Talk:Alan L. Hart
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Seeing as the person who raised the "The neutrality of this article is disputed." marker has not even had time to read the article ofr check the sources of the references and links, I assume it is vandalism or simply someone not happy with another TG or TS based article?
Sadly he has not chosen to write his reasons for adding this within three minutes of my publishing the article in this Talk list, so I am not sure what to do now?
Regards Petra H. PeH88 (talk) 19:29, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for not adding my rationale sooner. I would dispute the neutrality of the article as throughout the language used and the style in which it presented is overly personal
and often overwhelmingly positivewhilst lacking sources for verification. It is hard to give specific examples as I think it is more the overall tone of the article which does not present the information from a neutral, encyclopaedic perspective rather than the specifics of the language used. I do not think anything other than a thorough copyedit could really "fix" the problems but in the meantime if the {{npov}} tag is to be removed I would suggest it to be replaced by {{tone}}. Guest9999 (talk) 03:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- After rereading the article (again) I've had some additional thoughts. Regarding neutrality I think an additional problem with the article is that to some extent it acts as a coatrack(links to essay) for a POV on a separate - albeit related - topic. A lot of the information seems to relate only indirectly to the subject and instead at points throughout the article a case is presented for a specific view on the wider issues of gender identification and sexuality. These issues should be fully discussed in other articles that directly deal with the topics but are probably not presented appropriately in this article. As an alternate example the article on Neil Armstrong shouldn't be focussed around an argument for whether or not the moon landings were real or faked - all the information directly relates to the events of his life and the topics relating to him (moonlanding, gemini 11, etc.) are presented in the context of how he was involved. This article was obviously written by an editor with a lot of passion and knowledge of the subject matter but in this case I believe that this has - to a very fixable extent - clouded their objectivity. I did not add the tag as an attack, just as a pointer towards a way in which I think the article should be improved to meet Wikipedia's content standards. Guest9999 (talk) 10:01, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hello Guest9999,
- Thanks for at least taking the time to make a comment, then I was really surprised that you were so quick to mark the article and clearly had not had time to read it fully, to follow the sources or look elsewhere on the Internet. I assume you are not an expert on the Transsexual issues of this Article? The reason these matters are so closely connected and discussed in conjunction with Hart is because his life was taken by two competing interest (First Lesbian, then the Transsexual) and over the years many conflicting publications about Hart have hijacked his real history and lived life as a man, to make him a Lesbian Hero/Heroine. I have tried to remain neutral and not deny the "(Controversy) Kidnapped by the Lesbians" which is reported everywhere in any article about Hart in recent times, and leave it up to the intelligence of the readers to decide which truth they wish to believe of follow.
- In an article written by Michell M. about Alan Hart, originally published in Transgender Community News (TCN), in October 2001, and an update covering the controversy separately in TCN April, 2002, The following excellent description of the life of Hart and the problem about this controversy appears: "Early articles by several authors (including Cook) referred to Hart as a lesbian rather than a transman and this still remains a point of contention in some quarters of the Northwest. I covered this controversy separately in TCN April, 2002."
- If you are not yet a member of the Yahoo or any other Transhistory group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransHistory from which the article in Message No. 1611, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransHistory/message/1611 is discussing the Transgender Community News (TCN) articles about him, alternatively you can go to the http://www.sexchange.us/transhistory.html page and read that "1995 - Transsexual activists protest the stealing of TS/TG History by the Gay & Lesbian community. Efforts by the Ad Hoc Committee to grant recognition of Alan Hart successfully pressure Oregon's Right to Privacy (RTP, now known as "Right to Pride") political action committee to cease using Alan Hart's old name as an award given out to Gay & Lesbian rights activists" or on http://www.albertatrans.org/history.shtml that "1977 - Jonathan Ned Katz publishes Gay American History: Lesbians and Gay Men in the U.S.A. and the connection between Jonathan Gilbert's "H" and Dr. Alan Hart, but asserts Hart as a lesbian, effectively stealing transgender history."
- If on the otherhand you are not interested in Transhistory or understand the reason the mention of Harts name may cause controversy or be misused depending upon when people read books about him, or if reading them now, when they were originally written and for waht reason, then your not understanding why these issues have to be mentioned alongside his name and not on some other page in Wikipedia as you suggested, is quite easily understood and forgiven.
- If I did not mention all of this from the start in the Article, then there would be a number of unnecessary corrections back and forth by people who maybe not knowing any better found on the one side books and reports about awards in his name for being a Lesbian, and on the other for him being a Transman, to save this happening I would rather provide all details I can find or know about him, and maybe someone better than I can edit this into a more condensed and yet still comprehensive review of his long and successful life. In honour of the fact many older people alive today or stemming from parents or Grandparents who befitted from the work and dedication of Mr. Hart and his work I felt it is appropriate to write such a long and detailed article about him and his life, and not the often here in Wikipedia found "three paragraphs". Remember in the Articles in the Internet about him, some concentrate only on his sexual identity, some on his name as a writer, and some on his medical life, but never everything in one single place. Best regards Petra H. --PeH88 (talk) 20:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- I see that some of the wording of this is unsourced opinion, so I can see why a {{POV}} tag was added. I've added an {{essaylike}} tag instead. Sentences like "Anyone ignoring Hart's own self-identity and his achievements as a man, not only insults him and his wife, but also lesbians and women with female brains worldwide." are POV, don't belong in an encyclopedia article unless they can be cited using a reliable source. Please note that this isn't an attack on the subject matter, and that this is true whether or not I know anything about the subject. Thanks. Katr67 (talk) 02:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Further, sentences such as "Maybe these incidences helped form his determination to become a doctor and work on curing diseases?" are inappropriate for an encyclopedia, as we don't generally ask questions, we answer them. If this was meant as a rhetorical question, see WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello Katr67, AND also Hello Aboutmovies Thank you both for your help. I am relatively new to Wikipedia, and so anything I write will need some guidance and assistance or correction. Despite that I want to try to provide all I can that I have found out about this person and even if in the wrong style or tone, am sure is useful to others and maybe someone who enjoys copy-writing or editing can make usefull sense of it?
Many of the lines I noted over the years were from sites and reports that I had found on line, that like so many internet pages were soon gone. Some of the others were from PDFs that I had downloaded while collecting the information, and it is difficult to backtrace the original source. However I am still trying, (Have found and added several today).
Best Regards Petra. PeH88 (talk) 17:36, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello Gonzonoir,
thanks, every little bit helps. And I know I did not make it easy for you, but it was a lot of hard work to put everything that I had found into that initial start version and after a while it gets to a point of continue "editing and discovering more to add and prevent publishing while being re-written" forever and never putting it up on Wiki, or drawing a line and deciding to "publish and be dammed"... You got stuck with the latter decision... lol.
Best Regards and thanks again,
Petra --PeH88 (talk) 00:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- No worries Petra - that's what's neat about Wikipedia. We can share the load :) Gonzonoir (talk) 00:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I believe that the date of Hart's death is wrong on the Wikipedia entry and I have corrected it on OutHistory.org, based on Brian Booth's chronology of Hart's life, giving the source. I have also pointed to lots of missing source citations for factual claims or interpretive opinions about Hart. It would be great if someone interested would work on filling in these missing citations on Wikipedia and on OutHistory.org.

Richmond and Alleghany Railroad
|Richmond - Buchanan, Virginia
|Dates of operation
|March 4, 1880–1888
|James River and Kanawha Canal
|Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
|Track gauge
|4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge
|Richmond, Virginia
The Richmond and Alleghany Railroad was built along the James River along the route of the James River and Kanawha Canal from Richmond on the fall line at the head of navigation to a point west of Lynchburg near Buchanan, Virginia, and combined with the Buchanan and Clifton Forge Railway Company to reach Clifton Forge, Virginia.
Long a dream of early Virginians such as George Washington, the canal was never completed as envisioned to link the James and Ohio Rivers. Beginning in the 1830s, railroads overtook canals as a preferred technology for transportation in Virginia. The canal was conveyed to the new railroad company by a deed dated March 4, 1880. Railroad construction workers promptly started laying tracks on the towpath.
Led by Major James H. Dooley of Richmond, the new railroad offered a water-level route from the Appalachian Mountains just east of West Virginia near Jackson's River Station (now Clifton Forge) through the Blue Ridge Mountains at Balcony Falls to Richmond. In 1888 the railroad was leased, and later purchased, by Collis P. Huntington's Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (merger with C&O occurred in 1889 [1]) . Major Dooley built a mansion on an estate west of Richmond (just east of the current Boulevard Bridge) overlooking the railroad. He and his wife Sallie became benefactors for many philanthropic causes around Richmond, and their estate in Richmond became Maymont.
Today, the former Richmond and Alleghany Railroad is a major route of CSX Transportation. It forms the Rivanna and James River subdivisions. The eastern terminus is Richmond's Main Street Station. It meets the former Virginia Central Railroad (now operated by the Buckingham Branch Railroad, a short-line operator) at Rivanna Junction.

Evshrug, don't know who you're playing against, but they're idiots if they don't have Strela-3s to counter your gunner. You can still kill them before they shoot off the Strela 3 IF they don't have Coldblooded Pro on, however. If they do, you won't be able to see where they are, and it takes two shoots... Chopper Gunner is a wasted killstreak when I or anyone else with common sense.
I get plenty of kills with it though.
Can't you tell what my preferred killstreaks are? Lol. I have more dogs than the lowly spy plane... XD
In fact, I'm surprised I even have that many spy planes, as I never use those streaks. Must be from picking up enemy care packages...
Who am I playing against? Not you and your friends, cuz you're not on my LIVE friends list, LOL! The last time I played though, I wasn't able to chain up over a 6 killstreak :/ Still trying out all the guns, TBH I am liking BO more than MW3. I might even have to start calling it BLOPS out of respect
As far as the next CoD game after BLOPS2, Treyarch already stated that this was going to be their last for the current-gen consoles, and that was part of the reason they stuck with modifying the Quake engine. I don't know if Sledgehammer is taking over for Infinity Ward and continuing the Modern Warfare thread, and if they would develop for this gen or the next, though I would say that the Modern Warfare story had reached a conclusion in my eyes. They could always just stretch it out, but the modern setting is just as mainstream now as WWII shooters were before CoD4. I'd like a compelling multiplayer experience from Bioshock and the Metro series, Borderlands 2 may be golden if they can keep up the energy and zany levels

Black Ops II looks like it's going to be the change us CoD veterans have been asking for. From what I hear it's good ideas after good ideas after good ideas. I didn't mind Black Ops but it did get boring after a while, but if they can nail the hit-detection/lag issues (dedicated servers; it's not that ******* hard) then it could probably revive my interest in gaming. Right now it's the last thing I wanna do.

I've been playing less and less over the past 2 years. It's a bit disheartening, but I could always use a good shooter in my life. If they pull of BLOPS II I might actually play video games again.

lol don't even get me started on why I stopped playing. I could write a term paper just from ranting.
Yo guys,
I saw the multiplayer footage for Black Ops II from GamesCom and to me it looks bad. The footage just turned me off entirely. The maps showed looks like a campers dream and the gameplay looks the same as MW3.
From what I've read, BO2 has anti-camper elements.
1. No more killstreaks. All the rewards are now Scorestreaks, meaning you can do A LOT more damage in Objective-based games than in TDM.
2. Ghost hides you from UAV only if you're moving, and apparently there is an attachment on guns that highlight a player only when they're standing still.
Of course any of this can change from now 'til November, but it's looking to be like Treyarch is actually trying to give ENOUGH (that's the keyword) new elements to the game to keep people from leaving. I'm not surprised you think it looks like MW3 since CoD hasn't really changed from CoD4 and the sprint animation is the same. Also the red-dot sight is the same as MW3, but with a different texture, and THAT sight is almost the exact same ('cept different textures...maybe) from CoD4.

COD series is still one of my Favorites to play on console. I sure hope the rumors are true about less camping cause IW said the same thing about MW3 about map designs and it just as bad as all previous. Until they enforce the age limits they are always going to be little kids camping in the corner and running off at the mouth.
I've been following it more now and am really disappointed so far. It just reminds me of MW3, well not so much, but seems to have a similar vibe. MW3 was terrible, easily the worst recent CoD. Well they all pretty much suck, not Black Ops or MW, but I play because friends have the games.
I think I'll gt Medal of Honor instead. It looks to be much better.
Wouldn't be surprised since they make a CoD game every year.
Honestly Medal of Honor looks like a wannabe Modern Warfare game. I guess I'll keep an eye out for both but personally I'm still looking at what Black Ops 2 has to offer.
I will never understand why people love Zombies so much lol
Ironically, I didn't like Left4Dead OR Dead Island.
Now THERE'S a shocker.
I never played either :P

Two students have been suspended from Royal Valley Middle School for making written threats in a story and several poems. The two said they would like it if three other students were to die.
The parents of one of the threatened boys are upset with the school -- saying they may have tried to sweep the situation under the rug.
The two students were removed from school Tuesday, May 6, but returned to school the next day. It wasn't until parents complained that Wednesday the two were suspended.
Click the video for more reaction. Here is the unedited statement from USD 337 Superintendent John Rundle:
Two Royal Valley Middle School students were suspended from school on Wednesday last week, and a Kansas School Safety and Security Act report was made to county law enforcement.
The district has investigated the matter and taken appropriate and necessary actions to ensure the continued safety of all Royal Valley school students.
Kansas law allows students to be short term suspended for up to 10 days and expelled for up to 186 days. School district policies and state laws have been complied with to ensure the safety of all students in our schools.

Movements yet?
I'm only 15 weeks and I don't think I've felt them.. When did you feel your babies?
I'm not sure yet. I think I might have felt them on Friday. I felt what fel like muscle twitches right below my belly button which is where their feet were at my scan on Thursday.
But I haven't felt that feeling since then. I feel little bits of pressure here and there but I have no idea. No popcorn popping, bubbles, or flutter sensations.
i'm 18 weeks 4 days.
There is no Jesus in your wafer.

I am 16 weeks and do not think I have felt them yet. However, this is my first pregnancy and I don't know what they will feel like.
I'm 17w2d and I think I might have felt them this morning. But then again, it could have been gas! This is the first time I have made it this far in a pregnancy so I'm not sure what it's supposed to feel like.

Life Begin Pushing Hard and Fast
posted by April 1 at 9:19 AMon
There's great news for the undertrained and germophobic among us. Folks can save a life without smooching on someone's clammy blue lips. Ladies and gentlemen, hands-only CPR.
Bystanders who see someone suddenly collapse should quickly give the person chest compressions even if they are not trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the American Heart Association said on Monday.
The association urged people not to stand idly by because they do not think they know how to administer CPR while an adult stricken with sudden cardiac arrest is dying in front of them….
[Dr. Michael Sayre of Ohio State University] said people not trained in CPR should do two things when they encounter an adult who has suddenly collapsed: first, call emergency services; and second, begin pushing "hard and fast" in the center of the person's chest.
Here's the AHA's guide to hands-only CPR. If you are willing to smack on someone's tuna lips (or if you're into that sort of thing), classes on how to do full-on CPR are here.

i'm not a stock market guru like most of you here,i am just a small time (ignorant)investor trying to build my retiremant a little faster than a mutual fund or cd. i bought firstname.lastname@example.com and have taken profit then then reupped at 45 but how can this stock with such good numbers and forecasts be so volatile? i know its comodity but the numbers really haven't changed that much for such drastic swings,have they? please explain just a bit.
You picked a great stock with ATI. Stocks in this much demand will always be short's candidates in their screwed up perspective that TA is gospel. Don't look at where ATI has been. Look where it's going. Sorry I don't have a better explanation for you. $80 stocks that trade in the 50's don't stay their long. Lock and load! GL!
its the float that causes the swings...not many shares outstanding. that is why a 5 dollar cushion is not very big.....this thing can swing 5 bucks in 20 min. take you profit.

Technology and internet have changed many things about the way we live, including study and education. Today the number of people studying online here in Australia is well into the millions, and there's no doubt that this form of study can be well worthwhile, particularly when a student has other commitments. Like if they are taking part time real estate agent course and doing a regular day time job, then it can be a little difficult for them to maintain consistency. This however depends on what you are studying and your particular learning style. We can always debate on which method is better between the quintessential and the more modernized learning approach. Let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of each approach and find out why learning in a classroom is usually preferable.
If you're a person that finds it easy to motivate yourself and stick to a study schedule, then you might be suited for online study. But it's not easy to get motivated easily, looking at some random person talking to you from inside the screen. As for the majority of people, being a part of a group that is moving forward every week and going through exercises together, having a real flesh and blood human being to guide can be very beneficial. It can provide the motivation the person needs to be successful with their study. Real estate business depends a lot on personal interactions, if the person who's mentoring the course has an attractive, pleasant personality nothing can be more motivating for the students than that.
There is no question that people with a jam-packed schedule may be better off going down the path of online classes. However, there are classroom-based study options offered by real estate course providers that are fast-tracked, meaning if you have just a few days free, you can get yourself qualified. They actually provide courses at various hours of the day of a week giving you the opportunity to select the best suitable time and day for you. There are also night courses. It really comes down to personal preference and your schedule.
Not only it can be difficult to motivate yourself when it comes to online study, but absorbing the information effectively is a genuine challenge to. This is particularly the case with real estate agent courses, which, we admit, can be tedious at the best of times. Having a professional that can explain the concepts to you goes a long way in helping you understand. You don't learn only from the books and theories, the personality of the mentor, his body language, the aura they have when they are talking about handling a potential customer, all these are such interesting things to study. These are the things that help you to concentrate more than theoretical aspects. Class discussion with others also has a positive effect.
Learning Style
Are you a person that benefits from one-on-one interaction with people, or are you able teach yourself a lot of information in a very short span of time? While you can communicate with teaching staff and possibly other students online, it's usually done via email, audio and in some cases video. For some nothing compares to sitting down and having a conversation in real time with someone that knows the material.
Often, people may not even know the best conditions for them to learn. In these cases it may be a good idea to go for a balanced approach, where some of the time is spent learning online and some is spent in the classroom.
When making the decision about whether to go for an online or classroom based real estate agent course, do your research and make sure you select one that has a great reputation of producing new agents that find work and succeed. There are lots of options out there for both online and class room based real estate agent courses. But the decision of which study method you need comes down to your personal situation, which you know better than anyone else! So think about how you learn best, your other priorities and you can make an informed decision.

Two years after the Tesla Model S went on sale in the US, Californian start-up Tesla has finally started making a right-hand-drive version of its Model S all-electric saloon for the UK market.
Pop into the only Tesla showroom in the UK in London, or log onto its impressively glossy website, and you can order one of these battery-powered limousines from £49,900 (including the UK government's £5000 EV grant). The flagship P85 'Performance' variant we're driving here includes more power than the lesser 60kWh and standard 85kWh variants and comes with a starting price of £68,700. Our fully loaded test car retails at £98,580.
That eye-watering figure is justified by performance to toast a BMW M5 or Porsche Panamera Turbo. The rear-mounted electric motor develops 410bhp and 630Nm of torque, hurling the hefty Tesla S to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds and to a limited top speed of 130mph - all while emitting no direct CO2 emissions, dodging road tax and the congestion charge, and costing a fraction of what it would to run a petrol saloon with this kind of performance. It's a compelling drivetrain package that badly embarrasses the premium saloon establishment and any other electric car that's come before it.
The 85kWh battery unit is mounted under the car's floor to give the two-tonne saloon a lower centre of gravity than any of its rivals. The chassis set-up is unchanged from the US-spec Model S and as a result the Model S still feels a fair bit softer than a Panamera. It's a car to be enjoyed when driving smoothly, riding a wave of instant torque and lifting off for regenerative braking.
Attacking bends betrays the weight and generous America-friendly dimensions, which – combined with thick A-pillars – make the Model S feel somewhat intimidating, despite its relaxing powertrain. Riding on 21-inch wheels our test car also felt a bit jittery over rough roads, despite the optional adaptive air suspension's variable models. You'll notice a bit of roll in the bends, too.
Inside the Tesla Model S, the 17-inch main touchscreen and digital instrument display combine to provide one of the most intuitive cabins we've ever used, but elsewhere it's not the highest quality. Some trim materials, which include the slippery, unsupportive one-piece leather seats feel a little 'recycled'.
In the two years since the Tesla Model S first hit the scene on the US, electric car ownership hasn't blossomed in the UK, despite healthy financial incentives. The biggest obstacle for the Tesla Model S to be a success in the UK is our relative lack of charging infrastructure.
However, Tesla claims it is working on several UK-based 'Supercharger' battery-replenishing stations that can half-charge a Model S in only 30 minutes, creating up to 150 miles of range. The service is exclusive to Tesla owners and is free of charge. However, it's only compatible with the standard 85kWh and the P85 model we're testing - it'll cost extra to get it fitted.

By Mr. Douglas Demaio (Army Medicine)August 7, 2013
VILSECK, Germany -- Medical professionals in Bavaria are encouraging parents of school-aged children to make an appointment for school-year vaccinations.
Department of Defense Education Activity policy requires students who enroll in DoDEA schools to meet specific immunization requirements.
"August is National Immunization Awareness Month, which just happens to coincide with the beginning of the school year," said Maj. Kevin Warwick, acting chief of Preventive Medicine for Bavaria Medical Department Activity. "We're asking community members to be proactive and start the immunization process early Children need immunizations for school, and this is an excellent opportunity for parents to make sure they're up to date with their vaccines."
Between now and the end of the month, parents are encouraged to make an appointment for immunizations at their clinic.
DoDEA allows a 30-day grace period for transferring students.
More information about vaccine requirements for DoDEA schools can be found at www.dodea.edu/StudentServices/upload/Immunization_Requirements_SY1314.pdf.


text: Posted March 23, 2014 I think Bortles might go first, but then, as the Pittsburgh guy says, everyone wants to go down in the order. a lot of talent in the first four rounds and getting more picks would certainly benefit. Hoping a few of the top 5 bypass QB's and then trade back into the first with some team picking......say 28th? Be great to pick at the top of the second and pick up the top pick in the third on the way. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/23/steelers-g-m-says-everyone-wants-to-trade-down-in-this-draft/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mission of AXPC is to constuctively and thoughtfully work for sound energy, environmental; and related domestic public policies that encourage the responsible exploration, development and production of natural gas and oil to meet the needs of consumers and fuel our economy.
2015 Policymaker Field Trip Tours Eagle Ford Shale Play
AXPC hosted its 2015 Policymaker Field Trip on October 12-14. Congressional and Agency staffers were able to see all phases of upstream oil and gas operations in the Eagle Ford Shale Play in South Texas. Our guests were able to tour these operations courtesy of AXPC member company Pioneer Natural Resources.
In addition to an extensive first-hand look at all phases of field operations, the group received a briefing on the extensive regulatory regime for oil and gas operations as well as learning about the intricacies of measuring and transporting oil and gas from the field to markets.
The photos above and below show members of our group at the drilling, completion, production and water handling facilities the group toured.

A federal grand jury Tuesday returned indictments against workers caught in the Dec. 12 illegal immigration raid at the Cactus Swift meat packing plant for alleged identity theft and other charges.
At least seven people were indicted by the grand jury for various charges in connection with the raid, including aggravated identity theft, fraud in connection with an immigration document, false representation of a Social Security number and false representation of United States citizenship, according to court records about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
More indictments were expected late Tuesday.
The raid on the Swift cactus plant was the result of an ICE investigation, which revealed that a significant number of workers at the Cactus plant were illegal immigrants and had obtained employment by stealing the identities of U.S. citizens and permanent citizens, according to a government memorandum.
The United Food & Commercial Workers International Union Local 540, a labor union representing Swift's Cactus employees, on Thursday amended its lawsuit against ICE and the U.S. Department of Labor that was filed Dec. 15 in connection with the raid.
The lawsuit filed Dec. 15 contends detainees signed stipulated orders of removal - which authorizes deportation and waives appeal of the order - without the full disclosures of their rights.
The amended suit added another claim that ICE officials deprived the detainees of "certain constitutionally protected rights."
The suit states the defendants - identified as Michael Chertoff, secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Julie L. Myers, assistant secretary of Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Labor Secretary Elaine Chao - were "intentional, malicious and reckless and showed a callous disregard of or indifference to" the rights of the detainees.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta visited the World Trade Center site on Tuesday to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks and stated that the possibility of another al-Qaida strike is "very real."
Panetta detailed that despite three of al-Qaida's top four leaders having been killed, branches of the group remains and their militant ideologies continue. He noted that al-Qaida factions are known to be in areas such as Somalia and Yemen.
"They continue to plan attacks and I don't think we can take anything for granted," Panetta told reporters. "The potential for that kind of attack remains very real." more >>
As America nears the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a new survey details how the public feels about Muslims, freedoms and pluralism.
"Ten years after 9/11, Americans continue to grapple with issues of security, tolerance, and pluralism – matters that lie at the heart of what it means to be American," said Dr. Robert P. Jones, CEO of Public Religion Research Institute, in a statement.
"Americans strongly affirm broad First Amendment principles and respect for difference, but they don't always apply these principles evenly or consistently, particularly with regard to American Muslims and immigrants." more >>
As Americans prepare to reflect on the physical and emotional scars left behind by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Awakening America Alliance and Cry Out America are leading a national effort to pray for God to usher in a spiritual awakening in the United States.
In addition to asking churches to pray during Sunday morning services on Sept. 11, the date of the 10th anniversary of the attacks, there are also prayer gatherings scheduled to take place in thousands of different counties across the United States later that same day.
Billy Wilson, executive director of the International Center for Spiritual Renewal and the chair of the Awakening America Alliance (AAA), describes 9/11 as "one of the greatest wake-up call days of our generation." Cry Out America was formed with the hope that God would lead the country into an even greater spiritual awakening. more >>
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) pledged to heed the 9/11 Commission's report and improve communications among the nation's first responders as the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center nears.
King, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, is seeking House support for a bill allocating a 10 MHz radio channel on the communications spectrum for public safety.
"I urge the House to take up my legislation, H.R. 607, as soon as possible so that we can provide our nation's first responders with the tools they require to fulfill their mission," King said in statement. more >>
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has found out last month that during a chance encounter on Sept. 11, 2001, she inadvertently saved a woman's life.
Nearly 10 years following the attacks on that fateful day, Lara Lundstrom Clarke reached out to Paltrow in a letter detailing how their momentary meeting, while Clarke was jaywalking, prevented her from being on the 77th floor of Tower Two of the World Trade Center.
Both women note that their morning exercise routines had set the ball rolling for them to meet each other. While Clarke was crossing in the middle of a West Village street in New York, Paltrow was driving in her silver Mercedes SUV. more >>
As Congress returns from its monthlong recess Tuesday, one of the first orders of business for a New York lawmaker will be to submit legislation seeking to establish the cross recovered from the rubble of the World Trade Center (WTC) as a national monument.
With the legislation titled the "9/11 Memorial Cross National Monument Establishment Act of 2011," Rep. Michael G. Grimm hopes to convince his fellow legislators to approve the bill.
"This cross was a symbol of hope and freedom at a time when New Yorkers were coping with loss and destruction in the aftermath of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil," Grimm said. more >>

A remake of Star Wars The Knights of the old Republic
Star Wars knights of the old republic was an amazing game beginning to the very end. In my opinion I think they should upgrade the game I mean like add better graphics with all of the new technology we have today. I'm just saying why not make a game that was amazing even more amazing what do you guys think about this?
I'm not sure there is a good chance of that happening, but I would definitely like to see that as well. With the recent release of the game on smartphones and tablets after so many years it doesn't seem impossible.
I think if they did remake it, they would have to build it in a remade engine so that combat and certain other things went better and so people could actually input things into the game without extreme troubles
For some reason game remakes aren't the popular. Movie remakes are more likely to happen which is a shame as there have been so many great games in the past that remaking it could recapture the magic. With KOTOR, you already have all the dialogue files so a lot of work has already been completed.
Yeah they have all the dialogue so I mean why not just try to make a remake of KOTOR and see what happens from there I'm pretty sure all the people that once played the game would without a doubt go out and buy it simply because they wanna see the new changes made to the game or just to simply play a game that they loved in their childhood
KOTOR is currently being remastered! It will contain restored content, updated graphics, co-op campaign mode, competitive online matches, new mini-games, and more!
This is no joke, for more, go here: http://kotorremaster.webs.com/

Hey if you go to the unknown regions on this forums and the KoToR 3 thread I am (hopefully) making a spiritual successor/inbetween kotor 1 and kotor 2 game
A decent idea, but for me graphics are secondary to story. And I'd much rather a true, proper, real, not MMORPG KotOR III

I need a lot of type of jump action:
1、jump in place when press space
2、jump forward when character is moving
3、long jump when charcter is running
4、high jump when charcter jump again before the previous jump hasn't finished
bullet or another engine can implement these, how to do it?
I am developing MMORPG, so one client jump, how to I broadcast this action to others resided in the same window. send the key position to server? or simulate the action both in server and others's clients?

Bullet - nor any other physics engine - cannot implement those. You implement jumping functionality on top of them.
There are two ways:

Mom Advice: How to Fib About Gifts
A difficult problem grew easier to unwrap for author Patricia Volk after some reflection on her mother's guidance.
In high school, taking her advice was a cinch. I loved the ID bracelet engraved HOLLAND ("Hope Our Love Lasts and Never Dies") from Jeff. Stuffed animals, charms for my charm bracelet, and Evening in Paris perfume from Harry. Later, men would give me watches or paintings or rings or books and once a handbag I'd never have treated myself to.
Then I got married. When we lived downtown, he found antiques in the little stores that lined our street. Boulle boxes, a locket, silver frames. When we moved uptown, antique stores were no longer on his way home. The Metropolitan Museum of Art was. Turns out I married an On the Way Home guy, and for the next 27 years, every gift came from the Met shop—fake Faberge earrings, enameled ladybugs, Byzantine bracelets. Mesopotamian beads twice. Did I have to say I loved all these convenient gifts? I yearned to be more than an On the Way Home Wife. Should I have ignored my mother and been direct? I took almost every ersatz bijou back to the Met. The credits piled up.
Once I asked him, in the tenderest way, "Do you ever think of getting me something not from the Met?"
"I like Egyptian ankhs," he said.
My mother stopped getting sock stretchers. She "trained" my father to shop at her jeweler, where she'd have visited earlier and picked out what she wanted.
"What do you think Audrey would like?" Dad would ask David.
"I think she'd like a diamond circle pin," the jeweler would say. "What do you think of this one?"
Mom would open the box and squeal, "Cecil, you shouldn't have!" It was their Gift Gavotte. He danced his part with love.
The last present from that husband was a Late Hellenistic choker. Again, I took it back. By then my credit was big enough to buy a William Wegman lithograph of Fay Wray in the tiny shop most people don't know about up the steps in the back.
A present is a present, and what kind of curmudgeon isn't grateful no matter what it is? If I'd loved that husband enough, I would have cherished a mop from him. My Met resentment was a symptom of something larger and darker: He was too hard to love presents from.
Patricia Volk's memoir, How to Be a Woman: Elsa Schiaparelli, Audrey Volk and Me, is forthcoming from Knopf.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
5 thoughts on "Mom Advice: How to Fib About Gifts"
Hinting would help. When out with hubby, walking around, mention how much you like something. My husband just asks me what I want. He says he would rather get me something I want rather than waste money for something I don't. If you see a catalogue, point at what you like and show it to him.
I think you can absolutely love the person you're with, and hate the gifts at times. However, the author's husband wasn't listening to her. She tried to gently tell him that she would like something else, and he replied "I like Egyptian ankhs." The gift should not be about what the giver likes, but rather about what the recipient might want. It might not always hit the mark, but the thought should be there.
. You can ask him a month before his birthday what sort of thing he would like. You can also team up with him in order to find the ideal present for a friend or relative.

Marijuana and cancer
I am wondering if any cases of lung cancer (or other cancer) can result from smoking marijuana?
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
Yes, there is evidence that marijuana smoking can cause cancer, in particular lung cancer. Smoke from burning marijuana contains many of the same carcinogens found in tobacco smoke, some in even higher concentrations. It has been difficult to sort out the contribution of marijuana to lung cancer, since many marijuana smokers also use tobacco. Furthermore, it may be difficult to obtain accurate information about the use of illicit drugs. Here are a number of studies that you may want to look up:

Seeing Doppelgänger
I met my body—or rather face—double, Randy Cohen, for the second time on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Cohen served as "Ethicist" columnist for the New York Times from 1999 to 2011, but we go back a lot further than that.
During the 1980s, he worked as a writer on "Late Night With David Letterman," and he shared three Emmy Awards for "Outstanding Writing." Invariably, the morning after the Emmys, and after Mr. Cohen and his colleagues triumphantly mounted the stage to accept their award, people would ask me whether it had been me they'd seen on TV the previous night.
It didn't make me proud, though I was happy for him—and not just because I have no interest in taking credit for other people's work. I also didn't especially appreciate the idea that there was someone walking around who looks just like me, only he's more successful. It's not quite the same as if your name is Brad Pitt, only you're not that Brad Pitt. But it's close. Distinguishing yourself as a writer is tough enough. Having to do so when there's another guy vamping your profile and accepting awards only complicates your mission. Even my wife agreed that there was an eerie similarity.
Mr. Cohen had no recollection of our previous encounter when we got together this week. But sometime during the '80s I visited "Letterman" because I was writing a piece on talk show talent coordinators and interviewed theirs. While I was there, I asked to meet Mr. Cohen, and was escorted into the writers' meeting. His colleagues were sufficiently impressed by the resemblance that Polaroids were snapped. I still have them.
I should add that Mr. Cohen was, and remains, more comfortable with the notion that he's got a doppelgänger pacing the city than I am. I remember his exact words when we met the first time. "Another skinny-faced Jewish guy," he said with a shrug.
He still seems less vested in looking, if not unique, at least distinguishable from every other Joe on the street. I commented that I thought our looks, at a minimum, were not common. "They are in this neighborhood," he said, referring to the Upper West Side, where he lives and where we met. "There are parts of Poland, Russia and Brooklyn where there are thousands of us."
He told me about his friend David Zitin, an editor who also looks like us. He said he sent a picture of himself with Mr. Zitin to his mother. She thought Mr. Zitin was her son. "I said, 'You're supposed to know me. It's disheartening.'"
"We'll rent a hall," he went on. "We're all getting the same hairstyle, too."
Meaning one that features no hair.
As much as I've always felt a quirky affinity with Mr. Cohen, comparing our receding hairlines wasn't the purpose of the meeting. Most TV writers, it seems to me—and he agreed—stick to TV writing, bouncing from one show to another. Indeed, he noted that virtually every joke writer he worked with on "Letterman" remains in the business.
However, his career has metamorphosed more than once. He applied for the "Ethicist" post never expecting to get it. "I had no training as a philosopher," he explained. "The ability to write a funny line was useful." He's also written several books and a play, "The Punishing Blow," about 18th century bare-fisted boxer Daniel Mendoza, which had its debut in 2009 at the Woodstock Fringe Festival. His latest incarnation is as a radio host. Starting on Feb. 17, his program "Person Place Thing" will be broadcast on WAMC, Northeast Public Radio.
Guests such as Samantha Bee of "The Daily Show," Dick Cavett, Dan Savage, Michael Pollan (another guy who doesn't look all that dissimilar from us) and comedian Susie Essman sit down with Mr. Cohen to discuss their, well, favorite people, place and thing.
"People are particularly interesting when they're not speaking directly about themselves, but something they care passionately about," he explained. "They can love it, hate it, kick it, spit on it—as long as they have strong feelings."
Mr. Savage, the sex-advice columnist, discussed his fascination with Caroline Mathilde, the younger sister of George III, who became queen of Denmark in the 18th century . Who knew? Ed Koch talked about his funeral plot at Trinity Church Cemetery in Upper Manhattan. Sir Roger Bannister, the first man to break the four-minute mile and who went on to a distinguished career as a neurologist, spoke from Oxford, England, about his phrenology head. Phrenology was the pseudo-scientific belief that by examining the size and shape of a skull one could determine the subject's character and intelligence.
"He kept it on the bookshelf in his office as a reminder of human folly," Mr. Cohen explained. "It was this object that reminded him of the necessity of humility when doing medical research."
Ms. Essman, Larry David's foul-mouthed adversary on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," discussed her beloved grandmother's ashes. She kept them in a box in her apartment for 20 years, before she mustered the wherewithal to bury them upstate.
I suppose that was her person. Her place was the bar on 81st Street and Amsterdam Avenue where she met her husband. And her thing was the blue crib notes she has carried onstage throughout her comedy career, as a sort of security blanket, even though she rarely refers to them. "She will not go onstage without them," Mr. Cohen reported.
He is optimistic about the program's prospects. It's supported by the New York Council for the Humanities, and Mr. Cohen said the initial feedback, including from himself, has been encouraging. "I've heard it and it really works well," he said. "It's not just deranged egomania.
"My teen dream," he added, "would be to go nationally as soon as we can."
After our meeting, he emailed me that photograph of himself and his friend Daniel Zitin under the subject line "our tribe." While I agree they look almost exactly alike, I don't think they look anything like me.

TONASKET – It seems to be a recurring theme that some of Tonasket's most honored citizens are also the people that least like to be at the center of attention. Kari Alexander, the 2014 Tonasket Founders Day Grand Marshal, fits that mold perfectly. Alexander admits to be a bit taken aback at being named Grand Marshal, meaning she will be riding in the parade waving at the crowd with her husband Matt, rather than behind the scenes organizing the parade, which is what she's done the past four years. "I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it," Alexander says. "Bertha Wandler is going to be doing the parade management on Saturday; otherwise I've been doing it behind the scenes." Since the Alexanders, including daughters Emma and Sara (now in sixth and fourth grades, respectively) moved to Tonasket from the Los Angeles area in 2005, Kari has been a diligent behind-the-scenes worker that has been a driving force behind a lot of what have become Tonasket staples. Her most current projects involve arranging and funding the annual visits by the Missoula Children's Theater, which annually build elaborate productions in days-long visits using Tonasket School District students. She's also one of the coaches for the Tonasket Elementary School's Math is Cool teams, a fourth and fifth grade academic competition that this year both qualified for the state finals in just their second year of existence. "I've kind of settled into doing Missoula Children's Theater year round," she says, "and I'm loving the Math is Cool right now. At various times over the past eight-plus years, she's served as president of the Tonasket Cooperative Pre-school, served as Tonasket Chamber of Commerce Secretary, Vice President and President ("I went to the wrong meeting," she jokes); worked for a couple of years with Americorps; served as the Tonasket PTO President; and through the PTO arranged the fourth grade classes' annual Salmon Festival trip. Somewhere in there, she's also found time to work her "real" job as a paraprofessional at Tonasket Elementary School while working toward her Masters Degree in Education. "By this time next year, I'll be a certified teacher," she says. Kari Alexander says her family moved here after enjoying the area while visiting her grandfather, who was raised in Tonasket. Once they arrived, she realized that the best way to ensure that some of the things she enjoyed about the big city would happen here in Tonasket would be to take them on herself. "If I wanted things for the kids, I needed to be someone to step up and do it," she says. "In L.A. things just kind of happen whether you're there or not. In a small town, if you want something to happen you kind of have to step up and do it." And sometimes when you do that, you end up publicly honored and recognized for your efforts, like it or not.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 52 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hugo2015 Well train staff Amazing experience, will definitely revisit again. January 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kelvin5379 The breakfast is not good The environment is good, but not natura when compairing to Sheraton Huizhou Beach resort where you will hear the birds singing. Furthermore, the food & beverage is not good which I won't experience in other sheraton hotel. For the breakfast, the start time is 6:30am, no staff here to serve, and also the hot dishes are not hot, it's a little cold. I really don't think it the quality from Sheraton hotel. November 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JimmyFaith A Great SPG Resort A resort with excellent views facing a huge lake. Very good services. All hotel staff was nice and helpful. Good value of money paid. The room was clean. The indoor, outdoor pools and the gym were impressive. To me, it is one of the best SPG resorts in Guangdong, China. October 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Svenne102 Relaxing Resort Hotel for Family The Sheraton Bailuhu Resort is a very nice hotel for a relaxing getaway or weekend with the family. We stayed a weekend and were upgraded to a very nice and comfortable suite. The suite, as well, as the public areas of the hotel, were very clean and well maintained. The restaurants offer a big variety of foods. But most important, the service was excellent. Each staff was very friendly, helpful and always smiling. For families with kids, the hotel offers a fantastic outdoor pool with toys for kids and also a kids playroom. All staff are very child friendly and our children did not want to go back home. The only hamper might be at check-in, The hotel has up to 4 check-in counters but with group arrivals, one might have to wait a little or a little more. As the resort a some distance from Huizhou, cabs might not want to take one there, also a surcharge applies for calling a cab to the hotel. It is best to drive to the resort in your own car. There is also a bus service from Hong Kong directly to the hotel. June 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cluo it is great hotel Good indoor and outdoor swimming pool, good air in the vallage. a good place to spend weekend. May 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shi1991 I'll come back for sure!!! This is my second stay at this property, and I definitely loved it! This is my first stay upon achieving platinum status, and I got upgraded to a really spacious suite before arrival. It was very comfortable and nice for a getaway. I have to mention that bellman Benson is absolutely doing a nice job, and he loves to help me out with anything that I wanted to know. He also contacted me regarding a stuff I left at the hotel and was willing to mail that back to me. Breakfast on the first floor was of average quality, and the quality of bathroom amenities should be improved. April 20, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mingchm Poor services and bad quality As a worldwide top tier hotel brand, I was quite disappointed on Sheraton Bailuhu after my stay. 1. The spacious of room was in average. There was a big cockroaches (still alive) inside the room when first entered the room. The cleanliness of the hotel room made me wonder. 2. The lighting at hotel elevator lobby was poor. The lighting was not turned on even it was 7pm. 3. The staff at Yue restaurant were in average responsive, though some of them were not helpful. 4. Food quality at yue was in average. Some items were already sold out though it was just 7pm. I was told there was banquet so food was in shortage. But should the restaurant have it prepared in early advance?? 5. The food delivery was in mess, either missed or wrong. Some items were not delivered at the end and we were not informed. 6. I requested a late checkout when making reservation and it was confirmed (confirmed by hotel with email), however a front desk staff told me it was the reservation staff mistake and declined. Not only the hotel should address their reservation operation, but also how their staff response and attitude to guest. 7. There were many mosquito in the room at night though all windows were closed. The staff told it was a resort so there would be mosquito. Is it an excuse?? As a 5-star hotel, room, services and quality are not up to standard. Many areas need a lot of improvement especially the hotel staff. November 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TonyWilson Nowhere to put luggage but floor There is no where to put luggage but floor, causing very inconvenience. However, after phone request, it was immediately provided to room. Good service. November 7, 2014
