- There are actually differences between the terms nation (naród), state (stan) and country (kraj) As shown by yheir etymology (origin). Nation (likeJan 27, 2013View SourceThere are actually differences between the terms "nation" (naród), "state" (stan) and "country" (kraj) As shown by yheir etymology (origin). Nation (like "native") derives from "birth" (urodzenie) or "clan" (ród) relationships and does not imply state citizenship (a legal rights concept). So citizens of Poland RPII were of many nationalities (narodowości). Country (kraj) is more of a geographic concept - like "lake country". Of course all these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, such as Polish/German/French nations, states, or countries. This sometimes leads to confusion in communication, sometimes to muddled thinking, and in extreme cases (like in WWII Kresy) to ethnic cleansing and genocide (eg when a nation demands statehood and dominance in a particular country area).

I am not necessarily condemning her because of this, as we can all be guilty of doing the same - the present writer included!You mentioned the Bieszczady region and the ethnic cleansing that took place there. This was part of what is known as Akcja Wisla which uprooted Lemkos and other Ruthenians/Ukrainians from their ancestral lands. Remember, of course, that this took place during the Communist era, at the behest of Moscow.Interestingly, I knew some Lemko folk who were victims of this tragedy. Yet they did not become anti-Polish as a result. They were aware of the circumstances behind their painful experience and were very friendly towards the Poles they came across in their new land of Australia, and were happy to speak in (non-bastardised!) Polish. I think they could have taught that Lithuanian lady a thing or two! By the way, as those native to Bieszczady were mostly Greek Catholics, and not Orthodox, it would seem more likely that the service you witnessed was led by GC and RC clergy.Your contributions are much appreciated.Zenon KuzikNew Zealand

Subject: [www.Kresy-Siberia.org] Ethnicity vs. citizenshipDear ZenonLanguage is very "organic" it changes! There are many factors which affect that.In my humble opinion, it is not that language is/was better, just different, evolved,and many factors affect that.Just consider the variants in English around the world.That is a fact, and we tend to cling to what is familiar to us.That too is understandable.The difference in language is significantly noticeable when I speak to younger generation Poles (I am mother in law to a gorgeous "real" Pole, 10 years out of Poland).I speak very reasonable Polish (apparently) and I do hear the "difference" in the younger generation.As for the lady from LithuaniaHer experience is obviously painful, her memories are based on her personal experiences and stories.This why I embrace, to the best of my ability (not always successfully) an openness to learn about/from other cultures before forming cautious opinions.I was in the Bieszczady region of Poland a few years ago, I don't exactly know the facts between the changing borders, but I was, for the first time, seeing evidence of ethnic cleansing, by Poles, which caused me terrible pain.There was an extraordinary process of reconciliation happening when I was (purely by fluke) there. A marvellous service, in a church rebuilt from rubble, officiated at by Roman Catholic and Orthodox priests (bishops or even higher I think) One of the most moving days in my life.It filled me with hope for the human race.Basia Zielinska (Sydney)From: Zenon Kuzik <zenon.kuzik@...>

Subject: Re: [www.Kresy-Siberia.org] Ethnicity vs. citizenshipDear Basia,What a great reply - thank you! Stanislaw from Moscow's contribution certainly gave food for thought as well.Another aspect that "distances" me from modern Poland is that I have come across recent immigrants from that country who are not at all interested in connecting with the older Poles of my parents' generation. They seem to regard them as foreigners! Anyhow, I was heartened when a man in Wroclaw, whose family was originally from Volhynia, said that my father spoke much better Polish than most people in present-day Poland. We multi-ethnics from the former Eastern Poland are the true heirs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What a shame that the Lithuanian lady referred to by Dan Ford in his recent post has such a narrow (blinkered?) view of the past.Gratefully,Zenon KuzikAcross the Ditch from Sydney

I am seriously bummed. I will be working on the night of one of the coolest wine events of the year.
A week from tonight, on Oct. 2, the Parkway Theater will screen "A Year in Burgundy," which is just what it sounds like: a chronicle of 12 months in what many of us consider the world's foremost wine region.
Divided into four chapters denoting the seasons, the documentary covers the tumultuous 2011 vintage, with up-close-and-personal looks at everyone from an 80-year-old matriarch known as "the Queen of Burgundy" to a 2-year-old who might eventually fill that role.
James Molesworth, one of the Wine Spectator's best writers, calls it "lovingly shot … tender and real. … It captures the romance and allure of the wine business without an overabundance of schmaltz."
So the film itself is worth the price of a regular movie admission. But for just $20 ($25 at the door), you not only can see the movie but enjoy some Burgundian wines and appetizers (from Meritage and Café Arnaud) beforehand, and coffee and desserts afterwards.
The folks at Martine's Wines, Grand Père Wines and South Lyndale Liquors are responsible for those extras, and proceeds go to Alliance Francaise. Tickets are available here,
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the DVD. Sigh.
"Minnesota Wine Country" might sound like an oxymoron to some, but the rapid improvement in the quality of state-made wine is for real. And the phrase is not some promotional pitch but the name of a newish building at the State Fair.
In its second year since taking over the old Epiphany Dining Hall, a consortium of wineries has added a wealth of education programs, two or three a day featuring 20 speakers.
The topics range from food pairings (yes, including pronto pups in some sessions) and home winemaking to more scientific looks at the U of M's grape-breeding program, the importance of soil type and what makes Minnesota wines distinctive.
The talent is wide-ranging: stellar winemakers Steve Zeller (Parley Lake) and Kyle Peterson (WineHaven); plant gurus Gary Gardner and Katie Cook; Peter Hemstad, who fits both of those categories; local food/wine instructors Robin Asbell, Heather Hartman, Stephanie Meyer and Leslee Miller, and others.
The talent extends to the musical front, where different acts perform from 7 to 9:30 every night.
I will, however, reserve judgment on one addition, from Minnesota Wine Country's menu: wine-glazed deep-fried meatloaf on a stick.
For a complete schedule, go here.
Millner Heritage Vineyard in Kimball, Minn., took home the Minnesota Governor's Cup, and Parley Lake in Waconia earned three of the 15 gold medals awarded. But the big winner at Friday's International Cold Climate Wine Competition almost certainly was the University of Minnesota.
U of M-developed grapes formed the basis not only for Millner Heritage's "Little Iza" but for the "best of show" wines in all three categories: red, white and sparkling. Those three winners came from wineries elsewhere but showed the continuing promise of hybrid grapes released by the U over the last two decades.
Le Crescent had a great day, thanks to "Little Izy," white best-of-show Parallel 44 (Wis.) Le Crescent and as part of a blend (with U of M cousin frontenac gris) in Illinois Sparkling Company's best-of-show "Stereo" sparkling wine.
Illinois Sparkling, by the way, joined Parley Lake as the only wineries to earn three golds. The Waconia winery was cited for two wines made from frontenac gris, a white table wine and the "Parley Vu Rose," plus its Marquette Reserve.
And Marquette, the U of M's most recent release in 2006, continued its process of becoming a world-class grape. Besides Parley Lake, Galena (Ill.) Cellars and Chankaska Creek in St. Peter, Minn., which opened just over a year ago, earned golds for Marquettes.
Meanwhile, Shelburne (Vt.) Vineyard's Marquette Reserve was named best red for the third year in a row. I was a judge in the first of those years, and can vouch that this wine could show well against any domestic red under $50.
It's now safe to say that wines made from these grapes, in the right hands, have moved from great potential to great performance. And that it's time for more restaurants that hype their local food sourcing to get on board with these wines.
Mike Hendry's family makes honest wines. The Hendry Ranch reds, whites and pinks just taste, well, like what wine is supposed to taste like: pure and rustic, well-defined and distinctive. Sometimes it's just as simple as that.
Maybe it's because his family has been farming the same Napa turf since 1939. Maybe it's because they work with grapes that they understand, from albarino to zinfandel. But most likely it's because of the caring hand these folks bring to growing grapes and transforming them into fermented juice.
What's absolutely certain is that Mike Hendry, the winery's third-generation vineyard manager, can provide a better explanation when he visits the Twin Towns this month. One of my favorite merchants, Top Ten's Bill Abrahamson, has arranged a seminar/tasting at 7 p.m. July 16 at Ray J's Banquet Room in Woodbury.
The cost? $10, which can be applied toward the purchase of Hendry Ranch wines. Which means it's gonna be free once you taste these wines and hear this story. For info, call 651-501-1199.
There'll be no rest for the wicked on the weekend on May 18-19, as two of the year's best events unfold.
Perhaps my favorite wine tasting of the year, Solo Vine's rosé tent gala, commences in an enlarged space next to the store at 517 Selby Av. in St. Paul. There's always super-swell food on hand and a bevy of tasty fermented grape juice.
And not just pink but white wines and plenty of that stuff with tiny bubbles. The event costs $35 and runs from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, rain or shine; call 651-602-9515 or go to solovinowines.com
I guess that means that, for me at least, Saturday the 18th will be the day to head to Minnesota Monthly's GrillFest, where some great chefs, wine wholesalers and product purveyors will be on hand.
This one runs through Sunday, May 18 & 19, 1-5 p.m., both days, at the Depot (225 3rd Ave. S.) in Minneapolis. Tickets are $30 at Grillfestival.com or $35 at the show.
Guess I'll have to put off the gardening chores for yet another weekend.

Consumer Motivations and Driving Online Engagement
Villanueva found that a customer acquired through word of mouth was more profitable to a business than if they were gained by other means. He also found that opinions regarding brands shared between online users are more influential on consumer behaviour than any other traditional type of marketing, such as offline advertising. This, coupled with the growing emphasis placed on social signals for SEO purposes, means what people are saying about brands online (electronic word of mouth) is now more important than ever.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Troy. Ancient city in Asia Minor that is ruled by King Priam. Faced with an unrelenting siege by the more powerful Greeks, the Trojans debate the wisdom of continuing their resistance. Troilus, who loves the Greek woman Cressida, represents the Trojans, who idealize love as integral to chivalrous behavior. Hector, a reasonable man epitomizing Troy's best values and strengths, urges his brothers to abandon the war as neither justified nor worth the cost.
Greek camp
Greek camp. Military encampment outside Troy, which the Greeks have been besieging for seven years. In contrast to the idealistic Trojans, the Greeks, who are soldiers, not courtiers, are pragmatic and ego-centered—differences reflected in the play's two centers. Lack of progress in the siege has demoralized the Greek leaders, whom Agamemnon, the overall commander, tries to hearten by declaring that the long siege has been a test of Greek stamina. Ulysses argues that the problems of the Greeks lie in a lack of order and discipline, not in Trojan strength. Rather than debate their motive for war, the leaders urge their greatest hero, Achilles, to fight.
Battlefield. The two sides meet with the strength initially on the Trojan side. The Greek victory spells the end of Troy and its chivalric code as well.
Modern Connections

You know I remember last year thinking several times how the other team never misses.Didn't realize it was that much
Opposing kickers were a mind-blowing 29-for-30 against the Jets last year, with the only miss by Sebastian Janikowski from 56 yards. That's just absurd bad luck for the Jets, unlikely to carry over to 2012.
You know I remember last year thinking several times how the other team never misses.Didn't realize it was that much
I wonder how many of those were long FGs like 45+ yards. I think we gave up a lot of long drives which resulted in shorter FGs. I am not sure what the stats are but would be interested to see if someone has the info.
made up for the many missed field goals the year before
I won't say it cost the Jets the season -- God knows they were a mess the last three games -- but this is some pretty incredible bad luck.
Folk was under 70% in FG attempts, so that's a pretty big variance. Imagine what the team's potential could be if this year opponent's FG % returns to normal, Sanchez cuts down his TOs by 1/3, and the offense eliminates TDs off of TOs. Those are all realistic improvements that "could" be big factors this season
If opposing kickers made Folk's 70%, then that would be about 27 points off the board.
I'm sure that would translate to a game here or there.
Incredible. I wonder what the record is.
20-29 yds: 5-6
30-39 yds: 6-6
40-49 yds: 5-7
50+ yds: 3-6
20-29 yds: 9-9
30-39 yds: 7-7
40-49 yds: 7-7
50+ yds: 6-7
Disagree. If the Jets gave up a lot of long drives, then they wouldn't have finished 5th in yards allowed.
The problem was that the offense often times put the defense in a crappy position. And the reason why opponents attempted more short FGs than the Jets was because the Jets scored TDs on a very high percentage of their red zone drives.
It was bad luck or not a focus for Westoff. I don't know how to make this show up as a table so here's the link: http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/pl...t/fieldGoalPct
Nobody got close to 99%
Jets also had extremely high % of fumbles LOST. Very rarely did they recover their own fumble.
People predicting the Jets to be a bottom feeding team just because of last year are going to be rudely awoken. The team went 8-8 with a ton of bad breaks (FGs, fumbles, scheduling), a piss poor offensive coordinator, and an injured QB. Regression to the mean gives us a few wins extra, and that's with no improvement from anyone.
I used to tell friends that were watching Jet games with me that it seems like NO ONE ever misses a field goal against us, I guess I was right.
Not only do they not miss, it seems every kick from no matter how far away goes right through the middle!
Then you get those lucky Pats & a guy can't kick a freaking 32 yarder against them?
It's pretty surreal when you look at the %
People said the same thing about the "lucky" Jets in the Chargers playoff game - how can a guy miss all three of his field goal attempts, including a 36 and a 40-yarder?? And that was a 3-point game.
The Jets ranked 32nd in opponents' FG% last year, but in 2010 they ranked 16th, and in 2009 they were the 3rd "luckiest" team in the league wrt to field goals against. Over the entire course of the Rex era, the Jets are smack dab in the middle of the road, with an average ranking of 17th. For comparison, the Pats' average ranking over that period is 10th.
Last year was rough, but overall the Jets aren't particularly lucky or unlucky when it comes to field goals.
You might be right. But that also might speak to the inconsistency of our defense. Many 3 and outs but then they would give up a long drive. Denver game comes to mind.
I agree with the second part. Maybe we gave up a lot of drives that went deep into our territory, which was not all the defenses fault as you explained.
Not sure what you mean with the bolded part.
It's hard to believe that opposing teams/FG kickers combined for 13 out of 14 FG's from 40+ yards.
Jets couldn't catch a break last season.

32d Air Expeditionary Group
32d Air Operations Group | |

The 32d Air Expeditionary Group is a provisional unit of the United States Air Force (USAF). It is assigned to United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) to activate or inactivate at any time.[1] It was last active in December 2006 at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.[1]
Its mission is to provide command and control of expeditionary units as directed by the Commander, USAFE.
The United States Army constituted the 32d Pursuit Group in late 1940. Shortly afterwards, on 1 January 1941, the Air Corps activated the group at Rio Hato Army Air Base, Panama.[2] For the most part, however, the group consisted only of cadres provided by other units in the Canal Zone.[3] Although headquarters were at Rio Hato, as a tactical organization it was located at Albrook Field, where all pursuit organizations in the Panama Canal Zone were concentrated, and its squadrons had only an average of 4 to 6 officers assigned.[3] The group and its three assigned flying squadrons, the 51st,[4] 52d,[5] and 53d Pursuit Squadrons,[6] had the mission of protecting the Panama Canal using obsolete Boeing P-26 Peashooters. On 9 December 1941, just after Pearl Harbor, the newly redesignated Caribbean Air Force moved the unit to France Field in the Canal Zone.[2] The Air Corps equipped the 32d Pursuit Group with Curtiss P-36 Hawks to strengthen the defenses of the region.
On 15 May 1942, the US Army Air Forces redesignated the unit as the 32d Fighter Group [2] (32 FG) and provided it Lockheed P-38 Lightnings. However, the group swapped these fighters for Curtiss P-40 Warhawks. From 1941 to 1943 the group trained in flying intercept and fighter sweeps over the area surrounding the Canal Zone. However, as the perceived threat to the Canal Zone diminished, the US Army Air Force disbanded the 32d Fighter Group at France Field on 1 November 1943.[2]
Reconnaissance in the Far East[edit]
In August 1948, the USAF established the 32d Composite Wing, which was activated by Far East Air Forces the same month at Kadena Field, Okinawa as part of the implementation of the Wing Base reorganization (Hobson Plan) of the USAF, replacing the 316th Bombardment Wing and various support elements.[7][8] In October, the wing also replaced the 71st Tactical Reconnaissance Wing,[7] which had become a paper unit attached to the wing.[9] The wing had no operational group, but the 5th Reconnaissance Group's 23d Reconnaissance Squadron (Very Long Range, Photographic) and the 71st Tactical Reconnaissance Group's 31st Reconnaissance Squadron (Very Long Range, Photographic) were attached to the wing for operations.[7][10] The wing mission was to provide the Thirteenth Air Force with photographic air reconnaissance and search and rescue support.[7] The wing, along with its 23d and 31st Reconnaissance Squadrons, used Boeing B/FB-17 Flying Fortresses, Boeing RB-29 Superfortresses, and Curtiss C-46 Commandos to accomplish this mission until the Air Force inactivated the wing in 1949[7] and replaced it as the host wing at Kadena with the 6332d Station Wing[11]
Air Defense of the United States[edit]
At the end of 1956, USAF reconstituted the 32d Fighter Group as the 32d Fighter Group (Air Defense), subsequently activating it at Minot AFB, North Dakota as part of Air Defense Command (ADC) on 8 February 1957.[2] The group assumed USAF host responsibilities for the base and was assigned a medical unit[12] and three support squadrons to perform these duties.[12][13][14] On 1 April 1959, the 32d FG was reassigned from the 29th Air Division to the Minot Air Defense Sector, which was activated at Minot.[1] In November, the 433d Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (FIS) moved to Minot from Ladd AFB, AK,[15] but the squadron was a paper unit, without aircraft or personnel.[16] It was not until 1960 that the first truly operational unit, the 5th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron moved to Minot, was assigned to the Group,[17] and began to train to become operational with Convair F-106 Delta Darts.[17][18]
By 1960 the first elements of Strategic Air Command (SAC)'s 4136th Strategic Wing (SW) had activated at Minot.[12] The 32d managed the rapid expansion of facilities to support both ADC and SAC at Minot[19] By 1961, however, Minot had become a larger facility than could be managed by a group. The first Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses of the 4136 SW's 525th Bombardment Squadron[12] were arriving at Minot, and the expansion of the base required a full wing to operate it.[20]
As a result, the 32 FG was discontinued on 1 February 1961, and USAF organized the wing, now redesignated the 32d Fighter Wing (Air Defense), at Minot in 1961 to replace it.[7] The 5th FIS and some of the 32d FG support organizations were reassigned to the wing or its newly activated 32d Air Base Group.[7] Shortly thereafter in 1962, it was apparent that the primary mission of Minot would be to Support SAC and USAF transferred the base to SAC[19] and discontinued the wing and its support elements,[7][12] while the 5th FIS was reassigned to Minot Air Defense Sector.[17]
Tactical Fighters[edit]
In April 1964, Tactical Air Command activated the wing as the 32d Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) at George AFB, California, to be equipped with F-4C Phantom IIs.[7] The wing had four assigned tactical fighter squadrons, the 782nd, 783d, 784th, and 785th.[7][21] But, before the wing became fully equipped and trained with the new fighter aircraft, the Air Force replaced the wing with the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing, which returned to the US from Japan in July.[21][22] In anticipation of this replacement, three fighter-interceptor squadrons, the 68th, 431st, and 497th, were transferred to the 32 TFW shortly before its inactivation.[7] These squadrons were redesignated as tactical fighter squadrons and transferred to the 8th TFW when the 32 TFW was inactivated, while its original four squadrons inactivated with the wing.[21]
NATO Support in Europe[edit]
In 1989, the Netherlands government allowed United States Air Forces in Europe to expand the Air Force squadron at Soesterberg Air Base[23] to group status. Thus, in late 1989 USAFE activated the recently redesignated 32d Tactical Fighter Group at Soesterberg. The group assumed command of the 32d Tactical Fighter Squadron, along with eight support squadrons, a medical clinic, and an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) flight.[24] After United States Senate ratification of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Reduction Treaty, the group supported the Soviet verification team inspecting the reductions at nearby Woensdrecht Air Base.[24] In 1990, the group supported Desert Storm both at its home base and at deployed locations.[25] Following the war, the group deployed personnel and equipment to Incirlik AB, Turkey to support operations Proven Force and Provide Comfort, to support humanitarian efforts for refugees.[26]
In 1992, the group was reorganized on a downsized model of the USAF Objective Wing as the 32d Fighter Group, losing two squadrons and the EOD flight, while most of its support squadrons were reduced to flights and reassigned to its support or logistics squadrons. With the end of the Cold War a major force draw-down occurred in Europe and USAF reduced its fighter force structure. As a result in July 1994, the 32d Tactical Fighter Group Moved to Ramstein Air Base and assumed a new mission.[1] It was replaced as USAF host unit at Soesterberg by the 632d Air Base Squadron.[27] Its aircraft were sold to the Royal Saudi Air Force.[citation needed]
Upon arrival at Ramstein, USAF redesignated the unit as the 32d Air Operations Group,[1] as part of the USAFE Theater Air and Space Operations Center (USAFE TASOC) at Kapaun Air Station, Germany.[1] The USAFE Theater Air and Space Operations Center is an operational echelon which functions to consolidate operational command and control of joint space forces, similar to the functioning of a traditional Air Operations Center (AOC), but is classed, by AF doctrine, as a "Functional AOC." The USAFE TASOC, supplies the Joint Functional Component Command for Space operations expertise to create space situational awareness and command and control space forces. All of these efforts are in continuous around-the-clock support of global and theater operations. The 32d was inactivated on 1 December 2006 and replaced by the Third Air Force's 603rd Air Operation Center.

[JURIST] Agents of former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet [BBC profile; JURIST news archive], were sentenced Friday for their role in the revenge killings of three political dissidents. Fifteen people were convicted in connection with the killings, which came after an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the dictator in 1986. The prison terms range from five to 18 years with the highest sentence given to Alvaro Corbalan. Corbalan is a retired army major and former operative chief of the National Information Center [FAS backgrounder], Pinochet's security service. He and many others who were sentenced are presently in prison on other human rights violations committed during Pinochet's 1973-90 dictatorship. According to details from the court, the 15 security agents picked up Jose Carrasco, and the two other dissidents at their homes on September 7, 1986 and then killed them in retaliation for the assassination attempt. A subsequent investigation showed that the victims were killed because they were known to be members of leftist groups, and that they were not involved with the attack on Pinochet. Pinochet died of a heart attack [JURIST report] in December 2006 without ever facing trial on multiple charges of tax evasion and human rights violations. AP has more.
[JURIST] Six French aid workers were flown back to France Friday after they were sentenced to eight years of hard labor [JURIST report] by a Chadian court earlier in the week for attempting to kidnap 103 African children. The workers, affiliated with the Zoe's Ark [advocacy website] charity, were returned a day after the French Foreign Ministry formally requested [press release, in French; JURIST report] that Chadian authorities transfer them to a French prison. The request was made under the 1976 France-Chad Agreement on Judicial Matters [PDF text], which allows for transfer of trials and sentences between the nations. The French judicial system does not include hard labor sentences so the aid workers will likely serve their sentences in French prison.The aid workers claimed that they were attempting to airlift orphaned children [JURIST news archive] from the war-torn Sudanese region of Darfur to safety in Europe, but investigations revealed that most of the children were not actually orphans. Last month, Chad released three Spanish air crew and a Belgian pilot [JURIST report] held in Chad in connection with the attempted airlift. Three Chadians and one Sudanese national are also facing trial in Chad for complicity in kidnapping and fraud. AP has more.
[JURIST] The interim parliament in Nepal [JURIST news archive] voted Friday to end the nearly 240-year-old monarchy and to turn the nation into a republic. The vote supported an agreement [JURIST report] reached earlier this week by representatives of Nepal's leading political parties to abolish the country's monarchy as part of a plan to bring members of Communist Party of Nepal - Maoists (CPN-M) [party website] back into the country's government. The decision was passed by a majority of 270 votes in the 329-seat parliament, with only three votes against it. The removal of the king would take place only after elections for a special assembly, which are to be held in April of next year. Nepal's Maoist Communists left Nepal's interim government [JURIST news archive] in protest in September and have been boycotting future elections over the monarchy issue. They insist the monarchy should be scrapped as Nepal transitions to a republic. The current monarch, King Gyanendra [BBC profile], gained political notoriety in 2005 when he dissolved the civilian government and seized power [JURIST report] himself. A High-Level Probe Commission later concluded [JURIST report] that Gyanendra and some 200 members of his administration were responsible for violent response to pro-democracy protests that left 22 dead and more than 5,000 wounded before the King relinquished governmental control. AP has more. eKantipur.com has local coverage.
[JURIST] The Taiwan High Court [official website] on Friday upheld the acquittal [press release, in Chinese] of former Taipei mayor Ma Ying-jeou [personal website, in Chinese] on graft charges, clearing the way for Ma to run in Taiwan's presidential elections in March 2008. Ma was acquitted earlier this year by a lower court on charges [JURIST reports] that he diverted $333,000 of public money into his private back account. Prosecutors appealed the verdict and brought an additional breach of trust charge against Ma, but were unsuccessful in both efforts. Ma had denied the charges [JURIST report], arguing that the practice was legitimate because he used the money to fund municipal events and pay city employees. Allegations of corruption have recently been raised against other Taiwanese officials, including Vice President Annette Lu [JURIST report]. She has pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to allegations that she claimed 5.6 million Taiwan dollars in special expenses using more than 1,000 false receipts from December 2000 to May 2006 in her capacity as vice president. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [official website] has indicated that the agency will comply with congressional requests to produce documents related to the EPA's decision to deny California's request for a waiver [JURIST reports] that would have allowed it and 16 other states following its lead to impose stricter greenhouse gas emissions standards on cars and light trucks. After the EPA decision last week, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee [official websites] said they would hold hearings on the issue, and EPA General Counsel Roger Martella, Jr. [official profile] issued a memo Thursday instructing EPA employees to preserve and produce all documents and communications between the EPA and the White House in response to the inquiries. There have been reports that agency staffers advised that the decision to deny the waiver would not survive a court challenge, but EPA administrator Stephen L. Johnson [official profile] has defended the decision, saying the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 [HR 6 materials; WH fact sheet], signed into law earlier this month by President Bush, satisfies what California was seeking to accomplish.Johnson said last week that the White House prefers a single unified national standard to a state-by-state network of regulations. The Energy Independence and Security Act will require automakers to reach an industry-wide average fuel efficiency for cars, SUVs and small trucks of 35 miles per gallon by 2020. This is the first time that the EPA has denied California a waiver since Congress established the state's right to seek Clean Air Act waivers in 1967 and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said California will appeal the decision [statement text].

Casting Couch: Host A Show On The Discovery Channel -- Super Testing!!
The Discovery Channel has an open casting call until midnight on August 6th looking for a male host for a new show they're producing -- Super Testing. So what is Super Testing?
The show explores the world of extreme testing - a world of explosions, planned crashes, and controlled chaos. The show is produced on a level as big as the subjects it covers. There are no scale models. No recreations. No "staged reality". Our cameras are involved in actual tests conducted by the U.S. military, government agencies, corporations and inventors around the world.
And who are they looking for?
We're looking for someone who is
* In his late 30s to early 40s.
* Smart - he needs to be credible in his interactions with scientists and engineers. Science, stuntman, or engineering background is a strong plus. He does not have to be an "expert" in science or engineering per se, but should grasp the science or engineering concepts at least well enough to ask the kind of intelligent questions that our intelligent viewers appreciate.
* Tough, but an "Everyman" - He should be credible dealing with military officials, mechanics, pilots, test subjects - the whole range of folks who build things and sometimes blow things up all in the name of progress. Military, construction, or mechanical engineering background is a strong plus. He should come off as knowledgeable but likeable - and definitely a man's man.
* Charismatic, but not too "hosty" - He should be able to explain the who-what-where-when-how of the testing in a clear, direct, and always conversational way. We need someone who seems comfortable in his own skin and comfortable on camera. But he should also be comfortable letting the light shine on the real stars of the show - the people who he encounters, who make "super testing" a reality.
Interesting, Discovery channel. But you could have made it a lot shorter. It should have read:
We're looking for someone who is:Mike Rowe.
And, since it's Friday and I have a man-crush on Mike Rowe that's borderline sexual, I've included several MUST MUST MUST SEE videos of Mike when he used to sell crap on QVC. If you're a Mike Rowe fan you must watch them, and even if you're not, they're hilarious. Search Youtube for a bunch more if you like them.

Really great look for the newly rehabed dining room in my home.
This is a lovely fixture and met all my expectations.
This chandelier is very, very nice. Included instructions were not great that that's not unusual. We finally got it up and it looks fantastic.
I love, love this nickel chandelier. When I first got it, the item was damaged in transit (the box it came in was totally destroyed). I got in touch with customer service and they were so great in sending me a replacement. I couldn't ask for anything else. I am so happy that I can shop at Overstock for almost anything I need and always get good quality and good service. Keep up the good work.
Was kinda Leary ordering on line, however when the product was received I had no regrets. Great product and classy.

Other contributors are acknowledged in our Copyright and Credits statement.
IMOD 4.5 contains several major functional enhancements plus the usual assortment of bug fixes. The highlights of this version include:
IMOD 4.5.8 is an update with some minor bug fixes, listed here. Here is the complete list of changes in the first release of IMOD 4.5.
Changes in previous versions:
Hardware and Operating System Requirements
Java for eTomo: The eTomo program for building tomograms requires a Java run-time environment. We provide links to Java packages for Linux and Windows on the Download page. However, Java comes in many Windows installations, and the Java versions that come in current Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise, and Ubuntu distributions also usually work with eTomo (see the IMOD Guide for details).
Cygwin for Windows: For full functionality, the Windows version requires installation of a Unix toolkit called Cygwin. We provide a package for installing this on the Download page. IMOD 4.5 should also run reliably on more current versions of Cygwin, even on 64-bit Windows.
OpenGL: IMOD requires OpenGL libraries.
The recommended configuration for running the IMOD software is:
