Fighting In Syrian Capital Remains Intense
Dec 7, 2012 (Morning Edition) — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held an emergency meeting with her Russian counterpart in Dublin Thursday to try to reach new consensus on how to end the Syrian conflict. A prominent human rights group has put the death toll in Syria at 42,000 people killed in the nearly two years of fighting there -- which began with a series of political protests, and turned into an armed rebellion.

Navy® Upholstered Armchair
Price: $985.00Overview
A 1948 design.
Made in Hanover, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. by Emeco.
In 1946, Navy officers began requesting Emeco chairs for their offices. The Navy developed specifications and in 1948 the Emeco Naval Officer Collection (today's Navy Upholstered Collection) was launched. The Navy® Upholstered Armchair offers up sophisticated comfort in slick black vinyl upholstered seating. This silhouette begins with Emeco's iconic Navy recycled aluminum frame, adding foam and vinyl upholstery to the arms, full back and seat pan. Available with Brushed or Hand Polished Aluminum frame.
Navy® Collection chairs by Emeco are admired today and indefinitely. Armchairs that span generations and cultures. Built individually by a handful of craftsmen, 77 painstaking steps at a time. And designed to last 150 years.
Emeco furniture is hand welded and hand brushed for a warm, uniform finish. Weld lines are natural and always visible, and can range from very light to slightly darker than the adjoining aluminum surface. All Emeco furniture will exhibit slight variations of handcraft.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): 80% Recycled aluminum, vinyl
- Seat Height: 18"H
- Weight: 15.25 lbs.
Manufacturer: Emeco
Emeco. Timeless, handmade chairs, made in the U.S.A. from recycled materials.
Emeco has an interesting history beginning in 1944 with the 1006 Navy chair, the granddaddy of Emeco that was designed to withstand the harsh environment on a Navy ship, including water, salt air, and sailors. (Legend has it, the seat of the Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was modeled after the seat of actress Betty Grable.) Since then Emeco has had some new editions, designed by some good friends: Philippe Starck, Frank Gehry, and Ettore Sottsass to name a few.
The creative process behind the development of Emeco products is one that is loose and organic, intuitive, and explorative. The philosophy is rooted in the fact that the search for good design is as much part of the development process as is the forming, welding, and hand finishing of its products. Emeco's designers and manufacturers are equally valued and respected, and their combined dedication, intuition, and skill have uniformly contributed to the company's continuing growth. All Emeco chairs are LEED™ compliant, made of 80% recycled aluminum or 65% rPET. The aluminum chairs have an estimated lifespan of 150 years and a lifetime guarantee.
Emeco is a leader when it comes to chair fabrication. Committed to sustainability and protecting the environment, Emeco uses post consumer and post industrial waste to create chairs with ultimate strength, intended to last for decades. Chairs admired today and indefinitely. Chairs that span generations and cultures.

Equip for Equality Calls for the Closure of the Choate Developmental Center
Disability Advocacy Organization Issues Report Detailing Extensive Problems in Facility for People with Developmental Disabilities
Special Report: How an archaic system results in tragic consequences for people with disabilities
CHICAGO (February 25, 2005) -- Equip for Equality (EFE) today in its capacity as the Governor designated and federally mandated Protection and Advocacy System for people with disabilities in Illinois, called on the State to close the non-forensic units of the Choate Developmental Center and released a report detailing the Abuse Investigation Units extensive investigation of the institution and its mistreatment of people with developmental disabilities.
Choate Developmental Center is located in Anna, Illinois and currently houses approximately 200 people with disabilities. EFE's Abuse Investigation Units activities included more than 200 hours of on site observations throughout the facility on different days and various times from April through December of 2004, and the examination of hundreds of pages of relevant material, including medical and treatment records, restraint records, and state agency investigative reports. The Investigation Unit documented a longstanding pattern of significant failures and mistreatment of residents including:
- Deaths due to the facility's failure to provide adequate healthcare,
- Numerous instances of abuse and neglect,
- Excessive use of restraints in violation of state and federal law,
- Repeated failure to address the needs of residents with pica (ingestion of non-edible objects) behavior,
- Failure to protect residents from sexual assault,
- Absence of active treatment or appropriate programming to meet resident needs,
- Lack of effective communication for residents who are deaf or hard of hearing,
- Missing documentation and critical information regarding residents
- Multiple injuries of unknown origin which were never investigated
The Investigation Unit's examination revealed an institutional culture where individual rights and personal dignities were ignored. Instead, a culture of fear was evident causing residents to be afraid to exercise rights or to express their needs for fear of retaliation or being "tied up." The incidents and the records examined by the Investigation Unit, along with the documented observations clearly illustrate the systemic failure of Choate and the need for closure.
In response to the serious problems identified by EFE, the Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities and Choates Director have begun to take action to address the problems at Choate. The Department of Public Health has placed independent monitors in the institution and has brought in the Illinois Foundation for Quality Health Care to encourage a culture change at Choate in an effort to better meet the needs of the residents.
"Equip for Equality strongly urges the State to shift its focus from saving the institution to developing and facilitating a well-planned and orderly transition of residents to less restrictive settings in the community or to other facilities based upon individual preferences." says Zena Naiditch, President and CEO of Equip for Equality.
Clyde L. Choate Developmental Center (Choate), originally constructed in the late 1800s as the Anna State Hospital, is Illinois southernmost state-run institution. Choate is licensed as a 200-bed intermediate care facility for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Equip for Equality is a private, not-for-profit entity designated by the Governor to administer the federal Protection and Advocacy System for safeguarding the rights of people with physical and mental disabilities in Illinois. It is the only comprehensive statewide advocacy organization providing self-advocacy assistance, legal services, disability rights education, public policy advocacy and abuse investigation.
For more information contact Deborah M. Kennedy, Abuse Investigation Unit Director, (312) 895-7304.

Brian Smith returned to London Irish in March 2012 as Director of Rugby.
Having previously held the role with the Exiles for three years between 2005 and 2008, the vastly experienced manager and coach rejoined to bolster the club's set up.
Smith left the Exiles in 2008 to become England Attack Coach and subsequently helped to lead the national side to become RBS 6 Nations winners in 2011 and also achieved the second best win record and third best try scoring record in world rugby during 2011.
He is widely credited as having been instrumental in laying the original foundations of London Irish's most successful years taking the club to third place in the Premiership, the final of the European Challenge Cup and a Heineken Cup semi-final against Toulouse. After his departure the club appeared in a Premiership Final and gained Heineken Cup tournament qualifications for three successive years.
Brian is a dual rugby international having played at fly-half for both Australia (six caps) and Ireland (nine caps). He debuted for the Wallabies on their successful 1986 Bledisloe Cup Tour and played in the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987. He is also an Oxford Blue.

text: The international community has strongly criticized the Syrian government during its prolonged and violent conflict with opposition forces. Head of the UN Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS) [official website] on Monday expressed concern [JURIST report] about the growing number of civilian casualties in violent clashes between government forces and armed opposition groups. Earlier this month the UN General Assembly passed a resolution [JURIST report] criticizing the Syrian government for increasing its use of heavy weapons and calling on both sides of the conflict to stop fighting. Also this month Amnesty International published a report holding Syria responsible for crimes against humanity [JURIST report]. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay in July insisted that the Syrian government take steps to protect civilians [JURIST report] during armed conflicts. Earlier that month, Amos urged parties to the conflict to avoid harming civilians [JURIST report]. She stressed that failure to take precautions to distinguish between civilians and combatants amounts to a war crime.

Bats play critical roles in many ecosystems, yet they are often not taken into consideration in the design and management of parks and reserves or in other conservation efforts. To bridge this gap, a current BCI science priority is to identify and prioritize the most critically important bat roosts and habitats around the world. The first stage will be to solicit information from international conservationists, biologists, governmental agencies and other organizations through a massive correspondence campaign and presentations at selected conferences. After determining which sites are the most critical, the next phase will entail meeting with appropriate government officials and enlisting assistance from other conservation organizations and individuals in order to implement protective measures.
To begin this major project, BCI is pleased to welcome Gary L. Graham as Associate Science Director. Gary received his Ph.D. in biology from the University of New Mexico in 1986 and has studied bats and birds in the U.S., Mexico and South America. Gary conducted his dissertation research on the roosting biology of bats in Peru. During 18 months of fieldwork he explored many caves and other seldom visited places to document the importance of different types of bat roosts. Prior to joining the BCI staff, he was the coordinator of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish tax check-off for wildlife program.
After a year's sabbatical at BCI, Dr. Paul Robertson has returned to his post at Trinity University in San Antonio where he is an Associate Professor of Biology and Program Director for Environmental Studies. As BCI's first Associate Science Director, Paul laid much groundwork for future bat conservation projects and initiated BCI's Chiropteran Bibliographic Data Base on worldwide bat research, a project he continues to supervise. His association with BCI also continues as Special Projects Coordinator. Both Gary and Paul will represent BCI at the Eighth International Bat Research Conference this summer in Sydney, Australia where they will be co-chairing the Conservation Section.

Blue Topaz Quality
Legend has it that blue topaz minimizes dangerous enchantment and increases your strength. When shopping for blue topaz, the most important aspect to consider is color. Blue topaz should capture the color of the sky on a cloudless day. The more pure and bright the pastel blue, the better. Generally blue topaz comes in three colors: pale, sky blue topaz; vivid, super blue topaz; and dark, London blue topaz. Gemvara's blue topaz jewelry is made with super blue topaz, but small sizes never show as saturated a color. Cut and clarity influence the value of the blue topaz because the light shade of the gem makes imperfections more pronounced. Blue was once the rarest color of topaz, but today it is the most common thanks to a stable color-enhancement process involving irradiation and heat that was developed in the 1970s. The enhancement of all blue topaz on the market today means this gem is affordable and available even in large sizes. Blue topaz is a December birthstone, the gem for the 4th anniversary, and the state gem of Texas. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality blue topaz will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine black onyx jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.

[JURIST] A German Presidency policy paper proposing that European Union nations abandon talks on a constitutional treaty [JURIST news archive] circulated Wednesday, just prior to Thursday's summit meeting of European Council [EU Council press release] in Brussels. Last week German Chancellor Angela Merkel [official website], the summit chair, expressed doubts [JURIST report] that the meeting would see any progress beyond a road map to an eventual European constitution. The Wednesday paper, which said that the treaty concept was "abandoned," conceded several key points of dispute, including a provision allowing nations to decline to enforce EU criminal law policies. Germany also proposed having no EU foreign minister and increasing the ability of national parliaments to overrule EU laws.A number of stumbling blocks have arisen during the treaty talks. France and Spain have called [JURIST report] for a "mini-treaty" to replace the originally proposed Constitution for Europe [text]. UK Prime Minister Tony Blair outlined four non-negotiable issues [JURIST report] for the UK, including opposition to the German-backed proposal to give legal effect to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union [European Parliament materials]. Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said last week that Poland will not agree to any proposed treaty [JURIST report] unless negotiations on the EU's voting system remain open; the latest German proposal acknowledges this point in a footnote. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] The Colombian Senate [official website, in Spanish] voted 34-29 against landmark gay rights legislation Tuesday. The bill, endorsed by President Alvaro Uribe [official website in Spanish; BBC profile], was approved by the lower house [JURIST report] 62-43 last week. Many of the 102 Senators were not present Tuesday for what was expected to be a routine bloc vote, but a conservative call for a floor vote found the bill short individual supporters. Bill sponsors immediately announced plans to revisit the legislation when Congress reconvenes in July. AP has more. The measure, opposed by the Roman Catholic church, would make Colombia the first Latin American nation to give same-sex couples who have cohabited for over a period of two years similar rights as persons in heterosexual common law marriages. It would also guarantee equal rights in areas such as welfare benefits and property inheritance, though it would not provide for same-sex marriage or adoption. In February, the Constitutional Court of Colombia [official website] invalidated a 1990 law [summary; JURIST report] creating a presumption that property held by "a man and a woman" who lived together in de facto marriage for at least two years was held in common because it did not accord the same property rights to same-sex couples as to other unmarried couples.
[JURIST] The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) [official website] Wednesday moved to ease accounting procedures [meeting agenda; recorded video, (00:41:15) WMV] required for foreign companies trading on US exchanges. The SEC commissioners voted 5-0 to amend federal regulations to accept financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) [Wikipedia backgrounder], as published by the International Accounting Standards Board [official website], rather than in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) [official backgrounder] used in the US. Foreign companies have argued that reconciling the two standards is time-consuming and expensive, and have pushed for US acceptance of the internationally recognized standards.Some analysts believe that by accepting the IFRS, it will be more difficult for investors to compare the foreign companies with domestic companies using the GAAP system. Formal adoption of the change will come after a public comment period, and would apply to 2008 reports. AP has more.
[JURIST] The New York State Assembly [official website] Tuesday passed a bill [A08590 bill information] to legalize same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive] following three hours of often emotional debate. The bill was proposed [press release; JURIST report] in April by New York Governor Eliot Spitzer [official website], and was sponsored in the Assembly [press release] by gay Assemblymember Daniel O'Donnell [official website], brother of talk show host Rosie O'Donnell. Assemblymember O'Donnell, who has been with his partner for 25 years, opened debate by saying that civil unions do not provide equality. The 85-61 vote included support from four Republicans. One, Assemblymember Teresa Sayward [official website], told her colleagues about the struggles faced by her gay son, and asked them to "do the right thing." Despite the support of the Governor and the Assembly, it is unlikely that the bill will be passed anytime soon by the Republican-controlled New York State Senate [official website]. State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R) [official website] said that the legislation will not be voted on this year. AP has more.
[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California (ACLU/SC) [advocacy website] brought a federal class action lawsuit against the US Tuesday on behalf of two immigrants who said they were forcibly drugged with sedatives during deportation proceedings. The ACLU/SC began an investigation [press release] into the alleged incidents soon after the allegations were made. In one incident from December 2004, Rev. Raymond Soeoth, a minister from Indonesia, claims that he was held down by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) [official website] officers and injected with Haldol [Wikipedia backgrounder], a powerful anti-psychotic, despite refusing the medication. Amadou Diouf, a Senegalese man married to a US citizen, was allegedly injected with an unidentified psychotropic drug while resisting an illegal deportation in 2005. Diouf was allegedly drugged while attempting to speak to the pilots, to inform them of his court ordered protection from deportation. Neither of the men have a history of mental illness, and the ACLU/SC alleges the druggings were merely meant to silence them.Speaking to Reuters, a Los Angeles ICE spokeswoman said that sedatives are only administered to immigrants if authorized by a court, and are not used to facilitate transport. After approximately 2 years in ICE custody, Soeoth and Diouf were both released and remain in the United States. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] US President George W. Bush Wednesday followed through on his promised veto [press release] of a Democrat-backed bill that would have relaxed funding restrictions on embryonic stem cell research [S 5 materials]. The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, sent by Congress to the White House earlier this month [JURIST report], would have allowed federal funding for research using stem cells [JURIST news archive] from embryos that would otherwise be discarded from fertility clinics. It required that "individuals seeking fertility treatment donated the embryos with written informed consent and without receiving any financial or other inducements to make the donation." The Bush administration said the bill would for the first time compel taxpayers to support the destruction of human embryos, a "moral line" the president would not allow the nation to cross. In answer to criticisms of his stance, Bush also signed an executive order [text] to expand stem cell research in "ethically responsible ways" by seeking out alternative sources. This is the third time President Bush has used the veto power during his presidency. Earlier this year he vetoed the war spending bill [JURIST report] that established a timetable for US troops to begin pulling out of Iraq. Last year, Bush vetoed [JURIST report] the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005 [PDF text; HR 810 summary], again saying he would not provide federal funding for stem cell research because many consider the destruction of embryos to be murder [press briefing]. AP has more.
[JURIST] European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso [official profile] urged EU member states to compromise to resolve key differences in negotiations over the proposed constitutional treaty [JURIST news archive] during a press conference [video excerpts; talking points, PDF] Tuesday, reiterating that the EU must continue to demonstrate pragmatism, flexibility, and unity to iron out its differences. He also asked state leaders to refrain from using the "outdated language of victory or defeat." Barroso's comments follow strong statements from UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski [official profiles] setting rigid non-negotiable demands for their approval of the EU treaty. On Monday, Blair identified four non-negotiable issues [JURIST report] for the UK. Kaczynski said last week that Poland will not agree to any proposed treaty [JURIST report] unless negotiations on EU's voting system remained open to increase Poland's comparative voting power. On Friday, Kaczynski expressed optimism [JURIST report] following a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but Polish officials saw little chance of a breakthrough with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who remains doubtful [JURIST report] about what can actually be accomplished at the Brussels summit. Blair and Sarkozy have agreed that the controversial European constitution should be reconstituted into a "simplified treaty" [JURIST report] whose ratification would not require the support of the voters of the individual countries. In 2005, voters in France and the Netherlands [JURIST reports] rejected the original draft constitution in national referenda, effectively derailing the ratification process and throwing the constitution into legal limbo. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] The US House of Representatives Wednesday overwhelmingly passed the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act [HR 923 bill information] by 422-2 [roll call]. The bill would establish an Unsolved Crimes Section within the civil rights [JURIST news archive] divisions of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation [official websites], funded by an allocation of $10 million per year over the next ten years. It would also provide $2 million a year for state and local investigations. The act is named for Emmett Till [Wikipedia backgrounder; JURIST news archive], a black teenager who was murdered in 1955 by unknown parties in Mississippi after he allegedly whistled at a white woman. Richard Cohen, President of the Southern Poverty Law Center, had testified [transcript; press release] in support of the bill. A senate version [S 535 bill information] is expected to pass without difficulty. Several cold cases have been reopened [US News backgrounder] in the past few years. Last week a federal jury convicted [JURIST report] former Ku Klux Klan (KKK) member James Ford Seale [Wikipedia profile] for his role in the deaths of two 19-year-olds in Mississippi in 1964. Earlier this year Mississippi upheld the 2005 sentencing [JURIST reports] of ex-KKK member Edgar Ray Killen [Wikipedia profile], now in his 80s, to the maximum 60 years in prison for the 1964 deaths of three civil rights activists. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Libyan Supreme Court announced Wednesday it will rule on the appeal of six foreign medics [JURIST news archive] in three weeks. The five Bulgarian nurses and one Palestinian doctor were convicted [JURIST report] last year of knowingly infecting over 400 Libyan patients with the HIV virus. Analysts say that the court, which heard the medics' appeal [JURIST report] this week, is expected to uphold the convictions and refer the case to the High Judicial Council, a government body that has the authority to amend or overturn acts of the judiciary. Observers say that the Libyan government is likely to overturn the convictions if western states agree to its demands to provide medical expenses and financial compensation for the patients. Libya has previously demanded up to 10 million euros [JURIST report] (approximately $13 million) for each infected patient. Also on Tuesday, the Bulgarian government announced it has granted the Palestinian doctor Bulgarian citizenship so that he will be included in any settlement. Bulgaria, the EU and the US have been involved in negotiations with Libya but have previously rejected Libya's proposal, fearing it will amount to an admission of guilt. The six medics have been imprisoned in Libya [JURIST news archive] since 1999 but have consistently maintained their innocence, saying that they are being scapegoated for unsanitary conditions in the Libyan hospitals where they worked. The medics were sentenced to death in their second trial on December 19 after the initial guilty verdict was overturned by the Libyan Supreme Court in 2005 and a retrial ordered [JURIST reports]. Bulgaria and its allies, including the US [JURIST report] and the European Union, contend that the nurses are innocent and have said they have been tortured into admitting guilt [HRW report]. BBC News has more. Reuters has additional coverage.
[JURIST] The Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) [official website] on Wednesday convicted [press release, PDF] three former leaders of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council [MIPT backgrounder] of crimes against humanity including collective punishments, murder, rape, conscripting or enlisting child soldiers, enslavement, and pillage. The verdict, the first judgments to be handed down by the SCSL, also represents the first conviction on the recruitment and use of child soldiers in an international tribunal. The trial [JURIST report; SCSL materials] of Alex Tamba Brima, Brima Bazzy Kamara and Santigie Borbor Kanu, began in March 2005. The three are scheduled to be sentenced on July 16. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Serge Brammertz [official profile], the deputy prosecutor for investigations at the International Criminal Court, resigned [press release] on June 14, according to a Tuesday announcement from the International Criminal Court [official website; JURIST news archive]. Brammertz will continue to head the UN International Independent Investigation Commission (IIIC), which is currently investigating the February 2005 Rafik Hariri assassination [JURIST news archive] and the more recent bombing death of an anti-Syrian legislator [JURIST report]. Brammertz, who was appointed in January 2006 [JURIST report] to head the IIIC, may be resigning his position at the ICC to focus his resources on the IIIC after the Security Council approved a resolution [JURIST report] to establish an ad hoc international tribunal to try suspects in the Hariri assassination. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected to approve a request by Brammertz to extend [JURIST report] the IIIC's mandate, created by UN Security Council Resolution 1595 [PDF text], past its current June expiration date. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Members of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence [official website] expressed reservations Tuesday about the nomination of John Rizzo [official profile] as CIA general counsel, questioning the career CIA-lawyer's decision to sign off on the controversial 2002 "Bybee Memo" [PDF text; PBS backgrounder] in which the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) [official website] defined torture as physical pain equivalent in "in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily functions, or even death." During a hearing [committee materials] on his nomination, Rizzo, who is currently serving as acting CIA general counsel, said he did not have any "specific objections" to the memo and even in retrospect does not think he should have objected to a memo which he has characterized as being "over broad." Rizzo has served as a CIA lawyer for 32 years and has been acting general counsel since August 2004. President Bush nominated [announcement; White House materials] him to oversee the CIA's Office of General Counsel [official website] in March 2006. If confirmed, Rizzo will be the first CIA general counsel ever to come up through the ranks. The Bybee Memorandum has been an issue for many legal appointees of the Bush administration. In 2005, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee delayed the confirmation of then Attorney General nominee and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales [JURIST news archive] because of the controversial memo, which was disavowed [JURIST report] by the White House in 2004. AP has more.
[JURIST] Taiwanese President Chen Shui-Bian [BBC profile] is proceeding with plans to hold a largely symbolic national referendum on whether Taiwan [JURIST news archive] should attempt rejoining the United Nations (UN) [official website] under the name of Taiwan, despite opposition from China, the United States, and members of the opposition party, presidential spokesperson David Lee said Wednesday. The proposal, which will require a million signatures to end up on the ballot, appears to be an apparent departure from Chen's 2000 "Four Noes and One Without" [Wikipedia backgrounder] inaugural pledge, in which Chen promised not to formally declare Taiwanese independence, alter the national title and constitution to pursue Taiwanese independence, promote a national referendum on the issue of Taiwanese independence, and not to abolish the the National Unification Council (NUC) [Wikipedia backgrounder]. Chen effectively scrapped the NUC [BBC report] in February 2006.Reiterating the US position on the issue, State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack [official profile] told reporters at the daily press briefing [transcript; recorded video] Tuesday that:
the United States opposes any initiative that appears designed to change Taiwan's status unilaterally. This would include a referendum on whether to apply to the UN under the name of Taiwan. While such a referendum would have no practical impact on Taiwan's UN status, it would increase tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is of vital interest to the people of Taiwan and serves U.S. security interests as well. Moreover, such a move would appear to run counter to President Chen's repeated commitments to President Bush and the international community. We urge President Chen to exercise leadership by rejecting such a proposed referendum.

But the usual suspects in the used marketa Miata, a 350Z, a Honda S2000 or just about any BMW or Miniare going to eat your wallet alive. Never fear, because we've rounded up the sleepers: The best fun used cars that won't empty your bank account. Some weren't produced in great numbers and are thus hard to find (and some are sleepers because of reliability flaws). But these hot cars could be the perfect buy for someone willing to scour the market for a deal and put up with a few mechanical headaches in exchange for a great driver's car.

That's troubling to some, but you're shopping for an SUV with monster potential, a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 rated at 420 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. Speed costs and, in this instance, we're inclined to think the SRT8 Jeep Grand Cherokee is still a bargain. It handles surprisingly well on its 20-inchers, and the Brembos haul it down from blistering speeds with ease.

Ceiling paint problems, and color?
Hi guys,
Amateur painter here with my first house and first attempts with painting. I decided to paint the ceiling and then repaint because of the lines and roller marks that keep appearing. This is my third time painting and I still see roller marks. I am using a 6 inch roller as suggested by an expert, with regular Behr latex paint. Maybe its that there is not enough paint applied? Could it be that its just difficult with a small roller? Any suggestions on paint colors with a navy blue carpet would be appreciated. Thank you! |

Ceiling paint problems, and color?
Is your bathroom light fixture only a couple of inches below your bathroom ceiling?
If so, the problem is mostly the highly critical lighting angle that is going to make any imperfection on your bathroom ceiling look bigger than it really is. I'd scrape down the roller marks on your ceiling with a sharp paint scraper and repaint with a shorter nap roller making sure to roll the whole ceiling in the SAME DIRECTION. Even a difference in rolling direction will show with a critical lighting angle. PS: Look for lights mounted on brick walls. The bricks all look like their in a perfectly flat plane during the day, but at night when the light comes on, they look like a mouthful of crooked teeth. Lighting can create more problems than anything else. |

Ceiling paint problems, and color?
Hi and thank you for the response. I should have clarified that I am painting my formal dining and living room that is all one long room. The lighting comes from the north through the windows. In the morning and late afternoon is the time that I see all the roller marks. It's driving me crazy because I want to apply crown molding when I am done painting, (If I ever finish?)

How to paint your ceiling, in a few easy steps:
1) Ditch the 6-inch roller. I can't even imagine how long that is taking you... use 9-inch instead. (What "expert" suggested you paint a gigantic ceiling with that tiny little thing?) Pros use one even longer, but you will kill your back doing so unless you are used to it. 2) Get yourself a 1/2" nap Purdy White Dove. Usually a 3/8" will do okay, but since you are having problems, use something thicker. May the deity of your choice save you if you are using the BigBoxCo House Brand junk covers. 3) Use a Wooster SherLock roller frame. $6 or so at BigBox, and smooth as silk. Mate it with a sturdy pole. For your DIY use, a nice wooden one should work okay. 4) Ditch the HD paint. Go to an actual paint store and get yourself some mid-grade flat paint. (If you are using satin or eggshell paint, that is a big problem right there.) At Sherwin Williams, this would be either Classic99 or ProMar 200. Don't know what the Benjamin Moore equivalent would be. (Slick, would that be SuperHide?) Since you are having problems you may want to consider going to a higher grade paint, such as SW SuperPaint, or BM Regal. (HD or Lowes does not sell paint you want to buy...) 5) Roll your ceiling in long stripes. A 1/2" cover should be able to do 15' or so with one load of paint. Apply the paint with one pass, go back over it with another, backroll the previous stripe once, and then reload. Don't do all the crazy W, M, or N pattern stuff you see in DIY books and shows. It will just kill your arms and back and waste time for no good end. 6) When applying, use just enough force to keep the roller cover in consistent even contact with the ceiling. Do NOT "squeeze" the paint out of the roller; this WILL cause roller marks. The designers of the roller cover and paint have spent a lot of time and money figuring out how to let the paint wick right onto the wall. It doesn't need your help. 7) Wait overnight before evaluating for roller marks. The paint can look better after it cures some. SirWired |

Thank you for your suggestions and help. I will give it a go. This will be the forth time.

The biggest causes of roller lines:
1) Poor quality paint 2) Poor quality roller sleeves 3) Poor technique #1, Well...you've got that The Behr is a poor product at best I'd suggest a real ceiling paint from a real paint store Benjamin Moore's Muresco Ceiling White if at all possible It's a proven winner, and very forgiving #2...I suspect your sleeves suffer the same fate as your paint] At the Real Paint Store, get some 9" Purdy White Doves and a 9" roller cage There are other good sleeves, but I know for sure you can get the White Doves As for #3, the biggest mistake is trying to squeeze every last drop of paint out of the sleeve, like squishing a sponge Apply the paint, don't squoosh it, lay it on there-not too thick-but lay it down rather than squeeze it out With the combination of these three things, you should be just fine |

I just wanted to shout out to sirwired and slickshift. Thanks to your suggestions my ceiling paint looks sooooo much better. I bought all the products suggested. I am now a fan and follower of SW brand. Wow! What a difference.
I do have a few lines that I missed and I am just about ready to gingerly applying paint to try and conceal the error of my ways. |

Metro says 55 more workers needed to fix escalator problems
Metro officials say the agency would need to hire 55 additional workers at a cost of $6.8 million to fix the perennial problems with escalators. As part of the upcoming budget, though, Metro is only asking for 10 more workers in its escalator and elevator maintenance division.
The calculation of 55 additional workers doesn't even include maintenance needs for the new Metro line to Dulles, which will have 100 elevators and escalators.
Metro officials wouldn't answer questions from ABC7's Julie Parker Tuesday, instead pointing to the board meeting on Thursday when the official discussion will take place.
Metro's budget gap for the coming fiscal year is about $66 million. It's unclear just how many technicians the agency can hire.
In October, an escalator malfunction at the L'Enfant Plaza caused a scary situation for riders as people scrambled to get off the escalator and out of the way of others.
"They're a little bit nerve-wracking to ride, to be perfectly honest with you," said Metro rider Jenna Polivka. "The more Metro repairmen they can get out there the faster the better. It's a serious safety problem."
Out-of-service escalators often mean riders have to break a sweat to leave stations in the hot summer months. "I see a lot of people stop and catching their breath because it's a long way up," Brett Miguel observed.
The Washington Examiner reports that one of every five escalators was out of service last week, and "an outside consultant said in the fall that Metro's poor maintenance practices led the escalators and elevators to break down."

Because it was a holiday weekend -- and guests were coming from both coasts -- Jackie and Tyler wanted to provide them with an unforgettable experience. Which I understand.
In the unlikely event I'll be involved in planning anything like this in the future, though, I'd emphasize the "optional" attendance status. Even my sister-in-law, Susan (mother of the bride), admitted it was a bit overwhelming.
However, family members and friends were eager to "sponsor" various events as gifts to the couple, and things just grew and grew. If, as the old saying goes, "The joy is in the journey," all of us should have been feeling very joyful (although it was hard to tell among the yawns).
All in all, though, the reason we were there was not overshadowed by the fun. The ceremony was touching, and our "little" niece looked beautiful in her sleek ivory gown -- that is, until someone accidentally spilled red wine all over it during a toast to the couple.
Oh well, every event has to have some glitches. It's just that they preferably take place behind the scenes. The mother of the groom came to the rescue, whisking Jackie off to the restroom to attempt to remove the stain.
Back to the overall purpose of the gathering. Jackie and Tyler are serious and committed about their relationship and future plans. And the marriage could easily have taken place without all this hoopla. Maybe there was too much media influence from shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" and "Cake Boss" (but, thankfully, not "Bridezilla").
John says I packed too many shoes and, in hindsight, I agree. But as a novice to the destination wedding concept, I wanted to put my best foot forward. And this definitely required variation. I mean, beach volleyball, concerts, private shopping and rehearsal dinners call for different footwear. And what does one wear to a waffle bar brunch?
I'm definitely one who believes in the journey. And I usually think of our life's journeys in more philosophical terms. This time, though, the journey was all about getting from Friday to Sunday -- haunted by that burning existential question -- "Are we there yet?"

The only thing worse than a snitch is a spoiler.
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the episode where Walter White strangles a guy.
REGRET EVERYTHING: You HAVE to Watch This! You HAVE TO! [Click for full post]
In "Regret Everything," comedian Will Hines gives a weekly update on the thoughts that are gnawing at his brain.
Friends don't just recommend movies. They ORDER you to watch them.
"Have you seen SkyFall? Oh my God, you HAVE to see it! You HAVE to!"
They grab your forearm. They lock their eyes with yours. This is important. If you didn't speak English, the tone of conversation would suggest you had just walked by the President without noticing he was trying to give you a high-five.
"Have you seen Argo? Oh you HAVE to see it! Go see it! Why haven't you seen it?"
This is something unique to media: movies, TV shows, music and books. Friends don't just compliment it, they desperately need you to have seen it also. They must know that you had the experience they had, or else, it seems, they can no longer be friends with you. You will forever be separated by the emotional gap left by not seeing Looper.
Even though conversations about movies are often just listing scenes:
"Did you see Ghost Protocol, when he ran down the building?" says your friend with an expression of genuine interest.
"I did see that," you reply.
"Wasn't it good?" your friend asks, still fixated on you.
"Yes, it was good," you answer.
"SO good."
And for the first time in what seems like a long time, your friend relaxes and gazes elsewhere.
No one gets that way with other things, like with sweaters. [Keep Reading]

Designer styles bendy Samsung smartphone
Samsung has demo'd flexible, foldable OLED displays, and here's a concept one designer has posted to show how such a screen might change the phones we choose. Heyon You's Samsung Galaxy Skin is an ultra-slim handset with a fold over screen that lets it be folded for ease of portability and opened out for maximum display space. …
You know when..
you bend a thin piece of plastic 180degress. Then put pressure on the bend and it just snaps?
Just don't put this in your back pocket. That's all I'm saying.
Doing a Gizmodo?
Art student renderings are news now?
Rendered 3rd party imaginings are rarely ever practical or influence anything.
I hope they've patented the idea
You wouldn't want anyone to get any ideas now would you?
You'll be hearing from my Fruity Lawyers
Dear Samsung, This is clearly a blatent copy of my client Apfel corp's original creation. ..
Your new phone has the same plastic body with buttons and a screen as my clients original creation .
Apfel Corps original creation was made some 390 years ago and marketed as a Harpischord tuning device. Therefore all physical objects created in it's original image are subject to copyright.
Whilst writing I am also instructed to inform you that the blank sheet of A4 paper in front of you is similarly a illegal copy of Apfel Corps 1731 invention of a blank sheet of paper.
In that the look and feel, shape, colour and number of corners does correspond with my clients original creation.
We estimate the damages caused by your breach of these Apfel Corps copyright at One Trillion United States Dollars per illegal copy.
Please remit same within 24 hours and cease and desist to use blank sheets of A4 paper forthwith.
Mssrs Sue, Grabbit & Run -Attorneys at Law.
Nice - but...
...most things over at Yanko require at least one fundamental law of Nature to be rewritten; two if it's more complex than a cup holder.
According to the specs, the phone has a 4" screen. That must mean it's about an inch across - no wonder it seems to change size in every render. It also has a resolution of 800 x 480, which must make for some awfully long and skinny rectangular pixels.
Really, if these guys going to dignify flights of fantasy like this with the term "design", they might at least spend five minutes making up plausible sounding specifications.

Update coming.
The little pink Pokemon flew down the halls heading towards the target. It turned around, sensing another power. Before it could react it was banged against the wall by a powerful psychic blast. The Pokemon fell, and moved no more.
"Looks like I'm the better of the two," The killer mumbled. "Shame, if you were paying attention i could have had a good fight."
Mewtwo hurried to find his friend, and soon the word of their victory was hear through the halls.
The steel type lest out a beeping noise, happy that he had lived, but sad that he had lost his father.
Heatran walked over to the steel type, and tried to hug him, but stopped her self before she could cause any burns. They had both lost friends in this "War".
She had never felt this way before, her annoying know it all bother was gone, and his killers were also gone. That didn't make her feel any better though. hopefully she would be able to keep her powers under control until Arceus came back.
Roton looked around the halls, now he could finally get that new shiny TV!

Wilma Rudolph biography
Born premature on June 23, 1940, in St. Bethlehem, Tennessee, Wilma Rudolph was a sickly child who had to wear a brace on her left leg. She overcame her disabilities through physical therapy and hard work, and went on to become a gifted runner. Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals at a single Olympics in 1960, at the Summer Games in Rome, and later worked as a teacher and track coach. She died in Tennessee in 1994.
Early Life
Wilma Glodean Rudolph was born premature and sickly on June 23, 1940, in St. Bethlehem, Tennessee, the 20th of 22 children to parents Ed and Blanche Rudolph, and went on to become an African-American pioneer of track and field. But the road to victory was not an easy one for Wilma Rudolph. Stricken with polio as a child, she had problems with her left leg and had to wear a brace. It was with great determination and the help of physical therapy that she was able to overcome the disease as well as her resulting physical disabilities.
Growing up in the South before segregation was outlawed, Rudolph attended an all-black school, Burt High School, where she played on the basketball team. A naturally gifted runner, she was soon recruited to train with Tennessee State University track coach Ed Temple.
Pioneering Olympic Medalist
While still in high school, Wilma Rudolph, nicknamed "Skeeter" for her famous speed, qualified for the 1956 Summer Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia. The youngest member of the U.S. team at the age of 16, she won a bronze medal in the sprint relay event. After finishing high school, Rudolph enrolled at Tennessee State University, where she studied education. She also trained hard for the next Olympics.
Held in Rome, Italy, the 1960 Olympic Games were a golden time for Rudolph. After setting a world record of 11.3 seconds in the 100-meter dash in the semifinals, she won the 100 in the final round with a time of 11.0. Similarly, she broke the Olympic record in the 200-meter dash (23.2 seconds) in the semifinals before winning the 200 (24 seconds) in the final. She was also part of the U.S. team that beat the world record in the 4-by-100-meter relay (44.4 seconds) in the Olympic semifinals before winning the relay in the final in 44.5 seconds. Most notably, Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals at a single Olympic Games. The first-class sprinter instantly became one of the most popular athletes of the Rome Games as well as an international superstar, lauded around the world for her groundbreaking achievements.
Following the Games, Rudolph made numerous appearances on television and received several honors, including the Associated Press Woman Athlete of the Year Award, which she received twice, in both 1960 and 1961. She retired from competition not long after, becoming a teacher and a track coach, but her accomplishments on the Olympic track remained her best known: Throughout the '60s, Rudolph was widely considered to be the world's fastest woman.
Death and Legacy
Rudolph shared her remarkable story with the world in 1977 with her autobiography, Wilma.
Her book was later turned into a TV film. In the 1980s, she was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and established the Wilma Rudolph Foundation to promote amateur athletics. Wilma Rudolph died on November 12, 1994, near Nashville, Tennessee, losing a battle with brain cancer.
Rudolph is remembered as one of the fastest women in track and as a source of great inspiration for generations of African-American athletes. She once stated, "Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday." In 2004, the United States Postal Service honored the Olympic champion by featuring her likeness on a 23-cent stamp.
