36 to 38 foot boat for The Keys?
In that size/age/draft range, I''ve been impressed with the Hunter 37 cutter (early 1980''s version) Layout, space and construction details seem decent, without going overboard as if you were trying to sail the Northwest Passage. Tartan''s overall construction reputation is better, but the layout in the T37 seems a bit funky and tight for the relaxed cruising style of the islands. The Sabre 38 of the same vintage has a layout and solid construction that might be worth looking into as well, though I don''t remember what they draw. Sounds like you''re into a fun hunt.

Bollywood's fashionista Sonam Kapoor who shocked everyone with her intellect on 'Koffee with Karan' by taking digs at contemporaries also spoke about being a politician in the future.
Apparently, she is serious about politics and wants to pursue it. We think she'd make the perfect politician, here's why:
1. The power of vague words:
Why: You know what I mean?...You know what I mean?... That's Bull***t! These statements by Sonam Kapoor on Koffee with Karan explain it all. Ever wondered how our politicians jump the gun and drop answering uncomfortable questions?
2. She's got the chuptzah:
Sonam Kapoor knows how to dress and apparently that's very important in today's age of politics. Even Narendra Modi accepted his penchant for dressing well in a television interview. He said, "I have a good sense of colour combination and like dressing well." Sonam could style other politicians like Arvind Kejriwal too as she keeps taking digs at people with bad fashion sense.
3. The 'Kapoor factor'- dynasty politics?
The Kapoor clan is akin to Gandhi clan in size. while Gandhi clan has Rahul, Priyanka and Varun Gandhi, the Kapoors too are a big dynasty in the Bollywood world.
So, can Sonam start a Kapoor tryst with politics? Our guess is as good as yours.
4. No one can stop her. Nor critics nor you!
Sonam openly stated on Koffee with Karan that the only reason she survived in Bollywood was because of her acting credentials. Mind it, no one can ever stop her!
5. She's a torch-bearer
While we support LGBT rights and were glad that Sonam came out in support of the cause. Her statements were vague, "I came out of the closet." Later, these translated to her support for the community. Only if Sonam would be a bit more precise with her words.
6. Repetitive speeches. You know what we mean?
Sonam has a penchant for repeating whatever she says till you want to hold the next person and cry out of frustration. This would be a great tool in politics as our leaders keep repeating whatever they say till the elections get over. She is a born winner!
7. Knows how to beat competition! Seriously?
While people like Deepika Padukone and Vidya Balan believe in working hard and letting their final performance talk for itself, Sonam believes in taking potshots. On KWK, she has taken potshots at Vidya Balan (fashion sense), Deepika Padukone (Fashion, character and what not!), Parineeti, Ranbir and a dozen others. So, we aren't complaining.
Read: Top 10 bloopers by Sonam Kapoor on Koffee with Karan; Twitter users react with sarcasm
8. Role model
No matter what, Sonam is a role-model of sorts. But, we let you decide if you want to believe it or not after reading this statement. "Just because you are not good looking and are loud, doesn't mean you are a good actor. Hello! that's rubbish."
9. Reservation bill
Sonam has taken a day off for Mumbai elections to cast her vote (We like) and also supports various causes. So, she could join politics and work for women rights and other causes and stay away from reserving roles in films.
10. Finally, she is acting in a political film, 'Battle for Bittora'
Sonam and her sister Rhea have purchased the rights for a book and are adapting it into film screenplay. In this film, Sonam will play a politician. Even in her last release with Dhanush, she was a founding member of political group from JNU.
You can add your points below or tweet at @dna and tell us more reasons!

New York Has Nothing on SoCal When it Comes to America's Most Fashionable Cities
For all its high-fashion pretense, New York is not "the most fashionable city in America." That hipster haven known as Brooklyn barely makes the Top 20.
No, the place you want to be for sashaying is the city with no downtown, Irvine. It's No. 1 when it comes to cash-spending, "fashion-conscious households," according to a new analysis by business-data company Bundle.
New York is No. 2. L.A. is No. 3, but ...
... if you took Irvine and L.A. together, as many other studies do when it comes to things like metropolitan statistical areas, we'd crush New York, even adding Brooklyn's meager showing to its results.
What's the deal?
A runway in L.A.
Jason Hargrove
Plain and simple, we spend money on clothes. High-end clothes. According to Bundle, Irvine ...
... ranked nearly four times above the U.S. average in clothing spending. Home of the OC and one of the richest cities in America, Irvine residents can certainly afford those designer duds.
Too bad all that cash is spent at South Coast Plaza, in neighboring Costa Mesa.
Analysts looked at "households that had at least four transactions at top-end designer merchants in the past 30 months," according to Bundle.
The company says:
Big cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Chicago ranked as the most fashionable, likely owing to the abundance of designer stores conveniently accessible in those cities.
San Diego nearly made the Top 10 so, despite our laid-back ways, Southern California has some kind of style, even if we don't always get credit for it.

How traffic will be affected by the game
John Lisle, spokesman for the D.C. Department of Transportation
Jump to main content.
Tuesday - 10/9/2012, 10:48pm EDT
John Lisle, spokesman for the D.C. Department of Transportation
WASHINGTON - Nationals fans who are planning to go to the first postseason home game should consider getting to Nationals Park early and taking public transportation to do so.
And commuters, here's your heads up: The game is expected to end during rush hour Wednesday evening.
"We encourage fans to come early, stay late, and take transit if they can," said Terry Bellamy, director of the D.C. Department of Transportation, in a release.
"Even if you're not attending the game, you need a game plan to ensure you don't get caught in the traffic."
The parking lots and gates at Nationals Park will open at 10:30 a.m., 2 1/2 hours before game time, and the team recommends fans allow extra travel time to get to the stadium.
There are many ways to avoid the traffic around the game, including Metro, Capital Bikeshare and even water taxis.
DDOT says another option for fans who want to avoid the traffic is delaying the trip home by exploring the Capitol Riverfront area, Barracks Row and Capitol Hill.
The transportation department will have traffic control officers, engineers, Road Operations Patrol units and other employees stationed around the park to help guide traffic and pedestrians. DDOT has decided not to restrict turn movements on M Street following the game, as originally planned.
The Metropolitan Police Department released a list of the streets that will be closed Wednesday:
Commuters are encouraged to change their travel plans and, if possible, their work schedules, to avoid the congested roadways around the stadium.
Since the game could add thousands of additional Metro riders to the system during busy travel periods, Metro also has issued a list of travel tips for fans heading to Wednesday's Nationals game:
Metro is encouraging riders to sign up for MetroAlerts so they will know of any service disruptions.

LEGO 8547 Bonus Model 2 by Fay Rhodes
LEGO 8547 Bonus Model 2 by Fay Rhodes MINDSTORMS
Llama Llamas actually do spit--which you will learn first-hand of you scare or anger one of these animals in person. This robots spits balls with a Zamor shooter. At the end of these instructions, you'll find some variations of this model--two of them reduce torque on the front wheels, one is a model built with the competition cannon found in the Education Resource Set Supplemental (sold by LEGO Education). There is also a simple idea for making your llama look even more like a real llama. My thanks to Dave, Steven and Andrew Parker for their helpful input. (Photo credit: Dave Parker) 1 4x 2x 2 2x 2x 3 2x 4x 4 2x 5 6x 1x 6 4x 2x 7 2x 4x 8 4x 2x 9 2x 2x 10 2x 12x 2x 7 11 2x 12 2x 2x 2x 13 2x 4x 2x 5 14 2x 2x 1x 15 2x 16 2x 1 3x 1x 2 3x 3 2x 1x 7 4 2x 5 4x 2x 6 2x 2x 7 1x 1x 7 8 1x 6 9 2x 10 2x 11 2x 12 2x 13 2x 4x 2x 14 1x 15 2x 16 4x 17 2x 1 1x 1x 2 1x 2x 3 1x 4 1x 5 1x 6 1x 18 4x 19 4x 20 2x 2x 21 2x 2x 22 2x 23 2x 24 2x 2x 25 1x 1x 1x 1x 1 2x llama.rbt This is a simple program to get you started. It assumes you will run the wheels in Port B and C with the remote control. Unfortunately, the remote control seems to inhibit the shooter, and may not always shoot at close objects, if you are using the remote control. LOOP Forever Wait Block Port 4 Ultrasonic Sensor < 12 inches Motor Block Port A Up Arrow .5 seconds Power--75 Wait Block Sensor Ultrasonic Motor Block Port A Down Arrow .5 seconds Power--100 Attach the spitting motor to Port A. Plug the wheel motors into Ports B & C. (If you are going to use the remote control, cross the B and C wires, so the orientation of turns will be the same for the robot and you.) You may find that the front wheels of the llama are prone to come off with a lot of turning and twisting. You can reduce this torque by removing the front tires and allowing the to run on the gray wheels. (Without the rubber tires there is less drag.) Simply removing the tires will work, but the llama form is somewhat lost. Here are a few simple modifications that will retain the lines of the robot. There are no changes in the front section, and the sections connect together as they did before. Shift the front wheels and the front wheel supports down one hole. Beyond the Box--A A ball caster allows the robots to move more freely. This is jut one example of how you might create one. The top of the ball caster (left) is formed by two axles with an axle joiner in the middle. The addition of the joiner gives just enough push so that the robot rolls on the ball, rather than sliding on the supports. These 1 x 7 bent beams (blue) hold the ball in place, but allow it to rotate. Beyond the Box--B This colorful character demonstrates how I might replace the Zamor Shooter with the competition cannon, which is found in LEGO Education's Resource Set Supplemental. The red beam holds the trigger for the dart. As you can see, I've also experimented with bigger tires (from a TECHNIC dump truck) and colored beams (inspired by my green dart). Outside my local ice cream parlor, there is a field of llamas. Observing them, I realized that a simple fur toupee would make my robot look even more like a real llama. It's a simple project to knit or crochet a rectangle using brown or black eyelash yarn. In this case, I've added a touch sensor, so I can start and stop the robot without having to fuss with the fur.

Gays and lesbians ecstatic: US okays visa petitions for same sex marriages
With the recent ruling a few days ago by the US Supreme Court that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, President Barrack Obama directed federal agencies to implement policies consistent with the ruling. This includes immigration benefits for alien spouses in same sex marriages.
In accordance with this directive, Homeland Security Department Secretary Janet Napolitano immediately announced: "I have directed the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to review immigrant visa petitions filed on behalf of a same sex spouse in the same manner as those filed on behalf of an opposite sex spouse."
Essentially, this means that for all practical purposes, even for non-immigrant visas, same sex marriage alien spouses will have the same equal benefits as opposite sex alien spouses: Working Visas, Investors Visas, Exchange Visitors Visas, Entertainers Visas, Religious Visas, etc.
In removal cases in Immigration Court, alien respondents who are the same sex spouses of US citizens may use their marital relationship as a defense utilizing it for various applications for relief from deportation (removal) when applicable.
Interspersed with joyful "Hallelujahs!" from the gay and lesbian communities throughout the United States are groans from conservative Christians of "The world must be coming to an end," citing "Sodom and Gomorrah" biblical passages and various fear filled interpretations.
It might not be the end of the world but it certainly is the beginning of a new one. What the short and long term effects will be of this dramatic Supreme Court ruling not only on immigration but also on social, religious and other issues affecting American society – only time will tell. Many countries look up to the US as a model and will also be influenced by this development.
When I did the successful gay asylum case in court about three years ago for Philip Belarmino, a gay professor from the Philippines which hit the front pages of the world's newspapers, it seemed unthinkable then that in due time, same sex marriages can be used to petition for spouses. It was almost impossible to win these gender based asylum cases. Now with all these legal immigration benefits for alien same sex marriages, the availability of defenses in Immigration Court for same sex spouses of US citizens will surely expand.
But it should be understood that immigration benefits will be available to same sex alien spouses of US citizens if their marriage took place in a state or country where same sex marriages are considered legal.
A nice gay US citizen man immediately consulted with me when he learned of Napolitano's directive. He wanted his long-time boyfriend in the Philippines who could not get a visa to migrate to the US. When I explained that the new USCIS policy (re: same sex marriages) does not mean that he could marry his boyfriend in the Philippines and then file an immigrant visa petition for him, he was on the verge of crying. Such a marriage could not be used because same sex marriages are not legal in the Philippines.
But he came out of my office ecstatic and crying with joy when I told him that he could file a fiancée visa petition for his boyfriend. Under the new USCIS policies consistent with the Supreme Court decision and the directive of Secretary Napolitano, though yet untested, it is likely that the fiancée visa petition will be approved. If so, the boyfriend can come to the US in a few months and then they can get married here in California where same sex marriages are legal after which the guy would get his immigrant visa.
My client now goes around excitedly telling everyone I'm the best immigration lawyer in the world. I told him to hold off with his hosannas until we get his petition approved. But lawyers, doctors and other professionals should not be shy about their proven competence. Humility is not a virtue when it's false and prevents one from helping people. On the other hand, I can't even take good pictures with a point and shoot. But I am sincerely happy for him and others similarly situated whose lives will be enriched by this Supreme Court decision.
To gays and lesbians all over the United States, congratulations on this great victory. It will certainly affect the life of the nation and the personal lives of so many. May this major development be a real blessing, enhance true love in relationships, bring real happiness – and help in creating a better world for all. God loves all human beings.
Note: The California State Bar honors San Francisco based human rights lawyer Atty. Ted Laguatan as one of the best immigration lawyers in the US officially certifying him continuously for almost 25 years now as an Expert-Specialist on Immigration Law. Only 29 lawyers have been given this distinction. He also does accident injuries and wrongful death cases.

Dr. Trang is a wonderful Surgeon. I had Gastric Bypass in April with no complications at all. My sorness was minimal. Dr Trang takes his time and explains to his patients all procedures in detail and he actually cares. I will definetly recommend Dr Trang to anyone who is considering this type of surgery. The office Staff and Hospital at Elkins Park is also a pleasant place with professionalism. Thank you for all that you do!!!
When you need care, this is the Dr. you want to go to. Dr. Trang and his office staff are absolutely wonderful. Their demeanor is postive and pleasant, it almost makes you want to be sick so you can visit them.Dr. Trang takes his time in making sure you fully understand what the problem is and how he is going to fix it. No rushing you in and out of the examination room.You can not ask for better care!
Dr. Trang and his staff were available to answer all of my questions and guide me through every step of my weight loss process.
Dr. trang made me feel comfortable he took tie to explain everything to with such care an concern.

Older Version MappackMar 14, 2015 Demo 1 comment
Since this mod has had a lot of hiccups, restarts, and me generally just not doing it, I figured some people following would want to see exactly how this...
The M.A.R.T.I. Initiative is a mod for Portal 2 in which the main player assumes the role of Jessica as she works to escape from the rogue AI build specifically to enforce testing, the Mandatory Artificial Robotic Testing Intelligence, AKA MARTI for short. Due to an unknown past and a searing hatred of the AI thought to only understand testing, this isn't going to be an easy task.
Lead Mapper - Jayed_Tadayoshi*
*I'm currently the only person working on this mod, so that means I have nobody working on textures or anybody to even get the mod to be a mod. I'm not asking for anybody full time, just for somebody to help me here and there. Any help would be appreciated!
0 comments by Jayed_Tadayoshi on Oct 6th, 2012
So, I havn't updated. For a while.
3 months actually.
Well, the reason for that is that I have been preoccupied with things other than modding, like school, friends, and playing APB: Reloaded (No hate? :c). I also just really havn't been wanting to map, like I've had no desire too. But I've regained the want to map, so I'm gonna try to map every now and again and atleast start making progress on the mod. It'll be slow and it'll take a long time, but don't hate on progress, no matter how slow.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is, well...
We're back.
Since this mod has had a lot of hiccups, restarts, and me generally just not doing it, I figured some people following would want to see exactly how this...
Looks pretty good. Tracking.
We're not dead! I just lost my account info and had to make a new one
Steam Support? <.<"""""""""
Do you guys want me to post a screenshot of every test chamber or just a few here and there? Making them takes a long time so there'd be very few updates and I can only map for about half of the week.
We are in need of a voice actor ~ who want to help ?
I coul help with the vocie acting...
Careful on this one guys...
I'm a very picky person, lol.
So I guess we got that part covered
Hi Jayed and Russell... Wow! nice atmosphere, mixture of Portal 1 and 2 elements... very apocaltytic destroyed chambers! cool. Will follow your updates! It would be great to test a map demo when available. By the way, how can you add a thumbnail to the Portal2 extras menu? is it a VTF file? which version should it be so portal2 recognize it properly? and which size? thanks!
well you cant edit the thumbnails ( at the moment) in the extra menu , the mod replaces super 8 in the extra menu , so the thumbnail is just super 8's and we cant change it :/
ohh I see... now that you say it, it's true, the thumbnail is just the Super 8 one. Though I've been reading and everyone says that you should be able to load an image through a VTF file, but I cant success. I've got all the custom maps I downloaded there in the extras menu to play them, but all of them without any picture... and I hate it! Thanks anyway Russell! By the way, will you submit any custom map to the TWP contest? this is the last week for accepting submissions!! I hope to see a custom map from you there! Kind regards!
Yea sorry , if you try to overwrite the vpk's for portal 2 , it doesnt seem to work . So i don't see a way of replacing the thumbnail's until valve gives us the portal 2 src . . . and i won't be submitting anything to TWP , i didn't have any good ideas for it x3
I can help with that, I figured out how to add a new entry to the extras menu, with the help of reepblue's A Little Higher mappack. You have to edit the portal 2\portal2\scripts\extras.txt. At the bottom (or really any place in the file, it doesn't really matter) add a new entry in this format:
"<Short Extra Name, no spaces>"
"title" "<Name of Extra, spaces allowed>"
"subtitle" "<Subtitle, spaces allowed>"
"pic" "path\to\your\VTF <256x256, automatically resizes, suggested that it is in vgui\extras\>
"map" "<filename of your first map, omit .bsp>"
To make the picture show up, take a screenshot of your choice, download VTFEdit if you haven't already (trust me, if you are making a mod, you will have to download it eventually), open VTFEdit and choose File>Import and find your screenshot. A dialog will now open, and in the "Clamp" options, choose 256 in both lists. Then continue, and then go to File>Save and browse to the materials directory in whatever folder your mod is working in, then vgui (create if it doesn't exist) then extras, and save it there. Next, go to Tools>Create VMT File. Click on the options tab and then change Shader to UnlitGeneric. Just press Create, and then Close. Now File>Open, and find the VMT that you just created. Underneath $basetexture "path\to\your\VTF", paste this: $translucent 1
$vertexcolor 1
$vertexalpha 1
$ignorez 1
$additive 0
$no_fullbright 1
and Save. Now see if your mod shows up correctly alongside the Extras.

Delft explores kite power for rural Africa
By Mike Barnard
July 11, 2013
The University of Delft has a program devoted to kite-based generation systems, with 20 years of research and development under their belt since Wubbo Ockels, the first Dutch astronaut established it. Now, members of the team are exploring practical niches where the compromises of kite-based power might pay off. One has just completed a trip through Kenya, Tanzania and Senegal discussing opportunities for rural African kite generation with governmental agencies, universities and companies in the renewables space.

SheerWind, a wind power company from Minnesota, USA, has announced the results of tests it has carried out with its new Invelox wind power generation technology. The company says that during tests its turbine could generate six times more energy than the amount produced by traditional turbines mounted on towers. Besides, the costs of producing wind energy with Invelox are lower, delivering electricity with prices that can compete with natural gas and hydropower. Read More
There can be little doubt that people love their mobile devices. But, by leaving them high and dry at the most inconvenient of times, this love generally doesn't extend to the batteries that power said devices. New microbatteries developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) that measure just a few millimeters in size, yet are powerful enough to power a mobile phone may be more likely to inspire a little love.

When it's alive and in the ocean, seaweed serves as a habitat, spawning ground and food source for marine life. Once it gets washed ashore, however, it pretty much just rots. Typically, along beaches in tourist areas, that dead seaweed is simply gathered and taken to a landfill. Now, however, researchers from Spain's University of Alicante have conceived of a new seaweed-removal system that has less environmental impact, and that allows the seaweed to be used as an energy source.

Keeping mobile phones charged is rapidly becoming just as profitable as making the smartphones themselves. As such, we're seeing all kinds of power banks hitting the market. We saw the Fuel charger hit Kickstarter earlier this month, which claimed to be the world's smallest battery back-up, and now a company called Powerocks is entering the fray with Tarot, which it claims is "the world's thinnest power bank."

"Algae-powered" building opens in Germany
By Donna Taylor
April 17, 2013
Splitterwerk Architects and engineering firm Arup have unveiled what is thought to be the world's first building to be powered partly by algae. Officially "unveiled" at the International Building Exhibition hosted in Hamburg, the design, dubbed the BIQ, has a "bio-adaptive" facade that is claimed to be a first for using algae within its glass louvers in order to generate energy, and provide shade, to a working building.

When there's a natural disaster or bad storm, power outages are almost guaranteed. This can be an annoyance during a minor storm, but during a more serious disaster, a lack of power can mean not being able to get in touch with friends, loved ones, and in the worst of situations, help. The SOSCharger is designed to combat this by allowing users to keep their phone charged with a simple hand crank. Read More
Technology has advanced markedly since the dawn of the silicon age, but our portable gadgets and gizmos are still largely held back by the limitations of their power source. Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden report progress in this regard, with the development of a new longer-lasting lithium-sulfur battery that has the potential to outperform lithium-ion batteries, at a lower cost.

When the internet goes down, the first thing anyone should do is power cycle their modem and router – it seems like almost every internet problem can be fixed by simply turning everything on and off in the right order (as long as the problem is not on the ISP's end, of course). The process takes a good five minutes, between waiting and timing everything right. The Amazing Jellybean aims to make it simpler by allowing users to simply push one button, and have everything power cycled for them in the correct order. Read More

Religion celebrates past bible victories and hopes for future victories but is silent about today. As christians our victories are not in the sweet-by-and-by, faith is for the now! Today is the day of salvation!
I'm not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God into salvation.......... From therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith. Romans 1:16-17
Thank God for the gospel, I live by faith & I'm empowered. I'm not hopless.
He didn't say FOR all things give thanks, but its IN all things give thanks. So stop saying thank u lord for the adverse situation I'm facing, change the hopeless situation!
Thank u Pastor sir for e words so precious.

A man was looking to take a bite out of an egg roll, but instead he chomped down a bullet June 19.
According to the Greenfield police report:
The man told police that his daughter bought an unopened package of egg rolls from Greenfield Pick 'n Save. He went to eat one about 6:30 a.m. June 19, but he bit into the bullet inside one.
The man confirmed that the packaging was still intact before he opened it. He told police there were no incidents around the house in the 9100 block of West Allerton Avenue in which a bullet could have become lodged in the food.
The man was advised to contact Pick 'n Save and the manufacturer of the egg rolls to report the incident.

V. Family, Gender, "Honor"
Idris, whom militiamen tried to kidnap and kill, told us that "I come from a tribal family. And my fear is from them even more than the militias."[89] His friend Majid, whose parents and neighbors learned he was gay when the militia invaded his home, says, "If I am safe from the Mahdi Army, I will never be safe from my family-never. They will kill me right away."[90]
If a diffuse anxiety over endangered masculinity perturbs mosques and media alike, the pressure to "be a man" begins at home. Violence enforces it. Many we spoke with pointed to the intense patriarchal values of tribal structures, in which each member's conduct can inflect the status of the entire extended unit. A 25-year old professional from Baghdad said hesitantly,
My father is the head of the tribe, and he started spying on me and reading my text messages on my phone, and listening whenever was on the phone. He got more suspicious, and he beat me up. ... My brother told me, "If our father finds proof you are a pervert he will kill you immediately." We are a tribal family: it is completely unacceptable.[91]
Under Saddam Hussein-and especially in the regime's crisis years after 1991-the government fostered tribal hierarchies, augmenting their authority and legal status in the hopes that clan heads could seal and deliver their members' loyalties. The state gave tribal sheikhs power to settle disputes and decide internal affairs, in what some called a "retribalization" of Iraq.[92] The impoverishment of a once-prosperous society in the 1990s by Western sanctions, and the implosion of security after the 2003 invasion, both compounded the renascence of tribalism. They compelled much of the population to rely on blood connections for subsistence, patronage, and protection. Tribal ties have become not just a material requirement but, in the process, a key psychological component of identity for many Iraqis. Outside their rural heartlands, they define the terms of urban life: Ali Allawi estimates that "up to 164 different tribes and clans," and over 300 local tribal leaders, were represented in the vast slum of Sadr City after Saddam's fall. Broader, sectarian-identified and cross-tribal forces like the militias had to find ways to co-opt or cooperate with tribal structures, even while seeing them as competing centers of authority.[93] Signs suggest that the Mahdi Army may have curried tribal leaders' favor in embarking on its morality campaign. A Sadrist-affiliated "executioner" told a reporter in May 2009 that "We had approval from the main Iraqi tribes here [in the Shaab area of Baghdad] to liquidate those [men] copying the ways of women."[94]
Saddam's regurgitated version of tribal legal principles took possibly its most damaging form in 1991, when he amended the Criminal Code to read (in paragraph 128) that "The commission of an offence with honorable motives or in response to unjustified and serious provocation by a victim of an offence is considered a mitigating excuse."[95] This provision is still in place.[96]
As in many other countries, so-called "honor crimes" thus have a privileged status in Iraqi penal law. Worldwide, such crimes typically take the form of violence against women, including murder, motivated and justified because she has "dishonored" the male members of her family. Standards of "honor" almost always include norms of sexual purity: women who have sex, or are believed to have sex, with men before or outside marriage violate them. There are other ways, however, in which women can endanger the status and reputation of parents or husbands. Dressing or walking the wrong way can subtly infringe against gendered expectations for how women should behave.
Despite wide acknowledgement that violence against women is a serious crisis in Iraq, state authorities have ignored it, and most NGOs have concentrated on "public," political patterns of attacks on men.[97] Amid this neglect, the question of whether and how violence targets women for non-heterosexual behaviors has been doubly neglected. In researching this report, Human Rights Watch was unable to locate or interview women in Iraq who have experienced intimate or sexual relationships with other women. The pressures to marry and to conform make those women invisible. Only anecdotal accounts suggest what they might face. Mashal, for example, told us:
I heard about one girl-her cousin killed her at the entrance of her house because she is a lesbian. He cut her throat the same way you would slaughter a sheep. He opened the door so people could see the body, a public show of cleansing. I know someone who saw it.[98]
Men, however, also bear the "honor" of their families and tribes. Human Rights Watch heard testimonies from Iraqi men who faced violence or murder because they were not "manly" enough, incurring shame on the whole extended household. These stories suggest the importance of treating "honor" as an issue, and an incitement to rights violations, that cuts across genders. They also show how urgent it is to investigate gender-based violence and honor crimes in Iraq in all their forms-including the unexplored area of attacks against women suspected of sex with other women, or women whose dress or bearing brand them as not "feminine."
Punishments for not being "man" enough start when young. "Since I was 12, my father and my brothers beat and insulted me for my feminine appearance and behavior," Tayyib, 24, from Baghdad, told us. "My father beat me all the time, and he also burned my hands and arms with heated metal. My brothers would beat me up whenever they saw me playing with girls, for example. My mother tried to protect me, but she couldn't do anything to stop it."[99]
Ramiz, 30, who grew up in the southern city of Amara, left first his home town and then the country after years of family violence:
From the time I was very little, my family knew I was different. I had artistic inclinations; I liked to write and draw and design fashions. Because of this, I was always severely insulted and abused at home, especially by my two older brothers. They beat me about it all the time, to control what I could do. They would tell me, "You are a failure at everything: you will never be anything." My middle brother, older than me, was especially cruel. Several times he pulled a machine gun on me.
It gets to you, it gets inside you, but I managed to hold myself together. Before the [2003] war, I knew of a lot of abuse of gay men that happened in families. But there were no killings that I heard of; the regime was very severe for people who committed murder.
In Amara in 2003, immediately after the war, two gay friends of mine were killed in honor killings by their families, and the police were paid to keep quiet. My fears got to the point where I had a nervous breakdown. ... Now my mother is the only person I'm in contact with. I have no contact at all with the rest of my family. [100]
Mu'ayyad was born in Baghdad. Although his parents have lived and worked abroad since his early youth, he pursued his studies in Iraq from elementary school through medical school. We spoke to him in another country in the region after he escaped his homeland. "All through my childhood," he told us, "people would call me a sissy, a faggot, even though I cut my hair short and changed the way I walk. They hated the way I talked, they hated everything about me, and I had no friends."
My uncles on my father's side despised me. ... They used to put me in the middle of the living room and make jokes about me: "See how he looks, see how he holds his head!" I begged my mother to get me out, to take me to where she lived. She said, "Iraq is a manly society and maybe they'll make you a man."
I lost interest in life. My uncles on my father's side are heads of the tribe; they told me I shamed the tribe because I was not a man. I would bring them gifts and try to make them like me, and they would put me on a chair in the garden and not let me go inside.
Then I met a man and I thought he loved me. I gave him my all.
After four years, suddenly he turned evil, and started to blackmail me, demanding more and more money. He told me: "If you don't pay up, I will use the pictures I have of you." He said, "I know where all your uncles live." I thought it was a sick joke.
One day, in mid-2007, we had a quarrel. And later that day my sister called me downstairs. She was shaking; I will never forget her face. She said, "I have just gotten a call from your aunt"-one of my uncles' wives. "All your family is meeting at your oldest uncle's house."
Each of my uncles had found a CD with a paper under his door. The CD had pictures of me with my lover, kissing and hugging, that made clear I was gay. The paper said that I was one of the biggest gays in Baghdad, and that everywhere I went with gays I used my tribe's name and told people I was so proud to be a member. And it said, "See the shame he has brought you."
My uncle's wife liked me a little bit. She told my sister that my uncles were deciding how to kill the shame. They wanted to take me to a small town north of Baghdad; they were discussing who would start the work of slaughtering me in public there.
I was crying. My sister said, "There is no time to talk. I'd want you to be anywhere else rather than see your name on a grave." I took only the most important things I had and some money. ... My uncle's neighborhood was far away and they needed to cross lots of checkpoints to reach me. I had time to escape.
Mu'ayyad fled to a neighboring country, where he was able to use his medical education to get a hospital job.
My parents knew about the crisis but my sister, who felt I was sick and couldn't help it, persuaded them that the CD was faked. ... But my dad cannot stop my uncles at all. It is a matter of shame. And in Iraq if anything is between two lips, it will be between two thousand. Scandal always spreads; my uncles know if I set foot in Iraq, they will not be man enough to head the tribe.
For the next six months, I was interning in a hospital, and I thought I was safe; I thought my uncles wouldn't care as long as I wasn't in their sight.
Suddenly one day in March 2007, during my break, I saw six of my eight uncles down in the reception area. The receptionist was pointing the way to where I was. Obviously they had come for me.
I jumped, I ran immediately. I went to my apartment near the hospital. I just grabbed my bag and some money and left everything else. The next morning I took a bus and fled the country. My sister later told me she may have slipped and mentioned to someone on my mother's side of the family where I was, and then it reached my uncles. But I had never believed they would come all that way, that they would hunt me down to kill me.[101]

[96] In 2000, however, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan repealed the provision in the territory it controlled, and in 2002 the Kurdistan Parliament did so throughout the territory of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Despite this, however, fears remain that prosecution and sentencing for honor crimes in the KRG are still inadequate in practice. In a 2009 report, Amnesty International voiced concern that "at least in some cases [KRG] criminal courts have continued to pronounce inappropriately lenient sentences for men convicted of killing a female relative": Hope and Fear: Human Rights in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, an Amnesty International report, MDE 14/006/2009. Moreover, tribal courts or komalayeti often hear cases that never reach Kurdish government courts; the dispensation of justice by patriarchal elders further limits the impact of the reforms.
[97]See, however, Trapped by Violence: Women in Iraq, an Amnesty International report, MDE 14/005/2009.

I send my dog over to dump in my neighbors yard
Why do all these teams suck after we play them. Damn it!
Exactly Nut2012, they are only ranked to help boost Alabama's schedule next week. I see this every year with the polls, were they push an SEC team up the rankings so they can say "look we are playing all these ranked teams", but that doesn't make it a good team. The polls are such BS anymore.
I personally don't think Herman is the right OC for Meyer's offense. He can easily beat lesser opponents but he can't seem to figure out a way to beat any top 20 defense. He knew what VT ran and still couldn't come up with a game plan to beat them yet VT was able to game plan and beat both the offense and defense. It's all coaching to me because the talent is there.
The B1G needs to drop some of these crap teams if they ever want a great conference. It's embarassing watching some of these teams
Best OSU site ever!
Spot on! Really disappointed that Rod Smith hasn't got going by now. Hope he can step up by next spring or fall or I'm afraid he getting passed up even more.
Doubt it. Last year they moved up all the time by beating crap teams.
Withers, he already tried last year so my guess is he's gone after this season.
I'm sure they can try to hype up 3 better corners in football, but there are none better than Roby!
Hope he develops into a great passer. Welcome aboard
Hell, if Alabama can stockpile linemen then so can we. I say sign them all!
Can't wait to see him blow someone up on special teams. He's like the Waterboy!
Dude it an amazing hitter! Can't wait to see him this fall blowing people up.
I would absolutely love that!!
Hopefully this season its a top 10 list
Excellent Ramzy
That is an unbelievable record
So we get in two regions, hot damn!!
Outstanding. Thanks for uploading it.
I am glad they won but I don't get why Thompson gets so many minutes. Does nothing on offense, plays average D and doesn't rebound even though he is 6'7. Matta should play Ross more because he is a threat to score. Can't stand watching our guards drive and kick to someone who can't shoot. All he does is give the ball back to the guards.

Choosing a Satellite Internet Provider
The Satellite Internet connection functions by transferring data to a system of satellites that are circling above the earth. The data is then re-directed back down to ground where it becomes decoded and displayed on your computer monitor. Everybody can benefit from satellite internet as long as they have a view of the southern sky within the Northern Hemisphere. In fact, there are many advantages to satellite internet, including a fast connection and a 90% uptime rate. With a portable tripod mounted dish it is possible to travel virtually anywhere and still obtain an Internet connection. If you want to surf the web, satellite internet speed is fast along with its download speed.
Receiving internet access through satellite is still a fairly new idea that is enabling users to link with each other all over the world. It has unlimited business possibilities and due to this and its means of providing internet services to those in remote areas is becoming more well known.
The service is around the same price as you would pay for cable or DSL services each month, but there is a higher initial cost as you have to buy a satellite dish and receiver which are more costly than buying a modem. So before choosing a satellite internet provider, find out any equipment the company agrees to provide and any you have to buy yourself. If you have to get any of yourself you must know how much it will cost as these could be significant to use. Also find out the speed of their connection and if they present a reliable service. If you are planning to control a business and will need more than one computer, find out if it is possible to connect multiple computers to the same terminal. Find out how long you have to sign a contract for, if you need to complete the contract early you still have to pay the rest of it. Lastly, find out what type of technical support they offer if it is provided 24 hours a day and if it's online or a telephone service.

From the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
Fall 1995 Vol. 27, No. 1
Notes from the Director
Personal Comments
With Phil Spina's departure to the Children's Memorial Institute in Chicago this past July, it seemed that the best way that I could support the Office would be to step in as Acting Director. In filling this role for the past three months, I have had reinforced, first hand, the tremendous dedication and professionalism of the entire RSP staff. I thank and commend them for a continuing job-well-done.
This may, however, be my only opportunity to write to you under the above title. Our search for a new director is on schedule, with interviews ongoing, and we look forward to identifying new leadership. My thanks to Dr. Rod Hammond and the Search Committee for attracting a pool of excellent candidates and moving the search forward and to the many faculty and staff who have participated in the interviews to date. I believe that this entire process can strengthen the Office and our commitment to serve the University community.
On another matter, I am pleased to announce that Ms. Ellen Friese has accepted the position of Assistant Director of RSP effective October 23. Ellen comes to Wright State from the Hipple Cancer Research Center with earlier experience at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and the San Diego State University Foundation. Ellen is a resident of Centerville. She will be working primarily on information dissemination and related pre-award activities, but will also help with some post-award activities such as A-21 effort reporting. For this search, my thanks go to Dr. Pat Martin and the search committee (David Fautheree, Gene Hern, Glen Jones, Dan Krane, and Robyn Simmons) for an excellent search and selection process.
A final personnel note: Ms. Joyce Boitnott, Sponsored Program Assistant responsible for the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects, retired August 31. The position has been filled through an internal promotion of Ms. Robyn Simmons. I hope that those of you who work with human subjects will join me in congratulating Robyn and welcoming her to her new assignment. We hope to announce a replacement for Robyn as Senior Secretary for Compliance Activities very shortly.
Conflict of Interest
As the Office moves from proposal to protocol to award and meets the heavy workload of proposal deadlines, some major, significant events sometimes overlay our day-to-day activities. Such an event is the October 1 implementation of the federally-mandated Conflict of Interest (CoI) policy. You all should have received a memo and sample CoI forms recently through campus mail which I hope you found informative. Here, I would like to provide some background.
We all expect to share a high stand-ard of professional ethics which includes a commitment to avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest. This is obviously a very broad area, and one where there can be reasonable disagreements. One question is - at what point should the university step in to monitor and enforce a common standard?
For the present time, the federal government, through two of its agencies, the Public Health Service (PHS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), has provided a minimum requirement. These agencies sponsor research and other programs that may lead to commercial applications. There is a concern, therefore, that these programs be conducted according to the highest professional standards for the greatest common good, not for the personal benefit of the investigators. Thus, these agencies have adopted a set of common regulations that require universities to assure that the investigators conducting a project do not have a financial interest that might lead to bias in the design, conduct, and reporting of the project. If the investigators do have such a conflicting financial interest, the university must disclose the existence of such an interest to the funding agency and must assure that a plan to manage, reduce, or eliminate the conflict has been adopted. The details of the plan, however, need not be reported to the agency unless requested at a later date.
The new federal regulations apply only to the PHS (which includes NIH) and the NSF. However, based upon the intent and spirit of the regulations, the Wright State University policy is written to include all federal sponsors. Thus, all WSU investigators applying for federal funds must meet the disclosure guidelines. For investigators applying for non-federal funds, the financial disclosure is optional.
The concern of the federal regulations and WSU policy is that personal financial interests not bias the conduct of a federally sponsored project. However, a personal financial interest may relate to some research topic areas pursued by an investigator but not others. Thus, the WSU policy is to be implemented on a project-by-project basis. Investigators will be asked to complete a Conflict of Interest Statement form for each proposal submitted. The form asks the investigator to disclose any significant financial interests which may reasonably be expected to bias the project proposed. If a financial interest is disclosed, the university designated official (RSP Director) will initially determine whether there is a conflict of interest.
Allow me to propose an example based upon my own discipline, materials science. Professor M is an active researcher. M also has some personal investments: (1) a 25% interest in a small company, M & Friends, that applies protective coatings to automotive components using a proprietary process; (2) stock in General Motors worth $20,000; and (3) an interest in an apartment building worth $50,000. M authors a proposal to the NSF to investigate the mechanism of adherence of coating compounds to a component surface. Faced with the disclosure form, M discloses (1) and (2), but not (3). M reasons that there is no reasonable connection of (3) to this (or any) research, and this is an appropriate decision. The RSP director reviews the disclosures. The Director determines immediately that the stock ownership (2) is not significantly connected to the research and will not lead to a conflict of interest. Interest (3), however, is referred to the Associate Provost for Research for further study and resolution of any conflict . Six months later, M submits another proposal, this time to the Air Force, to study ways to fabricate an airframe part from a new composite material. M again discloses (1) and (2), but not (3). This time the RSP Director immediately determines that neither (1) nor (2) pose a conflict.
There are decisions here for both the investigator and the review officials. For the investigator, it is best to err on the side of disclosure. When a disclosed financial interest is determined not to be a conflict, the university is obligated to support and defend the investigator if the relationship between a financial interest and a sponsored project is ever challenged.
