Rembrandt was a 17th century painter and etcher whose work came to dominate what has since been named the Dutch Golden Age. One of the most revered artists of all time, Rembrandt's greatest creative triumphs are seen in his portraits of his contemporaries, illustrations of biblical scenes and self-portraits as well as his innovative etchings and use of shadow and light.
Early Life
Born in Leiden, Netherlands in 1606, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn attended elementary school from 1612 to 1616 and then attended the Latin School in Leiden, where he partook in biblical studies and lessons on the classics. It is unclear whether Rembrandt completed his studies at the Latin School, but one account claims that he was removed from school early and sent to be trained as a painter at his own request.
From 1620 to either 1624 or 1625, Rembrandt trained as an artist under two masters. His first was painter Jacob van Swanenburgh (1571–1638), with whom he studied for about three years. Under van Swanenburgh, Rembrandt would have learned basic artistic skills. Van Swanenburgh specialized in scenes of hell and the underworld, and his ability to paint fire and the way its light reflects on surrounding objects was likely an influence on Rembrandt's later work. Rembrandt's second teacher was Amsterdam's Pieter Lastman (1583–1633), who was a well-known history painter and likely helped Rembrandt master the genre, which included placing figures from biblical, historical and allegorical scenes in complex settings.
The Leiden Period (1625–1631)
In 1625, Rembrandt settled back in Leiden, now a master in his own right, and over the next six years he laid the foundations for his life's work. It was during this time that Lastman's influence was most noticeable, as in several instances Rembrandt deconstructed his former master's compositions and reassembled them into his own, a practice carried on by Rembrandt's own pupils later on. Rembrandt's paintings created at this time were generally small but rich in detail; religious and allegorical themes were prominent. Rembrandt also worked on his first etchings (1626) in Leiden, and his eventual international fame would rely on the widespread dissemination of these works. Diverging from his contemporaries, Rembrandt endowed his etchings with a painterly quality achieved through suggestive handling of light and dark.
Rembrandt's style soon took an innovative turn involving his use of light. His new style left large areas of his paintings obscured in shadow; through his interpretation, illumination grew rapidly weaker as it extended into the painting, creating spots of brightness and pockets of deep darkness. In this vein, in 1629 Rembrandt completed Judas Repentant and Returning the Pieces of Silver, among others, works that further evidence his interest in the handling of light. Another example is his Peter and Paul Disputing (1628), in which the painting's lighted elements are clustered together and surrounded by clusters of darker tones, drawing the viewer's eye to a general focal point before moving in to observe the details within.

recipe reviews for:
"For my nicoise-style tuna salad, just open three cans: one each of tuna, white beans and sliced olives. Toss these ingredients with slivered red onion, olive oil and lemon juice. Take time, if you like, to boil eggs, or pick them up at the grocery salad bar. Serve the salad with steamed green beans. For an even simpler version, add a little chopped parsley to the salad for color and serve it with salted tomato slices."

The Nov. 3 cover story of TV Guide Magazine takes a close look at how Saturday Night Live has helped drive America's obsession with this year's historic presidential campaign. Along the way, SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels shared some thoughts with us about the show's political hot streak.
TVGuide.com: Saturday Night Live has made a lot of noise in past presidential election years, but it feels much bigger in this cycle. Why do you think that is?Lorne Michaels: When you get 70 million people watching a debate with rapt interest and you have the echo of it all on the Internet and the 24-hour news channels, almost everything gets seen. You don't need to worry about the straight line. On [the second] debate that we did on the Thursday show, Darrell [Hammond, as Sen. John McCain] wandering into the shot was an immediate laugh. There was no setup to it. You had to have ... read more
Cable often turns to comedians to talk about the news, so it was only a matter of time before one would get a show on CNN.
Starting Oct. 25, King of Comedy alum D.L. Hughley will have an hour on Saturday nights at 10 pm/ET (with a repeat on Sunday) to riff on the week's events. The weekly show — tentatively called D.L. Hughley Breaks the News — will combine comedy with interviews with newsmakers and CNN correspondents.
A professed news junkie, Hughley told TV Guide what viewers could expect. Read on for the complete Q&A. read more
Cable news personalities usually take a while to catch on in the ratings, but not MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. Since her show debuted on Sept. 8, she's been a strong competitor in the 9 p.m. hour, topping CNN's Larry King Live on some nights and often building on her audience lead-in from Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Only nine years ago, she was an activist and Rhodes Scholar turned morning show sidekick in Holyoke, Mass. Now she's a major participant in the national dialogue taking place each day on 24-hour cable news. The Biz recently stopped by her office at NBC News to talk about her rapid rise. read more
Most network newsmagazines have had to reinvent themselves to survive in recent years and none have done it as successfully as CBS's 48 Hours Mystery.

The Biz caught up with Zirinsky before the show's Saturday, Sept. 27, season premiere (at 10 pm ET). read more
The ratings record set when Ronald Reagan debated President Jimmy Carter in 1980 - 81 million viewers - could be broken on September 26 when Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain meet in the first of three match-ups that may decide who prevails in his quest for the White House. "The stakes are never higher than in a debate," says CBS News analyst Dan Bartlett, former counselor for President Bush. "The overall tension and anxiety is incredible." Here's what to expect. read more
It's been two and a half years since ABC News' Bob Woodruff suffered a massive brain injury while reporting in Iraq.

Jay Leno showed up incognito at the Television Critics Association on Monday to ask the inevitable questions about his future to NBC Entertainment co-chairmen Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff. Haven't we just seen this act? Yes, just last week when ABC chief Steve McPherson was quizzed by a disguised Jimmy Kimmel about that network's possible pursuit of Leno. Doesn't anybody have an original idea in this business? read more

Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel together in late night at ABC? If you listen to ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson, it could happen. At his Wednesday session with the Television Critics Association, McPherson diffused the inevitable question about Jay Leno jumping to ABC by having Jimmy Kimmel pose as an out-of-town reporter. ("If you were to even talk to Jay Leno, wouldn't that be like contract tampering? Wouldn't that be illegal? Couldn't you go to jail for that?") Very funny. But it doesn't change the equation. If Jay Leno doesn't stay with NBC after he's done with the Tonight Show in May 2009, ABC is favored to become his new home. And McPherson acknowledged that's OK with him. "Someone like Leno doesn't come along every year," McPherson said when cornered by reporters after his press conference. "That's a huge possibility." read more
By the time the 2008 race for the White House is decided, NBC News political director Chuck Todd will have the most famous TV beard since Mitch Miller (Google him). Before joining NBC in 2007, Todd toiled for 15 years at Hotline, a newsletter for campaign insiders. The experience gave him a deep knowledge of the political process. Now he's a must-watch analyst on NBC and MSNBC - even inspiring two fan Web sites, VivaChuckTodd.com and ChuckToddFacts.com. Unauthorized Todd-worshiping merchandise is also available online. The Biz recently caught up with the goateed guru of all things electoral. read more

Most anticipated tech products for 2013
3. Blackberry 10
Much to the dismay of Blackberry fans, the promised 2012 release never happened. This earned them a place on our 2012 Technology Flops piece.
Research in Motion (RIM), the maker of the BlackBerry smartphone, plans to unveil the new BlackBerry 10 operating system in January. That is (hopefully) good news for a company that recently sacked hundreds of employees and lost contracts with the US government over security and reliability issues with RIM products.
RIM has fallen from one of the largest smartphone makers in the world to trailing behind Apple and Android products. The Blackberry 10 is a make or break product for the company. So far, early reports are positive. The new browser is allegedly faster than anything on the market and a QWERTY keyboard version is said to be available soon after the touch screen version is launched.

i still can't understand why a product that was not released is a flop, really makes no sense even if the reason to say it was a flop was because it didn't get released. its just a filler spot and a place to further criticize RIM

Flop would tend to imply something that happened and failed in 2012 rather than something that did not happen at all in 2012 though which would simply be a failure.
IMO I think they're saying that the RELEASE was a flop since it never happened. They were planning on an October 2012 release. That time came and went with no BB10. That was the flop, not the product itself.

pantless i get that the mean the launch failed but to claim the technology has failed is un true because it has yet to be released to have that ability to fail, if the list was called biggest launch flops of 2012 then i can say ok, but to put it on a list of actual product fails, then no - 12-26-2012, 09:44 AM #8

Born in Switzerland on August 8, 1981, Roger Federer was among the Top 3 junior tennis players in Switzerland by age 11. He turned pro in 1998, and knocked out reigning champion Pete Sampras in the fourth round at Wimbledon 2001. Federer became the first Swiss man to win a Grand Slam title, when he won the Wimbledon 2003 singles. In 2004, he won the Australian Open, the U.S. Open and the ATP Masters,
"I can't stay No. 1 for 50 years, you know. We'll see what happens."
and retained the Wimbledon singles title. He also moved from the No. 2. spot to No. 1. In 2006, he won the Australian Open, his fourth successive Wimbledon singles title and his third successive U.S. Open. Federer held the No. 1 ranking from 2004 to 2008, regaining it in 2009—and several times thereafter, after frequent pushes by such rivals as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. In 2012, Federer defeated Djokovic in the Wimbledon semifinals, and beat Andy Murray to become the Wimbledon 2012 champion—Federer's seventh Wimbledon win. The victory helped Federer regain the No. 1 spot, and tie the world No. 1 ranking record of 286 weeks (set by Pete Sampras).
Early Life
Tennis star Roger Federer was born on August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland, to Swiss father Robert Federer and South-African mother Lynette Du Rand. Federer's parents met while on a business trip for a pharmaceutical company, where they both worked.
Federer took an interest in sports at an early age, playing tennis and soccer at the age of 8. The young athlete excelled at athletics, and by age 11, he was among the Top 3 junior tennis players in Switzerland. At the age of 12, he decided to quit other sports and focus all his efforts on tennis, which he felt he excelled at more naturally. By the age of 14, he was fully immersed in the game, playing 2-3 tournaments per month, and practicing six hours of the game a week, along with up to three hours of conditioning. To perfect his technique, he often imitated his idols, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg.
At age 14, Federer became the national junior champion in Switzerland, and was chosen to train at the Swiss National Tennis Center in Ecublens, and had his his first sponsorship by the age of 16. He joined the International Tennis Federation junior tennis circuit in July 1996. In 1998, shortly before he turned pro, Federer won the junior Wimbledon title and the Orange Bowl. He was recognized as the ITF World Junior Tennis champion of the year.
Tennis Star
Federer won the Wimbledon boys' singles and doubles titles in 1998, and turned professional later that year. At Wimbledon 2001, he caused a sensation by knocking out reigning singles champion Pete Sampras in the fourth round. In 2003, following a successful season on grass, Federer became the first Swiss man to win a Grand Slam title when he became a Wimbledon singles champion.
At the beginning of 2004, Federer had a world ranking of No. 2, and that same year, he won the Australian Open, the U.S. Open, the ATP Masters and retained the Wimbledon singles title. He was ranked No.

Camden, new jersey man sentenced to prison for scheme to steal government checks from u.S. mail
May 24, 2011 |
CAMDEN, N.J. – Gilbert Mercado was sentenced today to 51 months in prison for his role in a scheme to steal government funds in the form of checks from mailboxes and mail trucks in connection with an identity theft scheme, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Gilbert Mercado, 37, of Camden, previously pleaded guilty to an Information charging him with theft of government funds before U.S. District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez, who also imposed the sentence today in Camden federal court.
According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court:
Mercado admitted that he, along with husband and wife Nathaniel Johnson, 43, and Lakisha Scanes, 30, also of Camden, stole mail from U.S. Postal vehicles and mailboxes in the Camden area from November 2009 through April 2010. They stole the mail in order to obtain checks, including Social Security, unemployment and tax refund checks issued by the federal government and the state of New Jersey.
Mercado took the personal information from the stolen checks – including names and addresses – and used that information to obtain false identification documents bearing his photograph in the names of various payees. He then used the fake documents to cash the stolen checks at various check cashing businesses in Camden and elsewhere. Mercado said he stole and cashed the checks in exchange for payment from Johnson and Scanes.
The scheme caused more than $70,000 in losses from November 1, 2009, to April 29, 2010.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Rodriguez sentenced Mercado to three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $70,804.57 in restitution. Scanes and Johnson have also pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme and are scheduled to be sentenced on June 29, 2011, and July 26, 2011, respectively.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited U.S. Postal Inspectors, under the direction of Karen Higgins, Postal Inspector In Charge of the Philadelphia Division, for their investigation leading to today's sentence. He also thanked the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Edward J. Ryan; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General, Office of Investigations, Northeast Field Office, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey G. Hughes; and the Camden Police Department, under the direction of Chief John Scott Thomson.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Diana Carrig of the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division in Camden.
Defense counsel: Frederick W. Klepp Esq., Cherry Hill, N.J.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.

Fantasy Snowfall League 2013 Recap
We hope you enjoyed playing along in our Fantasy Snowfall League in early 2013.
Winter Weather Expert and League Commissioner, Tom Niziol (Facebook | Twitter), chose 30 cities across the U.S., with average annual snowfall ranging from over 10 feet to less than six inches.
Snow totals for all 30 cities in the Fantasy Snowfall League over the final two weeks are shown above. Click the link below to see results from all 12 weeks.
Here at The Weather Channel, each of five teams drafted a roster of six cities. Each team submitted a lineup of four cities they thought would get the most snowfall during the upcoming week. The other two cities on the team's roster were "benched" for that week.
At the end of the completed week (early Friday morning), we tabulated snowfall totals for each team's starting lineup. The team with the highest snowfall total of its starting lineup "won the week" and received a five-inch bonus added to their total snowfall score.
Play began on January 1, and continued through March 31, 2013.
We have the snow totals for all 30 cities over the past two weeks of the season in the grid at right. Click on the link below the grid to see weekly results over the entire season for all 30 cities.
Morning Rush (Mike Bettes, Maria LaRosa) built up a huge lead half way through the season, and were able to hold on to win our league here at The Weather Channel.
The final season standings among the five teams at The Weather Channel are shown below. Again, note 5" bonuses were added for each weekly winner.
- Morning Rush (Mike Bettes, Maria LaRosa): 260.4"
- Weather.com ("Digital Dendrites"; Jonathan Erdman, Chris Dolce, Nick Wiltgen): 228.8"
- Wake Up With Al (Al Roker, Stephanie Abrams): 182.6"
- Weather Center Live (Jim Cantore, Chris Warren, Crystal Egger): 161.5"
- Weekend View (Jen Carfagno, Eric Fisher): 136.9"
Now, let's see which cities met and fell short of expectations.

Eco-dent Between!® Dental Gum Sugar Free Wintergreen -- 12 Packs
Great Deal!!
This is definitely worth the buy. You get 12 individual packs, each with 12 pieces. Very portable. Gives me refreshing breath after meals. Highly recommend this to others, the fact that it doesn't have sugar is cool too.
June 25, 2013
great-tasting gum that's good for your teeth
I use this gum to clean my teeth when I'm on the go. After I eat, I usually do a quick job between my teeth with a proxy brush and then chew two pieces of Eco-dent Wintergreen gum for about 15 minutes. Love the taste and the benefits to my dental health.
July 2, 2012
Great sugar free gum
I like this gum in that it contains slippery elm. The taste is not as intense as steviadent. I will try another gum next time.

Azim Nakhooda could only live the comfortable life for so long.
He had a good job as director of investments at Cleveland Financial Group, a unit of Philadelphia-based Lincoln Financial Group. But life under the corporate umbrella eventually became too smothering for Mr. Nakhoodas liking. And when a group of 32 Cleveland Financial workers left last year in search of independence, Mr. Nakhooda, 33 , saw his way out.
Mr. Nakhoodas decision to leave, which he insists wasnt as difficult a choice as one might believe, provides an insight into Mr. Nakhoodas personality. He was willing to put his career on the line to help create a new firm, a career step he admits he never thought he would take.
I could have stayed at Cleveland Financial, made a good living and lived in Cleveland for a long time, he said.
In the end, he saw the benefits outweighing the risks. Sometimes, job and income security arent the most important aspects of life.

For those looking for a cheaper option...these work REALL REALLY well. Can use any couch or chair, it is ROCK SOLID. No matter how much force you put into it and it folds up nicely to put away. I highly recommend it. Just get the big boy for whatever wheel you have. Check the reviews for it too, very highly rated.
http://www.amazon.com/Xlerator-Mi...76F43RRMHR The guy sells different models for different wheels http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main...76F43RRM Last edited by dsnotgood; 11-30-2012 at 08:10 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
I'm pretty heavily involved in simracing and I can tell you this is an AMAZING deal. In terms of rating it on a 10 scale I'd give it a 10. If you enjoy racing games and have any interest in getting a wheel/pedal combination get this. As far as I know the next cheapest cockpit available is going to run ~$600.
It won't fold up well. This is ultimately going to have to become a piece of furniture in whatever room you use it in. If that's an issue for you then it may not be a good deal for you. The difference between a wheel-stand and cockpit like this is significant though. With regards to a recommended wheel you can get a DFGT for $60 refurbished or $100 on sale. They're a good starter wheel if you use it for PC/PS3. The only XBox wheel is the Fanatec CSR which is a good wheel. Make sure you get the CSR Elite pedals or clubsport pedals though. If anyone is looking for a deal on the Fanatec CSW I have a new in box BMW GT2 rim for sale. Regular price is $250 + shipping. |
You mixed it up with GT3, this one is...
"Porsche 911 GT2 Wheel is compatible with your Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 and PC. The most compatible wheel As an official licensed Xbox 360 peripheral, it is perfect to play Forza Motorsport but you can also play it on PS3." (from Fanatec site) http://us.fanatec.com/RacingWheel...u |
Good deal, but I'm looking to copy this idea. Better use of space IMHO.

This is juat a short film I made back a while back, reminds me of the "Stay Away" Tiny Story :)
Some people likes everything about change. Because of how they act and how they look. I don't like change because it's difficult for me to get used to the new thing. I liked a girl long time ago... |
So I started to edit some of the clips I got from the collaboration from Dr. Gory and 6 other people. I also did some of the clips. The music is different. I hope you guys like it :)
I'm still having trouble putting this in the flickering lights collaboration. Still waiting for HitRECord to fix that.
Hey Guys, I need your help.
So I made a short film a while ago called 9 Missed Calls using Pamagotchi's record "Hey... It's Me". So basically, that film was just me walking around town looking around while her voice is talking. It didn't really make any sense and I wasn't content with the outcome.
I decided to make a remake of it and make it a lot better.
So I need a lot of stuff for this film. I need a lot of footage of passing cars, telephones, people walking around, and other stuff that you think that can relate to the record.
I also need a plot and a story, I need scripts. So if you guys can make one for me, that'll be great!
I want the film to look like one of those videos in the Flickering Lights collaboration because I thought it would be cool to have some flashbacks like those flickering things.
I thank you for helping on this.. I really wish you guys the best :)
Here's a preview of how I want it to look like.

Terrible product and a terrible companyPros: Nothing. Cons: The product I received didn't work. That is understandable, that happens sometimes. So I sent it in to the manufacturer for a warranty replacement. Other companies, such as Western Digital, have supplied me with RMA shipping labels in the past to replace their products. Velocity Micro, however, allows the customer to assume that responsibility. Other Thoughts: Do not buy this or anything else from Velocity Micro! Did you find this review helpful? |
cheap Android tabletPros: Price. Cons: Weight. Speed. Android 2.0. Other Thoughts: The refurbished Cruz T103 is an excellent value. You basically get a full featured tablet for $100. The Cruz unfortunately has numerous shortcomings. Its slow. The screen is not super responsive, often requiring you to press and hold for it to register. It does not support the Android Marketplace, however you can install the Appstore for Android (offered by a retailer Newegg wont let me name -- hint: It's named after the largest river in world). This thing heavy -- my laptop weighs less. The weight unfortunately makes it unusable to read ebooks if laying in bed. Also, you are stuck with Android 2.0 with no possibility of upgrading it. I had a lot of problems initially, which I discovered later had to do with the date and time being wrong. Before doing anything, DOWNLOAD THE LATEST UPDATE FROM VELOCITY MICRO. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great BuyPros: A great Android tablet for the price. Was able to get tons of apps installed on it. Plays music great, really good for reading e-books (you have to install a separate app to read in epub format, which is best). Capacitative touch screen is very nice. Lots of memory (can run several apps at once) and comes with 8GB SD card. Cons: Wish it had a camera, but for the price it is already packed with way more features than other similar devices in the price range. Other Thoughts: Would recommend that one buy the extended warranty as I did, just in case. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

I'm installing pine shiplap panelling in my basement vertically. Right now it is a cool and dry space. Should I be butting these panels up against each other tightly or should I be leaving an expansion space between each panel? I'm nailing and cementing each panel to drywall and studs when I can but not to each other. Thanks.

[JURIST] Serge Brammertz [official profile, JURIST news archive], deputy prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and head of the UN International Independent Investigation Commission [UN materials] probing the February 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri [JURIST news archive], delivered the panel's latest report to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan [official profile, JURIST news archive] on Saturday and noted that Syria's cooperation with the probe has been "generally satisfactory." Brammertz's report indicates that the UNIIIC has made "considerable progress" but also supports extending the commission's mandate for another year to allow for "the strengthening or exclusion of some of the existing case hypotheses." The UN Security Council [official website] is scheduled to take up the report on June 14. Syria's cooperation has been an issue in the commission's investigation and the Security Council passed a resolution [text] last October demanding Syria's cooperation with the Hariri probe [JURIST report]. After initially refusing to meet with investigators, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad [BBC profile] and other top Syrian officials met with Brammertz [JURIST report] in April. Prior commission reports have implicated Syrian officials in the assassination [JURIST report]. Detlev Mehlis, the German prosecutor who headed the probe until resigning at the end of 2005, has also said that he is "convinced" that Syrian authorities are responsible for Hariri's death [JURIST report]. Aljazeera has more.6/14/06 11:51 AM ET - The Fourth report of the International Independent Investigation Commission [PDF] is now available.
[JURIST] The US Army has announced that three as-yet-unidentified Guantanamo detainees died early this morning local time in apparent multiple suicides. An official investigation is already underway. These are the first suicides confirmed among prisoners at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] since the facility housing US terror suspects at the naval station there was opened in 2002. A US Southern Command [official website] statement released in Miami says:
Two Saudis and one Yemeni, each located in Camp 1, were found unresponsive and not breathing in their cells by guards. Medical teams responded quickly and all three detainees were provided immediate emergency medical treatment in attempts to revive them. The three detainees were pronounced dead by a physician after all lifesaving measures had been exhausted. The names of the deceased are not being released. The State Department notified and is in ongoing discussions with the governments of Saudi Arabia and Yemen.The remains of the deceased detainees are being treated with the utmost respect. A cultural advisor is assisting the Joint Task Force to ensure that the remains are handled in a culturally and religiously appropriate manner.The U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) has initiated an investigation, per standard operating procedure, to determine the cause and manner of death.
[JURIST] Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas [BBC profile] on Saturday set July 26 as the date for a referendum [JURIST report] in which Palestinians will vote on whether to establish a Palestinian state and implicitly recognize Israel. Palestinians will vote on the "national reconciliation" document [text; summary], which was written by detainees from Palestinian factions who are serving time in Israeli jails. The document calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state on land captured by Israel during the 1967 Mideast War [Wikipedia backgrounder].Earlier this week, Abbas extended a deadline he had set for the governing Hamas party [ICT profile] to accept the proposed document. A Hamas spokesman in Gaza said, however, that the party would not accept the referendum decision and that it is presently "studying its options." Abbas said he planned to go to Gaza to encourage the factions to reopen their dialogue, and if the sides came to an agreement, the referendum would be cancelled. AP has more.
[JURIST] The number of worldwide refugees reached its lowest number since 1980 [UNHCR press release] in 2005, but the overall number of internally displaced people in the world has increased dramatically, according to a report [text, PDF] released Friday by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) [official website]. In 2005, 8.4 million people were counted as refugees, which is a drop from 9.5 million in 2004. However, the number of displaced people due to internal country conflicts increased from 5.4 million in 13 countries in 2004 to 6.6 million in 16 countries in 2005. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres [official profile] cited Darfur, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo [JURIST news archives] as countries with high displacement rates that must work to remedy the situation. UNHCR officials continue to attribute the decline in asylum seekers [Reuters report] to the imposition of tighter asylum restrictions in industrialized countries [JURIST report].The UNHCR report counts 20.8 million people as the total population of concern in 2005, which includes refugees, internally displaced people, returned refugees, returned displaced individuals, asylum seekers, and stateless individuals. Five countries top the list of concern - Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Sudan, and Somalia. The Angola Press has more.
[JURIST] An internal report [text] conducted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website] and released Friday has concluded that UN authorities were not at fault and there was no criminal conduct [press release] in the March 5 suicide [JURIST report] of Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic [ICTY case backgrounder]. The investigation began after Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Draskovic [official profile] claimed that UN authorities were responsible for the suicide by failing to prevent it and demanded that a thorough investigation take place [JURIST report]. ICTY vice president Judge Kevin Parker [ICTY profile] stated that there were no signs that Babic would commit suicide.Babic was convicted in 2004 for his involvement with ethnic cleansing during the Balkan wars instigated by former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic [JURIST news archive], who also died in ICTY custody in March before his trial concluded. Babic was serving a 13-year sentence [JURIST report] after pleading guilty under a plea agreement [text] in exchange for aiding prosecutors in other cases. AP has more.
[JURIST] A federal appeals court ruled [opinion, PDF] Friday to suppress three documents which contained information that the US Department of the Interior [official website] allegedly destroyed documents related to a class-action lawsuit brought by Native Americans [DOI Indian Trust Fund website], who claim they are owed tens of billions of dollars. The plaintiffs filed the lawsuit ten years ago, accusing the government of mismanaging an Indian trust [advocacy website; JURIST news archive] in their names for a period of 120 years. The suppressed documents were written by Alan Balaran, who was appointed in 1999 as a "special master" to oversee the exchange of information between the parties.Balaran personally visited Indian reservations and federal depositories during his tenure and claimed that Interior Department officials neglected to report problems and also destroyed documents, sometimes purposefully. But the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit [official website] allowed the reports to be suppressed due to Balaran's hiring of a former Interior Department contractor who had previously accused the department of fraud. The expert was able to edit Balaran's reports, which the court determined was a "biased way of conducting and reporting upon an investigation." Balaran resigned [press release] as special master in April 2004, claiming that the Bush administration had been pursuing his recusal to silence criticisms of the Department of Interiors handling of individual Indian trust accounts, and alleging that the administration knowingly allowed energy companies to pay Indians far less than non-Indians for oil, gas and other leases. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Food and Drug Administration [official website] said Friday that new rules [press release] requiring wholesalers to be able to track prescription drugs will take effect in December. The rules stem from the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 [summary], a law aimed at combating drug counterfeiting [FDA backgrounder]. The FDA has so far been unable to fully enforce this law due to a lack of practical means to do so. Certain regulations requiring distributors to document the "pedigree" of drug products [draft compliance policy guide] had been delayed due to a concern about their impact on small wholesalers, but in a report [text] Friday, the FDA said that "it can no longer justify not implementing these regulations." The advent of radio frequency identification tags technology (RFID) [Wikipedia backgrounder] now allows wholesalers to more effectively and efficiently track individual bottles.According to the World Health Organization [official website], counterfeiting involves between 8 and 10 percent of all drugs sold. FDA acting Commissioner Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach [official profile] has said that the use of RFID tags will help to reduce the risk that these counterfeit drugs will enter the US market. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Friday to allow two anti-abortion health care groups to intervene in a California lawsuit [complaint, PDF] regarding the federal Weldon Amendment [backgrounder], which prohibits federal money from going to federal, state and local governments that discriminate against health care service providers not offering abortion [JURIST news archive] services. The California health code may be interpreted to mandate emergency abortion services, so California Attorney General Bill Lockyer [official website] brought the lawsuit [press release] claiming the Weldon Amendment is unconstitutional in an attempt to protect federal funding for those emergency situations.The Alliance for Catholic Health Care [advocacy website] and the Medical Groups, which represents anti-abortion health organizations, both petitioned to join the Bush administration in defending the amendment, and the three-judge panel of the court allowed the groups to intervene due to the consequences to health care practitioners if the amendment is found to be unconstitutional, saying "Congress passed the Weldon Amendment precisely to keep doctors who have moral qualms about performing abortions from being put to the hard choice of acting in conformity with their beliefs, or risking imprisonment or loss of professional livelihood." The court said if Lockyer is successful in his pursuit against the amendment, California will be able to prosecute health care providers that refuse to offer emergency abortion services.

Rosano said the Clay Center is trying to think outside the box.
"We never want people to think of the Clay Center as just a building, but to think of the Clay Center as a mission," he said.
An example, he said, was the center's recent partnership with Live on the Levee to bring the Campbell Brothers to Haddad Riverfront Park for a free show.
"The results were outstanding. I'm not sure the figures, but I'd put attendance at 2,000 folks," he said - noting that's more than double what the Woody Hawley Series brought in for a full season.
"It was well worth the investment," he said.
Rosano said the Clay Center hoped to find other creative partnerships down the road that would appeal to broader audiences and didn't rule out working with the Woody Hawley Series in some way later.
"We actually proposed a facility rental agreement," he added.
Sowell hopes the Woody Hawley Series returns to the Clay Center eventually, too. A lot of people support the shows, he said, and want them to continue, but he said he'd need to re-evaluate the series.
"I'm going to take a year off and revamp everything," he said. "I'm going to form a board and try to get us on firm financial footing and I hope we come back bigger and better."
