The National Association of Scholars (NAS) is a non-profit organization in the United States. The NAS describes itself as "an independent membership association of academics working to foster intellectual freedom and to sustain the tradition of reasoned scholarship and civil debate in America's colleges and universities."[1] The NAS is generally viewed as a politically conservative advocacy group,[2][3] although it rejects the label.
History and organization[edit]
Originally called the Campus Coalition for Democracy, the National Association of Scholars was founded in 1987 by Herbert London and Stephen Balch[1][4] with the goal of preserving the "Western intellectual heritage".[2] Peter Wood is the president.[5]
The advisory board of the NAS has included several notable conservatives, such as Jeane Kirkpatrick, a U.S. ambassador and adviser to Ronald Reagan. Chester Finn helped to form the conservative movement's education policies.[6] Irving Kristol, founder of the neoconservative movement, "characterized multiculturalism as 'a desperate strategy for coping with the educational deficiencies and associated social pathologies of young blacks.'"[6]
NAS membership is open to all. This is a change as of October 2009. Before that NAS restricted membership to academics. NAS "now encourage anyone who agrees with the principles we espouse to join." NAS does distinguish between academic and public members. Membership includes a subscription to Academic Questions.[7] According to the association, it has affiliates in 46 states, as well as in Guam and Canada.[8]
The National Association of Scholars opposes campus speech codes, which it argues violate the First Amendment. The NAS strongly objects to racial and gender preferences in college admissions and hiring, but states that it does not oppose all forms of affirmative action. Time Magazine in 1991 called NAS the "faculty opposition to the excesses of multiculturalism."[9] The NAS describes its main work as the defense of "the core values of liberal higher education."[1]
William A. Donohue, former NAS board member[10] and leader of the politically conservative Catholic League,[11] writes in American Conservatism: an Encyclopedia (2006) that the NAS wishes "to foster renewed respect for the proposition that rational discourse and scholarship are the basis of academic life" and to emphasize "the Western commitment to freedom and democracy."[12] On the other hand, Jacob Weisberg stated in 1991 that NAS is "prone to conflating its admirable ideals with far less compelling political prejudices."[13]
Since its founding, NAS has released six official policy statements.
"The Wrong Way to Admit the Other Half: Why We Oppose Class-Based Affirmative Action" (June 2013) critiques class-based affirmative action for undermining the principle of individual merit.[14]
"Fixing Sustainability and Sustaining Higher Education" (April 2011) recommended that colleges and universities protect the academic freedom of scientists who express skepticism of man-made global warming and treat the campus sustainability movement as an object of inquiry rather than a body of precepts.[15]
"Rebuilding Campus Community: The Wrong Imperative" (July 2008) expressed concern over the proliferation of non-curricular, typically residential, programs instructing students in progressive ideologies of social change.[16]
"Sexual Harassment and Academic Freedom" (January 1993) urged colleges and universities to respond to instances of sexual harassment promptly and firmly and to avoid vague definitions of harassment.[17]
"The Wrong Way to Reduce Campus Tensions" (January 1991) articulated NAS's belief that individual evaluation on the basis of personal merit is central to achieving educational opportunity for all and to maintaining academic community.[18]
"Is the Curriculum Biased?" (November 1989) defends Western Civilization courses.[19]
NAS describes its mission as "to foster intellectual freedom and to sustain the tradition of reasoned scholarship and civil debate."[20] It publishes research articles and commentary on its website, including arguments on both sides of debated issues. After the Climatic Research Unit email controversy (also known as "Climategate"), NAS published articles by Kerry Emanuel, an MIT professor of atmospheric sciences, defending the science of global warming[21] and by H. Sterling Burnett, an environmental ethics Ph.D., expressing skepticism about climate change.[22] NAS has also published articles in favor of[23] and against[24] the new Common Core State Standards Initiative for K-12 education, and articles defending[25] and criticizing[26] online education.
NAS has been funded extensively by politically conservative foundations, including the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation, the Bradley Foundation, the Castle Rock Foundation, and the Smith Richardson Foundation.[27][28]
The NAS's quarterly journal, Academic Questions, publishes articles and interviews on higher education, with a focus on the perceived excesses of political correctness in academia. Academic Questions describes itself as "a journal dedicated to strengthening the integrity of scholarship and teaching." Its name comes from the "broad range of questions" it explores, related to "the maintenance of scholarly standards, the quality and even-handedness of peer review, the preservation of intellectual tolerance and civility on campus and within academic associations, and the relationship between government and education."[29]
In a review in The Times Literary Supplement, Jonathan Rauch noted the journal's ideological tone, writing, "Though written mainly by scholars, it is a missionary journal, not a scholarly one." Rauch concluded: "If at times hectoring, Academic Questions is that rare and useful thing among journals—a live wire."[30]
Most issues of Academic Questions focus on a particular theme in higher education. Previous themes have included "Why Study Islam, India, and China?"; "Why Study the West?"; "Hard Cases: America's Law Schools"; "Liberal Education and the Family"; and "A Crucible Moment? A Forum on the President's Call for a New Civics."
Academic Questions has included articles by Jacques Barzun, Eugene Genovese, Thomas Sowell, and Terry Eagleton, and it contains interviews with Tom Wolfe, Julius Lester, Napoleon Chagnon, and Joseph Morrison Skelly.
Richard Arum, Jill Biden, Andrew Delbanco, Joseph Epstein, Victor Davis Hanson, Wilfred M. McClay, Charles Murray, and Ibn Warraq were among those who contributed to Academic Questions, "One Hundred Great Ideas for Higher Education," a symposium in the journal's 100th issue published in 2012.
The NAS was an early critic of political correctness, engaged the American Association of University Professors over some of its policies, and complained to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, Lamar Alexander, who ruled that the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools eliminate its diversity standard. NAS's stands have led critics to label NAS "conservative",[31] a "group of reactionary scholars" and "a leading vehicle for the conservative attack on multiculturalism and political correctness".[32]
The NAS denies that the views it advocates are conservative. Instead, the NAS describes itself as "liberal," referring to classical liberalism. NAS current president Peter Wood, writing in 2007, said: "Both Left and the Right produce their share of intellectual obtuseness. The NAS is not a partner with either. We are not a political organization, but a body of scholars who hope to sustain a vision of the university as a fundamentally good institution that deserves to be sustained."[33]
Chapters of the NAS have been involved in a number of campus controversies related to affirmative action and multicultural studies programs. According to People for the American Way, NAS faculty at the University of Texas, Austin blocked the inclusion of civil rights readings in an English course; the readings had been proposed to address concerns about racial and sexual harassment on campus.[28] In 1990, the NAS placed an advertisement in the Daily Texan (the University of Texas student newspaper), calling for the rejection of a proposed multiculturalism curriculum at the University of Texas.[34] Simultaneously, the NAS encouraged a successful campaign to defund the university's Chicano newspaper.[28]
In 1990, a Duke University chapter of the NAS was formed by political science professor James David Barber. The new chapter provoked "a sometimes bitter debate" about the NAS stances on race and gender, and on whether academic freedom should extend to what NAS critics viewed as intolerance. Stanley Fish, chairman of the English department at Duke, wrote that NAS "is widely known to be racist, sexist and homophobic." In an interview with the Durham Morning Herald, Barber called Fish "an embarrassment to this university for his gross insult to this organization." In response to the NAS chapter formation, a larger group of faculty formed "Duke Faculty for Academic Tolerance".[35]
Also in 1990, the Harvard University community debated the presence of the NAS. Writing in the Harvard Crimson, Martin L. Kilson, Jr. acknowledged some "overzealous behavior by supporters of ethnic studies and women studies" but argued that the NAS was an "overkill neoconservative response." In Kilson's view, NAS had succumbed to "anxiety and maybe phobia" of multiculturalism. He asks, "why shouldn't persons on our campuses go to great lengths to avoid the tag 'racist'"? Or the tags 'homophobic', 'sexist', 'anti-Asian', etc.?"[36]
In 2001, it was reported that the Colorado Commission on Higher Education had paid the National Association of Scholars $25,000 to generate a report on several Colorado universities with education programs. The NAS report criticized diversity curricula and recommended that the University of Colorado's education program be suspended and new admissions to other programs be halted.[6] University of Colorado, Boulder dean William Stanley resigned in protest of what he called "teacher-bashing" by the NAS,[3] while regent Bob Sievers deplored "anti-teaching, anti-C.U./Boulder, anti-women and anti-minority bias." Questions were also raised regarding why money was paid to a "right-wing" organization like the NAS[3] rather than to a group "with credentials in teacher education."[6]
In September 2008, the New York Times described the NAS as among the politically conservative organizations intensively and successfully lobbying for federal funding for programs which emphasize "traditional American history, free institutions or Western civilization". The Times reported that NAS and allied organizations sought to advance conservative causes by attaching conditions to university donations.[2]
In 2011 NAS launched its Center for the Study of the Curriculum to "document and to analyze important changes" to college curricula and "to propose improvements."[37] The Center conducts yearly reviews of colleges and universities' common reading programs. The annual Beach Books report identifies the colleges that have these programs, the books they assign, and patterns in the assignments. The 2012-2013 report found that 97% of colleges and universities chose books published in or after 1990. The most popular book assigned was The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Writing at The Guardian, the report's author, Ashley Thorne, criticized the lack of classics: "The choice of a recent book that is often the only book students will have in common with one another points to the death of a shared literary culture. To the extent that colleges want to approach that culture, they display willful selfishness in confining their sights to the present."[38]
NAS president Peter Wood wrote in the Chronicle of Higher Education, "What is lamentable is the scant attention to important books, let alone classics; the relentless emphasis on the short-term and easily accessible; and the dominance of books that emphasize personal perspectives over efforts to know the world as it really is."[39] NAS also publishes a list of books it recommends for colleges to assign as common reading.[40]
In January 2013 the Center for the Study of the Curriculum, along with NAS's affiliate the Texas Association of Scholars, released a report on U.S. history courses taught in the Fall 2010 semester at the University of Texas and Texas A&M University. The report, Recasting History, examined all 85 sections of lower-division courses that satisfied a Texas statute requiring students at public institutions to take two courses in American history. NAS concluded that a preponderance of the courses emphasized social history focusing especially on race, class, or gender. Other topics such as military, diplomatic, religious, and intellectual history were taught less frequently.[41]
After the report's release, Jeremi Suri, the Mack Brown Distinguished Professor for Global Leadership, History, and Public Policy at UT-Austin, called the report "misleading, and frankly dumb."[42] Writing in The Alcalde, the official alumni magazine, Suri defended the University of Texas's course offerings, saying, "What we are teaching at UT, in almost all of our history and related courses, is a plural history of how many different people and parts of America relate to one another. What we are teaching is the beauty, the color, the promise, and also the challenge of contemporary America."[42] Richard Pells, a former history professor at the University of Texas, wrote in an op-ed for the Austin-American Statesman, "I am neither conservative nor a member of the NAS. But I am an American historian who taught at UT from 1971 to 2011. And based on my own experiences at UT, I believe the report's main arguments are absolutely correct."[43]
In April 2013, NAS released What Does Bowdoin Teach?: How a Contemporary Liberal Arts College Shapes Students. The 383-page study examined Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, presenting it as representative of trends in elite college education in the United States. The report tracked the college's decisions over forty years bearing on the curriculum, academic requirements, advising, faculty hiring, faculty committees, core values, key terms, campus controversies, residence life, disciplinary codes, student government, clubs, sports, and administrative priorities.[44] The report cited faculty minutes and other official documents, accreditation self-studies and reports, presidential speeches, statistics from the United States Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, statements by Bowdoin faculty members and administrators, The Bowdoin Orient (the student newspaper), and interviews with students and faculty members.
The authors criticized Bowdoin for abolishing its core curriculum in 1969 and creating the system that remains in place in which there are few general education requirements. They also criticized Bowdoin for what they argued are overly specialized and politicized academic departments, a politically-correct environment, and the college's disregard for intellectual diversity. What Does Bowdoin Teach? was covered by The Wall Street Journal,[45]The Chronicle of Higher Education,[46] The Washington Examiner,[47] and the New York Post.[48]
David Feith wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the report "demonstrates how Bowdoin has become an intellectual monoculture dedicated above all to identity politics."[45] Harvard University government professor Harvey Mansfield called the report "the first of its kind and probably destined to be the best, which shows in the practices and principles of one college what political correctness in our time has done to higher education in our country."[49]
Bowdoin College's response to the report was mixed. Writing in the Bowdoin Sun (the college's official newspaper) Bowdoin president Barry Mills called the report "mean-spirited and personal."[50] Bowdoin Social Sciences professor Jean Yarbrough wrote in The Bowdoin Orient, "Although I do not agree with all the findings of the NAS report, I believe that it highlights serious problems with the current state of education at Bowdoin and at elite institutions in general."[51]

Galyat (Urdu: گلیات ) region, or hill tract, (also written Galliat and Galiyat)[1] is a narrow strip or area roughly 50–80 km north-east of Islamabad, Pakistan, extending on both sides of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-Punjab border, between Abbottabad and Murree.[2] The word itself is derived from the plural of the Urdu word gali, which means an alley between two mountains on both sides of which there are valleys and it is not the highest point in the range. Many of the towns in the area have the word gali as part of their names, and are popular tourist resorts.[3]
Brief history and ethnology[edit]
The Galyat tracts were first 'discovered' by early British colonial officials, such as James Abbott (Indian Army officer), who ventured into these areas circa 1846-47.[4] The British found them climatically conducive to them and began to develop some of the sites in the range/tract as hill resorts, to escape the summer heat of the low-lands. Later on, after Partition/Independence of Pakistan in 1947, these were neglected for some time but eventually developed further from the 1960s onwards as popular resorts.
The main ethnic groups in the area are several tribes such as the Karlal and others.[5]

Dengue scare spreads
Jalandhar, September 16 Moreover, the health authorities have even started accusing the media of exposing chinks in arrangements made to tackle the disease. Sources revealed that one more case of suspected dengue was identified at the Civil Hospital this afternoon. Sonu, who was admitted in the male medical ward almost four days back with fever and body ache, was today tested positive for the IGG while the test report of the IGM was negative. According to Dr T.P. Singh, four cases of strongly suggested dengue had been reported in the city during the past over 10 days. He, however, said in Sonus case, dengue was suspected, not confirmed. When asked about the dengue patients in private hospitals, Dr Singh claimed that Rita Thakur, her husband Jatinder Thakur and Ananya Singh, all residents of AIR Staff Colony, and Kulwinder Singh of Bhargo Camp, were strongly suspected cases of dengue. Jatinder Thakur and Kulwinder Singh were currently undergoing treatment at the Civil Hospital, he added. A visit to the hospital revealed that four persons, suspected cases of dengue, were still under close observation of doctors in the ICU of the Civil Hospital. As of now, 14 cases of suspected dengue have been registered here. Dr Singh claimed that 25 teams of the health department had been deputed for fogging and a drive had been launched against breeding of tiger mosquitoes. The department had also launched a massive drive to collect blood samples from various dengue-prone areas. Jalandhar civil surgeon S.S. Walia claimed that there was no confirmed case of dengue in the city and its vicinity. When asked if the private hospitals had informed them about the number of suspected dengue cases registered with them, he claimed only two private hospitals had supplied information to the district health authorities.

DDPOs reader held on graft charge
Jalandhar, September 16 A press note issued by the SSP Vigilance (Jalandhar) Surinderjit Singh Mand said the accused, identified as Joginder Pal Singh, was arrested on the complaint of Davinder Singh, resident of Mukerian. In his complaint to the VB, Davinder alleged that he requested the DDPO for an early disposal of a land-related case. The DDPO demanded Rs 25,000 for the job, alleged Davinder, adding that the deal was finally settled for Rs 20,000. The officer allegedly asked Davinder to contact his reader for making the payment on Tuesday. The VB laid a trap and caught Joginderpal, while he was accepting the bribe. A case has been registered. |
Mid-day Meal Scheme
Nawanshahr, September 16 Later, Kaur also served the meals to the students at Government Senior Secondary School, Jadla. In her address, the minister said, with a view to streamline the scheme some changes have been made on experimental basis. We would monitor it for some days and if found practically viable, the scheme would be extended to all the districts. It would mitigate the problems of the teachers in preparing, serving the meal and keeping accounts etc. Ultimately, it would be help in bringing in qualitative improvement in the education system, she added. Though, the chairperson of the Stri Shakti, Maninder Bedi, in her address claimed that they had experience of about 16 years for preparing and supplying mid-day meal in 5 states of the country, the organisation virtually fumbled in ensuring proper delivery of meals on the inaugural day to some schools. Bedi, while attributing the problem to the busy schedule, said, We have proper infrastructure and the scheme would be properly implemented henceforth. DGSE, Krishan Kumar said the whole system would start working smoothly within few days. The district education officers have been asked to monitor the scheme consistently and properly so that the problems being faced during its implementation could be noted and addressed immediately, said Kumar.

Barring the incident of assault of an Estate Officer of Rythu Bazaar at R&B Guest House by the ASP, the strife-torn Fort Town remained peaceful on Wednesday. Collector Kantilal Dande, who visited vantage points in the town, has further relaxed curfew from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Mr. Satish told The Hindu that the ASP had come to the bazaar at 6.20 a.m. while he was fixing rates for vegetables and asked him to open the gate. "I showed him the curfew pass which the Collector issued, but the ASP hit me with a lathi and made me sit on the floor for 30 minutes. He treated me as if I am a thug or terrorist," he lamented.

Former SEPULTURA drummer Jean Dolabella has released the following statement regarding his departure from the band:
"First of all, I'd like to thank SEPULTURA Andreas [Kisser], Derrick [Green] and Paulo [Xisto Pinto Jr.] for everything and especially all the fans all around the world. Since the begining I felt really welcome by all of you and I'd like to thank from the bottom of my heart all the fans and friends and everybody that have always supported me and my work as a musician. You are, and will always be, very special to me. We had great moments and I'm sure we've created very good stuff together, but it is time to part ways. Life comes in phases and I decided to start a new one. "I wish all the best for SEPULTURA and I'm very happy and excited with my new path. "From now on I'll focus on my work as a musician, producer and music teacher in So Paulo. I'll keep working on my project with INDIRETO [the Brazilian experimental project featuring Dolabella and SCARCUS guitarist Augusto Nogueira] and others that are already coming along. "And for those who asked, I affirm you that I'm in great shape, my arm is fine and I'll keep on with my projects in and outside Brazil. Good news coming soon!" Dolabella was forced to sit out several shows on SEPULTURA's recent European tour because he was suffering from muscle pain in his arms. His temporary replacement was Amilcar Christfaro from the Brazilian thrash band TORTURE SQUAD. "The period we spent with Jean in the band was very positive," said SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser. "We've recorded two great albums together and did a lot of concerts which will be in SEPULTURA's history. We only have reasons to thank him for his contribution and energy all these years." Dolabella joined SEPULTURA in 2006 following the departure of the band's original drummer, Igor Cavalera. SEPULTURA yesterday announced the addition of drummer Eloy Casagrande (GLRIA, ANDR MATOS) to the group's ranks. The 20-year-old drum prodigy from So Paulo, Brazil, who won the Modern Drummer "Undiscovered Drummer" contest as a teenager in 2006, is more than eager to begin his career with the veteran metal icons.

FS#5685 - Text-viewer: move column left/right doesn't work anymore.
DetailsThe buttoncombinations play+left and play+right in the text-viewer don't work as expected anymore.
Before the bug occured one could scroll left or right in small steps in wide view by pressing play+left/right. Now after the first press of play+right the text moves a whole screenwidth to the left (like after a single press on right). If you then keep holding play+right (or press it several times) after some time the text moves again left by a whole screenwidth. So it seems as if internally it keeps track of how many columns it has moved to the left or right, but only updates the view if a full screenwidth has been reached. This bug appeared after the commit on 2006 3 Jun 09:04 to viewer.c (Fix wide view mode on viewer). |

Transforming Into a Recycler
I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania where there wasn't much talk about protecting or preserving the environment. I was born a few years before the EPA and really don't remember much of a celebration on the EPA's birth. Living in an old farm house in the middle of nowhere – with a father that did EVERYTHING himself – I didn't even know there were professions like mechanics or general contractors. We did and fixed everything ourselves.
Oil changes consisted of the "Old Man" crawling out from under the car with a pan full of tar-black used oil, and instructing my brother and me to take it up our 500-foot dirt driveway and pour it on any weeds or plants struggling to grow in the nearly impervious soil. The near-by dirt road that led to our fishing pond was "oiled" twice a year by the town to keep the dust down. I'm not sure if this was oil specifically for this purpose or just used 10W-30, but it sure kept the dust down!
After a few years, I "escaped" small-town-USA to the US Air Force. Uncle Sam sent me to far-away lands like Ramstein Air Base in Germany and Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. I learned there were more than the two categories of household waste I was taught in my youth – things that got thrown in the compost and "everything else"…that "catch-all" category of things bagged up and burned for disposal. The Air Force practiced this strange ritual they referred to as recycling where certain items were collected and sent away and magically transformed into other goods that were then reused.
Fast forward to January, 1995. I'm out of the Air Force and looking to leave Hawaii after six glorious years. I had job applications across the eastern U.S. but decided to accept work as the "LAN Lord" for EPA New England Lab in Lexington, Mass. It was there I learned that an even wider variety of items could be recycled and reused.
Nowadays, my hometown of Hudson, NH, has a very strong recycling program and my family generally recycles more than twice what we throw away. I see the direct impact we, as one family, can make and am proud of the "transformation." Looking back, I guess if ignorance is bliss, that old farmhouse must have been Xanadu, but now I'm glad to be part of the solution and not the problem!

As we celebrate National Recycling Day on Nov. 15 it is great to hear stories like this that reflect on the major changes that our country has experienced in terms of recycling. Just a few years ago, many organizations and companies had no recycling policies. Today, with increased awareness and better commercial recycling systems, the recycling rates are steadily rising. When I started college just three years ago, there was no recycling bins in either the classrooms or dining facilities. Due to student efforts, there has been a large push to institute a recycling policy across campus, and there has been real progress to divert a lot of waste from the landfill. This same pattern is happening across the nation, and it is quite refreshing to see positive changes. Recycling has even become somewhat of a trend with new hobbies like "Upcycling" becoming popular. Upcycling is the act of creating useful materials or objects from waste products. People have created all sorts of things like bowls from old records, and plant holders from light bulbs. This trend is really indicative of the creative solutions people can come up with to keep waste from the landfill. I am hopeful that we will continue on this positive recycling trend and keep the environment free from unneeded waste for generations to come.

I´m really glad that you "think green" now. Recycling and reduce consumes are really important nowdays. I´m happy when i see someone thinking it. I have left a link to my blog where i talk about recycling, and ways to save energy. It´s in spanish, but someone could find it interesting. Regards!

Though I wholeheartedly believe in Reducing as the first step for a sustainable future, I love seeing how more and more schools, public buildings, shops, and people are recycling and how many more items can be recycled today than even a few ago.
I'm pretty lucky that I have a garage that is big enough to have a "recycling system" where everything is sorted and then dispersed of when the bin/s is/are full. We have separate bins for glass, metal, strofoamy things, bottle caps that can't go curbside, batteries, light-bulbs….and on and on.
I also love the fact that my town (Bend, Or) offers free curb-side recycling. This has allowed me to lower my garbage bill to only $12 month. What a great incentive for people to recycle.
I also remember my hometown oiling roads to keep the dust down…..yikes! But at the time…..I did love the smell and non-dusty road. Now I know better, but still like the smell ;-)

How do I get my craigslist post to show up on the page I posted it under?
So I posted up an iPhone on Chicago craigslist and I followed all the steps where I got the page that said it was posted (with the green border that allows you to edit or delete your posting). When I clicked on Chicago, and then cell phones, this post was showing up. Then I realized I made a mistake in the title and attempted to change it, and for some reason it wouldn't change the title on the main page (but would on the post once you click on it). So I tried to repost it with the new title and it told me the new post was being blocked since it was similar to my previous post. So then I look back on the main page, and my post was gone from the search (even though it still says it's posted on the email link) -- the post isn't anywhere on that days postings. So then I tried to repost through an another email account, and it says that one posted (same screen with the green borders), but it also doesn't show up on the main page for Chicago cell phones or under the subsection either. This was 2 days ago and I didn't receive a single call, text, or email about the phone (and I'm selling it for fairly cheap relative to what others are), so I'm fairly certain no one can see my posting (and around here, at the very least, you would typically get a few calls or emails trying to low ball you on stuff like this, even if you are asking for too much). So today, I deleted one of the posts from one account, and then edited the post in the other account and then try to repost the original post, and it says it successfully posted, but still no post is showing up on the main page for Chicago cell phones or under the subsection either. WTF is going on here? Is there a way I can fix this and post my iPhone on there where other people are able to view it from the main page for Chicago cell phones or under the subsection for the specific area I'm selling it from? Keeping scammin' fo realz since 1980.

Craiglist does not allow Nigerians to post
Last edited by daniel32; 06-10-2011 at 01:57 PM..
I actually put my number in weird where I spelled out the first and last number (because I heard that makes it less likely some spam bot will catch it?), so I'm not sure if that caused it or not. |
I hate craigslist. Seriously, why do they make it so hard to post something on there? All I want is 1 post on their website and I've been messing around with this for 3 days to try and get that up there. If I knew they were going to be such a pain in the @ss about it, I would have just left typo'd/slightly inaccurate title up on there the other day and just told people it was a typo when they called or texted. I would also much rather they just block my post and tell me that they are blocking it for "X" reason, rather than saying it posted up my post and then blackholing it. This is so dumb.
I just wish ALL Nigerian scammers would have this much trouble posting ads on Craigslist! Sure would be better for everybody!
I think you should take up a different trade that needs less education. Watch "Trading Places" and pay close attention to Eddie Murphy. I'm sure you'd be able to put together a small wheeling platform, and find a can to hold out somewhere |
If you cannot locate your ad on the site, please note the following:
EDIT- I'm guessing the way I had my phone number listed was okay, though, because it did post my ad the first time around (i.e. I was able to see it on the main page of the chicago cell phone section). It was only when I tried to edit and then repost (to correct the title), that it just blackholed my ad Last edited by Nigeria_Scammer; 06-10-2011 at 05:11 PM.. |
Keep hitting refresh! duh
I think it is tasteless to rejoice in the death of others, even Bin Laden! For us, 10 years, $1.3+ trillion, the patriot act, countless deaths of American soldiers and civilians.. Can one truly be happy at the chain of violence that has been perpetuated? IF it was necessary that Bin Laden die, then perhaps it would be better to accept the necessity with grim resolve rather than joyous celebration...
Something similar happened to me before when I just simply couldn't see my on ad posted on craigslist, but when I did a quick keyword search and narrowed down to an area in particular ( for example in Atlanta - its divided into Atl, N Atl, S Atl, E Atl, etc) I can see my post. I also had an experience where Craigslist simply did not remove my post when I deleted the post already. I ended up getting bombarded with emails from people trying to buy things even after almost a month since I deleted the posting |

Collaborative Design Tools
Hi Folks,
I'm looking for recommendations on a collaborative design tool that can
be used in meetings with remote teams. The tool I'm looking for
replaces the "everyone-getting-together
and-working-through-design-ideas-on-the-whiteboard", which is great
when everyone is in the same location, but doesn't work so well for
remote participants.
Ideally, the tool would allow each member to add, edit, and comment the
design, while other members can see real-time updates and participate
in the live discussion (which is happening over a separate voice conference, if need be.)
I'm open to any suggestion - relatively low or hi-fi - so long as you
feel it works reasonably well (no major performance issues, rendering
issues, etc.) My motivation for using a tool like this is to work through design ideas with the remote team I'm supporting, in
advance of providing them with a full UI spec.
Trying to bridge that
"throw it over the wall" gap that can happen when team members aren't co-located.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions,
Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page.

Re: Roller Furling Staysail on Sloop
We have a cutter rigged sloop, roller furling staysail. The advantage, on our boat at least, is that when the wind kicks up too high for our RF genoa we just "shift gears" and run with the staysail and reefed main. That is the main advantage, to be able to adjust sail for varying conditions and not using a furled genoa in stronger winds instead of dropping it and raising a jib. Having the RF staysail will make tacking more difficult for you, if you intend to race at all I would take it down. The way we tack is to leave the staysail sheeted as we come around and let the gennie slide over the staysail and through the slot. Once the gennie is through we release the staysail sheet.

To add to the good comments in Nolatom's post above, your vang is probably attached to the boom forward of the midpoint. Although some boats will use preventers that are attached at or near the mid point of the boom, doing so increases the risk of breaking the boom. Ideally, a preventer should run from the end of the boom forward to the bow. Booms can break while broad reaching / running downwind with preventers rigged when the boat takes an big roll and the end of the boom drags in the water. When the preventer is attached mid-boom the middle of the boom wants to stay put while force of the water pushes the end of the boom aft. Rigging the preventer to the end of the boom helps balance the force of the water.
I used a mid-boom preventer for years and took some mean jibes with it, including a really violent jibe one night when the Aries decided it didn't like the course we were on while we were screaming along in a 25 knot trade wind (scared the s--t out of me). Nothing broke, but it caused me to rethink the real purpose of the preventer and to re-rig with a more traditional system. My new end-of-boom-to-bow preventer uses more line and is a bit more work to set up and change over when we do jibe, but I think it works better. The end-of-boom set up allows me to get the preventer much tighter (less movement when we do jibe unintentionally).
The system I use now is rigged as follows:
A very stetchy braided line runs the full length of the boom. The end at the gooseneck has an eyesplice. When not in use I cleat this line off near the gooseneck and it lies nicely out of the way. I have two braided lines (one each port and starboard) that run from the cockpit to the bow (on deck), then through strong blocks attached to the bow cleats on either side, then under the lifelines and back on the outside of everything to the shrouds. When the preventer is not in use these the working ends of two lines are clipped to the shrouds. To set up the preventer I un-cleat the line attached to the boom and shackle it to the end of the line that runs to the bow. I have to go to the mast to do this, but don't have go to forward of the mast. I then take up any slack in the preventer from the cockpit. When we change tack, I sheet the main in hard, go forward and re-rig the preventer to the other side. I then jibe the main, trim the sail and then set up the new preventer.
The two weak points in this set up are the block at the bow and the snap shackle that connects the two pieces of line. I oversized both for safety. I would not recommend using just any piece of line for a preventer. Ideally, it should not only be strong, but fairly elastic as well so that the stretch in the line can absorb some of the shock transferred to the rig in an accidental jibe.

View one of Indiana's greatest wildlife spectacles at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area. Each fall, thousands of Sandhill Cranes visit the area's shallow marshes.
Sandhill Cranes can be seen at Jasper-Pulaski from late September through December. Crane numbers peak in mid-November. Magnificent, noisy flocks are usually seen at the northern Indiana property from mid-October through mid-December. Sign in is required at the self service check station.
Sunrise: Gigantic flocks rise and fly out of roosting marshes to Goose Pasture. The cranes socialize in the pasture for awhile before flying out to feed in surrounding private land (agricultural fields). Sunset: Beginning about one hour before sunset, flocks of cranes kite into Goose Pasture from all directions. They gab and socialize again before returning to roosting marshes at dusk.
The crane spectacle is best seen at the Goose Pasture Viewing Area. Roosting marshes are closed to the public. During the day, cranes can be spotted feeding and dancing in nearby harvested farm fields.
Dec. 16, 2014: Our crane count this morning was 9,175. Cranes also continue to use the Wheatfield area. This will be our last posted count for the 2014 fall/winter migration. Very likely, some cranes will stay throughout the winter, especially in the Wheatfield area. North bound cranes will begin arriving in late January, peak in late February or early March, and will be gone from JP by April 1.

An ode to the Detroit Fire Department
The Detroit Fire Department, facing the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful, for they have done so much for so long with so little they are doing everythng with just about nothing.
Despite all of the problems they are facing, they still answer the call of duty
to the best of their ability, putting their lives on the line for total strangers.
To my Brothers on the Detroit Fire Department... illegiitimi non carborundum!"The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."

Well we all know that the iPhone maker Apple is out for total world domination of the mobile phone arena so it doesn't come much as a surprise when its is announced that Apple is now the fourth largest mobile phone vendor according to the latest IDC report.
According to an article over on Engadget by Thomas Ricker, the new report now has Apple sitting in 4th place in their top five list of global handset vendors and means that Apple has now bested Research In Motion and overtake the BlackBerry giant.
The IDC figures not only collect smartphone shipments but mobile phone shipments as well, and well it's no surprise that the top gun is still Nokia, although they did slip slightly from 36.5% down to 32.4% of the market since the same quarter a year previous.
The IDC report also claims that Android is having an effect on Nokia when it comes to smartphones, and apparently LG has seen a 10.1% drop in shipments since the same period a year previous and fell from 10.6% down to 8.3% market share worldwide.

Not Working for Me
I assume I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it might be. the first potential problem is that I just copied the binary file over to the /Libary/Internet Plug-Ins directory without using sudo. I was surprised that it let me, but it did. So I figured the ownership or permissions was the issue. I chown'd and chmod'd the files to match the other plug-in files, of course restarted my browser(s) between every step, and no change. I finally gave up on the system-wide installation and tried the user-level installation (~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins) and still nothing. It's as if I had never downloaded it. Doesn't work in either Chimera or IE. I'm running Jaguar, and the 11/12/02 build of Chimera... MSIE 5.2.2.
Problems printing
The only problem is that it doesn't give you Acrobat's options like "Fitting to page" if the page size in the PDF file is defined to something different from your printer's default.
worksf or me
works fine for me..
Even works in IE5
Yuh! Too bad Apple pissed off Adobe by not licensing pdfs. But then this seems to be the proof in the pudding that pdf is a published format that can be used openly.
By "minor cosmetic issue", were you referring to the plug-in menu widget that looks like something out of Platinum or Paper, rather than Aqua?
What does Adobe's PDFViewer plug-in that I find in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins do? |

Sevilla midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia has admitted it would be a dream come true if he could play for boyhood heroes Real Madrid.
Kondogbia moved to the cash-strapped Andalusian outfit last summer from French Ligue 2 side Lens and his performances this season have attracted plenty of speculation over his future. Madrid, Manchester City and Monaco have all credited with having an interest in the young French starlet.
And the 20-year-old says it would be incredible if a move to the Liga giants transpired, with rumors circulating that Jose Mourinho's men are ready to launch an 8 million euro bid.
"Real Madrid have been my dream since I was a little kid," he told Telefoot. "It's always a pleasure to see that you are watched and wanted. Real Madrid? That makes me dream ... but it's only on paper for now. Those clubs can all play in the Champions League."
Kondogbia, who has appeared 32 times for Sevilla this season, has a contract with the club until 2017.

• 'Tis the season for warm, hearty food—even canned soup. New York's chief restaurant critic, Adam Platt, does a blind taste test of two dozen store-bought varieties. His discerning palate can tell right away which one is Campbell's ("It's immediately synthetic and metallic"), and his favourites remind him of childhood ("It makes me want to crumble up crackers in it, watch Leave It to Beaver, cry, punch my brother and stay home from school"). The winner: Wolfgang Puck Organic Classic Tomato With Basil. [New York Magazine] Read the rest of this entry »

• The recent rat fiasco at Loblaws' Dupont location raised awareness across the city about food safety issues. Here, CTV's detailed (read: gross) look at what can go wrong when rodents invade. [CTV]
• Underground supper clubs are more common in Toronto than we would have guessed. Apparently, the lawless establishments aren't just for the rebellious; tight patron regulations ensure that they're for the discerning foodie, too. [BlogTO]
Susur Lee takes Manhattan—sort of
The verdicts are starting to trickle in for Susur Lee's three-month-old Manhattan venture, Shang. New York magazine sent local legend Adam Platt to sample the wares, and his review is far from a rave. From the "generic club music" to the "scraggly sprays of cherry blossoms" and "lanterns made of what look like rumpled old stockings," much about Shang appears to have left Platt unimpressed. He denounces the spiced beef cheeks as "curiously flavorless" and the oxtail dumpling soup as tasting "bland as dishwater." Giving it two stars (out of five), he is most concerned about the restaurant's prosaic setting and its remote location. Read the rest of this entry »
