iphone 5 charger not certified
But my charger is genuine and my iPhone model is 5 16GB
Help me to fix this!
Dear fellows,
I brought one IPhone 5S 32gb Silver just few days ago.
All works fine and is a great phone, just amazing, you can do anything with it. (if you have internet and a credit card it would help).
But yesterday I had a problem, the phone had only 10% battery, I connect the original lightning cable and the phone do not charge and said the mensage This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably, the battery goes 8% 7% ... 1% and the phone just shutdown.
Then I could charge and the phone turns on again with 4% but since than I can not charge anymore and it turn off again.
I tried other cable from my girlfriend and it charge normally until 100% with no problem.
I tried to restore, made reset and factory defauts, but nothing worked, my original cable do not work.
I think this happen because I bought one kit of SBS with a silicon housing, a car charger and a pen.
I used the original cable with the car charger and it said that the accessory is not certified. And I do not connect it more and used only the original Hall charger since that.
But now it do not work with the original cable and charger. Do not charge and do not connect to Itunes.
Someone have also this problem and find an solution?
Thanks in Advance,
What is happening here?
I keep getting this stupid message even when no charger is plugged in!
Im using the official charger that came with the iphone 5s box. I have other lightning connectors and thought maybe switching them would fix it but it hasnt.
Is there something wrong with my 5s? Do I need to clean the port on the bottom of the phone? Ive only had the 5s for about a week. I am using official apple chargers.
This started happening after my batter drained and I put the phone on charge. Is it a software bug?
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. The message ONLY appears when it is not on charge. Which is studpily weird.

Hi everyone..I purchased an secondhand Iphone 3GS a couple of years ago for my wife and there havent been any problems until recently. It maybe a coincidence but seemed to happen when we downloaded the new IOS several months ago. The phone with still show the battery is at 70 per cent but suddenly it turns itself off. We are not able to turn it back on until we plug in the charger. I thought it may have something to do with the CALENDAR BUG so I downloaded the fix from ITUNES last night but it didnt help. I have tried replacing the battery but no luck. Even bought another 2nd hand Iphone 3GS and did the back up for the phone and put sim card in new phone but still have same problem. We are older people and our IT knowledge is very limited and therefore we are looking for help from anyone with the same experience. Ready to throw the phone away ! I also have an Iphone 3GS and I even put my wifes sim card in my phone but didnt seem to have any problems but I didnt download any of her files onto my phone just put in her sims card
Dear community Happy New Year .listen I have a Apple Iphone 4s:I have had this as a gift since may 2012.Its good,but my daughter and about 10 other people I know are having problems with their wall chargers in home and maybe even mobile im not sure.I especially take great care in disconnecting my device and removing the cord when not in use. the wear and tear cannot be that often to cause this damage we are all having !The cord on the charger is unravelling from the base where the apple iphone is attached when or while charging. I have use the cord in very bad conditions because #one I cannot afford to replace this item at the OFFICIAL APPLE STORE so Im guessing people like myself is going to discount stores to make purchase of chargers they most likely not work! I have tried 3 and none work spending anywhere from $8.00-$15.00 dollars. Im also concern about the fact that a lot of CHILDREN who must most likely go un supervised on using this unravelled IPHONE CHARGER CORD when their parents maynot be aware. I not the voltage may not be of that large in which someone could cause shock or harm Im not certain of this either, However theres always a first Im asking can you either number one recall these chargers via Apple Corportation or two these cell phone companies who sell your product make them accountable for this .I learned today through Apple that the cell phone companies that sell Apple product use 3rd parties material to produce these mobile and home wall chargers and that they are not made by APPLE CORPORATION I WAS VERY UPSET TO KNOW THIS !I am asking you APPLE to look into this very important concern that not just me but other consumers may have before their is an injury. also if you sell a $500.00 product thats MADE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY CERTAINLY YOU CAN INCLUDE A GENIUNE CHARGER WITH YOUR APPLE PRODUCT WHEN SOLD IN CELL PHONE COMPANIES STORES AND STRIP MALLS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND SURELY PEOPLE ARENT AWARE THAT THE REAL PRODUCT IS ONLY AT THE APPLE STORE EVEN IF THIS IS TRUE ! ps I called the apple store today to get a replacement they wanted to charge me would only offer me a $1.25 cent discount ! IST THIS WHAT APPLE PAY TO HAVE OTHER COUNTRIES MAKE THE IPHONE? THANKS APPLE FOR HEARING MY
CONCERNS....email@example.com or email@example.com

I may be buying an Italian iPhone with a european charger. It comes with an adaptor to convert it to UK voltage, but would i be able to buy a spare UK charger, to replace the European one?

I want to know when there will be a car charger available for iphone 5?
Yesterday, I pulled my iPhone out of my purse to find that a penny had gotten stuck in the charger port. After finally managing to yank it out, I thought everything was ok. However, today I realized that when I pulled the penny out, some of the pins in the charger area were broken and/or displaced. Now, the iPhone will not recognize the USB charger when it is plugged into a wall outlet nor a computer. Is there any way to fix this, or will I need to get a replacement iPhone? Also, because the phone is less than a year old, will the replacement phone be free? Thanks for any and all help!

I have just added to my apple products by getting and iPad. But I also have an iPhone 4 and just found out its better for my iPad to use my iPad charger but I wanted to know if it would mess up my iPhone to use my iPad charger.
Can I use my ipad adapter to charge my iPhone 5s
Help! So my phone was plugged into the charger, in the wall, like normal, when I smelled something burning... it was the charger end! I immediately unplugged it to stop fire hazards, but the burning already had damaged the inside of my iphone, enough to where it works, but cannot be charged, so therefore is dead.
I went to buy a new charger, and tried it out but it didnt work. SO it is the old chargers fault. And then to my surprise, I researched this problem, and apparently there have been many other cases of it happening!! Also, Im not sure if this is correct, but maybe.. there was a recall on the type of wall chargers they give you with a new iphone a year ago, but are these the ones they are still giving now?
My phone is only four months old. So it is under warranty. What will happen when I go to the apple store? Will it be replaced immediately? For free or will I have to pay? I am leaving on a trip in two days and really need to have my phone for emergencies.
Dont get me wrong, I love apple products, but it is very frustrating when there is a risk of my apartment catching on fire, and having to buy a whole new phone because of something that is not my fault.
Thanks for your help!!
Is it safe to do so? Id like to carry only one charger.

Hi, randomly specific (and possibly dumb) question here:
Since Ive heard that iPhone chargers draw power whenever theyre plugged in (regardless of whether the phones attached), I try to unplug my charger whenever Im not charging my phone. After an apartment reorganization, its most convenient for me to plug my charger into an extension cord instead of directly into a wall outlet. If I just unplug the charger from the extension cord, am I stopping the unnecessary power draw, or does the extension cord itself (an ordinary cheap one) still draw power because its plugged in? I.e. should I be unplugging the charger from the extension cord, or the extension cord from the wall? (Or does neither way have any real effect?)

I just got a new iPad 2 and would like to know if I can use the charger that came with the iPad to also charge my iPhone 4.

EV archive Journaling Index not getting updated
Hi Guys,
Enviroment: Windows 2003 Ent + EV 9.0.2 + O2K7 Sp3 + 3 Journal Task
I am having a weired issue here Mails are getting Journaled in real time without any issues, but they are not getting indexed.
last time it happened i had restarted the Indexing service and the index updated started. But now when i am trying to do the same is wont update and it shows me around 5 million items to be indexed.
Also checked if index is failed but there is no index marked failed or updating. One thing i noticed in task manager is it just shows me indexbroker.exe and no indexserver.exe. Hence after restarting the index service it shows for sometime and then again it will disapper.
I have captured a dtrace for 5 min for indexing attaching the same.
Please provide me your inputs on the same.

it doesn't look like your indexes are in backup mode
598 14:34:53.058 [7200] (IndexServer) <7676> EV:M CSynchronizerThread::IsIndexLocationInBackupMode IndexVolume=[13B97869BFE82564CAE9418CB71D7C57B1110000journalingMUM/Volume:915 (MUMBAI2011)], InBackupMode=[False] (hr=Success (0))
599 14:34:53.058 [7200] (IndexServer) <7676> EV:L CSynchronizerThread::IsBackupModeEventSet Index:[13B97869BFE82564CAE9418CB71D7C57B1110000journalingMUM/Volume:915 (MUMBAI2011)], BackupModeEventSet:[No] (hr = Success (0))
Is this EV server doing EV journal archive only? or is it doing other archiving too? From your description it may be a memory corruption hence the indexserver.exe keeps dying. Have you tried rebooting this EV server? I had a similar with other processes a while a go on a windows 2003 server. Anything in the event logs?
I will continue with the logs and see what i can find in there.
i can see the following:
CIndexAccessBase::GetIndexServer HRESULT exception caught (hr=Indexing Service is busy. (0x80041c86))
8279 14:35:08.604 [7176] (IndexServer) <1104> EV:M CSynchronizerThread::ThreadRoutine 13B97869BFE82564CAE9418CB71D7C57B1110000journalingMUM/Volume:916 (MUMBAI2011) (hr=Operation aborted (0x80004004))
Other than the above and no event logs I can't realy suggest anyting else other what i have already said above.
Server reboots daily morning and also the MaxIndexservers was set 10 from before itself not changes was done as such.
Also i checked if index is in backup mode but it was not in backup mode.
memory utliziation is not so consumed i have 8 GB and normally it shows 2 Gb used overall.
I will try to modify the MaxIndexServers thread from 10 to 30 and see if this helps
Thanks all for your feedback on this.

Ingredients (makes 24)
For The Cupcakes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups sugar, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream

Dark Brown Candy Melts, melted according to package directions
Sugar Babies candies or small black jelly beans, halved
Black edible-ink marker
Download and print the dog-ear template for a handy decorating guide here.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two 12-cup standard-size muffin pans with cupcake liners; set aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and 2 1/4 cups sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in vanilla.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture in three additions, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Fill prepared muffin cups with 1/4 cup batter each. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup sugar evenly over tops of cupcakes. Transfer to oven and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Let cupcakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack before cooling completely.
Transfer cooled cupcakes to refrigerator; let chill for 10 minutes. Place 2 tablespoons frosting on each cupcake; smooth into a dome-shape on top of each cupcake.
Knead enough gel-paste food coloring into 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of fondant to create desired shade of brown. Lightly dust work surface with cornstarch and roll out fondant. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 24 circles and transfer to a baking sheet; transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and let chill for 5 minutes.
Lightly dust work surface with cornstarch and roll out remaining 1 1/2 to 2 pounds fondant. Using a 1 3/4-inch round cutter, cut out 24 circles and transfer to a baking sheet; transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and let chill for 5 minutes.
Place a 3-inch brown circle of fondant over the top of each cupcake, smoothing with hands. Brush 1 1/2-inch white circles with water; place on top of brown circles, moistened-side down, near the bottom of each cupcake to create the muzzle. Set cupcakes aside.
Place dog ear template on a baking sheet and cover with a sheet of wax paper. Place melted chocolate melts in a resealable plastic bag; snip corner of bag to create a small (about 1/8-inch) hole. Trace ear shapes from template onto wax paper with melted chocolate; fill in ears with melted chocolate to cover. Transfer to refrigerator until hardened, about 5 minutes.
Using remaining melted chocolate, pipe dots onto each cupcake to create eyes. Use melted chocolate to adhere Sugar Babies or jelly beans to cupcakes to create a nose. Remove chocolate ears from wax paper; use melted chocolate to adhere to cupcakes. Using edible-ink marker, draw a mouth onto each puppy cupcake. Enjoy!

Starting today players will see that items will now grant a stat called Ferocity instead of Critical Damage. The intent of this change is to be part of a set of changes in the future that will rebalance the combat within Guild Wars 2 entirely. Players will be able to get Ferocity from gear as if it was any normal stat and in most cases Ferocity will be slotted as secondary stat. These changes over-all reduce the amount of damage a player can do when critically hitting.
How Does Ferocity Work?
Ferocity is calculated as follows:
At level 80, for every fifteen points of Ferocity you will get 1% critical damage.
Players start off with zero Ferocity and 150% base critical damage that can be increased by getting runes, traits, gear and food. Using these different means a profession can get 1,315 Ferocity while some professions can exceed this number. This means that every profession can get up to 238% critical damage.
Where to Get Ferocity
Runes come in three varieties when it comes to Ferocity: Primary Stat, Secondary Stat and Minor Stat. What this means is that a Superior Rune can offer Ferocity as a primary boost of +175, a secondary boost of +100 or will boost Ferocity a small amount. Choosing which one to get is solely dependent on what you seek out of a build and it is hard to say which is best. Here we will break them down into the three categories to help you find which will slot into your build better.
Primary Stat
- Superior Rune of the Air
- Superior Rune of the Golemancer
- Superior Rune of Rage
Secondary Stat
- Superior Rune of the Scholar
- Superior Rune of the Eagle
- Superior Rune of the Ranger
- Superior Rune of the Wurm
Minor Stat
- Superior Rune of the Ogre (+35)
- Superior Rune of Divinity (+78)
- Superior Rune of the Traveler (+36)
Any weapon, armor or trinket will only offer Ferocity as a secondary stat. This means that a player can only get up to 745 Ferocity if wearing full Ascended gear. The following are the only stat-types that will give a player Ferocity currently:
- Berserker
- Valkyrie
- Cavalier's
- Assassin's
- Divinity's
Every class has access to a trait line that gives them a bonus to Ferocity. A class can get 50 Ferocity for each point invested into that trait line. This can get a player up to 300 Ferocity which equals to 20% critical damage. The following are the Trait lines that grant Ferocity for each profession:
- Guardians: Valor
- Warriors: Discipline
- Engineers: Tools
- Rangers: Skirmishing
- Thieves: Critical Strikes
- Elementalists: Air Magic
- Mesmers: Dueling
- Necromancers: Soul Reaping
Finally players can pick up foods that will grant a temporary buff to their Ferocity. At most a player can only get 70 Ferocity from foods due to the fact that Ferocity is always slotted as a secondary stat. There are only a few foods in the game that currently grant that much Ferocity and they are the Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash Soup and Plate of Truffle Steak Dinner.
How to Build for Ferocity
Due to the nature of Ferocity always being a secondary stat you should build with optimization in mind. Every class can attain 1,315 Ferocity for a total of 238% critical damage. You need to capitalize on that multiplier by giving yourself the ability to critical hit as frequent as possible and by giving yourself the largest base damage you can get. This means you need to be building Power, Precision and Ferocity.
Assuming you've already been building with Ferocity in mind you should be noticing that the best stat for that is Berserker which gives Power as a primary stat and Precision and Ferocity as it's secondary stats. This means if you build entirely Berserker with all Ascended gear you will have the best possible base damage, critical chance and critical damage.
To get the most optimized build out of Ferocity you should be building as follows:
- Ascended Berserker Gear: 745 Ferocity
- Five Superior Runes of the Golemancer and one Superior Rune of Air: 200 Ferocity
- Traits: 300 Ferocity
- Bowl of Curry Butternut Squash Soup: 70 Ferocity
Following the guild above your end numbers will be 1,315 Ferocity for 88% critical damage which adds to your base 150% critical damage for a total of 238% critical damage. On top of this you will have a 63% critical chance and a huge amount of base damage dependent on which weapon you choose.

HUNTERTOWN — Columbia City's softball season was cut short Monday night at Carroll.
The Lady Eagles faced Northeast Hoosier Conference foe East Noble (17-10) in the first round of sectionals and lost, 6-2.
After winning the NHC with an undefeated 7-0 record and coming of last season's strong tournament play — a trip to semi-state — fans, parents, players and coaches were disappointed in the early loss.
The Lady Knights scored six runs before Columbia City got on the board.
Whether it be bad luck or strong play by the Lady Knights, the end result was the same.
"Every ball they hit found the hole. Every ball we hit found a glove," Cox said. "It works that way sometimes. I told the kids, "There are softball gods and they didn't want us to win tonight.'"
The Lady Eagles battled until the end, scoring its first — and last — runs of the game with two outs in the seventh frame.
With two on base, Senior Megan Giffin knocked a ball to the centerfield wall for a double, sending in two runs. Hannah Schnorr tried to keep the rally going with a single of her own, but the next batter got out on a fly ball to end the game.
Monday's game was the first time senior stand-out pitcher Cassie Vodde gave up earned runs on an NHC opponent, and it was Vodde's first loss of the season at the mound. Columbia City defeated East Noble 4-0 during the regular season, and Lady Knight Head Coach Marissa Troyer said she took a different approach to the sectional game.
"We were dead last time we played them," Troyer said. "We came ready to hit and we had a lot more energy this time around. "I told them it was going to take a full team effort and it took all 16 players in that dugout to win."
Troyer said when Columbia City beat her team earlier in the season, three starters were out due to injury.
Columbia City's Coach Cox, along with most other Lady Eagle fans, were disappointed in the loss after the post-season's high expectations.
"It's frustrating," Cox said. "We talked about that right before we left the school. We wanted to do the same thing this year. But luck has to be on your side no matter what you're doing, and it wasn't on our side tonight."
Cox said Columbia City's seniors, Parks, Vodde and Megan Giffin, will be missed.
"They're just great kids," Cox said. "They've had four years starting varsity and it's going to be hard without them."View more articles in:

They all use RJ45 connectors and are usually interchangeable depending on the bandwidth requirements of your devices.
Question: What's the difference between UTP and STP? Are these cables shielded?
Answer: UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pairs.
STP stands for Shielded Twisted Pairs.
The ethernet standard uses data packet transmission and error correction. Unlike streaming data transmission, this standard simply buffers and repeats until it has a complete instruction set which compensates data transmission errors.
Since UTP was cheaper in the beginning, it generally became the standard. If you are using the cables for ethernet connections, either should work. If you are using for a stream data system like video tranmission, the shielded should be used.
Question: What's the difference between "Solid" and "Stranded"
Answer: "Solid" vs. "Stranded" refers to the structure of the individual conduits in the cable. They can be a single solid wire or several thinner stranded wires. It's generally a matter of personal preferance which ones you use. Solids are easier to crimp connectors onto.
Question: What are the difference between the various in-wall ratings? (CMG, CMR, CMP)
Answer: In-wall ratings have to do with the burn characteristics of cabling and have no direct effect on the functional performance of the cables.
CMG is for general in-wall use. It is equivalent to CL2 & CL3. It is for general commercial and residential in-wall installation applications.
CMR is riser rated cable. These are suitable for situation where cable is passed from one floor of a structure to another.
CMP is for Plenum and is the highest in-wall rating. Plenum cables are specifically designed to go into the Plenum areas of commercial building where air circulation systems are. Plenum cables are formulated so they do not produce toxic gases as they burn.
While it is okay to use a higher rated cable in lower level applications, you should not do it the other way around.

By all means, carry on
Response to Mr. and Mrs. None:
I was quite amused by the article by the religion correspondent in the May 5 Gazette. I can certainly understand how an individual's thinking can evolve and adjust to personal experience and interpretation of such. However, I take considerable offense at the comment that "Colorado Springs was beginning to turn into an abyss of prejudice, and reason seemed to be in short supply." Furthermore the comment that "people's beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic instead of emotion, authority, tradition or dogma" seemed rather authoritative. I thought the couple featured in the article was incredibly arrogant and close-minded. I am sure that their organization Freethinkers of Colorado Springs will not be confused with better thinkers of Colorado Springs.

Iron Curtain:
The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944–1956
By Anne Applebaum
There was a remarkable notice in the New York Times Book Review shortly after the release of Anne Applebaum's book Iron Curtain, a stunning exposition of the Soviet Union's brutal occupation of Poland, Hungary, and East Germany. The Times assigned the book to its former executive editor Max Frankel, who had questioned President Gerald Ford during a 1976 debate with Jimmy Carter and elicited the incumbent's notorious claim that there was "no Soviet domination" of Eastern Europe.
At the time, Frankel was astonished by the gaffe. It was undeniable that the Soviet Union was dominating and controlling the East Bloc. But now, almost 40 years later, Frankel wonders why anyone would care how the Soviet Union came to do so. "It is good to be reminded of these sordid events, now that more archives are accessible and some witnesses remain alive to recall the horror," he writes of Iron Curtain. "Still, why should we be consuming such a mass of detail more than half a century later?"
Frankel's bizarre criticism is important to engage for the very reason that Applebaum's book is an important contribution to the literature of Communism. There has long been an ideological campaign—to which Frankel appears committed—to counter the "triumphalist" history of the Cold War (the Guardian's reviewer identifies Applebaum as a "right-wing cold warrior"). As she observes in her introduction, there has been a sustained push by revisionist historians to blame the Cold War's origins not on the genocidal paranoiac Joseph Stalin, but on the inflexible anti-Communist Harry Truman. Iron Curtain—along with other, less accessible recent books—nimbly dispatches such theories.
Let's start with the simple truth that, despite surviving the age of Nazism, Communism in Eastern Europe was not terribly popular after World War II. Hungary, Poland, and East Germany had disparate experiences with the Nazi war machine, but all rejected Communist rule at the ballot box. Indeed, it's worth noting that the two countries most enthusiastic about Communism in 1945 were France and Italy, neither of which was "liberated" by Soviet troops.
Despite various ploys designed to obscure the totalitarian nature of Soviet Communism, the Kremlin couldn't help but reveal itself to its new subjects. The occupation government of Poland, staffed with Moscow-trained Polish Communists, collaborated in the abduction of Polish underground leaders who had heroically battled Nazi invaders and occupiers. That thousands of foot soldiers of the resistance had been arrested and disappeared into the Gulag system did not go unnoticed by ordinary Poles. Nor was it a secret that their Communist liberators had murdered 21,000 Polish officers in Katyn, after the Soviet Union had jointly invaded Poland with the Nazis in 1940. In the first four months of 1945, the Soviet secret police itself estimated that it had arrested 215,540 people in Poland (a majority of whom were ethnic Germans). By the mid-1950s, Applebaum says, the "register of criminal and suspicious elements" in Poland had ballooned to 6 million names—fully one-third of the population.
The farrago of numbers exposing the cruel reality of "actually existing socialism" is the most depressing feature of Iron Curtain. For example, in the first five years of Hungary's Communist regime, 400,000 farmers were arrested for not achieving their preposterously high grain quotas. Eighty-eight percent of original recruits to the Stasi, East Germany's dreaded secret police, were rejected for "having relatives in the West, for having spent time abroad, or for having unacceptable political biographies of one kind or another." It was, however, a problem that the East Germans quickly overcame: The Gestapo fielded one agent for every 2,000 citizens. The Stasi ultimately narrowed that ratio to one agent for every 166 East Germans.
Drawing from the sinister wisdom of Lenin and his Polish comrade Felix Dzerzhinsky, the first boss of the KGB, the Kremlin understood that beneath the appearance of democracy a zealous secret-police presence was required to assert and retain political control. Applebaum cites an internal Stasi history acknowledging that "from the beginning [we] could not be restricted to defending the attacks of the enemy." Instead, the Stasi "was and is an organ that has to use all means in the offensive fight against the opponents of socialism." When Hungary's interior minister consulted with the head of Soviet military intelligence in December 1944 about establishing a police force to stanch the violence and looting plaguing the country, his Russian counterpart expressed more interest in other types of police work: "We discussed far more about the political police, about which he had much general advice and many proposals."
Moscow also demanded full-spectrum dominance of Eastern European cultural institutions. The varied worlds of youth culture, radio, music, film, and art were placed under strict party discipline. (Applebaum offers an interesting look at post-occupation Hungarian and Polish film industries, though she largely neglects the even more compelling example of DEFA, East Germany's skillfully run state movie studio.) And it is when reading of Communist youth groups, party attacks on politically suspect art, and the demand for "socialist realism" that one recalls historian George Mosse's observation that National Socialism worked aggressively "toward a total culture."
Applebaum relates the Communist reaction to the popularity of Warsaw's YMCA, which heaved with young people dancing to imported jazz records. The Soviets deemed such music "a tool of bourgeois-fascism," closed the club, and created their own, more politically correct "youth" institutions. If "the party could not compete for young people," Applebaum notes, "its leaders decided to eliminate the competition." Of course, the Nazis, too, waged war on American jazz and swing music, even creating an ersatz German version of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw–style big-band groups called "Charlie and His Orchestra."
But the most disturbing parallel between the Nazi and Soviet regimes—recall that these supposed ideological opposites gleefully collaborated in the dismemberment of Poland—is what Applebaum calls "the Communist indulgence of anti-Semitism." She writes: "Many hoped that by ignoring or even flirting with anti-Semitism, their party would seem more 'national,' more 'patriotic,' less Soviet, less alien, and more legitimate"—a particularly despicable indulgence considering the satellite regimes self-identified as "anti-fascist" governments.
Woven through Iron Curtain are astounding personal stories, like that of Gisela Gneist, a 15-year-old German girl who, excited by the talk of democracy she heard on American Armed Forces Radio, formed a "political party" with her friends. The Soviets arrested, beat, and sentenced her in front of a military tribunal. She was sent to the former Nazi concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. "Of some 150,000 people who were incarcerated in NKVD camps in eastern Germany between 1945 and 1953," Applebaum writes, "about a third died from starvation or illness."
As one Czech Communist commented during the orgy of purges, arrests, imprisonments, and disappearances: "These men are perhaps not guilty in the everyday sense of the word. But just now the fate and interests of individuals are of secondary importance." Instead, he said, it was "the future of mankind" that was at stake. But he, too, would soon be arrested, confessing, after vigorous torture sessions, to being "an important link in the anti-state conspiracy of Zionists and Jewish bourgeois nationalists."
During the period of high Stalinist paranoia, even leading Polish apparatchik Wladyslaw Gomulka was arrested, psychologically tortured ("sooner or later I'll have a breakdown," he confessed to his wife), and kept for months in an isolation cell. After the death of Stalin, Gomulka, like many former political prisoners, was rehabilitated by the party and ultimately became its leader, presiding over a totalitarian regime in Poland until his death in 1970. This victim of Stalinism, who intimately understood the regime of false charges and confessions, of torture and institutionalized cruelty, easily slipped back into the role of perpetrator.
It's these small personal tales of heroism and indignity and the rage-inducing examples of collaboration and cowardice that make Iron Curtain so valuable a book. Applebaum, a columnist with the Washington Post who won a Pulitzer Prize for her 2004 history of the Gulag, has provided a significant amount of original research that broadens our understanding of the Cold War's early years. But it's the latticework of personal stories and spellbinding historical sleuthing that sets Applebaum in a class of her own.
Contra Frankel, Iron Curtain is a very necessary book. Without efforts like Applebaum's, what is there to stop the continuous—and commercially successful—flood of tendentious and politicized works of Cold War revisionism from ultimately remaking the public perception of one of freedom's greatest modern triumphs? So long as wretched books such as Oliver Stone's recent The Untold History of the United States make their way onto bestseller lists, there can be no rest for those who aspire merely to convey history with accuracy. Frankel himself claims that after 1956, where Applebaum ends her study, there was "a 30-year effort in the Kremlin to stabilize and reform all Communist societies," which would come as a surprise to almost everyone who lived in a country occupied by the Soviet Union.
The accommodation, denial, and dismissal of Soviet crimes—even by employees of Frankel's own newspaper—has been supplanted by a general lack of interest in Moscow's more than 70-year imperial reign. Applebaum quotes Jean-Paul Sartre's telling Albert Camus that "like you I find [the Gulag] camps intolerable, but I find equally intolerable the use made of them every day in the bourgeois press." In today's Cold War relitigations, one senses a similar moral equivalence.
Iron Curtain swiftly upends the conclusions of historians who work backwards from the premise that America's antagonists are virtuous at least for antagonizing America. That such antagonists also inflicted horrors upon other countries might prick the consciences of those poised to embrace pro-Soviet scholarship as a mark of anti-American righteousness. Without books like Applebaum's, the side that won the Cold War seems ever more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the systematic perpetrators of grand-scale abomination.

PROVIDENCE – Two Republican lawmakers, Cumberland Sen. Bethany Moura and Portsmouth Rep. Dan Gordon, attacked the 49-state settlement agreement with the nation's five largest mortgage service providers that Democratic Attorney General Peter Kilmartin signed onto last week, calling the $25 billion the financial institutions agreed to pay "a drop in the bucket."
"What an insult to the American people," Gordon declared at a Statehouse press conference Tuesday. "What an insult to the people of Rhode Island. The people should be inflamed."
PAWTUCKET — The Rhode Island Ethics Commission has found that a proposal by the Grebien Administration to solicit private donations to fund the salary of the new economic development director would be against the Code of Ethics.

PURCELL, Okla. – Relief is in the near future for folks living in Purcell and Lexington.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation has signed an emergency contract to repair the bridge that connects the two towns within 45 days.
Walking around road block signs, Donnita Thornburg hit her limit with the detour.
Suddenly, her three-minute drive to her daughter in Lexington turned into 45 minutes when the state closed the bridge.
"That's a blood vein for the people in Lexington," said Thornburg. "You take that away and it hurts."
In Lexington, there are no doctor's offices; there are no grocery stores.
People usually travel to Purcell for errands and work.
However, the detour quickly emptied wallets.
Thornburg said, "There are people having to figure in a good $100 extra a week to buy gas to drive."
Now, Manhattan Road and Bridge plans to heal the lifeline in record time.
"It's doable," said division manager Rich Horrocks. "Everything has got to go just right, all the way from the manufacturing process to ODOT and their involvement."
The construction company needs to fix 264 spots on the bridge.
All repairs will take place underneath the bridge.
In fact, you won't see a single worker on top of the roadway.
They'll be installing new steel beams to reinforce the 1930's steel that finally failed.
"It didn't get that bad overnight," said Thornburg. "So, I feel there were lives put in danger."
Inspectors check the bridge yearly.
In January, the state closed it to semis, then to cars.
Now, even the weight of a person could cause a collapse.
Still, Dennis Martin was so tired of the detour on Monday, he was ready to take a chance.
Martin said, "I'm going to see how far I can walk."
Fortunately, our reporter was able to talk him out of the journey.
For 30 years, he's driven across the bridge.
"It just drives me nutty," laughed Martin. "What else can I say?"
Click here for more information on the bridge.
A feeling Thornburg understands every time she turns the key to her car.
However, in a matter of weeks, they hope to leave it all in the dust.
Thornburg said, "Of course, it's not tomorrow. We want it done yesterday but in the long run, that's a lot better than four to five months out."
To the taxpayers, the fix will cost more than $10 million.
The construction company has 45 days to have the bridge safe enough for cars and pickups to pass.
In 120 days, it should have the bridge open to semis as well.
The contractor stands to earn up to $2,500-per-hour for beating the deadline for reopening the bridge to car traffic and $1,500-per-hour for reopening it to all traffic.
The contractor will be penalized in the same amounts for finishing late.

Now that the cat's out of the bag about their upcoming nuptials, Kat Von D and Jesse James will wed next month. Why wait, when you can start grossing America out immediately? "Jesse and Kat don't see any reason why they should wait to trade vows," a source claims. "They are madly in love with each other and want to make everything official." Von D has been showing off her engagement ring, a 4-carat platinum and diamond stunner from Neil Lane, but only has a few more weeks to parade it around before the couple's small wedding, to be located somewhere outside of California. We can't wait to see what insane, permanent mistakes they'll slap on their bodies as a testament to their undying love!
As if were any of her business, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee warns that Jesse will cheat, as if that wasn't so much of a given, he'll probably put it in his vows. In a video message to RadarOnline, McGee admonishes "I was with Jesse during his marriage—the guy's not faithful, he doesn't have a faithful bone in his body!" The only reason we suspect this might not be true is that Kat seems to be exactly the type of women Jesse is draw too. Looks like he found the exact tattoo-to-skin ratio he likes, which seems to be somewhere around 12-to-1.

Fairland tops Peake, 5-0
PROCTORVILLE -- Senior Kyle Raines pitched a complete-game shutout, giving up just four hits and striking out seven as Fairland baseball completed its regular season sweep of rival Chesapeake at home Friday evening.
Raines pitched in both wins against Chesapeake, and was masterful Friday against the Panthers.
"Raines was on ... when he's throwing like that, we're pretty tough," said Fairland coach Bryan Ward. "He gets up for Chesapeake, and we've kind of had the better of it lately, and these guys didn't want to drop one today, that's for sure."
Raines was helped by an impressive defensive effort from the Dragons. As Ward pointed out, most of the pitcher's offerings netted slow ground balls or pop-ups, which also made it easier on the defense.
"When we started this season we were one of the worst defensive teams out there," Ward said. "Today I think was one of our best defensive games of the season."
But Chesapeake was equal to the challenge for much of the game.
Sophomore pitcher Joe Bias gave up a run in the bottom of the first after Kyle Sowards led off with a triple, and Josh Ross brought him home on a fielder's choice.
After that, Bias retired the Dragons in order in the second and third. Fairland added another run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI double from Evan Russell, but heading into the sixth inning, Chesapeake was still down just 2-0.
That's when the Dragons lit the Panthers up, with Raines getting an RBI double, followed by a two-out rally that saw three more runs cross the plate.
That forced Chesapeake to go into its last at bat facing a five-run deficit.
The Panthers went three up and three down, and the game was over.
"That seems to be the history of our season," said Chesapeake coach Ray Boster. "We're in games up until the fifth or sixth inning, we have one little mistake or something doesn't go our way and the wheels come off. It seems to be a consistent thing we struggle with."
Stranding base runners is another issue for a young Panthers team that typically starts five sophomores and two to three freshmen.
"We've talked about getting the timely hit," Boster said. "We seem to be able to get guys on base with less than two outs, but we just can't get that timely hit. We move them around and get them on second or third, but then we help (the opposition) out by not being really selective at the plate."
With a young squad, Boster said it's been a challenge to keep spirits up while losses mount.
"That's one of the hardest things we have to deal with right now is the emotions they go through," he said. "They're not able to forget mistakes and move on as quickly as we'd like them to, but it's a work in progress and we're not giving up on them."

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Cal State Northridge women's soccer freshman Nancy Avesyan earned Big West Co-Player of the Week honors after scoring the game-winning goals in the Matador's 2-0 victory over UC Davis and 2-1 win over Pacific this past weekend. For the season, Avesyan leads the team with 11 points, the result of four goals and three assists.
In helping CSUN to a weekend sweep of its league matches, the first by a Matador team since 2004, Avesyan connected on a pair of second-half goals to propel Northridge to the victories.
"It feels great to win this award," Avesyan said. "The team played very hard this weekend in picking up these two victories. We continue to work hard for each other and it is always inspiring to see how hard everyone works."
Against UC Davis, she scored following a cross from teammate Kristal Phillips. After the ball deflected off another Matador, sophomore Erin Kelly, Avesyan deposited the ball into the net in the 57th minute to give Northridge a 1-0 lead in what turned out to be a 2-0 victory.
Two days later, Avesyan saved the heroics until the waning moments of the match, collecting a loose ball following a corner kick from Phillips and driving a low, line-drive shot past the Pacific keeper in the 88th minute of action.
In addition to leading the team with 11 points, her 29 total shots and 14 shots on goal both lead the Matadors. Her four goals are tied with teammate Farryn Townley for the team lead and her three assists are tied for second behind Phillips' five.
"I just want to keep working hard for myself and teammates," Avesyan stated. "It is great to come in and contribute as a freshman and I know that as long as we continue to work towards our goals, bigger and better things will come."
UC Santa Barbara's Genelle Ives shared the conference honors with Avesyan after scoring a pair of goals in the Gauchos' 4-2 win over Cal Poly. She also had UCSB's goal in its 1-1 tie with Pacific.
Avesyan and the Matadors return to the pitch Thursday when they travel to UC Irvine for a pivotal Big West Conference match. Kick off between the Anteaters and Northridge is slated for 7 p.m. at Anteater Stadium.

A neighborhood feud over barking hunting dogs could have ramifications for dog owners throughout the county, but the hunting dogs' owner said last week the claims are exaggerated and leading to harassment.
Animal Control parked outside their home for 20 to 30 minutes every day for two weeks, said Doug Briggs, who with his wife Lynne keeps six hunting dogs and three inside dogs at their home in Old Fort Estates.
His neighbor, Cliff Loos, complained to County Council that the Briggs and neighbors the Bundricks keep a couple dozen dogs between the two homes and the barking is so bad and so constant he can't even open his windows.
Councilman Larry Hargett has taken up Loos's cause, and he told council he'd like an ordinance restricting the number of dogs that can be kept at a residence.
Hargett and Loos played a video of barking dogs at the last council meeting to make their case, and council agreed to place the issue in committee.
Briggs said he didn't know the issue was going to be on council's agenda and will make sure to be at the next meeting to present his side of the story.
"They keep bothering us. They're not happy with the outcome of it, so they won't stop," he said.
He even put up a 7.5-foot tall fence in an attempt to keep working with everyone, he said.
The dispute amongst the neighbors has been ongoing for years. Lynne Briggs ended up in court last summer and was found guilty of causing a public nuisance, though her fine was suspended because she was working to correct the problem.
Barbara Loos followed her to court and was found guilty in September of allowing an animal to run loose.
Doug Briggs said this won't be the end of the legal maneuvers, and he took issue with Cliff Loos's statement to council that "the violations continue."
"We haven't received a violation since we went to court last time," Briggs said.
Clay Pendarvis, the county's chief building official who also oversees animal control, confirmed he instructed animal control officers to monitor the two homes in question to see if a pattern of barking could be found and to see if the complaints are justified.
He said late last week his officers hadn't found excessive barking and wouldn't have reason to continue the case if the week ended as the preceding week-and-a-half had gone.
Tabatha Carter, who lives two houses down from the Briggs and next door to the Bundricks, said she doesn't think the barking is excessive.
The only time the Bundricks' dogs bark is when her dog runs out to sniff them through the fence or when Bundrick comes home, she said.
"It's not a nonstop thing," she said. "I don't know what his (Loos's) problem is."
Carter, too, said she would have attended the council meeting if she knew her neighborhood was going to be discussed and intends to go to the meetings in the future.

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future
|Skip Navigation Links
While at Middletown at this term of the court, I took a final leave of my friend Elihu Spencer, then on his death-bed, and a few days after was called to attend his funeral obsequies. He was my intimate friend, and I regarded him with such affection and respect, and he stood so high too in his profession, that I feel unwilling that he should pass away without a brief notice in these reports.
ELIHU SPENCER was born in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, on the 29th of February, 1820. He was a grandson of Hon. Isaac Spencer, for many years Treasurer of the State of Connecticut, and great-grandson of Gen. Joseph Spencer of East Haddam, who was a distinguished officer in the Revolutionary army. His father, Elihu Spencer, who was a lawyer by profession, and a man of superior mind and character, died a few months before his birth. While he was in his infancy, his mother removed to Connecticut, her native state, and after a few years came to Middletown to reside, where she has ever since remained. Here, at the Wesleyan University, her son received his classical education, and afterwards established himself in the practice of his profession, having spent elsewhere a portion of the time during which he was a student at law. He was her only child, and, with rare dutifulness and devotion, he cherished her as the companion of his life, forming no domestic ties that could divide his affections. Inheriting from her uncommon strength of mind, he learned from her a habit of independent and vigorous thinking and a high sense of honor and self respect that were marked features of his character. She survives him in a more than renewed widowhood.
In his professional character he united with a rare high-mindedness and aversion to everything unfair or dishonorable, a singularly clear and philosophical comprehension of the science of law. With a good memory, enabling him to refer with readiness to all the leading cases in the English and American reports, he yet relied far more upon the thoroughly digested principles which he had extracted from the cases. His mind was rarely at fault upon a point of law. He saw at a glance what general principle was applicable to any question in hand and seemed to have at command the exact limitation of the principle. His mind was one of uncommon compactness, tenacity, and logical acuteness, and although predisposed to theoretical speculation, yet it was not wanting in practical soundness. His manner, both before the court and in the intercourse of life, was marked by great modesty and unobtrusiveness and by a quiet and gentlemanly dignity. He was absolutely without pretension, in part from an inadequate estimate of himself, and in part and perhaps mainly from great refinement of mind and a delicacy of perception in matters of taste. His language in addressing the court was always lucid and vigorous, and while sufficiently copious was never redundant. He was a man of too much simplicity to deal in expletives of language or manner. He had little imagination and never affected it. He dealt wholly with the reason and with the higher moral perceptions, never with the mere passions or emotions of men.
He was a man of much general cultivation, familiar with the best departments of literature and philosophy and with some of the physical sciences. For one so quiet and retiring as he, he was singularly decided, and, when occasion required, fearless, in his condemnation of what he considered wrong. He had a sense of right that no precedent or authority could shake. This independence of authority and his habit of subjecting every proposition to the test of reason, led him to some religious opinions, honestly held, never discredited by a lax morality of principle or practice, and never urged upon others, but which differed in some important respects from those generally entertained by christians. He regarded with much interest the philanthropic and reformatory movements of the day, and, in particular, was from early life a warm friend of the temperance cause. He sympathized also very decidedly with the anti-slavery sentiment that was gaining ground in the free states, and, in later life, withdrew from the political party, with which he had been for many years connected, to unite with the one that was organized to oppose the extension of slavery.
On the reconstruction of our judiciary system in 1855, he was urged by his friends to accept the office of Judge of the Superior Court, and would have been elected to that office with, it is believed, the support of all parties, but for his persistent refusal to allow his name to be used. It is believed by those who knew him best that he would have made an excellent judge. It is certain that no man in the state would have had in a higher degree the public confidence. His health was at this time beginning to fail, and had been seriously affected by the great amount of labor which he had been compelled to perform as a member of the legislature during that session. This state of his health was an important consideration with him in declining the office, but he was also in no small degree deterred from its acceptance by an extreme sensitiveness to any possible suspicion that he might have had a judgeship in view, in the active part which he had taken as a member of the Judiciary Committee in preparing and procuring the passage of the bill. In the spring of 1857, he was nominated by the republican party for the office of Lieutenant Governor, but declined the nomination.
One so unobtrusive as he, neither aspiring to nor accepting any of those higher public offices that help a man to at least an historical preservation of his name, is likely soon to be forgotten by all but those who personally knew and esteemed him, and is, for that reason, especially deserving of a memorial in the records of the profession which he adorned; while those who desire the elevation of the character of that profession, will be glad to have treasured for its benefit all of such an example that so brief a memorial can preserve. It is to be regretted that it must be so brief as to be rather a mere tribute of respect to his memory than an adequate portraiture of his character.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- After planning closure for six months, Gwinnett's corrections department is "damaged," Warden David Peek said to members of the Engage Gwinnett study committee Thursday.
But a decision this week to continue the operation beyond its July 2011 closure date will allow the department to rebuild.
"We've been in phase-out mode since July, so a lot of our programs have gone away," Peek said. "The department is damaged. It'll take several months to get back to normal service levels."
Because the work release program was expected to close at the end of the year before this week's vote, only 70 of 288 work release beds are filled.
Peek said the program was also hit by the economy, where many of the people sentenced to the program were unable to find jobs, but he said judges are likely to resume sentencing delinquent child support defendants to the service.
"It's struggling now, but it's a very valuable program," Peek said.
Because participants paid fees to be a part of the work release program, the revenues have gone down as well.
"We've been on a roller coaster ride in 2009," he said, adding that the department gained accreditation just three weeks after the summer vote to slate its closure.
The planned phasing of the closure also meant the prison's GED teacher had been laid off.
Peek described the ability for high school dropouts to get general equivalency diplomas is "the very cornerstone" of services to stop offenders from committing crime in the future.
In 2008, 63 inmates earned GEDs, but in 2009, only 31 completed the training before the teacher was let go.
To save money, officials closed down one housing unit, transferring 64 inmates to the county jail and other facilities.
And because many corrections officers found new jobs to avoid a future layoff, the prison's work crews have been cut.
At its peak, 25 crews of inmates were in the community each day, cleaning parks, public buildings, mowing, painting graffiti and other manual labor tasks. Now, Peek said, there are 10, and two more are expected to be cut soon.
Because of the decrease in both revenues from housing state inmates and the work release fees as well as the drop in labor, the percentage of the department's budget that was paid for in money and labor reduced from 53 percent in 2008 to 41 percent in 2009.
But, Peek said, "We are open for business again."
Responding to a question from a committee member, the warden said the once-proposed closure "on paper, looked like a $7 million savings."
However, inmates would have to be housed somewhere, and programs to try to stave off reoffenses would mean more repeat offenders.
In the end, more offenders would be on the streets, said Peek, a former police officer.
"I don't think that's a good recipe for public safety," he said. "I'm happy we've taken another look at that."
Committee member Herman Pennamon questioned the amenities at the jail.
"Sometimes, it's too good for them in jail," he said. "Why don't we make it more tough for them, so they don't want to go back?"
But Peek said meals are based on state requirements for calories and medical needs have to be met.
"It's not a country club environment by any means," he said.
He added that the television in each housing unit, which is paid for by inmate commissary funds, not tax dollars, is used as a management tool for corrections officers to reward or punish behavior.

When Chatham University was founded in 1869 under the name Pennsylvania Female College, it was born into a world of furious debate over the role of women's higher education.
Would it reduce the number of marriages? Were women smart enough? Or even physically capable? One retired Harvard Medical School professor wrote in an 1873 report that women should not participate in higher education if they hoped for a future "secure from neuralgia, uterine disease, hysteria and other derangements of the nervous system."
As Chatham considers admitting male undergraduates for the first time in its history, the debate over women's higher education continues. But the issues involved have flipped.
With women now doing so well in higher education — outnumbering men in earning degrees from the associate to doctoral level — is there still a need for single-sex education?

Find out how to deal with unwanted attention from dogs when you're running
If you're attacked, here's what dog behaviour expert Kirsten Dillon advises you do next
Report ItIf you are chased or attacked by a dog, you should try to report the owner to your local authority dog warden (search for your nearest warden at localdirect.gov.uk). You don't need to have been bitten to file a report. Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) says a dog is 'dangerously out of control' if 'there are grounds for reasonable apprehension that it will injure any person'. This refers to all dogs in England and Wales, no matter what breed or size.
Treat ItSevere bites will require hospital treatment to clean out the wound and remove any damaged tissue. For smaller bites and scratches, clean the wound immediately by placing it under running water for a few minutes. Squeeze the skin to encourage it to bleed freely if it's not already doing so. Use painkillers such as ibuprofen to help relieve the pain and inflammation, then keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as swelling, redness or pus. If you are worried that it has become infected, see your GP.
