County leaders decided this week to rescind a decision it made in January, approving a retroactive contract for Inyo County Film Commissioner Chris Langley to ensure he is paid for work he did out of contract last year. The board voted 4-1, with First District Supervisor Linda Arcularius as the dissenting vote, for a $30,000 contract from July 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013.

Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District said it has won another victory in the fight for dust control on Owens Lake. Kern County Superior Court ruled earlier this week that the LADWP is responsible for paying penalties associated with its decision to withhold $1.1 million in air pollution control fees last year.

The Dec. 14 tragedy in Newtown, Conn. opened a dialogue in Inyo County and across the country. How safe are local schools? How can a young man be so critically broken and go without real help? Should the nation restrict assault weapons or arm our teachers? The gun debate will not be solved in the Owens Valley, but county educators, mental health specialists and law enforcement came together at the Inyo Office of Education to begin what County Superintendent of Schools Terry McAteer called ŌĆ£an uncomfortable conversation.ŌĆØ

Today I'm brewing NB's Nut Brown AG kit. We plan on adding spices at the end of the boil to make it Gingerbread Cookie Ale from Randy Mosher: 4g Cinnamon 1g Allspice 1g Cloves The recipe calls for 2g ground ginger. I despise buying ground spices, so I always grind from whole when I can. I am wondering how much fresh ginger I should use in place of the 2g ground ginger that the recipe calls for. AlsoWhat does everyone think about fining this? I am leaning towards fining it, as I think it should have clarity. Cloudy brown ales aren't the best in my opinion, although this is going to be Christmas presents so a rustic feel wouldn't be too bad. I have whirlfloc and gelatin available for fining, which should I use if you think clarity would be good in this beer.
If you have a local Penzeys (or other spice shop) you can get whole dried ginger root that you can grate with a microplane. Otherwise I'd say use about a one-inch cube of fresh and chop it finely. But I like ginger.
I went with a two tablespoon fresh ginger to 1 teaspoon dried ginger ratio, which is the highest ratio I read about for conversion rates. I pureed it with enough water to get the job done. The wort smelled exactly like gingerbread. Hopefully it translates through fermentation.
I tgink a small amount of molasses would be good
Everyone dies. Few truly live.
This sounds amazing! I fully intend to copy this. Let us know how it goes
Well the smell of the wort was that of fresh baked gingerbread. The CO2 exhaust from fermentation also smelled nice and sweet. I am thinking about racking to secondary in the next few days. My only issue is that there are several whirlfloc protein rafts still floating at the surface. Should I wait for them to drop out? Or is that normal for whirfloc? I've never used it before.
So after cold crashing for a few days, the rafts dropped out and I racked to a keg and plugged it in. Tonight, I had my first glass and it was a little overcarbed, but otherwise a very tasty beer. Most of the gingerbread quality is in the aroma, which I hope doesn't dissipate too quickly. Once again I am amazed at how quickly beer changes at this stage. Two days ago, I was tasting this thing and wondering why it tasted sour and not so good; today, it is a tasty beer.
Really interested in doing this or something like it as well! I have one question though. Whats in a NB kit? when I bought my kit it came with a pre-made fiesta wort just ad yeast and your done super easy and SUPER BORING! I like to steep my own grains, add malts ect. Would this kit allow me to do all this or should I look up other nut brown recipes?
I'm going to do something like this today, albeit too late to have done by Christmas. How did yours turn out? Is there anything you would change? I was going to add a touch of molasses.

NEW DELHI: India has asked Israel to speed up crucial bilateral defence projects, including the around Rs 13,000 crore development of two advanced surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems to arm Indian armed forces against hostile aircraft, drones and helicopters.
This came at the 10th joint working group on defence cooperation here, co-chaired by defence secretary Shashikant Sharma and Israeli defence ministry director-general Major-General Ehud Shani.
While the regional and global security situation, including the recent Israel-Hamas ceasefire, figured in the talks, the focus was on bilateral defence training programmes, exchanges, R&D projects and armament deals.
Israel is India's second largest defence supplier, second only to Russia, but the expansive ties are largely kept under wraps due to political sensitivities. Tel Aviv records military sales worth around $1 billion to New Delhi every year, ranging from Heron and Searcher UAVs, Harpy and Harop 'killer' drones to Barak anti-missile defence systems and Green Pine radars, Python and Derby air-to-air missiles.
Sources said India expressed "concern'' at the "two-year delay'' in completion of the long-range SAM (LR-SAM) project, sanctioned in December 2005 at a cost of Rs 2,606 crore to arm Indian warships.
There are "minor hitches'' even in the bigger Rs 10,076 crore medium-range SAM (MR-SAM) project, sanctioned in February 2009 for air defence squadrons of IAF.
Both the SAM systems, being developed by Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) in collaboration with DRDO, have the same missile with an interception range of 70-km. They are to be produced in bulk by defence PSU Bharat Dynamics (BDL) to plug the existing holes in India's air defence cover.
"While the multi-function surveillance and threat radars, weapon control systems with data links and the like of the LR-SAM have all been tested, there has been delay in the missiles being developed by IAI,'' said a source.
"But the Israelis said everything was sorted out now and they will try to make up for the delay. DRDO has already finished its work on the propulsion and other systems,'' he added. Incidentally, the LR-SAM project was to be completed by May this year.
Another major missile project, worth around $1 billion, that Israel could bag is the one to supply third-generation anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) to the 1.13-million strong Indian Army. The Army has already trial-evaluated the Israeli 'Spike' ATGM after the US offer of its 'Javelin' missiles was shelved due to Washington's reluctance to undertake "transfer of technology'' to ensure BDL can make them in large numbers, as reported by TOI earlier.
India is also in commercial negotiations for another two advanced Israeli Phalcon AWACS (airborne warning and control systems), capable of detecting hostile aircraft, cruise missiles and other incoming aerial threats far before ground-based radars, at a cost of over $800 million. The first three Phalcon AWACS were inducted by IAF in 2009-2010 under the $1.1 billion tripartite agreement between India, Israel and Russia.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Interracial marriage in the United States has been fully legal in all U.S. states since the 1967 Supreme Court decision that deemed anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional, with many states choosing to legalize interracial marriage at much earlier dates. Multiracial Americans numbered 9.0 million in 2010, or 2.9% of the total population, but 5.6% of the population under age 18.[1]
The differing ages of individuals, culminating in the generation divides, have traditionally played a large role in how mixed ethnic couples are perceived in American society. Interracial marriages have typically been highlighted through two points of view in the United States: Egalitarianism and cultural conservatism.[2] Egalitarianism's view of interracial marriage is acceptance of the phenomenon, while traditionalists view interracial marriage as taboo and as socially unacceptable.[3] Egalitarian viewpoints typically are held by younger generations, however older generations have an inherent influence on the views of the younger.[4] Gurung & Duong (1999) compiled a study relating to mixed-ethnic relationships ("MER"s) and same-ethnic relationships ("SER"s), concluding that individuals part of "MER"s generally do not view themselves differently from same-ethnic couples.[5]
In Social Trends in America and Strategic Approaches to the Negro Problem (1948), Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal ranked the social areas where restrictions were imposed on the freedom of Black Americans by Southern White Americans through racial segregation, from the least to the most important: basic public facility access, social equality, jobs, courts and police, politics and marriage. This ranking scheme illustrates the manner in which the barriers against desegregation fell: Of less importance was the segregation in basic public facilities, which was abolished with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The most tenacious form of legal segregation, the banning of interracial marriage, was not fully lifted until the last anti-miscegenation laws were struck down in 1967 by the Supreme Court ruling in the landmark Loving v. Virginia case.
Social enterprise research conducted on behalf of the Columbia Business School (2005–2007) showed that regional differences within the United States in how interracial relationships are perceived have persisted: Daters of both sexes from south of the Mason-Dixon Line were found to have much stronger same-race preferences than northern daters did.[6] The study also observed a clear gender divide in racial preference with regards to marriage: Women of all the races which were studied revealed a strong preference for men of their own race for marriage, with the caveat that East Asian women only discriminated against Black and Hispanic men, and not against White men.[6] A woman's race was found to have no effect on the men's choices.[6]
Several studies have found that a factor which significantly affects an individual's choices with regards to marriage is socio-economic status ("SES")-- the measure of a person's income, education, social class, profession, etc. For example, a study by the Centre for Behaviour and Evolution, Newcastle University confirmed that women show a tendency to marry up in socio-economic status; this reduces the probability of marriage of low SES men.[7]
Research at the universities of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Texas A&M addressing the topic of socio-economic status, among other factors, showed that none of the socio-economic status variables appeared to be positively related to outmarriage within the Asian American community, and found lower-socioeconomically stable Asians sometimes utilized outmarriage to Whites as a means to advance social status.[8]
A 2008 study by Jenifer L. Bratter and Rosalind B. King conducted on behalf of the Education Resources Information Center examined whether crossing racial boundaries increased the risk of divorce.[9] Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (Cycle VI), the likelihood of divorce for interracial couples to that of same-race couples was compared. Comparisons across marriage cohorts revealed that, overall, interracial couples have higher rates of divorce, particularly for those that married during the late 1980s.[9] The authors found that gender plays a significant role in interracial divorce dynamics: According to the adjusted models predicting divorce as of the 10th year of marriage, interracial marriages that are the most vulnerable involve White females and non-White males relative to White/White couples.[9] White wife/Black husband marriages are twice as likely to divorce by the 10th year of marriage compared to White/White couples, while White wife/Asian husband marriages are 59% more likely to end in divorce compared to White/White unions.[9] Conversely, White men/non-White women couples show either very little or no differences in divorce rates.[9] Asian wife/White husband marriages show only 4% greater likelihood of divorce by the 10th year of marriage than White/White couples.[9] In the case of Black wife/White husband marriages, divorce by the 10th year of marriage is 44% less likely than among White/White unions.[9] Intermarriages that did not cross a racial barrier, which was the case for White/Hispanic White couples, showed statistically similar likelihoods of divorcing as White/White marriages.[9]
The number of interracial marriages has steadily continued to increase since the 1967 Supreme Court ruling in Loving v. Virginia, but also continues to represent an absolute minority among the total number of wed couples. According to the United States Census Bureau, the number of interrracially married couples has increased from 310,000 in 1970 to 651,000 in 1980, to 964,000 in 1990, to 1,464,000 in 2000 and to 2,340,000 in 2008; accounting for 0.7%, 1.3%, 1.8%, 2.6% and 3.9% of the total number of married couples in those years, respectively.[10] These statistics do not take into account the mixing of ancestries within the same "race"; e.g. a marriage involving Indian and Japanese ancestries would not be classified as interracial due to the Census regarding both as the same category. Likewise, since Hispanic is not a race but an ethnicity, Hispanic marriages with non-Hispanics are not registered as interracial if both partners are of the same race (i.e. a Black Hispanic marrying a non-Hispanic Black partner).
White Wife | Black Wife | Asian Wife | Other Wife | |
White Husband | 50,410,000 | 168,000 | 529,000 | 487,000 |
Black Husband | 390,000 | 4,072,000 | 39,000 | 66,000 |
Asian Husband | 219,000 | 9,000 | 2,855,000 | 28,000 |
Other Husband | 488,000 | 18,000 | 37,000 | 568,000 |
Based on these figures:
In 2006, 88% of foreign-born White Hispanic males were married to White Hispanic females. In terms of out-marriage, Hispanic males who identified as White had non-Hispanic wives more often than other Hispanic men.
The study found that in 2008:[12]
The study found that in 2010:[12]
Marriages between European Americans and Asian Americans are increasingly common for both genders in the United States.[13]
Asian Americans of both genders who are U.S.-raised are much more likely to be married to Whites than their non-U.S.-raised counterparts. Of all the Asian American groups studied, Indian Americans showed the highest rates of endogamy, with the overwhelming majority of Indian American women and men marrying Indian American partners. Indian Americans were also the only Asian American group with higher outmarriage for men, whereas all other Asian American groups had higher outmarriage for women.[14] A 1998 Washington Post article states 36% of young Asian Pacific American men born in the United States married White women, and 45% of U.S.-born Asian Pacific American women took White husbands during the year of publication.[15]
According to social studies by Jenifer L. Bratter and Rosalind B. King gender plays a significant role in interracial dynamics.[9] White wife/Asian husband couples are 59% more likely to divorce by the 10th year of marriage than White wife/White husband couples, whereas Asian wife/White husband couples show only 4% greater likelihood of divorce than White wife/White husband couples over the same period.[9] Social enterprise research by the Columbia Business School (2005–2007) concluded that while East Asian women statistically prefer East Asian men for marriage, they show no discrimination against White men, causing Asian women/White men pairings to consistently become the prevalent form of interracial dating & marriage in the United States.[6]
Anti-miscegenation laws discouraging marriages between Whites and non-Whites were affecting Asian immigrants and their spouses from the late 17th to early 20th century. By 1910, 28 states prohibited certain forms of interracial marriage. Seven states including Arizona, California, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah extended their prohibitions to include people of Asian descent. The laws of Arizona, California, Mississippi, and Utah referred to "Mongolians". Asians in California were barred by anti-miscegenation laws from marrying White Americans (a group including Hispanic Americans). Nevada and Oregon referred to "Chinese," while Montana listed both "Chinese" and "Japanese" persons.[16] For example, a Eurasian daughter born to an Indian father and Irish mother in Maryland in 1680 was classified as a "mulato" and sold into slavery,[17] and the Bengali revolutionary Tarak Nath Das's white American wife, Mary K. Das, was stripped of her American citizenship for her marriage to an "alien ineligible for citizenship."[17] In 1918, there was controversy in Arizona when an Indian farmer married the sixteen year-old daughter of one of his White tenants.[18] California law did not explicitly bar Filipinos and whites from marrying, a fact brought to wide public attention by the 1933 California Supreme Court case Roldan v. Los Angeles County; however the legislature quickly moved to amend the laws to prohibit such marriages as well in the aftermath of the case.[19][20]
In the United States there has been an historical disparity between Black female and Black male exogamy ratios: according to the United States Census Bureau, there were 354,000 White female/Black male and 196,000 Black female/White male marriages in March 2009, representing a ratio of 181:100.[21] This traditional disparity has seen a rapid decline over the last two decades, contrasted with its peak in 1981 when the ratio was still 371:100.[22] In 2007, 4.6% of all married Blacks in the United States were wed to a White partner, and 0.4% of all Whites were married to a Black partner.[23]
The role of gender in interracial divorce dynamics, found in social studies by Jenifer L. Bratter and Rosalind B. King, was highlighted when examining marital instability among Black/White unions.[9] White wife/Black husband marriages show twice the divorce rate of White wife/White husband couples by the 10th year of marriage,[9] whereas Black wife/White husband marriages are 44% less likely to end in divorce than White wife/White husband couples over the same period.[9]
Filipino Americans have frequently married Native American and Alaskan Native people. In the 17th century, when Filipinos were under Spanish rule, the Spanish colonists ensured a Filipino trade between the Philippines and the Americas. When the Mexicans revolted against the Spanish, the Filipinos first escaped into Mexico, then traveled to Louisiana, where the exclusively male Filipinos married Native American women. In the 1920s, Filipino American communities of workers also grew in Alaska, and Filipino American men married Alaskan Native women.[24] On the west coast, Filipino Americans married Native American women in Bainbridge Island, Washington.[24]
With African Americans and Asian Americans, the ratios are even further imbalanced, with roughly five times more Asian female/African male marriages than Asian male/African female marriages.[25] However, C.N. Le estimated that among Asian Americans of the 1.5 generation and of the five largest Asian American ethnic groups this ratio narrows to approximately two to one.[14] Even though the disparity between African American and Asian American interracial marriages by gender is high according to the 2000 US Census,[25] the total numbers of Asian American/African American interracial marriages are low, numbering only 0.22% percent for Asian American male marriages and 1.30% percent of Asian female marriages, partially contributed by the recent flux of Asian immigrants.
Historically, Chinese American men married African American women in high proportions to their total marriage numbers due to few Chinese American women being in the United States. After the Emancipation Proclamation, many Chinese Americans immigrated to the Southern states, particularly Arkansas, to work on plantations. The tenth US Census of Louisiana counted 57% of interracial marriages between these Chinese Americans to be with African Americans and 43% to be with European American women. After the Chinese Exclusion Act, Chinese American men had fewer potential ethnically Chinese wives, so they increasingly married African American women on the West Coast.[26] In Jamaica and other Caribbean nations as well many Chinese males over past generations took up African wives, gradually assimilating or absorbing many Chinese descendants into the African Caribbean community or the overall mixed-race community.
The interracial disparity between genders among Native Americans is low. According to the 1990 US Census (which only counts indigenous people with US-government-recognized tribal affiliation), Native American women intermarried European American men 2% more than Native American men married European American women.[27] Historically in Latin America, and to a lesser degree in the United States, Native Americans have married out at a high rate. Many countries in Latin America have large Mestizo populations; in many cases, mestizos are the largest ethnic group in their respective countries.
In the United States, interracial unions between Native Americans and African Americans has also existed throughout the 16th through early 20th century resulting in some African Americans having Native American heritage.
Historically, interracial marriage in the United States was of great public opposition (often a taboo),[28] especially among whites.[29] According to opinion polls, by 1986 only third of Americans approved of interracial marriage in general.[30] In 2011, the vast majority of Americans approved of the marriages between different races in general, while just 20 years ago in 1991 less than half approved.[31] It was only in 1994 when more than half of Americans approved of such marriages in general.[29] It should be noted that the approval/disapproval rate differs between demographic groups (for example by race, gender, age, and socioeconomic and marital status).
A term has arisen to describe the social phenomenon of the so-called "marriage squeeze" for African American females.[32] The "marriage squeeze" refers to the perception that the most "eligible" and "desirable" African American men are marrying non-African American women at a higher rate, leaving African American women who wish to marry African American men with fewer partnering options. According to Newsweek, 43% of African American women between the ages of 30 and 34 have never been married. This figure is similar to the percentage of unmarried women of other races except white females.[33] Several explanations of this phenomenon have been advanced by sociologists. It may be in part due to the still lingering effects of social ostracism, to which European American men who married African American women were heavily subjected in the past.[citation needed] It may also be the result of a desire among African American women to marry African American men due to concepts such as racial loyalty. In recent times, however, many African American women have expressed a desire and openness to marriage with non-African American men.
Using PUMS data from both the 1980 and 1990 US Census to determine trends within interracial marriage among Caucasian Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans, it may be seen that endogamy (marrying within race) was more prevalent for African American men at lower education levels.[citation needed] In 1980, the numbers were as follows: African American males without a high-school diploma participated in endogamy at 96.5%; for those who received a high-school diploma, 95.6%; for those with a college degree and above, the percentage of endogamy were 94.0%.[citation needed] Therefore, the total change in percentage among African American men with a college degree was merely 2.5%.[citation needed] The rates for African American women changed very little with different educational levels. For the African American woman who had not received a high school diploma the rate was 98.7%, high school diploma was 98.6%, with some college it was 98.2%, and college degree or higher, 98.5%.[citation needed] During this time there was a significant increase in marriages between Caucasians and African Americans, maintaining that African Americans are most likely to marry Caucasians over other groups. .[citation needed]
The 1990 results show that rates of endogamy dropped for both males and females, albeit more for the African American male.[citation needed] In 1990, an African American male with a college degree and more was participating in endogamy at 90.4%; for an African American female with the same educational level, 96.4%.[citation needed] The results for the propensity of individuals at higher educational attainment levels to participate less in endogamy over the 10-year period were similar across races, including Caucasians, Hispanics, and Asian Americans.[citation needed]
According to a Baylor University study "people with no religious affiliation were not statistically more likely to be in intermarriages than evangelical or mainline Protestants or people from other religions"[34] with one exception, Catholics. Catholics were twice as likely to be in an interracial marriage than the general population.[34] It is speculated that the reason for this is twofold: the increasing diversity of the Catholic population (which has seen a huge influx of immigrants, Catholicism has sizable to significant number of adherents from many nationalities worldwide) and the fact that Catholics typically base their choice of parish on geography rather than on its ethnic or racial makeup which creates more opportunities for interracial mixing.[34]
Racial endogamy is significantly stronger among recent immigrants.[35] This result holds for all racial groups, with the strongest endogamy found among immigrants of African descent.[35] Interestingly, the gender differences in interracial marriage change significantly when the non-white partner is an immigrant. For instance, female immigrants of African descent are more likely to marry U.S.-born Caucasians than are their male counterparts.[35]
In the United States, rates of interracial cohabitation are significantly higher than those of marriage. Although only 7% of married African American men have European American wives, 12.5% of cohabitating African American men have European American partners. 25% of married Asian American women have European spouses, but 45% of cohabitating Asian American women are with European American men—higher than the percentage cohabiting with Asian men (less than 43%). [36]Of cohabiting Asian men, slightly over 37% of Asian men have white female partners and over 10% married to white women.[37] These numbers suggest that the prevalence of intimate interracial contact is around double that of what is represented by marriage data.

Shane Sutton, GB cycling head coach, has been hospitalised with bleeding on the brain following a road accident while on his bike.
The news adds to what has been a troubled 24 hours for British Cycling following the incident which saw Tour de France and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins admitted to hospital after a collision with a vehicle on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for British Cycling said: "British Cycling has confirmed that Shane Sutton, head coach for the GB Cycling Team, was involved in an incident this morning on the A6 near Levenshulme in Manchester.
"Shane was taken into hospital where it was identified he has suffered bruising and bleeding on the brain.
"Shane was wearing a helmet. He is set to undergo more tests, and is likely to stay in hospital for the next few days."
The spokesperson added: "It is extremely rare that our riders and coaches are hurt while out cycling on the road, even rarer that two incidents should occur in a short space of time, and we wish Shane and Bradley a speedy recovery.
"Cycling is not an intrinsically dangerous activity but there is much more to be done to improve conditions for cyclists on the roads.
"British Cycling is calling on the government to put cycling at the heart of transport policy to ensure that cycle safety is built into the design of all new roads, junctions and transport projects, rather than being an afterthought."
Wiggins, 32, was thrown off his bike when a white Vauxhall Astra Envoy is thought to have pulled out of a petrol station and collided with him.
A police source said his injuries from the crash were thought to be very serious at first, but later it appeared he suffered a number of broken ribs and cuts and bruises.
He was released from hospital this afternoon.
The accident happened at about 6pm yesterday in Wrightington, Lancashire, which is near to his family home in Eccleston.
Father-of-two Wiggins is known to regularly embark on training rides around the area's rural roads.
The driver of the Astra, a local woman, was uninjured.
Police sources said the collision involving Sutton, on his bike, and a Peugeot 206 car took place at about 8.55am near the junction of Stockport Road and Clare Road in Levenshulme.
The driver of the Peugeot was not injured.
No arrests were made.
North West Ambulance Service confirmed a cyclist was taken to Salford Royal Hospital with a head injury following reports of a collision with a car on the A6 at 8.50am.
The cyclist was said to be conscious and breathing when taken away by
Australian Sutton, 55, has worked with the GB Cycling team since 2002 and has been credited with playing a major role in transforming the fortunes of the sport in this country.
He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in 2010 for his services to sport.
His career began as a road and track cyclist where he won numerous titles including a Commonwealth Games gold medal in the 1978 team pursuit competition and the 1990 Milk Race.
He split his time between the track and the road in coaching this year's
British competitors at the London Olympics.
Throughout his career at GB Cycling, he was said by Team Sky to have
"repeatedly got the best out of his charges through his sheer enthusiasm and force of personality''.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "A man from Cardiff was riding a bike when he was in collision with a blue Peugeot 206 being driven by a 61-year-old man.
"He suffered a head injury in the collision and was taken to Hope Hospital for treatment. It is now believed he may have suffered a small bleed on the brain and concussion. He is now in a stable condition. The driver of the Peugeot was not injured.
"Part of Stockport Road was closed while emergency services attended the scene, but was reopened at about 10.45am. Inquiries are ongoing.''

Histroically speaking that is exactly what happened, they failed to expand and had to become the US's bitch to avoid becoming china's bitch
And an economic embargo is absolutely "bullying" in the international sense. it is exercising economic control to force a political choice in the direction you want. It is only once step below using violence to force a political choice. it is still used on countries like Iran, north Korea and Cuba as a substitute for using military force
Holy christ you're beyond help.
An economic embargo in response to atrocities and illegal invasions is not bullying, in any sense of the world. It's a refusal to be directly complicit in the war.
>Histroically speaking that is exactly what happened, they failed to expand and had to become the US's bitch to avoid becoming china's bitch
That's not even close to what happened. Japan in the 30s was not the US's bitch or China's bitch. At all.
Economic warfare (whether through sanctions or through embargo) are acts of war. So the US shouldn't be surprised the Japanese responded with ... acts of war. This isn't difficult.
> Economic warfare (whether through sanctions or through embargo) are acts of war.
That is simply untrue. Refusing to sell oil is not an act of war and has never been an act of war. I'd venture to say that no nation in history has ever considered a refusal to trade to be an act of war. But since you seem to be pretty confident in your position, please cite the examples where it has been considered an act of war under international law.
Why am I going to cite the "international laws" of politicians who are not interested in justice or truth?
Jurisprudence is philosophy and doesn't depend on the sanction or codification of justice by men in power.
Do you need to cite state law to say that murder is wrong? If there were no anti-murder laws on the books would you argue for the systematic elimination of people you didn't like? The question answers itself of course, and it's to illustrate my point: Official state codified law need not be cited for ethical / legal matters.
Oh and an example? If the Japanese embargo isn't convincing for you (an economic act of war which resulted in an actual war seems pretty convincing) then how about the US sanctions on Iraq in the 90s that resulted in the deaths of over 500,000 Iraqi children. If you want to defend that ... Good luck.
Gee, that's a long-winded way of saying that you have no evidence that any government anywhere has considered a refusal to sell oil as an act of war. If you can actually find an example of a government using a refusal to sell oil as a casus belli, let me know. Otherwise, just stop embarrassing yourself.
Gee that's a really long way to admit you lack intellectual honesty, and your moral and philosophical compasses are guided by the meager minds of politicians rather than a pursuit and love of truth.
Haha, you're so damn insistent about this.
An act of war is politically defined. You claimed that economic sanctions are as much an act of war as bombing Pearl Harbor. Find me one example, anywhere, of any nation stating that economic sanctions are an act of war. Japan certainly never claimed that.
Or you could use the analogy I provided, but that would require a desire to understand your opponent's argument.
Instead, folks like you would rather stroke their presuppositions than have a rewarding intellectual conversation that challenges their world view.
"Act of war" has real meaning in international relations. Attacking a military base is an act of war. Sending troops onto foreign soil without permission can count as an act of war. I can provide numerous examples of these being cited as casus belli. Since you are claiming that economic sanctions are, just like those things, an act of war, why are you unable to provide any examples?
Oh, that's right, because you know that you're simply wrong and you want to deflect the conversation onto some silly tangent about my moral compass. My moral compass is doing just fine, thank you, I'm not the one defending the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Looks like you've beaten out "fat skeleton" for dumbest thing said today.
You're the dimly lit flame of hope of idiots everywhere.
If you have an actual argument to make (or an example, anywhere, of economic sanctions being used as a casus belli--since /u/fkusrnms is too much of a pansy to back up his arguments, maybe you'll do it for him), let me know.
What you're asking for, an example where a government states that and economic sanction is an act of war, is completely moot in the topic of whether or not it actually is an act of war.
>Titus [the general of the besieging army] . . . lamented the deaths of so many Jerusalemites, "and, lifting up his hands to heaven . . . called God to witness, that it was not his doing." Whose doing was it? After Titus himself, there are only two candidates: the political or military leaders of the city, who have refused to surrender on terms and forced the inhabitants to fight; or the inhabitants themselves, who have acquiesced in that refusal and agreed, as it were, to run the risks of war . . . .
> What you're asking for, an example where a government states that and economic sanction is an act of war, is completely moot in the topic of whether or not it actually is an act of war.
Whether a government considers something an act of war is the only thing that matters here. International relations is carried out between governments.
Whether or not economic sanctions are wrong (and by the way, don't you dare try to equate US refusal to sell oil to Imperial Japan with the sanctions against 1990s Iraq) has no bearing whatsoever on whether it is an act of war. "Act of war" is a term with real meaning in international relations, it's not just whatever you consider reprehensible.
Here, I'll make an absolute statement so that you should have an easy time disproving it if it's wrong: There has never been any circumstance in which a refusal to sell goods is cited as a casus belli. Ever. Anywhere in human history.

Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program - page 26
Does anyone have any advice on how to make a strong letter of intent for Vanderbilt's Nurse residency program? I know they accept a lot of applicants for each cohort but I'm not sure how many people... Read More
0Nov 30, '11 by JD1977Just applied for the NRP Summer 2012 cohort Now I have to wait for my packet. Thanks for all the replies in this thread. I plan on using some of the suggestions. I'm working at Vandy in the CVICU as a care partner and I hope I can transition into a critical care nursing position now.
0Dec 1, '11 by WIBSNRNI just applied for the Summer 2012 cohort tonight, hoping to get the application packet soon! I'm wondering how my experiences stack up to others, and what really makes a difference in order to land an interview. I have a BSN from a program shared between two private schools (one shares a spot on the same Forbes and US News lists as Vanderbilt), my RN in WI (which is a multi-state license), a few scattered years of being a class senate rep and a Projects Director for a nursing association from the school, 100+ hours of volunteer experience in a hospital, and a few other things. I meet the minimum GPA requirement, however, it's not THE highest, and I do not have any previous healthcare-related job. I just have this feeling like with everything that I have done, it just won't be enough to even get an interview! Crossing my fingers that sending this application will be the start of something great! :bowingpur
0Dec 5, '11 by GnarlyCarliRNWIBSNRN: Wow. I am applying for the summer 2012 cohort as well, and after reading what you just wrote... I dont see how you could NOT get in. And I am all of sudden really doubtful of my chances!!
0Jan 17, '12 by heartNICUDoes anyone know how strict they are about accepting applications as separate documents? Long story short, there was mix up at my school's nursing office, and one of the sealed letters I included with my application package is apparently NOT the letter of recommendation that the office told me it was. I sent out my application package on Friday, and I am devastated to have just discovered this happened. I emailed Tracey to explain, but have not heard back yet. While I hope they will allow me to send the letter of recommendation separately, I would be willing to put together a whole new application package if that's what it comes down to. Any thoughts?

Drone targets Pakistan Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud. Is he dead?
(Read article summary)A US drone strike killed at least 10 militants in Pakistan Thursday. A Pakistani security official says Pakistan Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud was 'probably' killed.
Ishtiaq Mahsud/AP/File
The fate of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud remains uncertain after suspected US drone attacks in Pakistan killed at least 10 militants on Thursday. While local media reports have indicated that the strike may have killed the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader, the group's spokesman issued a statement saying that the leader was present, but unharmed by the missile strike.
As the US escalates the war in Afghanistan, eliminating key players such as Mr. Mehsud has become a more intense focus. The US, however, rarely confirms attacks in Pakistan, and it is often difficult to verify whom the attacks kill. After a drone attack killed former TTP leader Baitullah Mehsud in August, the group denied his death for weeks during an apparent succession struggle.
The reach of Mehsud goes well beyond Pakistan. In a recently released video, he appeared alongside the Jordanian suicide bomber who killed seven CIA operatives and a Jordanian intelligence officer in Afghanistan. A senior Pakistani security official told the Pakistani daily Dawn that the TTP leader had been the target of Thursday's attack and "has probably been killed."
"It is immaterial to say how many have been killed in the attack. The important thing for us is whether Hakeemullah is amongst those killed," the official said, requesting he not be named.

The 2013 Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts Call for Artists
Being an artist in Buffalo can be a good gig, for a number of reasons. Living in a city with four seasons means that there are plenty of different ways to strategically work and exhibit – a balance if you will. Local recording artist Ani DiFranco once said that she loved to live in Buffalo during the winter because it gave her time to hunker down and be creative. I never forgot that, and to this day I too look forward to winter to escape the more hectic seasons of spring, summer and fall. Hopefully many of Buffalo's artists and artisans feel the same way. The winter season also allows for the creatives to build up treasure-troves of work, that can then be sold at art festivals, both locally and in other parts of the country.
If you have been brushing up on your craft, while building up your portfolio of sellable pieces, then consider answering the Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts (EAFA) "Call for Artists". EAFA is one of the city's premier events that showcases so many wonderful artists and artisans, local foods, live music and dance performances. Be sure to get your application in early – all of the information that you need can be found on the festival's website.

Study: About one construction worker dies a day in Texas
POSTED: Thursday, April 4, 2013 - 6:23am
UPDATED: Thursday, April 4, 2013 - 7:47am
El Paso —
Wage theft, it's a problem that is not only occurring in El Paso, it's an epidemic. All this according to a local group who is working with employess who are not at least minimum wage.
Juan Carlos Casteneda was a construction worker here in El Paso, but says he was fired after asking his employer a simple question.
"I talked to him and I asked him why he didn't pay me. And then I was fired," Casteneda said.
Elena Arrevalo also says she was fired from her job at a dry cleaners after asking why she wasn't paid.
"I was threatened. They said they were going to call the police, or they would call immigration," Arrevalo told us.
Casteneda's and Arrevalo's stories are unfortunately very familiar here in Texas and both are seeking help with the Labor Justice Committee.
"The Labor Justice Committee was started to try and fight this epidemic of unpaid wages. Wage theft we call it," Shalini Thomas, a member of the Labor Justice Committee said.
The group is working with Arrevalo and Castenda. But so far, they say, neither of their former employers are working with them.
"We worked hard for him. Monday through Friday, sometimes Saturday. And you paid us half," Casteneda claimed.
Casteneda says he worked for a construction company here in El Paso, a sector which is riddled with many problems here in Texas.
"Texas is the most deadly state for construction workers," according to Thomas.
Thomas cited a recent study out of the University of Texas, at Austin. The study claims more than 40 percent of construction workers were found to be victims of payroll fraud and were misclassified as independent contractors.
"Texas is the only state that does not mandate workers compensation and because of that we have almost an average of one worker death a day," Thomas told us.
To beat these statistics the group is working with all workers who feel they are not getting paid fairly.
"The only way to stop that situation is you come forward, you talk to us about what's going on, and we do everything we can to make sure you're getting a fair wage," Thomas said.

Bullard student anglers qualify for prestigious tournament
(KETK) - Tyler, Tx — Two Bullard High School fishermen placed third in their region, landing them a spot in the first-ever Skeeter Boats -- Texas Top 6 Invitational Tournament.
Bullard senior Landen Beckham and sophomore Kevin Haugh beat out 122 teams to place third in their region. And now their favorite past-time is paying off big as they prepare for one of the largest high school tournaments in the state.
"I've always loved competition," Beckham said. " I play basketball here at Bullard. And I've loved to fish since I was little, so you combine both competition and fishing.... I can't handle it, it's so addicting.
Hooked on the possibility that each release of their line, could reel in a win for their hometown and their high school.
"It's amazing to see that our students can compete at that level," said Bullard Principal Scott Franks.
Winning this tournament will not be easy, since they will compete against the top six teams from three Texas regions, but the boys say they are ready.
"We've got a bunch of work research wise and pre-fishing but your fishing against the best kids in Texas so you're really going to have to bring it," Beckham said.
The duo placed in the top 10, in four of their five qualifying tournaments.
"We tried really hard, did our research and it paid off," Beckham said.
The tournament will take place this June 14 at Lake Fork.

Bossier Parish SO: Tornado touched down in area; 10 houses damaged
NWS team headed to Panola County as well
PLAIN DEALING, LA (KETK) — The Bossier Sheriff's Office confirms an alleged tornado touched down in the area of Plain Dealing on Buckshot Road.
According to KETK meteorologists, a tornado warning was issued at 3:10 a.m., and a report of a child inury and house damage followed just 3 minutes later. Deputies later learned no one was hurt outside of minor scratches and bruises.
Davis said four to six houses received substantial damage and another 10 had moderate to slight damage. The tornado is believed to have traveled in an easterly to northeasterly direction from Buckshot Road to Rat Terrier Lane near Highway 537. The alleged tornado's path measured about a mile.
Crews are currently working to clear debris and downed trees on houses in the area. Bossier Sheriff Julian C. Whittington is on scene directing deputies, as well as inmates.
The National Weather Service sent a survey team to examine the reports. A group will also be headed to Panola County where a warning was issued at 2:46 a.m. and extended at 3:19 a.m.
Some families are expected to be displaced, but the situation is still being assessed, said Davis.
Buckshot Road is located about 6 miles west of Plain Dealing, Louisiana.

Walking to the corner shop just now, writing a text on phone, a oldish guy with a little boy passes and I smile vaguely at them, as I tend to do with people in my area. He seems a bit drunk/stoned. He then comes back and points at my phone – 'Who are you texting?' Such a weird question'Er, my friend'. I move to go on. 'Hey, hey, can I just say something?' I shrug. 'You look [he leans in toward me]… really nice.' I shrug again and say drily 'Er, thanks'. He then tries to detain me further, something like 'Can I talk to you?'. 'No, I'm going to the shop,' I say, and carry on.
The most I ever manage in situations like this is cool disdain and baffledness; I guess I think it's the best policy. But this kind of harassment makes me feel a bit scared and then really fucking angry. Because how dare you just ask me who I'm texting, tell me I look nice, then expect me to talk to you? I would never, never approach a man or woman in this way. And I wish I could say next time 'Why do you think you have a right to these things? What would you do if someone asked you?'
On the train at noon a party gets on – 3 men round my table.One asks:
"What you reading?"
Me: "Elizabeth Gaskell"
"Where you going?"
"Mind if I do some drugs?…Want a drink?"
"Want to see my air guitar/piano/muscles?"
"Look at my eyes?…Can I come back to yours?"
"Want to come clubbing?"
"Want my number/facebook"
"Mind if I take my top off?"
"What would you do if I kissed you?"
Report you
"I'll look after you"
I don't need looking after.
He photographed me while singing a sexual song.
When I was 15 I was walking home from the train station at around 6pm. This being winter, it was already dark and I was walking as quickly as could over the ice as I could already hear the group of 6 drunk men behind me. They started throwing snow at me as I was walking along and when I turned round they began shouting at me, telling me they were going to take me back to their house and then described a few things they wanted to do to me. I ran home as fast as I could without slipping.
I was out running on bank holiday Monday. A car full of young lads was jeering in articulately and whistling at me towards the end of my run. It was not scary, in broad daylight near so many people, but it is insulting and ridiculous.
Why on earth does anyone think it is ok to behave that way?

It was about 5.30pm and I was walking up Park Row in Leeds towards my bus stop to get home. As I did, I overtook a man who seemed perhaps a bit drunk, he was walking slowly and kind of getting in my way. Ahead of me was a young woman, crossing the road from the other side to ours, chatting loudly on the phone. I noticed she had a pen through the back of her ponytail and wondered if she had forgotten to take it out. I don't know if this was related, but at this moment, a man to my left (who I believe to be the same man who was behind me before) literally just said in my ear, "She's gotta nice arse ain't she?" He must have crept up behind me without me noticing but I surprised myself by not being stunned; I looked him straight in the eye and stared disgustedly at him. He responded by saying "eh?" as if to follow on from his question, like I was going to give him an answer(!) and I just started walking faster, away from him, without looking back. I don't think the woman in front had any idea what had gone on as she didn't even turn round and he was that close to me when he said it, I doubt she would have heard. This made it pretty isolating for me but I suddenly felt really protective of the woman, like I should shout at this man to back off and draw attention to it, but I just wanted to get away as fast as I could.
I don't understand why he picked me to say this to, perhaps he was just drunk, but all of the feelings I get from 'typical' street harassment came flooding back and I was glad that my bus was there waiting for me so I didn't have to hang around. I think it was how close he was to me without me realising that affected me the most. All the way home I was furious, trying to make sense of the whole thing. I'm still not sure how I 'should' have reacted to the situation.
Walking near the Corn Exchange early in the evening (people were still out shopping) a group of men I had to walk past began discussing all the women around them and whether they were 'Fat Pandas'. I was a 'Fat Leopard' apparently, as I was wearing leopard print. They went on to talk about my backside until I managed to get away.
Later, on my walk to get the bus home, near Morrisons at the Merrion Centre, I had to walk past a group of about 10 drunk men. One of them shouted "she takes it up the f*cking arse! she loves it!" I turned round and swore back as creatively as I could, and kept walking away. Then the others joined in. One of them shouted that he had a "huge d*ck" and that he would indeed love to use it… You can imagine the rest. I told him that he would not be able to do that, as he was a eunuch. Then I managed to get them to shut up, by adding "and you don't even know what a eunuch is". Well, I'm not proud, it's not really nice to talk about the validity of someone's private parts, and what constitutes gender…(I'm talking about what I said about eunuchs. I know there are loads of people who have gender identity issues who would not be pleased with my comments). But I was soooooooo cross! Just wanted to put them down.

There is no doubt that reading someone's biography provides the interest that we usually find in a novel or a story. The difference is that we read the real life accounts when we read the biographies, on the contrary of novels (except some novels based on the historical themes). In addition, we find the opportunity to understand someone's experiences while reading the life histories of personalities.
The life histories of both positive and negative characters of history are available in the market. Interestingly, the biographies of some freebooters of renaissance and medieval eras can also be found in the market of the paperbacks. These paperbacks play a significant role in providing the ideas to the fashion industry for the manufacture of pirate shirts, skirts, pants and other dresses, which are famous in a wide range of people. "A General History of Pyrates" written by Denial Defoe was published in Britain in 1724, which is one of the books written on accounts of the freebooters. It is the primary source of information for the life histories of a number of sea rovers.
But, the accounts of freebooters written in the abovementioned book are very brief. So, a number of authors researched on the detailed life accounts of the raiders. "Mary Read: Sailor, Soldier, Pirate" written by Cherry Pughs is one of the perfect examples this regard. This is the detailed life sketch of a famous female freebooter Mary Read, written in the first person narrative. Mary Read has been pretended as the narrator of the story; therefore, the book sounds like her autobiography.
This book comprises of nine parts and thirty three chapters and it begins with "Prologue: Adrift". Thereafter, we find the first part of the book, which consists of five chapters. The first chapter "My Beginnings" talks about her childhood. The chapter starts in a strange manner as "I was born as a bastard". The second part consists of the four chapters, which talk about the life of Mary Read in navy. She spent a major part of her life in the navy. After completion of this part, the story about her later struggle begins. Chapter 7 and 8 are focused on her life as a pirate in Caribbean Sea.
The dialogues of this book are interesting to read, and they give the feel of a play. Moreover, it is one of the best books to give the detailed information about the aforementioned notorious female raider. Besides, the topic of other famous female sea rover Anne Bonny has also been covered in the epilogue of the book.
The book has been published by Metrobooks and can be bought as paperback as well as Kindle document. Some part of "Mary Read: Sailor, Soldier, Pirate" can be read in the Google Books section also totally free of cost, but many pages of the books are omitted and you are required to purchase the book from online or offline stores in order to read it completely. The fashion designers can take the help from this book for making some more excellent style pirate clothing.

We live in a drafty, old, farmhouse that is cold in the Winter and Hot in the Summer but it is a home of many views from many windows that allows us to look out onto our own personal world and everything that is important.
The back room that was once a porch, but was enclosed years ago has one whole wall made up of windows...large and small and allows us to to look out upon our side pasture.

It was all about variety for me. Even though I'd always known that I wanted to work in HR, I liked the idea that The Co-operative would let me try a number of different things so I could be sure I was going in the right direction. I was excited that I might go from Pharmacy to Farms to Funeralcare – and that was the main attraction.
I wasn't disappointed. For example, I've recently changed projects from organising exhibitions for Funeralcare to working on a new workforce management system for Food. What's interesting is that I've made contacts in each department that I've been able to make use of in the following project, and this kind of cross-fertilisation is unique to the programme. When I compare my experiences to those of my friends in other organisations, I'm certainly getting more variety – and more respect from senior managers and directors from the very start.
I certainly feel that the business values its graduates – but the level of senior exposure can be a little daunting in the early days. Imagine my surprise when I realised that I was to make a presentation to around 50 very senior people at the end of my two-week induction! You get used to that quickly, though, and it's great to see your ideas carried into the business as some of mine have been. I'm extremely proud that a policy I wrote for employees who are carers is being rolled out as I speak.
I'd recommend The Co-operative to any graduate on the strength of the graduate programme alone. But add to that the unique qualities of the business and the fact that we're going from strength to strength in difficult times, and I think there's no place to match The Co-operative for opportunity, variety, stability and responsibility
