The black section of Fort Worth's LaGrave Field overflowed with spectators on this most special first Saturday of April 1948.The exhibition game, the Star-Telegram wrote, between the Brooklyn Dodgers and their minor-league affiliate, the Fort Worth Cats, "was also a carnival for the city's Negro population, which turned out to cheer the Dodgers' Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella."In reality, of course, the game was the celebration of a liberation of sorts for the city's black community, which boasted its own proud baseball past. This was recognition that despite how they were treated and made to feel, blacks were equal -- and in some cases better -- players of the national pastime.No federal mandate was required.The proof of equality was in performance, and no one had to go any further to understand that than to the fields of the Negro leagues, including LaGrave, where black baseball teams had been playing in the Negro Texas League and the Negro Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana League a generation before.Much of the story of Bob Bailey, Johnson Hill ("Fort Worth's premier third sacker") and pitchers Johnnie "Steel Arm" Harris and Bill Haines, among many others who played in anonymity, has been lost.The Fort Worth Black Panthers of the 1920s and the Black Cats of the early '30s certainly played with hopes of being the next Smokey Joe Williams, a pitcher for the San Antonio Black Bronchos who was signed on the spot by Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants of the Negro National League.Mostly, they played because they loved the game and their communities."To be on the Fort Worth team, the Dallas team, was a big deal," said Rob Fink, a professor of educational studies at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene and author of Playing in Shadows: Texas and Negro League Baseball."For a lot of people that was making the 'Show,' for lack of a better word. For the community, the local team was the center of the action."All their ownThe 1920 Fort Worth Black Panthers of the Negro Texas League were owned and managed by Hiram McGar, a fixture in Fort Worth's black community.He had owned a saloon at 109 E. 10th Street before it burned in 1912 during one of the city's ugliest episodes. A shooting rampage that started in his establishment over losses in a craps game left two dead, including police officer John Ogletree, and five others wounded.A white mob retaliated by marching through the black community, flames in hand.By 1920, with Prohibition on the way and under pressure from the police chief to shut down establishments such as his, McGar switched to soft drinks and built Citizens Drug Store on the property of his saloon.The idea of a black baseball minor league in Texas wasn't new. The Texas Colored League, established in 1916, was a short-lived venture featuring teams in Fort Worth, Beaumont, Cleburne, Dallas, Galveston, Houston, San Antonio and Waco. The Fort Worth team played at McGar's Park, near Panther Park.With the emergence of Foster's Negro National League, McGar wanted to give it another chance."In the '20s, there's sort of a national movement that says, 'If we're going to be denied access to white communities, we're just going to create our own,'" Fink said.A deal cut with the white Texas League allowed the black teams to use that league's stadiums when their white counterparts were playing on the road. The Negro Texas League debuted with teams in Fort Worth, Dallas, Beaumont, Houston, Waco and Wichita Falls."Most of the games were Sunday and/or Monday because the white team got preference," said Fink, noting that the preference went so far that the Dallas Black Giants had their city-owned stadium taken away from them when the white stadium flooded.The season, though, turned out to be a special one for the Black Panthers, according to the Fort Worth Record. And good ball was the hallmark.Innovations were common throughout the Negro Leagues, Fink said.Babe Ruth had made the majors a home run league. Get a man on first and swing for the fences.The Negro Leagues played fast and what today is called "small ball." Scoring without getting a ball out of the infield was common practice.The bunt-and-run became strategic. A leadoff guy reaches on a bunt, the guy behind him bunts, forcing the shortstop to cover second, the second baseman to cover first and the corners rushing the bunted ball. The leadoff runner could then advance to the uncovered third base.If the third baseman stays back, there are runners on first and second with no outs."It was all strategy and moving pieces and kind of a chess-board element," Fink said.The games recorded in the Record reflect this type of game. Most, such as the Black Panthers' 2-1 18-inning victory over Beaumont on May 1, were low-scoring affairs. Fort Worth, whose pitcher, "Rector" (no first name listed), had 14 strikeouts and one walk, and scored one run each in the first and 18th innings. Beaumont tied the game in the sixth.Fort Worth won the inaugural season after defeating Dallas, "the village down the creek."The first season, according to the Record, was a money-maker, with the Fort Worth team generally playing in front of capacity crowds."The negro league games are not only good shows from a baseball standpoint, but they also present an element of comedy that keeps the crowd in an uproar," read the Record."Special reservations are always made for white patrons."ShowtimeOne of the great traditions of black baseball in America was barnstorming, or traveling teams made up of black players who wanted to play but had nowhere to do so. There was no organized league, so they picked up and found their way to the nearest town for a game with guys who had a team there. And then they moved on to the next.The Fort Worth Wonders were just such a team that played in the early 1900s.The teams would pass a plate and patrons would tip for the performance. Teams of the Negro Texas League of the 1920s and the Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana League of the 1930s did this as well.The Black Panthers might have a league game in Houston. So on the way down there, they would stop in Corsicana, perhaps, one night for an exhibition and another in Huntsville to make a little extra money, Fink said.Comedic routines in the spirit of the Harlem Globetrotters and "Shadow Ball" were fan favorites.Shadow Ball was a sort of pantomime that players would perform as part of a warm-up.The pitcher would act as if he was hurling a ball toward the plate and the batter would act as if he were hitting every pitch. The fielders would field virtual balls and go through a number of possible base combinations, including double plays."They were so fluid and used to doing it so quickly, fans wouldn't know if they were doing shadow ball or the real thing," Fink said. "It looked like a real game."The "big-league" Negro professional teams worked in the fun stuff, too, while touring, Fink said.Satchel Paige was famous for his showmanship during the actual exhibition game, including intentionally loading the bases, then telling his team of fielders to go sit down. He'd then strike out the side.High PocketsEmancipation Day of 1920 -- more commonly referred to as Juneteenth these days -- featured the Black Panthers as host to the San Antonio Black Bronchos and their star first baseman, High Pockets.The "phenomenal work" of High Pockets, according to the Record, had "attracted a string of followers," white and black alike.If High Pockets had a conventional name like, perhaps, "John" and "Smith," history is left to guess."That's one of the things that's difficult doing research on teams, especially ones like in Fort Worth and Dallas," Fink said. "In the paper they would refer to them, like, High Pockets."The Record reveals a Fort Worth outfielder named Big Red. In an account of the Black Panthers' 17-1 victory on Aug. 3, 1920, "Big Red, local outfielder, had a long triple to the deepest corner of the lot."Big Red even had a nickname. He was known as the "Black Bambino." Another, Fink said, was Black Tank of the San Antonio team."We don't know what his name is," Fink said. "But everybody in 1923 knew who Black Tank was."And everybody in these parts also knew who High Pockets was, apparently. He was a 6-foot-10 first baseman whose chatter kept the crowd "in fits of laughter."He could play, too."A home run by High Pockets... with a man on base was one of the deciding factors in a 4-1 victory over the Black Panthers."The Negro Texas League continued into the late 1920s. When it became defunct, its replacement, the Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana League, went out of business in 1931, a victim of the Depression.Texas, Fink said, was one of the few states that did a decent job of integrating New Deal programs. For example, there were all-black companies of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which had baseball teams.Games at Stop Six Park are mentioned more than a few times in newspaper accounts."What happens is people want jobs," Fink said. "You see softball and baseball games between the two camps start to be the prevalent games."Major League Baseball's crowning achievement is the significant role it ultimately played in advancing equal rights for all.The Negro Leagues in Texas had served its purpose in giving dignity by proving all the myths wrong."You can see that community pride with a group who is discriminated against," Fink said."One of the things for the community of sports is it allows them to say, 'No, look we've got pitchers who throw over 100 mph, too. We have better players than you.' So it's a big deal."Jackie Robinson went 1 for 4 in a 5-3 Dodgers victory that April day in 1948. Few people remembered the minor scrape between Pee Wee Reese and Cats first baseman Dee Fondy.There were more important things to keep in mind, namely, there was no longer a place for minor league baseball for black players in Texas.And that was OK.
Texas connections
Nine Texans who played in the Negro Leagues are in the Baseball Hall of Fame:
Ernie Banks: Mr. Cub got his start as a teenager with his hometown Dallas Black Giants before two seasons with the Kansas City Monarchs, sandwiched between two years (1951-52) in the U.S. Army.
Andy Cooper: This Waco kid made his mark as a pitcher for the Detroit Stars and Kansas City Monarchs, whom he led to the 1929 pennant and to three others from 1937-40 as player-manager. Pitched 17 innings against the Chicago American Giants in a 1937 playoff game.
Rube Foster: The one-time player and manager made his mark as the founder of the Negro National League in 1920. He is also credited with fostering the aggressive, fast style of the Negro Leagues. As a pitcher long before that, the Calvert-born Texan won 44 consecutive games with the Cuban Giants in 1902.
Willie Foster: The half-brother of Rube Foster, Willie led Chicago to the Negro World Series in 1926 and again in 1927, when he went 18-3. Pitched a complete-game victory in the inaugural East-West All-Star Game in 1933. Lost the next year, a 1-0 decision to Satchel Paige.
Biz Mackey: The catcher from Eagle Pass played from 1918-47 and was voted in one poll the best catcher among all Negro League players. He also mentored teenager and future Hall of Famer Roy Campanella while with the Baltimore Elite Giants.
Louis Santop: "Top" of Tyler town gained famed as a left-handed slugger and catcher for the Hilldale Club of Philadelphia, considered one of the best Negro League teams of all time with three consecutive Eastern Colored League championships from 1923-25.
Hilton Smith: The Giddings native won 20 games in each of his 12 seasons with the Kansas City Monarchs, went 93-11 from 1939-42 and played on seven pennant-winning Kansas City Monarch teams. His best pitch? Advising team management to sign Jackie Robinson.
Willie Wells: From Austin, he is considered one of the best defensive shortstops of all time and certainly one of the first to have power at that position. He had 27 home runs in 1926 for the St. Louis Stars. He is also thought to be the first player to wear a batting helmet, making one out of a hard hat, after a string of beanings.
Smokey Joe Williams: The Seguin native's stint with San Antonio's Negro Texas League franchise was short-lived when Rube Foster signed him on the spot to play for the Chicago American Giants. Williams, whom Ty Cobb said would have been a sure 30-game winner if he'd been allowed in the majors, defeated five Hall of Fame pitchers in exhibition games.

Remember that second-grade science project when you watched bean plants grow toward a light source? Little did you know, you were researching heliotropism. Tropism in plants is turning toward or away from a stimulus such as sunlight, gravity, or water. And now there's a new tropism to investigate, although not for second graders.
It's hard to imagine a scientific conference without poster presentations. There would be tumbleweeds rolling through the exhibit hall, company reps would be asleep in their booths, and grad student and postdocs would be hung-over every morning of the meeting.
It's been nearly a year since an insurgent group of scientists and journal editors gathered in San Francisco at the ASCB Annual Meeting to plot a counterattack on the outsized influence of "impact factor" on scientific assessment. A metric invented in the 1960s by Eugene Garfield to help academic librarians subscribe to influential journals, the journal impact factor had become a misleading measure, the insurgents agreed. In June, they issued the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), asking the world science community to sign on, endorsing 18 recommendations for new standards of research assessment that would move away from journal-based metrics to individual assessment. The number of DORA signatories is now approaching 10,000. Evidently, scientists are ready for something better than the impact factor, but what?
It was in San Diego and nearly 40 years ago but Randy Schekman still vividly remembers his first ASCB Annual Meeting. George Palade, fresh from Stockholm where he had just received his 1974 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was there to speak about the innovations in electron microscopy and cell fractionation that earned him the prize. Schekman has no better word for the experience than "thrilling."
If you've just spent five years at the bench in graduate school and are looking for another way to use your science doctorate, you will be relieved to know that a patent agent doesn't need to add a JD to the PhD. Instead, a patent agent has to pass a separate patent bar exam to become registered, and a formal law school degree is not a prerequisite.

On a brisk and sunny New England fall Saturday, hackers filed along the Cambridge sidewalks, skirting the venerable Harvard Museum of Natural History to descend the starkly modern concrete stairs of the university's five-year-old Northwest Science Building. Down the steps they went, under the suspended whale skeletons and into a basement with natural light pouring in from the windows mounted in the lawn above. There on modular red sofas and often on the floor, the hardiest spent the next 30 hours immersed in Science Hack Day Boston, an experiment in combining science, skill, and playfulness that was sponsored in part by ASCB.
There's only one place this weekend where you could crochet proteins, make a laser phonograph, crowd source a science fraud detector, and build a machine that sorts candy by color (a flow confectionometer?). Anyone with an interest in science and a playful streak can sign up to join a two day "science hacker" community in Boston this weekend at Harvard Northwest Building for free (thanks to sponsors like the ASCB), contributing to projects or coming up with their own.
Like a kid hovering over an ant with a magnifying glass, you can easily fry a worm with a microscope. But if you could do it without zapping the subjects, long exposure imaging would be immensely helpful for studying a cell process like development in a living Caenorhabditis elegans embryo. In a pair of just published papers—one in Nature Biotechnology yesterday and another in Nature Methods on October 6—Hari Shroff, tenure-track investigator at the NIH, unveiled a pair of new microscopes that offer an alternative solution to the problem of light-blasted subjects.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com writer: Cardinals will make playoffs in 2013
Hooray optimism!
According to NFL.com writer Adam Schein, the Arizona Cardinals will make the playoffs in 2013.
Glad that's all settled.
Schein writes that he was tasked with coming up with a team that missed the playoffs in 2012 that will make it in 2013, and when he looked at everything, Arizona was the choice.
This is not a piece for shock value. I honestly, truly, deeply believe the Cardinals are going to be the surprise team of the year with the right tweaks along the way. Sit back. I'm about to sell you.
They have the right people running the show.
They now employ the 2012 NFL Coach of the Year.
And yes, they have a great defense.
Schein believes that Bruce Arians, who the Cardinals hired to replace Ken Whisenhunt, was the best coach available in the offseason. Writing the team "won the coaching carousel", Schein says he believes Arians and assistant coach Tom Moore will be able to maximize the offensive talent on the roster, and specifically Kevin Kolb's.
Look, there's work to do on Kolb's mentality and play, but Arians and Moore will do it. And there is a building point here. Before Kolb got hurt in Week 6 last year, the Cardinals were 4-1. He rocked steady against the Philadelphia Eagles in a win. He was clutch against the Miami Dolphins. Kevin Kolb beat the New England Patriots.
True that.
Of course, Schein notes the Cardinals will likely add another quarterback, but looks at Arizona as a squad with a good defense that just added the right coach at the right time.
And, he says, they should have better injury luck this next season.
Every team has injuries, but Arizona had 17 offensive players combine to miss a whopping 103 games, with nine guys hitting injured reserve. Levi Brown didn't play a game. Home run threat Ryan Williams missed 11. Beanie Wells was out for seven. And Kolb, of course, missed 10, forcing John Skelton and Ryan Lindley into way too much action.
Anything that could've gone wrong went wrong for Ken Whisenhunt's team last year. That won't happen again in 2013.
But whatever happens, Schein believes the Cardinals will be better simply because they have better coaches in place.
As one playoff executive said to me, "For an offense that was inept last year, they actually aren't far away. Moore and Arians will help the QB (Kolb). They need to add a running back and solidify the line. Steve knows what he has to do there. The only piece to add on defense maybe is an edge rusher. The defense is loaded. Russ Grimm held that team back. He was a poor offensive line coach. The kids (on the offensive line) who struggled gained experience and the new staff will help."
Perhaps Schein is correct and the Cardinals will be back in the postseason in Arians' first year at the helm. It will not be easy, as the team does have issues to correct, but maybe the new coaching staff will be the catalyst for the improvements.
Then again, the Cardinals are in the same division as Super Bowl runner-up San Francisco and playoff team Seattle, so the road won't exactly be easy.
Apparently none of that matters to the writer. That's cool.

I put in the links on my site to both - pages 'A Life Method' and 'Thankyou' respectively.
After you pay through the ClickBank website it should send you to your Thankyou page - but instead, goes to the homepage.

Step 1 Place the baking rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish (11 by 7 by 1 1/2 inches), or spray generously with cooking spray.
Step 3 Cut the apples into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a large bowl, mix together apples, lemon juice and cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 4 Melt the 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a 10– to 12–inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the apple mixture using a wooden or heat-resistant spatula and cook over same medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the apples are softened and begin to turn golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the walnuts or dried fruit and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Step 5 While the caramelized apple mixture is cooling, toast the bread on a baking sheet in the oven until crisp and the edges are just starting to color, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside on baking rack.
Step 6 Once the caramelized apple mixture is slightly cooled, gently and evenly spread half into the buttered baking dish. Add the toasted bread to the remaining apples in the bowl and stir to combine; then spoon the mixture into the baking dish.
Step 7 In a medium bowl combine the eggs, egg yolks, milk, remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg and whisk until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Then pour evenly over the apple and bread mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes until the bread has absorbed the liquid.
Step 8 Bake until puffed and browned on the top and the custard is set, about 45 to 55 minutes. Serve hot, warm or chilled.

This pretty much. I had to do some research, but Y2J also had a little feud with Sheamus last year lol... the reason I had to do the research was because I couldn't remember for the life of me whom he was feuding with, despite watching the matches. Goes to show how memorable it was.
That being said, it seems like Vince and HHH and other have forgotten the art of booking. Back in the day with someone like Austin and Bret Hart, the build up to the match was incredible because of Austin's promo's, I remember watching the match and it was brilliant, Austin really had the edge on Hart almost the whole time, despite the Hitman's legendary status. At the very end, the Hitman gets the pin on Austin by rolling him up, despite being in the million dollar dream, so in essence, Austin trying to win so hard cost him the match... brilliant stuff. Hart put Austin over, without even losing the match!
The difference is, with someone like Jericho, he cuts interesting promo's and the matches themselves are good, but the fact that he goes into them on a losing streak already and then loses those matches has left him with very little stock value.
Really though, a whole thread about who you wanna see Jericho lose to makes lose faith in the IWC. Whatever happened to watching a heated feud, one with an unpredictable ending? People really wanna watch this stuff just so they can see popular old guys job?

I am trying to create a website which has some pages limited to logged in users. I can make it work on my local machine but cannot work out how to point to a remote database.
I have created the remote SQL database using regsql, the command looks like this:
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regsql.exe -S "Server" -U UserName -P Password-A all -d database"
I guess this worked as when I look at my database I can see all the relevant tables, Users, Roles Membership etc.
I then click on Configure ASP.NET to use the administration tool. I tried to set up using Internet as the security option and this tells me to go onto the provider tab. I go to the Provider tab and all I can do is click on test which fails ans tells me to go to regsql which I have already done.
I have 2 connection strings on my web.config, one for the login details and one for a simple gridview which looks at the Users data.
The strings are:
add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source="mssql.aspnethosting.co.uk, 14330";Initial Catalog=elmirawe_Database;Integrated Security=SSPI;User Instance=true; User ID=name;Password=pword" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
add name="ConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source="mssql.aspnethosting.co.uk, 14330";Persist Security Info=True;User ID=name;Password=pword" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
ConnectionString1 works fine but the Application Services won't work with the Admin tool.
What have I missed out?? Any idea what I can do to fix it?

Gramercy/Flatiron restaurants for a birthday
My family is celebrating my mom's 60th birthday and want to go to a restaurant close to their hotel on 30th and madison... Looking for a festive place that is not too expensive (dad wants to spend around $40 per person). Are there any good French, Italian, American, etc restaurants in the area that would impress for the birthday?
thank you!
re: LeahBaila
Strong agreement here. As a former NYer I still go there whenever I'm in town. Excellent food, service and presentation. Service that's fun and efficient. Getting the bill is a pleasure considering the quality of the food and the level of care taken with their guests.
Two inexpensive suggestions:
Via Emilia and Basta Pasta. Both are good Italian (Via Emilia is Emilia-Romagna cuisine, Basta Pasta is Italian with some Japanese throwins) and on the cheap side. Via Emilia is a little dark/sleek/modern, and Basta Pasta is a bid brighter. You could eat and drink well for $40 a person at these.
re: Tubulus
I agree with these two suggestions and add a new place in the neighborhood - Bocca. Casual Italian, great pastas and shared starters. Same owners as Cacio e Pepe.
re: bdurrett
Haven't been to Cacio e Pepe, but if someone took me to Bocca for my birthday, I'd disown them as a friend.
Depending on what you order Artisanal could be perfect. A very festive French Bistro with great cheeses and yummy fondue. It is also close to their hotel ( which is more Murry Hill than Flatiron).
Giorgio's of Gramercy is a total stand by for us. They just repainted the walls -- so the atmosphere is a bit better too
Punch is very nice, with a varied menu that should appeal to everyone, and great atmosphere and service. May be a bit more than $40 a person, but so are the other suggestions so far. If you share some appetizers and do not drink a lot, it could work.
Park Avenue Bistro (fka Park Bistro) has re-opened in its new location on Park Av. S., b/t 26th & 27th Sts. The space has very attractive ambiance (contemporary decor instead of the previous Paris bistro-style), and the modern French cuisine is better than ever! Not sure if $40pp would do it, though. Probably closer to $50. But well worth it.
Happy Birthday to your mom and Bon Appetit!
re: RGR
Hi RGR,
So it appears you have been to Park Bistro since the re-opening. I must try to get there in the next few weeks, and it's great to hear about the food, but I am wondering if the menu has undergone changes. I can't find any menu information on the web. Also, was it busy? Can I reserve on short notice for prime times?
re: rrems
Hi rrems,
Yes, we have had dinner at Park Avenue Bistro. We had a 7:30 reservation on the Friday just before Christmas though we could have just walked in and easily gotten a table because it was not busy. However, since they've only been open a short time, word has probably not gotten around. Also, lots of people travel for the holidays and had probably already left town. As regards the menu, it's pretty much the same.
re: rrems
Just had dinner there tonight and loved it. The tables are still small but the chairs are really comfy, so unlike the ones at the old location. Love the high ceilings. A classier feeling and yes, the food is definitely better than ever. I think this is just about the best bistro in Manhattan. AND they still accept the IGT card so it's a 25% discount. Can't beat it. Oh, I should also mention that the service was absolutely perfect.
I second the vote for Park Avenue Bistro.
Artisinal would be a good one, but it has terrible service, and it's hard to insist people only order the cheese dishes. Unfortunately, there's nothing worthwhile aside from the cheese and desserts.
I often stay in that area of town and I always go to Campanile (29th between Madison and park avenue south). It is excellent and Italian. I brought my parents once when I went to NY with them and they adored it. The owner makes you feel welcome and the food is excellent.
I second Giorgio's of Gramercy. On the same trip, I brought my parents there and they loved it also.
Have a nice dinner!
re: cricri7
Totally agree, cricri7, that Campanile is a wonderful neighborhood "hidden gem" that serves very well-prepared, delicious traditional Italian cuisine. The owner and staff are welcoming and provide excellent service. There's an old-fashioned, warm feel about the place with nicely-spaced table and a conversation-friendly noise level.
re: RGR
Another vote for Campanile. RGR is absolutely correct, good food and nicely spaced table so that you can actually have pleasant conversation. I initially went at RGR's suggestion and will definitely plan on returning when in the neighborhood. Not sure if I posted after my meal, but anyway RGR thanks for the suggestion from my post a while back.
re: steakrules85
$40pp at BLT Prime?
Novita is very good Italian on 22nd near Park. Just went there for our office holiday party.
re: staaja01
You can't go wrong there. BTW, their rack of lamb is a fantastic helping and you really must get baked Alaska at the end of the meal; one of them will serve four people, very festive.
Personally I like Novita, but it is quite expensive. I live on 20th and 3rd, and pass several substantial restaurants to have my happy family functions at ALEO., I would call in advance and speak to the owner or Manager, I am sure they will do the right thing.

Food pantry in Chiloquin struggling to stay open
The sponsors of the food pantry in the Klamath County town Chiloquin say it's barely hanging on.
The Klamath Falls Herald and News reports the pantry distributes food monthly and serves 200 people, filling a large gap in the economically depressed community with a population estimated this year at 735.
Since a fire last year that caused $10,000 in damage, the pantry operation has moved from place to place before finding a place with a low rent.
But organizers say they're struggling financially, and the current location is too small to conduct rummage sales and dinners to raise money.
They say the last of the food distributions could be as soon as next month.

November 28, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A trade group for wireless providers says the country's biggest smartphone makers and carriers will soon put anti-theft tools on the devices to try to deter rampant theft.
CTIA-The Wireless Association announced Tuesday that under a "Smartphone Anti-Theft Voluntary Commitment," the providers agree to install a free preloaded or downloadable anti-theft tool on smartphones sold in the U.S. after July 2015.
The wireless industry has said putting a permanent "kill switch" on phones has serious risks, including potential vulnerability to hackers.
San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman have demanded that the wireless industry create kill switches. They say CTIA's plan still falls short of effectively ending smartphone theft because the measures will rely on consumers to seek out and turn on the technology.

Wondering just what was behind the JeffCo Commission's (or at least the majority's) unseemly rush to approve a lobbying contract with relative unknown Book*Hill Partners? The Birmingham News reported yesterday that Michael Choy, a partner at Haskell Slaughter, says the whole thing was cooked up by Bill Slaughter (the attorney who advised the county on many of its lousy financial dealings) and Commission President Bettye Fine Collins, with a little help from Commissioner William Bell.
"It was Bill Slaughter's idea," Michael Choy said in an interview Wednesday night. "He told Bettye that she should meet with them. But because she's white and Republican, she asked William (Bell) to set up a meeting with them."
…In December, Bell and Collins met at Bell's office in the courthouse with Al Rutherford and Eric Vaughn of Book Hill; lawyers Choy and Bob Kirpalani of Haskell Slaughter; Patrick Darby of Bradley, Arant law firm; and Jeff Sewell, the county attorney.
Rutherford said in an interview that during the meeting Collins asked Book Hill to put a plan in writing for the county to review — a plan that involved ways the county could secure a federal guarantee to help resolve its $3.2 billion sewer-debt crisis.
"I didn't know why I was called to the meeting," Choy said. "I told William when he got in office: 'I'm your friend and I'm your lawyer. I don't want to have anything to do with the county. I don't want to have any input. And I'm not going to influence you. I'm not involved. Don't call me unless you need a lawyer.' This was Slaughter and Bettye Fine Collins."
Collins, of course, claims to know nothing about any connections between Haskell Slaughter and Book*Hill (notice she mentions the firm but not Bill Slaughter, the individual), and Bell says he met Al Rutherford, a Book*Hill partner, purely by "accident" last summer at the Summit Club.
John Archibald continues to connect the dots here: the county commissioners are looking for a federal bailout — of the bankers who stand to lose if the county declares bankruptcy. Said bankers think they've found a clever dodge around President Obama's crackdown on lobbyists, in particular the ban on lobbyists for private businesses requesting bailout funds. See, if a municipality does it, it doesn't count. And the banks get their money, and we all live happily ever after. As John says, "Maybe they [Book*Hill] have juice in Washington, and maybe they don't. I just hope they are working in the interest of Jefferson County, and not just the banks that broke us."
There are still lots of questions surrounding this mess. For instance, why is a partner at Bill Slaughter's own firm hanging him out to dry in the press? That kind of distancing sound suspicious to me. Can the citizens of the county force a do-over of the lobby vote, with real discussion of the pros and cons? Bell has now jumped on the bandwagon with Jim Carns to support a resolution that would forbid any local firms or individuals from being paid through the lobbying contract – a good thing when most of the likely recipients have been shown to be corrupt or inept. And, most pressing, will I continue to be forced to agree with Jim Carns? Inquiring minds want to know.
Listen to Tanya Ott's interview with Jim Carns here.

And details now indicate the 8th grader could face a $500 fine and up to a year in jail for obstruction charges. Fox News reports that on June 13 Marcum appeared before a judge "and was officially charged with obstructing an officer." Moreover, the judge has allowed "the prosecution to move forward" with its case against Marcum. Logan City Police officer James Adkins says that Marcum refused to quit talking when asked to remove the shirt. The officer said this hindered his ability to do his job. Marcum's father remains confident and stands by his son: "Me, I'm more of a fighter and so is Jared and eventually we're going to get through this. I don't think it should have ever gone this far." Marcum has to appear in court again on July 11 if his attorney can't get the charges dismissed before then. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins Photo credit: ABC WKEF-22

New on Shelf: SPF 50+ Sunscreens
Last week we reported the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia confirmed the news we'd been waiting for: new, SPF 50+ sunscreen standards have taken legislative effect. It's great news for us sun-loving Aussies, and finally puts us at the same standard as Europe. More than a few brands have since released their 50+ sunscreen offerings, so we thought we'd pop them into a handy gallery for you. You should ideally be wearing sunscreen under your makeup (it goes on clean skin before your moisturiser and makeup), or at the very least, your makeup should have SPF included. We prefer to do the former. So, here's to even younger looking skin...

Kerri Walsh may be part of that elite group of athletes who've won a gold medal at the Olympics -- but when it comes to her crushes, she's just like every other woman of her generation. The athlete admits that her not-so-secret celebrity love is Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Hasn't changed," the beach volleyball champion told E! News without a moment's hesitation. "He's my guy!"
The California girl is about to compete in her fourth consecutive summer Olympic Games. Walsh and her partner Misty May-Treanor were no. 1 at the 2004 and 2008 Games and are hoping for one more gold medal.
In an interview with former Olympian Bruce Jenner, Walsh also revealed the Keeping up with the Kardashians is her favorite reality show: "Simple!" she explained.
As for her success at beach volleyball, Walsh, 33, attributes it to the fact that you can pick your own partner to compete with as a team.
"I could be the best and the world, you could be the best in the world, but without chemistry, it's not going to work out," Walsh said. "Misty and I have been together since 2001. We're staying together. She's my girl!"

After a couple years of doom and gloom, things seem to be looking up.
At last week's Emmys, Julia Louis-Dreyfus jokingly announced that this was the "last official year" for broadcast TV.
The line got lots of chuckles among the industryites gathered in the Nokia Theater. But the networks might be getting the last laugh this fall.
While it's still very early to be making any iron-clad assumptions about the new season, after a couple of years of doom and gloom, things seem to be looking up for broadcasters. Several new shows are off to promising starts, while a number of returning shows are demonstrating surprising strength.
"Despite Julia's prognostications, I think broadcast TV has a few more years left in it," said Preston Beckman, Fox's longtime scheduling guru. "Overall, and not just for Fox, it's been an encouraging start to what's going to be a very long season.
"Every year you think, 'This is it. It's over,'" Beckman joked. "But I think for all kinds of reasons, there's a lot to feel good about."
Indeed, on Thursday, ABC managed to draw the best numbers in two years for an 8 p.m. premiere with its launch of "FlashForward." The strong bow came a night after the network defied doomsday predictions for new comedies "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town," both of which roared out of the gate and put to rest the idea that viewers aren't willing to sample new sitcoms.
Over at CBS, just about everything else the network is doing is working in a big way. Fox is on track to have its best fall in years (and maybe ever).
Even the little CW, which had the first cancellation of the year in "The Beautiful Life: TBL," has reason to smile. Newcomer "The Vampire Diaries" is building audience and buzz and appears headed for Hitsville.
"People are always anxious to to write off network TV," said Kelly Kahl, senior executive VP at CBS. "It's nice to disprove that. "
Things are a bit tougher for NBC. After a solid bow, comedy hope "Community" took a tumble in week two, and the network ranked third or fourth in most time slots last week. But Jay Leno has met or exceeded expectations at 10 p.m., and while it's too soon to judge the show's ultimate level of success, so far, there's been no cratering — and that's a good thing.
Another hopeful sign for the networks: Media buzz has been great for this year's crop of newcomers. While plenty of shows have been trashed, critics are getting behind several freshman in a big way.
"Every network can look to at least one show they've premiered and feel like they've added to their arsenal," Beckman said. "Three weeks from now, we may be writing some obits, but my gut is that there are a couple of shows that could be hanging around."
Keeping in mind that one week of numbers do not a season make — if so, "The Fugitive" might still be on CBS — here's an early look at how each network is faring.
The early part of the week is shaping up very strongly for the Eye, which overall roared into the 2009-10 season.
"We're dominant or at the very least competitive in every time period across the week," said Kelly Kahl, senior executive VP at CBS.
That's not spin.
Tuesday's "NCIS"-"NCIS: LA" duo stunned with its monster numbers. "NCIS" could end up the No. 1 show of the week in viewers. On the same night, newcomer "The Good Wife" disappointed a bit, but only because of sky-high expectations around town; relative to how CBS has done in the time period recently, the show is off to a good starts.
Also bringing autumnal tidings of comfort and joy at CBS: Monday's comedy block, which just got stronger with the move of "Big Bang Theory" to 9:30 p.m. and "How I Met Your Mother" to 8. Who's down with "BBT"? Every last homie under 50, it would appear.
While many predict there'll be a big drop week two for new half-hour "Accidentally on Purpose," it bowed to decent numbers. And on Wednesday, "Criminal Minds" remains a powerful anchor.
Problem spot for the Eye: "CSI" in the post-Billy Petersen era is clearly no longer a juggernaut. Aging shows are expected to decline, but networks prefer a soft landing– and a 40 percent decline year-to-year falls under the "crash landing" category.
Kahl, however, disagrees, saying "CSI" had "a very respectable opening." And don't count out CBS's ability to bring back viewers with stunts and events (and maybe a return visit from Petersen by season's end?)
If Alphabet execs' lives had been made into a movie early last week, it might've been called "Waiting to Exhale." The network made some of the gutsiest scheduling moves of the season, and it wasn't until Friday morning that ABC brass could relax a little.
Big drama hope "FlashForward" debuted nicely on Thursday, with the best 8 p.m. drama premiere ratings in two years. On Wednesday, new comedies "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town" also launched impressively, adding further tentative evidence that the sitcom drought that's plagued networks for years may be over.
And even new drama "Eastwick," not exactly a promo priority for ABC this summer, debuted with respectable Nielsen numbers.
"We had shows that not only we loved, but that critics loved, and we put heavy marketing behind them," said Jeff Bader, ABC Entertainment Group's executive VP of scheduling, planning and distribution. "It all sort of came together."
ABC's strategy of airing three nights of "Dancing with the Stars" during premiere week also worked well, even though the show was down from last year.
"It's a smart way to jumpstart the audience for us," Bader said.
It took a while, but Beckman and his Fox colleagues seemed to have finally figured out how not to spend the fourth quarter hiding in shame. One key: Having strong returning shows.
Monday's massive numbers for the "House" premiere, for example, proved gravity is not a given when it comes to ratings for veteran series. Fox also has established itself as a player on Thursday with "Bones." "Fringe," opposite much more brutal competition, is finding it harder to draw a crowd.
Some industry pundits wondered if the much-hyped "Glee" might end up one of the new season's first casualties. Surprise: It was the first new show of the year to get a full season order.
Beckman thinks one reason Fox and the other networks seem to be off to a decent start this fall is because they've finally shaken off many of the negative effects of the writers' strike.
"This is the first year in two seasons we're back to more traditional launches to the season," he said.
Possible sore spots on the Fox lineup: Friday's combo of "Dollhouse," "Brothers" and (starting this week) "Til Death." The first two shows were dead on arrival last week,
Everything without a script seems to be doing well on the Peacock this fall. NFL football is on fire, "The Biggest Loser" remains a big winner, and Jay Leno? Well, he's given NBC stability at 10 p.m., though it's too soon to say where his show will end up once things settle down.
Scripted series aren't doing as well.
On the positive side, "The Office" is still a Thursday hit. And "Community" got big sampling two weeks ago (but slid once ABC and CBS got into the game).
But once-mighty "Heroes," though retaining a solid core, has no oomph left. The "Law & Order" franchise marked its 20th year last week with poor performances on Wednesday and Friday ("SVU" took a notable hit). And new nurse drama "Mercy" didn't pop in its premiere (though it didn't completely tank, either.)
NBC scheduling head honcho Mitch Metcalf says: Let's wait and see.
"'Mercy' premiered and I think that show is going to be a very steady performer in the time period," he said. "And 'SVU' is a number that I think is going to come back. Viewers are going to find it on its new night, slowly."
He also notes NBC started its season a week early. "We came out guns blazing in week one," he said. "Week three and four, let's see where everything settles.:
The good: "The Vampire Diaries" is a hit. Full season pickup just a formality at this point.
The bad: "Melrose Place," despite high hopes (and good episodes), is going to take some time to build an audience after a lackluster ratings start.
The ugly: "The Beautiful Life: TBL" proves what happens when networks assume that, in 2009, viewers of one show (in this case, "Top Model") will tune in a series engineered to be a companion.

Out of Valdosta Georgia, corner back Joshua Norwood selected Ohio State for his college. A three star prospect and 66th in the country, he had a number of great schools pursuing him when he committed on November 4th. Cincinnati, Duke, Northern Southern, Minnesota, Purdue and Wisconsin all showed interest.
Losing one of the best Ohio prospects to the Florida Gators didn't sit well with Urban Meyer so he continued to pursue Jerome Baker from Cleveland Benedictine long after his summer commitment. The 6'1" 205lbs four star linebacker flipped his commitment finally on Tuesday this week after months of Ohio State still recruiting him. He thanked the Florida Gator fans online while announcing that he had made the switch. He is currently rated the 4th best 'athlete' (meaning he can play multiple positions, as he plays running back in high school) in the country. Is considered an outside linebacker at the next level and is praised for his ability to chase down players in the backfield, cover, and having good ball skills.
The Ohio State Buckeyes has made a scholarship offer to St. Edward wide receiver, Alex Stump. Stump had already given a verbal commitment to Kentucky, one of many schools to chase Stump with scholarship dollars. The big deal schools include Stanford University, Harvard, Nebraska, Miami and West Virginia.
Stump sent out a graciously-toned tweet after he got the big offer. The offer came after the Eagles lost to Cincinnati Elder.
AJ Alexander recently made his decision to enroll in Ohio State over Wisconsin and 20+ learning institutions that had been making him college offers in the last few months. On the phone interview he did on Friday, September 12, 2014, Anderson stated that Ohio State had the educational and extra curriculum facilities, as well as staffs, that best suited him. Although he has accepted Ohio's recruitment, offered to him by Larry Johnson (defensive line coach) and Tim Hinton, he is yet to make an official visit to his institution of choice, Columbus campus. He plans to visit the campus on the weekend of 27th September, 2014.
Mickey Mitchell, the Four-Star Texas forward joins the Buckeyes.
The four star forward Mickey Mitchell hails from Plano, Texas. Mitchell has recently announced he is set to play for the Ohio State basketball team once again.
Mickey Mitchell signed up for the Buckeyes in August 2013, but he ended his commitment just four weeks ago when his brother, a footballer, transferred from Ohio State to Texas Tech.
Mickey Mitchell let the world know of his commitment via his public Twitter account.
Mickey Mitchell took the cue from his brother Mike who earlier transferred out of the Ohio State athletic program. Mickey is a 4-star power forward that Coach Thad Matta thought was a lock-in for the 2015 recruiting class. He gave his verbal commitment to play for the Buckeyes and his father backed this up with his statements. Ken Mitchell was adamant that his sons were deciding independently of each other and simply choosing what was best for them.
Ohio State, as far as they were concerned, has a legendary basketball program and offered excellent education for the boys. It fit their temperament. Mickey gave his word after seeing the campus on a visit to his brother last August. Rather abruptly, he has now decommitted citing family concerns as the primary reason. Specifically, the health of his father makes it important for him to stay closer to the family home.
Carlton Davis, a Miami safety, finally opened up about his commitment to Ohio State and this comes a day after Ohio State University lost a very promising commitment of the year 2014 due to an injury. The coming of Carlton Davis therefore gave the football brain trust at OSU some relief on Monday evening. The report concerning Davis' commitment came from nowhere because Scout's Corey Bender as well as Ryan Bartow of 247Sports alleged without confirmation that Buckeyes had landed the commitment of Davis, a Miami product. Both Bender and Bartow later revealed that Davis made the commitment on air at 560 A.M in Miami, his hometown.
Detroit Cass Tech offensive tackle Joshua Alabi has verbally committed to Ohio State. Alabi has surprised recruiting pundits by becoming the latest Cass Tech star to announce that he is taking his talents out of state.
Having made a total of ten visits to Ann Arbor over the past few months, Alabi was widely expected to commit to the Brady Hoke's Michigan program, but he has elected to join Urban Meyer's Buckeyes instead. He took just one official visit to Ohio State, but will now become the fourth Cass Tech star to head to Columbus since 2000.
Ohio State Football - The Reason Urban Myer Needs to Land a Star Quarterback in 2015:
There is no way to argue with the facts concerning Urban Myer's track record with recruiting. Through 3 solid recruiting cycles in Columbus, this Ohio State Coach managed to bring three top-5 classes to the Buckeyes:
5th Best in the country - 20122nd ranked class - 20133rd ranked class -2014
In the 2012 season, he arrived on campus having only 2 months left to go before the national signing day, and managed to turn a very unimpressive class into 5th best in the country. That is impressive.
However, during the first 2 1/2 years in the drivers seat at Ohio State, there was one specific position that eluded this 2-tie national champion head coach. This position is actually the most important position on the field.
Liam McCullough became a member of the Buckeyes' 2015 recruiting class. He has become the sixth member of the class and pledged his allegiance to Ohio State this afternoon. McCullough was ranked as second by the Chris Rubio long-snapping camps nationally.
McCullough, from Worthington Kilbourne, was believed to be the second specialist that was offered a scholarship by OSU after it was issued months ago by coach Urban Meyer. Bryce Haynes, the current OSU junior was the first to be offered such a scholarship. This day, McCullough picks OSU over Kentucky, Wisconsin and Michigan states. During his fifth grade, his pee-wee team required the service; hence, he started long-snapping back then.

Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is being propelled toward a stark choice that could come as soon as next week, define his legacy and set the course for his people in a decades-old conflict with Israel.
Abbas' aides fear he's being pushed by the U.S. into dropping his conditions for negotiating with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That includes a stop in Israeli settlement construction or acceptance that the basis of a future border is Israel's frontier before it captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in a 1967 war.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is returning next week for meetings with Abbas and Netanyahu, his fifth since taking office this year. It's not clear if he'll present U.S. ground rules for negotiation at that time. The sense in Palestinian leadership circles is that there is no significant pressure on Netanyahu to adopt the framework for talks accepted by his predecessor and that a high-stakes choice cannot be delayed much longer.
At the heart of the Palestinian dilemma is that despite the American eagerness for talks and their own desire to end Israel's 46-year-old occupation, they have low expectations of negotiations with Netanyahu. Most Palestinians consider the Israeli leader a hard-line ideologue who intends to drag out the process and never agree to anything close to terms they could live with.
Israel's current leaders "never believed in the two-state solution ... and will do everything on the ground to make it impossible to achieve," said Abbas aide Nabil Shaath, a veteran negotiator with Israel.
Public opinion complicates the situation: Fifty-six percent of Palestinians oppose a return to talks under Israel's terms, said Palestinian pollster Khalil Shikaki, citing results from a yet-to-be-published survey. Shikaki's polls are based on more than 1,200 respondents, with an error margin of 3 percentage points.
Signaling the apprehension, top Abbas aides are already working on a day-after strategy for fighting attempts to hold Abbas responsible for a failure of the U.S. initiative. And a top think tank in the West Bank has run through a dozen scenarios in the aftermath of an inadvertent collapse of the Palestinian Authority, Abbas' self-rule government, which some consider possible if the status quo continues.
Netanyahu has said he supports the idea of Palestinian statehood, but stripped of east Jerusalem and key areas of the West Bank, and with a series of restrictions -- parameters the Palestinians reject and which fall far short of previous Israeli proposals under Netanyahu's predecessors.
Kerry's peace proposal is expected to include financial aid to the Palestinians, security guarantees to Israel and assurances to the Palestinians that talks will be substantive.
There were hints this week that Abbas won't budge. The president's office said members of his Fatah movement urged him not to succumb to pressure. In that meeting, Fatah also prepared for damage control, naming four senior members to devise a plan to deflect expected international blame for saying "no" to Kerry.
International Mideast envoy Tony Blair warned this week that if Kerry's mission fails, the window of opportunity for a deal "could close forever."
Such warnings have been sounded repeatedly over 20 years of intermittent negotiations, but there's a growing sense that the door may really be closing.
U.S. mediation is key to success, but presidents from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush and now Barack Obama have held off any serious push until their second terms, when they were less concerned about re-election. If Kerry fails, the next opportunity might only come around in eight years.
By that time, a partition of the land may no longer be possible. Nearly 600,000 Israelis already live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, and Netanyahu has refused to stop building. Instead, there's been a record number of housing starts in settlements this year and thousands more apartments are in the pipeline, some deep in the West Bank.
The issue is deeply controversial in Israel itself, where Netanyahu critics believe partition is essential for Israel's own survival, because without it Jews will not for long be a majority in the areas Israel controls.
Last month, a group of mid-level Fatah activists, disillusioned after two decades of failed negotiations, urged Abbas to pursue a single state for Israelis and Palestinians between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River -- essentially asking Israel to annex war-won lands. Israel withdrew troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005, but Palestinians consider it still occupied because Israel controls access.
Palestinians must start pushing for equal rights in such a state, said Radi Jerayi, an ex- Fatah official.

Document - Indonesia: Four Ahmadiyya places of worship closed in a month, one more at imminent risk
Index: ASA 21/012/2013
5 May 2013
Indonesia: Four Ahmadiyya places of worship closed in a month, one more at imminent risk
The Indonesian authorities – and in particular the Ministry of Home Affairs – must immediately reopen at least four Ahmadiyya places of worship in West Java which have been sealed by local authorities since early April, and ensure that a fifth Ahmadiyya place of worship is not arbitrarily closed.
On 29 April 2013 an Ahmadiyya congregation in Sukabumi, West Java received a letter from the Sukabumi Mayor's office informing them that due to "security reasons" they would have to handover the building to the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs or action would be taken against them. One month earlier hundreds of members the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a radical Islamist group in Indonesia, had gathered outside the building calling for it to be shut down. Should the Sukabumi Ahmadiyya place of worship be closed, it would become the fifth Ahmadiyya place of worship closed in West Java since early April.
The closures of four other Ahmadiyya places of worship in a month come amid ongoing attacks, intimidation and state discrimination against religious minorities in Indonesia. Despite commitments to tackle religious intolerance, the Indonesian authorities are failing to protect religious minority groups and to revoke laws and regulations which are discriminatory and violate the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
On 12 April 2013 three Ahmadiyya places of worship in Cianjur, West Java were shut down by the local office of the Co-ordinating Board for the Monitoring of Mystical Beliefs (Bakorpakem), which is under the Attorney General's Office. Bakorpakem officials were accompanied by members of the FPI. Police reportedly stood by watching.
On 4 April 2013, dozens of members of the Bekasi Administrative Police (Satpol PP) sealed the Al-Misbah place of worship belonging to the Ahmadiyya. The local authorities had threatened to close the place of worship in Bekasi, West Java in February 2013 reportedly after facing pressure from the local branch of the FPI. At least 20 Ahmadiyya followers refused to leave and remain at the site three weeks after it was sealed in protest against the closure and also to protect their belongings.
According to the local authorities, the actions in Bekasi were based on the West Java Governor Regulation No. 12/ 2011 concerning Prohibition of Activities of the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation in West Java as well as the 2008 Joint Ministerial Decree (No. 3) forbidding the Ahmadiyya from promoting their activities. Amnesty International has stated on several occasions that this Decree, and the 1965 Defamation Law that it is based on, are fundamentally incompatible with Indonesia's international human rights obligations on freedom of expression, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and equality.
The arbitrary closure of these Ahmadiyya places of worship, based on such laws and regulations, therefore clearly contravenes Indonesia's obligations as a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). In particular, Article 18(1) of the ICCPR guarantees everyone the rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The right to freedom of religion is also enshrined in the Article 28E (1) of the Indonesian Constitution which provides that "[e]very person shall be free to choose and to practice the religion of his/her choice".
The central government must revoke the Regulation of the Governor of West Java No. 12/2011 and all other regional and national legislation and regulations that restrict the religious activities of the Ahmadiyya community in Indonesia. These have been used by local authorities and radical Islamist groups to justify discrimination, intimidation and attacks against the Ahmadiyya community in many parts of the country.
The Ahmadiyya are a religious group who consider themselves a part of Islam, although many Muslim groups say they do not adhere to the accepted Islamic belief system.
Amnesty International continues to receive credible reports of harassment, intimidation and attacks against other religious minority groups in Indonesia, including Shi'a and Christians. These include the closure, attacks and burning of places of worship and homes, at times leading to the displacement of communities belonging to these groups. Those who commit acts of violence against religious minorities are rarely punished
At least 168 Shi'a followers in Sampang, East Java, including 51 children, have been prevented from returning to their village by the local authorities nearly eight months after an anti-Shi'a mob attacked their village killing one person and setting fire to 35 homes in August 2012. They continue to live in a temporary shelter without adequate access to food and medical facilities. Some had previously been harassed by local government officials who told them to convert to Sunni Islam if they want to return to their homes. Five people were sentenced to between eight months and four years' imprisonment in connection with the attack. A sixth person accused was acquitted.
In February 2013, five churches in Makassar, South Sulawesi were the target of arson attacks by unidentified persons using molotov cocktails. To Amnesty International's knowledge, no one has been brought to justice for these attacks.
Amnesty International urges the Indonesian government to uphold its commitments to the protection of freedom of religion made during its Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in May 2012, repeal discriminatory "defamation" laws, denounce all incidents of violence against religious minorities in Indonesia and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice. The authorities must also develop a concrete strategy to strengthen respect for freedom of religion and religious tolerance, which has clearly deteriorated in recent years.

Truly Beautiful
By PDR
from Toronto area
These earrings are a beautiful design and the stones are wonderful. Because the piercing in my ear is low I like my earrings to have a bit of a cap above the post and these do not. If your piercing is perfect these will be perfect for you.Kristian - make sure your backings are good quality. The butterflies on these needed to be replaced - not a big deal but should be an easy fix.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lovely earrings - cheap butterfly backs
By Peggy
from Winnipeg
The labradorite is lovely, the earring design & size are beautiful. BUT,the butterfly backs are very cheap and actually can be easily bent with your fingers. Really a poor quality considering the nice overall earring quality.I have spare butterfly backs so I switched them. I would recommend them only because the stone & most of the earring are very nice.

Every year in March Israeli kindergarteners learn a song, "How do we know that spring has come? When daisies and poppies have decorated my country". It's actually chrysanthemums, not daisies but that seems a bit heavy on the tongue.
For me spring officially arrives when the garlic-mobile comes to the neighborhood, selling huge bunches of fresh garlic with soil still clinging to the purple white bulbs. It is massively stinky, seeping into clothes and skin even if left outside. "There's nothing like this abroad" says the garlic man proudly. Although this is a colloquialism that Israelis tend to use often, in this case, I have to agree with him. Luckily the smell subsides after a few days and in return I have a year's supply of local garlic.
Happy spring to everybody and happy fall to those Down Under.
