Soul Makossa
CD (Item 466797) Mainstream/P-Vine (Japan), 1973 — Condition: New Copy
A killer album of Afro Funk – with a very unusual origin! In the wake of Manu Dibango's big hit (and some kind of failure to register the copyright), many many versions of "Soul Makossa" were recorded and released, some good, some bad. This album is a good example of that situation – kind of a quickie project issued by Mainstream Records to cash in on the hit – but it's also an amazing bit of lost funk, and a record that's lasted for years in the hearts of beatheads! The group's a studio combo headed by Richard Fritz – and includes funky drummer Paul Humphrey, organist Charles Kynard, and guitarist David T Walker – all players we can trust to keep things groovy. The record does include a version of "Soul Makossa" that's pretty great – but even better is the breakbeat classic "House Of The Rising Funk", apparently the same version of the track that was issued on a 45 under the name The Chubukos. Other nice ones include "Kissing My Love", "Hot Mud", "Get It", "Hot Doggin", and "Let Me Do My Thing". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

As frigid temps begin to hit, ski slopes across the state are eager to start their most popular season — ski and snowboarding time.
Ski Sundown, based in New Hartford, said that they're ready to open their trails "as soon as possible."
With temperatures rising and dropping iratically, ski slopes are waiting until it is cold enough — below zero — to make snow. Besides low temperatures, man-made snow requires a certain amount of humidity.
As Thanksgiving weekend shows promise of "perfect snow" weather, according to Bob Switzgable, Ski Sundown President and General Manager, the hope is that the trails will be open Saturday.
Other ski slopes, Mohawk Mountain in Cornwall, Ski Butternut in Great Barrington, Mass and Mount Southington in Southington are targeting the first weekend of December — Dec. 1 and 2 — to open the trails.
Woodbury Ski Area, typically the first ski area in the Northeast to open, opened their trails on Oct. 13 for skiing, snowboarding and tubing.
Powder Ridge in Middlefield will not open for the season again due to new ownership taking over, the sale of which closed Sept. 13. The new owners hope to have the ski runs open by Dec. 31, 2014.
"We have 14 trails and plan to have them all open at some point in the season. We are hoping to start our snow making soon depending on the weather forecast," said Ed Beckley, spokesperson for Mount Southington. The four other local ski areas have similar plans for starting out the winter season of fun.
"We plan on having three to five trails open by the first two weekends of December," Switzgable said. "We're excited to get started. Everything is ready."
Mount Southington will be continuing its Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge, a sponsored race open to anyone. Prizes will be awarded as well. Continued...
"People from all over New England travel to this event, and it is just a really fun day for everyone," Beckley said.
As there was a drought of snow last year, the ski slopes are ready for a busier season with the forecasted large amount of snow this winter.
"People seem to be really excited this year, and we're ready to go," said Trish Morrissey, director of guest services. "It will be a busier and more exciting season than last year."
On the bright side for skiers and snowboarders, "regardless of the amount of snow, it is always cold enough in New England to make snow," Morrissey said.
If swooping down the trails isn't exciting enough, the local ski areas are open until 9 or 10 p.m., depending on the day, for night skiing and snowboarding with lights ready to illuminate the trails.
Lessons for beginners and even those trying to perfect their skills are offered at the ski areas as well.
Ski Butternut offers a $75 package for first time skiers and snowboarders which includes a lift, lesson and rental for one day and a $100 lift, lesson and rental package for beginner's second, third and fourth times on the snow.
Ski Sundown charges $78 for a first time ski or snowboard package inlcuding lift, lesson and rental fees.
Even though most pre—season specials just ended at Ski Sundown, one remains. Skiers and snowboarders can purchase a 12—pack pass for $239, good for 12 weekday visits and equaling out to be about $19 per visit.
Sunday Nov. 25 will be the end of season passes and discounts for Mohawk Mountain. Continued...
"We are 100 percent snow making and we're excited to open and start making snow," said Switzgable.

Infographics have become ubiquitous, and with good reason.
For one, they are very often pretty to look at. I've seen all sorts of designs...flow charts, circles, rainbows, maps. Easy on the eyes. (That's the "graphic" part.)
And the information that's presented is in bite-size portions, easy to scan and digest. Concise. A way to combine and display data to show results and/or tell a story. And, importantly, the information is cited.
Have you thought about how your information center could use infographics to present industry or research information? To market to your clients? To explain a new process or service (either for internal use or for clients/students)?
Here are a few that I found particularly striking and relevant:
+ The metadata universe (zoom to view the detail)
+ The importance of online training
+ Looking forward to Thanksgiving
Now, how to create them? Here are a few resource lists to get you started, plus step-by-step guidance:
+ Suggestions from Social Networking Librarian
+ Suggestions from Stephen Abram
If you see interesting infographics during your travels (or search for them; Visual.ly is a good creating and finding tool), file/bookmark/save them. Let them serve as inspiration for your own storytelling and information sharing.
Have you used infographics to tout your services or present information? If so, tell us the results and how you did it.

Breaking Away from a False Dilemma
With a high-school level understanding of science and theology, I was convinced by this "either-or" argument and, to my knowledge, became the first Young Earth Creationist in my local Nazarene church. I knew the enemy and the enemy had a name. It was Evolution.
Comparing Interpretations of Genesis 1
For concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse to match the current scientific picture. For non-concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse that appears to disagree with science as figurative.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science, Part 1
I would like to look at three areas relevant to faith and science discussions where Lewis's stated views might be surprising for his American Evangelical admirers
Series: It's an Old World After All
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Series: Pre-Modern Readings on Genesis 1
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Series: Science and the Bible: Concordism
In this series, Davis identifies core tenets or assumptions about the view of concordism, beginning with propositions about the Bible before concluding with a short historical commentary.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
The Questions Update: The Age of the Earth
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
Series: But Does it Move? John Lennox on Science and the Bible
Taken from Chapter 2 of John Lennox's book Seven Days That Divide The World, this three part series looks at scripture interpretation. Lennox looks especially at the Galileo controversy regarding the movement of the Earth and why our own interpretations do not necessarily call into question the authority of the Scripture.
Series: The Genesis of Everything
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
Science and the Bible: Scientific Creationism, Part 1
This is a very sensitive matter for creationist proponents, who tend to take a dim view of any speakers or seminars (such as this series) that present alternatives without openly condemning them.
Galileo and the Garden of Eden: The Principle of Accommodation and the Book of Genesis, Part 1
In 1615, Cardinal Bellarmine admitted that if there were "a true demonstration" of the Copernican theory, then we might need to reinterpret some biblical passages. When do we have enough evidence for a scientific conclusion to warrant a re-interpretation of the Bible?
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Kenneth Keathley
The first entry in the Southern Baptist Voices series presents a unique ongoing dialogue between Kenneth Keathely, a significant voice for the Southern Baptist churches, and several BioLogos scholars. Carried out in a respectful and humble manner, Keathely simply expresses six areas in which he does not agree with the BioLogos approach to Genesis 1-3. Darrel Falk, Kathryn Applegate and Deborah Haarsma then thoughtfully respond to each point in order to clarify the BioLogos' view on each issue and, hopefully, remove any stumbling blocks.
Discerning Intention
In today's video, Revd. Dr. David Wenham discusses how defending the Truth of scripture doesn't always require an ultra-literalistic interpretation.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.

UNE management waiting for September election
One could be forgiven for being confused about the respective positions of UNE's management and the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) in the current round of collective bargaining.

A message to management at the University of New England
Professional, academic and ELC staff at the University of New England have put together a terrific video, calling on the management at UNE to engage with its staff on issues affecting the campus, such as a lack of transparency in decision processes and selection panels, a dire loss of collegiality borne out of poor business decisions (like the current trimesterisation model) and the lack of consultation with staff on matters that affect them.
These issues can be alleviated, allowing for a far better workplace for all staff. It just requires leadership with that vision.

English language teachers and academic members of the NTEU taking part in industrial action on 1 May should be congratulated on their solidarity and their determination to send the clearest of signals to an out-of-touch UNE management.

Let's say, for a day, you are given the power to choose a person to lead Linux. Whom would you choose? Before you start racking that rusty bean of yours, let's consider the options.
12 Response to "Who Should Lead Linux?"
Anonymous Said,
Linux is a kernel, and 'leadership' is pure meritocracy: make useful stuff and you get a say. Just the way it should be.
All these three people are already leaders, in their own ways: large groups of people listen to what they say. RMS leads several GNU projects, Linus leads the Linux (kernel) project, Shuttleworth leads Ubuntu.
So what was the point of this article? You want a leader for some amorpheous, badly defined "Linux" not covered by the projects I already mentioned? What would this "Linux" be? (Would centralising power over Ubuntu, the Linux kernel and the GNU project really solve anything, or just lead to more in-fighting?)
Also, look up the word "whom". -
Anonymous Said,
NOT Mark Shuttleworth. That would be the death of the Linux kernel as we know it.
Why are we suddenly in a Linux kernel leadership crisis, anyway?
"Linux is a kernel, and 'leadership' is pure meritocracy: make useful stuff and you get a say. Just the way it should be."
This is exactly my point. Things have been working great for 20 years. Just because some people are starting to install a Linux variant on Grandma and Grandpa's computer doesn't mean Linux needs new commercial direction -
Anonymous Said,
Not sure what the point is of this article.
"We're just pissed about the fact that Linux, as of now, has no particular leader to take it through the tough times."
First of all, what are these rough times that emerged that weren't already being tackled by the various open source and Linux foundations and supporting companies?
Second of all, why is there a need for some leadership above and beyond Kernel development hierarchy based on proven skill and dedication via commits to the kernel tree?
Just seems like articles like these are just pushing around drama between end users that aren't really involved in the development, maintenance, or legal issues involving Linux. Why is there a need for such pointless drama?
Who's the best leader for Linux? Better yet, how should a leadership be formed (as if no one is currently 'taking care' of it - sarcasm)? Let the commits speak for themselves. Linux is not in a crisis. Linux will not be in a crisis anytime soon. Let's get back to hacking. -
Anonymous Said,
Mark is not the person to lead! His own Design Team For Ubuntu uses the Adobe Products and those who created omgubuntu use those same Adobe Products! Shame on the Author for even mentioning a person who does not think enough of Gimp, Inkscape etc to have his design team use them! That is why I'm attracted to Fedora since their Design Team does use Gimp, Inkscape etc... A leader has to have faith in what he is selling and Mark Proves he Does Not Have Faith with using the Adobe Products for his Design Team!

23 April 2009
Release date - May 1st 2009
Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) struggles to juggle school, friends and her secret pop-star persona; when Hannah Montana's soaring popularity threatens to take over her life - she just might let it.
The plot is spelled out, perfectly simply: Hannah's a big star, and everyone knows it. But all this celebrity is starting to go to her head, as demonstrated by a public fight in a shoe shop over a pair of stilettos. And she picks it with Tyra Banks.
This event gets her in trouble with her dad. She's packed on a private plane - she thinks it's bound for New York but it touches down in Tennessee, instead.
So Hannah/Miley has been brought home by her father as punishment, and there she will either learn about the important things in life, or decide whether she can cope with being Hannah Montana AND an ordinary girl after all.
There are also tears, several parties and, we are promised, 12 new songs. What more could one's inner (or outer) 10-year-old require?
The suggestion, of course, is that Miley, realising her life is so much simpler and homely down on the farm, might just give up the superstar life and the fame and fortune, and that the Hannah Montana we know might entirely cease to be.
Is that likely to actually happen? More like she works out it's possible to both stay grounded and maintain her double life of ordinary teenager and pop-star by the end.
Making its debut in 2006, Hannah Montana has easily matched the success of all its counterparts, including that of the much-hyped High School Musical.
The franchise is built around the story of Miley who leads a double life: by day, she is an ordinary high school student, but at night she is the pop sensation known as Hannah Montana. The show is one of the highest ranking programmes made for girls aged eight to 12 across all UK channels.
The third series has just launched on the Disney Channel, boasting a new look for the teen superstar. Her first two albums, released under the Hannah Montana licence, have both gone gold in the UK.
With triumphs such as these under Disney's belt, the stage is set for the inevitable success of the official video game for Hannah Montana: The Movie. Launching alongside its silver screen source material, the game follows the events of the film and allows Hannah's fans to experience the life of being a pop star struggling to lead a normal life when the spotlights are turned off.
No doubt the hype will continue and little girls, dreaming big dreams, will continue to follow in the legend that is Hannah Montana.

Ashley L. of OH
I made this collage from engagement photos my best friend took of us around Mt. Adams in Cincinnati, OH, overlooking the river. She is a freelance photographer looking to get into the business, and the pictures turned out better than we could have imaged. I didn't want to print them out as just 4 x 6's and thought a collage would be much more presentable. We have it in a black frame in our living room, and everyone loves it.
Janelle R. of CA
I recently got married in July. Before I got married, I was a single mom, so I wanted to make sure that my daughter felt like she was included in the wedding. She was my maid of honor during the ceremony, where she performed a "family vow" and my husband presented her with a ring (a surprise to her). After we got the wedding photos, I quickly uploaded them to Snapfish and saw the collage print option. I thought that would be a great way to showcase all of the pictures my daughter so that she would have a special wedding photo to display in her room. She LOVED it!
Stacy A. of NJ
Jay and I wanted to do something creative without spending a lot of money on our wedding save-the-date cards, so I came up with this idea, thanks to Snapfish's collage prints! All of our guests commented on how great they were and how it really got them excited for our June 2009 wedding!
Tara S. of IL
My husband and I made this collage for our wedding. It shows pictures of us from when we first met, got our first dog and then cat! The collage continues to show our journey all the way to the arrival of our daughter. We put the collage in a frame and had our guests sign the mat around the frame, and now it is displayed in our home!
Kristen P. of VA
I had my fairytale wedding earlier this month, and these are my favorite pics of us from the day! I found my Prince Charming and am loving every second of my happily ever after!
Emily M.C. of CA
I am a graduate of the University of Southern California and have been a fan since before I could walk, so I knew that I wanted to incorporate that into my wedding. My husband was a good sport about this even though he didn't attend USC. He even went as far as to propose to me on campus at the school's mascot, Tommy Trojan. As you can see from the pictures, I was able to incorporate the school's colors, cardinal and gold, into everything. Instead of exiting the church to traditional music, we walked out to a song by the USC Trojan Marching Band, and as a "gift" to me, the groomsmen wore USC baseball caps. I even posed in the Heisman trophy stance prior to my bouquet toss, to pay homage to the 8 Heisman trophy winners that went to USC.
Sarah K. of IA
My fiancé and I plan to display our collage at our wedding near the guest book.
Jill A. of HI
My marine and I are getting married next July 4. He's on his second deployment to Iraq right now. Last time he was there, all he wanted was pictures, so I thought it would be great to send him a collage this time around! I sent it to him less than a month after he left, and he said it is the best thing he has; he hung it above his rack. Thank you, Snapfish, for helping me be a part of my hero's day, in a small way!

The Outback is part of the fabric of Queensland's identity and encompasses the vast interior of the state. Covering an area the size of several small European countries it's pretty a hard place to define.
Gulf country, wetlands and waterholes, lush savannah, pockmarked lunar landscapes, red desert sand dunes and cattle stations so big you'll need to pack breakfast, lunch and dinner just to visit the neighbours… it's a big place, full of big characters and big history.
You can follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs, grab a beer in a grand old hotel or party with the locals at bush races. And there's always a sense of connection to the history and heritage of a country forged in this intriguing region.
It's a place where the pace of life slows down and you can really connect with the locals. They've got the time and they've certainly got plenty of stories.

Contestant Jimmy Smith auditions in Charlotte, N.C., on 'American Idol.' (Michael Becker / FOX / January 23, 2013) |
You know that big blow-up between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey we've been reading about for months? "American Idol" finally showed it to us Wednesday night, as the auditions zoomed through Charlotte, N.C., and it turns out it was actually between Minaj and the whole panel. The tiff was touched off by a Keith Urban comment and it was a Randy Jackson dig that prompted Minaj to get up and leave the judging table. But I guess "Minaj clashes with all the judges" wouldn't have made for good "catfight" headlines.
The trouble started after contestant Summer Cunningham sang "Lean on Me," and then irritated country star Urban by saying she'd done "the country thing for a while."
"That's like saying, 'I did the brain surgeon thing,' " Urban said. "You're either a brain surgeon or you're not."
So was Cunningham a country singer? Cunningham, who ultimately made it through to the next round with four yeses, tried to smooth things over by saying she wanted to do country but blend in some soul. But Carey and Jackson weren't entirely satisfied, grilling her on her commitment to the genre.
That set Minaj off. This "country music debate," in which the other judges had picked Cunningham apart over a comment, had "scared her into lying," she griped, adding that they'd see what she meant when they watched the tape.
At this point, Carey did get a little snippy, but it was Jackson who pushed back hardest. "Thirty years, a little help, insight," he said, positioning himself as the voice of experience.
"Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. I can't help her. Maybe I should just get off the ... panel," Minaj responded quite calmly, an apparent expletive bleeped, as she walked off set.
"That was my move. I was going to walk out the next time she ragged on me," Carey said.
"I was gonna walk out," Jackson chimed in.
"I'm done," we heard Minaj say off-screen.
But the next day, everything was more or less back to normal, though we were reminded of the scuffle by one sweet contestant, Brandy Hamilton. After being put through to Hollywood, Hamilton turned back to admonish the judges. "Please don't fight. It makes me sad," she said.
Others moving on to the next round (there were 37 in all) included Brian Rittenberry, a young dad whose wife beat stage 4 appendix cancer and whose "Let It Be" had an appealing raspiness; Jimmy Smith, a tousled blond with a sweet tone; Isabel Gonzalez, an adorable high school student who was nominated by her aunt and whose look one of the judges compared to a "young Phoebe Cates"; and Taisha Bethea, whose disparate song choices confused some of the judges but who ultimately squeaked through with a split decision.
And that was just Day 1. Day 2 success stories featured the aforementioned Brandy Hamilton, a Navy reservist whose rendition of an Etta James song Carey called "A-plus"; wacky Ashley Smith, who wowed with Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova" and a personality Carey deemed "effervescent"; and Janelle Arthur, who got her start as a kid performing a "young Dolly Parton" at a theme park and impressed the judges with her take on Urban's own "Where the Blacktop Ends."
Also making it through were Rodney "The Voice of Charlotte" Barber, who has overcome homelessness and now helps others get back on their feet; Candice Glover, who was cut in Vegas last season but got a standing ovation and high praise from the judges this time around; Ja'Bria Barber, who kills frogs and fries up their legs for snacking, but sings beautifully all the same; and Seretha Guinn, who came with a adorable 3-year-old daughter (carrying a Hello Kitty doll for Minaj), a heart-wrenching backstory (her boyfriend was almost killed in a serious accident), and a winning voice, which she displayed by singing the theme to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
Nixed singers included Naomi Morris, a woman who designed her own spiky bras, and Joel Nemeyer, a guy who sang lying flat on his back, among others, but all in all, as the wise and well-spoken Minaj said, the judges found some "top-, top-, top-, top-notch" talent in Charlotte.
Now if they could only find their sense of peace.

text: Bree Olson (AKA Bree Olsen, Bree, Brea) is living proof that the saying "Things are bigger and better in Texas" is the truth. This 5'3 blonde bombshell has mentioned that she has always wanted to become a pornstar and luckily for us she did. Her aspiration to be the best at what she does got her the 2008 AVN Best New Starlet Award, the 2008 AVN Best Anal Sex Scene Award, the 2008 XBIZ New Starlet Award and I can just keep going with all of the awards that this seductive blonde mega-babe has won but I would rather talk about her incredible ass. You know that when you win an award for getting ass fucked you're doing it right. You can tie her up to the hood of your car and use her as a bumper. If this girl was my personal secretary I would keep her after hours for some late night dick-tation. Pun totally intended by the way. She should call up her friends Carmella Bing and Jada Fire so that they can all come over to my office. I'm craving a multi-layered ass sandwich with Bree Olson's thick juicy ass-meat as the buns. Pun intended of course.

Charter School Hosts Legislative Delegation
The eighth-grade students asked the legislators what inspired them to get involved in politics and government.
Friday morning, eighth-grade scholars at the Christa McAuliffe Regional Charter School in Framingham had the opportunity to ask questions of the school's state representatives and state senator as part of the first-ever state legislator day at the middle school. Sen. Karen Spilka, who grew up in New York City, wanted to be a diver when she was younger. She started her political career as a social worker, after graduating from Northeastern University she told a classroom full of eighth-grade scholars. Rep. Tom Conroy said an issue close to his heart is trying to solving homelessness. Representatives David Linsky and Alice Peisch talked to students about how long it takes a bill to become a law, how many bills sit in committee and never make…

You are spot on. I agree with this sentence of yours 100%. However there is criticism and there is criticism, if you know what I mean. And there are plenty of criticsms that are levelled against Israel on a daily basis, which ARE definitely antisemitic in nature. Whether the person levelling the criticism is antisemitic him or herself or not, is not the issue. The criticism itself can be antisemitic. To illustrate that point, I urge you to read Sylvia's very thoughtful response. I urge you to think about it because her response was definitely not a knee jerk reaction. She was just making a point by talking about an Australia that is not as she described (I know because I am an Australian too). She just wanted to illustrate that irrational and ignorant criticism levelled without research is not valid. Moreover that type of criticism is antisemitic and unwarranted ...Originally Posted by Davosown
I also urge you to think about Aliyah's response because he makes a valid point too. Only you know whether you are motivated by antisemitism or not when you criticize Israel. But depending on the criticism that you make, the criticism itself may be antisemitic no matter how much you protest about it. In fact, some people try to disguise their hatred of Jews by criticising Israel in unreasonable ways. And when someone else accuses them of antisemitism, they try to deflect it by the counter criticism that Israel should not be above criticism. That's true and many Jews prove it by being the harshest critics of Israel. Most of those Jews are NOT antisemites and some of the criticisms of Israel are valid. Although some of the Jews too, who criticize Israel, ARE antisemitic. We call them self hating Jews. Just as there are some self hating Australians who are driven by misguided ideologies.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - On the heels of its first 0-1 start since 1996, the Orange lacrosse team got some good news on the recruiting front. Onondaga Community College lacrosse head coach Chuck Wilbur confirmed to YNN that sophomore attackman Randy Staats has committed to Syracuse.
Staats is the reigning junior college player of the year and was recently named the preseason player of the year. He set the OCC scoring single season scoring mark last year with 57 goals and 82 assists.

There's "Dead Accounts" and then there's "No Accounts", which is a more apt title for this dramatically lifeless play in which there's no accounting for structure, theme or purpose. There is, however, lots of ice cream and a dazzling central performance from Norbert Leo Butz. But no ands, ifs, or buts about it: the play is DOA.
Hard to believe that it got this far. Theresa Rebeck is a talented writer and she's penned some very laudable work. But "Dead Accounts" simply had no business opening in its present form.
The story is a muddled contrivance concerning Jack from New York City who shows up unexpectedly at his parents home in Cincinnati. His sister Lorna finds him unusually hyper and irrational, though his odd behavior might have something to do with the incredible amounts of ice cream he consumes.
The point of his ice cream obsession is never really explained. Nor is pretty much everything else in the play. Their unseen father is inexplicably dying from kidney stones. Lorna, played by the beautiful Katie Holmes, supposedly can't get a date. And Jack, we come to discover, has committed a major crime that seems completely motiveless.
The only good news is that it's very well acted. Josh Hamilton as Jack's hometown pal is a charmer. Jayne Houdyshell as the mom is wonderful as usual, though utterly wasted here and Katie Holmes, in her second Broadway appearance, manages to hold her own with this polished company. But if not for Norbert Leo Butz at his scene chewing best, it would have been a total loss. The two-time Tony winner singlehandedly kept me from hurling my Playbill at the stage.
Rebeck writes hard to make us laugh, yet the funniest moment is a sight gag and I wonder how much of that was a directorial move. Despite the great Jack O'Brien's best efforts, "Dead Accounts" emerges not so much a comedy as a joke.

A shopper views mobile phones at a Best Buy store in San Francisco. The White House threw its support Monday behind a petition calling for consumers to be allowed to circumvent the digital locks that tie their mobile devices to a single network. (David Paul Morris / Bloomberg / January 30, 2013) |
The White House drew plaudits from Internet advocacy groups Monday for supporting a petition to make cellphone unlocking legal. But consumers shouldn't get their hopes up about being free to use cheaper foreign SIM cards overseas or selling their unlocked used smartphones on EBay. The Obama administration had already taken a strong position in favor of cellphone unlocking, and it's not clear what, if anything, changed with Monday's action.
At issue is the Librarian of Congress' decision last year on whether consumers should be allowed to circumvent the digital locks that tie their phones to a particular mobile network. Section 1201 of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act bars people from circumventing locks that protect copyrighted material from piracy, but it lets the librarian grant temporary exemptions every three years for noninfringing uses. After granting exemptions twice to let people unlock the phones they own, the librarian reversed course last year, declaring that proponents of unlocking hadn't met the burden of proof.
The decision, which took effect in January, drew howls from across the Internet (and from The Times' editorial board), and a petition asking the White House for help drew more than 114,322 digital signatures. R. David Edelman, the president's senior advisor for Internet, Innovation, & Privacy, issued an unequivocal statement Monday supporting the petition.
"The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cellphones without risking criminal or other penalties," Edelman wrote. "In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smartphones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs."
Yet the administration took the same position last year when it urged the Copyright Office in no uncertain terms to renew the exemption for cellphone unlocking and expand it to all mobile devices. Neither Maria Pallante, the Registrar of Copyrights, nor James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress, was persuaded. And because they work for Congress, not the president, the White House can't overrule them on this or any other issue.
In other words, as daffy and divorced from reality as the cellphone unlocking ruling may have been, there's not a lot the White House can do about it. The administration conceded as much in its response Monday, laying out three paths forward. The first is for Congress to clarify that consumers can't be stopped, by criminal law or digital locks, from switching carriers "when they are no longer bound by a service agreement or other obligation." The second is for the Federal Communications Commission to address cellphone unlocking in the context of "promoting mobile competition and innovation." And the third is for mobile providers to voluntarily help the people who buy phones from them to "fully reap the benefits and features they expect when purchasing their devices."
Congress obviously has the authority to amend copyright law to grant consumers a permanent right to unlock the devices they own. Whether it does so depends on how much opposition they get from the phone and entertainment companies that argued against renewing the unlocking exemption last year. As the debate over SOPA and PIPA illustrated, Congress won't necessarily rush to strengthen the law's protections against copyright infringement. But members have also been loath to weaken the protections that already exist.
The FCC's authority here isn't so obvious. Chairman Julius Genachowski issued a statement Monday indicating his unhappiness with the librarian's decision but not pledging to find a way around it:
"From a communications policy perspective, this raises serious competition and innovation concerns, and for wireless consumers, it doesn't pass the common-sense test," Genachowski said. "The FCC is examining this issue, looking into whether the agency, wireless providers or others should take action to preserve consumers' ability to unlock their mobile phones. I also encourage Congress to take a close look and consider a legislative solution."
Sina Khanifar, the entrepreneur behind the petition (and the original exemption for cellphone unlocking), expressed confidence in the White House's ability to get the problem fixed. But he also said that the "real culprit" was Section 1201 of the DMCA, which he said "needs to be either repealed or amended, as it's very broadly written and generally unnecessary." Among other things, Khanifar said, Section 1201 "prevents making backups of DVDs for personal use (with no copyright infringement), prevents screen reading technology for e-books for the blind, and prevents unlocking and jailbreaking phones, game consoles and tablets."
On the other hand, Section 1201 also makes it illegal to circumvent the access controls on DVDs, e-books and video games to make bootlegged copies for sale on the street or swapping online. It also makes it illegal to manufacture or sell devices whose main purpose is to circumvent the digital locks on copyrighted material. Any effort to remove or significantly weaken Section 1201 would run into a buzz saw of opposition from companies that rely on technical protections for their intellectual property.
Nevertheless, Khanifar hinted that he would soon launch an effort to change Section 1201. Meanwhile, a former Republican congressional staffer active on copyright issues, Derek Khanna, said he was launching a website to keep the pressure on Congress to lift the ban on cellphone unlocking.
"A free society should not require its citizens to petition their government every three years to allow access to technologies that are ordinary and commonplace," Khanna said in a statement. "Innovation cannot depend upon a permission-based rule-makings requiring approval every three years from an unelected bureaucrat. A free society should not ban technologies unless there is a truly overwhelming and compelling governmental interest."ALSO:

The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence showed up Monday night at Christian Dior Haute-Couture show in Paris looking every bit appropriate in head to toe Dior. From her summery red and white floral Dior dress to her adorable nude Miss Dior peep toes, I think Jennifer pulls off this look effortlessly.
What's hard about haute-couture is I usually feel the fashion is so far from reality. The gowns and pieces are usually gorgeous, but a bit unconventional and not necessarily made for ordinary wear. Jennifer's outfit is the opposite of that. While still keeping herself classy and paying homage to the designer, she is wearing an outfit that I could see myself wearing. Jennifer prides herself in wanting to be a down to earth actress and always keep it real, and this outfit does a great job of displaying that mentality.
Lovelies, what do you think of Jennifer Lawrence's Dior ensemble? Too casual or just right?

Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster says that scam artists are calling or e mailing citizens and identifying themselves as law enforcement officers. The scammers have identified themselves as being with the Sheriff's Office and with the FBI.
The scammer then tells the potential victim that they are in trouble with law enforcement and that if they will send money, law enforcement will drop their charges.
Foster said that while they were not aware of any one who has sent money to the scammers at this point, several complaints have been filed with the Sheriff's Office of attempted scams of this type.
The Sheriff said that law enforcement does not handle criminal charges by telephone, and that if you are in trouble with law enforcement you can rest assured that you will receive a visit from a law enforcement officer. He added that no legitimate law enforcement officer or agency would ever be willing to accept money to dismiss criminal charges.
Foster said that if you receive a call from someone attempting this or any other scam, please hang up and contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.
"We want our citizens to be armed with the most up to date information on current trends and scams at work in and around our community," said Foster. "We want to provide them with the information to prevent becoming a victim of crime because often once the money is sent it because nearly impossible to ever recover their loss."
If you are ever unsure about someone you are dealing with contact your local law enforcement agency before taking any action. A legitimate business will never mind you checking them out, but you may just save yourself a lot of money, time, and heartache.
