Les Gotcher - two live calls, 1955
From a dance that Les Gotcher called, probably in 1955, we have an example of a very early Hash & Breaks style of calling that was to become his trademark in future years. In those later years Gotcher was known to use singing calls sparingly but that 1955 dance shows him singing "Home in San Antone." The audio clip here starts with some of the…
Your Home Town - Fenton "Jonesy" Jones
A rare live recording of Jonesy calling, this time a singing square.
Ends Turn In - Fenton "Jonesy" Jones
This is a rare live recording of Fenton "Jonesy" Jones from California. In the 1954 tape he says that he prefers to use his guitar for music rather than records even for some of the patter calls. The choreography is the classic Ends Turn In routine created by Ed Gilmore and published in Sets In Order magazine in 1951.

(The collection also included many boxes of printed matter, festival programs,…
Class Notes - Jim Mayo, 1963
Unlike traditional square dance, modern SD is based on a series of classes that teach the basic figures. As the activity has increased its vocabulary of figures, the number of suggested classes has grown over the years, from six to 30 or more weeks. In addition to the instruction at classes, some teachers have given their students handouts with…

To measure the reactor relevance of existing and planned confinement devices, we propose Bta5/4 and Pheata3/4 as dimensionless engineering parameters. These quantities - together with a density parameter that can be written as na3/4/Bt - have to be conserved in plasma physics identity experiments on different-size devices to respect the so-called Kadomtsev similarity constraints. They offer also a coordinate system to map the approach to the reactor regime. Theoretical and semiempirical models can be used in this coordinate space to produce isocontours for different dimensionless physics quantities, like the usual parameters *, *, and , but also for the intensity of collisional coupling, the excess of heating power over the L-H transition threshold, and the ratio of current redistribution to energy confinement time to visualize the distance to the regime of a fusion reactor.

LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 24: UFC fighter Cain Velasquez (R) hits UFC fighter Ben Rothwell (L) up against the fence during their Heavyweight bout at UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun at Staples Center on October 24, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Velasquez won the fight by way of TKO. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images)
Who is the baddest man on the planet? This unofficial title, often a self-styled mantra, is synonymous with the alpha male of combat sports, the world's most daunting fighter. Today, boxing and MMA are usually at the heart of this hypothetical debate. Both have their respective heavyweight champions and so here begins the usual bar-room banter and internet forum discussions around who would kick whose ass! Credit: Hennessy Sports Undefeated boxer, Tyson Fury, made a recent outburst calling out UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez adding further fuel to the fire. Just months before, it was then UFC heavyweight champ Junior Dos Santos (who won his title by knocking out Velasquez, but since relinquished it back to Velasquez) who was calling out boxing's heavyweight kingpin, Wladimir Klitschko. Before trying to really delve into this though, we have to acknowledge that these are two very different sports with very different rules. That said, and for what it's worth, we can ...

(Australia circa 1908 – 26 Nov 1967)
81.0 cm height
The Djan'kawu, a man and two sisters, are the primary ancestral creator beings for the Dhuwa moiety of central and north eastern Arnhem Land. Yalangbara, where the Djan'kawu landed after their canoe journey from Burralku (an island to the east), is the most important location painted by Mawalan Marika. The Marika family consider themselves to be Mayarr Mayarr – the children of the Djan'kawu. In a series of five large bark paintings, Marika depicted the Djan'kawu journey by canoe across the sea, and their activities after they landed at Yalangbara. These paintings are considered to be the most comprehensive visual narratives of the Rirratjingu ancestral song cycle in existence.
'Djan'kawu creation story', 1959, portrays the verses from the song cycle that tell of the Djan'kawu Sisters travelling to different locations and giving birth to the Dhuwa clans. The lower panel refers to the Sisters giving birth at Arnhem Bay and later at Milingimbi, above. Marika also includes eight mawalan (sacred digging sticks) that the Djan'kawu plunged into the ground, creating waterholes, sacred trees and food-bearing plants. To the right of this, the Djan'kawu watch a sunrise and sunset. The top panel shows the death of the Sisters at Galiwin'ku (Elcho Island), while Djan'kawu the man is shown at Yalangbara contemplating the mawalan and singing.
The two carved, wooden Djan'kawu, ancestral being[s] of the Dhuwa moiety, 1960, are painted with ceremonial body designs and decorated with human hair, feathered pendants and bark aprons. Marika's figures are rare, three-dimensional representations of these miraculous ancestors.
Marika was a great law man with extensive sacred knowledge. He led key parts of the Djan'kawu and Wawilak ceremonies, which are the basis for most of his paintings. Marika also painted other subjects, including depictions of Murruruma, a Rirratjingu songman and cultural hero, and hunting scenes. He occasionally painted Macassan subjects, recalling the trepang fishing fleets that worked around the north coast of Australia until they were banned in 1907. Marika was one of the first artists at Yirrkala to begin painting barks for sale, and was also one of the first leaders and artists from Arnhem land to visit the southern Australian cities. Marika strongly protested against the activities of mining companies in his country, through letters written by his son, Wandjuk Marika, to the Federal Government in Canberra. Mawalan Marika wilt be remembered as a passionate advocate for his people's cultural and land rights.

Michigan Oven
1 Attachment(s)
Here is a new oven with a nice, chunky brick entry. Good looking.
The medalion on the front of the chimney is native Michigan float copper from the Keewanaw Penninsula in northern Michigan.
That oven is a cutie pie.
Re: Michigan Oven
Neat native copper piece.....
....divers have found some huge slabs of float copper sittiing on the bottom of Lake Superior.
Re: Michigan Oven
That is beautiful, James.
Down here on the southern end of Lake Michigan, the only indigenous metal I ever found on the bottom was old Drewry's Beer cans.
...Doesn't seem to have the same pizazz.

Wildwasser Neo Spray Skirt
The pocket is incredibly useful for a safety rope, caribiners, knife, whatever. The only problem that I find is that the tunnel is not high enough. I use the skirt for whitewater paddling, so perhaps for touring (it's actual intent), this isn't a problem. Good seal on the boat, easy to slip on.

I've decided that I have to rip the innards out of my helmet and see if I can de-putrify it. Its particularly hot and humid in Bali... and a black full face helmet is pushing the boundary a bit.
I left the bike at the hotel and caught a cab to Immigration (Imigrasi) in Denpassar - I'd never have found it otherwise I reckon. And... after a couple or more beers with Agus and the guys at the pub for lunch ... its cabs or walking.
I'd parked the bike up at the pub on Kim's last day here - then when she ended up at the hospital, I had to jump on and get back to the hotel so I could take her to the airport. Sheesh..... I won't ride in Oz after a single beer - and here I was riding among madmen with a tankful. After a few errors in navigation though, I reckon I've got the central Kuta area sorted. The bikes can use the back alleys... the cabs pretty much can't - but they still try.
It ended up being an interesting day. You wouldn't want to let it get to you. Imigrasi in Denpassar say "you need to have a sponsor" to extend your visa... and you have to go to Imigrasi in Kuta (where I started the day). Got my sponsor, filled in all the forms... went to Kuta Imigrasi.... "that section is closed... 11am close". "Can we pay extra"? Nah.... anyhow, Agus was with me, so five minutes of checking everything... he's said he'll take my passport back there at 9am and do the queue work. Of course.... there's a sign there saying "visa extensions must be lodged 7 days before expiry of visa".
I ended up lodging my application on the last day of my current one. Hmmm, that's OK... because I haven't overstayed. I was just thankful I didn't have to end up doing a visa run to another country at the last minute. I scraped through with Imigrasi with 30 minutes to spare, after hiring a secretary to recreate a form with one word changed (Denpassar became Kuta)... because you can't alter an official form... but you can recreate it.
The plan now is "coral fishing"... Agus is teeing up a boat from somewhere in his family and its off to the reef. If Chelsea and Kathy (a new German friend - who all the locals think is either my daughter Kim or her sister) ever emerge from their slumbers, that is.
I went clubbing with them, but bailed from the nightclub a tad after 3am. It was the funniest damn thing I've ever done. Here's this ratty looking 56 year old... about double the age of anyone else on the dance floor, dancing with the cutest girl there.
All these young bucks would try and cut in and end up sulking off with their tail between their legs. It actually provoked an interesting response with a lot of expat women - half a dozen came up to try and figure out what it was that I had. I must do that again. I must be getting fit... got up at 7am and despite hours of dancing, feel (relatively) fine. The girls were on cocktails... I paced myself with the Bintang.
Here's one with yet another young buck trying to figure it out. I just had to snap this because of the young local girls. They weren't just standing there... they were full-on dancing with a glass bottle balanced on their heads
We'd done yet another beach sunset before dinner / clubbing. The traditional view of it....
A more realistic view of it....
Yeah... the bracelet, necklace hawkers were there. I actually bought a couple more bracelets (early Chrissy shopping) and bought 4 of the women a Sprite - they'd done a long day on the beach for not much return.
.... and yeah... despite pacing myself..... its hard to stay sober in a club like the Bounty. Alcohol Free Day today.
A man should only do the work that is required of him. To do more is a form of greed.
Ride through Oz and Asia

Tuesday is Earth Day, and once again, one of the key issues that people will be talking about is protecting our clean water. Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule change that would give the federal government regulatory authority over wetlands and streams. The advocacy group Environment Connecticut is about to kick off a door-to-door canvassing campaign to encourage people to support the rule change.

Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
Can anybody elaborate on the differences between Durock, Hardiebacker and several other of the brands that are commonly used?
Pros and Cons of each? Which is recommended to use over the steel studs of our ovens?
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
Great question Ken! I've been wondering the same thing myself! ;)
I think the other posts pretty much agree with what I read at Lowes. Hardi backer for vertical (and horizontal) use. Durock for horizontal. The finishes are virtually identical. I'd be surprised if their physical properties varied much.
I did read on the Durock website that it was only rated for something like 30 cycles of freezing to warm when wet (from memory). That put me off of my original use that I intended as a drip stopper underneath an upstairs deck over a downstairs slider/porch.
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
Personally, I prefer the Hardi - I used both several times.
When I did my outdoor kitchen cabinets I used Durock over steel studs along with the recommended screws -had a serious problem getting the screws to start straight and drive flush without chewing an egg shapped hole, I ended up predrilling. Durock doesn't cut as clean either, in my opinion.
Never had any problems driving screws through Hardi, whether vertical or horizontal. I also like the "score and snap" cutting properties (just like drywall); Also using a backerboard saw blade on my circular saw gives a much cleaner edge on the Hardi than the Durock...Hot/cold cycling is not an issue for me here in FL, when I lived in northern Ohio Hardi was considered the "high end" siding alternative to vinyl and aluminum. I'm pretty certain there are no issues with hot/cold, freeze/thaw when it pertains to weather conditions with Hardi...Durock, I don't know.
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
It seems to be a matter of personal prefrence whether to use Durock, HardieBacker, 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch. Ask 10 different people and there will be 10 varied opinions. Thats part of what make things interesting. However Durock is acceptable for exterior applications where HardieBacker isn't.
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
Hardi does not specify in any of their literature that it is not suitable for exterior use...nor does it say that it is; merely states that it is suitable for all wet applications.
In any case, nearly every outdoor island and grill enclosure company uses Hardi (don't know why). With their experience with siding, I would have no problems using their board outdoors.
All things considered, Hardi, Durock, Wonderboard will all do the job very well. Use whichever is least expensive or more readily available.
One last point about the Hardi - be careful using the 1/4" product, it can break easily.....the only downside I can think of, probably inherent to most 1/4" sheet goods.
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
RT; I have to agree with you that any of the products will work. They are all cement based products that will be covered with something whether it's tile, stucco ect. But on the HardieBacker sire i did find the following. In accordance with National Evaluation Service Report NER-405, HardieBacker board is recognized only as an interior substrate. I probably should have put it in my previous post and been more clear. I just felt it was good info to pass along.
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
I've started attaching my backer board. To make things fun, I bought 4 sheets of HardiBacker and 1 sheet of Durock Cement board. Both are 1/2" thick. I would definitely use the 1/2". 1/4" will be too thin.
Note: Hardibacker seems to be spelled 2 ways. I have found references on the James Hardie website for both "Hardibacker" and "Hardiebacker". The sticker on my board is spelled "Hardi", but the stamp on the board says "Hardie". I haven't figured that out yet :confused:
I have pretty much the same observations as RT made a few posts up.
1. Cutting: The Hardibacker does a really nice job with "Score and Snap". I scored the board twice with a utility knife and it usually snaps clean. I used the utility knife to make an occasional trim.
The Durock also "Scores and snaps" but not nearly as clean. It's a true cement/aggregate product so it can't snap as cleanly.
2. Drilling: I had no problems using Hardibacker brand screws to attach the Hardibacker board. No pre-drilling required. Screws countersink nicely. They have a sharp area under the head that allows them to bore right into the board. Pretty cool.
I was also able to attach the Durock with the Hardibacker brand screws. Because of the texture of the product, the screws didn't go in as cleanly, but I still got good connections and countersinks without pre-drilling. Again, I think the Hardibacker wins this category (by a hair).
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
I will throw my two cents in on a third product - I believe it is WonderBoard - another glass mesh cement aggregate product carried by either HD or Lowes. I truely hate this product, maybe it is just me, don't know; this stuff doesn't cut worth a damn (unless using a circ saw) and predrilling is an absolute must when using steel studs (light gauge, i might add). I guess my problems could have been user error or possibly the screws (they were not manufactured by Wonderboard, but were recommended for use with Wonderboard and Durock).
Again, a personal prefference thing....I just have not had the best of luck with Durock and Wonderboard. All 3 are pretty indestructable in a wet environment, so you can't go wrong with your choice.
Re: Cement Board, Hardiebacker, Durock... Which one?
I was in Lowes yesterday and there's a Georgia Pacific product as well - I forget the name, that is intended for attaching tile to in wet applications.
I questioned the men in the department about the qualities and applications of the three boards. They both said "use Hardiboard", regardless of the application. They were pretty uneducated in the other products. Probably a sales rep. had his way with them and now they tout the Hardiboard above anything. God forbid I question what the rep. told me!

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Combine wine, sugar, orange juice, lemon peel, and clove in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add pear halves to saucepan. Cut out round of parchment paper same size as saucepan. Place parchment round atop pears, pushing edges of parchment into liquid to prevent edges from curling up. Reduce heat and barely simmer until pears are tender when pierced with knife, about 12 minutes.
Using slotted spoon, transfer pears to bowl. Boil liquid in saucepan until slightly syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 14 minutes. Cool syrup to room temperature; stir in crème de cassis, if desired. Pour syrup over pears. Cover and chill at least 12 hours, turning pears occasionally.
Thinly slice pear halves lengthwise almost to stem end, leaving stems attached. Spoon generous 1 tablespoon pear syrup onto each of 4 plates. Top each with 1 pear half, pressing gently to fan. Serve with cheese.

To be honest, I didn't enjoy the previous Spiderman movies, except for the second one, which I thought was decent. I guess that's because of the way Peter Parker was portrayed by Tobey Maguire—watching him play Spidey made me feel like my soul was being sucked by a dementor. After three movies, Spiderman had become a tired franchise.
The Amazing Spiderman, which was a reboot of the franchise, was so much better in so many ways. Marc Webb's take on the movie was very contemporary and his vision of Spider-Man's New York City feels very much like the New York City of 2012. Andrew Garfield was perfect as Peter Parker and as his wisecracking, super powered alter ego.
In the new movie, we get to see the "trickster" side of Peter Parker, with a more punk-rock aesthetic to him as well. Critics believe that Andrew made his character live and breathe in a new way. His last line, where he mutters to Emma Stone sotto voce about promises which one can't keep being the best kind (with that amazing smile), sent my senses tingling!
Andrew plays Peter as more of a misunderstood outsider, a rebel with a chip on his shoulder, a guy who wasn't afraid to stand up to the class bully even before he underwent his transformation. His Spiderman is more spider-like, his Peter more awkwardly charming than his predecessor, and no, you CANNOT call me biased.
Also, I think we can all agree that, being younger Andrew is fit to play the role of a seventeen-year-old boy—not to mention the fact that he is drop-dead gorgeous and charismatic. I think the icing on top is the fact that in real life, Andrew has a British accent to die for! I really hope that there is a sequel to this amazing movie and it's even better than this one (if that's even possible)!

Every year on Statehood Day, December 11th, the Indiana State Archives places two of the State's most enduring treasures on exhibit in the Rotunda of the State House. Both the 1816 and 1851 Constitution are housed in a specially designed display case, which was constructed partially from wood saved from the original Elm, under which the 1816 Constitution was written. The constitutions remain on exhibit throughout the Legislative session, after which they are returned to the State Archives vault for safekeeping in an appropriate climate controlled environment.
Join in the excitement as Indiana prepares to celebrate its Bicentennial in 2016!

Dar es Salaam — On the 7th of December 2012, I landed at O. R. Tambo International Airport.
As it is my routine, I went around bookshops and saw a book titled 'Why Africa Fails'. I smiled, picked it and turned to its back. I quickly glanced at it.
The Author was an African from East Africa. I bought it immediately. When I started reading it I could never stop, says Zitto Kabwe, Member of Parliament for the leading opposition part seat, Chadema when narrating to East African Business Week about a newly launched economic book "Why Africa Fails."
The next day he says, "I was travelling to Germany and there I met the author. I didn't hide my happiness. Within a week today (Last week) I am in Kampala to officiate the launch of this very critical book about our own development, Africa's development."The Official Launch of the Book- Kamugisha E.T., Why Africa Fails: The Case of Growth Before Democracy (NB Publishers, 2012), 19th December, 2012- Kampala Uganda.
It is unfortunate that Africa has been struggling with economic, political, and social issues. The continent is extremely rich in natural resources and potential for competent human resources.
However, this richness has only remained on paper and inside the pockets of some few individuals connected to the powers. The continent, as we all know, has been experiencing poverty, civil wars, epidemic diseases, corruption, dictatorships, and coups.
All these have led to the labelling of Africa as a 'poor continent' 'black/dark continent' and 'a scar on the conscience of the world' among many other negative phrases. The continent forms largest part of what Prof. Paul Collier calls The Bottom Billion, Kabwe says.
Since late 1960s there have been many scholarly and political attempts to explain the poor state of Africa. These include academic theories such as the World System Theory (which blames Capitalism and the Western World - as responsible for Africa's poverty).
Walter Rodney, for example, published a masterpiece titled 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa', which analysed the adverse impact of slavery, colonialism, and other European intervention on Africa. "Other explanations focus on inward problems including corruption, undemocratic regimes, and failing states," Kabwe says.
The World Bank and IMF, for example, link the problems of Africa with 'poor' policies that do not comply with the market economy and democratic ideals. Of late, Prof. Acemoglu and Prof. Robinson published a book 'Why Nations Fail' which attributes success and failure to the type of institutions a state has in place.
Thus, from their arguments, Kabwe says Africa fails because of African states have institutions that are extractive and exploitative to its people. By and large, the kind of policies that Acemoglu and Robinson recommend are those that conform to the market economy or in modern times, we can call them neo-liberal policies- These, according to them, are inclusive institutions.
"All these explanations for the failure of Africa are apportioning the blame to different actors," he lamented.
The attempts to explain the failure of Africa are often attached with recommended policies that often come with strings attached- which, at best, perpetuate the same issues. The World Bank and IMF, for example, came up with the Structural Adjustment Policies (SAPs), which, by and large, did not work.
He said that efforts to solve African problems have been numerous and most of them do not result in sustainable improvements. Thus the question remains - Why Africa Fails?
This is why Dr. Kamugisha's book is timely and of extreme importance to the development of our continent. This is especially so because Dr. Kamugisha is an African, full of insight into what the African problems are, hence he is equipped with all rounded knowledge to recommend relevant and sustainable solutions, he says.
"As a result of his education, research, and experience as an economic adviser, Dr. Kamugisha brings us an analytical book that, if taken seriously, can help Africa to change its status from 'a scar' to 'a beacon of hope," he added.
Dr. Kamugisha stops the syndrome of 'apportioning the blame' and call upon Africans (ourselves) to deal with our problems. He argues that African malaise is due to our own blunders. "Indeed there are a number of mistakes made by African governments that cannot be attributed or blamed to external factors. These are such as corruption, illicit money transfers, unfair contracts, and brain drain," Kabwe told the gathering.
Many a times, as a Member of Parliament and a Shadow Finance Minister, I have moved private motions in Parliament as an attempt to deal with issues that are stagnating our economies. The latest motion I moved was on the illicit money transfer.
This issue, for example, has nothing to do with external intervention, and so we cannot blame anyone apart from ourselves. Millions of money are transferred from the government/country to private accounts abroad by our fellow Africans, he noted.
He says that such malaise actions are facilitated by poor policies and corruption that is rampant in our governments. "We can correct this ourselves through right legislations and policies."
Studies have shown that billions of US dollars are illicitly transferred from Africa annually. Recent study published by Global Integrity Report shows that around $560bn are transferred from Africa annually.
If we compare this figure with the total amount of foreign Aid as well as Foreign Direct Investments flowing to Africa it a factor of 1:7!.....UNCTAD reports that Africa receives an average of $37bn every year as FDI.
Similarly around $37bn flows into Africa annually as foreign aid. Therefore, in every one US dollar coming to Africa, seven US dollars illicitly leaves Africa.
It is our duty as Africans to end this through strengthening institutions that oversee our economic sectors especially extractive sectors like minerals and Oil and Gas, he insisted.
"I have learnt that in Uganda, the Parliament has just passed a legislation to govern its Oil wealth. It is very disappointing that Ugandan Parliament has vested the management of the sector to an individual in the name of the Minister," he said.
In Tanzania, the move is towards establishing an Authority to regulate licencing and the whole upstream and midstream as well as downstream sections of the hydrocarbons.
The sub-title of the book 'The Case for Growth Before Democracy' is the catchiest. I asked Dr. Kamugisha if he advocates growth before democracy as I didn't find this argument in the book. The sub tittle is supposedly a question mark rather than an argument. Democracy and economic development have to go together.
"Most of the African countries tried dictatorship for almost three decades and it didn't bring people out of poverty. I always tell my colleagues in Tanzania that our country is poor out of choice. We have chosen to be poor. Africa's is Optional Poverty," he added.In light of the above, Dr. Kamugisha challenges us all to look inward and come up with the right policies that will make Africa a success story. The meager state of Africa is not natural, it's optional and we can change it.

Amazing aurora captured in northern Europe (Video)
Check out this beautiful timelapse video of an aurora over northern Sweden.
The largest geomagnetic storm since 2003 has come and gone at this point, bringing with it a lot of solar radiation and plenty of beautiful auroras. Here was one I found while looking around online which was taken in northern Sweden in Abisko National Park. Watch the timelapse which was taken over a 3 hour period on the 24th.
Lights Over Lapland Photo Expedition video of CME impact on 1-24-2012 from Lights Over Lapland on Vimeo.
Here's a look at exactly where the national park is located. Doesn't look like it's too easy to get too but I wouldn't imagine there would be much in the way of light pollution!
I found a cool site from NOAA that shows a forecast for auroras in a nice display with different spots on the globe including the South Pole. Also, be sure to visit the website of the people that took the video which has tons of great pictures of auroras. Very cool stuff!

Clear that inbox man
Ignore my PM as well.
Okay man, no worries!
Wasn't for long buddy! Was only online on my phone! I'm on now though- sup?
Sorry dude was playing Mass Effect, what's up? PM me.
You too buddy. #MuchLove
Thanks for the endorsement.
To be honest, no. I wouldn't mind the extra workload but the thing is, I also have to bare the knowledge of what happens before the show is posted and I enjoy being an eager spectator. If I were to be a creative member, I'd have to slowly retire most or all of my characters in the fed before I considered the role. But I just want to have a grasp at writing matches before I get into the fray.
Hey, I'd like to volunteer to write a match in the future as well, preferably the RR. I might even make a sample Royal Rumble match featuring the Fantasy Fed's talent, send it to you and you'll be able to see how well you think it is.

Israel's ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, "categorically denied" that he specified the Republican Party when he described as harmful making Israel a partisan issue.
"I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel," Oren said in a statement emailed Tuesday to reporters. "Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle."
Rep. Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), in a training session Monday for Jewish activists at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., said Republican efforts to depict President Obama as insufficiently pro-Israel were a salve to those who longed for a wedge between Israel and its most powerful ally.
"We know, and I've heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel," she said.
Oren has repeatedly said attempts to make Israel a partisan issue are detrimental to the bipartisan support the Jewish state has for years enjoyed, but he has never singled out one party as more responsible than the other for promoting such divisions.

Vulnerable people are increasingly targeted as subjects for clinical research. Have we forgotten the lessons of past abuses?
A GREAT deal of scientific research - especially in medicine - relies on human subjects. Protecting volunteers has been a prominent social and legal issue since the 1950s, when the world recoiled from the horrors of Nazi medicine.
We have come a long way since then, but it pays to remember that the Nazis did not have a monopoly on atrocities committed in the name of science. One of the worst cases of human subject abuse was perpetrated by American scientists who, between 1932 and 1972, misled hundreds of black people with syphilis in Tuskegee, Alabama, by deliberately leaving them untreated to enable researchers to study the progression of the disease.
Tuskegee wasn't an isolated incident. Historian Susan Reverby of Wellesley College in Massachusetts recently uncovered another appalling ethical breach. In the ...

opinionBy Hassan B. Nagado
Exactly six months ago, the Katsina State Government launched the comprehensive Allo model scheme, a scheme that was designed to prevent Almajri students from street roaming, and begging, and instead, transform them into productive human beings that have tremendous contribution to state and national development.
Six months after the declaration and launching, over 17,000 pupils of these Qur'anic schools were so far removed from the streets and enrolled into skill acquisition programme that will by the middle of this year see its first graduates.
Under the first phase of the programme, 70 Qur'anic schools were selected across the state as pilot scheme to provide skills and other support for the pupils so as to prevent them from street begging.
The scheme which has been acclaimed as a pioneer social revolution by many social workers and NGOs will ensure the acquisition of skills in various technical areas so that by July this year at least 17.000 former Almajiris will be empowered to open businesses in the areas of fashion, auto mechanics, building etc.
Already thousands of equipments meant for the programme have been acquired and training in progress. These facilities include sewing machines, barbing equipment, generators, cap making materials and laundry facilities were provided for each school with three trainers each to train the pupils.
In addition, the state government provided food items, such as maize, rice, guinea-corn, millet, beans, sugar, cooking oil and soap as well as some cash for the purchase of soup ingredients monthly to the schools.
Teachers in these schools are also being given N10,000 monthly allowance, while two women in each of the schools are employed as cooks to ensure proper feeding of the almajiris and are being paid N3,000 monthly.
In a recent inspection that Governor described the pilot scheme as a success and expressed government's desire to continue investing in the programme which he said have started yielding positive results.
Already, the state government is working hard to see to the expansion of the programme to several other Qur'anic schools as provision of large sums of money has been made for it in the 2013 budget.
A recent statistics released by the state government showed there are 8,365 Quranic schools with 460,212 student population in the state. The recent graduation of 17.000 almajiris although a few but significant efforts, it is believed that such feat will go a long way in reducing the menace of street begging.
When the state government launched the programme on the 19th of July, 2012 a new dimension to a very long social menace bedeviling communities in northern Nigerian and has defied several interventions by state governments, NGOs and other organizations came into effect.
The Almajiris, according to studies, have reached an alarming 15 million members across the region. These classes of people moving about searching for Islamic education in largely inhumane condition as they were left by their parents and teachers to carter for themselves, and sometimes for the teachers as well.
This menace has led to several efforts by states and even of recent, the federal government through the Almajiri schools project. In Katsina state this strategy is already paying dividends with the enrolment of these 17,000 almajiris.
According to Governor Ibrahim Shema the new reform is sustainable, realistic and a model that will bring the suffering of the Almajiri to end as well as take them back to the social order where they belong as responsible citizens with a lot to contribute to the development of their country.
Under the new reform millions of Almajiris will be provided with three square meals, modern learning facilities, clothing and above all the curriculum for their training includes skills acquisition so that at the end of their studies, the students will be in position to sustain themselves thereby preventing increase in street begging.
The first phase of the programme which started with 70 selected almajiri schools in three senatorial districts of Katsina, Daura and Funtua is already bearing fruits with the removal of these 17.000 street beggars off the radar of social menaces.
Unlike several other concepts what differentiates the Katsina concept is the integrated manner that both Islamic and western education could be learned side by side while trades will also be taught as part of the curriculum in these schools.
Already with these large numbers off the streets any visitor into some of these areas will see a significant reduction in the number of street beggars, which means reduction in the number of under aged children being exposed to diseases and vulnerability to anti social influences as they move searching for food and work to sustain themselves as human beings
This project has not taken up without stakeholders input, agreement and commitment which is why several Islamic scholars, students , traditional rulers, politicians and other stakeholders continue to commend the visionary thinking of the administration of Ibrahim Shehu Shema in the conceptualization and implementation of the Allo model school idea.
It is expected that by the end of 2013 over 2 million almajiri students in Katsina state will be enrolled into the Allo model school and will begin the path of dignified life that will enable them to become responsible members of their communities.
It is believed that by the end of another six months more than 20,000 more street beggars would be taken off the streets, enrolled for skills acquisition, and be trained to become part of a productive society that will help in the much transformation agenda of the federal government.
It is these kinds of interventions that Katsina state is spearheading in the fight against social injustice, poverty and unemployment and it is agreed by all stakeholders as the most viable option to rid our society of the ills of millions of youths roaming the streets in search of livelihood.
Nagado wrote in from Unguwar Dabina, Dutsin

At todays exchange rate I paid $1200
At that price you got a beautiful classic BMW. Those are known to easily go WELL over 200,000 miles with no engine work. Two members in my BMW club exceeded 225,000 on their K-bikes.
The smoking, after the bike is parked on the sidestand, is a very common characteristic of the K-bikes. But it is not necessarily caused by crankcase oil seeping by worn rings, because the oil sump level is actually below the pistons. More often it is caused by oil mist that had condensed in the air box (the crankcase breather is routed into the airbox). When the bike is parked on the sidestand that oil can dribble down into whichever throttle body is the lowest, and at startup the smoke is caused by that very minimal oil being burned in the combustion chamber.
To put your mind at ease, have a compression test done. If it comes back in spec, then you only have the typical K-bike Startup smoke and nothing to worry about it. Ride it, enjoy it!
When life throws you a curve,.....lean into it!

By NATHAN GREGORY
A child care worker formerly employed at First Baptist Church Creative Learning Center has been released on $10,000 bond after being charged with two counts of felony child abuse.
Starkville Police Department officers arrested Dianna Lynn Covin, 52, of 134 Josey Ave., Wednesday on charges that she intentionally gave muscle relaxants to two infants on May 17.
The infants, who were 7 months and 4 months old at the time of the incident, had to receive emergency medical assistance as a result of ingesting the drugs.
Information contained in two affidavits alleges Covin put portions of the medication Tizanidine directly into the infants mouths "for the express purpose of keeping (them) quiet."
The Creative Learning Center (CLC) is a full-time child care facility located at First Baptist Church Starkville, licensed by the Mississippi Department of Health.
Information from the U.S. National Library of Medicine describes Tizanidine as a skeletal muscle relaxant that "works by slowing action in the brain and nervous system to allow the muscles to relax."
CLC Executive Director Karen Graham said Covin's employment was terminated May 21, three days after she was placed on administrative leave. Graham said Covin has not been on the CLC campus since May 18.
She said she immediately reported the matter to the Mississippi State Department of Health when she was informed of what took place.
MSDH Communications Director Liz Sharlot said she could not comment on the investigation but the department began investigating as soon it was informed.
Graham said Covin had been employed at CLC for almost 10 years. She is scheduled to appear 6 p.m. July 2 in Starkville Municipal Court.
A parent of one of the children, who asked not to be named, said when he picked up his child from day care, he noticed the child was "very limp, had trouble breathing and was taken to the emergency room and subsequently admitted to the hospital overnight."
"You don't want to think someone would ever do this with a child, especially someone who deals with children on a daily basis and has for some time," the parent said. "I am angry about that but relieved that the police have been able to put some charges to this. Most of all, (my family) is thankful it wasn't worse. First and foremost, we're thankful our child is still around."
Graham said the CLC family is "shocked and broken-hearted to learn of the breach of trust by a former employee."
"We are committed to providing quality care for young children and families in our community, while educating them in a loving Christian environment by qualified well-trained teachers and caregivers," she said. "Consistent with our established procedures and licensing obligations, we alerted state authorities at the first instant we obtained knowledge of a possible concern, and we immediately removed the former employee from all contact with children at CLC pending a more thorough investigation.Â
"Since that time, we have combed our records, talked with our staff and terminated the individual involved," she added. "We are working with authorities in their ongoing investigation of this individual. I have been in touch with each of the families involved to communicate our ongoing actions and support. We hold sacred the health and safety of our children."
The parent said he was grateful to SPD officials for their help throughout the investigation.
"We are confident in their case and the ability of the justice system to handle it from here," he said.

Jodi writes about a harrowing experience in her application essay. Check out her story.
A teacher once told me that if a person lives a perfect and uneventful life, he or she wouldn't actually be living a life at all; the tribulations and obstacles in life are what make life worth living. Even at a young age, I knew that this was true. When I was eleven years old, I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer too common in growing children my age. I left school to undergo daily treatments of chemotherapy. Every day for a year, chemicals were pumped through a medical port near my heart. As my body fought both the medicine and my tumor, my muscles grew sore. My hair fell off. Life became increasingly difficult. I felt like my body was fighting against me. My friends at school kept contact with me in the beginning, but soon, their lack of compassion strained our relationships; I stopped speaking to them shortly after I had my first major surgery.
I closed off connections with life outside of my world. My family members were afraid to do anything, but kept pushing me to reconnect with my friends and go out. I never did, and I would criticize their actions no matter what they did. I was stuck in a self-made bubble, watching the rest of the world change and evolve. Before I knew it, my course of chemotherapy was over, and I returned to a completely different life at school. It was hard to fit back into such a carefree and unaffected place, but I did. I regained control of my body, my hair grew back, and I grew close to my friends again. I realized that while I was isolated from the effects of time, everyone else was not. Eventually, I returned to a normal life, until the beginning of my sophomore year, when I was diagnosed with a recurrence of osteosarcoma. However, this time, I was not as isolated; my friends and family were far more supportive this time. It was not easy to have friends come to visit me who did not know what to say. As I look back on it now, I see that it was equally my fault because I didn't know what to tell them. Chemotherapy seemed to pass by faster with their encouragement, and we developed a better and deeper bond. Cancer was a large part of my life, and it will always have a huge impact on my growth as a person. At first, I treated having cancer as what it was- a devastating disease, but as I grew older, I realized that it was a blessing in disguise. This experience has taught me a lot of life lessons, ones that you wouldn't be able to learn from a book. Ranging from humility, inner strength, and the importance of family and friends, they all have had lasting impressions on me.
Sparker, you have true grit. It's obvious that you met your unthinkable challenge with grace and strength. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Here are a few suggestions to consider as you revise:
Use paragraphs. Paragraphs make your essay easier to read and (ideally) force you to organize your thoughts into units of words. Use them.
Start strong. I'll admit, I was skimming a bit until I got to this sentence: "When I was eleven years old, I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer too common in growing children my age," at which point I gasped a little. Dispense with the throat-clearing introduction, and jump right into your story. Your reader will be instantly hooked.
Be more specific. As you say, you learned many life lessons from this experience—in fact, I'm sure a library full of books wouldn't give you enough space to capture all the lessons you learned. For the purposes of this essay, though, it's important to choose just one key lesson, and explain it fully. Feel free to mention "humility, inner strength, and the importance of family and friends," as you do here, but then narrow your focus. There are a few passing comments in this draft that jump out at me as potential themes for your essay:
Essentially, you have too much great material here. To make your essay as successful as possible, you must choose just one key theme and run with it. Good luck!
Sparklers, flex your peer-editing muscles and tell Jodi your suggestions for improvement.

I think it would depend on the judge believing you don't know.

Goal is to devise plan to tackle S.D.'s nearly $900M backlog of road, storm-drain repairs
The first step toward addressing San Diego's nearly $900 million infrastructure backlog — those pothole-ridden streets that have become embarrassing fixtures of city life — begins Monday with a new, comprehensive approach to the problem.
The City Council's newly created Infrastructure Committee will hold its first meeting with the goal of developing a five-year plan for tackling the backlog, the first long-range plan for a city government with a history for putting short-term needs first with often disastrous long-term results. That plan may serve as the blueprint for a ballot measure in 2014 or 2016 that asks voters for affirmation on the chosen direction or perhaps a tax increase to fund it.
Heading up the committee will be City Councilman Mark Kersey, a Republican businessman from Rancho Bernardo who took office last month. He said the panel will move quickly on a three-step approach: streamline city operations to get projects from concept to completion in a more efficient way; develop a needs assessment for all of the city's assets and get neighborhood input to prioritize projects; and, the most difficult task, find a way to pay for it all.
"We've neglected infrastructure for so long as a city, and part of that was due obviously to the fiscal disasters that we are facing, but now that we've got past some of those … we're at least at a point where we can start looking at how we're going to invest in the infrastructure of the city," Kersey said. "Before we can address these problems and how we're going to fix 'em, we really need a clear diagnosis of what these problems even are."
The last diagnosis came in February 2012 when city staff outlined $898 million in street, storm-drain and building projects. But Kersey said that assessment didn't include certain assets, such as the 5,000-plus miles of sidewalks in the city, so the actual price tag likely tops $1 billion.
The committee's goal is to develop a five-year plan by the end of the calendar year after holding meetings in various neighborhoods to gather input. Then city leaders would tackle financing options next year.
Council President Todd Gloria kicked off the civic discussion over infrastructure during the Dec. 3 inauguration ceremony in which he boldly called for a ballot measure to address the problem. He has said it wouldn't necessarily include a tax increase, but that's the only scenario in which the city would be required to go before voters.
Gloria initially said he hoped to get it on the November 2014 ballot but now acknowledges that may not be possible given all the work that needs to be done before then, particularly when it comes to getting neighborhood input.
"I don't think we should be in a position of going to the public without all of our ducks in a row and without a strong, deep consensus having been found," he said. "If that takes four years, then that's what we'll do. The thing I can assure the public is that the problem will still be here four years from now if we don't take any kind of aggressive action. It is my hope that, at a minimum, what we'll have in place is a process that addresses infrastructure as efficiently as possible and that sets the stage for addressing the problem once and for all."


text: I apologise that this is so long but I'm desparate. My just 5year old cob is really hard work to get going in the school, a real plod. I've had him for nearly 2 years and because my confidence comes and goes we just don't seem to be getting anywhere. In an open field he jig-jogs and won't walk, which scares me because I'm not in control and i;'m afraid he'll take off, my daughter tells me that I do all the right things to control him and that he's still a baby! Then in the school he plods!:frown: Another problem is part of the way we have to walk to his field is covered in long lush grass, he barges across my path head down really quickly and munches away. I've tried all sorts of things different head collars, now in a dually, he's always worse with me too. I'm thinking of putting a feeding muzzle on him to stop it. I think this behaviour is showing that he doesn't respect me, but he's fine with other things. I'd value any thoughts on this PLEASE!! Deb:help::frown:

Olivia Manning is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators, in fiction, of the experience of the Second World War in Europe and the Middle East. In her two major semi-autobiographical novel sequences, the Balkan and Levant trilogies, her portrait of a group of British expatriate teachers, writers and diplomats caught up in the disruptions of the conflict sets an intimate study of personal relationships in the context of international political and military intrigue across a five year period. Her fictionalized treatments of wartime Romania, Greece and Egypt convey as a backdrop the suffering caused by the collapse of old imperial Europe, the rampant spread of fascist ideology and the mass displacement of …

New Associate Profile- Doug and Brooke Devine '99, '00
They always intended to "give back to the school that has given us both so much." So as soon as Doug '99 and Brooke '00 Devine found themselves able, they joined the ranks of the Associates donors to Roanoke College.
The strong ties that both Brooke and Doug developed at the College helped motivate them to make this level of gift to Roanoke. Some of Brooke's favorite memories of Roanoke involve the support and individual attention she received from the faculty in the math and psychology departments. Doug's favorite memories revolve around the friendships and experiences he gained through lacrosse and Pi Kappa Phi.
"We hope that future generations can experience Roanoke as we did," the Devines say. "We made lifelong friendships while we were there and the academic demands prepared us well for the challenges that we have faced since graduation."
After graduating from Roanoke, Brooke Devine received her masters and a certificate of advanced graduate studies in school psychology from George Mason University. She is currently a school psychologist for Roanoke City Schools. Doug Devine is a sales manager for New Energy, a furniture importer based in Christiansburg, Virginia. The couple resides in Salem.
