Mortars strike Damascus, killing at least 4
Baba Amr, a poor, predominantly Sunni neighborhood in southwest Homs, emerged early in the uprising as a symbol of the rebel movement, first for its protests and later for the armed groups who held it against the regime onslaught.
While not strategically important in the civil war, the loss of Baba Amr is a symbolic blow to the rebels.
The government seized the neighborhood about a year ago after months of daily shelling that damaged much of the area and killed hundreds, including two foreign journalists who had sneaked in to report on the siege. It has changed hands a number of times since, with rebels saying early this month that they had taken advantage of a regime security lapse to take it back and set up checkpoints.
Also Tuesday, the Observatory said that at least 13 charred bodies, including those of four children and five women, were found on the outskirts of the village of Abil, southwest of Homs city.
The group, which relies on a network of contacts inside Syria, circulated a video that showed charred and disfigured bodies placed on sheets. Some had holes in their heads and others appeared to have had their throats slit.
The video appeared authentic and corresponded with other reporting by The Associated Press.
The Observatory said local activists blamed the killings on pro-government thugs.
The Syrian government does not respond to requests for comment and did not mention the killing in official media.
Meanwhile, at the Arab League summit in Qatar, a delegation led by the former president of the main opposition alliance, Mouaz al-Khatib, took the seats assigned for Syria to the applause of other delegates.
The decision for the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition to take Syria's seat was made at the recommendation of Arab foreign ministers meeting earlier this week in the Qatari capital, Doha. The Arab League in 2011 suspended the Syrian government's membership in the organization in response to the regime's crackdown on opponents.
The diplomatic triumph, however, could not conceal the disarray within the top ranks of the Syrian opposition.
Besides al-Khatib, the Syrian delegation included Ghassan Hitto, the recently elected prime minister of a planned interim government to administer rebel-held areas in Syria, and two prominent opposition figures, George Sabra and Suheir Atassi.
Addressing the gathering, al-Khatib thanked the Arab League for granting the seat to the opposition, saying "it is part of the restoration of legitimacy that the people of Syria have long been robbed of."
Even as rebel fighters gain ground in their fight against Assad's troops, their mostly exile political leadership has been crippled by infighting. Al-Khatib announced his resignation on Sunday because of what he described as restrictions on his work and frustration with the level of international aid for the opposition. The Coalition rejected the resignation and al-Khatib said he would discuss the issue later and represent the opposition at the Qatar summit "in the name of the Syrian people."
Hitto's own election as the head of the interim government also has triggered a backlash, with the head of the military council associated with the Coalition, Gen. Salim Idris, rejecting Hitto's nomination.

The Real Facts of Life: Feminism & the Politics of Sexuality, C1850-1940 // Review
Jackson, Margaret, Resources for Feminist Research
The Real Facts of Life: Feminism and the Politics of Sexuality, c. 1850 - 1940 Margaret Jackson London: Taylor & Francis, 1994; 206 pp.
Reviewed by Viveka von Rosen Religion and Culture Wilfrid Laurier University Waterloo, Ontario
Where does one find new material in the much reviewed subject of early feminism in England? These feminists, their writings, and the groups and unions which arose in that time, have been examined, dissected, and placed to rest in every "Introduction to Women's Studies" bibliography from Vancouver to Nova Scotia. At a time when race, power, and re - creating the self demand the attentions of Women's Studies departments, where does the Anglo - centric and puritan feminism of the Victorian and Edwardian era fit in? These were my biases when I approached Margaret Jackson's The Real Facts of Life. However, after spending some time with the book, I revised my opinion. The Real Facts of Life does offer some innovative glances at early feminism. It is able to re - adjust the more obvious history of the oppression of women and highlight an aspect of it which perhaps has been neglected because of its very blatancy.
Jackson bases The Real Facts of Life on the development of Victorian and Edwardian feminism and its attempts to "counteract the false theories of human nature" (p.63). Theories that, by their very nature, empowered men and enslaved women. She writes that the men of the Victorian and Edwardian age attempted to control women politically by citing that the "natural" urges of men and women dictated the necessity of a "natural male superiority." Having the power to define what was natural gave strength to their masculine political convictions. This common thesis is almost as applicable today as it was then.
The Real Facts is not just a rehashing of Victorian oppression. It also celebrates the birth of early feminism in England. Jackson adds a slight twist to the foundational days of feminism as we know it: she asserts that sexuality -- woman's attempts to control and assert her own, as well as man's political control over her sexuality -- was more central to early feminism than anyone has yet acknowledged. The challenge to the specifically sexual basis of male power was a central force in the foundations of Victorian and Edwardian feminism. Foundations such as the Women's Social and Political Union, the Women's Freedom League, the Moral Reform Union, and the National Vigilance Association were formed over this very issue. Feminist leaders like Edith Watson and Elizabeth Blackwell gained strength in argument over these issues, and foundational journals like The Vote, The Suffragette, and The Freewoman gained strength and notoriety because of the outrage over the sexual basis of male power. …

Stick To Black & White Rules
by Paul on 11/29/07 at 12:33 PM ET

from the Windsor Star,
Last season, defenceman Sean Hill was suspended 25 games by the league after testing positive for steroids.
For his attack on Moore's brother, Bertuzzi - like Shore a player with a history of violence - missed only 20 games.
In other words, in a span of more than 70 years, not much has changed when it comes to the NHL disciplining its violent offenders.
Hockey remains the only sport where the rules vary as the game progresses. Penalties in football and fouls in basketball are called the same way no matter how much time remains on the clock.
"Make the rules black and white and enforce them as they are written," is Moore's challenge to the NHL.

from Lynn Zinser of the New York Times,
"There are a lot of Next Ones," said David Andrews, chief executive of the American Hockey League, the N.H.L.'s top minor league. "And that's not to say John Tavares isn't. But there are 200 first- and second-round draft picks in the A.H.L., and none of them thought they were going to play in the American Hockey League."
For now, Tavares deals with his fame by staying in a protective circle formed by his team, his coach and his family. His father, Joe, and mother, Barbara, and his two younger sisters make the drive from their hometown, Oakville, for most of Oshawa's games.

from the Examiner,
Resch, who resides in Lyndhurst during the hockey season, signed copies of his new book, "Chico Resch's Tales from the Devils Ice," which he penned with Holmdel-native Michael Kerwick….
Donna Stralkus, a Devils fan from East Brunswick, said she is eager to read Resch's book.
"I'm interested in the locker room stories and the stuff you don't catch on the sports pages," she said.
Kerwick said that the book is an inside look at the Devils team from the perspective of a former player who was with the team during its first four years in the Garden State.
"It's a collection of stories from Chico's time with the Devils to his times announcing Devils games, and all of the games in between," he said.
If you are interested in the book, "Chico Resch's Tales from the Devils Ice," it is available at Amazon.

Big Ice

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Here's a suggestion for the governors to chew over before the Pittsburgh Penguins get too far along in their plans for a new building or before the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames complete their construction plans.
Why not allow clubs with new buildings on the horizon to adopt a slightly larger ice surface than the current 200-by-85-foot sheet that is standard in the NHL? The idea of expanding the width by as little as five feet makes sense in an era when players are bigger, stronger and faster. Almost every time someone mentions making the game better, that's a talking point, that you need to go not necessarily to the international width (100 feet, too wide by some standards), but to 90 feet, just so it isn't so crowded out there.
This topic was brought up on the NHL Hour yesteday, and there was no mention of altering the ice surface for new buildings. Bettman did say changing the ice surface in current rinks would also change the site lines for the fans in the seats, so no to changing the ice dimensions in current rinks.

How well has that scheduling format been received?
Consider that one week from now, the NHL's reigning most valuable player, Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, will play in Western Canada for the first time in his career. Nearly 200 games into his professional life, Crosby will swing through Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver, starting on Dec. 5, giving fans there a chance to see him in person for the first time since he set foot in the league.
Naturally, interest in seeing Crosby play is far outstripping the available ticket supply.

It was only fitting McCarty was at Tuesday night's Wings 5-3 victory over the Flames at The Joe. McCarty played for both teams—he was with Calgary the last two seasons. A free agent, McCarty still loves the game and hasn't given up the idea of playing again.
"I want to play, for sure," McCarty said. "I'd like to give it a shot and catch on with somebody and play. I think I can still play, I still think I can bring something to the team—that intangible stuff, leadership, a spark."

from the Windsor Star,
"When I first started as a pro scout, the first season (1985-86) after coaching in Detroit, there were only two or three of us (in the entire league),'' Polano said. "Now, every team has at least two or three pro scouts."
Though their job may be undertaken in virtual anonymity beyond the realm of the National Hockey League's inner circle, the task they perform is essential to a team's success, both short- and long-term.
"Every scout, both pro and amateur, is valuable to his team," Wings general manager Ken Holland said.

A Matter Of Concern

from Mark Spector of the National Post via Canada.com,
Today, in the third season after the lockout that changed so many facets of the game, the NHL finds its popularity waning in three of its gold star American markets: Detroit, Dallas and Colorado. There just may be a price to be paid after all, the league is learning, for the salary cap that has put millions into league coffers over the last three years….
While interest has increased in small markets, where teams now compete on an even economic plane, it seems people in the large markets preferred it when their team had the ability to outspend opponents.
All of the big U.S. markets include competition from the NFL, the NBA and Major League Baseball. There is an inherent battle for headlines and talk-show time that is being lost by NHL clubs that simply aren't making news the way they used to under the old collective bargaining agreement.

from Chris Zelkovich of the Toronto Star,
But while Bettman's performance won't cause any talk-radio hosts to worry about job security, the NHL boss deserves credit for going where no sports commissioner has gone before.
On the other hand, the NHL Hour wasn't exactly a baptism by fire. Though the first call must have given Bettman chills, John from Winnipeg wasted no time in telling the commissioner he wasn't going to ask about the Jets returning to Manitoba.
Most of the callers, all but the aforementioned from the U.S., either lobbed softballs at the commissioner or praised him and the state of the game.

The network has highlights of every game—every night and every morning; miles of NHL Productions footage, heretofore wasting away on shelves and unseen by the masses; special presentations; and, yes, vintage games shown in their entirety. It's all a hockey fan needs….
And with the NHL Network showing those vintage games, it gives me the opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for a while—blog a game from the past.
So, here we go. The game is between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs from Jan. 2, 1971.

Thought about it for a moment, and it made sense. Ignitor element gets hot, small crack begins to separate, operating t-stat calls for heat, small crack keeps ignitor from passing current until it cools enough to contract and close the open circuit. Cools, operating t-stat call for heat, current passes, heats up, and keeps cycling like this.
Replaced the ignitor, worked like new!
Warmed up a blanket for the princess last night, and it came out toasty warm. This morning, nothing! The ignitor won't even glow. I'm sure the thermal fuse blew after the dryer started to overheat, which leads me to believe it was the operating thermostat and a bad ignitor that was my problem. However, the blown thermal fuse leads me to believe it might be the high-limit t-stat also.
I haven't torn it apart to check for sure, but once I test the 3 suspect components- operating t-stat, high-limit t-stat, and thermal fuse I'll know for sure. I'll always remember to test ALL components and not just the first bad one I come to!
My 2 biggest questions are;
- Meter's don't lie. Was my ignitor logic correct, and was it just hiding the upcoming failure of whichever t-stat is bad?
- Is it possible this is another mis-direction?
Thanks in advance,

SAFECode Releases Framework for Software Supply Chain Integrity
ARLINGTON, Va., July 21 /PRNewswire/ — The Software Assurance Forum for Excellence in Code (SAFECode), a non-profit organization exclusively dedicated to increasing trust in information and communications technology products and services through the advancement of effective software assurance methods, today released "The Software Supply Chain Integrity Framework: Defining Risks and Responsibilities for Securing Software in the Global Supply Chain." The paper outlines the first industry-driven framework for analyzing and describing the efforts of software suppliers to mitigate the potential that software could be intentionally compromised during its sourcing, development or distribution. The paper was jointly developed by SAFECode's members, which include EMC Corporation, Juniper Networks, Inc., Microsoft Corp., Nokia, SAP AG and Symantec Corp.
As the software industry has become increasingly globalized, a concern has risen over the possibility that an IT solution could be compromised by the intentional insertion of malicious code into the solution's software during its development or maintenance, which is often referred to as a supply chain attack. Though experts have concluded that the supply chain is not the most likely attack vector, vendors are taking action to mitigate supply chain risk by applying software integrity practices – the collection of processes and controls that enable a vendor to deliver customers a product that is uncompromised, thereby containing only what the vendor intends.
"While SAFECode's members have individually implemented software integrity practices, this is the first time industry has come together to establish a common framework for ensuring the integrity of software through the global supply chain," said Paul Kurtz, executive director of SAFECode. "This framework will serve as the foundation for subsequent work aimed at identifying and analyzing software integrity best practices and represents a critical step forward in the industry's efforts to advance software assurance."
Software assurance is most frequently discussed in the context of ensuring that code itself is more secure through the application of secure software development practices. However, while there has been a growing and appropriate focus on eliminating software vulnerabilities through secure development practices, this represents only one element of software assurance. The processes for sourcing, creating and delivering software must also contain integrity controls to enhance confidence that the software functions as the supplier intended.
Within SAFECode's software supply chain integrity framework, software supply chain integrity controls address the access, storage and handling of development assets throughout the key links in the software supply chain — supplier sourcing, product development and testing, and product delivery. The controls are designed to be independent of geography, accommodate diverse sources of software components, and extend from a vendor's suppliers to its customers. Software supply chain integrity practices and controls derive from established security and integrity principles, including:
- Chain of Custody: The confidence that each change and handoff made during the source code's lifetime is authorized, transparent and verifiable.
- Least Privilege Access: Personnel can access critical data with only the privileges needed to do their jobs.
- Separation of Duties: Personnel cannot unilaterally change data, nor unilaterally control the development process.
- Tamper Resistance and Evidence: Attempts to tamper are obstructed, and when they occur they are evident and reversible.
- Persistent Protection: Critical data is protected in ways that remain effective even if removed from the development location.
- Compliance Management: The success of the protections can be continually and independently confirmed.
- Code Testing and Verification: Methods for code inspection are applied and suspicious code is detected.
SAFECode will build upon this framework for software supply chain integrity with a focused effort to identify and analyze the most effective software integrity controls and practices that its member companies use to help ensure the integrity of their software. It will publish its findings later this year to help extend these practices across the industry and provide customers with additional insight into how to view and evaluate the processes by which software integrity is achieved.
"The complexities and interdependencies of the IT ecosystem require software suppliers to not only be able to demonstrate the security of products they produce, but also evaluate the integrity of products they acquire and use. For this reason, every software supplier has a significant stake in the identification, communication and evaluation of best practices for ensuring software integrity," said Kurtz. "By promoting the adoption of well-defined software integrity practices across the industry, these efforts should ultimately lead to increased customer confidence in the security of IT solutions."

It is also a teacher-training program, so you can be sure Atma's highly trained instructors have accumulated many a hour of individualized in-class wisdom and successfully squeezed through the awfully tight yoga-instructor rites of passage (pass-throughable by only the nimblest and most compassionate of bodies).2319 Lee RdCleveland, OH US
The Bhakti Yoga StudioRead MoreUnder the encouraging guidance of 200-hour-certified yoga instructor Latia Phillips-Bey, yogis of all abilities hone their practice in Hatha? and Vinyasa?style classes. Latia's knowledge of anatomy is particularly helpful during beginning-level Hatha yoga sessions, during which establishing proper alignment of the mind, body, and spirit in the fundamental yoga postures acclimates new students to the art. Once students have grasped the basics, Latia teaches them how to hold the postures for longer periods of time during intermediate yoga, or she'll guide them as they attempt the more athletic Vinyasa style, which, like the song "Vogue," builds muscle and flexibility with a continuous series of poses.4431 Mayfield RdSouth Euclid, OH US

A timeline of Jewish, American, and world history unfolds in the lobby, and an orientation film and a Finding Nemo remake exclusively starring gefilte fish screen in the 60-seat briefing theater. Touring collections grace the special-exhibition gallery, and the 7,000-square-foot permanent-exhibition space shares the stories of America's Jewish immigrants—from their arrival to the aftermath of the Second World War—with interactive stations, films, and oral histories.

Auditor's E-mail Blunder Raises Internet Policy Issues
The recipient sent the message to a friend, who sent it to another friend and so on. It was done almost apologetically and accompanied by expressions of sympathy, but soon a chain of gossipy confidantes had passed the e-mail literally around the world. The story was picked up by the press as far away as Australia, with no details omitted.
The upshot was a flurry of publicity that many image-conscious accounting firms would prefer to avoid, causing a stir in what may already be a hornet's nest of controversy over Internet policy issues. Questions raised by the incident include the following:
- Repercussions for employees. Should e-mail accidents like this one affect an employee's performance evaluation, employment or career path? Should there be any repercussions for an employee who intentionally passes a sensitive e-mail along to others?
- Mitigating circumstances. Would your answer change if the e-mail used a personal account instead of the accounting firm's e-mail address? or if the e-mail exchange involved an officer or employee of a client company?
- Monitoring of employees' e-mail. Does the firm have the right to restrict personal use of its e-mail system and/or firm-issued laptop computers? Does it have the right to read e-mails sent to and from employees? Should it maintain e-mails on its servers even after the e-mails are deleted from individual laptops?
It is often seen as penny-wise and pound-foolish when a firm tries to limit personal usage of items, such as postage, paper clips and copy machines. Is personal use of the Internet different because of the potential for embarrassing situations? What can be done to protect firms and employees from these situations? If you have any comments or views, please use the link below to share your thoughts and reactions. -Rosemary Schlank

Ribbon-Cutting Held for Quecreek Center
By Patrick Buchnowski, Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa.
Jul. 27–SIPESVILLE — Dennis Hall spent more than three perilous days trapped in the murky depths of Quecreek Mine in July 2002.
Trapped by rising floodwaters with eight other miners, Hall wasn't sure if he would survive.
"I spent 77 hours not knowing if we would get out," he said.
The rescue of the "Quecreek 9″ was a drama played out on television screens around the world and in a television movie.
On Saturday, Hall was part of a ribbon-cutting of the Quecreek Mine Rescue Foundation visitors center, which will house artifacts from what many have called the miracle rescue.
Hall, the bespectacled, soft-spoken miner No. 7, affectionately known as "Harpo," is keenly aware of his place in history. He is credited with placing a frantic phone call to the surface warning of the 60 million gallons of rushing water, saving the lives of nine other miners.
"A little girl came up to me in church one day and said 'you saved my daddy's life,' " Hall, 54, said. "I just broke down."
About 70 people turned out for the ribbon-cutting as part of the sixth anniversary of the rescue.
About 10,000 people visit the site each year.
The day included a flag-raising ceremony and patriotic songs by Linda Biery and daughter Kendra Biery. The ceremony was to include a groundbreaking but workers from an Amish community in Ohio got an early start laying Styrofoam blocks that will be filled with concrete.
"We're a little further along than that," said Bill Arnold, president of the foundation and owner of the farm where the rescue took place. "It's an unprecedented kind of day."
To date, the foundation has raised about $92,000 toward the project, he said.
"Our goal is to have it completed this winter for a grand opening on the next anniversary," Arnold said.
When completed, the $200,000 building will tell the story of how rescue crews pulled the weary miners to safety from 240 feet underground.
The visitors center will be housed in a 2,400-square-foot building overlooking the rescue site at the 212-year-old Dormel Farms.
The building will incorporate parts of the Sipesville fire hall, where mine families waited for news during the rescue. Several doors and outside columns and oak flooring were salvaged before the 125-year-old structure was torn down.
The 9-foot-tall 650-pound yellow steel rescue capsule that pulled the black-faced minors to safety is part of the display, along with the drill bit broken trying to reach them and hundreds of other pieces tied to the historic event.
"Practically a day doesn't go by when I don't feel this was a miracle," former DEP Secretary David Hess said.
"Obviously, we had the right people in the right place. But it was still very much a miracle."
The Quecreek rescue that brought changes for Pennsylvania's more than 6,000 coal miners includes the mine safety and health legislation signed into law this month, state Rep. Bob Bastian R-Somerset, said.
"This whole process has resulted in some good legislation," he said.
Hall never returned to mining.
"I promised myself I would never put my family through that again," he said.
Looking out over the proceedings, he was pleased the story of the Quecreek rescue is being retold.
"It's history," Hall said. "It's important to preserve what happened here."

Anyone else get frustrated reading MLBtraderumors.com and hardly seeing the Reds mentioned?

Anyone else get frustrated reading MLBtraderumors.com and hardly seeing the Reds mentioned?
It doesnt bother me for 1 reason. Those rumors turn out bunk more often than not anyhow.
Wayne Krivsky is very quiet about the deals he does make. Fay mentions he is talking to a number of free agents, but mlbtraderumors.com obviously doesn't know anything about it.
This did catch my eye. From notes from Ken Rosenthal
Earlier in the week there was talk that the Reds might be looking at Cordero. I'm not holding out hope, but I would be thrilled if the Reds turned out to be the mystery team.Quote:
A Mystery Team has already made a four-year offer to Francisco Cordero. We know the Brewers made an offer on Monday but Rosenthal may be referring to another club.
Can you imagine having Burton and Cordero for your eighth and ninth innings?!? :beerme:
How does signing Cordero to a four year contract effect the possibility of making shrewd trades and developing your own?
Are you planning on producing a closer out of thin air? Is somebody out there looking to trade a closer who is as good as Cordero, only younger and making less money?
I don't see it. I see only positives in bringing in a player like Cordero.
Cordero reminds me of Lidge. He has great stuff, and during a whole season his numbers are great. But he seems to crack under pressure. In mid July to mid Aug. last year, he blew 4 out of 10 save opp. That was when the Brewers were in their free fall and were overtaken by the Cubs. He seemed to do the same in Texas, which is why they traded him. As a set up guy, fine, but he is not worth closer money.
I would love this to happen, but I certainly won't put my money on it. Cordero would automatically give us an average MLB bullpen. He's just that good. With him, Burton, and Weathers, this pen could be very good next year.
I don't know if you're implying it but a combo of Weathers, Hatteberg and Freel doesn't get Garza. Garza is a combo of guys including 1 of Bailey and Cueto and may just not be worth it. We need both Cueto and Bailey and just hope that one of them becomes a stud pitcher.
i wouldn't want cordero, his home/away breakdown is ridiculous.
