The Fall of the Athenian Republic
Law professor demonstrates that the results of the 2000 presidential election correspond to an 18th century historian's prediction of conditions accompanying the downfall of democracy.
[Collected via e-mail, December 2000]
At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about "The Fall of The Athenian Republic" some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about
200 years.
During those
200 years,
these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From Bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the most recent Presidential election:
Population of counties won by:
Gore = 127 million
Bush = 143 million
Square miles of land won by:
Gore = 580,000
Bush = 2,2427,000
States won by:
Gore = 19
Bush = 29
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore = 13.2
Bush = 2.1
Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government
welfare ..."
Olson believes the U.S. is now somewhere between the "apathy" and "complacency" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy with some
40 percent
of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
The item cited above began circulating on the Internet since shortly after the 2000
U.S. presidential
election, reappeared briefly after the 2004 presidential election, and saw a strong resurgence (in a modified form which replaced the names "Bush" and "Gore" with "McCain and "Obama") after the 2008 presidential election. What follows is our analysis of the statements included in the original piece as it initially appeared in 2000, including information helpfully provided to us by Mike Powell of Kennewick, Washington.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University was
the source of any of the statistics or the text attributed to him above. When contacted via
, Professor Olson confirmed that he had no authorship or involvement in this matter, and as Fayette
editor Dave Hamrick wrote in
January 2001:
I really enjoyed one recent message that was circulated extremely widely, at least among conservatives. It gave several interesting "facts" supposedly compiled by statisticians and political scientists about the counties across the nation that voted for George Bush and the ones that voted for Al Gore in the recent election.
Supposedly, the people in the counties for Bush had more education, more income, ad infinitum, than the counties for Gore.
I didn't have time to check them all out, but I was curious about one item in particular... the contention that the murder rate in the Gore counties was about a billion times higher than in the Bush counties.
This was attributed to a Professor Joseph Olson at the Hamline University School of Law. I never heard of such a university, but went online and found it. And
Olson does exist.
"Now I'm getting somewhere," I thought.
But in response to my e-mail, Olson said the "research" was attributed to him erroneously. He said it came from a Sheriff Jay Printz in Montana. I
Sheriff Printz, and guess what? He didn't do the research either, and didn't remember who had
it to him.
In other words, he got the same legend e-mailed to him and passed it on to Olson without checking it out, and when Olson passed it on, someone thought it sounded better if a law professor had done the research, and so it grew.
Who knows where it originally came from, but it's just not true.
The "Alexander Tyler" quoted at the head of the article is actually Lord Woodhouselee, Alexander Fraser
, a Scottish historian/professor who wrote several books in the late 1700s and early 1800s. However, there is no record of a Tytler's having authored a work entitled
The Fall of the Athenian Republic
The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic
), and the quoted material attributed to him above is likely
The population of the counties and square miles of area won by each Bush and Gore appear to be accurate. They are consistent with the election-result
published by
USA Today
20 November
The number of states won by each candidate is inaccurate. The numbers given (29 and 19) imply that the piece was written before the results of the Florida and New Mexico vote counts were determined. The final tallies were
30 states
for Bush and
20 for
The county-by-county murder-rate comparison presented in this piece appears to be flawed. According to the
U.S. Department
of Justice (
), in the year 2000 the national murder rate was about 5.5 per 100,000
residents. Homicide data by county for 1999 and 2000 was downloaded from the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (
), and the counties won by Gore and Bush were identified using the county-by-county election results made available by
. (The NACJD provided not only the number of reported murders for each county, but also the population for each.) The average murder rate in the counties won by Gore versus the rate in the counties won by Bush was determined from this data.
By calculating the murder rate for each county and then taking the averages, we found a murder rate (defined as number of murders per 100,000 residents) of about 5.2 for the average Gore county and 3.3 for the average Bush county. But since people, rather than counties, commit murders, a more appropriate approach was to calculate the total number of murders in the counties won by each candidate and divide that figure by the total number of residents in those counties. This more appropriate method yielded the following average murder rates in counties won by each candidate:
Gore: 6.5
Bush: 4.1
There is a distinct difference between these two numbers, but it is nowhere near as large as the quoted
message states (i.e., 13.2 for Gore vs. 2.1 for Bush).
The tagline to the piece maintains that "The map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare." However, according to an
of federal spending and electoral votes in the 2000 election prepared by Dean Lacy of Ohio State University:
In the 2000 U.S. presidential election, George W. Bush won most of the states that are net beneficiaries of federal spending programs, while Al Gore won most of the states that are net contributors to federal spending.
The information in that study corresponds to a
prepared by the Tax Foundation for fiscal year 2005 that ranks states according to federal spending per dollar of taxes paid.

The stakes in the labor dispute between Canada's foreign service and the Conservative government just got a whole lot higher.
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Workers — the union representing 1,500 active and retired foreign-service employees — instructed nearly 50 members working in Ottawa, Africa and Mexico City to walk off the job on Monday. The union voted to authorize a strike back in April, but has so far refrained from walking off the job until this week.
"These are the most severe job actions that we can undertake," said Tim Edwards, the union president. "This is an escalation meant to bring additional pressure on our employer to return to the table to address our long-standing wage gap."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Authorities are working together to determine what avenues to take in response to an 8-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed his 4-year-old sister with a knife in their home on Charleston's West Side.
Because the case involves a juvenile, authorities can release very little information, said Kanawha County Prosecutor Mark Plants.
However, he did confirm information already reported in media outlets that an 8-year-old allegedly stabbed his sister.
According to earlier media reports, the boy was stabbing his sister's doll with a knife when the little girl tried to retrieve the doll and was stabbed in the neck by her brother.
The incident occurred 3 p.m. Sunday in the 400 block of Hunt Avenue on Charleston's West Side, according to earlier news accounts. However, Plants said he could not confirm or deny the location.
No immediate evidence was found to show wrongdoing on the part of the parents, he said.
"The preliminary investigation shows no signs of neglect," he said. "The investigation is ongoing. There is no evidence that it could be avoided."
Charleston Lt. Steve Cooper, chief of detectives, later said a juvenile petition had been filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court against the boy.
Lt. Mark Abbott said Sunday evening that the boy and his father were brought to the police department immediately following the incident. They left together after speaking with officers.
Abbott said that the girl suffered a small puncture wound. She was taken to an area hospital for treatment and was to be released Monday or Tuesday, Plants said.
"The victim is recovering," he said. "She did sustain injuries."

Agile Contracting
Many software development organizations work within the bounds of contractual agreements where the limitations imposed by the "Iron Triangle" of fixed timelines, budgets, and scope challenge their ability to embrace change and focus on value delivery. Agile practitioners often comment that agile contracting is a difficult problem, but proven solutions are rarely presented. In an old ADP session, Rachel and I offered some tools that we have used in our own agile contracting work to help agile practitioners deal with different contracting scenarios while promoting agile practices, protecting the development organization, and still providing value and protection to the client's organization. We conducted a combined workshop and facilitated collaborative session, and presented new agile contracting tools that can be added to your toolbox. Hopefully, we offered practical solutions for dealing with contracts in an agile manner. Here's the deck and the handout:

Florida's Best Beaches
Getaway to the Beach
Spend a weekend in the surf and sand on one of the South's most beautiful islands.
Sunday--Still Plenty To Do
For your final day, scrounge time for more shopping in downtown Fernandina Beach. Don't miss Fernandina's Fantastic Fudge shop, and make sure you peruse the shelves at nearby Book Loft. Perhaps the best store we found, ZZ Toys (pictured) amazes with a spectacular collection of kites, tin toys, cool games, and beach accessories. If you missed breakfast, catch brunch at one of Fernandina's newer restaurants, Café Karibo. Then spend the rest of your afternoon at Fort Clinch State Park, where you can collect shells, hike, watch for wildlife, and swim.
Wind down with supper at Joe's 2nd Street Bistro. Joe's has a relaxed island feel, and the entrées start at $17. Dining may prove wiser than taking one last stroll on the beach. If you gaze at Amelia Island's perfect shores one more time, you may never want to go home.
For more information: Contact Amelia Island Tourist Development Council, 102 Centre Street, Fernandina Beach, FL 32035; (904) 261-3248, 1-800-226-3542, or www.ameliaisland.org.

A word from Marvin
Located in the Shaw area of D.C., Marvin serves American comfort food and a few soup-inspired dishes (shrimp and grits), and is named in homage to Marvin Gaye - a huge mural of Marvin is painted on a main dining room wall. The restaurant decor gives some of the feel of a traditional local place,
with a cool vibe as you enter the upstairs lounge.

This place is definitly a great
spot for any occassion. Just overall Fantastic!"

While I liked the fushion of
Belgian and Soul food (my two favorites!), I think the food could use a lot more attention for the price. While the Chicken and Waffle I had was really good and unique, my friend's short ribs were totally dry and uninteresting (and $$ to boot). The Mussles I tried were tasty but nothing that wow'd me (unlike Granville Moores). My friends enjoyed the shrimp & grits & the Brussels sprouts. I brought a group of 9 for my bday on a Friday night. We were seated immediately & server was attentive. I liked the ambiance but it was still a bit too dark & too loud. I was stuffed from the chicken and waffles and heavy Belgian beer to eat dessert, but I left quite happy."

Marvin is a fun bar, but the food
is mediocre. Given the plethora of delicious brunch options that have sprung up in DC recenetly, I was expecting a lot more from Marvin. The eggs were dry, the waffles were soggy, and the mimosas were watered down. I would not recommend Marvin for brunch,"
Dined on 3/9/2014
The food was great, the server and
bartender were fantastic and knowledgeable, but the noise was almost unbearable. Our party of 5 had to shout from one end of the table to the other to be heard. Two of our party finally gave up and simply ate in silence as the cacophony around us grew. Even my college cafeteria wasn't this loud. How about a big sign at the entrance, asking "inside voice, please.""
Dined on 3/8/2014
I love the duck breast and shrimp
and grits! They are absolutely delicious!!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
Great shrimp-n-grits, pleasant
waiter (who was also good looking), and nice atmosphere. Bloody Mary's were a little small, but minor detail. Nice brunch."
Dined on 3/2/2014
Overall this is a great restaurant
and the food was really good. Our waiter was also very attentive but that said one huge disappointment is that even though I made reservations in advance, we had to wait one hour before we were seated. Highly annoying especially as I was bringing friends who are new to DC. After 30 minutes of sulking I guess the floor manager spotted us and bought us a round of drinks. Probably should have done that right off the bat but all in all appreciated the gesture. My experience has made me leery of booking there again during busy hours."
Dined on 3/1/2014
My only complaint is that the
music volume level was too loud for brunch. It made hearing our conversation challenging."
Dined on 2/23/2014
We introduced a friend to one of
our favorite places- Marvin and at the end of our evening she said it best, "we need to come back, this place is great". This continues to be one of our absolute favorite places, great cocktails, we love both the funky parisian like bar upstairs, as well as the wonderful outdoor deck bar, and then we move to the restaurant for a terrific dinner- the food, service, and wine are always perfect. This place is funky, hip, but also warm and inviting. We've been going here for years and have never had a complaint. DC is fortunate to have a packed and ever expanding food scene, but while we have a long list of must try, Marvin remains our go-to place."
Dined on 2/21/2014
This being my third time, I always
feel the overall experience is better than the food--which itself is not bad, just not noteworthy."
Dined on 2/19/2014
I hope you will pass along my
comments to the restaurant managers because I expected much more from my experience. Service was excruciatingly slow and uninspiring; no enthusiasm or pleasant demeanor. There were long periods of time when he didn't even show up at the table. The food was average to good. Several items were packed full of salt. Since they were completely different dishes my take was the salt was dumped on everything at the end to try to make them work? Very odd and unfortunate, given the restaurant is surrounded by quality restaurants. Hope it can get it together because the name was what attracted me in the first place."
Dined on 2/17/2014
I heard the food here is really
good, but I wasn't super impressed. The food was just okay. The prices are a little high for what you get. Also, it was difficult getting our server's attention. We had to wait and get his attention every time we needed something. If I were to return, it would only be to have a drink on their rooftop bar. I would not revisit the restaurant."

Have been to Marvin several times.
Love the Belgian inspired menus."

We enjoyed the food and the
service was great. We will be back for the burger. It seems to be a must have"

The food was amazing!!! My drink
wasn't the best but I'm not a drinker and may have just ordered the wrong drink."
Dined on 2/9/2014
This visit was my third or fourth
to Marvin, and I brought friends from out of town. I had the salmon which was good, but my favorite is the chicken and waffles. They combine the standard chicken & waffle with collards, and the combination with syrup is delicious! The draft beers are fairly limited in the dining room, but luckily one is Leffe Brune (dark) which is a favorite of mine. The coffee creme brulee was very tasty! The dining room at Marvin has a really nice feel - a very diverse group os people and laid back - it's cozy although fairly big. Theser guys also have an awesome rooftop with a few different seating areas and two bars - can't wait for Spring! I'll definitely return."
Dined on 2/10/2014
Excellent brunch, friendly staff,
yummy food....but lousy coffee. If they do not offer espresso drinks, please make the "regular" coffee tastier. It was really bad stuff. Overall, I would gladly return to Marvins....and choose tea!"
Dined on 2/9/2014
My dish - Norwegian Benedict --
was delicious and our waitress did a good job. The only problem was that we were seated at a table along a very high traffic walkway area -- probably due to the restaurant trying to fit in as many two tops as possible. Still, this meant people were bustling by the table constantly, which was a little uncomfortable. That was not helped by the fact that the person who refilled the water glasses was a bit overzealous, refilling my glass practically every two sips. And my pet peeve is when plates are cleared before everyone is finished, but this happens everywhere these days. All in all, it was good and I would return, though I will be sure to request to be seated away from the walkway."
Dined on 2/9/2014
My experience at Marvins was
awful. There was four of us and we ate and we finished up about 1.5 hours after we got there. We were still drinking coffee and enjoying the Mimosas and at that time Rachel the hostess asked us if we could pay our check because they needed our table to make a table for 6. They didnt say anything to the people next to us who didnt even order food. They didn't ask them to leave. I have never been asked to leave before so we asked for the manager Andrew. Andrew would only come over until we had paid and we expressed how we were treated and he didnt have much to say but that he would talk to Rachel. Awful experience, the food was ok and now I know why people dont go there anymore."

With all the new 14th street
restaurants and bars, Marvin seems to fall under the radar. But the food, especially the fried chicken, remains as tasty as ever, and the place is neither fussy nor pretentious. I'll keep going back."

Marvin has a cool vibe, the drinks
are good, our food was ok, the service was great, but it was VERY loud."
Dined on 1/18/2014
it's a common complaint, but
Marvin had a great atmosphere, good but unexceptional food, and a very large bill at the end. not sorry we tried it, but i wouldn't go back for dinner."
Dined on 1/16/2014
We had the happy hour menu--which
necessitated sitting at the bar--and chose two different types of mussels (the red curry and the potatoes & bacon (mayonnaise with curry, mayonnaise with horseradish, and catsup). The beer tap was out of service the night we were there, which was a bit of a disappointment. Still, as a pre-theater dinner, the happy hour menu was perfect. At normal prices the mussels would have been worth it. Half price, they were the deal of the decade! We later learned that there is also a three-course Prix Fixe dinner offered by the Marvin for theater goers that is more expensive than the happy hour menu, but is similarly an excellent deal and no doubt could have been enjoyed at one of the restaurant's tables."
Dined on 1/14/2014
Have been here before and it's
usually spot on - Biscuits and Gravy were just awful. Great server though! Very nice and attentive."

Met some friends before 930 Club
and a few more decided to show up, they were very accommodating. Great ambiance, service, food and drinks."
Dined on 1/3/2014
We returned to Marvin after a
couple of good dining experiences. The greatest drawback those times was the noise level, but the food was good. This time, we received two entrees of sea bass that were inedible. Even after extra cooking, it was burned on the outside and gelatinous within, the taste and texture of decomposed fish. The waitress seemed to think I could not appreciate gooey rather than flaky sea bass but kindly offered another menu item."
Dined on 12/29/2013
I walked right by this place and
decided to go back & give it a chance. The food was exceptional. I had one of the best tuna steak's I've ever hat. I was happy with everything that I ordered and would definitely go back. The only down side that I noticed was there was a large & loud group in the room that was celebrating a birthday. They made you turn a nice conversation into yelling across the table so that you could be heard."
Dined on 12/17/2013
I had my birthday dinner here then
went upstairs afterwards for dancing. The staff was more than accommodating and the food was excellent."
Dined on 12/16/2013
I booked this because I needed a
last minute reservation for 6 people for brunch. The food was really unimpressive, and the service was below par. I had a smoked salmon eggs benedict that had barely any smoked salmon, a surprisingly small side serving of dry home fries, and one of my eggs was overcooked. Two of my friends got unlimited mimosas, and by the last drink they were pretty sure they were drinking plain orange juice (we compared the taste, and two glasses side by side and there was a noticeable difference). Service was also very slow - for the food to come out, and for her to refill drinks. I would not go here again for brunch."

I went with a bunch of friends for
my birthday. I have been to the rooftop for HH before but never inside for dinner. It was a great spot, good mussels."
Dined on 12/7/2013
I had dinner there last Sat. night
and it was great. The drinks we had were innovative and tasty. I had the chicken and waffles and my friend had the steak frites both dishes were terrific. We made reservations but our table wasn't ready and the staff were very kind and apologetic about the wait. I'd go back and take more friends there."

Very nice ambience, excellent
food, intresting music, nice people, very good service, very kind stuff."
Dined on 12/7/2013
almost...nice decor, food pretty
but at 6:30 it was still a bit empty (but noisy). I had a yummy parsnip soup and a salad; my partner had mussels. Good not more. I was glad I went; I hope they do well. I love the variety we have in our dining scene. I might go back but there was nothing REALLY remarkable. BUt try for yourself"
Dined on 12/3/2013
Have eaten here several times
before; never again! Food was mostly terrible. Mussels Dijonnaisse lacked any sauce at first; when sent back for sauce, it was so overloaded with horseradish was too spicy to eat. Tenderloin special was tiny, over over priced for portion size. Salmon was dry and tasteless. Asked to speak to manger who never came to table. Clearly their previous success has gone to Marvin's head. They need a new Chef. Too many great restaurants opening in neighborhood to put up with the very poor food Marvin is attempting to foist on diners."

there were many things I liked
about Marvin - but most of all the French onion soup!"
Dined on 11/29/2013
We made a res for Marvin at
10:30am on a cold Sunday & were the first to be seated. It was empty when we arrived but slowly filled up; by the time we left, there was a line of folks waiting for tables. I had the waffle breakfast sandwich, which was simultaneously soft & crunchy, perfect dipped in syrup; my boyfriend had the biscuits & gravy, which were not quite the down-home cozy meal he hoped for. Still, everything was delicious, plus BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS. As it got busier, our mimosas came more slowly because there was only one server on duty. Still, he was friendly & working hard, so we tried not to be bothered. In the end, it was $30 each including tip, which isn't bad at all for a tasty breakfast & four mimosas apiece. We'll be back!"

Both the Host and Waitress were
rude and inappropriate. After showing my party to a table, the host over heard us talking about a possible addition to our group. He then insisted -- in the most unpleasant tone -- that we wait at the bar until we "figure it out". Though we declined his request, he then demanded we release the table, collected our menus and slammed them down at the host station.

No matter where you live, it's important to stay up on the current issues that affect you and the state government. That's the message from Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli who's holding a series of public forums, beginning tonight in the 129th district.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Whether it's the governor's budget proposal, education, or health care, Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli is giving his constituents a chance to talk about the issues that matter to them.
Magnarelli, who represents about 70 percent of Syracuse along with the Towns of Geddes and Van Buren, will host a series of information sessions beginning tonight. The assemblyman will give a brief presentation and then address any issues of concern that people living in his district may have. He says for the latter part of his 14-years in office he's found these forums to be especially helpful right after the governor's budget proposal.
Magnarelli said, "The people that I represent can chime in so to speak on what they think is important in the budget. What they like, what they don't like. It also gives people the opportunity to ask any question that they might have."
Two of the forums will take place in Solvay and Baldwinsville while two others are scheduled to take place in Syracuse. The first will take place tonight at Geddes Town Hall on Woods Road in Solvay beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday, January 31 - Geddes Town Hall - 1000 Woods Road, Solvay 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Wednesday, February 6 - Huntington School - 400 Sunnycrest Rd., Syracuse 6:30 - 8 p.m.

Mali crisis risks dragging on, civilians bear brunt-ICRC
- Tweet
- Share this
GENEVA Feb 22 (Reuters) - The conflict in northern Mali risks dragging on for months, cutting off civilians from aid and basic services in a Somalia-like situation, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned on Friday.
The independent agency said that it had become harder to contact armed Islamist groups and determine who was in control of territory to get security guarantees for its aid convoys.
But in anticipation of further clashes and suicide bombings, it was stocking medical supplies at a hospital in the northern town of Gao, where it said six wounded Malian soldiers were treated on Thursday, while other wounded were evacuated to the capital Bamako.
"Contrary to what some people may have thought after the French and Malian armies retook major cities, the situation is not stable nor is it suitable for civilians to return," Jean-Nicolas Marti, head of ICRC regional delegation for Mali and Niger, told reporters in Geneva.
French troops dispatched to root out rebels with links to al Qaeda swiftly retook northern towns last month. But they now risk being bogged down in a guerrilla conflict as they try to help Mali's weak army counter bombings and raids.
Malian troops backed by French soldiers and attack helicopters killed 15 Islamists in Gao on Thursday in fighting to retake a mayor's office occupied by the militants, France's Defence Ministry said on Friday.
Four Malian and two French soldiers were wounded in the fighting that erupted after Islamists were reported to have infiltrated the town, the ministry said.
"In the medium term, the next few months or year or two, what worries me is that the kind of asymmetric conflict we now see sets in with a precarious security situation and populations that don't have access to basic services," Marti said.
"We see what that has meant in regions like Somalia and parts of Yemen and Afghanistan. It is a situation that if it lasts can clearly create a certain number of humanitarian problems," he added.
Tens of thousands of civilians have fled their homes since the deployment of French troops and aerial bombing, joining tens of thousands uprooted prior to the intervention, Marti said.
"We are prepositioning emergency medical assistance because we fear that there will be more suicide attacks and fighting and the need for treating wounded will increase in coming weeks."
"People fear the security situation with attacks and suicide bombings and the presence of pockets of armed groups. Some people, depending on their ethnicity, fear possible reprisals by Malian security forces," he said.
ICRC aid workers have visited detainees in Mopti and Gao in the north as well as the capital Bamako in the south, but their findings on their treatment and conditions remain confidential.
"I won't hide that it is a situation that worries us because there is a lot of hate that has accumulated and added to the tensions over the years. In this kind of situation, we can have fears about the health of people who have been arrested and are particularly vulnerable," Marti said.
The ICRC is in close touch with French forces in Mali and commanders in Paris to give notice of ICRC operations and remind them of their obligations under international law, he said.
ICRC aid workers are deployed in Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu. But all are Africans, not Westerners, due to kidnapping, "a lucrative activity" in the country, Marti said.
Human rights violations and sexual violence have been reported in northern Mali but access remains limited due to fighting and landmines, the United Nations said on Friday.
Armed groups have recruited children, who have been killed or injured, UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado told a briefing.

Thursday Morning Cupcheck - Ranking the Top Five Dallas Stars Rivalries
If you're thinking the Kings or Coyotes merit inclusion in this list, you are sadly mistaken.
Good morning, hockey fans! Last week we got Stars fans into the mood for a little hominahomina. This week, after watching every highly entertaining second of NBC's "Wednesday Night Rivalry," it got us to thinking: If Buzz Lightyear thinks he's a "real" space ranger, then why does he freeze up around that kid? Also, who are the Dallas Stars' most hated rivals?
It's not an easy question anymore, thanks to four years of missing the playoffs. Postseason villains are absolutely mandatory when you're talking about building a rivalry: as much as the Islanders and Blue Jackets may loathe each other, no one is going to take that poo seriously until they meet in the Cup Finals, which should happen sometime after the Kansas City Royals win their third Superbowl. But Dallas used to own the playoffs like a boss, which only makes this list even sadder. Here are the Stars' Top Five Rivals, whether they're aware of it or not.
#5: Chicago Blackhawks - It may seem odd to want to stab a guy in a Jeremy Roenick jersey now, but there was a time when Stars and Hawks fans and players had to be separated by 40-foot high barbed wire-topped electrified fences just to keep the bloodslicks to a minimum. This was, of course, back when both were in the Norris Division, and when both were not very good at winning Cups but exceptionally gifted at punching and being punched. Meeting up six times in ten years in the playoffs will do that. While neither team seems all that much interested in full-scale riots in pre-game warm-ups these days, there's still the off chance that one of the Blackhawks' superskilled softies like Kane or Hossa will just haul off and deliver a cheap shot to the back of Stephane Robidas' neck. I mean, if they weren't such pants-wetting cowards.
#4: Anaheim Ducks - They say familiarity breeds contempt, and since both of these teams have been slightly better than mediocre in the same division for a decade now, it stands to reason that there's plenty of recent enmity. Heck, Steve Ott was once jumped by three Ducks after the final whistle in one game, and not only did the refs look on with admiration and a proud tear in their eye, but the league decided to suspend Ott as a result. That's the kind of ridiculous boolshizz rivalries are made of! Unfortunately, not one of Ott's teammates came to his defense (let that be a warning to you about James Neal, Penguins fans), so... it just sort of fizzled into nothingness. Also, it was a meaningless regular season game. These teams have met just twice in the postseason --in 2003, when the top-ranked Stars were upset by Giguere and his stay-puft marshmellow pads, and in 2008, when they got some measure of revenge by ousting the Cup Champions in the first round. Both times were plenty contentious, and with cheapshot diving punkbiznatches like Corey Perry driving play, another first-round matchup could be quite entertaining. Well, as entertaining as a four-game sweep could get, anyhow.
#3: Boston Bruins - While the Stars clearly got the better of the Bruins in their last meeting, the two meetings prior to that were quite possibly two of the worst games in Stars franchise history. In fall of 2008, the team put on one of its most embarassing public displays ever, a loss so devastating that it led to the ouster of Ambassador of Fun Brett Hull from his comfy GM position. The next time these teams met in Boston, it was an unexpected 80s-style opening faceoff bloodbath. For reasons only known to the lockerooms of both teams, they opted to start a ho-hum regular season game with three fights in the first four seconds, an NHL record until the Stars and Canucks beat it by a second last week. While Steve Ott "won" his fight with league darling Gregory Campbell, Brian Sutherby and Krys Barch both clearly got their a**es kicked, and Adam Burish lost his fight four minutes later so badly that he was out of commission pretty much for the rest of the season. If the Stars were trying to "send a message" that they weren't going to be pushed around, it totally worked: Boston was up 2-0 before the game was 90 seconds old and 4-0 at the end of the first period. We outsiders have no idea what transpired between these two groups of alleged professionals before the game, but obviously, when these two teams meet in the 2013 Cup Finals, expect the ice to be painted red with blood. Or sparkly pink with glittery swirls, if you're talking about the Bruins' blood.
#2: Colorado Avalanche - Nothing amps up a rivalry than battling when the stakes are highest, and these two playoff behemoths clashed tooth-and-nail two straight years in the Western Conference Finals in 1999 and 2000. Forsberg/Sakic/Foote/Borque/Blake/Hejduk/Dreary/Ozolinzh versus Modano/Nieuwendyk/Hatcher/Zubov/Matvichuk/Lehtinen. Matvichuk's series-ending hit on Forsberg in 1999. Ray Borque trying to win his first Cup, and failing utterly, in 2000. Both series going to seven games, with the Stars going down 3-2 in both only to win both sets of Game 6 and Game 7 in highly-entertaining fashion. While dates with the Sabres and Devils were waiting for the Stars in the Cup finals, these conference final battles just seemed more important. Two of the league's biggest heavyweights slugging it out in a phonebooth (or a tipped-over port-o-potty if we're talking about the Pepsi Center). Unfortunately, time has not been kind to either team since. While they did meet up in the first round in the 2004 and 2006 playoffs, Dave Tippet postseason hockey proved to be no match for five guys skating down the ice actually trying to score, and both series ended in five-game whimpers. Still, with the amount of talented young players on each of these teams, it should only be a matter of time before the next decade-long round of postseason free-for-alls.
#1: San Jose Sharks - Naturally, our biggest rival should be a divisional foe, and one we've gone to war against in the postseason more than once or twice. Fortunately, while the Sharks have never really even remotely come close to beating the Stars in their three postseason matchups, all three were remarkable in their own special way. In 1998, the Stars defeated the upstart Sharks in six games, but not before cheapshot fetishist Bryan Marchment drove Joe Nieuwendyk's knee/the Stars' Cup hopes into the boards. Two years later, the Stars decimated Owen Nolan and the Sharks in five, but who can forget 18,000 Sharks fans pelting the ice with garbage as their team was winning, with Eddie Belfour hiding in his own net from the projectiled detritus until they stopped? The two teams met one last time, in 2008, when the highly-favored Sharks went down 3-0 in the series before nearly coming back. The four-overtime Game Six was truly a Gilgamesh-like playoff epic in which both teams got what they wanted: for the Sharks, they got one highlight-reel save from Nabokov to postpone the inevitable, while for the Stars, they got a series victory and a chance to embarass the Sharks in the playoffs once again. A win-win for everybody involved.
That's it for this week's blood-raising Cupcheck. Tune in next week when we try to stop laughing when Oilers fans desperately claim that their team had some sort of "rivalry" with the Stars after meeting up seven straight years in the postseason. Our disparaging snorts may surprise you.

From the Design Desk: Compostmodern Design Conference (Day 1)
1.31.11 | Allison Weiner | Art and Design, Design Desk
When life gives you hands, make handmade.*
Last weekend, four Chronicle designers went to Compostmodern, a conference about sustainability and design.
On Day 1, people spoke on a range of topics, from modern storytelling to the business of sharing. One of my favorites was Kate Daughdrill.
She organizes Detroit SOUP, a monthly dinner that started with a small group of friends and now has a large following. During the meal (soup, salad, pie) people present ideas for local creative projects. At the end of the night everyone votes on the projects and the winner takes home the money from the meal. It's microfinancing with a human element, and great a way to fund the local arts scene.

Another favorite was Dan Phillips, the founder of a building initiative in Texas called Phoenix Commotion.
They build houses for low-income families using recycled and salvaged materials. The houses are works of art, each one guided by the unique materials at hand. Phillips talked about how the desire for uniformity creates an amazing amount of waste at construction sites. By working with unstandard forms and organic patterns, Phillips takes other people's garbage and makes artful homes.

All in all, it was an inspiring day, and one that sparked a lot of ideas for Day 2, the Unconference. To be continued next week…

I do not have any pics I did that several years ago but I would take some if I ever take it out. Its pretty much a matter of cutting everything out of the dash ie all the support brackets that are behind the dash plate. As far as the controls it is kinda a pain in the ass to get the cable that goes out to the hot cold valve to cooperate but with lots of patience it works. As far as the size of the deck your probally looking at 7" of space behind the dash.
Im looking to do the double din and as u said cutting support plates away u got any pics of the install? I want to do it. and any double din sz wiil fit? also how is that custom plate work with the ac controls being moved.
It aint cheap and it aint easy you will spend a few hours cutting away support plates in your dash so I guess what I am saying is once you go double there is no going back but anyway the kit came from here Gaugeplates.com, your home for custom gauge and switch plates let me know if you have or need any help with it
i was wondering were u got that dash plate for the double din in dash.im very interested in doing the same i want a indash really bad in my coupe. let me know.

About the thioredoxin system
The thioredoxin system and glutathione/glutaredoxin system help maintain the reduced environment of the cell and play a significant role in defending the cell against oxidative stress. They also have been proposed to play a role in purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis as required for DNA synthesis, protein folding and regulation, and sulfur metabolism (4, 5).
Thioredoxins and glutaredoxins are small heat-stable proteins with redox-active cysteines that facilitate the reduction of other proteins by catalyzing cysteine thiol-disulfide exchange reactions (5). Thioredoxins contain two conserved cysteines that exist in either a reduced form as in thioredoxin-(SH)2) or in an oxidized form as in thioredoxin-S2) when they form an intramolecular disulfide bridge (5). Thioredoxins donate electrons from their active center dithiol to protein disulfide bonds (Protein-S2) that are then reduced to dithiols (Protein-(SH)2). The resulting oxidized thioredoxin disulfide is reduced directly by thioredoxin reductase with electrons donated by NADPH (5). Hence the thioredoxin reduction system consists of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and NADPH. Oxidized glutaredoxins, on the other hand, are reduced by the tripeptide glutathione (gamma-Glu-Cys-Gly, known as GSH) using electrons donated by NADPH (5). Hence the glutathione/glutaredoxin system consists of glutaredoxin, glutathione, glutathione reductase and NADPH.
S. cerevisiae contains a cytoplasmic thioredoxin system comprised of the thioredoxins Trx1p and Trx2p and the thioredoxin reductase Trr1p, and a complete mitochondrial thioredoxin system comprised of the thioredoxin Trx3p and the thioredoxin reductase Trr2p (2). Evidence suggests that the cytoplasmic thioredoxin system may have overlapping function with the glutathione/glutaredoxin system (6, 7). The mitochondrial thioredoxin system, on the other hand, does not appear to be able to substitute for either the cytoplasmic thioredoxin or glutathione/glutaredoxin systems (7). Instead, the mitochondrial thioredoxn proteins, thioredoxin (Trx3p) and thioredoxin reductase (Trr2p) have been implicated in the defense against oxidative stress generated during respiratory metabolism (1).
The two cytoplasmic thioredoxins (Trx1p and Trx2p) are believed to supply reducing equivalents to the enzymes ribonucleotide reductase (Rnr1p, Rnr2p, Rnr3p, Rnr4p) and 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) reductase (Met16p) (8, 9). Deletion of either TRX1 or TRX2 has no effect on cell growth or morphology (10), but, deletion of both genes affects the cell cycle, and makes the cells auxotrophic for methionine/cysteine (10, 11). Deletion of the single gene TRX2 does result in extreme sensitivity to H2O2 and is thereby believed to be involved in the response against H2O2 (12). The expression of TRX2 and TRR1 are regulated by the transcription factors Yap1p and Skn7p in response to H2O2 (12, 13).

[JURIST] US Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) [official website] said Sunday he plans to introduce legislation in the next session of Congress to reinstate the military draft in the United States. Interviewed on CBS TV program Face the Nation [program website; interview video], he said that military conscription would prompt lawmakers to think differently about deploying US troops abroad: "There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way." He also pointed to low troop levels as antithetical to long-term US interests: "If we're going to challenge Iran and challenge North Korea and then, as some people have asked, to send more troops to Iraq, we can't do that without a draft." Rangel, the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee [official website], nonetheless added that his bill would only require "a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals" and would not necessarily entail combat service for all draftees. Rangel, a Korean War veteran, has been an outspoken critic of the Iraq war from its inception. He has repeatedly pointed to the disparity of the burden of military service, as the armed forces are largely comprised of lower-income citizens. In 2004, he sponsored HR 163 [text], which would have required every US citizen and resident between the ages of 18 and 26, including women, to perform a two-year period of national service. The bill was roundly defeated in the House. Polls suggest that up to 70 percent of Americans oppose a reinstatement of the draft. AP has more.
[JURIST] The United States and Russia signed a landmark trade agreement [press release] Sunday bringing Russia one step closer in its 13-year drive for membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) [official website; JURIST news archive]. Under the agreement, Russia [JURIST news archive] will lower import tariffs on American goods while the US pledged to improve its trade relations with Russian companies. The agreement signals an improvement in the recently rocky relations between the US and Russia but the countries still have a way to go before normal trade relations [Moscow Times report] are established between Washington and Moscow. Before the WTO will vote on Russia's membership, Russia must complete bilateral trade negotiations [Washington Post report] with Costa Rica, Moldavia, and Georgia. Russia is the largest economy currently outside of the 149 member WTO. Critics have suggested the US may be using the agreement to gain Russian support for a sanctions package against Iran for nuclear activity. AP has more.
[JURIST] Iran's parliament [official website, in Persian] passed a bill Sunday instituting mandatory fingerprinting of all visiting US citizens. The predominantly conservative Majlis passed the bill by a margin of 135 to 26, and will next hand it to the Guardian Council [official website, in Persian] for review before it is written into law. The legislation won approval despite the efforts of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [official profile; BBC profile], who spoke out against the bill [JURIST report] in October, emphasizing that Americans are welcome in Iran as Iran only opposes US policy, not US citizens. The bill was proposed as a reaction to US regulations, implemented in 2002, requiring every Iranian to be fingerprinted upon arrival in the US. The Iranian proposal reads in part, "the government is obliged to fingerprint all American citizens, in order to reciprocate behavior of American officials towards Iranian citizens." Iranian Vice President for legal and parliamentary affairs Seyyed Ahmad Mousavi said Sunday that Iran's government is still opposed to the measure [IRNA report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Former Mexican Presidents Gustavo Diaz Ordaz (1964-1970) [Wikipedia backgrounder], Luis Echeverria (1970-1976) [JURIST news archive], and Jose Lopez Portillo (1976-1982) [Wikipedia backgrounder] were responsible for "crimes against humanity" in connection with the massacres and tortures of hundreds of leftist activists during the 1960s and 1970s, according to an official report [PDF] released Saturday by the Mexican government [official website]. The report reflects five years of investigations [JURIST report] by special prosecutor Ignacio Carrillo into Mexico's "dirty war" [National Security Archive backgrounder] and found that government under the three presidents took part in "massacres, forced disappearances, systematic torture and genocide to try to destroy a sector of society that it considered ideologically to be its enemy." The worst of the crimes against humanity were allegedly committed during Luis Echeverria's "Friendship Operation," when the military tortured and gunned down villagers in the state of Guerrero and set fire to their homes and property. Carrillo's report also focused on the 1968 massacre [backgrounder; BBC report] during a student-led revolt in Mexico City, thought to be organized by Echeverria, who was Interior Minister for then-President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz. The report found that top officials, including the presidents, knew of and authorized these and other crimes against leftist leaders, and did nothing to stop them. AP has more. In July, a Mexican judge cleared Echeverria [JURIST report] of genocide charges in connection with his role in repressing the 1968 revolt, ruling that the charges could not stand because Mexico's statute of limitations had run. Echeverria is the only one of the three ex-Presidents still living and has denied his involvement in the massacre.
[JURIST] Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak [official website; BBC profile] called for the country's parliament to amend Article 76 of the Egyptian constitution [text] Sunday amid criticism from the opposition that the article effectively protects the ruling party from genuine competition in the 2011 presidential elections. Mubarak made the announcement in a speech [National Democratic Party press release] marking the opening of a new parliamentary session. The current version of Article 76, amended in 2005 [NDP backgrounder, PDF] after a May referendum [JURIST report], prevents political parties with less than five percent representation in the Egyptian parliament from submitting a presidential candidate (the previous version has simply stipulated that Egyptians could vote yes or no on a single presidential candidate). Critics allege that the article was designed to allow Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party [party website] to nominate Mubarak's youngest son, Gamal Mubarak, as the sole candidate next presidential elections. Mubarak has won three elections since assuming power in 1981. Egypt has remained under emergency law [JURIST report] through Mubarak's president, giving the government a type of quasi-military control over the population. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official profile; JURIST news archive] attacked critics of President Bush's domestic surveillance program [JURIST news archive; US DOJ fact sheet, PDF] in a speech [transcript] at the Air Force Academy Saturday, saying their views are "shortsighted." Critics of the program, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website], argue that the program violates both the First and Fourth Amendment because it operates without judicial oversight [ACLU press release]. In Saturday's speech, Gonzales said that a definition of freedom that did not allow for the program is "a grave threat to the liberty and security of the American people." AP has more.Gonzales' remarks come three months after US District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ruled [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] that the program is unconstitutional because it violates free speech and privacy rights. The Bush administration has appealed the decision. Last month, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit [official website] ruled [text, PDF; JURIST report] that the program could continue to operate pending the appeal process. In a Friday address [JURIST report] to the national convention of the Federalist Society, Vice President Cheney slammed [text] the August ruling as "an indefensible act of judicial overreaching." Earlier this month, President Bush urged lawmakers [JURIST report] to pass White House-supported legislation that would clarify the legality of the program; last week outgoing Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter introduced a limited bill [JURIST report] to authorize domestic surveillance in a final bid to get a supportive measure passed before the new Congress begins in January.
[JURIST] Humans Right Watch [official website] urged the Chinese government Sunday to be more transparent about its practice of removing transplant organs from executed prisoners after Vice Minister of Health Huang Jiefu [China Vitae profile] admitted for the first time [UPI report] at a medical conference last week that most organs take from cadavers for transplants come from there "apart from a small portion of traffic victims". Nicholas Bequelin, a HRW researcher based in Hong Kong, told the Associated Press that "we call on China to disclose the number of people executed every year and the number of organ transplants that take place." Chinese authorities insist that all organ donations require informed consent [JURIST report] from the prisoners or their families.In March, the Chinese Ministry of Health [official website, in Chinese] issued a general ban on the sale of human organs [JURIST report] that took effect on July 1. The Ministry also issued new regulations [JURIST report] in August intended to counter unauthorized international trade in organs. The policy changes followed international criticism [JURIST report] that human organs taken from executed prisoners were sold to foreigners. AP has more.

Flash Pro CS6 to BB10
Hey there,
I am developing a NAQT Quiz Bowl App for my local team. The problem is that I only know the basics of ActionScript, and the only IDE that I know how to use is Flash Pro CS6. Does anyone have any idea, how to begin porting an app over. I have looked on the BB Dev site, but at this point I am pretty confused, and I would really appreciate some help.
Technology-Buzz - 12-09-2012, 10:36 PM #2
How do you want to port your app over? are you still planning on using ActionScript or are you wanting to use something else (WebWorks or Cascades)?
- 12-10-2012, 06:08 PM Thread Author #3
I was hoping that you install the SDK to Flash Pro. I would like to use ActionScript. How hard is it to learn Cascades/WebWorks?

Flash Pro CS6 to BB10
I build a *lot* of my apps using Flash Builder.
It uses AS3 entirely. Good if you are comfortable with actionscript.
Webworks, if you know HTML - you'll be fine.

How hard would it be to move to Flash Builder from Flash Pro CS6? Do you have a guide which will help transition?
Technology Buzz - 12-12-2012, 09:54 PM #7
Cant help with a guide. But, check out the blackberry developer support forums. One of them may be using Flash CS6.
It can be a rocky adjustment. Flash Builder does not have a visible stage system. So your stage and all elements need to be loaded and designed programatically. Images and assets need to be in a bubble, with the application and external resources are a bit tougher.
I have some samples up on my github if you need.

Marga enjoyed quilting, gardening, reading, going to yard sales and spoiling her grandbabies. Marga was a wonderful mother and grandmother; her children and grandchildren could not have asked for a more loving and caring "momma." She was preceded in death by her parents; the father of her children, Hershal Parker Sr.; and two great grandchildren, David Allen and Bobbie Jo Sweatt.
Bob Lee Asher, 68, of Benton died Sunday May 20, at his home. He was born April 22, 1944 in Cherokee City. He was a retired lineman for Benton Utilities, where he worked for 28 years, and was a Baptist. Bob grew up in the woods hauling pulpwood for the family business. With the knowledge he gained, he eventually built his own house over a period of 28 years. He loved his family and treasured spending time with his grandchildren.
