptual risk which, in terms of an IPO, is probably not a risk worth taking." –Arthur Levitt, Carlyle senior adviser and former SEC Chairman
- "This reflects a company and management team that fears accountability to the very people. You have to ask what they are hiding or what are they preparing to hide?" –Gregory Smith, Council of Institutional Investors board member
- "In its recent proposed initial public offering (IPO), Carlyle will have no requirements for an independent board, virtually no voting rights for owners, and no ability for owners to sue. … with no real shareholder rights in place, there is no accountability by Carlyle to those who buy their units/shares. What if every corporation adopted such a stance? … Carlyle's IPO raises a fundamental question about our future: we know capitalism was never perfect -- but are we really ready for the end of capitalism as we once knew it, when it worked?" – Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of The Value Alliance and Corporate Governance Alliance
- "What we are talking about is legally uncharted territory. I would be surprised if the courts allow any company to entirely foreclose shareholder rights to sue under federal securities laws." –Donald Langevoort, Georgetown University law professor and former SEC official
- "If you really could enforce it, you would see every publicly traded company having that, and you don't." –Kevin LaCroix, Executive Vice President at OakBridge Insurance Services LLC
- "Carlyle would be highly sensitive to this question because they have looked at it over and over again in the context of whether to take private companies public. There are powerful reasons to do what Carlyle is trying to do." –Hal Scott, Harvard Law School professor and Director of the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation
- "It will be a difficult precedent to contain if the SEC permits this." –John Coffee, Columbia Law School professor
- "If you are on the moneyed side, you would like to put an arbitration clause in every contract. It's a far more limited opportunity for the plaintiff." –James Hill, Benesch LLP
On the SEC's reaction to the previous attempt to include a forced arbitration clause in an IPO: "The commission went ballistic. They refused to let the offering go public." –Carl Schneider, former partner at Philadelphia law firm Wolf, Block, Schorr & Solis-Cohen
- "Although sympathetic to the principal concerns espoused by the shareholder proposal, Gannett believes the implementation of the proposal would cause it to violate the federal securities laws. Rather than having the company's proxy statement serve as a test case for investor sentiment on the issue, the appropriate course of action is for the issue to be debated and decided by Congress." –Dec. 27 letter to the SEC from Gannett, the McLean, Virginia-based publisher of USA Today, and Pfizer, the New York drug manufacturer

Ada —
An Ada City Schools student has been diagnosed with tuberculosis, the administrative director of the Pontotoc County Health Department said Thursday.
Local health officials are not identifying the student by name, age, gender or grade due to privacy concerns, Michael Echelle said during a news conference at the school district's administration building. He said officials do not yet know how the infected student contracted TB.
Dr. Charles Harvey, a medical consultant and associate TB control officer with the state health department, said the student started receiving treatment as soon as he or she was identified. The student was isolated to prevent further transmission of TB bacteria and will remain in isolation until he or she is longer contagious, which could take anywhere from two weeks to three months.
"It's usually less than a month," Harvey said.
Even after the student is no longer contagious, officials will continue monitoring him or her to ensure that the student is not transmitting TB bacteria, said Lauri Smithee, acute disease control chief and TB control officer for the state health department.
The health department has identified students who may have been exposed to the disease while attending Ada High School, and they will need to be tested for TB.
Health officials met with school representatives Thursday morning to discuss the case and supplied them with a letter explaining the situation, as well as a fact sheet with information about TB, Echelle said. Officials also hosted an informational meeting for students.
"The letter basically states that we've identified a student that was confirmed positive for tuberculosis disease and then that we, through our disease investigation, have identified the classes which the student attended as well as the faculty," he said. "So we are notifying all students. We're notifying the faculty."
Ada Superintendent Pat Harrison said the school district sent copies of the letter and fact sheet home with all students on Thursday and notified parents through a phone alert system.
TB infection is detected with a skin test. Two tests are required — one now, and a second test in three months. If the test is positive, a chest X-ray and other tests will be performed to make sure the person does not have TB disease.
The local health department will administer skin tests to students who may have been exposed to TB between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, at Ada Cougar Activity Center. Parents and legal guardians will need to sign a consent form before their child can be tested.
The health department will return to the Activity Center at 8 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, to read the test results. People whose children cannot be evaluated on both dates should contact the health department, which will provide any follow-up testing if needed.
TB is an infectious disease caused by bacteria which usually affects the lungs. The bacteria spread when someone with the disease coughs, sneezes, laughs or sings, launching the bacteria into the air.
Symptoms may include feeling weak or sick, weight loss, fever and night sweats. People who have TB of the lungs may complain of coughing, chest pain and/or coughing up blood.
People with a TB infection have the bacteria in their body but are not sick because the bacteria are inactive, according to information from the state health department. They cannot spread the bacteria to others, but they may develop TB disease in the future if the bacteria become active.
Harvey said Oklahoma has reported approximately 40 cases of TB since Jan. 1, which is slightly lower than usual.

Middletown police have released a report that gives more information about how a 27-year old Red Bank woman was killed in the Middletown Bank of America parking lot, at Route 35 and Navesink River Road, on Oct. 1.
According to the investigation report, Janet Ramos Morales of Herbert Street, an unlicensed driver, was operating a 2002 Ford Explorer SUV when she pulled into the parking lot from the Route 35 South entrance.
In attempting to make a left hand turn into an angled parking stall in the rear, police believe she was driving too fast and wound up side-swiping the passenger side of an unoccupied Toyota Tundra pick-up, and vaulting over the curb.
Her husband Angel Rojas Faustino, 34, was a passenger in the Ford Explorer, as was their 3-year old child. After she exited the vehicle he, a driver with a Maryland driver's license, backed the SUV out. In doing so, the right rear end of the SUV hit Ramos Morales in the parking lot.
Ramos Morales was treated at the scene by MONOC paramedics and the Leonardo First Aid Squad. She was transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center where she was pronounced dead at 2:24 p.m.
The SUV, registered to a Long Branch owner not at the scene, was impounded.
A toxicology test was given to Faustino, and the investigation is continuing, according to the report. No charges have yet been filed.

Brethren of Jesus (Matt. 1:25; 12:46, 50: Mark 3:31, 32; Gal. 1:19; 1 Cor. 9:5, etc.) were probably the younger children of Joseph and Mary. Some have supposed that they may have been the children of Joseph by a former marriage, and others that they were the children of Mary, the Virgin's sister, and wife of Cleophas. The first interpretation, however, is the most natural.

The brotherhood was shaped by three influences-the Protestant faith in which its organizers had been raised, the Pietist reform movement, and Anabaptist teachings from the 16th century.
