By September Morn
Q. We bought an 8-week-old puppy last week. He wants to play and bark and whine all the time and I am facing serious problems with his biting. His canines are growing and he is badly biting our hands. How can I make him stop doing that? I also need help stopping the puppy from peeing everywhere on the carpet. How should I train him to pee only where he should?
A. Most puppies that age do play biting games with their littermates and other dogs, and until they learn otherwise they'll also try to play that way with people. Those needle-sharp puppy teeth can hurt our furless human skin, so it's important to teach him games that don't involve biting hands or clothing. To do this, everyone in the family needs to know that it's not okay to intentionally play mouth-on-hand games with your puppy.
Play with a toy with him, and let him bite and tug on the toy instead of your hands or clothing. If he let's go of the toy and tries to grab your hand, stop moving. It might be difficult to make yourself do that, but the more you move and try to pull away the harder most puppies will bite down, and that will hurt. Wiggle the toy to make it interesting and encourage the pup to grab it instead of your hand.
If he grabs the toy, praise him and continue the game. But if he lets go of it and grabs you again, end the game. Cross your arms and walk away, leaving him there by himself for one to five minutes. A baby gate in the doorway will help, as that will prevent your pup from following you when you leave the room. After a few minutes, calmly go back and talk quietly to him. Give him the toy to play with, but keep the game mild. Most pups start nipping and biting when they get overe-xcited. Any biting during play earns the puppy an immediate one to five-minute timeout (you leave him).
As for housetraining, 8 weeks is very young to expect much success yet. At that age, his muscles and bladder are still developing and he hasn't got much control over his urination. Almost as soon as your pup feels the urge to pee, he'll only have a few seconds to get to an approved spot. Until he gets a few weeks older and can control his elimination a little better, keep him out of carpeted areas when you're not watching him.
Learn to notice the signs that mean he needs to potty. Some of those signs include stopping suddenly in play, starting to circle, sniffing a spot on the floor, walking a few feet away and stopping, going around a corner, or behind a large piece of furniture. Pups generally need to pee immediately after waking, eating, drinking, being excited, and playing. At these times he may not give much warning before he pees, so take your puppy to an approved potty area at these times, and praise him calmly for doing his business in the right place.

The State Medical Board revoked a Dublin doctor's medical license today for inappropriately
prescribing pain killers to patients.
The board investigated 10 patients that Dr. Shaban Mahmoud saw at his Global Health Clinic in
Dublin and found that he failed to document their information and investigate medical histories
before prescribing pain killers including oxycodone and Percocet.
Board member Dr. Dalsukh Madia said that Mahmoud should have better handled walk-in patients.
"If you're going to embark on long-term care for patients with chronic pain, you must get
their records first," Madia said.
"I could always do better and I'm always looking to improve the quality of care to my
patients," Mahmoud said.
Mahmoud's attorney, Gregory Peterson, said the doctor will appeal the decision.
The Medical Board receives more than 4,000 complaints a year. About 10 percent warrant
disciplinary action, according to board data.
Sara Jerde is a Scripps School of Journalism Ohio Statehouse Bureau Fellow.

Man Knifed, Woman Arrested After Fight
A Millcreek man was stabbed in the forearm Saturday morning during a domestic dispute with the woman he lives with, according to the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were called to an apartment at 3349 S. 1300 East and found that the couple had been arguing about "relationship issues," said deputy Barry Mortensen.
Details were sketchy, but the couple appeared to be about 45-50 years old, and "there is some discrepancy as to how the knife came into play," Mortensen said.
During the argument, the woman somehow got hold of the knife and cut the man's forearm, Mortensen said. He was taken to St. Mark's Hospital in good condition. The woman, who appeared to have no injuries, was arrested for suspicion of aggravated assault and taken to the Salt Lake County Jail.
There were no other people in the apartment.

text: Soybean Harvest Nearly Complete, Corn Continues to Lag Some concerns about delays in corn harvest. Published on: Nov 11, 2008 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print According to USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey 93% of the nation's soybean crop has been harvested, which is equal to the five year average. The last two weeks have been very productive with 17% of the crop harvested during that time. With soybean harvest all but complete, most farmers have moved on to corn harvest, but it is not even close to being on pace. "We've seen 32% of the corn harvested the last two weeks and the number nationally has reached 71%; the five year average is 88%," Rippey says. "Even though we saw really good progress in states like Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota, we still see fairly significant delays in most of those production states. Harvest is around 20% in many of those states." Iowa is ahead of that at 62% harvested, but that trails by a wide margin the five year average of 90%. The situation is even worse in the Dakotas. The five year average in both states is 81%, but South Dakota is setting on 53% while North Dakota has only harvested 23%. Adding to the problem is the blizzard conditions that have hit the Dakotas in the past week.

Got a major Flavor Unit interview ready to drop soon, so I'm going in extra deep (pause) on their extensive catalog. Here are ten of sure shots from the greatest collection of MC's that New Jersey ever produced.
Latee - "This Cut's Got Flavor"
The blueprint of the Flavor U. Raw rap perfection.
The 45 King feat. Markey Fresh - "The King Is Here"
The late, great Markey Fresh reps the 45 King like a trooper on this Kool DJ Red Alert favorite.
Double J - "Cannibal Town"
The Hitman's debut, self released single still deliver's today. Harmonica rap before the Ghetto Boys.
Chill Rob G - "Chillin'"
The lyrical genius at his best. The Chill One covers a wide range of topics over a rolling break.
Lakim Shabazz - "Style Is Free"
The Voice of Power contributed this gem for the Rhythmical Madness album. Louie Louie on the beat.
Latee feat. The 45 King - "Puttin' On The Hits"
45 King didn't write his raps, but he sure as fux knew how to say 'em.
Lord Ali Ba-Ski - "Crunch Time"
The Human Body Chart also played bodyguard for Monie and Latifah.
The Flavor Unit Assassination Squad - "Flavor Unit Assassination Squad"
Best posse cut of all-time. Sorry Juice Crew.
Queen Latifah feat. The 45 King - "A King and Queen Creation"
Written by Lakim and Ali Ba-Ski, the final result is incredible.
Naughty By Nature feat. Lakim Shabazz and Apache - "1,2,3"

201/973, stand up!!! Should have had Lakim's "All True And Living". One of the illest horn breaks ever…
Comment by oskamadison 03.20.13 @A lot of dope cuts here, especially "Chillin'" and "1,2,3". I'm with oska, All True is dope, I'd also nominate Latee's "Brainstorm" and Lord Alibaski's "Top Gun".
Looking forward to the Lakim Shabazz interview!

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Florence Concert and Dinner. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
I loved this tour, especially the Puccini concert. It inspired me to visit Lucca, where Puccini was born! Very nice tour guide.
The music was wonderful and made so even more by the lovely setting. Dinner was fine, not spectacular and our guide was informative and witty. A really pleasant evening.
great dinner and show
The tour was better than we could have imagined. The tour guide was VERY thorough and the dinner and private concert were sublime. The owner of the restaurant (Felicitia) that we went to attended to every need personally. The intimate concert at St. Marks was superb with arias for any type of music lover. I would highly recommend this for visitors.
Sherry M
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The dinner was enjoyable, but the concert was the real treat. We sat just a few feet from the performers, so we felt as if we were part of the show. The selections were enjoyable, even to those not familiar with opera. The only negative point was that we had to walk a bit to the restaurant and then to the concert. This was challenging for some of the older people (such as me).
Экскурсия была просто великолепной! Огромное спасибо и до скорой встречи опять!!
I highly recommend this tour!! Antonio was a fabulous guide on the walking tour, especially charming was the fact he grew up in the very areas that we walked!! So we got history and a peak into the day to day life in "old" Florence even 50 years ago. The food, wine and service for the 4 course dinner were typically wonderful Italian fare. But the concert was spectacular!!! Ah! to hear Italian opera expertly sung IN FLORENCE!!! Such an unexpected treat!!! We were so glad we took this tour on our first night in Florence as it set the tone for the rest of our visit. We felt that we had visited the "soul" of Florence, not just the "tourist sites". We will do this tour again, the next time we are in Florence!!
Food wasn't great but it was okay. Concert was fabulous. I would definitely do this again.
Deborah A
Very enjoyable evening. The food was good and the concert was wonderful in a beautiful venue.
This was fantastic! I wish I could remember the name of our guide because he was so friendly, nice and informative! The dinner was so-so in taste and quality, but the walking part of the tour was beautiful and the concert after dinner was superb! A must!
This was a lovely evening. The dinner was wonderful and the aria's were fabulous.
The whole evening was wonderful. The concert was delightful and our host Antonio was absolutely charming. A real high light of our stay.
An absolutely superb evening. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative; the dinner at Bebos was excellent and great value, and the opera concert at St Marks was a truly memorable surprise. We have done Covent Garden London, La Scala Milan, the Arena at Verona and others and can say that this short concert with outstanding pianist and opera singers was just as enthralling. The whole evening was well put together, a great success, reasonably priced and is highly recommended. Thank you. Alan and Carole. Cardiff. UK.
My parent thought this trip was excellent!! Really enjoyed it!! Thanks
The dinner was delicious, the restaurant was charming, the opera was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it...one of our favorite things that we did in Florence.

As part of its recent white paper on banking reforms, the British government has suggested ways in which the financial services industry can re-engage with consumers, including the introduction of a color-coded system more commonly found on food labels. While the suggestion has drawn some criticism, the proposed system should at least lead to greater innovation and competition within the industry.
New data released by the Reserve Bank show that Australian banks amassed almost A$1 billion in penalty fees from consumers, including late and overdraft fees. The figures add weight to consumer groups' criticism of excessive penalty fees, but the Australian Bankers' Association has defended the charges, noting that they are easily avoidable by conscientious consumers.
Access to cheap consumer credit is becoming increasingly difficult against the backdrop of the credit crunch. Interest rates on authorized overdrafts have increased and overdraft credit has become more expensive. Furthermore, if the OFT decides that bank charges are unfair the free banking model could be put in jeopardy as banks look to make up this lost revenue.
Tesco is planning to enter the UK current account market by the end of 2009 via its Tesco Personal Finance brand. This will prove to be a very challenging exercise for the supermarket, not only because of the costs and logistics involved, but also because of the characteristics of the UK current account market, which continues to be dominated by big banks.
Financial services are just one area that Tesco has been developing as it seeks to maintain growth. In buying out RBS and taking full ownership of its Tesco Personal Finance business, Tesco should be able to grow annual profits to GBP1 billion, from the GBP240 million estimated for 2008. In applying its core values of simplicity and value, Tesco could make life difficult for smaller lenders.
The Office of Fair Trading has said that the majority of customers are not aware of the charges and interest rates paid on their current account and are therefore unaware if they are receiving a good deal from their bank, leading to an uncompetitive market. As a result, just 6% of consumers changed their current account in the last year, the OFT claims.
Bank of America has announced that it now has over one million customers signed up to its mobile banking service. The role of mobile handsets in financial services is driving debate and innovation across the industry, and this landmark may be the clearest indication yet that a largely untapped consumer demand for the channel exists, but the mobile channel must offer more than online banking.
The UK's Office of Fair Trading appears to have upped its stance on overdraft fees as it awaits the beginning of a High Court test case in early 2008. A long and tough battle is about to begin. Should the OFT succeed, banks will see a significant loss in revenue, and therefore seek other ways to recoup this loss, which may ultimately result in other changes that are unfavorable to consumers.
In its latest European expansion, French bank Credit Agricole has set its sights on the thriving Greek market, with plans to boost in current 10% stake in Emporiki Bank to 40%, prior to an outright buy. However Credit Agricole faces a stiff test as opposition mounts from Emporiki unions and staff, showing that entering the Greek market is not without its risks.
In a step to expand its Islamic finance proposition and compete with HSBC Amanah Finance, Lloyds TSB is the first high street lender to offer mortgages and current accounts which comply with Islamic law at all its branches. Such a strategy makes good sense, given the likely growth of Islamic finance in the UK.

Despite being short, this is still a great animation. It was really funny. I love seeing how Matt goes from being calm, to acting crazy. I love eddsworld, (RIP) and I hope you can continue animating for him, paultervoorde, because you both are talented artists.
DId you know that Tom reverted to his original 2004 self when being electrocuted in Space Face part 2? BTW when Edd kept getting his voice changed there should've been another change where Edd said "This isn't my voice either." in Tord's voice. And, thanks for all the references that Tord might, MIGHT be returning and you can't say no to him returning but you can just be unsure. (That goes for the real Tord as well.)
This gets so much more hilarious when you think of what the girl is seeing while he's doing that.

Vocabulary Day - BOTANIST
One of the end of the year projects at our elementary school is "vocabulary day" where the students dress as a vocabulary word of their choice. There were students dressed as "covert", "plume", "blue" and many many more. Our 3rd-grader went as "Botanist"~ a person who studies plants.

Protecting yourself and your family from radon
As summer fades and the clocks turn forward, many of us are spending more time inside our homes with friends and family. While this is a great time of year for getting cozy in the living room with a good book or movie, its also a good time to become more aware of indoor environmental and health risks, especially radon.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is especially common in parts of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. While radon from soil gas is the main cause of problems, radon can also enter the home through well water. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up in dangerous concentrations. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
One of the biggest challenges with radon is that it is difficult to detect. You can't see radon. And you can't smell or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home. Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. Radon gas decays into radioactive particles that can get trapped in your lungs when you breathe. As they break down further, these particles release small bursts of energy. This can damage lung tissue and lead to lung cancer over the course of your lifetime. Not everyone exposed to elevated levels of radon will develop lung cancer. And the amount of time between exposure and the onset of the disease may be many years.
How Does Radon Get Into Your Home?
Any home may have a radon problem
Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Sometimes radon enters the home through well water. In a small number of homes, the building materials can give off radon, too. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves.
Radon exposure can pose a significant long-term health risk to you and your family. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.
So what can you do?
The first step is testing the air in your home to see if you have a problem. EPA recommends that you use a simple testkit to see if there are high radon levels inside your home. There are many kinds of low-cost "do-it-yourself" radon test kits you can get through the mail, in hardware stores and other retail outlets. You can also hire a qualified tester to do the testing for you.
Your test results will let you know if you need to take action to reduce radon inside your home. The amount of radon in the air is measured in "picocuries per liter of air," or "pCi/L." In general, if your radon levels are 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher, you should install a system to reduce radon levels. Before you do anything, EPA recommends that you consult your tribal environmental office for information about radon risk and the availability of kits and other resources in your area.
There are several proven methods to reduce radon in your home, but the one primarily used is a vent pipe system and fan, which pulls radon from beneath the house and vents it to the outside. This system, known as a soil suction radon reduction system, does not require major changes to your home. Sealing foundation cracks and other openings makes this kind of system more effective and cost-efficient. Similar systems can also be installed in houses with crawl spaces.
The cost of reducing radon in your home depends on how your home was built and the extent of the radon problem. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs. The cost to fix can vary widely; consult with your state radon office or get one or more estimates from qualified mitigators. The cost is much less if a passive system was installed during construction.
Lowering high radon levels requires technical knowledge and special skills. You should use a contractor who is trained to fix radon problems. A qualified contractor can study the radon problem in your home and help you pick the right treatment method.If you've tested your private well and have a radon in water problem, it can be fixed.
Most areas in the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains are classified as "Zone 1" for radon, which indicates a high potential for indoor radon problems. EPA's map of radon zones can be accessed a http://www.epa.gov/radon/zonemap.html. Just because your home is in high radon potential area does not mean that you have high radon levels inside your home. EPA recommends that all households check indoor radon levels with a simple test kit.

Conor Cruise O'Brien (3 November 1917 – 18 December 2008)[1] often nicknamed "The Cruiser",[2] was an Irish politician, writer, historian and academic. His opinion on the role of Britain in Ireland and in Northern Ireland changed during the 1970s in response to the outbreak of 'the Troubles' after 1968. He saw opposing nationalist and unionist traditions as irreconcilable and switched from a nationalist to a unionist view of Irish politics and history. O'Brien's outlook was always radical and the positions he took were seldom orthodox. He summarised his position as, "I intend to administer an electric shock to the Irish psyche".[3] Internationally, he opposed in person the African National Congress's academic boycott of the apartheid regime in South Africa[4] and in later years also supported the state of Israel. These views contrasted with those espoused during the 1950s and 1960s.
During his career as a civil servant O'Brien worked on the government's anti-partition campaign. At the 1969 general election, he was elected to Ireland's parliament as a Labour Party TD for Dublin North–East becoming a Minister from 1973–77.[5] He was also the Labour Party's Northern Ireland spokesman during those years. He was later known primarily as an author and as a columnist for the Irish Independent.
Early life[edit]
Cruise O'Brien was born in Dublin to Francis ("Frank") Cruise O'Brien and Kathleen Sheehy. Frank was a journalist with the Freeman's Journal and Irish Independent newspapers, and had edited an essay written fifty years earlier by William Lecky, on the influence of the clergy on Irish politics.[6] Kathleen was an Irish language teacher. She was the daughter of David Sheehy, a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party and organiser of the Irish National Land League. She had two sisters, both of whom lost their husbands in 1916. Hanna's husband, the well known pacifist and supporter of women's suffrage Francis Sheehy-Skeffington, was executed by firing squad on the orders of Captain J.C Bowen Colthurst during the 1916 Easter Rising.[7] Soon afterwards Mary's husband, Thomas Kettle, an officer of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers was killed during the Battle of the Somme. These three women, Hanna and his mother in particular, were a major influence on O'Brien's upbringing alongside Hanna's son, his cousin Owen Sheehy-Skeffington.[8]
O'Brien's father (who died in 1927) wanted Conor educated non-denominationally, a wish that Kathleen honoured. O'Brien followed his cousin Owen into Sandford Park School that had a predominantly Protestant ethos,[9] despite objections from Catholic clergy.[10] O'Brien subsequently attended Trinity College Dublin which played the British national anthem until 1939, though O'Brien and Sheehy-Skeffington sat in protest on such occasions.[11] O'Brien was editor of Trinity's weekly, TCD: A College Miscellany. His first wife, Christine Foster, came from a Belfast Presbyterian family and was, like her father, a member of the Gaelic League. Her parents, Alexander (Alec) Roulston Foster and Mary Lynd, were Irish republicans and supporters of Irish reunification. Alec Foster was headmaster at the time of Belfast Royal Academy and was later a founding member of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association and also a strong supporter of the Irish Anti-Apartheid movement.[12] He was a former Ulster, Ireland and British & Irish Lions rugby player, having captained Ireland three times between 1912–1914. O'Brien and Christine Foster were married in a registry office in 1939. The couple had three children – Donal, Fedelma, and Kathleen (Kate), who died in 1998. The marriage ended in divorce after 20 years. In 1962, O'Brien married the Irish-language writer and poet Máire Mhac an tSaoi in a Roman Catholic church. O'Brien's divorce, contrary to Roman Catholic teaching, was not an issue since that church did not recognise the validity of O'Brien's 1939 civil wedding in the first place. O'Brien referred to this action, which in effect formally de-recognised the legitimacy of his former wife and children, as "hypocritical ... and otherwise distasteful, but I took it, as preferable to the alternatives."[13] Mac an tSaoi was five years his junior, and the daughter of Seán MacEntee, who was Tánaiste (Deputy Prime Minister) at the time. They subsequently adopted two Congolese children, a son (Patrick) and a daughter (Margaret).
O'Brien's university education led to a career in the public service, most notably in the Department of External (now Foreign) Affairs. He achieved distinction as managing director of the state run Irish News Agency and later as part of the fledgling Irish delegation to the United Nations. O'Brien later claimed he was something of an anomalous iconoclast in post-1922 Irish politics, particularly in the context of Fianna Fáil governments under Éamon de Valera. He considered that those who did not conform to traditional Roman Catholic mores were generally ill-suited to the public service,[14] though that does not appear to have impeded his ascent through it that ended officially at ambassadorial level. He observed,
There was nothing unusual even then about not believing in Catholicism. What was unusual then was to acknowledge publicly that you did not believe in Catholicism.... It is interesting that this did absolutely no harm to my public career around the mid-century - a time when the authority of a triumphant Catholic Church appeared to be overwhelmingly strong, in the media and in public life. But I think many educated people - including many in the public service - already resented that authority and, while being discreet about this themselves, had some respect for a person who publicly rejected it altogether.[15]
In the Department of External Affairs during the 1949–52 inter-party government, O'Brien served under former IRA Chief of Staff republican, Seán MacBride, the 1974 Nobel Peace Laureate, son of John MacBride and Maud Gonne. O'Brien was particularly vocal in opposition to partition during the 1940s and 1950s, as part of his official duties.
International postings[edit]
In 1961 O'Brien came to world prominence after secondment from Ireland's UN delegation as a special representative to Dag Hammarskjöld, Secretary General of the United Nations in the Katanga region of the newly independent Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). As per his understanding of his mission, O'Brien initiated military action to prevent the mineral rich region from seceding by expelling French and other western backed mercenaries. Western powers had been attempting to provoke secession, in particular Britain and the adjoining white ruled Rhodesia.[16] A UN crisis ensued and O'Brien was forced to step down from his UN position and also simultaneously from the Irish diplomatic service in late 1961. Michael Ignatieff asserted that Hammarskjöld, who was killed in Katanga prior to O'Brien's departure in a suspicious plane crash, had misjudged O'Brien's abilities as U.N. representative. He further observed that O'Brien's use of military force provided the Soviets and the US with ammunition in their campaign against the U.N. Secretary General and UN action opposed to the interests of the big powers.[17] O'Brien wrote immediately about his experiences in The Observer (London) and in the New York Times on 10, 17 December 1961, and later in To Katanga and Back (1962), considered a classic of both modern African history and of the inner workings of the United Nations. In 1962, in response to an invitation from the Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the country's leader, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, O'Brien accepted a position as Vice-Chancellor of the University. However, his interpretation of academic freedom later differed from that of Dr. Nkrumah, and he subsequently resigned in 1965.[18] Following this he was the first Albert Schweitzer Professor of Humanities at New York University from 1965 to 1969. During the 1960s O'Brien opposed western, in particular US, imperialism and protested against US participation in the Vietnam War. in 1965 O'Brien declared himself "a liberal, incurably … profoundly attached to liberal concepts of freedom… of speech and of the press"[19]
O'Brien also supported the right of oppressed people to use violence. In a debate involving Noam Chomsky, Hannah Arendt, Susan Sontag and others in 1967, he asserted,
The question has also been raised here about the terror used by the National Liberation Front [in Vietnam], and by other revolutionary movements. I think there is a distinction between the use of terror by oppressed peoples against the oppressors and their servants, in comparison with the use of terror by their oppressors in the interests of further oppression. I think there is a qualitative distinction there which we have the right to make.[20]
Irish politics[edit]
O'Brien returned to Ireland and in the 1969 general election was elected to Dáil Éireann as a member of the opposition Labour Party, representing the Dublin North–East constituency,[21] together with three other TDs, including Charles Haughey, whose probity in financial matters he questioned.[22] He was appointed a member of the short-lived first delegation from the Oireachtas to the European Parliament. Following the 1973 general election, O'Brien was appointed Minister for Posts and Telegraphs in the 1973–77 Labour Fine Gael coalition under Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave.
During this period, after the outbreak of armed conflict in Northern Ireland in 1969, O'Brien developed a deep hostility to militant Irish republicanism and to Irish nationalists generally in Northern Ireland, reversing views articulated at the outset of unrest.[23] He also reversed his opposition to broadcasting censorship imposed by the previous government, by extending and vigorously enforcing censorship of Radio Teilefís Éireann (RTÉ) under Section 31 of the Broadcasting Act. In 1976 he specifically banned spokespersons for Sinn Féin and the Provisional Irish Republican Army from RTÉ.[23] At the same time, he attempted unsuccessfully to get Britain's BBC 1 television channel broadcast on Ireland's proposed second television channel, instead of allowing RTÉ to run it.[24][25]
Two additional notable incidents affected O'Brien's career as minister, besides support for broadcasting censorship.
In August 1976 Bernard Nossiter of the Washington Post interviewed O'Brien regarding the passage of an Emergency Powers Bill. During the course of the interview O'Brien revealed an intention to extend censorship beyond broadcasting. He wished to "cleanse the culture" of republicanism and would like the bill to be used against teachers who allegedly glorified Irish revolutionaries. He also wanted it used against newspaper editors who published pro-republican or anti-British readers' letters.[26] O'Brien mentioned the Irish Press as a newspaper which in particular he hoped to use the legislation against and produced a file of Irish Press letters to the editor to which he took exception. Nossiter immediately informed Irish Press editor Tim Pat Coogan of O'Brien's intentions. Coogan printed Nossiter's report (as did the Irish TImes), republished the letters to which O'Brien objected, and ran a number of strong editorials attacking O'Brien and the proposed legislation. The interview caused huge controversy, resulting in modification of the measure appearing to target newspapers.[27]
O'Brien also supported Garda brutality in this 1973–77 period, though this was not revealed by O'Brien until 1998 in his Memoir.[28] In Memoir: My Life and Themes, O'Brien recalled a conversation with a detective who told him how the Gardaí had found out – from a suspect – the location of businessman Tiede Herrema, who had been kidnapped by group of maverick republicans in October 1975: "[T]he escort started asking him questions and when at first he refused to answer, they beat the shit out of him. Then he told them where Herrema was." O'Brien explained, "I refrained from telling this story to [ministerial colleagues] Garret [FitzGerald] or Justin [Keating], because I thought it would worry them. It didn't worry me."[29] Elements of the Garda Síochána that engaged in beating false confessions out of suspects quickly became known as the "Heavy Gang".[30][31]
O'Brien's Dublin North–East constituency was abolished as part of a government inspired redrawing of boundaries. In the 1977 general election he stood in Dublin Clontarf and was one of three ministers defeated in a general rout of the outgoing administration.[32] He was, however, subsequently elected to Seanad Éireann in 1977 from the Trinity College Dublin constituency, though he resigned his seat in 1979 due to new commitments as editor-in-chief of the London Observer newspaper.
Editor in Chief at the Observer[edit]
Between 1978 and 1981 O'Brien was editor-in-chief of The Observer newspaper in Britain. In 1979 he controversially pulped an Observer magazine with an article by Mary Holland, The Observer's Ireland correspondent. Holland, whose reporting won her a Journalist of the Year award, had been one of the first journalists to explain discrimination in Northern Ireland to a British audience. The article was a profile of Mary Nellis of Derry and dealt with her radicalisation as a result of the conflict. O'Brien objected and sent Holland a memo stating that the "killing strain" of Irish republicanism, "has a very high propensity to run in families and the mother is most often the carrier".[11] The memo continued, "It is a very serious weakness of your coverage of Irish affairs that you are a very poor judge of Irish Catholics. That gifted and talkative community includes some of the most expert conmen and conwomen in the world and I believe you have been conned.[33] Holland was forced out of the newspaper by O'Brien. She later joined the Irish Times as a columnist. She also rejoined The Observer after O'Brien's departure in 1981.[34]
In 1985, O'Brien supported unionist objections to the inter governmental Anglo-Irish Agreement. In 1996 he joined Robert McCartney's United Kingdom Unionist Party (UKUP) and was elected to the Northern Ireland Forum. In 1997, a successful libel action was brought against him by relatives of Bloody Sunday victims for alleging in a Sunday Independent article in 1997 that the marchers were "Sinn Féin activists operating for the IRA".[35] O'Brien opposed the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and opposed allowing Sinn Féin into government in Northern Ireland. He later resigned from the UKUP after his book Memoir: My Life and Themes called on Unionists to consider the benefits of a united Ireland to thwart Sinn Féin. In 2005 he rejoined the Labour Party. O'Brien defended his harsh attitudes and actions towards Irish republicans, saying "We do right to condemn all violence but we have a special duty to condemn the violence which is committed in our name".[36]
Conor Cruise O'Brien's many books include: States of Ireland (1972), where he first indicated his revised view of Irish nationalism, The Great Melody (1992), his unorthodox biography of Edmund Burke, and his autobiography Memoir: My Life and Themes (1999). He also published a collection of essays, Passion and Cunning (1988), which includes a substantial piece on the literary work of William Butler Yeats and some challenging views on the subject of terrorism, and The Siege: The Saga of Israel and Zionism (1986), a history of Zionism and the State of Israel. His books, particularly those on Irish issues, tend to be personalised, for example States of Ireland, where he made the link between the political success of the republican Easter Rising and the consequent demise of his Home Rule family's position in society. His private papers have been deposited in the University College Dublin Archives.
In 1963, O'Brien's script for a Telefís Éireann programme on Charles Stewart Parnell won him a Jacob's Award.[37]
He was a longtime columnist for the Irish Independent. His articles were distinguished by hostility to the 'peace process' in Northern Ireland, regular predictions of civil war involving the Republic of Ireland, and a pro-Unionist stance.
O'Brien held visiting professorships and lectureships throughout the world, particularly in the United States, and controversially in apartheid South Africa, openly breaking the academic boycott. A persistent critic of Charles Haughey, O'Brien coined the acronym GUBU (Grotesque, Unbelievable, Bizarre and Unprecedented), based on a statement by Charles Haughey, who was then Taoiseach, commenting on the discovery of a murder suspect, Malcolm MacArthur, in the apartment of the Fianna Fáil Attorney General Patrick Connolly.[38] Until 1994, O'Brien was a Pro-Chancellor of the University of Dublin.

If we are serious about protecting the students of this, or any state, the quickest solution is to have police or armed security at the schools. Some states and private schools have had armed security for years before this incident. Why is it such a bad idea to have armed officers at schools?
What parent hasn't told their child, "If you need help, find a police officer, they are there to help you." State universities have campus police departments. Full-time officers patrol the grounds equipped with semi-auto pistols, and AR-15 rifles. Why are our colleges so well protected while our elementary schools are targets? We name them "Gun Free Zones," but they have no way of stopping a crazed monster intent on doing harm.
No written law, no security door, no surveillance camera system physically prevents the acts of a criminal. Good people must follow the laws we have. Good people must stand up and stop them. I ask myself, why did his family arm him?
It is not fool proof, but it is at least as accurate as blaming an inanimate object for what one man did. Once again we forget the facts and blame the gun.

Obama's inauguration will blissfully not be disgraced by the presence of too many Cons:
While millions descend on Washington for the historic Inauguration of Barack Obama on Jan. 20, some Republicans see it as an occasion to get out of town.Out of power on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue and mostly out of favor on K Street, many emasculated elephants in the GOP herd will begin the Age of Obama with what amounts to an extended holiday vacation. Instead of fighting the quadrennial cold and what are expected to be record-setting crowds, they're heading out to greener pastures, with better temperatures, less hassle and more agreeable company.
"What better way to mark the Obama Inauguration (and his millions of adoring fans that will be in D.C.) than to get out of town to fabulous Las Vegas!" Charlie Spies, a Republican lawyer and former CFO to Mitt Romney's campaign wrote in a blast e-mail to GOP friends. "We hope you can join us for dinner and a fun evening on Monday, Jan. 19, to celebrate the last few hours of our Republican president in the White House."
Spies and his wife Lisa, a Republican fundraiser, have gotten about 15 takers so far for this last supper or, as they billed it in the e-mail, their own "Inaugural in Exile."
Poor babies. They aren't going to get their way anymore, so they have to go snivel in their luxury resorts. Running away from mean ol' reality once more.
I think we all know the appropriate song for this occasion:
(Tip o' the shot glass to Steve Benen)

Tips for breaking in new holster
I just got a Bianchi Shadow 7 II for a SW 1911 and it is extremely difficult to put the pistol in the holster all the way and extremely difficult to remove. I didn't have this with the Don Hume I purchased for my XD. Anyone have any tips for breaking in the Bianchi? This is my first of that brand.

From the Milt Sparks website, but would apply to any leather holster, really:

IMHO the tac rail is most likely the issue ( dont all smiths have rails lol ) and if not a rail issue some non colt/springer/kimber brands have slides that are a bit thicker than some holster makers allow for . Try putting the pistol into a ziplock freezer bag ( heavy plastic bag ) and holstering it fully for a day or two . That may formfit the holster enough , if not do the same thing after " spritzing " the inside of the holster untill damp .

I have used waxed paper on all my holsters. Wrap the gun in waxed paper leave overnight, for me the next morning the fit was perfect. I'd say use a fair amount of the paper to stretch out the fit a little.

It is this emotional link that makes art worth creating. My unique style is one that may have been similarly observed by quotes of the works of other famous abstract expressionists such as the dripping art of Jackson Pollock, in the more precise drawing of shapes by Joan Miro, or the Theorist Abstract Art of Wassily Kandinsky, but never a duplication of any other artist's search for truth and substance in my own completely original art. http://www.wilburmreeling.com/ Jennifer Vitalia - Paintings and Photography Laurie Waite-Fellner - Paintings, Drawings and Photography Tracy Pollock - Paintings and Graphics Norberto Torriente - Photography Art Consultants, Art Advisors, and Private Dealers American Art Advisor Art of India Kings Wood Art (Monroe) Appraisers, Framing and Other Art Services Gallery Paquette Founder Mike Paquette has created a virtual space where both collector and art enthusiast can view and purchase work by regional and international artists.

35,000 IDP students still held in Vavuniyaa internment camps[TamilNet, Friday, 06 November 2009, 09:15 GMT]Thirty-five thousand students displaced from Vanni in the last leg of war are still being detained in internment camps in Vavuniyaa. The number of IDP students in these internment camps earlier was about 65,000. The number had dropped to 35,000 following current resettlement, education authority sources claim. UNESCO has provided 50,000 US dollars for the maintenance of these IDP students. Part of UNESCO funds would be used to improve mental health related facilities of the students and for this purpose multimedia projectors for short films, computer games, music, drawing materials and books worth about Rs.3.5 million were handed over to the education authorities. |
