Supreme Court of Pakistan's remarkable decision can change the future course of our country.
On Friday after a long delay of more than 4 hours SC of Pakistan gave a remarkable judgement of declaring the 3rd November 2007 as unconstitutional,illegal and extra judicial.
The 14 member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Ahmed Chaudhary who was restored by the government on 16 March 2009 after immense pressure from a long march by lawyers,civil society and politicians on Friday also rejected the unconstitutional amendments made by former dictator Musharraf during the time of emergency (between 3rd November 2007 and 15 December 2007).
SC sent the cases of those judges who violated the judgement of 7 member bench which declared 3rd November 2007 actions as unconstitutional and ordered the judiciary not to take oath under the PCO of dictator to Supreme judicial council.
Also the Supreme Court declared:
1) The sacking of judges by Musharraf on 3rd November as unconstitutional.
2) The removal of judges appointed during the PCO period and the Dogar period.
3) The tenure of Abdul Hameed Dogar (The PCO CJ appointed by Musharraf) as unconstitutional.
4) The increase in number of SC judges to 29 through finance bill by current parliament as unconstitutional.
5) The Islamabad High Court as unconstitutional and now after this decision all the judges of Islamabad HC are dismissed from their service.
6) The Ordinances issued by the dictator are referred to the parliament for review.
However in the decision SC did not change the status of :
1) The presidential oath taken by Dogar from Zardari.
2) The financial and administrative decisions taken by Dogar.
3) The cases related to day to day personal issues settled by the courts during that time.
One thing which didn't go in favor of the government apart from the removal of jiala judges is the change in status of NRO which was approved by the Dogar court is now a thing to be decided means people including or specially Zardari are now not indemnified from the cases of corruption.
The court has indeed played their part expected from them (people also expect more good news from them) and now the ball is in the court of the national parliament to show what they are capable of doing.
9 March,2009–>Join the Long March for the freedom and restoration of judiciary.
Dear Readers,
During the early period of Islam a woman of the Makhzoom family with good connections was found guilty of theft. For the prestige of the Quraish, some prominent people including Asama Bin Zaid interceded to save her from punishment. The Prophet refused to condone the crime and expressed displeasure saying, "Many a community ruined itself in the past as they only punished the poor and ignored the offences of the exalted. By Allah, if Muhammad's (my) daughter Fatima would have committed theft, her hand would have been severed.
The Qur'an says: "We sent aforetime our messengers with clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that men may stand forth in Justice." (Al-Hadeed 57:25). It is not only for the holy messengers of God, but this commandment has been for the people in general too. Qur'an commands: "O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to Piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do." (Al-Maidah 5:8).
As I am writing this hundreds of people are being killed, wounded, hunted, tormented, ill-treated, delivered up to the most intolerable and hopeless anxiety and destroyed morally and mentally, and there is nothing in sight at present to arrest this spreading process and prevent it from reaching us. It is spreading fast! It is time for the Pakistanis in general and youth especially to act and try to be part of the struggle initiated by honorable Chief Justice of Paksitan Iftikhar Muhammad chaudhary for independent judicial system in Pakistan. One "NO" on march 09, 2007 started an unprecedented process of social transformation at a massive level in Pakistan.
As the result of that process nation got rid from a military dictator and a new government established in Pakistan on the promise of undoing the wrongs done by the military regime. The new government led by Mr. Asif Ali zardari broke all promises and the leader of lawyer community Mr. Ali ahmed kurd has to call for another long march on March 09, 2009.
Together, we the people of Pakistan has successfully outset many military and cicivilain dictators before and this time again if united for a "Just" paksitan we can write a new history. Let us make a resulotion that we will not sit in rest till we got things in order in our country. Let us make this country of Peace, love, harmony and beauty. Let us start this with the first step of independent Judiciary.
Let me assure you if we run away from the disorder prevailing in our country now, it will follow and get us. We have to face it. We have to solve it, or be destroyed by it. It is as urgent and comprehensive as that.
I invite you all to be a part of this long march with your maximum energies and support. I have developed this web site for you all to provide a platform to discuss and share ideas for a better understanding to make this "LONG MATRCH" a "FINAL MARCH"
Yours in struggle for a Just Pakistan

March for Justice and Freedom
The nation has been fighting for more than a year for the noble cause of restoration of judiciary, for the cause of justice and rule of law.
The movement which started with a 'NO' to the dictator by the honorable CJ of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhary has now seems to be in the crucial stages and I also hope that it's in the final stages to the path of success.
Though the nation was fighting for the cause, giving lives and facing the brutality of government institutions some of our 'leaders' were busy in making deals outside the country, making decisions regarding the future of our country, taking dictations from imperialist powers on how to run the country and who should run the affairs of the state.
The movement would have achieved its goal immediately after the 18 Feb elections but it didn't because the lust of power and greed of our elected representatives who on the foreign dictation are delaying the issue, it seems they don't care what the people of Pakistan want, what is the need of time for the nation, where we have to take our future as a nation, what are our national objectives, how to safeguard the national integrity and honor, how to improve the lives of our people, how to get rid of the dictatorship and above all how to give confidence to the nation by respecting there mandate to restore the independent judiciary of 2nd November 2007 BUT they are busy in getting assurances from the Americans for the protection of their status as 'rulers of Pakistan'(or in-fact loyal servants of the USA).
When ever there is a chance of restoration of judiciary we see Americans arriving in Islamabad to meet our so called democratic leadership and then we see hypocritical statements by Mr. Zardari
such as:"We want to change the system it's not just about the restoration of few judges" or "Murree declaration was just a political statement "…
Now he has said,"We are ready to face the lawyers' movement".
The reason why our American 'masters' don't want their slaves to have an independent judiciary is that they want to protect their best asset in the country (the dictator who served them more than he served his nation) and cannot afford to lose him before 2008 presidential elections in USA because if CJP Iftikhar gets restored then it means a farewell to Musharraf and his anti-Pakistan policies and it will be serious set back for the Republican party in the elections who are banking on Musharraf to give them a breakthrough in our mountains and so they again will be able to use the same old fake war against terrorism in their elections.
Americans are very clever they always have a backup plan and that plan is now evident in the shape of PPP lead by Zardari and well assisted by people like Rehman Malik,Hussain Haqqani and the same old Mehmood Ali Durrani (former Pakistani ambassador and currently working as national security advisor to the PM) under the influence of NRO and under the umbrella of Dogar Lead judiciary .
Now we have to be really alert in this situation we not only have to protect our judiciary but also to safeguard our freedom, we have to cry out loud that we reject any foreign interference in our national affairs, we don't accept any involvement of USA in our judicial issue, we are a nuclear power and a free country we know how to take it on the path of success.
I appeal to the whole nation to think as sincere Pakistanis and join the long from Multan to Islamabad for the cause of Justice and Freedom.
Lawyers announce the date for long march(10 june)–>APDM to meet on 18 May
In All Pakistan lawyers convention, Pakistan bar council (PBC) has announced the date of long March for the restoration of judiciary .
The date decided with the mutual consensus is 10 th of June 2008 and according to SCBA president Aitzaz Ahsan the Chief Guest for the March will be the honorable genuine CJP Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary.
Lawyers have formed a committee to decide the future coarse of the movement.

was wrong, and that two wrongs don't make a right. The arguments don't really wash. It has been asserted in this space before that if a stay order issued
by the existing court is a real deterrent, then this entire debate is redundant. For the Dogar Court has already validated all the Nov 3 actions of the
general, including that of dismissing judges. Second, the rationale for restoring the Nov 2 judges is that the tenure of constitutionally appointed judges
is protected and they can only be removed pursuant to Article 209 proceedings, on the advice of the Supreme Judicial Council.

post-Nov 3 appointees, because they are not constitutionally appointed judges. The PPP, under the leadership of Mr Zardari, has refused to abide by this
majority opinion of the legal fraternity. Is it a coincident that the PPP has chosen to follow a minority and largely discredited legal opinion on the
proper mode of restoring judges pandered by the likes of Sharifuddin Pirzada and Hafiz Pirzada who are responsible in large part for our convoluted constitutional
jurisprudence? According to this opinion the general's unconstitutional actions cannot be undone without a constitutional amendment or else we will set
a legal precedent that will have horrendous consequences for the nation.
constitution by a dictator by use of force will automatically attract the protection of the constitution, and can only be undone by meeting the high threshold
set to amend the constitution. The idea that if judges are restored through an executive order, the executive will in future be able to do all sorts of
crazy things through executive orders is simply preposterous. The executive order will simply be reiterating the twin constitutional principles that that
under no circumstance can (i) the constitution be amended without a two-thirds parliamentary majority required by Article 239 of the constitution, and
(ii) constitutionally-appointed judges be removed without following the process mandated by Article 209.

party jeopardizing its mandate by flip-flopping on the judges' issue? A few explanations come to mind.
to the lawyers' movement and wanted some respite. It is possible that some explicit promises with regard to the PPP supporting the general against Chief
Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary were made part of this deal. As this deal was brokered by the general's western allies and supported by the UAE rulers — and
Mr Zardari duly credited the US for getting the general to shun his uniform on BB's insistence — PPP's current leadership might be convinced that reneging
on a promise made to the US and PPP's other foreign sponsors will carry more political cost than backtracking on a popular domestic issue and breaking
a promise made to the people of Pakistan.
part of the establishment, and the PML-N and its successor political forces comprised the establishment's B-team. And the PPP might have a point when it
complains that the judiciary has in the past applied the constitution more enthusiastically when the outcome favoured the PML-N as opposed to the PPP.
After March 9, 2007, however, the judiciary reluctantly decided to confront the egregiousness of the establishment and their divorce was finalized on Nov
3, 2007. Simultaneously, having learnt lessons from its time in exile and from suffering persecution at the hands of the Musharraf regime since Oct 12,
1999, the PML-N has also emerged as an anti-establishment party for the first time since its inception.
committed to the status-quo, and (ii) co-opting a 'reconciliation-seeking' PPP that can function as the political ally of the establishment and will be
allowed to rule in return within the four corners of policy areas delegated to political governments during democratic times. This is certainly not another
grand conspiracy theory. We can replace the word 'establishment' with the term 'status-quo forces'. The point being made is that the polity is undergoing
a structural transformation and the traditional actors that functioned as agents of status quo have opted to become forces of change.
political party of the country — to fill the pro-status quo slots that have opened up due to the coup of the judiciary and the PML-N, in return for being
treated as the favoured political entity by the establishment and overtly supported by the Dogar Court. The fact that the current PPP leadership is dominated
by individuals who have no popular roots in the masses and don't seem beholden to Bhuttoism or the ideology of 'roti, kapra aur makan' — which by definition
is pro-people and anti-establishment — exacerbates the danger of the PPP chewing on this bate. Would it not be a grave tragedy if the predominant lessons
that the PPP has learnt in its 40-year existence turns out to be that (i) the desires of the US administration must trump wishes of Pakistani people when
the two are in conflict, and (ii) not getting on the wrong side of the establishment even at the cost of compromising principles makes for better politics?
we as a nation will side with rule of law or politics of expediency. The return of judges will not function as elixir for all the maladies afflicting Pakistan.
But if we squander this opportunity it will take at least a decade to raise another breed of judges who might muster the courage to stand and fight to
liberate the judiciary from the crutches of the establishment.

interests. If our political elites fail to regain some of the lost ground in these circumstances, we might have to suffer another reckless dictator to
create overwhelming public support for such change.
For too long have we given too much credit (or discredit) to the 'forces that be' for controlling our fate. But returning our judges against the wishes
of the establishment and its foreign patrons, we could prove to ourselves that we are not puppets but a sovereign people who have control over our present

reporters following a comprehensive discussion regarding rising inflation, rule of law and political instability in the country.
Achakzai told reporters that the alliance had agreed to form a committee to work out a procedure by which apex and high court judges who were deposed by President Musharraf on November 3, 2007, might be reinstated. He argued that since Musharraf had openly admitted that his actions had been extra-constitutional there could be no legal justification for stalling the restoration any further.
Imran Khan continued by saying that the delay was nothing more than an attempt to protect the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) from being struck down, thus resurrecting criminal cases against government leaders such as Asif Zardari.
The APDM decided to address the 'judges' issue following the resignation of the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N), a member of the ruling coalition, from the cabinet. PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif chose to take the drastic step after failing to secure a solution to the problem during negotiations with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) who hold a majority of seats in the National Assembly. The resignation of key figures such as Minister of Finance Ishaq Dar has created problems for the new government, which is still struggling to cement its position and quell public concern over food inflation and the deteriorating law and order situation.

This policy is designed to define the standards, responsibilities and resources in place for all applying for professional graduate medical education (GME) programs of UPMCMEP. It is intended to eliminate any potential competition between or among programs for candidates from the same pool while: forging a central commitment that insures fairness; protecting the member institutions from any legal and resource risks inherent in any changes in a Federal program; and insuring UPMCMEP ability to successfully demonstrate full compliance with applicable authority and requirements for immigration and visa issues.
Executive Authority: Designated Institutional Official; Vice President, Graduate Medical Education
Procedure: Residents in UPMCMEP programs who are not United States citizens must have permanent resident status or an acceptable visa in order to participate in graduate medical education training. All International Medical Graduates (IMGs) of non-LCME medical schools must obtain ECFMG Certification prior to entry into any UPMCMEP residency/fellowship programs. ECFMG Certification provides assurance to residency programs and to the people of the United States that the IMG has met minimum standards of eligibility required to enter graduate medical education training programs. IMG candidates to UPMCMEP programs who are non U.S. citizens or permanent residents may be eligible for a number of non-immigrant visas acceptable for residency training in the Commonwealth (subject to change based on Federal laws).
The J-1 visa is limited to the length of a normal training program in the specialty for which the physician is being trained, as recognized by the ACGME. The overall time limit for a J-1 physician is seven years. Any physician who receives GME in J-1 status must return to his/her country for two years before being eligible for H status or permanent residence, unless a waiver of that requirement is granted.
Visa sponsored by the Employing InstitutionThis visa enables a beneficiary to stay in the U.S. for up to six years and apply for permanent residency in the interim. As part of the H-1B petition, the employer must make a number of attestations (See Appendix A). An H-1B petition may be filed for an IMG who, at minimum, is ECFMG certified, has successfully completed all three steps of the USMLE examination and obtains a valid graduate training license in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The administrative and financial costs and time associated with the H-1B visa may be significantly greater than for the J-1 visa, and the decision to support any visa other than the J-1 is within the purview and responsibility of the program and institution. (See Appendix A for the list of specific employer responsibilities for each visa type.)
Departments/Divisions, who choose to offer the H-1B visa option, must provide the GME office with the following:
Once the GME office confirms the candidate′s eligibility for the H-1B visa, the program will be responsible to:
All other requests for visas that may permit IMG′s, who are non-U.S. citizens to participate in GME training, must be reviewed by the GME Executive Director to confirm eligibility prior to selection or appointment of candidates. To ensure a successful process, it is imperative that the program works closely with the GME office. All applications and materials relating to the visa application will be processed and maintained through the GME office, including the required Public Examination File.
Name of H-1B Applicant: __________________________ Dept: _________________________
The Department will comply with the following regulations during the H-1B application process and during employment of the above-named foreign national under the terms of H-1B status. NOTE: Every box must be checked in order to indicate that the department will comply with each statement.
Pursuant to 28 USC 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the information provided on this form is true and correct. In addition, I declare that I will comply with the Department of Labor regulations governing this program.

Our Services
Conditions We Treat
At the Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, our surgeons perform a variety of minimally invasive and robotic procedures in order to correct many pediatric conditions.
Pediatric Surgery Procedures
Pediatric surgeons are able to perform a majority of pediatric surgical cases using laparoscopic, otherwise known as minimally invasive, techniques. These are a few of the most common.
An appendectomy refers to the removal of the appendix. The inflammation and infection of the appendix is the most common cause of emergency surgery in children. At Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, our surgeons perform about 500 appendectomies every year, and nearly all of them -- more than 99 percent -- are done using minimally invasive techniques.
A resection is the partial removal of an organ or other part of the body. Bowel resections frequently are done using minimally invasive methods.
An ileostomy is an operation in which the small intestine is attached to the abdominal wall. This surgery often is done minimally invasively.
Cholecystectomy is a surgery to remove the gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive way of doing this surgery.
Nissen fundoplication is a procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, as well as hiatal hernia.
Splenectomy is a procedure that partially or completely removes the spleen.
Urological Surgery Procedures
In pediatric urology, many conditions can be treated through minimally invasive surgery. Here are some of the conditions we see in Pediatric Urology and the surgeries that can fix them.
Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ Obstruction)
This is a condition where there is impaired drainage from one or both kidneys. It may be detected by swelling inside the kidney on prenatal ultrasound or can present with back pain, vomiting, or infection after birth. Pyeloplasty is an operation that fixes this blockage. Minimally invasive surgical options we offer correct this condition include robotic pyeloplasty or pure laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
Normally, the kidneys make urine and it only travels from the kidney down to the bladder. In children with vesicoureteral reflux, urine also travels from the bladder back up to the kidneys. This can result in kidney infections and permanent kidney damage or scarring. Minimally invasive surgical options we offer to correct this condition include subureteric injection (otherwise known as Deflux) and robotic ureteral reimplantation. Robotic ureteral reimplantation changes how the ureteral tunnels lie within the bladder so the urine no longer travels back to the kidney from the bladder.
Renal Duplication Abnormalities
Usually, kidneys have one ureter tube that drains the kidney. Sometimes, a kidney can have two separate parts with two different ureters that drain it. This can be associated with blockage of a portion of the kidney that can interfere with kidney function or cause infection or rarely incontinence, which is the inability to control one's urination. Minimally invasive surgical options we offer to correct renal duplication abnormalities include robotic partial nephrectomy (removing a portion of the kidney) and robotic or laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (attaching one ureter to another).
Urachal Abnormalities
The urachus is a connection between the bladder and the belly button that normally closes before birth. If it does not close or only partially closes, then urine may drain from the belly button or a cavity that is at risk for infection and possibly cancer in the future. We offer robotic or laparoscopic urachal excision as a minimally invasive surgical option to correct these conditions.
Undescended Testes
In boys, the testicles (or testes) start out in the abdomen (belly) and typically descend into the scrotum before birth. Sometimes they stop short; sometimes don't even make it out of the abdomen. This can place testes at risk for cancer and decreased fertility in the future. We offer laparoscopic orchiopexy as a minimally invasive technique to bring testes in the abdomen down to the scrotum where they belong.
Non-Functioning Dysplastic Kidneys
In either boys or girls, a kidney may not have developed properly during development. These non-functioning kidneys may lead to static urine -- Urine that stands still and is not eliminated effectively due to an obstruction or an inherent muscular problem with the bladder or ureters. As a result, the urine becomes stagnant and this increases the chances for infection. Static urine can cause pain, chronic infection, kidney stones, and rarely, high blood pressure. These unhealthy kidneys may be removed laparoscopically or robotically.
Renal Tumors
Abnormal growths in the kidney may be either benign or cancerous. Although rare in children, renal tumors may be removed successfully in a minimally invasive fasion either robotically or laparoscopically. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, either a partial nephrectomy or radical nephrectomy will be needed. When a partial nephrectomy is performed, only the tumor is removed. When a radical nephrectomy is performed, the entire kidney is removed.
Testicular Tumors and Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection
Certain types of testicular tumors require additional surgery to remove the lymph nodes that drain the testicle(s). These lymph nodes are found around the great vessels of the body. These vessels are located in the retroperitoneum (toward the back of the abdominal cavity). These lymph nodes can be removed laparoscopically or robotically.

Has Michael Chabon finally settled down, traded in his red cape for a pair of comfort-fit jeans? The last time we saw the celebrated hipster, he was chasing bandits around 10th-century Khazaria. Before that, he was solving a murder mystery in the Jewish state of Alaska. And his genre-blending, Pulitzer Prize-winning magnum opus, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay," still casts a superhero shadow over American literature.
But now, look, on the shelf — it's not a bird! It's not a plane! It's a domestic novel about the demands of being a father and running a small business. Instead of a cosmic battle against Nazis, the characters in his new book are working through the city council to fight gentrification. Even without spells of Jewish mysticism and Marvel heroics, we're racing through the world of Chabon, the Washington-born writer whose sentences are faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Whether you'll be able to keep up with all those inexhaustible stylistic feats is another matter.

Hires rate in November 2005
January 11, 2006
The hires rate was little changed at 3.4 percent in November.
Over the month, the hires rate decreased in manufacturing. The hires rate in manufacturing was 2.3 percent in November, down from 3.1 percent in October. The hires rate did not change significantly in any geographic region.
The hires rate is the number of hires as a percent of total employment. Hires are any additions to the payroll during the month.
These data come from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. The above data are seasonally adjusted. Data for November 2005 are preliminary and subject to revision. Find additional information in "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: November 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 06-39.

In the letter, Bozell tells Brauchli that "full disclosure" and "transparency" is the only "way for the Post to move forward from this fiasco." He also calls on the Post to "give readers enough information so that we know just how serious this really was and what can be done to restore your paper's credibility."How many Washington Post staffers were part of JournoList and, if there are any currently unnamed, who are they?
Did the Post know about JournoList when Klein was hired and that it was a "center
to left" group? If yes, what does that say about the Post's claims of neutrality?
Did actions on JournoList violate the Post's ethical guidelines?
Has the Post revised or added any ethical guidelines as a result of this scandal?
Will the Post permit staffers to belong to or operate such lists in the future?
Did Klein and the other Post members write to the list using company equipment and offices?
When Klein shut down the list, did he delete the list? If not, will the Post order him to release it so that readers may decide for themselves?
Most intelligent people have long been aware of the Washington Post, NYT, ABC, CBS, NBC, and other main stream media outlets Progessive Left Wing ideology and thinking. The free pass and no vetting of our current president during the last election was proof positive that non-biased reponsible journalism by these people is not part of their mantra or agenda in running a competent paper or TV program. Their goal is to further their leftist ideology by using the resources they have at hand to get their candidate elected and promote the leftist agenda. The Washington Post got caught in this JournoList scheme which only validates the points I have made above. It is my belief that this infection runs through out the entire staff at the Post and cannot be sluffed off as just one or two staffers that knew about and were using the JournoList service. As a result Mr. Bozell should not be expecting an answer to any of his questions anytime soon.July 30 2010 at 12:44 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
A partisan like Bozell shouldn't be to high and mighty about progressives on that list, given his right-wing views and he's financed by extreme right organizations. Bozell's group exists to attack Democrats and those in the media who are not in his camp.July 28 2010 at 10:02 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down Reply
After reading the "Open Letter". I would ask; What does this say about thier "neutrality" on all past reporting? What harm has it caused to all? When a citizen commits a crime there is a penalty, what is the Post's?
Everyone should look at the size of this corporation and consider the influence they have and be very concerned that there is no control over any news agency.
Bad news reporting should be a crime.
well of course you would...thats the entire intent of the "open letter"...much as the edited version of sherrods speech was meant to make you believe she was racist, and therefore the naacp and the obama administration was racist also......this letter is meant to make you think these reporters are to the left politically and couldnt possibly report anything objectively...and therefore all reporters are...well i think you can fill in the blank...atwater and rove would be proudJuly 28 2010 at 1:47 PM Report abuse Permalink -2 rate up rate down Reply

Vincent DiPersio was in Goddard's Residential Undergraduate Program (RUP) from 1973-76. He now works in television as a writer/director/producer.
His documentary "The Kennedy Detail," which he produced and directed, was nominated for an Emmy in 2012, and his new series, "Bomb Patrol Afghanistan," which follows a Navy Bomb Disposal Unit through their entire deployment, was nominated as Best Limited Series by the International Documentary Association (IDA).
DiPersio is originally from Philladelphia. Says DiPersio: "I was a kid from a tiny row house in Philly and Goddard changed my life, filling me with a life-long sense of curiosity that's led to 3 Oscar nominations and two Emmys! And I can honestly say that if I hadn't been struck by Goddard's lightning in the seventies none of that would have happened."

A brand new 9 hole golf course is now open in Tekapo and it is only a few minutes walk from the lodge – The Cairns. Developed by the enterprising Simpson family, it is another venture to add to their Balmoral Merino meat and LoveMyMerino wool clothing range.
The course was opened by Sir Bob Charles but we didn't manage to get there for the celebrations due to hosting commitments. However, a week later, a lovely Australian couple staying in house advised me they were off to Twizel to play golf after breakfast. "But why not Tekapo?" I exclaimed. They didn't have clubs with them, but no problem. I rang Andrew and he said he could supply clubs and cart. The green fees and hire are so inexpensive our guests didn't believe me at first. So off we went to meet Andrew on site where he set up our guests for a game and then gave me a quick tour of the course.
The course has one of the best views of the area overlooking Lake Tekapo with snow-capped mountains in all directions. The terrain is largely untouched with the mountain tarns as water hazards. It is a natural unspoilt environment just stunning in the magnificence of the scenery. And there was no one else there! Walking tracks and mountain bike trails are still to be established along with a clubhouse. The Simpsons see it as a community facility and welcome everyone to use the space.
Alistair is making noises about joining the club. I told him he would be too busy too chase small white balls but I think he has his eye on a few games when some mates come down to stay. Welcome to golf widowship… and ski widowship and hunting widowship…
Brother Richard arrived from Rotorua to stay early January proudly presenting me with the latest edition of The Cut which features The Cairns on the front cover. As an avid golfer (his wife Mary conceded defeat and learned to play) he "tested" the course and reported back favourably. There were grumblings about lost balls but we know where the fault lies with that particular dilemma!
Guests who arrive at Lake Tekapo Lodge late afternoon could factor in a twilight 9 holes. In summer it does not get dark until 10pm and those glorious calm warm evenings are conducive to a round. We can arrange hireage for you so no excuses. The Cairns has to be one of the most uniquely picturesque courses in New Zealand.

2 arrested in theft of radioactive gauge during Thornton vehicle break-in
Police recovered gauge, abandoned near garbage bin
ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. - Two people are charged with a stealing a portable gauge containing radioactive material during a vehicle break-in in Thornton earlier this month.
Alexander Saul King, 19, and Tasha Stapleton, 24, are charged with theft from a vehicle and trespass with intent to commit a crime, both felonies, Adams County district attorney spokeswoman Sue Lindsay said Wednesday. Both King and Stapleton have been released from jail after each posted a $2,500 bond.
The gauge was stolen Oct. 13 from a vehicle parked outside a Thornton apartment building, police said.
The Troxler model 3430 density gauge uses radioactivity to measure moisture and compaction in soil, asphalt and concrete on construction sites. State hazardous materials officials publicized the theft because the otherwise harmless device could emit higher-than-normal levels of radiation and pose a health risk if it were damaged.
Fortunately, within two days police recovered the gauge, which was found abandoned between a couple of trash bins in Commerce City.
Martinez Associates, LLC, a Denver construction materials testing firm, reported the gauge was stolen from an employee's vehicle.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Radiation Program is investigating whether the gauge theft shows Martinez Associates violated its radioactive materials license.
James Jarvis, who oversees Radiation Program regulations, said the state requires firms using portable devices containing radioactive material to have two separate locking mechanisms securing the device inside a vehicle.

I am trying to post a tweet on twitter with my mobile app. I have authorized my account by logging in on the twitter page linked to my app.
Now when i post it gives a 'Not published' alert.
Does anyone know the reason?
Here is my code:
submit.addEventListener('click', function(){ var oAuthAdapter = new OAuthAdapter('SECRET KEY', 'KEY', 'HMAC-SHA1'); // load the access token for the service (if previously saved) oAuthAdapter.loadAccessToken('twitter'); oAuthAdapter.loadAccessToken('twitter'); oAuthAdapter.send('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json', [['status', 'Test from appcelerator ' + Math.random()]], 'Twitter', 'Published.', 'Not published.'); if (oAuthAdapter.isAuthorized() == false) { // this function will be called as soon as the application is authorized var receivePin = function(){ // get the access token with the provided pin/oauth_verifier oAuthAdapter.getAccessToken('https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token'); // save the access token oAuthAdapter.saveAccessToken('twitter'); }; // show the authorization UI and call back the receive PIN function oAuthAdapter.showAuthorizeUI('https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?' + oAuthAdapter.getRequestToken('https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token'), receivePin); } });
3 Answers
Dumb question, but you're changing the keys, right?
Also, there was an updated version that works better, I was having issues with the older oauth adapter.
Yeah, I changed the keys :) Which one are you using? Maybe that could to the trick?
I can log in perfectly and all, but the only problem is the posting of the tweet. Always gives 'Not Published' alert.
If you are still having trouble, perhaps you can check out BirdHouse as an alternative solution. Go here for the code and go here for the test app.

Things change. They change. I arrived in Mexico some seven years ago amid dire warnings from all and sundry that I would instantly die of foul disease, tramplling by burros, and splashing sanguinary crime. All of this I regarded as nonsense, because it was. The State Department issued travel warnings and similar alarums, but State would regard Massachusetts as hazardous. There was little to fear. Expats traveled at will and walked the streets without concern.
Things change. While crime is hardly epidemic where we live, and in most places mostly involves narcos killing narcos, and takes place mostly away from the agringada regions rife with Americans, these days there is more of it. Before, you could walk home from a watering hole after midnight without worry. Now, no.There's not a lot of worry, but more than before.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
The local people remain as decent as always, small towns tending to be law-abiding everywhere on the planet. The problem is the growing reach of the drug cartels, causing a weakening of the fabric of law. When one variety of violent crime gets out of control, every other kind more easily flourishes.

The name for this dish from the Algarve comes from the clam-shaped copper cooking vessel, known as a cataplana, in which it is classically cooked. Serve this popular tasca dish as a light supper or lunch, accompanied with lots of bread for soaking up any extra juices, or spoon it over rice or alongside boiled potatoes for a more substantial main course. Serve chili pepper sauce on the side.
- 2 1/2 pounds small clams in the shell such as Manilas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 yellow or red (Spanish) onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red pepper flakes or 2 fresh small hot chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 1 bay leaf, crumbled
- 1/4 pound smoked ham or prosciutto, diced
- 1/4 pound chorizo sausage, casing removed and crumbled
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups diced canned tomatoes and their juices
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Lemon wedges
Companion recipe: Chili Pepper Sauce
Discard any clams that do not close to the touch. Scrub the clams well under running water, place in a bowl of water and refrigerate until needed.
Warm the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and the red pepper flakes, if using, and sauté for 3 minutes longer. Add the fresh chilies (if using), the bay leaf, ham or prosciutto, sausage, wine and tomatoes. Stir well and simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
Add the clams, hinge sides down, and cover the pan. Raise the heat to high and cook until the clams open, about 3-5 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened.
Ladle into warmed soup bowls, sprinkle with parsley and top with a liberal grinding of black pepper. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

London attractions: Zoo welcomes new endangered animal
Published: Friday 28th of May 2010
Animal lovers might want to head to London Zoo this summer when planning their trip around London attractions.
That is because the zoo has just welcomed another endangered animal to the long list of creatures it already provides a home for.
According to a news report on the organisation's website, a young Bactrian camel called Kaboobie has now joined the zoo's ranks.
The animal has so far proven to be a very friendly resident at the zoo, according to Paul Kybett, a keeper who works at the London attraction.
Commenting on the site, he stated: "Kaboobie is a very friendly youngster.
"One thing I've learned over the years is that animals will always surprise you."
Visitors to the English capital city will be able to see nearly 750 animal species if they stop off at London Zoo on their travels, with the attraction based in Regent's Park.

Woman found dead in Oxnard was strangled, autopsy shows
A woman who was found dead Saturday night in an Oxnard alley was strangled to death, the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office said late Tuesday afternoon.
Pamela Sue Silva's death is now officially ruled as a homicide, authorities said.
Silva, 42, a transient, also used the last name of Hornbaker, authorities said.
Silva was found unresponsive in the 1300 block of South E Street after Oxnard officers and ambulance crews were dispatched to check on her well-being. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:47 p.m., officials said.
The death was initially classified as suspicious, but after Tuesday morning's autopsy, it was classified as a homicide when it was determined Silva died from asphyxia by strangulation. Authorities did not say how she was strangled.
Silva was described as a transient who stayed in the Oxnard area.
Police said they found no identification on the body and had to use fingerprints to determine her identity.
Ventura County records show 19 convictions of infractions and misdemeanors since 1996 involving both last names used by the victim. The misdemeanors include being under influence of a controlled substance and a 2005 burglary conviction.
Police said no one had been arrested as of Tuesday in connection with her death.
Silva's death was at least the third death in Oxnard so far this year classified by police as a homicide.
A pregnant woman and her mother were fatally shot at their Oxnard home in late January in what police called a murder-suicide. Police found the man suspected of shooting the two women dead in his backyard from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His death was not counted as a homicide by police.
Also not counted was the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old last week in El Rio, since the slaying occurred outside Oxnard city limits.
Oxnard police said the investigation into Silva's death was continuing. Police did not release any other details about it, saying only that anyone with information on her death should call Detective Martin Perez at 385-7680. Anonymous callers also can call 982-7070 or Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit http://www.venturacountycrimestoppers.org to submit a tip via text or email.

By Christ Alone
"He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption" (1 Cor. 1:30).- 1 Corinthians 1:30
In recent years there has been much controversy surrounding the doctrine of justification. Many now say that the centuries-long division between Protestants and Roman Catholics no longer matters. Some groups have even produced lengthy documents asserting that Roman Catholics and Protestants agree on justification.
At this point it must be noted that Roman Catholics have never denied that justification is by faith. Since the Council of Trent in the mid-sixteenth century, Rome has said that faith is the foundation and the root of justification. For Rome, if there is no faith there is no justification.
However, it is not faith alone that justifies a person in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church. Rather, it is faith plus works. In the Roman system, a person cannot be justified unless he has some actual, personal righteousness. Faith lays hold of the grace of Christ, but this grace must be completed through human cooperation. Human beings must cooperate with the grace of Christ and do good works, which in turn produce personal righteousness. A person is then accepted by God based partly on his own righteousness — one that results from a combination of grace and good works.
However, this is not the teaching of Scripture. The only righteousness that can justify us is the perfect righteousness of Christ that is not infused into our nature but declared to us by imputation. Thus, the only ground of our justification is the perfect obedience that Jesus rendered to the Father. This is taught in places like today's passage that calls Jesus "our righteousness" (1 Cor. 1:30). Other passages emphatically state that no one will ever be justified by the good works of the Law even if these works are "combined" with faith (Gal. 3:11).
We use the phrase "justification by faith alone" in order to preserve the truth that only the alien righteousness of Christ imputed to us is sufficient to render us acceptable in God's sight. When we deny that justification is by faith alone, we deny that Christ has accomplished redemption for us. And, if we deny Him, we deny also His Father (John 5:23b).
Coram Deo
Roman Catholic theology denies the sufficiency of Christ by regarding our works as something that adds to and makes possible a righteousness within ourselves. However, though personal holiness is important, it only demonstrates that we have been justified by faith alone because of Christ alone. It never makes us righteous enough in God's eyes. In prayer, ask the Lord to make you daily despair of your ability to earn His favor and to enable you to trust in Christ alone.

Golf may be one of the most frustrating games around, but with the mental challenge it provides and the beautiful courses to play on, it's no wonder that millions of people are hooked. It is a low-impact sport that can be enjoyed throughout your life.
Getting Started
The best way to learn to play golf is to take lessons. One-on-one instruction with a professional golfer will go a long way in teaching you how to swing, what clubs to use, and how to control where the ball goes. There also many instructional videos on the market that will teach you the basics of the game . You don't have to own a set of golf clubs to start playing; generally, you can rent them from sporting stores or pro shops.
After your lessons, you'll want to practice the techniques you've learned. Finding a place to play shouldn't be difficult: there are hundreds of golf courses and driving ranges all over the world.
On the course, you'll learn the rules of the game as well as the etiquette. For example, it is polite to let faster golfers play through. To avoid slowing down other people's games, you may want to play in the middle of the week when courses generally tend to be less crowded.
Body Benefits
Golf is not the most aerobic of all activities, however it does offer some physical benefits, especially if you walk the course and carry your own clubs. Most golf courses are several miles, so walking the entire distance can definitely give you a good, low impact workout. Golfing helps to build upper body strength, tone your leg muscles, and improve your hand-eye coordination.
Warming Up and Cooling Down
It's a good idea to warm up before playing a round of golf. You can take a brisk walk or gently stretch your muscles to warm them up. You should stretch your neck, back, and arms to prepare your body for the swings of the club. After playing, you generally don't need a cool down, but you should stretch your arms, shoulders, and back to avoid injury and reduce soreness.

WASHINGTON, D.C (NEWS CENTER) - The Department of Defense has announced that they are delaying the civilian employee furlough notices for "approximately two weeks." They say that the delay will help them to analyze how the current Congressional funding changes will impact the cuts.
They said in a statement: "We have not made any decisions on whether or not the total number of planned furlough days for fiscal 2013 will change as a result of this delay. We believe the delay is a responsible step to take in order to assure our civilian employees that we do not take lightly the prospect of furloughs and the resulting decrease in employee pay."
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard employees are facing a possible 22 day furlough between April and September. DFAS in Limestone would also be affected by furloughs.

The Policy in Practice Seminars (PiPs) is an integral feature of the MPA programme. These are weekly seminars involving distinguished professionals or researchers who share their experience in public policy.
Benefits as an MPA Student
PiPs provide an opportunity to link up classroom learning to real world scenarios and to bring their theoretical learning to life, often corroborating or challenging things they have learned. Most seminars are rather informal, involve the presentation of a topical, and often controversial, policy-relevant paper, followed by a student-led group discussion. This allows students have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with the speakers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
To give you a better idea about the nature of PiPs, let us tell you briefly about the most recent seminars that took place in 2014-15.
