Anti-Apartheid Archbishop Calls Presbyterians to Back Divestment from Israeli Occupation
Submitted by Robert Naiman on 16 June 2014 - 3:02pm
Detroit -- As Presbyterians meeting in Detroit consider divestment from three companies linked to the Israeli occupation of Palestine -- Caterpillar, Motorola, and Hewlett Packard -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the leader who more than any other human being alive is associated with the successful use of divestment to help overturn apartheid in South Africa, is calling on Presb
Presbyterians Poised for Historic Vote Against Israel's Occupation of Palestine
Submitted by Robert Naiman on 12 June 2014 - 3:31pm
Sometimes a situation that appears hopeless is actually poised for a new beginning - when the apparent hopelessness reflects acceptance that conventional wisdom has utterly failed to bring about solutions and that solutions require actions that conventional wisdom has blocked.
Next week, Presbyterians meeting in Detroit will have a historic opportunity to help change the fundamental dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict in a way that will bring a just resolution of the conflict closer. They'll be considering divestment from three companies - Caterpillar, Motorola and Hewlett Packard - that are significantly tied to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Amb. Ford: Give Syrian Insurgents Manpads to Shoot Down Iranian Planes
Submitted by Robert Naiman on 11 June 2014 - 2:29pm
Last September, Congress said no to plans to bomb Syria, by failing to approve an authorization for the use of military force.
Now there is a new push -- exemplified by this New York Times op-ed by former Ambassador Robert Ford -- for deeper U.S. military intervention in Syria. Advocates for U.S. military intervention are assuring us that there will be no direct U.S. bombing of Syria. Instead, so-called "moderate rebels" in Syria (whoever they are) will do the bombing on behalf of the U.S., with U.S.-supplied weapons.
Support Presbyterian Divestment from Israeli Occupation!
Submitted by Megan Iorio on 11 June 2014 - 1:03pm
Next week, the Presbyterian Church (USA) is holding its biennial general assembly in Detroit where they'll consider a resolution to divest $17 million from three companies—Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions, and Hewlett-Packard—that participate in the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Just Foreign Policy will be in Detroit for this potentially historic vote—and we want to bring your messages of support with us!
Here are two things you can do right now:
- Sign our statement supporting Presbyterian divestment. We'll share your signatures with Presbyterian delegates in Detroit!
- Use our "Presby Divest!" profile image. If you use Twitter, Facebook, or other social media, make our "Presby Divest!" image your profile picture.
When the Presbyterians last considered divestment two years ago, the resolution failed by only two votes. The view that prevailed was that Presbyterians should support Palestinian rights via investment instead of divestment.
But Palestinian business leaders and international economic institutions like the World Bank have made clear that the Israeli occupation itself, which is strangling the Palestinian economy, is largely to blame for the dire situation of Palestinians, and investment alone can't reverse the consequences of occupation. There must be increased pressure on the Israeli government to change its policies.

Warmonger Media Storm Against Saving Sgt. Bergdahl Shows Why We Have So Much War
Submitted by Robert Naiman on 6 June 2014 - 11:14am
If you want to understand why it's the case that on the one hand the U.S. public and the majority of Congress turned against the war in Afghanistan a long time ago, and yet on the other hand, it's been so hard to end the war, this week's warmonger media storm against the diplomatic rescue of U.S. prisoner of war Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been very instructive.
It's been known for years that a key step towards ending the war would be exchanging five Taliban prisoners of war at Guantanamo for the release of Sgt. Bergdahl.
There has never been any serious dispute of the case that this would be a key step towards ending the war. I challenge anyone to find a counter-example to my claim.

Star Trek Into Darkness And Beyond
Star Trek into Darkness isn't quite finished yet, but there is already talk about the movie to follow it. Producer Bryan Burk introduced a screening of the first half-hour of the movie to reporters this weekend and gave an update on the progress of the movie, as well as looking ahead into the future of [...]
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness And Beyond
I love Karl Urban's face in this teaser when Kirk tells McCoy, "C'mon, this is gonna be fun!" :lol:
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness And Beyond
Personally I'd rather have the third movie in 2015 (to get the Abrams movies done and over with), with a new TV series in 2016. That would premiere on Thursday September 8, 2016. 50 years exactly! :)
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness And Beyond
Re: Star Trek Into Darkness And Beyond
One more Trek Movie with the originals then we get 3 movies with the next generation being recast. Julianne Moore as Crusher, Eva Green as Troi, Cheadle as Laforge, Daniel Day Lewis is Data, Jonathan Frakes as Riker, and Jason Statham as Picard. In the Alternate timeline Picard is English and not French therefore the accent doesn't have to change....
In reality I hope this movie knocks it out of the park, if it does then after its over it will be talked about. That talk is what will keep Star Trek current. As long as it stays current I'll be happy...it should never be something that we look back on. It was here 47 years ago and it is here now...

Home > Press > A ceremony of awarding the winners of high-performance computing project contest held by the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies and Intel took pl
A ceremony of awarding the winners of high-performance computing project contest held by the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO) and Intel took place today. The contest was aimed at fostering the teams of scientists using the supercomputing power in their work.
The ceremony was carried out in the framework of the Nanotechnology International Forum at the Central Exhibition Complex "Expocenter".
The criteria of evaluation the projects submitted to the panel of judges were using the high-performance supercomputers for scientific needs, adequacy of the level of tasks being set to the high-performance computing capacity, paralleling efficiency and scaling ability, absolute performance required to achieve the desired results, ingenuity and complexity of application implementation.
The projects had been accepted for contest until November 10. The works of 33 teams were accepted from Moscow and Moscow Region, Saint-Petersburg, Volgograd, Vladivostok, Kazan, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Yaroslavl (Russia), Lugansk and Kharkov (Ukraine), and other cities.
The panel of judges consisted of 12 representatives of research institutes and universities. The judges decided to award winners with five prizes.
«The Intel Corporation is well used to popularizing the IT-industry. We hold various contests between students, young scientists and IT-professionals on a regular basis, which promote the high technologies in Russia and other CIS countries, - noted Dmitry Konash, regional director, Intel Russia & CIS. - By arranging the contest of projects in the field of high-performance computing we planned to discover the scientific teams which are able to realize effectively the potential of newest supercomputers. The panel of judges received 33 works and each one of them is worth to be represented on the international level. We consider the contest successfully completed with outstanding results. The Intel Corporation in Russia and CIS plans to hold such competitions each year».
«Successful usage of the exact numerical calculations is a key tool which will allow our scientists, engineers and industrialists to earn an appropriate place on the market of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies - said Alexander Losyukov, RUSNANO deputy director general. - Due to the complexity of nanostructures all serious works require preliminary modeling and computations to evaluate the perspectives of practical implementation on further stages of the way down to mass production. We welcome the teams intensively using computational methods in their work and hope that more such crews will cooperate with our Corporation in future».
«No valuable results can be expected without high-performance computing in many fields of modern science. It's especially important in physics, chemistry, astronomy and nanotechnology - disciplines requiring in the first place processing of huge amounts of information within the multi-criteria models with unobvious cross coupling, - outlined Boris Chetverushkin, Director of Institute of Mathematical Modelling of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). - It wasn't an easy task to select the winners of the contest. We are glad that Russian specialists can be proud of themselves in this case - both in Russia and worldwide».
Contest results
The first prize in the amount of 250 thousand rubles, was given to the work "FPIC3D - parallel code for modeling the processes of ion beams interaction with solid-state matter", submitted to the contest by Igor Lomonosov, professor of the Institute of Chemistry Physics Problems of RAS (Chernogolovka, Moscow Region). D.A. Grigoriev, V.V. Kim, A.V. Matveichev, A.V. Ostrik, V.G. Sultanov, A.V. Shutov also took part in the project.

About Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies
The Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO) was founded under Federal Law No.139-FZ dated July 19, 2007 for «implementation of the government policy in the sphere of nanotechnologies, innovation infrastructure development in the sphere of nanotechnologies, implementation of projects on creating perspective nanotechnologies and nanoindustry». The Corporation resolves this objective acting as a co-investor in nanotechnological projects with a significant economic or social impact. The Corporation's financial involvement at early stages of projects reduces risks of its partners – private investors. The Corporation participates in establishment of the nanotechnological infrastructure, such as centers for collective use, business-incubators and early-stage investment funds. RUSNANO chooses the first-priority directions in investment based on long-term development forecasts (foresights) developed by the leading Russian and world experts. In 2007 the Government of the Russian Federation allocated 130 billion rubles for the Corporation's activity. The management bodies are the Supervisory Council, Board of Directors and Director General. RUSNANO Director General is Anatoly Chubais.

Ben Alexander was still going strong the last time I saw him, about 10 years ago, when he sat on a panel for a retrospective on the New Mexico workers' compensation reform of 1990. He had been an indispensable member of the task force that labored for months hammering out a compromise to save the state's economy.
Alexander died in January at age 91. He is remembered for his political activism, chairmanship of numerous boards, philanthropic activity, and for always being willing to travel from his home town of Hobbs to wherever he was needed.
He owned an oil well servicing company. In the mid-1980s, businesses like his were paying as much as $67 in workers' compensation premiums for every $100 of payroll. Construction and other labor-intensive industries had similar crippling costs, but Texas companies could work in New Mexico while paying much lower Texas rates. New Mexico was in real crisis. Insurance costs were so unstable that insurers simply stopped writing policies in New Mexico.
With the business community up in arms, the law was changed several times over five years, culminating in the 1990 reform. By that time, half of all policies were in the Assigned Risk Pool – the special class of insurance, extra expensive, normally reserved for bad risks.

My name is Len, thanks for opening my profile..Hope you enjoy it.
Ex-Londoner, dual citizen, genuine all round nice guy.
Not a youngster anymore, but definitely don't act or look my age. Has a great British sense of humour, a bit off the wall at times but never obnoxious or embarassing to be around. Loves to tell jokes (some risque of course) but doesn't make jokes of other people, that is very disrespectful.
Loved London during the 60's. Went to all the clubs, saw the Beatles, The Who, Stones and suchlike live dozens of times. But neither myself or the crowd I ran with did any drugs. Was fun to watch the Mods on their scooters getting stoned on pills..Stupid.
I've been told that I look like a cross between David Schwimmer (from Friends) and Adam Sandler, only older. Same short hair but now mixed with a little grey..I call it salt and pepper lite!
Love dogs, not too fond of cats, they don't bring back sticks and balls when you throw them! Apologies to all the cat ladies out there. If Fifi or Tibby or Kittie is the love of your life, then I'm not for you. If you call Rex, Fido, Max, Fang or Killer and a Lab/Shepherd/Setter/ Great Dane or just a plain old rescue mutt comes running, then I'm your man. I like all dogs, but it's the teeny-weeny yappy white floor mop type dogs that I tend to shy away from. Unless of course, if you and I click romantically, I can learn to love your Maltese/Shitzsu/Pood le/Pekinese or any combo of the above..But Chihuahau's?? OMG!! (Bring on the hate mail, I can take it!)
I speak 6 languages: English, American, Australian, Canadian, South African and New Zealand
Favourite Motto: Be nice to people on the way up because you don't know who you'll meet on the way down!
Favourite quotation: Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue!
A Jewish Haiku: They tried to kill us. We won. Let's eat.
"Marriage is like a deck of cards. You start out with two hearts and a diamond, then eventually you're looking for a club and a spade!"
(That last sentence is meant as humour. If you're offended by it, keep on looking, we're not in the same league humour wise!)

Prehistoric Teeth Tell Much About Early Man's Diet and Lifestyle
Recently, some prehistoric teeth were discovered in a cave outside of Tel Aviv, Israel. These teeth are estimated to be about 400,000 years old, and they are well preserved because the cave they were found in was well sealed off from the elements. What scientists were able to learn by examining these teeth and their plaque has …

The B&B is conveniently situated within walking distance of the city's historic centre.
It's located near a bus stop, the railway station and a highway exit, so it's an excellent accommodation for all travellers. It is possible to park in the nearby streets or to park at nearby garages.
The B&B, located in a villa just inside the old city walls, is completely surrounded by a large garden that gives the guests peace, quiet and comfort, but also the view of an unusual landscape beneath the ancient and famous rocca of Monte dei Paschi.
The villa, built at the beginning of the 20th century and renovated last year, is built on two floors.
The B&B single and double guest rooms are situated on the first floor. All the rooms are large and with bathrooms en suite, with hairdryer, air conditioning and cabled TV, hair-dryer supplied on request. The rooms are cleaned daily.

In a good location for easy access to the city centre and a walkable distance to the train station.
We loved the quiet airy room and the location that was so convenient for walking into the old city.
The room was spacious, confortable and the bathroom very very clean.
She provided a nice breakfast each morning and allowed us to store our bags on the last day, since we weren't leaving town until evening.
Accurate description and very comfortable room. Bathroom was clean and towels/linens were nice. Location was probably 5 min walking from Piazza del Campo. Felt safe the entire time. Didnt explore the grounds but enjoyed the peaceful room. Breakfast consisted of teas, croissants, cereal and juices. We were notified of a tourism tax at check in which was weird since it was never mentioned anywhere or to us previously, wasnt a problem but wish we were told ahead of time.
Great spot in Siena, very convenient and i think the best room of my whole trip. My only misgiving was no savoury breakfast items - only sweet! But tjat is a very minor quibble. .
We loved this place! It was great to have breakfast included and what a location - a quick walk to the center of the old city!
We had a wonderful stay in Siena. The room was large and very clean. Luciana's place is about halfway between the train station and the center of Siena, about a 10-15 min walk from each. She provided a nice breakfast each morning and allowed us to store our bags on the last day, since we weren't leaving town until evening. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Walking distance from train/bus station. Luciano was a wonderful host.
Luciana and her husband greeted us and he gave us a nice rundown of the main sites in town, confirming the information we had collected and providing a simple map that helped us get oriented. The house is on a busy through-street in a quiet neighborhood, an easy 10- or 15-minute walk from the central plaza and most of the important sites. The rooms are in a large house, simply but elegantly furnished, quiet and comfortable.
Lovely Airy B & B
We stayed with Luciana while we enjoyed the sights of Siena. We loved the quiet airy room and the location that was so convenient for walking into the old city. The room was so comfortable and Luciana was helpful and nice and she gave us a lovely breakfast every morning. We would definitely return and recommend it to others.

Gestisco un B&B a Siena da circa 5 anni, mi piace conoscere nuove persone e far conoscere la mia città. Parlo abbastanza il francese e mi arrangio con l'inglese.

I love visiting landmarks and historical sites and this one did not disappoint. I admit, I wasn't expecting much. This place had it all. Inside -- 3 different exhibits showcasing Sam Houston's Life pre-Texas, fighting for freedom and governing, and latter days. As if the extensive collection wasn't enough, a stroll of the grounds reveals his last home, law office...
We weren't too sure what to expect, so we were pleasantly surprised by the simple beauty of Sam Houston's homesite. Just standing on the property and seeing where he and his family lived— and where Houston died— is so moving. When we were there, it was raining, so we had the grounds pretty much to ourselves. It only made it...
This lovely museum offers guests an opportunity to see how important Sam Houston was to the founding of the greatest state in the USA. Staff knowledgeable. Bring your students. Wear comfortable shoes. Plan a picnic.
After watching the series on History Channel, we enjoyed the museum even more. It was very informative, as well as the buildings on the grounds. Only complaint would be that handouts were not available at that time as they were out. Also, no magnets on the museum itself were available for purchase. We collect!
The collection at the Sam Houston Museum is impressive and contains actual artifacts belonging to Sam Houston and his family. In addition to the museum, you can see two houses where Sam Houston lived including the house where he died. It's a beautiful location on land that belonged to Sam Houston. Don't leave without spending some time watching the ducks...
My husband and 3 year old really enjoyed visiting this place. It is my favorite place to visit in Huntsville so far. We saw turtles,ducks, roosters,a rabbit,squirrels. I wish we could see some peacocks. The historical structures are delightful and the smell of them too. This is a must see place and be sure to bring your camera. I must...
This is a great place to learn about Sam Houston's life, and also to learn about the intricacies of Tejas and Texas's process of independence from Mexico and joining the Union. The historical interpreters in the village provide a realistic description of the day-to-day life of white settlers.
I really enjoyed walking through here and seeing all the history relating to Sam Houston. From his law office, to the house where his children were born, the house where we died and his funeral was held and so much more!!! Definitely a place that all Texans and history buffs should visit.
We spent 3 hours reading every display. They had a lot of actual pieces from Houston and his family, more than the typical stuff. We're from NY so there was a lot of family info and Texas Insight that was new to us. We'll worth the stop.
The first thing I noticed about this museum was the kilt that belonged to Sam. There was a lot of relevant information and this museum has a fee and you are given a tag to wear so that you can get into the other building. i enjoyed it very much.

The unforced error has added impact because it ties directly into other issues that President Obama would rather keep quiet before Election Day. Most voters want more choices in their health care coverage, not less. By a 77 percent to 9 percent margin, voters think everybody should have the right to choose between different types of health insurance plans, including some that cost more and cover just about all medical procedures and some that cost less while covering only major medical procedures. They want options, not mandates.
Additionally, the issue puts the president's unpopular health care law back in the news. Voters already believe that law will increase the cost of health care, and most also believe the decision on contraceptive coverage will add even more costs.
In the end, unforced errors like this will only matter if the election is close. If the economy improves significantly, the president is likely to be re-elected. If the recovery stalls and confidence falls, he is likely to lose. But in a close race, unforced errors could be decisive. Team Obama is probably looking for a way to correct this error and undo the damage well before the fall campaign season arrives.
