Jewish terrorist document found

Sunday, July 20, 2008
A document has surfaced in a UK auction, unveiling terrorist activities of a Jewish group prior to the establishment of the Israeli regime.
According to the Times of London, the pamphlet unveils several terrorist activities of a Jewish underground group — Irgun — led by Menachem Begin, the future Israeli prime minister.
Bombings and murders by underground groups in Palestine, such as Begin's Irgun, hastened the British withdrawal and the United Nations declaration that led to the founding of Israel.
(Article continues below)
The document is addressed to "the soldiers of the occupation army" and aimed at British soldiers serving in Palestine, then under the British Mandate, preceding the establishment of Israel in 1948.
The pamphlet explicitly warns Britons to leave the Middle East or face death.
It says, "Most of you have been in this country for quite a long time. You have learned what the word 'terrorist' means, some of you may even have come into direct contact with them (and heartily desire not to repeat the experience)."
The document was unearthed from a grove of trees in Palestine in 1947.
After the mass killing of 91 British soldiers and civilians in a bomb attack at King David Hotel in al-Quds (Jerusalem) in 1946, Irgun warned, "It is unavoidable that many Jewish soldiers and many British soldiers should fall."
The pamphlet, which is expected to fetch about £500, goes on sale at Mullock's, in Shropshire, on August 6.

A sasanqua flower folded from a 15×15 square piece of paper. This was harder to fold than the little crane made by a 6×6mm paper, but easier to photograph.

View Full ProfileExcellent capture my friend! Lovely folded flower! If it is color paper you can do a Selective color then the composition would be more active! Lovely texture on your fingers! You have a lot of patience for detail works!
Thanks my friend. It isn't perfect, but neither are real flowers :P
– Mui-Ling Teh
this is exquisite Mui-Ling
what patience you have
do you have a special display for them? i think that
they would look beautiful on glass or mirrored glass so you can see them from all angles
That a good idea Karin. Sadly enough I only have containers to store these. I have done a lot of craft throuhout my life that my dad gets annoyed at me being a pack rat and tells me to get rid of some of my stuff. I once had a sailboat I made during high school, and I kept it in the family room. Then I began university and studied in another town. When first year was over, I noticed the boat was not in the family room anymore. When I asked my dad where it was, he was like "I don't know"; I think he threw it away :( If I could afford the extra storage I wouldn't have to worry about what would happen to the things I made and the paintings I paint…

Wonderful Mui-Ling.
Thank you Carlos

I am a huge fan of origami and I have tried mini origami, but never anything that small. Simply amazing!
Thank you Rowan. I haven't mentioned it in this description because I've stated it im my other mini origami shots, but I used tweezers while folding. Maybe not so much in "Born from the hand" as that crane wasn't that small, though the smallest crane I barely touched with my fingers at all.
– Mui-Ling Teh
wow, it's just as well these are tiny then Mui-Ling!!!!! lol
dad's/men…..they just don't understand :(
lol true true…
– Mui-Ling Teh
That's amazing!
An art like this, has to be appreciated. I have things that my kids made for me since they were 3-4 yrs. old. Treasures.
But, like Karin said, men they are different in that way.
Thanks Gail. But atleast there are some kind gentlemen on RB who leave nice comments on my origami.
– Mui-Ling Teh
Excellent this must be really difficult to do ,it is just amazing.
Thank you :) Yeah this one was more difficult than the cranes.
– Mui-Ling Teh
my goodness Mui-Ling! you rock!!!
was this done with your twisters again? you are so paitient to do this delicate work :)))))))
Yup I did use tweezers again! Thanks for the comment :)
– Mui-Ling Teh
I had to use tweezers to finish one about the size of "Born from the Hand". There is no shame in that , I guess. Happy folding!
OMG, NO WAY!!! wow Mui-Ling, you are amazing
Thank you Tahnja :)

So REACH, Butler's diversity organization, sponsored a free trip to Chicago to the first 25 students to sign up and luckily I was one of them! The trip was to see a play called "Mary" at the Goodman Theatre. We left at campus at 10 am and got back at 10 pm. It was definitely a full day!
When we got to Chicago, we had an hour and a half to explore on our own before the play started so a group of us all went to get lunch. I had Chinese food which was delicious to say the least!
After this, we all went to see the play which I also loved. It did a great job portraying real-life gender and racial issues facing Americans. It had its serious moments and it also had its funny moments. I would not mind seeing it again!
After the play, we ended the day by going to Giordano's Pizzeria which was also paid for. I'm from the Chicago area so I've had it before but it tastes better with each bite! I even had four slices left over to bring home.
When we got back to campus, I went to my dorm room and decided to unwind by laying down and browsing the Internet. In doing this, I decided to make a Tumblr! I recently deleted my Facebook because I got bored with it so this is a really nice substitute with my time! Along with Twitter, I feel like I've now covered all the important social networking sites.
That's all for today! Feel free to leave a comment and thanks for visiting my blog!

That Old College Lie
Are our colleges teaching students well? No. But here's how to make them.
Claiborne Pell died at age 90 on January 1, 2009. In the weeks that followed, the former Democratic senator from Rhode Island was lauded for his many achievements, but one stood out: The first sentence of Pell's obituary in The New York Times cited "the college grant program that bears his name." Pell Grants are the quintessential progressive policy, dedicated to helping low-income students cross into the promised land of opportunity and higher education. "That is a legacy," said Joe Biden, "that will live on for generations to come."
What the encomiums to Pell failed to mention is that his grants have been, in all the ways that matter most, a failure. As any parent can tell you, colleges are increasingly unaffordable. Students are borrowing at record levels and loan default rates are rising. More and more low-income students are getting priced out of higher education altogether. The numbers are stark: When Pell grants were named for the senator in 1980, a typical public four-year university cost $2,551 annually. Pell Grants provided $1,750, almost 70 percent of the total. Even private colleges cost only about $5,600 back then. Low-income students could matriculate with little fear of financial hardship, as Pell intended. Over the next three decades, Congress poured vast sums into the program, increasing annual funding from $2 billion to nearly $20 billion. Yet today, Pell Grants cover only 33 percent of the cost of attending a public university. Why? Because prices have increased nearly 500 percent since 1980. Average private college costs, meanwhile, rose to over $34,000 per year.
But the biggest problem with American higher education isn't that too many students can't afford to enroll. It's that too many of the students who do enroll aren't learning very much and aren't earning degrees. For the average student, college isn't nearly as good a deal as colleges would have us believe.
Pell Grants do nothing to address that problem. Low-income students are increasingly forced to attend inexpensive but under-resourced, non-selective universities and community colleges, where student results are often astoundingly bad. The average graduation rate at four-year colleges in the bottom half of the Barron's taxonomy of admissions selectivity is only 45 percent. And that's just the average–at scores of colleges, graduation rates are below 30 percent, and wide disparities persist for students of color. Along with community colleges, where only one in three students earns a degree, these low-performing institutions educate the large majority of Pell Grant recipients. Less than 40 percent of low-income students who start college get a degree of any kind within six years.
Some might argue that colleges are just enforcing academic standards by refusing to graduate unprepared students. But the evidence suggests otherwise. A 2006 study from the American Institutes for Research found that only 31 percent of adults with bachelor's degrees are proficient in "prose literacy"–being able to compare and contrast two newspaper editorials, for example. More than a quarter have math skills so feeble that they can't calculate the cost of ordering supplies from a catalogue.
Why is the quality question so obscure, when the cost question is so well-known? In part because it has been masked by the American higher education system's unchallenged reputation as the best in the world. Unfortunately for the average collegian, this notion is entirely driven by the top 10 percent of institutions and the students who attend them–Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and the like. Much of the rest is a sea of mediocrity, or worse.
But the biggest culprit is the lack of objective, publicly available information about how well colleges teach and how much college students learn. Nobody knows which colleges really do the best job of taking the students they enroll and helping them learn over the course of four years. After decades of inaction, some recent efforts have been undertaken to collect that information: It now exists, but colleges and their powerful (and virtually unknown) lobbies will not permit the public to see it. As a result, colleges are far less focused on student learning than they should be, and consumers haven't a clue what to do and have come to believe, mistakenly, that the most expensive colleges are also the best.
In their myopic attention to student financial aid, in their total indifference to price and quality, Pell Grants symbolize the larger failure of progressive higher education policy. Pell's heart was in the right place. But by focusing only on helping the needy–the worthiest of instincts–progressives have ignored the larger issues that are driving runaway price increases and rampant neglect of student learning.
There's a solution to these problems, but it won't come from more tinkering with student aid programs. The key to giving students a better, more affordable education turns out to be focusing less on college financial aid and more on college itself. We must fundamentally change the relationship between the federal government and higher education, forcing institutions that receive vast amounts of public funding to provide a modicum of useful information in return. The time has come to rip open the veil of secrecy that has shrouded higher education for as long as students have walked next to ivy-covered walls, and to use that information to build far more effective, more egalitarian, and more student-focused colleges than we have today.
The Secular Church
Colleges are often lumped in with other non-profit entities like charities and hospitals in the public mind. But they actually most resemble the institution from which many of the oldest and most renowned colleges sprang: organized religion. Like the church, colleges have roots that pre-date the founding of the republic. They see themselves as occupying an exalted place in human society, for which they are owed deference and gratitude. They cherish their priests and mysteries, and they are disinclined to subject either to public scrutiny.
This was a tolerable state of affairs for the first 150 years or so of the nation's existence. Initially, the federal government left higher education to the states, which in turn liberally granted charters to sectarian colleges and universities. College was mostly reserved for the sons of privilege–at the turn of the twentieth century, only 240,000 collegians were enrolled nationwide. While that number had grown to 1.5 million by the eve of World War II, it was still only 1.1 percent of the total population.
But the postwar social reordering changed higher education profoundly. Returning soldiers flooded campuses using money from the G.I. Bill. Middle-class prosperity brought status anxiety and aspiration to match. The emancipation of women and minorities created new classes of students, while the erosion of well-paying manufacturing jobs drove more young people to earn degrees. Today there are 18 million college students, a sixteen-fold increase since 1900 relative to the population as a whole.
This created an obvious challenge: All those new students had to go somewhere. The existing network of elite institutions had little desire to open their doors to the masses. So policymakers, mostly at the state level, made a historic–and in retrospect, deeply flawed–decision. They stamped out hundreds of copies of the standard university model. Teacher's colleges were converted into regional universities. Branch campuses opened up with compass point suffixes describing their proximity to the mother ship. Big states like New York and California built whole university systems from scratch.
Even this wasn't enough to handle the tide of new undergraduates. An additional layer of community colleges was built, many in Sun Belt states where in-migration and population growth were most acute. While these two-year public institutions didn't offer advanced graduate programs in particle physics or produce bowl-winning football teams, they were still unmistakably colleges, firmly in the realm of higher education.
Each of these new institutions faced a question of identity. How should they act? Who should they be? Naturally, they looked to the original colleges that shaped the mold. And without exception, those institutions offered two core lessons. First, they taught that status in higher education is derived from wealth and selectivity–the most renowned institutions have gigantic piles of money and allow only the "best" students to attend. Second, they insisted that questions of quality, particularly as they relate to what students are taught and how much they learn, are nobody's business but the institution's own. This position was derived from the principle of academic freedom, a tremendously important and necessary idea when it comes to protecting controversial scholarship. Unfortunately, it was extended to the student side of the equation–colleges demanded freedom to teach as well or poorly as they pleased. Thus, any attempt by the government to inquire about academic matters was resisted at all costs.
The new colleges and universities took these values to heart. As a result, the customers, donors, and governments that finance America's allegedly world-beating institutions know remarkably little about whether individual colleges and universities are any good at the single most important thing they do: helping students learn.
American colleges grant more than 300,000 bachelor's degrees in business every year. Whose graduates are most successful in business? There are anecdotes, but no available, comparable data. Nobody really knows. Which teacher education program best prepares candidates to excel in the classroom? Nobody knows. Nearly every college teaches introductory courses like calculus and English. Where are the best calculus and English professors? Who is most successful in preparing students for law and medical schools? Whose graduates make unusual contributions to philanthropy and the arts? Who teaches writing well, given the academic preparation of the students they enroll? Who teaches anything well? Nobody knows.
How College Is Like Prada
The near-total lack of useful information about teaching and learning has three main effects, all bad for students. First, it creates distortions in the higher-education market that drive up prices. Second, it gives colleges free rein to ignore their teaching obligations in favor of a mad contest for status and self-gratification. Third, it leaves colleges that serve the most disadvantaged students with the fewest resources.
The information deficit turns college into what economists call a "reputational good." If you go to the store and buy a shirt, you can learn pretty much everything you need to know before you buy it: the material, where it was made, how to clean it, and so on. College is different. You're paying up-front for professors you've never met and degree programs you probably haven't even chosen yet. Instead, you rely on what other people think of the college. Of course, some students simply have to go the college that's nearest to them or least expensive. But if you have the luxury of choosing, in all likelihood, you choose based on reputation.
If college reputations were based on objective, publicly available measures of student learning, that would be okay. But they're not, because no such measurements exist. Instead, reputations are largely based on wealth, admissions selectivity, price, and a generalized sense of fame that is highly influenced by who's been around the longest and who produces the most research. Not coincidentally, these are the factors that drive the influential U.S. News & World Report rankings that always rate old, wealthy, renowned institutions like Harvard and Princeton as America's best colleges.
The influence of reputation is exacerbated by the fact that most colleges are non-profit. For-profit institutions succeed by maximizing the difference between revenues and expenditures. While they have strong incentives to get more money, they also have strong incentives to spend less money, by operating in the most efficient manner possible. Non-profit colleges aren't profit-maximizing; they are reputation-maximizing. And reputations are expensive to buy.
The economist Howard Bowen wrote the classic treatise on how reputation-seeking influences university behavior. He called it the "revenue-to-cost" phenomenon. Essentially, colleges don't figure out how much money they need to spend and then go get it. Instead, they get as much money as they can and then spend it. Since reputations are relational–the goal is to be better than the other guy–there is no practical limit on how much colleges can spend in pursuit of self-glorification. As former Harvard President Derek Bok wrote, "Universities share one characteristic with compulsive gamblers and exiled royalty: There is never enough money to satisfy their desires." Inevitably, much of that money comes from students.
The information deficit rewards and sustains these inclinations. In the absence of independent information about quality, consumers assume that price and quality are the same thing. At the trend-setting high end of the market, higher education has become a luxury good, the educational equivalent of a Prada shoe. These are unusually nice shoes, of course, just as Harvard is an unusually good university. But in both cases consumers aren't paying for quality alone–they're also paying extra for scarcity and a prominent brand name, the primary value of which is to signal to the rest of the world that they're rich and connected enough to pay the price.
While most colleges aren't in Harvard's league and never will be, they pay attention to industry leaders. Luxury schools set standards for faculty salaries, student amenities, and other expensive things that ripple through the higher education sector as a whole. The status-seeking mindset is infectious. Colleges all want to become more important, and they all know how to get there–spend and charge more.
Indeed, they have little choice. Ten percent of the U.S. News rankings are based on spending per student, with additional points for high faculty salaries and other costly items. If an innovative college found a way to become more efficient and charge less while maintaining academic quality, its U.S. News ranking would actually go down. Public colleges, which most students attend, also get direct government subsidies to keep prices artificially low. So even community colleges and less selective universities that aren't fighting tooth and claw for students can jack up tuition to do things like reduce faculty workload and increase administrative pay.

Really a very good analysis. Thank you.
One more argument: the American university system is one of reference for all the World, and now the European Union are copying some of the worst features: while we've quality system controls, they are overscoring the top universities, also; so the bottom ones are always underscored.
The writer's criticisms are not without foundation. There are many problems with higher education in the USA and we should work hard to improve our system.
The writer overlooks the fact that many people who go to college are not really college material and will not perform well academically regardless of where they go. Many students are more cut out to study as a tradesperson or enter an apprenticeship. The populist drives for 'universal college education' are wrong-headed. One needs only review the history of City College in NYC or the university system in France to see how well these programs work.
The system of higher education in the USA is without question, for all of its faults the best in the world. No country is as egalitarian in its admission standards. No country offers the avenues for self-improvement that the US educational system does.
@ Sacrifice
You might want to read an article written by William Deresiewicz;
Unfortunately, knowledge isn't something you can buy by/with/from? money. You have to do something to get it. But if your brain is occupied with sorrows about 1000s of Dollars of debts, you won't be able to focus your thinking on your homework. To do some brain work you must be free of other, maybe existential, problems.
Let me mention Darwin and Einstein. Both were free of financial problems when they made their discoveries. They had a safe job, or, in case of Darwin, a rich daddy. They had the necessary intellectual freedom to do research.
Knowledge is some sort of culture, and culture only can flourish if you haven't to struggle with other things.
Education has become a business of money not what can or should be learned.

49ers-Cardinals Monday night six-pack
November, 27, 2010
Mike Sando | ESPN.com
AP PhotoThe season hasn't gone to plan for Ken Whisenhunt or Mike Singletary, but the winner of their Monday night matchup keeps his slim playoff hopes alive.
"Monday Night Football" showcases NFL royalty when the New England Patriots and New York Jets put their 9-2 records on the line in Week 13.
The Week 12 undercard between the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals looks more like an unsanctioned alley fight. Both teams are 3-7 and suitably desperate. The loser of this matchup between one-time NFC West favorites could be finished.
Alas, viewers might need a six-pack to get them through this motley Monday night matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Six potential points of interest:
1. Mike Singletary could implode at any time.
The last time the 49ers played in prime time (against Philadelphia in Week 5), their head coach ripped into Alex Smith on the sideline after the quarterback served up a crushing turnover.
Singletary sent backup David Carr onto the field. Tight end Vernon Davis implored Smith to fight back. Smith argued his case to Singletary with unexpected passion. Singletary backed down, sending Smith back into the huddle. The 49ers rallied and nearly won the game.
The sideline spectacle made for compelling theater, even if the on-field product wasn't particularly satisfying. The 49ers are 3-2 since that defeat, but the pressure on Singletary grew considerably after a 21-0 home defeat to Tampa Bay last week.
2. Big plays will happen one way or another.
[+] Enlarge
AP Photo/Andy BlenkushLaRod Stephens-Howling has been dangerous on special teams, returning two kicks for TDs.
Arizona also emerged from Week 11 having allowed more points per game than any team in the league. The Cardinals had allowed 19 pass plays of at least 30 yards, tied for the NFL high. They had allowed 12 rushing plays of at least 20 yards, the second-highest total in the league (Frank Gore, anyone?).
The 49ers flashed big-play ability through the air with Troy Smith at quarterback until the Tampa Bay game. But their offensive line has been struggling, and Troy Smith was fortunate to finish the Bucs game with only one interception.
The Cardinals' aggressive, hit-or-miss defense could confuse Smith or free him to feed a steady stream of downfield throws to Davis, Delanie Walker, Michael Crabtree, etc. It could do both, actually.
3. Where else can one see Shaun Hill and Matt Leinart highlights?
The 49ers traded Hill to Detroit because they thought Alex Smith was on his way and Carr would provide a talent upgrade in the No. 2 role.
Hill has eight touchdowns and four interceptions in his last five starts.
ESPN's producers will presumably have the highlights ready if/when Troy Smith falters. They'll have to dig deeper into the archives to find Leinart's finest NFL moments, but we could see those, too, if current Cardinals starter Derek Anderson wilts under the prime-time spotlight.
Hill wasn't the long-term answer in San Francisco. Leinart, who signed with Houston after Arizona released him, probably wasn't the solution, either.
But it's not as though their former teams have necessarily upgraded, either.
4. If nothing else, watch Patrick Willis and Justin Smith.
The 49ers' best defensive players appear to be gaining momentum as the season progresses.
Watch Willis and you'll find the football soon enough. He's a brutally efficient tackler with pass-rush ability (two sacks in Week 11) and a mean streak. Receivers catching short passes over the middle are at risk.
Smith is making his 150th consecutive start. He leads the 49ers with five sacks and has often given the Cardinals serious problems. Arizona has new personnel on the left side of its offensive line, affecting the matchups. Keep an eye on Smith early to see whether it matters.
5. The Larry Fitzgerald matchup.
[+] Enlarge
Jed Jacobsohn/Getty ImagesNate Clements and the 49ers' secondary have generally kept Larry Fitzgerald in check in recent seasons.
The difference?
It's hard to say definitively. Fitzgerald seemingly should have become a bigger threat once Kurt Warner took over as quarterback for two-plus seasons beginning in 2007.
The statistical nosedive coincided with cornerback Nate Clements' signing in San Francisco before the 2007 season. Clements' strength and physical style can make him a tough draw for Fitzgerald. He has generally held up well in their matchups.
Fitzgerald has 20 catches for 288 yards over the Cardinals' last three games.
6. Marquess of Queensberry rules might not apply.
These teams do not get along. It would not be a surprise if the NFL hands down a couple of fines afterward.
Fierce on-field battles between the 49ers' Davis and Cardinals strong safety Adrian Wilson have spilled over into the media, with Arizona defensive lineman Darnell Dockett egging them on. The Cardinals have added another brash persona in outside linebacker Joey Porter.
It's a potentially volatile mix, particularly with both teams perched on the brink.
At least Singletary is there to keep everyone on an even keel.

Watch a clip of Del Toro discussing Alfred Hitchcock It's a beautiful thing to see a great director discuss one of the greatest directors in all of filmdom, and to do so as eloquently as Guillermo Del Toro always manages to be. This is a clip from the DVD/Blu-ray extra of Criteron's release of Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, a landmark film from the master of suspense himself. Of course, Hitchcock was a master of more than just suspense, and that is part of what Del Toro discusses here. Sadly, it is just snippet of the full feature, but fortunately for you the DVD/Blu-ray has hit shelves this very day and I'm sure that as you read those words you jumped up from your seat, sending your laptop crashing to the floor without a second thought, and ran out to the nearest retailer to pick up a copy for yourself. I don't even know why I'm bothering to continue typing, knowing that you readers are such studious fans of film. Well, if only to amuse myself I suppose. [via Indiewire] Comments not appearing?

Having holidayed in Provence we have stayed in a variety of gites and houses. These experiences, some good some less so, inspired us to create something special for our guests. Enticed by the beauty of this region and French way of life we settled in St Saturnin Les Apt in 2006.
St Saturnin Les Apt is one of the few unspoilt hillside villages in the Luberon, Provence, just 7 kilometres from Apt and close to Bonnieux and Gordes. The historic towns of Avignon and Aix en Provence are about 45 minutes away by road.
We have created a variety of accommodation to suit single people, couples and families. All the properties enjoy a superb view of the Luberon, are equipped to ensure a very comfortable holiday and are within walking distance of the village.

Case Closed Detective Conan Cameo
Posted in Manga News on April 15, 2009 by JohannaFans of Case Closed and its hero, Detective Conan, may want to check out the upcoming Hayate the Combat Butler Book 11.
The first chapter of this installment of the comedy manga is titled "© Gosho Aoyama", who's the author of Case Closed. After watching an episode of the detective's cartoon show, the characters talk about how much they'd like to meet Conan-Kun. Suddenly, they're part of a murder case at a deserted mountain lodge in a snowstorm. Of course, they don't take it seriously. Oh, and it's also a Christmas story.

The ABA is transitioning to a new assessment program that will complement the movement of the Accreditation Council of Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME) toward competency-based training and promotion.
Rather than taking the Part 1 Examination at the conclusion of residency, ABA candidates who will complete residency training on or after June 30, 2016
will take a staged Part 1 Examination that will consist of two separate examinations. The first of these examinations,
the BASIC Examination, will be offered beginning in July 2014. It will be followed by the ADVANCED Examination after the conclusion of residency training in 2016.
The ABA's current Part 2 (Oral) Examination will become the APPLIED Examination. Beginning in 2017, its content and format will change
to include elements of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) in addition to the traditional oral examination questions.
WINTER 2015 BASIC Examination |
Examination Dates | January 10, 2015 |
Registration | Sept. 22 – Nov. 30, 2014 |
*Late Registration | Dec. 1 – 26, 2014 |
SUMMER 2015 BASIC Examination |
Examination Dates | June 12 - 13, 2015 |
Registration | March 1 – May 31, 2015 |
*Late Registration | June 1 – July 13, 2015 |
*There is an additional $500 fee for any registration submitted during the late registration period.
Staged examination fees will be due upon examination registration. There will be no application fees.
Total fees due for staged examinations are the same as those for the current primary examination system. There is a $200 cancellation fee to cancel an examination appointment. The fee must accompany a candidate's cancellation letter.
The BASIC Examination will focus on the scientific basis of clinical anesthetic practice and will concentrate on content areas such as pharmacology, physiology, anatomy, anesthesia equipment and monitoring. |
The ADVANCED Examination will primarily focus
on clinical aspects of anesthetic practice
and will emphasize |
In the new staged exam system, the current Part 2 (Oral) Exam will become the APPLIED Examination. Its content and format will change to include elements of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) in addition to the oral examination questions. |
The ABA has moved to an electronic administration of the In-Training Examination (ITE) as part of the transition to the staged examination system. This allows the ITE to accurately reflect the format and content of the Part 1, BASIC and ADVANCED Examinations.
The 2014 ITE will be administered at residency training programs on February 20 - 24, 2014. Please visit the In-Training Examination section of the Examinations & Certifications page for more information and previous examinations and answer keys.
General Information for Training Programs |
The following information is now available in PDF format for training programs and residents.

I am getting more into rendering (which is funny since I didn't render any of the images below) and just general design these days so I will ask for one...from one of you guys/gals. This request is for Violent, -ryo- or Sazuka only...nothing against the rest of you just who I want
I would like a 500x115 sig with matching avatar using one of these images (pre-rendered for you):
Edit: *removed image links*
I would like a "darker" theme which doesn't necessarily mean dark colors however I will leave it up to your capable hands given you can see the pics and can use your artist gut feeling from there to know what to do.
Text is up to you as long as your don't put my name or the name of the character/series on there...but a quote would be nice.
I would give more direction but then I would just make it myself...I want something I didn't make so up to your discretion!

Stream When Saints Go Machine's Black-and-Blue 'Iodine'
Danish quartet's 'Infinity Pool' LP due May 28 on !K7
Danish electro-poppers When Saints Go Machine scored their own little blockbuster with "Love and Respect," the menacing lead single off the band's upcoming album, Infinity Pool. Now the Copenhagen foursome have shared a second track from their follow-up to 2011's Konkylie, "Iodine." Like "Love and Respect," "Iodine" blends soulful, warped vocals with an off-kilter, cinematic groove, but unlike its predecessor, "Iodine" sounds like a wounded plea, not a knuckle-cracking threat. On this one, When Saints Go Machine aren't doling out the bruises; they're recovering from them.

Anytime my team can't take and/or hold top, i tend to tell my team to just help bot and defend our mid and bottom from getting back-capped. Reasons for not being able to hold top could be bad team comps, no teamwork, or just bad players or a combination of any of these. It happens to everyone. But alot of games when i see the enemy team rush top and take it , and i know that we have been losing top alot, i tend to help my bot laner take their bot and depending on how good he is, we can defend vs 3 enemies giving us a chance to retake top. One game, Me(Orianna) and a Diana defended vs 3-4 enemies for 250 points straight. It got so bad for the enemy team that they just gave up bot and went somewhere else. Usually in close games it can be risky to push to their mid when you have top and bot already. Its usually best to just hold or have a coordinated gank in the jungles. I think thats how bot should be treated whenever you can't take top. Bot laner should be helped and it should be treated as if it were top. Obviously the only problem is that its close to the enemy base but it can make for a nice choke point which i have done personally many times. Screenshot provided so theres no confusion :
Welcome to dominion!
The best bet is to hold your mid,top,and bot and just defend those. Don't be risky to take out other points when you have all you need. You can wait near the speed shrine or the brush above storm shield to react to wherever they go.
Not saying that holding top is bad..its just when some teams keep going top when they cant take it and their Bot laner is wrecking bot, its just better to help him so you hold it as long as possible while defending mid and bot from being backcapped. If you kill enough of them , then taking top is ok. Sometimes this doesnt work..but ive been in many games where we carried our team by doing this at bot.
more like common sense, if i see that you cant take top i'll start all out agressiveness at bot, it usually draws ones or two teammates attention into helping getting bot also, i dont exactly defend that bot, rather delay the cap until we have top i've managed to win one or two games by neutralizing their bot and just keeping it neutral, if tp lane is gotten while i'm delaying their bot then i just let them recap their bor go base and buy and start bot laning again.
Pushing bot/ganking when top is a no-go can be extremely effective, especially if it allows your team to get control of the jungle while 2+ of the opposition sit on top wondering where everyone is. It gives you number advantages which is key to cap/neutralize other towers safely. Unfortunately, communication is usually a problem and a lot of players only use chat for flaming others.
Ryzol Ryzo Ryz R
The other common option when you don't hold top is to back cap mid with your team waiting in ambush at the speed shrine.
That can work but can be risky if 3-4 enemies are alive unless you know where they are. And when your bot laner capped their bot lane and is getting 1v2'ed its good to help defend him so you dont lose it. This forces them to send 2-3 bot and then top has an advantage. Just won a game doing that as a bot laner. I always Press tab and check whos dead on their team. and how many enemies i see on the map. I do the math and guess how many people could possibly show up.
Insanity can be defined as repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. If you aren't breaking top, don't keep sending the same 4 guys to try and break it.

By JUDY SHERARD
Sharon Tallman spends her days rocking babies.
Tallman is an infant para-educator at Hays Area Children's Center.
She earned a teaching degree from Fort Hays State University and started her career in the local district.
"Subbing is great. It pays great when you sub, but I wanted a regular job," she said.
She started working at the HACC in 1993, the same year her daughter, Johnae Blackmon, an FHSU freshman, was born. Johnae was followed by Trey and Isaiah Blackmon, Hays High School juniors, and Dante Blackmon, an eighth-grader at Hays Middle School. Johnae was in kindergarten when Dante, Tallman's youngest child, was born.
Tallman became a single parent when she was pregnant with Dante.
As a single parent of four children, she knew she couldn't be the kind of teacher she would want to be. Still, she needed a job.
"The money -- you need it -- but sometimes it's just not workable unless you give something up, and I wanted to be a good mom. That was more important than anything."
Because she has a teaching degree, she started at the HACC working with preschool children and moved to the infant room later when there was an opening.
"I love the people I work with, and I love babies," she said. "It's nice to be with the babies, but I wouldn't mind moving around again."
After work, Tallman can focus on her own children.
"Once I picked them up, I didn't have to worry any more about the children's center until the next day. But yet when I was there, I could give 100 percent to those kids."
Her son, Trey, has Down syndrome, and working with other families who have children with special needs has helped.
"I love kids, and God gave me a forever kid," she said of Trey.
Another son has asthma. That along with other childhood illnesses meant additional time and care. Now that they are older, they are involved in a number of activities.
"A lot of jobs you just can't leave," Tallman said. "Because we are all about kids, they are understanding."
Tallman's work schedule allows her to take her children to school and pick them up after school and hear firsthand about their day.
Her children "talk to their dad all the time, but it's not the same. He's just not here."
Tallman's mother died several years ago, but her father, Ernest Tallman, serves as a male role model for her children.
"He's been a big help," she said. "He goes to all my kids' activities."
She might consider a teaching career after her children are grown, but it would be hard to leave HACC.
"Everybody there loves kids," Tallman said. "I love kids. It's been nice having a job I love."

Eau Claire - The Darrell Souhrada Show arrived at a timely juncture for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Saturday afternoon.
Souhrada, limited to 53 yards in 22 carries through three quarters, erupted for an 18-carry, 125-yard fourth-quarter performance to lead the Blugolds (8-1, 5-1) to a 10-7 victory over UW-La Crosse (4-5, 3-3) in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Carson Park.
The Blugolds' bruising senior tailback took seven handoffs for 36 yards on Eau Claire's 46-yard game-winning scoring drive, which culminated in a 22-yard field goal by Nick Diciaula with 6 minutes 13 seconds left in the game.
On the final play of the Eagles' ensuing drive, Blugolds punt returner Jason Dunn muffed a Bryan Morris punt. After a mad scramble, Eau Claire retained possession at its own 11 with 4:07 left. La Crosse never threatened to score again.
Souhrada's 178-yard day established him as Eau Claire's all-time rushing leader with 4,211 yards, eclipsing Lee Weigel's mark of 4,105 set from 1982-'85.
"(Eau Claire running backs coach Cary) Osborne always tells me to be patient and it will come, and that's what happened," Souhrada said of his late-game heroics. "Nothing new went through my mind; I just kept pounding it."
The victory was Eau Claire's first over the Eagles since 1998, avenged a 27-18 setback to La Crosse a year ago, extended its winning streak to four games and earned the Blugolds at least a piece of the WIAC title. The Blugolds will conclude the regular season Saturday at UW-Stevens Point with a chance to secure an outright crown and an automatic NCAA Division III playoff berth.
"It's an awesome feeling at least having a share of the title and Darrell breaking the record," Eau Claire coach Todd Hoffner said. "We can't relax any next week, though. (Stevens Point) beat the La Crosse team we had our hands full with today."
Eau Claire outgained La Crosse, 290-244, in net yards and posted 225 rushing yards to the Eagles' 103.
Fredrickson, in his first collegiate start, completed eight passes for 78 yards and rushed for 36.
Eagles quarterback Josh Boraas completed 22 of 39 pass attempts for 178 yards, including 12 for 102 to wideout Matt Rizzo.

Jurisdiction-free registration introduced
If you reside in Ameerpet and have a property at Malakpet that is being sold, you need not travel all the way to the local sub-registrar office at Azampura for registration. Just drop in at the nearest office i.e., at Punjagutta in this case, and have the task attended to.
The concept of jurisdiction-free registration of immovable property has been introduced in the city on Friday. Following the Registration and Stamps Department's decision to migrate its application software from distributed to central architecture, the facility of "anywhere registration" came into being within Hyderabad Registration District and Hyderabad Registration District (South). The necessary infrastructure, connectivity and access have been put in place and the staff hope that the usage would pick up once the concept gets popularised among the public.
On Day 1, it emerged clear that the new idea could take a few more days to make an impression among the people. Very few visitors to the Sanjeev Reddy Nagar sub-registrar office appeared to be aware of the facility. "Is it so? I did not know about the facility," said Turab Hassan, who came to enquire about documents needed for registration.
An official said that glitches, if any, could be overcome once people start using the facility. "There could be some teething problems," he said.
While the Hyderabad Registration District covers four offices, the latter comprise five offices and registrations in sub-registrar offices within their individual jurisdiction are allowed. "All required details, including market values and prohibitory data, can be accessed online from different sub-registrar offices. We are now in a position to offer transactions without reference to jurisdiction," said G. Sthita Prajna, Sub-Registrar, S.R. Nagar.

Future Stars: Blood Brothers and Von Bondies
The Blood Brothers
Who: Brilliantly spazzy Seattle punk-metal quintet featuring pinched-nad shouter-singers Johnny Whitney (far right) and Jordan Blilie (second from right).
What: On their new album, Burn Piano Island, Burn, the band rock NASCAR tempos, turn-on-an-atom arrangements, and glockenspiel, subverting mosh-pit convention with Yes-like song titles ("Cecilia and the Silhouette Saloon") and surreal lyrics.
Courting ControversyThe band insist that previous album references to "golden crotches" and illicit horse-human relations were strictlytongue-in-cheek. "It's not like, 'Oh, we should write a song about bestiality--that'll be awesome!'" notes Whitney. Adds Blilie: "It wasn't followed by a round of high fives or anything."
Not Mach Enough? "I get the feeling that kids are kind of into us," says guitarist Cody Votolato (center). "But they don't want their friend to know. They're both thinking the same thing: 'They're loud and fast, but kind of faggy.'"
The Von Bondies
Who:Bluesy Detroit foursome (below, jamming with the Datsuns) featuring Jason Stollsteimer's depraved howl and guitarist Marcie Bolen's heartfelt scuzz. Bolen (far right) is dating Jack White of the White Stripes.
What:On 2001's Lack of Communication, Stollsteimer (far left) got his kicks telling us how long he's been down--approximately two years. "At 19, the love of my life left me, so I started drinking, and eventually I woke up in a bathtub," he says. "Then I saw the Cramps and Guitar Wolf, and that made we want to form a band." The group's major-label debut will be out "sometime" in 2003.
My Heroes Are Gone: "The people I look up to--like Screamin' Jay Hawkins--are all dead," says Stollsteimer.

How to disable Android camera shutter sound [Guide]
Posted By Kent On June 13, 2014 @ 4:38 PM In Android | 1 Comment
Some Android devices have a built-in option for disabling the camera shutter sound. However, this is not always the case. So if ever you find yourself troubled over the fact that your camera keeps on making that annoying sound every time you take a picture, here are some quick and easy ways to disable your Android camera shutter sound. No need to root your device. Just follow the instructions listed below.
Check whether your phone or tablet's stock camera app has a built-in option for disabling camera shutter sound. To do this, just open your stock camera then go to "Settings". The option to disable camera shutter sound usually comes together with the options for GPS, Guidelines, Storage, Image Quality, Auto Contrast, Reset, etc.
If you can't find such option in the menu, it is most likely that your stock camera app doesn't have one. If this is the case, then better proceed to the second method.
If your phone's default camera app won't allow you to silently take photos, you can always look for a reliable alternative. Come to think of it, there are lots of free camera apps at the Play Store. One good example of this is the Silent Camera app for Android. Speaking of which, just download [2] the third-party app then install it on your tablet or smartphone.
Once installed, launch the app from your app drawer. You will then be taken to the camera's interface. If you wish to take a picture without making any sound, just press the "Capture" button and that's it. The photo will be immediately taken and saved to your image gallery.
If you don't want to download any third-party app, you can try setting your device to silent mode. To do this, just go to your device "Settings" then choose "Sound". Find and select the option for "Silent Mode".
However, keep in mind that this method may not always work.
By turning off your camera shutter sound, you can easily take pictures without being noticed by others. So go ahead and choose the method that works.

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Archived:Introduction to fscommands
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived.
Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.
Fscommand enables the communcation between Flash Lite applications and the host environment, like a handset or other device, using ActionScript
Contents |
Historically, the fscommand function was introduced for Flash Player 3 to enable the Flash movie to to communicate with the Flash Player, or application hosting the Flash Player. The fscommand function was also used to to pass messages to Macromedia Director, or to Visual Basic, Visual C++, and other programs hosting ActiveX controls. Most of the original fscommand actions are not supported in Flash Lite, with the exception of "launch".
The fscommand2 function was introduced in Flash Lite 1.1 to support interaction with mobile devices capabilities such as locale data, date and time, network and battery level, operating system version and the IMEI code of the device. It can also be used to give feedback to the user through vibration. This article will concentrate on the fscommand2.
status = fscommand("Launch", "application-path, arg1, arg2,..., argn")
returnValue = fscommand2(command [, expression1 ... expressionN])
Differences between fscommand and fscommand2
The main purpose of the two functions is the same, the interaction between the host system and the Flash movie, but there are two main differences:
execution point in time
- fscommand() is run at the end of the current frame
- in Flash Lite, fscommand2() is executed immediately
return value
- fscommand() is always void and does not return a value
- fscommand2() returns failure, succes or a specific return value
List of supported fscommand2() actions
The following is a list of fscommand2() actions supported in Nokia ans s60 handsets in general. You can find more information of each command from Adobe.
The Adobe site is more general Flash Lite, some of the commands are links to Nokia device specific code examples:

"Naked Snowman"
José Lerma's abstract expressionist creatures and characters are so often a jumble of body parts and fleshy bits, that even when the paintings are relatively simple, the focus is on the flesh. (Who would have guessed there'd be fleshy bits in a picture of a snowman?) Lerma's paintings and drawings are done in a variety of media, but a common link would be the elongated nose or other similar (in length and appearance) body parts. Not just made up of eye-catching colours and subject matter, Lerma's work also involves thick, enticing brush strokes that add to the appeal.

Map: Scottsdale Road and Earll Drive
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Scottsdale police are searching for a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run Sunday night.
Police spokesman Officer David Pubins said a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle was southbound on Scottsdale Road just south of Earll Drive when it struck the back of a gray Chevy Camaro pulling out of a private drive at about 7:30 p.m.
The car was also headed southbound and left the scene after the collision.
The 52-year-old male motorcycle driver and 50-year-old female passenger were transported to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center. The Tempe man is expected to survive, but the Phoenix woman's injuries are considered life-threatening.
Pubins said neither motorcycle occupant was wearing a helmet.
Their names have not been released.
At this point, police believe that alcohol and speed on the part of the motorcyclist may have been factors in the collision.
Police are still searching for the driver of the 1994 Camaro, which had damage to the rear bumper and a broken rear window, according to a witness. The vehicle has Arizona plate AWS7877.
The driver of the Camaro is described as a white male in his 20s, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds with brown hair and a beard. He also has tattoos on his hands and wrists. Police said there was a female passenger in the vehicle who is described as white, in her 20s, with short dark hair and blond highlights. Both were dressed in black clothing.
Anyone with information can contact Scottsdale police at 480-312-5000 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

Just in time for Christmas, Disney has announced The Rocketeer on Blu-ray in a 20th anniversary edition. Release date is December 13.
The film is a cult favorite, about mechanic and test pilot Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell), his curmudgeonly buddy (Alan Arkin), and his Bettie Page-like girlfriend (Jennifer Connelly) using a jetpack to fight Nazis in Hollywood. One of the bad guys is Timothy Dalton, playing an Errol Flynn-type star with secret leanings. I didn't realize that director Joe Johnston also helmed this summer's Captain America: The First Avenger.
The big question is "does this edition have any special features?" The bare-bones DVD release, put out 12 years ago, had just the movie trailer. Fans have been hoping for more ever since. In my case, I'd love to see one of those featurettes that compare the film to its source material, the comics created by Dave Stevens.
Unfortunately, Disney's official email announcement to press mentions nothing on the subject. They promote "state-of-the-art digital restoration and enhanced high definition sound", but the description of a single disc at $26.50 US suggests a bargain-priced edition with minimal extras. The only additional elements listed in the announcement are English and French audio tracks and subtitles. I hope that Disney is just figuring out what to add, and better news will follow about bonus features.
Update: I inquired of the press contact if there would be any special features, and the answer I got was "Not this time." I hope that means that, if reception to this is strong, there will be an enhanced version somewhere down the road, but it looks like this release only has the bonus of upgraded picture and sound.
YESSSSS to the Rocketeer on Blu-Ray.
BOOOOOO to no special features. I mean, seriously, every single review of Captain America compared it to The Rocketeer. And many (like the Half In The Bag guys) found Rocketeer to be the superior product. Argh. I mean… lesser cult classics get better features, you know? That saddens me.
I hate the idea of buying a full price Blu-Ray with no bonus features, but if it's in letterbox (rather than the Pan & Scan of the DVD) I might have to bite the bullet.
[…] was kind enough to send The Rocketeer on Blu-ray. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, and now that I know more about the […]

Ben Swann and Dr. Jim Garrow: Military Brass Required to Fire on American Citizens?
Submitted by NHLiveFree on Tue, 02/12/2013 - 11:49- Login to post comments
obama is not to blame
obama is a puppet for the banking elite, nothing he has done has been on his own accord.

Couple things
I wrote my first post without watching the video, but responding to the headline.
Having watched the video:
While it may be the Obama Admin who has initiated this supposed line of Questioning and Firing, all the blame cannot be on his shoulders. A Coup of this type takes a great deal of time to prepare for. Far longer than 4 years and 1 President. It would take several of both.
I would advise all of our Military, including Leaders, to answer Yes in a convincing manner.
To answer NO and an Ugly event occur they would be instantly targeted. To answer Yes is to have a chance to reshape events When and If the order is given.

ben is great ben is good
ok its good that ben is questioning this guy as any good journalist should unlike mr. jones who had him mr. garrow and kept spouting out the name BOYKIN thinking he knew exactly who it was that told MR. GARROW this news.
all that said , THIS STORY IS A HOAX , you be the judge ? well gordon duff has used his connections to ferret out the weasel
just my opinion , the dr. or mr. garrow guy seems shifty in this interview of ben swann's. I would say that garrow needs someone of legitimacy to stand up and verify this story, just taking his word and some callers into the jones show word for it is ... well um it is NAIVE.
I'm with duff on this one in thinking that DEMPSEY would not let obama or anyone else making this a standard practice to ask soldiers this quesiton.
this sounds more and more like a neocon plot/ploy to undermine obama's administration and make him seem more unamerican than he already is.

Let those you know in the Military
Know that ALL of our Representatives, Judges, and Executives (President, Governors, Secretaries, Czars, etc) are AMERICANS too.
Remind our Military that they have done a bang up job of Defending the US Constitution from Foreign Enemies and that We the People need them to step up that Defense from those Enemies who are DOMESTIC.
Let them know that We the People have Suffered the Flip/Flop of the Lesser or Two Evils while they have been Sufferable for too long, and that we need to Right Ourselves from the Tyranny that we have become so accustom to.
Let them know who picks up the Tax Bill along with Voluntary projects like Wounded Warrior, when the Feds order them off to die in Foreign Lands to secure others Resources for the Central Banks and Affiliates to Monopolize trade over. The Feds send our Men and Women overseas to risk their Hearts, Minds, and Bodies, yet are TOO CHEAP to help them when and if they make it back Home.
Let our brave men and women know that when and if the TOP BRASS orders them to fire upon American Citizens that they are Citizens too, and that is the most egregious offense against the Constitution and those who Order it are Traitors of the Highest Order.
Finally, let them know that their Enemy is not the American People, but those who wish to Enslave Americans while they Live and Behave like Kings and Vassals. Let them know that we are willing to Support and Defend them while they do the same for the Constitution!

>>> death of libyan dictator moammar gadhafi . nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is here with the latest. and richard, the images we want to mention are disturbing.
>> they are disturbing. and libyan officials this morning are saying gadhafi 's body will be treated with more dignity and respect, but buried, most likely, in an unmarked grave after his violent end. once in rebel hands, gadhafi was shown no mercy. injured, they manhandled him, pulled his hair and propped him up on the hood of a car to take pictures. these were the final moments of the libyan dictator after 42 years in power. news of gadhafi 's death triggered wild celebrations across libya . he was killed in sirte, his hometown, in a neighborhood called district 2. fighting had been intense there for weeks. the reason is now obvious. the rebel assault devastated the neighborhood, so moammar gadhafi tried to escape. a large convoy attempted to slip out of sirte, but the convoy was spotted, and u.s. officials say it was targeted by a nato air strike . gadhafi survived the strike. witnesses say he managed to crawl to a nearby drain pipe. it was there in the pipe that the former dictator was found by rebels . rebels quickly covered it in graffiti that reads " gadhafi was here." rebels arrested his bodyguards and seized a gold pistol they say gadhafi was carrying. but gadhafi himself didn't put up a fight. confused, he asked rebels who they were and said "don't shoot, i'm like your father." but these rebels say they did shoot gadhafi at least once in the stomach.
>> we shot him. somebody shot him by gun, gun, .9-milli.
>> reporter: they also hit him with their shoes. then officials say the rebels couldn't contain their emotions and rage. rebels executed gadhafi with a gunshot to the head. president obama called gadhafi 's death an opportunity for libyans to move forward and said the war he backed through nato was complete.
>> this marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of libya who now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny.
>> reporter: while gadhafi 's capture may have seemed inevitable, it still surprised u.s. officials, including secretary of state clinton, who read initial reports on her blackberry from afghanistan.
>> wow. ha.
>> reporter: before al qaeda , gadhafi was one of the world's leading sponsors of terrorism, responsible for the bombing of pan-am flight 103 over lockerbie that killed almost 200 americans. in the end, gadhafi was killed by his own people, who pulled the wounded dictator from a drain pipe, shot him and watched him die. with gadhafi now dead, matt, nato officials are meeting to consider ending military operations in libya .
>> all right, richard engel , thank you for your reporting on that. we appreciate it. it's

TORONTO, Ont. – Hundreds of animal rights advocates protested outside high-end retailer Holt Renfrew in Yorkville on Saturday afternoon.
The animal activists were demonstrating against Canada Goose Expedition Clothing Outfitters, who sell down jackets with fur hoods.
The protest was part of larger campaign staged by the Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals.
Organizers of the protest, "The Fur-Bearers Defenders" gathered a substantial group of sign-bearing activists that stood on the sidewalk outside the retailer spreading their message of "Firm Trim is a Trap."
Canada Goose products use coyote fur and down products to provide warmth.
The Canada Goose website explained that the fur is used because it "never freezes, doesn't hold water, and the uneven hair lengths create a windbreak that protects exposed skin, helping to reduce heat loss from the face."
Canada Goose said it adheres to industry and government guidelines for the ethical treatment of animals.
"We strongly identify with the value systems of these communities, and make a commitment that carries over to the way we do business," the Canada Goose website said. "Canada Goose does not buy fur from farms of any sort ever."
Canada Goose has partnerships with the Conservation Alliance and Polar Bears International.
Demonstrations were also held outside Holt Renfrew stores in Burlington, Hamilton and St. Catharines.

The Phillips Collection
The Phillips Collection is represented in ARTstor with 2,471 images of modern and contemporary art from around the world.
In 1921, the Phillips Collection opened to showcase the collection of Duncan Phillips (1886–1966) and is the first museum of Modern art in the United States. Phillips founded the museum in his private residence, a Georgian Revival building located in Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood. He built his collection on the premise that artists are influenced by their predecessors, thereby purchasing works by El Greco and Jean-Simeon Chardin as foreshadowings of later Expressionist and Modernist painting. From these foundations, Phillips would acquire works by European masters such as Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, Honoré Daumier, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edouard Vuillard. Renoir's masterpiece, Luncheon of the Boating Party (1880–1881), is the museum's best-known work. Phillips also collected works by American artists, including Richard Diebenkorn, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Jacob Lawrence, Maurice Prendergast, Mark Rothko, Albert Ryder, and James Abbot McNeill Whistler, among others. In addition, Phillips supported emerging artists like Milton Avery, Arthur Dove, John Marin, and Georgia O'Keeffe, purchasing their works to provide them with the means to continue their artistic vocations. Over the course of 50 years, Phillips and his wife Marjorie would amass a collection of over 2,000 works.
Since Phillips' death in 1966, the museum has continued to add to its permanent collection, which now comprises nearly 3,000 works by artists from around the world. As a private, non-government museum supported by donations and public funds, The Phillips Collection has an active collecting program and regularly organizes acclaimed special exhibitions, many of which travel nationally and internationally. The museum also produces award-winning and in-depth education programs for K-12 teachers and students, as well as for adults. Its Center for the Study of Modern Art explores new ways of thinking about art and the nature of creativity, through artist visits, seminars, and classes. To accommodate its growing collections, as well as its expanding education and outreach programs, the museum recently completed a comprehensive renovation and expansion project. Despite the addition of extensive exhibition and public spaces, the museum has preserved the scale of Phillips' historic residence and continues to offer visitors an intimate encounter with its renowned collection.

Whatever Happened to Dork Tower?
- Posted by Johanna on December 18, 2010 at 8:32 am
- Category: Graphic Novel News
I found myself boxing up some of the longer trade series that were in standard comic size — like Hellboy and the few Buffy collections I want to keep and PS238 — and stumbled across the first seven books of Dork Tower. I was reminded, when book 7 left off in 2004, the guy was running to the airport to meet up with his dream girl, Gilly the perky goth, who was on her way to London. Since then, there's been two more collections, but they contained webstrips, not more of the continuing story. (Unless I'm wrong? Let me know.) I'd still like to find out what happened with them — I wonder if I ever will?
Update: Author John Kovalic has posted an explanation and some information on his future plans.

December 18, 2010 at 9:50 AMHi Johanna,
John Kovalic was on The Ink Panthers podcast over the Summer, talking about this, and announcing that he was planning on going back to the story. He basically said that a bunch of personal issues around the time that older story was happening prevented him from ever completing it.

December 18, 2010 at 1:17 PMI was hoping posting this would gather some more information! Thanks so much for pointing that out — I'm going to listen to your podcast now. I'm glad to hear there's still hope for finding out more of the story.

December 21, 2010 at 4:42 PMOMG!! I am packing things up for a move at the beginning of the year and actually ran across an issue of DT. I'd wondered about the book as well, so great to see this news. Especially the collections as most of my comic collection (including the DT collections) were destroyed in a hurricane a few years back.
