the first decent gaslight anthem video. but what the fuck is brian fallon doing? he's so emotional

I am 100% genuine when i say that is one of the best, most beautiful music videos I have ever seen.

This looks/sounds like a joke. Anyone with bare minimal skills could write this in 20 minutes.

solid concept that could have been much better as far as execution is concerned.

so apparently the album came out yesterday in australia. well i go buy it at lunch time :)
misinterpreter (July 18, 2012)
I cannot believe how contrived everything about this song, video, and band is.
leeunited (July 19, 2012)
I dunno i liked it. Tugs at the heart strings. Good little story there. But listening to the stream there are a lot of slow tunes. I thought they would ramp it up a little on this one.
hatetheplacelovethechords (July 20, 2012)
Pretty solid video, from a band whose music videos have just sorta mildly annoyed me more often than not in the past. Also, listened to the new album a couple times via the NPR stream... It's a Gaslight album, all right. The faster songs (45, Howl, etc.) are solid, the slower songs (National Anthem, Too Much Blood, etc.) just bore the hell out of me. Some songs can make mellow songs that I love; Gaslight is not one of those bands. But arguably their best album overall, possibly beats Sink or Swim (my second favorite) and blows American Slang (my least favorite) out of the water, as it has at least some of the energy that Sink or Swim had (and, I thought, Slang completely lacked). |

Rockies Review
Last updated 11/10/14
The 2012 Colorado Rockies season came to an end on Wednesday.Congratulations! The Colorado Rockies season is over, and you made it through. It took a long time, it was painful to watch, but in the end, the Rockies avoided 100 losses and are faced with inevitable change heading in to 2013.The Rockies ended on a positive note, winning both their final game and their final road series of the season. Despite that fact, the team still recorded 98 losses, a record for the franchise that was set in both 1993, the inaugural season, and 2005, the height of the "GenR" movement that eventually led to the 2007 World Series appearance.It is easy to get negative about this team. Bring up the front office with a group of Rockies fans and it almost certainly will bring agreement that significant change needs to happen. Bring up management and many believe that Jim Tracy is just as big of an issue as Dan O'Dowd and his front office team.However, in an otherwise terrible season, there were positives ...

Mary Marvin's surgery-day updates about AM 760's Jay Marvin
Mary and Jay Marvin at home in June.
Photo by Michael Roberts
Yesterday morning, we shared a note from Mary Marvin, wife of AM 760 host Jay Marvin, who's been off the air since March due to a series of serious medical issues. In it, she described the details of surgery he was to undergo that day at a facility in New Jersey. Because of some technical difficulties, her subsequent updates are only now reaching us. Fortunately, the news is upbeat. The surgery went well, as you'll gather from the descriptions accessible below.
11:28 a.m. mountain time, Monday, August 10
Dear Friends,This morning before they took Jay into surgery, he asked me to tell you all that he truly feels blessed to have you in his life and how much he appreciates all the prayers, thoughts and good energy you've sent him. Our dear friends Scott and Sunny Henderson and my best friend in the world next to Jay are here with us in person, but all of you are with us in our hearts. We couldn't have gotten through the last few months without you.
Jim just came and told us they are closing the front and preparing to do the back. Everything is going very well so far. The T7 and T8 were both destroyed. He removed them, and the pressure is now off the spinal column. Jim saw scaring from the infection, but he didn't see any signs of active infection, which is great news. They are doing a biopsy on everything they took out. All Jay's vital signs are great.
By the way, Jim told Jay he expects him to be well enough to be the lollipop man for at least one of his races next year. For all of you who aren't race fans, the lollipop person holds the stick that lets the driver know when to leave the pit. That's all the incentive Jay needs to kick butt and get well:)
I'll let you know when the surgery is over.
Again, thanks for being there for us!!!
All my love,
3:43 p.m. mountain time, Monday, August 10
Hi All,Great news....the surgery is over and Jay can wiggle his toes!!!!!! I'm going in to see him:) Thank God for Jim Lowe!!!!
Much Love,

National Register Properties in South Carolina Pawleys Island Historic District, Georgetown County (Pawleys Island) |
The island exemplifies a way of life in its beauty, its setting and its overall landuse. Pawleys is one of the earliest of South Carolina's summer beach settlements and maintains integrity in the natural relationship of marsh, beach and dune. The unusual number of old houses which have been maintained enhances the natural environment to which they are well adapted. The building style is a variation of West Indian architecture which has been adapted to Pawleys climatic conditions. The original houses on Pawleys are not mansions but summer retreats, sturdily built and large enough to accommodate big families. Designed for the greatest degree of ventilation, with porches on multiple sides and with high brick foundations providing protection against gale tides, many of the 20th century buildings have adhered to the traditional design that has proven well suited to this environment. Since the plantation families resided at Pawleys from May to November, the houses were equipped with large chimneys and fireplaces. Breezeways attached at the rear of the houses led to the kitchens. Servant's quarters were usually one or two room cabins equipped with fireplaces. A few remained at the time of nomination. Other structures important to Pawleys are the wooden docks with open "summer houses" extending into the salt water creek and the long boardwalks with "summer houses" which cross the dunes and offer easy access to the beach. The district includes the central portion of the island, an unspecified number of properties ranging from ca. 1780 to post World War I, and includes shoreline and marshland since these are an integral part of the district both historically and geographically. Listed in the National Register November 15, 1972.

Carved Kashmiri Copper Samovar. browse these categories for related items... All Items: Archives:Regional Art: Pre 1900: item # 1116087
The Old Bazaar Alameda CA 94501 510-910-3922 Guest Book $550.00 |
SOLD Meticulously hand carved Kashmiri Copper Samovar. Heavily patinated, This particular samovar has some amazingly fine foliate detail featuring flowers and leaves, and lotus flowers with a serpent handle, and fancy ornamental openwork at the base. The lid had a smaller lid for access to the coal chamber tube which heats the water from within. This has been tested for leaks. I filled it to within 1 inch from the top and let it set for an hour, and there is no sign of leakage. It is in very good condition. Measuring 12" tall, and 10" from handle to spout, and weighing three pounds this is far more solid and substantial than usual for Kashmir copperwork from this period, This is estimated to be made in Kashmir 100 to 150 years ago. |

How much this game will be cost, will it sell-able on steam?
Can player level up like Killing floor?
The Haunted is a fast paced thirdperson action horror game that focuses on delivering an intense multiplayer experience. Your goal is to liberate cursed places and survive the assault from the minions of hell. The game features several multiplayer modes such as coop-survival, demons vs. humans and demonizer. The Unreal Engine 3 powered graphics lay a perfect tone for the gameplay.
23 comments by HEGI on Oct 25th, 2011
We are proud to announce that The Haunted: Hells Reach has been released via several download distribution channels today. The development team will keep the game fresh with free future updates and improvements! But enough with the words, as there is nothing more to say other than get your copy now and enjoy the intense action and tell all your friends about it! See you in Hell!
You can purchase the game via the following stores.
How much this game will be cost, will it sell-able on steam?
Can player level up like Killing floor?
Target price point: 20$
Yes it will be on Steam
The player can level-up and get better weapons, but its not permanent currently
A definate buy for me, awesome mod - sure to be an awesome standalone title. I'll take variety of MP modes over character leveling anyday! KF gets old fast with only one game mode and to be honest the leveling of my character was the only thing that kept me playing the game as I grew more and more bored of it, which is a trait I hate in games.
So player can't carry their progress to another game like killing floor, huh?
I never play the haunted before so i would like to ask.
I'll buy it for $20, but you should be nice and lower it to like $15, or maybe $10... or $5... or $1
the only thing that bugs me about this is those character models...Everything here is so well designed and beautifully detailed, except the characters.
this looks awesome =D !!!
so will this really be on consles and stuff then ? :D
Instant buy for me as soon it gets to PS3 :)
Congrats on making it to standalone, i loved the mod and can't wait for the release!

Prathap, Gangan and Rameshbabu, C (1985) Field-Consitent strain interpolations for the quadratic shear flexible beam element. Technical Report. National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore,India.
Full text available as:PDF Restricted to Archive staff only Download (2360Kb) |
A shear flexible (i,e Timoshenko) quadratic isoparametric beam element with three degrees of freedom per node is critically examined from the point of view of the consistency of the constrained strain fields that arise in the thin beam limits.The errors, in terms of convergence of displacement fields and violent oscillations of stress fields that emerge when exactly integrated elements are used. are predicted a priori and confirmed with numerical experiments.The rationale behind the use of optimal stress sampling at gaussian points is also derived directly from these arguments.

[FIXED-137] Only 2 events on data Stores?
I'm missing a lot of events on the Stores/Proxies/Readers... There is no "load", "beforeload", "save" etc. like in ExtJs 3.2.1.
7 Jul 2010 1:18 PM #2
7 Jul 2010 2:35 PM #3
Additionally, the 'datachanged' event gets fired twice for a single load.
Without the 'load' semantics, using stores will be hard.
Also, there is a bug whereby the url: field is not conveyed when used as a default config value such as:
Code:this.store = new Ext.data.JsonStore({ // store configs autoDestroy: true, url: '../jsp/data.jsp', <---- this does not get set correctly internally and buildUrl() throws an error storeId: 'menu', // reader configs root: 'items', idProperty: 'text', fields: ['text','card','source'] });
7 Jul 2010 11:17 PM #4
@Sesshomurai the way a store works is like this:
Code:booksLibrary = new Ext.data.JsonStore({ autoLoad: false, getGroupString: function(record){ return record.get('title')[0]; }, model: 'book', proxy: { url: '/books.json', type: 'ajax', reader: { root: 'books', type: 'json', }, writer: { type: 'json', } }, storeId: 'books', });
Code:Ext.regModel('book', { idProperty: 'id', fields: [ {name: 'id', type: 'string'}, {name: 'title', type: 'string'}, {name: 'slug', type: 'string'}, {name: 'author', type: 'string'}, {name: 'chapters', type: 'object'}, ], });
8 Jul 2010 3:14 AM #5
Yeah. I see they have the model pattern too. But the example I posted above came directly from the Touch API for JsonStore. I tried it, and it doesn't work cuz of a bug is all. But otherwise, it works the other way too. Apparently.
15 Sep 2010 8:52 PM #6
We've added several additional events to Stores recently, including beforeload, load, add, remove, datachanged and beforesync. Some of these will become available as of the next release. Please leave additional comments if you are missing events that would help you write your applications.

The Up wristband has promise as a fitness tracker, but we can't recommend it until Jawbone can make it stop bricking.
Read the full review →Heads up! A newer version of this product is out!
New York Times says:
The Up band is something, but it could be so much more. Fewer bugs. Simpler software. A wireless link. The ability to track other kinds of activity besides walking. A less crude diet manager. Compatibility with other phones. quote

The UP isn't perfect, but for $100, it sure does get a lot of things right... As an unobtrusive, motivational device that provides better feedback about your daily lifestyle choices than just sitting around reflecting on your own ever could, the UP is genius.
Read the full review →The Up band is something, but it could be so much more. Fewer bugs. Simpler software. A wireless link. The ability to track other kinds of activity besides walking. A less crude diet manager. Compatibility with other phones.
Read the full review →I was excited about this product. If it weren't for the bricking issue, it would be fantastic. I hope Jawbone figures out what's wrong, and fixes it quickly. When it does, I'll revisit this review, and re-rank it. But until that happens I cannot in good faith tell anyone to buy one.
Read the full review →So, yes, the Up has great potential as a health and wellness gadget. And, yes, the Up worked fabulously — until it stopped working entirely... until Jawbone can prove that it has remedied what's causing the wristbands to fail at an alarming rate, no one should consider buying the Up.
Read the full review →As much as we'd hoped that UP would be spectacular, our experience with it was less than thrilling. The wristband design is pretty close to where it needs to be, the technology inside feels a generation or two behind the curve, the software is limited, and the price tag is just too high.
Read the full review →For the average user this product is very easy to use, and in my testing has been relatively accurate throughout the day. The only changes I'd like to be made would be the style and feel, but the technology inside is definitely compelling.

Now that I have it well it's ok. I think the biggest this is it feels like they rushed to get it out for the Christmas...
Read the full review →I initially gave the UP a 4.5--I initially loved the device. However, my band malfunctioned and "bricked" after using it for less than three weeks. Many, many other owners have reported similar problems -- just check their company message board. I would not recommend buying one until these...
Read the full review →I'm not using the food diary component as it's a bit trying but I find the sleep monitor and pedometer functions to be extremely useful, as well as the alarm and movement reminders if for know other reason than that it makes you conscious of and hence more cogent about the related activities....
Read the full review →I had high expectations for this product given all the hype...what a disappointment. Everything from the setup to the ridiculous 3.5mm jack to sync data. How about the display & feedback LED...sad. My original device failed after three days of use...returned it to Best Buy...repeated this...
Read the full review →I am on my 3rd Jawbone Up. That one broke too. I'm not even sure I want them to replace this 3rd one. Maybe I'm just going to get Nike Fuel instead. It is annoying to have to constantly plug the band into your iphone to sync. Plain and simple. Also, the indicators on the device are too...

Read the full review →I'm still on my first Up - had it since October and it's still going strong. (I've lost my cap once.) The Up's sleep tracking is fantastic, activity tracking is so-so and food tracking is just useless.

The iDevice app is good, but it would be nice...

The 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
FPC Briefing
Michael H. Posner
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
Foreign Press Center
Washington, DC
March 11, 2010
Good afternoon and welcome to the Washington Foreign Press Center. This afternoon we have with us Assistant Secretary Michael Posner to discuss the release of the 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights. He will start out with some opening comments and then take your questions.
Thanks. Good afternoon. I want to just say a few words about the report and then mention a couple of trends and then take your questions.
The report – this is the 34
year the State Department has done the Human Rights Country Reports. It covers 194 countries. It's a huge report, over two million words. I can't figure out how many pages it is, but we know it's two million words. Literally, a thousand people or more worked on it – both reporting, editing, writing. And its purpose is really to – initial purpose was to inform the Congress in making decisions on foreign aid and trade in the 1970s. It's expanded much beyond that. It's used throughout the U.S. Government, but also relied on now by other governments, by intergovernmental organizations, by journalists. And I think most importantly it's become a real resource to people living in countries around the world who often don't get the information about what's happening in their own place.
The report is not a policymaking document. It really is intended as a factual basis for making policy, but it does not prescribe policies. And it's based on a premise that is very important to President Obama, Secretary Clinton, which is that we apply a single universal standard to every country, including ourselves, and that we have a fidelity to the truth. So the key challenge for us in doing this report is that we make a – not an analysis of policy, but really an assessment of what's happening on the ground.
A couple words just about trends. One of the things we see in the report is a range of human rights abuses that are generated by wars and internal conflicts. We identify at least 30 such wars in the world that are fueled by ethnic, racial, religious tensions. It's often the case that the most vulnerable groups in the society bear the brunt of the abuse and the violations – women, children, refugees.
We also identify in the report other vulnerable groups, the Roma, for example, in a number of European countries; LGBT community in Uganda, where there's a law pending that would further criminalize conduct and even impose the death penalty; discrimination against Muslims and Jews in Europe and the like.
Another trend that we see that we're paying increasing attention to is the effects of the new connective technologies – the internet, cell phones, and the like. Activists and citizens are using that technology more. Governments are reacting by trying to restrict access, restrict freedom of expression. Secretary Clinton talked about this in a speech in January. We have a lot on those issues in the report.
And then finally, a range of countries like Russia, like Egypt, like Sri Lanka, where a national security strategy includes overbroad interpretations of national security that curtail rights. I'm glad to speak about that if people have an interest.
I want to just mention a couple of places that we're paying particular attention to: China, where the government's human rights record remains poor and worsening in some areas, including increased cultural, religious repression in areas like Xinjiang with the Uighurs and in the Tibet area.
Iran – where an already poor human rights situation rapidly deteriorated after the June 2009 elections. At least 45 people were killed last year in clashes with police, 4,000 or more detained, another thousand in December.
And then, last but not least, some positive things we take great note of the efforts by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Liberia to address a longstanding human rights crisis in that country, including the completion of a quite extensive Truth and Reconciliation Commission report in 2009 and the prosecution in The Hague of Charles Taylor.
Some other positive notes – law reform in Georgia relating to criminal procedure; Ukraine Office of – on Anticorruption Policy set up a recent successful election; in Bhutan a transition to a constitutional parliamentary monarchy; and the first multiparty elections in the Maldives.
Last point for me is just that the – perhaps the most interesting development is the growth, the explosive growth, of nongovernmental advocacy in the human rights area. And we start from the premise that it's very hard to change societies from outside, but people are increasingly in their own societies challenging governments' behavior, organizing, speaking out. And that trend continues and I think it's the most important positive trend.
Let me stop there and then take your questions.
Just a reminder before we start to please wait for the microphones on either side and state your name and your organization.
Thomas Paggini, Swiss Radio. On the raising discrimination against Muslims in Europe, the report mentions, and you talked about this too earlier this morning, the Swiss minaret bank. Do you think this is a case of discrimination against Muslims?
Well, let me say a couple things about this, the vote on the Swiss minarets. The report makes two points. One is that the referendum last year where 57 percent of the Swiss public voted to ban minarets is a reflection of a growing popular sentiment throughout Europe, throughout Western Europe.
The second thing is that the Swiss Government reacted well and appropriately – and we say it in the report – by committing itself to trying to reverse the decision. It was a very popular referendum. But I think the trend is certainly of concern, and it's not just Switzerland. The minaret vote became almost like a symbol or an example of a much larger attitude or anxiety in a number of European countries about the influx of people from North Africa and the Middle East, a growing Muslim population. And those populations feel very vulnerable and that they are being discriminated against.
Let me follow-up.
Do you think that the decision of the majority of the Swiss population was a case of discrimination but the action of the government, the (inaudible) government, acted properly?
Yeah. I can't say what each of the Swiss voters were thinking, but the effect of that vote – the signal it sends to the Muslim community in Switzerland is that they're not being treated equally or fairly and they're being subjected to discrimination. That was a popular referendum initiated by individuals. The government didn't promote it, in fact, it opposed it, and the government took appropriate action afterwards to try to figure out how to remedy the problem.
Let's go to New York first. Go ahead, New York.
Hi. Secretary, I want to talk about Cuba. The report says that Cuba has 5,000 people that were imprisoned without charges. And recently – this week – President Lula compared the situation in Cuba, regarding the prisoners, to the situation in Brazil, regarding common prisoners in Sao Paulo. And some organizations are telling that maybe President Lula should be – should mediate negotiations to release – to improve the situation in Cuba.
So my first question is: Do you think that President Lula is a good mediator? Second, do you think that – this cooperation between the president in Cuba and the president that is in Brazil – do you think it's appropriate? And third, do the United States have any other measure regarding this situation in Cuba – how it will guide the foreign policy of the United States regarding Cuba? Thank you.
Let me start by saying that in the report we are particularly focused not on the broadest population of prisoners, but the 200 or so people that we would regard as political prisoners. There has been a longstanding pattern in Cuba, going back to the – probably to the '60s – of the government arresting people, detaining them because of their political views and their dissenting views against the government.
There were 75 people arrested in 2003 in a quite highly publicized sweep, and 57 of those of people – or 53 of those people are still being held and detained. One of them, actually a hunger-striker, Orlando Zapata Tamayo, died several weeks ago, and several others have apparently started a hunger strike in solidarity. So our focus is really on those individuals who are being held because of their views.
I think we would welcome the intervention or participation of any international leader who can act as an intermediary and can put pressure on the Cuban Government to release those people. It's our view that they're being held improperly, that the conditions in the prisons are poor. And there have been various efforts by various governments. The United States, as you probably know, is not probably in the best position to be negotiating these releases. We raise our voices, but we would welcome the intervention of the Brazilian Government or others to win their release.
Good afternoon. My name is Paul Korning. I'm with the Globe and Mail of Canada. I had a couple of questions about Afghanistan, and in particular, prison conditions. And the new report makes reference again this year to agents of the government being involved in extrajudicial killings, torture, terrible prison conditions. There's some notation of improvement, but still, things are very, very poor.
I'm particularly interested in whether you have any assessment about transferred prisoners. The United States keeps prisoners in Bagram and therefore has a good idea of the ongoing care and custody of battlefield detainees. But the other coalition nations largely transfer. Can you comment on what is likely to occur to transferred detainees once they get in the hands of the NDS and the ANP?
The report, as you say, identifies a range of serious human rights problems relating to detention imprisonment. And inevitably, in a country that's wracked by war and where there's so much military activity, there are going to be security detainees. We are aware of – also of the limitations, and report on them, in the Afghan legal judicial system to address those cases. Those are challenges we face and the Government of Afghanistan faces.
And one of the ongoing challenges, discussions is about the issue you raise – what – how much can the U.S. or the NATO countries that are participating there ensure or guarantee either safe treatment or fair process when those transfers occur? I don't have particular details of what happens, but I think the report makes clear and I'm certainly well aware that those are issues that are very much on our minds and will continue to be, particularly in this period where the violent – where the war and the violence is still ongoing and the government is – has been slow to build up a proper functioning system.
If I could just quickly follow, do you think the United States and its coalition partners are in the difficult position of transferring to torture?
I can't say that, and I think the report says in general there are concerns about treatment of prisoners across the board. I can't say – I'm not personally involved in reviewing the cases of transfer, but it's a place where the Afghan prisons certainly needs to be improved.
Let's go to the lady in the pink.
(Via interpreter) I would like to ask what your opinion is of the United States Government pertaining to --
Can I find out – identify.
The lady is an IV, international visitor from Tunisia.
Oh, great. Okay.
(Via interpreter) My question is about what is the U.S. Government's position about the siege or the blockade that was imposed by Israel on Gaza and the human right violations in Gaza by the Israeli Government.
The report – we actually have two reports side by side, one on Israel and one on the occupied territories. They both deal in some detail – the one on the occupied territories in particular – with Gaza. There's quite a bit of detail in those reports, and I – you got to take a look at it. A particular focus is the Operation Cast Lead which occurred in late December of 2008 and for about 20 days in January of 2009. And we report on some of the allegations, some of the concerns.
We've been involved, and I've personally been involved, in pursuing a U.S. Government commitment to – in the follow-up to the Goldstone Report. We had serious problems with that report – the methodology, some of the recommendations – but we also said and continue to say that there are serious allegations in the report that ought to be reviewed by all of the parties, including the Government of Israel. And there need to be credible accountability mechanisms. And so we continue to pursue those discussions and recognize the seriousness of the allegations.
Okay. We'll take two questions from here and then go to New York.
Thank you. Annabel Kim with MBC TV and Radio from Korea. I just wanted to ask on North Korea – I know that in this year's report, it says that the government's human rights record remained deplorable, whereas last year it said that the record remained poor. So does that mean that it has worsened this past year? Can you just touch up on North Korea?
Yeah. I'm not sure that there's any magic to those words. It's – the record is uniformly poor, deplorable – you can pick your adjective – closed society, total absence of dissent or ability to comment on what the government's doing, no free press, prisons are awful, lots of people being detained, being mistreated. There are – people live in hardship every single day in North Korea. It's one of the most closed societies in the world. And I'm really – I struggle to find anything positive to say. So it's poor, deplorable. It's not good.
The gentleman next.
(Inaudible.) What are the main standards you used in making the report? And did you take into consideration the particularities of the countries?
Yes. We – first of all, as I said at the outset, we are determined to apply a single standard to all countries. It's not a U.S. standard. It's an international standard. It's the standard in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the Convent on Civil and Political Rights. So it's a single yardstick. We do understand and recognize and appreciate the fact that different societies have different cultural, religious, historic traditions. We try to be mindful of that, but the subjects we're taking – if we're talking about torture or we're talking about prison conditions or we're talking about free expression, we are looking at what the international standards are and then evaluating those countries by a single standard.
New York, go ahead with your question, please.
Yeah. I didn't identify myself before. I'm Marilla Martins from the Globo, Brazil. So I would like you to comment about Brazil's situation. Is – but did it improve from the last year to this year?
I think the report speaks for itself. I'm not going to evaluate is it better or worse. There's some encouraging things that I have experienced, and let me say something about that. One of the things that I – and we do comment on this in the report. Brazil has been historically struggling with challenges in the labor sector – in particular, issues of child labor, forced labor. One of the things we're doing jointly with the Government of Brazil and the International Labor Organization is trying to address those problems.
And in fact, much to the credit of the Brazilian Government with the ILO and the U.S. Government, the Government of Brazil has started to work in your region with governments in neighboring countries – Paraguay and other neighbors – and in fact, is starting to look at ways in which some of the things that you've been doing domestically can be applied in Portuguese-speaking Africa.
So that's a longstanding issue, and I guess I would say both an area where I think there has been improvement on a big, important subject and a recognition not only of Brazil's role domestically, but some of the things it can do internationally.
Thank you. Sonia Schott, Globovision, Venezuela. I believe that you mentioned in your remarks that this report doesn't pretend to be a policymaker or don't prescribe policies, not even in the U.S. And I believe that the report highlights some human rights violation in Venezuela. I would like to know, does it mean that the relation between U.S. and Venezuela will be better or worse according to this report? Thank you.
Again, we're trying in this report simply to set out facts and to have that as a predicate, as a basis for the State Department, but other agencies of government, and others as well, to make intelligent policies. We have a – I don't need to tell you – a strained relationship with the Government of Venezuela, in part because we are critical and have been critical, and are in this report, of a range of practices. We're not alone. The OAS just did a report on Venezuela which very much reflects the things that are in this country report.
We're particularly concerned about the closing of space for civil society, by the closing of radio and television stations, by a range of things that have made it less easy for people internally within Venezuela to be publicly outspoken about things going on in the country. When we say those things, I imagine the Government of Venezuela is not happy, but that – it's – we're required to do this by law. It's also, I think, the right thing for us to do. And our policy has to evolve based on a clear understanding of what's happening there.
A couple of days ago, it was a human rights report also released by the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights.
I would like to know, there is any relation or any connection between this report and your report? And how do you collect the information in that case regarding Venezuela? Thank you.
It's a good question. I should have said something about that at the beginning. Our primary source of information is our embassy representatives who do their own reporting and investigation, talk to people in country. But we also look very much at the work of intergovernmental bodies like the OAS, the UN. We look at reports from human – private human rights organizations, both international organizations and those working on a national level, and any other information that comes our way.
The process of getting at this information is a pretty rigorous one, but we start from the premise that we want U.S. officials to be in the middle of this and having their own original conversation so that there's primary research done as well. And we communicate with the OAS. The OAS certainly gets copies of our reports and we read their report very closely, so there's a good working relationship.
We're going to go in the back and then we'll come up here.
Thank you. My name is Shahinaz Abdel Salam. I'm a blogger from Egypt and I'm here with Freedom House New Generation program. I saw your report and I saw the part of freedom of expression about bloggers. And a lot of names were mentioned before by the Department of State, but they still behind the bar, like (inaudible) and Karim Amer. What will be the next step? I mean, this is a report. What's after the report? And what is your message to our repressive regimes that governing our countries?
The report on Egypt also is quite clear in its expressions of – detailed expressions of what's happening to bloggers and to journalists, as well as restrictions on political opponents of the government, people in the human rights community. We also talk about some of the recent violence against the Coptic Christian community in Naj Hammadi, where seven people were killed in front of a church on Christmas Eve.
We talk about –
Uh-huh. We're very concerned about all these things. I was in Egypt in January. I spoke to government officials, I spoke to NGOs, I spoke to some bloggers, raised them in a press conference. These are things we're paying attention to. The state – the emergency law. There's a long list but our intention is to stay with this and to be clear with you and with others that this is part of our bilateral relationship with the Government of Egypt. These are hard issues but they're important issues. The government knows that these are things that matter to us.
Thank you. Yasmeen Alamiri from Saudi Press Agency. Can you please speak to the specific grievances, I guess, or the concerns of the Goldstone Report? I mean, you said that they need to be investigated further, but what are the – I mean, it was – it came out of the UN, so obviously it's a legitimate source that backed it. So I don't know why, after the fact, there's an issue.
Also secondly, if I could follow up to semi the same point, but with Saudi Arabia, do you think the concerns about press freedom, bloggers, would ever reach to the government level where maybe in the next trip, Secretary of State Clinton or President Obama or Vice President Biden would take up these concerns with the leadership of these countries?
On the issue of Goldstone – Gaza issue first. Three different things that we've said, and we've said them consistently since last September. One is not related to the report but the context in which it was presented, and we've said that and believed that there is a disproportionate attention to Israel in the Human Rights Council. This session, this March session, there are not one but five different resolutions dealing with Israel. It's the only country in the world that has a permanent agenda item, Item Seven. So that's the first piece. That's not Goldstone.
The second piece is that the Government of Israel didn't talk to him, so he has one side of the picture. That's not his fault, but the report suffers from having a partial picture of what went on.
The third thing is that the report doesn't deal – it deals in – it's a 570-page report. It deals very – in very few pages with the phenomenon of an urban war, an asymmetrical war. And again, there are a range of challenges in protecting civilians and providing humanitarian safeguards when you're fighting against an enemy that's working in a densely populated urban area. That's a piece of the puzzle.
It does not mean – nothing I've just said negates what I said before, which is that there are serious allegations in the report, we take them seriously, we've urged the Israelis to have a review and investigation. I've met with the group that's doing it. We continue to meet with them and push. They've issued an interim report. This is General Mandelblit. It is a beginning of a process; it's not the end. And we continue to say there has to be credible accountability mechanisms. So that's the piece there.
On the Saudi question, we are very mindful of a range of problems in Saudi Arabia, a range of human rights violations, which are ongoing, relating to prisons, relating to religious freedom, relating to the rights of women, relating to textbooks that are used in the schools. There are a range of things we've raised, are raising. I've met with and talked to our ambassador to Saudi Arabia. My job is to encourage as many U.S. officials to deal with Saudi Arabia on different subjects to make this a part of the dialogue.
Including (Inaudible.)
At whatever --- At the highest level. I mean, this is – these are important issues. People in our government need to be – and it shouldn't just be me; I'm the human rights guy. We need to have a broader dialogue with the Government of Saudi Arabia about human rights issues.
And do you think it would happen?
I think it's happening in different ways, and more can be done.
Thank you. This is David Aladuete with El Pais from Spain. Let me go back to Europe very briefly. You were saying – you were talking not only about an increase in hostile sentiments towards Muslims, also the Jews, and you also mentioned the Roma. Do you think or you have any proof that racism or some kind of xenophobic sentiment is increasing in some European countries? Can you name which ones, if that is the case, and the recent reasons associated to it? Thank you very much.
I – proof is probably a strong word. There is certainly – there are many reports done. Some in the report we're releasing today, some done by European agencies. ODIHR, for example, from the OSCE has done reports in the last year on hate crimes; some by private organizations, like the one I used to work for, Human Rights First. There are – there has in the last decade been a trending up of more violent attacks against people, presumably because of their religion, or in the case of the Roma, their status.
There is a concern that we have, and again, I think there's enough of a pattern to say that there is a growing uneasiness on the part of many people in Western Europe with the increased number of Muslims in your society. And there's been a response, in some cases a violent response, in a number of instances: discriminatory actions in terms of housing, in terms of jobs, in terms of day-to-day contact. So, yeah, this is a problem. I think it's a problem that we would like to work with European governments on, but it's something that I think needs to be given attention.
My name is (inaudible) from Syria, a New Generation Fellow with the Freedom House. I think the country report is missing a very important point. I think that is, we understand that the universal law, the Universal Declaration for Human Rights, is – doesn't have the force of law. But also, we need to know that in many countries, there is law support the violation of human rights. I expect to see this article on the first page of the report to tell all the world that this country – that the law in this country supported this violation so that would be a good motive to change this law.
Okay. Thank you.
It's an interesting question. We're trying to do two things here. We're trying to evaluate both what's the official structure, what are the laws in Syria or China wherever. And we're also looking at official conduct. And we try as best we can to identify those laws that are, on their face, violative of these international standards. And if we missed some in Syria, I would urge you to come tell us and we'll look at that for next year. But we're also very focused on lots of governments have decent laws and then they're misapplied in ways that violate human rights. So we're trying to do both things.
We only have time for one more question. Go ahead, New York.
Hi. Once again Brazil, the report tells that – criticizes very much regarding the situation in penitentiaries and the violence and – in major cities in Brazil. So what are the sources you have for this report?
As I tried to say before, we start with our own embassy staff, generally a human rights officer or political officer in the embassy, and we ask them, we instruct them to go out and meet with a wide range of people in the country where they serve – government officials, human rights people, church leaders, community leaders, journalists, the like. The goal is to get as broad a picture as possible from as many different sources. We then supplement that with information from nongovernmental organizations like Amnesty International. We look at what the UN rapporteurs are saying. We look at what's being – what else is in the public domain. So it's a composite of our own sourcing, our own reporting, and what's out in the public domain from experts.
The issue you raise is a longstanding challenge for Brazil but for many countries. We – and we're mindful of that, including this country, which has two million, I think, people in federal or state or local prisons. And there are all kinds of groups in the United States focused on our own prison record. But our – again, our task here is to identify the issue and, where there are violations, simply to call them out. These are problems that take a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of energy to overcome, but they are things that we expect governments to be doing.
We'll have to end there. Thank you all for coming.

CERN: LHC Data Confirms Particle is "God Particle", But the Devil is in the Details

The LHC is the single most expensive piece of scientific equipment in the history of mankind.
(Source: FermiLab)
Scientists are still grappling with whether Standard Model of particle physics still applies
It took the construction of the
most expensive piece of laboratory equipment
in the history of mankind (with a sticker price of $10B USD), but last July the
European Organization for Nuclear Research
(CERN) reported that it was 99.99997% sure that it had found the Higgs boson -- an incredibly elusive yet critical subatomic particle that creative members of the media dubbed "the God Particle".
I. After Analyzing More Data, CERN is More Certain it Saw a Higgs Boson
The results from
the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) validated an earlier
99.8 percent (roughly 3σ) sure
spotting by the
U.S. Department of Energy
now-defunct Tevatron
Now researchers have
ratcheted up
the certainty even higher. Researchers with CERN have combed through two and a half times more data since last July, examining the results from the
. Among the things measured were the interactions between the particles created, the parity of the created particles, and their spin.
The Higgs boson in most models is expected to have no spin. Likewise, the new mystery particle observed in
record 7 TeV and 8 TeV proton collisions
had no spin. CMS spokesperson Joe Incandela comments, "The preliminary results with the full 2012 data set are magnificent and to me it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is."
As Mr. Incadela suggests, the bigger question was whether this was the Higgs boson predicted by the prevailing theory of particle physics -- the Standard Model -- or whether the evidence pointed to an alternate theory. As they say, the devil is in the details.
II. But What Kind?
When it came to the "God particle" those details point to the Standard Model being correct. The Standard Model predicts a positive parity, and likewise the detectors indicated the mystery particle to have a positive parity.
Comments ATLAS spokesperson Dave Charlton, "The beautiful new results represent a huge effort by many dedicated people. They point to the new particle having the spin-parity of a Higgs boson as in the Standard Model. We are now well started on the measurement programme in the Higgs sector."

In a sense, there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to the identity of the Higgs boson -- only the quest for the truth. The LHC has previously provided evidence that
some aspects of supersymmetry theory are flawed
and need to be reworked. By contrast the Higgs boson parity results appear to confirm the prevalent theory.

With the parity certain, the last piece of evidence that researchers need to determine that it's the Standard Model Higgs boson is to make sure its observed decays match those predicted by the Standard Model. To do that, the researchers will have to log more high power tests with the LHC. The Higgs boson is only created once every trillion (10
) proton-proton collisions, or so. As it can presumably decay in many ways, scientists will need to create more Higgs boson and observe their decays in order to fully verify that the Standard Model holds true.
Finding the Higgs boson is a major step on the road to discovering the secrets of the universe.

For now researchers are very sure they found the Higgs boson, but only "pretty sure" that the critical Standard Model theory is correct.

RE: single most expensive piece of scientific equipment?
I disagree. If we'd rework trade agreements to allow the poor countries free trade(not second world, third world) to the tune of $160 billion they'd develop alot more. Developed nations actually see a population decrease, as is evident all over europe where population will actually decline over the next few decades.
Money isn't the problem. We've collectively sent far more then $160 billion to africa in the past 20-30 years. We've also gotten all of that money back at a net profit. That's right - humantarian aid is profitable. Turns out, when we say "give", we mean "loan".
The problem is we do not allow them to be independant. With good reason, there's already hardly any work to go around in developed economies last thing we need is even more products that do not improve the local labor situation. If you're sick of cheap stuff from china just imagine the entirety of africa trying to industrialize.
The best way to decrease population is to increase living standards. If people are secured of a full life with a full stomach, they won't produce 5-10 kids to help them secure food or just in case half of them die while securing food. Just look at europe, just 50 years ago it was completly normal to have a large family of 5-10 kids. My dad's has 6. In my generation it's normal to be one of 2-3 kids, it's just me and my kid sister. While i was growing up i've never met anybody from my generation who even wanted to have kids, they all wanted to make careers, still is the case and i know of very few around 25 who actually do have kids.
That'll never happen for africa though, not until europe and the US are out of the picture. We value our standards of living far more then we value real humantarian actions. Not even saying i'm any different, simply pointing out why there's been money going to africa for 40+ years now and they've only gotten poorer.

International News Half of Hospital Beds in Democratic Republic of Congo Taken by AIDS Sufferers: UNDecember 11, 2003 Half of hospital beds in the Democratic Republic of Congo
are occupied by people with HIV/AIDS, the UN secretary-general's
special representative to the country said Dec. 1. "It will take
years to measure the exact impact of AIDS in the DRC, but 50
percent of the beds in hospitals are occupied by people suffering
from the disease," said William Lacey Swing. Efforts to fight
HIV/AIDS have been hampered by nearly five years of civil war,
which broke out in 1998, and drew in half a dozen other African
countries at its height. Swing said the UN mission is using the
press and broadcast media, particularly the popular Radio Okapi,
to increase HIV/AIDS awareness. The mission will also target the
public by disseminating pamphlets through nongovernmental
organizations and by publishing articles on AIDS in local
publications, said Mathy Mupapa, a UN communications officer.
Adapted from:Agence France Presse 12.01.03 Former Fighters in D.R.C.'s Civil War Face High HIV Prevalence, Receive HIV Services With Reintegration Programs This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network.

Compare prices
Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Cut the flesh off one mango and blitz to a purée in a food processor, then set aside. Finely dice the second mango and set aside separately. Gently warm the milk with the butter just until the butter melts. In a large bowl, mix the flour and sugar together with your fingers so there aren't any lumps, then add the yeast and a pinch of salt.
- Beat 2 of the eggs. Make a well in the flour, then work in the mango purée, beaten eggs and enough milk to bring the mixture together as a loose dough. Work in the raisins, then the diced mango, until smooth, but slightly sticky. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for 2 hrs in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 200C/ fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut in half. Work each half into a flat ciabatta-shaped loaf, then place on a non-stick baking sheet. Leaving one end intact, cut each loaf into 3 along the length. Plait each loaf, then pinch the dough at the ends so they hold their shape. Leave for 30 mins until risen slightly, then beat the remaining egg with a splash of milk. Brush the loaves liberally with egg wash, then bake for 40-50 mins until browned – they should sound hollow when tapped underneath. Leave to cool completely before eating. The loaves can now be frozen for up to 1 month.

Comments, questions and tips
I have to agree, the dough was impossible to work with. I added so much extra flour and am waiting for the result, it´s still in the oven!
Such a shame as usually all recipes are flawless. I do wonder if I killed the yeast by adding the milk/butter too hot. The recipe sounds great but I am not hopeful
I had exactly the same problems as the previous reviewers. The dough became way too sticky to handle after adding the mango but this was resolved by adding more flour. However when I cooked it, it browned way too quickly and needed less time than it said it needed. Once cooked it was really dense and quite burnt (probably my own fault) so we gave the birds a feast!
I made the bread, but after reading the comments decided to leave out the pureed mango. I had to add a bit more milk, but the end result was delicious and cooked in the stated time. Next time I am going to try it with cranberries and some spice, but no mango just the raisins. It was just like the famous fruit loaves you can buy.
Although the end result was lovely, I had similar problems making this. The mix was way too wet and sloppy, very difficult to mix and impossible to 'knead' or work with. I too added some more flour, but it didn't seem to be making any difference and I didn't want to add too much. I ended up putting most of the dough in a loaf tin, and the rest dumping on a baking sheet in a roughly square shape. Haven't eaten the square one yet, but the loaf came out well and was very nice, both fresh and toasted with butter. I threw out the recipe whilst this was in the oven but have since retrieved it as it did taste nice. Would make again but only as a normal 'loaf' in a tin. The method above is definitely flawed.
I really looked forward to making this, but I agree entirely with the person who rated this on 09 March. I am an experienced bread maker and had to add tons more flour to the mix to keep it from sticking to the board I was kneading it on. It was too dense (probably all that added flour) and did cook too quickly. Since none of the reviews was exactly sparkling and most of the comments were similar (dense, wet, sloppy), the question is who tested it? It was only because I persevered that I ended up with edible loaves, but they should have risen higher than they did.
Mix did become very wet after the mango was added, so taking on board the other comments, I added more flour and worked the dough more and after rising. I t came out fine, I didn't think that the bread itself had a lot of flavour but it was lovely with loads of butter. Also found that it cooked quicker than the suggested time and had to be covered up at the end of cooking as it browned so quickly

Ok finally got a chance to review the thread. Let me start by saying this is not a wolfdog. For many reasons some already stated such as the animal's birthdate, markings, lack of banded color, etc. (BTW northen breeds are notorious for howling, this does not a wolfdog make). What concerns me is not so much the content but its needs if indeed it is blind and the owners ability to meet those needs. This to me at least looks like a situation where good intentions do not necessarily make a good situation. IMO at this point the best we can do is continue to provide information on support and facilities for special needs canines. |

We had huskies next door to us and the dingbat owner (rescuer...hah) let them stay out ALL night and that's all they did ALL night. BTW, even if that was a wolf dog, it's not 97% wolf, it may be a low content but definitely not 97% which leads me to suspect it's just a regular (but cute!) mutt. We had a rare opportunity to foster a (full) coyote pup and that pup was absolutely nothing like a dog. NOTHING. Other than it's puppy breath This |

Is there a reputable northern breed or even large breed rescue in your area?
I think it's pretty obvious now that this is not a wolf dog but he does have special needs.

I didn't know wolf dogs were only born in spring and the pups are always black. But when I looked at the picture, I didn't think the pup looked like a wolf because the snout was too short. Speaking of wolves, I think I might've had a wolf mix dog once for a very short time until we found a home for it with a farmer. It looked like a malamute, but the tail didn't curl at all. It had slanted white eyes and 2 black stripes going down its snout that turned to brown right above the nose. There were 3 reasons I thought it had wolf in it. One was the size. This was the tallest and longest malamute like dog I've ever seen and it was a female. Second reason was the way it acted. It wasn't potty trained and when it peed, it pranced around and howled like it was showing off the fact that it peed. The third reason I thought it might be a a wolf mix was it had some sort of gland on its tail that smelled really weird. Does that sound like a wolf dog?

I actually did know about the howling thing. I thought I mentioned that I knew that didn't mean anything for sure, but realized too late to edit that I happened.
There's an obnoxious malamute near me. His trademark move is to get as close to someone's face as possible and howl. I wonder why Gabe doesn't like him...

They have accepted the fact that they gotten taken and would like to keep the puppy, since owning huskies, malamutes, etc. is still completely legal. They're having a blood test done on the puppy to determine which breeds he is (and to prove, in case there is any question, that he is not actually a wolf hybrid) Thank you for all of your assistance and advice.

There are lots of breeds that are taller and longer than Malamutes, and contrary to popular belief, most wolves are not that large. I think they average about the same as GSDs, 65-90 lb. Some subspecies may grow larger, but we have many dog breeds that are much larger than wolves. The idea that a dog is part wolf because it is large, is a fanciful one, and probably encouraged by wolfdog breeders. Just because a dog is not housebroken does not mean it is part wolf. Prancing around howling after urinating sounds more like a Malamute. All dogs have scent glands--the anal glands--and there is another one about midway down the tail. |

Lastly I was shown a late level of the game that recreated The Last Stand of Man. In this scene you played as Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, or Gandalf. Not only did you have to attack and defeat your foes, but you must also defend the other members of The Fellowship. You are shown two health bars belonging to two of your companions. When one of the health bars gets low, you must run to your friend's aid and give them time to heal. This added a bit of variety to the straight-on, attack-everything-in-sight levels.
Like The Two Towers, The Return of the King focuses and expands on select scenes from the movie. Framing each level are clips from the upcoming movie, which transition nicely into cutscenes running off the game's engine. The environments feature more interactive objects than the ones found in its predecessor. You'll be hurling spears and throwing torches to light enemies on fire. EA has implemented a streaming technique, which allows for bigger and more detailed levels. Overall I was extremely impressed with the game's visuals, though fans that don't want the movie spoiled might want to wait a bit until they play this game.
Perhaps the best part of the game is that two players can play it cooperatively. Two gamers on the same console can play the Xbox and GameCube versions. The real treat is on the PlayStation 2, where cooperative play can also be enjoyed over the Internet. Making the PS2 version even sweeter is that its online cooperative mode supports USB headsets, so you plot out attacks with your companion, talk some trash, or even say dirty limericks in Entish.
With its impressive visuals and simple yet exciting gameplay, The Return of the King is sure to be a hit with mainstream and hard-core audiences. It totally delivers the feel of the Peter Jackson movies, but New Line gave EA enough liberties so that it works well as an interactive experience. As good as The Two Towers was, this game does everything better by offering better graphics, more characters, and a wider variety of gameplay. Make way for the king in early November.
