The sting of criminalization continues to bite but the liberation and moral citizenship in the universe of equals is within reach, keep walking
Continued criminalization of homosexual sex conduct in 38 of 54 African countries and the introduction of stiffer laws in some of these countries continue to occasion discrimination, persecution and asylum flight for many Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ) individuals across Africa . This is in spite of the holding by the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights in Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum vs Zimbabwe that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation was against the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) which more than 98% of African states are party to.
Additionally, more UN treaty monitoring bodies continue to recognize sexual orientation as a protected ground from non discrimination with UN agencies such as the UN Human Rights Council in 2011 asking states that criminalize homosexual sex conduct to repeal sodomy laws in order to curb discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation. There have also been legislative strides on the equality of marriages in France, the United Kingdom and American states such as New York and Uruguay. There are also ongoing judicial hearings on equal marriages in Chile and USA.
These international efforts run in parallel against many legal, political and cultural hurdles to equality within many African states who are party to the ACHPR and major UN human rights treaties. Illustratively, continued criminalization of homosexual sex in 38 of 54 African states, introduction of sodomy laws in Burundi, stiffer same sex relationship penalties in Liberia, Uganda and Nigeria and political and religious rhetoric in Kenya are some of the factors accentuating discrimination and hindering equality for LGBTIQ. Further, diplomatic ties of aid to 'gay rights' by western allies to African countries have perpetuated greater homophobia in Africa with 'gays' being viewed as the stumbling block to access public welfare funding for health, education, shelter and other basic public amenities tied to western funding.
It must be mooted from the foregoing that the legal and political space for LGBTIQ persons in Africa has shrunk in the last one year, however, there are gains towards strengthening equality inclusive of LGBTIQ persons. For example, in the last few years, countries like Botswana, Mozambique, Mauritius and Seychelles have introduced legislation that forbids discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation. Kenya has also been taking strides to implement a constitution passed in 2010 which has sweeping equality provisions, the Kenyan government has also bought, branded and distributed free condom lubricants to gay clinics across the country, slow but valid recognition. Ugandan activists have been prosecuting state officers for violating their right to assemble. Within the last two years, there has been a surge of LGBTIQ equality players strategizing on incrementally using locally available legal provisions and mechanisms to achieve equality. While this can be attributed to modeled equality championing from the West, there is also a regional awakening by African equality players seeking more equality reforms from their three arms of government
I suggest through observatory learning and practice, that activists in African are slowly learning two things: One, decriminalization might be achieved through aristocratic judicial institutional avenues but culture, politics and religion might present draw backs and thus shrinking the space to enjoy the new found freedoms. So they have started training state agents, civil society, informal workers, trade unions and allied professional associations on diversity and inclusion and many other public dialogue programs. Two, and of focus in this paper is that while criminalization of homosexual sex conduct occasions human rights violations, there is no law limiting the application of fundamental rights and freedoms to homosexuals. The significance of the ruling in Victor Juliet Mukasa and Yvonne Oyoo vs. the Attorney General of Uganda has finally silted. The valiant spirit of David Kato and his compatriots in the case of of Kasha Jacqueline, Pepe Onziema & David Kato vs. Giles Muhame and The Rolling Stone Publications Ltd speaks to many across the continent.
Collectives are organizing towards using regional legal mechanisms such as the African commission on human and peoples' rights and the east African court of justice to enhance equality. This vibrancy among lawyers and NGO activists towards judicial avenues is a good precondition that nurtures change. It is further strengthened by the fact that more and more queer persons, especially the emerging urban youth, are becoming more confident to cash their public trust with state officers demanding equal concern for all.
These regional constellations when viewed together with equality developments in the west continue to entrench civic dispositions among African LGBTI individuals to put their governments to account. Just like the Arab uprising, it reinforces duty to more individuals to participate in realizing change towards an egalitarian society. These developments continue to spur hope that believes in the butterfly effect of liberation across countries however slow the wave surges. Of greater significance is that when these developments are reported in public media, they enhance civic education among public that gay is human and human is sovereign as to dignity and rights. International equality politics have also imbued defiance towards cultural sovereignty resulting to proud ownership of native gay words like shoga in Kenya and Kuchu in Uganda. Whenever equality features in news, the news have reportedly humanized many struggling questioning queer teens in their villages with understanding that they are not alone and that someone is fighting for their confused human self. Because equality unites nations, cultures identities and peoples.
Decriminalization of homosexual sex conduct must and shall be achieved in Africa, the questions of when finds answer in incremental litigation. Besides lobbying and advocating for acceptance, respect for difference and decriminalization, LGBTIQ Africans are learning the value of actively engaging their third arms of government in incremental litigation towards protecting the already available human rights in their national constitutions. There is a growing conscious process of learning, consulting, observing and utilizing local judicial and quasi judicial mechanisms (in parallel to other mechanisms) towards combating discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation.
In the coming year or two, my legal crystal ball predicts litigation in many African courts on fundamental matters like the freedom of association (most African LGBTI organizations have been denied registration by their governments), the right to education (when students suspected of engaging in homosexual sex are expulsed from learning institutions when those who engage in heterosexual sex are not expelled), freedom of assembly (due to denial of assembly permits/break of meetings as seen in Uganda), private prosecution of violence, blackmail and extortion (when police fail to follow up) , and; protection from discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation (for example when persons are dismissed from work on account of their sexual orientation) and many others.
The incremental litigation approaches being undertaken and those planned will have many benefits: they will increase levels of civic awareness and disposition among the public; they will build a body of judicial evidence on patterns of discrimination targeting homosexuals, such judicial evidence will carry immense guiding value during decriminalization suits; This process promises to build equality law through judicial law making powers especially in the commonwealth, and a vibrant social justice movement through amicus curiae.
The call is to activists and equality workers. To build partnerships with strategic government agencies and civil society, to dare risk but with valiant caution, to keep engaging duty bearers without relent and to celebrate victories however small. The sting of criminalization continues to bite but the liberation and moral citizenship in the universe of equals is within reach, keep walking.

Chinese ships have left Panatag Shoal—Gazmin
More News from Nikko Dizon
MANILA, Philippines—Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin confirmed on Friday that Chinese surveillance vessels left Panatag Shoal late last month due to bad weather in that part of the West Philippine Sea.
"As far as the last air patrol we conducted, they (Chinese ships) were no longer in Panatag Shoal. There was inclement weather there," Gazmin told reporters.
Gazmin said the last air patrol was carried out on June 27.
Asked what the Philippines would do to protect Scarborough Shoal, another name for the shoal, from China, Gazmin replied: "I can't discuss that with you."

"Don't Run In God's House": Church Cliches, Pt. 3
Posted by fallenpastor | Posted in belief, bible, Christ, Christianity, church, cliches, seminary, sovereignty | Posted on 31-08-2012
I was driving around with my six-year-old step-daughter Leslie the other day. She likes to talk, a lot. She especially likes to make observations about everything she sees. We live in a town that I usually describe this way: "In this town, you can throw a rock in the air and either hit a church or a Chinese restaurant."
Anyway, Leslie says, "There's a lot of churches here."
I said, "That's for sure."
She said, "God sure has a lot of houses."
When I pastored, the phrase "God's house" used to bother me. You usually hear it when a kid is running through the church and an older member yells out, "No running in God's house!" Or these days, someone will post a Facebook status, "Great to be in the house of God today."
So is there a problem with the phrase? Well, it's cliche, but is it unscriptural? Let's take a look.
Is there a problem?
I found a great article online written by Peter Ditzel called "Are You Meeting in God's House?" He takes a walk through Scripture and deals with the term very well in both testaments. I don't agree with every exact interpretation, but heck, he wrote a four page deal on it. His analysis is very good and I commend his work to you, especially since I'm relying on his article to do all the heavy lifting on this point.
The bottom line of his article is that "house of God" is a biblical term used to refer to the tabernacle or temple used by the Jews. Christians aren't to use it because we are technically the house of God as an assembly of believers. Seriously, go read it. Learn something. My horrible two sentence summation doesn't do him justice.
The reason I always had a problem with the term was for two reasons. One, Acts 7:48 where Luke paraphrases the Old Testament, "Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says." (ESV) God just doesn't live anywhere. He dwells everywhere. Using the term, "God's house" is kind of a slap in the face to God's omnipresence.
It was used in a special way in the Old Testament for the dwelling place of His glory, but we have a new covenant.
Second, as a sold out sovereigntist, I just really don't like the idea of stuffing God in a building. By the way, rabbit trail here. I hate, hate, hate, hate the cliche, "We can't put God in a box." Man I hate that. It is so overused and so 1980. Maybe I should blog about that one. But I bet a lot of the people who use that term also say, "God's house." You don't want to put Him in a box, but you want to stuff Him in a building.
Read more after the jump.
Why it might be wrong
Because God really is everywhere. He's not confined to one place. Hey, I'm about to blow your mind with some expensive seminary learning. If you don't think you can handle it, click on over to Yahoo! Games (not a paid endorsement) and have some fun. I suggest cribbage or canasta. If you have lived over thirty years of life and don't know how to play cribbage or canasta, then you should be shipped off to a silo in North Dakota until you do.
You've been warned. Anyway, when I went to seminary, I learned that God is not only not confined to space, He's not confined to time either. Whoa. Seriously, worry warts, that's why Jesus said not to worry about tomorrow. Because God is already there. He exists in present, past and future, simultaneously. He's got tomorrow and He's got it taken care of like He wants it taken care of. Trust Him.
Here, check this page out for the attributes of God and scroll down to the bottom. Better yet, go pick up Wayne Grudem's systematic theology and get to reading. You'll be a better person for it.
Why it might be okay
Okay, honestly, I seem against calling a church "God's house." That seems pretty obvious. I'm about as objective about this as I am when my Razorbacks play LSU. Like I'm sitting there saying, "Yeah, those LSU fans and players are pretty classy." (Honest apologies to the many LSU fans who read my blog and are really great people.)
But some people will say, "Lighten up, dude! It's just a name we have for church! Get a grip! It's been in our Christian language usage for decades. People know the difference between a place where God dwells and a building. We all know that God really doesn't live there."
I'm sure that's right. Let me lighten up for a minute. Yeah, I see that point. If you're calling it "God's house" yet explaining the point to your youngster that God doesn't really live there, stay there, pay rent and whatever, I guess you're doing well. But I'd rather see people grasp the understanding that we are a church universal. We are a people who gather together and God is with us always. He never leaves us, forsakes us, or stops being there.
I fear that many of our members feel that we go to church on Sunday to consume God. He's in that building there that we built. So let's go "see God" like we go see the lion at the zoo. And for the rest of the week, we compartmentalize our lives and leave God out of it because He's not there. He's at some building across town that we don't have to worry about until we get there on Sunday.
Guess what? I do it too. At times in my life, I have not remembered that God is right there, with me. All the time. When I'm depressed, He's there. When I'm sinning, He's there. When I need a friend, he's there. When I'm acting like a fool, He's there.
He is the ever present God who will never, ever leave us. David got it when he wrote Psalm 139:
O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
(Psalm 139:1-6 ESV)
That's the God I love. And I wouldn't want Him any other way.

Responding effectively to criminal investigations and prosecutions requires, first and foremost, experience with the subtleties of the criminal enforcement process. Should a company or individual cooperate in the investigation and, if so, to what extent? How should a company's employees respond when approached by a government investigator with questions or a document subpoena? Should the company conduct its own investigation? How should the company deal with employees who may have been involved in the alleged wrongdoing? How should potential civil exposure be managed? Wiley Rein has for a number of years successfully represented its clients with regard to such important matters.
As the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) targets white collar crime more and more, especially with the recent emphasis on procurement fraud, Wiley Rein's White Collar Defense & Government Investigations Practice is well positioned to respond to corporate and individual clients' needs. The Practice is ultra-responsive to new and developing events and equipped to react quickly and comprehensively to any allegation, subpoena, search, or investigation.

Experienced Representation
Wiley Rein's White Collar Defense & Government Investigations Practice has the knowledge and skills necessary to represent companies and individuals facing potential criminal liability. The Group is led by Roderick L. Thomas, who served for more than a decade in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, DC, acting as lead counsel on more than 40 criminal and civil trials, including complex criminal and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) prosecutions.

To combat phone theft, several lawmakers over the past year have put pressure on manufacturers and wireless carriers to include smarter anti-theft technology on smartphones. A group of tech and phone companies said Tuesday that they were on board with the idea.
CTIA, the industry trade group that represents the carriers, said over a dozen companies, including Apple, AT&T, Google, Samsung Electronics and Verizon Wireless, had committed to offering free anti-theft software for cellphones at the beginning of next year.
The software would allow consumers to lock down a phone after the device has been reported stolen and reactivate it only with the correct password or personal identification number. Lawmakers like George Gascón, San Francisco's district attorney, have called this type of technology a "kill switch."
Still, Gascón and Eric Schneiderman, New York's attorney general, on Tuesday released a statement saying the trade group's commitment was not a complete solution.
They said the issue that remained with the group's proposal was that the kill-switch would not necessarily be enabled by default on the phone, meaning that criminals may still target smartphones in hopes that some consumers did not have the anti-theft technology turned on. Several anti-theft technologies already exist on the market that people can download.
In their statement, Gascón and Schneiderman said: "While CTIA's decision to respond to our call for action by announcing a new voluntary commitment to make theft-deterrent features available on smartphones is a welcome step forward, it falls short of what is needed to effectively end the epidemic of smartphone theft."
CTIA's position is a shift, as it had initially opposed a so-called kill switch. In a filing to the Federal Communications Commission last year, the group said that a kill switch would pose risks, because hackers who took control of the feature could disable phones for customers, including the phones used by officials in the Defense Department and in law enforcement.
Steve Largent, chief executive of CTIA, said in his statement Tuesday that it was important to offer various anti-theft technologies so that hackers and criminals could not easily find a "trap door" to disable people's phones.
"We appreciate the commitment made by these companies to protect wireless users in the event their smartphones are lost or stolen," he said. "This flexibility provides consumers with access to the best features and apps that fit their unique needs while protecting their smartphones and the valuable information they contain."
Some lawmakers are still pushing for a kill switch to be included on all smartphones. State Sen. Mark Leno of California introduced a bill that would require a kill switch for phones sold in California. That bill might be on the floor of the Senate for a vote as early as next week.
"The wireless industry today has taken an incremental yet inadequate step to address the epidemic of smartphone theft," Leno said in a statement.

Tag: Diploma Mill
Diploma Mills Alive and Well
It's a tough job market out there... and for some applicants, that's enough of a fact to turn them towards bad behavior and practices. One of the problems that's becoming more worrisome than ever to employers is the rise of the diploma mill.
Background Checks Ferret Out Those Who Use "Diploma Mills"
If you're an employer and you're not familiar with the term "diploma mill", you should be. Diploma mills are made-up educational institutions where individuals can essentially pay for a copy of a diploma that looks real. Thus, when they apply for jobs, they can say they have a BA, BS, MBA... even JD. Fortunately, background checks can and do ferret out such deceptions.
A Dubious Award for the United States – Diploma Mill Capital of the World
According to the numbers, the United States leads the world in offering something that's rather embarrassing. It seems that America — most notably the states of California, Hawaii and Washington — tops all other countries in the number of "diploma mills". Ouch. What are "diploma mills"? Well, to put it simply,...

Politicians rarely make sense in the aftermath of a by-election. Neither Clacton nor Heywood and Middleton (9 October 2014) were exceptions. David Cameron claims that a vote for Ukip will put Ed Miliband in Downing Street. Nigel Farage suggests that voting Labour benefits the Tories.
The recall of Parliament during a recess is a signifier that grave matters are afoot. As the debating forum of a democracy, it does more than make decisions – it expresses itself in full view of the electorate it is there to represent.
The UK parliament has prudently rejected Prime Minister David Cameron's call to join in military action in Syria which would almost certainly have been unlawful. While tough measures are needed, vigilante 'justice' contrary to international law could have catastrophic consequences. A US attack is still likely.

It's already possible to cryopreserve human red blood cells in the presence of 40% glycerol, but is rarely done because of the time-consuming process to thaw and remove the glycerol from the blood.
Hand transplant research sheds light on touchNovember 17, 2014 8:52 am | by Associated Press, Lauran Neergaard | News | Comments
Recovery of feeling can gradually improve for years after a hand transplant, suggests a small study that points to changes in the brain, not just the new hand, as a reason. Research presented at a meeting of the Society for Neuroscience sheds light on how the brain processes the sense of touch, and adapts when it goes awry. The work could offer clues to rehabilitation after stroke, brain injury, maybe one day even spinal cord injury.
Heart stents may require longer blood thinner useNovember 16, 2014 5:00 pm | by Marilynn Marchione - AP Chief Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
Millions of people with stents that prop open clogged heart arteries may need anti-clotting drugs much longer than the one year doctors recommend now. A large study found that continuing for another 18 months lowers the risk of heart attacks, clots and other problems. Even quitting after 30 months made a heart attack more likely, raising a question of when it's ever safe to stop.

New technology shows promise for delivery of therapeutics to the brainNovember 3, 2014 8:26 am | by Lynn A. Nystrom, Virginia Tech | News | Comments
A new technology that may assist in the treatment of brain cancer and other neurological diseases is the subject of an article in Technology. According to the authors, the current medical use of chemotherapy to treat brain cancer can be inefficient because of the blood-brain-barrier that impedes the delivery of drugs out of blood vessels and into the tumor.
Cell division, minus the cellsOctober 31, 2014 12:42 pm | by Elizabeth Cooney, Harvard Univ. | News | Comments
The process of cell division is central to life. The last stage, cytokinesis, when two daughter cells split from each other, has fascinated scientists but has been notoriously difficult to study. Now Harvard Medical School systems biologists report that they have reconstituted cytokinesis, complete with signals that direct molecular traffic, without the cell.

Stanford Univ. School of Medicine researchers have developed a new formula for delivering the therapeutic peptide apelin to heart tissue for treatment of hypertrophy, a hereditary disease commonly attributed to sudden death in athletes. The nanoscale delivery system, which dramatically increases the peptide's stability, shows promise for treating heart disease in humans, the researchers said.
Making lab-grown tissues strongerOctober 30, 2014 3:09 pm | News | Comments
Cartilage, for example, is a hard material that caps the ends of bones and allows joints to work smoothly, but engineered replacement tissue is, mechanically, far from native tissue. Researchers in California report the use of an enzyme that has greatly improved engineering cartilage built from cultures. It promotes cross-linking and makes the material stronger.
Heart's own immune cells can help it healOctober 30, 2014 2:55 pm | by Julia Evangelou Strait, Washington Univ. in St. Louis | News | Comments
The heart holds its own pool of immune cells capable of helping it heal after injury, according to new research in mice at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. When the heart is injured, beneficial immune cells are often supplanted by bone marrow cells, which cause damaging inflammation. In a mouse model, researchers showed that blocking the bone marrow's macrophages protects the organ's beneficial pool of macrophages.

Multiphysics Brings Vaccines to the Developing WorldOctober 24, 2014 10:22 am | by Laura Bowen, COMSOL | COMSOL, Inc. | Articles | Comments
In many areas of the developing world, there's limited access to electricity, and many places have never had any type of power infrastructure. This presents a challenge for aid workers and doctors. In the recent past, vaccines that needed to be stored at cold, relatively constant temperatures couldn't be taken into the remote areas where they were needed most.
Synthetic biology on ordinary paper, results off the pageOctober 24, 2014 7:53 am | by Kat J. McAlpine, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering | News | Comments
New achievements in synthetic biology, which will allow complex cellular recognition reactions to proceed outside of living cells, will dare scientists to dream big: There could one day be inexpensive, shippable and accurate test kits that use saliva or a drop of blood to identify specific disease or infection.

European Union slaps more sanctions on North Korea
BRUSSELS — The European Union imposed trade and economic sanctions on North Korea while condemning "in the strongest terms" the nation's latest nuclear test.
The 27 EU finance ministers also demanded North Korea abstain from further tests and urged it to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty without delay. The statement came as the ministers met Monday in Brussels.
Their action brings the number of North Koreans subject to a travel ban and an asset freeze to 26, and the number of sanctioned companies to 33. The ministers also banned the export of components for ballistic missiles, such as certain types of aluminum, and prohibited trade in new public bonds from North Korea.
The United States is currently negotiating in the Security Council for stronger U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang after the council quickly condemned the Feb. 12 atomic blast, the third conducted by the North since 2006.
North Korea says its nuclear program is a response to what it called a U.S. threat and has warned of further, unspecified measures of "greater intensity" if Washington remains hostile — possibly signaling it would conduct further tests if sanctions are tightened further.

Unbeaten Lansdown CC secure West of England Bristol & North Somerset Division title with victory at Bristol West Indian & Phoenix
Posted: August 27, 2014|
A double-century partnership was the catalyst for Lansdown as they confirmed their position as Wadworth 6X West of England Bristol & North Somerset Division champions with a 169-run away win over Bristol West Indian & Phoenix.
After winning the toss and batting first, Lansdown found themselves in trouble at 41-3 before Andy Owen walked out to join Tinashe Chimbambo out in the middle.
The pair put on 209 for the fourth wicket, with each batsmen registering centuries at a very similar pace. Chimbambo ended with 107 from 106 balls before he was out lbw to Toheed Hamid, with Owen scoring 101 from 109 deliveries before he was run out off the innings' last ball.
Lansdown then dismissed their hosts for just 97 in a comprehensive display, giving them their 14th victory of a dominant season.

The Bristol side were 14-3 early in their innings after fine opening spells from Sam Athey (2-26) and James Dunning (2-31).
Chris Day finished with the best figures of 3-15 from his six overs, with Mat Thomas (2-25) picking up two of his own from his ten overs.
The final wicket of the innings saw Owen claim a run out to confirm his side's title win.
Chairman Mark Hobbs- Shoulder said: "There's a great togetherness here, and it's very much about the whole club. We run three sides on a Saturday and there really is a shared success here, it's not just about 12 or 13 guys.
"The experienced players have led the side really well, but the success here is the shared responsibility in the side.
He added: "We brought in Dave Simpkins as coach about five years ago and Tom Hankins returned as captain, and the 1st team have gone from strength to strength, with the hard work finally coming to fruition.
"The sense at the club is that we'll have the same players next year, maybe attracting a couple of additions to the squad, and the age of the group is great.
"Tinashe, the overseas man, has brought the high level of performance you hope they bring and the extra skill sets that get you over the line.
"Obviously after last year's disappointment – where we missed out on promotion by one point – they've managed to use that alongside the extra skills to get where they are now, going into the final game on Saturday with the opportunity to go unbeaten in the league this season, which would be a great achievement."
At the other end of the table Timsbury wasted a great chance to climb off the bottom as they failed to back up their best bowling and fielding display of the season at Stapleton.
The 69-run defeat means Timsbury will almost certainly need to record a victory at home to Shirehampton in the final match to avoid finishing bottom.

Today and tomorrow we will highlight some ways GateHouse newsrooms are using interactive maps, from plotting breaking news to providing a standing resource for readers.
Today and tomorrow we will highlight some ways GateHouse newsrooms are using interactive maps, from plotting breaking news to providing a standing resource for readers.
Maps were one of the first Web features newsrooms began to embed. Why?
- More reader engagement and more reader time on site: Time on site is becoming an increasingly important measure of a Web site's success.
- Perfect for evergreen or standing content of local resources: Local markets, polling places, schools, parks ...
- Content differentiation: You can do things with maps online that you cannot do in print, such as allow readers to contribut their own plot points directy.
- Many applications and easy to use: This Mashable.com post lists some of the many options available. If you are just beginning, try Google or Yahoo. Umapper has some great tools, too.
Now some examples:
1] Here's a classic pothole map from the Springfield [IL] Journal Register. Readers are invited to e-mail information about their own worst-pothole finds. Once your map is built, you can embed it in any Zope story. Click here to see the map at sj-r.com.

3] When you're having a big weather event, an embedded live weather map is all you need. That's what the Norwich [CT] Bulletin did when the Northeast was hit with record rain and floods in March. Here's an example.

British security experts have ordered the removal of an electric samovar presented to Queen Elizabeth II 20 years ago and kept at Balmoral Castle. The fear is that the samovar, designed to make Russian-style tea, might have been bugged, The Daily Telegraph reports.
A Florida university has annoyed many of its employees and students by ordering a complete ban on Christmas decorations in public areas. That means Florida Gulf Coast University is not holding its greeting card contest this year, the Fort Myers News-Press reported.
Police in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said a slick thief used lubricant to slip an expensive ring from an elderly woman's finger after hitting the back of her car. Investigators said the suspect, who wore gloves coated in a Vaseline-like lubricant, was traveling with another man in a silver Ford F-150 pickup truck when the vehicle bumped the rear of a car belonging to Helen Artim, 80, as the two vehicles approached a traffic light, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday. The police report said the two men instructed Artim to follow them to a parking lot, where the man wearing the gloves told the elderly woman to check her trunk for damage.

A Batavia, Ill., woman whose divorce was finalized last week said she believes her ex-husband stole half of her bed. The woman told Kane County sheriff's police that she returned to her house after a weekend away and found a twin bed that comprised half of her king-sized bed and some electronics missing, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday. Investigators said the woman told them she believed her ex-husband and his girlfriend were in her home while she was away. Police found a note at the house that read: I win!

The parents of a student at a Kennesaw, Ga., high school said their son was suspended after teachers claimed he doodled a gang symbol on an assignment. Devon Chalmers said his son, North Cobb High School sophomore Brandon Field, was suspended for three days last week after he turned in an assignment covered in doodled shapes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday. Chalmers said administrators identified one of the shapes, a six-pointed star with a vertical line at the bottom, as a symbol associated with the Folk Nation gang. However, the father said his son is not involved in any gang activities and he believes the boy is being singled out. We keep up with my son very well, Chalmers said.
Zookeepers in Kushiro, Japan, said they have discovered the problem preventing their pair of polar bears from mating -- the animals are both female. The zookeepers said the Kushiro municipal zoo obtained a polar bear named Tsuyoshi three years ago as a cub and officials said they were baffled when the bear refused to mate with the zoo's 11-year-old female, Kurumi, after the animals were introduced in June, CNN reported Wednesday. Zoo officials said Tsuyoshi was put under anesthesia earlier in November to determine what was preventing the bear from making advances toward Kurumi.

A Rock Hill, S.C., couple said they were shocked when they pried open their non-working clothes dryer to find a 4-foot snake gumming up the works. Denise and Barry Cubbedge said they were working on the dryer Sunday, one day after it had stopped working, while their young sons, ages 4 and 1, played nearby, The (Rock Hill) Herald reported Wednesday. Barry Cubbedge said he removed the back of the dryer and immediately shouted in surprise and replaced the back when he came face to face with a mean looking snake. Cubbedge said that he couldn't replace the screws, so he re-sealed the dryer using strips of duct tape handed to him by his wife. He took the taped-up dryer out to the garage and shook the appliance until the snake fell out. I don't know how long he was -- I would guess 4 feet or more -- because I never opened him up full length, he said.

I sensed that the M 3.0 pockets the ball slightly better, as would be expected with the open string pattern, which was obvious with the same string and what felt to be the same tension. But the M 3.0 is definitely stiffer.
Therefore, the M 3.0, at least for me, launched the ball longer before biting the court, whereas the F 3.0 produced noticeably more revolutions and bit much more quickly. I've always hit more spin with a tight string pattern and more of a driving ball with an open pattern. That's where the stiffness of the M 3.0, and its quick release, had me hitting long. And if I didn't stay on the gas with the F 3.0, my spinny balls were falling short or catching the tape.
I really like the new frame geometry of the M 3.0 but wish it was in the 62-63 stiffness category, to slow the response down just a bit. Strings may make a difference there; I don't know.
thanks for your take....I am not sure why nether of these racquets are generating much discussion on these forums. It seems like Dunlop lost a lot of its following the last couple of years. I think the move to the Biomimetic line started this downturn?

Up, Up, and Away
Look, up in the air. It's a microwave missile. It's a smart bomb. Actually, it's CHAMP, the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project, and it's arguably the hottest directed-energy innovation in the military and aerospace (mil/aero) market today.
Government and industry—including the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Boeing Phantom Works, Raytheon's Ktech subsidiary, and Sandia National Laboratories—joined forces to design, develop, and test CHAMP.
Boeing serves as the CHAMP prime contractor and system integrator, as well as provides the airborne platform. CHAMP also takes advantage of a high-powered microwave source from Ktech, a pulsed power and directed energy engineering company owned by Raytheon, and a pulse power system from Sandia National Laboratories.
What's unique about CHAMP? It neutralizes electronic targets. In fact, it smacks of electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) used to cripple military computers in GoldenEye, a James Bond film, or of the effect in the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, whereby Batman arrives in a futuristic vehicle and all electronics in the vicinity go black.
A Video of Batman's first appearance in The Dark Knight Rises (Warner Bros. Pictures) and the use of a CHAMP like EMP device.
That's right, CHAMP can render adversaries' electronics useless, and it does so with non-lethal non-kinetic energy (NKE), without explosives or putting soldiers in harm's way, and while minimizing or eliminating collateral damage.
Personnel from Boeing and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., have already successfully tested the CHAMP missile. An NBC reporter revealed that this first flight test proved the CHAMP device "to be even more potent than expected."
This geek cannot think of anything more gratifying for a mil/aero engineer than to see a high-tech solution, once only imagined or science-fiction fodder, exceed military expectations in real-world tests.

Beaches and Cream for a Kitchen sink!! (well, you guys put in in my head and now I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!! )
So.. how do I get there and how long will it take??
Is there a boat from HS? do we have to take a bus to BC? Im just a bit confused
Thanks! :)
Beaches and Cream is at the Beach Club resort. But the Yacht and Beach Club resorts are on the opposite sided of the same lagoon as Boardwalk. The boat from Hollywood Studios probably stops at both the Yacht/Beach Club and the Boardwalk.
Tom (... or did I just confuse things more?)
hahahahahahahahahaha Kate ... well, we do have enough time to ask all our questions, and Tom will make sure we get far more confused hahahahahaha
alrighty Tom.. thanks so much... as long as there's a boat going in that direction we are good, we will have to stop and ask where its located either way as I dont really know :)
Thank you!
The boat from DHS stops at the Swan/Dolphin, Yacht/Beach Club, Boardwalk and EPCOT in that order. Beaches & Cream is indeed in the Beach Club.

On the floor of the Senate, as the vote was to be called on Alberto Gonzales's nomination for attorney general, Ted Kennedyin what may be the most quotable remark of his careersaid: "We have a choice.

Following the president, a majority of the Senate chose torture. How much do you care?

Some would say I should be thankful that my job is protected 12 weeks under FMLA and that my company will pay me a portion (60%) of my salary for up to 12 weeks, but I don't really feel that lucky...

The PRA tempered this, however, by adding that it does not intend to allow non-EEA branches to undertake critical retail banking functions, such as taking deposits, beyond de minimis levels without a satisfactory reason and high level of assurance, stating that such banks should be limited to wholesale banking.

Nepal king says restoring power to the people
By Gopal Sharma
KATHMANDU (Reuters) – Nepal's King Gyanendra said on Friday
after weeks of violent anti-monarchy protests he would restore
political power to the people but the largest party said he had
not gone far enough and vowed more demonstrations.
At least 12 people have been killed and hundreds wounded in
police action against protesters since a seven-party alliance
launched a campaign on April 6 to demand restoration of
multi-party democracy.
King Gyanendra sought to ease the crisis on Friday,
announcing in a national address in the Nepali language that he
would give the alliance the power to name a prime minister.
"Executive power of the kingdom of Nepal, which was in our
safekeeping, shall from this day be returned to the people,"
said the king, looking serious and dressed in a Nepali cap and
black jacket.
"We ask the seven-party alliance to recommend the name for
the post of prime minister at the earliest for the constitution
of a council of ministers, which will bear the responsibility
of governing the country in accordance with the constitution."
The king appeared to rule out any change of the
constitution to curb his own powers, which has been a primary
demand of the political parties. They have said elections to a
constituent assembly, which would make such changes, was
Krishna Prasad Sitaula, a spokesman for the Nepali
Congress, a key constituent of the alliance, said the king had
not "addressed the road map of the protest movement."
"Our protest campaign will continue," he said.
The parties were to give a joint response later, possibly
on Saturday.
Gyanendra sacked the government and took full powers in
February 2005, vowing to crush a decade-old Maoist revolt in
which more than 13,000 people have died.
Maoist rebels, who have a loose alliance with the
seven-party alliance, have insisted on a new constitution
prepared by a constituent assembly as a precondition to joining
the mainstream.
Gyanendra, who came to the throne after the 2001 palace
massacre when his elder brother, Birendra, was killed by his
own son, the Crown Prince Dipendra, has been under tremendous
international pressure to restore democracy.
The European Union and India both welcomed the king's
pledge to hand over power.
U.S. ambassador James Moriarty, speaking to Reuters
Television just two hours before the address, said the king had
no choice but to relent to the parties' demands.
"If he doesn't do that, I think the monarchy will not last
and … we are going to see a revolution inside Nepal."
After the speech, the U.S. Department of State said it was
pleased that Gyanendra had "made clear that sovereignty resides
with the people."
"We expect the king to live up to his words and allow the
parties to form a government," State Department spokesman Sean
McCormack told reporters in Washington on Friday.
On Friday, protesters burned tires and threw logs and
barbed wire across the streets of the capital, Kathmandu, as a
curfew imposed to prevent a march on the palace took effect.
Black smoke rose from several places in the city of 1.5
million people as protesters tried to block movement of police
and troops. Protesters burned a government revenue office on
the outskirts of the capital and battled with police elsewhere
in the city. There was no word of serious casualties.
The curfew in Kathmandu began at 9 a.m. (11:15 p.m. EDT)
and was to continue until midnight (2:15 p.m. EDT), but was
only being enforced within the city limits. On the ring road
outside, tens of thousands marched, waved party flags and
chanted slogans demanding the king leave the country.
Riot police, troops with automatic weapons and armored cars
stood at major intersections to bar protesters planning to
march on the palace.
On Thursday, police opened fired on tens of thousands of
demonstrators trying to enter the city. At least three people
were killed and up to 100 injured.
The reactions of local residents to the king's address were
"The king has given all he can," said Bobby Singh, a pilot
with Royal Nepal Airlines. "Now the ball is in the seven-party
alliance's court."
Prominent women's rights activist Prabha Thakar said: "It's
the best news in a while. It's not the be-all and end-all but
at this point in time, I think there is definitely a light at
the end of the tunnel."
