Anonymous Patron shares this story with us today.
"A book about punctuation, an unlikely best seller in any year, won the top prize Wednesday at the British Book Awards ceremonies.
Eats, Shoots & Leaves, a lighthearted look at the pitfalls of apostrophes and rampant commas, won the book of the year award for author Lynne Truss.
Alexander McCall Smith, author of a series of a very popular books about the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, was named author of the year."
My own favorite, quintessential example of why the proper and full use of the serial comma is so necessary is and continues to be: To my parents, Ayn Rand and God.
I like the title of that book though; as rife as it is with innuendo.
Be'cause my own, punctuation skills' are non:pariel}

Special Events
March for Babies!
We enjoyed participating in the March of Dimes March for Babies event on September 27th at Okeena Park in Dyersburg. We raised over $1500.00 to help in the fight against premature babies. One day, we hope all babies will be born healthy and happy!
We LOVE Fair Week!
Security Bank is proud to sponsor Special Needs Day and the Century Farmer's Dinner at the Dyer County Fair. The Dyer County Fair is one of the top fairs in the whole state, and we are blessed to help make it that way. We love feeding the special needs children in our community each year as well as feeding the farm families who have been in Dyer County for over 100 years.
Young Joins Security Bank as Vice President and Lender
David Hayes, President and CEO of Security Bank, announced today that John Young has joined Security Bank as a Vice President. Young will be concentrating on further growth and development of all aspects in lending and business development.
"We are glad to have another local person joining our team. John brings with him a great financial knowledge, and we are looking forward to him bringing his personal strengths to our bank. John will be an asset today and into the future," Hayes commented.
Young graduated from Dyersburg High School in 2005. He then went on to The University of Tennessee at Knoxville where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting. Upon returning to Dyersburg, he became a Certified Public Accountant.
"I am very proud to become a member of the Security Bank family," said Young. "Security Bank has all the credentials of a true community bank. With a very impressive management team, Security Bank has offered service to DyerCounty and the surrounding area with local ownership since 1931, endorsing a customer first attitude with a serious commitment to personal service. I am excited about the opportunity to serve my home town's lending needs with an organization such as Security Bank."
Young is heavily involved with the community through the Kiwanis Club of Dyersburg, the Salvation Army, Boy Scouts, and HOSTS Mentoring. He and his fiancée, Whitney, attend First United Methodist Church in Dyersburg.
It's Back to School Time!
Security Bank sponored the Dyersburg Primary School and Dyersburg Intermediate School Back to School Celebrations on July 30th. Employees helped blow up balloons, sell school supplies, and assist parents and students. Security Bank also contributed funds towards special guests in costumes and for door prizes. We hope all students, teachers, parents, and administraion have a great school year!
It's Graduation Time for Two of Security Bank's Own
Congratulations to Pam Tetleton and Chasity Norville! They are the recent graduates of Paul J. Barret, Jr. Graduate School of Banking. After completing three years of banking related curriculum, they graduated with sixty other classmates in Memphis, TN. All graduates received 125 hours of classroom instruction and prepared in-depth reports in eight areas of study.
Teaching Children to Save
The faster we can teach our children to save, the better our future will be! Security Bank recently participated in a UT Extension Project promoting money savings and the benefits of starting at an early age. We had a blast going to Dyersburg Primary School and making savings banks with the Second Grade Students. They were so creative and eager to start saving their money. Security Bank even gave them all a gold dollar to start their saving plan off right!
Spreading Christmas Cheer in 2013
Security Bank has helped out in many events this holiday season. We have participated in Chimes for Charity, Christmas in Sorghum Valley, packing food boxes for the Union Mission and the Kiwanis Club of Dyersburg, passing out food for Feed the Need, emcee'ing the Dyersburg Christmas Parade, preparing food for the Newbern Christmas Parade, and much, much more. We hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas!
Feeding our Community One Month at a Time
We at Security Bank realize how fortunate we are to have a great place to work, a roof over our heads, and food in our stomachs. We also realize not everyone is a fortunate as us. This is one reason we have participated in the Feed the Need program for 4 years now. Once a month we help bag food, check in participants, and hand out food to those in need. We strive to make our community a better place than the day before!

Grief and the US Civil War: a conversation with Drew Gilpin Faust
(Read article summary)Harvard University president Drew Gilpin Faust's book 'This Republic of Suffering' has been adapted into a PBS film which will air Sept. 19.
Matt Sayles/Invision/AP
The Civil War unleashed a tide of grief and mourning that remains unimaginable today when American wars are fought by the few.
On Tuesday evening, Sept. 19, PBS's "American Experience" documentary series will try to help us understand the toll – which for some would last well into the 20th century – by airing a new film titled "Death and the Civil War." It is based on the 2008 book "This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War" by historian Drew Gilpin Faust, president of Harvard University.
In a review for The Christian Science Monitor, Monitor Books editor Marjorie Kehe called the book "a harrowing but fascinating read" that "makes a convincing case that since the heartbreak of the Civil War the US has never been the same."
I talked to Faust last week about the Civil War's legacy of immense grief and mourning, the ways the war changed perceptions of American citizenship and government, and the evolution of her own beliefs as a child of the South.
Q: How did the death toll of the Civil War – an estimated 620,000 soldiers and 50,000 civilians and perhaps even more, according to a new estimate – change us as a nation?

HR Wave On Talent Gets New Name
Posted by Claire Schooley on April 12, 2013
Last month, I published an update to my 2011 Forrester Wave™ on talent management because the human resource management (HRM) market has experienced tremendous consolidation and many top-rated vendors have become part of other very large organizations. I defined "talent management" as encompassing performance, learning, succession planning, and career development. When I published my current Wave in March 2013, I continued to call it the "Talent Management Wave." This has caused confusion, because in the past two years, the word "talent management" has morphed to include recruiting, which also has seen incredible growth and change. As the Wave is a deep dive into more than criteria and focuses on 10 vendors, I could not include recruiting within the parameters of the Wave. Recruiting is also very different, with many integrations with small boutique vendors that provide important services. But the questions kept coming: "Where is recruiting?"
I decided that the title, not the content, was the problem. Therefore, this Wave has a new, more representative, title: "The Forrester Wave: Learning And Talent Development, Q1 2013." This title better describes my effort to showcase the suite vendors that own both performance (often including succession and career development) and learning applications and have devoted tremendous energy and resources to unify the two applications (with various degrees of success). Ideally, this means that a manager can identify an employee knowledge gap and, right from the performance app, select the best learning opportunity that will address the gap, and the activity or course appears on the employee's individual learning plan. These applications look and feel like one application.
So what does this mean for recruiting? Because recruiting is so important today, I feel that it deserves its own document. I'm planning market landscape research that will include suite players with a recruiting application, standalone recruiting vendors, and more niche vendors like passive recruiting vendors, recruiting marketing vendors, culture-fit vendors, asynchronous audio and video interviewing vendors, etc. This upcoming market landscape research, my newly titled Wave, and my colleague Paul Hamerman's Q1 2012 Wave on human resource management systems form an excellent body of research for users who want to understand the technology implications and offerings, and the transactional and strategic approaches to HRM.

Don't give up on J.R. Towles.
J.R. Towles will now have a chance to return to the minor leagues, take a deep breath and regain some confidence. He may yet have a nice big league career, and this demotion may ultimately be seen as nothing more than a bump in the road. He was hitting .145 Thursday night when he got […]

Astros open the draft with a brilliant move.
I don't actually know if this is true or not since I haven't seen any of the top players. So far, the comments fall into one of two categories: the Astros are geniuses, or the Astros are morons. There's not much middle ground. As for me, I can't say. I'd just be guessing. All of […]

Our little World Series bandwagon has been derailed.
You know how it is when you're at the gate and they announce your flight has been delayed. They always say something about maintenance assessing the problem, and they'll get back to you in no time at all. That's your signal to go get a couple of those outstanding airport hot dogs. If you happen […]

Decision time on J.R. Towles. Solid start for Wandy.
At this point, the question isn't what J.R. Towles is doing to the Astros as much as what he's doing to himself. It makes no sense to continue to play him. He now needs to go to Round Rock and regain his co.nfidence in a more relaxed environment. To continue to play him now might […]

Advice for Cecil Cooper.
There are days when his head seems about to explode. He's tense, edgy, irritable, defensive. He's a decent, honorable man, but the job seems to have changed him in unflattering ways. That's not unusual because it changes everyone. Cecil Cooper has pressures and responsibilities he never had before. Once upon a time, his job was […]

Chacon throws a tantrum, gets pulled from game.
I love making something out of nothing. In this case, it is nothing. Things happen in the heat of battle. We want our jocks to care, right? Sometimes they're going to care too much. "I discount something like that when it happens in a competitive moment," an NFL coach once told me. Cecil Cooper wouldn't […]

Astros don't have enough pitching, and I'm not feeling so good myself.
Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's that you're not feeling well because you got both bacon and jalapenos on your Whataburger. Maybe it's that the wife found out how to use "web history." Whatever the reason, people sure are out of sorts today. Some of you went right from disappointed with the Astros to just […]

Astros in downward spiral, so let's fire someone.
Who are we blaming today? Drayton? Tal? Coop? J.R.? Pitching coach? Hitting coach? You know you want to blame someone. Don't make me do it for you. The Astros have lost four in a row, and in the blogosphere, that's the equivalent of FDR's four terms. Someone must pay. I'm not feeling the anger, people. […]

Nice job by Roy O.
Upon further review, I like what I saw Thursday night even more. First things first. Roy Oswalt pitched with great tempo. He threw 18 first-pitch strikes, changed speeds and had better command of his fastball than any other recent start. That's the way baseball was meant to be played. I also loved that Cecil Cooper […]

Great Place to Stay
January 31, 2015
Friendly staff, clean, quiet, large room with all that you would need in a suite.
Excellent Stay and Friendly Staff
January 27, 2015
The staff were friendly and acted quickly whenever there was an issue. The roll in shower accessible room was excellent. Overall the hotel was very clean and very pet friendly. The hotel was located close to several beaches and stores.
Reasonable but expensive
ByDublin Jack
January 26, 2015
I would recommend this property as reasonable but expensive for what it is and for this reason used my points to cover my 4 night stay.
However most hotels in Naples appear to be on the expensive side at this time of year.
We appreciated the upgrade but In my opinion the rooms/bedding were not as good as other Staybridge suites I have stayed at and the room we had was a little dark. Location on the busy Tamiami Trail is ok with good shopping and restaurants close by.. The staff were good.
We came directly from a great Holiday Inn resort on Marco Island and perhaps this has influenced the above rating as it is lower than I would normally expect to give any Staybridge Suites property.
Great Place to Stay
January 25, 2015
This hotel is conveniently located next to everything Naples has to offer. The staff is incredible and the rooms are great. Free laundry was very convenient for those on the road for an extended period of time. They have beach chairs and umbrellas at the front desk that were also complimentary and really enhanced our day at the beach. Great Place to Stay all around!!!

I am looking for recommendations on my first every day carry gun. I currently own a Sig p229 in 9mm for home defense and am looking for something a little slimmer/lighter to carry.
I am a some what bigger guy, 6'0, 260 lbs, think heavy set linebacker build, so not sure if I want to carry IWB or OWB.
I recently shot the G26, which I shot pretty well and liked with the pinky extension. What else should I consider? I have held the Springfield XDs, and the M&P Shield. I like how slim both of these are, but favor the round capacity and feel of the G26. Should I also consider a G19 or G23?

Martha Elizabeth Moxley (August 16, 1960–October 30 or 31, 1975) was a 15-year-old murder victim in a case that attracted worldwide publicity owing to a "Kennedy connection".[1]
Moxley was born in San Francisco, California, to Dorthy and David Moxley and lived in Piedmont, California. Martha and her family settled in Belle Haven, an affluent section of Greenwich, Connecticut. Her circle of friends included neighbors Thomas and Michael Skakel, nephews of Ethel Skakel Kennedy.
Contents |
On the evening of October 30, 1975, Moxley left with friends to attend a Halloween party at the Skakel home, one block away. According to friends, Moxley began flirting with and eventually kissed Thomas Skakel. Moxley was last seen "falling together behind the fence" with Thomas Skakel near the pool in the Skakel backyard at around 9:30 p.m.
The next day, Moxley's body was found underneath a tree in her family's backyard. Her trousers and underwear were pulled down, but she had not been sexually assaulted. Pieces of a broken six-iron golf club were found near the body. An autopsy indicated she had been both bludgeoned and stabbed with the club, which was traced back to the Skakel home.
Thomas Skakel was the last person known to have been seen with Moxley the night of the murder and had a weak alibi. Thomas Skakel became the prime suspect, but his father forbade access to his school and mental health records. Kenneth Littleton, who had started working as a live-in tutor for the Skakel family only hours before the murder, also became a prime suspect. No one was charged, however, and the case languished for decades. In the meantime, several books were published about the crime, including Timothy Dumas' A Wealth of Evil and the novel A Season in Purgatory by Dominick Dunne, a fictional account of the case.
Over the years, both Thomas and Michael Skakel significantly changed their alibis for the night of Moxley's murder. Michael Skakel claimed that he had been window-peeping and masturbating in a tree beside the Moxley property from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Two former students of a drug rehab center that Michael Skakel attended in 1978 testified that they heard Skakel confess to killing Moxley with a golf club. According to then Elan resident Gregory Coleman, Skakel then bragged, "I'm going to get away with murder. I'm a Kennedy."[2]
When William Kennedy Smith was tried for rape in 1991, a rumor surfaced that he had been present at the Skakel house on the night of the Moxley murder, with the clear insinuation that he might have been involved. Although this rumor proved to be unfounded, it resulted in renewed investigation of the then cold case.[3] In 1993 author Dominick Dunne, father of murdered actress Dominique Dunne, published A Season in Purgatory, a fictional story closely resembling the Moxley case. Mark Fuhrman's 1998 book Murder in Greenwich named Michael Skakel as the murderer and pointed out numerous mistakes the police had made in investigating the crime. During the years before the Dunne and Fuhrman books, work had been done by Greenwich Police detectives Steve Carroll and Frank Garr and police reporter Leonard Levitt that named Michael Skakel as the killer.
In June 1998, a rarely invoked one-man grand jury was convened, and after 18 months (in June 2000) Michael Skakel was indicted for the murder of Martha Moxley. In a highly publicized trial, Skakel was convicted for the murder of Martha Moxley on June 7, 2002, and received a sentence of 20 years to life in prison. Skakel's alibi was that at the time of the murder he was at his cousin's house. During the trial the jury heard part of a taped book proposal, which included Skakel speaking about masturbating in a tree on the night of the murder—the same tree under which Martha Moxley's body was found the next morning. Skakel never admitted to killing Moxley. Prosecutors took words from this proposal and overlaid them on graphic images of Moxley's dead body in a computerized, multi-media presentation shown to jurors during closing arguments. In the audiotape, Skakel said that when he was awoken the next morning, he was afraid he might have been seen the previous night "jerking off", and he felt panicked. The prosecutor deleted the portion of the audiotape where Skakel said "jerking off", giving the impression that he was confessing to the murder. When journalist Leslie Stahl confronted the prosecutor about his presentation, the prosecutor said it had been completely appropriate.[4]
The prosecutors' use of the multimedia presentation during closing arguments was included in Skakel's initial appeal and the judge ruled, "The state engaged in appropriate and effective advocacy by using trial exhibits to highlight certain evidence and inferences.... Just as the state should not be deprived of its most valuable evidence unless there is a compelling reason to do so, the state should not be prohibited from making its best arguments. The state's use of audio and photographic exhibits during argument was a matter of effective advocacy. The state did not, as defendant claims, distort the evidence in any respect. By placing certain exhibits next to defendant's words, or by displaying two related exhibits simultaneously, the state was making explicit the inferences it was asking the jury to draw. This is the job of an advocate...."
In January 2003, attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Skakel's cousin, wrote a controversial article in The Atlantic Monthly entitled "A Miscarriage of Justice," insisting that Skakel's indictment "was triggered by an inflamed media, and that an innocent man is now in prison". Kennedy's article[5] presents the argument that there is more evidence suggesting that Kenneth Littleton, the Skakel family's live-in tutor, killed Moxley. He also calls Dominick Dunne the "driving force" behind Skakel's prosecution.[5]
Skakel continued to fight his conviction. In November 2003, Skakel appealed to the Connecticut Supreme Court, arguing that the trial court erred because the case should have been heard in Juvenile Court rather than Superior Court, that the statute of limitations had expired on the charges against him, and that there was prosecutorial misconduct. On January 12, 2006, however, the Connecticut Supreme Court rejected Skakel's claims and affirmed his conviction. Subsequently, Skakel retained attorney and former United States Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who on July 12, 2006, filed a petition for a writ of certiorari on behalf of Skakel before the Supreme Court of the United States. On November 13, 2006, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case.[6]
Since then, Skakel has begun his first round of postconviction proceedings, beginning with a petition for writ of habeas corpus and motion for new trial in the Connecticut trial court which originally heard his case. Skakel's cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has brought forth Gitano "Tony" Bryant, cousin of Los Angeles Lakers player Kobe Bryant and a former classmate of Skakel at the private Brunswick School in Greenwich, Connecticut. In a videotaped interview with Skakel private investigator Vito Colucci in August 2003, Bryant said one of his companions the night of Moxley's murder wanted to "go caveman" on her, meaning violently have his way with her. Bryant says he never came forward before because his mother warned him, and he believed her, that as a black man he would be tagged for the unsolved murder. A two-week hearing in April 2007 allowed the presentation of this hearsay evidence, among other matters.[7] In September 2007, Skakel's attorneys filed a petition, based in part on Bryant's claims, asking for a new trial; prosecutors formally responded that Bryant may have made up the story to sell a play about the case.[8]
The new Skakel defense team also hired a full-time investigative team to review existing and new information—particularly a book written about Élan School—in preparation for the hearing. They argued that no Élan School residents with Skakel, other than Gregory Coleman, ever spoke about Skakel's confession to anyone, including the author of the book.
On October 25, 2007, a Superior Court judge denied the request for a new trial, saying Bryant's testimony was not credible and there was no evidence of prosecutorial misconduct in the original trial. Skakel's lawyer indicated she would appeal this decision.[9]

Extending Iran nuclear talks worthwhile: USA Today |
TEHRAN – An editorial published on the website of USA Today on Sunday approves of the decision made by Iran and the major powers to extend their talks on a comprehensive deal to resolve the dispute over Tehran's nuclear program, saying the potential rewards of clinching a final deal remain exceptionally high.
Following are excerpts of the article:
In a world rife with intractable conflicts, it's something of an oddity that negotiations to end a uniquely menacing threat have percolated quietly, making progress that just a few months ago seemed far beyond reach.
Now those talks will continue for four more months.
Facing an unattainable Sunday deadline to achieve an agreement to roll back Iran's nuclear … program, all parties have agreed to an extension until Nov. 24. In the interim, Iran will continue to allow intrusive inspections and receive minor relief from economic sanctions that are (affecting) the Iranian economy.
The extension, signaled by both sides in recent days, was expected. But the muted reaction of skeptics, who see total capitulation by Iran as the only option, was telling.
Their alarmist predictions that easing sanctions would be disastrous have proved false, as have their dire warnings that Iran would cheat while negotiations continued. By all accounts, Iran is complying.
In fact, it has gone further, agreeing to alter the design of a key plutonium reactor and proposing to convert much of its (higher-grade) uranium to a less dangerous form.
None of this means an agreement will be reached.
The technical obstacles to a credible agreement are daunting. (Critics) in Iran, Israel and the U.S. Congress still appear intent on scuttling any deal. Members of Congress from both parties have gone as far to say they will vote to tighten sanctions — not loosen them — unless Iran also gives up its missile program and abandons (its alleged support for) terrorism, neither of which is even a subject of the current negotiations.
Republican Rep. Ed Royce of California, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, criticized the extension of the talks and called for ratcheting up the economic pressure on Iran. But moving ahead with new sanctions at this delicate point in the negotiations would undoubtedly derail them.
On the Iranian side President Hassan Rouhani, whose election led to the surprise Iranian opening, faces powerful domestic opponents.
But amid all the maneuvering, one thing should be clear — at least to reasonable observers: Any agreement (on the settlement of the dispute) would be an astounding achievement, one that could lead to a reassessment of the caustic U.S.-Iran relationship.
Success remains against the odds, but so too do the potential rewards remain exceptionally high.

to anh virgo,
Not only the current leaders who are to blame, but if current situation is the result of past leaders, they are also to blame. To you, HCM is respectable who devoted all his life to our independence. But to other, HCM is another Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim Il Sung and Pol Pot. There were other respectable Vietnamese that devoted all his/her life to our independence, but not willing to kill our own people to meet that goal. VN does not have private printing company, private newspaper, private radio, or freedom of information. So your history is mostly propaganda, and any negative facts about HCM or the party will be omitted.
Is Pol Pot a respectable person because he also devoted his life to independence or he is a criminal? UN tried to try him and his associates for crime against humanity. HCM land reform killed thousands of innocent landowners and wealthy businessmen in the North. Under HCM rule after 1946, thousands of opposition was killed. HCM tried to create a classless society in the North. HCM did the same as Pol Pot, but just not as extreme as him, but it is still a crime. Communist party under HCM signed the treaty to divide up the country. Prime Minister Phan Van Dong signed a letter accepting territories under Vietnamese controlled to belong to China with HCM as the President in 1958 (http://www.thuvienphapluat.com/?CT=NW&NID=5586). This alone is considered treason, which can execute, so can that be respectable? After 1975, the communist party followed HCM example by confiscated properties of the wealthy and sent them to the jungle called "new economic zone", similar to Pol Pot. The communist party nationalized and collectivized business and land, that caused food shortage and people have to eat "bo bo" (barley). How can a country ranked 2nd in export of rice have to eat bo bo? Who brought this policy to VN? So who is to blame?
Look at Russia after the people gained freedom of information, what happened to Stalin and Lenin? Please rethink and stop your favourable prejudice on HCM, Anh Vigro.
to montrealbren,
"I was the 3rd American allowed to study your language in Saigon since the war ended. Yes, they watched me closely…" How can you really say that you heard the people? Do you think the people will freely talk openly to you if you were being watched closely?
You did not see the situation before 1975 in VN the South. Here is what the South is like before 1975: http://www.bbc.co.uk/vietnamese/programmes/story/2005/03/agenda_wk14_2005.shtml.(Sorry, it's in Vietnamese) Most of the younger generation grew up from starvation cause by communist ideology after 1975 to improvement from capitalism, so they don't know the reality before that. As a foreigner, you are willing to let VN move slowly toward the future, but as a Vietnamese, that means VN will always behind others countries. If you know anything about geopolitics in Asia, a weak country will be picked on.
As a person of the generation born after the war, I think that Mr Phan Kane talk too much about the old Vietnam despite the fact that Vietnam has been developing and will not stop. Vietnam is no longer a Communist nation. It is trying to pursue and to transform into the Capitalism by joining the WTO and accepting the world's rules..... You pointed out lots of mistakes the old government did, you tried to convince people by showing the worst things happened in Vietnam decades ago. But you have to finish!Why don't you just point out what is good for Vietnam, what knowledge Vietnamese should learn to improve the economy, politics, health care , education and so on. You prefer "Democracy", why don't you show us the appropriate way to archive that. Please convince me by more detail, by your analysis of Vietnam (new trends, numbers, events, challenges and finally the solutions to those challenges), more importantly the criteria of "Democracy". If you can do all those things, I think you should come back to Vietnam and do something instead of talking nonsense here!Anyway, thank you! Hope to see you in Vietnam one day.
Phan Kane, I sympathize with your point of view, but you do seem to be fairly biased.
If you think this "little" scandal is bad, just wait. The problem with the Vietnam leadership is their highly visible double standards. I have been working and living in Hanoi for an NGO. I left Vietnam for good in March of this year. I heard that there is a major investigation going on on the massive, highly inflated Airbus order and the role of PM Dung. Who knows, maybe we all have a real spectacular corruption case soon here in The Economist. (Dear Editors, if I were you, you should start digging into the multi billion dollar Airbus deal, there is a lot to be uncovered.) I know for a fact that you have resources in Hanoi that are quite good in investigative research. Good luck.
Dear Phan KaneAfter reading all of your comments, I have to say that I disagree with you to a large extent simply because you are having such a narrow minded opinion of the government in Vietnam and you are not willing to take in other people opinions as well.It is true that the communist government in Vietnam still make mistakes, such as corruptions or other economic or social policies. however, you have got to admit that the country itself, under that same ruling party, had made incredible progress over the past 20 years.(if you recall the special report that the Economist made in one of the recent edition). People are now having a much better standard of living, even though the rich-poor income gap is widening so there are some cases where parents have to sell away their kids. But at the same time, the society as a whole has benefited. I remember just 10 years ago, most teenagers in US does not even know about Vietnam, but now the perception of the country is much better. Are you saying that the communist government did not make an impact on that as well?Please be more open minded. You are judging things in a polarized way and maybe stereotyping the government as well. After all, De gustibus non est disputandum, which means, about taste, there is no dispute. I shall not dwell into what you think too much, just hoping that you can look at things from others viewpoints and not just your own.
But I, along with millions of Vietnamese in Vietnam, do not remember the wars.
– /> So, the criminal got away because it happened then!!
I fell in love with the country I lived in
– /> With the mighty dollar, tourists love the afford ability of third world countries. Come on man! mothers sell their babies for money, young girls marry to old ,sicko to get away from Vietnam. Pedofile are coming to Vietnam in drove! You are in the very minority the others who "love" Vietnam are communist party members.
According to every Western, independent estimate, the new wealth of the last 10 years has been distributed more equally than any other developing nation.
– /> Western! The people who think Ho is a patriotic, a nationalist!
Have you visited Vietnam recently?
– /> I know the country inside out!
You are aware, certainly, that you do not need a visa and you may even buy property if you wish.
~!!!! You are nut!
So long man!
To anh virgo :
Your party "mistakes" are:
1. Broke cease fire agreement to let people enjoy their new year celebration in 1968 Tet!
2. Broke Paris peace agreement, that communist north do not invade the south.
3. Let uneducated people control the educated people - farmer, worker rule! The current "intellectuals" leaders are the son and daughter of the lowly educated "leaders" they returned from studying in eastern Europe, they learn the failed system anyway. And ALL of them are communists, their parents are communist party members.
There are hundreds of communist's "mistake".
Please stop bore me with the same old lie; there are more than 800 publications in the communist Vietnam that I can read.
I only want you to answer me one question: Should your party, the Vietnamese communist, let the people have free election to choose competent people to lead the country as they have been boasting for more than 70 years?
Dear montrealbren,
They make mistakes!! Shooting at refugees when they run, bury people alive, evict people from their home, send them to jungle then confiscate their home and countless act of crimes against humanity; and you said "mistake" you must be the son of the devil!
Why don't they do what they said! Free election, let the people choose competent men, women to lead.
They know that they are no communists, yet they are still recite the same old phrases! And act as they are communists! What kind of men is that!
Fake communists! Be brave! Stand up for fair election! Vietnamese are at the bottom of the world, be mercy to them! When they have freedom, they will be well off, overseas Vietnamese don't need to send their hard earned money to Vietnam anymore; it is a win-win outcome.
Please fake communists~! please GET LOST! look at eatern European countries! how well they have improved since they over throwing communism!
Please be mercy to little Vietnamese kids, please love them as your own... please get LOST! you have no shame!
Dear Phan Kane,I must agree with Anh Virgo's response. And I agree with your assessment that the communists made many mistakes, some of which they admit, some of which they do not. But I, along with millions of Vietnamese in Vietnam, do not remember the wars. All I know is the country I lived in from 1992 to 1996, where I was allowed to travel freely, talk to anyone, heard many complaints, heard many voices of hope for the future - and never had a problem with the authorities. I was the 3rd American allowed to study your language in Saigon since the war ended. Yes, they watched me closely, but Sir, I fell in love with the country I lived in. I saw much, much misery - I've seen provincial mental hospitals that reminded me of the middle ages. But I also saw determination to succeed. According to every Western, independent estimate, the new wealth of the last 10 years has been distributed more equally than any other developing nation. If you wonder why leaders have mansions, you might ask yourself the same of the representatives of the US government... They've got great houses, and health care plans that I could never afford. I have no health care, and I'm from one of the richest countries in the world. I can't afford it, and I'm middle class, not poor. Mr Kane, I truly hope that one day your anger can be replaced by hope. Have you visited Vietnam recently? You are aware, certainly, that you do not need a visa and you may even buy property if you wish. And I'm certain you know that the Vietnamese must be very careful with their northern neighbor. Have you met the many young people in SG or Hanoi or Danang or Dalat who have blogs on the internet and are joining the 21st century with enthusiasm and hopefulness? And I must conclude that you are in denial about how clever and resourceful your people are at dealing with the current government. You see a country of 85 million victims. That is a horrible insult to the fabulous generation of Vietnamese born after 1975 - a very large portion of the population. The Vietnamese are far more intelligent than you seem to imply.If you cannot give any credit to the regime for lightening their grip on economic and social life, I suggest you go take a look at Vietnam today. It is not perfect, but it does not resemble the horror show you describe. I am not a blind person, I can read and speak Vietnamese. I was not brainwashed by communists while I lived there. In fact, I no longer even believe that "communist" correctly describes the authorities in Hanoi. Instead, I see them as an authoritarian bunch who have actually delivered on some of their promises. Look at Vietnam's neighbors. Their governments are not much prettier, even those that have elections of the type you wish to see. As far as Singapore's intellectuals fleeing the country, do you not imagine that many have now returned? Have you noticed that many Viet Kieu are now going back to Vietnam to live permanently? None of these people are communists, nor are they likely to become communists. If Thay Thich Nhat Hanh and Nguyen Cao Ky can return and get a positive perspective on today's Vietnam, have you no faith in what they say? If not, I pray that one day you will go see your country: the communists you speak of are simply no longer in control. In fact, the Vietnamese people are. They're that smart, sir, and they know how to get around ANYTHING the government puts in their way. Today's Vietnamese are not victims. I sincerely hope you will come to see that in the younger generation. They are the nation's greatest resource, and they will not be stopped in their pursuit of a beautiful life and nation.
Phan Kane, one thing that really confuses me is why your words are so spiteful. I don't know what your background is, but I guess you must be a Vietnamese person who used to underwent the transitional period when the North took over the South. you were and you are dissatified with the regime,which justifies your attitude now. when posting my comment,I do not mean to prompt any heated online quarrel. Each of us hold different political viewpoint. you have yours and I have mine. I admire your critical thinking that drives you to look at things in different aspects and helps widen my vision to a degree. It seems to me, however, that you have no constructive remarks on our party mistakes, and no courage for some clear-cut achievements. Our party's defects are undeniable, but we are trying to correct them. Our country behaves submissively to our big neighboring country is sensible because any war breaking out this time may kill. the communism itself is not wrong, it is the people who implement it are. do not blame HO, Phan Kane! be more sympathetic for him!
To anh virgo:
Ho: "We can be wrong but Mr. Stalin, Mr. Mao can be no wrong".
Copying the Chinese model: Vietnam land reform campaign killed over one hundred thousand land owners; most of them owns a few aces each.
Copying the Soviet and Chinese: Vietnam cultural revolution eliminated almost all intellectuals in the north.
Copying Chinese: Bring economy to the stone age.
Bring communism to Vietnam that cause misery for Vietnamese for more than 70 years and counting.
Buy Chinese weapons, borrow Chinese supply to go south and kill millions of their own kind; the fact is the best Vietnamese were killed during the war. It is a very smart move by Chinese to destroy Vietnamese race. Now, their 'brothers' let Chinese to come to Vietnam freely, while Vietnamese have to get visa to go to China. Communist Vietnamese do not even let their 'extended' family (overseas Vietnamese) to visit their fatherland without visa!
What Ho did is not much better than Polpot: Destroying your own people by the order of the Chinese.
Let Vietnamese choose their own leaders, stop phony election!! PLEASE! Have no shame???
I understand Phan Kane's anger: it is typical of some overseas Vietnamese, especially those that remember the wars and life in Vietnam after the country was reunified. One day, even the leaders of Vietnam will no longer personally remember the war. The current president of the SRV is a powerful man - and his reputation is one of total personal integrity. He has not had to be corrupt to rise to the top. And he helped turn HCMC into a competitive economic regional metropolis. The top levels of government in Hanoi are now quite well educated, or they are willing to listen to those who are. They are progressing in a positive direction. But anyone who knows Vietnam knows that the king's law stops at the village gate. Local administration in Vietnam, in too many instances, needs drastic improvement, these are often the corrupt and uneducated officials that the Vietnamese in Vietnam complain about. The local level is where the problems are - Hanoi is politically more enlightened. To continually compare Vietnam to China is ridiculous. It's like saying that Canada has no independence from the USA. There may be a grain of truth in the above statements, but not much more than that. Vietnam is fundamentally different from China, but is aware that China will always have influence on some Vietnamese affairs. Just ask a Canadian what their laws might look like if the USA were not their neighbor. I see the Vietnamese trying to move closer to the Singaporean model, not the Chinese model. Perhaps Phan Kane's anger is justified on a personal level, but the indications I see now point toward Singapore's interpretation of "democracy". Vietnam's economic growth has been much more equitable than China's - the wealth is indeed reaching the countryside, and in a way that the UN considers "an example for the rest of the developing world". And Anh Virgo is right about Ho Chi Minh: everyone knows he would have won the elections of 1956 if the US and Diem had let REAL DEMOCRACY take its route. His efforts got rid of the French. Not Diem's, not the USA's. So the US is really not in a position to comment on Vietnam's government: the US was the first government to deny independent Vietnam a true democratic vote after the Geneva Accords. But history is history. It is time to look very closely at what they are doing now in Vietnam, not the political symbols that frame one of Asia's most successful economies.
Thank you very much for Phan Kane's interest in our recent developments. I highly appreciate your comments, and agreed on some obvious stains of our working communist party. I think in a different way though. The communism itself is an ideal institution that human beings are trying to achieve.But now it's not the time for it in the context of overwhelming capitalism. what's more, our party leaders are too irresponsible and ineligible to take over their forerunners' career. that's why the operation of communism in our country goes wrong. the point I'd like to make is that : it is the current leaders who are to blame. and remember it turns out to be an extreme offense if Phan Kane continues his/her contempt on our respectable HO CHI MINH, who devoted all his life to our independence. Phan Kane has his/her in talking against communism and giving advice on western-styled regime. I again welcome his/her point. And again please rethink and stop your unfavourable prejudice on HO CHI MINH, Phan Kane!
EU parliament condemned communism; president Putin accused his former party (communist) killed the best and brightest Russians during that time.
The problem with Vietnam is, the leaders (communists) are lowly educated people, they rule by the gun. Since the collapse of the Soviet, the lowly educated men grab the leg of communist Chinese.
It is pathetic to praise them for being "opened mind". Like every lowly educated and ruthless tyrants in this world, they want to hold on to power and money; they have no regard for anything else: Freedom, welfare of the people. There is no need to spend time to learn or write about them. Just pay attention to Chinese communist, Vietnamese communists just carry out Chinese's instructions. If Chinese somehow change their way, Vietnamese communists will surely follow. Your optimism on their openness will be short live; they have been controlling Vietnam for almost 70 years.
My stomach was churned when I see tourists flock to see Ho's tomb! the criminal who brought communism to Vietnam.
Do you know that Vietnam is world second biggest rice exporter, yet the people who produce rice have to sell their very young daughters to Cambodia to work as prostitutes; because the money from selling rice is used by the "opened mind" communists to build villas, sending their sons and daughters to the US to study.
Please support the oppressed people, ask for basic human's freedom. Vietnam should follow eastern European model, not Chinese model.
Stop praising Vietnam communists for temporarily loosening their grip. Look at what happen to Burma!!!!
Having written a 150 page thesis on the status of journalist/translators in Vietnam, a paper that includes the developments mentioned in your story, it nevertheless is astounding that the articles you mentioned are still online. Having worked in a Ho Chi Minh City newsroom in the early and mid 1990s, and observed developments since, what has been happening in Vietnamese media is very progressive. 10 years ago, the press advocating its interests in the face of top-level prosecution was absolutely unthinkable. While you snidely refer to a "semblance of diversity" in the Vietnamese media, what you forget is that for the local Vietnamese, it is REAL diversity to which they had not been exposed before.Certainly, the government is acting against itself - perhaps due to hardline factionalism withing the communist leadership - but the story has not been removed from the Thanh Nien English online front page since the day it appeared. That is even stranger than the government's response. And as for the retribution meted out by Hanoi, it has been reported that the journalist in question will be held for about 4 weeks. As un-Western as that might sound, it sure beats the sentence he would have received in, let's say, 2001.Vietnam, as the Economist has pointed out time and time again, is slow to change. Like the USA. Like France. But unlike the latter two, Vietnam is transforming itself into a much better place to live - for the Vietnamese.France likes slow food. Vietnam likes slow reform. Human rights advocates will always find something to complain about in Vietnam. Luckily, they're rich enough to have time to poke their noses into what they believe others should do. Most Vietnamese are busy making money - and grudgingly or earnestly, accept that this government is the best the nation has ever seen. The so called "democratic" experiment of South Vietnam from 1954-1975 was in reality, a Burma controlled by the US. Was that a better solution? Certainly, the press were not at all free then. Publication has been under state supervision in Vietnam since the nation emerged into written history in 238BCE. It cannot be expected to change overnight. And it is also worth mentioning that several "democracies" in Vietnam's part of the world are equally cagey with their domestic press. Where's the outrage against Singapore? Malaysia? Indonesia? Do I need to go on? While shooting the messenger is never a good idea, it is part of the way the Vietnamese have always governed themselves. And it's also worth remembering that they no longer really shoot them, as they used to. They get a 4 week slap on the wrist. And that's likely to change too. But not due to outside pressure.
Never shoot the messenger. It looks fishy to the rest of the world... and it's a deterrent for other journalists, thus if they really wanted to stop the corruption this was a huge mistake. Not good at all...

Denver's own Church of Cupcakes invites all supplicants to visit its downtown location, where owner Porche is a true believer in organic, eco-friendly and locally sourced ingredients and packaging. The shop, with its 1950s decor and liberal use of glitter, has a retro feel but a completely irreverent attitude, resulting in such treats as the "Missionary" vanilla cupcake. Others include the "Venerable Velvet," the "Sprinkle Salvation" and the "Bee-titude" version, the latter of which sports a honey-buttercream icing good enough to make any choir sing its praises. Gluten-free "St. Celiac" cupcakes are also among the offerings at this Church.

Funding Sources
Federal Funding Below is a list of some federally funded programs that support K-12 educator-scientist partnerships, as well as a few programs funded by nonprofit organizations. There are certainly others. In addition, many corporations fund partnerships, especially local ones. Check the corporations' Web sites or their associated foundation sites. Your professional society may also be a source of limited support. Be sure to check the members-only pages; some funding opportunities are not posted on publicly accessible Web pages. Finally, states typically offer funding, so check your state's department of education Web site. Unlike most science research grants, applicants for education and science education research grants must often be an institution, not an individual. This means that you'll have to get the cooperation of your partner school, school district, or home institution before you consider preparing a proposal. Also, be sure that the appropriate organization is in a position to accept such an award. A few commercial websites compile lists of nonprofit agencies and corporation-affiliated foundations that award grants for education. Be sure to consult these. They are an excellent way to find niche funding and award programs that are specific to limited geographical areas. If you're a nonprofit organization that awards funding for K-12 science education programs and would like to be considered for inclusion on this list, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Shrewsbury will look to extend Cameron Gayle's one-month loan spell from Premier League outfit West Brom.
The 20-year-old defender joined the Shrews at the end of last month on a deal until January 3, 2013.
Gayle's stay at Greenhous Meadow has been disrupted by a groin injury but he has demonstrated his versatility on both the right and left side of defence in the two games he has played for Graham Turner's side.
Turner told the Shropshire Star: "Cameron has done well and we will extend that if we can.
"I get the impression he is enjoying himself and I get the impression West Brom are pleased he's playing.
"We've got a good relationship with them, so I would like to think all parties will come together to extend the loan."

Students, college administrators and politicians gathered in Triton College's newly-renovated outdoor commons area Thursday to commemorate the school's 50th anniversary.
Mark Stephens, chairman of Triton College's Board of Trustees, was thankful for the good weather as they dedicated a new sundial and cut a decadent cake.
"It's a great day," he said. "It's a great day to kick off the anniversary."
The Aug. 28 event was one of many the college has planned to celebrate Triton's many years of educating students. Stephens touted a pending $50 million bond issue, which trustees are expected to vote on soon, that would pay for renovations across the campus.
"It will help our students get an education for the next 50 years," he said.
Stephens said that although he had studied at other places to obtain his degrees, he also attended Triton in the early 1980s. He said that's where he found one teacher he would never forget.
"The best professor I ever met was Russ Anderson — he was my physical geography professor at Triton College," Stephens said. "He made sure when I was done with his class I knew about physical geography. He was the best teacher I ever met at the collegiate level."
The class was a required course and he wasn't necessarily interested in geography, but he saw back then, as a student how the staff took their job seriously.
"People at Triton took the time to guide me," he said.
Triton President Patricia Granados will be retiring from her position at the end of the year, but believes her leadership has helped spark good things for the college in years to come.
"It's a great day and I see a great future for Triton," she said. "I'm part of this history, but there's a little bit of my leadership that will lead them into the future."
Joe Portillo, 31, of Elmwood Park, stood back admiring the crowds who met in the college's student center for the college's cake-cutting ceremony, which followed the sundial dedication.
He said he's impressed with Triton, and as an Army veteran, he's impressed with the college's various degrees — especially in criminal justice. He wants to become a police officer, and thinks Triton can help him get there.
"It's close to my house and it's one of the top community colleges in the area, he said.
Denise Smith-Gaborit, head pastry chef at Triton College, worked with other chefs and culinary students to make the five-tier cake as well as hundreds of cupcakes.
"It was a group effort; everyone worked together," she said.
She attended Triton in the 1980s and said there wasn't much to look at when it came to culinary classes, but things have changed since then.
"The culinary school was very small, but now the program is six days a week," she said.
Triton College Police Chief Jeff Sargent, who also attended the college, has been a part of the college for a long time and has watched it grow and transform over the years.
"I've been [working] here for 30 years," he said. "It's incredible. What a nice way to celebrate 50 years."

Some novels are so enthralling you can become completely engrossed in the world the author has created, and for graphic designer and photographer Dinah Fried, this holds true right down to what the characters ate for dinner. In her series "Fictious Dishes," Fried recreates iconic meals eaten by main characters from The Catcher in the Rye, Oliver Twist, The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Moby Dick. How many of them do you recognize?

TORONTO - Bandit is a miniature Eskimo-Pomeranian cross who snuggles under blankets in a tent, lies close to the campfire and begs for toasted marshmallows at every chance he gets.
For his owner, Kelly Bennett, camping with a dog is fun, and perhaps more importantly, practical — there's no need to worry about leaving Bandit at home.
"He loves going camping, he loves being outside and snuggling with us at night," Bennett said. "He's a great little furnace for us, too."
All of Ontario's provincial parks are pet-friendly, with a few guidelines for owners to follow, although some may be more attractive to those bringing their furry friends along than others.
Twelve provincial parks have both a pet exercise area and a pet-friendly beach, while seventeen have one or the other.
A few favourites include Bon Echo Provincial Park in southeastern Ontario, Sharbot Lake east of Toronto, Rock Point on the north shore of Lake Erie, and Wasaga Beach on the shores of Georgian Bay.
"For lots of people a pet is part of the family," said Anne Craig, a spokeswoman for Ontario Parks.
There are certain rules those with pets need to adhere to when bringing their four-legged friends on a camping trip, Craig noted.
Pets should not be left unattended on a site and should not make excessive noise. Dogs should remain on a two-metre leash whenever they aren't using an off-leash exercise area or beach, she said.
Public health regulations also don't allow pets inside roofed accommodations, showers or comfort stations, she said.
They can, however, roam freely at designated off-leash areas which are clearly marked at all parks, she said.
There are also limitations on pet access to certain trails, said Craig.
"Environmental conservation is one of our top priorities," she said, noting that pets may not be permitted in certain areas with vulnerable vegetation, which would be clearly marked.
Owners must also clean up after their pets, Craig added, noting that its a provincial offence not to.
Park wardens are authorized to mete out penalties for non-compliance if posted signs are disobeyed.
Jeanette Arminio, who camps annually with her three poodles at Bon Echo, said those hoping to bring their pets along on a camping trip just need to ensure the animals are well trained.
"You can't have a wild and crazy dog at home and expect it not to be wild and crazy when you go camping," she said.
Arminio suggested raising a dog to be comfortable with camping from a young age.
"From the time we got our dogs as puppies at eight weeks we've travelled with them," she said.
If a dog hasn't been exposed to wildlife before, she said, the sight of a chipmunk could set its predatory instinct into high gear.
Chasing wildlife, making too much noise, leaving a mess behind — these could all get your dog kicked out of the park, she said, but as long as the pups are "good canine citizens," they make excellent travel companions.
Even so, there are pet-free campgrounds in designated sections of some parks for those who don't want to deal with fellow campers' furry companions, Craig said.
Achray, Canisbay, Mew Lake and Pog Lake campgrounds in Algonquin Park are a few options for those who want a pet-free camping experience.

nice thread. Interesting to me is it wasn't until some specialized training by James Jarrett (USMA) that I received fairly detailed SA training. This is after various MMA and a 1st Dan in WTSD and 8 yrs of banging with all styles welcome dojo. (An early claim to fame is I knocked out Danny Partridge. Sheesh! I hope to put that behind me). I bring up SA as in hindsight this was probably the key element of any system I have ever been exposed to (or trained in) even if not given much exposure. What I am trying to say is that others here, and on other forums have detailed how important your mind is as a component of your weapons system (ie., "martial arts").
Some of the toughest fights I ever had I admit I entered into with the wrong mindset and had my patootie handed to me pronto.
Just my $.02 .

Greco-Roman wrestling
Greco-Roman wrestling
Style of wrestling that prohibits the legs from being used to obtain a fall and in which no holds may be taken below the waist. It originated in France in the early 19th century in imitation of Classical Greek and Roman representations of the sport. It eventually came to be favoured by most other countries and was, until the acceptance of freestyle wrestling in the late 20th century, the style practiced exclusively in Olympic and international amateur competition.
