Settlements, settlements, settlements, WTF! UPDATE
by MainStreet, Tue Jun 02, 2009 at 07:52:56 AM EDT
That is a reasonable question because nothing is more deceiving about the topic of settlements in the West Bank of Palestine than their expansiveness. The term "settlement" is actually a euphemism that hides the reality on the West Bank: the massiveness of the Israeli colonialism that has already taken place.
This latest map (above), dated late 2008, provides some idea of the extent of Israeli building in the West Bank: the villages, towns, and virtual cities that exist as "settlements," many of which have Burger King and Starbuck concessions, shopping malls, and fancy homes with swimming pools that suck water out of the limited West Bank aquifers.
For sake of clarity, since the map legend may be unreadable, the blue triangles represent legal settlements (all settlements are illegal according to international law), while the red triangles represent illegal outposts, small settlements, some of which Israel recently indicated it would dismantle.
If anyone thinks that an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal based on the withdrawal of settlements ala the Arab League proposal is going to be easy, think again. On looking at the reality, one actually has to wonder if Obama hasn't bought into the Alon Plan, in which it is understood that Israel will keep 40-50% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. What's left for the Palestinians?
It is otherwise going to take "grit" to convince the Israelis that their future security is dependent upon a satisfactory peace with the "Arabs," as they are called in Israel, the people called Palestinians for the rest of us.
UPDATE: Caught this piece over at Huffington Post;
Amb. Marc Ginsberg, Former US Amb. to Morocco
"Natural Growth": Netanyahu's Road Map to a Mid East Roadblock
Taking on the sacred cow of Israeli settlements construction in the West Bank has historically been a fool's errand for American presidents.
Caught between Israel's concerned supporters at home (many of whom do not appreciate the complexity of the issue) and domestic Israeli politics, no amount of presidential arm-twisting between strong allies seems to have slowed their growth or stopped their spread, even though successive Israeli governments since 1993 have pledged to ice the construction. Both Labor and Likud leaders have talked the talk, but rarely walked the walk away from that ever so tantalizing next hammer swing. But each swing of that hammer has only dealt another blow to the vision of a viable Palestinian state, as well as a safe and secure Jewish and democratic state of Israel.
I commend President Obama for demanding a deep freeze on settlement construction. Unlike his predecessors, Obama appears no longer willing to engage in the vexing winking and nodding that has characterized American attitudes to settlement growth in the past. I take that stand as a passionate Zionist dedicated to Israel's freedom and security, who just as passionately believes in the right of Palestinians to have their own state living peacefully and viably side-by-side with a Jewish and democratic state of Israel.

So many proIsraeli supporters are coming back to reality that Jewish opinion is split more than ever. It's liberal democracy versus fascism. The first battle against this fascism is the settlement freeze.

OTTUMWA — Everything was going swimmingly for the Ottumwa volleyball team at the start of its home opener against Mount Pleasant, but things gradually got worse as the evening progressed. Despite the promising start, the Bulldogs fell to the Panthers (25-18, 27-25, 25-14, 25-15) Thursday at Evans Middle School.
The girls exuded energy and confidence to start the game. After they fell behind in the opening minutes, the Bulldogs rallied back to tie the game at 7-7. Megan Robertson capped off the rally by scoring on an ace. A pair of kills by Shayleigh Smith and Brianne Holtkamp helped Mount Pleasant reclaim the lead. Black, however, offered a swift riposte. The senior Bulldog scored on a block and a monster spike to tie the game at 14-14. Ottumwa went on to rip off six-straight points that culminated with a spike by Black. The Bulldogs went on to pick up the 25-18 win.
The action went back and forth to start game two. An ace by Black and a kill by Mallary Simmer vaulted Ottumwa to a 9-7 lead. The Panthers responded by ticking off five-straight points, including a pair of kills by Smith and Mary Wester. The Panthers began to exploit their substantial strength and height advantage by filling the gymnasium with crushing spikes. They managed to build a 21-15 lead before Ottumwa mounted a comeback.
The Bulldogs, spearheaded by Black, went on an 8-2 run that tied the score at 23. Unfortunately, Ottumwa couldn't come up with enough clutch shots to seal deal and the Panthers squeaked out a 27-25 win. The Bulldogs never recovered from the tightly-contested game.
"We just basically couldn't pull things together," Carson said. "We couldn't quite collect ourselves as a team and come to the floor as a team.
While Ottumwa's momentum dissipated quickly, the Panthers seemed to grow stronger as the match progressed, as they overpowered the smaller Bulldog team with a flurry of spikes. Black kept Ottumwa within striking distance early in game three with a couple big spikes of her own, but a pair of kills by Smith and Wester helped Mount Pleasant build a 15-10 lead. A couple of minutes later, Brianne Potts and Taryne Shull scored on a double block that grew the Panthers lead to 22-13. Mount Pleasant went on to win 25-14.

The Norman Transcript
KANSAS CITY — When it comes to common opponents Oklahoma and Notre Dame have played this season, the edge clearly goes to … actually, it's not very clear.
The Sooners and Irish have played three common opponents. They've also played each other, with the Irish prevailing 81-71 at the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Also at the Jam, both teams met South Carolina and San Diego State. The Aztecs' season ended Saturday, in a 66-58 loss to Duke at the Memphis Regional. The Gamecocks' season ended at the SEC Tournament.
The Sooners beat South Carolina 75-67 and pummeled San Diego State 87-48. The Irish beat South Carolina 78-55 and beat San Diego State 84-79.
Both teams have played top-ranked Connecticut. OU lost to UConn 76-60 at Lloyd Noble Center. The Irish lost to UConn at UConn 70-46, lost to UConn in South Bend 76-51 and lost to UConn at the Big East Tournament 59-44.
Those wishing to spin such facts the Sooners' way can look at the San Diego State game, where OU handed the Aztecs their worst loss of the season, and the Connecticut game, where OU scored more points against the Huskies than the Irish managed in three tries.
It was 20 years ago today Oklahoma announced it was killing women's basketball. Of course, rightfully shamed by local protest and that of coaches at the women's Final Four, the program was reinstated quickly.
Six years later Sherri Coale became the Sooner coach. Her third season she went to the WNIT and her fourth to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. This season makes it 11 straight NCAA Tournaments, seven of which have included Sweet 16 runs and two to the Final Four. Notable is the fact OU has never ended its season in the Elite Eight. Each time it's gotten that far, it's won another game to reach the Final Four. Under Coale, the Sooners have gone 311-142 (.687).
Irish coach Muffet McGraw was already at Notre Dame when OU killed the program and, in 23 seasons, she has gone 525-202 (.722), going to 16 NCAA Tournaments, two Final Fours and winning the 2001 national championship. This season marks the Irish's 14th straight trip to the Big Dance.
Two years ago
Notre Dame ended OU's 2007-08 season with a 79-75 second-round NCAA Tournament overtime victory in West Lafayette, Ind. It was the junior season for Ashley and Courtney Paris and the least of OU's four seasons during the era of the Paris twins.
Courtney Paris led OU with 24 points and 16 rebounds. Amanda Thompson, then a sophomore, added 19, while Jenna Plumley, playing what turned out to be her last game for OU, added 18, with all 10 of her attempts and all six of her made baskets coming from 3-point land.
Charel Allen scored 35 for the Irish, who started three players who will also start tonight: Erica Williamson, Ashley Barlow and Lindsay Schrader. Barlow notched 16 points, Williamson eight and Schrader two.
So much for picks
OU and Notre Dame tip off what's left of the Kansas City Regional at 6:34 p.m., while Nebraska and Kentucky play afterward. When the season began, only the Irish figured to be in such a spot.
Big 12 Conference coaches picked the Sooners fifth and Nebraska sixth in the preseason. Meanwhile, SEC coaches chose Kentucky 10th (next to last), while Big East coaches chose Notre Dame second.
Big 12 best?
At least when it comes to teams reaching the Sweet 16, the Big 12 has bragging rights, though they must be shared with the SEC. Both claimed a fourth of the Sweet 16.
Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Nebraska reached from the Big 12, while Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi State and Kentucky reached from the SEC.
The Big East had two reach in Connecticut and Notre Dame, as did the ACC with Duke and Florida State. Four conferences had one team advance: the Pac-10 (Stanford), the Mountain West (San Diego State), the West Coast (Gonzaga) and the Atlantic 10 (Xavier).

As García's supposed crimes are revealed, Patrick wrestles with what truth there may be behind the accusations, haunted as he is by his own youthful memories of the man and his family. But it isn't until García's shocking intentions come to light that Patrick begins to realize that however sophisticated his knowledge of the brain may be, it will take more for him to understand the human heart.

I started out writing today's feature on Immokalee about the trials and tribulations the Indians have overcome this season. There have been many - injuries, suspensions, in-fighting, expectations and other distractions.
Yet as you can see if you read the article, the bulk of it is about The Incident as it's now known at Naples High on Sept. 7. Coming back from the ridiculous amount of injuries was big, especially since the injuries have been to star players. Getting past the expectations and pressure that came from the media hype (and admittedly a lot of it came from yours truly) also was a feat in itself.
So why focus so much on the scuffle in the stands and the ensuing drama? Because it was such a huge part of the season and tells a story of deeper things going on in Immokalee. Keep reading to find out how the incident is still affecting the Indians.
The incident isn't intriguing because of what happened that night. The truth is, the scuffle itself looked worse than it was and might have been blown out of proportion a bit.
No, the incident is important because what led up to the events of that night at Naples. There had been problems in Immokalee for a long time, maybe since Jerrod Ackley took over the football program three years ago. The confrontation at Naples, as Ackley said, was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
According to Ackley and nearly a dozen people interviewed during the school district's investigation, the group of fans who heckled the Immokalee coaching staff had been at it since the previous season. According to sworn statements, the unruly fans openly have tried to get Ackley fired.
The problem I have with the report done by Collier County Public Schools, however, is that investigators didn't interview the three fans who were banned from games. You wouldn't have a trial and not allow the defendants to defend themselves. Why weren't those accused of such poor behavior asked about it?
Although the truth seems to be leaning toward Ackley's version of the story, there is another side to the controversy. I spoke with two of the three banned fans after the incident, Jonathan Contreras and Manuel Salinas. They claim they reacted out of concern for their family member, player Aaron Contreras, that night at Naples.
Jonathan Contreras says an assistant coach nearly assaulted his brother Aaron, a sophomore who has since been kicked off the team. The older Contreras says he and his cousin Salinas, along with his and Aaron's father Rick Contreras, were baited into an argument by several coach's wives at Naples.
Another member of the group that is supposedly after Ackley also said he has feared for the safety of his son, also an Immokalee player. After the incident at Naples, Jacob Gallegos reached out to me because he wanted his side of the story told. He says in the preseason coaches force players to practice outside after the lightning horn sounded.
Gallegos said he met with district administrators about his concerns and that they weren't addressed. He also said he tried to video tape his son being forced to practice with the lightning meter on and that he was physically confronted by Rodelin Anthony. Anthony was the coach who went into the stands during the incident at Naples.
Obviously this is a lot of "he said, she said." Whatever truly happened or is happening, it seems to have gotten out of control. People in Immokalee, which is supposed to be a tight-knit small town, are fighting with their neighbors and others in the community. And as Anthony told me Tuesday at practice, it's affecting the kids. This whole season-long mess has been a major distraction for a team that was supposed to have an easy path to a state championship but has instead struggled at times.
What will be interesting to see is what the fallout is after the season. The question is whether or not Ackley will be back next season. I'd like to think administrators at Immokalee have faith in their coach and wouldn't fire Ackley. However, if you were put in that situation and had your safety and your family threatened, would you stick around a place where many consider you an outsider? If you were Ackley, would you even want to stay and deal with the headaches?

I Moved to Florida shortly graduating from HS and playing against Odessa Permium, "Friday Night Lights". I am currently a huge fan of Immokalee and I also tech the after school school Miracle plus program there. The town, vibe and its ambiance is the closes thing to being a carbon copy of BIG TEXAS football. GO indians and keep that MOJO up tonight!

You may have noticed that we (finally!) have a plethora of new nametags. Now that we have enough, please get back in the habit of wearing them during all shifts -- desk, periodicals, special projects, whatever.
You'll notice that we have a nametag for every employee, to help keep the nametags from "walking off." We've gone through over 15 nametags since the start of the year, so I need everyone to try harder at remembering to leave their nametag here at the end of their shift.
All students please comment that you have reviewed this post. Thanks!

The GOP has no good candidates to run, or at least they would really not like a primary fight that's going to spread all manner of dirt around as they fight one another.
So they're forced to use incumbency. They can pick whomever the RNC wants as as the VP (tons less scrutiny, tons less influence at the ballot box), and then when the time's right, that person becomes prez, appoints a new VP, and they continue the reign of terror.

Within about seventy-five miles of downtown Houston, some 1,500 miles of rivers, creeks, lakes, bayous, and bays await discovery. Canoeing and Kayaking Houston Waterways, by longtime paddler Natalie Wiest, is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to experience Houston's well-watered landscape from the seat of a kayak or canoe.
Before introducing readers to the quiet, green world that lies within and around the heart of the city, Wiest gives some pointers on water safety (including swimming and boating); on weather, flood stages, and legal access; and on an often unseen but always present paddling companion—alligators. She also provides a gear checklist for a day trip, a brief guide to boats and paddles, and a "sampler" list of easy places to paddle for true beginners.
Presented in nine chapters, each organized around a river system or coastal basin and comprising a "suite" of paddling trips, the excursions described by Wiest offer a general description of the destination, directions (both driving and paddling), and details about the paddling conditions and access sites, which are all publicly owned or managed. Each chapter lists mileages, USGS gauging station numbers, and GIS locations when applicable. Also including ninety color photos and more than thirty detailed maps, Canoeing and Kayaking Houston Waterways offers both novice and experienced paddlers a helpful and enjoyable reference for experiencing nature at water level, in and around Houston.

Course Rubric
Helen Barrett and Jonathon Richter or the University of Oregon's Center for Advanced Technology in Education speak of a "recipe for reflection".
What? So What? Now What? Model of Reflection
What? Describe the experience; outline what happened that compelled you to think about and change your behavior (i.e. learn). The "what?" component of reflections may include the environmental factors, the conditions or background under which you have learned, the assumptions that you entered the situation with, a description of the experience itself, and the outcomes that occurred through the process. What did you do?
So What? Describe what difference it makes; outline what impact or meaning it has for you (or why it should matter to others). The "so what?" component of reflections may include relevancies to you as an individual, the degree of importance that this knowledge has to practices in the "real world", how the experience has changed you, and the ways in which this experience relates to you as a professional in the field of education. So What? How is this learning important?
Now What? Describe what's in store for the future now that you've learned from this experience; outline what you are going to do to continue your professional development in light of this learning. The "now what?" component of reflections may include looking for future learning opportunities related to the one under consideration, mistakes that you are now prepared to avoid, situations that you are now prepared to take advantage of, an assessment of things that you as of yet do NOT know how to do but would like to, etc. Ok, now that you've done this, now what would you like to learn?
The goal of each reflection in a student's log is to think about learning as it is happening and to use that "pause to look behind and then plan ahead". Capturing thinking while learning advances both the current work and provides a roadmap for the next learning experience.

This past November, Principal Robert Parga attended a conference in Shanghai, China. Both American and Chinese principals attended the conference to see how schools across the globe run. This trip was part of a partnership between Medfield High School and the University of East Shanghai.
Despite being almost 7,000 miles apart, Principal Parga noticed that "from an educational standpoint, we [Medfield and China] are very similar. The teachers really care for their students and want them to be prepared for their futures."
One major difference he noticed in China involved class size. "It's hard for their teachers to really get to know their students. It's very difficult to get to know your students when you have 50 or 60 students per classroom."
The language barrier was not a huge obstacle for Mr. Parga, given that English is a mandatory class in the Chinese School. This generation's Chinese students learn to speak English, whereas their parents' generation is not English speaking.
"This was a very unique trip. I really wanted to experience their culture and food," commented Mr. Parga. Some of the interesting foods Mr. Parga ate during his trip include duck tongue and turtle soup. "Very different from the Lilac House in Millis," he added.
It is Mr. Parga's intention to continue our relationship with China. While in China, he had a chance to see progress on the state-of-the-art new high school being built. It will house 6,000 students, all in dorms. Mr. Parga said, "I think this will be a very nice facility and an amazing experience for any of our students who may go there."
This trip helped Mr. Parga share some of the great qualities and customs of Medfield High School while learning about China's culture.
This article was written by Ben Cox, a Medfield High School student and member of the student newspaper, The Kingsbury Chronicle. The piece is part of Medfield Patch's weekly series, "Warrior Weekly," helping provide information about MHS to the local community.

In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

We've been home for a week now and I miss my family. We spent two weeks laughing and smiling and memory making with my parents and siblings. We married off David and Amy and hugged my Dad for the last time before his deployment to Iraq. This post is mostly for my Mom. I love you Lamb Family.
We put baby in a corner:The Texas property:I hope Erin still looks at me like this when we've been married for 33 years.
You make a good angel Ying! Now mom's collection is complete!I'm not quite ready to share the wedding photos yet – but I couldn't resist this one. Classic, Dave.

Not many retail companies can or want to boast that their employees are paid $21 an hour and given health insurance, but Costco is proud to do so.
On Monday's Up to Date, Steve Kraske talks with founder and former Costco CEO Jim Sinegal about the wild success and the almost unparalleled employee compensation that his company is known for. We'll find out why Sinegal decided to pay his workers over twice the national minimum wage, and what effects it has on their work ethic and shareholders' blood pressure.

Dear Editor,
We are desperate for change here in the 1st legislative district. Having lived in Bothell for nearly 30 years, we have observed two decades of decline. Despite Rosemary McAuliffe's tenured efforts to "you scratch my political back, I'll scratch yours", she has failed to deliver improved education and quality of life for most of us, the tax payers and their dependents. Dawn McCravey has shouldered the task to change the slumping direction we have been going within education. She understands the feet on the ground, which live life in its trenches. The hard work of people who live here should not be futile efforts- throwing their dollars after poor decisions made by their legislators.
Dawn sees the disappointment most of us have expressed through the years in the state government's decisions to: continuously spend money on endless redundant studies, force students to be held accountable to high stakes testing while adults in the system are protected from accountability, narrow the definition and scope of education to what can be "tested", and continuously decrease funding as a percentage of the state budget.
I've gotten to know Dawn. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, and devoted to bringing out something better for our kids. She has the ability identify what is salient to a problem and rally people to its solution. I get that life is busy and is fuller than full, so we rely on sound bites that we can grab to make busy decisions. People, from all walks of life who meet Dawn, love her and are optimistic for our community again. She not only understands politics but also statesmanship.
She has proven herself in desperately needed education improvements, protection of environmental gems, and community heart and togetherness. I am voting for Dawn McCravey, State Senate; in hopes that her experience, tenacity and wisdom can make the difference we desperately need for our children and the place they call "home".

ANDERSON — A 10th Street Elementary School teacher was fired Tuesday after a panel of Anderson Community Schools board members were briefed about performance complaints against her.
Lisa Wills was terminated on a 4-0 vote by board members who heard the complaint against her — Tobi Jones, Tim Long, P.T. Morgan and William Riffe. The members did not disclose the nature of the complaint against Wills, who was employed on a temporary contract.
ACS Personnel Director Beth Clark said she could not disclose the nature of the complaint because it was a personnel matter, but she noted that the termination was a result of the peer assistance and review teacher evaluation process that the school system has implemented.
Clark said the board will make findings of fact regarding Wills' termination at the next meeting.
"There was nothing under consideration that would cause us to be fearful of the safety of children," Clark said.
Anderson Federation of Teachers President Rick Muir said he could not provide specific details about the complaint, but said that he was aware of the matter that had been brought before the board.
"It was a result of her teacher evaluation procedures," Muir said.
Wills previously had been employed as a classroom assistant and a temporary first-grade teacher at Erskine Elementary School.

5 Ways to Size Up Your 401(k) Match
How to tell if your employer's 401(k) match is competitive.
401(k) matches vary considerably from company to company. Vanguard administered more than 200 different 401(k) match formulas ranging from less than 1 percent to over 10 percent of pay in 2009, according to a new analysis of 600 Vanguard retirement accounts with 1.3 million eligible employees. How soon you become eligible for the match and how much you need to save to get the full match also play a role in how prepared you will be for retirement. Here is how to tell if your employer's 401(k) match is competitive.
[See The 10 Most Common Retirement Benefits.]
Match eligibility. Only about half (51 percent) of Vanguard 401(k) plans allow new employees to immediately begin saving in the 401(k) plan. Other employers require between 1 and 3 months (25 percent) or even an entire year of service (15 percent) before workers are allowed to make 401(k) contributions. The waiting periods are even longer to qualify for the 401(k) match. Just 40 percent of employers immediately begin matching worker 401(k) contributions. Over a quarter (28 percent) of companies require workers to have a year on the job before they will provide a 401(k) match.
Match amount. Another way to evaluate your 401(k) plan is by the maximum possible match you could potentially earn. The median 401(k) plan promises a maximum match of 3 percent of pay, with just over a third (36 percent) of 401(k) plans matching this exact amount. Two-thirds of 401(k) plans match between 3 and 6 percent of pay.
[See 12 Ways Retirees Spend Their Newfound Free Time.]
Savings required to get the full match. Getting the 401(k) match typically requires you to save a certain amount. The median 401(k) plan requires workers to save 6 percent of pay to receive the full 401(k) match. Two-thirds of plans require participants to contribute between 4 and 7 percent of their pay to receive the maximum matching contribution.
Match formula. The 401(k) match formula can be particularly important to people who are only able to save a small amount annually for retirement. Three quarters of companies use a fixed match formula such as 50 cents for each dollar the employee contributes up to 6 percent of pay. An employee paid $50,000 annually at a company using this formula would need to save $3,000 to get the maximum possible match of $1,500. Some 22 percent of companies used this exact match formula in 2009, which was the most common of any type of 401(k) match.
Another 17 percent of 401(k) plans use tiered match formulas, such as $1 for each $1 the employee contributes on the first 3 percent of pay and then 50 cents per $1 saved on the next 2 percent of pay. A worker with a $50,000 salary would only need to save $1,500 to achieve the same $1,500 match using this formula. And if that worker saves $2,500 he would get the maximum possible match of $2,000.
About 8 percent of plans have a dollar cap, such as $2,000, after which the company stops matching. A few plans also have variable formulas based on factors such as age or job tenure.
[See The 100 Best Mutual Funds for the Long Term.]
Non-matching contributions. Some companies make non-matching contributions to employee accounts, typically through profit-sharing or employee stock ownership plans. Employees don't need to save to receive these contributions, but they are typically required to spend a certain number of months or even years with the same employer before earning them. Three quarters of companies vary the amount of non-matching contributions by age or job tenure. Only a quarter of employers provide all participants the same percentage of pay. The median non-matching contribution is 3.9 percent of pay and the top 9 percent of companies contribute 10 percent of pay or more.

The Bottom Line
- Interesting combination of styles and lyrics in different languages.
- None.
- Released in North America April 25, 2006 on Napalm Records.
- This is a re-release of their 2003 album.
- This is their second full-length CD.
Guide Review - Tyr - Eric The Red
The lyrics are sung in English, Faroese and Danish. The topics cover Faroese and Norwegian lore, but they also throw in a cover version of the traditional Irish song "The Wild Rover," which comes out of left field but really works.
The songs on the album are flawlessly constructed and very diverse, ranging from slow, dreamy ballads to doom and progressive influenced mid-tempo songs to more intense metal tracks. Heri Joensen has a good voice that is very distinctive, and many of the choruses are layered with numerous background vocals that adds a sense of atmosphere.
If you're a fan of Viking, folk or pagan metal and missed this one the first time around, it's a worthwhile addition to your library.

Fourth-seeded O-State, which won the SUNYAC Tournament last season, ended the season with a 13-13 record.

Kathleen Payne had 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Cardinals, who received 12 points, 10 rebounds, four threes and four steals from Catherine Cassidy.

150 years ago many people on the home front were anxious to know more about what their sons, brothers and husbands were experiencing while soldiering. Northern newspapers provided valuable glimpses into what was going on along the front, and for those of us who still today are anxious to know about soldiers' life the images they produced are very valuable.
Above is a collage of nine camp scenes. Going clockwise from top left is an ice cart delivering precious ice to a camp; City Point, a valuable stop along the James River that would serve as the main Union supply depot during the Petersburg Campaign in 1864 & 1865; a water cart delivering to a camp; a sutler cart resupplying from a boat on the river to sell goods to soldiers; soldiers cutting down small tress to collect branches, probably for shelter or fortifications; men bathing in a river; a group of men searching for whiskey in a private residence; a photographer's studio in the field; and finally at the center is the Intrepid hot air balloon used for reconnaissance.

ASU hosts Holocaust Symposium July 17-22
Appalachian State University's Center for Judaic, Holocaust and Peace Studies will be sponsoring the 10th annual Martin and Doris Rosen Summer Symposium on "Remembering the Holocaust" from Sunday, July 17, to Friday, July 22 at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center on the ASU campus in Boone.
The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany is the major underwriter of the symposium. While the symposium is primarily geared toward teachers, everyone in the community is welcome to attend any session. All sessions are free of charge. Teachers who attend all 40 hours of the symposium will earn four CEUs.
One highlight of the symposium will be the survivor testimony of Morris Glass, a Holocaust survivor who lives in North Carolina.
Other distinguished speakers are Dr. Michael Berenbaum, a founding director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; Dr. Kenneth Waltzer, professor of history at Michigan State University; Dr. John Cox, assistant professor of history at UNC Charlotte; Scott Miller, researcher at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; Dr. Peter Cohen, lecturer in religion at Clemson; and Dr. Harry Reicher, law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
All will be presenting lectures in their areas of expertise. The range of topics to be covered includes Jewish culture and history, the history of Holocaust, the mind of the perpetrator and resistance efforts.
In addition, Appalachian State University faculty members Drs. Zohara Boyd, Rennie Brantz and Rosemary Horowitz will facilitate a number of discussions.
Along with the lectures, there will be numerous teacher-oriented sessions. Teachers will learn how to use Holocaust literature, film and survivor testimony in the classroom, as well as learn about online resources for learning and teaching about the Holocaust.
Lee Holder, an award-winning educator from North Carolina will be in attendance all week to work with the teachers. Linda Scher, another North Carolina educator, will also be a guest speaker.
Several exhibits will be on display during the week. One will be the Florence and Laurence Spungen Family Foundation's collection of Holocaust-era stamps, covers, postcards, letters, bank note forgeries and manuscripts from concentration camps and Jewish ghettos. Visitors will be able to touch and read documents as they peruse the collection, including a postcard from a guard at Dachau, a summons to an interrogation marked with a swastika, a fragment of Hebrew scripture and a letter from one of the first men transported to Auschwitz.

Nashua lawmaker issues apology about driving over ducks
City police are still investigating the incident, which Campbell has described as an accident.
"I am deeply sorry that I accidentally ran over several wild ducks near the Crowne Plaza last Monday night" Campbell said in a statement. "This occurred while some people were feeding the ducks in the roadway nearby. I know it greatly upset them, as it did me. In spite of the accusations to the contrary, this was accidental, unintentional and deeply affected me then and now."
According to Campbell's statement, after he hit the ducks with his vehicle, Campbell said he immediately got out of his car and apologized.
However, Campbell says that one individual, who he later learned was James Murphy, was agitated and confrontational.
"He cursed, continuously yelled and approached me in a threatening manner," Campbell said of Murphy, who was visiting from out of state and ultimately reported the incident to authorities. "After I parked my car, his aggressive behavior and threats continued. To diffuse a situation that was becoming increasingly hostile, I walked across the parking lot to my office building."
Campbell maintains that he has cooperated with police, reported the accident to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and spoke with hotel management.
"Once again, I extend my deepest apology to everyone involved, including the public," said Campbell.
It is still not clear how many ducks were killed or injured in the incident, which has gathered significant attention on social media sites and from various news outlets.
State Rep. Kenneth Gidge, also a Democrat who serves Ward 6 with Campbell, described the publicity surrounding the incident as ridiculous.
"I am astounded. This is so idiotic," Gidge said on Monday. "Someone hits a duck by accident and this is news? He is just so sorry. He is an animal lover for God's sake. It is awful."
Gidge noted that Campbell, a practicing attorney, was the prime sponsor of New Hampshire legislation that now prohibits motorists from driving and texting. Campbell has worked hard to prevent distracted driving in the state, said Gidge, stressing his colleague took appropriate action following the accident.
"I doubt the Republican party will go after (Campbell) because of this. If so, it would be so foolish," said Gidge, adding the Crowne Plaza has had problems in the past with the ducks, prompting the establishment to place signs encouraging visitors not to feed the animals.
Police have not said whether animal cruelty charges could be possible, only that they are investigating the incident.
"This matter has gone viral," state Rep. David Murotake, R-Nashua, said on Monday. "I think that (Campbell) has already received so much negative publicity over what may have been an accident."
Murotake, one of only three Republicans from the 27 House members representing Nashua, said that although the police investigation is likely warranted, it doesn't appear that criminal charges are a possibility.
"He is certainly apologetic. He appears to be sorry," Murotake said of Campbell, who he described as not only a state representative, but a highly respected lawyer and politician who was almost selected as Speaker of the House.
Campbell is currently serving his seventh term in the House, and is chairman of the Capital Budget Overview Committee and the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee.

Issue: Freedom to Listen
It is not possible to have Freedom of Speech if the right of people to listen to that speech is abridged.But, today a right that most take for granted—the freedom to listen to the radio broadcaster of their choice—is in jeopardy. Liberals in all branches of government favor more "fairness" in broadcast media, particularly AM radio, and they are threatening to interfere. A frontal attack à la the old "Fairness Doctrine" is unlikely. Instead, there will be efforts to use the power of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate conservative talk radio out of business under the guise of "localism," "viewpoint discrimination," community monitoring boards, "media ownership diversity" and reduced terms for licenses. The ACRU urges every lawmaker—city council members, state legislators and members of Congress—to take the Freedom to Listen Pledge. And we invite every talk radio host to join our effort to Save Radio Free America.

02/17/11: In Case of Emergency, Break the Constitution
This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published February 11, 2011 on The Washington Times website. Did you know that the nation soon will undergo a test that will determine how effectively the president of the United States...
04/22/09: Peter Ferrara: Will Obama Seize the Radio Stations Next?
When President Obama announced his new budget a few weeks ago involving record spending, tax increases, deficits and debt, he did so with soaring rhetoric about spending cuts (non-existent), tax cuts for 95% of workers (misleading), and cutting the deficit in half in 5 years (good luck). This misdirection rhetoric is now a common Obama pattern.
04/17/09: John Armor: The Myth of Public Airways
People who don't know much about freedom of the press (or don't care much about it) often say that the government has a right to regulate the content of broadcast media because "the public owns the airways." If that were true, the government would have a right to censor your personal phone calls and e-mails.
04/ 5/09: Peter Ferrara: Rush's fans have rights, too
While President Obama's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) prepares to attack conservative talk radio with some version of the Fairness Doctrine, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in open court last week may have thrown a bombshell into those plans.
04/ 1/09: Ken Klukowski: Government Claims Power to Ban Books and Speech
On Mar. 24, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Citizens United v. FEC, the latest installment in an ongoing series of challenges to the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA), better known as McCain-Feingold. This case has far-reaching implications for the future of campaign activities, and draws an important line between the right of citizens to speak out and the power of government to imprison them if they do.
03/10/09: Congressman Pence Signs "Freedom to Listen" Pledge
Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) became an inaugural signer of the American Civil Rights Union's "Freedom to Listen" pledge on Monday, vowing to protect the First Amendment by standing against "any and all efforts to censor or in any way restrict the people's freedom to listen to the unfettered airing of political views of their choice on broadcast media or the Internet." The pledge is designed to unify support against efforts to restrict Americans' constitutional freedom to listen.
03/ 9/09: Jan LaRue: The Heckler in Chief and Venezuela's Media Mauler
What do President Barack Obama and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have in common? Besides their socialist economic policies, they don't abide media critics well. The Obama White House has Rush Limbaugh, king of talk radio, in its crosshairs. When a president of the United States targets one media personality for criticism, those who live and breathe by the First Amendment should be aware they're on life-support. The executive branch can pull their plug via the FCC, which decides who gets or keeps a broadcast license.
02/19/09: Robert Knight: Listen Up, While You Still Can
Bill Clinton says America needs the Fairness Doctrine because conservative talk radio is sounding "a blatant drumbeat" against the stimulus package. He complained on a liberal talk show on Feb. 12 that "there has always been a lot of big money to support the right-wing talk shows."
01/28/09: Peter Ferrara: The Constitutional Right to Listen
We usually think of freedom of speech as involving the right of speakers to speak, whether through public addresses, in writing, or over radio and television airwaves. But the courts have recognized an additional dimension to First Amendment free speech rights: the right to listen and watch. This right takes center stage in a current challenge to the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law and could play a role in the debate about the Fairness Doctrine.
12/ 5/08: Horace Cooper: Freedom to Speak
It should be a well settled idea that in a democracy, freedom of speech and debate are crucial bulwarks of liberty. Unfortunately, that is not a notion widely held today by the self-appointed political censors of the 21st century; especially those who deplore the rightward tilt of talk radio. These critics of talk radio disregard the overwhelming left-wing viewpoint dominance in newspapers and television and zealously seek to impose speech limits until that same dominance is brought to bear on talk radio. It is laughable that talk radio's political speech should require government control and it is tragic that if the critics succeed they will threaten one of the most precious freedoms that our nation was founded upon and that the Constitution protects -- freedom of expression.
07/29/08: John Armor: Anybody Remember the Red Lion Case?
Led by Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, a phalanx of Democrats and liberal pressure groups are urging a return to "The Fairness Doctrine." What could be more American than "fairness"?
07/17/08: Ken Blackwell: The Gathering Threat to Freedom
House Speaker Pelosi is hinting at reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, and many of her liberal colleagues in Congress are doing the same in both chambers. Alleging the press isnt balanced, they say government should be making sure all viewpoints meaning the lefts are fairly represented. I agree the press isnt balanced, but Mrs. Pelosi has it backward; liberalism dominates the press, including the three major networks and most major newspapers.
10/16/07: John Armor: Press has enough protection; Reporters who choose to be martyrs don't warrant a federal law.
All Americans should be equally subject to law. Not even the president has a "right" to evade the law. Chief Justice John Marshall established this principle when he required President Thomas Jefferson to give evidence in Aaron Burr's treason trial. That concept was later applied to presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

MIS Bridge Team & History
The MIS Bridge would not exist without the dedicated efforts of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and industry volunteers. Conceived in summer 2000 by Dr. Prabhudev Konana, it took three semesters of collaborative work to create. During this process, people have spent heroic amounts of time mentoring student teams to help them build a real-time, multi-functional, living website.
Prabhudev Konana's intial concept of the MIS Bridge.
We are deeply grateful also to the Cargill Higher Education Initiative, whose support enabled us to buy the MIS Bridge servers in fall 2000.
Some people who deserve recognition in the ongoing MIS Bridge effort include (but are truly not limited to) Wade McElroy, who created the graphic design for the home page; Abel Banda, who built out the infrastructure; Tom Keney, Danny Chen, Lee Falkenhagen, Chris Mankle, Scott Artman, Nancy Sun, Jerry Malcolm, and Chris Walk, who worked for many semesters doing things like laying out the directory structure, coaching teams, and serving as alumni and industry mentors for students taking the Advanced e-Business Topics and Projects classes.
And speaking of those classes, alum Scott Campbell guest taught the Projects class--for two semesters!--at the same time that he was taking on the reorganization and presidency of his company, Momentum Software. His contribution cannot be measured.
McCombs Computer Services Director (and MIS alum) Tim Matthews must be thanked as well. He hired Lynn Hartley upon her MIS graduation in 2001, and part of her work in Computer Services has been managing projects and generally trouble-shooting everything on the back-end of the MIS Bridge. On the front end of the Bridge, PPA major (and Elota Patton's TA) Tiff Ting rewrote include files, designed graphics, edited photos, and added visual appeal to liteally hundreds of pages of content written by MIS Bridge owner Elota Patton.
MIS grad Kara Foster (2003) was not only a president of MISA, she also spent a significant part of her senior year coding the database that managed the application process for the MIS BBA Case Competition, leaving a legacy of functionality in place that will serve the MIS Case Competition into the future.
When Linda Bailey took on teaching MIS374 after Eleanor Jordan's retirement, she laid out detailed, screen-shot by screen-shot specifications for the MIS Bridge Project Application portal, and Lynn Hartley began building it out. When Lynn presented the portal concept to Professor Tim Ruefli, he got so excited about web-managing IROM BBA and MBA student/client projects that he hired MBA student Tracy Bazzell to work on the deep coding to make the site functional for both programs.
As the Projects Portal neared completion in spring 2003, we realized that it would need top-level security to manage its three levels of functionality: the client application process, the faculty review process, and the student team application process. As the content of the project applications would be material for several classes, students and faculty would need UT EID level security to access the data. This was a job for Academic Computing Services, who jumped in to move that portion of the MIS Bridge to a secure, UT-wide server. Not only did they faciltate the portal's evolution, they also saw the possiblity of rolling out the application--as originally envisioned by Professor Konana--to any other college or department that uses live clients for student projects. It will be very interesting to see if this supremely collaborative effort--uniting the work of UT students, faculty, staff and alumni as well as interested industry volunteers--will serve as a model for other programs at the University of Texas.

Emirates ditches Apple's iPads, KIS(ses) Microsoft's Windows 8
Emirates is creating a new KIS tablet that is light and has a long battery life, ideal for non-stop flights
At the Windows 8 launch event in Dubai yesterday, Emirates announced the development of a line-of-business application for Windows 8 called Knowledge Driven Inflight Service (KIS).
Emirates, one of the world's largest and fastest growing airlines, has opted for a Windows 8-driven tablet over Apple's iPad, which many thought would have been the obvious choice of the airline.
"At Emirates, we strive to deliver the world's best in-flight experience," said Kevin Griffiths, Senior Vice-President, Cabin Crew at Emirates. "We constantly invest in the best aircraft, products and service. To support our crew, we have created an application on Windows 8 that delivers a unique, personalised experience with the necessary information for our cabin crew to better serve the needs of customers. The Windows 8 platform running on HP ElitePad 900 devices gave us this option, allowing us to create the KIS app that enables our crew to offer an experience not available on other airlines."
The crew can also use the application to easily conduct in-flight upgrades to business class or first class for Emirates Skywards members, as well as customer feedback that is immediately routed to headquarters upon landing.
As the first global customer of the HP ElitePad 900, Emirates is creating a new KIS tablet that is light, attractive and has a long battery life, ideal for nonstop flights. The device, announced by HP in October and available to customers in January 2013, is built specifically for business users, offering Windows 8 optimisation and a beautiful lightweight design.
Combined with Windows 8's touch-optimised user interface, which quickly shows the most important information via Live Tiles, the crew can spend more time interacting with customers in a unique and efficient way.
When deployment across its fleet is complete, Emirates will have 1,000 HP ElitePad 900 devices running the KIS application on Windows 8. More information on the KIS application running on Windows 8 is available at the Microsoft Showcase.

You mean "tonight" as in tomorrow night?
Just spoke to John & reminded him there is no game tonight. He said he would take down the game thread shortly.
Thanks Kerel and Andy! I was in a rush and totally screwed that one up… Thanks for pointing it out.
When the Mets fill their roster out with career minor leaguers and underdog types, fans find it easier to root for the team. I wish this would be their strategy more often. When a guy like GMJ struggles we have no patience. We think he is a major leaguer, he should be better than this, but if a Chris Carter struggles we are much less likely to boo him. More importantly these guys are better than the players they have replaced.
