Army, Allah and America: on Pakistani pitfalls and the future of Egypt
All countries are unique and comparing two of the world's most populous Muslim countries, Egypt and Pakistan, is as risky as comparing Britain to France at the time of the French Revolution. But many of the challenges likely to confront Egypt as it emerges from the mass protests against the 30-year-rule of President Hosni Mubarak are similar to those Pakistan has faced in the past, and provide at least a guide on what questions need to be addressed. In Pakistan, they are often summarised as the three A's — Army, Allah and America.
Both have powerful armies which are seen as the backbone of the country; both have to work out how to accommodate political Islam with democracy, both are allies of America, yet with people who resent American power in propping up unpopular elites.
As my Reuters colleague Alastair Lyon writes, Egypt's sprawling armed forces — the world's 10th biggest and more than 468,000-strong — have been at the heart of power since army officers staged the 1952 overthrow of the monarchy. Mubarak's announcement that he was naming his intelligence chief Omar Suleiman as vice-president was seen as a move towards an eventual, military-approved handover of power. And Egyptian protesters have sometimes tried to see the army as their ally — an institution that puts country first before personal gain.
Yet armies, as Pakistan has discovered over its many years of on-again off-again military rule, are not designed for democracy. They are designed to be efficient, and with that comes the hierarchy and obedience to authority that would seem alien to many of those out on the streets of Cairo.
In his book about the Pakistan Army, defence expert Brian Cloughley writes about how the British general, the Duke of Wellington, responded to democracy in his first cabinet meeting as prime minister: "An extraordinary affair. I gave them their orders and they wanted to stay and discuss them." The story is told as part of an argument about why the Pakistan Army has never been particularly successful at running the country.
"All Pakistan's army coups have been bloodless, successful and popular – but popular only for a while," he writes. "The trouble is that military people are usually quite good at running large organisations, even civilian ones, but generally fail to understand politics and government, and the give-and-take so necessary in that esoteric world."
It is a lesson that may yet need to be learned in Egypt. As Amil Khan wrote from Islamabad in his Twitter feed, "Love the way Pakistani twitterers puzzled by Egyptians' trust in army. Guys, you're kinda similar, but kinda different."
Then there is political Islam. Both Pakistan and Egypt have powerful religious parties which have their roots in Islamist movements born out of Muslim resentment against British colonial rule. In Pakistan, the Jamaat-e-Islami, founded in then British India, has, along with other religious parties played a disproportionately significant role in setting the agenda which goes well beyond their weak showing at the ballot box. It has reached the point where no government — either civilian or military — has dared challenge them on issues of faith. When Salman Taseer, governor of Punjab province, was shot dead by his own security guard earlier this month over his opposition to the country's blasphemy laws, his killer was celebrated as a hero. Few dared speak out and most of Taseer's colleagues in the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) were quick to insist there would no changes to the laws.
Many attribute the grip of religious parties on Pakistani society to the use of Islam as a means of uniting the country's different ethnic groups, to past support by its military for mujahideen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan and then the Indians in Kashmir, and to the Islamicisation policies of General Zia-ul-Haq. But over the years every politician has made use of the religious parties to bolster their support, including PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who declared the minority Ahmadi sect as non-Muslims in 1974, and was later deposed and hanged by Zia in 1979.
In particular, argues Manan Ahmed in this essay titled "Pakistan's crisis can't simply be explained by religion", Pakistan politicised reverence for the Prophet Mohammed. "This emergence of the Prophet as a centralising and orienting raison d'etre for Pakistan, however, was not merely an organic outgrowth of a religiously inclined society, it was a deliberate state policy, aided by Islamist parties, to mould public faith. The blasphemy riots of the 1950s, when the Ahmadi sect was violently resisted by the Jama'at-i Islami, had taught one clear lesson to the religious right: the veneration of Muhammad was great political theatre with infinite malleability for nearly every segment of the Pakistani population."
Unlike Pakistan, Egypt has more ethnic homogeneity and, with its large Coptic population, greater religious diversity so – on paper at least – political Islam would be less obvious as a unifying force. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded like the Jamaat-e-Islami in opposition to British rule, has taken a low profile in the Egyptian protests, though as former Reuters bureau chief in Cairo Jonathan Wright argues in his blog, this may be a deliberately calibrated stance.
"The Brotherhood, like Islamist groups in many Arab countries, has cold feet about governing. It does not feel it is ready. This is reflected in its official strategy of concentrating on a political reform agenda which it shares with many other groups – free and fair elections, rule of law, a new constitution with checks and balances and so on. What the Brotherhood wants most in the short term is the freedom to organize and promote its ideas in a democratic environment, regardless of who is in government. The Brotherhood believes that, given freedom and time, it can win over Egyptians to its long-term agenda."
The Pew Global Attitudes Survey released in December also suggested that Egyptians might actually be more in favour of Islam playing a role in society than Pakistanis. Ninety-five percent of Egyptians questions said it was good for Islam to play a large role in politics, compared to 88 percent of Pakistanis. "At least three-quarters of Muslims in Egypt and Pakistan say they would favor making each of the following the law in their countries: stoning people who commit adultery, whippings and cutting off of hands for crimes like theft and robbery and the death penalty for those who leave the Muslim religion," it said.
Finally there is America, which has propped up military rulers in both countries and used generous quantities of American aid to buy support first against communism and then against militant Islam. In Pakistan, the United States is already struggling to foster civilian, democratic rule at a time when it is deeply distrusted. It is likely to face similar challenges in Egypt if it chooses, and manages, to go down that route.
Moreover, while the United States was able to underpin the growth of stable, secular democracies in Europe following World War Two with huge amounts of trade and aid, the world nowadays is still recovering from financial crisis. And as Pakistan's Dawn newspaper noted, the world's Muslim populations face faster-than-average growth rates at a time of increasing global competition for resources. At least some of the unrest in the Middle East, especially in Tunisia, was fuelled by anger over rising food prices. It is not an easy time for any country to win over people looking for an end to poverty and unemployment.

Victory for Love!
Today, we join the United States in celebrating history. This is more than celebrating during Pride month, more than wearing purple to support the Spirit Day.

As a company committed to inclusion for all, we celebrate this victory with our LGBT colleagues and our guests.
The joy we feel as a result of this ruling is because Hyatt has been supporting our LGBT colleagues, guests and the larger community for years. We were the first hospitality company to offer same-sex benefits to domestic partners, we've received a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign for the past 11 years, and we are passionate about the need for our colleagues to bring their whole self to work. We believe that it is our diversity that makes us great.

About Me Stay At Home Parent
This is a really fun toy. My 8 year old received it as a Christmas gift. He is into telling jokes, so it is fun for him to hit the joke/riddle button or to tell one himself. He also received a joke book for Christmas so he can read the jokes into the microphone straight from his book. The microphone works very well. It is clear and loud...but not obnoxiously loud.

Made my son feel like a TV celebrity!
By Kamal
from Chicago
An unusual toy, loads of fun as it comes loaded with riddles, some are easy some not so much but the side commentary and the faces the kids make as you go along, adds to the versatility of this toy! The microphone is sturdy, easy to hold, with buttons that can help choose a category (jokes or riddles), there is always a repeat button should they miss it the first time around. Great from train journeys, sleep overs and group fun. Makes the kid feel like a TV host, with the music and all the frills that go with it. There are plenty of jokes, once you have had a few dozen runs though, they can get boring - especially wit the riddles for once you know the answers, you know them for good! Having said that, if your kid likes pretend play then being a TV show quizzer is a pretty awesome option thanks to this toy! We had some of my son's friends over and ended up adding time to the mix, whoever answered first got the microphone next. Great fun!

the first hill, we looked back at the sun rising over the medieval city
of Le Puy en Velay and were filled with awe--not only at the beauty of
the vista, but at the magnitude of our undertaking. In an attempt to recreate
the medieval pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, we were embarking on
a journey that would be longer and more arduous than anything we had ever
experienced. As pilgrims, we would traverse a varied physical and emotional
landscape--from mountains to desert flatlands, from torrential rain to
scorching heat, from hope and joy to exhaustion, pain and occasionally
despair. Sixty-seven days and a thousand miles later, as we climbed Monte
del Gozo and were greeted with our first glimpse of Santiago de Compostela,
we would hit another emotional peak. Connecting these two events, these
two locations, was the medieval pilgrimage road itself--a path that we
walked in space and time.

Xactly. How does being super duper busy constantly creating videos relate to "becoming the best drummer you can be"? (Which, in my book, would rather relate to _physically_ working on becoming a better drummer/musician, not spitting out YouTube videos.) Out of those 16 hours per day, how many hours are actually spent on "becoming the best drummer you can be"? How much is lighting, video shooting, editing, all that periphery stuff? Are you practicing 16 hours or working 16 hours on your brand?
What I forgot to mention in my previous post when I said I don't care for copycats is that the drummers who 'made it' are getting gigs/engagements/recording projects because they have some uniqueness - _if_ people want that. So a Steve Gadd is supposed to bring some element of Gadd into whatever project he's involved. What could you bring into a project? Did you actually have enough time to develop something that could be labeled a style of your own or at least some traces of uniqueness? Serial production vs. individualism.

Odeon Byker
308 Shields Road,
Newcastle upon Tyne,
1 person favorited this theater
Located in the Byker district of Newcastle upon Tyne. The Regal Cinema was built for George Black and became one of the Black's Regal chain of cinemas, and opened on 3rd September 1934 with William Powell and Bette Davis in "Fashions of 1934" plus a stage show.
Designed by Newcastle architect Edwin M. Lawson in an Art Deco style, building was located on a corner site, and was domindated by a tall square tower. Seating in the auditorium was provided for 1,152 in the stalls and 525 in the circle. The cinema was equipped with a Compton 3Manual/6Ranks organ which was opened by organist J. Arnold Eagle.
The Regal Cinema was taken over by Circuit Management Association(CMA) later the Rank Organisation and re-named Odeon on 14th November 1955. The Compton organ was removed from the building in 1969, and was shipped to the Spanish island of Majorca. The Odeon was closed on 11th November 1972 with Robert Redford in "How To Steal a Diamond"(aka"The Hot Rock").
The building stood empty and unused for many years, as a bingo club licence was applied for, and refused. In 1982, it was gutted internally and converted into a supermarket, known as the Byker Superstore. This was a short lived venture, and it was closed and the building was demolished in early-1987. A Shell petrol station was built on the site.

My Mother worked here for many years during the late 60's and early 70's. I spent many hours with her there, sitting next to her in the ticket boot, refreshments kiosk and helping to 'take tickets' and count the ice creams in the 'fridge room' even though I was only a child!
Needless to say I had great fun there and got to know the staff at the time and got to see all the latest releases. I remember the liner style deco interior and a glass observation screen up on the circle level at the top of a sweeping staircase.
The photo here from Mr Roe shows 'The Jungle Book' this is exactly the time that I'm describing and I was lucky enough to be given the cut out figures of the characters at the time – another great treat for a small child of the times.
My mother worked at this cinema as a cashier in the late 40's, much later when we moved to Whitley Bay in the early 50's I think I must have been 7 maybe 8 we had a neighbour who used to be the organist there and I can remember one morning with my newly acquired tape recorder going with him and sitting in the front of the circle recording while he played. I was also shown the organ chambers, amazing!

Thank you very much, John. This conference is impressive, and it's filling an important need. And certainly we congratulate you and thank you for your foresight and your leadership.
Ministers, distinguished officials -- military and civilian.
It is certainly a pleasure for me to be back in this vibrant and historic city. I want to thank the government and the people of Singapore for their very gracious hospitality and the excellent dinner last evening. I commend Prime Minister Lee for his thoughtful remarks. Certainly they provided an excellent foundation for the discussions that we'll be having in the days ahead.
Singapore's emergence as a key contributor to security in the region is both significant and welcome. The Strategic Framework Agreement signed last summer between our two nations is increasing the depth and the texture of our partnership.
I want to express my deepest sympathies for the people of the United States to Minister Sudarsono and the people of Indonesia in the wake of the earthquake last week. At President Bush's direction, the U.S. Pacific Command under Admiral Fallon is working with other nations to support the Indonesian government in its efforts to bring relief to the survivors and the injured.
Since the inaugural session in 2002, this Shangri-La conference has become the premier forum for exchanging views on security and progress in the Asia-Pacific region.
One of the reasons that the Shangri-La Dialogue has been so successful is because it strives to be inclusive. I believe John said that we have representatives here from more than 20 nations today -- including nations that over the years have at times been adversaries. These gatherings are an important reminder of just how far many nations have come, not only in economic and political development, but in achieving a good measure of reconciliation after the conflicts of the past century.
Today we face a situation in the Pacific, and indeed globally, where, paradoxically, more nations are freer then ever before, yet freedom is increasingly under assault -- by the designs of violent extremists and rogue regimes.
In the present security environment, cooperation among free nations is not simply desirable, it's critical. It's instructive, it seems to me, to reflect on some of the historic shifts in this area -- in America's approach to long-standing allies, as well as new multinational partnerships -- and to consider some of the challenges that we'll be facing in the period ahead.
First, it's useful to note that in the past five years, in terms of defense and security cooperation, the United States has done more things, with more nations, in more constructive ways, than at any time in our history. Many of our partnerships date back to the early years of the Cold War, some as far back as World War II. These relationships have been updated and modernized in recent years, in keeping with the new circumstances of the 21st Century. And other relationships barely existed, if at all, merely a few years ago, yet are growing in importance today. Consider our ties with:
One indication of how far things have progressed with Pakistan, in a relatively short period of time, is that just over a month ago a Pakistani admiral took command of a combined naval task force that has included ships from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Spain, Canada, Italy, Turkey, and Portugal. The task force patrols the waterways of the Middle East from the Gulf of Oman to the Southern Border of Kenya in the Indian Ocean, as part of a campaign against piracy and terrorism.
This joint training and security cooperation has proven increasingly valuable and indeed necessary in recent years.
Consider that one of the reasons the United States and Thailand were able to respond so quickly, and work together so seamlessly, after the catastrophic Tsunami, was that we have had upwards of two decades of joint training and collaboration at the annual Cobra Gold exercises. These exercises have expanded to include several other Asian nations, with a new focus on peacekeeping and on humanitarian disaster response -- a focus that has been validated by more recent events in this part of the world.
The breadth and depth of these activities reflect an important and constructive trend: for much of my adult lifetime, security and stability in the Pacific was maintained essentially by a network of bilateral defense relationships between the United States and our allies and partners. This was notably unlike the situation in Europe, where we had a relatively large and more formal alliance – NATO -- the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But now we see an expanding network of security cooperation in this region, both bilaterally between nations and multilaterally among nations -- with the United States as a partner. We see this as a welcome shift.
We see this at work in the Straits of Malacca, where Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia are coordinating patrols to combat the ancient scourge of piracy on the high seas.
This type of maritime security cooperation is critical to the success of the Proliferation Security Initiative -- put forward by President Bush, an initiative that now has the support of more than 70 nations, in its efforts to try to stop dangerous weapons and material from being transported to or from terrorists and rogue regimes.
Inclusive, multinational institutions and activities such as this conference, as well as the ASEAN Regional Forum, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), are leading the way. Of course, these institutions are not formal military alliances, like NATO, or treaties, like the World Trade Organization, that have binding commitments. But they do provide arenas for dialogue where diverse nations, with shared interests, can engage each other in different and flexible ways and fashion constructive approaches to common problems.
The United States, for our part, has also looked to modernize our traditional alliances and relationships.
Consider that South Korea is no longer the devastated, impoverished nation it was at the end of the Korean War. It has a large, capable military. It is properly seeking greater responsibility for its own defense. So while we have upgraded our overall deterrent capabilities on the Korean Peninsula and in North Asia generally, we are able to reduce and adjust the U.S. military footprint in South Korea.
So too our relationship with Japan. A month ago, Secretary Rice and I met with our counterparts -- Minister Nukaga is here today -- to sign an historic agreement representing probably the most significant realignment of U.S. forces there in many decades.
The changes that have taken place in Japan, just within the span of my lifetime, have been truly remarkable.
At the end of World War II -- when most of Europe and much of Asia lay in ruins -- no one really could have imagined what course the world would take in the following 60 years. So, too, today. It's difficult to imagine what the world might look like in even 20 or 30 or 40 years from now, and what types of challenges we may face.
We do know that what Asia will look like 50 years from now will depend importantly on the choices that are made by the countries represented in this room. And we do have choices.
The emergence of Japan, South Korea, and Australia as important players in global, as well as regional security, has been one of the welcome international developments of recent years, and the extent of their contributions in the years to come can have a significant impact on the stability and prosperity of the Pacific in future decades.
Consider as well the growing threat of ballistic missiles in the hands of rogue regimes, by which some nations seek to intimidate neighbors. The U.S. and Japan are working closely together to field a missile defense system to ensure that this kind of blackmail will not succeed.
The way ahead for other nations will be something that our country will watch closely. Consider Russia -- a nation with vast natural resources, an educated people, and a rich heritage of scientific and cultural achievements. Like our people, they are threatened by violent extremists. They are a partner in some security issues, and, on the whole our relationship is better than it has been in decades. But in other ways Russia has been less helpful -- as when they seek to constrain the independence and freedom of action of some of their neighboring countries.
And consider China, also represented here at this conference. The Chinese people are of course educated, talented, and live in a nation with great potential. China has a strong economic growth rate today and an industrious workforce. But there are aspects of China's actions that can complicate their relationships with other nations. As we discussed last year, a lack of transparency with respect to their military investments understandably causes concerns for some of their neighbors.
Consider North Korea. The future of the Pacific Rim will depend also on the path North Korea takes. Will it continue to starve and repress its people, threaten its neighbors, and pursue nuclear weapons? Or will it, at some point, do what other nations have done, such as Libya, have done and choose a path which leads back to membership in the community of nations?
With regard to violent extremists in the region, our friends and partners face a complicated set of challenges: whether to openly combat the messages of hate, intolerance, and incitement -- that can in some cases gain traction -- or to try to placate and accommodate those whose vision of the future means that it is acceptable, even desirable to kill innocent men, women, and children if they don't agree. Only by opposing the small minority of violent extremists at every level will free people be successful.
And of course, in addition to the choices made by other countries, there are the choices to be made by the United States. From time to time, in past decades, some of the people in the United States have questioned whether America should be engaged in the world. We've had strains of isolationism in our country which we are all aware of.
But the United States is, and always will be, a Pacific nation. We must, and we will, lean forward and stay fully engaged in this part of the world.
When you think about it, the transformation of much of the Asia Pacific region within the span of my professional life this past half-Century -- from war to reconstruction to reconciliation, from poverty to prosperity and growth, from dictatorships to representative political systems -- it has been nothing short of remarkable.
And by continuing to work together in constructive ways, while mindful and respectful of different perspectives and the different histories and the different interests and the different circumstances of each country, we can ensure that the coming decades in this Hemisphere it will be freer, more peaceful, and more prosperous for all of our citizens, and indeed for generations to come.
I thank you very much and would be happy to respond to some questions.

Holly Day Wins Writing Prizes
Spring 2011 Parker Personal Essay Prize in the Department of English Writing Contest and the Joynes Literary Prize which recognizes an outstanding Plan II thesis relating to the field of literature.
Posted: May 6, 2011
Holly Day is a Plan II senior, preparing to graduate and start her first year of medical school at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. During her time at UT, she has volunteered with People's Community Clinic and the Austin State Hospital, and served as the president of the Plan II Pre-Medical Society. Her plans for the summer include sleeping, biking, and making a wedding cake.
Holly submitted a 15 page exerpt from her Plan II Honors thesis to the essay contest.
Crying at Dachau and Tuol Sleng—Two Memorials, Two Reactions.
"This thesis was inspired by my collected experiences as a sixteen-year-old, during my family's nine-month trip around the world. I've written four main essays, researching several of the places we visited, and further investigating my responses to each part of our journey. The first essay gives a portrait of my family during our trip—how our relationships with each other influenced our travels, and how our travels influenced those relationships. The second discusses my interactions, as a poorly-informed tourist, with two historical monuments, and considers how my experiences might have changed if I had been more aware of the history behind those sites. The third explores the differences in my reactions to two genocide memorials, Dachau and Tuol Sleng, and the fourth deals with our experiences as bicycle tourists. Though the phenomena discussed in each piece vary, the essays are unified and driven by their common exploration of what my responses to our travels meant about the person I was then, and the person I am now."

An insidious trend has emerged over the last several election cycles, whereby the Republican Party, faced with looming demographic Armageddon, has found ever more creative ways to kneecap the opposing team. In shorthand: The game is that if you can't convince people to vote for you, then reduce the number of people who are eligible to vote against you.
Gov. Rick Scott has waded into that territory with his gambit to rid the state's voter rolls of phantom, foreign voters. This, despite the lack of any evidence that noncitizens have been storming the voting booths. (Foreign money, meanwhile, still has a pathway into our elections, thanks to Citizens United and the potential for multinationals to purchase the candidates of their liking.)
Scott's purge is of a piece with other GOP drives to make it harder for the kinds of people who tend to support Democrats: union members, young voters, people with Hispanic (or for that matter, Haitian) surnames, to cast a ballot. And whether it's voter ID laws, snuffing out "souls to the polls" on Sunday; firing U.S. attorneys who wouldn't go along with trumped-up voter fraud probes, as happened during the George W. Bush years; or harassing would-be balloters by comparing their names to lists of felons (thanks, Jeb!) or lists of supposed foreigners, the goal is the same. It's about combating the coming doom that awaits a political party increasingly dependent on a diminishing commodity: older, white voters. They, along with corporate bosses and highly religious white working-class men and their wives, form the three-legged stool upholding the GOP.

UPDATE: TPM reports the Justice Department has ordered a halt to Scott's voter purge. (Original report here.)

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The University of New Mexico men's tennis team upset No. 57 Denver 4-3 on Saturday afternoon at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex. The Lobos are now 1-3 against ranked opponents this season.
From the minute doubles play began up until Samir Iftikhar closed out the match for UNM, the boards were just about even between the two opponents.
The Lobos took the first point of the match after claiming doubles wins at the No. 1 and 3 positions. No. 2 doubles team Hayden Sabatka and Andy Van Der Vyver were in the midst of a tightly-contested tiebreaker before their match was declared unfinished.
"We had a very solid doubles performance today and it proved to be vital," Iftikhar said. "In singles, a few of the guys had to fight back from losing positions, but we were able to pull off the victory."
UNM began singles action with a set of strong wins. Sabatka and James Hignett both tallied early victories to give the Lobos a 3-0 edge. Sabtaka now leads the Lobos in singles with an impressive 14-2 season record.
Van Der Vyver and Mitchell McDaniels both came up short in their matches allowing the Pioneers to make a quick run and set the score at 3-2.
The match was too close for comfort as Iftikhar and Rodolfo Jauregui battled in their singles matches.
Iftikhar was squaring off against a familiar opponent in the No. 1 position. Earlier in the year, DU's Henry Craig knocked Iftikhar out of the final match of the ITA Mountain Regionals which may have allowed for some uneasy tension on the court.
Saturday's match was Iftikhar's opportunity to deal with the unfinished business between him and the DU sophomore. Iftikhar claimed the first set with a 6-3 victory, but struggled in the second set, falling 7-5. Fortunately, Iftikhar was able to remain strong and overcame Craig in the third set to clinch the match deciding point for UNM.
"Losing to Henry in the final match of Regionals was a pretty crushing loss, so it was definitely a great feeling to get a little personal revenge," Iftikhar said. "But, the main thing is that our team won the match. Hopefully we can carry that momentum through into next weekend when we play BYU and TTU."
Jauregui lost in a three-set match against Diogo Rocho.
The Lobos finish the weekend with a 1-0 record, moving them to 13-4 on the season.
UNM has a tough schedule ahead of them as they host Brigham Young and No. 39 Texas Tech next weekend at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex.
Result: UNM def. No. 57 Denver, 4-3
Doubles Results:
1) Hignett/Iftikhar (UNM) def. Craig/Rocha (DU), 8-5
2) Sabatka/Van Der Vyver (UNM) & Gasson/James (DU) – UNFINISHED

Order of Finish: (1, 3, 2)
Singles Results:
1) Iftikhar (UNM) def. Craig (DU), 6-3, 5-7, 6-3
2) Sabatka (UNM) def. Gasson (DU), 7-6, 7-6
3) Rocha (DU) def. Jauregui (UNM), 6-2, 6-7, 5-2, Ret.
4) Clinkenboard (DU) def. Van Der Vyver (UNM), 6-4, 7-6, 6-2
5) Hignett (UNM) def. James (DU), 2-6, 7-5, 6-2
6) Talcott (DU) def. McDaniels (UNM), 7-6, 6-4
Order of Finish: (2, 5, 6, 4, 1, 3)

Affirmation of Welcome
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away… All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5: 17-18
We, Christian people worshipping at Weber Chapel, want to make a statement about how the grace of our Lord is non-exclusive and that everyone is welcome here.
We believe that Christ calls us to reconciliation and wholeness in a world of alienation and brokenness. As disciples of Christ seeking justice and reconciliation between peoples, we at Weber Chapel welcome, without exception, all people regardless of sex, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical-mental ability or disability, religious affiliation, age or station in life. We recognize that each is a unique creation of God and by the grace of God is called "Child of God."
All are welcome at Weber Chapel: to worship God, receive the sacraments and share in fellowship and service. All members of this worshipping community commit themselves to exercise their faith, treasuring one another's similarities and accepting their differences in the spirit of love and good will as we continue to discover what it means to be "Reconciling in Christ."
Affirmation originally adopted in 2002; amended in 2012

Hello. My name is Tofu and I am one of Edamame Rose's babies born January 15, 2007 at the San Jose shelter.
I am a cute little guy who is on the shy and quiet side. I was always one of the less flashy kids and like to think of myself as a thoughtful and gentle kind of guy.
I'm told that many people don't like white rabbits, which I really hope isn't the case, because I have so much to offer the right home. I am loving, sweet, good with my litter box and just a nice little guy.
I used to be listed as a special needs rabbit for a minor reason. My tear ducts are kind of small (I was born that way) and so my eyes are always a bit "weepy." It's not really a bit deal, but the fur around my eyes is usually a bit wet. If I had a bunny friend to groom me, you'd probably never notice.
I have been treated by a veterinarian and given a clean bill of health. Please don't pass up adopting me because I was born a bit special. If people would see my inner beauty and just love me for me, then I am sure I would be adopted quickly.
Please visit me soon!
Here's your chance to outfit and design your bunny's home as tastefully as yours! Everyone knows that bunnies love to "redecorate" their homes. Now you can mix and match these hand-beaded, one-of-a kind water bottle holders to match your home and the energy of the day.


text: Here you see the newest and latest in the line of canine…this is the dog of the future people. Marty McFly would be proud to own this old chap. He's perfect for taking on walks (flys?) on the beach…and you never have to worry about him tracking mud in the house. Now if only we could perfect those darned hover boards we'd be set! Speaking of the future, we hope this comes to a reality.

To coincide with Anti-Bullying Week 2012 (19-23 November) our co-founder Sir Ian McKellen very kindly gave his time to narrate a video about homophobic bullying. In this video Ian outlines some of the distressing statistics from our research.
Ian McKellen said: 'Nothing in life is more important to me than helping gay young people realise that there are better days ahead of them. I'm proud that Stonewall - which I helped create to tackle legalised homophobia - is now leading the fight in those British schools where homophobic bullying ruins far too many young people's lives. It's a privilege to play a small part in bringing it to an end.'
Many thanks to Ian, the young people who took part in interviews, and Lillian Baylis Technology School for kindly allowing us to film in their classrooms. Please do share this video - we hope it helps make a big difference.

Lizzie Oosterbaan grabs a singles victory in Xavier's loss to Toledo.
March 15, 2014
CINCINNATI- Women's tennis dropped their first match of two this weekend to a highly competitive Toledo team, 4-3. This is the first lost in 10 matches for the Musketeers, ending their win streak that began on Feb. 1.
The match was very competitive for both teams. In singles, Xavier grabbed the first point with Sydney Liggins defeating Katelyn Nguyen, 6-2, 6-2. Toledo was then able to grab the next two singles points. Chrissy Coffman beat Alex Brinker, 6-4, 6-3, and Lexy Pitt beat Andrea Wolf, 6-4, 7-6 (4).
Cristina Di Lorenzo was able to grab another point for Xavier with her hotly contested win over Pia Rygh, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3), while Lizzie Oosterbaan defeated Mackenzie Bowman, 6-4, 6-4.
Daniella Patton was not able to secure the last singles point for Xavier. She dropped her match to Emily Mazzola, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Toledo's doubles was able to grab the first two matches quickly leaving the third to a did not finish status. Lauren Thai and Bowman took the match from Allyson Westling and Wolf, 8-4, while Pitt and Mazolla did the same to Brinker and Liggins, 8-5.
"We started the doubles and singles well," states assistant coach Doug Matthews. "Toledo responded from behind and outplayed us when it counted. We're competing great, just need to play a little better in big moments tomorrow against Ball State."
Xavier is back in action Saturday, Mar. 15 on the road against Ball State at 1 p.m.

selected tab border
I'm using the tab component with the following code. As you can see, I have a bordered div under the tab. In doing this, the "selected" tab also has the border under it. Is there any way, I can take the border away from the selected tab?
You might say that I can't control it with the tab component because the border is actually a style of the div under the tab component but the reaon I ask is because when I click on a tab, it actually makes the border under that tab go away. If this question doesn't make sense, please let me know because I would really appreciate an answer to this. Thank you very much.

Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about? And, can they offer any suggestions? I know there is a CSS style I can use, I just can't figure out which one... Thank in advance.

If I just knew what style the tab went to when it was clicked, and I could default the selected tab to that style... could anybody show me what to do please?

That is probably not repairable without a Nand backup... to be certain you would need to open the Wii and check the date code on the larger of the 2 chips under the heatsink.
Best to contact me via PM
Big Thanks to Bad_Ad84 for fixing my Wii.
If you think I helped you please click the little thanks button
Send me a PM if you have any questions regarding unbricking with infectus mod chip or post a message in here http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-...installed.html
After messing my ios70, I had black screen, period. So I tried everything, nothing worked. Sent the motherboard to erikie, he got it re-flased. Wii back online. Another happy ending.
no, your wii is broken for good if you messed up ios70 and dont have a nand backup.
If only there was a hack that prevented the system menu IOS from being deleted...
I don't know where people get these ideas.

Increasing Cash Management Referral Quality
Clarity Role: For a major regional bank, we developed "sales–oriented" product knowledge training (different from "product–focused" product training) for high priority products.
Outcome: Reduced time required for newly hired sales team members to identify opportunities. The quality of referrals tracked by cash management team members increased according to criteria Clarity helped them develop.
Improving Sales Skills for Treasury Management Sales Officers
Situation: The senior sales leader of a major regional bank's cash management sales force noticed that his "sales representatives" were little more than technical implementation experts, focused on order fulfillment rather than sales.
When they accompanied relationship managers on calls, their questions focused on "product qualification" and "fulfillment." They frequently did not understand a customer's strategy, business priorities, and cash cycle.
Corporate banking relationship managers complained about their low sales prowess, saying they were frequently embarrassed by their behavior.
Project Focus and Clarity Role: Clarity developed narrative examples of desired sales strategies and approaches, then led training through which the bank communicated the new expectations and assisted the cash management sales team members to learn and practice new sales calling skills.
Outcome: Corporate banking relationship manager complaints about the cash management sales team members dropped noticeably shortly after the training. Over a period of time, their partnerships improved and the bank documented improved cash management sales performance.

Music University/College?

Re: Music University/College?
Also consider the difference between a conservatory and a university with an arts and science music department/program. My friend at Berkley is taking WAY more music classes than I am, but since my degree is a Bachelors in the Arts of music (at TU) - i get the advantage of getting a well-rounded education of a liberal arts university including classes in chemistry, political science, gender studies, english, philosophy, etc.
That dosen't mean I didn't have to take music theory I - IV, ear training I - IV, music History I, II and III - film scoring, audio engineering, and ensembles up the wazzoo.
Speaking of ensembles - I think at a conservatory you will be exposed to a wider range of music like jazz, funk, fusion, avant-garde, improv, rock - where as at a university you will have more ensembles like Marching Band, wind ensemble, symphonic wind ensemble, orchestra, vocal chamber, jazz big band, jazz combo, jazz vocal trio, etc.
This is just going off comparing myself to my buddy at Berkley in boston - both schools have their pros and cons!!

Transports long overdueWritten by Autumn Lee | | email@example.com
Over a decade ago, Toledo City Council approved the city's move into BLS transport. Cities like Philadelphia, Columbus and many others have showed that the move is a worthwhile venture for the citizens as well as the cities.
Fire department personnel respond to all EMS calls in the city. If the 911 call indicates that Advanced Life Support may be necessary a county life squad is simultaneously dispatched. If the run is downgraded by the responding crew, the life squad may be cancelled and private transport initiated. A delay in care is already part of the system. Fire crews are also delayed in leaving the scene and therefore unable to respond to other incidents. This delay could mean life or death for a victim of a structure fire or other serious incident.
When Sylvania had their transport in service, scene times for fire crews were reduced to around seven minutes. That's service to the citizens, both at the EMS run and the following incident.
If the call is initially deemed a "basic" run, fire crews assess the patient and then contact Lucas County EMS for a private ambulance. If the fire crew finds the incident to be more serious than initially thought, the run is upgraded and a life squad is dispatched.
Most Toledo fire crews have at least one paramedic to aid in assessing the patient's condition. The idea that one in five basic patients are either poorly assessed or their condition deteriorates to an ALS situation is ludicrous. I have worked on the streets of Toledo for over ten years. I have personally reported private ambulance crews to our EMS bureau for unduly upgrading patients to an ALS status and subsequently skyrocketing their bill. Check the local court records to see which private company was sued for charging well over $1,000 for a ride to the hospital.
I have always had a good working relationship with many private ambulance personnel. Most are hard-working and diligent at what they do. Some are paramedics and some are basic EMTs. The private ambulance service paramedics passed the same rigorous curriculum that I and other municipal employees from Toledo, Sylvania, Maumee, Springfield, Oregon and Whitehouse were required to study. They are on their own, however, to get experience at ALS patient care.
The ALS runs are given to the county life squads. In the event all Life Squads are unavailable, a private ambulance with two paramedics may be dispatched simultaneously in lieu of a life squad. By virtue of the present system, these good people have not been exposed to nearly the amount of ALS experience as those who have had the privilege of serving the citizens on a life squad.
I have only one personal experience of receiving a private crew on a cardiace arrest. With CPR in progress and two paramedics already in the room, the private crew strolled in the front door without any ALS equipment. Seeing the scene they began to fumble with what to do next. After watching them miss establishing a critical airway and chalked it off to difficult anatomical structures in the patient, I grabbed the equipment myself and intubated the patient in about ten seconds.
"People are going to die" at the hands of Toledo Fire at an undue pace? Please, give me break.
Change is always opposed — even good change. I am confident that this concept is best for the city and all it citizens.
TOM PHILLIPS, Firefighter/paramedic, Toledo

What is stool color?
Stool is naturally brown due to the digestion of bile salts produced by the liver and blood pigments such as bilirubin. Dietary supplements including iron, medications, and some foods, such as blueberries, beets, or black licorice, can darken the stool or even turn it black. Dark stool, when not associated with diet, supplements or medications, can be a worrisome symptom, as it can be due to bleeding in the digestive tract.
The color of bloody stool depends on the site of the bleeding and how quickly food moves through the digestive system. Blood from the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine may have time to be digested, resulting in dark, tarry stool. Red blood in the stool frequently comes from the lower portion of the digestive tract, specifically the colon or anus. However, bleeding from a higher portion of the digestive tract can speed digestive transit, also leading to red stool. Red striping of the stool is often related to bleeding of the rectum or anus and may be seen in stool of people who have hemorrhoids (inflamed veins in lower rectum or anus).
Pale stool can occur if bile salt production is reduced or its transport is blocked due to serious liver infections or a bile duct obstruction that is caused by stones, scarring, abnormal development, or external compression. Liver disease and bile duct obstruction can also cause jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes that may be accompanied by itching.
Changes in stool color can be related to diet, supplements or medications; however, stool that is persistently dark or light can be an indication of a serious medical problem. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) for bloody stool, which may be red or black or tarry in consistency, and may be accompanied by severe pain, profuse sweating, alterations in level of consciousness, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), vomiting blood, or chest pain.
If your stool color changes are persistent or cause you concern, seek prompt medical care.
What other symptoms might occur with stool color?
Changes in stool color are generally related to the digestive tract, whether caused by food, supplements or medications, or due to something more serious such as digestive tract bleeding, liver problems, or obstruction of the bile ducts.
Digestive symptoms that may occur along with stool color changesStool color changes may accompany other symptoms affecting the digest... Read more about stool colorsymptoms
What causes stool color?
Stool color is due to digestion of bile salts produced in the liver and can be influenced by diet, medications or supplements. Bleeding in the digestive tract can cause red, dark or black stool. Liver problems and conditions causing obstruction of the bile ducts can cause pale stools.

It's all about "speakeasy chic" at this sister lounge to the equally imaginative and classy nearby bars Mayahuel and Bourgeois Pig. A hilarious wall mural toward the rear sets the tone for the tongue-and-cheek satanic vibe here, but in the end, it's all about the outlandishly delicious cocktails and accompanying bar bites.

My Five: Biggest Ryder Cup Goats
Golf Digest Senior Writer Jaime Diaz's personal ranking of the biggest Ryder Cup goats
Editor's Note: After bogeying his final two holes in his Sunday singles match at Medinah, Jim Furyk is just one member of the 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup team to deserve consideration on this dubious list. Here are the five players who preceded him.
0-3 record at Oak Hill, 1995 (Europe wins 14 � to 13 �)
2. Curtis Strange
A controversial captain's pick by Lanny Wadkins, Strange faced Nick Faldo in the singles in the eighth match of the match of the day. Strange was 1 up on the 16th tee, but bogeyed the next two. With the match even on difficult par 4 18th, Faldo drove poorly and was forced to lay up. Strange had a 3-iron second from the fairway, but mishit it, leaving it short in greenside rough. Faldo then hit a superb pitch from 90 yards to within four feet. Strange chipped to eight feet, but with the Americans only needing a half in the match to retain the cup, missed his putt. Faldo then holed the backbreaker.

Ruth Andre
And while blogging can exacerbate all of that, there are moments when it's beautifully small. When I receive certain comments or e-mails and I find myself believing things that were only the smallest hopes tucked away in a corner of my mind.
I'm both wary of and hungry for the power of readers in this respect... to leave me feeling fully understood or, sometimes, fully alienated. I try to protect myself from it. But it's also the nature and sometimes the beauty of what we do on blogs; connecting suddenly and profoundly to people unknown to us.
Ruth Andre e-mailed me after I published this post. The image was one I had instagrammed in Ireland. I remember wanting to fall into the sea as I stood there; one of those moments when I was unnerved by my lack of fear, by my own craving to swallowed whole by the sea.
I hadn't said any of this, but Ruth saw something in that little photograph too and was inspired to paint it as part of her "painting a day" project. And then she e-mailed me and offered to make me a gift of the painting. I cried when I read her e-mail and saw the painting she had made.
Her painting arrived last week and I feel very privileged to have it. Thank you, Ruth.

Such a nice response to your post, and a nice gift. It is impossible for you to hear all of us nodding as we read your posts and we don't comment. I wonder what the proportion is: the number of visitors and comments?ReplyDelete

It is usually less than 1 in 500 who comment... though, of course, some posts are more comment-receiving than others.Delete
How beautiful! These connections we make through blogging are real and can be wonderful. You are right that we need to protect ourselves at times, but overall it seems worth it, especially when I see something as lovely as this.ReplyDelete
Oh Jane, Thank-you for such a lovely post. It pleases me greatly to know you are enjoying the painting.ReplyDeleteReplies

Hello JaneReplyDelete
How kind of Ruth Andre to present you with such a beautiful painting that has so much meaning to you. The brush strokes and tones all work beautifully in this small painting, which I know you are treasuring.
It took two hearts full of passion to create this masterpiece, your photograph and the intense love of the subject and Ruth's perception of this great love.
Another beautiful day

How beautiful.ReplyDelete
More words than that feel unnecessary.
I've been thinking lately about why I do this blogging thing too but like you, the connections to real people make it all worthwhile. It can be SUCH a ratrace - the creating original content, the promoting of it, the tracking of it, etc. But stories like this - when someone obviously connected deeply with your photo - how lovely.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Sandra - I've pretty much opted out of the rat-race re blogging - it mostly seems to entail selling out to the lowest common denominator.Delete
I'm mostly grateful for readers like you and Ruth and the people who comment here who connect with me through words and stories and the odd picture too. Thanks!

What a lovely, honest post. I enjoy your blog so much, I think because you are so consistently, unflinchingly honest. I can imagine all the complicated, sometimes very painful experiences of blogging. Please, please, stick to it! I am a busy, busy mom/daughter of aging mom/corporate lawyer, and your blog is such a lovely place for me to be sometimes!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you - I'm very glad you find this a nice place to be!!Delete
What an amazing thing to do.ReplyDelete
It's incredible she was so touched by your powerful photo that she was compelled to paint it, and to give her creation to you,the original creator.
Does that make sense?
You are clearly far from the rat race blogger.
You are a standard bearer.
