WASHINGTON -- The U.S. House of Representatives today defeated the Hefley Amendment by a vote of 252 - 176. The amendment to the House Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations bill, which would have overturned President Clinton's May 28th executive order banning workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, is a serious setback to the Far Right's recent anti-gay legislative crusade.
"This vote reflected the values of our nation," President Clinton said, after the amendment was defeated. "The American people believe in fairness, not discrimination, and the Hefley amendment would have legitimized government sponsored discrimination against its own citizens based on their sexual orientation.
"It has always been the practice of this Administration to prohibit employment discrimination in the federal civilian workforce based on sexual orientation," Clinton added. "Most federal agencies and departments have taken actions to memorialize that policy. The Executive Order does no more than make that policy uniform across the federal government. It does not authorize affirmative action, or preferences, or special rights for anyone."
The vote signals that members of Congress may fear a backlash from voters who overwhelmingly believe discrimination against gay Americans is wrong, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
"Today's vote was historic. For the first time in the history of this country, the U.S. House of Representatives voted that discrimination against gay and lesbian Americans is wrong," said HRC executive director Elizabeth Birch."Religious political groups and their Congressional allies overreached, and in the process, delivered our community a strong statement from Congress that they agree with most Americans and support protecting gay Americans from unfair discrimination."
"Republicans, Democrats, and independents in Congress did not want to add the official stamp of approval for anti-gay workplace discrimination in federal agencies. Most Americans adamantly oppose the Hefley Amendment and its goal of legalizing discrimination," said HRC political director Winnie Stachelberg. Birch and Stachelberg praised Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) for their leadership in defeating this amendment.
The amendment, sponsored by Rep. Joel Hefley (R-CO), was out-of-step with public opinion. A new poll released by HRC and conducted by the polling firm Penn, Schoen, and Berland shows 64 percent of Americans said they are against Congress overturning the executive order, compared to only 28 percent who support overturning the discrimination ban.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released last week reaffirms the HRC findings with 72 percent of the American public supporting President Clinton's Executive Order against anti-gay bias in federal agencies. An April, 1997 poll conducted for the Human Rights Campaign by the Tarrance Group, shows that 80 percent of the American public says that homosexuals should have equal rights in terms of job opportunities. Before this executive order was issued, many federal agencies had their own separate policies banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
This often led to confusion amongst government workers as to whether or not they were protected. Contrary to the claims of the GOP leadership, this executive order helps clarify the law for government workers by bringing uniformity to existing anti-discrimination policies across the federal government. The order adds sexual orientation to the list of protected categories for which discrimination is already prohibited, i.e., race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability and age.
In issuing the order, Clinton noted that this policy does not add any new enforcement rights, such as the ability of a civilian federal worker to appeal an anti-gay job discrimination case before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
"In what has been one of the most hostile climates against our community in recent memory, we are relieved that a basic sense of fairness and decency is finally prevailing," said NGLTF executive director Kerry Lobel. "This amendment was nothing but another tool to attack gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Americans. It is our hope that defeat of the amendment will mark a return to addressing the truly important issues facing our country and a cessation of the spineless scapegoating that has become so popular of late."

Knots of Love: 100k Handmade Caps Donated to Cancer Patients | Newport Beach Independent Newspaper |
Knots of Love Celebrates Two Victories for 2011
"If I get just one cap," Christine Fabiani Shively said between knots, needles, stitches and skeins of yarn, "it will be a success." Fabiani Shively, the Angels' 2009 People magazine All-Star and the founder of the Newport Beach-based Knots of Love charity, is making a public appeal for handmade knitted and crocheted caps for cancer patients to wear during chemotherapy.
Christine Fabiani Shively (with Angels All-Star Torii Hunter, left, and former Angel and Hall of Famer Rod Carew, right, at the 2010 All Star Game in Anaheim) was the 2009 People magazine All-Star and is the founder of the Newport Beach-based Knots of Love charity. Knots of Love and the Angels have partnered for a Knit Cap Drive before Saturday's Angels game to collect handmade knitted and crocheted caps for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
She's coming to Angel Stadium on Saturday at 4 p.m., two hours before that night's Angels game against the Cleveland Indians. The Angels are backing her "Knit Cap Drive," allowing her and Knots of Love volunteers to set up a tent and a table before the game and through the second inning under the giant red metal cap outside Gate 3.
"Maybe someone will have heard about the drive and remembered to bring a cap," said the fast-talking woman who is as warm and cozy and springing with life as a hank of yarn. "Or maybe they'll grab a brochure, make a donation or get a starter kits and want to make a cap."
The caps don't have to be perfect. "There's a lid for every pot," said Fabiani Shively, 51, of Balboa Island.
The only requirement: The caps must be made of approved yarns — Caron Simply Soft, Lion Cotton Ease or Buttercup-brand yarns – because chemo patients have highly sensitive scalps.
There is nothing idle about Fabiani Shively, who is trying everything to help more patients to 326 cancer centers, hospitals and oncology offices across North America and share 5,000 caps with military veterans across America by November 11, 2011 (11/11/11).
She's going everywhere, zooming around in her red Mini Cooper that is frequently overloaded with Knots of Love bags, her ongoing projects, starter kits, extra crochet hooks, patterns and skeins of approved yarns in all colors.
She has teamed with five group homes – two sober living centers, a boys' lockdown facility in Orange and drug- and eating disorder rehabilitation centers — to teach people how to crochet, hoping they will one day make a cap they can donate.
Fabiani Shively tells them how Knots of Love started 81,000 donated caps ago in 2007 with stitch and a story from a friend, a cancer survivor. That day Fabiani Shively learned about chemotherapy, how patients lose their hair, how they shiver in cold treatment rooms and how something as simple as a soft, warm cap can bring comfort.
There are so few comforts fighting cancer. She shows strangers how their idle hands can lead to smiles.
"A cancer patient is out there waiting for your cap," Fabiani Shively told the women at the Balboa Horizons addiction recovery center.

"We are helping to keep the patient's minds off of drugs and hands busy helping others, all the while giving back in a powerful way and learning a fun skill. I am very excited about this program; it is win win for everyone involved. Giving patients an outlet like this, has been proven effective in the recovery process." Caps are collected on a weekly basis from the Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers where they are then donated to Knots of Love's 294 cancer treatment centers spanning throughout the country and overseas.

"Local Charity Growing Thanks to MLB Support"
By Dan Woike, The Orange County Register
Published: March 31, 2010
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – "You're going to make me cry."
Christine Shively sat on the couch in her office, thinking about how things have changed for her in the last year. Shively is the head of Knots-of-Love, a non-profit organization that knits hats and scarves for cancer patients and anyone else who needs some cheering up. The charity's still riding the wave after Major League Baseball and "PEOPLE" named Shively one of 30 All-Stars Among Us. Shively represented the Angels at the 2009 All-Star Game.

Knots of Love and Christine Shively Featured on GenerationBig.com
It started with a hand-knit cap that Christine Shively made for her son. One of Shively's friends, a cancer survivor, said she wished she had a cap like that to cover her bald held when going through chemotherapy. Shively decided to donate that one cap to a charity that distributes caps to people who need them, but she could find no such charity.
"So…I thought, 'I'll start my own charity,'" said Shively, of Newport Beach, Ca. The charity Knots of Love was born in 2007. Within weeks of sharing her idea with friends and family, Shively had formed a bold vision.
"When I did my first newspaper interview, I said we would distribute 10,000 caps in our first year," she said.
Mission accomplished and then some. Knots of Love distributed 12,000 in its first year, and has distributed more than 37,000 caps to date. Knots of Love has partnered with cancer centers in all 50 states and Canada and Mexico, and has established drop-off centers in dozens of locations so volunteers can deliver their creations with ease.

From the editor: "Our Caring & Sharing feature included patterns for two great-looking caps suitable for patients undergoing chemotherapy. They were inspired by Knots-of-Love, a local California charity founded by Christine Shively that has now become a national success with more than 250 volunteers across the country who knit and crochet caps for cancer patients. Christine was recently featured in an online Orange County Register article that shares some great information about Christine and her very worthwhile work for cancer centers and hospitals. I think you'll find it both interesting and inspiring."

CNOOC wins Australia nod to invest in shale gas acreage
PUBLISHED: 17 Feb 2011 10:40:00 | UPDATED: 18 Feb 2011 05:00:22PRINT EDITION: 17 Feb 2011State-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp has won approval from Australia's Treasurer to invest in a coal seam gas and shale gas exploration prospect in Queensland, its partner Exoma Energy said on Thursday.
CNOOC Gas & Power Group's farm-in agreement commits it to spend at least $50 million for a 50 per cent stake in Exoma's five exploration permits in the Galilee Basin and gives it options to buy 173.2 million shares in Exoma, amounting to a 35 per cent stake based on Exoma's current share base.
The deal now needs approvals from the Chinese and Queensland governments.
CNOOC this week announced a plan to spend $53 billion over five years on oil and gas exploration in China.
It already owns a 5.3 per cent stake in Australia's biggest LNG producer, the North West Shelf and has a 25 per cent stake in offshore exploration permits in Western Australia.
It won Australian approval last year to buy a controlling stake in the $3 billion Arckaringa coal for power and coal-to-oil project in South Australia, in partnership with Altona Energy.

Two of Four Competitive Grants Go to UI Students Two University of Idaho students have been awarded Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association (PNNA) intern grants. An accolade only four students lay claim to this year. Senior Kaitlyn Krasselt, and junior Ryan Tarinelli, both journalism majors and employees of the Argonaut are two of four recipients of the PNNA grant. The $1,500 educational grant is provided to students who secure an internship accompanied by a letter of recommendation. "It's an endorsement to the 25-odd newspapers in our region that these people are quality. It tells them that they'll have a good employee and for our students to have an opportunity like this is so cool," said student media adviser Shawn O'Neal. Krasselt, of Moscow, has worked at the Argonaut since her first year, originally as an office assistant and now serves as a news editor. Tarinelli, of Bellview, Wash. is the current opinion editor and an accomplished trombone player. "It's a significant achievement for us. These are the awards we strive for," said O'Neal.

I actually would like to get the #16 direct and sell them. This the Bangood 808. They're elusive though as none of the Chinese vendors state what they have.

LOSI connecter thumbnail separation assist 101
I've found the with the little bit of thumb nail that I have that you can use one of them to one to easily pry the two tiny LOSI connector pieces apart. It is much easier to separate the two LOSI connecter halves this way. When the LOSI connectors are mated, there is always a small gap on one side and a raised edge of one connecter on the other side. Using a thumb nail against the edge or wedged against the gap and holding back one side of the connecter while pinching and pulling the other side works like a champ. I came up with this because the connecters were so hard to pull apart I was probably going to eventually yank out the wires. Old and new dogs can learn this thumbnail trick EDIT: See MassiveOverkill's video and photos on this technique: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=20 I would probably be the first one to put them together wrong and ruin the flight controller if I cut the connecter tabs off Cheers, Jim Quadrocopter and Tricopter Info Mega Link Index |

Excellent job on the connector instructions video and photos! I added your post's link to the "new" Mini and Micro Multicopters section in the Quadrocopter and Tricopter Info Mega Link Index V, Those links and more are in that section of the Mega Index for reference. The Keyfob links are in the On Screen displays and FPV and AVP section.

I don't mean to push any particular part on anybody, but I bought some of these chargers. The charge rate is selectable, to some extent, and they work really well. I'm planning to use one of the charger cables that came with my Ladybugs and wire it up. It comes with an eflite battery cable, which I use on my fpv batteries, and I found a source for the Walkera battery cables, and I soldered one of each to the charger so that I can charge either. I actually bought 5 and I plan to wire them all together so I can charge 5 batteries at a time.
Dec 03, 2012, 07:44 PM | |||
Not all batteries are flight-tested, but at least one is, but we do check the voltage of each one, which should be ~3.93, which is how the come shipped to us. I've actually had a few batteries where the polarity was reversed, checking the voltage has saved some potential disasters. Make sure your USB port is putting out enough voltage. If you have another computer or AC\USB charging recepticle, swap the charger to it. Quote:

I'll try a different USB Port. I used a front port which doesn't give as much amp as the back ones and its not a USB 3.0 one either. I am trying now one of the back USB 3.0 ports.
- Any reason why not to use a Thunder AC6 like charger? I can set it to 1S 300mah... I am assuming you cannot charge the stock batteries at more than 1C.... - Do they sell such charge cables? If not, anyone got a link to where I can get such female adapter? Not sure what they are called. I am assuming they sell those as oppose to have to botcher a USB charge cable (but that is ok too) and then I'll solder my own. I didn't realize the nanos were for the MP or else I would have gotten those. I originally put them in my cart, read their description again and looked at the pic of the adapter, and somehow concluded they are not for the MP. James/Massive, I think you may want to state in the nanos description explicitly that they are for the MP as well. Embarrassing, but somehow I didn't get that, so others may get confused as well. |

Force India VJM01 - sidepod winglets development 22 July 2008
In addition to the extensive updates introduced by Force India at Silverstone, the team made some further changes ahead of the Hockenheim race. One of these revisions concerned the assembly of the winglets placed in front of the car's sidepods (see arrows). Instead of being connected to the sidepod chimneys, the new elements are separate and are connected at their lower edge to the sidepod and at their centre, with the help of an additional horizontal profile, to the rear-view mirrors. This solution minimizes drag and increases the stability of the winglets.

Alright with other bait
My uncle bought these and never had any luck, so he gave them to me. I've found out that they work well if you add night crawlers or corn with them. The corn and the catfish chunk combo has saved a couple trips. Also, make sure not to leave them on the hook too long and you seal the bag good, they dry very fast.

There's no set path to become a presentation designer. The few of us trailblazers out there are still carving the path for those who will join us in the Presentation Revolution.
I've outlined in great depth tips to create an effective PowerPoint presentation, but what if you want to take it further than that? What if you wanted to be the resident PowerPoint expert in your company? Or what if you want to turn your passion for presentation design into a career?
First, bravo! The world needs more presenters and presentation designers like you.
Secondly, I've created a list below of 20 (ever evolving through the contributions in the comments, of course) steps you can take to become a presentation design expert. The list is not (nor will ever be) exhaustive, nor do you have to do EVERYTHING on this list to improve your presentation design skills. These are just some steps I have (and haven't) taken to get where I am today as a presenter and presentation designer.
- Read Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds
- Read slide:ology by Nancy Duarte
- Read Resonate by Nancy Duarte
- Read Brain Rules by John Medina
- Read Universal Principles of Design
- Attend a presentation design workshop
- Volunteer to give educational presentations in your organization (on any topic)
- Volunteer to train others in your organization in effective presentation design techniques
- Join your local Toastmasters
- Join and upload your designs to Slideshare – encourage feedback
- Enter your PowerPoint and Keynote presentations into contests like World's Best Presentation and Slidefest (you never know!)
- Attend a presentation conference like the Presentation Summit (I'll be speaking there!)
- Learn alternative presentation software like Prezi, SlideRocket, and Keynote (yes, it's not mainstream yet!)
- Volunteer to design the presentations for the conference speakers in your organization
- Visit Note and Point often and don't let the amazing presentation discourage you!
- Research effective storytelling techniques
- Learn the art of storyboarding your ideas
- Volunteer to redesign a presentation (effectively, of course)
- Read presentation design blogs (see my blogroll) and comment with your thoughts
- Start your own blog and chronicle your journey as a presentation designer
Of course, there are countless more ways to improve and ultimately be able to call yourself the presentation expert in your company. What pathways have you taken to become a better presentation designer? Let me know in the comments and I'll add them to the list.

Having trouble convincing your parents to let you play video games until your eye balls bleed? Or, as a parent, are you looking for a compelling reason to justify the insane hours your children spend on video games? Or, as a girlfriend, do you want to find justification for why your boyfriend prefers to play Call of Duty with his pals all night instead of spending time with you? Then this article is for you.
The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) ran a study seeing how well high school students — who play an average of two hours of video games a day — perform at simulated surgery using robotic tools (did you expect them to let high schoolers cut open real people?) than medical residents (doctors in post-medical school training). What did they find? The high school students performed "slightly better than our physicians in training". The kicker? These doctors — who lost to high school students — have taken part in real surgeries in the past.
While it has been hypothesized for the better part of the last decade that video games help improve hand-eye-coordination, no one expected high school students — who have no formal surgical training — to outperform real doctors. Go figure.

naveed, I totally respect your views and am glad we can have a respectable discussion. I am also glad that your experience was not on a personal level but rather on a professional/career level(which can be also very demoralizing). I know many doctors that I would not even recommend for my family or friends. I totally agree with you that people should be extra vigilant and do their own research especially when a doctor prescribes only a certain kind of medication or equipment from only a particular company. IMHO I believe that drug and health insurance companies have the medical system with a tight grip on the throat and I agree with you that for change to occur, more people need to stand up and demand the change.
I will make a point to watch the movie you suggested. I also applaud you for standing up for your views and your passion of promoting health awareness to the people, I hope you continue with this noble endeavor.
johnO -
john, I pretty much agree with everything you said. I didn't mean to come off all tin-foily.
Antibiotics have side effects, yes. But, they do what they are supposed to do and do it well. With antibiotics, you are trading the high probability of curing the bacterial infection with the low probability of side-effects. With the particular examples I gave of sleeping and anti-depression medications, there's no such cost-benefit. The probability of relief much less cure is very small, while the probability of problems is high. This information comes from their own tests, not from outside sources.
There are obviously other effective drugs as well. My point, was why approve ones that are known to be not only ineffective but do more harm than good. There have been enough debacles where drugs that have been approved by the FDA had to be recalled.
The over-prescription of antibiotics has led to multiple other issues from drug resistant bugs to intestinal problems where the healthy bacteria have been wiped out. Antibiotics are prescribed for common colds which is caused by a virus, with the excuse that it's a preventive measure.
By no means, am I implying that the entire medical industry is a farce. Yes, there are good and bad doctors. My experience is not from an individual experience with an individual doctor, but from having worked in the medical industry for many years as well as researching health issues.
An interesting movie to watch on the topic of the broken health insurance system is "Damaged Care".
And yes, fixing any broken system of this scale is incredibly hard. But to do it, the want to do it should exist in enough people.
I do respect your views but I do think the FDA does an adequate job in approving medications via specific guidelines before being offered to the public. The issue is that we humans are all different and hence medications(which are all almost chemicals) work differently and with different side effects on each of us. Doctors/healthcare professionals will often err on the side of benefit vs risk when treating a disease. For example, antibiotics are really excellent medications, but the downside/side effect is that they can cause severe liver/kidney damage and even superinfections. But if you go to the hospital with an infection you will be given an antibiotic rather than take the risk of dying from the infection or side effects. Some people might get the side effects but usually most will not (especially the severe ones) hence therefore, it is SAFER to use the medication (otherwise that med will be pulled off the shelf). There is no medication that is 100% safe since also we as humans react differently, e.g lets look at shellfish, some are allergic but most are not, of those allergic some will have a minor rash while others can go into full shock and even die…. and of those not allergic, some might develop allergies later in life!! There is new research out there to match the patients dna with the chemical profile of the med so as to dispense tailor/custom made medications. It is the next huge thing in the medical/pharmacy field.
I find calling doctors glorified pill pushers, to be a little extreme( it is just like calling the police 'glorified mall cops'). Yes, there are good and bad doctors, just like there are good and bad police/waiters/ lawyers/teachers/parents etc. Yes some are driven by ambition, money, personal gain, etc but this is the same just like in any other profession including also religion(pastors, ministers etc.).
I do agree that the health system needs to be overhauled but from which end do we start….The giant pharmaceutical companies, the insuarance companies(health & malpractice) or the hospitals?
It seems that you might have had a bad experience with a bad doctor, but do not let it cloud your thoughts/better judgement, just like a meeting with a bad cop does not mean all cops are bad… but yes, it does pay to be vigilant with what the doctor prescribes just as you would be vigilant when dealing with a cop/lawyer/contractor/politician… etc. -
Along with the patent system, the medical system is another thing that needs serious fixing in the US. I don't understand how the FDA approves drugs that are almost no better than placebos and the side effects are worse than the disease. The drug trials of most sleeping pills show that they might marginally improve one aspect of sleep, while harming others and the overall effect is worse than having had no sleep at all.Similarly, many anti-depression medications are known to cause suicidal tendencies, which they're supposed to prevent in the first place.
Many, not all, doctors are glorified pill pushers who have no concept or interest in keeping the patient healthy. They have devolved to money creation machines, at the cost of their patients and even their own families and their own lives.
Sorry for the rant, but do your own research thoroughly before you blindly follow your doctor's recommendation, particularly if it is powerful medication or intrusive test.
I am not going to show my son this article that,s for sure.

BestMassage Offers KP-2 Organic Natural Cotton Bolster Pillow By Evron | E-Mail to a friend |
BestMassage Offers the KP-2 Organic Cotton Bolster from Evron
BestMassage.com, the international massage table and supplies warehouse, adds Evron's KP-2 100% Organic Pillow along with a matching 100% Organic Pillow Case to its website.
Chicago, IL, March 30, 2012 –
BestMassage is adding a new product to its line of organic offerings—this time Evron's KP-2 100% organic pillow made from 100% organic cotton and a natural fiber cultivated from the seeds of the kapok tree announced Amona Buechler, owner of BestMassage. "We are tending towards more organic and environmentally friendly materials in our massage table and massage supplies. Not only is there an increased consumer demand for these types of products, but we also take our responsibility to the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants very seriously," says Buechler.
The outer shell of the KP-2 Pillow and its matching Pillow Case are made with organic cotton that Evron asserts has not been in contact with any pesticides, which Evron claims can be detrimental to your health. The stuffing inside the pillow is derived from a natural tree seed from the kapok tree. The kapok tree is indigenous to Amazon rainforests and Evron says not only does its presence play an important role in sustaining the rainforest eco-system; its cultivation also helps employ the native people. Evron affirms organic material is superior because not only is it free from pesticides it also more comfortable and less likely to trigger allergies than the synthetic variety.
The KP-2 Pillow claims to have several uses—as a bolster during massage, a lumbar support in the car and office, or a comfortable place to rest your head at home-- to name a few. The pillow comes in white and is available in two sizes; the larger one that is 24 inches long with an 18 inch diameter and the smaller one that is 17 inches long with an 18 inch diameter. You can even remove some of the kapok stuffing from the pillow to customize your comfort. The KP-2 pillow with matching pillow cases retail for $49 and $39 for the large and small one respectively.
"As the world becomes more environmentally conscious so do we," claims Buechler. We are committed to partnering with suppliers that limit the use of dangerous pesticides and other environmentally unfriendly chemicals. Look for products like this from BestMassage in the future.
About BestMassage.com
BestMassage.com is proud to be a BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited organization with a BBB Rating of A+. Having over 10 years of experience and knowledge behind us, we are committed to offering massage therapists and those who care about health and well-being a complete line of high-quality massage supplies and products at the best prices possible with exceptional, friendly service, and fast shipment.

The Roman cemetery at Great Ellingham
Dominic Bareham, senior reporter
Wednesday, July 4, 2012
For the last 1,800 years, the full scale of the Roman cemetery site in a quiet Norfolk village has remained largely unknown, except for a few isolated finds of human bones.
But now excavation work carried out by Chris Birks Archaeology has revealed the full fascinating contents of one of Norfolk's largest burial sites in Great Ellingham.
The experienced archaeologist, who has worked in Holland, Germany and France as well as Norfolk, has been leading a team on a four-month excavation project which has uncovered 85 graves believed to date back to 200AD, one of the largest-ever Roman-era finds in the county.
Mr Birks said an archaeological evaluation had been initiated in November following a planning application for a new home close to the site, where human remains had been reported since the 1950s.
A trial trench was dug which showed there were five graves and the cemetery extended on to the planned development site, but as the digging continued, the full extent of the site became apparent.
"Even from the results of the evaluation, we never expected to find 85 burials, the most previously being recorded in Norfolk was about half this amount," Mr Birks said.
He added each grave contained a skeleton of a Romano-British citizen rather than a Roman arrival, and could have been the cemetery for a poorer rural settlement reliant on farming practices.
One particular feature had been the placing of flints around the skull and in some cases to each side of the pelvis or by the feet, while an iron finger ring and pottery had been found in some of the other graves.
However, Mr Birks said the ring may not necessarily have been a possession, but could have belonged to one of the mourners and been dropped into the grave, accidentally or otherwise.
He said the almost complete lack of any grave goods indicated the people buried there were not wealthy, especially when compared to other nearby burials where many goods had been found.
One skeleton at the Great Ellingham site indicated a decapitation had taken place as the head had been placed close to the feet.
Mr Birks said decapitations were a known feature of Roman burials, but could not say why it had taken place in this instance. One possible explanation could be the person had been murdered or had committed a crime.
He added: "The population represented by this cemetery was most probably a rural settlement reliant on farming practices, though, at present, we don't know where this settlement was.
"However, it must have been a large, or at least long-lived, settlement given the number of burials we have found in only a small part of the full extent of the cemetery."
The human remains have been sent off to a human bones expert to determine their age at death and gender, while the iron finger ring, which was corroded but in a stable condition, will be sent to the Castle Museum in Norwich.
Mr Birks said: "It is a very significant find in terms of understanding Roman cemeteries in Norfolk."

EDP please make a note to follow this story as the archeaologists find out more about the burials-whether they were Romans or Romano British would be interesting.Why not fund DNA tests to see if any current Great Ellingham residents are descendants? Just think, though of the hoo-ha there would have been if these had been "First Nation" burials in the USA being hauled unceremoniously from their resting places for the sake of a development.Perhaps the owner of the site had best look out for Iceni Poltergeists!

Our administration would never lie to us, right? We did find all the WMDs that the Zionist/neocons touted in Iraq, right?
Let see, according to the administration, Amiri went from Hajj to the US to study. Where did he study? Which professors there did he communicate with? Where did he stay? Which airline did he take from Saudia Arabia to US? What kind of ticket was it? All of these things can be easily disclosed by the government if it was in their interest to do so. Transperancy gives a world of benefit. Let it be.

Shh listen there is a sound of rage building amongst all of us who believe in equality for all, not a select few... The granny state right has once again reared its ugly head, now Walker adds insult to injury by dictating what hospitals can or cannot do.. Wisconsin right wing fanaticims at its finest. The granny state right knows what is best for all of us.. Are these the Republicans who believe in limited government?? liberty for me, but not for thee Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to Prevent Same-Sex Couples Hospital Visitation Rights - E.D. Kain - American Times - Forbes
I'll ask the same basic question I have asked several times here on various matters regarding homosexuals and rights: does anybody believe there are grounds for this that aren't rooted in homophobia? i.e., any legitimate reason for the government to prevent this? I'm really hoping there is moree to this story than meets the eye.
Its like Scott Walker is playing a game of "Who wants to get recalled?" only he isn't aware of it. Rumor has it that he is introducing legislation to fine and jail anyone in Wisconsin who wears a foam cheese head, or roots for the Packers.
On the merits of enforcement, he's adhering to a 2006 amendment to the state constitution -- right? What did the Democrats do to get around that? Was it subject to a popular vote? Should legislatures so easily circumvent constitutions? All invalid if the amendment wasn't a popular vote either.
Walker should have had the courts decide of the 2009 law was constitutional under the 2006 amendment.
This is the same as the Obama administration not defending laws they don't support (DOM act for example). Both Obama and Walker are wrong in these cases.
Possibly... I'd see it a little differently. In Wisconsin, there might be conflicting language which as you say should be challenged for constitutionality. For the DOMA, it's dropping the defense due to political outlook not legislation.
Leaving anything in the hands of any Court is never a good idea. Adults should be able to make decisions without third party interference, see the NFL labor situation.
In general I agree with this Darryl, however we have a situation where a group feels a law that was passed by the legislature is unconstitutional and took their case to court, it should be decided there. Imagine if there was a challenge to laws allowing abortion and the president decided not to defend or enforce the existing law? That is wrong.
You need to rewrite your second part it makes no sense, don't try to deal with what if's, deal with what is known... somehow you folks have to weave Obama into every thread, Walker is a stand alone douche bag... Some laws just make sense, as in this case.. allowing same sex couples to visit in the hospital makes sense, and the state should not intervene in this basic right, no matter where it came from. The right used to favor limited government, but that only applies to big business, not for women, children, gay people or minorities.. there they know what is best and create laws to exert control over them.
Evidently Scott Walker thinks he's in Kansas. Then again, he'll have an opportunity to re-locate there fairly soon.

Roxon vows to keep pushing states on hospital reform
PUBLISHED: 20 Apr 2010 08:26:06 | UPDATED: 21 Apr 2010 04:28:43PRINT EDITION: 20 Apr 2010
The federal government will keep "pushing" state and territory leaders premiers to sign up to its health reforms during a second day of talks in Canberra on Tuesday.
The planned clawback of GST revenue, which the Rudd government intends using to become the dominant funder of public hospitals, remains the biggest obstacle to an agreement.
"It's a critical part of our plan," Health Minister Nicola Roxon told the Seven Network, admitting the issues were "causing a difficulty".
"We are determined to keep pushing and persuading and cajoling the states and territories."
Ms Roxon is hopeful a $1.2 billion federal sweetener for elective surgery, emergency departments and sub-acute beds will sway premiers and chief ministers.
"Obviously we are hopeful that it will."
She also insists federal Labor will take its plan to a referendum if an agreement can't be reached.
The Daily Telegraph has reported the government will hold a plebiscite, not a referendum, on the plan.
"We've made perfectly plain, and I don't issue it as a threat ... that if we don't get an agreement our commitment is to take this to the people," Ms Roxon said.
The Council of Australian Governments meeting is due to start at 9.30am.

Over the years people have displayed the American flag year roundhot or cold, rain or shine, wind and dust, snow and ice, the end result being a national ensign that it looks like it was on the bloody battlefield of Gettysburg, went up San Juan Hill or was at Pearl Harbor that fateful Sunday.
For many, merely flying the Stars and Stripes, regardless of its condition, represents patriotism. Well, Im sorry my friend, but that doesnt say patriot in my book. What it does say is CHEAPSKATE.
I have seen American flags so faded that from a distance you couldnt make out what flag it was. Others have been so ratty and dirty its amazing they were still waving in the breeze. It only takes 1-2 years for a flag to show wear and tear when it has been outside every day of the year.
But aside from these flag wavers being Scrooge in the flesh, they are also showing disrespect...not just for the emblem of the United States but for those men and women who have served that national beacon...for those men and women who have DIED for that national beacon.
So if you are one of those patriots reading this and you say you cant afford the 5 or 6 bucks per year or so to replace your tattered Old Glory, pass on a pack of coffin nails, a six-pack of brewskies or a handful of Powerball tickets. Our men and women in uniform deserve at least that much...dont they?

This is a guest post by a Parent Blogger. The views expressed in this publication are of the author's and do not necessarily reflect those of Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc.
The debate of breastfeeding vs. formula has always been a hot topic among mothers.
Breastfeeding advocates insist that going all natural produces healthier children as babies receive better nutrients and develop antibodies against illness, not to mention helps mothers get their pre-pregnancy bodies back much sooner. But when reaching for a bottle is less time consuming and more publically acceptable, the perks of formula can't be ignored. Soon-to-be mothers now may have to consider another factor when it comes to making a decision on a feeding method for their new bundle of joy. The argument that using formula allows mothers to catch more z's than breastfeeding might now have some holes in it.
Contrary to popular belief, mothers who breastfeed do not receive less or worse sleep than mothers who choose to use formula, according a study recently published in Pediatrics, Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The study evaluated maternal actigraphically measured sleep, subjective sleep reports, and daytime functioning, as well as their relation with the feeding method status during postpartum weeks two through 12. The outcomes were objectively measured total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and sleep fragmentation, along with subjectively reported numbers of nocturnal awakenings, total nocturnal wake time, and sleep quality. Sleepiness and fatigue was determined using the Stanford Sleepiness Scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, or the fatigue visual analog scale.
It found that there was no difference in sleep quality or quantity between women who were exclusively formula feeding, exclusively breastfeeding, or combining both feeding methods. The study concludes that when encouraging women to choose the breastfeeding method, the information that formula feeding does not necessarily mean improved sleep should be included. When it comes to not breastfeeding, the risks should be compared to the lack of evidence that formula feeding benefits maternal sleep.
