Google, Oracle Deny Direct Payments To Media 41
from the many-disappointed-critics 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).
Hopefully the pies that hit Oracle's lawyers will have hand grenades in them.
Fire one at the submitter and "editor" of TFA. That's a deceptive headline.
Oracle was forced to acknowledge paying Florian Mueller, and also stated:
"Certain Oracle employees may have blogged about issues relating to the case. See, e.g., https://blogs.oracle.com/hinkmond/ [oracle.com] (blogging about Java ME). Oracle did not ask or approve any of its employees to write about the case and does not track employee bloggers."
Note that Oracle's Social Media policy contradicts the statement:
Make Sure Your Management Approves
Please be aware that Oracle may choose to restrict social media activities that relate to your employment or Oracle's business.
Remember that you are not an official spokesperson for Oracle. Make it clear that your opinions are your own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the corporation. See Policy Regarding Communications with Press and Analysts.
For this reason, Oracle employees with personal blogs that discuss Oracle's business, products, employees, customers, partners, or competitors should include the following disclaimer in a visually prominent place on their blog:
"The views expressed on this [blog; Web site] are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Oracle."
By contrast, this is Google's statement:
"Our reply to the court is clear," Google said, "no one on our side paid journalists, bloggers, or other commentators to write about this case."
Adding features does not necessarily increase functionality -- it just makes the manuals thicker.

Sugar Cane hedge?
I was thinking of planting a privacy screen along a 60 ft. fence in the front of our property and am considering sugar cane. Does any one here grow it? It would receive full sun. I was told to wait till spring to plant it, so that gives me plenty of time to prepare the soil. Does it need fertile soil, or will it grow in our sandy soil? Will I need to cut it back every year? I like it because it's tall and nice and thick. Any advice will be appreciated!
I grow it here in the sandy soil with minimum amendments, but the frosts will kill it and it has to be replanted. What I've found is I can cut the stalks then protect the roots from frost with straw and it will come up again the next year. I don't think using it as a privacy screen would work well because the stalks die back in winter and fall over from the wind. To propagate it you chop up the stalk in the fall leaving two knuckles each section, dip the cut ends in melted wax to seal them so they will stay viable and not dry out until spring. I store them in a cool place, and plant them just under the surface lying flat in the spring. It may work different for you in zone 10.

Audra McDonald
While stars of films and television get most of the shine, some of the biggest talent in America is on Broadway, which will be honored at this year's Tony Awards on June 8. Here's our rundown of ten Broadway actors you should know.
Audra McDonald is a five-time Tony winner and might make history if she nabs another this year for her epic performance as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill. Although you may have seen her in Private Practice, McDonald prefers the stage over Hollywood. One of the most heralded actors on Broadway, if Audra is attached to a show, it's automatically a must-see.

The Bihar Human Rights Commission has issued a notice to Director General of Police Abhayanand and Nawada Superintendent of Police Lallan Mohan Prasad taking cognisance of newspaper reports about the police's failure to execute a warrant.
The reports highlighted that Nawada Police had not acted upon an arrest warrant against station house officer Vidhyanchal Prasad for the past three months. The police then reportedly raided the house of the journalist who brought the story to light.
"The chain of incidents, if true, reveals a concerted attempt on the part of Nawada Police to undermine not only the dignity of the individual referred to in the first news item but also the dignity and primacy of the judiciary. More disturbing is the fact that there is an attempt to muzzle the Press for reporting the matter and bringing it in the public domain. The action ex facie deserves to be deprecated and disapproved as being violative of the right of free speech and expression and, also, right to information which are facets of human rights," the notice states.
The Commission has sought a reply in two weeks. The notice was issued by Commission chairperson Justice S.N. Jha.

What does the Bible
Does the Bible say anything about the celebration of Easter? Let us first look at a few facts about the holiday. Although considered a religious-based holiday, secular businesses have a stake in promoting its continuation and observance. Here are some fast facts about the celebration.
Easter is the second biggest candy-eating holiday of the year for Americans. The most popular non-chocolate holiday related candy in the United States is Marshmallow Peeps. It is the fifth most popular holiday for sending holiday-related cards, with 57 million of them exchanged annually in the U.S. The most popular chocolate egg worldwide is Cadbury's Creme Egg. Amazingly, Americans consume 16 BILLION jellybeans during the Easter holiday.
The history of how we got this holiday is the history of how and why Christianity changed its foundational first century A.D. beliefs and practices to something entirely different. The early church abandoned its annual observance of the Christian Passover, instituted by Jesus himself according to the Bible, and adopted a celebration of his resurrection known as Easter Sunday.
When did it begin?
Briefly, the introduction of Easter Sunday first began in Palestine after Roman Emperor Hadrian ruthlessly crushed a Jewish rebellion known as the Barkokeba revolt (132-135 A.D.). After his victory Hadrian rebuilt the ruins of Jerusalem and expelled from it Jews and Jewish-Christians. He also enforced a policy prohibiting the practice of anything that resembled the Jewish religion (e.g. the keeping of a Christian Passover, Sabbath on Saturday, etc.). Jerusalem's Jewish-Christian bishops and members were replaced, as Eusebius tells us, with Gentile members and leaders (Eusebius: The Church History 4,6,4; Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, second series, vol. 1, page 178).
The new leaders of the church changed the traditional date of the Christian Passover (Nisan 14) to SUNDAY in order to separate and distance themselves from Jews and Jewish-Christians. Soon, many Gentile-Christian churches, including the church at Rome, adopted keeping Passover on a Sunday.

Tropicanna canna ?
peatpod(Z5b Ontario)April 7, 2005
Today when I attended a garden show .. I looked for some Tropicanna. Well the ones that the vendor was selling was labled as Tropicanna but the leaves were verigaated green. Are there two types???
Is there a possibility that the label was ÂTropicanna Gold and not just ÂTropicannaÂ? The ÂTropicanna Gold does have the green variegated foliage whereas ÂTropicanna has the red variegated foliage. Kent
peatpod(Z5b Ontario)
Im not sure Kent .. I asked if they had Tropicanna and thats what they showed me .. I didnt really pay any attention to the label other than the picture .. when I go back tomorrow I will take a peek :o)
To me it looked like a Bengal Tiger .. but now you have my curiosity peeked Kent.

RECIPE: Progressive Dinner: June 28
Here are this week's assignments. Substitutions are in paranthesis:
Appetizer: Wizard
1st Course: Dances
Soup: Meredith
Salad: Katiec
Entree: Gardenlad
Side 1: Shelley
Side 2: Annie (Shelley)
Dessert: Woodie (GardenLad)
I immediately thought of grilling for the entree. It is, after all, summer. But next week is the 4th, and I figure we'll likely have a cook out for the whole dinner. So I figured we'd have some fish this time.
This is more an approach than a specific recipe. You can easily substitute other fish for the snapper: tilapia works very well with this, for instance. All amounts are very approximate, because I never measure when preparing this dish.
Snapper Filets In Parchment
For each serving:
1 snapper filet
2-3 tbsl anchovy butter
1/2-3/4 cup tomato relish
Cut parchment paper into a folded semi-circle or the more traditional heart shape. Open flat. Lightly butter the paper.
Lay a snapper filet against the fold. Spread the anchovy butter over the fish. Top with the tomato relish.
Fold over the paper and seal by crimping along the edge, with each crimp overlapping the next. Give the final point a twist or two.
Bake in a 350 degree oven about 20 minutes.
To serve, put entire package on a serving plate and cut open the top of the parchment, being careful not to scald yourself with the escaping steam.
Anchovy Butter
1 stick butter, softened
1 tin anchovy filets (approx 8)
Mash the anchovy filets into a paste. Mix thoroughly with the butter.
Lay the butter on a piece of plastic wrap. Roll into a tight log, tying the ends. Chill until firm. May be frozen, in which case it keeps forever.
Tomato Relish
1-2 tbls each fresh mint and broad-leaf parsley
1/2 cup balsomic vinegar
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Crush herbs in a morter and pestle, or minch very finely.
In a small skillet, bring vinegar to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half. Add tomatoes and cook until warmed through.
Here's a really nice dessert that was adapted from an 18th century cookery manuscript:
Colonial Apple Cake
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup shopped nuts
4 cups chopped raw apples
1 cup raisins
Cream shortening & sugar. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Stir in apples, nuts & raisins. Put batter in a 9 x 13 metal pan and bake about 50 minutes in a 350 F oven until done.
I am not sure if this qualifies as a first course, but I had this recently at a restaurant and it was very good and refreshing even for it's seeming simplicity.
It was a small glass of tomato juice, rimmed with exotic sea salt. It was served in a bowl of shaved ice with a lime wedge and a mixture of some ground black pepper (apparently an expensive variety but I don't remember the type), and celery seed sprinkled over top.
A small sprig of celery was placed across the rim like a bridge and a borage blossom perched atop that. Borage blossoms taste a bit like cucumber, by the way LOL. I think in place of borage blossoms (which would be hard to obtain unless you grow them yourself) you could make a rosette out of a paper thin ribbon of cucumber. Another idea might be a chive blossom. Different flavour but very pretty, and onion would not be out of place with the other flavours.
It was simple but so refreshing, and the lime juice and salt really made the tomato flavour pop. Very pretty and the colours were phenomenal against the shaved ice.
The diners that were so inclined were served a single, perfect, raw oyster on ice along with their juice. A squeeze of lemon, a drop of hot sauce, and down it went LOL. Not me. But if you are an oyster lover, there you go!
It qualifies from where I sit (which is mostly at the dinner table); particularly with the oyster.
Overall it sounds like a very sophisticated Virgin Mary.
BTW, not only is borage easy to grow, it helps your tomatoes, because it repels the adult of the tomato horned worm.
Make this as fancy as you want, you could serve on endive, spread on those little small square slices of bread or just with your favorite crackers.
Chutney Shrimp Spread
12 oz. cream cheese
1/3 C sour cream
1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 C chutney
1 C cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
Place cream cheese, sour cream,garlic powder and chutney in bowl of food processor. Process to combine but don't over process as you want small pieces of the chutney to show.
Place in small bowl and stir in shrimp.
Chill and serve with crackers. Makes about 2 cups.
Hi everybody - I'm home and I guess I over stated my time away! I should have taken on the dessert course, but thanks GL! Next time you need to, you can give me two or more assignments to make up :-)
This menu sounds delicious so far.
My MIL used to serve either a glass of tomato juice or a perfectly sectioned 1/2 grapefruit with a half cherry on top as the starter at the table for every single dinner that she ever served in her life!
GL - your spies were incorrect - it was in Killarney that I danced in the streets, not Dublin! (Well, actually, the entire town dances in the streets all night long every Friday and Saturday nights - ask me how I know? I was in a second floor hotel room on the main street right on top of a pub on Saturday night.)
I didn't bring home any recipes but they sure have great vegetable soup over there - they puree root veggies and it is always very savory - every single pub and restaurant has it on their menu, each slightly different but all delicious.
A rice dish would be nice for a side....
Polynesian Rice Mingle
3/4 c wild rice
1 1/4 c Uncle Bens long grain rice
2/3 c butter (I use 1/2 c)
4 c chicken stock
dash garlic salt
3 tbsp minced green onions
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 c coarsley chopped macadamia nuts, (cashews are good too)
chopped parsley
Put wild rice and white rice in casserole dish and pour boiling water over to cover. Let sit 30 min, then strain rice and rinse well. Melt the butter in a large casserole
, add drained rice and stir over med heat until all the butter is absorbed, about 5 min. Pour chicken stock over rice and sprinkle with garlic salt, green onion and soy sauce. Stir well, cover and refridgerate up to two days or overnight. On day of serving, remove casserole from fridge two hours before baking. Stir rice, and bake at 375F for 1 1/2 hours , tightly covered. Seal container with foil under lid. When done, stir and sprinkle with nuts and parsley, garnish with orange slices if you wish.
Serves 8-10
For a side I think we'll go with this one. Quite flavorful, can use fresh veggies from the garden, and low in fat to boot!
Baked Mediterranean Veggies - serves 4
1 small eggplant cut into 1 inch cubes
1 large red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
1 med zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 small red onion cut in wedges
2 garlic cloves sliced
2 bay leaves
1 tsp basil
1 tsp rosemary
salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
6 oz jar marinated artichoke hearts, drain and reserve marinade
Oven 400F (see note). In a shallow baking dish, combine veggies with garlic, bay leaves, and seasonings. Drizzle with olive oil and artichoke marinade. Bake 40 min stirring every ten minutes until veggies are fork tender. Cut artichoke hearts into 1/2 inch pieces and stir into veggies. Bake 5 min more and discard bay leaves.
Note: Either cook longer and at same temp as the fish, or cook just before fish, cover and serve warm or room temp, or cook on the bbq.
I love both asparagus and crab-this soup is a good combination of the both. It comes from Pick of the Crop, Two, a local cookbook.
Crab and Asparagus Soup
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1 T. butter
1/2 t. curry powder
2 10 3/4-ounce cans cream of asparagus soup
2 7 1/2-ounce cans crabmeat
1 pint half-n-half
1/4 c. sherry
In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter. Stir in curry powder mixing well. Add soup, crabmeat, and half-n-half; simmer until heated, but do not boil. Pour in sherry; simmer additional 5 minutes. Can add 1 10-ounce can of asparagus, drained and mashed.
Whoops...I was sure I posted this. Sorry folks, too late for the Summary, but...
This simple salad is a favorite when we have fresh green beans. I was freezing beans and cauliflower and had a handful each of blanched vegies...it's a great combination. Sometimes I toss in a little sweet onion.
Cauliflower and Green Bean Salad
Equal parts cauliflower and green beans, cut to bite size
Italian dressing
Blanch cauliflower and beans in boiling water for three minutes. Plunge into cold water and drain. Dress with Italian dressing and chill for at least two hours.

I listened to this one as an Audible book. I would have liked the story to move along more quickly than it did. I am not one who enjoys great detail. However, the characters were fleshed out and the Kennedy assassination and its alternative in time travel were very detailed and interesting. I wanted to get to the end to see what transpired, I just wish it'd been sooner to get there. Stephen King is not for me.
Probably everyone knows about the Kennedy assassination in 1963. It is very likely that it was Lee Harvey Oswald who fired the shots at the first Catholic American president in Dallas, Texas. In 11.22.63 Stephen King sets out to imagine a world in which the assassination can be prevented by traveling back in time and stopping Lee Harvey Oswald. This is exactly what protagonist Jake Epping, an English teacher from Maine, tries to do in the novel. He leaves 2011 behind and travels back in time to the America of 1958. Five years before the fateful day of 11/22/63 Jake Epping starts to enjoy his life in the past and falls in love with a librarian. As the day of the assassination is slowly approaching, the obstacles to the protagonist's mission start becoming bigger and bigger. It seems like the past does not want to be changed.
As I like Stephen King's writing, this is of course something that I also enjoyed in this novel. Generally the plot was very clear right from the beginning so the interesting thing was how King enriched the plot with small events, the characters and their development. At times he manages to enthrall the reader but then again there are also passages that you just read to get on with the novel. The characters were actually quite round and provided much room for good twists and turns.
A very important issue in this novel is obviously time-traveling, the butterfly effect and bringing together separate strings of time. In this respect I had expected a little more depth. King rather focuses on what the world is like and what happens than spending time ruminating about typical questions about time-traveling: What if I meet myself because I will only be born in a couple of years? What if I change the world in a way that I will never be born? Should I go back to the present then? Will I die when I go back? So if you expect answers to questions of this kind, you will probably be disappointed in the book. It is more about showing what life is like in the two different 'worlds' and (re-)creating these worlds with as much detail as possible.
I liked 11.22.63 quite a bit, it was sometimes a little bit too long-winded. For that reason, I'll only give the book 3.5 stars.
The sentence above is this novel in a nutshell, the rest is just filler, to make it an engaging story, to drag us in and make us stay till the end to see what does happen: does Jake prevents the assassination of JFK? And if he does, what will happen to the present? Along the way he saves a couple of other people. And some other people die, Jake makes some vital errors and learns there are consequences to changing history. I'm not saying anymore. SPOILERS
This is only the third Stephen King novel I've read. I'm not really into supernatural horror. I read CUJO, which scared the living daylights out of me and changed my view of St. Bernards forever; I recently read The Shining, which didn't scare me much; and this book.
On the surface this is a time travel book, but underneath it is much more, the book is like an onion, you have to keep the peeling the layers to find out what's at the center of it, and sometimes you don't want to peel because you know it will make you cry, but you can't stop. There are some paranormal elements to this book, after all Jack is traveling back in time through a passageway in a storage room. But it's not scare paranormal, the horror scary moments come from real people. The story moves slow at times, then races forward with incredible speed. A bit like life. And through everything I was hooked, I wanted to know how everything ended.
High school teacher Jake Epping is stupefied when his buddy Al invites him over to his trailer and demonstrates an otherworldly discovery: Invisible stairs lead down from his pantry into the year 1958. Al reveals that he's taken several trips back himself already, intending to right a monumental wrong, but now that his health is failing he needs Jake to step in and complete this world-changing mission.
An engaging, entertaining read -- definitely a page-turner. Jake's smugness was kind of irritating, but he was an otherwise fairly likable guy whom the reader will root for. The disastrous final chapters came across as a bit over-dramatic, but having never experienced the effects of time-travel myself, what do I know? King could be right!
This book is long. But it is fantastic, well thought out and delivered. Stephen King is a gifted writer and story teller.
It all adds up to one of the best time-travel stories since H. G. Wells. King has captured something wonderful. Could it be the bottomlessness of reality? The closer you get to history, the more mysterious it becomes. He has written a deeply romantic and pessimistic book. It's romantic about the real possibility of love, and pessimistic about everything else.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? The author's new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination. In this novel that is a tribute to a simpler era, he sweeps readers back in time to another moment, a real life moment, when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history. Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students, a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night fifty years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk. Not much later, Jake's friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane, and insanely possible, mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake's new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life, a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.… (more)

Russell Brand SENTENCED for iPhone Smash
by Big Mo
posted Jul 27 2012 12:33AM
Russell Brand
will NOT go to jail for smashing a paparazzo's iPhone in New Orleans a few months ago ... after cutting a deal with prosecutors early this morning.
We broke the story ... the New Orleans District Attorney charged Brand with misdemeanor criminal damage for throwing the phone through a glass window during a heated confrontation back in March.
Brand's attorney plead NOT GUILTY on the actor's behalf this morning -- but the two sides worked out a deal in which the case will be dismissed if Brand pays $500 in court fees and performs 20 hours of community service by August 31.
It's a good deal for Brand ... who was facing up to 6 months in jail if convicted.
Brand's attorney says the actor plans to satisfy his community service by working with people battling addiction.

We stayed in Amethyst for 3 nights in Jan 2014 with our adult son. Amethyst is one floor up from ground level (no lift but easy stairs) Two separate BRs and 2 shower rooms, master was ensuite, and 2nd shower room just outside BR2's door. This is further down Zugspitzstrasse (make a right at the Cure All Irish Pub and walk down Bandstrasse to #27).

I'm very pleased to announce that John Klima's Spilt Milk Press will be bringing out a chapbook of my stories in Summer 2007. We're still working out the contents, but under John's expert editorial eye I'm confident the result will be worthwhile.
If you don't know, John publishes the excellent zine Electric Velocipede, home to more than one of my past stories, not to mention showcase for fine work by Hal Duncan, Mark Rich, Jeffrey Ford, Richard Bowes, Alan DeNiro, and many, many others.
More details as they emerge!
Yes, here I am at Readercon 17, making a quick post from my lovely hotel room.
I met bobhowe at Logan Airport, each of us having flown their separately, and then we made the quick drive to Burlington together in a rented car. After checking into our rooms, we met in the hotel pub for some lunch and a couple of beers. We also chatted briefly there (and afterward at con registration) with Jeff Ford, Patrick O'Leary, Paul Witcover, and Scott Edelman.
(I had to stop at two beers, considering that I will be reading to an audience of hopefully multiple persons in about 90 minutes.)
At registration I was happy to see that this afternoon's schedule had been rearranged enough that Mary Turzillo and I will be reading consecutively instead of at the same time. Mary is reading at 4:00 pm, and I'm reading at 4:30 pm. If you're here, come on down! At Laura's suggestion, I will be recording my reading to the laptop for my podcast.

I'm very excited, and will offer more details as the date gets closer. Hope to see you there!

Which pipes for new home build?
We're building a new home in Atlanta that will be on municipal water. The house will be about 4000 SF with a full basement and two levels above. We're trying to decide between copper, PEX and CPVC. I've been reading about the differences and I'm leaning toward PEX with homeruns and manifold. But I understand that you can't use a recirculating pump for instant hot water with PEX. I'm not sure how necesary this will be, but I'd love to not have to waste so much water waiting for hot water. Is this less of an issue with PEX, or if not, are there any solutions? Appreciate any feedback.
I have PEX in my home and Love it. The water heater is situated just below the master bedroom so in the morning I never have to wait for HW. I do have to wait at the kitchen sink which is about 30 feet away and it is only a problem when using the dishwasher. I let the water run in the sink for about 20 secs til I get HW at the sink, this way the dishwasher gets HW right away. PEX is naturally insulating, but if the water sits 24hrs between usage, it will obviously be cold.
So why can't you use a recirc pump with a PEX system? If you run a separate recirc line, why not?
Take Care,
The problem with the recirc pump isn't with PEX, it's with the home run to a manifold design. You can use PEX with a branch design system also - which will work with a circ pump.
Design your plumbing so that you aren't wasting water or energy. Avoid long hot water runs, insulate all hot water pipes and consider a small, point of use heater in series with the main heater for those runs that are long and isolated - such as a kitchen or a master bath. A circ pump that is on for a minimal amount of time can save water- but be sure that all of the lines, including the return line, is insulated.
I don't think anyone would say PEX is "naturally insulating" if their main water line was 30' of PEX over an uninsulated garage and they lived in So. Louisiana. It's common in new construction, and I can't believe it isn't a code violation. Sleeving it with those little foam tubes is futile. The only thing that gives some relief is to roll R30 batts above and below it. That really does improve on the 30 sec of 120F water that otherwise comes out of the cold water line on hot summer days when you don't use the faucet every 20 minutes or so...

This tense, violent, cynical and mocking film manages at the same time to be a prophetic social critique of the Milan crime scene: "If they carry on like this, we're going to have to set up an Anti-Mafia Directorate in Milan too".

DEFINITION of 'Debt Limitation'
A bond covenant that limits or restricts any additional debt that may be incurred by the issuer. Debt limitations look to protect the current lenders by maintaining the firm's degree of leverage.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Debt Limitation'
A debt limitation may take a variety of forms, depending on the circumstances of the debt issue. For financially sound firms, lenders may only want to maintain the current levels of leverage and implement a covenant relating to the debt-service coverage ratio. This would allow the firm to borrow more funds when it increases its net income.
If the firm appears risky, lenders may not want it to incur additional debt. The covenant may specify a maximum level of debt, despite any growth in operations. In more extreme cases, the lenders may demand that no additional debt be incurred until their bonds are repaid.

Ortahisar (middle castle) is the oldest part of Trabzon, with several ancient mosques, and some nice old houses to look at from the outside, but you can't see them too closely, as all the best ones are now government offices. Good views can be had from the bridges crossing the ravines into Ortahisar.
Russian Bazaar
Between the port and the bus station is a rather seedy area of cheap hotels and restaurants, as well as a long blue warehouse-type structure...this is the Avrupali Pazari, usually translated as Russian Bazaar. This is interesting to see traders from Russia and ex-Soviet republics, and you can find some typical souvenirs, such as Russian dolls and the odd tin of Caspian caviar. Most of the stalls sell things you can find in other markets in Turkey, although there does seem to be a very large number of stalls selling women's hair dye!

French citizens of all stripes are part of a "national community" that transcends religion, village and country of origin, she said. "We cannot accept this opposition or violence of one group over another within a national community in Paris."
WASHINGTON (RNS) National leaders must dispute claims that there is a clash of civilizations in the world, the president said during a second-day speech at the White House Summit on Confronting Violent Extremism.
WASHINGTON (RNS) "No religion is responsible for terrorism — people are responsible for violence and terrorism," Obama told delegates at the White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism.
(RNS) Civil rights and religious groups are asking the Obama administration to rid federal agencies of anti-Muslim bias.
(RNS) The disinterest in the suffering of Iraqi Christians has been a bipartisan travesty.
(RNS) "I think standing outside the White House will make a difference," said Sister Eileen Campbell of the Sisters of Mercy, joining others in an act of civil disobedience to protest deportations and seek relief for 11 million immigrants living illegally in the country.
Protestors led by the Family Research Council rallied outside the White House in support of Meriam Ibrahim, a Christian woman in Sudan who was sentenced to death for marrying a Christian.
(RNS) What will the two leaders talk about? What issues will they avoid? With Pope Francis, anything is possible, but here are some initial ideas on how the summit could play out.
