From Exclusion to Inclusion: Jewish WWII Soldiers in the Israeli National Narrative by Sveta Roberman
Israel Studies
Summer 2009, Vol. 14, No. 2, Pages 50-71
Posted Online April 28, 2009.
From the abstract by Sveta Roberman
This study focuses on the case of 1.5 million Jewish soldiers who fought in the Allied Armies in WWII and explores its place in Israeli social memory. For decades the story of military combat and sacrifice of WWII Jewish soldiers was marginalized in the Israeli mnemonic narrative. Over the years, different groups of ex-servicemen living in Israel kept alive the memory of their involvement in the combat and contested its silencing and marginalization. Weaving the texture of those events from the dual strands of forgetting and remembering, I elucidate on the process by which the national historical narrative was formed, revealing the dynamics of Israeli nationalism and showing how symbolic boundaries of national belonging were reshaped over time.

Animals, Predators, the Right to Life, and the Duty to Save Lives
by Aaron Simmons
Ethics & the Environment
Spring 2009, Vol. 14, No. 1, Pages 15-27
Posted Online April 28, 2009
From the Abstract by Aaron Simmons:
One challenge to the idea that animals have a moral right to life claims that any such right would require us to intervene in the wild to prevent animals from being killed by predators. I argue that belief in an animal right to life does not commit us to supporting a program of predator-prey intervention. One common retort to the predator challenge contends that we are not required to save animals from predators because predators are not moral agents. I suggest that this retort fails to overcome the predator challenge. I seek to articulate a more satisfactory argument explaining why we are not required to save wild prey from predators and how this position is perfectly consistent with the idea that animals have a basic right to life.

Scott Russell Sanders is quite a popular interview subject this Earth Week! Read his latest interview with Grist:
Sanders' book Staying Put offers a countercultural vision of what it means to live rooted in a place—not far from Wendell Berry country, geographically or philosophically. A Private History of Awe charts his development-of-conscience growing up on a military base during the civil rights and Vietnam eras. It's one of the best memoirs I've ever read.
His new book, A Conservationist Manifesto (released this week), presents a host of arguments for why we're better off thinking of ourselves as citizens and stewards than consumers in the face of ecological disaster. Here's our recent phone conversation about the book. Continue reading article...

Today marks the official publication date for Scott Russell Sanders' latest book, A Conservationist Manifesto. On this Earth Day, I can't think of a more fitting way to honor our planet than to share my conversation with Scott about his work, his concerns for our planet, and what we can do to be better stewards of the Earth.
IU Press Blog: I found the theme of your book—moving from a culture of consumption to a culture of conservation—very timely in light of our current economic crisis. In your essay "A Few Earthly Words," you discuss the meaning of the word "economy." You explain that the roots of the word "economy" reveal that the definition is "management of a household," but most people typically think of "economy" as "the distribution of goods and services through buying and selling." Do you see our country's financial collapse as an opportunity for us to re-examine the meaning of "economy" and to move toward becoming a more sustainable society? Or do you think that once our economic woes have passed, we will return to our consumptive ways?
Scott Russell Sanders: I do see the current economic collapse as an opportunity for reimagining what an economy is for. The purpose of the money-based economy—as opposed to the economy of nature—should be to provide goods and services that people actually need, to provide meaningful and rewarding jobs, and to distribute the benefits of human ingenuity as broadly and fairly as possible. But our pundits, politicians, and financiers treat the economy as if the piling up of money and the acceleration of "consumption" were the overriding goals. Advertising reinforces this message around the clock, by every medium known to humankind. It tells us that buying stuff is the way to happiness, and it treats the earth as a warehouse of raw materials to serve our pleasure. The earth is not a warehouse. It is our home. We are guests here. We should refuse to think of ourselves as "consumers" and think of ourselves instead as creators, conservers, citizens.
You write that conservation begins from this fact: "The land does not belong to us; we belong to the land." How can we inspire others to feel more invested in caring for the place in which they live?
The first step in reconnecting to one's home ground is to come away from the screens, pull the plugs from one's ears, and go outside and look around. Explore the territory. Learn to know your neighborhood, your community, the surrounding landscape, and the watershed. Parents can insist that their children play outside for part of every day. Better yet, parents can go outside with the children, take a walk, look for birds or bugs, learn the names of neighborhood trees, study the stars. Cities and towns need to protect more open lands and wild lands so that citizens have the chance to glimpse the greater-than-human world. Schools need to establish gardens and meadows for children to explore. We evolved in relation to this marvelous planet. Our bodies are primed to respond to it, if we only renew our contact with the earth.
Assuming we are successful in inspiring a new crop of budding conservationists, what resources or books do you suggest consulting in order to develop a more sustainable lifestyle?
One could begin with a few of the many websites that are devoted to environmental issues and news. Here are a few of my favorites: grist.org, orionsociety.org, wiserearth.org, ecogeek.org, realclimate.org, and newdream.org. There are many sites devoted to simple living, sites associated with major environmental organizations (Audubon, Green Peace, Sierra Club, Trust for Public Land, Nature Conservancy, etc.), and sites focused on particular conservation strategies (solar and wind power, retrofitting homes, bicycle commuting, back yard gardening, etc.). As for books, there are many to choose from. I have learned a great deal from the work of Wendell Berry, Gary Snyder, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and, behind them all, Henry David Thoreau. Two excellent anthologies offer a sampling of the American nature-and-conservation tradition: John Elder and Robert Finch, eds., Nature Writing (Norton, 2002) and Bill McKibben, ed., American Earth: Environmental Writing Since Thoreau (Library of America, 2008).
What do you think of the recent Earth Hour event? Do you think it's effective in raising the public's consciousness about climate change, or is it just a gimmick as some have suggested?
The quenching of unnecessary lights and appliances on Earth Hour was an effective way of reminding people around the world of how much energy we ordinarily waste. It also reminds us that we are in this predicament together. We all inherit the consequences of climate destabilization, ozone depletion, acid rain, coral die-off, exhaustion of ocean fisheries, and the like. Environmental problems are global, and the responses need to be global, as well. The Earth Hour event also puts policy makers on notice that millions of citizens are calling for decisive action to slow and eventually reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being emitted.
Speaking of Earth events, how do you plan to celebrate Earth Day? (Or do you consider every day "Earth Day?")
I do try to celebrate every day as Earth Day—noticing what's in bloom, how the clouds are moving, what the birds are doing, how the dirt smells. But it's useful to designate a particular day for a worldwide celebration. On this April 22, I will be working at school, as usual, until late afternoon, but I hope to find an hour or so before supper to work in our garden. My wife and I live in a small house on a small city lot, which is shaded by several big trees. We don't have much space for gardening, but we devote every available square inch to flowers, ferns, vegetables, and other plants. Working in the soil and watching things grow are among my deepest pleasures. That evening, I will be joining perhaps two or three hundred people who are concerned with green initiatives in our community. I'll talk about A Conservationist Manifesto, which is to be published that day, and I'll share my thoughts on the practice of conservation.
As a conservationist and an author, what do you think about the growth of the e-book market? E-books save resources, but do you think there are any drawbacks to becoming more dependent upon technology (and power, as the batteries in reading devices need to be recharged) to read books? What is your preferred format for reading?
I recognize that e-books have some advantages, including the capacity to store a great deal of reading material. They might also reduce the waste of paper involved in the publication of conventional books. (Each year, millions of books are pulped or thrown away.) On the other hand, as with computers and cell phones and other electronic devices, every stage of the manufacture of e-books produces pollution and waste—in the mining and refining of materials, shipping, etc. The devices are likely to have a short life before they are discarded, usually to end up in landfills. Amazon's first electronic reader was replaced in less than a year. By contrast, one can find in any library perfectly legible books that were made hundreds of years ago. Some methods of paper manufacturing pollute our waterways. But new techniques have reduced or even eliminated this pollution. My own book, for example, is printed on 30% postconsumer recycled paper, processed chlorine-free. Rightly made, books are ecologically friendly, durable, portable, and precious.
Next month, you will receive the Mark Twain Award from the Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature. How does it feel to be the recipient of such a prestigious honor?
Receiving this award is a special honor, because Mark Twain has enthralled me since I was a boy, when I first read his tale about Huckleberry Finn and Jim traveling down the Mississippi River. He has been one of the stars I reckoned by, because he set his greatest books here in the heartland, far from the cultural power centers, and because he drew on American speech instead of the English imported from Britain. Previous winners of the award include several of my literary heroes, such as Toni Morrison, Jim Harrison, and Wright Morris, as well as other worthies such as Ray Bradbury, Jack Conroy, Harriet Monroe, William Maxwell, and Gwendolyn Brooks. That is heady company for someone who first dreamed of setting out on the writer's path as a nine-year-old immersed in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
In your interview with Live at IU, you said that you have been drawn back to fiction, after years of writing nonfiction. Why did you shift to writing mainly nonfiction for so long? And what inspired you to return to writing fiction?
In the 1980s, after writing nothing but fiction for more than a decade, I shifted into nonfiction, mainly because I found the essay to be a more effective way of addressing the matters that concerned me most deeply—war and peace, the culture of families, the meaning of good work, the practice of community, the health of the land and its creatures, and spiritual inquiry. Because the kind of nonfiction I write often requires me to stare long and hard at troubling subjects, I take a break occasionally by writing short fiction. Over the past couple of years, I have completed six linked stories of a projected ten, and I hope to return to that project soon. But right now I am immersed, as usual, in writing essays about pressing concerns, trying to understand our predicament and trying to imagine ways of moving toward a more just, peaceful, and sustainable way of life.
As the parent of a young child, I was delighted to learn that you are also a children's author. (We are looking for new material as our daughter wants to read the same books over and over again.) Why did you decide to write for children, and do you have any plans for future children's books?
I have written eight books for children, seven of them picture books and one of them a chapter book. The latter, Hear the Wind Blow, is a collection of short stories inspired by classic American folk songs. Of the seven picture books, five relate tales about families settling the Ohio River wilderness. Perhaps the best known titles are Aurora Means Dawn and Warm as Wool, both in print from the Wooster Book Company. The other two picture books, Meeting Trees and Crawdad Creek, both published by National Geographic, tell about children exploring nature. I undertook those projects in response to invitations from two editors of children's books; when those editors moved on, I did not feel I could take the time away from my writing for adults to seek out new contacts in children's publishing.
Finally, what projects are you currently working on, and what events do you have scheduled?
I'm involved in several projects. I am performing in a show of songs and stories inspired by my early book of tales, Wilderness Plots. I am adapting my historical novel, Bad Man Ballad, into a stage play of the same title. I am working on the collection of linked stories that I mentioned above. And I am gathering materials for a book about preserving and restoring what I call the common wealth—those gifts from nature, culture, and community that we share by virtue of our membership in the human family.

Happy day before Earth Day! In anticipation of this event, I offer personal reviews of some of my favorite green reads that we've published:
A Conservationist Manifesto by Scott Russell Sanders
This is one of the best books I've read lately. Sanders' call to move from a culture of consumption to one of conservation is more timely than ever now in the wake of our uncertain financial future, depleting oil supply, and global climate change. I thought I was doing enough by recycling, buying organic and local foods when possible, and driving a fuel efficient car, but after reading this book, I realize that I was being green only when it was convenient for me. If the recycling center didn't take a certain kind of plastic, I threw it away. If I didn't feel like paying the premium for organic and local foods, I'd opt for the cheaper food shipped halfway around the world and probably sprayed with chemicals. I thought it was OK to drive my car everywhere because it was fuel efficient. This book makes me think twice about my actions as they not only affect me, but also the planet and everyone else who lives on it. I am better for reading it, and hopefully this positive impact will be felt by the Earth as well. I can't recommend this book enough. It will change your life.
Perennials Short and Tall by Moya Andrews
Moya Andrews just might be my yard's savior! We built a house and it's my first experience living at a place with absolutely no landscaping. Every other home we lived in already had flower beds. I just maintained them or planted some new flowers when the existing ones petered out. I did manage to plant some rose bushes last year in the back yard (which now I realize I planted too closely together). But the front of our house is still a blank canvas, which I don't know how to fill. Our yard is part sun/part shade, and I'm having trouble thinking of a good plant that doesn't need a lot of sun or shade. So I asked my coworker, who is also an avid gardener, what to do. She told me that I need not look further than my office bookshelf. "You know, we publish some great gardening books." Well, duh, of course we do! So I snapped up a copy of this book. Andrews offers great advice for novice gardeners such as myself on bed preparation, design, growing seasons, and flower bed maintenance. The book also includes descriptions and illustrations of 25 species of perennials, which has been helpful to me in selecting appropriate plants for my garden. (I think I'll start with coreopsis or astilbe and see what happens!)
The Tao of Cooking by Sally Pasley
I still have not fulfilled my New Year's resolution to make a recipe from this vegetarian cookbook. I have eight more months, so I haven't broken my resolution...yet. The problem is that I think I'm the only one in my household who would actually enjoy eating a vegetarian meal. There are several recipes for breakfast items, so perhaps I'll start with one of those and work my way up to main courses. Although I haven't actually cooked anything from this book, the recipes look pretty straightforward (and if the queen of the easy 30-minute meal thinks she can cook a recipe from this book, then ANYONE can do it). All the recipes come from the legendary Tao Restaurant in Bloomington, IN. Although the restaurant is no longer open, locals still rave about it, and their Tao dressing is still for sale at the local grocery co-op. If you are vegetarian or interested in reducing your carbon footprint, this is the cookbook for you.

The Titans brought veteran offensive coach Tom Moore in as a five-week consultant after they fired offensive coordinator Chris Palmer, offering replacement play-caller Dowell Loggains a set of training wheels.
But Moore said he's now looking for a new challenge, and one seems more obvious than the rest.
"They have their coaching staff set there at Tennessee, and I don't want anybody's job. I want a job that is open," Moore told Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean. "I truly enjoyed myself while I was there in Tennessee. It is a great organization. It was a privilege to work for them the short time I was there.
"But Mike [Munchak] has a coaching staff, and a good coaching staff. So it is time for me to find something else."
Moore didn't mention any specific possibilities, but there just so happens to be a team that just lost an offensive coordinator, which just so happens to employ a quarterback Moore is familiar with. Moore has only the thinnest background working with Denver coach John Fox, as they were with the Steelers together in 1989. But since the Broncos catered the offense to Peyton Manning this year anyway under now-Chargers head coach Mike McCoy, and Moore called that offense with the Colts, it's simply a logical step to make.
But Moore wants everyone with an opening to know he's available.
"I'd like to get a job as an offensive coordinator in the National Football League. I don't know if that is going to transpire or if that is going to happen, but that's what I want to do. I don't want it to be a deep, dark secret," he said. "If it doesn't, I certainly haven't been cheated, but that is what I would like to do. Anyone that's open, I'm interested."
Moore said he played golf with Bengals coach Tuesday, but the Bengals don't have an opening yet (though coordinator Jay Gruden has made the interview rounds).
"I am still young by my standards, so I can do it. I'm a young 74," Moore said. "You have to do something worthwhile in your life, and I feel I have some things to offer.
"I am not going to sit around in good health and good mind and vegetate and not be able to do something productive. Hopefully somebody will give me a shot."
Again, Fox might not have any interest in Moore. But some fits just seem so natural and make too much sense to not consider.

Updated: The text messages were sent from Tamerlan's mother to other family members about Tamerlan.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev had sent text messages to his mother stating that he was willing to die for Islam as early as 2011, according to two sources with knowledge of the the FBI's breifing on Capitol Hill.
Charges were officially filed against younger brother Dzhokhar on Sunday by federal District Court Judge Marianne Bowler.
"Two officials with knowledge of the FBI briefing on Capitol Hill said the FBI was against stopping the investigators' questioning and was stunned that the judge, Justice Department prosecutors and public defenders showed up, feeling valuable intelligence may have been sacrificed as a result."

It's that time of year again folks, Google are going to update their Nexus line of smartphones and tablets, if you remember the ludicrous amount of leaks last year, before we heard any official announcement, you'll remember it went on for a while. Well, it doesn't look like this year is going to be any different.
The soon to be released Google flagship, undeniably looks a lot like this year's Moto X, with Motorola rumoured to be the manufacturer of choice, it's not hard to see why, the alleged Nexus 6 has a sharper edge at the bottom versus the 2014 Moto X.
This leak comes courtesy of supposedly retired leaker @evleaks. The Nexus 6 or Motorola Shamu, as it has been code-named will purportedly sport a 5.9 inch quad HD screen, that's a resolution of 2560 x 1440, as well as a Snapdragon 805 chipset and a 13 megapixel shooter round the back with OIS.
The rumour has it that Google is going to unveil the next Android version codename Licorice sometime this month along with a couple of new Nexus devices.

Ambassador University Corporation
Arrangements to set up an educational system for Ambassador University
Corporation have started as early as 1996. The University was established as a
branch specializing in higher studies for UDEX University & Learning
Association, Ambassador University Corporation, American International
University, and Arabian-American Academy for Practical Science and Approval
Degrees Association in Oregon, USA. Particularly with regard to Arabian-American
studies. As such, Ambassador University Corporation is a private non-profit
educational establishment licensed by the Commonwealth of Dominica. It was
registered under ref. No. 10004. This has been achieved through efforts exerted
by a number of academicians who believed in its mission and discovered that it
would be beneficial to all researchers who are willing to enrich their
studies/researches with higher certificates signifying their distinguished
status and innovations. Ambassador University Corporation, UDEX University &
Learning Association, American International University, Arabian-American
Academy for Practical Science are considered to be a single university operating
under the umbrella of UDEX administratively, financially and investment wise.
They also function under the academic umbrella of Ambassador University
Corporation. The name of Ambassador University Corporation originates from:
This is because the owner of these universities and organizations works as an
Ambassador of Good Will in one of the Caribbean Islands Commonwealth.
This is the fundamental activity of the project.
This is because there are several universities, 3 or 4 universities belonging to
the same owner. Also, these universities have been amalgamated educationally and
academically. Subsequently, the connotation of the word derived: union or
cooperation or partnership / Company. All the meanings may serve the purpose.
The University works hard to spread knowledge & education through publishing
researches and studies presented to it upon consent of owners. This trend
fulfills one of its important objectives for which it was established i.e.
contributing in uplifting the nation. The University will also strive to
conclude agreements with supportive parties or laboratories of scientific
researches, owners of some educational researches, European, American and
Arabian institutes enabling them to develop and market their researches.
All of which are non-profit organizations and were established in the object
of developing the criterion which distant education organizations may apply and
based of which evaluation may be conducted. They are also related to quality of
education services, educational criterion and morals of work that they produce.
Ambassador University Corporation will pursue its efforts to obtain
international recognitions/approvals which would consolidate its certificates
around the world. At the present stage its target will not be merely to obtain
recognition of the ministries of higher education in all international states
specially the Arab countries because most of them have not yet set up criteria
to accommodate distant education organizations.
This University adopts higher methods and criteria of European and American
model for research degrees. Ambassador University Corporation cooperates with
UDEX University & Learning Association and the Approval Degrees Association
through which students researches & thesis are approved. The University will
spare no effort to obtain membership with other prominent university unions
around the world. It will also work to ensure academic and cultural agreements
with certain international, American, European, Arabian universities and

When Abel Ferrara began making a directorial name for himself in the early 1980's, it was as a bad-boy filmmaker with tastes for lurid sex, gritty violence and gripping, stylish stories of life in the fast lane going wrong. It's a sign of the times that Mr. Ferrara, whose cinematic obsessions have barely changed, has come to seem positively tame. But even though the threshold for on-screen exploitativeness has been raised ever higher, this filmmaker's work still retains its peculiar innocence. Nobody could have made ''Bad Lieutenant'' without taking it to heart.
Sleaze notwithstanding, Mr. Ferrara's work hews firmly to its own ideas of purity. He continues to encourage stony leading men toward remarkable feats of self-flagellation, and to have faith in the ability of kinky eroticism to settle most situations.
After ''The Blackout,'' which surfaced at Cannes in 1997 and confirmed that his tastes had not remotely changed, Mr. Ferrara is back with ''New Rose Hotel.'' As written by the director with Christ Zois, it is adapted from a story by William Gibson and affirms that soft-core porn is alive and well in cyberpunk.
Willem Dafoe and Christopher Walken are Exhibits A and B this time, allowing themselves to be drawn into the steamy turmoil of Mr. Ferrara's world. In a story that involves corporate intrigue, they play spies trying to seduce a Japanese geneticist with the help of one of those compliant, dreamy prostitutes (Asia Argento) who loom so large in the filmmaker's imagination. As ever in Mr. Ferrara's films, the steam is on, the ridiculous only is at arm's length and the credits are intriguing. The musicians Ryuichi Sakamoto (who won an Oscar for ''The Last Emperor'') and John Lurie turn up in the cast, as does Annabella Sciorra. The geneticist in this international tale is played by Yoshitaka Amano, a big man in the world of designing video games.
''New Rose Hotel'' is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It includes profanity, nudity, sex, violence and decadent situations. It couldn't exist without them.
Directed by Abel Ferrara; written by Mr. Ferrara and Christ Zois, based on the short story by William Gibson; director of photography, Ken Kelsch; edited by Anthony Redman; music by Schoolly D; produced by Edward R. Pressman; released by Avalanche Releasing. At the Cinema Village, 22 East 12th Street, Greenwich Village. Running time: 93 minutes. This film is rated R.Continue reading the main story
WITH: Willem Dafoe (X), Christopher Walken (Fox), Asia Argento (Sandi), Yoshitaka Amano (Hiroshi), Annabella Sciorra (Madame Rosa), John Lurie (Distinguished Man) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (Hiroshi's Executive).Continue reading the main story

Few days ago, I was working on a project that was a website for a training center. Website required to have random quotes. Because I managed to make it different, I thought it's good to share it. When it comes to websites, my default option is Dotnetnuke. I used to work with DNN since version 3, so it's quite easy for me to do things with it. Sometimes I find people(developers) having a little doubt about Dnn, but as I noticed, for most of them it's because they don't know how to use or they had misconceptions about DNN. Once I had the chance to present to them, I saw they change their minds about it :).
There are a lot of free DNN modules developed by core members or other developers, you can find most of them on Codeplex using Dotnetnuke key in search criteria, or you can go to Dotetnuke Forge. If none of them helps what you are looking for, it's quite easy to develop one of your own. You can start by using Christoc's module template.
I think the last option is developing a new module, because even if your need is special, you should check if there is a free module that provides the funcionality or can be configured to achieve your needs. At least you can go to Dotnetnuke Store and buy one :). In this blog post, I'll try to give you a 'simple view' how you can use Form and List Module to create random quotes. Our scenario is to publish guests reviews in our site as random quotes. The fields that we should defined are: Name (name of guest), Title (ie. student, trainer), Photo (guest's photo) and Review. So it's going to be something like this:
OK, here we go, let's say we've already downloaded and installed latest version of DNN FNL Module(we can also use another version), add an instance of FNL module to a page and go to Form and List Configuration found under Action Menu. We start by clicking Add New Column button and for each field we follow instruction below and click Save button.
Type: Text
Title: Title
Help Text: Enter title.
Required: Checked
Type: Text
Title: Name
Help Text: Enter guest name.
Required: Checked
Type: Image
Title: Photo
Help Text: Upload guest's photo
Required: Checked
Type: Rich Text (Html)
Title: Review
Help Text: Enter guest review.
Required: Checked
Now that fields are defined, we are ready to go to Rendering Method and select XSL option, after that, under XSL Script click Generate button and new screen is going to be shown. Because we want to list all reviews in unordered list element, let's select Undordered List option at List Type. If everything was OK, we should see in editor that module has generated for us following html:

[UDT:EditLink];
Let's design it and make it looks better:

[Photo]
[Name]

Let's click Generate from HTML Template button, save the XSLT file and Save Configuration and Return. Now, if we click Add New Record, we will see the entry form.
For our demo purpose, we just put some reviews, 3-4 entries are enough.
In order to style our unordered list elements, we can open our XSL file we saved earlier. The default path is \Portals\XslStyleSheets. We can simply use a text editor to open the file, we are going to use VS2010 to open it. We should find unordered list opening tag
 that is under currentData variable and add id="randomquote", now it should be
. We will use ID selector to style and manipulate with css and js respectively. Save the file and go to Stylesheet Editor that is under Admin -> Site Settings. Put the following code in the editor and click Save Style Sheet.
#randomquote{ border:1px solid #F2F2F0;
background-image: linear-gradient(right , rgb(222,222,220) 0%, rgb(255,255,255) 61%);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(right , rgb(222,222,220) 0%, rgb(255,255,255) 61%);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(right , rgb(222,222,220) 0%, rgb(255,255,255) 61%);
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(right , rgb(222,222,220) 0%, rgb(255,255,255) 61%);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(right , rgb(222,222,220) 0%, rgb(255,255,255) 61%);
margin:0 0 16px 0;padding: 20px 0;}
#randomquote li {display:none;}
#randomquote li img {float:left;margin:0 20px;}
#randomquote li h3 {color:#820A32;margin:0;}
#randomquote li small {margin-bottom:5px;}
#randomquote li p {margin:0 20px;}
As we can notice, we set display:none to list items, we will talk about it later.
Now we have styled our unorederd list items, we can start adding javascript to manipulate it. After googling for a jQuery plugin that generates random number for a range of elements, I found this article very helpful http://www.yelotofu.com/2008/08/jquery-shuffle-plugin/. Basically, it shuffles list items randomly and it's perfectly OK for our scenario. We should download the plugin mentioned in the article (here is the link http://yelotofu.com/labs/jquery/snippets/shuffle/jquery.shuffle.js) and put in portal root folder \Portals\, add the reference of js file in Page Header Tags that is under Page Settings and call shuffle function.
Shuffle function is going to randomize list items, we styled early list items to display:none in order to make them invisible until shuffle will be finished, and now we can use CSS and jQuery power to select first list item ul#randomquote li:first-child and make it visible $('ul#randomquote li:first-child').css("display", "list-item");
Now, if you refresh the page you will see how list items are going to be shown randomly. If there will be too many reviews, you can go to Form and List Configuration and set to 10 Records Returned and you will see randomly only 10 top reviews.
I hope you enjoy reading this post and no doubt, it's not perfectly written and described, you can help me with your comments, suggestions and shares.
Here you can find a short screen cast how it worked for me 🙂

By Sylvia Longmire
The news emerging from Mexico on August 24, 2012, sounded more like narrative from a spy thriller than the usual reports of shootings, body dumps, and decapitations. Initial reports were foggy, but it was sounding more and more like two Americans assigned to the US Embassy had been ambushed by criminals while on their way to a Mexican naval training base. As more details started trickling in, the scenario became more and more disturbing; the Embassy employees were actually CIA agents on a joint counterdrug mission, and their attackers were Mexican federal police officers.
Making matters worse is the fact that the agents, along with a Mexican naval officer, were unarmed and traveling in a heavily armored SUV clearly bearing diplomatic license plates—something that was impossible for the attackers to miss. Mexican government officials claim it was "an accident" and a "case of mistaken identity," as the 12 officers involved were supposedly in the area hunting down kidnappers. Yet, they were all wearing civilian clothes, traveling in different unmarked cars, and not carrying their standard-issue weapons, if the AK-47 shell casings found at the scene of the shooting are any indication of what they were carrying.
Several journalists from both Mexican and American news outlets have interviewed witnesses and residents in the small town where this occurred just north of Cuernavaca, and they all said the same thing: everyone knows the federal police in that area are working with the cartels. Some witnesses also said that the CIA agents traveled that road frequently, and people had become used to seeing armored vehicles with the diplomatic plates, making the case of mistaken identity harder to swallow.
It's becoming harder and harder to argue that the agents weren't specifically targeted by a criminal group in the area, perhaps not to kill them outright, but to send a very strong message. But why would Mexican drug traffickers violate an old unspoken rule about avoiding confrontations with US agents because of the negative consequences they tend to bring? History tells us this wouldn't be the first time this has happened, or even the second.
During a November 1999 afternoon, FBI agent Daniel Fuentes and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Joe DuBois were driving through the northeast Mexican city of Matamoros in a white Ford Bronco bearing diplomatic license plates. In the back of the Bronco was an informant; a Mexican reporter who was showing the agents various cartel members' homes in the area, as well as stash houses were illegal drugs were kept prior to being smuggled into the US. One of those homes belonged to the notorious Osiel Cárdenas Guillen, head of the Gulf cartel at the time.
Shortly after the three men drove by, they picked up a tail, were boxed in and forced to stop. Cárdenas himself emerged from one of the vehicles and approached the Bronco. He demanded that the agents surrender and turn over the informant, and the agents refused after Fuentes clearly identified himself as FBI. Cárdenas also clearly indicated he didn't care who the agents were. After DuBois calmly explained at length what the consequences would be if he and Fuentes were killed—referring to the full might of US law enforcement—Cárdenas gave the order to his men to lower their weapons.
Fast-forward 12 years later to February 15, 2011. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila were on their way back to Mexico City after meeting with ICE staff in Monterrey, where they were picking up some "sensitive equipment" for transport. They were driving in an armored Chevrolet Suburban with diplomatic license plates when two vehicles filled with members of Los Zetas boxed them in and forced off the road. Hoping that their status as US law enforcement agents would prevent a violent confrontation, Zapata and Avila cracked the window, showed their identification and repeated that they were Americans and diplomats. The attackers used expletives in their "we don't care" response, shoved an automatic rifle through the window crack, and started to fire. Both agents were hit, Zapata fatally.
Three deadly incidents in Mexico involving US agents under diplomatic cover over the span of 13 years doesn't seem like much. However, the last two in particular are real cause for concern. Agents Fuentes and DuBois were armed, if severely outgunned, back in 1999. These days, US personnel in Mexico aren't authorized to carry firearms of any kind. Zapata, Avila, Garner, and Boss were all in fully armored SUVs with clearly identifiable diplomatic license plates. However, their attackers—regardless of cartel or law enforcement affiliation—clearly did not care that these men were US government representatives.
So what do US officials traveling in Mexico need to start doing to protect themselves, if armored cars are acting more as a target than a deterrent? Should they travel in convoys, like in Iraq and Afghanistan? President Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano made it clear they would not be revising their policy of prohibiting US personnel from carrying weapons in Mexico. Should they avoid driving on Mexican highways altogether? It's still unclear 18 months later why Zapata and Avila were making a 20-hour round-trip drive through very dangerous cartel territory instead of flying, unless the "sensitive equipment" they were picking up couldn't be transported by plane.
US agents working for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have been working in Mexico alongside Mexican authorities for decades, so they understand the ebb and flow of the security situation in different parts of Mexico. But now Mexican law prohibits these agents from carrying weapons to defend themselves in dangerous situations. Two weeks after ICE agent Zapata was killed, both President Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderón said US agents in Mexico would remain unarmed. In July 2012, Mexican President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto said in an interview that he was ruling out the possibility of changing this policy.
This latest incident clearly highlights the real threats to American agents operating in Mexico, regardless of whether they're there to train others, act as liaisons, or work at diplomatic facilities. Not only can they not rely on Mexican law enforcement for protection; now they have to protect themselves from corrupt police. While the evidence isn't conclusive that US agents are being deliberately and systematically targeted by crime groups (yet), it is clear that their ability to conduct their various missions in Mexico is being directly impacted by cartel operations.
Just being American is no longer the shield against cartel violence that it used to be, and the unwillingness of Obama and Napolitano to press the Mexican government to allow US agents to defend themselves with more than just harsh language is unacceptable. The level of financial, logistical, and training support the US government is providing Mexico should be leveraged to fight for the ability of agents to arm themselves, and travel in American-manned armored motorcades if necessary. Unless more aggressive security procedures like these are followed, our diplomatic and law enforcement personnel operating south of the border will be viewed by cartels like they are by terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan—sitting ducks.

Why you really do need eight hours of sleep
People who get by on just a few hours of shut-eye each night may be more tired than they think, research claims.
A University of Utah study has looked at patterns of neural connections in the brains of "habitual short sleepers".
The researchers compared people who had a normal amount of sleep (eight hours) in the past month with those who reported sleeping six hours or less.
They divided the short sleepers into two groups; those who reported daytime dysfunction – such as feeling too drowsy to perform common tasks with those who reported feeling OK.
In their results, the researchers claim both groups of short sleepers exhibited connectivity patterns more typical of sleep than wakefulness while in the MRI scanner.
And although the participants were instructed to stay awake in the scanner, some short sleepers may have briefly drifted off – even those who claimed they don't get tired on little sleep.
Study co-author Professor Paula Williams said that short sleepers who denied they were tired showed enhanced connectivity between sensory cortices, which process external sensory information, and the hippocampus, a region associated with memory.
"That's tantalising because it suggests that maybe one of the things the short sleepers are doing in the scanner is performing memory consolidation more efficiently than non-short sleepers," she said.
In other words, some short sleepers may be able to perform sleep-like memory consolidation and brain tasks throughout the day, reducing their need for sleep at night.
Or they may be falling asleep during the day without realising it.
The researchers hope to conduct further investigation into whether short sleepers who deny dysfunction are actually doing fine.
"We are particularly interested in understanding the discrepancy between people's perception of their functioning and how they're actually functioning. Not everyone is equally accurate," said Professor Williams.
The findings were published by the journal Brain and Behaviour.

We just spent the last two weeks at Mueller State Park in Divide, Colorado with the first week dedicated to our grandson Caleb, and then the next week to our granddaughter Ella.
We had so much fun seeing the sites, doing crafts, fishing, hiking, playing games, and plain old-fashioned camping!
There is so much to see and do in the area and for the past two years we have covered just about all of the sites in the Colorado Springs, Divide area. And for the past two years we have been witness to tragic wild fires while camping. Thankfully, the campground was not affected, but there were times the smoke was present. We feel so sad for those who lost their homes or were displaced, and even suffered a loss of life.
The pictures tell the story way, way better than I can begin to….hope you enjoy them as much as we did making them!
We leave for Glacier National Park and our camp hosting assignment the first part of July and since we are "on the road" nine months of the year, we truly look forward to our time catching up with family and friends from May until July, given we won't see them again until the holidays.
If you are in Montana and the general area of Glacier, please stop by and say hello. We will be in the Apgar campground, Site A2 from July 25 to October 1.

UNATTACHED former Hamilton Accies and St Mirren forward Dougie Imrie has linked up with the Morton squad for pre-season training, the Tele can exclusively reveal.
Imrie started his career with junior outfit Lanark United and earned a move to the senior ranks with Clyde in 2006.
He then had spells with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hamilton, both of whom paid five-figure transfer fees to secure his signature.
Ton's Renfrewshire rivals St Mirren were his next port of call when manager Danny Lennon shelled out �35,000 to take him to Paisley in January last year. But after 44 appearances and three goals in his 16 months at St Mirren Park his contract was terminated by mutual consent last month.
Interest in the 29-year-old is thought to be high, with Dundee and clubs in England believed to be monitoring his situation. Ton boss Allan Moore invited Imrie to train with his side in the hope that being around the club could prove an advantage in enticing the player to join for next season.
He told the Tele: "Dougie's in training with us but I wouldn't class him as a trialist because he's a very good player.
"He's not decided where he wants to go, so we invited him down because then we can have him in with us looking at our set-up, our training facilities and the way me and Nally [Mark McNally] work.
"I think that would mean we would have a better chance of getting him, and he's certainly somebody I'd like to bring on board, there's no doubt about that.
"He can play left wing, he can play right wing, he can play up front, and all I've heard are good things about him, from Danny Lennon at St Mirren and other folk." Moore will be hoping it's second time lucky where Imrie is concerned after he failed in a bid to sign him for Stirling Albion back in 2006.
He added: "He came to Stirling when I was the manager and played one of the best trial matches I've ever seen. He was junior at the time. His touch was great, he was going past people, and big Nally came over to watch the last part of the game after taking some of the boys for training.
"I said to him, 'this boy's good, I just don't know if he's got a goal in him.' The next minute he controlled the ball with his right thigh and smashed it into the bottom corner with his left foot. Right away Nally said: 'I think that answers your question.' I tried to get him to sign for Stirling after that but Clyde offered him a better deal, unfortunately.
"He kicked on from there and established himself as a pro. And that's the thing with Dougie, he has the hunger because he was late coming into the game, which I had myself and big Andy Graham has.
"Some boys get it easy and they don't have that hunger. But Dougie's always had that because he had to work his socks off in the juniors to get to where he is now. He's always retained that sort of hunger. You can see it in his training. He trains hard and doesn't come in and mess about.
"He shows a good attitude with the younger players, and that's important with us trying to bring through young boys.
"Dougie would be a good signing, there's no doubt about it, but I think Dundee and a couple of other teams might be interested. I'm not sure if he's keen on the travelling so we'll see what develops."

Looking at John Stewart's pictures, what first comes to mind is the word stillness. None of the French equivalents found in the dictionary are quite right: stillness is not immobility, nor calm. Within this stillness there is the tension of time, a contained vibration; its deafening silence is the silence that follows an explosion. Where does this stillness come from, what is it made of ?
Jonathan Littell


text: Empowering women, feeding children Could putting land into the hands of women be the solution to the scourge of child malnutrition in India? Sunil Kumar and Sanjay Patnak11 May 2012 19:16 GMT Ghana, India, Nepal, Rwanda Women provide about one-third of India's agricultural labour but own just 11 per cent of the land [EPA]A new report indicates that despite India's robust GDP growth (last year's rate was eight to nine per cent) the country's children remain haunted by an age-old scourge - malnutrition. A new UNICEF report found that more than half of all Indian girls aged 15 to 19 are anemic. This follows a host of previous - and just as devastating - studies and makes clear, in the Indian context, that a healthy economy does not necessarily mean healthy children. This is not just a problem for India's poor. It puts all of India at risk because when children are malnourished they are at severe risk of reduced health and mental capacity. These deficiencies cost India, in economic terms, an estimated $28bn per year. There is growing evidence that the solution may be addressing another age-old scourge - the low status of women. Specifically, research indicates that the path forward may be providing India's mothers with more control over resources, both land and money, to ensure that their children's needs are met. Currently, although Indian women provide about one-third of the agricultural labour, they own only 11 per cent of the land, leaving them with little in the way of resources to leverage to meet their children's needs. Understanding this allows India to craft targeted and effective responses to this crisis.While government programmes that provide free food and vitamins will surely help, what may help fill dinner pots and children's bellies in the long-run is improving the status of women and expanding the resources they can draw from. This means recognising that women often have no legal control over the land they farm with their husband and therefore cannot lay claim to any of the income produced on that land, even if it is gained through their own labour. There is an increasing body of research that points to the way forward: A study in Nepal found that children are less likely to be underweight if their mother owned land. And a study in Ghana found that families allocate a larger proportion of their household budget to food when the woman owns a larger share of the household's farmland. We have also seen it in our work from Rwanda to India that when women have secure rights to the land, either jointly with their husband or on their own, there are improved educational outcomes, nutrition and health. Across India, national and many state governments from Odisha to West Bengal, already recognise this and are working to put a powerful asset - land - into the hands of women. This will allow India's mothers to ensure a better future for their children and their country. Sunil Kumar and Sanjay Patnak are state directors in Andra Pradesh and Odisha respectively for Landesa, a global development non-profit that works to secure land rights for the world's poor.

As the British Institute of Customer Service said, customer service quality greatly impacts buying decisions.
Almost two-thirds of consumers (58%) refused services/goods because of poor service. More than three quarters of them (77%) said that when faced with poor service, they avoid using the company's services again if there is a choice. On the other hand, 63% of consumers who had a positive service experience were ready to use the services/goods of the company again and again.
"Quality customer service is well rewarded. Most consumers search for a balance between service quality and price. But about a quarter of customers (23%) are willing to pay extra – 10% on average – for better service," said Jo Causon, Institute of Customer Service CEO.
Customers use a wide variety of methods and devices to deal with companies both electronically and personally," Causon said. "The value of the recommendations in this new environment is more important now than ever, since consumers get information at their fingertips via smart phone or a tablet. Often there is a wide range of options which allow them to 'slam the door' if they are not satisfied."

BRUSSELS—European Union foreign ministers have launched a plea for Russia to free a Ukrainian air force officer who has been on hunger strike in a Russian prison.
Fourteen EU ministers and the French ambassador on Monday held pictures of Nadezhda Savchenko and urged Russian authorities to free the "illegally abducted Ukrainian pilot."
The rare initiative took place on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels. Savchenko, who was captured in June, is in prison awaiting trial on charges of involvement in the deaths of two Russian journalists killed during the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
She has been on hunger strike for almost two months and concerns are growing for her health.
Savchenko was elected to the Ukrainian parliament in October while in jail in Russia.

Just for Kicks - [High school AU, NaruSasu, WIP] One school year. Six soccer teams. And one chance to be the successor to Japan's national soccer team. However, not everyone will play clean for a chance of a lifetime. Winning it all is one thing – surviving long enough to do so, is another.
Fanning the Flames - [NaruSasu, WIP] Series of NaruSasu ficlets, most of which are pure crack. Watch out for the occasional innuendo and bad joke. And much, much, mental scarring.
Original Characters/Self-inserts
Original characters and self-inserts I'm not too fond of myself (though it's a different matter when it comes to original fiction, where slightly different parameters are set), but I sometimes do commissions for stories and stuff when my friends ask, and it gives me a chance to work with the canon characters and their personalities in a alternate universe.

After all, it's not like he really cared about it in the first place…
