"Rising Defections From The Army's Lower Ranks"
"They Tell Us We're Going To Fight Armed Criminals, And We Get To The Streets And See Kids, And Elderly Men, And Just Normal People With No Weapons"
"Even Galvanized Steel Has A Breaking Point"
"The Weak Spot Here Are The Rank-And-File And Mid-Officer Corps Breaking Away"
A 21-year-old conscript who fled to Jisr al-Shoghour from Damascus earlier this week said troops live in near isolation, with no televisions or telephones, and have no information on the protests in Syria's streets until they are deployed.
"They tell us we're going to fight armed criminals, and we get to the streets and see kids, and elderly men, and just normal people with no weapons," he said.
JUNE 13, 2011 By A WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTER And NOUR MALAS [Excerpts]
DAMASCUS--Syria's military took control of a northwestern town after surrounding it for days, as President Bashar al-Assad's regime appeared to close ranks in the face of growing international condemnation, alienating a key ally and retreating into isolation.
A regime crackdown on restless cities has seen a military operation focused in the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shoughour this weekend, where the government vowed to root out armed gangs it said killed 120 police and security-force members a week ago.
Across the border with Turkey, where thousands of refugees are being hosted in camps, a 27-year man who identified himself as Ali crossed over to get aid supplies and said "dissidents from the army blew up two bridges in the city." Jamil Saeb, a resident of Jisr al-Shoghour and activist, said military tanks couldn't move into the town on Saturday due to "some defectors who were trying to resist."
Amid rising defections from the army's lower ranks, the core of people around Mr. Assad-who command army divisions and control the multilayered security apparatus-has further tightened, analysts say. Mr. Assad's younger brother, Maher, is leading the crackdown in Jisr al-Shoghour, according to residents and activists, after deploying his army unit into other protest hotspots.
"In final decisions the family is key and it would seem inconceivable that Bashar could throw key regime members under the bus at this point," said Andrew Tabler, a Syria expert and fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Army defections remain key to a potential showdown between the Assad core and the Sunni community, which dominates the rank-and-file of the army, analysts say.
Every day this week, testimonies by defected army conscripts have emerged.
A 21-year-old conscript who fled to Jisr al-Shoghour from Damascus earlier this week said troops live in near isolation, with no televisions or telephones, and have no information on the protests in Syria's streets until they are deployed.
"They tell us we're going to fight armed criminals, and we get to the streets and see kids, and elderly men, and just normal people with no weapons," he said.
The Washington Institute's Mr. Tabler said "The weak spot here are the rank-and-file and mid-officer corps breaking away," adding that this was likely the scenario developing in Jisr al-Shoghour.
"Minority regimes like the Assads by their nature are galvanized against the kinds of splits like those in Egypt and Tunisia," Mr. Tabler said. "However, even galvanized steel has a breaking point."
"Syrian Army Deserters Who Fled To Turkey Have Told Of Atrocities Committed By Soldiers In Suppressing Anti-Government Protests"
"When Asked Of The Prospects For Syria's Future, He Said He Expected The Collapse Of Assad's Regime"
"All The Soldiers Are Stressed Out. Either They Will Flee, Or They Will Change Sides"
June 11, 2011 Ya Libnan LLC
[Thanks to Mark Shapiro, Military Resistance Organization, who sent this in.]
Syrian army deserters who fled to Turkey have told of atrocities committed by soldiers in suppressing anti-government protests, under threat of execution if they disobeyed orders.
Four conscripts interviewed by AFP recounted instances of rape and wanton murder as President Bashar al-Assad's forces combat demonstrations against his regime across the country.
With a blank stare in his eyes, Tahal al-Lush said the "cleansing" in Ar-Rastan, a town of 50 000 residents in the Syrian province of Homs, prompted him to desert.
"We were told that people were armed there. But when we arrived, we saw that they were ordinary civilians. We were ordered to shoot them," said Lush, who showed his military passbook and other papers as proof of his identity.
"When we entered the houses, we opened fire on everyone, the young, the old. Women were raped in front of their husbands and children," he said, giving the number of deaths as some 700, difficult to verify as journalists are not allowed to circulate freely in Syria.
Mohammed Mirwan Khalaf, also haunted by the horrors of a war against civilians, was in a unit stationed in Idlib, near the Turkish border.
"Just in front of me, a professional soldier pulled out his knife and stabbed a civilian in the head, for no reason," he said.
For Khalaf the last straw came when his unit passed through the neighbouring town of Saraqib. A militiaman travelling with them he named as Shabih opened fire on people, he said.
"When they started shooting people, I dropped my gun and fled," he added, claiming that some 25 people were killed in the incident on June 7.
Khalaf's brother Ahmed, who had been called up in another military unit, also deserted after witnessing violence in the city of Homs, north of Damascus.
"After seeing how they killed people, I realised that the regime is prepared to massacre everyone," Ahmed said, looking red-eyed and haggard.
He said that he and some comrades had thought of mutiny but fear made them abandon the plan.
Ahmed claimed the regime posted snipers drawn from the police or the Syrian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah militia on high points. "When the soldiers do not shoot, they shoot the soldiers down," he said.
The fourth deserter, Walid al-Khalaf, confirmed the perils of insubordination. "We saw six people who tried to flee, our commanders shot them," he said.
Rather than entering Homs on Thursday, Walid al-Khalaf said he chose to escape together with 15 friends.
"I knew that if we entered the city, we should kill many people. We all took different ways (to run away)," he said.
When asked of the prospects for Syria's future, he said he expected the collapse of Assad's regime.
"All the soldiers are stressed out. Either they will flee, or they will change sides," he said.

Basra Police Building Blown Up
Jun 11, 2011 Reuters & June 12 (Reuters) & June 13 Reuters
BAGHDAD - A bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a police building in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on Monday, killing three policemen, officials said.
Provincial police chief Brig. Faisal al-Ebadi said the guards opened fire at the bomber's car after he failed to stop. The attacker's vehicle crashed through the gate a few yards (meters) into the police compound in the city's central al-Ashar district before blowing it up.
The blast leveled the wall around the police compound, which houses the rapid reaction unit and general inspector's office, blowing out the windows and destroying several vehicles parked in front. Police and rescuers were seen examining the debris that littered the pavement with broken glasses.

Two car bombs exploded in quick succession in a central street of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Saturday, killing six people and injuring 60. In an apparently coordinated double bombing, the blasts occurred in a street with many restaurants near the government compound in the main city of Nineveh province. Police said the first bomb targeted an army water tanker truck and then when rescuers came running to help the victims, the second vehicle detonated.
HILLA - Insurgents killed a government-backed Sahwa militia leader and his wife in a town near the city of Hilla, 100 km (60 miles) south of Baghdad, police said.

Tucker Given Bronze Star, Purple Heart At His Funeral

May 28, 2011, By Cindy Swirko, Staff writer, Gainesville.com
Army Pvt. Lamarol Tucker of Gainesville was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star, Purple Heart and other honors Saturday at his funeral at Passage Family Church in northeast Gainesville - where he was remembered as a quiet but funny man who overcame tragedy to lead soldiers in Afghanistan.
Tucker was killed May 16 in the line of duty when an improvised explosive device hit his vehicle in the Afghan province of Zabul.
"He was an engineer soldier. It was his responsibility to clear the paths for those who are coming behind him," said Army Maj. Gen. Joseph Votel, who gave the medals to members of Tucker's family. "That fits in with the overall theme we've seen here today. When he was mortally injured, Lamarol was doing everything right and was performing the responsibilities that were asked of him."
Four soldiers, including Tucker, were on patrol when they were fatally wounded by insurgents who had attacked their unit using an improvised explosive device in the city of Spin Ghbarga, officials said.
Tucker had joined the Army in January 2009 and deployed in April to Afghanistan from Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska, the Army stated.
He was assigned to the 73rd Engineer Company, Brigade Troops Battalion, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division out of Fort Wainwright.
Tucker's 4,000-soldier brigade began deploying to Afghanistan in mid-April, officials said, for a one-year tour.
Tucker, nicknamed Snake, attended Santa Fe High School in Alachua and Loften High in Gainesville.
He is the son of Lenard Jerome Tucker and the late Janice Elaine Walker.
He was close to his younger brother, Keith Tucker, a Florida State University senior.
Tragedies such as his mother's death were noted by several friends who spoke of Tucker at Saturday's service, which was attended by many military members from various branches of the armed forces.
"We always had each other, no matter what. He was a very special person," said longtime friend Chad Hendricks, who also is in the Army. "He was the most hilarious person you would meet. He grew that sense of humor out of something else - pain in his life. I can't tell you how strong these two brothers were."
Friend Omar Rosario said the two bonded as youngsters over X-men and comic books.
Rosario described Tucker as a loyal, kind and selfless friend.
Pastor Reginald Williams said the Tucker brothers could have easily succumbed to drugs or other problems but instead kept themselves straight and made something of their lives.
"There are so many excuses that folks could offer on why folks may make this or do this or be able to do that. Keith and Snake had every reason not to be successful," Williams said. "Everything you think of happened to these two and yet when folks thought Snake wasn't going to be anything, he rose up and became something."
Family, Neighbors Remember Citrus Heights Airman Killed In Afghanistan
May 29, 2011 Tihanna McCleese, FOX40 News
As a young boy, Kristoffer Solesbee loved helping people. The 32-year-old Airforce Tech Sergeant grew up in Citrus Heights with his father and older sister. He could often be found next door at his grandparents' home or across the street helping his elderly neighbor, Mr. Bud.
"He used to come over and follow me around, as he grew into a teenager he would help me with yard work, he was such a pleasant boy to be around," Bud says.
Following in his father and grandfather's footsteps, Solesbee joined the Air Force after graduating from Freedom Christian School in 1996.
As a bomb disposal technician, he spent months in the Middle East helping protect combat troops from explosive devices.
Solesbee was one of two airmen killed by an improvised bomb planted by enemy forces in the Shorak district of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan on May 26th.
"His father called and told me. I was just shocked, it hurts," says Cleo Reit, the airman's grandmother. Solesbee was assigned to the 775th Civil Engineer Squadron at Hill Air Force Base in Utah and this was his second tour of duty in Afghanistan.
He had been there since January. His grandmother says he was set to come home in August and was looking forward to reuniting with his wife.
"He was a sweet loving person, it's a big loss to anyone who knew him. We are sad," says neighbor Ron Frie.
Macomb County Soldier Among Six Killed In Afghanistan
May 30, 2011 By Mitch Hotts, For The Daily Tribune
As the nation spends the Memorial Day holiday weekend honoring their military veterans, a Macomb County family is mourning the loss of a soldier who was killed in combat in Afghanistan last week.
Staff Sgt. Ergin V. Osman, who grew up in Harrison Township and Sterling Heights, was one of six soldiers who died May 26 in the battle, according to the Department of Defense.
A news release issued by the Defense Department stated the six were fatally injured when insurgents attacked their unit with an improvised explosive device in Kandahar province.
"He died doing what he loved to do," said his former wife, Mouna Osman of St. Clair Shores.
"He was a career military man. He served in the Marines and then joined the Army in 2007. This was his second deployment to Afghanistan."
In addition to Osman, the others killed were 1st Lt. John M. Runkle, 27, of West Salem, Ohio; Staff Sgt. Edward Mills Jr., 29, of New Castle, Pa.; Sgt. Thomas A. Bohall, 25, of Bel Aire, Kan.; Sgt. Louis Ramos Velazquez, 39, of Camuy, Puerto Rico, and Spc. Adam Patton, 21, of Port Orchard, Wash.
They were assigned to Fox Company, (Pathfinder), 4th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, 159th Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky.
Osman, 35, resided in Harrison Township until he was 16 when his family moved to Sterling Heights. A bodybuilder, he graduated from Sterling Heights where he played rugby and lacrosse.
His former wife said he wanted to serve his country because he idolized his father, Mike Osman, who was in the Army's Special Forces also known as the Green Berets.
Ergin Osman, who was Turkish and a Muslim, joined the Marines where he became part of an elite reconnaissance unit and then switched over the Army where he was a top honor graduate in ranger school. "He loved the military and everything it stood for," said Mouna Osman.
The couple had two sons, Aidan, 9, and Zeren, 5. After the couple divorced, the boys stayed with their mother in St. Clair Shores. Ergin Osman later remarried to Private 1st Class Kristin Osman and they resided in Hopkinsville, Ky.
Mouna Osman said she knew something was terribly wrong when two Army representatives and a chaplain knocked on the door of her house last Thursday.
"I know he was gone as soon as I opened the door and saw them in their full uniforms," she said. "They were very patient explaining everything to my sons."
Mouna Osman, who said she has cried for four straight days, encouraged her sons to express their feelings.
The boys erected American flags on the front lawn and drew up a poster with the message "Miss You Daddy" with a hand-drawn image of their father.
"My youngest, Zeren, was upset, he said 'My dad isn't going to see my ball games or see my kindergarten graduation,' but I told him now your Dad can see everything you do all the time."
She said the family is working with Osman's current wife in Kentucky to plan funeral services.
They tentatively are planning on having a funeral in Grand Blanc with burial at the Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly. They may also hold a ceremony at Mac & Ray's Banquet Center in Harrison Township.
In addition to his father, children, wife and former wife, he also is survived by his mother, Sarah Osman of Township, Mich.
According to the Defense Department, his awards and decorations include: Air Medal; Army Commendation Medal; Navy Commendation with Combat Distinguishing Device; Army Achievement Medal; Navy Achievement Medal with Valor Device; Air Force Meritorious Unit Award Ribbon; Combat Action Ribbon; Joint Meritorious Unit Award; Navy Unit Commendation; Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation; Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal; Army Good Conduct Medal; National Defense Service Medal; Korean Defense Service Medal; Kosovo Campaign Medal with two Bronze Service Stars; Afghanistan Campaign Medal; Iraq Campaign Medal; Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal; Humanitarian Service Medal; Armed Forces Service Medal; Army Service Ribbon; Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon; Overseas Service Ribbon; North Atlantic Treaty Organization Medal; Parachutist Badge; Air Assault Badge; and Combat Infantryman Badge and Ranger Tab.

Militant Bomb Kills Somali Interior Minister In His Bed
MOGADISHU, Somalia, June 11 (UPI)
Somalia's al-Shabaab militia said Saturday it killed the interior minister in his own home but denied reports his niece carried out a suicide attack.
Abdishakur Sheik Hassan Farah died Friday during an attempted medical evacuation to Kenya after the Mogadishu explosion.
Shabelle News reported al-Shabaab spokesman Sheik Ali Mohamoud Rage said, "With the help of almighty Allah, our mujahedin successfully sneaked into his home in Mogadishu, planting explosives underneath his bed despite the presence of his vigilant bodyguards."
Officials of the transitional federal government told the BBC Farah's own teenage niece killed him in a bombing, but Rage denied that.
Two people were killed in Mogadishu Friday during protests against a deal signed in Uganda Thursday that would extend the terms of the president and Parliament until June 2012.

Terminally Stupid Fort Hood Command Gives Huge Powerful Positive Recommendation To Soldiers In Favor Of Iraq Veterans Against The War:
Soldiers Have Been Briefed Not To Talk To IVAW Members
2011-06-10 By Scott Kimball, Iraq Veterans Against The War (www.ivaw.org/)
From The Streets of Killeen Just outside Fort Hood East Gates
If you were to take a trip down Ft. Hood street in Killeen, you would encounter the same sites of any military town.
You would see pawn shops and title loan businesses. You would come across shady car dealerships and rent-to-own stores.
All of these estabishments are in the business of exploiting service members.
However, the most exploitative establishment in Killeen is not a for-profit entity. It is the Fort Hood command.
Operation Recovery organizers have been talking to Ft. Hood soldiers and collecting their testimony.
One common thread is clear: the Ft. Hood command has been negligent in upholding soldiers' right to heal.
So far we have collected hundreds of pledges from service members and their families. We have listened to their stories of their experience with trauma and the lack of response or concern from the military.
Perhaps most concerning is the fact that soldiers have been briefed not to talk to us.
It seems that General Campbell has chosen to ignore our concerns rather than deal with them.
Since he has chosen to not be a partner with us in correcting these wrongdoings, we must do it ourselves.
That is why we are down here. We will only be able to uphold soldiers' right to heal when we stand up for ourselves. Each day we become larger and more organized. We are learning from our mistakes and making small victories. Even if it seems so very far into the future, our day will soon come.
Join us in our fight for the rights of service members and veterans.
When divided, we have no power; when together, we are unstoppable. It has only been a couple of weeks into our deployment and we are already a force to be reckoned with.
Join the growing GI rights movement!
Stand with us and fight for change!
"A Group Of Soldiers Along The Route Pumped Their Fists In The Air"
"'Bradley Manning: Way OUT For Justice' In The Honolulu Pride Parade"
From: worldcantwaithawai

Subject: Bradley Manning Contingent in the Hawaii Pride Parade!
Our contingent to support Bradley Manning in the Honolulu Pride Parade was a great success! Our brilliant banner, glittered photos of Bradley Manning, Bradley Manning masks, chants and drumming made us impossible to miss and we had tremendous support along the route.
As our truck rolled out of Ala Moana Park and into the Pride celebration we wondered whether people would know who Bradley Manning is, and whether there would be support, opposition, or merely puzzled faces.
As we reached the first crowds of people the questions disappeared.
A group of soldiers along the route pumped their fists in the air. Japanese tourists read the signs and clapped in approval.
People turned to each other asking: "Who's Bradley Manning" and others in the group would explain.
All along the route hundreds of cameras and cell phones snapped pictures, flashed us their shakas, and gave us the thumbs-up. We're sure more than a few headed to google to find out more.
World Can't Wait-Hawai`i has organized numerous small events to support Bradley Manning, but this was by far the best.
Until now we've been disappointed by how few people know about his case so we were surprised to see how many people showed quick recognition and support. It was especially heartening to see the response of many Japanese tourists who lined the parade route.
We suspect that even if they didn't immediately recognize Bradley Manning's name, they supported Wikileaks and are aware of the case.
In addition to having a big presence in the parade itself, our contingent was also seen on TV coverage of the celebration that evening.
To many of us Bradley Manning is a hero - a courageous whistleblower who followed his conscience and laid bare the horrendous crimes and machinations of a criminal regime. The U.S. media, however, has attempted to portray him as a disturbed and angry gay man, who betrayed his country as the result of a romantic break-up.
This crowd clearly didn't buy the lie. One group of celebrants along the parade route began dancing and singing "Bradley Manning: Waaayyy OUT for Justice!"
Honolulu's Pride Parade is the first of many that will be held across the country during the month of June (and beyond). World Can't Wait Hawai`i is encouraging Bradley's supporters in other cities to build their own contingents in their parades to spread the slogan and build support for his case at these parades and celebrations, and have a lot of fun as well. Based on our experience, we expect they'll receive an enthusiastic response.

TSA Thug Grabs Crotch Of Wounded Vet:
"TSA Morons Who Have Proven Themselves Prone To Predatory, Perverted And Criminal Behavior Have No Place In A Free Society"
May 27, 2011 Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet.com
Two injured US military veterans traveling to a ceremony to honor the lives of fallen friends who gave their lives to protect the rights enshrined in the Constitution were harassed by TSA thugs, with one of them having his crotch grabbed, according to David Bellow, an Army National Guardsman and a State Republican Executive Committeeman.
"One of the wounded warriors, a friend of mine who personally told me what happened, has bullet fragments in his leg. The other wounded warrior has shrapnel in his face," wrote Bellow on the Texas GOP Vote website.
The TSA agents responded to the men having set off metal detectors by interrogating them about what they were hiding in their bodies.
"What are you hiding in your face?" screamed one.
"My friend told me that one TSA agent came up to him and asked what he was hiding in his leg, but before my friend could answer he said that the TSA agent grabbed him, without notice, right in the crotch area as if trying to find something hidden," writes Bellow.
When the TSA goon grabbed his crotch and didn't let go, the veteran felt inclined to lash out violently but was somehow able to control his fury.
This story is just one of hundreds if not thousands of examples that underscores the fact that low-grade TSA morons who have proven themselves prone to predatory, perverted and criminal behavior have no place in a free society.
Airports need to act now by kicking out the TSA and replacing them with private security.
But it's not just airports that are being manned by this cadre of cretins - sports stadiums, prom nights, highways, bus terminals and train stations are all being patrolled by this literal occupying army that is turning America into a checkpoint-festooned police state.
Efforts in Texas to pass a law that would have made TSA groping a felony, scuttled at the last minute by a threat of financial terrorism on behalf of the feds that would have imposed a no fly zone over the state, are now being replicated nationwide as the growing resistance movement against TSA tyranny accelerates.

"Tens Of Thousands" Of Iranians March Against The Government:
"The People's Anger And Resentment Against The Government Is Bottling Up, And It Will Erupt Without A Doubt"
JUNE 13, 2011 By FARNAZ FASSIHI, Wall St. Journal [Excerpts]
BEIRUT-Tens of thousands of Iranians marked the second anniversary of the 2009 turbulent presidential elections that sparked an uprising with a nationwide silent march against the government on Sunday.
In Tehran about 15,000 people congregated along the capital's famous Vali Asr Avenue, historically the scene of opposition protests, on late Sunday afternoon, quietly marching up and down the sidewalk, witnesses said. Similar protests were planned in other cities.
Security forces, in uniform and plain clothes, lined the streets trying to disperse the crowd, according to witnesses. On several occasions, antiriot police attacked protesters with electric batons and plain-clothes Basij militia on motorcycles screamed slurs at the crowd to provoke them, according to witnesses.
Opposition websites reported that at least 100 people had been arrested in Tehran by being shoved into buses and driven to unknown locations. Internet and mobile networks were disrupted throughout the day in Tehran and other big cities, and journalists were banned from covering the event.
On Sunday a political activist and journalist Reza Hoda Saber, 52, died from heart complications due to a hunger strike in Evin prison where he was serving a jail sentence since July 2010. Mr. Saber's family said authorities refused to give them his body, and security forces had besieged family and friends gathered outside the hospital where Mr. Saber died.
Sunday's protest was the first time since March that the Green Movement opposition had called its supporters to the streets.
Since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected amid accusations of vote fraud in 2009, Iran's regime has been deeply fractured. Two years on, the regime faces two political battles: a power struggle within the conservative establishment over control and a legitimacy crisis with the public.
Although the government's systematic crackdowns have handicapped the Green Movement and reduced its street presence, analysts say the opposition is still alive and waiting for momentum and opportunity.
"The people's anger and resentment against the government is bottling up, and it will erupt without a doubt," said Fatemeh Haghighatjoo, a political analyst and former parliament member.
On the eve of the protest on Saturday night, chants of "God is great" and "Death to dictator" shouted from rooftops rocked many neighborhoods across Tehran, witnesses said. Some targeted Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei shouting, "Khamenei knows his time is up."
But on Sunday witnesses said protesters respected the call to a silent march and would sometimes just flash a victory sign or whisper "Freedom" as they walked passed each other.
"We tried to stay calm and proud. You could feel the security forces were desperate because they didn't know what to do with us," said Rayhaneh, a 22-year-old college student in Tehran.

The recent events illustrate the scale and the complexity of the problems China's leaders face amid public anger over issues including land and labor rights, corruption, inflation, property prices, and scandals over food and the environment.
JUNE 13, 2011 By JEREMY PAGE in Beijing and JAMES T. AREDDY in Shanghai, Wall St. Journal [Excerpts]
A man set off at least one bomb outside a local government headquarters in northeastern China, state media reported, the latest in a spate of violent incidents that highlight growing public anger at official corruption and abuse of power.
The blast, in the port city of Tianjin, slightly injured two people, the state-run Xinhua news agency said.
Some state media reports said the man, identified only by his surname, Lin, was carrying 20 handmade bombs-each roughly the shape of a soda can-and had thrown four of them at the government building in Tianjin, about 60 miles east of Beijing. The reports didn't make clear how many of the bombs had exploded, or give further details. Local officials contacted declined to comment.
It was the third explosion at government facilities over the past three weeks.
The attack occurred just over two weeks after a 52-year-old man identified as Qian Mingqi was blamed for three blasts in the city of Fuzhou in the southern province of Jiangxi. Mr. Qian, who was killed in one of the blasts, had expressed frustration in an Internet posting over his inability to win redress for an "illegally removed" building in 2002 and threatened: "I could take action I don't want to take."
Police have also faced violent unrest among migrant street vendors in one southern city and among residents of another city in central China in the last few days.
The unrest comes as China's government, unnerved by Mideast unrest, is in the midst of a sustained crackdown on dissent ahead of a once-a-decade leadership change next year.
Incidents of unrest used to be concentrated in rural areas, experts say, but are increasingly happening in cities, too.
The series of blasts at government facilities are especially worrying for China's leaders as explosives-chemicals for which are widely available across the country-are not frequently used in such protests and could trigger copycat attacks, analysts say.
The recent events illustrate the scale and the complexity of the problems China's leaders face amid public anger over issues including land and labor rights, corruption, inflation, property prices, and scandals over food and the environment.

To the editor:
A suggestion for Father's Day June 15: give your WWII, Korean War or terminally ill veteran father or grandfather the gift of a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit monuments dedicated to their honor.
Honor Flight Syracuse will transport these veterans free of charge. Later era veterans will go on future missions. So far, 148 veterans from Central New York, Northern New York and the Mohawk Valley have experienced the one-day mission to date.
Mission 004 is scheduled for Oct. 4, 2014.
You give the gift by getting an application from honorflightsyracuse.org and helping your veteran complete it and send it.
A guardian accompanies each veteran. The guardian needs to be able-bodied and physically capable of walking/pushing a wheel chair considerable distances. Honor Flight provides a wheel chair for each veteran. A guardian application needs to be completed and submitted with the veteran's. Family members (maximum age 65) are welcome to apply to be Guardians.
The veteran application asks many health-related questions, not to disqualify applicants, but to allow the staff of nurses on every flight to attend to each veteran's specific health needs.
The return flight is greeted by a Syracuse reception that can never be forgotten. It is indeed the best gift your veteran will ever have.
No dad or grandpa veteran to give it to? You can give it to a lady veteran or a friend.
I was fortunate to go on unforgettable Mission 002.

On Tuesday evening, the Sanford-Fritch Lady Eagles hosted their first home game of the season to the Lady Cats of Sunray.
Sanford-Fritch started out holding their ground and sitting with a 6-0 run early. Sunray quickly took a timeout to settle their team. Sanford-Fritch continued to control the game the entire quarter.
The second quarter the Lady Cats tried to get composure and began scoring and taking advantage of Sanford-Fritch's early foul trouble. Big rebounds and many second chance shots helped Sunray close the gap and halftime score SF 32 Sunray 28.
Sunray's team came back out on court after half with great determination. A big 3 point by Senior Kelsey Taylor gave Sunray their first lead.
It was a back and forth battle and at 4:47 left in 3rd quarter, sophomore Christa White hit two free throws to give Sanford-Fritch the lead back. More missed opportunities and more fouls kept the score even. Quarter finally ended tied up at 41.
Endurance and fatigue started to set in for Sanford-Fritch early in fourth quarter. Two starters for Sanford-Fritch fouled out -Mikala Setliff and Mariah Cumings.
Sunray had exceptional free throw shooting to keep the score relatively equal.
Christa White hit a big 3 point shot and a Kelsey Ham steal let Sanford-Fritch sneak back in the lead, for the last time, at 50-47.
The Lady Eagles kept fouling and Giving up rebounds would put them in a situation of a must score three pointer to tie the game.
A timeout with :19 left SF had the ball, and a beautiful two point banker from Judd wouldn't be enough to tie the game and Sunray would hold out the final seconds to win in a heartbreaker over the Lady Eagles 57-56.
Lady Eagles stats: Christa White 16 pts; 5 rbds; 2 ass; 2 stl
Jacy Judd 15 pts; 3 rebds
Mikala Setliff 8 pts; 2 rebds; 1 steal

SOTA from Gatineau Park with Tom VA2EPR
Last Saturday, Tom VA3EPR and myself activated Summits On The Air summit VE2/OU-003 (McKinstry Peak) located in Gatineau Park.
We had posted an alert indicating that we would be on the air from 1500Z (11am). We had arranged a sked with some other peaks on 40m at 1600Z (12pm). I got confused 😳 and I thought that 1500Z was actually 10am local time and 1600Z was 11am. Consequently I missed my sked 😥 … but we did both manage a summit to summit contact anyway 😎
J-Pole Experiment
We arrived at the Luskville falls trail-head at 8:15am with plenty of time to reach the summit. I was trying an experiment today. I knew that the digipeaters were 80-100km distant and especially difficult on the face of the escarpment, so I decided to try a roll-up J-pole. I mounted it on two sections of fiberglass fishing pole on the side of my backpack. This experiment enjoyed mixed success. The J-pole kept catching on tree branches (not surprising really!) but on the other hand, the extra gain of this antenna meant that the digipeaters heard me very well, even on the upper portion of the escarpment face. I did figure out that collapsing the fiberglass in the most heavily forested areas was possible.
The Video!
(Press the 'Play' icon in the center to view)
Climb Up
The trail climbs 800ft up the face of the Eardley Escarpment, first passing the Luskville falls then a short steep scramble climbs up to the pontiac lookout. I found that VE3TST was the strongest repeater from the trailhead so I dialled that repeater in for the climb. Part way up, I heard a call from Jim VE3XJ who is an Ottawa Valley QRP Society member, it's been a while since I've spoken with Jim so it was a welcome QSO. Shortly thereafter, Ante VA2BBW figured out the CTCSS tone and joined Jim and I on the repeater.
A comedy of errors!
We managed to complete the 800ft climb to the fire tower in 1 hour, we got there by 9:20am and (since my brain was not working) I thought that we only had 40 minutes to get to the summit and get on the air. Actually we had 1 hour 40 minutes… 😳 Suddenly I realized that I had left my spare H/T battery at home, so I had only one battery to last all day… 😳 So I decided to select low power. But I couldn't remember how much power the different levels represent. I chose to set the radio to the L1 setting. Jim and Ante had trouble hearing me. Not surprisingly! When I got back to the house I checked and L1 is 0.05W (1/20th of a watt!) … 😳 . Serious QRP! 😎
The Hike
It's a 2.5km hike along Ridge Road (trail #1) from the fire tower to McKinstry cabin and the summit lies ½km further along the trail. The ridge road trail is mixed use, in Summer it is mostly used by mountain bikers. The trail passes by a beautiful lake which I didn't notice on the way in but which I spotted on the way out. Maybe a place to swim? Perhaps not. As we walked towards the summit, we saw hundreds of dragonflies sunning themselves on the road. Hmm, what do dragonflies eat? There must be a lot of dragonfly food up here. erm… dragonfiles eat mosquitoes! The mosquitoes were horrendous. Both Tom and I liberally applied DEET and I still got bitten many times.
Activation Zone
The VE2/OU-003 summit is at 422m and the VE2 SOTA association manual allows for operation within 25m of the summit. The ridge road trail intersects the southern limit of the 400m contour line and this portion of the trail is therefore valid for a SOTA activation. This is a good thing for two reasons. (1) The summit is heavily forested, it would not be possible to get a horizontal antenna up at the summit. (2) The Eardley Escarpment is a fragile ecology; It is a unique microclimate. The southern exposure and lack of moisture produce the growth of atypical plants for this area and a recent study (the Gatineau Park Ecosystem Conservation Plan) places the summit in the "Integral Conservation Zone" so we don't want to undertake a damaging bushwhack.
Playing Radio
I had prepared two W3EDP antennas for Tom and myself (84′ of wire with a pair of 16′ and 32′ counterpoise wires). I used fishing weights and nylon string and I was able to get Tom's antenna up as an end-fed inverted-vee with the center at 45′ and my own up as an inverted-L at 50′. This is the highest I have been able to get antennas… ever and I think it's the fishing weights which made all the difference. The only reason that we were able to get the antennas up so high was because we used tall trees lining the sides of the trail. We set our stations a few feet into the bush to not get in the way of the mountain bikers.
We arrived at the zone at 10:05 local and we were set up and on the air around 10:30 local. My brain wasn't working and I thought that we were half an our late (we alerted for 1500Z) and we had half an hour until our S2S skeds (planned for 1600Z) but of course I was confused 😳 . Actually we beat our alerted time by 30 minutes and we had an hour and a half before our sked.
I spent some time with Tom at the beginning and did some listening around to kill time before our sked. Then an hour early ( 😳 ) I spent a half hour calling CQ on 7.032MHz and never got any replies while Tom was operating on 20m. I heard Tom stop calling CQ on 20m at 1530Z so I QSYed up to 20m and made a super quick series of contacts with fellow SOTA activators and chasers and the icing on the cake was a summit to summit QSO with Chuck K4QS who was up on The Pinnacle (W4/SH-005), a Summits on the Air Summit in Shenandoah Park, Virginia. Excellent!
Since this was Tom's first SOTA outing, I really wanted him to experience Summit-to-Summit so I dropped my radio the instant I signed with Chuck and dashed over to Tom's position. Just as Tom got him tuned in, he quit, so I went back to my station and left 20m to Tom. I tuned back to 40m and who was there but Chuck! Cool! I popped off a quick QRPSPOTS SMS to alert the chaser community and then I dashed back to Tom's locartion. This time, Tom was able to get Chuck in his log – Yay!!
A break for lunch and then back to the radio, but my QSO rate dropped considerably after lunch.
Band conditions were a bit strange. I was hearing all stations very strong both on 20m and 40m. But invariably my signal report was terrible, RST 339 being typical. Didn't seem to matter which states. That's rather odd – more absorption on signals travelling South vs signals travelling North? Maybe I should check my finals with a power meter 😎 Still thanks to the hard work of the chasers, I did manage to get 10 QSOs into the log.
The Return Trip
The clouds started to come over and they were looking rather gray. Forecast was for rain starting at 4pm local time so Tom and I bugged out at 2:30pm. On the way back, Tom mentioned that the June ARRL VHF contest was underway so when we reached the edge of the escarpment, I raised my J-pole to maximum extension and put out a call on 146.520MHz. I got a call back from Jamie VA3JME, he was driving through Almonte, Ontario heading for the West Carleton Club's VHF contest site. He was RST 53 over a 40km path, not bad. He mentioned that WCC were monitoring 146.580MHz so I put out a few calls there but never heard any reply.
We made good time back to the car and the rain started when we got back home.
We both had a super fun time activating VE2/OU-003, despite the bugs 😆
|Thanks Marc, Hope to work you when you are /P in Éire some day!
|Super signal!
|Nice to work you again, Jack!
|Thanks, Scott. I love your Wilderness QRP website!
|Nice to work a fellow activator…
|Thanks for S2S, Chuck. Hope you had fun on the Pinnacle W4/SH-005
|Another fellow activator
|Hmm, I *think* this was 40m… correct me if wrong please!
|Nice long QSO, Thanks Will.
|Thanks Phil!

FB FB video again Martin. Congrats for your successfull activations. Welcome to Tom. I did copy stations calling VA2EPR but did not copy Tom. By the way, Martin, 40 was horrible, no chance at all to make contact there.
Glad to hear that the route worked out ok. It is a bit steep at times but it gets you onto the escarpment pretty quickly and it is just a short jaunt to McKinstry after that. The other route from P13 really needs a Mtn Bike otherwise it is a pretty long hike on foot. I have XC-Skied it many times and it makes for a pretty tiring day. Michael VE3WMB
Was a fantastic day for me radio wise. I indirectly participated in 5 amateur radio events that day counting my contact with you as number 3. I was running 35W from my mobile, and you were full scale into Almont. I love your blog, keep it up! Hopefully some day I can come along and witness a SOTA first hand.
Martin and Tom, Thanks for the summit to summit QSOs. Notice my sending stumbled a little at the end of the QSO in the video. I was swatting black flies at the time. How funny to hear what that sounded like on the receive end.
72 & 73, Chuck K4QS
Martin – TNX 2-way QRP QSO from your campsite. Sounds like a great time. 73 Mike

Grace Evora was born on February 2, 1969, on the island of Sao Vicente in Cape Verde. Since childhood Grace has displayed an immense interest in music both as a singer and drummer. Thanks to a musically gifted family, which is highly respected within the Cape Verdean music industry, it is no surprise that this talented musician and singer has reached such stardom.
At a young age Grace and his parents emigrated to Paris for a short time, and then took permanent residency in Rotterdam, Holland. Grace's big break came in 1989, when he was invited to play drums with the group Livity. This opportunity lead to a number of appearances with other groups such as Rabelados, Koladance, Cabo Verde Show and Splash!. When Livity approached Grace he was already established as a reputable drummer.
As luck would have it, the band decided to allow Grace to record one song entitled "Bia" on their second release. This song which represented the sensual and sentimental side of Grace immediately captured an audience that resulted in him becoming a solo artist.
Grace has released three Compact Discs titled "Total Love I, Total Love II" and finally, the much anticipated "Romance". In 1999, Grace collaborated with RB Records, Inc. to release "Romance". RB Records, Inc. from a label perspective decided to align Grace with recognized Cape Verdean musicians as well as allowing him the very best in production and engineering.

YIELD: Serves 4 to 6
IngredientsGinger Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, the thickness of a thumb, peeled and minced
- 1 soft to gushy peach, halved, pitted, and thinly sliced
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Soda water, to fill
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
To make the syrup, in a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and ginger over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, cover, and steep at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger, pressing all the flavor out of the ginger with the back of a spoon against the sieve. Transfer to a jar or other storage container, cover, and refrigerate until well chilled.
Evenly distribute the peach slices among the glasses. Carefully smash the peaches with the end of a wooden spoon to release their juice. Pour about 2 tablespoons chilled syrup over the peaches in each glass. (The remaining syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.) Add ice cubes and then top off each glass with soda water. Mix each drink with a straw or spoon to distribute the syrup, peach juices, and peach bits evenly. Float a few mint leaves on each serving, then serve immediately (especially on really hot days).

An observation about "the rules"
October 25 2011 at 3:30 AM
I attended the California State Championship match this last weekend, and it was stated to be run strictly according to AAFTA rules.
I asked several competitors and the acting officers, and none claimed to have a copy of those rules on hand, nor, more importantly, had any acknowledged to have recently READ the rules.
My point though, is this is nothing really new! Folks that come here and post about new rules we need are not usually very knowledgeble of the existing rule details, yet they are able to generally able to compete successfully in, and even routinely conduct regular matches with no reference whatsoever to these rules DURING the matches, rather instead, they simply follow the lead and general practices of a few of the others involved at the event.
Not sayin rules are needed, but I AM saying that since we don't pay them much heed AT MATCHES, maybe we mostly only "need" em HERE?

Rules are often Meaningless when the Existing Ones aren't Enforced/Adhered to or worse yet

One of the primary summer chores for all of the Gardner children was to "turn the bales." A favorite pastime to avoid work was to swim in the "watering trough". Mind you this was not a lake, this was a small tank used to store mossy water for the cattle to drink, and not the cleanest sight on the farm. Rulon has great memories of getting wet, but it was not fun when dad had to stop his work to track down his helpers!
Wintertime also involved many chores. Once Rulon and his brother Reynold were in high school, they shared the responsibility of milking cows, feeding cows and calves, chopping grain, scrapping the yard, and other chores. More than once Reynold and Rulon would decide it was a good idea to wrestle to see who had to do the most chores
At the end of each summer, after fair, when the crops were in, the Gardners would take a family trip to Salt Lake City. When Rulon was six years old, he had been taken to Lagoon (an amusement park) with his four older brothers and was instructed to stay with his brothers; mom would be back before dark. When it started to get late, Rulon decided he was tired and wanted to go back to the motel. At this point Rulon began a 25-mile hike, along the interstate, to the motel. His mom contacted the police who found Rulon walking along the median, headed to "my motel in Salt Lake." Rulon had no fear, he just wanted to get back to the motel to take a nap.
While in 3rd grade Rulon was proud to show his class a couple of new arrows the neighbor had given him. After showing the class, Rulon was putting the arrows away, and he dropped one. While picking it up, Rulon punctured his abdomen with one of the other arrows. Mom and dad were out of town, so Marcella (in 6th grade) took Rulon across the fence to the emergency room. Dr. Perkes commented that Rulon had just missed puncturing something vital; Rulon was stitched up and returned to school.
School did not come easy for Rulon. Rulon struggled with reading speed and comprehension. With the help and support of his family, Rulon was able to complete his schoolwork. Most school nights found Rulon after 10 p.m. lying on mom's bed while mom read his books to him, and then assisted him with his assignments. With a great deal of frustration, Rulon successfully completed high school, and gained a wrestling scholarship to attend Ricks College. From Ricks College, Rulon received a Division 1 scholarship to wrestle for the University of Nebraska.
Rulon's wrestling career began when he was six years old. For one week every year, Star Valley would have a wrestling camp, which always concluded with a tournament on the weekend. Rulon participated in this from six years old until he started junior high school at 12 years old. Rulon began a regular wrestling season while in junior high and continued with the wrestling seasons until he graduated from the University of Nebraska.
Rulon is very proud of graduating from the University of Nebraska with a degree in physical education. After graduating from the University of Nebraska, Rulon continued his Olympic wrestling pursuit with full-time dedication. Winning the Gold in Sydney did not come without dedication and sacrifice. Rulon has sacrificed much in order to reach his Olympic aspirations.
Rulon has experienced wins as well as losses in his life. Rulon has never dwelled on the negatives in his life; instead he takes each challenge and uses it as a means to improve his life.
Born August 16, 1971 in Afton, Wyoming, Rulon Gardner is the youngest of nine children born to Reed and Virginia Gardner. Raised on a dairy farm, where they grew crops and milked cows twice a day, there was never a shortage of work to be done, and Rulon was taught to work hard at a young age. When he was big enough to see over the tall barley, Rulon was taken, along with his siblings, to the field to help move the sprinkler pipe, or as his dad always said "it is time to move the water." On many occasions, Rulon and his siblings were lost in the grain, but only for short periods of time before dad found them.

The purpose of the lab rotations is to get experience in specific laboratories that will eventually lead to the choice of a thesis laboratory. Such experience goes far beyond learning techniques; it is an opportunity for the student to determine whether he/she is compatible with the lab and the mentor. Rotations also provide the student with the opportunity to explore areas in which she/he may have interest but no direct research experience. Students are required to do a minimum of three different lab rotations, and a student can do additional rotations if necessary to find a compatible lab for thesis research. Of the three rotations, at least one project must be working in a "wet lab".
The minimum period for a rotation is 11 weeks, and students are expected to spend a minimum of 25 hours per week in their rotation lab. One rotation may be done in the summer before the beginning of the first year or during the summer between the first and second years. The first rotation begins during the final week in September, the second during the first week in January, and the third during the last week in March. Thus, in the 2011-2012 academic year, there will be one 11 week rotation in the fall term, which must start no later than September 26th, and two 11-week rotations in the spring, the first starting no later than January 3rd and the second starting March 27th.
All rotations are arranged between the student and the faculty mentor and are subject to approval by the Graduate Group Chair and the Advising Committee. New students should begin thinking about their first rotation before arriving at Penn. Once at Penn, these choices should be explored by talking to students and conferring with the Advising Committee. The students should then make a short list of faculty with whom they wish to work and set up appointments to talk to the faculty about their research, possible rotation projects and the possibility of working in their laboratories. When a rotation is agreed upon the student and faculty member should meet to discuss and clearly define the goals of the project. A description of the project should be sent to the graduate group coordinator for the student's file, and the project should commence as soon as possible. During the first rotation the student should begin planning subsequent rotations. Upon completion of a rotation, the rotation advisor must submit a grade and a written evaluation of the student's performance.

Most secret societies get their members from specific families. In a lot of cases they split the core at an early age and mind control you for their specific needs. Trust me you do not want to go anywhere near these methods. Here is some specific reading on the subject:

In a federal antitrust case brought by restaurant owners against American Express, the Supreme Court agreed on November 9 to decide "whether the Federal Arbitration Act permits courts, invoking the 'federal substantive law of arbitrability,' to invalidate arbitration agreements on the ground that they do not permit class arbitration of a federal law claim."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in Italian Colors Restaurant v. American Express Travel Related Services Co., had refused to enforce the class action waiver in the American Express arbitration agreement on the ground that it would effectively preclude the plaintiffs from prosecuting their federal antitrust claims. The subsequent denial of American Express' motion for en banc review spurred vigorous dissents by the Second Circuit's Chief Judge and four other judges, increasing the likelihood that the Supreme Court would grant review.
The Second, Third, and Ninth Circuits disagree with the Second Circuit on whether the "vindication of statutory rights" theory is viable in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion in 2011. There, the Supreme Court held that the Act preempts state laws that refuse to enforce class action waivers in consumer arbitration agreements as unconscionable or against public policy. The panel in American Express had concluded that Concepcion did not preclude them from refusing to enforce the class action waiver because the plaintiffs had shown that to prosecute their claims, they would be required to hire an expert who would charge exponentially more than the plaintiffs' potential recovery, and those expert fees could not be recovered under the Sherman Act even if the plaintiffs prevailed in individual arbitrations.
By contrast, the Second, Third, and Ninth Circuits have ruled that Concepcion is broadly written and that the Act requires enforcement of an arbitration agreement's class action waiver, despite arguments that the plaintiffs would be unable to vindicate their statutory rights without a class action because their claims were worth much less than the cost of litigating them. Indeed, the Third Circuit, in another case brought by consumers against American Express, Homa v. American Express Co., held that "[e]ven if Homa cannot effectively prosecute his claim in individual arbitration, that procedure is his only remedy, illusory or not … Though some persons might regard our result as unfair, 9 U.S.C. § 2 requires that we reach it. In this regard, we point out that when Congress makes a law the court must enforce the law as Congress has written it regardless of the court's view of the law."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor took no part in the order granting certiorari, probably because she was a member of the Second Circuit panel that heard the case in an earlier appeal. The Supreme Court is expected to rule in the spring of 2013.
The grant of certiorari in Italian Colors shows that the Supreme Court continues to be extremely interested in arbitration issues. Over the past several decades, it has issued more than 30 major opinions dealing with arbitration. Ballard Spahr has been honored to participate in many of those cases on behalf of the parties or amici curiae.

WINTHROP Gardeners gathered Saturday at Elliotts Agway to swap seeds and talk about how to grow vegetables, herbs and flowers.
I dont know that much about gardening, but one of the reasons I put this together is to learn from gardeners in the area, said coordinator Jeremiah L. Curtis, Winthrop. Its a good way to get to know my neighbors and learn a little bit about how not to do foolish things.
Last year, at the first year of the seed exchange, Mr. Curtis heard an idea about splitting his garden in two and keeping chickens on one half one year and then switching them to the other side so that they scratch up weeds and fertilize the ground.
I did that, he said.
The exchange also gives gardeners a chance to pick up free seeds.
People bring seeds and take seeds, Mr. Curtis said. It turns out most people take seeds, which is fine because I solicited donations.
Packets of Early Red Chief tomato, Chantenay Red Core carrots, Wetheresfield red onion, China Rose Colored winter radish, Early Purple Milan turnip and Black Seeded Simpson lettuce lined tables while the conversation lingered on pH levels and planting dates. Oregano, lovage, leeks and celeriac were available. Black raspberry brambles were free for the digging.
People are finally seeing the value of food, said Lisa M. Wicks, a visitor from Hoosick.
This years seed swap is the kickoff event for a series of rural skills workshops of the Sustainable Living Project for beginning gardeners.
The workshops will follow a seasonal theme, from starting seedlings indoors to composting, said Krystal A. White, education and outreach coordinator. The fall might include workshops on canning.
The Sustainable Living Projects third Local Living Festival will be in April 2013.
Were on an 18-month schedule now, said Chelle S. Lindahl, one of the coordinators. That way, we can catch the different seasons.
Elizabeth C. Miller, Winthrop, said she came to the seed swap to be a part of her community and to see what kinds of seeds were brought. Mrs. Miller said she is concentrating this year on expanding her garden into small fruits, such as blueberries and currants.
I think theres a shortage of good organic fruit in the north country, she said. We like to avoid fruit thats been shipped in.
Marilynn G. Lane, Brasher Falls, left with seed packages of forget-me-nots, beets, cucumbers and marigolds. She grew a garden for the first time in many years last summer.
I enjoyed it so much I thought Id do it again, she said.
Janet T. St. Pierre said she wished more people gardened, even if it were in containers.
We love it. We like to garden more than we like to eat it, she said of herself and her husband, Mark E. St. Pierre. Were big gardeners, but you dont have to be big gardeners to get a lot out of it.

• IAAF World Junior Championships
MADISON, Wis. -- For a few days at least, the world is Austin Mudd's stage.After an extremely successful debut season for the Badgers, the Wisconsin freshman is set to wrap up his first collegiate campaign by competing for the United States this week at the 2012 IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain.Mudd will wear the Red, White and Blue as one of two Americans competing in the men's 1500 meters, with the preliminary round of competition set for 3:05 a.m. (CT) on Tuesday.With a personal-best time of 3 minutes, 40.87 seconds, Mudd enters the competition ranked No. 8 among the 35 athletes schedule to race in the opening round. He holds the third-fastest seed time in his heat, but trails the No. 2 seed by just one hundredth of a second.The top three finishers in each of the three preliminary heats, as well as the next three fastest overall times, will advance to the 12-man final set for 2:30 p.m. (CT) on Thursday.The top seed in Mudd's heat is also the fastest man in the field, Hamza Driouch of Qatar. He holds a personal-best time of 3:33.69 that ranks No. 16 in the world this year. Driouch also has a world-class effort of 3:50.90 in the mile under his belt from last month's Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway, where he finished eighth in the Diamond League event.Mudd ran his personal-best time to win his heat of the 1500 at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational in April. He then recorded a time of 1:47.59 -- which ranks No. 3 in UW history -- to finish 11th at the NCAA championships and earn second-team All-America honors in June. Mudd followed that performance a week later by claiming his second-consecutive U.S. junior title to secure his spot on the world junior team.Now, Mudd looks to become the Americans' first-ever medalist in the 1500 meters. The U.S. has twice placed an athlete fifth in the event -- Jason Pyrah in 1988 and Gabe Jennings in 1998 -- but has never cracked the top three.Mudd is the fifth athlete from the Wisconsin men's program to compete at an IAAF world junior championships and gives the Badgers a representative for the third-consecutive event. Former Badger Evan Jager claimed an eighth-place finish in the 1500 in 2008, while current UW junior Mohammed Ahmed was fourth in the 10,000 meters during his freshman season.Both Ahmed and Jager will compete in this summer's Olympic Games in London.Demi Omole is the only UW athlete to medal at a world junior meet, scoring silver in the 100 meters and contributing to the U.S.'s gold-medal effort in the 4x100 relay in 2004. That relay effort of 38.66 seconds still stands as the American junior record.The IAAF world junior championships features the top athletes from around the world under the age of 20. A total of 180 nations will be represented in Barcelona, with competition running Tuesday through Sunday.

Welcome to the Killer Bunnies Website
We are a new mature, 18+ Kinship, welcoming all classes and levels.
The name of the kinship was inspired by the film The Holy Grail, by Monty Python. In the film, King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are led to the Cave of Caerbannog by Tim the Enchanter, and find that they must face down both the Rabbit and the Black Beast. The Cave of Caerbannog ("caer bannog" being Welsh for "turreted castle") is the home of the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh. This is guarded by a monster which is initially unknown. King Arthur and his knights are led to the cave by Tim the Enchanter, and find that they must face down its guardian beast. Tim verbally paints a picture of a terrible monster with "nasty, big, pointy teeth!", so terrifying that Sir Robin soils his armour. When the guardian appears to be an innocuous white rabbit, surrounded by the bones of the fallen, Arthur and his knights no longer take it seriously. Ignoring Tim's warnings ("a vicious streak a mile wide!"), King Arthur orders Bors to chop its head off. Bors confidently approaches it, sword drawn, and is immediately decapitated by the rabbit to the sound of a can opener. Despite their initial shock, Sir Robin soiling his armor (again), and Tim's loud scoffing, the knights attack in force, but are driven to "run away!" as the rabbit leaps and attacks, killing Gawain and Ector. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is then used to defeat the beast and allow the quest to proceed.

|Television Stations to Test Digital Signals Wednesday
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Tuesday, 16 September 2008 12:48
It has been well publicized that in February, high-powered television stations will switch from their analog signal and broadcast exclusively in a digital format.
Many stations across the state will be testing their digital transmitters Wednesday, shutting down their analog signal for the duration of the test.
Beth Gordon, of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, said this test will be a good way for viewers to determine if they are prepared for the digital conversion.
The N.T.I.A. announced this test is voluntary for stations, it will occur during the 6:00 – 6:30 p.m. time block, and will last for 60 seconds.
Television stations taking part in this test include: WCNC-TV Charlotte, WJZY-TV Charlotte, and WSOC-TV Charlotte.
Remember, if televisions are connected to cable, or the television has an internal digital receiver, viewers will not be affected by the transition. Only television sets that don't have a digital receiver and get air signal through an antenna will need to be hooked up to a digital converter box.
Converter boxes start at around $40 and according to Gordon, the N.T.I.A. is helping distribute government coupons worth $40 to help viewers afford these boxes.
More information about these coupons can be found at www.dtv2009.gov.

Greater Atlanta Hadassah (GAH) will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hadassah, the largest women's, largest Zionist and largest Jewish membership organization in the United States, on Feb. 26, with an event at Greenfield Hebrew Academy featuring chef Tina Wasserman, author of the cookbook "Entrée to Judaism: A Culinary Exploration of the Jewish Diaspora."
The event will honor GAH Life Member Florence Kaplan Nathanson, one of the early Hadassah volunteer nurses who served in Israel for nine months in 1950, two years after it achieved statehood. Nathanson and five other nurses worked in a transit camp for new immigrants at Rosh Ha'Ayin, where she cared for malnourished Yemenite children who were sick with life-threatening illnesses.
Founded in 1912 by Henrietta Szold, Hadassah now has a worldwide presence. The organization's first mission was sending two nurses to Israel to provide pasteurized milk to infants and new mothers, and to eradicate trachoma, an easily cured eye disease. By 1918, Hadassah had sent an entire medical unit to bring American-style medical care to serve all in the region, regardless of race, creed, or ethnicity. This was the beginning of the Israeli healthcare system that today includes some of the world's leading research and treatment hospitals and schools of medicine and nursing.
In the U.S., Hadassah promotes health education, social action and advocacy, Jewish education, volunteerism and leadership skills, Young Judaea and connections with Israel. It's the relevancy of Hadassah's mission that has kept longstanding members involved and attracted new members throughout the years, in Atlanta and on the national level.
Buckhead resident and Hadassah life member Virginia Saul, 83, joined Hadassah as a young bride in 1950 and was acquainted with many of the women who started the Atlanta chapter in 1916.
"They were all great ladies, friends of my mother's," said Saul. "They were all leaders of the community," she said, mentioning such women as Annie Levy, Esther Taylor, Jean Benamy and Sara Alterman, whose names are familiar to longtime Atlantans.
Saul, who has enrolled her daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters as Hadassah life members, has twice been GAH president, in addition to serving in leadership positions in many other organizations. She said there was always some Hadassah activity that held her interest, such as study groups, book clubs and education, and the camaraderie of "smart, educated, dedicated women."
When she visits Israel, Saul is always proud to see her name listed among contributors to Hadassah Hospital, perhaps the most universally recognizable example of Hadassah's works. "It gives you a good feeling; you're helping the State [of Israel]," said Saul.
Hadassah life member Colleen Weston of Northwest Atlanta has served in local and regional leadership positions.
"Over fifty years ago, I joined Hadassah because its humanitarian programs appealed to me," Weston said. "As I learned about the Hadassah story, I was amazed that a small group of Jewish women had built a movement with such a rich history and had fostered a spirit of creativity and self-fulfillment for generations of women. I was influenced by Hadassah's intellectual leadership, the emphasis on Zionism and the American affairs advocacy program. Skills I learned were invaluable in both my personal and professional life, and life-long friendships evolved from meeting and planning sessions."
Added Weston, "Hadassah continues to inspire as an ever-changing organization, embracing the lifestyle and diversity of its membership, creating programs to develop skills required for the technology age, and charting a visionary path for the future."
GAH, only four years younger than the national organization, has nearly 3,100 members and associates. Groups are organized primarily around location, age, day or evening meeting preference, and profession. GAH sponsors a number of community-wide projects, programs and study groups including, among others, Act Against Osteoporosis, Check It Out! breast cancer detection program for high school girls, Chesed award program for Jewish day school and synagogue students, Date With the State annual meeting with Georgia legislators, Training Wheels Jewish education program for preschoolers, and an annual Mitzvah Day. GAH works in partnership with other Jewish and community-based agencies on a variety of programs.
"We're always involved in education and a connection to Israel," said Diane Munzer Fisher, the GAHpresident. "We provide diverse opportunities for people to participate in ways that are meaningful to them. We try to broaden the base [of members] and not assume all members will fit one profile."
Danielle Amdur, 37 and the mother of two school-age sons, is among the younger generation of women who have become active in GAH. When her paternal grandmother died, her grandfather made her a life member to carry on his wife's memory and Hadassah work.
"I realized the value of the organization and the connection I have to it and my grandmother," said Amdur. "Knowing that I'm carrying on my grandmother's legacy and also positively impacting so many lives keeps me connected to Hadassah."
Amdur is the project manager for the Feb. 26 anniversary event and has served on her group's board in several positions. Her involvement in Hadassah allows her to impact others in a positive way. "I judge the success of my day on how many people's lives I have positively touched," she said. "While some days that reach is purely within my family, I know that there will be other days that my impact will be greater. My involvement with Hadassah is so I can extend my reach and make a difference."
Amdur sees the importance of Hadassah's reach. "I'm enamored by what Hadassah does in the hospitals and in research. I'm most touched by the Youth Aliyah program. Hadassah is a mentor to so many people on how to bring the goodness back to the world. Hadassah doesn't care what color you are or where you came from. Everyone is seen as a human being."
GAH's Hadassah Centennial Celebration will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 26, at Greenfield Hebrew Academy, 5200 Northland Drive, Atlanta, Ga., 30342. The community is invited. Tickets are $36.00. For tickets or information about GAH, call (678) 443-2961 or visit www.atlanta.hadassah.org.
