It's a tiny book, only 116 pages long, but it contains a monumental truth, another sign that one and a half million dead Armenians will not go away. It's called My Grandmother: a Memoir and it's written by Fethiye Cetin and it opens up graves. For when she was growing up in the Turkish town of Marden, Fethiye's grandmother Seher was known as a respected Muslim housewife. It wasn't true. She was a Christian Armenian and her real name was Heranus. We all know that the modern Turkish state will not acknowledge the 1915 Armenian Holocaust, but this humble book may help to change that. Because an estimated two million Turks – alive in Turkey today – had an Armenian grandparent.
As children they were put on the death marches south to the Syrian desert but – kidnapped by brigands, sheltered by brave Muslim villagers (whose own courage also, of course, cannot be acknowledged by Turkey) or simply torn from their dying mothers – later became citizens of the modern Turkey which Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was to set up. Yet as Maureen Freely states in her excellent preface, four generations of Turkish schoolchildren simply do not know Ottoman Anatolia was between a quarter and a half Christian.
Heranus – whose face stares out at the reader from beneath her Muslim headscarf – was seized by a Turkish gendarme, who sped off on horseback after lashing her mother with a whip. Even when she died of old age, Fethiye tried to record the names of Heranus's Armenian parents – Isguhi and Hovannes – but was ignored by the mosque authorities. It was Heranus, with her razor-sharp memory, who taught Fethiye of her family's fate and this book does record in terrible detail the now familiar saga of mass cruelty, of rape and butchery.
In one town, the Turkish police separated husbands, sons and old men from their families and locked the women and children into a courtyard with high walls. From outside came blood-curdling shrieks. As Fethiye records, "Heranus and her brothers clung to their mother's skirts, but though she was terrified, she was desperate to know what was going on. Seeing that another girl had climbed on to someone's shoulders to see over the wall, she went to her side. The girl was still looking over the wall; when, after a very long while, she came down again, she said what she had seen. All her life, Heranus would never forget what came from this girl's lip: 'They're cutting the men's throats, and throwing them into the river.'"
Fethiye says she wrote her grandmother's story to "reconcile us with our history; but also to reconcile us with ourselves" which, as Freely writes, cuts right through the bitter politics of genocide recognition and denial. Of course, Ataturk's decision to move from Arabic to Latin script also means that vital Ottoman documents recalling the genocide cannot be consulted by most modern-day Turks. At about the same time, it's interesting to note, Stalin was performing a similarly cultural murder in Tajikistan where he moved the largely Persian language from Arabic to Cyrillic.
And so history faded away. And I am indebted to Cosette Avakian, who sent me Fethiye's book and who is herself the granddaughter of Armenian survivors and who brings me news of another memorial of Armenians, this time in Wales. Wales, you may ask? And when I add that this particular memorial – a handsome Armenian cross embedded in stone – was vandalised on Holocaust Memorial Day last January, you may also be amazed. And I'm not surprised because not a single national paper reported this outrage. Had it been a Jewish Holocaust memorial stone that was desecrated, it would – quite rightly – have been recorded in our national newspapers. But Armenians don't count.
As a Welsh Armenian said on the day, "This is our holiest shrine. Our grandparents who perished in the genocide do not have marked graves. This is where we remember them." No one knows who destroyed the stone: a request for condemnation by the Turkish embassy in London went, of course, unheeded, while in Liverpool on Holocaust Day, the Armenians were not even mentioned in the service.
Can this never end? Fethiye's wonderful book may reopen the past, but it is a bleak moment to record that when the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was prosecuted for insulting "Turkishness", Fethiye defended him in court. Little good it did Dink. He was murdered in January last year, his alleged killer later posing arrogantly for a picture next to the two policemen who were supposed to be holding him prisoner. It was in Dink's newspaper Agos that Fethiye was to publish her grandmother's death notice. This was how Heranus's Armenian sister in America came to read of her death. For Heranus's mother survived the death marches to remarry and live in New York.
Wales, the United States, even Ethiopia, where Cosette Avakian's family eventually settled, it seems that every nation in the world is home to the Armenians. But can Turkey ever be reconciled with its own Armenian community, which was Hrant Dink's aim? When Fethiye found her Aunt Marge in the US – this was Heranus' sister, of course, by her mother's second marriage – she tried to remember a song that Heranus sang as a child. It began with the words "A sad shepherd on the mountain/Played a song of love..." and Marge eventually found two Armenian church choir members who could put the words together.
"My mother never missed the village dances," Marge remembered. "She loved to dance. But after her ordeal, she never danced again." And now even when the Welsh memorial stone that stands for her pain and sorrow was smashed, the British Government could not bring itself to comment. As a member of the Welsh Armenian community said at the time, "We shall repair the cross again and again, no matter how often it is desecrated." And who, I wonder, will be wielding the hammer to smash it next time?

Oklahoma's departing secretary of state will buy law practice
Since leaving state government, Slater also has been hired to do legal work the past 20 years for the Senate.
Slater said Coffee is "a unique and perfect fit" to take over his practice and the needs of his clients.
"A law practice is more than a service business; it is a fragile relationship of trust between a lawyer and his client not easily established and easily besmirched if it is not well tended," he said. "In accepting this state position, I have been concerned about the organizations and individuals who have relied on me the past 25 years. … I am so pleased that he is available."
Coffee, of Oklahoma City, was elected to the Senate in 1998 and was the first Republican to lead the Senate when the GOP gained control of the chamber for the first time after the 2008 elections. After his term expired in November 2010, he served as co-chairman of Fallin's transition team.
Fallin, elected governor in November 2010, named Coffee secretary of state in January 2011, shortly before she took office.
During his tenure as state Election Board secretary, Slater launched a comprehensive program that led to mandatory training for 15,000 election officials, including county and precinct officials and voter registrars. He was instrumental in the 1974 rewriting of all Oklahoma's election laws for the first time in state history, and he developed voter information programs.

Mr. Koji Sekimizu says in his blog that it was fitting that Nor-Shipping's theme – 'Next generation shipping' – came in the year that IMO implemented EEDI & SEEM.
Excerpts from the Secretary-General's blog entry follow:
"Shipping is still in an adjustment period. Following the super-profitable decade before the global economic contraction, a huge order book, the steady delivery of new tonnage and shrunken transport demand have combined to create a significant gap between supply and demand."
Shipping is a cyclical industry and we have seen a similar state of affairs in the 1970s, when the world encountered the oil crises in 1973 and 1978. In order to overcome the over tonnage, measures applied by the industry were ship lay-up, slow steaming, and eventually ship scrapping.
More than three decades later, we have encountered the same situation. Unless the global economy takes a new round of significant growth, the gap cannot be resolved without similar measures to those applied in late 1970s and 1980s.
But I see a difference between the two situations – and that difference is the current environmental concerns and much tighter regulations. Today, we have a clear demand from the public for clean air, biodiversity and mitigation of CO2 emissions. To deal with those demands for the environment, at IMO we have adopted sulphur regulations, the Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention and the EEDI and SEEMP.
Those environmental regulations will have a major impact on the adjustment process to get shipping out of the slump and return to a profitable period as soon as possible. In my view, environmental regulations adopted at IMO will be a driver for exploring a new generation of ships which would modernise shipping fleets and facilitate the adjustment required to restore a sound balance between supply and demand."
At the panel of the opening session of Nor-Shipping, I stated that, as the goal setter, we should make every effort to keep and maintain the set goals in order to give confidence to innovators and the industry to move forward and give assurance that their efforts for innovation and new technology will be rewarded.
It is important to understand the financial difficulties of the industry and adjust, for example, the implementation programme for ballast water requirements, to ease the burden on the industry for retrofitting the required facilities under the BWM Convention. But we should not move the overall goal posts, as this would penalize early investors and discourage innovators who need confidence in stable regulations."

- Comparable sales up 10% in July

Police Officers Under Investigation, after Submitting Police Dog Peach's Witness Report
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Jenalyn Villamarin | February 18, 2013 4:23 PM EST
In England, the West Midlands police officers are under investigation after they submitted a witness report that police dog "Peach" filed as a joke. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) did not find the prank amusing and complained the gravity of the situation to the internal affairs division of the West Midlands police station.
The witness form was pinned up on the wall of the police station last week. The police officers decided to fill the form with a child-like handwriting and even signed it with a paw print as a humorous approach to deal with their every day stress at work.
Peach the Police Dog's form eventually ended up in the social networking sites like "Facebook" and "Twitter" where most of the users found the joke funny and commented on the exposed image of the witness form. The dog's witness form statement reads: "I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy Peach."
However, the CPS expressed their concern that a filed witness report must be taken seriously and should not be mistaken for a practical joke especially to the public. The West Midlands Police's Professional Standards Department has already spoken to the police officer who shared the photograph identified as PC Mark Tissington.
Fortunately, Mark Tissington might not be reprimanded for his actions as well as the police officer who wrote on the witness form. The unnamed police officer will reportedly not be given a disciplinary action over the incident.
"It's a difficult time for police and sometimes humor is a way of venting frustrations. I would urge our PSD to be even-handed in the way they deal with it," Ian Edwards, Chairman of the West Midlands branch of the Police Federation, stated.

Toyota recalling 1.9 million Prius hybrid cars over software fault
February 12, 2014 - 15:18 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Toyota is recalling 1.9 million of its top-selling Prius hybrid cars because of a software fault that may cause the vehicle to slow down suddenly, BBC News reports.
The world's biggest carmaker said it had identified more than 400 reports of the problem, with the bulk of them occurring in Japan and North America.
No accidents or injuries have been reported over the defect, Toyota said.
The recall comes weeks after Toyota halted the sale of some car models in the US over problematic seat heaters. It also deals a blow to the Japanese carmaker, which has been seen its reputation suffer following a series of mass recalls in recent years.
The latest recall affects the current generation Prius sedans made since March 2009.
The Prius was first released in 1997 and is one of the most popular hybrid vehicles on the market. The new software problem can set off warning lights, and will "probably cause the vehicle to enter a failsafe" mode, which will see the car's driving power reduced.
"In limited cases, the hybrid system might shut down and the vehicle will stop, perhaps while being driven," Toyota said.
In 2010, Toyota's share price was hit after more than 10 million of its vehicles were recalled over unintended acceleration issues.
Despite its problems, Toyota is forecasting a record profit for this year because of the effects of the weaker Japanese currency, which makes its cars cheaper abroad.
Last year, it was the top-selling global carmaker, with worldwide deliveries rising 2.4% to nearly 10 million vehicles.

Travel Blogs from Tolon
Dip in the Mediterranean
morning we headed out early for Epidauros to see the archaeological site
including the theater and healing center. There Dr. Hatlie gave us an
introduction before we had the opportunity to check out the theater. The
theater itself is quite large and we had the opportunity to go sit in it while
some students stood on the center disk and sang or talked. The best performance
was definitely Ed, ...
Coast to Coast
... was the bronze statue of Zeus/Poseidon (they don't actually know which one it is). We didn't have a ton of time in this museum, because we had to head out to Corinth. At the archaeological site of Corinth we had a couple lectures of introduction to Corinth, St. Paul in Corinth, and the Doric temple to Apollo. Honestly at this point I've gotten kind of numbed to seeing so many churches and ruins, 10 day ...
... an Athenscentric view of Greece and not much has been unearthed of the great buildings of ancient Sparta. Although known for is military advancements, Sparta gave us our education system. From age 7 to 12 boys went to barracks for elementary school and from age 13 to 18 they went to high school which included academic subjects as well as military training.
There is wonderful plaque showing all of the winners of Olympic events from the beginning of the ...
Corinth #1: Isthmus be my lucky day!
... so well with their mainland Attic cousins in Athens, but that is another story for another day we'll leave Thucydides to tell.
The two hour bus trip traces handily the ancient route from Athens to Corinth which helped transform Corinth into one of antiquity's power players. The name Korinthos is derived from one of Zeus' sons, and was quickly attached to this strategic location early in Peloponnesian history. Corinthian bi-annual athletic games, called ...
Mycenae & Epidauros
Went early to Mycenae, 30 minute drive from Naphlios. On top of hill and made with lots of large stones called Cyclopean because even ancient tourists must have been awed by their size. Circular tombs and remnants of palaces. Small but good museum. Swarms arrived in time for us to leave. Then to Epidauros after getting lost and almost nailed by a Greek driver. Theater is largest in ancient world. Perfect ...

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
High altitude (over 3,000 feet) has less air pressure and drier air. These conditions affect baked goods. The lower air pressure allows the gases created by the leavening agent to expand more quickly and causes liquids to evaporate and boil at lower temperatures. The drier air also dries out the flour.
For cakes, this means that there might be excessive rising from the gases produced by the leavening. This could cause the texture to be coarse or the cake to call before the structure is set by baking. Faster evaporation of the liquid, due to lower boiling point, would reduce the amount of liquid and increase the concentration of sugar. This higher sugar concentration may also weaken the structure of the cake.
Some measures to take for butter cakes are to increase the oven temperature 15° to 25°, which allows cakes to set faster and prevent falling. Fill baking pans half full not two-thirds full, since cakes rise higher. Reduce the leavener and the sugar and increase the liquid. Here are some general guidelines for adjusting ingredients for butter cakes.
For foam cakes, only beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. To strengthen the structure of the cake, decrease the amount of sugar by a tablespoon of two and increase the amount of flour or egg component of the cake a little. Increasing the oven temperature by 15° to 25° will also help set the cake structure sooner.
Measure ingredients accurately, using the measuring tools and techniques suggested.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Region: Southeast
Topic: Wildflowers
Title: Bluebonnet trip planning from Searcy AR
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We are planning a Spring Bluebonnet trip to east, central and south Texas. Is there an average timetable for Blubonnet blooming in the areas of San Antonio, Hill Country, Austin and east, and Northeast Texas. With the lack of rains in the area I am sure the averages may be different, but any information will help us plan our trip.
This is a very popular question. Please read this previous Smarty Plants question from somone planning a trip from Colorado, which will save us some retyping. Then look at this USDA Plant Profile map showing you the counties in Texas where Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) normally grow. There are some in North Texas, a few in the Big Bend area, several East Texas counties that have them, but you can see that the bulk of the counties are in a cluster that basically contitutes Central Texas and South Texas.
In Austin, of course, you can visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Follow some of the links on that site to find out what is blooming and when. You will see much more than bluebonnets there, and learn about the many programs and projects we have to preserve the environment with its natural beauty. From Austin you can go west to Fredericksburg, and east to Brenham. Or, coming from Arkansas, you can begin in Sherman-Denison, in Grayson County, work your way down through McLennan County, then to Travis County, where Austin is and then follow the directions above, or go on south to Webb or Hidalgo Counties. Can we guarantee dates and abundance of blooming for any of those places? No. The generally issued forecast is about six weeks of bloom from early March to mid-April. They will begin blooming earliest in South Texas and then proceed northward until they hit the Texas border with Oklahoma.
But, wherever you go, don't just look at bluebonnets. Texas in Spring is a marvel of color and variety, all over.

I read with interest the recent articles about improvements and expansion at the Chattanooga Regional Airport and the push to get more people to use our regional airport. I am a big supporter of the airport and will always make every attempt to fly out of Chattanooga, rather than Atlanta or Nashville whenever possible.
One thing missing from any of the discussions was a possible rail link from the airport to downtown or possibly to other municipal areas. This would be a major boon to travelers, the airport and for the city also.
If you travel around the U.S.A. or Europe, most airports are served by a passenger rail link from the airport. Wouldn't it be nice if visitors or business people to our city could fly into our airport and then catch a rail link to the Chattanooga Choo Choo downtown, or possibly the Chattanoogan, like you can in other cities? Or take a rail link from outlying areas or other cities to fly out of our airport?
I don't know if we will ever have high speed rail linking us to Atlanta or other metro areas in my lifetime, but in the meantime, what about regional rail? It could connect to those hubs that Amtrak serves, like Memphis, Atlanta and Birmingham. Surely with all of the tracks running through and around Chattanooga, a deal could be worked out with the freight companies to share the tracks. Even commuters could use regional rail in lieu of clogging the ridge cut everyday at rush hour.
It just seems a shame that the Choo Choo city no longer has any choo choos at all.

Before we jump on the rail bandwagon please provide an example where passenger rail is economically viable in the United States. AMTRAK runs at a loss every year. Subway systems around the country rely on city subsidies to continue operating. If rail can operate without putting an extra burden on the taxpayers then great. But all the examples I can think of in the United States show rail cost the taxpayers a lot to maintain and continue operation and in most cases passenger rail only provides novelty transportation to tourist or to a few people who live near the rail terminals.
If there is a rail system that operates independently of subsidies from any government entity in the United States please provide the example and develop a plan from that system. What Chattanooga does not need is another drain to pour money down and that is what passenger rail is in most areas of the United States.
Please do not compare U.S. transportation needs to European transportation needs. If you drive the distance from Knoxville to Memphis in Europe (unless you are in Spain of Portugal) you will pass through five different countries. The distances involved in travel in the U.S. versus Europe are vastly different. And passenger rail works when it is over short distances with large dependent populations.
Wesley Garner
Cowan, Tn.
Former Chattanooga resident
Once again, what is known as the 'happy medium' would be the mantra to follow in regards to a comprehensive transportation plan for Chattanooga which includes regional rate.
First and foremost, this discussion is already taking place through the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency with a program entitled 2040 Regional Transportation Plan.
As an invited attendee for the second rounds of meetings post public forums, the discussion was thorough, comprehensive, and brought never before mentioned foresight of what Chattanooga will be like without major changes, repairs and additions to the current infrastructure. My personal opinion from what I gathered in the meeting was that the status quo cannot go on without major repercussions.
Although I am an advocate for the use of rail (heavy or light) in the city historically known for trains, I have to agree with Mr. Garner that a true regional system would be cost prohibitive, maintenance intensive, and if we are honest with ourselves, Americans are too in love with the automobile.
Now, let me offer an idea that involves taking an integral part of Chattanooga history and reinventing itself for our modern use...
Chattanooga once hosted nearly 300 miles of streetcar lines which sped the masses to locations as distant as the top of Signal Mountain, the crest of Missionary Ridge, and event to Chickamauga Battlefield. The one and only reason streetcars are not currently utilized in lieu of the current electric shuttles is the simple fact no one truly knew the extent of how downtown would be redeveloped in the early 1990s, so the route needed to have the ability to be changed with relative ease. This is no longer the case. We need to look toward a mode of transport in which the people of Chattanooga will be just as likely to utilize as a genuine mode of transport, yet will appeal in an even greater way to the millions of visitors to our city.
This is one bandwagon whose time has come. We need to join the ranks of cities like Tampa, Charlotte and even New Orleans who within the last 10 years reopened Canal Street to streetcar service once again.
Sometimes, history repeating itself can be a wonderful change.

Chattanooga needs a regional rail from the airport to downtown about as bad as Michael Vick needs a new puppy. Now the rail from Chattanooga to the Atlanta airport is a different story. You have a better chance of winning the lottery and being struck by lightning in the same day than you do flying to/from Atlanta through Chattanooga and making it on time without delay due to "maintenance."
Ross Andar
Justin Strickland, you have just hit the nail on the head (or should I say the spike). In the changeover from streetcars to busses, part of the property retained by CARTA's predecessors and now CARTA include the original rights of way for the streetcar lines. Therefore, the lines could be reinstituted without the expense or necessity of land acquisition. Historically lines ran east and south of downtown as well as to Rossville and Chickamauga. As shown in Charlotte, new lines promote growth and development in about a five block corridor to each line. What a great prescription for revitalization, renewal and growth of the historic trolley neighborhoods in Chattanooga, as well as the city in general.

Regional rail for Chattanooga and then comparing it to Charlotte, N.C.? Seriously?
First, light rail to an airport with no major airline service? Try getting into or out of Chattanooga in any kind of bad weather.
Let's just briefly compare Chattanooga with Charlotte, NC.

Chattanooga - A great place to live. But let's fix the combined stormwater/sewer system downtown ($250 mil TDEC consent decree), the gang/drug/crime problem, the deteriorating street system, and infrastructure issues caused by our growth and economic upturn among other issues facing the city before we embark on light rail, trolleys and the such.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Watch what you say
Devices are starting to talk back
I have some alarming news for rapidly aging people such as myself who are starting to see their brains leaking out of their ears.
I am talking about the news electronics giant Samsung has just unveiled its so-called "smartwatch," the Galaxy Gear, a $299 high-tech marvel that is essentially a wearable computer that can take and make phone calls, capture photos and videos and, if you're tired after a long day at work, take your dog for a walk.
OK, I made up that last one. And with Samsung's smartwatch hitting the market, it shouldn't be long before Apple launches its long-anticipated iWatch.
Q: Isn't this wonderful news that will make our world a better place in which to live?
A: No, it is terrible news. Seriously, the last thing we modern consumers needed was another (bad word) gadget or appliance that is far more intelligent than we are.
I am not kidding about this. I mean, not only are the appliances and gadgets we already own smarter than the average consumer, they also have incredibly snooty attitudes. They are even more difficult to live with than teenagers, if you can imagine.
As most homeowners are aware, modern appliances are equipped with computer chips that let them interact with one another over the Internet. In our home, for example, the smartest appliance is probably the fridge, which is able to communicate digitally with the rest of our appliances and can detect when we are running low on the staples our family needs to survive, such as Greek yogurt, chocolate milk and ranch dip.
I personally do not like the fridge, because it is always trying to impress me with its Harvard education.
Me: "Would you mind unlocking your door?"
The fridge: "Why? What do you want now?"
Me: "I wouldn't mind a cold beer, actually."
The fridge: "Let me just check my data bank. Hmmm... it seems you just had a beer 25 minutes ago."
Me: "Yes, and now I'd like another one."
The fridge: "Do you have any idea what time it is?"
Me: "No, I can't figure out how to use my new smartwatch."
The fridge: "Typical. You know, the toaster and I are starting to get a little worried about you."
Me: "?"
The fridge: "Here's an idea: Why don't you get a drink from the water cooler? He says you've been ignoring him lately."
Me: "How about that cold beer?"
The fridge: "Tell you what, come talk to me after you've spent 45 minutes on the treadmill. You'll find him crying in a corner in the basement."
Our new big-screen TV is even more annoying than the fridge. It came equipped with approximately eight remote-control devices and I typically have to hammer away at them for about an hour before I can find the button that turns it on.
Even then, we can never agree on what I should be watching.
The TV (in a thick British accent): "Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing?"
Me: "Um, I was going to relax on the couch and enjoy a couple of shows."
The TV: "If you think I'm going to let you watch another episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, you are sadly mistaken."
Me: "How about a little football?"
The TV: "Sorry, way too violent. Here's a nice documentary on the mating habits of the Madagascar hissing cockroach."
And now, with the advent of the smartwatch, we can't even escape our overbearing gadgets when we leave the house. Wearing a smartwatch will be like wearing your company's geeky computer guy strapped to your wrist.
Me: "What time is it?"
My smartwatch: "Have you read my owner's manual yet?"
Me: "No, I've been a little busy."
My swartwatch: "Fine, then I'm too busy to tell you what time it is."
Me: "I don't want to be late."
My smartwatch: "Hah! The microwave says you're never on time for anything."
Me: "#$*$@! I need a beer!"
My smartwatch: "Good luck with that. The fridge is my cousin."
