Interrogation of former Montrealer being used to justify his indefinite detention, lawyer says
Michelle Shephard, Toronto Star, 27 July 2008
When agents from Canada's spy service were given access to Guantanamo Bay in February 2003, it wasn't just 16-year-old Omar Khadr they were coming to see.
They wanted to interrogate three other detainees who were not Canadian but had once lived in Montreal.
As one agent interviewed Khadr over four days, two other agents tried to get what information they could from the former Canadian residents.
No one from the federal government, or the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, will discuss the cases involving Algerians Djamel Ameziane and Ahcene Zemiri, and Mauritanian Mohamedou Ould Slahi.
But Canadian and American government officials interviewed by the Toronto Star confirm there were three CSIS employees on the private jet that took the Canadians to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba, from Washington in early 2003. Another group travelled to the base in September 2003.
Don Butler, Canwest News Service, 25 July 2008
OTTAWA - Current laws do not effectively protect against human right violations by Canada's security intelligence agencies, concludes a study undertaken for the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
The commission asked four Toronto human rights lawyers to examine the extent to which the RCMP, CSIS, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) and the bodies that monitor them are legally obliged to consider human rights issues when discharging their duties.
It commissioned the study because of concern that laws enacted in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks might unfairly target certain groups based on their race, religion or ethnic origin.
The study found some broad legislation, such as the Anti-terrorism Act, imposes "limited human rights obligations" on security intelligence agencies and their monitoring bodies.
But none of the agencies, it says, is explicitly mandated by its enabling legislation to consider and report on human rights matters.
That legislative gap increases the risk of rights violations by national security agencies, said Nicole Chrolavicius, one of the report's authors.
The Gazette, JAN RAVENSBERGEN, 26 June 2008
He's now batting two-for-two before the highest court in the land.
But a second landmark legal triumph before the Supreme Court of Canada yesterday has not given Montrealer Adil Charkaoui back all the freedoms he lost since he was first detained by Canada's spy agency more than five years ago.
The 34-year-old was jubilant regardless - declaring "a full victory" over the Canadian Security Intelligence Service in the wake of Canada's second top-court decision in less than 17 months to bear his name.
"This is not a half-victory," the schoolteacher told reporters at a downtown legal-aid office.
Less than two hours earlier, the nation's top judges dropped a bombshell on Canada's spy agency - in Charkaoui's name.
In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ordered CSIS to stop systematically destroying interview notes and other evidence gathered during national-security probes:
"The destruction by CSIS officers of their operational notes compromises the very function of judicial review.
"There is no question that original notes and recordings are the best evidence."
The Coalition Justice for Adil Charkaoui is calling on CSIS, Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day and Minister of Immigration Diane Finley to review Charkaoui's file for other destroyed evidence and to confirm that they will implement Thursday's Supreme Court decision.
The Supreme Court of Canada handed Charkaoui a second victory Thursday in his lengthy struggle against the immigration "security certificate": "We have concluded that Mr. Charkaoui's appeal succeeds. In our view, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is bound to disclose to the ministers responsible all information in its possession regarding the person named in a security certificate," (2) wrote the nine judges in a unanimous decision.
"Today we are calling on CSIS to actually apply the ruling," said Marie-Eve Lamy, a spokesperson for the Coalition. "They are nice principles, but meaningless if not applied. Will CSIS show us evidence that the policy has changed? Will they provide a timeline to implement the policy?"
The Coalition was not able to reach CSIS's media liaison, Manon Bérubé, yesterday to get a response to these questions.
24 June 2008, Canadian Press
OTTAWA — The head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service secretly rejected a call from the spy agency's watchdog to apologize to an Ottawa-based charity for an "unsubstantiated statement" linking the organization to a terrorist group.
CSIS has been publicly silent for more than a year about the Security Intelligence Review Committee recommendation to make amends to Human Concern International with an apology and retraction.
However, a newly declassified letter shows CSIS director Jim Judd told Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day in late March 2007 that he had no intention of saying sorry.
"As a result of our review of the report, the methodology used by SIRC Counsel and a review of the information on HCI in the possession of the Service, I disagree with SIRC's findings and, as a result, do not intend to act on the recommendations made in the report."
A copy of the letter, marked secret, was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. Portions were considered too sensitive to disclose.
Michel Drapeau, lawyer for the charitable organization, expressed frustration at CSIS's response. He said Day should direct the spy agency to apologize.
Canadian Dimension, 20 May 2008
Canada's spy agency and an RCMP anti-terror unit carried out an intelligence campaign against Ottawa-based punk band The Suicide Pilots, documents obtained through Access to Information requests show.
Following the arrest of the band's drummer, bones (aka Jeffrey Monaghan), the RCMP's anti-terror unit opened a file on the band, alleging their logo "depicts an airplane flying into the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill." A copy of the frightened-looking airplane caricature was included in the 184 page file.
"If you want an example of bloated police powers, this is it," says Ottawa-based lawyer Yavar Hameed. Hameed notes that the investigation seems to be completely unrelated to the arrest of Mr. Monaghan. Monaghan was alleged to have leaked the Tory Green Plan last spring. The anti-terror investigation appears to have surfaced after media coverage of Mr. Monaghan denouncing the Harper regime's actions of climate change. Monaghan has never been charged. The investigation is organized through the Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams (INSET), and the documents reveal an explicit coordination with Canada's spy agency, CSIS.
In June 2005, shortly after Charkaoui was released from prison in Montreal, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), issued a three-page report called, "Islamic Extremists and Detention: How Long Does the Threat Last?".
Short on facts and long on generalizing assertions, the report speaks volumes about the kind of assumptions made by the Canadian spy agency, not to mention the kind of slipshod work that passes muster in this agency.
John Norris, one of the lawyers for the Toronto security certificate detainees, showed in court that one of the sentences from the reported is in fact lifted directly from an article that was published in the Washington Post, "Released Detainees Rejoining the Fight" (22 October 2004).
Not only was the word-for-word quote unattributed, it had been taken out of context in an entirely misleading way.
Marooned for five years, Abousfian Abdelrazik gets $100 a month from Canada to survive, but no passport or clearance to go home
PAUL KORING, Globe and Mail, April 28, 2008
Abousfian Abdelrazik, a 46-year-old Sudanese Canadian fingered by CSIS as a terrorist suspect, has been marooned in Khartoum for nearly five years as successive Canadian governments have refused him a passport and thwarted other efforts to bring him home to his family in Montreal.
CSIS is proving to be just as inept and dysfunctional as the discredited RCMP Security Service it replaced in 1984
Andrew Mitrovica, Toronto Star, 17 April 2008
The case that was supposed to be a defining moment in Canada's so-called "war on terror" is becoming a national embarrassment.
Earlier this week, federal lawyers stayed charges against the four "ringleaders" of a "homegrown terror" group that police and security officials once insisted with great fanfare were the spiritual and ideological architects of sinister plans to launch terrorist attacks in this country.
The media dubbed the gang "The Toronto 18." The catalogue of crimes they were apparently poised to unleash was astonishing. The plans included storming Parliament Hill, beheading the Prime Minister and seizing control of CBC's Toronto headquarters to issue a jihadist manifesto.
Today, the number of alleged "terrorists" involved in this conspiracy sits at 11 and is bound, despite the bravado of government lawyers, to plummet further.

Interesting Tau Pic: Model Size Comparison
This is a really cool pic, that looks like its out of the codex, or it may be a White Dwarf image. It was sent into me, and I thought it worthwhile to get posted up. The Riptide looks huge.
Wow.... Don't play Tau, but that thing looks like a beast o.oReplyDelete
Wow, the stealths only come up to the Riptide's knee? I mean, I knee it was big, but wow.ReplyDelete
lol. You "knee" it was big.Delete
Impressive :-)
That will be a codex image.
Looks like Fire Warrior infantry, XV25 Stealthsuit, XV8 Crisis Suit, XV8-05 Command Suit, XV88 Broadside suit & the XV104 Pinhe...er Riptide Zillasuit.
I was thinking the 2nd to last one was the XV9 (Hazard)Delete
Nope, no Forgeworld units in the codex ;(Delete
Yup this is from the codex. The drawing around the page is the same as those in the 6th ed codexesDelete
To be fair, unless you have the codex you can't be 100% sure of that. Even the rumours only tell is with confidence that there are no foreworld models in the first model wave.
Having said that I suspect you are going to be correct ;)
Well, not the stats or an entry, no, but the head on that one certainly looks like the more triangular one of the hazard than the box the 88s have.Delete
Yeah, it's 100% absolute dead cert that there are no Forgeworld models getting moved into codices.
Forgeworld have grown and now have the infrastructure now to keep their own units, GW no longer pilfers them for army books. I don't think anything from Necrons onward has FW units in and I don't expect that to change.
Why on earth would they not do something similar to the xv15/xv25 stealth teams and at least give the new broadsides a different designation? Keeping them as xv88 means the old figures could now be considered modelling for advantage due to their significantly smaller profile and base side.ReplyDelete
Not really, they are what they are as per the BRB Pg3 base rules, it's only the most unreasonable players that would have a beef with a unit that was available a week ago just because it came on a smaller base. And those are people who you don't really lose out by not playing them. :]Delete
Already re-based my old Broadsides on 60mm bases just in case I eventually run in to that one d*ck...Delete
It's more than that though. The old broadsides are based on crisis suit kits whereas the new one certainly appears larger?Delete
The old Rhino kits are smaller than the current ones and that doesn't stop anyone from using them (even at tourneys, I've seen them.)Delete
I love me an old Rhino, no way I'm replacing them and no-one has ever complained. The fact that they are smaller means you can hie them easier, but then they block less of the table and giver less cover themselves so no real advantage.Delete
Hey Natfka!
There is something inside the April's White Dwarf pointing High Elves for next month?
Someone told me that
I have not yet seen it. I will see what I can find though.Delete
The bigger they get, the more they have those tiny tyrannosaur arms...ReplyDelete
Much like a tyrannosaur I feel the hands are superfluous , I doubt the riptide spends much time opening doors or picking up shiny penny's on the battlefieldDelete
Yeah, but a pair of hands are like a condom or a gun: I'd rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it. ;]Delete
And the arms aren't really THAT small.
Don't get me wrong, I like the hands :D I'm just not sure what a suit that size is doin with them ( besides punchan gaems with tyranid/demon monstrous creatures )Delete
the small arms I think are just because of the front view of the units. from other pics I am assuming there is quite a bit more bulk to them.Delete
Lol at #mauler# thats from aliens vs predatorDelete
lol Ben, I've been saying it for a bit longer than that but good spot :D
///Want some candy?///
Hands on arms? Useful for reloading weapons, tearing doors off rhinos, moving debris out of the way for firewarriors, and even rude gestures at terminators!
But seriously, hands make for more modelling conversion opportunities.
The riptide begs the question though: How do the Tau transport it?
The Adeptus Mechanicus can do that too!! They...just completely forgot how to do it. Damnit Horus...ReplyDelete
Funny you say that...
What's the scouter say about it's power level?????
This picture makes me so unbelievably excited, if I wasn't controlling myself I'd be bouncing up and down right now...ReplyDelete
Am I the only one who wants to know about shadowsuns ability to be used?ReplyDelete
i seriously doubt shadowsun will be any good. her main issue is that she is carrying 2 fusion blasters which mean she has to fight at very close range where she will get assaulted. which is the opposite of how the tau play (with the exception of farsight of course). unless they give her a better weapon not to many people are going to look at her.Delete
Yeah, always been a problem with her. Hopefully they'll give her weapon options. We'll find out soon!
( Time to rebase and rebuild my xv88's.)
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
They should show how the Fire worrier pilots the suit, it still looks like the pilot can't fit in the crisis suit.ReplyDelete
Shadowsun with some XV9s on the drop is super scary. More tourneys are mainstreaming FW, so we here in Miami are using a lot of FW models currently. Hopefully she is an independent character so I can give her a nice squad.ReplyDelete

I got a very interesting note from Ross Swartzendruber the Programming Director of the Mid-Valley Video Festival in Salem, Oregon. He says "Many of our recent films for our Screentest events were discovered using Democracy." He saw Joel Trussel's "War Photographer" during a Channel Frederator episode and decided to go from there. Ross says:
"After the festival in February, we were approached by a few directors wanting to screen their works-in-progress throughout the year, so we started Screentest, a monthly event at Northern Lights Theatre Pub in Salem, Oregon. Since the filmmaking community around the Willamette Valley is still growing, we could only manage to schedule about 30 minutes of local programming for each 90 minute timeslot. We decided to use Democracy Player to find material to fill the program. Trussell's imagery stuck in my head, as did the awesome soundtrack. I really wanted to share it with a larger audience. The audience was stunned. They all knew how much work had gone into producing the video and were amazed that a 30 MB file could look so good on the screen and sound so good."
"Since then, Screentest has featured more than 40 films acquired using Democracy Player and has decide to create an award for "Best Creative Commons Film" during the 4th annual Mid-Valley Video Festival in February 2007. Democracy users are encouraged to enter. Visit mvvfest.org for more information."

Giuliana Rancic considered giving up her career for her newborn son.
The E! News host and her husband Bill welcomed their son Edward Duke into the world at the end of August.
She took some time off work afterwards to be with her family and bond with her son.
But the 38-year-old new mother seems to resent returning to her day job in a new episode of reality show Giuliana & Bill that aired on Tuesday.
"I'm sad. Today I have to leave for Tampa, Florida to sell my clothing line on HSN, then I go directly to Los Angeles for the Emmys," she says.
"I knew this day was coming - that it was inevitable, but I have to be honest: I'm not ready."
The clip was filmed four weeks after Giuliana and Bill welcomed their little bundle via a surrogate mother.
But as the couple debated whether or not she should continue her career, Giuliana seemed to have already made up her mind.
"Maybe I should quit right now! I don't want to go," she says.
For now, Giuliana remains at her post at E!

The flavours of Normandy in our dairy products.
The fame and fortune of Isigny Sainte-Mère was built on the unique flavour of its butter and the rich, silky texture of its crème fraîche, with its 40% fat content: these were awarded AOP status in 1986...
...The small Co-operative, as it was called in its early days, has managed to apply its know-how and commitment to quality across many other products.
In short, the Isigny milk gave rise to a mouthwatering cheese board: ladled Camembert, AOP Pont l'Evêque, Red Label Mimolette, Brie and Saint-Paulin . And don't miss the fromages frais, liquid and UHT creams.
At the same time, Isigny Sainte-Mère has developed innovative production methods for infant formula milks, instant full fat and skimmed powder milks. All these products are derived from the exceptionally high quality milk collected by Isigny Sainte-Mère.

|Forecasting America's Destiny ... and the World's
U.S. General criticizes Japan, Philippines for China-Nazi comparisons
This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com
In a nationwide referendum on Sunday, Switzerland voted by a razor thin vote of 50.3% to re-impose quotas on immigrants from other countries, including EU countries. Switzerland is not a member of 17-nation eurozone bloc, nor is it a member of the 28-nation European Union, though it's surrounded by eurozone and EU countries. For 12 years, Switzerland's borders have been open to all EU countries (though not to other countries). The referendum was strongly opposed by the Swiss government. The greatest effect of implementation of Sunday's vote would be to close the borders to workers from the EU, many of them highly qualified.
The size of the vote varied across the country. Ticino is the only canton with an Italian language majority, and it voted 78% to curb immigration. Ticino borders Italy, and is having major social and economic problems from grossly underpaid foreigners, sometimes working as black market laborers. On the other hand, cantons in western Switzerland were strongly against limiting immigration, with 60-70% voting "no".
The "yes" vote threatens several agreements with the European Union, including trade agreements that permit most of Switzerland's exports to go to the EU. EU officials say that they're reviewing the situation to which of these agreements will have to be terminated. Swiss officials have three years to implement the new immigration quotas, and they've indicated that they plan to move very slowly. Geneva Lunch and Bloomberg
Some 30,000-50,000 anti-government activists rallied in Kiev on Sunday, the capital city of Ukraine, to demand the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych, chanting:
"A new constitution. A new president. A new government. A new country. This is what we want and we will prevail. Glory to Ukraine."
Many wore blue and yellow ribbons, the colors of both Ukraine and the European Union, to emphasize their demands that Ukraine should be more closely linked to Europe than to Russia.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) placed its anti-terrorist units on high alert, saying in a statement that it had received reports of terrorist incidents, including bomb threats at nuclear and hydroelectric power stations.
The government opposition warned that the country is headed for financial default. In the last month, the logic of bankruptcy has been reversed. Ukraine has been headed for bankruptcy for some time, but Russia's president Vladimir Putin offered to bail them out with a $15 billion loan, provided that they signed a trade agreement with his Eurasian Customs Union rather than the EU. However, as the riots and violence have grown, Putin announced that he would withhold the bailout money until Ukraine joins the customs union.
So now the opposition is saying that since Putin is withholding payment, the country is headed for default again. But opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk says that the U.S. and the European Union are ready to step in with financial aid. Good to know. AFP and Ukrainian News Agency and Bloomberg
Gen. Herbert J. "Hawk" Carlisle, the commander of the Pacific Air Forces, is criticizing leaders of Japan and the Philippines for drawing comparisons between China's actions today and those of Nazi Germany prior to World War II. In these columns, I've repeatedly referred to China's current policies as being similar to Hitler's "Lebensraum" policies.
According to General Carlisle:
"The rise of Germany and what occurred between the U.K. in particular and Germany, and what happened in Europe, I don't draw that comparison at all to what's going on today [in the Asia-Pacific].
Some of the things, in particular that have been done by Japan, they need to think hard about what is provocative to other nations."
Carlisle urged all countries in the region to try to defuse tensions. In particular, he cautioned China not to extend an air-defense identification zone (ADIZ) over the South China Sea as it did in the East China Sea separating China from Japan, because itoulw be "very provocative."
Several days ago, I quoted U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Russel as "Any Chinese claim to maritime rights not based on claimed land features would be inconsistent with international law." This statement turns out to be an official U.S. rejection of China's famous "nine-dash line map" claiming regions that have historically belonged to Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. According to Russel, any Chinese claims "must be derived from land features," and not from a historical map not recognized by anyone else. According to a China analyst formerly of the Obama administration:
"[F]or the first time, the United States government has come out publicly with an explicit statement that the so-called 'nine-dash line' ... is contrary to international law."
According to China's foreign ministry, "Some US officials make groundless accusations against China." Bloomberg and Radio Free Asia

This week, we're driving Honda's new 2013 Civic EX, a popular four-door sedan available in seven distinct trims. Ranging from the entry LX with manual that starts at just $18,165 to the top line EX-L for $23,765, Civic continues to carve a legacy in affordable small cars, which dates back to 1972 when a "cute" little sub-compact Civic arrived on American shores.
Completely revamped for 2013, the Civic EX Sedan is an exercise in modern technology and return on investment (ROI), as even a base price Civic LE affords consumers maximum benefits, including a standard rear safety back-up camera. ...

« Loafing with LaRouche | Main | Zizek Watch: Early '08 Bulletin »
October 31, 2007
Immediately after sending my column over to be published yesterday, I went downstairs to find that a finished copy of the latest N+1 production had arrived in the mail. At one or two points in the piece, I refer to it as a pamphlet. But with the thing in hand now I can see that is not quite right. "Booklet" is more accurate.
It was tempting to quote large chunks of the transcript in my piece, but I decided to keep things short and snappy for a change. Might do more with it later, though. Passages stick in mind as touchstones for thinking about various questions that have dogged me for a while.
While reading it the first time, I wanted to tell all the participants, "Okay, once you hit your forties, then we'll talk about regret. Because seriously, this is the journeyman version." But that is probably tempting fate. Some still more disgruntled future subjectivity may want to travel back in time to kick my ass for writing this.
In any case, I'm hoping to cultivate enough amour fati to get through midlife in one piece. The booklet is useful in that regard. It proves that the doubts and second guesses are inescapable. Having read it, I feel less regret about all the regret of the past dozen years.

OpenStage Theatre & Co. presents Rent
When: Showing through Oct. 5 with performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays
Where: Lincoln Center, Magnolia Theatre, 417 W. Magnolia St., Fort Collins
Cost: $30-$35; $20 to $24 for seniors, students and matinees
www.lctix.com or (970) 221-6730
Only in the last few years has OpenStage Theatre & Co. delved into the musical side of theater. This season, they opened with one of the most highly anticipated shows in Northern Colorado: Rent.
Loosely based on Puccinis La Boheme, Rent follows a group of New Yorkers struggling to survive. Theres HIV-positive singer/songwriter Roger (played by Michael Hawthorne); his aspiring filmmaker roommate Mark (played by Michael J. Martinkus); and HIV-positive stripper Mimi (played by Ali Scordato).
The show begins Christmas Eve, as Roger and Mark contemplate their impending eviction by former friend/roommate Benny (Justin Batson), who married up and is now their landlord.
Benny offers a way to forgo their back rent get Marks ex-girlfriend, Maureen (Callie Mescher), to stop her protest against Bennys development of the lot next door, which would uproot the homeless living there. Instead Mark goes to help and ends up commiserating with his exs new beau, Joanne (Kate Austin-Groen), in the hilarious Tango Maureen.
Broke professor Tom Collins (Jacob Offen) is beaten and mugged but then saved by Angel, a drag queen with a heart of gold, played by the divine Cole Emarine. Those who remember Emarine from his Carousel Dinner Theatre days know his knack for scene stealing and wont be disappointed here. When hes on the stage, he owns it.
The list of standout numbers is a long one that includes the lovely love duet between Tom and Angel Ill Cover You, Maureens protest song Over the Moon and the wild, cafe table dance La Vie Boheme. The celebration of all things taboo was perfectly choreographed by Briana Sosna.
Additionally, Scordato (Mimi) nailed Out Tonight, no easy feat as this tricky catcall can quickly turn into a caterwaul.
On Saturday there were a few moments where opening night jitters got the best of performers early on, but as the show went on, the cast warmed up. Musical theater is not OpenStages primary focus, but what they sometimes lacked in Broadway caliber vocals, they more than made up for in heartfelt, stellar performances.
As the cast sings in No Day But Today: Theres only us. Theres only this. Forget regret or life is yours to miss.
If you miss this show, you will regret it.

What's on Mark Fields' mind? According to Consumer Reports, the answer may be the cost of manufacturing hybrids. During a recent informal meeting, Ford's vice-president of North American operations reportedly "implied" the automaker isn't seeing any profit from any of its hybrid products.
That wouldn't be too surprising, given the cost and complexity of a hybrid-electric drive system. Pure electric vehicles, however, seem to tickle Fields' fancy. Fields believes power companies are jumping at the chance to power the cars, and there isn't much support from traditional fuel sources to provide other alternative fuels.
Diesels, however, may have a limited role in Ford's future. Apart from the new 6.7-liter diesel launched for the 2011 Super Duty, few - if any - future products will burn oil. Fields did note that a light-duty diesel for the F-150 pickup wasn't canceled, but simply deferred. Unless diesels receive additional governmental support and looser emission standards, Fields doesn't believe Ford's European diesel cars will find a home in North America.

I was sent a link to the Chinese shopping site TaoBao.com recently, where I discovered my designs being sold alongside designs by various other illustrators, on tote bags, handbags and cosmetics cases. These bags are being made by a company called Ufukuro who, although they have a Japanese name (presumably to sound more high end and legit) are actually based in Shanghai, China. I was shocked by the sheer number of rip-offs, which mostly are just directly copy-pasted (sometimes with a change of colour or layout) from the various artists' work. I can't post all of them here (there are 2-5 images stolen from each artist, and at least 14 artists affected), but here are a few of the stolen designs, shown alongside the original images. I'm pretty sure that ALL of Ufukuro's illustrated bags feature stolen images. Unfortunately, as it is a Chinese company, it is extremely difficult to take any legal action.
The bags are also for sale online at Dawanda.com and on Etsy.
The artists and designers affected include: Kate Sutton, Jim Datz, Jon Burgerman, Darling Clementine, Adrian Johnson, Marion Bantjes, Christopher Lee, Sanna Annukka, Andrew Holder, Andreas Samuelsson, Toru Fukuda, Lance Wyman, Krisatomic and lucky old me (Gemma Correll).
But it's very possible that there are others. Take a look – maybe you'll be one of the unfortunate folks that has had their work stolen by Ufukuro.

Outdoor Chemical Storage Buildings
Safely storing hazardous materials and wastes is a common problem for many companies. Outdoor Chemical Storage Buildings provide an effective solution to the problem. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) defines an outdoor chemical storage building as: "a prefabricated structure, manufactured primarily at a site other than the final location of the structure, and transported completely assembled or in a ready-to-assemble package to the final location." These buildings provide an economical means of storage and secondary containment because they eliminate the expense of constructing permanent structures.
A number of things need to be considered when selecting appropriate outdoor chemical storage buildings. Your choice will depend on the type of materials to be stored, the location of the building and design requirements.
If the materials to be stored are either flammable or combustible, you will need a building that meets the NFPA Code 30, Uniform Fire Code (UFC) Articles 79 and 80, or an equivalent local code. Check with your local Fire Marshall to determine which code is locally enforced.
The class of the flammable-combustible material (refer to NFPA Code 30) can also determine what type of building construction is required. Highly flammable materials, such as Category 1, 2, or 3 liquids, will require either a Non–Combustible building or a Fire-Rated building. Non–Combustible buildings are constructed of non-combustible material (such as steel), whereas a Fire-Rated building are constructed of non-combustible materials and include fire resistant insulation in the walls. Fire–Rated buildings are further divided into categories based on the fire resistance of the walls, roof, and openings (doors and vents).
When storing liquids that are not considered a flammable (such as corrosives or toxics), a Non–Combustible building should be sufficient.
The design of the building will also be affected by whether or not you will be dispensing from containers stored in the building. If you will be dispensing a Category 1, 2, or 3 liquid within the building, additional design features such as explosionproof wiring, explosion-relief panels and a ventilation system may be required.
The interior size of the building should accommodate the number of containers required in a single layer and an adequate sump capacity to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Secondary Containment Requirements (40 CFR 264). To meet this regulation, the sum containment should be large enough to hold 100% of the volume of the largest container stored in the building or 10% of the total volume of all containers stored in the building, whichever is larger.
The type of building you select will also have a bearing on the chosen location. Factory Mutual (FM), an insurance and testing agency, specifies minimum distances between the storage building and any other main (occupied) building on the site and the property line of the facility. The following distances are specified by FM:
|Type of Building
|Distance from Main Building or Property Line
|4 hour fire rated: (Walls rated for 4 hours, roof and opening rated for 3 hours)
|< or =10 ft.
|2 hour fire rated: (Walls rated for 2 hours, roof rated for 1 hour, and openings rated for 1-1/2 hours)
|10-50 ft.
|1 hour fire rated: (Walls rated for 1 hour, roof rated for 1 hour, and openings rated for 3/4 hour)
|50-75 ft.
|Non-combustible: (No fire rating)
|>75 ft.
Compliance and Approvals
As mentioned earlier, construction of outdoor chemical storage buildings must comply with a number of regulations including EPA 40 CFR, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, NFPA Codes 30 and 70, and UFC Article 79 and 80. In addition to the construction requirements, certain approvals may also be required for these buildings. These approvals include UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Classification and FM Approval.
Additionally, certain states require that a Professional Engineer apply a Seal of Approval to the building, indicating that it meets all state regulations. Please contact your local Fire Marshall or the agency in your jurisdiction for more details on this State Seal Program and to confirm if your state requires this approval seal.
A variety of options are often available for outdoor chemical storage buildings, helping you to meet all regulatory codes, or to simply customize the building to your needs. Available options include electrical service, heating and cooling systems, fire suppression systems, shelving, insulation, and explosion-resistant features.
If you have further questions regarding outdoor chemical storage buildings or if you would like help selecting and designing a building to meet your needs, please feel free to contact for all technical inquiries about our Outdoor Chemical Storage Buildings, please contact your local Grainger branch.
|Can outdoor chemical storage buildings be moved from one location to another?
|Yes. Outdoor chemical storage buildings are designed to be portable. When moving a building to a new location, be sure to confirm that the new location meets all required distances and local codes. A building can also be moved indoors if needed. Buildings being relocated indoors should have a continuous ventilation system that is exhausted to the outdoors, a 4-Hour fire rating, a fire suppression system, and explosion relief panels directed towards a safe exterior location. Again, be sure to consult your local Fire Marshall to insure compliance with all local and/or state codes.

|Anti-Escherichia coli O157:H7 activity of free fatty acids under varying pH.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20453913 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Following screening of 4 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E32511, E318N, H4420N, and R508N) for acid tolerance, strain H4420N was selected for further study into the influence of pH on bactericidal activity of 6 fatty acids (capric, lauric, palmitic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic). Strain H4420N was cultured for 6 h in Luria-Bertani broth amended with individual fatty acids at 20 mmol/L, with pH adjusted to 7.0, 4.3, or 2.5. None of the fatty acids exhibited bactericidal activity at pH 7.0 (p >0.05). At pH 4.3, only capric, lauric, and linoleic acids reduced viability of H4420N (p < 0.05). At pH 2.5, oleic (C18:1) and linolenic (C18:3) acids had modest effects on H4420N viability, whereas capric (C10:0), lauric (C12:0), and linoleic (C18:2) acids resulted in a reduction > or =5 log10 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL (p < 0.05). Capric and lauric acids were examined further at pH 2.5 over a range of concentrations (0.15-20 mmol/L). After 10 min of exposure, 5 log10 CFU/mL reductions (p < 0.05) were achieved by lauric acid at 2.5 mmol/L and by capric acid at 0.31 mmol/L. Acid stress increased the sensitivity of acid-tolerant E. coli O157:H7 strain H4420N to fatty acids. Including sources of these fatty acids in diets for cattle might impair the ability of this zoonotic pathogen to survive passage through the stomach, possibly reducing the potential for its colonization in the lower gut.

December 1, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Police arrested seven people at the Alabama Capitol after the group refused to leave during a protest over an expansion of Medicaid in the state.
Anna Morris of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency reports police made numerous requests for the group to leave when the building closed at 5 p.m. Thursday.
The arrests followed days of protests at the Capitol.
The seven were taken to the Montgomery County jail on charges of criminal trespassing. They included civil rights activists Kenneth Glasgow of Dothan and Faya Rose Toure, the wife of state Sen. Hank Sanders of Selma.
Sanders says the refusal to leave the Capitol was a peaceful demonstration over Gov. Robert Bentley's refusal to expand Medicaid in Alabama.
Bentley calls Medicaid a broken system.

JPA 2.0 Feature Requests
I've just come across a blog by David Van Couvering enumerating the plans for JPA 2.0 and was pretty disappointed that it didn't really include any of the features I've been hanging out for in JPA. Fortunately there was a feedback address: email@example.com, so I hastily collated my ideas and sent them there. Will it make any difference? Good question.
Here is my list of feature requests which I sent to that address.JPA 2.0 Feature Requests
David's blog does mention some changes to the management of the persistence context which might help alleviate the problems mentioned in item 9. Let's hope so.
It's great that JPA put an end to the EJB 2.0 persistence debacle, but as you can see, I still feel it is behind the 8-ball when compared to JDO 2.0. Please let me know if I've made any mistakes about what is and isn't in JDO 2.0 / JPA 1.0.

Celebrate Chinese New Year at the Beijing Dongyue Temple Fair The Chinese New Year holidays is the best time of the year to experience traditional Chinese culture. People generally have at least three days off, and they use the time to take part in some generations-old traditions.
To help you choose the best places to experience the Chinese New Year, here are five of the biggest celebrations in 2016 in the country: Beijing has temple fairs, Guangzhou has flower fairs, Hong Kong has large extravaganzas, Shanghai has special entertainment, and Harbin has its ice lantern and snow festivals.
As the former capital of the Yuan, Ming and Qing empires, Beijing's temples have hundreds of years of religious traditions and public entertainment. You can expect special entertainment such as martial arts displays or lion and dragon dances, special sales, and festival foods at the festival fairs at Ditan Temple, Longtan Temple and Dongyue Temple. China Highlights' Chinese New Year tour to Beijing includes a visit to a Chinese New Year temple fair. The fireworks, fairs and sports competitions are the Spring Festival highlights, but require special travel plans. See Chinese New Year in Beijing 2016 for more.
The big southern city of Guangzhou is sometimes billed the "Flower City" in China for its blooming gardens all the year round. Guangzhou's Spring Festival flower fairs are the highlight of the holidays. The flower fairs usually start three days ahead of the Spring Festival, and they climax on the Eve. There will be various folk performances, and local artists also demonstrate and sell their paintings and calligraphy works in the fairs.
The city was originally a Cantonese city, and they attach a lot of significance to displaying various plants on Chinese New Year. Each plant given as a gift conveys a different wish. Most of the people speak Cantonese, and in their language the kumquat is called "gamgatsue." The word "gam" rhymes with the word for gold, and the word "gat" sounds like the Chinese word for good luck. Therefore, having a kumquat tree at home symbolizes both "abundance of wealth" and good luck. The word in Mandarin ("jinqianju") has a pronunciation similar to many auspicious words. "Jin" is similar to gold, "qian" to money, and "ju" to luck.
Kumquat trees, peach blossoms and peonies are the most sought-after plants at the flower fairs. The peach is a symbol of longevity and is regarded as the strongest defense against evil. The peony is held in high regard by Chinese people. It's "the flower of richness and honor." Among their many colors, the bright red ones are particularly auspicious, bringing good luck and prosperity.
The major flower fairs in Guangzhou are the Xihu Flower Fair, the Donghu Flower Fair, the Liwan Flower Fair, and the Tianhe Flower Fair. More on Guangzhou Flower Fairs
Among the traditions celebrated during the Spring Festival in Guangzhou, lion dances are performed to bring good fortune and to ward off evil spirits. The person performing the lion's head initiates the movements, and then the other performers behind him will follow so that the movements are synchronized, smooth and look catlike. The lion's movements, accompanied by firecrackers and loud music, are thought to scare away the evil spirits and to welcome in good fortune. On the first working day after the Spring Festival public holidays, many companies invite teams to perform the lion dance on their grounds hoping that it will bring good fortune and prosperity to the company.

Known as the Paris of the East, Shanghai celebrates the Spring Festival in many ways that reflect its mixed culture. Various entertainments are held to celebrate this week-long extravaganza. Besides the indoor activities, Shanghai folks, especially the younger generation, join in the New Year countdowns at squares or beside the Huangpu River.
During the Spring Festival, numerous high-quality live performances of various genres will be on in many theaters, concert halls and arts centers. You can enjoy the wonderful performances presented by world-class masters. From classical chefs-d'oeuvre to Chinese folk music, from Rock & Roll to Jazz, you have so many choices! See our article on Live Music in Shanghai.
If you prefer Chinese style, go visit Shanghai's temples where locals will be praying and ringing bells for good luck in the coming year. Big events take place in major temples like Longhua Temple, City God Temple and Jing'an Temple. People pay big money to ring the bell and burn "the first incense" at the strike of midnight.
Harbin is the most popular winter destination for winter activities among Chinese, expats in China, and foreign tourists. Harbin's bone-chilling winters provide the proper climate for the city's most prominent claim to fame. The festival lasts more than a month. It is comprised of two big events: an Ice Lantern Festival where ice cities sprout up every winter and a snow sculpture festival. More on Harbin's Ice and Snow Festival
Chinese New Year takes place in late January or early February. It is usually the coldest time in China. North China is a frozen expanse with average temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F). Take Beijing and Harbin for example. In Beijing, the temperature sometimes plummets to -10 °C (14 °F) during the New Year. It is even colder in Harbin with the lowest temperature below -20 °F (-4 °F). Snowy, icy weather is common.
South China is a warmer than the north, but it isn't generally warm at all in the real sense. Winter in the Yangtze region (Nanjing, Shanghai and Wuhan) is chilly and windy.
However the southern cities of Hong Kong and Macau are comfortable in winter. The weather in Guangzhou sometimes feels comfortable in winter, and it even gets sunny sometimes, but usually it feels cold.
1. Is it possible to travel in China during Chinese New Year?
Travel to China is possible over Chinese New Year as long as you are well-prepared. Be prepared to see big crowds in the streets, restaurants, trains and train stations. Travel bookings, especially for trains, are extremely tight, and hotels generally increase their rates. Read details on Chinese Spring Festival travel (Chunyun)
2. Will everything be closed over Chinese New Year?
Tourist-related enterprises open as usual, even though government buildings and offices are closed during the New Year holiday. Restaurants, tourist attractions, hotels, airports, and departments stores will be open and ready for more customers.
3. What is the weather like during the New Year Festival?
China's New Year Festival takes place in the late January to late February period, which is the coldest time in China. North China is a frozen expanse with the average temperature below 0°C (32°F). Take Beijing and Harbin for example. In Beijing the temperature sometimes plummets to -10°C (14°F) during the New Year. It is even colder in Harbin with the lowest temperatures below -20°C (-4°F). Snowy and icy weather is common.
South China is warmer than the north, but it isn't warm at all in the real sense. Winter in the Yangtze region (Nanjing, Shanghai, and Wuhan) is cold, sometimes frozen, and windy. Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are comfortable in winter. Wintering in southern Yunnan province is enjoyable, but a big difference occurs in temperature between day and night.
4. Do I need to bring some small gifts for my guide during the New Year? If so what are the best options?
Gifts from tourists to tour guides are not expected. But your tour guides will appreciate it if you do bring a surprise for them. A pair of warm gloves, a warm scarf, or a box of candies are recommended.
5. In terms of lucky money, how much should I give and how should I give it?
The amount of lucky money varies according to the recipient and the relations between the giver and the recipient. Bosses gifts to employees and parents gifts to children usually range from 100 to 500 yuan or even more. The money is put in a red envelope. Parents usually give the lucky money to their children on the first day of Chinese New Year. Bosses give the lucky money to their employees on the first working day of the New Year.

American auto industry added 463,100 jobs over 5 yrs; best growth since 90s. June also best auto sales since '06. pic.twitter.com/EZWR5wKuvO
— Jason Furman (@CEAChair) July 3, 2014
The unemployment rate slid to 6.1 percent in June, which, following several years of chronic joblessness, has a relatively positive ring to it. The economy added 288,000 jobs, the Labor Department reported today.
This follows that 2.9 percent annualized slide in GDP during the first quarter of 2014, the worst contraction since the worst recession since the Great Depression.
"A rebound in the economy after a first-quarter slump is encouraging companies such as Ford Motor Co. (F) to add to staffing levels, laying the groundwork for a pickup in wages needed to further propelconsumer spending," Shobhana Chandra reports. "More employment opportunities will probably keep Federal Reserve policy makers on the path to reduce monetary stimulus.
"The improvement in the labor market is accelerating," says Robert Stein, deputy chief economist at First Trust Portfolios LP in Wheaton, Illinois, and the top forecaster of payrolls the past two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. "We're seeing a self-sustaining recovery where production growth leads to job growth, which leads to consumption growth."
Since the trough of the recession, through mid-term elections and a presidential reelection campaign, the White House has been highlighting an unrelenting monthly gain in jobs. Today, the streak is running at four and a third years:
FACT: Our businesses have added jobs for 52 straight months, the longest such streak since at least 1939. #ActOnJobs pic.twitter.com/xrxny1RSEc
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 3, 2014
Reporting form the White House, Bloomberg's Mike Dorning notes, however, that while all the jobs lost during the recession have been replaced, the median wage has come out smaller on the recovery end. And this isn't putting much wind in the sails of the president's party heading into November.

I am a happily married man of 15 years with six great kids and a wonderful wife. I only have one concern that it is the lack of affection I feel toward my wife. It's not a lack of love. I'm talking about sexual affection. I like sex, just not as much as my wife, I guess. I love my wife, and I find her attractive, but I don't like to make love as much as she does.
My friends tell me I'm crazy. They think that it's usually the other way around where the wife is the one who isn't as interested. But for me, I just don't want to do it that often and I am sure that it hurts her feelings.
She has told me that she doesn't feel loved by me. She doesn't feel that I find her attractive. She thinks something's wrong with her. In fact, she recently joined a gym to "get back into shape."
Now I'm not sure what she's going for because she's already as fit as any woman I know. I'd rather not see her lose any weight because I think that might be unhealthy for her.
I know that I'm hurting her feelings and I feel bad about it. But I want to be honest too and it doesn't mean that I don't love her just because I'm not having sex with her every day.
I don't completely neglect her: we do have sex at least once a week so please keep that in mind. My question is what to do. And, I also wonder if there's something wrong with me.
Answer:Well, sir, I think that many of my clients would like to trade problems with you. But, be that as it may, I understand that this is a serious issue and one that can cause a lot of resentment and hurt feelings. My advice is to compromise and have sex a little more often. Sometimes relationships are about just doing what the other person wants because it makes them happy even if it's not really what you want. And if your spouse does the same for you, everyone wins.
Let me say also that I don't think there's anything wrong with you. You said you like having sex, that you find her attractive and that you're having sex at least once a week. OK: some people like to have sex more often than once per week (your wife obviously being one of them), but once a week is pretty much average for married couples aged 25 - 69. So, you're OK there, but I doubt very much that your wife gives a hoot what the averages are. She wants what she wants. If this is the biggest problem the two of you have, you're living the dream. Get it together, man, and give her more of what she wants. She'll feel more confident and you'll reap the rewards as your relationship thrives. A confident and happy wife uplifts the whole family.
You can tell her that you're attracted to her, and her rational mind might believe you. But in her heart, it's not going to feel like it if you're rejecting her advances. If you don't increase your frequency, she'll continue to feel this way. If you try to meet her demands daily? well, that might just not be possible so? Therefore, compromise is in order. Try to meet her halfway. At this rate, even having sex twice a week would double your minimum. And as a bonus, you ought to initiate things once in a while. That's my advice.
A couple other thoughts in closing: 1. You might consider a medical exam to see if you can increase your sex drive if you so desire. 2. Counseling would be helpful in helping you two get on the same page. 3. Make sure you're expressing love in other ways as you see fit (flowers, favors, love notes, etc?).

Perlemoen added to list of imperilled species
By Eleanor Momberg
Perlemoen, known elsewhere as abalone, has been listed as an endangered species under international trade controls as part of the South African government's efforts to stem the illegal trade in the threatened species.
The move, welcomed by conservationists, comes amid a spate of multi-million rand perlemoen busts by police.
While South African companies legally export perlemoen to mainly Eastern markets, more than a million of the shellfish were confiscated from smugglers last year - a massive increase from 21 000 in 1994.
Poaching of perlemoen has resulted in the total allowable catch in legal commercial fisheries being reduced from 430 tons in the 2002/03 season to 125 tons for the 2006/07 season.
Since last month, two people have been arrested in Northern Cape, 10 in Gauteng, 12 in Mpumalanga and four in the Western Cape for illegal possession of, and dealing in, perlemoen.
In Gauteng, six Chinese nationals and six Mozambicans were arrested for being in possession of perlemoen worth R11-million.
The Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism said the listing, in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites), comes into effect on May 3.
All future export consignments of perlemoen will now have to be accompanied by Cites documentation.
Dr Rob Little, acting chief executive officer of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), South Africa, said: "Apart from enhancing the sustainability of the stocks, it is critical that the millions of rands lost to the illegal poaching of abalone is turned into valued foreign revenue."
Markus Bürgener of Traffic, the wildlife trade monitoring network of the WWF and the International Conservation Union, said the listing could reduce illegal harvest and trade in the valuable and sought-after marine mollusc.
"However, the listing alone is unlikely to secure results and much will depend on the support provided to customs and Cites officials in all countries through which the product is traded."
According to Traffic, poached perlemoen is frequently smuggled into Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland, from where it is exported. Poached perlemoen was also traded through Namibia, which, like South Africa, also has a legal trade.
Bürgener said despite commendable efforts by the South African government to address the poaching, including the establishment of an environmental court specifically to deal with perlemoen-related criminal cases, the international nature of the trade meant the help of other countries was also needed. This would be most effectively achieved with the Cites listing.

Mini Mart City Park: Infusing an urban wasteland with hope and imagination
By Kelly Igoe
The story:
There is a ramshackle wooden building just north of Boeing Field in Georgetown. It was built in 1932. It used to be a gas station. Underground tanks in the back yard stockpiled 40,000 gallons of jet fuel during World War II. The building probably had a heyday, but the peeling paint and blackberry canes indicate that was a long time ago, a memory of the dead.
The area hosts a mix of homes and industrial warehouses. A couple semi-trucks rumble past every minute or so. With Boeing Field right there and Sea-Tac Airport not far beyond that, airplanes cruise low and loud overhead all day long. The lost little gas station is part of a strip of land rezoned for residential use in the mid-90s. The toxicity of the site keeps developers away. No one wants to tangle with the expense of brownfield remediation for a couple of speculative town houses fronting a busy road.
No one, that is, except SuttonBeresCuller, a trio of installation artists whose latest scheme, the Mini Mart City Park, is causing a ruckus in the halls of the Seattle Department of Planning and Development. The artists originally conceived of their Park as a temporary take-over, a verdant gift to a grizzled community. They wanted to rent an abandoned gas station or fast food restaurant in South Seattle and convert it into a conservatory, preserving the telltale exterior but stuffing the inside with plants in refrigerated vending units. On the strength of this concept, SuttonBeresCuller was awarded a $50,000 grant from Creative Capital, a New York–based nonprofit.
They found the Georgetown building. They figured out how to rent it. They began tearing out blackberries and cleaning up littered needles and condoms. They gutted the interior, exposing ancient fir that reeks with absorbed chemicals. They drew up plans for an extension off the back that would be roofless: a walled park spilling into the sky. And here is where their challenges really began, or maybe they are still beginning.
"I'm exhausted, but at least I'm still smiling," says John Sutton, a trio member along with Ben Beres and Zac Culler. "City bureaucracy has delayed everything." Stalled in a permitting purgatory, SuttonBeresCuller has adjusted the scope of the project considerably. Given the site's toxicity, the building's decrepitude and the unprecedented nature of a public park erected privately as art, a temporary sculptural installation is no longer feasible. The City would have required the artists to construct their planned extension with eight-foot-deep foundations — an absurd expense of labor, materials and time. Clever problem-solving got them out of that jam: they re-imagined the park as a hillock consuming the gas station. The park element will be on top of and around the building, instead of inside the building. But that doesn't get them out of complicated obligations to the City like seismically retrofitting the existing structure, and working with the EPA on soil testing.
SuttonBeresCuller understand that moving forward means building a permanent structure on shaky ground. "We are trying to figure out how to purchase the site so the building is permanent," says Sutton. It will eventually be a major benefit to the community, but the City doesn't want to take on another pocket park right now. Maybe a major arts funder will swoop in to buy the site and the project, possibly deeding the park to the City one day. Or maybe it will become a community-driven experiment, with neighbors "staffing" the Mini Mart once the doors open to the public. On top of the challenges SuttonBeresCuller faces with the rule-makers at the DPD, they are embroiled in a funding puzzle that will truly test their ability to think outside the box.
Sutton reports that officials at DPD are excited about this idea and definitely want to see it come to fruition. However, this will require careful massaging of the rules, and there's no choice for the artists but to bend to the City's lingering timeline as it chews over something as unfamiliar as the Mini Mart City Park.
Why it's worldchanging:
The Mini Mart City Park is artful, creative and optimistic. Taking on a brownfield remediation for the good of a community is an altruistic endeavor, but Sutton knows that altruism has its limits. There is no profit model inherent in what the artists are trying to do, and yet they envision this project as a potential model for other contaminated sites in scruffy communities across the nation. We agree with their hunch: by turning a would-be wasteland into a public resource that speaks to the neighborhood identity, the Mini Mart park is exactly the kind of living, breathing, interactive teaching tool that will instill hope for cleaning up our past mistakes and embarking on a better future.
In February 2009, SuttonBeresCuller will apply to the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods for a matching grant. If awarded, the City will match volunteer labor hour-for hour with the going rate for similar services. Then the artists find committed volunteers to help them do some dirty work. The City looks like the good guy. And people get involved in a unique community clean-up effort. Everybody wins.
If you would like to sign up for future volunteer work, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Read more about the project and progress at minimarcitypark.com.
Kelly Igoe spends a lot of time staring out her kitchen window at the shifting sky. She also writes, rides her bicycle, gardens, studies yoga and sells apple cider at Seattle's farmers' markets. Her essays have been published in Rivet Magazine.

With the forthcoming gig, it was time to get out the debut album by John Matthias with the best cover artwork of the year! And what's it like to listen to?
John Matthias & Cortical Songs Live promises to be one of the highlights of 2008 and you'll recall the Marrhias album Stories From The Watercooler is a collection of twelve short stories on themes such as the shooting of Jean Charles De Menezes, to fake alternative therapies, credit ratings and telephone banking, from boxing to Japanese internment camps in California and bombs with the face of Britney Spears painted on!
Now this doesn't sound a barrell of laughs but as recommended "folk music for a new millenium" it's not as miserable as you might imagine. Sort of John Martyn meets The Smiths? Even songs about "life and the world" have some upbeat moments like 'Blind Lead The Blind' and the rockin' 'Spinnaker'.
Apart from his collaborations with Nick Ryan (as Cortical Songs) you may recall John was also the vocalist on Coldcut's 'Man In A Garage' (from the album Sound Mirrors) and has worked with Matthew Herbert (who's new 'Big Band' album is coming out in November!).
Whilst Coldcut are looking to Switch to produce thier next album, they've done a great job here (with Roy Merchant) and if that's not enough name dropping, John and Thom Yorke used to be in a band in their university days and that's the link Radiohead's regular Stanley Donwood sleeve designer who has done the incredible artwork for this album.
This album has the feel of a polished Lupen Crook and really tracks like 'Evermore', 'It's Not' and 'I Will Disappear' leave you wondering why this guy isn't better known; excellent album.

As I clicked through the stations of my Dish Network, I noticed quite a few shows, including NCIS-LA.
I must say, I am tired of the negative depiction of Muslims, including quotes from the Quran (the holy book for Muslims), displayed on television. It's sad enough that there are narrow-minded thinkers in the world, but do we have to discriminate against a beautiful religion?
There are evils and extremists in all sects of religion. But selling Islam with terrorism is like selling Christianity with pedophilic priests. It is provocative and misleading. Educate the people and let them experience the beautiful side of Islam.
I was raised Jewish by my mother, and my father converted to Islam. I have many family members who are Christian and are members of various sects. I am blessed to have grown up with an open-minded family who taught my brothers and myself the importance of humanity and open-mindedness.
Please don't allow your television to brainwash you or your children. Travel, ask followers of different sects and traditions, smell and taste the foods and hear the dialects. Don't allow books to teach and influence you. I would never read about the Torah if it were written by an atheist. I am careful with what I feed my mind, and you should be as well.

Dr Rosellen Roche
AB (Harvard University), MPhil, PhD (Cambridge)
Temporary Lecturer and Research Fellow
Tel: +44 (0) 28 9097 3861
E-mail: email@example.com
Rosellen Roche was educated at the universities of Harvard and Cambridge in Social Anthropology and was awarded her PhD from Cambridge in 2004. Rosellen was a Fellow of the Institute of Irish Studies at Queen's University from 2003 to 2005 while she acted as Head of Project for the government and European Union funded initiative the Toward Reconciliation and Inclusion Project (TRIPROJECT). She then came to the School of History and Anthropology at Queen's University in 2005 as an Economic and Social Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow in Social Anthropology for 2005-2006. Following, Rosellen was appointed to a temporary Lectureship in the School and has been a temporary Lecturer since 2006. Rosellen is currently Head of the Facts, Fears and Feelings Project, which examines the impact and role of sectarianism in everyday life in Northern Ireland. She continues to act as a consultant through the Northern Irish Community Relations Council for the government's largest anti-sectarian initiative to date, A Shared Future, focusing on policy and the strategic framework for good relations in Northern Ireland.
Research InterestsRosellen's research incorporates a host of issues surrounding children, young people and young adults, particularly those in living in situations of deprivation and prolonged conflict. Her research areas include the USA, UK and Ireland, although currently her main field for research is Northern Ireland.
Many of the areas on which Rosellen focuses include violence (overt and cultural) and health, incorporating aspects of stress and resilience from exposure to violence, misuse of drugs and alcohol, and pre-teenage and teenage sexual experience. Equally, her research examines issues of schooling and leaving school, and access to education through various mediums, including traditional and non-traditional settings. Her research also investigates relationships between forms of authority (police and paramilitaries) and young people, particularly with regard to paramilitary punishment of young people in the Northern Irish 'post conflict' era. Many of these areas are examined with the overall aim to discuss the overt, structural and cultural violences that come from states of conflict, including those which demonstrate tit-for-tat violence.
Much of Rosellen's research has had an applied impact, informing on governmental initiatives in the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister and the Equality Directorate. Some of her work has also informed on new measures for those who have left school at 16 and those involved in government initiatives to help those most at-risk.

Issaquah woman pleads guilty to insurance fraud
November 5, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 4:30 p.m. Nov. 5, 2010
A 67-year-old Issaquah woman has pleaded guilty to three insurance fraud charges, after she demanded more than $600,000 from insurers in the aftermath of a fender bender.
Investigators said Linda Ann Rose was involved in a parking lot collision Nov. 13, 2004. During the incident, a sport-utility vehicle struck Rose's vehicle, a rented Ford Mustang.
Though photos of both vehicles showed only minor damage, Rose claimed severe back injuries resulted from the collision.
Rose's attorney demanded $656,874 from the SUV owner's insurers and then filed a personal injury lawsuit in the case.
Investigators from state Insurance Commissioner's Office determined she had knowingly provided altered medical records to her attorney and determined she had suffered back problems since before the accident.
Rose pleaded guilty to three felony counts of using false claims or proof to file insurance claims. Rose is due in King County Superior Court for sentencing Nov. 19.
Rich Roesler, a spokesman for the Insurance Commissioner's Office, said insurance fraud determining the reach of insurance fraud is difficult to quantify. Often, insurers alert the office to possible fraud.
"Anytime an insurance company has to pay a fraudulent claim, it gets built into the rates," Roesler said.

The La Crosse Technology WS-1516U-IT professional wireless weather station features La Crosse's new state-of-the-art wireless "Instant Transmission" technology, providing weather measurement updates every 4.5 seconds (6.5 seconds for rain)!
The WS-1516U can monitor a number of weather variables including wind speed and direction, rainfall, indoor temperature (note: this product does not measure indoor humidity), outdoor temperature and humidity, and barometric pressure. The weather center also includes time and date display, weather forecast icons, and user-selectable alarm settings for a number of different weather conditions.
The WS-1516 comes complete with wireless indoor console, temperature/humidity sensor, rain gauge, and anemometer. With this La Crosse weather station, the outdoor sensors are all wired together. To clarify, there are no wires coming to the inside display however the three outside sensor devices are all connected to each other, as shown in the picture above.
Note: We do carry a magnetic compass to help you orient your anemometer to true north. For more information on set up, please visit the anemometer page on our WeatherShack education center.
