Tariq Ramadan, Keynote Speaker at SoundVision Fundraiser
April 15, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Adil James, MMNS
Sunday–April 11–Tariq Ramadan is not what you probably expect.
Tariq Ramadan
You might expect someone barred by the Bush administration to have an Arabic accent, to have an angry or at least emotional manner of public speaking, but the reality is Tariq Ramadan better fits the mold of a French intellectual than the typical Muslim populist. In fact, from his nature it does not appear that he has any intentions towards seeking any political power, other than spiritual and intellectual power or accomplishments.
The subject of a six-year ban by the Bush administration, ended only recently by Secretary of State Clinton, speaks English and even Arabic with a French Swiss accent, and has the breezy intellectual worldly air of a French intellectual–he seems as though he has certainty about many things. For example during his speech he interrupted emotional applause for one popular point that he had emphasized, saying "let me explain the rules," instructing listeners not to clap during his speech ("not because it is a fatwa, although it is") and then going on to say that the emotional reaction to his words may detract from what "we are trying to accomplish."
Tariq Ramadan is called, by the reactionary right, an "Islamist" of Egyptian ancestry. (By Islamist do they mean someone who likes Islam? So is George Bush a Christianist?) In fact it may be his ancestry which scared the Bush administration more than any other fact about him. His mother's father was Hassan al-Banna, the Supreme Guide and founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. His father was Said Ramadan, who was also prominently involved in Ikhwan, and who married Hassan al-Banna's daughter. He was raised in Switzerland, where his famous parents sought refuge from Nasser's Arab nationalist animosity to the Ikhwan.
Ramadan is now 48 years old. He is no firebrand. He was ranked by the British Prospect and American Foreign Policy magazines eightth in a list of the world's top 100 contemporary intellectuals in 2008. He has authored several books, focusing on the issue of Islam and the West. He wears his intellectualism on his sleeve–on Sunday he said of his most recent book that he had made it very thin so that American journalists would actually read it, although he complained that they still do not.
Ramadan is in the book 500 Most Influential Muslims–2009, being listed in the Scholars section. He is even an honorable mention for the top 50 listings in the book.
His entry in the book is as follows:
Ramadan is Europe's preeminent Muslim intellectual writing about Islam in public life. He is a professor of Islamic Studies at Oxford University and formerly a visiting professor at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He has a weekly television show, 'Islam and Life', on Press TV, and is an advisor to the European Union on religion. He has written 15 books and produced over 100 recordings.
Ramadan did not in his SoundVision speech show real leanings either toward extremist Islamic views nor even towards the strong organization-based approach to Islam of Ikhwan. Rather he focused on his theme of building consciousness of God through spiritual endeavor, a consciousness of God which would empower one to seek his or her rights when those rights are denied by people (he emphasized Western anti-Muslim people) who overreach their authority in working to the detriment of Muslims.
Ramadan certainly understands the West better than his grandfather did (whose entire reaction to the West came from an unpleasant encounter with a drunk European), and to casual observation it is clear that the younger Ramadan has imbibed its values more than even he probably realizes.
He remains, despite being a European intellectual, a Muslim intellectual as well. He thinks and speaks and writes about living Islam in a real context. He thinks about what God says that He wants from us in His Holy Book, and Ramadan endeavors to accomplish that.
Soundvision's event was, even aside from its invitation of such a memorable figure, very impressive. The event filled the Burton Hall banquet facility nearly to capacity, with approximately 600 guests in attendance.
There was a description of the difficulties and opportunities that lie before SoundVision and then a fundraiser which appeared to gross approximately $150,000 in about 20 minutes. There was a dinner and appetizers.
Many prominent Muslms from Southeast Michigan were in attendance, among them CAIR Michigan's executive director Dawud Walid, Ghalib Begg of CIOM, recently selected by the Detroit News as one of a handful of "Michiganians of the Year," and many prominent Michigan imams.
Dawud Walid spoke on the importance of SoundVision to his own family, citing the books and videos he has bought for his own children from SoundVision.
There was a brief video by SoundVision, emphasizing the Adam's World show, with a "One Big Family" soundtrack.
Janaan Hashim, a SoundVision director, spoke at length about SoundVision and its strategic goals–and perhaps her speech did the most to reveal the terrible importance of SoundVision's work.
Ms. Hashim is an attorney, journalist and teacher, as well as a mother.
The theme for SoundVision's future was plastered throughout the fundraiser event, "Helping Tomorrow's Muslims today." Ms. Hashim emphasized this meant helping them now.
She showed the terrible current state of Muslim youths by showing a chart of anger among youths aged 18-29 by religion, which showed anger among Muslim youths at 26%, which was almost double the rate for Protestants and Mormons (14% each).
She showed statistics that 75% of American Muslims felt that they had been discriminated against or had witnessed discimination, 12% of Muslim students in New York public schools felt doubt about Islam. 7% of Muslims had been assaulted.
95% of Muslim youths, she said, are in normal public schools, and do not attend Juma'a prayers. Less than 5% of Muslim youths go to Muslim schools.
Where do the children spend their time? On average, they spend 53 hours per week online, 7 hours and 38 minutes per day.
Hashim quickly demonstrated the overwhelmingly negative nature of the information about Islam–much of it provided directly by people who hate Islam and Muslims, like Robert Spencer and Daniel Pipes.
Hashim pointed out that many Muslim youths respond to these many overwhelming pressures by changing their names, possibly even changing religions, or at least by caving in to such pressures as drinking alcohol or joining gangs. She cited a statistic that 47% of Muslim college students report having drunk alcohol, and about 10% report binge drinking.
"We must rethink things for kids," she said. "We must reallocate our resources."
Therefore Muslims need to create a powerful online alternative to these hate sites that assault the minds of our children with their ignorance and negative stereotypes of Islam.
SoundVision came up with a thorough plan to address these challenges after one year of research. This is their strategic plan: 1) they plan 1,000 pieces of new content in the next 12 months; 2) they plan to emphasize new media for ipods, pda's, iphones, etc.; 3) they plan mega-websites, age specific, and their model is the Disney websites (they intend good sites competitive with Disney); 4) they plan to make it all free (because they need to connect to the 95% who are slipping through the cracks); 5) Weekend 2.0–a web-based Islamic School 2.0 with lesson plans for existing schools, teaching basic Islam; 6) Networking among stake holders–creative arts hubs to allow youngsters to engage in creative activities; 7) Crucial Concepts (to teach skills, values, pluralism, response to objections, citizenship training, and career and marital counseling).
Ms. Hashim explained that much of this work has already been completed: SoundVision has enlisted the help of 270 artists, scholars, 18 editors.
SoundVision's website is ranked a very respectable 100,000 on Alexa's ranking system (The Muslim Observer has risen to about 335,000 over several years of assiduous work).
SoundVision pioneered Adam's World, the Al-Qari software, Islamic songs, and a Muslim radio program (which in fact is hosted by Ms. Hashim).
She emphasized that SoundVision is at the cutting edge, and that its software has attracted attention for its very high quality and for its advanced technical competence.
In fact SoundVision has pointed out a potential disaster that faces the American Muslim community, but has also stepped forward to face our problems.
Biden/Obama Humiliated by Israel

"Wiping the Spit Off Their Faces"
By Uri Avnery
March 15, 2010 "Information Clearing House" — SOME WEEKS the news is dominated by a single word. This week's word was "timing".
It's all a matter of timing. The Government of Israel has insulted the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, one of the greatest "friends" of Israel (meaning: somebody totally subservient to AIPAC) and spat in the face of President Barack Obama. So what? It's all a matter of timing.
If the government had announced the building of 1600 new housing units in East Jerusalem a day earlier, it would have been OK. If it had announced it three days later, it would have been wonderful. But doing it exactly when Joe Biden was about to have dinner with Bibi and Sarah'le – that was really bad timing.
The matter itself is not important. Another thousand housing units in East Jerusalem, or 10 thousand, or 100 thousand – what different does it make? The only thing that matters is the timing.
As the Frenchman said: It's worse than criminal, it's stupid.
THE WORD "stupid" also figured prominently this week, second only to "timing".
Stupidity is an accepted phenomenon in politics. I would almost say: to succeed in politics, one needs a measure of stupidity. Voters don't like politicians who are too intelligent. They make them feel inferior. A foolish politician, on the other hand, appears to be "one of the folks".
History is full of acts of folly by politicians. Many books have been written about this. To my mind, the epitome of foolishness was achieved by the events that led to World War I, with its millions of victims, which broke out because of the accumulated stupidity of (in ascending order) Austrian, Russian, German, French and British politicians.
But even stupidity in politics has its limits. I have pondered this question for decades, and who knows, one day, when I grow up, I might write a doctoral thesis about it.
My thesis goes like this: In politics (as in other fields) foolish things happen regularly. But some of them are stopped in time, before they can lead to disaster, while others are not. It this accidental, or is there a rule?
My answer is: there certainly is a rule. It works like this: when somebody sets in motion an act of folly that runs counter to the spirit of the regime, it is stopped in its tracks. While it moves from one bureaucrat to another, somebody starts to wonder. Just a moment, this cannot be right! It is referred to higher authority, and soon enough somebody decides that it is a mistake.
On the other hand, when the act of folly is in line with the spirit of the regime, there are no brakes. When it moves from one bureaucrat to the next, it looks quite natural to both. No red light. No alarm bell. And so the folly rolls on to the bitter end.
I remember how this rule came to my mind the first time. In 1965, Habib Bourguiba, the president of Tunisia, took a bold step: he made a speech in the biggest refugee camp in Jericho, then under Jordanian rule, and called upon the Arabs to recognize Israel. This caused a huge scandal all over the Arab world.
Some time later, the correspondent of an Israeli paper reported that in a press conference at the UN headquarters, Bourguiba had called for the destruction of Israel. This sounded strange to me. I made inquiries, checked the protocol and found out that the opposite was true: the reporter had mistakenly turned a no into a yes.
How did this happen? If the journalist had erred in the opposite direction and reported, for example, that Gamal Abd-el-Nasser had called for the acceptance of Israel into the Arab League, the news would have been stopped at once. Every red light would have lit up. Someone would have called out: Hey, something strange here! Check again! But in the Bourguiba case nobody noticed the mistake, for what is more natural than an Arab leader calling for the destruction of Israel? No verification needed.
That's what happened this week in Jerusalem. Every government official knows that the nationalist Prime Minister is pushing for the Judaization of East Jerusalem, that the extreme nationalist Minister of the Interior is even more eager, and that the super-nationalist Mayor of Jerusalem practically salivates when he imagines a Jewish quarter on the Temple Mount. So why should a bureaucrat postpone the confirmation of a new Jewish neighborhood in East Jerusalem? Just because of the visit of some American windbag?
Therefore, the timing is not important. It's the matter itself that's important.
DURING HIS last days in office, President Bill Clinton published a peace plan, in which he tried to make up for eight years of failure in this region and kowtowing to successive Israeli governments. The plan was comparatively reasonable, but included a ticking bomb.
About East Jerusalem, Clinton proposed that what is Jewish should be joined to the State of Israel and what is Arab should be joined to the state of Palestine. He assumed (rightly, I believe) that Yasser Arafat was ready for such a compromise, which would have joined some new Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem to Israel. But Clinton was not wise enough to foresee the consequences of his proposal.
In practice, it was an open invitation to the Israeli government to speed up the establishment of new settlements in East Jerusalem, expecting them to become part of Israel. And indeed, since then successive Israeli governments have invested all available resources in this endeavor. Since money has no smell, every Jewish casino-owner in America and every Jewish brothel-keeper in Europe was invited to join the effort. The Biblical injunction – "Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God, for any vow; for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God" (Deuteronomy 23:18) – was suspended for this holy cause.
Now the pace is speeded up even more. Because there is no more effective means of obstructing peace than building new settlements in East Jerusalem.
THAT IS clear to anyone who has dealings with this region. No peace without an independent Palestinian state, no Palestinian state without East Jerusalem. About this there is total unanimity among all Palestinians, from Fatah to Hamas, and between all Arabs, from Morocco to Iraq, and between all Muslims, from Nigeria to Iran.
There will be no peace without the Palestinian flag waving above the Haram al-Sharif, the holy shrines of Islam which we call the Temple Mount. That is an iron-clad rule. Arabs can compromise about the refugee problem, painful as it may be, and about the borders, also with much pain, and about security matters. But they cannot compromise about East Jerusalem becoming the capital of Palestine. All national and religious passions converge here.
Anyone who wants to wreck any chance for peace – it is here that he has to act. The settlers and their supporters, who know that any peace agreement would include the elimination of (at least) most settlements, have planned in the past (and probably are planning now) to blow up the mosques on the Temple Mount, hoping that this would cause a worldwide conflagration which would reduce to ashes the chances of peace once and for all. Less extreme people dream about the creeping ethnic cleansing of East Jerusalem by administrative chicanery, demolition of houses, denying means of livelihood and just making life in general miserable for Arabs. Moderate rightists just want to cover every empty square inch in East Jerusalem with Jewish neighborhoods. The aim is always the same.
THIS REALITY is, of course, well known to Obama and his advisors. In the beginning they believed, in their innocence, that they could sweet talk Netanyahu and Co. into stopping the building activity to facilitate the start of negotiations for the two-state solution. Very soon they learned that this was impossible without exerting massive pressure – and they were not prepared to do that.
After putting up a short and pitiful struggle, Obama gave in. He agreed to the deception of a "settlement freeze" in the West Bank. Now building is going on there with great enthusiasm, and the settlers are satisfied. They have completely stopped their demonstrations.
In Jerusalem there was not even a farcical attempt – Netanyahu just told Obama that he would go on building there ("as in Tel Aviv"), and Obama bowed his head. When Israeli officials announced a grandiose plan for building in "Ramat Shlomo" this week, they did not violate any undertaking. Only the matter of "timing" remained.
FOR JOE BIDEN, it was a matter of honor. For Mahmoud Abbas, it is a matter of survival.
Under intense pressure from the Americans and their agents, the rulers of the Arab countries, Abbas was obliged to agree to negotiations with the Netanyahu government – though only "proximity talks", a euphemism for "distance talks".
Clearly, nothing will come out of these talks except more humiliation for the Palestinians. Quite simply: anyone building in East Jerusalem and the West Bank is announcing in advance that there is no chance for an agreement. After all, no sane Israeli would invest billions in a territory he intends to turn over to the Palestinian state. A person who is eating a pizza is not negotiating about it in good faith.
Even at this late stage, Abbas and his people still hope that something good will come out of all this: the US will acknowledge that they are right and exert, at long last, real pressure on Israel to implement the two-state solution.
But Biden and Obama did not give much cause for hope. They wiped the spit off their faces and smiled politely.
As the saying goes: when you spit in the face of a weakling, he pretends that it is raining. Does this apply to the president of the most powerful country in the world?

Israel and Egypt Continue to Squeeze Gaza
January 21, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Ann Wright, t r u t h o u t | Op-Ed
Two weeks ago, almost 2,000 internationals came to Egypt and Gaza in a massive show of civil society's support for the people of Gaza. Nearly 1,400 persons representing 44 countries in the Gaza Freedom March and over 500 persons with the Viva Palestina Convoy let the people of Gaza know of their concern for the tragic consequences of their governments' support of the Israeli and Egyptian blockade.
Yet, two weeks later, with the apparent approval of governments (United States, European Community and Canada) that support the quarantine, blockade and siege of Gaza, Israel and Egypt have tightened the squeeze to wring the lifeblood out of the people of Gaza.
US Military Team Visits Underground Wall Construction
The US government continues to assist Egypt in building an underground wall to cut off tunnels under the border of Gaza and Egypt. According to Reuters, on January 14, 2010, three US military personnel from the US embassy in Cairo visited Rafah to follow up on the barrier project. According to security sources in Rafah, visits by US military have been taking place monthly.
In a press conference this week in Washington, US State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid said, "What we'd like to see is for Hamas to stop using the border crossings as methods for smuggling in weapons and let's get the weapons smuggling stopped." Duguid did not address the use of the tunnels to get life-saving food and materials prohibited by Israel.
In December 2009, three Palestinians were killed after a tunnel collapsed beneath the Egypt-Gaza border. The three were reported missing, and later found by rescue workers.
Deadliest Week Since Last Year's Israeli Attack
Last week, January 6-12, was the deadliest week for the Gaza Strip in the past year since the January 18, 2009, ceasefire that ended Israel's "Cast Lead" offensive.
According to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Israeli air force bombing attacks killed seven Palestinians in Gaza, including three civilians. The attacks came in response to an increase in the number of mortar shells and rockets fired by Palestinian factions from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel that caused no injuries or property damage.
Since the ceasefire a year ago, a total of 84 Palestinians, including at least 27 civilians, and one Israeli (a soldier) have been killed. Another 160 Palestinians and seven Israelis were injured in Gaza and southern Israel.
On January 8, 2010, US aircraft flown by Israeli air force personnel bombed tunnels under the Egypt-Gaza border, killing three Palestinians, including a 15 year-old boy, and wounding another two. Another Palestinian was hurt in a separate airstrike. In two other incidents, on January 6 and 10, Israeli aircraft targeted and killed four Palestinian militants, three of them in one airstrike. Five additional airstrikes, resulting in no casualties, were carried out during the week. Also this week, on four separate occasions, Israeli forces drove tanks into Gaza and conducted land-leveling operations.
Israelis Increase Border Zone Into Gaza
On January 7 this year, the Israeli air force dropped leaflets into areas next to the border fence with Gaza, warning residents to keep a distance of at least 300 meters from the border with Israel and to avoid cooperating with "smugglers" in the tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. This doubled the buffer zone along the border from 150 meters to 300 meters, but Israeli forces have opened "warning" fire at farmers as far as 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) from the border.
A parallel ban for Gaza fishermen is applied to sea areas beyond three nautical miles from the coast, though often this distance is less in practice. This week, in nine separate incidents, Israeli naval forces opened "warning" fire at Palestinian fishing boats along Gaza's coast, forcing them to return to shore.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) reported that on January 6 and 9 this year, unknown persons detonated bombs in a pharmacy and two coffee shops in Gaza City; no one was hurt, but property damage was reported.
Two Killed in January in Tunnels and Seven Youths Burned in Tunnel Fire
In January 2010, two Palestinians died in two separate incidents involving the collapse of a tunnel under the Gaza-Egypt border while they were working inside it. At least 70 people have died and 123 others have been injured in the tunnels since the end of the "Cast Lead" Israeli attack on Gaza.
On January 16 this year, seven Palestinians from Gaza were burned in a fire that broke out in one of the tunnels connecting the border towns of Rafah, Gaza and Rafah, Egypt. The seven burned tunnel workers were treated at An-Nasser and Ash-Shifa hospitals in Gaza City.
Digging tunnels and working in them is one of the few jobs available for Palestinian youth in Gaza. Tunnel workers reportedly earn $25 per day, a huge sum in the current Palestinian economy. However, they are subjected to daily bombings by US F-16 aircraft flown by the Israeli Air Force, plus tunnel collapses and fires.
Accidents in the tunnels are frequent. According to the Palestinian human rights organization Al-Mezan, 120 people have been killed working in the tunnel trade in the past three years.
According to OCHA, no commercial gasoline or diesel fuel entered Gaza via Kerem Shalom during last week. Egyptian gasoline and diesel, which is transferred through the tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border, remains available on the open market, with nearly 100,000 liters of diesel and 100,000 liters of gasoline transferred into Gaza per day.
Israeli Tanks Shell Beit Hanoun
Israeli tanks operating near the northern Gaza border near Beit Hanoun targeted civilian properties with heavy artillery fire on January 15, 2010. Tank shells hit civilian homes on the outskirts of the town, causing material damages but no injuries.
Egypt Builds Anchorage for Border Patrol Boats
Egypt is continuing fortification of its borders with Gaza, this time by sea. According to Reuters, Egypt is constructing a port for patrol boats that will block sea routes into Gaza for merchandise, food and weapons.
The border patrol boats will keep Palestinian fishing boats in Gazan coastal waters. Egypt has said it believes the boats are being used to carry out smuggling operations, though there have never been reports of such incidents. "It is to secure the area. It will be used to direct fishing boats in the area to ensure they do not cross the Israeli sea border and risk getting fired at," the security sources told Reuters.
As Egypt completes the 14-kilometer underground wall along the Rafah border, Egyptian surveillance of the Mediterranean Sea increases the strangling of Gaza. The tunnels are the only way Gazans can bring goods into the Strip. Israel has maintained a tight blockade of the area, letting in only 36 types of goods for the past three years.
Future Aid Missions Must Go Through Red Crescent
On January 6, hundreds of Palestinians demonstrators, protesting Egypt's delay in allowing the aid convoy Viva Palestina into Gaza, as well as Egypt's plans to build the underground steel wall, clashed with Egyptian forces at the Gaza-Egypt border. As a result, an Egyptian soldier was shot dead and 13 Palestinians were injured, including six who suffered gunshot wounds. Eventually, the convoy entered on the same day, carrying food and medical supplies.
However, in response to the clashes, Egypt introduced a new mechanism, through which future aid convoys into Gaza will go through the Egyptian Red Crescent.
No Internationals Allowed Into Gaza
During December, no internationals were allowed into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, until 92 persons from the Gaza Freedom March were allowed in for 48 hours on December 30. During January, only the Viva Palestina convoy personnel were allowed in for 24 hours. Many international persons have letters of invitation from non-governmental organizations to assist in a variety of ways. Only one other international has been allowed into Gaza in January. Egypt has denied the requests for all other internationals. The ability of citizens of the world to assist Gaza when their governments will not is tragically being strangled.

51st ECB today is a World War II living history association based in the
Washington DC area, with members in many of the mid-Atlantic states. We
are dedicated to an authentic portrayal of the US G.I.'s in the combat
engineers during World War II. As a group we participate regularly in battle
reenactments and public living history programs, displays and demonstrations.
We are one of largest and fastest growing groups on the east coast. We are always
glad to hear from anyone interested in becoming a part of reenacting
WW II ,if you are interested in joining, see our Join

50 Years Ago...The 51st ECB was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for it's role in blocking the advance of the German armored spearhead at Trois Ponts Belgium during the "Battle of the Bulge" in the winter of 1944. As the Germans tried to keep up the momentum of their attack, they were foiled at every turn as the engineers blew up bridges and manned roadblocks in their path. The 51st bridged the Rhine river at Remagen and was among the first units to cross. Forging ahead the engineers lived up to their motto, Clearing the Way for the army as it raced further into Germany. At every bridge they built could be found a sign bearing the battalion's un-official motto, 51st Again! |

Supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi are holding scattered protests across Egypt, calling off a planned rally at Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square almost a week after bloody clashes left nearly 60 dead. Thousands of Morsi supporters took to the streets Friday in several cities, commemorating 100 days since Egypt's first democratically elected president was ousted by the military following mass protests calling for his resignation.

It sounds like if you have trouble sleeping AND have a song Kenny Chesney likes to perform on stage, you should probably refrain from giving him your phone number.
Kenny recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly {Quote via Contact Music} and admitted that he loves to perform Tim McGraw's 1999 hit For a Little While in concert. Well that sounds like great news until you hear the rest of his confession.
He tells the magazine, "There were many nights where I called him at two in the morning and woke the household up, and I would let the crowd sing it to him."
Yeah, you probably have to be a pretty good friend to get away with that more than once.
Tim and Kenny officially hit the road on their massive Brothers of the Sun tour Saturday, June 2, with their first stop in Tampa, Florida. Find all tour dates here.

FM auction fast approaching
The window for short-form applications (FCC Forms 175) closed on Aug. 12 and upfront payments--the FCC's version of an ante--are due by Sept. 30 at 6 p.m. EDT. The auction itself is scheduled to start on Nov. 1.
Veterans of last year's FM auction should be familiar with the format in which the auction is conducted in rounds. In each round a bidder may bid on any of the channels for which the bidder applied on its Form 175 up to the limit of the total upfront payment submitted by the bidder. This time, however, there will be a new twist relative to the bidder activity rule.
In previous broadcast auctions, if a bidder purchased 100 units of eligibility, he was required to use all 100 units during each round or else use a waiver. Auction No. 62 is being adapted to resemble a wireless auction in that 100 percent engagement will not be required in each round.
This change will not affect bidders who intend to compete for only one market and who, therefore, will be submitting only the minimum upfront payment specified for that market. But it is likely to affect the strategies of participants who plan to be bidding in multiple markets. The new activity rule will require 7 percent activity during Stage One and 95 percent activity during Stage Two. The transition from Stage One and Stage Two will take place based on a mathematical formula designed to identify the point in time when the pace of the auction is slowing down. The precise point at which the mandatory activity level will shift will be announced by the Commission as the auction is being conducted.
Let's say that you have submitted an upfront payment entitling you to 100 units of eligibility. During Stage One, only 75 percent of eligibility will need to be used in each round. Thus, if community A's channel has a specified minimum is 50 units and community B's requires 25 units, your upfront payment will allow you to bid on both channels in any given round (because 50 + 25 = 75, which is less than the 100 units you paid for), and still keep the full 100 units. (In previous auctions, you risked losing the 25 points you didn't use.) As a result, if you lose interest in community A and community B, you will still be able to use the full 100 units during subsequent rounds to bid on channels in entirely different communities.
Bidders who already hold attributable interests that preclude them under the multiple ownership rules from owning one of the to-be-auctioned channels may nonetheless still bid for such channels. However, a problem will arise if a bidder in that position wins the channel in question, because the FCC will not grant a construction permit for that channel until the successful bidder has divested the conflicting interest. But someone who wants to "trade up" no longer is precluded from doing so.
Payola back on the front burner
Eliot Spitzer, the Attorney General of New York, has attacked the problem of payola and is winning: Sony BMG Music Entertainment, agreed in a settlement to pay more than $10 million and to adopt limitations on its radio-based promotional activities. Sony admitted no wrongdoing.
The conduct addressed by Spitzer includes apparently straightforward pay-for-play arrangements, the provision of cash or goods to station personnel, the use of "independent promoters," and other arrangements by which Sony allegedly sought to manipulate and otherwise influence air play for its records.
On or before Oct. 3 radio stations in Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and the Pacific Islands must file their 2005 renewal applications, biennial ownership reports and EEO program reports.
Oct. 1 is the start date for radio stations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island to begin their renewal pre-filing announcements in anticipation of filing their renewals on Dec. 1.
Oct. 1 also is the date for radio stations in Florida, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Iowa and Missouri to place their annual EEO reports in their public files and post them on their websites. The same requirement applies to stations in Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and the Pacific Islands who will be submitting their renewals on or before Oct. 3.

AHRQ Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) Initiative
Go to the PBRN Web site.
Primary care practice-based research networks (PBRNs) involve practicing clinicians in asking and answering clinical and organizational questions about primary health care. Recognizing the importance of this work, its ability to improve the health of all Americans, and the potential of these networks to engage clinicians in quality improvement activities and an evidence-based culture in primary care practice, AHRQ has developed its PBRN initiative.
Introduction to AHRQ's PBRN initiative
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
AHRQ Support for PBRNs
Between 2000 and 2005, AHRQ funded four major competitive grant programs directed at PBRNs. In addition to funding opportunities, AHRQ is supporting PBRNs through a national resource center, an annual national conference, peer learning groups, an electronic PBRN research repository, and a dedicated community extranet.

The Internet, to paraphrase Rihanna, is no longer a hopeless place to find love. A 2012 University of Rochester study found that 23 percent of U.S. couples were finding their partners through online dating as of 2009, second only to mutual friends. Niche sites, such as the ones that follow, can help.

Note from Barb: A few days ago, I wrote a short post for the iTDi blog about teaching large classes. I was fascinated by the Englishometer that Valentina mentioned in her comment, and asked if she'd consider sharing more of her ideas in a guest post here. Lucky for us, she agreed!
About ten years ago (when I graduated), if you had told me I would spend a significant part of my life teaching English to young people, I would have been surprised, a little shocked. To be honest, at that time teaching English was not my dream. I always loved the language, the culture and the literature, but never before had I thought I could be a teacher.
It didn't have anything to do with the language, I was just afraid of managing thirty young boys all together, only me and them in one room. So I started working in a big international company. My role was to implement communication plans and run workshops for managers.
After two years I realised I was not getting anything back. In terms of values and human relationships, I mean. So I decided to go into teaching. Basically it was moving from an impersonal environment into a strong human-focused one. (more…)

Summary: Although we live in a technologically advanced society, superstition is as widespread as it has ever been. Far from limited to athletes and actors, superstitious beliefs are common among people of all occupations and every educational and income level. Here, Stuart Vyse investigates our proclivity towards these irrational beliefs. Superstitions, he writes, are the natural result of several well-understood psychological processes, including our human sensitivity to co ...show moreincidence, a penchant for developing rituals to fill time (to battle nerves, impatience, or both), our efforts to cope with uncertainty, the need for control, and more. Vyse examines current behavioral research to demonstrate how complex and paradoxical human behavior can be understood through scientific investigation, while he addresses the personality features associated with superstition and the roles of superstitious beliefs in actions. Although superstition is a normal part of human culture, Vyse argues that we must provide alternative methods of coping with life's uncertainties by teaching decision analysis, promoting science education, and challenging ourselves to critically evaluate the sources of our beliefs.

Youthlinc is an amazing program. Well thought out and planned in empowering students and creating sustainable change in developing countries. It is not just a service trip to provide humanitarian aide. It involves students for an entire year. Students must complete the required number of service hours locally in order to go internationally. This requirement ensures that students are invested in the program and truly desire to make a difference both locally and globally. Opportunities for fundraising, lesson planning, project planning are presented for the students which encourages them to do new things, pushing themselves to greater heights. The responsibility is great, but the reward is even greater! It is a life changing experience as in country there is the opportunity to provide physical change while the villagers provide emotional, mental and spiritual change. These people open their hearts and homes to us providing a home away from home. They are family by the end of the two weeks. The examples of pure love, generosity, and genuine kindness while living simply and practically are refreshing and stimulating.

As winter becomes a memory and thoughts of warmer weather come to mind, many people also think about spring cleaning.
Even though we have electric vacuum cleaners and robotic sweepers, there's no magic wand to wave that will take down winter's dust webs and wash the windows and walls.
Talk to seniors about spring cleaning, and the older they are, the more laborious are their memories of that spring ritual.
At Lake Forest Senior Living Community, Nancy Collin, 87; Mary Lue Gould, 78; Betty Gregory, 92; and Joan Clarke, 84, shared a variety of memories, from washing curtains to wallpapering to changing the bedspread each spring.
"We always had summer and winter curtains," Mary Lue said. "The lace curtains would come down, be washed, and then my mother would stretch them on the curtain stretcher while they were still wet.
"They never needed ironing. It was also my job as a kid to wash and clean the front and back porches."
Betty said that at her house it was like each room was turned inside out.
"Most of our walls were wallpapered back then," she remembered. "My mother's sister would come to help. They would wallpaper every room before they were done, including some of the ceilings. I can still see them walking from chair to chair, with their hands over their heads, holding the wallpaper to the ceiling, and laughing all the time.
"They made their own wallpaper paste, too."
Spring cleaning can also mean just moving a few things around.
"I don't say I spring clean but I change things around," Nancy said. "I have a beautiful heavy bedspread that was my grandmother's. That's on my bed all winter.
"When I think spring is coming, I take it off and put on my summer spread. I'm thinking it may come off by April 1st this year.
"We'll see."
She also has a unique set of winter curtains that she made from felt that covered the rollers at the old Diamond National plant, where her husband worked. They are warm and heavy and keep out the cold winter winds.
Joan remembers taking up small area rugs and hanging them out for a good airing on the clothesline, and washing windows at both home and camp.
"I'm a birder, so not only did we spring clean our home in New Jersey and camp in the Adirondacks, but we cleaned out all the birdhouses in the yard so the birds would have a clean place to build new nests," she said.
Betty remembers how puffy and beautiful feather-tick mattresses were. She described sinking down in the feathers and said she slept very well.
"We also had to drag them outside every spring and shake the feathers so they would fluff up," she said. "Then we'd lay them on the grass and turn them over and over on a sunny day."
Water and vinegar seemed to be the consensus for washing windows, and newspapers worked for a spotless drying job.
"We used cloth diapers back then, too, and when they were worn out, they made the best rags for cleaning and dusting," Mary Lue said.
Cleaning wasn't limited to windows, walls and rugs. Wood-stove pipes came down and were "tamped," Betty remembers.
Mary Lue's in-laws removed their small stove completely from the house and stored it for the summer months.
Nancy enjoys her more relaxed lifestyle at Lake Forest, but it does have its drawbacks.
"It's a mixed blessing to live at Lake Forest. It's beautiful, but I miss having the extra room to have family stay with me."
Asked if they missed those spring cleaning days when they lived in their homes, there was a resounding "no."
"It's wonderful here," said Joan. "The staff does the cleaning. I've only used my stove to boil water once since I came here."
"If we don't want to cook or clean, we don't have to. It's all done for us, from a cup of coffee to meals and beyond. I don't miss spring cleaning at all."
Email Susan Tobias: firstname.lastname@example.com
We asked Press-Republican Facebook readers what they do for spring cleaning. Here is a sampling of responses:
Jennifer Chasalow VanBenschoten: "Still too cold for us to get into our spring cleaning, but we open all the windows, move the furniture, clean the floors, the furniture, scrub down the windows ... We give our home a bath from the inside out!"
Tiffany Taylor: "I'm going to be starting mine very soon. I do the floors, the walls, the windows, I wash EVERYTHING that can be washed, and I organize and declutter. I do it room by room and then I do my car inside and out. It feels good to have everything all clean and fresh and organized! I do mine and my parents' house."
Carol Russell: "Walls, floors, cupboards, everything hung on the clothes line, many things."
Jaime Whittaker: "I pretty much do little things around the house every day all year round so that I don't need to do 'spring cleaning' ... I feel like if I just did these things in the spring my house would be nasty."
Tammy Whitty-Brown: "The first real warm spring day, I open all the windows and roll up the oriental rug in the living room, take it out and beat it, move the furniture and do a thorough cleaning of the house. Windows get washed inside and out and I go through and get rid of anything I haven't used in a year or so. If it is in good shape, it goes to the Salvation Army."
Tammy Cole: "I go through winter clothes, wash walls, pictures, windows. Anything that has to do with winter goes, for a new start of spring and summer. whoop whoop ... .
Have a great spring."

Hello all,
Been a lurker for awhile, but now have a reason to join in the discussion! I purchased a dresser at an auction near my home on the weekend. I live about 2 hrs west of Toronto in a small town and the auction was in a village even smaller about 10 minutes away. The house was also being sold and it dates to 1910. Many of the items sold with the house were just as old too, but I'm not sure on this dresser. It is maple (confirmed) and has dovetailed joints in the drawer, but that's my limit of knowledge. I'll give a link to the pictures rather than post them b/c there are 11. :) It is likely that it could be made by the family that sold the house or even local Mennonites too. Either way, I think it will look great in my 117 year old house and regardless of how old it is, I love it and it was a steal at $2! I'm hoping to figure out the age so it can help guide how I restore it. Thanks!!

$2 ?!?!? It looks like a totally abused piece from somewhere between 1900 and 1950 ... there's nothing that makes it distinctively one era or another. |
I don't know but I'd love to see it once you're done! Is it veneered where it seems to be peeling on the side? Is there a giant cat in your home? :P |
The first piece you buy at auction is always exciting....you are now hooked! But this piece has some serious issues!! Looks seriously water damaged to me, that warped top will not be easy to fix, and the veneer on one side panel is pretty well toast. I suggest you remove the drawers and do something creative with them....and junk the rest. To straighten that top you will have to remove it from the case, remove all finish from both sides, then selectivly dampen the concave side and dry the convex side until it's flat......then quickly varnish both sides to stabilize the water content. And what will you do about the peeling veneer?. The dark water spots can be bleached with oxalic acid.....but...is it worth it? |
Here is a link that might be useful: dresser
I'm going out on a limb and suggest that this piece is probably 1920s. It is factory made and it has major issues. That doesn't mean that if you love it, you can't salvage it for use if you are comfortable it is going to have.......uhm........character. I usually cringe when somebody gets on this forum and says they want to paint an antique, or make it 'shabby chic'. I could see this one with the rest of the veneer yanked, painted antique white with hand painted trim and holding plants in a sun-room. I do not think it's worth the effort to return it to its former 'glory', however. |

The pieced back makes it earlier than later. |
Exactly, and the paneled sides as well. This is a common way to finish off the backs of old dressers. That is the way one of my chests is finished off I can date to first decade 1900s and another dresser I can date to the 1890s. |

I have a early 1900s cabinet with a pieced back, an 1890s Art Nouveau piece with the original 1-piece thin plywood back, and also had one from the 1950s with a pieced back. The mark of the shield or whatever it was on the center drawer baffles me ... That would indicate that you have something that had a glued-on applique as was common in the 1920s and 30s. Are the knobs the original? Someone may have removed the brasses from a 1940s "colonial" piece and replaced them with knobs to look more country. Check for screw scars and wear marks. |
It isn't cut in stone about the back finish, but is typical enough to be a red flag. The side panels to me are more indicative. The design on the front was what led me to say 20s in the first place, and it is not at all unheard of for 20s pieces to have wooden knobs on dressers. |
Thanks everyone! Seems to maybe be from the 20s from what I'm reading? Safe assumption? I'll check the knobs tonight and see if there is any scars or holes and maybe do a close up of the applique thingy. It's amusing as before I posted, I didn't think it was in all that bad of shape lol! Now, reading some of these comments, it's become YIKES! :) I'm still going to try to do something with it. I really like it for some reason, and I've been on the lookout for a dresser for quite some time and it's the first I actually wanted. It's just going in my guest room so doesn't even really need to have the drawers functional. All my relatives are not invited long enough to unpack haaaaa! Kiddin'! Yep, totally addicted to auctions now too! My giant cat's name is Bert lol - good eye...I had to take a few different shots b/c he kept sticking his nose right in the picture so that was the winner :) Thanks all! Back soon! Jenn |
I purchased a old secretary that had some veneer damage. I stripped off the crazy warped veneer and painted it. (The finish was beyond repair) and it turned out really beautiful. It was inside the secretary that was badly damaged, but I covered it up with vintage looking French postcards. (Used Annie Sloan paint in Duck Egg blue for the outside) Paint-distress-age wax and you will have something with character and beauty! |
Okay so it's been awhile, but we finally tackled our dresser that I first asked about last year. We couldn't salvage the top due to the water damage so we made a new top out of salvaged barn board. The same deal with the "skin's" on each side. They came off, but we really liked how it looked underneath so we kept it plain. Sanded the entire thing then added a coat of polyurethane. After that, I had planned on staining it a walnut colour, but the colour that came up was so nice (and so far off the original green-ish colour), that I left it at that. It only had 3 wood knobs left, which we replaced with some nice glass ones. Since it's not really original anymore anyhow, we thought they added some pizazz to it esp since the colour of the glass matches the tone of the wood. We love it! It was nice to save from being thrown out and giving it a new life. :) And, it's still nicer and cheaper than most of the new crap in stores today! Once again, I'll give the link so there are a few pics. Enjoy! https://picasaweb.google.com/schmenn/1920sDresserRehab?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCOi5y6DakqCXLg&feat=directlink Jenn |

Safe travels, Mr. Thue
There will always be those stories that compel readers to act, to want to help people we feature in articles in some large or small way. But it usually comes with stories involving grand hardships: poverty, illness, death.
Last night was the first time I heard of readers moved by this: boredom.
On Wednesday, The Post ran a story about a man stranded by the Icelandic volcano ash cloud in a Dulles hotel, hoping to get to Europe to celebrate his wedding anniversary and 85th birthday. One woman called to say we could have picked a more compelling person affected by the delays. I got your message. For most of the day, it was the only reader feedback I received.
Then, about 6 p.m. William Thue, the stranded man featured in the article, called to tell me about the day he had. He said about a half dozen people had called his room, offering to take him to lunch or to a museum. One woman, after reading he only had one book, even brought a stack of novels by the hotel.
"It's overwhelming," Thue said. "They were so concerned about my boredom."
Unfortunately, he said, he couldn't accept any of the offers because he had to remain in his room to wait for the call he'd been hoping to get for a week: the one from Virgin Atlantic saying it had secured a seat for him. By the afternoon, the call had come. And by evening, Thue was London-bound.
After I hung up the phone with him, I saw this email in my inbox: "Ma'am, If Mr. Thue or any other stranded passengers…are in need of a break from the boredom, please pass them my contact information. If nothing else, perhaps I can prepare them a meal and offer some time away from their hotel rooms."

The injustice of UGC NET June 2012 against Fighters News
UGC NET Results or CSIR or JRF Results
NET/JRF Rsults or CSIR-UGC December 2012 Results PDF
The vital issue to notice is that information superhighway had objectiveness inbuilt to its analysis even before the June 2012 internet communication. Before the UGC can valuate solely the target papers of Paper one and Paper two to choose the result. The non objective Paper three are going to be evaluated just for people who have cleared Paper one and Paper two. thus it's wrong for the Committee to own deliberated on dynamic the pattern of the communication Associate in Nursingd therefore to own modified the pattern of Paper three from the sooner pattern that has been determined by an knowledgeable committee. The employers had the texture of the candidates skillfulness to careful answers within the earlier pattern that's necessary in Humanities subjects. The Paper two and Paper three square measure completely different in CSIR, tho' each could also be objective. however that's not the case with June 2012 internet communication pattern. there's a powerful reason to believe that this alteration has been done to impact bound malpractices. the simplest answer now could be to utterly declare the June 2012 and Gregorian calendar month 2012 examinations as 'sub standard' and to discard these results. Let the UGC conduct the examination within the previous pattern once more to those aspirants while not taking any application fee
The right answer to the current debacle is feasible on condition that the UGC is pressurised to scrap the June 2012 and Dec 2012 examination. after all there'll positively be plenty of broken hearts. however the decision of Kerala judicature isn't a comprehensive one then are going to be stoutly resisted by UGC by all suggests that. If the Judgement of Kerala HC is formed applicable to non petitioners then the pass proportion are going to be touching eightieth which is many lakhs of candidates. {that can|which will|that may} dilute the worth of UGC and therefore will build it straightforward for information superhighway review committee to scrap all information superhighway theme. other than {it can|it'll} be a Court continuing and now the UGC will say, "UGC has been permissible earlier by Court to dump MPhil and Ph.D.. Then why not internet and SET?"
June 2012 Associate in Nursingd Dec 2012 internet examination is an aberration then the Court ought to even be given a choice to scrap it with due penalties to UGC.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sugar, a Glastonbury Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Glastonbury, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Glastonbury.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Glastonbury already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Glastonbury breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Glastonbury paves the way for another one to be saved.

RealStreaMedia is a production company in Los Angeles looking for participants in communities across the United States for it's not for profit Documentary "Out in the Open", premiering at OUTFEST, 2012.
"Out in the Open" is geared towards empowering LGBTQ youth all around the world by interviewing LGBTQ and Straight allies alike to create awareness and stop the abuse and bullying once and for all.
By Jeff Walsh
Umm, I try not to be overly-sensitive about things. In fact, I sort of hate political correctness, but I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry was just amazing in its ability to cart out every gay stereotype known to man, but tag one little message at the end and get the GLAAD seal of approval (further proof of its uselessness).
Granted, we are shown that this movie exists in a different reality from the start because every girl under the sun wants to sleep with Adam Sandler and he is the hot guy used on their fireman's calendar for February (Was James Mr. January and the calendar gets hotter as the year progresses?). I did like how that was used as a clue to the audience that the movie was not going to exist in actual reality. From the very start, we are given the rules by which the movie will play: Adam Sandler is one of the hottest things going on in this town. I'm fine buying into the conceits of any film, though. But come on, sure Adam Sandler can get any girl now, but I can't imagine that pre-SNL this was the case.

Pet Valu, Inc. is a specialty retailer of pet food and pet-related supplies.
Pet Valu, Inc. is a specialty retailer of pet food and pet-related supplies. With 350 franchised stores located throughout Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the company offers national and premium brands ofpet foods, private label pet foods and pet supplies. Select Pet Valu stores are also equipped with self-wash centers where pet owners can wash their pets.
To capture the organization's natural and holistic approaches to pet care, Pet Valu management decided to update the look of its new and existing stores to create a more boutique-like feel. At the company's new 5,000 square-foot store in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, displays were made more inviting and authentic wood-look flooring – rather than stark white tile – was specified for a warmer look. The management team searched for a durable floor that would:• Stand up to the daily traffic created by 100 to 150 daily customers and their pets• Withstand the pressure and movement of pallet jacks used to stock product displays• Be water and stain resistant, particularly in the pet wash areas• Be easy to maintain over the long term
"We looked at quite a bit of flooring, and researched a number of flooring manufacturers," commented Joe Dent, US General Manager of Pet Valu. "Friends in the flooring business recommended Karndean because a large, well-known retailer in our area had successfully used their flooring systems. I met with Karndean at the GlobalShop Show in Las Vegas, reviewed the product lines, and was very excited about what I saw."
Joe and his Pet Valu colleagues selected Van Gogh in the Copper Gum finish (VGW33T) for use throughout the retail and wash areas of the store.
The Pet Valu team is extremely pleased with the look and performance of their new Karndean floor, and is currently planning to install Karndean products in six additional stores. Three of the installations will occur in the spring of 2011, and each location will use different Karndean products for a customized look.
