09 May 2000Business News
The number of "declarations of love" at the beginning of May 2000 exceeded the most optimistic forecasts and currently is at least three times more than the average statistic figures. Everybody was declaring his/her love - from secretaries and clerks to bosses and parliamentarians, and they did so insistently and completely - everybody who could be accessed, was loved.
This impressive epidemic of love stories begun on May 4 2000, when a German or Filipino (this is still under investigation) student sent itheir new worm creation to Internet conference(s). It then spread like wildfire - the worm occupied and affected millions of computers with fantastic speed, because of its "fan-delivery" method of infection. The worm sent copies of its self by using all the addresses that it locates in the victims Outlook address book.
Eugene Kaspersky, Head of Anti-Virus Research at Kaspersky Lab Int., compared the worm's spreading routine with an A-bomb: "This worm sends itself IMMEDIATELY it infects a system (unlike KakWorm that attaches itself to messages that are sent by a user). The worm sends itself to ALL the addresses that it can get from the Address Book (unlike Melissa that uses just 50 addresses). As a result the "chain reaction" of infected messages (and, of course, infected machines and networks) was dramatically accelerated. Imagine an average company with 50 employees, 300 addresses in Outlook, and about 20% of staff not aware about the possible danger in attached messages. The average number of infected messages that will be sent from such a company is 0.20*50*300 = 3000 infected messages. As far as I recall, in nuclear bombs each neutron causes three more neutrons. So you see, a computer love bug can be a 1000 times more powerful than an A-bombs!."
The first region to fall down was Asia, from where (Philippines) the worm started its invasion of the world. When the rest of the World awoke, the worm affected European countries, then followed the time zones and jumped overseas to America. In few hours the whole World was crippled by thenew computer monster. News agencies stated that there were approximately 3 million computers infected, and losses were estimated from a hundred million to 10 billion of US dollars.
It was not too difficult to develop a special cure module against the "LoveLetter" worm. Kaspersky Lab's anti-virus experts spent about 10 minutes to produce an emergency update to AntiViral Toolkit Pro (AVP) anti-virus database. The update was immediately provided to AVP users. The first trouble was that the worm started to mutate. This was because the worm is written in VisualBasic script language, i.e. is distributed in source code and is therefore very easy to modify. As a result everybody who has elementary VisualBasic knowledge is able to refine worm's code, add or remove routines and functions.
The second problem with the detection of script virus and worms is the fact that in some cases the scripts are activated as a program in the system memory only, not as a program from a disk file. As a result, anti-virus monitors responsible for scanning disk files become useless to detect a malicious code in scripts.

This foobar2000 1.0+ component is developed as replacement for Media Player Classic web control interface, which I used quite a lot, but still didn't like it, as it missed quite a number of features I'd like to have. Also I felt it's a shame such great player as foobar2000 couldn't be remotely controlled over http nowadays. So, erm, I went ahead and somehow developed component featuring functions I use by myself on everyday basis.
This component provides the following features via http interface:
- full control of playback, including seekbar;
- basic playlist support;
- basic playback queue support;
- basic media library support;
- basic file browser functions, including ability to browse Microsoft Network;
- a few UI custimization abilities.
Stock interface template is written using synchronious document model (with basic CSS and JS), and has been tested and proved itself working on any modern browser: Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari. Stock interface screenshot

But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away.There, my mind was torn in two by the gods of the earth. There, one life ended so another could begin.
Some will say I was a fool for making the choices I made. But they would have done the same. They, too, would have embraced death if they knew what I knew, and saw through my eyes. My name is Julian and this is my story. But more, it is the story of my son who was born to change the world.

Glenville, WV – Glenville State College Head Football coach David Hutchison has finalized his staff for the 2012 football season.
Johnnie Morton comes to GSC as the new wide receiver coach for the Pioneers. Jonnie was a decorated wide receiver in the NFL, spending his career with the Detroit Lions, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the San Francisco 49ers. Morton is in the top 50 all-time leading receivers in the history of the NFL with 624 receptions for 8,719 yards and 43 touchdowns. Before his NFL career he was a four year starter and an All-American wide receiver at the University of Southern California (USC) where he added a Rose Bowl Championship and Freedom Bowl MVP to his accomplishments. Morton earned a degree in communication from USC in 1993. Most recently, Johnnie was the Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers Coach at South High School in Torrance, California. "Obviously Coach Morton brings an unbelievable amount of experience as a player to our staff, his excitement and drive to be a great coach will be a huge asset to our program," stated Coach Hutchison.
Milo Austin enters his first season on the Pioneer football staff as the new running backs coach. Milo is a former wide receiver at West Virginia University, where he was a letter-winner on the 2004 Big East Championship team. Since obtaining his Bachelor's degree from WVU he has had coaching stops coaching running backs at Midwestern State University, Hampton University, and Montana State University. Milo has most recently served on the University of Cincinnati football staff from June 2010 to July 2011 as the Director of Player Development. "Coach Austin brings a wealth of experience coaching the running back position. He has been very highly recommended and will be huge in the development our young running back group," said Coach Hutchison.
Matt Porter who was one of the 2011 senior captains has decided to switch roles and become a member of the Pioneer staff. He has been hired as the video coordinator and will also coach on the defensive side of the ball. He will be graduating from GSC in May 2012 with a degree in Business Marketing. Matt was 4 year letter winner on Football team while starting the last two. He also was an All-Conference track athlete while at Glenville as a thrower. "Matt has been an integral part of the GSC family for a long time, he will do a great job for us in his new role," stated Coach Hutchison.
The Pioneers open up the 2012 season on the road Thursday, August 30th against Carson-Newman at 7:00pm. Their first home game is Thursday, September 6th against Fairmont State at 7:00pm.

Greens Question 95 Percent of Seattle City Light's Carbon-Free Electricity
Emblazoned across the side of Seattle City Light vehicles is a logo, proclaiming it the "Nation's Greenest Utility." A cornerstone of that claim is that City Light is "carbon neutral."
Less known is that the City Light relies largely on carbon-free hydro and nuclear power, which account for about 94 percent of its energy, to make that claim. Ironically, these energy sources are not recognized as "renewable" by the state.
I'm not sure City Light is the "greenest" utility, but it is correct to count hydro and nuclear as carbon free. Washington state has very low carbon emissions due in large part to hydro and nuclear power.
Some greens, however, are questioning that 94 percent of carbon-free energy in City Light's portfolio.
In Crosscut, environmental activist Martha Baskin writes "The polite fiction that there's nothing controversial about the fuel mix of the Emerald City's public utility, Seattle City Light, is getting a new poke in the eye." She notes that some green groups want City Light to eliminate the 4-5 percent of energy it receives from Energy Northwest's nuclear facility in the Tri-Cities. This push, however, is at odds with the trend among many greens, like the Breakthrough Institute and Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore, who are concerned about climate change who advocate increased use of nuclear energy to cut emissions.
Explaining its support for nuclear, The Breakthrough Institute notes "the urgency of climate change has recently compelled liberals and progressives to reconsider nuclear as the best zero-carbon source of baseload electricity for a world with rapidly rising energy demand."
Of course, the greens quoted by Baskin hope the nuclear energy will be replaced with solar or wind power. That is unlikely. Nuclear power provides a consistent base load of energy and it is more likely to be replaced by natural gas, which is not carbon free.
Some aren't even happy with the 90 percent that comes from hydro. State Senator Maralyn Chase recently posted an article claiming hydro power is not carbon-free, writing that the claim is "troubling."
I asked City Light officials what they thought about the claim that "dams cause climate change." They responded:
Unlike coal- or natural gas-fired power plants, hydroelectric dams do not generate carbon emissions in their operation to produce electricity. The author of the article you shared wants to argue that methane from degrading biomass material that collects in reservoirs is caused by the dam. As commenters on the article noted, whether it will produce methane depends on the amount of oxygen in the water and the type of decomposition that takes place. This can happen in a river system without a dam also, so it is incorrect to attribute that release to the dam. Furthermore, the release of carbon emissions from the decay of biomass is part of the cycle of existing carbon in our ecosystem.
Again, none of that even addresses the question of what would replace all that carbon-free energy. There is no analysis anywhere claiming that hydro, wind, biomass, conservation or any other sources of carbon-free energy in combination could replace 90 percent of Seattle's energy. The only available replacements are all carbon-intensive.
Taking steps in this direction would simply be cutting off our nose to spite our face.
Left-wing environmentalists often claim climate change is the most important issue of our generation. Instead of focusing on workable solutions that address the real sources of concern, like transportation, many greens get sidetracked by ideological purity efforts that distract from, and undermine, real efforts to make progress.
If we are serious about addressing carbon emissions, we need fewer of these wild goose chases.

Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Hunter Mahan capped off a week of solid play at Ridgewood Country Club by firing a final round 65 to claim a two shot victory at The Barclays. Hunter carded seven birdies and only one bogey during his final round as he jumped up the leaderboard to top off a four-round total of 14-under-par 270.
The win vaults Mahan to the top of the FedEx Cup Playoffs points list heading into the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Hunter's play this week was highlighted by a number of clutch putts but before reaching for his putter, he relied on controlling his golf ball off the tee and into the greens to set up his scoring opportunities. Helping him along the way to hitting a field-leading 80.6% of his greens in regulation this week has been Hunter's laser-focused approach to his preparation.
"I don't want to waste a shot anywhere, on the range, on the putting green, on a chipping green, on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday," said Mahan during his post-round press conference.
"It's not about putting the time in. It's about putting the right time and putting the real focus on to every shot, because I think that's what great players do. They don't waste a second of practice time when they are out on the golf course."
Great advice for all golfers. And for Hunter, the hard work certainly paid off this week.
Jamie Donaldson (Pro V1x) closed with a 4-under-par 68 to overcome a two shot deficit and post a 14-under-par victory total to claim the D+D Real Czech Masters. The victory was the third of his career and also helped secure him a position on the European Ryder Cup team.
Titleist Pro V1 golf ball loyalist So Yeon Ryu fired a course record 63 in the first round of the Canadian Pacific Women's Open and she never looked back. Ryu continued her stellar play throughout the week and went on to capture a wire-to-wire victory, finishing the tournament at 23-under-par.
At the WinCo Foods Portland Open on the Web.com tour, Pro V1x loyalist Carlos Ortiz posted opening rounds of 66 and 63, propelling him to a 14-under 270 victory total. With the regular season now over on the Web.com Tour, Titleist golf ball loyalists won 13 events on the 2014 Web.com Tour, more than four times the nearest competitor with 3.
Pro V1 golf ball loyalist Scott Dunlap won the Boeing Classic on the Champions Tour after sinking a birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden death playoff. Dunlap set up his winning putt on the par-5 18th hole with an outstanding approach to the right of the pin that bounced past the hole, and then drew back downhill to within four feet. He made an easy two-putt for his first Champions Tour victory.
David Bradshaw (Pro V1x) birdied the final hole at The Great Waterway Classic to claim his first career win on PGA TOUR Canada. Bradshaw fired a final round 5-under 67 to post a 21-under victory total. The victory helped move Bradshaw to ninth place on the Canadian Tour Order of Merit with three events to go in the 2014 season.
On the KPGA Tour, Titleist Brand Ambassador Sang Hyun Park closed with a 4-under-par 67 to win the Vainer Championship by one shot over Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Maeng Dong Seop. Park fired a four round total of 15-under-par 269.
With another seven wins this week, Titleist's year-to-date victory count advances to 117. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 27 and more than all competitors combined.
In total, 16,678 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in competition on the 2014 worldwide professional tours, more than six times the nearest competitor with 2,682 and more than all competitors combined.

Ask Me Another: Politics professor James Richter keeps an eye on Russian society
For about a decade after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, hundreds of millions of Western dollars poured into Russia to promote civil society. The money, however, didn't do the trick, and some of the reasons why are explained in a recent article by Professor of Politics James Richter titled "Integration from Below: The Disappointing Effort to Promote Civil Society in Russia," published in Russia and Globalization: Identity, Security, and Society in an Era of Change (2008), edited by Douglas Blum.

While I am unsure about how I feel about Jacob Zuma as a president, it was really incredible to be apart of a political rally of tens of thousands of people. Besides the size, it was kind of like one big party which included a good message and lots of singing. The fact that Zuma broke out in song and dance after his speech made some level of his popularity clear. He spent so much time making jokes about the opposition that had the audience rolling and closed his words with a performance. Bravo JZ, Bravo.

Hi all. I have been getting Manequim off of ebay for a couple of months but am interested in getting a subscription. I found this on Amazon but with no picture and was wondering if it is the same magazine. It is around 72 dollars. Anyone get a subscription of Manequim from Amazon?
Manequim subscription Amazon
-- Edited on 9/23/12 2:48 PM -- -- Edited on 9/23/12 2:51 PM --
It appears it is since the description is an international publication from Brazil. That is a better price than Burda.
I think it is the same magazine. It would be way cheaper than the $19.00 a copy I am paying on ebay. Also it is the same publisher. I think I will give it a try. Hopefully I am not wasting $80.00 -- Edited on 9/23/12 2:48 PM --
OK, I subscribed to Manequim on Amazon, it was $79.22 instead of $72.00. I guess I looked at the price incorrectly. I will give everyone an update when it arrives in 6 - 8 weeks.
That is the correct publisher (Abril), though I don't know the company that's fulfiling the orders (Magazine Express). It's a fantastic price - I subscribe directly through Abril and I just paid US$95 for a year's subscription, but mine includes shipping to the UK, so I'd assume a US subscription through Abril is a bit less.
The only thing I'd be wary about is how long it'd take for the issues to arrive, if they're being shipped from Abril to the Magazine Express people, and then out to individuals, it may take a while to get to you...
Edit: oh dear, lots of complaints about Magazine Express and missing issues, etc. :(
(PS: All my past Manequim magazine reviews are linked here if anyone's reading this and doesn't know wtf this is!) -- Edited on 9/23/12 5:10 PM --

Hi. I was wondering if you received your Manequim from Amazon and if it was the sewing magazine.
I did receive the sewing magazine Manequim from Amazon. It took two emails and six months to get the first issue. So far I did not get the second issue of my subscription, but did get the third issue. I haven't decided if I want to complain or not or just hope I get the rest of my subscription.

This program combines the Master of Arts in Bioethics with the Ph.D. in Genetics, in cooperation with the Department of Genetics. The rapid pace of human genetic research has led to an ever-increasing number of complex ethical issues, particularly with respect to reproductive genetics (e.g., cloning, human embryonic stem cells, ethical aspects of vitro fertilization), gene therapy, and genetic "privacy." Accordingly, the need for combined training in genetics and bioethics is becoming increasingly obvious.
Students must apply and be accepted to each program to qualify. Applicants may apply simultaneously to each of the two programs; alternatively, students who are already in residence in one of the two programs may apply to enter the other. The Department of Bioethics accepts 6 elective credits of the Bioethics courses toward the Ph.D. in Genetics degree. For more information about this program, please contact Anne Matthews, Ph.D., at 216.368.1821. To receive an application for the Genetics program, call 216.368.3431, or send an email request to firstname.lastname@example.com .

Hi David,
Let's see if your "land of TolerateAll" sticks. And I say that as purely my own opinion, not saying that I hope it sticks or I don't hope it does. Just saying that you have a point, your own point, a point worthy of consideration, but no less or no greater than any other point. I give your point a yellow ribbon for participation.
You may have a point in saying all that. And I'm definitely going to take it into consideration.
Are you guys calling my mother ugly?
The mission statement says, "Religious Affections Ministries exists to encourage believers to think critically about the relative cosmetic merits of their maternal progenitors, to make those judgments known, and to militantly oppose those who disagree with such."
Thanks much for this series. I have benefited from your reflections.

AMONG those that perished at Kyadondo was Vision Group's Steve Tinka. He was 24. Young and energetic, Steve, as he was fondly known, was a sit-in radio presenter for Vision Voice.
His friend, Vision Voice programmes director Bill Tibingana, heard his last words.
"Steve was at my left handside, a bottle of Alvaro in hand,†recalls Tibingana.
"The match between Spain and The Netherlands was heating up. He was for Spain, I wasn't. Four minutes to fulltime with each team on nil, he touched my shoulder and said 'Look, there's a goal from Spain.' I panicked, much to his amusement because I was absent-minded. Suddenly, a loud explosion tore through the night, followed by another. Revellers scattered.â€
When the smoke cleared, Steve was bleeding from the forehead, Tibingana said, adding that he tried to resuscitate him in vain. Steve was hurried to Mulago, where he was pronounced brain-dead, and put on life-support.
His father, Varen Tinkamanyire, a retired civil servant and mother, Eva Komurembe, a retired banker, arrived at Mulago's Intensive Care Unit an hour later.
"Steve was wrapped up in bandages, with just a heartbeat to hang onto. At about 4:00pm, the doctor confirmed him dead,†said a distraught Tinkamanyire yesterday.
Steve and the old man had spoken a week earlier. Steve had gone for his younger sister Stacy Tinka's visitation day at Our Lady of Good Counsel in Gayaza.
He had called his father and asked him to talk to Stacy. The next the old man heard of Steve was in a distress call asking him to rush to Mulago.
A personal friend, Steve had an infectious personality. Many who interacted with him will tell you he enjoyed partying.
His last Facebook update on Saturday at 10:42am said: "I just gate-crashed a wedding in Najjera…I don't even know the couple.â€
The "about me†part on his page says: "Hmm, just know I am funny…really nice and everyone loves me.†Now every other update on his page is sorrowful as several of his 385 friends on the social network send him off.
Gilbert Kidimu, his old boy from high school, posted: "Rest in peace, Steve. You were full of life.â€
Ken Katuramu, his bosom buddy and Vision Voice presenter, posted: "Tell me it ain't true..Pliz be alive bro...Pick up yo phone.â€
Some thanked him for the music he played while on air, but especially for the friendship. He loved Alvaro. If he ever boozed, he was just experimenting since he was not into alcohol.
Born on January 1, 1986, Steve joined Vision Voice in mid-2008 as a trainee, presenting in the night. From 2009, he became a sit-in presenter. By the time of his death, Steve had hosted various shows, including "Between the Sheets†and "The Early Edition.â€
He also juggled stints in public relations and advertising agencies. On WBS, he sometimes hosted K Files, a lifestyle show.
He was an avid fan of John Grisham and loved music. Justin Timberlake, The Fallout Boyz and Beyonce Knowles being some of his selections.
The fifth of his father's seven children, Steve attended Kitante Primary School up to P.5. He joined Lohana Academy, where he sat PLE. He then went to Uganda Martyrs' Namugongo up to S.2, before Ntinda View College, where he sat A'levels.
Steve had taken a dead year from his bachelor's degree in procurement at St. Lawrence University.
His funeral service will take place on Wednesday, 10:00am, at Kamwokya Catholic Church.
He will be buried on Thursday in Nyarugoote, Nyabubale in Igara, Bushenyi district.
Thank you for the friendship, Steve. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

It takes something quite extreme to drive Edwize to "valley girl" discourse. We are teachers and we are New Yorkers, and proud of both, so we lean toward the intellectual side of things. Ask us about that good book we just finished reading, the great jazz gig we saw over the weekend or the latest exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, not who is on the top of the pop music charts.
But we confess that the language of the intellect just seems woefully inadequate when it comes to describing some of the incredibly stupid things that pass for informed commentary on teacher unions and charter schools in the blogosphere. In the wake of the firing of Nichole Byrne Lau, it seems that the only response that some blogging charter school advocates could mount was to fall back on these dumb ideas. Perhaps we could call those moments "sound and fury signifying nothing," but employing a line of Shakespeare makes them sound far more substantive than they actually are. "Like duh…" seems to be a far more appropriate characterization for the sort of mindlessness that could have come straight out of the mouth of Homer Simpson. [Okay, we do know a few popular culture references.]
Here are the top four dumb ideas about teacher unions and charter schools we have seen, again and again, these last few weeks.
Teacher unions want to impose their issues and their ways of doing things on charter school teachers.
The first rule of successful organizing, the famous community organizer Saul Alinsky never tired of stressing, is that it must be done around the issues and the concerns of the people being organized. A teacher union that does not organize charter school teachers around their issues will be a teacher union that does not organize very many charter school teachers. Perhaps this is what anti-union forces in the charter school world want, but teacher unions are not likely to be so inept as to oblige them on this count.
Charter school teachers tell us that they are concerned that they can be fired, without just cause, when they do nothing more than speak up for themselves and their students. They say that they are worried that the intensity and demands of their work load will lead to burn out, and keep them from making the work they love – teaching – into a life-long career. They fear that the salary, pension and health care benefits provided by their schools, which only rarely match those in the surrounding school district, will make it impossible to raise a family at their current jobs. In all too many charter schools, they complain that their professional knowledge and skills are not respected, and that they have no voice in the important decisions of the school. Those are the issues that will be the foundation of any union organizing drive in charter schools, and those are the issues that will be the focus of collective bargaining in the charter school context.
Teacher unions insist that charter schools adopt the 'master contract' with the local school district.
Never mind that the actual 15 page contract we negotiated and signed with Amber Charter School, an independent start up charter school organized by the UFT, does nothing of the sort. Anti-union partisans do not feel themselves bound by such mundane things as facts.
There is more general conceptual problem here, the assumption that existing collective bargaining agreements with school districts have the status of 'sacred scriptures' for teacher unions. In reality, contracts are agreements between two parties, and, as such, they must express the interests and the needs of the management side as well as the labor side. They are, by their very nature, compromises. When management attacks the contract, as the Department of Education under Klein has done, what they are saying is that they don't want to compromise with the men and women who teach New York City's school children — they want absolute rule.
Moreover, collective bargaining agreements developed in the context of school systems organized along industrial lines, in factory model schools, are going to bear the imprint of that bureaucratic mode of organization. Collective bargaining agreements developed in the charter school context will look quite different.
All in all, there is much in existing collective bargaining agreements with school districts that teachers and teacher unions would willingly excise, reformulate in simpler ways or trade-in for a meaningful teacher voice in important decisions. We do defend the idea of collective bargaining, and the principle that there should be checks and balances on the authority of management, but that is a quite different matter from treating existing contracts as immutable, revealed truth. Far from defending and extending the status quo, we are looking for ways to negotiate better contracts, and to create post-industrial, bureaucracy free schools which work better for students and for teachers.
Teacher unions insist that teachers in charter schools who earn more than they would under the 'master contract' with the local school district have their salaries lowered.
We should only have the opportunity to do such a stupid thing. If the salaries of charter schools actually surpassed the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the school district, it would push the area labor market for all teachers toward a higher salary. When employers compete with better salaries, benefits and working conditions to attract the most skilled and accomplished employees, the employees benefit. Rather than attempting to thwart such a development, we would do our best to encourage it. In the words of that great Republican, "Go ahead, pay teachers more: make our day."
The little problem here is reality. Eveywhere we look, charter schools pay less than teachers would get under the 'master contract,' thus stimulating a 'race to the bottom' rather than a healthy labor market. In New York City, we have yet to see a single start-up charter school that pays a better salary than the Department of Education. When one looks past the usual grandstanding spin of Eva Moskowitz on this question, you discover that the additional pay her charter school offers does not even fully compensate the additional time she is demanding of the teachers, much less pay them more, and that the health benefits and pension her school provides do not come close to those provided under the collective bargaining agreement with New York City.
Teacher unions want automatic unionization, forcing charter school teachers into the union without their consent.
A union does not reside in office, or in elected officials; it resides in the collective will, the solidarity, of the members. With that will, a great deal is possible; without it, very little. There are no shortcuts that can avoid the sort of 'nuts and bolts' organizing a union needs to build solidarity and collective will.
The irony here is that not only among charter schools, but throughout the United States, the reality is not one of workers being forced, against their will, into unions, but of workers being the subject of harassment, threats, firing and other retaliations for exercising their First Amendment freedom of association right to organize a union. In the United States, almost 23,000 workers are fired or harassed each year for attempting to organize a union. According to a study conducted by the University of Illinois at Chicago 's Center for Urban Economic Development (CUED), Undermining the Right to Organize,
* 30% of American employers fire pro-union workers.
* 49% of American employers threaten to close a worksite when workers try to form a union.
* 51% of American employers coerce workers into opposing unions with bribery or favoritism.
* 82% of American employers hire union-busting consultants to fight organizing drives.
* 91% of American employers force employees to attend one-on-one anti-union meetings with supervisors.
The denial of the freedom of association for American workers is so widespread that the international human rights organization Human Rights Watch has issued a 300+ page report condemning it, Unfair Advantage: Workers' Freedom of Association in the United States under International Human Rights Standards.
There are those who think that the Bill of Rights ends at the workplace – and schoolhouse – door. They are adamant that charter schools be a union-free zone. Rather than defend that position, they claim — against all evidence — that teacher unions believe in forcing teachers into unions. There is a name for such behavior: it's called projection.

Defense was the name of the game for the Fond du Lac boys basketball team Friday night as the Cardinals shut down Kimberly for a 38-23 road win.
The Cardinals (4-3, 3-3) held the Papermakers (2-6, 1-5) to single digits in each quarter, while outscoring them 10-2 in the second quarter and 14-9 in the fourth.

|While I am familiar with the characteristics of the .223 or 5.57mm round as well as the characteristics of both the m16 variants that shoot the military version and principally the Ruger mini 14 that is chambered for the civilian version ( and they ARE different), and the weight advantage of the 5.57 vs the 7.62 I mentioned the piece because it represents the state of the art today...discounting the Buck Rogers stuff that is on the design boards and in testing now.
furthermore I understnd what you are saying about letting the situation dictate the weapon required...just like a golfer has several clubs in his bag.. the discussion however was centering around the technological advances in waaponry from the beginning to the end of the WBTS. I maintained and still maintain that the rifled musked, coupled with a minnie made for a HUGE technological leap.

Like a less-temperamental floating camel, the Old Town Dirigo Tandem Plus Kayak carries two people and their gear across whatever body of water you point it at. Durable roto-molded polyethylene plastic is sculpted into a stable, forgiving shape that is still surprisingly fast through the water. Cushioned seats make every outing a fun one, while the Glide Track foot brace system ensures a stable, secure ride. The combination of a Click Seal hatch and glove box hatch give you plenty of storage for delicate items. For the less breakable things, throw them under the deck bungee for quick access. Retractable carry handles, paddle holders, and dual cup holders simply add to the feature-heavy nature of this all-purpose recreational kayak.

When it comes to props, generally if you paint something, throw in a few leds, and 'weather' it a bit no one will question it unless they're specifically looking to recreate it or otherwise learn more about it. Some very distinctive things like the Schick razor in Phantom Menace were borderline obvious as an item just about everyone has seen regularly, even daily for some, in their normal lives and yet 99% of the audience never would have noticed it unless someone pointed it out.

Bring on the new!
But what did we loose mid way?
I swear: replace "Bangalore" with "Manila", then every other reference to India with a reference to the Philippines, and the piece would still ring as true. (Aren't we all brothers and sisters from another mother?) This is evidenced by my reading Aravind Adiga's "The White Tiger" as a Filipino novel, and Indians' praise of Miguel Syjuco's "Ilustrado" as an Indian novel. Which makes me look forward even more to Mukherjee's new book.
nice overview - and, yes, all of the countries that have begun the transition from traditional cultures to a more fluid individualized (and more unhappy) dynamic way-of-life have the same characteristics. Focusing on women is specially interesting, because they have the most to gain and are often the locus of the most conflict between the old and the emerging lifestyles.
