A Confucian Constitution for China
by Jiang Qing and Daniel A. Bell
from the New York Times
Recently, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a speech in Mongolia denouncing Asian governments that seek "to restrict people's access to ideas and information, to imprison them for expressing their views, to usurp the rights of citizens to choose their leaders." It was a swipe at China's authoritarian political system. The view that China should become more democratic is widely held in the West. But framing the debate in terms of democracy versus authoritarianism overlooks better possibilities.
The political future of China is far likelier to be determined by the longstanding Confucian tradition of "humane authority" than by Western-style multiparty elections. After all, democracy is flawed as an ideal. Political legitimacy is based solely on the sovereignty of the people — more specifically, a government that grants power to democratically elected representatives. But there is no compelling reason for a government to have only one source of legitimacy.
Democracy is also flawed in practice. Political choices come down to the desires and interests of the electorate. This leads to two problems. First, the will of the majority may not be moral: it may favor racism, imperialism or fascism. Second, when there is a clash between the short-term interests of the populace and the long-term interests of mankind, as is the case with global warming, the people's short-term interests become the political priority. As a result, democratically elected governments in America and elsewhere are finding it nearly impossible to implement policies that curb energy usage in the interests of humanity and of future generations.
Jewish Life in Shanghai's Ghetto
by Casey Hall
from the New York Times
Shanghai–While much of the city's Jewish Quarter has disappeared in the years since the end of World War II, the Ohel Moshe Synagogue is a constant reminder of how this Chinese city saved tens of thousands of Jews fleeing the Holocaust.
Built by Russian Jews in 1927 in the Hongkou district in northern Shanghai, the synagogue was the primary religious destination for the Jewish refugees who flooded into the city.
And while its facade has not changed, the building now is the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum. It is the first stop for many visitors seeking information about what the Holocaust scholar David Kranzler called the "Miracle of Shanghai."
About 20,000 refugees settled around the synagogue, in an area called the Restricted Sector for Stateless Refugees but more commonly known as the Jewish Ghetto. The 2.68 square kilometers, or about a square mile, which was cordoned off by the Japanese who controlled the city, also was home to 100,000 Shanghaiese, who were welcoming to their new neighbors, according to Jian Chen, the museum's director.
Islamophobia's Implications for the United States
by Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy and Akbar Ahmed
from Huffington Post
Amid a surging fear of Muslims — Islamophobia — in our nation, it is time for all of us to improve our understanding of Islam and our relationships with Muslims — if not because it is right to do this morally, then because it is in our best interests nationally.
The fact is that we live in a world alongside one and a half billion Muslims, and regardless of the desire of some on the fringes of society, our Muslim neighbors are not going anywhere. A failure to understand this population and its religion is bad enough. Choosing to intentionally demonize those who follow this religion and provoke the anger of the Muslim people qualifies not just as insensibility but insanity.
Her Holiness: Is the Time Right for a Female Dalai Lama?
From The Huffington Post
Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, would make the perfect dad. Imagine having to tell the world's most famous "simple Buddhist monk" that you wrecked the family car. Material items are not important, but you must examine the causes and conditions that gave rise to this accident. Or that you spent all the money in your checking account before the end of the month — again. You will not find happiness through external means. You must look inside to identify the things that lead to happiness. Or that you are devastated by the breakup of your love relationship.Everything is impermanent. This suffering too will pass.
His gentle and often playful manner, his engaging smile and twinkling eyes, his quick wit and simple yet profound remarks inspire a sense of reassurance, acceptance, and peacefulness that the world has come to attribute to this one person, this man.
But what if the next Dalai Lama is a woman? Would she, or even could she, offer the world the same grounding wisdom? Inspire compassion within people of all cultures? Properly navigate Tibet's troublesome relationship with the Chinese government?
Buddhist Charity Opens in Atheist China
From Reuters
China's ruling Communist Party has a testy and often bitter relationship with religion. During the chaos of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, temples and churches were shut, statues smashed, scriptures burned, and monks and nuns forced to return to secular life, often after receiving a good beating or even jail.
While the officially atheist Communist Party hardly pushes religion these days, its attitude has softened considerably, though rights groups frequently complain of sometimes harsh restrictions on Christians and Muslims especially.
On Friday, the Taiwanese Buddhist charity the Tzu Chi Foundation opened its Chinese chapter, in the historic eastern Chinese city of Suzhou, perhaps better known in the outside world for its stunning gardens. Officials say Tzu Chi is the first overseas non-governmental organisation to receive the Ministry of Civil Affairs' blessing to operate in China. Normally they have to register with the Commerce Ministry as businesses.
It is another sign of China's Communist rulers' growing but still limited religious tolerance and part of a drive to win the hearts and minds of Taiwanese. The Chinese government is generally less fearful of Buddhism with its home-grown roots, but maintains tight control especially in Tibet where monks have been jailed for supporting their exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
Yet Tzu Chi is barred from preaching and cannot raise funds from ordinary Chinese without government approval on an ad hoc basis. "We will not make it a point to preach when we do charity work on the mainland, but if people ask me my religion, I will say I'm Buddhist," foundation spokesman Rey-sheng Her told Reuters.
"We will use compassion to care for every suffering person and enlighten them to use love to help others," said Her, a former Taiwan television news anchor.
The opening of Tzu Chi's China chapter, housed in a traditional courtyard, was attended by Chen Yunlin, China's top negotiator with self-ruled and democratic Taiwan. Despite China and Taiwan's political rivalry, bilateral trade and investment, tourism and civilian exchanges have blossomed since the late 1980s. "The two sides of the (Taiwan) strait need this spiritual bridge … so that they can live in harmony," Chen said.
China claims sovereignty over Taiwan and insists on eventual unification, through force if necessary, a goal it has not renounced despite the signing of landmark trade and tourism agreements following the election of the China-friendly Ma Ying-jeou as Taiwan president two years ago.
Taiwan, with its rambunctious democracy, enjoys complete freedom of belief. In China, the Communist Party sees religions as rivals for the loyalty of the Chinese people and have maintained tight control over beliefs since taking power in 1949. The Party has sought to use religion to help curb rising social unrest and fill an ideological vacuum in the post-Mao Zedong era which has eroded ethics and spawned graft.
In what appears to be growing tolerance towards religion, museums in Beijing and Shanghai hosted exhibits this year to commemorate the 400th death anniversary of Matteo Ricci (1582-1610), the Italian Jesuit who brought Christianity to China. Foreign clerics, including Jesuits and other Catholic orders, were expelled after the Communists seized power in a revolution in 1949.
Tony Blair On Religion in China
From The Washington Post
My interest in China – her history, her people and her culture – began before I was British Prime Minister. During my time in office, I knew power was shifting East and sought to build strong relations with this fast moving new power.
Since then, I have got to know the country even better still. Today, I am a witness to a new revolution happening here; to the rapid modernization and the opening up of borders, culture and society both internally and externally. And whilst power is still shifting East, there is a fascination about what that means for China and for the rest of the world. I hope the new partnership my Faith Foundation is announcing with Peking University can, in some way, help to explain. The Tony Blair Faith Foundation has been looking at the issues of faith and globalization for three years now. We've been working with some of the world's leading universities to define and debate these vital questions academically. We started at Yale University in the United States and now have a network of seven leading research institutes, stretching from Mexico to Australia.
I am delighted to be announcing in Beijing that Peking University is the newest member of this group. China's great wealth of academic, and other, talent is engaging and shaping our world as never before and Peking University holds an esteemed place in the international academic world. I believe the launch of this partnership signifies China's openness on many levels and willingness to reach out to other universities in a spirit of co-learning and enterprise and to contribute the best of its talent to an international consortium of academics and future leaders. The new course will focus on Western and Chinese doctrinal traditions – looking at different faith traditions in different parts of the world, not just within the Chinese context. This is proof positive of China's outward-looking perspective. In the future the Peking University and Tony Blair Faith Foundation will co-sponsor a discussion event at the Beijing Forum 2010, under the general theme of "The Harmony of Civilisations and Prosperity for all – commitments and responsibilities for a better world."
One of the crucial questions for people of faith – and for those who are not – is how does interfaith dialogue impact on international policy-making? How does faith and dialogue motivate and influence decisions on a global scale?
Some in the West may find the idea of debating religion in China strange. They will cite, for example, that proselytising in public places in China remains forbidden. But few are aware that Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam and Daoism are all officially recognized and almost one third of Chinese describing themselves as religious – an astonishing figure for an officially atheist country where religion was banned until three decades ago.
According to a 2006 survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, 31% of the Chinese public considers religion to be very or somewhat important in their lives, compared with only 11% who say religion is not at all important. When asked a somewhat different question in a 2005 Pew poll, an even greater percentage of the Chinese public (56%) considered religion to be very or somewhat important in their lives.
China's Quiet Religious Revolution
From NPR
Alongside China's astonishing economic boom, an almost unnoticed religious boom has quietly been taking place.
In the country's first major survey on religious beliefs, conducted in 2006, 31.4 percent of about 4,500 people questioned described themselves as religious. That amounts to more than 300 million religious believers, an astonishing number in an officially atheist country, and three times higher than the last official estimate, which had largely remained unchanged for years.
The collapse of the communist ideology created a void that has left many Chinese staring into a spiritual vacuum, looking for a value system to counterbalance the rampant materialism that seems to govern life in China.
"Chinese people don't know what to believe in anymore," says Liu Zhongyu, a professor at East China Normal University in Shanghai, who conducted the survey. "And since the political atmosphere has relaxed, they turn to religion for comfort."
One young evangelical Christian missionary travels from rural village to village in the Protestant heartland in eastern China to proselytize. She attributed her own conversion to the overwhelming pressures of China's education system.
"In high school, I felt very depressed," said the bright-eyed young woman, who gave her name as Nicole. "I felt people had no direction, and I felt life was dry and boring. I felt the pressure of school was very high. God helped me and liberated me."
Although proselytizing is still illegal in China today, she and a group of friends are openly preaching in villages, without official interference. China has come a long way from the dark days of the Cultural Revolution, which ended in 1976, when all religious practice was banned, and monks and clergy were sent to prison or to perform hard labor.
Chinese Preachers in Indonesia Teach Universality of Religion
From NYT
CIBUBUR, INDONESIA — In Indonesia's crowded world of celebrity Muslim preachers, it often pays to have a trademark. For Koko Liem, his ever-present Chinese-style outfits — garish satin tunics paired with matching skullcaps — play the role.
Whether in television appearances or Koran recitals, the approach of Mr. Liem, a 31-year-old convert to Islam from Indonesia's ethnic Chinese minority, is undeniably kitschy. In multihued permutations of his signature garb, he mixes preaching with guest appearances on dating and talk shows and promotes a religiously themed text-messaging service through his Web site.
Mr. Liem is one of a small but significant group of ethnic Chinese preachers to emerge over the past decade with a simple message: that being a member of Indonesia's dominant majority — Muslims — and its historically most maligned minority — Chinese — need not be mutually exclusive.
"Clerics don't only have to wear turbans. I'm a Chinese cleric. This is how I am," Mr. Liem said at his home outside Jakarta, bouncing around boyishly on the couch in a crimson version of what he calls the "Koko Liem Costume."
To outsiders, that assertion may seem unremarkable, even banal. But in Indonesia, it represents a powerful break with the past.
The Dalai Lama's Message to the West
From HuffingtonPost,
The Dalai Lama's 75th birthday on July 6 marks a bittersweet milestone. The anniversary is cause for celebration that his message of peace has become so widespread, yet it is also illustrative of his mortal frailty as China's power grows and the Dalai Lama's fades.
But there is also a deeper resonance — and controversy — to his preachings: that peace and compassion are more important than prosperity and financial advancement. It is a message, at one time straightforward and prehensile, that now poses a dilemma, particularly to the West, in our troubled times. Practicing what the Dalai Lama preaches, for some, has never been harder.
In September 2006 a murder on a remote mountainside on the Tibet/Nepalese border perfectly illustrated the West's conflicted response when the moral imperative to speak up for human rights and spiritual freedom comes at the risk of increasing prosperity. Near Choy Oyu, the sixth tallest mountain in the world, a group of Chinese People's Armed Police opened fire on a group of 74 Tibetan refugees in full view of 100 or so Western climbers.
Among them was 17-year-old Tibetan Kelsang Namtso. Forbidden from becoming a nun by her family in Tibet for fear that it would lead her into trouble with the Chinese authorities, she took her vows in secret. A year later, frustrated that that she could not practice her faith in a working nunnery because of draconian regulations and interference from Communist party officials, she decided the only option she had left to find spiritual fulfillment was to cross the high Himalaya. A chance of a few seconds with the Dalai Lama and the opportunity to practice her faith freely in India was worth a grueling journey beset with danger. Together with her best friend Dolma Palkyi, she set out. After 12 brutal days, just 20 minutes from the border, Kelsang Namtso was shot in the back and killed as Western climbers watched.
Shortly afterwards children, monks and others who couldn't escape were led through the climbers' camp at gunpoint, some later to be tortured in a mountaintop military compound.
Some of the Western mountaineers, making considerable amounts of money leading climbing expeditions, urged others in camp not to talk about the murder lest the Chinese retaliate by banning them from climbing in Tibet. In short, the climbers faced the same dilemma that the West faces in that if it wants to economically prosper together with the Middle Kingdom it must, at China's insistence, turn a blind eye to its human rights abuses. A few climbers broke the adopted code of silence — one Romanian filmed the murder — and the story shortly thereafter became an international incident as the footage contradicted China's assertion that the soldiers killed in self-defense. It was the first time a human rights murder in Tibet had been captured on film since the Chinese invasion in 1950.
Kelsang's best friend, Dolma Palkyi, and 43 others made it to India where they met the Dalai Lama.
I too met the Dalai Lama shortly after Kelsang Namtso's murder and found a profoundly human presence, rather than a lofty god-king. He was above all else direct and simply angry, not only at the murder but also at the West's apathetic response to China's brutal treatment of Tibetans. He told me that the West was often consumed with indifference, self-interest and quite simply racism.
"In the sixties, seventies and eighties, we went through incredible suffering," he explained. "But they [the west] all looked at Russia and not China." His chest was heaving as he spoke. "Perhaps it is because we are Asian, they don't care?" he asked me directly. "So you see there is even discrimination in human rights!"

While hanging out in the backyard of their California home, Oliver's neck and face suddenly began to swell. Emergency room doctors treated him for anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic reaction to foods and other things in the environment. Peanut butter or a bee sting was probably the culprit in Oliver's case, said Bowen, best known for her role as a neurotic mom on the television show "Modern Family."
She has joined the campaign Get Schooled in Anaphylaxis to teach schoolchildren about the disorder. As a part of the initiative, the Emmy-winning actress has recorded a video that can be viewed on the organization's website Anaphylaxis101.com.
Also as part of the campaign, a traveling exhibit will stop at Arundel Mills on Oct. 25. The exhibit will include a 120-square-foot mural and interactive features shoppers can activate with their smartphones to learn more about anaphylaxis.
Children and adolescents are most at risk for the ailment, and food allergies are the most common cause. Cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soybeans and wheat are some of the foods most likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
Insect stings, some medications and latex are also common triggers.
Children are particularly vulnerable at school, where they may come into contact with foods that can bring on allergy symptoms. While schools have become more proactive, Bowen and others said making students aware of the disease can help prevent allergic reactions.
"Oliver has become our best advocate," Bowen said of her son, now 5 years old. "He knows if there's a new food or cereal bar to take it to [a] camp counselor to check the ingredients. He is very aware of what he eats."
Teachers and administrators also need to know the symptoms and treatment options so they can help a child who suddenly becomes sick.
Bowen said she had never heard of anaphylaxis before her son's episode.
"The word was long and sounded Greek, and none of us really knew what it was," she said.
Anaphylaxis is caused when antibodies, which fight off viruses, bacteria and other harmful invaders, start to see certain foods and other triggers as the enemy as well.
Those who suffer an allergic reaction can show a wide range of symptoms, including dizziness, headaches, weak pulse, nausea, skin rash, hives and swelling of the lips or tongue. In the worst cases, people die.
The disorder is treated with epinephrine, a naturally occurring hormone. The drug constricts blood vessels, which increases the heart rate and blood pressure.
Like Oliver, many people don't know they have severe allergies until they have an attack.
At Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, many people find out they have the disorder after they land in the emergency room.
"Sometimes the symptoms can come very quickly after the person comes in contact with a trigger," said Dr. Joanne Lanzo, director of pediatric medicine at Sinai. 'I think the most important thing for people to do is to learn the symptoms so they know when they're coming."
In Bowen's case, Oliver had eaten peanut butter before with no complications. Doctors said this is not unusual.

French aircraft and troops are backing soldiers in Mali who are trying to push back Islamist offensives.
Hollande said that at the request of the President of Mali, France had committed itself to support the Malian army against what he described as "terrorist aggression that threatens the whole of West Africa."
"I have ordered the reinforcement of our French military forces in Bamako to protect our citizens," he continued.
Meanwhile, in Somalia, French commandos launched a failed raid to rescue an intelligence agent held hostage there for three years.

There have been several fundraising events in support of young Minster resident Oliver Smith, who has the childhood cancer neuroblastoma.
The family of the five-year-old is trying to raise money for treatment he could need abroad if his conditions worsens, which could cost up to £500,000.
At the end of February, there was an online charity auction that raised £2,000.
Fashion chain New Look is supporting the Halfway Houses Primary School pupil throughout 2014, and the manager of the retailer's Maidstone shop, Jade Morley from Queenborough, organised the Facebook auction.
There were plenty of lots up for grabs, from beauty treatments and clothes to jewellery and days out.
Dozens of people made bids for the items.
Then on Saturday, friends and family of the youngster were at Morrisons at Neats Court to do a sponsored bag pack.
Nine people got involved and asked for donations from shoppers to get their groceries put away.
Altogether, the event raised £472.10.
Separately, a photograph showing Oliver holding up a sign encouraging people to donate to his cause has become popular online.
The picture is a take on the drinking craze NekNomination, which has swept the internet in recent weeks, where people post online videos of themselves ingesting weird or dangerous cocktails before nominating challengers to outdo them.
Oliver is hoping that, instead of taking part in the risky game, people will text a donation to his cause and nominate two friends to do the same.
Since the image was posted on Facebook, it has been shared more than 200 times and there have been about 50 donations.
Oliver's mum, Natalie, of Coral Road, Minster, said: "I would like to thank Jade very much for all her hard work.
"I'm delighted with how much the auction raised and am grateful to everyone who got involved and was so generous.
"I'd also like to thank everyone who helped with the bag pack, and all the shoppers who donated money."

Basic Information
EPA has developed the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2 rule) to improve your drinking water quality and provide additional protection from disease-causing microorganisms and contaminants that can form during drinking water treatment.
Your drinking water comes from source water locations such as:
Pathogens, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, are often found in water, and can cause gastrointestinal illness (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting, cramps) and other health risks. In many cases, this water needs to be disinfected through the use of additives such as chlorine to inactivate (or kill) microbial pathogens.
Cryptosporidium is a significant concern in drinking water because it contaminates surface waters used as drinking water sources, it is resistant to chlorine and other disinfectants, and it has caused waterborne disease outbreaks. Consuming water with Cryptosporidium, a contaminant in drinking water sources, can cause gastrointestinal illness, which may be severe in people with weakened immune systems (e.g., infants and the elderly) and sometimes fatal in people with severely compromised immune systems (e.g., cancer and AIDS patients).
The purpose of the LT2 rule is to reduce disease incidence associated with Cryptosporidium and other pathogenic microorganisms in your drinking water. The rule applies to all public water systems that use surface water or ground water that is under the direct influence of surface water. The rule will bolster existing regulations and provide a higher level of protection of your drinking water supply by:
This combination of steps, combined with the existing regulations, is designed to provide protection from microbial pathogens while simultaneously minimizing health risks to the population from disinfection byproducts.
Questions and Answers
Why is EPA concerned about Cryptosporidium?
Why is EPA concerned about Cryptosporidium?
Current regulations require filtered water systems to reduce source water Cryptosporidium levels by 99 percent (2-log). Recent data on Cryptosporidium indicate that this treatment is sufficient for most systems, but additional treatment is necessary for certain higher risk systems. These higher risk systems include filtered water systems with high levels of Cryptosporidium in their water sources and all unfiltered water systems, which do not treat for Cryptosporidium.
Who does this rule apply to?
The LT2ESWTR applies to all public water systems (systems) that use surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water. This includes about 14,000 systems serving approximately 180 million people. What are the requirements of the rule?
Systems initially monitor their water sources to determine treatment requirements. This monitoring involves two years of monthly sampling for Cryptosporidium. To reduce monitoring costs, small filtered water systems will first monitor for E. coli–a bacterium that is less expensive to analyze than Cryptosporidium–and will be monitor for Cryptosporidium only if their E. coli results exceed specified concentration levels.
Treatment: Filtered water systems will be classified in one of four treatment categories (bins) based on their monitoring results. Most systems are expected to be classified in the lowest bin and will face no additional requirements. Systems classified in higher bins must provide additional water treatment to further reduce Cryptosporidium levels by 90 to 99.7 percent (1.0 to 2.5-log), depending on the bin. Systems will select from different treatment and management options in a "microbial toolbox" to meet their additional treatment requirements. All unfiltered water systems must provide at least 99 or 99.9 percent (2 or 3-log) inactivation of Cryptosporidium, depending on the results of their monitoring.
Uncovered Finished Water Reservoirs: Systems that store treated water in open reservoirs must either cover the reservoir or treat the reservoir discharge to inactivate 4-log virus, 3-log Giardia lamblia, and 2-log Cryptosporidium. These requirements are necessary to protect against the contamination of water that occurs in open reservoirs.
Disinfection Benchmarking: Systems must review their current level of microbial treatment before making a significant change in their disinfection practice. This review will assist systems in maintaining protection against microbial pathogens as they take steps to reduce the formation of disinfection byproducts under the Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule, which EPA is finalizing along with the LT2ESWTR.
How soon after publishing the final rule will the changes take effect?
The LT2ESWTR will improve the control of Cryptosporidium and other microbiological pathogens in drinking water systems with the highest risk levels. EPA estimates that full compliance with the LT2ESWTR will reduce the incidence of cryptosporidiosis - the gastrointestinal illness caused by ingestion of Cryptosporidium - by 89,000 to 1,459,000 cases per year, with an associated reduction of 20 to 314 premature deaths. The additional Cryptosporidium treatment requirements of the LT2ESWTR will also reduce exposure to other microbial pathogens, such as Giardia, that co-occur with Cryptosporidium. Additional protection from microbial pathogens will come from provisions in this rule for reviewing disinfection practices and for covering or treating uncovered finished water reservoirs, though EPA has not quantified these benefits.
How much will this rule cost?
The LT2ESWTR will result in increased costs to public water systems and States. The average annualized present value costs of the LT2ESWTR are estimated to range from $92 to $133 million (using a three percent discount rate). Public water systems will bear approximately 99 percent of this total cost, with States incurring the remaining 1 percent. The average annual household cost is estimated to be $1.67 to $2.59 per year, with 96 to 98 percent of households experiencing annual costs of less than $12 per year. Is funding associated with this rule?
Funding may be available from programs administered by EPA and other Federal agencies to assist systems in complying with the LT2ESWTR. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) assists systems with financing the costs of infrastructure needed to achieve or maintain compliance with SDWA requirements. Through the DWSRF, EPA awards capitalization grants to States, which in turn can provide low-cost loans and other types of assistance to eligible systems.
In addition to the DWSRF, money is available from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utility Service (RUS) and Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. RUS provides loans, guaranteed loans, and grants to improve, repair, or construct water supply and distribution systems in rural areas and towns of up to 10,000 people. The CDBG program includes direct grants to States, which in turn are awarded to smaller communities, rural areas, and colonias in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas and direct grants to U.S. territories and trusts.How did EPA develop this rule?
The Cryptosporidium monitoring and treatment requirements in the LT2ESWTR reflect a consensus Agreement in Principle of the Stage 2 M-DBP Federal Advisory Committee. This Committee consisted of organizational members representing EPA, state and local public health and regulatory agencies, local elected officials, tribes, drinking water suppliers, chemical and equipment manufacturers, and public interest groups. EPA published the Agreement in a December 29, 2000, Federal Register notice.
EPA proposed the LT2ESWTR on August 11, 2003. Approximately 200 organizations and individuals submitted comments on the proposal. In the final LT2ESWTR, we made a number of changes from the proposal to address these comments. In response to concerns with both laboratory capacity and the implementation schedule, we have moved back the dates when many systems will begin monitoring. This approach will provide sufficient time for Cryptosporidium laboratories to develop adequate laboratory to support monitoring under the rule. Further, it will allow states the time to play a greater role in providing oversight for monitoring by their systems.
Why are unfiltered water systems required to add treatment?
Where can I find information on contacting a laboratory to analyze my monitoring samples?

Is a toy rat terrier. PLL Clear & UKCI registered. Bounce weighs in @ 7 lbs 7 oz. Bounce has a strong, assertive personality so she blends right in with our busy rat pack. Bounce shows off her rattitude by leaping, jumping, tug-a-war, & she runs with our pack. Bounce is also independent enough to break away from the pack to find a quiet place to relax and enjoy a chew toy. Bounce is definitely an outdoor dog. While most our pack enjoy lounging on the back of couch or cushy dog beds, there's Bounce in the middle of yard exploring the dog tunnels, gnawing on a toy, or stretched out in the grass enjoying the sun. Her favorite playmate is Sugar. Sugar is our tallest toy, and Bounce is our shortest. They look so cute playing together. They have similar personalities & interest and play well together.
Date(s): From Robindales Ratties.

This covers exactly one month since its launch on Oct. 1. DHHS reported 14,059 were represented. As of Nov. 2, 250 individuals had completed the insurance plan selection process, with another 506 applications still pending.
The number, 250, falls well below expectations, but the Director of the Arkansas Department of Insurance Jay Bradford, says he's focusing on a different number, the 14,000 people that have actually applied.
"Certainly, they're way behind their original projections," Bradford said. "[But] When I see that 14,000 people have completed the application, that is somewhat encouraging for me."
Bradford says the 14,000 is signs of moving in the right direction, but says no one can deny that the healthcare.gov start up was as rough as it could possibly be.
Arkansas Department of Insurance stresses that the plans weren't even view able until Oct. 1 and customers have until Dec. 15 to pay to be eligible for coverage.
Bradford says the low number doesn't take into account the nearly 50,000 who've signed up for the private option here in the state.
For the entire report released by DHHS, see the embedded link.

Avoid the Black Friday Crowd by Shopping on Cyber Monday
Looking to save some cash but dreading the Black Friday crowds? Consider using your laptop and Internet connection instead. Cyber Monday, according to National Retail Federation, has become more popular than Black Friday, scoring 96 millon shoppers in 2009. While you lose the ability to handle items before committing to buy, Cyber Monday has the advantage of allowing you to shop anywhere you have Internet access.
How does Cyber Monday (the Monday after Black Friday) work? It's simple. You fire up your laptop and make your purchases at online retailers. Many retailers are offering Cyber Monday sales, including AL Books, ACE Hardware, 1-800-Flowers, and more. You can find a list of Cyber Monday sales at several websites, including CyberMonday.com.
Before making a purchase, be sure to read up on the retailer's return policy in the event that you don't get the product you anticipated. To avoid scams, make sure the website is secure and has a good track record. For more tips on staying safe while shopping online, check out our post here.
Be sure to check out LogicBUY.com for hot deals, and LogicBlackFriday.com, where everyday is Black Friday.

Editor's note: This is the first story profiling candidates for judge in the 16th Circuit Court District in Tuesday's general election. The Daily News staff is working to contact other candidates in races to be profiled and will publish those stories as soon as interviews occur.
Oktibbeha County Circuit Court Judge Jim Kitchens has no plans to take his robe off after wearing it for almost 8 years.
Running again to serve the 16th Circuit Court District for a third term on the bench, Kitchens says he wants to continue providing safe, prosperous neighborhoods and improving the welfare of people affected by his rulings.
Kitchens is running for the Place 1 judgeship against William Starks.
Since Kitchens was first elected, he formed a partnership with treatment programs such as Recovery House in New Hope and Buried Treasures, sending their way more than 200 people who've made a 90 percent success rate with both completion of programs and eradication of future offenses, he said.
And before determining the future of felons, Kitchens counsels them, hoping they'll understand that they do not have to continue the cycle of self-victimization and drug abuse.
"I don't talk to them any differently than my dad did with me when I did something against the rules," he said.
Like many of them, Kitchens said he wasn't born into a life of luxury and came from a line of bona fide laborers. His great-grandfather mined for coal, his grandfather worked was a carpenter and his father served as a soldier. Kitchens said he learned early that nothing pays like old fashioned hard work, even for minimum wage at 19 years old for making pants.
Later he worked on an off-shore oil rig and funded his economics degree at Mississippi State University with jobs at Wal-Mart and McRae's.
Kitchens continued working and studying his way through law school at Mississippi College.
It was his pre-college years, however, that taught him the value of not only a solid work ethic but also a sense of justice.
The first 18 years of his life — saturated with the "color blind" military community made up of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds — profoundly impacted the way he handles criminals, as if he sees them as more than just criminals.
"I learned that we all want the same things — jobs, education, safe neighborhoods," he said, "and I try to help this community along in that direction with the decisions I make."
Many of them thank him later for those decisions, Kitchens said, and he doesn't care of some of them were popular with the public.
"I don't go on the Internet and seek out approval or disapproval of how I've handled some cases," he said.
Doing so, he added, could affect future similar cases thrown in his lap.
"I might overlook the facts in the second case instead of looking to listen to the facts and apply the law," he said. "If I'm wrong, I'm not going to be wrong for the wrong reasons."
For those reasons, Kitchens has confidence that he chose the right career path and has continued making the right decisions ever since.
"At 47, I'm doing the job I always wanted to do in the place I've always wanted to be," Kitchens said.

"I am very happy to be a part of the UMass Lowell family."
"I came to UMass Lowell from Middle East Technical University, which is one of the best universities in Turkey. I chose to apply to the Ph.D. program in chemical engineering here because I wanted to continue to get a high-quality education for my future academic career. As an international student, I had some concerns about getting used to a different culture. This wasn't a problem at this University though because UMass Lowell has lots of cultural and fun events for students to start a new college life. UMass Lowell also offers many opportunities in different research areas and it has state-of-the-art laboratories. Now, I am working with Dr. Nese Orbey and my research topic is microencapsulation, which is a new trend topic. It is based on coating materials within a continuous film of polymeric shell. This technique is used in many areas such as pharmaceutical applications to control the release of medicine, food industry to mask the taste or odor, to improve shelf life, etc. In short, doing research in this high technology environment is very helpful to improve myself as a Ph.D. student. I am very happy to be a part of the UMass Lowell family."

Opera partners with Ford for in-vehicle browsing
Opera is looking at getting its browser onto in-vehicle computer systems with a partnership with Ford to bring in-dash web browsing to Ford trucks and vans to cater to a "growing need for remote access to the office while on-the-road".
Ford's solution is the first of Opera's plans to deliver an on-board, full-featured browser to deliver traffic, weather, news, e-mail and more to drivers, "seamlessly and safely".
"Using Opera Web technology, vehicle manufacturers can eliminate 'button overload' on the dash and instead offer a familiar screen experience, one that can be customized and operated by voice input", says Christen Krogh, chief development officer at Opera.
"Opera believes that in-vehicle browsing comes down to convenience, staying competitive and customization. As the leading Web innovator, Opera has just the flexible, cross-platform solution that vehicle manufacturers need".

Just so I understand this correctly, I am NOT a PDGA memeber so it would be $70 for me? And If the money is going to the Am's payout are the Pro's not winning cash? THanks!by Jen33 - SN Tournament Information
Look everyone. I have stated it multiply times, I was not trying to cause a commotion. I understand its hard to run a tournament, I have done it. I understand about adding money and all that jazz. Bernie, don't be so defensive it was a very legit question. Not too mention, there were other people questioning, I just stepped up and asked. Brad, I did have fun at the tournament and was very fourtunby Jen33 - SN Tournament Information
Hahahaha Dillion that's great!!! It's on old shell by the interstate.by Jen33 - General Discussion
So Brad you think it's great that in 2011, there were 7 women and 1st place won $350. In 2012, there were 11 women, that could possibly a record, and 1st place won 300$. Please feel free to explain how you consider that a "great" payout??by Jen33 - SN Tournament Information
Robby I'm not too sure that I know you. But I will say this if you think it's ok for the 2011 winner to win more money with not only less women but less people at the tournament then you might want to get yourself checked. I already said I was try to cause a commotion, but that's a legit question. There are many people not happy about the payout and I'm appear to be the only one to grow a pair anby Jen33 - SN Tournament Information
I totally understand the stress running a tournament can be. I ran a tournament, and although it might not have been as big I know that those who helped run that tournament with me can tell you where every penny went. I also understand with playing out more spots. But there were 11 women and top 4 paid out. Something doesn't quite add up and I was just hoping that someone could fill in the blanksby Jen33 - SN Tournament Information
Is it possible to get a break down of the payouts? I am not trying to cause conflict, I am just curious how in 2011 there are 7 women and the winner of 2012 when there are 11 women gets paid less than the winner of 2011? If this was in fact the biggest howler, then I don't believe the payouts reflected it. I had a great time at the tournament. Congrats to all the winners. Can't wait till nextby Jen33 - SN Tournament Information

Pro Women play red tees too right? Haha!!by Jen33 - General Discussion
Thank you so much for having such a wonderful tournament. I do however have one question, it was mentioned to me that since we did not play a full 2nd round that we would not recieve our Southern National Points. I heard that there was some question at another tournament not too long ago in Arkansas, I believe. I was just wondering if it was possible to get some official word. Thank you againby Jen33 - General Discussion
Well I think that if we could get a serious work day at the boug then the extra holes will be ready to play. Then if we have the temp 18 out in the field we should be ok. Not to mention, there are extra places that we could possible make a few extra holes if needed. But all I understand is, there are many people that are not happy with the way things are going. There is not a set itenerary for thby Jen33 - General Discussion

Comments about Sony Memory Stick Duo Replacement Adapter:
I needed more pic space for my older sony camera a Cybershot DSC-P72. I had 128MG memory in there and it was a longer stick which you can no longer buy. The Mory stick Pro Duo (2 GB) from SanDsik fit right into this memory adapter and I now have 2GB on my card to take pics. It also fits into the memory slot on my computer as my old 128MB card did. GREAT! Now I don't have to buy a new camera yet. This old Sony still takes good enough pictures for me and I like a viewfinder and all the new ones (compact) don't seem to have this anymore.

Love this adapter!
By MooresWife
from Eglin AFB
I love this adapter! I just take my memory card out of my camera and slide it into this adapter and slide it all into my computer for quick and easy upload of my pics and video to my computer. It is so much more convenient than using the cords that came with it, and without the adapter I wouldn't be able to put the memory card directly into my computer.I love this thing, and at less than $10 it doesn't break the bank when my son gets a hold of it and looses it.

Don't buy this product
By GadgetGal
from Philadelphia
I have a Cybershot DSC-09 Camera. Why did Sony make thousands of products with a memory stick slot that they would later make obsolete? Why does Sony not simply continue to supply the "old" memory stick for the millions of loyal customers who bought their PCs, cameras, and video cameras?

I bought a Sony Memory ...

I bought a Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo for my HandyCam. When I tried to put the card into my laptop low and behold it wouldnt work. I was sick to say the least. Came home and found this adapter. It works great. It allows me to put my new card into a laptop and transfer my videos to the computer. Its small, flat, and fits into one of those multi card readers on your laptop. No extra cables to deal with. Great idea Sony. Thanks.

I think this is great! It lets me use the port on my notebook. Just wish they would provide a rigid jewel case for it and it's flash card. Can't seem to find one anywhere and placing it in a soft case can bend it.
Memory Stick Duo Adapter
By James
from Scottsdale, AZ
Tried two MAC Duo Adapter MSAC-M2 memory adapters and both failed to work. As an electrical engineer I noticed that the pins inside the adaptor bent upon insertion of the memory stick. Quite simply the adaptor suffers from either a poor design or poor quality control. Very dissapointed with Sony for creating an odd sized memory stick that requires an adaptor in the first place and then desgning an adaptor that does not do the job. Also the instuctions are poor and do not indicate how far the memory is to be inserted into the adaptor. Sony take note, you have done better in the past!

The North Carolina deputy who resigned following a YouTube posting of a road-rage clash with a Summerville man is back on the job with the Onslow County Sheriff's Office, but as a jailer.
Chad Walton, 32, of Summerville, tangled with Onslow County Sheriff's Deputy Craig S. Culpepper on I-526 last week. The deputy cut in front of Culpepper and hit his brakes, causing the two cars to bump.
Walton posted a video of the clash on YouTube, where it has been viewed more than 1 million times.
Walton told The Post and Courier that he posted the video because the deputy should be held accountable for what he called erratic driving.
Culpepper, 47, of Jacksonville, N.C., resigned last week and issued a public apology for his behavior on his Facebook page.
The sheriff told Culpepper he could continue to work as a deputy in the detention center, and Culpepper accepted that offer Wednesday, according to a statement from the Sheriff's Office.
Walton said Culpepper was holding up traffic in the left lane of I-526 when he came up behind the deputy's cruiser.
"I flashed my high beams at him. I could see him yelling at me in the side-view mirror," Walton said.
Walton is seen passing the cruiser on the right. Then the cruiser is seen pulling alongside Walton, speeding up and pulling in front of Walton, then hitting the brakes.
Culpepper braked suddenly, causing Walton's car to hit the cruiser, according to a North Charleston traffic collision report. No citations were issued to either driver. The deputy was shown as contributing to the accident, according to police spokesman Spencer Pryor.
Culpepper posted an apology on his Facebook page. He said he was driving home from a 40-hour K-9 handler-training course on Edisto Island when he "allowed another person to manage my emotions and I made a very bad decision."
When reached Wednesday, Walton declined comment about Culpepper's reassignment.

Re: What's going on?
Success, finally! I mixed up a big batch of dough with the Caputo I recently acquired. 13 250g dough balls. I made 2 - 12" pizza's last nite, and it was a nite & day difference. They cooked up beautifully. I changed too many things at one time to give the Caputo all the credit. (smaller dough balls, no oil, different flour, higher hydration) But the Caputo is easy to work with, and a $2 cheaper than the Kyrol hi gluten that I've been using. Thanks for all the help. Having a houseful tonite, and may throw a few pizza's in the oven. Hopefully I've got this licked!
Re: What's going on?
Glad to see you got it worked out. The Caputo makes all the difference in the world. We also shop at PennMac and what a place that is. Try a case of the LaValle San Marzanos availbale in small cans. One can will do about 20 pizzas or so.We also use 275g balls and find it to be the perfect size for most entertaining as most people want to try all the different ones as they come out of the oven.
I don't know of many WFO's around this neck of the woods, where are you located? I am just south of Erie in Edinboro, PA.
We may have to get together to share notes sometime.

Re: What's going on?
I'm a few hours south of you, about 45 minutes east of Pgh. I haven't seen any around my area either, nor do too many know what it is or how it works until I give them an explaination. I didn't get to the house early enough for pizza last nite, but I have the oven firing right now since I refuse to waste the dough I had in the fridge. I hope I can repeat my results from Friday.

I attempted this last year with a few sweet pepper plants and I'm sure it would have worked wonderfully if I had remembered to water them. Found at Cheap Vegetable Gardener.
I don't really have any desire to garden this year, but I do love the idea of hatching seedlings in eggs. But, I learned my lesson last year. If I'm going to plant anything, I have to buy sprouted plants instead of seeds. At least until Grady gets old enough to help me control the weeds. Found at Fidgety Fingers.
Another great idea for sprouting seedlings from Fidgety Fingers.
I really love this idea. I'm looking for a diy way to make my living room's light fixture not-hideous, and this may be my best bet. Found at under the sycamore.

As far back as I can remember, music has been a central part of my life. My parents both studied music at the University of Michigan, and I grew up listening to my mom's piano students in our house. I picked up my first guitar at 15. I absolutely love playing and learning new songs and chords. Over the years, I've had amazing times at concerts with friends. I love working at Crutchfield because I can help people discover the best way to bring the transformative power of music into their home and car.
I've lived here in Virginia for 26 years. I love hiking and mountain biking, and there are abundant opportunities in the Charlottesville area to do both. I am also an amateur photographer. I studied visual communications at Ohio University. Images and music make me happier than just about anything, and I love talking about them, so give me a call!

My recent call with Rex was extremely helpful. Rex not only solved my question with my recent purchase of of a Samsung LED TV but even went further looking up the manual on equipment not sold by Crutchfield in order to insure my setup was optimal. As a result my equipment (some of which I have been listening to for over a year!) ended up being a brand new experience. It's like I bought it new yesterday! It sounds great!!! It's support like Rex that will have me return over and over again!

Reese Pieces Together Titles
Professor Renford Reese has led All-Action to three straight league titles.
By Milaru Yamamoto
When Cal Poly Pomona professor Renford Reese accepted a teaching position in 1996 in the political science department, it was with the understanding that his new school had no football team.
"I knew that [Cal Poly] had one at one point in time," Reese said. "But it was taken away from them."
The former NCAA Division I standout safely found a way to fulfill his football desires on campus by joining All-Action, as Associated Student, Inc, intramural football team.
All-Action has won three straight league titles since its inception for years ago. It has won its last 23 games dating back to 2000. Reese is its coach and star quarterback.
Reese, who played against future National Football League pros while at Vanderbilt University, was ranked eighth in the nation as a safety. He even worked out with trainers from the NFL's Green Bay Packers.
Reese said he as even found himself drawing up plays during faculty meetings. As the only faculty member on the intramural team, Reese has given his All-Action teammates a clear advantage.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," said Son Nguyen, the founding member of All-Action who recruited Reese to play. If it was, we wouldn't have the same amount of success."
Nguyen, who graduated from Cal Poly last quarter, credits Reese for there even being a team. He said that Reese's performance on the field will "amaze and dazzle" opponents and spectators.
Reese said his participation in the intramural leagues is about more that just winning or losing.
"By playing on an intramural football team, I think that is an example of how I've decided to get involved with students," Reese said. "It's an extremely rewarding experience for me."
In 1999, All-Action first year, they lost in the championship game, which Reese said increased his drive to win.
"I realized it was a big deal, "Reese said. "I recommitted and rededicated myself to the science of the game.
Since finishing as runners-up, the team has won the last three league titles.
"You think to yourself, "Well, eventually we have to lose, but we haven't, "Nguyen said. "We keep on winning and I think we might go out like that. We don't want to put a blemish on our records."
Nguyen said in his seven years in the intramural league no team had ever won back-to-back titles, let alone three consecutive ones.
But All-Action does not always have the look of a championship team. Unlike most other teams, they have not uniforms. They check out the uniforms from the ASI Intramural Sports office.
"We're sort of like the rag-tag bunch," said Nguyen. "We just consider ourselves like blue collar workers..we just want to play, and sometimes that's the way it looks."
But they have their uniform championship T-shirts.
In his classes, Reese offers a challenge to his students. He challenges them to compete against him in any sport. In seven years, he has lost twice, once in golf and once in bowling.
When students lose, they have to tell the class what happened. If they win, they write a paper.
In March, Reese will go on a nine-month sabbatical to Europe and South East Asia finishing some documentary and a book and a film project.
As for his teammates, they are looking forward to September 2003, when they begin their quest to "four-peat".

These drivers and navigators are GOOD! Some racers were off their mark by thousandths of a second. It was like bracket racing, but for 118 miles. In fact, Billy Hunt and Mike Laurence (from Fort Stockton) ran a perfect number in the 120-mph class. In the 115-mph class, George and Barbara Langdon ran their '98 Corvette just over by 0.001 mph. Second place was only 0.002 over, while Third was just 0.004 over. Amazing! In the unlimited class, the win and new record went to Mike and Marsha Borders in a '99 Monte Carlo at 166.979 mph.
We ended up running 0.152 off our 85-mph target-good enough for Fifth place (even though there were only five in our class). It was a great time; we did something different, and learned a lot about what we would do if we could do it again-which we hope to do next year. We are already scheming on better heads and intake, maybe a cam or a set of gears...
