Dover Doin's: Living the dream?
Monday, April 15, 2013

Mike Mengers of the Dover Chamber of Commerce said with a grin "I always wanted to play professional baseball, but I guess that one's gone by the boards, so my next dream would be operations manager for Fenway Park, putting my skills and training to good use and getting to rub elbows with the pros." (Watch out Molly Hodgson Smith the Sox may steal your guy away!)
Therein sits the desire of many. After workin' for the man (as we used to say in the 70s), folks are ready to make a change into becoming entrepreneurs.

Coalition's paid parental leave scheme unfair: experts
PUBLISHED: 19 Aug 2013 00:06:00 | UPDATED: 19 Aug 2013 05:45:13PUBLISHED: 15 Aug 2013 PRINT EDITION: 19 Aug 2013Michaela Whitbourn and Lucille Keen
Public policy experts have criticised the Coalition's $6 billion paid parental leave scheme for rewarding wealthier women, while professional workers welcomed the promise of extra money.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott released details of his generous paid parental leave scheme on Sunday, including 26 weeks' leave on full pay – or the national minimum wage, whichever is highest – plus superannuation for each baby born after July 1, 2015.
The maximum a woman can be paid is $75,000, compared with $11,200 under Labor's scheme, which provides 18 weeks' pay at the minimum wage.
"Why on earth would you have a policy, to support babies and kids basically, that gave more to those who earned the most? " University of Sydney public economics professor Patricia Apps said. "It contradicts every concept of fairness.
"It is a classic Howard policy designed to encourage women to go out of the workforce and the better off they are [the more they get]."
Adelaide conveyancer Nadia Eblen, 31, said she and her husband Will wanted to have children in the next three years. She said the Coalition's policy was "a lot more appealing" for professional women, although she was not reliant on a baby bonus.
Receiving 26 weeks' pay would give her "peace of mind" that she didn't need to rush back to work, Mrs Eblen said.
'Benefit professionals'
She said: "I don't think 18 weeks is enough time; it's meant to be a good time." Sydney-based commercialisation manager Karina Grados agreed the scheme would benefit professional women. She was already 28 weeks' pregnant and said she hoped the legislation would be introduced to Parliament before she went on maternity leave.
Ms Grados said the scheme "would absolutely help continue to pay the mortgage". But she was concerned a 1.5 per cent tax on the country's top 3000 companies – which the Coalition says will be used to help pay for the scheme – would result in pay cuts.
"Companies have to cut from somewhere," she said.
The Coalition said on Sunday an additional $6.1 billion over the forward estimates would be "covered by savings and other measures" in the federal budget.
Marian Baird, a professor of employment relations at the University of Sydney, said federal Labor's parental leave scheme was already "functioning well" and there was a risk big business would pass on the Coalition's 1.5 per cent tax.
The inclusion of superannuation in the Coalition's scheme was welcome, but there were "question marks" about whether the policy would ever be delivered. Professor Baird said the difference in the amount women would receive under the policies reflected wage dispersion across industries .

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Kevin Kolb still has lingering concussion symptoms but the Arizona quarterback is resisting the idea that his injury-plagued first season with the Cardinals is over.
Kolb says he didn't do much when his teammates practiced on Wednesday after a test he on Tuesday confirmed the symptoms. He called it "a full psych exam" that showed slowing in his reactions and processing of information.
The quarterback has not played since he took a knee to the head on Arizona's third offensive play against the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 11. Kolb missed four games earlier in the season with a right turf toe injury.
John Skelton is 4-2 as a starter in Kolb's absence, 5-2 counting the 49ers game. The Cardinals wrap up their season at home Sunday against Seattle.

My chinchilla destroyed this in a week

Comments about Hay Buffet with Snap & Lock Lid:
I bought this for the inside of my chinchilla's cage. This hay dispenser - plastic - has no business being in the cage of an animal that chews as much as a chinchilla. I ended up buying a metal hay dispenser instead. A waste of money, even if it was cheap.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Superintendent recommends health insurance change
POSTED: Friday, July 13, 2012 - 9:00pm
UPDATED: Friday, July 13, 2012 - 9:04pm
BATON ROUGE, La. (NBC33) — Days before important decisions are made regarding health care coverage for all East Baton Rouge School System employees, and the superintendent is making his opinion known.
"What we're trying to do is find good in a not so ideal situation," said Superintendent Bernard Taylor.
All eyes are on Taylor and the school board as they will make health care decisions sure to affect thousands of former and current employees of the school system.
"If we don't move forward expeditiously, potential rate of increase could be very significant," Taylor said.
Taylor suggests the district should move to put the 2,700 eligible retirees into a Medicare program, that he said will save the district eight-million a year.
A raucous meeting on Monday ended with the board voting to defer a decision on benefits. At least 100 retirees packed the meeting room, demanding more details before any action was taken.
"I think people have thought narrowly about how it impacts retirement," Taylor said. "It affects everyone. Everyone."
Taylor warned that if his suggestion doesn't pass, that premiums for all former and current employees will rise by 33-percent.
As president of the Baton Rouge Area Retired Teachers Association, Arthur Lamm agreed with the superintendent.
"I'm happy as a retiree," Lamm said. "And I appreciate the school board for doing this."
Lamm said he's encouraging those eligible to sign up for Medicare. He said for decades it's supported him better than any other health plan could.
"Twenty years, I've paid no out of cost expenses for healthcare," Lamm said.
The board will vote on a healthcare option next Thursday. But Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, informational hearings will be held to answer any questions both current and former East Baton Rouge School System employees may have. Click here for more information.

It is possible that the main title of the report Hyperexplexia is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- Exaggerated Startle Reaction
- Familial Startle Disease
- Hyperekplexia
- Kok Disease
- Startle Disease
General Discussion
Hyperexplexia is a rare autosomal dominant, hereditary, neurological disorder that may affect infants as newborns (neonatal) or prior to birth (in utero). It may also affect children and adults. Individuals with this disorder have an excessive startle reaction to sudden unexpected noise, movement, or touch. Symptoms include extreme muscle tension (stiffness or hypertonia) that can cause the affected person to fall stiffly, like a log, without loss of consciousness. Exaggeration of reflexes (hyperreflexia), and an unstable way of walking (gait) may also occur.
The treatment of hyperexplexia is relatively uncomplicated and involves the use of anti-anxiety and anti-spastic medicines. However, the disorder is frequently misdiagnosed as a form of epilepsy so that the process of getting an accurate diagnosis may be prolonged.

A team of specially trained professionals-physicians, nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, bereavement counselors, chaplains and volunteers-all work with the patient and family to create a plan of care tailored to meet the patient's unique physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Hospice does not take a narrow view of complexities of the needs of patients with an irreversible illness and their families. While the control of physical pain and other physical symptoms is the central and primary concern for caregivers, it is not the only priority. The patient with an irreversible illness suffers from an array of emotional, spiritual, social and financial problems. The rationale for Hospice caregiving is that it is impossible for any one discipline to provide the range of services required. Through the team approach, Hospice helps patients and families attain optimum quality of life.

Recently, ACE whitewater rafting and adventure vacation scientists decided to experiment on several ordinary American college students, just to see what would happen.
We substituted their normal spring break with a stay in a cabin in the New River Gorge region of West Virginia here at ACE. We provided the adventures, in the form of Bridge Walks, zip line canopy tours, and hiking in the New River Gorge.
And a cabin with a hot tub.
What follows are the results, as described to us by the people in Venture Crew 365* from the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. We swear that the statements they gave us are actual written responses from ordinary (though admittedly awesome) young people, who were not under the influence of abnormal amounts of fast food or Axe body spray.
Rebecca, real-life actual college student:
My ACE adventure trip was so much fun!
We have done so many activities that I never would think about myself doing. I am not a big camping person but I have loved everything we have done at ACE so far.
Although, I have to say, the trip here was long. It was horrible. We got lost A LOT, so I would recommend leaving early and arriving in the daylight!
The chalets were AMAZING! I was very happy to be able to go back to our nice cabin and sleep in a comfy bed each night. The hot tubs were also very nice to relax in after a long busy day of outdoor activities.
The first day we went on the Endless Wall hike along the river gorge. The view was snowy and absolutely beautiful!
On the second day we were supposed to go rock climbing and rappelling, but the weather did not allow us to do that. Instead we went on the bridge walk on the New River Gorge Bridge. It was very cool, and also scary.
Overall, it was a lot of fun and I would love to come back and do the many other things ACE has to offer.
And there you have it. Real coeds like ACE so much, they even make it a spring break destination. Cool.
*Venturing is a part of the Boy Scouts of America, but it's co-ed and the age limit is 21. It is quite possibly the greatest program ever invented for young people to get involved in. Their adventures are pretty much only limited by the imaginations of each Crew. We're big fans.

The materials are fine, but the instructions are terrible, and a few steps are missing (the steps with instructions for attaching the lid hardware). Also, the lid is warped so the fit isn't very good.

Cats in Tanks
Feeling uninspired and short of time. This should indicate my cats' mood when I'm not to bed earlier. Goodnight, and good morning.
Jigglypuff & the Guinea Pigs
This last year has been trying for all of us, but there's a bright spot in the clouds. Fellow blogger and friend Kate Campbell has three friends to help get her through the day: Mister Eccles' friend Jigglypuff, with her Guinea pig pals May Gibbs and Beatrix Potter. As well as helping out around the house and 'assisting' in Kate's online activity, as I suspect Mr. Eccles may do with mine (looks back to glare suspiciously at Mr. Eccles…), the girls like to play games, though my mere monkey intellect fails to grasp the intricacies of such subtle sport. What plans might the girls be up to at this hour? Taking over the world, perhaps? The photo collage below and other images are hosted here: http://muzy.com/l/6fv2d49l. I'll let Kate put things in her own words:
Jigglypuff is a calico (which we call tortoiseshell here in Australia. She was originally a country cat, but now she is semi-rural/not-quite-city cat. She is 12 years old. She is named after the Pokemon of the same name. May Gibbs is the chocolate brown guinea pig and Beatrix Potter is the tortoiseshell one. They are both short-haired and they are both 1 year old. They love eating a variety of fruit and vegetables every day. They were named after two of my favourite children's writers.
They are all skeptics, except they believe in unicorns.
Thanks for guesting us.
Love Kate & the girls
Rest easy, old Gumbyman…
Well, I kind of saw this coming, but our oldest cat, officially named Nedaulec, better known as Gumbyman, was put to sleep this last Saturday morning in a final act of release from further suffering from his many infirmities, including renal failure at his advanced age.
Gumby was our last surviving Katrina refugee, found in a kennel in New Orleans abandoned with some of his 'lady friends.' Neutered only two weeks before we got him from an animal rescue service, he spent many good years with us in a life of relative peace and relaxation.
We'll always remember him as a really sweet old fella with his grouch-face and his abundantly fluffy tail, the favorite plaything of Mr. Eccles…
You're gone, 'old man,' but hardly forgotten…
Here are some of his best moments…
We Can Haz Teh Gnoo Kitteh — She's Gorgeous — SRSLY!
We have a new addition to our menagerie of feline buddies, and here's the latest, our female, Gorgeous…
As my Twitter friend @chaosagent23 said, she is so fluffeh! — and so laid-back! — a new friend for Doctor Mew…
All hail the latest of our feline masters…Kilrathi (or K'zinti for that matter) have nothing on our cats!

Lethbridge Deals Fadden to Tri-City
Submitted by chad on November 5, 2008 - 18:17(WHL Release) Lethbridge Hurricanes General Manager, Roy Stasiuk and Tri City Americans General Manager, Robert Tory jointly announced a major trade today which sees high scoring forward and Lightning prospect, Mitch Fadden and defensemen, Cam Stevens and Brock Sutherland moving south in exchange for defenseman, Eric Mestery and forward Drew Hoff.
The two GM's made a huge splash two years ago when high scoring forward (and former Traverse City Lightning member), Colton Yellow Horn was moved to the Americans in exchange for a first round draft pick. Yellow Horn went on to become one of the more prolific scorers in the WHL and the Hurricanes' secured scoring prospect, Mark Reners in the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft.
"Mitch Fadden is an incredibly gifted, talented and exciting player, however, our biggest need right now is a solid top four defenseman and Eric Mestery fits that bill." said Stasiuk, the Canes' GM added, "With Luca Sbisa remaining with the Philadelphia Flyers, we had to use some of our offensive depth in order to address a more pressing need. Cam and Brock will both have more opportunity to develop in supporting roles with the Americans and Drew Hoff is expected to inject some energy into our forward groupings."
Jung Traded ... Again
Submitted by chad on October 22, 2008 - 12:17The goalie no one in the WHL wanted now suddenly is in high demand.
For the second time in a week, Lightning prospect Torrie Jung was traded. This time, Lethbridge dealt the netminder to the Edmonton Oil Kings, who were unhappy with the inconsistency of veteran goaltender Dalyn Flette and need healthy options in net.
Lightning Claim Pettinger; Lose Koci
Submitted by timothy on October 21, 2008 - 12:35It was a busy morning on Channelside today as the Tampa Bay Lightning claimed veteran forward Matt Pettinger off of recall waivers from the Vancouver Canucks. Pettinger, who was acquired by the Canucks at the trade deadline last February from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Matt Cooke, failed to make the Vancouver roster out of camp and was assigned to the AHL Manitoba Moose. Pettinger had 3 goals for Manitoba in 2 games, and has 56 goals, 105 points in 354 NHL games with the Capitals and Canucks. The Canucks are on the hook for half of his $1.1M contract, and he is expected to join the Lightning instead of being reassigned to Norfolk.
The Lightning also placed reserve forward Jason Ward on waivers today, presumably ahead of a possible signing and activation of veteran defenseman Marek Malik.
It was also announced by the NHL that enforcer David Koci was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Blues. Koci was waived on Monday ahead of an anticipated activation of foward Ryan Craig off of IR. Tampa will have the first option to reclaim Koci from the Blues if he cannot maintain a roster spot with St. Louis, and would be free to be reassigned to Norfolk by the Lightning.
Jung Joins Fadden in Lethbridge
Submitted by chad on October 17, 2008 - 06:56The Kelowna Rockets have announced they have officially traded goaltender Torrie Jung to the Lethbridge Hurricanes for a sixth round Bantam draft pick in 2010.
Jung joins fellow Lightning prospect Mitch Fadden in Lethbridge. He had been staying at his Nanaimo, B.C. home waiting for a trade. Jung was expected to be Kelowna's No.1 goaltender this year, but a pre-season trade for a more experienced No.1 changed things for the former seventh round pick.
Lightning Acquire D Lukas Krajicek, LW Juraj Simek from Canucks
Submitted by chad on October 6, 2008 - 12:53(tampabalightning.com) The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired defenseman Lukas Krajicek and left wing Juraj Simek from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for defenseman Shane O'Brien and right wing Michel Ouellet, executive vice president of hockey operations Brian Lawton announced today.
"Lukas is a proven NHL performer who can sure up our blue line and help with our transitional game,†Lawton said. "With the addition of Juraj, we feel we have added to our depth at forward and we look forward to seeing what he can do in our organization this year.â€
Krajicek, a 6-foot-2, 196-pound native of Prostejov, Czech Republic, played in 39 games with the Canucks last season, recording two goals and 11 points with one power-play goal. He missed the majority of the season due to a shoulder injury, finishing the campaign on the injured reserve.

Noise levels, particularly on High Frequency (H.F) are becoming increasingly severe within the confines of suburbia with the proliferation of consumer products generating more and more noise. Even on VHF the simulcast paging networks for emergency services have raised the noise floor considerably and if you are lucky enough to have a high VHF location, the downside is that you "see" more sites and hear more signals than most.
One of the best methods to avoid such noises, aside from RF shielding your entire property, is to go portable – out into the clean air, the clear skies and a much less noisy radio environment.
Recently my family and I chose Porepunkah as our Easter holiday location, camping on the banks of the Ovens River.
Porepunkah is a small town located on the Great Alpine Road, 6 kilometres north-west of Bright and is the gateway to Mount Buffalo and the surrounding national park. It is situated between Myrtleford and Bright, a pleasant 3 hour or so drive from Melbourne via the Hume Freeway and a cross country drive through Milawa after turning off the freeway just north of where the two McDonalds stores sit like sentries either side of the freeway.
The town has a general store, hotel and a few speciality shops. It is a very picturesque area, surrounded by mountains and a favourite for gliding enthusiasts, both powered and un-powered. In fact a few relaxing hours were spent at the Porepunkah Airport watching gliders being towed into the skies and micro-lights buzzing around like motor mowers on steroids!!
It is always a good idea to keep your portable equipment separate to that which is used on a day to day basis, if you can. In my case you can see in Photograph 1 my basic portable antenna equipment – end fed zeppelin wire antenna for HF with 450 ohm ladder line (1/2 wave on 80 metres in length), a Diamond X50 VHF/UHF vertical antenna and a homebrew 4 element 2 metre beam with 2 lengths of low loss solid copper core cable.
The first duty when setting up the portable camp (after completing orders by the Director of War (XYL) is to determine where the HF antenna is to be deployed. Generally I try to:
- Find a single, solid, fairly high tree to anchor one end of the zepp , noting that at the operating end the zepp is tethered to the mast which in turn is bolted to my trailer;
- Ensure that where possible, the antenna does not cross the path of other campers or their equipment;
- Is reasonably covert and does not draw too much attention.
In this case I was fortunate in that we had no campers to the south or west of our camp so I was free to run the end fed zepp wherever I wanted, however a straight run for the antenna was not available so I chose to run the zepp in an L shape with the zepp running south west for half of its length then north-north west for the other half. The zepp is a ½ wave on 80 metres using PVC coated multistrand copper wire, with 450 ohm ladder line as the feeder. This is fed into an MFJ Versa Tuner II Antenna Matching Unit (AMU). The zepp loads up on all bands, including 6 metres. On 6 however the efficiency is down to around 50%, but still is useful. One year I operated on 6 metres with the zepp and worked a VK5 for 25 minutes with 10 watts power – not a bad effort.
So, how did I go? Well, given my location at around 10 metres above sea level, VHF/UHF was not a roaring success on simplex or SSB, however a number of good contacts were made with Ian VK3AQU, Chris VK3KQU and Phil VK2CPR via the Mt. Hotham and Mt. Big Ben VHF repeaters.
In terms of "local" contacts it was great to catch up with Peter, VK3YE, operating Pedestrian Mobile at Carrum and being heard in Porepunkah with a consistent 5 x 8 signal on 40mx. Peter was running his FT817D with 5 watts and a magnetic loop antenna. Must build one. Then it was like a club net – Ian VK3QL, Frank VK3OP and Chris VK3FY were all solid signals on 40mx. Graeme, VK3PGK, now living in Echuca, was a solid 5 x 9 signal using his 9 metre mast and an end fed antenna. I also worked two SOTA stations, Andrew VK1NAM at Mt. Ginini and Allen VK3HRA on VC-024 to the west of Melbourne, both on 40mx.
The transceiver, microphone and interconnecting cables, together with the AMU and cables, are stored in aluminium cases with foam inserts. This protects the equipment and makes all gear readily transportable. All other cables, HF antenna, hardware and spare ropes are stored and carried in an old army type kit bag. The speaker I use is a refurbished military type speaker made in 1937, which provides a rich, balanced sound from the FT857D.
Equipment is unpacked, set-up, operated and then re-packed each time I operate. This sounds like a chore but in reality takes only a few minutes. All power cables have Anderson plug connectors, including battery leads and power leads in the car.
This allows me to either use a standalone battery with solar panel trickle charging or the car battery. When the VHF/UHF antennas are not in use, the coaxial cable tails are stored in a waterproof bag whilst the ladder line feeder for the HF antenna is coiled and stored in a tree to ensure that pedestrians in our camp do not become tangled. Safety first!!
Finally, it is an imperative to make a checklist of all of the equipment required to operate successfully portable, as through bitter experience nothing is worse than heading away, setting up equipment, then finding you have left a microphone and/or morse keyer on your bench. Generally once I have returned from an operation, I re-stow equipment and check all contents so that when I pick up the equipment to operate again it is all there and ready to rock. Happy portable operations!!

Discuss supernatural elements in Coleridge's Kubla Khan.
1 Answer | Add Yours
Kubla Khan, a poem published in 1816 by leading Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge originated in an opium-induced dream nearly thirty years before in 1797. The poem of 54 lines fitly bears all the marks of a feverish dream: vibrant, episodic, and - near the end in the third part - inappurtenant since the lines concerning the Abyssinian maid are unrelated to the main topic. The first part of the poem is the transcript of the dream that Coleridge tried to remember after waking. The second part is the reification in supernatural terms of the poet's mental experience of dream. It is as if Coleridge wanted to validate an intensely otherworldly, but personal experience by marrying it to supernatural images.

ADAM[S] Family TiesUpdated March 19, 2010 |
Our ancestors, who were of German descent, were originally from an area in Prussia which is now Poland. They moved to Volhynia [Ukraine] in 1836, and then in 1879, came to the U. S. and settled in Franklin County, NE. Drought and extremely bad winter weather caused most of them to leave NE about 1881, when some families went to Waupaca County, Wisconsin. Martin Adam, Samuel Adam and a couple of Zeismann families went from NE to Columbia County, OR by 1883. They left Franklin Co., NE in February and didn't arrive in Columbia Co., OR until that fall. Then, in late 1890, Martin took his family from Oregon to Waupaca County, Wisconsin and Samuel remained at Scappoose, OR. |

Genocide Watch upgraded South Africa to stage 5 (polarization) from 2001 – 2011 because the country's racial divisions continued, there was a high level of youth unemployment in the black population, and the country had an appalling crime rate, including one of the world's worst rape rates gainsays all groups in the country. Genocide Watch has been particularly concerned for over ten years at the hate crimes perpetrated against Boer farmers and other whites – bodies of murder victims dissembled and disfigured, old women raped in front of their husbands, and other strong evidence of racially targeted crimes. However, Genocide Watch had no evidence that the South African government was encouraging these crimes or that they were organised by an organised hate group.
Now Genocide Watch states that they have evidence of organised incitement to violence against white people. It began with the rise of Julias Malema, President of the African National Congress Youth League, who began singing the old anti Boer song: Kill the Boer" at rallies of the youth League, then called for expropriation of white owned lands while he was in Zimbabwe visiting Robert Mugabe, and has most recently called Botswana's racially harmonious society "neo-colonial," and has called for the over through of Botswana's government. Genocide watch will not downgrade the situation to stage 5 until Malema steps down from government.
2 Responses to "Genocide Watch upgrades South Africa to Stage 6 "Preparation""
I find this peculiar. im a South African who is well aware of what is going on in this coutry, and for this article to insinuate that the whites in this country suffer from organised crime targeting them is ridiculous. Furthermore, the reporter should also be informed that Malema has never held a government position,ever.
1. Question and minimize the statistics. Sudan's Foreign Minister Mustaf Osman Ismail said on 9 September 2004, that no more than 5,000 people have been killed in Darfur since February 2003. [2005: The Sudanese government has not raised its estimate of deaths since.] In contrast, 50,000 [2005: 160,000]deaths is considered a low estimate by the U.N., World Food Program, and the ICRC. The Sudanese Embassy in Washington said the interviews were all conducted with Darfur refugees in Chad, not in Sudan, so were invalid. But refugee accounts are among the most reliable indicators of crimes because witnesses testify freely, without fear. The interviews were conducted in Chad because the Sudanese Embassy refused to grant visas to the investigation team. The U.S. has proposed a Security Council resolution that would send investigators into Darfur to gather evidence of the crimes where they were committed, which Sudan rejects.
2. Attack the motivations of the truth-tellers. Dismiss U.S. charges as products of election-year politics in America, or of anti-Islamic imperialists who have demonstrated their hatred of Arabs in Iraq at Abu-Ghraib prison. This ad-hominem "moral disqualification" argument was the red-herring used by the Sudanese Ambassadors at both the U.N. Commission on Human Rights and the U.N. Security Council. It is aimed to appeal to fellow Islamic countries like Algeria and Pakistan.
3. Claim that the deaths were inadvertent, as a result of famine, migration, or disease, not because of willful murder. This is the usual line given to relief officials to turn the blame back upon them for not supplying more assistance, hypocritically ignoring the systematic obstruction the Sudanese government has placed in the way of visas for humanitarian workers and delivery of food and medicine.
4. Emphasize the strangeness of the victims. Whether they be classified as infidels, primitive tribalists, or of another race and caste, they are unlike us. Thus, the highly influential Sudanese "Arab Gathering" considers black Africans to be "abd" (male slaves) and "kahdim" (female slaves.) and advocates their exclusion from Sudanese public life. For Americans or Europeans, such de-humanization is expressed as, "They're Africans. They do these sorts of things to each other."
5. Rationalize the deaths as the result of tribal conflict, coming to the victims out of the inevitability of their history of relationships. Thus, the Sudanese Ambassador to the U.N. in a BBC interview on 11 September 2004 claimed that the deaths were just the result of age-old tribal conflicts between cattle herders (Arabs) and farmers (Africans). In fact, there were no such genocidal raids in Darfur until the Sudanese government armed the Janjaweed in early 2003 and used the Sudanese air-force to support them.
6. Blame "out of control" forces for committing the killings, distancing responsibility from the Sudanese government. The success of this tactic was demonstrated in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1556, which blames the killings on the Janjaweed militias and actually demands that the Sudanese government disarm the Janjaweed and bring their leaders to justice. In fact, it was the Sudanese government that armed the Janjaweed in the first place, and continues to protect them. Not one major Janjaweed leader has been arrested. Criminals already in jail for years have simply been renamed "Janjaweed," and sentenced for crimes they did not commit, punished by amputations under Sharia law.
7. Avoid antagonizing the genocidists, who might walk out of "the peace process." This real politik argument is used to frighten diplomats who fear "upsetting the peace process" in Naivasha for the south, or in Abuja for Darfur. In 2005 the argument has become: "don't upset the fragile new order in Khartoum since signature on the agreements settling the civil war in the South. Let's now concentrate on getting the Darfur 'rebels' to reach a similar agreement with Khartoum in Abuja, under the African Union." Meanwhile the ethnic cleansing of Darfur is nearly complete, and genocidal massacres and rapes continue daily. This argument, which diplomats repeatedly and naively espouse, ignores the fact that genocidists are serial killers. Policies toward them based on fear lead only to appeasement and further genocide.
8. Justify denial in favor of current economic interests. This is a key reason why Russia opposes an arms embargo on the Sudanese government. It has just sold twelve MIG-29's to Khartoum, and continues to be a major supplier of other arms. Besides being another arms supplier to Khartoum, China is a primary developer of southern Sudan's oilfields and imports Sudanese oil. China has threatened to veto U.N. sanctions.
9. Claim that the victims are receiving good treatment, while baldly denying the charges of genocide outright. The Sudanese government claims that the internally displaced are receiving excellent treatment in IDP camps, and will be even better off when they are moved to "safe areas" under complete Sudanese government control. The Sudanese show visitors the same "model" IDP camp, just as the Nazis showed the ICRC Theresienstadt. When Kofi Annan tried to visit another site, the Sudanese quickly evacuated it, leaving him to ask, "Where are the people?" [2005: When Annan interviewed rape survivors in Darfur, the Sudanese responded by arresting his interpreter the next day. The government also arrested the director of Medècins sans Frontières, Sudan the same day for publishing a well-documented report exposing widespread rapes by Sudanese soldiers and Janjaweed in and around IDP camps.]
The Special Representative of the Secretary General, Jan Pronk, has recently signed a Sudanese government proposal to create "safe areas" for the black Africans of Darfur, who will be "guarded" by the Sudanese army. Never forget that the U.N. also agreed to a "safe area" plan in Bosnia. Srebenica was a "safe area" where 8000 men were murdered in 1995 while Dutch soldiers stood by. Pronk was the Dutch Development Cooperation Minister in 1995 and he resigned only after a government study of the disaster seven years later. Now Pronk has recommended the same "safe areas solution" for Darfur. What is wrong with this picture?
10. Claim that what is going on doesn't fit the definition of genocide. "Definitionalist" denial is most common among lawyers and policy makers who want to avoid intervention beyond provision of humanitarian aid. It results in "analysis paralysis." It is what the State Department investigation and report brilliantly overcame. At the time of writing (September 2004), the European Union, the Secretary General of the United Nations and even Amnesty International still avoid calling the crimes in Darfur by their proper name. It is a pity. There are three reasons for such reluctance:
A. Among journalists, the general public, diplomats, and lawyers who haven't read the Genocide Convention, there is a common misconception that a finding of genocide would legally require action to suppress it. Under this misconception, having been informed that the U.S. would take no action in Rwanda in 1994, State Department lawyers ordered avoidance of the word. They made their legal conclusion fit the Procrustean bed of U.S. policy. They committed legal malpractice.
Unfortunately, the Genocide Convention carries no such legal compulsion to act. It legally requires only that states-parties pass national laws against genocide and then prosecute or extradite those who commit the crime. Article VIII of the Convention says they also "may call upon the competent organs of the United Nations to take such action under the Charter of the United Nations as they consider appropriate for the prevention and suppression of acts of genocide." But they aren't legally required to do so. Article I of the Genocide Convention creates a moral obligation to prevent genocide, but it does not dictate military intervention or any other particular measures.
B. Another misconception is the "all or none" concept of genocide. The all-or-none school considers killings to be genocide only if their intent is to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group "in whole." Their model is the Holocaust. They ignore the "in part" in the definition in the Genocide Convention, which they often haven't read.
C. Since the 1990's, a new obstacle to calling genocide by its proper name has been the distinction between genocide and "ethnic cleansing," a term originally invented as a euphemism for genocide in the Balkans. Genocide and "ethnic cleansing" are sometimes portrayed as mutually exclusive crimes, but they are not. Prof. Schabas, for example, says that the intent of "ethnic cleansing" is expulsion of a group, whereas the intent of "genocide" is its destruction, in whole or in part. He illustrates with a simplistic distinction: in "ethnic cleansing," borders are left open and a group is driven out; in "genocide," borders are closed and a group is killed. The fallacy of the distinction is evident in Darfur, where the intent of the Sudanese government and their Janjaweed militias is to drive Fur, Massaleit, and Zaghawa black African farmers off of their ancestral lands (ethnic cleansing,) using terror caused by systematic acts of genocide, including mass murder, mass rape, mass starvation, and concentration camps run by Janjaweed and Sudanese army guards, where murder and rape are standing orders. Both ethnic cleansing and genocide are underway in Darfur.
D. Claim that the "intent" of the perpetrator is merely "ethnic cleansing" not "genocide," which requires the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. The U.N. Commission of Experts report of 2005 took this way out. It confused motive with intent. (Ironically, the U.N. Commission report even included a paragraph saying motive and intent should not be confused, an exhortation the Commission promptly violated, itself.) Even if the motive of a perpetrator is to drive a group off its land ("ethnic cleansing"), killing members of the group and other acts enumerated in the Genocide Convention may still have the specific intent to destroy the group, in whole or in part. That's genocide.
11. Blame the victims. Claim that the Sudanese government is simply fighting an insurrection by a rebel movement comprised of bandits who themselves commit war crimes. By portraying the situation as civil war rather than genocide, the Sudanese appeal to the common misunderstanding that the two are mutually exclusive, when in fact, as Robert Melson, Barbara Harff, Helen Fein, and others have shown, civil war is very often a predictor and correlate of genocide. Genocide occurs especially during civil wars because war is legalized killing, when even women and children of an adversary group may be seen as enemies of the state.
12. Say that peace and reconciliation are more important than blaming people for genocide, especially if the genocide happened in the past. This is the justification for amnesties for mass murderers as part of peace agreements, and for opposition to post-conflict tribunals. But peace and reconciliation are not alternatives to justice. Lasting peace requires justice. Without prosecution of those who commit genocide, an expectation of impunity is created. As Fein and Harff have shown, one of the best predictors of future genocide is previous genocide that has gone unpunished. Without trials, denial becomes permanent.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: NuDate: Sunday, 24 January 1999, at 7:11 p.m.
In Response To: any b's with success stories? (CHRISTA)
I have had tremendous health benefits using the "membrane fluidizing cocktail" as a daily breakfast drink ( adding protein powder to make a complete meal). I have had NO flus, colds or other viral infections since, and I have a job that puts me in a lot of contact with the public. I used to get VERY sick with the flu at least 2-3 times a year, and had at least 5-6 colds. I also noticed a nice benefit to my skin, which used to be flaky in patches (esp. in winter, when the air is cold and dry) and somewhat rough and dry. Since using the "cocktail", my skin has become very smooth and supple, and I no longer use face or hand creams (don't need to). I believe the flax seed oil is largely the cause (prior to this I was trying to lose weight on a low fat diet without much success).
I have still not lost much weight on the "B" diet, though. Portion control is also very important for weight regulation. NU

Cowboys & Aliens Universal Studios Rated PG-13 Now Showing at: most major theaters. Review by: Larry Thomas Hollywood seems to have a knack of turning success into excess. Take Jon Favreau for example. He transitioned nicely from actor to director, and got to take well-earned bows for both of the Irom Man epics. Unfortunately, kudos will not likely follow for his third effort Cowboys and Aliens. This incoherent, howling-dog mess of a movie is hard to assimilate, and even harder to find someone to like among the characters. It's a perfect example of too many chefs adding a different ingredient to a stew. There are four credits for screen story, five credits for screenplay, and sixteen credited producers, be they assistant, associate, executive, or whatever, including both Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg. Although the title tells you the plot, Cowboys and Aliens is like two separate films spliced together. It had the makings of just a good western, but when you get to the aliens it just gets silly. The aliens look like Transformers covered with chewed Gummy Bears. They drag their knuckles when they walk, and though they possess intelligence enough to fly their spacecraft to earth, they have no comprehension of English, or any other language. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the nine credited writers stoop to using every western cliché in both dialogue and situation that have galloped across the screen for a hundred years. I was tempted to laugh out loud at some of these stale chestnuts, but was so miserable sitting there it wasn't worth the effort. I really wanted to like this film. I love westerns, the cast is capable, it generally looks good on screen, and, while the score by Harry Gregson-Williams isn't great, it's western-ish enough to be ok. Daniel Craig is a cowboy with amnesia and a strange bracelet strapped on his wrist, but he's still in James Bond mode. Harrison Ford plays a cranky old cattle baron with a weakling son. And Paul Dano, who was so annoying in There Will Be Blood, has not improved since that film. He's like fingernails on a blackboard every time he opens his mouth. Supporting players are better. Olivia Wilde is the mysterious lady of the story. Some great character actors like Keith Carradine, Sam Rockwell, and Urbana, Ohio, native Clancy Brown do their usual fine work in brief scenes. As the film crawls to its obvious conclusion, and you start wondering why there are no Indians in this western… here come the Indians. There could have been a good film in here if given the proper treatment, like maybe with Clint Eastwood as star and director, with Matt Damon along for the ride. Or there could have been a good film in here if Mel Brooks, Blazing Saddles-style, lampooned it. Too bad he wouldn't have been able to make a Cowboys and Aliens with Gabby Hayes and Lady Gaga. But what's here is turgid and pretty well unbearable. Find yourself something better to watch. The PG-13 rated Cowboys and Aliens is now showing everywhere.

OK. So I haven't had the time to get new clothes since last summer, and I only have a few T-shirts, no shorts, and an ancient bathing suit. I needed a new suit especially badly because I wanted to go swimming the next day, and so on the Monday before my last exam my dad dragged me into a store.
Sometimes I actually do like shopping, but that day I was still upset from feeling like I had screwed myself over by not deciding to go to a private arts school next year, and I was pretty vulnerable. Bathing suit shopping is a bad idea when you're vulnerable, and a worse idea when you're with your dad and four-year-old brother.
From my vantage point at the store's front door, I didn't like the look of any of the suits. I threw my dad a look and started flipping through the rack of one pieces. I didn't want to wear a bikini--it only works on flat-chested stick figures that don't want to risk swimming. I guess it was mostly because I didn't want to look slutty and I didn't want people to laugh at my horrible-lookingness.
Bright blue and black floral print, lime green and yellow stripes, a plain blue suit just like the one at home. I'm ready to start crying again, and my dad looks at me, smiles a bit, and says nothing.
The saleslady comes up to me. "Can I help you?"
"I'm fine, thanks." Lovely. Bright purple. I walk over to the tankinis, and she follows.
My dad looks from me to her, says, "Sure."
"Yeah, okay," I mumble. She's tall, skinny, small-chested, and blond, wearing a white fitted shirt and purple pants. She grins white teeth at me.
"So do you want a one-piece? Bikini?" She looks me up and down. My jeans are stained, holey, and I'm wearing a T-shirt from camp with stars drawn on it. "A one-piece."
We just went through this, I think as we walk back to sort through the black plain nylon.
"Whatever." I shrug at her, smiling, my eyes almost water.
"Well, a tankini, then?" The suits over there are either a brownish green or tye-dyed fairy blue colors.
She holds up a pair held together by curly strings. I look up at her. "Do you think I could get one with straps? I'd kind of like it to stay on when I go in the water."
"Oh, you want to go swimming, then? Good for you." Lacy white tankini? I shake my head. That airy tye-dye mess? I almost smile.
"Well, what about..." She scans the rack, and I think, but I'm a boy.
What? Where did that come from? An image of me in boxery bathing suit comes to my head--running around, free, low voice, laughing on the sand. Huh.
I grab a one-piece off the rack, and the lady shoves a few more through the curtain of my changing room (Festively titled Arruba!).
The saleslady's selection is woefully low-cut, and the bright purple wrinkles on me. I already have a plain suit, anyway. I wanted something different. I imagine a hippie-ish one-piece in reddish-orange India pringt, me laughing in the sun as I race down the beach. That wouldn't be so bad. I don't think they sell those here, though.
With that last vision, I strip off the suit I'm wearing and stumble into my clueless-nerd clothes. It might not look it, lady, but I'm smart. And I'm not usually this insecure. I now how to dress myself, thank you very much, and it will not be in pastel tye-dye.
A few more minutes of attempted coercion as I flip through the beach shirts and skirts--that one would look good on Alyssa, but not me--I have managed to convince both my dad and the saleslady that I am not going to buy anything. We leave.
When we stop in the ice-cream shop to placate my brother, I can't hold it in any longer and I cry into my dad's shirt. He rubs my back and holds me as some young teenage boys stare while looking at their pockets. And I don't know really what's wrong--school is almost over, after all, and I do have a lot of good in my life--except that I just may have turned down the only school of people who know what I'm feeling, and I can't even buy a bathing suit after four years of procrastination and frayed straps.
to love me is like suicide...
I ditto what unsure pixie said.
I feel you.
Sometimes it gets hard to see who you are when you're busy seeing what everyone else does
I'm sorry. I also decided not to go to an arts school next year-- it was a depressing decision. At least I've got a halfway-decent swimsuit... I hope things get better.
Interesting account of a sad but curious experience. It's good to see you writing; bad to see you hurting.
But you know, you're going to glean valuable experiences in whatever educational setting you choose, whether it's a private arts school or not. You may run into some things at the public school that you'll thank god (and yourself) that you made the decision you made. And you're a good writer regardless. You didn't need that school to make you brilliant. :-)

The Center for Sustainability Studies (CSS) was created at Kean University in 2011. It represents Kean Universitys expanding commitment to transforming lives by providing world-class education. The mission of the CSS is to provide students with an extraordinary educational experience necessary to understand and confront contemporary issues best examined and addressed by sustainability sciences.
The B.S. in Sustainability Science, the only degree of its kind in New Jersey and one of only a dozen degree programs in the nation with such a focus. The mission of this program is to prepare students in the emerging discipline of sustainability science that focuses in three main areas: environment, economy, and society. It is designed to prepare students to understand four specific questions:
- What are the unique characteristics of Earth that have allowed life to develop and to flourish to the extent that it has?
- What specific human actions are compromising the unique characteristics?
- Why are these human actions occurring?
- With an understanding of 1, 2, and 3, what corrective actions are necessary?
Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources . A great change in our stewardship of the Earth and the life on it is required .
According to over 1,700 scientists who signed the World Scientists Warning to Humanity in 1992, Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources . A great change in our stewardship of the Earth and the life on it is required . The Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health warned in 2000 that In the past decade in every environmental sector, conditions have either failed to improve, or they are worsening . In 2005, nearly 1,400 scientists from 95 countries wrote in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, Over the past 50 years, humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history . The CSS serves the citizens of the world by preparing the next generation of leaders who will be compelled to address such critical issues.

Christmas came and went as quickly as it always does, and what were we left with? A blizzard, it would seem. Now I am left with a whole lot of free time, and not a lot to do. Sleeping gets old.
So far this morning I've read about the history of wine (becoming an effete is no small feat, and requires training…plus the book was a gift to me dad, and since he can't get to it yet, I thought I'd review the book first). I also watched "La Strada," a heart-wrenching movie from Federico Fellino that left me yearning for those "good ol' days" when movies were made with intellect and heart. And only one car blew up, which would be way below the average of today's movies.
If you're wondering what to do during this time of the year, read my article here, that gives the youth of today a new way to get into the spirit of winter break without partaking in old-timey traditions. Who even knows how to roast chestnuts on an open fire? Doesn't that sound dangerous?
