Our emergency international delegation to
We started out with a briefing by the Network of Sustainable Development (Red de Desarrollo Sostenible) a 15-year-old organization devoted to the exchange of information about sustainable development. It has now become a center for exchanging information about the coup. Using blogspot, facebook, twitter, myspace, flickr and youtube, the Network's network is abuzz with hour-by-hour accounts of political developments. Their communication system has become a critical way for Hondurans to get information, since the coup leaders have muzzled the press.
The Network has a history of being objective and staying above politics, but the staff is outraged by the coup. "This was just over the top," said National Coordinator Raquel Isaura, who is being targeted by the right for some anti-coup internet messages posted under her name. "A military coup in this day and age must be condemned by all sectors of civil society."
Like many Hondurans, Network Director Candalario Reyes Garcia is deeply worried about the future. "In the 80s we were terrorized by the death squads called Batallion 316. These same death squad leaders are still in the military today and if they take control of this country, we're in for some truly dark days ahead."
Demonstrations against the coup have been taking place all over the country, but they are not reported in the news and protesters are beaten and tear-gassed by the military. Some movement leaders have been arrested, others are in hiding. The military has also prevented demonstrators from converging on the capital,
When I asked Colindres why his group supported Zelaya, he said that for the first time in decades, the government of President Zelaya increased the budget for public universities and increased scholarships for the students. "We have a lot of poor students who were helped by this government. We don't want the elite to take back the government and use it, as they have in the past, to enrich themselves and impoverish the people."
Our last visit of the day, which went on for hours, was a fascinating gathering with members of the indigenous community, Lencas and Garifanos. This group was lucky to have made it to the capital, where they are camping out in a school auditorium. Entire families, from babies to grandmas, participate in roving protests every day. They keep moving so the military doesn't know where they will be from one day to the next.
One by one, these very humble and poor people told us about their situation, their beliefs, their fears and their dreams. Valentina Dominquez, a primary school teacher, said, "Our people are suffering from poverty, and President Zelaya tried to help. He raised the minimum wage and in the schools, he made sure that all the children were given snacks. He made school registration free and increased programs to help the 20% of Hondurans who don't know how to read or write. That's why we made our way to
Teresa Reyes, with the organization of black Hondurans called OFRANEH, said this new regime was terrorizing the people. "On the day of the coup, they cut the electricity, blacked out the news, and told us not to leave our houses. We were scared, we are scared, and we're exhausted—some of us have been walking for days to get here. But even so, we were determined to keep protesting."

The book, The Life-Story of a Kenya Chief : The Life of Chief Kasina Ndoo (as told to J.B. Carson), was published and printed in the year 1958.
The book appears to have been published by London Evans Brothers Limited in Association with the East African Literature Bureau. The physical printing and binding appears to have been conducted in England by Hazell Watson and Viney Ltd Aylesbury and Slough.
The book itself is somewhat rare and the only online locale or vendor, that I can find, presently selling the book is Amazon.com. Amazon member FREDRICK MUTOONI is offering the book for $300.00 US dollars.
I own the book (no, I did not buy Mutooni's) and have it in my personal possession. Mine is, however, missing all of chapter three, or pages 23 thru 26.
The book itself contains, at least, 433 words which exhibit examples of kerning in which ascenders (the part of a letter that extends above the main part such as the tops of b,d,f,h,k and l) hang over an adjacent letter.
The book itself contains, at least, 29 words which exhibit examples of kerning in which descenders (the part of a letter that extends below the level of its base such as the bottoms of g,j,y,q and p) hang under an adjacent letter.
In my previous report, Typography, Act Three: ascenders and descenders. (Definitive proof that Dr. Conspiracy is full of ordure)., I offered what I called the 'Obot/Birther Challenge'. Two groups of words were provided. One group was called 'ascenders' and another group was called 'descenders'.
I asked participants to tell me whether or not each word, individually, contained an example (or examples) of kerning in which the ascenders hung over adjacent letter and descenders under adjacent letters. It appears that only two individuals posted their findings and those individuals were Bruce [Steadman] and Gordon (I don't think he is Gordon Epperly but I suppose it is possible).
Bruce and Gordon both concurred that the sort kerning described above could be observed in all of the words and in both of the groups.
Bruce and Gordon are, indeed, categorically correct.
The words, in both groups, were scanned from the book, The Life-Story of a Kenya Chief : The Life of Chief Kasina Ndoo, which was printed and bound in the year 1958, approximately three (3) years before Barack Hussein Obama II's Coast Province General Hospital (CPGH), Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya, Certificate of Birth (1961) was issued.
A couple of years ago Dr. Conspiracy wrote, with the aid of a furtive and seemingly delusive and self-proclaimed pressman (calls himself "Sean" and has a friend named "Howling Coyote") with a curriculum vitae supposedly dating to the 1950s, that Obama's 1961 CPGH Kenyan certificate of birth is a forgery on grounds that the document contains, in their opinion, an example of kerning in which the descender of the letter y hangs under the letter n in the word Kenya.
It is the position of Dr. Conspiracy, 'Sean' and 'Howling Coyote' that such kerning was not yet possible in 1961. Dr. Conspiracy's cowplops (03.15.2011 & 03.19.2011) are linked directly below:
Typography on the Lucas Smith Kenyan birth certificate
Typography on the Lucas Smith Kenyan birth certificate – 2nd half
The kerning in question was that of the y and the n in Kenya:
I'm not sure whether or not the descender of the y really does, or doesn't, hang under the n in the Kenya. The document is a 2009 certified copy of an original 1961 document and is, to some extent, blurry and askew. It could go either way I suppose, 50/50.
What I have ascertained though is that Dr. Conspiracy and the furtive and self-proclaimed pressman/men had nearly absolutely no idea what they were talking about.
Examples of kerning in which descenders hang under adjacent letter are exhibited in Chief Kasina Ndoo's book, which was printed in 1958, and are as follows:
Page 7. Major-General Sir Edward Northey (a-j)
Page 11. Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh (Q-u)
Page 11. King George and the Queen Mother (Q-u)
Page 17. nyama yangu (lower case) (n-y)
Page 19. Major Montgomery (a-j)
Page 19. Major Montgomery (a-j)
Page 19. Bajun girl (a-j)
Page 20. Major (a-j)

Page 21. Sergeant-Major (a-j)
Page 21. Wajir (a-j)
Page 21. Sergeant-Major (a-j)
Page 22. Wajir (a-j)

Page 27. Major-General Moorhead (a-j)

Page 29. major (lower case) (a-j)
Page 33. Coronation of Princess Elizabeth as Queen (Q-u)
Page 34. Major Goldsworthy (a-j)
Page 35. God save the Queen (Q-u)
Page 35. Queen (Q-u)
Page 36. Queen of Tonga (Q-u)
Page 36. Queen (Q-u)
Page 36. Queen (Q-u)
Page 37. Queen (Q-u)
Page 39. rejoin (lower case) (e-j)
Page 44. injured (lower case) (n-j)
Page 44. kibuyu (lower case) (u-y)
Examples, found in more than 400 words, of kerning in which ascenders hang over an adjacent letter in Chief Kasina Ndoo's book will not be listed within this report as they can be found on every single page and because there have been no accusations of such kerning on Barack Obama's 1961 CPGH Kenyan birth certificate. However, if readers would like examples they may see my previous report wherein examples are given in the group of scanned words listed under the heading titled, 'ascenders'.
The other day I digitized Chief Kasina Ndoo's book and have now uploaded it to my scribd.com account (Patriot1980). I have embedded the said upload below for review:
The Life-Story of a Kenya Chief : The Life of Chief Kasina Ndoo (as told to J.B. Carson) 1958. by Lucas Daniel Smith
One other notable, and useful, passage from the book is as follows:
Page 15 thru 16. "I am not quite sure of the date of my birth. In Ukamba we date things from the years of the famines, and I know that I was about ten years old at the time of the greatest of famines – the Nzaa wa Ngomanisye of 1898."
Some skeptics of Barack Obama's 1961 CPGH Kenyan birth certificate have made accusations that the document is a forgery on the grounds that it does not list a full date of birth (only the year is given) for Obama's father.
Conclusion: Kerning in which descenders and ascenders hang under and over adjacent letters was possible, and existed in printed matter such as books and documents, prior to the year 1961 when Barack Hussein Obama II's Coast Province General Hospital (CPGH), Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya, Certificate of Birth was issued.
I think it is very fitting that it turned out to be an esteemed Chief of Kenya, Kasina Ndoo, who has vindicated the typography and kerning on Barack Obama's 1961 CPGH birth certificate. Thank you, thank you very much Chief Kasina Ndoo.

Four members of a Japanese climbing team are presumed dead after an avalanche swept them off a hill on Mount McKinley.
US National Park Service officials say five people were traveling as one rope team early Thursday morning as part of a Miyagi Workers Alpine Federation expedition.
One team member, 69-year-old Hitoshi Ogi survived. Park Service spokeswoman Maureen McLaughlin said he fell 60 feet (18 meters) into a crevasse and climbed out.
The other four tumbled into the avalanche debris and haven't been seen since.
The climbers are presumed dead by either snow burial or injuries suffered in falls.
The Park Service says in a news release that nearly 400 mountaineers were making rescue attempts Saturday on the Alaska mountain's West Buttress. Snowfall and wind have impeded the search.
The four missing climbers are 64-year-old Yoshiaki Kato, 50-year-old Masako Suda, 56-year-old Michiko Suzuki, and 63-year-old Tamao Suzuki.
The climbers were attempting the busiest route during the height of mountaineering season.
Climbers attempted the West Buttress route on 92 percent of attempts on Mount McKinley in 2011.
Mount McKinley, also known as Denali, is America's tallest peak.

Militaristic Imperialism

| "Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization."
Z. Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard, 1998
Of the sixteen major civilizations which have existed in all of human history, ten are already dead, their cultures destroyed by their own defects. As Jakob Burckhardt reminded us in his Force and Freedom:"In history the way of annihilation is invariably prepared by inward degeneration . . . Only then can a shock from outside put an end to the whole."

|Commonwealth Polity
The barbarian invasions destroyed Classical Civilization in the period 350-700 A.D. Western Civilization created itself by drawing together elements from the barbarian tribes, the Roman world, the Saracen world, and the Judeo-Christian world. After passing through its period of gestation from 700-970 A.D., Western Civilization experienced four periods of expansion and conflict:
- 970-1440 -- Core Empire: England, 1420
- 1440-1815 -- Core Empire: France, 1810
- 1815-1945 -- Core Empire: Germany, 1940
- 1945-2012 -- Core Empire: United States, 2012
For the first time in history, Western Civilization now has a Universal Empire, with the United States attempting to dominate all of the modern world.
But, also for the first time in its history, Western Civilization is in danger of being destroyed internally by a corrupt, capitalist cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, Du Pont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well. This ruling syndicate took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century.
Members of the Bush family, beginning with Prescott Bush, have served as satraps of the Rockefeller, Brown, and Harriman interests. President Bush was simply a puppet of this powerful cabal, and their schemes will be carried out by all future American presidents unless we the people can deflect them from this insane, murderous plot for global dominance.
There are several major reasons why this demonic cabal is moving the United States toward destruction:
- The current ruling elite does not have the intellectual capability to understand the operating dynamics of the American culture
- This ruling echelon simply does not care if it pollutes the earth and destroys countless humans in its world imperialistic drive for wealth and power
- This cabal is obsessed to the point of blindness and criminality by egomaniacal greed
"To be an egoist refers not only to my behavior but to my character. It means: that I want every-thing for myself, that possessing, not sharing, gives me pleasure; that I must become greedy because if my aim is having, I am more the more I have; that I must feel antagonistic toward all others: my customers whom I want to deceive, my competitors whom I want to destroy, my workers whom I want to exploit. I can never be satisfied, because there is no end to my wishes; I must be envious of those who have more and afraid of those who have less. But I have to repress all these feelings in order to represent myself (to others as well as to myself) as the smiling, rational, sincere, kind human being everybody pretends to be."
Erich Fromm. To Have Or To Be?
Misunderstanding the Dynamics of American Culture
The American ruling elite maintains:
- That wealth and power are the most important human goals
- That "public officials are the masters of the people and that only under official orders may the workers live, work, and seek their salvation" 3
- That fascism can be imposed on America without destroying it
The demonic cabal believes America is great because it allows a few to amass wealth without regard for other people or the earth.
On the contrary, the reason America has risen to its eminent position among nations is its earlier dedication to constitutional liberties. Living as free men and women, Americans have been extraordinarily creative in every area of human life and the best among them have understood "how much of what they cherish as progressive has come by emancipation from political dominion, by the limitation of power, by the release of personal energy from authority and collective coercion." 4 No other nation on earth institutionalized the freedoms that Americans had, until recently, enjoyed.
"The distinctive character of Western Civilization rests on its Christian heritage, its scientific outlook, its humanitarian elements, and its distinctive point of view in regard to the rights of the individual and respect for women rather than in such material things as firearms, tractors, plumbing fixtures, or skyscrapers, all of which are exportable commodities."
Quigley, Carroll. Tragedy and Hope
Fascism Is Destroying America
As we've seen in the article on the growing police state in the United States, the capitalist cabal is rapidly attacking and undermining constitutional liberties. Fascists of all stripes believe "that the great mass of mankind is naturally docile; that, by exterminating the minority and drilling the mass, significant dissent will disappear. Hence the claim of the fascist states to an absolute monopoly of all agencies of education, intelligence and culture." 5
Fascism involves the intense militarization of a people for war. Fascism, in essence, is martial law and as such is contradictory to and destructive of democracy. As the full force of fascism is being brought to bear in the United States, through such measures as the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the country is rapidly turning into a Nazi Germany.
American citizens need to know the grand imperialist scheme that the capitalist cabal is carrying out. Only by understanding it fully will we be able to defeat this murderous plot of the plutocrats.
The imperialist schemers are so sure of themselves that they don't hesitate to publish their conspiracy plot to conquer the world politically, economically, and militarily. Mandarins such as Kissinger, Brzezinski, Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and a host of others, draw up the blueprints for a world police state. By studying their imperialist designs we can understand just how the demonic cabal plans to seize complete world dominance and maintain it.
In his 1998 book The Grand Chessboard, Brzezinski lays out the scheme in unvarnished terms.
"To put it in a terminology that hearkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together."
If you don't recognize your place in that schema, you're one of the barbarians. "Vassals" are the cabal puppets they put into power into such nations as Afghanistan and Egypt, and "tributaries" are lesser factotums such as the Saudi royals and the South American dictators (e.g. Colombia) the cabal puts into power.
The reason common citizens are considered by this junta to be "barbarians" is that we could prove recalcitrant and antagonistic to their plot to take away our constitutional liberties, our tax monies, and our very lives. As barbarians, we might even rise up and speak out against their fascist plunder and murder.
Just what is the first necessity for this grand imperialist scheme of world domination? The answer might surprise you.
"America's global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained." 6
Why Eurasia?
"A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent . . . About 75 percent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about 60 percent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources . . .
"Eurasia is also the location of most of the world's politically assertive and dynamic states. After the United States, the next six largest economies and the next six biggest spenders on military weaponry are located in Eurasia. All but one of the world's overt nuclear powers and all but one of the covert ones are located in Eurasia. The world's two most populous aspirants to regional hegemony and global influence are Eurasian. All of the potential political and/or economic challengers to American primacy are Eurasian." 7
Do you now see the significance of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? The "War on Terrorism" is an important part of this world dominance plot.
You'll notice that Brzezinski's "Eurasia" contains Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Far East.
"If the middle space can be drawn increasingly into the expanding orbit of the West (where America preponderates, if the southern region is not subjected to domination by a single player, and if the East is not unified in a manner that prompts the expulsion of America from its offshore bases, America can then be said to prevail. But if the middle space rebuffs the West, becomes an assertive single entity [Russia-China], and either gains control over the South or forms an alliance with the major Eastern actor [Japan], then America's primacy in Eurasia shrinks dramatically. The same would be the case if the two major Eastern players were somehow to unite. Finally, any ejection of America by its Western partners from its perch on the western periphery [NATO] would automatically spell the end of America's participation in the game on the Eurasian chessboard, even though that would probably also mean the eventual subordination of the western extremity to a revived player occupying the middle space." 8
If Eurasia is the chessboard on which the struggle for global primacy is to be played, then who are the key players? As in chess, there is a distinction between the major pieces (King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight) and the pawns. Brzezinski calls the major pieces "active geostrategic players" and the pawns "geopolitical pivots."
Active Geostrategic Players
Geopolitical Pivots
"Active geostrategic players are the states that have the capacity and
the national will to exercise power or influence beyond their borders in
order to alter--to a degree that affects America's interests--the existing
geopolitical state of affairs."
"Geopolitical pivots are the states whose importance is derived not
from their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive location
and from the consequences of their potentially vulnerable condition for
the behavior of geostrategic players."
France, Germany, Russia, China, India
(excluding Great Britain, Japan, Indonesia)
Ukraine, Azerbaijan, South Korea, Turkey, Iran
As we examine their world domination plot, it becomes clear that the demonic cabal considers all nations and people as mere pawns with which to play their game of global ascendance. No person or nation is important in their own right--only insofar as they contribute to or compete with the American imperialist junta.
"Britain . . . entertains no ambitious vision of Europe's future, and its relative decline has also reduced its capacity to play the traditional role of the European balancer. Its ambivalence regarding European unification and its attachment to a waning special relationship with America have made Great Britain increasingly irrelevant insofar as the major choices confronting Europe's future are concerned. London has largely dealt itself out of the European game." 9
What Brzezinski calls "geopolitical pivots" are pawns which serve some purpose in the demonic cabal's world dominance scheme.
"South Korea is a Far Eastern geopolitical pivot. Its close links to the United States enable America to shield Japan and thereby to keep Japan from becoming an independent and major military power, without an overbearing American presence within Japan itself. Any significant change in South Korea's status, either through unification and/or through a shift into an expanding Chinese sphere of influence, would necessarily alter dramatically America's role in the Far East, thus altering Japan's as well. In addition, South Korea's growing economic power also makes it a more important 'space' in its own right, control over which becomes increasingly valuable." 10
Upon examining the American plutocratic junta's "grand" scheme, we discover why the Bush administration established military bases in Kazakstan and Uzbekistan even before the Afghanistan war began and why the cabal established many military bases in Iraq.
"Of the five newly independent Central Asian states, Kazakstan and Uzbekistan are the most important.
Regionally, Kazakstan is the shield and Uzbekistan is the soul for the region's diverse national awakenings. Kazakstan's geographic size and location shelter the other from direct Russian physical pressure, since Kazakstan alone borders on Russia."
In a correlative article on oil imperialism, we saw that a major part of the overall world dominance strategy is:
- First, they sell armaments to a regime (for example, Panama, Iraq, Yugoslavia/Kosovo, Afghan/Pakistan/Taliban Mujaheddin, Saudi Arabia).
- Then, they demonize the regime to which they sold the armaments and declare war on it (e.g. Panama invasion, Gulf War, UN Kosovo war, Afghanistan war, war with Iraq).
- After the war, they station permanent military bases in the country and use the military bases to control the energy resources in the surrounding countries.
- They impose the current U.S. foreign policy doctrine called "full-spectrum dominance": the U.S. must control military, economic and political developments everywhere.
In The Grand Chessboard, 1998, Brzezinski reveals how the global dominance plot required something like 9/11.
"As America becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstances of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." 11
This sounds strikingly similar to a statement made by David Rockefeller:
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
James Madison, while a United States Congressman
As we examine this world dominance plot of the ruling American junta, it becomes clear why Bush attacked Afghanistan and contrived a second war with Iraq, how the capitalist cabal plans to contain Russia, China and Japan, and what this gang of thugs has in store for American citizens. The plan entails Americans losing their constitutional liberties because of the necessity of absolute control of the population. Brzezinski makes it clear that democracy and civil liberties will have to be sacrificed so the cabal's plans for world domination can go forward.
"The pursuit of power and especially the economic costs and human sacrifice that the exercise of such power often requires are not generally congenial to democratic instincts . . . Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization." 12
Another lackey of the demonic cabal earlier explained why loss of liberty by Americans is necessary to their schemes.
"Now let us suppose that the exigencies of the future, as we shall trace them out, point to the conclusion that only an authoritarian, or possibly only a revolutionary, regime will be capable of mounting the immense task of social reorganization needed to escape catastrophe. Might it not then be argued that the quasi-military devotion and sacrifice of such a task would be vitiated if the masses were exposed to the disagreements and diversions of intellectuals who strayed from, or opposed, the official line?"
Robert L. Heilbroner, An Inquiry Into the Human Prospect, 1974
In the world police state envisioned by the demonic cabal the masses are not to be exposed to the disagreements and diversions of intellectuals who stray from, or oppose, the official line.
This is not the first time that rulers of a nation have created insane schemes for world domination. The hubris of the cabal seems unbounded, as Dubya told the Palestinians to make a "regime change" or else American aid would be cut off, then demanded that Saddam Hussein surrender his weapons of mass destruction--or else. The "or else" turned out to be the video of Hussein on the end of a Shia rope displayed worldwide on YouTube! The cabal warned Mubarak to kowtow to their demands or else--and he was summarily deposed and now faces imprisonment. Obama told Qadaffi to surrender his nation to the capitalist cabal or face death--and we soon saw Qadaffi's corpse (as we had recently been witness to Ben Laden's). The cabal is now threatening death and destruction to Syria's Assad and the Mullah regime in Iran.
We must make certain that we do everything in our power to see that they fail in their scheme to destroy American constitutional liberties and impose a world police state.
"The road whereby mankind has advanced in knowledge, in the mastery of nature, in unity, and in personal security has lain through a progressive emancipation from the bondage of authority, monopoly, and special privilege. It has been through the release of human energy that men have lifted themselves above the primeval struggle for the bare necessities of existence; it has been by the removal of constraints that they have been able to adapt themselves to the life of great societies; it has been by the disestablishment of privilege that men have risen from the status of slaves, serfs, and subjects to that of free men inviolate in the ways of the spirit." 13
"But what more oft, in nations grown corrupt,
And by their vices brought to servitude,
Than to love bondage more than liberty --
Bondage with ease than strenuous liberty."
Milton, "Samson Agonistes"

As Florida released high school letter grades Tuesday, educators and students celebrated throughout Tampa Bay. Pinellas County went from having no A high schools last year to seven. Hillsborough went from two A high schools to eight, and Pasco went from none to two.
Yet, a change in how schools were graded this year makes year-to-year comparisons almost futile. Only half of a high school's grade was based on the old formula, which focused almost exclusively on FCAT scores. So a school may have improved or it may have worsened, but its change in letter grade this year is no sure indication of either.
For example, Largo High still earned a D, even though its performance on FCAT-related measures actually improved. Conversely, St. Petersburg's Gibbs High, the only F-rated high school in Pinellas last year, moved up to a C even though its number under the old measures stayed virtually the same.
The new grading system is a significant improvement on the old. In addition to FCAT scores, high schools are now measured by how many students they prepare for college by providing access to accelerated coursework such as International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement and dual-enrollment courses. The state also grades their graduation rates, giving extra weight to the percentage of at-risk students who earn a diploma.
In short, the state Department of Education is now measuring high schools in a different and better way, one that rewards high schools for encouraging high achievement in their students as well as basic competence.
The flaw in the new formula is that schools' grades are weighted simply for providing access to Advanced Placement and similar classes, rather than measuring how well students do in the class. That will change in coming years, as the state is expected to revise the formula to give equal weight to students' performance in those classes. That trend is in the right direction, but it needs to go further and give greater weight to success than to mere access. Providing access without demonstrating success is no formula for achievement.
So high schools celebrating this year's high grades can't rest. The measures will change again — less drastically, but for the better — as the state begins to grade on a tougher curve and becomes more stringent on how graduation rates are counted.
In order to earn a good grade next year, a high school will need to exceed its performance this year. It will need to have students not only taking higher-level classes but have more of them demonstrating that they know the material. There will be no easy A's next year.

Onslow deputies investigate infant's drowning
Posted February 2, 2009
Jacksonville, N.C. — Onslow County sheriff's deputies are investigating the drowning death of a 7-month-old boy Sunday at a home on Ben Williams Road.
The infant's father told investigators that he had put the boy and another child in the tub. When he went to check on them, the infant was under water. The father estimated that the child had been under water for eight minutes.
The infant was taken to Onslow Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Prince George's officials highlight domestic violence awareness
(WJLA) - Multiple agencies in Prince George's County spoke out Wednesday to end the silence often attached with domestic violence.
By taking a team approach, the goal is to make sure residents know about all of the resources they can turn to in a moment of crisis.
Eight years later, even with emotions still raw, Yvette Cade is a vision of strength. In 2005, an unthinkable crime changed her life.
"My ex-husband, after 10 months of separation, came to my job and set me on fire because I wanted nothing to do with him," said Cade.
While he sits behind bars, she shares her survival story, bringing greater awareness about domestic violence and guides others to seek help.
"If they had 2-1-1 for me when I was going through it, I would not be where I'm at," she said.
County leaders joined forces to let victims know they are not alone.
Tim Jansen, the executive director for Community Crisis Services, said, "2-1-1 is a service where folks can reach out and get information about a certain situation, talk to a supportive listener that's trained in how to talk to them to provide community resources."
Prince George's County Police say 20-percent of the homicides this year have been domestic-violence related. That statistic encouraged a countywide initiative for improvements, starting with prevention.
"We have centralized the domestic violence unit and have dedicated a team of 15 specially trained investigators to focus specifically on domestic violence," said Chief Mark Magaw.
This community outreach campaign to educate and inform rolled out during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but the work will continue beyond October.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in the Hospital Together for Shoulder Surgery
This was supposedly a total coincidence, but I'm not sure I buy it . . .
Arnold Schwarzenegger went into the hospital for shoulder surgery recently, and he ended up in a bed next to Sylvester Stallone – who also just happened to be having shoulder surgery at the same time.
Arnold posted a subtly homoerotic photo of the two of them, side-by-side in their beds, and shirtless.
And he said, "After all the action, stunts & physical abuse shooting "The Expendables 2" and 'The Last Stand', it was time for a little tune up on my shoulder.
"Look who was coincidentally waiting in line behind me for his shoulder surgery. Now we're ready for another round of great times and action when we shoot 'The Tomb '."

At 8:00pm, on Sunday August 24 exactly 16 days after the beginning of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Olympic Closing Ceremony began. Created by the famed Chinese director Zhang Yimou, the closing ceremony was an amazing spectacle and the perfect end to one of the most successful Olympics in modern Olympic history.
The closing ceremonies began with a countdown created from fireworks, followed by a performance that London, The 2012 host city, will be hard pressed to match. Jacques Rogge, the head of the International Olympic Committee called the 2008 Olympics "a truly exceptional games". Before handing over the Olympic flag to the mayor of London, a 28 member choir sung the British National Anthem. The highlight of the event was when a traditional London double-decker bus drove around the stadium surrounded by cyclists. The bus transformed itself into a stage and Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page performed "A Whole Lotta Love". David Beckham then kicked a soccer ball into the crowd. The Olympic Flame was then put out ending the most successful 2008 Olympic Games. China Odyssey Tours would like to come and visit Post-Olympic China. With us you are Never Alone in China.

Mohali, March 17 -- Coach is a confusing and alienating term for some in the Australia team set-up these days, especially those who turned up in Mickey Arthur's class without their homework. But it is drastically different for the raw and not-so-young pupils of the India team who see the national team as a finishing school.
It is not always Duncan Fletcher who greets them as they land at the training ground. In the Australia series, it is Indian cricket's real task master, Sachin Tendulkar, they all make a beeline to.
Tutoring mates
On the final leg of a glorious run, Tendulkar has taken on the role of a private tutor with zest. At the conditioning camp in Bangalore, Virat Kohli was glued to the batting great, hanging on to sage advice.
It has been no different since the series started. In Mohali, fresh from his brilliant 167 that helped sealed the Hyderabad Test, Murali Vijay was the willing student as Tendulkar walked into the batting net to demonstrate how to perfect his defensive bat swing. That work was put to use as Vijay made a soft killing, curbing his aggression to log 153.
As others celebrated Bhuvneshwar Kumar's third Aussie wicket on Sunday, Tendulkar was the stern teacher at the other end, this time explaining to Ishant Sharma what he must do to join the party. Shikhar Dhawan, after belting out the fastest ton by a debutant, spoke of Tendulkar's words of encouragement while handing over the Test cap.
But even the effort of the finest teachers can't help every student to come out in flying colours. He had long sessions with Harbhajan Singh, but he still found himself out of the playing eleven.

Differences Claimed in Oklahoma Education Lawsuit
Legislators this year directed the state Board of Education to drop Common Core academic standards, return to those in place in 2010 and develop new standards by 2016. A lawsuit claims there is a major difference between Common Core and the previous standards that could leave Oklahoma students at a disadvantage when compared to students in other states.
MATHEMATICS: Among other things, the lawsuit states that Common Core standards require second-graders to understand decimal notations in math problems. The earlier standards for second-graders do not include decimals but instead require solving problems involving the number of days in a week, month or year, according to the lawsuit.
ENGLISH: The state's previous education standards for English emphasized reading predominantly fiction. Common Core increased the focus on literacy in informational, technical, scientific, historical and other types of writing, the lawsuit states.
CRITICAL THINKING: The earlier state standards emphasized students' retention of information about what they have read, such as identifying the characters, retelling the main events and describing the setting. Common Core emphasized critical thinking and analysis, including comparing and contrasting the experiences of different characters, what the author was attempting to convey and the information the author used effectively to make a point, according to the lawsuit.

RAWALPINDI, May 22: Justice Khwaja Imtiaz Ahmed of the Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi bench, sought on Tuesday comments of secretaries of foreign affairs, interior and defence on a petition filed against the possible resumption of Nato supply.
The petition was filed by an Attock-based lawyer Sardar Zaheer Ahmed. The petitioner's counsel, Advocate Inamur Rahim, told the court that the Parliamentary Committee on National Security had recommended that the Nato supply would be resumed after the US would tender an unconditional apology on the unprovoked attack on the Salala checkpost.
He said that according to the recommendations of the parliamentary committee the Pakistani routes would not be used for transportation of lethal weapons and claimed that Nato forces used the lethal weapons and ammunition against the Pakistan army at the Salala post that had reached Afghanistan through Pakistan in Nato containers.
Advocate Rahim expressed apprehensions that Nato forces would use the same ammunition again against the Pakistan army after resumption of Nato supply and requested the court for giving directions to ministries concerned not to allow the Nato supply till the US acted in accordance with the recommendations of the parliamentary committee.
Advocate Rahim told Dawn that the Ex-Servicemen Society had adopted the petition and on the next date of hearing Col (retd) Umer Shabbir of legal forum and Col (retd) Anwar Afridi would appear to argue the same case in the LHC.

Ken was convinced that I needed to join him in self-storage. All I could think of was cinder-block facilities on the side of a highway with El Caminos and razor wire. I was certain that I did not want to go from the world of high tech to a world of absolutely no tech. Those of you who know Ken know that he is a very persuasive individual. He took me to California to see some recently developed, third-generation storage facilities. These beautiful facilities were nothing like what I had imagined. I quickly realized that this was a product that I could stand behind and that I would be proud to own. In 1998, I joined Ken. He had and continues to have an unparalleled understanding of real estate and the storage industry. I came to the table with experience building a company from the ground up, and together we started on what has been one of the most rewarding journeys of my life. After joining Extra Space Storage, I was not satisfied accepting that this was a sleepy industry, impervious to the rapidly changing world of technology. We began recruiting talent out of the high-tech world to build a team that could harness technology and build a world-class organization. It was the only way to take a company with a server room that consisted of a single computer in a broom closet to a publicly traded REIT with a cloud-based platform that is not only best-in-class in the storage industry but rivals top-tier companies in the high-tech and retail spaces. I will add that this team is still largely intact today. Now, I said that I was searching for an answer to what could so severely divide the performance of storage companies, and I have come to only one conclusion -- technology. Technology is the enabler that is driving the results of well-performing operators, and it is the bane of other operators who have yet to harness its benefits. Thomas: Self-storage is somewhat "boring" in that the business model does not typically have many highs or lows. How would you define your company's seemingly "boring" but profitable business model?

I'm 23 years old and am not satisfied with my eyes too close together and very large. The distance between my eyes is about 0.98inch (2.5cm) and the width of my eyes 1.38-1.57inch (3.5-4 cm), which is also a large deviation. Therefore, I would like my eyes are reduced or distance between the eyes is increased. Can you recommend me a eye correction or a broadening of the nose or something else?
Eyes too Close and Large? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Unfortunately, there are no great surgical options to create the your desired anatomic changes naturally.
The craniofacial changes that you are looking for require extensive surgery which will likely leave you unsatisfied with the results.
From the photo you have posted, your eye position/size seem approapriate for your anatomy.
Reducing Eye Size or Increasing Distance between the Eyes
Of the two, reducing eye size is probably a more reasonable goal, because the other requires inducing a traumatic telecanthus.

Keep It Simple, Cupid
Your earthly spouse likely has only one love language, so it should be simple for you to find that language to show them that you love them. For the Lord, it is even easier. The Lord loves his bride, the church. If we, as the church, love our husband, we will express that love in our love language. He speaks all the love languages and will accept your affection in whatever way you can express it. [ read more... ]

|Why not restore the route?

I think some clarification is in order, as some of the above statements are misleading.
I should apologize to Jay, as I was quoted as writing "the line has essentially been erased by the addition of bolts and anchors". This is not accurate. In reality, Greg Lowe's original route is largely intact, as it cuts left from Jay Goodwin's line just above the bottom overlap. So - it is still very possible to experience the original line - if you're up for it.
Also, It should be noted that Jay did his variation "ground up" (not top-down as Jeff Lowe writes),drilling from stances and using crack gear when possible.
What I meant to convey in my guide description was that it was unlikely that many people would do Lowe's original line, now that a more direct option was available.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are facing elimination as they play the Montreal Canadians tonight in game 4.
There was a sight for sore eyes at Lightning practice this morning as Ben Bishop took part for the first time this postseason — but any hope of a miracle comeback was quickly snuffed out by head coach Jon Cooper.
This means Tampa Bay will head into Tuesday's elimination game against Montreal with Anders Lindback as the starter.
That in itself presents an interesting narrative — on one hand, the Bolts have to be optimistic given Lindback had his best outing of the series in Game 3, stopping 28 of 31 shots.

'Exits and Entrances' Continues APT's Strong Season
Theater Review
The playwright in
this 2004 autobiographical drama is Fugard himself, and the death analogy
originally was a reference to Fugard's father. But it also applies to Huguenet,
who served as Fugard's theatrical father, and one forced to let his son go on
to become part of the "new breed" of South African theater, one in which actors
like Huguenet have no part. Exits and
Entrances is a play about fathers and sons, hope and despair and the
decline that accompanies time's inevitable passage. Kate Buckley directs her
veteran two-man cast like a beautiful sonata, playing very bright moments in a
predominantly minor key.
Albers, himself a
director, turns in a bravura performance that's among the most complex of his
APT career. In his refusal to accept pity, Huguenet engenders pathos and
acceptance of this blustering, boastful and inherently flawed man. Daniel, one
of APT's most powerful performers, reins in and channels his energy to create
an appealing, sometimes confused character who comes to love and appreciate the
flaws in the man who had been his hero. Both actors become masters of some
difficult South African accents.
With Exits and Entrances Touchstone hits its third homerun in a very strong season.

Tips for families dealing with propane shortage
Hoosiers trying to cope with the propane shortage may find helpful hints on a new Purdue Extension website.
The site contains tips to help users conserve propane gas and use it more efficiently in heating their homes.
A shortage of the fuel throughout much of the U.S. has led to escalating prices and private-public assistance in some cases.
Among the tips are placing rugs on bare floors, humidifying the air, turning down or shutting off the heat in unused rooms, and reducing the use of kitchen fans, bathroom fans and other ventilating fans, which pull air out of rooms. Leaving a fan on too long will result in more fuel being used to heat the home.

OXFORDSHIRE decathlete Osman Muskwe will compete for Great Britain & Northern Ireland in the European Cup Combined Events Super League.
The 28-year-old soldier, who is based at Abingdon's Dalton Barracks, is in an eight-strong team for the event in Torun, Poland on July 5 and 6.
This is Zimbabawe-born Muskwe's second call-up, but will be the first time he pulls on a GB vest.
"I kind of knew I had a chance of being selected, but it was a great feeling," he said.
"I was called up last year, but had to pull out due to problems with my passport.
"I just want to go out there and do my best and pick up as many points as I can, hopefully getting a personal best.
"Call-ups like this are the reason why you train.
"You want to get to the highest level possible.
"I'm hoping this is going to be the first of many call-ups."
Muskwe, who won the English decathlon title in 2013, switched clubs from Radley to Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow this season.
His form has been solid, having come within 11 points of his best with a 7,315 points score in Herentals, Belgium on June 1.
Muskwe has also extended his discus mark to 50.52m, which bodes well.
"My training is going well," he added. "I have been producing good results and am feeling good.
"Over 50m in the discus is the distance that people want to achieve and that made me really happy to achieve it.
"It was a good indication that my training is going well."
Muskwe is ranked tenth in Britain this year, but believes there is plenty of improvement to come.
"Since the call-up, I have just been sharpening everything leading up to Poland," he said.
"Hopefully, I will stay injury-free and we'll see how it goes.
"I am still improving and I'm still quite new to the sport.
"I hope to get better and better."
