Faculty Spotlight
Fall 2014
Dr. Patrice Boyles was selected as the 2014 NCBEA Teacher of the Year Award for Outstanding Contributions to Business Education by a Senior College or University Business Teacher! This honor was recognized by the North Central Business Education Association (NCBEA) for her dedication and service to her students, her school, and her profession!
The teacher of the year awards will be presented during the IBEA/NCBEA Fall Conference being held this year at the Bloomington-Normal Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Normal, Illinois, from November 12-14, 2014.
Fall 2013
Diversity can manifest itself in a variety of ways. The difference between urban and rural environments, for example—historically an overlooked segment of the diversity spectrum—can be particularly valuable for educa-tors to be familiar with. "Our pre-service teachers, who traditionally work in urban placements" notes Dr. Timothy Harrington, "need a more global look at the similarities and differences in other settings."
After a series of long discussions with colleagues Dr. Miguel Fernandez and Dr. Cynthia Valenciano, plans emerged for a week-long immersion experi- ence for pre-service teachers in various rural envi- ronments. The three of them traveled around the Midwest to find appropriate sites, in the process recognizing the full significance of the program they were creating. As part of the immersion experience they were developing, it became apparent that a research study should accompany the program, with the pre- service teachers themselves guiding it.
The program proceeded with ten pre-service teachers from five different College of Education programs spending one week in three different rural environments: a small farming town school; a K-6 school with only three teachers; and a tribal school on a reservation. From their experiences, they were then asked to share their personal insight through a series of research questions.
"I participated in the program," explains student teacher Mr. M
ark Wesolowski, "in order to understand how bias affects the developing educator in a number of ways, from how learning materials are created to student-teacher interaction." That under- standing, however, was not intended to be passively observed, but actively engaged with on a personal level. In a very real way, the focus of the immersion experience was not necessarily the students or the rural communities, but the pre-service teachers themselves. As fellow participant, Ms. Ange- la Biggins Logwood, says about her own in- volvement, "I went into this experience with an open mind. I was a sponge, prepared to absorb and learn anything and everything I could about teaching in a setting that is un- familiar, and to see the inherent biases that can come with that."
Of the ten pre-service teachers who partici- pated in the immersion experience, three decided to join Drs. Fernandez, Harrington, and Valenciano, in the research process that followed. The paper that resulted, titled, "Rural Field Experiences with Urban Pre-Service Teachers," was co-presented by the six of them at the Center for Scholastic Inquiry's International Academic Research Confer-ence in Scottsdale, Arizona. Their paper so impressed fellow conference goers that, among the 50 institutions in attendance, representing 23 states and 4 countries, they were awarded both "Best Session Presentation—Education Track" and "Best Paper— Education Track." Their paper has since been published in the Journal of Scholastic Inquiry: Education.
With the remarkable success of the program thus far, its sponsors have no intention of slowing down. In fact, they see potential for further development. "We hope to look specifically at the tribal school site, to research cultural diversity and acceptance within its community as it relates to what our students at CSU think about cultural diversity and belonging," explains Dr. Harrington. Whatever direction the program takes in the future, one thing seems certain: many future educators will be treated to an invaluable experience of discovery.

Clemson Memorial Stadium
Attendance: 81,500
Clemson, SC (Sports Network) - Jacory Harris threw three of his four touchdown passes to Leonard Hankerson, and No. 16 Miami-Florida held on to defeat Clemson, 30-21, despite being kept out of the end zone in the second half in the ACC opener for both programs.
Harris completed only 13-of-33 passes for 205 yards and was intercepted twice, but Hankerson was his go-to target, catching seven balls for 147 yards to give the Hurricanes (3-1, 1-0 ACC) their second straight road win since a loss at Ohio State.
Kyle Parker had a tough day under center for the Tigers (2-2, 0-1), going 14- of-33 through the air with three interceptions and a lost fumble. Andre Ellington amassed 146 yards from scrimmage with three TDs in the loss, the team's second straight against a ranked opponent having dropped an overtime game at Auburn two weeks ago.
Trailing 27-21 with 8 1/2 minutes left in the game, Clemson had the ball at the Miami 20-yard line and opted to go for the first down on 4th-and-1.
Ellington, though, was stopped for no gain on a toss to the right, and the Hurricanes held the ball for the next 5:40, settling for a 29-yard Matt Bosher field goal for a 30-21 advantage.
Bosher made a huge tackle on the kickoff, stopping Marcus Gilchrist at the Miami 47. On the next play from scrimmage, Parker lost a fumble near midfield.
The 'Canes wound up punting the ball back with just over a minute left, and their defense capped a six-turnover effort by picking off Parker to seal the win.
"I thought we came in and hung in with them pretty well, but six turnovers is not how you win a game," Parker said.
Miami opened the scoring six minutes in when Harris found Hankerson wide open down the middle of the field for a TD on 3rd-and-14 from the Clemson 22.
Three minutes later, Ellington answered with a 71-yard rumble to paydirt, then capped a 10-play, 63-yard drive early in the second frame on a 14-yard draw.
On the third play of the next drive, Hankerson got behind the secondary and hauled in Harris' lofted pass for a 65-yard score to tie it.
The teams traded interceptions later in the second, with Marcus Forston's pick setting Miami up at the opposing 18. On the next play, Mike James came out of the backfield unaccounted for and caught an easy TD toss from Harris. The extra point was blocked.
Another Parker interception 24 seconds before halftime helped Miami extend its lead, as Hankerson caught a 22-yard pass prior to bringing in a seven-yard slant just past to goal line for a 27-14 cushion heading to the break.
"If we can keep creating turnovers, we are going to be better as a football team," Miami head coach Randy Shannon said. "That was huge for us."
Clemson won the field position battle in the third, and an Ellington-led 56- yard drive culminated in the running back taking a toss to the left side for a three-yard TD with under three minutes to play before the fourth.

Welcome to ghost world: the temporal plane where high school friends Enid Coleslaw and Rebecca Doppelmeyer are caught, having finished high school, suspended in the moment between adolescence and adulthood. This extract is indicative of the episodic plotless drift of the narrative; a collection of virtually self-contained chapters connected by the characters and setting. We see Enid and Rebecca visit an 'Original '5o's Diner' – a pastiche location drained of any sense of historicity . It is the category of the spatial that is surely the most intriguing and perhaps the most overlooked here. The 'ghost world' is also a term that recalls Marc Augé's notion of 'non-places', those transient homogenized contemporary urban and suburban spaces that Augé sees as a typical by-product of what he terms supermodernity. Such non-places are the result of the supermodern excess of time and space that sever meaningful connections with history and place:
If a place can be defined as relational, historical and concerned with identity, then a space which cannot be defined as relational, or historical, or concerned with identity will be a non-place.
(Augé, 1995 pp. 77-78).
By mapping Augé's notion of non-places onto the grids of Ghost World we can get an idea of how such supermodern environments are represented via a medium particularly well suited to figuring spatial representations. Thierry Groensteen suggests intuitively that architectural metaphors are frequently invoked to describe what he calls 'the general economy of the [comics] page' stating, perhaps rather obviously, that: '[i]ndeed the page resembles a house that has several stories.' (2007, p. 58). But I would suggest that the comics page also possesses a cartographic quality, mapping narrative space and place, the flattened regular rectilinear grids an analogue for the instrumentalised blocks of towns and cities.
At one point Enid tells Rebecca; 'This is so depressing…How everything is all the same no matter where you go.' (2008, p. 74). The non-places of Ghost World's setting are located in an anonymous (sub)urban sprawl of fast food joints with ersatz décor and second-hand ambience, out of town shopping malls, and blank expanses of low rise blocks. Clowes manages to suggest a world invaded by franchises while cannily avoiding specific references (this ellipsis filled in by the reader from his/her own experiences and environment): non-places are not nowhere places – they are everywhere and interchangeable. This sense of interchangeability is underscored by Clowes' own comments on the anonymised setting of Ghost World: 'a vaguely suburban, half-Southern California, palm treed American sprawl (with various architectural touches from the Chicago of my youth).' (2008, 'Introduction, p. i). 'What reigns there', writes Augé 'is actuality, the urgency of the present moment.' (p. 104).
The characters wander aimlessly through a bland landscape of seemingly endless, blank low rise buildings, the smooth glossy surfaces of supermodern America punctured by the mysterious graffiti artist who paints 'Ghost World' on walls, garage doors, fences etc. Michel de Certeau, theorist of space and the everyday, proposed the categories of 'strategies' and 'tactics.' The strategy is 'the calculation (or manipulation) of power relationships' that regulates social relations (de Certeau, p. 35-6). The tactic is that which 'must play on and with a terrain imposed on it' taking advantage of opportunities (1984, p. 37). The graffiti can be read as a tactic against the strategy of the non-places the girls inhabit., unsettling the rationalised cartographic grid of the comics page.
This environment, needless to say, affects them and their choices intensely. Their artfully contrived dialogue emphasises their attempts to construct some kind of critical distance from their environment and the banal mass of consumer choices on offer, a distance that fails to materialise (at least until the poetic conclusion), lapsing into an inadequate ironic insulation. The characters reach a point of indecision perplexed and unimpressed by the choices they face, with Enid about to go to university and Rebecca into the world of precarious employment. Enid's reaction against the blank consumer landscape is to buy a hearse as her first car to drive to college, an escape route from the somnambulant ghost world. Rebecca, meanwhile, ends up working in exactly the kind of non-place fast food outlet the girls used to aimlessly hang out.

Indian Food: B is for… Bhuna Chicken
Over six years ago when I first introduced the Intro to Indian Food series of this very blog, I had no idea I was about to start a cult following. What started as a simple desire to help a few of my friends and readers learn the basics of Indian cooking, enabling them to enjoy good food cooked in the comforts of home using fresh, readily available, and healthy ingredients, turned out to be one of THE best decisions I ever made in my writing/blogging career. The series was soon picked up by The Mississauga News as a monthly feature in their food section. Over the years, I've received a ton of emails and comments on those posts from folks eager to learn more, much more, about Indian food. And it has been a true pleasure for me responding to each and every one of those queries.
I've been reading through a lot of feedback from you guys on the kind of content you'd like me to showcase more of on HoH. Let me just say that I have a couple of fun features/ideas that should take off soon that I'm sure you'll enjoy very much. One of them that makes me giddy with excitement is a spin off from my Indian 101 series. I know that a lot of you have asked me to bring that back, but I think I can offer you something a step further. Join me, as I cook my way from A to Z of Indian Food. Each post in this series will showcase a recipe of a dish that begins with a letter from the alphabet. I'll try my best to pick a variety of vegetarian, non-vegetarian and vegan recipes – both restaurant favourites, and simple home cook secrets.
- A is for… Achari Mushrooms
- B is for… Bhuna Chicken
- C is for… Chatpati Bhindi
- D is for… Dhabewali Dal Tadka
- E is for… Egg Curry
- Kitchen Essentials
- Part 1: Know your Spice
- Part 2: A Lesson in Lentils
- Part 3: Pickles and Chutneys
- Part 4: Indian Street Food
- Part 5: Cooking Curry for Beginners
- BONUS 1: How NOT to Cook Indian Food
- BONUS 2: How to Cook Indian Meals in 20 Minutes
Okay, so I'm back with the next episode in this series and today we're on to the letter B. B for Bhuna Chicken. Bhuna is technique of cooking, which simply means to fry the flavour base or masala really well till it starts to caramelize and give out oil along the sides. This method of cooking ensures a robust burst of flavour in the dish and the end result is always a warm, comforting bite. It does take a bit of extra time and a watchful eye to make sure that the masala is cooking well without getting burnt. The secret to this, I believe, is low and slow. Keep the heat low and stir slowly every now and then.
This recipe is perfect for a weekend meal when you have the time and mood to putter about in the kitchen with nothing much else to tug at your attention. It also tastes even better the next day since the spices and flavour and enough time to penetrate and mingle through. Because of this, I love to serve this dish at dinner parties when I know I can cook it either the previous night or early that morning. Other than the little bit of extra time it takes to bhuno the masala, this recipe is fairly simple and a treat to eat.

As electric vehicle sales rev up, there are concerns that more battery-powered and plug-in hybrid cars might disrupt the nation's power grids.
If a large number of electric vehicles (EVs) in close proximity plug in at peak times — like after work on a hot summer's day — it could prompt a power surge and overwhelm the local transformer. But a new report by the Texas-based Pecan Street Research Institute finds there may be little to fear, at least in the near term.
In a study of vehicle charging in a neighborhood with one of the highest residential concentrations of electric cars in the country, researchers found that owners are charging their EVs much less during hot summer afternoons than most behavioral models predicted.

Wow, what a disappointment. Little pigmentation, VERY hard to blend, and I hardly ever use it. I thought that a grey would be a nice color to add to my neutrals but this falls short.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Muted blue-grey, satin.
Scene is a matte light grey colour I use mainly for daytime smokey looks. It's easily blended to whatever colour you choose and since it's grey, goes with anything and matches all skintones. It's nothing special in itself, but if you're preferential to MAC's Matte formula, then it's good. Pigmentation is great and intensity can be layered or washed out easily.
Great for a smoky eye! Nice color, a nice medium gray with some purple undertones. Beautiful for my blue eyes!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a basic, mid-grey cool shade. I like it in the crease of a smoky eye. However, it's quite hard to blend - it drags and goes blotchy. There are better formulas out there (even in similar colours from MAC) so I doubt I would repurchase.
i was in need of a medium gray e/s and this was it. great as a lid color with humid or club in outer corner/crease.
this is a great color for a neutral eye - but also goes well with bright colors too.
staple in my e/s stash

I was looking for a matte gray color for Fall and this was perfect. I think I bought it because Kandee Johnson recommended it. I put this all the way around my eyes along with with a shimmery purple eyeshadow and tons of black liner and mascara. I love using this color underneath my eyes. It's now almost Spring and I'm still using this color almost daily, I've never used up an eyeshadow so fast in my life. I've had eyeshadows for 5 years and can't see as much pan as I can with my Scene. Definitely will repurchase soon.
I love this eyeshadow! I used it over the lid with Brown Down in the crease and it looked wonderful. All of my friends commented on how pretty my shadow was. Definitely a great buy!
I love love love this! This eyeshadow is perfectly pigmented, easy to work with, and the shade is even more beautiful in actual use than in the package. This makes my blue yes really pop :)
I LOVE the color of this shadow, but I guess I'm one of the few who had great difficulty building this up. It was almost cheap like, maybe I got a bad batch because the tester at the store was soft, but the new one I received was hard and didn't stick to the eyelid well even with primer. But OMG it made my green eyes look so pretty with a little bit of black eyeliner. That's the only reason I love it, one of the prettiest colors I've tried on my eyes in a long time.

Best Store at FlatIron Crossing Denver 2001 - Coldwater Creek
Readers' Choice: Nordstrom
For years we'd scrutinized the Coldwater Creek catalogue, checking out the colorful apparel and intriguing jewelry while trying desperately to avoid the treacly copy that described each item. And then Coldwater Creek opened its first Colorado store in FlatIron Crossing, doing Denver shoppers a great service in the process. While some of the clothes look, well, a tad matronly in person (can you say "shmatte"?), other Coldwater Creek mainstays move to the head of the class. The jewelry can be a real deal, and if you can't find a gift here for everyone on your Christmas list, you're not really trying.

Frontline: The Interrupters
Tuesday, Feb. 14, 9 p.m.
During one weekend in Chicago in 2008, 37 people were shot, seven of them fatally. FRONTLINE follows a group of older former gang leaders trying to "interrupt" shootings and protect their communities from the violence they once committed.
The film follows the inner workings of CeaseFire, an innovative program in Chicago designed to prevent shootings, including weekly meetings where the interrupters report on the simmering disputes and the senseless shootings in their neighborhoods.
From director Steve James (Hoop Dreams, Stevie), "The Interrupters" is a compelling observational journey into the stubborn, persistent violence that plagues our American cities.

Dime Q&A: John Starks On The Old Knicks, The New Knicks & Facing Michael Jordan
As one of the anchors for a 90s Knicks team that saw eight straight playoff berths during his tenure – including a visit to the NBA Finals in 1994 – John Starks can definitely relate to the recent success the Knicks are having. Known for his clutch shooting, tenacious defense and a dunk heard 'round the world, Starks (minus the high-top fade) is still involved with the NBA at an executive level, as the Alumni and Fan Development Advisor for the New York Knicks. I got up with Starks at a press conference for Ektio Shoes (footwear designed to prevent ankle injuries) to talk Knicks basketball, covering Michael Jordan and the NBA's best golfers. Read More »

Seiko Slimstick Tracks Your Every Move
This modern twist on the classic pedometer doesn't just track your steps, it lets you keep tabs on the quality of the exercise you get during your day-to-day life.
Unlike meters that just count your steps, the Seiko SlimStick uses modern dual-axis accelerometers to track the magnitude of your movements, giving greater value to more intensive exercise. Just clip the compact SlimStick onto your clothes or stick it in a pocket, and it'll track your activity level.
The SlimStick can count calories burned over the course of the day, amount of time you were active, the number of steps you walked as well as an overall exercise quality score. It'll store up to twelve weeks of summary data, so you can check your progress over time.
All those smarts fit into a sleek brushed aluminum case that's just about the size of a pack of chewing gum. They're available in silver, pink or gold metal finishes, and retail between ¥5,775 and ¥6,984 (appx. $55 to $67 USD). Seiko is currently selling these only in Japan, where you can find them at AssistOn.

2 February 2013
I'm in the Jar!
Especially to myself, I go "I WILL do this, and it will be fabulous!" and it comes around to the time where I address what I've done and... nope. Didn't do it.
Karen is a special sort of crazy, and has recorded a whopping amount of 187 sewing resolutions for 2013, stuck them in a jar, and come the beginning of next year, those 187 people will be held accountable to her and her blog about the resolutions.
I only put one of my sewing resolutions in the jar, and that's because I fear this will be the one thing that I won't stick to - I'm seemingly afraid of colour. I like red, sure, but my clothing is predominantly BLACK.
And black is cool, I suppose, but ultimately boring.
So I pledge, that by this time next year I will have branched out from my plain blacks and reds;
I will make at the absolute least three items that are not black.
I will make at least three items that are not plain.
I will also step out of my comfort zone and make at least one non-full-skirted dress/skirt, one dress with sleeves, and step away from concealed zips on dresses.
These are my pledges, and once I'm standing before Did You Make That, I will have made some beautiful clothes that are not black.
Ideas and inspiration for using/working with patterned fabric and/or getting some colour into the wardrobe are quite welcome!

You can totally accomplish these things. And it looks lik eyou have lovely blue eyes, why not start with something in a shade of blue that shows them off?
ReplyDelete - joelle.stlaurent2 February 2013 at 18:00
great sewlutions! my problem is that i love the colours and prints at the fabric store, and then end up not wearing the finished garment... need to work on feeling good in colors and prints! but i think you have the right approach, little steps! start with deep jewel shades, and not mustard, small flowery and geometric prints and not crazy zebra print. oh. well, that was for me ;)
ReplyDelete Oh, it's not that I hate prints and colours, I do pick up fabric and weep with excitement as any sewist does, it's just I have a... colour-matching ocd, if you will. And if I feel a colour doesn't go with red, with having red hair I will ignore that colour forever!
Just by the idea of people being able to judge me for not sticking to my guns, I've already thought of a royal blue dress to make, got an idea for the pink fabric in my stash, and had a look at coloured ginghams for the summer!
Although your ban on zebra print... possibly a good idea ;D

Keynetix – home of the UK's most widely used geotechnical laboratory management system KeyLAB; were delighted to have made it to the final of the UK Trade & Investment's West Midlands' National Challenge: Exporting for Growth Awards.
Keynetix were showcasing their KeyLAB software; a management tool for use in Geotechnical Laboratories. The software is widely used in UK labs across the country but has now been implemented throughout larger companies in Australia and New Zealand. The newer features of KeyLAB allows companies with multiple labs to not only use the same system and only enter the data once, but also be able to view the data remotely from one of their other locations lending itself to these export locations.
Keynetix made it to the final at the ICC in Birmingham after competing in a "Dragons' Den" style audition in front of a panel made up of UKTI and independent specialists.
Doug Mahoney, Regional Director for UKTI West Midlands said "The standard of entries was excellent. It has been extremely difficult to narrow the entrants down to nine finalists and the quality and innovation of the ideas demonstrate what we already know – that the West Midlands is a hotbed of talent and innovation. Exporting is crucial for firms to sustain their business and grow during the economic downturn."
The awards took place on 21st March and there were 9 finalists in all, all of which were fantastic products that have been designed and manufactured in the UK by UK companies and they will all be looking to export them world-wide with the assistance of UKTI and event sponsors HSBC and PWC.

Antiwar Europe Worries About Saddam Hussein Trial
For European online commentators who opposed the invasion of Iraq, the trial of Saddam Hussein is a welcome event, with worrisome undertones. Two concerns stand out: International legal norms may not be observed because of U.S. influence and the proceedings will intentionally avoid examining the U.S. alliance with Hussein in the 1980s.
Le Monde, the Paris daily that tenaciously defends multilateralism, has straightforward news coverage. The paper sent a reporter to Dujail, the scene of the first crime for which Hussein will be tried -- the massacre of 143 people after a failed assassination attempt in July 1982. The imam of a local mosque, a follower of anti-American radical cleric Moqtada Sadr, told the reporter that Sunnis from neighboring villages have mounted many attacks on the town since it was announced that Hussein would be charged for the Dujail incident. He said he wished the trial would be postponed. Another man said he wanted to remind the Sunni attackers that Hussein had once killed 50 Sunnis in a single day in the city of Samara.
Le Monde has a separate story on the concerns of Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International that the tribunal process will not be fair or meet international law standards.
(An explanation of the trial, the court's standards and the prosecution and defense cases can be found here.)
Liberation, a leftist daily in Paris, interviewed one of Hussein's former lawyers who said that Dujail was chosen for political reasons. "There is no risk that someone will mention the name of [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld, for example," said Ziad al-Khassaouneh, a Jordanian lawyer who was on Hussein's defense team until last summer. Rumsfeld, as special envoy for then-President Reagan, met with Hussein twice in 1983-84 as part of a secret U.S. effort to bolster Iraq's government, which was then fighting a war against Iran.
I could find no mention of the French government's ties to Hussein's regime in French commentary.
Germany's Spiegel Online coverage is detailed, especially about U.S. support for the tribunal and the brutality of Hussein's rule. The newsweekly notes that "Saddam's attorneys are also anxious to call as a witness US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who met with the dictator in 1983.
"The fact that this is unlikely to happen has prompted complaint -- even from Iraqi Minister of Justice Abdel Hussein Shandal -- that the Americans are exerting too much influence over the trial. 'It seems there are lots of secrets they want to hide,' said Shanda," according to SO.
The editors of the Guardian, the most vocal British newspaper opposing the war, summed up the antiwar media consensus.
"It is right that [Hussein] be called to account for terrible crimes committed both against his own people and others -- whether or not he was then a friend of the west, or indeed whether the US-led war that overthrew him was itself legal. But even the end of a nightmare has to stand up to international scrutiny. Justice, as ever, must be seen to be done."

Are these the only European newspapers to cover the trial? It's hard to believe that no European newspaper published a report that took a more positive view of this event. This report tell us only about the anti-war segment of Europe. While this group may represent a substantial majority, it is misleading to leave out coverage that takes a more positive tone.
Posted by: Chris | October 19, 2005 10:35 AM
You're wrong to say The Guardian was 'the most vocal British newspaper opposing the war.' The Independent also opposed the war, and was - and remains - considerably more vocal than The Guardian in staking out that position. The tabloid The Daily Mirror was also more vocal than the Guardian in opposing the war. And the Financial Times, while more restrained in its coverage, also opposed Bush's ill-conceived adventure in Iraq. All of these newspapers saw their credibility enhanced as a result of their positions, unlike U.S. media outlets (including the Washington Post and the New York Times), which, by running unfounded scare stories on WMD spun by administration sources, allowed themselves to become mouthpieces for the Bush propaganda campaign in the run-up to war and whose credibility has yet to recover. European media, unlike American media, offered the public a variety of perspectives on this war before it began. That diversity of perspective has served the European public well. The lack of it, prior to the war, in the U.S., helped bring about thousands of needless deaths. It's not just the Bush administratoin that has a lot to answer for. U.S. media have a lot to answer for too.

Hi, Just to let you know that I am French and that I can tell you that there has been an extensive coverage of France-Iraq ties in the 1980's and after...just like the Americans by the way... The Western World wanted to have an ally against the USSR and that's why they met with Sadam Hussein. Of course, France has always has "special ties" with the Arab world.
In addition, this is Sadam Hussein's trial, not the trial of the Iraqi war so I don't see why the French ties with the regime would be evoked.
Posted by: Elle | October 19, 2005 11:14 AM
Jefferson Morley quotes The Guardian as saying, "But even the end of a nightmare has to stand up to international scrutiny. Justice, as ever, must be seem to be done." While one can readily concur with this statement, we must also consider the current climate wherein there is a loud clamor for the head of Saddam, no matter what. Quick justice is not necessarily fair justice, though.
What might be required, I think, is fair process. As in every criminal case, both prosecutors and defendents must be given a fair hearing and political pressure must be off limits. I doubt this is ever going to happen.
Posted by: Joe M. | October 19, 2005 11:31 AM
The world allowed this man and others like him to create such a society. Therefore, the world should know keep its nose out of this and let the Iraqi people handle it. Fair or unfair trial, this is between the Iraqi people and ONLY the Iraqi people.
Posted by: Iraq Vet | October 19, 2005 12:11 PM
If the U.S. and Iraqis give Saddam an unfair trial, it will go down in history that way and it will create martyrs in his name. That is the last thing the world needs. All criminals need to be given a fair trial and face the punishment that awaits them. The U.S. needs to be an example to the rest of the world, proving that our our legal values are universal and aren't applied arbitrarily. Give Saddam a fair trial so he can face fair punishment.
Posted by: MS | October 19, 2005 01:48 PM
I didn't say that The Guardian was the only antiwar paper in the UK and I didn't mean to give that impression. I'll stick my view that The Guardian was "the most vocal" because it ran many more pieces against the war than the other two.
Posted by: Jefferson Morley | October 19, 2005 02:37 PM
Mr James Thompson takes pains to illustrate that the European press gave its "public a variety of perspectives on this war before it began. That diversity of perspective has served the European public well." He goes on to fault the US media for lack of the same.
Then tell us, Mr Johnson, what were the European media outlets that could have been considered pro-war in their approach? Where is this variety you speak of? Didn't at least one European media outlet explore the upside of a world without Saddam Hussein in power?
Posted by: C2TBF | October 19, 2005 04:32 PM
non-europeans - including non-european-americans and those least indocrinated into eurocentric-supremacist-ideology (which is an ideology that fundamentally values the life of europeans/european-americans moreso than the lives of non-europeans/non-european-americans...) will see the intellectual dishonesty and unequal treatment of 'leaders', peoples, and countries by europeans/european-americans - even moreso than what is obvious to europeans/european-americans... many non-europeans/non-european-americans live amoungst and at mercy of europeans/european-americans... and are often subject to unequal treatment before durring and after so called "fair trials". although there are 'fair' skinned people who also don't get fair trials, dark skinned people are essentially precluded from a 'fair trial' - even by other dark skinned people.
but in any case, justice is not served nor is equality amoung human beings evident

>I could find no mention of the French government's ties to Hussein's regime in French commentary.
At least there is one (http://nouvelobs.reverso.net/url/obsResult.asp?directions=65544&template=Default&autotranslate=1&url=http://permanent.nouvelobs.com/etranger/20051019.OBS2720.html):
The ex-secretary of the Foreign affairs -Roland Dumas- noted besides that " there is too much unpacking in prospect(perspective) " in this lawsuit. " You should not lose sight that Saddam Hussein had relations privileged with all the countries of the West, as well the Americans, the English people that the French people ".
" We can ask the question to know if this first lawsuit is not exactly made to avoid the others, the thorough lawsuit, (...) On his schemes during twenty years, on his collusions with the western countries "
I could not find much mention of the US government's ties to Hussein's regime in US commentary either.
Posted by: | October 19, 2005 05:11 PM
Thanks for the link.
My point is that no governments care to delve into their close relationships with Saddam Hussein's regime, the United States perhaps least of all.
Posted by: Jefferson Morley | October 19, 2005 05:36 PM
I don't think it matters to U.S. or Western governments what action is taken against Saddam Hussein. If he is hanged or put in jail for life, the situation is resolved from their point of view. It will be one of those two options.
However this is an Iraqi Court, and they do not play by Western Rules. There were a lot of mass graves in Iraq, and it is highly probable that he will be hanged.
However, it is my belief that, that for the sake of resolving internal conflicts in Iraq, it would be better if he would turned over to the International Court for trial. He would live out his days in prison, but you would create no martyr for a segement of the Iraqi population.
Of course, this is not a likely as there are too many mass graves in Iraq. There are too many Iraqis that want him dead.

Whatever the reality of the trial is, if it is PERCEIVED as manipulated or swayed by US interests, we might be in some serious trouble. The last thing we need right now is one more example (real or imagined) of America throwing its' weight around.

C2TBF challenges me to name some European media that were pro-war. That's easy: many if not most of the right-wing outlets - and there are many of these in Europe - supported Bush on Iraq. In Britain, the Telegraph and the Times of London were pro-war, as were most of the tabloids. In Italy, whose pro-war prime minister owns most of the country's media outlets, there was no shortage of pro-war coverage either. In fact, if anything, Europe's anti-war majority came to this view **despite** media efforts to sell Bush's war. Yes, despite the strong airing given to pro-war views in Europe, there was also something resembling a debate, with opposite perspectives given a fair airing as well.
This is in sharp contrast to the U.S., whose news media quickly abandoned their duties as impartial observers and hopped on the pro-war bandwagon, with the tragic results we see today. (Judith Miller's shameful complicity with Cheney's office is but one of the more infamous examples of this.)
One can only hope that Amerians will one day insist on a higher standard of journalism than what is now offered up by our news media, which quickly falls into line whenever a president utters the word "freedom," wraps himself in the stars and stripes and bangs the drum for war.
Maybe one day our media will live up to the standard set by the Europeans, whose media give voice to a much broader range of perspectives, and whose public is consequently much better informed of world affairs than ours.

It speaks to the moral depravity of Europe that they are more focused on having a trial that can embarrass the US than on having a trial whereby the prosecution presents evidence and the defense rebuts that evidence.
America was wrong to support Saddam Hussein, but whether America (or France) did so in the past is beyond the scope of this trial. Limiting Hussein's Lawyer's ability to call Rumsfeld does not make his trial unfair. It is merely an attempt to keep the evidence presented at trial relevant and on topic. Hussein, is on trial here not America. As much as you liberals hate that fact, whining is not going to change it.

From Jeff's writing, one would get the impression that the Guardian overthrew Saddam Hussein over US objections. It seems to me that Jeff is stretching mightily when he says that the Euro antiwar press considers Hussein's trial to be a "welcome" event, since the examples he cites are so grudging and pinched. There are plenty of good reasons to have opposed the war, but now that Hussein is actually on trial, the antiwar press has to find a way to avoid acknowledging the fact that it resolutely opposed bringing him to accountability. Focusing so sharply on the past sins of the United States allows those writers to obscure the fact that it is only through the efforts of the United States that this moment has come at all.

What "Andrew," above, fails to understand is that the U.S. go-it-alone approach to Iraq has totally undermined its credibility on this issue, and hence its war effort. The world knows full well that the Bush administration invoked false reasons for overthrowing Saddam, then thumbed its nose at the world and defied international law to invade Iraq unilaterally, even after everyone from the chief U.N. weapons inspector to other governments had correctly pointed out that the reasons being invoked by the U.S. were in fact unproven (and, as it now turns out, were patently untrue). As a result, the U.S. Iraq initiative has zero credibility inside Iraq or anywhere in the rest of the world. In that context, trying the former Iraqi dictator in a "court" that has no international standing, under U.S. rules that are designed to help the U.S. administration avoid further embarassment, only further undermines the credibility of the entire U.S. effort. Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done. In the world's eyes, justice has not been done, and is not being done, in Iraq. And like it or not, what the world thinks does matter. How many thousands more U.S. dead will it take to drum that simple fact into the heads of obstinate rightists like "Andrew"?
Posted by: Irwin from Canada | October 21, 2005 09:53 AM
Whatever our "go it alone" approach has done, Europe (and Canada) should be morally grounded enough to focus on Saddam Hussein receiving justice. In this case the people whose standards of justice needs to be satisfied are not Europes, or America's. Its Iraq's. I supported this war, but if Iraq decided not to convict Hussein, I would accept it. They suffered the most from his rule, so neither you, I, nor the "international community" have a right to tell them what to do with Hussein.
I am not here to argue with ignorant liberals about the war. If you would rather have Hussein back in power just say so, but rest assured neither I nor most of America (outside of NY and DC) care if you are offended by our "go it alone" approach. It seems that America ignoring a corrupt, weak, and phoney UN really does seem to upset the left, doesnt it? Get over it!
Most Americans are angry at the administrations poor handling of the war. They do not object to the war itself. I can sleep at night knowing that while I mourn the loss of our troops, I pray that they succeed in Iraq.
The left has put itself in a position where bad news for our troops is good news for them. Irwin, it seems that most of you leftist are actually cheering the insurgents on as long as it is bad news for Bush and America. Trust me Irwin, with "allies" like you up in Canada, we have learned that our allies act more like spoiled teenagers than friends who actually care about our country's well being. Based on the actions of you and those like you America will be all to happy to "go it alone" again and again.
Posted by: Andrew | October 21, 2005 09:46 PM
You just hit it right on the nose. Through all of this anti-americanism in the British and US press the "big white elephant" in the room, is that without America, this monster would still be at large.
Since that fact is unpalatable to the Guardian and the NY Times, they grudgingly acknowledge that to bring Saddam to justice is a good thing without admitting that if they had their way, none of this would be happening.
Posted by: Andrew | October 21, 2005 09:58 PM
You just don't get it, do you? Getting rid of Saddam was a fine idea but it had to be done right -- in full respect for international law and with the legitimate and defensible human-rights motives front and center. Instead, Bush invaded unilaterally, thumbed his nose at international law and at the well-founded concerns of his allies, ridiculing people like the chief U.N. weapons inspector (whose concerns about lack of evidence for WMD turned out to be well founded) and used lies and scare stories to justify the rush to war, shifting rationales after the fact when one scare story after another was revealed as bogus. Don't you see that by going it alone and invoking false reasons that were quickly debunked to justify this war, Bush and company have deprived the invasion and occupation of any legitimacy it might have had, both within Iraq and within the rest of the world. I and other Canadians would have supported sending Canadian troops to help get the job done had this been done in accordance with international law and with human-rights motives front and center. (That's why we're in Afghanistan.) But I would certainly not tolerate even one Canadian dying for a war that was sold by an arrogant U.S. government that pitched the whole adventure deceitfully and showed such immense disrespect for those who had the courage to call them on their WMD lies. Your government chose to go it alone, so it's your boys who are coming home in body bags, not ours, and it's your government that will bear the cost of cleaning up this immense and worsening fiasco. If you don't think you need the consent of the rest of the world to embark on these adventures, fine. But please don't be surprised when the rest of the world turns its back on you and leaves your nation carrying the full human and financial cost of these grotesque and ill-advised adventures. Reading comments from people like you makes me understand why nations like mine, once firm allies of the U.S., are turning anti-American. All your bellicose bluster cannot hide the fact that your government's stupid decision to go it alone and disregard international law has left it weaker, more vulnerable and more isolated than ever.
Posted by: Irwin from Canada | October 22, 2005 01:46 PM
Wow! Where to begin? First, I want to reiterate that you are right that I have no respect for you or most of the leftists in this world. I think the UN is a corrupt organization that was already antiamerican before Bush and the Iraq war.
Therefore, the idea that America should subcontract out its foreign policy to leftist anti-american Canadians and Europeans to me is comical. Contrary to your comments about me "just not getting it" I think it is you who just dont get it.
52% of Americans decided back in November that we have seen one too many Europeans burning the American flag, one too many Canadians politicians calling Americans "morons" and "bastards", and one too many leftist too ready to protest against America without mentioning a word about the stalinist homicidal dictator that American blood help to remove. We have decided quite frankly not to care what our so called "allies" think of us.
Irwin, we are tired of seeing our allies behave like spoiled children, tired of seeing British MPs who make friends with Saddam Hussein praised by the global left for standing up for the "truth" of America's "imperialism", and tired of seeing leftist human rights organizations compare a prison where a female Private sexually molests Iraqi terrorists to a "Gulag", where Stalin killed tens of millions of innocent people. Yes, Irwin I am very tired of people like you and your ilk.
Irwin, a majority of us, including me are angry at the President and the Pentagon for botching this war. Their planning for this conflict was awful. I am stunned that they made as many mistakes as they have. Polls show a majority of Americans agree with me. But dont mistake that with actually caring about what socialist, anti-american, college freshman protester types thinks of the United States.
One last thing, what exactly would or could Canada have contributed to the war in Iraq even if you joined us? Would Canadian "aircraft carriers" have helped reduce the number of US dead? What exactly would the French ship "Charles DeGaulle" have done to save the helpless American military? Do you think the Luxembourg Air Force would have been a decisive factor if only Bush had been more "sensitive" to the feelings of well meaning leftist Canadians and Europeans? What in the world do you think you could do to help us? Your militaries are already lightyears behind that of the US and the UK.
Anyway, the point is, we are tired of you Irwin. We are very tired of your ankle-biting, sneering, and sniping. All of your hypocrisy and hysteria has desensitized us, so that even if in the future, you do offer well meaning criticism, we no longer want to hear your whining. You have burned all the credibility you could possibly have with the "American Street". In sum, most of us dont care what you think.
Posted by: Andrew | October 22, 2005 04:06 PM
Andrew, I read an awful lot of insults in your last posting but nothing in the way of substantive responses to the points I raised. This leads me to believe you're bereft of arugments.
So you're "tired" of Canada, "tired" of Europe, "tired" of the citizens of just about every foreign country, it seems, except the miniscule minority outside the U.S. who are still buy in to the hogwash that's been peddled by your Bush administration on Iraq.
I do appreciate that it must be difficult for folks like you - raised as you are in a nation that puts patriotism ahead of logic - to comprehend that the rest of the world actually does count for something, and that America cannot simply thumb its nose at international law, launch pre-emptive wars on false premises, ignore the facts as reported by neutral bodies, and ignore the opinions of its friends.
But as those friends turn against you -- deny you petroleum, for instance, as more and more Canadians now want to do, or deny you military cooperation, as the Turks did on Iraq, or deny your warships docking rights, as New Zealand's just-re-elected government is doing -- you will slowly learn that cooperation, and respect, from allies is essential to your security.
Yes, you have lots of big warships, Andrew, but they aren't doing you a lot of good in Iraq, are they? And that's because your whole invasion of that country was bereft of legitimacy from the outset. How many more thousand dead Americans will it take to drum that basic fact through your thick skull?
But don't listen to me. Stick with Fox TV, the New York Post and Rush Limbaugh. They'll keep telling you what you want to hear.
Posted by: Irwin | October 23, 2005 12:57 AM
Right on, Irwin! I expect we'll be seeing more and more angry outbursts from the likes of Andrew and likeminded Republican true believers. This gang pushed ahead with this war, ignoring the law, and ignoring the evidence. Now they faced with criticism of the fiasco they created, and they are unable to rebut. Their only viable stance: anger and ersatz patriotism.

I have a performnace issue that I have been experiencing in Civil 3d 2013 and previous versions. I have a long delay after ending the layer freeze command when in layout mode. This happens for many of my drawings though not all. Purging and auditing seem to have no effect.
Civil 3d does not run the regen command after ending the layer freeze command, but it seems as though this is what's happening. Normal behaviour is when I freeze a layer and upon exiting the command the layers are no longer shown, no delays.
What could cause this?
Yes, sorry about the confusion. It only happpens when in a layout tab.
more info: After running the freeze command, if I want to change layouts I must click the different layout, wait for a refresh, then click the layout again before it will switch.
Try going into the Options dialog box, System tab, and check Cache model tab and all layouts. Maybe this will help. Also make sure your hardware acceleation is not on (3DCONFIG command)
CAD Manager
I'm giving this a try now, Tony. My hardware acceleration was already disabled but the Layout regen options was set to regen when switching layout.
That should help. If it still lags and you have any of these open, close them.
Layer manager, xref manager, toolspace, properties dialog and anything similar.
In Layouts/Paper Space I typically see things working faster when these dockables are closed.
Instead of using the "new" Layer Palette, try using the "old fashioned" Layer Dialog box. You can either enter the command CLASSICLAYER, or, set LAYERDLGMODE to 0.
Also try setting SHOWLAYERUSAGE to a value of 0 as well.
John, I do remember this help in the past with some performance. I'll try that out again. I have just been in the habit lately of leaving those windows open most of the time.
murray-clack, I'll check out the SHOWLAYERUSAGE variable and see what results I get. I'll also try using the classic layer manager too.
thanks guys.
No luck so far. Showlayerusage was already set to 0. I am keeping all dockable palettes closed and using the classic layer manager. Model and Layout tabs are all cached. I also decided to run recoverall on this project and nothing seems to have changed. Since I am working with files that were created in 2008 and have been upgraded each year I am just going to bet something happened along the way to cause some issues. If I find the culprit I'll update the thread.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is B B!
Facts about B B
- Breed: Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
B B's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
B B is a great 12 lb little boy. He is a great all around little dog.
Other Pets at Palm Beach Pet Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
B B, a North Palm Beach Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier for sale in North Palm Beach, or seeking a Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier dog from a breeder in North Palm Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Palm Beach 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 North Palm Beach 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 Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier breeders who help with Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Palm Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thanks to Trini for posting her pictures of wrapping her mangoes...I thought I would try using aluminum window screen instead since I already had a roll in the garage. I also thought I would try "sewing" mine instead of using a stapler since I'm out of staples and don't want to go to HD! Sewing them was surprising easy and much quicker than I thought...I just have to cut several more...Here's a couple that I wrapped to show you guys...I certainly hope it works!
Here's a picture of my very first cogshall starting to color up nicely. I'm wondering if I should pick it today? It also a lot earlier this year...I just checked my pictures from last year and my first Cogshall from my other tree didn't start getting color till June 17th...a full month early! Do you guys think I should pick it today or wrap this one and hope for the best? I'm trying to prevent them from tasting even one...because once they do...ITS ALL OVER! Pick it or wrap it? That's the question...
Here's a couple I wrapped today...
Here's one from the supposed Carrie tree? It is definitely looking NOT to be a Carrie at all...starting to look more like a Cogshall? I should be able to tell soon as its slowly coloring up now...
Thanks again Trini for posting those pictures...I hope this screen thing works as well as yours! Nancy |

Great pictures! Let us know how it works. Once my trees are big enough to fruit I will likely give this a try! |
What are you wrapping them against? What type insects have proven to be the most pesky? Or are you battling squirrels, rats, and the like? |
Looking good Pug! I didn't realize they were easy to sew. I like what you've done. I can't say about the half-ripe one. It's a tough call since I don't know how aggressive your varmints are :) Keep us updated on how they work. I hope they work as well for you as they have for me. T- |
Thanks guys...I used a stapler on the first one...but when I ran out of staples came up with the idea of sewing them and it was quite easy. I used zigzag stitches. But sure any stitch should work. Sun and Trini...I will let you guys know "if" it works? I decided to wrap the one that's ripening...its the sacrificial test. I hope I don't regret it! Carbos...its not bugs I'm trying to prevent...its just as you guessed! Squirrels, Raccoons and possums, you name it I have it my yard at night! I'm hoping the sight or feel of "something off" is enough to deter them...we'll see? |
Fear not Pug, there's always the hardware cloth (and 3 pairs of gloves) :) |
Nancy After looking at that mango and the tree,I think you may be correct about that being a Cogshall. The leaves have that semi curly edge like it and that mango looks like it to. Nice job on the bags!! M |
excellent strategy pugs - I'd have picked the Coloring Cogshall, but you've decided to keep it on the tree. But I think covered it should be fine - do you squeeze it occasionaly to see if it is ripening? It sure is a beauty! I know what you mean about some critter "discovering" it - I think that is exactly how this goes in the neighborhoods that don't grow mangos - the rats or squirrels or raccoons don't know what to make of it until they take that fatal nibble that leads to that rush of bliss..... BEST of luck..... Woofie |
Trini, I'm really hoping not to have to go that route...its the 3 pairs of gloves(and bleeding cuts on my hands) that scares me,lol... Hi Marin, visually it does really look like a Cogshall but hopefully taste will be the definitive test. Will let you guys know. "the rats or squirrels or raccoons don't know what to make of it until they take that fatal nibble that leads to that rush of bliss....." MD,You are SO right! Well, the good news is...the ripening one I left is still there...Yay!! I will decide tonight before it gets dark whether to pick that one or not? I did squeeze it a little and its still pretty hard. I'm sure it will ripen on the counter in a few days should I decide to pick it. Stay tuned... |
Okay...two nights in a row and the ripening Cogshall is still on the tree! I won't push my luck so I will pick the fruit tonight and let it finish ripening on the counter. |
A month tomorrow since I posted that picture...apparently that was a "loner" ripening mango. I've not picked a single one since then...So far they're all still on the tree and is beginning to get a nice color although they are still pretty hard. The next several days or even weeks (if they survive) that long, will be be the ultimate "varmints test" lol...whether they leave it alone or not? The riper they get the more "scent" they'll have...so hoping for the best. Cogshall sure gets a nice blush...its a very attractive mango. This is the one I bought as "Carrie", But apparently doesn't appear to be...this one is way behind the Cogshall tree. |

Thanks for the updated pics - those cogshalls sure are pretty! I'd love to see a picture of the inside of one when it is ripe. My tree is growing well this year - by far the best growth compared to my other mangos. Can't wait until it is big enough to fruit! Thanks for the encouraging pics=) |
Thanks Sun!! I will post pictures once I pick one and let you know. Happy to hear yours is growing well. |

Be careful what you wish for. At E3 last week, reports began circulating that a group of Christians were outside the convention center protesting against EA"s Dante"s Inferno. Days later, new reports circulated that the protesters weren"t protesters at all -- it was actually a staged publicity stunt by EA themselves. But the rancor that"s now appearing across Christian websites? Oh, that"s very much real.
As GamePolitics reports (via GameSpot), some Christians are not at all pleased with how they were portrayed in EA"s staged protest, where the fake protesters held signs reading "Hell is not a game," "My high score is in Heaven," and "Trade in your PlayStation for a PrayStation." As Margaret Cabaniss of InsideCatholic wrote, "It"s been clear for a while now that the entertainment industry views Christians on the whole as priggish, thin-skinned fun-killers... Has anybody at EA actually read the Inferno?"
Even harsher were the words that appeared on Catholic Video Gamers, where blogger Andy Kirchoff wrote the following:
