LIRR Services Resumes To Belmont Park
Horse racing fans take note that getting to Belmont will once again be easy as the Long Island Railroad resumes service the historic track as of tomorrow. Here are the details:
The thoroughbreds are back from Saratoga and the MTA Long Island Rail Road's 'Belmont Special' is at the starting gate and ready for the fall racing season at beautiful Belmont Park. The LIRR is partnering with The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) again this year to provide regular train service for racing fans for the start of the Fall Meet Friday, September 5, and continuing through October 26. Through the partnership, NYRA is subsidizing the cost of operating the LIRR Belmont service for racing fans.
Belmont Park is only a half-hour train ride from midtown Manhattan and the LIRR's "Belmont Special" ticket package entitles LIRR customers to a $1 discount off the regular $3 grandstand admission.
First race post time at Belmont will be 1:05 PM from September 5 through September 21 and 12:50 PM from September 24 through October 26. There is no racing on Mondays and Tuesdays, with the exception of Columbus Day, Monday, October 13 when a full racing program is scheduled.

Minimum Of 21 Bedbug Subway Sightings
The bedbug problem on the NYC Subway does not seem to be going away anytime soon if August is any indication. As I wrote about last week, a Brooklyn-bound N train was taken out of service after a conductor was bit by one while on duty.
Days later we got a report that the agency had at least 21 reported sightings in August. Pete Donohue of the New York Daily News has more:
Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials have been very reluctant to talk about bedbugs in the transit system. It's a story they wish would just go away.
So we'll rely on undercover transit sources to bring you the first-ever BugStat.
There were at least 21 reported bedbug sightings or encounters in the subway in August — including a few incidents in which a bloodsucker bit a conductor or a rider, sources said.
According to these transit insiders, there were nine sightings on N trains, three on Q trains and two on No. 6 trains.
The itch-inducing insects also were spotted once each on Nos. 3, 4, 5 and L trains, the sources said.
In addition to riding the rails, bedbugs were found in transit worker crew rooms and subway offices in Astoria, Queens, and Coney Island, Brooklyn (N and Q lines), and Euclid Ave., East New York, also in Brooklyn (A line).
Click here for the complete report.
Like I mentioned last week, I am surprised this had not become a big issue in the past considering how NYC has a problem with them. The MTA has downplayed the issue which is to be expected from their PR aspect. However they clearly are taking the issue seriously when you look at the internal reactions to the sightings.
I do feel the agency should keep an official list of sightings & make it available to the riding public. It is a shame they seem more concerned about their image versus getting the word out. Thankfully some insiders are doing the right thing & letting people know.

Business Owner Rips Off The MTA
Admittedly I have always had a skeptical eye on the contracts awarded by the MTA to businesses as I figured a decent percentage if not a majority were sweetheart deals or flat out ripoffs.
The latter turned out to be the case as 61 year old Joseph Ioia admitted to ripping off the MTA by providing low-grade fluid for city buses yet charging the agency for the high-quality version. Pete Donohue of the New York Daily News has more in this report:
Joseph Ioia, 61, also will cut a check to cover $863,618.25 as part of a plea deal formalized in court with Manhattan prosecutors Thursday.
As the owner New York Commercial Lubricants on Arlington Ave., Staten Island, Ioia won a contract to provide high-quality transmission fluid for Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses.But he delivered a lower-grade lubricant in 2010 and 2011, he admitted in court.
Click here for the complete report.
I am upset the agency got ripped off yet it is not my biggest complaint of the whole situation. What really rubs me the wrong way is how he gets off so easy to the point of getting weekend only jail time. If that was any average person with a lack of wealth & contacts, I am sure we would have to serve a 24×7 jail sentence for however many years we were convicted for.
I see zero incentive for him or others in similar positions to not try & rip off the MTA again as all you will get if caught is a slap in the wrist of repayment & minimal jail time. You have to love our criminal justice system as they once again give out one more win for the good guys!

Greenpoint Tubes Restortation Complete

line riders finally rejoiced earlier this morning when service was fully restored in the Greepoint Tubes after being closed for months due to Hurricane Sandy related repairs. Here is more courtesy of a MTA press release:
Regular weekday G service resumed between Court Sq and Nassau Av this morning, following a full-phased closure of the Greenpoint Tubes that began on July 25th to allow crews to make Fix&Fortify resiliency repairs to the damaged tubes, which were flooded during Superstorm Sandy nearly two years ago.
"Superstorm Sandy's devastating impact on our Subway network posed a challenge never before faced by our organization, however we rose to this challenge and are rebuilding our system better and stronger than before," said NYC Transit President Carmen Bianco. "The dedication of Transit personnel in rebuilding the Greenpoint Tubes and ensuring safe, reliable G train service for our customers is part of our continuing efforts to reinforce the system's infrastructure and safeguard the most vulnerable areas of our subway system for decades to come."
While Shuttle Buses ferried customers between Long Island City and Greenpoint, crews from every major division of the Department of Subways performed necessary repairs that included installing communication lines, laying down new track and third rail, repositioning signals, rebuilding tunnel infrastructure and performing station rehabilitation work.
"The timely restoration of G service and the infrastructure improvements completed during the shutdown is a testament to our team's hard work," said Joe Leader, Senior Vice President Department of Subways. "I thank each and every one of the hundreds of employees who worked so hard over the past five weeks to get the job done."
The tubes suffered extensive damage during Superstorm Sandy when three million gallons of salt water flooded the tunnel at the height of the storm. Tracks and equipment were totally submerged, and the tunnel's pump controls, electrical, communications, fan control and signal equipment all incurred serious damage.
Power cables immersed in salt water corroded from the inside, while corrosion on rails and fasteners increased the potential for delay-causing failures. The controls for ventilation, lighting and communication systems were all destroyed and have yet to be restored to their level of pre-Sandy reliability. While the MTA worked tirelessly to restore service as quickly as possible after the storm, it was immediately clear that future, more extensive work would be necessary to repair and rebuild these vital systems in order to ensure safe and reliable service.
Fix&Fortify work to return these and other components to pre-Sandy condition, while providing for improved resiliency and reliability, touched every aspect of the tunnel and its operations. Among the work completed prior to this morning's restoration of service:
• Installed over 14,000 feet of continuous welded rails (CWRs)
• Cleaned 9,000 feet of track
Third Rail Operations:
• Replaced 1,125 insulators
• Cleaned 9,000 feet of third rail
• Installed about 128,000 feet of cable and wire
• Removed about 27,000 feet of cables and wire
• Supported relocation of five signal locations in the flood zone and eight signal heads
Electronic Maintenance Division:
• Installed 17 new emergency alarms and telephones with diverse routing for improved reliability and survivability
• Installed 44 new telephone jacks
• Replaced integrated fiber optic cable
• Installed all new tunnel lighting and power receptacles between Greenpoint Av and 21 St – Van Alst Stations
• Completed over 2,500 feet of structural repairs
• Demolished and rebuilt 970 feet of duct bank
• Scraped and painted 43,580 square feet at 21 St – Van Alst
• Completed total rehabilitation of 14 stairways at 21 St – Van Alst
• Scraped and painted 52,700 square feet at Greenpoint Av
• Completed total rehabilitation of 14 stairways at Greenpoint Av
Rapid Transit Operations:
• Provided over 4,000 hours of construction flagging support
• Provided over 28,100 hours of work train operation support
• 602 work trains deployed
During the work, resiliency program management had the herculean challenge of scheduling and coordinating all the various work crews to ensure that not only did the work plan get completed, but that it was done so in as safe a manner as possible.
Sandy's damage to the subway system was historic. The Fix&Fortify project is designed to restore and rebuild damaged infrastructure and the delicate equipment that was submerged, while reducing the system's vulnerability in the event of future severe weather.
Overall, the MTA has been allocated nearly $3.8 billion in funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for repair, resiliency, and disaster relief work. In addition to the work inside the Greenpoint Tubes, the MTA's Fix&Fortify campaign will also address issues in other under river tubes to make the system more resilient. Planning and design work is also underway for flood mitigation at NYC Transit facilities in low-lying areas of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens as well as similar flood prevention and mitigation work at the entrances to several stations in Lower Manhattan.
Hopefully this work will stand up when the next major storm hits us as loss of service is a blow NYC can't really handle for long periods of time.

This LUXURIOUS HOME provides every comfort we can think of for our guests. You can relax indoors or outdoors in the tropical yards, the soft water system through out the home leaves your skin and hair feeling great! Ipod stations on every floor. Every comfort is thought of :)
I recently retired and wanted to have a weekend with family and a few close friends. I actually live in Santa Cruz, a block and a half from this wonderful house. I walked by it at least twice a day, walking my dog. I thought it would be perfect for the gathering, and it exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful inside, the kitchen is very user friendly, and it is landscaped very tastefully. Everyone had a great, relaxing time, with many walks to the nearby beach and the overlook of coast on East Cliff Dr. I also found the owner and the manager very accommodating, making the booking and arrangements very easy for me during the planning of this event. I highly recommend this rental, without reservation.
We had a small staff retreat gathering at this wonderful vacation home. The entire home and yard are so beautiful that everybody felt relaxed and happy to engage in our work conversations. The kitchen is especially beautiful with lots of space to cook as a group and visit together. It is well-stocked with all the appliances, including an amazing Wolf stove and oven, that anybody could want. Finally the owner and property manager are wonderful - they made everything easy!
The home was perfect ! exactly as we expected. Owners were very responsive. We have absolutely no complaints. We were a family of ages 70 to 7 months. We all wished we could have stayed longer !!!
Our weekend spent in this house was wonderful. The house and property are beautifully designed, and all of the zen details and extra amenities provided made for a comfortable and relaxing weekend enjoyed by all! The property manager was very accommodating and enjoyable to work with, and you could tell by the thoughtful design and decor that the owners also have great vibes. I highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again.
This is not your average beach rental home. Quality finishes throughout, very comfortable for larger groups/families, very nice backyard oasis, super convenient location on a quiet street/location. Manager and owner were a pleasure to deal with. For future visits to the Santa Cruz area, we will not need to search through the many listings.
What a great home for my family. I have 2 teenage boys and I put them in the basement which has 3 queen beds plus 2 couches, a pool table and a dart board. They had a great time. The whole house is well appointed and has a fantastic kitchen. The master bedroom was large and the showers are huge with great water pressure. The home also has an elevator if somebody requires this. The garage was stocked with boogie boards, wet suits, surf boards, sand toys, beach chairs and also 2 foosball tables. The home is a 2 minute walk to the beach. Monica was very easy to work with and made our stay very enjoyable. We would definitely come back.
The famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is just minutes away. Mountain terrain flows seamlessly to beach life. The Mystery Spot you must check out! Roaring Camp's train/amusement picnic area. Henry Cowell State Redwoods hiking trails and camping. Big Basin Giant Redwood forests. Tennis clubs throughout town, Off road Automobile terrain park, world class golf courses nearby.

He only voiced one character, and it was his normal speaking voice. Hey, Chris, maybe you can talk about how easy it is when you can fool the public into thinking eight different characters are done by eight different people. You've got seven more to go.
Point is, Chris Rock was hired because they wanted his regular voice. They wanted his CELEBRITY. They wanted people to hear that and not think "oh, this character is a quiet socially awkward bookworm with a beautiful heart," or "this is a cranky old wife who has to oppressively babysit her husband." Nor did they want them thinking "wow, totally psychotic girlfriend sidekick of a crimeboss kingpin," or "brooding mysterious superhero prominent in dark magic" or "stereotypical fantasy princess with a penchant for flippant racism."
No, they want to hear a loud annoying zebra and think "that's Chris Rock."
FYI: Tabatha St. Germain is best zebra, btw.
So of course he thinks it's easy. Because he hasn't been challenged yet. He wasn't hired for his talent or his range of voices. He was hired because of his ONE voice, do DO his one voice, and nothing more.
The smart thing to do would be to withhold judgment and speculation until more information comes in. So far, this appears to be just an iTunes edit. That is all we know. Based upon previous comments from both Hasbro and DHX Media, anybody who believes that Derpy is actually getting axed from the show are basing it off of their own kneejerk reaction to just one edited scene.
It happens. Especially in children's television; it happens a lot. However, the changes are usually done individually, not globally, as such sweeping changes made to ALREADY COMPLETED episodes would be far too costly.
Chill, peeps. It's just a show. "The Last Round-Up" was an awesome episode, too. An edit made to just ONE MINUTE doesn't negate the awesomeness of the remaining TWENTY-ONE minutes that follow. Better to have 96% of an episode intact than have all 100% banned into obscurity.
It's deliciously ironic how UNHELPFUL these vague rebuttals are. Way to validate the meme, bro.
I call bull. I can count several instances of this happening to myself and many others, and I'm positive "family emergency" wasn't the case for every single one of them.
Also, I am rolling on the ceiling, gurgling with euphoric ecstasy, at how awful this "teacher's" grammar is. No wonder kids these days can't speak English properly.
On top of that, this "teacher" admits they have perpetrated this. Way to TOTALLY VALIDATE the image there, genius. Students don't care WHY you're missing, they're just peeved THAT YOU'RE NOT THERE TO HELP THEM.
That's what makes this meme UNHELPFUL HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. You, sir or ma'am (or fraud), are UNHELPFUL. You said you would offer help, you abandoned your obligation, and regardless of the validity of your excuse, the fact still remains YOU WERE NOT THERE TO HELP THEM; ergo UNHELPFUL.
God, I'm loving these meme more and more.
The technical inadequacy of the average high school teacher is absolutely mind-boggling. As they say, those who can't do…teach. And those who suck at teaching…have tenure, na-na-naah, na-naah, naah.
Commented on Facebook Parenting
How much I'm counting my blessings right now.
Like any other teenager, I mouthed off, run off, stayed up late, snuck booze, smokes, even some hard stuff, tiptoed the tightrope of the law, and used the Internet to badmouth my dad at every twist, turn, corner, alcove, and textbox I could get my fingertips on. I hated him for how he'd snoop around my stuff, block Internet access, monitor my PC activity with ghost software, track my cell phone, and enslave me with an oppressive checklist of chores and jobs around the house.
I was what you'd consider a waste, a filthy sack of douchebag teenager, always acting out and doing everything in my power to irritate, anger, and infuriate my old man.
And not once did he take a pistol to my stuff, let alone break it. He would hide it, stash it out of my reach, put it in a storage unit, or donate it to charity. But he never pelted it with bullets.
Eventually, I leveled out, and grew to appreciate that fact about him, and now I respect him tremendously for having the restraint. Contrarily, this father could've done any of the above measures, but instead of using his words and proper means of punishment to make his point, he goes overboard to psychotic levels. Maybe I'm not as blessed as I think I am, maybe I'm just ordinary, but if this man's approach to pistol-laden parenting becomes the norm, then I sincerely fear for our future generations.

It doesn't matter whether you can vote twice, thrice, or a million times for the same GOP candidate. It doesn't change the fact that regardless of who you vote for, they're all purporting the exact same platform and political strategy. Even candidates as radical as Ron Paul are still shackled to the GOP's hivemind ideologue.
Case in point, I voted Obama in 2008 because I wanted a different breed of democrat, one who didn't buckle under pressure or resort to trivial tax-raising initiatives or wasteful spending. I wanted a candidate with promise and creativity. And Obama had it in excess. But he was still shackled to the whims of the democrat party, and with it, all the flaws I hoped he'd overcome.
It doesn't matter. The system is a complete joke. As long as we have checks and balances, and the President doesn't have as much influence as the legislative branch, we could have Rainbow friggin' Dash for President and we'd only see them as a facade for their supporting base.
The true hypocrisy of the image stems from the fact that the EPA was signed into existence by Republican President Richard Nixon. Judging by the context of this image, I doubt the author even knew that…

Commented on Paul Christoforo Ocean Marketing Emails
Words cannot describe how abhorred I am at this. Not at the fact that this is a completely unprofessional dolt working customer service, but because we live in a world with a rampant pool of unemployed persons far more qualified to handle customer service than this meaty no-neck jockstrap bully…and this guy is the one who got the job.
I'm glad he got canned. I'm sure he's gotten his welcome to the Internet, but I'll gladly extend his welcome to the unemployment system. After this, his best bet is to drive his cacophonous rice rocket full speed into a concrete wall and hope he can siphon some extra funds for protein shakes on disability, because there is no way any firm will sign him onto a payroll after this.
Talk about a phenomenal way to go out.
But there is a happy story to this. A very happy story. An abysmal tosser gets the boot, and a more capable, considerate soul will start receiving his paycheck. Internet, I am proud for outing and completely ruining this guy. Let it be a lesson that in a world as interconnected as our's (not to mention vigilant) customers will NOT get pushed around, and they have far more power than they used to. They don't need courts, warrants, wiretaps, or legal procedures to throw a bully off their pulpit. No.
They just need to give him a bit of "Free PR."
Commented on Zeitgeist 2011: Year In Review
I wonder if the popular media realizes Rebecca Black isn't ridiculed because she's popular, she's popular because she's ridiculed. Can't feel sorry for somebody who made millions off of making something so awful it's hilarious, but it does make me feel a little disheartened that one of the defining characteristics of 2011 was the "becoming a celebrity through others' scorn" phenomenon that is Rebecca Black. Does this mean that 2012 will be full of similar aspiring musicians making crappy music on purpose to piggyback on a similar phenomenon? I hope not.

Product description
For educators individually and collectively who aspire to implement a curriculum based on intellectual quality, and who recognize the importance of infusing the teaching of academic literacy across the curriculum, Pauline Gibbons' book provides inspiration and guidance. The wealth of classroom examples based on actual practice convincingly refutes the argument, reflected in much current practice, that EL and low-income students are incapable of benefiting from an intellectually challenging, inquiry-based curriculum. -Jim Cummins University of Toronto Deep understanding, critical thinking, subject knowledge, and control of academic literacy are goals we have for all our students. The challenge for teachers is to find a way of teaching that helps everyone, including English learners, to reach these high expectations. In English Learners, Academic Literacy, and Thinking, Pauline Gibbons presents an action-oriented approach that gives English learners high-level support to match our high expectations. Focusing on the middle grades of school, she shows how to plan rigorous, literacy-oriented, content-based instruction and illustrates what a high-challenge, high-support curriculum looks like in practice. Gibbons (author of Scaffolding Language, Scaffolding Learning) presents and discusses in detail five broad areas that enable English learners to participate in high-quality learning across the curriculum: engaging deeply with intellectual contexts developing academic literacy employing reading strategies and improving comprehension gaining writing independence and learning content-area genres using classroom talk to make sense of new concepts and as a bridge to writing. Based on these areas she then presents guidelines on designing long-term, high-quality instruction that simultaneously provides explicit scaffolding for English learners. Gibbons makes these guidelines an instructional reality through dozens of examples of rich activities and tasks that can be used across the curriculum and that support the learning of all students. English Learners, Academic Literacy, and Thinking supports teachers with doable plans for instruction, reflection questions for individual or group study together, and suggestions for further reading. The book is a valuable resource for inservice training and college courses and provides an ideal basis for a schoolwide response to the growing challenges of raising the achievement of English language learners.

Okay...bear bench is done...finally
It took a while to do because my kitty found out that it was a neat thing to play on. Well her fun came to an end as I finished it this past week. I'm still not sure what price to ask. Let me know how you like it. A landscape artist I'm not. Gail
Well, I'd say a landscape artist you are!! It looks fantastic! Love all the details like the fishing poles in the boat and the ax in the stump. The fish and geese and the bears by the cabin look realistic. The cabin itself is great. Love all the colors you used. The piney accents are perfect on the back. It's a great piece and wow, I think it will sell fast just like all your other pieces. Ya done good! Kitty will just have to find a new perch. ha :) ~Anj
OMG! Gail, your painting is wonderful. No way could I even come close to doing something like that! You definitely CAN paint landscapes! Like Anj said, the trees, fishing poles, bears, just all of it is so good. If I painted something like that, I don't think I could part with it! You really have a knack for finding the perfect patterns for your pieces too. Everything is gonna sell like hotcakes! Luvs
Thanks Anj and Luvs. I see artist at craft shows and I just wish I could paint as good as they do. I guess I'm good enough. I get anywhere from $75 to $90 for some of my chairs. I'd like to price the bench at $100. We'll see. My hubby and I set up my tent today to see if everything will fit and I think it's gonna work out fine. We are putting a strip of lattace at each front corner for the hanging things. I have a few fan blades so far and a couple signs. Not sure how much more I can get done. I'm running out of time. Gail
Hi Gracie, My show is in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. It's a tourist town north of Madison the capital. It's called Wo Zha Wa Days (which is indian for lets have fun). It's usually a 2 day event but this year it's been expanded to 3 days. It starts Sept. 14 and I'm hoping for good weather. The whole town has a big celebration with sidewalk sales, food tents, a parade and a run. There's an antique flea market and the craft show. The crafts is sponsored by the local art association which I have been a member of for 2 yrs. It's a juried show and there is no buy and sell allowed. It's a very big event as we get people from all over the state and surounding states. Last year was my first year and I think I sold 5 chairs. I'd like to do a little better this year. Besides my chairs I'm trying to get some signs and fan blades painted. I just painted a couple of canes too. It should be interesting. My whole summer has been building up to this. I think I'll be glad when it's over. Thanks for asking. Gail
Gail, We won't be glad when it's over. We have enjoyed the pics of your chairs as you have been finishing them. Gonna miss that.
Of course, maybe you will start right in getting ready for next year, or maybe you will be doing some painting for the holidays. Whatever you do, please keep coming by to chat with us.
Not even going to wish you luck on your show. Yours stuff is so neat it will sell itself. I just know you will have lots of people admiring your work--and I hope they will pull out their wallets and buy too!
Hi Gail,
I definitely know where Wis. Dells are. Took my kids there when they were young and just love it there. It's about a 5 hour drive for me, as I'm SW of Chicago. I didn't know about that event -- wish I could go, but I have a wedding on the 15th. Let me know ahead of time if you do it next year, and the date. Good luck to you.
One week to go and I'm still not ready. I still have a couple more signs I'm going to try to paint. Once the show is over I can relax, but I will still come to this forum. I have enjoyed posting here and reading what everyone else is doing. Come October we leave for Florida, our winter home. I bring my computer with and all my paints so you wont be getting rid of me :) Gail
Anj, thanks for bumping this!
That bear bench is just the cutest thing! It looks like there was a LOT of work in it. I hope Gail got a good price for all her hard work.
Gail, your painting skills are just amazing. How did you learn? How long have you been doing it? I'm also impressed with the fabulous design ideas you come up with. Have you got any tips on how you do that?

The Paradise Snare (Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy, #1)

bookshelves: science-fiction, space
Read in March, 2012
It has been a long time since I read a star wars book and this was a good choice to come back and read. I always thought that Han Solo was one of the better characters in the Star Wars series and having his back story explained was great. I do remember reading the second book in this series years ago and was glad that I finally got to read the beginning of this series.

If you set aside the half hour comedies, every show on that list is fairly heavily serialized. Heck even the comedies are more heavily serialized than almost anything before the late 1990s. You might disagree with the critics, but there is more or less agreement in the field that serialized is better.
Statistics are meaningless when taken out of context. In order to reach that conclusion, you'd have to show not only that the top-ranked shows are serialized, but that the lowest-ranked shows
. Otherwise you haven't demonstrated a meaningful correlation at all.
And that's definitely not the case, since there have been plenty of serialized shows that were just awful, such as
seasons 2-4 and the
remake, or that audiences haven't found interesting enough to keep on the air for more than a few weeks, like
. Serialization is preferred among
shows these days, so it's just as prevalent among the duds and disasters as it is among the hits.
Serialization isn't a magic bullet; like any other storytelling technique, it works when it's done well and fails when it's done badly. Too often, serialization is an excuse for lazy, unfocused storytelling with no direction in mind, or for dragging out a finite amount of story with huge amounts of padding, or for constantly baiting the audience with mysteries and questions but never giving them any satisfying answers. Format doesn't determine quality; execution does.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Tribal people demand their rights
Discrimination, encroachment are threatening peoples' way of life, protesters sayTribal people participate in a human chain program in Tangail district in central Bangladesh
- Sujon Jengcham, Tangail
- Bangladesh
- April 8, 2011
Around 160 Christians from Garo, Koach, Barmon and Rajbangshi ethnic tribal groups took part in the demonstration in Tangail in Mymensingh diocese on April 6.
They said they were fighting for the rights of about 40,000 tribal people living in the country's largest Sal-tree forest, Bhawal-Modhupur garh, whose traditional way of life, they say, is under threat.
At the protest they demanded tribal people be recognized as "indigenous groups" instead of "ethnic minorities" in Bangladesh's constitution.
A parliamentary committee currently reviewing the constitution has decided to classify tribal people as "ethnic minorities."
"The decision seems to be a slap in the face for indigenous people and also violates the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples," said Eugene Nokrek, president of the Joenshahi Indigenous Development Council.
Even though the 1885 Bengal Tenancy Act recognizes tribal people as indigenous groups, the government is not willing to do so, he lamented.
"In 2007 there was move to recognize us as indigenous groups, but now it's being left out," he added.
Norek also claimed tribal people living in the Sal forest area have seen a steady erosion of their rights over the past three decades.
"The Forest Department has nullified ancestral land records and served many eviction notices in order to build an eco-park," he said.
Media reports also say that in just five years, 8,100 hectares of forest were illegally leased to influential people.
Other reports claim a number of tribal people including some of their leaders were killed by land grabbers in collusion with Forest Department officials.
Tribal Garo housewife Shishilia Snal, 36, says she was shot by forest rangers a few years ago while she was collecting firewood and leaves in the forest.
"They [the Forest Department] don't consider us as human beings and often try to abuse us," she said.

Longevity Gene Found 358
from the you're-older-than-you've-ever-been dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
That's the sad myth of Tithonus [wikipedia.org]having the body of a 150 year old who would normally have died 80 years ago for 100 years is quite another. So be careful what you wish for when you ask for longer lifespans. Make sure you read the fine print first
I'm already planning for retirement such that I will be able to live off the interest alone, and in such a way that I won't be living off all the interest (so that the interest will grow with cost-of-living adjustments). That way, it won't matter how long I live past retirement - the longer I live, the more money I will have to live off of. This of course is based on more than one assumption:Living longer would mean you need more money to support yourself in retirement, or that you need to delay retiring. The second point depends on what health state (and mental state) you're in at an older age.

You know what? Eating healthy takes a little more effort and attention, but it actually tastes a hell of a lot better.
Just walking into a fast-food place now actually makes me a little nauseous. I know tastes vary -- hell, I used to love that stuff myself. But now it's, "Ye gods, how did I ever choke that crap down?"
It's like using real maple syrup after being raised using Maple-Flavored Pancake Topping. "Oh, this is what that other stuff is pretending to be."

Re: TNG in HD
I may be in a minority but I am a hardcore trek fan who is not interested in DVDs, so I don't care how much they charge for the DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray sets.
What I like to see is the HD version of Trek shows on some HD channel like HDNet, UHD, SciFi-HD, etc. I have been enjoying Enterprise on HDNet greatly and hopefully we get to see TOS-R on some HD channel soon. So Paramount/CBS, bring on the TNG-HD and charge whatever you want for the DVDs

While Britney Spears has been busy filming auditions as a new X Factor judge, her fiancé Jason Trawick was filming a little project himself. People reports that Trawick sent a loving and congratulatory video to Spears while in Texas. The message, which he made in bed, said, "Princess, we just completed our first weekend in Austin on X Factor. Just wanted to say I'm very proud of you and I love you so much. Congratulations." Spears surely appreciated the sentiment, as she took to Facebook to reply by writing, "Awww love you too Xoxo."

Buy this great book about antique furniture of old China. The arts and crafts of the second half of China's Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) are represented, with a brief nod to the early 20th century and the Art Deco influence in Chinese design. Included are the tools of the scholar, ancestor paintings, and other new categories, in addition to Chinese furniture, basketry, and cabinetry.
Newly fashionable Chinese furnishings and accessories from the 18th and 19th centuries are presented in nearly 600 full color photographs. Each piece is clearly described and set in its historical context. While appreciating the beauty of furniture designs of the late Qing dynasty, readers will be enriched by photographs of their places in ancient settings as well as in contemporary household interiors. Designers and decorators will be surprised to see how well these antique forms blend with and enhance contemporary decor.
