Indian Gaming: The Big Players Indian gaming is now a $6-billion industry, although the explosive growth of this segment has slowed. According to figures from the Indian Gaming Commission, the federal agency that regulates Indian gaming, at the beginning of 1998 there were 186 tribes operating 276 gaming operations in 28 states, ranging from Arizona to Wisconsin. The figures are a little deceptive, however, because only 70 facilities are considered "Class III"--those that may operate casino ...

- You may consider your cell phone or smart phone a life-saver, bringing instant communication at your fingertips. But your cell phone can also be used to spy on you, without you even realizing it. Spyware can get onto your phone through an email or text message with a trojan horse, or through a computer connected to your phone when you're not looking. CBS 11 in Dallas reports the spyware can then turn on your cell phone's microphone and allow someone to listen in to your conversations with someone else in a room -- even when you're not on your phone. Experts say up to six million of the estimated 200 million cell phones in the U.S. could be infected. Research in Motion, maker of the smartphone used by most federal employees, says its phones are designed with a number of application controls to make it more difficult for spyware to be placed on its phones... Difficult, but not impossible.
- The federal cybersecurity landscape could be changing in big ways. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has approved a bill to revamp laws aimed at protecting government systems. The Federal Information Security Amendments Act would lock in a permanent federal cybersecurity coordinator and chief technology officer. It would also require agencies to monitor their networks in real-time, and eliminate the need for managers to file periodic paperwork that certifies compliance with an existing information security law -- FISMA. The bill now goes to the full House floor.

As you know, it's not my favorite holiday, so I don't go all out on it or make a big deal over it. Christmas is coming as well, and although it's bigger than thanksgiving, it's still mostly another day to me. The presents get crappier every year. It goes from awesome toys as a kid, to clothes? Bah! I'll take the toys!
There was also Black Friday that happened. Lots of people bum rushed the stores for the sales, and a lot of people got hurt. Made me thankful that I just don't care that much about a sale. I like my life and good health a bit more.
Anyways, so how was your Thanksgiving? Did you have some turkey, or something else? And most of all, was it fun?!

Film review: 'Shutter Island'
Date: February 24, 2010
by: Pam Nadon | Film critic
Martin Scorsese is "the definitive filmmaker of our time." A scholar of cinema, his movies are always clearly unique and yet echo some of the greatest films ever made. His new release, "Shutter Island," is a nerve-shattering head spinner that will mess with your mind long after exiting the theater.
In 1954, two U.S. Marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), are assigned to investigate the disappearance of a child murderer from a prison/hospital for the criminally insane. Shutter Island, miles off the coast of Boston, is accessible only by boat and houses only the most violent mental patients.
From the get-go, subtle clues are delicately dropped pertaining to Teddy's perception of reality. He is haunted by dreams of his dead wife (Michelle Williams), and they are deeply disturbing. If that's not sufficiently spooky, he also has horrific flashbacks of liberating Dachau. The prison medical director, Dr. Cawley (the ever charming Ben Kingsley), treats everyone as though they're a potential patient and that doesn't sit well with the fragile G-man.
The pressures within the dark halls of the asylum are reflective of those on the outside. Concerns regarding experimental psychotropic drug therapy and lobotomies somewhat parallel those of Cold War paranoia, HUAC hearings and the A-bomb. Scorsese mandates that his audience pay strict attention to details, lest it be lost in the quagmire of Shutter Island's seduction.
Scorsese, admittedly, is hugely influenced by the works of Alfred Hitchcock, and it's abundantly evident in "Shutter Island." Stunning visuals and exquisite imagery are as riveting as the unsettling subject matter. Employing Hitchcock's signature point-of-view shots intensely enhance the dichotomy existing within each character's psyche.
A slew of stars (perfectly cast by the ever-astute Ellen Lewis) give exceptional performances. Many have little screen time but leave an indelible impact. Max von Sydow, Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson, Jackie Earle Haley, Ted Levine and Elia Koteas together manage in scaring socks off. DiCaprio, an actor who has evolved into one of the greatest artists in the business, gives the best performance of his career in this film.
At the end of "Shutter Island," the question is asked, "Is it better to live as a monster or die a good man?" I didn't quite get it. But I did get the feeling that this extraordinary piece of filmmaking definitely deserved a second viewing, as do all of Scorsese's movies.

Asimov's, July 2014
by Sheila Williams
My rating: ★★★★☆
Read From: 23 May 2014 – 25 May 2014
Goal: Flotsam & Jetsam
The Legion of Tomorrow by Allen M. Steele—Kate Morressy meets the enigmatic "Legion of Tomorrow." Although at first glance this puzzling organization, of which her grandfather was a member, seems to simply represent science fiction's rich past and a link to someone she didn't know all that well. As she learns more about their goals and why they contacted her, it soon becomes clear that their plans for the future may offer humanity's best shot at an adventuresome new day.
This story felt old-fashioned, in the best possible way. It was a fictionalized history of the SF movement, with the Legion of Tomorrow referencing, and briefly meeting, real-life super group, the Futurians. And it was a story about the possibilities that SF writers are always itching to turn into realities.
Blood Wedding by Robert Reed—The war between life and machines, between bio enhancement and cyborgs, turns all too real. Two men, two families, each representing one pole, have striven against each other for many years. Finally, it all comes to a head at the Blood Wedding.
Short Stories
The Woman From the Ocean by Karl Bunker—What's the smallest possible change you could make to humanity, to end war? Kali found out. Years earlier, she left Earth, with a group attempting to colonize another planet. They failed and had to return to Earth.
After crash landing in the ocean, she found that the world had changed, because of a virus that made one, small, change in human behavior. The virus altered humanity so that people could only imagine belonging to concrete groups (the people they knew and interacted with) and not to abstract groups (strangers who share common attributes). The result was no more us, no more them; no more tribalism or nationalism; no more reason to fight in large groups. That small change in humanity led to massive change in society, technology, and art.
Eat or Be Eaten by Sheila Williams—Asimov's editor shares her strong dislike of stories featuring intelligent beings eating other intelligent beings, whether aliens eating humans, humans eating aliens, or straight up cannibalism. I quite agree with her here and I'd be be very happy if she continued to deep-six whichever submissions she receives along those lines.
Was Jules Verne a Science Fiction Writer? by Robert Silverberg—Ask any SF fan or author if Jules Verne was the "father of science-fiction" and they'll almost unanimously agree that he was. Silverberg was "stunned" to find out that William Butcher, one of today's preeminent Verne scholars, doesn't think he was.
Verne is not a science fiction writer: most of his books contain no innovative science. … Verne himself was categorical: 'I am not in any way the inventor of submarine navigation.' He even claimed he was 'never specifically interested in science,' only in using it to create dramatic stories in exotic parts; and indeed his reputation as a founding father of science fiction has led to a major obfuscation of his literary merits.
Silverberg reviews the evidence and finds little reason to agree with Butcher. And, if Verne didn't consider himself a "science-fiction" author, that's only because the term wasn't invented until several decades after his death.
Why doesn't Butcher acknowledge Verne as an SF writer? Simple literary bigotry, according to Silverberg.
One big clue is contained in a sentence of Butcher's that I quote above: "Indeed his reputation as a founding father of science fiction has led to a major obfuscation of his literary merits." Butcher, a central figure in Verne studies for many years whose translations are generally accepted as the best in the field, has a vested interest in rescuing Verne from the taint of science fiction, which evidently he regards as trash. It's the old critical cliché: "If it's science fiction, it can't be literature."
I'm doubly indebted to Silverberg for this essay. I found out where to look for today's best translations of Verne's novels. And I found a passionate defense of Verne's bona fides as a pioneer of the SF genre.
On Books by Norman Spinrad—Spinrad leads off this column with a defense of the idea that cultures should be forward looking and that speculative fiction is an important part of that cultural orientation. He then talks about the difference between speculative fiction and modern "sci-fi". Whatever you think of the reviewed books (and I thought several of them sounded very interesting indeed), this introduction is well worth reading.
My Take
This was a very good issue. I found both a novella and a novelette that I enjoyed, as well as a thought-provoking short story. Norman Spinrad's "On Books" column gave me a good definition of speculative fiction and Silverberg's column was worth saving as well.

Peter Cushing
Ingrid Pitt
Yutte Stensgaard
With all the hubbub about sexy vampires these days, courtesy of Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, it's time to take a short stroll down memory lane to the "golden age" of vampire lesbian cinema with Hammer's so-called "Karnstein Trilogy."
The first of the series, The Vampire Lovers, starred beautiful Polish actress Ingrid Pitt, who had previously played Elizabeth Bathory in Countess Dracula for Hammer. In The Vampire Lovers, Pitt played Carmilla Karnstein, the literary prototype for all vampire lesbians, a character created by author J. Sheridan Le Fanu in 1872. I saw the film on a late night "chiller theater" TV slot in the mid-Seventies and while its actually a pretty decent, serviceable period piece horror film, uh, whatever... let's get real here, the real attraction were the bare breasts of Ms. Pitt and crew! Without them no one would remember this film at all.
But ask any guy who grew up in the Seventies —and a few gals, too, of course— who watched horror movies and they will know all about this film and its two sequels, which were often aired—astonishingly—with the nude scenes intact. Back in the Seventies, this was a cause for celebration for teenage boys. I used to scour the TV Guide searching for weird things to watch and whenever there was a screening of one of these films, I can assure you that I didn't have anything better to do that night!
The second film in the Karnstein Trilogy was 1971's Lust for a Vampire starring blond Danish hottie Yutte Stensgaard. Again, ask any middle-aged guy in America or England who watched horror films as a kid and… they will know the name Yutte Stensgaard, who is seen bare-breasted and smeared with blood in the film.
A still from this scene made frequent appearances in monster movie books and magazines devoted to the genre, providing masturbatory fodder for an entire generation of horror film geeks (Sidestepping the implications of this matter entirely, here Stensgaard is seen signing it at a fan convention).
I love the tagline in the trailer: "Welcome to the finishing school where they really DO finish you…"
Twins of Evil was the final entrant in the series. Twins of Evil starred identical twin Playboy Playmates Mary and Madeline Collinson. It was a sort of pre-quel to the first film and starred Peter Cushing. Aside from just Sapphic twin vampires (you think this would be enough, but no…), Twins of Evil had themes of witchcraft and devil worship, so it was an extra campy Hammer entry. The Collinson twins turned out to be such bad actresses that their voices were overdubbed in post production.

Performance vs Error Checking
Hi everyone, Vlad here!
Seems like on a thing versus some other thing rampage with Application Design vs Game Design shortly followed by this post. I guess that's a good thing, it means there are challenges and doubts and that we need to research.
This post is also inspired by some books I've been reading lately and that I highly recommend: The Productive Programmer that was influenced by The Pragmatic Programmer.
Problem #1
We are writing code and there's not such thing as writing code without bugs. Sometimes our oldest, most used code, that code that we trust each of our games with gets into a specific spot where a hidden bug appears and we spend hours and hours figuring out what's happening.
Solution #1 is Problem #2
There are several solutions to this. Writing code that includes testing is in my opinion the best. The problem with this, game development wise and specifically in scripted languages such as AS3, is that this makes the code much slower. The solution was checking for inconsistencies and not performing operations instead of throwing errors and exceptions.
I ended up creating conditions for use. For instance our blit package uses three different types: the core, the object and the texture. The core keeps the state of the whole system, the object keeps the state of what and where to render and the texture keeps the state of BitmapData. If the object did not have a texture it would simply not render. Sounds pretty cool, right?
To be honest… wrong…
Problem #2.1
First problem was the times where the position had NaN value instead of a Number. This rarely happened but every time it did it was a huge headache to identify why and then track the source of the bug down. While this seems unrelated, the fact was the it looked like the texture did not exist. So I had to check if the texture was created, if it was passed, if it was there at all and the worst part was that if the texture was there as it should, where the hell was the problem?
Problem #2.2
Performance wise checking if there is a texture is absolutely dumb! 99% of the times there is a texture present. More, the object class has a visible variable. If the object does not have a texture why is it visible in the first place?
So while apparently I solved a problem by checking if the texture was present and not performing any blit operation if it wasn't, the truth is that both performance wise (not that serious by the way, it's just a if statement) and the unwanted problems it induced in the code backfired from time to time.
I spread this type of behavior through the code. While one if statement does not have a large impact in performance, a lot of checking piles up and I had a lot!
Solution #2
A short story and a riddle both taken from those books that explain my thoughts on the 'final' (we'll see about that!) solution for these problems.
The first one was when one of the authors was hired as a consultant for a development project where the coders sent broken code to the version control system. What he did was to create a routine where the version control server would compile the code that was pushed. Every time the compilation didn't work the server would send an email with the error. With the amount of mail with errors constantly piling up on mailboxes, one of the coders asked if there was a way of not getting that much email. The consultant replied: "Sure, don't push code with errors!"
The riddle is… what code takes not time to be executed? The one that is not compiled.
So the solution is to write code that allows zero error tolerance while not compiling it. The way to achieve this is with conditional compilation which can be used in several way but these are the ones I believe the most useful is to use code blocks, like this:
private function someFunction():void {
CONFIG::debug {
// Development code
CONFIG::release {
// Final code
// Both dev and final code
Inside the same function, different code is compiled depending on the current configuration. We can have several checks with exceptions and errors being thrown and then have a 'don't check at all' version in the release configuration.
This is a two stage solution really. On one hand every time I do something stupid, I get errors so my code has to be perfectly implemented at least when it comes to our framework. On the other hand the same code that make me code as best as I can is also the code that does not run in the final version.

I love documentaries. And I'm suggesting that if you see only one documentary this summer, you make it "...and this is my garden". It's not new. It's not big budget (how many documentaries are, though?). But it's fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!
Actually, I cried as I watched it. It's not a sad story at all - on the contrary, it's about an entire community that benefits when its children are taught to tend their own gardens. This is a film about the earth, community, wisdom sharing, food, and self sufficiency, but I can't describe how uplifting it truly is. After seeing it, I was energized and hopeful and really overwhelmed by the beauty of what can be accomplished with nothing more than water, sunlight, and care.
You must check it out for yourself! We've got it in our catalogue, and here's the film's website.
I'm reading French Kids Eat Everything (and Yours Can, Too): How our Family Moved to France, Cured Picky Eating, Banned Snacking, and Discovered 10 Simple Rules for Raising Happy, Healthy Eaters by Karen Le Billon, and it's fascinating! It's much more than a manual to cure picky eating and family food fights. It's an insightful examination of attitudes towards food, eating, and nourishment, and how they differ between the French model and the American (and by extension, Canadian) model.
I'm young (for a little while longer, at least) and single (likely for eternity) and it's my prerogative to eat dinner alone, standing over the sink. Or sitting on the couch, channel flipping. Or at midnight. Or twice. Because there's no one watching me, my eating routines lack both a social component and a sense of restraint. According to the author's mother-in-law, my normal habits are a recipe for obesity. So, apparently, is snacking, using food as a reward or punishment, allowing your children to dictate what or when they'll eat, and eating at any place other than the table, surrounded by your family.
Le Billon observes that French parents are firmly in control and by refusing to let their children eat the same thing every day, or complain about the food they're given, French children wind up eating a wider and much more balanced range of foods. They are more willing to try new foods, and they don't whine or throw hunger induced tantrums. Even children 5 or 6 years of age will sit patiently in a restaurant, while their parents linger over a nice long meal. This is because French children are taught that food is exciting and interesting; part of a familial set of rituals; and an aspect of their national identity about which to be proud.
It's a very far cry from exasperatedly stuffing greasy McNuggets into the whining maw of an angry 7 year old, en route to a hockey practice.
Check out this book whether you have children or not. As long as you're someone who eats, it will provide you with lots of interesting ideas. Food for thought, if you will.
I noticed a woman on the C-Train, jotting down the title, as I read. We started chatting and it turns out she is French. She said that in her family, they always made sure to eat together at the table, at a very precise time. Sure enough, she was slim. Maybe the French are on to something...
A colleague of mine is pregnant and was recently flipping through a baby name book. There were classic names like Victoria and Katherine; Biblical names like Joshua and Daniel; no nick-name names like Claire and Emily, and tons of other categories. From Aida to Zoltan, nearly every conceivable name was listed.
I happen to believe that names are hugely important in determining an individual's success. Can you really argue that a Misty will be taken as seriously as an Elizabeth? Who's likely to be the CEO: a Robert or a Timmy? Names suggest age, capability, and even social status.
For an interesting exploration of "white names" versus "black names", check out the chapter about names in Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.
If you don't want your son to go through school being one of the four Liams in his class, then check out this link for information about Alberta's most popular baby names.
Finally, browse section 929.44 in your local library branch. We've got lots of baby name books! If you're not expecting yet, then use them to choose a name for a character in your next novel, or maybe even the cat or dog you just adopted. Think beyond Fifi and Rex!
One of my goals is to manage my money more effectively. So I typically browse through basic books or blogs on budgeting (spot the alliteration, kids!). In the reams of top 20 lists and collections of tidbits and tips, one piece of advice resounds again and again: use your library. Libraries allow you to borrow books for free, but it's much more than that. Here are some more ways that your library allows you to stay frugal:
Libraries might encourage you to cancel your magazine or newspaper subscriptions, because many of these can be read online, with your library card. You might decide to borrow a movie rather than renting one, or perhaps you'll attend a free screening in the library's theatre. You might learn a new skill by attending a free program – perhaps one about budgeting – or renting an instructional DVD. You could use library books or databases to learn about fixing a car, bike or appliance, and spare yourself the cost of buying a new one. Explore our collections about cooking and learn to prepare healthy, frugal meals. Home cooking is a huge opportunity to exercise frugality! Attend some of the library's special programs and speak with a lawyer, doctor, or career coach, for free! Check out the program guide for free concerts, and free access to our Writer in Residence.
Not all of our entertainment and enjoyment need be expensive. In fact, the library is a great place in which to instill a sense of frugality in your children. And children who have a sense of how money can be saved in simple ways will be well on their way to managing money when they're adults.
From the very beginning, parents are faced with countless decisions.
What to eat when pregnant? What to name the bundle of joy? How to discipline with love?
When I was a grade 7 student, I was sent home from school with a survey for my parents to fill out. The school was interested in knowing which methods of discipline were being used at home. Interestingly enough, my mother left the survey blank. At that point in our household, there wasn't any discipline to speak of, really. I was lucky, insofar as we simply "talked it out" whenever there was a problem. For some parents, however, the question is how to win the war without beating (literally!) the kids.
The next time you're at your library, browse our collection for resources about parenting.
We've got hundreds of books, an enormous range of magazines, new DVDs, and an e-library filled with thousands of academic articles. We've even got free programs for your wee ones!
So, will you spank? Take away privileges? Impose a curfew? Talk things through? The way that you discipline your children could influence their mental and emotional health for years. Visit your library and make informed decisions about parenting.

Over 100 arrests in Warsaw
Over 100 arrests were made as Polish and Russian football fans clashed in Warsaw ahead of the two nations' Euro 2012 Group A tieRead the full story
Poland reaction
– Poland captain Jakub Blaszczykowski
When you score an equaliser like that it gives really good energy to the team. [Franciszek] Smuda got his tactics spot on and we followed them through on the pitch. We're still in contention and if we win our final game we're through. We'll fight until the end.
– Poland captain Jakub Blaszczykowski
We've proved we can play a good game and achieve good results. The supporters can make a difference and we must believe in ourselves. If we have the attitude and get energy from the fans we can show them that we deserve their support.
Advocaat bemoans lucky equaliser
Russia coach Dick Advocaat said that he was happy with his side's performance in their 1-1 draw against Poland, and suggested that his opponents' equalising goal from captain Jakub Blaszczykowski was somewhat fortunate.
– Dick Advocaat, speaking to Rossiya 2
As far as the goal we conceded is concerned, if Blaszczykowski shoots 100 times from that position he'll score once.
Keeping the peace
Dick Advocaat says he only just heard about the violence outside Poland v Russia. UEFA again put a stop to questions about it. #euro2012
Russia players react to draw with Poland
– Andrey Arshavin on the Rossiya 2 TV channel
We played quite open in the second half and allowed the Poles to play on the counter, which they like to do. Unfortunately they scored with their one chance. We were a little bit tired in the second half I think. We couldn't create the necessary pressure on their goal.
– Roman Shirokov, speaking to Rossiya 2
I wouldn't say that the Poles attacked dangerously...they gave us territory and played on the counter-attack. We didn't play particularly convincingly in attack. We often gave the ball away...Everything will be decided in the final match.
Highlights: Poland 1-1 Russia
Jakub Blaszczykowski's magnificent equaliser salvaged a crucial point for co-hosts Poland against Russia in their Group A clashRead the full story
Thumbs up for Poland
A good event with focus on the football
We saw the best of Poland in the second-half, even if they didn't manage to get a crucial second goal. Russia were incredibly wasteful in the final third as they struggled to create chances despite getting in good positions, which also cost them a goal.

Despite the summit agreement, it will be a while before the ESM is authorized to buy Italian bonds. Germany still holds the key.
July 1, 2012 Leave a comment
On Friday Angela Merkel got the Bundestag approval she was seeking. Germany approved the Fiscal Compact and the ESM. Germany views the Fiscal Compact as a way to enforce austerity in the periphery countries.
FT: – … the Bundestag passed the fiscal compact with 491 of 608 votes cast and the ESM with 493 of 604 votes, giving Ms Merkel a comfortable two-thirds majority which she needed for passage of each bill.
This vote was already planned and had nothing to do with the summit. But Merkel had to defend her decision to concede on direct bank bailouts and the use of the ESM to buy sovereign paper. Her argument is that the ESM has by no means been given a blanket bailout authority.
FT: – "There will be conditionality," she added. A country such as Italy would have to apply for market intervention and sign a memorandum of understanding based on the European Commission's recommendations before bond-buying would be approved in the primary market.
It basically means that nations will sill need to apply for a bailout just as they had to do prior to the summit. The stigma associated with the process will still be there. The difference is that the mechanism for such bailouts would assure a (supposedly) rapid approval and a direct response. But the Germans can still "veto" potential actions by the ESM going forward.
And Germany's unease with the summit agreement is already visible. The opposition politicians are unhappy about both the direct bank bailouts and the sovereign paper purchases.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed victory in Israel's national election, but his his victory is by a narrower margin than expected. Netanyahu's Party won 31 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, and with his coalition of other parties, he is expected to get to a majority to remain Prime Minister. But the more moderate parties are reportedly expected to have more influence as a result of this election outcome.
BBC: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to form "as broad a government as possible" after his alliance won a narrow election victory.
Addressing supporters at his party's headquarters in Tel Aviv, Mr Netanyahu said he believed the result created "an opportunity for change".
Exit polls suggest Mr Netanyahu's right-wing Likud-Beitenu bloc will have 31 seats in parliament – a sharp drop from 42.

Israelis go to the Polls; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Widely Expected to Prevail, Remain PM – Video Report 1/22/13
A powerful statement today by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the move by the Palestinians and their allies at the United Nations today to have Palestine recognized by the U.N. as an observer state. The resolution is expected to pass in the General Assembly. The United States has said it will oppose the move.
Netanyahu points out that Palestine should not be recognized as an official state until it officially recognizes Israel's right to exist. Netanyahu bluntly issued a warning to the United Nations:
"As for the rights of the Jewish people in this land, I have a smiple message for those gathered in the General Assembly today. No decision by the U.N. can break the 4,000 year-old bond between the people of Israel, and the land of Israel."

Yeshiva World News is providing a "readout" on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's phone call today to President Obama to discuss the situation in Israel:
YESHIVA WORLD NEWS: Prime Minister Netanyahu called the President today to provide an update on the situation in Israel and Gaza. The Prime Minister expressed his deep appreciation to the President and the American people for the United States' investment in the Iron Dome rocket and mortar defense system, which has effectively defeated hundreds of incoming rockets from Gaza and saved countless Israeli lives. The President reiterated U.S. support for Israel's right to defend itself, and expressed regret over the loss of Israeli and Palestinian civilian lives. The two leaders discussed options for de-escalating the situation. . . . Read More

From Thursday night on Greta Van Susetern's show. She talks with former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton about the fact that Barack Obama's U.N. Ambassador, Susan Rice, chose to not be in the hall Thursday when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his speech at the United Nations. Greta was shocked that Rice did not attend the speech.
Just one in a long line of snubs by this President and his administration against Israel.

Here is the complete video of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's dramatic speech today at the United Nations. Netanyahu drew a "red line" on Iran – literally - and essentially told the world body that if they don't stop Iran before it obtains a Nuclear Weapon – Israel will.
Netanyahu is the embodiment of a leader. Israel is fortunate to have him. I wish America had such a leader for these troubled times.
Complete Video of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Dramatic United Nations Speech – Video 9/27/12
Here is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations today where he literally drew a "red line" on when Iran must be stopped in their drive to obtain Nuclear Weapons.
Netanyahu used a chart with a drawing of a bomb on it to illustrate his point. He then drew a red line with a marker indicating that Iran must not be allowed to move to the "Final Stage" of building a Nuclear Weapon. He indicated the International Atomic Energy Agency has filed public reports indicating Iran will get to that final stage by the Spring or Summer of next year.
Netanyahu's drawing of a "red line" is a clear challenge to Barack Obama, whose typical appeasement strategy has refused to draw any red lines.

Here is video of GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann calling on President Obama to change his mind and meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week in New York. Bachmann said Obama should cancel his appearance on David Letterman, and his fundraiser with "Beyonce" and "Jay Z," and do the right thing by meeting with Netanyahu.
"And President Obama needs to get his priorities straight. What he needs to do is cancel his planned interview with David Letterman, cancel his meeting with Beyonce, cancel his meeting with Jay Z, and instead agree to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, because you see, America and Israel have a commonality of interests."

Growing Back
When Rattana told me the events of her life, it took me a week to feel it. Rattana was living at an NGO for teenage survivors of human trafficking so I should have expected as much; but frankly, I hope to never to be so cynical as to expect what she has endured.
A week after Rattana opened up to me, I was on my yoga mat at home and city workers resumed their mission to rid Phnom Penh of all "oversized" trees—100 year old temple trees and jungle trees that had survived urban expansion up until now. That day, they started on the one that faces my apartment and the wheezing power saws and the groan of falling branches penetrated my home. I pulled the curtains but the sound of destruction forced its way in, destruction at the hands of men with bandanas over their faces blindly following orders, blind to the things that make life beautiful. It was to me the sound of the boys in this country raping my girls.
I learned the meaning of cynicism that day: I did not want to leave my house, I wanted also to be blind. My girlfriend came over and sat with me and held my hand. She didn't say things to make me feel better, because there is no feeling better, there is only closing your eyes and not feeling, or keeping them open and living in pain. She led me by the hand back to her place after dark so I didn't have to look at any human beings, or the raw, gaping sky.
Many girls since Rattana have told me their stories. I used to think that something could heal the pain girls suffer for being born into a poor society, and now I know that these pains never completely heal. As their teacher, I no longer try to heal them. Instead, I work with them and hold their hands until they feel safe enough to open their eyes, to venture out into the dark, to cry and to see their pain. And through their tears, they rediscover beauty and growth and the things that make life.
The tree outside my window is growing back, and the girls in my yoga therapy program are spreading their branches, also. And like the temple trees that persist upwards, these girls too will touch the sky.
Lovely Metaphor
What a sad, yet powerful, lovely, and hopeful metaphor you have found for the violated girls in your story. I hope all the survivors grow back strong and happy. Thanks for sharing that, Iskaburskis.
Growing forward!
I am so touched by your essay and while reading about life, struggle, pain, poor societies moving to healing, courage and finding happiness... I remember my life!
My life was better but wasn't the best! I didn't live with a rich family as I lost my land, my land is occupied by israel now, and lived here as a refugee... although I didn't live in the best conditions of life but life had given me its best lessons, from suffer and pain we learn and we appreciate the hands that given to us. I love to help people now and I opened my life to the world with another eyes... I didn't want to surrender so I started to look at the world form different point. now I compare myself to those who are less fortune than me to appreciate what I have and learnt that success needs strong determination not just money! and of course some people understand this and try as hard as they can to give a hand and help... for me I found/ or this man found me and give the spiritual help I needed in my life and that is what brought me here to this community of solidarity.
Much love, peace & respect to all people of the world and here I say: there is not rich and poor people, we are all rich and will not allow the material life to separate us... by hands solidarity we are one!
Ammoura, Fawzia
So Powerful
We cannot choose the country where we are born. But we can, and should, recognize that we are all part of one human family and can reach out a hand to those who live in less fortunate circumstances. By helping your girls become aware of their bodies, mind and spirits, you can empower them to reach high towards the sky, away from their fears. It starts by giving each other the support to pursue what feeds and nurtures our souls, just as you are doing with Rattana.
I look forward to reading more about your experiences in Cambodia and the impressions they have left. Best wishes,
Hope is what keeps us all
Hope is what keeps us all alive.
Thank you sharing you
Thank you sharing you beautiful story.

"The yogurt separated but it tasted ok. The chicken may have been juicier if it was pounded out first. My piece of chicken was pretty thick."
"Pretty good (for veggies), easy, and quick. I was eating alone tonight and cooked my chicken while the green beans were boiling then I used half the pan to stir up the beans and tomatoes."
"The recipe looked like it was going to be good but I did not like it at all and ended up throwing MOST of it away--which I do not typically do at all. Not sure what the problem was."
"Very good. Was a little messy since I used regular sliced bread, thin sliced deli meat, cubed pineapple, and american cheese. But a good, quick way to get a taste similar to hawaiian pizza when I can't get a whole pizza."
"DH loved it. Made it with a 3 lb boneless shoulder roast which had netting on it, which made it easier to flip & pull out of the crock. Used only 1 yellow onion bc we don't like onions, but even the onions tasted good. I think 3 lbs made 8 hefty sandwiches."
"I *LOVE* this recipe. This is the same recipe my mom uses for family get-togethers. I made a smaller and gluten free version of this recipe for dinner (you can find it under my recipes if you are curious)."
"Tasty. Kept the skin on the nectarine for the nutrients so it wasn't perfectly smooth but that was fine by me. A little thinner than the typical smoothie because there was no frozen anything in it. Still good."
"I'm a novice cook who has made scrambled eggs maybe once in my life. First time trying to make an omelette was a success!! Next time I will add a little more butter (because it stuck just a little bit) & scramble my eggs more (had white pockets pop up). This method cooked my red peppers just enough so that they weren't cold & hard or soft & mus..."
"really good, really easy, and really filling. i've made this several times, just got around to rating it. i make this with dried cranberries. mmm."

Blech. So, I knew it would be hard to find a long term sub bc I teach in a Spanish Immersion elementary school, so I need someone who is an advanced Spanish speaker (more or less fluent) and is certified in either elementary or secondary Ed. I have had three interviews already, but nothing super stellar. We thought we had a possible sub today, but I just got an email fom her saying that she doesn't want the position after all. So now I am back to square one with no leads. This is so stressful!
Teacher Clark:That is frustrating. It is also hard finding a sub who is credentialed and willing to teach my classes since I teach high school chemistry. Thankfully HR takes care of finding the subs. I'm a little surprised how many teachers are so actively involved in finding their own subs.
this. It really shouldn't be your burden.
