Our deep thanks,

UPDATE: Caleb Behn and Fractured Land
featured in The Globe & Mail!
"[Fractured Land] follows Caleb Behn, one of B.C.'s bright, emerging native political leaders, as he explores the complex issues surrounding development in the northeast gas patch. That's where, as the son and grandson of chiefs, he grew up hunting moose, fishing – and watching his community get torn apart by violence, alcohol abuse and poverty.
Mr. Behn, who sports tattoos, a Mohawk haircut and nicely cut suits, says the goal of the film is to shake people awake.
He wants more than anything else to move the debate over oil and gas development away from the confrontational front lines and into the living rooms of the nation. ..."
- Mark Hume, The Globe & Mail, 6 Jan 2013: Fracking issue causes reel buzz
Help us share Caleb's story with the world
and raise awareness about this important issue!
Meet Caleb Behn, a young Dene man from the wilds of northeastern British Columbia "where the mountains meet the plains" and the subject of an exciting documentary-transmedia project called Fractured Land.
An eloquent, inspiring First Nations law student, Caleb is on the front lines of some of the world's biggest hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") operations, amid exquisite boreal wilderness.
We - filmmakers Fiona Rayher and Damien Gillis - have been following Caleb for the past two years, helping tell his story of a land and worldview under attack. And now we're reaching out to our networks to raise funds to complete the film, while building a coalition to support the work of Caleb and others around Western Canada.
>> Check out our rewards to backers of this project in the righthand sidebar!
Our journey has taken us to places of largely unseen beauty - from Caleb's traditional territories, where he's fished and hunted moose his whole life, to Maori lands in New Zealand, where he sought to learn how Indigenous law could be blended with the current legal system in order to protect our sacred ecosystems.
Now back in Canada, Caleb's making a lot of noise - touring BC to speak about his experiences and concerns, and applying his legal education toward building bridges across divided communities.
Alongside his Nation, Caleb is part of a new dialogue on sustainable, equitable energy development in Canada.
DONATE toward the completion of the film and receive exciting GIFTS, each of which helps tell the story of how we HEAL this 'fractured land.'
"We are in the fight of our lives - this is much bigger than pipelines
or fracking. … And thousands upon thousands of
non-native people are helping us now.
First Nations people are providing the leadership,
but … this time, we're not going to be alone."
– Grand Chief Stewart Phillip,
Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs president
Fractured Land isn't only the story of Caleb; it's also the story of our nation at a crossroads.
As Western Canada's wealth of forests and rivers are bulldozed for fracking, oil and gas pipelines, massive new dams, mines and Liquefied Natural Gas destined for Asian markets, we have a choice:
Do we continue zooming down this CARBON CORRIDOR... or do we CHANGE COURSE?
We've already captured some incredible footage - spectacular scenery, expert interviews, poignant intimate moments and more - and now we're raising funds to finish the film.
Above, clockwise: The Fractured Land crew has already interviewed Wade Davis, anthropologist, National Geographic explorer-in-residence and author of, most recently, Sacred Headwaters; Naomi Klein, Canadian social activist and acclaimed author of No Logo and Shock Doctrine; Thomas Mulcair, leader of the New Democratic Party, the Official Opposition in the Canadian Parliament; and Josh Fox, Oscar-winning director of Gasland; among many others.
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding (a.k.a. "crowdsourced fundraising") is a new tool that democratizes how media is funded, produced and distributed by allowing media makers to fund their work using an online platform, like Indiegogo.com or Kickstarter.com, while also building an audience and a movement.
In exchange, backers (a.k.a. those who donate) are rewarded with gifts and other incentives.
With two years under our belt and another year left of production, we're raising the funds to cover the costs of travel, equipment, filming and promotional materials.
Our goals with the Fractured Land crowdfunding campaign:
- To raise money to finish the film (including the purchase of an infrared camera to document invisible gases!);
- To raise awareness of a land and people under increasing threat;
- To raise the level of discourse around energy development beyond Us versus Them, Right versus Left, Jobs versus the Environment, Energy versus Our Future; and
- To raise a ruckus so loud our government and their successors are forced to work toward more sustainable energy solutions.
Ultimately, this campaign is meant to build on the existing solidarity movement and support the work native and non-native people are doing across Canada to bring justice to the land and protect people from poisoned water, soil and air.
Join the movement!
Fractured Land is MORE THAN A FILM, it's part of a broader MOVEMENT.
And its members a broad coalition of allies – broadcasters, elders, intellectual leaders, organizers, torchbearers in aboriginal and environmental communities, and everyday people just trying to do their best.
JOIN US... as we continue to build a community of likeminded allies to assist Caleb and other First Nations people in protecting their land and growing new economic opportunities for their communities.
Tempting rewards!
Our close-knit team has put together a collection of tempting rewards ("Perks") for financial backers of this project, each item helping to further the themes and storytelling from the film, while also offering solutions for healing this "fractured land."
Once you've completed your donation, we'll send you a message with some questions to help us fulfill your perk request.
>> Full details of each Perk can be found at FracturedLand.com/Rewards.
More than a donation, a call to action
Please help us share Caleb's story by sharing our campaign with your endorsement via email, Facebook, hollering from the rooftops and whispering in people's ears.
After you've perused our rewards and made your contribution:
>> Sign the petition!
Caleb is currently embroiled in a big fight up in Fort Nelson, helping the Fort Nelson First Nation to raise the profile of fracking in their territory, as big corps like Encana (in cahoots with government) push for long-term water licenses that will drain TENS OF BILLION OF LITRES OF FRESH WATER EVERY YEAR from their rivers, lakes and ground.
Some of the region's most important fish-bearing rivers are already being drained, others having dried up from climate change-induced drought conditions. The result: moose and fish populations are in decline.
Raise your voice with the thousands of others who've already signed, petitioning BC Premier Christy Clark: Don't Give Away Our Fresh Water for Fracking.

Moms of Boys...
While writing a piece on translating "Momisms" into what we really mean, I realized there are some commonalities among moms of each sex that bond us together. Of course, every child is different, but if you're the mom of a boy, I'm guessing some of these will sound (and smell) all too familiar. (Feel free to read on if you're the mom of a girl, I'm sure many or all of these points will ring true as well.)
You know you're the mom of a boy if ...
1. You find yourself holding a living creature that many people would run away from screaming.
2. You can't muster the brain power to recall what you ate for breakfast, yet you can inherently transform a Transformer (without the 30 pages of directions it came with).
3. You have an unhealthy knowledge of the point/gem system for Temple Run, Dragonvale, Bakugan, Plants vs. Zombies, Cube Runner...
4. A girl makes eyes at your son and you have this weird urge to pull her aside and call her a hussy (whether she's 6 or 16).
5. You bought a car based solely on how much equipment you could fit in the trunk.
6. At 3, your baby boy asked you to marry him and you're still kinda considering it.
MORE HUMOR ON BEING A MOM OF A BOY FROM JENNY: When Your Tween Son Pays Attention to You, Act Natural
7. You know what a Ripstik is and you're not afraid to use one.
8. You spend much of your days in a fog of fart odor and some of it is proudly yours. (What, It's a great way to impress your male offspring - I would imagine.)
9. A little penis seems to be constantly whizzing by (well, let's hope that's your son's).
10. You've actually placed yourself under a tree with the feeling that, if that kiddo loses footing - at the very least, I'll be there to break his fall.
11. You know the pain of stepping on a Lego... and may in fact have one imbedded somewhere in your body right now.
12. There's a finger in your eye, your ear, or up your nose and it's not yours.
13. You understand what I mean when I say "bleacher butt," as in, "My sits bones are actually numb, I totally have bleacher butt."
MORE HUMOR ON BEING THE MOM OF A BOY FROM JENNY: Moms of Boys Are Jealous Shrews
14. There's a rogue Bey Blade in your purse.
15. You've heard yourself say things like, "No, you can't ride the dog," and "Yes, you do have to keep your pants on in public."
16. You've had in depth conversations about who would win in multiple variations of match-ups involving Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, X-Men, Daddy...
17. You can't wait until he's old enough to watch Airplane, The Naked Gun, Caddy Shack, Vacation, Fletch, The Three Amigos, The Jerk...
18. Though you go about most days as an absolute pacifist, you've had a talk that involved you exclaiming, "Sometimes you gotta push back."
19. You've considered leashing your son at a theme park and he's 12.
20. You're on a first name basis with the orderlies at the ER who provide slings, splints, casts, and velcro boots.
21. There's a love you feel for that kid that's too great and sometimes too scary to fully explain or even comprehend.
So, here's to the women who got a gulp when their babies were born -- thinking One day they might leave you for another woman!

By Harry Haun Director Jeff Calhoun was in a similarly dreamy state of mind at the after-party held a half-block from the theatre on 41st Street at shell of the old Liberty Theatre, a former grind house functioning as a handsome, spacious party haven these days.
"This is probably the best time I've had at an opening of any of my shows," he said. "I'm very proud of this show. We are introducing 12 actors who are making their Broadway debuts in this show, and that's why the show works. It's infectious. It's the new generation claiming their stake on Broadway. And you can thank Chris Gattelli. This show, I hope, is going to change his life. His work is superlative!"
Heretofore, Calhoun choreographed as well as directed, but this time he had no problem un-hyphenating himself. "I've had four knee operations and a back surgery, and, when they asked me to do this show, I knew I needed a choreographer who can do what I can't do anymore," he explained. "I saw Chris' work in South Pacific at Lincoln Center, and I went, 'I don't know who that guy is, but I want the guy who did that choreography because it was such smart storytelling.'
"Eventually, we met in San Diego. I was doing a show at the Old Globe called Emma, and he was doing one with James Lapine at La Jolla. I invited him to see opening night of Emma because I wanted to meet him, and, in five minutes, I offered him the job. I just knew he was the one for this show."

Coming soon, Menken takes an all-the-way Leap of Faith, which will open the last day of Tony eligibility. "This season," he said, "I'm my own rival, which is kinda weird. God knows, we'll see how that one does. I'm really excited about that show, too. Leap of Faith started rehearsals the same day as Newsies."
Lyricist Feldman was pleased with the work done on the show since the Paper Mill launching. He and Menken wrote a snappy number for Capathia Jenkins' Music Hall headliner ("That's Rich"), a comic villainy number for John Dossett's Pulitzer ("The Bottom Line") and a new love duet ("Something To Believe In"). "The book has undergone revision," he said. "It's basically the same show, but I think we've improved some things. I've had the best time of my life. I have to tell you those kids are so phenomenally talented. Our choreographer helped them become a family off stage, and they brought it on stage. When they get that applause, I just lose it."

Jordan, who gets a curtain call all by himself ("I certainly didn't ask for it, but I didn't say no"), is comfortable in the head hero slot. "I love that he's layered," the actor said. "Underneath it all, he's this romantic dreamer, and then he's got all this fear on top of that, and on top of that he has the charm and the boyishness that he shows everybody. As the show progresses, you slowly sorta see that deeper side of him."
The character has been with him an awfully long time. "I was in love with the movie as a kid. I grew up with it so to be the one to lead it on the stage is pretty incredible. The young me would probably be freaking out if he heard."
He's the happy half-recipient of the love-song addition. "It's a joy to originate a great, new, quintessential Disney love song. It feels like it's our version of 'A Whole New World' or something."
The object of his vocal ardor is a feisty news-hen of the period, played by a properly feisty Kara Lindsay. She makes her way in this man's world with confidence and fits in perfectly with the boy-dominated dancing. "That's one of my favorite moments because that was a fear I had at first, tapping with all these so-you-think-you-can-dance guys. I'm not that. I used to competition-dance when I was growing up. I hadn't done it in a while, but getting back into my tapping shoes was interesting at first. It was like riding a bike. It's so fun — the camaraderie and the excitement. To get to feel what they feel in all those group numbers — that's the coolest."
The inevitable, sympathy-pulling disabled urchin of the lot — "Crutchie," of course — is played by Andrew Keenan-Bolger, and with forethought: "I have a very specific musculature with my leg. I really wanted to honor the disability and place it somewhere when Crutchie is suddenly able to dance. Everything that I do in the show, I never bear weight on my right leg. I dance a little in the show — I'm given a little bit of movement — but all of it is sorta based around what I can physically do. As far as how difficult it is, I think I get off pretty easy. The rest of the boys are some of the most athletic, insane dancers I've ever seen so being able to bow out of a few of those crazy specialty tracks is okay with me."
The standout among the dancers is a bespectacled tall-drink-of-water named Specs and played by a super-gifted Ryan Steele. "It's funny," he mused, "I have 20/20 vision, so it's sort of ironic that I need specs. There were lenses at the beginning, but during tech all the lights made a glare and they were hard to dance in."
Ashley Brown Broadway's first Mary Poppins, levitated into the celebrity trenches which were filled with the likes of Ashley Spencer, Tommy Tune, Pixar creator John Lasseter, composer Mary Rodgers, director Jack O'Brien, Bare's Michael Arden (who's on F/X now, supporting Charlie Sheen's "Anger Management"), Claybourne Elder and Melissa van der Schyff from the recently disbanded Bonnie and Clyde gang, Max Casella from the "Newsies" film, Andy Cohen, actress Orfeh, Paper Mill Playhouse's Mark Hoebee, Tony-winning director-choreographers Rob Ashford and Casey Nicholaw, Marilu Henner and her teenage sons, Joey and Nick Lieberman.

There are several minor but significant ergonomic differences between the VX8100 and the VX8000. As noted, at 3.58 by 1.92 by 1.03 inches--compared with its predecessor's 3.76 by 1.97 by 0.93 inches--the VX8100 is shorter, which makes it a bit more comfortable in jeans or khaki pockets. Yet at 4.16 ounces, the VX8100 is mysteriously 0.28 ounce heavier. On the outside, the speakers on the VX8100 have moved from the top of the clamshell to the caps on either side of the clamshell hinge. As a result, sound direction and volume don't change when the phone is open. On the left spine are a volume rocker and a voice-command control that also conveniently turns on the flash when you're in camera mode. Meanwhile, a dedicated camera key and a Mini SD slot are on the right spine. The VX8100's stumpy antenna doesn't telescope like the VX8000's, but the camera lens and flash are on the same place: at the top of the phone's hinge.
The postage stamp-size external screen supports a bright 65,000 colors and shows the date, the time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID (where available). As with the VX8000, you can use the external screen as a camera viewfinder, but this time, you can do so with or without the clamshell up--a nice touch. You can change the wallpaper and the backlighting on the external display, but the maximum is just 30 seconds. On the upside, pressing any of the external controls on the handset turns on the screen, so you don't have to open the flip to check the time. Unlike its predecessor, however, the LG VX8100 doesn't have the ability to act as a mini menu for the camera features. The aforementioned multimedia controls let you use the MP3 player with the phone closed, and they also act as a Back key when in camera mode.
Inside the mobile, the most visible difference is the quarter inch you'll lose in screen size: 2.25 inches diagonally on the VX8000 vs. 2 inches on the VX8100. But the VX8100's 262,144-color LCD displays more color saturation and deeper blacks; the red menu frame is actually red, not a deep orange, as on the VX8000. You can change the font size, the clock style, and the backlight time, but you can't alter the brightness setting. Overall, it's ideal for viewing photos and video clips and for navigating through the user-friendly menus, which are in the same style as the VX8000's.
Keypad buttons, backlit blue and flush, are somewhat crowded with small fonts, but the Clear and camera-activation keys on the VX8100 are both more conveniently and centrally located on the VX8100's superior navigation array. The five-way toggle resembles something you'd find on a Samsung phone, and you can set the down direction to act as a shortcut to user-defined functions. In a wise move, LG designed the Clear control to also turn on the speakerphone before you make a call.
As one of Verizon's EV-DO phones, the LG VX8100 is loaded with lightning-fast, wireless Web surfing, but there's much more under the hood. You get a 500-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, picture caller ID, and personalized call and message ring tones. You also can organize contacts into caller groups. Other goodies include a vibrate mode, multimedia and text messaging, a duplex speakerphone, MSN and Yahoo instant messaging, storage for up to 200 1-minute voice-memo recordings, voice commands and dialing, a USB port, a calendar with a scheduler, a notepad, an alarm clock, a tip calculator, and a world clock. An optional data-connectivity kit lets you use the phone as a laptop or PDA modem. With the additions of Bluetooth 1.1, stereo output, and a Mini SD card, the only advanced feature that the VX8100 is missing is e-mail. We are puzzled, however, as to why LG didn't opt for Bluetooth 1.2, considering the VX8100's multimedia capabilities. Also, be warned that as with the Motorola V710, you can use the Bluetooth only to connect to a headset and not to wirelessly transfer files. This is cheap move, but it's typically Verizon.

Is there any way to change the default swipe unlock screen on a galaxy S phone? I find that unlocking the screen usually requires a few attempts and is difficult for me to do with just one hand (heh, ironically the screen is too large to swipe across). I'm currently using a Captivate.
WidgetLocker (on the market) provides HTC-like, iPhone-like, Motorola-like, and Rotary style unlock screens. Really superb app. |
You don't need to install an app for this. |
Search on the market, there are unlock screens that forces you to do random math puzzle, play a ball game, and there is an app aptly named "No Lock" that simply disables the lock screen, and requiring you to press the hardware lock button to unlock. |

Edox Watches To Be Featured In Spiderman 4 Movie
I was relatively surprised to hear this news as it would seem groups with a lot more money might vie for their timepieces to be in the film. The Richemont Group is known to pay big money for product placements in movies such as Ironman 2 and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. As a small brand, it is interesting to see Edox being chosen for inclusion in the film. It does make sense though - as Edox watches are much more affordable than many other Swiss watches costing maybe a couple thousand dollars versus tens of thousands of dollars. Seen above is a newer Edox Les Beomts Ultra Slim that is said to be among the watches in the film. Look out for Edox watches in Spiderman 4 next year.

Recipe by Traveling_Is_Love
"Noodles are paired with sweet ingredients to make this truly delectable dessert!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) package fine egg noodles
4 eggs
3 cups milk
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup shredded coconut
I have not had Kugel before so I made this per the recipe but used wide noodles instead of fine and it was really good. The noodles were tender and the dish had just the right amount of sweetness.
It tasted indescribable. I am sure that it is a family fave for some, but we did not enjoy this at all. Perhaps using more sugar will help. I will try again.
8 Ratings
Outstanding. Just do add a half a teaspoon of rum extract for perfection!
This was really tasty! I followed the recipe exactly except that I used 1 cup of coconut and mixed it with the butter before sprinkling it on top. Mine took less than an hour to bake.
Tasty and super easy to make. Instead of egg noodles I had a ton of leftover spaghetti that I used. Will definitely make again.
Yum. My family enjoyed this as dessert after our Shabbos meal. It is very rich, but delightful. I did make one change as recommended by a previous reviewer and added a splash of rum extract.
Wonderful recipe. I used pasta shells instead of eggs noodles and it was very good. Loved it!!!

Zogby Poll Places Politicians at Hogwarts
Harry Potter and the Half Blood PrinceAn interactive survey of 6,819 adults across the United States have determined that President George Bush and New York Senator Hillary Clinton would both land smack in Slytherin, while the US's First Lady, Laura Bush, would find herself among the badgers of Hufflepuff. Meanwhile 57% of respondents said they'd elect Hermione Granger president.
The poll, which found that three in five adults who had read the previous HP books planned to buy the sixth, also showed there was almost no Democratic/Republican split on HP readers: roughly 65% of Democrats and independents and 66% of Republicans planned on reading the book.
Forty-one percent of poll-takers, a plurality, placed themselves in Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor (30%), which came in second. Hufflepuff garnered 23% and Slytherin came last, with only two percent.

Goodland Republic, Oct. 30, 1919
Died: Oct. 24, 1919
and Ex-County Official Succumbs to Heart Disease
Friday of Last Week.
Probate Judge Donly called our attention to the death of Col. E. W. Penny, well known to the older residents of this county, at his home in Topeka, Friday of last week. The Topeka Capital contained the following account of his death:
"Col. E. W. Penny, age 81, a member of Lincoln Post and an old resident of Kansas, died almost instantly last night. He had suffered an attack of heart disease while in a coal shed at the rear of his home, 1162 High street. He was dead when he was found five minutes later by his niece, Miss Marcella Jackson. Col. Penny had been in poor health since the Civil war as the result of wounds he received in battle, according to his niece. He had been an active member of Lincoln Post for many years and also was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge at Goodland.
After entering the Civil war as a captain of the 130th Indiana infantry Colonel Penny, through his bravery, was promoted to the rank of captain of his regiment, where he served the remainder of the war. He was wounded six times during the four years and lost an arm in the battle of Atlanta.
"At the close of the war, he was for eight months commander of an army post in Charlotte, N. C., which covered eighty square miles of territory.
"Colonel Penny came to Kansas thirty-five years ago and settled near Scandia. He then went to Goodland where he resided until twenty years ago when he moved to Topeka. Since the Civil war he has suffered considerably from a wound in his side. He is survived by a son, Edward Penny, of Denver, Colorado, and a daughter, Mrs. Rose Jones of Fort Collins, Colorado."
Goodland Weekly Republic, Friday, September 13, 1895
Presented With a Neat Gold-Headed Stick By His Regiment.
During the peragrations of Colonel E. W. Penny this summer he took in the annual reunion of the 130th Indiana volunteers of which he was colonel and in whose service he lost his sword arm. The regiment was famous for its fighting qualities and during its service lost more than half its original numbers in battle.
The 130th was with Sherman in its march to the sea and for 120 days in the Atlanta campaign was never out of musketry fire. The campaign was, in short, on continuous battle, in which his gallant regiment took no little part.
Aug. 6, 1864, was the bloodiest day of the war in the regimental history of the 130th. On that day, in less than 20 minutes, more than 200 of their number were killed and wounded. To the survivors this day is a sacred one, and has become a fixed day for the reunion of the surviving members of the regiment. This year the reunion was held at Middletown, Ind., and was one of the most enjoyable meetings the battle-scarred veterans have ever participated in.
As a token of their regard the members of the organization this year presented Colonel Penny with an elegant gold-headed, mahagony (sic) cane, bearing his name on a silver plate, and also the date of presentation and by whom.CONTRIBUTED BY LLOYD P. HOLBROOK, RESEARCHER OF G. A. R. POST , W. R. ROBERTSON POST #428

An Excerpt from Grave Goods
The "richly detailed, almost indecently thrilling" (New York Times) follow up to The Serpent's Tale
When a fire at Glastonbury Abbey reveals two skeletons, rumor has it they may belong to King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. King Henry II hopes so, for it would help him put down a rebellion in Wales, where the legend of Celtic savior Arthur is strong. To make certain, he sends Adelia Aguilar, his Mistress of the Art of Death, to Glastonbury to examine the skeletons. At the same time, the investigation into the abbey fire will be overseen by the Bishop of St. Albans, father of Adelia's daughter. Trouble is, someone at Glastonbury doesn't want either mystery solved, and is prepared to kill to prevent it... |

After a decade of unprecedented growth and development, the insistence on positive news remains a significant threat to press freedom in sub-Saharan Africa. By Mohamed Keita
After a decade of unprecedented growth and development, the insistence on positive news remains a significant threat to press freedom in sub-Saharan Africa. By Mohamed Keita
Two Rwandan journalists were released from prison in June and July 2013 after completing their jail terms, according to news reports.
Fifty-five journalists fled their homes in the past year with help from the Committee to Protect Journalists. The most common reason to go into exile was the threat of violence, such as in Somalia and Syria, two of the most deadly countries in the world for the profession. Others fled the threat of prison, especially in Iran, where the government deepened its crackdown ahead of elections. A CPJ special report by Nicole Schilit
Nairobi, March 26, 2013--An appellate court judge in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, on Monday upheld the criminal conviction of an editor who is serving a one-year prison sentence in connection with an opinion column, according to local journalists.
President Paul Kagame used his August address before the East African Community Media Summit to cast the domestic press "as an important partner in our country's development" while accusing Western journalists of misrepresentation that "derails our progress or even fuels conflict." The dual theme--calling on domestic journalists to advance a government agenda while depicting international news media as adversaries--has become common among regional leaders. But critical journalists are seen as foes, not partners, by Kagame's government. The authorities have engaged in several years of aggressive harassment of critical journalists, forcing many into exile, landing some in prison, and sowing self-censorship among the rest. CPJ identified three imprisoned journalists when it conducted its annual worldwide survey on December 1, and at least two others who were detained for significant periods during the year. Red lines appeared to be easily crossed and harshly punished: The authorities detained a radio presenter for nearly 100 days after the journalist mistakenly used a phrase deemed offensive to survivors of the 1994 genocide. Although Kagame spoke in support of media reform at the summit, three bills backed by the Rwandan press remained stalled in parliament. The bills would provide access to government information, create a media ombudsman independent of the government, and establish a public broadcaster.
Among the 232 journalists imprisoned around the world are Rwandan editors Agnès Uwimana and Saidati Mukakibibi, who are serving years-long terms on charges they defamed the president, Paul Kagame, and incited violence. Their crime? The women had published a series of stories in 2010 on several sensitive issues the Kagame government doesn't want scrutinized. The articles criticized government agricultural policy, examined the July 2010 murder of journalist Jean-Léonard Rugambage, described the falling-out between Kagame and two now-exiled military leaders, probed divisions within the army, and pushed for justice for ethnic Hutus killed in the 1994 genocide. The editors have exhausted domestic appeals, but now a team of defense lawyers is pursuing a complaint with the African Commission on Human and People's Rights on grounds that Rwanda violated its obligations to ensure freedom of expression and the right to fair trial.
Nairobi, November 15, 2012--An appellate court in Rwanda should overturn the prison sentence handed to the editor of a private weekly on Wednesday, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. CPJ also urges authorities to release Stanley Gatera, editor of the Kinyarwandan-language paper Umusingi, pending his planned appeal.
The Gasabo Intermediate Court in the capital, Kigali, sentenced Gatera, 22, to a one-year jail term and fines of 30,000 Rwandan francs (US$50) for inciting divisionism and gender discrimination in an opinion column he published in Umusingi in June, according to local journalists and news reports. The state prosecutor said in court that the article broke the country's laws about referring to ethnic identities, local journalists told CPJ. The Rwandan penal code includes crimes that carry prison terms for individuals who speak too provocatively about ethnicity, news reports said.
Nairobi, July 18, 2012--Police in Kigali are holding a newspaper reporter whose employer had earlier filed a complaint alleging that security agents had seized and interrogated him, according to news reports.
On Tuesday, police arrested Idriss Gasana Byiringiro, a political reporter for the private weekly Chronicles, on suspicion of providing false information, the paper reported. The journalist has not been allowed access to his family or a lawyer, according to news reports and local journalists. No formal charges have been publicly disclosed.
Fifty-seven journalists fled their country in the past year, with Somalia sending the greatest number into exile. Journalists also fled Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Rwanda--mostly for Kenya and Uganda. Exiles in East Africa must grapple with poverty and fear. A CPJ special report by María Salazar-Ferro and Tom Rhodes
Talking about genocide prevention in the shadow of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camps brings an intense and unique gravity to the discussions. The academic presentations cannot extract themselves from the looming presence of the barbed wires and grim towers surrounding the Nazis' most infamous death factory.

Widely regarded as the indispensable tool for every multiemployer plan trustee and administrator, the Trustee Handbook: A Guide to Labor-Management Employee Benefit Plans has been revised and updated to include essential fiduciary information without the legalese. [more]
Today, the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans provides education, information and research services for individuals and organizations that work with employee benefits, compensation and financial literacy. How It Began
The International Foundation's roots stem from collectively bargained or multiemployer plans, which were established with the passage of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947 (Taft-Hartley Act). Among its many provisions, the act made fringe benefits part of collective bargaining and allowed tax-free employer contributions to employee benefit trust funds operated by boards of trustees on which labor and management are equally represented.The trustees responsible for these funds quickly realized they faced a daunting challenge to properly manage increasingly large sums of money and effectively provide benefits for covered employees and their families.Against this background, representatives of 11 construction industry health and welfare funds from three states gathered in Akron, Ohio on April 2, 1954 for a meeting sponsored by the Tri-County Building Trades Health and Welfare Fund of that region. They met to discuss common problems and hoped to find solutions that would help them all do a better job in their new role as trustees.That small but productive meeting was the birth of the National Conference of Health and Welfare Plan Trustees and Administrators, the original name of the International Foundation. In 1963, the organization was reorganized and named the National Conference of Health, Welfare and Pension Plans. Growth Over the Decades
The 1960s were a time of rapid growth for the burgeoning organization. Regional seminars were initiated; the first Canadian conference was held in 1968 and the first public employee conference was held in 1969. A research department was also established in 1968 to conduct original studies and analysis. To reflect the increasingly diverse membership and services, the organization was renamed to the current International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans in 1973.In the 1970s, the International Foundation expanded its services to the private sector by introducing the CEBS® program and establishing a corporate committee. New corporate educational programs were introduced and a library was established at headquarters.Steady growth continued through the 1980s and 1990s with a record number of memberships and attendance at conferences. Tens of thousands of books on benefits were sold, several new periodical publications were introduced and an extensive database, called the EMPLOYEE BENEFITS INFOSOURCE™, was established. In 1993, Olivia Mitchell was named the first International Foundation professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. As the fields of benefits and compensation began to converge in the 1990s, the International Foundation responded by adding courses and informational resources in total compensation. Today
After 50 years, the International Foundation is 33,000 members strong—the largest association serving the employee benefits and compensation industry. We continue to provide unparalleled, objective, quality education to all of our constituents. Members include U.S., Canadian and other international representatives including
Our services continue to grow and evolve to meet our members' needs. For more information about the International Foundation, contact Stacy Van Alstyne at (262) 373-7746 or email@example.com.

BAY OF SKAILL, SANDWICK AUGUST 18th 2011
Another trip with the Blide Trust is diverted. Twice. We are going to go on a walk that takes in Skara Brae and Quoyloo church, so I suggest the Brodgar road - just over the Black Hill of Warbuster a minor road goes above the top of the Loch of Stenness, past Lyking broch and through Voyatown, onto the B9056 then north by the Loch of Skaill with its 19thC fishing islet before reaching the Bay of Skaill. But Patrick turns at the Harray junction instead and onto Dounby. Okay, I thought, the B9057 runs through it and west into Sandwick onto the Kierfiold road then Skaill. But onward he goes and by the Loch of Boardhouse. Ah we all think, the scenic route to come upon Skaill from the heights. Except it becomes apparent Patrick is headed for Birsay. Turns out he thought today's walk was based there. So we turn left and take the back road to the Skaill kirk i.e. the B9056 by way of Marwick instead of the A967 down to the Kierfiold road - disappointed to learn the Kierfiold House gardens are under new owners and
(Sheena thinks) no longer open for public viewing. It was a brilliantly sunny evening with a crystal clear sky letting us clearly see far hills on the horizon for miles in every direction, with neither haze nor mist casting a veil over land or sea.
We parked near the Skara Brae interpretation centre as per the itinerary but didn't visit the village, not wanting to fork out the £6 each. Instead of going all along the road we went down to the beach near the far end of the HS site's fence, passing over a band of water-worn stones onto the deep sandy beach. You can see how the sea walls built to preserve the Skara Brae site are heavily eroded, see where what was once a millstream comes down - in front of the mill is where leaves and bark from a now submerged forest came, relics of the time before Skerrabrae disappeared under the sands and the settlement still thrived. After reaching the toilet block we left the beach and crossed over road verges star studded with eyebright. An old farm track passes in front of what is now called the Castle of Snusgar (excavations shew it went out of use in mediaeval times but the castle seen from a 19thC coach going along the coastline had been a building still standing. Nothing unusual to have two castles near each other in Orkney though). At a junction we turned left and had the present Snusgar excavation on our right close by the ? Burn of Rin. As we only set off from Kirkwall at four the sight of diggers still on the site surprised me, especially as I hadn't realised it was still on (this must have been the final week or two of their season, with a Viking longhouse this year's highlight.). From this section of track we had the most perfect view of the Hole o' Row at the other end of the Bay of Skaill, the whole hole fully side on. As we continued up they started leaving the hillock for their transport at Netherstove, Between here and there another track went right at a junction, and I made the mistake of thinking it not part of the itinerary [because it is even more overgrown than where we trod]. As at this point everyone took my lead it wasn't until after we turned left and hit the main road that the time discrepancy became obvious.
Going down to the parish kirk a small building on the other side of the road from this used to be a stable, unlikely though it seems. The rest of the group went by the kirkyard but I brought them back to see an unusual ornament I had seen on my last visit there, a small carved block of stone resembling a deep heart-shaped jewellery casket about a foot long. By coincidence Heart is the name of a friend of the team leader who had only just gone back to New Zealand [or Australia perhaps]. It made me think of two detached architectural pieces not dissimilarly placed at the edge of the Stenness kirkyard, though the heart-shaped box could be sepulchral instead. From here we carefully climbed down to the beach once more.
Now we changed the route and followed another member's suggestion, a walk to the modern cairn on Ward Hill. Approaching Hellia Gibb we looked up and saw the labradoodle cross that had come with us walking the narrow piece between fence and cliff-edge up above. My memory said I had taken the same route myself once, but now I think vegetation hides the way which could have also be straiter since then. Past Hellia Gibb there is now a metal rail to help you come up from the rocky taing onto the cliffs
more safely. The clifftops are mostly shattered stone and Patrick decided to walk near the edge of the first bite in the cliffs, Yettna Geo, until someone called him back from what they saw as danger - actually the worst parts of Orkney's coastline are the unnoticed overhangs, and in East Holm the huge circular Hole of The Ness is many metres back from the cliff-edge and disguised until you are almost on top of it ! Coming near myself, I was greeted by the shadowed sides of Yettna Geo gating a clear sky
blazing in the light afternoon sun between them like the portal to a land of far away. This was high summer with twilight a long time coming. So we were grateful to finally reach the solace of the modern cairn. Even the labradoodle rested.
Far to the south I saw a distant high cliff headland with a single upright pillar just offshore. I found myself in two minds because though I knew it to be one end of Hoy the name that came to me for the rock stack was the Castle of Yesnaby. Of course as soon as I spoke my identification out loud to great laughter this was corrected to the Old Man of Hoy. Which meant it took a long time before they accepted where the Yesnaby car park lay, and it can't have helped that I referred to the Brough of Bigging with its promontory fort as the Noust of Bigging (the boat naust back of its neck). Between us and the Broch of Borwick lies the long thin chasm of Ramna Geo and the Ness of Ramnageo. Between Ramna Geo and the Broch of Borwick ( a few hundred metres to the north of the latter) an Irish visitor to Orkney told me he saw what appeared to be a monastic beehive cell like those of early mediaeval Ireland. The same (or something surely related) in a 1964 newspaper account is reported as bowl-shaped with an opening at the stone-built side. It would be nice if this had been what I at first mistook fror the broch. At high mag it looks like an upturned terraced quarry or a multi-tiered cake stand. Matching the exposed rock about it I am reminded on the polystyrene landscapes we made in geography, the piled tiles cut to the map contours before we smoothed them out. But this feature by the cliff-edge is hard by the southern side of Ramna Geo, so unless the proximity is a trick of perspective this cannot be that cell. Shoot !
Eventually came the time to head off back, for despite the light by the clock eventide had indeed turned. I had been hoping to go via Skaill Home Farm (The Mount in 1882) to look at the several old foundations along the way, but the kie were everywhere. Skaill House shone ghostly below, a place much haunted by the denizens of an olden graveyard now buried beneath the house. I forgot to mention that between taing and our climb up on land again we did walk alongside the fence before the way narrowed too far. Between us and the shore we pass by the remains of some old structure, still feeling like a building but to official reports only a wall of several courses and a midden. When I finally get off the shore I'm so hot my hair is sweating and I have to go topless in order to cool down (over the next week several folk at the trust feel hotter than the rest at different times, so something going around is my guess). I am told that it is wrong to say that my hair is sweating because hair is dead. Technically true. But the sebaceous glands at the roots of your hair are alive and my hair becomes saturated by sweat. So all I am guilty of is not using the phrase "my hair is sweaty", which is nit-picking rather. Rant over ! Of course now that seatbelts are compulsory you don't have the option of leaning forward to stay cool so I perforce have to put my T-shirt back on. Much too late for a joint meal so we head back to Kirkwall. We arrive after eight, having been gone four hours.

The Snusgar excavation ended on the 26th of August 2010,however the folk you saw this year were DG,K. MA & JH focussing on the easterly aspect of the 2010 site. JH did tells she was up but only for a week. There was a trial trench next to the main one in 2011 that initiated this interest.

A second former Aberdeen resident was found guilty by a Utah jury of abuse in the March 2011 death of Christina Harms, who also used to live in Aberdeen.
Sherrie Beckering, 51, was found guilty in September of aggravated abuse of a vulnerable adult. She faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, though her attorney has filed paperwork asking that the jury's verdict be overturned because of insufficient evidence.
In November 2011, Dale Beckering, formerly of Aberdeen, was found guilty by a jury of a lesser abuse charge. He's serving a prison term of one to 15 years. He was 53 at the time of his trial.
Cassandra Shepard, 28, and formerly of Aberdeen, faces a charge of murder. Her trial is scheduled to begin next year. She was Harms' legal guardian.
When Harms was found dead on the floor of the family's home in Kearns, Utah, she had bruises on her body, bandages wrapped tight on her arms and fingers, and a pepper seed stuck under one eyelid. An autopsy found she was severely dehydrated and had potentially fatal levels of Benadryl or a similar drug in her system.
Harms, who had fetal alcohol syndrome, graduated from Central High School in 2007.

Menehune Contest a big success
On Saturday, April 16, the La Jolla Shores Surfing Association hosted their 11th Annual Menehune Surf Contest at La Jolla Shores for youth, ages 18 and under.
The sun and surf conspired to produce a perfect contest day of abundant sun and surf at La Jolla Shores. More than 125 contestants surfed in the one-day event featuring longboard, shortboard, and novice divisions.
While the kids wowed spectators with their skillful surfing maneuvers, the beach came alive with banners, tents, and good vibes as dozens of surf club volunteers signed in competitors, passed out goodie bags, judged heats, tallied scores, and hosted a BBQ, raffle, and silent auction for the participating families.
