Dawson carries Garrett by Starfires
Garrett junior Brandi Dawson put her team on her back and helped them avoid a late comeback attempt by South Adams to remain perfect against the Starfires in the all time girls basketball series between the two schools.
Dawson led all players with 24 points and the Railroaders scored a 46-30 victory that was closer than the score might indicate. It was Garrett's tenth straight win over South Adams without a loss.
South Adams was trailing 28-14 midway through the third period, but Sharon Balsiger scored on an offensive put back and drew a foul. She sank the ensuing foul shot, and Kristen Muselman followed with a short jumper to get the Starfires within 28-19 with 1:46 left in...

Alternative Press Index is a bibliographic database of journal, newspaper, and magazine articles from over 700 international alternative, radical, and left periodicals. Alternative Press Index covers theories and practices of: socialism, revolution, ecology, democracy, anarchism, feminism, organized labor, indigenous peoples, and gay and lesbian issues. API coverage is both international and interdisciplinary and begins with 1969.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection. The infection is spread from the bite of an infected deer tick.
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria found in some deer ticks. An infected tick passes Lyme disease to humans through its bite.
If untreated, the bacteria can pass into the blood. The blood will carry it through the body. The bacteria may then settle in various body tissues. The spread of the infection can cause a number of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe.
Factors that increase your risk of Lyme disease include:
The symptoms of Lyme disease will be different in each person. They can also range from mild to severe.
The first sign may be a red rash. The rash starts as a small red spot at the site of the tick bite. It will then spread over the next few days or weeks to form a circular or oval-shaped rash. Sometimes the rash resembles a bull's eye with a red ring around a clear area with a red center. The rash may cover a small dime-sized area or a wide area of the body.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
In the first 3-30 days after the bite, if the infection has not spread you may notice:
These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have Lyme disease, even if you have spent time outdoors. See your doctor right away if you have these symptoms and think you have been exposed to a tick.
An infection that has begun to spread may cause the following symptoms in days to weeks after the bite:
Symptoms can develop in months or years after the tick bite in untreated infections. These symptoms may occur regularly or intermittently and include:
Less common symptoms of late Lyme disease include:
A doctor may be able to diagnose Lyme disease based on your symptoms and the history of a tick bite.
After four weeks of Lyme disease, your body may create antibodies against
the infection. Your doctor may look for these antibodies with a blood test. The blood test cannot confirm or rule out Lyme disease. Instead, the results of the blood test will be used in combination with your symptoms and personal history to make a diagnosis.
Lyme disease responds well to antibiotics. These medications can kill bacteria. Antibiotics used most often include:
The length of your antibiotic treatment will depend on your condition. You may need to take them for 10 days to 3 weeks or more. You may be given the antibiotics by mouth or by injection.
To relieve pain from chronic arthritis you doctor may recommend:
Try the following to help prevent Lyme disease:
If you live or are visiting northeastern, northwestern, mid-Atlantic, or upper north-central regions of the United States and northwestern California:
Deer ticks are unlikely to pass the infection unless they are in contact with the skin for at least 24 hours. After spending time outdoors in risk area:
If you do find a tick,
remove it
by doing the following:
There are some steps that do not help. They may cause more problems.
If you have been bitten by a deer tick, especially if you live in an area where Lyme disease is common, you should watch for a rash to appear. It may take about one month after the bite for the rash to show.
If you have a tick bite and live in a high-risk area, your doctor may recommend a dose of the antibiotic doxycycline. This may reduce the risk of contracting Lyme disease if taken within 72 hours after a tick bite. However, this antibiotic can have serious side effects in children less than 8 years old. This prevention step is only used in people older than 8 years.
The risk of catching Lyme disease after a single tick bite is low. Many experts do not recommend preventive antibiotic treatment.

Divide and conquer isn't the solution for the Syracuse theatre scene. Instead, three theatre companies are collaborating in response to the current economic situation. They are known as the Syracuse Theatre District. As our Iris St. Meran explains, in the district, everything from ideas to actors are shared.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Three separate theatre companies in Syracuse with individual productions had to improvise in this ever changing economy. They formed The District. It isn't a particular section in the city, but a coalition.
Rarely Done Productions Artistic Director Dan Tursi said, "Using resources with one another: Actors, set designers and tech staff and ideas and spaces, et cetera."
The District includes Apple Seed Productions, Rarely Done Productions and Red House and launched in October. The goal is to continue to thrive as the theatre scene once did just a few decades ago.
"We used to have 23 plus theatre companies here in town that stood alone," Tursi added. "You could because of the economy. It was great, the 80s and 90s were great. We all know what the economy is now. We need to help one another now. Standing alone is just something of the past."
Tursi didn't put a dollar figure on it, but said this collaboration would be a substantial savings for all involved.
In addition to saving money, The District will help promote each company's individual theatre productions.
"We have these things called district nights. We try on each of the opening nights of each other's companies. We bring a cast to those shows to build up the audiences," said Tursi.
And they're doing this for the audiences. To make sure theatre arts stays in the community an effort they're doing together.
This is the first year for the district. In the future, they'll look into inviting other theatre companies.

FBLA 20 Questions: Edward Padgett
The NY Times might have some fancy writers, editors and such but the LA Times has a secret weapon: Edward Padgett, pressman, blogger, and relentless teller of truth. And the truth comes out, when he answers those "so random they must be profound" questions of ours.
1. What's the first thing(s) you read in the morning? LAObserved, LA Biz Observed, Fishbowl LA, Media Bistro, Los Angeles Times, San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
2. What's your favorite guilty pleasure website? Fling.com
3. What job do you fantasize about having? Tour guide on the Island of Cozumel for non Spanish speaking tourist.
4. Last movie you saw? I-robot with Will Smith
5. Last book you read? On Death and Dying, by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross M.D.
6. Best show legendary biz/movie star encounter. Met Debra Wilson from MAD TV at Naja's in Redondo Beach, we danced, drank, and laughed. Just met Danny Bonaduce at the 2007 Love Ride, and found him to be much calmer than portrayed by the media.

Shouldn't it be Zend_Model_DB? So that later on we could have Zend_Model_XML... ?

Jul 16, 2006

I think the 'DB' should be dropped altogether. A model, whilst usually tied to a database in some form, describes a behaviour of an object and shouldn't necessarily be associated too closely with a specific implementation.

I'd be happier with a Zend_Model that accepts a DB backend (be it Pdo_Mysql, XML or whatever). That way you could remove a lot of the 'table', 'adapter' methods and concentrate more on performing more abstract tasks like 'insert', 'update' or 'find'.

I think using the public properties of a Zend_Model would also be more intuitive than a 'field()' method. To me, $user->id = 1 is a lot less complicated and easier to understand than $user->field('id')->value(1);

I would also review methods like 'assignPostVars' which would seem to bypass the recommended filtering processes and also may be too specific - see the current component Zend_Filter_Input which does a good job of pre-filtering before you pass values to your model.

Jul 17, 2006

A Zend_Model with support for multiple backend seems to me a good idea, and will review the proposal to adapt it to this.

The use of public properties, although I recognize that is more intuitive, does not follow the standards of the object-oriented programming.

In addition, the use of global properties does not allow the extension of Zend_Model_Field to make things like for example:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[

About the assignPostVars method, uses Zend_Filter for the validation of the data introduced in the form.

In this moment there are other proposals, that are centered specifically in the validation of forms and could be a perfect replacement for this method.

Jul 17, 2006

What about $user->dateValue($user->id, '%Y');

I had imagined you would be overloading properties to achieve this, so you could certainly extend the class without too much effort.

E.g. $user->id->dateValue('%Y'); // functionally identical to your example but using overloading.

Jul 19, 2006

I have created a new revision using public properties, eliminating the part of validation of data and added objects loaded dynamically.

I have studied the use of multiple backends, but it has seemed to me that it adds excessive complexity to Zend_Db_Model, and that is not the reason for this proposal.

Aug 09, 2006

I can't tell if this conversation is over, but I thought I'd add this anyway.

About the comments about different storage for Model data, I think it would be better to separate the storage from the model class, ie have a ModelLoader/ModelMapper class hierachy that deal with creating an Model from a data source (DB/xml/whatever), and saving the model's data back to that medium. So there would be a Zend_Model_Mapper interface class and one or more concrete implementations for each Model implementation.

As well as separating the Model from a particular data source it also separates the Model creation code from the model behavioral code, which I think is a good aim as well.

Nov 06, 2006

I have already done storage and model separation in my own framework. I think this is very good idea and missing in ZendFramework. By using DataAdaptors you can read and write to different datasources, ie. DB<>CSV, DB<>SOAP or what you exactly want.

Source of my framework is closed now, but if you want I can release code somewhere.

At my company we will develop brand new project using Zend Framework, and DataAdaptor`s functionality is what we need. Also we want to implement IOC Factory. Maybe our work will be helpful for Zend Community. What do you think? <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Nov 06, 2006

Correct: datasources, ie. DB < - > CSV, DB < - > SOAP

Editor's note: Mark Whitaker is executive vice president and managing editor of CNN Worldwide. Whitaker worked at Newsweek for 25 years and was the editor from 1998 to 2006. Newsweek's final print edition publishes this week.
(CNN) -- When people ask me if there's anything I miss about my old job at Newsweek, it's an easy answer. Besides the amazingly talented colleagues I worked with there, I miss picking the cover.
The cover is the calling card of any magazine, but it was particularly true for newsmagazines, since we put out a new issue every week and the range of subjects we had to choose from was so broad. In my era, as competition from more instant news on cable TV and the Web became ever more intense, it was also the one area where our slowpoke frequency could work in our favor.
Make a smart call on the cover, and it stayed on newsstands and coffee tables for an entire week for readers to admire and discuss. It's why, for instance, I still hear people talk about the cover story that I asked Fareed Zakaria, my former colleague at Newsweek (and now at CNN), to write after 9/11 called "Why They Hate Us."
Of course, the opposite was also true. Make a dumb call and you had to live with it for a whole week. A crudely Photoshopped cover of Martha Stewart emerging from behind a curtain after her brief prison stint for obstruction of justice and making false statements to investigators comes to mind.
For decades, the cover was also how the fierce competition between Newsweek and Time was defined. In the 1960s, Newsweek became a "hot book" after three decades as a distant also-ran, thanks largely to its forward-looking covers on civil rights, Vietnam and the women's movement (not to mention Twiggy and LSD). In the 1970s, it was the cleverness of its cover designs as well as the depth of its reporting that wowed everyone who followed Newsweek's coverage of Watergate.
When both magazines put a young Bruce Springsteen on the cover in the same week in 1975, it became conventional wisdom that we tried to copy each other. But the opposite was true: We were always looking to win the cover war, and we exulted when we did.
One of those moments came for me the weekend that Princess Diana died in 1997. We held the presses, threw out the issue we had just put to bed and came back into the office in the wee hours to publish a new one. I wanted a striking image for the cover and remembered a black and white photo of a short-haired Diana that had been taken by the fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
One of my photo editors, a friend of Demarchelier's, went to his apartment, woke him up and persuaded him to give us the negative. When I saw a wire service photo several hours later of Time's cover, a standard news shot of Diana, I knew our issue would crush theirs on the newsstand. And it did, selling well over a million copies.
Some weeks, like that one, the thrill was in "crashing" a cover at the last minute when a big story broke close to our Sunday deadline. John F. Kennedy Jr. would perish in a plane accident, or Saddam Hussein would get captured in Iraq, and we'd switch covers and have the satisfaction of looking nimble and newsy on Monday.
Details, however, could sometimes get overlooked in the rush. In 1990, when I wrote a Sunday story on Nelson Mandela's release from prison, we put the word "Free!" on the cover. We never stopped to think that people would assume we were giving away the magazine for nothing.
On slower news weeks, the satisfaction was in posing a pressing or provocative question about the economy, or race relations, or gay rights, or the fight to improve our health or save our schools. Or it was in deciding which icons deserved covers when they died, and what new cultural figures were worth highlighting on the way up. As proud as I was of putting a newly elected senator from Illinois named Barack Obama on our year-end cover in 2004, I was just as proud of selecting Jon Stewart in 2003.
Then there was the sheer creative fun of coming up with the designs and words for the cover. I'll never forget election night 2000, when the race between George W. Bush and Al Gore went into overtime. We were closing a special issue, and we had prepared separate covers declaring each man the winner. But what to do now?
At about 3 in the morning, my art director walked into my office with an image that her staff had concocted of the two faces melded into one. "That's genius!" I said, and we put it on the cover with the headline "The Winner Is..."
Decades from now, when people have forgotten most of what they read inside the pages of Newsweek, they'll still remember the visual impact of covers like that one. And those of us who were lucky enough to work there will remember those late nights, crowded in the editor's office, competing to see who could come up with the best cover line.
It sure was heaven while it lasted.

Day Trip – Santiago – Sol de Maya Waterfall
May 22, 2009 by jim.pickell
Filed under Activities
Around the East Cape of Baja California Sur is a small agricultural community called Santiago. A few minutes away there is a park, technically an Ecological Center, with a 60 foot waterfall, where you can take a dip and put your head under a 90 degree waterfall (like a nice shower – the pool doesn't feel hot). The water was deep enough to dive in May when we visited. A few people brought small BBQs although fires are not permitted. A mask and snorkel adds to the fun, especially when you see what looks like gold dust at the bottom of the pool. I didn't see any fish, but suspect even without that prospect it gets crowded in the weekend.
You can drive either direction from Todos Santos since it's a large loop. It's about 2 hours from Todos Santos in either direction. If you head north to La Paz, you will pass the Cactus Santuary (a must see that takes about 1/2 hour and will be covered in another post), Il Triunfo (where you can have a coffee at the Il Triunfo Caffe, owned by Mark, the same owner of the Todos Santos Caffe), and Los Barriles (resort community with bright aqua marine water that attracts many Gringo kitesurfers and windsurfers).
Near KM83 take a right (if you are headed south) at the sign on the Carretera (highway) that says "Santiago". Head a few miles to the town of Santiago. Just before a small Pemex gas station, take a right away from the town. Follow the signs to the Ecological Center. If you get confused, just ask someone. Everyone in town knows the spot. It's approximately 6 miles to the main gate (where there is a small entrance fee) and 1 mile drive thereafter. At the end of the road, park your car (in the shade) and walk 8 minutes to get the falls where you can swim and spend a few hours. To the South towards Cabo it's about 110 miles to the gate.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: FOR COMMENT: syrian opposition
Reworked. more emphasis on the propaganda war, conflicting storylines etc,
esp. in the fourth section. Included a bit from G2/S2 - US/SYRIA/GV - U.S.
to Syrians: 'Don't Expect Another Libya'
The Syrian Opposition: Perception and Reality
The following is a special report examining the realities of the
opposition in Syria.
The events of the Arab Spring have lent themselves to compelling
http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20110815-re-examining-arab-spring . In
Egypt, a democratic revolution brought about the end of the Hosni Mubarak
regime; in Libya, a united front of democratic and liberal-minded rebel
forces defeated the military apparatus of Moammar Gadhafi -- or so the
stories go. A much closer look reveals how Egypt's political transition
was far more the result of a regime coup (link to weekly on this) as
opposed to a successful people's revolution, while Libya's rebel front is
already splitting along ideological and tribal lines. The problem with
these stories is that they are often inconsistent with on-the-ground
Such is the case in Syria, where an interesting, albeit misleading,
narrative is being crafted by opposition groups hoping to attract foreign
support. According to that narrative, the Syrian opposition is gaining
traction, and the collapse of the ruling minority Alawite regime is
imminent. But the reality of the situation is much more nuanced: The
opposition itself is highly fractured and is operating under heavy
The geopolitical trends in the region
work against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad in the long
run, but the opposition is ill equipped to achieve its goals on its own.
The movement will be hard pressed to find the level of external support
needed to force regime change. But the regime likewise is operating under
heavy constraints, and at this point neither the regime nor the opposition
has the ability to overwhelm the other, which will leave Syria consigned
to a state of protracted conflict for the foreseeable future. Key to
understanding this dynamic is an assessment of the Syrian opposition.
(3)SUBHEAD1: Evolution of the Protests
Syria saw hints of unrest in early February and again in mid-March, when a
small group of protesters attempted to organize demonstrations in Damascus
through Facebook. The Syrian regime was quick to pre-empt and clamp down
on those protests, but a new locus emerged shortly thereafter in the
southwestern city of Daraa, a concentration of rural Sunnis with ties to
Sunni tribes and religious groups across the Iraqi and Jordanian borders.
While Daraa was the scene of the most violent unrest and crackdowns,
demonstrations began to rapidly spread to Damascus suburbs, Latakia (where
a large number of Alawites are concentrated), Homs, Hama and the
Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli. Protesters began replicating the Daraa
model of protest, whereby they attempt to circumvent government detection
by organizing by word of mouth rather than by social networking websites.
Pro-regime forces responded by cutting off the city's electricity and
water supply and blocking the delivery of food. Daraa has since remained
relatively quiet and in lockdown.
However, the regime then faced bigger problems in the Sunni strongholds of
Homs, Hama and Jisr al Shughour. As the locus of the protests moved into
these Sunni areas, the Syrian regime concentrated its resources in the key
urban population centers of Damascus and Aleppo, where security forces
were quick to disperse protesters. The Syrian regime, relying mostly on
the Republican Guard, the 4th Armored Division, and the 14th and 15th
special forces divisions, along with armed plainclothes shabbiha
militiamen and riot police, attempted to replicate their crackdown in
Daraa in the cities of X, Y and Z, this is what was included in the notes,
do we mean Homs, Hama and JAS?
Ashley was supposed to fill in these details but with limited success.
Despite the regime's efforts, Syrian security forces simply do not have
the resources to overwhelm the protesters -- as Iran was able to during
its protests following the 2009 presidential election controversy (link).
Indeed, Syria has been reluctant to deploy more demographically mixed army
divisions for fear of causing more severe splits within the armed forces,
thereby overstretching the mostly Alawite units. (Rather than deploy the
military to all reaches of the country, the regime has been tracking
persons of interest with human and signal intelligence, then raiding those
homes on a case-by-case basis.) At the same time, the regime benefits from
the fact that Syrian minorities -- Alawites, Christians and Druze, who,
along with a select circle of Sunnis that the al Assads have incorporated
into their patronage network, form the economic elite in the country --
have not yet shown the willingness to join the demonstrations and
transform Syria's fractious protest movement into a veritable revolution.
(3)SUBHEAD 2: Makeup of the Opposition
The opposition on the ground consists primarily of young and middle-aged
men, though women and children are also present at times. The largest
protests materialize after Friday prayers, when participants congregate on
the streets outside mosques. That is not to say protests are relegated
solely to Fridays; a number of demonstrations have been held on other days
of the week but on a smaller scale. These protests also consist of men,
women and children of all ages.
But the opposition is ideologically diverse. A key element of what is
considered Syria's traditional opposition -- groups that have long been
opposed to the regime -- is the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood (MB), which the
regime has demonized throughout the unrest. In 1976, the Syrian MB began
an armed insurgency against the Alawite regime, led at the time by al
Assad's father Hafez. By 1982 the group was crushed in the renowned Hama
massacre that allegedly killed some 30,000 civilians. The MB was driven
underground, and dissenters in other Sunni majority cities, including Jisr
al-Shughour, were quickly stamped out.
Today, the Syrian MB remains a key participant in the opposition movement,
but its capabilities inside Syria are weak. Syrian MB leader Ali Bayanouni
resides in exile in London, and the Syrian MB outside Syria has become
increasingly involved in the external opposition movement, participating
in conferences such as the National Council of Syria (NCS) conference in
Istanbul in late August.
However, the Syrian MB is unable to maintain much influence in Syria due
to a limited presence inside the country, and it would take a concerted
effort on the part of the Islamist group to earn the trust and fellowship
of other Syrians. Since the banning of the Syrian MB in 1980, al Assad's
regime has been quick to blame the organization for militant attacks as a
means of instilling fear of the MB among Syrian citizens. Christians,
Alawites, and even other Muslims are weary of groups of a Sunni
conservative group gaining political influence in the regime.
Opposition has also traditionally resided in Syria's mostly Kurdish
northeast due to the Kurds' long-standing grievances against the regime,
which has denied this group basic rights and citizenship. The Kurds have
taken part in conferences led by the external opposition, such as the NCS
meeting in Istanbul. Protests have meanwhile occurred in Kurdish majority
cities such as El Darbeseya, Amouda, and Qamishli, but they have not
reached the scale of unrest as those in Sunni-concentrated areas. The
Kurds and Sunnis may share the desire for regime change, but once the goal
of regime change is achieved, whoever is in power, aside from the Kurds,
will seek to contain Kurdish separatism. There already have been
indications that Kurdish representatives among Syria's protest movement
are being excluded from the process of drafting up demands.
The Syrian MB and the Kurds are two of several groups that have tried to
coalesce into a more substantial opposition force inside Syria in recent
years. These groups took advantage of the Syrian regime's weakened
position following the withdrawal from Lebanon in the spring of 2005 by
drafting and signing the Damascus Declaration in October of the same year.
Written by Syrian dissident Michel Kilo, the declaration was a statement
of unity written calling for political reform in the capital city.
Declaration signatories include the Kurdish Democratic Alliance in Syria
and the Kurdish Democratic Front in Syria. The Syrian MB was originally
part of the Damascus Declaration, but internal disagreements led the MB to
distance itself from this opposition movement in 2009. Disunity among the
opposition remains to this day.
(3)SUBHEAD3: Tactical Overview of the Protests
Opposition groups -- and thus protests -- inside Syria remain relatively
small and localized. Protests rarely involve more than 500 participants,
and they take place in the cities or areas in which the participants live.
Typically, the protests are short, lasting no more than half an hour,
though in exceptional cases like Hama protesters have numbered in the
Coordinating these protests is a challenge for the opposition movement.
Since mid-March most of the coordination has been conducted by local
coordinating committees operating within Syria. Opposition members insist
coordination is improving with these entities, which are responsible for
planning protests in their respective communities. These committees use
Facebook to designate the theme of an upcoming protest. According to
STRATFOR sources, liaison officers in many cities and towns report
directly to a command center in Ashrafie, a Christian sector in Beirut.
They receive instructions on the timing of the demonstrations from there,
and they send images of the protests and police brutality to the center.
Their reports are not independently verified.
To curb what interface there is among the groups, the al Assad regime has
tightened controls on the country's communications, especially Internet
communications. This is especially true on Fridays and Saturdays, when
bigger protests are more likely to occur. But in this regard the regime is
careful not to overstep its boundaries. Shutting down communications in
full would compromise the Sunni business class' support for the regime.
include the point i had in the previous draft that they use the comms to
their advantage to ID opposition members
Nonetheless, Syrians are still able to communicate internally via the
Internet or cell phone -- after 40 years under authoritarian rule, many of
them possess the technological savvy to find ways around the regime's
communications controls. While the methods they use to circumvent those
controls are unclear, video recordings of the protests have been posted to
the Internet; somehow, controls are avoided.
They also use more traditional means to coordinate their activities. Many
cities and neighborhoods also have traditional communication networks.
Locations such as local mosques or neighborhood stores or tea houses are
useful meeting points because they are common places where most Syrians
tend to frequent on a given day. The opposition avoid using phrases like
'the opposition' as if it's a singular, unified entity. say opposition
members/ activists, anti-regime, etc. uses couriers to pass messages among
its members, and it likely employs other covert measures, such as drop
spots, when necessary.
(3)SUBHEAD 4: War of Perceptions
There are two sides to every war, and the war of perceptions in Syria is
no exception. Through state-run media agencies, the al Assad regime has
portrayed the opposition as armed terrorists while depicting military
personnel as peacekeepers who attack only when provoked. The regime has
accused foreign states of using the unrest to divide Syria, playing to the
population's fear of foreign meddling. It also has downplayed or denied
rumors of officials having resigned in response to the government's
handling of the protests, and it has vilified those who report
contradictions of its official lines.
For its part, the opposition is also crafting a version of the story in
Syria, the bulk of which originates from two sources: the Syrian
Revolution General Commission, purportedly an umbrella group for 70
percent of the more than 200 local coordinating committees operating
within Syria, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Both groups
operate from abroad and claim to play a role in coordinating the protests.
Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
reportedly leads a group of some 200 activists throughout Syria; he claims
to maintain contact with his sources through Skype, Gmail and phones with
unregistered numbers. However, the degree to which these two groups
actively coordinate the opposition is questionable, given that they do not
operate in the country.
What is unquestionable is their role in reporting on the opposition inside
Syria. Local coordinating committees avail themselves to the mainstream
media and actively post developments on Facebook. Through these media, the
committees present updates on casualty counts, the whereabouts of the
military and abductions of opposition figures -- unsurprisingly, these
figures conflict with those of the regime. They have also alleged that
security forces surround hospitals to prevent wounded protesters from
receiving medical treatment, and that they have stormed several schools.
These reports, like those from the regime, should be viewed with
skepticism; the opposition understands that it needs external support,
specifically financial support, if it is to be a more robust movement than
it is right now. To that end, it has every reason to present the facts on
the ground in such a way as to justify the need for foreign backing.
Conflicting storylines do not change the reality on the ground, and the
reality is this: The opposition will never be able to topple the regime
without foreign backing. tone this down.. it's way too definitive. i would
cut these first too lines and just say the conflicting storylines do not
conceal the fact that the opposition is very unlikely to overwhelm and
topple the regime without significant foreign backing. Turkey and Saudi
Arabia have a long-term interest in restoring Sunni power in Syria, but
are more concerned about the short-term cost of sectarian spillover and
provoking Iranian retaliation
as Tehran seeks to maintain its strategic foothold in the levant.
While finding a benefactor is difficult -- few, if any, countries stand to
benefit from a destabilized Syria, and international actors may actually
believe the regime's narrative that most protesters are terrorists -- the
logistics of moving that money into the country would be relatively easy.
<-- dont understand at all what this is saying, but whatever it is saying
is inaccurate to begin with. Cut this out entirely. just start new on how
funding appears to be taking place so far
In fact, small-scale logistical support is most likely under way already.
External opposition groups accept donations and membership dues, though
much of this money goes to self-sustainment what does this mean? as
opposed to what?. To move money, Syrians use a Hawala network, a
remittance system that operates outside traditional banking or financial
avenues. Such a system is ideal for the opposition because there are no
wire transactions to be tracked or smuggled currency to be found. It also
makes difficult to quantify exactly how much money is being transacted.
Still, this transition doesn't make sense the opposition remains largely
nonviolent, financial issues notwithstanding. This is likely a strategic
move; maintaining a nonviolent image allows the opposition to appear
sympathetic to would-be foreign backers while demonizing the regime when
it cracks down on protesters.
However, there are some elements within the opposition who believe they
will never receive external support and seek to arm themselves
pre-emptively. This especially true among some within the youth faction,
who argue that they do not need to maintain a nonviolent image, and that
their survival is predicated upon their ability to obtain weapons and
counter the regime offensive before the Syrian regime has a chance to take
advantage of regional distractions to intensify its crackdowns. In theory,
weapons and equipment are relatively difficult to procure inside Syria --
most of the country's arms were confiscated after the incident in Hama in
1982 -- but porous borders, highly functional smuggling networks, and a
region awash in military hardware make weapons acquisition less
problematic than in other areas of the world. Before that happens, they
must receive serious covert backing, and there is no evidence to suggest
this is happening. In fact, U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford has told the
opposition that Syria will not be treated as Libya was treated, meaning
outside help is a remote possibility at best. move the Ford statement up
to where I talk about how saudi and turkey dont want to push things too
far right now. include how US has also made clear libya situation not
replicable in syria. would include the actual quote
Without foreign backing, the opposition movement will never avoid these
super definitive terms, always, never, etc. are never appropriate for
these analyses acquire enough money or gain enough traction to acquire
large amounts of weaponry, let alone achieve regime change. The movement
is simply too small and too ill equipped, and because of the war of
perceptions why BECAUSE of the war of perceptions? that's designed to
counter these constraints. i dont get what this is trying to say, too few
foreign actors care to commit money or aid or risk instability in the
country. As the opposition and the regime continue to shape the
perceptions of the reality in Syria, the developments there will continue
to stalemate, regardless of how they craft their narrative.

good at first but didn't last By Keep with the program dori on 12/17/2014Keep with the program dori wouldn't recommend this product to a friendWorked fine for about a year of course is that in the box for about six months before I plugged it in. After which the relay started to not always switch on the pump. It would light up appropriately but not turn on the switch untell you power cycled the JBJ. Took me a while to figure this out. I spoke to JBJ at reef conferences And they seemed eager to help me.of course once I contacted them then they never responded to any correspondence and were of no help. So I programmed my controller to turn the thing off and on three times an hour so hopefully one of those times the relay would work appropriately. Now in the market for a new auto top off
7 years and counting By Jason on 11/18/2014Jason would recommend this product to a friendI have bought 2 of these over the years and still use both of them. I spent $10 at HD for a small acrylic sheet and built a box with 'teeth' at the top and small holes all over it, in a corner to keep the floats in and keep the snails, hermits, and other creatures out. Just clean the floats once every 4-6 months.
I have one float at my 'full level' (max water level - turns the pump off) and one float at my 'fill level' (minimum water level - turns pump on) inside the box.
7 years and counting for my first one and the second one 2 or so years, for my quarantine tank.
Note: you can unscrew the cover and re-adjust the timer for the pump.
not bad By dominick on 11/13/2014dominick would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this amd after a.month 1 of the floats.went bad but after contacting brs they sent a new one and its been working perfect ever since.
Works good for value By Christopher on 10/14/2014Christopher would recommend this product to a friendBeen using this ATO for a couple years and for the price I can't really complain. It's simple to set up and works good. Couple problems with the floats getting calcified and sticking but if you clean them ever couple months and scrape the build up there's no problems. Heard stories of them overflowing sumps but I've never had it happen yet. Good product for under $100
Great product! By William on 7/26/2014William would recommend this product to a friendI am using 2 of these at the moment. One on my 240 Reef and one on my 75 gallon reef. Both as ATO's. I use a small pump (250gph) to deliver the water. I have been running one of these for over a year with no issues. Save your money and go this route you will not be sorry. People complain about float switches, just check on your system and do your regular maintenance.
Great for the price By MICHAEL on 6/23/2014MICHAEL would recommend this product to a friendDoes what it is supposed to do. Keeps the water level right. Do be aware that you may need to adjust the internal run time if your pump can not keep up with the rate of evaporation. However that is a very simple adjustment
Disappointed By zedagyrl on 6/5/2014zedagyrl wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have to be able to get this to work properly. I used a aqualifter for my pump and it could not pump enough water into my sump before it "time out". I adjusted the internal timer to run as long as possible and it will work for a few days and keep my water topped off then for no reason it times itself out and never resets to run again.
Potential disaster By Daktari on 5/9/2014Daktari wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIf you are going to use this I advise that you run the inflow through a float valve. If the solenoid malfunctions in the on position you may have a flood or drastically reduce salinity depending on your set up. My LFS stopped selling this unit after several unhappy customers tried to return them. At least the float valve will stop the water.
Another problem I have experienced 3 times in the first month is that the unit will shut off and not come back on. I reset the internal timer to allow maximum run time and will see if this fixes the problem. I attribute this to the slower fill rate due to the float valve. We shall see if the problem is fixed.
Also if your pump is at a higher level than the end of your input hose regardless if it is in the sump water or not it will create a siphon and the water will continue to flow after the pump shuts off. You will need to install a siphon break.
The power chord and the leads for the float sensors were way too short for my application.
I may go back to a gravity fed set up with a 12 dollar float valve.
Good System, but tricky! By Rod on 4/9/2014Rod would recommend this product to a friendLove this reliable system, but had problems for months trying to get it to work right. Finally realized that sump water was back siphoning back to the fresh water container ( 5 gal bucket) after the pump shut off. Had many friends look at the system trying to figure it out, but nobody detected the reverse siphon. After raising the tubing out of the water in sump, it has worked great.
EXCELLENT!! By Lawrence on 4/7/2014Lawrence would recommend this product to a friendI've had mine for just over a year. Helps keep my Sump water level in check... works perfect right out of the box. No problems at all.
automate for best results By Michael on 3/18/2014Michael would recommend this product to a friendAfter automating my top off, my tank has been much more stable and growth rates have increased. I recommend cleaning the sensors every couple of months to avoid salt build up that can cause a failure.
Disappointing By TankLady on 2/13/2014TankLady wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI used one float switch at a time, each failed after a couple of months. Additionally the unit itself freezes occasionally. Needing to be unplugged and plugged back in to make it work.

What kind of pump is recommended for this system thanks
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Dan,
Any low flow pump will work with this ATO. I ave personally used our 50ml/min dosing pump but find that it had trouble keeping up with large systems. I moved to the Auqa Gadget HydroFill ATO Pump due to the fact that it can be run dry without any problems, its self priming and it won't back siphon.
Another great option would be a small submersible pump like the eheim 300 or sicce micra and micraplus
Keep in mind these pumps are rated for low head heights so if you are running the ATO hose from the ground to the top of your tank you will need to go a little bigger.
I hope this helps!
Have a great day :)
by werner on October 29, 2013, @6:21 AM
what's the recommended pump for the ATO JBJ? thanks!
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Werner,
Really just about anything will work in terms of the ATO itself, its more about how far and fast you need to pump water. The most common pump is the aqualifter pump which pumps slowly and only goes a couple of feet. Otherwise if you need to pump larger distances you could use something like the 50ml top off doser.
by jerry on January 17, 2014, @1:24 AM
Why do i still get drips of water out of my discharge hose non stop even after the vaccum pump has shut off the.
The vacuum pump is on the bracket at the top of the tank at lease 3 ft. higher then my R/O holding tank(no pump in here for the A.T.O.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jerry,
Is the water in your storage container higher off the floor then the water in your sump? If so that would create a siphon when the pump turns on and water would continue to pass to the tank after it turns off (regardless of where pump itself is located).
JBJ ATO Self-Leveling Controller Features:
Float Sensors
The A.T.O. is equipped with (2) float sensors that activate within seconds when your water level drops and automatically refills your sump or tank until it reaches your desired set point. Each float sensor has been designed with an exterior guard preventing snails & hermit crabs from attaching to the sensors.
Electronic Controller Module
Our state-of-the-art electronic controller allows for (2) modes of operation with a total of (3) different set up scenarios, allowing you more choices for installation for your unique set up. Our compact controller also incorporates a visible L.E.D. panel and an Audible Signal alerts when in operation mode.
Linkable Brackets
The kit includes commercial grade "Linkable Brackets" that can easily be adjusted to meet your height requirements, and securely positions your float sensors. No suction cups to lead to disastrous water spillage.
Pump Safety Protection
The A.T.O. automatically stops power to your return pump in your reservoir, in the event that your reservoir is low on water. This safety feature prevents pumps from running dry and failing. (Mode A- Example 1)

Another excellent product!
Beautiful Gerber Daisies Square Invitations I had gotten my Save-The-Date magnets from MagnetStreet, and I was so impressed with them that I decided to get my wedding invitations from them as well. I am thrilled with the quality and promtpness with which they arrived! I highly recommend!
Beuatiful, but.....
Beautiful Gerber Daisies Favor Memo Boards Looked great. Was disappointed with the design. The magnet for the pen looks like it is attached, but it isn't. So if you do decide to buy this product, envelopes would be a nice way to keep it all together. Or you could buy double sided tape to keep pen on the sign.
Love them!
Beautiful Gerber Daisies Tea-length Invitations The invitations are beautiful. The quality is what I expected and design is perfect.

LOVE!!!! "I absolutely LOVE LOVE these tone and tighten capri workout pant!! I just bought a second pair today! These are my favorite workout pants to wear. Nice form fitting and when i wear my other ones out on my hike/run in the mornings, I sweat a lot, I don't feel wet or gross at all like with other workout wear, but when I get home and take these off, they are soaked!!

EDO Competition converts five-year-old Aston Martin DB9 into DBS
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Jun 19th, 2010 at 3:33PM
You'd think that someone who can afford to have their Aston Martin DB9 transformed into a DBS could probably afford to simply buy a new DBS. We can't really speak to the motivations of one Russian DB9 owner, but Edo Competition wasn't about to argue with a paying customer. After the five-year old DB9 was brought to Edo for conversion, the tuner replaced the original metal body panels with the carbon fiber parts used on Aston's flagship DB. In addition to the external appearance, the interior of the car has been customized with a mix of leather, Alcantara, carbon fiber and metal. The... Read More

Since 1990, when Robert Jordan�s The Wheel of Time� burst on the world with its first book, The Eye of the World, readers have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over forty million copies in over thirty languages.
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind.
Edited by Jordan�s widow, who edited all of Jordan�s books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan�s legions of readers.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass.
What was, what will be, and what is,
may yet fall under the Shadow.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Robert Jordan (October 17, 1948�September 16, 2007), a native of Charleston, South Carolina, was the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time�, with millions of books in print.
Brandon Sanderson grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. He teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University and lives in Utah with his wife and children.
My son asked for this book and was very pleased to receive as a gift.
The product arrived 4 days before its expected arrival date! We were very excited! The book cover, which can sometimes take a beating was pristine!

Henri de Fantin-Latour
French, 1836–1904
Bouquet of Mixed Flowers with Zinnias and Dahlias in a Bowl, c. 1865
oil on canvas
33 x 43.8 cm
On long-term loan from The Winnipeg Foundation; Bequest of Kathleen Burrows Lightcap
Celebrated for his portraits, still lifes, and especially his luxurious flower pieces, Henri Fantin-Latour was associated with some of the leading French painters of the day including Edouard Manet and the artists known as the Impressionists. He was also inspired by seventeenth-century Dutch still-life painting, which can be seen in his compositions featuring splendid arrangements of freshly cut flowers, deftly painted with meticulous colouring and brushwork, and sensitivity to the actual species. In 1863 the French critic Zachary Astruc praised Fantin-Latour's flower paintings as "marvels of colour and artistic sensibility … as compelling as they are charming." Surprisingly, while Fantin-Latour worked and exhibited in Paris for most of his life, the primary market for his floral paintings was in Great Britain not France.
