A Free Market in Immigration by Jacob G. Hornberger March 31, 2006 Once again, the federal government is proposing immigration "reforms" to address the immigration woes that confront our country. The proposals in Congress include extending a fortified "fence" (for some reason, government officials shy away from using the word "wall") along the Southern border, criminalizing illegal residency, criminalizing assistance given ...

I Celebrated Christmas in a Detention Center by Jacob G. Hornberger March 10, 2006 Some 30 years ago, I celebrated Christmas in a detention center outside my hometown of Laredo, Texas. The center was entirely devoted to holding illegal aliens, almost all of whom were from Mexico. Before I share this experience with you, I need to place the situation in a larger context. If this background context, however, begins to bore you, ... [click for more]
Government Perpetuates the Underclass by Sheldon Richman January 25, 2006 Sunday's New York Times ran a depressing story about a new study showing that day laborers, most of whom are "illegal aliens," are often stiffed by employers. Of course, they're already working in dangerous low-paid construction jobs. The Times reported, "Forty-nine percent of those interviewed said that in the previous two ... [click for more]
Socialism and Empire, Not Immigration, Are Destroying America by Jacob G. Hornberger May 20, 2005 A friend recently sent me an article written a couple of years ago entitled "How to Destroy America," which provided an account of a Washington, D.C., "immigration-overpopulation conference filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds and leaders." According to the article, Richard D. Lamm, former governor ... [click for more]
Minuteman Project Is a Fraud by Sheldon Richman May 4, 2005 If people who make up the Minuteman Project really want to do something for their country, they should devote their energies to getting rid of the stifling welfare state.

Are Illegal Immigrants Criminals? Not! by Ken Schoolland March 1, 2005 I hear it from some of the nicest people one would ever meet. Some dear friends of mine, whom I respect very much, say that all illegal immigrants are criminals because they broke the laws that control who may come into this country. And since these immigrants are criminals, we don't want that kind of person here. Such accusations confuse ... [click for more]
Why No Indictment for Bernard Kerik? by Jacob G. Hornberger December 15, 2004 Amidst all the hubbub over Bernard Kerik's decision to remove himself from consideration as director of Homeland Security owing to his reported hiring of an illegal-immigrant nanny, no one, including the press, seems to be asking an important question: Why aren't the feds seeking a criminal indictment against ...

Men Without a Country by James Castagnera October 22, 2004 A 19th-century writer, Edward Everett Hale, once published a story called "The Man without a Country."

In Defense of Open Immigration by Anthony Gregory October 1, 2004 Immigration is one of the most difficult and divisive issues for freedom lovers. Many principled libertarians and champions of a free society believe in government restrictions on immigration, either for their own sake or as an interim measure so long as the United States has welfare programs that are presumed to attract immigrants, who then become net recipients of ...

Bush Worker Plan Betrays American Ideals by Sheldon Richman January 9, 2004 In proposing a temporary worker program, President Bush promised to reassess "the standard of knowledge in the current citizenship test… must ensure that new citizens know…the ideals that have shaped our history."

Human Smuggling Is Morally Good by Scott McPherson December 19, 2003 A great deal of moral criticism is leveled worldwide at the often brutal and unsavory business of human smuggling.

Assimilation's the Problem by Jeffrey A. Singer October 24, 2003 This article was originally published in the October 20, 2003 edition of the East Valley Tribune.

Inadequate dNTPs
An incorrect concentration of deoxynucleotidetriphosphates (dNTPs) can cause problems for the PCR procedure. The usual dNTP concentration is between 40μM and 200μM of EACH of the four dNTPs. Excessive dNTP concentrations can inhibit the PCR preventing the formation of product. However, concentrations up to 400 μM each dNTP have been reported to work adequately. Low primer, target, Taq, and dNTP concentrations are preferable as these generally ensure cleaner product and lower background. For longer PCR-fragments a higher deoxynucleotidetriphosphate concentration may be required. A large change in the dNTP concentration may require a corresponding change in the concentration of MgCl2.Edited by: David Rodríguez-Lázaro "I would recommend this text to anyone" (AJMS); "an excellent, detailed guide" (Emerg. Inf. Dis.) read more ...An indispensable manual on real-time PCR for scientists in the food industry and for anyone involved in the detection of foodborne pathogens. | |

Maternity blues in Athens, Greece: a study during the first 3 days after delivery. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17011042 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Although maternity blues have been studied in many countries worldwide the factors that influence the occurrence of this clinical entity are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence, time course and symptomatology of maternity blues in a Greek urban environment as well as the relation of maternity blues with certain clinical and sociodemographic factors. METHOD: A study of a sample of 402 women that were recruited during the first day after delivery. Each woman completed the Kennerley's Blues Questionnaire on a daily basis for the first 3 days of puerpartum. Clinical and sociodemographic data were obtained through questionnaires and personal interview. RESULTS: 179 (44.5%) women experienced severe maternity blues during the first 3 days after delivery. Delivery by caesarian section (P=0.006), stressful events during pregnancy (P=0.02), depressive feelings the last month prior to delivery (P=0.002), anxiety on the day of delivery (P=0.001) and hypochondriasis (P=0.001) were the factors that were found to relate significantly to maternity blues. CONCLUSION: The women's emotional condition prior and after delivery, delivery via caesarotomy, as well as fears concerning somatic health had strong impact on the occurrence of maternity blues. |

That one in the lower left of the brochure is the one we have. Subaru gasoline engine. We get about four hours of diving on a half gallon of gasoline. I have three regulators, and Brownies supplied me with the hoses cut in 20 ft. lengths. I can put three people to sixty-seventy feet but typically won't. Almost all the fun stuff to see is shallower than 30 ft. I give them a 20 ft. hose until I can acertain how comfy they are breathing underwater. That's plenty good for lots of fun reef diving, etc. down to 10-12 ft. If it's someone who knows what they are doing, another diver, etc. I can clip more hose on in 20 ft. sections. as needed. 40 ft. of hose will get you below two atmospheres, but just barely and you have to work at it. On the other hand, if I need to bounce down to a hundred feet, I can do that, too. Rarely happens.
Time at depth is one of the aspects of hookah diving that can get you in trouble without training. You could easily go to 50 ft. and be there for hours...this is something that needs an experienced diver to take control of.

Birmingham City manager Chris Hughton hopes towering forward Nikola Zigic remains at the club at least until the end of the season.
The 31-year old, who netted twice in Birmingham's 2-1 win over Ipswich Town last night, is being linked with a January departure from St Andrew's but Hughton is looking for him to remain in the Midlands.
"When you're that tall you're never going to be the quickest, but he's mobile and he will put himself around.
"There's always going to be the frustrating bits with Nikola, but he's a lad who really wants to do well, to play and to score goals. People will be surprised by the distance he covers in a game.
"He's a player who's taken longer to get up to speed, because of what he's missed (due to injury).
"He is what he is, and what he is here is somebody who scored two goals and won the game.
"There are going to be some frustrations in his game, but if we can get a good enough service to him he'll certainly work hard to make things happen.""If he ends up staying past the end of January, then I'll be delighted. I think he's a lad who's happy here, settled in well with his family," he said.

In a late night vote on New Year's Day, the House of Representatives approved a bill (H.R. 8) agreed to earlier in the day by the Senate, averting the so-called fiscal cliff. "While far from perfect and long overdue, this legislation does accomplish several long sought after initiatives permanently cutting taxes for most Americans, including over four million New Jersey taxpayers," said Smith, who voted for the compromise legislation. "The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill reduces taxes by $3.92 trillion over 10 years." First, H.R. 8:
Secondly, a number of important business provisions were incorporated in the fiscal cliff agreement bill including the 50 percent bonus depreciation rules for property placed in service before the end of 2013 and an extension of Section 179 tax code rules that allow small businesses to more quickly recover the cost of certain capital expenses. Third, in one highly debated portion of the bill, H.R. 8 extends through the end of fiscal year 2013 almost all of the existing federal farm policy provisions—thereby preventing farm policy from reverting to a 1949 farm law that would have dramatically increased the price of milk. Fourth, the legislation did not fully deal with sequestration and most spending cut issues, instead postponing for two months automatic cuts to government spending that were set to occur on January 2, 2013. The total automatic sequestration for 2013 was estimated to be $109 billion divided between defense spending and non-defense discretionary spending. While postponing sequestration, H.R. 8 did offset $24 billion, reducing this year's current sequestration to $85 billion. "While we have come to an agreement on many of the key sticking points regarding taxes, it is now my hope that the Obama Administration can begin bargaining seriously and present significant spending cuts that can be implemented in order to bring deficit spending under control," Smith said. And finally, the bill extends modifications of the child tax credit (retaining the $1,000 level), education-related credits, most tax credits for home owner energy efficient initiatives, and prohibits any pay increase for members of Congress, thereby continuing the pay freeze first initiated in 2009. Overall, the House and Senate's Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the bill would reduce taxes by $3.92 trillion over 10 ten years:
NJ residents affected by H.R. 8:
"President Obama and Sen. Harry Reid have refused to enact meaningful spending reductions to tackle the record debt that threatens the nation," Smith said. "Under Majority Leader Reid's leadership, the Senate never passed a budget. In only two months, we again approach the fiscal cliff, and I hope we can progress to a reasonable solution that addresses the out-of-control debt."

Hi, got a boat for sale?
Hi all. Just joined, but have been sailing for over 25 years. Right now I have a Columbia 24 that needs repairs. The mast step leaked and I need to rebuild. Not an extensive job, but it demoralized me since my job leaves me no time to conduct repairs.
However, I have received orders to Newport, RI and I plan to buy and live aboard rather than give my housing allowance over to rent. I just reserved a slip at the Newport base marina and got a loan application approved with USAA. Now I just need one of these: Alberg 37 Bristol 40 Block Island 40 I hope to see you around the forum. |

Can fasting help purge the body of toxins? | related questions Originally Published: August 30, 2002 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: November 11, 2008 |
Share this |
Dear Alice,
Is it really true that fasting can help purge the body of toxins? Is fasting safe? I find all kinds of contradictory information about this on the web.
Thanks for your help.
Just Wondering
Dear Just Wondering,
To some people, it seems logical that fasting, or not eating, helps the body to rid itself of harmful substances, including the toxins you mention. People fast in various ways and for various reasons: fasts can be limited to only juice, water, or herbal tea, for example, and may be done for religious, political, or health reasons, to name just a few. Fasts are often fads, or part of a "health regimen" or a week away "healing" program. Although many people can withstand one day of fasting, as in some religious practices, extended periods may prove unsafe for most others. Fasting is highly unwise for people with eating disorders or impaired immune systems. It is also not recommended for elderly persons, children, or pregnant women. The "health" part of fasting is more myth than fact. In fact, denying yourself nutrients can actually work against you.
To help understand why, a lot can be learned from taking a moment to investigate the body's own detoxification process. The human body is quite ingenious. It was designed to have two major pathways to eliminate harmful substances. First are the immune tissues of the intestinal tract, and second are the enzymes of the liver. Did you know that the intestinal tract generates about 70 percent of our antibodies? These little heroes attach themselves to many of the bacteria, toxins, and viruses that enter our bodies, inactivate them, and prevent many from being absorbed, helping to protect us against infection and illness.
Harmful substances that slip by the intestinal detoxification system are delivered to the liver. This second pathway has two detoxification phases: (1) various transformations occur preventing the perilous substances from creating harm to our bodies; (2) another series of reactions occur, causing these substances to become less toxic. They are then excreted from the body in urine and feces.
So, how does fasting influence the body's detoxification processes? Our nutritional status affects the body's ability to manufacture antibodies and enzymes, and the liver's ability to detoxify. Fasting deprives the body of the raw materials — sufficient calories, proteins, and certain vitamins and minerals — needed to make antibodies and enzymes. Eating keeps our immune system strong.
In addition, specific phytochemicals (naturally occurring plant chemicals in vegetables and fruits) assist in the detoxification pathways, including the following examples:
Indoles, found in broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and other cruciferous (cabbage family) vegetables, are helpful in the liver's first phase.
The liver's second phase is enhanced by isothiocyanates and dithiolthiones, also found in cruciferous vegetables, and by limonoids, found in citrus fruits. These phytochemicals help block carcinogens from damaging our cells' DNA (thereby protecting us against cancer). Compounds in garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, and the spice cumin also enhance phase two of the liver's detoxification system.

Energy Group CEZ Rejects Regulatory Noncompliance in Bulgaria
Prime Minister Boyko Borisov announced at a Tuesday press conference that CEZ would have its license revoked by the end of the day. Photo by EPA/BGNES
Czech energy group CEZ has argued that its activity in Bulgaria is in line with all regulatory and statutory requirements and there is no reason for a withdrawal of its license.
CEZ Spokesperson Barbora Pulpanova told Czech News Agency (CTK) that the company resolutely rejected any misconduct that could in theory lead to the start of a procedure for revoking the power distributor's license.
Pulpanova, as cited by dnevnik.bg, further noted that CEZ also opposed the politicization of the issue against the backdrop of the forthcoming parliamentary elections in Bulgaria.
Meanwhile, asked to comment on the growing discontent of Bulgarians over high electricity prices, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov announced at a press conference on Tuesday that CEZ would have its license revoked by the end of the day.
He emphasized that he was against the nationalization of power distributors in the country.
Peter Baran, Chief Operating Officer of CEZ Bulgaria, issued a media statement saying that the company had not breached the Public Procurement Act.
He informed that the company had been fined with BGN 15 000 and three of its employees had been issued 12 statements of administrative offence after an inspection of the Public Financial Inspection Agency (PFIA).
Baran made clear that the penalty had been imposed over the company's failure to hold a public procurement procedure to select an auditing company, while the statements of administrative offence had been issued over delayed submission of information concerning public procurement, a legally unfounded procedure for negotiating measures for improving the power distribution network, and failure to report information on an implemented contract to the Public Procurement Agency.
He emphasized that the PFIA probe had not identified breaches of the Public Procurement Act in the supplies and services between related companies CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD and CEZ Bulgaria.

Creative mom explores how to live a sustainable life with a focus on food.
Let's get Earth Day over with so we can get back to education and action
As marketers use Earth Day to hock anything and everything, including a 'Real Housewives' episode, bloggers weigh in on the ridiculousness of it all.
Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Photo: Shutterstock
This Sunday marks the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day. I haven't said much about it because Earth Day doesn't do much for me anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Earth Day when it's about education and doing actual things for the Earth like cleaning up parks or planting organic edible gardens.
But, Earth Day has morphed into a marketing day that's used to sell stuff. I get emails that ask me to tell my readers that if they buy $75 worth of products at a particular store, they can get a free reusable bag. My favorite Earth Day email this year was the one that explained how a TV network was throwing Earth Day messages into their programs, and hey, wouldn't my readers really want to know that on the "Real Housewives of Orange County," they're going green by talking about a Prius. It's ridiculous.
I'm not the only one who thinks so. Other bloggers are weighing in on it, too.
Lynn over at Celebrate Green is hoping that we're all too smart to fall for the Earth Day hype. She's fed up with her "in-box bulging with uninvited Earth Day-related propaganda."
Unfortunately, as more and more companies are making Earth-friendlier items and stabs at sustainability, the level of greenwashing in order to pull the plastic over the public's eyes, has increased exponentially.And April 22nd has become the lightning rod for every silly, outlandish item with the vaguest, most tenuous link to sustainability.This Earth Day, vow not to allow yourself to be reeled in like a mindless fish.
I'm right there with Lynn when she urges her readers to "consider what you can do this Earth Day to make a difference for your community and the planet" instead of buying something.
Grist will make you simultaneously smile and snarl with their the weirdest, worst PR crap they've seen this Earth Day. They mention the "Real Housewives" PR email that I mentioned above, plus about 15 others that made the recipients want to smack their head against a wall. (I know this because I received at least half of the same PR emails.)
TLC's Parentables takes a more positive approach. After mentioning that even though some "trendy magazines" might tell us that taking care of the Earth means "buying the latest hybrid car or expensive, organically grown heirloom kumquats," they give 10 green strategies for spending less on kids' stuff (instead of buying lots of new stuff).
And MNN's own Green Tech writer Chris Turner is my kindred soul when he writes about the Giant Earth Day Sale! Everything Must Go! He has copied verbatim some of the news articles, websites and press releases he's come across that are urging people to shop their way to a better Earth.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to Earth Day to come and go this year so we can get away from the marketing nonsense. How about you?

President Obama has struck an imperfect but essential tax-cut deal with congressional Republicans.
Yes, it's a mishmash of partisan priorities, but if you remember from days gone by, that's the way it is with political compromise. Yes, on the surface the deal seems to tilt to the right, since it prominently includes an extension of top-end tax cuts and a most generous estate tax exemption for the wealthiest Americans.But if you look closer, what you'll see is a generally solid package of short-term economic policies that will help -- or at least avoid potential harm -- to the nation's struggling economy.
There is a 13-month extension of unemployment benefits that will provide a crucial lifeline to millions of long-term unemployed Americans who otherwise would have been cast off on their own. Remember, only a few weeks back Congress failed to approve a modest three-month extension of benefits.
The deal also includes a temporary, 2 percent payroll tax holiday that will put money directly into the pockets of lower- and middle-class Americans. Moreover, it includes the renewal of refundable earned income, child care and college tax credits that are aimed specifically at lower-income families. All these policies are scheduled to expire in the next few weeks and their renewal amounts to a significant concession by Republicans.
Still, many House Democrats, including Oregon Reps. Peter DeFazio and David Wu, see the deal as mostly give by President Obama and take, take, take by Republicans. Obama invited the criticism by cutting congressional Democrats out of the talks with GOP leaders. It didn't help, either, that Obama spent the runup to the lame-duck Congress negotiating with himself, unilaterally announcing a pay freeze on federal workers.
Before the bruised Democrats vote against the deal struck by their president, however, they ought to think seriously about what would come next if Congress rejects the agreement. Even if you believe Republicans ultimately would not follow through on their all-or-nothing hostage-taking threat on tax cuts, next month the GOP assumes control of the House. Would Democrats expect a more attractive tax deal then?
This is a reasonable compromise, especially if the president and GOP leaders are serious about turning from these short-term economic policies to the much harder questions on deficit reduction next year. One thing is clear: No one should mistake this agreement, which will add an estimated $850 billion to the national debt, as necessarily the proper long-term tax policy.
That's a fight for another day. The tax cuts for the wealthy are set to expire in two years, before the next election. Congress almost certainly will revisit the estate tax again. In better economic times, the debate on those issues will be more about fiscal policy and the long-term deficit.
In the meantime, the tax deal struck by Obama and Republicans promises to aid those most in need and stimulate business and job creation. It's not perfect, but it's a package of policies that will, on balance, be good for the American economy.

Post-survey follow-up for human cystic echinococcosis in northwest China.
Wang, Y, He, T, Wen, X, Li, T, Waili, A, Zhang, W, Xu, X, Vuitton, DA, Rogan, MT, Wen, H and Craig, PS 2006, 'Post-survey follow-up for human cystic echinococcosis in northwest China.' , Acta Tropica, 98 (1) , pp. 43-51.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In Hobukesar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, (China), a mass-screening programme for human cystic echinococcosis (CE) was performed during 1995 and 1996. After the survey 51 cases were followed-up using ultrasound scan and serology for 1–8 years (1996–2003). These included 20 CE cases treated by surgery (endocystectomy), four CE cases treated by percutanous drainage (PAIR), six untreated CE cases, five ultrasound 'query' cases, eight cases of isolated hepatic calcifications, four previous CE surgery cases whose ultrasound was now normal, and four seropositive cases who exhibited a normal hepatic ultrasound. Follow-up results indicated that in the untreated CE patients, one case exhibited a spontaneous cure within 4 years, another case changed from a hepatic hydatid cyst that contained a floating laminated membrane (type CE3) to a cyst that contained daughter cysts (type CE2) within 1 year of follow-up. In the 20 surgically treated cases, two recurrent CE cases occurred within 4 years, and five cases had had residual cavities for more than 4 or 8 years. Of the 4 PAIR treated cases, two recurrent cases of CE occurred within 4 or 8 years of follow-up. Serological follow-up data showed that specific IgG antibody levels were persistently positive in most CE cases, but exhibited a decreasing tendency in cases that were effectively treated by surgery; In contrast, serum IgG levels in the PAIR group or in the recurrent CE cases after surgery exhibited an increasing tendency. At least one persistant seropositive case with an isolated hepatic calcification was considered to be abortive CE. Keywords: Cystic echinococcosis; Ultrasound; Serology; Follow-up

Helmut Newton
(Germany, Australia, France 1920 – 2004)
Roselyne in Arcangues, France (salon)
- Location
- Not on display
- Further information
Helmut Newton's risqué style was singularly consistent throughout his long career. As Anna Wintour, of American 'Vogue', said: 'Fashion would change, but Helmut's vision didn't.' His set-pieces of predatory women in luxurious surroundings played out a range of stylish sexual fantasies and defined the language of 'porno-chic'. Born in Berlin in 1920, Newton was fascinated by the contrast between his staid bourgeois upbringing and the decadent Berlin nightlife. His first photographs, taken when he was 12 in the Berlin Underground, were inspired by Brassaï's night-shots of 'Secret Paris'. At 16 he was apprenticed to the Berlin portrait and fashion photographer Yva (Else Simon), but was forced to flee Nazi Germany. He arrived in Australia in 1940 and established a Melbourne studio in 1946. He took a contract with British 'Vogue' in 1957, but languished amid the inhibited English attitude to sex.
It was with the risk-taking French 'Vogue' that Newton developed his signature style. His best work from this time is included in 'Private property'. Consisting of three suites of 15 photographs each, 'Private property' is a mixture of fashion, portraits and erotica from 1972 to 1983. 'Roselyne in Arcangues' was shot at Château Arcangues for French 'Vogue'. The Amazonian Roselyne participates in the archetypal Newton fantasy of female exhibitionism and male voyeurism, as does 'Woman being filmed, Paris' 1980 (AGNSW collection).
Newton has said: 'I didn't realise until 1974, when Philippe Garnier of Sotheby's pointed it out to me, that I was the portraitist of the high bourgeoisie … It was like a jolt – that all that leather stuff, the whips, what is called my sexist world, were the keys to unlock the Paris 16th arrondissement apartment, the environment of the very rich.' 1

Bosphorus serial murders
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the German Wikipedia. (August 2012)
Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
The Bosphorus serial murders[2] also known as Döner murders, the term often used by the media,[3] were a series of attacks that took place in Germany between 2000 and 2007, leaving ten people dead and one wounded. The attackers called themselves National Socialist Underground (NSU) (German: Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund). The primary targets were ethnic Turks, but one Greek and one ethnic German policewoman were also killed.
The victims were mostly small business owners, including doner kebab vendors and greengrocers. They were murdered in daylight with gunshots to the face at close range with a silenced CZ 83 pistol. According to the parents of a Turkish victim who worked in an internet café, the police originally suspected foreign organised criminals. Policewoman Michèle Kiesewetter, was also shot and killed and the police officer on patrol with her was critically wounded. Other crimes, including a bomb attack, may have been committed by the group. German authorities identified three suspects, Uwe Böhnhardt, Uwe Mundlos, and Beate Zschäpe as responsible for the murders. According to the acting Attorney General of Germany, Rainer Greisbaum, the suspects had Neo-Nazi links.[4] Böhnhardt and Mundlos were found dead by police after they robbed a bank on 4 November 2011. Police said they killed themselves.[5] Zschäpe surrendered on 11 November 2011. She will probably face charges of murder, attempted murder, arson, and belonging to a terrorist organization. Zschäpe said she was only willing to testify if she was considered a state witness, with mitigation of sentence.[citation needed] The police discovered an alleged hit-list of 88 names that included "two prominent members of the Bundestag and representatives of Turkish and Islamic groups".[6]

Crimes involved[edit]
Murder of Enver Şimşek[edit]
Enver Şimşek was a 38-year old business man with Turkish roots who operated several flower stalls in southern Germany. When his employee running the stall in Nuremberg went on holidays, Şimşek himself stepped in for him, and in the afternoon of 9 September 2000 he was shot in the face by two gun-men, and died from his wounds in hospital two days later. He was the first victim in the series. One of the guns used to kill Şimşek was used in nine more murders.[7]
Murder of Abdurrahim Özüdoğru[edit]
On 13 June 2001, Abdurrahim Özüdoğru was killed by two shots in the head with the same weapon already used in the murder of Enver Şimşek. Özüdoğru, who worked as a machinist for a big company in Nuremberg, had been helping out in a tailor's shop; the murder was discovered by a passer-by who looked through the shop window and saw the body sitting in the back of the shop, covered in blood.[7]
Murder of Süleyman Taşköprü[edit]
On 27 June 2001 between 10:45 and 11:15 a.m, Süleyman Taşköprü, aged 31, died in his greengrocer's shop in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld after being shot in the head three times. This was two weeks after the second murder, and the same guns as in the first case were used, a CZ 83 and a 6.35 mm gun.[8]
Murder of Habil Kılıç[edit]
On 29 August 2001 Habil Kılıç became the fourth victim. Kılıç, aged 38, who was married and had a daughter, was shot at point-blank range in his greengrocer's shop in Munich-Ramersdorf. This was the first of two murders in Munich.[9]
Murder of Mehmet Turgut[edit]
Two and a half years later, in Rostock-Toitenwinkel, on the morning of Ash Wednesday, 25 February 2004, between 10:10 and 10:20,[10] Mehmet Turgut was shot three times in the head and neck with a silenced CZ 83 and died instantaneously. Turgut, who had been living illegally in Hamburg, was in Rostock on a visit and had been asked by an acquaintance to open up a doner kebab shop that day. Because of Turgut's link to Hamburg, Rostock police made the connection to the third victim, Süleyman Taşköprü, thus establishing the term döner murders.[11]
Murder of İsmail Yaşar[edit]
On 9 June 2005 the murderers struck for the third time in Nuremberg. İsmail Yaşar, aged 50, had come from Suruc, Turkey to Nuremberg, and owned a kebab shop in Scharrerstrasse. He was found dead at approximately 10:15 with five gunshot wounds. Witness statements led Police to believe he had been killed between 9:50 and 10:05.[12]
Murder of Theodoros Boulgarides[edit]
On 15 June 2005 between 18:15 and 19:00 locksmith Theodoros Boulgarides was killed in his shop in the vicinity of the other murder in Munich. Boulgarides left a wife and two daughters; he was the second murder victim in Munich. A Greek, he was the first non-Turk to die.[13]
Murder of Mehmet Kubaşık[edit]
In Dortmund, in the early afternoon of 4 April 2006, kiosk vendor Mehmet Kubaşık, a German citizen of Turkish origin, was found dead in his shop. Like the majority of the other victims, Kubaşık had been shot in the head.[14]
Murder of Halit Yozgat[edit]
On 6 April 2006, just two days after the murder of Kubaşık, Halit Yozgat became the penultimate victim in the series of murders, and the last of ethnic Turkish origin. Yozgat, who ran an internet café in Kassel, Hesse, was also shot in the head with a silenced gun. On the occasion of this murder an agent of the Hessian Office for the Protection of the Constitution was present. The agent claimed first to have left the premises shortly before the murder, but later changed his statement when presented with evidence of witnesses who had seen him present when the murder happened. His involvement with the case gave rise to suspicions that government agencies might be linked to the organisation responsible for the murders.[15][16]
Murder of Michèle Kiesewetter[edit]
On 25 April 2007, police officer Michèle Kiesewetter and her duty-partner were attacked during their lunch break. Kiesewetter, age 22, was killed and her partner was critically wounded but survived with no memory of the attack. Both were shot involving directly aimed headshots at point blank range while sitting in the patrol car with the shooters approaching their vehicle from both sides. Kiesewetter died on site, her male partner was in coma for several weeks. While in the other cases the motive is assumed to be xenophobia and/or racism, it is unclear why Kiesewetter and her partner were attacked; theories include a variety of motives, such as a personal link between Kiesewetter, who came from Oberweissbach in Thuringia, and the alleged perpetrators who all came from Thuringia, or the acquisition of firearms. The duty-pistols of Kiesewetter and her partner were found on 4 November 2011 at the caravan where Böhnhardt and Mundlos died, giving rise to the belief that this attack was linked to the Bosphorus murder series.
Original Suspicions[edit]
Originally, suspicions surrounded the family and friends of the victims.[17] German security services also blamed the murders on the Turkish mafia during the period of killings.[18] Right-wing groups were never mentioned and investigated.[18]
German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that "the cold-blooded murders of nine immigrant shopkeepers by neo-Nazis is an "inconceivable" crime for Germany and a national disgrace."[19]
In 2011, the term "Döner murders" (German: Döner-Morde) was named the German Un-Word of the Year by a jury of linguistic scholars, who considered its usage as inappropriate and inhuman.[20]

Trial of Beate Zschäpe[edit]
The hearing began with two motions from the defence lawyers alleging that the presiding judge was biased. Judge Manfred Goetzl put proceedings on hold until May 14 to consider the defence request that he recuse himself from the trial, which is the highest-profile neo-Nazi murder trial in Germany in decades and could last at least a year.
Zschäpe, 38, is accused by prosecutors of murder for alleged complicity in the killing of eight Turks, a Greek and a policewoman between 2000 and 2007. If convicted, she faces life imprisonment. Four others face lesser charges of assisting the cell.
Zschäpe is also accused of involvement in at least two bombings and 15 bank robberies allegedly carried out by her accomplices Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Boenhardt, who died in an apparent murder-suicide in November 2011.[21]
— Ralf Wohlleben, 38, and Carsten Schultze, 33, are accused of being accessories to murder in the killing of the nine male victims. Prosecutors allege that they supplied the trio with the handgun and silencer used in the killings. Wohlleben was once a member of Germany's far-right National Democratic Party, which has seats in two state parliaments in eastern Germany.
— Andre Eminger, 33, is accused of being an accessory in two of the bank robberies and in a 2001 bombing in Cologne. He is also accused of two counts of supporting a terrorist organization.
— Holger Gerlach, 38, is accused of three counts of supporting a terrorist organization.
Like Zschäpe, the co-defendants were known to German authorities before the existence of the NSU — whose name alludes to the official name of Adolf Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' Party — came to light.

Assalamu ʿalaykum wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuhu:
Figure: (a) Original inscription and (b) its content.
Size & Script
140 cm x 140 cm. Written in kufic script
The translation of the inscription is:
- "Oh David, we have indeed made you
- a vicegerent on earth.
- So judge between men
- in justice, and do not follow your desires
- which will mislead you from the path of God. Verily, for those who stray
- from the path of God is severe chastisement, for those who have forgotten the Day of
- Reckoning." And this was inscribed by ʿUthmān bin
- Wahran in the year eighty.
Notice that only part of last line of the inscription is transliterated by the author. The inscription contains complete Qur'an 38:26 as shown below.
ʿUthmān bin Wahran also left two other inscriptions (1, 2) containing Qur'an bearing the same date.

This method has an Achilles heel: 'enemies' can misuse the assembly line to produce their own proteins by faking the commands. Viruses, for example, basically consist of a small protein capsule which surrounds its genetic make-up ?usually an RNA molecule. This RNA mainly contains the blueprint for new capsule proteins. By injecting its RNA into the cell, the virus re-programmes it: the cell production line then produces large numbers of new virus capsules. These are filled with virus RNA and attack more cells.
'However, the cells are not completely at the mercy of a virus attack,' Professor Gunther Hartmann, head of the Bonn University Clinic's Department of Clinical Pharmacology. 'They often recognise the alien RNA and set off the alarm: for example, they then produce what is known as the beta interferon, thereby activating specific killer cells. They also initiate the cell's suicide programme ?apoptosis. The viruses cannot then continue to breed.'
Up to now it was not known how cells distinguish their own RNA from that of the 'enemy'. The latest findings, which a Japanese research team was also involved in, now shed light on the matter: they show that the instructions from the cell's nucleus carry a kind of 'signature', which is missing in the virus commands. RNA is like a l

By Bob Hartzler, Department of Agronomy
Herbicide labels now include a standardized system to inform users of the product's mechanism of action (MOA). A box labeled 'Herbicide Group' is present near the top of the label. The number in the box represents MOA of the active ingredient, based on a system developed by the Weed Science Society of America. Premixes containing more than one mode of action will have multiple numbers listed. Following is an example of the new logo.
The intent of this information is to simplify development of herbicide programs that reduce the likelihood of selecting herbicide resistant weeds. In production systems relying largely on herbicides for weed management, using herbicides with different MOAs is the primary means of managing resistance.
Generally, the greater number of MOAs used, the less selection pressure placed on weeds. However, designing an integrated program is not as simple as randomly adding MOAs. The different MOAs used in the program must have good activity on the important weeds in the field to successfully reduce selection pressure. Following are a few examples where the inclusion of an herbicide in a system relying on glyphosate in Roundup Ready crops would provide little benefit in terms of managing resistance for specific weeds.
• A Group 2 herbicide would provide little benefit for waterhemp since most waterhemp is resistant to these herbicides.• A Group 15 herbicide would provide little benefit for giant ragweed or other large-seeded broadleaves due to its poor activity on these weeds.• Tank-mixing low rates ( less than 0.75 lbs) of atrazine (Group 5) with glyphosate or other herbicides.
The new labeling system eliminates the need for farmers, consultants and suppliers to learn the MOA of all the active ingredients used in Iowa agriculture. However, to use the information properly, users must still know the activity of the individual herbicides on the weeds present in the field to insure that the target weeds are being affected by multiple MOAs.
Use this link to reach the Weed Science Society of America Mechanism of Action document.

As you can read in my blog. The flac issue is a pretty well known issue.
You need it decoded on a remote server. Then it's PCM streaming. I'd recommend to work on your wired ethernet optimizations. I slightly revised the ethernet chapter. Let see if we can squeeze even more out of it. Cheers

may I ask a few questions? Quote:
In one part, you discuss quality of ethernet switch, in another one you suggest to use a complicated QoS router where all packets are inspected by an embedded CPU and the chances of dropping/delaying packets are much higher (but still entirely negligible, of course). Joining a shielded cable and unshielded one can be via a simple ethernet junction. |

When using unshielded cables there are usually no groundloops. There has been an article in the German "Stereo" magazine about the impact of ethernet cables. The winner , I think it was a "Monster", didn't have a shield either if a recall it correctly. They concluded: There is an impact due to cables. But it is not the data of course. They also said one of the main reasons should be HF interferences finding it's way into the device. Quote:
Consider the HUB as a kind of termination point in front of the Touch. Quote:
Don't forget to have a look at the mixed rates (100MBit vs. 1GBIT) in a Network. The whole networking discussion I consider much more vague then the Touch internal mods. Would be nice if the best solution comes out of this discussion. I'll change my proposal accordingly. BTW. Do you have a Touch up'n running now? Cheers

WLAN with SW mods
As already mentioned in comments on sounchecks blog I think with WLAN connection you could avoid mass loops caused by network wires. So it would be very interesting to have a SW mod. doing same as Soundchecks SW mods for wired connection but usable for WLAN.

Recently I´ve downloaded this small applet for my Windows Mobile phone (HTC)
http://sc.sciatec.de/ This turns your mobile phone into a pretty fast remotecontrol for your SBT. It also allows you to have almost full control over your SBT with the display turned off. Which i think could be a better solution than unplugging the display, because the processor then actually turns of the displayprocesses. By unplugging the display, the processor might even try to do some handshake over and over, trying to get in control of the display. The applet is not freeware, but will cost you 10€, which I find very modest for the convinience it provides. I´m sure there are several others for other Mobile OS, such as Android, iPhone, Nokia etc. Give it a go

Hi guys.
I am using iPeng on iPhone since good old SB Duet times. It is fast, reliable and IMO pretty well done. The display mod is not the same as turning the display of with the screensaver. Just give it a try! Cheers

And I would miss that a lot, since performance in my set-up is much better using an USB HDD than feeding via WLAN or ethernet. It is somewhat slower though, but that is a price I´m willing to pay for better SQ. Using my HTC as remote speeds up reaction time from my SBT to an acceptable level, even though I´ve got pretty close to 1TB of music files. So disconnecting the display does not seem to be an option for me. Next experiment will be powering my HDD from a linear PSU.

Well it hasn't taken over my life yet but it's taking over my wallet. I've been getting into rock climbing recently. I jut ordered a second rope today and plan on doing a bridge swing soon. Something like this. Check out this video on YouTube:

Welding. If its weldable I'll weld it. Aluminum, cast aluminum, steel, cast steel, cast iron, stainless, bronze, brass, whatever. I like it when I get jobs that make you have to use your noggin. Like welding 8620 to 4140 or .060 to .375 or saw blades or razor blades

Beat me to it
On a serious note, I have never been "awesome" at anything. I am a very competitive person, and I enjoy turning hobbies into things I compete at. In the past I was a pretty good barefoot water skier and competed growing up and won a few tournaments etc. I also competed as a wakeboarder, I was solid, but never awesome. Now adays its mountain biking, I do pretty well, but I'm not awesome, there are tons of guys who are faster than I am, but I hold my own in my age group. I do also try everyday to be better than my co-workers at my job. I am consistently a top producer for our organization/group. I still don't know that I would say I am awesome. And last I try to be a good parent to my son and my step daughter (soon to be). Again, not the best, but I do what I can and try to focus on my shortcomings to be a better parent whenever I can.

My job would be the #1 thing that I strive to be good at. Second would be growing hot peppers. Not standard hot peppers like jalapeños and habaneros either. I'm talking about peppers that will melt your face.

I'm the dude, man
I don't try to be better than anybody, but I do try and strive to improve me skills at working on cars. For some reason, I got the itch and all I want to do is work on cars. I won't touch my Jeep, but I'll work on anybody else's car. Guess I'm getting bored with my job

I don't have a competitive bone in my body, unless it is against myself. If there is something I want or need to figure out or learn I will, plain and simple. Right now I am attempting to figure out how to properly pack and smoke a traditional tobacco pipe, which is a sort of dying art.
Besides that I try to be the very best father I can, taking my kids on all sorts of grand adventures, enjoying life to the fullest. |
