Recording and playing back screen activity
Xnee, Gnee, Cnee, and Pnee – these strangely named tools record and play back mouse and keyboard actions.
The Xnee tools give users the ability to record mouse movements and keystrokes, replay them on another machine, and thus repeat entries like a macro. Many Linux users developed an interest in screen recorders during the Beryl/ Compiz boom. Another option for preserving desktop results is Xnee, a tool that captures mouse clicks, movements, and key presses by sniffing communications between the X server and X client. If you replay the recorded file on another computer with Xnee, Xnee will repeat the steps.

The Associated Press (AP) is an American multinational nonprofit news agency headquartered in New York City. The AP is owned by its contributing newspapers, radio, and television stations in the United States, all of which contribute stories to the AP and use material written by its staff journalists. The AP staff is represented by the Newspaper Guild union, which operates under the Communication Workers union, which operates under the AFL-CIO.
As of 2007, the news collected by the AP was published and republished by more than 1,700 newspapers, in addition to more than 5,000 television and radio broadcasters. The photograph library of the AP consists of over 10 million images. The Associated Press operates 243 news bureaus and it serves at least 120 countries, with an international staff located worldwide. Associated Press also operates the Associated Press Radio Network, which provides newscasts twice hourly for broadcast and satellite radio and television stations. The AP Radio also offers news and public affairs features, feeds of news sound bites, and long form coverage of major events. Many newspapers and broadcasters outside the United States are AP subscribers, paying a fee to use AP material without being contributing members of the cooperative. That places the unionized AP staff in a position to strongly influence public opinion.
As part of their cooperative agreement with the Associated Press, most member news organizations grant automatic permission for the AP to distribute their local news reports. For example, on page two of every edition of The Washington Post, the newspaper's masthead includes the statement, "The Associated Press is entitled exclusively to use for re-publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and all local news of spontaneous origin published herein."
The AP employs the "inverted pyramid formula" for writing that enables the news outlets to edit a story to fit its available publication area without losing the story's essential meaning and news information.
Cutbacks at longtime U.S. rival United Press International, most significantly in 1993, left the AP as the primary nationally oriented news service based in the United States, although UPI still produces and distributes news stories and photos daily. Other English-language news services, such as Reuters and the English-language service of Agence France-Presse, are based outside the United States.

Associated Press is a not-for-profit news cooperative formed in the spring of 1846 by five daily newspapers in New York City to share the cost of transmitting news of the Mexican-American War by boat, horse express and telegraph. The venture was organized by Moses Yale Beach (1800–68), second publisher of the New York Sun, and agreed to by the Herald, the Courier and Enquirer, the Journal of Commerce and the Express. Some historians[who?] believe that the Tribune joined at this time; documents show it was a member in 1849. The New York Times became a member shortly after its founding in September 1851. Initially known as the New York Associated Press (NYAP), the organization faced competition from the Western Associated Press (1862), which criticized it for monopolistic practices in gathering news and setting prices. An investigation completed in 1892 by Victor Lawson, editor and publisher of the Chicago Daily News, revealed that several principals of the NYAP had entered into a secret agreement with United Press, a rival organization, to share NYAP news and the profits of reselling it. The revelations led to the demise of the NYAP and in December 1892, the Western Associated Press was incorporated in Illinois as the Associated Press. An Illinois Supreme Court decision (Inter Ocean Publishing Co. v. Associated Press) in 1900—that the AP was a public utility and operating in restraint of trade—resulted in AP's move from Chicago to New York City, where corporation laws were more favorable to cooperatives.[citation needed]
When the Associated Press was founded, news became a salable commodity. The invention of the rotary press allowed the New York Tribune in the 1870s to publish 18,000 papers per hour. During the Civil War and Spanish-American War, there was a new incentive to print vivid, on-the-spot reporting. Melville Stone, who had founded the Chicago Daily News in 1875, served as AP General Manager from 1893 to 1921. He embraced the standards of accuracy, impartiality, and integrity. The cooperative grew rapidly under the leadership of Kent Cooper (served 1925–48), who built up bureau staff in South America, Europe and (after World War II), the Middle East. He introduced the "telegraph typewriter" or teletypewriter into newsrooms in 1914. In 1935, AP launched the Wirephoto network, which allowed transmission of news photographs over leased private telephone lines on the day they were taken. This gave AP a major advantage over other news media outlets. While the first network was only between New York, Chicago and San Francisco, eventually AP had its network across the whole United States.[3]
In 1945, the Supreme Court of the United States held in Associated Press v. United States that AP had been violating the Sherman Antitrust Act by prohibiting member newspapers from selling or providing news to nonmember organizations as well as making it very difficult for nonmember newspapers to join the AP. The decision facilitated the growth of its main rival United Press International, headed in 1935-55 by Hugh Baillie.
AP entered the broadcast field in 1941 when it began distributing news to radio stations; it created its own radio network in 1974. In 1994, it established APTV, a global video newsgathering agency. APTV merged with WorldWide Television News in 1998 to form APTN, which provides video to international broadcasters and websites. In 2004, AP moved its world headquarters from its longtime home at 50 Rockefeller Plaza to a huge building at 450 West 33rd Street in Manhattan—which also houses the New York Daily News and the studios of New York's public television station, WNET. In 2009, AP had more than 240 bureaus globally. Its mission —"to gather with economy and efficiency an accurate and impartial report of the news"—has not changed since its founding, but digital technology has made the distribution of the AP news report an interactive endeavor between AP and its 1,400 U.S. newspaper members as well as broadcasters, international subscribers and online customers.
The Associated Press began diversifying its news gathering capabilities and by 2007 AP was generating only about 30% of its revenue from United States newspapers. 37% came from the global broadcast customers, 15% from online ventures and 18% came from international newspapers and from photography.[4]
Web resource[edit]
The AP's multi-topic structure has resulted in web portals such as Yahoo! and MSN posting its articles, often relying on AP as their first source for news coverage of breaking news items. This and the constant updating evolving stories require has had a major impact on the AP's public image and role, giving new credence to the AP's ongoing mission of having staff for covering every area of news fully and promptly. The AP is also the news service used on the Wii's News Channel.[5] In 2007 Google announced it was paying for Associated Press content displayed in Google News.[6] In late 2009 Google stopped displaying or hosting AP content on its news website due to a dispute over their licensing agreement.[7] In mid 2010 Google announced an extension of this agreement has been agreed, allowing AP content to appear again.[8]
Key events timeline[edit]

- 2012: AP revenues continued to slide and losses mount as the company posted a $193.3 million total loss in 2011.
AP sports polls[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (October 2011)
The AP is known for its polls on numerous college sports in the United States. The AP polls ranking the top 25 NCAA Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision) college football and NCAA Division I men's and women's college basketball teams are the most well known. The AP composes the polls by collecting and compiling the top-25 votes of numerous designated sports journalists. The AP poll of college football was particularly notable for many years because it helped determine the ranking of teams at the end of the regular season for the collegiate Bowl Championship Series until the AP, citing conflict of interest, asked for the poll to be removed from the bowl series. Beginning in the 2005 season, the Harris Interactive College Football Poll took the AP's place in the bowl series formula. Despite the invention of the BCS, the AP has maintained its status and is viewed as an equal to the BCS (USC's AP title in 2003). The AP poll is the longest serving national poll in college football, having begun in 1936.
AP sports awards[edit]
The AP began its Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award in 1959, for a manager in each league.[13] From 1984 to 2000, the award was given to one manager in all of MLB.[14] The winners were chosen by a national panel of AP baseball writers and radio men. The award was discontinued in 2001.[13]
Every year, the AP releases the names of the winners of its AP College Basketball Player of the Year and AP College Basketball Coach of the Year awards. It also honors a group of All-American players.
- AP NFL Coach of the Year
- AP NFL Most Valuable Player
- AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year
- AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year
- AP NFL Offensive/Defensive Rookies of the Year
- AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year
Associated Press Television News[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (August 2012)
In 1994, London-based Associated Press Television (APTV) was founded to provide agency news material to television broadcasters. Other existing providers of such material at the time were Reuters Television and Worldwide Television News (WTN).
In 1998, AP purchased WTN and APTV left the Associated Press building in Central London and merged with WTN to create Associated Press Television News (APTN) in the WTN building, now the APTN building in Camden Town.
Litigation and controversies[edit]
AP has been accused of bias and dissemination of American state-sanctioned propaganda on multiple occasions.
Breach of contract and unfair competition[edit]
In November 2010 the Associated Press was sued by iCopyright. iCopyright's lawsuit asserts breach of contract and unfair competition in that the Associated Press launched a copyright-tracking registry, built upon information and business intelligence that the AP misappropriated from iCopyright.[15]
Christopher Newton[edit]
Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Christopher Newton, an Associated Press reporter since 1994, was fired by AP in September 2002 after he was accused of fabricating sources since 2000, including at least 40 people and organizations. Prior to his firing, Newton had been focused on writing about federal law-enforcement while based at the Justice Department. Some of the nonexistent agencies quoted in his stories included "Education Alliance," the "Institute for Crime and Punishment in Chicago," "Voice for the Disabled" and "People for Civil Rights."[16]
Fair use controversies[edit]
In June 2008, the AP sent numerous DMCA take down demands and threatened legal action against several blogs. The AP contended that the internet blogs were violating AP's copyright by linking to AP material and using headlines and short summaries in those links. Many bloggers and experts noted that the use of the AP news fell squarely under commonly accepted internet practices and within fair use standards.[17] Others noted and demonstrated that AP routinely takes similar excerpts from other sources, often without attribution or licenses. AP responded that it was defining standards regarding citations of AP news.[18]
Copyright and intellectual property[edit]
In August 2005, Ken Knight, a Louisiana photographer sued[19] the Associated Press claiming that the AP had willfully and negligently violated Knight's copyright by distributing a photograph of celebrity Britney Spears to various media outlets including, but not limited to: truTV (formerly CourtTV), America Online and Fox News. According to court documents the AP did not have a license to publish, display or relicense the photographs. The case was settled by the parties in November 2006.
In a case filed February 2005, McClatchey v. The Associated Press, a Pennsylvania photographer sued the Associated Press claiming that the AP had cropped a picture to remove the plaintiff's embedded title and copyright notice and later distributed it to news organizations without the plaintiff's permission or credit. According to court documents the parties settled the lawsuit.[20]
In April 2011, Patricia Ann Lopez, a New Mexico courtroom sketch artist, sued the Associated Press claiming that the AP had violated her copyrights by reselling her images without a license and had deceptively, fraudulently and wrongfully passed off the artist's work as its own.[21] According to court documents the AP did not have a license to resell or relicense the images.
Shepard Fairey[edit]
In March 2009, the Associated Press counter-sued artist Shepard Fairey over his famous image of Barack Obama, saying the uncredited, uncompensated use of an AP photo violated copyright laws and signaled a threat to journalism. Fairey had sued the Associated Press the previous month over his artwork, titled "Obama Hope" and "Obama Progress," arguing that he did not violate copyright law because he dramatically changed the image. The artwork, based on an April 2006 picture taken for the AP by Mannie Garcia, was a popular image during the presidential campaign and now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. According to the AP lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan, Fairey knowingly "misappropriated The AP's rights in that image." The suit, which also names Fairey's companies, asks the court to award AP profits made off the image and damages. "While (Fairey and the companies) have attempted to cloak their actions in the guise of politics and art, there is no doubt that they are profiting handsomely from their misappropriation," the lawsuit says. Fairey said he looked forward to "upholding the free expression rights at stake here" and disproving the AP's accusations.[citation needed] In January 2011 this suit was settled with neither side admitting their position was wrong but agreeing to share reproduction rights and profits from Fairey's work.[22]
Hot News[edit]
In January 2008, the Associated Press sued competitor All Headline News (AHN) claiming that AHN allegedly infringed on its copyrights and a contentious 'quasi-property' right to facts.[23][24] The AP complaint asserted that AHN reporters had copied facts from AP news reports without permission and without paying a syndication fee. After AHN moved to dismiss all but the copyright claims set forth by AP, a majority of the lawsuit was dismissed.[25] According to court documents, the case has been dismissed and both parties have settled the lawsuit.[26]
In June 2010 the Associated Press was accused[27] of having unfair and hypocritical policies after it was demonstrated that AP reporters had copied Hot News, original reporting and facts from the "Search Engine Land" website without permission, attribution or credit.[28]
Illegal immigrant[edit]
In April 2013, Associated Press, through a blog entry written by the Associated Press' Senior Vice President and Executive Editor, stated that the Associated Press has dropped the term "illegal immigrant" from its stylebook. The blog stated that the term was dropped due to the term dehumanizing individuals. The Associated Press follows ABC, NBC and CNN in not using the term. Jose Antonio Vargas commended the Associated Press for its decision.[29]
Syndicated writer Ruben Navarrette criticized the decision, stating the reasoning behind the decision was political correctness and called the blog "incomprehensible".[30] Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said of the decision, that she doesn't get involved in "vocabulary wars" and then stated "They are immigrants who are here illegally, that's an illegal immigrant".[31] Comedian Jay Leno said that the term should be replaced with "undocumented Democrat."[31]
Hoax tweet and flash crash[edit]
On April 23, 2013, their Twitter account was hacked to release a hoax tweet about fictional attacks in the White House that left President Obama injured.[32] This erroneous tweet resulted in a brief plunge of 130 points from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, removal of $136 billion from S&P 500 index,[33] and the temporary suspension of their Twitter account. Although all executed trades were considered final, the Dow Jones later restored its session gains.
Justice Department subpoena of phone records[edit]
On May 13, 2013, the Associated Press announced telephone records for 20 of their reporters during a two-month period in 2012, had been subpoenaed by the Justice Department and described these acts as a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into news-gathering operations.[34][35] AP reported the Justice Department would not say why it sought the records, but news sources noted the District of Columbia, US Attorney's office was conducting a criminal investigation into a May 7, 2012, AP story about a CIA operation which prevented a terrorist plot to detonate an explosive device on a commercial flight.[36] The DOJ did not direct subpoenas to the Associate Press, instead to going to their phone providers, including Verizon Wireless.[37] Attorney General Eric Holder testified under oath in front of the House Judiciary Committee that he recused himself from the leak investigations to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Holder said his Deputy Attorney General, James Cole, was in charge of the AP investigation and would have ordered the subpoenas.[38]
Biased reporting[edit]
The AP has been accused by its own journalists in the region of biased reporting on the Middle East. In his book Broken Spring, former AP correspondent Mark Lavie claims that the AP upheld a narrative line in which Arabs and Palestinians were entirely without blame in a conflict where all guilt lay with Israel, even going so far as to refuse to print a 2008 Israeli peace proposal. [39][40][41] Friedman focuses on the causes of the AP's unbalanced reporting, noting both the enormous influence of effectively anti-Israel NGOs such as Human Rights Watch and the UNRWA and the fact that journalists not only socialize with their staff, but move seamlessly back and forth between work as publicists for NGOs and working as journalists for major international news outlets. Moreover, Friedman accuses AP of killing a story he wrote about the "war of words", "between between Israel and its critics in human rights organizations" in the aftermath of the Israel/Gaza conflict of 2008-09. [39] Both Lavie and Friedman specifically accuses the AP of forbidding their reporters to interview Gerald M. Steinberg of NGO Monitor (an NGO that reports on the work of NGOs), Friedman writes that in a job where he interviewed radicals of all kinds, "this professor" was "the only person I ever saw subjected to an interview ban." [39][42] The AP immediately denied the accusation.[43][44][45]
The Associated Press is governed by an elected board of directors.[46]

The AP alleges that in at least 40 of the many hundred stories Newton wrote for the wire service between January 13, 2000 and September 8, 2002, Newton quoted sources who appear not to exist.

Energy Deregulation by States
Electricity Providers in Texas: First Choice Power
A Brief History
First Choice Power is one of several private electric companies located in the state of Texas. Though they have only been a certified Texas electric company since the start of 2001, their history goes back much further, and is closely connected to the story of publically owned utilities and deregulation in the state of Texas.
A Long Standing History
First Choice Power began its life in the early 1900's as TNMP (Texas New Mexico Power). They provided electric and natural gas services to large regions of Texas and New Mexico. They progressed unimpeded for over 70 years, before legislation in the late 1990's began the process of deregulation in the state of Texas. After the legislation was signed into law, First Choice Power became a certified electric provider and continued their proud tradition of servicing the electrical needs of various regions of the Texas and New Mexico area.
Alternative Energy Sources
First Choice Power is one of the few private electric companies in Texas that offers plans that use 100% renewable energy sources to create electricity. These green plans include energy from biofuels, geothermal energy and solar energy, as well as wind and water sources. These energy generation processes not only offer little to no pollution, but they will also never expire or run out.
Serving the Community
First Choice Power is also committed to their local community, through the dispersal of various grants. They currently provide grants for local public school teachers, as part of an energy innovations program designed to generate ideas about energy potential. They also offer "Reduce Your Use" grants, created specifically to assist nonprofit organizations in reducing their nonrenewable energy usage.
Currently serving over a quarter of a million Texans with their electricity and natural gas needs, First Choice Power is still somewhat new to the energy industry, but is still focused on providing consumers with outstanding service at exceptional prices. First Choice Power has built their business model on not only providing a quality product at a reasonable price, but they have also made a commitment to the community and the environment on a fundamental level.

'Ask a Scientist' to share 'Fun with Liquid Nitrogen' in JanuaryDecember 18, 2012
|Dr. J. Erik Hendrickson
EAU CLAIRE — Dr. J. Erik Hendrickson, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, will present "Fun with Liquid Nitrogen" Jan. 16 as part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
The presentation, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 7 p.m. at the Acoustic Café in downtown Eau Claire.
Experiencing cold outside temperatures is a routine part of winter for residents of Wisconsin. But what happens to everyday items when they are exposed to the extreme cold of liquid nitrogen, when the temperature is an extremely cold -321 degrees Fahrenheit?
"When everyday ordinary objects are cooled down to this extremely cold temperature using liquid nitrogen, the objects exhibit interesting properties; they shrink and become brittle," Hendrickson said.
Hendrickson is passionate about science and enjoys sharing his demonstrations with schoolchildren, college students and the general public.
"I am trying to get people interested and excited about science. I think most people who see my shows leave thinking more positively about science and are also more willing to explore science phenomena on their own," Hendrickson said.
The program will consist of a 30-minute presentation, followed by a question-and-answer session facilitated by Hendrickson.
The remaining "Ask a Scientist" presentations for the spring 2013 semester are:
- Feb. 20 — Dr. Matt Jewell, assistant professor, UW-Eau Claire Materials Science Center, "The UW-Eau Claire Materials Science Center."
- March 20 — Justin Vasel, 2011 UW-Eau Claire physics graduate and current physics graduate assistant, University of Minnesota Duluth, "Stealthy Neutrinos and the Search for Exploding Stars."
- April 17 — Dr. Jonathan Gardner, chief, Observational Cosmology Laboratory, Goddard Space Flight Center, "A Scientific Revolution: The Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes."
For more information about the series, contact Dr. Paul Thomas, professor of physics and astronomy, at email@example.com.

and they tended not to be experts at identifying plants, so there was no global picture of how the species, sizes, and spacing of forest plants varied from place to place. Over the next 25 years, Gentry, a scientist with much energy and enthusiasm, and less patience, put that right. He became an expert at getting hold of small amounts of money to fund short expeditions, and he toured the world collecting what came to be known as Gentry plots. He enlisted his colleagues and students in the project and employed locals and their children to measure, collect, and process samples. When he went somewhere to give a talk, he would make time to survey any nearby forest. In total he gathered data from 227 plots on six continents, from Germany to Chile and Madagascar to Australia, measuring and identifying 83,121 plants. He also carried on his work on plant taxonomy, collecting more than 80,000 specimens for the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Gentry's database showed how forests varied with factors such as latitude, altitude, and rainfall. But the project was always more than an academic exercise. Gentry also worked for the environmental organization Conservation International, and invented his surveying technique partly as a quick and cheap way to get a snapshot of forest diversity, to record the loss of species, and to provide information to plan conservation policy. His surveys helped reveal the impact of people on the natural world. In 1975, for example, he visited the Centinela Ridge in the Ecuadorean cloud forest and discovered more than 100 species new to science. The next year the ridge was cleared for timber.
On August 3, 1993, Gentry was back working in the mountains of Ecuador. He missed his flight out of Quito and chartered a small plane to take him and his team on one more collecting trip. Flying through a cloud bank, the pilot misjudged his altitude, caught a treetop, and crashed. Gentry, the pilot, and one other researcher were killed. Before he died, Gentry broke the plane's windows with the poles he used to collect tree samples, allowing another passenger to escape.

Lady Rebels making the most of time off
The time away from the hardwood may have been good for the Lady Rebels. (more…) (January 18, 2013, Page 7A)
Faleru's career game not enough to lift OM
Tia Faleru scored a career-high 24 points while Diara Moore added 17 as the Ole Miss women's basketball team fell to Alabama, 83-75, Sunday afternoon at the C.M. "Tad" Smith Coliseum.
Faleru scored in double figures for the ninth time this year, with her first career 20-point game. On the year, she joins teammates Diara Moore, Valencia McFarland and Gracie Frizzell as Ole Miss (7-10 overall, 0-4 Southeastern Conference) players who have scored a 20-point game this season. (January 14, 2013, Page 8)
Defensive win should lead to happy flight
The Ole Miss Lady Rebels should have a little extra pep in their step when they board their flight for Cleveland, Ohio.
Considering a six-game road trip now awaits the Lady Rebels, Sunday's 63-48 victory over Belmont at C.M. "Tad" Smith Coliseum was especially well received. (December 17, 2012, Page 3B)
OM Lady Rebels gearing up for a busy stretch
After more than a week away from the hardwood, the Lady Rebels are about to be inundated with hoops.
Starting Sunday with a home game against Belmont, the Ole Miss women's basketball team will set forth playing four games in seven days. (more…) (December 14, 2012, Page 7A)
Ole Miss' Faleru sparks comeback
The Ole Miss Lady Rebels felt like they took a real step forward last week despite falling at Louisiana Tech.
During the first half of Saturday's home game against UMass, Ole Miss' women's basketball team didn't show any glimpse that it had turned the corner; in fact, the Lady Rebs almost looked like they had regressed.
And then the second half happened. (more…) (December 10, 2012, Page 3B)
Lady Rebs hope to have grown from La. Tech loss
Ole Miss didn't come away from last Saturday's jam-packed game at Louisiana Tech with a win, but the Lady Rebels did feel like they grew from the narrow 57-54 loss, which was played in front of 4,785 fans. (December 7, 2012, Page 6A)
Frank hopes OM can shoot out of funk
The Ole Miss Lady Rebels have been rather off the mark this season from long range.
Heading into Saturday's 2 p.m. home appointment with UMass, Ole Miss' women's hoops team ranks last in the Southeastern Conference in 3-point percentage at 23.6 percent. (more…) (December 6, 2012, Page 11)
Lady Rebels show rust in victory
Ole Miss' seven-day layoff showed Tuesday evening. (more…) (November 28, 2012, Page 6)
Lady Rebels look to shake off rust tonight
Tonight will provide the first opportunity for the new-look Ole Miss women's basketball team to show how it bounces back after a loss. (more…) (November 27, 2012, Page 6)
McFarland can't lead Lady Rebs past Lamar
Acting head coach Brett Frank has said several times Valencia McFarland's job is to ensure wins by showing up in multiple areas on the score sheet.
Monday, Ole Miss' All-Southeastern Conference guard barely found her way onto the scoresheet as the Lady Rebels fell to Lamar 85-71 at the C.M. "Tad" Smith Coliseum.
In 29 minutes, the junior registered just three points on 1 of 8 shooting from the floor. (November 20, 2012, Page 8)

Paging the NBC psychologist: David Gregory asks if Bush/Blair are responsible for radicalizing terrorists
**Written by Doug Powers
Check me if my memory is off, but the 9/11 attacks happened before U.S., U.K. and others went into Iraq, right?
From Mediaite:
On Meet the Press Sunday morning, host David Gregory challenged former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to defend his and former President George W Bush's decision to switch focus from the war in Afghanistan to the one in Iraq, asking if that simultaneously diverted resources from fighting the Taliban while radicalizing terrorist groups in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East.
"Isn't the legacy of your leadership and that of President Bush in part responsible for the reality today?" Gregory asked. "Did the west fail to deal with the extremism you talk about today appropriately in Afghanistan in a sustainable way?"
"I think we did," Blair said. "But I think we've got to recognize something very, very seriously. This is a long battle…This ideology is not going to be defeated by an engagement in Afghanistan, in Iraq, or even in these individual arenas. It's going to be defeated over a long period of time."
"We make a huge error when we end up thinking somehow it's our actions that caused this," Blair said.
Somebody give the NBC psychological consultant a call. Maybe they can talk it through after today's Rorschach test.

I love this 50s style with a little modernizing. The style is from November 2012 issue. The front tucks on the dress gives it a very slimming look and the high funnel collar and front slit draw the eye to the decolletage.
I modified the style by using a flare skirt that is longer in the middle front and back and is shorter at the sides. The hemline is embellished with a white lace.
The style requires a stretch wool fabric but I used stretch velvet instead because I was unable to get the wool.
Velvet is really not my thing because it is not an easy fabric to work with. Despite the challenges I am totally pleased with the look and the style.

I really like your version of this 50's pattern. I guess you live in a country where it doesn't get too cold in the winter, just like where I do in Brisbane, Australia and I wouldn't use wool either. So the stretch velvet was a beautiful replacement. I think you have given this pattern a totally new look with the velvet and it looks great.
Nov 24, 2013, 12.14 AMby kisses
Thanks Schnui…I live in Jamaica…in the winter it is cold but not too cold., so using wool would make me too hot in the day. I bet Australia is nice and beautiful

Dr. Brian David Strahl is presently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill). He also holds a secondary faculty appointment in UNC's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and is currently the Faculty Director of the High-Throughput Peptide Synthesis and Arraying core facility (UNC HTPSA) and act as the Director of Graduate Studies in his home department.
Brian Strahl studied at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where he finished his two bachelor's degrees in Chemistry and Biology in 1993. It was in his college years where he became interested in biological research and became involved in several undergraduate research studies in the Chemistry and Biology Departments. In Chemistry, he studied under the mentorship Dr. Bruce Banks, where he investigated the enzymatic properties of lipase in organic solvents while in Biology, he was mentored by Dr. Julian Lombardi. In Dr. Julian Lombardi's lab, he discovered a new approach and method to examine the dry mass content of extremely small volumes of biological fluid using a state-of-the-art ultra microbalance. This method allowed the evaluation of nutrients contained in the small volumes of embryonic fluid found in live bearing sharks to study their developmental regulation – for which little was known at the time.
In 1993, Brian Strahl enrolled in the Department of Biochemistry at North Carolina State University to complete his doctorate degree. He studied under the mentorship of Dr. William L. Miller and in his lab Brian sought to understand how the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone-Beta (FSHß) gene is regulated at the transcriptional level. His efforts resulted in a new understanding for how the transcription factor AP-1 mediates FSHß gene activation through PKC. His work also showed that Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) functions to control FSHß gene activation through PKC and AP-1. His work provided new insights into the regulation of this critical hormone. In 1998, Dr. Brian Strahl completed his doctorate degree and then moved on to perform his postdoctoral studies under the mentorship of Dr. C. David Allis at the University of Virginia's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics. He contributed to the identification and characterization of lysine and arginine histone methyltransferases. In addition, Dr. Strahl, together with David Allis, coined the 'Histone Code' hypothesis – which aimed to provide an explanation for how multiple histone modifications function together to regulate chromatin structure and function.
In December of 2001, Dr. Strahl started his own laboratory at University of North Carolina. His lab is focused on deciphering the role of histone modifications – such as lysine methylation, lysine ubiquitination and lysine acetylation – in chromatin function. Using yeast and human cells as model systems, together with his colleagues, they are determining the role of a number of histone-modifying enzymes and how they contribute to gene regulation and heterochromatin formation. His recent work has discovered how histone H3 lysine 9 methylation is critical for the maintenance of DNA methylation in human cells. Moreover, the Strahl laboratory demonstrated that UHRF1, a E3 ubiquitin ligase, binds to methylated histone H3 using several of its histone-interacting domains to help recruit the DNA maintenance methylase DNMT1. These studies have led to new insights into how combinatorial histone modifications contribute to chromatin function.

Poor little victims
BBC NEWS | Politics | Asbos 'to criminalise youngsters'
Children's Society policy director Kathy Evans told BBC News Online: "Youngsters being stigmatised as being the problem, is a problem in itself."
And National Youth Agency development officer Bill Badham accused ministers of "stoking the fear of crime".
Sorry if you are going to use the horrible word "Criminalise" don't blame the results of the criminalisation activity blame the horrible toerags who commit crimes. If they don't do it they won't get blamed for it - and it sin't courts handing out sentences that stoke the fear of crime its the bloody criminals.
And don't forget for all the middle class concern, it is the neighbours and peers of these scrotes who suffer, not nice people who run Societies from leafy parts of London.

General Mills Considering Expansion In CR
CEDAR RAPIDS (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- General Mills is looking into expanding its Cedar Rapids facility, a move that would create 40 new jobs.
The Cedar Rapids City Council is considering sponsoring a state financial assistance application for the company to increase production at the plant. Financial assistance would come mainly from State Investment Tax Credits. The Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance assisted in preparing the state application, which will be sent to the Iowa Economic Development Authority.
The expansion would involve converting about 10,000 square feet of warehouse space to food-grade manufacturing space. Pending approval of the application and final decision of General Mills, construction would begin in mid-2014, and be completed in early 2015.

Most of us don't think twice when we turn on the faucet to grab to get a glass of water or use the hose to water our gardens. We take for granted that the water will be flowing and that it will be clean and safe to drink. Those simple acts are made possible by an incredible chain of events that links our entire state with our oceans and drives some of the key environmental issues of our time.
Clean drinking water is one of the most rare and precious resources on the earth, yet we typically use it with little regard. Following a drop of our water from its origin, through its use to its disposal reveals an expensive and often wasteful journey and makes it clear we could be using water more wisely. Fortunately, we can alter this pattern by using the classic mantra reduce, reuse and recycle to fundamentally reduce our water consumption and solve ocean pollution issues at the same time.

I am not sure what is going on in this city when it comes to medians. Sometimes I think they need to come with instructions. In my experience, it seems like people either aren't sure how to use them properly or are simply afraid to. I find both a bit annoying, not to mention quite hazardous.
I noticed this a long time ago, and every time I go to the grocery store. I always shop at the smallest grocery store in town, whichever one that happens to be, and this has changed drastically over the years. I do this simply to get in and out as quickly as possible. I find grocery shopping a very annoying chore, and try to do as little of it as possible.

India recriminalized homosexuality last year
Up to 2,000 people yesterday (23 November) protested India's anti-gay laws at Bangalore pride, the first since the country recriminalized homosexuality in December last year.
After an hour delay, hundreds of people set off from the city railway station for the sixth Bengaluru Pride March and Karnataka Queer Habba in India's third largest city, in Karnataka state.
Unlike previous years, the parade was redirected through the conservative Malleswaram district and most marchers decided not to wear eye masks or cover their faces, despite the law.
The former chief justice responsible for the landmark judgement in 2009 says the criminalization of gay sex in effect 'offend(s) the dignity of a person'
Homosexuality is neither a disease, nor is it punishable under any penal laws, Justice Ajit Prakash Shah, who authored the judgment that decriminalized homosexuality as chief justice of the Delhi High Court in 2009, said on Friday.
The Delhi High Court's historic judgement which decriminalized gay sex was overturned by the Supreme Court on December 11, 2013. The bench ruled that it is for Parliament and not the court to repeal section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
India's Supreme Court rejected the notion it had committed a 'grave error of judgement' when it recriminalized homosexuality
India's Supreme Court has rejected an appeal urging a review on the recent judgement banning gay sex.
The central government urged the Supreme Court to 'avoid grave miscarriage of justice to thousands of LGBT people'.
They suggested there were a number of 'grave errors of law in the judgement', and failed to consider the colonial-era law violates the right to health of men who have sex with men.
But the judges dismissed the petitions signed by the government and rights activists, saying the judgement will stay and India will continue to ban gay sex.
Naz Foundation is seeking a stay on the Supreme Court's judgment
The NGO that drove the Delhi High Court to allow consensual adult gay sex in 2009 is now taking on the Indian Supreme Court.
Naz Foundation, an NGO committed to bringing down HIV, filed on Tuesday a review petition in the Supreme Court against its recent ruling that set aside the lower court's order of decriminalizing homosexuality.
The Supreme Court of India has set aside a 2009 Delhi High Court ruling that legalized homosexuality, passing the issue back to lawmakers to deal with in a major setback for LGBTI rights in India
India's Supreme Court has found the country's colonial era Section 377 anti-sodomy law legal – potentially seeing a return to the criminalization of India's LGBTI community.
The Supreme Court justices said that Indian society was not yet ready for the law to be repealed and handed the issue back to lawmakers to deal with.
'It is for the legislature to look into desirability of deleting section 377,' Supreme Court justices G S Singhvi and S J Mukhopadhaya ruled.
On Monday, Mumbai's LGBT community celebrates Delhi High Court's 2009 ruling, but a question mark still hangs over the appeal in the Supreme Court
LGBT rights activists in Mumbai are planning a celebration on Monday (2 July) to commemorate three years since the decriminalization of homosexuality in India.
The organizers of Queer Azaadi Mumbai (the city's Pride celebration) are inviting the community to display rainbow flags, wear pride accessories or 'just pray to mother nature for a rainbow in the sky'.
Delhi Supreme Court hearing into the decriminalisation of gay sex continues
There are 2.5 million gay men in India, 0.2% of the 1.2 billion population , according to figures from the National Aids Council.
The figures were presented to Delhi Supreme Court yesterday in response to an affidavit during the current case re-examining the high court 2009's decriminalisation of gay sex.
Law school's report says that LGBT people have 'increased self-confidence' since 2009's decriminalisation of gay sex
A report from a top law school in India has found there's been greater societal acceptance and a decrease of police harassment of LGBT people since the decriminalisation of gay sex in 2009.

Exploitation along class and ethnic lines is played for laughs in Ruben Alves' debut feature, "The Gilded Cage," with just enough solidarity beneath the humor to give this feel-good pic a certain piquancy. Alves explores the intriguing question of what constitutes home for a family of Portuguese immigrant workers who have long acclimated to French culture, while also delivering a salutary kick in the pants to the uptight haute bourgeoisie a la Philippe Le Guay's "The Women on the 6th Floor," with much of that film's energetic thesping but little of its cinematic elan. A box office bonanza in France and Portugal, this bubbling crowdpleaser could score globally.
Their innate kindness, fierce dedication to their work and inability to say no have allowed a Portuguese couple to smoothly run a swanky Parisian apartment building for many years. Quiet, indomitable Maria Ribeiro (Rita Blanco, a mainstay of numerous Portuguese »
